Chapter 16: Wang Kai Gets a Good Opportunity
Liu Hong had not yet come out of the joy of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the news of the rebellion of Beigong Boyu, the leader of Qianghu, reached Jingshi again.
In the early court, after Liu Hong threw out the news of the changes in Liangzhou, Taifu Yuan Kui immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's winter at this time, and Beigong Boyu doesn't dare to march at this time, Your Majesty can urgently call General Huangfu back to Beijing, and send General Huangfu to quell the rebellion in the spring of the next year." ”
"What Yuan Aiqing said is reasonable, so let's do it!"
Subsequently, Liu Hong immediately summoned Huangfu Song back to Beijing.
In the spring of the second year of Zhongping.
The Liangzhou rebels had a huge reputation because of the new leader, Bian Yun, and the rebels' power instantly grew to tens of thousands.
After the Han court learned that Bian Yun and Han Yue had defected to the rebels, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty directly issued an edict to arrest Bian Yun and Han Yue.
Because they were wanted by the imperial court, Bian Yun and Han Yue changed their names to Bian Zhang and Han Sui.
Then, Bian Zhang's army under his command approached the Sanfu region.
Knowing that the rebels had killed Sanfu, Liu Hong immediately asked Huangfu Song to lead his troops to Chang'an to guard.
Not long after Huangfu Song led the army to Chang'an, the rebels led by Bian Zhang finally came to Chang'an City and settled down.
Seeing that the rebels were strong, Huangfu Song had to order the city gate to be closed and not out.
At the same time, when the Qiang people of Qiang Dao in Wudu County learned that the leader of Qiang Hu, Beigong Boyu, was leading an army to besiege Chang'an, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe of Qiang Dao immediately sent someone to contact the patriarch of Wudu Dao and invited him to join the rebel army led by Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou.
After receiving the letter from the Qiang chief, he directly rejected the suggestion of the Qiang chief, because the Baima tribe was in its own right, and if he joined the rebels, his status would decline significantly.
After receiving the rejection letter from the patriarch of the Baima tribe, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe of Qiang Dao tore up the reply letter in a fit of rage, and said: "Okay, you Zhang Yu, you are so ignorant, since you don't go, then I will lead the army myself." ”
After that, Yang Palm, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, immediately ordered the three thousand elites under his command and rushed towards Chang'an City.
With the Qiang people of Qiang Dao sending troops, Wang Kai, who was in Xiafen County, soon received the news, because Wang Kai was very aware of the importance of intelligence, and he sent a few clever people to Qiang Dao and Wudu Dao to monitor the movements of the Qiang and Di people at the beginning of the army.
After receiving the news that the Qiang people sent troops, Wang Kai quickly guessed the purpose of the Qiang people.
Immediately after, Wang Kai immediately summoned Qin Qiong and talked with him.
"Shubao, I received a report earlier that the Qiang people of Qiang Dao poured out of the nest and left the county, I guessed that they should go to Chang'an to join the rebels, I think this is the time for us to take back the power of Wudu County."
"Lord, the Qiang people of Qiang Dao have sent troops, what about the White Horse Department of Wudu Dao?"
"There is no news from Wudu Dao for the time being."
"Lord, if this is the case, the last general proposes not to act rashly for the time being, the forces of the White Horse and Qiang are far stronger than ours, and we are simply unable to meet the battle with more than 800 people in our hands, if we can't hit the vital points of these two departments with one blow, I am afraid that the first battalion of soldiers we have managed to form will be lost soon."
"Uncle Bao, what should I do according to your wishes?"
"Lord, since the Qiang people of this Qiang Dao sent troops, then we don't have to think about it for the time being, with more than 800 warriors under my command enough to take the city, the most important thing now is to find out the movements of the White Horse Division."
"Okay, I'll send more people to investigate immediately."
Subsequently, Wang Kai once again sent spies to Wudu Dao to inquire about the movements of the White Horse Division.
Several groups of spies monitored Wudu Province day and night for several days, but there was still no movement in the military camp of the White Horse Division.
Seeing this, the leading spy immediately asked one of his subordinates to return to Xiabian County to report the situation to Wang Kai.
When Wang Kai learned that the White Horse Department had not mobilized troops and horses at all, he immediately summoned Qin Qiong and said to him: "Uncle Bao, it seems that the White Horse Department has not sent troops. ”
"Lord, if this is the case, if we want to completely take over the seven counties of Wudu County, we will have to come up with a surprise strategy."
"Uncle Bao has a good plan for this?"
"The last general is not talented, there is indeed a plan."
"Uncle Bao, please speak!"
"Lord, now that the Qianghu rebels are besieging Chang'an City, after the Qiang people of Qiang Dao send troops, Wudu County will only have the power of the White Horse Division, since they did not send troops with the Qiang Department, it means that the patriarch of the White Horse Tribe has not rebelled, and the last general intends to go to Wudu Dao alone to lobby the patriarch of the White Horse Tribe, as long as the lobbying is successful, the Lord can use the power of the White Horse Department to completely control the power of Wudu County."
"No, if the patriarch of the White Horse tribe has a slight disagreement, Shubao will have no return!"
"My lord, the last general's martial arts are extraordinary, even if the patriarch of the White Horse Clan wants to keep me, it is not an easy matter."
"No, I can't let Uncle Bao be alone in danger."
"Lord, if you don't take risks at this time, how can you talk about competing in the world?"
"Please allow the last general to go to Wudu Dao."
Seeing that Qin Qiong had said this, Wang Kai finally relented after hesitating and said, "Uncle Bao, I am approved, but remember, you must come back alive." ”
Hearing this, Qin Qiong's recognition of Wang Kai deepened a little more.
Immediately after, Qin Qiong clenched his fists and replied: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
"Uncle Bao, it is dangerous to go to Wudu Dao here, I specially invited a craftsman to build a double gong for you before, you can go with me to get it now, I can rest assured that you can take it with you."
Hearing this, Qin Qiong was extremely moved, when she knelt down on one knee and said to Wang Kai: "The great grace of the lord, Uncle Bao is unforgettable!" ”
"Uncle Bao, please get up, this is not a big deal!" As he spoke, Wang Kai helped Qin Qiong up.
Subsequently, Wang Kai immediately took Qin Qiong towards the craftsman workshop in Xiafen County.
When he came to the craftsman's workshop, Wang Kai immediately said loudly: "Is there anyone?" ”
Hearing Wang Kai's voice, the blacksmith of the craftsman's workshop immediately walked out of the house.
After seeing Wang Kai, the blacksmith immediately said respectfully: "My lord, what are you looking for?" ”
"Have you made the double hammer I made before?"
After hearing this, the blacksmith replied with a smile: "My lord, it's already good, do you want to take it now?" ”
"That's right, you go and get the double hammer."
"Howler!"
After saying that, the blacksmith went back to the house and fetched the double hammer.
After taking over the double gong in the blacksmith's hand, Wang Kai immediately came to Qin Qiong with the double gong and said to him: "Uncle Bao take it." ”
After Qin Qiong heard this, he stretched out his hands respectfully and took the double hammer.
Seeing that Qin Qiong got the double mace, Wang Kai said again: "Uncle Bao, I know that you are quite good at the gong method, if you haven't met a craftsman who can create a double mace, you must have used it a long time ago, this pair of double maces is my reward for you, you see if it fits." ”
After Qin Qiong heard this, he immediately waved it twice, and then retracted his words and replied: "Thank you Lord for your kindness, this pair of double gongs is very handy." ”
"Just take advantage of it, you can take this pair of double gongs to Wudu Dao, I am waiting for your good news in Xiafen County."
"The last general obeys!"
Afterwards, Wang Kai sent Qin Qiong to a place fifty miles outside the city gate.
Here, after Qin Qiong solemnly said goodbye to Wang Kai, he rode his horse alone towards Wudu Road.
Looking at Qin Qiong's figure getting farther and farther away, Wang Kai sighed with emotion: "I hope everything goes well for Uncle Bao!" ”
