Chapter 118: Deeds Revealed
Wu Zhen didn't dare to hide it, so he had to reply: "Before the expedition, General Zhao didn't believe it either. Later, it was reported that the 300,000 Xiongnu army attacked Jiayuguan, and the old general Zhao and the king of Jin believed it. ”
"The terrain of Jiayuguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't say 300,000, it is 500,000, and you may not be able to knock on the door!"
Wu Zhen saw that Mrs. Zhao's words were full of anger, and her voice involuntarily lowered, "That's the truth, so King Jin and General Zhao decided to give it a go and destroy this Xiongnu army." ”
"After the army was opened, the defenders of Jiayuguan sent people to ask for help, Jiayuguan was lost only in the evening, the old general divided half of the troops to the king of Jin, and the king of Jin led the troops to support Jiayuguan."
"Once Jiayuguan is lost, not only will the country be opened, but Dunhuang County will also fall into a heavy siege, and it is reasonable for the King of Jin to go to support." Mrs. Zhao's anger gradually calmed down, and she listened carefully to whether there were any flaws in the arrangement.
Wu Zhen continued: "Old General Zhao still has 20,000 military horses in his hands at this time, and he has no chance of winning against 20,000 Hun cavalry, so he wants to retreat to Yumen Pass. Unexpectedly, the Huns cut off the retreat, and General Qu Di's army was trapped in the ghost land and could not come to the rescue. ”
"With General Zhao's strategy, even if 20,000 infantry fight 20,000 cavalry, the whole army may not be wiped out!" Regarding the result of Zhao Zhen's death on the battlefield, Mrs. Zhao still couldn't accept it.
"The intelligence is wrong, the Huns have far more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. The more we fight the enemy, the more soldiers there are, and it is estimated that the total number of Hun soldiers and horses is no less than 50,000! 20,000 infantry, surrounded by 50,000 cavalry, can only be slaughtered! ”
As he spoke, Wu Zhen's tears rained down, "General Zhao was unwilling to leave his brothers, so he led everyone to fight bloodily, and finally rushed back to Yumen Pass, and the number was less than three thousand. General Zhao was also shot in the chest by an arrow, and finally... Eventually..."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhen couldn't help crying, the dignified seven-foot man never shed a single tear on the bloody battlefield, but at this time, recalling the battlefield situation, he could no longer suppress the grief in his heart.
"A good boy sheds blood without tears, crying and crying, what does it look like!" Mrs. Zhao scolded softly, and then murmured, "Could it be that it is the will of heaven that the husband died on the battlefield?" It's just, it's just that there are so many things, why is it so coincidental? ”
Listening to the conversation between the two below, Zheng Liuyi secretly admired on the roof, this Mrs. Zhao must have been an iron lady who didn't let her eyebrows go, and the unhappiness that the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion had brought him before was suddenly swept away.
As Mrs. Zhao said, King Jin galloped to Jiayuguan, Qu Di was trapped in Ma Mitu, and scouts spying on the unknown military situation, each of which seemed to be a coincidence, but so many coincidences came together and were not good for the same person at the same time, it was not a coincidence.
It's as if there's a big invisible hand at work!
Zheng Liuyi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this big hand must be the King of Jin, and to do this, it is necessary to cooperate with the inside and the outside. Then there is only one possibility, the King of Jin and the Huns secretly communicate with each other!
It was meaningless to listen to it any longer, Zheng Liuyi made a retreat gesture towards Wushuang, and the two walked along the ridge of the roof, reached the edge of the gable, jumped down gently, and landed silently.
The two of them were about to leave, but they didn't want the two guards of the Zhao Mansion to turn the corner and come to them.
Wushuang's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but get nervous, she hadn't encountered this situation since she had followed Zheng Liuyi to practice martial arts.
"One by one, stunned!" After Zheng Liuyi confessed in Wushuang's ear, he flew forward and slashed at the back of the neck of one of the guards, who fell limply before he could speak.
Zheng Liuyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the guard's body, preventing him from falling to the ground and making a sound.
Wushuang reacted extremely quickly, followed Zheng Liuyi's example, and also slashed at the back of a guard's neck with a palm, and the guard fell to the ground with a pop.
This was the first time Wushuang had actually fought with someone, and when he saw that person being put down by his own move, he was so excited that he forgot to reach out to help, so that the guard fell to the ground and made a sound.
"Who's there?" Two more guards walked out and rushed towards Zheng Liuyi and Wushuang.
"Matchless, go!" Zheng Liuyi led Wushuang and quickly ran to the bottom of the wall.
Seeing the two black shadows quickly moving towards the wall, the guards knew that they couldn't catch up, so they immediately opened their voices and shouted: "Oh no, there are assassins, hurry up and catch the assassins!" ”
Immediately, three or four figures rushed towards the main house, Zheng Liuyi looked back, and immediately felt that something was wrong, judging from the figure of these people, they were definitely masters.
He didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately pulled Wushuang to jump onto the wall and turned over.
Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, he can only go around in a circle, and he can only return to Kanglu Fang after he is left to track down. Zheng Liuyi smiled bitterly at Wushuang: "Daughter-in-law, how about we play hide and seek with them?" ”
Wushuang naturally understood what Zheng Liuyi meant, and said as he ran: "Further north is the Imperial City, where the security is heavy, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to hide." ”
"Okay, let's go to East City, there is no one there at this hour." Zheng Liuyi and Wushuang turned eastward, galloping all the way, always feeling that there were two closely following behind him.
Although these two figures can't catch up, they can't get rid of it for a while. is worthy of being a lieutenant in charge of the three armies, and there are indeed many capable people under him.
In the middle of the East Market is a garden, and in the middle of the East Market is a huge pavilion for merchants to stop and rest.
Zheng Liuyi found that Wushuang's palms were already sweating, and knew that she was nervous, and it seemed that she still needed to be tempered. He let go of Wushuang's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the pavilion and rest for a while." ”
Wushuang wondered: "Wouldn't it be difficult to get out of being caught up by them?" ”
"If you want to get rid of them completely, it is estimated that it will take at least an hour, too tiring."
Not long after the two of them sat down, two figures galloped in, one in front of the other, blocking the two exits of the pavilion.
Zheng Liuyi took a closer look, and it turned out that one was the housekeeper, and the other was the deputy general Wu Zhen who he saw in the main house.
So he whispered in Wushuang's ear: "Although that butler's light skills are slightly better, his martial arts are weaker, so I'll leave it to you!" ”
Wushuang didn't answer, nodded and got up and walked towards the housekeeper. When he came to the housekeeper, he put on a lazy shirt and waited for the housekeeper to make a move.
The housekeeper Zhao Ping shouted: "What is the reason for the bold thief to break into the Taiwei Mansion late at night!" ”
Wushuang was on guard, still not speaking, afraid that the other party would hear that she was a female voice and leave a clue for the other party to look for.
Zheng Liuyi was not idle here, and while walking towards Wu Zhen, he paid attention to Wushuang's movements, and was deeply satisfied with Wushuang's performance: This daughter-in-law is clever enough!
When Wu Zhen saw that Zheng Liuyi had arrived, he didn't talk nonsense, and punched Zheng Liuyi in the chest.
In the end, he has experienced the baptism of the battlefield, this person shoots cleanly, vigorously and quickly, and the fist wind is whirring, if ordinary people are hit by this punch, they will either die or be disabled.
