Chapter five hundred and fiftieth eighth
Wang Gui's acting skills seemed to come naturally. When he first met Feng Yugang in Anxi, the two of them went to brothels side by side. They are the same type of people. They have all the problems of men, and their acting skills are also extraordinary.
Wang Gui has no other specialties, he is just a little guy who can be clever.
But he has a strong and determined heart. He knows what he wants and is willing to do what he wants. The open-mindedness of a small person is something that many high-ranking dignitaries cannot match in their lifetime.
Today's scene was perfect. Under the arrangements of Gu Qing and Wang Gui, they created a scene in which Tongguan fell and the defeated army was chased by the Anxi army. The scene was very realistic. The Anxi army chased them from behind at the right time. Luoyang Tower
None of the defenders on the mountain had any doubts, because there was nothing to be suspicious about, and everything was happening before their eyes.
The sound of horse hooves from behind was getting closer and closer, and Wang Gui's expression became more and more anxious. His red eyes were shining with despair. He pointed at the young general on the city gate and shouted angrily: "You bastard, think clearly, don't open the city gate again."
, I will surrender the Tang army and see if your superior will chop off your head!"
The young general on the city tower was also anxious. He had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Although the group below the city could not prove their identity and exuded a sense of weirdness, it was a fact that the Anxi Army was chasing them from behind. If they really turned a blind eye
Seeing that Pao Ze at the foot of the city was killed by the Anxi army, I'm afraid he will really be held responsible.
"You, wait, I'll ask the superior officer first..." the young general stammered.
Wang Gui said angrily: "What a silly question! If you ask again, just collect the bodies for us. They have already been killed!"
The young general immediately panicked, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let go of the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"
The suspension bridge creaked and lowered, the city gate opened a little, and Wang Gui led more than two thousand remaining soldiers into the city quickly.
Entering the city gate corridor, a mysterious smile appeared on Wang Gui's lips.
Shen Tian, who was dressed as a personal guard next to him, patted him and said in a low voice: "Don't get too proud too early, because someone will question us about our origins later."
Wang Gui said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. My father-in-law gave me a list of all the generals of the Tongguan garrison. I have already memorized it, so I can't do anything wrong."
Shen Tian added: "Delay for about an hour. When the 20,000 soldiers and horses of General Chang and General Qu arrive, we will start to seize the city gate."
"yes."
Shen Tian suddenly smiled: "If you win this battle, I will definitely give you a reward. Your boy has enough to marry eight concubines. Just wait and enjoy the blessings."
Wang Gui grinned and said, "That's not called enjoying happiness, that's called taking your life. This little guy's body can't bear it."
Wang Gui winked at Shen Tian with a rippling look on his face, and said with a smile: "General Shen should know that whether the mother-in-law or the concubine at home is a little less charming than the women outside, men, in the end,
The happy thing is to eat wild food, and home-cooked food is not as good as eating fishy food."
Shen Tian understood this and showed a wistful smile.
After walking out of the city gate corridor, thousands of rebels blocked them at the entrance of the corridor, holding their halberds nervously on guard. Wang Gui puffed up his chest and said fiercely: "What do you mean? You want to take us? Or are you afraid that we are a trick of the Tang army, and we should cooperate inside and outside?"
Rob your city gate?"

A general rode up to Wang Gui. He looked him up and down and said, "Who are you? I once served under Marshal Anjie and I have never heard of a captain named Wang Gui."
General Wei Pian, I know most of the brothers in the Zhongzi Camp, but I have never heard of someone like you."
Wang Gui sneered: "How long ago did you serve under Marshal Anjie? Since our volunteer army entered Guanzhong, it suffered heavy losses at the hands of Gu Qing's Anxi Army. General Shi also mobilized many troops from Pinglu.
Guanzhong, do you know about this?"
General Pian nodded hesitantly.
Wang Gui snorted coldly: "I was transferred from Pinglu in the early spring of this year. I was originally a captain of Yingcheng under General Shi. Later, I was ordered to be transferred to General Anjie to guard Tongguan. If you want to find out my details, just send me
I'll go to Chang'an and ask for details. I don't have time to chat with you. I'll have someone get some hot food and water for my brothers right away. In addition, we need to replenish weapons. Tongguan fell and many people lost their weapons."
Seeing Wang Gui's confident appearance, the general couldn't help but believe it. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Is Tongguan really lost?"
Wang Gui showed a bitter look and sighed: "The Anxi Army mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses and marched to Tongguan. After several strong attacks, our Tongguan defenders finally failed to hold on. Commander Anjie was protected by his personal guards and fled to Chang'an. We are waiting
In the chaos, we panicked and had no choice but to flee in the direction of Luoyang. The Anxi Army has been chasing us. There were originally more than 5,000 troops, but now there are only more than 2,000 left."
The general changed his color and said: "If Tongguan is lost, wouldn't the Anxi Army's next step be..."
Wang Gui sighed: "The next step is of course Chang'an, maybe Luoyang. Gu Qing's tactics are unpredictable. Who knows which one he will fight first. We will eventually have to fight with them again."
Everyone was silent. Most of the people present were ordinary soldiers. Whether it was the imperial court or the rebels, most of them had no special love or hatred. When the generals gave the order, they followed and rebelled in confusion.
Wang Gui showed an impatient look and said: "Modo said, hurry up and get some hot food for the brothers. We have been running away all the way. The brothers are starving."
The general hesitated for a moment and said, "I will send someone to deliver hot food, but I still need to report your identity to General Niu for verification."
Wang Gui nodded indifferently and urged his soldiers to dismount, take off their armor, and rest where they were.
Before setting off, Wang Gui already knew that the guard general who stayed in Luoyang was named Niu Tingjie. He was an important general under An Lushan and had a close relationship with Shi Siming and An Qingxu. Otherwise, he would not have given him the responsibility of guarding the eastern capital of Luoyang.
Seeing Wang Gui and his more than two thousand soldiers sitting down to rest, the thousands of rebels surrounding them also relaxed their vigilance. Wang Gui's performance was too realistic. Although his identity has not been confirmed at this moment, the rebel soldiers
Most of them already believed that they were really Paoze who had escaped from Tongguan, so they were not too vigilant.
There were still Anxi Army pursuers wandering around outside the city relentlessly. All the city gates in Luoyang had been sealed. Wang Gui was sitting in front of the city gate corridor, lazily looking like a typical soldier.
Shen Tian, who was next to him, chuckled and lowered his voice: "No wonder the father-in-law values you so much. You really act like a kid. I almost believed you were from the rebel side..."
A nervous look flashed in Wang Gui's eyes, and he said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense about rebels. We are now called 'Righteous Teachers'."
Shen Tian glanced at him and said: "I won't believe what you say in the future. You are so good at deceiving people. You tell lies as soon as you open your mouth. 70% lies mixed with 30% truth, which makes people not believe it. It’s all difficult.”
Wang Gui sighed: "Whether you believe it or not, I used to be a really honest person. The errands ordered by my father-in-law forced me to learn to talk nonsense. What I said in the camp has not deceived anyone."
Shen Tian sneered: "If I believe you, I will definitely lose all my money by playing tricks with you in the camp, so save it."
As they were talking, the general who had left just now came back, came to Wang Gui, glanced at him, and said: "General Niu said he would summon you personally to ask about the situation of the fall of Tongguan. You come with me."
Wang Gui yawned, stood up lazily, and said: "I should thank General Niu for saving my life..."
The general took the lead and walked in front. After walking a few steps, the general asked inadvertently: "By the way, you are the captain of the Zhongzi camp. I have a fellow countryman named Liu Zhuang who joined the army three years ago." Zhongziying, is he okay?"
Wang Gui blinked a few times quickly and suddenly smiled: "You still don't believe me at this time. There is no one named Liu Zhuang in Zhongzi Camp. Don't lie to me."
The general suddenly stood still, turned around and stared at him, his eyes turned cold for a moment, and he slowly said word by word: "There really is a man named Liu Zhuang in Zhongzi Camp. He is the brigade commander of Zhongzi Camp. If you don't even know him, , do you dare to say that you are from the Zhongzi Camp?"
Without warning, the general suddenly drew his sword, pointed it at Wang Gui, and said sternly: "General Niu has seen that something is wrong with you! Who are you? Come on, surround me!"
…………
The camp allocates 10,000 troops, led by Chang Zhong, and marches to the direction of Luoyang. Together with Qu Huan's 10,000 Hexi troops, if we can cooperate internally and externally, 20,000 troops will be enough to capture Luoyang.
The main force of the Anxi Army is still stationed outside Shangzhou City, waiting for news from Luoyang.
Gu Qing stayed in the commander's tent all day, staring at the sand table with a solemn expression, carefully reviewing his strategies and tactics over and over again, examining himself to see if there were any huge loopholes.
Han Jie's voice came from outside the handsome tent, and his voice was a little hesitant.
"My lord, there are people coming from Shu..."
Gu Qing was stunned and said: "Who is coming?"
"It is said that he was sent by the Duke's wife and holds a letter written by her..."
Gu Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Did you get a letter from Zhang Huaiyu? Who did she send to the camp?"
"Well, there are more than a hundred people, and all of them have ferocious faces, and they don't look like kind people..."
Gu Qing smiled and scolded: "You are not a kind person. No one in our entire camp is a kind person. Call us in quickly."
An hour later, more than a hundred people stood in front of Gu Qing. Each person's appearance was different, but their expressions seemed to be printed from the same mold. They were all expressionless, with indifferent eyes. There is not a blade of grass growing there, and I don’t know what kind of inhuman training I have received.
Gu Qing stood in front of them with a strange expression, holding Zhang Huaiyu's autographed letter in his hand. He had read the content of the letter over and over again, but he was still a little shocked and unable to accept it for the moment.
"You...were Zhang Huaiyu sent to serve as my personal guards?" Gu Qing asked hesitantly.
One of the more than a hundred people, about thirty years old, stood up and bowed: "Reply to the master, we are not personal guards. Miss Zhang said, we are the master's soldiers, people who are destined to die for the master from birth." ."
Gu Qing flicked the letter in his hand and said: "In other words, I don't need any reason, even if I ask you to wipe your neck with a knife on the spot, you will do it without hesitation?"
