Chapter 270: Meet Mubashaf Again
、、、、、、、、、、
Yu Ming said to them above: "If it is not bad as I expected, with Li Shimin's wisdom and Li Yuan's old treacherous slippery, he will soon send a large army to clear Li Shanfei in the eyes that is close at hand, especially those Li Xuanba's subordinates who fled back told him that after I am here, he must kill Li Shanfei as soon as possible, although I have already reminded Li Shanfei to gather all his troops in this city, and notified Li Mi to send troops to come to meet him." But it's hard to say whether he will be able to cope with the past. ”
Only then did the soldiers understand and sigh that their marshal was really far-sighted.
And just two days after they left, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng arrived with ten thousand Sui troops. This time, they were equipped with sufficient siege equipment, and all of them were elite soldiers from the original transfer.
Under Li Shimin's attack, although Li Shanfei also gathered 10,000 horses, he only defended for a few days before he was conquered. Fortunately, at this time, Li Mi led the army to respond, and Li Shanfei, with the help of Li Mi, finally broke through and escaped. And when Li Shimin saw Li Mi leading the army coming, he didn't dare to pursue him and let him leave.
After the war, Li Yuan recovered Hongnong County and Sannak County. And Li Mi got Li Shanfei's men and horses and returned to Xingyang safely. It's kind of to each according to what he needs.
And Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and others, after learning that Li Xuanba was killed by Yuming, were furious, and immediately ordered all the captured Liaodong Army soldiers and their families to be killed, and sent dozens of elite squads to kill Yuming all over the mountains. In particular, all exits to the outer counties were blocked.
It's just that they didn't expect that Yuming was already in Xiangyang, more than two miles away, at this time. At this time, he was at the Hanshui Wharf in the city, preparing to take a boat down the river to Jiangxia, and then change boats there to Jiangdu.
However, Yu Ming was obviously a little anxious, because the dock was empty, and there was not a single big boat. After asking a few people, he learned that it turned out that the Jianghuai bandit Du Fuwei had attacked Jiujiang on a large scale, and the ships on the entire Han River had been collected by the government to Jiangxia and transported troops to Jiujiang.
After Yuming learned the news, he couldn't help but be very frustrated, he didn't expect things to be so unlucky, and finally arrived in Xiangyang, but there was no boat.
At present, he only has two choices: one is to ride a horse along the Han River and make plans when he arrives in Jiangxia.
However, judging from the current situation of the battle between the Jianghuai army and the imperial court army in the Jiujiang area, it is already a place of right and wrong, and the army is in chaos. Whether it is the Sui army or the Jianghuai army, if they fall into their hands, it is estimated that the end will not be better.
And the second option is to enter Guanzhong through Tongguan to the west according to the previous plan, Yuvalve's power in the Guanlong area is strong, and he can get the help of his family there, which is conducive to escaping. It's just that where he wants to get, Li Yuan's father must also want to get it, and now when he goes to Tongguan, he must have set up a net waiting for him.
How can this be done? Yu Ming also fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a strange-toned, but familiar voice sounded: "Isn't this Yugong?" Why are you sighing here? ”
When Yu Ming heard this, he turned around and couldn't help but be surprised, because the person who came turned out to be a man wearing a white robe, a headband and a white turban. He was tall and had a big beard. Behind him were several attendants dressed in the same outfit as him.
"Mubashaf? It's you? Yuming never expected to meet his old acquaintance Mubashaf here.
"Yes! I should have come here two years ago, but the damned Byzantine Empire, the infidels vilely launched an attack on our subjects of Allah. Therefore, our country had to devote all its attention to fending off the attacks of these infidels. Now that the enemy's attack has finally been repelled, we can breathe a sigh of relief, so the contempt country sent me and Usa to the Great Sui again. Mubashaf gave a brief account of what was happening in his country.
Then, he hurriedly asked: "Yu Gong, when I arrived in Dunhuang, I met your master, General Li Jing, and he said that you have become the marshal of the Liaodong camp, and you have also destroyed the Goryeo Kingdom, and you have become the most important general of the Great Sui Emperor. But how did you end up in Xiangyang now? ”
After hearing this, Yuming did not answer him immediately, but said with a twinkle in his eyes: "My appearance here is also a very accidental factor, but I don't know why Lord Mubashaf came to Xiangyang when he went to the Eastern Capital?" ”
He was also a little curious that Mubashaf would appear here, and it stands to reason that this guy should go directly from Tongguan to Dongdu.
Mubashaf sighed and said, "I originally wanted to see an old man, who was the last time I came to the Central Plains, and it was not easy for me to develop into the religion. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Xiangyang City, he learned that he had been conscripted and sent to Liaodong when he was on an expedition to Goryeo the year before last, and his whereabouts are now unknown. So I was about to leave for the Eastern Capital when I stumbled upon you. ”
"Liaodong? What's the name of the person you're talking about? Maybe I can find it for you! Yu Ming smiled slightly.
Mubashaf suddenly said with a happy face: "How did I forget? You are the marshal of the Liaodong camp! I want you to help find someone, it's the perfect fit! Let's go! Let's go to the Eastern Capital together! When I'm done, I'll go to Liaodong with you! ”
Yu Ming acted at this time: "Now I don't dare to go to the Eastern Capital like this, if someone finds out that it is me, I will cause big trouble!" ”
"Oh? What's the trouble? Could it be that with your current talent and achievements, there are still people who dare to disadvantage you? "Mubashaf had apparently heard of Yuming's deeds as well.
"Mubashaf, when you first came to the Central Plains, you didn't know about the drastic changes in the Great Sui now, especially our Majesty, which has changed a lot! He became a little disobedient to advice, and went to trust some despicable villains, such as Pei Ju, Pei Yun and others...... As a result, if the people are not living today, bandits are rampant everywhere, and the countryside is full of white bones, you come from the Western Regions, through Ganliang, Longxi, and Guanzhong, you should have a deep understanding! Yu Ming sighed.
After hearing this, Mubashaf nodded, he had also seen and heard a lot of tragic things in the Central Plains, and he was also very touched by the current chaos of the Great Sui.
"Because some despicable villains have spread rumors in front of the Holy One, Your Majesty no longer trusts me. He wanted to transfer me back to the Eastern Capital to serve as a squire in the military department, and sent someone to Liaodong to take over my position. I originally planned to be a loyal minister, and when I returned to the Eastern Capital, I was left to his disposal. But my subordinates advised me not to be so stupid, because it is very likely that these traitors will harm your majesty and usurp power after they harm me. Therefore, I think that we should still keep a useful body to deal with a traitorous minister! "Yu Ming made up a half-truth and half-truth.
When Mubashaf heard this, he was convinced, because the court struggle between them was also fierce. In the Great Food Dynasty, there was also a group of "traitorous ministers" who spoke ill of him in front of the king, which made him hate him. Hearing Yu Ming say this, he spontaneously felt a sense of sympathy.
"Good! Yugong, this kind of chaotic thief, our subjects of Allah also hate it very much! You say: What do you want me Mubashaf to help me with? He asked indignantly.
Yu Ming was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately hit the snake and said, "Lord Mubashaf, I don't have any other requirements, I just hope that you can escort me to the Liyang Realm." ”
Liyang was already in the control area of the Wagang army, and the Sui army was no longer able to pursue it. Although Zhai Rang and Li Mi may also be unfavorable to him, it is impossible for them to send someone to arrest him. Yuming can go north to Hebei and return to Liaodong through Beiping, or go east to Jiangdu and return to Liaodong by sea.
Mubashaf thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He smiled and said, "Marshal Yu, fortunately, you met me, and I'm afraid I won't dare to promise to change someone." Because since you and your men have been framed by traitors, surely he will send people around to find you...... But you're lucky, this time there is a master of disguise from Persia in my envoys, who can easily transform you and your men so that others will not recognize you! ”
Yu Ming was overjoyed, this was what he was most worried about. Originally, he was thinking about whether to hide in the cargo box of Mubashaf's cart and get through the customs in a fool's way. But since this big food envoy said that there was a master of disguise, then he naturally saved these troubles.
After the group returned to the inn where Mubashaf was staying, Mubashaf ordered his subordinate to come out and transfigurate Yuming and the others.
This master of disguise from Persia is really funny in his hands, and I don't know what materials he used to make it. Yu Ming's fair-skinned and handsome appearance turned out to be a dark-faced teenager. And the appearance of more than a dozen of his personal soldiers has also changed greatly, even if they stand next to the portrait of Tongji at the gate of the city, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Sui army will not recognize them.
……
In September, the eastern capital was drizzling, and now the midsummer has passed, the weather has begun to cool, the rain has gradually increased, and the Central Plains has entered the season of continuous autumn rain. And the mood of Yang Guang and the ministers in the court was also the same as this weather, which was terrible.
The previous plan carefully planned by Li Yuan to capture Yuming and his subordinates has been declared a complete failure, not only failed to catch Yuming, but also compensated his daughter Li Xiuning and his son Li Xuanba, and his soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties.
Moreover, just a few days ago, Liaodong had already issued an edict to the world, saying that Yuming had returned to Liaodong safely, and Chen Ling "died of illness", so all the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army and the officials of the six counties agreed that Yuming, the marshal of the Liaodong camp, would take over the military and political power of Liaodong. At the same time, it was claimed that Pei Ju, Pei Yun and others were traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people. They want to "clear the king's side and traitorous ministers", so they listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement.
In this way, the imperial court has openly torn up its face with Liaodong.
Yang Guang didn't know that this was a smokescreen set by Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others, so that the imperial court would think that Yuming had fled back to Liaodong and give up the pursuit of him. In order to allow the missing Yuming to return safely, he thought that his arrest operation had completely failed, so he was furious.
