Chapter 402: Thunder Means 4
These more than 200 people fell into the hands of the Imperial City Division's own army, and the Xiang army who escorted them went back early, seeing that Zhang Gou's words were powerful, he didn't dare to speak more, so he had to listen to the scolding, followed the people in front, entered Xiongzhou City, and came to the outside of the mansion that Tong Guan had already sent someone to take care of.
Guarding this mansion is Tong Guan's pro-army guards, and Yang Keshi and his subordinates and these pro-army guards are originally from the Jingyuan Army, so they will naturally know each other. At this time, these people who came from Jingyuan spoke with the accent of their hometown, and these guards guarding the house naturally felt cordial. What's more, it's even the same countryman.
Tong Guan felt a big headache, and hurriedly ordered Wang Huan to take these guards away from the door of the mansion and not to talk to these people in private. Zhang Gou ordered the gate of the house to be opened and let the people go in one by one, and ordered a team of personal servants to guard these people in the house, and another team of personal officials to guard the front and back gates of the house and two small gates.
Tong Guan saw that Zhang Gou's detention had been arranged, so he called Wang Huan again and asked him to take the pro-army to just guard outside the house, and not let people enter and leave at will, and not to talk to people in the courtyard. Wang Huan agreed one by one.
Tong Guan went to the post house with Zhang Gouzhi and replied to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.
Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, listened to Zhang Gou's report, nodded, and said to Tong Guan: "The family of the anti-thief is already here, and the next thing is for you to send someone to Yanjing to deliver the letter." ”
Tong Guan asked puzzledly: "The families of these thieves are always the people of my Great Song Dynasty, how to deal with them, and I don't need to tell those people in Yanjing?" ”
Yun Wang Zhao Kai smiled, and then said: "Taishi, this is a strategy of Young Master Wang, called killing chickens and forcing monkeys. ”
Tong Guan shook his head when he heard that it was Wang Huang's idea, and said: "Third prince, the old minister doesn't know, what is killing chickens and monkeys? This chicken and monkey are not of the same species, how can they force each other? If they killed the families of Yang Keshi and others, how could those people be afraid? Not to mention using this to persecute fans. ”
Zhao Kai saw that Tong Guan couldn't understand, so he was very proud, and said: "Taishi should know that Yang Keshi is in Zhou Nan's Wansheng Army, and he is Zhou Nan's right-hand man. ”
Tong Guan nodded and said, "Don't hide it from the third prince, this is still the old minister who instructed Yang Keshi to hide in the Wansheng army of Fanren, in order to keep a backhand." This Yang Keshi also took the official seal of Zhuoyi Erzhou for the imperial court, but later Liu Yanqing commanded indiscriminately, disrupted the old minister's plan, and ended up in the current situation. That Yang Keshi...... It's not necessarily that he really joined the Wansheng Army, but he hasn't contacted me for a long time. ”
Zhao Kai laughed and said to Tong Guan: "Taishi's original plan was good, but Yang Keshi is becoming more and more centrifuged, and it is not Taishi's business - that Zhou Nan relies on Yang Keshi, but Taishi knows?" ”
Tong Guan said: "The old minister naturally knows. This Yang Keshi is indeed a fierce general in commanding the army, and Zhou Nan and the others were born in the mountains, so how could they know about marching and fighting? Doesn't it all rely on Yang Keshi to train and train? Zhou Nan naturally relied on Yang Keshi. ”
"That Zhou Nan was soft-hearted and kind-hearted, and would rather give up Yanjing City than make unprovoked killings, can the Taishi know about these?" Zhao Kai asked again.
Of course these children have heard of it. If it is according to a person who leads the army, Zhou Nan's actions are indeed not decisive enough, and in order to kill a few fewer people, he would rather walk a long way by himself. Emperor Maode was able to persuade Zhou Nan to let Zhou Nan give up Yanjing City to the Great Song Dynasty because Liu Yanqing was ruthless enough to press down those soldiers who were unfavorable in attacking the city in front of Zhou Nan and slash them row by row. If he Tong Guan is in the position of Zhou Nan, what do you Liu Yanqing have to do with me cutting your soldiers? You cut yours, and I'll see how many people you can cut at the head of the city. 8090
It is necessary to know that the battle between the two armies is not the time to talk about personal grievances and feelings. But this week Nan is still too tender, or too soft-hearted, too kind. I can't bear to let these Song soldiers be innocently beheaded because of themselves. It just so happened that Emperor Maode was in front of the army, and he couldn't bear to see Liu Yanqing kill these soldiers, so he stepped forward and persuaded Zhou Nan.
It was also Zhou Nan and Emperor Maode that were both benevolent women, so Liu Yanqing picked up a Yanjing City in vain.
Now listening to Zhao Kai talk about this characteristic of Zhou Nan, Tong Guan nodded and said: "This Zhou Nan is indeed a bodhisattva. ”
Zhao Kai snorted coldly and said, "I want to see if his Bodhisattva is a real Bodhisattva or a fake Bodhisattva!" After a pause, Zhao Kai continued: "Send someone to repair a book and send it to this Bodhisattva, saying that the defeat of the imperial army is due to the rebel general Yang Keshi leading his subordinates to do pro-army, relying on the rebels, aiding and abusive, plundering officers and soldiers, and not obeying orders. According to military law, he himself was punished, and Yang Keshi and other rebels were ordered to rush to Xiongzhou within 10 days and obey the disposal. If not, they will be executed in front of the army as an example. In this way, let's see how Zhou Nan does this bodhisattva. ”
Tong Guan couldn't help asking: "What if Zhou Nan was angry and led his men and horses to attack Xiongzhou City and ask for these people?" ”
Zhao Kai laughed and said, "He, Zhou Nan Bodhisattva, has a heart, how can he use this Vajra demon subjugation method?" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, and Zhao Kai turned his mouth and said: "Besides, Xiongzhou City is the largest city in Beiguan, strong and majestic, and there are heavy troops stationed in the city, how can he Zhou Nan say that he can attack it?" ”
Looking at Tong Guan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Kai suddenly said: "Taishi, isn't it that you can't even defend the city?!" ”
Seeing Zhao Kai staring at his eyes, Tong Guan was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "The old minister didn't mean that. In the previous new defeat, there were still 40,000 troops in the city, which was enough to defend the city. Tong Guan really didn't know how many soldiers and horses there were now, especially after the last defeat, Liu Yanqing was quickly escorted to the prison in the capital. Tong Guan also had no intention of rectifying the soldiers and horses, and the exact number was not clear. Now seeing Zhao Kai asking, I am afraid that Zhao Kai is worried that the lack of soldiers and horses will affect the plan of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, so he hurriedly casually pinched a number of 40,000 to make Zhao Kai feel at ease.
"That's good." King Yun immediately took out a sealed letter, handed it to Tong Guan, and said: "I have already written a letter here, and I ask Taishi to send someone to send it to the Wansheng army, and tell them that if it is less than ten days, they will have to go to the Baigou River to fish for their corpses." ”
Tong Guan took it and asked with a wry smile: "Three princes, the old minister really doesn't know, it is this Wansheng army that depends on the three princes, what does it have to do with calming down the chaos in Yanjing?" ”
Zhao Kai regained his usual calm and luxurious, smiled, and said confidently: "Wan Shengjun obeys my orders, and you can let Wan Shengjun recapture Yanjing City for me, so that the chaos in Yanjing will be calmed down." Young Master Wang's plan is really a clever plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf! Hahaha! ”
Tong Guan heard Zhao Kai praise Wang Hao, and secretly hated Wang Hao in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "The old minister wishes the three princes to calm Yanjing, so that they can share the worries of the official family." ”
Zhao Kai didn't forget to say proudly: "With the help of the Grand Master, I will naturally report to my father." ”
Tong Guan's face smiled even more.
