Chapter 521: Dedication to Duty
Fu Wei received Cao Cao's general order, and sent troops to Weisu on the same day, and the gongs and drums sounded in unison along the way, and the flags fluttered.
Wen Ping continued to guard the city and guard the Wei army, although most of the captives had been persuaded to surrender, but it was difficult to ensure that someone disobeyed the law and leaked the news.
After everything was arranged, Fu Wei led his elite soldiers across Tianzhu Mountain to Jiashi Road, and Fu Wei was the vanguard when he arrived in front of the mountain but was stopped by the Wei army.
Since Cao Hong's soldiers entered Anhui City, the soldiers took the Lujiang River without blood, and Wang Ji, the general of Jiashi, often paid attention to the news ahead, seeing that Cao Hong was only celebrating the achievements of the people in the city, and the Jingzhou soldiers were indifferent in the Xunyang area, and the two sides did not go to war.
Several times sent people to Anhui City to ask for orders, but was reprimanded by the defenders and returned, just helpless, but saw a group of soldiers and horses come to the camp, to cross the stone road back to Huainan, more and more suspicious.
Fu Wei took out the Cao Hong token and ordered someone to send it to the camp, Wang Ji repeatedly checked it, the token was correct, and sighed: "If General Cao was willing to agree with me on the code, why is it so?" ”
The adjutant general was puzzled: "Since it is General Cao's soldiers and horses, and he has a token in his hand, why hasn't the general let him go?" ”
Wang Jiyan said: "Since General Cao arrived in Lujiang, he did not send a soldier to guard the counties, Zhang Fei has coveted Lujiang for a long time, but he is like a tiger napping, indifferent, there must be something strange in it." Now General Cao Hong was ordered to take the beard, and the men and horses have been out, so it is incomprehensible that he should divide his troops to reject Zhang Fei, but he transferred his troops back to the camp. ”
The adjutant general persuaded: "They transported good things from Lujiang to Huainan, it must be to please the prime minister, General Cao is the prime minister's confidant, if the general hesitates and slackens and annoys General Cao, we can't afford to be guilty." ”
"I have been commanded to keep this important way, and I should do my duty, how can I show favoritism?" Wang Ji frowned, rubbing the token in his hand, hesitating.
Although Wang Ji was suspicious, no matter how much he wanted to break his head, he never imagined that Cao Hong and the 20,000 army would be silently served by Zhang Fei.
At this time, Fu Wei was already scolding outside the camp, telling them that the Jiangnan fruits in the car would all have to be moved if they were delayed on the road.
The defenders hurriedly reported, Wang Ji put on his horse, led the troops to the front of the camp, hugged his fists and said: "I am under the order of the Governor of the Metropolitan to guard the stone, and no one is allowed to pass without the order of the Governor, unless General Cao arrives in person." ”
"Wait for what a big dog!" Fu Wei was furious, and pointed his gun at the defenders: "General Cao has led his troops to the battle, do you want him to turn back halfway?" If you delay General Cao's major event, you all have to die! ”
The defenders suddenly made a commotion, and they all looked at Wang Ji, all complaining in their hearts, who is Cao Hong, you are a young general here to deliberately make things difficult, you are not afraid of death, don't worry about it, don't bother everyone, okay?
Wang Ji's face sank like water, and he clenched his fists and said: "If General Cao doesn't have time to come here, I have no choice but to send someone to report to the Metropolitan Governor, forgive me for the military order, and it is inconvenient to show favoritism." ”
"What a dog thief, you dare to stop General Cao!" Fu Wei was violent, took a bow and arrow, shot at Wang Ji, pointed at the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Good dog don't get in the way, break in!" ”
Wang Ji lifted the arrow with his knife, and when he saw that Fu Wei was about to break into the camp, he ordered: "Trespassing into the military camp is like a rebellion, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
As soon as the drums sounded, Fu Wei led the troops to rush to the front of the camp, and the front army wanted to forcibly open the camp gate, but was shot back by a burst of arrows.
Fu Wei was furious, and pointed at Wang Ji and sneered: "Okay, well, if you are really bold, when I report to General Cao, when he comes in person, take you as a dog thief, and I will pick your skin with my own hands." ”
Seeing that the people and horses and vehicles retreated with hatred and set up camp not far away, Wang Ji ordered the deputy general to strictly guard the camp and send someone to report to Cao Ren overnight.
Jiashi Wei Jun complained up and down, secretly scolding Wang Ji for being old-fashioned and unreasonable, what kind of person is Cao Hong, and he is also famous for protecting his shortcomings, in order to protect his relatives, he almost killed all his favors, can he have a good end if he offends?
The adjutant general was also speechless for a while, thinking that if he offended Cao Hong this time, his future would be ruined, and if he delayed the military plane because of this, it would be a big crime to kill his head, this young man really didn't understand the world.
But complaining is complaining, but everyone has to act according to orders, and Wang Ji is held accountable afterwards, and now he is about to lose his head if he violates the order.
Fu Wei returned to the village and told Zhang Feishou that he would not let him pass, and even Cao Hong's token dared to refuse, and said with emotion: "I can't imagine that there are such dedicated people in this remote place." ”
"Didn't this kid see any flaws?" Zhang Fei touched his furry chin and frowned, "What went wrong?" ”
Wang Shuang hummed and said, "No matter what he sees, I will lead an army to kill it first and behead this bastard." ”
Fu Wei shook his head and said: "We are waiting for a surprise attack on Pengcheng, it is inconvenient to forcibly rush to the camp, once the news is leaked, I am afraid that it will affect the lord's plan." ”
Zhang Feihuan's eyes purred, and he was so anxious that he turned in circles: "The Shouchun war is about to start, but I was trapped by a pawn and delayed the fighter, how should this be good?" ”
Wang Shuang said again: "It's better to rob the camp overnight and kill all the defenders here, so that the news won't leak." ”
"Childish!" Zhang Fei glared at Wang Shuang, and thought: "Judging from Wang Ji's words and deeds, he just didn't dare to let him go, and he didn't know through my identity......" Suddenly frowned, clapped his hands and said: "There is!" ”
Fu Wei hurriedly asked, "What countermeasures does the general have?" ”
Zhang Fei sneered: "There are two shortcuts from the Lujiang River to Xuzhou, the left is a stone, and the right is a trailer. This kid guards the stone, you go to the hanging lane, Wang Ji will be worried that the trailer defenders will not dare to stop him, and go to the camp in person, Wang Shuang went to the mountain path to ambush him, and captured him alive. ”
"General's clever plan!" Fu Wei was overjoyed, and first ordered the soldiers to bury the pot on the spot to make rice, and when Wang Shuang's ambush soldiers were ready, he drove to the trailer.
Before he knew it, it was already afternoon, Wang Ji was patrolling the camp to appease the army, and suddenly the defenders came to report, and the carriages and horses outside the camp packed up and set off to the northwest.
Wang Ji was shocked: "This must be to take the hanging lane, the defenders will not dare to stop it, I need to rush back to the camp before him." ”
The adjutant general persuaded: "Since it is General Cao Hong's men, why should the general bother to stop him, just let him go." ”
Wang Ji had doubts in his heart, and said helplessly: "I was ordered by the governor of the capital to guard this place, and I couldn't do it well?" Offending General Cao is still secondary, and if the enemy army is allowed to enter the country, it will be a great crime. ”
The adjutant general shook his head and was speechless, this Lujiang River has been taken by Cao Hong for a long time, where is there still an enemy army in the territory, don't you want to make meritorious service and want to go crazy?
Wang Ji told the lieutenant general to guard the camp, took two hundred cavalry, went straight to the hanging lane from the mountain path, and just crossed a mountain pass, suddenly a gong sounded in front of him, and a Biao army came out of the forest, blocking the way and shouting: "Pedanc, dare to harm me?" ”
Wang Ji was shocked, and when he looked up, it was Fu Wei, and he hurriedly asked in surprise: "Who are you?" ”
Fu Wei hooked his fingers: "You come forward, I'll tell you." ”
Wang Ji was shocked, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to prepare to retreat, but saw that there was also a general behind him who was ambushed, his face was like black charcoal, his body was like an iron tower, and he was holding a big knife and roaring to urge the horse to rush over.
