Chapter 377: Despair
Zhou Guangyi took his personal guard and headed straight for Xingling, but he was nervous. He knew that although he was now a member of the Anqing border army, he was an outlier in the entire Anqing border army system. His status was worse than that of Huo Zhenting and Park Demeng, and Yun Zhao did not believe in himself. ([] .)
As Suan Shu said before his death, he sold himself and the three thousand elite soldiers of the Jian family to Yun Zhao in exchange for simple survival, but Zhou Guangyi also knew that this was just a plan of rights and interests. Yun Zhao would never allow Suan to occupy Yizhou City for a long time. Suan Shu just won a buffer period for Suan, a chance to find a way out. But judging from the current situation, Suan Shu had no second way to go except to completely surrender to Yun Zhao.
Perhaps, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhou Guangyi's mind. If Yun Zhao was defeated by the Mongolian army, then maybe it would be simple to have another world. The Mongolian people still need a spokesperson in Yizhou. As soon as this idea appeared, Zhou Guangyi couldn't help but shudder. No matter when, he regarded the Mongolian people as an enemy. Now that Yun Zhao was fighting against the Mongolian Yuan, he supported him from the bottom of his heart. He was stationed in Xingling. He was also dedicated to his military preparations, ready to respond to Yun Zhao's recruitment at any time.
When he thought of this way out, would Qi be thinking like this? Zhou Guangyi was a little scared. He could quickly drive away this idea. Can Qi be? If Qi thought it was his only way out and put it into action, how could he handle it? If Yun Zhao knew about it, how would he deal with Qi?
He suddenly stopped the horses. Could it be that way? Otherwise, the enemy was in front of Juhuā Ridge, and Yun Zhao personally took Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion to fight Balutu. The initial battle was unfavorable and he was forced to retreat to Juhuā Ridge. At this time, how could the main general Yun Zhao suddenly return to Xingling? There is only one situation. That is, if something big happened in Yizhou, Yun Zhao had to return to Xingling to deal with it. Only when something big happened in Yizhou City, Yun Zhao would leave the troops that were fighting back.
When he thought of this, almost all the blood in Zhou Guangyi's body was frozen. He grabbed the horse's belly and hit the horse's thigh with a whip with his backhand, running towards Xingling like a flying.
Xingling Mansion. Yunhui General's Mansion.
Ma Yigong looked at Yun Zhao: "General, how will Zhou Guangyi face this matter?"
Yun Zhao chuckled and said, "No matter how he faces it, he has to admit this fact. First, simple is not what we kill. Second, simple is indeed connected with the Meng people. Third, although simple sin deserves to die, we avenge him and all the people who killed him died!"
"I'm afraid that Zhou Guangyi will admit his love, so he is like a brother in the narrative. He regards simple as his son and nephew. If simple death has nothing to do with us, General, do you think he will believe it?"
"It depends on how he chooses? First, he chooses to be an enemy of us, and his fate is self-evident. Second, he chooses to believe that from then on, we will completely naturalize our Anqing border army."
"What does the general think he will choose?"
"I won't know if he comes!" Yun Zhao said relaxedly.
Ma Yigong smiled, "So, General is confirming that Zhou Guangyi will choose to believe that we have nothing to do with it?"
After standing up and walking around the room for a few circles, Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I think Zhou Guangyi is different from the brief description of father and son. His idea is relatively simple. You can also see his performance in Anqingjun during this period. Maybe it is difficult for him to overcome this hurdle at the moment, but as long as he is given a legitimate reason, this kind of relationship will naturally fade over time, and by then, everything will be natural."
"But you call him back to Xingling at this time?"
"First, he should know this, and we must not hide it from him in this matter. Second, when the war with the Mongolians, I didn't want any accidents, so I transferred him back. No matter how he thought it, I think he was no longer suitable to participate in this battle. Maybe it's better to come back and recuperate and recover. Please clear this fact, he needs time!"
"I understand!" Ma Yigong said. This is the best way to separate Zhou Guangyi from the army first. In this way, no matter what Zhou Guangyi thinks, without the army, it is impossible to cause harm to the Anqing border army.
Yun Zhao smiled and nodded, "Maybe, what Zhou Guangyi wants to go to the most now is Yizhou City!"
The two smiled at each other.
Two days later, Zhou Guangyi appeared outside General Yunhui's mansion.
His eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his face was undoubtedly exhausted. When he jumped off the horse, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground. This was a sign of how tired he was for a general like him. There were only about ten people left with dozens of personal soldiers who accompanied him. The other people gave the horses to the people who were rushing to the road, and he pulled them behind him.
"General!" Seeing Zhou Guangyi almost fell down, more than ten personal soldiers, who were also extremely tired, rushed over.
"You guys, find a place to rest, take a shower, and have a good sleep!" Zhou Guangyi smiled hard and said, "I'll go see General Yun!"
"Yes, General!"
Standing outside General Yunhui's Mansion, Zhou Guangyi dug two handfuls of snow from the snow pile on the side of the road, wiped it hard on his face to make himself more energetic and also to make his mind clearer. After sorting out his armor, he strode towards General's Mansion.
"General Zhou!" The guard at the door bowed and saluted. General Yun has already given orders. As soon as General Zhou arrives, he will go in immediately, no need to inform him!"
"The general knows I'll be here today?"
The guard smiled, "Yes, General Yun said that he would be here today, General Zhou should be here today. Please, General Yun, Priest Guo, and Ma Zhanjun are all waiting for you in the lobby."
Zhou Guangyi's heart sank. It was not surprising that Yun Zhao and Ma Yigong were waiting for him, but Guo Changxing was there, that was not a simple military matter. The bad guess in his heart was confirming little by little. When he walked into the door and looked at the lobby not far away, his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he felt a little difficult to move.
Yun Zhao appeared at the door of the lobby, behind him, Guo Changxing and Ma Yigong stood, all three of them with heavy expressions.
"The General of the Mo has seen General Yun!" Zhou Guangyi gave a military salute. "The General of the Mo has been ordered to return to Xingling."
"Come in, General Zhou!" Yun Zhao nodded, turned around and walked back to the hall.
Without any falsehood, Yun Zhao was straightforward. "General Zhou, something big happened in Yizhou City."
Although he had expected it in his heart, Yun Zhao's words were still like a thunder hitting Zhou Guangyi's head. His face was a little pale and his voice was dry: "Simple, he, how is he?"
Ma Yigong looked at Zhou Guangyi and sighed: "Five days ago, we received news that the gentry clan of Yizhou planned an assassination and assassinated three generals under Jian's command in one fell swoop."
"How simple?" Zhou Guangyi asked again.
Ma Yigong sighed and said, "General Zhou, what else can you do? These gentry clans have such careful planning and launching so suddenly, and they can escape from the sky in a simple way. He is already dead!"
Zhou Guangyi shook his body, staggered back several steps, and almost fell down. The guards on both sides rushed over and supported him.
Zhou Guangyi stared at Yun Zhao, shook his arms, shook off the guard's hand, and hissed: "Can some local rich men plot to a simple plot?"
Hearing his bad tone, the guards on both sides touched the hilt of the knife. Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, "Get back!"
Facing Zhou Guangyi's gaze, Yun Zhao walked to him, "General Zhou, are these people in Yizhou City rich people? I believe you know more than me. But what I want to say is that you must also know what you did in Yizhou City. He did too much and forced these people to a dead end. You must also know how much energy the desperate blow of these people can be!"
Zhou Guangyi faced Yun Zhao's gaze, "So, General Yun also thinks it's simple and damn?"
Yun Zhao smiled coldly, "As a sworn brother who is briefly sworn brother, I can tolerate simple behavior. This is also the reason why I let him stay in Yizhou City, but he disappointed me. If you do evil in heaven, you can still live, but if you do evil in yourself, you can't live. General Zhou, what do you think?"
"Brother?" Zhou Guangyi seemed to cry and laugh, and formed several circles on the spot, walking out like a sleepwalking.
"General Zhou, three days ago, I had mobilized 3,000 soldiers from Gaoyang Training Camp to Yizhou City. The chaos there was basically controlled. However, simply waiting for the death of the generals in command, the Jian family army lost control, and the entire Yizhou City suffered heavy losses. If you are willing to go to Yizhou City, go and have a look? Park Demeng and Wang Gui are there, they will introduce you to the specific situation!" Looking at Zhou Guangyi's back, Yun Zhao said loudly.
Zhou Guangyi paused slightly and continued to walk forward, but his originally upright back seemed a little hunched at this moment.
"General Yun, just let him leave like this?" Guo Changxing was a little nervous.
Ma Yigong said: "Mr. Guo doesn't have to worry. I have made arrangements. If Zhou Guangyi goes to Yizhou, then let him go. If he wants to return to Xingling, he will never have to go back."
He walked out of the General's Mansion in a daze. The cold air blew, and Zhou Guangyi shivered. Outside the door, his guards obviously did not expect that they would walk out of the General Yunhui Mansion so soon, and there was not a single one here. Obviously, they were looking for a place to sleep. After several days of sleepless travel, their physical strength had reached its limit.
Holding the huge stone lion outside the mansion, Zhou Guangyi sat down slowly weakly and leaned on the base of the stone lion. Two lines of old tears slid down. What Yun Zhao said was true or false, Zhou Guangyi could not judge. He knew some of the simple things he did in Yizhou City, and had also believed and persuaded him, so the effect was not good. Therefore, Yun Zhao did not lie in this regard, but it would be absolutely impossible to say that Yun Zhao was murdering in this murder operation. Although those rich and powerful families had huge energy, it was simply a Tianfang Night Pond.
What should I do? Zhou Guangyi looked up at the gray sky in despair. (To be continued.
