Chapter 580: Chen Ying's surrender

It is said that Wang Ping was humiliated, abandoned Dazhai overnight, and rushed to the Xu Huang camp on the front line of the tributaries of the river. The road was muddy, and he was inexplicably ashamed and indignant in his heart, hoping that Xu Huang could correct his name. After walking dozens of miles of mountain roads in the dark night, I finally saw Xu Huang, who had just rested.

Wang Ping cried, although Xu Huang was angry when he listened, he was a careful person, so he couldn't help but calm down and think about it carefully. Wang Ping was demoted to an ordinary soldier by the main general, and Cao Ren definitely had this power. If he came out for Wang Ping, he would touch on the most sensitive topic in the Cao family's troops, the battle between the generals of the clan and the generals with foreign surnames.

Among Cao Cao's subordinates, there were many generals of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan, such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xiahou Shang, Cao Zhen, etc., they were either Cao Cao's cousins, or sons and nephews, and they were naturally very trusted. However, Cao Cao has strong military strength, in addition to the strong support of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, but also because Cao Cao knows people and is good at his duties, and appoints generals with foreign surnames in an eclectic manner. In the official history, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xu Huang, and then Li Dian, Xu Chu, Zang Ba, Dian Wei and other fierce generals, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and other ministers, all of them are famous in history.

For generals with foreign surnames, the biggest hope is whether the official title is equal to the merit. However, this is only a good wish. The highest-ranking in the army was Xiahoudun, a former general; Xiahou Yuan, general of Zhengxi; Cao Ren, general of Zhengnan; Cao Hong, the general of Duhu. The clan generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, even if they are young people with no military merits, will have the title of general general.

Judging from the title, the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan were all pavilions and townsmen of Yishui as soon as they came up, and they soon rose to the level of local princes. Compared with the generals with foreign surnames, when the military merits are the same, not only the military rank is lower than that of "Zhuxia Hou Cao", but even the title is a grade lower.

The military merits of the five good generals are not small, but the title and military position are only at a second-rate level. If Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren were the core cadres of Cao Cao when he raised the army because of their old qualifications, but Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen should not be as good as the five good generals, but their military titles are still higher than those of the five good generals.

This is the biggest knot and contradiction between the generals with foreign surnames and the generals of the clan, so Xu Huang thought about it carefully, and he was also extremely frightened. Although Cao Cao can be regarded as a master who knows people and is good at his duties, whether he will give up the interests of the clan to speak for the generals with foreign surnames, Xu Huang really doesn't dare to bet.

Xu Huang pondered for a long time, shook his head and said slowly: "Zijun, you and I have been partners for a long time, and I know you better. It's a pity that you came here late at night and have become a deserter from the army. At this point, no matter how justified you are, I can't save you. Do you know that deserters on the battlefield should be killed! ”

Wang Ping couldn't imagine that Xu Huang would say such a thing, and instantly understood Xu Huang's state of mind, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to die in the hands of Gongming than to be humiliated by the Cao clan." Then he drew his saber and offered it, saying, "This sword has been with me for many years, and it has cut off the heads of countless enemies." Now Wang Ping is a deserter, and he can no longer repay the general's kindness, so please take my head to set an example. ”

Xu Huang grabbed Wang Ping's saber, but he couldn't cut it alive. endured and endured, and finally threw the knife into the ground and said: "Your knife has also saved my life!" Let's go! There is also a war horse outside the tent, let you take it yourself, go to the mountains and rivers, don't turn back. ”

Wang Ping bowed and left again with tears in his eyes, and when he came out of the tent, he couldn't help but turn around and kneel down to kowtow to Xu Huang. Tears flashed in Xu Huang's eyes, and he said with hatred: "Zijun! Let's go! ”

Wang Ping took the war horse and walked out of the camp gate in a trance, with resentment in his heart, and he didn't know the direction, so he let the war horse do whatever he wanted. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have been studying military books for many years. However, the world is so big, there is no place for oneself, where can there be a face to return to his hometown in Hedong! Parents asked, how should they talk?

The sky gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and it was already dark before dawn. Wang Ping's crotch dismounted and trotted all the way, and the fierce horse stumbled on the front hoof, Wang Ping couldn't sit on the saddle bridge, turned over and rolled to the ground. There were hooks and lassoes all around, dragging Wang Ping down horizontally and tying him firmly. Wang Ping still wanted to struggle, a black cloth bag was put on his head, and he smashed a few punches, Wang Ping knew that he was captured, and now he couldn't move, so he simply gave up resistance.

Wang Ping was dragged into the woods by the soldiers to be detained, and reported to the general on duty, saying that he had captured a Cao Jun spy. The general was holding a torch, and when he saw that Wang Ping was wearing Cao Jun's uniform, he ordered someone to take off Wang Ping's hood, and said coldly and majestically: "Look at you, a Cao Jun soldier, dare to break into Hefei City at night?" ”

Wang Ping was shocked, could it be that his horse had been outside the city of Hefei, no wonder it was captured. glanced at the general's military uniform, but it was not the color of the Qinglong military uniform. At the moment, he was not afraid to say: "I am a general anyway, how can you be humiliated by your little Qinglong officer?" ”

The Qinglong general said strangely: "You are still a general? Then he joked: "That little one, may I ask, what is the general's surname, and what is the title?" Why did he personally come to the front line to die alone? The soldiers next to him all bared their teeth and sneered, completely taking Wang Ping's words as a joke.

Wang Ping originally had the heart of death, and immediately said with his heart horizontal: "Wait a minute, listen up!" I am Xu Huang, Xu Gongming's deputy general, Wang Ping, and Wang Zijun! Since you have been captured by your Blue Dragon Army, please see your Lord and die. ”

The general had never heard of Wang Ping's name at all, so he snorted and said, "How can our General Zilong have time to see you?" If you want to live, tell me about Cao Jun's arrangement, and if you talk well, I will spare your dog's life. ”

Wang Ping said in a sullen voice: "Dog head! Don't! There's just death. ”

The general saw that Wang Ping was very hard, and thought for a while: "Seeing that you are still a gentleman, I don't embarrass you." My Qinglong Army has never killed soldiers, as long as you promise not to return to the Cao Army to serve, I will release you now and give you the travel expenses. ”

In a word, Wang Ping was confused, thinking that there was such a good thing, but he didn't know that this was the policy formulated by Chen Long. However, one sentence touched Wang Ping's heart again, and he said hatefully: "I am a deserter, how can I have the face to return to serve in Cao Jun!" ”

One sentence aroused the general's interest, and Wen Yan said: "Wang Ping, since you are a general, why are you a deserter again?" However, since you promised not to return to serve in Cao Jun, then run for your life. With that, he took out a sawtooth dagger to cut the binding, and ordered someone to mix Wang Ping up.

Wang Ping didn't expect it to end hastily like this, and refused to move his steps in confusion, so he asked, "Just ...... Let me go like this? The general nodded, remembered something, took out a few money from his chest and said, "I almost forgot, this is the fare, go home!" Be a good citizen, wait for my Qinglong Army to wipe out the bandits in the world, and give you a home and a happy home! ”

Where was Wang Ping willing to take the money, his face gradually turned red, and his hands trembled. I have long heard that Chen Long, the lord of the Qinglong Army, governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, the people of Jingzhou live and work in peace and contentment, and the displaced people can also be self-sufficient, and they never kill innocents indiscriminately in war, and there is no massacre of the Cao family's army. Unexpectedly, today's mistakes made him feel the policy of the Qinglong Army, Wang Ping sighed in his heart, and said deeply: "This little brother, can you see the great name, the grace of life, I need to remember it for the rest of my life." ”

The general shook his head and said nothing, only stuffed the money into Wang Ping's hand, and a soldier next to him smiled: "This is our regiment commander Chen Ying." Wang Ping arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Chen Ying...... Head. As he spoke, he stuffed the money back and said, "Although the Green Dragon Army does not kill the soldiers, if the soldiers want to join the Green Dragon Army, I don't know if they are willing to accept it?" ”

Wang Ping was also quite helpless when asked this question, in fact, the generals were often spurned, and it was difficult to gain the trust of the new lord, and it often ended miserably. However, the road was facing the sky, and each walked to one side, Wang Ping's tentative question also made Chen Yingxi frown and said: "Only I am also a general of Guiyang, but the lord treats me like a relative and trusts me." ”

Wang Ping saw Chen Yingxi smiling, knowing that he was living happily, and he must have said nothing in his mouth. He made up his mind in his heart and said, "Commander Chen, the prince is willing to surrender." Please take me to General Zilong immediately, I have an important military report! ”
