Chapter 45: Zhao Yi's plan
The 10,000 palace guards and the remaining 400 dragon guards that Lu Yu used to exchange for Lu Ji to return to Beijing arrived at the barracks today, and Cui Zheng was not ambiguous, and immediately entertained him with good wine and meat.
However, at the banquet in the barracks, Cui Zheng also directly picked out and said: "Since you are here, you should know the consequences, you can't go back, the northern barbarians outside Antelope City have gathered millions of people in these days, the city is in the people, the city is dead, if you want to leave, drink this glass of wine, you can leave, I Cui Zheng also respect you, but if you are a deserter on the battlefield, I Cui Zheng is the first to kill you!" ”
After saying that, he drank all the wine in the cup, and after drinking, he waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Brothers! Drink! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”
After drinking, Cui Zheng came to the camp where Wen Yu was, because Wen Yu had not recovered from his serious injury, so Zhuang Xingjiu did not go, and Dong Jun stayed in the camp to take care of Wen Yu and did not go.
Cui Zheng led a pot of wine into the camp tent, it happened that Dong Jun was not in the camp tent, Cui Zheng saw that Dong Jun was not there, and Wen Yu was left alone in the camp tent, thought about it, and put the wine in a corner of the camp tent.
"How's your recovery?" Cui Zheng walked to the stool next to the bed and sat down, asking.
"It's been around for a long time, and now I can't wait to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy." Wen Yu deliberately raised his hand and waved it a few times in the air, "When are we going to retake the Yumen Pass." ”
Wen Yu is still haunted by the destruction of Yumen Pass.
"Don't be in a hurry about this, when Dong Jun comes back, I will discuss something with you, and you will know when the time comes."
As soon as the words fell, Dong Jun walked in from outside the account, happened to see a pot of wine on the ground, picked it up casually, opened the wine stopper and drank it.
"Dong Jun, you came just in time, I will ask you in the future." Cui Zheng stood up and walked over and pulled Dong Jun to the bedside.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Dong Jun replied indifferently.
"What are you talking about?" Wen Yu asked.
Cui Zheng explained: "When you are healed, you will go to Qingzhou with Dong Jun, I heard that there are people from Immortal Mountain, don't go further south, Zhao Jian, you have to be very careful, this person is very human, and if you are not careful, he will seize the opportunity." ”
Wen Yu looked at Cui Zheng with an incredulous expression, hurriedly got up from the bed, then shook his arm and said, "General, I have really recovered, I can go to the battlefield to kill the barbarians." You can't drive me away! ”
Cui Zheng pressed him back on the bed and said with a smile: "It's not to drive you away, it's to keep you alive, otherwise if future generations mention Long Wuwei in the future, it would be a pity if there was no Long Wuwei on the battlefield." ”
At this time, if Wen Yu couldn't hear it anymore, he would be in vain as Long Wuwei.
"They're all here?" Wen Yu asked.
Cui Zheng nodded.
"I'm going to see them." Wen Yu remembered all the past events in the barracks, and couldn't help but want to see the brothers who had fought together.
Cui Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to see it, the province is reluctant to let you go to Qingzhou, this matter is not negotiable, now in this world, although it is said that the princes are combined, but in the final analysis, it is the civil strife of the Zhao family, only the Qingzhou Immortal Sect is really for the sake of the people, Dong Jun will go with you, and everything must be listened to Dong Jun before that." ”
Wen Yuyang begged: "Let me stay, I can't escape as a deserter!" ”
"Who said you were a deserter, who dared! Remember, you are Long Wuwei, you must live, you are still young, I am the hope of our Long Wuwei. Cui Zheng smiled, "Unlike us old people, we Long Wuwei will have to count on you in the future." ”
"Can't you go without it?"
"Gotta go."
In the middle of the night of the second day, Wen Yu and Dong Jun left Antelope City and went to Qingzhou to join the Immortal Sect.
The recent days of the Immortal Sect are not very good, all kinds of big and small things come one after another, the big thing is that Xuzhou Governor Zhao Yi led an army of 60,000 to invade Qingzhou in the name of eliminating thieves, Qingzhou Governor Zhao Gui is also a weak and incompetent person, after Xuzhou Zhao Yi 60,000 soldiers and horses entered Qingzhou, the people of Le'an County welcomed him.
This made Zhao Yi's heart shaken, originally he wanted to clear the Immortal Sect and occupy the three county towns of Beihai, Qi County, and Donglai County after the Immortal Sect was occupied, and he would not return them to Zhao Gui, so that he could surround Zhao Gui's remaining Jinan, Le'an, Chengyang, Pingyuan, and the four counties, and then slowly figure it out.
After seeing the welcome of the people of Le'an, he even wanted not to rush to exterminate the Immortal Sect first, but to make plans after capturing Le'an.
An army of 60,000 was stationed on a plain forty miles from the North Sea.
Zhao Yi's military advisor Zhong Ai is a person who knows how to observe words and feelings, and has relied on this to achieve today's position after returning to Zhao Yi, Zhong Ai saw Zhao Yi passing into the city when the people welcomed and Zhao Yi's eyes were eager to wait, Zhong Ai knew that Zhao Yi wanted to take the entire Qingzhou, but because he was acting on the emperor's orders, and if he attacked Zhao Gui, I am afraid that the soldiers would have many complaints.
"My lord, the minister has something to report." Zhong Ai took advantage of Zhao Yi's orders on this day to speak.
Zhao Yi waited for Zhong Ai to speak, which is also the reason why Zhao Yi wanted to take Zhong Ai on the expedition instead of Tang Qing, Zhong Ai and Tang Qing can see what Zhao Yi wants, but the difference is that Tang Qing is too honest in life, while Zhong Ai is better at speaking in what and in what way.
"What?"
"Lord, the lone army is deep, and the soldiers are taboo." Zhong Ai said first.
"Go on."
"Although we received the emperor's order to come to crusade against the thieves, but we still entered Zhao Gui's territory, plus my lord Shengming, Zhao Gui was mediocre and incompetent, before our army entered Le'an City by the way, the people in Le'an City were all welcomed, it can be said that Zhao Gui ruled for too long, so it will be like this, my lord is civilized in the world with benevolence and righteousness, if you continue to let it go, I am afraid that the people of Qingzhou will join the thieves." Zhong Ai further said.
"What do you mean?"
"In the humble opinion of his subordinates, with Zhao Gui's temperament, it is very likely that when we attack the thieves and lose both sides, we will take the opportunity to send troops and wipe out us and the thieves, then we will suffer heavy losses, and even Xuzhou will be lost." Deng Ai explained.
"Tell me how."
"We can feint to attack Beihai first, in fact, send an army to attack Le'an, with the attitude of the people of Le'an, it is not too difficult to capture Le'an, not only that, Le'an is also the key crossing between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, after capturing Le'an, you can repair a letter to the leader of the Immortal Sect, so that he will not take the opportunity to attack us when we retreat from Le'an, in exchange for them attacking other cities in Qingzhou, we will not lead troops to fight." Deng Ai replied.
"What do the generals think?" Zhao Yi asked the generals present again, after all, no matter how powerful the civil officials are, they are just playing tricks, and they really have to rely on the military generals to conquer on the battlefield.
"What the military advisor said is extremely true, and we will strictly abide by the military advisor's words." The generals said in unison.
"Okay, since that's the case, then order Taishi Chang to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to continue to be stationed here, feint to attack Beihai, and the rest of the people will attack Le'an with me." Zhao Yi gave the final orders.
"Yes!"
