Chapter 345: Capturing Zhao Dashan
Chapter 345: Capturing Zhao Dashan
General Zhao raised his head and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he pretended to be calm and strode into the tent with the bird in his hand.
After entering the tent, General Zhao quickly removed the note from the bird's leg.
He opened the note deftly and saw that it was written by General Cao. His expression suddenly became serious.
After reading the contents of the letter, General Zhao tapped the table with his fingers and frowned in thought.
"Little guy, can you understand what I'm saying?"
General Zhao looked at the bird that was delivering the letter in front of him and asked tentatively.
After asking, General Zhao shook his head and smiled. How could a bird understand human language? He was really daydreaming.
Unexpectedly, the little bird nodded its head at him and chirped something inaudible.
Seeing that the bird was so smart, General Zhao widened his eyes with joy and continued to try to communicate with the bird.
"I'll have someone bring you some food. Eat something and rest for a while. Can you help me take the reply letter back to General Cao?"
The little bird tilted its head and looked at General Zhao.
General Cao?
It was the divine beast that asked it to deliver the letter, so why did it want to take the letter back to General Cao?
Forget it, let's just agree to this man's words first. The letter is with it, and it will bring the letter to the Lord Divine Beast later.
Then the little bird chirped again and nodded its head towards General Zhao.
General Zhao was secretly complaining when he saw the bird staring at him blankly without any response. Could it be that the bird's nodding just now was just a coincidence and it couldn't understand human language?
The bird nodded at him again.
To be on the safe side, he communicated with the bird a few more times and finally confirmed that it could really understand human language.
"Somebody come!"
General Zhao shouted outside the tent.
"I am honored to meet you, General. May I ask what you may do for me?"
A personal guard lifted the curtain and walked in, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully to General Zhao.
"Go get some food. I need to feed the birds!"
General Zhao pointed his thumb at the colorful bird on the table and said.
The guard looked in the direction of General Zhao's finger and was stunned for a moment. The general wanted to feed the birds?
We will be fighting a big battle with the Jin soldiers in two days. How can the general still have the leisure and elegance to do this?
Besides, I have never seen him raising birds before. The general has never been interested in these things. He once scolded him that these are things that only idle playboys would do. What happened today?
General Zhao saw that his guards were staring at the bird on the table without moving.
He coughed and asked, "Why don't you go get the food? What's the matter?"
Hearing General Zhao's voice, the guard came back to his senses instantly. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "I have nothing to do. I will go get the food right away!"
Perhaps his general had been working too hard to defeat the Jin soldiers recently, so when he saw the little bird today, he wanted to tease and feed it to relax.
Alas, his general is so pitiful. Year after year, day after day, he has to live in the military camp with his head tied to his belt, and the emperor still suppresses him and does not appreciate it.
While thinking about this, the guard went downstairs to get food for the bird.
General Zhao felt somewhat puzzled by the pitying and sympathetic expressions on the faces of his personal guards as they left, and he got goose bumps all over his body.
"Little guy, I have some things to arrange. Please wait in this tent. My guards will bring you some delicious food in a while!"
General Zhao gently touched the feathers on the bird's head with his fingers and smiled at it gently.
Seeing the little bird nodded to him, and then jumped and played on the table, General Zhao strode out of the tent to discuss things with other generals.
General Zhao got together with several other generals and had a discussion. They unanimously decided to capture Zhao Dashan first.
Lao Cao would definitely not joke about such a thing. Since he said that Zhao Dashan was a spy, he must have evidence of his collusion with the enemy.
Zhao Dashan was trying to find out what the purpose of General Zhao's troop deployment was in the past two days when he was gagged and tied up by General Zhao's personal guards.
The guards brought the bound Zhao Dashan to General Zhao and several other generals.
Zhao Dashan was mumbling something in his mouth, looking in the direction of General Zhao, trying to get closer to him.
Seeing this, General Zhao waved to a personal guard. The guard understood and stepped forward to take the cloth out of Zhao Dashan's mouth.
He also didn't know why his general ordered them to arrest Zhao Dashan, but in the army, orders are above all else, so they didn't need to know the reason.
"General, what do you mean? Why did you tie up my subordinates?"
After the rag in Zhao Dashan's mouth was taken out, he coughed twice, then pretended to be calm and looked at General Zhao and asked.
He pretended to look innocent on his face, but he was actually panicking inside!
"Zhao Dashan, you should know very well why I ordered people to capture you. You have been in the Zhao army for so many years and have made many military achievements. I didn't expect that you are a spy of the Jin Kingdom. If you have anything to confess, please tell me now, otherwise you will have no chance!"
General Zhao looked at Zhao Dashan with a gloomy expression.
"How could I be a spy for the Jin Kingdom? Someone must have framed me. I beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name!"
Zhao Dashan kowtowed to General Zhao repeatedly, begging him to clear his name.
Several generals looked at each other, and General Zhao snorted and said, "Frame you? General Cao said this, do you think General Cao would frame you?"
When Zhao Dashan heard what General Zhao said, his heart skipped a beat. Cao Zhu was actually still alive and in contact with General Zhao and the others!
He looked up at the cold gazes given to him by several generals, his face turned pale, and his mind raced, wondering how to escape from the current predicament.
Seeing that he still didn't want to confess, General Zhao didn't want to waste any more time with him, so he ordered his guards beside him: "Drag him away, give him some muscle softening powder, and keep him under guard. We'll deal with him when Cao Cao comes back!"
"General, your subordinate..."
Zhao Dashan had just shouted a few words when his mouth was stuffed again and he was dragged away by the guards.
After saying something to several generals, General Zhao stood up and quickly returned to his tent. When he walked outside the tent, he heard the voices of his personal guards coming from inside.
"Little bird, I see my general likes you very much, so you should stay and accompany the general. I promise to bring you food every day and feed you well. After the battle, I can also catch insects for you to eat. You should hurry and come to the cage obediently!"
