Chapter 44
Zhang Chi was just startled, then furious, his eyes red, and immediately drove Bai Xue to rush towards Cang Huai.
After General Canghuai used a long spear to stab Du Ximing, he used the rebounding force to land and was unable to dodge, and was stepped on his chest hard by Bai Xue's front hooves. Even though General Canghuai was extremely brave, he could not resist Bai Xue's momentum and fell to the ground. Bai Xue was so agile, he was afraid that two of them would be broken when he stepped on General Canghuai's ribs.
Of course, Dao Xuan would not miss such a good opportunity. He took the knife and slashed over. General Canghuai had no time to get up, so he had to raise his spear to block Dao Xuan's fatal blow. However, before he could think of how to counterattack, he looked up and saw a man in a blue shirt flying down from the sky.
Of course, Zhang Chi did not fly down, but when he saw Du Ximing being saved by General Cang Huai, he was so angry that he couldn't suppress himself. Seeing that it was a good opportunity to kill Cang Huai, he didn't care much about it. He worked his hands together and held the hilt of the knife with his backhand, jumped down from the horse and rushed towards Cang Huai. This time it was extremely rapid, as if wings were growing on the ribs.
General Canghuai looked at the hero of the posthumously, but seeing Zhang Chi's desperate attack, it was like a giant beast flying down from the sky and rushing straight to him. When he wanted to resist, he felt like he was unable to do so.
The attack was extremely rapid and stabbed General Canghuai's heart with one knife. Then Zhang Chi fell heavily on Canghuai's body.
However, General Canghuai could no longer feel this, and this sword was enough to kill General Canghuai immediately. At the moment of death, General Canghuai had not had time to feel the pain, but the moment the blade pierced into his heart, he felt a bone-broken cold.
Seeing that General Canghuai was dead, Zhang Chi didn't care about the pain of falling all over his body and was about to part with him. He quickly got up and ran towards Du Ximing. He wanted to take a real look at whether Du Ximing died or not.
When he stepped forward, he saw that there was still blood on the corner of Du Ximing's mouth, but there was still a breath, but the breath was too weak. I'm afraid this is due to Du Ximing's body wearing armor, and General Canghuai suddenly exerted his force. Besides, in the air, this spear was like a strong crossbow, but it only broke the armor on his chest, but did not pierce too deep. However, being hit by the long spear in his chest was not easy. It was a blessing that he could save his life. There were probably a few ribs on his chest.
Seeing that Du Ximing was not dead, Zhang Chi cried with joy. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves, worried that if there were shocked horses and arrows in the chaos, it would be difficult to deal with Du Ximing. He shouted to the nearby soldiers: "Hurry, hurry up, come and protect General Du!"
At this time, Che Yin was standing on the city tower and suddenly saw a team of only thousands of like sharp knives, penetrated into the enemy camp from behind, and even killed General Canghuai with lightning speed. He was immediately overjoyed.
He originally thought that his old life would be explained here with Jiankang City this time, but he didn't expect that there would be a turning point. He didn't have time to tell who the person riding a white horse was, so he shouted at the top of the city: "This person is really the savior of the whole city of health."
Che Yin was right. If Zhang Chi hadn led his team into the formation and took the life of the enemy general, and delayed for a while, I would have probably captured the last barrier and occupied the Jiankang Palace City.
Without starting a battle in chaos, Zhang Chi really didn't have any chance to kill Cang Huai in the Ten Thousand Horse Army.
Not only Che Yin on the city tower, but the others were the same. Kuaiji King Sima Daozi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This army that serves the king is really a blessing for my Jinshi!"
Che Yin nodded and responded: "What the King of Kuaiji said is very true. The opponent's general is dead and the morale of the army will be in chaos. Why not take this opportunity to fight out and make a concerted effort to resolve the danger of Jiankang."
Sima Daozi nodded and agreed. Che Yin was old and although he was the general of the auxiliary country, he naturally didn't have to go on stage in person. He hurriedly ordered, opened the Grand Sima gate, and the entire army was dispatched.
Although the army commanded by General Canghuai was large in number, the general was dead at this time and had no intention of fighting. Moreover, the army in the city opened the city gate and rushed up from the front, Zhang Chi's troops were blocked from behind and were attacked from both sides. However, in a short time, the tens of thousands of troops were killed and fled.
The victory was decided, and Zhang Chi was worried about Du Ximing's injury and thought that there must be an imperial doctor in the palace city, so he asked everyone to lead the team to fight. He surrendered his cousin Ding Yizhi and Master Han who were not good at rushing on the battlefield and entered Jiankang Palace City together to meet the emperor.
However, he did not meet the emperor, but met Sima Daozi, the King of Kuaiji.
The current emperor is Sima Dezong, or Emperor An of Jin. However, Emperor An of Jin was stupid and cowardly. Since he ascended the throne, he was just a puppet, and his power was controlled by Sima Daozi, the King of Kuaiji.
At this time, Sima Daozi was sitting high above the court and had just defeated General Canghuai and was in a good mood. As soon as Zhang Chi asked to treat Du Ximing, he was of course immediately approved.
After a while, the imperial doctor went to the hall and said, "The injured person has no worries about his life, but he just needs time to rest." Zhang Chi then felt relieved.
At this time, Sima Daozi said, "Miss Wang did not recommend the wrong recommendation at the beginning. Mr. Zhang is indeed amazing. First, he defeated the iron army of the Northern Palace. This time he made great contributions. When all the five dou of Midao rebels were expelled from the city, I report to the emperor and sign you as the general to fight against the enemy. What do you think?"
Zhang Chi was concerned about Du Ximing's injury, and he didn't know what official position he was during the Jin Dynasty, so he didn't know what official position he was. He just said lightly: "Thank you for the promotion of King Kuaiji." Then he stopped talking.
From joining the army to directly being promoted to generals to seek rebellion, this is several levels higher than being promoted to the third level of officialdom. Sima Daozi, the King of Kuaiji, felt a little uneasy when he looked at Zhang Chi's favored expression.
The official was promoted several levels, but this person was not at all happy. This person was probably not an ordinary person. If Zhang Chi showed a sudden and surprised expression at this time, Sima Daozi would probably not have murderous intentions. But the more calm Zhang Chi looked, the more shocked Sima Daozi would be.: The official was still unsatisfied with the general who was seeking rebellion, and I am afraid that this person would have greater plans in his heart.
What Sima Daozi remembered at this time was of course the nursery rhyme that always kept him in his throat: "The secret of heaven appears, the world is reversed, the leader of the poor family, the white horse and the blue shirt."
It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. At this time, Sima Daozi had murderous intent on Zhang Chi. However, the city of Health is full of Taoist people with five dou of rice. There are no soldiers in Health City. If these people are completely expelled and killed, it is inevitable that Zhang Chi will rely on him.
Thinking of this, Sima Daozi smiled and said, "I have heard from the ancients that if you obey, you will not be happy; if you are rebellious, you will not be discouraged; if you are safe, you will not be extravagant; if you are dangerous, you will not be afraid; if you have thunder in your chest and look like a flat lake, you can be called the general! At first, I didn't believe that there are such people who are not surprised by favors and disgraces in this world. Today I only realized that it was true when I met the young master. As expected, I have the talent of the general. I will ask Your Majesty to worship the young master as a general to fight against the rebellion. Now I also ask the young master to expel the five dou of rice Taoist people in the city on their behalf."
…
…
After the discussion, Zhang Chi gave a gift and left the palace. In fact, Zhang Chi didn't care about any official position. As long as Du Ximing can be cured, it's fine. Du Ximing is seriously injured and should not be moved, so he would leave him in the palace to rest. First kill the remaining people in the Five Doves of Rice Road in the Sancheng City, and then return to the palace to pick up Du Ximing.
The three of them returned to the gate of the Grand Sima. At this time, the battle outside the palace city had ended. Santong's orthodox soldiers were outside the gate. When they saw everyone coming out, they stepped forward to ask about Du Ximing's injuries. Zhang Chi said, "Brother Du's injuries are not worried about his life, they just cannot move, so they stay in the palace to rest. Let's kill the five dou of rice in the city of Sancheng and take back the four-sided city gate."
Santong had no intention of doing anything. He was happy to hear that Du Ximing's life was not hindered. However, Ding Yizhi pondered: "General Du is seriously injured and has to rest in the palace. This is just a temporary solution. When General Du's injury improves slightly, his brother still needs to find a way to pick him up immediately."
Santong said strangely: "I just recovered from my injuries in the palace. Why are you so anxious to take him out of the palace?"
Zhang Chi was also puzzled, but Zhang Chi knew that this cousin would never speak for no reason. Since he was about to say it, there must be some more information. Sure enough, Ding Yizhi explained: "In today's court, the King of Kuaiji is very respectful to you, and there is an official to call you to be a general who rebels. This is not a good thing."
"Isn't it a great thing to be promoted? What's wrong with it?" Santong became even more strange.
"Sima Daozi is quite cunning and vicious in nature." Ding Yizhi explained: "The more polite he is to others, he must have used some conspiracy. Today, in the court, he is too respectful to his brother, which is definitely not a good thing. If I expected it, he wanted his brother to stabilize the situation in the healthy city first. When the imperial army has time to turn back to the capital, it is time for you to hide your birds and your dog to starve."
Ding Yizhi's words made Zhang Chi understand a lot of things. It seems that he is still not good at scheming. Although he knows the truth that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cooks, he knows the truth, but it is hard to see it clearly when he encounters it.
"Now, the Five Doks of Rice Road still controls the outer city. After regaining the outer city, you should try to pick up Du Ximing from the palace city, and then follow the retreat path designed for her. It is reasonable to go to Shuzhong according to the retreat route designed by Miss Wang for herself." Ding Yizhi said.
"Yes, the lady has made plans for the young master. As long as the young master enters Shu, he will definitely occupy a wealthy land in Shu." Master Han interrupted and mentioned Miss Wang again. Master Han couldn't help but cry: "Miss has made good efforts, and I hope the young master can live up to the deep meaning of Miss."
Zhang Chi nodded. Brother Du was seriously injured at this time and had to be treated immediately. However, before the healthy situation stabilizes, how can he be taken out again is still a big problem.
Zhang Chi sighed, and when Master Han mentioned Miss Wang, he felt sad and said, "Now that he has avenged Miss Wang, we should leave Xuanyang Gate first and take Miss Wang's body to bury before talking about anything else."
Everyone nodded, Zhang Chi greeted everyone and headed south towards Zhuque Gate.
