"Your Majesty, there is a general with five thousand Jizhou soldiers and horses at the pass." After Jingxing Pass, Wang Dang was enjoying the food and wine plundered from Changshan, and several young girls kidnapped from the countryside were tremblingly giving them to him. He beat his legs and back, and waited carefully.
Wang Dang squinted his eyes in enjoyment, opened his mouth and took a sip of the wine offered by a girl, without raising his head he said: "Oh, close the city gate tightly, it's okay if you don't want to fight,"
A confidant general next to him said: "General, the enemy soldiers have come from afar and are tired. If they are ready to send troops, why not go to the pass to investigate. If there is an opportunity, we can go out and fight for a while. If not, it is not too late to come back and have a drink." ,"
Wang Dang lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he thought about it, it was indeed true. Being trapped in a dangerous situation without fighting a battle really made the Black Mountain Army lose its reputation. Outsiders might think it was because they were afraid of the Jizhou soldiers.
Wang Dang nodded immediately and said: "What you said makes sense. Just follow me and see who is so bold that a mere five thousand soldiers and horses dare to attack Jingxing Pass where I am stationed by twenty thousand people." After that, Wang Dang immediately dressed up and went straight to the gate. He saw a group of soldiers fighting outside the city, speaking obscene words that were almost inaudible.
Wang Dang did not listen carefully to what the sergeants under the city were saying. His attention was obviously on this group of Jizhou soldiers. He called them a "group" rather than a detachment because there really weren't many soldiers among these five thousand soldiers. They looked like soldiers. A group of people were sparsely standing or sitting there. There was no formation at all. The ranks were uneven and the flags were uneven. They were just a bunch of rabble. If we say they are a group of officers and soldiers, it is better to say they are a group of thieves without military discipline. , that is, the 20,000 troops under Wang Dang's command are more disciplined than the 5,000 people under the city.
Wang Dang was surprised at first. He had always heard that Zhang Liao was strict in running the army. Could it be that there was some fraud? After careful inspection, he suddenly realized that he saw a general in the city who not only Wang Dang knew, but also his old acquaintance, Yu Du.
No wonder these five thousand soldiers and horses were so scattered. It turned out that the leader was a bandit, and it was the commander of the Heishan army Qu Du who Wang Dang had known for a long time.
Wang Dang was determined, and immediately led three thousand troops to the pass. He pointed his sword at Yu Du and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Marshal. I didn't expect you to be the cannon fodder for Zhang Liao's son. Today you and I meet, Yu Da." Why don't you just join my coach? There will definitely be a place for your elder brother in the position of coach."
Yu Du snorted coldly and cursed: "Bah, although I, Yu Du, am not as good as your marshal Zhang Yan, I am still a marshal. How can I be so humiliated by you? Besides, today I am under the command of my lord Zhang Liao. "You are the captain of the army and the vanguard of the army. How can you be a thief again? The king is a common man. Do you have the courage to challenge me?"
When the king heard this, he was very angry and said: "You don't have to offer me a toast to the poisonous man. Since you don't appreciate it, let me come and take your head." After that, he slapped his horse and danced his sword to take the poisonous man.
Li Damu was also unambiguous and raised an iron spear to greet Wang Dang.
The two men handed over their horses in front of the formation, and fought for more than ten rounds in the blink of an eye. Yu Du seemed to be unable to resist Wang Dang, so he feinted with his spear and pulled his horse away. When Wang Dang saw Yu Du's pus, he laughed wildly, pointed the tip of his spear, and the sound of drums sounded. In the masterpiece, thousands of Montenegrin troops attacked and killed the retreating Jizhou troops.
Seeing that their general had been defeated, the Jizhou soldiers had no intention of fighting. They roared and fled as if the camp had been blown up. Wang Dang led his troops to pursue them for ten miles. When they met Qu Yi's Chinese army, they were afraid that they would be outnumbered, so they raised their victorious troops and advanced. go.
Yu Du returned to Qu Yi's camp in embarrassment. He saw Qu Yi sitting high in the tent. Leng shouted when he saw Yu Du and glared angrily at him. He slapped the table and said: "Yu Du, you lost troops and generals in front of the formation, and you dare to come back to see me."
Yu Du fearfully bowed and said: "The general will finally realize his crime, and the king must be brave. I am invincible. Please forgive me, general."
Qu Yi was not at all conceited, he snorted coldly to himself: "You were originally a bandit from the Black Mountains. You are from the same family as Zhang Yan and Wang Dang. You lost in front of the battle today. You must have wanted to make a good relationship with Zhang Yan so that you can do well in the future. A spy who cooperates inside and outside,"
Yu Du knelt down in panic and said: "General, I am very loyal to my lord. How could I do such an unfaithful and unjust thing?"
Qu Yi shouted loudly: "Hmph, don't say anything more. Yu Du colluded with the bandits and plotted against our army. He was dragged out and beheaded by me." Several warriors came in with swords and axes in their hands and dragged them with murderous intent. Zhu Yudu walked outside the tent.
Li Damu left duty and said angrily: "How can the general reason so unreasonably? Since Yu Xiaowei has taken refuge with the lord and has washed away his reputation as a gangster, there is no reason for him to become a thief again. You are obviously slandering others and framed Xiaowei."
Qu Yihu stared and said: "How dare you, why did I feel that something was missing just now? It turned out that you were missed. You two are both from the Montenegrin Army. If you intercede for Yu Du, you will definitely intercede with the king." When there is a private connection, if someone comes, I will also capture this person and push him out to behead him."
Sun Jin also advised: "General, please calm down. The rebellion of the two generals has not been verified. It would be unfair to convict the two of them so rashly. It may be unfair to spread the word. General, please think twice..." The other generals and majors also joined in. Poison, Li Damu begged for mercy.
Qu Yi seemed to be persuaded and lowered his head without saying a word, but Li Damu refused to give in and said: "Huh, we are loyal to our lord, but you are so indiscriminate. You are obviously harboring evil intentions."
Qu Yi was immediately furious and shouted: "I am a great military general, how can you be so arrogant to me? I won't kill you, but I will teach you a lesson. If you come, I will be poisoned and Li Damu will give me a stick." The general will go out,"
The soldiers on guard outside the Chinese army's tent heard a fierce quarrel inside the tent, and had already pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on inside. After a while, they saw several more soldiers carrying military sticks rushing in, and then they saw Yu. Du was escorted out of the military tent, and Li Damu was even worse. He was beaten out with random sticks, and his body was dripping with blood, which made the nearby sergeants who saw this scene whisper.
The news quickly spread throughout the army and reached the ears of some interested people, Ruan Liu was one of them.
Ruan Liu was from Changshan. Because of his strong body, he was selected by Sun Jin to be a military commander. He followed Sun Jin and managed more than a dozen people. He usually protected Sun Jin's safety and lived a comfortable life. .
However, the chief soldier is only Ruan Liu's identity on the surface. Secretly, Ruan Liu has another identity, a spy planted by the Black Mountain Army in Changshan.
The Black Mountain Army has been operating in Changshan for many years, and its influence extends to every inch of Changshan. It is logical and easy to install some spies. In fact, not only Changshan, Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Shangdang are all covered with Zhang Yan's spies. These spies usually do things that are fair and just. In order to work, he would secretly pass on information to the Montenegrin Army at critical moments. This is the reason why Montenegro Zhang Yan was able to dominate Hebei and remained standing for ten years.
Ruan Liu is the person around Sun Jin who can keep abreast of the general trends in Changshan County. His identity is very important, so he has his own method of contacting the Heishan Army. Through this method, Ruan Liu quickly passed the news to Heishan in Jingxing Pass. The handsome little king is in your hands.
At this time, Wang Dang was entertaining this special guest, Li Damu.
