Chapter 230: First Level
When they arrived at Anfeng City, they saw that the gates of Anfeng City were still closed, but there were torches burning on top of the city. Cao Liang saw that Wang Ji was still guarding the top of the city, so Cao Liang said: "Prefect Wang, I'm here
We arrived as promised, and I think Wang Taishou had witnessed the repulse of the Wu army just now. As for the enemy general’s head, I also asked Wang Taishou to see it.”
Cao Liang took the bloody cloth bag from Ren Lan's hand, raised it high above his head, and showed it to Wang Ji.
Wang Ji saw the scene where the Xiaoqi battalion defeated the Wu army just now was indeed very real, but he did not expect that Cao Liang would actually deliver the enemy general's head as promised, which made him feel a little incredible.
On the battlefield, it is normal to defeat and repel the enemy. As long as you have enough strength, you can do it. However, killing enemy generals, especially the enemy's chief general, is generally not that easy. Unless you have the skills
In addition to absolute strength, you also need a little bit of luck. You must know that there were so many wars in the Three Kingdoms era, and there were only a handful of successful examples of killing enemy generals.
Wang Ji didn't believe that Cao Liang was really so lucky. He was able to kill a general of the Wu army despite being so dark. He suspected that Cao Liang had randomly found someone on the battlefield to make up the numbers, but their performance today
They were indeed outstanding enough, and Wang Ji no longer suspected that they were Wu people's spies.
"Whose head is this?" Wang Ji asked casually.
Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Prefect Wang only needs to check it himself. Wouldn't it be clear?"
A basket was hung on the city. Cao Liang put the cloth bag into the basket. The soldiers on the city immediately lifted the basket, took out the cloth bag and presented it to Wang Ji.
Wang Ji ordered someone to open the cloth bag, and a human head immediately appeared. Everyone present had experienced battlefield killings, so naturally there was no fear. Everyone gathered around and used the torches to hold their heads.
They all wanted to see whose head this was.
Although Zhuge Jin did not know Wang Ji, as the governor of a border county, how could he not know something about the enemy's general?
Wei officials once sent detailed portraits of Wu's military and political leaders and distributed them to officials and generals in border counties so that they could understand their opponents.
Therefore, Wang Ji has never seen Zhuge Jin in person, but he has still seen his portrait.
The human head in front of me is undoubtedly familiar to Zhuge Jin's portrait. Could it be said that he is really Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu State?
Wang Ji was shocked and killed the general of Wu State. How could this be possible?
You must know that Zhuge Jin is an important minister of the Wu Kingdom. He is also one of the top figures in the Wu Kingdom's court. Such a distinguished and important official is surrounded by thousands of guards. Even on the battlefield, it is impossible to take his life.
Disaster.
However, Zhuge Jin's head was placed in front of him alive, and he could not disbelieve it.
"Qin Gongcao, you have been to Soochow before and met Zhuge Jin. Come and see if this head belongs to Zhuge Jin himself?" To be on the safe side, Wang Ji called over Qin Gongcao, who had been to Jiangdong before.
Let him take a closer look.
Qin Gongcao had been a secret agent before and had been lurking in Jiangdong for many years. He naturally knew the important ministers and high-ranking officials of Wu State. He stepped forward and looked at it for a moment, and said firmly: "Zhuge Jin's face is different from ordinary people. His face is like a donkey, so he resigned.
It is concluded that this head must be that of Zhuge Jin himself."
Captain Qi Ping said in confusion: "What kind of identity is Zhuge Jin, and how could he appear in the vanguard of the Wu army? Even if the Wu army is defeated, it will not be easy to kill Zhuge Jin. And looking at this head, it is already a bit difficult to chop it off."
It's time, it's definitely not someone who has just been beheaded, so I ask Governor Wang to be more careful and be careful of fraud."
Wang Ji waved his hand and said: "As long as we are sure that it is Zhuge Jin's head, that is enough. As for when it was beheaded, it does not matter. Anyone who comes, immediately open the city gate and welcome General Zhengnan to enter the city!"
In the past, Wang Ji did not dare to let them into the city easily because he doubted their identity. Now his doubts have been lifted. If Wang Ji continues to make things difficult, he will not be able to bear the consequences if the court investigates them.
The city gate rumbled open, and Cao Liang and Ren Lan looked at each other. It took a lot of effort to open the city gate. Now that the city gate was opened, the entire Southern Conquest Army finally turned the corner.
Wang Ji personally went out of the city to greet him, and said to Cao Liang and Ren Lan, "I didn't know your identities before, so I couldn't use my talents to turn you away. I'm really sorry. I apologize for any offense I've offended."
Cao Liang clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Prefect Wang is responsible for his duties, and I deeply understand. In the final analysis, it is still a misunderstanding. Now that we can put an end to the past, it's great."
In fact, Cao Liang also knew that Wang Ji was not to blame for this matter. If the place was changed and Cao Liang was asked to defend the city, and an army suddenly appeared, claiming to be a friendly army, if Cao Liang opened the city gate and let go without thinking,
When he entered the city, he might have fallen into the enemy's trick.
The battlefield is always full of conspiracies and tricks. In order to capture the city, the enemy will use all possible means. It is natural for Wang Ji to be so cautious.
Once careless, the consequences are likely to be the destruction of the city and the death of people.
Therefore, what Wang Ji did was not wrong. Fortunately, the Conquering South Army had the presence of the Xiaoqi Battalion and did not suffer any losses. In short, in the end, it was a happy situation for everyone.
Wang Ji still had a huge question in his heart, and he said politely: "I wonder what your surname is and what your current position is?"
Cao Liang said: "I am Cao Liang, and I am joining the army as a general in the southern expedition."
"It turned out to be Cao Shenjun, disrespectful and disrespectful. Zhuge Jingui was the general of Soochow, but I don't know how Cao Shenjun captured his head?"
At this point, Cao Liang no longer needed to hide anything. He simply explained the situation of the Battle of Anfengdu, so that Wang Ji could roughly understand the causes and consequences of the arrival of the Southern Conquest Army.
It was then that Wang Ji suddenly realized that the Southern Conquest Army had experienced such a vicious battle at Anfengdu. No wonder this army seemed to be in disarray.
Ren Lan was secretly worried. After all, although the Wu army was repelled, the follow-up troops would still arrive soon. The Wei army was now stranded outside Anfeng City. The situation was also critical. Only by entering the city could they ensure safety.
So Ren Lan said: "Prefect Wang, let's discuss the details later after entering the city. Wu's army may attack at any time, so it's better to let the army enter the city first."
Wang Ji said quickly: "Okay, okay, it's important to enter the city, it's important to enter the city."
