PS: Thanks to book friend He Cheng for promising the reward.
As soon as the people left, Wei Weicheng's soldiers said: "General, my subordinates will make arrangements for them to leave a few cannons and some baggage that slows down the speed."
"Who asked you to go!" Wei Weicheng glanced at the other party.
The soldier said hesitantly: "Didn't the person sent by the general just ask us to speed up our march? General, didn't you agree?"
"If you don't have artillery, what are you going to do with the traitors? Give me the order. No baggage is allowed to be left behind. You have to carry it all with you. If anyone dares to leave the baggage without permission, I will punish him." Wei Weicheng said loudly.
The soldiers were confused and couldn't understand what Wei Weicheng was doing.
If you really want to reinforce Yinzhou Pass, you should leave your luggage and hurry up. If you don't want to reinforce Yinzhou Pass, you can find a reason not to go.
As a private soldier, he would naturally not go against the general's wishes, and would not say anything like leaving behind the baggage.
Before several people sent by the General Military Mansion to deliver the order had gone too far, one of them said to the leader: "Something is wrong! Why didn't General Wei leave the baggage behind and instead marched with it?"
"Did you see clearly?" The leader pulled the reins, controlled the horse to stop, turned the horse's head and looked in the direction of the army behind him.
The man on the side said: "You are absolutely right. If you don't believe it, you can see that the general cannons at the end of the team are not left behind at all. They are still on their way with them."
Because several general cannons were too cumbersome, there were special people at the back of the team pulling mules and horses.
"Damn it, they didn't know that with so much heavy baggage, they couldn't get to Yinzhou Pass before the bandits." The leader's face became very ugly.
Wei Weicheng's doing this was tantamount to openly disobeying the orders of the General Military Mansion.
"Should we go over and watch with our own eyes as they abandon all their baggage and return to Yulin City?" The people on the side asked tentatively.
The leader shook his head with a dark face and said: "It's useless. Since Wei Weicheng dares to do this, he doesn't take people like you and me seriously. It's useless even if we go back and stare at him."
"Then don't care?" the person next to him asked hesitantly.
The leader glanced at the army that had walked not far away, and said coldly: "Let's go back to the General Military Mansion."
After speaking, he turned the horse's head and urged the war horse to leave.
Several people on the side also followed him on horseback and galloped towards Yulin City.
Wei Weicheng led the army and did not go far. Several people quickly returned to the General Military Mansion in Yulin City on horseback.
"General, Wei Weicheng did not leave behind the baggage as you wished, General. I am afraid that the march in one day will only be more than twenty miles at most."
As soon as he came back, he immediately came to Wu Zimian to complain.
"This damn thing, he is not afraid of thieves breaking through Yinzhou Pass." When Wu Zimian heard that Wei Weicheng disobeyed the general's order from the General Military Mansion, he cursed angrily, and turned to the soldiers on the side and said, "Go and get Vice President Li Invite the soldiers and hurry."
Wei Weicheng was the deputy commander-in-chief. His general orders from the commander-in-chief didn't work, so he had to ask Li Kaiyang, the deputy commander-in-chief, to step in.
The soldiers left quickly. valley
Not long after, Li Kaiyang was taken by the soldiers to the hall where Wu Zimian was hosting a banquet.
"The general is so anxious to send people to look for me. Could it be that there is something going on at Yinzhou Pass?" Li Kaiyang entered the room and took the lead in asking Wu Zimian.
Wu Zimian stepped forward with a serious face and sighed: "I suddenly felt that sending Wei Weicheng to reinforce Yinzhou Pass might be a wrong decision."
"What does Mr. Wu mean by this?" Li Kaiyang suppressed the panic in his heart.
Usually they are on a par with each other, but as long as Wu Zimian calls himself a general, he knows that the other party must say something important.
Wu Zimian glanced at him and said: "Wei Weicheng can only march twenty or thirty miles a day. At this speed, it is very likely that we will not be able to reach Yinzhou Pass before Mizhi's army of thieves. I am worried that I will miss the big event." .”
"This is a simple matter. Let the General Military Mansion send someone to urge you. You can leave all the baggage behind and rush to Yinzhou Pass with only one or two days of rations. The baggage can be delivered later." Li Kaiyang secretly relaxed. Take a breath.
Seeing how serious Wu Zimian was before, I almost thought that the matter between him and Hu Ziqi was exposed.
Wu Zimian said with a bad expression: "The General Military Mansion has sent people to urge him to hurry up, but he still goes his own way and turns a deaf ear to the orders of the General Military Mansion."
As he said that, he glanced at Li Kaiyang again.
"Could it be that the people below made a mistake? No matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to openly disobey the orders of the General Military Mansion." Li Kaiyang began to make excuses for Wei Weicheng.
Wu Zimian said: "My people have just come back, so I can't be wrong, so I invited Deputy General Li over, hoping that Deputy General Li could come forward and talk about Wei Weicheng."
"He dares to disobey the orders of the General Military Mansion. The words of me, a deputy general, are even more understated. General Wu brought me here. I'm afraid he worshiped the wrong Buddha." Li Kaiyang shook his head and rejected Wu Zimian.
He had no intention of intervening in Wei Weicheng's matter.
Wu Zimian personally brought the tea brought by his servants to Li Kaiyang and said: "At this time, Deputy General Li, you must not let go. Once Yinzhou Pass falls, Yulin City will be in danger."
"Even the General Military Mansion can't control him, and I, a deputy general who is waiting to join, can't speak to him. Commander Wu is looking for the wrong person when he comes to me. It's better to send someone to urge him, or else go to Yinzhou with someone else. It's okay to close it." Li Kaiyang shook his head like a rattle, showing no intention of taking care of it.
Wu Zimian's mouth twitched and he said with a dry smile: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li, I will definitely intercede with the court for you regarding your stay in Shanxi. Our Yansui Town cannot be without you as Deputy Commander-in-Chief."
He thought that Li Kaiyang was worried about being held accountable by the court for his defeat in Shanxi, so he was unwilling to intervene in Wei Weicheng's affairs.
"I appreciate General Wu's kindness." Li Kaiyang clasped his fists and said, "Since I led the troops to defeat in Shanxi, I will happily accept it no matter how the court handles it."
He no longer cares whether or how the court wants to punish the crime.
Seeing that Li Kaiyang was not getting enough food and salt, Wu Zimian frowned and said: "It has been so long and the court has not sent any orders. It must be that the court also knows about Deputy Commander Li's difficulties, and maybe he has no plans to do so." I've been punished, so Deputy General Li doesn't have to worry too much."
"If Xing Youwei and Guan Ning's 50,000-strong army had not been defeated in Xuanfu, and there had been another Wang Er rebellion in Shaanxi, the imperial court would have issued a decree to punish me for my crime. Maybe I would have been put into a prison car and sent to the prison by now. Entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Li Kaiyang stared at Wu Zimian with half-smiling eyes.
The embarrassment flashed across Wu Zimian's face.
He was responsible for Li Kaiyang's defeat in Shanxi. If Wang Er hadn't rebelled, he would have been the commander-in-chief who led the army in Shanxi. It can be said that Li Kaiyang took the blame for him.
