Volume 9 National Turmoil Chapter 349 The Situation is Blurred (II)

Peng County (today's Xuzhou area), Cui Qinggong's general Ma Dawei was stationed here, the news of Cui Qinggong's defeat did not reach here until three days later, for a while, Ma Dawei's soldiers were panicked, some advocated to join the Cui family, some advocated going south to attach themselves to Huainan, and some advocated self-establishment as kings, but there were few people who wanted to continue to be loyal to Cui Qinggong.

On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Ma Dawei received a report that Cui Qinggong had retreated to Xiao County, 200 miles away, with 30,000 remnants of his army.

Ma Dawei immediately ordered someone to invite his uncle's book to discuss, his uncle's book is naturally Ma Siwei who has just returned from Chang'an, although some people advised him that the two horses are in the same groove, there must be civil strife, but Ma Dawei ignored this set, and still married Ma Siyi's young and beautiful sister as a continuation, and after a while, Ma Siwei was brought in by his own soldiers.

Ma Si Su returned from Chang'an the day before yesterday, and just got the news that his parents were claimed back by Ma Dawei from Cui Qinggong, and after Ruyang was occupied by Pei Jun's Hedong Army, Zhang Huan had sent someone to take advantage of the chaos to rescue his wife and children, his parents, wife and children were safe, and the future was guaranteed.

When he entered the tent, he bowed to Ma Da Weishi and said with a smile: "The general is looking for suspicion, but it is for Cui Qinggong's matter?" ”

Seeing that he had guessed his thoughts, Ma Dawei waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Ma Siyi sat down and said: "No matter what choice the general makes, it must be decided, I think Cui Qinggong's remnants should also arrive!" ”

"He's already in Xiao County." Ma Dawei sighed, he saw that there were cronies left and right, so he said in a low voice: "I want to take the opportunity to eat Cui Qinggong, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Ma Sisu was also thoughtful about this matter, and he pondered for a while and said, "I want to ask, how many people are still in Cui Qinggong's hands?" ”

"I heard that there are nearly 30,000 more. And they are all directly subordinate guards that he brought out from Shandong, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong. ”

"Herein lies the problem." Ma Siwei gently stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Cui Qinggong has an old gap with the general, how can he not be guarded, if the general wants to eat him, a vicious battle is inevitable, but the fisherman is beside him, the general might as well think about it, who will eat the bottom in the end?" ”

"Does doubt mean that I should go north or south to find a way out?" ”

"No!" Ma Sisu still shook his head and said, "The big husband is in the world." When you seek to be self-reliant, why bother to look at people's faces? ”

"This is what I want, so what should I do in my opinion?"

Ma Si smiled suspiciously, he wanted to make Cui Qinggong pay for his ruthlessness, "The general still takes refuge in Cui Qinggong, but he is him." The general is still a general, if Cui Qinggong succeeds in counterattacking, the general can take advantage of the situation to strengthen himself. If Cui Qinggong is defeated again, then the general can take the opportunity to kill Cui Qinggong and ask the people of the world for credit! ”

Xiao County, Cui Qinggong fled all the way to here, after nearly three days of rest, he has gradually stabilized, although he lost more than 100,000 troops, but fortunately things have not reached the worst. After all, Ma Dawei was born as a civilian official, and he did not fall into the trap at the most critical time, and remained loyal to him. Cui Qinggong was so moved that he sent someone to give Ma Dawei a robe, turning the subordinate relationship between them into a brotherhood.

At this moment, with the remnants of the army and Ma Dawei's department, Cui Qinggong still has more than 70,000 people, controlling the three counties of Peng, Linhuai and Donghai, and preserving a little bit of strength.

Just as Cui Qinggong was reorganizing his army and preparing for the final battle of the trapped beasts, Wei Deqing's 40,000 pursuing army unexpectedly stalled in Dangshan County. There was no continued catch-up.

Cui Qinggong immediately seized this fleeting opportunity. On the one hand, he quickly sent someone to the court to plead with Cui Xiaofu, and on the other hand, he sent the second secretary to Shandong to admit his mistake to the Cui family. Hoping to return to Shandong, at the same time he sent people to collect sea ships along the coast of Donghai County, if he could stop the army at this point, it would be best if he could stop the army, but he really couldn't stop the army, and he also had to prepare a way out for himself.

Just when Cui Qinggong was struggling to find a way out for himself, he didn't know that things were quietly happening inside Wei Deqingjun.

Chen stayed in the camp, Wei Qingtie blushed and looked at the mountains of loot piled up in the open space, armor, weapons, food, money, a team of prisoners of war walked in front of him with their heads down, it has been two days since the end of the battle, although Wei Deqing won a big victory, but Wei Qing did not have a sense of joy, he is the pacification envoy of Henan Province, but so far no local official has come to report to him, he is in charge of the Henan army,

And he is not only the supervisor of the imperial court, but also the supervisor of the Wei family, but Wei Deqing is yang and yin to him, saying that he will never disobey the orders of the head of the family, but when he turned around, he secretly ordered the army to attack Cui Qinggong at night, which clearly did not take him seriously.

Wei Qing worriedly walked back to the big tent, now the question is not only Wei Deqing attacked without authorization, but whether the Wei family can control him, he received urgent information from his father yesterday, saying that Wei Deqing's wife was actually killed on Chinese New Year's Eve, and ordered him to seize power within a few days anyway, otherwise once Wei Deqing knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seize power in a matter of days. Wei Qing's brows furrowed, how could this be possible? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Wei Deqing is willing to give up some of his military power, he is not in the camp now, and it is too late to come.

How good is that? Wei Qing's heart was so confused that he couldn't think of a way for a whole day.

At this time, a guard walked into the tent and reported: "Prison army, General Wang asks to see!" ”

Wei Qingdi's spirit suddenly perked up, and he thought of a plan to drive away the wolf.

General Wang, also known as the deputy general Wang Wujun, always looked at him coldly at first, but in the past few days, his attitude has suddenly changed a big turn, and he has become enthusiastic, and occasionally shows a little willingness to take refuge in him.

Wei Qing grabbed a piece of wood like a person who was about to drown, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and invite General Wang in." ”

After a while, Wang Wujun walked in with a smile, he was about forty years old, slender, heroic, with a long beard floating on his chest, people who saw him for the first time couldn't help but have a good impression of him, he is currently the main general of the big camp, guarding Chen for Wei Deqing.

"I heard that the prison army didn't take a single step out of the big tent for a day, and the last general couldn't rest assured and came to visit."

"General Wang, please take a seat!"

Wei Qing warmly invited Wang Wujun to take a seat, poured him a cup of tea himself, and sat down himself, Wei Qing saw the look of concern in Wang Wujun's eyes, so he sighed and said: "I am very upset in my heart, so I don't want to pay the bill." ”

"After Wei Jianjun is a famous family, he became the pacification envoy of Henan at a young age, and his future is bright, and he is many times stronger than our military ruffian."

Wang Wujun persuaded him with a smile in his mouth, but his eyes stared coldly at the change in Wei Qing's expression, "Moreover, the general defeated Cui Qinggong in the first battle, which shows that Wei made the Bao Jian army have merit, and in a few days the military merits will be reported to the imperial court, not to mention the first merit, at least four points of merit, Wei Jianjun should laugh heartily, how can he be bored?" ”

Wei Qing lowered his head and was silent, Wang Wujun saw it in his eyes, so he secretly sneered, and said provocatively: "Could it be that the prison army is dissatisfied with General Wei?" ”

Wei Qing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You General Wei are wise and powerful, how dare I be dissatisfied with him, it's just that I received the secret decree from the Queen Mother, and I don't know what to do." ”

"The prison army might as well talk about it, maybe I can solve the prison army's worries?" Wang Wujun's eyes slowly narrowed, and his temptation deepened step by step.

"You?" Wei Qing also felt that the other party was testing himself, so he smiled implicitly: "You are General Wei's henchman, how can you do something sorry for the General?" ”

At this time, Wang Wujun suddenly knelt down, he stared at Wei Qing's eyes and said solemnly: "I once said to the prison army, I, Wang Wujun, am only loyal to the imperial court, and is definitely not anyone's henchman, if the prison army does not believe it, I am willing to swear to the sky." ”

Wei Qing only looked at him coldly, without saying a word, Wang Wujun saw that he didn't believe him, so he pulled out a dagger from his boots, and slowly slashed on his arm, and suddenly blood gushed out, he said in a deep voice: "I, Wang Wujun, am by no means Wei Deqing's henchman, I am willing to be loyal to the imperial court and the prison army. ”

Wei Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he had taken a solemn oath, so he hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "General Wang doesn't have to make such a heavy oath, I believe you are." ”

The two sat down again, and Wei Qing said to him solemnly: "The imperial court found that Wei Deqing has a heart of self-reliance, so the queen mother ordered me to come to supervise the army, according to the deployment of the imperial court, when the Hedong army surrounded Cui Qinggong, but Wei Deqing sent troops without authorization, which made the queen mother deeply worried, she hoped that I could find a new king of Chen Liujun for her, I don't know if General Wang has this intention?" ”

Wang Wujun stood up and saluted Wei Qingshen, "My subordinates are willing to obey the orders of the prison army and share the worries of the court!" ”

Wei Qing nodded, "Okay, how many troops do you have in your hands that you can control?" ”

"There are 20,000 people under my command, and they are loyal to me."
