With a sound of anxiety, a messenger broke the silence of the morning, startled many birds, and rushed to the state capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lively flow of people on the streets of the state capital has been somewhat sluggish due to the recent war, and the number of pedestrians has also decreased.

This kind of 100,000 urgent communication, when it encounters obstacles, can be killed.

The messenger headed for the mansion of the loyal Qinbo, and in the blink of an eye entered the governor's palace, and presented an urgent report.

Zhongqin Boluo hesitated, then took it and looked at it, and suddenly became furious, but it didn't break out, his face was cloudy, and he got up and paced a few steps, in fact, this is in the depths of the Governor's Palace, very deep, but after blowing some wind, the anger has not disappeared, and he came back and threw the teacup to the ground: "Bastards, a group of bastards." ”

Cursing, he sat down and pondered.

"King Lu is really insidious. Zhong Qinbo knocked on the table, frowned, and secretly thought, "Could it be that my strategy is wrong?"

This thought appeared in Zhong Qinbo's mind, his face changed, and he stretched out his hand and patted it gently, as if to dispel these emotions.

"I have to admit that I referred to Pei Ziyun's strategy for dealing with Zhongqinbo in Yingzhou, but after the staff consultation, there are no drawbacks and omissions, how can there be mistakes. But this thought lingered in Zhong Qinbo's heart, his expression was solemn, and he took out several folds and looked at them.

"I didn't expect the Luwang cavalry to be so elite, and the grain transportation team was attacked and killed five or six times out of ten, and the county soldiers responded and were also defeated. ”

"As a result, the county traffic was divided, and what was even more terrifying was that these cavalrymen had a very keen sense of smell, and I set up ambushes several times, but they were also dodged. ”

"I wanted to trap King Lu, but I didn't want to be trapped. ”

The sun shines on the window, the birds outside are chirping, and the scenery of the past is today, but it is heart-piercing.

"Someone, gather the generals for me. The loyal and diligent uncle seemed to have finally made up his mind, and commanded outside the door, and someone obeyed the order.

Council Hall

The soldiers in front of the hall stood on both sides of the column, all of them did not squint according to the knife, standing upright like nails, a group of slaughter, filled with a tense atmosphere, and the air became hotter and hotter.

In charge of the grain and grass was the superintendent of the grain and grass, who looked like he was about forty, sitting on the side of the general, his lean face was pale, sweat was constantly flowing from his forehead, and he wiped it with a hand towel.

Zhong Qinbo, who seemed to look at the case file, looked calm, did not say a word, and only after a long time did he raise his head, stared at the grain governor, suddenly slapped his hand, stood up, and threw the grain road attack book at the feet of the grain governor.

"Yuan Song, as a supervisor of grain and counselor, you have repeatedly lost food, according to military law, you should really be beheaded!" Zhongqin Bo roared, his face turned red, Yuan Song picked up the case file, and when he heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground: "Uncle, uncle, there is a reason for the incident, Lu Wangjun is extremely fierce for some reason, and our grain road is not an opponent at all." ”

"Oh, why isn't it the right way?" Zhong Qinbo looked at and asked, with a strong coldness.

"Uncle, I shouldn't have said what I said originally, Zi Bu said that the strange force was confused, but King Lu's cavalry had many visions, and the demon possessed the body, and someone told me that King Lu saw a leopard man in the cavalry. ”

"I'm waiting to transport grain, but I'm just a box soldier, how can I resist this kind of demon soldier?"

"It's a bunch of nonsense, there is a Daolu Division in the imperial court, these things are semi-public, Taoism can't be opposed, there are leopard people in King Lu's army, am I really stupid? ”

As he spoke, a soldier stepped forward and wanted to pull the food senator out of the house.

"My lord, spare my life, everything I said is true. The grain inspector struggled and shouted: "My lord, it is not my crime to fight!"

The voice was miserable, and several generals glanced at each other, and stepped forward to plead: "Uncle, we are also guilty, we failed to destroy King Lu's cavalry, and I also asked my uncle to forgive Lord Yuan, and kill the minister in battle, it is very unknown." ”

Zhong Qinbo looked around at everyone, he actually didn't want to kill, but he lost the grain channel, and he was always responsible, but now is not the late period of the previous dynasty, the officials are overflowing, the four products are already considered to be big members, it is easy to kill, and the consequences are difficult to say, now someone is pleading, so he sighed: "Since the generals plead, they can be exempted from the death penalty, but although the capital crime is exempted, the living crime is unforgivable, and the twenty military sticks are beaten to set an example!"

A soldier agreed, came up and pressed down, crackling and beating, the governor of the grain is a civil minister, how can he withstand such a beating, but ten sticks, he fell unconscious, and when he reached twenty sticks, his breath was weak.

"Carry it down and be treated. Zhongqin Boluo was annoyed, but there was no way to do it, so he turned his face and asked, "What suggestions do you have for the current situation?"

The general listened to each other speechlessly, and after a long time, someone said: "Uncle, Qinzhou is close to Madi, there are many cavalry, coming and going like the wind, it is difficult for simple infantry to fight, originally we still have some cavalry, but not long ago a battle broke in, and now we only have five hundred cavalry, which can only protect the Chinese army." ”

"Although I have asked the court for help, it is said that the cavalry is being recruited, but it will take time, and it will not be able to ...... for a while."

Listening to these words, Zhong Qinbo felt that his heart was jammed, he couldn't speak, a feeling of decadence was spreading, heavy, and he said for a long time: "Then so be it, you all go down." ”

The general responded: "Yes, uncle." ”

Zhong Qinbo had no choice but to break up the account, and his original idea was shaken again: "Is it really my fault?

A feeling of uneasiness permeated his heart, when following the battle, Zhongqin Bo always felt that the boss was strategizing, and it was not so difficult, but he really became it, only to know that this heavy pressure, almost out of breath, with a lead-filled pace back, there was a scribe with a letter from home and ginseng soup came up: "Uncle, you have worked hard all day, drink ginseng tea to replenish your body, if your body collapses, who will preside over the war?"

This scribe is the staff officer of Zhongqinbo, and he usually does his best, and is very valued by Zhongqinbo, but at this time, Zhongqinbo was in a heavy mood, smiled reluctantly, sat down on the chair, took the ginseng soup and drank it all, the ginseng tea with warmth, flowed into the stomach, only to feel a wave of tiredness came, and the whole body leaned on the chair.

After a long time of being motionless, he struggled to get up for a while, took the letter and looked at it, and saw the birth of his grandson, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, his eyes lit up, but he stared at the candlelight, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed for a while: "It's a good thing, but ...... The current situation. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I originally wanted to blockade King Lu, but I didn't want to be restrained by King Lu, and there were even cavalry attacking various roads, so that the counties could not be connected, and the army of more than 100,000 could not move." ”

"Grandpa is afraid that he may not be able to add scenery to you, and he may not be able to get mildew. ”

"Uncle, you have worked hard for the court, and I think Your Majesty will understand this piece of hard work. The scribe comforted, listening to the scribe's words, Zhongqinbo waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with Your Majesty's trust in me, hundreds of thousands of military expenses, it costs 100,000 taels of silver a day, I know that the imperial treasury is not much, and Your Majesty is not in good health, can An allow me to spend a lot of money to fight for a long time?"

said, with a long sigh: "Am I really inferior to Pei Ziyun?"

Just thinking about it, I felt a pain in my heart, the sun shone down, shining on the window, Zhongqinbo looked at the dust in a trance, the scribe was about to persuade again, suddenly someone came in in a hurry, "snapped" and knelt on the ground to salute and report: "Urgent, Hanzhong was taken by King Lu." ”

"What?" This was a thunderstorm, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, maintaining the posture they had just held still, and then, the scribe came to his senses, threw himself on the case, looked at the map, and suddenly his voice changed: "Uncle, something is wrong." ”

"As soon as Hanzhong wins, King Lu will be able to make a move against Jing and Shu, and the whole north will be shaken, if one of Jing Shu is further given, the whole world will be in danger, and the time will be ......."

"At that time, no matter how much grace I have, I will lock up and ask for sin, and even bring harm to my family. Zhong Qinbo came back to his senses, sat down dejectedly, and smiled bitterly: "This is a thunderbolt from the sky, I just lost my temper." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the map, and his face turned even paler: "At the beginning, I saw that King Lu was only 20,000 soldiers, so I went straight to the capital, and I still felt that King Lu was young and very reckless. ”

"But then Qinzhou fell into it, and I learned that King Lu was to attract the attention of the imperial court and give the rear time to integrate. ”

"Just now, I thought that King Lu was contained here, unable to move, and could be crushed by several times the army, but I didn't want to be King Lu Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang. ”

"Now that I have struck a blow against Hanzhong, the situation has changed greatly, and I am bound here and unable to move. Zhongqin Bo smiled bitterly: "I followed many commanders on the expedition, and even followed the emperor to the expedition, and the usual counselor military aircraft is also remarkable, but once I personally presided, it was full of mistakes and omissions." ”

"Is there a natural talent in this world?"

"Uncle, these remarks can be talked about later, now for the sake of today, it has to be a breakthrough. The scribe said anxiously: "Do you immediately send a message to Jing and Shu and order them to take precautions?"

"Sending a document to Jing and Shu, ordering them to take precautions, is just a remedy, the world is peaceful, disarming and returning to the field, Jing and Shu now have no soldiers, even if they issue a document immediately, the requisition and defense is not a matter of a short time. Zhongqin Bo's pupils flashed with cold light, and his voice was hoarse: "Hanzhong is north of the Qinling Mountains, south of Pingba Mountain, forming a basin, known as the country of abundance since ancient times, this is not enough, the key is the momentum of the terrain, and if you get it, it will shake half the world." ”

"If you get this town, King Lu's whole game of chess will be alive, and the court will be in danger, the emperor is the founder of the country, and he won't see it, if I don't have a countermeasure, let the situation go bad, I'm afraid that within a month, I will be locked and taken into Beijing, and a new general will be appointed to replace me!"

"So all the strategies that took a long time are not going to help me now. "Zhong Qinbo is Zhong Qinbo after all, he was stunned just now, and now he has regained his composure and wisdom, and then he paced, his expression was gloomy and terrible, and he said: "The current plan, only by attacking instead of defending, attracting the enemy army in Hanzhong to return to the division, can Jing Shu be given time to prepare, and the crisis can be lifted." ”

After Zhong Qinbo finished speaking, he got up and pushed open the window, and when he saw it, there was a heavy thunder in the sky, and a gust of wind immediately rushed into the study with a fishy smell, both of them shivered, and saw that most of the day had been covered by thick clouds, and there was rolling thunder from time to time.

Zhong Qinbo looked at the sky, did not hesitate any longer, and said word by word: "Pass my order, immediately gather all the generals, bite King Lu, and consume it at any cost." ”

"Even if three soldiers die to fight King Lu's soldiers, it's cost-effective, I want to see, King Lu is in danger, and Hanzhong still dares to continue fighting?"

With that, a bolt of lightning swept along with thunder, and a heavy rain fell and hit the eaves hard.
