Chapter 350: Faith Falls
On the way to retreat, Yuan Qi ordered the division of troops, Ma Yue and Pang De returned to Wudu with 50,000 Yan troops from Xiliang, while Yuan Qi took the other 70,000 horses through Guanzhong, and then turned back to Yanjing from Guanzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Qi did this because there was one thing that he needed to solve urgently. After Zhu Huan's death, Chang'an City was leaderless for a while, and it was easy to be attacked by Ugong Zhaolie, who retreated one step in advance, and Yuan Qi had to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to re-arm, until Yuan Xie sent a new lord to guard Chang'an, he could leave with confidence.
After saying goodbye to Ma Yue, Yuan Qi led his army on the road to Chang'an, and it was this decision that gave Yuan Qi an unexpected windfall.
Outside Hanzhong City, Zhang Wu greeted the rising sun, and rode out of Hanzhong City alone, he looked up at the direction, and was about to move southwest, along the road to return to CD and then from CD to Xiangyang, Mi Zhu's voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhang Wu: "Three generals go slowly!"
Zhang Wu turned his head, looked at Mi Zhu, and asked, "Where is Zizhong going?" Mi Zhu sat in a carriage, accompanied by more than 100 guards, and it seemed that Taishan sent him out on business. Mi Zhu stepped down from the carriage and answered Zhang Wu's question: "It's all to blame for that Unomiya Terulie, who emptied a good Hanzhong city, and now there is a shortage of materials in the city, so the lord ordered a certain person to quickly return to CD to transport a batch of supplies over." I want to go with the three generals, and I can take care of them on the road, but I don't know where the three generals are going?"
Zhang Wu had a dark face and said angrily: "I'm going to Xiangyang to change my second brother." Mi Zhu asked curiously: "Do you want to change General Guan? Why is this?" Because Mi Zhu is Taishan's brother-in-law, he helped Taishan a lot at the beginning, and really formed a force of his own for Taishan, so Zhang Wu usually respects Mi Zhu, which causes Mi Zhu not to be afraid of Zhang Wu like other civil officials.
Zhang Wu didn't say anything about the contradiction between him and Taishan, he didn't want people to know the rigid relationship between him and Taishan, but asked Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, you are the confidant of the eldest brother." Your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, do you know why Pang Junshi came back from the dead, and why he finally surrendered to the command of Yuan Qi's brother?" It is Zhang Wu's heart knot that he can't untie, if he can't get a definite answer, Zhang Wu's heart will never be able to let go, and he doesn't know how to get along with Taishan in the future, he doesn't want to believe that Taishan will be a treacherous person from the bottom of his heart, but Pang Tong's matter is in front of him, which makes Zhang Wu's heart very hesitant and eager to know the answer.
At the mention of Pang Tong, the smile on Mi Zhu's face froze. A scene from the past outside the city resurfaced in his mind. At that time, Taishan gave his Lu Baoma and Jin Jia to Pang Tong under false benevolence, and let Pang Tong ride his horse and wear his armor to sneak attack the city from the path, and after Pang Tong set off, Taishan secretly let himself reveal the news to Zhang Ren. It is said that Taishan will personally lead the army to attack the city from the path, induce Zhang Renzhongji, and take most of the troops in the city to the road to set up an ambush, if it were not for the timely arrival of Dian Wei under the command of Yuan Qi, I am afraid that Pang Tong would have died unjustly.
However, Mi Zhu really didn't dare to tell the truth, what to say. He is tantamount to calling Taishan a gentleman, but he is actually a villain's face to the public, and Taishan will definitely not spare him. So, Mi Zhu had no choice but to smile at Zhang Wu and said, "The three generals are the siblings of the lord, and they don't know about it. Ah, the three generals, so-and-so had to rush back to the CD as soon as possible, so he took the first step and took his leave. He said. Mi Zhu turned around and walked back to the carriage, urging the coachman and the accompanying guards to hurry up. He was afraid of being entangled by Zhang Wu, so he would get to the bottom of it, and never mention inviting Zhang Wu to go on the road with him, and he couldn't wait to disappear from Zhang Wu's sight immediately.
Although Zhang Wu has a reckless temperament, it is by no means a time when he is not careful, looking at Mi Zhu's embarrassed look, Zhang Wu couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, urged him to step forward and stopped Mi Zhu's frame, and asked sharply: "Zizhong, do you have the intention to hide it?"
Mi Zhu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the three generals must not think about it, I really don't know." The more flustered Mi Zhu became, the more Zhang Wu was convinced of the conjecture in his heart. Zhang Wu raised the Zhangba Snake Spear and pointed at Mi Zhu's throat in the air, and shouted: "If you don't tell the truth today, I will stab you out of a transparent hole with a spear!"
Zhang Wu's recklessness is well known, Mi Zhu felt a layer of cold sweat immediately oozing from his back under the sharp Zhangba snake spear, for fear that Zhang Wu's hand would shake, and the snake spear would stab down on his body, and hurriedly argued: "Three generals! ”
"Then do you say it? I count to three, if you don't say it, don't blame me for not thinking about the old feelings!" Zhang Wu didn't give an inch, and asked Mi Zhu in a tough tone, after all, this matter is too important for Zhang Wu, because it involves the image of Taishan in Zhang Wu's mind.
"One!"
"Three generals, you ......"
"Two!"
"I really don't know......"
"Three!"
The spear moved with the sound, Zhang Wu's wrist twisted, and the Zhangba snake spear stabbed Mi Zhu's throat fiercely. Mi Zhu watched the snake spear stab at his throat rapidly, knowing that Zhang Wu was determined to ask the reason, and quickly calculated in his heart, Mi Zhu felt that if he was killed by Zhang Wu like this, it would be too wrong, although Mi Zhu was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he would never want to die like this; if he told Zhang Wu what happened, with the brotherhood between Taishan and Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu would definitely not tell others about it, as long as he didn't let Taishan know, he shouldn't be in any danger.
After thinking about it, Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted: "Say so!" The Zhangba Snake Spear stopped less than an inch away from Mi Zhu's throat, Mi Zhu could already clearly feel the coldness on the Zhangba Snake Spear, if he opened his mouth even in the blink of an eye, maybe Zhang Wu would really pierce his throat with a spear.
Raising his hand to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, Mi Zhu said to Zhang Wu: "Three generals, this matter comes from Mi Zhu's mouth and enters the ears of the three generals, don't let others know, please ask the three generals to come to the carriage, Mi Zhu said that the three generals know." ”
Mi Zhu's words made Zhang Wu's heart tremble, he already had a premonition of ominousness, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted. stepped onto Mi Zhu's carriage, entered the carriage with Mi Zhu, and talked in a whisper. Mi Zhu pretended to give Taishan a horse and armor to Pang Tongdian, and then let himself secretly report to Zhang Ren, the guard of the city. induced Zhang Ren to ambush Pang Tong, but let Taishan take the opportunity to seize the city and tell it again.
Zhang Wu was also present at that time, but he never understood Taishan's intentions, and now he got Mi Zhu's explanation, Zhang Wu wondered, it turned out that Taishan did this deliberately, and there were two purposes, one was to successfully take the city, and the other was to let Pang Tong die in the hands of Zhang Ren. Tarzan's first purpose. Zhang Wu can understand, but the second purpose, Zhang Wu can't understand it anyway, Taishan's behavior is in Zhang Wu's eyes. It is a typical grace general revenge, people Pang Tong tried his best to create a territory for his three brothers, but the eldest brother Taishan chose to sacrifice Pang Tong, this is not a grace will revenge What is it? How can this be something that the eldest brother can do?
"Impossible, this is impossible, I don't believe that my eldest brother will do this, I don't believe it!" Zhang Wu was shocked by Mi Zhu's narration. It was just impossible and unbelievable to turn over and over in his mouth, he couldn't accept that his eldest brother Taishan, who had always been respected by him, would do such a thing.
Mi Zhu sighed and comforted Zhang Wu: "Three generals, this is politics. Politics is the most ruthless, ruthless and cruel game in the world, when Pang Tong was under the command of the lord, he never left the lord's side day and night, he already knew many of the lord's habits, and many of the lord's methods. He also saw it clearly, when the overall situation of Yizhou was decided, the lord would definitely not let Pang Tong follow him anymore, because Pang Tong was too casual to the lord, the monarch and the minister were different, and the lord had already killed him. ”
"Why is this happening? How did the eldest brother become so ruthless? Ah......hhh
"Three generals!" Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted to Zhang Wu, wanting Zhang Wu to calm down, but unfortunately, his voice did not stop Zhang Wu who looked like crazy, and finally had to let Zhang Wu leave, Mi Zhu felt that Zhang Wu would definitely return to Taishan after some venting, after all, there was nearly twenty years of brotherhood between them, and nothing could not be said. However, Mi Zhu guessed wrong this time, he didn't expect that this would be the last time he and Zhang Wu would meet.
Zhang Wu's mind was in a mess, for a person like him with an upright and reckless temperament, what Taishan did was beyond the scope of what he could bear, Taishan's tall and majestic image in his mind collapsed instantly, just like a high-rise building built by Zhang Wu himself with twenty years of work, it was destroyed in the blink of an eye, that kind of heartache, Zhang Wu can't describe it in words, he only felt that his heart hurt, ten times more painful than last night's severe pain!
In the gallop of the war horse, Zhang Wu sat on the horse's back in a distracted manner, and was soon taken out of the distance of two miles by the war horse. Two miles away from Hanzhong City, there is a towering mountain, on weekdays, the residents of Hanzhong City, will go to this mountain to chop firewood, hunting, the fertile land at the foot of the mountain, is also a place for people to take care of and work hard.
Today, however, the people who came to this mountain stopped all their daily work and gathered in groups of three or five to look at the notices posted at the foot of the mountain, and those who were literate read aloud. These notices were specially ordered by Zhuge Liang to be posted when the Yan army retreated, and the content was mainly that Taishan regarded Pang Tong as an outcast, so that Taishan had a justifiable excuse to crusade against Yizhou and other insidious behaviors to be made public.
Zhuge Liang ordered people to copy 500 copies and scattered them around Hanzhong City, the purpose of which was to let the residents of Hanzhong recognize the true face of Mount Tai. Although he could not take Hanzhong this time, Zhuge Liang was unwilling to let Mount Tai occupy Hanzhong comfortably, this move was enough for Mount Tai to be anxious for a while, and it could also be used for the Yan army to attack Hanzhong in the future and find the famous credentials for the division.
Zhang Wu overheard the people reading the notice aloud, the content is basically the same as Pang Tong and Mi Zhu's narration, and it is more certain that Taishan has indeed done something that can be described as despicable and shameless, which makes Zhang Wu's heart more annoyed, and the pain in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, waving the whip on the belly of the war horse and beating it a few times, Zhang Wu is eager to leave this place, leaving these people and things that make him feel sad, it seems that only in this way will his heartache be alleviated.
