Chapter Twenty-Three: The Famous General of the Yue Country, Hua Qi's Life
Early in the morning, Wan Yanzhi knocked on the door of Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi.
Wei Ziheng, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Lord Wan Yanzhi, I don't know if you came here in person today, why did you do it?" ”
Wan Yanzhi seemed to be a little nervous on his face, and he said in a hurried tone: "Two sons, the alliance leader has an invitation over there." I hope you can go. ”
"What's the matter? We are still needed. Sun Qi, holding Qi Hong in his hand, stood aside, quietly looking at Wan Yanzhi.
Wan Yanzhi said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Now the situation of Wu Meng, you are looking at it, although there was some misunderstanding before, but I believe that the two of you will definitely be able to help Wu Meng." After all, Wu Meng needs you now. ”
It's really thick-skinned and can say anything, and the guests who have only been doing it for a few days have the right to ask to do things for you? Sun Qi turned his head with a smile on his face and didn't comment any more.
Wei Ziheng saw the meaning of these words, it was obvious that this was a request for him, it was love to help, and it was duty not to help. As for whether to help or not? Wei Ziheng, who didn't have a definite answer in his heart, helped him look at Wan Yanzhi's sincere eyes, and still agreed verbally.
"Let's go, then please lead the way." Wei Ziheng secretly gave his senior brother a look and acted at the opportunity.
It was the same familiar little courtyard, next to the ruins of the council chamber, which had now been swept away, leaving only a bumpy stone staircase.
Looking at the broken stone steps, Wei Ziheng couldn't help but feel palpitations.
Looking at the interior of this small courtyard, it seems that some of the elders have just left, and the tea on the small table next to it is still steaming. The three principals of the Wu League, each doing their own thing, seemed to be a three-legged pair. Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to see that the degree of mutual suspicion within the Wu League is even more serious than they imagined.
"Meet all the seniors of the Wu League." Wei Ziheng, first of all, said when he entered the door. Sun Qi on the side also echoed beside him.
This time is different from the past, Ertian, who has always spoken very little, spoke first this time: "Two, I apologize to you on behalf of Wu League, regarding the suspicion that you are my Wu League's traitor, I say that it is purely made up by those elders, and you don't have to take it to heart." ”
When Wei Ziheng heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "The body is not afraid of shadows, we don't care about this kind of thing in the first place." ”
Ji Jianyong's expression on the side seemed to be a little dignified: "Let's do it first!" I invite you two here today to hear how you, as a guest of the Wu League, think of the current Wu League? ”
At this moment, Taihe looked up at Ji Jianyong, his expression revealed some indescribable distrust, seeing this detail, Wei Ziheng couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, could it be said that the current contradiction has intensified to this extent?
Wei Ziheng paused and said, "Alliance Leader, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. An outsider to judge the master's house is in itself an immoral thing. ”
"It doesn't matter. You say. ”
"But I don't know much about Wu Meng, so I can't make up my mind. Lord Haihan, the Lord of the Alliance. Wei Ziheng sternly rejected such a seemingly dangerous thing.
Taihe also took a step forward, looked at Wei Ziheng very seriously and said, "I heard that under the teaching of Mr. Sun Chi, you are familiar with all kinds of military books, I don't know if this matter is true. ”
"Yes, I know a thing or two about the art of war." Wei Ziheng looked at it, and the three people in front of him felt more and more that something was wrong. His senior brother simply stepped aside, drank tea very leisurely, and kept silent about what was going on.
After the three of them glanced at each other, then Ji Jianyong said, "Actually, the three of us don't trust those elders anymore. They interfered with it with their qualifications and prestige, and Yang Sheng a few days ago relapsed from the old wound and is still lying on the hospital bed. We could have had a good discussion with our own people, but now the Wu League does not allow us to do this, you are outsiders and have nothing to do with us, so I think we can share it with you, or ask for advice. I don't know, how about a little friend? ”
Wei Ziheng's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he said: "Then please ask the alliance leader to describe it, maybe I can use my knowledge to provide you with some advice, if you think it's just on paper, it's okay." ”
"You're too modest, and as far as we know, you're capable of more than that. If you can really help Wu Meng this time, Wu Meng will never forget this kindness. Ertian said mildly on the side.
Ji Jianyong changed his tone and began to pour out very seriously: "We got news this morning, yesterday, in the small towns and villages around Gusu City, there was a conflict between our Wu League's subordinates and the local Yue army. Our original outposts and eyeliner scattered around Gusu City were removed one by one, and although most of them fled, some of them were still killed on the spot by the Vietnamese army.
Not only that, but the Vietnamese army also cut the connection between Gusu City and the surrounding villages, preventing our people from escaping into Gusu City.
Among them, in a village north of Gusu City, our Wu League's people and the Vietnamese army clashed fiercely, and the two sides fought to the death, and finally the whole army was annihilated, and no one survived. The scale of the fighting in the more important villages in the south was not small.
Our more important men also died in yesterday's riot. In this regard, we held an important meeting overnight yesterday, but the result was embarrassing, and instead of coming up with a single method or countermeasure, we pointed the finger at some people. Today I want to ask you, after all, you are Yan who has read the book of soldiers, unlike us, who just use some of the experience of their predecessors. ”
Wei Ziheng, first of all, was shocked in front of him, and then he had to think about it, he secretly observed the three principals in front of him, and at the same time imagined in his brain the riot they described, and combined with the situation in Gusu City that he knew, he only heard him say slowly: "I don't know how Lord Tai, as one of the important managers in charge of military affairs in the Wu League, deal with such a situation?" Or rather, perceptions. ”
Tahoe, unabashedly, said neatly: "In the face of this situation, Wu Meng has already booked countermeasures before. Shrinking the crowd and expanding the scope of investigation, the internal team of this Wumeng Mountain Villa also immediately went out of the mountain, ready to respond at any time.
In addition to these passive defensive measures, if it were just my personal thoughts, I would think ......... Alas...... It's hard to say........."
Looking at Taihe, who has always been resolute and strong, he was a little slurred when he spoke at this time, Wei Ziheng had realized the seriousness of these things, how terrifying this was for Wu Meng: "Is there any other detailed content?" ”
Ertian added on the side: "For now, only Gusu City in the area of Wu Country has such a situation, and this seems to have been expected, attacking at the same time, meeting at the same time, and collecting troops at the same time. Oh, by the way, this time it means that people of an important military level of the Yue Kingdom came to Gusu City. He is a doctor who has always been strong in Yue Kingdom, Hua Qi's life! This person holds most of the military strength of the Yue country, and is almost equal to the current prime minister of the Yue country. ”
Hua Qi life!
This thunderous name suddenly made Wei Ziheng's eyes light up, Hua Qi's life, he was only more than 30 years old, and he reached the peak of the military power of the Yue State. Ancestors have served the Yue country for generations, until his father's generation followed Gou Jian, conquered the south and the north, and made great achievements, Hua Qi's life, and he lived up to expectations.
In the future, he participated in many wars against the Qi State and made great contributions, further consolidating the hegemony of Goujian, the king of Yue, and assisting Goujian, the king of Yue, to move the capital Langya from Huiji. When he went north to meet the alliance, Hua Qi ordered to intimidate the princes with his own might, and his prestige made the small countries of the Central Plains fearful. The state of Chu in the south, the state of Jin in the north, the state of Qin in the west, and the state of Qi in the east were also quite jealous of this name.
All kinds of rhetorical rhetoric and praise are not enough to describe this life full of legendary generals, his life is full of ruggedness, full of ups and downs, whether it is to follow the Yue King Goujian, or the Yue King Lu Ying, foreign wars are inseparable from the figure of this famous general, now, this can be said to be a legendary general with high merit, actually appeared in Gusu City, that presumably his personal guard army, the tiger wolf iron guard, also came to the vicinity of Gusu City.
The appearance of this person exerted great pressure on Wu Meng.
Wei Ziheng thought seriously for a while and said, "Lord of the Wu League, can you be sure that this mountain villa will be difficult to enter without special guidance?" ”
"Yes, even if someone finds out, the exact location can only send a very small number of people like the Black Tiger Gang to enter the mountain villa with the size of a large army, which is completely impossible." Ji Jianyong, yes, replied.
Wei Ziheng, suddenly remembered something? Said casually: "The terrain of Wu Meng is like a valley, the mountains in the east, west and north directions are extremely high, which is easy to defend, but the south direction is slightly shorter, and there is only one river passing through. ”
Taihe shook his head very decisively and said: "The river out of the valley is extremely dangerous, I have lived in Wumeng for so long, no one dares to take a boat across that river, let alone go upstream." What's more, after the river comes out of the mountain, the road is rugged and meandering, surrounded by mountains and cliffs. It is extremely difficult to follow the river into the valley. The only thing that can be explored is the cliffs. Unfortunately, the cliff can only be seen in the valley from a distance, but it can never be entered. ”
Cliff? Wei Ziheng suddenly remembered that when they followed two people like thieves into the alliance, they happened to see an extra protruding cliff top, thought about it carefully, and then said: "Hua Qiming, this guy came to Gusu City, obviously to launch an attack on the villa, presumably they should have other ways to enter the villa, maybe there will be other passages in the east, west and north directions." If not, then Hua Qi's life should not appear, maybe just like ten years ago, just sent one or two elite Yue troops, and there is no need for this famous general in the Central Plains, I have a hunch that the Yue army should have found another way to enter the valley. ”
Taihe, suddenly raised her head suddenly, she stared at Wei Ziheng deadly, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say a word. Ji Jianyong, who is the lord of the Wu League on the side, is also thinking carefully at this time, as for what he is thinking, I don't know, looking at his expression, it seems that he is in some trouble, Ertian, that is, sitting quietly on the side, as if he is thinking, as if he is also doing nothing.
At this time, Sun Qi, who was drinking tea leisurely, suddenly seemed to think of something, and he blurted out: "Wait a minute, aren't there many dark rivers under this small group of mountains?" Didn't the Black Tiger Gang use this method to steal the treasure of your Wu Kingdom, I think there might be ...... around here."
