Outside the east gate of Langzhou, Zhang Zizheng, who was standing on a horse, was surrounded by light horses, calmly watching the dense Wuping army, wearing a striking purple official robe, and a look of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his color.

Purple robe, however, Zhang Zi at this time is not what it used to be.

His mentor Xu Xuan didn't deceive him, and after following King Zheng, he quickly got out of the way, and after Xu Xuan ascended to the right minister, this idle bachelor with a false title was soon promoted to the Zhongshu who drafted the edict for the emperor, and was awarded the general doctor. Subsequently, under the recommendation of King Zheng, he was able to show his talents in front of Emperor Li Jing.

Since Zhang Zi put on this purple robe that represents glory, he was uninhibited in the past, but he loved to be neat, and although he was waiting outside the city gate at this time, he was still raising his hand and kept stroking and shaking his cuffs, for fear that he would be contaminated by the dust splashed by the horse's hooves.

With a "squeak", the east gate finally opened slowly, and Zhang Zi immediately tidied up his clothes, straightened his chest and raised his head.

I thought that Li Yuan, who was ordered to come to summon, even if he was in the limelight, had to honestly abide by the courtiers' ways, and led the civil and military officials of Wuping to welcome him, not to mention the warm scene, which was in line with the etiquette system, but when he saw that there were only a few fast horses galloping out of the city gate, and immediately those few people were gloomy and menacing, and they suddenly felt that something was not right.

And the cavalry around Zhang Zi is becoming more and more uneasy, they don't have the confidence in Zhang Zi's heart now, just because the scene in front of them is really warm, isn't this dense army of 10,000 people enough?

"The Sword Comes"

"Zhang Sheren has been waiting for a long time!" Liu Jiangsheng and Zhu Kuangcong, the second general, stepped forward to greet each other first, with calm faces.

Zhang Zi smiled stiffly, and returned the salute, but his eyes had been searching in the deep city gate cave in front of him, and until the city gate was closed again, no one rushed out, and on the few horses beside the two generals, no one was wearing the rumored gold armor or the same purple robe as himself.

"Where's Li Dashuai? Does he have an important business in the city? Zhang Zi put up with his heart for the time being, frowned and asked.

Liu Jiangsheng said with a smile: "Zhang Sheren, since the pacification of Langzhou, my family has been working hard day and night to govern the government and appease the people, and in addition to the recent wars, there are important tasks almost every day, and the same is true at this moment!" At present, Yiyang is in danger, the soldiers are fighting bloodily, and the marshal wants to lead the army to rush to help......

His Royal Highness King Zheng has come to the labor army, and the marshal should have been ordered to listen to the order, but thinking that the soldiers are now fighting bloodily in front of him, and he needs to listen to His Majesty's holy will to boost morale. In this way, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted, and then it will win! Your Majesty will be happy at that time, and King Zheng will also make a lot of contributions......"

It is true that after Liu Jiangsheng became a general, he often humbly asked Xu Kuangheng for advice, as if it had played a role, and now his speech is not only crepe, but also more and more organized, this reasonableness and evidence naturally worked, I saw Zhang Zi's face suddenly gloomy, just wanted to refute but hesitated, and finally coldly squeezed out a sentence: "Having said so much, isn't Li Dashuai just avoiding it?" ”

Then his eyes rolled, he shook his head and said with a cruel smile: "This official has heard of Li Dashuai's prestige for a long time in the court, but now he has learned it, and he is a famous general in the world, it is really a big shelf!" Li Dashuai has important tasks every day, which is really a daily opportunity, but he doesn't want His Royal Highness King Zheng to travel thousands of miles this time, and he is tired of traveling by boats and cars, forcing me to wait day and night, isn't it just to arrive at Langzhou Labor Army as soon as possible?

Since it is a labor army, His Royal Highness ordered the commander of the army to listen to the order, what is wrong? As you said, if the handsome man is really high-spirited and wants to make the soldiers under his command feel the emperor's grace, why did he order the soldiers to form in front of the door to refuse His Highness's car? There is a discrepancy between the inside and the outside, or there is a suspicion of harboring evil intentions! ”

Xu is heart is impatient, Zhang Zi's words are obviously beyond the scope of sarcasm, but they are already excessive.

When Liu Jiangsheng heard the words at this time, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and Zhu Kuangcong, who had always been reckless, how could he bear it? "Winter" slammed the long knife in his hand straight to the ground, and rebuked viciously: "Nonsense, what harbors evil intentions? The handsome man doesn't know how many feats he has established for our dynasty! Loyalty and courage are unparalleled, and the whole country knows! Shall you be slandered? Skinny as a chicken, you little white lady, get out of here! ......”

Seeing that Zhu Kuangcong was already grinning and scolding, the two sides suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation, Liu Jiangsheng took a deep breath, and his eyes eagerly signaled Zhu Kuangcong to stop speaking, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Zhang Sheren, don't be surprised!" This Zhu Du has always been like this, he is a good hand at fighting, but unfortunately he speaks too directly and does not grasp the sense of proportion, and my marshal often reprimands him......

But at the end of the day, it's not rough! Zhang Sheren's words just now are really too much! The loyalty and courage of the marshal even His Majesty is often praised, in the past great military exploits, at this time it is the heavy responsibility of pacifying Chu for the imperial court, just pacified Dongxi but non-stop, and has to deal with the Han army that came to the victory, at the expense of his own hard work for the country, if it is said to harbor evil intentions, I am afraid that it will make the army and people of Wuping cold, Your Majesty will not be happy when you hear it! ”

Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, Zhu Kuangcong still couldn't help it, and continued to shout with a heavy face: "What kind of person is that, if because of your words, it affects the morale of the army and delays the war, can you afford it?" Dressed like a human dog, it's a pity that you have more mouths, your mouth is too stinky, don't bother His Royal Highness King Zheng!

If you want me to say, go back quickly, please Your Highness hurry up and get ready, and lead the army to the Yiyang front line with us! Isn't it just to comfort the soldiers who fought for the country? If you don't even dare to go to the front line, and you still work as a ghost, it is better to go back to Jinling to comfort the woman! ”

Liu Jiangsheng couldn't help but smile, and said: "Zhu Du, Zhang Sheren has worked hard all the way, don't be rude!" ”

The two of them sang and harmonized in front of him, Zhang Zi was so angry and anxious that he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood. He has always had a clear mind, but at this time he seems to be bypassed, or because Zhu Kuang's fierce appearance is really heartbreaking, he didn't dare to refute it, and he had to grit his teeth and say in shame: "Since the handsome man insists on going his own way, this official has no choice but to return to His Highness according to the truth!" But how to work the army still needs to be decided by His Royal Highness, and this official can't be the master! ”

Zhu Kuangcong smiled and said, "Oh, then please!" The military affairs are busy, so I will not send it far! ”

Just as he was about to turn his horse's head and leave angrily, one of the guards of the forbidden army mustered up the courage and whispered to Zhang Zi: "Zhang Sheren, if we really go back like this, Your Highness will be furious......

Having said that, with dozens of rides beside him, what can Zhang Zizong do if he blows up his lungs? There was a dense army of Wuping in front of him, and he was helpless, so he had to lower his voice and give orders to the guards beside him, and at the same time he did not return with the reins.

In just five miles, Zhang Zi was tormented, in addition to trying to calm the anger gushing in his chest, he also had to think about how to explain to King Zheng, and the scene of King Zheng's thunderous anger seemed to appear in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.

The horse's hooves swept by, raising dust all the way, and this purple robe, which had been kept clean all the time, was finally a mess ......
