Chapter 362: Cross-Provincial Pursuit
Wang Shichong sighed: "If you obviously grab the credit, of course the King of Shu can't grab it, what he wants is that Marshal Shi takes the initiative to give him this credit." If Marshal Shi doesn't give him this face, then he will collect all the handles of Marshal Shi in this southern expedition, and give a small report to the emperor when the time comes, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, the emperor is thousands of miles away, and there is no supervisor in the army, who do you say he will believe when the time comes? ”
Feng Xiaoci couldn't help but say: "Grandma's, this is too bullying, first sent a sissy Wan Zhiguang, and then on the battlefield without an inch of merit and wanted to grab the merit, and then by surrendering to blackmail these barbarian tribes, we have endured these, and now we have to rob Marshal Shi of chasing the enemy for thousands of miles, even if he is the king of Shu, he can't be so faceless and skinless." If he really dares to be bad, a few of us will jointly guarantee Marshal Shi, how about it! ”
Mai Tiezhu and Sima Dekan were both bloody men and directly agreed, but Duan Da lowered his head and was silent, Liu Quan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked Wang Shichong: "Xingman, what are your plans?" ”
Wang Shichong said coldly: "It's still the same sentence, don't be rash, what the King of Shu did is indeed not like words, but he is the prince after all, Marshal Shi is indeed a little ruthless in squeezing him out this time, the 50,000 Shu army has almost done nothing, and the credit is all for us to occupy the soldiers in the 10,000 passes, even those of us who guard the camp, each of us has thousands of beheadings, tens of thousands of prisoners, although it will not be sealed after returning, but at least it can be promoted to the next level, no wonder His Royal Highness the King of Shu can't swallow this breath." ”
Feng Xiaoci shook his head: "Xingman, I don't like to hear what you say, we are all soldiers." The credit on the battlefield is all made with a knife and a shot. We have never relied on charity in this battle. On the contrary, he robbed Wan Zhiguang of hundreds of heads, you said that you should take into account the overall situation and not offend the king of Shu, we also admit these, but now he has to take the great merit of capturing the enemy's head, if we don't testify to Marshal Shi, I am afraid that we will not be able to gain a foothold in the army in the future. ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "What I'm talking about is just the worst plan, if Marshal Shi doesn't give King Shu any pigtails." If Marshal Shi gets carried away after the victory, he does not do anything to plunder or take bribes, or if he has a private relationship with the enemy, then he will give the King of Shu a chance.
Let me tell you the truth, before coming to Ningzhou, Marshal Shi once came to me and talked about the Ningzhou expedition, judging from his words at that time. It seems that he wants to take advantage of himself in addition to the big victory, of course. Breaking the country and capturing the king while earning some extra money for yourself, every soldier will think like this, but this time Marshal Shi was targeted by the King of Shu, if something goes wrong in this regard, and there is an accident here in Ningzhou again, it will become very troublesome. If we don't get it right, we may even be implicated, so I don't even want to get involved in the pursuit this time, just to keep everyone safe. ”
After everyone heard this, they were speechless for a long time, and finally Duan Da said: "Xingman, you always think deeper than us people, it is really our blessing to be able to keep up with you on this expedition, so what do you say next?" ”
Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "The old look, wait and see, everyone pack their luggage, retreat must be orderly, there must be no chaos at this time, the defense is handed over to the Shu soldiers, they don't care how they like to toss, the defense of Ningzhou after the war is the matter of the King of Shu, let's not point fingers." ”
As he spoke, the curtain outside the tent flashed, and Zhang Jincheng ran in sweating, shouting: "General, Marshal Shi has returned, please go to his tent immediately with the five generals to discuss matters!" ”
Wang Shichong was slightly stunned: "Why did you come back so soon?" Isn't it going to be two more days? And if it is a triumphant army, why will it be so calm that you can't hear the sound of gongs and drums. ”
Zhang Jincheng shook his head: "I don't know what to do, the marshal has given a secret order, and now only you and the five generals in our entire military camp know about this matter, and the ten thousand soldiers of the Shu soldiers and Yuan Sima have not been notified, Marshal Shi specially ordered that only the generals who came from Guanzhong should go to the Guanzhong army station outside Wei County." ”
A cloud of uneasiness flashed in Wang Shichong's heart, and he nodded: "Okay, let's prepare." When he came out of the account, he glanced at the sky, the sky was still clear in the morning, and it was already cloudy at this time, Wang Shichong secretly said in his heart: "God bless, don't give birth to any branches, or moths." ”
Half an hour later, in the camp of the Guanzhong Army outside Weixian County, in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Shi Wansui, who was dressed in military uniform, sat on the handsome position, and a group of generals and colonels who came from Guanzhong were lined up on both sides, and it was obvious from the dust on the clothes which people followed Shi Wansui to pursue, and which people stayed in the camp.
I haven't seen him for a month and a half, Shi Wansui has obviously lost a lot of weight, his eyes are also deeply sunken, and his eyes are full of bloodshots, not only him, but also the other generals who participated in the pursuit battle, such as Zhang Xutuo, Yu Juluo, Yu Juzan, Yang Wutong, etc., are also covered with dust, but everyone's faces are full of excitement and excitement.
Wang Shichong stood up and gave a military salute to Shi Wansui: "Congratulations to Marshal Shi for capturing the enemy's head, returning victoriously, and capturing the rebellion in Ningzhou, the Ningzhou rebellion can be regarded as coming to an end. ”
A hint of smugness flashed on Shi Wansui's face: "General Wang, after listening to so many beautiful words, it is the best you say, Ha Luha, it is a pity that you don't follow me to pursue the enemy leader this time." ”
Wang Shichong smiled: "Someone has to stay in the camp, during your absence, the soldiers of Shu are tossing here enough, if a few of us also leave here, something happens in the rear, and the pursuit of your front line will not be so smooth." ”
Shi Wansui nodded: "I have heard about this matter, and the reason why I came back early with the two captives of Jian Xi and Jian Zhen is to hear what everyone means and how these two people should be handled." ”
Wang Shichong was slightly stunned: "Isn't the court already customized the handling of the rebel enemy leaders, after being captured, they will be escorted back to Beijing, and when the time comes, they will be sacrificed to the Taimiao and paraded in the streets, and then the emperor will decide their fate." But that's not what we need to manage, what Marshal Shi means is to arrange the task of escorting, and take them back to Beijing with the army this time? ”
Shi Wansui's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he waved his hand: "General Wang, you misunderstood what I meant, this marshal wants to ask you, is there any good way to release the planing and shading on the spot, and you can have an explanation to the above." ”
Shi Wansui's words were like thunder, shocking Wang Shichong's eyes for a while, his body shook twice, he couldn't believe his ears, in order to confirm that he was not dreaming, or that Shi Wansui was not crazy, he settled down and asked carefully: "Marshal Shi, I didn't hear it clearly just now, can you say it again?" ”
The corners of Shi Wansui's mouth hooked, and he said loudly: "Ben Shuai is asking, is there any good way to release the planing and shaking on the spot, and can you have an explanation to the emperor?" ”
Wang Shichong was really anxious this time, he knew that today was a military discussion, if he didn't express his position, then Shi Wansui really did this, and he didn't care about saving Shi Wansui's face as the boss, so he shouted directly: "Dashuai, don't do it, this is a private connivance with the enemy chieftain, if you tell the emperor about it, it will be a crime of killing your head, and all the credit in front of you will not save your life!"
Shi Wansui's face sank, and he said coldly: "How is it the crime of killing the head?" ”
Wang Shichong almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, he felt that Shi Wansui must have been evil, and when he swept around, he saw that Zhang Xutuo was also black-faced, without saying a word, obviously he didn't agree with Shi Wansui's approach, so Wang Shichong straightened out his thoughts, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Dashuai, the order the emperor gave us is to quell the rebellion and capture or kill the enemy chieftain, and you also know very well that if the brothers are not captured or killed, the rebellion will not be quelled for a day, because they are the spiritual leaders of these rebellious barbarians, as long as they are not caught, There is hope for these people.
