Chapter 140: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
Autumn is in the courtyard where Emperor Mao De and Zhao Fujin live, and the two little white rabbits have grown up, and no one cares about jumping back and forth in the yard, and when they saw Liu Jing coming in, they were so frightened that they jumped into a flower bush and hid.
There are several grass targets standing on the side of the wall, Hua Xun and Han Ying are both in strong suits, one is practicing archery, and the other is hitting the eyes of the grass man with a stone.
The chivalrous woman's costume highlights the figure, the captain is looking hot, and is discovered by others, seeing the appearance of the thief's eyebrows, the two little ladies have a trace of blush on their faces, and they don't know if it is hot, so they came over to greet their brother.
The little lady Hua Xun has learned from Zhao Fujin that she has long been promised by her eldest brother Hua Rong to be a little star for Brother Taiwei, and recently read some Great Song Dynasty enlightenment books, and when she saw Liu Jing, there was a strange feeling in her eyes.
As for Han Ying, she was the first Song Dynasty woman to follow Liu Jing, needless to say, the relationship between the two was only waiting for the seventeen years old to be included in the room by the prime minister.
At this time, a small hand was gently held by the man: "Yingzi, if someone is as good at hitting stones as you are, can she compare to her?" ”
was held in the photo, the girl felt very warm, so she didn't break free, and said with a red face: "The slave is a stone kung fu, the true inheritance of the father, in addition to the slave, he has taught two people, one is called Zhang Qing, and the other is a woman, who met when he fell into Hebei, it seems to be called Qiongying." ”
When Taiwei heard this, his brain buzzed at that time, and he suddenly fell from the sky, happily pulled Han Ying's little lady, and kissed her on the face: "Haha, I really didn't expect it, I want to count on you to pacify Hebei." ”
Han Yingmeng took too much of a bite, and the whole person in the panic was soft, and he collapsed in the arms of the Taiwei, looking for flowers on the side, covering his face shyly and not daring to look at it.
Taking advantage of it, the captain patted her and said, "Prepare for the next few days, follow me to Hebei, by the way, Fujin, I want to talk to her." ”
Zhao Fujin was still sleeping, it seemed that he was completely degenerate, Hua Xun wanted to shout, Liu Jing didn't let him, said a few more words, and left the courtyard to come to the barracks.
In the council hall, the lieutenant said: "This time we went to Hebei, our main purpose was to recruit the generals and the elite soldiers under their command, so we didn't kill too much, this operation only took the horse army over, first blitzed one or two states and counties, and then took advantage of the situation to divide and disintegrate them." ”
looked at Sun An and Qiao Daoqing and said, "Both of them are from Hebei, and it is said that they are no strangers to that Tian Hu, are there familiar generals over there?"
Sun An got up and sang a promise: "There is Qinzhou Mountain Shiqi, and he has an old relationship with his humble position, so he can contact and persuade him to surrender at that time." ”
Qiao Daoqing said: "Xianggong, in fact, Tian Hu himself, the disciple knows him, but that person is now the king, and he can't persuade him to surrender, but well, several important people under him, the disciple is sure to rebel against them."
The captain was overjoyed, so the two of them went out with the army, and then said to Chen Liqing and other female generals: "The daughter army is the elite of our army, and we will go together this time." Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, and Jiang Lianshui were overjoyed, and got up to receive the order.
In addition, the horse army led by Zeng Sheng was the main force of this expedition, which also made him step up training and preparation after the meeting.
In mid-October, the hussar general, Liu Jing, the envoy of the festival and the captain of the Shenxiao Army, led 800 elite horsemen out of the city to hunt, crossed the river through Jeju, and came to the border of Hebei.
This time, the three generals who accompanied the Ma Army, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Sun An, Zeng Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, and the daughter army went out with the team, and Hua Rong, Luda and the Shenji Battalion stayed behind.
Liu Jing left and right, and only brought Han Ying and Leng Yuenu and other four personal female guards, Yang Zhen'er, Siniang and other guards left behind to protect their families.
Drinking the Yellow River, the little lady Jiang Ying'er suddenly laughed, and everyone was looking sideways, only to hear her say: "Now the boss can't control us, you can wave casually!" Hahaha! ”
Taiwei lowered his head in shame, Han Ying covered his face, and the rest of the few were shaking with laughter, and her master Jiang Lianshui said coldly: "Apprentice, be careful that the waves are too much, if you have a baby first, you will be miserable."
"Master is right, slaves will be careful, slaves will be careful, hehe." Jiang Ying'er hurriedly said that she was taught, in exchange for a roll of the master's eyes.
Hurrying all the way, they arrived at Weizhou on this day, and the native soldiers guarding the city were frightened when they saw a large number of strange horse soldiers dressed in black coming, and the gate was closed, and they shivered and hid on the city wall shivering.
Liu Jing was helpless, and asked Sun An to throw away his gold medal, and the Weizhou officials received the message, and they were busy opening the city gate, and asked the captain and his party to enter the city to rest.
In the evening, the chief set up a feast and said in surprise: "Tian Hu thief army is huge, leading the troops to attack various state lines, we are panicking, I am glad to hear that the heavenly army is coming, I have heard that the Taiwei is powerful, the magic power is strong, save me quickly, save me and wait."
"Don't worry, sir, I came here to take the opportunity to exterminate this gang of rebels and restore peace to Hebei at the behest of His Majesty." Liu Jing comforted, returned to the residence, and discussed with his subordinates where to break the enemy first.
Qiao Daoqing was familiar with Sun An's terrain, and proposed: "Lingchuan is the gateway to Gaizhou, and our army can go there first." ”
Liu Jing happily accepted, and the next day, the team left Weizhou in a hurry, and before noon, it had arrived five miles west of Lingchuan City.
The Shenxiao Army has popularized telescopes, basically one for each leader, and everyone hides in the woods, holding binoculars to observe the city gate.
I saw the defenders of the city standing and chatting at the head of the city, and a few people at the door were rummaging through the belongings of the people entering the city, but they looked a little guarded.
It turned out that since the incident, this group of people has encountered all the officers and soldiers who are about to collapse at the touch of a button, and they have never encountered any hard stubble, and they are all arrogant, thinking that the officers and soldiers are just like this, but they never dreamed that not far away, a group of hungry wolves were staring at them.
At noon, there were a few bangs under the city, which was to greet the meal, and the defenders rushed down to grab the food, and the city gate also ran in, and in an instant, the leaders' field of vision was empty.
This is really a godsend, Liu Jing waved his hand, Sun An and Shi Wengong took the lead, followed by the daughter army, followed by the horse army led by Zeng Sheng, out of the forest, first a trot, when the speed was raised, the city gate was not far in front of them, and the two leaders shouted, killed into the city, and followed closely behind the people and horses.
Lin Chong watched the battle behind the Liu Jing Palace, and heard the gunfire in the city, and the explosion of grenades from time to time, and the people and horses inside were in chaos.
Within half an hour, Zeng Sheng rode out of the city to welcome the captain into the city, saying that Lingchuan City had been taken, Shi Wengong took the enemy's main general Dong Cheng, and the deputy general Geng Gong led more than 1,000 people to surrender, and the others fled with the people at other city gates.
Liu Jing nodded, led his troops into the city, and the general Geng Gong kowtowed and thanked: "Since you have the grace of not killing the captain, you are willing to be a pawn under your command." ”
appeased him a few words, and first ordered him to lead his troops to stabilize the people in the city and restore law and order.
In the evening, the city settled down, and Geng Gong came to report and obey orders.
Liu Jing let him sit down, dined with the leaders, introduced Sun An to him, and said: "I came here by the will of His Majesty, just for Zhao'an and you, and a Qingping world in Hebei, you can also be a real officer under my command, my Shenxiao Army is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and if you have merit in the future, it will be okay to pay homage to the marquis." ”
Geng Gong was overjoyed, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "I am willing to be a sword for the Xianggong and a sea of fire, but please command!" ”
Liu Jing nodded and asked about the situation in Gaizhou.
"Gaizhou has Niu Wenzhong's heavy guards, eager to be unbreakable, Xianggong can first break its periphery, there is a plan dedicated to Xianggong, that Huguan Shandong has Baoqian Mountain, the guard general Tang Bin, was originally an officer in Pudong; He is brave and upright, his heart is in the imperial court, he is lonely and reluctantly obeys Tian Hu's orders, we can bypass Gaizhou, go there first to recruit this person, and strengthen the army. Geng Gong offered advice.
"General Geng's plan is very clever, so early tomorrow morning, we will send the pot to the gate, and you will take credit after the matter is completed." The lieutenant said. At night, he conspired with Qiao Daoqing alone.
Early the next morning, the elite cavalry of the Shenxiao Army was led by Geng Gong and took a detour to the direction of Huguan, while Qiao Daoqing left alone with a few people and disappeared.
Let's say that Tang Bin and his two subordinates Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye are stationed in Baoqian Mountain, frowning every day, just discussing the way out.
On this day, they drank together again, Wen Zhongrong said: "I have been waiting for a long time on the ridge, and Tian Hu's house does not supply grain and grass, seeing that winter is approaching, do you have to wait for starvation to death." ”
Cui Ye also said: "Yes, when I was a bandit, I could still rob some merchants, but now I have no trade routes, so I can't wait for it." ”
Tang Bin took a sip of sour wine and sighed: "Tian Hu is just a matter of trouble, but he shouldn't be called the king, in this way, how can the court tolerate him, he will send a large army to exterminate it, I will follow the jade and burn, I heard that Shandong Shenxiao Army is the best in the world and has good treatment, I want to go to the front, but where is the way." ”
The three of them were sighing, and a soldier came to say: "There is a visit from General Geng Gong at the foot of the mountain." ”
"Geng Gong guards Lingchuan, but what are you doing here?" Tang Bin was puzzled and asked to come up the mountain.
Geng Gong came to the mountain, saw the sad look, secretly happy in his heart, after the salute, followed by sit down and eat a few times, see the inquiry, then get up, straight to the point: "Geng Gong, the new counselor of the Shandong Shenxiao Army, is ordered by the captain to come to Zhao'an to join the gang!" ”
The three of them were shocked, knocked over the wine jar, and let the wine lie down the elm table, Tang Bin was dumbfounded: "When did Brother Tai join the Shenxiao Army?" ”
Geng Gong smiled slightly: "So that you can know that the general has been ordered to come to Hebei to suppress bandits, and I have led my troops to return to the Shuntian Army. ”
Tang Bin and the three of them glanced at each other and said in surprise: "Where is the Taiwei now?" ”
"It's five miles down the mountain."
"A certain person has the heart to obey the general, so bothered Counselor Geng to lead the way, and went down the mountain together to pay homage to the general and his old man."
After speaking, he hurriedly sorted out the military appearance, followed Geng Gong down the mountain, saw Liu Jing surrounded by the generals, knelt down and said: "I have long admired the power of Xianggong Shenwei, and I want to cast no way, but now I will not hesitate to take it in, I am happy to descend from the sky, and I am willing to be a pawn under the tent." ”
Seeing that the matter was successful, Taiwei smiled and comforted him, and followed Tang Bin and the others up to Baoqian Mountain.
