Chapter 1814 Where is General Wang
While General Wang and the surviving officers and soldiers under his command were scrambling to express their loyalty to the Japanese pirates and their willingness to cooperate with the Japanese pirates to deceive the city in order to survive, the Suzhou prefect still held a flying pigeon letter in his hand. Under the protection of a group of officers and soldiers, they galloped along the broad road along the city wall to the east gate city.
"Where is General Wang? Where is General Wang?" After arriving at the East Gate City, Magistrate Shang quickly got off his horse and shouted loudly.
"Master, General Wang," the deputy general's eyes were a little dodgey, and he hesitated to speak.
"General Wang is injured? Or is it unfortunate."
When Magistrate Shang saw the deputy general's appearance, he thought something was wrong with General Wang. He couldn't help but feel a little in his heart and asked nervously.
Although General Wang has various shortcomings, he is the best among cripples. General Wang is also a rare general in command of the army in the city. The Japanese pirates outside the city are sieging the city. It is the time to recruit people. Don’t damage me at this time. A general.
"No, Lord Fu, General Wang is not injured." The deputy general shook his head, still hesitant to speak.
"Oh, it's okay, General Wang. I just defeated the Japanese pirates. I'm tired. It's normal to rest and eat. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Please take me to find General Wang." When Magistrate Shang heard that General Wang was not injured, he thought that General Wang was having a meal or catching up on his sleep, so he asked his deputy to take him to find General Wang.
"Ahem, Lord Mansion, we can't find General Wang at this time." The deputy general considered his words and replied softly.
"Can't find it? What do you mean? Could it be that General Wang went to the city to find a woman to have a good time and relax?"
Zhifu Shang frowned slightly. Although defending the city and repelling the Japanese pirates worked hard, but not As for being so anxious to find a woman, at least it won't be too late to find a woman after the Japanese pirates have completely retreated and left Suzhou Prefecture.
"Ahem, Lord Fu, General Wang didn't go to the city to find a woman, he, he." The deputy general shook his head and hesitated.
"That's enough. I don't have time to guess here. Tell me where General Wang is. Just say it straight and don't beat around the bush."
Prefect Shang was impatient and felt something was wrong. He looked at the deputy general with burning eyes and asked unceremoniously.
"My lord, General Wang, after we defeated the Japanese pirates, he led a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates."
The deputy general did not dare to hide anything anymore, lowered his head and raised his fists to the magistrate Shang. He saluted and told everything about General Wang going out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates.
"What?! General Wang went out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates?!"
Hearing this, Zhifu Shang staggered as if he had been hit by an arrow, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Master Fu, Master Fu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" The deputy general chuckled and hurriedly stepped forward to support Magistrate Shang.
"Why did General Wang go out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates?! Didn't I tell you repeatedly not to go out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates?!"
Zhifu Shang was like a headless fly, pacing around in circles for several times. Then he questioned the deputy general repeatedly in annoyance.
"Your Excellency, General Wang wants to leave the city. General Wang tried to persuade him again and again, but General Wang said that the general would not accept his orders. The opportunity to fight was fleeting, and General Wang was humble and understated. General Wang insisted. What will we do if we leave the city? "
The deputy general explained with a look of aggrievedness, feeling like a rat in a bellows, unable to bear the splint.
“Hey, this is bad! Mr. Zhu Ping’an passed on the legend of the flying pigeon. It has been found out that the Japanese pirates outside the city have been searching for the people hiding outside the city in the past two days and shaving them into Japanese pirate hairstyles. , put on Japanese pirate clothes , forcing them to attack the city and die, so that we could misjudge the strength of the Japanese pirates and mistakenly believe that they were vulnerable, and lured us out of the city to pursue them. General Wang led his troops out of the city to pursue them, and fell into the Japanese pirates' scheme. "
Magistrate Shang was like an ant on a hot pot, circling around the city wall, angry, panicked and worried.
“Huh?!”
After hearing what Magistrate Shang said, the deputy general also panicked.
No wonder the Japanese pirates always feel so weak. It turns out that those who attack the city are ordinary people who were captured and forced by the Japanese pirates.
This makes sense, why the Japanese pirates are so weak, why they are so incompetent in military affairs, that’s why!
Doesn't that mean the general is in danger? ! Wouldn't it be dangerous for a thousand soldiers and horses to follow the general out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates? !
The deputy general's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood why Lord Fu Zun was so panicked just now.
"Master Fu Zun, what should we do now?" Lieutenant General Liu Shen Wu Zhu asked.
"What else can we do? Close the city gate. No one is allowed to open the city gate unless I speak! No matter who comes, no one is allowed to open the door. Do you understand?!" Magistrate Shang said to the deputy general with a serious look on his face. ordered.
"Master Fu, what if General Wang is here?" the deputy general asked hesitantly.
"I just said that no matter who it is! You have to wait for me to speak before you can open the city gate. General Wang is no exception! Now, do you remember?!"
Zhifu Shang patted hard. He patted the deputy general on the shoulder and emphasized it again in a stern voice.
"Yes, yes, the general understands that no matter who it is, he must report to the Lord of the Palace. The Lord of the Palace orders the city gate to be opened, and the general will open the city gate. Otherwise, no matter who it is, no matter what the situation is, Even the last general will not open the city gate. "
This time, the deputy general fully understood what Shang Zhifu meant, nodded vigorously, and expressed his stance to Shang Zhifu.
"Very good, I will order a group of reinforcements to be dispatched. The east gate will be left to you for the time being. Don't disappoint me! I will inspect the other two gates. If there are no problems with the other gates, I will come back and take charge of the east gate.”
Magistrate Shang nodded with satisfaction, told the deputy general, got on his horse, and led people to inspect other city gates non-stop.
General Wang of the East Gate led his troops out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates. What about the North Gate and Northwest Gate? ! But don’t let anyone go out of the city to chase Japanese pirates like General Wang did!
Zhifu Shang galloped all the way on the city wall and quickly arrived at the North Gate. Fortunately, no one from the North Gate left the city to pursue the Japanese pirates. Zhifu Shang conveyed Zhu Pingan’s flying pigeon message to the defenders at the North Gate. He accused them of the Japanese pirates' conspiracy to lure the defenders out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates, and sternly warned them that they were strictly prohibited from leaving the city to pursue the Japanese pirates without his orders. No matter who they were, they would be severely punished for disobeying military orders.
Then, Magistrate Shang rushed to the Northwest Gate. Fortunately, no one from the Northwest Gate went out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates.
Zhifu Shang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the east gate, Zhifu Shang couldn't help but feel anxious.
Urgently coordinated a thousand soldiers and horses and 500 young men from the city, north gate and northwest gate to rush to the east gate to aid.
Zhifu Shang also personally went to the east gate to suppress the battle, and also brought a group of officials who knew military affairs to help him.
When Magistrate Shang arrived at the East Gate City, he heard a sudden noise from the officers and soldiers on Chengqiangshan, pointing in the distance. (End of this chapter)
