"Report, my lord, there is a troop of soldiers rushing towards me outside my camp!" The scouts outside reported to Zhao Weitong.
"How courageous!" Immediately, all the generals under Zhao Wei turned red in the face. These barbarians, if they don't trouble the barbarians, they are already saving face. I didn't expect these barbarians to come to the door on their own initiative. , Isn't this the toilet lighting the lantern to seek death
All of Zhao Wei's subordinates rubbed their hands together.
Even Zhao Wei frowned. Are these barbarians going to catch them by surprise
Not to mention those defensive deployments, just say that Zhao Wei's soldiers and horses are ten times that of the barbarians over there. These barbarians dare to take the initiative to attack, isn't it courting death
"My lord, it's not those barbarians, but my army!" The scout continued.
"Soldiers and horses of our army?" Everyone looked at each other, where did they come from
This Zhao Wei only sent one army, which was Yang Chao's soldiers and horses, but these soldiers and horses were annihilated by the enemy long ago, where did the other one come from, isn't this a joke
"Could it be?" A soldier and horse appeared in Zhao Wei's mind.
"My lord, the flag on it is Wang Qian!" the scout continued.
"Wang Qian?" Everyone was taken aback.
Randomly, Zhao Wei understood, "Wang Cheng, Qian Xiao?"
Zhao Wei kept Wang Cheng in Yunnan, not because Zhao Wei didn't like Wang Cheng, but because Wang Cheng was very stable. That's why Wang Cheng was left behind.
"Wang Cheng's soldiers and horses?"
Only then did everyone remember. When the second son over there sent a letter asking for help. But they put all the responsibility on Wang Cheng, saying that Wang Cheng took the initiative to attack on his own initiative, thus aggravating the barbarian's strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
Originally, they thought that Wang Cheng's soldiers and horses were wiped out by the barbarians. After all, there was Yang Chao's example in front of them.
Who would have thought that this Wang Cheng army was still there.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Zhao Wei was cautious.
"There are 3,000 people coming down immediately!" The scout under him reported.
"Pass down the order, the whole army is on alert, and everyone follows me to see my General Wang Cheng!" Zhao Wei is not an aunt. Even though he knew that this might really be Wang Cheng's army, he still asked his subordinates to be on guard, just in case.
"Yes!" Soon the entire camp of Zhao Weijun took action.
"This Zhao Wei is quite a character!" Looking at the movements of Zhao Wei's camp over there with the telescope in Jia Xu's hand, she couldn't help but nodded and said that she should be on guard against any soldiers and horses that might be detrimental to the army, even if it is her own. , Although this is a bit troublesome, it is the only way to save life.
"But do you really think you can guard against it?" Jia Xu's eyes flashed, this Zhao Wei made Jia Xu love talents, but Jia Xu also knew that Zhao Wei must be killed, for the sake of Yizhou, Zhao Wei could not stay .
"It's finally out!" Wang Cheng stayed in the army and watched the soldiers and horses under him over there report to Zhao Wei's camp in front.
As long as Zhao Wei let his army enter the camp. Then he, Wang Cheng, was really liberated.
Surrender to Yangzhou Liu Mang? Stop joking! Although he, Wang Cheng, also admires His Highness the King of Han very much, but that's just admiration.
He is truly loyal to Zhao Wei.
He was not promoted because of Zhao Wei. But when Wang Cheng was in the most difficult time at home, it was Zhao Wei's bag of rice that saved Wang Cheng's family, and then Wang Cheng worked for Zhao Wei to this day.
Even if Zhao Wei doesn't use Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng will not betray him.
As for what he looked like in Jia Xu's camp before, that was all pretended by Wang Cheng.
Who let him fall into Jia Xu's trick, was deceived by Qian Xiao, and was finally captured alive.
If Wang Cheng ever disagreed, his head would probably fall to the ground. He Wang Cheng is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that these soldiers and horses under his hands will be buried with him.
After all, this is also an army of 3,000, so Wang Cheng has been pretending to be false.
Now I finally have the chance to come out alone.
His Wang Cheng's goal has also been achieved. Wang Cheng suddenly thought of the strategy Jia Xu told them, and couldn't help but feel a chill. Looking at the carts of hay and saltpeter over there, if it really happens, the situation in Yizhou may be It's about to change completely.
He, Wang Cheng, would definitely not let such a thing happen.
"General Wang Cheng, you said that now we treat everything like the lord, will the lord let us go?" Just as Wang Cheng was thinking, a person next to him suddenly spoke.
"Yes!" Wang Cheng subconsciously said.
"Huh?" Wang Cheng reacted randomly, he turned around and looked at the person who spoke over there.
"Qian Xiao?" Wang Cheng saw the person coming.
Qian Xiao looked at Wang Cheng with a smile. The question just now came from his mouth.
Wang Cheng's thoughts turned. Is this Qian Xiao just like Wang Cheng? He is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han
"Qian knows you?"
"General Wang Cheng, I guess Zhao Wei will forgive me!"
"Qian Xiao, don't make mistakes! We still have a chance!" Wang Cheng wondered if he could persuade Qian Xiao. He had accidentally slipped his mouth just now, and now he was about to enter the camp. The conflict between him and Qian Xiao.
According to Zhao Wei's personality, he would definitely not let the two men enter the camp. At that time, he, Wang Cheng, would not have the opportunity to tell Zhao Wei and Jia Xu's strategy.
"Yes, we still have a chance!" Qian Xiao said with a smile.
Wang Cheng hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief yet.
Qian Xiao over there continued to speak, "This opportunity can only be given to one person!"
"En?" Wang Cheng frowned and looked at Qian Xiao.
"There are two people, you and I. We are defeated in this battle, and we still have to join the enemy. If we want to get Zhao Wei's forgiveness, one of us must die!" Qian Xiao continued.
"I guess General Wang Cheng already has someone in his heart, and it can't be me, Qian Xiao!"
Wang Cheng frowned even more, indeed. He, Wang Cheng, is loyal to Zhao Wei. But he was also afraid that Zhao Wei would not believe him. So there must be a scapegoat.
And Qian Xiao is the one who is behind the scenes. Only when he, Wang Cheng, pushes everything to Qian Xiao over there, can he, Wang Cheng, not be affected, and may even go one step further.
I didn't expect Qian Xiao to see it now.
"General Wang Cheng is so calculating!" Qian Xiao said to Wang Cheng.
"How could it be! Qian Xiao, you have to know that even if you are looking for a scapegoat, you are not qualified! I am looking for my lieutenant general! He is dead, and dead people can't speak!" Wang Cheng turned to Qian Xiao reassured.
Wang Cheng's deputy. He was beheaded by Huzi long ago.
"Really?" Qian Xiao asked with a smile.
"Naturally it is true! How could I lie to you! You and I have been on business for so long!"
"If that's the case, we'll have to continue to rely on Mr. Wang Cheng!" Qian Xiao said with a smile on his forehead.
"That's natural, you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, so naturally we will share weal and woe!" Wang Cheng over there comforted Qian Xiao.
"In that case, I have to thank General Wang Cheng!" Qian Xiao bowed to Wang Cheng.
"Where, where!" Wang Cheng stepped forward to help Qian Xiao up, he was smiling on the surface, but in his heart he was already sneering, he had already sentenced Qian Xiao to death.
It is really hard to convince the public if a lieutenant general is dead, there is only one living person. Only then can the lord's anger be blocked, and even something can be taken out of Qian Xiao's mouth. To prove that Wang Cheng was a thief, but he was forced to do nothing.
Comforting Qian Xiao now is only on the surface.
Wang Cheng's wishful thinking was well planned, but the smile on his face hadn't fully bloomed yet, and suddenly his expression froze.
He lowered his head and looked at the red forehead on his chest in disbelief.
"Why?" Wang Cheng looked at Qian Xiao in disbelief.
"General Wang Cheng, you also said that only dead people don't talk nonsense!" Qian Xiao said to Wang Cheng indifferently.
"You obviously?" Wang Cheng meant that you, Qian Xiaoming, had already promised me.
"Wang Cheng, I have been under your command for so many years. If I have not guessed your thoughts, I, Qian Xiao, have lived for so many years in vain! Your little finger and middle finger, once you lie or have thoughts in your heart When it's too late, he will tilt up!" Qian Xiao said to Wang Cheng.
"Me!" This is a habit of Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng himself didn't think too much about it, but Qian Xiao over there noticed it.
"General Wang Cheng, in fact, I really don't want to kill you. In fact, I also imagine that the lord will confess, but it's too late, too late!" Qian Xiao shook his head and said. There are only three thousand soldiers in the army, so Qian Xiao didn't believe Jia Xu's words at first.
But Qian Xiao has no choice, this Wang Cheng wants his life, while Jia Xu is willing to give him a way out, even if he loses in the end, he can survive for a few days, right
"you!"
"General Wang Cheng, I forgot to tell you, everything about you is under the control of Mr. Wen He, and today I killed you is also Mr. Wen He's plan!" Qian Xiao finally spit out the truth to Wang Cheng.
"Jia Xu!" Wang Cheng's eyes widened, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes widened and he looked at the sky, as if he was dying.
Wang Cheng died, even though there were soldiers around who stared at Qian Xiao dumbfounded, no one dared to do anything to Qian Xiao.
As for Wang Cheng's personal guards, they were mobilized by Qian Xiao a long time ago. Whether they can survive is still a question.
"General Wang Cheng, he was killed by those barbarians! You all saw it! General Wang Cheng took the lead, and finally died at the hands of the barbarians! Do you understand?" Qian Xiao said, looking at the surrounding soldiers.
"Listen, listen, I understand!" Sparse Lala was listless and frightened.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If it leaks out, I, Qian Xiao, will die. Of course, you won't be able to escape. You will definitely be regarded as my accomplice, and you will die in the army in the end. But if you understand, If you can keep this secret, after this is accomplished, you and I will share the glory and wealth. Mr. Wen He has already said that after the event is accomplished, if the officer who is willing to stay in the army is promoted to the third rank, he will be rewarded with a hundred coins. Those who stay in the army will be rewarded with tens of thousands of coins, and allowed to be discharged and returned to the fields! It is up to you whether you live or die!" Qian Xiao said to the generals over there.
"Yes!" If it was just Qian Xiao's words, these soldiers would not be able to keep their mouths shut, but if it was closely related to their own wealth and life, then these soldiers would not reveal anything.
"Okay, let's wait for our lord to receive us!" Qian Xiao also wiped the blood from his hands and left.
Zhao Wei's army left the camp.
The two armies looked at each other.
"The last general, Qian Xiao, has met the lord!" Qian Xiao stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zhao Wei over there.
"You are Qian Xiao? Where is Wang Cheng?" Zhao Wei asked Qian Xiao.
"General, General, he already died on the battlefield!" Qian Xiao began to speak with snot and tears, his voice choked up.
"Wang Cheng is dead?" Everyone was stunned. This Wang Cheng is a stable person like Zhao Wei. Generally speaking, he would not charge forward. Unless the entire army is wiped out, then Wang Cheng may still die. Now, although the army has only 3,000 people, a quarter of its personnel has been reduced, it has not yet reached Chengdu, which was wiped out.
How did this Wang Cheng die.
"Come on, get Qian Xiao for me!" Zhao Wei waved his hand and asked his subordinates to tie up Qian Xiao.
"My lord, my lord?" Qian Xiao also panicked, did Zhao Wei find out? If so, then Qian Xiaoke died unjustly.
But when Qian Xiao saw that there was no killing intent on Zhao Wei's face, his heart was at ease.
But acting is a trick, and Qian Xiao was still crying loudly over there, crying out for being wronged, wronged.
"My lord, what?" The generals on the side also looked at Zhao Wei, they didn't know Qian Xiao, Qian Xiao was just a thousand generals before.
They speak for Qian Xiao, it is because there is a kind of sad rabbit dead fox.
Zhao Wei didn't speak, and Qian Xiao was tied into the camp over there, "You, you, and you all come here!" Zhao Wei called out to the generals and soldiers over there.
One by one approached Zhao Wei in fear.
Zhao Wei asked his guards to ask them one by one.
Looking at the information in his hand, that Qian Xiao really didn't lie.
It said that they were ordered by the second son Zhao Yi to exterminate the barbarians.
After leaving Yunnan City, he didn't expect to be transferred away from the mountain by a small barbarian army of thousands of people. It was too late for Wang Cheng to react.
They ran a long distance and wanted to go back to Yunnan, but they didn't expect to be ambushed several times on the way.
Wang Cheng died in battle at that time.
The army collapsed, and in the end it was Qian Xiao who assembled the army. After walking for several days in the mountains and forests, he returned to Yunnan.
One person may lie, two people may confess, three or four, it should be the truth.
Zhao Wei's heart is much more stable, careful promotion has saved Zhao Wei many times.
But he didn't realize that there was a kind of fear in the eyes of those generals who were being interrogated. (to be continued..)
