Chapter 704: Going to the Meeting Alone (Part II)
Xiangyang Water Village, Wuliang Tuoduo's main business......
Ura Todo sat in front of the cabin desk, neither looking at the map nor instructing his men to do anything, but with a restless expression, as if anxiously waiting for something. Uliang Todo looked out of the cabin door, but his hands kept playing with the brush and the Miao knife, two unrelated things, constantly fiddling, which further reflected the contradiction and uneasiness in Uliang Todo's heart......
"Newspaper—" Finally, the soldier's report from outside the cabin seemed to sober up for a while, and the answer to the result he wanted finally came.
"Come on in—" Uliang Todo immediately ordered.
When the soldier entered the cabin, he held a letter in his hand. When Uliang Todo saw it, he asked bluntly, "Has the enemy commander received the news?"
"Got ......," the soldier replied one by one.
"What did he say?" asked Ura Todo as he continued to ask anxiously.
"This is the enemy's reply to your letter to the general—" the soldier said, presenting the letter.
Wuliang Toduo took the letter—it was a letter written by Tang Zhan himself—and after opening the letter, he looked at the contents of the letter one by one, and his expression gradually became a little inexplicable and worried......
The letter had already been read, but Uliang Todo did not react for a long time. The cronies and generals on the side looked worried, so they couldn't help asking, "General, what is written on it?"
Wuliang Tuoduo slowly put down the letter, looked straight at the cabin door and said: "The general of the enemy's navy is the vanguard commander Tang Zhan, he agreed to the request of a meeting with this general Jiang Yi tonight, but it is ......"
"But what?" the general continued.
Ura Todo did not answer, and when he had completely put down the letter, he leaned back slightly, as if he was worried and hesitating about something.
"What the hell, General," the trusted general still asked worriedly.
Tang Zhan said...... "Wuliang Tuoduo finally spoke," he said that there would be no problem with the meeting on the river tonight, but if he really had the courage, the lords of both sides would go alone, without a single soldier and a soldier......
"Don't bring a soldier or a soldier, is it okay to go to the meeting alone......" After hearing this, the general couldn't figure out the intention of Tang Zhan's move.
Wuliang Tuo thought for a while and continued to mutter: "The purpose of my visit tonight is not only to meet Tang Zhan himself, but also to find out Zhao Zichuan's movements...... But tonight he proposed to go to the meeting alone, there would be no conspiracy in it......"
"Of course there is a conspiracy--" The trusted general reminded on the side, "General, you must not fall for Tang Zhan'er's scheme! He said that if you go to the meeting alone, you will really go alone? Who knows if when the time comes, when the general goes, will he plan an ambush on the side...... Don't forget, General, that you are General Zhao Zijin, who killed the enemy with your own hands, and they hate you to the core, and if they do meet, they will not talk about morality in order to take your life, General-"
Wu Liang Todo nodded, and while worried, he agreed with his cronies: "You are right, the enemy is now, and now is a critical period, we must not act carelessly for the sake of temporary bravery......"
The trusted general thought for a while, and then came up with an idea: "General, why don't you go like this? Tonight, the last general will lead twenty escorts, with your ship, to the river to go to the meeting together-if Tang Zhan really comes to the meeting as agreed, we will rely on the formation, forgive him and dare not do anything, and if he also brings the guards to ambush on the side, then we are not afraid, as long as your intention tonight is achieved, general, the enemy is present, there is no moral or immoral ......"
Uliang Todo agreed, and then nodded: "Okay, just do as you say! The time is almost here, you go and prepare the elite guards for twenty, and go with the general in a while——"
"Yes, General—" The close general commanded, and then turned away......
Everything was ready, at the Xiangyang Water Village, Wuliang Tuoduo took his cronies, generals and twenty guards, and went on three wooden boats......
During the day, the river is under fire, and at night, the river becomes quiet and silent. The gentle night breeze is accompanied by the calm flowing river, and at the junction of the two sides of the river, the sparse lights have become the only point of light on the waterway at night. The lonely boat in the river is a unique and dangerous road, the high mountains on both sides of the boat, the dark shadow in the night is quiet and ghostly......
Ura Todo and his entourage slowly sailed towards the junction of the navy, and by the faint light of the enemy camp in front of them, they saw a single tree coming towards each other from a distance. On the single tree, the shadow is clear, a person, a gun, standing alone......
"General, that should be Tang Zhan, the main general of the enemy army, it seems that he really came alone......" Wuliang Tuoduo looked ahead, and the cronies and generals beside him pointed and said.
"He is so sure, he really went to the meeting single-handedly as promised...... Wuliang Tuoduo narrowed his eyes, looking at Tang Zhan's independent figure in the night, and couldn't help but have a burst of suspicion in his heart......
The person who came was indeed Tang Zhan's good, and he really came as the letter said, one person and one boat. Tang Zhan stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, and the pear flower spear stood proudly beside him. Tonight, Tang Zhan drank some wine, and went to the meeting alone without fear, accompanied by the breeze of Jiang Wan, he was even more energetic. Looking at the three wooden boats in front of him slowly approaching, Tang Zhan couldn't help but smile slightly......
Finally, the two sides slowly slowed down at the junction of the river and water, and finally stopped at a distance of ten zhang away......
Tang Zhan and Wuliang Tuoduo, the first meeting between the two generals in the strict sense, can be regarded as meeting on the river......
"Your Excellency is the commander of the vanguard army, Tang Zhan?" asked the prophet without hesitation.
"You are the Xiangyang Guard General Wuliang Tuoduo?" Tang Zhan asked unceremoniously.
"General Tang Zhan is the chief general of your army, not only personally led the naval army to hold the Jiangdao Pass, but also replied to the letter and went here alone, which is really courageous-" Wuliang Tuoduo said politely first.
However, Tang Zhan was not so respectful, and replied without showing any affection: "Is it? General Wuliang said so bluntly, Tang can't afford it...... It's just that Your Excellency seems to have disappointed Tang, and made an appointment to go to the meeting alone, but I didn't expect General Wuliang to still bring people and horses, can you not trust Tang's character?" As he spoke, Tang Zhan glanced at the ships and troops accompanying Wuliang Toduo.
Uliang Tuoduo knew that he was at a loss, but the enemy did not pay attention to morality at present, so he simply replied bluntly: "Although it is a little unsatisfactory to Your Excellency, but the two armies are clashing and deceiving, and I, the main general, have to be careful in doing anything, this is the cautious ...... of marching soldiers."
However, as soon as Wuliang Tuoduo finished speaking, Tang Zhan sneered on the other side: "Hmph, you are wrong, this is not a cautious march, this is a sign of lack of courage! As a general of the first army, he doesn't even have this bit of courage, which really makes Tang look down on him......
When Tang Zhan said this, Wuliang Tuoduo was naturally unhappy all of a sudden, and his expression became solemn, and he didn't plan to continue to give Tang Zhan face.
And before Wuliang Todo could speak, the cronies next to him would take the lead and provoke: "You dare to slander our general, you are too rampant!"
When Tang Zhan heard this, he didn't even look at it, and continued to sneer: "Hmph, I'm talking to your general, is it your turn to speak as a slave?"
"What did you say?" The general was very unhappy when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to immediately step forward and dismantle Tang Zhan.
Ura Todo stopped him with one hand, he knew that tonight's meeting was important, and it was better to stay calm, so he immediately went straight to the point and said, "That's the end of the polite words...... I wonder if General Tang is here tonight, what do you want to mention?"
"I have to ask you this-" Tang Zhan continued with a disdainful expression, "Didn't Your Excellency invite Tang to meet here?"
"Then I'll be blunt, don't worry too much ......about your Excellency," Wuliang Tuoduo asked bluntly, "General Tang will come down for a while today, in addition to witnessing Your Excellency's dignity, there is one thing to ask——"
"What's the problem?" Tang Zhan asked.
Wuliang Tuoduo continued: "I want to know if General Zhao Zichuan Zhao under your military camp is participating in this battle?"
"No—" Tang Zhan replied very crisply.
"Not here?" Ura Todo was puzzled when he heard this, and continued to ask, "Why? I am the enemy who killed his brother, and my ancestors and him are even feuding, so he should be so hated that he should come and break me into pieces immediately, right...... These are not mentioned, before this, Zhao Zichuan and General Zhao's first battle in Shandong was already famous in the north and south of the Yellow River, this is the tiger general in the army, why did he not come to Xiangyang in the first battle? This really doesn't make sense......
After Tang Zhan listened, he was silent for a while, and then "Haha-" looked up to the sky and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Wuliang Tuoduo was feeling strange, and the cronies and generals beside him couldn't get used to seeing no one in Tang Zhan's eyes, and accused angrily.
Tang Zhan laughed for a while, and after recovering, he was staring at Wuliang Tuoduo, still with a nonhesitant expression: "Do you really want to know......?
"What did you say?" Uliang Todo didn't know what Tang Zhan meant, but looking at Tang Zhan's mocking expression, he knew that there must be something wrong with his words and deeds, so he continued to ask, "Why, say ——it quickly" This time, Uliang Todo's tone became more and more unpolite.
Tang Zhan still had the same mocking expression, and continued to smile: "You are right, General Zhao Zichuan Zhao is not only a tiger general in the army, but he is also the head of the five tigers in the vanguard of our army......!
"What the hell do you mean?" Wuliang Tuoduo still didn't understand what Tang Zhan said, and continued to ask coldly.
Tang Zhan seemed to deliberately provoke the other party, and continued to mock: "In the first battle of Xiangyang, dealing with a mediocre talent like General Wuliang, why should General Zhao personally go out on horse, wouldn't that be overkill?"
"You say I'm a mediocre talent?" Uliang Todo was completely enraged this time, and rebuked angrily, "I'm his brother-killing enemy, and he actually looks down on me like this?"
"What about the enemy? Sometimes revenge doesn't have to be done yourself...... Tang Zhan continued to sneer, "Yes, you killed General Zhao's brother, he hates you to the bone." However, before setting out on the expedition, he had already made it clear that he looked down on you at all, and he didn't bother to do it himself when dealing with a vulgar person like you, so he simply let us clean it up and avenge his brother......" Tang Zhan said with a slight relaxed tone, obviously not taking Wuliang Tuoduo seriously.
Tang Zhan's intention in this statement was obvious, obviously to disturb the minds of the enemy generals with the method of agitation, so that Ben had the initiative to attract Zhao Zichuan out of Wuliang Tuoduo, but he was in a mess - I have to say that this radical method is really wonderful, and the subjective and passive positions of Zhao Zichuan and Wuliang Tuoduo were cleverly reversed without moving a single soldier.
What's more, this plan is not what Lu Jing had arrangements and instructions for Tang Zhan before, but a strategy to get along with Tang Zhan under the situation of Tang Zhan - it can be seen that Tang Zhan, who is now the master of an army, is no longer the stupid fool he used to be......
Tang Zhan didn't seem to finish speaking, and continued to sneer: "General Zhao said this about you, I didn't believe it at first, Your Excellency is also a descendant of the famous general Ashu of Mengyuan, how can you have a little courage and courage...... But coming tonight really disappointed Tang - General Zhao is right, you Wuliang Tuoduo is just a mediocre talent, and he was defeated on this river, and he agreed to go to the meeting alone tonight, and he didn't dare to come alone...... You are also a general, so you have no interest at all, if General Zhao sees you, I am afraid that I will feel ashamed to kill you with my own hands......"
This sentence completely made Wuliang Tuoduo lose his calm, Wuliang Tuoduo pulled out the Miao knife, pointed and scolded: "Tang Zhan, don't go too far, you come alone tonight, dare to be so presumptuous, you are not afraid that there will be no return?"
However, Tang Zhan didn't seem to be afraid, he didn't even move the pear flower gun beside him, and said with both hands: "I said, if you have the courage, you will come to the meeting alone......; Although you said 'cautious' and brought so many soldiers to escort you, do you think that with your miscellaneous men, you can kill me Tang Zhan?"
Seeing Tang Zhan's confident expression, Wuliang Tuoduo didn't look like a bluff, and there was not a single soldier beside him, it was impossible to be unprepared if he dared to say such a thing. Unconsciously, looking at Tang Zhan's firm and contemptuous eyes, Wuliang Tuoduo was faintly afraid in his heart......
However, the soldiers beside Uliang Todo didn't think so...... Sure enough, the cronies and generals beside him couldn't bear it at first, raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, pointed at Tang Zhan and said, "Tang Zhan Xiao'er, you don't want to go back alive if you are so presumptuous tonight!"
As he spoke, the bow and crossbow were fired, and an arrow from the string in the night was coming towards the façade of Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan was calm and calm, and he didn't even look at the enemy soldiers, as if in his eyes, these were all minions...... The moment the arrow crossbow flew in, Tang Zhan gently swung the pear flower gun beside him in front of him, only to hear a crisp sound of "ding-" in the night, and the arrow crossbow was bounced off the barrel of the gun, which did not pose any threat to Tang Zhan at all.
"The two armies are fighting, don't kill them, today is your excellency's first ......" Tang Zhan muttered silently...... Suddenly, the pear flower spear in Tang Zhan's hand slashed across the sky, and a golden light flashed, splitting the layers of huge waves that rose from the river - the strength that pierced the sky, the ghostly roar in the night, and the "Eternal Silent Marksmanship" came out of the sky, and the face of the "Blade of Breaking Waves" surging up from the river waves roared away, facing the cronies and soldiers beside Wuliang Tuoduo.
Before the cronies could react, the "Wave Breaking Blade" was in the middle of the forehead......Ah-" screamed, and the golden light surged up The "Wave Blade" split apart. When he looked back, the forehead of the trusted general appeared, and a long blood mark was clearly visible vertically down - a distance of ten zhang, Tang Zhan killed him with one shot......
Tang Zhan killed the enemy general, Wuliang Tuoduo was surprised on the side and did not come back to his senses, and the rest of the ship's guards did not slacken, all drew out ten bows and crossbows, and concentrated and fired towards Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan was calm, put down the pear flower gun in his hand, and faced him with both palms...... "Whoosh swish-" The arrows and crossbows were fired in unison at night, Tang Zhan gathered strength in his palm, and a high-spirited heaven and earth, the power of breaking through the heavens and the earth rose out - the "Splitting Empty Palm" burst out, shaking the layers of huge waves on the river, forming an indestructible barrier, completely blocking the arrows and crossbows shot by the Mengyuan soldiers.
It's not over, until Jiang Lang retreats and sees the position of the enemy soldiers, Tang Zhan pulled out the two bows and crossbows on the left and right of his waist, and the lightning speed was too fast to cover his ears, and several arrows were fired in unison - Tang Zhan's bow and crossbow had a strange shape, and it was a continuous arrow specially created by Xiao Tian with the technique of the mechanism, which could not only make ten arrows in a row, but also be amazingly powerful......
"Ahh......h Within a while, even the crossbow arrows were exhausted, and all twenty of Meng Yuan's guards were killed......
In just a moment, Tang Zhan simply and neatly eliminated all the guards of Wuliang Toduo, and now only Wuliang Todo is left.
And Ura Todo had not yet woken up from the clash just now, and it seemed that nothing had happened in the short moment of killing, but the guards beside him had all fallen...... (To be continued.) )
