Chapter 139, Battle of Xi'an 2
Since that night a few months ago, after the Qin army was attacked by He Renlong's men and horses, Zhang Yi's brain turned fast, although he couldn't fight, but he didn't run slowly. When the raid began, he was not with King Qin and other generals, but hid alone, writing a letter to Wu Xinlan, the army was in chaos, he looked around for a while, and felt that it was not good, the Qin army had been scattered, fighting separately, and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable.
In his previous life, Zhang Yi used the trick of self-preservation the best. Thinking that he deceived the state of Chu back then, he insisted on cutting off six hundred miles of land and turning it into six miles of land, and the king of Chu hated him so much that he put forward a condition that he would exchange the land in Qianzhong for Zhang Yi. King Qin couldn't bear it, but Zhang Yi went with confidence and successfully saved his life.
How could such a character die in the chaos of the army?
So when Mr. Zhang Yi saw that the Qin army was not good, he immediately rode a horse, he wanted to find the king of Qin and others, and he also saw them, but at this time, a team of officers and soldiers rushed over, between him and the king of Qin and others, and rushed straight towards him.
Zhang Yi had no choice but to turn the horse's head and leave.
The team of officers and soldiers chased closely, but fortunately, Zhang Yi was fast, ran dozens of miles, and finally threw the pursuers away.
Just when Zhang Yi thought he had escaped, unfortunately, he ran into Lu Xiangsheng's men. After Lu Xiangsheng defeated Li Kang and them, he also chased and killed the Qin army everywhere, and just as a group of officers and soldiers bumped into Zhang Yi head-on, they saw Zhang Yi riding a horse, like a civil official, so they rushed up, ripped Zhang Yi off the horse, and tied him up.
Zhang Yi hurriedly defended, saying that he was not a thief, but just a scholar who went to Luonan to visit relatives. The officer headed by him was a hundred households, a fine person, and searched Zhang Yi's body, only a little bit of broken silver, and there seemed to be nothing to suspect, but from the horse that Zhang Yi was riding, he found something suspicious.
In the chaos of the army, Zhang Yi only cared about fleeing for his life, and did not find that an arrow hit his saddle and was stuck in it.
What's worse is that this arrow was shot by the official army.
Baihu pulled out the arrow, shook it in front of Zhang Yi's eyes, and sneered: "Since you are a scholar, why did the official army shoot you?" Come on, take away. ”
In this way, Zhang Yi was brought to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng had never seen Zhang Yi, and after listening to the report of the hundred households, he also understood that the scholar in front of him must be a figure among the thieves, and it seemed that he was not an ordinary soldier, so he personally interrogated.
Zhang Yi is a well-known hero who doesn't suffer immediate losses, and he doesn't need to be tortured at all, so he shouted a confession and told him about his life experience.
Lu Xiangsheng read poetry and books, and naturally knew who Zhang Yi was, at this time, when he heard this, he was confused, and he couldn't help but laugh, this guy in front of him was either crazy or nerd, he was actually pretending to be Zhang Yi more than a thousand years ago, but after laughing for a while, he stopped laughing, because he felt that this person who called himself Zhang Yi of the Warring States Period did not seem to be crazy, nor stupid, as if he was telling the truth.
Could it be that Qin Shi Huang was really resurrected? Could it be that his Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju were really characters from more than a thousand years ago?
Lu Xiangsheng felt that if he believed these words, then he would be really crazy. But no matter how you ask, Zhang Yi also said the same thing, and Zhang Yi has a few treasures about the events of more than a thousand years ago, many of which are not at all in the history books, or are different from the records in the history books.
This made Lu Xiangsheng unable to make up his mind, so he decided that he would neither let go, nor kill this Mr. "Zhang Yi", let alone report it to the court, and detain him first.
He thought about it very thoroughly, if he reported to the court, Zhang Yi would definitely die, if he was really the resurrected Zhang Yi, killing him like this, the loss would be too great, if it was fake, he would have to make a big joke, so the best way is not to let others know.
So Zhang Yi was taken up, and after a while, he returned to Taiyuan with Lu Xiangsheng, so no matter how much the Qin army searched, they couldn't find him. Moreover, Zhang Yi was detained, and he couldn't hear any news from the outside world, as if he was isolated from the world.
Lu Xiangsheng was very polite to Zhang Yi, and the two often chatted, and Lu Xiangsheng felt more and more that this "Zhang Yi" might really be Zhang Yi. His eloquence, insight, and often humor are impressive.
On this day, Lu Xiangsheng invited him to come, and Zhang Yi didn't care, because Lu Xiangsheng often invited him to come over to chat, and every time he was escorted by two personal soldiers.
Zhang Yi was taken off his hood, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng, he arched his hand and said with a smile: "My lord is free again?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and let the two pro-soldiers out, leaving only the two of them in the house. Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the seat, Zhang Yi was not polite, sat down with a grin, and poured himself a cup of tea. Lu Xiangsheng said: "I invited Mr. to come this time, because I want to hear what Mr. means." ”
Zhang Yi said: "It's a military situation." ”
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned: "How did Mr. guess?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "I heard that there is a holy decree coming today, although I don't know what to say, but it must be for the purpose of suppressing thieves." Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "Yes, today's Shengshang Longen, promoted me to the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the prime minister of the military affairs of the provinces, the burden of this thief has fallen on my shoulders." Zhang Yi said: "My lord invited me here, but I don't know what to ask." ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "I don't hide it from Mr., at present, there are rampant thieves in the Central Plains and the Northwest, and there are many people, but I have no good generals in my hands, and the few generals who can fight are in Shaanxi, which is not under my jurisdiction, and I can't mobilize strong generals such as Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu." My men and horses alone are valiant, but they are few in number, less than a tenth of them compared to the thieves. So I invited my husband here to borrow a pair of discerning eyes to see who there are who have the style of a good general, and can be of great use. Mr. used to be in the Qin army and was hostile to our official army, so Mr.'s opinion must be very pertinent, and I hope Mr. will not hesitate to give advice. ”
His idea is very practical, because to evaluate a person, the most accurate information can be obtained from the person's enemies.
Zhang Yi did not answer this question, but said slowly: "These days, I have also vaguely heard some wars in the Central Plains. Among the thieves, the strongest person is none other than Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who is with Li Zicheng, one of these two is brave, the other is resourceful, and they cooperate with each other to fight, which is very powerful. The adults are mainly worried about the two of them. ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "Mr. is right, among the thieves, there are several of the most powerful, in addition to these two, there are also the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng, Ge Li He Yilong, Lao Hui Ma Shouying and others, there are tens of thousands of horses under his subordinates, there are many outlaws, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, as long as these few people can be eliminated, the world will be stable." A few days ago, there was a good news in Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were defeated by Hong Chengchou under the city of Xi'an, and their forces were greatly damaged. ”
Zhang Yi listened, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that the officers and soldiers in Henan have not practiced fighting for a long time, and among those officers, there are no particularly brave ones, but there is another person in Shaanxi, who can be of great use." ”
Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "I said that several famous generals in Shaanxi are under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou, and at present, Lord Hong's Shaanxi is not peaceful, and I can't transfer them if I need them." ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "This person is not a famous general, as long as the adult writes a letter and asks the emperor for this person, he will definitely be approved." Because at this time, this person is still just a small person. ”
Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed: "Who is Mr. talking about?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "This person's name is Sun Chuanting, and he was only a county magistrate last year, but his military talent is not under Hong Chengchou." ”
Lu Xiangsheng frowned and thought for a while: "Sun Chuanting, I seem to have heard of this name, he seems to be just a politician, and his official position is not high. ”
Zhang Yi said: "It is precisely because the official position is not high that it is easy to be transferred, and the emperor and the ministers will not say anything, in their opinion, this is just a small transfer." ”
Lu Xiangsheng blinked: "How does Mr. value this person?" ”
