Chapter 398: Literati Style
Deng Kai's execution ability is still very strong, and after Tianlang told him to switch to using carrier pigeons for communication, he immediately began to deal with it.
A large number of carrier pigeons were sent to the major defense points of the Ming army, including Changsha, but before the carrier pigeons were delivered, He Tengjiao's urgent letter arrived in Liuzhou through the Hongling urgent envoy, and He Tengjiao did not know that Tianlang had gone to Zhaoqing.
Qianqian was furious after receiving He Tengjiao's letter, and was shocked, Li Dingguo didn't take the Ming monarch and ministers in his eyes at all, and went alone.
But she couldn't help it, and at this time, she couldn't restrain Li Dingguo at all, so she ordered Jinyiwei to immediately forward this information and pass it to Tianlang through carrier pigeons to see if he could have a way to remedy it.
After receiving this letter, Tianlang's mood was no different from Qianqian's, but at this time, even if Li Dingguo could be arrested immediately to ask for guilt, it would be useless.
After burning He Tengjiao's letter, Tianlang became more and more depressed, and the plan he worked hard for more than half a year to formulate was actually a huge mistake because of one person, which was simply a stroke that ruined the Ming army's defense in the entire Huguang defense.
Immediately after that, another picture immediately appeared in his mind, He Tengjiao was in danger, and Changsha City was in danger.
Changsha City can be fought back if it is lost, but after all, He Tengjiao is the first assistant of the dynasty, the biological father of Du Heng and Fang Zhi, how can he send him into the sea of fire? Yes, no, he must not be allowed to be buried in the fire, even if he is exchanged for other ministers, Tianlang is also willing, because He Tengjiao is one of the few ministers who can be trusted in the court.
So Tianlang immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter to He Tengjiao, ordering him to immediately hand over the defense affairs with his subordinates, and go to Li Dingguo in person, either to bring Li Dingguo back to Changsha, or he and Li Dingguo will wait for him to go to Xingshi in person to ask for the guilt, and he will immediately turn around and go to Hengzhou, and then decide how to deal with this matter when the situation progresses.
After Tianlang wrote this letter, he sent it out through carrier pigeons, and he really changed his destination immediately and went to Hengzhou, and only brought more than 300 Jinyi guards with him, leaving most of the Jinyi guards and Qin Gongming's 3,000 stone pillar army on the way to Zhaoqing.
Zhaoqing City must go, the plan must not be changed, leaving most of the pro-army is to hide people's eyes and ears, so that the ministers with two ambitions who have been taken away by him have been drawn by him in the heart of the red circle and cross, mistakenly think that he is still going to escape, and he has to go to Zhaoqing.
And when he left, he also made a lot of arrangements, and when these people arrived in Zhaoqing, Zhaoqing immediately imposed a curfew, blocked the city gates, and did not allow anyone to enter or leave, so that the news of his absence in Zhaoqing would never reach the ears of Zilharang.
Tianlang left, so eagerly, but when He Tengjiao received a letter from Tianlang, he laughed.
How could he not know the emperor's intentions? His Majesty the Emperor, who is very likely to become his future uncle, is worried about his own safety, and letting himself chase Li Dingguo back is just to get himself out of Changsha, which is about to become a sea of fire purgatory.
He concluded that it was impossible for Li Dingguo to return to Changsha, and for a general who led his troops to fight, the most taboo thing was to take back what he had said.
But if he really pretended to be an afterthought and honestly took refuge in Li Dingguo, what would Changsha City do? What should the emperor do if he worked hard to make the entire campaign plan for more than half a year in order to revive the Daming Society?
He Tengjiao thinks that he is not a hero, he can't strategize to make the world three points, he can't scold Fang Xuan, and the longboard bridge broke off to scare off hundreds of thousands of Cao troops.
But he is not a bear, he is a literati, but he has the backbone, spirit and ambition to be a man and a literati.
Also after burning Tianlang's letter in the brazier, He Tengjiao scalded a pot of wine, drank it all and climbed to the top of the city.
In a post station called Qingxiyi, Tianlang is also drinking alone, here is less than half a day's journey from Shaozhou City, Tianlang almost rushed here in one breath, after Shaozhou Mansion, it is Nanxiong Mansion, and then north to Huguang boundary.
There are only four small dishes on the table, a jar of turbid wine, Tianlang poured himself a drink, and calculated badly in his heart, the team going to Zhaoqing must have entered the city at this time, and the city gates on all sides should have been blocked now, Zhaoqing is the cage of those people who took the Ming Dynasty Wusha but had an ambiguous relationship with the Qing court and acted as spies for the enemy, but Tianlang himself crossed Zhaoqing and walked many more distances.
After thinking about Zhaoqing, and thinking of He Tengjiao, he must have received his letter now, and he should also leave Changsha and go to Li Dingguo.
Tianlang didn't believe that He Tengjiao could pull Li Dingguo back, but at least he himself was safe, and he was the head of the court, and the role and contribution of the Chu party leader to the imperial court was self-evident.
As for Changsha City, without Li Dingguo's 100,000 army, it is a matter of time before the city is broken, but Tianlang is really reluctant to let He Shoufu, who has an old man in his family, be buried with Changsha City.
And the next battle plan, how should it be arranged? Tianlang thought a lot, thought about it, and thought of Qianqian in his heart.
Thinking of the day of the birthday, several people drank purple rice porridge together early in the morning, although the first night when Qianqian was in the hot spring was stirred by Ma Hanxiang, but Qianqian's mood was not bad.
Tianlang was also angry when he heard that Ma Hanxiang was such a good person, but Qianqian told Tianlang to tell him to leave this matter alone.
Looking at the waning moon in the sky, only the memory of Qianqian, especially in the days when we played together in Longsheng Mountain, can I get a little comfort in Tianlang's messy heart when I look back on it.
"I assure you, what kind of Ma Hanxiang, I only thought that Ma Rulong arranged for her to come to listen to the party, after all, she is more familiar with Long Shengshan than us, so it is convenient to take you to have a play, but I didn't expect her to be such a person, I don't have to wait until tomorrow, I will find her after dinner and let you follow."
This is the explanation after knowing that Qianqian was wronged, Tianlang was angry, Tianlang also felt that he was obviously bringing his wife to play, but he provoked a stomach for no reason, and he nodded his head and let Ma Hanxiang enter the Zhuangzi, but his wife was humiliated by her, explain, and then he had to settle accounts with Ma Hanxiang.
It's just that he didn't expect that when he wanted to settle accounts with Ma Rulong and Ma Hanxiang, they had already run away.
I still remember that at that time, Qianqian restrained her speculative gaze and smiled lightly, "You don't care about this matter, just a single Ma Hanxiang wants you to come out for us, and we probably don't have the face to say to outsiders that it is the woman of Emperor Yongli." ”
