Chapter 405: A Gesture of Effort
Wuwei, the general's mansion.
The morning light was faint, and Zhu Zi glanced at the plaque on the house a little tiredly, as before, it didn't seem to have changed much.
It took him three days to return with three thousand Xiliang iron horses, but what was waiting for him was not the Liang army, but an unguarded city.
"My lord, I have already inquired about the people of the city. At that time, the 20,000 rebels who captured Wuwei City immediately divided their troops out of the city after capturing the city. And a small number of troops left behind were also withdrawn one after another last night. Chen He and He Qi, the two traitors, did not know their traces. ”
"How's the material in the warehouse?"
"The minister has inspected the treasury, and the grain, grass, and armament have not been touched."
regained control of Wuwei City, but Zhu Zi was not happy at all. This is especially true when you hear that the materials in the treasury are intact.
Zhu Zi seemed to feel that he was being manipulated by a huge hand invisibly, and the people behind the Liang Army were precisely controlling everything.
Including the time when Zhu Zi's reinforcements arrived, the time when the rebels withdrew, the stock of grain and grass in the Yang Jue Pass, and Zhu Zi's reaction after regaining Wuwei. Every penny, not the slightest.
Zhu Ziming knew this, but he had to follow his plan.
The Yang Jue Pass was broken, and the demons and brute beasts entered Liangzhou, which was not in the interests of Zhu Zi, and naturally it was not in the interests of Liang Jun.
Therefore, the rebels left behind food, grass and armaments, just so that Zhu Zi had enough ability to temporarily maintain the situation when he regained his martial power, and at the same time, it was also weakening the forces around him.
Zhu Zi didn't know what the person behind the curtain wanted to do next, but his hunch was not good.
"What about Yang Xian?"
"The situation ahead is not clear, but it is said that Liang General Huan Zishan led 20,000 troops and captured Yuting, and the garrison was at Longdaokou, Chengji County."
"Immediately organize manpower to transport grain and grass to the end of the sun."
"Yes!"
There are now only eight days of grain and grass left in the Yang Absolute Pass. Zhu Zi took the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, hurried day and night, and arrived at Wuwei in the early morning of the third day, but the convoy that could transport grain did not have this speed.
Because of the rebels, the original convoy of grain and grass has been delayed for many days, and there is no room for delay.
Zhu Zi entered the mansion of the general of the chariot cavalry, the mansion was empty, there was no one, obviously either killed by the rebels, or captured by them, and the end was not much better.
Zhu Zi's deceased wife died early, and he had no children under his knees. Among the younger generation of the Liangzhou Army, the person he is most optimistic about is Qin Feng. It's a pity that Qin Feng was abducted by Yang Xian.
In this familiar and unfamiliar Che Cavalry General's Mansion, Zhu Zi looked at the main hall built on a high platform in the mansion, and suddenly felt a little lonely, not knowing what to do?
Zhu Zi walked up the stone steps and sat at the door of the main hall, relieving the fatigue accumulated from the long journey.
The entire city came alive at once, and the efficiency of the three thousand Xiliang iron horsemen was very high, and it only took one morning to load a large number of food, herbs, armaments and other materials onto the car and prepare for escort.
"Lord, I'm ready."
Zhu Zi lowered his head and raised his eyes and opened his eyes.
"You lead a thousand iron cavalry to escort and send these materials to Yangjue Pass as soon as possible."
"But my lord, with only two thousand horsemen, is it too weak to defend Wuwei. Otherwise, I'll organize the people of the city to escort them!" ”
Zhu Zi shook his head and said, "If you organize the people in the city, it will take at least half a day. In addition, the people marched slowly, and the escort time would be longer. Now that the war situation is urgent, the materials cannot be delayed. Remember, no matter what, send this batch of supplies to Yangjueguan. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Zi's gaze became very firm, and he took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve.
"Send a letter to Ying, ask Yang Xian for help, and invite him to lead the army to help."
"Obey orders!"
A thousand Xiliang iron horsemen escorted the supplies out of the city gate, and the general of the cavalry became depressed again.
The two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry brought by Zhu Zi did not defend the city, and there was no intention of using them to defend the city, so while the 1,000 cavalry escorted the grain and grass to set off, Zhu Zi sent the remaining cavalry out of the city to investigate around.
In the end, the information obtained was that within a radius of thirty miles from Wuwei City, there was no shadow of the Liang army.
In other words, now this Wuwei has indeed become an empty city. It's just that Zhu Zi doesn't believe that the people behind the Liang Army will stop there.
The crisis came quietly, and when the long sun was slanting westward and about to enter the sky, a person appeared in front of Zhu Zi in the Che Cavalry General's Mansion.
Fang Yuting!
A person who is unexpected but should appear in a reasonable way.
In front of the main hall of the General's Mansion, Zhu Zi looked at Fang Yuting who was holding a green lantern.
"Did you do all this?"
"No, I'm just a pawn."
Fang Yuting said very honestly, for Zhu Zi, the famous cavalry general in the west, he still has three points of respect in his heart after all.
"Who else in the Liang army has such means besides you?"
Zhu Zi muttered, as if questioning, as if reflecting.
"Chang Yu?"
Fang Yuting smiled and said, "General Che Cai, it's useless to talk about this at this moment. In this plan, you must die! ”
Zhu Zi stood up and said slowly.
"Indeed, if the Liang army wants to master Liangzhou, it must get rid of me. Otherwise, you will not be able to force down the elite of Liangzhou who are now in the Yang Pass. It's just that you alone have this qualification? ”
As Zhu Zi stood up, the momentum of his whole body changed. With the purple tasseled star spear in his hand, Zhu Zi was no longer the chariot general who was a little sad and sad just now, but the supreme grandmaster of the world.
Within the four seas, there are few rivals.
"With me, naturally I am not qualified. It's just, do you think I'm the only one this time? ”
As Fang Yuting's words fell, more than twenty figures appeared one after another around the empty main hall. Among them, the figures of the rebel generals Chen He and He Qi are among them.
"Yu Yu, Ouyang Jian, Feng Zhengyin, Chun Yu Wuxing...... There are a total of twenty-three Grand Masters here. Fang Yuting, you really look up to me! ”
"These were originally prepared for Yang Chun. Unlike the time of the gods, this time we have been well prepared. And before that, I'm going to send you down to the Yellow Spring. ”
"Really?"
Zhu Zi's momentum skyrocketed, his body was as fast as lightning, and one shot killed Chen He.
The spear pierced Chen He's throat, thick blood dripping, but Zhu Zi only had a smile on his face. Harvesting the life of this rebel general was nothing more than a gesture for Zhu Zi.
"To be able to drive Yang Chun and Captain Yang forward, Zhu Zi and you are honored. If you want to take my life, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it. ”
In the huge mansion, only He Qi's frightened voice remained. Including Fang Yuting, the twenty-three Great Grandmasters were all indifferently watching all of this.
