Volume 1 The Decisive Battle of the Forbidden City Chapter 532 The Forbidden City (38) kills two birds with one stone
Although Gu Jingran is good at internal affairs, he is not a wasted person, Bai Xiangru has worked with Gu Jingran for many years, and Gu someone's heart and ability, "Mo Xiucai" naturally still knows.
It is really rare for this person to be able to be evaluated by Gu Qi like this. But the vague words in the epistle want to be more tempered by Bai Xiangru.
So, this Li Juren, after that, became a staff officer of the Xuanyi General Staff.
At this time, when he heard his words of "being a marching method", Bai Xiangru had a hidden smile in his eyes. I thought to myself, I am indeed a brave and enterprising man, and you dare to say such things? Although what you said is what this general staff member thinks in his heart, in this case, I am afraid that the rest of the staff officers will hate you to the bone.
None of these staff officers are fools, and when you say this, you will have the appearance of a "lucky villain". Is this what the "posture of the state minister" looks like? I'm afraid it's not right.
Bai Xiangru smiled faintly.
At this time, Li Zishan's voice was neither high nor low, but the staff officers in this side hall had already heard it clearly. As soon as this statement came out, I was shocked. Military law, when did the General Staff practice military law?
So when he looked at Li Zishan, his eyes were terrified, and he also had bitter hatred.
Bai Xiangru smiled coldly and said, "You and others are well-educated people, and they all think very highly of themselves. I think it can be compared to Su Qin Zhangyi, Fengxiao Wolong, but in fact, your level is just the level of those 'little martial artists' and 'little merchants' in the rivers and lakes. But he thinks too highly of himself, thinking that he has the ability to stabilize the country and the country. Today, the General Staff will behead a few so-called 'Wolong' and 'Phoenix Chicks' and wait and see!"
As he spoke, Bai Xiangru raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Someone!"
Four or five Xuanyi answered the door and replied in unison, "No!"
Bai Xiangru said in a loud voice: "Behead the 'Tiezhi Fan' Zhou Wenhua, 'Mr. Mingyu' Wu Dingguo, and 'Mountain Zhuyin' Wuxiu to me." ”
"No!"
Xuanyi pulled out the dog's leg and walked towards the three of them.
Zhou Wenhua was shocked and shouted: "Bai Xiangru, how dare you act like this! I have made meritorious contributions to the Xuanyi Forbidden Army......
The dog retreated from the scimitar, grabbed the throat and slashed, and the blood appeared.
Don Wuxiu shouted, jumped up, and shouted: "I am the confidential counselor of the prince's East Palace, Bai Xiangru! Do you want to rebel? His Majesty Xinwu can't tolerate you ......."
As soon as he said this, the knife flashed, and there was an extra blood mark on Bian Wuxiu's neck, and he fell to the ground heavily.
Wu Dingguo crawled on the ground like a dog, trembling all over his body and not knowing what to say.
Seeing him like this, the executing Xuanyi sneered, he had already seen that these staff officers were not pleasing to the eye, and the appearance of commanding people on weekdays was really disgusting, and it was enjoyable to be able to kill a few now. So he took out a three-edged steel thorn and stabbed Wu Dingguo in the back of the neck.
Wu Dingguo died.
The rest of the General Staff were shocked, and when they were trembling, they looked at Li Zishan with a little unkind gaze.
If it weren't for this man's fortunate words, how could the General Staff Officers have killed those three staff officers?
Bai Xiangru said angrily: "A group of self-righteous guys, jumping off the beam clown-like goods, this general staff has endured you for a day or two, if there are any more negative and false response accidents, these three people will be the end of you, the old man picks up the rivers and lakes, and when you cross the martial arts, you are still breastfeeding!"
As he spoke, Bai Xiangru slapped the number of messages from the thorn snake on the desk, and said, "Translate it for the old man, half a moment! If there is a mistake, be careful and wait for the dog's head!"
The staff officers did not dare to delay, and came one after another, combining the information represented by the numbers and symbols on it.
Bai Xiangru sighed, turned around, and walked outside the hall.
Outside the stone steps of the side hall, looking at the snowflakes that had gradually become smaller and the dark night sky, Bai Xiangru exhaled a cold breath and muttered: "It's really troublesome, it seems that these people should be treated as the Zuo Overseer said, and they should have a quick knife to stain blood." In the past, the old man was too soft-hearted, and he always had a bit of the decency of a scholar. ”
After a while, Li Zishan also came out of the hall and stood silently behind Bai Xiangru.
Bai Xiangru said: "The old man didn't let you come with me, you just go back and translate the characters with the staff officers." ”
Li Zishan smiled and said very calmly: "I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no place for students to stand in the General Staff Department, and they will all think that the student is a lucky villain, so they will be alienated." Besides, the students never thought about serving in the Xuanyi all the time in the past, as Brother Gu said, it was just to let the students enter the General Staff and do more sharpening. It really has nothing to do with these staff officers. ”
Bai Xiangru nodded lightly and said, "So, the two years of tempering are almost the same, after this battle, you will break away from the Xuanyi and gain fame?"
Li Zishan shook his head lightly, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that it can't be like this, the student has fallen into Brother Gu's big deal." ”
Bai Xiangru was puzzled and said, "Oh, why are you fooled?"
Li Bin said: "There are too many secrets of Xuanyi, and students know too much, not to mention anything else, it is Xuanyi's set of secret talisman transmission method, students have already learned, and the secret is too heavy." I am afraid that if the student leaves with the front foot, the heel will be killed. With such a secret book, it is impossible for Xuanyi to pass it on. Therefore, the scholars have been destroyed, and the students can only serve in Xuanyi for the rest of their lives. ”
Speaking of this, Li Bin let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Gu harmed me, he only entered Xuanyi in the name of experience, but I didn't expect it to be such a result." But it's not bad, Xuanyi may be able to show Zishan's ambitions. Mr. Ru, 'inspect the world', you are so ambitious. I like it, though. ”
Bai Xiangru smiled slightly, but did not answer. There are all kinds of secret charms in the heart, and a wonderful character message is just one of the means, and there are more handprints and music that you haven't seen. Even the characters can be changed at any time, so it doesn't matter if you leave or not.
But this young man is really good, if you make this matter clear and let him go, it is really not good, it is better to stay and use it for a few more years.
So Bai Xiangru said lightly: "It's good if you understand." ”
At this moment, the staff officers had already deciphered the secret letter, and a little colonel in Xuanyi handed the content to Bai Xiangru.
Bai Xiangru took it and expanded its contents.
"The situation has changed, the number of people does not match, I am afraid that there is a mistake in the reported gathering point, and there should be more staff officers. In addition, please leave the master, and get the emperor to call the capital. ”
When Bai Xiangru saw such a note, he didn't understand what the words left for the Zuo Overlord meant later. At this time, he didn't want to worry about this, and when he saw the previous content, he suddenly mentioned in his heart that the other party had made a move, this was the game of 'please enter the urn', and he was tricked. They just want the Xuanyi to attack first, set up ambushes outside the various gathering points, and then divide them layer by layer.
And the so-called "big sound Xisheng, Zhong Zhen Qianli" is a test of the traitor, or in other words, "Zhong Zhen Qianli" is misleading, making the other party think that the other party should use the voice to send a message.
However, the so-called "big sound of hope" means that there is no sound, and the men and horses that have been arranged in advance will only leap out at the real gathering point near the left to snipe when they are full of ambition and attack.
White Tiger Fang, presumably it is also a concentration of characters who are suspicious of the other party.
With the strength of a square, in exchange for the inner ghost who may be lurking, and then carry out the strategy of "inviting the king into the urn". It's really good and calculating.
Now, Xuanyi is everywhere, being divided and cut by the other party, and the Xuanyi people sent out are only afraid that they will be completely eaten by the other party if they are caught off guard.
Now, there are only two ways in front of Bai Xiangru, Xuanyi, who has been sent out to carry out the task of clearing, will he save it or not?
If you don't save it, I'm afraid that the Xuanyi people will be in danger, and your own troops will be greatly reduced, and all the hard work of so many years will be in vain. If it is saved, it can only be sent to the Kui Niu, who stayed in the palace, damaged the tiger, and Changming Sansi to rescue.
In this way, Ouchi's defense is weak, and the opponent must have a surprise attack, and at that time, the offense and defense will be shifted, and the previous first move will be useless.
Good calculation!
Bai Xiangru was deeply impressed, but he didn't know who the other party was?
After seeing the news, although Bai Xiangru turned over in his heart, his face was still unfazed, and he lightly ordered the junior colonel: "Order, Changming will be the general, hand over the defense of the palace, and order Changming to go to Xuanwufang." Ordered, Ming Broken Ye Shen Ming went to Vermilion Bird Fang alone, and converged with blue and white to destroy the enemy. Ordered, Kui Niu Zhao led the men and horses of the division to meet the king of Mu Ge, and after the divisions converged, they immediately returned to the palace. The Tiger Division concentrated its forces and guarded the Taihe Palace. ”
After the herald Xuanyi recorded, he was ordered to go down.
Li Bin next to him frowned and pondered for a moment, and said a little strangely: "General Staff, although the students don't know the content of the message, when the students hear the General Staff response, they seem to have a feeling of headache and foot pain. That's not a big deal, is it?"
Bai Xiangru sighed dejectedly: "The old man fell into a trick and lost." This arrangement is better than nothing. Next, it is up to the main force of the left governor to turn the tide. ”
Li Bin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
……
Inside the Taihe Palace.
Yong'an was a little tired, and the three of them waited for the three of them to go outside and scatter, and by the way, they saw how Laifu was, but they were still obedient.
The Xinwu Supreme sat upright, his eyes flashing, and his face was unpredictable. Dongfang Zhuo bowed and stood on the edge of the imperial case, holding a wine jug in his hand, ready to add wine at any time.
Li Zhi'an sat on the lower left table, rubbing a wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. It was Zhu Laoba who was sitting, and the fingers of his right hand fell on the desk one by one, frowning deeply.
Mei Xiangzhu had already left the hall at that time, ready to continue to tear up with Sun Xiaohong.
At this time, in the center of the main hall, Mo Xichao lost the "Beauty Sword Under the Moon" behind him and was talking.
"The Grand Governor just said that the news sent back by the Snake Division is likely to be false, and the other party is using such fake news to confuse us, so as to induce Xuanyi to take the initiative to attack, and then divide and kill. Chen thought that such an arrangement might be possible, but after all, it was a small probability. ”
"There are two reasons, one is that, as Zhu Bashizi said, the gathering point on the side of Xuanwu Fang should not be fake, after all, there is the Snake Division will personally participate in the arrangement, with the sacrifice of thousands of people in a square, just to induce Xuanyi to take the initiative to attack, such a price is too great, and it is not taken by the wise. What's more, it is very likely that the other side is a military strategy that is accustomed to calculating troop arrangements, and will definitely not allow a serious decline in its own strength. This is inconsistent with the idea that people who are accustomed to military intrigue win by chance in harmony. ”
"Second, the Snake Division will be from Jinghe for twenty-two years, as Changle Gang Lu Baixian lurked into Youlan, climbing all the way until he entered the core of Youlan, and has never shown the slightest flaw, with the Snake Division being cautious, how could he be seen through by the other party at this time, so as to lay such a trap? This is not logical. Even if the Snake Division will be identified at this time, they will not be in a hurry to make new adjustments, because there is not enough time. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Xinwu nodded slightly. Zhu Laoba also showed such a smile.
Emperor Xinwu smiled and said, "So, what Zhi'an said just now is a bit alarmist?"
Mo Xichao chuckled and said: "Not really, the minister thinks that if the commander is the commander of the Great Governor, it is reasonable to set up such a situation." Because, the Grand Governor usually plots, and he is always used to messing around with the shadows and beating dates. Punching the master to death, false and real, not according to common sense, beating everyone to the blind, not knowing what he is going to do next, under this approach, there will always be unexpected gains. ”
When the others heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help laughing.
The commander of the other party was not Li Zhi'an, so how could he do such a thing? Li Le couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by such ridicule.
Mo Xichao then said: "Although the probability of this is very small, it can't be guarded against. ”
Emperor Xinwu was puzzled and asked, "Oh, why is this, is it really possible that there is a figure like Zhi'an on the Dong family's side?"
Mo Xichao shook his head and said: "No, it's not because the other party has a character like the Grand Governor, but because the seventy-two Xuantu were exposed, and the other party was afraid that someone else would sneak in, so he made a temporary adjustment, and used this fake letter as a temptation, in order to call out the possible internal traitors." If there is no traitor, wait until the general attack, give an order, and attack the Forbidden City. ”
"If there is really a traitor, and at the same time as identifying the traitor, let it spread such false news, just right, come to a trick 'invite the king into the urn', besiege and kill the Xuanyi people who came out to clear the confiscation, and induce Ouchi to come to the rescue, thereby weakening the defense force in the Forbidden City, and their strange soldiers will raid the palace, which is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Zhu Laoba was puzzled: "So, if this matter is true, because of the exposure of Xuantu Seventy-two, they already have doubts about the snake general?"
After Zhu Laoba said this, Dongfang Zhuo, who was holding the wine jug, couldn't help but tremble, this was the last thing he wanted to see.
Mo Xichao shook his head and said, "No, if this matter is true, they are not only suspicious of the snake general, but they are afraid that all the characters on the White Tiger Fang side who can access the core of Youlan are the objects of their suspicions." But this probability is really small, after all, the news I have learned so far is that the leaders of the White Tiger Fang are the three grandmasters, including Wang Xiubei, and all the gathering points combined, as many as hundreds of first-class masters, it seems that it is not cost-effective to exchange such a high combat power for a traitor. ”
Emperor Xinwu thought for a moment and said, "Lord Modu, if such a thing really happens, how should I deal with it?"
Mo Xichao said: "Simple, it is the method of the commander to kill the master with his fists, and only need to send a small group of men and horses to create chaos in the city, and lead Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, and the twenty-four Beijing camps that are on the wall to watch, so that the defense in the palace will not be weakened, and you can wait for the other party to attack." However, in this case, it can be said to have a miraculous effect, but the post-war losses will be incalculable, and after the Supreme Enthronement Ceremony tomorrow, I am afraid that I will have to start cleaning up such a mess. ”
Mo Xichao just said this, there was a Xuanyi messenger to the little school, and he was led by the little yellow door to walk in from outside the hall.
The news from the General Staff of the East Palace arrived.
After Emperor Xinwu read the letter, his expression became very strange.
The letter stated:
The Snake Division will send back the news, except for the White Tiger Fang, the number of people gathered in the other two Fangs does not match at all. Fearing that something would change, the old man had sent people from various divisions to respond. The old man has been defeated, so please invite the left governor to come to the fight.
After reading it, Emperor Xinwu said in surprise: "Zhi'an, do you know how to doppelganger?"
Li Le turned his head: "Huh, what do you mean?"
Emperor Xinwu smiled helplessly and asked the small table to hand the letter to Li Le.
Li Le took it, and patted his head a little angrily after reading it, afraid of something. Xinwu's joke is Ying and Mo Xichao's sentence: "If the person in command of the other party is the Grand Governor, it is reasonable to set up such a situation." ”
sighed helplessly and said, "Mr. Xiangru is old after all, and he has lost his determination. was restrained by the other party's move, and he was a little disheartened. It's not that he can't fight back. ”
As he spoke, he asked Xiao Huangmen to hand over the letter to Mo Xichao.
After reading the message, Mo Xichao sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's not difficult to plan." Mr. Xiangru was afraid that he also thought of the strategy of the Grand Governor, but he couldn't bear to let the people of the capital be displaced and suffer miserably, so he knew that this was the other party's trap, and still sent Xuanyi out to rescue. Before he handed over this letter, he sent Xuanyi out to answer it, fearing that I would use this method, so he blocked the road. ”
Emperor Xinwu said: "Mr. Xiangru is doing this, I am very pleased, once Xuanyi is our hard work, we must not save it." Second, I don't want the people of the capital to be very sad. Mr. Xiang may have some womanly kindness, but his conduct is also appreciated. Even if Mr. Xiangru did not make such an arrangement, I would not allow the policy of knowing peace, for fear that the people would be killed, on the one hand, if someone with a heart found out that the person who caused the chaos was the Xuanyi people, and deliberately spread the news, then I am afraid that the support of the people I had won before would be in vain, and this policy would not be taken by the emperor. ”
Dongfang Zhuoxin said, Supreme Lord, the kindness of Mr. Ru's woman is afraid that it is only for ordinary people, and he can be ruthless to people in the martial arts.
Of course, Dongfang Zhuo didn't dare to say such words.
If it is the princes of the court who are in this Taihe Hall at this moment, when they hear the words of Emperor Xinwu, I am afraid that they will praise in unison: Supreme benevolence, and so on.
But at this time, there are a few high-level Xuanyi people in the hall, and they don't need to slap their beards.
I was afraid that the Xinwu Supreme then asked: "Lord Modu, you are the commander-in-chief of this battle, without harming ordinary people, do you have a way to deal with such a situation?"
Mo Xichao smiled slightly: "Yes." ”
