Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1814 Where is General Wang

When General Wang and the surviving officers and soldiers under his command scrambled to express their allegiance to the Japanese pirates, and were willing to cooperate with the Japanese pirates to cheat the city, in order to survive, the Suzhou prefect still held a letter of flying pigeons, and under the protection of all the officers and soldiers, he rode his horse and raised his whip. Along the broad road of the city wall, they galloped all the way to the east gate city.

   "Where is General Wang, where is General Wang?" After arriving at the East Gate City, Shang Zhifu hurriedly got off his horse and shouted loudly.

   "Fu Zun, General Wang" the lieutenant general's eyes were a little dodgy, and he hesitated to speak.

   "General Wang is injured? Or is it unfortunate."

  Seeing the appearance of the deputy general, Shang Zhifu thought that something had happened to General Wang, so he couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and asked nervously.

  Although General Wang has various deficiencies, General Wang is one of the few generals in the city who is crippled.

   "No, my lord, General Wang is not injured." The deputy general shook his head, still hesitating to speak.

"Oh, it's good that General Wang is fine. I just repelled the Japanese pirates. I am tired. Resting and eating are all normal. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Take me to find General Wang." Shang Zhifu heard General Wang He was not injured, so he thought that General Wang was eating or catching up on sleep, so he asked the deputy general to take him to find General Wang.

   "Ahem, Fu Zun, I won't be able to find General Wang here." The deputy general replied softly, considering his words.

   "Can't find it? What do you mean by that? Did General Wang go to the city to find a woman to have fun and relax?"

  Shang Zhifu frowned slightly. Although the defenders of the city had done a lot to fight off the Japanese pirates, they should not be so anxious to find a woman. At least it would not be too late to find a woman after the Japanese pirates retreated completely and left the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture.

   "Ahem, my lord, General Wang didn't go to the city to find a woman, he, he." The lieutenant shook his head and hesitated.

   "Enough, I don't have time to guess riddles here, tell me where General Wang is, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

  Shang Zhifu became impatient, and felt that something was wrong. He looked at the lieutenant with burning eyes, and asked unceremoniously.

   "Hui Fu Zun Sir, General Wang, he led a thousand soldiers out of the city to chase after the Japanese pirates after we defeated them."

  The deputy general didn't dare to hide any more, bowed his head and cupped his fists to salute Shang Zhifu, and told the whole story about General Wang going out of the city to chase down the Japanese pirates.

   "What?! General Wang went out of the city to chase down Japanese pirates?!"

   Shang Zhifu heard the words as if hit by an arrow, his body staggered, and his face turned pale instantly.

   "Fu Zun, Fu Zun, what's wrong with you? But you are not feeling well?" The lieutenant groaned, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Shang Zhifu.

   "Why did General Wang go out of the city to chase after the Japanese pirates?! Didn't this official repeatedly tell me not to go out of the city to chase after the Japanese pirates?!"

  Shang Zhifu was on the spot like a headless fly, pacing and turning around several times, and then asked the lieutenant again and again in annoyance.

"Your Majesty, General Wang wants to leave the city, and the last general persuades him again and again, but General Wang says that the general will not accept the emperor's order outside. The opportunity for battle is fleeting, and the last general is humble. Why?"

  The lieutenant general explained with an aggrieved face that he felt like a mouse in a bellows at the moment, unable to bear the endless splint gas.

"Hey, this is bad! Zhu Ping'an and Mr. Zhu have heard the legend of flying pigeons. It has been found out that the pirates outside the city have searched the people hiding outside the city for the past two days, shaved their hair into Japanese pirate hairstyles, and put them on Japanese pirate clothes. Forcing them to attack the city and die, in order to make us misjudge the strength of the Japanese pirates, mistakenly think that they are vulnerable, and lure us out of the city to pursue them. General Wang led his troops out of the city to pursue them, and fell into the tricks of the Japanese pirates."

  Shang Zhifu was like ants on a hot pot, circling around the city wall, angry, panicked and worried.

"what?!"

  After hearing Shang Zhifu's words, the deputy general also panicked.

   No wonder I always feel that the Japanese pirates are so weak. It turns out that the people who attacked the city were ordinary people who were captured and persecuted by the Japanese pirates.

   This makes sense, why the Japanese pirates are so weak, why the Japanese pirates are so incompetent in military affairs, so it is!

   Doesn't that mean the general is in danger? ! Wouldn't it be dangerous for the thousand soldiers who followed the general out of the city to chase down the Japanese pirates? !

  The lieutenant general's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why Fu Zun was so panicked just now.

   "My lord, what should we do now?" the lieutenant asked in disbelief.

   "What else can I do, close the city gate, and don't open the city gate unless I speak! No matter who comes, you are not allowed to open the door, do you understand?!" Shang Zhifu ordered the lieutenant general with a serious face.

   "Fu Zun, what if General Wang is here?" The deputy general asked hesitantly.

   "I just said, no matter who it is! You have to wait for the official to speak before you can open the city gate. General Wang is no exception! Now, do you remember?!"

  Shang Zhifu patted the lieutenant on the shoulder vigorously, and emphasized again in a stern voice.

"Yes, the last general understands that no matter who it is, he must report to the lord of the mansion. The mansion lord orders the city gate to be opened, and the last general will open the city gate. Otherwise, no matter who it is or under any circumstances, the last general will not open it." city ​​gate."

  The deputy general understood Shang Zhifu's meaning thoroughly this time, and nodded vigorously, expressing his position to Shang Zhifu.

"Very well, I will order a group of reinforcements to come over. I will leave the east gate to you for the time being. Don't disappoint me! I will go to inspect the other two gates. If there are no problems with the other gates, I will come back and sit in the east gate." Door."

  Shang Zhifu nodded in satisfaction, told the lieutenant general, got on his horse, and led people to patrol the other city gates non-stop.

  General Dongmen Wang led troops out of the city to chase down Japanese pirates, what about the North Gate and Northwest Gate? ! But don't let anyone go out of the city to chase Japanese pirates like General Wang!

Shangzhifu galloped all the way on the city wall and rushed to the north gate. Fortunately, no one went out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates. Shangzhifu passed Zhu Pingan's flying pigeons to the north gate defenders, warning them that the Japanese pirates lured the defenders out of the city to pursue them. He sternly warned them that without his order, it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates. No matter who violates it, they will be punished severely for the crime of disobeying military orders.

  Then, Shang Zhifu rushed to the northwest gate again, but fortunately, no one went out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates at the northwest gate.

  Prefect Shang heaved a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the East Gate, Prefect Shang couldn't help feeling nervous.

   Urgently coordinated 1,000 soldiers and 500 young men from the city, the north gate, and the northwest gate to help the east gate.

  Shang Zhifu also personally went to the East Gate to suppress the battle, and brought a group of officials who knew military affairs to help him.

  When Shang Zhifu rushed to the east gate city, he heard a sudden commotion from the officers and soldiers on the city wall mountain, pointing their fingers in the distance.
