Chapter 96: Encountering Shao Bo
He died before he could succeed, which made the hero cry.
Zhang Shenjian just wanted to vent his anger for Ni Lu, but he would not have thought that this sudden change would happen.
Facing Yang Zaixing's shot, he could not avoid it no matter what. He could only watch the spear, about to pierce his chest. At the critical moment of life and death, he felt unwilling and exclaimed sadly.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the mansion: "Stay people under the gun."
The cry came just right, and Yang Zaixing suddenly heard this, his wrist was wrong, and the spear changed direction instantly; at the same time, his body turned around, snatched away, and returned to the door of the mansion in an instant, then turned his head to look at the person coming.
"Plop"
A sound of falling behind him was just heard. It was no need to look at it. It was Zhang Shenjian who had escaped the disaster, and the sound of falling.
Three people walked quickly in the mansion, one of them was the first, wearing a moon-white robe, with a blue head and a very elegant hair, which was Yan Keqiu.
Yan Keqiu's man on the left was seven feet long, with a coarse linen coat, and a ghost face. He was very majestic. He was carrying a long knife on his waist and holding a spear in his hand. He just stood there like a long standing mountain, unshakable.
The person on the right was the one who had just spoken and shouted. He was as strong as a cow, holding a knife in his hand. It was Chen Gong, but his expression seemed a little worried and was looking at Zhang Shenjian with concern.
Zhang Shenjian, who was sitting on the ground, looked up and saw the concerned face at a glance. He immediately exclaimed: "Brother Chen, why is it you? Is this your mansion?"
Seeing that he was fine, Chen Gong smiled slightly, bowed to Yan Keqiu, and said frankly: "Haha, Brother Zhang was joking. This mansion is the new home of my master. Chen is just a guardian."
Following the direction of Chen Gong's bow, Zhang Shenjian looked at Yan Keqiu, but a ripples appeared in his heart. Who dared to be so bold and hire Chen Gong as a guard.
Although Chen Gong was in a down-and-out position, he was still a general in the army. This scholar dared to accept him as his servant, which really made him brave.
However, with Yang Zaixing's lesson just now, he did not dare to be reckless. With the support of two fang soldiers, Zhang Shenjian stood up, walked to Yan Keqiu, and bowed: "I'm down, Zhang Shenjian, who is the general of Gaoyou Town, is a wise general, and he takes the liberty to ask for advice and honor his surname and name."
Yan Keqiu's ability to know the small things is not comparable to that of an ordinary person. He could infer Zhu Li's identity from Zhu Li's name and the fragmentary information he knew. How could he not see the resentment in Zhang Shenjian's heart now?
But he didn't care. He was also a person with status. If he hadn't been good at managing and eventually left on the street, he would have been a very decent person. Even if he was poor and behind, no one would believe him even if he told him about his identity.
Now it seems that this identity can be used. He looked at Zhang Shenjian horizontally and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The general's name is deafening, and Yan has long admired him."
"I dare not bother the general to ask for advice. I am Yan Keqiu. My father Yan Shi was once the judge of the Jianghuai water and land transportation, but I am not talented. Now I can only hide my father's sacrificingness and make the general laugh." Yan Keqiu introduced himself calmly.
Gaoyou is an important town in Huainan. Those who can serve as a town general here are at least a town general, which is equivalent to an official rank of seventh rank. They can be transferred to the position of judge, or they can be big or small.
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the court's finances have mostly depended on the Jianghuai River. Therefore, the Jianghuai salt and iron transport envoys are generally controlled by important officials in the court, and the prime minister usually serves as the part-time position.
Although the judge of Transportation is the assistant of the salt and iron transport envoy, it is said that if Yan Shi is still there, even Zhang Shenjian would not dare to ignore him, then as the son of Yan Shi, he is naturally qualified to talk to Zhang Shenjian.
When Zhang Shenjian heard that the other party had such a background, he did not dare to ignore it. If it was a man who bought it by a merchant, he would burn it as soon as he said it would. However, the mansion was bought by the man in front of him, and he would not be able to burn it no matter what.
However, what surprised him was that Chen Gong was actually the other party's servant. He seemed to respect this person very much, and also made Zhang Shenjian sure that Yan Keqiu and his party were definitely not Lu Yongzhi's accomplice.
With a sense of relief, he seemed to have to retreat helplessly, but he left in such a dusty manner, obviously feeling embarrassed, and he was considering finding a step.
"My younger brother once said that if Brother Zhang practices his actions against Lu Yongzhi, he will definitely help him. Now that Brother Zhang's army has completed its oath, he is about to start. I am not talented and I am willing to go to Jiangdu with Brother Zhang. I wonder what Brother Zhang wants?"
Fortunately, the sky paid off. Chen Gong's sudden voice gave Zhang Shenjian a chance to go down. He quickly said in surprise: "I wish you, I dare not ask you, Brother Chen, are kind."
Seeing the other party's reply, Chen Gong was very happy, then turned to Yan Keqiu and said sincerely: "Master, my subordinate has a reluctant request. I am the same as Lu Yongzhi, who is detested to destroy the family and destroy the clan. Now it is a good opportunity for my subordinates. I also ask my subordinates to allow me to go and take revenge. If my subordinates do not die this time, leave it for their remaining body and repay the Lord for saving his life."
Yan Keqiu heard this and seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said with ease: "Then go, I will let Zaixing go with you, so that we can take care of each other."
"Thank you, Lord." Chen Gong bowed and thanked him, as if very grateful, and then greeted Yang Zaixing and Zhu Li and walked towards Zhang Shenjian.
Zhang Shenjian suddenly became a general and no longer insisted on burning the mansion. He talked to Yan Keke for a few words and took the three of them out of the city.
After the big show, Zhu Li, Yang Zaixing and Chen Gong successfully got under Zhang Shenjian's command.
Zhang Shenjian was very happy about the joining of the three. He knew Chen Gong's skills well and should be equal to him. But Yang Zaixing is different. This person is definitely a master. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. How can he not be excited to be able to obtain such a powerful general in such a dilemma?
Back in front of the military formation, Zhang Shenjian personally explained the misunderstanding to Bi Shiduo and Zheng Hanzhang. In desperation, the two of them hurriedly asked to find two animals and slaughter the flags in public, and then ordered the army to set off.
Entering the military camp, Zhu Li, Yang Zaixing, and Chen Gong immediately changed into armor. Under Zhang Shenjian's picking, each of them also obtained a strong horse. Yang Zaixing, wearing armor, became even more powerful. The true nature of a fierce general was undoubtedly clear. Zhang Shenjian was full of heart, Bi Shiduo, and Zheng Hanzhang was skeptical.
Bi Shiduo rebelled and joined forces with Zhang Shenjian and Zheng Hanzhang to attack Jiangdu.
Gao Pian was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately threw a big blow at the place where he was devoted to practicing Taoism. He was furious and pointed at Lu Yongzhi who came to complain and scolded him for being incompetent, and asked him to find a way to calm Bi Shiduo's rebellion.
Lu Yongzhi was also full of depression. He finally found some time today and sued Bi Shiduo for Gao Pian. However, before he could finish reciting Bi Shiduo's crimes, he received news that Bi Shiduo rebelled and marched into Jiangdu.
At this time, what else did Lu Yongzhi and Bi Shiduo say? He bullied and acted as a humiliating person some time ago.
Bi Shiduo, both sides are already dying enemies and will never stop until death.
When he returned to the mansion, Lu Yongzhi immediately dispatched troops and swore to fight against the rebels.
He ordered several trusted generals, led by Dong Jin, Xu Kan and Lu Chen, to lead ten thousand guards of the Yixiedu and 20,000 soldiers to fight.
Shao Bo is a small town located north of Jiangdu and south of Gaoyou.
The lakes in the suburbs of the town are spread out, including Ailing Lake, Qingsi Lake, Xingdang Lake, etc., which are based on Shaobo Lake. The stars hold the moon and guard the town like pearls. The four wild lakes are bright and green, and the fertile fields are hundreds of miles away.
Under the command of Bi Shiduo, the rebels and the counter-rebels led by Dong Jin encountered unexpectedly outside Shao Bo's wilderness due to the choice of route.
This is an encounter battle. You have to fight. You have to fight. A brave man will live in a narrow road. Both sides understand this truth. Such a battle will ultimately test the general's ability to adapt to changes.
As we all know, the Yixie Du Guard is the strongest army in Yangzhou. What's more, in addition to tens of thousands of Yixie Du Guards, Dong Jin also has 20,000 elite official soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the official soldiers is no less than that of Bi Shiduo's command. He directly competes in military strength, and Bi Shiduo has no chance of winning.
The two sides were five hundred meters apart and were ready to go. The only thing they were missing was a military order. Seeing that the war broke out in an instant, Bi Shiduo, who was as deep as water, frowned and had not yet come up with a countermeasure.
Behind Zhang Shenjian, Zhu Li, who was covered with a ghost face, gave Yang Zaixing a wink at Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing understood. Without waiting for Bi Shiduo, Zhang Shenjian ordered, and then rode out of the formation, carrying his sword and swung his spear.
This abrupt scene was beyond Bi Shiduo's expectations and also exceeded Dong Jin's imagination.
Yang Zaixing didn't care about the surprise of these people at all. He came to the middle of the battlefield, and immediately shouted loudly: "Yang Zaixing is a brigade commander under General Zhang. I have heard that Yangzhou has elite soldiers like rain and strong generals like clouds. At this time of storm, I would like to test the strength of the evil generals with the spear in his hand. I wonder who dares to fight in the rats in his ears?"
As soon as this statement was made, Dong Jin was restless, "Who dares to fight?" Just this sentence was very rampant, and the intention of contempt was tantamount to a thunder bombarding the hearts of these arrogant soldiers and generals. Faced with such naked provocation, how could these generals who have always claimed to be brave in Yangzhou?
And this sudden scene also made Zhang Shenjian confused. He didn't understand what Yang Zaixing was doing. Yang Zaixing claimed to be the commander of his brigade, but he had never granted any official position on the other party. Although he had this intention for a long time, he had been hesitating.
Now, this guy directly took an official position on his head. Even if Zhang Shenjian denies it now, it is too late. Zhu Li and the other two have always followed him. Who would believe his denial?
Yang Zaixing's behavior made Bi Shiduo and Zheng Hanzhang look at Zhang Shenjian suspiciously. Zhang Shenjian could only smile bitterly. Even if he explained, could these two believe it?
Without mentioning the doubts of the rebel generals, he was also hesitant to say that the rebel generals were fighting. Dong Jin was a bit handsome and was highly trusted by Lu Yongzhi. This time he was ordered to suppress the rebellion, but Lu Yongzhi still regarded him as the commander and took charge of the three armies.
Now he is facing Bi Shiduo with his superior forces. According to common sense, it is most advantageous to rush forward and start a war.
