Chapter 318: The Storm Is Coming
Wang Cheng looked at the armor soldier, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Speak slowly! ”
The armor calmed down and said, "It's a fight!" The people of the Shanze Department are fighting with our people from Nanli County! ”
After Wang Cheng and Liu Qingsheng heard this, their faces were a little strange.
Although he deliberately concealed the people of Yamazabe, he never expected to hide it forever, but damn it, this was exposed too quickly, not even for two days.
"Mr. stayed to deal with official business, and I will handle this matter personally!"
Leaving these words, Wang Cheng walked out of the lobby.
With Qinglei in the courtyard by hand, he turned over and went straight to the outside of the city.
Soon, he came to the duck pond.
A very secluded wasteland that was originally surrounded by mountains and rivers is now surrounded by dense people.
At first glance, these people are the people of Nanli County, dressed simply, holding things in their hands, with iron forks, shovels, long sticks, and even bricks.
The whole wild duck pond is full of people, three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is impossible to see the situation inside at all, and can only hear some quarrels and scolding.
"Folks in Nanli County, you are now fighting with weapons and violating the laws of the imperial court! What can't you say to get yourself into a lawsuit? Let's all disperse! ”
"Can't be scattered! Those of you who are soldiers, you have to give us an explanation today. These wild people from the mountain country have killed so many of our villagers before, and today they have run to our territory again, not only do you not avenge us, but also build houses for others, are you still soldiers who left the south? ”
"Not bad! As a soldier of Nanli, protect the enemy and not make decisions for us, what kind of truth is this? ”
"Shut up the fuck! What do you know? The general has his own plans for placing them here, so don't spoil the general's plan! ”
"We don't know what to do! We only know that killing people pays for their lives, this is a matter of course! ”
"This military master, don't press us with the general! Which general treats foreigners more than we Zhou, General Wang is not that kind of person! ”
……
The scene was a bit chaotic, even if there were soldiers to maintain order, but the people of the surrounding Nanli County had almost broken through their blockade.
Naturally, Wang Cheng stayed here to block these armor soldiers in order to block this place and prevent outsiders from discovering the people of the Shanze Division.
The result was to his surprise, and the people of Yamazabe were still discovered.
Wang Cheng felt a worry in his heart, if the news that the people of the Shanze tribe were brought here reached the ears of that Li Jun, Zhang Han and the others stationed in the Shaba River Valley would not be safe.
At this time, someone finally discovered Wang Cheng's arrival.
"It's the general! The general has arrived! ”
"Quick! Meet General Wang! ”
……
Everyone immediately knelt down, but many people were still standing still, frowning coldly.
"General!"
Xu Yu squeezed out of the crowd, his fat face as red as his ass.
A burly man with a height of nearly two meters, standing in front of Wang Cheng at the moment, like a child who made a mistake, said aggrievedly: "General, the mark has disappointed you." ”
Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, but looked at the other armor soldiers, and said, "It's all gone!" They are right, killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, it is justified, let them fight, let them take revenge! ”
When the soldiers heard this, their minds couldn't turn at that time, but they still subconsciously obeyed Wang Cheng's order and dispersed.
Without them in the way, the people of the Shanze Department directly faced the people of Nanli County.
These Shanze people also gathered together, there were five or six hundred people, and the clothes they were wearing had been changed into the clothes of the Great Zhou, but the fierce light in their eyes was not reduced at all.
They have come here, this is their home, and they will naturally defend it to the death.
The faces of those people in Nanli County who were clamoring for revenge turned green, thinking that this was really a group of wild people.
If you really want to fight with these people, they will definitely win, after all, they are outnumbered, but there must be many villagers who have left their lives here.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"General Wang, I have heard that soldiers should protect their families and defend the country. Now that the enemy is in front of us, shouldn't General Wang lead his troops to exterminate them? ”
As soon as these words came out, they really aroused many people's echoes, and they all shouted for Wang Cheng to make a move.
What they are just ordinary people, killing the enemy is the business of the soldiers, otherwise what do the soldiers do.
"Well said!"
Wang Cheng applauded, but turned his head and said: "If these people are soldiers, this general will lead the troops to destroy them, this is the duty, but are they soldiers?" ”
He pointed at the people of the Yamazabe and said, "See clearly!" That's an old man! That's the kid! That's a woman! You let Ben Jiang make a move on these old and weak women and children, what is the difference between Ben Jiang and those beasts in Xia Kingdom? ”
The people were silent.
The Great Zhou has always claimed to be the country of suzerains, the center of this land, because they know etiquette and are the country of etiquette, so they despise other countries, especially the Xia Kingdom and the Gaoshan Kingdom, and consider them to be uncivilized savages.
"Let's fight! Hurry up! Ben will also want to know who is more powerful than the common people! ”
Wang Cheng looked at everyone and said loudly: "Don't worry! General Ben will not arrest you, even if you fight, no matter which of you is injured or killed, the cost of the soup and medicine will be paid by General Ben. ”
When it came to this point, the people who were clamoring to be beaten stopped fighting.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Ben Jiang knows that you are a little resentful in your heart, why is Ben Jiang so good to these foreigners?" ”
"The general will tell you today that these people have the same blood as you, and they have the blood of Zhou Yong, the thirteenth son of King Wen, Zhou Huigong."
When everyone heard this, their faces all showed surprise.
It turns out that these foreigners are their own people, but this fucking life is too miserable, like a wild man.
Many people had a trace of sympathy in their hearts, and they no longer had the same resistance and hatred for these Yamazabe people as before.
Maybe that's human nature. When you are doing well, many people around you are worried that you will get worse, and when you are not doing well, the people around you will have so-called sympathy for you.
Wang Cheng also knew this, and then made full use of this, so as to dispel the mustard of the locals of Nanli County against the people of Shanzebu.
Then, he added another fire.
"The brothers from the Yamazabe did not come empty-handed, but they brought with them a lot of cattle and sheep, 90,000 heads, at a fair price. If any of you need cattle or sheep, hurry up and buy them on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
The people of Nanli County looked at each other, and after hesitating for a moment, some of them were bold enough to run to the people of the Yamazawa Department and ask the price directly, so frightened that they almost did something to him.
Because Nanli County relies on the huge Nanli Mountains, the climate is complex and changeable, and it is the land of the four wars, and the local people raise relatively few cattle and sheep, so they can't eat a few meals of meat all year round.
Now that I heard that there are 90,000 cattle and sheep to be sold, the price is definitely not expensive, where can I still sit still?
Seeing that the two people were "in harmony", Wang Cheng finally put his heart in his stomach.
He beckoned, summoned Xu Yu, and whispered: "You check for me, who is secretly instigating these people to make trouble!" ”
Xu Yu was taken aback and said, "What does the general mean is that someone is deliberately provoking contradictions and sabotaging the general's plan?" ”
Wang Cheng didn't say much, but just asked him to investigate quietly and make sure that the person who was secretly instigated was caught.
After a few more words of explanation, Wang Cheng rushed back to the general's mansion.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a tall man in his fifties, with dark skin, sitting in the main seat.
Wang Cheng's heart was stunned, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Lord Thorn Shi!" ”
Bao Zheng raised his head, stared at Wang Cheng with majestic eyes, and said expressionlessly: "You are so bold!" dared to send people to attack Liuzhou and provoke a war between the two countries at will. ”
Suddenly, Wang Cheng's heart hung and said, "Adults know? ”
Bao Zheng snorted coldly and said, "The old man grew up here, and there is no one in the mountains in the south, where did the people of the mountain country come from?" Who else could it be but you kid sending someone to pretend? ”
Wang Cheng was stunned, he was not surprised that Bao Zheng saw his arrangement, but Bao Zheng didn't know that the Nanli Mountain Range was inhabited by the mountains of the Gaoshan Country.
It seems that this matter is too hidden!
Just as he was pondering, Bao Zheng's tone suddenly changed, and he said, "However, you kid did a good job!" ”
Wang Cheng was surprised, it was still a storm just now, why was the sun shining in a blink of an eye?
Bao Zhengdao: "You don't know, although the Xia people agreed to the conditions of the peace talks, they did not fully fulfill them. Two days ago, when they escorted those treasures into Wuping County, they sent a team of men and horses to raid Ji County, and now Ji County has changed hands. ”
"What?"
Wang Cheng couldn't react for a while, Ji County was taken away by the Xia people so quickly!
He couldn't help but ask: "How many people did the Xia people send?" ”
Bao Zheng sighed and said, "Only one thousand!" ”
"Only a thousand?!"
Wang Cheng couldn't believe it, and said: "General Zhu has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, and he has an iron arm crossbow to protect the city, how can it be broken by a thousand men and horses?" ”
Moreover, when he left Ji County, his subordinates were busy building new fortifications outside Ji County, and Zhu Hao and others had already built them completely when they came.
How could the county town of Kei, which was built like an iron bucket, be attacked by a mere thousand people?
Bao Zhengdao: "The leader is your old enemy, the sixth son of King Xia - Li Xiang!" ”
"It's him!"
Wang Cheng's expression changed, and a face with blue eyes immediately appeared in his mind.
This man is not dead!
That night this person was taken away, he knew that the other party would not die so easily, not to mention that powerful qi and blood, there was also an amazing treasure hidden in his body.
"The Xia people first used the peace talks to paralyze us and others, and then sent Li Xiang, a peerless general, to raid, and it was difficult to hold Jixian." Bao Zheng sighed.
Wang Cheng nodded, his face suddenly showed a worried color, and said, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”
"General Zhu died in battle, and his son Zhu Pengfei was also seriously injured and is still unconscious!" Bao Zheng said in a deep voice.
"General Zhu is dead?"
Wang Cheng suddenly felt that a big stone was pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.
The General Zhu, who personally brought him into the Western Army, is dead!
After a full calculation, he had been separated from Zhu Bangguo for less than 20 days, and he had written through letters not long ago, but when he heard the news again, he had already died in battle, and everything seemed to be yesterday.
He was saddened, and his violent aura could not be suppressed, and it erupted from his body like a volcano.
The black hair danced wildly, and the robe was cold, as if a giant beast had awakened from its slumber.
His five fingers clenched "creak", a pair of scarlet eyes looked at Bao Zheng, and said, "My lord, there will be a request at the end." ”
Bao Zheng stretched out his hand to interrupt his words and said, "You don't have to tell me, the king's edict is very clear, you are responsible for the entire southwest military affairs, don't you think that you are only responsible for the southwest county?" ”
Wang Cheng was stunned on the spot, and the violent aura emanating from his body also became dumb.
Seeing that Wang Cheng's eyes were a little dull, Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "The southwest is not the southwest county, the southwest of the Great Zhou is the southwest. ”
How can you understand that?
Wang Cheng was a little confused, according to what Bao Zheng said, wouldn't he be able to attack the cities near the Xia Kingdom?
Of course, this refers to the military friction on the border, not for him to lead the whole army to attack the Xia State, and it is the King of Zhou in the court who declares war on the outside world.
Bao Zheng patted Wang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "You kid can do whatever he wants, and you have your own old man to call the shots." But ......"
Wang Cheng was relieved, but the word "but" made him feel terrified.
Bao Zhengdao: "Don't leave me alone, I just need you to promise a little, it is to win!" Must win! ”
Wang Cheng gave a military salute and said, "The last general will not disappoint the adults!" ”
"Do it with confidence and boldness! Xia people don't pay attention to the rules, so we don't need to be polite to them and beat the old man hard! Hit them and beg for mercy! Fight until they destroy the country! ”
