Chapter 943: The Magnificent Power of Han (Sixty-Seven)

A group of cavalrymen came straight from a distance, rolled up smoke and dust, and rushed towards the gate of Daliang City, causing a panic at the city gate and on the city gate. Warning horns kept sounding, and groups of soldiers quickly ran up the city wall. , the city gate also slowly closed, and the endless flow of people entering and exiting the city gate became chaotic.

Getting a little closer, the city finally saw the flag of this cavalry clearly. It was the flag of Zhao Jun Zhou Changshou. It was a false alarm. When the alarm was lifted and the city gate was reopened, the cavalry had already rolled over like the wind.

"Make way, make way!" the knights on horseback roared angrily. The violent cavalry once again caused panic at the city gate. People fled in all directions. Many people fell together and fell into a heap. Curses rang out everywhere.

Ge An, the tooth general of the Wei army who was responsible for the defense of the city gate, looked at the arrogant Zhao cavalry and took a deep breath: "Damn, you are so arrogant. The Han army is already here. Let's see how long you can keep your cool."

Zhao Jun has always appeared as a savior in Wei State. Their combat effectiveness is indeed much higher than that of Wei Army, but their combat effectiveness is matched by their poor military discipline. In Daliang, it is common for Zhao Army to pick quarrels and cause trouble. Under normal circumstances, people in Wei did not dare to take control and could not take control. Even if someone bold enough took control, the final outcome would be for the bold person to take the blame. In the past two years, many people have lost their jobs because of this.

Ge'an has been serving as the general of the city gate for quite some time. His predecessor was finally forced to resign because he arrested several Zhao soldiers who ran their horses into pedestrians at the city gate. After he took office, he treated the Zhao people Hengxing adopted the strategy of closing his eyes.

A few days ago, the Han army arrived and set up camp ten miles away from Daliang City. Every day, soldiers from the Han army went to Daliang City to play or purchase. What surprised Ge'an was the military discipline of these soldiers. Although they were When they went out to play, these soldiers were still wearing uniforms meticulously. Each group had a leader. When entering the city, they formed a neat team and entered the city in order like ordinary people. Ge'an once encountered these soldiers while playing in the city. Han soldiers seemed to line up neatly wherever they went, as if the procession was a part of life for them.

It has been several days since the Han army arrived in Daliang, but so far, as the gatekeeper of the city, he has not heard of a conflict between the Han army and the locals, bullying men and women, and being tyrannical.

It is clear at a glance who is superior between the Han and Zhao armies.

"General, there were a few people at the city gate who were injured from falls, and two more were whipped several times. The other few who went into the city to sell wild goods had all their goods scattered, they were trampled to pieces, and they were crying at the city gate. Now What should we do?" A sentry commander ran into the tower and said to Ge An.

Ge An said angrily: "What can I do? What can I do? Didn't you see the flag? It's General Zhou. Let them consider themselves unlucky."

"Yes!" The sentry commander had a dark face and was about to retreat. He was a local. Naturally, he couldn't bear this, but he had to bear it. Just as he turned around, there was another intensive sound of horse hooves outside. Ge An couldn't help but be startled. He suddenly jumped up and asked, "Is it over yet?" He took a few steps out of the tower and stood in front of the wall, his eyes suddenly widened.

"It's the cavalry of the Han army!"

In the distance, a bright red flag fluttered in the wind. Dozens of cavalry galloped towards the city at a faster speed than the previous Zhao army. Kankan approached the city gate. With a sound of horse neighing, all the horses stopped. Ge An saw The huge word "step" on the flag made me want to cry. The general of the Zhao army, Zhou Changshou, had just left, and the general and infantry of the Han army had arrived again. What's going on today?

"What's going on?" The infantryman turned over and dismounted, and his iron feet struck the bluestone at the city gate, making a clanging sound.

A soldier trotted over at the door and bowed respectfully to the infantry: "Back to the general, the cavalry of General Zhou Changshou just passed by. These people couldn't avoid it, and that's why it turned out like this!"

The infantryman snorted and looked up at the tower. Ge An shrank, but under the intense gaze of the other party, knowing that he couldn't hide, he bit the bullet and got off the tower.

"Ya General Ge An, I have met General Bu." Ge An bowed.

The infantryman waved his hand, "What's going on?"

Ge An looked troubled, "General Bu, Zhao Jun has always been like this, and we can't control it."

"You are the gatekeeper of the city, why can't you control it?"

Ge An smiled bitterly, "The general's boss is still in jail and eating prison food just because he took care of it!"

The infantryman chuckled, "It's quite impressive." He turned around and raised his fingers, and a guard came over. "Did you bring any money?"

The guard took out a bag from his body and said, "That's it."

The infantryman opened it and saw about five taels of silver. Then he turned to look at the person he was handling. Several other guards came over, took out their own silver bags and handed them to the infantryman.

Gathering the silver together, the infantryman threw it to Ge'an, "Let's give these people the money to see a doctor first."

"This, this... how can the general want the general's money? The general will take out the money from the city entrance tax to compensate them. Speaking of which, this is also the general's dereliction of duty, but there is nothing I can do about it, general!" "Ge An muttered.

The infantryman sneered, "I know, do you think I will give away this money for free? When I meet Zhou Changshou later, I will naturally ask him to get it back. Not a penny can be lost from me. Take it!"

Throwing the silver to Ge'an, the infantry turned around, mounted their horses, and rode away.

Blinking his eyes and looking at the retreating figures of the infantry, Ge An wiped the sweat from his face. Is this the rhythm of the two armies going to fight? Oh my god, no, if these two groups fight, Daliang will be killed. Disaster.

When gods fight, it brings disaster to the fish in the pond!

Holding the money bag in his hand, looking at the guys who were still moaning and crying, I couldn't help but feel irritated. Damn you, if you had escaped faster, wouldn't these things be gone? Throw the money bag to your side. The commander of the post said, "Give it to these lucky guys. Don't lose a penny. If anyone dares to pocket it for himself, I will chop off his hand."

Ge'an turned around and went up to the tower gloomily. Before he could sit firmly on his butt, the sound of horse hooves came again from outside. This time it was Wei Jun's own sentinels who came.

"General Ge, it's not good. Please report to the superiors immediately. Zhao cavalry and Han cavalry are facing off outside the Han army camp." The sentry cavalry ran up out of breath and shouted loudly.

There was a buzz in Ge'an's mind, he grabbed the helmet on the table, ran down the tower like the wind, got on his horse, and galloped inwards.

Zhou Changshou rode his horse up to Wu Qi's chief assistant yamen. With his face full of anger, he didn't even look at the guard who bowed to him at the door. He pushed hard and pushed the guy off his buttocks and fell to the ground. With a black face, he rushed towards The lobby where Wu Qi handled government affairs.

He had been here a lot, and he was very familiar with it, so he didn't need anyone to guide him. Seeing Zhou Changshou's menacing attitude, the officials and soldiers who were coming and going all the way moved to both sides of the place knowingly.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Zhou Changshou stared angrily at Wu Qi, who was sitting behind the big case.

"Wu Shoufu, what does this mean?"

Zhou Changshou couldn't help but be angry. More than ten days ago, Wu Qi deceived him out of Daliang on the pretext of inspecting the border and reorganizing troops. He went to the front line for inspection until he received a message from the Zhao army stationed in Daliang on Pegasus. , only then did we know that Wu Qi had actually colluded with the Han army, and nearly 10,000 Han army infantry and cavalry had already stationed in Daliang.

"General Zhou, why are you so angry? Who provoked you? Wu will definitely take him down and deal with him severely!" Wu Qi put down the brush in his hand with a smile and said calmly.

"It's your Majesty and Chief Wu who have made me angry. I wonder how you can deal with it?" Zhou Changshou walked to the side of Wu Qi's case, held the edge of the case with both hands, and asked coldly.

Wu Qi was angry in his heart, but his face was calm: "General Zhou, we have always responded to all your army's requests. Whether it is salary or food and supplies, we always put your army first. I don't know if there is anything we can't do well." What place makes the general so angry?"

"These are all earned by our army working hard for your country." Zhou Changshou said coldly, "I just want to know what your king means by introducing the Han army into Daliang?"

"So this is what happened?" Wu Qi suddenly realized: "General Zhou, you should also know the current situation of your country. The last time the truth met with the chief minister of your country, Zhao Chief Minister made it clear that in the following time, Zhao It is impossible for the mainland of my country to send reinforcements to our country, and other support for us will continue to weaken. As for the war on the border between us and Qin, General Zhou knows better than me. Your Majesty, please be prepared for a rainy day and ask the King of Han to send troops to support our country's resistance. Qin, I think this is a good thing. Not only can it help our country, but it can also reduce the pressure on General Zhou's subordinates. I wonder why General Zhou is angry?"

Zhou Changshou glared at Wu Qi, "Wu Shoufu, is your country betraying Zhao?"

Wu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, "General Zhou, our two countries are in an alliance. Your army helps our country resist the Qin army, and at the same time it reduces the pressure on your country facing the Qin army. We have a mutually beneficial relationship, why would you betray us?" Say? Besides, the Han army is indeed here, but have we ever shortchanged your army’s pay and supplies? General Zhou, you should know this very well. It’s not that we betrayed the State of Zhao, but that the State of Zhao abandoned us. We You have to find another way out, don't you?"

Zhou Changshou's face turned red. Of course he also knew about Zhao Qi's conspiracy with Han Wang Gaoyuan. As for him, of course he did not want to, because he was Zhao Mu's person and his relationship with Zhao Qi was unfamiliar, so he sent him to Coming to the Kingdom of Wei is another kind of exile in itself. In the past two years, I have struggled hard in the Kingdom of Wei to support the overall situation, but now, Zhao will give up if he says to give up. The most important thing is that he released the King of Han without even understanding the attitude of the King of Han. This move was completely sold out by Gao Yuan, making it extremely difficult for him to be a human being. If this situation continues, his prospects will be worrying. Returning to China? What can he do after going back? What can Zhao Qi do? Reuse your own principles? I'm afraid that the best ending would be to be disarmed and return to work.

"Chief Wu, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that the front line will collapse?" He openly threatened Wu Qi.

"General Zhou!" Wu Qi shouted, "Think twice before you act. If General Zhou does this, I'm afraid the fate of the Zhao army in Wei will be equally worrying. When that happens, what will happen to you, General Zhou?" "(To be continued)
