"Death soon? Haha, then I will help you!" Shen Jizhou said sternly.
The eyes he looked at Zhang Buyi were filled with murderous intent.
"Come on, throw it out and kill!" Shen Jizhou suddenly said with a flick of his sleeves.
The guards on the left and right were stunned at first and felt very embarrassed in their hearts. However, the master had orders and they had no choice but to rush up.
Zang Xuanba was so panicked that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and begged in a trembling voice: "My lord, no! My lord, think twice! Zhang Chunyi has been with my lord for many years and has made many contributions. He has fought in the north and south, and charged into battle...Today is just a matter of suffering." He was bewitched by a traitor and only then did he offend the lord. I hope the lord will not argue with him and forgive him!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but kowtow to Shen Jizhou.
"You...want to die with him too!" Shen Jizhou suddenly turned his head and stared at Zang Xuan domineeringly.
"Don't forget that you also issued the military order! I have already said that I will give you another chance. You are already guilty. If you say more, you will be punished too!"
Zang Xuanba was startled and fell to the ground, trembling all over. He only kowtowed and did not dare to say anything.
The guards on the left and right rushed up and without any explanation, dragged Zhang Buyi out of the tent.
At this moment, no one would have thought that Pangji, who had always been tactful, submissive in doing things, and worried about gains and losses, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "My lord! My lord, wait a minute, I have something to say! I have something to say!"
"You...hehe, then tell me!" Shen Jizhou didn't expect that Pang Ji would be like this, so he laughed angrily and stared at him.
Pangji was frightened in his heart and his lips moved, but he still kowtowed and said: "My lord, I think that since I started my army in Bohai, I have won every battle and conquered every attack. The four great generals have made great contributions.
Outstanding. However, this battle with the Xiao thieves resulted in the loss of troops and generals. It is even more heartbreaking to lose two of the four great generals! My lord, our army is in danger of survival in this autumn. The whole camp is full of officers and soldiers, and their morale is low. It is really a waste of time to employ people. Occasionally! Although Zhang Chunyi's crime is unforgivable, he is the most important general of our army. If he is killed like this, who will lead the army and who will fight? Wouldn't it make the soldiers feel chilly? My lord, on this occasion, behead him Killing the general will be detrimental to our army! Please, my lord, think twice!"
Shen Jizhou understood that what Pang Ji said was true, but if he didn't kill Zhang Buyi, how could he establish his authority or vent his anger?
Thinking of this, he became hard-hearted and said coldly: "Zhang Wuyi's crime is unforgivable! There are three crimes. One is that he was ineffective in fighting in front of the formation. Even a little Su Ling couldn't capture him. How can he hope to be old?" Zhangcheng? Secondly, although there are doubts about the secret letter, there is no smoke without smoke. Whether he did it or not is still unknown. How can a person with such deep doubts continue to lead the army? Thirdly, mistakenly believe in rumors and mess with us. In terms of military morale, if you commit a small crime and disrespect your lord, is this the way of a general? With these three crimes, how can you not kill him?"
As he spoke, he said sternly: "Don't say too much, Zhang Chunyi won't forgive me!"
"This..." Pang Ji was speechless, but still kneeling there.
Seeing Zhang Chunyi being pushed further and further away, all the generals in the tent looked at each other, knelt down, kowtowed and said in unison: "General, please think again, lord! We will plead for Zhang Chunyi's life, and hope that the lord will be fair to him." Pay the penalty and make meritorious service!"
"You! You guys!" Shen Jizhou never expected such a situation.
Suddenly, in a fit of shame and anger, he overturned the table and the objects on the table were scattered and rolled everywhere.
"Okay! Okay!
One by one, you pushed me too far! You went against it! You went against it! Are you the lord or am I the lord in Bohai! No forgiveness! No forgiveness! Today I swear to kill Zhang Buyi! I will never change my mind!" Shen Jizhou was angry. I felt dizzy and almost fell down.
All the generals looked at each other, and the situation became deadlocked for a while.
Someone has to smooth things over, otherwise no one will be able to end the situation if the stalemate continues.
Guo Tu, who was on the sidelines, observed the words and expressions, especially secretly seeing that the general's expression was more or less dissatisfied with him, and he also felt uneasy in his heart.
If Zhang Wuyi is really killed, the Bohai Sea will be really in danger. The Guo family is also in the Bohai Sea. How can they forgive him then? Furthermore, don't these tiger and wolf warriors want to kill him first?
No, no...
Thinking of this, Guo Tu suddenly stepped out with a rather awe-inspiring expression. For someone who didn't know the truth, he really felt like he was asking for help.
"Lord... Tu Youyan..."
Shen Jizhou glanced at him, and now he could really listen to Guo Tu's words more or less, and he didn't have any resentment against him. His expression softened and he said: "What does Guo Qing want to say? "
Guo Tu said loudly: "Zhang Chuyi's crime is so great. This is how my lord dealt with it. If he really killed him, he deserved it. But what you said is reasonable. Since Zhang Chuyi sent out the army, although he has not done much, he has deserved it." Akira, but he is not at fault. In several battles, he often charged forward and was not afraid of death, but he did his duty as a general..."
When he said this, he glanced at Shen Jizhou secretly and saw that his eyes were moving, as if he was thinking about something.
Guo Tufang cleared his throat again and said, "What's going on today?"
Those who know the inside story, no wonder everyone in the tent, if the lord kills him at this time, there may be evil words. The lord kills a good general for personal reasons, it is nothing more than jealousy of Zhang Chunyi and angering the lord. My lord, if this word spreads , my lord’s reputation has been burdened by a guilty person, how can I have to pay for it!”
Shen Jizhou pondered for a moment, then Fang said in a deep voice: "If it goes according to what you said, how should this matter be handled?"
Guo Tu then cupped his hands and said: "My lord, as Tu sees it, whether it is Zhang Buyi or Zang Xuanba, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Tu has a plan that can defeat the Xiao thieves and trap the old Zhang city!"
"Oh?" Shen Jizhou suddenly became interested and said loudly: "There is such a clever plan. Guo Qing will tell you in detail."
"The sages have said that soldiers are crafty! Today our army fought with Xiao Yuanche, and although there was no progress, it was still effective. After a fierce battle, I saw that Xiao Yuanche's army was very depleted of energy. The army is exhausted, and I think that Xiao Yuanche will definitely order the entire army to rest and reorganize tonight, waiting for another battle tomorrow. The Xiao thieves have few soldiers, so the defense will be relaxed tonight. If the lord sends Zhang Buyi and Zang Xuanba to lead a night attack with elite troops Jiuzhang, one battle can be successful!"
Hearing this, Pang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, Xiao Yuanche was a dim-witted person, how could he not have expected this? If he really rashly attacked Jiuzhang at night tonight, it would be tantamount to death.
But he knew that no matter what he said now, Shen Jizhou would not listen, and he might even offend him.
At this time, it is better to use your safest method and protect yourself wisely.
Therefore, Pang Ji was speechless.
Guo Tu was so excited that he raised his hand and said: "My lord, Zhang and Zang have already issued a military order to attack Jiuzhang tonight. Let's see if they can do their best. If they succeed,
, my lord can let go of the blame as a sign of leniency. If that fails, it’s not too late to kill them again to make the two crimes equal!”
Shen Jizhou thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Push Zhang Buyi back!"
After a while, Zhang Wuyi was pushed back by the soldiers again.
Shen Jizhou looked at Zhang Wuyi and said: "Zhang Wuyi, did you hear this? This is your last chance. Let me ask you, are you willing to join Zang Xuanba in a sneak attack on Jiuzhang tonight?"
When Zhang Chunyi heard this, he immediately made up his mind and would rather die than refuse. However, Zang Xuanba tugged at the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice: "Wanyi, you will have a useful life before you argue! Listen to me. !”
Zhang Wuyi's expression darkened, and he kowtowed: "Zhang Wuyi, the guilty criminal, is willing to go!"
Zang Xuanba also quickly kowtowed and said: "The guilty general is also willing to go with us!"
Shen Jizhou nodded and said in a deep voice: "In that case, how many troops should we lead?"
Zhang Chuyi sneered in his heart, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "How many troops are you willing to give, my lord?"
Shen Jizhou's anger, which he had just suppressed, went straight to the top when he asked him, and said angrily: "You are the commander-in-chief, but you come to ask me!"
Zang Xuanba quickly winked at Zhang Wuyi, and kept kowtowing: "Lord, please calm down! Mr. Wu is just restless. The general thought that two thousand elite light cavalry would be enough!"
Zhang Chunyi looked at Zang Xuanba unexpectedly.
The big city of old Zhangruo, two thousand elite soldiers? I'm afraid even two thousand more won't be able to attack it!
But seeing Zang Xuanba speaking solemnly, Zhang Buyi vaguely felt that there was something inside, so he stopped talking.
Shen Jizhou patted the armrest of his chair and stood up, saying, "Okay! Don't say I'm unkind. You want two thousand soldiers, but I'll give you three thousand elite soldiers. We'll attack Jiuzhang tonight without making any mistakes!"
"Here!——"
...
.........
Outside the tent, Zhang Chunyi and Zang Xuanba walked side by side. After walking for a while, Zhang Chunyi whispered: "Xuanba, you are so confused. If I die today, I can still save you. Why did you agree to tonight?" Attack the old Zhangzhou? That old Zhangzhou is so big, not to mention the abilities of Xiao Yuanche and Su Ling. We only have three thousand people, how can we attack it? When the time comes, you will have to lose your head along with me!"
Zang Xuanba suddenly made a silent gesture, looked around a few times, and then whispered: "We are not far from the handsome tent. If you have anything to say, please come back to my tent!"
............
In Zang Xuanba's tent, Zhang Chuanyi and Zang Xuanba were sitting opposite each other.
Zhang Chuanyi looked disappointed and sighed: "My lord, you listen to slander and don't distinguish between loyal and traitorous people... The Bohai Sea is in danger, and a disaster is imminent!"
Zang Xuanba looked serious and whispered: "Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
He stood up again, went outside the tent and ordered his two confidants to close the tent door and put down the curtain. Then he came back and sat down, lowering his voice and saying: "Ban Yi, I think the same thing as you. ..... Soon after I saw the Bohai Sea, it was swallowed up by Xiao Yuanche!"
Zhang Chunyi nodded and said: "If that's the case, why did Xuanba still agree to the master's attack on Jiuzhang at night? We can only live or die!"
Zang Xuanba said helplessly: "If you don't agree, you will die immediately! If you agree, we may not die..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Buyi with a hint of intent.
Zhang Chunyi saw Zang Xuanba's strange expression and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xuanba, what are your plans?"
Zang Xuanba did not answer directly, but asked in a low voice: "Ban Yi, what do you think of the current lord?"
Zhang Wuyi sighed: "
Brother asked me, and I don’t want to hide it. Now that the lord is weak and dim, he has listened to the slander, and the Qiwei nest has been clearly lost, and our army is in need of food and fodder. At that time, the morale of the army is unstable, but the lord is stubbornly holding on, making fun of the lives of the soldiers, and even more
Fabricating lies in an attempt to confuse the public. Xuanba, guess what I saw in the dense forest today..."
"What?" Zang Xuanba asked.
"Xu Youzhi..."
"What...it's actually him. It turns out that he has surrendered to Xiao Yuanche a long time ago...No wonder Qiweichao will..." Zang Xuanba looked astonished.
"What surprised me was not Xu Youzhi, but the thing on the tray in his hand, which was Ding Xuzhi's head! It was this that led me to conclude that Qiwei's nest had been lost long ago, so there was a question about the tent...
.”
Zhang Chuyi suddenly smiled helplessly and said: "It's a pity that my lord never thought of telling the truth. He even made up a lie about Ding Xu who went out to fight privately and committed suicide. I think that Ding Xu was unyielding until death, but in the end he failed."
How could it not be chilling to commit such an innocent crime?"
He paused and then said: "Not to mention that the lord is lying, even if it is really Ding Xu, the guard of the Qiwei Nest is Ding Mu. This man is violent and immoral, drunk and abusing the soldiers. If it weren't for his brother Ding Xu,
Hold on tight, I'm afraid it's too early
There will be no lawlessness. Even if Ding Xu is dead, how can Pang Ren get into Ding Mu's eyes? What's more, Pang Ren has already issued an order to supervise the army and guard Qiwei's nest. How can Ding Mu listen to him? This is not a joke.
What!"
Zang Xuanba nodded, suddenly raised his sword, and seemed to have made up his mind, saying: "Brother Wu Yi, we are all hot-blooded men, how can we be betrayed by a mediocre lord?"
What's wrong? Is there any useful person left in the world? Why worry about not being able to make contributions? I have already made a plan. The Shen family is ridiculous and the Bohai Sea is in turmoil. Why not abandon it and join Prime Minister Xiao!"
"What! Xuan Ba... you and I are both generals of Bohai, why would you say this..."
Zhang Buyi looked shocked and looked at Zang Xuanba.
"Buan Yi, you are a warrior, how can you be a pedantic scholar? This world is the world of the Jin Dynasty, how could he sink Jizhou? To take a step back, if Shen is virtuous, it will be worth it for us to be messed up. But Shen is now
What have you done? He committed suicide, why should we accompany him?" Zang Xuanba said fiercely.
"This...this...but I followed my lord when I was young. Now that the Bohai Sea is in trouble, how can I bear to betray him?" Zhang Chunyi hesitated, unable to control himself.
"Bun Yi! A real man should keep breaking up, but he will be messed up! Now it's not that we want to betray the Shen family, but that the Shen family doesn't give me a way to survive! The great talent of Bun Yi has a higher level of vision than me, Xiao Yuanche
It's the emperor's personal seal
Prime Minister, he is orthodox in the world's righteousness, emotion and reason. The Shen family is in a corner. It is just because of the family and the name is not right! Why did brother abandon the righteousness and support the treason? Why not surrender earlier!" Zang Xuanba!
Advise.
"This...I still...let me think about it and think about it again!" Zhang Wuyi couldn't help shaking his head.
"Ban Yi! What time has it been... I can't think about it anymore!" Zang Xuanba said anxiously.
He suddenly drew out his sword, threw it towards Zhang Wuyi and said: "I have decided to surrender to Prime Minister Xiao. If you are unwilling, take this sword, take my head, and offer it to the Shen family in exchange for my life."
You will be safe for a moment!"
As he spoke, Zang Xuanba said word by word: "Whatever your will is, it will be decided in one word!"
Zhang Chunyi struggled at first, frowning, and suddenly he slapped the table and stood up. There was no longer any entanglement in his expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's go! If it's like this, if you don't do one thing and don't stop doing the other thing, Zhang Chunyi has rebelled!"
Zang Xuanba was overjoyed and said: "Buan Yi, this is the reason why I pretended to agree to Shen Jizhou's night attack on Jiuzhang! Later you and I will go to the military field to recruit troops. Three thousand elite soldiers, only confidants will be selected. At that time, you and I joined Prime Minister Xiao. You and I are skilled in martial arts and sent elite soldiers to help us. Why worry about the Prime Minister being so weak to me? With our talents, we can fulfill our ambitions!"
"Just as Xuanba said, you and I will order troops now!"
