The Huns came to show off again, they annihilated a Chu army that rushed to the rescue, and dragged the corpses back and forth outside the city with horses, and let out a series of whistling from their mouths. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This move has no practical significance, and is purely to show its cruelty to the prey that has no way out.

The soldiers of the Chu army guarding the city couldn't stand it, they turned around one after another, and several generals went to report to the general of the Che Cai, Deng Cui received them in civilian clothes and said: "Reinforcements should also come, it's okay, it's more reckless at first, and after a few more losses, you will become honest." ”

The generals were stunned, and Fan Bangshan couldn't help but say, "Could it be that we just look at it and do nothing?" ”

"What can be done?" Deng Cui asked, signaling the girl ring behind him to beat his shoulder.

"This ...... Another sneak attack? ”

"The Huns are not fools, how can they be attacked every time? They retreated ten miles back to the camp to deal with this kind of thing. ”

The retreat of the camp meant that the Chu army had a longer round-trip distance after leaving the city, and it was easier to be cut off by the Huns around it.

"Your Majesty entrusted the task of defending the city to the general, but the general's strategy is to sit back and wait for death?" Although he had won a battle with Deng Cui, Fan Bangshan still didn't trust this person very much.

Deng Cui thought seriously for a while and nodded, "Yes, that's it." ”

Fan Bangshan was furious, turned his head to look at the other generals, everyone else hung their heads and was silent, only he dared to speak, "In this case, it's not the same who is the general of the chariot and cavalry, why do you have to choose you?" ”

Deng Cui didn't mean to be angry, he still thought seriously for a while, pointed to Yahuan's shoulder on the other side, and then said: "It's different, it's the same sitting and waiting to die, I'm more calm, even if I die, my posture is a little better, and if I change to you, I will inevitably toss back and forth, and I still can't break through, and my death is still ugly." As you can see, the Huns don't have much respect for the dead. ”

Deng Cui actually laughed, Fan Bangshan was furious, if it weren't for the difference between dignity and inferiority, he could have strangled the little white face opposite with his bare hands, "Your Excellency is a general in vain, I will go to see Your Majesty ......"

Fan Bangshan remembered that the emperor was sick, and he shouldn't bother him with this kind of thing.

Deng Cui yawned indifferently, "I advise General Fan to be less right and wrong, the matter is clear, Jincheng has not been breached, it is not you and me, not thousands of Chu troops, not even the people of the city, but the Huns have weighed again and again, and feel that it is more cost-effective to use the emperor to lure reinforcements from all over the Great Chu." Now that there are reinforcements on the bait, it means that Jincheng can support for a while longer, it is a pity that the reinforcements were annihilated, and the Huns dragged the corpse very cruelly, but for Jincheng, this is a good thing. ”

Fan Bangshan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't refute the other party's words, so he had to turn around and leave, not even wanting to say goodbye.

Deng Cui closed his eyes and recuperated, disdainful of the farewell of the other generals.

Fan Bangshan went around the city for half a circle, the streets were very deserted, the people hid in their homes and did not dare to come out, most of the soldiers were guarding the city, and even this arrangement was the result of the generals doing their own thing, and the general Deng Cui never gave any orders at all.

Fan Bangshan wanted to lead his headquarters out to fight, but without the permission of the emperor or Deng Cui, the city gate would not be opened, and he also knew that this battle would definitely be lost, and the siege of Jincheng could not be solved.

Deng Cui was right, the reason why Jincheng was still alive was that the Huns did not seriously attack the city, and Fan Bangshan just couldn't stand the indifferent attitude of the Che cavalry general to the whole situation.

"As a general, shouldn't you wholeheartedly share your majesty's worries?" Fan Bangshan asked loudly, and several guards behind him nodded, not knowing why.

Fan Bangshan still came to the palace, but the person he wanted to see was not the sick emperor.

Cui Teng was not there, the entourage received the guests, and Fan Bangshan sat in the living room and waited, no matter how the entourage hinted, he just didn't leave.

It wasn't until after dark that Cui Teng came back, and when he saw Fan Bangshan, he couldn't help but be stunned, "General Fan? What a rarity. ”

One of the two is a fierce general trusted by the emperor, and the other is a confidant around the emperor, who often met before, but did not interact in private.

Fan Bangshan stood up, not politely, and arched his hand: "I have something to discuss with Cui Gongzi." ”

"Me?" Cui Teng was even more surprised, although he usually thinks very highly of himself, but in front of the real general, he has a little self-knowledge, "If it's a war, I can't help." ”

"It's related, but it's not a war." Fan Bangshan took a step forward, "Your Majesty trusts you very much, right?" ”

"Well, sort of."

"You are Your Majesty's brother-in-law, I heard that when General Cui supported others to claim the emperor, you would rather not be filial than take refuge in Your Majesty."

These are all facts, but no normal official would say it in front of the Cui family, Cui Teng was even more embarrassed, and said bluntly: "General Fan can say it if he has something, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

"Your Majesty is sick in bed, and the soldiers and civilians of Jincheng have no backbone......"

"Isn't there a chariot general Deng Cui?"

"The problem is with him." Fan Bangshan said angrily, "I can't speak, you have to tell Your Majesty, let Your Majesty be careful, Deng Cui didn't care to defend the city at all." ”

Cui Teng was taken aback, "What? Deng Cui wants to join the enemy? ”

Fan Bangshan was stunned for a moment, feeling that he didn't seem to say such a thing, but when he thought about it, he felt reasonable, "It's possible, he sits back and relaxes at home, doesn't go to inspect the city wall, and doesn't arrange guards, there is a support army outside that was annihilated by the Huns, and he is indifferent, obviously he has found a way out!" ”

"Okay, Deng Cui actually dares to do such a thing! I'm going to see Your Majesty, I've just returned from there. ”

These two people are reckless and violent, and in a few words, Deng Cui was charged with defecting to the enemy, and they were about to set off violently, Fan Bangshan finally remembered the reason why he came to Cui Teng in the first place, and reminded: "You have to be careful when you speak, don't make Your Majesty angry, but aggravate your condition, I came to you, I just think you can speak." ”

"General Fan thinks I can speak?" There are many sycophants around Cui Teng, and no one has ever praised him for "being able to speak".

Fan Bangshan nodded, he didn't know much about Cui Teng, he only knew that this was the son of the Cui family, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor, "Favored ministers, they should be able to speak, otherwise why would you win Your Majesty's favor?" ”

If this was said by someone else, Cui Teng would be furious immediately, but Fan Bangshan was unintentional, Cui Teng thought about it and decided to take this sentence as a pure compliment, but he calmed down because of this, "can speak...... You shouldn't be looking for me, you should be looking for the King of the East China Sea. ”

"He? The King of the East China Sea and His Majesty have competed for the throne, can't you believe it? ”

"That was in the past, he is very well-behaved now, let's go to him together, he will definitely be able to do it without making His Majesty angry, and explain things clearly."

The king of the East China Sea lived in the courtyard next to Cui Teng, and after listening to the two of them's "accusations" against Deng Cui, he asked, "What have you heard?" Or do you see something? ”

Fan Bangshan was stunned, "Isn't this obvious?" It's not just me, but the other generals have also seen the things I just said, and they will know when they ask. ”

"Yes, is there anyone who would 'openly' betray the emperor? No matter how bad Deng Cui is, he is also the general of the Chu State, he wants to betray, or secretly escape from Jincheng, or contact everyone to start an incident directly in the city, stay at home every day and get along with his wife and concubines, Yahuan, what betrayal? ”

The two opened their mouths, and Cui Teng said dissatisfiedly: "It's all your fault, and you won't figure it out." ”

Fan Bangshan scratched his forehead, remembering that he just wanted to remind the emperor to beware of Deng Cui through Cui Teng at the beginning, or to change people to rectify the city defense, why did it suddenly become an accusation of rebellion against Deng Cui? Even he doesn't believe in such a thing.

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Fan Bangshan left in a hurry.

"If you have courage and no strategy, who made him a fierce general?" The King of the East China Sea looked at Cui Teng, "You are also confused, why do you listen to his nonsense?" ”

"I'm ...... You rest, I'll go back to sleep. Cui Teng turned to leave.

"Wait, I'm looking for you."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, you went to see Sister Cui Zhao yesterday, and you have been avoiding me since you came back, and today you are in front of Your Majesty, there must be something, you always claim to be a loyal minister, and now prove it to me."

Cui Teng blushed and thought for a while, "Then you have to promise not to talk nonsense." ”

"Am I that kind of person?" The king of the East Sea thought to himself, he would not talk nonsense, he would only say it purposefully.

"Zhang's father and daughter are aphrodisiacs."

"yes, I know."

Cui Teng was taken aback, and he didn't dare to hide it, "They were bribed by Mrs. Pingenhou to dedicate the third sister to His Majesty......"

"Hey." The East Sea King sneered, "Go on." ”

"But Master Zhang Qin said that His Majesty seems to be practicing some kind of special exercises, and he is resistant to the sound of the qin, so he will get sick."

"Your Majesty is obviously poisoned!" The King of the East Sea didn't believe that the sound of the piano could have such a magical effect.

"Mrs. Ping Enhou didn't know that His Majesty was poisoned, I told her, she was very surprised, and she would ask Zhang Qinshi to come and explain to me tonight."

"That 'Zhang Qinshi'? Father or daughter? ”

"Mrs. Pingenhou didn't say anything."

"I know who you're looking forward to, you're not going to invite me, are you?"

"Well, I'll tell you when we meet."

"Stupid, the piano girl can't speak, how can I explain it to you? It must be Zhang Zhuhe who came. ”

Cui Teng was disappointed, he only paid attention to the eyes of the piano girl, and had long forgotten that she couldn't speak, "You can also make gestures, I can understand." ”

"Then you go back and wait, control yourself, don't scare the old man."

Cui Teng laughed twice, turned around and left, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that the person who came would be Zhang Qinyan.

The king of the East China Sea had eaten at the emperor's place, called the servants, washed up and prepared to rest, no matter who went to see Cui Teng, he probably would not come to tell the king of the East China Sea tonight.

The emperor's illness seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the king of the East China Sea couldn't help but think if he could return to the capital now......

He dispelled this unrealistic fantasy and went to bed.

After tossing and turning for more than an hour, just as he was about to fall asleep, the king of the East Sea was woken up by a sound outside.

Fan Bang Mountain went and returned, he had to see the King of the East China Sea.

The King of the East China Sea walked to the door in his coat and said unhappily, "General Fan has something?" ”

Fan Bangshan pushed the servant away and walked in a few steps to the King of the East China Sea, "I found evidence." ”

"What evidence?" The King of the East Sea is not too awake yet.

"Evidence of Deng Cui's rebellion." Fan Bangshan said with certainty, "He will send people out of the city tonight to contact the Huns, and I will arrest people later, and I will get personal stolen goods." ”

The King of the East China Sea was deeply surprised, and was about to say that things would not be so simple, but Cui Teng actually came, his steps were in a hurry, he ran to the door, gasped and said, "It's Meng E, Zhang Zhuohe said that Meng E must have been poisoned." ”

Cui Teng and Fan Bangshan glanced at each other, but they didn't expect to see each other at this time.

The King of the East China Sea raised his eyebrows, a rare situation: he held two conspiracies, and the emperor was kept in the dark. (To be continued.) )
