Jiangzhou, Yuzhang.
He Wuji's face was gloomy, and he tried hard to stay calm, but his slightly trembling hands still betrayed the current state of mind of the famous Beifu general. Even countless life-and-death situations had never made him so excited. Above the main hall
, so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly. It was a huge shock, speechless feeling, and even made people feel that the atmosphere was so oppressive that the heartbeat would stop.
Wang Hong's body was covered with scars. This young man from an aristocratic family, who had always been graceful and graceful, could only be described as embarrassed. Even the boot on one foot was missing, and he was standing in the lobby with his bare foot.
On the ground, feet full of mud, accompanied by the pungent smell of blood, sweat, and burnt corpses, penetrated into everyone's nose, but at this time, no one cared about it anymore.
He Wuji said calmly: "Prince Wang, where are your army, your people, and your Nankang? Just yesterday you sent a newspaper saying that everything was under your plan and control.
He said that he would just wait for the end of the market and follow the Liren merchant group into Lingnan to take Shixing. In order to cooperate with your plan, I ended the grain collection in advance and concentrated on following up, but you gave me
Come here?"
Wang Hong's eyes were sparkling with tears and he was biting his lip. The wounds on his body were bleeding slightly. The injuries and suffering he suffered this time were something that this young man from a wealthy family had never experienced since he was born.
But he still gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaoguan knows that as a county guard, the city is still there and the people are there, but the people will die if the city is lost. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, you can kill me now in Zhennan, but if I escape like this, I will
Tell you Zhennan what happened in Nankang, so that you and the whole Jiangzhou will not suffer the same tragedy as me!"
He Wuji gritted his teeth and said sternly: "You said that Zhu Chaoshi personally led the demon thieves to attack Nankang County. I don't believe it, and I don't believe it even if you beat him to death. Zhu Chaoshi is a direct disciple of Jinu, and both brothers are extremely loyal. These things
I have conquered the South and the North for many years and made countless meritorious deeds. The more than a thousand veterans of Beifu under my command are many of them who have experienced the battle of Jianyi. I am very familiar with them. They would rather die in battle than surrender, let alone take the demon with them.
Thieves are coming to attack us!"
Wang Hong sighed: "Knowing people but not knowing their hearts. I used to have the same idea as Zhennan and never doubted Zhu Chaoshi. But now that I think about it, this man turned out to be Huan Xuan's subordinate, not from Beifu. He surrendered to our army at that time
, he was just exhausted and forced to do it as a last resort. He said he wanted to hide the main force and hid an army of Beifu veterans deep in the mountains, but in the end he came with the demon thieves to attack our city. This is what I saw with my own eyes.
See, if he hadn’t been in front, how could the Nankang County city, which I had been running for more than a year, be so strong, be broken through so easily by him?”
Zhang Shao, who had been frowning, suddenly said: "Wang Hong, have you seen the troops led by Zhu Chaoshi? Are the veterans and generals like Tang Erniu here?"
Wang Hong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I was in the governor's house at the time and didn't see him attacking the city. It was the Sima Tang Shunzi in the city who reported it to me personally. At that time, the city gate had fallen, and the governor of the state had
Most of the army surrendered, but Tang Sima and dozens of veterans guarding the county governor's mansion fought to the death to help me break out of the siege. When I turned back to escape, I saw Zhu Chaoshi and Xu Daofu, the evil thieves.
Let's chase our troops together. When you said that, I remembered it, but I didn't seem to see the Beifu soldiers with him."
Yin Chan gritted his teeth: "It seems that those Beifu brothers did not rebel with Zhu Chaoshi. The man named Zhu just surrendered to the demon thief, and then used the excuse to mobilize the Beifu army and let the demon thief kill them. This thief is really
The heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Zhang Shao's face was solemn and he said: "The matter is not completely clear yet, so you can't just accuse good people casually. After all, Zhu Chaoshi's brother Zhu Lingshi is now accompanying the commander in the Northern Expedition, and he is still the commander of the First Army. If it is really Zhu Chaoshi
If Zhu Lingshi is planning to rebel and commit rebellion, there must be something wrong with Zhu Lingshi, and the commander-in-chief will be in great danger. It is best to investigate this matter clearly. First, inform the commander-in-chief of what happened and let him make preparations in advance, but do not talk lightly about Zhu Chaoshi.
It means betraying and surrendering to the enemy."
He Wuji sighed: "Wang Hong, you said that you and Zhu Chaoshi have been operating in Nankang for so long and claim to know all the enemy's movements. How could it be like this? Let me ask you now, the enemy is Xu Daofu
I personally lead the troops, how many troops are there, and where is Lu Xun?"
Wang Hong sighed: "At that time, there was a war and chaos. The city was full of monsters and thieves. Fires broke out everywhere, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth. Not only did they have the Wuyue accent of the old thieves in Wu, but there was also a lot of Lingnan slang and Dong.
It sounds like they are divided into many tribes, and they are not completely similar. Although I am not too familiar with this, I know a little bit. The number of thieves attacking Nankang this time should be no less than three thousand. In addition to the demon thieves,
There are also many barbarians participating!”
He Wuji's expression softened slightly: "Three thousand demon thieves, more than half of the Dong people, that's it. This shows that the only attacking force was Xu Daofu's Shixing troops. In order to confuse our reconnaissance, he sent most of them
The troops are scattered among the Li Dong tribe, and they only lead a surprise attack with more than a thousand personal soldiers. Regardless of whether Zhu Chaoshi rebels or not, it is impossible to provide him with large-scale military support."
"As for those Dong people, they should be those traders who came to do business. They should also be spies sent by Xu Daofu. They took advantage of the chaos and launched a joint attack, hoping to create chaos and make us misjudge their military strength. The Art of War says
, Show what you can't do when you can, show what you can do when you can't. The more Xu Daofu bluffs and creates the illusion of three thousand men, the more it means that his real troops are less than three thousand, maybe even less than two thousand. Because if he really
There are three to five thousand men and horses. They must have stopped their troops and raided here as quickly as possible. Wang Nankang, I am afraid that your escape was because he deliberately let you back!"
Zhang Shao nodded and said: "Yes, Wang Hong is a civil servant after all. He is not good at martial arts. He can only barely know how to ride a horse. Riding and martial arts are not comparable. Although Tang Sima and others fought desperately to stop him, it is said that
It is impossible to stop the pursuit of a tough bandit like Xu Daofu. Being able to escape can only mean that the monster bandit deliberately let you back. What we need is to explain to us the things you saw. From this inference, Zhu Chaoshi may not have rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
, but was captured by the demon thieves in a surprise attack. As for the methods used, I don’t know. Thinking about it, it is nothing more than poisoning, assassination, ambushes, and sneak attacks. These are shameful tricks, which are what the demon thieves are best at."
