- Generals Zhang Feng and Xu Chang were really relieved that Ku Yang had returned safely. After all, they had really thought that Wu Heng would blame Ku Yang for the fall of Jinling City, or even let Ku Yang bear all the blame for the fall of Jinling.
And if things really happen to this point, I'm afraid there is nothing Wang Jian and Xu Chang can do this time. After all, this is Guangling, and the ones stationed here are the main forces under Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of their Taiping Army. The soldiers under the general's command are much more elite than their Niu Zhu army, not to mention the Tianxuan army directly under Wu Heng's account.
"It's too risky, Marshal"
Even when he saw the withered sheep returning safely, Wang Jian couldn't help but complain.
To be honest, Wang Jian had persuaded Kuyang more than once on the way to Guangling with the Jinling Army. After all, Kuyang, Wei Hu, and Wei Zhuang had the highest positions in Jinling City at that time. Once Jinling fell, Wu Heng would definitely question these three people. The most important thing is that the other two people, Wei Hu and Wei Zhuang, had already died. This means that Ku Yang has to face Wu Heng's anger alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Wu Heng immediately detained the dead sheep or even beheaded him after seeing him, Wang Jian and Xu Chang would not be surprised at all. After all, counting the two battles at Hengjiang and Niuzhu, Kuyang was defeated by the Zhou army in three battles. Not only did he lose his troops, he also lost the vital city of Jinling. You can imagine how furious Wu Heng would be. .
"Isn't that right, Marshal" Xu Changyi scratched his head and whispered, "General, I think it's better for us to take advantage of the situation and join the Zhou army. After all, the Marshal has your brother-in-law's way"
Perhaps because he felt that defeat and surrender would be a loss of face, Xu Chang seemed a little hesitant when he said this.
"Well" Kuyang responded softly, but did not comment on what Xu Chang said.
Seeing this, Wang Jian and Xu Chang looked at each other and stopped trying to persuade them. After all, it is not good to explain some things too clearly.
"That's right," Kuyang said to Wang Jian and Xu Chang as if he thought of something. "It will probably take a few days for my brother-in-law to arrive in Guangling. Even if he arrives in Guangling and joins forces with the troops of the Eight Wise King Li Xian outside the city, he will not immediately launch an offensive against Guangling"
Indeed, after all, Guangling is also an important city in the south that is not inferior to Jinling. The six or seven feet high city wall is enough to make Li Xian and Xie An give up the idea of ??storming the city before they are fully prepared.
"What do you mean, Marshal?"
He glanced at Xu Chang and Wang Jian. Kuyang said in a deep voice, "Taking advantage of this rare peaceful time, I would like to offer sacrifices to Wei Hu, Zhang Feng, Chu Ping, Guo Sheng and other generals who died in Jinling that day"
"this¡¡"
Wang Jian and Xu Chang looked at each other in shock when they heard this, even though they also knew that Ku Yang only wanted to pay homage to Wei Hu, and at most add Zhang Feng, as for Chu Ping, Guo Sheng and other generals. It's just a foil, but the question is, is it really appropriate to pay homage to the generals who died in the city right now?
"Commander, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this?" Wang Jian said with a hint of hesitation on his face, "There are still tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers outside the city who are eyeing Guangling. A fierce battle is about to begin in the near future. I will wait for this moment. If you are planning a funeral, wouldn't you be looked down upon by others?"
"That's just to say, Marshalit's okay if you know about it. If you don't know about it, you'd think I'm cursing that our Taiping Army will be defeated this time!" Xu Chang continued Wang Jian's words and persuaded.
To be fair, Wang Jian and Xu Chang were right. After all, funerals were held before the war. The one paying tribute was one's own general, which was quite unlucky.
It's a pity that Kuyang didn't listen to Wang Jian and Xu Chang's advice at all. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade anymore, just send someone to make preparations. - By the way, Invite as many people as possible, Ahu is very kind to me. I hope that his death will be peaceful"
Wang Jian's face became more embarrassed when he heard this, and he said awkwardly, "Well I think I won't be able to invite many people here"
"Go!" He sighed slightly and said in a deep voice.
"yes¡¡"
In the end, Ku Yang still did not listen to Wang Jian and Ku Yang's suggestions and persuasion, because he really wanted to pay homage to Wei Hu, a good comrade and brother in the Taiping Army. Maybe Ku Yang didn't feel it in the past, but after Wei Hu died, he suddenly felt lonely. The indescribable depression made him almost breathless.
Facts have proved that what Wang Jian and Xu Chang said is true. Although Kuyang invited many people, only a few people came to pay homage. It can be said that they were either generals of Niuzhu Army or generals of Jinling Army.
During this period, Kuyang even heard something that made him feel incredible, from the mouth of Jinling Army General Wang Wei.
That is, Wu Heng actually planned to break up the Jinling Wei Hu Army, including the Tianquan Army once controlled by Wei Hu, who was the Tianquan Divine General, and disperse them into other armies to make up for the recent conflict with the Zhou Army. Troop consumption.
When he heard the news, Kuyang was shocked and his face suddenly darkened.
Although this kind of thing is common, he Kuyang also knows that Wei Hujun will inevitably suffer such a fate after returning to Guangling. It is impossible for him to be in charge forever, but
Isn¡¯t this too fast?
It has only been half a day since I led the Jinling Army to Guangling!
"Is this the order from Commander Wu?" Kuyang asked in a deep voice.
"That's not" Wang Wei shook his head and whispered, "It's just the news from above that Commander Wu intends to break up our army and organize it into various armies As for the order, the above just told me to wait for a head count. "
[It turned out to be just a rumor]
Kuyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Wei Hu was a loyal general to Wu Heng, so Wu Heng would not treat Wei Hu like this.
"Don't worry!" Kuyang reluctantly smiled and comforted softly, "Ahu was loyal to Wu Shuai during his lifetime. Kuyang thought that Wu Heng would definitely keep your Tianquan Army under his tent for his own use"
"I hope so" Wang Wei and his companion Lu Yong laughed bitterly upon hearing this. It can be seen that they do not have much confidence in Kuyang's words.
In fact, Kuyang himself does not have much confidence in his own words. After all, the current situation of the Taiping Army is indeed very difficult. Fei Guo, who was once a member of the Taiping Army and ranked among the six divine generals, has suddenly become a great general. The commander-in-chief of Zhou Jizhou Army led 20,000 Jizhou soldiers to occupy the important road from Guangling to Xuzhou. It was like an insurmountable mountain. Even Wu Heng's two generals, Zhao She and Du Fang, were in peace. The army generals attacked together without any success.
And Xie An¡¯s other sharp blade, the deputy commander of the Jizhou Army, Ma Dan, led an unknown number of cavalry to wander around the Guangling outfield day and night. Waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack on the Taiping Army who are not well prepared, they can be said to be elusive.
It is said that the two Zhou soldiers, Zheng and Qi, have put pressure on the Taiping Army in recent days. In the end, some Taiping soldiers even cursed bitterly, saying that if the Zhou army had not had Fei Guo and Ma Dan, they would have been killed long ago. The Eight Sages King Li Xian was captured and killed.
Perhaps these people did not realize that they were instinctively afraid of Fei Guo and Ma Dan.
And about this. Kuyang's emotion was just that he was glad that when he was facing off against his brother-in-law Xie An on the battlefield, his brother-in-law did not have these two powerful generals to help him. Otherwise, it would have been unimaginable.
But when he thought that even if these two powerful Zhou army generals were not around, he would still be defeated by his brother-in-law Xie An, Kuyang could only smile bitterly to himself.
The sky is gradually getting darker. In a blink of an eye, the next day came. It was natural for Ku Yang to guard the mourning hall for Wei Hu and Zhang Feng, the loyal general who was assassinated by Wei Zhuang, all night long. However, Wang Wei and Lu Yong of the Jinling Army left around midnight.
It¡¯s not that the two of them had any other thoughts, it¡¯s just that a Taiping Army general came over to send a message and called Wang Wei and Lu Yong away.
Looking at the departing figures of Wang Wei and Lu Yong, Kuyang had a vague premonition in his heart.
As expected, wait until around noon. Wang Wei and Lu Yong returned to Ku Yang's residence again, and this time, they came to say goodbye to Ku Yang.
"Thank you Commander Kuyang for taking care of you these days, thank you Commander Kuyang for helping us capture the traitor Wei Zhuang, and use his head to commemorate the commander We are deeply grateful! - This time, I will wait for you. It¡¯s to say goodbye to Marshal Kuyang¡¡±
"" Kuyang opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out a word. He was so smart. I had already thought of something in my mind.
????????????????? Lu Yong saw that Ku Yang was silent and thought that Ku Yang didn¡¯t know why. He explained with a wry smile, ¡°That¡¯s right, an order was sent from above early this morning to break up our Jinling Army and charge into other armies¡¡±
"That you¡¡"
"Wang Wei was transferred to the command of General Zhao She, the general of the Central Army. And I was transferred to the command of General Du Fang, the general of the right army. They are both places with the tightest military strength" Faced with Ku Yang's question, Lu Yong He smiled bitterly and said, "That's why. Wang Wei and I thought that we should say goodbye to Commander Kuyang before setting off. After all, we may not have the chance to see each other again in the future"
"Ahem!" Wang Wei coughed nearby and signaled with his eyes that Lu Yong should not continue. Immediately, he took a step forward, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Kuyang.
"This is?" There was some confusion in Kuyang's eyes. When he saw the signature of the letter, his expression suddenly changed slightly, because the signature on the letter actually wrote the name of his only biological sister Yiyi.
This letter turned out to be from IraqA few months ago, someone was sent from Jijing to send Ku Yang¡¯s family letter, but for some unknown reason it fell into Wang Wei¡¯s hands.
Looking at Kuyang's suspicious eyes, Wang Weilue said with some embarrassment, "That's it. When the Eight Wise King Li Xian led the camp in the Hengjiang area of ????Liyang, the whole city of Jinling City was also under martial law. After all, there were Dongling soldiers and Jinling soldiers in the Zhou army. The two assassins were extremely hard to guard against and very powerful. There was no way we could have made any omissions. Therefore, Commander Wei ordered the whole city to be under martial law and interrogated the outsiders very carefully. Unexpectedly, he found this letter from one person's package Now I think about it. I think that person is either one of the Dongling Assassins or one of the Jinling Assassins. He looks like a foreigner dressed as a traveler, but his martial arts skills are quite impressive"
"Where is that person?" Kuyang asked doubtfully.
"This" Wang Wei said in a low voice with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "That day, Marshal Wei personally led people to conduct an interrogation. When he saw that the man was acting suspiciously, he stepped forward to question him. Unexpectedly, the assassin didn't say anything. He wanted to take Wei Shuai hostage and escape, but was shot dead on the spot by Wei Shuai Afterwards, he searched his body and Wei Shuai found this letter from the man's arms. Then he suddenly realized that it was Commander Kuyang, your own sister who sent the letter home. people¡¡"
"I have never heard Ahu mention this before" After muttering, Kuyang turned over the envelope. Only then did he notice that the letter had actually been opened a long time ago. Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown.
Seemingly noticing Ku Yang's strange expression, Wang Wei explained with an embarrassed look, "Wei Shuai originally didn't want to open the family letters of Ku Yang in private, but later Wei Zhuang revealed Ku Yang's family letters in front of Wei Shuai. I had a private meeting with your brother-in-law Xie An on a boat on the Hengjiang River. Wei Shuai became suspicious, so"
Hearing this, Kuyang smiled bitterly and murmured in a slightly mocking and nostalgic tone, "It's still something a real Ahu would do What did my sister write in the letter?"
"How dare this junior general dare to watch in private?" Wang Wei waved his hands repeatedly and said. "However, Commander Wei felt a little bad after reading this letter, so he handed it to the general to deal with in private. Don't let Marshal Kuyang know about it Marshal Kuyang clearly understood that at that time, Marshal Wei had also done it for I was hesitant about this matter, and I even opened a jar of wine that I would normally be reluctant to drink"
"It turns out that was that day" When the jar of wine was mentioned, Kuyang suddenly realized it and immediately said in confusion. "But at that time, I had reconciled with Ahu, and he didn't mention it Oh, yes, he wouldn't tell me about this kind of thing, even if it was a reconciliation That guy seemed honest and honest. In fact, He is quite thoughtful"
Having said this, Ku Yang secretly sighed. When he thought about it, the reason why Wei Hu never mentioned this letter after the reconciliation was obviously that Ku Yang's sister Yi Yi wrote many letters in the letter to persuade her brother to surrender to Zhou. Jun's words, and Wei Hu knew that Ku Yang cared most about Yiyi, his only relative in the world, and did not want Ku Yang to be affected by this. Therefore, I kept this letter private.
At that time, Wei Hu probably still thought about being able to go to the battlefield with Kuyang and support each other in the future. He obviously did not expect that his wish was destined to be difficult to realize.
"Then you" Playing with the letter in his hand, Kuyang looked at Wang Wei doubtfully.
As if he had guessed what Ku Yang was thinking, Wang Wei said truthfully, "At that time, General Mo was indeed prepared to deal with this letter privately. But just a few steps out of the city guard's house, he suddenly received an alarm that General Wang Jian was rebelling Hey, General Wang Jian attacked the west gate"
Beside him, Wang Jian scratched his forehead in embarrassment.
"First, General Wang Jian captured the west gate, and then General Zhang Feng and General Xu Chang successively attacked the city. The situation was so urgent that the general forgot about it. He kept this letter close to his body until he was ready to change his clothes and go to the city. When I was waiting under the tent of Lord Zhao She, the Heavenly General of the Outer Army, I noticed that this letter was still hidden in the general¡¯s armor, so I sent it by the way. Give it to Marshal Kuyang"
"Thank you!" Kuyang hugged his fists gratefully as he put his sister Yiyi's family letter into his arms.
"Don't you dare! - In that case, Marshal Kuyang, I'll take my leave first!"
"I won't give it away"
"Please stay."
Kuyang watched Wang Wei and Lu Yong leave together, unable to think of anything to say to persuade them to stay. After all, both of them were following the orders issued by Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, and Kuyang had no right to interfere.
Not long after, Wang Jian walked in from outside the house and whispered a few words to the dead sheep.
I don¡¯t know what I heard. Kuyang looked stunned, raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Twenty thousand people were added to the establishment? Twenty thousand people?"
"Yes!" Wang Jian nodded and explained in a low voice, "The higher-ups just sent someone here to tell us that our Tianshu Army has been expanded to 20,000 people, and the remaining troops will be transferred from the Jinling Army"
Some people may find it strange that Kuyang was clearly the general who led the 30,000 Taiping Army before. Why did Wang Jianhui say that the establishment would be expanded to 20,000?Words come. In fact, the 30,000 people Ku Yang led when he was in Niuzhu at that time can actually be divided into two groups: the direct line army and the Niuzhu garrison. The direct line army naturally refers to the Tianshu generals. The Tianshu Army under the command of Ku Yang, and the Niuzhu Army, were additional garrison troops sent by Wu Heng to defend against the Zhou soldiers. Although they were also under Ku Yang's command, they were only temporarily in charge.
Now, although the number of troops in Kuyang's hands has dropped sharply from 30,000 to 20,000, these 20,000 people all belong to the Tianshu Army and are the direct troops directly under Kuyang. In other words, it seems that the number of troops in the hands of the dead sheep has decreased, but in fact it is just the opposite.
"Wu Heng is trying to win over you, Marshal!" Xu Chang whispered from the side, with a relieved tone.
"" Kuyang was silent. He knew very well how many troops he still had in hand. Even if he included the defeated soldiers gathered along the way after retreating from Jinling, the full force would only be 17,000. In other words, Wu Heng He replenished more than 3,000 people in one go.
There are more than three thousand people. This is not a small number. Just like Cheng Yang, the general of the Jizhou Army, the number of troops under his command is at most no more than this number. You must know that Cheng Yang is a general.
Ran
In the past, with Kuyang's temperament, he would have been somewhat complacent. After all, he was still young, but now, he couldn't be happy at all. Because those three thousand people were drawn from the Jinling Army. They were drawn from the Jinling Army, which Kuyang did not want to make any adjustments at all.
He glanced at Wei Zhuang's head enshrined in the mourning hall, and then at Wei Hu's remains in the wooden coffin. The withered sheep remained silent.
Two days later, on the southwest side of Guangling City, Kuyang's brother-in-law and the Minister of Punishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Xie An, arrived with his army after appeasing Jinling. Because he had to deal with the aftermath of the turmoil in Jinling, Xie An arrived two days later than Ku Yang.
As Kuyang expected, Xie An was not in a hurry to attack Guangling City after he led his army to Guangling and successfully joined forces with the Eight Sages King Li Xian. Instead, he ordered his officers and men to busy preparing all kinds of equipment and materials needed to attack the city, such as chariots, wells, and ladders. The more than 40,000 Zhou soldiers in the main camp of the Zhou army were preparing day and night. It is undeniable that this gave The Taiping Army in Guangling City brought considerable pressure.
Of course, although the Zhou army did not attack Guangling. But this does not mean that there has been no fighting in the past two days. At least some of the partial divisions on both sides are fighting fiercely. For example, Fei Guo, the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou Army, and Zhao She, the general of the Taiping Army.
In fact, compared to Guangling, where there has been no fighting yet, the outfield of Guangling City has become the main battlefield for the two armies to compete for hegemony. Not to mention the elusive cavalry of Zhou general Ma Dan, even Fei Guo also sent generals Su Xin and Li Jing to lead cavalry in the outfield, gradually reducing the Taiping Army's control over the outfield. Until the Taiping Army's strength was finally suppressed in Guangling City, the entire plan of besieging all sides and completely wiping out the main force of the Taiping Army was realized.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Heng ordered the Jinling Army, including the Tianji Army, controlled by Wei Hu during his lifetime, to be dispersed and replenished to various generals, especially the Heavenly General of the Central Army Zhao She and the Heavenly General of the Right Army Du Fang. After all, the positions of these two Taiping Army generals could be the front line of the current war. The fierce fighting every day resulted in extremely heavy consumption of troops.
From an objective perspective, Ku Yang didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with Wu Heng¡¯s order. After all, instead of letting the Jinling Army, which had lost its general Wei Hu, sit idle in Guangling City, it would be better to break it up and join the armies so that they could have the upper hand when fighting Zhou soldiers; but from a subjective point of view, Kuyang really didn't want Wu Heng to be like this Do.
You must know that the treatment of direct troops and ordinary troops is different, just like Wang Wei and Lu Yong, two former subordinates of Wei Hu. After they were transferred to the command of Zhao She, the general of the central army, and Du Fang, the general of the right army, they seriously Will he be reused by those two heavenly generals?
Not seen!
At best, they are just pawns. To put it more simply, they are just cannon fodder, abandoned sons, and props for the two heavenly generals to win when fighting against the Zhou army.
After all, Wei Hu trusted Wang Wei and Lu Yong. It does not mean that Zhao She and Du Fang will also trust Wang Wei and Lu Yong. As generals of the Five Directions, do Zhao She and Du Fang still lack their beloved generals? In Kuyang's view, this kind of temporary transfer order before the war is extremely fatal and dangerous for generals such as Wang Wei and Lu Yong who have lost their backers, because once they are transferred to a strange place, they The position will become quite embarrassing.
As expected, on the third day after Wang Wei and Lu Yong were transferred, Kuyang received bad news respectively.
First, it was Wang Wei. He was reprimanded by the Zhou general Fei Guo for putting forward other opinions on defense when the Chinese general Zhao She proposed to storm the military camp where the Zhou general Fei Guo was. Immediately afterwards, Wang Wei was ordered by Zhao She to lead his army at night. Attack Fei's Dazhai.
And the facts prove that Fei GuoAlthough he cannot be said to be an unparalleled warrior who can compete with Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, and Zhen Lei, he is better because of his comprehensive ability. He has his own unique set of routines in both offense and defense. How can it be so easy? Deal with it?
Of course, the so-called night attack strategy of the Chinese general Zhao She was ambushed by Fei Guo. Although Zhao She's main army retreated extremely quickly without much loss, Wang Wei was ordered by Zhao She to stay behind. As a result Fei Guo, the most fierce general of the Jizhou Army who was pursued by his own troops, was killed with a sword and felled from his horse.
??Then there is Lu Yong, this general who is actually quite capable in Kuyang's opinion, was ordered by Du Fang, the general of the right army, to occupy a hilltop and occupy the highest point. Du Fang wanted to use this to lure out the elusive Zhou general Ma Dan and his nearly 10,000 cavalry. Unexpectedly, Ma Dan did not fall into the trap at all, and even used the trick to pretend to attack Lu Yong's small camp on the top of the mountain. In fact, the target was Du Fang's. Camp.
In such a dark night, how could Lu Yong know Ma Dan's true goal? Seeing Ma Dan attacking his camp, he sent a signal to Du Fang for help as planned. As a result, when Du Fang led his troops to surround the hilly area with strong fighting spirit, the main camp where he set up camp was attacked by Ma Dan, who burned most of his camp with fire.
The furious Du Fang was furious. Without saying a word, he executed Lu Yong on the charge of lying about military information, and dispersed the troops under his control again into his own army.
?Perhaps in the eyes of those two heavenly generals. The generals of the Jinling Army who lost Wei Hu as their backer were nothing more than soft persimmons that could be easily kneaded.
In response to this, Kuyang couldn't help but lament while being angry. After all, Wang Wei and Lu Yong expressed to him a few days ago that they were willing to serve under his Kuyang tent, and Kuyang was also quite optimistic about these two generals.
"Don't look at Wang Wei being killed by Fei Guo, you have to see who he is competing with. You must know that that night in Jinling, Wang Wei led his troops to be attacked by two armies, Zhao Cheng, the subordinate general of Wei Zhuang, and the Niuzhu army commanded by Xu Chang. However, in the end, Zhao Cheng did not kill Wang Wei. It is not difficult to imagine that Wang Wei's martial arts skills are better than those of Zhao Cheng and Xu Chang, but it is a pity that he met Zhou general Fei Guo.
Who are the people in Feiguo? Five years ago he was a six-god general. Looking at the whole world, how many people in the world can he take on Liang Qiu Hao's full blow? At least Ku Yang couldn't take Liang Qiu Hao's sword, and Wei Hu couldn't take it either. As for the so-called five heavenly generals, Ku Yang didn't think those people could take it. After all, Liang Qiu Hao was the best general in the world who hadn't been born in hundreds of years. Despite dying in battle. But it is still a giant mountain that the generals in the world cannot overcome even if they spend their entire lives.
Therefore, Wang Wei died in the hands of Zhou general Fei Guo. Kuyang was not surprised at all. He was just angry. He was angry that Zhao She, the general of the Chinese army, asked Wang Wei to cut off his rear and face Fei Guo alone. Obviously, Zhao She was capable of defeating Fei Guo. , although it is not possible to defeat Fei Guo, but at least it can escape intact
" If Wang Wei died in the hands of Fei Guo, it can be understood as the fate of a military general. Then Lu Yong's death is simply unimaginable.
It was obvious that Du Fang, the general of the right army, was a reckless man who had a shallow plan and was easily seen through by the Zhou general Ma Dan, but in the end it was Lu Yong who took the blame.
In Kuyang's view, although Wang Wei and Lu Yong are not top-notch in strength, they are not at this level. It can only be said that Zhao She and Du Fang are incompetent. They are typical generals who have no plans to drag down their subordinates.
Even. Ku Yang maliciously speculated whether Zhao She and Du Fang deliberately wanted to kill Wang Wei and Lu Yong in order to completely disperse the Jinling Army and bring it under their control.
But then again. Kuyang was obviously beyond his reach. After all, he was busy taking care of the affairs of Wei Hu, Zhang Feng and others at the moment. When he finished dealing with things here, those Jinling troops who were dispersed had to change their surnames. After leaving Zhao, he changed his surname to Du, and there was no trace of Wei Hu left in the army.
The Jinling Army that Wei Hu once commanded, except for the three thousand men under his Kuyang command, seems to have completely disappeared. The Jinling garrison and the Tianquan Army no longer have this organization in the Taiping Army. It seems that at the moment Wei Hu breathed his last, he died. , the Jinling Army under his command also left with him.
However, Ku Yang had actually expected this kind of thing. After all, when Wang Wei and Lu Yong came to say goodbye to him, Ku Yang had already had a premonition of something bad, but it was hard to say it. After all, the Taiping Army He is not the fourth generation commander-in-chief.
However, even leaving aside the matter of Wang Wei and Lu Yong, Ku Yang still has a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.
It was like saying that he was doing nothing for Wei Hu and others. Other generals did not come in order not to raise eyebrows. Kuyang could understand it, but he did not expect that even Wu Heng did not come, but only sent someone to deliver it. Several envelopes of white wax were provided for use in the mourning hall.
To be fair, Kuyang also understands that Wu Heng is the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army. Moreover, the Zhou army is approaching Guangling, so he will naturally have endless things to do. However, he understands that he understands, and his heart finally??Still a little uncomfortable.
¡°After all, from Ku Yang¡¯s point of view, everyone else can be relieved if they don¡¯t come, but Wu Heng can¡¯t. After all, Wei Hu was loyal to Wu Heng during his lifetime, but after Wei Hu died, Wu Heng didn¡¯t even come to the mourning hall
??????????? Should we say that we should use people to move forward and not use people to move towards the back, or should we say that the old people have passed away and all friendships are gone?
uncomfortable¡¡
I feel very uncomfortable!
Glancing at the empty mourning hall, the dead sheep remained silent.
According to the custom of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the dead can be buried after three days of vigil, so the withered sheep stayed in the mourning hall for three days. He originally thought that Wu Heng would always be able to take some time to visit within these three days, even if it was just to offer Wei Hu a stick of incense. This would comfort Wei Hu's spirit in heaven, and would be worthy of Wei Hu's loyalty to him during his lifetime. .
However, for three whole days, Wu Heng never showed up. Apart from sending someone to deliver a white wax letter, Wu Heng did not express any response to Wei Hu's death.
On the contrary, Liu Yan, the Thirteenth Highness of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who had never had any interaction with Ku Yang or Wei Hu before, came to visit once. He also personally wrote a condolence message for Wei Hu.
Not to mention, Liu Yan was indeed the one who once set up a calligraphy and painting stall at the intersection of Guangling and wrote family letters for others. He was really good at writing, with powerful and extraordinary writing skills.
but¡¡
Ku Yang still felt uncomfortable. After all, he was the most important person to Wei Hu. Never showed up.
Because the Zhou army was aggressively reducing the Taiping Army's control of the outfield outside the city, there were Zhou army's scouts and scouts everywhere outside the city, not to mention Ma Dan's elusive cavalry team. Therefore, Kuyang had no choice but to give up his original plan. idea.
He originally wanted to bury Wei Hu in the mountains and forests outside the city, looking for a place with good feng shui and beautiful scenery. As Wei Hu's tomb, but now, he can only bury Wei Hu in an open space near the southeast side of Jinling City.
Before and after asking his soldiers to carry Wei Hu¡¯s coffin into the ground, there were many people and Taiping soldiers pointing fingers on the road. Ku Yang didn't care about the people at all. After all, he knew very well that the people watching on the road just liked to join in the fun; but for those Taiping soldiers
Looking at the displeased looks in the eyes of the Taiping soldiers, especially the generals, Kuyang became even more angry.
[how? Even burial is not allowed? ! ]
Kuyang was furious. Maybe it was his murderous eyes that scared away a large number of Taiping generals. As a result, the affairs of Wei Hu and others were managed quite calmly, at least without any extraneous complications.
[The world is in trouble! ]
After dealing with the affairs behind Wei Hu and others, Ku Yang walked alone on the streets of Guangling City, this word came to his mind from time to time.
The people in the city were talking a lot, the Taiping soldiers passing by in twos and threes from time to time, the Taiping generals they met head-on, even Wu Heng who had summoned him when he was doing business for Wei Hu and others, everyone said the same thing. They are all about the upcoming war in Guangling City. As for Wei Hu and others who died in Jinling before, no one mentioned it, as if Wei Hu and others had never appeared
Thinking of this, Kuyang's eyes flashed and he walked towards Wu Heng's residence, which was the official residence of Zhang Qi, the former governor of Guangling County.
On the day he conquered Guangling, Wu Heng killed Zhang Qi, the county governor who had crossed paths with Xie An. After all, even though Zhang Qi had hooked up with rich people in the city and did some evil things, he still abided by his duties as an official of the Zhou Dynasty and defended the city when Wu Heng led his army to attack Guangling. Liang Shu, the governor of Xuzhou, who came to the rescue together, once defeated Wu Heng.
It was a pity that Zhang Qi was a civil servant and there were no strong generals stationed in Guangling City, so Guangling City finally fell, two days before the Eighth Sage King Li Xian led his army to Guangling County.
However, as far as Ku Yang knows, the reason why Guangling City was destroyed was because Wu Heng received the support of Wan Li, the leader of the Guangling Assassins. Therefore, the Guangling Assassins secretly hijacked the governor Zhang Qi and threatened him to order the city guards to give up resistance and open the door. The city gate allowed the Taiping troops to enter the city.
However, despite the fact that Zhang Qi cowered in front of Xie An, the Minister of Justice, he yelled at Wu Heng and other Taiping soldiers to damn the rebels. As a result, Wu Heng cut out his tongue and paraded him in the street for three days until his blood flowed out. And die.
As for which version of the cause of Zhang Qi's death, Kuyang obviously didn't want to study it in detail. He urgently wanted to ask Wu Heng personally about something, such as Wang Wei and others.
"Hey, General Kuyang!"
Just as Kuyang lowered his head and walked towards the county governor's house where Wu Heng currently lived, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
Turning his head to look, Kuyang was slightly startled, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity, because the identity of the person coming was not simple,He is one of the five generals and the five generals under Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army. Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army, is the only general who stayed in Guangling City.
"It turns out to be the General of the Hou Army"
Ku Yang bowed with cupped hands and fists, seemingly treating Zhang Hong quite respectfully, but in fact, this overly polite gesture seemed extremely alienating.
It¡¯s no wonder, after all, Ku Yang¡¯s good brother Wei Hu was killed by Wei Zhuang, one of the Five Heavenly Generals from Zuo Jun. Moreover, even Ku Yang was almost burned alive by Wei Zhuang¡¯s design. , Therefore, Ku Yang really has no good impression of these so-called Five Directions Heavenly Generals.
But what was unexpected was that Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army, didn't know whether he didn't notice Ku Yang's intentional alienation, and was waiting not far away. This forced Ku Yang to take a few steps and step forward to walk side by side with Zhang Hong. .
"I'm sorry that Zhang couldn't go to General Wei Hu's funeral in person. After all, that kind of thing is not a good thing for generals like us"
After Ku Yang approached, Zhang Hong lowered his voice and whispered to Ku Yang in an apologetic tone.
Ku Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled and said, "What the hell, it's just Ku Yang's fault. It's obvious that our Taiping Army is about to face an unprecedented fierce battle. But Ku Yang still wants to bring trouble to everyone"
"You can't say that," Zhang Hong shook his head and said seriously, "General Wei Hu is also a fierce general of our Taiping Army. Although he is young, he is also different from the Six Divine Generals and the Five Heavenly Generals. But Zhang has always respected Wei General Tiger¡¯s¡¡±
"Master Tianjiang said something serious By the way, what is this trip for Master Tianjiang to do?" A heartfelt smile appeared on Kuyang's face. Perhaps, he felt very happy that he could still hear Wei Hu's name after his death. At least it meant that Wei Hu had not been completely forgotten within the Taiping Army.
"I can't call you General Kuyang, a heavenly general If General Kuyang really wants to be so serious, then Zhang will have no choice but to call you, General Kuyang, a godly general" Zhang Hong said with a smile, "As for Zhang's trip. For no other reason than that, General Kuyang also knows that there are Zhou troops outside Guangling City at the moment, and the food and grass reserves in the city have become a crucial problem for our army I will meet Commander Wu later, Zhang wants to report this matter to Commander Wu!"
"That's it" Kuyang suddenly understood and nodded.
While they were talking, they had arrived at the bedroom where Wu Heng lived in the governor's house.
Seeing Wu Heng standing at the table in the room, staring at the marching map on the table and meditating hard, Kuyang took a deep breath. He cupped his fists and shouted, "Wu Shuai!"
"A dead sheep" Wu Heng was neither surprised nor raised his head when he heard this. His eyes were still scanning the march map to see the confrontation between the Zhou army and his Taiping army, and he said slowly, "Is something wrong?"
"Yes" Kuyang nodded, then clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Kuyang questions Wang Wei and Lu Yong's death!"
"Oh?" Wu Heng raised his head after hearing this. He chuckled and said, "Do you think Zhao She and Du Fang made the wrong decision?"
"Yes!" Kuyang said sonorously, "Wang Wei's death was all due to Lord Zhao She's rash advance. As for the death of Lu Yong, it was simply Lord Du Fang's anger! - Kuyang also knew the abilities of Wang Wei and Lu Yong. Originally, Absolutely not like that!¡±
"I see" Wu Heng nodded and said in an unclear tone, "You mean, Zhao She and Du Fang are not good at using generals, right?"
Facing Wu Heng's profound gaze, Ku Yang was not at all afraid and said in a low voice, "If not, then Zhao She and Du Fang intend to get rid of Wang Wei and Lu Yong! - Only in this way can they take full advantage of it." Master the Jinling soldiers added to the army!"
"" Maybe he didn't expect Ku Yang to speak so straightforwardly. Wu Heng was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "I think Ku Yang, you are overthinking it. They are all Taiping Army brothers. Zhao She How could you and Du Fang deliberately kill Wang Wei and Na Lu?"
"Lu Yong!"
"Yes, Lu Yong! - In a war, how can anyone not die? Furthermore, Zhou General Fei Guo, the former traitor of our Taiping Army, is not a simple person. Even if it is because of the queen, in the final analysis, Wang Wei died in his hands , it can only be said to be bad luck"
"Bad luck" Kuyang muttered, and suddenly asked, "How about I ask Commander Wu, where is Lu Yong?"
"Well Du Fang must have his own thoughts, right?"
"" Kuyang was silent when he heard this. From Wu Heng's words, how could he not hear Wu Heng's intention of favoring the five heavenly generals?
After thinking for a while, Kuyang said in a deep voice, "The general asked Wu Heng not to disband the Tianquan Army Can the three thousand Jinling soldiers under the general form an army of their own and follow the Tianquan Army"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Before he finished speaking, Wu Heng saw Zhang Hong over there and said in surprise, "Zhang Hong, why are you here?"
Suddenly, the sound of the withered sheep stopped.
Possibly noticing Kuyang¡¯s strange expression, Wu Heng glanced at Kuyang apologetically, waved his hands and laughed continuously, ¡°Okay, okay, no matter what, Kuyang, just do what you want!¡±
[No matter what it is, it¡¯s fine No matter what it is, it¡¯s fine No matter what it is, it¡¯s fine]
Kuyang unconsciously clenched his fists, his face that was deliberately lowered turned livid, and then returned to his original state.
"Thank you, Wu Shuai!" Kuyang said goodbye to Wu Heng with his fists crossed, turned around and walked out of the house.
When he walked into the courtyard, Kuyang revealed the anger in his eyes. The deep anger made him, who was usually gentle and elegant, look quite scary at the moment.
Suddenly, Kuyang accidentally touched the letter from his sister Yiyi in his arms, the letter that Wang Wei personally handed to him.
I don¡¯t know what he thought of, but a trace of determination flashed in Kuyang¡¯s eyes.
At the same time, Wu Heng inside the house had walked to the door of the house for some reason and looked coldly at the back of the dead sheep as it left.
"Does Commander Wu think he will fall into the trap?" Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army, asked in a low voice from the side.
"Kuyang has a cold face and a warm heart, and is a person who values ??friendship and what he has done in the past few days has proved this! - He will! As I hope, I feel for Wei Hu If he is not worthy, he will definitely become rebellious, and then secretly communicate with the Zhou army, and conspire with me inside and outside Guangling In this case, I will annihilate the Zhou army in Guangling City in one fell swoop!" - Didn't finish reading?
