Volume 6 Chapter 6 Rumors Kill

PS: Xu Zhihao said that I heard one of the soldiers say that there are rumors everywhere in the army: Wang Zhenwei has obtained the power of arbitrariness and arbitrariness, and he can kill people at will.

Guo Xu couldn't help but interject: Isn't this nonsense! Wang Sima can only appoint and dismiss generals, and does not have the right to kill.

Xu Zhihao nodded, meaning that I know this. Then another soldier said who he wanted to kill? The first soldier said that the one he wanted to kill most was our General Shen, but it didn't stop there. He is a native of Guanzhong, and when he heard that this time he was going to continue this expedition, kill all the southerners from Jiangdong, and then send someone to report to the son of the captain to send him back to Jiangdong, and he proclaimed himself the king of Guanzhong here.

There was a thunderclap rolling through the room, knocking everyone to their feet.

This is of course nonsense, but the key is who will create this rumor.

They set up fires and roasted them for a whole day to roast the hard crust of the ground, and then they dug pits and buried the fallen soldiers.

Guo Xu and Xu Zhihao stood in front of Mung Dou's grave, one holding his helmet and the other holding his sword. The battlefield is not as good as his hometown, and there is no way to give the mung bean tree a decent stone tablet, so he can only find a wooden board and ask the scholars in the camp to write "The tomb of Lu Zhou, the master of the soldiers and flying cavalry of the Northern Mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty". The words are beautiful. The name of the mung bean has never been written so big and so thoughtfully. Guo Xu looked at the new cluster of ink, and still couldn't really believe that this person was gone.

New soil at the head of the grave.

The old man in the grave.

In the army are all brothers, but there are those who are brothers among brothers, irons among irons. Brothers are like siblings, and now they are incomplete; The iron, though hard, has worn off a corner. A few of them. In the past few years, I have been lucky and have experienced many big battles. has been alive in a group, this time to cut Qin. But he lost two at once. The vegetable insect died tragically before the war began, but the mung bean died again after the war had stopped. The vegetable worms and mung beans are broken, and it is difficult to make a decent wine order now.

Liu Yu once said that he wanted to build an ancestral temple for vegetable insects, but he came and went in a hurry, and he didn't care about such irrelevant details at all. When it came to Mung Bean, no one even proposed this kind of hole. Guo Xu remembered what Wang Zhen said on the road, and raised his eyes to see that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be irresolvable, and he didn't know that the fortune would be cloudy in the future.

sat in Chen Song's tent for a moment, without words. No alcohol, only a hug at farewell.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhen wanted to discuss military affairs with Shen Tianzi and Fu Hongzhi. In terms of the main building, Guo Xu is not qualified to attend the meeting, but as Wang Zhenxi's subordinate governor, he has the responsibility of personal protection.

In Wang Zhenwei's temporary marshal's mansion, although there was a brazier baking, the atmosphere was as cold as outside the door.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Wang Zhenwei could not deign to go to Shen Tianzi's camp. He didn't know that Shen Tianzi had ordered Liu Huibao to retreat, so he chose to be stationed 5 miles away from Shen Tianzi's former camp. Send someone to Xuan Shen Tianzi to come over to discuss the matter. Fu Hongzhi had already led the army to the meeting, and at this time he was stationed five miles away from the right wing of Wang Zhen's evil. He arrived early and was talking to Wang Zhenwei when the herald came back to say that General Shen's camp was almost empty. The soldier said that the army had retreated to Liu Huibao. Wang and Fu were both shocked, and Wang Zhenwei said that he would hurry up and go to Liu Huibao to find him.

Originally, Wang Zhenwei came to supervise the army and enterprising, but no one arrived. The reputable army has retreated, and there is nothing more blazing. As soon as Shen Tianzi arrived. Wang Zhenwei didn't care about greetings, so he asked him why he withdrew without permission. Although Shen Tianzi has always refused to accept Wang Zhen's evil. But because of his identity as a horse, he couldn't help but hold the courtesy of a general, and he originally wanted to suppress his temperament and greet him with a smile, but now he was asked by his head, and an evil fire came out, ignoring the eyes handed over by Fu Hongzhi, and he pushed back stiffly:

As the commander of the first army, I choose to advance and retreat according to the shape of the front line, which is where the responsibility and power lie, where does it come from? Could it be that all the armies in Guanzhong are marionettes, and every move must be controlled by Sima? ”

After Wang Zhenwei questioned Shen Tianzi just now, he actually regretted it a little, and was thinking about how to make up for it without a trace, but Shen Tianzi did not care about humility, if he couldn't defeat his arrogance, it would be difficult to command him in the next step. After all, he is the head coach of the side, and if he blindly covers up with his subordinates in details, he will not only lose his identity, but also lose the overall situation. He took a deep breath, got up slowly, held the desk with both hands, and leaned forward:

"You're right, you're not marionettes, you're veterans. So let me ask you, as a veteran, do you know that military orders are like mountains? ”

Shen Tianzi snorted and replied disdainfully.

"Excuse me: Who gave the order to march into the army?"

Shen Tianzi knew in his heart that this marching order was actually what Wang Zhenevil meant, but the document issued to him was stamped with Liu Yizhen's seal.

"Of course, it is the order of Liu Yizhen, the assassin of Lingyong and Eastern Qin."

"Very good, then do you want to tell me if Yizhen Assassin Shi has a military position?"

"I don't need to ask! He was the military and Anxi general of the three states of Yong, Liang and Qin. ”

"Then General Shen asks me to tell me, since he has such a big military power, can he give you an order that can be abolished?"

Shen Tianzi was silent. Wang Zhenwei moved a Mount Tai, and his neck couldn't bear it.

"Asking you to enter the army, you delay and bargain with your superiors, you are already guilty in itself. Yizhen Assassin Shi is deeply afraid of the inconvenience of remote control, respects your command, and does not punish immediately, it is already a grace. But you have to inch in, give up the land, and withdraw from the army without authorization, do you yourself say that the righteous and true assassination history has the right to use the military to rule you down? ”

I knew in my heart that everything the other party said was right, but I just couldn't bear the anger of being beaten by Wang Zhen's evil. Especially when I heard "You yourself say that you have the right to use the military to rule you", I was even more scorched by anger. Full of heart is a voice: If you want to control me, just come! Don't pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner, your words will be true!

Thinking so in my heart, my mouth was cut off:

"If Yizhen Assassin Shi thinks that Shen Tianzi is guilty, and wants to withdraw and kill, just give an order, you can't press me here! Why is your king above us all? Isn't it just a sharp mouth, can you ask for some food from the common people? ”

When Wang Zhenwei heard this, he laughed instead:

"I'm crushing you? You've finally spoken your mind. People say that you and I don't get along, and I can't figure out why? The Northern Expedition destroyed Qin. You hit yours, I'll hit mine. You have your credit, I have my record. The well water does not interfere with the river water, so it is said that there should be no festival. So I never believed that you would really hate me, and now it seems that I was so naΓ―ve. But these trivial personal grievances don't matter now. How should you punish the crime, you don't need an order from Yoshishin Taishou, I can do it here. Yoshishin Taishou has granted me arbitrary power at the front, and although I can't execute you on the spot, I can rob you of your military power. A cage of prisoner carts, escort you back to Chang'an! ”

Shen Tianzi's forehead was oozing with sweat. He thought that Wang Zhenwei would get the command of the front, but he didn't expect that he would get the privilege of arbitrary appointment and dismissal. According to Taiwei's design, it shouldn't be like this, presumably Wang Zhen was clever and persuaded Liu Yizhen and Wang Xiu. The shape in front of him took a sharp turn, and if he carried it down again, it angered Wang Zhenxi, who was likely to be ruthless. Without him, Shen Tianzi. Wang Zhenwei still led Fu Hongzhi to win the battle, and at that time, one side was the victorious guest, and the other side was a prisoner who was brought to military discipline, and there was a difference between the world. I can't even think about it.

Peeked at Fu Hongzhi again, this deputy in the past, now closes his eyes. didn't say a word, it was obvious that he was putting on a posture of staying out of the matter and not getting involved in private fights.

There was a moment of silence. Make up your mind and get down on your knees without Hu's bed:

"Shen Tianzi has no big picture. Confused for a while, please forgive Sima. At the moment of the great enemy, I hope Sima will raise his noble hand and let Shen Tianzi continue to serve in the army, be the vanguard of the army, and make meritorious contributions. ”

This turn is a bit abrupt.

Fu Hongzhi couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Shen Tianzi carefully. This old partner from the past, he knows it very well. His person is more than strong, but not feminine, and he would rather bend than bend if he says it is good, and he only takes advantage of it and does not suffer losses when it is ugly, and he is the same for his enemy teammates. Now that he can take the initiative to bend down to show weakness, he is really impressed by the three days. But after all, this is not the time for infighting, Shen Tianzi's ability to fight can still be used, and the feelings of the old people cannot be ignored, but he surrendered to Wang Zhenxi:

"General Shen will correct his mistakes when he knows them, all relying on Sima's guidance, and the last general will have the courage to speak out, and give General Shen a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Wang Zhenwei didn't expect Shen Tianzi's attitude to change so quickly. In fact, when he came, he didn't think about what to do with Shen Tianzi, as long as the latter was willing to obey the command, everyone would work together to repel the Xia soldiers, resolve the immediate crisis, maintain unity in face, and ignore the small abacus in private. Just now, he took out the dictatorship to suppress Shen Tianzi, just to polish him. Since she is interested, she has to accept it when she sees it. walked out from behind the case and helped up Shen Tianzi, who was half-kneeling:

"General Shen is brave and strategic, and everyone in the world knows it. The suppression of evil is not intended to embarrass the general, but the captain entrusts us with his own flesh and blood, if we can't fully support it, how can we still have the face to see Jiangdong's fathers. General, please get up, time is tight, let's hurry up and discuss the next step. ”

As soon as the personnel is resolved, the war is actually simple. Spread out the map and look at it, Helian Bingfeng arrived at the Wei River a few days ago, and the surface of the Wei River has already frozen more than three feet, and the army can completely cross the river by stepping on ice. In terms of geographical advantages, although Shen Tianzi's retreat to Liu Huibao is not the best policy, it is not a big mistake, at least there can be a strong base to rely on. But in the current situation, the Xia soldiers are gaining momentum, and if the Jin army takes the defensive, it can only prolong the fighting spirit of the other party. What's even more terrifying is that if the Xia soldiers leave a partial division to monitor Liu Huibao, and the army goes around and goes straight to Chang'an, and the defenders of Liu Huibao are entangled and unable to return to the division to support, then the overall situation will deteriorate faster.

Wang, Shen, and Fu were all experts in the family, once they put aside their personal grievances and pondered the battle situation with their hearts, they quickly reached a consensus, agreeing that Shen Tianzi would immediately transfer the army back to the bank of the Wei River, and create a momentum to cross the river to attack the Xia army to attract the attention of the Xia army, and at the same time, Fu Hongzhi crossed the river upstream and attacked the Xia army in a roundabout way. After Fu Hongzhi started, Shen Tianzi waved his army straight forward, and the two armies took a pincer offensive. Part of the cavalry was drawn from the Shen and Fu armies to form a guerrilla army, which was personally commanded by Wang Zhenwei, who came like wind and rain and went like thunder and lightning, concentrated on cutting off the grain route of the Xia army, and finally served as a general offensive reserve.

After Shen and Fu Er left, Guo Xu told Wang Zhenwei about Hu Lu's expedition to test the combat strength of the Xia army, and the latter said to invite this person to me quickly, and go now. That night, Wang Zhen set up a drink, invited Chen Song and Hu Lu Zheng, and Guo Xu to accompany him, and asked Hu Lu Zheng to tell him the whole process of this battle, and not to miss a detail. After a night of talking, Wang Zhenwei was already confident about breaking Helian Xuan this time. After dawn, he did not feel sleepy, and ordered his subordinates not to disturb, and locked himself up and pondered for a day. The next day, Shen and Fu were summoned again and put forward a bolder plan, that is, to form the rangers mentioned last time to be larger. The combat mission is not only to cut off the food routes of the Xia army, but to bluff them. Attack towards the territory of Great Xia, and fight as far as possible. Not only did they attack the enemy's baggage troops and burn down the grain and guard posts. Moreover, if you want to take the initiative to attack the city, it is always killing people and setting fires, and the soldiers are pointing directly in the direction of Tongwan, and the bigger the movement, the better. Cancel Fu Hongzhi's flanking mission, combine his and Shen Tianzi's army into one, and raid the main force of the Xia army at the appointed time, while the guerrilla army will return to the division at this moment and launch an attack from the rear.

Shen and Fu applauded the case, saying that it was so. Don't worry about the summer army not breaking.

Chen Song and Hu Luzheng rode out on a march, and they needed to hurry up to raise baggage to protect them from the cold, sheepskin robes, cowhide armor, ox and mutton fat applied to their faces and hands to protect against frost, felt boots, felt sleeping mats, cotton mattresses, tinder, gold sore medicine, beef jerky, and wine. Although the food is due to the enemy, it is also necessary to carry a baggage cart. The slightest omission can lead to a small detail. It took about three days or so, and all the horses were ready, and the rangers were to send out the next morning.

That night, Chen Song prepared a table of wine and pulled Hu Lvzheng. Ask Guo Xu and Xu Zhihao to come over.

This time, the rangers were fighting in the territory of Great Xia, and the army was alone in and out, and there was no rear, and there could be no reinforcements. In case of encountering heavy enemy troops, there is no hope of running back. Although the main forces of Great Xia have all gathered around Guanzhong, no one dares to say that their territory has become a chaff radish. Hu Lvzheng was cruising on the border of Guanzhong before. He had lost more than 30 brothers, not to mention that he was going to other people's territory this time.

I have this shadow in my heart. It's hard to get back to the wine game. What's more, vegetable insects and mung beans have already become ghosts, and the madman is in Chang'an.

After drinking two glasses in a muffled voice. Hu Luzheng picked up chopsticks, knocked on the edge of the plate, and sang:

I rode across nine rivers

You're still with me

I'll tell you to go back to Konoha Mountain

That's our nest

I rode over nine mountains

Two lines of tears on your face

I'll tell you to go back to the Hare River

Waiting for me to return to my hometown

You said you were going to come with me

It's too lonely to be alone

I'd rather hold hands on the road

Refuses to sleep on empty felt

Take one of your braids with you

Right by your side

Wait until you get your braids back on

My brother went back to the prairie

His original intention was to sing a little song to make everyone happy. But his heart is also abrupt, and the songs he sings are naturally sad. It's a love song, but it's a parting love song. Replace the brothers and sisters with brothers, and the sadness of farewell is unchanged, just to spit out the full sorrow of the four tonight. The song landed, no one applauded, and Hu Luzheng was a little embarrassed. Chen Song saw it in his eyes and said that the fox brother sang a love song, and I will tell you a story, which is also about men and women. Well, it's suitable for Guo Xu to listen to, because of the things in the story, he has been doing a lot of things these days.

Everyone understood the meaning and laughed for the first time.

Chen Song said that there was a young man named Guo Xu, who was a scholar, who had been studying hard at home since he was a child, and had never gone out, except for his mother, and had never seen a few women.

Guo Xu said, why do you use my name.

Chen Song said strangely, there are many names and surnames in the world, so you are allowed to be called Guo Xu, and no one is allowed to call it. What's more, people were born earlier than you.

The brothers laughed and said that his name was Guo Xu, which was good.

Chen Song said that Guo Xu went out for the first time, and he wanted to go to a relative who was an official, so as to find an official position. Mother educated him, saying that you are still a child, and you can't break the lust ring on any woman, and you must let this uncle find you a good girl from a big family. My mother will give you a bracelet, and when you meet a good girl who is satisfied, she will put it on her, which is a token of love and firmly traps her. Along the way, I don't know how many bad women want to seduce you, you must defend your mother.

Everyone can already think that the "Guo Xu" in this story will definitely not be able to hold on, but they don't know where the demon girl will lose his identity as a child man. As for Guo Xu himself, he couldn't help but think of his child man, who was thrown into a prostitute in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard that "Guo's mother" taught her son.

Chen Song said he found that no one had seduced him along the way.

Everyone laughed.

The more no one seduced him, the more curious he became, and later, he simply hoped that a woman would seduce him. It's a pity that the cooks, the female guys and the girls on the road in the inns on the road don't even seem to look at him much, let alone seduce. In fact, he doesn't really understand what seduction is.

The crowd laughed again.

Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, curiosity turned to chagrin, and one day he went to the toilet on the side of the boat. I couldn't help but say to myself that my mother lied to me, why didn't anyone seduce me.

This is something that all of you have secretly said to yourself. Everyone understands.

That night, he slept in the cabin. In the second half of the night, a very beautiful and charming girl suddenly came, claiming to be the daughter of a certain family on the shore, and fell in love with him at first sight on the road today, and was willing to promise to each other, and tonight they will have sex together.

The brethren could not help but envy such an adventure, and their hearts were filled with saliva welling in their hearts.

Where can this young man have the slightest resistance, so the two of them have been in a cloud and rain several times, and they have been upside down. The scholar loved this girl to death, and remembered his mother's words. So he took out the bracelet and put it on her. When I woke up the next day, I found the time and space around me, thinking that I was dreaming, but when I looked at the bed, there were indeed traces of lovemaking, which you all know.

Everyone laughed evilly.

Looking at the baggage again, the bracelet is indeed gone. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see the girl come back, and he was anxious. I went out to look for it, but I didn't find it. I suddenly remembered that the girl had said her address last night, so I inquired all the way, and sure enough, there was such a place. But there are no beautiful girls in my family. He didn't give up and went to the courtyard to look for it.

Several brothers held their breath and waited for Chen Song to shake off his burden. Chen Song deliberately stopped. Took a bite of the dish and drank a glass of wine. Only then did he say slowly:

"There's a pigsty at the very bottom of the yard with a sow in it. I saw him humming and screaming, and then I looked at the hoof on the left, and there was really a bracelet on it. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Chen Song's story sounded the gong and opened the way, and finally reversed the atmosphere, everyone told jokes, sang, and ordered, and there were thousands of cups of wine for confidants. In the middle, Xu Zhihao went out to pee, but he didn't come back for a long time. Guo Xu said that he fell into the pit, Hu Luzheng said that he should be peeing while complaining that no one seduced, and was abducted by the sow essence who didn't know where, and at this time he was hating himself for not carrying a bracelet with him?

was laughing, Xu Zhihao came back, his expression was a little strange.

Hu Luzheng said Look, I'm not wrong, he just feels like he has been tricked into bed.

Chen Song stretched out his hand to stop Hu Luzheng and asked Xu Zhihao: What's wrong?

Xu Zhihao said it was strange.

Everyone asked in unison: What is strange?

Xu Zhihao said that I found half of the earthen wall and relieved my big hand here, and after a while, two or three soldiers came over there, and they were all squatting pits. They chatted and said something that scared me.

What scared you?

Xu Zhihao said that I heard one of the soldiers say that there are rumors everywhere in the army: Wang Zhenwei has obtained the power of arbitrary killing, and he can kill people at will.

Guo Xu couldn't help but interject: Isn't this nonsense! Wang Sima can only appoint and dismiss generals, and does not have the right to kill.

Xu Zhihao nodded, meaning that I know this. Then another soldier said who he wanted to kill? The first soldier said that the one he wanted to kill most was our General Shen, but it didn't stop there. He is a native of Guanzhong, and when he heard that this time he was going to continue this expedition, kill all the southerners from Jiangdong, and then send someone to report to the son of the captain to send him back to Jiangdong, and he proclaimed himself the king of Guanzhong here.

There was a thunderclap rolling through the room, knocking everyone to their feet.

This is of course nonsense, but the key is who will create this rumor.

Xu Zhihao said that the other two soldiers said in a panic that we are all from Jiangdong, so we will also be killed. The one who spoke said that the heart of defense is indispensable, we still have to say hello to the brothers, in case they really want to come at us, we can't obediently wait for death, we have to fight to the death.

Chen Song's face turned pale, and when he looked at the others, they were all white.

Guo Xu suddenly stood up, bowed his hand to Chen Song, and said I'm sorry big brother, I can't drink here anymore, I must go back immediately and report the news to Wang Sima. Chen Song didn't answer, he was also thinking in his heart whether to report to Shen Tianzi and thoroughly investigate who was spreading rumors in the army. But a thought that he himself felt terrible swept through his heart, and he decided to wait and see what happened, not to alarm Shen Tianzi. He looked up and said to Guo Xu that Hu Luzheng and I will personally send you back. Guo Xu said no, there is Xu Zhihao. Chen Song almost sternly said that it must be sent, and his tone startled Guo Xu, and then he instantly understood Chen Song's intentions.

After returning to the camp, Guo Xu went straight to Wang Zhenxi, but at this moment it was already the second half of the night, Wang Zhenxi's personal soldiers said that Guo Zhenwei had something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow, Sima has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, we are distressed when we look at it, you just let him sleep well for a while, now it is no different from saying it after dawn.

Guo Xu turned around his tent and sat for a moment with a knife, but finally the wine was still rising and he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high.

Thinking of last night's incident, he hurriedly wiped his face and went to find Wang Zhenevil.

The soldiers said that Sima had gone out.

Where did it go?

General Shen Tianzi sent someone to invite Sima early this morning, saying that there was an important military situation, and asked Sima to go to General Fu Hongzhi's camp in person.

When Guo Xu heard Shen Tianzi's invitation, he remembered the news last night, and was shocked at first. Later, when I heard that I was going to Fu Hong's camp, I breathed a sigh of relief. But after taking two steps, he suddenly felt that the situation was wrong, so he got on his horse and ran back, called Xu Zhihao, and quickly ordered 500 cavalry, and the horse's hooves were like thunder, and they swept away. (To be continued......)
