Chapter five hundred and fiftieth eighth
Wang Gui's acting skills seem to be born. When he met Feng Yu in Anxi, they just met him, so they walked around the brothel. They were both the same type of people, and they had all kinds of problems with men, and their acting skills were extraordinary.
Wang Gui has no other specialties, he is just a little smart person.
But he has a strong and firm heart, and he knows what he wants and is willing to do. The open-mindedness of a small person is something that many powerful and powerful people with high powers cannot compare with in their lives.
Today's scene was perfect. Under the arrangement of Gu Qing and Wang Gui, a scene of Tongguan falling and defeated troops being chased by Anxi Army was created. The picture was very realistic. The Anxi Army was just right to chase from behind. None of the defenders on the Luoyang City Tower had doubts, because there was no doubt at all, everything was happening in front of you.
The sound of horse hooves behind him was getting closer and closer, and Wang Gui's expression became more and more anxious. His red eyes emitted a light of despair. He pointed to the young general at the city gate and shouted angrily: "You mistress, think it through. If you don't open the city gate, I will surrender to the Tang army. Let's see if your Shangguan will chop your head!"
The young general on the city tower was also anxious. He had no experience in dealing with such things. Although the group of people under the city could not prove their identity, it was a strange and weird smell, but it was a fact that Anxi Army came to chase him from behind. If he really watched the robes under the city be killed by Anxi Army, he would probably be blamed.
"You, wait, I'll go and ask Shangguan first..." the young player stuttered.
Wang Gui said furiously: "I'm just asking! If you ask again, collect the body for us. They have already killed us!"
The young general was panicked and hesitated for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"
The suspension bridge was creaking and the city gate opened, and Wang Gui led more than 2,000 remaining soldiers into the city quickly.
Entering the city gate corridor, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Wang Gui's mouth.
Shen Tian, who was dressed as a personal guard next to him, patted him and whispered: "Don't be too early, someone will question our origin later."
Wang Gui smiled and said, "It's okay, the prince gave the villain a list, all of whom were the generals of the Tongguan defenders. The villain had long been memorized and could not do anything."
Shen Tian said again: "Drag for about an hour, and when General Chang and General Qu's 20,000 troops arrive, we will start to seize the city gate."
"yes."
Shen Tian suddenly laughed: "If this battle is won, the master will be rewarded. It's enough for you to marry an eight-bedroom concubine, so wait and enjoy your happiness."
Wang Gui grinned and said, "That's not called enjoying happiness, that's called death. The villain's body can't stand it."
He squeezed at Shen Tian with a rippling face, and Wang Gui smiled and said, "General Shen should know that whether it is a wife or a concubine at home, there is less charm than the women outside. Men, the happiest thing is to eat wild food. It is better to steal fishy food than home-cooked food."
Shen Tian understood it and showed a sensible smile.
Walking out of the city gate corridor, thousands of rebels blocked them at the entrance of the corridor, holding their halberds nervously, Wang Gui straightened his chest and said fiercely: "What do you mean? Do you want to take us? Or are you afraid that we are the Tang army's fine works, and we should join forces inside and outside to grab your city gate?"
A side general rode his horse and walked to Wang Gui. He looked him up and down, and said, "Who are you? I once obeyed the orders under the command of An Jieshuai. I have never heard of a side general named Wang Gui. I know most of the brothers from Zhongying, and I have never heard of you."
Wang Gui sneered: "How long ago did you serve under the command of An Jieshuai? Since my righteous army entered Guanzhong, I was beaten by Gu Qing's Anxi Army and suffered heavy losses. General Shi transferred a lot of troops from Pinglu to Guanzhong. Do you know this?"
He hesitated and nodded.
Wang Gui snorted coldly: "I was transferred from Pinglu in early spring this year. I was originally the Yingcheng Captain under General Shi. Later, I was ordered to be transferred to the commander of An Jie to guard Tongguan. If you want to check my details, just send someone to Chang'an to ask clearly. I don't have time to chat with you. I will immediately have someone to get some hot food and water for my brothers. In addition, we have to replenish weapons. Tongguan is lost and many people's weapons are lost."
Seeing Wang Gui's righteous appearance, the prejudiced general couldn't help but believe it a little. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is Tongguan really lost?"
Wang Gui showed a bitter look and sighed: "The Anxi Army mobilized 50,000 troops and horses to Tongguan. After several strong attacks, my Tongguan defender finally failed to defend. An Jie was protected by his personal guards and fled to Chang'an. We were in a panic in chaos and had to escape to Luoyang. The Anxi Army kept chasing us. The original more than 5,000 troops were only more than 2,000 left."
The general changed his color and said, "If Tongguan is lost, isn't the next step for Anxi Army..."
Wang Gui sighed: "The next step is naturally Chang'an, maybe Luoyang. Gu Qing's use of war is hard to predict. Who knows which one he will fight first? We will fight with others again."
Everyone was silent. Most of the people present were ordinary soldiers, and most of them had no special love or hatred for the court or the rebels. After the generals issued an order, they followed suit and rebel.
Wang Gui showed impatience and said, "Don't say that, hurry up and get some hot food for the brothers. After running all the way, the brothers are starved."
The general hesitated for a moment and said, "I will send someone to deliver hot food, but I still need to report to General Niu to verify your identities."
Wang Gui nodded indifferently and urged his soldiers to get off their horses and rest on the spot.
Before leaving, Wang Gui knew that the garrison who stayed in Luoyang was named Niu Tingjie, who was an important general under An Lushan and was quite close to Shi Siming and An Qingxu. Otherwise, he would not have given him the responsibility of garrisoning the eastern capital Luoyang.
Seeing that Wang Gui and his more than 2,000 soldiers were sitting down to rest, the thousands of rebels surrounding them also relaxed their vigilance. Wang Gui's play was too realistic. Although his identity had not been confirmed at this moment, most of the rebel soldiers believed that they were really the robes that escaped from Tongguan, so they were not too alert.
Outside the city, there were still pursuing soldiers of the Anxi Army cruising unwillingly. All the gates of Luoyang have been sealed. Wang Gui sat in front of the city gate corridor, lazily looking like a typical soldier.
Shen Tian next to him laughed and lowered his voice, "No wonder Mr. Duke valued you so much. You kid really act like anything. I almost believed that you were from the rebels..."
A nervous look flashed in Wang Gui's eyes and he said with a stern face: "Don't say nonsense, what kind of rebels, we are now called 'Yi Shi'."
Shen Tian glanced at him and said, "I dare not believe what you said in the future. You kid is so amazing to deceive people. You can open your mouth and say something. Seven-point lies are mixed with three-point truth, which makes it difficult for people not to believe it."
Wang Gui sighed, "Believe it or not, I used to be an honest man. The errands ordered me to learn to talk nonsense. I have never deceived anyone if I say anything in the camp."
Chen Tian sneered: "If I believe you, I will lose all my money when I go back to the camp, so save money."
As he was talking, the side general who had left just now came back and came to Wang Gui to look at him, saying, "General Niu said he would summon you personally and ask about the loss of Tongguan. Please follow me."
Wang Gui yawned, stood up lazily, and said, "I should thank General Niu for his life-saving grace..."
The general took the lead in walking in front. After walking a few steps, the general asked casually: "By the way, you are the general of the Zhongzi Camp. I have a fellow villager named Liu Bao and entered Zhongzi Camp three years ago. Is he okay?"
Wang Gui blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly laughed: "You still don't believe me at this time. There is no one named Liu Zongying at all. Don't swear by me."
The general suddenly stood still, turned around and stared at him, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he slowly said word by word: "There is really a person named Liu Bao in Zhongzi. He is the brigade commander of Zhongzi. If you don't even know him, how dare you say that you are from Zhongzi? "
Without any warning, the general suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Wang Gui, and said sternly: "General Niu has seen something wrong with you! Tell me, who are you? Come and surround me!"
…………
The camp allocated 10,000 troops and horses, led by Chang Zhong to the direction of Luoyang, plus the 10,000 Hexi troops in Quhuan. If they could cooperate inside and outside, 20,000 troops would be enough to capture Luoyang.
The main force of the Anxi Army was still stationed outside Shangzhou City, waiting for news from Luoyang.
Gu Qing stayed in the coach's tent all day, staring at the sand table with a serious expression, carefully pondering his strategies and tactics over and over again, and reflecting on whether there are huge loopholes in self-reflection.
Han Jie's voice came from outside the handsome tent, and his voice was hesitant.
"Mr., someone from Shu is coming..."
Gu Qing was stunned and said, "Who is here?"
"It is said that it was sent by the prince's wife, who held the wife's handwritten letter..."
Gu Qing immediately smiled and said, "Has Zhang Huaiyu sent a letter? Who did she send to the camp?"
"Uh, there are more than a hundred people, each with ferocious faces, and they don't look like good people..."
Gu Qing laughed and scolded: "You are not a good person. No one in our entire camp is good person. Call in."
After an incense stick of hour, more than a hundred people stood in front of Gu Qing. Each of them had different appearances, but their expressions seemed to be printed from a mold. They were all expressionless and indifferent. There was no grass growing in their eyes, and they didn't know what kind of inhuman training they had ever received.
Gu Qing stood in front of them with a strange expression, holding Zhang Huaiyu's handwritten letter in his hand. He had read the contents of the letter over and over again, but he was still a little shocked and could not accept it for the moment.
"You... were you sent by Zhang Huaiyu to be my personal guard?" Gu Qing asked hesitantly.
One of the more than 100 people stood up and bowed and said, "Report to the master, we are not personal guards. Miss Zhang said that we are the master's deceased soldiers, and those who were born to die for the master."
Gu Qing bounced the letter in his hand and said, "That is to say, I don't need any reason. Even if you are asked to use a knife to wipe your neck on the spot, you will not hesitate to do it?"
