Chapter 1103: Carving a boat for a sword
The man was just a man after all, daring to bully a man who was incapable of fighting back, but he was deeply afraid of the retribution inflicted by the powerful, and he made a miserable sound of begging for mercy through his throat over and over again, but his mouth full of blood and saliva almost choked him so much that he coughed violently.
Half a month apart, Shi Siming walked like heaven and earth and hell, this kind of mood ups and downs are not something anyone can experience, parents and children betrayed, and the faces of a generation of heroes were knocked to the ground and trampled on. All of this came together and turned into a thick fire of anger and revenge.
This kind of anger and revenge has nothing to do with any specific person or thing, and anyone who provokes him will face life and death disasters at every turn.
"Pull out and feed the dogs!"
After that, Shi Siming left the military tent without looking back, followed by the faint sound of barking and howling dogs.
The reason for this, it is also his life, that day it was a light cavalry of his elite Praetorian Guard who attacked Hu Bing's camp that day, and he was saved in such an unexpected situation, which was really unexpected.
Now Shi Siming, there is still an unfillable hatred in his heart, and he is unscrupulous to vent to anyone, the Hu soldiers who captured Zhuangding before, most of them have already chosen to surrender, but he has already ordered all of them to be executed.
The general Luo Yue had a gloomy face, he was scolded by Shi Siming, and then he was stripped of all military positions, and now he is just in charge of the power and meritorious service. Fortunately, he is an old subordinate who has followed Shi Siming for more than ten years, so he did not end up in a different place. During the departure to Raozhou, the remaining generals with ambiguous attitudes did not end so well.
In fact, Luo Yue was only the deputy commander of the Janissary Army, and although he was stripped of all his military positions this time, he was a blessing in disguise in terms of actual power and became the chief general of the whole army.
Shi Siming bypassed the military tent, stood still by a wooden stake, suppressed the raging anger in his chest, and asked in a gloomy voice:
"Where is Chaoyi's rebel son now?"
"Prince ......"
"He still wants to be the crown prince now? It's just wishful thinking, I led the teacher to kill him, does he still want to live?"
"It should have led the army north, it is reported, it is reported that Fan Yang ...... There's a big force of soldiers and horses!"
Shi Siming's back was a little rickety, and the long-term hunger and torture had almost destroyed his body, and this bull-like Turkic strong man was struggling to support him, and he was too weak in front of his generals.
"After tonight, the soldiers and horses will go north, but I want to see what earth-shattering things this rebel can do!"
There is no need for Shi Siming to explain more, Luo Yue sent a large number of rangers to spread along the way in the direction of Fan Yang, Shi Chaoyi openly rebelled and almost killed Shi Siming, the civil strife of "Dayan" has reached such a point, and the ghost knows which side the magistrates and soldiers and horses along the way are on.
However, Shi Siming has been riding for half his life, and he still has enough confidence in the use of soldiers, and he did not put Shi Chaoyi, who he made the prince, in his eyes, and after locking himself alone in the sleeping tent, he lay on the military couch physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't dare to sleep for a long time, although Luo Yue showed enough loyalty, but even his own son could betray and intend to put him to death, how could those generals who had no blood relationship be completely reliable?
The folk proverb says that once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, at this time, in Shi Siming's eyes, anyone was suspected of betraying him, and anyone had a reason to kill.
Lying down so carefully, I don't know how long it took, when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, and the wind outside the military tent and the rustling of grass and trees would make him involuntarily nervous. When he was tired of running for his life, he didn't have time to taste this state of mind, but now that he was in the Praetorian Guard camp, the breath that hung tightly was released, but he felt that there was nowhere to rest easy, and the darkness wrapped in all the negative emotions pressed up in a row, pressing him out of breath.
"Someone, come on!"
After only shouting twice, there were already servants who came in in a panic, and the eunuchs who accompanied them either died in Yuan Township or surrendered to Shi Chaoyi. Therefore, he could only temporarily use the miscellaneous servants in the army to serve the Son of Dayan.
"Your Majesty!"
The servants knew that the Son of Heaven was in a very bad mood right now, and that the slightest disobedience would take people's lives, so they all knelt on the ground one by one, not knowing what fate awaited them.
Looking at a few trembling servants, Shi Siming suddenly felt that everything in front of him was ridiculous, he was not like this before, and he would wake up in his sleep.
"All of you go down!"
He waved his hand calmly, and drove the minions out again.
When everything was quiet again, the sound of the bucket came one after another, and Shi Siming actually had a very unreal feeling.
"Your Majesty, Chen Luo Yue asks to see!"
Luo Yue's voice sounded softly from outside the tent!
"Come in!"
Shi Siming is quite satisfied with the performance of this general, and this is also the most satisfied person since he encountered a great change.
Luo Yue was respectful, even walking a few steps with a cautious look, and only after sitting down did he speak:
"The rangers sent out have paid off, and Fanyang City has been besieged for ten days, which is too ...... Chaoyi's troops are besieging the city!"
Hearing this, Shi Siming's eyes showed an undisguised fierce light.
"Rebel, he can't live for his own evils, how many people has he instigated?"
"It's always around 100,000, and it will take a day or two to have definite news!"
Shi Siming nodded.
"Is there anything unusual on the side of the Shenwu Army? There is such a big thing happening inside us, it is impossible for them not to know about it, and it is impossible for them not to take the opportunity to make a move!"
Luo Yue's face was as usual:
"The Shenwu army in Henan did cross the Yellow River, but it was tripped up by millions of displaced people in Dezhou!"
Shi Siming was very interested in this news and interrupted Luo Yue.
"How do they treat the homeless?"
"Contain all of them, open warehouses and release grain!"
At this point, Shi Siming Huo Ran got up, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.
"Millions of displaced people, even if they pour out the grain in Luoyang Hanjiacang, it will not be enough to fill this bottomless pit! I really want to see which one made this ghost idea, it must not be Qin Jin, Qin Jin is ruthless and vicious, and it must be the group of rotten Confucians around him who can make such a decision!"
Shi Siming knows everything about Luoyang's grain storage in Hanjiacang, he and An Lushan squandered a lot, but Hanjiacang's grain is still very considerable, but millions of displaced people don't produce, if they use these stored grain to feed, it is really wasted!
Moreover, that's a million homeless people, not a million docile Mianyang. The difference between the outcasts and the rogues is just one word, once they can't meet their hungry requirements, they will definitely gather and cause chaos, and even if the Shenwu army is eaten up at that time, it may not be impossible.
Shi Siming has suppressed many civil unrests in Hebei over the years, so how can he not know the harm of the displaced people? Therefore, there is no need to worry about the threat from Henan, these million displaced people are enough for the Shenwu Army to be anxious, and the only thing to worry about now is the Hedong Shenwu Army.
"Didn't Lu Qi make any moves?"
Over the years, Shi Siming has been stationed in Hebei, and he has always been targeting Lu Qi, because he also has a very good understanding of Lu Qi's military style.
As for the soldiers and horses in Hedong, he knows it well, just those 50,000 or 60,000 people, there is still more than enough to protect himself, if he marches into Hebei on a large scale, it is to find death. Now the Shenwu Army in Henan is entangled by millions of displaced people, and the Shenwu Army in Hedong has no support, and it is also doomed to be alone.
"The Hedong Shenwu Army has indeed moved, but it has not dared to cross the Jingchengkou so far, Your Majesty should also be careful to take precautions!"
Shi Siming's face showed a little disdain. For many years, he has always beaten Lu Qi almost without parrying, and he is still very clear about the catties and taels of this Hedong Jiedu envoy.
"If Lu Qi doesn't come, he can still be his festival envoy in Hedong, if he doesn't measure himself, wait for his end......"
Shi Siming sat back on the couch.
"Don't pay attention to the Hedong Shenwu Army, early tomorrow morning, the army will start and go straight to Fanyang, and Chaoyi, the rebel, must be punished as he deserves!"
It was only at this time that Luo Yue lightly owed.
"Wherever Your Majesty's army goes, it will be invincible and unstoppable!"
Shi Siming nodded as a matter of course.
"This battle must be fast, Dayan can't withstand the infighting anymore, otherwise even yellow-mouthed children like Lu Qi will find an opportunity to bully the door!"
"Your Majesty doesn't wait for King Qin's soldiers and horses?"
Shi Siming sneered a few times.
"There are too many people at both ends of my big swallow rat, and they are only willing to do the icing on the cake, and I don't want to do such useless things to test people's hearts. When the army triumphs and cleans up the rebels, those people will naturally know how to choose!"
Luo Yue withdrew without a word, and the night became thicker and thicker.
……
Hebei Hedong junction of the Jingcheng, Hedong army has been here for several days, the soldiers are eager to try, just waiting for the Jiedu to make an order to go to Hebei, this day they have waited too long, have long been impatient. However, only the festival made Lu Qi calm down, he had just received a military report, and the elite of 30,000 thieves had already marched north early this morning, which showed that the other party did not take their soldiers and horses seriously.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Qi's mouth showed a smug sneer.
Shi Siming is really old, and he can actually make this fatal mistake of carving a boat to seek a sword, although there are few soldiers and horses in Hedong Shenwu, he must be the gravedigger who sent him to the grave.
"Lu Jiedu, the thief Si Mingguo is as you expected before, I don't know when my Hedong Shenwu Army will send troops?"
It was Du Fu who spoke, and he was leaving Jingcheng today and returning to Taiyuan. As the governor and the envoy of the east, his more important mission is to sit in Taiyuan and not delay much in Jingcheng.
"Although Du Fujun is relieved to return to Taiyuan, two days later, Lu led the army out of Jingcheng and went straight to Zhending, the target of the thief is in Fanyang, and he will not return to the division to rescue!"
Hearing this, Du Fu stood up excitedly, rubbed his hands and said:
Du has been waiting for this day for too long, and today I only wish the festival to be successful, and the first battle to conquer Hebei!"
