Chapter 33: The Discord Scheme
Does this boy not know how to lead soldiers? His general has won a few games, and his morale is high, so there is no reason to withdraw his troops. Hmph, I think he must be the one who can only talk on paper.
Seeing that Wen Han didn't understand the basics of marching and fighting, Zhang Hao sneered, and agreed at the moment to collect troops and go back to Shuanglong Mountain. However, on the way back, Zhang Hao was silent, ignoring Zhou Cang, and already had the intention of alienation. Zhou Cang smiled bitterly, but also helpless.
Wen Han and Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Pei Yuanshao were in the tent, while reviewing the matter of today's fighting generals, while waiting for Li Qiang's return Guan Yu to give guidance to Xu Huang's routine today. And Wen Han analyzed Zhou Cang's psychology for Xu Huang, although Xu Huang was arrogant, he could accept other people's suggestions, and solemnly wrote down the words of Wen Han and Guan Yu in his heart.
Wen Han was quite satisfied with Xu Huang's attitude of correcting his mistakes, having the courage to face and improve, and hoped that he would soon reach Xu Gongming, who was known for his cautious character in the Three Kingdoms in the 'Five Good Generals'. It is precisely because of Xu Huang's cautious and serious character that he has made extraordinary achievements in the two fields of military training and city defense.
As he spoke, Li Qiang walked into the tent from outside, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he picked up the kettle on the table and poured it violently. After he came back to his senses, he said: "Today's prince asked the Nayang County scouts to go out to watch the people, and I didn't see Wang Liang in the formation. Gongzi thought that Wang Liang must be guarding the big village in the mountains, so he ordered me to take the opportunity to sneak into the mountains to find Wang Liang.
In the escort team, I selected a few soldiers who were agile and alert. With a lot of money, he sneaked into the mountain village. At that time, Wang Liang was playing with some women in the village, and I was afraid that I would alarm those women, so I secretly waited for the opportunity. After waiting for almost half an hour, I was afraid that I would not have enough time, and I almost killed those women.
At this time, Wang Liang happened to finish his work, and those women left Wang Liang's room. I asked Wang Liang to wait, and I entered Wang Liang's room. At that time, Wang Liang was finishing sexual intercourse, his body collapsed, and he wanted to shout, but he was not as fast as me. I pressed his mouth, and stuffed him with the burden of three hundred taels of silver in my bosom, and silenced him.
When Wang Liang saw the silver, he was like a newborn wolf cub, and when he saw the milk, his eyes were glowing. And when he saw that I had great strength, he was afraid that I would hurt his dog's life. It immediately became cooperative. I talked to him according to the son's instructions, and Wang Liang pondered for a while, and I was shocked for a while, thinking that the rumors were false, or that this Wang Liang was a loyal man, and refused to cooperate.
Who knows, after Wang Liang stopped for a while, he asked me to make conditions as soon as he opened his mouth. said that after forcing Zhou Cang to surrender to the enemy, if Gongzi broke through Shuanglong Mountain, he would seek an official position for him in the future. I saw that the time was about the same, and I didn't bargain with him, so I promised him.
I made a deal with him, and that Zhang Hao just came back. I was so scared that I almost lost my soul, but fortunately, this Wang Liang helped, and secretly sent me and my subordinates to fight, I was afraid that Zhang Hao would find out, so I rushed back with my subordinates all the way. It's really not thrilling, and I completed the task assigned by Childe. ”
Li Qiang finished his words in one breath, felt dry again, and hurriedly poured a few mouthfuls of water.
After Wen Han heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Hahaha, if you break through this Shuanglong Mountain, Li Qiang should make a note of the first work." Fortunately, this Wang Liang disregarded loyalty, otherwise he would have almost damaged my brother. The divisive plan has been completed, and when the time is ripe, Pei Yuan Shaoru will go up the mountain and invite my fierce general. ”
Pei Yuanshao saw Li Qiang's meritorious service, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, and hurriedly received the order: "I will complete the entrustment of my son and invite my younger brother here!" ”
Wen Han nodded and laughed. The soldiers in the tent were also smiling, waiting for Zhou Cang to come and rush to Shuanglong Mountain to exterminate the thieves and make contributions.
At the same time, in the village of Shuanglong Mountain, the atmosphere is terrifyingly silent. Zhang Hao's face was very bad, his eyelids were jumping, and he sat at the head of the hall, his calm face seemed to have a fire in his belly.
Wang Liang sat down on the lower seat and asked, "Brother, what happened." Thou hast come back as if thou wast angry. Could it be that the court soldiers and horses are strong, which makes my brother worried? ”
Zhang Hao saw Wang Liang asking, remembering what happened before today's battle, his anger rose and gritted his teeth: "My brother doesn't know anything." Before today's battle, the imperial court did not know where to send soldiers and horses, and there was a fierce general among the soldiers and horses, and he even picked up three warriors in my village. Later, Zhou Cang went out of battle and almost killed this fierce general, eliminating a major enemy for me.
However, he was secretly rescued by the people who led the court soldiers. Later, it was even more infuriating. That Zhou Cang had no intention of fighting with others, and was almost killed by the fierce general. was rescued by a familiar person with the court's soldiers and horses. Zhou Cang seemed to have a deep friendship with that person, and they actually talked in front of the battle. If it weren't for the fact that I had made people blow the horn of the army, I don't know if I would have thrown myself into the enemy this week. ”
Wang Liang's eyes shone brightly, and in his heart it was the secret path of heaven to help me. Hearing this situation, Zhou Cang's performance today was ambiguous, which caused Zhang Hao's dissatisfaction.
"This week, Cang is so ignorant. When he was hunted down by the government for smuggling salt, his brother kindly took him in. Listening to what my brother said just now, today's Zhou Cang has the intention of surrendering to the enemy. Zhou Cang's martial arts are good, and my brother knows this. Maybe Zhou Cang deliberately stayed hard, didn't kill the fierce general, and acted in front of his brother, so as to wait for the opportunity to attack with the court soldiers and horses.
Brother, that Zhou Cang guarding the village under the mountain is our lifeblood, if that Zhou Cang is really to the enemy, we will be like a turtle in the urn, let others slaughter. ”
There are two cottages in Shuanglong Mountain, the high place is guarded by Zhang Hao and Wang Liang, the thief calls himself 'Shanshang Village', and the low place is guarded by Zhou Cang alone, calling himself 'Shanxia Village'. The two sides formed a corner and rescued each other. But if one side betrays the enemy, it will immediately bring unimaginable losses to the other side.
Wang Liang took the opportunity to fan the flames, and said that Zhang Hao's face became more and more ugly, and he was afraid for a while.
"No, it won't. Zhou Cang is loyal. I am not thin on him, he will not betray me..."Zhang Hao shook his head, as if to give himself confidence and said.
"Hmph. Brother, don't forget. Zhou Cang has a heavy army in his hands, and his 1,000 cavalry is the most elite soldiers and horses in our Shuanglong Mountain. Who dares to guarantee that he is not unwilling to his brother. He has rescued Shuanglong Mountain from several crises, and in the mouths of the people below, his reputation is getting stronger and stronger. Brother, you treat others with loyalty, but you don't know if others treat you with loyalty. ”
Wang Liangyin said inquisitively on the side, Zhang Hao was terrified.
At this moment, a thief scout rushed to the hall, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow was lettered.
"Report to the big boss, just now a secret letter was shot from the court soldiers."
As soon as the thief scout finished speaking, Zhang Hao seemed to have guessed something, stood up angrily, walked quickly to the scout, and snatched the letter of the arrow.
After Zhang Hao read the letter, he was furious, tore the letter into countless pieces of paper, his face turned red, and he yelled with all his might: "Zhoucang dog thief, deceive me too much!" It's too much to deceive me!! ”
"Brother, at this time, we have not gathered troops and horses, and we are not ready to attack him while we have not found out in that week. Could it be that when he and the court soldiers and horses are ready, they will come together to kill his brother? ”
Wang Liang saw that it was a good time, and in the fire in Zhang Hao's heart, he sprinkled oil again.
Zhang Hao looked crazy and irrational, and shouted: "Wang Liang will gather the brothers in the village, and when it is dark tonight, we will go to take Zhou Cang's life together."
Wang Liang lowered his head and sneered at the order, walked out of the cottage, and ordered to go down.
At night, Zhou Cang couldn't sleep at night, and walked out of the room to look at the moonlight. Thinking of today's events, after seeing Pei Yuanshao, he couldn't help but recall the days when he smuggled salt with Pei Yuanshao in the past. At that time, although he was poor and in danger, he was happy and carefree, unlike after coming to this cottage, he was looked down upon and suspicious every day.
Zhou Cang felt a little tired, and thought that it would be better to throw himself at Yuan Shao's brother, and now he saw that the leader of the troops was also an open-minded and bold person. If you cast it, you should be able to reuse. However, as soon as Zhou Cang's thought flashed, he forcibly pinched it off.
He looked at the houses around him and thought that there were a thousand more brothers who were happy with him. Zhou Cang knew that he couldn't abandon these thousand brothers. Although Zhou Cang usually trains them rigorously, these brothers all know Zhou Cang's intentions, so that they can go to the battlefield to leave less blood and not lose their lives. Therefore, these people regard Zhou Cang as a big brother.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic shouting and killing sound from the top of the mountain, which brought Zhou Cang back from his thoughts.
"Kill! Kill that traitor Zhou Cang! ”
"The second boss Zhou Cang surrendered to the enemy, and the brothers on the village quickly arrested Zhou Cang to understand his heart!"
The sound of Zhou Cang's surrender to the enemy sounded all around, and the thieves in the village under the mountain were all awakened when they heard the shouting and walked out.
"It's the people in the village on the hill shouting."
"Leader Zhou betrayed the enemy? How can it be! ”
"You see, it's Leader Zhou...."
After the people and horses in the mountain village came out, they said gossipingly. Later, they found Zhou Cang, who was pale. Zhou Cang trembled, he knew that he was a little ambiguous with Pei Yuanshao today, but he never expected that this Zhang Hao was so narrow-minded that he couldn't tolerate a trace of sand to kill him.
"Don't hurt these brothers." Zhou Cang saw those thieves from the mountain village, flocked here, and immediately made up his mind. Giving up the struggle, he turned to the thief at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Brothers. There are many thieves in the mountain village, and it is a sneak attack, and you can't win them. Hurry up and capture me to save my life. ”
After listening to Zhou Cang's words, the thieves in the village under the mountain suddenly fell silent for a while. You look at me and I look at you, but no one comes forward to do anything.
"Nope! Although we are small people, we also know how Leader Zhou is a person. You usually treat me like a brother and sister, and you understand righteousness, how can you join the enemy. I'd rather live and die with Leader Zhou than do anything to hurt Leader Zhou, otherwise I'd rather wait for pigs and dogs! ”
"That's right, live and die with Leader Zhou!
"Live and die with Leader Zhou!"
The little leader of the village under the mountain said, his words resonated with the people around him, and the thieves in the village shouted almost in unison.
Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and his heart was extremely excited, this touching scene made him, a dignified nine-foot man, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. Pulling his throat, crying and laughing: "Hahahahaha!! On the Huangquan Road, accompanied by your brothers, my Zhou Cang is not in vain! It's worth this life! ”
