Chapter 138 Happiness and Happiness Recklessness and generosity
Seeing that the tall city wall of Youbeiping was in front of him, Zhang Yu, a former military captain, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three thousand soldiers and horses behind him were also listless, and the failure of this operation made everyone feel guilty, but they had such an errand again.
Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at the carriage of Lord Tingwei, the military order was difficult to disobey, the general asked them to escort the group of people from Tingwei's Mansion back first, from Yanmen Pass to here, just half a day's trip, but they had a stomach sulk.
These uncles are so difficult to serve! are all used to the hands of people in the capital, picking and choosing, and they are suspicious. Either they thought that the march speed was too fast, and they were struggling to follow, or they scolded the sergeants for squinting the eyes of the adults with the sand and dust raised by their horses, saying that they could not help the Huns, and they were running fast at this time. It's crooked along the way, so it's not annoying!
However, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it! No way, can't be provoked. Didn't you see that the body of the main general Wang Hui was still carrying in the back of the car!
Now that it's finally here, it's been sent to the city, and the military order has been completed, so hurry away from these plague gods, where the hell are you going!
Zhang Yu cursed secretly in his heart, but saw the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing the gloomy face of Tingwei Zhang Tang, and looked around, thinking that he was checking the geographical situation of Beiping.
Spring in the north is finally coming, and the weather is very warm today, and the sun near noon is slightly dazzling. Looking from here, on the edge of the north gate, several guards were saluting a figure wearing only a green shirt.
After a little doubt, as if he suddenly thought of something, the captain named Zhang Yu jumped up with a pound in his heart, and he felt a burst of excitement inexplicably.
Don't...... Is this the legendary Changle Marquis who is just a teenager?
As he got closer and closer to the city gate, he gradually saw that the man was really just a young man in a green shirt. I saw him wave his hand so that the city defender flashed to the side, and he stood in the middle of the city gate, calmly looking at the group of people who came to the front.
There was a commotion of excitement in the cavalry behind him, and many people had already guessed the identity of the man, whose name had become a legend in the army in recent days.
No matter in which historical time and space, the heaviest in the military is the hero. Charge into battle and capture the flag, blood and killing, contempt and pride!
Zhang Yu gestured to the subordinates behind him, and had already jumped off the horse first, and when he walked forward, there was a reverent light in his eyes. This kind of feeling has nothing to do with status and status, only about the dust of the killing field, blood and fire, knives and arrows.
The young man named Yuan Zhao smiled very sincerely, and he had a deep respect for these soldiers who had been on the front line all year round, no matter who they were.
After greeting Changle Hou with excitement, Yuan Zhao asked a few words about the situation ahead, and when he heard that the army would rush back later, he nodded.
"Now that you have returned to Youbeiping, the task assigned to you by General Li will be completed. The journey has been hard, if Captain Zhang is tired, take his brothers back to the camp to rest first. ”
Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, he still wanted to be close to this little marquis, it was still early, but he was not in a hurry to return to the camp.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yuan Zhao smile at him meaningfully, and then missed his face to meet the cold gaze of the man who came out of the carriage, and the corners of his mouth skipped a hint of mockery.
"Yuan Zhao, why don't you escort Princess Li'an at Bibi, what are you running around! Is this the most important place for you to play around? ”
Zhang Tang has never looked at this little Changle Hou in his eyes, in his opinion, Yuan Zhao just happened to cure the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou and picked up an idle Hou Ye in vain. Such a wild child with no duties and no powers, in his mouth, is just like reprimanding an ordinary official.
Zhang Tang's words were so unpolite, not only made Guan Xi and other defenders who rushed to hear the news very dissatisfied, but also made Zhang Yu's subordinates who escorted them back even more unhappy, but their status was low, and they didn't dare to be rude to this senior member of the Nine Emperors of the Imperial Court.
"What is Nie Yi's crime?"
Yuan Zhao restrained his smile and asked coldly. He has never had a good impression of such cool officials, and he doesn't want to talk more nonsense with them.
Zhang Tang glanced contemptuously at the young man standing at the gate of the city, and snorted coldly.
"Humph! It is a major military matter, how can you be a yellow-mouthed child to explore! Don't flash aside, Hugh is in the way! ”
When Zhang Tang came from Chang'an, there were also forty or fifty people such as Shi Shi, the head of the Tingwei Mansion who accompanied him, and at this time, he saw that his adults were a little angry, such a good opportunity to perform, so he had to seize it!
"Boy, get out of the way and be nosy!"
"Huh! There is someone in Chang'an to protect you, here...... Don't ask for trouble! ”
"Last time, Zhao Changshi was the one who hurt him! My lord, maybe this kid is also a Hun spy......! ”
"Arrest him, too! Take a good trial, why stand up for that businessman who collaborated with the enemy! ”
Gossip, crowd emotion! There is a great tendency to tie up the person in front of him immediately.
It's no wonder they're so rampant, there's a reason for that. The Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, and the imperial power was further strengthened, among which, as a sharp blade for the royal family, the Tingwei Mansion made great contributions to the royal family, and was also favored and reused by the emperor.
From Hou Feng when Gaozu Lu Hou to Zhidu, Ning Cheng, Zhou Yangyou, Zhao Yu during the Second Emperor Wenjing, all the way to Zhang Tang, several Han court captains were all harsh and ruthless, strict laws, harsh treatment of princes, and there were several kings of the clan surnamed Liu who died in their hands, not to mention ordinary courtiers.
As a result, even these officials in the Tingwei Mansion are very arrogant, bold and reckless, they are all masters who are used to bullying people, in their eyes, they only have their own chief officials, anyway, even if they provoke something, they are covered by the Tingwei Lord who protects their shortcomings, what are they afraid of!
"I don't care what you have in mind, or what you want to achieve, but now hand them over, and the matter will be over. I'll just say this once! ”
Lions don't care about the buzzing of flies, and elephants don't pay attention to the provocations of ants!
Yuan Zhao didn't even look at the minions of the Tingwei Mansion in front of him, but just stared at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and clearly said what he meant.
Since his predecessor Zhao Yu went, Zhang Tang has been sitting in the position of the head of Jiuqing for seven or eight years, whether it is the prince or the important minister, no one has ever dared to speak to him so rudely! Hearing Yuan Zhao pick out some of his dark thoughts, his eyebrows raised at that time.
"Yuanzhao Xiao'er, you dare to open your eyes for a lowly businessman who fornicated with the Huns! And he spoke wildly, and he was rude to the order! This official was instructed by the Son of Heaven to patrol the northern Xinjiang to investigate the traitors, how can he let it go! Come on, take him down for me! ”
While rubbing their hands for a long time, more than a dozen henchmen shook the iron chain and wanted to step forward to take someone.
"Who dare!"
Seeing this scene, Guan Xi, who had been guarding Yuan Zhao for a long time, rushed to the front with an arrow step, holding the handle of the knife and shouting loudly. At the same time, dozens of soldiers from Right Beiping rushed up one after another, and Hula protected Yuan Zhao in the middle. Everyone glared angrily and confronted the people of the Tingwei Mansion.
Zhang Tang was after receiving the emperor's decree, immediately set off from Chang'an to Yanmen, he only knew that the siege of Mayi failed, and the holy will was to let him hold him accountable and deter the army. It can be said that he doesn't know anything about the battle situation and all kinds of details, and he doesn't know the prestige that Yuan Zhao has established in the border army in the past few days.
At this time, seeing that these soldiers of the Right Beiping dared to make such a move, this is simply like a rebellion! Zhang Tang was not angry but happy, he felt that a good opportunity might come.
There are more than 300,000 troops, but only one Wang Hui died, and some are not enough to take military discipline seriously, and kill chickens and monkeys! These soldiers in front of him are all subordinates of the flying general Li Guang, if he can be implicated in this and let this sworn enemy suffer some hardships, he can show his means. At the very least, he can be held accountable for the crime of not governing the army strictly and conniving at his subordinates.
Thinking of this, he stood on top of the carriage and pointed with his hand: "Okay! No wonder Ma Yi lost this time, so Li Guang still boasts of being a famous general, and it is not surprising to look at you rabble who have no military discipline. Do you know what the consequences of this will be? If you look for death yourself, you can't complain about the ruthlessness of the official! ”
Speaking of this, as soon as he stretched out his hand behind him, an attendant immediately handed over a sword wrapped in yellow silk satin, and Zhang Tang raised it high above his head and sneered.
"Any idea what this is? The Imperial Gift Shangfang Sword is here, you can act cheaply, cut first and then play! On top of this, the blood in Wang Hui's neck has not dried up, you ...... Hum! Zhang Yu, don't let your people take down all these unscrupulous people in front of you, wait for when! ”
The last sentence, he said to Zhang Yu, the captain of the 3,000 cavalry, but there was silence and no one responded.
When Zhang Tang turned his head to look, he saw that the three thousand cavalry who had retreated to the side all lowered their heads, their faces were expressionless, and none of them moved.
"What, Zhang Yu, do you want to lead your troops to rebel?"
When the cold words were spoken, there was already a murderous intent in my heart.
The captain lowered his head, and a trace of hesitation and struggle passed through his heart, but he finally made up his mind, the righteousness of his comrades, the love of the army, and the blood was not cold!
"My lord, the knives of the brothers in the army will only be towards the Huns, so I will not obey my fate!"
Seeing that he was a small lieutenant, he dared to disobey his orders, dark and calm, neither humble nor arrogant. Zhang Tang's face began to turn pale.
"Zhao Jia, Zhang Qing, take this sword, go and behead the leading general for me first, and settle the rest slowly!"
There are also masters in the Tingwei Mansion, seeing that the border army is disobedient, Zhang Tang handed over the sword in his hand to the two guards close to him, and punished the evil first!
The two men in strong clothes jumped up, Zhao Jia was in front, drew his sword out of the sheath, Zhang Qing then raised a single knife, glared at Zhang Yu and his subordinates viciously, and then went straight to Guan Xi, who was blocking in front of Yuan Zhao.
Guan Xi is only twenty years old, he still thinks about the world too simply, he only knows that the Hun enemies are ferocious, but where do he know the ferocious methods of these cool officials!
Seeing that the two of them were on the left and on the right, their bodies were like electricity, and the cold light of the sword flashed, they had already reached the front, but they were at the level of first-class masters.
Guan Xi didn't even have a chance to draw his sword to parry, and the other party's sword blade was already less than an inch away from his neck! At the last moment, a pair of hands grabbed his back from behind, and with a gentle pull, the whole body was moved back more than three feet by a strong force, and stood firmly. Before he could wipe the cold sweat on his head, what he saw in his eyes was so stunned that even his heartbeat stopped!
The shadow of the green shirt was like an arrow from the string, straight forward, first the toes flew shear, kicked Zhao Jia Zhang Qing who was raising the sword and slashed over, and then went straight into the group of men in the Tingwei Mansion in front of him, no one could see what was happening, only heard the wailing and screaming, after the green shadow passed through, like a tiger into the flock, fell to the ground in a mess!
Zhang Tang stood on the car and thought about the next means, when he heard the movement and hurriedly looked up, he saw that the figure of the young man in green shirt who was about to pass by him paused slightly, and made a grimace at him, his mind had not yet reacted, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, the horses neighed in his ears, and a few rolls in succession, and then there was a loud bang, the darkness in front of him, the weight pressed down, his head was dizzy, and he didn't know where he was for a while!
The world was silent, everyone held their breath, and the three or four thousand people in the city and under the city clearly saw the scene just now. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, these warriors who were accustomed to fighting on the battlefield would never have believed that one person's strength could be so strong.
The two sturdy men were each kicked four or five feet away by the flying scissors, lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Thirty or forty formidable officials of the Imperial Court struggled in the dust and cried out. Lord Tingwei's double-wheeled carriage was casually overturned to the ground, and the man turned over on his back and the wheels turned to the sky......
In the eyes of everyone, they saw that the young man was carefully carrying a middle-aged man covered in injuries from a car behind, jumped on a nearby horse, and galloped back to the city without saying a word.
"Happy revenge, the husband should be like this!"
Thousands of pairs of eyes followed the figure, and the man was generous and his blood boiled.
