Chapter Seventy-One: The Darkness of the Night
Time passed minute by minute, countless clues, countless questions, so that Wang Qi's brain was almost exploded, too many could not be understood, the first one was the iron box car, he couldn't figure it out anyway, the strongest defensive weapon of the forbidden army would appear here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Could it be that there is still a force supporting Zhao Xin, or the local forces in Hebei, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to find Danmu and successfully counterattack him with the help of the iron box car.
But then, Wang Qi got rid of this idea, the big forces in Hebei can basically be counted, all of them have an in-law relationship with the Wang family, and the in-law relationship is not omnipotent, but they also have nothing to do with the royal family, because Wang De uses the signboard, only Wang De uses the horse's head.
Besides, under the premise that they are heavily besieged and mobilize a lot of strength, if they want to send more than 10 chariots to the battlefield, this is not something that can be achieved by strength, this is a miracle, a means of immortals and Buddhas.
Wang Qi's mind was opened, and he really guessed correctly, Zhao Xin's manifestation, to this extent, is not much different from the immortal Buddha's means, the most important thing is that Wang Qi doesn't know that Sun Ji is among them, which is another reason why he made a mistake.
Danmu also found out when he arrived on the canal and launched an attack, he was ordered by the Wang family, but he was not subordinate to the Wang family, which is why he was brought to carry out this mission.
Danmu is not a descendant of the Wang family, he even has no other way to contact Wang Qi except for fast horse contact, carrier pigeons, Wang Qi will not equip Danmu, this is almost the core value of the Wang family in Hebei, and it is this that made him miss the opportunity to obtain Sun Ji's information, and he also suffered heavy losses in the future.
Danmu is a foreign race, that is, after the failure to participate in the selection of treatment equipment, by chance, he entered the command of the Wang family, and the Wang family is just a ladder for him to climb up, including this mission I, the Wang family has to pay a certain price in exchange for him to support the Wang family and carry out the assassination on the canal.
The Wang family also thinks the same way, Danmu is an unruly foreigner, not enough to believe, give him some benefits, at a critical moment, or when it is inconvenient for the Wang family to go out, it is good to send him out, this is also the reason for sending Danmu, a few people know that Danmu belongs to the Wang family, the Wang family did not publicize it on the surface, those relationships are easy to get rid of, even if it fails, there will be no big problem.
The only omission is the falling moon bow, if Danmu misses, the falling moon bow is the only doubt, the Wang family is also very cautious, it was this time of action, it was given to Danmu, in order to increase the probability of success, there was really an unexpected situation, a weapon, can not represent the Wang family to participate in it, any loss can solve the problem. As long as the evidence does not directly point to the Wang family, there is room for maneuver, and at most a small loss will not affect Wang Jia's overall situation.
This time the task is extremely important, but also very risky, not only sent Danmu, but also deployed a huge force on the periphery, they do a very simple job, no matter success or failure, kill Danmu and all the people involved in the operation, only in this way, is there no proof of death, to prevent the final fire from burning to the Wang family.
Anything that has to do with the succession is a big deal, and the Wang family personally took action, because they saw the opportunity to seek an effective bargaining chip for their future, but they would not put the entire Wang family as a bargaining chip and put it in danger for such a bargaining chip.
Before the canal attack, Zhao Xin was missed in Nanle, Wang Qi didn't care, they were all on the canal, they knew the place of departure, the destination they knew, and they knew the means of transportation, and it was impossible to fly out with wings, as long as they looked carefully, they would definitely be able to find it.
In fact, a few days later, there was good news that Danmu found the boat, and did not shoot immediately, but waited for the Black Duck Water Bandits, which was the right choice, in Wang Qi's opinion, it was just a boat, at most 50 people, even if all of them were elites of the hundred battles, there was no problem.
They have already investigated, I don't know the origin, at most 20 people, 20 people, all elite soldiers, under the siege of 500 people, under the surprise, should also be able to take it, but on the contrary, the result they imagined did not appear, it was Zhao Xin who got out of the siege.
Too many possibilities, but also one by one by him overthrown, now the question is entangled in a question, whether to end here, or continue, in the periphery of the force, very strong, the Wang family in Hebei has a deep foundation, starting from his great-grandfather Wang Chao, rooted in Hebei, especially the military, almost more intertwined, through various orders, mobilized 12 battalions including 6,000 people, large and small officers, most of them are the generals of the Wang family, and the rest are closely related generals.
The ability of individual soldiers may not be comparable to Danmu, Danmu's archery skills are also the top in the entire Northern Song Dynasty army, and few can compare to him, these are also the elites of a hundred battles, and in terms of number, they are 12 times that of Danmu's men.
Wang Qi knew that as long as he gave an order, 6,000 people would be surrounded, even if the people on the boat defeated Danmu with real strength, and the frontal torture and killing were successful, they couldn't stop it, in fact, it was really true that they formed an elite military formation, not one or two masters could resist, and the treatment equipment and the golden gun were not good, even if the golden gun class came to four or five, under the absolute disadvantage, they would have only one end.
In this way, the Wang family is completely exposed, this is not to deal with Renzong, it is to deal with Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin is dead, it's not over, Renzong is still alive, before that person succeeds to the throne, the Wang family will suffer from the emperor's huge pressure, what evidence is left, giving the emperor a reason to start, the Wang family is really doomed.
It's a pity to give up like this, this task is related to Wang Qi's order in the Wang family, how much support he can get, and it has a close relationship with this task, he really retreats now, he is such a promising young talent, but he has really become an outcast.
After hesitating again and again, the arduous decision, in the end, Wang Qi issued an order, not to use the army, or to choose the elite, close to 50 elites of the Wang family, were ordered to concentrate, fast horses are responsible for intercepting Zhao Xin and others, these people are low-level military attaches in the army, they are in combat effectiveness, compared to Danmu's Duqiang cavalry, it is absolutely overwhelming, there is a mental calculation or unintentional, can achieve results, 10,000 steps back, it is possible to fail, no problem, they are loyal, will not cause the worst results.
Sneak attack on the prince, or the only prince of Renzong, is to lose his head, destroy the family, let 6,000 people go out together, that is absolutely impossible to hide, the Wang family is not strong enough, more than 6,000 people, 12 battalions of the army, are completely controlled in the hands of the degree, at most through various methods, influence some officers, and then control the army.
Among the 12 battalions, 6 were withdrawn, and the rest worked with the secret forces of the Wang family to clean up the battlefield, which was a more important matter than pursuing Zhao Xin.
The battlefield must be cleaned up, on the canal, in the early morning someone has already gone to clean up, has been cleaned up, has been burned into a skeleton of the ship, part of it sank to the bottom of the canal, part of it was taken away, to ensure that it will not show tracks, the others are also treated in the same way, in the daytime, when a ship passes here, you will see that this is a calm sea, and no trace can be seen.
Others, such as bows and arrows, weapons, and corpses, will also be dealt with during the day, and after 3 days, even the trees affected by the war will be cut down one by one.
Wang Qi issued a series of orders in an orderly manner, at least more than 30 carrier pigeons, flying in the sky, less than half an hour, the sky has not yet dawned, the morning star rises high, with the Canal Mountain sneak attack position as the center, the 12 battalions of troops began to move in different directions, all this is hidden in the dark, and finally, after dawn, completely disappeared from the field of vision of ordinary people, only some people with a heart, or a certain level of family, only understand what happened at night, Some of them quietly wrote down these things, and some simply didn't see them, the night blocked countless conspiracies, but the sun still shone on the earth.
