Chapter 221: The lesser of two powers
As for the others, Fan Jian didn't bother to explain with these two, simple-minded guys in his eyes. When things work out, these two guys will naturally understand. And at the moment, these two guys who are estimated to have a tendon in their heads are also difficult to explain. If you have time to waste that saliva, you might as well think about your plan and how to do it more perfectly.
Although he was born in a martial arts family, Fan Jian has always believed that the mind is more important than martial arts, without a wise mind, martial arts are useless in high farts, and in the end he is just a thug for others. Besides, your martial arts are high, can you fight thousands of officers and soldiers? The Shaolin Temple, which was known as the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, was also destroyed under the siege of the imperial army?
At all times, the mind comes first. So although this guy was born in a martial arts family, he always resisted his family's request to let him learn martial arts. Even when he was forced to be in a hurry, he simply ran away from home. As a result, I didn't expect to encounter robbers halfway, and I was robbed of all the coils on my body, and I was almost starved to death on the side of the road.
It's just that although he has suffered a lot since leaving home, this guy still hasn't changed his concept, and he still has no interest in what he sees as not only rough people do, this kind of thing that fights and kills the right thing. This point is somewhat similar to Huang Qiong at the beginning. It's just that he lacks a mother who is as strong as Huang Qiong's mother, so he has been able to get away with it until now.
However, for his pretended mysterious and weird smile, Wang Dalong was not in the mood to pay attention to his style at this moment. Wang Dalong, who had fire in his heart and nowhere to go, could only take advantage of the time when the prince couldn't see it, and raised his huge fist at him in a demonstrative way to vent the anger in his heart.
turned his head to find Liu Hu to discuss, and the two of them made up their minds. As long as the situation is not good, even if the two of them risk their lives, they will rescue the prince. Anyway, with the skills of two people, plus other guards, it is impossible to defeat those 3,000 elites, but it is still possible to rescue a few people from the chaos. As for that mysterious fellow, let him go to hell.
These two guys secretly intimidated intentionally or unintentionally, and Fan Jian naturally didn't care. After everyone in the Xiao Cavalry Camp finished speaking, he turned his head to Huang Qiong and said, "Lord Wang, the sword thinks that it is not appropriate for us to go here to play your banner." If you go under your banner, I'm afraid that you will immediately become elbows and armpits, and you won't even give us time to react. ”
"It's even possible that we won't even be able to enter the Tiger Prison. Lord Wang, even if he Jiang Xin did surrender to the rebels, who are you? You are King Jing's own brother. Even if that Jiang Dutong wants to kill you, there will definitely be taboos. It can even be said that the chances of him getting rid of you are slim to none. ”
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility that this person is the foundation of King Jing's family is extremely low. For such a person, it is difficult for King Jing to trust. And on the way here, the prince told me about this person. Jian understood that even if this kind of person made more contributions to King Jing, King Jing would not be able to fully trust him. ”
"A person who sells himself for money will not be able to trust him without anyone. But if you want to get rid of him, you have to have a good excuse even if you kill the donkey. After all, this guy still has merit in sacrificing the pass, and killing him casually will make the rest of the obedient generals feel cold. When the time comes, those generals will make trouble, and even if King Jing ascends the throne, he may not be able to suppress it. ”
"King Jing's rebellion is running for the throne, not for the chaos in the world. You must know that King Jing's prestige is not a little worse than today. If you want to suppress those military leaders, his prestige and skills are still far behind. If he kills such a meritorious person, the consequences will be serious. Therefore, he can't kill it, and he doesn't dare to use it. Today, this person betrays the emperor for money or power, and he may not be able to use tomorrow, and he will betray him the same. ”
"If this Jiang Dutong kills you, it will become a ready-made excuse for King Jing to unload the mill and kill the donkey. The crime of slaughtering the prince, killing no one can say anything. And if he doesn't kill him, King Jing has no way to explain to the clans in the world. Don't look at your special status, those clans hate you and want to get rid of it. But there is a premise for this, and that is that they have to do it. ”
"If you die at the hands of an outsider, they will die of a fox as well. The clan is uneasy, even if King Jing ascends to the throne, he will not be able to stabilize the throne. I'm afraid these things are also clear in that Jiang Dutong's heart. Therefore, for him, you must not be able to kill, and it is also a trouble to catch you, so it is better to simply keep you out. ”
"And at the moment, he has not been able to completely control the three thousand elites in the Tiger Prison Pass, otherwise he would not have secretly poisoned the three military attachés. If you go to this gate as soon as you enter the pass, I am afraid that the three thousand elites in the Tiger Prison will be difficult for him to master. In that case, it's best not to let you in. ”
"Lord Wang, the most important thing for us now is how to get into the Guannai. As long as you get in, everything is easy to say. If we can't get into the gate, I'm afraid that no matter how much we think about it, the tiger will have nowhere to eat. Therefore, we must think of a way to get into the customs first. ”
"In my opinion, how do we get in? If things are really as judged by Mr., Jiang Xin defects to the rebels, I am afraid that he will not open and close the door to this king no matter what. Regarding Fan Jian's words, Huang Qiong frowned slightly and asked rhetorically. Fan Jian's words, he understood, and to a certain extent, he also recognized it, but he didn't have any better way for a while.
Hearing Huang Qiong's rhetorical question, Fan Jian did not answer immediately. Instead, after smiling mysteriously, he took out a small bag from his arms, opened it, and took out a set of official uniforms of a four-rank civil official. After unfolding, he said to the people around him: "Lord Wang, the solution to this problem lies in this official uniform." ”
Seeing this guy's official uniform, Huang Qiong became more and more familiar the more he looked at it. After a long time, Huang Qiong remembered, isn't this the official uniform of Su Changshi in his house? When did this guy take off the old-fashioned Su Changshi and his official uniform. In terms of the character of that Su Changshi, Huang Qiong dared to bet that the official uniform in his hand was definitely not above board.
The reason why Huang Qiong knew that the source of this official uniform was not him, but in the entire Xiaocai battalion, there were so many civil officials. But Su Changshi is the only one who is a civil official brought over by himself. And the other civil officials, except for the few commanders from the third rank, the rest are only from the fourth rank, and only that Su Changshi is a civil official of the fourth grade.
This official uniform is not worn indiscriminately, a civilian official is a civilian official, and a military attache is a military attaché. A few levels is a few levels, and this ordinary person would not dare to deceive. The difference and grade between civil officials and military attachés, the complement in front of the official uniform is before he sets off, and the entire Xiaocai battalion is a four-rank civil official. The set of four-grade civil official uniforms in this guy's hand, except for that Su Changshi, there is basically no one else.
Seeing Huang Qiong looking at the official uniform in his hand with some curiosity, knowing the origin of the official uniform in his hand, Fan Jian, who had been seen through by the British king, couldn't help but blush, and said with some embarrassment: "Well, this official uniform was borrowed by me from Su Changshi, yes, it was borrowed from him." ”
Although there are still some hard-spoken repeated emphasis, this official uniform was borrowed by himself. The soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion who didn't know it were better, but the people of the British Palace, who were familiar with Su Changshi's character, looked at this extremely thick-skinned guy, and their eyes were a little bit like that. That Su Changshi is a rigid person, and he is famous in the British Palace.
I want to borrow it from him, and I see it as an official uniform that he regards as honor. Not to mention that he didn't even think about it as a scholar, even if the king of England went out in person, I am afraid that it is very likely that he will touch the ashes. Almost all the people in the British Royal Mansion present, except for Huang Qiong, gave Fan Jian a look of contempt. What is stolen is stolen, and what else is borrowed, you really don't know the inside story.
It's just that almost everyone underestimated the thickness of this Mr. Fan's skin. Under the contempt of everyone, his old face turned slightly red. But that's the end of it, no matter how much this guy is embarrassed, he owes it half a point. After his face returned to normal, he pointed to the official uniform and said, "Lord Wang, you are now in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, it is estimated that King Jing has already known." ”
"You and King Jing are brothers, and in order to avoid seeing each other between brothers, it is normal for people to send someone to do the final persuasion at the last moment. Besides, didn't the emperor also send many envoys to Zhengzhou to persuade King Jing to rein in the precipice? And the commander of the cavalry battalion, it's normal to send someone to escort it, isn't it? ”
"As long as we can get in, the rest will be much easier. Think about it, if we carry the bodies of those three brothers who died outside the gate into the pass, what will the garrison inside the pass think? Jian thought that Jiang Dutong should not have had time to announce his defection to King Jing below. ”
After listening to Fan Jian's entire plan, Huang Qiong only thought about it for a short time and decided that this was the best way to do it at the moment. The current situation is just as Fan Jian said, as long as you can enter the customs, everything else is easy to say. If he didn't open the door, he could only honestly retreat and wait until the brigade commanded by Yu Du arrived and forcibly attacked the city.
Looking at the dangerous place at the foot of the mountain, the wall is built extremely tall and firm, which can be described as a tiger prison with a tiger standing on the dragon's plate. Even if he doesn't know how to do military affairs, Huang Qiong knows that he can only attack once. Not only does it have to be delayed, but it also has to pay a huge price. This price will even affect the subsequent war.
Huang Qiong clearly knows that she has no other choice now. Either give it a go, or pay a heavy price, or even the price of failed counterinsurgency, to recapture Tiger Prison. The lesser of the two powers, Huang Qiong understands this truth. Therefore, after thinking about it, Huang Qiong did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered to prepare according to what Fan Jian said.
Seeing that others were preparing one after another, Huang Qiong was left with only Liu Hu, who was loyal at the moment. Fan Jian whispered to Huang Qiong: "Lord Wang, there is something wrong with the whole situation right now. Judging from the actions of the rebels now, as well as the situation in the Tiger Prison Pass, this Jiang Xin Jiang Dutong may not be because of King Jing who was bought and surrendered. It is even possible that he is not King Jing's person at all. ”
"Lord, what is the crime of rebellion? That is rebellion, and it is a great sin to punish the nine clans. No matter how much money King Jing gave, even if Jiang Dutong was greedy for money, he might take the lives of his whole family because of the money that could be retrieved from other places. You know that the sword is from a merchant family, and you may not have a complete grasp of the mentality of the official. ”
But there is one thing that the sword is sure of, and that is that those who are greedy for money must spare their lives. Unless he was completely sure that King Jing's rebellion would succeed, this kind of person would definitely not follow blindly easily. Moreover, how long has this guy been transferred to Tiger Prison? ”
"In such a short period of time, how much more does King Jing have to pay to buy a fourth-grade military attache with a bright future, who will do whatever it takes, even at the cost of his own family, to serve himself? If King Jing really had this ability, there would be no rebellion this time. ”
