Looking at those arrogant, happy, and dejected captives, his heart was just cold.

When the battlefield was cleaned, they continued to advance, the soldiers of the Dingzhu camp were accustomed to this kind of life at the moment, the unknown ahead, the danger ahead, and the suffering ahead did not stop them from moving forward.

The sound of footsteps is slowly resounding, the walking of tens of thousands of troops, is so undisguised, one by one urgent documents, like snowflakes to the Jingshi of the Great Jing Dynasty passed to the past, in the Wentu Pavilion, Emperor Jiachong, his eyes were blood-red looking at the envelopes, he still hasn't figured out what is going on, the once impregnable line of defense has been turned upside down by such a small group of thieves.

And they also felt desperate, as well as Wang Zike and Cao Shinian, when they received the holy decree of the imperial court, the first thought, the idea was a burst of helplessness, although they knew that rescuing King Liang was just a prescription to quench their thirst, but at that time, they really had no reason to refuse, but what they didn't expect was that this group of Zi Chi general thieves was so powerful, and now they have threatened the safety of the Jingshi.

Yang Chengchao felt even more frightened, he seemed to see a trace of murderous aura on the face of the eunuch who came to announce the decree, when he used to read the holy decree, he often showed such an expression, but now it was his turn to experience such a feeling.

The same feeling as them, there is also Yuan Yunmo, in the holy decree, the request of naming and naming names, Yuan Yunmo led the elite Qinwang of Henan Province, and all military and political affairs in Henan Province are attributed to the Dingguo Gong Cao Qianlie moderation, which is tantamount to depriving Yuan Yunmo of the post of Henan governor in disguise, how can this not make me feel depressed for a while.

Of course, he can know that he is different from others, he is Yang Yongchang's first assistant, and compared with Yang Chengchao, the emperor's slave, he has more protection.

It's just that he wants to exterminate General Chi's thieves, which makes him distressed, his family knows his own affairs, and there are not many elite troops in Henan Province that can be called elite now, and most of them were pulled away by Cao Tianlie and Chen Yunding, and in his hands, there are only more than 1,000 elites.

But I heard that there are at least 30,000 thieves in General Chi, and then thinking about the number of the Beijing army camp at this moment, there are only 15,000, how can he not feel a burst of panic in his heart.

Moreover, this is not counted, the most important thing is that he knows that if he wins the thief, the benefits will not belong to him, and the holy decree says, everything will be, and the king can control himself.

This is also the original intention of Emperor Jiachong, although Wang Zike often fails, but for the chief soldiers of the Beijing army battalion, he still has a natural trust, this extermination of the thief, or handed over to Wang Zike is more reliable.

At this moment, a few of them, that is, in the camp of the Beijing army camp, Wang Zike, Cao Shinian, Yuan Yunmo, Yang Chengchao, the four of them, surrounded the table, looking at the holy decree above, they were all a little helpless.

However, it was Wang Zike who spoke, there was no way, this holy decree asked him to command the army, to make meritorious service for his crimes, this is trust, but also pressure, Wang Zike deeply understands the heaviness of this, if he can really exterminate the Red General and the thieves, then everything is easy to say, and it is not even ruled out that he has the possibility of rising again, but if it is really another failure, waiting for Wang Zike's matter, there is only one word, death. Yang Chengchao wanted to speak, but he also knew that he didn't know anything about the military, and now this matter is related to his own net worth and life, so he simply kept silent.

Wang Zike said: "Everyone, at this moment, General Chi's department, the thief Jingshi, the emperor is angry, I don't want to say anything else, I will call everyone here today, there is no other meaning, no matter how uncomfortable we have been, but now we are all grasshoppers on the same line, you still work together to do your best." ”

As soon as his words fell, Cao Shinian also stood up, his current face, there is not much arrogant and domineering look, in these days, it is unprecedented for him these years, the failure he has encountered, just yesterday, he has received a letter from his uncle Dingguo Gong Cao Tianlie, in the letter, Dingguo Gong did not have much anger, but the disappointment in it made Cao Shinian, feel the love of Dingguo Gong, but this care made him deeply feel a bitterness, He's going to fight for the honor of the Dingguo Mansion.

Therefore, Cao Shinian's voice was hoarse, and he said: "Yes, what Lord Wang said is that I did offend a lot some time ago, I hope you will forgive me." After speaking, he actually bowed so much, this time, not only Wang Zike and Yang Chengchao, but even Yuan Yunmo felt a burst of surprise, when did this little marquis of Cao Shinian be so humble, when did he have such understanding of other people's words.

However, Cao Shinian didn't care about other people's feelings, at this moment, he had completely put down the little reserve he had left, what happened to Xungui, if Xungui failed, then the rest would not be brilliant, but shameful.

He said: "I saved a person, his name is Cao Xuanwang, it is in the Xiade tribe, he has lived in General Zaichi's headquarters for a long time, we can ask him for some information." ”

"Huh? Iron-faced selfless Cao Xuanwang? When Cao Shinian finished saying this, the governor of Henan, Yuan Yunmo, shouted loudly, but he didn't expect that this person was still a relative of Dingguo Gong.

But it's no wonder, who would have thought that, of course, the Dingguo Mansion has a great cause, and it has gone through a hundred years of reproduction, but it is normal to have such a relative, and now Cao Xuanwang is nowhere to return, and he is officially under the Dingguo Mansion.

Several of them, after hearing Cao Shinian's words, also nodded to each other, signaling people to bring that person over, at this time, there were already outside heralds to pass this order, and after a while, someone came over, it was Cao Xuanwang. Since that night, after Cao Qingrou found Liu Qing, Liu Qing released Cao Xuanwang, of course, Cao Qingrou still followed Liu Qing, of course, what happened that night, Cao Xuanwang didn't ask, Cao Qingrou didn't say, Cao Xuanwang at this moment can really be called careless.

There is a law in the Dajing Dynasty, those who lose their land, take official positions, and go to prison, but he is still a clansman of Dingguo Gong, so he did not go to prison, but this official position can't be done, and more Qingliu people think that he betrayed his daughter and was wiped out, at this moment, he can only wear the most ordinary Confucian clothes, and came to the big tent to meet everyone, but his temperament is more calm.

Some people suddenly encounter great difficulties and are depressed, and some people are because they are used as a sharpening blade to make themselves grow up more and more, and Cao Xuanwang is such a person, he is now, where everything is, is in this meritorious service.

The eldest husband can't have the world's achievements, how can he be called a hero.

After coming in, Cao Xuanwang made an equal etiquette to several people, and Wang Zike said in a deep voice: "I don't know ...... Lord Cao" Speaking of this, he realized that he was called the wrong name, why, the current Cao Xuanwang is white.

So he hurriedly changed his words, and he said, "I don't know what Mr. Cao's opinion is." ”

Cao Xuanwang glanced at a few of them, and then said: "General Red thieves are different from ordinary thieves, their internal organization is very tight, General Chi, whose real name is Liu Qing, used to be just a small thief, but when the thieves rebelled. When he said this, he paused, and his eyes drifted to the two people over there, Wang Zike and Yang Chengchao, these two people were the key figures who single-handedly promoted the surrender of the thieves.

These two people also know their own affairs, so when they see Cao Xuanwang's eyes looking at them, they are a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of thing is the most critical reason for everyone's predicament at the moment.

Of course, this is just a short beginning, everyone is now a grasshopper on the same line, and no one can leave anyone, so the effect of Cao Xuanwang's eyes at this moment is just embarrassing.

After a pause, Cao Xuanwang watched their embarrassment disappear before he continued: "However, this thief took advantage of the opportunity of the twenty homeless people to rebel and began their almost miraculous rise, they first took the city of Huaiqing Mansion with ten horsemen. ”

"Ten horsemen?" Hearing this number, the first person to shout was Yuan Yunmo, the governor of Henan, and it was no wonder that he was surprised, after all, ten horsemen captured a mansion city, so that everyone sounded like a mythical story, in a mansion city, how could there be more than a hundred people in the third class of officials, let alone others.

However, the other few people all looked unfazed, which is no wonder, they have known the news for a long time, but at that time no one thought that this was a coincidence, but who would have thought that this thief would be stronger.

Then, Cao Xuanwang continued: "This mansion was captured by thieves there, and then they looted in Huaiqing Mansion City, and it became this huge disaster in one fell swoop." ”

In fact, at the beginning of the rise of the camp, it is undeniable that there was a deliberate or unaware connivance of the princes here, so it was able to grow so rapidly, but now they look at it, but they find that the little thief who used to be has become an existence that they need to look up to at this moment, in the bottom of their hearts, there is still a little unnatural, after all, this is only less than three months, but things have changed so significantly.

Seeing their silence, King Cao Xuan was still carrying out his words, and he said: "The red general Liu Qing is the leader of the Dinglu camp and the military advisor of the Dinglu camp, but he is a non-scholar, Du Chenggeng. ”

Hearing this name, Yuan Yunmo still knew, and he said: "It's the crazy Du Chenggeng, the Du Chenggeng who insinuated at my Chao Taizu, the former scholar Du Chenggeng?" Yuan Yunmo's several question marks in a row illustrate his mood at the moment, after all, the incident back then was very big, and a list was so rectified, so that the hearts of the world's scholars were embarrassed, and many people still launched a petition activity, hoping that Emperor Jiachong Zhou Dingding could take back his fate, and Yuan Yunmo was one of those at that time.

However, Emperor Jiachong did not give in, and directly removed Du Chenggeng from Beijing, of course, if it were not for the petition of these scholars, it is still difficult to say whether Du Chenggeng could save his life.

So, here, when he heard the name suddenly, no wonder Yuan Yunmo was so surprised, and the others were a little strange, isn't this name a bit special? They looked at Yuan Yunmo instead.

Yuan Yunmo sighed and said, "This matter still needs to be talked about by Lord Cao, but it is a past incident back then. ”

Cao Xuanwang took over the conversation and said: "This Du Chenggeng was also a good example back then, but it was only because he hated the emperor that he was degraded." ”

Yang Chengchao also said: "Our family remembered it, it's him, the scholar with thief eyebrows." ”

It seems that Du Chenggeng's appearance is really not flattering, and Du Chenggeng is so spread in the world, at the beginning, this is a strange talk, but when it comes to the back, this name makes the world change color.

Wang Zike and Cao Shinian glanced at each other, and they both saw a little shock, if this thief had a scholar to join, then the harm caused would rise by geometric numbers, this was a theorem for thousands of years, so they were very surprised.

Cao Xuanwang's words did not stop, and said: "Other people, such as Sun Dadou, Wang Heng, Zheng Yiling, and others, are also heroic figures for a while, but they dare not be underestimated. ”

Wang Zike now, finally has a general understanding of the camp, so now he finally knows what kind of behemoth he is about to face, and he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart, he said: "Sir, we, how should we be good, the thieves are powerful, but the emperor's order cannot be violated, I wait for the princes, at this time, there is only one death to repay the country." ”

This is said to have a bit of unusual heroism in it, not like Wang Zike's usual style, but after all, he is a general who once won the three armies, and in the face of despair, the untouched blood in his heart is easily stimulated by these people.

Therefore, when he finished saying this, the hall was quiet for a while, and Cao Xuanwang said emotionally: "Yes, now we have nothing to lose, only by learning what Wang Zike said, making a desperate bet, and using the determination to die, can we have that glimmer of life, and only in this way can we live in this world." ”

Cao Shinian also said: "General Chi and I will never die. ”

Yang Chengchao is a little worse, after all, he is a eunuch, and in terms of courage, he is a little bit less powerful than a few of them, so if he says it, he is a person who is a little hysterical and crazy, and he is forced into a desperate situation.
