Chapter 241: Old Feelings Are Not Severely Punished (Also Leave Slip)
'The general is the courage of the soldiers', the main general is like this, and the rest of the guards are also greatly encouraged. Therefore, when they saw Zhang Mingtong roaring and fighting with the enemy, the guards who were greatly encouraged couldn't help but roar one after another, gritted their teeth and used their strength to fight with the enemy on the opposite side.www.biquge.info
"Kill!!" Zhang Mingtong roared angrily. And with Zhang Mingtong's encouragement, the surrounding guards who were originally retreating step by step under the attack of Chu Laoqi and others, and fell behind, gradually recovered the situation, and even began to gradually gain the upper hand.
Seeing this scene, Chu Lao Qizi, who personally led more than 100 elite riders, was also furious. Therefore, when some of the horsemen beside him retreated under the counterattack of Zhang Mingtong and others, the angry Chu Laoqi couldn't help but kill a retreating horseman with a knife. And after that, he even carried the man's head and shouted: "How to win or lose, just fight here." Therefore, those who dare to retreat will die!! ”
roared like this, Chu Laoqi, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but urge his crotch to get off the war horse and meet him with a war knife.
Seeing this, the more than 100 elite horsemen under the command of Chu Laoqi, under the encouragement of Chu Laoqi's prestige and the pioneers, couldn't help but muster up their courage and launched a charge against Zhang Mingtong and them.
"Kill!!" Hundreds of cavalry on both sides roared fiercely, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they couldn't help but launch a desperate charge against the enemy.
"Die!" Another roar came. looked closely, but it was Zhang Mingtong and Li Erniu, who were wearing heavy armor, and they joined forces to kill two enemy horsemen.
I have to say that at this moment, Zhang Mingtong and Li Erniu, who are wearing heavy armor and borrowing horsepower, do seem brave and invincible. After all, these two people have been by Zhang Shihua's side for so long, and they can be said to have killed step by step from pawns to their current status.
Therefore, it is conceivable how the martial arts of these two people are.
Therefore, even though the cavalry under Chu Laoqi was regarded as one in a hundred, in the face of such two brave generals, they were still defeated by the two of them.
"Die!" After a roar and another knife killed a soldier on the opposite side, Zhang Mingtong, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but roar with red eyes: "You are waiting for Xiaoxiao, your grandfather Zhang is here." Who else dares to come and die! ”
"This, this, this ......" Seeing that Zhang Mingtong was so powerful, the dozens of elite horsemen on the opposite side couldn't help but be frightened by his terrifying heart, and their courage was greatly reduced, where else did they have the courage to face such a tiger warrior. Therefore, after Zhang Mingtong let out such an astonishing roar, these dozens of enemy horsemen couldn't help but ride their horses to bypass Zhang Mingtong's position, and no one in the whole army dared to face him.
And the guards behind Zhang Mingtong saw that their main general was so brave, and their morale was greatly boosted. Therefore, after the dozens of enemy horsemen were frightened by Zhang Mingtong and took a detour, more than 100 guards couldn't help but raise their arms and shouted: "Mighty!" Mighty! Mighty!!! ”
At this moment, although there were only 100 soldiers beside Zhang Mingtong. However, the 'mighty' sound shouted by the more than 100 elite soldiers in unison seemed like the thunder of the Nine Heavens.
Therefore, after that, the morale of the more than 100 elite cavalry led by Chu Laoqi could not help but decrease again and again, and after that, they were beaten by Zhang Mingtong and couldn't raise their heads.
"Ahh ~~ The thief is going to be rampant, see if I don't take your head! Seeing that the precious elite cavalry under his command fell one after another under the attack of Zhang Mingtong and others, Chu Laoqi, who was the cavalry of the royal power under the tent, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Therefore, when he saw that Zhang Mingtong and Li Erniu and the others were a little too rushed, Chu Lao couldn't help but roar like this. and led more than a dozen elite soldiers beside him to pat their horses to meet them.
"Die!" Chu Laoqi roared like this, and slashed at Zhang Mingtong with a knife on his horse.
Seeing this, Zhang Mingtong sideways dodged the attack of a person and handed that person to Li Erniu beside him to resist, so he couldn't help roaring in the same anger and slashed at Chu Laoqi with a knife.
"Bang! ~~" The weapons of the two slammed into the air violently, and the two powerful steel knives also sparked a burst of dazzling sparks when they collided.
But just when this spark illuminated the eyes of the people around him, a scream was heard at the same time.
When the "general" heard this scream, the cavalry fighting around him couldn't help but cast their concerned eyes over, wanting to see what the outcome was.
"It's not good, the seventh master died in battle!" In the next moment, when the surrounding soldiers saw Zhang Mingtong, who was covered in blood, holding Chu Laoqi's head, the elite horsemen under Chu Laoqi couldn't help but exclaim.
And hearing such an exclamation, those elite riders brought by Chu Laoqi also had no courage to be frightened. Therefore, when Zhang Mingtong roared and shouted to kill, these brave horsemen couldn't help but flee from this place like rabbits and flying horses.
And when such people fled, Zhana and Chen Xishan, who were hastily withdrawn from the front line, couldn't help but lead their respective men and horses to rush here.
"General, are you alright?" When Zhana and Chen Xishan, who had just come to support and protect, saw Zhang Mingtong covered in blood, the two with worried faces couldn't help but ask Zhang Mingtong like this.
When Zhang Mingtong heard this, he glanced at the soldiers around him who had just been withdrawn from the front line and looked extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "That's it, I fell for the plan of the king's power, and this Miyang City will not be able to be recaptured for a while." Order, withdraw the troops! ”
"This ......" Hearing Zhang Mingtong's words, Li Erniu, Zhana and the other three looked at each other, and then led the order in unison with joy on their faces: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
And at the same time, on the city of Miyang.
"It's not good, it's not good. The seventh master died in battle, and the seventh master died in battle. When the cavalry who had successfully escaped from the battlefield returned to Miyang City and brought back the news of Chu Laoqi's killing, the frightened Qianhu Wu Ba couldn't help but report loudly to the royal power.
And when he heard this, he was very frightened in his heart. Therefore, after Wu Ba said this, Wang Quan couldn't help but let Wu Ba recruit a cavalry who escaped from the battlefield, and asked the cavalry to tell the matter of Chu Laoqi dying in battle for what reason just now.
"Oh my God, this Zhang Mingtong is so brave!" When Wang Quan heard that Zhang Mingtong was raided by Chu Laoqi and his people, not only did he not flee, but he also put on armor and took the lead to boost morale, and after he killed Chu Laoqi in one fell swoop, Wang Quan, who was terrified in his heart, couldn't help but exclaim.
"General, do we still want to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" Seeing Wang Quan so frightened, Wu Ba, who was also extremely frightened, looked at Wang Quan and couldn't help frowning and asked.
And after hearing Wu Ba's words, Wang Quan glanced at the thousands of black-clothed troops outside the city who slowly withdrew and gradually disappeared into the night, Wang Quan couldn't help but shake his head violently and said, "No." Zhang Mingtong is a tiger, and we should not anger him unless we have to. ”
"The last general will obey!" Hearing Wang Quan say this, the generals who also felt this way also bowed with joy in their eyes.
When Wang Quan saw this scene, he couldn't help but think in frustration: "Hey, why doesn't my royal power have the same good luck as him Zhang Shihua." If I have loyal and brave generals like Guo Yu and Zhang Mingtong under my account, why should I worry about big things! ”
Thinking of this, Wang Quan, who was determined not to dare to compete head-on with Zhang Mingtong, couldn't help but sigh. And unconsciously gave birth to the idea of wanting to go south to the land of Jingxiang in his heart.
……
Almost three days later, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Zhang family in Wuyang was preparing for the wedding of Zhang Shihui and Second Sister Zhao with great fanfare, an urgent report from Nanyang Mansion was finally delivered to Zhang Shihua.
"What's wrong with the general, could it be that something happened to Nanyang Mansion City?" Looking at Zhang Shihua's gradually gloomy face, Zhao Ziyu, who was full of joy because of the wedding, couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and frowned and asked Zhang Shihua.
And Zhang Shihua heard Zhao Ziyu ask like this, and after a long sigh with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but hand the urgent report to Zhao Ziyu.
"I didn't expect that royal power to have such a trick, and now it's really a bit tricky to clean up this person." When Zhao Ziyu read the urgent report at a glance and ten lines, he couldn't help but sigh when he lowered his head and pondered.
Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua frowned and snorted coldly: "It's not Zhang Mingtong, if it weren't for his arrogance, he would be like this!" ”
"Hey!" Speaking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Passing on my military order, Zhang Mingtong, the deputy of Wanhu in Nanyang, has not known how to fulfill his duties in recent days, and without finding out the reason, he listened to slander and fought with friendly troops privately, and his crime was very serious, and he should have been executed. However, remembering his previous meritorious work and hard work, he was specially exempted from death, and after being demoted to his official position, he was allowed to perform meritorious service in the position of a thousand households."
"Alright, so be it." After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but rub his temples helplessly.
And Zhao Ziyu in the hall heard Zhang Shihua's words, although he had already guessed in his heart that Zhang Shihua would not punish Zhang Mingtong too much, but he really didn't expect Zhang Shihua to 'lift high and put down gently' like this. After all, this demotion or something, for a person like Zhang Mingtong, it is not a punishment at all.
Because judging from their status in Zhang Shihua's heart, it is not a matter of time before the official is reinstated or something. What's more, Zhang Shihua also allowed him to 'make meritorious contributions'. 'Wearing a crime and making meritorious service' What is a guilty meritorious service, isn't it just to let Zhang Mingtong continue to do his previous work?
So looking at it this way, except for Zhang Mingtong's name has changed, there is nothing else to do!
But at this moment, Zhao Ziyu likes Zhang Shihua's behavior of remembering the 'old love' very much. After all, he is not the junior officer in the army who just joined Zhang Shihua's command before. At that time, he had no power and nothing to rely on, and his only reliance was on his own ingenuity, so he naturally hoped that Zhang Shihua would be a master of rewards and punishments.
However, now he is not only the in-laws of the Zhang family, but also Zhang Shihua's military advisor, and he belongs to a pivotal henchman and think tank. Under the rising status and official position, Zhao Ziyu also hopes that Zhang Shihua can be a lord with human touch.
After all, 'no one can do anything wrong if he is not a saint or a sage'. Especially for a person like Zhao Ziyu, who has a lot of affairs, the possibility of mistakes in some aspects is simply not too great. And after taking 10,000 steps back, even if Zhao Ziyu does his duty, he will not make any mistakes. But what if their Zhao family has a gentleman, what if this gentleman has a big mistake by relying on his prestige.
So under such a calculation, it is not surprising that Zhao Ziyu has this idea in his heart.
Of course, this is not the time to think about this, because there are more important things to do. No, just as Zhang Shihua finished speaking, Zhao Ziyu in the hall looked at Zhang Shihua and couldn't help frowning and asked, "General, then do we want to move the royal power next?" ”
"Hey! ~~ The royal power cannot be moved for the time being. After all, this time Mingtong and Wang Quan only had a draw, and the matter was not a big deal, that is, an insignificant little thousand households died, and everything could still be fooled. But if we bite the bullet and do it to the king, then it will really be Sima Zhao's heart. ”
"So, General, what do you mean?" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but ask after frowning.
Hearing Zhao Ziyu's question, Zhang Shihua narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "That's it." Ziyu, you are sending me a secret order to Mingtong and him, and ask him to keep an eye on Nabu Wang San for me. If Nabu Wang San has the idea of going south, he will definitely drag it at all costs. ”
However, hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Ziyu frowned, but couldn't help but say worriedly: "General, if you don't pay any price, will it ...... It's going to make a big fuss. After all, King Bu is the third of him, but he is also the ten thousand households appointed by Marshal Liu himself. ”
"Don't worry about that. After all, according to his Liu Futong's plan, after ten months, there will be a big battle between our army and the Yuanmeng court. At that time, Liu Futong naturally knew how to choose. Moreover, 'the cunning rabbit is still three holes', we also have to leave a way back for ourselves. Saying this, the cold glint in Zhang Shihua's eyes couldn't help but become extremely prosperous.
Seeing Zhang Shihua like this, Zhao Ziyu, who was standing under the hall, couldn't help but bow his head in a hurry, not daring to look at Zhang Shihua's eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua put away the cold glint in his eyes, and at the same time, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhao Ziyu: "Okay, Ziyu, that's it." I beg you to go down and give me a commandment. ”
"The subordinate obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Ziyu, who had a sharp decrease in the pressure in his heart, couldn't help but quit the lobby with three steps and two steps after singing a fat promise like this.
