Chapter 574: Counter-killing
The hall was crowded with school officials, and Zhao Junsheng ordered someone to put Deng Tong's head on the table.
"You have all seen it, Deng Beijia was ordered to see the king of Goguryeo and asked to repatriate Feng Hong and his party, but they were brutally murdered!"
After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he looked at the generals and officials: "Let's talk about it, how should I deal with this matter?" β
Gao Xu stood up and hugged his fists and said: "General, as the saying goes, the two armies do not fight each other, Goguryeo's move is a blatant declaration of war, the last general will ask for war, send troops to Goguryeo, and pay the blood debt!" β
Previously, all the generals and officials knew that Zhao Junsheng's intention to let people build ships and lay pontoon bridges was just to scare Goguryeo, how could it be so easy to attack a country, and how could it be child's play? So no one thinks that Zhao Junsheng really wants to fight Goguryeo, and now that there is such a thing, if you don't fight, you have to fight, and no one can bear this evil anger.
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and raise a strong army to cross the river first to attack Liaodong City!" Wei Chi Yandong stood up and hugged his fists.
The generals of the other ministries were also filled with righteous indignation and came out to attack Goguryeo.
Jia Zhou was worried that extraneous branches would affect Zongai's plan, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Generals, don't be impatient, the purpose of our army's expedition this time is to attack the Yan Kingdom, and the emperor's will does not let us attack Goguryeo, if we rashly send troops to Goguryeo, I am afraid that it will affect the layout of the imperial court, in our opinion, we should report this matter to the imperial court first, and wait for the decision of the imperial court!" β
Someone immediately stood up and objected: "The prison army's words are wrong, Goguryeo rudely killed Deng Beijia, and regarded my Great Wei as nothing, completely in the eyes of my army, if you don't give Goguryeo a cruel lesson, how can you calm the anger of the soldiers?" β
"That's right! A certain is not very familiar with Deng Beijia, but a certain family also knows that Deng Beijia's hatred is the hatred of my colleagues, if I don't help him avenge his hatred, who else can help him avenge? Goguryeo is just Deng Beijia, but it is declaring war on our eastern army, how can we turn a blind eye? β
The words of these two aroused the excitement of the other generals, and they jumped out one by one to send troops to attack Goguryeo, all of them swore not to give up without troops.
Zhao Junsheng was worried that he could not arouse the morale of the army, and he was worried that there was no excuse to use force against Goguryeo, but Goguryeo killed Deng Tong and handed over the handle, how could he not seize this opportunity.
"The words of the generals won my heart, Deng Tong is my Youzhou don't drive, the Goguryeo people kill him is to be the enemy of tens of thousands of soldiers of my Youzhou army, this general is determined to send troops to Goguryeo, and if he does not fight, the king of Goguryeo will surrender and vow not to withdraw the army!"
The generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all geared up.
Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "Lieutenant Chi Yandong, I will give you 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to choose a river beach with gentle water tonight and secretly cross the river to attack Liaodong City!" β
"The last general obeys!" Wei Chi Yandong clenched his fists and agreed.
Zhao Junsheng also asked the generals and colonels to go back to reorganize their soldiers and horses and wait for military orders.
Jia Zhou hurriedly shouted: "Wait! General Zhao, you just issued a military order without authorization? Our family is also the supervisor of the imperial court, you have to ask our family's opinion, right? β
Zhao Junsheng looked at Jia Zhou coldly and said: "Father-in-law Jia, now all the soldiers and soldiers of the army are the same enemy, if you don't make a contribution and don't agree, it's just that you are still dragging your feet, what kind of heart do you have?" β
An official also scolded Jia Zhou: "Eunuch, it is precisely because of people like you in power that the imperial court is bullied by the surrounding countries, do you think that you can point fingers in the army with Zongai behind your back?" Phew! β
"You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Before Jia Zhou could speak, he was scolded by another general: "Eunuch shut up, the general summoned us to hold a military meeting and let you sit in on it is enough to save face, if you don't know what to do, don't know how to restrain yourself, don't blame a certain family for being unkind to you, a eunuch!" β
"You, youΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Okay, well, you have attacked Goguryeo without an imperial decree, and second, you have set up my prison army, and our family wants to impeach you! β
Jia Zhou shouted for a while, but left the lobby in a very embarrassed manner.
Zhao Junsheng looked at Jia Zhou's departing back, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, he said that Jia Zhou returned to his residence, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was attacked by a group in the army of the Eastern Expedition, and these generals and officials were not afraid of him, the supervisor appointed by the imperial court.
"No, you can't let Zhao Junsheng do this, once the war with Goguryeo starts, the situation is bound to erode, how can the imperial court transfer Zhao Junsheng? How can someone else be sent to preside over the overall situation of Liaodong? β
Jia Zhou thought about it for a long time, and he decided to take a risk, otherwise the situation would get out of control, and Zong Ai would definitely not let him go.
"Come on, go and invite General Qujin!"
"Yes, Overseer!"
It didn't take long for Qujin to walk in.
"The last general has seen the prison army!"
Jia Zhou said: "Go to General Jin, you know that Zhao Junsheng is going to send troops to attack Goguryeo, right?" β
Qu Jin nodded: "The last general has heard!" β
"How long does the general think the war with Goguryeo will last?"
Qu Jin shook his head: "How can this be said accurately?" Maybe two months, maybe a year, maybe three or five years are still fighting! β
Jia Zhou said in accordance with the words of the king: "Yes, once the war drags on for a long time, the plans of His Majesty the Emperor and the prince of the emperor will be variable!" The Rouran people, the Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Liang people are all eyeing our Great Wei, and we have already set up too many enemies to fight Goguryeo anymore! β
Qu Jin asked, "What do you want to do when the prison army called the last general over?" β
Jia Zhou said: "Go to General Jin, we can't let Zhao Junsheng mess around like this!" I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the imperial court actually had the intention of transferring Zhao Junsheng out of Youzhou, this is to let Zhao Junsheng lead the army to defeat the Yan State and then drop it, now that the war in Liaodong is nearing the end, the imperial court's order is already on the way at the moment, if Zhao Junsheng is allowed to send troops to attack Goguryeo, he can use this as an excuse to delay the transfer time! β
"Our family wants to take down Zhao Junsheng and take the military power of Youzhou in our hands, and this matter still needs the full assistance of General Qujin! Previously, the imperial court intended to set up the original Yan State as Yingzhou, and the governance office was located in Longcheng, as long as the general assisted our family in this matter, our family would recommend the general as the general of Yingzhou in front of the prince and His Majesty the emperor! β
From a general to a town general, this is not just a few jumps, the town general is a feudal official, and some town generals can have several armies under their jurisdiction, just like the difference between a division commander and a military district commander.
There was a scorching light in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what the prison army wants to do?" β
"That's what our family thinks, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· tonight"
At dusk, Zhao Junsheng called Gao Xu and Wei Chi Yandong over to make troop deployments.
"Wei Chi Yandong, after you take 5,000 men and horses to cross the river at night, you must quickly gain a firm foothold on the beachhead and set up a military formation, although it is a sneak attack on Liaodong City, but you can't be in a hurry, we must ensure that the back road is unblocked!"
Wei Chi Yandong clenched his fists and agreed: "Yes, general!" β
Zhao Junsheng said to Gao Xu again: "I will also give you 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, and your troops will cross the river at the fastest speed after Wei Chi Yandong's 5,000 men and horses cross the river and occupy the beachhead on the river bank. β
"Wei Chi Yandong, your 5,000 men and horses will wait for the arrival of the main force of the army led by General Ben after capturing Liaodong City, and then wave your division north to attack Houcheng!"
As soon as the deployment plan was completed, Guo Yi asked to see him outside the lobby, and Wei Chi Yandong and Gao Xu each said goodbye and left.
"My subordinates have seen the general!"
Zhao Junsheng looked up at Guo Yi and asked, "Jia Zhou is moving again?" β
Guo Yi was very surprised: "How did the general know?" β
Zhao Junsheng smiled: "How can he be convinced that he is treated like this by the generals and lieutenant generals and officials today?" I guess there will be action when I go back! Say, what kind of moth is Jia Zhou going to do? β
"Back to the general, Jia Zhou sent someone to call the Yulin army general to go to Jin, the two of them didn't know what they said, but after going back to Jin, they ordered to kill cattle and sheep to add food to the Yulin army generals, and they also sent someone to the military quartermaster to get a batch of arrows!"
"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was puzzled, "What the hell do Jia Zhouhe want to do?" β
Late at night.
Wei Chi Yandong's 5,000 men and horses and Gao Xu's 5,000 men and horses set off from the camp respectively, and Zhao Junsheng saw them leave, and then returned to the county government with his own guards.
At the Yulin Army station, a soldier hurriedly ran to Jia Zhouhe to report to him: "Qi Yu Prison Army, General, Zhao Junsheng returned to the county hall with his personal guards!" β
Jia Zhou immediately asked, "See clearly?" Confirm it's him? β
"Absolutely, yes!"
Hearing this, Jia Zhou turned his head to look at Qu Jin and nodded: "Go to General Jin, you can start!" β
Go to Jin and immediately said: "The book will come in, and all the soldiers of the Yulin Army will set off with the general!" β
"Yes!"
The dark night covered the tracks, and Jia Zhouhe went to Jin with three hundred soldiers of the Lin Army and soon came to the outside of the county office.
Go to Jin immediately sent someone to block the back door and side door of the county ya, Jia Zhou took out an edict and shouted to the Yulin army generals: "Your Majesty has a decree, Zhao Junsheng, the assassin of Youzhou, is plotting against the rebellion, and wants to do something to rebel, and now he is ordered to lead the Yulin army soldiers to kill him!" β
Qu Jin immediately pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the gate of the county government: "Soldiers, rush in with me and kill Zhao Junsheng, if you resist, don't worry about killing!" β
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Yulin Army agreed with a bang.
"Kill-" went to Jin and immediately rushed towards the county office, and the Yulin soldiers rushed to the county government with swords, guns, bows, and crossbows.
The soldiers stationed at the gate of the county government saw a large number of soldiers and horses rushing over shouting and killing, and they were so frightened that they immediately fled into the county government and tried to close the gate, but they were rushed into the yamen by rushing over.
A large number of shouts and killings came from the county ya, and when Jia Zhouhe and the Yulin soldiers rushed into the county ya, they soon found that something was wrong, the resistance was too weak and powerless, and there were not many guards in the county ya, and most of them retreated to the inner courtyard to hold on.
"No, no, Zhao Junsheng can't have only such a little guard by his side!" Jia Zhou realized that something was wrong and immediately said to Qujin.
At this moment, a large number of shouts and killings came from outside the county office, and countless Youzhou soldiers rushed into the county government with torches and weapons, and surrounded Jia Zhou, Qujin and the Yulin Legion.
Zhao Junsheng separated the generals and walked out.
Jia Zhou's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he immediately raised the edict in his hand and shouted to the Youzhou army: "Youzhou army soldiers, Zhao Junsheng gathered a crowd to rebel, His Majesty the Emperor has a decree, kill Zhao Junsheng, reward ten thousand gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" β
Zhao Junsheng said: "Fake! Kill General Ben! β
"Shoot the arrowsβ"
