Chapter 727 The hidden danger of hatred in the heart and the cannibalism
The Later Tang soldiers on the arch bridge of the east gate of Danchuan City who were still fighting stubbornly, facing the spear blades surging over the siege, were soon soaked in blood and fell down one after another.
"kill!"
Pei Yue was still dragging his seriously injured body, shouting loudly, and swung his sword to overturn the two Wei infantrymen who were killing him. When he saw the young general beside Ge Congzhou, the cavalry commander of Yibiao, even if he was fighting on foot, he still had to swing the steel knife to pieces, cut out a cold light and tear the air, and slash towards the young general's waist and ribs.
Even though he was lucky enough to kill the enemy general, Pei Yue knew very well that he was now surrounded by numerous enemy troops, and he had no chance of living today... But his burning fighting spirit was still burning in his blood-filled eyes!
"It's indeed a good man!"
Seeing Pei Yue coming without his life, the young general praised excitedly. However, two cavalry suddenly used it from him, and they followed Ge Congzhou for a long time. In terms of martial arts, the cavalry generals who were outstanding in the Yangwu Army were now commanded by the adopted son of Jie Shuai. The two of them swung the spear and axe in their hands. Before Pei Yue could slash the steel knife in his hand, the blade was swept by the heavy axe. Pei Yue could only hold the knife in one arm, and was almost fighting until the oil was exhausted. Pei Yue could no longer control it, so the steel knife immediately flew back!
At about the same time, another cavalryman's spear turned into a cold star and rushed down. The sharp spear tip immediately rushed into Pei Yue's body and penetrated his chest!
When the spear was retracted, blood splashed on the spot. The vitality of life in Pei Yue's body quickly disappeared. His angry eyes also dimmed. He suddenly fell to the ground and then fell heavily to the ground, without any movement.
Seeing that Pei Yue was already angry, the young general had already slaughtered the rest of the enemy soldiers who fought to the death on the arch bridge, under the encirclement and attack on both sides. He seemed to sigh inwardly, and then said:
"According to the adoptive father's wish, let's bury this Pei Yue...Ansheng."
The young general is named Xie Yanzhang. According to the official history, he is indeed Ge Congzhou's adopted son.
Xie Yanzhang was originally from the Zhongwu Army Xuzhou and was under the rule of the Wei Dynasty. He was an orphan since childhood. He was extremely smart and enlisted in the army for a livelihood. In just two or three years, Xie Yanzhang showed extraordinary talent. In addition, he had the same name as Wang Yanzhang, the chief tiger general of the Wei Dynasty, and he also attracted more and more attention in the army.
Li Tianqu was familiar with the history of the Five Dynasties, so even if he was the noble emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he was very concerned about the rising talents of the former Zhongwu Army, which was included in the capital. After a period of deliberate review of the famous book, he finally saw the name Xie Yanzhang, and then confirmed that his identity should be the uncensored jade in the army in history. Naturally, he recommended him to the Yangwu Army under the command of Ge Congzhou, so that the two of them could still become adoptive father and son.
What followed was exactly the same as the original trajectory. Ge Congzhou discovered that as his lord Li Tianqu said, this son was not only smart, but also had outstanding military talent, so he happily recognized Xie Yanzhang as his adopted son. Even though the rules of recognizing his godson these days were different, he still retained his original name and surname. However, Ge Congzhou carefully taught military tactics and gave them all the gifts, and Xie Yanzhang was so talented that he could do all his skills.
Since Xie Yanzhang served as the chief military commander of the Liang Kingdom and the two capitals of Liang Kingdom, and even the chief tutor and other important positions, when he went to fight against the Jin army, according to historical records, he saw the enemy army purging, and said, "The chief tutors of the two capitals are here." He was afraid of Xie Yanzhang's name, which almost reached the level of the fact that the Later Tang Dynasty called his adoptive father Ge Congzhou, a clone general, but also said, "There is a Ge in Shandong, so don't tease him if you have nothing to do."
On the other side of Danchuan City, He Gui, deputy governor of Yangwu Army, also commanded Yi Biao, and followed him out of the east gate. He was about to tell Ge Congzhou that the rest of the resisting enemy troops in the city had almost been eliminated. However, when he looked at Xie Yanzhang standing on the arch bridge and refused to surrender to the Wei Dynasty, Pei Yue, the tooth general of Zhaoyi Army who seemed to be lying in front of him... The smug smile on He Gui's face immediately frozen, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
As the deputy envoy of the Yangwu Army, He Gui originally thought that Ge Congzhou would be transferred elsewhere or had a good or bad job... Then he would definitely take over the position of commander of the vassal states. However, when the court transferred Xie Yanzhang to the Yangwu Army to take office, He Gui soon realized that this child would definitely threaten his position in the future.
The rise of the imperial court had already made He Gui feel alert when the imperial court transferred Huo Yanwei, Chunyu Yan and other soldiers to the Yangwu Army. But after all, he was still the deputy envoy of the vassal states. He Gui thought that based on his qualifications and status in the army, the two young people sent to command the military states were not enough to become their own threat... But when Xie Yanzhang went to the vassal states to take up his post, the situation was completely different.
Because Ge Congzhou not only in his spare time, he often summoned him to teach his military tactics, took coins, and placed his chess pieces in the plate to form a military formation, and taught Xie Yanzhang the secret of various types of military formations. What is hateful is that Xie Yanzhang is extremely smart, and he advances very quickly in the way of marching, using troops, and setting up formations. Ge Congzhou favored him even more, and it seemed that he was obviously intended to train him as his successor.
What's more, Ge Congzhou let Xie Yanzhang take control of military power and commanded the Ya army... Now, among the Yangwu Zhenya Army, under the Jiedushi, He Gui mainly commanded the infantry army, while Xie Yanzhang led the horse army (according to the "Old History of the Five Dynasties, Later Liang, Biography Six": At that time, he said that He Gui could command the infantry army and Yanzhang could lead the knights. Since his reputation was overwhelming, Gui was afraid of it).
Even though He Gui and Xie Yanzhang have a status among the vassal states, they are not on par with equal footing. But He Gui is nearly fifty years old, and Xie Yanzhang has just made his mark in the army. What's more, he is now in the limelight, and he recognizes Ge Congzhou as his adoptive father and is extremely appreciated... He Gui secretly hated him, thinking that this yellow-mouthed child will one day be destined to ride on his head?
I originally thought that with the young wife becoming a mother-in-law, she would one day be given the title of the governor who was in power and the commander of the country. But now Ge Congzhou obviously wanted to cultivate Xie Yanzhang as his successor... He Guixin said that he was as famous as this child, and he felt that he was disgraceful, and this son would inevitably be a major obstacle to his career in the future... He Gui's hatred for Xie Yanzhang was actually at the level of jealousy.
Ge Congzhou intended to ask Xie Yanzhang, the child to take Pei Yue's life, which clearly made him easily add a military achievement... In theory, I have been in the military for decades and was also a long-time general in the Wei Dynasty. This yellow-haired child is a latecomer. If he is going to be suppressed by him in the future, I will not be laughed at by others!?
He Gui thought about it jealously, but after a moment of silence, the hatred in his eyes and the hostility on his face disappeared. He immediately immediately urged him to come forward, and when he walked to Xie Yanzhang, he laughed loudly and said:
"The virtuous nephew was in charge of military affairs such as garrison, practice, and teaching in the vassal states. He was highly valued by the commander of the throne. Now he killed Pei Yue, an enemy general who was guarding Danchuan to resist our dynasty, and made military achievements. He is really a fearful life, and his future will inevitably be limitless..."
After hearing this, Xie Yanzhang immediately bowed and bowed on the horse's back and replied humbly:
"Meng He's deputy envoy misapproved, but this battle was entirely under the command of his father, and the deputy envoy He led the infantry to seize the city gate in time, so that he could destroy the Jin army in one fell swoop. My nephew intercepted the remaining enemy troops, but he was only in accordance with the orders of his father, and he decided not to take credit for his contributions..."
However, the more humble Xie Yanzhang replied, the more hatred He Gui felt in his heart. He still had a kind smile on his face, and praised Xie Yanzhang insincerely, but he still thought of him hatefully:
It’s a pity that you are Ge Congzhou’s adopted son after all. With his reliance, I can’t touch you now. But one day... I will never let you, a child, ride on my head!
