Chapter 141: Mutiny
Zhang Lie died, and Wang Xu also found his future direction, which was originally a very happy thing, but in fact, Wang Xu was not in a good mood. Zhang Lie's sudden suicide caused extremely strict consequences, and even made him inexplicably carry a black pot to kill Zhang Lie.
Even the members of the sect, if it weren't for Wang Xu's oath to explain the truth, they all thought that the poison was poured by Wang Xu. After Huangfu Song got the real situation, he was extremely anxious, and hurriedly contacted the ministers of the DPRK and China, hoping to get rid of this unwarranted disaster for Wang Xu.
It's not all bad, though. Zhou Zhi's injury improved, and gradually getting out of the dangerous period made Wang Xu's mood a lot better. And there is also progress in the search of that Zhang Mansion, there is evidence of the Yellow Turban and the Zhongchang Servant Feng Zhen and Xu Feng as the internal response, and what is written on one of the letters makes Wang Xu's face pale, because there is only a short sentence: Wang Xu, the lieutenant of the military academy, is a general who is a thief, and he will leave the Huangfu camp on the same day and go to Yecheng, the county capital of Wei County, to take over Dong Zhuo's army!
At this moment, Wang Xu fully understood why he was ambushed in the first place, and a letter actually made him die for three months, which was really hateful. And I'm also afraid, why did I forget about the collusion between the eunuch and the yellow scarf? Fortunately, it was a big fate, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous to be stabbed in the back like this.
However, the sect members were very pleased with the appearance of these evidences. said that as long as these were reported, the eunuchs themselves would not be able to protect themselves, and they would have no time to pay attention to Wang Xu's affairs. But Wang Xu is not so optimistic, after all, Emperor Han Ling is a little too trusting of eunuchs. In history, Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, the two people who were caught with direct evidence of crime, were hanged after Tang Zhou told the truth. But other eunuchs, such as Zhang Rang, and others, although some evidence pointed to them, Emperor Ling didn't believe it, like Wang Yun, who was a tragic figure who was made to die because he couldn't report it. So I really don't know whether to say that the emperor is a model of employing people without doubt, or an out-and-out fool!
However, Wang Xu is still very supportive of the report. After all, no matter what, even if Zhang Rang didn't fall, he would definitely be trembling, and of course he wouldn't be so dedicated to framing himself. Coupled with his current prestige and merits, he may not dare to move himself, after all, the scholars are also a big camp, and the eunuchs are also afraid of a strong backlash.
In addition, Gao Shun also searched for two beautiful girls in the private dungeon of Zhangfu, but it was a pity that they were tortured and a little unhuman. When Zhang Jing saw the two of them, he immediately showed an extremely guilty look. Because they are the girls of later generations who were captured by him with his own hands, but they were raised by Zhang Lie as slaves. And the eyes of the two looking at Zhang Jing were also full of hatred.
Just when Wang Xu had a headache about how to arrange these two girls, Zhang Jing was very firm in proposing to take care of them for the rest of his life to make up for the debt in his heart. Wang Xu sighed and agreed. Just reminded Zhang Jing to pay more attention and not to get too close for the time being, with the hatred of those two girls for Zhang Lie, maybe he would be killed one day. And as long as it is a man, both of them are hostile, and they are only slightly better to Gao Shun, who rescued them, and Wang Xu, who released and appeased. Of course, the closest is Xu Shu, and only Xu Shu can stabilize their relationship.
But Wang Xu didn't have much time to pay attention to these things, and after dealing with the aftermath, the army was faced with the heavy task of exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turban. Although the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban main forces on the eastern front were defeated by Huangfu Song when they were in a dilemma because of the destruction of Guangzong City, Zhang Bao, the general of Digong, still fled to the north with many men and horses, and is currently stationed in Xiaquyang, in the north of Julu County.
And Huangfu Song was busy cleaning up all the remnants of the Yellow Turban and subduing all the large and small cities, and did not pursue it, and the order given to Wang Xu was for him to break Zhang Liang on the front line of Nanhe and Pingxiang. Although he had no intention of fighting any further, he still listened to Huangfu Song's orders, so he was soon busy with a new round of preparations.
On the tenth day of the destruction of Guangzong City, Wang Xu was checking the preparations of various departments in the military camp, but a young general suddenly galloped over without hesitation. Along the way, the soldiers retreated, all looking at the man in astonishment.
However, seeing this person going straight to Wang Xu, Xu Huang, who was the accompanying general at the scene, immediately shouted: "Who is here, why did you break into the camp?" As he spoke, he raised his axe and stopped in the middle of the road without fear.
The man was not slow to react, and with a sharp pull on the reins of the horse, the war horse man under his crotch stood up, and he stopped castration. He didn't move forward anymore, turned over and dismounted on the spot, didn't look at Xu Huang, and took out a tied silk silk with an anxious face: "General Wang, I am General Huangfu's personal guard Juyi, and I specially sent General Huangfu an urgent message, which is a serious matter, and I hope that the general will watch it immediately!" ”
"Oh?" Hearing that it was Huangfu Song's urgent letter, Wang Xu didn't have time to think about it, and immediately stepped forward to take it. But after opening it, I was puzzled, because there were only six words on it: endure, wait, life is worry-free!
Immediately, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Ju Yi, what else did General Huangfu say!" ”
"Nope! Just give me this silk silk and let me send it quickly. ”
"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu didn't ask any more. But with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "You said your name is Ju Yi? ”
Seeing Wang Xu asking, Ju Yi did not hesitate, and immediately arched his hand: "Hmm! The last general's name is indeed Juyi. ”
After receiving the confirmation, Wang Xu couldn't help but seriously look at the rugged-looking young man in front of him, but he couldn't help but ask after a long pause: "I don't know when you joined the army?" ”
Although Ju Yi was a little unclear, he quickly replied: "I have lived in Xiping, Liangzhou for a long time, and when the Yellow Turban Thief got up, I heard that General Huangfu Song was recruiting righteous soldiers, so I went to accompany him, and fortunately I valued him as a personal guard, and I had seen the general in the army before." ”
Hearing these words, Wang Xu no longer had any doubts in his heart. The Ju Yi in front of him is the general under Yuan Shao, who made meritorious contributions to the Yellow Turban with Huangfu Songping, and was later left in Hebei when Huangfu Song was transferred, and was finally obtained by Yuan Shao. If you really talk about it, this person's merits were higher than Yan Liangwen's ugliness in the early days, and later he was suspicious of Yuan Shao because of his high merits, and he was gradually arrogant, and was finally booby-trapped by him.
Just when Wang Xu was thinking about how to get this Ju Yi under his command, there was a sudden sound of messy horses' hooves, and there were quite a few of them. looked back in surprise, but saw that one of the first two people turned out to be a eunuch in palace clothes.
Immediately, he didn't care about looking at the others, his head started to run rapidly, and he understood the meaning of Huangfu Song's letter in a moment. Looks like it's not going to be good......
In a few breaths, the group of people had already rushed to the front, and the middle-aged eunuch at the head did not dismount, glanced at the generals contemptuously, and then asked in a shrill voice: "Who is Wang Xu!" ”
The generals were already furious the moment they saw this person, and when they saw this person's actions again, they were immediately extremely dissatisfied, but they still endured it. Zhao Rui even gently attached to Wang Xu's ear and said: "General, this person is Zuo Feng, he was the one who falsely accused Lu Zhonglang in the first place!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu nodded quietly, knowing that he had nothing good to do. I didn't want to give him a good face anymore, so I glanced at him lightly, and then slowly stepped forward and said, "I'm Wang Xu, I don't know what Your Excellency has to do!" ”
When the eunuch saw that Wang Xu was neither humble nor arrogant, he was immediately extremely dissatisfied, and immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph! The prisoner dares to be so arrogant, I am the little yellow door Zuofeng. On the orders of His Majesty, I came to arrest you, a traitorous general! ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals immediately looked at each other, and they didn't understand what was going on! Zuo Feng thought that the generals were drunk by him, so he immediately raised his chin slightly and hummed proudly: "The sin general Wang Xu is still not kneeling down and being bound!" Could it be that you want to disobey orders and rebel? ”
smiled coldly, but Wang Xu was not moved at all, and said lightly: "What is Wang Xu's crime, we will fight in the field, fight bloodily, and defend the country!" Why did you become a sinner when you succeeded? ”
"Bold! Could it be that you accuse Your Majesty of having had! ”
"Don't dare!" Faintly spit out two words, Wang Xu turned sideways and said: "Your Majesty, you are just deceived by traitors!" When I return to Luoyang, I must tell His Majesty the truth. At that time, right and wrong sins will have their own holy theories, and you will not be allowed to slander here! ”
As soon as he heard this, Zuo Feng was immediately furious, and immediately said to an old man next to him: "Liu Yi, why don't you quickly take down this thief!" ”
It's a pity that the old man heard this, but he didn't bother to pay attention to Zuo Feng, glanced at him, and then dismounted, walked in front of Wang Xu and arched his hand: "General Wang, under is Liu Yi, the general of the five senses, and he took the general back to verify Zhang Lie's death on the order of His Majesty, I hope the general will not make it difficult to do it!" ”
Wang Xu also knew that he was in a catastrophe, and seeing that this person was so polite, his tone softened slightly. "I understand it below!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals behind him suddenly shouted: "General! ”
Waving his hand, Wang Xu said lightly: "There is a public opinion on right and wrong, and I haven't done anything to be sorry for my conscience, so why not?" ”
But when he heard this, Zuo Feng laughed, immediately raised the horse whip in his hand, pointed at Wang Xu and said, "Quick, quickly tie up this traitor for me and take him to the prisoner car!" ”
But when Liu Yi heard this, he suddenly turned around and said angrily: "Your Majesty has already said that you must find out the truth before making a decision!" The only order I received was to bring General Wang back safely. ”
"Humph! But His Majesty didn't say that he was not a prisoner, since he was a prisoner, of course he should be tied up, put on a chain and escorted back! Saying that, this Zuo Feng looked at Wang Xu with disdain and said: "If this kind of butcher is not arrested, who knows if he will run!" ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he was immediately angry. immediately turned over and dismounted, and screamed: "If you don't catch it, I'll catch it!" I'm going to play you when I go back! ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals who had already held their breath suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and shouted: "You dare!" ”
These generals who fought on the battlefield were full of murderous spirit, and where could someone like Zuo Feng resist the sound of shouting in unison, and his legs trembled with fright. But in his mouth, he shouted again and again without admitting defeat: "It's the opposite! On the contrary, you dare to openly disobey orders, and I will definitely go back to your majesty and put all of you in prison and kill them all. ”
Before the words fell, Liu Yi's face on the side had changed greatly, and the old men who followed were also staring at Zuo Feng angrily. It's a pity that it's too late, so many soldiers in this barracks have already surrounded them, and the feeling that they are about to be unbearable is like a volcano erupting at this moment. In an instant, the entire barracks resounded with a heavy shout: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
After such a battle, Zuo Feng suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright, pointed at Wang Xu and shouted frantically: "Quick, kill Wang Xu for me, treason!" Kill him! ”
It is really rare in the army to scold the main general with such rampant and cruel words, and the entire military camp was suddenly silent. After a while, I don't know who it was among the soldiers, and suddenly roared: "Everyone killed this dog eunuch, what is wrong with General Wang, taking us from birth to death, desperately working to end up in such a field, this soldier is not right!" ”
With this roar, the soldiers' anger was ignited in an instant, and they all raised their weapons in a roar, and they were about to rush forward with a step.
Seeing that the mutiny was about to occur, Wang Xu was suddenly startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop it!" ”
