Chapter 120: Sacrificial Flag
Wu Ming rushed to a small city thirty miles outside Daliang City late at night, a day's rush made him tired and hungry, the night weather was cold, and Wu Ming was injured, there was no saddle These things, riding on horseback for a day on both sides of the crotch is already painful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was already dark, so Wu Ming simply found an inn in this small city and stayed there. At the same time, he also asked the second child in the palace to find a doctor to change the medicine again, and bandaged the wound again before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, when most of the people had gone out, Wu Ming had already left the inn, rode on his horse and went straight to the beam.
When she returned to Daliang again, she did not go to the court as soon as possible, but went to her mansion first.
Riding on horseback, Wu Ming saw the extra guards outside his mansion from a distance, and the moment he saw these people, Wu Ming's heart was like pressing a heavy stone.
The handsome face suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't help but urge the war horse under his crotch to speed up.
"Driving-" A war horse passed between the two pedestrians, almost knocking over the things they were carrying. In a short distance, after a few breaths, Wu Ming turned over and dismounted, and walked to the front of the mansion without the slightest pause.
At this moment, a soldier raised the weapon in his hand and blocked Wu Ming's way to the middle: "The king has an order that no one is allowed to enter and leave the general's mansion without permission, and those who violate the order will be put on death row." ”
The cold voice was like a bolt from the blue that woke up Wu Ming's consciousness. It wasn't until the voice finished speaking that Wu Ming realized that these guards were all the pro-soldiers of King Wei Hui, no wonder they didn't know the owner of his mansion.
Wu Ming had to take two steps back, and was about to explain something, when a general suddenly came out of the door, the general was stunned when he saw Wu Ming, and then walked out directly, slightly arched in front of Wu Ming, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "How about the general take a step to speak?" ”
Before the words fell, the general had already straightened up and pushed Wu Ming towards a slightly farther place.
It was only then that the general said again, "General, the king has asked you to wait for you to come back, saying that if he sees you returning to the house, he will let you enter the palace alone to meet you, and you must not disclose this matter to anyone else." ”
"What the hell is going on? Why are you here? Ignoring the so-called king's commandment, Wu Ming asked anxiously.
"It's a long story, Lord Xiangguo didn't know where he learned that you were no longer in the army, in short, he and Gongzi impeached you in the court, saying that you abused your power and took risks regardless of the safety of the border. In short, there are too many courtiers involved in this matter, and they are all important figures, and there is nothing the king can do for a while. You can only temporarily remove your position as a general and be temporarily replaced by a young man. ”
"Replace the son?" When he said this, Wu Ming's face had a faint surprise on his face, "But that Wei Wei Gongzi who is idle all day long, collecting swordsmen and bullying the people?" ”
"Exactly." The general nodded and replied softly.
"And where is he now?"
"I was already in the army after yesterday's court meeting."
I haven't seen this so-called Gongzi Wei yet, but Wu Ming has some impressions and has heard people mention him in the past few months.
But at this time, when he heard that King Wei Hui had asked him to serve as a general, his face changed suddenly. If the already empty Wei State goes through his toss, I am afraid that it can really only follow the original track of history.
Wei ceased to be the overlord of the Central Plains and languished until it was destroyed by Qin. This is a scene that Wu Ming never wants to see again. has been trying his best to support the last fierce side of the Wei State, but he doesn't want to end up like this.
King Hui once said that he would hand over all the marching matters to himself, but when he thought about it at this time, the king always had selfish intentions, and some people said that the king could do whatever it took to succeed, and he would accompany the king like a tiger, and he should retire when he succeeded. I haven't been a success yet. But it can be regarded as an experience of what it means to accompany the king like a tiger, and sometimes the king's words are really not fully believed.
After hearing that Gongzi Wei had gone to the army after yesterday's court meeting, Wu Ming was even more anxious, and couldn't help but say that he was about to turn over and get on the horse.
But at this time, the general grabbed him, "Where does the general want to go?" ”
"Out-of-town barracks." Wu Ming turned his face abruptly and said anxiously.
Hearing this, the general also became anxious instantly, only to see him turn around and block in front of Wu Ming with a bitter face, and spread his hands and said, "No, you can't go anywhere." Please also listen to the words of the last general, and go to meet the king first! ”
"Get out of the way."
"This is the king's edict, and I also ask General Mo Yan to embarrass his subordinates."
"Why?" Letting go of the hand that was pulling with the general, the fisherman looked at him with an anxious face, "If the gentleman asks, I Wu Ming will bear it, you will get out of the way for me." ”
"No, you really can't go. Hey, oh—"
"Son-in-law? What's wrong with him, are you hiding something from me? ”
"The Manchu Dynasty civil and military personnel who have been dressed for your leading army to invade and occupy Xincheng in South Korea are well known, and the monarch is also very happy, but the Lord Xiangguo insists that you deceived the monarch and lied about the military situation. This matter was borne by General Ni Tao, who guarded the army, and it was said that the son of Wei would use Ni Tao's blood to sacrifice the flag when he took office. Now that you have no official position, Xiangguo is still not giving up, and you still have to be held accountable, so it is better for you to meet the king first. ”
"Flags?" Before the general finished speaking, Wu Ming had already grabbed his arm and pushed him aside, "Get out of the way." ”
Before the general could reflect, Wu Ming had neatly turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped away with his legs and the horse's belly.
"Hey-" The general behind him stood firm and was about to shout into the distance, but saw that Wu Ming had already gone away.
……
In the barracks outside the city. All the soldiers in the early morning were weak one by one.
The original breakfast time was directly canceled by Gongziwei, and with the sound of an emergency assembly horn, the original dinner time of the 20,000 soldiers became the time to assemble on the school grounds.
In the cold morning, the soldiers kept yawning, their mouths swallowing clouds and mist, and their eyes were also sleepy.
On the high platform, there is no son, no swordsman, some is a sword and axeman, and the fluttering banner is hung high.
Under the flag, in the middle of the high platform, Ni Tao, who was still wearing armor, was tied up with five flowers. His tired face was obscured by his messy hair, and he knelt and curled up, his head hanging deeply throughout.
On the side of the high platform is a bare meadow. On the ground, a few cases were placed smoothly, and a beautiful hourglass on a few cases passed silently.
"General, the time is up." The swordsman who had been holding the hourglass reminded in a whisper.
Hearing the voice, the young man who was sitting upright on one side slowly stood up and looked up at the high platform, "You can start." ”
