Chapter 30: The forces of the five parties are in turmoil
After a few days of trekking, Shang Ping finally came to Pingyang County. Shang Ping dragged his tired body, probed all the way, and inquired about his uncle's mansion.
Shang Ping took heavy steps, and went to join his uncle, then he would not have a chance to join the army, and his dream in his heart may not have a chance to come true. In a trance, he came to his uncle's mansion, tidied up his hair, and asked the gatekeeper, "Excuse me, is this Zhang Yuanwai's mansion?" ”
The doorman guarding the door looked at him, and Shang Ping looked haggard because of the long journey. The doorman said, "This is Zhang Yuanwai's mansion, but it's not time for soup kitchens yet, so you can come back later." ”
Shang Ping heard what the doorman said, so he knew that Lu Dao was misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "This little brother, you have misunderstood, I am Shang Ping from Anyang County, and Zhang Yuanwai is my uncle." ”
The doorman looked at Shang Ping's appearance, although he looked a little haggard, but he was not a down-and-out child, so he said, "You wait, I'll go in and report to you to see if the master knows you." ”
After a while, the doorman led Shang Ping into the mansion, "It turned out to be Shang Gongzi, I was offended a lot just now, please forgive me, the master is now meeting guests." Let me lead you in, and you will come with me."
The product politely said, "Then it's troublesome little brother"
The doorman led Shang Ping to Zhang Yuanwai's study, and there were two people in the study at the moment, presumably the guests of his study. Two people who are very ordinary, but they look extraordinary between their eyebrows.
With Shang Ping's arrival, Zhang Yuanwai greeted him eagerly, "Ping'er, I've been talking about it for the past few days, why haven't you arrived for so many days." Now it's coming. ”
Shang Ping made a gesture of "nephew to meet uncle"
Zhang Yuanwai said happily, "Okay, okay, don't be polite, I haven't seen you for many years, I want to see you last time, you are not so tall." Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Sun Wusun, and this is Mr. Han Xinhan."
Shang Ping said, "Meet the two gentlemen"
Zhang Yuanwai introduced Han Xin and Sun Wu again, "Two gentlemen, this is my nephew Shang Ping, who came to join me from Anyang County."
Sun Wu said, "Anyang County? ”
Shang Ping said, "Mr. Hui, I came from Anyang County."
Sun Wu asked again, "When did you set off from Anyang County?" ”
Shang Ping said, "I set out from Anyang County four days ago and came all the way on foot."
Sun Wu frowned, "Four days ago? As far as I know, Anyang County only opened the city gate three days ago, how did you come out early? ”
Zhang Yuanwai didn't know why Sun Wu asked like this, so he said, "Mr. Sun, my nephew has understood things since he was a child and never lies, do you see if there is any misunderstanding?"
Sun Wu said, "You said that you set off from Anyang County four days ago, and according to my inference, it will take at least four days to travel from Anyang County to our Pingyang County, and Anyang County has only been open for three days, how did you come here?"
Shang Ping's face was full of doubts: "You mean that Anyang County has opened the city gate now?" I came out of a small road in the middle of the city four days ago at night. ”
Zhang Yuanwai said, "I see, Mr. Sun, you see that he came out of the small road, and came out before the battle of the army." ”
Shang Ping was even more puzzled, "Uncle, Mr. Sun, are you saying that Anyang County and the imperial court are fighting again?" And Anyang County is now open at the city gates? ”
Zhang Yuanwai said. "Yes, on the night four days ago, the Anyang army attacked the imperial court camp, and all the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court were killed and captured, and even Shi Pei, the general of the imperial court, was captured alive."
Shang Ping heard what his uncle said, sat down with a butt, and said after a long time, "Uncle, are you saying that it is 10,000 horses besieging Anyang?" ”
Zhang Yuanwai nodded.
Shang Ping stood up violently, and excitedly grabbed the corner of Zhang Yuanwai's clothes, "Uncle, uncle, you quickly prepare a fast horse for me"
Zhang Yuanwai looked at Shang Ping's gaffe, and was particularly puzzled, "What do you want to do quickly?"
Shang Ping was very anxious, "Uncle, I'm going to Anyang to save my mother, I'm going to save my mother"
Zhang Yuanwai faintly saw what Shang Ping meant, but said, "What happened to your mother, why did you hear that 10,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court were defeated, and you want to save your mother?" ”
Shang Ping said, "Uncle, you don't know, I have always guessed that it was not Chu Dingde himself who besieged Anyang. Chu Dingde, he has 90,000 men. Chu Dingde must have led his troops to attack Xue Cheng. If Xue Cheng is broken, then Dingyang and Anyang will be in danger. Uncle, hurry up and give me a fast horse, I'm going to pick up my mother."
Hearing Shang Ping say this, Han Xin looked at Sun Wu, and Sun Wu looked at Han Xin. Han Xin asked, "How did you know that Chu Dingde went to attack Xue Cheng?"
Shang Ping is not so excited at the moment, but he just heard that he is worried about his mother's danger, and now he thinks that there is enough time to come. "Mr. Han, I guessed all this."
Han Xin and Sun Wu didn't expect Shang Ping to guess like this, so they said, "What do you rely on?" ”
Shang Ping said, "The besieged Anyang is only 10,000 horses, and the Chu Dingde army must not be in Anyang, and it is impossible to be in Dingyang, if I guess correctly, Dingyang is also besieged, the purpose is to stop Anyang, Dingyang to help Xue Cheng, so as to capture Xue Cheng in one go, and in the assembly of troops to attack Dingyang in turn, and Anyang"
Han Xin and Sun Wu nodded when they heard what he said, "If Chu Dingde attacks Xue Cheng, Anyang, and Dingyang and doesn't come to the rescue, Wuding City won't sit idly by."
Shang Ping went and said, "Mr. doesn't know, Wuding City is also a few days away from Xue City, if Chu Dingde's army sneaks up on Xue Cheng, then Wuding City will definitely not be able to rescue, even if it is rescued, it may not be able to fight Chu Dingde's army."
After Han Xin heard this, he laughed.
Shang Ping was puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"
Han Xin said, "You are right, I didn't expect you to have such a vision." ”
When Shang Ping saw Han Xin say this, he asked, "Then sir, have you already arrived?"
Han Xin said, "We are here to discuss this matter with your uncle."
Shang Ping was even more puzzled, what did these things have to do with his uncle? Wasn't his uncle a businessman?
Zhang Yuanwai looked at Han Xin and Sun Wu, only to see Han Xin nodding, and then said to Shang Ping, "Ping'er, I see that you are so young and have such knowledge, I won't hide it from you." These two gentlemen had already calculated that there would be today. We're discussing this."
Shang Ping still couldn't understand, "Uncle, are you discussing this matter here?" ”
Zhang Yuanwai nodded and said, "Yes, Ping'er, I won't hide it from you, I got married to two gentlemen in the early years, and I knew that the world would not be peaceful, so we secretly contacted some heroes and knights, they are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but when they need it, they will work hard to contribute their strength to the world." ”
Shang Ping was shocked, he didn't expect his uncle to have such a mind, so he asked, "How many people?" ”
Zhang Yuanwai said, "Six thousand! It's still expanding."
Shang Ping gasped, six thousand, then they are the strength of the secret. The fifth party in the world is powerful!
