50 Wrath
Wuliang Town, Zhao Mengxi Daying......
"O General! The brothers are all dying so miserably......" Yu Jin's face was haggard, and he knelt in front of Zhao Mengxi's tent and cried all night. In the first battle of Liudaokou, Sun Yan died, all the 5,000 officers and soldiers under the command of the two departments were killed, and only he survived, all with perseverance to support him to return to the camp, just to fight for the soldiers who died in the battle......
Zhao Mengxi in the tent sat in front of the desk, his face was pale and he didn't say a word, and his forehead couldn't help beating. The two guards behind him stood silently, trying not to make a sound, so as not to anger him and implicate the innocent. Fan Shizuku, who was below the desk, couldn't help but stroke the triangular whiskers on his chin, and looked at the tent with a vicious gaze......
"Hmph." Fan Shizuku snorted coldly for a long time, turned around and said to Zhao Mengxi: "General, these Sun Yan and Yu Jin are really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, what is the use of keeping such wine bags and rice bags?"
"Smack!" Zhao Mengxi's palm slapped heavily on the table, and the table made of solid wood broke in two, as if he was still angry, and got up and kicked the token box scattered on the ground and the four treasures of the study.
"What face do you have before you come to me? General Ben's army of 5,000 will let you and Sun Yan waste these two wastes in vain! Why don't you die! ”
Yu Jin, who was outside the tent, heard Zhao Mengxi's roar inside the tent, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he could only continue to kneel in place, his clothes and armor were already covered with a thick layer of snow. Some of the surrounding defenders stood in the wind and snow and could only cast sympathetic glances at Yu Jin, and there was nothing else they could do, after all, their status was low, and they couldn't speak at all in front of Zhao Mengxi.
After Zhao Mengxi finished roaring, he sat down on the chair, and Fan Shizuku saw him like this, and glanced at the two guards behind Zhao Mengxi. The two guards understood, and immediately slowly retreated from the side curtain, leaving only Zhao Mengxi and Fan Shi in the tent, and the sound of the flames beating in the brazier.
"General......" Fan Shizuku took a step forward and said softly: "Now that things have become like this, it is better to quickly get an idea, it is already a capital crime to send troops to fight without authorization in violation of military orders, and it is even more of a crime to lose troops and destroy the whole army, even if the time is traced down by Wei Wei to save his life by taking into account the face of Governor Lingzun Zhao, but the general's future stops there......"
"Humph! Do you still have the face to say, if you hadn't instigated the dispatch of troops yesterday, would General Ben be so passive now? Zhao Mengxi listened to Fan Shizuku's words, and suddenly became even more irritable, others didn't know, but he knew that Zhao Yuanji had never been very optimistic about his son, no matter how hard he tried, he was still not as good as his eldest brother Zhao Mengyuan, and Zhao Yuanji's cultivation of Zhao Mengyuan can be said to be doing his best, if there is no accident, the next governor of Heyuan is none other than Zhao Mengyuan.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mengxi pointed the resentment in his heart at Fan Shizuku, if it wasn't for this guy's instigation, how could he be hot-headed and send troops to attack Liudaokou, causing this tragic situation? Think about it, if it was really as easy as Fan Shizuku said, Wei Yi would have been dispatched a long time ago, and it would be his turn?
Seeing Zhao Mengxi's eyes looking at him coldly, and his tone revealed a trace of resentment, Fan Shizuku's heart suddenly suddenly, but he still showed a look of concern for him and said: "General, it's too late to say this now, and the last general never thought that such a change would happen, the top priority is to think about how to deal with this matter properly." ”
Seeing that Zhao Mengxi's expression was slightly softened, he continued: "What I said to the general yesterday about how to deal with it in case of an accident, you see ......?"
Zhao Mengxi's brows furrowed, but the anger in his heart was still blazing, and he got up for a long time and said: "Yu Jin and Sun Yan sent troops to Liudaokou without the consent of the head of this banner, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army, and according to military law, they should be beheaded for public display!" Fan Shen will deal with this matter, don't mess it up again! ”
When Fan Shizuku heard this, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" Then he walked out of the tent......
"And!" Zhao Mengxi thought for a while and stopped Fan Shizuku, "Order someone to clean up this place, and then change the sub-table!" With that, he disappeared behind the screen.
……
"Nope! I'm not convinced! Why! General Zhao promised me that he would treat me well no matter whether he won or lost! You bastard is pretending to pass on military orders! I want to see the general! ”
When Fan Shizuku called more than 10,000 soldiers in the battalion to the school ground, and announced Yu Jin's crime in public and sentenced him to beheading, Yu Jin's face was full of disbelief.
"Hmph......" Fan Shizuku sneered, looked at Yu Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and said gloomily: "Can the general order you to go out of the army at Liudaokou?" You are clearly disobedient to discipline, and you don't say bad things about the general behind your back on weekdays. ”
"I ...... I didn't...... I have always respected the general, how can I speak ill of him? Moreover, it was really the general who personally came to my camp and secretly ordered me and Sun Yan to send troops to fight the thieves together, such a movement, the defenders in front of the camp are obvious to all! ”
"Dare to quibble!" Fan Shizuku interrupted him, "You said that the general secretly ordered you to wait for the six crossings, do you have a certificate?"
Yu Jindao: "Even if it is a secret order, how can there be a certificate, but ......"
"Since you don't have a certificate, you dare to make a big deal about it? I see that you are clearly gambling with Sun Yan on the lives of the soldiers, and as a result, my flag group lost two battalions of men and horses in vain! Since you said that you went to attack Liudaokou on a secret order, and now that the whole army has been wiped out, why do you still have the face to come back?"
Facing Fan Shizuku's sharp inquiry, Yu Jin's momentum suddenly withered: "The last general is alive because he wants to come back and let the general fulfill his promise, and take good care of the families of the fallen soldiers, so that they can look down under ......the nine springs."
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, so you, Yu Jin, a lowly race born from a common people, are still tall? I see you're clearly trying to make a bunch of excuses for your life, needless to say, executioner! Pull it down and behead it for public display! ”
Fan Shizuku wouldn't listen to Yu Jin's words at all, all these consequences were originally caused by him instigating Zhao Mengxi, and he had to keep himself and Zhao Mengxi out of the matter, the best way was to find a scapegoat and put all the charges on his head, otherwise if he didn't handle it well, it would cause a mutiny, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, no matter what, Sun Yan and Yu Jin must die, because only dead people can't speak......
Yu Jin knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive today, so he roared unwillingly: "I want to see the general!" General Zhao! General Zhao! You promised me! Be kind to my fallen soldiers! How can you treat me like that! As you said yesterday, you and I are brothers and sisters, brothers in life and death......."
Fan Shizuku sneered: "Look, look, what is the identity of the general, and what is your identity?" Would you call an inferior person like you a brother? It's a ridiculous joke! Executioner, don't pull down the execution! ”
Seeing two stout soldiers approaching Yu Jin with heavy broadswords, Yu Jin still howled angrily as if he couldn't see it: "General! It's not a pity for me to die! But you have to give an account for the lives of thousands of brothers! Their families can't afford not to take care of them! ”
Fan Shizuku's cold voice came into Yu Jin's ears: "Five thousand soldiers collectively disobeyed the military order, and sending troops without authorization is tantamount to rebellion, and they still expect to be compensated?" didn't punish them, the nine clans were already the generals, and they were extra kind. ”
Every word and sentence of Fan Shizuku stung Yu Jin, who was on the verge of collapse, and he thought of the dead brothers, Sun Yan's head, and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect themselves from breaking through...... The scenes floated in Yu Jinxian's mind, and suddenly his heart was like a knife, and he got up suddenly, regardless of the heavy blow in his back, he pushed the executioner who was walking towards him, and stared at Fan Shizuku with red eyes.
"You...... Do you want to ...... Do...... Rebellion? Come! Fan Shizuku was uncomfortable stared at by him, and took a few steps back timidly.
"Sun Yan! Brothers! I'm incompetent! I'm sorry for you guys! I'm the one who hurt you! When you go underground, whatever resentment you have, come to me! I will make you cows and horses in the next life! ”
I saw Yu Jin look up to the sky and let out a long roar, and hit the big stone behind Fan Shizuku. Fan Shizuku was startled and hurriedly flashed to the side, and when he heard a loud "bang", Yu Jin fell down like this, leaving a pool of bright red blood on the boulder, which was gradually solidified by the wind and snow......
Liudaokou, Duanhong's main business......
A burst of laughter came from the huge cowhide tent where Duan Hong was, the wind and snow were howling outside, but it was as warm as midsummer inside.
I saw that there was a blazing charcoal fire burning in the four or five braziers in the middle of the big tent, and the generals in the tent were seated separately, drinking warm wine and meat, and chatting and laughing.
"You know what? The girls in Gaoyang City are really smart, and they have a lot of taste than those mountain villagers. ”
"It's just that the skin is so delicate and smooth that I can't wait to swallow it in one gulp."
"Hahaha, and that ass, round and strong, slap it firm and fleshy, it's very enjoyable to fuck......"
"Hahahaha, I really want to hurry up and fight Wuliang Town, I heard that the girls over there in Caizhou are even more superb, and when that day I want to let those eldest ladies of the Shi family conceive Lao Tzu's species, so that Lao Tzu's cub will also be a Shi clan......"
"Hahahaha......"
Duan Honggao sat in the middle of the main case, listening to his subordinates talking about it during the banquet, all of which were unbearable topics, and couldn't help frowning secretly.
Duan Hong was born in the Shu tribe, only because he was forced to live, he was forced to pull the banner of the rebel army and call on the bankrupt displaced people to join his team to fight against the Zhao family's brutal rule in Heyuan. But helplessly, time has passed, and countless setbacks and failures have made him understand how pale and powerless his ideals are in the face of reality, the status of the scholars is still as stable as a rock and cannot be shaken, and the court and the governor's palace will not have the slightest compromise because of the riots of the exiles, plus the ranks of his own army are uneven, they are all ruffians and hooligans of three religions and nine ranks, and there is no discipline at all. Under the promotion of various internal and external factors, Duan Hong gradually changed, counting on the court and the scholars to compromise their dreams in vain, and his heart began to become extremely cold and ruthless, he became no longer concerned about the lives of the displaced people, and pulled them to the front line to be cannon fodder in every major war, and the obtained grain, weapons, and materials were given priority to supply the fierce generals in his army, all of which was just for himself to sit in the position of governor and become a new member of the scholar clan, because the governors of the provinces and other important positions were not competent for the imperial power of the scholar clan. Since he couldn't break this iron law, he simply joined the nobles and assimilated into a member, so now he eats, uses, and wears, as close as possible to the nobles, and for the day you come, he will not hesitate to work hard to learn all kinds of poetry and classics when the war is busy.
He gently put down the celadon tea bowl in his hand, coughed lightly twice, and the tent instantly became quiet, and everyone looked at Duan Hong, waiting for him to speak.
Duan Hong glanced at everyone and said: "Now our army is short of food and grass, only for my hundreds of thousands of troops for a month, a few days ago I have sent people to Gaoyang, Liuzhou, Wenzhuang and other places to urge food, I believe that at most a month, all places will transport the grain, grass and ordnance of the army to the front of the army, and take Wuliang Town in one go, but not hurt Wei Yi's life......"
Everyone was confused, they didn't understand what Duan Hong meant, Zhang Zhong's eyes couldn't help rolling, but he still couldn't guess the intention of Duan Hong's words, and the tent suddenly became lively.
"Everyone, don't be impatient." Seeing this scene, Fu Ruhai got up and said: "The marshal is right, the Thunder Army can be exterminated, Zhao Yuanji must die, but Wei Yi really can't be killed!" ”
"Why is that?" Zhang Zhong asked angrily, "How many brothers did he kill me?" Does the Strategist know? ”
Fu Ruhai hugged his fists and said: "The Iron Tiger Army in General Zhang's hands is famous and intimidating, this is well known, and I have heard of the festival between the Thunder Army and the Thunder Army, but this is the position between the Thunder Army and the Iron Tiger Army, and we can't ignore the overall situation with personal grievances." ”
"Holidays? The big picture?" Zhang Zhong frowned, got up suddenly, and pulled off his leather jacket, the dry scars on his naked upper body were wrapped around like centipedes, which was embarrassing.
Zhang Zhong said angrily: "This wound was left by the Thunder Army when it attacked my Izumo County seven years ago, and in that battle, none of the 6,000 people under Lao Tzu's command were killed by Wei Yan's butcher's knife. ”
"This wound was left by the Wei Yi headquarters when he was looting Xiang Anfu six years ago, 20,000 lives, his Wei Yan's Thunder Army really did it!"
"These two wounds were ...... four years ago"
Listening to Zhang Zhong count the origin of each scar on his body, everyone present was shocked, and at the same time, he secretly sighed that Zhang Zhong's life was really hard, and he could survive many times when he encountered Wei Yan's direct troops, and he also fought a fierce "Iron Tiger Army", which is really rare......
"This scar was left by the battle with the guard department at the Jingtai border in April last year, dare to ask the military advisor, do you still think this is just a festival? If not, don't mention the overall situation to me, I'm a rough person, I only know that revenge will be avenged, and I just want to seek justice for the 100,000 brothers who died in the hands of the Thunder Army! After speaking, Zhang Zhong put his leather jacket back on and sat down resentfully. Everyone present was speechless for a moment, and they all looked at Duan Hong to see what he said.
The murderous intent in Duan Hong's eyes flashed, and it seemed that Zhang Zhong must not stay, and when he found an opportunity to get rid of him, otherwise it would be a big deal for me.
With a decision, Duan Hong immediately got up and raised his wine glass to Zhang Zhong and said: "What General Zhang said is reasonable, this handsome person is confused, there shouldn't be such a joke, I will punish myself with three glasses and hope that the general will atone for his sins." After speaking, Duan Hong really raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, poured the wine from the wine jug made of jasper, saluted Zhang Zhong and the others, poured it into his mouth, and really drank three glasses in a row.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhong was not easy to make any more trouble, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "Marshal, don't be like this, Zhang Zhong has a lot of offenses in the collision, and please marshal Duo Haihan!" I salute the marshal three bowls! After Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth......
The tense atmosphere was resolved under the "reconciliation" of Duan Hong and Zhang Zhong, and laughter soon came from the camp again.
A thief leader named Ding Jian said to Duan Hong: "Marshal, why don't you transfer the Jin family army from Meihe Town to Gaoyang and other places to urge food this time, with the help of the Jin family army and the Iron Tiger army, it can add a lot of chances for our army to win against Wuliang Town." ”
Duan Hong said with a smile: "No need, Gaoyang City and Meihe Town are gathered for four hundred miles, and now it is heavy snow to close the road, and then I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to dispatch Jin Heng, not to mention that Meihe Town is the foundation of our army's grain hoarding, in case the war is unfavorable, there is a way to retreat, although all parts of Ganzhou have been included in the hands of our righteous army, but there must be a preparation." ”
Duan Hong knew in his heart that Gaoyang City was captured, and Zhao Yuanji and even the royal family would definitely not give up, once the situation in Wuliang Town was unfavorable to him, Gaoyang would definitely become the key target of the official army, and it was still a question whether he could hold it at that time. But Meihe Town is different, it is 400 miles away from Gaoyang, and now there is a drought everywhere, even if the official army takes back Gaoyang City, it will not pose a real threat to Meihe Town for the time being, after all, it is impossible for the 400-mile march to go hungry to fight, right? What's more, there are tens of thousands of troops guarding it, and it may not be impossible to make a comeback, as long as Jin Heng and the massive supplies are still there, Duan Hong is not afraid of failure at all.
At this moment, the curtain was suddenly opened, and suddenly the cold wind hit everyone's cheeks, and it was indescribably cold.
"Urgent! Gaoyang Emergency! "One of the thieves jumped into the tent, and one accidentally fell to the ground.
"Gao Yang?" Duan Hong's eyes shrank sharply and asked, "What's wrong with Gao Yang?" When they heard this, they quickly got up and gathered around the herald.
"Gao Yang is fine, this is General Zhang Hui's secret letter!" Seeing that the herald was holding a letter in his hand and handing it to Fu Ruhai, everyone around him suddenly exhaled and felt relieved.
Fu Ruhai took the secret letter and came to Duan Hong's side, Duan Hong took the letter and tore it open to look at it, and when he saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he trembled in shock......
"What's wrong with the marshal?" Seeing Duan Hong like this, Fu Ruhai couldn't help but step forward to ask.
"See for yourself." Duan Hong's face was like ashes, and he handed the letter to Fu Ruhai.
Fu Ruhai took the letter and looked at it, and suddenly couldn't help shaking, and suddenly said to the leaders under the table: "How can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable, how many times have I told them, my army is outside, let them guard themselves in peace, but they don't listen, alas~ The marshal will wait for us to go back and we must strictly discipline and rectify military discipline!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... After only a few months of defeating Gao Yang, he began to quarrel with each other, and he also fought against his colleagues over some trivial things, which was too unusual. Duan Hong was worthy of being the leader of the thieves, and he instantly understood Fu Ruhai's intentions.
"What big deal should I do, it turns out that this is the matter, hehehehe......" Everyone immediately relieved when they heard it, this kind of thing is already the norm in the Shunyi army, and the marshal is too fussful.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some business to deal with now, so I won't accompany you today, so please take care of yourself." Duan Hong smiled and gave the order to evict the guests, and everyone left the big tent one by one.
"Ahh After making sure that everyone was far away, Duan Hong finally couldn't help but roar, "What is the origin of this Jingwei Battalion, how dare you attack my Meihe Town!" What do the tens of thousands of people in the Jinheng Department who stayed in Meihe Town do to eat? Killed and left no piece of armor behind! My food and grass, my thousands of soldiers! I'm going to smash those Jingwei camps into pieces! After roaring, Duan Hong overturned the table in front of him, the jasper wine pot and celadon tea bowl shattered in response, the wine and tea leaves spilled all over the ground, and Fu Ruhai on the side of him was expressionless, looking at the mess everywhere silently, as if thinking about something......
