Chapter 519: Wu Bushan

Cheng Mingzhen is a person with a slightly dark face but a bookish atmosphere, he is not very old, he looks like he is twenty-four or five years old, and he looks a little embarrassed because he does not have Wang Fubao's treatment in the dungeon. The clothes on my body have not been changed, and they are not only dirty but also exude a musty smell. But even so, his clothes still look neat and obviously tidy up regularly.

He was also born as an official eunuch, his father once did the Eagle Yang Lang general, and he was also a well-known military general at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately, because He Ruobi was implicated in the case, his father was beheaded together because he was He Ruobi's cronies, and although he and his wife were not asked about the death penalty, they could only be refugees because the house was seized. A few years ago, I went to Guantao County to vote for relatives, and the relatives gave a few dollars and never asked whether their mother and son were alive or dead.

The mother and son rented a dilapidated courtyard in Guantao City to live, and Cheng Mingzhen worked as a coolie on the side of the canal to make a living. Later, the giant wild thief Zhang Jin said that he hit Guantao County, and after the city was broken, their mother and son were forced to follow the thieves. Because Cheng Mingzhen has read a lot of military books since he was a child, his father has taught him hand-in-hand, his martial arts are good, and he also understands the art of war, which gradually became more and more prominent in the Juye Ze army, and was reused by Zhang Jincheng.

Zhang Jin said that the second leader of his subordinates saw that he was young and promising, so he married his daughter to him as a wife. It didn't take long for him to become the lowest-ranked leader in Juno Zeri, he had the fewest men under his command, but he was the most well-trained and the most powerful. It is precisely because of this that he was able to survive after being crushed twice by Yan Yun Tieqi. At the foot of Dai Mountain, he watched thousands of Yan Yunjing ride like chopping melons and vegetables to abolish Juyeze's men and horses, the big boss Zhang Jin said that his life and death were unknown, he took hundreds of people to escape all the way to the north bank of the Yellow River, and did not even dare to turn back.

After sending someone to take the old lady and his wife to the north bank, he fell into the grass in Zhaozhou. Later, he fought several battles with the official army and won a great victory, and his name became more and more famous, and more and more people came to join him, and Zhaozhou became his territory. He raised the people in Tuntian, Zhaozhou, and the life of the common people was very good, although the number of troops under his command was only a few thousand, but he also had his own name on the green forest road. Later, Dou Jiande's power became bigger and bigger, and he knew that he couldn't resist, so in order to find a good future for his subordinates, he simply took refuge in Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande got the wings of Zhaozhou from him, and he also trusted him, and later Dou Jiande occupied the land of Hebei and made him the county guard of Weizhou.

Because Wang Fubao's matter was implicated, he was also sent to the prison of Zhaozhou Mansion by Dou Jiande. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Wang Fubao's Dou Red Line to take care of him, and occasionally look at him by the way, it would be impossible to say that he was also the one who died of a violent illness in the dungeon.

"I've seen the General!"

Although he looks down, Cheng Mingzhen has not lost a little bit of courtesy.

Wang Fubao hurriedly went over to help him, refusing to accept his worship: "You and I are brothers in distress, why are there so many red tapes?" If you do this again, go back, I don't want to see a poor scholar! I wondered, obviously you are from the military, why are you so sour and rotten! ”

"If you chase me, I won't go back."

Cheng Mingzhen smiled and said: "Before I entered the door, I smelled the fragrance of old wine, and the sauce elbow of Sun Ji's old store in the city, I couldn't help but salivate out, how could I leave?" ”

Wang Fubao took his hand and sat down on the side of the table, personally gave him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Your nose is still a thief, you can smell it from such a distance." ”

He glanced at Cheng Mingzhen's dirty and torn clothes, frowned slightly, and said, "I asked the red line to bring you a few clothes in, why don't you want to change them?" ”

"I'm different from you, big brother!"

Cheng Mingzhen took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, took another sip of wine, and couldn't help but moan comfortably.

"Big brother, you're here, no matter what you do."

He pointed to Wu Bushan, who was standing not far away, and said, "Even if you give that thing a dozen mouths, it's okay to even stab him." But if I'm too flamboyant here, I'm afraid I don't want to come here again to drink with you, big brother. ”

"I've wronged you!"

Wang Fubao sighed and said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this prison." ”

"Big brother, why are you talking nonsense, you obviously know, even if something happens to you, I hide far away and be a turtle with a shrunken head, can King Xia let me go?"

"This is Zhaozhou."

Cheng Mingzhen drank all the wine, and he was not polite to have another glass: "I have been worried that I will not end well since the day I joined King Xia, but then King Xia's doubts about reusing me gradually disappeared." Now it seems that I realize how ignorant and naïve I am, this is a necessary thing, how can I hide from it? ”

"yes......"

Wang Fubao sighed and said, "This is Zhaozhou. ”

He added in his heart, but did not say it: This was once your Zhaozhou, and because of this, it is impossible for King Xia to tolerate you.

"I'm lucky, too."

Cheng Mingzhen seemed to be hungry, and said while gobbling it up: "If I hadn't entered this place with you, how could I have this treatment?" Occasionally, there is wine and meat to eat, and there is a friend who can talk to him. So don't blame yourself, big brother, I didn't come in because of you, on the contrary, I should thank you. ”

"Our brothers don't talk about this!"

Wang Fubao shook his head and sighed, "King Xia is defeated." ”

Cheng Mingzhen, who was stuffing something into his mouth, stiffened, then smiled and asked, "Big defeat?" ”

"The Great Defeat"

"Actually, it's better not to ask."

Cheng Mingzhen wiped his oily mouth, remembering the tragic battles he had experienced twice, and still had palpitations: "Under Yan Yunjing's horse, where is there a small defeat." ”

"I don't understand, why do you respect Li Xian so much."

Wang Fubao frowned.

Cheng Mingzhen sighed and said: "There are some terrible things that are extremely terrifying, and they will never be forgotten after experiencing them once, not to mention that I have experienced them twice?" ”

He pondered for a while and said: "King Xia went south this time, and now it seems that he has simply jumped into the big pit dug by others, and the people of Yanyun Village are waiting to bury the soil with shovels, how can they be undefeated?" Before I sent out the army, I thought, how could such a cheap thing appear in front of me so easily, Li Xian is by no means a fool, how can he do a stupid thing? Now it seems that the stupid one seems to be our Zhaozhou Army. Speaking of which, if it had been placed two years ago, King Xia would never have been fooled by this, we have won too many battles over the years, and people have become frivolous. ”

"Don't be too pessimistic, as long as King Xia comes back, it won't have much impact."

"It doesn't affect anyone?"

Cheng Mingzhen suddenly sat up straight and asked seriously, "To you, big brother, or me?" ”

……

……

Wang Fubao looked at Wu Bushan, who had been standing not far outside, and knew that he had been eavesdropping on his conversation with Cheng Mingzhen, so when the two of them were talking, their voices were kept very low, but Cheng Mingzhen's rhetorical question made him a little sad. He knew what Cheng Mingzhen meant, because of his relationship with Dou Hongxian, although Dou Jiande ruined the marriage contract, but under Dou Hongxian's death, Dou Jiande didn't dare to kill himself in a hurry.

But Cheng Mingzhen is different, it turned out that this place in Zhaozhou was his, and later he led his troops to take refuge in Dou Jiande for the sake of the people of Zhaozhou and his brothers, and Dou Jiande has been thinking about being the emperor since he became the king, and he is suspicious of everyone, Cheng Mingzhen used to be very popular in Zhaozhou, and this person Dou Jiande will not stay anyway. As Cheng Mingzhen himself said, even if Wang Fubao's matter is not implicated, he will not be able to escape this fate.

"Rest assured"

Wang Fubao comforted: "King Xia was defeated in Dongping County, even Su Dingfang was broken, Yin Qiu also died, as for Cao Dan, don't say it, it's better to be alive than dead." Now there are not many generals that King Xia can use, as long as King Xia is not confused, he will not be difficult for you and me. Just now, Wu Bushan said that the generals in the court are secretly discussing a joint agreement to bail you and me out. ”

He paused for a moment and said with some abruptness, "But I didn't plan to go out." ”

Cheng Mingzhen was stunned: "Big brother, what did you say, do you plan to spend your life in this dark place?" ”

"If I go out and be reinstated, what about the red line?"

Wang Fubao sighed and said: "Since King Xia has the intention of killing me, even if he lets me out, sooner or later he will die, the red red line will be happy to see me go out, but in the future, the sadness will be doubled, it is better to be in prison, I don't go out, Dou Jiande can kill me with the crime of resisting the decree, the end is nothing more than a death, but I have to lead soldiers to fight when I go out...... I'm tired of licking blood on my head, and dying here quietly is not a good thing for me and Red Line. ”

"Big Brother ......"

Wang Fubao shook his head and signaled Cheng Mingzhen not to persuade him: "King Xia has the grace of knowing me, even if he imprisons me in this prison, I actually have no complaints in my heart. Back then, our brother followed him to have a way to live, and now he wants our lives This is also providence, I don't hate it. But if I go out, as long as I still touch the military power, all I get will be deeper and deeper suspicion, and I have had enough of this pain. ”

He smiled and said, "You asked me just now, who did it matter...... It's you, after you go out, remember one thing, if King Xia plans to reactivate you as a general, you must not agree, no matter what he says, you must resign at least three times, so that he feels that you have the best ambition to lead the army, so that he will rest assured that you will lead the troops, and when you have the opportunity to leave Zhaozhou, you will escape, whether you can take the team or flee by yourself, in short, don't come back. ”

"Big brother!"

Cheng Mingzhen shook his head vigorously while holding Wang Fubao's hand, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"You have always called me eldest brother, you brother I also identified, if you want to have a future, you must choose a good person to defect, in my opinion, Li Mi of Wagangzhai and Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital are not big things, but Chang'an Li Yuan already has a foundation, and nine times out of ten in this world will return to the Li family, you can lead troops to Chang'an to vote for him."

"There is another thing, even if King Xia sends you on an expedition, your family will be detained in Zhaozhou, after you go out, go to the Star Picking Tower to find a person named Wang Yunyan, who is the owner of the Star Picking Tower, he is not an ordinary person, his means are all over the sky, and the relationship with those officials in the court is very close, even Song Zhengben and he are called brothers, with him to help you, the matter of the family is not difficult to solve."

"Even if you know such a person, you may not be willing to help him if you rush to find him. Helping me escape in Zhaozhou, offending King Xia, his good days are over. ”

Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Wu Bushan!"

Wang Fubao suddenly turned around and shouted, "You just come in and listen!" ”

Wu Bushan walked into the stone room with a smile, and said proudly: "I have heard everything you said, if this matter is told to Song Zhengben, you can guess...... Is my Wuyang County Order at my fingertips? ”
