Chapter 297: Revolt
Just as Wu Yingying was staring at the refugee team outside the city, there was a sudden commotion behind him, and the shouts and scolding of the soldiers were interspersed with shouts from time to time, Wu Yingying frowned and said: "Go down and see, what's going on?" After he stayed in the top position for a long time, he gradually developed a bearing, and said casually, someone obeyed the order. Chase immediately personally took a personal soldier down the city tower to check the situation, and it only took a moment to come up and say: "There is a Wu Yue Zhuang Ding heard that Wu Jiedu was inspecting the city defense, and he was noisy to come up to meet Wu Qing. The soldiers have taken him down. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Yingying couldn't help but be suspicious when he heard this, how could Wu Yue's enemy soldiers who had never known him before, how could they forcibly ask to see him? Could it be that there was another hidden secret in it? ”
Before long, a stocky and sturdy Wu Yue captive was escorted up by Chase with two personal soldiers, he was in his twenties, although his clothes were ragged, but his dark face had a stubborn look, Wu Yingying noticed that his skin showed a characteristic color of copper, usually speaking, this is the result of the fishermen who go out to sea for many years. This person obviously didn't know Wu Yingying, he looked at the group of general-looking people standing in front of him, but he didn't know who to talk to, and stood there stunned waiting for Wu Yingying to speak first.
"I am Wu Yingying, you want to see me, what is the matter?" Wu Yingying asked softly, with a kind of majesty that no one could not answer.
When the man saw that he was looking for the main master, he immediately knelt down and said: "The villain Wu Yueguo has surrendered a prisoner, his name is Yu Xi, and he asks to see the lord just to seek a way to live for his comrades in Wu Yue's army." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Yingying was even more puzzled and asked: "Wu Yue's prisoners are just acting as strong men in the city and doing some labor, and I have never killed a person in vain, why do you say this?"
Yu Xi hatefully glanced at the two Tiande soldiers who followed and said: "I heard that the general is merciful, and every day the prisoners are given one liter of rice and five hes to eat, but every day I wait to eat the chaff, but the seven or eight coarse chaff, the labor is heavy, the food is less, the strength is exhausted, and there are many epidemics, and many brothers have died of exhaustion." ”
"Oh?" Wu Yingying said in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at the two Tiande Military Academy who had followed the Tiande Military Academy with a nervous expression, and knew it in his heart, turned his head to Hu Ze and confessed his guilt, and asked sharply: "Is what he just said true, at the moment of the great enemy, if you tell the truth, it is just a return of stolen goods, dozens of military sticks, if you don't tell the truth, I am trying to borrow a few heads to strictly enforce military discipline!"
The two men were so intimidated that they immediately fell to their knees and confessed their sins. Hu Ze scolded loudly, and wanted to behead these soldiers who were greedy for prisoner rations, but Wu Yingying stopped: "The Song army is pressing the border, and the more soldiers in the city will have more strength to resist the enemy. Brother Hu should give the younger brother a thin noodle. ”
Although he was very sympathetic to the soldiers, Hu Ze was still angry because of this scum in the Tiande army. Although in the last years of the Five Dynasties, corruption was very common in the army, and some of them did not forget to fill their own pockets when they were the defense envoys of a state, how could they be demanding of the soldiers under them. But this matter of withholding the prisoners' military rations can be big or small, and if it provokes chaos, it will be out of control, so he said hatefully: "If it weren't for Wu Jiedu's intercession for you today, he would definitely behead you and others to correct military justice." ”
Seeing that the matter was dealt with, Wu Yingying waved his hand and asked Chase to take the cadres and others down, who knew that Yu Xi knelt down straight and said: "The little generation brothers thank Wu Jiedu and Hu Jiedu for their great kindness." Raising his head, he said, "The little one has a deep enmity with the Song people, and I hope that Wu Jiedu will take it in, and he will definitely repay him." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chase reprimanded: "You barbarian is so unreasonable, my general is surrounded by innocent children of good families, how can you keep a prisoner like you?" After speaking, he took his own soldiers to drag him down, and Yu Xi didn't dare to resist, so he could only shout loudly while walking: "My lord, when employing people, why not expel strong men, and make the heroes of the world chill in vain." ”
Wu Yingying listened to his last shout quite interestingly, stretched out his hand to stop Chase, and asked in a deep voice: "What kind of grudge do you have with the Song people, why do you want to follow me?"
Yu Xi looked at the surrounding military academies, gritted his teeth, knelt down and said: "The younger one is the head of the navy in Wuyue Town, and there are elderly parents and two sibling sisters. After asking the neighbors, I found out that a civilian official and his gang Song Jun had done such a heinous thing. Before the army set out, I searched for the enemy, but to no avail. The twin sisters have not been heard from either, and I am afraid that they are no longer lucky. There was bitter hatred and sadness in his words, except for Wu Yingying, all the generals were people who were accustomed to seeing chaos in these five generations, this kind of encounter was quite common, if it was an ordinary person, they could only swallow their anger. If he bumps into a bloody man, he will take revenge with a horizontal sword, and he can't help but sympathize with him at the moment that he didn't find the enemy, so he can only count this account on Song Jun's head indiscriminately.
Yu Xi glanced up at the generals, and then said: "The little one originally planned to slowly look for enemies in the army, but who knew that the army of Changzhou was wiped out, and the Song army fled from the battle. On that day, Wu Jiedu's military might was witnessed with his own eyes, and the Song army led by Ding Deyu was rampant and domineering in the city of Hangzhou, and no one dared to provoke him, but he was skilled in archery and horses, but he had some real skills, and when he saw the banner of the adult, he could only flee from the wind. I know that if I want to find the Song people to avenge this, I have to follow Wu Jiedu in this life. Please take it in. After saying that, he kowtowed heavily on the ground.
Wu Yingying originally admired Yu Xi's courage to ask for the lives of his comrades, and immediately had the heart to take him in, but he was afraid that the soldiers around him would not accept it, and once this example was opened, I was afraid that many people would think of being lucky, so he said in a deep voice: "I think you are a man, if you can take me a knife, stay by my side and listen to it, if not, you can't entangle, what do you think?" As soon as he said this, Hu Ze and the others didn't have anything, but Chase and other personal soldiers who were familiar with Wu Yingying's strength and sword skills changed color, Wu Yingying's sword skills have improved recently, and the tooth soldiers often join forces to fight against him. Fighting alone, if Wu Hero does not keep his hand, he can often kill one person with one sword.
Yu Xi was already thinking about anything else, but suddenly saw such a glimmer of hope, and immediately agreed without hesitation: "Thank you for your grace, and Yu Xi should sacrifice his life to be an adult." ”
Wu Yingying smiled and ordered someone to find a five-foot horizontal knife and hand it to Yu Xi, and pulled out the iron treasure knife he carried every day. Through the wind and rain, they turned a blind eye to the lightning and thunder that were getting closer and closer, and the two were far away from each other at the head of the city. Hu Ze took all the military academies to witness, shook his head and sighed that although this old brother was an official residence, he was still a young man, and he would accept the prisoners, and if he didn't accept them, he would kick them away, so why bother to dance with him seriously and get guns, if he missed, who would he find to defend the southern city wall. However, the three brothers of the Lu family and other young lieutenants saw that their blood was full of blood, and they felt from the bottom of their hearts that this was the demeanor of a good husband and a good man.
Wu Yingying stroked his knife and stood at the head of the city, carefully observing Yu Xi, and saw that he had obviously not eaten a full meal recently, his face was yellow and thin, and his steps were a little vain, but he stood firmly in front of him with a horizontal knife, ignoring everything around him, staring at himself intently, without the slightest fear. Wu Yingying secretly praised in his heart, "Good man!" Suddenly a huge lightning bolt shot down in the near distance, and the heavens and the earth seemed to turn white in an instant, Wu Yingying shouted lightly, with the help of the power of lightning, he strode forward, and slashed at Yu Xi with all his strength.
