Lingnan Gang

"General Zhou will be coming soon." Su Beiqin said slowly.

Wu Weiyang on the side was eating and drinking. He thought it was troublesome to hold chopsticks, so he just grabbed them with his hands. Looking at him, he wished he could stuff the plate into his stomach. Hearing Su Beiqin's words, he responded vaguely with puffy cheeks. With a sound, the movement of the hands still did not stop.

Su Beiqin moved his dark eyes and gouged him out, "Although he is a defeated general, if you want to use him, you must give him at least respect."

Wu Weiyang's round eyes were full of grievances, he threw the half-gnawed chicken leg on the empty plate, and said dissatisfied: "Last night, I spent a night in the city with that old man Zhou Guangcheng, and I was not allowed to come back to fill my stomach. He is over half a hundred years old, he is useless with a battle axe, and he lost to me in just a few rounds, who wants to use such a general."

Su Beiqin poured him a glass of water and said: "A good knife is rusted, and it only needs to be polished to restore its original edge. This is less time and energy than selecting raw materials and then casting them. Many, the easy life has worn out the spirit of the general, as long as he is put in the flames of war again, he will soon be able to restore his previous heroic appearance."

Wu Weiyang took a big sip of water before swallowing what was in his mouth. He raised his sleeve and wiped the oil stains around his mouth, and smiled flatteringly: "What you say is true, I will listen to what you say."

He said that he is good at changing his face when he changes his face. Su Beiqin can't figure it out for him. After all, Su Beiqin has not forgotten his cruelty back then.

Wu Weiyang didn't notice the change of Su Beiqin's mood at this time. He stretched himself. The mink fur pad under his buttocks was very comfortable. He didn't close his eyes all night and wanted to take a nap when he was free. His greasy fingers were about to hold The end of the chicken leg, he heard a sound outside, he retracted his hands into his sleeves in frustration, and stared at the door bored.

Qin Han stepped in first, and reported: "General Zhou is here."

One night's hard work failed to defend the city of Guangzhou, and Zhou Guangcheng, who had fought for decades as a prisoner, had never received such treatment. He seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. He stared sharply at the person in front of him.

Zhou Guangcheng hadn't seen Wu Weiyang's face clearly at the city gate before, and the firelight last night only allowed him to get a rough look. He only felt that the enemy general was very young. When he saw it today, he was shocked. He looks seven or eight years old, but the way he leads his troops is as sophisticated as a veteran who has been fighting for many years, which is really not easy.

Su Beiqin had someone untie Zhou Guangcheng, and made a gesture of invitation, "General Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Guangcheng took a look at him, and he was actually very young. Different from the general's casual image, this young man looked very refined and polite. Could it be that the elegantly worded letter of war he received before was from him?After a few rounds of twists and turns in his heart, Zhou Guangcheng's expression did not change. He straightened his crumpled clothes and calmly walked to his seat and sat down, as if he was still the owner of this city of Guangzhou.

"Under Subei Qin, this is General Wu Weiyang." Su Beiqin introduced him modestly and politely.

Zhou Guangcheng had never heard of Wu Weiyang's name, but he was somewhat familiar with Su Beiqin. He quickly recalled the names of the court ministers in his mind, and asked, "What is your relationship with Taifu Su?"

"Teacher Su is my father." Su Beiqin replied.

"Didn't Taifu Su's only son die of illness on the way to Qiongzhou?" Zhou Guangcheng wondered. This incident was quite a big deal back then, and Taifu Su stayed behind closed doors and never interacted with people in the court. This thing is still a bit of an impression.

"Almost died," Su Beiqin said with a slight smile, "Yuemo's horoscope is too hard, and he survived a poor life."

Zhou Guangcheng put away his acquaintance just now, and snorted coldly, "Your ancestors have been loyal to the imperial court for generations, your father is the emperor's teacher today, and you are also an official of the imperial court, but now you are rebelling with a group of bandits, which is simply discrediting the Su family."

"It's all about being loyal to the imperial court. It doesn't matter who sits on the throne. When I sit on the throne, he will be loyal to me. The Su family will still be the same Su family that has been loyal for generations." Wu Weiyang said lazily.

"Yellow-mouthed boy, the tone is not small, but after winning a battle, he tried to reach the sky in one step." Zhou Guangcheng deliberately suppressed the anger in his chest, and couldn't help but clenched his hand holding the handrail.

Wu Weiyang yawned, looking listless, "The terrain of Guangzhou City should be one of the most difficult cities to capture, plus you, although you are my defeated general, you are one of the few talented men under Tang Zelin. General, the right time, the right place, the right people, and you have all taken advantage of it, but I took your city and captured your ten thousand elite soldiers in only five days, so one can imagine how boring the rest of the journey will be."

"You..." Zhou Guangcheng was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, he could only stare at Wu Weiyang, wishing to tear him to pieces.

Su Beiqin sighed silently in his heart, asking Wu Weiyang to participate in the negotiation with Zhou Guangcheng would simply increase the difficulty of recruiting talents, this guy looks down on those who lost to him from the bottom of his heart, no... he actually looks down on anyone, arrogant and conceited To a certain extent, it has been irreversible.

He gave Wu Weiyang a nonchalant glance, and said, "Weiyang speaks abruptly, General Zhou, please don't blame him. As Weiyang said, Northern Qin's allegiance is to the people of the world, not to the monarch, and now the emperor favors the treacherous prime minister." , recklessly killing loyal officials in the court, turning a blind eye to disasters in various places, and ceding two cities to the barbaric tribes, how can General Zhou tolerate it?"

Zhou Guangcheng held his head up, his face was much calmer than before, "The Lord has his own intentions for doing this, and we servants only need to obey the will."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Wu Weiyang patted Su Beiqin on the shoulder, and teased, "I thought you were the most pedantic person I've ever met, but I didn't expect my knowledge to be too shallow."

Seeing Zhou Guangcheng's complexion turn livid again, Su Beiqin let out a long sigh, Wu Weiyang was not helping, Su Beiqin, who was good at words, didn't know how to answer the words for a while, so he could only drink his saliva sullenly.

Wu Weiyang laughed again. Seeing that Su Beiqin didn't even want to stare at him anymore, he immediately realized his mistakes in behavior. He coughed twice, put away his playful attitude, and said to Zhou Guangcheng: " When my father was still alive, he once told me that Zhou Guangcheng is upright, a rare person with both ability and virtue, if you want to hire someone in the future, he must be the first choice, hey, now why do I feel that my father is cheating on me."

Zhou Guangcheng actually looked familiar to Wu Weiyang, but he couldn't remember where he met him. Hearing what he said, he asked along the way: "Who is your father?"

Wu Weiyang bent the corner of his mouth and said, "Ding'an King Tang Hao."

Zhou Guangcheng's rock-steady body finally couldn't stop trembling. He looked at Wu Weiyang seriously, and he was indeed very similar to the young King Ding'an. Besides, this unexpected way of using troops was also somewhat similar to King Ding'an.

King Ding'an and Zhou Guangcheng were old friends. They galloped together on the battlefield back then, and admired King Ding'an's talent very much. After King Ding'an passed away, his only son Tang Zewu was sent to the military camp. My cousin was dispatched to Lingnan on trumped-up charges. At that time, Zhou Guangcheng was stationed at the frontier. He rushed back immediately after hearing the news, but it was too late. After that, there was no news of him. Zhou Guangcheng thought he was about to die. I feel guilty for not protecting the heir of my old friend.

Seeing that there was no movement from him, Wu Weiyang said again: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the back hall and ask Mr. Zhuang Chuzhuang who is drinking tea."

Zhou Guangcheng was startled, and said, "Mr. Zhuang is here too?"

Wu Weiyang smiled and said: "He thinks drinking alone is boring, why don't you go and accompany him?"

Zhou Guangcheng paused for a moment, then finally nodded, Wu Weiyang asked Qin Han to take Zhou Guangcheng to find Zhuang Chu. According to the previous friendship between Zhuang Chu and Zhou Guangcheng, Zhou Guangcheng, a fierce general, was finally obtained.

"It's done." Wu Weiyang approached Su Beiqin flatteringly.

Su Beiqin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned back on the back of the chair, pressed his stiff shoulders and said, "It turns out that you are hiding something. You and Mr. Zhuang kept me in the dark."

Wu Weiyang immediately got off the comfortable mink fur pad and pressed Su Beiqin's shoulders, and felt Su Beiqin's collarbone through two pieces of clothing. The ground was too tight to see anything, he curled his lips in disappointment, and said: "I knew before that he had some friendship with my father, so I mentioned that my father would give it a try, but I wasn't sure. I didn't expect him to be so quick It's all over."

Wu Weiyang's strength was just right, Su Beiqin also stayed up all night, and after relaxing his body, he felt drowsy. He rubbed the corners of his eyes lightly, stood up and said, "I'll go and see the newly seized supplies and wounded."

Wu Weiyang blocked the door and said: "Go and rest first, it won't be too late to look at those things in a few hours, if you fall down, I won't be in the mood to fight this battle."

Su Beiqin narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of displeasure in his dark eyes, "Don't say your childish words in the future."

Wu Weiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "If you go to rest now, I won't say that."

Su Beiqin couldn't help it, and walked obediently to the back hall. They had just occupied the yamen in the city, and only cleaned up two rooms for people to rest. One was occupied by Zhuang Chu, and the other was reserved for Su Beiqin. Wu Weiyang now has a legitimate reason to sleep with Su Beiqin, and when he thinks of the time they shared the same bed tonight, the corners of Wu Weiyang's mouth can't help but curl up.
