Chapter 40: The Attack (I)
In Yang Wu's view, the Huainan Jiedu Embassy is like the palace of Huainan, a complete "kingdom", not only has guards responsible for patrolling, but also a large number of soldiers are stationed near the Jiedu Embassy, and the guards cannot be said to be imstrict. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info plus there are many houses in the back house, and no one leads the way, even if the assassin enters, he can't find his yard at all, let alone find himself.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Wei Chixi didn't have someone to show him the way, but followed him directly behind him to his yard.
He felt the need to do something, at least the commanders of the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the Jiedu Embassy must be punished.
At this time, the sky outside had begun to lighten, and the news of the assassination incident in Yang Wu's courtyard last night had already spread, and it didn't take long for Shi's, Yang Jing and other relatives to come to visit, and they were relieved to see that Yang Wu was indeed fine, that is, Mrs. Zhu also sent her cronies to visit.
Yang Wu was fine, but he was afraid that the Shi family would be frightened, so he deliberately made the matter smaller, only saying that it was a thief who came in to steal, and He Yiyi saw it, and as a result, he stabbed He Yiyi, and as for himself, he was not injured at all.
Under his kind words, many relatives went back to their respective yards to rest. After everyone left, his face became gloomy, "Fan Yu, what do you think of what happened last night?" ”
Fan Yu only thought that he was asking for the guilt, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for the guilt, "Childe almost encountered an accident last night, this is all the fault of his subordinates, please punish Childe!" ”
Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "Get up, I don't blame you for what happened last night, I asked you to rest." But in the future, you also have to remember that you have to arrange someone to be responsible for safety at all times. ”
Fan Yu said with a look of shame, "Yes, Childe." The subordinates all remembered. ”
He was indeed a little negligent, the last time he was in the Renjiazhuang barracks, when the rebellion broke out, their guards were not by Yang Wu's side; Last night's incident was even more dangerous, if there was a slight accident, Yang Wu would die on the spot, and he himself would not be able to escape death at that time.
Yang Wu said again, "By the way, the number of guards should also be increased, from twelve in the past, to double in the future." As for the selection of people, I will leave it to you, I think you can handle it, okay? ”
"My subordinates will definitely handle this well."
"Well, I heard that my father led the army to the expedition yesterday, who are the generals who are in charge of staying in Guangling now?"
"Prince Qiyu, I heard that it is General Li Chengsi, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, who is in charge."
"It's him." Yang Wu remembered that in history, Yang Xingmi's expedition was to arrange for him to act as the agent of Huainan's affairs, and it is still the same as in history. However, he doesn't have much friendship with Li Chenghe, and he doesn't know if it's good to talk.
"Who was the general of the tooth soldiers who was in charge of guarding the Jiedu Embassy last night?" Yang Wu continued to ask.
"It's Zhang Hao, the commander of the left tooth." Fan Yu hugged his fists. Before, when Yang Wu was resting, he inquired about all the news clearly, but now that Yang Wu asked, he answered without thinking too much.
Yang Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly pondered, "Zhang Hao? Isn't this the person who later staged a mutiny with Xu Wen? If it's him, can you make some fuss and take the opportunity to attack him? ”
He remembered that Zhang Hao was once a general of Qin Zongquan, the assassin of Caizhou, and later after Sun Ru killed Qin Zongquan's younger brother Qin Zongheng, Zhang Hao took refuge in Sun Ru; After Yang Xingmi defeated Sun Ru, this person took refuge in Yang Xingmi, and was sent by Yang Xingmi to defend Luzhou because of his bravery. Luzhou is Yang Xingmi's hometown and the place where he raised his army, but Cai Li, the assassin of Luzhou at that time, later betrayed Yang Xingmi and took refuge in Zhu Quanzhong, and Zhang Hao surrendered with Cai Li; Later, Yang Xingmi led the army to attack Luzhou and surrounded Luzhou, Zhang Hao saw that the situation was not good, and actually went out of the city again to surrender Yang Xingmi, and was trusted by Yang Xingmi, and was appointed as the commander of Zuoya, responsible for leading the pro-army.
is such a villain who can be called a "slave with five surnames", Yang Wu never understood why Yang Xingmi trusted him so much, and even many people persuaded him that Zhang Hao was a repeated villain, but Yang Xingmi never listened.
In history, he once commanded Yang Xingmi's pro-army with Xu Wen, after launching a mutiny to kill Yang Wu, this person and Xu Wen held great power, and Xu Wen's power and prestige were not as good as Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao was domineering and could not be convinced by the generals, he once wanted to abolish Yang's self-reliance, but was stopped by Xu Wen's staff Yan Keqiu, and began to suspect Xu Wen. So Xu Wen secretly plotted, suddenly killed Zhang Hao, and put the charge of killing Yang Wu on Zhang Hao's body. Since then, Xu Wen has been in charge alone.
For such a repeated person, Yang Wu didn't understand why his father had to keep him and hand over his own army to him to command, was it because of this person's bravery?
But now that there has been an assassination incident, and Yang Xingmi is not in Guangling, can he take the opportunity to make trouble?
Thinking of this, Yang Wu became interested, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Since Commander Zhang was in charge of guarding last night, where was he when the assassin came in?" ”
Fan Yu replied, "I heard that he got drunk last night and slept in his house for the night. ”
Yang Wu became even more interested, "I was drunk and slept all night, which means that he was derelict last night?" ”
Fan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, it's true. However, Gongzi, when he was usually responsible for guarding the Jiedu Embassy, generals of Zhang Hao's level were generally at home, and the specific matters were all in charge of their heads, battalion commanders and others. ”
The commander of the pro-army was not only Zhang Hao, but also others. Everyone took turns to guard the Jiedu Embassy, and it happened to be Zhang Hao's turn last night.
Yang Wu waved his hand and asked him not to speak, and he secretly pondered. "If the military order is strictly followed, Zhang Hao will be responsible last night; However, this is the usual practice, and the other commanders stay at home like him when they are in charge of guarding the Jiedu Embassy. So this matter can be big or small, Yang Xingmi is not in Guangling at this time, if the many generals who stayed in Guangling feel that Zhang Hao should be questioned, then he is guilty; In turn, he is innocent. ”
Thinking of this, Yang Wu hurriedly asked again, "Fan Yu, you usually have a lot of news, do you know how Zhang Hao has a relationship with other generals, especially General Li Chengsi?" ”
Fan Yu was a little puzzled, looking at it like this, it seemed that Yang Wu was ready to ask Zhang Hao for his crimes, but he didn't intend to dissuade him, strictly speaking, he was responsible for what happened last night, where did he dare to stand up for Zhang Hao.
"Childe, my subordinates heard that Commander Zhang's reputation in the Huainan Army was not good, and many generals looked down on him, thinking that he was a repeated villain." When he said the last sentence, Fan Yu hesitated, after all, Zhang Hao's position was higher than him, and he was still a person Yang Xingmi trusted.
"As for the relationship with General Li Chengsi, his subordinates are not clear."
Yang Wu nodded, it was enough for Fan Yu to know this, and he could guess a little bit about the relationship between Li Chengsi and Zhang Hao. Li Chengsi was a foreign general, Zhu Jin was still the envoy of Yanzhou Jiedu, and it was difficult to resist when he was besieged by Zhu Quanzhong, so he asked Zhu Quanzhong's old enemy Li Keyong for help, so Li Keyong sent the generals Li Chengsi and Shi Yan to lead the Shatuo cavalry to the rescue; Later, when Zhu Jin, Li Chengsi, Shi Yan and others led an army to go on an expedition, his son and his subordinates betrayed them and surrendered to Zhu Quanzhong; In this way, the three of them had no way to retreat, so they had to go south to seek refuge in Yang Xingmi.
As a foreign general, Li Chengsi has no foundation in Huainan, and he himself knows this, so he never forms a gang, but is loyal to Yang Xingmi; And Yang Xingmi was also very polite to him, and let him be in charge of the affairs of the acting Jiedu Embassy on this expedition.
"So if I attack Zhang Hao, as long as the other generals support me, Li Chengsi will definitely not object. Although this matter will not cost Zhang Hao's life, if it succeeds, it will be enough for him to drink a pot; If he could take the opportunity to drive him out of the pro-army system and become a commander in the general army, then he would be much less threatening. ”
Thinking of this, Yang Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he immediately said to Fan Yu, "You go and report this matter to General Li Chengsi now, and ask him to convene the generals who stayed in Guangling to discuss this matter." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go." Fan Yu replied with a fist, turned around and went out.
