[Ah Hu sent someone to call me in, didn't he plan to discuss something with me in private?] But what is this Weizhuang doing here? ]

Glancing at Wei Zhuang, who was standing at the base of the wall with his hands folded, the withered sheep couldn't help but ask, and turned his head to look at his good brother Wei Hu, who was sitting in the main seat of the house.

I saw that Wei Hu's upper body was only wearing a thin coat, and his chest and abdomen were bandaged with layers after layers, and there were several blood marks faintly oozing from the bandages, especially the one from the shoulders to the back, which was simply shocking.

There is no doubt that this extremely serious scar comes from the top assassin under the tent of Xie An, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army, the captain of the Fusi Si of the Northern Town of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, and one of the four heavenly kings of Dongling, the sickle Mo Fei, a number one assassin in the world that few people can compare with in the world.

And the reason why Wei Hu was injured so badly by Mo Fei was that the withered sheep felt that he had to bear ninety percent of the responsibility. Therefore, when he saw Wei Hu's miserable situation, he only felt that his heart was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.

On the other hand, Wei Hu looked quite atmospheric and heroic, and he didn't mean anything because he rescued the withered sheep, which was very different from the generals of the Jinling Taiping Army who were holding back their strength in the hall on the west side of the party and wanted to incorporate the Niuzhu Taiping Army under the command of the withered sheep.

"What is the pestle doing over there, Ah Yang? - Come on, come and sit here! Lang laughed, and Wei Hu pointed to the seat next to him.

The withered sheep walked over silently, he clearly remembered that when Wei Hu led him to retreat to Jinling a day ago, because of excessive blood loss, his face was as pale as a white paper, his steps were staggering, and he was crumbling, where was the domineering spirit of killing the rebel general Qi Zhi of the Taiping Army with a knife.

However, after resting for a night, Wei Hu's injuries seemed to have improved greatly, at least his complexion looked much better.

After sitting down, the withered sheep asked with deep concern, "How is the injury?" ”

"Don't mention it!" Wei Hu's face was a little resentful, and he raised his hand to cover his hard-hit shoulder. scolded and said, "That Mo Fei is really not a fucking thing, and I don't know what kind of immoral weapon he has in his hand." The brother who bandaged me told me this morning that I had made a mess on my back with the unscrupulous weapon. Even a piece of the belt meat was torn off, and it hurt me to death! ”

"......" Hearing this, the withered sheep subconsciously looked at Wei Hu's back a few times, and then his eyes flashed with a little guilt and unbearability.

Because on Wei Hu's back, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, it was obvious that there was a large depression, about the size of a palm, if nothing else, it should be the part that was torn off by the belt.

I have to say. Wei Hu is also a heroic and tough guy, obviously a piece of skin and flesh was torn off by Mo Fei, but his face still did not change, although he kept scolding Mo Fei and his lack of moral weapons. But he didn't groan or cry out in pain, even if it was just a sound.

This can't help but remind people of this person's performance when he was in Jijing.

At that time, Wei Hu took two companions to pretend to be Zhou Bing and infiltrate the military exercise between Liangqiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Fei Guo, but was captured by Liangqiu Wu. During the interrogation, this young but extremely tough young general of the Taiping Army. Even if Judas scolded with his legs broken and refused to reveal the slightest information about the Taiping Army, even Xie An couldn't help but admire.

After a few small talks, the withered sheep brought up the business intentionally or unintentionally, but. He seemed to be a little concerned about Wei Zhuang's existence from beginning to end, and looked at the latter frequently.

Seeing that the expression of the withered sheep was different, Wei Hu, who was brave and scheming, was sluggish and sluggish at first, and thought that the withered sheep was dissatisfied because he did not go out to see him in person, so he explained with a smile, "Ah Yang, I'm sorry, I asked you to come to see me...... I didn't mean to put on a show, but those long-winded guys insisted that I take good care of my injuries here, saying that it is not appropriate to blow the wind if I have an injury, grandpa, where am I so delicate? - No, those rambling guys just changed my medicine again......"

The withered sheep smiled slightly, thinking about it, and knew that the long-winded guys in Wei Hu's mouth must be referring to his left and right henchmen, and said with a light sigh, "Just listen to the golden and jade words of the left and right people, don't be reckless, the power of heaven is ......" When he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Wei Zhuang not far away, because this person was present, it was not good for the withered sheep to be too close to Wei Hu.

[Heavenly power?] ]

Seeing the withered sheep calling himself by the code name of the six gods, Wei Hu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the withered sheep suspiciously. You must know that although the six gods are indeed called like this, the question is, what is the relationship between him Wei Hu and the withered sheep? That's a brother who lives and dies together! How can they call each other like this on weekdays?

Suddenly, Wei Hu suddenly realized, he glanced at Wei Zhuang from time to time in the eyes of the withered sheep from time to time, and then realized that in this house, in addition to him Wei Hu and the withered sheep, there was also a left army general Wei Zhuang who was not inferior in power and status to their six god generals.

Merely......

A hint of struggle flashed in Wei Hu's eyes, and he didn't even open his mouth to ask Wei Zhuang to avoid it for the time being.

Noticing this, the withered sheep chuckled in his heart, and the uneasiness in his heart widened.

"Ah Yang," there was a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, Wei Hu gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "I invite you to come this time, I have something to discuss with you......

Glancing at the smile raised at the corner of Wei Zhuang's mouth at the root of the wall, the withered sheep vaguely realized something, and said quietly, "What's the matter?" ”

Looking at the withered sheep's indifferent gaze, Wei Hu wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally said, "Look at the current situation, the Zhou army is divided into two ways...... One of them, led by Li Xian, the son of the royal family of Zhou, had already attacked the vicinity of Guangling a few days earlier...... Let's not mention this one for now. Another Zhou army is about to arrive in my Jinling in the near future, and although my Jinling is supported by the city wall, the troops are not enough after all, so that the city has few soldiers, and it is difficult to cover everything......"

[Sure enough......]

The withered sheep sighed secretly in his heart, and said deliberately, "Tianquan, you already have 20,000 soldiers under your command, and this time I have brought 15,000 troops into the city, even if you get rid of the troops you lost to save me that day, now there are 33,000 soldiers in this Jinling, why are the troops insufficient?" ”

"That's not ...... It's not that the Zhou soldiers who are coming today are quite difficult, I hope ......"

"The Zhou soldiers who are about to arrive in the near future are only 23,000 or 4,000 people...... There are tens of thousands of people, and with the help of the walls of Jinling City, which is as high as seven or eight zhang, are you worried that you can't even hold on to this? Interrupting Wei Hu's words, the withered sheep said with a smile.

"The problem is that Zhou Bing will order the unification ......" Wei Hu said subconsciously, only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, and opened his mouth wordlessly.

See here. The withered sheep sighed, shook his head, and said indifferently, "Okay." Talking like this is not in line with your character. If you have anything to say, just say it! ”

Hearing this, Wei Hu looked at the withered sheep hesitantly, and after a few struggles, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! Ah Yang, you are much smarter than me, and you must have guessed it, since this is the case. I won't beat around the bush anymore! - I'm going to take over your Niu Zhu Army! ”

[Takeover?] ]

The withered sheep's face changed slightly, and he looked at Wei Hu in disbelief. You must know that at first, he thought that Wei Hu was at most planning to absorb his Niuzhu army, and the elite of the generals would be filled into the Jinling army under his command to deal with the upcoming Jinling war. But he never expected that Wei Hu would ask for more.

What the? What is the difference between an acquisition and a takeover?

Inclusion refers to the incorporation of the Niuzhu Army into the Jinling Army and the subordinate army of the latter, and in the process of reorganization, everything is dominated by the Jinling Army as the main force, simply put. He withered sheep and the Niu Zhu army under his command will temporarily become the subordinate generals of Wei Hu, the commander of the Jinling Taiping Army, and obey the latter's dispatch.

The takeover refers to the removal of Dry Yang from the post of commander of the Taiping Army in Niuzhu, and the full delivery of his generals and soldiers to Wei Hu free of charge. To put it simply, Wei Hu intends to completely seize the power of the withered sheep, and in the future, he will still bear the name of the six god generals, but in fact, he is the commander of the light pole, and there is not a single soldier in his hands.

It was precisely because he knew the difference between the takeover and the takeover, the withered sheep's face suddenly sank, although Wei Hu, a good brother, had just relieved him of the siege, but he was so blunt that he wanted to snatch the military power, and the withered sheep was also indignant in his heart, and it was unbearable.

"Takeover...... Is it? The withered sheep's eyes when he looked at Wei Hu obviously turned cold, and after taking a deep breath, he smiled instead of anger, "This is really ...... I didn't expect it! - My withered sheep is also a god general, how can I say that the military power in my hands is exempt? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Wei Zhuang chuckle beside him, "In fact, Wei does have this right!" ——When Wei set off for Niuzhu, Wu Shuai told me and handed over this right to me! As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms, on which was clearly written the payment of Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army.

"......" looked deeply at the paper envelope for a while, and the withered sheep said coldly, "Wu Shuai's ability to be an unpredictable prophet, withered sheep admires!" - Did I calculate that I would be so defeated early on, or was it prepared in advance, just in case? ”

The irony in his words clearly revealed his dissatisfaction with Wu Heng. After all, this matter is obvious, Wu Heng no longer trusts him, and sends Weizhuang to Niuzhu, nominally to help him wither sheep, but in fact, it is to spy on him. If there is an eventuality, Wei Zhuang can use the handwriting of Wu Heng in his hand at any time to remove the position of the six gods of the withered sheep and take over the military power in his hands.

may have heard the dissatisfied tone in the withered sheep's words, and a trace of guilt flashed in Wei Hu's eyes, after all, the relationship between the withered sheep and Xie An was revealed to Wu Heng by him Wei Hu privately at the beginning, under the premise of violating the agreement made with the withered sheep.

But even so, Wei Hu didn't back down half a point, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Ah Yang, I treat you as a brother, so I won't hide it from you!" - You and I both know that the commander of the Zhou army that is about to attack my Jinling City is not your brother-in-law? ”

The withered sheep was stunned for a moment, and then a little anger flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Do you suspect me of fornicating with Zhou Jun?" ”

"No!" Wei Hu raised his hand to interrupt the withered sheep's words, and Zhengse said, "I naturally trust you, but ...... Before the Battle of the Hengjiang River, you did meet with your brother-in-law, Xie An, the commander of the Zhou army, in a small boat on the river, didn't you? ”

"......" The withered sheep was slightly startled in his heart, and looked at Wei Hu in disbelief, and then seemed to think of something, and subconsciously looked at Wei Zhuang who was standing at the base of the wall with his arms crossed, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

As if sensing the withered sheep's gaze, Wei Zhuang shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle, and said in a natural tone, "Wu Shuai sent Wei to listen to the withered sheep's tent, and the deep meaning is inside, with the wisdom of the withered sheep, it must not be difficult to understand, right?" - Since it is surveillance, why does the Withered Sheep Marshal think that Wei does not know about your private meeting with Xie An, the commander of the Zhou Army? ”

[Damn!] Do those pro-soldiers have this guy's eyeliner? ]

frowned slightly, and scolded secretly in the withered sheep's heart. In fact, there are actually a few people who know about his meeting with Xie An, such as Wang Jian, Zhang Feng, and Xu Chang, but he never believes that these henchmen will betray him.

Thinking about it this way, the only possibility is that some of the soldiers he brought with him when he went to see Xie An were bought by Wei Zhuang. Or even the eyeliner of the latter.

[Wait!] If so......]

Recalling the situation at that time, the withered sheep's eyes narrowed, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.

"Tell me. Brother, what did you talk about with that Xie An that day? "Look directly into the eyes of the withered sheep. Wei Hu seemed to put aside his previous guilt, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say to him in that small boat?" — or rather, what kind of agreement was made? ”

Hearing this, the withered sheep chuckled in his heart, of course he knew what he had agreed with his brother-in-law Xie An that day. Although he has not made the slightest act of rebellion so far, he made an agreement with Xie An that day. How can you tell Wei Hu well?

Could it be said that he had made a private agreement with his brother-in-law Xie An that if he was defeated, he would give up the blood feud of thirty years ago. Transferred to Zhou Jun?

In fact, it doesn't really matter whether the withered sheep says it or not, after all, since Wei Hu would ask this, it is obvious that he has already learned about it, as for who he knows......

The withered sheep glanced at Wei Zhuang with a rather sharp gaze.

It's not hard to guess. There is no one else but Wei Zhuang.

As if noticing the angry glare of the withered sheep, Wei Zhuang chuckled lightly and said indifferently, "If people don't know, unless they don't do it, should they say that?" ”

As soon as this statement came out. Not only was the anger in the withered sheep's eyes even worse, but even Wei Hu glanced at him with great dissatisfaction. After all, no matter what he said, Wei Hu still regarded the withered sheep as a brother of life and death, but the relationship between this brother of life and death was too close to the Zhou State, so that he was afraid that the withered sheep would defect to the Zhou State under the lure of his brother-in-law, and in turn endanger his Taiping army. Therefore, Wei Hu planned to take over the power of the withered sheep, but this did not mean that he could tolerate Wei Zhuang's rudeness to the withered sheep.

"Lord Zuo Jun, please be careful!" Wei Hu said word by word.

"......" may not have expected Wei Hu to still prefer withered sheep at this time, Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's Wei Mou's words!" - The withered sheep handsome don't have to worry about someone Wei! ”

Although his words were polite, Wei Zhuang was not very comfortable in his heart, but Wei Hu was different from Withered Sheep, he was the confidant and hardcore of Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army. What's more, it is said that Wei Hu's father and brother were also the first deputy marshal of the Taiping Army, Wu Wei, that is, Wu Heng's biological father's personal soldiers, so Wu Heng trusted Wei Hu very much who was originally loyal to him, even if Wei Zhuang was a five-member general under Wu Heng, he did not dare to offend Wei Hu easily.

Seeing that Wei Zhuang was soft and apologized, the cold color on Wei Hu's face subsided slightly, and after turning his head and taking a deep look, he suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up, and said in an irrefutable tone, "In short, I will take over the military power in your hands!" ”

"......" The withered sheep looked straight at Wei Hu, and from the latter's firm eyes, he realized that Wei Hu was serious this time, this man had indescribable loyalty to the Taiping Army and to Wu Heng. Moreover, Wei Hu's tenacious temperament is destined to never listen to other people's suggestions or explanations when he is stubborn.

Thinking of this, the withered sheep doesn't plan to explain anymore,

"Take over the military power...... Is that you? Or is it him? The withered sheep asked in a deep voice.

Glancing at Wei Zhuang, Wei Hu said in a deep voice, "It's me!" - If it were me, you would be relieved to hand over your men to me, wouldn't you, Sheep? ”

"......" glanced at Wei Hu, and the withered sheep shook his head with a somewhat wry smile, and the right should be acquiescing.

However, Wei Zhuang, who was standing at the base of the wall, was stunned for a moment, put down his wrapped hands, and looked at Wei Hu suspiciously.

The withered sheep obviously also noticed Wei Zhuang's actions and the deep meaning behind this move, but at this moment, he was in no mood to pay attention to it, and stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wei Hu again.

"Wait, Sheep! - For the next few days, you will stay here, and I will instruct my soldiers to take care of you! ”

Withered Sheep was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Wei Hu in surprise, and said in disbelief, "You...... You're going to put me under house arrest, Hu? ”

Listening to the familiar name, Wei Hu's eyes flashed with a little guilt, and he whispered, "This is for your good, Ah Yang...... You can't get entangled with Zhou Bing anymore! - I know that if you take away your military power, you must be dissatisfied, but. Don't let that lead you to the wrong ......"

"You doubt I'm going to defect?" The withered sheep looked at Wei Hu in disbelief.

“……”

"Yes or no?"

“……”

"Yes or no?!"

"Yes!" Wei Hu, who had been silent for a long time, roared, and the green tendons on his forehead tensed.

"......" The withered sheep narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and his eyes revealed the resentment in his heart. His right hand slowly touched the sword at his waist and said in a deep voice. "What if I say no?!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the door was kicked open with a bang, and the withered sheep subconsciously turned his head to look, and was stunned that dozens of soldiers rushed into the house, each with a crossbow, and after surrounding him, the crossbow arrow was aimed at his body.

"Don't force me to ......," Wei Hu's eyes flashed with a look of pain.

"Hu. You ......" the withered sheep glared at Wei Hu angrily. Thinking about it, he didn't expect Wei Hu to do such a desperate thing, so he could only watch as a group of soldiers came over and unloaded the weapon in his hand and tied him up with ropes.

"There is a cellar in this house, and I have sent someone to clean it in advance. Ah Yang, and I am sorry that you are temporarily living here...... When the Zhou soldiers are repulsed, I will plead guilty to you again! Not daring to look directly into the angry eyes of the withered sheep, Wei Hu shouted in a low voice, "Take it down!" ”

"Yes!"

A vote of soldiers escorted the withered sheep away.

Looking at the back of the withered sheep leaving. Wei Hu let out a long sigh.

From the side, after looking at Wei Hu a few times, Wei Zhuang said intentionally or unintentionally, "General Wei Hu, Wei remembers." Wu Shuai's order was to get rid of the withered sheep...... When it has rebellious intentions! ”

"......" swept Wei Zhuang with a cold gaze, and Wei Hu said coldly, "From the mouth of the Heavenly General, this commander doesn't think that the withered sheep has rebelled behavior!" ”

"Isn't it a rebellion to meet the commander of the enemy army in private and make an agreement with the other party?"

Wei Hu's eyes became even colder when he heard this, and he said categorically, "How to judge this matter lies in the handsome, not the heavenly general!" ”

"Wei Shuai wants to protect the withered sheep? - That's Wu Shuai's order......"

"Don't come with Lao Tzu for this set!" Waving his hand to interrupt Wei Zhuang's words, Wei Hu said coldly, "Ah Yang may be jealous of your identity, but I, Wei Hu, am not afraid!" ”

Wei Zhuang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a low voice, "It's true that Wu Shuai trusts Wei Shuai, but Wei Shuai shouldn't be pampered and ......arrogant."

"What do you want?" Wei Hu snorted lightly and said with a sneer, "You think that only you can remove Ah Yang at any time, in fact, I can also remove you at any time!" ——One of the dignified five heavenly generals, he was actually sent to Niu Zhu as Ah Yang's subordinate general, do you still need Wei to explain? In other words, Wei was really a little curious, what did you Wei Zhuang do, so that he was eliminated from the ranks of his henchmen by Wu Shuai...... Could it be that he is planning to replace Wu Shuai? - Is it any wonder that you are worried about Ah Yang's military power, and you are so diligently searching for signs of contact between Ah Yang and the Zhou army, is it a plot to take over the military power in Ah Yang's hands? ”

"......" Wei Zhuang's face changed greatly when he heard this.

"Wonder how Wei would know? - Unlike you, Wu Shuai trusts me very much! Even if I, Wei Hu, pass the book to Wu Shuai, I will say that Lord Tianjiang unfortunately died on the battlefield......" In the end, Wei Hu's tone was very threatening.

"Is Wei Shuai threatening Wei?" Wei Zhuang asked with a calm face, and as he spoke, he glanced at the door, as if he was observing whether there were any of Wei Hu's personal soldiers outside the house, and at the same time said with a chuckle, "Actually, Wei Shuai unfortunately died on the battlefield, and Wei can also state to Wu Shuai if he is similar!" ”

"Oh?" Wei Hu, who had obviously noticed Wei Zhuang's actions, sneered when he heard this, licked his lips and said playfully, "Do you want to try?" ”

glanced at each other, and the murderous intent in the eyes of the two suddenly appeared, but in the end, Wei Zhuang retreated. After all, Wei Hu is the most brave of the young generation of generals in the Taiping Army, and his martial arts are far above the withered sheep, even if Wei Hu is seriously injured at the moment, Wei Zhuang is not completely sure.

[Bastard thing!] If it weren't for the damn Zhou general Liao Li who injured his right hand, how could you allow a junior like you to be so presumptuous?! ]

Thinking of this, Wei Zhuang held back the anger in his heart, chuckled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wei Shuai's words are serious, how dare Wei Zhuang have the slightest idea or delusion to replace Wu Shuai, and he was sent here, Wei Mou is also wondering where he offended Wu Shuai!" ”

Glancing at Wei Zhuang deeply, Wei Hu suddenly grinned, lowered his voice and said, "Then please ask Lord Tianjiang to put away your claws, if it stretches too long, don't blame Wei for chopping it!" - Remember, in this Jinling, one acre and three points of land, it is up to me Wei Hu to decide! ”

"Including the matter of the withered sheep?"

"Ah, including the matter of Ah Yang! - I owe Ah Yang a life, if anyone wants to kill him, I will kill him! ”

[Including Wu Heng?] ]

Looking at Wei Hu, who was full of murderous intent, Wei Zhuang didn't say what he thought in his heart very familiarly.

“…… Be! ——Wei Zhuang obeys the orders of the Heavenly Power God General! ”
