Chapter 146: Coup d'état
After Song Jingran left in a hurry, he wanted to go back to the Song Mansion, but found that the surroundings of the Song Mansion had been buried with mysteries, thinking that it was someone secretly arranged by Gao Jin, so it was not appropriate for him to appear in the mansion at this time, so he simply took the opportunity to explore Bai Nianming's movements;
And when he went to Bai Nianming's mansion, he learned that Bai Nianming was summoned into the palace by King Liang, so he had to go to the dark spirit to see if she could know the inside story.
Dark Spirit received Song Jingran's code, changed into a long-lost dark shop costume, and a black shadow shuttled through the crowded streets, and no one seemed to care about her actions.
Song Jingran was in a secluded corner with his hands in his hands, and he stepped forward with a few arrows, kneeling on one knee, "My subordinates see the young master." ”
Song Jingran didn't turn around, and asked in a cold voice, "You admitted your identity to Bai Nianming?" ”
The dark spirit hesitated for a moment, and couldn't guess the meaning of Song Jingran's words, so he said, "The subordinates are incompetent and fail to do a good job, please punish the young master." ”
Song Jingran was secretly worried that Bai Nianming would take revenge on them because of the betrayal of the dark spirit.
"You will meet the army in the city soon, and the prince of Jin will arrange your task, Bai Nianming's side, put it aside for the time being." No matter where Bai Nianming is, what they lack at the moment is the main force, and they can't take care of so much.
"Yes." Dark Spirit said with a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart, was there a conflict between Bai Nianming and them, and suddenly, she was a little afraid that she would be an enemy with him.
Song Jingran's departing figure pulled back her dark thoughts, and she clearly understood that now was not the time to imagine private emotions.
The mighty army appeared in all directions of Liangcheng, Song Jingran clearly understood that this was their army, and his heart was excited, hoping that this was a clear move, and that this war would end as soon as possible.
Song Jingran left the city before the city gate was closed, and went straight to the east side, hoping that the shadow side would still be deadlocked; And the closure of the city gates also means the beginning of a great war; But the army outside the city didn't know what kind of battle situation it was facing.
After Gao Jin led the army to take the palace, he also sent troops to guard the Song Mansion and the Lin Mansion at the same time, and ordered someone to inform Yu Zixia of the battle situation outside, Yu Zixia and Xiaohui were at a loss for the sudden war, and they were even more anxious and worried after learning that Song Jingran was also involved, but they couldn't help anything, both of them worshiped the Buddha with tears, hoping to keep him safe.
In the palace, King Liang sat in the court in a panic, and after hearing that the soldiers reported the situation in the city, his face turned white instantly, and his body began to tremble, as if he wanted to deliberately hide his fear, and King Liang began to fidget.
"What are the strategies of Zhong Aiqing for Gao Jin's rebellion?" King Liang tried his best to control his voice without trembling, but he didn't expect Gao Jin to be one step faster than him.
Li Tongan made an example and said, "King Huiliang, now Gao Jin has taken the palace with his troops, and it is estimated that he will soon send troops to the palace, and we don't know Gao Jin's strength for the time being, so it is better to press the troops first, and wait for the army outside the city to enter the city, let's come to both sides and clamp it, even if Gao Jin has more soldiers and horses, he can't resist our three armies to resist." ”
"Does General Li mean to let King Gu sit and wait for Gao Jin to lift King Gu's head?" King Liang waved his sleeves with anger on his face, he didn't believe how many soldiers and horses Gao Jin could hide in the small Liang City.
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen is just" Li Tongan didn't finish speaking;
King Liang waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Enough, enough, the Lone King ordered, immediately send troops to exterminate the rebels, send five hundred li to expedite, and order the army to return to the city to hurry up day and night, and quickly rush back to the escort, and then send eight hundred li to expedite all the troops of the relevant departments to recall, to ensure the safety of the palace, and also, send troops to take down the Jin Palace, the Lone King does not believe that he Gao Jin will abandon his wife and children." ”
King Liang got up and hurriedly commanded, panicked with horror, frightened with anger.
When everyone in the hall heard this, they all talked about it for a while, but no one felt the words; Li Tongan looked at the courtiers beside him who could speak well on weekdays, at this time, no one dared to pick on King Liang's mistakes, anyway, he was loyal to the end, and it was not in vain "King Liang" Li Tongan said with a worried face with a little vicissitudes of life, "At present, there is an unknown army outside the city, if King Liang recalls the troops of the various customs departments at this time, in case the enemy army takes the opportunity to attack the customs department, it will not be easy, when the time comes, we will become the turtle in the urn, King Liang think twice." ”
King Liang said resolutely, "General Li is serious, as long as the army enters the city, the anti-thieves will be exterminated in the near future, how can the anti-thieves have the opportunity to attack the Guanbu, besides, the anti-thieves do not necessarily have so many soldiers and horses, General Li does not have to worry too much, do what King Gu said." ”
"King Liang" Li Tongan still wanted to persuade him again, but King Liang interrupted him angrily and said, "Does General Li want King Gu to guard the palace?" ”
"Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that if it goes on like this, Beiliang will be defeated." Li Tongan was prostrate on the ground, the big war was ahead, King Liang only cared about his own life, whether this was the catastrophe of Bei Liang, or the difficulty of the people, Li Tongan sighed secretly in his heart.
"Bold," King Liang shouted in disgust, "Is General Li not confident in the army of the Lone King?" Or is General Li greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't dare to go to war? ”
"Wechen doesn't dare." Li Tongan kowtowed and said, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”
Li Tongan was completely disappointed, how many wars he had fought over the years, and now he was in the name of greedy for life and afraid of death, and secretly sighed, he only hoped that the war could affect some people and end as soon as possible;
"Good," King Liang said arrogantly, "General Li will personally lead the troops, and be sure to exterminate the thieves, if you are not competent, the lone king will be severely punished, and if you return from a great victory, the lone king will also be rewarded." ”
King Liang is full of confidence, Li Tongan is more or less a person who has experienced all kinds of battlefields, and he sends troops, and the chances of victory are a little more certain.
"Dare to ask King Liang, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Li Tongan knew that the situation was difficult to reverse, and when he learned the number of soldiers and horses, he had to make a strategy as soon as possible.
"Uh" King Liang hesitated for a moment, and the next words seemed to be not suitable for a king to say, but considering life and death, he pretended to be majestic and said, "For the time being, I will point out to you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, just in case, will still be guarded inside and outside the palace, if General Li's personnel are nervous, King Gu will send people over to support in due course." ”
Li Tongan looked up at King Liang, he didn't want to be a king who was greedy for life and afraid of death, it was really a humiliation for Beiliang.
"King Yuliang, the old minister believes that General Li is old and has not participated in the war for several years, and General Bai is young and vigorous, and has repeatedly made great contributions.
Zhang Aiqing on the side was really a little unbearable, Li Tongan was blamed, and King Liang's mediocre behavior, he didn't sigh, maybe this battle may not be the disaster of Beiliang.
"It is precisely because General Bai is young and vigorous that he should stay by the side of the Lone King to protect." King Liang didn't think about it, and said with some embarrassment at this point, "Of course, although General Li is old, he has more experience than General Bai, and Jiang is still old and spicy, and King Gu believes that General Li will live up to expectations." ”
"The last general will swear to protect King Liang to the death." Bai Nianming made an exception, and said with a heavy hand, he was looking for an opportunity to stay, he didn't want King Liang to do this, and it saved him from hard work;
Li Tongan will be an opponent of Gao Jin, but as long as he passes this level, the palace side is what he says, and at the moment, what he is most worried about is the battle situation outside the city.
"Okay, with General Bai's words, King Lone can rest assured, let's wait for each of them to receive the task, General Li and General Bai will each take their own talismans to the military department to lead the troops, and King Lone is waiting for the good news."
King Liang looked excited, without the slightest worry about the imminent war, perhaps it was the military exploits of Li Tongan and Bai Nianming that had become a kind of dependence in his heart, and he ignorantly thought that victory would always belong to them.
Everyone knelt down one after another and said, "You will definitely live up to King Liang's expectations." ”
King Liang nodded with satisfaction, and then left the court, and everyone was talking for a while, some were seeking a way out for themselves, some were loyal to death, and some were powerless, so they went with the flow.
After Bai Nianming and Li Tongan each ordered troops, the two walked all the way, Bai Nianming knew that Li Tongan was upright, but he was definitely a loyal minister, and it would be a pity if he died under the mediocrity of King Liang.
Bai Nianming arched his hand and said, "General Li will go to battle immediately, and the last general is here to congratulate the general on his victory and triumphant return." ”
"Thank you General Bai, General Ben will live up to everyone's expectations." Li Tongan also returned the salute, for Bai Nianming, although he has participated in several battles together, but for scheming and cunning people, he has never been communicative, but Bai Nianming's strength and movements, he knows a little, but at the moment, everything is not important, everything is according to the will of God.
"Since ancient times, no one has been able to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, why don't you want to open a point." Bai Nianming smiled, then turned to leave, his words were enough to make him understand that it was up to him how to choose, and he hoped that he could make an exception once in his life.
Li Tongan looked at Bai Nianming's departing figure, and closed his eyes helplessly, he has experienced the battlefield in his life, but this time, it is his most stressful battle, maybe his mentality has changed, maybe he is physically and mentally tired, as a soldier, the battlefield is the best destination.
Song Jingran was camping out close to the shadows, and he hadn't noticed any movement yet, thinking that King Liang's army had not yet arrived, and he hadn't even discovered them.
In front of the barracks, the shadow was already here, looking anxiously around, and when he saw Song Jingran's figure, he immediately greeted him.
Song Jingran dismounted, followed the shadow and went straight to the tent, he picked up the tea on the table, and drank it in one breath, he was worried that if he continued like this, he was afraid that his physical strength would really be exhausted.
"What's going on, what's wrong with the other side's army?" Song Jingran looked a little weak.
"Back to the young master, according to the spies' report, the opposing army is no different, because of a section of mountain road, the marching speed is slow, but after that mountain road, it is estimated that we will be able to find us."
