Chapter 30: Staying in Lushui

In the early morning, the grass next to the camp was still shining with crystal clear dewdrops, and the soldiers were still asleep because of yesterday's battle.

"Woo woo woo", the horn sounded, and it was time to get up. Soon after the horn sounded, there was a drum sound of "dong dong dong", and the drum in front of Wei Kai's tent was beaten, and the soldiers who heard the sound knew that the general was going to beat the drum and gather the generals.

When the generals of each battalion heard the sound of drums, they immediately dressed up and ran to the tent to meet Wei Kai.

"See the General!" In Wei Kaishuai's tent, all the generals paid homage together.

"The generals are exempt. I have called you here today for the sake of the aftermath of the war. In the early hours of this morning, I received a message from the flying pigeon that the county of Qike had been pacified, and that the rebellion in the southwest had ended. It's a pity that General Song and General Wang unfortunately died on the battlefield and couldn't hear the good news. I decree that the affairs of his battalion shall be taken over by his subordinate army Sima for the time being, and that His Majesty will decide after the squad returns to the court. ”

"No!" The next two stood up, answered in unison, and then stood back again.

"Just now, my messenger has set out to report his victory, and I believe that it will not be long before the garrison of the officials appointed by His Majesty and the counties will soon arrive. Until then, our army will continue to march to Yizhou County. To appease the people, collect the defeated troops, and rectify the defense, the burden on the generals is still very heavy! ”

"But by the orders of the general!"

"Good! Zhao Wutang, the general of Fenwei, led the Guiyi army to wait here for the officials of the imperial court and the defenders sent by His Majesty to take care of the prisoners. The rest of the generals, prepare the troops and horses, repair the day today, and set off tomorrow. ”

"Obey!"

When Mo Feng heard this order, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this Wei Kai just felt that the Guiyi Army was too tired and needed to be repaired, but he still understood something, and deliberately reduced the "number of appearances" of the Guiyi Army.

"General Zhao stays for a while, and the rest are scattered!"

"No!" The generals received the order and dispersed.

The two stayed in the camp and looked at each other for a long time, stunned and did not say a word.

Finally, Wei Kai couldn't help but break the embarrassing situation: "Brother Zhao thinks I acquiesced to Wu Cheng doing that? ”

"I thought it was true, but later, I figured it out! With your Wei Kai's temperament, you still do not do that kind of obscene and despicable thing. ”

"Brother Zhao is really smart!"

"Which one is smart, and I am behind the guidance of a master!"

"Master, who is it?" After Wei Kai finished speaking, he immediately patted his head, "Cough, look at my memory, how could I forget that your forward general is Mo Feng, the son of Mo Yan!" Mo Thorn Shi has been running Youzhou for many years, but he has never been suspicious of His Majesty, it can be described as a deep calculation, Mo Feng, as Mo Yan's son, of course, has also learned a little bit of his father's ability! ”

Zhao Wutang didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart: I have been friends with Mo Yan for many years, so of course I know who he is. But this Feng'er is even more mysterious, compared to his father, it can be said that it is even better. Especially in terms of looking at people, it is better than blue.

Seeing that Zhao Wutang was silent, Wei Kai thought that he had acquiesced, so he continued: "I wonder if Brother Zhao has any opinions on the arrangement I made just now?" I would like to take this opportunity to give the Guiyi Army a good rest. ”

"Very good. I've been fighting for many days, and I'm already exhausted, so it's time to rest. Besides, this meritorious promotion may be even more unfavorable to my return to the righteous army. ”

Hearing the words "meritorious promotion", Wei Kai was very surprised, could it be that this Mo Feng is so powerful that he can see through my intentions. It's just that when I heard the latter words, I wondered why it was even more unfavorable to the Guiyi Army!

Seeing Wei Kai's expression, Zhao Wutang immediately told Wei Kai what Mo Feng had said last night.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Wei Kai laughed, laughing at such helplessness, "One wrong step, one wrong step, I didn't expect my Wei Kai to do wrong at the beginning." Not only was it wrong, but it was also very stupid, and he was toyed with by Wu Cheng's turtle grandson in applause. ”

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Your intentions are good, and I know what you mean. It's just that we, the martial artists, only know how to 'value feelings and emphasize righteousness'. Unexpectedly, this is a weakness that can be exploited in the eyes of these ill-intentioned civil officials in Wu Cheng. ”

"Alas", as he spoke, Zhao Wutang couldn't help but sigh: "People like us should disappear, and they shouldn't show up here and make others unhappy." Therefore, you asked me to stay in Lushui instead of going to Yizhou County first, which was the best choice for me to return to the rebels. ”

"People like us", "others", hearing such a title, Wei Kai had to shake his head, it seems that Brother Zhao has lost confidence in the civil officials in the court.

Also, when the country was in crisis, these people didn't think about serving the country loyally, but also thought about how to eliminate dissidents, which naturally disappointed Brother Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, rest assured, your majesty is in charge for you!"

"Ling Tianmu? Hehe! Zhao Wutang sneered.

"Although Your Majesty has always listened to the words of those civil officials before, it has been much better since he arrived in Chengdu!" Seeing Zhao Wutang's disdain for Ling Tianmu, Wei Kai had no choice but to stand up and defend Ling Tianmu.

"That's it, you can think whatever you like! In this way, the last general will retire first! ”

"Brother Zhao, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

"Forgive, forgive what, you are not wrong, why do you need to forgive, be a good general, don't think too much about the rest. If the general has nothing else to do, I'll go first. ”

Looking at Zhao Wutang who walked out of the tent, Wei Kai knew very well in his heart that he still had a mustard in his heart. As the only two elite divisions of the Celestial Star Empire with their own military numbers, their 10,000 troops are all brave and good at fighting.

From Youzhou to Hanzhong, there were many vicious battles, which created such an army. But in this southwest, only three or four thousand people remained, and one general was lost. As you can imagine, this hurdle is not so easy to pass.

Wei Kai also walked out of the tent and looked at the sky outside, hoping in his heart, hoping that time would be able to heal the pain in Zhao Wutang's heart, and that his majesty would be able to make a fair ruling.

Returning to his tent, Zhao Wutang saw Mo Feng waiting for him in the tent.

"Uncle Zhao, you're back." Seeing Zhao Wutang coming back, Mo Feng greeted him.

"Presumably, the general kept you here to explain!"

"Yes, it's just that although I know that he is not wrong, I am still a little unhappy in my heart."

"This is normal, thousands of brothers in life and death are gone like this, if it were me, I would be like this."

"Just now he said he asked for my forgiveness. Actually, there is nothing to forgive or not forgive, everything is providential, and providence wants me to return to the righteous army to suffer this catastrophe! Moreover, there was an unfathomable chasm between me and him more than ten years ago, and no matter what, it might be the same as before. ”

"Is it about you running away in anger?"

"Yes, the first emperor died back then, and Ling Tianmu ascended the throne. At the beginning, we can still see the past. Soon, the Queen Mother died of illness, and he exposed his temperament. As a few of our brothers combined, we should go on our own rather than let him drive us away.

At that time, I also tested him. However, he only had loyalty to the country in his mind, and had no other thoughts, so I gave up taking him with me.

So, from then on, I knew that we weren't all the way and that he was too stupid. There is only one person he is loyal to, and that is the emperor. Whoever is the emperor of the Star Empire, as long as he sits in that seat, he will be loyal to that person.

If you are not a person all the way, it is impossible to come together, and you can't go together, so what's the point of talking about forgiveness or not. ”

"I see." Mo Feng couldn't imagine that there was such a relationship between Zhao Wutang and Wei Kai, no wonder Zhao Wutang always stayed away from Wei Kai.

"However, General Wei finally did a good thing this time, didn't he?"

Zhao Wutang nodded, indeed, although he just wanted them to repair here, but finally Wei Kai made a correct decision this time. Let the Guiyi Army stay here, although it will face those civilian officials at that time, but it is better than continuing to follow the army to show their faces. After all, settling down is a credit!

"What's the matter, you're here to wait for me just for this matter!"

"Uncle Zhao still understands me!" Mo Feng smiled, "I want to borrow a carrier pigeon from you." You know, carrier pigeon, the entire counterinsurgency army, apart from your side, is only on the side of the general and his lieutenant in Ke County. I can't go to the general to borrow it! ”

Listening to Mo Feng half-jokingly speaking, Zhao Wutang's mood also changed a little: "Why do you want carrier pigeons?" ”

"Well, let me sell it! When the time comes, Uncle Zhao, you will naturally know. ”

"You!" Zhao Wutang smiled a little helplessly, and said to the soldiers outside: "Come on, go and take General Mo to fetch the carrier pigeon!" ”

"No! Then Feng'er retired first! ”

"Go ahead!"

Coming out of Zhao Wutang's camp, Mo Feng's face immediately became ugly. Originally, he borrowed carrier pigeons to send a message to the forward battalion stationed in Dianchi, so that they could find Liu Gaozhi among the prisoners, and then bring Liu Gaozhi here. After all, they won't go to Dianchi for a while!

However, he just thought of something that should have been thought of yesterday through Liu Gaozhi, who was far away in Dianchi Lake, more precisely, people, that is-Dao Yan.

Something happened to Daoyan!

When he was still in Qiongdu, he asked Dao Yan to approach Wu Cheng, hoping to get some useful information from Wu Cheng. I thought that with Dao Yan's ability, it would be easy to do this. Zhu Di's first adviser, the "black-clothed prime minister", is not in vain.

If he succeeds in establishing a relationship with Wu Cheng, he will definitely come to the Lushui front line with him. Now, there is no one who sees him. Not only that, but he didn't even see the figures of the few personal soldiers he left behind.

This is even more able to prove that Dao Yan and the others are indeed in trouble.

Who would have thought that Wu Cheng, the second and fifth boy, was originally going to deal with Zhao Wutang and deal with the Guiyi Army. It is conceivable that a person like Wu Cheng, when a stranger comes to you to get close, he will definitely check his identity. Daoyan's identity is very easy to check, and you can find it out as soon as you check it. After all, he personally left him a few "witnesses".

Once you know who he is, it's easy to do. With Wu Cheng's means, anything can be done.

Anxious and distraught, Mo Feng was very anxious now. If something happens to Daoyan, then he doesn't regret dying! After all, it was he who told Dao Yan to get close to Wu Cheng, if there was no such thing, then he should take good care of his body in that rich merchant!

After getting the carrier pigeon, he didn't care about returning to the camp, so he asked the guard to take the carrier pigeon to Xiao Si. As for himself, he went to the general Wei Kai to see if he could get any news on his side.
