Chapter 331: Taken
Zhang Yong smiled: "If you want to be an official, kill people, set fires, and be recruited, do you still need to ask?" ”
made this joke, he sighed and said: "Back then, I didn't wait for the cruelty of the Jin people, so I raised an uprising and threw myself into the hands of the Kaifeng Sect Master to serve the country. At the beginning, we were already officials, and we were very trusted by Grandpa Zong. It's a pity, Du Chong has no virtue and no talent, and he is jealous of us, so we were forced to go out of Kaifeng and become a rogue. In fact, I was unwilling in my heart. Now everyone is struggling to survive here, and I don't have a charter, right? If the court doesn't hold me accountable for my sins, I might as well recruit you. Like Li Cheng, he can be a military envoy and find food for his subordinates. ”
"Yes, anyway, we will all come back to this point sooner or later, this is the clear way." Shang Yuan nodded, deeply convinced. However, he smiled bitterly and said: "Killing, arson, being recruited, who is recruiting, it's hard to say?" ”
"Silk ......" Zhang Yong was shocked, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said coldly: "We, do you want to be recruited by women?" Hehe, a dignified seven-foot man, if you can be a slave of the Tartars? ”
"Brother Alliance Leader, are you going to kill me?" Shang Yuan smiled bitterly: "If I become a traitor, I don't need you to kill me, I will be so ashamed that I will die under the horse." Otherwise, if the Liao people shaved their hair and tied up their pigtails, what face would they have to see their ancestors in the future? I was also a big man in Hebei at the beginning, if I wanted to be a Jurchen slave, I would have defected to the enemy at the beginning, at least I was a magistrate, I couldn't get a general, why bother with his soldiers, and then go all the way south? I got a piece of news, it seems that Cao Cheng and several other leaders have signs of descending to the female truth, and I came to see you today, even if I talk to you about it. ”
"Ahh Zhang Yong was taken aback: "How is it possible, Cao Cheng wants to be a traitor?" No, no, no, I believe that Brother Cao is not such a person, most of his relatives died under the Jurchen knife back then. There is an inextricable blood feud with the Tartars, and he will not do this, it is not good to say that the other leaders are shaken. ”
Shang Yuan: "It's hard to say, anyway, Cao Cheng gathered everyone to discuss today, and he will know when he gets to the ground." ”
Zhang Yong's face was awe-inspiring: "Okay, go over and take a look, but if someone wants to be a traitor, they can't!" ”
The two led their guards all the way, and finally arrived at Cao Cheng's old camp when it was dark.
Caocheng's old camp was stationed in a manor outside the county seat, and after the war, the county seat of Suixian County had become a ruin, and the city wall had long been uprooted by the Jurchens who had not invaded in which year, and there was no way to live in that place.
But this manor is very good, in a huge hall, Zhang Yong and Shang Yuan just walked in, and found that the leaders of each family had already come, and everyone's faces were very strange, some were pale, some were full of depression, and some were excited.
A dozen or so arm-thick candles illuminated the inside.
"All the brothers are here, Brother Cao, I don't know what it is about recruiting everyone here overnight?" Zhang Yong asked.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed their hands one after another: "I've seen the alliance leader." "I've seen Brother Zhang."
It is said that Zhang Yong is the leader of the alliance and should be seated. But at this moment, Cao Cheng was sitting in a big position, and Cao Yong and Yang Zaixing were standing next to him, and he must not have the intention of giving up his seat.
Zhang Yong didn't bother to be angry with him, the so-called righteous army has always been based on strength, and if there are no soldiers, no one will take you seriously. He looked and saw that there were two empty seats at the front on the left, so he walked over with Shang Yuan and sat down.
"Alright, everyone is here, let's start discussing." Cao Cheng slapped his face: "Leaders, we have been resting in Suizhou for more than two months, all departments have been replenished, and morale has been restored." But Suizhou has many mountains and few people, and it is not a place to raise soldiers, and if you stay like this, this place will be eaten up by everyone, and you have to find another way. ”
Someone nodded: "Brother Cao is right, you can't stay any longer, you have to change places to grow." ”
Cao Cheng: "Change the place to grow your hair, do you have a good place to go?" ”
The man laughed, "How do I know, anyway, where to hit is counted." ”
Cao Cheng snorted: "You are also a person who has no opinions, and it is nonsense to say more words to you." Ladies and gentlemen, there is no place in this area that can be said to be rich enough to raise soldiers than Jianghan. Wang Shen's enmity with us is as deep as the sea, and how many brothers are bad in his hands, and this revenge will not be avenged by a gentleman. The king thief is in Hunan, and the group of thieves has no leader, so it is a good time for us to go south through Anlu. However, the king thief sent an army to defend a few passes, but we couldn't get through, so that we missed the fighter, which is extremely annoying! Zhang Yong, you stand up! ”
There was a loud shout, and the sound buzzed through the hall.
Zhang Yong, as the leader of the alliance and the leading brother of everyone, when was his name called so directly, his face flashed, and Huo stood up: "Cao Cheng, what do you want to say?" ”
Cao Cheng shouted: "As the vanguard of the army, you actually confronted the Sizhou army across the mountain, and did not send a single soldier, what do you want to do?" ”
This is already a face-rending reprimand.
Zhang Yong said angrily: "What do I want to do, my department only has a thousand remnants, how can I attack Wang Shen's fortified village?" Also, after everyone sent troops, Wang Shen broke the enemy's garrison and couldn't defeat the other soldiers and horses in Yingshan? ”
"Fuck your shit!" Cao Cheng sneered: "It's clear that you colluded with the Sizhou Army and wanted to be recruited by the imperial court, and you should work together to earn me and other brothers." Since you don't care about brotherhood, then don't blame me for being ruthless and take it! ”
Before Zhang Yong could come back to his senses, he heard a rumbling sound, and a team of armor soldiers rushed out of the side door and pressed him to the ground.
This sudden scene almost made it impossible for people to react, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yong was full of man.
Shang Yuan was shocked, and with a loud shout, he whipped the iron whip hanging on his waist and knocked the two armorers over: "What are you doing?" ”
"Kill!"
With Cao Cheng's shout, Cao Liangxueliang's knife had already taken the first step towards Zhang Yong on the ground.
Blood splattered.
It was not Zhang Yong who died, it turned out that after Fang Cai Shangyuan whipped the two of them away, Zhang Yong felt that his body was loose, and he immediately broke free of the restraints, and the knife in his hand instantly cut down the two of them.
Shang Yuan scolded: "Cao Cheng, what are you going to do, do you want to harm Brother Zhang?" Allianceism is thin and cloudy, but what can't you do? ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yong had already grabbed his hand: "Go!" The hand knife in his hand had already stabbed one of the armorers in the throat, and he slammed into the shoulder.
The two of them rushed towards the door of the hall like electricity.
From beginning to end, the leaders of the other rebel armies watched from the sidelines, and Zhang understood in his heart that these people had already colluded with Cao Cheng.
It's useless to say anything now, so I can only find a way to rush out, join up with the guards outside, and maybe fight my way out with a fast horse.
