Chapter 148: Abide by Your Duty
Hunting in the wilderness, the army poured out from the Jiangling city gate like a tide, coldly watching these Shu soldiers deploy a formation to him under his nose, Liu Zhang buckled the hilt of the sword, his face was frosty, and more than ten generals behind Xiao Furong, Zhang Ren, Hao Li, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Sha Moke, Gan Ning, and Wei Wen stood coldly, exuding a silent killing intent.
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, raised his arm, and with a small wave of force, the general Gao Pei carried the horse out.
"Phew."
Gao Pei rode alone in front of Wei Yan's army and stopped, stood on horseback, and said loudly: "The lord is here, and he orders Wei Yan to meet him quickly, otherwise he will be punished as a rebellion." ”
The voice was loud, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army with guns and spears whispered endlessly.
Wei Yan sat on the tall horse, looking at Liu Zhang's army from a distance, the whispering of the soldiers behind him came into his ears, his eyes showed a fine light, and the deputy general Jiang Qing beside him turned his head sideways and said: "General, you have made such a great contribution to the lord's government, and the lord has treated him so slowly, I think the lord has become suspicious of the general, it is better to return to the city temporarily, the lord has few soldiers, and he will not dare to add the crime." ”
Wei Yan didn't reply, and beckoned to Yang Hao, the commander of the pro-soldiers, and Yang Hao stepped out.
Yang Hao turned over and dismounted ten meters away from Liu Zhang's army array, and bowed: "The last general Yang Hao, General Wei Yan bowed to the lord, because Jiangling is new, the defense can not be negligent, and the lord is specially invited to enter the city. ”
"Zigui has been captured?" Several Sichuan army generals whispered, all of them happy.
"Shut up." Zhang Rensen glanced at the generals coldly, and the generals suddenly realized their abruptness, and immediately fell silent.
Liu Zhang looked forward coldly, his eyebrows seemed to be dripping with frost, a general with a little brain, who didn't know Wei Yan's intention to call people to spread the word, what 70,000 defenders defeated the Jingzhou army and captured Zigui Yiling, this is clearly a threat, it is Wei Yan who is threatening with great merit and tens of thousands of troops that originally belonged to him.
Liu Zhang felt that his anger was almost uncontrollable, and the tip of the hilt of his sword sank deep into the dirt.
It seems that he has mistaken this Wei Yan, and his ambition exceeds his ability, "I, Liu Zhang, want to see how you managed to pack up the 80,000 troops in a few months." ”
With a cold snort, Liu Zhang glanced at the sun in the sky, inserted the hilt of the sword into the grass, pointed to the sword shadow on the ground and said to Yang Hao: "You go back and tell Wei Yan that the official is waiting for him here, if the sun is in the middle of the day, he has not come here alone, kneel down for the official, Wei Yan is my Yizhou rebel general, my Yizhou's mortal enemy, I will let him crush his bones and scatter ashes." Plus, there's your dog's head. ”
Liu Zhang's words were a little cold, and his cold eyes stared straight at Yang Hao, Yang Hao looked at each other slightly, only to feel that his whole body was stiff and out of breath, his head was lowered, and his eyelids did not dare to raise it.
"Get out."
Yang Hao hurriedly got up, got on the horse twice and fell down, and only climbed up the third time, and galloped towards the formation in a panic.
Liu Zhang held the hilt of his sword in his hand and stared at Wei Yan's army formation motionlessly, "If the 80,000 troops really rebelled with Wei Yan, I, Liu Zhang, am not worthy of being this Yizhou pastor, even if I am dead here today, I will not be wronged." ”
"Drive."
Yang Hao hit the horse back to the battle, feeling that the horsewhip was weak, as if the strength of the whole body had been lost, and even his body could not sit firmly on the horse as usual, turned over and dismounted, and almost collapsed directly.
"Report, report to the general, the lord orders you to visit the lord at once, if the sun is in the middle of the day and you have not yet seen the lord, you will be punished as a rebellion."
After Yang Hao finished speaking, he stepped aside, his chest rising and falling with his heart.
"See you alone?" Jiang Qing frowned and said: "General, the lord is obviously threatening the general, if the general goes to visit him alone at this moment, it will be unfortunate, the general has made such a meritorious service, and is still subject to such suspicions, we might as well defend the city pass first, the lord is less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, absolutely helpless, when the time comes, General Wei wants to show his loyalty, or...... It's not too late. ”
"Or what?" Wei Yan asked in a deep voice.
Wei Yan was bold and rough, but his subtle thoughts were hidden in the atmosphere, and Jiang Qing couldn't figure out Wei Yan's thoughts for a while, so he didn't dare to speak.
Wei Yan stroked his forehead and glanced at the sunlight in the sky, then at the shadow of the war horse shrunk into a ball, and asked Yang Hao next to him with slanted eyes: "What is the lord's expression, attitude, and tone." ”
"Very angry, with murderous intent." Yang Hao recalled and replied tremblingly.
Wei Yan nodded, and Jiang Qing next to him said: "In this way, the general should wait for a while, the general is handsome and talented, and he has great achievements, I believe that after a long time, the main guild will figure it out, even if it can't figure it out......" Jiang Qing stopped again.
"If you can't figure it out, you will mutiny, right?" Wei Yan said unabashedly. He asked Jiang Qing again: "Captain Jiang, if I would become independent from Jiangling, or if I would serve Liu Biao, would you follow me?" ”
"The last general will definitely swear to the death." Jiang Qing hugged his sword and bowed.
Wei Yan nodded, turned to Yang Hao again, and said coldly, "What about you?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Yang Hao said, obviously Liu Zhang's sentence: In addition, there is your dog head. It echoed in his ears, but he couldn't say half a word of allegiance to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan's sword glowed with cold light in the sun, and slowly came out of its sheath, Jiang Qing glanced at Yang Hao, and snorted disdainfully, not knowing the things of current affairs.
Wei Yan's sword had already been pulled out halfway, Yang Hao was sweating profusely, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say rationally, as if he was afraid of something, Yang Hao didn't know what he was afraid of, but it was definitely not Wei Yan's sword, and finally simply closed his eyes.
"Poof."
The sword entered the flesh, Jiang Qing glanced at the long sword on his chest, turned his head to Wei Yan with difficulty, his eyes flashed with doubt, he never thought that Wei Yan would kill him, and Yang Hao and other generals on the side also looked at this scene in shock.
Wei Yan stirred the sword body a few times, pulled out the sword, Jiang Qing fell down the horse, Wei Yanle turned the horse's head, faced the army, raised the bloody sword, and said loudly: "See? This is the end of betraying the lord, you listen, you are all soldiers of Uncle Liu Huang of Yizhou, when you know your identity at any time, know your duty, who dares to overstep, Jiang Qing is your end, do you understand? ”
"Understood." The three armies responded loudly, and these soldiers began to confront their lord's army from afar, trembling and frightened.
At this time, when he heard Wei Yan say this, he suddenly felt that the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his shouting was extremely loud.
Wei Yan returned the sword into the sheath and said loudly: "All the soldiers listen, the general will go to meet the lord immediately, no matter what the result is, even if he is beheaded, no one is allowed to move, Yang Hao takes over the military power, and anyone who dares to disturb the morale of the army, no matter who it is, will be beheaded immediately." ”
"Yes." Yang Hao looked at Wei Yan fixedly, paused, and replied loudly, he didn't expect this to be the result.
"Drive." Wei Yan threw his sword to Yang Hao, did not bring any weapons, and rode alone towards Liu Zhang's army formation.
