Chapter 203: Praying Mantis Yellow Sparrow
Zhang Chun squinted expressionlessly and sat still. It's not that he still has to put on a stand at this moment, but his teeth and throat are dry, and he doesn't want to talk more. Yang Ci walked to him, but first sent the surrounding soldiers farther away, looked around, and half-squatted down beside Zhang Chun.
Seeing his solemn appearance, Zhang Chun muttered in his heart, and he had to open his mouth if he didn't want to speak. "What...... What's going on, it's so mysterious! ”
"General! I don't know yet, I just received an urgent secret report from our own people, saying that the king has convened a court meeting, and he is very angry that we did not capture Xiangwu, and he expressed his position in public to remove the general from your position, and asked us to go back to Shangtai to confess our guilt! Yang Ci was gray-headed and hoarse, and he had not been able to survive for a long time.
"What!"
Zhang Chun was both shocked and angry, and suddenly stood up, attracting a lot of attention. Zhang Chun turned a blind eye, blew his hooked nose fiercely, bared his teeth and said: "I contributed to him, I want to die or live, what a great sin I have suffered!" Why, if you are a little unsatisfactory, you have to be dismissed? Okay, what a good master. ”
Raising his eyes and looking at the figure on Xiangwu City that made him extremely hated and unforgettable, Zhang Chun couldn't help but complain: "This Wu Xia is really a copper pea, and he can't chew it, and he can't smash it." I think he's hurt enough, but it's strange that he still doesn't die. Now I drag Lao Tzu here, which is depressing. ”
"Also, I heard that the remnants of the Longxi Army in Yinping have integrated their forces and have been led by Gao Yue to the north, intending to counterattack us. Wang Lian of Lintao, didn't he just send a letter asking for help, he is our own person, and it is difficult to ignore it, so we have to send 4,000 people to help him, and clearly tell him that he must resist it no matter what. I'm here, Xiangwu can't fight, and I have to be distracted to guard against the south, it's the time when I'm anxious, Chen An is going to come to join in the fun, Lao Tzu is really weak. ”
Yang Ci pulled Zhang Chun, Zhang Chunwu spontaneously complained, stiffened, and threw Yang Ci's hand straight away. Yang Ci hurriedly stomped his feet again and again, straightened up, approached and said, "General, leave him alone for now, I haven't gotten to the point yet!" The king has appointed a man to take your place as the commander of the whole army, and the edict of the condemnation of the condemnation of the crime is also brought with him, and he is to declare it in public, and then escort you and me back. ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu is definitely not good for the passing year, even the big seal of General Pingxi in the past two days, I don't know where to get it, I just can't find it, and now the bad news is one after another, it's too unlucky! Phew, which one dares to replace Lao Tzu? Hu Song, right? Don't look at him as a town army general, Lao Tzu is ...... at all"
"What! There is no such thing as Hu Song, it is Chen An! ”
Chen An's words were forcibly blocked in Zhang Chun's mouth. He opened his mouth in disbelief, but seeing Yang Ci's firm nodding indicating that he was not mistaken, Zhang Chun's face turned red to white and white, and his resentment and hatred seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, digging into his heart fiercely.
"Chen An has been promoted to a rebellious general, and the king has allocated him another 5,000 men, and now he is halfway there, and he will arrive at the city of Xiangwu in a few days. General, what shall we do? ”
Without waiting for Yang Ci to pull it, Zhang Chun had already sat down. This news added fuel to the fire, making his toothache even worse, and he couldn't help but slap his cheek heavily, which seemed to be able to relieve it a little.
"We have followed the prince for many years, not to mention the credit, the hard work is also innumerable. Today, once you turn your face, it's really chilling. Putting aside the distrust of the old department, but wholeheartedly promoting a person like Chen An who took refuge halfway, I really can't swallow this bad breath! ”
"Besides, Chen An's thief is arrogant and rude, and he has never bought Lao Tzu's account." Zhang Chun stared at his reddened eyes and spewed out, "Now that I have climbed up, I am even more villainous, and I will definitely humiliate us in public." As soon as I thought of this, Lao Tzu couldn't sleep and eat, no matter what, we couldn't watch him come and and pee on our heads! ”
Yang Ci muttered again and again what to do, with a frustrated and anxious face.
Zhang Chun glanced sideways in annoyance, panting and secretly pondering countermeasures, for a moment, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Chen An is coming, who else knows about it here?" ”
"I'm the only one, and after I got the secret report, I immediately came to report to the general, so no one in the army knows about it at present."
"Good! In that case, then we don't know about it. Do you remember what I told you? ”
Yang Ci blinked his blank eyes, his mind was full of thoughts, and he suddenly shouted: "General refers to those words you told me after Chen An had just defected to the king's court meeting?" He made a downward cut gesture with his right hand.
Zhang Chun quickly glanced around vigilantly, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, Fang lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Be quiet!" Don't be surprised, since this is the case, we must not sit idly by. Find someone who can be trusted, touch it head-on, and find an opportunity to stab Chen An with a knife. Chen An is dead, how can he replace and escort us. Isn't it the best if it's a hundred? ”
"But in case the matter is revealed, or the king suspects ......"
"Listen to me. After the matter is completed, how can there be revelations if you kill people immediately? Even if the king suspected, the assassins could not be found at that time, Chen An was dead, and people did not die with us, so we knew nothing from beginning to end. There is no evidence, how can we say that we did it, you can rest assured. ”
"But in case ...... day later"
"Why are you so much? How can men do things so forward-looking! In the future, if you talk about the future, you can take one step at a time and adapt to the situation. Besides, at the moment, there is only such an emergency way to overcome this hurdle. Do you really wait for the man surnamed Chen to come over, and then tie us up and escort us back after humiliation, and be questioned by the court again like a water dog? ”
Yang Ci gritted his teeth, his face changed, he slapped his thigh heavily for a moment, and said viciously: "Okay! If you don't do it, he's unkind and unjust, fuck him, let's think more about the details, don't fall short. ”
The two of them leaned together and whispered. But where did they think that more than a mile away behind them, on a certain dirt mountain known as the old turtle's back, in the chaotic woods facing the shadows, a heavily armed army, silently and silently, hid here. A big man with a majestic body, but he bent down behind an old tree stump, and from time to time poked his head out to look down the mountain. Following his gaze condescendingly, under the mountain in the distance was the camp of Zhang Chun's Jin army surrounded by Xiangwu City.
"Zhou Dushuai, do you want to send someone to answer again?"
A lieutenant approached the big man and lowered his voice. The big man turned his head, it was Zhou Panlong, the commander of the Longxi Death Army, and the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang. This army is also the top elite in the Longxi Army - the Death Army.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Panlong shook his head and said, "No." Since the lord has ordered me to wait here, I must resolutely carry out the order. The lord is very skilled and experienced, he is just going down the mountain alone, and he has to quietly approach to check the enemy's situation, and he doesn't jump out to fight alone, there should be no problem, let's wait first. ”
An hour ago, Gao Yue personally led the army to seek death, from Xinxing City all the way to the west, when he was about to reach Xiangwu, he turned to hide in the mountains first, condescendingly looking, the entire Jin army camp was in full view, where there were many soldiers, where the generals were few, basically you could see the approximate. But after all, the distance is still far away, in order to further grasp the enemy's situation, Gao Yue took off his armor, changed his disguise slightly, stopped everyone's stopping, and did not want anyone to follow, and slipped down the mountain alone to the border of the Jin army's camp, wanting to make a detailed investigation.
Even so, Zhou Panlong was also a little anxious in his heart, but it was not good to show it in front of his subordinates, so as not to cause instability in the army's heart. When his heart began to become impatient, he finally saw Gao Yue return safely from a distance, and when he got closer, he even came back with a person.
The crowd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Gao Yue didn't think so, in his previous life, he was really skilled in doing such a thing, and he was always in danger, and he didn't lose a single hair. But seeing everyone's sincere concern, it was also very heartwarming at the moment.
"Lord, when you were away, it happened that the messenger from the south came to report that General Han had recovered Lintao City."
