Chapter 94 Weiss
Just as the generals were watching the argument in Zhou Feng's Dazhai Hall, a flying army scout entered and reported:
"Reporting to the canal, a house of men came down from the mountain, saying they were the envoys of Langya Zangjie."
When everyone heard this, they all made a noise and asked him to come up and see if he could speak peaceably.
Zhang Chong nodded, and the scout immediately went down the mountain and reported to the patrol to let the envoy go up the mountain.
After a long while, a tall scribe with a handsome appearance and sharp appearance followed Xun Ben into the hall. Everyone looked at his appearance and temperament with contempt.
Wu Guan, Yang Mao and other old men sighed that this gentleman was really young.
Duman, Xie Bi, Xi Shen, etc. all lamented the true splendor of this king.
But Heifu, Li Damu, Cai Que and other black men lamented that this man was really white.
Only Tian Jun sighed, this man is really tall.
After this person entered the hall, he first took a look at Zhang Chong who was sitting in the hall, and was slightly stunned. Then he saw General Bian sitting in the hall full of people kneeling, and nodded slightly.
Just when everyone thought he was going to praise him, he pointed at the hall and sneered:
"This is a humble house that can be used as a stable."
Everyone was stunned, what was he talking about?
Then the tall messenger pointed to the iron wok standing in the fire pit in the hall and sneered:
"This broken wok can be used to cast several iron plowshares."
Zhang Chong joked in his heart when he saw that the envoy was getting ready as soon as he arrived, so he agreed:
"This is how King Zhang Bu of Qi destroyed the cast iron with some history."
When the envoy heard that this was Zhang Bu's iron wok, he was stunned. He couldn't help but stepped forward and touched the iron wok. Hey, it was hot.
A big blister immediately appeared on his hand. He retracted his hand and replied as if nothing had happened:
"You can't even protect your neck, but you still love the wok, it's my generation."
As soon as these words came out, the generals were in an uproar.
What kind of madman dares to commit such a death? Especially the fierce ones like Ding Sheng and Hei Fu had already smashed their cups at the envoy.
If the knife had not been removed when entering the hall, the knife would have been drawn out by now.
This man was hit by a cup, and the corners of his mouth were painful, but he still pretended to be majestic and looked like he was begging for death.
Although the other generals were not as aggressive as Ding Sheng and Hei Fu, they also stood up and asked Zhang Chong to drag this man down and kill him to relieve his hatred. There was a moment of intense public sentiment.
This is how it is in this era, the master humiliates his ministers and dies. This person humiliated Zhang Chong and truly offended the generals.
When the envoy saw that all these warriors said they would kill him, he was frightened. But when he thought about what Zang Ba said to him before going up the mountain, he felt even more bitter. That's all. If you die, your ears will be dead. Didn't you know it when you came?
After reading this, the man closed his eyes and refused to refute.
Zhang Chong watched this man at the head of the table and found it very funny. Although he didn't know why this person said these words, he could tell at a glance from his pretentious arrogance that this person came to seek death.
As for what this person scolded him, Zhang Chong didn't mind at all. Is this considered an insult? In later generations, swearing on the Internet was much dirtier than this, and Zhang Chong had long since developed the ability to do it in spite of himself, with the spring breeze blowing in his face.
He looked at the man with his eyes closed and waited for death, and suddenly asked:
"Jun, how tall are you?"
The man was stunned and couldn't figure out what General Shi meant, but he still told the truth:
"Eight feet three inches."
"Great husband!"
Tian Jun, who was kneeling below, felt less sad after hearing this. He looked around at his colleagues and said in his heart: "Everyone is short now."
Of course, no one on the field cared that Tian Jun was rejoicing alone. They all looked at Zhang Chong and waited for him to kill him before dragging him down and chopping him to death.
Zhang Chong continued to ask this person:
"I see you are a decent person, how can you be a lobbyist for people like Zang Jie."
The envoy was astute. Knowing that Zhang Chong had not executed him for so long, he knew that General Shi had no murderous intention towards him. I feel happy and sad at the same time.
He was asked by Zhang Chong and sighed:
"My family is also a family of officials. My great-great-grandfather also served as the Prime Minister of Langya. After that, my family moved from Chen Guoyangxia to Langya. But then my family fell into decline and no one was an official for several generations, so I worked hard in the fields of Dongguan with my clan members. Some time ago, Langya bandits invaded our territory, destroyed my house, plundered my grain storage, and captured my people. I thought I was going to die, but the leader of the bandits, a man named Zang Ba, asked me to envoy Taishan and insulted General Shi. Don’t be afraid of death. If I die, my wife, children and people in my family will live.”
After saying this, the man burst into tears, fell on the ground, and cried:
"Please General Shi, please kill me and save my relatives."
It turns out that this is the case. After hearing this, the generals suddenly felt that this man was quite pitiful on the one hand, and how stupid he was on the other hand.
If I kill you, won’t your clan’s life and death still depend on others’ thoughts? If Zang Ba is still killed, wouldn’t your death be in vain?
Zhang Chong, who was at the head, also sighed, came down to help the man up, and said warmly:
"How do I address you?"
The messenger was moved and worshiped:
"The servant is so miserable that he is defeated by the dog. It is not enough to make the general break his neck. Why is the servant's surname Kui? It is an insulting name to make everyone laugh."
Zhang Chong helped him to his seat and said with a smile:
"If your name is mean, my surname is Zhang Mingchong. Isn't it even meaner? But I am a filthy person, and I am not seen by clean people. He Jun, I have a plan, I don't know if it can relieve your troubles."
< br>
He Kui immediately stood up, not even daring to say that he wanted to hear it.
Zhang Chong shook his clothes and advised:
"He Jun, you are an upright gentleman. That Zang Ba is just bullying you. He said that if you die, your people will live. But in my opinion, only if you live can your people live. You see, it's better to do this. Jun and I hit it off, Why don't you hide in my place first? I will attack the thieves soon and I will reunite your family."
He Kui was a smart man, but because he loved his wife and children too much, he lost his temper. At this moment, Zhang Chong warmly reminded him, and he woke up as if from a dream.
With General Shi protecting him, Zang Ba would just treat him as dead. If Zang Ba originally wanted to let his relatives go, it would be just right. After he hides for a period of time, he can reunite with them. And if that Zang Ba had no intention of letting go of his relatives, then he would be useful to avenge this blood feud.
He Kui thought about this and stood up again to worship Zhang Chong:
"Fu is grateful for the general's great kindness. If the whole clan can avenge this, they will tie a ring with grass in their hands to repay the king's kindness."
This was what Zhang Chong was waiting for. He laughed loudly, grabbed He Kui's sleeve, came down with him, and introduced the generals to him one by one.
The generals in the congregation were also relieved, knowing that He Kui's previous behavior was also forced by Zang Ba, so they all greeted him. The atmosphere was enthusiastic for a while.
When Duman saw that the atmosphere was about to get better, he bowed to He Kui and asked:
"He Jun, you are in Zang camp, could you please tell me what is true of Zang and his son?"
When He Kui saw that Du Man was sitting in the seat, he knew that he was an important figure in the Shi Family Army, so he quickly got up and paid his respects:
"I should not ask you for advice. I have only been in Zang camp for a short period of time, so I don't know much about it, but I can tell you everything."
Then He Kui told Zhang Chong and Duman what he saw in Zang's camp.
For example, how many leading thieves there are in the force, whether the troops are in order, whether the clothes, armor and equipment are complete, and whether the food, fodder and baggage are sufficient. This lecture only lasts three moments.
The generals were immediately impressed by He Kui. Do you really not know much about this?
