Robbery (5)

"His name is Song Xiang, but he is actually a Song thief. In the name of false national righteousness, seeking one's own selfish interests, disloyalty and injustice, forgetting one's ......ancestors, "The text in front of him is like a knife, fiercely inserted into his waist and eye." Wen Tianxiang's hand pressed against the tabletop, trembling incessantly. A few special wolf pens couldn't stand the shaking of the table, crackling and falling to the ground one after another, rolling out on the bluestone floor.

"Prime Minister, give the order!" Liu Zijun urged softly beside Wen Tianxiang. He rushed back from Quanzhou in a starry night, and he didn't sleep all day and night, and his eyes were bloodshot. With that angry look, it's like a hungry tiger that can pounce at any time.

Liu Zijun, who was in charge of intelligence and internal affairs, could not help but be angry. Li Guida, who was stationed on the front line of Tonggu Mountain, was defeated and surrendered, which was equivalent to opening a big hole in the defense line on the west side of Fujian Road. After the Yuan army entered from this, it could attack Tingzhou in the north, Zhangzhou in the south, and Quanzhou in the east, occupying the initiative in all battlefields. Under the pressure of this situation, the troops and horses of Tao Laomo, who were stationed on the front line of Shanghang, had to give up the defensive line that had been held for more than a month and retreated to Liancheng. And Chen Hangyan, who went to Huizhou to pick up Zhang Shijie, faced the danger of being cut off at any time and trapping Guangnan.

This is not the most terrible situation, from the urgent report sent back by the soldiers who broke through the siege at the risk of death, Liu Zijun can infer that the situation of more than 5,000 broken troops being surrounded is clearly caused by the main general Li Guida. This defeated general who defected to the enemy is likely to have exchanged tunes with Dachun before the war, so he will take the initiative to attack and send his soldiers to death.

And General Li Guida was picked up by Zou Wei, and his defection to the enemy may have been supported by Zou Wei. Among the broken army, there is a group of people who have always been dissatisfied with the attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion that is unwilling to obey the orders of the imperial court. Among the people of this faction, Zou Xun, the deputy privy envoy, is the leader of the line.

Looking at Liu Zijun's blood-red eyes, Wen Tianxiang felt that his heart was trembling. In any case, he didn't believe that Zou Xun would do such a thing. Will those who have experienced the Battle of Gannan and not surrendered to the enemy choose to turn to their enemies when they see the hope of revival? But 'marching slowly, dangling a shot, actually using a surprise attack by sea to save the young emperor. This strategy, except for the specific executor, only a very small number of core generals such as Zou Wei know. However, in the text released by Li Guida after surrendering to the enemy, the key to the entire Guangnan Campaign, the surprise attack of the naval army, was pointed out, and this was used as proof that Wen Tianxiang was not loyal to the royal family and gambled with the life of the Son of Heaven.

When the strategy was formulated, Li Guida was not in Fuzhou. He could know the specific details, and it must have been told by Zou Wei in private. If Zou Wei defects to the enemy, it will involve more than him and Li Guida. In the entire Broken Army, at least one-third of the generals were brought out by Zou Wei, and it is difficult for them to say that they have nothing to do with this matter.

"Prime Minister, give the order, what are you waiting for, do you want to see them cooperate with the enemy army inside and outside, and destroy the fruits that everyone has worked hard to accumulate for several years?" Liu Zijun couldn't get Wen Tianxiang's reply, and continued to urge.

When he returned to Fuzhou this time, he mobilized all the elites of the Department of Internal Affairs, and if he was dispatched now, he could guarantee that all the suspects would be taken down within two days.

Wen Tianxiang still didn't answer, as if he had a thousand catties of weight on his shoulders, and the whole person was carried down. At the moment of the great enemy, the matter of internal purging is not unheard of in his memory, but what is the result? He knows it just as well. For the sake of an uncertain crime, it is easy to carry out Zou Wei and those who disagree with his own political views, and perhaps after it is implemented, it will have the effect of unimpeded government decrees in a short period of time. But what are the consequences of this in the long run? A broken army that is commanded by oneself is still a group of sheep who only promise and dare not raise their heads in front of the superiors. Is it possible for men who grovel before their superiors to expect them to be righteous in the face of a strong enemy?

"Prime Minister!" Liu Zijun urged again, he really didn't understand why Wen Tianxiang's performance was so weak every time it came to Uncle Zou Feng.

This time, Wen Tianxiang was not silent, slowly raised his head, and asked hesitantly. "Zijun, what has Uncle Feng been busy with these days?"

"Closing the door and thanking the guests, neither mentioning the matter of Shao Wu's training of recruits, nor the matter of advancing the line. As if everything had nothing to do with him! Liu Zijun replied with a snort. In his opinion, Zou Xun's move was purely to cover up. If Li Guida surrenders two days later, wait for him to return to Shaowu. I'm afraid that even Shao Wu has been sold to the Yuan army by him now.

"Let's go, let's go see Uncle Feng!" Wen Tianxiang withdrew his arm from the tree case and said in a low voice. As if he had suddenly figured out a crux of the problem, the expression on his face gradually relaxed.

"Prime Minister, if this matter is easily stopped, how can you deter those who come after. Isn't it instructing others to rebel casually! Liu Zijun was stunned for a moment, and then protested loudly.

In charge of the internal affairs of the enemy, he knew better than anyone the importance of properly handling the matter. The evidence of Zou Xun's collaboration with the enemy is not obvious, but if Zou Hu is not dealt with, it means that others will collaborate with the enemy in the future, and the Home Affairs Department will not be able to take action without conclusive evidence.

"Zijun, if we ordered the heroes of the world to rise up and resist, do you remember?" Wen Tianxiang ignored Liu Zijun's protest and asked as he walked out.

"Don't make a dog for a tartar!" Liu Zijun replied loudly, his voice trembling with excitement.

But when there is no evidence of guilt, he kills his fellow. What are these companions in your eyes? Is it a dog? Wen Tianxiang sneered and asked in a low voice.

Without waiting for Liu Zijun to answer, he said the answer himself. "No, they are our brothers, brothers who have come down from Baizhangling together and lived and died together. They are not the dogs of the Tartars, nor are they the minions of my eagle dogs! ”

This is the truth that he wants to understand in an instant. With Liu Zijun's explanation, the conclusion in his mind became clearer and clearer. If we can't even guarantee them, how can we guarantee the blessings of the people of the world in the future? Now that I am looking for a trumped-up charge to kill Zou Xun, you will admire my determination. In the future, how can I ensure that I will not kill you on trumped-up charges or in the name of righteousness! ”

"Prime Minister-" Liu Zijun suddenly found that his voice was weak and gnats. As if he was afraid of Wen Tianxiang, he didn't dare to speed up his steps and walked side by side with him.

"What if the Prime Minister thinks I'm powerful and wants to kill me one day?" Liu Zijun silently asked himself in his heart, "Will I obediently stretch out my neck and let him kill?" ”

The answer is yes, no! Liu Zijun knew that he would resist, although he had always been very loyal to the Prime Minister, but this idea of not treating himself as a slave and a retainer had long been buried in his heart, and he didn't know when it had taken root.

Before it sprouted, Wen Tianxiang was the lord and he was the minister, and the king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. And after it sprouts, it lives for itself and its ideals, and is not a vassal of others.

As for who planted this seed and when it was planted, Liu Zijun can't say clearly. Vaguely, I felt that it was from Wen Tianxiang, who was walking in front, but I couldn't be sure.

"What, don't you hurry up, do you really hate Uncle Feng, do you want to get rid of it quickly?" Wen Tianxiang turned around with a smile and asked.

"I, ah!" Liu Zijun hesitated for a while, quickened his pace, and caught up with Wen Tianxiang. He has no personal enmity with Zou Wei, and the relationship is not bad. But why did you want to kill him, is it because he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, or because of his political opinions, he has repeatedly disagreed with the prime minister?

Liu Zijun thought silently, and he also came up with an answer. In fact, since he comprehended the connotation of some of the prime minister's words, he has always regarded himself as a prophet and a wise man. For those who have low knowledge and have repeatedly blocked the development path of Fujian, they naturally want to get rid of them quickly.

But in fact, Zou Wei and himself are brothers in life and death, people who have rolled through the pile of dead people together. I can disagree with his opinion, but I am not qualified to think that I am a head above him. Everyone has the right to think and express the results of thinking, no matter how ridiculous his ideas may seem in the eyes of others. But this power cannot be taken away, otherwise it is neither equality, but the absolute oppression of those who think they are right, and those who are wrong.

Just thinking about it, Zou Xun's residence arrived. Wen Tianxiang gestured and ordered Zou Xun's personal soldiers not to have to pass through. Gently pushed the door open and walked inside.

Liu Zijun followed behind Wen Tianxiang and stepped into Zou Xun's house. At the moment of entering the door, the fingers behind his back moved, making a few strange movements.

Opposite the Zou family, in the tavern that had just opened to welcome guests, several people who were drinking in the hall were stunned, stood up, and walked out of the tavern silently, walking out of the city.

On both sides of the street, in twos and threes, some pedestrians and hawkers packed up their belongings and left quickly, and the whole street was quiet, and the hustle and bustle resumed in an instant.

"Sell fish, freshly caught sea fish!" A voice shouted in its throat.

"Boss, bring me a big yellow flower!" Someone across the street, far away, responded. The rainy season has finally passed, and it is rare to see seafood and sunshine again, and everyone is indescribably happy.

The wind and rain passed, listening to the sound of buying and selling in the distance, Liu Zijun smiled and thought. Raising his legs and walking to the inner courtyard, he saw Zou Xun setting up a chessboard in the courtyard, carrying a pot of wine, and taking care of himself.

Wen Tianxiang walked closer and looked at a person's chess game. He smiled and took one from under his feet, "Smack!" With a thud, it smashed on the tattoo.

"The prime minister is coming to see me off?" Zou Xun raised his red eyes, asked, and without waiting for the other party to answer, grabbed the wine jug and threw it over.

Wen Tianxiang raised his hand to take the pot, sipped it to his mouth, put down the wine, and put down another one.

"One person, one move, no tricks!" Zou Xun scolded, raised his hand, and quickly responded.

"The bureau is set up by you, I started to fall, and I have already come out of the lower striker, so naturally one more son is counted as one. Otherwise, how can you win! Wen Tianxiang replied with a smile, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and the sunspots were put down.

"Everyone looks at who is fast, and the heart is fast!" Zou Wei and Wen Tianxiang argued, and refused to give in to the movements in their hands, and the white seeds fell with the sunspots, and in a moment, the endgame was over.

The pieces on the chessboard are black and white, and the dogs are wrong, and they are not counted, and it is impossible to distinguish between winning and losing.

Zou Xun didn't know what else he could say. Since the news that Li Guida surrendered to Dachun and wrote an essay accusing Wen Tianxiang of being a Song thief, he had a certain heart of death.

Without dying, he could not redeem his faults.

If he doesn't die, he is also sorry for his friends who once died together.

So he closed his door and sorted out his experience in military training. Then while playing chess to entertain himself, he waited for Liu Zijun to send someone to the door, raid his home, and cut off his head.

The only thing that he is unwilling to do is that he can't prove his innocence, and he can't explain the misunderstanding to his better friend.

Unexpectedly, Wen Tianxiang came in person and played the last game of chess with him.

"In addition to being fast, we must also talk about the overall situation and planning!" Wen Tianxiang said as he collected his son.

"Happy, I didn't expect the prime minister to be willing to come at this time and accompany me to play a game of chess. In my life, this game is the fastest and the most painful. Zou Xun looked up to the sky and roared, grabbed the wine jug in front of him, and poured a few big sips.

The soldier at the door quietly turned around and wiped the tears from his face. The old and young of the Zou family fought in the empty pit and fell into the hands of Li Heng. Two sons and a daughter died in the escort, and the wife did not know where to go. After the army stabilized Fujian, some generals took wives and concubines, but Zou Wei has been running alone between Shaowu and Fuzhou without any concern.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of irrelevant people walking around the door, and Zou Xun's personal soldiers know what is going on. Seeing that his boss was depressed, he didn't dare to tell him, but he had already made the worst plan in his heart.

"After killing the Yuan army, you and I will come to ten more plates, and what about a hundred plates. Could it be that Uncle Feng is afraid of me, and he is ready to admit defeat forever! Wen Tianxiang snatched the wine jug from Zou Wei's hand, took a sip of it, and put it aside.

"Huh?" Zou Wei was stunned, and reached out to grab the pot, but did not take it from Wen Tianxiang's hand. The fox looked at Wen Tianxiang's eyes suspiciously, and said: "The matter of rescuing the young emperor by sea was told to Li Guida by me in my book!" ”

"Yes, so according to the military regulations of the Broken Army, you are guilty of leaking secrets! To be punished. I have already decided, to go to the court, to recommend that the emperor remove you from the post of privy deputy envoy and demote your rank to major general in the army of the Breakers! ”

"Li Guida was picked up by me, and I fought for him for the defense task of the Western Front!" Zou Xun didn't seem to understand Wen Tianxiang's words, and continued to grab the wine jug, and said while grabbing it: "You can come to see me off at this time, it's not in vain for you and me to have a relationship." For the sake of the future of the Broken Army, I know what responsibility to bear! ”

"You are not recommending people properly, and you are not clear about the behavior of your subordinates, and you should be held responsible. But how much responsibility to bear is needed, the senior generals of the Broken Army need to gather and discuss and decide. But at the moment, the military situation is urgent, and everyone can't get together, so this mistake will be noted first. The General Staff has formulated a defense plan, and someone needs to lead the team to meet the Yuan army! ”

Wen Tianxiang pressed the wine jug and said slowly.

"Prime Minister!" Zou Xun raised his red eyes, as if he had never known Wen Tianxiang, watched, watched, and suddenly, gave up his efforts to straighten the wine jug, and cried loudly: "I don't collaborate with the enemy, I don't collaborate with the enemy." The prime minister can kill Uncle Feng, but he can't insult his family for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”

A man in his forties, like a frustrated teenager, couldn't stop twitching his shoulders.

The guards at the door choked up, Zou Xun treated him considerately, and he didn't break the frame of the number two person in the army at all. And dare to act, never use their own mistakes to make things difficult for their subordinates. Such a person said that he was suspected of manipulating power, and everyone believed it. said that he collaborated with the enemy, and the guards refused to believe it even if they were killed.

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you!" Seeing everyone's sad appearance, Wen Tianxiang also moved his feelings, stretched out his hand, patted Zou Xun's shoulder, and said loudly, "Take out some looks, this is still indomitable, and when the army is defeated, you have to shout for Uncle Zou Feng, who is fighting hard?" ”

Hearing this, Zou Wei wiped away his tears vigorously and replied loudly, "Where does the prime minister want Uncle Feng to go?" ”

"Shao Wu. Now that the military situation is urgent, you have a chance to make meritorious service to Shaowu, bring out those recruits who have not completed training at the military academy, and take them to stabilize the western defense line! ”

"The Western Front?" Zou Xun was stunned again, grabbed a branch, drew a few strokes on the ground, drew a rough terrain diagram, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the prime minister going to fight the Tartars!" ”

"Between Daiyunshan and Taishixi, the specific battlefield depends on the development of the situation. At the moment, it's just Da Chun who has come in, and Zhang Hongfan's men have not yet arrived. Therefore, let's concentrate all our strength to meet it and strive to repel Dachun. Then step by step, drag Zhang Hongfan down! Wen Tianxiang marked a few strokes on the map drawn by Zou Wei.

Zou Xun's map is very skillful, although there are not many lines, but it clearly marks all the dangers in western Fujian. Between Taishi Creek and Daiyun Mountain, there is a hilly area with a width of more than 80 miles, and there are no big mountains and rivers here, so it is most conducive to the deployment of cavalry. After Da Chun broke through Longyan, the most suitable direction of attack was this area.

General Yang Xiaorong has already led people to meet him, and the defenders of Zhangzhou have also sent people to block the attack. Coupled with the remnants of the broken army that broke through from the encirclement of Dachun, they should be able to drag Dachun for a while. When Xiao Mingzhe arrives with people, the soldiers and horses in our hands will not be much less than Dachun. I will transfer all the artillery divisions of the Wu family father and son, and I should have the strength to fight with him! Wen Tianxianghao did not hesitate to explain the strategic deployment to Zou Wei again. He believes in Zou Xun and also believes in blood-stained friendship.

"What about General Chen Ju?" Zou Xun asked. If Chen Hangyan can lead his troops to rush back, the chances of the Broken Army winning this battle are even greater.

"It's hard to rush back, General Miao Chun flew a pigeon and passed the book, and the young emperor had been rescued by him. Zhang Hongfan suffered a loss, and he would definitely bite it with red eyes. If I were Zhang Hongfan and knew that Dachun had broken Longyan, I would definitely send troops to rush over from this road and desperately cut off the road to help Fujian! Wen Tianxiang drew a few more strokes with tree branches, adding the outer side of Fujian, where other enemy troops might appear.

"Ahh Zou Xun took a deep breath of cold air. In the past few days, I have been thinking about how to take responsibility, and I have not deduced the battle situation, so I didn't expect the situation to be so sinister. On the map, Da Chun, Lu Shi, Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng, nearly 500,000 soldiers and horses, poured in from the mouth of the western front. The 30,000 horses hastily assembled by the Breaker Army don't know how long they can hold up under this stormy and continuous attack.

"Do we have any reinforcements?" Zou Xun asked unwillingly. He thought of the Su family, the Fang family, and all the forces that could be rushed back.

"Before you get back to Fujian, your 7,000 recruits are the only reinforcements on the front line. You and I set off at the same time tonight, and I am waiting for you on the battlefield! Wen Tianxiang shook his head, stood up and stretched, and stretched out his big hand.

Zou Xun stood up, and all the decadence on his body was swept away. hand, tightly clasped to the hand of a good friend.
