Chapter Twenty-Three: The Head of Wu Zhao
The interrogation of Wu Yi was fruitless, Wu Zhao hesitated for a while, but out of the concept of not killing innocents indiscriminately, he still did not kill him, and he was still imprisoned.
That night was sleepless. If the cow doesn't drink water, he can't force his head, let alone Zhang Lu, a prince who wants to use Liu Zhangjun's hand to clear dissidents? How did this make Zhang Lu put an army of 100,000 in front of the Sword Pavilion, it was really hard to think about it. I really want to pick a son and quit and go to Liu Zhang!
But when life and death are at stake, you can't really pick on them. Wu Zhao repeatedly recalled the plots of the novels he had read before in his mind, and combined with the two ideas of Deng Fei and Sima Guang during the day, he fell asleep in a daze.
Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, this night of chaotic dreams is all some conspiracy and deceit. The next morning, although I woke up early, I was still immersed in my own world.
When eating breakfast, Sima Guang came in: "Lord Captain, Zhang Shijun has arrived in the book, and another general Yang Ang has arrived with an army, please go out of the village immediately to greet you." ”
Wu Zhao hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, very excited: "Zhang Shijun actually sent reinforcements over?" It was so unexpected to me. How many people did General Yang Ang bring? ”
Sima Guang's expression was solemn: "One thousand." ”
The smile on Wu Zhao's face froze: "A thousand? What's the use of a thousand men in a siege? ”
Sima Guang shook his head: "I'm afraid that his intention is not to help the war, but to urge the war." ”
Wu Zhao snapped and threw the wooden bowl in his hand to the ground: "What's the matter!" This is sending someone to spy on me. It's a big deal, uncle, I'll raise troops to fight back now and start a war with Zhang Lu! Tie this head to the belt of your trousers, you are really not afraid of him! ”
Sima Guang persuaded: "Your Excellency is angry. We are nominally Zhang Lu's subordinates, and if we turn against each other, we may not be able to win first, and secondly, we will be called betrayal. Please bear with me! ”
Wu Zhao was angry: "I can't bear it, why bear it anymore!" Isn't it just a head? Wu Zhao exchanged this head for a smooth heart, it was worth it! ”
He raised his foot to kick a few cases, but Sima Guang was on the side, his eyes were full of worry and anxiety, and he was faintly disappointed. Wu Zhao saw his expression out of the corner of his eye, and his heart chuckled. Suddenly, my heart moved: "My head, my head", stopped and muttered silently, as if he was crazy for a while.
Sima Guang was about to ask him, but suddenly the earth was blessed to his soul, and he suddenly realized. Wu Zhao raised his head and glanced at him, and suddenly shouted at the same time: "I thought of it!" ”
The two didn't say anything, looking at each other's faces and laughing.
At this time, there was a commotion outside. Wu Zhao restrained his smile and said, "Don't let General Yang wait in a hurry." Let's go, let's go out. ”
Walking to the edge of the camp, the guards at the door pointed their guns forward, blocking the gate of the village. Dozens of menacing soldiers on the opposite side drew their swords out of their sheaths to confront the guards, and at the same time shouted insults: "Stupid thing that dogs fight people! How dare you stop my general! Get out of the way, or your sins will be punished!" ”
Behind the soldiers were several knights, riding Sichuan horses that were accustomed to walking mountain roads in Shudi. The first member of the general is of medium stature, wearing black armor and a dark vulture. Sima Guang whispered behind Wu Zhao: "The one wearing black armor is Yang Ang. ”
Wu Zhao walked over with a smile: "General Yang Ang, there are rules in the army, no trespassing, it's not that these brothers intentionally collide, please also ask General Haihan." Wu Zhao greeted him late and excused himself for the general! ”
Yang Ang didn't get off the horse either, and he didn't smile: "General Wu has made great contributions, so naturally the threshold is higher." How can Yang Ang dare to blame the big hero? ”
Wu Zhao's smile did not decrease: "General Yang is really good at making fun." Wu Zhao, a little lieutenant, how dare he call himself a general! It's really because I snooze in the morning and it took some time to freshen up, so I was late. The general is angry! Calm your anger! ”
Yang Ang's face changed a little better: "It's not Yang who is making fun of it." Shijun had an order, General Wu captured the important place of Dingjun Mountain, strengthened the prestige of our army, and was specially promoted to the general from the seven-rank martial arts, rewarded with ten taels of gold, and ordered him to continue to lead the vanguard; In addition, Yang was sent to serve as a protector and led 1,000 elite soldiers to help in the battle. ”
took out a letter from his bosom: "Shijun's letter is here, please check it by General Wu." He waved his hand again: "Dismount and bring things up!" ”
The knights dismounted. Yang Ang took two small boxes from a knight, stacked them together and handed them to Wu Zhao: "General Wu, Shijun is gracious, I hope you will make persistent efforts to lead your troops to capture the Sword Pavilion and point to Xichuan!" ”
Wu Zhao knelt down on one knee and respectfully took it: "Thank you Master Jun for your love, Zhao will level Xichuan to repay Shijun's kindness!" ”
Yang Ang was basically satisfied with his performance and patted Wu Zhao on the shoulder to show encouragement. Then he asked, "Where is your camp?" As you said, the military situation is like fire, and we will discuss it immediately. ”
Wu Zhao put away the seal bounty, ordered Sima Guang to send someone to gather the generals, and find the barracks to place Yang Ang's 1,000 soldiers, and he himself rushed to the Shuai camp with Yang Ang and the guards on both sides.
The camp on Dingjun Mountain was built by Wu Yi, and it was damaged when Dingjun Mountain was captured later, so it looks very dilapidated and simple. When he arrived at the Shuai camp, Yang Ang frowned and said, "General Wu, how can you defend it when it is all broken like this?" Why don't you send someone to fix it? ”
Wu Zhao laughed with him: "General Bing, the sons and daughters were very tired from the fierce battle all night before yesterday, so the last general let them rest first." In another three days, Wu Zhao immediately arranged for manual repairs! ”
Yang Ang shook his head: "No, I have to arrange someone to start cultivating today, the sooner the better." Master Shijun is about to arrive. ”
Wu Zhao was puzzled: "Master Shijun? ”
Yang Ang nodded, pushed the door open and walked in. didn't ask, just stepped up to the main seat and sat down, looking forward to himself.
Deng Fei and Wang Bao both had angry faces, while Wu Zhao's face remained unchanged and he knelt down on the first seat on the left.
After a while, all the generals arrived, and when they saw Yang Ang sitting on the main seat and Wu Zhao sitting below, they were all a little shocked and angry.
Feng Zicai has a straightforward personality and immediately asked: "Who are you?" This is the vanguard battalion of our army, how dare you sit in the position of commander? ”
Wu Zhao coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "This general is General Yang Ang, the general under Zhang Shijun, and now he is in the position of the protector of our army. You are rude! ”
Although Feng Zicai stopped, his face was still unconvinced, and he stood proudly.
Yang Ang's face was ugly: "There is no need to argue, this seat will only sit once today." Zhang Shijun had an order, and ordered the vanguard to immediately rectify the military horses, leave the prisoners, and send the soldiers to the Sword Pavilion. Zhang Shijun will sit on the army to calm the army and sweep the Tiandang Mountain. In addition, Wu Xianxian, I myself have a small suggestion, I hope you will leave 500 people down and repair this mountain camp. In case Zhang Shijun will not be able to stop driving when he arrives this evening. ”
At this time, not only Feng Zicai, Ximen Qing, Zhang Bao and other generals were all talking and clamoring loudly.
Wu Zhao was furious, got up and shouted, "What are you doing here? What is there to say about the general's concern for the Lord? Listen to my orders, go out immediately to straighten out the military horses, and in an hour the army will set off for the Sword Pavilion! Ximenqing, you take 500 people to stay, repair the barracks, and welcome Zhang Shijun. After receiving Zhang Shijun, I will rush over! ”
