Volume VIII The Axe of the Heavens 113 The Trial of Prisoners

After Gao Yanshi left, Zhao Guo was cautious and ordered Fu Youde to immediately lead the crowd out of the camp and go to an ambush between Chuqiu and Chengwu. In case Gao Yanshi went late, he was escaped by Sain Chi Da and Wang Baobao.

Of course, Fu Youde would not refuse, and responded loudly.

Seeing him go away, Pan Xian'er suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Guo: "My lord, should I tell Wu Jun about sending General Gao to Chuqiu?" ”

"Sue and tell Wu Jun?"

"yes, it's our coalition after all."

Zhao Guo put down the brush in his hand, picked up the stick, lit the candle on the desk, and listened to the sound of rain outside the tent. In order to facilitate the transmission of military reports and the messengers who conveyed orders, the curtain of the tent was not covered, it was opened, and at a glance, Fu Youde's figure was no longer visible, and in the dark night, there was a fire shining in the distance, and the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield were still busy.

The wind was as cool as water, blowing into the tent, stirring the paper, and making a "swish" sound.

Zhao Guo is not an iron man, he has been working hard for many days in a row, and he has been fighting for most of the day today, although he is young and strong, he can't help but feel tired, but he also knows that now is not the time to rest, he brace his spirit, yawn, and said: "First, Mr. is reasonable, it is time to send someone to say it." ”

Chang Yuchun's identity is extraordinary, and the idlers are not qualified to pass on to him on behalf of Zhao Guo, and after thinking for a while, Zhao Guo said: "Yang, General Yang, I bothered you to take a trip?" ”

Yang Wanhu is a foot general, the task of attacking Chuqiu and setting up an ambush outside the Danzhou Road is not suitable for him, watching Gao Yanshi and Fu Youde go out happily, he was depressed, he listened to Zhao Guo's order, he was in a slightly better mood, and replied: "In this small half a day, I don't know how many times I have heard people talk about the majesty of Chang 100,000. What horses rush into battle, what is unstoppable! Just waiting to see what a hero he is. Rest assured, I will bring your words to him. ”

For Chang Yuchun, he is a little sympathetic, and the meaning of heroes is heroic.

Zhao Guo smiled slightly and said: "By the way, by the way, tell General Chang that I should have gone over in person, but, it's just that I am busy with military affairs tonight, and I really can't leave, so I'll wait for tomorrow to meet him again." ”

"Yes."

Yang Wanhu got up and walked out of the tent, just walked to the door of the tent, and was greeted by a person coming from the night, neither of them was on guard, and almost crashed into one place. Yang Wanhu was thin and flexible, so he hurriedly jumped to the side, looked at it, and saw that the person who came was not very old and was covered in clothes, but the armor he was wearing was not the style of Yan Jun, and he guessed a little bit of the origin of this person, and his hand couldn't help but touch the handle of the knife on his waist, and shouted: "Who is coming?" So reckless! I don't know if this is the tent of the Chinese army, do you dare to break in indiscriminately? ”

Hearing Zhao Guo smile behind him, he said, "Yang, General Yang is here." This one is not an outsider, Zheng, is the brother-in-law of General Chang, the handsome and heroic in the Wu army, and the little general Lan and Lan Yulan. ”

Lan Yu entered the tent, first saluted Zhao Guo, then turned around, hugged Yang Wanhu, and said with a smile: "Presumably, this must be the famous Haidong champion commander General Yang?" Under the blue jade, this is polite. ”

β€”β€”The so-called "champion commander", but because of Yang Wanhu's bravery and good fighting, and the Anliao army's many meritorious contributions, Deng She once gave him an alias, which is called "Champion Commander", also known as "Champion Ya". The word "champion" is an allusion to Huo Quai, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named him "Champion Hou".

"So you're Lanyu."

In addition to Chang Yuchun, it can be said that in the past half a day, Yang Wanhu has heard the second most name, which is this Lan Yu, knowing that he is young, but he really didn't expect to be so young!

Yang Wanhu was quite surprised, looked at him several times in succession, and saw that he looked like a tiger with a bear's waist, and he was heroic, and he was really a young hero, but he refused to praise him, but he just said: "It's a pity!" Pity! ”

"I don't know what General Yang pity?"

"It's a pity that Gao Yanshi just left, otherwise, the two of you would have a comparison." The implication is that although Lan Yu is a young and brave man, Yan Jun is not bad, and there is also a "Tiger of Hebei" Gao Yanshi.

- It's one thing for Yang Wanhu to want to see Chang Yuchun, but it's another thing to not want Yan Jun to be inferior, so although he doesn't have any friendship with Gao Yanshi, he doesn't want to think about it at this time, so he takes it out.

said a thousand, said ten thousand, in fact, even if he wanted to see Chang Yuchun, his hidden mind still wanted to compete with Wu Jun. In any case, although he didn't participate much in this Shanzhou decisive battle, he must not let Wu Jun, as a guest army, be too showy. This idea, not only does he have, but most of the generals of the Yan Army have it. There is only one reason why there is such an idea: on the battlefield today, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and other soldiers of the Wu army are too sharp.

Not only did he show his edge in the battle, but even after the war, Chang Yuchun also showed his edge again.

At that time, although the main battles had ended, and the Yan and Wu armies had begun to collect prisoners, there were still small-scale stubborn resistance from time to time, and there were also some soldiers of the Yuan army who did not know how to deal with them because they did not know how to deal with them without major changes, so they panicked and ran around, which brought a lot of trouble to the work of containing the prisoners.

On the Yan army's side, it is the recalcitrant ones who kill, and the runners who run around are caught, which is very laborious. But Wu Jun's side, in comparison, is much easier, whether it is stubborn, or running around, all of them are often in the spring, as soon as the prancing horse is struck, they all "fall in terror", and the majestic style is really not ordinary. Mo said that the soldiers of the Yuan army were killed, even if the soldiers of the Yan army saw it, they were all shocked.

Imagine, which one of the battles is not a rebellious character? The generals of the Yan army either saw it or heard it, how could they tolerate him to cover up the limelight of the Yan army? A strong desire to win, naturally indispensable, emerged.

Lan Yu grinned, revealing her snow-white teeth, and said, "General Gao is famous, I am in the Wu Army, I am just a nameless junior, how dare I compare with him?" The general praised it falsely! And, in fact, I had already met with General Gao before. "Before, Lan Yu was the messenger of Chang Yuchun, stayed in the Yan army for a while, and had many meetings with the generals of the Yan army.

As soon as the topic changed, Lan Yu was also clever, and heard something else from Yang Wanhu's words, asked Zhao Guo, and said, "General Gao is not in the army?" I don't know where I went? ”

"Zheng, I was about to tell your general, I just received a military report, saying that Saiyin Chi Tasu and Wang Baobao fled to Chuqiu, so I just ordered Gao Yanshi to pursue and annihilate him."

"Chu, Chuqiu?"

Although Lan Yu recovered quickly, anyone with a discerning eye could see it clearly, and after hearing the word "Chu Qiu", the expression on his face changed clearly, and his voice also revealed a little strange.

Pan Xian'er's heart moved, thoughtful.

Zhao Guo's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen or heard, nodded and said, "Yes, exactly." "Give Lan Yu a seat and order the soldiers outside the tent to serve tea.

Lan Yu adjusted, smiled, and said, "Your Excellency, don't bother, the last general is here, I have come here to invite you on the order of my general." ”

"Invite, invite?"

"Do you remember the bet before the battle? Those who break the formation after losing a banquet. In the afternoon's battle, it was the adults who broke the battle first, and my general was willing to gamble and lose, so he had already prepared a banquet in the camp and invited the adults to the banquet. ”

Despite the busy military affairs, this face cannot be withheld.

Zhao Guo groaned slightly, and said to Pan Xianer: "First, sir, clean up the battlefield, contain the prisoners, as well as monitor the city, scatter the horses, and other military affairs, I will bother you first." ”

Pan Xian'er respectfully obeyed.

Then Zhao Guoxiao and Lan Yu said: "You, your general is too polite, a small bet, why, why take it seriously?" But to be honest, I do want to have two glasses of wine with your general, and today's battle is thanks to the help of your army! "Order the soldiers," go, take out the good wine I brought from Haidong, and take it with you, and please try it in Chang Yuchun. ”

The military acts vigorously and resolutely, without too much politeness and too many cutscenes.

After a few words, Zhao Guo immediately put down the matter at hand, took Yang Wanhu and a few personal soldiers, and galloped to Wu Ying with Lan Yu in the rain.

……

The camps of the Yan and Wu armies are not very far apart, but they are not very close, about a mile or two, if you walk, it will be relatively slow, although it is said that the horse riding will be faster, but under the night rain, you can't run too fast. A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Guo and the others came to the Wu army camp.

There is blue jade to lead the way, unimpeded.

In order to show respect for Wu Jun, after entering the Yuanmen, Zhao Guo took the initiative to get off his mount, led the horse, and quietly observed the Wu army tents on both sides while walking.

Although it is only a temporary stationing place, as far as what is seen, it is obvious that the style of the Wu army is very rigorous, because whether it is the tent or the various equipment used for defense, it is neatly arranged and very standardized. It should be because some of the soldiers are still cleaning the battlefield outside the camp, or guarding the prisoners, so there are not too many soldiers in the camp, and it seems a little deserted.

When a night guard passes, even with the honor of blue jade, he still needs to answer the password.

Zhao Guo praised: "General Chang and Chang are rigorous in governing the army, and I admire and admire them. ”

Lan Yu smiled absently and said, "My general governs the army, and he has the style of Li Guang. My lord has never seen the general of our army governing the army, so it is called a fierce fight. ”

"General?"

"General Xu."

It's Xu Da. In the recent Battle of Longwan, Xu Dagang was promoted to Zhongshu Youcheng because of his merits, and according to his official position, Lan Yu should have called him "Chang Youcheng". However, because of Xu Da's status in the Wu army, one person is above 10,000 people; Second, Xu Da once led the troops as a general. Therefore, Lan Yu respectfully called him "the great general".

However, this is why Lan Yu called Xu Da. There are now two major factions among the generals of the Wu army, one is Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, etc., which are considered to be Zhu Yuanzhang's henchmen; The other faction is Shao Rong and others. Shao Rong, Guo Zixing's old department, is not very harmonious with Zhu Yuanzhang. If it was someone from Shao Rong's faction who was here, he would definitely not call Xu Da that.

Zhao Guo has also heard the name of Xu Da for a long time, "oh" yes, and said with a smile: "Xu, Lord Xu was a famous general at that time, you don't need to say it, I can guess it, I can guess it, and the army must be very good." ......, you and your army are full of talents, which is really enviable. ”

Although Lan Yu was alert, after all, he was a young man, not experienced enough, and after listening to Zhao Guo's praise, he was not modest, but just smiled at himself. This laugh didn't matter, which attracted Yang Wanhu's dissatisfaction, and he snorted heavily. Lan Yu smiled and turned his head to look at him, but didn't speak, pointed to the front, and said to Zhao Guo: "Please take a few more steps, there is a handsome tent in front of you." My general is waiting in the tent. ”

Hearing his words, Yang Wanhu was even more dissatisfied.

Zhao Guo came all the way away, and Chang Yuchun didn't go out of the camp to greet him, and waited in the tent! In fact, not only Yang Wanhu was dissatisfied, but Lan Yu was also very surprised.

Originally, it was good, but when Zhao came over, he sent someone to deliver the letter in advance, and Chang Yuchun would come out to greet him in person. But now that the person sent to deliver the letter has been gone for a long time, why hasn't Chang Yuchun come out yet? Not only is Chang Yuchun missing, but why are Feng Guosheng and Cai Qian also missing?

A few people thought about it, and when they came to the outside of the tent, with the help of torches, they could see that the person who had just come to deliver the letter did not enter the tent, but was only drenched in the rain outside the tent, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.

Lan Yu and Zhao Guo confessed to their crimes, hurried up, pulled the person aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Why didn't you go in? Why not send a letter to the general? What's going on in the tent? Is there something wrong? ”

The curtain of the tent was hidden, and there was no real thing to be seen, but only the sound of words could be heard from time to time. There are Chang Yuchun's words, Cai Qian's words, and some people I don't know speak.

"Back to the general, the master is in the tent,......" The man put his hand to his neck, made a gesture, and continued, "General, you also know that the master is most annoyed by someone to disturb at this time, so the villain does not dare to go in, for fear of touching the moldy head." ”

"Shhhh What time is it! Didn't you just send me to invite Lord Zhao over? Why did the general suddenly do this? ”

"I heard that it was General Cai who had just finished interrogating the prisoners, and he just sent them to the master. Maybe the old man was interested and couldn't hold back for a while? ”

"You go to the tent and tell the general, and then say that Lord Zhao is here!"

Lan Yu's voice fell, and a person on the side spoke, saying, "No, no hurry, no hurry." Lan Yu turned his head, but Zhao Guo didn't know when he came to the front, and he was busy making amends. Zhao Guocheng Mansion was good, and he was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Listen, I heard that the tent is very lively, is it Lord Chang who is convening a military meeting?" ”

Lan Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't dare to hide from the adults, it's really the general who is interrogating the prisoners." ”

While he was talking, the tent opened, and two people dressed as Wu Jun's own soldiers pushed a person who looked like a general of the Yuan army and walked out, and after walking a few steps, he walked to the edge of the tent, one of his soldiers raised his foot and kicked the Yuan general down, and the other soldier drew his saber and cut off his head cleanly.

A set of moves, these two pro-soldiers did a smooth job, and they cooperated very tacitly. When it was over, other soldiers dragged away the corpse of the general, and the two of them took the general's head and went back to the tent to resume his life.

Shi Cai didn't pay attention, but at this time, at the corner of the tent, blood was flowing everywhere, and the rain on the ground was red, and I don't know how many people had been killed! I don't know that this Yuan will be the first to be killed. But it turned out to be an interrogation of a prisoner, and it was obviously killing a prisoner.

Where is Chang Yuchun interrogating prisoners, he is clearly killing prisoners!

Looking at the expressions of Lan Yu and the soldiers and soldiers outside the tent, one by one they were casual, and it was obvious that they had already been accustomed to it.

Lan Yu was a little embarrassed, but this embarrassment was not because Chang Yuchun actually killed prisoners in the Chinese military tent, but because Chang Yuchun did not come out to greet Zhao Guo, he explained: "My general's nature is like fire, and he said to himself, there are two kinds of people in this world, one is the disloyal and unfilial person, and the conscience is called a dog to eat, not a thing, shame is the same as it' The other is the Tartar, not my race, as cruel as a wolf, occupying my China, ruining the souls, messing with my society, destroying my clothes, if you don't kill them cleanly, you are really ashamed of your ancestors. Therefore, when I see these two types of people, I often forget about other things, and I have to deal with them first. ”

Zhao Guo smiled tolerantly and said: "Body, as a man, the husband stands up to the sky, right, right, right." Chang Daren is really a man of temperament, no, worthy of being a good man of my Han family! ”

"Then please wait a moment, my lordship? The last general went to the tent to report to my general. ”

"No, no hurry, no hurry."
