Chapter 97 King Jin's Marching Road Division Lu Zhaolin conspired against Wagang
"I see, but this ----" was broken by Yang Erdian, and Yu Wenhua was also surprised, but he had nothing to say in his eagerness.
"Alas! That's it, that's it. Mr. can give a book to the younger brother of Hualong, and let him come to serve in our Chinese army, Jin and Tong will be used for another time, and I also lack confidant generals here. It's better than him being strong in the capital every day and in the fireworks and willow lanes. Yang Er turned around and whispered to his important staff.
"The lower official thanked His Highness for the dog." After that, Yu culture and a sweep to the ground. Being a pro-entourage by the side of King Jin is an errand that cannot be sought, and it must be an absolute cronie. And the future is immeasurable, isn't his eldest son Yuwen Chengdu now the chief general of the entire Hedong Jin Army? This position even surpassed himself in terms of rank. Now King Jin has taken the initiative to transfer his second son over to listen to him, and he will inevitably be reused and promoted in the future. Yu culture and heart are moved and happy.
"It's just that this king wants to remind Mr. that all the personnel of our military intelligence department in the capital may have been exposed, otherwise, the princelings' complete control of the forbidden army in Beijing should have been known to us a long time ago. What to do next, Sir should know. Yang Er said sharply, at this point, he was still quite dissatisfied with the fact that he did not notice the slightest from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, which was to a certain extent a dereliction of duty on the part of Yu Wenhua and others, and they must be reminded to adjust immediately.
"The lower official knows what to do, please give the old minister a few days." Yu Wenhua felt the pressure from the imperial power, and also gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
After seeing Yu Culture and the account, Yang Er's mood did not improve at all, and the current capital and even the Imperial Court of his father may have been completely controlled by the princelings, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Sui Emperor has no place for his own standing. His residence in Beijing, the outlets of the military intelligence department in Beijing, and the personnel left behind should have been closely monitored, and there was no action at all. Vaguely, Yang Er felt that the court of the Sui Dynasty had been completely separated from himself, and even whether to enter the city to meet his father and mother after arriving in Beijing a few days later had become a matter that he had to think clearly, because it had now become a place of right and wrong with hidden dangers.
In the evening, the generals and the staff members of the army who had eaten the meal were summoned to Yang Er's tent to discuss matters.
There was a huge stove in the center of the tent, the charcoal fire inside was booming, bubbling with light blue flames, the tent was extremely warm, which was completely different from the scene outside the tent, I don't know when it began, and the snowflakes were falling from the sky again, and the temperature was extremely low. Everyone in the tent sat around the stove, and everyone looked grim, silently listening to Yang Er's words on the main seat. From Yang Er's words, everyone knew about the situation of the prince's army and the current Jingshi, which was not good news for everyone. In particular, Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yunzhao's faces were particularly heavy, they knew about the dispute between the prince and the king of Jin, so the two of them knew in their hearts that the current situation was unfavorable to their lord.
"The king decided that our army would not enter the city after arriving in Beijing, and only the headquarters of General Yuwen of the Chinese army and the king would be temporarily stationed outside the city to wait for the prince. General Wu Yunzhao's White Horse Battalion will pull out the camp and set off first tomorrow, take a shortcut from the north of the Beijing Division to Jincheng County, pay attention to hiding his whereabouts all the way, and after arriving at Anding County, he will march by day and night, and secretly arrive in the mountains west of Jincheng County to ambush, waiting for the king's order to attack. The vanguard battalion headquarters of the Xiongkuohai and Jinjia generals will set off with the White Horse Battalion and then go to Xiping County to camp in the road, and indirectly cover the White Horse Battalion. After arriving, he sent people to contact General Yu Zhongwen of Wuwei, and formed a horn with Wuwei County to deter the Tuyuhun army and prevent it from advancing eastward, so that there was no need to hide his head on the road, and he arrived within 10 days. Will the generals be able to hear you? Yang Er got up, pointed to a large map behind him, and pointed out the route of the march to the generals. In 3 days at most, you can arrive in Jingshi, and it is estimated that you will wait outside Jingshi for two days. However, Wu Yunzhao and Xiongkuohai did not have to follow him, and had to arrive at their respective positions first, so that the subsequent military deployment could begin. It is enough to keep 10,000 Chinese troops by your side.
Wu Yunzhao and the three generals of Xiong Kuohai and Jinjia stood up and replied, "The last general is ordered." The faces of the three of them were full of excitement, and today's march had dragged these two men and horses enough. The Chinese army in Yuwen Chengdu accompanied Yang Er's march at a slower speed, while the White Horse Battalion was cavalry, the Xiongkuohai, and the Golden Armor Pioneer Battalion were all mechanized with vehicles and horses except for the cavalry, and the marching speed was naturally not slow. At this time, the two troops received the order to go straight to the front line, and there was no reason to be dissatisfied, so they happily accepted the order.
"Chen Tian, your logistics departments must also realize the transformation of mules and horses, follow closely behind our Chinese army, and do not fall behind. All the medical staff of the army got on the bus, if the carriage was insufficient, when passing by Iron Hammer Village tomorrow, they would go to Uncle Liang to ask for it. ”
The chief logistics officer of the army this time is Chen Tian, director of the logistics department, who is in charge of the baggage battalion, the army hospital and the Chinese army canteen, and the burden is also very heavy.
"Mr. Huaji, the eunuch Yuanyan Gonggong who is close to the emperor along the way will be taken care of by Mr. Lao, be sure to take care of it on behalf of the king, although this person is a eunuch, but in the future, the king will be reused, not to be underestimated." Yang Er whispered to Yu Wenhua. Yu Wenhua is an extremely intelligent person, and he knows the importance of this eunuch eunuch, so he nodded and agreed.
At this moment, I saw the tent curtain lifted, Zhong Jian walked into the tent, came straight to Yang Er's side, and whispered into Yang Er's ear: "Brother Shi, there is a letter from Yin in the neighboring mansion of Lu Zhao in Zezhou, and he is outside, saying that there is a letter written by Lord Lu to be delivered in person." ”
"It's a letter from Zezhou, let the person who sent the letter come in." Yang Er also felt sudden, he never expected to receive a letter from Lu Zhaolin who was far away in Zezhou at this time, it seemed that it must be an important matter.
Zhong Jian went out for a moment and led a man who looked like a military man into the big tent. Everyone in the tent was quite curious when they saw it, and they didn't know where this was, and they didn't know what it meant, and everyone guessed with each other.
Yang Er took a sealed bamboo tube, tore open the cover, and took out the letter. At this time, Chuchen behind him hurriedly raised the candle light on the desk behind him so that Yang Er could see more clearly. When the soldier saw that the letter had been delivered, he turned around and walked straight out of the big tent, and Zhong Jian arranged for guards outside to lead him to the canteen to get food and rest.
"Huh! Hehe! Yang Er laughed after reading Lu Zhaolin's letter, this is the only good news today, this Lu Zhaolin's letter made Yang Er's depressed mood suddenly better.
"Your Highness, but there is an urgent military business in Zezhou?" Wu Yunzhao's heart tightened when he heard Yang Er's mouth say the word "Zezhou", because his brother Wu Tianxi was guarding there, and Zezhou was also the southeast gate of Hedong County, facing the forces of Xu Yuanlang in Shandong and Wang Shichong in Henan, and the position was important.
"Definitely! Princes, I never expected that the person who made the first contribution to my Hedong Jin Army was actually Wu Tianxibu of Zezhou, stealing the limelight from the generals! Hehehehehe! Yang Er laughed and said to everyone in the tent.
"Oh! We'd love to hear about it. Yu Wenhua was also happy to see Yang Er's mood improve, and couldn't help but ask first.
"Yes! Yes---- we and the others are willing to listen to the details," including Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yunzhao and other generals, all shouted. In the meantime, only the general of the pioneer battalion, Xiong Kuohai, was quite unhappy, as if someone suddenly came to rob him of his credit.
"The day before yesterday, this king recruited Lu Zhaolin, Wu Tianxi and other Zezhou generals to secretly plan a big cottage in Wagang Mountain at the junction of Shandong, Hebei and Henan, called "Wagang Village", and control Wagang Village can control the surrounding hundreds of miles of land, which is the forehead of the outward development of our Hedong, and it is very beneficial for me to go out of Shandong, Jianghuai, and plan Hebei and deter Henan. But after a month, Nawa Gangzhai has been in my hands! This king will definitely reward the generals of Zezhou. Yang Er happily told everyone the reason for the incident. Everyone was amazed after hearing this, and they all couldn't imagine that the lord who seemed to be only focusing on the development of Hedong County had already been plotting to dominate the world and occupy a strategic place first.
Time goes back to half a month ago.
After Lu Zhaolin, Wu Tianxi, Jiao Fang and Wu Kui returned to Zezhou City from Luzhou, they discussed how to skillfully take the Wagang Mountain designated by the lord. After sending spies in the army to Wagang Mountain to secretly investigate, the four people have learned that at this time, the mountain has been occupied by a group of bandits as the lord said, because it is located at the junction of the three places, the officers and soldiers everywhere do not come to clear it, but Wagang Mountain is located in the traffic rush, and the road between Hebei and Henan passes under the mountain, and the official road from Shandong to Jinyang, Shanxi also passes before the mountain, and the merchants and officials come and go every day. The cottage has already set a rule in the rivers and lakes, and all those who pass in front of Wagang Mountain, whether merchants or official travelers, etc., must pay the mountain worship ceremony, and with this income, the whole cottage is extremely prosperous. The existing owner of the cottage is the big leader Pu Guzhong and the second leader Fei Tianxi, the two of them have gathered 2000 minions, and this is also one of the heroes of the green forest in the nine provinces, and is controlled by the red-haired Lingguan Shan Xiongxin of the green forest scoop in the nine provinces.
"This Pu and Fei are lowly in ability, relying on the name of the green forest in the nine provinces, with the protection of the big boss Shan Xiongxin, the heroes on the green forest road do not go to his territory to stir up, so these two people do not want to forge ahead, only care about the current pleasure, and occupy this dangerous place to live happily every day." Wu Tianxi said to Lu Zhaolin, Jiao, and Wu Erjun, and was quite unconvinced. He is a martial artist, and he bends to make a difficult living in Tuoluo Village in Taihang Mountain, but he only has 800 soldiers, and the two of them on Wagang Mountain have no ability to live so happily, which is really infuriating. Jiao Fang and Wu Kui, who were both born as the King of the Mountain, were also angry.
"Huh! General Wu doesn't have to be angry, this official can use a little trick to take this cottage as my Hedong ownership. Lu Zhaolin said to the three of them quite confidently at this time. In his mind, he had already seen another feasible plan.
"What's your plan, sir? Do you want the two of us to sneak into the cottage and wait for an opportunity as the prince said? Jiao Fang asked anxiously, and Wu Kui on the side was also anxious.
"General Wu and his official allocated 10,000 catties of refined salt to you, and you selected 100 thin soldiers from the army to accompany the salt caravan, and went to Luoyang, Henan Province from my Zezhou through the big road in front of Wagang Mountain, and still sent people up the mountain to pay 1,000 taels of silver for the mountain worship according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and buy a road to pass. General Jiao and Wu Er can use 200 men and horses in their headquarters, accompanied by hungry people and Langhan, to infiltrate the south of Wagang Mountain in advance, choose a mountain forest that is not within the sphere of influence of Wagang to ambush, just wait for my salt caravan to pass by, and then rob it. The two of you will use this 10,000 catties of refined salt as a name to worship each other, and the official expects that Napu and Fei will be happy, and will take you and other 200 people up the mountain to join the gang. With the ability of the two of you, you can sit on a top of the mountain. Lu Zhaolin slowly said the plan in his heart, and after a short pause and thought, he walked to the side of the third general and continued: "When the two of you are familiar with him, I will encourage the two of them to lead troops across the river to plunder Jiyuan County, which belongs to our Zezhou, of course, the official of this county can hoard 200,000 stone of grain in advance, and let out the wind to say that this batch of grain wants to be sold and bought in Shandong, and use this as bait to lure the two of them." At that time, General Wu led the cavalry of his headquarters to ambush in Jiyuan County, and when he entered the city to loot grain, he would kill him. Jiao and Wu Er will cooperate and not let one person cross the river and escape. After Pu and Fei were awarded the head, Jiao and Wu led several soldiers back to Wagang to occupy a large position, so that the Wagang cottage was owned by the king of Jin in Hedong! This is a preliminary plan and the timing can be adjusted randomly. ”
After Wu Tianxi and Second General Jiao Wu heard this, they couldn't help nodding and saying "good plan".
After the plan of the four people has been decided, they will each select the confidants of the headquarters to act according to the plan. Jiao Fang and Wu Kuier will lead 200 henchmen and soldiers, accompanied by fleeing refugees, and in order to make the play more realistic, nearly 50 old and weak women and children are also included in the 200 people. On the second day, under the leadership of Jiao and Wu, these more than 200 people sneaked out of Zezhou City at night, pushing dozens of cars to drag their families to a mountain forest in the south of Wagang Mountain to ambush.
Two days later, a shopkeeper transferred from the Zheng family caravan also set off from Zezhou with 100 people selected by the Zezhou military camp and accompanied by the salt caravan. Everything went according to Lu Zhaolin's strategy.
Wagang Mountain Village.
The terrain of this Wagang Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not far from the north is the boundary of Jizhou, Hebei, the east can see the merchants coming and going from Shandong, more than 40 miles to the south will enter Zhongzhou, Henan, 20 miles to the west is the Yellow River, there is a ferry by the river can directly enter the hinterland of Shanxi. This Wagang Mountain is a place where there are green forests and horses gathering in the mountains and forests in all dynasties. At this time, the people who occupy this dangerous mountain are Pu Guzhong and Fei Tianxi, who are known as one of the green forests of the nine provinces, occupying a territory within a radius of 100 miles, and the other green forests are not allowed to cross the line to beg for food.
At this time, the Wagang Mountain is covered with snow up and down, the trees on the mountain are luxuriant, and the strange rocks are craggy. The mountain is not high, but it is extremely treacherous. There is a circle of nearly zhang high city wall built along the foot of the mountain, only a mountain gate is provided, and the three gilded characters of "Wagang Village" are written on it and shine in the sunlight after the snow. There is a tall and majestic city tower on the city wall of the mountain gate, the mountain gate is closed, and there are two soldiers on the city wall every ten zhang with guns to patrol. In front of the mountain gate, all the trees were cut down, and a rabbit ran through the clearing, but it could not escape the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall. Looking into the city wall, it is the steep Wagang Mountain, and a dirt road leading to the mountain is faintly visible, and it is not clear to see it in the snow and fog.
At this time, several figures in the woods two miles away were peeking at Wagangzhai.
