Chapter 29 The Deputy General to Die
Cao Tian, the Zhijun of Zhenrong, did not pay attention to the army next to the king. When he was just walking outside the city in the city, the judge Hu Ke also reminded Cao Tian that if he did not line up to welcome Ma Budu to command Yue Li, it would cause Yue Li's dissatisfaction. Cao Tian said disdainfully, "What Yue Li commanded, haven't you heard of it? There are kings all the way. The supervisor next to him is in charge.
Hu Ke said, "The king is next to the king of Zhennan. That's the only king with different surnames in my Song Dynasty. It can be seen that the emperor also favors him. Cao Zhijun has disobeyed his orders first. I'm afraid that it will go on like this..."
"Stop talking." Cao Tian interrupted Hu Ke, looked around at the deputy general and the bodyguard beside him and said loudly, "He is a king of Zhennan. He should stay in the south. Is there anything to shout about when he runs to the northwest border? I have been guarding the town for generations and using him to command the border?"
"No need, Cao Zhijun is right." The deputy general beside him echoed and said in a high voice,
Hu Ke shook his head helplessly. Cao Tian, the Zhijun, went his own way. At present, the deputy general beside him and most of the officials in Zhenrong were his cronies, and outsiders couldn't interrupt at all.
When this group came to the outside of the city and saw the big tent standing not far from the opposite side, Hu Ke understood that the king of Zhennan did not seem to plan to welcome Cao Tian into the city at all. Now Cao Tian had a good show. He looked at Cao Tian resentfully. As he judged, Cao Tian's face was also very ugly.
Cao Tian had already figured it in his heart. He didn't get off his horse when he left the city. When he saw Wang, he would salute immediately. Moreover, it was impossible for Wang to call Zhenrong's soldiers and reserves. What he thought was very good, but the other party didn't give him a chance to show off his power at all. The deputy general who heard the message said that Wang was in the middle of the big tent. Cao Tian urged the horse to go to the big tent with a black face. As he walked, he thought about his mother's bad luck. What was the way for this king? Unexpectedly, he guessed that I was going to give him a horse,
The group went to the place guarded by the guards in front of the big tent. The guards on both sides raised their guns and drank: "Get off the horse."
Cao Tian took the horse and said loudly in the big tent, "Zhen Rong Zhijun Cao Tian, please meet General Yue and the King of Zhennan." He thought, won't Wang and others come out like this? In this way, he will have some face at least under him.
As soon as he picked up the curtain, a young general came out of the tent. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was very shrewd and capable. He stepped to the horses of Cao Tian and others and asked with his hands behind his backs, "Do the guards and officials of Zhenrong want to ride horses into the big tent of the Chinese army?"
The vice generals and bodyguards around Cao Tian and the officials of Zhen Rong looked at each other in cons. They also seemed to feel that it was too exaggerated to ride a horse into the middle army tent, but of course they would not dismount if Cao Tian did not dismount. Cao Tian was drunk by this young general and was a little annoyed. No one dared to talk to him like this in Zhenrong. The Song Dynasty accepted the Tang Dynasty. The lesson of the separation of Panzhen, in order to weaken local power, the road was used as the jurisdiction of the agency dispatched by the imperial court, and sent a wise army to replace the position of governor since the end of the Tang Dynasty. Only those who have special expectations among the prince's relatives and former ministers can be awarded this official position.
"Little baby, don't you know who the army is? The army is a third-class official of the imperial court. Go back and tell your general and the prince. Just say that the army is busy with military affairs. If they don't come out, I will go back to the city." Cao Tian said aggressively and turned his face and didn't look at the young general.
The young general listened and smiled: "I thought who it was. It turned out that you were Cao Zhijun. OK, wait, Grandpa Tong will send you a message."
When Cao Tian heard Tong Guan call himself, he must have heard of his name. He received it without thinking about it: "Okay, go quickly."
The bodyguards on both sides of the big tent heard that Tong Guan claimed to be Grandpa Tong. Cao Tian still promised, and he couldn't help laughing. Cao Tian also seemed to reflect that something was wrong. Just as he wanted to ask the deputy general around him what the doll said. Suddenly, Tong Guan raised the long gun in his hand and said, "Then you have to uny Grandpa Tong first." Sooner or later, Tong Guan shook his long gun and shot Cao Tian's horse's neck fiercely. This shot directly pierced the large artery under Cao Tian's horse's neck,
A blood injection spewed out, and Cao Tian's horse fluttered to the ground. At the same time, Cao Tian also fell down from the horse. Tong Guan said loudly to the tent, "Tell me, Lord, Cao Tian got off the horse."
"Tie it in." There was a majestic and low voice from the big tent. Several bodyguards rushed and grabbed Cao Tian and tied him up. Cao Tian was shocked by the deputy generals. Who gave him power to whom? Who is this boy? And the king of Zhennan in it, how tough it is,
"Who else wants to get off like this." Tong Guan poked the long gun on the ground and looked at the people on the horse and asked,
Hu Ke jumped off the horse in a hurry, and others also jumped off the horse. Cao Tian just understood the taste and couldn't help scolding, "You boy, how dare to treat the court officials like this. You are too bold. I'm a third-grade official and a relative of the emperor. If you dare to kidnap me, what else is the son of the south king of the town? If Xixia hadn't sent troops, You are the only prince with a title and no official position, who can carry so many soldiers.
The bodyguard didn't care about this. He pushed him into the big tent, followed by a group of stunned officials and deputy generals.
There are two people sitting behind a bookcase in the big account. One is in his thirties. His long face is very white, with three hairs and slight whiskers. His arms are wide and round, and his body is very powerful. A young man sitting next to him can be described by a poem: a cold temple artifact, a pair of pupils cutting autumn water, and his sword eyebrows and tiger eyes are staring at the quilt. Cao Tian, who came in and scolded,
Zhe Kejun in the account, Zhang Ping and their deputy generals, as well as Zhe Kexing, Zhong Shidao and others have been very dissatisfied with Cao Tian for a long time, but he was very relieved to see that he was tied in like this. He stood on both sides and looked at him coldly. Cao Tian looked at Yue Li and then at the side of the king. His eyes were opposite to the king, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. Trembling, the king of Zhennan was so young, and his expression was as cold as fast ice. His eyes were simply not angry and arrogant. Suddenly, Cao Tian was a little discouraged, but he still looked at Wang and wanted to see what you dared to do to me.
Cao Tian's arms were tied back, and he shook his bodyguard with his shoulder. He looked at the two people in the big tent and did not bow down. He asked, "Who gave you such courage to treat the court officials like this."
Wang was very tired of the noisy Cao Tian and ordered both sides: "Gag him up first."
"I'll do it." Tong Guan jumped out again and gave a look. The two came to Cao Tian, and several bodyguards pressed down Cao Tian. Tong Guan and Zhe took off Cao Tian's boots, untied the leggings, pulled down Cao Tian's cloth socks, and tucked them into Cao Tian's mouth, "Woo-hoo." Cao Tian was angry and noisy, but immediately he couldn't say anything except whining,
"Hahaha, the feet are so smelly" Several people laughed,
"You, it's too much to dare to treat Cao Zhijun like this." A deputy general of Cao Tian was angry,
"Who are you? Name it." Wang asked,
The deputy general said, "I am the deputy general of Cao Zhijun, the garrison of Zhenrong."
The king nodded and asked calmly, "Zhang Ze, have you ever participated in the matter of blocking my order to let go of the Western Xia soldiers?"
"Of course, blocking the Xixia soldiers is the position of my first army." Zhang Zhi saw that Wang was just a young man, and he was not as harsh on himself as he was to Cao Tian. He said with his head held high,
Wang side smiled and said, "Okay, speak for you, Zhijun. It's in good spirits. Come on, push him out and behead him."
"Ah." Zhang Zhi's face turned white when he heard this. What kind of prince is this? He just said a word and was going to be be beheaded. It's not that he heard it wrong. Not only did he think so, but everyone from Zhenrong thought so. Even Cao Tian was surprised. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention beheading a deputy general,
The bodyguard in the tent next to the king didn't think so. What the prince said was an order. Two bodyguards immediately came up and pushed Zhang out of the account. After a while, Zhang's head was sent back to the Chinese army's tent. Hu Ke's legs were weak at this time. If Cao Tian was the overlord, then the king of Zhennan was the demon king. The overlord met the demon king. This is simply not a level,
"Who else participated in the robbery of Xixia deserters?" Wang asked harshly,
There was no sound in the big tent. The officials and vice generals of Zhenrong bowed their heads and did not dare to come out. Someone secretly looked at Cao Tian. Cao Tian's eyes were staring, his face was pale, and the beads of sweat flowed straight down.
The king looked at these people disdainfully and wanted to follow Cao Tian and the king. Today, let me show you what the real power is. He then asked, "Has the general judgment of Zhenrong come?"
As soon as Hu Ke heard this, his heart jumped to his throat. He stood out with his legs shaking and said tremblingly, "You are the king of Zhennan. The lower official is Zhen Rongtong's judgment of Hu Ke."
Wang Bing looked up and down at Hu Ke. This man was 40 or 50 years old. He looked like a scholar. He was a little timid and weak. Most of them couldn't resist Cao Tian's power here. Wang Bian asked with a heavy face, "Hu Ke, do you know what the duty of the general judgment is?"
Hu Ke bowed his head and said, "The imperial court set up a general judgment to take charge of state government with him, in order to contain each other, so as not to form a power to divide one side..."
"You're not confused, so I'll ask you if you think you are competent." The king forced him to ask,
Hu Ke thought to himself that the king of Zhennan was really not an ordinary person. He not only didn't rub sand in his eyes, but also was decisive. It seemed that Cao Tian was a horizontal one today. He couldn't be wrapped up with Cao Tian. Thinking of this, Hu Ke hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm really incompetent, but Cao Zhijun is in power here. He said it's our root. I can't make the decision. If you don't believe it, ask these people. We don't dare to disobey Cao Zhijun.
Wang thought that this man was an old man. When he said so, Cao Tian would inevitably be hated. Now he pulled these people up and turned Cao Tian together. Those people would not hate Hu Ke if they were not involved by Cao Tian. Sure enough, as Wang expected, the officials of Zhen Rong were afraid of having nothing to do with Cao Tian at this moment, especially this time. The responsible person was still staring at the cautious people. Everyone quickly echoed Hu Ke's words: "Yes, it's all Cao Zhijun's decision. We just do things according to orders. Your Highness, please spare your life."
