Chapter 499: Life and Death (3)
The so-called bandit spies caught by the secret sentry were none other than Mei Pengxin, the governor of Nanjiang County, who passed through Bazhou.
Mei Pengxin was originally a genuine Jiang Anzhi County, but because of the Luzhou Ma Examination Incident, he offended the Shu Wangfu, and was thrown to Nanjiang County, the thief's nest, by Liao Daheng, the governor of the Shu Wangfu, who had the intention of colluding with the Shu Wangfu, as a bargaining chip for political exchange.
Mei Pengxin, who was unwilling to die as a thief, once went to the province to fight, and also impeached Jingshi, but all of them were eggs hitting stones, leaving yellow soup and broken shells all over the ground. MEI PENGXIN WANTED TO DELAY HIS STAY IN CHENGDU AND NOT TAKE OFFICE, BUT THE FEUDAL DIVISION QUICKLY REPRIMANDED HIM AND ORDERED HIM TO TAKE UP HIS POST IMMEDIATELY, OTHERWISE HE WOULD BE IMPEACHED ON THE CHARGE OF "FEARING A THIEF LIKE A TIGER AND HOLDING BACK HIS HEAD" AND STRIPPED OF HIS OFFICIAL CLOTHES.
After ten years of cold windows, how much hardship I have suffered, how much tiredness I have suffered, and how much money I have spent, it is easy to get this official uniform. How can he give up?
In desperation, Mei Pengxin had no choice but to say goodbye to his wife and children, took his farewell, left Rong with his two servants, and began a difficult and terrifying journey to northern Sichuan.
It was the end of the year when we dragged our way to Boryeong Province.
Who knew that just after the Lantern Festival, a group of officers and troops suddenly rushed into the inn and looted it. It turned out to be Wang Chaoyang's mutiny stationed in Boryeong Mansion!
Mei Pengxin reported his identity, although he was spared the pain of flesh and skin, he was still searched and entangled and took the only old horse.
The outside world was in chaos, and the penniless Mei Pengxin had no choice but to hide in the inn and sell his clothes to satisfy his hunger and pay the rent. It was easy to wait for the Protector Army to recover Baoning Mansion, and he went to show his identity in a single shirt, but he was not reprimanded by Liao Fu for losing his official authority, but he was arrested and put in prison by Liao Fu for the crime of losing modesty.
Mei Pengxin and Qianlangzhong ordered Zhang Chang to be locked in a dim number, and one pass was more than a month. In addition to eating moldy rice and drinking rancid soup, from time to time I have to listen to the wails and dreams of my next-door neighbor, Zhang Jimeng, the former prefect of Boryeong, before he died.
Just when Mei Pengxin fell into a low point in his life, he ushered in a big savior.
Sichuan Inspector Liu Zhibo came to Baoning to review the dereliction of duty of the officials in Baoning. Liu Zhibo believes that although Mei Pengxin is an official, he has not yet arrived at his post and has no responsibility to defend the land and die, so he only admonished him in person, and reported to the prince, reissued the official certificate, living expenses, and travel expenses, and asked him to rush to Nanjiang as soon as possible to take office.
The north of Sichuan won the victory, and the road was peaceful. Mei Pengxin finally mustered up the courage to hit the road again. I had a lot of hardships all the way, and I suffered a lot, and I saw that it was not far from Bazhou City, but I was arrested by the Protector Army as a local thug.
But no wonder the soldiers who captured him:
For more than ten miles around Bazhou City, there are no people, not even ghosts. Three sneaky and miserable guys, it's strange that they don't have a story on them! Besides, if you claim to be the magistrate, it will be even more suspicious.
The dignified county master, there are no three BMWs, and there is always one donkey, right?
Throwing ham for thousands of miles, Boryeong hiked to Bazhou; Ge Yi was tattered and wore short fights, and used a piece of torn paper as an arrow.
Are you a bun that has never seen the world?
……
On the upper floor of Bazhou City, a group of warriors were watching the excitement.
"It turned out to be Mei Gong! Caught the wrong one! Your own family doesn't recognize your own family! Yang Mingshi apologized as he left his seat with a haha.
Yang Mingshi turned out to be the governor of the Judges. Mei Pengxin, the official who crossed the level to petition, was Yang Mingshi who was in charge of receiving it. Yang Mingshi couldn't pretend not to know, so he used ridicule to change the topic:
"Mei Gongtang's two rank of jinshi and court officials, how can they be dressed like this?"
In front of everyone's eyes, Mei Pengxin saw that he was dressed in a tattered kudzu robe, and he was already blushing. He hoped that he could find a decent reason to get over, but in a hurry, he couldn't speak. In the end, I had to sigh heavily:
"It's a long story!"
It turned out to be the guy in Jiang'an County! He Qiukou's heart was furious.
In the young master's letter, he mentioned the county order of Jiang'an County many times, and scolded him as "poor Confucian sour ding", "sitting in a well and watching the sky", and "everything in the world is ruined by the hands of such mediocre thieves and dumb officials"! But for some reason, the prince still uses him as an official.
This person has now gone to Nanjiang
, isn't it another party to blame? He Qiukou had the intention to detain him and let him go. can think of Wang Chaoyang, and think about the son of the world to him, "Soldiers, murder weapons!" I had to try hard to suppress the evil fire in my heart.
He Qiukou didn't expect that his partner Yang Mingshi would help him vent the evil fire in his heart in a blink of an eye.
"It's not a long time, it's just that I don't know the current affairs!" Yang Mingshi said coldly: "Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes." Therefore, Meng said: Confucius, the one who is holy is also! (Note 1) "This is using Meng Shuokong's words to scold Mei Pengxin for not knowing current affairs."
Swish! Mei Pengxin's face was so dry that his ears were red, but Yang Mingshi still didn't plan to let him go:
"Sage Yun: I am not born to know, so ancient, and I am also a keen one."
This is scolding Mei Pengxin for being arrogant and not modest enough.
"Yao Shun to the soup, the soup to the King of Wen, the King of Wen to Confucius, the emergence of the sage, five hundred years! Now there is a holy king out, Lord Mei sees it and knows it, if the body of the holy king is like this, but there is no Er, then there is no Huer? (Note 2)"
Mei Pengxin finally lowered his arrogant head, bowed and said:
The lower officer was taught.
Several generals looked at Yang Ming blankly, and a few sour words cleaned up Mei Pengxin. A common voice welled up in their chests:
The world of literati, we really don't understand!
At this time, Yang Tianbo, one of the generals group, suddenly shouted loudly. He raised his arms and shouted:
What Lord Yang said is really good.
The son of the world is a holy king who comes out once in 500 years! To oppose the Son of the World is to oppose the Saints!
The policy of protecting the country and securing the people is the best benevolent government in the past thousand years. To oppose the protection of the country and the people is to oppose the swords and guns of the national protection army!
What the son of the world said, one sentence is up to 10,000 sentences!
The giant hand of the son of the world guides us in the direction of progress!
……
Why is Yang Tianbo, a son of a Zhuang household, suddenly so cultured? Do you still fucking write poetry?
He Qiu Kouhu looked at Feng Rubao suspiciously, and Feng Lao Er pretended not to know, and glanced at Cheng Weiguo, the prickly head, with a bearded face.
Cheng Weiguo looked dazed, and it was clear that he was on a plane.
In the end, the three people finally noticed Yao Chengguo, who was not moving next to Yang Tianbo and smiling at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly realized: It turned out that this dog-headed little military advisor was making a mistake!
"Yao Erwa, play tricks in front of Lao Tzu! Looks like it's time to grind your baby's crotch again! He Qiukou smiled in his heart and thought about it.
As if his wish had come true, with a rush of footsteps, a young officer carried a wet vermilion lacquer bamboo tube and walked quickly into the city tower.
Under the bright lantern light, this person has fair skin, elegant manners, and a youthful childishness on his face. It can be seen that he has not only studied, but also the son of a rich and noble family.
"Zhu Gongzi, it's just an order, why do you need to send it in person?"
Yang Mingshi immediately put aside the embarrassed Mei Pengxin and stood up and bowed his hand to the young officer.
"Lord Yang, how can there be a rule that the Shangguan first gives a salute to the last general?" The young officer hurriedly stood up and saluted back, and shouted to all the officers present, "The intelligence officer of the Fifth Regiment, Zhu Zhixiang (HUN, Gutong "Hun"), has deciphered Commander Liu's order and is here to report!" ”
"Now that the report is over, there is no need to stand up for rules. Come on, Master Zhu, sit, sit! Feng Rubao didn't wait for the head of He Qiukou to speak, and enthusiastically gave up the chair beside him to Zhu Zhiyan, "Since the translation has been made, tell us about it!" ”
It turned out that this Zhu Gongzi was Zhu Zhiyan, one of the many grandsons of Shiquan Lao Wang.
Zhu Zhiyan is the same age as Zhu Pingqi, the youngest son of the King of Neijiang, and he is the best. The generation is an uncle and nephew, and the love is a friend. ZHU ZHIYAN IS ALSO FAMILIAR WITH THE SECOND CHILD OF THE FENG FAMILY, WHO WAS BORN IN THE LEFT GUARD.
Since Zhu Pingjian, the son of the fighting family, agreed to the children of the Shu clan to join the army in the Panlong Pond Pavilion, Shiquan Lao Wang immediately recommended his grandson Zhu Zhiyan, who was hidden in his entourage, to Zhu Pingjian.
Zhu Pingjin more
After interviewing Zhu Zhiyan in person, he arranged for Zhu Zhixiang to intern in the confidential room of the General Office and master password communication. At the end of the internship, Zhu Zhiyan was sent to this Bazhou City to manage the group-level cryptographic communication.
Cryptographic personnel generally do not need to enter and leave the battlefield and experience life and death, but they have extremely high requirements for the loyalty and confidentiality of personnel, and Zhu Zhiyan is exactly the kind of person that Zhu Pingjin needs.
With the titles of Yang Mingshi and Feng Rubao in front, He Qiukou had no choice but to swallow the "Zhu Platoon Leader" in his mouth and call "Zhu Gongzi". However, he aroused people, and still had a solemn face, so that others could not be kind.
"Zhu Gongzi, have you checked the communication bamboo tube? The news of the battlefield can determine the life and death of thousands of brothers, but you can't be careless! ”
"Captain, the last general has carefully examined it. The opening of the bamboo tube is drenched with hot wax in multiple layers of wax paper and sealed with silk cloth, and the seal on the wax is intact. Between the silk cloth and the wax paper, there is a dark seal of General Liu's blue cloth. The letter password is fully formatted, and the code filler specification ......"
"This prison army and the regiment commander are worried about your password!" Yang Mingshi interjected.
At this time, the smile on Yang Mingshi's face also disappeared and became serious:
"The local tyrants have been rampant in northern Sichuan for many years, and they are very well-informed! General He and General Cheng have been fighting in northern Sichuan for many years, and they must feel the deepest! ”
"The prison army is right!" Cheng Weiguo jumped up impatiently, "Damn, I don't know why, the news always leaks!" The deployment of the official army is clear! Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about the battle of Yuxi ......"
"Even if a message leaks, it won't be a password!" Zhu Zhiyan shook his head lightly and patted his chest, "The code book was handed over to the last general by Mr. Cheng himself, except for the confidential departments of the regiments and headquarters of the National Protector Army, it is impossible to have this password." Ben will carry it with him and never leave it. Even if you take off your clothes and take a shower, you have to keep it in front of you......"
"Since the password is made up by people, people can guess it......"
The questioning was denied by Zhu Zhiyan again.
The prince himself said to the last general that he had written the code with his own hands. The son of the world is a scholar of heaven and man, and no one in the world must be able to decipher it......"
Since Zhu Gongzi is so sure, and everyone here does not dare to doubt the knowledge of Zhu Pingjian, the prince, then there must be no problem with the password. Once the secret is leaked, the problem must be at the end of the news, that is, in the camp of Liu Zhen.
When Zhu Zhiyan handed over the translated text to Yang Mingshi, Yang Mingshi handed it over to He Qiukou after reading it. Seeing that all the personnel had finished circulating, He Qiukou announced that three days ago, Liu Ying's spies had confirmed Yuan Tao's whereabouts near the Baishan area. There are not many troops around the Yuan thief, and there are more than 10,000 remnants.
Liu Zhenfan's order was concise and to the point.
He asked the Bazhou garrison to go all out and fight with the 11th Regiment and the 18th Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Protector Army from Wuya Town to suppress Yuan Tao.
The specific deployment was as follows: The regimental headquarters of the 11th Regiment led the 43rd Battalion, the 41st Battalion and the 1st Cavalry Battalion to form an east road with a battalion in Bazhou, and would attack Baishan.
The regimental headquarters of the 5th Regiment led a battalion and the 18th battalion to form the west road and rendezvous at Mumen Town.
The time of the attack on the east road and the meeting time of the division on the west road were both on the 6th of April.
After the offensive began, the east road was fought to the west, and the west road was intercepted by virtue of the Enyang River Valley.
Liu Zhenfan also explained that he had asked Shizi to transfer the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Regiments to take over the defense of Enyang Town, so that the two battalions of Wang Xiang's department could fully reinforce the western road.
"There are two and a half battalions of General Liu's corps, three battalions of our fifth regiment, and two battalions of Wang Xiang, a total of seven and a half battalions, a full six thousand people, enough for Yuan Tao, a little ghost, to drink a pot!"
He Qiukou excitedly slapped his thigh and stood up: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”
Who knew that as soon as He Qiukou's words fell, Li Xiangchun, who was wrapped in bandages on half of his face, broke into the city gate tower in a rage.
"The regiment commander, the supervising army, the Bazhou garrison battalion is not a division of fish belly, blindly put it in the city to retire and wait for death, the general can't figure it out!"
