Eunuch Commands - C127
Everything was the same as before. Zhang Shuye cleaned up the army camp, trained the soldiers, and asked about the movements of the enemy troops. It was as if nothing had happened at all.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuye’s family members were not at He Jian, and had gone to their home in Jiangxi Province instead.
After all, the higher-ups in the city were unable to sit still. The more “normal” Zhang Shuye was, the more “normal” he was.
Zhao Huan became even more suspicious: If you, Zhang Shuye, do not have any ulterior motives, you can enter the city and correct your own name.
The Zhao Huan who thought that he was wise would definitely give Zhang Shuye a chance to defend himself.
As an ordinary commoner, Zhang Zhong secretly contacted the enemies that usually conflicted with Zhang Shuye. He frequently added fuel to the fire in front of Zhao Huan, as he wholeheartedly wanted to put Zhang Shuye to death.
Zhao Huan’s patience reached its limit very quickly. If not for Zhou Yu’s persuasion, he would have long ago run out of the city to take Zhang Shuye’s life.
Zhou Yu’s attitude was very clear, but also very resolute: She believes that Zhang Shuye definitely does not have any other intentions.
Of course, Zhao Huan would not easily refute a beauty’s dignity just because of her. As for Zhou Yu’s excuse, it did not affect Zhao Huan’s suspicion at all.
A few days later, he started to get anxious. An army of a hundred thousand would need to consume a huge amount of food and materials every day. Although he had obtained a huge amount of wealth and resources after exterminating Liao, relatively speaking, the entire north had been in war for a long time and was almost in ruins.
Eager to invade the south, plunder the fertile Song Kingdom’s Central Plains, imminent.
Wushu sent someone to urge Zhang Zhong, and Zhang Zhong decided to use his lightning method again.
That night, Zhang Zhong sent two death warriors to assassinate Zhao Huan.
Of course it was not real assassination, but could feel the threat behind it.
Sure enough, Zhao Huan was drinking with his trusted aides in the tavern in the city as usual.
Halfway through the alcohol, two people who pretended to be waiters asked for justice for Zhang Shuye.
After making a ruckus, the two of them pulled out their weapons.
The few people walking with Zhao Huan had long reached a tacit understanding that they would help Zhao Huan block the assassin.
The two assassins didn’t stay any longer and quickly left.
In addition to being gratified by the feelings he had towards his trusted aides, Zhao Huan had a deep fear of Zhang Shuye.
Zhao Huan did not notify Chone Shidao. He immediately gathered the fifty thousand soldiers that were stationed in the city and rushed to Zhang Shuye’s camp.
On the night watch, it was Zhang Jie. From afar, he saw a large group of people and horses approaching from the direction of the city. It was unknown how much was hidden in the darkness.
Zhang He was shocked, he brought over ten patrolling soldiers to welcome them, “Which army is in front?”
When the Imperial Army s arrived at the front of the formation, they lined up and lined up. Archers lined up in a straight line and aimed at Zhang He.
A group of great generals came out from the crowd, their entire bodies draped over as they held onto iron spears, and shouted loudly: “Wang Huan is here! On the orders of His Highness the crown prince, he had come to apprehend the traitor Zhang Shuye! It has nothing to do with anyone else.
This Wang Huan was originally an emissary of the Hebei region of Henan, with an iron spear in his hands, he swept through Henan and Hebei, and very few people could be his opponent, but this time, he was actually Chone Shidao’s personal general, a vanguard officer.
When Zhang He heard Wang Huan’s name, his heart trembled.
The Crown Prince had sent Wang Huan to capture his uncle, there was no reason for him to sit still. Zhang He jumped on his horse and said, “It’s not just Zhang He, I wonder what kind of things my uncle did?”
Wang Huan said in a solemn voice, “Zhang Shuye colluded with the gold thief and intentionally sold the country out. He even sent people to assassinate His Highness the crown prince.
Zhang He sneered, “Do you have any evidence?”
< p > This…
Wang Huan remained silent.
Zhang He resisted and said, “Our Zhang Family is loyal to one’s family, and has been indebted to the imperial government for generations. General, please reconsider! ”
Wang Huan understood in his heart, but since he had come according to the order, he could not go against it. He sighed slightly and said, “Since that’s the case, then please follow me back to the city.
Zhang He laughed out loud, “If I am to be the chopping block, wouldn’t it be fish? I am afraid the Crown Prince may not be able to differentiate right from wrong! ”
< p > “How dare you!”
Wang Huan bellowed.
Zhang He’s expression turned serious as he pointed at the spear in his hand, “If you win against me in the spear, then my uncle and nephew will be tied down!”
Anger welled up in Wang Huan, and he swung his gun at Zhang Jie.
Two horses were circling around each other as they fought. In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, the two of them fought a total of fifteen or sixteen times.
Zhang He’s skills were superb, his spear skills were superb, causing Wang Huan to immediately withdraw his contempt. Carefully, the two of them matched each other’s skills, evenly matched.
Both sides were in the Song Dynasty army, so there was no chaotic battle occurring. Both sides cheered for their respective generals.
Someone had already gone back to report to Zhang Shuye.
Zhang Shuye was shocked, he anxiously donned on his clothes and rushed over, seeing the two of them fighting in the distance, Zhang Shuye shouted: “Stop!”
Zhang Jianwen called out. He swung his spear and galloped back.
Wang Huan did not chase after him.
Zhang Shuye walked in front of Wang Huan and cupped his hands. “Ignorant nephew, offending General Hu Wei, please forgive me! May I ask what is the purpose of the general’s coming here at night? ”
< p > “How dare you!” Your nephew has great martial arts skills, as expected of a young hero! ”
Wang Huan respected Zhang Shuye’s heroic name, and quickly dismounted and returned the greeting, “I have come in accordance to the orders of the crown prince. Come… to invite you back to the city. ”
Zhang Shuye was not stupid. In the middle of the night, he had been told by Wang Huan to bring this many horses and soldiers, and he had already known this very well.
Zhang Shuye asked Wang Huan, “Does General think that I am the unforgivable villain against all evil?”
< p > This…
Wang Huan was a straightforward man, he muttered to himself slightly, and said honestly: “Elder Zhang is loyal, he is definitely not someone you can compare to.”
Zhang Shuye spoke in a solemn voice: “I am indebted to General Zhang for not abandoning me!”
Zhang Shuye glanced at the Imperial Army soldiers behind Wang Huan, and said loudly: “Everyone here, am I the villain?”
The name of the person, the shadow of the number.
The story of the bloody battle at the Sunset Ridge had already spread widely. When it came to Zhang Shuye, who didn’t give him a big thumbs up?
Quite a number of people in the crowd began to shout out.
“We know Master Zhang was wrongly accused!”
< p > “We support Master Zhang!”
The voice was getting louder and louder.
Zhang Shuye was deeply touched. He cupped his fist towards the crowd and bowed, “I am not talented. Please be magnanimous.”
Wang Huan said: “Why not Zhang Gong follow me back to the city? I will definitely protect master!”
Zhang Shuye nodded and just as he was about to mount the horse, Zhang He stopped him, “Uncle, please wait!”
Zhang Shuye and Wang Huan were stunned as they turned to look at Zhang He.
Zhang He bowed respectfully towards Wang Huan and said, “The safety of Lord Uncle depends entirely on General Wang. If there are any mishaps, please ask General Wang to go on a date with an old man. This is the responsibility of the army, and we shall take it all on our shoulders. The battalion is with the people, and those who break the army will perish! ”
After he finished speaking, Zhang He bellowed and led his subordinates back to the camp. His voice was filled with sorrow, causing those who heard it to be moved!
< p > “Save it!”
Wang Huan graciously promised before bringing Zhang Shuye back to the city to report.
