Chapter 325 Stationed in Xingyang
"Forgive me, two generals in the city! I didn't mean to offend, but I just shot the voucher at the head of the city and let the two generals verify it! At this time, another shout sounded from the military formation of soldiers and horses outside the city. Immediately afterwards, another horse walked out of the military formation, only to see that this person was about the same age as the previous young general, but he looked like a tiger's back, with a square face, a jujube face, and a longbow in his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this young general shouted loudly towards the city: "Under it, it is Zhang Shuai's subordinate general Qin Qiong!" Come to Xingyang on the order of Zhang Shuai! Zhang Shuai's army will arrive soon! ”
At the head of the city, some soldiers have already taken down the arrow nailed to the flagpole, but on the arrow, there is a soldier talisman, on which are engraved the two big characters of "counterinsurgency", and on the other side, it is engraved with a column of four small characters of "squadron thousand people". As soon as they saw this talisman, Vice General Zhang and Vice General Liu were shocked, the meaning of this talisman is not simple, this is the real counterinsurgency army talisman! With this talisman alone, you can mobilize a thousand counterinsurgency troops! The two checked it several times, and this talisman was indeed true and correct, and immediately Vice General Zhang immediately turned his head and shouted: "Quick!" Fast! Open the gates! Welcome the two generals into the city! ”
The counterinsurgency army is famous all over the world, and no one has heard of anyone defeating a thousand-person counterinsurgency army, so since this soldier is true, the soldiers and horses outside the city are really General Zhang Xutuo's subordinates! Vice General Zhang and Vice General Liu naturally didn't dare to lock Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses outside the city and not let them in! After giving the order, Vice General Zhang paused, but turned to Vice General Liu and said, "General Liu! You'd better hurry up and go to the Taishou Mansion to inform the Taishou-sama! To greet General Zhang Xutuo, it's not enough to rely on the two of us! ”
Although Zhang Xutuo is only serving as a small general guard in Xingyang City, the counterinsurgency army led by Zhang Xutuo is the first of the four strong soldiers of the Great Sui, and in terms of strength, it is only inferior to the Imperial Forest Army around the Son of Heaven! In contrast, Vice General Zhang and Vice General Liu are just a small deputy general, not well-known, and they are indeed not qualified to meet Zhang Xutuo. And in the entire Xingyang City, the only one who is qualified is Yang Qing, the king of Xun, who is still trembling in his own bed in the Taishou Mansion! Vice General Liu also understood this truth, and even turned around and rushed towards the city. And Vice General Zhang also immediately shouted to the left and right: "Quick! Get out of here! Don't be rude to General Zhang Xutuo's generals! The two generals also asked for a moment, the last general has already ordered the city gate to be opened! The last two sentences of Vice General Zhang were shouted at the soldiers and horses outside the city.
Outside the city, Qin Qiong smiled and threw the longbow in his hand back to the soldiers behind him, rode to Luo Shixin's side, looked at Luo Shixin and said, "Shixin! At least before pacifying Wagangzhai, Zhang Shuai will continue to serve in this Xingyang, and if we have a grudge with the local soldiers and horses in this Xingyang, we will only cause trouble for Zhang Shuai! Isn't that an easy solution now? ”
"Humph!" Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Luo Shixin just snorted, but his face was full of unhappiness. The previous dispute between him and Vice General Zhang and Vice General Liu was also deliberately done by Luo Shixin! In fact, all of this is also due to the fact that Zhang Xutuo was appointed as the general guard of Xingyang this time. Before Zhang Xutuo was ordered to come to clear Wagangzhai, just in time for Wagangzhai to raid Luokoucang, Zhang Xutuo led the troops to repel the thieves in Wagangzhai, and assisted the defenders to guard Luokoucang to prevent thieves from coming back. Originally, Luo Shixin thought that this time the Holy Lord would let Zhang Xutuo lead the soldiers and horses in the entire Xingyang region and assist in clearing Wagangzhai, but he didn't expect that the holy decree would come down and let Zhang Xutuo serve as the general guard of Xingyang and be the subordinate of Yang Qing, the king of Xun!
In Luo Shixin's mind, Zhang Xutuo is an invincible hero, and now Zhang Xutuo is actually going to be subservient, which makes Luo Shixin feel very unhappy, so he started to think and specially applied to Zhang Xutuo for the position of pioneer, just to catch the Xingyang defenders by surprise and kill the other party's prestige! It is precisely because of this that there is this previous scene.
And Qin Qiong is thoughtful, he and Luo Shixin are fellow villagers, and they enlisted in the army at the same time, the two have known each other for many years, so they naturally saw Luo Shixin's thoughts early on. Although Qin Qiong was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Xutuo's treatment like this, Qin Qiong was more knowledgeable than Luo Shixin, and knew that if there was a stalemate with the Xingyang defenders, it would only be detrimental to Zhang Xutuo's next actions, so he would shoot an arrow to solve the matter!
Although what Qin Qiong said just now was reasonable, Luo Shi was still very unconvinced in his confidence, and said to Qin Qiong: "Old Qin! With the strength of our counterinsurgency army, why care about these shrimp soldiers and crab generals? What kind of bullshit tile gangzhai, as long as Zhang Shuai's army is dispatched to exterminate them all, why bother with these useless people? ”
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Shixin! Don't underestimate this Wagangzhai, before I came, I had already heard that this Wagangzhai had several confrontations with Wang Shichong's Jianghuai soldiers, but even Wang Shichong had no way to take this Wagangzhai! Wang Shichong's Jianghuai soldiers are the same elite division as our counterinsurgency army, so it can be seen that this Wagangzhai is different from the bandits we have encountered before! Be careful! Although the defenders of Xingyang City are not as good as us, after all, they have dealt with Wagangzhai and fought on the battlefield, and with their help, Zhang Shuai's next action will definitely be twice the result with half the effort! ”
Qin Qiong's words are reasonable, even if Luo Shixin wants to refute, but this mouth is really unfavorable, so he can only close his mouth and hum. At this time, the city gate also squeaked, slowly opened, and walked out of the city gate, but it was Deputy General Zhang who was at the head of the city before. I saw that the deputy general Zhang led the soldiers and horses out of the city gate quickly, and when he saw Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, he directly greeted them.
Seeing the other party coming over, Qin Qiong glanced at Luo Shixin, and also turned over and dismounted directly, and walked towards Vice General Zhang, while walking, he hugged his fist at Vice General Zhang and said: "I was offended just now, please don't be surprised!" Although Qin Qiong didn't recognize the other party, she didn't recognize the other party as Yang Qing, the king of Xun who had been clothed and fed since childhood, after all, the other party knew at a glance that he was a general who had been on the battlefield all year round.
Perhaps Qin Qiong's attitude was very relaxed, so that Deputy General Zhang, who was nervous in his heart, gradually relaxed his heart, walked up to Qin Qiong, and said to Qin Qiong with a ashamed face: "General! The previous incident should be Zhang's fault, and I want the general to forgive me! Yes! This is the general's talisman, please take it back! As he spoke, Deputy General Zhang held the talisman that Qin Qiong had shot at the head of the city with both hands and sent it to Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong smiled faintly and took the talisman over, but at the same time he helped Vice General Zhang up, and said with a smile: "General Zhang doesn't have to blame himself too much, I think that General Zhang's previous caution is very appropriate!" We must also work together to exterminate the thieves in Wagangzhai, and in the future, we will ask General Zhang for more help! ”
"You're welcome! Polite! "Vice General Zhang has been in the army for many years, and he is also a smart person, so he immediately saw that among Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong is better to talk, but Luo Shixin's temper is short-tempered, and he must not offend this person, and then, Vice General Zhang also exchanged a few words with Luo Shixin, and patted Luo Shixin and Zhang Xutuo's sycophants a little in his words, and Luo Shixin's stinky face was slightly relieved.
Soon, the 3,000 counterinsurgency army under Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin had already entered Xingyang City, Qin Qiong glanced around the city gate, and asked Deputy General Zhang who was beside him: "General Zhang, dare to ask where His Royal Highness King Xun is?" Since we are Zhang Shuai's pioneers, we should go to visit His Royal Highness King Xun first! ”
"This ......" Hearing Qin Qiong ask about Yang Qing, Deputy General Zhang's face couldn't help but show embarrassment, although he was also extremely disdainful of Yang Qing, but on the surface, he was still Yang Qing's subordinate. In front of Qin Qiong, if Vice General Zhang directly said that Yang Qing was so frightened that he was hiding in the quilt and shivering, then there would not be much of his face left! For a while, Deputy General Zhang was also hesitant and didn't know how to answer Qin Qiong's question.
As soon as Qin Qiong saw Deputy General Zhang's face, he immediately knew that there must be something inconvenient to say, Qin Qiong was not Luo Shixin's stunned youth, seeing this, he naturally didn't ask any more questions, and pulled the topic to other places. Qin Qiong glanced at the city wall next to him and asked, "Ah! General Zhang, how many defenders are there in this Xingyang City? ”
There is no need to mention the embarrassing thing, Deputy General Zhang is also in a lot of spirit, and hurriedly replied: "In this Xingyang City, except for those security officers and soldiers such as government officials, there are more than 5,000 soldiers in the defending army!" As the defenders of a city, there are indeed a lot of them, but these soldiers are not only responsible for guarding Xingyang City, but also helping to defend Luokoucang not far away, in fact, strictly speaking, these 5,000 defenders are a little stretched! Speaking of this, Vice General Zhang suddenly remembered that Luokoucang was almost lost not long ago, and it was only by relying on the counterinsurgency army in front of him that it was preserved, and he couldn't help but blush.
Regarding Deputy General Zhang's embarrassment, Qin Qiong also pretended not to see it, but frowned, gently rubbed his chin with his right hand, thought for a moment, and asked: "Since General Zhang is the deputy general of Xingyang City, and has been stationed in Xingyang City for many years, he must have fought with the thieves of Nawa Gangzhai, right?" Could General Zhang please tell us more about the situation in this tile gang village? "The main task of Zhang Xutuo's visit to Xingyang this time is to pacify Wagangzhai, so Qin Qiong is also thinking about finding out the situation in Wagangzhai for Zhang Xutuo, and he was so courteous to Deputy General Zhang before, and the purpose is also here!
"Hmmm! That's fine! Deputy General Zhang immediately nodded and said to Qin Qiong: "The thieves in this Wagangzhai were the first to start an incident, but they were still in the great cause for seven years!" And the one who took the lead is the thief chief of Wagangzhai now, Zhai Rang! ”
