Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 258 The Night Banquet
"Okay!" Wang Wenzuo said: "You tell Hei Chi Changzhi that Chi Shouxin was found, and this matter will be settled, and Baekje will be at peace!"

"Yes, this matter will be settled, and Baekje will be at peace!" The emissary repeated Wang Wenzuo's words loudly, kowtowed again, got up and took six or seven steps back, before turning around and leaving.

"Join the army!" Yuan Aolie said with a smile, "What are your plans after returning to Tang Dynasty?"

"Back to Datang?" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "It's too early to mention this now, as far as I can see, things on Baekje's side are not so easy to settle!"

Wang Wenzuo's guess was soon confirmed. Until the evening of the third day, Hei Chi Changzhi did not find Chi Shouxin's body. As time passed, the hope of finding the body became more and more remote. Wang Wenzuo could imagine Black-toothed Changzhi, Monobu Lianxiong, and Shoujun Oishi must be in panic and anxiety at the moment, but he has no choice. As the leader of an army, the only thing he can do is to force his subordinates to There must be a result.

"Join the army!" Black-toothed Changzhi said with a bitter expression, "I have ordered a full-scale search, and the Monobe even Xiong and Shoujun Dashi haven't rested for several days, but—"

"But still haven't found Chi Shouxin?" Wang Wenzuo interrupted Hei Chi Chang Zhi: "You want to tell me this?"

"Yes!" Black Tooth Changzhi took a deep breath: "I have separated the captives and tortured them severely. It was true that Chixin left the city that night and commanded the night attack, but he disappeared in the scuffle!"

"Missing?" Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Don't you say that he died in the night attack?"

"Yes!" Black Tooth Changzhi sighed: "The body has not been found so far. It seems that he has a high possibility of escaping. After all, the terrain around the mountain city is very complicated. He is very familiar with the terrain here, and it is night. , escaped through a road we don’t know, it’s not impossible!”

Wang Wenzuo stood up, his footsteps were heavy in armor, his black teeth often lowered his head, he was ready to accept any punishment in his heart, in all honesty, this Wang Canjun is not a person who treats people harshly, But this matter is too important, and he doesn't know what punishment he will receive.

"Are you familiar with Chi Shouxin's appearance and figure?"

"Very familiar, I knew him before the fall of Sibi City."

"That's good, you find one among the corpses of the Baekje people who is similar in body and appearance, and then cut off his head!"

"Ah?" Hei Chi Changzhi raised his head in astonishment and stared at Wang Wenzuo, almost unable to believe his ears.

"There are 2000 people in the city. It shouldn't be difficult to find a person with similar appearance to him among the 2000 people. Even if there are some differences, the appearance will change after death. The weather is very hot now, so there should be no one. You can tell the truth from the fake, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Hei Chi Changzhi instinctively responded twice, and soon realized something was wrong: "Yes, but isn't this a deception?"

"Cheat? Who did I deceive?" Wang Wenzuo sneered, "Both Zhouliu City and Ren Cun City have been captured, and the guards in the city are all dead. Is there anything wrong with that? Even if some people claim to be Chi Shouxin, that is also a fake name, and it can only be a fake name, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Hei Chi Changzhi also understood what Wang Wenzuo meant when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face: "Then we will deal with it immediately!"

"Wait a minute!" Wang Wenzuo called Hei Chi Changzhi: "It's still daytime, take it out after dark, and the two of them, Monobe Renxiong and Shoujun Oishi, don't need to know so much, understand? ?”

"I will understand at the end!"

"Well, let's go!" Wang Wenzuo waved his hand, seeing Heizhi Changzhi's back was covered by the curtain, he let out a long breath.It is not difficult to win a battle, but it is not easy to end a war. In history, there are many cases where the entire empire was dragged down in the end.Counting from when Su Dingfang broke Sibi City and conquered Baekje, the war has lasted for three years. It is not a good sign that the coveted neighbor Silla is becoming stronger and stronger. The land that the sons and daughters of Tang, Hebei, and Shandong people exchanged with their blood and sweat was not for the Silla people to make wedding dresses for.In addition, Wang Wenzuo himself has accumulated enough military achievements and reputation in this war. Now is the time to exchange these things for practical benefits. Well, if another person is appointed as the chief official, and the new official ignores the old accounts, Wang Wenzuo's original credit will be in vain.

"Sancho!"

"What orders does the master have!" Sancho entered the tent and bowed deeply to Wang Wenzuo.

"Do you still remember the time I asked you and Yuan Fei to recruit civilian husbands?"

"Remember!" Sancho said, "Is there anything else you want them to do?"

"No, the battle is over, and there's nothing else to do!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "It's thanks to their effectiveness that we won this time. Now go to the camp at the foot of the mountain and tell the leaders of the people. I'm going to hold a banquet in three days, so be careful." Thanks to them!"

Three nights later, at the Tang army camp at the foot of the mountain.

The curtains around the big tent of the Chinese army have been rolled up tonight, and the moonlight has entered the tent.In the three large stone fire pits, the flames leaped high, ten feet above the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue and fine wine. When Wang Wenzuo and his party entered, the tent was already full of people, and the cushions on both sides were full of people. These are people who are of low status on weekdays and are not qualified to participate in banquets.All eyes were on Wang Wenzuo as he walked through the outer gate of the camp, and Baekje whispered about his continued victories, envied his unchanging good fortune, and his kindness and generosity.

Wang Wenzuo couldn't fully hear what they said, but there was one sentence that was very clear: "General, the invincible general!" Hundreds of mouths shouted in unison.

The sound of flute, gayageum, and tambourine resounded through the night sky. Dishes were placed on the low table, with chestnuts and dates piled high on the plate, as well as large pieces of meat and corn rice mixed with nuts. While the witches danced and shuttled, many people were already dazed by the wine, but no one dared to quarrel.

Wang Wenzuo sat in the middle seat, Yuan Fei and Sangqiu sat cross-legged at his feet, Shen Faseng and He Bayong also sat in the right seat, Wang Wenzuo glanced at everyone in the tent, trying to find a familiar face, but after a few minutes Giving up, all he could see were black eyes, a bronze face, disheveled hair, shabby clothes, and an awkward expression. It seemed that they had no chance to participate in such banquets in the past.
