Chapter 880: Secret Alliance!
Cao Xuanhua's account has a distinguished guest today, and this distinguished guest is none other than Su Zhi, the southern general who was ordered by Long Lingxiu to go north.
Su Zhi went north to the Central Plains after encountering a visit to Jiangnan, and after several encounters with a wall, he could only return to Long Lingxiu, and now he went north as Long Lingxiu's envoy, originally he thought that this road would be very bleak and difficult.
What he didn't expect was that he secretly went north this way, and there were people receiving him along the way, and he was very attentive to all the hospitality, which made his originally dead heart rekindle again.
Long Lingxiu, this woman is not simple, she has already arranged it! Since this is the case, there is a great chance to go north this time, maybe Lu Zheng will really be restrained or even frustrated!
Thinking that Lu Zheng was going to leave Maicheng, Su Zhi was quite excited in his heart, he was really afraid of Lu Zheng, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him Su Zhi once Lu Zheng won the Central Plains.
So for Su Zhi, as long as he can defeat Lu Zheng, let him do anything. No, just now, Long Lingxiu flew a pigeon and passed a letter, asking him to try his best to win over Cao Weiming, and granted him the right to be arbitrary, and told him that he was responsible for all matters related to the negotiations in the north.
This made Su Zhi suddenly feel that she had rights, the north is very big, especially the northwest. Wen Songna of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Western Song Dynasty is also a hero-like figure, and Cao Weiming, who is facing him immediately, is not an easy person.
These people Long Lingxiu must not only entrap but also take precautions, and at present, Lu Zheng's army is pressing the realm, so it is natural to envelop these people. However, whether it is entrapment or prevention, Su Zhi now has all the decision-making power, which is enough to make Su Zhi feel excited and inflated.
Look at Cao Xuanhua, the leader of the Cao family, and now he is respectful to Su Zhi, which makes Su Zhi feel that vanity has been greatly satisfied, and when he and Cao Weiming meet, they are already full of confidence.
When Cao Weiming saw him, he saluted him and said, "Hebei General Cao Weiming has seen General Su!" ”
Su Zhi laughed and said: "Lord Cao, you are too polite, I heard your prestige when I was in Jiangnan, but unfortunately I have always been a friend, and today I saw that you are really a hero!"
It's a pity that this time the prince has fallen for the means of the surname Lu, and you are currently trapped here, if not, the prince will definitely be more prosperous! ”
Cao Weiming raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "General Su, the matter has come to this point, please be polite and useless, now I don't know if General Su can have a trick to help me get out of trouble!" ”
Su Zhi smiled and said, "The prince seems to be a person with an anxious personality!" Well, Su came here to serve the order of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess said that Su has the right to arbitrarily decide northern affairs. Don't hide it from the prince, Su's destination is the northwest, and Song Wensong, the main force in the northwest, controls the situation, and then quickly goes south, attacking Lu Zheng in the north and south, so that Lu Zheng can't take care of the front and back, so as to go to the wheat city in the Central Plains!
Being able to see the prince here is a coincidence! Prince, I won't ask about other things, I just ask the prince, is the prince loyal to the eldest princess? ”
Cao Weiming was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while. He Cao Weiming is under the guise of supporting the Great Qian Dynasty, but His Majesty the Great Qian Dynasty is Long Zhaoyan, can he say that he is loyal to Long Lingxiu?
He groaned for a while, after all, his brain was spinning fast, he quickly thought about it, now he has no way to break through, if he can't pass this catastrophe, he will be finished soon, and even his life will be gone, what ambition and future are you talking about?
In addition, Cao Weiming thought that he had reached this point, if Long Lingxiu really had the strength to get him out of trouble, then why should he follow Long Lingxiu?
Thinking of this, he said: "General Su, I don't know what kind of trick the general can have to break the siege at this time?" If the general can have a good strategy, I, Cao Weiming, can always be loyal to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the first to look forward! ”
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, it's good that General Cao has this sentence!" In that case, please also ask General Cao to hand over the talisman first, as long as the general hands over the talisman, this matter will be wrapped up on me! ”
Cao Weiming's face changed, and he said, "General Su, you are too anxious!" Is it difficult for the general to rely on empty mouth and white teeth to let Cao Weiming give up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the general? ”
Su Zhi snorted coldly and said, "Why does General Cao slap his swollen face and rush at the fat man like this?" In fact, the general knows that these tens of thousands of horses under your command will soon become tens of thousands of mouths that want to eat people!
If the general can't give them a way to live at this time, I'm afraid that they will be able to swallow you and eat you when they turn back, at this time, why are you still so entangled in that talisman? ”
Su Zhi paused and said, "That's it, I have a compromise idea, you give the talisman to Xuanhua, and you go to the northwest with me!" How about the army let Xuanhua master it? ”
Cao Weiming's face became more and more gloomy, he looked at his nephew, and already understood in his heart that his nephew, who had always been loyal, was actually no longer his person, and he had been running errands with Long Lingxiu all these years!
As soon as he thought of this, he was even more vigilant about Long Lingxiu, Cao Xuanhua has not shown the slightest abnormality for so many years, which shows that Long Lingxiu's layout is very long-term, and at a critical time, Cao Xuanhua exerts his strength, and what he gets is the Cao family's soldiers and horses!
In fact, now Cao Weiming is really cornered, Su Zhi is right, his 20,000 horses are no longer strength, and they will become a burden in an instant.
Even if Su Zhi didn't come, Cao Weiming couldn't advance now, and he couldn't retreat, under the dilemma, he could only sneak away by himself, as for the life and death of these tens of thousands of horses, where could he take care of it?
Staying in the green mountains is not worrying about running out of firewood, but it is important to save your life at the critical moment......
The atmosphere in the whole tent became rather eerie, unusually quiet, almost audible of a pin. Outside, the night was dark and silent. The tents of tens of thousands of people were dead and silent, and there was no sound.
This kind of tranquility is rare and precious, but can everyone really sleep in such a quiet night? How many people have trouble sleeping today?
Cao Weiming suddenly sighed and said: "Most of my soldiers and horses are my children from Hebei, they are brought out by me from Hebei, and they have parents, wives, brothers and sisters at home!" If everyone is buried here, what face will I Cao Weiming have to return to Hebei again?
Okay, Xuanhua, I'll hand over this army to you! I hope you can take this army out! ”
Cao Xuanhua was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and burst into tears, and said, "Xuanhua will definitely live up to his uncle's hard work!" ”
Su Zhi laughed and said, "Okay, General Cao is really a decisive and decisive person, since this is the case, then I can tell the general that the way out for the Hebei Army is in Bingzhou!" ”
Su Zhi pointed to Bingzhou and nodded fiercely on it, Cao Weiming said: "General Su, Bingzhou is not so easy to break!" And the state guard general Li Xiu is one of the eight King Kongs under Lu Zheng! The key is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let alone 20,000 horses, even if my men and horses are doubled, I can't be completely sure! ”
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Don't panic, general, please listen to me slowly!" Now it is naturally not easy to use 20,000 Hebei troops to take and merge the state, but since we go to the northwest to help Song Wensong, our first condition is that Song Wensong must immediately solve the danger of merging the state!
Song Wensong is now strong and strong, he has at least 50,000 elites in his hands, as long as he quickly moves south and merges the state, we will attack on both sides, so can Li Xiu's more than 10,000 men and horses be able to stop it?
Once the state is won, the door to the northwest will be opened, and we will help Song Wensong to unify the northwest, at that time, the wind behind Lu Zheng's butt will leak, and Liaodong and the Central Plains will be cut off from the middle, but I am afraid that Lu Zheng's wind of competing for the Central Plains will become impossible! ”
Su Zhi talked eloquently, that look really pointed out the country, not to mention how proud. Cao Weiming also nodded secretly when he heard this, in fact, Su Zhi's words were all said by mouth, and there was no bottom in his heart whether he could succeed or not. But for Cao Weiming in this matter, he is already in a state of complete despair, and a person in this state often only needs to have a glimmer of hope, a life-saving straw, which can make him feel great hope, and now Cao Weiming is like this.
The three of them negotiated, and in the early morning of the next day, Cao Weiming immediately convened officers at all levels above the captain level to enter the account for discussion, and this time Cao Weiming had a decadent posture, and immediately said:
"Brothers, there is great news that our rescuers are coming! Now the army is temporarily handed over to Xuanhua as the general, and all military affairs are coordinated by Xuanhua!
I and the eldest princess's envoy, General Su Zhi, set off immediately and secretly entered the northwest, at this time, the 50,000 troops of the northwest general Song Wensong have been prepared, and we only need to contact us, and he can immediately lead the army south and directly take the state!
We took the opportunity to go north and occupy the fortress of Bingzhou, and at that time, Lu Zheng's tail was cut off by us, and all of them are considered meritorious service, and Your Majesty and the eldest princess must have a heavy reward! ”
Cao Weiming is a hero after all, and this performance of the eyebrow flying dance is perfect, and the generals who were originally demoralized instantly became excited.
They are also the same as Cao Weiming, who doesn't want to hold on to it in despair? One by one, Cao Weiming expressed his support for a while, Cao Weiming handed over the talisman to Cao Xuanhua in front of everyone, worshiped Cao Xuanhua as the general, and then he and Su Zhi together, the two of them quickly set off, secretly rushed to the northwest, and went straight to the northwest through the trail.
At this time in the northwest, Song Wensong had received a handwritten letter from the eldest princess Long Lingxiu, Long Lingxiu gave Song Wensong an oath in her heart that she could help Song Wensong unify the northwest within two months, as long as Song Wensong promised that the northwest could quickly go south to the Central Plains after the unification of the northwest, the two could form an alliance.
Song Wensong has been anxious for a while, and after he won Yincheng, he can compete with the Song Wenjie brothers in terms of strength, but it is not easy to completely overwhelm Liangzhou, and the two sides are fighting fiercely, so the situation in the northwest is really worrying.
At this time, Long Lingxiu, who had been dormant, suddenly appeared, which was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and this news alone made Song Wensong overjoyed and danced happily:
"Wow, if you want to fall asleep, someone really sends a pillow! Heaven will not kill me Song Wensong, this thief God, now he is finally going to favor me once! ”
