Chapter 1088: Youzhou Ding
Zhang Linghui naturally couldn't think of this, although he led the infantry, but his own soldiers were all riding war horses, flying horses along the way, and when they arrived at the foot of Youzhou City, it was already the night of the second day, and the entire Youzhou City was like a giant beast, lying at the foot of Yan Mountain.
"Whoever is guarding the gate of the city, hurry up and open the gate." Zhang Linghui's face was haggard, and the armor on his body had long been abandoned on the road, which could reduce the weight of the war horse and make him run faster, looking at Youzhou City, Zhang Linghui was furious in his heart, he fought bloodily outside, and almost threw his life on the battlefield, these guys in Youzhou City were quietly stationed in the city, and they would not experience any wind and rain, and their hearts were suddenly a little unbalanced.
"General Zhang is back, hurry up and open the city gate." The soldiers behind Zhang Linghui also roared loudly. His mouth was full of insults.
At this time, the defenders on the city wall also found Zhang Linghui under the city, these people are all composed of Zhen Wuchen's henchmen, and they were a little worried at first, these guys followed Zhen Wuchen to rebel, and they actually didn't have any confidence in their hearts, but they saw Zhang Linghui and others in embarrassment by the firelight, and the soldiers and horses behind them were scattered, and even the armor was lost.
"General Zhang, there have been thieves in the city recently, and the villain does not dare to open the city gate easily, please wait for a while, wait for General Zhen to make a decision, and ask the general to forgive the sin." The captain of the city gate rolled his eyes, and while stabilizing Zhang Linghui, he asked people to quickly report to Zhen Wuchen and wait for Zhen Wuchen to deal with it.
"Damn, damn it, when I enter the city, I will kill him." Although Zhang Linghui was very angry in his heart, he had no choice but to wait below, while being careful that Li Jing would lead the army to kill from behind.
"General, the villain thinks something is wrong, General Zhen and the general are friends, no matter how careful the people under him are, according to reason, when they see the general, they should open the city gate immediately, but the other party said that they want to show General Zhen, here?" The soldiers around him couldn't help but whisper.
"What do you think is going on?" Zhang Linghui's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Seize power, I'm afraid that General Zhen wants to seize power, and when we leave, I heard that General Zhen is seriously ill, why has General Zhen's illness been cured in the past few days?" The soldiers beside him said cautiously.
Zhang Linghui's face moved, and finally shook his head and said: "We have been friends for more than ten years, if the five ministers fight for power and profit, I am afraid there will be no today." Besides, the five ministers are strong in martial arts, although they occasionally get sick, but I believe that they will recover so quickly, it is also said in the past, at this time Li Jing went north, the wind is loud, there are people in Youzhou City who do bad things, it is also possible, the five ministers are cautious, and it is understandable, Li Jing is far away from us at the moment, and he will not chase after him so quickly, after all, this is Youzhou City, and there are so many troops, Li Jing wants to catch up, and he must be careful. Rest assured. ”
As soon as Zhang Linghui's words fell, he heard a huge roar, only to see the city gate slowly open, Zhang Linghui saw the familiar body of Zhen Wuchen standing not far away, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although he believed in Zhen Wuchen in his mouth, but he was still very worried in his heart, worried that Zhen Wuchen really wanted to fight for power and get rid of himself, but at this moment, he found that his worries were superfluous.
"Five ministers." Zhang Linghui smiled and greeted him.
"Brother Zhang, but the Son of Hongwu came in person? Where is the pharmacist? Zhen Wuchen's face was strange, and he looked at Zhang Linghui who came slowly and said. There was a hint of regret in his tone.
"It was Li Jing who came in person, and Brother Guo was killed. Wuchen, now that the Changsheng army is just you and me, the security of Youzhou City is in the hands of you and me. Zhang Linghui didn't perceive the meaning of Zhen Wuchen's words, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, the matter has come to this, why doesn't Brother Zhang return to the Tang Hongwu Emperor? The Son of Heaven has been in the city of Youzhou, seeing that the Jin people are about to be defeated and retreat into the Northeast, the Central Plains will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you and I are Han people, shouldn't we submit to the Tang Dynasty? After Zhen Wuchen learned that Zhang Linghui was defeated, he had no other thoughts in his heart, just looked at Zhang Linghui's appearance, and couldn't help but want to persuade him.
"The pharmacist died at the hands of Li Jing, and we have a common enmity with Li Jing, how can we be submissive to him?" Zhang Linghui couldn't help but retort.
"Together, the lives are devastated, and tens of thousands of my brothers in the victorious army will die at the hands of the war, not to mention, Li Jing himself is the emperor of the Han people, and we are also Han people, it is better to obey him than to serve the Jin people." Zhen Wuchen turned into a long sigh.
Zhang Linghui's face changed when he heard this, and at this time he felt that something was wrong with Zhen Wuchen in front of him, and he couldn't help but stop, pointed at Zhen Wuchen and said, "You, you betrayed Dajin?" ”
"I'm Han, what's the point of betrayal?" Zhen Wuchen shook his head and said: "When the Son of Heaven was in Youzhou, I was already His Majesty's courtier, and I have just been in Youzhou all these years, and I am waiting for today at the order of Your Majesty. Brother Zhang, I thought that by now, you would definitely abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but unfortunately, you are a Han Chinese, but you work for the Jin people, so you and I have a deep friendship, but in the face of national righteousness, the younger brother is powerless, but you can rest assured, the family of Brother Chang Shengjun, I will definitely be properly settled, Senior Brother Yao and the families of several people, the five ministers will do their best to take care of it. ”
"You!" Zhang Linghui's face changed greatly when he heard this, and the long knife in his hand was about to kill Zhen Wuchen, but he heard a loud noise next to him, and saw dozens of people rushing out of the Tibetan soldier cave, and they all killed Zhang Linghui and others, and next to Zhen Wuchen, the personal guards also escorted Zhen Wuchen out of the city gate. In the depths of the city gate, many soldiers came one after another, shouting and killing.
"Zhen Wuchen, you can't die well." After walking only a few dozen steps, Zhen Wuchen heard Zhang Linghui's terrible screams.
"Stubborn, still willing to be a lackey of the golden man, what do you want me to say?" Zhen Wuchen sighed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and inform Your Majesty that Youzhou has fallen into my hands, please enter Youzhou." With the death of Zhang Linghui, Zhen Wuchen was also completely relieved, the huge Youzhou fell into his hands like this, and when he thought about it carefully, it was like in a dream.
But if you think about it carefully, when Li Jing decided to cross the sea from Banqiao Town to attack Youzhou, the situation in Youzhou was actually determined. Li Jing has achieved an absolute advantage strategically.
