Chapter 305 Hit a punch, lest a hundred punches come
In the main hall at the back of the Thousand Households Official Hall in Chang'an Lingbao, Zhang Cheng was still lying on his back on the slump, while everyone gathered around. Chen Zhong had just fed him some ginseng soup with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Cheng's strength recovered slightly, and he said to Chen Zhong: "Give me an order to ask Wang Keda and Liu Shanzi to go to Muzhajian, and ask Zhao Shihu and Liu Quan to rush there with only cavalry. The general is waiting outside Diaohaobao."

Chen Zhong agreed and went out to deliver the order. Zhang Cheng called Li Changsheng, the captain of the guard, and said, "Changsheng, you take two people with you and set off for Dushi immediately. Remember not to pass through any castles, just stay in the camp." In the wild, we must rush back to Dushi day and night, and hand over this letter to Wu Zhizhong."

Li Changsheng also took orders in a low voice, turned around and exited the hall, summoned people and rode out of the fort, heading north towards Diaohao Fort.

…………

It turned out that after Zhang Cheng woke up, Chen Zhong and Zhang Guodong had also turned around. They climbed up the mountain wall and did not see the sneak attacking thieves, but Chen Zhong found more than ten robbers in a valley and dense forest not far away. People guard nearly a hundred war horses.

Although he mistakenly thought that Zhang Cheng had been killed, he was extremely angry, but he did not completely lose his mind. At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to avenge his general.

Especially the team officer Peng Sanwang kept reminding him by his side: "Chen Shao, you have to live... Mr. Chen... Only if you live... can you avenge the general..."

At this time, Chen Zhong had also regained his senses. He knew that what he wanted to kill was not those who watched the horses, but those who sneaked up on the cliffs of the valley road, and even the mastermind behind the scenes.

He gathered the knights, sneaked into the edge of the forest in batches, and designed to attract three people to capture them on the spot, and took them to a distance to directly question them.

In order to find out the result as soon as possible, Chen Zhong actually ordered his subordinates to dismantle the first person who refused to speak into pieces into a pile of pieces of meat. The other two were so frightened that their bodies went limp, and they directly confessed to them. All that is known.

Although Chen Zhong gritted his teeth with hatred, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. He buried the pile of minced meat first, and hurried back to Chang'an Ridge Fort with the two survivors.

He met Zhang Guodong on the way, and when he learned that Chen Zhong had captured two survivors and asked about the general situation, Zhang Guodong ran back to Baocheng with him to see Zhang Cheng.

As soon as Chen Zhong entered the house, he knelt in front of Zhang Cheng's lying slump, his face covered with tears, weeping bitterly, he blamed himself for not protecting Zhang Cheng well, he had failed in his duty, and asked Zhang Cheng to punish him.

Everyone in the room was silent, and they only knew that after Zhang Guodong's statistics, this time the attack was attacked, because everyone was marching on their own territory, they never thought that there would be an ambush.

For the sake of convenience and to reduce the burden on their horses, they didn't wear armor. Only Zhang Cheng's [-] guards died on the spot, and [-] people were injured by arrows, including the team officer Lei Zhancheng. .

The two people captured by Chen Zhong were the servants of Xue Jing, the commander of Kaipingwei. They and another person were left by General Xue Jing to take care of their own horses, but they were lured out by Chen Zhong and captured alive. .

…………

"General, give the order. I'll go into Chicheng and slaughter Wu Youlu." Chen Zhong asked eagerly with a face full of anger.

However, Wei Zhice persuaded him from the side: "General, you can't do that. After all, Wu Youlu is the garrison of a fort, and he has the rank of guarding a commanding officer. The general can't kill him without authorization."

Chen Zhong also knew that what he said was the truth, but he still gave Wei Zhice a vicious look in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng to see how he would make a decision.

Zhang Guodong said in a deep voice at this time: "We have more than fifty fine cavalry now, and we have rushed into Chicheng, and it is easy to capture and kill a guard, but if we want to control the whole fort, so that the news does not spread to Dushi, it is somewhat difficult."

He paused for a moment, glanced at the people in the room, his eyes paused on Liu Shizun and Wei Zhice, and then continued: "The general has just sent someone to summon other subordinates, and he must have made up his mind. .”

Zhang Cheng moved his body, and Chen Zhong saw that he remembered, so he hurried forward and grabbed a cushion and put it behind Zhang Cheng, so that he could turn his body slightly, before retreating back to the row of people.

Zhang Cheng glanced at everyone in the hall with stern eyes, Liu Shizun seemed to think of something at this moment, he said softly to Zhang Cheng: "General, I still have some things to take care of, so I will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave the hall. Zhang Cheng stopped him softly and said, "World Honored One, you don't need to avoid it. We are all members of our own family. We would have trusted you!"

Liu Shizun was very moved by Zhang Cheng's words, he stopped silently and stood beside Chen Zhong, and stopped talking. He stared at Zhang Cheng very firmly, waiting for his orders.

Looking at the people in the house, Zhang Cheng felt very comforted. Although he was attacked this time, it was difficult, but it also tested the attitude and loyalty of the people around him to him.

He first said to Liu Shizun: "Shizun, go and prepare two carriages and a coffin, made of better materials, and my wounded subordinates will stay at your place to recuperate."

Liu Shizun received the order loudly with a resolute expression, and said again: "General, I still have five hundred elite soldiers in Chang'an Ridge to mobilize."

Zhang Cheng looked at him and said with a smile: "World Honored One, I don't treat you as an outsider, but today's matter is the affairs of my North Road, and it is inconvenient for you to intervene. In the future, there will be things that need your assistance. Hurry up today."

Liu Shizun also knew that Zhang Cheng would not let him intervene in this matter, so he no longer insisted, and left to prepare the carriage and coffin. Only Chen Zhong, Wei Zhice, and Zhang Guodong were left in the room with Zhang Cheng.

It wasn't until this time that the three of them saw the cold light flashing in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he said with a sallow and cold face: "Zhi Ce, you immediately record the statements for the two arrested students and ask them to sign it." Draw a charge, ask Liu Shizun to sign the joint trial with you and others.

In addition, prepare a few more letters about the collusion between Wu Youlu and Xue Jing, as well as the letters between the two of them and the Muzhajian bandit Zhao Shihu. After I get to Chicheng and obtain their handwriting, I will copy them in imitation.

You should know that Xue Jing, the commander of Kaipingwei, and Wu Youlu, the garrison of Chicheng, are insane, colluding with bandits, plotting against the superiors, and trying to rebel. Xuanzhen shook Gyeonggi. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng stopped, looked at the three of them with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You have to remember, whether you can gain a foothold on the North Road, whether you can create a bright and bright world in this chaotic world, all depends on you." One blow this time."

Chen Zhong and the others received the order in unison, but Wei Zhice said hesitantly, "General..."

Zhang Cheng knew what he was going to say, so he held him back and said, "There is no need to say more about Zhice, today's matter must be settled."

He looked up at the sunlight coming in from the window, and said again:
"Shoot a punch, lest a hundred punches come!"
