Chapter 237: The officers and soldiers are brave
Chapter 237: The officers and soldiers are brave
In the courtyard where the accident occurred, more and more people broke in with their swords, and the two sides were tense, and a fire could break out at any time.
Wang Ziyong knew very well in his heart that he did not kill Wang Jiayin, but now all the evidence is unfavorable to him. Lin Wende, this person is indeed Wang Ziyong's personal soldier, but Wang Ziyong doesn't have much impression of this person, but now the only one he can count on is Lin Wende. The courtyard was noisy, Zhang Dashou walked in through the arch and said in his ear: "Lin Wende is dead, he should have committed suicide." ”
"Dead? It seems that some people really want to throw this on Lao Tzu" Wang Ziyong frowned, and looked coldly at Gao Yingxiang and the others not far away. In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the person was not killed by him, then the most likely one is Gao Yingxiang.
Recently, Gao Yingxiang's strength has risen sharply, and his ambitions have become bigger and bigger. Regarding Gao Yingxiang's ambitions, Wang Jiayin's big leader was also aware of it and tried to limit it. Maybe it's because of this that Gao Yingxiang has murderous intentions. Gao Yingxiang is the most suspicious, but there is no evidence at all. Seeing that a big conflict was about to break out between the two sides, but at the most critical moment, Wang Ziyong raised his hand and shouted Zhang Cunmeng and the others to stop.
"Brothers, come back!"
Zhang Cunmeng turned his head and said angrily with unwillingness: "Leader Wang, are you just watching others pour sewage on us?" ”
Wang Ziyong turned up the corners of his mouth, smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Gao Yingxiang, and said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, whether the person was killed by Wang or not, but now that the bones of the big leader Wang are not cold, should we let him be buried first?" Do you want to let your brothers kill each other in front of the king's chieftain? ”
Wang Ziyong's words seemed to be a little cowardly, but he took retreat as advance, and even took Gao Yingxiang with the order of loyalty and filial piety. Gao Yingxiang sighed in his heart, put his left hand behind his back, and quietly gestured to Li Zicheng, waiting for Li Zicheng to leave, and then said: "Leader Wang is reasonable, no matter what, we must first let Leader Wang enter the soil for peace." However, this matter is not over, and the king must give everyone an explanation. ”
"Don't worry, even if King Chuang doesn't investigate, Wang will check to the end. No matter who dares to murder the big leader of the king, this person must be like a snake and scorpion, and a pig and a dog are not as good as something! ”
Wang Ziyong looked at Gao Yingxiang directly, and almost pointed to his nose and said that person is you. Gao Yingxiang's expression remained unchanged and was not affected by anything.
After Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong negotiated, a looming military disaster was eliminated, and the two sides led their troops to retreat on the grounds that Wang Jiayin arranged the aftermath.
......
Back at the station, Wang Ziyong's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and Zhang Dashou and the others also felt aggrieved, "Leader Wang, why did you suddenly stop, today Gao Yingxiang's gang pushed the matter of the big boss on us, obviously uneasy and kind." This bird anger, the brothers really can't stand it, although the surname Gao has a lot of people, but our brothers don't need to be afraid of him, really fight, the outcome is undecided. ”
"Hey, Dashou, do you think I'll be afraid of that Gao Yingxiang? At first, I also wanted to fight with a knife, but then I thought, no, if we really provoke trouble, we will be in the hands of others. We didn't kill the big boss, who else could it be? Since Gao Yingxiang should do this kind of thing, he must be fully prepared. It is estimated that he has already secretly ambushed the manpower, and is waiting for us to do it. ”
"And what about us? There is no preparation at all, if you really fight, you may become a ghost under Gao Yingxiang's knife. I deliberately used the funeral of the big boss as an excuse to hold Gao Yingxiang with righteousness, but fortunately, Gao Yingxiang also cared about those false names and did not do it directly. Just now, the people I sent sent sent back the news, not long after we left, many soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the surrounding houses, these people are Gao Yingxiang's troops, now, do you know what's going on? ”
Zhang Dashou and the others widened their eyes and shook their heads in disbelief, Zhang Cunmeng patted the table and said angrily: "It seems that the big leader must have been killed by Gao Yingxiang, but is the surname Gao crazy?" At this time, he dared to assassinate the big boss. ”
"He has ambitions, it's not a matter of a day or two, but I never thought that he would do such a big rebellious thing!" Wang Ziyong clenched his fists, and his bones creaked, "We must not take this dirty water, I thought about the things at the banquet before and after, and after thinking about it, I felt that there was a person who was very suspicious, and only she had the opportunity to smear poison on the outside of my wine glass, which is why I would have intestinal rotten medicine powder on my hands." ”
Zhang Cunmeng pinched his chin and thought about it, and said softly: "Leader Wang, are you talking about Dai Qimeng?" ”
Wang Ziyong nodded heavily, Zhang Cunmeng and the others made eye contact, and someone immediately got up and left. Perhaps, Dai Qimeng is the last straw to solve all the puzzles, and Dai Qimeng must be held.
......
On the other side, Li Zicheng and the others were also complaining, and after collecting the manpower, Li Zicheng said with some depression: "King Chuang, as long as you give an order, you will definitely be able to keep the king and others here, why did you change your mind again?" ”
"Hey, didn't you listen to what the king said? The bones of the big boss are not cold, do I really want to use a knife in front of the big boss? What will the cronies under the command of the big boss think at that time? What will the heroes of the world think of me? ”
"This ......" Li Zicheng was speechless for a moment, but in his heart, he disagreed very much. King Chuang cares too much about reputation, which is really unacceptable. This kind of thing, it should be done at a desperate point, cut through the chaos quickly, there are not many opportunities like this, and now let Wang Ziyong and others leave, it will be a tiger returning to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles. Now that Wang Ziyong and the others are on guard, it will be difficult to attack them again.
In the end, King Chuang is still not ruthless enough.
Similarly, Niu Jinxing was also a little dissatisfied, but he just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it explicitly. I worked hard and arranged everything, just waiting for Gao Yingxiang to give an order, but the hard-won opportunity was let go by Gao Yingxiang.
Niu Jinxing even had some doubts, is Gao Yingxiang really his master?
At night, a small boat quietly docked on the bank of the river. Niu Venus lit the lantern and walked towards the boat step by step. Not long after, a charming woman walked out of the boat, looking at her appearance, who is it not Dai Qimeng?
Untied the package behind him and handed it to Dai Qimeng, Niu Jinxing said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go to Shanxi, if it's late, you won't be able to leave, King Chuang doesn't want too many people to know about it." ”
Staring at Niu Venus, Dai Qi dreamed of finding something in the other party's eyes, but in vain.
"Why are you doing this? Contrary to Gao Yingxiang's intentions, it is not good for you. ”
Niu Jinxing pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Maybe this is the will of God, Niu has been working for thirty years, thinking that this is the end of his life, but he met you." Miss Dai, believe me, as long as Niu lives for a day, he will not let anyone hurt you, go quickly, enter Shanxi, and then open the letter in the package. ”
Looking at Niu Jinxing's distant back, Dai Qimeng's eyes under the stars drifted away, she didn't know if what Niu Jinxing said was true or false. The man was too calm to see what was going on in his mind.
.......
Wang Jiayin's funeral was very grand, perhaps because he felt ashamed, or maybe he was doing it for others to see. Gao Yingxiang was very sad, the funeral was very large, and Wang Ziyong also participated. But this time, the king had a large retinue, and there was also a large army waiting outside the city.
Li Zicheng could only sigh helplessly, the best opportunity had been lost, and now he really couldn't take down Wang Ziyi. Even if you force your move, you will lose both sides in the end. King Gaochuang, King Gaochuang, doing great things and sparing his life is really a mistake.
As Li Zicheng thought, as soon as Wang Jiayin's funeral ended, Wang Ziyong immediately took people outside the city, and not long after, Wang Ziyong's soldiers and horses left Pingliang and went to Qingyang. At this point, Gao Yingxiang completely lost the opportunity to kill Wang for his own use.
Wang Ziyong's army in Qingyang Mansion also indicates that with Wang Jiayin's death, the peasant army was completely divided into two forces, one was Gao Yingxiang, and the other was Wang Ziyong. Because of Wang's own death, the two sides can no longer cooperate as before. After arriving in Qingyang, the first thing Wang Ziyong did was to order the soldiers and horses stationed in Zhending and Luojiashan to be repatriated.
Wang Zi used this move to suddenly relieve the pressure on the north side of the officers and soldiers, and he could free up more troops to deal with the peasant army on the side of Fengxiang Mansion. Gao Yingxiang's mood can be imagined, but he didn't expect Wang Ziyong to use this trick to help the officers and soldiers deal with him Gao. But Gao Yingxiang didn't want to think about it, until now, Wang Ziyong still has a bad reputation for murdering Wang Jiayin, how can he make Gao Yingxiang feel better?
Wang Jiayin's death is not a secret, and Yang He naturally will not let go of such a great opportunity. Soon, Liu Yingyu joined forces with Wu Guofu, and the two adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion and raided the Xiegu Pass, which was located south of Fengxiang Mansion. To the south of Xiegu Pass is Taibai Mountain, and then to the south you can enter Chencang Road. The peasants did not have the mind of going south to Hanzhong Bashu, so they naturally lacked concern for the Xiegu Pass, which is also ridiculous, a Xiegu Pass, only 300 guards, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
Wu Guofu led the children of northern Sichuan to touch up from the shadows, and found that the other party was defenseless, and took advantage of the night to take the entire Xiegu Pass in only half an hour.
When the sloping valley pass was in his hands, he didn't feel anything, but when the sloping valley pass fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, Gao Yingxiang realized how important this place was. After the officers and soldiers occupy the Xiegu Pass, they can go straight to the west into the Wuzhang Plain, attack Baoji, and then threaten Fengxiang, and to the north can attack the county and Fufeng, directly cut off the connection between Wugong and Fengxiang, and even, they can even threaten the Qishan garrison.
A sloping valley pass can actually radiate most of Fengxiang Mansion. As long as there is any movement of troops and horses, if there is a loophole, it may be exploited by officers and soldiers. In short, Gao Yingxiang sadly found that as long as Xiegu was in the hands of officers and soldiers, he would not be able to attack Xi'an Mansion as confidently and boldly as before. Because, if you continue to do that, you may be attacked from behind at any time.
Don't say that it is Gao Yingxiang, even if it is Niu Venus, it is also an afterthought. It's not that Niu Venus is incompetent, he is good at intrigues, playing with people's hearts, and is not good at leading troops and military strategy.
In desperation, Gao Yingxiang could only order Li Yangchun to send troops south and recapture Xiegu Pass as soon as possible. The day after the order was issued, Li Yangchun cavalry rushed to Xiegu Pass, but at this time, Gao Yingxiang and others ignored a problem. Li Yangchun's dispatch of troops to Xiegu Pass will inevitably cause the emptiness of Qishan's troops.
Of course, Niu Jinxing is a problem, because there are still a large number of peasant troops stationed in Duyang Mountain, the first level of Wugong County, even if Qishan is empty, and the officers and soldiers want to take Qishan, they will not be able to bypass Duyang Mountain and Wugong County.
Another day passed, Li Yangchun began to order the storming of Xiegu Pass, what Li Yangchun did not expect was that the veteran Wu Guofu relied on this dilapidated and disrepaired Xiegu Pass, and he was able to defend it like a rock. Li Yangchun came in high spirits, and on the first day, he met his head at Xiegu Pass and broke his blood.
If that's all it takes, that's it, the house leak happened to rain overnight, Li Yangchun hadn't taken the Xiegu Pass yet, and the direction of Duyang Mountain had also changed. The cavalry of the Debuhua Division, which was originally cruising between Sanshui County and Xianyang, was ordered by Cao Wenzhao to pounce on Duyang Mountain along the official road, and successfully attacked the camp arranged by Li Zicheng on the periphery.
Li Zicheng knew very well the strength of this cavalry, how dare he underestimate it, he could only muster up twelve points of spirit to deal with the possible onslaught.
The peasant army on the Wugong County side was also attracted by Yang He's main force and could not move, and for a time, the officers and soldiers attacked in all directions, and the peasant army became a little constrained and beaten everywhere.
The situation in front of him made Niu Jinxing a little annoyed. The peasant army obviously has an absolute advantage, why has it now become a passive beaten party? After thinking about it, the reason is still Wang Ziyong. In order to deal with the peasant army in Fengxiang Mansion, the officers and soldiers almost poured out, but Wang Ziyong still did not move, and the surname Wang was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
It seems that the death of the previous leader Wang has stimulated Wang himself.
Another night, a group of officers and soldiers quietly bypassed Duyang Mountain and appeared silently at the foot of Qishan Mountain. When the ugly time came, the leader of the troops gave an order, and the officers and soldiers who had been preparing for a long time pounced, and the Qishan battalion, which was empty of troops, was simply undefended, and soon, less than 2,000 peasant troops were killed and fled in all directions, and the Qishan battalion was declared to have fallen.
As soon as the sky was bright, the news reached Fengxiang, and as soon as he heard that Qishan was lost, Gao Yingxiang's body shook, and he only felt that his head seemed to be plugged by something.
That Shaanxi soldier Liu Yingyu came out of nowhere, and actually took down Qishan. As soon as Qishan is lost, Duyang Mountain, Wugong County, and even Li Yangchun, who is attacking Xiegu Pass, will be threatened. In particular, Li Yangchun, because he wanted to attack the city and stationed in the field where there was no danger to defend, once the rear was attacked, the officers and soldiers of Xiegu Pass would come out and mix it up again, and the consequences could be imagined.
Niu Jinxing was sweating anxiously, "Quick, King Chuang, hurry up and order Li Tianwang to withdraw......"
Before Gao Yingxiang could issue an order, he saw a herald running in in a panic.
"Report ..... Chuang Wang, the big thing is not good, Li Tianwang was suddenly attacked by the officers and soldiers behind the back, suffered heavy losses, and is now withdrawing to Fufeng. ”
Gao Yingxiang was stunned for a moment, and said with some bitterness: "So fast? Tell Li Yangchun, don't guard the wind, retreat directly to Fengxiang, and I will send troops to meet him....."
Gao Yingxiang sat in the chair a little weakly, what the hell is going on? Why is this the way it is?
