Chapter 184: The First Sight of the Emperor's Achievements (Second Update)
Liu Quan handed over the task of defending the city to his deputy, led Wang Huaqiang down the city, and went straight to the assassination of the history of the mansion, along the way, Wang Huaqiang saw that the city defense of Suzhou was strong, although the soldiers were tired, but the guards on duty were heavily guarded, and the morale was also high, and the people in Suzhou City closed their doors at night, and only a team of soldiers who patrolled the night with torches walked through the streets and alleys.
Wang Huaqiang looked at these soldiers and looked okay, it seems that they are eating quite normal, as long as the food is safe, then there will be no big problem in defending the city, Wang Huaqiang suddenly relieved.
After walking for a while, the two came to Suzhou Thorn History Mansion, Suzhou is a big state, compared to Nanyu Prefecture, which is not the same as the overseas Chinese state, and this Thorn History Mansion is also a high-spirited school, there are enough three courtyards, and even the door is much higher than the Thorn History Mansion in Nanyu Prefecture back then. Two groups of heavily armed soldiers, carrying torches, are stationed here, and at the door are horses and deer, in the form of a military camp.
A fierce officer in his thirties saw Liu Quan and Wang Huaqiang approaching, took two steps forward, raised his hand and shouted: "Military land, idlers are not allowed to approach, leave quickly!"
Liu Quan pointed at Wang Huaqiang and said: "This Wang joined the army, he was sent by Marshal Yang of Yue Guo to see General Huangfu, and he has Marshal Yang's order arrow on his body, please pass it on quickly." ”
Wang Huaqiang took out Yang Su's arrow from his arms, handed it to the officer, and said in a deep voice: "This general is Marshal Yang's army Wang Huaqiang, who has an important mission, and I ask this brother to make it convenient and let me in quickly." ”
The officer took the arrow, and when he saw it by the light of the fire, he was glad on his horse. Even his voice trembled a little excitedly: "It's really the general order of Yue Guogong, where is the army now?" ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled: "It's almost there." That's why I was sent in to connect with the defenders, without further ado. Let me in. ”
The officer waved his hand at his subordinates: "Quickly move away from the horse rejection!" He turned his head and made a gesture of inward invitation: "The king joins the army, please." ”
Liu Quan forcibly gave a military salute to Wang Hua: "Wang joins the army, the small one can only send you here, the city head still needs to be guarded, I wish you a good luck, don't pass by." Feng Dudu, Wang will join the army and leave it to you. ”
The person called Feng Dudu laughed: "Liu Dudu, my duties were limited just now. How offended, hard work, after the duty of the brothers to drink together in the east of the city tavern. ”
Liu Quan smiled, bowed his fists, and turned to leave.
Feng Dudu led Wang Huaqiang all the way to the palace, and said as he walked: "The little one's name is Feng Xiaoci, and he is a fellow villager with that Liu Quan, Marshal Yang was in the army of the commander when he went down to Jiangling for thousands of miles, and he was also stationed in Suzhou together after the war. Originally, the garrison expired in March this year, but I didn't expect to encounter this gang of anti-thieves, which was really fucking unlucky. ”
Wang Huaqiang smiled: "Blessings in disguise, maybe you can all get military merit beheading after this battle." In the future, you can be rewarded for meritorious deeds and promoted to the rank of knight. ”
Feng Xiaoci sighed: "If the rescue arrives, it will also be Yang Dashuai's military merit to win the war." It was also their business to get the first rank, and the rebels besieged Suzhou for three months. It has always been besieged but not attacked, and General Huangfu strictly ordered not to go out of the city to engage in battle. Therefore, we have not received a single head now, and even if we are rewarded for meritorious deeds in the future, I am afraid that we will not have our share. ”
While the two were talking, they walked near the lobby of the courtyard, Feng Xiaoci stopped, and said: "Oh, by the way, Wang joined the army, and General Huangfu is now resting in the middle hall of the second courtyard. ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Then there will be Governor Lao Feng." ”
Feng Xiaoci rushed away, and his figure soon flashed at the side door on the side of the lobby, Wang Huaqiang stood in this dark lobby, but secretly thought in his heart: This Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan can still drink in the hotel in Suzhou City, it seems that the order in the city is acceptable, the tavern can still be opened to entertain the soldiers guarding the city, and the food supply is also safe, this way, Suzhou City is in order, and he was found by the soldiers on duty when he entered the city today, presumably the rebel spies could not enter the city.
Huangfu is indeed an excellent general, defending the city for three months is still easy, now the Suzhou defenders have sufficient food and armor, and the fighting spirit is high, if it is really as Yang Su said, when the time comes, the two sides of the attack, this defender will definitely be able to break the enemy like a tiger down the mountain.
While thinking about it, there was a rush of footsteps from the hall, and the nail leaves "clanged". A strong and powerful voice with a little joy in the distance sounded: "Where is that king joining the army?" ”
As soon as Wang Huaqiang turned around, the torches from far and near suddenly became brighter, and a general of nearly fifty, with long flowing hair, tall and straight, dressed in bright light armor, walked in quickly, and Feng Xiaoci followed closely with more than ten soldiers behind him with torches.
Wang Huaqiang hurriedly stepped forward and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "The last general, Wang Huaqiang, see the history of the emperor's assassination." ”
The person who came was Huang Fuji, he laughed and waved his hand: "You don't need to be polite to join the army, you are alone, it is really not easy to break through the encirclement of the rebels and come to the city." Please be seated!"
Feng Xiaoci in the back hurriedly pulled over a chair and put it behind Wang Huaqiang, while Huang Fuji walked up to the main case in the lobby and sat upright.
Wang Huaqiang glanced at Huangfu Ji, only to see that his eye sockets were deep-set, and his eyes were bloodshot, from the fact that he came over so quickly, he could know that what Feng Xiaoci said was true, this person was really on duty in the second hall without clothes, and it was estimated that he was temporarily squinting on the marching bed for a while, thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang felt sorry for the hard rest he had disturbed the history of Huangfu's assassination.
So Wang Huaqiang sat down and said, "The last general came to visit late at night and disturbed the rest of the assassin history, I'm really sorry." It's just that the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for mistakes, and I ask the emperor to forgive me. ”
Huang Fuji nodded: "It's okay, even if you don't come, in the past few months, I have often been woken up by urgent military affairs in the middle of the night, and I am used to it." Now that the enemy army is besieging the city, my assassin history will automatically be transferred to a military position, so you still call me General Huangfu. By the way, what is the situation with Marshal Yang now? ”
Wang Huaqiang said: "When the commander sent the last general to come, he had just killed the deserters and sacrificed his flag and was ready to cross the river, and he sent me to take the first step and come to see General Huangfu, that is, to make an appointment with you in the future, and to eliminate the besieging enemy army in one fell swoop." ”
Huang Fuji's face was still calm, not as happy as Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan, he said lightly: "Oh, then may I ask Wang to join the army, when is Marshal Yang and me making an appointment?" What do you need us to do here? ”
Wang Huaqiang thought of Yang Su's secret order, frowned, and said: "Marshal Yang said that this is a top-secret military plane and cannot be leaked, so I asked the last general to bring a message, and I can only say that I am alone with General Huangfu, and I also ask the general to retreat." ”
Huang Fuji's face changed slightly, he glanced at Feng Xiaoci standing in the hall, Feng Xiaoci comprehended, stepped forward, hugged his fists at Wang Huaqiang and said: "Wang joins the army, offended, if you are alone with the general, we need to search it first, your personal weapon needs to be handed over, where the duty lies, sorry!"
Wang Huaqiang knew that this was a necessary precautionary measure in the army, and even if there was an arrow on him, it was likely that after the enemy intercepted the messenger, he would plan and send assassins to assassinate the opponent's general. He smiled, stood up, took out a self-defense dagger from his waist, handed it to Feng Xiaoci, and opened his hands.
Feng Xiaoci waved his hand, and the two guards behind him stepped forward quickly, searched Wang Huaqiang up and down carefully, and did not even let go of his pants and shoes, and only after confirming that he had no sharp blades on his body did he salute and retreat. Huang Fuji waved his hand, Feng Xiaoci led the soldiers to retreat to the steps outside the hall, and before leaving, he lit the candlestick on the big case, and left two torches to hang in the brazier on the pillar, and every move in the hall could be seen clearly in the hall.
Wang Huaqiang watched Feng Xiaoci and the others walk away from home, and it was impossible to hear his own voice, so he walked to the edge of Shuai's case and said in a low voice: "General Huangfu, the order that Marshal Yang entrusted me to bring is to drag the enemy army and not let them escape, but to wait for Marshal Yang's army to arrive, and attack together in eleven days."
