Chapter 787 (1/2)
Step on it!
The Chinese army was surrounded by Zhang jaw and galloped forward. The outline of a city soon appeared in front of more than ten thousand troops. The flag on it had been taken away for a long time, and the city gates were open on all sides. However, the Liangzhou army around the city looked at the city gate from time to time, but did not dare to enter. The scene was quite funny.
”Zhennan general is coming, Zhennan general is coming!”
A burst of shouts broke out among the crowd, and more than ten thousand soldiers separated a road from it, as if the waves were splitting. Hundreds of riders were surrounded by a member of a well-dressed and powerful general, Zhang jaw.
Zhang jaw looked at Pingdu City from top to bottom. He saw that there was no one in the street above the city gate, and there was no sound in the city. It was like a ghost city. He could not help frowning.
Thinking for a while, Zhang jaw ordered: ”Huang Sima leads the soldiers to check. Once they meet the enemy, they will hang them immediately. Do you understand?”
A yellow surnamed Sima agreed to come down and rushed into the city with more than a thousand army horses. The Liangzhou army who entered the city was worried about the ambush of Yizhou army, so they were very careful. However, after entering the city from the gate of the city, they searched around and found no one.
Sima, surnamed Huang, frowned and simply ordered: ”knock on the door. If the Yizhou army in the city withdraws, the people close to the city gate must have noticed. Ask them.”
Two Liangzhou soldiers nodded and went forward, reaching out and pounding on the wooden door.
”Open the door, open the door!”
The people inside the door panicked and said, ”what are you doing?”
”We are Wang Shifu. If you have any questions, come out and answer.”
The wooden door could not withstand their two knocks. The people in the house had no choice but to move the top door timber and carefully poked out a head: ”I don't know what the two military masters want to ask?”
Sima, surnamed Huang, urged his horse to come forward and tried to squeeze out a kind smile. He was a native of Liangzhou. His appearance was coarse. His smile was more ugly than crying, which made the old man's face pale.
”Don't worry, old man. We are masters of the imperial court, and we are safe with the people.”
Huang Sima went straight to the theme: ”why is the gate of Pingdu so open? Where have all the soldiers and horses gone?”
”It turns out that the general asked about it.”
The old man cautiously said, ”the soldiers and horses in the city were still there yesterday. The old man heard some noise last night, and he didn't know what was going on. The soldiers and horses in the city left.”
”So it is...”
Huang Sima nodded and threw some five baht money to the old man. Naturally, he didn't dare to ask for it, but Huang Sima thrust it into his hand and held it tightly.
”As I said, we are masters of the king. Now that we take over the capital of Pingdu, the common people have only good and no harm. The old man takes money.”
After that, Huang Sima led the army out of the city and reported the matter to Zhang jaw truthfully.
”The soldiers and horses in Pingdu City have been withdrawn long ago?”
Thinking deeply, Zhang moved into Pingdu City that night, and sent people to inquire about the situation of Fuling City to the south of Pingdu City the next day.
Wu Bing is the commander of cavalry in Zhangxi army. Because the road to Sichuan is difficult and dangerous, the number of cavalry brought by Liu Ye is not large. However, the number of cavalry in Zhang jaw's army is only a few hundred. However, those who can be selected to enter Sichuan are all elite cavalry in Liangzhou, and Wu Bing is no exception.
