Chapter 118: Chinese New Year's Eve 3
Chencang County, here is also heavy snowfall!
Li Gang has been here for more than two months, of course, Li Gang did not arrive alone, with him came more than ten soldiers of the Zhejia Army! These more than ten Zhejia soldiers are mainly to monitor Li Gang, and if Li Gang does anything here, they will report to Zhe Keqiu! Although Li Gang has been driven out by Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu is not at ease, and is still watching him closely!
Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Li Gang gathered all these soldiers of the Folding Family Army into his room!
He prepared good wine and food, and spent Chinese New Year's Eve with these soldiers of the Folding Family Army!
These soldiers of the Zhejia Army came all the way from Hanzhong to Chencang County, and they never paid attention to Li Gang! They have knives and guns in their hands, how can they afford to look up to a scholar who is powerless?
From night to now, there have been soldiers of the Zhejia Army who have been drunk on the wine table, and gradually everyone has drunk there!
Li Gang also drank too much and his face was flushed!
He opened the door, walked out, and suddenly stuffed his fingers into his mouth and throat, and suddenly he couldn't take it anymore and began to lie on the ground and vomit! The wine that I had drunk in my stomach was spit out constantly!
After a while, he finally stopped, and he crouched on the ground, gasping for breath!
However, my head, which was a little groggy from drinking, has also become sober!
"Master Li!" At this moment, there was a sudden soft cry beside him!
"You're finally here!" Li Gang raised his head, and a smile appeared on his pale face!
In front of him stood a tall man, this man with a bearded face turned out to be Wang De, who had gone to Jingyuan City in the first place!
It turned out that when Li Gang went out at noon, he saw Wang De in the county town, and at that time he estimated that Wang De would come to him at night, so he used a trick to get all the soldiers of the Zhejia Army drunk and fell to the ground!
"Master Li knows I'll come?" Wang De said in surprise.
"I saw you in the morning! Now those people are lying in the house! Li Gang pointed to the room and said.
Wang De nodded, he strode into the house, and added a finger to all the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, confirming that everyone was hit in the acupoint, and he was relieved!
"Master Li, let's find a quiet room to talk! In addition to me, there are other friends coming! Wang Dedao.
"Other friends?" Li Gang was stunned!
"Master Li, it's been a long time!" At this moment, a laugh was heard in the distance, and a young man dressed as a literati appeared in the courtyard!
"Wang Shu?!" Li Gang made an unbelievable voice!
In addition to Wang Shu, there were two more people outside, these two people were tall and burly, and they were warriors at first glance!
"Jingyuan Road Zhao Zhe has seen Master Li!" One of the middle-aged warriors in their thirties arched his hand and said.
"Zhao Zhe?" Li Gang was taken aback again!
The Jingyuan Road's envoy is Quduan, and the deputy envoy is Zhao Zhe! This Zhao Zhenai is the second best general in the Jingyuan Army after Quduan, and he actually came to Chencang County at this moment! It is impossible for Li Gang not to be surprised!
"Jingyuan Road, Liu Qi has seen Master Li!" The slightly younger warrior smiled and arched his hand.
"Liu Qi!" Li Gang was surprised again!
This Liu Qi, like Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and others, is also from a family of soldiers! When Song Huizong was in power, Liu Qi was recommended by Gao Yu to enter the forbidden army! Later, Liu Qi followed the seed master road to the Jingyuan army, and after the seed master left the seed master road, Liu Qi followed Qu Duan! Now Qu Duan is the first person in the Jingyuan Army, Zhao Zhe is the second person, and Liu Qi is the third person!
In history, after Qu Duan was killed by Zhang Jun, Liu Qi succeeded Qu Duan as a strategic envoy to Jingyuan Road, and then Liu Qi became the commander of the Eight-Character Army! There are two theories in history about the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, one of which is to replace Liu Guangshi with Liu Qi, who is one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty! As for Zhao Zhe, after Qu Duan's death, he became the strategic envoy of the Huanqing Army!
It can be said that now except for Quduan, the important figures of the Jingyuan Army have all come to Chencang County, and Li Gang is simply stunned at the moment!
"Hurry! Let's talk to the house over there! After a while, Li Gang reacted and hurriedly said.
At this moment, he strode forward, while secretly thinking about this matter, he didn't understand why the main generals of the Jingyuan Army had come to Chencang County! Could it be that the attitude of the Jingyuan Army has changed? Could it be that they decided to support the emperor?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Gang was ecstatic! Now the Jingyuan Army is a force second only to the Zhejia Army, with a strength of 100,000, if the Jingyuan Army is willing to help, then it is not impossible to eliminate Zhe Keqiu!
Soon, they came to a hut! Li Gang lit the fire, and everyone sat down!
*** ***
"The names of all the generals, I have admired them for a long time, and I didn't expect to see all the generals here!" After everyone sat down, Li Gang said.
"Master Li is famous in the world and admired by the world! In front of Master Lee, we are nothing! Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Why have you come to see me?" Li Gang said.
"Naturally, it is to rescue Your Majesty and be loyal to Your Majesty! If you are ambitious and master the government, the military and the people of the world are not convinced! We have decided to help Your Majesty, Qingjun's side, so that Your Majesty can truly control the government! Wang Shu said.
"This is what General Qu Duanqu meant?" Li Gang said a little excitedly.
"General Qu has no such plans! If General Qu had this plan, when he was in Hanzhong, he would have promised you, Master Li! Wang Shu said with a smile.
"That'...... Is this what a few of you mean? Li Gang said in disbelief.
"Not bad! General Qu has no ambitions, he just wants to stay in Jingyuan City, and he just wants to keep the 100,000 Jingyuan army! His Majesty was oppressed in Hanzhong City, but he didn't care about it! But we can't stand it, we must help Your Majesty! Zhao Zhe stood up and said.
"We've already discussed it, so we're here to contact Master Li!" Liu Qi said.
"Does General Qu know about this?" Li Gang said.
"General Qu doesn't know! We're secretly here to see you, Master Li, this time! Wang Shu said.
"General Qu is the envoy of Jingyuan Road, in charge of the army! If he didn't know about this, would he have agreed to transfer the army in the future? Li Gang said.
"We can move an army without his consent! I, Zhao Zhe, am the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road, Liu Qi is the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and with Wang Shu here, the three of us are enough to mobilize the army! Zhao Zhe said with a smile.
"I heard that Qu Duan has a very high prestige in the Jingyuan army, without him, how many troops can you mobilize?" Li Gang said.
"This Lord Li rest assured, his prestige is very high, but we are mobilizing the army in the name of the Qing monarch, and we have persuaded countless low-level generals! We can mobilize at least 50,000 troops now! Wang Shu said.
"Fifty thousand troops, that's half of the Jingyuan army! The Jingyuan Army is the strongest army in the northwest, and these 50,000 people are already a lot! Li Gang nodded.
"The matter on the Qingjun side, let's discuss it well! There are more than 100,000 troops in the hands of that traitor, and he has occupied the Great Dispersion Pass, and it is also a little difficult for us to quietly pass through the Great Dispersion Pass! If we storm the Great Scattered Pass, I am afraid that we will take Your Majesty to Sichuan! From Hanzhong to Sichuan, there are many passes, and the Shu Road is difficult, and it is even more difficult to rescue His Majesty at that time! Wang Shu said.
"It's time for us to have a good discussion! In addition to you, a few of His Majesty's original personal guards are now in Henan and Hedong, and they are recruiting rebels, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses they have! In addition, Li Ruoshui, Wu Jue, Wu Ling and others are in Sichuan, and they also have a certain number of soldiers and horses! Together, as long as the measures are appropriate, we should be able to clear the king's side! Regarding the Great Dispersion Pass, it is indeed difficult to enter quietly, and now we need a chance to ......," Li Gang pondered.
Among them, Li Gang is the first prime minister of Nandu, Wang Shu is the first strategist under Qu Duan, Liu Qi is the later famous general of the anti-gold resistance, and Zhao Zhe is also a general who has been in the Western Army for many years!
All night, they discussed endlessly, and the crux of the matter was still on how to quietly take the Great Scattered Pass, and to prevent the compromise from taking the emperor to Sichuan! If they can solve this problem, they can do it at any time!
When the sky was slightly bright, Wang Shu, Wang De, Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi and others walked out of Li Gang's room!
They've already discussed it, and we'll keep in touch from now on! In addition, Wang Shu and others continued to mobilize in the Jingyuan army, gathering more lower-level generals, and making these lower-level generals loyal to the emperor! Of course, Li Gang naturally inevitably promised these people an official title on behalf of Zhao Chen! If there is no benefit, why would these people betray Qu Duan to help Zhao Chen?
The sky is slightly bright, and the snow is flying!
Li Gang stood there, but he felt extremely happy in his heart! Until now, rescuing His Majesty finally has an eyebrow! With the help of the 50,000 Jingyuan Army, he already has enough strength!
"Originally, I thought that I would have to endure for a long time, and it might take a few years or even ten years to find a chance to clear the monarch's side! But the Jingyuan army has taken refuge in His Majesty, so we don't need to be patient anymore! As long as there is a chance, as long as there is a proper opportunity, we can kill and sought! However, there is still a lot to consider! If he dies, will these people from the Jingyuan Army be another one after they enter Hanzhong? ”
"Probably not! If Qu Duan was involved in this matter, I would still be worried about this matter, but now Qu Duan is not involved in this matter! Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi are both generals in the Jingyuan Army, but their status is not much different! Wang Shu is Quduan's strategist, not a real general......"
"Still, I should be on guard! I want to contact Li Ruoshui, Wu Jue, Wu Lu and others, when the time comes, they should also quickly occupy the main road of Shuguan and separate Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhen! After that, Wu Jiewu should also enter Hanzhong, so that he can form a balance with the Jingyuan army! ”
But no matter what, Li Gang felt that he finally saw hope! The snow was floating on his face, and his face should have been extremely cold, but at this moment, his face was red and hot because of excitement!
