Chapter 3827 Watching the Fire across the River
Du Huaigong was unruly and had a violent temper. When he heard that Du Congze mentioned Li Yulong, he immediately became angry and threw the wine cup to the ground, furious.
Du Cong was holding the wine cup, not understanding why Du Huaigong suddenly broke out, and looked confused.
Du He, who was standing next to him, quickly gave Du Huaigong a hand and persuaded him: "Why should you take it to heart when your brother says something unintentionally? Besides, that matter is just your own wild imagination and there is no real evidence. You You have to think about the good things. Who would want to put a shit basin on their head? ”
Du Congze was puzzled: "What's going on?"
Du Huaigong grabbed the jug, raised his head, and drank half the jug of wine in one go. He let out a long burp and his eyes turned red...
"Alas!"
Du He let out a long sigh and said to the confused Du Congze: "It's not because he's disrespectful to you, but because he suspects that his beloved wife and his second wife are not familiar with each other. They even did good deeds before they got married. Later, there was a secret communication, which led to disharmony between the couple, and the British father even wanted to kill him in order to choose a better son-in-law for his daughter. "
"Huh?"
Du Cong opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.
If this matter is true, it is understandable that Du Huaigong did not dare to follow Li Jidong in the Eastern March. These days, he is quite tolerant towards women, and divorce and remarriage often happen. However, a woman's honor and integrity are more important than a man's dignity, so divorce is not a big deal. How can it compare to losing one's father?
After all, no one wants their ex-husband, who once shared a bed with his wife and knew every inch of his wife, to appear in front of him from time to time...
His eyes widened: "Have you ever caught someone in bed?"
Du Huaigong raised his head suddenly and glared at him: Are you polite?
Du Congze smiled awkwardly. Although he knew that it was indeed rude to ask such a question, he couldn't restrain the fire of gossip burning in his heart. After all, Li Ji's daughter looked smart, bright, delicate, and delicate, but she was really the one under the bed. The gift...
Du Huaigong stood up angrily and walked away.
Du He smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, why do you ask this? Of course there is no evidence at all, but there are some clues that prove that the woman is interested in the second wife, so she feels humiliated because of her respect."
Du Congze asked curiously: "Isn't this unlikely? It has been said that Li Ji's youngest daughter and the younger sister of the Fang family are handkerchiefs. No matter how greedy Fang Er is for beauty, he will not attack his sister's best friend, right? Besides, the outside world It is rumored that Fang Jun is not greedy for beauty, but he has the reputation of being a "good wife and sister". Huaigong is probably too sensitive."
"..."
Du He's face twitched violently, feeling that he could no longer chat.
Are you trying to say that Du Huaigong is simply chasing rumors and worrying about things, and that it’s me who should really be worried?
At this moment, Du Huaigong, who had just walked out of the door, shouted angrily: "What's going on?"
Du He and Du Cong were horrified. They subconsciously reached out and grabbed the horizontal knife on their side. They jumped up vigorously and chased them out of the tent door.
Seeing Du Huaigong standing in front of the door, Du He was about to ask what happened. When he opened his mouth, he saw a fire rising on the other side of the Chan River, illuminating the dark night. Countless soldiers fled in panic, and groups of cavalry followed. , the sound of fighting and crying could be heard from the river.
Only then did Du Huaigong wake up and shouted: "Gather the troops quickly and rush to the other side of the river for rescue... Oops!"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard by Du He, who glared at him and yelled angrily: "Idiot, are you crazy?"
Then he ordered the stunned military commanders around him: "Assemble the troops and guard the river. No soldier can leave the camp without my order!"
Du Congze followed up from behind, pulled Du Huaigong aside, and complained: "Don't you know what happened to the Yang family in Luoyang? Whether the murderer is Li Ji's subordinates or Fang Jun's subordinates, they are all powerful men, hiding and hiding. If you don’t, you still dare to charge forward? You’re going to die!”
Du Huaigong realized it later, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and looked at the other side of the river with trembling hands and feet.
The firelight illuminated the camp on the opposite bank brightly. The cavalry in black helmets and black armor chased Jingzhao Wei's private army like a chicken and a dog and slaughtered them wantonly. The horseshoes were clanging, and the swords were flying. The sharp sword light was hidden in the fire that rose to the sky. Blood splattered everywhere on the corpse, and its condition was too horrific to behold.
The Du family's private army did not dare to rescue them, so they could only look at each other across the river, and the two groups fought, praying to God and praying to Buddha, hoping that the demon-like cavalry would never come over...
Holding a horizontal knife in one hand, Du He looked across the river, swallowed hard, and said, "Fortunately, the target is not us."
Weishi and Dushi have always been in the same spirit, but this time they were coerced by Changsun Wuji to send troops to help each other, and they had many discussions with each other. It was impossible not to send troops. With Changsun Wuji's strength, he could create a "rebellion army" at the time of the mutiny, rush into the Weidu family's mansion, and massacre. However, even if they sent troops, the two families were unwilling to actually go to war against the East Palace, so they agreed to station their own private troops on both sides of the Chan River, leaning on each other and helping each other.
The destruction of the Luoyang Yang family's private army stationed in Yuxi means that the murderer did not give any reason at all. He just randomly selected a target based on the location of each private army stationed on the map, and whoever he picked was unlucky.
Obviously, the one drawn today is Webster's Private Army. If the murderer's finger is slightly tilted, it is undoubtedly the Du family that will be unlucky...
Du Huaigong was shocked and murmured: "It must not be the British army, it's Fang Jun, it must be Fang Jun!"
Du Congze asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Du Huaigong said: "If the murderer behind the scenes is that old man Li Ji, the one who raided today must be our Du family's private army in order to kill me in the army!"
Du He and Du Cong looked at each other.
This guy has probably suffered from "persecution paranoia", and he is determined to believe that Li Ji urgently wants to kill him and make his daughter a widow...
Du Congze pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't have to be Fang Jun. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just right to kill you in the army, and then live and fly with your wife, having fun together? From what I can see, Fang Jun is a sick man. A lot, but her character is still strong enough. This person is just a 'good wife and sister', so you don't have to be suspicious. ”
Du He on the side: "..."
Mother!
Can you die if you say less than a few words?
Originally, I had no such thoughts, but after you talked about it, I suddenly felt guilty...
……
On the other side of the Chan River, Wang Fang had his helmet pierced through his armor, a horse pole flying up and down in his hand, and his horse charging forward wildly. He took the lead and fiercely charged into the formation of Webster's private army. He was invincible to those who stood in his way, and he forced his way out of the way. One thousand cavalry faced five thousand private troops. Instead of showing any fear, they charged into the enemy formation like wolves and tigers, chopping melons and vegetables, leaving corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
Countless Webster's private troops howled and scurried about, unable to organize a counterattack. Those who were killed threw away their armor and fled in all directions. Some even jumped into the Chan River and swam towards the other side in a panic...
Wang Fangyi led his cavalry in a fierce charge, killed one of the Weishi barracks, and rushed straight to the bank of Chanshui. The Du family's private army on the other side instantly became nervous and stood ready, fearing that the other party would cross the river and cross the river, which would cause trouble.
Wang Fangyi rode his horse and stood on the bank of Chanshui River, looking far away towards the other bank.
It was dark at night, and all I could see were torches and figures everywhere on the opposite side. I couldn't see the array at all, so I reined in my horse, turned its head, and led my men to fight back the way they came.
Little did he know that he only stopped for a moment on the shore. On the other side, Du He, Du Huaigong, and Du Congze were already so frightened that they were trembling with fear. They were separated by a river but did not dare to breathe...
After killing one of Wei's private soldiers and burning the whole camp with fire, he led his soldiers southward along Chanshui River and headed straight to Zhongnan Mountain in a leisurely manner.
……
After a long time when the cavalry had disappeared into the darkness, Du He let out a long breath and ordered: "Go to the other side of the river, rescue the friendly troops, and report to Chang'an City at the same time."
After Du Congze heard this, he rowed to the other side with his soldiers. He took a breath when he saw the miserable Weishi Barracks. He secretly thought that it was a dangerous situation. Fortunately, he raided the Weishi Barracks at the right time. If this cavalry was greedy for credit, they would take advantage of the situation. Crossing the river, it's all over...
Just now when the enemy cavalry was ravaging Wei's barracks, Du's private army watched the fire across the river and remained calm, allowing the friendly troops to be slaughtered. Now that the enemy cavalry withdrew, Du's private army showed a "humanitarian spirit" and tried its best to deal with Wei. His private army rescued him.
However, the enemy cavalryman killed one of the Weishi barracks, and more than 30% of Weishi's private army was killed. The injured were everywhere, and there were countless people who fled. This private army of more than 5,000 people was completely defeated. Completely destroyed. Even for a powerful Guanzhong clan like Jingzhao Weishi, the destruction of five thousand private troops in one battle would be enough to break their bones. It is conceivable that the consequences will be ten times more shocking than the destruction of Yang's private army in Luoyang!
