Chapter 134 and opening two games to capture Qianqiu 12
"There is a mole on the back," Lang Shilong thought for a while, but still felt that he had no idea, but it was difficult to dismiss Sun Erniang's intention, so he immediately said: "I'll do my best," Lang Shilong paused and said : "Where does Er Niang live now?"
Sun Erniang said: "Settlement at Yuelai Inn."
"Wouldn't it be a shame to stay at the inn during the chaos of war? I'll send someone to get Er Niang's gift. I have a few vacant rooms in the government office. If you don't mind, I'll pack them up immediately and make do with them. "In less than two days, people from the imperial court will definitely arrive, and we can go back to Bianliang after changing." Lang Shilong said, "Would you like to see it?"
Sun Erniang said: "Then I will disturb you, sir."
"You're welcome," Lang Shilong said, and he summoned two of his followers, one of whom went to clean up a room, and one of them took the troops to follow Sun Erniang to the Yuelai Inn to carry the luggage.
Lang Shilong saw off a few people, and then one person returned to the government office with a team of guards. He went straight to the study, picked up his pen and wrote a letter happily. This letter was not reported to the court, but written to Lord Cai Jing's letter first described in detail the brutality of the battle on the front line, the death of the guard general and Xie Qianqiu's collaboration with the enemy, and then talked about the critical situation of the Green Forest Army approaching the city. However, here, he did not focus on it. He wrote about Sun Erniang's passage with pen and ink, but he wrote about how he dealt with it calmly, how he took the lead, and so on. The writing was so colorful that everyone who read it felt that the war situation at that time was tragic and that Lang Shilong's hard work was great.
Lang Shilong wrote the letter in one breath, and felt extremely comfortable. He sealed the letter with wax and sent his personal attendants to rush to Bianliang, Tokyo.
【Xiaguicheng】
In the Juyi Hall, which was converted from the former government office, there was a deathlike silence. Shi Jin was sitting on the commander's seat in the middle, Wu Yong and Zhu Wu were sitting on the left side, and Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Lei Heng were sitting on the right side. , Yang Zhi, everyone present had a trace of solemnity and a trace of anxiety on their faces, but Shi Jin did not speak, and no one dared to speak.
At this time, Shi Jin had a gloomy face and his eyes fell heavily on the kneeling person in the hall. This person had been stripped of his armor, his upper body was cut off and his hands were trapped behind his back. The person lowered his head. He didn't say a word, as if he knew he was guilty.
Shi Jin gritted his teeth, and spoke slowly with a look of hatred for steel, "Zhang Qing, when you first came here, you entertained everyone, but Shi Qian rode alone into the enemy's formation that night and folded inside. This Do you know the matter?"
"I know," Zhang Qing knew what Shi Jin meant.
Shi Jin nodded and continued: "We spent a lot of effort to rescue him. For the sake of brotherhood, we spared him. However, I also immediately made a rule. Do you know about this? ,"
"I know," Zhang Qing said with no emotion at all: "Those who act without authorization will be punished as violating the order."
"Since we all know, why do you still send troops without authorization," Shi Jin slammed the table and shouted: "Shi Qian attacked without authorization, and I didn't deal with it. Wu Song made the decision without authorization, and handed the city he got into the arms of 'others', and I didn't either Do you think that the Green Forest Army has no laws and regulations?" Shi Jin said angrily: "It's just the beginning now, and it's so disorganized and without military discipline. If you continue to indulge it, won't you all have it tomorrow? Each one supports his own troops, is this Green Forest Army still a Green Forest Army?"
No one spoke, everyone was silent.
"Knowingly committing a crime and flouting military discipline will be punished with an additional penalty," Shi Jin shouted at the silent Zhang Qing, "Are you aware of your crime?"
"I know the crime," Zhang Qing said word by word: "Of course I know the crime and I can't blame anyone. It's just my lack of ability. If I really took advantage of the chaos and captured Pucheng, I wouldn't be kneeling here now."
"To this day, you are still so stubborn," Shi Jin yelled, "I ask you, do you know that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a legend that has been passed down through the ages, 'Kong Ming killed Ma Su with tears',"
"I have heard a little about it," Zhang Qing said, "but I just don't understand why Shu has to kill good ministers since it is short of soldiers and generals. The final defeat of Shu proves that military discipline is important, but no matter how good military discipline is, It is no match for a fierce general who dares to charge into battle. I will fight tooth and nail to charge forward, so that the world will not be yours, Commander-in-Chief."
After Shi Jin heard this, he immediately retorted: "Then what you mean is that I, Shi Jin, don't know how to deal with the world. You sacrificed your life, but I let you go and kill your brother."
Zhang Qing did not speak, but he raised his head and looked at Shi Jin, gritted his teeth and said: "There is no reward for merit, and there is no escape for guilt. This is you, Jiuwenlong Shi Jin,"
"What I do will be decided by the people of the world. It's not that I, Shi Jin, am cruel, it's just you who has no military discipline. You should be beheaded to show the public to correct military law." Just after Shi Jin finished speaking, all the generals in the hall were Startled.
Everyone knows that military discipline is as high as a mountain, and Shi Jin has always acted vigorously and resolutely. This time, even if he tried to persuade him, he didn’t know where to start, but Wu Song, who was best friends with Zhang Qing, happened to be there. No one in the entire hall was willing to stand up and intercede for him. Zhang Qing He nodded as if admitting defeat, and said to Shi Jin: "Shi Jin, I respected you as a man, so I came all the way here to join you, but I didn't expect that you would use me to test military law. Good, good, good,"
Shi Jin also couldn't bear it, but if he really let Zhang Qing go, then what he said would have no weight in the future. He was a commander, and he was not a commander at all. Shi Jin gritted his teeth and wanted to do great things. In the world, one cannot be fettered by the benevolence of a woman. Thinking of this, Shi Jin's heart trembled, he shouted that someone was coming, waved his hand, and said: "Push it down, and behead it..."
"Shi Jin," Zhang Qing was a little dissatisfied, and immediately shouted: "You don't know what is good, I, Zhang Qing, am blind,"
Shi Jin did not say anything back, but stared at Zhang Qing with a pair of eyes, with a complicated luster, as he watched the sergeant come forward and drag Zhang Qing out.
Zhang Qing couldn't stop cursing all the way. He was dragged out of the Juyi Hall, put in a prison car, and escorted by five or six soldiers of the Green Forest Army to the gate of the military camp to be beheaded. Just after turning two alleys, in full view of everyone, he suddenly walked out of the gate. A man jumped out of the alley on the side. This man was dressed in black and covered his face. He moved forward slowly, raised his hand and hit the neck with a blow, killing the two Green Forest Army soldiers walking behind. He was beaten until he fainted and fell to the ground with two thumps, causing the people around him to scream. The officers and soldiers in front noticed something was wrong and turned around, but they didn't expect the masked man in black to follow up in two steps. He slashed left and right with his fleshy palm, beating all the way, knocking the remaining three or four to the ground. Before they could struggle, the man in black had already jumped onto the prison car, slapped the horse driving it hard, and seized the As they walked along, the horse ran wildly in pain, and within a short time it left the green forest troops who had climbed up to chase behind them among the stunned people.
The car drove all the way out of the north gate and left the official road for more than 20 miles. It stopped in a dense forest. Zhang Qing looked at the masked man in black in the prison car. He saw this man with a heavy back and a heavy waist. , the tights clinging to his body were lean and sturdy, but blood gradually seeped out from inside the clothes. Before Zhang Qing could say anything, he saw this man jump out of the car, took out the dagger from his boots, and pulled the prison car into his hand. He pried off the lock and let Zhang Qing out. With a knife, he cut off all the hemp ropes that bound Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing bowed her head, but was held by the man. Zhang Qing raised her head and saw the man's only exposed eyes.
Zhang Qing frowned and was about to speak.
The man had already pulled down his mask. This man was none other than Zhang Qing's former subordinate, Lian Yi, who became famous in the first battle in Xiagu City. At this time, Lian Yi's forehead was already covered with large drops of sweat. , the lips were a little white, and the wounds all over his body were torn apart due to the violent exercise just now, and a trace of blood oozed out. Lian Yi took a bag of silver from his arms and said: "Brother, the one in front of me You have to walk the road on your own, and there’s only so much I can do to help you. The road ahead will become more dangerous every step of the way, so please take care.”
Zhang Qing nodded. He knew what Lian Yi meant. He patted Lian Yi on the shoulder and said: "Your sister-in-law is still there, so there is nothing to worry about. You can rest in peace and recover, and help the commander well in the future." , there will be a day when the brothers will reunite,"
Lian Yi nodded and said, "Well, take care, brother."
"Take care," Zhang Qing said, and said goodbye to Lian Yi. Lian Yi quietly returned to Xiagui City. Not to mention, Zhang Qing said goodbye to Lian Yi and drove the prison car to the north in a hurry. After walking less than twenty miles, they encountered a small group of cavalry, all wearing silver helmets and armor, and they met Zhang Qing from afar.
Zhang Qing knew that these men and horses were spying from Pucheng, so he turned around and drove the prison car to the east. It was very strange for a naked man to drive a prison car, but now this strange behavior attracted the attention of those spying horses even more. Attention, the officers and soldiers deceived him into leaving him alone, so they came quickly, surrounded Zhang Qing, and interrogated him for a few words. When they saw that Zhang Qing was incoherent, they immediately kidnapped him and took him back to Pucheng as a spy.
These scouts brought Zhang Qing into Pucheng City, and were about to send him to the patrol room for a thorough interrogation according to the usual procedures. However, the soldier guarding the city gate recognized Zhang Qing immediately when he saw him. , after all, Zhang Qing led his troops to be arrogant in front of Pucheng a few hours ago, and his scolding appearance left an impression in everyone's mind, especially the Shenwu who used a simple sword to kill the big man under the city. It was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. This time, when all the officers and soldiers saw Zhang Qing's devastated look, who could not be surprised, they immediately reported this to Lang Shilong.
When the officer reported to the house, Lang Shilong was planning to hold a banquet to entertain Sun Erniang. Immediately after hearing this, he felt happy and a little worried. Sun Erniang saw his expression and said deliberately: "Since we have captured this guy, Here, why not interrogate this, and maybe there is some military information about the Green Forest Army, and then escort him to the capital together with Xie Qianqiu. It turns out that Mr. Lang has done another amazing job."
Lang Shilong laughed dryly after hearing this. He didn't want Sun Erniang to know about his relationship with the Green Forest Army, so he could only prevaricate: "It's all thanks to Erniang's blessing. Once you come, everything will go smoothly. Let's have a drink." , Eat well, it won’t be too late to try again tomorrow,” Lang Shilong wanted to prevaricate Sun Erniang, but he tried to get the best of both worlds in the middle of the night.
However, unexpectedly, Sun Erniang knew his thoughts clearly in her heart. She immediately put down her chopsticks and said: "I'm going to review it first. It's not too late to eat when I get back. If I keep it in my heart and chew it tastelessly, I will ruin this table of delicious food." ,"
Lang Shilong laughed twice, but had no choice but to obey Sun Erniang and walked to the patrol room with his escort.
