The safe return of the withered sheep made Zhang Feng and Xu Changer really relieved, after all, they really thought that Wu Heng would reprimand the withered sheep for the fall of Jinling City, and even let the withered sheep bear the charge of the fall of Jinling.

And if things really happen to this point, I'm afraid that Wang Jian and Xu Chang will be powerless this time, after all, this is Guangling, and the main force under the command of Wu Heng, the fourth commander of their Taiping Army, is the soldiers under the command of the five heavenly generals alone, which are much more elite than their Niuzhu army, not to mention the direct descendant army under Wu Heng's account, the Tianxuan army.

"It's too risky, handsome......"

Even when he saw the withered sheep returning safely, Wang Jian couldn't help but complain.

To tell the truth, as early as on the way to Guangling with the Jinling army, Wang Jian persuaded the withered sheep more than once. After all, at that time, the three positions of Withered Sheep, Wei Hu, and Wei Zhuang in Jinling City were the highest, once Jinling fell, Wu Heng was bound to ask the three of them, and the most important thing was that the other two Wei Hu and Wei Zhuang had both died, which meant that Dry Sheep had to face Wu Heng's anger alone.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Wu Heng immediately detained or even beheaded the withered sheep after seeing him, Wang Jian and Xu Chang did not feel the slightest surprise. After all, counting the two times of Hengjiang and Niuzhu, the withered sheep was defeated by the Zhou army in three battles, not only lost the army, but also lost the vital city of Jinling, so you can imagine how angry Wu Heng will be.

"Isn't it, Dashuai ......" Scratching his head, Xu Chang also said in a low voice, "The last general thinks it, we might as well take advantage of the situation and vote for the Zhou army, after all, Dashuai has your brother-in-law's way ......."

may feel that defeat and surrender will be a bit damaging to face after all, Xu Chang seemed a little stumbling when he said this.

"Hmm......" The withered sheep replied softly, but he did not comment on what Xu Chang said.

Seeing this, Wang Jian and Xu Chang glanced at each other and stopped persuading. After all, some things are not good if they are too clear.

"By the way," as if thinking of something, the withered sheep said to Wang Jian and Xu Chang, "My brother-in-law will probably not be able to reach Guangling in a few days, even if he arrives in Guangling, he will join the soldiers and horses of Li Xian, the king of the eight sages outside the city. I don't think I'll immediately launch an offensive against Guangling......"

Indeed, after all, Guangling is also a major city in the south that is not inferior to Jinling, and the city wall as high as six or seven zhang is enough for Li Xian and Xie An to dispel the mind of storming the city before they are fully prepared.

"What do you mean?"

Glancing at Xu Chang and Wang Jian, the withered sheep said in a deep voice, "Taking advantage of this rare peaceful time, I want to sacrifice Wei Hu, Zhang Feng, Chu Ping, Guo Sheng and other generals who died in Jinling that day......"

"This ......"

Wang Jian and Xu Chang looked at each other when they heard this, although they also knew that the withered sheep's intention was just to pay tribute to Wei Hu, and at most add a Zhang Feng. As for Chu Ping, Guo Sheng and other generals, they are just foils, but the question is, is it really appropriate to pay tribute to the generals who died in the city right now?

"Dashuai, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right?" With a bit of hesitation on his face, Wang Jian said in embarrassment, "There are still tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers outside the city eyeing Guangling. A fierce battle is about to start soon, and we are waiting to prepare for the funeral. Isn't that a blind eye? ”

"That is to say, Dashuai...... It's okay if you know, but if you don't, you still think that I'm cursing my Taiping army to be defeated this time! Xu Chang continued Wang Jian's words and persuaded him.

In all fairness, Wang Jian and Xu Chang are right, after all, they do funerals before the war. It is still their own generals who pay tribute, which is quite a bad thing.

It's a pity that Wang Jian and Xu Chang didn't listen to the persuasion of the withered sheep at all, and waved his hand and said. "Okay, Ben Shuai has made up his mind, you don't have to persuade anymore, send someone to Zhang Luo to prepare. - By the way, invite as many people as possible, Ah Hu has a great kindness to me, and I hope that his posthumous affairs will be beautiful......"

Wang Jianyan's face was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and he said embarrassedly, "This ...... The last general thinks that I am afraid that not many people will be invited to ......"

“…… Go ahead! Sighing slightly, the withered sheep said in a deep voice.

"Yes......"

In the end, Withered Yang still didn't listen to Wang Jian and Withered Yang's advice and persuasion, because he really wanted to pay tribute to Wei Hu, a good comrade-in-arms and good brother in the Taiping Army. Maybe he didn't feel it in the past, but after Wei Hu died, he suddenly felt lonely. The indescribable depression almost made him breathless.

Facts have proved that what Wang Jian and Xu Chang said is true, although the withered sheep invited many people, but in the end there were very few people who came to the appointment to worship, it can be said that it was either the general of the Niu Zhu army or the general of the Jinling army.

During this period, the withered sheep even heard something that made him feel unbelievable, from the mouth of Wang Wei, the general of the Jinling Army.

That is, Wu Heng actually planned to break up the Jinling Wei Hu army, including the Tianquan army led by Wei Huzeng, who was the general of the Tianquan God, and disperse it into the rest of the armies to make up for the recent consumption of troops with the Zhou army.

When he heard the news, the withered sheep was shocked, and his face suddenly sank.

Although this kind of thing is commonplace, he also knows that Wei Hujun will inevitably suffer such a fate after returning to Guangling, and it is impossible for him to be in charge of it all the time, but ......

That's too fast, right?

It has only been half a day since he led the Jinling army to this Guangling!

"Was it an order from Wu Shuai?" The withered sheep asked in a deep voice.

"That's not ......" Wang Wei shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's just that the news from above says that Wu Shuai intends to break up our army and integrate it into various armies...... As for the order, it just told me to wait and count the number of people. ”

[It turned out to be just a rumor......]

The withered sheep secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in his mind, Wei Hu was also a general who was loyal to Wu Heng, so Wu Heng would not treat Wei Hu like this.

"Don't worry!" Reluctantly putting up a little smile, the withered sheep softly relieved, "Ah Hu was loyal to Wu Shuai before his death, and the withered sheep thought that Wu Heng would definitely leave your Tianquan army under the tent to listen to the ......"

"I hope so......" Wang Wei and Lu Yong, who was traveling with him, laughed bitterly when they heard this. It can be seen that they do not have much confidence in the words of the withered sheep.

In fact, in fact, the withered sheep himself does not have much confidence in his words, after all, the current situation of the Taiping Army is indeed very difficult, Fei Guo, who was once a member of the Taiping Army and was the Tianji Divine General of the Six Divine Generals, became the commander of the Jizhou Army of the Great Zhou, and led 20,000 Jizhou soldiers to occupy the critical road from Guangling to Xuzhou. It is like an insurmountable mountain, even if Wu Heng's Chinese army general Zhao Shi and the right army general Du Fang attack together, the Taiping army general, it will not have the slightest effect.

And Xie An's other sharp blade, Ma Dan, the deputy commander of the Jizhou Army, led an unknown number of cavalry to wander around the field of Guangling day and night, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the underprepared Taiping Army, which can be called unexpected.

It is said that these two Zhou soldiers have brought pressure to the Taiping army these days. Even in the end, some Taiping soldiers hated and cursed, saying that if it weren't for the Zhou army with Fei Guo and Ma Dan, they would have captured and killed Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages.

Perhaps these people didn't realize that they instinctively feared Fei Guo and Ma Dan.

And in this regard, the dry sheep's emotion is just glad that when he played against his brother-in-law Xie An on the battlefield, his brother-in-law did not have the help of these two fierce generals from the side, otherwise, it would be really unimaginable.

However, when I thought that even if these two generals Zhou Junmeng were not there, he still lost to his brother-in-law Xie An. The withered sheep could only smile bitterly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the next day came in a blink of an eye, and the withered sheep naturally guarded the mourning hall for Wei Hu and Zhang Feng, the loyal general who was assassinated by Wei Zhuang, but Wang Wei and Lu Yong of the Jinling army left around midnight.

It's not that the two of them have any other thoughts, it's just that a Taiping Army general came over to spread the word and called away Wang Wei and Lu Yong.

Looking at the backs of Wang Wei and Lu Yong leaving, there was a vague sense of foreboding in the heart of the withered sheep.

Sure enough, around noon. Wang Wei and Lu Yong returned to the residence of the withered sheep, and this time. But they had come to say goodbye to the withered sheep.

"Thank you for taking care of the Withered Sheep Marshal these days, and thank you Withered Sheep for helping me capture and kill the traitor Weizhuang and use his head to pay tribute to the Great-Boss...... I can't thank you enough! -- This time, we are waiting to say goodbye to the withered sheep handsome......"

"......" The withered sheep opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out half a word, he was smart. I thought of something in my mind.

And Lu Yong saw that the withered sheep didn't speak, and thought that the withered sheep was unknown, so he explained with a wry smile, "That's the case, the order was passed down from above in the early hours of this morning." Disperse our Jinling army and fill the ...... of all armies"

"Then you ......"

"Wang Wei was transferred to the command of General Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, and I was transferred to the command of General Du Fang, the general of the right army, both of which are the most scarce places......" Facing the question of the withered sheep, Lu Yong said with a wry smile, "Therefore, Wang Wei and I thought that we should say goodbye to the commander of the withered sheep before we set off, after all, in the future, there may be no chance to see each other again......"

"Ahem!" Wang Wei coughed beside him, and motioned with his eyes that Lu Yongmo wanted to continue. Immediately, he stepped forward and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the withered sheep.

"What is this?" The withered sheep's eyes showed a little doubt, and when he saw the letter signed, his face suddenly changed slightly, because the name of his only sister Yiyi was written on the letter.

This letter turned out to be a letter sent by Yi Yi from Jijing to the withered sheep a few months ago, but for some reason it fell into the hands of Wang Wei.

Seeing the suspicious gaze of the withered sheep and fox, Wang Wei said with some embarrassment, "That's the case, when Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, led the tun in the Hengjiang area of Liyang, my Jinling City was also under martial law in the whole city. After all, there were two assassins in the Zhou army, Dongling Zhong and Jinling Zhong, who were invincible and very powerful, so we couldn't afford to have the slightest omission, so Wei Shuai ordered martial law in the whole city, and checked the outsiders very carefully, but he didn't want to find this letter from a person's package...... Thinking about it now, that person is either an assassin from Dongling or an assassin from Jinling, he seems to be dressed as a merchant from a foreign country, and his martial arts are quite powerful......

"What about the man?" The withered sheep asked suspiciously.

"This ......" showed a little embarrassment on his face, Wang Wei said in a low voice, "That day, Wei Shuai personally led someone to investigate, and when he saw that the person was suspicious, he stepped forward to question, but unexpectedly, the assassin wanted to kidnap Wei Shuai and escape without saying a word, but Wei Shuai was killed on the spot...... After the body search, Wei Shuai searched for this letter from the man's arms, and then he suddenly realized that it was the person sent by your sister to deliver the letter from the withered sheep......"

"I've never heard Ah Hu talk about this......" muttered, and the withered sheep turned over the envelope, and he noticed that the letter had actually been opened a long time ago. Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning.

As if noticing the strange expression of the withered sheep, Wang Wei explained with an embarrassed face, "Wei Shuai originally didn't want to privately open the family letter of the withered sheep, but later Wei Zhuang revealed in front of Wei Shuai that the withered sheep handsome had a private meeting with your brother-in-law Xie An on the Hengjiang boat, Wei Shuai was suspicious, so he ......"

The withered sheep smiled bitterly when he heard this. muttered in a slightly mocking, slightly nostalgic tone, "It's still something that a real tiger would do...... What did my sister write in the letter? ”

"How dare this last general dare to watch it in private?" Wang Wei waved his hand again and again, and said, "However, Wei Shuai's appearance was really a little bad after reading this letter at that time, so he handed it over to the last general to deal with this letter privately, so don't let the dry sheep marshal know...... The withered sheep is handsome and clear. At that time, Wei Shuai was also hesitant about this matter, and he did not hesitate to open a jar of fine wine that he was reluctant to drink on weekdays......"

"It turned out to be the ...... that day" As soon as the jar of wine was mentioned, the withered sheep suddenly realized, and immediately said in confusion, "But at that time, Ben Shuai had reconciled with Ah Hu, and he didn't mention it...... Oh yes, this kind of thing, even if it's reconciliation. He won't tell me either...... That guy seems to be honest, but he actually has a lot of heart......"

Speaking of this, the withered sheep sighed secretly, in his mind, the reason why Wei Hu did not mention the letter after the reconciliation, obviously his withered sheep's sister Yiyi wrote in the letter to persuade her younger brother to join Zhou Jun, and Wei Hu knew that the withered sheep cared most about Yiyi, the only relative in the world, and did not want the withered sheep to be affected by this. Therefore, he kept the letter private.

At that time, Wei Hu probably still thought that he would be able to go to the battlefield with the withered sheep in the future. Supporting each other, he obviously would not have thought that his wish was destined to be difficult to achieve.

"Then you ......" played with the letter in his hand, and the withered sheep looked at Wang Wei suspiciously.

As if he had guessed what the withered sheep was thinking, Wang Wei said truthfully, "Originally, the general was indeed prepared to deal with this letter privately. As a result, just a few steps out of the city to defend the mansion, he suddenly received an alarm, saying that General Wang Jian was anti-...... cough, said that General Wang Jian attacked the West City Gate......"

On the side, Wang Jian scratched his forehead a little embarrassed.

"First of all, General Wang Jian captured the West City Gate. Then General Zhang Feng and General Xu Chang counterattacked the city, when the situation was so urgent that the last general forgot about it, and kept this letter close to him, until he was ready to change his clothes and armor to go to the account of Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army outside the city, to listen to it, only then did he notice that the last general's clothes and armor still contained this letter, so by the way, it was sent to the dry sheep marshal......"

"It's hard work!" Putting his sister Yiyi's family letter into his arms, the withered sheep hugged his fist gratefully.

"Don't dare, don't dare! In that case, Dry Sheep Commander, then I'll take my leave! ”

"Don't give ......"

"Please stay."

The withered sheep watched Wang Wei and Lu Yong leave together, and they couldn't think of any words to keep them, after all, they were both following the orders issued by Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, and he had no right to interfere in them.

After a while, Wang Jian walked in from outside the mansion and whispered a few words to the withered sheep.

I don't know what I heard, the withered sheep was stunned, raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Replenished the establishment of 20,000 people?" 20,000 people? ”

"Yes!" Nodding, Wang Jian explained in a low voice, "Just now I sent someone from above to spread the word, my Tianshu Army has expanded its establishment to 20,000 people, and the insufficient troops are drawn from the Jinling Army......"

Some people may find it strange that the withered sheep was obviously the commander of the 30,000 Taiping Army, so why did Wang Jian say that the establishment would be expanded to 20,000. In fact, the 30,000 people led by the withered sheep when he was in Niuzhu at that time can actually be carefully divided into two directly under the jurisdiction of the lineage army and the Niuzhu guards, the descendants of the army naturally refer to the Tianshu army led by the withered sheep who is the general of the Tianshu, and the Niuzhu army is the additional garrison sent by Wu Heng to prevent the Zhou soldiers, although it also belongs to the army under the command of the withered sheep, but in the final analysis, it is only temporarily in charge.

And now, although the strength in the hands of the withered sheep has been sharply reduced from 30,000 to 20,000, these 20,000 people belong to the Tianshu army, and they are the directly subordinate troops of the withered sheep. In other words, it seems that the number of troops in the hands of the withered sheep has decreased, but in fact it is the opposite.

"Wu Heng is wooing you!" Xu Chang whispered beside him, in a relieved tone.

"......" Withered Yang was silent, he knew very well how many troops he still had in his hands at the moment, even if he added the defeated soldiers who had been collected along the way after retreating from Jinling, it was only 17,000 people at full strength, in other words, Wu Heng had made up more than 3,000 people for him in one go.

More than 3,000 people, this is not a small number, just like Cheng Yang, the general of the Jizhou Army, the number of troops under his command is not more than this number, you must know that Cheng Yang is a general.

If in the past, with the nature of a withered sheep, he must have been a little complacent, after all, he was only a weak crown age, but now, he couldn't be happy. Because of the three thousand. It was drawn from the Jinling Army, and it was drawn from the Jinling Army, which the withered sheep did not want to make any further adjustments.

Glancing at the head of the Weizhuang enshrined in the mourning hall, and then at the remains of Wei Hu in the wooden coffin, the withered sheep was silent.

Two days later, on the southwest side outside Guangling City, Xie An, the brother-in-law of the withered sheep and the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was after pacifying Jinling. Arrived with an army. Because he wanted to deal with the aftermath of the turmoil in Jinling, Xie An arrived two days later than the dry sheep.

As expected by the withered sheep, Xie An did not rush to attack Guangling City after leading the army to Guangling and successfully meeting with Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, but ordered his soldiers to be busy preparing all kinds of equipment and materials needed for the siege, rushing cars, wells, and ladders, and the more than 40,000 Zhou soldiers in the main camp of the Zhou army were preparing day and night, which undeniably brought a lot of pressure to the Taiping army in Guangling City.

Of course. Although the Zhou army did not attack Guangling, this does not mean that there has been no fighting in the past two days, at least in the two sides of the division is in full swing. For example, Fei Guo, the commander of the Jizhou Army, and Zhao She, the general of the Taiping Army.

In fact, compared to Guangling, where there has been no war for the time being, the field of Guangling City has become the main battlefield for the two armies to compete for hegemony. Not to mention the elusive cavalry team of Zhou General Ma Dan, even Fei Guo sent Su Xin and Li Jinger to lead the cavalry in the field, gradually compressing the Taiping army's control over the field. Until the final suppression of the strength of the Taiping army to Guangling City, and then realize the entire plan of besieging on all sides and completely destroying the main force of the Taiping army.

That's exactly what happened. Wu Heng ordered Wei Hu's Jinling Army, including the Tianji Army, to be dispersed and supplemented to various generals, especially Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, and Du Fang, the general of the right army, after all, the location of these two Taiping generals can be the front line of the current war, and the daily fierce battle has led to extremely fierce attrition of troops.

From an objective point of view, the withered sheep did not feel that there was anything wrong with Wu Heng's order. After all, instead of letting the Jinling army, which had lost its general Wei Hu, have nothing to do in Guangling City, it is better to directly disperse and charge the various armies, so as to gain the upper hand when engaging with the Zhou soldiers; But from a subjective point of view, the withered sheep really didn't want Wu Heng to do this.

You must know that the treatment of the descendant army is different from that of the ordinary army, just like Wang Wei and Lu Yong, the two former subordinates of Wei Hu. After they are transferred to the command of Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, and Du Fang, the general of the right army, will they really be reused by those two generals?

Not necessarily!

At best, it's just a pawn, and to put it more colloquially, it's cannon fodder, it's an outcast, and it's just a prop for the two generals to win when they fight with the Zhou army.

After all, Wei Hu trusts Wang Wei and Lu Yong, it doesn't mean that Zhao Shi and Du Fang will also trust Wang Wei and Lu Yong. In the eyes of the withered sheep, this kind of pre-war temporary transfer order is extremely fatal and dangerous for generals like Wang Wei and Lu Yong, who have lost their backers, because once they are transferred to a strange place, their position will become quite embarrassing.

Sure enough, on the third day after Wang Wei and Lu Yong were transferred, the withered sheep received bad news respectively.

First of all, Wang Wei, he was reprimanded by the latter for putting forward other opinions on defense when the Chinese general Zhao Shi proposed to attack the military camp where the Zhou general Fei Guo was, and then Wang Wei was ordered by Zhao Shi to lead the army to attack Fei Guo's Dazhai at night.

And it turns out that although Fei Guo is not yet a peerless fierce general who can match Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, and Thunder, he is better than all-round ability, and has his own unique set of routines in both offense and defense, how can he be so easy to deal with?

Although Zhao She's main army retreated extremely quickly and did not suffer much loss, Wang Wei was ordered by Zhao Shi to stay behind, and was cut off by Fei Guo, the first fierce general of the Jizhou Army who personally led the troops to pursue.

Then there was Lu Yong, a general who was actually quite capable in the eyes of the withered sheep, who was ordered by Du Fang, the general of the right army, to occupy a mountain and occupy the highest point. Du Fang wanted to use this to lure out the elusive Zhou general Ma Dan and nearly 10,000 cavalry under his command, but Ma Dan didn't plan at all, and even planned to attack Lu Yong's small camp on the mountain, but in fact, the target was Du Fang's camp.

In the middle of the night, where did Lu Yong know Ma Dan's real goal, and when he saw that he was attacking his own camp, he sent a signal for help to Du Fang according to the plan. As a result, when Du Fang led his troops to surround the hill with a strong fighting spirit, the large camp he set up was attacked by Ma Dan. Ma Dan set fire to most of his camp.

Du Fang, who was embarrassed and angry, was furious, and without saying a word, he beheaded Lu Yong on the charge of lying about the military situation, and scattered the troops under his command again.

Perhaps in the eyes of those two heavenly generals, the general of the Jinling Army, who lost Wei Hu, who was the backer, was just a soft persimmon kneaded at will.

In this regard, the withered sheep was angry. I can't help but lament. After all, Wang Wei and Lu Yong expressed to him a few days ago that they were willing to be included in his withered sheep tent, and withered sheep were also quite optimistic about these two generals.

Don't look at Wang Wei being beheaded by Fei Guo, then you have to see who it is compared with, you must know that on the night in Jinling, Wang Wei led his subordinates to be attacked by Zhao Cheng, the general of Weizhuang and the Niu Zhu Army under the command of Xu Chang, but in the end, Zhao Cheng never killed Wang Wei, it is not difficult to imagine that Wang Wei's martial arts are still stronger than Zhao Cheng and Xu Chang. It's a pity that he ran into Zhou General Fei Guo.

Who is Fei Guo? Five years ago, he was a fierce general at the level of six god generals, and he who could take over Liang Qiu Hao's full slash, how many people are there in the whole world? At least the withered sheep can't take Liang Qiuhao's knife, and Wei Hu can't take it, as for those so-called five-party heavenly generals, the withered sheep doesn't think those people can take it, after all, Liang Qiuhao is the world's first fierce general who has not been born for hundreds of years, although he died in battle. But it is still a giant peak that is difficult for the world's generals to surpass even if they spend their entire lives.

Therefore, Wang Wei died in the hands of the Zhou general Fei Guo. The withered sheep was not surprised at all, he was just angry, angry that Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, actually asked Wang Wei to face Fei Guo alone, obviously he Zhao Shi was able to defeat Fei Guo, although he would not defeat Fei Guo, but at least he could retreat with his whole body......

If Wang Wei died in the hands of Fei Guo, it can be understood as the fate of a military general. Then Lu Yong's death is unimaginable.

Obviously, Du Fang, the general of the right army, was a reckless man with shallow strategies, and was easily seen through by Zhou General Ma Dan, but in the end, Lu Yong had to carry this black cauldron.

In the eyes of the withered sheep, although Wang Wei and Lu Yong's strength is not top-notch, it will not come to this point. It can only be said that Zhao Shi and Du Fang will not use it, and the typical generals have no plan to drag down their generals.

Even, the withered sheep maliciously guessed whether Zhao Shi and Du Fang deliberately wanted to kill Wang Wei and Lu Yong, so that the Jinling army could be completely dispersed and brought under their control.

But then again, the withered sheep is obviously beyond the reach of the whip, after all, he is busy handling the white affairs of Wei Hu, Zhang Feng and others at this time, and when he finishes dealing with the things here, those Jinling troops who were scattered have either changed their surnames to Zhao or Du, and there is no trace of Wei Hu left in the army.

The Jinling Army that Wei Hu once commanded, except for the 3,000 people under his withered sheep, seems to have completely disappeared, what Jinling defenders, what Tianquan Army, there is no such establishment in the Taiping Army, as if at the moment when Wei Hu died of anger, the Jinling Army under his command also went with it.

However, this kind of thing, Withered Sheep was actually expected, after all, when Wang Wei and Lu Yong came to him to resign, Withered Sheep had already felt some bad things, but it was just hard to say, after all, the fourth generation commander of the Taiping Army was not him.

However, even putting aside the matter of Wang Wei and Lu Yong, there is still a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment in the withered sheep's heart.

It's like saying that the white things he handled for Wei Hu and others, other generals didn't come in order not to touch their brows, and the withered sheep could understand it, but he didn't expect that even Wu Heng didn't come, but just sent someone to send a few envelopes of white ash for the mourning hall to use.

In all fairness, Dry Yang also understands that Wu Heng is the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, and now that the Zhou army is approaching Guangling, there will naturally be endless things, but after all, he is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, in the eyes of the withered sheep, the rest of the people can be relieved if they don't come, but Wu Heng can't, after all, Wei Hu was loyal to Wu Heng during his lifetime, but after Wei Hu died, Wu Heng didn't even come to the mourning hall once......

Should it be said that the use of people is facing forward and not facing backwards, or is it that the old people have passed away and all feelings and meanings are gone?

Under the weather......

Full of discomfort!

Glancing at the empty mourning hall, the withered sheep was silent.

According to the customs of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the dead can be buried after three days of vigil, and the dead sheep is kept in the mourning hall for three days. He originally thought that Wu Heng would always find some time to come to visit in the past three days, even if it was just to put a stick of incense on Wei Hu, so that he could comfort Wei Hu's spirit in the sky, and Wei Hu's loyalty to him during his lifetime.

However, for three days, Wu Heng never showed up. Except for sending someone to send a letter of white wax, Wu Heng didn't even say anything about Wei Hu's death.

On the contrary, Liu Yan, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who had nothing to do with him and Wei Hu before, had come to visit him once and wrote a lamentation for Wei Hu in his own handwriting.

Not to mention, Liu Yan deserves to be worthy of writing family letters for others by setting up a calligraphy and painting stall at the intersection of Guangling Road, and he is really a good handwriter. The pen is strong and extraordinary.

But......

The withered sheep's heart was still uncomfortable, after all, the most important person to Wei Hu had never appeared.

Because the Zhou army was vigorously compressing the Taiping army's control over the field outside the city, the city was full of Zhou army's scouts and scouts, not to mention Ma Dan's elusive cavalry team, so the withered sheep had to dispel the original idea.

He originally wanted to bury Wei Hu in the mountains and forests outside the city. He found a place with good feng shui and beautiful scenery to serve as Wei Hu's grave, but now, he can only bury Wei Hu in a vacant lot near the southeast side of Jinling City.

Before and after asking the corporal to carry Wei Hu's coffin into the ground, there were many people and Taiping soldiers pointing and pointing on the road. For the people, the withered sheep didn't care at all, after all, he knew very well which people were just like to join in the fun; But for those Taiping soldiers......

Looking at the displeased looks in the eyes of those Taiping soldiers, especially the generals, the withered sheep became more and more resentful.

[How?] Aren't you even allowed to be buried?! ]

The withered sheep's heart was furious. It may be that his murderous eyes scared away a large number of Taiping generals at that time. So much so that Wei Hu and the others' white affairs were still quite calm after all, at least there were no extraneous branches.

[The world is cold!] ]

When the aftermath of Wei Hu and others is dealt with. When the withered sheep walked alone on the streets of Guangling City, the word came to his mind from time to time.

The people in the city who were talking a lot, the Taiping soldiers who passed by from time to time, the Taiping generals who met head-on, even Wu Heng, who had summoned him when he was doing white things for Wei Hu and others, all said that the battle in Guangling City was coming. As for Wei Hu and the others who died in Jinling before, no one bothered to mention it, as if Wei Hu and the others had never appeared......

Thinking of this, the withered sheep's eyes lit up and walked towards Wu Heng's residence. That is, the official residence of Zhang Qi, the former Guangling County.

On the day of the attack on Guangling, Wu Heng slaughtered Zhang Qi, the county guard who had intersected with Xie An, after all, don't look at Zhang Qi who once hooked up with the rich in the city, and also did some hurtful things, but this person is quite scrupulous to his duty as a Great Zhou official, when Wu Heng led the army to attack Guangling, he defended the city, and cooperated with Liang Shu, the capital of Xuzhou Prefecture, who came to the rescue, and once repelled Wu Heng.

It's a pity that Zhang Qi is a civil official, and there are no fierce generals stationed in Guangling City, so that Guangling City finally fell, and two days before Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, led his army to Guangling County.

However, according to Kuyang's knowledge, the reason why Guangling City was broken was because Wu Heng had the support of Wan Li, the head of the Guangling Assassins, so the Guangling Assassins secretly held the county guard Zhang Qi hostage and threatened him to order the defenders in the city to give up resistance and open the city gate to let the Taiping army enter the city.

However, don't look at Zhang Qi who cowered in front of Xie An, the secretary of the criminal department, but in the face of Wu Heng and other Taiping soldiers, he scolded the dead thief, but Wu Heng cut off his tongue and showed the public on the street for three days and died of blood.

As for which version of the cause of Zhang Qi's death, the withered sheep at the moment obviously didn't have the heart to study it in detail, and he was eager to ask Wu Heng about something personally, such as Wang Wei and others.

"Yo, General Withered Sheep!"

Just as the withered sheep lowered his head and walked towards the county guard's mansion where Wu Heng lived now, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

Turning his head to look, the withered sheep was slightly stunned, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a little solemnity, because the identity of the person who came was not simple, but he was the fourth generation commander of the Taiping Army, Wu Heng, one of the five generals, one of the five generals, and Zhang Hong, the only general who stayed in Guangling City.

"It turned out to be the Lord of the Heavenly Generals of the Houjun Army......"

The withered sheep bowed his fist and saluted, seemingly respecting this Zhang Hong, but in fact, this overly polite act seemed extraordinarily distant.

It's no wonder, after all, Wei Hu, the good brother of the withered sheep, was killed by Wei Zhuang, one of the five heavenly generals, and even his withered sheep was almost burned alive by Wei Zhuang's design, so the withered sheep really has no good impression of these so-called five heavenly generals.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Hong, the general of the Houjun Heaven, didn't know if he didn't notice the deliberate alienation of the withered sheep, and he was waiting not far away. This made the withered sheep have to take a few steps and step forward to walk side by side with Zhang Hong.

"I'm sorry that Zhang is really not good to go to General Wei Hu's white affair in person, after all, that kind of thing is really not a good thing for military generals like us......"

After the withered sheep approached, Zhang Hong lowered his voice and whispered to the withered sheep in an apologetic tone.

The withered sheep was stunned. After reacting, he chuckled and said, "Where is it, it's just a matter of withered sheep, obviously my Taiping army is about to face an unprecedented fierce battle, but the withered sheep still has to touch everyone's moldy heads......"

"You can't say that," Zhang Hong shook his head and said, "General Wei Hu is also a fierce general of my Taiping Army, albeit young. At the same time, there is a difference between the six gods and the five heavenly generals, but Zhang has always admired General Wei Hu......"

"Lord Tianjiang is serious...... In other words, what is the trip of Lord Tianjiang? A heartfelt smile appeared on the withered sheep's face. Perhaps, he was very happy to hear Wei Hu's name after his death, at least it meant that Wei Hu had not been completely forgotten within the Taiping Army.

"I can't afford to be the general of the withered sheep...... If General Withered Sheep really wants to be so serious, then Zhang has no choice but to call General Withered Sheep you a god general......" Zhang Hong said with a smile, "As for Zhang's trip." It's not for anything else, General Withered Sheep also knows that there are Zhou troops outside Guangling City at the moment. The grain and grass reserves in the city have become a crucial problem for our army...... When we meet Wu Shuai, Zhang is going to present this matter to Wu Shuai! ”

"I see......" Withered Sheep nodded in realization.

While speaking, they had already arrived at the bedroom where Wu Heng lived in the county guard's mansion.

Seeing Wu Heng standing at the table in the room, staring at the marching map on the table and meditating, the withered sheep took a deep breath. Clenched his fists and called, "Wu Shuai! ”

"Dry sheep...... Wu Heng was neither surprised nor raised his head when he heard this, his eyes still scanned the battle between the Zhou army and his Taiping army on the marching map, and said slowly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes......" Withered Sheep nodded. Then he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The withered sheep questioned Wang Wei and Lu Yonger's death!" ”

"Oh?" Wu Heng raised his head when he heard this, and said with a chuckle, "Do you think that Zhao Shi and Du Fang's decision was wrong?" ”

"Yes!" The withered sheep said sonorously, "Wang Wei's death is all due to Lord Zhao She's rashness, as for Lu Yong's death, it is purely just Lord Du Fang's anger!" -- The withered sheep also knows the skills of Wang Wei and Lu Yong, and it was categorically not like this! ”

"I see," Wu Heng nodded, and said in an unclear tone, "You mean, Zhao Shi and Du Fang don't make good use ......of generals, do you?" ”

Facing Wu Heng's meaningful gaze, the withered sheep was not stunned at all, and said in a low voice, "If not, it is Zhao Shi and Du Fang who intend to get rid of Wang Wei and Lu Yong!" - Only in this way will they be able to fully control the Jinling soldiers who have been replenished to the army! ”

"......" may not have expected the withered sheep to say so bluntly, Wu Heng was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "Ben Shuai thinks that the withered sheep are too much to think about, they are all Taiping army brothers, how could Zhao Shi and Du Fang deliberately kill Wang Wei and ...... What is that? ”

"Lu Yong!"

"Yes, Lu Yong! -- In war, how can there be immortals? Moreover, Zhou General Fei Guo, the former traitor of my Taiping Army is not simple, even if it is because of His Royal Highness, but in the final analysis, Wang Wei died in his hands, it can only be said that he was unlucky......"

"Bad luck...... withered sheep muttered, and suddenly asked, "Then dare to ask Wu Shuai, what about Lu Yong?" ”

"Well...... Presumably Du Fang also has her own thoughts, right? ”

"......" The withered sheep was silent when he heard this, from Wu Heng's words, how could he not hear the meaning of Wu Heng's favoritism towards the five heavenly generals?

After thinking about it, the withered sheep said in a deep voice, "The last general asked Wu Heng Mo to abolish the establishment of the Tianquan Army...... Can you order the 3,000 Jinling soldiers under the command of the last general to form an army of their own and follow the Tianquan army......"

Before the withered sheep's words were finished, Wu Heng over there didn't know if he had just seen Zhang Hong, and said in surprise, "Zhang Hong, why are you here?" ”

Suddenly, the sound of the withered sheep stopped abruptly.

Probably noticing the strange expression of the withered sheep, Wu Heng glanced at the withered sheep apologetically, waved his hand and laughed repeatedly, "Okay, good, no matter what, dry sheep, just do what you want!" ”

[Anyway, it's fine...... Either way...... Either way......]

The withered sheep clenched his fists unconsciously, and his face, which had been deliberately suppressed, was blue and white, and then returned to its original state.

"Thank you Wu Shuai!" Hugging his fists, the withered sheep said goodbye to Wu Heng, turned around and walked out of the house.

When he walked into the courtyard, the withered sheep showed the anger in his eyes, and the thick deep anger made him look quite terrible at the moment.

Suddenly, the withered sheep inadvertently touched the letter from his sister Yiyi in his arms, the letter handed to him by Wang Wei himself.

I don't know what I thought, but a hint of determination flashed in the withered sheep's eyes.

At the same time, Wu Heng in the house had walked to the door of the house for some reason, and looked coldly at the back of the withered sheep when he left.

"Does Wu Shuai think he will fall for the scheme?" From the side, Zhang Hong, the commander of the Hou Army, asked in a low voice.

"Withered Sheep...... He has a cold face and a warm heart, and is a person who values affection and righteousness...... And what he has done in the past few days proves it! - He will! According to Ben Shuai's hope, he who feels worthless for Wei Hu will definitely have a rebellious heart, and then go to secretly communicate with the Zhou army, and conspire with me Guangling inside and outside...... In this case, Ben Shuai is in this Guangling City and annihilates the Zhou army in one fell swoop! (To be continued......)
