high official

Chapter 1218

Bauhinia Pass.

At the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers saw that the city gate opened without warning, naturally Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, and asked the Shangguan why the gate opened late at night?The superiors were equally at a loss, and wanted to ask the commander to clarify, but he was nowhere to be seen.Only the Deputy Commander Ma at the head of the city was found.

"My lord, why did the city gate open?" All the generals asked one after another.

"Why do you care so much, adults have their own opinions." Deputy Commander Ma scolded the generals with a straight face: "Go for what you should do, don't make a fuss here."

Although the generals were still full of doubts, they could only hold back the question. When they saw a large army entering the city, they suddenly realized that it was the commander who got the order to open the door to receive reinforcements into the city.

As a result, the defenders in the city were in this state of bewilderment, watching helplessly as the large army entered the city, then seized important areas, and had to disarm them.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The generals and their subordinates were very angry, wondering where this army came from, why did they start fighting?

Just as the defenders were about to fight back, the uninvited guests yelled, "Don't move! We are the army of Lord Zhen Guo. Anyone who dares to move will kill him!"

Saying that, those uninvited guests raised their knives and hacked several defenders to death on the spot!

"Damn it!" The officers and soldiers of the defending army were scared out of their wits, only then did they realize that it was the enemy who let them in!
Guancheng became a mess immediately, and most of the defenders were stunned, but there were also many people who drew their weapons and wanted to resist.It's not how loyal the defenders are to the imperial court, but it's just how fucking embarrassing it is to be knocked open at the Bauhinia Pass like this!

Wang Xianjun entered the city smoothly and wiped out the natural danger. The morale of the whole army was extremely high. Seeing this, they raised their swords to meet them without any hesitation, and fought with those defenders who dared to resist!
"Don't fight!" The Commander appeared on the top of the city and shouted to his subordinates: "This general has decided to submit to the Lord! Punish the treacherous ministers, the Qing emperor's side, and your own people don't beat your own people!"

Originally, at this time, there were not many people who still wanted to resist. Hearing the general's roar, the defenders completely lost their fighting spirit. They dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.

Wang Xian captured Zijing Pass almost without a single soldier, which seemed ten times easier than capturing Zhangjiakou Fortress.But if Liu Sheng hadn't led more than [-] horses to attract attention for him, hadn't had the arduous rapid march, hadn't concealed his whereabouts during the march of more than two hundred miles, hadn't Xu Jingchang's cooperation in mobilizing most of the troops, there would have been no city gates. With the sudden opening, it is impossible for him to win so easily, and he may even be blocked from the Bauhinia Pass and fall into a desperate situation!

You know, with just Wang Xian's men and horses, all of whom are cavalry with neither siege equipment nor siege experience, even if there are only 1000 people in the pass city, they can rely on the natural danger of the great pass to keep him out of the pass !

.

Liu Zijin entered the Bauhinia Pass with a face full of rejoicing and fear, and immediately saw Ma Laoliu, who was being interrogated by several Jinyi guards there.

Looking at the posture of those guards in Jinyi, it seemed that they did not regard Ma Laoliu as one of their own, but were rather on guard for interrogation.Liu Zijin couldn't hold back the fire, walked over and pushed away a Jin Yiwei, shouting loudly: "How could you do this? If General Ma hadn't opened the city gate, you don't know how many people died!"

Jin Yiwei looked at Liu Zijin with a strange expression on his face, and the Deputy Commander Ma patted Liu Zijin on the shoulder with a wry smile, "Sixth, you misunderstood, I didn't open the city gate at all."

"What? Could it be opened by itself?" Liu Zijin was stunned.

Deputy Commander Ma pointed to the distance, and a person standing next to Wang Xian said: "It was opened by our Commander."

"Ah?" Liu Zijin's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

.

In the distance, Wang Xian stood at the head of the city with his hands behind his back, and the commander stood beside him respectfully, looking at Wang Xian with reverence in his eyes and saying: "Military division, luckily you have fulfilled your mission!"

"Okay, you're fine." Wang Xian smiled approvingly, "It's been hard for you these years."

"Fortunately, Mr. Dingguo dispatched [-] troops from Zijingguan, so it was the last general's turn to call the shots." The commander was in his thirties, with a fair face and a woman's appearance, and he spoke in a soft voice: It is the long-cherished wish of the general for many years to serve the military division like Lao Xu, Lao Mo and the others!"

At this time, Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen also came over, the former put his arms around the commander's neck, laughed and said: "Little sister Zhang Yi, you are hiding so deeply, I thought you were determined to go with Zhu Zhanji , it breaks my heart!"

"Fucking Xu Huaiqing, if you dare to call me this nickname again, I'll kill you!" Zhang Yi blushed and stared at Xu Huaiqing fiercely, but the next moment he also burst out laughing, and hugged him tightly. Hug together.I haven't forgotten to ask Mo Dao: "Old Mo, this grandson scolded me behind his back, didn't he?"

Mo Wen stood aside with a smile, nodded and said, "Of course, with his stinking mouth, who would dare to scold him except a military division?"

"There are still some, and his mother-in-law doesn't dare to scold him." Zhang Yi hit the nail on the head to expose Xu Huaiqing's inner fear, causing Xu Huaiqing's face to turn red.

The three former guards who joined the army and were trained by Wang Xian burst out into hearty laughter.

Wang Xian looked at the three of them with satisfaction, as if he had returned to many years ago when he was ordered to form the vanguard of the government army.

Like Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen, Zhang Yi was one of the earliest avant-garde officers of the government army, but the difference was that the latter two were born in martial arts, but he was born in generals.Of course, he is not the successor of Jingnan hero, but the descendant of the founding hero. In his generation, he not only has no titles, but also has been squeezed out by Jingnan nobles. of officers.

They were born and died together in the vanguard of the government army, participated in all the battles of Wang Xian in the early stage, and made illustrious military exploits.But after the Zhenjiang Defense War, they were ignored by the emperor, and they were not replenished with soldiers for several years, making the prestigious avant-garde of the prefectural army an empty shell.

It was during this period that Xu Huaiqing, Mo Wen and others left the vanguard of the government army and joined Wang Xian's Shandong army.

At that time, although Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji seemed close, these close generals already felt that the rift between them was irreparable.

Therefore, whether to go to Shandong or not has become the way for this group of generals to stand in line.Emotionally, they are naturally closer, Wang Xian who trained them single-handedly and led them to fight everywhere.But the grandson is the prince and their rightful master, so most of the officers who were born as generals stayed.

And those military officers who were born in martial arts, psychologically agree with Wang Xian, who was also from a humble background like them, and His Royal Highness showed more and more utilitarian thinking, trying to win over noble generals in every possible way, which really chilled them.Therefore, most military officers decided to join Wang Xian.

But this is not absolute. For example, although Qin Ya and others were born in martial arts, they still stayed with Zhu Zhanji.And some generals' disciples resolutely decided to go to Shandong... These people are basically the descendants of the founding generals. Xu Huaiqing and others thought that Zhang Yi would go with him, but he stayed.

Zhang Yi said that he was reluctant to leave the avant-garde of the government army behind, but in the eyes of Xu Huaiqing and others, he parted ways, and after that, his brothers turned against each other and never interacted with each other.Later, Wang Xian became the governor, and it was up to him to decide whether military officials in the world should be punished or not.Wang Xian still seems to resent Zhang Yi's choice back then. In three years, he was demoted three ranks in a row, from deputy governor to commander, and sent far away from the capital...

From everyone's point of view, the two must have formed a deadly feud now, and Zhu Zhanji was naturally very relieved of Zhang Yi, and handed over the Bauhinia Pass to him to guard.He also wanted to promote him to be a governor, but Zhang Yi rejected him on the grounds that he had not accomplished an inch and did not dare to be rewarded. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised him full of praise, and promised that he would be knighted after the war and restore the glory of his grandfather!
Unexpectedly, such a general who made Zhu Zhanji feel at ease was actually Wang Xian's man...

.

On the top of Zijingguan City, Wang Xian personally explained to Zhang Yi: "Back then, he wrote to me, hoping that I could get him to Shandong, but I hoped that he would stay with Zhu Zhanji..." Speaking of Now, Wang Xian coughed dryly and said: "At that time, I was thinking that in the future, someone must speak for me..."

"Hey..." Xu Huaiqing and the others laughed strangely. They have been with Wang Xian for so many years, so how could they not know his deep-minded and long-distance virtue.I'm afraid that at that time, he had already expected that there might be a day when he would turn against the court...

"Well, I'm just in case." In front of all the old brothers, Wang Xian no longer concealed, and spread his hands together: "But I really didn't expect that these things would happen in the Hongxi Dynasty..."

The three of them brought Wang Xian's words back from their good memories to reality.That's right, the court's action came so suddenly that almost everyone was caught off guard, even at this moment, Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen would still confuse their identities from time to time.It's unbelievable, why did he become a rebel in the blink of an eye?
"Hey, it's very difficult to get off after getting on my thief ship." Wang Xian looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "I hope you don't regret it."

"Your lord lives up to the conscience of heaven and earth, and your lord lives up to the people of Huaxia. He treats me like brothers and sisters. I will follow my lord. I will die without regret!" Zhang Yi said boldly without hesitation.

"A hundred deaths without regret!" Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen also said in a deep voice.

"I hope none of you will die..." Wang Xian looked at these brothers with a full expression. In his life, he had been brothers Fu Ye and Mio Ye, but he never regretted it.After finishing speaking, Wang Xian's expression sank and he said: "Although we took down the Bauhinia Pass without bloodshed, we can finally advance to the mainland smoothly, but it doesn't mean that it will be easy in the future. The real bloody battle is waiting for us ahead!"

"Yes!" The generals responded in unison.
