Chapter 17 17
Wang Zike and Yang Jinchao, the overseer in the tent, showed a wry smile and anger at this moment, who would have thought that their incident would be played by those despicable thieves, according to Yang Gexiang's news, the emperor was furious, and hated the two of them very much, and now they are reporting to the court one by one, where do they have the heart to care about these idle things.
Yang Jinchao's sharp voice sounded: "Our family almost lost this life, Lord Wang, this military is dangerous, but you have to be cautious." Wang Zike also said: "That's, that's, what Yang Jianjun said is very true, this Huaiqing Mansion was trapped, but it's all a matter of local officials, you look at this intelligence, ten cavalry to capture the city, it's really a joke, when I don't know about the military?" Yang Jinchao also nodded yes.
But the officials of Henan Mansion don't see it that way, now Dingguo Gong is chasing and suppressing thieves, and the soldiers who can be used in the north of Henan are soldiers in Beijing, and the urgent reports from several counties around Huaiqing Mansion have been reported to Wang Zike's desk one by one. But they were all ignored by the king, and he was now unknown, just waiting for the will of the court.
A few days later, the imperial court's will finally came down, Cao Qianlie's appointment, shocked the world's exclamation, for a while the power was menacing, plus the title of Taibao, leading Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Hubei, Sichuan, the five provinces of the general military officer, full-time to exterminate the thieves, so powerful, the first person since the Great Jing Dynasty. It is said that when Cao Tianlie received the will, he was full of tears and vowed to repay the country's kindness with his life. And Wang Zike and Yang Jinchao also escaped the catastrophe and were allowed to make meritorious contributions to exterminate the thieves.
And Liu Qing and his subordinates lurked in the land of Maishan, watching the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp enter the city of Huaiqing Mansion with arrogance, and the soldiers of the Dingying Battalion who were left behind retreated pretendedly, while Zheng Yiling and his subordinates hid, and the soldiers of the Beijing Battalion occupied the city of Huaiqing Mansion.
So when the excited Cao Shinian led a thousand light horsemen to Huaiqing Mansion City, what he saw was a city like a dead city, which was full of ruins, and the government that once represented the imperial court had been burned down, and the soldiers in the city were wantonly searching for the so-called thieves, one by one doing nothing, eating and drinking.
Cao Shinian scolded loudly: "You rice buckets, why don't you know how to intercept these thieves and let them run away." Hearing Cao Shinian say this, Jingying Qian always felt that his face couldn't be hanged, and said coldly: "My brothers and I fought bloodily to recover Huaiqing Mansion City, if General Cao has the heart, he can naturally pursue the thieves." ”
At this time, hearing this Jingying Qianzong say this, Cao Shinian Huo Ran looked back, but his face flashed with ruthlessness, and he was startled by his direct gaze, Cao Shinian raised the document in his hand: "Dingguo Gong ordered me to chase down this thief, everything should be handed over to me, and the army in northern Henan is under my control. Without waiting for Mr. Jingying Qian to speak, Cao Shinian snorted: "Sit back and watch the thieves go, what do you want, left and right, take it for me." ”
After saying this, Cao Shinian's personal guards had already taken down this Jingying Qianzong, and this Jingying Qianzong never dreamed that things would be like this, he shouted loudly: "Cao Shinian, what are you going to do, you want to know that grandpa has recovered Huaiqing Mansion City?" ”
"What? Haha, of course it's to kill you, hum, there's no light in your eyes, what's the use of you. Listening to the words of this Qianzong, Cao Shinian laughed, and looked at the Qianzong guards who were about to come forward, Cao Shinian said: "What, do you want to disobey the order of Dingguo Gong?" ”
Hearing this, the guards who were about to step forward hesitated suddenly, and when they saw the general manager of Jingying who was still noisy, Cao Shinian drew his sword and plunged a sword into his chest, and blood suddenly gushed out.
The Jingying Qianzong, covering his wounds, made a "silky" sound in his mouth, as if he couldn't believe that Cao Shinian had killed himself like this, he pointed at Cao Shinian, as if he was about to say something, but there was a convulsion, and he finally fell to the ground.
At this moment, all the people were shocked, but everyone felt a burst of fire, their adults were killed in front of them, especially those guards, there seemed to be fire in their eyes to make people feel the resentment inside, Cao Shinian snorted and scolded: "I don't know whether to live or die." Then he said to those people in the capital camp: "Tell you, your lord Wang is now a guilty body, in this land of northern Henan, he also has to be controlled by the Duke of Dingguo, Duan only has no military discipline, has been killed by the general, you can say it if you are not convinced." The soldiers in the Beijing camp were confused for a while, and there were a few cronies who were waiting to clamo for something, Cao Shinian made a look, and the officers next to him shot arrows, and shot through the throat of that person at once.
The blood suddenly calmed everyone down, and Cao Shinian said fiercely: "Are you still unconvinced?" Looking at the ghost-faced cavalry who surrounded them firmly, looking at the sharp arrows and the snowy blades, they said hatefully: "I will be respected." Cao Shinian said: "Okay, just take it, do you know what to do?" ”
When they saw this, all the generals of the Beijing camp lowered their heads, but the look of humiliation in their eyes was extremely obvious, and only one of them said hypocritically: "I don't dare to wait, Duan only has no military discipline, he deserves it, and General Cao is good to kill." Hearing this, Cao Shinian laughed and said, "Okay, you can speak, you should know what to do, hum." "Put the total only promise.
Cao Shinian clapped his palms and said: "Okay, we are all pillars of the court, and we will not hesitate to reward the thieves here, but now one person will first divide one tael of silver, if the thief is killed, each person will be divided into two taels." ”
But the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion below did not think as Cao Shinian imagined, but just said a few words of thanks silently. Cao Shinian looked at them, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Now, it's time to pay a visit to Wang Zike, hum." After all that is said. , he said to the general manager of the Beijing camp: "You are so good to guard the city, I will go to see your general soldier Wang, hum." After saying that, he took a thousand ghost-faced cavalry and left, leaving only a place of dust for the two thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp.
The general manager, who was still submissive just now, threw out the silver in his hand at once, and said to them: "Dog day things." The soldiers of the Beijing camp also burst out in an instant.
Let's say that those soldiers of the Beijing camp threw their silver taels on the ground one after another, and the unique pride of the Beijing camp gave them a natural sense of superiority over the local army, but today these people can be said to be very embarrassed, looking at the hideous corpse of the Jingying Qianzong.
The general was also full of clouds, and someone had already surrounded him and said, "Lord Hong, what should we do." The general surnamed Hong scolded: "What else can I do, first put away the body of Mr. Qian, this revenge, must be avenged, bah." ”
The people around them were also scolding and scattering, but some of the soldiers asked, "My lord, this silver." Seeing the factors thrown on the ground, Mr. Qian, surnamed Hong, said: "Just keep it for Mr. Qian." And then he went down.
On the side of Maishan, Liu Qing and his soldiers in the Dingyu camp were practicing day and night, at this time, Sun Dadou, who was reconnoitring in the shadows, had already reported today's incident, and Liu Qing said with excitement on his face: "What you said is true, Cao Shinian took his ghost-faced cavalry to kill the Qian Zong of the Beijing camp with a sword. Sun Dadou's face was covered with sweat, but he still said: "General, haha, it's true, now the situation in Huaiqing Mansion is unstable, but Cao Shinian is going in the direction of Zhangde Mansion." ”
"God help me." After hearing this, Liu Qing almost jumped out, and then asked, "Then Zheng Yiling, how are they in the city." Sun Dadou said: "There is no abnormality. Then he retreated.
Liu Qing's heart was full of excitement, and at this time, Du Chenggeng on the side said, "General." After Liu Qing saw him, he didn't give him any good looks, and snorted a few words, after all, the image that this person gave him was really not good, although he didn't kill him, but it was also based on his talent. But this can't change the disgust for Du Chenggeng, I don't know what's going on, when he saw Du Chenggeng's appearance, Liu Qing felt that his scheming was too deep.
However, Du Chenggeng flashed with a strange smile and said, "General." Liu Qing looked at him and said, "Call the master." In the past few days, Du Chenggeng has forgotten his identity.
Hearing this, Du Chenggeng's face finally had a trace of unnaturalness, but he still said, "Congratulations to the master." "Huh?" Liu Qing became interested and asked, "Where does my joy come from?" Du Chenggeng hurriedly laughed and said: "Of course, I congratulate the master on breaking Huaiqing Mansion City." Hearing this, Liu Qing's face changed, looked at Du Chenggeng and sneered, and said, "You are so observant." ”
However, Du Chenggeng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment." At this moment, Liu Qing has already made a slight change in his heart about Du Chenggeng, with this observation, he is a person with a heart, not afraid of no virtue, just afraid of no talent.
Liu Qing snorted a few words and said, "What do you think my chances are tonight?" Du Chenggeng said: "Ten out of ten." Liu Qing smiled: "How can you see it? Du Chenggeng said confidently: "In the past few days, I have observed that the captive camp is thriving, the general governs the army well, and the morale of the soldiers is high, and although the Beijing camp is strong, it was killed by someone with a sword. Hearing Du Chenggeng's words. Liu Qing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why, do you dare to come together tonight." ”
After hearing this, Du Chenggeng, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly softened and said, "This, the student doesn't dare." Seeing his appearance, Liu Qing hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Heng, who was on the side, was full of disdain, and let out a heavy "hum", but Du Chenggeng didn't have the slightest fluctuation in his expression.
No longer bothering Du Chenggeng, Liu Qing said: "Let them all come over." After hearing this, Wang Heng hurriedly went down to greet the captains of the rest teams, and looking at the appearance of these subordinates, Liu Qing said: "Are you a little puzzled by my abandonment of Huaiqing Mansion City. Everyone didn't say anything, and Liu Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to take him another time today." As soon as Liu Qing's words fell, Qian Xing, who was on the side, immediately said: "My lord, this Beijing camp is still in Huaiqing Mansion City." Hearing this, Liu Qing said to Sun Dadou Nunu, Sun Dadou hurriedly told the news he had just inquired about, and everyone was excited after hearing it.
Qian Xing said with a smile: "I didn't expect Cao Shinian to be so domineering." Gu Liangyong said: "He is the nephew of Dingguo Gong and has capital. After finishing speaking, Gu Liang said in a strange way: "My lord, this Huaiqing prefect is also surnamed Cao......
When he heard this, Liu Qing smiled, but did not reply. It turned out that when he gave up Huaiqing Mansion City, Liu Qing and more than 1,000 of them came to this Maishan to hide, and by the way, they also brought the Huaiqing Prefect's family.
Liu Qing has always recalled that look, which made him a little dazed, not knowing what was going on, the perennial killing, made him have some feelings unique to adolescence, and he was deeply suppressed.
But this did not prevent Liu Qing from attaching importance to Cao Qingrou, so he brought the Huaiqing prefect's family with him, of course, Cao Xuanwang was inevitably angry during this period.
At this time, Liu Qing looked at the subordinates around him who were waiting for him to speak, only to find that he was a little stunned at this time, and thought to himself: What do you think, it is important to survive first now, these messy things will be talked about in a while.
Liu Qing sorted out his thoughts and said: "Tonight, I waited for the second attack on Huaiqing, although there were many soldiers in the Beijing camp, but some time ago, I waited for ten horsemen and eleven people, and dared to conquer Huaiqing, and now we have more than 1,000 elite soldiers, what is there to fear, Sun Dadou." ”
"The subordinates are here." Hearing Liu Qing calling himself, the thin Sun Dadou hurriedly came out, and Liu Qing said: "You continue to observe the situation within thirty miles of Huaiqing Mansion, and if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes." "My subordinates obey." After hearing this, Sun Dadou hurriedly accepted the order.
Liu Qing said again: "Wang Heng." "The subordinates are here." The black tower-like king Heng responded to the line, "You select a hundred elite soldiers from each team, and tonight the city is on fire, and you immediately lead people to enter the city first." "My subordinates obey." Wang Heng, who was extremely excited, ordered the result.
"Zheng Shinian." "The subordinates are here." Zheng Shinian responded to the call: "You led a hundred people to stay in Maishan." "This ...... Yes, subordinates obey. Zheng Shinian accepted the order with some reluctance. Liu Qing said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, there will be something to fight in the future." The crowd burst into laughter.
Then, Liu Qing said again: "Others, follow me on the expedition, Kehuaiqing Mansion City tonight." All the people agreed in unison.
In a house not far away, Cao Xuanwang's family lived, Cao Qingrou listened to the voice over there, but she was a little stunned, Cao Xuanwang also vaguely heard the word "Huaiqing", and scolded: "These thieves." After another pause, he said, "Rou'er." ”
His father called herself, and Cao Qingrou said, "Daddy, what's the matter." Cao Xuanwang looked at his daughter's delicate face, but he let out a long sigh and didn't say anything, just now he wanted his daughter to take the opportunity to kill Liu Qing, but looking at his daughter's innocent face, he really found that he couldn't be ruthless, but his family was going to stay in the thief's den for the rest of his life.
couldn't help it, Cao Xuanwang, tears flowed out.
Cao Qingrou said: "Daddy, what's wrong with you." Cao Xuanwang smiled at Qiang and said, "Daddy is fine, Rou'er, you have to protect yourself." Hearing this, Cao Qingrou's face turned red, and she didn't say anything, just lowered her head.
