Chapter 230: Lobbyist

On the Evil Sun Ridge, there was a slaughter. The camp tents are scattered, the guard towers are dense, and the horses are hideous.

In the big tent, Li Jing sat on the upper seat, looked at Zhang Yunwen below, and asked lightly: "The old man pressed Yunwen's credit to serve the public, has Yunwen ever been dissatisfied?" ”

Zhang Yunwen shook his head: "The general is too worried, how can Yunwen be the kind of person with a small belly, what the general is worried about is to start from the overall situation, from the overall situation, and naturally have other considerations." As for the exploits of the last general, how can they be erased in a few words! ”

Li Jing's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of praise in his eyes: "Good! It's rare that Yunwen understands the righteousness so well, the old man wanted to persuade Yunwen, but now it seems that there is no need! That being the case, the old man will talk to you about the matter! ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard the word "business", he immediately straightened up and listened attentively.

Li Jing said: "Now that the Evil Yang Ridge has been occupied by my Tang Dynasty, the old man is thinking about seeking to capture Xiangcheng. Now that I have received the news, it is said that the two generals of Dingxiangcheng are not in harmony, Yunwen, you can talk about how to use the discord between the two generals? ”

Zhang Yunwen pondered for a moment, then raised his head suddenly and said: "Since my Tang army attacked the Evil Yang Ridge with the power of thunder, Dingxiang was terrified, and the Turks were shocked. If the general sends a clever and eloquent person to Dingxiang City to persuade one of the generals to open the city gate to meet our army, then Dingxiang will be broken! ”

Li Jing smiled: "Yunwen really went to the same place with me!" The old man Guan Dingxiang two generals, Kang Sumi and Bu Luye, each of them commanded the army, but they squeezed each other. That Bu Lu Ye is a veteran who has commanded the army for many years, and his brother Bu Lu Yuan died at the hands of our Tang Army. Oh, it was when your reconnaissance battalion pretended to be horse thieves to attack the Turkic mission, so the old man thought that this step could be killed but could not be surrendered. And although Kang Sumi is a confidant of Jieli, he is a treacherous fox, the head of the rat at both ends, but he is a persuasive person! ”

Zhang Yunwen also smiled and followed Li Jing's train of thought: "Since the target has been decided, the rest is the persuasion personnel sent to Dingxiang City." Nowadays, most of the barracks are reckless soldiers, and the only people who can be eloquents are those students of the staff department! Doesn't the general want to send those students to be lobbyists? ”

Li Jing smiled "haha": "That's right!" The old man looks at those little guys, but the potential is endless! If you are a good student and cultivated, you will definitely be able to become a great thing! ”

Zhang Yunwen frowned and said, "But General, those students are still young, and they have never experienced this kind of battle, can they really complete the task?" ”

Li Jing looked at Zhang Yunwen and said with a smile: "Young? They seem to be the same age as Yunwen! As for not having experienced it, that's not a problem. Call them in front of me, I will wait for the good students to sum it up, see what to say, how to answer when I hear the other party's question, consider all kinds of situations, set the outline bottom line, and the rest can be played by themselves! ”

Zhang Yunwen stretched his brows and waved to Li Jing: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

At that moment, Li Jing and Zhang Yunwen were there to enter Dingxiang City, and after seeing that Kang Sumi, what should they say, what questions Kang Sumi might ask, how to answer, and so on. It has been more than an hour, and the two of them have not been able to stop talking.

Li Jing explained to Zhang Yunwen: "Yunwen, you have to say it word for word to those little guys!" As for how to enter Dingxiang City, that's your business, the old man doesn't care! ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Don't worry, the general has his own arrangements!" ”

Coming to the camp where the staff officers lived, Zhang Yunwen summoned all the staff officers to gather in the tent, and then told the matter, and finally said: "This time in Dingxiang City, in line with the principle of voluntariness, you and others who are willing to go can come out to report!" Well, but you have to think about it carefully, this is not a trivial matter, although the credit is very great, but it is very easy to lose your life! ”

After Zhang Yunwen finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the silent students below. Students, you look at me, I look at you, but I am a little hesitant.

Finally, Qin Feng, one of the students, stood up calmly: "My lord, the students are willing to go!" ”

As soon as Qin Feng stood up, a person next to him hurriedly said: "Yangqing, you have to think about it, you may lose your life if you go!" "This person is Qin Feng's friend Fan Cheng.

Qin Feng smiled at Fan Cheng and said, "Zhengming, I've already thought about this matter, don't persuade me anymore!" ”

Seeing Qin Feng's resolute attitude, Fan Cheng had no choice but to hold his mouth, looked at Qin Feng, gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then I will accompany Yang Qing to go with you!" ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly, and was about to persuade, but seeing Fan Cheng's stubborn eyes, he smiled bitterly at the moment: "Zhengming, why are you doing this?" ”

Without waiting for Qin Feng to continue, Fan Cheng walked up to Zhang Yunwen and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the student is willing to go with Qin Feng!" ”

Qin Feng also said, "My lord, the students are willing to go!" ”

Zhang Yunwen looked at the two of them, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he first said to the other students: "Since there are already people who are willing to go, then there is nothing for you to wait for, you wait and retreat first!" ”

All the students waved to Zhang Yunwen and slowly withdrew from the big tent.

Seeing everyone withdraw from the big tent, Zhang Yunwen smiled and said, "Since you two are willing to go, then I will tell you about some things that need to be paid attention to!" Well, by the way, I'll ask you one last time, are you two really willing to go? ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "I'm willing!" ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately listened to the words he had discussed with Li Jing. The two listened attentively, memorized with their hearts, and nodded from time to time. After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunwen gave another face-to-face lecture, and finally patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you two, I will send soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion to accompany you into Dingxiang City!" With their protection, you can rest assured! ”

The two of them immediately looked happy.

After the confession, Zhang Yunwen walked out of the big tent. At this time, there was a high-pitched and excited recitation sound from inside the big tent: "The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and my heart is uneven." Yazhang resigned from the phoenix, and rode around the dragon city. The snow is dark and the flag is painted, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. Rather be a centurion than a scholar...... Haha, it's better to be a scholar! ”

Hearing this song "From the Army", Zhang Yunwen's body suddenly stagnated slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That night, the five reconnaissance battalion soldiers led by Wang Ke, Qin Feng and Fan Cheng, dressed in black clothes and black armor, quickly rode out of the camp and ran in the direction of Dingxiang City.

The horses under everyone's crotch are also black, and under the cover of the night, they are running at a gallop, only to feel the sound of the wind, but it is difficult to see people.

It took half an hour to come to the outside of Dingxiang City, and everyone first hid their horses in a dense forest, and then those reconnaissance battalion soldiers smeared the sap of plants and trees and black soil on their faces, which looked a little hideous at first glance.

"Uh, that, Brother Wang, what are you doing with these things? Shall we paint it? Qin Feng asked cautiously, for fear that Wang Ke would say the word "will"!

Wang Ke smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "After painting these things, and then looking at the firelight, I thought it was some kind of mandrill ghost, and I would definitely be startled." With this scare, I can kill him! ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he felt that it made sense, and he nodded suddenly, and then heard Wang Ke say: "The two of you are going to persuade the lobbyist of Kang Sumi, if you also paint these things, won't you lose my face as a Tang Dynasty!" That's why I won't paint it on you! ”

Qin Feng and the others were relieved.

Although it is a loess city wall, there are not many places on the wall for standing guards, but inside and outside the city wall, there are Turkic infantry with torches patrolling. After going around the small Dingxiang City for most of the time, the soldiers finally found a place that was very easy to sneak into.

There is a crack in the loess city wall here that is two fingers wide, but through the crack, I can see that there are only two lights in the city wall, and the sound of water can be faintly heard, presumably there is a water area in the city wall. The Turks, on the other hand, boasted that there were waters here, so there were fewer guards.

Wang Ke nodded to a soldier, who immediately drew his saber and plunged it into the earthen wall, slowly climbing up. The difficulty of climbing this earth wall is even less difficult than the earth cliff that Liu Cheng led people to climb when he was in the Evil Yang Ridge. I saw that this soldier used both hands and feet, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to climb over the earthen wall nearly two feet high. I heard a faint sound of water from behind the earthen wall, and then a rope flew over and landed on the earthen wall. This rope is a little strange, I saw that the short rope with the thickness of a finger and a length of about two inches hung on the rope, and there was a faint metallic luster on the rope head.

A soldier quickly climbed over the earthen wall with the help of a rope, and a moment later, another rope was placed on the earthen wall.

Wang Ke stepped forward, put the two ropes side by side, and then picked up the short rope on the two ropes and fastened the metal on the rope head. One by one, a rope ladder appeared in front of Qin Feng and the others.

"Brother Qin, Brother Fan, please!" Wang Ke chuckled under his breath.

Qin Feng and Fan Cheng were already stunned when they saw this rope ladder, and when they heard Wang Ke say this, they came back to their senses, hugged their fists at Wang Ke, and then slowly stepped on the soft rope ladder.

The difficulty of climbing the rope ladder is still very high. Fortunately, there is this item in the basic training program of the Military Academy, and Qin Feng. Fan Cheng and the others also happened to practice! Even so, it took Qin Feng and Fan Cheng nearly two quarters of an hour to climb over this earthen wall and enter the city.

Wang Ke and the others outside the city wall suddenly heard an obvious sound of water. Fortunately, there were not many Turkic soldiers patrolling here, and after the sound, no one heard it.

Wang Kegang wanted to scold, but remembered that the two of them were staff officers, and what they were good at was their brains and mouths, so he was stupid. Walked to the bottom of the rope ladder and climbed over the earthen wall in three or two clicks.

I climbed over the earthen wall, and sure enough, I saw a pool of clear water on this side of the earthen wall. This pool of clear water covers a vast area, and there are many aquatic plants in it. The scout battalion guards were on the edge of the waterhole, waiting for Wang Ke and them.

When the waterhole reached the city wall, there was only a half-foot-wide ridge, which was covered with moss, and no one could stand. Across the waterhole is a wide street. Abandoned houses stand on the side of the street. The reason why they are abandoned houses is that the roofs and walls of these houses can be seen crumbling in the dim light of the fire not far away.

"Let's go, swim over there!" Wang Ke said softly.

However, when he was about to set off, Wang Ke found that Fan Cheng didn't know how to water. So, two reconnaissance battalion soldiers had to carry him to the shore.

Gently paddle the water to minimize the sound of the water. It took them three quarters of an hour to swim across the water, which was nearly five feet wide, and reached the shore street.
