Section 572 Dead End
The stock market says that it closes and closes every day, and it sounds like a sharp harvest that makes the hearts of shareholders tremble and the market plummets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingzhou Governor Murong Yanda received a heavy harvest.
It took more than a year to understand the relationship and power of the three mountain bandits, calculated all the key points, and found out the most powerful general team and the most capable army, and confidently launched the wonderful summer harvest and bandit plan, and had complete confidence to clean up the most arrogant Peach Blossom Mountain bandits first, and opened up a good situation for the follow-up plan, but nearly 10,000 troops went out, but only one person came back, yes, only one person came back, or the lucky general who was deliberately let go by Qingfeng Zhai to escape alive, and the rest did not even return with serious injuries.
How can this not be a burst harvest?
Looking forward to the market soaring and winning, from then on, peace and joy and wealth are full of life, and the clouds are going up, but what I get is this too shocking plummet.
Murong Prefect was dumbfounded, looking at the bloody generals kneeling in front of the case, he was stunned for a long time, and his face became vibrant, and the flower of anger bloomed in an instant.
He sprang up with unprecedented agility and slammed the table and roared, "What's the matter? What's going on? Yes? You damn bitch slut said—"
How could he not be mad with anger?
Not to mention that it took so much effort to plan and arrange for so long, and the result was in vain.
In order to launch the battle of Xia Harvest and exterminate the Three Mountain Bandits in one fell swoop, he had previously reported to the emperor for permission to mobilize the armies of neighboring state capitals to fight together. For this reason, he naturally boasted to the emperor and Cai Jing and others that he would be able to achieve complete success in this battle and gain strong support. The ministers all said that this strategy was clever. The emperor also specially issued a decree to praise him for his hard work.
Now, not only did he not exterminate the Peach Blossom Mountain bandits, one of the three mountains, but also buried nearly 10,000 troops and many elite generals, not to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop but to lose the ability to suppress bandits in one fell swoop, how can this be explained to the imperial court?
is so embarrassed that his face has been planted in the mud for dozens of miles, I am afraid that he will become the biggest laughing stock in officialdom, how can he still see people with any face?
Especially when the pirates plundered on a large scale, causing a huge loss of the wealth of the population of the Great Song Dynasty, the civil and military horrors of the Manchu Dynasty, and the worst mood of the emperor's disappointment and anger, the consequences of this defeat .......
The more Murong Prefect thought about it, the more frightened and angry he became, as a gentleman who was a poet and a book, and he was anxious at the moment, and he was like a butcher with red eyes and just wanted to kill, so angry that he slammed his hands on the hard table to vent the huge pain in his hands, he didn't feel it for a while, and only after relieving his strength did he jump and hissed pain in the snow. When I glanced at my hands, I was actually swollen.
Not to mention that the ministry will save his life and escape the responsibility without a fight, so he naturally tried his best to put all the blame on Qin Ming, Huang Xin, the unwise army and the bandits.
Rooms in Qingfeng Village.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin slept peacefully, and did not wake up slowly until the middle of the day, opening his eyes in a daze, feeling dizzy and painful, his eyes were black, and his body was weak.
This is a side effect of drunkenness and drugged drugs.
But the two of them thought that they were dead, and that the darkness in front of them could not see the light because they were ghosts.
After a while, they were surprised that they were still alive, that their heads had not been lost, and that they were not missing any parts. It's lying on a big simple bed in a hot room full of sunlight.
Thinking of the situation, the second general hurriedly rubbed his eyes and got up to look around, and saw that he was only wearing underwear, but his armor was hanging on a wooden frame on the side, and after a little thought, he understood what was going on.
It must be that timely rain Song Gongming cherishes talents, thinking that the two of them are loyal and brave, they are not willing to kill themselves at all, last night was just intimidation, and the purpose of hospitality in disguise is nothing more than to subdue him.
At this moment, Song Jiang, who had been waiting for this moment, walked in, greeted him with a smile, and asked directly: "Go before the life and death pass, the two generals don't know if they have figured it out?" ”
"The court is rotten, Murong Yanda is a ruthless dog official who is bent on personal gain, how can he be worthy of the loyal and brave service of the two generals? Why don't you join the cottage and be a good man who kills officials and thieves freely? ”
"Humph!"
Qin Ming and Huang Xin spewed out the disdainful voice that was held in their hearts after waking up but being held in by Song Jiang coming in.
Lao Tzu is an upright and powerful officer of the imperial court, and he wants us to join the remnants of you and thieves to bear the infamy together. The big deal is death.
No, Song Jiang was not annoyed or disappointed at all when he got this response, and he still had a natural smile.
"These two are the heroes of the world. Xiao Ke also expected that the two would not give up the high-ranking official Houlu and succumb to the bandits. ”
"Don't worry. Song Jiang is not talented, but he also has ambitions, and he cherishes loyal heroes the most. Xiao Ke won't let the Three Tigers kill you. If you don't want to stay, let's go. ”
Qin Ming and Huang Xin were stunned for a moment, "You let us go?" ”
Song Jiang was indifferent, only nodded, pointed to the door, and made a gesture to please go.
Qin Ming snorted coldly and said, "You dare to let go, don't you dare to go?" However, before leaving, the official wants to tell you that after you go back, the official will order troops to cut down the three mountains again, and will never be soft on Qingfeng Village. I want to avoid the heavy army of the official commander from killing all over the mountain. You'd better kill the official right away. ”
Song Jiang twisted his beard and smiled: "You are an official, this is a thief." Naturally, no hand will be spared in the second battle. It is just a matter of life and death according to their ability. ”
Qin Ming stared at Song Jiang, and after a while, seeing that Song Jiang sincerely wanted to let him go, it was not a teasing, so he nodded and said, "Filial piety and timely rain really live up to their reputation, they are a character." ”
The second general was not polite, and he was worried about the army and the war, so he was anxious to go back, and immediately endured dizziness and weakness, helped each other put on their armor, hugged their fists to Song Jiang, and strode out of the house.
At this time, Song Jiang stood at the door and said leisurely: "Farewell, Xiao Ke still has a few words to say." ”
The second general stationed in the horse and waited to hear what this famous timely rain was going to say to continue to fool.
Song Jiang said: "I think I Song Jiang was originally a Yuncheng Minister, although he was a small official, but he was also a person in the court, not ignorant of righteousness, only because of a poisonous woman was reduced to the rivers and lakes and had nowhere to live." This mountain of brothers is a righteous man, and there is no lack of loyalty in their hearts, only because they were bullied and framed by corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bullies, and big families, and they have no way out. The brothers have their own grudges, they have suffered from corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they all bear a deep hatred of blood and hatred, and they hate the government and the government is so poisonous that they just want to kill you to relieve their hatred. Xiao Ke had bitterly persuaded the brothers not to kill them if they were officials, and the brothers were also good men who preached morality, and in the end they couldn't bear to kill two heroes like this. Xiao Ke finally saved the general's life. Where the hospitality is not good, look at General Haihan. The two generals are good. If you want to unify the army and suppress it again, you just let the horses come. ”
The minion next to him said proudly: "Two officials, please." ”
Qin Ming and Huang Xin looked at each other, and then rode out of the village, received their respective weapons handed by Minions outside the gate of the village, and recklessly turned their faces to retaliate without being free, and rode down the mountain. After walking a short distance, I heard a minion behind me shouting: "I forgot to say, last night, Peach Blossom Mountain had broken through the barracks." The officers and soldiers have already returned to the city in defeat. ”
When Qin Ming and Huang Xinmeng heard this, they suddenly realized that Song Jiang poured wine last night not only to intimidate and persuade him to surrender, but also to take the opportunity to help Sizhu break the encirclement and suppression.
The two were shocked and annoyed, but after thinking about it, who did they blame?
Is it because he is unwise, but he neglects his heavy responsibilities as a commander-in-chief, is arrogant and careless in chasing the enemy and is captured, so that the army has no owner and is defeated miserably, how can he blame the enemy for being cunning?
In the gloom of self-blame, the second general remembered that there were still a hundred cavalrymen who were also captured because of their carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, but they were not released together. Qingfeng Zhai obviously refused to let go. Both sides are hostile. The Three Tigers will not be as polite to these cavalry villains as they are to generals, and if they don't kill, they will be forced to join the gang as robbers. If you ask for it, people won't listen. There is no face to ask for either.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin believe that Minions will not tell lies and deceive themselves.
That didn't make any sense. The army must have been defeated, leaving everything and fleeing, so there was no need to bother to go to Peach Blossom Mountain to check.
The two generals were depressed, but they were even more anxious to go back, and they rode their horses back to the city.
When I arrived at Fucheng, I saw that the city gate was closed and the sedan chair was hanging high. The city walls were heavily guarded, and they felt heavily guarded. The defending officer knew the second general, but he ignored it and did not open the city gate.
Qin Ming was short-tempered, anxious to enter the city to check the defeat, and habitually came to the city according to the identity of the head of the soldiers and horses of the mansion and shouted: "Didn't you see that the official is back?" Why don't you hurry up and put down the sedan car and open the city gate? ”
He was greeted not by his subordinates who were sincerely afraid of opening the city, but by a more strict guard.
Murong Prefect appeared at the head of the city in a moment, dressed in a long-winged hat official uniform, full of majesty, accompanied and protected by Cui Meng, the magistrate, as soon as he saw Qin Ming and Huang Xin, he was furious, raised his eyebrows and glared, his face was distorted, and he scolded with a trembling halberd: "Okay, you Qin Ming Huang Xin, you two disloyal, unrighteous and ungrateful dog thieves, fornicating with thieves, took refuge in Qingfeng Village, and colluded with the Three Tigers and Four Zhu to destroy my army to intercept and kill my retreat to break my plan to destroy the thieves and destroy the three clans." Until now, you still dare to come back in vain to deceive the city and destroy my city, and your heart can be punished. ”
Qin Ming and Huang Xin were scolded in confusion.
Murong Governor did not wait for the second general to react or try to explain the inside story of the questioning, so he ordered in a very angry manner: "Listen to the army, hurry up and release arrows for me, release the arrows, and shoot these two dog thieves to death quickly." lest this dog thief flee and become a great calamity to the house. ”
The officers and soldiers don't care about Qin Ming and Huang Xin's identity, that used to be the focus, an irresistible official, but it is in the past. Now it's against the thieves who deserve to be killed. Immediately a flurry of arrows.
If it weren't for Qin Ming and Huang Xin's high skills, now that the wine has woken up, the drug strength has passed, the skills have recovered, and the reaction is fast, he will shoot into a hedgehog, and there will be no future directly.
The second general was frightened and fired an arrow, only to ride his horse back sharply, and retreated to the range of the bow and crossbow before standing.
Qin Ming shouted anxiously: "Lord Prefect, you know Qin Ming's loyalty and bravery. The last general did not surrender to the thieves. There is a misunderstanding. ”
Murong Prefect sneered angrily: "Misunderstanding? Misunderstand you. ”
Pointing to the general who fled back, he shouted angrily: "You and the Huangxin dog thieves mixed in the Qingfeng thieves to intercept and kill the retreating army, and the brave and fierce killing caught the generals off guard, and the dead and wounded all over the ground were clearly seen by him, and it was all a fluke to the death before he was able to escape from the encirclement and come back to report to me." Otherwise, you two seemingly loyal dog thieves will be deceived today. The city is difficult to protect. Do you dare to quibble? ”
The more Murong Prefect scolded, the more angry and resentful he became.
Fortunately, he escaped and reported the news in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even if the city is broken, the official will have to die here.
He wiped the hot sweat and cold sweat, and urged angrily: "These two scourges must not be let go. Tritiha, hurry up and let the cavalry and infantry archers out of the city and kill these two dog thieves. ”
Cui Meng responded simply and hurriedly went down to the city.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin, the two army commanders, have become anti-thieves, so they naturally want to destroy the opportunity to be promoted because they have made meritorious contributions and shown their abilities, and if they can take advantage of this to win the favor of the prefect, wouldn't they take off the hat of the governor and be promoted to the chief general of the government?
If you can't become a local high-ranking officer like the commander of soldiers and horses in one step, you can at least be a military supervisor.
Qin Ming, the irascible and brave Erwuzai, hasn't understood the taste yet. Huang Xin was fine, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but feel cold.
He pulled Qin Mingdao, who wanted to step forward to ask for an explanation: "We have been tricked." I can't explain it. Come on. Otherwise, Cui Meng, who shot without permission, will take the opportunity to lead the army to shoot us. ”
Qin Ming was irritable and even more demented, and he still wanted to listen to it, and he had to try to explain.
Huang Xin was anxious and said bluntly: "Since you and I have become thieves in the eyes of the prefect, all the family members in the city must have been killed." It's explained. With the temperament of the prefect of Murong, no, with the temperament of a civil official of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he admit that he was confused and unwise, made a mistake in judgment, wrongly killed a good person, and wronged a lowly martial artist like you and me? ”
"In order to cover up his mistakes and incompetence, he will only pursue us more eagerly, and put all the blame for the defeat on us. That Cui Meng was transferred from the border pass, brave and proficient in leading troops to fight, relying on the border pass to grind out a wealth of combat experience, never served you and me, a mainland officer who has not experienced a big war, unwilling to listen to you and me, has long had the intention to replace him, and usually twists and turns. Now that there is such an opportunity, how can he care if we have been wrongly convicted, how will he let us go? ”
Qin Ming heard this, and then saw that the city gate was opened, and the army was surging like wolves and tigers with bows and arrows, obviously not caring about their past identities and leaving their hands, so he screamed bitterly: "My wife and children, wow." ”
The family was killed by the government. This will also give up on the government. The heart is dripping blood.
Indignant, he didn't want to be surrounded by the army and shot to death, and he wanted to stay useful to avenge his hatred, so he had to retreat with Huang Xin in a hurry.
The two horses are good and run fast, which is not something that the cavalry in the city can catch up. Afraid of the courage of the second general, the officers and men did not dare to pursue too closely. Cui Meng was the only one who fought bravely and did not dare to challenge alone.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin got rid of the officers and soldiers and returned to the road to Qingfeng Village.
The grief-stricken Qin Ming not only lost his precious identity and future as an official general, but also lost his family, his mind was upset, and his brain was still confused.
Huang Xin has already sorted out the key to it, pointing out that it must be Song Jiang's poisonous plan, last night under the pretext of getting drunk to the two, while the two were asleep, the Qingfeng Village thief Kou took off the clothes and armor of the two, rode the two-person war horse, held the two-person weapon, and sent someone to pretend to be the two to intercept and kill the deserter, but in fact, he deliberately let the deserter see and at least intentionally let go of the general to report the news.
