Chapter 8 counted

The wolf's tooth arrow was only half a foot away from Wang Chong's waist with all his strength, but it stopped. Because the hand holding the arrow rod has been tightly held at this time and can't move. It was a very dull soldier who rescued Wang Chong from danger in time, but at this time his eyes were full of murder.

Wang Chong also turned around and looked at the murderer who dared to take this black hand behind him: "It's you!" This man was Deng Fei, the guard officer who commanded the defense of the city on the side of the West City. At this time, his face was full of surprise and surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Chong did not attack immediately, but just winced at a few cronies beside him. These soldiers who were good at controlling the situation surrounded Deng Fei and then took him to the city. He was waiting to call for help, but a dagger had appeared on his waist. At the same time, a dull voice sounded in his ear: "If you want to live, just say nothing!"

Deng Fei immediately dared not make any futile struggles and was successfully taken down the city by these soldiers. Because all this happened too quickly, and the rest of the city put their efforts on the Hu people who were still attacking the city, so until the people were taken away, others did not find such a big thing here.

Wang Chong did not say much. He still calmly led the people to guard the head of the city. It was not until the Hu people returned to their camp again that he comforted the defenders and went down to the city head. No one found that at that moment, an extremely important change had taken place in the city.

In the command room under the wall, Wang Chong stared at Deng Fei with a deep face: "To be honest, why are you unfavorable to me?"

"The general is wronged. Even if the general is bold, he dares not treat you..." Deng Fei quickly denied it, but under Wang Chong's forced view, the following words could not be said.

"Well, I dare to argue when we caught it on the spot. I really don't know whether you are good or stupid. Do you think you don't know anything about your tricks? If I could be fooled away so easily, I would have been fooled by you just now. So I advise you to be more knowledgeable and be honest." Wang Chong stared at Deng Fei and said.

"I..." Deng Fei's momentum has been completely suppressed by Wang Chong, and he saw Wang Chong's relatives next to him staring at him with murderous eyes, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth, he would be killed. As Wang Chong, killing him as a garrison officer is nothing at all, and even those people behind him dare not say anything. So soon, he loosened a little: "If I tell the truth, can the marshal save my life?"

"It depends on whether what you said is worthwhile." Wang Chong showed a smile on his face, as long as someone opened this mouth, so that the chaotic situation could break a way.

"Yes... it was General Du who asked me to do this..." After a moment of hesitation, Deng Fei said a name that was not surprising to Wang Chong.

"What's the reason? Why did he want you to do this to me?" Wang Chong asked again.

"I didn't ask about this. General Du passed the military order, so that I must kill the general when the Hu people attacked the city today. The villain was also helpless for a while..." Deng Fei justified himself again.

After listening to his words, Wang Chong felt more tense. Once this matter is really related to Du Qianjun, or even he is the mastermind, he will not be safe in this city. Although he believes that most of the soldiers of the Song army are still loyal to the country, it is difficult to guarantee that they don't believe their words because they have been following Du Qianjun for a long time, so it is very simple for the other party to get rid of him.

At this time, Wang Liehai took two people to escort the people who had just been captured. After confirming that his grandfather was sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and reported his situation in the North City: "General, it was this boy who wanted to secretly send the news to Hu Ying during the attack and defense of the West City, but I took it."

"Oh?" Wang Chong looked at the person who was already depressed and full of fear: "Who are you and who ordered you to go out of the city?"

"I... My name is Shanjia, who was sent by General Du to send letters to the barbarians outside the city." The man also said his mastermind after a slight hesitation.

Wang Chong sighed, and now he can be sure that the behind-the-scenes behind this matter is Du Qianjun, who now holds military power in the city. The only thing he can't figure out is why Du Qianjun did this. What's the benefit to him?

But this is not the time to consider these. It is imperative to quickly remove this hidden trouble, so as to ensure the safety of Youzhou City. So he immediately raised his head and said, "Let's go back to the city!"

Because Wang Chong had previously decided to use troops against the Hu people outside the city tonight, the soldiers and horses in the whole city of Youzhou began to be frequently mobilized before dusk. At the same time, the generals who had been scattered everywhere also came to the governor's office and waited for the general's final instructions.

Seeing Wang Chong turning from the West City, all the generals also followed. Unexpectedly, as soon as the other party entered the lobby, he gave an order that made everyone a little overwhelmed: "Come on, take down Du Qianjun!"

Everyone was stunned, and Du Qianjun looked at Wang Chong with some astonishment. When he didn't know what to react, several soldiers standing under the hall immediately rushed over, grabbed Du Qianjun's arms with the fastest action and untied his sword. It was not until this time that Du Qianjun woke up and shouted as he struggled, "Marshal, what are you doing?"

What do you do? Do you still want to pretend at this time?" Wang Chong sneered: "You sent someone to send letters to the Hu people to beware of our night attack, and you still want to assassinate me in the city just now. Neither of these two is enough to kill you. Do you still want to quibble?

"What?" All the generals were in an uproar when they heard this: "General, there must be any misunderstanding in this! General Du is not such a person. He has a big grudge against the barren, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing!"

Many generals are defending Du Qianjun, but Wang Chong did not respond to this, but said, "All this was found out by me personally. Can these be fake? Are you also Du Qianjun's accomplices when you help him talk like this? Do you also have any connection with the barbicans outside the city? With that, he took out the letter and let everyone read it. At this time, everyone dared not speak. They could not bear such a big charge.

"This matter will be reported to the court. Du Qianjun is guilty and innocent. But you must understand your identity, and always take the safety of my Song Dynasty as yours!" Wang Chong finally said this and wanted to get up.

"Marshal, the sneak attack on the barbarian tonight..." At this time, Geng He, who had always seemed to be outside the matter, suddenly asked.

"Now that such a big thing has happened in the city, I really can't send troops, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Just wait." Wang Chong left this and left for himself. Only one civil and military official was left there and didn't know what to do.

When night fell, the wind was strong on the head of the city, but the soldiers guarding there did not dare to be careless. Although Hu people are not good at fighting at night, no one can guarantee that they will not abandon their strengths and suddenly attack at night.

Just when the soldiers were a little tired, a figure came up the stairs beside the city. Because there were only a few torches on the top of the city, it was very hazy, which made the vigilant soldiers shout and ask, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" A majestic voice sounded, and then a middle-aged man in a brocade robe came over. The soldiers relaxed: "It's Lord Zhou. What are you doing in the city so late?"

"I am the governor of Youzhou Prefecture, and I always want to reward you. You are the meritorious officials that I can persist in Youzhou until now." As soon as he said this, several servants dressed up picked up a few loads of wine and meat: "On this cold night, you should also use some wine and meat to nourish your spirits."

"Thank you, Lord Zhou!" Those soldiers were indeed hungry and cold. Now there is meat to eat and wine to drink. Naturally, they will not be polite. They immediately came up and took the wine and meat off the burden, and then everyone ate it.

"How's it going? Is there anything outside tonight?" Zhou Qun asked, as if he wanted to see something, he leaned out of the city.

Those soldiers have already paid attention to wine and meat, but replied casually, "Lord Zhou, don't worry, the Hu people have never attacked the city at night for so many days, and today is naturally ordinary!" They didn't pay attention to what Zhou Qun was doing there. In fact, under the cover of darkness, he had already pulled a small bow, and then shot three arrows wrapped in sheep's skin at the Hu people's camp under the city.

After doing all this, Zhou Qun quickly hid the little bow in his wide sleeves, turned his head to look at the soldiers, and then said, "Although that's the case, you still have to be more guarded."

"Adult, don't worry, we will not give any chance to the barbarians!" The soldiers quickly agreed. After a few more conversations, Zhou Qun took people down the city.

"Hey, it's really weird. Lord Zhou has never been so kind to us before, but what's wrong with us today? It was not until he went far away that the soldiers said strangely.

"What does it matter? As long as there is this good wine and good food every day, it's worth watching it like this all night." Others are not in the mood to care about this, still eating meat and drinking in a big bowl. What they don't know is that in the silent Hu camp at this time, it is very different.

More than 20,000 Hu people ambushed around their camp. Although the north wind made people tremble, none of them moved at will. Because they don't know when the enemy will kill, they must always be prepared to kill them unprepared after the appearance of the Song army.

Song people dared to attack their own camp at night. After learning the news, Hu people have made up their minds to teach Song people a good lesson. Even if you can't completely defeat the defenders in the city and seize Youzhou in one fell swoop, at least you can make a lot of credit.

For the barbicans outside the city, they were still worried that they could not make any contributions this time, so they did not have an advantage in the distribution of income after the war. But the situation is obviously different now. Song people threw themselves into the trap and wanted to go out of the city to fight with themselves. Is there anything more exciting than such news?

If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is that it has been almost two changes, and there is still no movement in the city, which is really difficult. After all, it's winter now. Everyone has to lie in the wild and can't rest in the tent. Even if most of the barbarians are rough-skinned and thick, they can't stand it.

"Lead, why hasn't this Song man come out yet? Don't come today, will you? Next to Xiao Qianling, several barren soldiers asked impatiently. They have been waiting in this cold wind for nearly an hour, but they haven't seen any movement in the city. Naturally, they can't help it.

"Don't worry. Since it's news from people in the city, it must be helpful to us. Let's wait and see." Although Xiao Qianling was also a little anxious, he still said calmly. As the supreme commander of 20,000 horses here, he must take full responsibility for this action, and naturally dare not slack off at all.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over: "Leader, this letter was shot from the city."

"Hm?" Xiao Qianling was stunned, took the letter, and then read it with the faint light of stars and moon. Half a day later, he finished reading the text message that could not be sealed with hundreds of words, and then his face turned a little blue: "How can it be! Tell everyone not to stay in bed. Let's go back to the camp.

"Lead, what's going on?" Everyone asked puzzledly.

"Song people have cancelled tonight's attack, and we waited for nothing this night." Xiao Qianling said with hatred.

After the order, the resentment of the barren soldiers became even greater. They suffered so much and were cold, but it was really unacceptable to get such a result. But that's the truth. How reluctant they were, they could not change it. These barbarian soldiers had to go back to their respective camps to rest with anger and scold.

After a little noise, the Huren camp fell into silence again, but this time the silence was even worse than before.

In Youzhou City, at this time, a group of generals came to the governor's mansion again inexplicably. They were all woken up from their dreams, but they didn't know where Wang Chong was making trouble. In everyone's comments, Wang Chong, dressed in a uniform, strode out. After his tiger's eyes swept over the generals, he said, "Everyone must be very strange what Benshuai asked you to do here now? Now I will tell you a fact that we will immediately attack the barren outside the city!"

"..." Everyone was stunned. Obviously, they had already said that they would give up this decision. How could they change their mind in a few hours?

"The general, the last general dare not obey. The most taboo thing in the army is to change the order day and night. Today, we have changed the military order once, and now we have to change it again. I'm afraid that the war will be unfavorable. Cheng Rui, the deputy general who had replaced Du Qianjun, immediately objected.

After him, many people raised objections, including civil officials such as Geng He and Zhou Qun. In the face of everyone's opposition, Wang Chong laughed: "Why do you think I planned to give up the night attack before? Just because we have internal traitors, we have revealed this operation..."

"Marshal, hasn't Du Qianjun's collusion with Hu people been found out? Also, wasn't the person who sent the news out of the city also taken down? Why is there such a concern? Some people don't think so.

"Because Du Qianjun is not a real traitor, and there is someone else who spread the news!" This time, the answer was Xu Jinghong dressed as an ordinary soldier, and then he looked at Zhou Qun: "Lord Zhou, are you right?"

Zhou Qun was shocked when he heard this, but soon calmed down: "What are you talking about? Why can I not understand?"

"What did you do when you went up the wall just now? Don't think we don't know!" Xu Jinghong stared at him with a sneer: "I think the Hu people have relaxed their vigilance and gone back to the camp to sleep. This is thanks to Lord Zhou's message."

"You...unfounded, you are a little soldier who dares to slander me so much!" Zhou Qun said angrily, but he covered his guiltyness with anger: "Marshal, don't listen to this man's lies, subordinate..."

"My words are true or false, as long as you check the adult's body, you will know. If you come down from the city, I'm afraid you will be called here if you don't have a chance to go back. So you still carry the tool that just passed the news out of the city. Lord Zhou, do you dare to let us search it? Xu Jinghong interrupted the other party's debate, and then walked to him.

"You...how are you doing? I am the official ordered by the court. Did you search for it if you said it would be?" Zhou Qun quickly stepped back two steps and looked at his boss Geng He, hoping that he could speak for him.

Geng He said casually, "Marshal, Zhou Qun has been an official in Youzhou for many years, but he has never made a mistake. There is really no suspicion. On the contrary, this little soldier dares to speak like this. He must be Du Qianjun's com-in-party. He came to mess up the hearts of our city!"

Wang Chong laughed and said, "Come on, take them both down!" The soldiers who had been waiting on both sides immediately rushed over and took down the two civil servants in a few strokes. Wang Chong pointed to Cheng Rui again and said, "And him."

"Marshal, what are you doing..." The three were tied up and shouted while struggling, while others were shocked by the sudden scene and could not recover for a moment.

"You are the real people who communicate with the enemy. General Du was just framed. Can't you really see it as a handsome man?" Wang Chong sneered and said, "Take them down to watch and control them. The others will order all the soldiers and horses and go out of the city with me to kill the enemy!" But those who have been ignored will be regarded as their peers!" With that, he has strode out of the hall, leaving only the generals in a trance. Look at me, I look at you...
