The heroes present are all heroes, if someone else questions them like this, they will definitely draw their swords to each other, and come with a white knife in and a red knife out. But now it is Zhishilang Wang Bo who is saying this, for everyone here, Wang Bo is not only prestigious, but more importantly, he is kind to all of them! The most particular thing about the heroes is that a righteous word is the head, and they can only bow their heads to accept Wang Bo's reprimand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhang Jincheng also immediately got down from his seat, walked quickly in front of Wang Bo, and respectfully saluted Wang Bo and said, "Prince! Please take a seat! Zhang Jin said that although he was ambitious, he did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Wang Bo, in terms of qualifications, he was Wang Bo's horse boy!
Regarding Zhang Jin's politeness, Wang Bo shook his head and said: "This is Gao Jibo, Brother Zhang is the master, Wang is a guest, how can Wang sit as chairman?" Brother Zhang, you're welcome, I'll just sit with the brothers! After speaking, Wang Bo directly found a position, wiped the remaining fragments from the chair, and sat down like this. And the five masters who had previously shot to separate the group also stood in a row, standing behind Wang Bo.
Seeing that Wang Bo refused to take a seat, Zhang Jin said that he was also a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to force it, and then Zhang Jin said that he did not return to the chairman to sit, but learned from Wang Bo and found a place to sit down. As Wang Bo's gaze swept away, the heroes also retreated to their respective positions and sat down. After taking his seat, Zhang Jincheng cautiously said to Wang Bo: "I thought that the prince would not come here, so I didn't wait for the prince, and I ask the prince to forgive me!" ā
Wang Bo waved his hand, didn't care much, and said, "It's okay, Wang really doesn't have the strength to come here!" In the first battle of Qi County last year, Wang's soldiers and horses were beaten by that Zhang Xutuo, and there was not much left! General Dou! In a short time, maybe I may even go to Qinghe to seek refuge from the Duke of Donghai! After listening to Wang Bo's words, the heroes did not despise Wang Bo because of this, and they admired Wang Bo's bearing more and more in their hearts.
Dou Jiande hurriedly stood up, saluted Wang Bo, and said: "If the prince is willing to go to Qinghe, then the representative of the Duke of the East China Sea is welcome!" ā
Wang Bo also arched his hand, Gao Shida has been swallowing the Qinghe area, he is a northern hero, and he did not participate in Wang Bo's coalition last year, Wang Bo has no favor and Gao Shida, so there is a lot of politeness between his words. After being polite to Dou Jiande, Wang Bo immediately said to the group again: "Wang Mou also said just now that since the battle with Zhang Xutuo last year, my army has suffered great losses and has been expelled from Changbai Mountain, and now I am considering going elsewhere to settle down. With this kind of strength, I was not qualified to participate in this coalition, but before that, Wang got an extremely important news and came to inform you brothers! ā
To be able to let Wang Bo come so cautiously, this news must be not small, so when Wang Bo said this, all the heroes pricked up their ears and didn't dare to miss a word. And Wang Bo also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xiaoyou, who has been stationed in Squatting Dog Mountain, has been besieged by Zhang Xutuo's army in Squaogou Mountain for nearly half a month, and he has surrendered three days ago!" ā
"Shhhh After Wang Bo said the news, there was no other sound in the entire hall except for the sound of gasping cold air, and everyone looked at Wang Bo with disbelief on their faces. Zuo Xiaoyou in Wang Bo's mouth, that is a bandit who has just risen up this year, although the uprising has not been long, but there are many soldiers and horses under his command, I heard that there are more than 100,000 people! Originally, Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said that they wanted to bring Zuo Xiaoyou in this time to form a coalition army, but the envoy sent there was no news at all, and they thought that Zuo Xiaoyou refused to come, but they didn't expect to surrender!
"It's Zhang Xutuo again!" Zhang Jincheng gritted his teeth and snorted, his words also caused the crowd to curse one after another, and everyone present, except for Dou Jiande, who was far away in Qinghe, without exception, all had suffered from Zhang Xutuo. They are afraid and hateful of Zhang Xutuo, eager to skin and cut Zhang Xutuo's bones, and afraid that Zhang Xutuo's next target is himself.
Although Dou Jiande has never fought with Zhang Xutuo, he has also heard of Zhang Xutuo's prestige, and he will never dare to underestimate Zhang Xutuo. Now that he learned that Zuo Xiaoyou had surrendered, Dou Jiande's brows couldn't help frowning, and he even said to Wang Bo: "Prince! I heard that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses under Zuo Xiaoyou, and his surrender has greatly enhanced Zhang Xutuo's strength. ā
As soon as Dou Jiande said this, the heroes reacted, right! Originally, the army under Zhang Xutuo was already very brave and good at fighting, and now with the 100,000 people of Zuo Xiaoyou, wouldn't Zhang Xutuo be even more powerful? This unplanted Zuo Xiaoyou is simply harmful! It's okay, what are you surrendering!
Hearing the low curse of the group of heroes, Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well!" However, the so-called 100,000 people under Zuo Xiaoyou are just an exaggeration, and his real soldiers and horses are probably only about 50,000, and he will fight against Zhang Xutuo for more than half a month, even if he surrenders, I'm afraid there are not many left! ā
As soon as Wang Bo said this, the hearts of the heroes also relaxed a little, but soon Zhang Jin's face changed again, and he finally knew that Wang Bo had specially rushed to Gaojibo to tell everyone the news. Zhang Jin said that he immediately raised his head, looked at Wang Bo with a look of surprise, and exclaimed: "Prince! You mean, Zhang Xutuo already knows what we are planning this time? ā
Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said that they had sent envoys to find Zuo Xiaoyou, originally they just thought that Zuo Xiaoyou didn't want to participate, so they didn't reply, but now it seems that Zuo Xiaoyou has been besieged for nearly half a month, and the messenger sent has not returned, so hasn't it fallen into the hands of Zhang Xutuo! Dou Jiande was also shocked, and immediately turned around and said to the scholar beside him: "Ling Jing, can the envoy sent by the Duke of the East China Sea come back?" ā
The scholar also replied with a look of astonishment: "General! The envoy was sent by Song Zhengben from the Duke of Donghai, and before coming, I asked Song Zhengben that the envoy had indeed not returned! ā
The scholar's answer named Ling Jing made the hearts of the group of people present even more uneasy, and at this time, a man with a long beard who looked older than the group of heroes present stood up and said to Wang Bo: "Brother Wang! In your opinion, Zhang Xutuo knows our plan this time, will he send troops? ā
This long-bearded man called Wang Bo so differently, it was because he was the oldest hero present besides Wang Bo, Meng Rang who was stationed in Xuyi! However, although Meng Rang's qualifications are old enough, his strength has always been at the midstream level among the heroes, so even if he came to join the coalition this time, he could only obey Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng. Hearing Meng Rang's question, everyone present gasped again, although they all wanted to swallow Zhang Xutuo alive, but if Zhang Xutuo really sent troops, they would also run faster than anyone else. In the past year or so, they have tasted enough of Zhang Xutuo's power, and they don't want to fight Zhang Xutuo again!
Wang Bo seemed to have known that there would be such a question, so he replied very quickly: "It shouldn't be!" As far as I know, Zhang Xutuo has just been canonized by the faint monarch, became the general guard of Qi County, and concurrently served as the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan Province to arrest him, even if he defeats Zuo Xiaoyou, he has many next goals, and he can't come here at all! Before I came, I heard that he was in Wuyang preparing to deal with Zhu A's Lu Mingyue! ā
Lu Mingyue! As soon as Wang Bo said this, the heroes present gasped again, this Zhang Sutuo is really bold, he just killed Zuo Xiaoyou, and now he is coming to deal with Lu Mingyue again! This Lu Mingyue is not inferior to Zuo Xiaoyou's hero! There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command! However, in addition to being surprised, the group of heroes also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to worry about dealing with Zhang Xutuo.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little relieved, Wang Bo said with a serious face: "You must not take it lightly! Even if Zhang Xutuo will not come in person, he will send someone to inform the vanguard sent by the faint monarch this time! The commander of the vanguard army this time is the old future protector of the imperial court! This person has experienced a hundred battles, and he is the number one general under the Dusk King, once he is prepared, it will be difficult for you to ambush the vanguard army! Therefore, my intention to come to Gaojibo this time is to hope that you can give up this plan! ā
Abandon? If these words were to be said by others, they would definitely be laughed at by the heroes present as a gutless rat, which can be said from Wang Bo's mouth, who dares to say that this righteous man who was the first in the world to revolt against Sui is a coward? But even so, it is very difficult to make the heroes give up this rare opportunity. The reason why the heroes gathered here to plan the vanguard army of the imperial court's eastern crusade was to sabotage Yang Guang's eastern crusade plan and rescue the people who suffered because of the war, but in fact, everyone was aiming at the excellent equipment of the vanguard army and the food and grass of the army!
Now all kinds of bandits are making a lot of trouble in the local area, so everyone doesn't need to worry about the source of soldiers, but if there are more soldiers and horses, then the food, grass and equipment will become a problem! Now the local government has learned to be obedient, and no longer mention anything about suppressing bandits, if the bandits dare to attack the city, as long as the city gate is closed, there is nothing wrong with being a turtle with a shrunken head! In addition, now Zhang Xutuo is as fierce as an aphrodisiac, and he kills the gods when he encounters the gods, and the current life of the heroes is also difficult! It's rare that the faint king sent this vanguard army of only 50,000 people out, and in the eyes of the heroes, it was all a big piece of fat! Let them swallow their saliva when they don't see it, how is it possible?
Immediately, Zhang Jin said that it was Zhengse and said: "The prince is kind, I will wait for my heart!" But the faint king's crusade to the east will only be the people of the world, and we will raise troops in the name of the people, how can we not think about the people! Only by defeating the vanguard army and breaking the idea of the faint monarch's eastern crusade can the people be protected from the atrocities of the faint monarch! ā
