Chapter 415: Zhang Cigong
The more you think about it, the more scared he becomes, before confirming that it is safe, he did not dare to chase into the valley, and watched Liang Xiao leave.
Liang Xiao made his way forward, through a valley that was not too long, crossed the northern tributary of the Yellow River, and winded eastward. He didn't dare to go too quickly, for fear that King Youxian would see the flaw and catch up again. It wasn't until it was confirmed that King Youxian had retreated that he picked up his speed and rushed to Daze.
He and Cheng Buzhi are not far away, but King Youxian chased too closely and never gave him a chance to meet with Cheng Buzhi. Now that King Youxian has left, it only took him half a day to arrive at Daze.
Next to Daze, he met Wei Qing and the others who had just arrived.
Seeing the appearance of Liang Xiao and the others, Wei Qing was taken aback, turned over and dismounted. "Boming, ...... you are"
"Haha...... It's a bit miserable, isn't it? Liang Xiao laughed twice at himself. Is there anything to eat? Hurry up and get us some. I haven't been able to have a good hot meal for a few days. ”
Wei Qing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for someone to prepare food for Liang Xiao. As soon as he said a few words, Zhang Cigong got the news and rode his horse over, and when he saw Liang Xiao's appearance, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Yo, who is this, but it's really majestic, and you've won the battle again?"
Liang Xiao didn't know Zhang Cigong, glanced at him, and didn't say anything. He knows that he doesn't look good now. was stared at by King Youxian for two days, and he almost didn't close his eyes, and he didn't even have a chance to wash his face. The ash that stuck to his face when he set the fire that night was probably still there, anyway, when he picked his nose, he could always pick out the black ash, and the color of the saliva was also gray, not to mention his hands, the ten fingernails were all black.
But. He didn't think that the Zhang Ci Guild couldn't recognize him, whether it was his battle banner or his war horse, or Pang Shuo and Tuniu'er beside him. are enough to show his identity. Even if you only look at his closeness to Wei Qing, you should know who he is.
It's not very friendly. But we are people with status, and we can't be like him.
Liang Xiao ignored Zhang Cigong and asked Wei Qing, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Han Gong was worried that General Cheng was in danger, so he asked me and General Li to come over to support. General Li hurried and walked to the front. ”
Liang Xiao sighed, somewhat understood. Li Guang is one man and three horses. Wei Qing is the standard configuration of the Han cavalry, one person and one war horse, plus two percent of the reserve horses. The pace of the march on both sides could not be on one notch. Li Guang is not the kind of person who likes to have a good relationship, but he is afraid that he only cares about his own pleasure, grabs the front, and throws Wei Qing and others behind.
But. He didn't have a good time saying anything. can only deal with the past vaguely.
Zhang Cigong was already angry, and when he saw Liang Xiao's appearance, he was even more annoyed. He jumped off the horse, walked in front of Liang Xiao, looked up and down, and pretended to be surprised. "Yo, isn't this the famous champion Hou? Why does it look like this, it is that he has just defeated the Hun Shan Yu. Haven't had time to clean up yet? ”
Pang Shuo was furious. He and Zhang Cigong have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as a little friendship. He is Liang Xiao's doorman. Zhang Cigong was disrespectful to Liang Xiao, but he didn't take him seriously. He shouted: "Zhang Cigong, pay attention to your identity, don't forget to be humble." ”
Zhang Cigong had seen Pang Shuo a long time ago, but he didn't take Pang Shuo seriously at all. He glared at Pang Shuo and sneered. "Huge Tiger, pay attention to your identity, you are a person who is a house slave, dare to talk to me like this, not afraid that Lao Tzu will smash your mouth?"
"You might as well try it." Pang Shuo stepped forward and stood with a horizontal knife.
"You dare to threaten me?" Zhang Cigong was also angry, took out the war knife at his waist, held the knife in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Come on, let Lao Tzu see if you have grown in the past few years." ”
Liang Xiao frowned, a little unhappy. "Where did this idiot come from?"
Wei Qing was embarrassed and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang Cigong. "Second duke, don't be rude to the champion Hou."
"What a champion!" Zhang Cigong spat and scolded: "Looking at their declining appearance, they must have suffered defeat, this champion Hou can still do it for a few days, who knows?" Isn't it just the **** luck, and you really think you're a famous general. ”
Liang Xiao's brows furrowed even tighter. He bared his teeth and stood up, his eyelids drooping. "According to you, my title as a champion is not true?"
Zhang Cigong snorted. "Well, isn't it, you know it yourself."
"Are you saying that Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are unknown? Or is Your Majesty not smart enough to be deceived by me? ”
"You ......" Before Zhang Cigong could say anything, he was covered by Wei Qing. He struggled to break away, and wanted to scold again. Wei Qing was in a hurry, raised his leg is a kick, kicked him so much that he took a few steps back, and sat on the ground with his ass.
"Zhongqing, you ......"
"Presumptuous, Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, and the champion Hou deserves his name, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense?" Wei Qing gave Minister Zhang Ci a look again and again, and shouted: "Don't you plead guilty to the champion Hou? ”
Zhang Cigong wanted to argue again, but Gongsun Ao arrived just in time to hear their conversation clearly, and at this time he also rushed over, and took the opportunity to help Zhang Cigong and whispered a few words in his ear. When Zhang Cigong heard this, he realized Liang Xiao's insidiousness, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but he stood there stubbornly and refused to give Liang Xiao a salute to make amends.
Liang Xiao clapped his hands and looked at Wei Qing. "Zhongqing, I, the general of the defeated army, have no face to eat your food. Farewell. ”
"Bo Ming, Bo Ming......"
Liang Xiao ignored Wei Qing, turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and glanced at Zhang Cigong. "Boy, I'll give Zhongqing face today, and I won't worry about you. The next time you see me, you'd better stay away, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being black. Big Tiger, let's go. ”
"Whoa." Pang Shuo put away the knife, glared at Zhang Cigong, took a big stride, and followed Liang Xiao. All three of his horses were killed, and he couldn't find a suitable horse for a while, so he had to walk.
Zhang Cigong saw it in his eyes, and even more confirmed Liang Xiao's judgment of defeating the battle, and scolded endlessly. Wei Qing was furious and scolded a few times, so he could be considered to be more restrained. However, he is confident in his own judgment. Even Wei Qing was a little uneasy. The appearance of Liang Xiao and the others is too embarrassing, they are completely like lost dogs, and there is no other explanation except for losing the battle.
——
Liang Xiao rushed to the camp that Cheng didn't know.
Cheng Buzhi is cleaning up the battlefield. After two days of confrontation with the Huns, Li Guang arrived and became the last straw that crushed the Huns. As soon as they saw Li Guang's battle flag, the Huns collapsed and fled in all directions.
Li Guang led the cavalry to pursue, and Cheng did not know how to arrange for people to treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and count the casualties on both sides. These tedious tasks take time, but they are not careless. The military law of the Han army is very strict, and the wrong number of beheadings may be criminalized, Cheng Buzhi doesn't want to fight hard, but because of a few numbers, it will be in vain.
However, seeing Liang Xiao, Cheng Buzhi was in a very good mood.
"Bo Ming, why did it happen like this?" Cheng asked with concern.
"Well, don't mention it." Liang Xiao was angered by Zhang Cigong and was not in a good mood. "King Youxian chased me for two days, and he didn't even give me time to wash his face, and he almost killed me."
Liang Xiao told him about the situation in the past few days, Cheng Buyi laughed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If it weren't for his timely reaction and dragging King Youxian, it would be really hard to say whether Liang Xiao would have come back alive. When King Youxian first decided to rescue the rear army, it was 20,000 horsemen.
"How is the situation here, general, looking at this, it is a big victory?"
"Thanks to you for attacking the baggage of the Huns. The right virtuous king rushed to chase you, and the remaining Hun crowd was leaderless and had no intention of fighting. General Li arrived in time again, and I was in danger of a small victory. ”
"Haha, the general is modest." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "The general has defended here, which is a great achievement." As a result, the Xiongnu Shan Yu may have to withdraw their troops. General, you have to be ready, there are still tough battles to fight, you can't let Shan Yu go so easily. ”
"If that's the case, that's great." Cheng Buzhi was in a good mood, and he talked and laughed with Liang Xiao. "People are not suffering enough, and I always feel that this credit is not enough. The future is terrifying, you young people are better at fighting than the other, and if I don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid I will fall behind. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Changshi Chen Anping came over and told Cheng Buzhi that Wei Qing led 10,000 horsemen to come. Cheng Buzhi hurriedly asked Chen Anping to bring Wei Qing into the account. Although Wei Qing is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he is his deputy general, and he will not surrender his identity to meet him.
Not long after, Wei Qing and others came to the Chinese army. Seeing the situation on the battlefield, they knew that they were a step too late, and they had traveled for a few days, just to be meritorious witnesses for Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi, and their mood was inevitably unhappy. Seeing that Liang Xiao and Cheng Buzhi were talking lively, Zhang Cigong couldn't help it again. "The general of the defeated army, there is still a face to laugh here, it's really shameless."
Cheng Buzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately sank his face. "What are you talking about?"
Although Zhang Cigong did not regard Cheng Buzhi as a real official, he did not want to cause this misunderstanding. He hurriedly said: "General, isn't there someone who has suffered a defeat, and his face is as black as the bottom of a pot." ”
Liang Xiao smiled and didn't say anything, pretending not to hear.
Cheng didn't recognize it and immediately understood. He shook his head. "General Wei, this time I was able to hold the camp and repel the Huns, first, I want to thank you for your timely support, and second, thank Liang Xiao for the success of the surprise attack and burned down the Huns' baggage camp. If it weren't for this, the Huns would not have stopped so easily. ”
Wei Qing was stunned. Bo Ming...... Burned the baggage camp of the Huns? ”
Liang Xiao stood up, nodded with a smile, stretched out two fingers, and shook them in front of Zhang Cigong and the others. "Two. Why is my face so dark? The fire is too big, the things that are burned are too much, and the smoke is smoked. ”
Zhang Cigong's face immediately turned into pork liver, and he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
Wei Qing was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted and stepped forward to salute with a smile on his face. "Boming, you really live up to expectations and created another miracle."
"I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that some people will ......" Liang Xiao glanced at Zhang Cigong and laughed. I was disappointed. ”——
