Chapter 382: Bribery
Next to the official road, there are some soldiers lying horizontally, but the war horse next to it is gnawing on the water and grass on the ground with their heads down, and in the distance, Li Jing is holding a map in his hand, Li Daniu and Yang Zhizheng are standing aside, although Yang Zaixing is relatively young, but he is very energetic, and his eyes are looking around, in case a stranger approaches. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoActually, there are already guards and sentries all around, and there are enemy men and horses approaching.
"We run through the entire Hebei, the next step is to enter the state from Jingcheng, directly into Taiyuan, there is nothing here in Hebei, although the Liao army has some spies, but there is still a period of time to pass it to Tian Hu, but it is different from the state, Jing Cheng is one of the fortresses of Taihang Mountain, very important, Tian Hu is a native of Bingzhou, and may not be buried in this place." Li Jing looked at the map in front of him and said with some concern.
The most feared thing about a thousand-mile march is a hopeless future, or a leak of news. Li Jing will not underestimate anyone, Tian Hu has been in the state for so long, nothing has happened, and the court is helpless against him, which means that this person still has a few brushes, thinking that such an important place as Jingcheng, if there is no secret agent, it is obviously unreasonable.
"That can only be a night march, but this requires the cooperation of Jing Chen's side!" Yang Zhi said with some concern.
"How many people are there now?" Li Jing looked at the numbers marked on the map and said, "Three thousand people? If you deduct the vacancy, it should be in the form of two thousand or two thousand five. I've asked Duchenne to go into the city and take a look to see what is going on with this well pass. Li Jing said casually.
"What does Childe mean?" Yang Zhi's eyes widened, he didn't expect Li Jing to come to this trick and want to take the pass that belongs to his family, which is a big deal.
"What do you say, just look at the general who defends the city? Let's see if we can find some Tian Hu ears and eyes. Li Jing shook his head, attacking Jing Cheng, Li Jing's courage is not yet to that extent, it is obviously inappropriate to attack Jing Cheng in this way, and this Jing Cheng will also be one of Li Jing's portals in the future, only by controlling Jing Cheng, he can make the state safe and sound, and the secret guards will go out, or bribe, or assassinate, he will hold the entire Jing Cheng in his hands.
Jing Cheng belongs to the junction of Hebei and Jin, the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, known as "the fifth of the eight Taihang Mountains, the sixth of the nine stops in the world" is known as the Hebei Thoroughfare, Li Jing had been to the Jingcheng Pass once in later generations, naturally knew the situation here, if you want to attack the Jing Pass, it is almost impossible, and it is impossible for 3,500 cavalry to do it.
Jing Cheng hooked up with Jin and Hebei, to Chong, although it was the Chengping period, but the Great Song Dynasty still struggled here with three thousand soldiers and horses, the general who defended the city was called Song Jian, was a strong man with a beard on his face, although Jing Cheng was located in the Chong, but in fact it was because in Taihang Shangzhong, although there was everything in the pass, although it was not as good as those big cities, there were simply more traders, once there were more traders, there were more other industries brought, plus Song Jian was the guard of Jing Chengguan, and he was almost a soil emperor here. Song Jian, who had no hope of promotion, simply claimed the king here, and had a very happy time.
In the dark night, Song Jian lay on the bed panting, next to him two Qinglou women one left and one right, both hands and small hands kept stroking this Song Jian's broad chest, although he was a general, but Song Jian didn't know how long he hadn't exercised, his skin was sagging, even if it was a big battle, he became very tired.
"General Song is much worse than my son-in-law. My son-in-law is often the third daughter of the night emperor, tsk, hearty, where is like General Song. A cold voice suddenly came to Song Jian's ears, and the sweat on the frightened Song Jian disappeared instantly, and his face showed a look of horror, and he sat up from the bed at once.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I came to see you on the orders of my general, and there is one main thing that I want you to cooperate with." As soon as the candlelight in the room was lit, Song Jian found a young man sitting on the table next to him, his face was cold and expressionless, but it made Song Jian breathe a sigh of relief, because there was only one person on the other side.
"Dare to ask the strong man how Song cooperates?" Song Jian said quietly. There was a hint of reserve on his face.
"Hmph, a little commander dares to pose in front of me." The young man took out a token from his arms, threw it over, and said, "I am Brother Qiao Yun, the captain of the scout battalion under the command of General Zhengbei, and I also have a business trip to see you." ā
"General of the expedition to the north?" Song Jian finally remembered the official document sent by the Privy Council not long ago, his face changed, he didn't want to think about it, he quickly got up, took a piece of clothing from the side, and covered his ugly figure.
"Dare to ask the general what he commands?" Song Jian showed cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said. He is the commander of a small box army, with 3,000 men and horses under his command, and he has eaten empty salaries, where can he compete with Li Jing, who has more than 100,000 troops.
"After five days, as soon as nightfall, a curfew was imposed, and all the soldiers dispersed anyone in the streets, and anyone who lingered was immediately killed. After the hour, all the soldiers withdrew into the camp, and the gates of the city were opened, and there was no transgression, and you could do it? Brother Qiao Yun said with a cold snort.
"Ahh Song Jian didn't expect Li Jing to send someone to send such an order.
"If you agree, you are still the master of this well, if you don't want to agree, it's nothing, my general can kill you for any reason." Brother Qiao Yun didn't know where to get a dagger and turned it in his hand, the cold light flickered, and Song Jian showed fear on his face, and he didn't know what to do.
"Yes, yes, the last will understand." Song Jian was frightened, he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and hurriedly responded.
"Don't worry, my favorite person in the Northern Army is the person who is useful to him, the general is thirsty for talent, you rely on today's merits, the general will definitely give you a great future in the future." Brother Qiao Yun said coldly: "Originally, according to the advice of our commander, I would kill you, but the general thinks that you can sit in the Jingcheng Pass, there is no merit and hard work, you can sit here for several years, and you are also loyal to the imperial court, and the general still admires you very much, so let me come and go, it is also your heart." With the token I gave you, you can go to the Li family's shop to get money. ā
"Ahh Song Jian's face was stunned, he didn't expect there to be such benefits, and he was surprised and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed on his neck, and he saw a strand of hair slowly falling, and when he looked at it again, the figure next to the table just now disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't help but touch the token in his hand, and then he believed that the scene he saw just now really existed.
"General?" At this time, a frightened voice came from behind him.
Song Jian turned his head to look, but saw that the two Qinglou women who had fought with him just now were looking at him with frightened eyes, he looked at the token in his hand, and suddenly, he pulled out the sword on the wall, thought about it, and slashed at the two women. The two women never thought that Song Jian, who was still tender and sweet just now, turned his face and didn't recognize anyone in the blink of an eye, and killed the two of them, and after the two screams, the two women suddenly fell on the bed, and the room was instantly filled with blood.
"Who woke you up?" Song Jian asked and felt a little regretful, the skills of the two women are very good, but it is a pity that some things cannot be known to more people.
