Chapter 446 Zhu Meng who fled back to Suzhou (fourth update)
Cai Laoliu listened blankly as the general who rushed back told him about the battle at Mingyue.
Of course, I really want to know what the ruthless senior brother Gao Zhang, a strong contender for the number one talent in the Song Dynasty, did.
As for Tong Zhisheng, that vulgar warrior, all he had to do was glance at something from the corner of his eye. He would definitely not pose much of a threat to himself.
But when Cai Laoliu heard that his senior brother Gao Zhang was actually at the position, he built himself a high platform several feet above the ground. He stayed there from the beginning of the battle until the battle was completed, then he came east.
Hearing that, Cai Laoliu felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe. Sure enough, that despicable senior brother could come up with all kinds of crazy tricks if he wanted to show off.
After hearing that the war was over, Gao Zhang arranged the remains of the fallen soldiers there.
And he decided to build a huge stone monument there, and asked that the names of those fallen soldiers be engraved on it.
I pray that the eight characters "Defend the home and the country and live forever" are written on the stone tablets of those fallen soldiers.
Cai Laoliu's eyes were red and he slapped the criminal with his palm.
"Despicable! It's so despicable. He even wanted to take advantage of the fallen soldiers. He was so shameless. Why wasn't he there? If not for him, he would have done better than him..."
What a famous scene. If I were present, even if I were facing the fallen soldiers, beating my chest and crying loudly, I would definitely be able to win high praise from the soldiers and civilians of Jiangnan.
Let the reputation of Cai Qilinzi, who exposed the Zhu family's conspiracy to rebel against the Prime Minister, be even better.
He was just one step away. Why was he so afraid of walking on the battlefield?
It turns out that Ming Gaozhang and Tong Zhisheng, that vulgar warrior, have both achieved great success in battle, but I can just beat my chest and feel regretful...
There was a crisp sound, which made all the Cai family's followers outside the cabin stare dumbfoundedly at Cai Laoliu who suddenly raised his legs and gave himself a slap in the face.
On the face where the bruises were almost gone, there was another bright red slap mark. Cai Liulang took a breath and rubbed away the tears caused by the pain of his leg.
"No, he, Cai Yao, must never lag behind others again. Hurry, prepare his horse quickly."
"Ah, Rokuro, what do you want to do?"
"There is much that can be done. Of course, if you are chasing the army, I will ask for my favor and risk the enemy. I will fight bloody battles with a group of soldiers to seize the city of Suzhou, defeat Zhu's rebels, and capture Zhu Meng alive!"
"..." I saw Rokuro, who was obviously furious, jumping to his feet and roaring.
The whole Cai family looked at each other in despair, but they had no choice but to follow his instructions.
#####
When Prime Minister Liu hurried to the city gate, at this moment, groups of defeated soldiers were pouring into the outside of the city.
The King of Wu, Zhu Meng, whose face was frighteningly green at the moment, was surrounded by a group of defeated generals who had thrown away their armor and stood at the top of the city.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the city seemed very depressing, and before setting off for the expedition, many of them felt that Gao Zhang was just a novice.
Just beg them to take action, and you can catch the heroes with your legs. Now, one or two of them are like gamblers who were caught red-handed by the boss of a black gambling shop.
Or is it like a private salt dealer who finds out that all his private salt has been replaced by silt by profiteers?
They all stood there dejectedly, looking anxiously at Zhu Meng, who had a gloomy face and eyes that were full of murderous intent, as if he was begging to be violent and murderous at any time.
Zhu Meng knew very well that if he was not the king of Wu, he would not be able to find the reason for his defeat in his own body.
But no, if you suffer such a huge defeat, you must find a scapegoat to kill the chicken and respect the monkey.
By the way, he will severely intimidate those who are afraid at this moment, so that those people can continue to be bound to him and go all the way to darkness.
Among those generals, several were not from the Zhu family. Are they related to me by blood? There is no doubt about their loyalty.
So for those who use it to kill chickens and honor monkeys, they can naturally choose the kind of general who doesn't listen to himself very much. In this battle, he was very responsible for commanding the army. It turned out that he could escape faster than anyone else and was the first general to escape back to Suzhou.
…
The tall and burly General Gu felt a little guilty at the moment. He also secretly regretted that since he had already escaped, why did he have to escape back to Suzhou City?
The key point is that I was the first one to escape, so I was lucky. But after I returned to Suzhou, I had a lot of tea time, and Zhu Meng escaped back in embarrassment.
That's a bit embarrassing. After all, Zhu Meng is now his lord...
And as Zhu Meng's eyes turned that way, General Gu's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells.
The first time he consciously touched his waist, he found nothing. When he fled back, General Gu had forgotten whether the knife was sheathed or not...
"Get him!" With Zhu Meng's low roar, several generals rushed out like wolves and tigers, and soon suppressed the struggling General Gu.
Zhu Meng raised his legs, and the cold light swayed from his waist, making the more than ten generals not named Zhu look fearful and retreat.
Fortunately, Zhu Meng was not a brainless person. He took the sword and began to count all the things that happened to General Gu.
During the fierce battle, he did not respect orders. When reinforcements from the imperial officers and soldiers came, he did not know how to form a formation to resist, and fled immediately.
"...If he fails to follow the military discipline of the Great Wu Army, it will cause heavy losses to the officers and men of the Great Wu Kingdom. If Mingyue does not kill me, it is due to military law, national law, and natural law."
Following General Gu's cry for help, King Zhu Meng of Wu raised his leg and dropped his sword, and his ferocious head with a face full of fear rolled directly to the top of the city.
It rolled all the way and landed a few steps away. At this moment, Prime Minister Liu was walking at the top of the city with his lapels raised.
He saw the head that was just one step away from him and was still staring at death.
Prime Minister Liu trembled so much that he almost breathed his last on the spot.
#####
After killing a thorn, Zhu Men finally felt that the depression in his chest had dissipated a lot.
Naturally, I also noticed the vigilant and fearful expressions on the faces of those generals who had come from wealthy family backgrounds.
Zhu Meng, who knew that he now needed the support of his subordinates, comforted the generals with kind words.
Prime Minister Liu who arrived was also beating drums at the side, finally calming down all the generals. Following the instructions of the King of Wu, he went to appease the remaining defeated generals.
After the generals left one after another, Prime Minister Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, where is Master Ning?"
"You actually dared to offend me and tried to take my mount, but I have already chopped off your legs myself."
Zhu Meng's eyelids twitched, and he said impatiently.
"..."
