Chapter 511: Old Words Are Bad
The current situation is not all based on luck, but Zhou Dewei's strategy that has already been laid out. This man is known for his cunning, but no one knows his ability to reach the heavens and the earth. It's just rumors in the rivers and lakes and temples that this person can understand the art of gods and ghosts, so he can be invincible.
Chow never denied it, nor did he admit it. However, when Li Cunmiao, the lord of the Later Tang Dynasty, personally led a large army to go on an expedition, he witnessed Zhou Dewei's use of troops like a god, and couldn't help but sigh, "If you have a far town, you can protect the country's borders." ”
Since then, Zhou Dewei's name has been famous all over the world, and in that battle, Zhou Dewei did not make amazing moves, but spent a little more thought on every detail than others. This series of chain reactions won the battle for Zhou Dewei and made him.
And in the present, it is not what you see is the truth. You have to peel off the cocoon with your heart. In what Zhou Dewei said when he came, Fu Xi's brother Fu roared and was a variable. This person has not yet reached a conclusion, but Zhou Dewei has not received a letter from Luoyang, so he wants to try it with Fu Xi's hand.
And the thoughts of the other three lieutenants were also seen by Zhou Dewei and remembered in his heart. coincided with the beginning of winter, and I felt that the climate changed suddenly, and on the other hand, I frankly said that people's hearts are unpredictable. It's just that the speaker has the intention and the listener has the intention, and the matter becomes the majority.
When he came to Hezhong Mansion, he didn't see a person or a thing along the way, so Zhou Dewei was vigilant. At present, there are people in troubled times, and there is no one in this short distance of 100 miles, which is really a bit strange. What made him even more determined to attack the city was that Fu Xi's hesitation and the closed door of Hezhong Mansion were gone.
Fu Xi hesitated because he didn't know his brother's attitude, but after all, his brother would not fight against each other. However, the Hezhong Mansion did not hold a lamp at the beginning, and it already had a sense of deterrence. And then all kinds of things, even if it is a bitter plan arranged by Fu Roar, he will never give up so well.
In addition, Fu Xi's heart is unstable and wavering. The other three lieutenants were bent on staying out of the situation and making the situation more and more complicated.
The corners of Zhou Dewei's mouth rose slightly and slowly converged his smile, he was very glad that he had been hiding and paying attention to the movements of a few people in the army since he left Luoyang, so that he could see really useful things. If it is high up at the beginning and everyone flatters, then everything can only be illusory.
Regardless of Li Cunmiao's intention to eradicate the people of Mingyue Tower, even if this is not the case, this deep-rooted observation is also essential.
Zhou Dewei looked at the battle in front of him and raised the horsewhip in his hand. At this time he was behind a multitude of crossbowmen and infantry, and the cavalry had come to the best place to charge, waiting for his order.
But the next scene that happened surprised him. The originally closed gates of the city burst open, and hundreds of light horsemen poured out of them, charging towards the vanguard. Zhou Dewei didn't expect that the city defense garrison in Hezhong Fuzhong was so big, and he didn't want to shrink back when he saw that he was invincible, and he wanted to go to Huangquan with the invaders.
This ridiculous idea made Zhou Dewei dumbfounded, how is such a reckless behavior different from those mountain apes? What's more, those mountain apes still know how to pull and delay, this group of absurd soldiers who are idle all day long, empty and full of blood, there is only one way to die.
Zhou Dewei put the raised whip under his command, and the cavalry who had already been calling the formation rushed from the soldiers to meet the enemy's light cavalry in three ways, and instantly scattered the formation. No one waved a big flag on the city wall, and the general with a white scarf on his head had long since disappeared.
Zhou Dewei rode forward, not in a hurry or slowly. The whip in his hand was rolled into a semicircle and gently swung on the horse's hips. The horse under the crotch neighed softly, and seemed to be extremely disdainful of this action, but he did not dare to make another mistake, so he could only express his dissatisfaction.
Zhou Dewei's side was full of flesh and blood, and he just drew his knife and slashed left and right to clean up the mess.
What Fu Xi never expected was that he thought he would die here, but found that everything was under Zhou Dewei's control. And this person's city is deep and his intentions are meticulous, just above his brother's roar. Before Fu Xi turned around, Zhou Dewei's voice had already floated in, "Fight quickly, enter the city to rest, and set out to attack Longshou County at noon tomorrow." ”
This is a short sentence that contains too much information. After Zhou Dewei finished speaking, he couldn't help yawning, tilted his head to dodge an arrow, raised his hand and raised his knife to hit a frenzied Hezhong Mansion soldier with a fatal blow. The next moment, the soldier pierced several Pu knives behind his back, but he still looked at Zhou Dewei viciously, wanting to pull him into purgatory together.
Zhou Dewei seemed to be a little tired of this fierce and vicious look, raised his whip and fell heavily, and galloped forward quickly after the fierce horse neighed. Zhou Dewei looked at the direction of the city gate, opened the bow left and right with the Pu knife in his hand, and the defenders of Hezhong Mansion who were directly killed lost their armor.
At this time, these captains with their own ghosts understood that Zhou Dewei's name was not in vain. In addition to being calm-headed, shrewd and calculating, and treacherous, this person also has a good martial arts, which is also the basis for ensuring that he will stand tall in the army in troubled times and leave his name for eternity.
But when Zhou Dewei rushed to the city gate, the soldiers thought that everything was settled. Unexpectedly, the general wearing a white scarf stood at the city gate with a hammer in both hands, and shouted, "Thief, take your life!" ”
Zhou Dewei rushed forward, not afraid at all. The Pu knife in his hand moved against the wind, making a hunting sound. I only heard the sound of Jin Ge colliding, and I saw the general's head fly up and the hammer fell to the ground. It wasn't until Zhou Dewei rode by that he slowly knelt on the ground, blood gushing out of his neck, but he lost his life in a flash.
Just when everyone was stunned, Zhou Dewei's roar came, like a bell, "Half an hour, a quick battle." Zhou is one step ahead, waiting for you in the city. ”
These words were like a spur and an encouragement, which lifted the hearts of all the soldiers present. And this sound was like a life-urging spell, drawing a bloody stop to the lives of the defenders of Hezhong Mansion. Outside the door was dripping with blood, but inside the door was silent.
Zhou Dewei tightened the reins after entering the city gate for about five feet, turned over and dismounted. Walking on the bluestone pavement that has been faintly covered with hoarfrost under your feet, you can examine everything on both sides.
Hezhong Mansion is not well-known among the counties in Tuzhou in the Later Tang Dynasty, and it has always been a subsidiary of Longshou County, and it has always relied on its snort. Because the place where Hezhongfu is located is gentle, it has no military value, and since the Tang Dynasty, it is only a place on the way.
However, due to the fact that Longshou County was unveiled once the rod was revealed, it was remembered by the lord of the Later Tang Dynasty and wanted to use this place to contain Longshou County. Unexpectedly, the city lord died before he left the school, which is really embarrassing.
Through the dim candle flame of the dilapidated lanterns on the main road in the city, Zhou Dewei saw a pair of frightened and helpless eyes behind the dilapidated wooden door. Although he was the only one leading the horse, an invisible deterrent was still terrifying. This is the posture of the victor, this is the momentum of trampling the ants under their feet.
The people inside the door clung to the deadbolt, and the young children were already hazy, but they did not dare to make a sound. The man in charge of the house held the firewood knife tightly in his hand, although he knew that it would not help, but he still wanted to fight when the door was broken.
This is the norm, I don't know where it started, and where it will be. When the city is broken, the leader will order the slaughter of the city, even if they are all people of the Later Tang Dynasty, it is no exception. This is to alleviate internal friction, save food and grass, and also to warn those in the city who still refuse to give in.
But Zhou Dewei didn't do it, he just led the horse forward. No one knew what was going on in his mind. The lights and shadows were building, and only his figure was dragged by the candle flame for a long time, from the first step to the end of the bluestone slab......
The sound of horses' hooves rattling on the long bluestone paved street had an eerie fit with the silence at this time, as if it had not broken but blended in. Zhou Dewei stood still in a mansion, the surrounding lights were so faint that the lights suddenly went out after he walked by, he didn't delve into it, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then bolted the horse to the stone pier at the door, glanced at the plaque directly above the mansion, and walked in quickly.
This plaque is not unusual, it is nothing more than the surname of the city lord here or other marginal arguments, but this plaque is written with the four words of the world in ancient small seals, which makes Zhou Dewei a little surprised. Why is there such a plaque in a city mansion in this small river mansion? Could it be that there is some secret hidden here?
It's just that the mansion is empty at the moment, and Zhou Dewei didn't take the plaque to heart, and walked straight in. Pushing open the door of the inner hall, there is no feeling of dust, but the cleaning here is quite clean, thinking that there were still people living in it yesterday, and today it has become an empty house.
Zhou Dewei took out the fire fold from his arms, and slowly lit it along the lamp, but he sighed unconsciously: "It's actually a nine-son serial lamp?" ”
These nine sons are not elegant, but only used by people with special habits. It is said that when this lamp is lit, when it is nightfall, you will see the appearance of the person who thinks day and night from the illusion, which is very strange. Later, it was revealed that the nine lamps were filled with a hallucinogenic herb to have this effect.
But whether it's true or not, lighting this lamp is just for the sake of a thought, so that you can let go completely. Or let your uneasy heart get a moment of peace.
Zhou Dewei sat upright, not the main seat, but the left side. This is the only place in the city where candles are lit, and I think those lieutenants will not go wrong. Thinking of this, Zhou Dewei pulled off the water bladder on his side, raised his head and poured a mouthful, the coldness of this mouthful spread from his throat all the way to his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The nerves that had not been relaxed for a long time relaxed at this moment, and he only wanted this short moment to cast another monument for the next journey. He didn't remember where his hometown was, but he knew that until the world was peaceful, any place would be his hometown.
He once had such a dream, when the nine abysses are one, he will find a landscape, and the sun rises and rests, which is his greatest yearning in this life. But he is imprisoned in the rolling torrent of war at the moment, and he can't extricate himself, maybe what awaits him is to be stationed in Mobei, like Gu Yanxun, and dedicate his life. He buried this person deep in his heart and never forgot it......
