Chapter 390 Three Guess That Cottage!(1/2)
"Ma Liang, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, Tang Sai'er, Luo Guanzhong, you follow me to the back mountain of Wolonggang to visit famous scholars."
After Gao Huan withdrew from the army, Zhang Hua called out a few characters and wanted to go to the back mountain of Wolonggang to determine something.
"In the back mountain, there are just a group of mountain village men. How could there be famous scholars?"
The arrogant Wei Yan disagreed.
Zhang Hua just smiled. He needed Wei Yan to recognize people.
Zhang Hua brought hundreds of elite soldiers into the back mountain of Wolonggang.
It is not difficult for Lingying, who has an iron eagle scout, to find the mountain people hiding in the mountains and forests. However, Zhang Hua was busy dealing with Gao Huan before and had no time to patrol the wild people in the mountains.
In the village in the back mountain, hundreds of villagers were panicked when they saw a large number of soldiers with sharp sternness besieged the village.
They hid in the back mountain to avoid the chaos outside, but the soldiers outside still discovered them.
The soldiers outside are well-armed and have several powerful generals. The villagers' resistance will seem meaningless.
A young man wearing military general's armor was holding a white horse. Behind him was a fierce general with a tiger-backed and bear-back waist, with his forearms thicker than ordinary people's thighs. It was estimated that one person could beat a hundred.
There were two female generals guarding the left and right, one female general holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji and the other holding the pear blossom gun. Both of them looked very skilled in martial arts.
A team of tiger guards equipped with heavy armor, heavy swords and giant shields were lined up to prevent the young man in the middle from being assassinated.
"I am Gu Sande, the village chief here, and led many villagers to take refuge in the mountains... I wonder what the hell is there to do, all of you come from afar?"
Zhan Zhan’s stunning old village chief came out with a cane.
Zhang Hua glanced at the villagers who fled into the back mountain. The population was about 100 households, and the back mountain was almost all thatched huts, but they were just temporary houses.
Finally, Zhang Hua's eyes fell on the village chief Gu Sande.
This person's eyes were muddy and wrinkles were everywhere on his face, so he could not tell what was special.
Wei Yan and Ma Liang's expressions did not change at all.
The hidden master in Wolonggang should not be this village chief.
Zhang Hua took out a letter and raised it in the air: "Who is this letter that shot into my camp?"
The villagers looked at each other, and finally a hunter left: "I did this!"
Zhang Hua's eyes turned to this hunter again.
This hunter is ordinary and looks like a civilian with force of 40 to 50.
Zhang Hua turned to Ma Liang, and Wei Yan said, "Do you recognize him?"
Ma Liang and Wei Yan shook his head.
It seems that this letter was not from the hands of this hunter, he was just a messenger.
"Who told you to shoot into my camp? You can tell him your origin with confidence and boldness, and I will not make things difficult for him."
"This is Mr. Zhuge, and he asked the villain to shoot this letter into the camp. Mr. Zhuge said it was for your own good."
The hunter is also an honest person. He knows that the other party has many people and is powerful, and if he doesn't say it, the whole village will not be able to escape.
"Zhuge?!"
Wei Yan's body shook and thought of someone.
Wei Yan only impressed two people throughout his life, one was to promote his boss Liu Bei with extraordinary rules, and the other was his later superior Zhuge Liang.
It was Wolonggang and Mr. Zhuge again, which made it difficult for Wei Yan not to associate human names with place names.
Ma Liang from the Jingzhou family was also shocked.
Ma Liang really knows Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was originally a prominent family in Langya Kingdom. His ancestor Zhuge Feng was a Sili lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty. His father Zhuge Gui served as the governor of Taishan County at the end of the Han Dynasty. His uncle Zhuge Xuan became the prefect of Yuzhang.
Later, Zhuge Gui died of illness and Zhuge Xuan died in battle. Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Jingzhou. Although his family was in a downturn, he was definitely not a villager who farmed.
The aristocratic families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties formed clans and the Jingzhou family also gave face to the Zhuge family, the prominent family in Langya, and interacted with them. Therefore, Ma Liang knew Zhuge Liang, who was a few years older than him.
"Is it possible..."
Luo Guanzhong was even more surprised. He didn't expect that there was really a Mr. Zhuge in Wolonggang.
Wang Shouren was not very shocked, he had already guessed one or two in advance.
Zhang Hua asked again: "What is the real name of Mr. Zhuge you mentioned? What is its origin?"
The village chief took over the topic: "Mr. Zhuge's real name is Zhuge Ming, and he is a descendant of Zhuge. He knows the Qimen Dunjia, and the hexagram is extremely accurate. We escaped into the mountains and forests and avoided the war, all depends on Mr. Zhuge's predictions before we know."
Zhuge Ming? A descendant of Zhuge?
Zhang Hua fell into doubt.
Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jun do have descendants. Could it be that Zhuge Ming, who appeared in Wolonggang, is the descendant of one of them?
Wei Yan and Ma Liang were also confused.
"Take me to see this Zhuge Ming."
Zhang Hua specially brought Wei Yan and Ma Liang to recognize people. He heard it as false and saw it as true. He had to see himself before he could determine whether the other party was really a descendant of Zhuge.
"This is Mr. Zhuge's residence. The teacher is out for a trip, and he is unknown where he will go and when he will come back."
The village chief led Zhang Hua to the front of a thatched cottage, saying that Zhuge Ming was missing.
“…”
Zhang Hua saw the snow and footprints in front of the thatched cottage leading to the thatched cottage. Zhuge Ming, as the villagers mentioned, was clearly in the thatched cottage and did not want to see Zhang Hua and others.
The villagers also looked a little nervous.
With Zhang Hua's ability to make trouble in recent years, it is impossible to see these details.
Wang Shouren and Luo Guanzhong were even more proficient in details. They also noticed the footprints outside the thatched cottage and knew that there were people inside the thatched cottage.
However, only the silly Xu Chu pointed out this carelessly and said loudly: "Lord, there is clearly someone in the house! This Mr. Zhuge is so arrogant! The lord condescends to visit famous scholars, but he avoids him! Seeing me setting a fire, he can't see that he can't show it!"
"Xu Chu, don't be rude! The sir is clearly out for a trip!"
Zhang Hua scolded Xu Chu.
"But the lord..."
Xu Chu was greatly wronged. He was telling the truth. Why did the lord and the others clearly know that the villagers were telling lies but did not expose it?
"Since I'm traveling around, I'll still plan to siege Wancheng and save all the people from water and fire. Let's say goodbye for the time being. In three days, I will come and visit again."
"Due to the war, Wolonggang was accidentally burned down and when Wancheng was captured, I will send someone to rebuild Wolonggang and build it into a town."
Zhang Hua spoke to the villagers, but in fact he was also passing messages to the people in the house.
"let's go."
Zhang Hua took everyone away and dealt with him patiently.
After Zhang Hua returned, he dispatched troops to attack Gao Huan's territory, occupied more territory, and at the same time deployed a large army to form a pincer attack on Gao Huan, the Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi.
Because the Lanling King Gao Changgong was captured alive, the Baibao Xianbei army was wiped out, the morale of the Northern Qi army was frustrated, and the troops were reduced.
Some towns saw that the situation was not good, so they directly offered the city to surrender.
Zhang Hua was near Wolonggang, commanding the troops in front of him from afar.
Before meeting the hidden master in Wolonggang, Zhang Hua will not leave here for the time being.
Zhang Hua also summoned the captured Lanling King Gao Changgong and tried to recruit the famous general.
Gao Changgong's father was Han and his maternal line was Xianbei. He had a male and female appearance and could not shock the enemy, so he often wore a hideous mask to intimidate the enemy.
Gao Changgong can control the Xianbei cavalry and will be of great help when dealing with and using the Xianbei people outside the pass in the future.
One of Zhang Hua's powerful enemies, the Tuoba tribe in Yunzhong, is the power established by the Tuoba Xianbei, one of the three major Xianbeis.
"I, Gao Changgong, will not surrender to the enemy, so I can't surrender."
Gao Chang is arrogant and would rather die than surrender.
"If you don't serve me, would you watch me execute Gao Cheng?"
There is a hostage in Zhang Hua who threatens Gao Changgong.
"I heard that saints do not threaten with their families."
"Where can a saint come from a war without righteousness in the spring and autumn? I don't want to be a saint, I just want to quickly pacify the world, even if I do anything to do it."
“…”
Gao Changgong remained silent.
The princes who fought for the Central Plains were all intrigues and deceiving each other. If they did not massacre the city, they would be considered a benevolent monarch. How could they care about using their families to threaten them?
"When I defeat Gao Huan, if you serve me, I can forgive Gao Cheng for his life. You can go on and think about it carefully."
Zhang Hua was not in a hurry. Even if Gao Changgong was willing to defect to him at this time, he might not trust Gao Changgong.
Only by completely defeating Gao Huan and cutting off Gao Changgong's thoughts will he work hard.
