Chapter 70: Exposed, Exposed, Exposed
Several people met here, although Chen Ziqian's strategy was good, but after all, it was only on paper, and it still depended on how Le Jinghui implemented it.
"With our current situation, the loss of troops will be inevitable, and in this case, we must find a way to exchange the minimum cost for the maximum benefit." Chen Ziqian said with a serious face: "After successfully capturing Guanxian, the general will add oil and vinegar to report more battle losses, pretend to have heavy losses, and let Zeng Yuanqi send the main force to attack Lelin." ”
"The lord can rest assured, with this good plan, he will go all out." Le Jinghui was in high spirits, and was once again impressed by Chen Ziqian's talent, and his favorability directly exceeded 100, and he successfully reached a first-level bond with Chen Ziqian.
Chen Ziqian was also quite satisfied with this, stood up and stretched: "Once Zeng Yuanqi sends troops to attack Lelin, we can start to recover Yong'an and Pingyong counties, and completely cut off Zeng Yuanqi's retreat!" ”
"The lord is wise, and at the same time he takes Guanxian, not only can he flank Zeng Yuanqi when he uses troops against Lelin, but also prevent Lelin from taking advantage of the situation to commit Pingyong after Zeng Yuanqi loses power, a clever plan!" Lin Xiaodao's eyes lit up, both excited and expectant.
After listening to the deployment before and after, Le Yingqing was also quite interested in arranging the troops, and even immersed in the deduction of details.
"The general will go back and deploy first, and I can't come out for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion." Chen Ziqian briefly explained a few words, and asked Le Jinghui to send someone over in time to ask for instructions if he had any problems.
"Humble and respectful!" Le Jinghui got up to see him off, and in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't want to leave with him.
Chen Ziqian nodded and walked out of the wine shop with Lin Xiaodao.
It's just that they are afraid of whatever they want, and as soon as the two of them came out of the wine shop, they bumped into the person they didn't want to bump into.
Zhao Wengong, who was patrolling the city with guards, happened to pass by the wine shop on a horse, and the two sides collided at the gate.
The corners of Chen Ziqian's mouth twitched a few times, and he secretly scolded Zhao Wengong in his heart, saying that he would not appear sooner or later, but he would appear at this time.
Could it be that he or Le Jinghui were eyeing him early in the morning?
Chen Ziqian's mind turned sharply, although he was a little caught off guard, but he still arched his hand respectfully: "Xiaguan has seen my lord." ”
"Chen County Order, you don't train in the big camp outside the city, what are you doing in the city?" Zhao Wengong was obviously a little surprised by Chen Ziqian's appearance.
Chen Ziqian straightened up, his expression was a little embarrassed, and even a little bit of a thief: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"
A sentence was in his mouth, and Chen Ziqian analyzed Zhao Wengong's reaction for the first time.
Obviously, this encounter was indeed just a coincidence, otherwise Zhao Wengong would not have reacted like this.
It's a lot easier.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ziqian simply pretended to admit it, and knelt down directly and said: "Xia Guan slept with the army all the way, and when he saw that Pingyong successfully conquered it, he didn't hold back his appetite, and left his post without approval, and asked the adults to be lenient." ”
"Desertion?" Zhao Wengong looked at this wine shop, and then glanced at Chen Ziqian, who was flushed, it seemed that he had not drunk too much wine.
Chen Ziqian said with a look of grievance: "The lower official is guilty!" ”
"Get up!" Zhao Wengong shook his head, a little disappointed in Chen Ziqian.
A teenager is a teenager after all, he has only been with the army for more than half a month and deserted, although the conditions in the barracks are a little harder, but you don't need to go into battle in person, you can't even endure this hardship, what can you do in the future?
"Go back and receive the punishment consciously!" Zhao Wengong was too lazy to ask, after all, Chen Ziqian was still Han Sheng's subordinate now, and it had little to do with him.
And Chen Ziqian is insignificant in the camp, this kind of trivial matter, it is not in line with his identity to pull it in, and he slowly led the team away on a horse.
Chen Ziqian bowed and didn't dare to raise his head, and only when Zhao Wengong walked away did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't forget to make an indecent gesture when he raised his hand.
Lin Xiaodao was a little crying and laughing beside him, and he didn't forget to ask when he led the war horse: "I just met Zhao Wengong here, there won't be any problems with the plan, right?" ”
"There's nothing you can do if something goes wrong." Chen Ziqian turned over and got on the horse, his face looked a little ugly.
I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I met someone who was not good, but I met Zhao Wengong, a dog who was full of trickery.
Fortunately, this period of time has been low-key enough recently, and he has not shown any hindsight, even if Zhao Wengong really wants to trouble him, there is not enough evidence, and it will definitely take a lot of time to investigate, and there will be no trouble for the time being.
"Let's go!" Chen Ziqian took the lead in galloping away, and Lin Xiaodao hurriedly followed.
Soon after the two left, the Le Jinghui brothers and sisters cautiously walked out of the wine shop.
It's just that they have all kept a low profile to this point, but in the end, they still haven't escaped Zhao Wengong's ears and eyes.
"You see clearly, that person is really Le Jinghui?" Zhao Wengong, who was still patrolling the city, heard the report that the eyeliner came back, and his pupils immediately narrowed slightly.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the encounter with Chen Ziqian, and when he left, he just arranged for a subordinate to watch it, but he didn't expect to catch such a big fish.
That's Le Jinghui, who has just surrendered and been appointed as the former army commander, at this time, he is not in the barracks to deploy the expedition, what is he going to do in the wine shop?
Drink?
How can it be?
There is a ban on alcohol in the barracks, and as the chief general, Le Jinghui has been in command of the army for many years, how can he do such a thing by defying the law.
This doesn't make sense!
So what exactly does Le Jinghui do when he goes to the wine shop?
Zhao Wengong had the city government in his heart, so he connected Chen Ziqian and Le Jinghui together after a little thought, and then confirmed it after a little inquiry from Xiao Er, a wine shop.
But what connection can there be between a veteran commander who has just surrendered and an incompetent young man who has nothing to show for himself?
"Check! Send someone to keep an eye on Chen County's order for me, I want to know what he has done and said during this time, and who he has been in contact with, in detail, and no one is allowed to be left behind! Zhao Wengong looked serious, recalling that he had been in contact with Chen Ziqian a few times, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
If Chen Ziqian really pretended to be crazy and stupid from the beginning, then this person ......
Zhao Wengong took a deep breath, not daring to think deeply at all.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Le Jinghui, in accordance with Zeng Yuanqi's order, personally led an army of 40,000 out of the east gate and went straight to Guanxian.
The relationship between this battle is important and far-reaching, and the success or failure is directly related to the fate of the three forces, and no one can predict what the final result will be, even Chen Ziqian, who controls the overall situation behind his back.
And because of Zhao Wengong's sudden intervention, Chen Ziqian's current situation has also become quite passive, and his life may even be in danger at any time.
At the same time as Le Jinghui sent troops, Lin Xiaodao came to the camp to report that last night, two people from the Shadow Guard disappeared mysteriously.
Obviously, Zhao Wengong has already started to make a move, and he is directly attacking the guards around Chen Ziqian.
What he wanted to do was self-evident.
Lin Xiaodao was a little panicked, they were now in the enemy camp, once the wolf's ambition was exposed, Zeng Yuanqi would be able to slaughter their two thousand men and horses in minutes.
Chen Ziqian's heart also made waves, but anyone can mess up, and he, the lord, must not mess up.
"Zhao Wengong, this dog thing, if you don't make a move, you just want to scare Lao Tzu to death as soon as you make a move." Chen Ziqian squinted his eyes slightly, the Shadow Guard was his personal guard, and any rumor was enough for him to drink a pot.
Since returning from the north, he has been busy dealing with various things, completely ignoring the Shadow Guard assessment, and I don't know what the specific situation of the two people who were arrested.
Lin Xiaodao has a hand in training soldiers, but Shadow Guard is an extraordinary soldier, not only requiring excellent physical and psychological quality, but also 100% loyalty.
In other aspects, Chen Ziqian is not worried, but once he is sentenced, who can guarantee that he will not let go?
You must know that in this feudal society with no human rights, interrogation methods are used to the extreme.
Once you fall into the hands of the enemy, sometimes it is difficult to die.
"What should we do now, although the Shadow Guard doesn't know much about what the lord has done, but if he shakes it out, it can make the lord irreversible, so he has to guard against it." Lin Xiaodao was anxious to turn around, and finally simply said: "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the incident has not happened yet, and we will strike first?" ”
"You calm down first, Zhao Wengong obviously deliberately scared Lao Tzu this time, and wanted Lao Tzu to mess up and expose his flaws first, but he thought it was quite beautiful." Although Chen Ziqian was worried in his heart, he was much calmer than Lin Xiaodao: "It's been a night, and Zhao Wengong didn't do it immediately, which means that he didn't get any clues, or he lacked enough reasons to do it, so we shouldn't have any trouble for the time being." ”
"Lord!" Lin Xiaodao knelt down and said: "The Lord is in great danger, now is not the time to worry about these, if you don't do it as soon as possible, then withdraw, no matter what, it is too dangerous for the Lord to continue to stay here, we can't take this risk." ”
"Don't act rashly! Wouldn't it be more accurate to withdraw now? Chen Ziqian shook his head, although it is dangerous to stay, but if you dare to leave now, you will die faster: "The more times like this, the more calm you must be, since Zhao Wengong has already set his sights on me, then I will personally go to meet him!" ”
