Chapter 21: Ambition in the Heart!
The group left the camp and got on their horses and returned. didn't go far, but Yue Yun said, "Lord Zhang, in your arms." ”
Zhang Rong was shocked and rejoiced, isn't it?
Thinking about it, he touched it into his arms.
Yue Yun reminded again: "Sir, be careful. ”
Zhang Rong said yes in his heart, remained silent, and several people left the barracks quickly.
Yue Yun was sharp-eyed, and stood beside Zhang Rong again, and clearly saw that Yang Sanlang stuffed something into Zhang Rong's arms when he grabbed his clothes, and his movements were extremely fast, but what kind of person Yue Yun was, how could he hide his eyes.
Everyone rode all the way to no man's land, and Zhang Rongfang took out a roll of brocade from his arms, on which many words were densely written.
It is Jia Xu's handwriting, Zhang Rong has worked with Jia Xu for a period of time and knows Jia Xu's handwriting.
At that moment, he glanced at ten lines, and after reading it three times in a row, he looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "It's a big thing." ”
The approximate meaning written on the brocade is that Yang Ye is our people, and the plan is to deceive Zhao Hong and others from the barracks, and after entering Longxi City, they will attack Longxi City and kill Zhao Hong and others in the city.
As for how to act, Jia Xu also wrote the plan clearly, and Zhang Rong was overjoyed after seeing it and acted according to the plan.
After Zhang Rong returned to the county seat of Longxi, he ran to Zhao Hong's military camp eight times a day, and when he saw no one, he made a fuss, and on several occasions even drew his sword to rush into the camp.
On this day, the guard finally said that Zhao Hong had returned from his patrol.
In fact, this Zhao Hong didn't go anywhere, I heard that Zhang Rong returned to Longxi, how dare he leave the barracks without permission. This Zhang Rong is also a lonely minister, and his prestige is very high, and in the first few days, Zhao Hong was very worried that his subordinates would betray him. Since he took over the military power, he eliminated dissidents and promoted and reused his cronies, because he was worried that one day as soon as Wang Shizi returned, these people would surrender immediately.
But King Wu is a King of Martial Arts after all, and his prestige is too high, although the army is all his own people, it is difficult to guarantee that something will go wrong. So when Zhang Rong just came back, he really didn't dare to run around, so he only stayed in the barracks and held on to the military power in his hand.
It's just that as time slowly passed, he began to feel that what Zhang Rong was, what was entrusted to the lonely minister, and that was it. He has been in business for five years in the land of Longxi, and it is deep-rooted, this Zhang Rong jumped up and down and hit a wall everywhere, no, he ran to Yang Ye a few days ago, and heard that there was a contradiction, and he was almost beaten out. This Yang Ye wants to avenge his son, even if it is fake, this excuse is not bad, at least he is on his side, and he will not send troops to help Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong, Zhang Rong, let your means reach the sky, where can you jump without military power?
Zhao Hong is gradually not afraid of Zhang Rong, but this Zhang Rong makes a lot of trouble at the gate of the barracks every day, and Zhao Hong is also very annoying. He also figured it out, sooner or later there was going to be a showdown, Wu Wangming was probably already on the way back, he had soldiers in his hands, what were he afraid of them doing?
So he decided to meet Zhang Rong.
In the tent, the two finally met.
Zhang Rong said angrily: "You are Zhao Hong?" Finally reluctant? ”
Zhao Hong squinted his eyes and replied, "It's the general." ”
Whether in terms of official position or qualifications, Zhao Hong is a cut below Zhang Rong, but Zhao Hong is not called the "last general", but calls himself the "general", he is determined to be tough to the end.
Zhang Rong was not angry, he was full of anger early, and only said sharply: "Say, how do you send troops?" ”
Zhao Hong only said: "Ben will inspect all parts of the country and find that the Xiqiang troops are about to move, and if it is not Ben will not send troops, he really dare not send troops." I am afraid that as soon as our army moves, the Qiang people of all departments will take advantage of the situation to enter the army, and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people are tied to the hands of this general, and the stakes are very important, and this general will not dare to slack off. ”
Zhang Rong shouted: "Do you dare to disobey the king's order? ”
Zhao Hong said: "The king is thousands of miles away, and he is not familiar with the situation in Longxi. ”
"Aren't you afraid that the king will blame?"
"Ben will defend the land and work diligently for five years, how can the king condemn me?"
"Good! Good! Okay," Zhang Rong finally laughed angrily, and said: "Since you don't want to move troops, this official will go to the counties to transfer the county soldiers, and the county soldiers can't move; Ben will go to the scholars to borrow the family, but the family can't borrow it; The general will go to Jincheng and go to Tianshui to borrow troops, I think you Zhao Hong's 30,000 horses still dare to oppose the Dayan court? ”
After that, Zhang Rong brushed his sleeves and left.
Zhao Hong sat in the tent with a gloomy face, half a ring, and two people turned in from behind the tent, it was none other than his second son Zhao Ren and third son Zhao Li, both of whom were deputy generals in his army. And his eldest son, Zhao Zhong, led the county soldiers in Longxi County.
I only heard Zhao Ren say: "Father, this Zhang Rong is so domineering, if he is really allowed to go on like this, everyone will know about it, and the whole world will be uneasy, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to me." The one above blames me, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. ”
Zhao Hong also nodded, and said secretly: Yes, this Zhang Rong is the biggest arm of Wu Wangming's subordinates, and if he is kept, there will be a big incident sooner or later, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to cause endless trouble.
On the second day, I heard that Zhang Rong and his entourage left Longxi County and went to Lintao.
Did you really go to transfer the county soldiers?
When Zhao Hong heard about this, he immediately summoned his son Zhao Ren and said, "Zhang Rong went to Lintao. ”
As Zhao Hong's son, Zhao Ren knew his father very well, and he knew what he meant when he said this, so he only said: "What does my father mean?" ”
Zhao Hong nodded and said, "Do it cleanly, try to get as close to the north as possible before acting." ”
Zhao Ren said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, this matter was done by the Qiang people, what does it have to do with me?" ”
……
However, it was said that Jia Xu and the Yang family's father and son made a plan, and after leaving a letter to the upcoming Zhang Rong, they left the Yang family's camp. As a "person from Yang Mansion", he naturally wants to return to Yang Mansion.
On this day, he came alone in front of the Yang Mansion in Longxi. There are too many people and the goal is too big, so there will inevitably be mistakes, Zhang Xian and the five of them all went into the city separately, found an inn to live in, and waited for the opportunity.
Holding Yang Ye's letter, he entered Yang's mansion after the report.
In the back hall of the Yang Mansion, I saw Yang Ye's wife She Saihua alone, and after some deliberation, I lived in the Yang Mansion as a person from the Yang Mansion. On the second day, Zhang Xian and five others were secretly brought into the Yang Mansion.
A few days later, two women came to the gate of the Wuwang Mansion in Longxi, the older one was in his twenties, dressed as a Taoist aunt, surnamed Liu Yunxia, who was a Taoist aunt in Longxi, and one behind Liu Yunxia, tall and covered with a silk scarf, was called a girl by Liu Yunxia.
Liu Yunxia came to the door of King Wu's mansion and claimed to do a set of rituals for King Wuxin, and then he talked nonsense in the clouds, and the doorman couldn't understand it, so he had to invite Princess Ma.
Princess Ma met with Liu Yunxia, and Liu Yunxia talked again, saying that there was an important matter and only told Princess Ma alone.
Princess Ma was suspicious and withdrew her subordinates. After Liu Yunxia had a secret discussion with Princess Ma, he and the girl lived in King Wu's mansion, waiting for King Wu to come back and prepare for the rituals and other matters.
Early in the morning of this day, Yang Ye set out from Pingxiang to the west, claiming to avenge his son.
On this day, Zhang Rong and his entourage walked on the road to Lintao. In Jia Xu's plan, Zhang Rong didn't leave, and Zhao Hong didn't dare to go out of the barracks for half a step, so Zhang Rong wanted to go, and he had to find a reason for Zhao Hong not to be suspicious, so Zhang Rong ran to Zhao Hong to quarrel and walked away.
On this day, Princess Ma used the order of King Wu for the first time to summon Zhao Hong and all the generals and the stewards of King Wu's mansion to meet with him.
Zhao Hong received the order of King Wu, and very cautiously asked his eldest son Zhao Zhong to inquire about the recent movements of King Wu's Mansion, only saying that a Dao aunt came a few days ago, and everything else was normal.
Zhao Hong listened to it and summoned all his cronies to discuss.
Everyone didn't doubt him, and they all thought that the princess Ma was helpless, because Zhang Rong couldn't go far away, what else could this princess Ma do? used the martial king's order to summon everyone, it seems that he wants to use both soft and hard, and if he can't do it again, he will take his son back first.
Zhao Hong smiled: "Soft and hard? He only has 200 soldiers in the Wuwang Mansion, and I am afraid that there are not as many families in the hands of a prominent family in Longxi, so what can he do? ”
At this moment, Zhao Hong is full of spirits, for five years, no matter how powerful he is outside, he has never dared to enter the Wuwang Mansion arrogantly.
It's not hard, he wants to see what Princess Ma's soft is?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hong smacked his lips a little.
It was not yet dark, Zhao Hong and others entered Longxi County, he deliberately selected a hundred sharp soldiers for this trip, he did not dare to be careless, I have to say that he can have today's situation, although there is a care from above, but can keep Longxi this border for five years safe, the ability is beyond doubt.
Not only did he bring a hundred elites, but he also specially instructed several other generals not to be careless, and each brought elites into the city. The 200 soldiers in King Wu's mansion were veterans of King Wu's conquest of the world.
These old pawns are the only places he has not dared to stretch out his hand over the years, he knows that it is a piece of Wu Wang Xin's scales, some of them lack ears, some are blind in one eye, and some have one arm, all of them were injured by Wu Wang Xin's conquest. King Wu Xin treats them like relatives, and they treat King Wu Xin like a parent. The relationship between the two sides cannot be spilled with a needle. To put it in layman's terms, any of these two hundred old pawns is taller than the clan uncle Zhao Zheng he killed back then, in the eyes of Wu Wangxin.
It's just that these old soldiers are either disabled, or have no talent to learn, or their martial arts are not enough to be generals, and Zhao Zheng is a member of the clan, so he became a general in Longxi.
These two hundred old soldiers are an iron plate in the Wuwang Mansion, and they are really desperate, but they are enough for a headache.
The five partial generals, except for Yang Ye, are all here. These sick are cured; The bandits have returned; The child who gave birth to the child in the family was also born, and at this moment, they all followed behind Zhao Hong, and entered the Wuwang Mansion with some arrogance.
Wuwangfu, this is this place, it has been pressing on their heads like a mountain all these years, after all, they are thieves with a weak heart, and they are always afraid that one day this Wuwangxin will suddenly jump off the bed and kill them cleanly.
It's easy for Wu Wangxin to die, but Wu Wangming is coming back again.
They are panicking, who can guess the thoughts of the imperial court, even if Wu Wangming does not kill them, they are afraid that one day the imperial court will kill rabbits and dogs, and birds will be hidden.
But as the days passed, there was no movement in the imperial court, and Wu Wangming was also trapped on the way back to Longxi.
They began to be a little excited, from today onwards, the Wuwang Mansion will no longer be able to press on their heads, and today, they will let the Wuwang Mansion be swept away.
Today, let Princess Ma come and beg them.
Today, we must raise our eyebrows and truly dominate Longxi.
