Han Shimou

() "Wen Zixi, you disobeyed the general and violated the superior. Although you are my son of the Tang Dynasty, the law and discipline in the army should not be taken lightly! However, Deng Shizai failed to stop him and dereliction of duty. Although it did not cause a big pot, it also You cannot be forgiven!! Yu Wenke, you bravely killed the enemy, and I will send you as the captain of the army. From now on, Wen Zixi, Deng Shizai and you two will be the horse archers in the army, waiting for Yu Wenke's orders!!"

As soon as Zhao Yun said this, all the generals in the tent remained unchanged, and Yu Wenke was even more terrified, kneeling down and saying.

"Dragon Marquis must not do so! Although His Royal Highness and General Deng have had past actions, they have made meritorious deeds. Such a heavy punishment is against the law!!"

Zhao Yun stared at him with sword eyes, and the jing light burst out, and he shouted angrily with a horrified aura.

"Wen Zixi is my son of the Western Tang Dynasty. If something happens, the country will be in chaos. The consequences are beyond your imagination!! If I don't punish me, if I commit the crime again in the future, it will be too late!! Who will pay me back?" Dissatisfied!!"

Yu Wenke had long been intimidated by Zhao Yun's aura, and the generals in the tent did not dare to speak too much.Wen Shun was panting heavily, but after hearing Zhao Yun's words, his whole body trembled, he knelt down on one knee, and confessed. . .

"The last general is convinced, and I am willing to listen to the order of the Dragon Marquis!"

After Wen Shun said it, Deng Ai also pleaded guilty.Seeing Zhao Yun, most of his anger faded away, his momentum restrained, and he shouted back the generals.Wen Shun and Deng Ai resigned one after another.After everyone left, Zhao Yun's expression changed, he shook his head and sighed.

"His Royal Highness is so stubborn. Although his thoughts are extremely meticulous, but the so-called wise men are sure to make mistakes. I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later. I only hope that His Royal Highness can understand the truth of this!"

Zhao Yun punished Wenshun and Deng Ai so severely, although there were quite a lot of arguments in the army, but many soldiers saw the severity of this and said a lot of good things for Zhao Yun.However, Zhao Yun's prestige in the army is extremely high, and both Wen Shun and Deng Ai were willing to plead guilty, so the matter was soon exposed.But afterwards, the generals in the army admired Zhao Yun for being so tough. He dared to demote Wenshun and Deng Ai directly from the post of school lieutenant to horse archer, and they were even ordered by Yu Wenke.Of course, everyone understands that Zhao Yun intends to discourage Wenshun and Deng Ai. With their strength, they will surely make great contributions and be sent back to their original posts soon.

In addition, Wen Shun and Deng Ai were demoted to horse archers, and neither of them complained.One day, Wen Shun and Deng Ai led a team of scouts to visit Linhe.Wen Shun reined in his horse and looked at it from a height. He saw that the army's morale was broken and the team was disorganized in Linhe city.When Wen Shun saw this, he frowned and talked to Deng Ai.

"Shi Zai, you can see that the soldiers and horses of the Shu people are so scattered in Linhe City. If there are Fa Xiaozhi, Ma Jichang and others sitting in the army on weekdays, how can this be so? Could it be that there has been a change in Linhe City!?"

When Deng Ai heard the words, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly followed Wen Shun's expectations, only to see that the Shu soldiers in the city were lax in defense and depressed.Deng Ai pondered for a while, then said in a concentrated voice.

"Your Highness expected that it is very possible. According to reports from the Shu captives, although Nie You sacrificed Linhe City to Liu Chan, he was still suspected by Fa Xiaozhi, Ma Jichang and others, and even tried to kill him. Presumably Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang must have discovered Nie You's evil intentions and wanted to get rid of them urgently. However, Nie You has won Liu Chan's heart and received his protection. It is said that a gentleman is hard to beat a villain. To congratulate an accident, it may be because of this person!!"

After Deng Ai's analysis, Wen Shun glared at him, his words were exactly what he thought in his heart.Wen Shun grinned, looked at Deng Ai, and said with a smile.

"What Shi Zai said is exactly what I have in mind. Now is the perfect time to capture Linhe and capture Liu Chan!! Repay Longhou immediately!!"

Deng Ai also smiled, nodding in agreement.The two then reined in their horses and led their troops back to the village to meet Zhao Yun.Zhao Yun was thinking about strategies in the tent, when he heard that Wen Shun and Deng Ai had come to see him, his face brightened.He knew that although the two of them were young, they were both resourceful and extremely strategic.However, Zhao Yun's expression darkened quickly, and he said loudly on purpose.

"He and the other two are just horse archers. If there is anything important, teach him to report to his commander first!!"

Wen Shun and Deng Ai listened outside the tent.Wen Shun couldn't help showing a wry smile, and talked to Deng Ai.

"It seems that Long Hou is still angry about the previous incident, but it is because the soldiers have carried you."

"Your Highness, don't do this. His Highness Ai Neng is so trusted, let alone a horse archer, even if he is a pawn, he is willing to serve his side."

Deng Ai quickly answered with cupped hands.Wen Shun smiled brightly, his saber eyes shone brightly, nodded and said in a deep voice.

"I regard Shi Zai as brothers and feet, as my father and king regard dragons and princes. In this life, we will never lose each other!"

When Deng Ai heard this, his heart trembled and he was very moved.At this moment, the soldiers who went to report came back, but they kept talking and stopped talking.Wen Shun smiled lightly, bowed and arched.

"It's hard for you, brother. I'm leaving now."

After Wenshun finished speaking, he made an eye shot with Deng Ai. Deng Ai agreed, and they left together to see Yu Wenke.After hearing this, Yu Wenke was very happy and said respectfully.

"If this matter is true, His Highness and General Deng have made extraordinary achievements this time. The villain will report to Long Hou and introduce him to His Highness and General Deng!"

Although Yu Wenke was the general of Wenshun and Deng Ai for the time being, he never dared to act presumptuously.Wen Shun listened, shook his head slightly and said.

"No need. This is not in accordance with military discipline. General, just report it."

When Yu Wenke heard Wen Shun call him a general, his face was terrified and he didn't even dare to speak.Wen Shun didn't stick to these details, waved his hand, and taught Yu Wenke to report quickly.Yu Wenke listened to the order and left.After a while, Yu Wenke came back with a face full of joy, and ordered Zhao Yun to summon him.Wen Shun and Deng Ai were shocked, and they went with Yu Wenke.

After entering the account, Wen Shun and Deng Ai finished their worship.Seeing that the two of them had no complaints, Zhao Yun was secretly happy and slandered.

"After doing this, Your Highness restrained himself a lot, and he was able to perceive the advantages and disadvantages of this. It is my fortune in the Western Tang Dynasty to accept it calmly. And this Deng Shizai has always abided by the law, is humble and courteous, and is also wise and brave. material."

After thinking about it, Zhao Yun couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said with a smile to Wen Shun and Deng Ai.

"I know what you reported. But Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang are not ordinary people. If there is fraud, so what?"

Wen Shun's expression froze, and he bowed his hands to Zhao Yun in response.

"Longhou don't need to worry too much. If you want to know what's going on, just try a little and you'll know."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Zhao Yun's complexion darkened, and his sword eyes shone brightly.Wen Shun said.

"Now our army has been resting for several days, all of which are to replenish their energy. Longhou might as well send an army to test it out. If the Shu people respond in a hurry, they will attack them vigorously. If Linhe can be defeated in one fell swoop, the overall situation will be fine. Definitely!"

When Zhao Yun heard this, his smile became brighter, he laughed loudly, and applauded repeatedly, so he followed Wen Shun's plan and made arrangements for each.He also had a word with Wen Shun and Deng Ai. If this matter is serious, they should be credited with their first contribution.The next day, Zhao Yun's assignment was decided, and he personally led the former army to look forward to congratulating him.Outside Linhe city, there was a sudden shout of killing, and the Shu soldiers in the city were in chaos. Unexpectedly, Ma Liang was still unconscious, and Fazheng and others were also kneeling in front of the government office. The soldiers in the city could not stabilize the situation. Liu Chan was urgently reported.When Liu Chan heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he was terrified.Nie You hurriedly came to remonstrate.

"Your Majesty, from the villain's point of view, Da Sima and the others are all loyal people. I have repeatedly tried to harm the villain, but I am afraid that the villain will turn against the enemy. Even so, the villain is willing to sacrifice his family. , as a hostage. In this way, Da Sima may be willing to forgive the villain."

Nie You is worthy of a villain mentality, in order to save his life, he is willing to sacrifice even his family.When Liu Chan heard the words, he was overjoyed, so he led Nie You to see him.Fazheng and the others were still kneeling, and when they saw Liu Chan and Nie You coming, they bowed in unison.

"My lord, I implore you to kill Nie You to reassure everyone!!"

After hearing this, Nie You quickly knelt down.Liu Chan shook his spirits and spoke with Fazheng and others.

"Everyone, you and your family are important ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty. The war is imminent, and I still need a lot of support. I have made a decision about Nie You. Although he has committed crimes, his crimes are not dead. I forgive him for offering congratulations and returning I hope that the Qing family will not push each other any more. Just spare his life. He is willing to take his family as a hostage, is this appropriate?"

After Liu Chan finished speaking, Nie You cried bitterly and begged for mercy.When Fazheng and others saw this, they were very happy.At this time, another soldier came to report that Zhao Yun, the dragon of the Western Tang Dynasty, had led his troops to the city.Liu Chan turned pale in shock when he heard the words.Fazheng let out a long sigh, so far Liu Chan still hadn't realized the advantages and disadvantages of this, and he still wanted to keep Nie You in vain.But Nie You is willing to donate his family, so he definitely dare not act rashly.Fazheng thought that no matter how treacherous and cunning Nie You was, he would never abandon his family.What's more, the current situation is critical, and Fazheng doesn't want to entangle any longer, so he kowtowed and said earnestly.

"Your Majesty is able to discern the details, and I am very pleased, and I am willing to do my best!"

As soon as Fazheng said this, Zhang Bao, Pan Pingping and others also knelt down behind him.Seeing this, Liu Chan felt relieved, quickly helped Fazheng up, and said hastily.

"Da Sima and Gu have finally settled their suspicions, and hope that Da Sima will go quickly to resist the Tang thieves, and Linhe will be safe!"

Fazheng responded generously, but he knelt for too long, his center of gravity sank, and he almost fell down.Liu Chan hurriedly supported him, only to realize that Fazheng's face was pale and his spirit was listless. Thinking of him kneeling for nearly a day and a night, he regretted it, so he hurriedly asked.

"Is Da Sima seriously ill, do you need to rest?"

Fazheng shook the spirit strongly, and talked with Liu Chan.

"In the face of national crisis, how can I have time to rest? The king has no worries, so I will rush to direct the overall situation!"

After Fazheng finished speaking, he quickly cast glances at Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and others.But before leaving, Fazheng did not forget to teach his confidant soldiers, and led a team of soldiers to Nie You's house to monitor his family.Nie You escaped, but still lowered his head and put his whole face on the ground, weeping in a low voice, extremely embarrassed.At this time, Liu Chan was afraid of arousing public anger and left in a hurry without caring about Nie You.Gritting his teeth secretly, Nie You swore in his heart, with a ferocious face on the ground like a ghost.

"Liu Adou! Fa Xiaozhi! Today's humiliation, I will definitely pay back ten times in the future!!"

On the other side, outside Linhe North Gate.Zhao Yun spread out his posture, galloped out, and yelled at Fazheng to come out and answer.But there was a panic in the city, and no one came to answer.

"Looks like His Highness expected!!"

Zhao Yun's heart was overjoyed, he made a prompt decision, and quickly taught the soldiers to attack on a large scale.All of a sudden, there was a loud drum beating and shouts of killing everywhere.Wen Shun, Deng Ai, and Yu Wenke led most of the army's soldiers and horses to swarm up, and a ladder car rolled and rattled, Wang Linhe pressed them away.The Shu soldiers in the city were in a mess. Seeing the Tang army attacking in large numbers, the ladder carts, like giant beasts, were coming with their teeth and claws. They were all frightened and didn't know what to do.The more Zhao Yun looked at it, the more delighted he was. He thought to himself that it was very possible to break through Linhe in one fell swoop and capture all the remaining evildoers of Remnant Shu.Although Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others are far away in Wu, as long as Liu Chan can be captured, the two of them will not be a problem.So Zhao Yun rode his horse to the front and personally supervised the army.The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they kept pressing forward, and the ladder carts approached one after another. At the same time, groups of Tang soldiers and horses each took wooden stakes and rushed over, trying to smash through the city gate.

The momentum under the city was mighty and earth-shattering.The Shu soldiers in the city were still panicked and went about their own business, either attacking with arrows or throwing falling stones.It's a pity that the Tang soldiers under the city had been prepared for a long time, and the offensive was not concentrated, and they fought on their own, so the effect was minimal.Seeing this, Zhao Yun galloped his horse forward and shouted loudly.

"I am Zhao Zilong, the dragon general of the Western Tang Dynasty!! People of Shu in the city, listen, you follow Liu Chan and leave your hometown and leave the well, fleeing here, you are like a lonely ghost, here, Central Sichuan has belonged to me in the Western Tang Dynasty, and the people of all states are divided After getting the land, you and the family all look forward to your return as soon as possible, so why don't you sacrifice the city quickly."

From Zhao Yun's words, the Shu soldiers in the city remained unchanged, almost half of the soldiers were shaken, thinking of the old and the young at home, they all felt sad.At this moment, Fazheng finally led Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and other generals to rush over.Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Fazheng's face was shocked, his face was full of anger, and he shouted sharply.

"Dog thief! Don't deceive the people with gossip!! In the past, my Shu Han ancestor was deeply respected by the people in Shu, supported and loved by the people. The ancestor never failed the people. How could the people fail the ancestor!? This The people of the Shu land, hope day and night to restore the country!! Thief, listen, one day our army of the Shu Han will regroup and rescue the people of the Shu land from the fire!!"

Fazheng roared at the top of his lungs, the sound shook all directions, and the soldiers on the city changed color again when they heard this.Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.At this time, the two generals Pan Ping and Zhang Bao had already secretly pulled the bowstring under the signal of Fazheng.
