Chapter 274
When the lieutenant general woke up from a coma, he found himself lying in a simple tent.

There was a familiar figure sitting in front of him.

He was wiping his saber carefully with a rag dipped in sword oil.

"you're awake?"

As if aware of the movement behind him, the man spoke to him in a familiar tone without turning his head.

"General, where is this..."

The lieutenant general looked around, he had been in the army for many years, so it was not difficult for him to recognize that he was in a camp now, but he clearly remembered that he and the general were both prisoners of the Chetuo people.

"This is the camp of the Chetuo people. Don't you know why I'm here?"

Zheng Xin's tone was neither happy nor sad, he glanced at him and snorted coldly.

Recalling what he did to Zheng Xin, the lieutenant showed a shy expression, regardless of the injuries on his body, rolled off the bed with a plop, and fell heavily in front of Zheng Xin.

"The last general is in a hurry, so I can only use this bad plan to knock you out, general. This matter is all my attention, and it has nothing to do with other brothers. If you want to kill or cut me up, the general will do as you please. I just ask the general to spare the others. brother!"

Unexpectedly, when Zheng Xin heard this, he laughed instead of anger.

"All of you are loyal and blame yourself, and I will become that indiscriminate villain?"

Seeing that Zheng Xin didn't seem to be very angry, the lieutenant also plucked up the courage to stand up and shake off the dust on his body.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zheng Xin squinting over.

"Did I ask you to stand up?"

As soon as the words fell, the lieutenant subconsciously slumped and sat back down.

"Say, why do you want to hold this general hostage to join the enemy?"

Zheng Xin's tone was very flat, but it was precisely this tone that made the lieutenant shudder.

Anyone who is familiar with Zheng Xin knows that the calmer his general is, the greater the anger in his heart.

At this moment, I am afraid that it is not on the verge of eruption.

In the past, the lieutenant general would have knelt on the ground a long time ago, dared not take a breath and let go, but today he was standing in the camp of Chetuo. I don't know who gave him the courage, but the lieutenant held his neck and raised his head, which was unprecedented. Argued the first time.

"If it's possible, General, we brothers also want to serve the imperial court. Even if we die in battle in Shanggu City, we'll be better off being traitors. The loss of our head is only a scar the size of a bowl. I'm afraid it's not a man!"

"But general, we guarded for [-] days. For the whole [-] days, we didn't wait for a reinforcement. The nearest Fanghua town is only a three-day journey here, and we can reach it by marching day and night. But, general, have you ever seen To half a figure?"

The lieutenant stared fixedly at Zheng Xin's face with a pair of tiger eyes, and only heard a sigh after a while.

"Without the king's order, deploying troops without authorization is tantamount to treason. Zhang Buyi doesn't have the guts to do that."

However, before he could finish speaking, the lieutenant shouted emotionally again.

"Okay, let's pretend that he doesn't have the guts, but the soldiers sent out to ask for help arrived at Wangcheng on the second night. Eight days, eight days, even if they walked sixty miles a day, they could climb to Shanggu Town. What is Yang Benzhong doing to eat!"

"He never forgot his fine clothes and fine food when he went out to battle. Pity our brothers. What did we eat after the city was broken? What we ate was dead rat meat, and what we ate were cut from our comrades—"

The Chetuo dead soldiers entered the city from the tunnel, and the first thing they did was to touch the place where the grain and grass were stored, and set fire to the grain warehouse.

That is to say, from the eighth day onwards, the people of Shiyu had run out of food, but even under such a difficult environment, they still fought guerrillas in the city and dragged the people of Chetuo for three days.

The lieutenant general's face was already full of tears.

"Stop! I've said enough!"

Zheng Xin couldn't bear to listen any longer, he yelled loudly to tell the lieutenant to shut up.

"I'm not! General, if I don't say it, I'm not happy. I'm sorry for you and even more sorry for the brothers who died!"

Unexpectedly, the lieutenant general continued to speak on his own.

"Originally, Shanggu City should be able to defend. It was the dog emperor who was very happy. He asked us to divide our troops to go to the front line to help. If we hadn't been sent away with [-] guards, how could the city be burned to death by the Chetuo people because of the lack of troops? forage!"

"We did our best in what we should do, but what about the imperial court, the princes in red and purple clothes, do they treat us stinky soldiers as human beings at all?"

"So we want to join the enemy, we want to help the Chetuo people defeat Yang Benzhong, and ask him if the cook can save his life, we even have to fight to the king's city, and ask those who are civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty, there is no such stinky soldier like us , Can they sleep peacefully!"

The lieutenant general's eyes were filled with rancid anger.

"But what about your family, your two sons and daughters who are only full moon, what crime do they have?"

Zheng Xin sighed, and couldn't bear to blame him.

The lieutenant general sat in front of the bed in a daze when he heard the words. Zheng Xin's questioning finally woke him up from his anger, and his face gradually turned pale.

According to Shiyu's laws, all families who surrendered to the enemy should be executed, and women and children should be punished and confiscated into the Jiaofang Division.

If I lost my life, I would be gone, but how can the Zhang family have a hundred or so people?

The lieutenant finally understood why Zheng Xin insisted on dying that day.

If you die, your family members can still survive; but once the news of your life spreads, your family members may have to die.

"Mo Duo thinks, I have already pleaded with Che Tuo King, if this act is to deceive Yang Benzhong, if it is really because of this person's delay in the military situation, this official will definitely not forgive him, if the delay is not what he intended, I will delay the time to send you out , Tell the army that Hugh will be deceived!"

Zheng Xin patted the lieutenant general on the shoulder. Up to now, he still can't believe that someone would dare to delay the military situation just for the sake of a cook.

Let this kind of person be a general, could it be that Shiyu Guozhen is exhausted?
"Who are you cheating on?"

The deputy general was still shocked that his general had figured it out and didn't hear the key information.

"Yang Benzhong, you have been in a coma for a day and a night, this talent will come to Shanggu, now King Chetuo is planning to use his tactics, pretending that the battle situation is still anxious, and wants to ambush him."

"At that time, there will be a vanguard officer entering the city to spy on information. I will earn him into the general's mansion and ask about the postponement. You only need to..."

Zheng Xin lowered his head and whispered to the lieutenant, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Then if it really is..."

The lieutenant nodded to indicate that he understood, but he still hesitated.

"If this is the case, the grace of the three generations of my Zheng family has been repaid at this moment, and there will be no Zheng Xin in the future, only Zheng Chou, a general in King Chetuo's army."

"You and others have also changed their appearances. King Chetuo promised not to tell us about our surrender."

Zheng Xin raised the sharp sword that had been cleaned to the oil lamp, and the light shone on the sword, reflecting his cold eyes.

The king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, and the ministers regard him as his heart;

The favor of the old king, the Zheng family has finished repaying, should the other party also repay the debt owed?
