Chapter 185: Conspiracy
"Oh?" Zhan Wenwu's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest: "Let's hear it." ”
"It was years ago. The previous Admiral Fan Wen was transferred out for some reason, it turned out that the position of the Admiral of the Water Village should be that Zhang Gui, he is the veteran of the Water Village, and he should be the one in terms of seniority, even Lu Ning has no strength to compete with him, and the top and bottom of the Water Village have given Zhang Gui a happy fare, ready to celebrate Zhang Gui. ”
"Zhang Gui is also full of confidence and is ready to be promoted to the next level, but who knows that within a few days, Wu Rong, the general of Wucheng, was sent to take over the position of admiral, which made Zhang Gui angry."
"Wu Rong doesn't know water warfare at all, and his cultivation realm is a cut below Zhang Gui, just because he is the descendant of General Shangguan, so he was sent to be the commander. Moreover, this person has always been flattering, scheming, and good at playing tricks, and as soon as he came up, he won over Lu Ning to fight Zhang Gui, which made Shuizhai a miasma and the army's morale unstable. ”
"Take this salary again, this must also be a trick he made, and in the end, it was the brothers of Shuizhai who were unlucky."
"I'm afraid that Zhang Gui won't sit still."
"But it's not, deducting military salaries, disobeying orders, and there are many things that can't be done. The two had a quarrel, and in the end it was General Shangguan who came forward and approved both of them before they were able to settle down, if it weren't for the current war tension and relying on Zhang Gui's ability to govern the navy, it is estimated that General Shangguan would have replaced him long ago. ”
Zhan Wenwu nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the justice in the world is uneven, what he hopes to get is snatched by others, and the rightful position is occupied by others, and there will inevitably be resentment in his heart.
Coupled with the lack of ability of others but living on his own head, I am afraid that Zhang Gui is hostile to foreign countries and embarks on the road of no return because of this incident.
Zhan Wenwu asked some more questions, Lao Wang and others answered them one by one as best they knew, and as the sun set, Zhan Wenwu said: "Thank you for your hard work, I know everything you should know, I will have a treat in the evening, and everyone will get together." ”
"Master Zhan, it should be our treat, you give us such a big gift, I really don't want to go." Wang Shun said, and then immediately asked several other people to prepare separately.
After a while, pheasants, wild vegetables and yellow steamed buns were brought up, and a veteran next to him took out a small jar of wine from the firewood and grass pile in the corner and put it on the table, and everyone sat together, talking and laughing.
Although some pheasants are not chewable, the vegetables do not taste too salty, and the wine is not a good wine, and it is not enough for one person to drink happily, but the atmosphere of everyone sharing unrestrained makes people forget that they are in a state of war at the moment, and forget their sorrows and troubles.
After eating, Wang Shun asked Zhan Wenwu to clean up a separate hut and spread fresh firewood and grass on the ground.
Wang Shun said embarrassedly: "Zhan Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed, the conditions in the barracks are difficult, we are all sleeping in clothes, sleeping in firewood and grass sheds, this is a few of my changing clothes for you to lay a simple couch, and I hope you will get together for the night." ”
Zhan Wenwu said with a smile: "Brother Wang has a heart, it is enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, you take the clothes back, and I can sleep on the haystack." I didn't sleep on the haystack. ”
Wang Shun heard that Zhan Gongzi said that he didn't mind, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared, he didn't expect Zhan Gongzi to be so approachable, and they chatted happily at the dinner table just now.
He also knew that the delicacies in their eyes were estimated to be like asking for food in the eyes of other people's sons, but they didn't dislike it at all, and they persuaded us to eat more.
Now let people sleep in the firewood and grass shop, not only do they not have the slightest complaint, but they are also afraid that I will not go, saying that I have also slept in the haystack, so young and promising, approachable, and consider for others The children of the nobility are really too few and too few.
Wang Shun happily came out of Zhan Wenwu's house and went back to sleep, but Zhan Wenwu meditated and practiced until the third watch, changed into black clothes, and disappeared in an instant.
A dark shadow appeared in the air to the west of the barracks, and he looked in the direction and went straight to the water village thirty miles to the west.
In the military camp tent in the thirty-mile water village, the deputy admiral Zhang Guiduan sat in the position of the main general, and the chief soldier Zhang Zhen, the deputy chief soldier Zheng Jingye, and Cao Tianrui sat on both sides.
"Uncle, I think we should make a decision now and launch a mutiny tonight, otherwise the news of the failure of the sneak attack on Wucheng will reach the ears of Bai He and Shangguan Fei, and they will definitely thoroughly investigate the matter of the secret path, and then we will only have a dead end." Zhang Zhen said with a fist to Zhang Gui.
"Yes, the chief soldier is right, we are ready to fly, we have to send it, please give an order." Zheng Jingye said.
Cao Tianrui also reconsidered: "Lord Admiral, you give the order, we will not give up, kill Bai He and Shangguan Fei, and go out of the Gaoshan Country, with the support of the Luochuan Country, we can sit back and relax." ”
Zhang Gui, who was sitting in the position of the main general, looked a little sluggish, his hard face was calm, he closed his eyes at the moment and did not speak, Zhang Zhen and the others sat quietly and did not speak again, but stared at Zhang Gui directly, waiting for him to speak.
Suddenly, Zhang Guiyuan's eyes opened suddenly, and two cold rays of light shot out.
"Guest, since you're here, let's talk about it in the tent!"
A hearty laugh was heard from outside the tent, and then a man in black came in as soon as the curtain was lifted.
"It turned out to be General Ni, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to visit quietly late at night." Zhang Gui said coldly, with anger in his tone.
Zhang Gui didn't know how much Ni Yuan had listened to in the conversation just now, and he came to the army unknowingly late at night, there must be something very important.
"Admiral Zhang, I won't tell you, I heard your conversation just now, these little generals are right, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it."
Ni Yuan casually sat down next to Cao Tianrui with a big grin, and then said: "The attack on Wucheng failed, the news should have reached the ears of Bai He and Shangguan Fei, and they must have guessed that we were going straight to Wucheng by bypassing the water village through the secret passage. ”
"Although the location of the secret passage has not been leaked, the defenders of Wucheng will definitely search within a radius of twenty miles, and Admiral Zhang is afraid that he will not be able to escape at that time."
"The old man was confused for a while, helping you dig tunnels, and now every time I think of it, I will destroy the liver and sausage, since you didn't succeed, it must be the immortal Wucheng."
"If the old man captures you and sends you to General Shangguan Fei, and then asks for a death to atone for the sin, it will also relieve the old man's knot." Zhang Gui frowned.
When Ni Yuan heard this, he didn't panic at all, and said indifferently: "There is no turning back when you open the bow." Now that the matter has been done, Admiral Zhang does not need to be annoyed anymore, and now he can only look forward. ”
"Your court is full of miasma, the pillars and talented people are all marginalized, and the incompetent people are in high positions and pointing fingers. Not to mention the far, take Wu Rong as an example, he has no ability, he just worked as an errand in Shangguan Fei, and served Shangguan Fei very well, so he was directly promoted to the commander of the navy. ”
"Even if you are a veteran, the governance of the navy army can surpass him by a hundred times, but what is the use, it is not to look at Wu Rong's face and act. Where is it like my General Zhao, if you are thirsty for talent, after the success, Deputy Admiral Zhang must have removed the sub-word, and you are still the victorious general on the Luo River. ”
Zhang Gui was silent, his face gloomy and uncertain.
