Chapter 165: Betrayal or Loyalty
"There is a mission right now, and this palace needs your help! After the deed is completed, this palace will naturally reward you a lot, so that you can rise to prominence in the army! Chen Shubao saw that Zhang Dabao had taken the bait, so he came up with the purpose of seeing him this time.
"Although His Highness commands, Dabao will definitely go all out and swear to complete it!" Zhang Dabao said excitedly.
"Da Bao Ke has heard of Gao Changgong?" Chen Shubao asked in a low voice.
"The famous generals of Qi are long-standing, who doesn't know? However, it is a pity that Emperor Gao Wei of Qi did not trust him, so he put such a famous general in Xuzhou and appointed a rat like Wei Pohu as the commander of the army, and as a result, our army defeated 30,000 Qi troops in the battle of Shiliang City. Zhang Dabao said proudly, because he also participated in the Battle of Shiliang City at that time, although he was only responsible for guarding the materials of the base camp at that time, and did not directly fight with the Qi army, but remembering the spectacular and shocking scene at that time, he is still very excited.
"That's right! In the battle of Shiliang City, our army defeated the Qi army, and Xiao Yao was also sharp in this battle, being chased by 10,000 cavalry but still unharmed, and finally killed this cavalry! This also made the Qi country begin to notice the character of Xiao Yao, seeing that Xiao Yao had such courage at a young age, and he could also make an invincible weapon such as firearms, so as the commander of the Qi army, Gao Changgong was faster than him! And it just so happens that our enemy is also Xiao Yao! After Chen Shubao sneered, he didn't continue.
"What does Your Highness mean that we are going to join forces with Gao Changgong to deal with Xiao Yao? Your Highness, how can you be so hasty! Gao Changgong, he is a native of Qi! Zhang Dabao looked at Chen Shubao with a look of disbelief and said in surprise.
"What we have to deal with now is Xiao Yao, not our Da Chen! What does this have to do with the fact that he is from the Qi country! Chen Shubao's voice suddenly rose and said loudly, which frightened Zhang Dabao back to his senses.
"This, that, that now that the two countries are at war, we are joining forces to deal with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao is our general of Da Chen, the commander of the infantry battalion, this, isn't this a collaboration with the enemy and treason?" Zhang Dabao was still a little frightened, although he resented Xiao Yao and even wanted to leave the infantry battalion, but he never thought of killing Xiao Yao! Moreover, he was born in a family of famous generals, and he was instilled from the beginning to be loyal to the country and must not betray the country! Now he heard that he was going to join forces with Gao Changgong of Qi State to deal with Xiao Yao, and this kind of naked treason made him unable to accept it for a while!
"It's all we are dealing with, just Xiao Yao! We joined forces, just to kill Xiao Yao, and we would never do anything unfavorable to Da Chen! After solving Xiao Yao, he is still a famous general of Qi State, and you Zhang Dabao is still a lieutenant of Chen, even if everyone encounters them on the battlefield in the future, they can kill each other mercilessly and desperately! Where did this come from? Chen Shubao quibbled.
"But now during the war, as a soldier of Da Chen, he has contact with the Qi people, and the other party is Gao Changgong, a famous general of the Qi State, even if it is just to meet him, people can't help but suspect in the direction of collaborating with the enemy and treason! If the emperor knows about this, whether he cooperates with him or not, he will definitely be executed for colluding with foreign enemies and betraying the country! "Zhang Dabao's mind is quite clear, and he didn't fall for Chen Shubao so easily!
"So this thing has to be done in secret! Now there are only me and you in the Four Seasons Restaurant, and then with Gao Changgong, only the three of us know in this world! Whoever leaks it out, everyone will die! So you don't have to be afraid of being known at all! And now in this matter, do you think there is still room for negotiation? "Uncle Chen saw that the soft ones were not good, and he began to come to the hard ones.
"Your Highness think twice, joining forces with Qi people is a good idea! Although Xiao Yao is hated, he is our general after all, and his infantry battalion has all kinds of artillery and muskets, and is invincible on the battlefield, we just need to take away his official position and snatch his infantry battalion for our use, isn't it better? Why bother to join forces with Gao Changgong? Zhang Dabao struggled.
"If you can cure Xiao Yao's sin casually and take him down, will this palace still look for you? You look too much at this boss of yours! Not to mention that he has the support of King Xing behind him, and at least half of the ministers above the court are supporting him, and even his father has begun to pay attention to him now, so it is not easy to find a crime to remove him from his military position! In addition to the forces of the DPRK, don't forget that there is also a general trading house behind him! Rich and powerful, if you want to get rid of him in Jinling, it is impossible at all! And Xiao Yao is ruthless, treacherous and cunning, when you are calculating him, maybe he is also calculating you! So we had to borrow someone else's hand! And Gao Changgong also wants to get rid of Xiao Yao, we are just pushing the boat down the river and providing him with some information, so it can't be regarded as colluding with foreign enemies! Chen Shubao continued to instigate.
"But Xiao Yao is now in the barracks, heavily guarded, and there is usually a musket team of the infantry battalion to protect him, 10,000 cavalry can't kill him in the battle of Shiliang City that day, what ability does Gao Changgong have to get rid of Xiao Yao?" Zhang Dabao asked suspiciously.
"That's why we found you! With you by his side as an internal response, Xiao Yao will show his flaws sooner or later, and then let Gao Changgong give him a fatal blow! We'll have peace of mind! When the time comes, the palace will promote you to take over the infantry battalion, with this invincible army, you will not be invincible on the battlefield, and when the time comes, the palace will ascend the throne, and you will be crowned a general! After Uncle Chen forced Zhang Dabao, he began to lure.
"This..." Zhang Dabao fell into hesitation and entanglement when Zheng
"Don't this, this, this! I'll send someone to contact you then! Now you can still do it, but when it's time to do it, you have to get up for me! Chen Shubao threatened.
。。。。。。
In the third place where Chen's army broke through the outer city of Shouyang, Zhang Dabao, who had been taking care of his father in Jinling, received an order from Xiao Yao, asking him to immediately escort ammunition and supplies to Shouyang.
And Zhang Dabao also knew that the military situation could not be delayed, so he immediately organized a transport team, and after loading the materials prepared by Zu Yuan on the ship, he was ready to follow the grain transport team and set off for Shouyang!
Before leaving, Zhang Dabao specially said goodbye to his father Zhang Zhaoda, and the old general grabbed Zhang Dabao's hand and said with a relieved face: "Dabao, seeing that you are busy for the army now, my father is very pleased!" In the past, when you were in the Eastern Route Army, Xu Jingcheng let you behave in my face, causing you to never grow up! At that time, my father was going to lead troops south to quell the rebellion, so I didn't spur you to become a talent, and I was really worried that you would become a gentleman! ”
After Zhang Zhaoda coughed a few times, he continued: "But since you were transferred to the infantry battalion, although there are rumors outside that you were teased and tossed by that Xiao Yaozi, I still see your changes!" You also began to have the desire to make meritorious contributions to the country! Our Zhang family is full of loyalty, and the position of general is not hereditary, but by military merits! So you must show yourself well, and when you hear your performance in the battle with the Qi army, I know that your infantry battalion is indeed a division of tigers and wolves, and you are in it, even if you are only a soldier now, you will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future and become a famous general through the ages! ”
"Now that my father is seriously ill, you don't have to worry about me, I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and I have long looked down on life and death, even if you are still fighting outside and not sending me to the end, I have no regrets, as long as you make war achievements and come back as a general, you can smile for your father! Remember, as a child of the Zhang family, you must be loyal to the country, and you must not do anything to betray the country! Zhang Zhaoda grabbed Zhang Dabao's hand tightly and instructed.
"The child must follow his father's instructions, serve the country loyally, kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, become a general, and glorify our Zhang family!" Zhang Dabao said with tears in his eyes.
When, with a tangled face, Zhang Dabao boarded the cargo ship with his father's wishes, and left Jinling Wharf with the fleet, and at the same time, a team of more than 100 Rao also quietly boarded several other cargo ships, and then mixed into the fleet and left the wharf together.
