But the biggest shortcoming of the second generation ancestor is that all self-confidence comes from others, so this kind of self-confidence is actually very fragile. Once encountering real danger, it will inevitably be crushed by pressure... This is the case with Zhang Sala. His legs,
His hands were shaking uncontrollably, he opened his mouth but could not speak, and his ears were ringing violently... Only then did he realize that he was not afraid of anything, but in fact he was just arrogant for no reason, until he came to the end.
When it was time to fight to the death, he realized how timid he was.
Seeing that Second Young Master Zhang was so frightened, the expressions of the generals were a bit strange. Although Zhang Hui's body was no longer in control, he could clearly feel that some were worried, some were ridiculing, and some were even looking down upon...
', Fighting, Zhang Hao bit the tip of his tongue hard. The taste of blood made him sober. At least he could finally control himself. He hissed and ordered: "Gather the troops and prepare for contingency."
"Here." The generals responded, and when they turned around and prepared to go down the city tower, they all stopped again because they saw Zhang Xi, Zhang Xi's younger brother, surrounded by a group of officers, going up to the city gate tower in a menacing manner.
Zhang Xi's appearance is similar to that of Zhang Sala. They are both thin and handsome, but his eye sockets are deeper and his nose is slightly hooked, making him appear more gloomy and cold. He held the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand and glanced at the top of the city with cold eyes.
Finally it fell on Zhang Sala.
Zhang Xi's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zhang Xi appearing... Ordinarily Zhang Xi, the commander of Tiance's left guard, should be at Fangshan, next to the King of Han. But now he appears here, together with a group of government troops.
The officers of the Guard were naturally not here to see the scenery.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
However, the opponent was replaced by his own brother, and the fear in Zhang Wei's heart disappeared immediately. He looked at Zhang Xi coldly: "Lao San, why don't you come here if you don't stay in Fangshan?"
"If I don't come, you will bring trouble to the old Zhang family." Zhang Xi looked gloomy and raised his voice so that all the generals in the city could hear: "This dispute between the king of Han and the prince for the throne is also ours.
A contest between the generals and the civil servants. The one who wins will always trample on the loser. Our Zhang family is the head of the generals, and our eldest brother is the deceased brother of His Highness the King of Han. We all have to stand by reason.
"The King of Han," he said, pointing to his second brother and said: "But you, a rip-off, have betrayed the King of Han, betrayed the eldest brother, and wanted to push the soldiers of the right guard of the government army to the point of no return for our Zhang family."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We, the right guard of the government army, are bodyguards and loyal to one person, and that is the emperor. Now that the King of Han is going to rebel, he is naturally the emperor's enemy. Which side do you think we should stand on?" Zhang Hao frowned and said: "
Besides, I am the commander of the right guard of the government army, what qualifications do you have to make such a fuss here?" As he spoke, he glared at the generals around Zhang Xi and said, "He is ignorant, and you are also fooling around, why don't you?
Get out now”
"..." But he was answered with silence, and the generals did not move at all.
"Are you going to rebel?" Zhang Wei said in shock and anger, "I forgot what I promised you just now."
"Of course we keep our word, but we obey the Zhang family." A general muttered: "We are not obeying you."
"I represent the Zhang family," Zhang Hao said, patting his chest vigorously.
"No, you can't represent it," Zhang Xi said in shock: "The ancestral armor and spear in your hand are all fake."
"..." This was the truly fatal sentence. Zhang Hu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited blood. He stared with blood-red eyes and said: "Lao San, you are crazy."
"You are crazy, okay?" Zhang Xi shouted loudly, trying to be heard by the officers and soldiers up and down the tower: "You had someone forge our family's heirloom, which is unfilial; and then you used it to pretend to be the eldest brother, which is unfilial.
Righteousness; for the sake of personal gain, regardless of everyone's life and death, it is unkind, and you dare to betray the King of Han, it is unfaithful, an unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial person like you has no qualifications to be this commander again."
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Kai looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am the commander appointed by the emperor and appointed by my eldest brother. What qualifications do you think I have? I even said that being loyal to the emperor and opposing the rebellion of the Han Dynasty is disloyal. It is really confusing right and wrong to the extreme.
"
"Whether it's ridiculous or not depends on what everyone thinks." Zhang Xi sneered and glanced at the generals: "Everyone, the King of Han's army of 200,000 is about to return to the capital. Anyone who is willing to join me and join the King of Han will stand here.
If you are willing to accompany him to death, just stay with him."
This is to force the generals to take sides.
The pungent smell floated to the top of the city. It was the gunpowder smoke produced by the explosion at Qingshou Temple. It also reminded the generals on the top of the city that once they stood in line, the original Paoze would become an enemy and they would be killed on the top of the city.
The generals looked at each other again and again, communicating silently with their eyes. Zhang Sala stood there and found that he could do nothing because he knew that his subordinates were out of control...
After a while, someone finally made a move, and a Qianhu came from behind him to Zhang Xi's side. Someone started, and the back was like a dike bursting, two, three... until all the generals came to the opposite side of him.
Zhang Wei looked around and found no one except his own soldiers.
He couldn't help but smile sadly. He didn't expect that he would be abandoned by everyone so easily... In fact, it wasn't like this in the first place. Zhang Kai had really put in some effort over the years, and he was a really good person, so he was quite willing to be with him.
It was a stupid general. But the problem was that the right guard of the government had to guard not just one Shence Gate, but five entire city gates. And he made another fatal mistake - in order to ensure that he had control over every city gate.
In order to control his power, he evenly distributed the generals who were loyal to him to these five departments, and all of them served as guard generals. There were two problems with this. One was that it disrupted the original seniority ranking, which would make the others very dissatisfied. The other was that he put himself
The power is dispersed.
This time, Zhang Xi obviously seized on these two points and gathered people who were dissatisfied with him to suddenly attack, creating a one-sided situation. In this way, people who were originally loyal to him would stand up to protect themselves when they saw that the situation was over.
On the opposite side of him.
Originally, there was no way he would end up alone, but there are no ifs in this world, only results - at this moment, he is alone.
"How are you doing, second brother?" Zhang Xi cheered up now and said with a proud look on his face: "Where are you going to stand?"
Zhang Wei smiled miserably, smiled at Zhang Xi and gave a thumbs up, "Brother, you are tall, you are really tall."
"Cheng Rang." Zhang Xi smiled and said: "Second brother, I'm afraid to persuade you to sober up. What's so good about Wang Xian? We are brothers, okay, who is he? He is a brother who fights tigers. He goes into battle.
Father and son soldiers, you really have to disregard the family ties and insist on being buried with the king."
Zhang Hu waved his hand and said with an upright expression: "Okay, don't talk anymore. Wang Xian and I are brothers."
"Second brother is really stubborn..." Zhang Xi narrowed his eyes, murderous intention suddenly revealed.
"But as you said, we are blood brothers." Zhang Kai's next sentence shocked everyone's jaws. They stared blankly at him and walked to Zhang Xi's side, hearing him say without shame or embarrassment:
"So I decided to bring order to the chaos and stand with you."
Opposite Zhang Xi, only a few of Zhang Sala's soldiers were left. Of course, they didn't want to go against Zhang Xi, but they didn't expect that his second master was so shameless and hadn't turned around for a while.
"Why is the pestle there? Why don't you come here quickly?" Zhang Sala yelled loudly and brought a few soldiers over. Then he put on a smile and bowed and said: "Third brother, brother, I was confused for a moment, but you can teach me a lesson."
I understand. You must vouch for me in front of the King of Han."
"This is natural." Zhang Xi laughed loudly.
"Report" A soldier quickly ran to the top of the city, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Report, there is a convoy starting from the Prince's Mansion and running towards Shence Gate. It will be there soon."
"Haha, I just threw myself into a trap." Zhang Xi was very proud. He glanced at Zhang Sala and said, "Second brother, I will give you this opportunity to make meritorious deeds. How about we be brothers?"
"Enough... damn enough." Zhang Sala's face looked a little ferocious, and his fists clenched loudly. He didn't know whether he was determined to use the prince's family as a proxy, or because he hated Zhang Xi for not being a brother.
"Go with the second master and protect him." Zhang Xi ordered the guards around him. Zhang Huo's own soldiers wanted to follow, but were stopped by Zhang Xi's people. Obviously, the so-called protection, but
It's just surveillance.
Under the attention of everyone on the tower, Zhang Sala walked heavily down the tower, and in the distance, the team of carriages also drove over.
Zhang Wei stood there and did not give any orders.
"Hurry up and ask them to stop the car," the person behind him urged in a low voice.
Zhang Wei turned a deaf ear and remained silent.
"Stop" saw the carriage getting closer and closer, but Zhang Hui refused to cooperate. Zhang Xi's men could only get worse and worse.
"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Sala suddenly burst out, swung his hands and slapped Zhang Xi's subordinate to the ground, then waved his hand coolly and said: "Let him go."
The soldiers below the city didn't know what had just happened on the city, so of course they obeyed the command and let them go.
At this time, Zhang Xi and others on the city were anxious. As they ran down, they roared: "Don't listen to him, hurry up and close the city gate."
The soldiers were immediately confused.
At this time, Zhang Xi's guards were also anxious, and they held Zhang Hu down with all their hands. Zhang Hu struggled and said loudly: "What the hell are you standing still for? Come and save me quickly!"
When the soldiers saw that these strangers dared to use violence against the commander, not to mention the carriages, they hurriedly came to the rescue. A group of people started fighting under the city gate and watched helplessly as the convoy passed through the city.
", chase" Zhang Xi didn't care about the fate of Zhang Sala, so he asked people to quickly bring the horse over, and personally led the team to chase him out.
