Chapter 245: The Talent of the Pillars, the Heart of the Tiger and the Wolf
Because those old camps were all guarded by Cao Wenzhao's people, Qin Chuan returned to Zhongjialing with hundreds of his subordinates and Li Dingguo to find Cao Wenzhao.
After listening to Qin Chuan's intention, Cao Wenzhao readily agreed, and called Cao Bianjiao and asked him to help Qin Chuan find someone.
Cao Bianjiao yawned and walked out of the tent, and when he heard that Qin Chuan was looking for someone, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked suspiciously, "Who is Brother Qin looking for?" ”
"Zhang Bingzhong's two sons, one is called Zhang Wenxiu, and the other is Zhang Nengqi."
Cao Bianjiao's eyes lit up: "Zhang Bingzhong's righteous son? ”
"There's still hope." Li Dingguo, who was on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Don't do that." Qin Chuan shook his head.
"He's my brother-in-law."
"Ahem."
Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said, "If I say that he is born with a backbone, do you believe it?" ”
"Don't believe it! A righteous brother will never betray his father-in-law. "Li Dingguo cut the railway.
"It is precisely because he will not betray Zhang Bingzhong that I can't accept him, it is not easy to discipline him if he accepts it, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not rebel in the future."
Li Dingguo opened his mouth, but he was speechless, but soon popped out again: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you?" ”
"Hahahaha."
Qin Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You are different from him." ”
"What about Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi?"
"They are not the same as Zhang Kewang, and besides, they are younger than you and easy to discipline."
Li Dingguo was speechless again, so he had to snort angrily, and suddenly bowed to Cao Wenzhao on the side and hugged his fists and said: "Under Li Dingguo, ask the general soldier to surround my brother's life, and Dingguo will never forget the grace of my lord." ”
Cao Wenzhao was originally watching the excitement from the side, but when he heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't worry, Cao never kills prisoners indiscriminately, but where the duty lies, your brother-in-law will definitely be escorted to Lu'an Mansion and let Lord Futai fall." ”
Li Dingguo lowered his head and thought about it, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord General Bing." ”
"Let's go find someone, find out quickly, and then go back to sleep." Cao Bianjiao, who was waiting on the side and yawning, said impatiently.
"There's Brother Laocao."
Qin Chuan patted Cao Bianjiao's shoulder with a smile, and after saying goodbye to Cao Wenzhao, he went to the place where the prisoners were held at the bottom of the mountain.
didn't go far, Cao Wenzhao suddenly asked in the back: "Brother Qin, how is Zhang Kewang?" ”
Qin Chuan turned his head and said with a smile: "The talent of the pillars, the heart of the tiger and wolf." ”
"Thank you, brother."
"Brother is polite."
……
There were more than 800 people left alive in the old camp of the Rogues, who were distinguished from the rest of the Rogues and were enclosed in the valley with thorny vines and horse-repellent horses, guarded by heavy soldiers in shifts.
The rogues lay on the ground, some asleep, others tossing and turning.
After Qin Chuan and the others arrived at their destination, Cao Bianjiao shouted at the group of rogues who were sleeping soundly: "Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Nengqi, come out." ”
The staggering rogues jumped up in fright, and then looked at each other, and didn't come back to their senses for a while.
"Zhang Wenxiu, Zhang Nengqi, come out." Cao Bianjiao shouted again.
The rogues inside still looked at each other.
There are indeed some half-sized people in this group of old camp people, but Cao Bianjiao doesn't know if the two little boys are dead, because they haven't had time to interrogate the prisoners, and they don't know who they have captured.
After seeing that no one responded, Li Dingguo was a little anxious, and opened his mouth to shout: "Third brother, fourth brother, are you in there?" ”
"Second brother?" There was finally a response from the crowd.
"It's the second son." The group of rogues also recognized Li Dingguo.
"Phew! He is just a treacherous person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is a second son, and the eight kings do not have a righteous son like him. ”
"Second brother, did you really demote the officers and soldiers?"
A half-sized man with dark skin and a sturdy body came out of the crowd and asked Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo's face was delighted: "Fourth brother, are you okay?" Where's your third brother? ”
"Let me ask you, did you really demote the officers and soldiers?"
"I ...... He is not an ordinary officer and soldier. ”
"Not ordinary officers and soldiers? Is he inlaid with gold? ”
"Fourth brother, he ......" Li Dingguo wanted to speak and stopped.
Qin Chuan on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, he always felt that he was scolding himself with that sentence.
It's like: You can't make your eggs gold?
"Humph! Let's go, I, Zhang Nengqi, don't have you as a brother. The dark-skinned half-grown man snorted coldly, then turned and walked back into the crowd.
Li Dingguo was anxious: "Fourth brother, listen to me......"
"There's not much to say."
Another teenager came out of the crowd, it was Zhang Kewang who went to attack Mengjiazhuang with Li Dingguo.
"Second brother, my father-in-law has severed the father-son relationship with you, and the brotherhood between us is over, so let's go."
Li Dingguo's body tensed tightly, gritted his teeth, but couldn't say a word. First Chinese Network
After half a sound, he asked gloomily, "What about the third brother?" Is he okay. ”
"The third child is gone."
"What's wrong with him?"
"I fell off my horse and broke my leg."
Li Dingguo's face changed, and he hurriedly looked at Qin Chuan for help.
When the two armies are engaged, the victorious side rarely treats the wounded soldiers of the losing side, and the wounded are waiting to die unless they can survive on their own.
If Zhang Wenxiu is not treated, he is likely to become lame in the future, and may even die of fever caused by his injuries.
Seeing Li Dingguo's eyes asking for help, Qin Chuan coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Go in and arrest people, and then carry Zhang Wenxiu back for treatment." ”
"Yes."
The red-clothed attendants beside him moved away from the horse, shouted "Death to those who resisted", and then rushed in like wolves.
"The master is here, if you want to kill it, you have to let the horse come!"
The swarthy and sturdy Zhang Nengqi walked out of the crowd with a golden knife, and was then carried out by the red-clothed attendant like a chicken.
Zhang Kewang next to him was just about to come over to save people, and two long knives hit his neck, one left and one right.
The red-clothed attendant soon found Zhang Wenxiu in the valley again and carried him out.
"By the way, and Feng Shuangli." Qin Chuan suddenly thought of another person, "Let's see if Feng Shuangli is inside, if not, torture a few more people." ”
"Yes."
The red-clothed attendant inside began to shout Feng Shuangli's name, and before they could torture the rogue, someone pushed Feng Shuangli, who was hiding behind the crowd, out.
Today's Feng Shuangli is not eye-catching, but he is an old camp rogue, who is a little braver than the Liukou and has been with Zhang Bingzhong for a little longer.
Historically, this guy was later accepted by Zhang Bingzhong as a righteous son, second only to the four generals in the Great Western Army, and later crowned the king, when Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was unwilling to go with Sun Kewang and switched to Li Dingguo, but in the end his subordinates rebelled and tied him up and sent him to Wu Sangui.
In addition to him, Bai Wenxuan was also accepted by Zhang Bingzhong as his righteous son, and he was also crowned king, but he still surrendered to the Qing army.
Anyone who descended to the Qing Dynasty in history, Qin Chuan didn't want it.
After Zhang Nengqi and the others were taken out, Qin Chuan had to look at them carefully.
I have to say that Zhang Bingzhong's vision is good, Zhang Nengqi looks like a charging material, he gave birth to a pair of leopard head and ring eyes at a young age, and after a few years, he will grow a beard, and he will come out majestic and fierce.
Zhang Wenxiu is diametrically opposed, although his figure has grown very tall, his body is very clean, his hair is neatly combed, his calves can be seen to be a little twisted, obviously broken, and his face is also very pale, after being put on the ground by the red-clothed attendant, he raised his head, looked at Li Dingguo, and then looked at Qin Chuan.
Li Dingguo shouted "third brother", then squatted down and looked at his broken leg with concern.
Zhang Wenxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Second brother, I'm already gone, let this adult give me a good time." ”
"Third brother, don't worry, Lord Qin will let someone cure you."
"Second brother, I don't blame you, but I'd rather die than join the officers and soldiers."
"Third Brother ......"
"Ahem."
At this time, Qin Chuan also squatted down and said with a smile: "From now on, you will change your surname back to Liu and call Liu Wenxiu." ”
Liu Wenxiu frowned: "How do you know that my real surname is Liu?" ”
"Hey, hey, I know a lot."
Qin Chuan deliberately sold a pass, then stood up and said to Zhang Nengqi on the side: "You also have to change your surname back to Ai, called Ai Nengqi." ”
"Humph!"
Ai Nengqi turned his head disdainfully, not bothering to pay attention to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn't mind, he only turned to Feng Shuangli, and found that there was nothing peculiar about the governor of the five armies of the Great Western Kingdom in history, he looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he saw Qin Chuan, he didn't speak, only lowered his head and was silent.
Qin Chuan couldn't see what was wrong, waved his hand and said: "Make a stretcher for Liu Wenxiu, carry it back to the border pass mountain to help him pick up his bones, put a splint on him to recuperate, and Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli will also be escorted back to take care of him." ”
"Yes."
"Brother Cao has worked hard."
Qin Chuan smiled and patted the shoulder of Cao Bianjiao, who was yawning on the side.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Cao Bianjiao waved his hand unmindfully.
Not long after, Cao Bianjiao went back to Zhongjialing to sleep, and Qin Chuan also led his people back to the border pass mountain with a few captives.
Qin Chuan didn't like Sun Kewang very much, although that person was Yunwen and Yunwu, he could fight and govern places, but he was too ambitious and narrow-minded, and he was too lazy to bother to discipline this kind of person.
As for whether Sun Kewang would be killed, he had no time to care.
In contrast, he likes Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi a lot.
Liu Wenxiu's talent may not be as good as Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, but he is gentle and polite, treats soldiers well, is fair, and abides by the law, and is also a rare talent.
In history, before he died, there was such a sentence in the note to Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty: "The minister has 160,000 yuan in cellar gold, which can be paid ......"
Before his death, he donated all the gold and silver treasures that he had followed Zhang Bingzhong around for decades, as well as the gold and silver treasures he had rewarded after the founding of the country, to Nanming as a military salary to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty.
Such a person, even if he is lame, Qin Chuan will use it.
As for Ai Nengqi, Qin Chuan didn't know much about him, only knew that this was a fierce general, and after Zhang Bingzhong died, Wang Zhaoling, the left prime minister of the Great Western Kingdom who instigated Zhang Bingzhong to kill in Sichuan, was killed by him.
If Li Dingguo is the commander of the army like Xu Da, then Ai Nengqi is the vanguard general who often meets the likes of spring.
This person will have to take some time to subdue slowly.
