Chapter 148: Mingxiu Plank Road (1)
"Hmph!" With a cold snorkeling, Shi Chong's face was as deep as water. The other party deliberately joked and teased and clearly did not take himself seriously, which further showed that the fort was fearless. At this time, the thousand-five sharp soldiers in the rear could barely arrive. These sharp soldiers were elite troops. Although they could move all the way, there was no sign of disarray. The thieves on the fort seemed to be very aware of the goods. Seeing that the Wei people arrived again, the laughter gradually disappeared, and instead they were solemn.
"This is my talisman order. Who are you? Why don't you see Tang Zi!" Shi Chongfang stepped forward and raised his talisman order and shouted!
The man who teased the Wei soldiers laughed and said, "My name is Li Han. General Tang is resting and not seeing guests. Please come back."
Shi Chong sneered: "I am an envoy from the court. Is Tang Zi trying to disobey the sacred edict?" Although Shi Chong had little experience, he also understood that the current tension was still a little bit of room for buffering. If Tang Zi had already rebelled, the situation of being closed was completely unnecessary. Although the thieves on the city were hostile, if they were slandered by such rumors, it would be the same. If the other party opened the door of the fort, it means that the other party had no intention of rebelling. If it did not open the door, the rebellion would be confirmed. However, whether Tang Zi opened the door or not, he would have to be guilty for the sake of this merit and money!
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, so many people, General Tang cannot afford to enter the fort. If the guest is still invited to be single, General Tang must treat him with courtesy. If it is not a guest, then just let him do it." Li Han curled his lips and waved his hand to make someone shake a big basket and land it under the city, as if he was talking to Shi Chong, if you have the courage, please sit on it yourself.
Shi Chong was only over 20 years old, how could he withstand such humiliation? He couldn't help but say angrily: "I was ordered to come, but Tang Zi actually despised the king's law and refused to see him. Could it be that he would not rebel??" In fact, whether Tang Zi rebelled or not, this was already his own dish in Shi Chong's heart.
"If the general is doing business, please take out the relevant documents. If it is a private matter, please, please." Li Han looked casual and calm, with a calm voice, and said with a tone of chatter. Shi Chong, who was so angry that he was itchy, wishing he could slash this man with one sword!
At this time, more than ten cavalry turned back from both sides of the fort. It was the scout who sent Shi Chong to investigate the situation. Seeing the scout with joy, Shi Chong knew that the fort was definitely not indestructible and asked, "How are you investigating?"
The scout said excitedly: "General, this fort is just a false appearance. Although the frontal defense is good, there is a low wall behind it, about three meters long and only half a meter high. The people in hundreds of forts are building walls..."
"What?" Shi Chong was furious when he heard this. No wonder Li Han in the city was making trouble here slowly, and it turned out to be to delay time. After the Wei army turned to the fort, Li Han, who was inquiring about the Wei scout, obviously saw it in his eyes. Seeing this, he sighed helplessly, leaving a few troops to guard the front, and took most of his people to the rear of the fort.
A short wall three feet long and half a meter tall was right in front of me. Hundreds of people were busy building the walls. When they saw the Wei army coming, they were a little panicked, but they were still busy working diligently under the thieves in the fort. This fort should be an abandoned fort, and the front was still unaware of the countless newly added traces on both sides and behind, especially the short wall was obviously built in the past two days. Shi Chong only felt that his face turned red and a little embarrassed. If an experienced general came here, he would have to take a look around the fort for a few times before he would take action. He talked nonsense with the other party in front of the fort for a long time, and wasted some time. Although it was not damaged by the situation in front of the fort, he could not hold back his face. If the generals around him didn't say anything, he must have known what to do, and he might even laugh at him secretly.
"Ah! General Shi, I didn't expect to meet again here." Li Han bowed and bowed on the low wall with a smile on his face.
When Shi Chong saw this person, he did not hate others. He shouted: "Tang Zi gathered a group to rebel, and he should be punished for his crimes! However, most of the innocent people were forced by Tang Zi's power. The court had a heart of compassion. He would open the net and only catch the culprits. The rest of the culprits were not guilty!" After his words, the people who were busy behind the low wall were frightened and immediately put down their work. But when these people looked up and saw the thieves around who were shaking and scattered around, they picked up the bricks and tiles in their hands and continued to wipe the wall.
"Huh? What do you mean by General Shi? General Tang is ill in bed, but you say he rebelled, but there is evidence, but there is a government official document?" Li Han on the low wall looked at Shi Chong with a smirk, and his words were a bit serious.
This was said with emotion and reason. The 1,500 sharp soldiers who had followed Shi Chong for a long time naturally did not ask any questions, but the 700 cavalry were restless when they heard this. No matter what the rumors outside, Tang Zi was always a general of the country and had a title. It was difficult to convince the public without any evidence. Shi Chong was determined to defend himself, but he could not produce any evidence, not only evidence, but there was no document to arrest Tang Zi. The problem was not only that there was no two, but the 700 cavalry who followed here knew that Shi Chong had no two. Observing orders was obedient, but that it did not mean that everyone had no doubts.
"Since General Tang Zi is bedridden, I'm visiting him now, but where is this fortress from? Who is you?" Shi Chong narrowed his eyes slightly at Li Han on the low wall, and was constantly thinking about something in his heart. He intended to divide the thieves and take a battle against the heart. He didn't want the other party to say a few words to scatter his morale, which meant to shake his military morale. Such a person seems small, but in fact it is extremely difficult. Where did Tang Zi get such a person without any relatives? Li Han's knowledge, speech, impulse calculations, and his seemingly joking but calm demeanor are definitely not ordinary people, nor are they the object of Tang Zi's capital.
"Hmm? General Shi, what's wrong with you? I just asked again for my name in the fortress. I'm going to Li Han. If General Shi visits Old General Tang, please go to the main gate. I dare not put so many soldiers in hand with swords and weapons in my hands." Li Han was stunned, and then explained patiently.
Shi Chong's nose was almost angry and said angrily: "This fort is not owned by General Tang. What is your identity? He is actually here under the banner of General Tang. General Tang has not come out for a long time. Could it be that he was harmed by you?" Although he was angry, Shi Chong still knew in his heart that there must be something strange about Tang Zi's failure to show up. Grasping this may lead to some clues from the actions of these thieves.
"Li A Si, what is my identity? Did General Tang betray me?" Li Han ignored Shi Chong and turned to ask a person who was building a wall. Although the people were covered in mud, they were still wearing clothes. He still arched his body to work and replied in a slight manner: "Of course you are General Li, everyone can recognize that General Tang was ill in bed, and we have all visited him."
"All nonsense! How do the little people visit Mr. Tang?" Shi Chong, who heard it sincerely, laughed and laughed.
"Lin Blacksmith, what qualifications and identities do you people have to visit the imperial officials?" Li Han still ignored Shi Chong and asked to someone again.
Lin Blacksmith is old, but she is strong and does not inferior to the young and strong when she works. He laughed and said, "In order to protect us, the people, Old General Tang specially found this fort to provide food and accommodation. He treated us like a family. What's wrong with visiting relatives?" After that, Blacksmith Lin also lowered his head and went busy. Only then did Li Han turn slowly and shout to Shi Chong: "General Shi came from afar, we should have had enough of the friendship of the landlords, but unfortunately, Old General Tang is sick and brought so many soldiers. Even if the general is completely selfless, we and the common people have to guard against it. There are countless wealth and food in the fort, and God knows if anyone has any idea of us. So... be careful."
Shi Chong loves money, but only Xuchang knows it. After all, Shi Chong is just Shi Bao's youngest son. Even if his father sacrifices his life for the country, it is still difficult for Shi Chong to become famous all over the world at this age. What's more, without his father, Shi Chong cannot show off even if he is rich. But he has been inspecting Qingxu for a long time, and the bureaucrats from all over the country have already figured out the details of Shi Chong, and his reputation for wealth has also dispersed. The thousand-five elites did not care about it, but the doubts in the hearts of the seven hundred cavalrymen inevitably aggravated.
