Chapter 118: Childe takes office
In the cold room, the only brazier still squeaked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
couldn't help but feel that Zhang Meng's beard was already wrinkled together, and at this time he really didn't know what to do, and one decision after another floated in his mind like a cloud of smoke but was vetoed by him.
Seeing Zhang Meng's hesitation, the thousand generals slowly spoke again, "With all due respect, the defenders of the surrounding border cities are not enough to stop the 60,000 Zhao troops, even if they retreat, the general will not blame me for waiting." ”
This voice was more like a reminder of something to Zhang Meng.
"Hey......" Zhang Meng finally sighed softly, propped his calloused palms on a few cases, and sighed: "Wait, can't we still keep it!" If the Zhao army's forces attack us, although there is some trouble, it is not impossible to attack. Since the Zhao army did not attack, there were only two possibilities, one was that they did not know how many troops there were in the city. The second is that they don't want to consume too much either. These two points are beneficial to us at the moment, in short, it is a day to be able to hold Zhao Jun back. ”
"Then what if the Zhao army captures Xiangcheng? Or at this time, we are already preparing to attack Xiangcheng, do we still want to send troops to help! ”
This question immediately made Zhang Meng not know what to say. There always seemed to be a constant problem for him to face.
"Originally, the defenders of Xiangcheng would defend Xiangcheng to the death, if the Zhao army really attacked the city, as a warrior of the Great Wei, he should be loyal to the country. It's just that then we were afraid we had to leave—"
While saying this, Zhang Meng still decided in his heart that if the Zhao army attacked Xiangcheng, the defenders of Fangcheng could only take the opportunity to evacuate. He could not bury all the defenders in his own hands. In his heart, maybe Wu Ming will have a way to retreat from the enemy. The reason why the 8,000 defenders, who were already small, were assigned to Xiangcheng and Fangcheng to guard was to confuse the Zhao army, so that the Zhao army did not dare to rashly invest in attacking the city with all its might.
But once the Zhao army attacked the city with all its might, it was impossible to form a supporting situation with today's troops, if the Zhao army attacked a city with all its might, and the defenders in another place rushed to help, I was afraid that after the defenders arrived, the end would be tantamount to throwing themselves into the tiger's mouth.
Therefore, once the plan is discovered, one city will definitely be lost, and sacrifice is inevitable, but the other city must be evacuated as soon as possible. Only one empty city was left for the soldiers of Zhao State to deal with.
But what Zhang Meng didn't know was that Xiangcheng had already changed hands at this time. The same Zhao Yong didn't know what Zhang Meng was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have camped outside the cold city and watched the changes. Instead, they stayed directly in Xiangcheng.
……
At this moment, Wu Ming was still galloping on the official road to Daliang. The wind swept across his sides, and the cold that penetrated his body made him feel extraordinarily awake. But he was completely unaware of some changes in the court, and he didn't know that he, the general, had been helplessly evacuated by King Wei Hui in the early morning.
What was waiting for him at this time was a dispute, which was naturally full of variables, but for Wu Ming, there were not many favorable things after all.
There are hardly any courtiers who can really come in handy with the ministers in charge of the central government who do not come forward to impeach him. He didn't know that King Wei Hui, who had always been fond of him at this moment, also had a headache.
In just one day, the Wei State, which was already suffering from external troubles, had a series of internal shocks. The general deceived the king, and finally the crime was carried down by a general, and the general finally ended up being dismissed and waiting to be returned to Daliang to await trial.
The 20,000 troops originally led by Ni Tao changed generals in an instant, and they directly changed generals. As soon as King Wei Hui's edict reached the barracks, there was a commotion in the army, and all the soldiers were speculating about what had happened recently, and they were all wondering what had happened to Wu Ming! After all, a considerable number of them were new soldiers in Hedong, and they were going for Wu Ming's reputation in Hedong.
In just a few days, they defeated the South Korean army, but what they ushered in was not a reward, but a change of generals! This great change was like a dark cloud, which weighed on the hearts of many soldiers.
At noon, under the orders of several other powerful generals in the army, the army began to light a fire and cook.
After lunch, the sun has begun to set in the west. It was also in the silence of the soldiers that the horn of the emergency assembly sounded from the school grounds. And soon like clouds and rain, it spread all over the sky of the entire military camp station.
The 20,000 soldiers were awakened like children awakening from sleep.
"Quick, everyone immediately assembles at the school grounds, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." A few thousand people who understood what was going on would keep running ahead of the barracks and directing some large armies to go.
On the east side of the school field, on the high platform, Gongzi Wei stood on the high platform wearing a battle armor and holding a war sword in the wind, and the gray big sword behind him swayed with the wind, but this battle armor did not match his own look.
Behind him was a swordsman in civilian clothes, who looked like a sharp sword, and his face was proud, as if there was no rival in the world.
Below, on each side of the platform, there were also four swordsmen standing proudly, staring coldly at the assembled army.
In a short period of time, the 20,000 army had all assembled on the school field, and looking at the two huge phalanxes below, the corners of Gongzi's mouth slowly showed a chuckle. Then, the face suddenly changed hideous, "Soldiers, I think you have heard that from today onwards, the army of my Wei State will be led by Ben Gongzi, and Ben Gongzi is the new general. In addition, everyone must have heard that the former general Wu Ming disregarded the number of etiquette and abused his power, and the general also heard that the army was loose when he was in the army, and it was precisely because of his loose style that today's disaster occurred. Therefore, today's general will explain in advance that from today onwards, our army will act in accordance with military discipline, but there are those who disobey military law. ”
The cold voice gradually drifted away with the wind, and the soldiers who passed the order began to run between the phalanxes, passing Gongzi's password.
The army began to become agitated at this moment. Because many soldiers didn't know the rules in the army before Wu Ming, they only knew the rules after Wu Ming's reform. And looking at the ugly faces of those veterans, they seem to know what life will be like in the future.
"Then dare to ask Gongzi, since we have won the battle, why didn't the king reward him, but removed the general, and Ni Shen was arrested by Gongzi and where did he go now? The last general was puzzled, presumably many soldiers in the army were the same, and asked Gongzi to give us an answer. At that moment, a centurion standing in front of him tore his throat and shouted towards the high platform.
"Presumptuous." On the high platform, Gongzi Wei was already full of anger, stretched out a hand and pointed directly at the centurion and said: "This prince is now qualified for the position of general, and Mo Feier and the others have not heard my king's edict." Come, drag this man down and give him a heavy responsibility for fifty soldiers, remove this man from the position of centurion, and demote him to a soldier. ”
