Chapter 5: A Thousand Miles of Victory (I)
Zhang Lang and Black Eagle Guard soon came to Xu Huang's residence where he was recuperating from his injuries.
The guards at the gate saw that a large number of high-ranking officials and generals came to visit Xu Huang, and hurriedly wanted to go in to report, but Zhang Lang stretched out his hand to signal that he didn't need to, so he took Dian Wei and Quan Cong and a few others in.
The place arranged by Zhang Lang for Xu Huang is also a mansion, with a deep courtyard, flowers and trees everywhere, rockeries, forests and stones.
Zhang Lang asked the soldier who led the way as he walked, "Where is Gongming now?" ”
The attendant said: "Back to the lord, General Xu is in the backyard." ”
Zhang Romance asked casually: "How has Komeito recovered recently?" ”
The attendant said respectfully: "General Xu is almost fine." ”
Zhang Lang nodded with satisfaction, at this time, a cadre had already come to the backyard, and he vaguely heard the non-stop shouting.
Zhang Lang asked the attendant curiously, "Who is shouting inside?" But Komei? ”
The attendant said with a look of reverence in his eyes: "It's General Xu." Please forgive the villain for talking too much, the villain has never seen a person with the surname Ge Resolute like General Xu. The pain of a broken arm is not something that ordinary people can accept, but Xu Huang was a little sad when he came back, and with the recovery of his injury, he actually began to practice the knife with one arm. ”
Zhang Lang was surprised: "There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard anyone talk about it at all? ”
The attendant said, "This villain has no way of knowing." ”
Zhang Lang aroused the curiosity of the attendants, and couldn't help but light his steps, signaling everyone to try not to make noise and watch not far away.
Xu Huang was wearing a thin dress, and the April day was not cold, whether it was hot or not, but Xu Huang was sweating like rain and steaming. Holding a dagger in one hand, he was constantly jumping and flying, and the short dagger kept bringing dazzling light in his hand, and the strange trajectory was tiger and tiger in the air.
Xu Huang did a few somersaults in a row, and his right arm kept hanging upside down, if it wasn't for the empty left arm, the degree of agility made it impossible to see that he had broken an arm. Just when Zhang Lang was secretly surprised, Xu Huang was unstable in the somersault, and stumbled when he landed, only to almost make a mistake. "Ah......" After gaining a foothold, Xu Huang suddenly let out a shocking roar at the sky, and then threw the dagger far away with an extremely angry expression, and then looked at his arm with a lonely face and muttered: "Is it really not good?" ”
"Crackling, crackling" There were a few crisp and violent sounds of the joints, and Xu Huang's right hands were tightly pinched together at some point.
When Zhang Lang saw this situation, although he couldn't hear what Xu Huang was saying, the angry and unwilling roar and the depressed expression on his face already showed that Xu Huang was in a terrible mood at this time. He stepped in without thinking, and his entourage hurried to follow.
Xu Huang didn't come out of his lost mood for a while, but just looked at Zhang Lang blankly, with a complicated expression.
Zhang Lang went up to the front, patted Xu Huang on the shoulder, didn't say anything, just nodded.
Xu Huang came back to his senses at this time, received his thoughts in his heart, and said with a ashamed face: "The lord drove to the distance and missed the welcome, Huang is rude." ”
Zhang Lang smiled and shook his head, signaling that it was nothing, and then said to Quan Cong: "You go and get the dagger back." ”
Xu Huang didn't understand what Zhang Lang wanted to do, so he watched Quan Cong run over and pick up the dagger, and then handed it to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang handed the dagger to Xu Huang again, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be in a hurry." ”
Xu Huang looked at the dagger, his face suddenly twitched, he didn't take it, but said in a somewhat bitter voice: "Lord, it seems that Huang has been abolished, I'm afraid that I will no longer be able to fight on the battlefield for the lord in the future, and make contributions." ”
Zhang Lang only felt a sour feeling in his heart, and comforted him: "What, did you give up like this?" ”
Xu Huang took a deep breath, he didn't want to be so cowardly, but in his trembling voice, it already showed the hesitation and helplessness in his heart, and he was a little excited: "It's not that my subordinates want to give up, but when I think of the fact that I have one hand left, let alone going to the battlefield, it is difficult to even be an ordinary person." And even if he really goes to the battlefield, it will be difficult for Yi Huang to make a difference if he is afraid of his current skills, not to mention that it will make the enemy laugh at me that there is no one in Jiangdong, which will damage the image of the lord and his wisdom. ”
Zhang Lang stared at Xu Huang, his eyes were like sharp swords, straight into Xu Huang's heart, and said coldly: "I just want to know, do you still want to go to the battlefield now?" ”
Xu Huang's body was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Lang in disbelief, struggling fiercely in his heart.
Zhang Lang didn't give a chance to think about it, and added: "Answer me, do you want to, or don't you want to?" ”
Xu Huang just hesitated, gritted his steel teeth violently, and nodded: "Yes, but ......"
Zhang Lang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, waved his hand, and stopped: "Since you want to, then what are you hesitating about?" Don't tell me you're not confident in yourself anymore. ”
Xu Huang wanted to speak, but Zhang Lang said coldly: "The pain of a broken arm is indeed a fatal blow to a general, but don't forget, I will use you at the beginning, not only because you have a strong physique and a strong martial arts, but that you have a thing that others can't match." Zhang Lang pointed to his head.
Xu Huang's heart suddenly throbbed, and his heart, which had been extinguished, began to beat again.
Zhang Lang continued: "Since I dared to use you at the beginning, I dare to use you now, don't say that you have broken one hand, even if you break two hands and two legs, as long as your head is still there, I believe that you will definitely not be worse than others." Those who are good at fighting, soldiers who surrender without a fight. I use you, not with your hands, not with your feet, but with your head, which no one else can reach. ”
Xu Huang only felt a roar in his head, and a stream of hot blood rushed up, and then the muscles of his cheeks continued to twitch, and his eyes gradually became a little wet. What is the most feared thing about a thousand-mile horse? I'm afraid that I won't be able to touch a good Bole. Xu Huang suddenly felt that he was really lucky, because he met a lord with such a discerning eye.
"And you can't fool me at all, although you have a broken arm, but your desire for the battlefield is far more than everyone, otherwise you will never get up early every day to touch the dark, smell the chickens and dance, and practice the one-handed blade hard, what are you doing this for? It's nothing more than wanting to reach a new height and put yourself on the battlefield again. Are you right? ”
Xu Huang didn't have any thoughts this time, and nodded very simply.
Zhang Lang suddenly straightened his face and shouted: "Xu Huang, do you still want to go to the battlefield and answer me like a man." ”
Xu Huang immediately straightened his waist, his eyes shot an unprecedented firm light, and he responded loudly: "Yes." ”
"Okay, you will prepare for me today, and I will rush to the front line with Pang Tong tomorrow." Zhang Lang said toughly.
Xu Huang looked at Zhang Lang in disbelief, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but start rolling. Although he was desperate for it, he still couldn't believe his ears when the news came. Xu Huang was so excited that he didn't know what to do, and tears of excitement burst out of his eyes. No one wants to prove himself again than Xu Huang, a person who has fallen down, how many people have to endure the skeptical gaze if he wants to get up again? Xu Huang suddenly fell to the ground, "bang" knocked his head a few times in succession, and his voice was even more choked: "The lord is gracious, his subordinates are toothless and unforgettable, if this trip is not trusted, Huang is willing to kill himself on the spot to thank him for his grace." ”
Zhang Lang patted Xu Huang's arm fiercely, and finally said with a happy smile on his face: "I believe in you." It's like I believe in myself. I wanted to enlighten you again, but when I saw your one-handed blade, I knew you were ready. Then what I want to say again is superfluous, because you are a very smart person who knows how to make yourself better. ”
Xu Huang's eyes sparkled, but he said very firmly: "After the broken arm, my subordinates have never given up the opportunity to fight on the battlefield again, but at the same time, they also understand that it is impossible for them to be like before. After thinking hard behind closed doors, his subordinates finally figured out something. Due to the strong impact force of the immediate and the large extent of relying on external forces from various aspects, in this case, the subordinates were obviously not suitable for immediate combat, so they decided to transform into a step general. For the step generals, they rely more on ability and technology, and their subordinates are also confident that they can fight a new heaven and a new land with the short blade in their hands. ”
Zhang Lang smiled and handed over the dagger again, and this time Xu Huang took it happily.
Zhang Lang said: "Since you untie the knot, then you can take advantage of the matter today, and you will follow Pang Tong Tai'an, the situation on the front line is a little tight now, and I can't tolerate what preparations you have." And this time, you try your best to help Pang Tong, and he will tell you some things. And you are by his side, how much you have a heart, you can learn a lot from it. ”
Xu Huang responded: "My subordinates understand. ”
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Then I'll go first." ”
Xu Huang hurriedly said: "My subordinates send the lord to him." ”
Zhang Lang nodded, then left Xu Huang's residence and went back to the house.
After dinner, Zhang Lang was bored reading alone, and at this time the guards informed Pang Tong to ask to see him.
Zhang Lang just summoned him in, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to kneel down and shout to Zhang Lang when he came in: "The lord save me." ”
Zhang Lang was a little inexplicable, so he could only step forward and pull him up and say, "What's wrong with the good end?" ”
Pang Tong cried and said with a sad face: "The lord saves me, if you don't save me, Tong will die this time." ”
Zhang Lang was a little depressed and said, "What happened?" Don't worry, I'll naturally support you in your affairs. ”
Pang Tong was overjoyed when he heard it, where was the gloomy and sad appearance just after the storm, and he said: "What the lord said must be counted." ”
Only then did Zhang Lang realize that he had given Pang Tongyin a hand, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily and funny: "What the hell is going on?" ”
When Pang Tong heard Zhang Lang's words, his originally smiling face immediately pulled down again, turning into a bitter gourd face, and his sloppy face became even more obscene: "Lord, I went to Lixia this time, I am afraid that my subordinates will be more auspicious, and I ask the lord to save me." ”
When Zhang Lang heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Pang Tongyi, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not for you to personally ask for help in this matter, otherwise who will force you?" ”
Pang Tong said: "Tong also saw that the military situation was urgent, so he responded first." ”
Zhang Lang spread his hands helplessly and said: "This matter is difficult to do now, tell me, how do you want me to help you?" ”
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to worry about embarrassing himself, and he won't let you leave a handle for Cheng Yu." ”
Zhang Lang glared at Pang Tongyi, and said angrily: "What did you say?" ”
Pang Tong was taken aback, and Zhang Lang's angry expression was still very intimidating. However, when Pang Tong saw a smile flashing in Zhang Lang's eyes, he breathed a sigh and said with peace of mind: "Don't worry, what your subordinates said at noon is of course counted, and you will never mobilize a single soldier of your lord." ”
Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows, he heard that Pang Tong deliberately bit "one soldier and one pawn" into an accent, and couldn't help but move in his heart, tentatively: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Pang Tong straightened his mind and said solemnly: "Xun You is an old man, full of wit, and quite calm, if you want to win with ordinary strategies, it is really extremely difficult. Therefore, after going to Lixia City this time, no matter what news the lord hears here, or rumors about unification, you must believe that your subordinates will definitely not live up to your expectations. ”
Zhang Lang nodded solemnly and said, "With Shiyuan's awakening, I naturally have a sense of proportion in my heart." ”
Pang Tong smiled slightly, his face naturally showed a strong confidence, and he continued: "As for the second thing, since Jiangdong's weapons have long been famous in the Central Plains, my subordinates want to borrow a hundred strong crossbow chariots from the lord this time. ”
Zhang Lang was slightly surprised: "This strong ballista has just been developed by Jiangdong and has not yet been put into battle, how do you know?" ”
Pang Tong's face was slightly sly and said: "Where the subordinates have their own sources of information, please don't ask the lord." ”
Zhang Lang scolded with a smile: "You don't know about me, it wasn't revealed to you by Yueying." ”
Pang Tong didn't have the slightest embarrassment on his face, and said a little proudly anyway: "Being able to get the news out of Cousin Huang's mouth can only show that Tong does have some ability." ”
Zhang Lang was angry, glared, and said helplessly: "Okay, borrow you and borrow you." ”
Pang Tong said: "The lord only needs to give me a half-finished strong crossbow car, which can only be fixed, but cannot be moved." ”
Zhang Lang was stunned, faintly feeling that things were not as simple as he thought at the beginning, and asked, "What does Shiyuan mean?" ”
How do you know that Pang Tong sold Guanzi, and said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if you say it, things will not work." There is a third thing, I hope that the lord will help Pang get 3,000 pieces of Cao Bing's complete armor as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Lang was completely confused this time, and couldn't figure out what Pang Tong wanted to do for a while, he wanted to ask, and looking at his angry expression, he probably couldn't ask anything at once. Don't ask, it's uncomfortable to hold it in your heart.
Pang Tong said seriously: "If the lord and the lord are subordinate to these three things, if you can't take the city within three months, you will be willing to sacrifice your head and disappear from the world." ”
Zhang Lang saw that he was so sure, and he was even more itchy and said: "Okay, there is nothing difficult about these three things, I can promise you, but you should also reveal some inside information to me." ”
