Section 13 The Forces Behind Cults
Liu Yunwei smiled and said to Zhang Yuxing: "Haha, the commander told the adults to be calm and not impatient, wait a minute." The commander has finished discussing the matters that the adults are concerned about, but we haven't talked about the affairs of the subordinates yet? Why did the commander leave first!"
Zhang Yuxing couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know what else Liu Qian has to do?" ”
Liu Yunwei smiled, stretched out two fingers and shook Zhang Yuxing's eyes, and said, "Two things!" First, Xia Guan thought that the reason why this Smelling Fragrance Sect was able to develop to such a point should be impossible to rely on its own strength alone. Therefore, the lower official would like to ask the commander if there is still a force behind the Wenxiang Sect that is secretly supporting; Second, the soldiers of my Hanwei battalion have lost their troops and lost their troops after several bloody battles, and nearly 1,000 soldiers have spilled their blood on the battlefield. ”
After Zhang Yuxing listened, his face changed several times, and finally said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Liu Qian is really thoughtful." Yes, it is true that someone has been secretly supporting the Wenxiang Sect, and that person's strength is not trivial, not only is the financial strength amazing, but also the force is also very strong, even I, the commander of the city guard, dare not provoke easily. ”
Liu Yunwei was also surprised when he heard this, and asked, "If you say this, then why didn't the people behind it come to meet when the Wenxiang Sect started an incident?" Now that the Smelling Fragrance Sect has been completely wiped out, why are the forces behind it still holding still? ”
Zhang Yuxing said with a wry smile: "That's the case, the person who has been secretly supporting the Wenxiang Sect is named Gu Xinghai, known as King Gu, and he is from Shanxian County, Yanzhou Prefecture. This person is the largest household in Shanxian County, and it can almost be said that he has reached the point of dominating Shanxian County, and even the magistrate of Shanxian County has to kneel and kowtow when he sees Gu Xinghai. ”
"How is this possible? How much power can a big family have? Can it be more powerful than the Gao family in Jinan? Liu Yunwei asked in disbelief.
Zhang Yuxing explained: "If it is a single round of strength, this Gu Xinghai is really much stronger than the Gao family in Jinan. After all, the Gao family has always been dedicated to the government, but they have a very wide range of contacts. Gu Xinghai is different, he is not only strong, but also has always been unruly towards the government; And this person is very scheming, while actively expanding his power, while eye-catching with civil officials and military generals in various places, so there have been people covering it up all these years. And this Smelling Fragrance Sect is, to put it bluntly, a hungry wolf raised by Gu Xinghai, which is specially used as a means to bring disaster to various places and weaken the government. ”
After Liu Yunwei heard this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, the Smelling Fragrance Sect that had been in various parts of Shandong for more than ten years turned out to be just a force cultivated by Gu Xinghai at will? Just a chess piece in Gu Xinghai's hand? This news is also too appalling! If this is true, how strong will Gu Xinghai's power be?
Seeing Liu Yunwei's stunned expression, Zhang Yuxing also said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu Qian, when I first learned all this, I was like you, and I didn't believe it. But later, after I knew the details of the valley Xinghai, I even had the heart to die, you must know that Shanxian is in the jurisdiction of my city guard! And the power in my hands is completely insufficient to compete with it. Now that the Smelling Fragrance Sect is finished, don't look at the Gu Xinghai without any movement for the time being, but once there is movement, it will be a big movement! That's why I hurried to Yuncheng County, I just want to be cheeky and share some combat exploits with Liu Qian, so I can move around in the DPRK and transfer myself elsewhere! ”
After Liu Yunwei listened, he stopped talking, sat quietly in the chair and began to calculate. Zhang Yuxing only said that Liu Yunwei was frightened by the power of the sea of stars, and he didn't know what to do for a while. So, Zhang Yuxing didn't pay attention to Liu Yunwei, who was meditating, but sighed on the side, lamenting that he was unlucky, and was assigned to Ren Chengwei, a Longtan tiger's den.
After a while, Liu Yunwei seemed to understand something, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiaguan wants to ask the commander to tell me more about the situation of Gu Xinghai, how powerful is he when he falls to the ground?" ”
Zhang Yuxing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "In the end, it's a young man, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" Do you dare to ask? So, Zhang Yuxing spoke in detail: "Since Mr. Liu Qian wants to inquire, then I will talk about Mr. Liu Qian." Nagu Xinghai has eight farms around Shanxian County, and there are a total of 3,000 serfs working for them in the eight farms, and the grain accumulated in a year is piled up, and even the military rations in the treasury of my city guard are less than one-tenth; In the north of Shanxian County, Gu Xinghai also has a blacksmith shop of a large scale, which has more than 200 blacksmiths, where do the irons within a radius of 100 miles of Shanxian County come from, and the annual silver falls into Gu Xinghai's bag like snowflakes, and Gu Xinghai even creates a lot of weapons and equipment by himself; As for the armed force, as far as I know: Gu Xinghai has 5,000 families and 2,000 riders, and on the edge of the Yellow River, thirty miles south of Shanxian County, Gu Xinghai also occupies the three ferries of Huangqikou, Lijikou, and Zhuwangkou, and Gu Xinghai is still stationed there with 1,000 river dings, and passing people, horses, and ships have to pay tolls to Gu Xinghai. Mr. Liu Qian, do you say that the power of this Gu Xinghai is big? ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuxing looked at Liu Yunwei, but unexpectedly, Liu Yunwei's face did not have any fear or shock, but was full of surprise, as if a hungry tiger had seen a delicious food.
Suddenly, an almost impossible thought popped up in Zhang Yuxing's heart: "This Liu Yunwei shouldn't be Gu Xinghai's idea, right?" ”
"Lord Commander, the subordinate has a plan, I don't know if the Lord is interested in participating, if it can be successful, the Lord of the Command will get a lot of rewards!"
"Sure enough!" Zhang Yuxing only felt his heart skip a beat, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu Qian, that Gu Xinghai can't be touched, if it can be wiped out, this commander would have already started, how could it be delayed until now?" That's a big worm! ”
Liu Yunwei had an expression of indifference, and said arrogantly: "Dare to ask the commander, what is the combat power of Gu Xinghai's men and horses, except for a lot of them?" Is it comparable to the Jianzhou Tartars? The soldiers of my Hanwei battalion are still able to fight and repel them in the face of tens of thousands of Jiannu main forces, not to mention that they are only a local heroic! ”
Zhang Yuxing was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and thought: "This Liu Yunwei is so big!" However, judging from the record of the Hanwei battalion in Liaodong, what Liu Yunwei said does not seem to be a big word. Zhang Yuxing thought for a while, with a hideous look on his face, as if he was making a life-and-death decision.
Zhang Yuxing thought for a while, then slammed the table and shouted, "Okay! Since Mr. Liu Qian is so heroic, then the commander will fight hard with Mr. Liu Qian! ”
Liu Yunwei was overjoyed when he heard this, with the assistance of Zhang Yuxing, he would definitely be able to deal with Nagu Xinghai! Who knows, before Liu Yunwei could speak, he heard Zhang Yuxing say: "This commander will return to Yanzhou Mansion today to mobilize troops, horses, money and food, Liu Qian can only rest assured and boldly go to do a good job, this commander will definitely support you!" ”
Liu Yunwei sneered and thought, "This Zhang Yuxing will come with me!" By the time you have deployed the troops and horses, I will already be separated from Gu Xinghai! But that's fine, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with Gu Xinghai with the combat power of the Hanwei battalion, and I can still dispose of the captured money and grain in time when the time comes, so I'll give some false names to Zhang Yuxing. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the subordinate will thank the commander!" However, the soldiers in the lower official camp are having a hard time. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yuxing left Yuncheng County to the sound of drums of the guard of honor and marched towards Yanzhou Mansion. Before leaving, Zhang Yuxing promised Liu Yunwei that he would raise grain, grass and military equipment for the Hanwei battalion.
Liu Yunwei took Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, Wang Dangdang, and Gao Hongguang to stand on the city wall, looking at Zhang Yuxing, who had already gone away, and bursts of scolding suddenly sounded on the city wall. Everyone was very disdainful of Zhang Yuxing, who stepped forward when he saw his merits and ran home when he saw a strong enemy, and kept shouting and scolding and venting the anger in his heart.
Only Liu Yunwei stood quietly on the side and looked at the scenery outside the city, and after a while, the afterglow on the horizon gradually sprinkled down, plating the scenery outside the city into a golden color. Liu Yunwei looked at the beautiful scenery at dusk and said to himself: "The scenery of Qilu lives up to its reputation, I hope that after this battle, Shandong can truly return to tranquility." ”
Several people around sighed when they heard this.
Everyone looked at it for a while, and Liu Yunwei said to everyone: "It's not too early, let's go back." Early tomorrow morning, the headquarters will begin to be reorganized, and all the soldiers of the family and Ding departments will be organized into the headquarters. After that, we will wave our army south and take Shanxian directly. ”
At this time, Lu Ying said: "Big brother, if all the family departments are reorganized, there will be too many soldiers under the jurisdiction of each headquarters, and in that case, we will be overstaffed." ”
Liu Yunwei looked at the people who were a little worried, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter anymore, after we have eliminated Gu Xinghai, according to our merits, the re-expansion of the Hanwei battalion is an ironclad thing, and you must prepare for the expansion of the army in advance." ”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately very excited, as if they had seen the majestic posture of Hanwei Camp returning to its peak!
"Look, I will kill back to Liaodong step by step, and the Hanwei battalion will also return to the anti-Hu battlefield!"
