Chapter 81: Destroying the withered and decaying
Zhang Miao, whose eyes were bloodshot, suddenly woke up from his dream.
"What time is it?" He asked the people around him in a daze.
He had been waiting for the outcome of the war, but at some point he fell asleep unconsciously.
"Yufu-kun, it's almost time." The guards guarding the hall said.
"Is it all time?" Zhang Miao rubbed his face twice to make himself sober, and then asked, "Weizi hasn't returned to the city yet?" ”
"Not yet. Fu Jun, why don't you rest for a while? If there is an emergency, come and wake up! The guard took the opportunity to say.
Zhang Miao took a few deep breaths, was in a daze for a moment, and shook his head, "No, I can't sleep anymore." ”
"Where is Chen Gong?"
"Mr. Gongtai has been guarding the city and staying with the soldiers." The Guardian said.
Zhang Miao put on his clothes and went to the ground, "Chen Gongtai can be regarded as dutiful, follow me to the city." ”
"Whoa!"
In the dark of night, only a few lone lights flickered on the street.
After the soldiers and horses were exhausted, the city suddenly seemed extremely empty.
Footsteps on the bluestone paved ground, and the echo of loneliness spreads all the way forward.
The oncoming wind suddenly brought a hint of sound to it.
Zhang Miao listened attentively, and his expression suddenly changed, "Did you hear any sounds?" ”
The soldiers shook their heads in unison.
They didn't hear anything.
Zhang Miao shook his head, thinking that he must have been too nervous, causing auditory hallucinations in his ears.
But he had just taken a few steps when the sound of a fierce battle faintly sounded in his ears.
"Did you hear that?" He asked again.
Some of the guards shook their heads, others nodded frantically.
"Fujun, it seems that there is a fight." A guard said.
Zhang Miao's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed to the city.
There were still only a few torches lit on the city, and Zhang Miao rushed up in a hurry and shouted, "Where is Chen Gong?" Chen Gong?! ”
In the darkness, someone walked over slowly, bent down and bowed, "Fu Jun! ”
"What's going on?!" Zhang Miao asked urgently.
The light of the torch reflected Chen Gong's face, "We...... Hit the trick! ”
"Tricked? This official has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he has been tricked?! Zhang Miao instantly felt that the sky had fallen, and the dark sky seemed to be over his head.
Chen Gong had a hint of bitterness in his voice, and nodded slowly, "It should be...... Target. It was not clear in the dark, but he felt that General Wei might be more than lucky. ”
Zhang Miao hurriedly rushed to the city wall and asked, "Is it Weizi who is holding the torch?" ”
"No, it's General Wei who is surrounded by firelight!" Chen Gong said, "General Wei left the city in the daytime, and the army did not prepare torches at all. ”
Looking at the slap surrounded by firelight, Zhang Miao's strength seemed to be drained in an instant.
With an army of more than 20,000, there is only so much land left.
How many people are there?
Less than two thousand, right?!
"Mr. Gongtai, you told me that this battle will be won." He leaned limply against the wall and said in a wailing voice.
Chen Gong's expression was also a little complicated, "Yes, I didn't expect that the 20,000 army would be like this." ”
"I didn't want to blame you, but you hurt me!" Zhang Miao slammed his fist on the city wall, and the whole person was depressed, as if he was about to go crazy.
Chen Gong lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Can he be blamed for this?
He doesn't think so!
But now that he has a request for help, he can also admit this sin.
"Fu Jun, it's time to think about retreating!" Half an hour later, he reminded.
Zhang Miao smiled in despair, "A way to retreat? What is the way to retreat now?! ”
"There are more than 20,000 troops, and now there are only so many poor people left who are still struggling to support, what can they do?"
Chen Gong sighed lightly in his heart, but still said: "Fu Jun, it's still too late to run!" Even if you become a minister under the scenes, as long as you keep your life, everything will have a day to start over. ”
"Run?!" Zhang Miao raised his head and smiled mockingly, "Will the emperor give us a chance to escape?" Will Cao Mengde be? ”
Chen Gong said this intentionally, he slowly bent down and took a deep look, "I implore the prince of the mansion to give him a ride of humble duties, Cao Mengde is a friend of the prince of the mansion for many years, and he will not harm your life." ”
"That's what you mean." Zhang Miao laughed twice, "If there is a way to live, I will take you with me." ”
"But Cao Mengde has promised me that he will take care of my wife and children."
Chen Gong: ......
"But there's a way to live." Chen Gong muttered, brewing his own way out in his heart.
Zhang Miao died, but he would not necessarily die.
"Where's the way to live? Do you want me to beg Cao Mengde? Zhang Miao's two flamboyant eyebrows squeezed together.
Chen Gong bowed slightly.
That's what he always meant.
"Impossible!" Zhang Miao decisively refused, "If Cao Mengdenian was willing to help me in his friendship with me for many years, he would have done it a long time ago." If he doesn't want to, he will only lose my face, and there will be no benefit in other than that. ”
At this moment, a few crisp noises suddenly sounded on the city.
A soldier hurriedly came to report: "Fujun, the enemy army is building a ladder!" ”
Zhang Miao looked around with complicated eyes, and suddenly said to Chen Gong: "Tie me up!" Not only will I save your life, but I will also give you a transformation. ”
Chen Gong shook his head and refused, "If I were willing to do it, I would have done it a long time ago." ”
"The prince of the palace is righteous, but my Chen Gong is not the kind of person who betrays the lord and seeks glory, and is ungrateful."
Zhang Miao looked at Chen Gong for a long time.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other for a moment in the faint light of the torches, as if they were affectionate, Zhang Miao raised his hand and waved it, "Then you should flee quickly, take advantage of the chaos after the city is broken, take the opportunity to go out of the city, hide for a while, and then seek a future." ”
"This is the sin of rebellion, otherwise, it will be lowered!"
Chen Gong also sighed a little.
Until now, he was in a trance, he really didn't expect that he would lose so easily in a battle full of confidence.
Looks like nothing has been done yet!
They're already in shambles.
"Come on, open the gates, surrender!" Zhang Miao got up and shouted.
At this moment, Zhang Miao is like a centenarian, and he can't even walk steadily.
When he passed by Chen Gong's side, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”
"The Mansion is precious!" Chen Gong waved his hand, turned around and went down the city.
His figure soon disappeared into the night.
Zhang Miao shook his head and sneered, "It stands to reason that I should have killed you!" ”
"If it weren't for your strong advice, I wouldn't have made up my mind so happily to do what I dreamed of becoming a king and hegemon!"
"Now that the battle has been lost, I am about to die, but I have given you a way to live."
"Anyway, ......"
……
Cao Hong entered the city with a pride and ordered the gates and streets to be blocked.
"Little Broken City, there are tens of thousands of people with armor, why can't you help fighting?" He shouted loudly, just in time to see Zhang Miao with his hands tied and driven down from the city by the guards.
"Can you give me a name about this general?" Zhang Miao said.
Cao Hong grinned and said, "Traitor, why do you ask Naiweng's name?" Could it be that you still want to turn into a ghost and come to a certain house? ”
"I don't mean that, it's just that I've always respected heroes and heroes, and this can be regarded as a little wish before I die. I should have known who had beaten me, right? Zhang Miao said.
Cao Hong snorted coldly, "Blame you for not having long eyes, a certain Cao Hong!" ”
Zhang Miao was stunned, and Cao Hong ...... He knows.
"It turned out to be Zilian in person. Mount Tai stands in front of him and doesn't know, it's really ashamed! Zhang Miao shook his head and smiled.
"So you're blind a traitor!" Cao Hong scolded, "What's wrong with learning, but learning from other people's rebellion?" You're looking for death! ”
Zhang Miao smiled bitterly, "It's too late to regret!" I wonder where Meng De is now? ”
"Wait, it's coming soon!" Cao Hong said, "Someone comes, take him down first, and lock him up with the surnamed Wei." ”
……
In prison, when Zhang Miao asked Wei Zi why the battle was fought like this.
Wei Zi, who was covered in injuries, leaned against the wall and said weakly: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, it's really ...... I don't know. ”
"You don't know either?!" Zhang Miao was shocked.
The battle was defeated, but Weiz, who was the main general, didn't even know it.
How can there be such a thing in the world?!
Weitz's empty eyes looked at the darkness in front of him in a daze, and said, "Maybe it's a lowly and hasty advance." ”
"After he led the army out of the city, he led people to chase the enemy cavalry all the way, but no matter how he chased it, he couldn't catch up with him alive or dead. Later, I was also aroused, I think everyone is cavalry, our horses are tired, and they must be tired. ”
"However, I was wrong, for their horses did not look like they were eating grass at all, and I never caught up with them. Seeing that it was getting late, I didn't dare to pursue it any longer, so I led my army back. ”
Zhang Miao listened, his brows twisted into Sichuan characters, "How can you not catch up?" ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, perhaps, their war horses are also thousands of choices." Weitz said with great difficulty, "Aside from this reason, I really can't understand how they did it!" ”
"On the way back to the city, Gao Rou suspected that we might have been ambushed, and I laughed at him."
"After walking less than a few miles, I found that we were really ambushed!"
"They're so mad, they're so inhuman!"
"A few piles of people, the black smoke that soars into the sky has obscured the sky."
"Manshan?" Zhang Miao asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Weitz turned his head slightly, "They piled up several of our soldiers and burned them all. ”
Anger instantly enveloped Zhang Miao's cheeks like weeds after rain, "How can the emperor be like this!" How so! ”
He roared and slammed his fist into the wall.
"Maybe in the eyes of the emperor, we, the rebels, are not worthy of being human at all!" Weitz said mockingly.
"Fart!" Zhang Miao roared angrily, "I must meet the emperor and ask the emperor in person why this is!" ”
Weizi felt that Zhang Miao was completely wishful thinking, but he didn't persuade him.
Anyway, they're all dying people, so let's just toss around.
He wanted to know now why the war horses of the imperial court guards could run so fast.
……
Liu Wei moved Chen Liucheng in the early morning of the third day after Chen Liucheng's break.
Yesterday's heavy rain washed away the traces of the battlefield.
Liu Wei stepped on the mud on the street and walked into the Chen Liufu Office.
After Cao Cao reported the whole war, he asked, "How are the corpses disposed of?" ”
"After being burned, they are all buried." Cao Cao replied.
"Hmm." Liu argued in response, and once again admonished, "The corpses exposed in the wilderness are the most direct source of the plague. Even if it can't be burned, the battlefield must be cleaned in time and the grave should be dug deep for burial. ”
"After the great plague, there will be a great plague, and you well-educated people should know this sentence better than me. In this matter, you must not slack off, after the war, even a corpse in the wilderness cannot be left! ”
"Yui!" Cao Cao and the others responded in unison.
They know it.
But the plague was caused by corpses, and they really didn't know about it.
"I heard that Zhang Miao is still alive, bring it up, and I'll see you!" Liu Wei said.
"Yui!" Cao Cao replied and gave Cao Hong a look.
Zhang Miao, who had only been in prison for two days, was in withered shape, with deep-set eye sockets, and looked as if all his energy had been drained.
He came up to the hall with heavy shackles, clasped his hands together, and stood straight in the middle of the hall.
Not only did he not salute Liu Bian, but his expression was arrogant and his eyes were wide.
"Kneel!" Yinglin slammed his back on Zhang Miao's back.
But Zhang Miao, who looked fluttering, just stumbled for a moment, and didn't fall down.
Liu Wei waved his hand at Yinglin and said to Zhang Miao: "From your eyes, I seem to see that I am a tyrant without reason. ”
"Don't you think so, Your Majesty?" Zhang Miao's eyes were like electricity, and he shouted in a deep voice.
Liu Wei looked at Zhang Miao with a calm expression, "I really want to hear the truth in your mouth, where is my cruelty?" ”
"Killing uncles and mothers, mutilating ministers, showing no mercy to the people, being unreasonable, and not even letting go of the dead. Your Majesty, can't any of this be true? Zhang Miao's hair was all open, and he shouted angrily.
Liu Wei sighed lightly and looked at Cao Cao and the others, "So, that's how people in the world see me?" ”
"The people of Guanzhong are all grateful for His Majesty's kindness, the elderly father hopes that his only son will fight for His Majesty, and the wife would rather support the family alone and serve the grandmother, but also send her husband to the battlefield." Xun You said.
"Then why do the people of Chen Liu think I am so cruel and unkind? That's not right. Liu Wei said.
Xun You glanced at Zhang Miao and smiled slightly, "Maybe there are too many sages in Chen Liu." ”
"Traitor!" Zhang Miao opened his mouth and roared, and a thick phlegm flew sideways towards Xun Yu at the same time.
Cao Cao suddenly became furious, "Why is Meng Zhuo so stubborn? Do you have nothing but rumors in your eyes? ”
"Am I stubborn? Okay, don't mention it! "Zhang Miao was almost stupid," the criminal dared to ask His Majesty, why did he set fire to the mountain? Even if they are defeated soldiers, they are still living people. ”
"So that's one of the brutalities, right?" Liu Wei somewhat understood, "You ignorant horseman, what is the difference between burning and exposing corpses in the wilderness?" What's more, I also ordered them to be buried. ”
"I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'll explain to you, burning and burying it is to put an end to the plague."
Zhang Miao smiled mockingly, "Your Majesty, everyone in the world has a pair of eyes!" ”
"If you don't want to be betrayed by everyone and the world falls apart, Your Majesty, you should also be sober and sober, otherwise, the Han family is in danger!"
"Whether you, the co-ruler of the world, are cruel or benevolent, everyone in the world can see. It's not what you say it is, it's just what you say! ”
The moment Liu Wei heard this, his stomach was full of karma.
It's really fucking someone who can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
