Volume III Chapter 579
Hearing the word Peng Cheng, Ding Feng's eyes immediately widened, and two sharp rays of light shot out, sweeping back and forth on Zhang Wu's face and body.
Zhang Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, and he didn't dare to take any more breaths.
"Smack!"
Ding Feng slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Zhang Wu, and said: "The traitor Peng Cheng, killed my country's loyal and good Lord Chen, my Dajin has already formed an enmity with him, I wait for the Jin people, I can't wait to break his bones and eat his flesh, you erector, since you are here to send him to death, Ben Shuai will fulfill you!
"What does the general command?" four Jin army guards rushed in from outside the tent.
Ding Feng pointed his finger at Zhang Wu and said, "Drag this thief out of the coffin, and the corpse will be broken!"
"Obey!" The guards didn't care who you were, they only acted according to military orders, and as soon as people swarmed them, they picked up Zhang Wu and walked out.
Zhang Wu was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he shouted like crazy: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life! Lord Lu's death has nothing to do with my master, it is the victim of a traitor......
Ding Feng didn't bother to listen to this, and waved his hand in distraction, signaling the guards to drag him away quickly.
The guards quickened their pace and dragged Zhang Wu out of the Chinese military tent like a dead dog.
"Such people who don't know whether they are dead or alive are really ridiculous!" Ding Feng shook his head and sneered.
The surrounding golden generals also sneered in unison, and said: "If the red people can be as stupid as this thief and come to my camp to throw themselves into the net, then our army will be easy." ”
"General, the villain has a way to break the city......" At this time, Zhang Wusheng shouted hoarsely outside the tent.
These words made Ding Feng's heart move, and he was stunned for a moment, then he casually pointed to one of the generals under his command and said, "Go quickly, bring this Zhang Wu back to me!"
Najin hurriedly agreed. Throwing off his legs, he rushed out of the air in a hurry.
After a few seconds, the Jin general returned, and at the same time grabbed Zhang Wu by the collar, pulled him in, and threw Zhang Wu to the ground. He asked in a deep voice, "What did you just say?"
"Will ...... The general ......" Zhang Wu knelt on the ground, his body trembling suddenly, sweating like rain, and even his clothes were soaked through.
He stammered, "Villain...... The villain has a way to break the city, and he is here on the orders of my master...... to tell the soldiers of the Jin Army...... Just...... I just ask that the generals can let my master live ......"
Now that Ding Feng finally understands, it is no wonder that Zhang Wuken came from the net, and it turned out that he came to negotiate terms with him on the order of Peng Cheng.
"You. Is there a way to break the city?"
"Yes...... Yes, yes......"
"Then why don't you go and talk to the New Red Army, but instead run to our Jin Army? The New Red Army came much earlier than our Jin Army. ”
"The main thing is that my master wants to ...... Make up for the ......"
"Didn't you just shout that Lord Chen's death had nothing to do with your master?"
"It's really okay, but ...... If my master had detected the traitor's tricks earlier, Lord Chen would have ...... Won't die. ”
"Who are you talking about a traitor?"
"It's the Northwest Patrol Envoy, Wei Wuji. ”
"Wei Wuji, what the hell is going on, tell me in detail!"
Zhang Wu didn't dare to mess around, and told how Wei Wuji used Peng Cheng and how he killed Chen Ping. The most rear. He cried with tears in his eyes: "General, my master really has no intention of harming Lord Lu. Instead, I sincerely wanted to take refuge in Dajin, but because of the treacherous Wei Wuji's insidious and cunning, Lord Lu died, and it also ended my master's idea of submission without a problem.
Yes. I see! Zhang Wu said this reasonably, and when he spoke, he did not show that his eyes were floating or flickering, and it seemed that what he said was true.
In fact. Ding Feng has always been very strange, with Chen Ping's shrewd mind, how could he be killed by the little-known Peng Cheng, and now after listening to Zhang Wu's words, he finally found the answer, Peng Cheng is just a cover to be used by others, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is Wei Wuji, the northwest patrol envoy of the Red Kingdom.
I already believed it in my heart, but Ding Feng still said: "What you said, how can you make Ben Shuai believe it?"
"My master's willingness to sacrifice the method of breaking the city is enough to prove my master's sincerity. Zhang Wu said hurriedly.
"What do you mean by the method of breaking the city......" Ding Feng leaned forward, staring at Zhang Wu without blinking.
Zhang Wu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "There is a secret passage that can sneak into the Red Dragon Altar without knowing it. ”
"Oh?" Ding Feng's eyes lit up, there was even such a passage! But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, the surroundings of the Red Dragon Altar had already been probed countless times by the spies of the New Red Army and his own spies, how could he never find any secret passages? He straightened up, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Zhang Wu, are you bullying your own handsome and ignorant?"
Zhang Wu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare, there is indeed a secret passage to the city." Now that the city has long been closed, the reason why the villain can come out of the city is through this secret passage. ”
Ding Feng inhaled, his fists were also clenched subconsciously, and he said word by word: "You tell me in detail, where is this passage, if it is verified, Ben Shuai will not only kill you, but also reward you heavily!"
"This ......" Zhang Wu's face was embarrassed, and the prophecy stopped.
The hearts of the golden generals on the left and right have already risen to their throats, and people can't wait to shout one after another: "Say!
Zhang Wu suppressed the fear in his heart and stammered: "It is not difficult to let the villain tell the location of the passage, I just ask General Ding to agree to the villain's conditions." ”
"On what terms?"
"After the city is broken, don't kill my master, and ask General Lin to reuse my master. ”
After Ding Feng heard this, he frowned secretly, even if Chen Ping did not die at Peng Cheng's hands, but it had something to do with him, with the adult's love for Chen Ping, it was a blessing to be able to spare Peng Cheng, and he had to be reused, so how could it be?
However, if he didn't agree to Zhang Wu at the moment, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to tell the direction of the secret passage, thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Ben Shuai can only guarantee it." After the city is broken, Ben Shuai will never kill your master, as for whether the adult can reuse him, it is not within the scope of Ben Shuai's control, but Ben Shuai can do his best for him in front of the adult. ”
When Zhang Wu heard this, he was overjoyed. There was another kowtow, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you General Ding, thank you General Ding!"
Ding Feng waved his hand and asked, "Now, can you say it?"
Zhang Wu Zhengse said: "Back to General Ding, the secret passage is in Chilong Mountain. ”
"Oh?" Ding Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Our army spies have also investigated Chilong Mountain in detail, and they have not found any secret passages in it. ”
"The location of the secret passage is extremely secret, and even the locals who have lived in the Red Dragon Altar for generations do not know the location of this secret passage. So ......" Zhang Wu looked at the Jin generals around him, scratched his hair, and said: "So, it is reasonable that the spies of your army have taken a look and not found the secret passage. ”
Hearing this, the surrounding Jin generals were all furious, but Ding Feng laughed on his back, nodded and said, "What you say is reasonable." There was a slight pause. He said again: "Where are Xu Bai and Hou Yuan?"
"The last will be!" With the voice of the answer, the two generals stepped out of the ranks. Bow to Ding Feng.
"You two go with Zhang Wu to see what the situation is in that secret passage, and after finding out clearly, return to the camp quickly and report to me!"
"The last general obeys the order!" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan, the second general, walked out of the Chinese military tent with Zhang Wu, and they had just left on their front feet. The generals present said excitedly: "General, this is really God's help to our army! As long as our army can sneak into the city quietly, even if the enemy army in the city is numerous, it will be easy to capture the Red Dragon Altar." ”
Ding Feng was naturally very happy. However, he was much calmer than the generals, and said: "You don't have to be so excited! Let's not say whether this secret passage Zhang Wu said is true or false, and even if it is true, how can you know that it must not be a trick of the Red Army? If there is fraud in it, won't our army be in trouble?"
Ahh
Zhang Wu said that Peng Cheng did not harm Chen Ping, but wanted to take refuge in himself, but he had two skins on his mouth, no matter what he said, who knew if the real situation of Lu Dao was as he said. If it is really a trick and you believe it to be true, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"General, in your opinion, this martial arts ...... Is it a human or a ghost?"
Ding Feng sneered and said, "I don't have a heavenly eye, how can I tell if he is a human or a ghost, but according to my understanding of Lord Chen, he will never easily fall for Peng Cheng's plot, and there may really be another hidden secret." ”
Everyone was also ambiguous when they heard him, and the excitement they had just given birth was swept away, and they all frowned and fell into deep thought.
That night, Xu Bai and Hou Yuan returned to the Jin army camp with Zhang Wu, and the two first set Zhang Wu up, and then came to see Ding Feng and report the details to him: what Zhang Wu said was true, there was really a secret passage in Chilong Mountain.
Located on the mountainside of Mt. Chiryu, this secret passage is a long cave that runs through the mountain and can be passed from one side of the mountain to the other.
It is difficult to find out whether this cave was formed naturally or artificially, and Zhang Wu does not know, but it has been there for a long time.
Although the mouth of the cave is located in the middle of the mountain, but there are still tens of meters high from the foot of the mountain, as for how to climb, the original cliff wall under the mouth of the cave, nailed some iron pickles, people can climb the iron pickles a little bit, because the number of the iron picks is not much, the protrusion is not very obvious, plus and the mountain stone are the same color, even if you go to the front to observe, it is difficult to find its existence. This is also the reason why this secret passage is not known.
It can be said that even if a normal person knows the location of the iron poles, it is difficult to climb by them, and it is necessary for a mountaineer to be familiar with mountaineering skills.
Hearing this, Ding Feng spread his hands and said, "According to what you two said, there are only a few hundred people in our army who can pass through the secret passage?"
"No, no, no!" Hou Yuan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "As long as one brother climbs first and throws down the rope, the other brothers can easily go." ”
"En!" Ding Feng nodded, and then confirmed again, "The cave can indeed lead to the side of the Red Dragon Altar?"
"Yes, the last general will see it with his own eyes. Xu Bai Zhengse said: "Through the cave, pour the hole on the other side, the entire city of the Red Dragon Altar is in full view, and the internal deployment of the city defense can be faintly visible." ”
"What is the place going down from the hole on the other side?"
According to Zhang Wu's confession, below the entrance of the cave is the temporary county capital, which is Peng Cheng's residence. Hou Yuan replied.
"If Peng Cheng really wants to help our army break through the city, this is a good opportunity, and there is no need to worry about our soldiers being discovered by the enemy when they come down from the cave. ”
"Exactly!"
"Go and find Zhang Wu quickly, I want to talk to him in detail. ”
"Yes! General!"
About two teas passed. Zhang Wu was brought by Xu Bai and Hou Yuan, and when he saw Ding Feng, he carefully knelt on the ground and saluted, saying, "The villain sees General Ding!"
"Get up! The situation of the secret passage, Ben Shuai has already heard the introduction of the two generals Xu and Hou, and it can indeed be used for our army to use for sneak attacks. You go back and tell Lord Peng that our army will sneak into the Red Dragon Altar through the secret passage in the middle of the night tomorrow, and you tell Lord Peng to be sure to respond. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! General Ding rest assured, the villain will definitely bring the general's intentions. ”
"Well, at that time, our brothers will shake the torches at the entrance of the cave to signal, and if everything is safe, you can shake the torches at the bottom of the mountain and signal our army to enter the city. ”
"Yes! The villain remembered. Zhang Wu listened carefully. I'm afraid I'll miss a word.
"After the city is broken, Ben Shuai will not hurt Lord Peng's life, and he can continue to be the head of Surabaya County, as for whether he will be promoted to a knight in the future, it depends on the decision of the lord, and it is not something that I can control as the commander of the first legion. Ding Feng didn't want to deceive Peng Cheng, to tell the truth, even if he could appoint the head of the county. That's only temporary, can it be retained for a long time? In the end, it depends on Lin Haotian's decision.
Zhang Wu nodded while listening, and responded again and again.
After saying everything that should be said, Ding Feng waved his hand and said, "You go back to the city quickly, and after seeing Master Peng, bring everything you mean." And let Master Peng be ready to respond, in addition, this matter is very important, and you must not leak the news, understand?"
"Yes, yes!" the villain understood. The villain understands!"
"Yes, you go!"
The villain took his leave. ”
Zhang Wu kowtowed again, then stood up, took small steps, and retreated to the door of the tent, only then turned and left.
After he left, Xu Bai and Hou Yuan also stood up and bowed their hands to Ding Feng and said, "General, the last general will go back to prepare for war!"
"What kind of battle are you going for?" Ding Feng asked with a smile.
"Isn't the general going to use the secret passage to sneak attack the enemy city tomorrow?" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan said inexplicably, such a big thing, doesn't there need to prepare for war?
Ding Feng smiled indifferently and said slowly, "Who said I was going to attack the city tomorrow?"
"But I ...... just now"
"That's just a small temptation!" Ding Feng narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "I have to see first, whether Peng Cheng's surrender is sincere or false, whether he really wants to help our army break through the city, or if he has other plans." ”
Ding Fengke was born in a veteran oil, with a belly full of flowers, and he could completely believe Zhang Wu's words because of his words, even if what Zhang Wu said was true.
"I see!" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan understood his intentions.
"You two quickly let our army spies and Zhang Wu, it is best to sneak into the city without attracting the other party's notice, and find out the details of the city. Ding Feng raised his head and said.
"Yes!" Xu and Hou didn't dare to slack off, they both agreed, and then hurriedly ran out of the Zhongjun tent.
The next day, in the middle of the night, inside the Red Dragon Mandala.
Now that it was the time agreed by Ding Feng, Peng Cheng took a group of henchmen and quietly came to the back of the mansion. The temporary county capital where he lives now is built on the Chilong Mountain, and there is only a walkway less than two meters wide between them, so it can be said that as long as you come down from the Chilong Mountain, you can enter his mansion as soon as possible.
Peng Cheng stood in the courtyard of the backyard, looking up at the black cliff, where was the slightest bit of fire? After waiting for a long time, he anxiously asked his confidants: "What time is it?"
"My lord, it's almost two quarters of an hour. One of his men replied in a low voice.
"Why haven't you seen the signal of the Jin Army yet?" Peng Cheng muttered, turned his eyes to look at Zhang Wu, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Wu, you can't be mistaken, right?
"My lord, it's absolutely right, it was said by Ding Feng, the commander of the Jin Army, in person, just tonight. ”
"What about them? Now that it's past the end of the sea, why haven't you seen the shadow of the Jin Army?"
"This ......" Zhang Wu couldn't tell why Jin Jun didn't show up as promised, he was so anxious that his head was full of sweat, wiped it indiscriminately, and stammered: "Maybe...... Maybe Jin Jun changed his mind temporarily......"
"With such a big event, how could Jin Jun temporarily change his plan?" Peng Cheng's heart burned, and he reprimanded angrily: "Useless things, explain your affairs, none of them can be done well." ”
Zhang Wu was so scolded that he couldn't raise his head, and asked cautiously, "That'...... My lord, we are ...... now Still...... Do you want to wait any longer?"
"What are you waiting for?" Peng Cheng said angrily: "It's been so long since the time came, and I can't even see the figure of the Jin Army, presumably the Jin Army won't come again tonight." As he spoke, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, and with a look of anger on his face, he turned back to his bedroom.
The other people looked at each other, and the last one shook their heads in unison, and whispered, "Let's all disperse first!"
It didn't take long, and only Zhang Wu was left in the huge backyard.
Until this time, his face was still full of unwillingness, he raised his eyes to look at the mountain, frowned tightly as he watched, and muttered to himself: "That's right! The time agreed by Ding Feng yesterday is indeed tonight, why didn't anyone come!"
He couldn't figure out what had happened in the middle, and after standing in the courtyard for a long time, he walked away with a long sigh.
The situation on their side was clearly seen by the Jin Army spies who were ambushed in the dark.
The Jin Army spies were actually very close to them, hiding on the ten-meter-high cliff, but he was wearing a dark green suit, even his face and hands were painted dark green, he was sticking to the cliff, it was really like a part of the cliff, even if he came closer to look, he might not be able to find it, not to mention that it was still dark at night.
Seeing that all the people in the courtyard left, the Jin Army scout, who seemed to be integrated with the cliff, slowly climbed towards the mouth of the cave on the mountainside. The entrance to the cave is not large, and it is surrounded by grass and vines, which covers the entrance of the cave very tightly, and it is because of this that the cave has not been noticed by people.
The Jin army spies moved quickly, holding the fire fold, quickly passed through the cave, walked to the exit on the other side, and then went down the rope, with the help of the rope, quickly descended the mountain.
When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he took out the fire breaker again, burned the rope, and made sure that there was no trace left, and then returned to the Jin army camp.
After the Jin army spies saw Ding Feng, they told him everything about the situation in the county capital.
Ding Feng nodded while listening, and after his own spy finished speaking, he asked uneasily: "Is there really no ambush under the mountain?"
"No! The villain saw it very clearly, except for the dozen or so people who were waiting for our signal in the courtyard, there were no other soldiers. The Sky Eye Scout said affirmatively.
It seems that Zhang Wu is not lying, Peng Cheng does have the intention of surrendering. (To be continued......)
