Chapter Ninety-Five: The Beginning and End of Shandong (3)
In fact, from the institutional point of view, it is legal for Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, to lead the troops to go out, because the guards equipped by the imperial court for the prince are to protect their safety, and they also have the heavy responsibility of suppressing the place.
However, there is still a gap between the ideal and the reality, if this kind of thing is placed in the Hongwu period, the King of Qi Zhu Yu will only scold Zhu Yuanzhang at most, but it is a pity that it is now the Jianwen Dynasty, with the experience of King Yan, the emperor can be said to hate the prince to lead the troops. Although there is no explicit prohibition for the prince to lead the guards, most of the princes are knowledgeable and will not do things that the emperor is not happy with. King Qi didn't dare to do it, but this time the situation was special, years of depression, the return of beauties and the threat of a green hat, made him desperate and vowed to live like a man.
Seeing the sun gradually falling in the west, Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, became more and more anxious, he waved his hand and called Chai Zhi: "Pass the order of the king, the cavalry will follow the king first, before sunset, you must rush to the stone unloading shed!" ”
"Yes! Rajah! ”
Chai Zhi immediately passed the order, and then rode a horse to follow Zhu Rong's side, galloping wildly, followed by more than a thousand cavalry, and then sparsely lala's guard infantry.
The prince's guards are similar to the emperor's army, they are all soldiers who do not need to be cultivated, which is very different from the ordinary guard army, so Zhu Rong's guards are fully manned, with more than 5,000 people, and even about 1,500 cavalry.
After Zhu Yu went out of the city for more than an hour, the three guards near Qingzhou were also mobilized, but unfortunately the number was too small, most of the soldiers had been conscripted to North Korea, and the remaining elite were not much, and most of them lacked training, which was also a reason why Qingzhou Wenwu had no way to unload the stone shed, in their opinion, when the Korean army came back, it was easy to crush the stone shed, as for the guards of the King of Qi, they never thought of mobilizing, of course, they did not have this authority.
Gao Feng, the commander of Qingzhou Wei, looked at the first batch of recruited soldiers and frowned, because most of these soldiers were not fully armored, and they had no fighting spirit. In fact, it is easy to understand when you think about it, if it is freezing today, the New Year is approaching, everyone is preparing for a hot kang head for their wives and children, and have a comfortable festival, who would want to go out and fight with the bandits?
But even so, Gao Feng can only go out on the expedition, because once the King of Qi has an accident, then no one in the civil and military forces near Qingzhou can run away from you, and they all have to raid their homes and destroy them. Once something happens to the vassal king, the emperor will show his trust in the vassal king and create a harmonious situation of the unity of the heavenly family.
Thinking of this, Gao Feng shuddered, and immediately ordered to go out of the city, and saw him flying on his horse, leading with three hundred cavalry, followed by more than a thousand soldiers, which was already the largest force that Qingzhou could recruit in a short period of time.
……
"Lord, the stone unloading shed is composed of several interconnected hills, the cottage is set up by risk, surrounded by dangerous cliffs, looking up from the bottom of the cliff, looking up at the top; Looking down from the top of the wall, it is condescending, and the situation under the mountain can be seen at a glance. There are only two small paths in and out of the cottage, which are extremely dangerous. The scale of the top of the village is very large, divided into four small villages in the east, west, south and north, there is a commanding height of nature in each small village, the four commanding heights echo each other from afar, and the south village is the highest, rising from the ground, it should be the place where the leader of the thieves lives. ”
"But," Chai Zhi paused, looked up at the sky, and said, "Lord Wang, in half an hour, it will be dark, and at that time, I am afraid that I can only give up attacking the mountain." ”
By this time, Zhu Rong had already calmed down, he glanced at Chai Zhi appreciatively, and said with a smile: "General Chai, it seems that you have done a lot of homework, and you have a thorough understanding of the situation of the stone unloading shed, by the way, do you know the situation of the leader of the thieves on the mountain?" ”
"This," Chai Zhi hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, the last general is not very sure, I only heard that there are bandits from the White Lotus Sect on the mountain, and it is said that the leader is a man and a woman. ”
"I know a little bit about this little one," Yan Dongyang interjected: "Lord Wang, I heard that the thieves on the mountain fled here, it seems that the people from Cangzhou had a conflict with the nearby villagers, killed people, and simply went up the mountain to become a thief." ”
"Then what do you say?" Zhu Yu pondered for a long time and did not make a decision.
Chai Zhi was a little embarrassed, he looked at the mountain peak not far away, and hesitated: "The strong attack will definitely have a lot of casualties, but there is no better way, the last general suggests a strong attack, so that they can maintain the pressure on the thieves, they will not dare to hurt Miss An!" ”
"This won't work," Yan Dongyang shook his head, stroked his beard with his hand, and said: "The thieves may not know that we are here for Miss An, so for the sake of safety, the little suggestion is to send a messenger and ask the head of the thieves to hand over Miss An, otherwise the army will attack the mountain and break the cottage, and they will all die without a place to bury." ”
"Emissary?" Zhu Yu and Chai Zhi glanced at each other, but their eyes turned to Yan Dongyang.
Seeing the eyes of the two, Yan Dongyang smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, since it is the idea of the small one, then this messenger will naturally be the little one, please rest assured that the little one will definitely save Miss An." ”
Seeing Yan Dongyang behaving like this, Zhu Yu was still a little embarrassed, stood up and walked in front of Yan Dongyang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dongyang, then please take a trip, but you have to pay more attention to safety, whether you can save it or not, you have to come back alive." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Yan Dongyang's eyes were filled with tears, he didn't expect that in this situation, Zhu Yu could still consider his safety.
"Lord Wang, the villain has put life and death aside when he goes, and I just hope to take Miss An back safely. It's just that the little one thinks it should be prepared with both hands. ”
"Ready?"
"A small road to the mountain will leave a secret mark, the prince can be safe to wait for a long distance to follow the path, if a quarter of an hour later, there is no small news, the prince's army can follow the secret mark to raid, in one fell swoop to conquer the cottage."
"Yes." Zhu Yan glanced back at Chai Zhi, and saw Chai Zhi nodding slightly, and also nodded yes.
"Well, the villain is gone!"
……
After the arrangement stopped, Zhu Yu sat on the handsome chair and pondered, what came to his mind was the snow-white carcass, the soft waist and the blood-pumping gasping sound......
After a long time, Zhu Rong clenched his fists tightly, summoned Chai Zhi, and whispered a few words, after Chai Zhi listened, he looked at Zhu Rong in amazement, but quickly agreed to come down and went out to arrange.
……
Because there was no cavalry to attack the mountain, and Zhu Rong's status was noble, so under the persuasion of everyone, Zhu Rong led the cavalry to wait outside the mountain, and the remaining more than 4,000 people, under the leadership of Chai Zhi, quietly entered the mountain according to the imprint of the scout and Yan Dongyang, intending to raid the cottage.
……
Qingzhou city head.
"Who is down there? Get your name in! ”
"We are the guards of the King of Qi, and we have just leveled the stone shed, but the King of Qi is injured, so we must come back quickly to recuperate!"
"King Qi?"
The second child of the defender Xiaoqi Wang frowned, he stretched out his head to look at it for a while, and found that there were not many people, but more than two hundred people, most of them were wearing the guard clothes of the Qi Palace, there were five big cars in the crowd, and the style was a big car commonly used by businessmen, which seemed to be similar to the car when Miss An's father went out of the city during the day, and more importantly, in front of the crowd stood ---- Yan Dongyang, the most trusted master of the King of Qi, and he was scolding: "You bastards, why don't you open the city gate quickly?" Delayed the injury of the King of Qi, do you eat the sin? ”
"What should I do?" Wang Lao Er looked back at his subordinates and found that everyone was afraid to speak. Wang Lao Er was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to open the door, and finally decided to send someone to ask the prefect Ye Zhiyuan for his life.
After Ye Zhiyuan heard the news, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as King Qi was fine, other times it would be a pen and ink lawsuit, he believed that with the concerted efforts of the military and people in Qingzhou, it would not be a problem to hide from the imperial court. He personally went to the city to take a look, and he recognized the leader Yan Dongyang turned into ashes, bullying men and women in the city, buying and selling, he was a frequent visitor to the government, and the root of his teeth was itching, but there was no way, Yan Dongyang could be said to be known to everyone in the city, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
"Squeak! Squeak and squeak! ”
The gate of Qingzhou City opened, Yan Dongyang took the lead, and the guards behind rushed in......
