Chapter 174: Lian hesitates to go his own way
"Report, Wang Si and Ling Zhan can't be found in the city, and ......" A soldier ran to Dong Qi, who had just come down from the city, thinking about whether to say the following words.
Dong Qi's eyebrows raised.
"What else?"
"The villain searched the Taishou Mansion, but they didn't find Miss Wei Qing'er, they only caught a little girl, can General Dong Qi interrogate him personally?"
"Bring it here." Dong Qi's face showed an anxious look, "Miss Qing'er is the hero personally designated by His Majesty to bring back, if there is a mistake, this general will not be able to explain it to His Majesty." ”
The soldiers departed.
Not long after, the little girl who was in charge of serving Wei Qing'er was brought to Dong Qi.
Where has the little girl ever seen such a formation, the warrior in front of her is tall and mighty, the armor on her body flashes blood-colored light in the sun, and the long sword in her hand is still congealed with blood.
Without waiting for Dong Qi to speak, the little girl was already so frightened that her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground.
"Generals, generals spare their lives, slaves and slaves are just a subordinate of the Taishou Mansion, and they don't know anything about Wang Si and General Ling Zhan."
Dong Qi took a step forward.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Miss Qing'er?"
The little girl was slightly stunned, thinking to herself, but it turned out that this person was also here to find Miss Qing'er.
"Miss Qing'er has been secretly taken out of the city by General Wang Si before the people outside the city attacked the city, and as for where she went, the slave maid really didn't know, and she didn't dare to inquire." The little girl replied.
Dong Qi couldn't see any signs of lying on the little girl's face, so he nodded.
"Wang Si is still a little scheming, he knows that Wujun is difficult to protect, and he has prepared to escape in advance." Dong Qi sneered, "It's just that Miss Qing'er was taken away by her, how can General Ben reply to Your Majesty when she goes back?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Dong Qi waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates to take the little girl down first, and he planned to go to the Taishou Mansion to take a look in person.
"Report." A warrior Pegasus came to Dong Qi's side, "The Jiang Nan men and horses outside the city have retreated, but they unexpectedly encountered the ambush of the captain less than twenty miles away from here, and most of the men and horses have been lost, and they have now retreated to a mountain pass. Please General Dong Qi to show me, do we also want to attack and exterminate it in one fell swoop? ”
Dong Qi shook his head.
"Che Wei and Jiang Nan are both Cao Wei's people, and we are just waiting for us to reap the benefits of this fight. The order went down, the three armies repaired, and they could not leave the city without an order. ”
"Subordinates obey orders." Samurai Pegasus leaves.
After a day:
Lian led the men to Wushi.
"General Dong Qi is worthy of His Majesty's favorite general, and he has taken this city overnight, but it is a pity for Wang Si and Ling Zhan to escape." As soon as Lian Ji met, he said to Dong Qi.
Dong Qi smiled bitterly.
"General Lian is Your Majesty's confidant, and the last general only acted according to His Majesty's orders to get this city by luck."
Lian hesitated and laughed.
At this time, someone came to report that Che Wei and Jiang Nan's men and horses had been fighting fiercely for more than a day, but they were still in a state of anxiety.
"Jiang Nan guarded the mountain pass, and the captain's men and horses could not attack it repeatedly. The lieutenant was furious, and had once again dispatched thousands of men and horses from Shangyong City to rush to reinforcements. All the generals thought that this was a good opportunity to conquer the mediocrity, but I don't know if General Dong Qi could be interested in this? A samurai asked.
"And such a good thing?" Lian hesitated not to wait for Dong Qi to speak, and had already preemptively said, "Since Shangyong City is empty, we will just take it." ”
"No." Dong Qi stopped, "Your Majesty didn't ask us to wait for the army to be superior, General Ben is only here for Tuna Wang Si and Ling Zhan, and General Lian Zheng only needs to ensure that Wujun is not lost, and without a holy decree, you can't move lightly." ”
Lian Qi seemed to look at Dong Qi with some surprise.
"General Ben thought that General Dong Qi must be a brave and resourceful general who captured Wujun so quickly, but it turned out to be an indecisive person, the general is fighting abroad, if everything has to wait for His Majesty's holy decree, won't he repeatedly miss the opportunity and empty His Majesty's trust?"
Dong Qi hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's not that the last general will not dare to go to war, His Majesty wrote to the last general to return to Beijing immediately after capturing Wujun, and leave General Lian to guard here. The last general thought that His Majesty's arrangement must have another strange plan, and it may be related to His Majesty's preparation for the Northern Expedition. If General Lian sent troops privately, had a grudge with the captain, and feared that the captain would return to the army, even this Wu County would be difficult to defend. ”
"Nonsense!" Lian hesitated and scolded loudly.
The generals are a little overshadowed.
Lian Ji is Liu Yong's former brother-in-law, even now, the two of them are still called brothers, almost everyone knows this, not to mention Dong Qi, even Liu Yong, for some of his outrageous behavior, he just smiled helplessly.
Although Dong Qi has already worshiped General Zhennan, and his official position is much higher than that of Lian Zhen, he can only smile awkwardly in the face of his foul language.
"Since Your Majesty has personally sent General Ben to garrison here, all the horses in the city will be transferred by General Ben." Lian Yu continued, "Since General Dong Qi is so timid that he doesn't dare to fight, General Ben will lead his men out of the city by himself. If His Majesty is to blame in the future, the general will bear it himself. ”
Dong Qi was angry and hateful.
"The captain is treacherous, there will be ambushes around Shangyong, and if the general goes, it may be difficult to win."
"The captain has already transferred a lot of people from Shangyong City, how can he ambush the troops?" Where can Lian hesitate to listen, and drew out the long sword under his ribs, "The generals listen, leave two thousand men and horses to defend Wujun, and the rest of the men and horses will go out of the city with this general." To conquer Shangyong City, General Ben celebrated the achievements of the generals in the Taishou Mansion. ”
Several samurai who had followed Lian agreed to run out.
The warriors who followed Dong Qi didn't move, just looked at Dong Qi.
Lian hesitated with a swing of his sword and slashed off a corner of the table in front of him.
"If you dare to delay the fighter, do you doubt that General Ben's sword is not good?"
Dong Qi's face was pale.
"General Lian is bent on going his own way, and General Ben will not stop him, but you bring your own people to go, and General Ben will immediately take people back to Beijing to reply to the order, and I will not accompany you." Dong Qi said, walking out quickly.
The warriors immediately followed Dong Qi and left.
Lian Zhen looked at the backs of Dong Qi and the others, and gritted his teeth hatefully.
There was chaos in the city of Wujun, and Dong Qi's men and horses and Lian He's men and horses went out of the city through the two gates.
Wujun, which had just experienced the baptism of war, seemed to have not yet broken free from the bloody fighting, and was once again shrouded in a cloud of terror.
After Dong Qi's men and horses walked out for more than 20 miles, Dong Qi suddenly ordered to stop.
"General Dong Qi can't bear to send my Shu Han soldiers to death with Lian Xuan?" A warrior guessed Dong Qi's mind and asked.
Dong Qi nodded.
"Lian Zhen relied on His Majesty's favor and contempt General Dong Qi so much, why should the general be like this?" Samurai said.
"Lian Ji's life and death are small, if His Majesty's arrangement is disrupted because of this, General Ben will not be able to escape the blame." Dong Qi said, thinking about it, "You can quickly take a group of men and horses to bypass Wujun, follow behind Lian Zhen and others, if Lian Qiu successfully attacks Shangyong, you can bring your own men and horses back, if there is an ambush in Che Wei, you can take people to attack him and save Lian Zhen from danger." ”
"General Dong Qi is really generous, and the last general will obey the order." The samurai replied.
