Chapter 506: A Chance Encounter in Yongxian County
Lang Can has already opened the gold medal pattern book issued by Zhu Jun, Hao Tong's gold medal should weigh three taels or six coins, the top is a moire beast head, the front is engraved with the word 'Summoned', and the back is engraved with 'Lintao Hao Tong'.
The weight, pattern and lettering are all completely consistent, and Lang Can said with a smile: "There is no problem with the pass card, I will open the door!" ”
Hao Tong snorted heavily, but didn't say a word.
This General Hao has a big temper! Lang Can hurriedly ordered: "Open the door!" ”
The drawbridge rumbled down, the city gate slowly opened, and Hao Tong waved his hand, "Enter the city!" ”
The cavalry team drove towards the city, Lang Can was waiting at the city gate, he handed the gold medal to Hao Tongxiao and asked: "Last year, there were no cavalry in the Lintao army, why did it increase by a few thousand this year?" ”
The soldier pretending to be Hao Tong only practiced a few words, and didn't dare to say more, Hao Tong's unique male duck voice was difficult to learn, he took the gold medal, snorted coldly, and continued to ride forward.
Lang Can was stunned for a moment, what's going on? Hao Tong used to see himself very stuttering, but today he seems to be a different person.
Thinking of changing a person, Lang Can felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Hao Tong's back carefully, he finally found that something was wrong, Hao Tong's shoulders were particularly broad, and this 'Hao Tong''s shoulders collapsed downward.
"There is fraud!"
Suddenly, he shouted and ordered, "Close the gates!" ”
As soon as the words fell, an arrow 'whoosh!' The ground shot, the speed was incomparably fast, Lang Can couldn't dodge, an arrow hit him in the throat, Lang Can covered his throat and fell.
Guo Song held a bow and arrow in his hand and shouted: "Kill into the city!" ”
Thousands of cavalry shouted and slaughtered the pass........
The guards of the Great Earthquake Pass will be killed, the soldiers are not the opponents of the Hexi Army cavalry at all, a touch of defeat, scattered and fled, the cavalry quickly surrounded the large camp behind the pass, the soldiers in the large camp were caught off guard, under the stern order of the Hexi cavalry, they raised their hands out of the camp and surrendered.
In just half an hour, in addition to the more than 400 soldiers who escaped, the remaining 2,500 soldiers of the Fengxiang Army became prisoners of war, this time Guo Song did not use the previous dismissal method, he released all the more than 30 generals, including the brigade commander, and ordered them to return to Chang'an to report to Zhu Jun.
The rest of the soldiers were reorganized, and the cavalry of the Hexi Army served as brigade commanders and above generals, so that this army became the Hexi Army, and Guo Song left 500 cavalry with them to continue to garrison the Great Earthquake Pass and defend their own retreat.
The storehouse of the Fengxiang army had enough food and other supplies, and after the Hexi army had a full meal, Guo Song led 4,000 cavalry to continue to advance eastward.
On the afternoon of the next day, Guo Song's army arrived in Yongxian, Yongxian is the government of Fengxiang Mansion, and it is also the location of Fengxiang Jiedu Mansion, there are no soldiers in the city at present, only more than 300 township soldiers guarding the city.
Yin Li Shuguang of Fengxiang Mansion led the officials to personally greet the arrival of Guo Song, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, at the city gate.
The cavalry entered the military camp in the city to rest, and Li Shuguang accompanied Guo Song to the palace. King Peng ascended the throne as the new emperor in Chang'an. ”
Guo Song was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What about the Son of Heaven?" ”
Li Shuguang shook his head and sighed: "I just don't know!" It is rumored that he went to Hanzhong first and then to Chengdu, but now the situation is very chaotic, and everyone does not know what to do. ”
Guo Song thought for a while and said, "Did the new monarch of Chang'an send an envoy over?" ”
"I heard that it has been sent, but it hasn't come to me yet, so I guess it will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"What are the plans of that Fu Yin, is he willing to accept Chang'an's summons?" Guo Song asked again.
"Frankly I don't know, I'm restless these days, I just don't know what to do, can Guo Yuanjun give me a good suggestion?"
Guo Song smiled slightly: "Actually, Li Fuyin has no choice, if Fuyin refuses to accept the summons, he can only abandon the official and flee to Chengdu." ”
Li Shuguang hesitated and said, "If Guo Yuanjun can defend the city with me, maybe he can wait until the day when Chang'an is recovered." ”
Guo Song said apologetically: "If Zhu Zhu's army arrives, I can only retreat to the Great Earthquake Pass, otherwise the enemy army will directly attack the Great Earthquake Pass and cut off my retreat, if Li Fuyin is willing to go to the Great Earthquake Pass with me, it is okay, secondly, my army is cavalry, not good at defending the city, give up their own advantages, and defend Yongxian, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”
Li Shuguang showed a look of disappointment on his face, so he had to sigh and say, "For the sake of the people of Fengxiang, I can only take one step at a time." ”
Li Shuguang didn't want to abandon his official position and run away, he knew in his heart that his value was Fengxiang Mansion Yin, and if he lost this official position, he was nothing.
Guo Song came out of the mansion, and Yang Xiu stepped forward and said, "Envoy, someone in the military camp is looking for him, saying that he escaped from Chang'an." ”
Guo Song hurriedly came to the temporary barracks, the soldiers were having dinner, in a big tent, Guo Song saw his guests, he couldn't have imagined that the person who came was Xiangguo Li Yu.
"Why is Sangkook here?" Guo Song was surprised.
Li Mi smiled bitterly and said: "It's a long story, I'm so hungry, you can get me some food first, and my wife and children are in the big tent next door, please." ”
Guo Song hurriedly arranged for his own soldiers to send food to Li Mi's wife and children, he and Li Mi sat down, and the personal soldiers also served them wine and food.
Li Mi was indeed hungry, and devoured a bowl of rice first, and then motioned to Guo Song to pour him a glass of wine.
"Because of the hot weather, my family and I moved to the garden house outside the city, the night of the rebellion just escaped a catastrophe, my third son Li Chan served as the lieutenant of Xianyang County, I and my wife hid in him for a while, and then Zhu Zhu's men took over Xianyang, my son was afraid that he would not be able to run out, so he abandoned the official and took us to the west, but the road encountered a rout, robbed our money cleanly, and the son's horse was also robbed, leaving only a bunch of books and a broken ox cart, the ox cart was still rented, I wanted to come to Yongxian to ask Li Shuguang to borrow some money, but I heard that you are here, So I came in. ”
"Is Xiangguo going to Bashu?" Guo Song asked again.
Li Mi shook his head, "I don't want to go for the time being, if the Son of Heaven listens to me, it won't be like this, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed in the Son of Heaven, so I want to find a quiet place to study and cultivate." ”
After a pause, Li Mi said again: "I plan to go to Kongtong Mountain." ”
Guo Song thought for a while and smiled: "Xiangguo doesn't want to go to Dunhuang to have a look?" It was a Buddhist resort, so I rested in Zhangye for a few months, and then I sent someone to escort Xiangguo to Dunhuang. ”
Li Mi is proficient in the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and he just wants to escape the world now, and he doesn't have to go to Kongtong Mountain.
Li Mi pondered for a moment and said, "Then what about my old wife?" ”
"Live in my house, and my wife will take care of her."
The most difficult thing for Li Mi now is that he doesn't know how to settle his wife and children, and Guo Song's suggestion really makes him tempted.
He pondered for a moment and said, "So be it! Let my son Li Chan be a staff member for you, he was a jinshi last year, and he was a lieutenant of Xianyang County for a year, and he is still quite capable, and he will take care of his mother, so I can rest assured. ”
Guo Song happily agreed, Li Mi's heart finally fell, and he drank two more glasses of wine and asked, "Is the envoy leading the army ready to fight Zhu Zhu?" ”
Guo Song groaned and said: "I'm also a little confused now, the Son of Heaven announced to the world and asked all the armies to serve the king, but now that he is going to Bashu, do you want me to rush to Bashu?" ”
"You're right, the Son of Heaven's original intention was to ask your army to go to his side and obey his unified arrangement, of course, you can also fight with Zhu Zhu in Guanzhong and overthrow Zhu Zhu and the puppet monarch, but I want to remind you that you are likely to be displeasing to both ends."
"Why?" Guo Song asked puzzled.
"There are smart people around Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zhu has abolished the two tax laws, and also promised to distribute land to landless peasants, which has been widely supported in Guanzhong, you and Zhu Zhu start a war, first the people of Guanzhong will resist you, and then the Son of Heaven ordered you to go to the king of Bashu Qin, do you go or not? If you definitely won't go, then the Son of Heaven will also be dissatisfied with you, which is what I call a two-pleasing one. ”
Guo Song nodded silently, Li Yu's analysis and his own thought went together, if the Son of Heaven is still in Ju County, he can go to King Qin, but the Son of Heaven is no longer in Jun County, what is the point of him being King Qin?
"Can Sangkook give me a suggestion?"
"I suggest that you wait and see in the Fengxiang garrison, you can attack Chang'an, retreat can return to Hexi, and there is food and grass security, I am not against your loyalty and patriotism, but the situation in front of you is confusing, it is best not to act rashly, and it is the best policy to wait and see what happens."
