Chapter 96: The Gamble
Ju Zheng and Wu Yashi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Molda, Shi Fei, Xuan Hao, and Hu Xu were confused and confused.
The crowd fell silent, and the whole tent fell into a deathly silence.
"Everyone in charge, there is a man who claims to be a second lieutenant outside the camp and asks to see him." One of the soldiers walked into the tent and saluted.
"The officers and soldiers sent someone?" The paper fan that Wu Yashi closed opened gently, fanned it a few times, and then suddenly closed it again, facing the right way. "Big brother, since you're worried about the character of this King of Pingnan, why don't we try him, how about it!"
"Oh?" Ju Zheng leaned forward slightly. "What is the second brother's plan, let's hear it."
Wu Yashi took a few steps forward and whispered in Ju Zheng's ear, then Ju Zheng patted his palm, stretched out his thumb, and smiled. "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan."
Turning to look at the soldier who had given the order, Ju Zheng continued. "Bring that second lieutenant here."
"Yes." The soldiers saluted, then got up and left.
In a short time, a young officer was taken to the Juzheng tent.
The officer was followed by two soldiers, one old and one young, the younger one was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his two eyes were glancing around in the big tent, Shi Fei and Hu Xu both looked at the young man with a dissatisfied expression, but he grinned like no one, and then continued to glance elsewhere. The other was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with a white face and no beard, his hand always held on the handle of the saber at his waist, and he looked cautious with every step.
"You are the second lieutenant of the officer sent by King Pingnan?" After looking at the three of them, Ju Zheng asked.
The second lieutenant of the official army is Yan Wu, and as for the two soldiers who followed him, the younger one was Zhao Shuo, and the other was Gonggong Feng.
Zhao Shuo came this time, the main purpose was to see what kind of person this Juzheng was. From the mouth of Hong Mengyang, the commander of Lanxi County, he knew that Ju Zheng was not a murderous person, and he was sympathetic to ordinary people, but he was ruthless to corrupt officials. This made Zhao Shuo full of curiosity, and today, seeing this jealous and hateful monk in person, Zhao Shuo's first reaction was that this person was the prototype of Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin". This made Zhao Shuo's favor for Ju Zheng greatly increased.
Zhao Shuo came to see people, and as for what to talk about, he gave full authority to Yan Wu.
After hearing Ju Zheng's inquiry, Yan Wu asked and nodded, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "This general is really the second lieutenant of King Pingnan, Yan Wu, this time I came here on the order of King Pingnan's general to persuade you to withdraw from the army."
"Hahaha~" Listening to Yan Wu's words, Ju Zheng laughed. "Retirement? Ensign Yan is joking. ”
"Ju Zhengda is in charge, do you think that Ben is joking?" Yan Wu said lightly.
"The strength of our army is several times that of King Pingnan, and there is enough food and grass, why do you want to retreat?" Ju Zheng snorted lightly. "It's not that I'm talking big, our army is rushing down with all our might, I'm afraid it will rely on the soldiers of King Pingnan......"
"Does the big boss really think that this can defeat King Pingnan?" Yan Wu showed a playful smile.
"What the hell are you trying to say? Let's put it bluntly. Wu Yashi shook the paper fan lightly, took two steps forward, and spoke.
"The explosion outside Lanxi City, you must have heard it!" Yan Wu chuckled. "Also, you should have heard of the explosion in Yanzhou City."
Ju Zheng and others knew about the Yanzhou explosion, but they got the news that Zhao Shuo was attacked in Yanzhou. As for who the attackers were, they still haven't guessed. And the sound of explosions outside Lanxi County made them even more speechless, because no one was attacking at that time, they were completely 'playing' with their own guns, and as for the reason for doing so, they were also puzzled.
Therefore, after Yan Wu said these two things, the leaders couldn't understand what Yan Wu wanted to say.
"Second Lieutenant Yan, we all know these things, what do you mean, please tell me." Wu Yashi pondered for a moment and spoke.
"If Ben said that these are all experiments on us, I wonder what the leaders think?" Yan Wu laughed.
"Experiments? Experimenting with the lives of your own generals? You think we're all three-year-olds, huh? Hu Xu said dissatisfied.
In the Yanzhou bombing, Ling Yun was knocked unconscious for many days and almost died, which they knew, which is also strong evidence that the attackers pointed at the mob, after all, no one would experiment with their generals' lives.
"Whether you believe it or not, some words will only be able to go so far." Yan Wu shook her head slightly. "Anyway, we have artillery shells in our hands, you should know that."
"You're threatening us?" Shi Fei frowned and snorted coldly.
"How dare you, how dare you." Yan Wu waved her hand. "I just don't want to add damage to both sides."
"What the hell are you here for?" Ju Zheng's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice.
Feeling the positive breath of the troops, Zhao Shuo gently poked Yan Wu's waist. Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was time to talk about the point.
"Don't be angry." Yan Wu bowed his hand slightly. "King Pingnan doesn't want to be an enemy of you, the purpose of my coming here is just to tell you that the housekeeper of Wuzhou Zhizhou has come to the camp of King Pingnan. According to the steward, Wuzhou reinforcements would arrive within three days. But according to the speculation of my prince, the Wuzhou army is likely to go straight to your rear Dazhai. ”
"Is that true?" Xuan, who had been speechless, asked.
"Today, the imperial court sent my prince to fight in the south, and the purpose is just to send my prince to death, so it is impossible to send people to support. And if you and my lord are fighting here, the rear will be empty. Then the governor of Wuzhou will not rescue the prince, so he will naturally attack your Dazhai. When the time comes, you and I will both lose and lose, and he will just take advantage of the fisherman. Yan Wu recited the truth analyzed by Zhao Shuo.
"What does the prince mean?" Wu Yashi asked suspiciously.
"In Lanxi County, the county commander Hong Mengyang said that Juzheng is in charge and does not disturb the people, but only kills corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so my lord does not want to fight with you. It was also a helpless move to hurt the copycat brothers today. Yan Wu sighed. After all, the housekeeper of Wuzhou Zhizhou is still in the big tent, so we have to do it. ”
"Then what do you mean by the cannonballs, and since you don't want to fight, why don't you withdraw your troops?" Hu Xu went straight and said unhappily at the moment.
"We talk about shells because we are not afraid of fighting. I say the latter because we don't want to fight. Yan Wu put away her smile and said seriously. Speaking of which, if you still have to fight, we will have to accompany you. ”
"What is the reason why you are not leaving when you confront us? I don't think King Pingnan will have such a good face. Wu Yashi stared at Yan Wu and asked.
"King Pingnan asked the housekeeper for grain and grass, and the housekeeper said that there would be reinforcements within three days, and the prince thought that if there were reinforcements, there would be some grain and grass, so he had to wait for three days." Under Zhao Shuo's signal, Yan Wu said truthfully.
"In that case, I don't think so, let's make a bet with King Pingnan, what does Ensign Yan think." After understanding that Zhao Shuo didn't really want to fight, and his character was okay, Ju Zheng spoke.
"Take a gamble?" Yan Wu was puzzled. "Bet on what?"
"Since King Pingnan is going to stay here for two more days, then I will accompany him for two days, and after two days, as soon as there is something on the cottage, I will immediately take someone away." Ju Zheng said with a smile.
Yan Wu was even more confused. "What do you want to say, boss?"
"I'm going to gamble with him in these two days." Ju Zheng said the plan he had discussed with Wu Yashi.
