Chapter 55: The Age of Everyone Being a Famous General
There is nothing wrong with questioning, but as a general who leads the troops on the march, he only knows obedience and is not good at thinking according to the changes of the times, which seems a little pedantic.
But generals are also soldiers, and soldiers also have it their duty to obey orders.
All Wei Kai needed now was the obedience of his generals. After all, all the stages, Wei Kai had already planned it when he led the troops out of Chen Cang on his own.
Brainstorming means having more people, and having more people means having a lot of ideas. But for Chen Cang, who was already poor in material and military strength, a variety of ideas were not good ideas, and what was needed now was to accumulate all the strength and punch out again.
Therefore, if there is any objection, for Wei Kai's entire army, it is equivalent to self-collapse without a fight.
But fortunately, the generals of the Qin army all understand a truth, the Qin army is headed by Wei Kai, and Wei Kai is the highest commander of Chen Cang. This is also the confidence of Wei Kai to dare to lay a net of heaven and earth like this, and prepare to calm the entire Chen Cang Realm in one fell swoop.
Shushan.
The envoy returned from a mission, and now he was anxious, at the gate of a delicate courtyard, waiting for the summons of the people in the courtyard.
After a while, I got a report from the gate guard, and a masked man walked out of the courtyard. I saw that he was tall, wrapped in thick black clothes, and when he came to the door, he said to the delusion at the door with a loud voice: "You, are you the arrogant leader of the mercenary four-member group?" ”
"Meet the adults, the villains are", after hearing in vain, he quickly buried his head deep in the ground and replied in a deep voice. After all, this is not a place where a small mercenary leader can be presumptuous.
The masked man, seeing that he was kneeling respectfully on the ground at this time, nodded and said, "Well, it's also a character."
"The villain doesn't dare to be, he doesn't dare to be".
Looking at the delusional posture and being more respectful, the man didn't know whether he was happy or felt that the delusion was so interesting, but his originally serious tone suddenly chuckled lightly and said, "My master, I am interested in rewarding you with a bowl of rice to eat, I wonder if the arrogant master is interested?" ”。
The vain who had been saying respectful words fell silent in an instant. After a long time, he whispered, "If the adult commands, the villain has done everything." I don't know what the adults promised before? ”。
When the masked man heard this, his face instantly became gloomy, his master appreciated the food, and no one dared to refuse? Ben was going to teach the delirium in front of him a lesson, but then he thought of his master's praise for the delirium, so he put away the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, we always count when we talk. After all, this is an opportunity that you have put your life in exchange for your life."
When the delusion kneeling on the ground heard this, his heart suddenly sank. Of course, delusion knew that this was his eldest brother's life for their brother's livelihood.
After all, Chang Ke committed suicide in front of delusion, and the scene before the eldest brother's death is still clearly remembered. Delusion also knew that his eldest brother was also forced to death by the people in this small courtyard. It was only because of the request of the eldest brother Chang before his death that he was willing to be driven by the people of this courtyard.
When the words fell, the masked man glanced at the delusion on the ground, and saw that he didn't react at all, and suddenly said with disdain in his heart, he really deserved to be a mercenary who licked blood at the tip of a knife, and his eldest brother died tragically in front of him, but he could still look as usual.
So he suddenly became impatient in his heart, threw out the bamboo blocks that had been prepared, turned to leave, and left a sentence: "When the master of Chang was alive, all the things he wanted were here."
After a clang, he immediately picked up the bamboo block on the ground, and saw the word "free" engraved on the small bamboo block, and his heart suddenly ached. This is the Tianxiang Pavilion death-free card that his eldest brother still misses before he died.
Tianxiang Pavilion, this is just a name spread by mercenaries, in fact, it is a slave trade market. Those who have a free plate will be able to redeem whoever they need from the goods under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Now that he has obtained the death-free card, it means that he can fulfill the last wish of his eldest brother.
After all, the profession of mercenary did not exist from the beginning, and it was originally a commoner in the duty of the countries, or a declining nobleman. Because they have certain martial arts, or talents, in the confrontation with the slave catchers, and cater to the needs of slave owners, they are a type of people who are differentiated.
The last thing these people who have been living in the dark all year round needs is affection. But people don't have any feelings from the beginning, and people who don't have any concerns about the world don't exist at all.
Unfortunately, Chang, the eldest brother of the famous four-person mercenary group, was taken to the sore spot by others. What's even more terrifying is that the people behind this curtain are not bandits who are mixed in the road, but the powerful Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Little master, little master. The messenger sent to Changchuan has returned", Cui'er shouted hurriedly with a letter in her hand.
Looking at the panting Cui'er, Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting next to the desk and looking at the bamboo slips on the table, put down the bamboo slips in her hand and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious?" ”。
When Cui'er heard this, she hurriedly held up the letter in her hand, as if to invite merit: "Cui'er has been waiting for them at the door for the past few days, but let Cui'er wait."
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, she smiled, reached out and pinched Cui'er's delicate little nose in front of her and said, "Yes, yes, my Cui'er is the most well-behaved." When Cui'er on the side heard it, she was immediately overjoyed.
After opening the letter brought back by the messenger, Aunt Gongsun glanced at it a few times, then put the letter written by Wei Kai on the desk, then pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
After Cui'er on the side saw it, she slowly came over, looked at the letters spread out on the desk with small eyes, and saw a sentence written on the small piece of parchment: "You wait to suck blood beasts, hurt my Qin people, destroy my Qin city, and invade the border of my Qin country."
Wang'er and the others immediately tied themselves out of the forest, and asked to surrender on their knees, don't blame me Qin Jun for being unpredictable."
Cui'er saw that the smiling face just now suddenly disappeared, her brows furrowed, she gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "This Wei Kai is really too deceitful, the little master is so beautiful, he actually said that the little master is a blood-sucking beast."
Seeing Cui'er scolding in a low voice on the side, Aunt Gongsun didn't speak, just smiled.
It turned out that the four brothers were summoned by the Shang League in Shu to attack Changchuan of the Qin State, intending to plunder the people and property of Chencang County and give Wei Kai a dismount.
Later, after Aunt Gongsun learned about it, she used another identity behind the scenes of the Shang League, ready to witness the demise of Wei Kai with her own eyes, in order to repay the hatred in her heart at that time.
Therefore, he used the power in his hand, that is, Tianxiang Pavilion, to blackmail the mercenary four-member group, intending to wait for Wei Kai to arrive in Changchuan, and then break through the county seat in one fell swoop and annihilate Wei Kai's department.
But Aunt Gongsun's plan was completely different from the order they received from the Shang Alliance.
Because the Shang Alliance was originally due to a message from the family in Chencang County, knowing that Wei Kai was preparing to crusade against the Pingnan region, so he was ready to quickly plunder Changchuan to deter Wei Kai, who was about to move.
Therefore, Chang Cai stayed under the county seat of Changchuan for five days, undecided, and did not capture the county seat of Changchuan, which was already crumbling.
After thinking about it again, Chang felt that he couldn't even affect his brothers, after all, Tianxiang Pavilion was not easy to mess with, and the Shang Alliance was not something that a small mercenary could fool, but he didn't expect Wei Kai, who arrived in time, to be defeated.
Cui'er looked at Aunt Gongsun who was smiling at this time next to the case, and was immediately puzzled, shook Aunt Gongsun's jade arm and said with a little anger: "Little master, Cui'er is confused by you." The dog thief is clearly scolding the little master, why is the little master still laughing."
Aunt Gongsun looked at Cui'er, who was coquettish, and smiled: "Do you know who the dog thief in your mouth is?" ”。
Touching her little head, Cui'er looked at the smiling faces of her group, and said with a stalk on her neck: "Isn't he just a favored minister who is lucky enough to be appreciated by the new monarch?" Not yet a lowly commoner".
Looking at Cui'er who was unconvinced on the side, Aunt Gongsun smiled and said, "Cui'er, Wei Kai's person is not a simple civilian. He turned out to be a prince of the Wei State, and because he offended the Prince of Wei, he was later assassinated alone before he was exiled to the Qin State."
"Ah, he is actually still a prince of the Wei State", Cui'er heard this, and instantly opened her mouth.
"Otherwise, we would have been able to break the Hexi Wei army in the Battle of Shaoliang, and now we will break tens of thousands of troops in Changchuan with 8,000 troops," Gongsun said with a smile. Of course, Aunt Gongsun also learned about this from the information collected by Tianxiang Pavilion just now.
You must know that Wei Kai's debauchery in the court at the beginning is difficult for people to associate with the children of the Gong clan who have strict family education.
Moreover, after Wei Kai is the prince of Wei, he is not the prince of Qin, and it is difficult for others to know his noble identity in the closed Qin State, not to mention that Wei Kai has always concealed his identity and walked the world as Zhao Qi.
"Little master, that...", hearing that Wei Kai was so talented, Cui'er couldn't help but worry about her little master.
Looking at Cui'er with a worried face, Aunt Gongsun instantly smiled and said, "Cui'er, can you see when your little master has lost?" ”。
"Well, the little master is the most powerful person in Cui'er's heart." When Cui'er heard this, the original worry in her heart dissipated in an instant. Over the years, Cui'er has seen countless people who are rumored to be very powerful, and later they all fell into the hands of the little master, especially those so-called young talents who admired the beauty of the little master, who were completely played by the little master.
The characters who can take charge of Tianxiang Pavilion with one hand are certainly not ordinary people. Under the secular etiquette system of male superiority and inferiority of women, women can hold a certain amount of power, which is even more precious, especially the intrigue and the slave trade, if there is no certain talent, it will be eaten by others in an instant, and there will be no bones left.
"The little lord...".
was thinking about how to deal with Wei Kai's Gongsun Aunt, when he was interrupted by Cui'er's voice next to him, and was about to get angry, but looking worried, Cui'er was timid and ready to ask him, so he softened his heart and said, "I have to wait...".
Just as he was about to explain, a mink's voice came from outside the pavilion: "Master, the person who followed has returned."
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, she immediately got up and said quickly: "Let him come in." How to deal with the menacing Wei Kai depends on the information conveyed by the person who told him, Aunt Gongsun thought in her heart at this time.
After a while, I saw a short figure wearing a mask completely wrapped in clothes, and knelt down in front of the first bead curtain in the building and said, "Master, the villain and the dog have come to restore their lives."
"How's it going?".
A thick voice came from the back room, and Ah Gou left and said, "When the messenger we sent returned, Wei Kai specially gave a cart of belongings.
According to the villain's courageous analysis, Wei Kai's gift of property is fake, and he wants to borrow bulky property to leave traces in the jungle, so that the Qin army can find our nest in the forest. ”
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, a pair of beautiful eyebrows on her forehead suddenly rose, and she said in a deep voice: "Property? Can it be disposed of? ”。
"Master, we've already made arrangements. Following the trail of goods, in the end we can only find and attack the fake camp we have set up for a long time, and will not expose our traces."
"Well, well, you guys did a good job. Does the Qin army have someone to follow? ”。
"Back to the master, the Qin army did send someone to follow him. And the stalkers were very cunning, and deceived the several guard posts we had set up.
Fortunately, it was discovered by the secret sentry we planted in advance. Now the cat is taking them around in circles in the mountains."
"Good, good. You all have a lot of rewards", when Aunt Gongsun heard it at this time, her heart suddenly disappeared.
After the reported dog left, Cui'er on the side suddenly scolded: "Why is that person so ungrateful? The little lord did not care about their fault, and returned the things to them."
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, she picked up the wine on the table, took a sip and said with a smile: "Your little master is hated by countless people to eat his flesh and pull his skin."
When Cui'er heard this, she instantly poured a glass of wine for Aunt Gongsun, and then scolded: "It's all those people who don't know what to do."
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, she shook her head, smiled and did not speak. She has never cared about the so-called reputation, she is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and deeply understands that power is not useful for anything. Even between father and son, husband and wife will turn against each other for some interests.
And the person who is still scolding in Cui'er's mouth is delusional.
After all, in Cui'er's opinion, if they did not complete the task entrusted by their little master, the little master did not blame them, but still paid them the reward. Now not only is he not grateful, but he is trying to attract the Qin army, this is the wolf's heart and dog's lungs, and the pig and dog are not as good.
Looking at Cui'er, who was still scolding angrily, as if she was helping herself to vent her anger, Aunt Gongsun smiled and handed over a cup of tea and said, "What if this is all arranged by your little master?" ”
When Cui'er, who was drinking tea, heard this, her two little eyes suddenly bulged, and she coughed ahem...
Looking at Cui'er, who was choking on tea and coughing constantly, Aunt Gongsun glanced at her, patted her back and said, "When do you see when your little master has suffered?" ”。
Glancing at Cui'er's puzzled eyes, Aunt Gongsun sighed and said slowly: "A person who was forced to death by us to kill his eldest brother, if he goes to meet our enemy, what do you say he will do?" ”。
When Cui'er heard this, she touched her head, thought about it and didn't speak.
"You know how to play every day. It will definitely communicate with our enemy, unite with the Qin army, and attack us from inside and outside, fool", Gongsun Auntie looked at Cui'er's stupid appearance and tapped her head with her jade finger.
"Huh? The little lord is still ......, and we will arrest him quickly."
"Do you think that even if he reconciles with the Qin army, he can defeat us", Aunt Gongsun rolled her eyes, hating iron and not making steel.
"When the messenger goes out, he will return, so he can follow the messenger to find our nest in the forest, this is common sense.
If the Qin army does not believe in the envoy, it means that the Qin army does not believe that the place where the envoy returned is our hiding place.
But now that the Qin army has sent scouts to follow him, it means that Wei Kai has mostly believed what the envoy said.
Otherwise, if we don't believe it, we won't know that the results of our investigation are unreliable, and we won't take the trouble to send such a fierce scout to track us, even if we want to confuse us, we just need to put on a show.
In addition, the dispatch of scouts also shows that the situation of the Qin army in Changchuan is very critical. After all, if it is consumed here for a long time, not only will there be a problem of grain and grass, but Wei Kai's Chencang base camp will be chaotic.
You think that if we were Wei Kai, now we urgently need a decisive battle with the thieves hiding in the forest, annihilate us in one fell swoop, and quell the rebellion in Changchuan. We can wait, Wei Kai can't wait", without waiting for Cui'er to continue speaking, Aunt Gongsun said.
Looking at Cui'er with adoring eyes, Aunt Gongsun continued: "Then how to annihilate us? ”
"So Wei Kai is ready to unite with the traitor and lead us out of the forest, wanting to defeat our army again and annihilate us in Changchuan County again", as soon as the words fell, Cui'er immediately replied.
When Aunt Gongsun heard this, she said: "But now that the plan to follow the envoy obviously cannot succeed, then Wei Kai can only count on the traitor."
In addition, I see that Wei Kai has always acted cautiously and cautiously, and now he actually pins the victory and defeat on an envoy who has not yet clarified the truth or falsehood, which also shows that the situation in Changchuan is very critical."
