Chapter 18 Zhennan Prefecture (I)
……
The road from Yunnan to the capital through Nanzhou was by no means the fastest, but it was only for individuals or small groups, and not for the military. For a large number of troops, Nanzhou can be said to be the only way to go to the capital. The ancients had a saying: "The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." "Although there were roads in the west of Liangjing, the terrain was rugged, the soil was poor, and there were no large towns along the way, which made the allocation of materials on the march a big problem. Whether it is transportation or local materials, it is quite inconvenient, not to mention that it is impossible to carry any baggage in this hurry.
In this way, Nanzhou has become the only way for Gao Wenyuan's army to pass.
But Nanzhou rebelled, and this was an unexpected and serious state of affairs. This not only sounded another death knell for the fall of Liang Jing, but also cut off the support route of the Yunnan king's forces to Liang Jing, so that the Yunnan king's army was bound to fight the rebels in Nanzhou. At this time, the reinforcements belonged to the side that was forced to fight away, and there was no initiative at all. Nanzhou doesn't even need to fight Gao Wenyuan, only on the defensive, Gao Wenyuan will not be able to reach Liang Jing who belongs to Zhao in his life.
What's even more terrifying is that to do this, the Yan army did not spend a single soldier at all, it can be said that this is cannibalism within the Zhao army. No matter who wins or loses, the Yan army can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and take Liang Jingcheng. As for whether the next move to take Liang Jingcheng is to return to aid Congzhou or enter Nanzhou, Zhaodu has no power to return to the sky, and may only retreat to a corner of Yunnan, waiting for the final partition from Miao Yan.
Gao Wenyuan didn't want that to happen. Although he knew that his family must have left a back hand in the Yan Kingdom. After all, this is the consistent style of the family, but as a person, he doesn't want the country that raised him to be wiped out like this, not to mention that his grandfather Gao Jinxia is still fighting on the battlefield in Congzhou, so he gave up the words first. (Note: At this time, Gao Wenyuan did not know the news of the rout of the Congzhou defensive line)
The six-hundred-mile expedited battle report in his hand said that Qian Nanyan led his troops north to participate in the siege of Liangjing, and from this point of view, there may not be much main force in Nanzhou. But Gao Wenyuan didn't dare to believe all the war reports. Soldiers are also treacherous, and those who use soldiers are naturally always false and real. Liang Jingcheng may indeed know more about the besieging soldiers and horses, but Liang Jing's internal and external communications have long been cut off, and the battle report in his hand is from Hongzhou, and the credibility of Hongzhou's news will not be too high, after all, geographically, Hongzhou is in the position of a bystander.
"Speaking of which, the word 'rebellion' is a bit strange, but it's not 'surrendering to the enemy'?" Gao Wenyuan on the horse said in a deep voice.
Their hurried march has lasted for half a month, and the soldiers have long been exhausted, and they have all relied on the support of military law to prevent non-war attrition. But this will not last, and I am afraid that I will have to take a break in the next few days. Although Gao Wen's far-sighted mind is like a flying arrow, he always has to consider the situation of the army. If we don't rest, I'm afraid that this whole army will collapse at the touch of a button, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Gao Wenyuan had an adjutant by his side, who was a disciple of the king of Yunnan, named Wang Lian. However, it is said that his real name is not this, and he just changed it to avoid trouble. This Wang Lian vaguely heard Gao Wenyuan's groan, and hurriedly urged him to take a few steps forward, "The general's words, could it be that he has found something to take advantage of?" ”
When Gao Wenyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What is the opportunity, even if it is a rebellion, it is definitely Yan Fang who is obstructing it and inciting confrontation between the two sides or something, just think about it." ”
Wang Lian nodded, "But I heard that this Qian Nanyan is a well-known and good official, and there is no place where he has governed that is not full of praise for him, because of his outstanding political achievements, he has only gone from a small county official to the current state capital step by step, how could such an official do such a thing?" ”
"Oh?" Gao Wenyuan was a little surprised, "So, I'm not mistaken, so this matter can be said a little bit." ”
After a while, Wang Lian whispered to Gao Wenyuan: "General, do you think it could be that Yan Jun is using this name to deceive the people." ”
"It's possible, but it's not big, after all, it's completely unnecessary for Yan Jun. Disguising one's own army as the Zhao army is of no use at this juncture. On the side of the Congzhou defense line, Nanzhou also sent troops. In my opinion, the current situation is probably that there are traitors in the defenders of Nanzhou, and with the support of the Yan army, they rebel against the enemy in the name of the state capital. ”
"So, Lord Qian has been killed?"
"If I'm not bad, it's probably nine times out of ten. However, nothing can be conclusive, and although the military personnel need to be decisive, they must not speculate. ”
"The last general has been taught." As soon as Wang Lian's words fell, when he looked up, he found that Gao Wenyuan was looking at him with a very strange expression.
"Oh? Brother Wang didn't seem to be a man in the army before he defected to the king of Yunnan? ”
"Uh...... Why did General Gao say this? ”
"Ah, it's okay, just ask casually." With that, Gao Wenyuan turned his head away and stopped looking at him.
Wang Lian felt a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help adding, "The last general was indeed in the army, but at that time, he was just a nobody, and later defected to the command of the king of Yunnan, and was reused by the prince, so he became a soldier." ”
"General Wang doesn't have to be nervous, General Ben really doesn't have any other intentions." Saying this, Gao Wenyuan suddenly thought of his joining the army for thousands of miles without a fault. Before he could actually go into battle to kill the enemy, he left the frontier because of the special situation of the little guy. However, they did not go to Liu's house, but went to Liu Feiyue's private house, and were entertained with good wine and food.
The next day, Gao Wenyuan took the written secret letter and wanted to find a channel to send it to Gao's house. In this secret letter is a report on what happened in the past few days, and the entire cause and effect of Yulin's incident is written in it. The city where they are located has a dark line where Gao's family has been installed, and it is the shopkeeper of a pawnshop. Of course, it is much more convenient to send letters or something if there are natives, so he found this pawnshop.
After matching the code, the "dark line" led him into the inner hall. Then the "dark line" told him with a smile that the real shopkeeper of the pawnshop was imprisoned by the yamen a few days ago for making trouble in the casino, and he was the lover of the shopkeeper's wife, and the code was told by the shopkeeper to his wife, and then the proprietress told herself. After revealing his identity, he showed his fangs and wanted to knock this son of the Gao family a few "small money".
Gao Wenyuan, who came to join the army, naturally did not have those "little money" on him, but the fake shopkeeper has always refused to let go of the "big fish" of the Gao family. Maybe the young man was a little angry, or maybe he was holding his breath because he hadn't been able to really go to the battlefield in the frontier, in short, Gao Wenyuan, who was finally provoked, pulled out the saber on his waist and gave it to the fake shopkeeper.
This is Gao Wenyuan's first time killing someone, and the feeling is completely different from what he imagined before, and his whole body is in a more strange and strange state. But at that time, he didn't have time to reminisce, let alone the so-called "Yaxing" to describe this feeling. After a brief treatment, he climbed over the wall and returned to Liu Feiyue's private house and told Yulin what had happened. Liu Feiyu thought about the safety of his son and suggested that he return to Zhaoguo in case of an emergency.
In this way, Gao Wenyuan's first time joining the army came to an end. Looking back, Gao Wenyuan really didn't dare to say what impact this hasty and short time of joining the army had on him, if he had to say anything, it was probably the sense of emptiness and freedom between heaven and earth that he felt when he was a nobleman measuring the land with his feet. But it's really not much of a fortune.
"I still don't know the whereabouts of Yulin." Gao Wenyuan sighed on his horse.
……
At the same time, the Yamen, the capital of Nanzhou.
"Hey, old man, they told me to inform you that the army of the King of Yunnan seems to be about to arrive." After that, Liu Feiyu took out a sealed letter from his arms and threw it to Qian Nanyan. "Let's see for yourself, by the way, Yan said that the fake news you let out should have spread, so don't worry about it."
After dumping such words, Liu Feiyu left, he didn't plan to have anything to do with the old disrespectful thief.
Recently, Liu Feiyu has been very irritable, and a very important reason is his current position. From a certain point of view, it is no different from Qian Nanyan. Maybe that's why he hates Qian Nanyan for no reason like this.
In the few years of the Liu family, he did not live like a noble son. It is better to say that in less than a month, Liu Feiyu realized the fact that this was a scam. After half a year, Liu Feiyue has completely stopped hiding this. Yulin also gradually grasped the truth bit by bit.
The Liu family has a ninth son, it's true. The status is very high, and it's true, because it's a sister-in-law. was abducted when he was a child and had the same birthmark on his body, according to familiar people, it is also true. The only thing that is fake in this scam is Liu Feiyue's purpose.
Liu Feiyue and his eldest brother Liu Feiyong are in a relationship of wearing a pair of pants. In the Liu family, the two military and businessmen have a great right to speak, if nothing else, as soon as the head of the family passes away, the Liu family is the world of the two. At this time, how could Liu Feiyue allow a Liu Feiyu to be killed halfway.
Half a month after Liu Feiyue took Yulin to his private house, Liu Feiyong arrived. That day, the two brothers discussed the treatment of Liu Feiyu. Liu Feiyue felt that it was best to kill it, and it was a hundred, but Liu Feiyong had some scruples, after all, there were a lot of people in Liu Feiyue's family who knew about it at the moment, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain if he killed him in the future. In addition, Liu Feiyong happened to need a trustworthy subordinate. And Liu Feiyu, who "obviously" grew up in the countryside and knows the roots and has no background, just meets his requirements.
In this way, Liu Feiyu was left behind. During these years, he has undergone a series of trainings, both physically and mentally. Gradually, he gained trust and began to carry out a series of tasks. In the past few years, he did not dare to act against the will of Liu Feiyong's two brothers, after all, they would not feel sorry for a tool they had picked up.
But this life is about to come to an end.
