Chapter 169 a mess

Outside the east gate of Langzhou, Zhang Zizheng, standing on the horse, surrounded by light cavalry, was calm and calmly watching the dense Wuping army, wearing a striking purple official robe, and a look of Mount Tai falling in front of him without changing his expression.

In the purple robe and clothes, however, Zhang Ziyi was different from the past at this time.

His mentor Xu Xuan did not swear by him. After following King Zheng, he quickly made a fortune. After Xu Xuan became the right prime minister, this vain bachelor who was leisurely all day long was quickly promoted to the Secretariat who drafted the emperor's edict and was appointed as the Tongjian Doctor. Then, under the recommendation of King Zheng, he was able to show his talents and knowledge in front of Emperor Li Jing, and he was able to recite poems and lyrics in front of Emperor Li Jing. When the emperor was happy, he specially gave him a purple robe to show his favor.

Since Zhang Zi put on this purple robe that represents glory, he was unruly in the past and became neat. Although he was anxious to wait outside the city gate, he still raised his hand to touch him constantly, shaking his cuffs, as if he was afraid that he would be contaminated by the dust splashed from the horse's hooves. This twisted manner made many Wu Ping soldiers laugh secretly.

With a "creaking" sound, the East City Gate finally slowly opened. Zhang Zi immediately tidied up his clothes, raised his chest and raised his head.

I thought that Li Yuan was ordered to come and summon him, but even Li Yuan was in the limelight, he had to obediently abide by his ministers and lead the civil and military officials in Wuping to welcome him. Not to mention that the scene was very warm, it was in line with the etiquette. But when he saw that a few fast horses were racing out of the city gate, the people immediately had a gloomy face and were suddenly feeling something was wrong.

But the cavalry around Zhang Zi became increasingly uneasy. They did not have the confidence in Zhang Zi's heart now, just because the scene in front of him was indeed very enthusiastic. Isn't this dense army of ten thousand eyes enough?

"The Sword"

"Sheren Zhang has been waiting for a long time!" Liu Jiangsheng and Zhu Kuangcong followed the two generals, and they were the first to step forward and greet each other with a calm expression.

Zhang Zi smiled stiffly and bowed his hand to return the greeting, but his eyes were searching in the deep city gate in front of him. Until the city gate was closed again, no one ran out. On the few horses that were streaked beside the two generals, no one was seen wearing the rumored golden armor or the same purple robe as him.

"Where is Marshal Li? Does he have important matters in the city?" Zhang Zi temporarily held back and asked with a frown.

Liu Jiangsheng smiled calmly and said, "Zhang Sheren, since the pacification of Langzhou, our general has been working hard day and night to govern the government and comfort the people. In addition, the recent wars have been taking place, and there are important tasks almost every day, and the same is true at this moment! Yiyang is now in crisis, and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles. The general wants to lead the army to rush to help...

Since His Highness Zheng came to work hard, the commander should have been ordered to obey the order, but because the soldiers are now fighting bloody battles in front of him, he needs to listen to His Majesty's will to inspire morale. My Majesty is noble and dare not take personal favors. He invites the King of Zheng to announce the order in front of the army to show his power! In this way, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted and he will win! Your Majesty will be happy at that time, and the King of Zheng will also make an indelible contribution..."

Indeed, after becoming a general, Liu Jiangsheng often humbly asked Xu Kuangheng for advice, as if it had played a role. Now that he is speaking in a very literary way, he is more and more organized. This reasonable and well-founded naturally plays a role. Zhang Zi's face suddenly became gloomy. He was about to refute but hesitated, and finally hesitated. He coldly squeezed out: "After saying so much, did Marshal Li just avoid it?"

Then his eyes turned, shook his head and said with a grin: "I have heard of the reputation of General Li in the court for a long time. Now I have learned about it. The famous general of the world is really a big shot! General Li has important tasks every day, and he is really busy every day, but he doesn't expect that His Highness Zheng is also traveling thousands of miles this time, and he has been busy with boats and cars, and forced us to travel day and night. Isn't it just to arrive in Langzhou early to work hard?

Since you are a labor force, your highness will command the commander of the army to obey the order. What's wrong with it? As you said, if the general is really noble and honest, he wants the soldiers under his command to be grateful to the emperor, why did he instead ask the soldiers to form a formation to reject the highness's car? There are different opinions, and there may be suspicion of hiding evil intentions!"

Perhaps because of his impatience, Zhang Zi's words were obviously beyond the scope of sarcasm, but they were already too extreme.

When Liu Jiangsheng heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, but how could Zhu Kuangcong, who had always been reckless, be able to withstand it? He shouted "Winter" and slapped the long sword in his hand straight to the ground, and scolded fiercely: "Nonsense, what harbors evil intentions? The general has made many achievements for our dynasty! He is unparalleled in loyalty and courage, and everyone knows it! How can you let slander? As thin as a hen, you little white snare, get off for me!"

Seeing that Zhu Kuangcong was already cursing with a grin, both sides suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. Liu Jiangsheng took a deep breath, and his eyes were eager to signal Zhu Kuangcong to stop speaking, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Don't be surprised by Zhang Sheren! Zhu Dushi has always been like this. He is a good player in war. Unfortunately, he speaks too directly and cannot control the right position. My general often scolds him...

But after all, the words are rough and not rough! Zhang Sheren said that just now is a bit over! Even His Majesty is often praised by the general's loyalty and courage. His past achievements have made great achievements, and at this time he is even more responsible for pacifying Chu. He just pacified Dongxi, but he has been working hard against the Han army that has come with victory. He does not hesitate to work for the country. If it is said to be a ill-hearted intention, it may disappoint the soldiers and people in Wuping. His Majesty will definitely not be happy after hearing this!"

Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, Zhu Kuangcong still couldn't help but shouted: "What a sacrificial person? If your words affect the morale of the army and delay the war, you can say it yourself, can you afford it? You dress like a slutty person, but unfortunately you open your mouth too much. Your mouth is too smelly, don't implicate Your Highness Zheng!

I asked me to go back quickly and ask Your Highness to prepare quickly and lead the army to the front line of Yiyang! Isn’t it just to comfort the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country? If you don’t even dare to go to the front line and still have a ghost, why not go back to Jinling to comfort the women!”

Liu Jiangsheng held back his smile and said seriously: "Zhu Du Envoy, Zhang Sheren worked hard all the way, so don't be rude!"

The two of them in front of him were in harmony. Zhang Zi was angry and anxious, and almost didn't spit out an old blood. He had always had a clear mind, but at this moment he seemed to be surrounded by him. Or because Zhu Kuangcong's fierce look was really heart-warming, he didn't dare to refute him. He was embarrassed and angry and had to grit his teeth and said, "Since the general is determined, I have to report to Your Highness according to the facts! But if you work hard, your Highness still needs to decide. I can't make the decision!"

Zhu Kuangcong smiled and said, "Oh, please stop! Military affairs are busy, so I won't send them away!"

Just as he was about to turn his horse's head and leave angrily, an imperial guard mustered up the courage to whisper to Zhang Zi: "Zhang Sheren, if we really go back like this, your highness will definitely be furious..."

Having said that, with just dozens of cavalry beside him, what can Zhang Zizheng be so angry that he exploded? He was helpless in front of him with a dense army of Wuping. He had to lower his voice and give orders to the guard beside him, while holding the reins and not returning.

In just five miles away, Zhang Zi was very distressed. In addition to trying to calm the anger gushing in his chest, he also had to think about how to explain to King Zheng. The scene of King Zheng's thunder and furious appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but tremble.
