Chapter 39: Seeing an old friend again
Chen Xiaomu followed and shook open the cloth bag, and a big human head rolled out with a bang, which scared him so much that he took several steps back.
"Cousin, your cousin and I are busy here, but you killed someone halfway, making my work in vain!" Zhang Yun spread his hands and looked helpless.
"This guy, when I rushed to his side, I asked the guard on guard to go in and report. He actually cursed the guard who reported. When I asked the guard to go in again to report, the guards knelt down and begged me, saying that they wanted to go in again.
If I informed him, he would definitely be beaten severely tomorrow morning. I had no choice but to take advantage of the guard's distraction to knock him out, tie him up, and then break in to find him. As soon as I opened his door, this guy woke up with a start.
Sitting on the bed, he pointed at me and yelled, so I went up and cut off his head with a knife, then I pulled a piece of cloth on his bed, wrapped it up and carried him back!"
Chen Xiaomu gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Du, you are so awesome!"
Du Fengxian smiled, "It's just a little trick!"
Chen Xiaomu was no longer polite to him, and turned to Zhang Yun and said: "General Zhang, I would like to ask you to think of a way to bring out the two men under Zhong Tuo for a talk. If they can cooperate with us, then we can do anything.
It's easy to say, otherwise we would have to invite them to go to the West!
Zhang Yun patted his chest, "Don't worry, these two people are from our country of E. One is called Cheng Er and the other is Xiao Cheng. They have a good relationship with me, because Zhong Tuo has a bad temper and usually hits and scolds them.
, they even asked me privately to find a way to transfer them to work under me. I guess if they heard about this, they would not be happy in time!"
Chen Xiaomu shook his head, "We still can't take it lightly. After all, people's hearts are separated by their bellies. Maybe they will worry about various things. For example, their wives and children are now hostages in the hands of the Chu people and they may not dare to rebel against the Chu people!"
Zhang Yun was startled for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, the possibility that Chen Xiaomu mentioned was really possible.
Chen Xiaomu thought for a while and said: "There is no very good reason to go to them in the middle of the night. They will definitely have doubts in their hearts, so I will think of a reason for you. When you go to find them, just say
Their right-wing commander injured his guard today because of trivial matters. The guard was so angry that he killed him while he was sleeping at night. As a result, when the guard escaped and passed your defense zone, you caught him and were taking him to
Lord Guard, Lord Guard now wants you to inform them to come over to discuss how to deal with the funeral."
Zhang Yun thought over Chen Xiaomu's words from beginning to end, and felt that there were no loopholes. He nodded to Chen Xiaomu, turned around and went to find the two major officials under Zhong Tuo.
For fear of an accident, as soon as Zhang Yun left, Chen Xiaomu arranged Ximen Ruoen to the wing room outside, took off a quilt from Wang Yun's bed, covered Wang Yun's body and head tightly, and then let
Du Feng first selected ten strong soldiers from the archers outside to enter the house with waist knives and hid them in Wang Yun's bedroom. Whenever he heard them being greeted outside, he would immediately rush out and hack them to death with random knives.
Zhang Yun was quick to find people on horseback. As soon as Chen Xiaomu had arranged things, there were chaotic footsteps at the door over there, and then there were several uneven reports at the door. Du Feng went over and opened the door first.
Yun led two people, one fat and one thin, into the hall.
After entering the house, the two of them saw Du Fengxian standing with a strange young man, except Wang Yun. They were both stunned. One of them, a fat man about thirty years old, stepped forward, raised his hands and said to Du Fengxian, "
Mr. Du, we are here to see you on the orders of Lord Guard, may I ask where Lord Guard is now?"
Du Fengxian smiled and said: "Master Guards just went to inspect the murder scene of the right commander Zhong Tuo. Before leaving, he asked me to ask you two to wait a moment!"
The fat man turned back and glanced at the thin man and Zhang Yun who were standing behind him. Seeing that they had no reaction, he sighed and said, "This right commander is from Chu. Now he is killed. I'm afraid we can't get away with it!"
"
The same thin man in his thirties frowned and said nothing, but Zhang Yun took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Cheng Dutong, I heard that this right-wing leader is the nephew of Feng Lin, the Minister of Household Affairs of Chu State.
If it weren't for his bad temper and being unpopular with others, he would have mentioned the deputy general a long time ago. I'm afraid this time Feng Shangshu will not let it go. By then, it is estimated that dismissal from office will be a minor matter. The key is that we are all Hubei.
Chinese people, the court originally didn’t trust us, but now that this happened, I think Feng Shangshu would not be willing to accept it if he didn’t charge us with treason!”
"Feng Shangshu, this Japanese thief, if he really accuses me of treason, I will be a bitch for rebelling against him. It's better to die than to die happily!" Cheng Er yelled.
Xiao Cheng, the thin man standing behind Cheng Er, sneered and said, "When it comes time to convict me, I'm afraid the military power will no longer be in your hands. If you still hit me with a hammer, then you can just stretch your neck a little longer and wait for them to take action."
Just chop off your head!"
After hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Cheng Er turned around suddenly and stared at Xiao Cheng fiercely, "Old Xiao, what the hell are you talking about right now? Do you think your head can be saved if I have my head chopped off?"
"
Faced with Cheng Er's aggressive face, Xiao Cheng did not give in. He craned his neck and shouted to Cheng Er, "I'm telling you, Cheng Er, it's useless for you to compete with me. I'm telling you the truth. Don't you?"
If you want to hear it, plug your donkey ears!"
"Hey, hey, you two, we are all grasshoppers strung on a rope now. In the end, I will definitely not be able to escape from this matter, and I will not be able to escape from you either. In a word, no one can escape the relationship. I still want to
What do you want to do? What's the point of quarreling?" Zhang Yun saw the two people's anxious expressions and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"There is a hammer method!" Cheng Er muttered in his throat and stopped talking.
"I think it's better to take advantage of it while we all have military power!" Zhang Yun seemed to be saying to himself.
"What kind of game?" Cheng Er and Xiao Cheng looked at Zhang Yun and asked in unison.
"How to gamble, do you want me to teach you?" Zhang Yun said with a smile.
Cheng Er and Xiao Cheng turned around and looked at Du Fengxian and Chen Xiaomu with guilty consciences.
Du Fengxian laughed loudly, patted Chen Xiaomu who was standing next to him on the shoulder, and said, "This is my good brother who will never change his head after cutting off his head. Zhang Tongzhi is my cousin. No matter how you play tricks, including the two of us,
How about this?"
Cheng Er asked with some suspicion, "Mr. Du, aren't you and Zhang Tongzhi trying to trick us again?"
Du Feng first walked to Wang Yun's body, which was covered with a quilt by Chen Xiaomu, picked up a cloth bag and threw it in front of Cheng Er and Xiao Cheng, "What are you looking at?"
The cloth bag fell away as soon as it hit the ground, and the head of Zhong Tuo, the right commander, was suddenly exposed in front of the two men.
Cheng Er was so frightened that he ran to the corner of the room, while Xiao Cheng cried out: "Why did you cut off all the heads of the right commander?"
"How? Do you have anything to doubt now?" Du Feng asked first.
Cheng Er stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Who killed this right commander?" As he spoke, he cast suspicious eyes on Chen Xiaomu, who was standing next to Du Fengxian.
Chen Xiaomu sneered, "So what if I killed him?"
"What!" Cheng Er and Xiao Cheng were shocked when they heard the sound. They took a step back at the same time and reached for the knife at their waists.
Zhang Yun took a step forward, stretched out his hands, held down the knife-wielding hands of the two men at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "We are all originally from the E country. Who among these people from the Chu country has not touched the blood of our relatives on their hands? How about us?"
The unarmed people of Hubei are their human shields! In my opinion, not only should these people be killed, but they should be killed less often!"
The two of them released their hands holding the handle of the knife. Cheng Er let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground, "Zong Zong, what do you think we should do now?"
"What should I do? Didn't you just say it? You're going to die anyway, so it's better to rebel against him and be a fool!" Zhang Yun chuckled softly.
Cheng Er hurriedly stood up from the ground and waved his hands repeatedly, "This is not possible. The Chu State's 300,000 troops are still over there in Tianquan County, which is only more than a hundred miles away from us. If they come back, we will not be able to defeat them."
It’s not even enough to fill their teeth!”
"Haha" Zhang Yun burst into laughter and said disdainfully, "There are still 300,000 troops! Now I'm afraid they won't even be able to come back with 3,000, and they will all die outside Tianquan County!"
"How is that possible?" Cheng Er said in shock: "Not to mention the 300,000 strong Chu army, which also includes the 50,000 black armored army that is almost invincible in the world, they killed 300,000 pigs and just huddled in Tianquan City.
The 30,000 to 40,000 Zheng soldiers and horses inside can’t be killed in just a few days!”
Zhang Yun had no choice but to dig out the rescue army letter written by Zhu Ping, the deputy governor of Xinyang Pass, to Wang Yun, the garrison of Xinhe County, and showed it to him.
Cheng Er was not as excited as Zhang Yun imagined after reading the military letter. Instead, he looked suspicious and silently handed the rescue military letter to Xiao Cheng.
Who knows that after reading the military book, Xiao Cheng excitedly punched the round table, causing the cups and plates on the table to jingle, "I've decided, Cheng Er, you coward, if you don't resist, I'll chop your dog with a knife."
Damn it!"
Xiao Cheng, who has always been a man of few words, showed such excitement, which surprised everyone in the room!
Cheng Er glanced at him, "You kid, don't be too happy too early. How do you know whether this military letter is true or false? Do you think that the 300,000 Chu troops were made of mud and shattered when washed by water! Besides,
Have you ever seen a flood in this freezing winter?"
"I prove that this military letter is authentic. I personally received it from the postmaster of the Chu Army Station, and I also saw with my own eyes that many Chu soldiers were drowned or froze to death in the water!" Ximen Ruoen
As he spoke, he walked in from the door.
The room suddenly became silent, and everyone stared blankly at Ximen Ruoen who suddenly walked into the room, especially Xiao Cheng, who was almost stunned!
"Who are you?" After a moment, Cheng Er asked, rolling his eyes.
"My name is Simon Ruon." Simon Ruon answered with a smile.
"Ximen Ruoen" Cheng Er was stunned, and suddenly felt that this name was so familiar.
"Princess Ruon, are you really Princess Ruon?" Xiao Cheng was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He walked quickly from the round table to Ximen Ruon and knelt down to pay tribute.
Ximen Ruoen helped him up and looked at him for a long time before asking in confusion, "Are you Brother Chen Xiao?"
Xiao Cheng choked and nodded, "Since we said goodbye to Princess Ruoen, more than ten years have passed in a flash!"
