Chapter 705: A game within a game
All his guards died, leaving Wuliang Todo and Tang Zhan to face the lonely boat, tonight's originally calm river, but now it is becoming more and more rapid, as if it is secretly waiting for the next drama......
Tang Zhan killed all of Uliang Todo's guards and re-established the pear flower spear beside him, while Uliang Todo did not come back to his senses in panic, allowing the blood of the guard's corpse to stain the bow of the ship red and seep to the soles of his feet, but he was stunned and did not react......
Finally, in the scene of slaughter, a voice broke the peace......
"You ......" Wuliang Tuoduo's frightened eyes didn't know how to speak, and he looked at Tang Zhan with trembling eyes, no matter what the result was, he remembered the other party tonight.
Tang Zhan still stared at the other party, and said coldly: "The two armies are fighting, and they don't come to the envoys, but according to what was said in the letter, the only envoys from the two armies are you and me...... Today, General Wuliang breached the contract and brought his soldiers to come, and forced him with a sharp blade, Tang had no choice but to fight back and take his life......"
"Then what do you want to do now?" Wuliang Tuoduo also knew very well in his heart that he had killed Zhao Zijin, not to mention Zhao Zichuan himself, even the soldiers in the vanguard army wanted to break their bodies into thousands of pieces, not to mention that Tang Zhan had just said clearly in front of him, "I came to avenge Zhao Zichuan's murder of my brother." Life and death are unpredictable, and there is a little more horror in Wuliang Todo's eyes.
Tang Zhan smiled slightly, and with the light breeze of a gust of river breeze, he stared at Dingyan and said, "You killed Brother Zijin, it stands to reason that I should put you on the spot...... But tonight's meeting is a meeting of messengers, and I don't want to kill you out of morality, and if I want to get rid of you, I have to be on the battlefield—"
Wuliang Tuoduo listened, but instead sneered: "Morality? Hmph, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Tang family who came out of the rivers and lakes, and he does not lose his morality in dealing with the world...... However, when the two armies are fighting, the soldiers are treacherous, and if you believe in morality too much, you will regret your mistakes, and this should not be the taboo of a general......"
"You're wrong-" However, before Wuliang Todo finished speaking, Tang Zhan confidently said, "It's true that it's like a soldier's sophistry, but he has always been a cunning and incompetent person, and he will play conspiracy tactics in the military...... I don't need to, and I don't need to deal with mediocre people like you!
"What did you say?" Hearing Tang Zhan's contempt for his incompetence again, Wuliang Tuoduo couldn't help but feel angry for a while.
Tang Zhan set up the ferry, made a look of preparing to turn back, and then turned his back and said coldly: "Tang has seen your personality clearly tonight, and your army is just like that...... Go back, I'm glad I won't kill you tonight, but when I get to the battlefield tomorrow, I won't show mercy to my subordinates, I will cut off your head with my own hands, and the blood sacrifice Brother Zijin is in the spirit of the sky-" The last sentence is very heavy, it seems that from the heart, Tang Zhan also hates Wuliang Tuoduo to the core.
In Wuliang Todo's ears, Tang Zhan's words were full of intimidation, even if Tang Zhan turned around after speaking, Wuliang Todo still looked panicked. And Wuliang Todo didn't say anything more, just quietly watched Tang Zhan's rowing back leave......
Leaving alone Uliang Todo and a boat full of corpses, Uliang Todo kept his eyes on the front, looking at the gurgling river, until he could no longer see Tang Zhan's back, and Wu Liang Todo withdrew his frightened face......
However...... Recovering his cold-blooded expression, Wuliang Tuoduo suddenly smiled coldly, as if the panicked scene just now had not happened at all......
"Hmph, hum, hum......" A chilling sneer suddenly appeared under the night, and Uliang Todo completely changed his expression, and he couldn't see that he had been hit, and this expression was obviously not deliberately pretended, only to hear Uliang Todo muttering to himself and said coldly, "Hmph, poor descendants of the Tang family, this is the bane of your deep belief in morality from the rivers and lakes, just now I pretended to be scared in front of you, I didn't expect you, the general of the first army, to be deceived by this general so easily......"
The words were really shocking, and they didn't get to the point where Wuliang Tuoduo was scared in front of Tang Zhan just now, all of them were pretended.
"If you don't kill me tonight, you will miss the best opportunity, of course, I have long expected that you will not kill me because of the emphasis on morality......," Ura Todo continued to talk to himself and laughed, "Have you not heard that when two armies fight, the one who takes the initiative has the advantage? As the general of the first army, you did not realize that the matter of my letter inviting you to meet on the river was all in my calculations - every move was controlled by me, and you were stupid to really come to meet me on the river and follow my steps...... I, Wuliang Tuoduo, have a purpose in it, first, to witness your true face and understand your actions, and second, to understand Zhao Zichuan's movements, and now I am sure that I am no longer in the army...... I have achieved both of these goals, but you have come to meet me on the river without even having a purpose. Acting without a purpose is a waste of military aircraft, and the person who really violates the taboo of the soldiers, but you Tang Zhan, hahahaha......"
After a long laugh, Uliang Todo ignored the corpses of his subordinates, and rowed his oars alone and returned to the water camp. However, it is certain that there will be more tricks when Uliang Todo returns to the camp this time......
Pioneer Army Water Camp ......
The officers and men in the army all knew the whereabouts of Tang Zhan's single-handedly going to the meeting, but everyone was not worried, because they believed in General Tang Zhan's skills and courage, and dared to go to the appointment alone, they must be prepared and would not do things that were uncertain and risky. But there was only one exception, that was Su Jia, who was worried about tonight, he wasn't worried about any danger Tang Zhan himself, she just felt that Wu Liang Tuoduo had tricks in his heart, and he should not take it lightly......
But now Su Jia doesn't seem to be thinking about Tang Zhan, Xiao Tian drank too much wine tonight, and even after talking to him on the boat, he went back to the camp to drink a few pots with Hu Yidi, this time he was completely drunk. The loss is that there is a celebration banquet for winning the battle, otherwise who would dare to get drunk on weekdays on weekdays?
Xiao Tian was drunk, Su Jiake was tired, Xiao Tian fell to the ground drunk and unconscious, and had to let Su Jia drag him back to the cabin.
Su Jia dragged Xiao Tian to the bed, looking at Xiao Tianwu's ugly sleeping appearance, Su Jia stood up, crossed her waist with her hands, and frowned angrily: "Hey, you guy is really troublesome, drunk people drag people back...... What do I say, in addition to what you big men will say, we women have to clean up everything for you, and this time you don't even let go of drinking and getting drunk, and let me get drunk...... I'm annoyed, I'm so annoying, you're like this, the ghost is willing to be your housekeeper......"
"Jia'er ......" Who knows, while Su Jia is complaining, Xiao Tian, who is drunk, is smiling and confused, but his eyes are not open, as if he is talking in a dream.
"What are you doing?" Su Jia thought it was Xiao Tian who called herself "busy with this and that" again, and responded angrily as usual.
But when Su Jia turned her head to look, it was Xiao Tian who was talking in her dreams with a smile on her face. Xiao Tian put on a drunken red face, still smiling in a daze, as if with a vision for the future: "Jia'er, when the battle is over, we will leave here...... I'll go with you to find your mother's whereabouts...... When we find your mother, we will return to Xiaojia Villa, and we will persuade my mother to let us be together no matter what...... Then our family finds a place where there is no quarrel with the world, regardless of the hustle and bustle of the troubled times, regardless of the 'Jianghu Bo', and live happily for the rest of our lives......"
After listening to Xiao Tian's "dream talk", Su Jia, who was still angry just now, suddenly withdrew her expression, and was replaced by the emotion and confusion in her eyes. Although Xiao Tian said that it was a dream talk, but dream words are often the most essential and true thoughts of people, and hearing Xiao Tian's sincere outpouring, Su Jia not only felt a warmth in her heart.
"Ah Tian......" Su Jia's face flushed slightly, looked at Xiao Tian who was asleep in a dream, and said softly, "Thank you......"
After speaking, Su Jia changed her mood, looking at Xiao Tianwu's opening and closing, Su Jia smiled, lowered her body to help Xiao Tian's limbs be arranged, who was right, and then helped Xiao Tian gently cover the blanket.
It seems to be asleep, but looking at Xiao Tianhanhan's way of falling asleep, Su Jia seems to have a trace of bitter memories in her mind - she remembers very clearly that on the night she broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion in Bianliang, her shallow kiss on Xiao Tian's forehead became a warm picture that she will never forget in her life.
"Jia'er, let's go back to Yixianmen......" Xiao Tian didn't know in his sleep that Su Jia was looking at him tenderly, and continued to murmur in his dreams, "You said that in the future, the An family wants to find an elegant and quiet place like Yixianmen...... We're back, with Brother Huang Ji and Sister Ying...... We will settle down here, and when the child is born in the future, we will also play with the children of the Huang Ji brothers and Yingmei......"
When it came to the child's matter, Su Jia blushed even more. I don't know where the impulse came from, Su Jia looked at Xiao Tian's sleeping appearance, remembered the memory of Bianliang kissing goodbye, and Su Jia actually wanted to relive that warm scene again.
After thinking about it, Su Jia's face flushed, she lowered her body and leaned down gently, closed her eyes and kissed Xiao Tian lightly on the forehead. Like that night, it was shallow, but meaningful......
Standing up from the side of the bed again, Su Jia didn't dare to imagine that she would be so bold in front of love, her cheeks were even more blushing, and she looked at Xiao Tian for a long time without saying a word.
And Xiao Tian also seemed to sense the warmth coming from his forehead, and gently wiped it on his forehead with his hand in his sleep.
"Ah Tian......" Su Jia felt that Xiao Tian felt it in his dream, and looked at Xiao Tian with tenderness.
Who knows, the next sentence ...... "Sister Ying, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have adopted so many cats and dogs as usual......" Xiao Tian wiped his forehead and said with a smile, "Hehe, your puppy is so naughty, he actually jumped up and kissed my forehead......"
As soon as these words came out, Su Jia's whole person "exploded", and the warmth full of love just now suddenly seemed to fall into a cold abyss......
"you, don't sleep if you don't want to!-" Su Jia was completely angry, and overturned the blanket covering Xiao Tian with a red face, but this time the red face was not shy, but angry.
"Hmm...... Huh?" was blown up by Su Jia's anger, Xiao Tian's head shook, and he was woken up unconsciously.
Su Jia didn't want to care about it, she turned her head angrily and left, all her kindness turned into "bubbles", she was really angry when she thought about it, and she couldn't wait to pull out a knife and cut people immediately.
"What's the matter...... Xiao Tian still looked drunk, watching Su Jia leave angrily "inexplicably", Xiao Tian muttered in a daze, "Inexplicably angry...... Did I smash her disguised jar again......"
Xiao Tian never knew what had just happened......
After Su Jia left the cabin, he walked away angrily, but as soon as he reached the head of the deck, he found that Tang Zhan had just returned from the junction.
Finally, I have a serious way to forget about the unpleasant things I just had...... Su Jia retracted her expression, stepped forward, and asked Tang Zhan with concern: "Brother Tang Zhan, are you back...... How about meeting with Ura Todo tonight, there's nothing out of the ordinary, right?"
Tang Zhan had a relaxed expression on his face, and said without worry: "Hmph, don't worry, I've also seen Wuliang Toduo's skills, but that's it, a few tricks will scare him speechless......"
"How many moves and how many styles?" Su Jia listened, and asked anxiously, "What did you do when you went to the meeting alone tonight?"
Seeing that Su Jia was digging into the roots, Tang Zhan recounted what happened tonight one by one......
"What, and then you're leaving?" asked Su Jia as if sensing something, a little nervous.
"Wuliang Tuoduo plays tricks, I'll give him a little bit of Ma Wei, kill his subordinates, and it's not ......" Tang Zhan looked at Su Jia's nervous appearance, and calmed down with a smile, "Peace of mind, the current situation Wuliang Tuoduo is already a battle of trapped beasts, this Xiangyang City will be broken sooner or later, and he has nowhere to escape if we hold the Jiangkou, and it is only a matter of time to take his head...... After all, Uliang Todo is not a ghost or god, and he doesn't have the ability to fly, so don't think too much-"
"But this is still ......" Su Jia seemed to be worried about something, and still did not give in.
"Okay, we won the battle today, and the army needs to recuperate, and we will talk about it tomorrow...... if there is anything" Tang Zhan made a gesture of stopping, and said in front of Su Jia, "In short, the task of our army now is to encircle the navy in two ways, once Wuliang Tuoduo has the potential to break through, our army will snipe with all its might...... Early tomorrow morning, you and Brother Xiao will return to their positions with their troops, and once the incident happens, wait for my dispatch from our side......"
After speaking, Tang Zhan simply turned around directly, and Su Jia didn't even have a chance to reply.
"Hey......" Su Jia just wanted to stop, but he wasn't sure if his conjecture was accurate, and in case Tang Zhan had a plan that he had already set, his words might disrupt his arrangement, so Su Jia still stopped talking this time......
Tang Zhan left, and Su Jia remained alone on the deck...... However, Su Jia's heart was not calm, and turned her head to look at the enemy water camp across the river, Su Jia secretly said in her heart: "No, things are definitely not so simple...... Wuliang Todo is a descendant of the famous Mengyuan general Ashu, and has a feud with the ancestors of the Zichuan brothers. He is well versed in the art of war, and he will not know the truth that Xiangyang cannot be defended, but he is reluctant to evacuate, so he must have a reason to stay in Xiangyang and continue to hold on...... Yes, he didn't figure out something, so he didn't leave. I think the purpose of Wuliang Tuoduo was not to defend Xiangyang from the beginning, but to find the people of the Zhao family to settle grievances, so the reason why he didn't leave was to find out the whereabouts of the Zichuan brothers...... Tonight, he and Brother Tang Zhan were on the river for a while, and they used the method of agitation to ask the whereabouts of Brother Zichuan from Brother Tang Zhan's mouth, and got the purpose he wanted...... Now that the goal has been achieved, I think Wuliang Todo should have the next step, and he will act at dawn tomorrow at the earliest, and this is exactly what Brother Tang Zhan didn't pay attention to......
Su Jia thought very clearly, and almost broke Wuliang Todo's mind in one sentence. knew about Uliang Todo's tricks, but Su Jia still didn't know what kind of way Uliang Todo had to solve the current "crisis".
"Yes, even so, what can he do?" Su Jia continued to secretly say in his heart, "In this Jiangguan area, the land has the Qin Yu brothers ten thousand armies attacking the city, and the water has our army's crossing blocked, without the ability to fly, how can he escape from the besieged Xiangyang City, this is simply impossible...... No, you can't underestimate him, Wuliang Tuoduo is the person who killed the eldest brother Zijin with his own hands and passed the war book to our army's camp, since he dares to do this, his behavior will never be so simple...... But it doesn't seem like there's going to be much action tonight, anyway, I'm afraid everything will know tomorrow......"
Su Jia looked at the river under the dark night, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
