Zhao Cheng had never felt so aggrieved before. He rubbed his hands and said, "I have a bad temper! Yuan Zhang, are you old and confused or have Alzheimer's disease?"
"We brothers have all taken the risk to swim to the other side, and we are still going to make up an excuse to lie to you because we are afraid of death?"
"You don't have to get angry in a hurry." Yuan Zhang snorted coldly, took a step towards the lake, and said: "Come and take a look. They are cooking on the other side at this time. Look at their smoke. Compared with the number of people in the past, there are
Increase?"
"Look at the surface of the lake and the bottom of the Dusk Bridge. I sent people down to investigate this morning. There are no problems."
"You said that Yang Qingzhi would come to catch me from this small dirt road to the west. Now go down and try it yourself. The water can cover your head, but this road is still impossible to walk!"
Yuan Zhang took a step towards Zhao Cheng, took a step closer to him, and said: "The water level of this small dirt road is gradually decreasing. I can find it because I have been staying by Weihu Lake for ten years! How long has Yang Qingzhi been here? How can he
Found it? But the king told you about it yesterday, so you know it."
"What a pity. I said that the water level on the small dirt road is gradually lowering, but it won't be lowered tomorrow. How did Yang Qingzhi's five thousand people get here? Did they all hold their breath and swim over?"
Yuan Zhang shook his head and said: "Zhao Cheng, your lie has too many loopholes."
Zhao Cheng took a step back and staggered a little.
Yuan Zhang chuckled, stroking his beard and said, "What's wrong? Were you found out?"
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced." Zhao Cheng clasped his fists at Yuan Zhang and said sincerely: "I used to say that some people are self-righteous and pretentious. But until today! I have never really seen what it means to be self-righteous! Champion
King, please accept my respect, you are truly the most self-righteous person in the world!!"
Yuan Zhang turned sideways, continued to look at the lake, and said: "I am old and it is useless to provoke the generals. I have been on the battlefield for many years and never believe others' words. The facts must be analyzed through various aspects of the situation."
Tuotie Wuhua interjected: "Your Majesty, even if what the consort said is a lie, then your inspection is over, how about we return to the camp overnight?"
"You are confused!"
Yuan Zhang glared at Tuotie Wuhua and said: "Where have I finished my inspection? I have to observe the water level of this small dirt road for several days in a row before I can judge the approximate time when I can touch someone quietly. I
I told you yesterday that this is a good opportunity to attack Southern Zhou, how can we give up?"
Zhao Cheng said leisurely: "The road that comes and goes is a good opportunity to attack Southern Zhou, and it is also a good opportunity to attack Dajing."
Yuan Zhang turned his back to Zhao Cheng and said: "You go, don't let me scaremonger you and affect the morale of the army. I keep my word. If you leave Yunjing County, I will let Yang Qingzhi give you a woman."
Pretend you don’t know.”
"I really don't want to accompany you anymore!"
Zhao Cheng turned around and walked away, saying as he walked: "If you don't leave, you will die when Yang Qingzhi comes to fight you tomorrow!"
"Consort! Consort!!" Tuotie Wuhua shouted from behind.
Zhao Cheng ignored it and left quickly with his people.
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry about him."
Yuan Zhang looked at the lake and said: "The Southern Zhou Dynasty will not be destroyed, and it will die of old age in Yunjing. I am getting old, and I will probably die of old age in Yunjing. But as long as I am still here, I will never let the Southern Zhou army step in
One step ahead of Yunjing City!"
…
"This guy is really stupid!"
"Return the war god of Zhennan, return the champion!"
"Shit!"
Zhao Cheng and his party left the military camp and headed towards Yunjing City, cursing all the way.
Everyone was silent, knowing that Zhao Cheng had been wronged. It had been a long time since he had been so angry.
"How could a person like this, with such a brain, help my brother-in-law seize power in the first place?"
"Could it be that those powerful officials back then were stupider than him?"
“Then it’s really easy to be the emperor of Dajing!”
Heng Wenhao quickly said: "Consort, be careful what you say!"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhao Cheng slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Don't blame Guard Heng, he was so angry that he went crazy."
Heng Wenhao said in a deep voice: "The Champion King did not handle this matter properly, because he seems to have lost his mind because of his prejudice against the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhao Cheng said leisurely: "Actually, I can understand. Think about it, Wen Tai, the three most powerful and coaxing people at that time, now holds the power in the court, is a very popular minister, and is still young. Although my father has been idle,
But I have achieved military exploits, been made a general, and married a princess. Hasn’t the presence of the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion become stronger?”
"He was the only one who made an oath to immortalize Yun Jing in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and trapped himself in a prison. Who can blame him?"
Zhao Cheng rode on the horse and sneered.
"Master, actually I overheard something while eavesdropping on the conversation between Yang Qingzhi and Zuo Zhu." Yuan Fei followed up and said.
"What else did they say?" Zhao Cheng slowed down.
Yuan Fei said: "Yang Qingzhi expressed his respect for the Champion King in his words, saying that if he hadn't guarded Yunjing for ten years, his father would have captured Yunjing County long ago. He also said that if it weren't for the Champion King, he would never have
If we take one step away from the border and take advantage of Dajing's army to penetrate deep into Yedan, he can lead the troops and capture Yunjing County."
"Yang Qingzhi also told something. He said that three years ago, the daughter-in-law of the champion king and his youngest grandson were playing by Weihu Lake. They were intercepted by a group of bandits who fled to Weihu Lake. The bandits came from the daughter-in-law of the champion king.
After learning her identity from his mouth, he sold her to the Southern Zhou Army at a high price."
"At that time, Yang Zhanbei negotiated terms with the Champion King, saying that he did not want you to give up the city. As long as you gave up two bridges and allowed the Southern Zhou Army to build fortifications on the bridges, he would help you redeem your daughter-in-law and grandson. Otherwise.
, then let them fend for themselves, depending on their luck."
"There are several bridges in Weihu Lake. Two bridges are nothing, but they will change the Zhennan Frontier Army's strategy to deal with the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The champion king ignored his son's plea and refused to take the sheep to Zhanbei, causing his daughter-in-law and grandson to be killed by the wandering bandits.
Lake. The son of the champion king asked the champion king to send troops to hunt down the bandits. The champion king took the overall situation into consideration and refused to use troops. In anger, his son took his few soldiers to hunt down the bandits and take revenge. In the end, he and the bandits
Both sides suffered losses and died in Weihu Lake."
"Yang Qingzhi said that although this lake was shared by Dajing and Southern Zhou Dynasty, it was actually a barrier to Dajing."
"A fortress made of the corpses of Dajing soldiers."
"A barrier built with the blood of the champion king's relatives."
"Actually, the barrier to the great realm is the champion..."
After a pause, Yuan Fei pondered: "This is also the reason why Yang Qingzhi insists on getting rid of the champion king."
Zhao Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Why are you telling me this? Is it because you hope... that we can help him?"
"I will not influence the master's thoughts. I am saying this because I feel very strange." Yuan Fei said seriously: "The Champion King is such a powerful person, why is he so stupid when it comes to the master's matter?"
?”
Zhao Cheng suddenly tightened the reins of his horse, raised his head in confusion, and looked at the outline of Yunjing City in the distance.
