588, Pingding Xijing (2)
On August 25, the crown prince Zhao Huan rushed to the front line in Xijing, and three days later arrived at the location of the central army of the Jingxi Army, and met the two Jiawang Zhao Kai and Tong Guan who came to greet them in front of the barracks, as well as the generals of the Jingxi Army and the Western Army.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All the generals salute together,
The prince waved his hand, "Generals, please get up." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Kai with a smile,
"Big brother, you're here." King Jia said enthusiastically,
"Alas, I haven't seen my third brother for half a year, you are so thin, your father and princess Wang Guifei should be sad when they see you when you go back." The prince behaved like a big brother,
"The younger brother is really ashamed, he has betrayed his father's trust, and he has to involve the eldest brother to clean up the mess for the younger brother." King Jia said with guilt on his face,
"Hey, where is the third brother, it is our brother's bounden duty to share the worries of our father, and it is the same as you no matter who does it." The prince also persuaded with sincerity,
The brothers looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that the relationship was really good, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like they were in vain.
Only then did Tong Guan kneel down to the prince and say, "The old minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince." But before his knees hit the ground, the prince had already stepped forward to help him up and said with a concerned smile, "The prince doesn't need to be polite, you have to lead the troops to fight at such an old age, it's really hard for you." ”
Tong Guan's face darkened, "Alas, the old minister is old, he messed up this errand, the old minister is really incompetent, he really has no shame to go back and face the saint!" ”
The prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "Taishi is too worried, you and the third brother have not failed, if it weren't for the shameless Xia Lu threatening the northwest, the Taishi and the third brother are afraid that they have already quelled the rebellion of the thieves without any worries, and the father also understands this, but in order to calm the dissatisfaction of the imperial history and the people in the court, he had to withdraw the Taishi and the third brother, speaking of which, the Taishi and the third brother were wronged!" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Tong Guan's eyes, but he immediately reacted and hurriedly shouted at the prince in fear.
King Jia hurriedly said, "Let's go, big brother, you have a hard journey, and we have prepared delicious food and wine for you." ”
The crown prince nodded, "Master, third brother, let's talk while walking, you have to explain the current detailed battle situation to this king before leaving." ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before they reached the place where the banquet was held, Tong Guan and King Jia had already introduced the current situation of the enemy and us to the prince.
On the whole, the current situation of the war is extremely unfavorable to the Jingxi Army, the Western Army is leaving, before the Qishan Army arrives, the situation faced by the Jingxi Army will be very unfavorable, this is not over, Tong Guan also said three bad news to the prince,
The first bad news was three days ago, Fangshan bandits suddenly launched a sneak attack, and as a result, the Jingxi army was not prepared enough to be defeated, and the Fangshan bandits occupied three important strongholds, those three strongholds are easy to defend and difficult to attack, when Tong Guan commanded the Western Army and the Jingxi Army, it took a great price to capture, and now it has fallen into the hands of the thieves again, and if you want to take it back, you don't know how much you have to pay!
The second bad news happened the day before yesterday, a Fangshan bandit army quietly broke through the front line of the Jingxi Army, and even let them go deep into the Chinese army less than thirty miles before they were discovered, and they were almost succeeded by their sneak attack on the Chinese army camp, although they finally drove them away, but regrettably, a grain storage place of the Jingxi Army was attacked by them and burned a large amount of grain and grass!
The third bad news is even closer, that is, yesterday's incident, the armory of the Jingxi Army was attacked again, and no less than 10,000 weapons of all kinds were lost!
Tong Guan said that, he and King Jia thought that the prince would be furious, but unexpectedly, the prince just frowned slightly and nodded, not only was he not angry, but he even persuaded Tong Guan and King Jia to look at the point, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, don't always worry about it.
The prince's performance was completely beyond Tong Guan's expectations, somehow, he suddenly felt that the prince in front of him was so strange, like a person he had never seen before, because he seemed to have suddenly developed an inexplicable self-confidence, this confidence made Tong Guan's heart a little uneasy, but he immediately threw this idea out of his mind, what kind of person the prince is is not clear? The prince is just trying to save face, and the prince's true heart must have gone crazy now!
"You just pretend," Tong Guan sneered in his heart, "The old man wants to see how you clean up this mess!" ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Big leader, the spies reported that the Song army was very lively today, and it is said that the prince has arrived at the Song army camp." Xijing City was originally left in the mansion, and Fang Han, the third leader of the Fangzhou Army, said to Wang Qing,
"Okay, it's just in time!" Wang Qing smiled at the full house, "Brothers, Tong Guan and that bullshit King have been beaten away by us, although it is a pity that they were not caught, but the court sent a more valuable one, when we defeat the Jingxi Army and capture the prince alive, I don't believe that the court will dare to take us!" When the time comes, he will have to agree to whatever conditions we propose! ”
The generals also laughed wildly,
At this time, the second-in-command of the Fangshan Army, the military advisor Li Zhu, said, "Big leader, according to the interrogation from the Song army who had just been captured, the prince did not come by himself, and he also brought a person. ”
Wang Qing saw that Li Zhu's expression was very serious and serious, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Oh? Who? ”
Li Zhu Zhengse said, "Zhu Wu! ”
Wang Qing was taken aback, "He?!" 'King of Qishan' Zhu Wu?! ”
Li Zhu nodded, "Zhu Wu also brought 50,000 Qishan troops, and they are rushing towards Xijing!" ”
Wang Qing's face changed drastically, and he slapped his palm on the table and said angrily, "This Zhu Wu is really not a thing, in vain Lao Tzu admired him so much before, but unexpectedly he is also a greedy and afraid of death, and he is actually willing to be a dog in the court for the sake of glory and wealth!" It's also a feudal town, look at Jingdong Zheng Linfeng, why is the gap between people so big? ! ”
"It's not surprising," Li Zhu said, "If Zhu Wu was a good man, he wouldn't have betrayed Zheng Linfeng in the first place." ”
Wang Qing nodded and then said with a cruel laugh, "Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't even pay attention to the 70,000 Western Army, and his 50,000 Qishan Army is a fart!" But he came just in time, Lao Tzu can just take him down and treat him as a ...... to Zheng Lin,"
Li Zhu suddenly coughed twice and interrupted Wang Qing's words,
Wang Qing reacted at this time, knowing that he was speechless, and hurriedly turned to the generals and said, "Everyone is ready when they go back, and while the prince has just come to gain a foothold, we have to 'entertain' him!" ”
"Yes!" All the generals stood up and took the command,
Wang Qing smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, I see it in my eyes, everyone follow me to work hard, and you will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!" ”
After that, Wang Qing clapped his hands, and then saw several sergeants escorting a large group of women into the lobby, but although these dozen women were full of panic and fear, they still couldn't hide their delicate appearance and obvious ladylike temperament. Suddenly, the whole hall was attracted,
Wang Qing smiled when he saw this, pointed at the dozen or so women and said with a lewd smile, "These are all officials and daughters of Xijing and some wealthy families, they are very unique, everyone don't be stunned, pick one of your own and have fun." ”
All the generals reacted at this time, they were all screaming and rushing to the women, for a while, the hall was full of men's lewd laughter, and the frightened and helpless cries of these poor women, not long after, all the generals left the hall with a woman in their arms, and only Wang Qing and Li Zhu were left in the hall,
Wang Qing smiled when he saw that Li Zhu had not moved, "What? Brother Li didn't like it? ”
Li Zhu smiled faintly, "Little brother is not good at this." ”
Wang Qing patted his head, "It's all my fault, I forgot about this stubble, I'll look for it again when I go back, and see if I can find a few famous calligraphy and paintings for Brother Li." ”
Li Zhu smiled and didn't speak,
Wang Qing asked again, "By the way, Brother Li, what's the new news on Jingdong?" ”
Li Zhu said, "Yes, I just sent off their people before I came, and they said that Zheng Linfeng had received the news that Zhu Wu was coming, and decided to increase support for us, and this time in addition to the 200,000 military salaries, there were also 1,000 firearms!" ”
Wang Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay! In this way, it seems that it is a good thing for us that Zhu Wu is here, Zheng Linfeng and Zhu Wu are mortal enemies, and he can't attack Zhu Wu now because of his identity, this can only rely on us! ”
After that, Wang Qing said to Li Zhu again, "Brother Li, you must be careful when receiving money and firearms, and remember not to make the slightest mistake!" ”
Li Zhu nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the big leader, I will arrange it personally, and I will retire first if it's okay." ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Li Zhu walked out of the left-behind mansion quickly, and in an instant, his originally plain face somehow revealed a thick sadness, and he closed his eyes in pain, but there was still a lingering ...... of the desperate faces of those women in front of him.
