Chapter 142: The Loyalty of a Traitor
The lobby of the town guard of Shule Town.
Fumeng Lingcha laughed happily: "Hahaha, good, Ziliang, originally Lord Gai and General Ben didn't have much hope for the Zhaowu Kingdoms, and they just wanted to try their luck when they sent you, but I didn't expect you to say that the three kingdoms of Bahanna, Shi and Shi sent troops, although they didn't send many troops, but this also proves that my Datang still has influence and deterrence in the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and once the coalition is established, it will inevitably cause huge pressure on the Turgish!" You have done a very good job this time, and General Ben wants to ask Lord Gai for credit for you! ”
Zhao Ziliang bowed down and said: "Thank you general, but this is not the credit of the last general alone, the last general and others were attacked by the big food army dressed as horse bandits on the road, and lost more than half, whether it is a living person or a dead person, they are all meritorious, and the last general will not dare to monopolize it!" ”
Bian Lingcheng, who was sitting on the first place on the left side of Fumeng Lingcha, saw Zhao Ziliang at this time, but his heart was itching with hatred, "I didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to come back alive when he went to the land of Zhaowu Jiu this time, it seems that those big cannibals are just some wastes who only know how to take money, but can't do things!"
When Bian Lingcheng was secretly hating in his heart, Fu Meng Lingcha said again: "Ziliang, since the king of Shi Guo presented a beauty, a lion and a fire rat to His Majesty the Emperor, these must be escorted all the way to Chang'an, don't bother the two masters, or you will take someone to escort to Chang'an, what do you think?" ”
When Bian Lingcheng heard this, what kind of business, it has only been more than two months since the war with the Turks, if Zhao Ziliang escorted Cao Ye to Chang'an, wouldn't he be able to catch up with the crusade against the Turks?
Bian Lingcheng is taking advantage of Zhao Zi's belligerent nature to find a way to make him die in the war, so that he has not broken his promise to Mrs. Meng, and can kill Zhao Ziliang, but if Zhao Ziliang does not participate in this battle, there is no danger. How else to kill him?
Bian Lingcheng thought of this, and immediately objected: "General Fumeng, General Zhao is a rare fierce general in my garrison in Shule Town, and there are very few people who can match him. I'm afraid that he won't have time to come back, won't I have one less general in the army guarding the town of Shule? Please also ask the general to take national affairs first, it is better to change to someone else to escort him! ”
"This" Fu Meng Lingcha suddenly had nothing to say, he was worried that Zhao Ziliang would think of Panzhu Junxiu and be sad when he returned to Shule Town again, so he wanted him to leave again, and after going to Chang'an to see the prosperity of Chang'an, he forgot his grief, and it would be fine after a long time, but Bian Lingcheng said this, and stood on the commanding heights in terms of righteousness and morality. There is no way to refute, what is the eunuch trying to do here? Hasn't he always been jealous of Zhao Ziliang's talent? Why do you want to help Zhao Ziliang participate in this battle? I don't understand!
Zhao Ziliang was also full of wondering, how did Ling Cheng change his sex today? I actually helped myself to speak, you must know that participating in this battle is an idea I had a long time ago, and it is definitely a big pity not to participate in this battle!
"General, the last general knows that you are worried that the last general will be sad after seeing things and thinking about people, and the general's feelings will not be repaid. The last general has come from his grief. You promised the last general to join the expedition against Turgish. The escort mission also asks the general to choose another meritocracy! ”
At the beginning of this year, the imperial court recruited 780,000 people from all over the country to go to the Longyou region to guard against Tibet, if after the autumn harvest, the country of Tubo has not come to Koubian, then the 70,000 or 80,000 troops will be sent back to their hometowns, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty this year in order to prevent the invasion of Tibet can be a bloody investment. With such a number of troops. Tubo Zampu is definitely not stupid, and will not send troops to invade the Longyou and Hexi regions, so this year's dispatch of troops to attack Tuqishi has become the only foreign war in the Tang Dynasty this year, and the imperial court must attach great importance to it. If you can make a contribution to this battle, you will enter the eyes of the court bigwigs. There is hope to be famous all over the world, which is why Zhao Ziliang insisted on participating in this battle.
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's resolute expression, and the eagerness in his eyes was extremely obvious, Fu Mengling knew that the matter of sending him to Chang'an would not work, so he had to sigh: "Okay, since you said that it was okay and insisted on participating in the battle against the Turks, General Ben will fulfill you!" The matter of escorting Hu Nu and the tribute will be handed over to others, where is Bi Sichen? ”
Bi Sichen was observing the reactions of everyone in the hall, but he didn't expect Fu Meng Lingcha to call him, so he hurriedly went out of class and said, "The end will be!" ”
"I order you to escort Shi Guo's tribute to Beijing, and set off in three days, and there must be no mistakes on the way, especially the Hu girl!"
Although there is no danger in this errand, it is a chore, especially there is a woman in the tribute, the road from Anxi to Chang'an is far away, there is absolutely no good scenery to see along the way, it is not hundreds of miles of desert or Gobi, it is very difficult to see a little bit of green, the key is that Bi Sichen is very relaxed and comfortable to be the deputy envoy of the guard and capture in the transfer city, Zhao Ziliang has already set the rules there, everything is in order, he doesn't have to do anything, the garrison can operate normally, what is more comfortable than this? But this kind of relaxation and comfort will disappear immediately, and Bi Sichen can only sigh for his bad luck.
He stood up and arched his hand: "No! ”
After the discussion was over, Bian Lingcheng returned home with a gloomy face, and Steward Gui hurriedly greeted him, seeing that his expression was wrong, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what makes you unhappy?" ”
Bian Lingcheng sat down, picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Ziliang didn't die in the land of Zhaowu Jiu, that kid came back intact, half of the people and horses he brought with him died, but he didn't die, why is this kid's life so big?" Those big cannibals, Sogdians, are just some piece of waste! ”
Steward Gui hurriedly said: "Master, this is impossible, the deputy general of the Great Food Country stationed in Kangju Country is an experienced veteran, in addition to the leading general Alap, he has the largest official position, and there are more than 1,000 elite cavalry under his command, it is impossible that even Zhao Ziliang's two hundred people can't deal with it!" ”
Bian Lingcheng snorted coldly: "Hmph, the fact is that Zhao Ziliang came back intact, either the Great Cannibal did not show hostility to the mission to Zhaowu Jiudi at all, or he not only did not kill Zhao Ziliang, but was killed by Zhao Ziliang!" But now it seems that it is much more likely that he will be killed by Zhao Ziliang."
Steward Gui nodded: "The master's analysis is reasonable, if Aple is fine, even if he doesn't succeed, he will send a letter to the old slave, but now he sees that Zhao Ziliang is fine, but he didn't believe it a little, nine times out of ten he died in the hands of Zhao Ziliang, I didn't expect this Zhao Ziliang to be so powerful!" ”
"Hmph, master, I knew that you were behind the ghost, you said you, you are a ghost, you are more reliable, don't kill him, but make a fuss for yourself!"
The two were talking, but they didn't know when there was a person standing outside, she was Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng just heard the next person in the room say that Bian Lingcheng was back, so she came over with a cup of tea, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard Bian Lingcheng and Steward Gui talking about Zhao Ziliang, so she stopped and hid at the door to eavesdrop.
At this time, Steward Gui said again: "Master, in a few months, we will send troops to fight against the Turks, this time Zhao Ziliang will also go with the army, are we not contacting the Turks, once Zhao Ziliang has any moves, we will tell the Turks about his moves, and let the Turks deal with him!" ”
Steward Gui thought that as soon as this idea came out, Bian Lingcheng would definitely praise him, but he didn't expect Bian Lingcheng's face to change, and he got up and leaned over and asked with a cold face, "What did you say?" In repeated! ”
Steward Gui thought that Bian Lingcheng didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again: "Master, we can contact the Tuqi Shi people and report all Zhao Ziliang's actions to the Tuqi Shi people, and if there are Tuqi Shi people to deal with him, the villain will not believe that he Zhao Ziliang is so lucky every time!" ”
Bian Lingcheng suddenly slapped Steward Gui in the face, this slap made a clear sound, Steward Gui's face instantly swollen, and after the beating, Bian Lingcheng also scolded: "Dog slave, who do you think of me?" Master, I am a little small-bellied and narrow-minded, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, I will never do anything to betray Datang and betray Your Majesty! You dog slave actually asked my lord and me to report to the Turgi Shi people? Do you want me to do something unfaithful and unfilial? Do you have a brain on a pig's neck? The grievances between me and Zhao Ziliang don't need to be resolved by outsiders, my lord, I'd rather die in the hands of the surnamed Zhao than get into a foreign country! ”
Steward Gui was slapped hard, and was scolded again, and finally understood, but his old man can do such a thing for his own momentary will, he saw Bian Lingcheng's eyes flashing with fierce light, so frightened that he knelt on the ground and hugged Bian Lingcheng's thigh and cried loudly: "Master, the old slave knows that it is wrong, the old man is definitely not such a person, the old slave should die, he should not give the master such a bad idea!" The master should understand that the old slave has no second thoughts about the master, the master spares his life, spares his life! ”
Mrs. Meng walked in at the right time with a teacup, and pretended to be very surprised: "What's the matter?" Oops, Steward Gui, why are you on your knees? Oh, master, Steward Gui is an old man who has been with you for more than ten years, what kind of person is he, do you still know? Even if he makes a mistake for a while, he is still confused for a while, for the sake of his loyalty to you. For the sake of no merit and hard work, just spare him this time, huh? ”
Bian Lingcheng listened to Mrs. Meng's words, his tense face finally relaxed, and the fierce light in his eyes disappeared, and he said to Steward Gui: "Since Mrs. intercedes for you, I will spare you this time, and there will be no next time, understand?" ”
Steward Gui was so frightened that he almost came out with and urine, where did he dare not listen at this time, and he agreed without thinking about it: "Yes, yes, yes, master's words, the old slave has written it down, and there will never be a second time."
After Mrs. Meng came out of the main hall, she thought to herself that Zhao Lang had already returned from the land of Zhaowu Jiu, and he was fine, thank God! Presumably he is in the city or in the village in the city, right?
Back in the backyard, Mrs. Meng immediately shouted: "Cui'e, go and get ready, accompany me to buy some rouge gouache outside!" ”
"No!" (To be continued.) )
