Dakui walked out of the tent still tied up, looked around and then headed west of the camp. Sun Qian and his generals followed Dakui closely, and they walked out of the camp all the way.
Sun Qian accompanied him all the way. He originally wanted to ask the generals to take Dakui back to the camp, but he was afraid that this would be unreasonable.
The breeze blew, bringing up the messy hair on Dakui's forehead. His originally dirty face looked even more desolate. His arms were tied tightly behind his back. He almost fell down several times along the way. Thanks to the constant protection of the generals behind him, Dakui stumbled nearly five miles, walking from the forward barracks to the central camp.
It was completely dark now, and the brazier of Chinese pine trees was lit in the camp. The soldier on duty in front of the village gate saw a group of people arrive. It was dark and he couldn't see who they were, so he couldn't help shouting and asking: "Who is coming? "
Dakui didn't say anything and just walked without telling Shan. Sun Qian behind him was anxious and walked past silently. The Chinese soldiers were unknown to us and the enemy. What should they do if they opened their bows and fired arrows? The soldiers shouted, and Sun Qian quickly replied loudly: "General Zhang of the forward army has come with all the generals to pay homage to Marshal Xu."
When the soldiers shouting in front of the Chinese army camp heard this, they hurriedly said to a few people around them: "You guys keep watching here, I will report to the marshal." After saying that, he turned around and ran all the way to the Chinese army's tent.
Marshal Xu Da had just had dinner and was about to take a walk around the tent to check on the military affairs of each battalion. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by soldiers reporting the news as soon as he walked to the tent door. When the soldiers saw Xu Da, they quickly knelt down on one knee. Di Zhen said: "Marshal, there are more than ten people from outside the camp. The leader claims to be the general of the forward army, but..."
Xu Da asked in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it. What is it?"
The soldier did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "It's just that the person walking in the front is tied up. He looks like a school captain."
Xu Da couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Bring them in,"
The soldier agreed, turned around, left the camp, and hurried back to the camp gate.
Dakui stood sadly in front of the camp gate. The generals behind him were okay, but Ma Jianjun was a little unable to stand. He usually took care of himself, but he walked five miles on foot before finishing his meal. How do literati enjoy it?
Fortunately, the soldier who reported the news came back, and under the light of the lights, he could see clearly who had come. Sun Qian was the newly appointed general of the forward army. How could he not recognize him.
"It turns out it's really General Sun," the soldier laughed, and then got out of the way: "The marshal has invited all the generals,"
Upon hearing this, Dakui stepped into the military camp alone without saying hello to the people behind him. The generals behind him looked at each other, and then followed Dakui into the Chinese military camp.
Marshal Xu Da took his seat in the main hall of the central military tent, with five armored soldiers guarding him.
The general was missing from the front line. Xu Da was already suspicious. The person who came to the front line tonight was actually a kidnapped person. But he didn’t know why. Marshal Xu Da was suspicious in his heart. There was a sound coming from far outside the tent. A howl.
"Marshal, I, Zhang Dakui, am guilty," Dakui threw himself into the Chinese army tent with runny nose and tears.
Xu Da was confused. What kind of trouble was this?
"Zhang Dakui, do you know what kind of place this is? How can you shout so loudly?" Xu Da got up angrily, but then sighed: "What grievances you have, please tell me slowly," and then ordered the people around him: " loosen up,"
The two soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and were about to untie Da Kui, but Da Kui struggled to free himself and shouted: "Zhang Da Kui is waiting for a crime, so he cannot be untied." The two soldiers had no choice but to look back at Marshal Xu Da. Xu Da waved his hand, and the two soldiers retreated.
Xu Da saw Sun Qian and others who had come with him standing outside the tent, and then he said: "The generals come into the tent to talk."
Sun Qian and others entered the tent and had finished standing on the left and right sides. Xu Da then said to Dakui: "If you have any grievances, just tell them one by one. I will make the decision for you."
Dakui looked sad and choked up: "Zhang Dakui is guilty and has asked to be removed from the post of general."
Xu Da not only frowned, but also asked: "What is your crime?"
Only then did Dakui speak eloquently: "Zhang Dakui was originally the guilty minister of Emperor Taizu. He came to serve in the army because of the emperor's grace of not killing him. God favored me for his meritorious service. The marshal did not give up and made me a general. Who would have thought that after taking office? Day...," At this point, Da Kui knelt down and cried "Wow!" and began to cry again.
Marshal Xu Da was confused when he heard this. When he saw Da Kui crying again, he said angrily: "A man of seven feet, why should I cry and get up and talk?"
Dakui didn't get up, just knelt there and cried.
This kind of movement quickly spread throughout the Chinese army, and hundreds of generals and generals of the Chinese army gradually gathered outside the tent to watch the fun.
I don’t know how Tang He got the news and brought more than ten personal guards to the Chinese army.
Tang He flipped his saddle and dismounted, and his guards took the reins of the horse. Tang He ran to the door of the Chinese army's tent in three steps and two steps at a time. He saw that the front door of the Chinese army's tent was blocked by people on three levels inside and outside.
Tang He finally separated and came to the tent, where Dakui was crying in the tent.
"General Tang He, please see me." Tang He cupped his fists and saluted Li outside the tent.
Marshal Xu Da was worried. Zhang Dakui was so ignorant that he started crying in front of so many people. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Tang He outside the tent. He had always heard that Tang He was on good terms with Zhang Dakui. , perhaps only Tang He could persuade Zhang Dakui to stop crying.
"General Tang came just in time, come and persuade him," Marshal Xu Da personally walked to the tent door and pulled Tang He closer to the tent.
Tang He entered the tent, walked to Dakui and knelt down.
"Brother, if you have any grievances, tell me and I will make the decision for you," Tang Hewen said to each other.
Dakui raised his head and saw that it was Tang He and couldn't help but stop crying.
"Let's talk if you have anything to say," Tang He helped Dakui up and reached out to untie the rope from Dakui's body.
Xu Da returned to his position and asked angrily: "If you have anything to say, you can say it this time."
Dakui turned to look at Tang He, reached out and took Tang He's hand and said, "Brother Tang, touch my head."
Tang He looked suspicious, stretched out his hand to touch Dakui's head, and then became furious: "Who did this?"
It turned out that Da Kui had a lump on his head. Tang He forcefully pulled Da Kui's head over to take a closer look. He found that the lump was in strips and was purple and black, as if it had been injured by a stick.
This bag was bumped on the table intentionally by Dakui himself, so it was naturally in the shape of strips. But seeing Tang He's angry face at this moment, Dakui was not only secretly happy.
Tang Hezai carefully looked at the injury on Dakui's head, then let go, and then raised his fist towards Marshal Xu Da and said: "After inspection, General Zhang has a stick wound on his head. I'm afraid someone wants to kill General Zhang." ," As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of surprise and suspicion in the big tent, and everyone watching the excitement outside the tent also whispered to each other.
It's a big deal if someone actually wants to kill the general in the military camp.
Marshal Xu Da was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked Dakui: "What is the reason? General Zhang needs to explain it in detail."
Dakui took a deep breath, seemed to have calmed down a lot, and then said: "At the end of the day, General Mo went to the forward army to take up his post. The captain on duty at the camp gate stopped me and said that he did not recognize me as the general. General Mo was dead at that time. I had my heart set on it, but I thought that since I had come, I would come back with a disgraced face, and I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with it, so I used General Tang's badge and claimed that I was the captain of the gang leader, and then I sneaked into the military camp. ,"
Xu Da's face was gloomy, but he didn't speak.
Dakui continued: "The general originally thought that even if he came to the forward army, he would still be able to contribute even if he was a pawn, but who knows what happened later..." As he spoke, Dakui looked at the horse supervisor who was standing not far away. When Ma Jianjun saw Dakui looking towards him, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine, thinking: 'Could he be falsely accusing me of plotting to kill the general?'
Dakui glanced at Ma Jianjun, and then said: "Who would have thought that even those who set fire to cook would not be able to settle down. Someone drugged me that day and poured a lot of wine into me while I was unconscious, and then I was taken away. Ma Jianjun arrested him,"
When Tang He heard this, he not only asked: "Where did you get the injury on your head?"
Dakui gritted his teeth and said, "I was about to break free after I woke up, but someone entered the camp unprepared by the guards and knocked me unconscious again."
Marshal Xu Da asked coldly: "Are there any more?"
Dakui sighed and said: "Zhang Dakui knows that he has no virtue or talent. This time he has asked to be discharged and return to his fields. I hope the marshal will give him permission." After saying this, Dakui slowly knelt down.
Xu Da asked: "You said you were guilty, but for what crime?"
Hearing this, Dakui replied: "If you are not guilty, why did you tie me up?"
Tang He sighed on the side and said: "Brother Dakui is pure, kind and honest in nature. If it weren't for Tang and his entourage in Jeju, we would never have caused our brothers to travel all over the country, let alone suffer such an unreasonable disaster."
At this moment, Xu Da finally understood that Da Kui and Tang He were acting in harmony. Although he didn't know what the meaning was, Master Xu knew that Tang He was a good person. In this case, he might as well perform the play to the end.
Xu Da smiled slightly, but muttered to himself: "First, someone blocked you in front of the camp, then someone drugged you when you entered the camp, then someone came to arrest you, and finally someone knocked you out." Xu Da walked to Dakui and stretched out his hand. He gently stroked the dust off Dakui's shoulders and then said: "Come here,"
There was a promise in the tent, and ten soldiers came forward to wait for orders.
Xu Da said slowly: "Sun Qian and Ma Jianjun have been kidnapped."
"You're wronged," Ma Jianjun knelt down with a 'plop' sound. Sun Qian also knelt down quickly. The soldier couldn't help but push the two of them to the ground. There were soldiers outside the door who had already brought ropes and tied them tightly. .
Xu Da walked up to Ma Jianjun, bent down and asked: "General Zhang was just drugged and drunk, and you went to arrest him. Where in the world can such a coincidence happen?"
Ma Jianjun shook his head and defended himself: "Marshal clearly noticed that General Zhang drank the wine himself. After getting drunk, he vomited all over his subordinates. Not only the wine but also meat was vomited." Originally, Ma Jianjun What you say makes sense. It's easy to drink wine, but how to drink meat.
Xu Da turned a deaf ear to it. Although he was sure that Da Kui was up to something, he still continued to order: "Send another five hundred soldiers to fetch the captain who was on duty that day."
"Follow the order," a promise came from outside the door, and a soldier turned around to deliver the order.
