Chapter four hundred and seventy fourth: Wagang is destroyed
Being pointed by this arrow, the two generals immediately felt a chill. Even though they raised their hands to stop the soldiers and horses behind them, they did not dare to move. If someone took off their outer armor now, they would You will find that the clothes on their backs are already wet with sweat at this moment. Although they are not very old, they are also veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Just the murderous intention brought by this suspense is enough. It was enough for them to understand that this arrow could kill one of them.
These two generals were both smart people. Naturally, they did not dare to gamble with their lives. They could only listen to them honestly. One of the generals, who was burly but with a face as white as paper, shouted at the top of his voice: " In front is Liang Guogong. The last general is Shangluo Hu Benlang General Huo Shiju. Together with General Pang Yu, the general of Hongnong Supervisory Gate, we are ordered to come to Luoyang for reinforcements."
At this time, Wan He finally calmed down. But his face was still very pale. It was obvious that he had been frightened just now. Now that he heard Huo Shiju's shouting, Wan He also had a trace of anger on his face. Immediately Just started scolding: "Damn it, these two bastards actually came to show off their power in front of my young master. Pharmacist, Shubao, Xingyan, Heng'an, and Yaojin. Come on, catch these two bastards for me." Come here and see how I handle them."
This Young Master Wan is so powerful that he really looks like a playboy back in the day. But he is not bragging. These five people under his command are all at the master level. It is easy to deal with Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. Even so. Behind Pang Yu and Huo Shiju were those 10,000 soldiers and horses. But behind Wan He, there were nearly 100,000 people in Luoyang City.
Seeing Wan He getting angry, Li Jing and others also looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Although they were also angry at each other's previous behavior, they also knew that both Pang Yu and Huo Shiju came to Luoyang under the imperial decree. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would definitely He couldn't do anything to them. Li Jing took a step forward, leaned over and whispered a few words in Wan He's ear. Wan He's face softened slightly, snorted coldly, curled his lips, and said to Changsun Heng'an: "Okay. .Let them come over."
After Wan He spoke, Changsun Heng'an put away his bow and arrow. But Pei Xingyan always stood in front of Wan He, staring at Pang Yu and Huo Shiju not far away with an unkind expression. When he saw Changsun Heng'an put away his bow and arrows. Bows and arrows. Pang Yu and Huo Shiju then breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and made a gesture to the army behind them. Pang Yu, who had a short beard on his chin, shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone stay where you are. Don't act rashly." ." After giving these instructions, the two of them rode towards Wan He.
Arriving in front of Wan He, they took a look at Wan He and the others who looked unkind. Pang Yu and Huo Shiju felt a sudden shock in their hearts. They immediately turned over and dismounted. At the same time, they knelt down towards Wan He, cupped their fists and shouted: "Mo General Pang Yu (Huo Shiju). See the Duke of the country."
"Humph." Seeing these two people kneeling in front of him, Wan He still felt very unhappy. But he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Wan He still held back his temper. He snorted coldly: "The two generals came from afar. It has been a hard journey. We are all loyal to the Holy One. Why should we be so polite? Speaking of which, the two generals came all the way from the pass. Did they encounter any interesting things on the way? Nowadays, the road is not peaceful. Everywhere. They are all thieves. Those Wagangzhai thieves who attacked Luoyang before were causing trouble around Luoyang. It's a pity that I don't have enough soldiers and horses. They can barely guard the safety of Luoyang, but they can't send troops to encircle and suppress them. As a result, these thieves It’s a disaster for the people. It’s sad. It’s deplorable.”
Wan He kept talking like this for a long time, but he had no intention of letting the two of them get up. Since Pang Yu and Huo Shiju are battlefield warriors, there will be no discomfort if they kneel on the ground for a longer time. But as The general was kneeling on the ground in front of everyone and could not get up. Now the two of them were humiliated. Both of them were filled with bitterness. Of course they knew that Wan He was deliberately trying to punish them. Who was it? At first, they wanted to show off their power to Wan He. Unexpectedly, this power had no effect. Instead, they wanted to be punished by Wan He in this way.
Wan He kept talking there for half an hour, until his mouth was dry, and then he stopped. Pang Yu and Huo Shiju thought that Wan He was going to wake them up, but they didn't know that Wan He was going to wake them up. He turned over his head and shouted: "Xiao Wu, find me some drinks. Let's talk slowly today." Upon hearing Wan He's words, Pang Yu and Huo Shiju immediately felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Finally, Li Jing, who was next to Wan He, couldn't stand it anymore. He whispered to Wan He: "Master, these two people are sent by the emperor after all. Scholars cannot be killed and cannot be humiliated. Just teach them a lesson. Don't cause trouble." .”
Li Jing opened his mouth. Wan He curled his lips. He could only snort unwillingly and said, "Okay. Get up."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Finally heard these words from Wan He. Pang Yu and Huo Shiju immediately stood up from the ground. Their faces were full of respect. They no longer dared to provoke the petty Liang Guo Gong in front of them. After Pang Yu and Huo Shiju stood up, Pang Yu took a step forward, clasped his fists at Wan He and said, "My lord, these two generals have been ordered by the Holy One to command five thousand elite soldiers each, making the total number ten thousand. I came to Luoyang to help the Duke quell the rebellion. I also ask the Duke for instructions on what to do next."
"Oh, thank you so much to the two generals." Hearing Pang Yu's words, Wan He's lips twitched slightly, revealing a sneer. He hummed, "It's just that the two generals arrived a step too late. Now that the bandits in Wagang Village have been repulsed, the two coming to Luoyang will have no effect."
Wan He's answer did not surprise Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. In fact, if those hundreds of thousands of troops were still in Luoyang, they would not dare to come here to die. They had already received intelligence and knew that Luoyang The Wagang army outside the city had already evacuated, so they came with their troops and horses. Before arriving, the two of them calculated that Wanhe must have suffered heavy losses in order to resist the Wagang army. Their ten thousand soldiers and horses When they arrived in Luoyang, Wan He would definitely be jealous and wanted to seize military power. In order to retain military power, the two of them came up with such a way to gain a head start. However, they did not expect that it would have the opposite effect. Instead, they were punished by Wan He.
But even so, Pang Yu and Huo Shiju still had the last glimmer of hope. After hearing what Wan He said, Huo Shiju immediately said: "My lord, the results of the Battle of Luoyang. The final generals and others have also known about my lord. He is brave and good at fighting, which greatly admires him. However, the imperial edict he received is to completely eliminate the traitors in Wagang Village. Therefore, General Mo is waiting to come to Luoyang this time. He just rests for a day. He will go to Wagang Mountain tomorrow. Suppress the thieves and chaos."
Huo Shiju also made everything clear first, and also deliberately blocked Wan He's mouth. But just after Huo Shiju finished speaking, Wan He sneered and hummed: "It's a pity. The two generals still arrived a step too late. Half a month ago, General Changsun had led his troops to break through Wagang Village. He also ambushed the Wagang army at the foot of Wagang Mountain and killed the bandit chiefs Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin. Now Wagang Village no longer exists. Only some tiles are left. The remnants of the gang are escaping. If the two generals go to Wagang Mountain, they will definitely fail."
"Ah." After Wan He said this, Pang Yu and Huo Shiju immediately raised their heads and looked at Wan He with wide eyes. Their eyeballs were about to fall off. They couldn't believe what Wan He just said. You must know that this Wagang Village has been a disaster for Henan for many years. The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but they all came back in vain. Even the counter-rebellion army, which had been victorious in every battle, was inevitably defeated in the end. The ever-victorious general Zhang Xutuo hated Dahai Temple. Then they fought in Shizihe and captured Luocang, which greatly enhanced the prestige of Wagangzhai. More than 500,000 troops besieged Luoyang. Even the surrounding soldiers and horses did not dare to come to rescue.
Previously, Wanhe repelled the siege of the Wagang army. It can also be understood that this achievement was achieved through the strong defense of Luoyang City. But now Wanhe actually said that Wagang Village has been pacified. This is a big deal for Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. . Undoubtedly, they were listening to fantasy. If the man in front of them hadn't been the Duke of Liang, who held a high and powerful position, they would have immediately slapped him in the face and yelled at him for talking crazy. But the two of them had just offended him. Wan He. At this moment, it was not easy to make Wan He dissatisfied by saying random things. Pang Yu couldn't help laughing a few times and said to Wan He: "The Duke is really funny. Haha."
"Huh." He didn't believe it when he saw the two of them. But Wan He snorted coldly. He pointed back with his thumb and said: "I don't have the leisure and leisure to joke with you. In fact, it was a month ago. I ordered General Changsun to sneak attack the empty Wagang Mountain and defeat Wagang Village in one fell swoop. Half a month ago, the Wagang Army retreated from Luoyang. General Changsun ambushed the Wagang Army at the foot of Wagang Mountain. The thief Chief Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin were even shot dead by General Changsun. Now, I have sealed the heads of those thieves and sent them to Jiangdu. I believe it won’t be long before the emperor will issue a reward."
Wan He's words were like telling a fairy tale. Although Pang Yu and Huo Shiju couldn't believe it, they knew very well in their hearts that Wan He would never lie about this matter. They looked at Wan He with wide eyes. There are all the generals behind him, but I don’t know which one is the General Chang Sun whom Wan He mentioned.
It seemed that he had guessed what Pang Yu and Huo Shiju were thinking. Changsun Heng'an smiled faintly, put the bow and arrow back, took a step forward on his horse, clasped his fists at the two of them and said, "The last general, Changsun Heng'an. My father is Sun Sheng, the former right-wing general of the Xiaowei. The victory over Wagang Village and the annihilation of the Wagang Army in one fell swoop this time was really the result of the Duke’s strategizing and the final calculation of thousands of miles. The general’s contribution is really not worthy of much credit.”
