709,Battle of the Daimyofu (25)
Yao Gu has fought all his life, and several times he has been isolated and helpless surrounded by the enemy, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his career as a horse warrior with nine deaths, and he can be ranked as one of the four generals of the Northwest Forbidden Army today, but it is not all because he is the representative of the Yao family, and he can fight with a knife and a gun!
Those who are familiar with Yao Gu know that he is the most mysterious and unpredictable person among the four marshals in the northwest, when Tong Guan led the northwest for more than ten years, he was like a soil emperor in the northwest, whether he wanted to or not, most of the Northwest generals chose to attach themselves to Tong Guan, or at least they should be polite and respectful to Tong Guan, and the face that should be given will definitely be given.
But only he, Yao Gu, dared to do it against Tong Guan, what was the specific reason why Yao Gu hated Tong Guan so much, no one knows, in short, Yao Gu did not embarrass Tong Guan, but this is not the most surprising, with Tong Guan's temper, how could he let Yao Gu go? But the fact is that Tong Guan really didn't or couldn't do anything Yao Gu! Although most of the Yao family has been suppressed by Tong Guan, it is still one of the best families in the northwest! Yao Gu is also one of the four major generals in the northwest!
What does this mean? This shows that Yao Gu and the Yao family's secret forces in the northwest are even feared by powerful ministers like Tong Guan! So some people say that the low-key Yao family is the most powerful one among all the Northwest Jiangmen families! And Yao Gu is also the uncrowned king of the northwest!
But Rao is such a number one person, and his recent days have been spent in torment, and the two things that happened one after another almost drove him crazy.
First of all, the coach Zheng Xiunian was captured, and he was so anxious that he really wanted to scold his mother, because he had persuaded Zheng Xiunian several times that as the commander-in-chief, he must focus on the overall situation, don't run to the front line all the time, how can he not get his shoes wet when he walks by the river? But Zheng Xiunian didn't listen, he had to go to the front line to inspect the labor army in person, Yao Gu was helpless, he didn't understand, why did the Great Song Dynasty not trust the generals? When I was in the northwest, I sent a eunuch, and here I sent a scholar who hadn't even fought a day's battle, with these people pressing on his head, even if he was a great general, what opportunity could he display his talents?
As a result, it didn't stop for a few days, and he hadn't completely made up for the consequences caused by Zheng Xiunian's capture, but something happened again, and all three hundred loyal guards were killed in battle, and Uncle Zhang's whereabouts were unknown! When he got the news that day, according to the entourage next to him afterwards, his face was simply unbearable, as if he was going to kill someone!
Uncle Zhang is a minister! Whoever happens to the minister will be responsible! What's more, it's still in such a sensitive and critical period! Yao Gu was so remorseful that his intestines were blue, and when he knew that it was Zhang Shuye who had disobeyed his orders and had to approach the front line, he was even more furious! Now he finally understands why it is said that "scholars mislead the country", one Zheng Xiunian, one Zhang Shuye, two scholars who don't listen to him are not only misleading the country, but also "misleading people", and he is the one who is wrong! Because the imperial court doesn't care about what happened to Zheng Xiunian and Zhang Shuye, the imperial court only knows that he is the deputy marshal, and the commander is on the front line, why can you, the deputy marshal, be in the rear? The minister is on the front line, why are you, the deputy marshal, still in the rear?
And the impact of Zhang Shuye's capture is not limited to this, the boss has just had an accident, and the imperial court's Qincha has another accident, how will the world think about this if it is to be spread? He finally just appeased the Liaoxia army that was restless because Zheng Xiunian was captured, and Uncle Zhang had an accident again, how else could he explain?
Therefore, Yao Gu racked his brains to give the court a twist, trying to explain Uncle Zhang's affairs clearly and reduce the impact on himself. On the one hand, he ordered everyone who knew about Uncle Zhang's night affairs to keep their mouths shut and never leak any news to the outside world!
Fortunately, the place where Uncle Zhang had an accident was in a deserted wilderness, and Uncle Zhang had just arrived, and there were not many people who knew him, so the news control was quite successful, and within three days after Yao Gu gave the order, there was no news inside and outside the entire Daimyo's Mansion at all.
But the good times didn't last long, just two days ago, something went wrong, just like a demonic wind, the entire Daimyo Mansion began to spread frantically almost overnight Rumors that Uncle Zhang, the minister of the Imperial Mission, had an accident at night!
Yao Gu was furious when he learned about it, and immediately ordered a strict investigation into who leaked the news!
To Yao Gu's surprise, the results of the investigation were quickly presented to him, and it was actually a thick stack of paper, there were hundreds of sheets, each paper was exactly the same size, thickness and even material, and each piece of paper was also printed with the same content, detailing the news of the accident of the minister Zhang Shuye!
According to investigators, the paper was spilled all over the streets of the Daimyo's Mansion overnight, and now almost the entire Daimyo's Mansion has seen it, but they have only found so much of it, and many more are still scattered in the corners of the city or in the hands of ordinary people.
This time it was Yao Gu's turn to be puzzled, it was obvious that this was an organized operation, and the purpose was to make Uncle Zhang's accident happen all over the city!
So who would do that?
Yao Gu's first thought was what the thief did, but why did the thief do it? Are they showing off? Is it a provocation? Or do you want to deliberately cause chaos on your side and disturb people's hearts? Or is there some bigger conspiracy?
Yao Gu really couldn't understand that Zheng Linfeng more and more, since Zheng Xiunian was captured, he thought that Zheng Linfeng would make any big moves immediately, but the entire army of thieves and robbers was even calmer, and even the harassment from time to time in the past was gone, but this time Zheng Linfeng made such a big show, what was he doing?
Yao Gu's intuition told him that he was afraid that something terrible was about to happen, but he had no clue what it was, so he had to order the whole army to raise the spirit of the twelve, and always watch out for the movements of the thieves.
And he didn't expect that the next action on the thief's side was only to send a .......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On this day, Yao Gu was handling military affairs in the Daimyo's Mansion, when suddenly a personal soldier came to report, saying that a person had come outside, claiming to be your old friend in the northwest, and gave a token, saying that you will know at a glance.
After that, the soldiers presented a thing in front of Yao Gu,
Yao Gu picked it up and found that it was a bronze medal, and then turned the bronze medal to the back to take a look, Yao Gu couldn't help but be surprised, only to see a big "seed" engraved behind the token, he immediately recognized that this was a kind of thing! That Northwest Planter Thing!
Since it was a person from a family, Yao Gu naturally couldn't slack off, and immediately ordered the guards to welcome that person in, and in the process of waiting, the doubts in Yao Gu's heart were one after another,
This time, the Northwest Army came here, because of the relationship between the capture of the Seed Master Dao, in order to prevent the Seed Master Dao from treason and defection to the enemy like Liu Fa, so the Northwest Army does not include the Seed Family and the Seed Family Army. Who will be the one who will come?
After a while, I saw a few soldiers from the outside to bring in a man dressed in cloth, it turned out to be a sturdy man, this person obviously recognized Yao Gu, came in and respectfully bowed to Yao Gu, and from the way of saluting, it was a kind of family Yes, and then listen to the accent, it is a ten-thousand-year-old local accent,
But Yao Gu was stunned for a moment, because he only felt that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere, and he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember which one of the farmers he was for a while.
"Your Excellency is ......?" Yao Gu asked politely,
The man smiled and said, "The villain is humble, it is natural that you don't recognize it, the villain wants to ask the adult to recall, two years ago, my family invited the adult to eat wine in Xi'an, the ...... who danced the sword in the hall to cheer up,"
Before the words were finished, Yao Gu had already thought about it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Are you ...... Brother Seed's ......? ”
The man nodded, "It's the villain, the villain Zhong Lin has seen the adult." ”
Yao Gu nodded, but he was already extremely shocked in his heart, because the person in front of him was none other than Zhong Minglin, the personal guard of the Seed Master's Dao!
Half a year ago, the seed master road and the 50,000 kinds of family army he led were all wiped out in the battle of Jingdong Road, it is said that no one escaped, either died in battle or became a prisoner of the thief, even the seed master dao has only heard that he was captured by the thief, but in fact, life and death have always been a mystery, and this Zhong Lin as the personal guard of the seed master Tao naturally could not escape, so how could he come to find himself today? Why does he have a kind of teacher's token?
With one question after another, Yao Gu looked at Zhong Lin with doubts, full of questions but didn't know where to start, but Zhong Lin reacted first, only to see him look at a few guards on the left and right, and then at Yao Gu, the meaning was obvious, it was to ask Yao Gu to retreat left and right,
Yao Gu felt even more strange in his heart now, and of course he wouldn't do it, so he said, "They are all people that the old man can trust, if you have something to say, it doesn't matter." ”
Zhong Lin nodded, and then said, "My family lord asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yao Gu was immediately shocked, and his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You...... You said...... Brother ...... he? ”
Zhong Lin nodded,
Did the Master Dao send him to find him? Isn't the seed master a captive of the thieves? How could he ......? Thinking of this, Yao Gu's heart was suddenly startled, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be...... The way of the seed master has ......?! He tried to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "What about ...... Where is the seed brother now? Also, he's ...... Do what? ”
Zhong Lin replied with a comfortable face, "If you say that Lord Hui, my lord is in Weizhou Mansion, and now he is the commander of the fifteenth army of the Great Song Heavenly Dao Army!" ”
Yao Gu's face changed dramatically......!
