When Tao Yinhe heard this, he sat up excitedly and quickly summoned Zhao Tang and Zhu Pei, as well as several deputy generals and supervisors.
After everyone was gathered, the soldier who came to report the news spoke quickly and detailed what he learned one by one.
Just as he finished speaking, another soldier came back from outside and said that their men were preparing to retreat, but the other party insisted on not letting go, and the body could only be temporarily pushed down the cliff on the east side of Shuangpo Gorge, making it difficult to bring it back.
One of the deceased was Chen Lifu, a close confidant of Zhao Tang.
Zhao Tang looked pale and furious, and immediately ordered his guards to mobilize their troops and prepare to go to Shuangpo Gorge to meet the soldiers and horses on the road.
Zhu Pei hurriedly stopped the guard, pulled the agitated Zhao Tang, and looked towards Wang Gu.
Since they entered the account, the counselor has not said a word. Compared with their excitement, his expression is cold and his scheming little eyes are extremely bright. He stares at the messenger thoughtfully the whole time.
"Mr. Wang!" Zhu Pei shouted.
Zhao Tang also looked angrily: "Wang Gu!!"
"Well," Mr. Wang seemed to have just come back to his senses, looked at them, and said calmly, "I just came from the front to report that no soldiers and horses were found. Just after a cup of tea, there were reports of casualties again.
Now, it has directly turned into our fleeing, and the opponent's skill and strength are terrifying."
"You said that as soon as they heard the word Shen Lie, they rushed over even more angrily?" Tao Yinhe looked at the two messengers.
The disgraced soldier nodded: "Yes, General!"
"Could it be Shen Lie who did it?!" Zhao Tang said excitedly.
Mr. Wang showed a smile: "Fourth Major General, what we are encountering now is an ambush and a surprise attack. The other party has been ambushing us. Not to mention whether the man yesterday was Shen Lie. If it was Shen Lie, with the few soldiers we sent,
Ma, do you need Shen Lie to lead an ambush? He can't even beat him to his satisfaction, so he has to recruit a group of people to share the joy of beating people? What's more, an ambush?"
Zhao Tang pulled out his sword with a clang. If Zhu Pei hadn't stopped him and his subordinates who quickly surrounded him, he would have definitely stepped forward and hacked the man named Wang to death.
Wang Gu ignored him at all, smiled and pinched his long beard on his chin, and continued: "We and Shen Lie are friends, not enemies. Even if our people are ambushed, shouting the word 'Shen Lie' will definitely mean that they are amiable or urgent."
Yes, if the other party is Shen Lie's friend and hears our sincere call, he will never fight against us, so those people must be Shen Lie's enemies."
"Sir, continue." Tao Yinhe said.
"Shen Lie doesn't seem to be famous, but if the heroes from all walks of life really want to find out about this person, they can still find out one or two points. Especially Song Zhiyi. Shen Lie helped the Ji family leave Guangzhui, which directly offended Song Zhiyi."
"Sir, what you mean is that these people are Song Zhiyi's soldiers?"
"It's just one of the possibilities," Mr. Wang said, "Or maybe it's someone from the Guo family?"
"Guo family?" Zhao Tang sneered, "What are you talking about? Guo family versus Shen Lie?"
Compared to Zhao Tang, Tao Yinhe knew that Wang Gu never said anything without evidence, so he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang, is there a rift between the Guo family and Shen Lie?"
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "General Tao, not everyone is as harmonious as our Zheng Guogong Mansion, where Bo sings and dances, and everyone is united. What's more, Shen Lie's surname is Shen, not Guo from our Guo family, the same surname is Guo Shang."
There are direct concubines, not to mention those with foreign surnames? Rather than saying it is a natural rift, who knows if they couldn't stand it at the beginning?"
"Is this just Mr.'s guess?" Zhu Pei said.
"What a coincidence," Mr. Wang said, "the few days we went to Songzhou happened to be the time when martial law was imposed throughout Fushang County. Aren't you curious how I could escape the search that was like digging three feet into the ground in the city?"
"Why?" Zhu Pei asked.
"I know this. Mr. Wang told me," Tao Yinhe continued, "Mr. Wang was hiding in the home of an old friend. That old friend was a soldier of Jin Hongkang and had a broken leg on the battlefield. Not long after he was released, due to his special status, the arresting soldiers did not enter his home to conduct a detailed investigation."
"He retired due to disability. Before he retired, he was a military assistant in the famous Han Shen camp under Jin Hongkang," Wang Gu said. "He told me something that happened to be related to Shen Lie."
"Is it when Shen Lie went to Jiangzhou to pick up Guo Zhaohai two years ago?" Zhu Pei said.
Mr. Wang nodded: "Well, Shen Lie happened to run into Jin Hongkang's army outside Youhu County, which had changed its route. Later, the Guo family members abandoned Shen Lie and fled first, leaving Shen Lie trapped in Xiaonan Mountain."
"Is there such a thing?!" Tao Yinhe said in shock.
"How did you know it wasn't Shen Lie who wanted to keep Duan Hou on his own?" Zhu Pei said.
"Since my old friend joined the army and followed the military adviser, he could clearly tell whether Shen Lie was willing or abandoned. Furthermore, the hundreds of people who escaped tried to draw all Jin Hongkang's attention to Shen Lie. The purpose behind him is so obvious and so strong that I hate him so much that I want to die."
"This makes no sense," Tao Yinhe frowned, "Shen Lie didn't feel sorry for them. On the contrary, they treated Shen Lie badly. Why do they hate him so much that he wants to die?"
"Ha," Mr. Wang laughed, his little eyes sparkling, "General Tao, if you leave me to die and you escape first, what do you think I will do to you after I escape?"
Tao Yinhe paused and said, "But I have seen Shen Lie, his temperament..."
"How do you know that Shen Lie's temperament is still the same as what you saw back then? People's temperaments are always changing. Maybe it was this abandonment that caused Shen Lie's temperament to change drastically? General Zhu," Wang Gu looked at Zhu Pei with a smile, "If you were a member of the Guo family, what would you do?"
Zhu Pei said coldly: "Shen Lie's skills are quite terrifying. If I were a member of the Guo family, I would naturally want Shen Lie to die. If he doesn't die, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Wang Gu nodded: "If I were from the Guo family, Shen Lie would also die. If he doesn't want to take revenge now, who knows if he will in the future? In this world, what happened cannot be erased."
"When Shen Lie entered the capital, he was actually sent by the Guo family to serve as a hostage for Emperor Xuan Yan, right?" Zhao Tang said, still holding a sword with a bright blade in his hand.
"Who knows?" Wang Gu said with a smile.
"If it's true, this Shen Lie is too miserable," Zhao Tang said. After saying this, he suddenly became angry and frowned at Wang Gu, "Then according to Mr. Wang's words, the one who ambushed in Shuangpo Gorge today is either Song Zhiyi Someone, or someone from the Guo family?"
"Or maybe Shen Lie has offended other people," Wang Gu said, "but the location of Shuangpo Gorge is very close to Zuilu, and Song Zhiyi's troops have been eyeing Zuilu recently, so they are the only two who are most likely. "
"Kill my beloved general, and I will not take it lightly!" Zhao Tang said through gritted teeth, and then glared at Wang Gu, "And you! Vice General Chen and other unreasonable disasters are all caused by you!"
"Ah?" Mr. Wang blinked, "What the Fourth Major General said has nothing to do with me. I don't want him to die. If I knew he would die, I would never let him go! Wang
I would most like to see a large number of soldiers and generals, but how can I endure the sudden death of a good general?"
As he spoke, his tears fell, and he raised his sleeves to wipe them gently: "General Chen, you died so miserably! Wang will definitely avenge you! Wuwuwu..."
Zhao Tang threw away the weapon in his hand, smashed it on the ground angrily, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The guards beside him hurriedly picked up their weapons, and eight or nine people chased him out.
Zhu Pei did not follow him and looked back at Mr. Wang, who was addicted to drama.
Mr. Wang wiped his tears, sat upright, looked at Supervisor Li next to Tao Yinhe, and said coldly: "It takes several hours to reach Shuangpo Gorge on a fast horse. Several of them rushed to report the message. They are all here."
One after another, we have been chatting here for so long, and no one has come back. The situation there may not be optimistic. You quickly send twenty people to respond, take the military doctor with you, and then lead the pursuing troops behind.
I have other plans for Jianchungang on the south bank of Qiu Lake."
"Twenty people?" Li Jianjun hesitated, "Sir, will it not be enough?"
"If there are too many people, do you want to scare them away?" Mr. Wang asked back.
Li Jianjun nodded: "Yes, I will send some people right away!"
"Remember to send the dwarf," Mr. Wang said. "In this way, the mount will carry less weight and run faster, and the dwarf will look easier to bully, which is very tempting."
"..." Li Jianjun said, "Yes."
Tao Yinhe watched Li Jianjun leave, and then looked at Mr. Wang, the shortest man in the army.
Short ones... are they really easy to bully?
You are probably the most difficult person to deal with in the whole army.
