Chapter 937: News Leaked
Zeng Huaiwu said that Uncle Ning is called Wang Ning, is the archdeacon of the Zeng family's major industries, he is sixty-five years old this year, has served the Zeng family for 40 years, and is loyal to the Zeng family, and the Zeng family respectfully calls him Uncle Ning.
He usually patrols all over Bashu, this time when Zeng Xiulin was arrested, he happened to be in Chengdu Mansion, when the news of Zeng's mansion was searched, the first thing Wang Ning did was to send a pigeon letter to inform the Zeng family in Chongning County, and then he went into hiding.
He had already contacted Zeng Huaiwu yesterday, in principle, he supported Zeng Huaiwu's plan to grab people, Wang Ning is a very pragmatic, very calm person, he knows very well that Li Yanqing's purpose of doing to the Zeng family is to control the financial resources of Bashu to make military spending, and the Zeng family controls nearly forty percent of the financial resources of the richest Chengdu Fulu, this is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides, Li Yanqing will inevitably put Zeng Xiulin to death and seize all the wealth of the Zeng family.
Only if Zeng Xiulin survives can he have a chance to win the support of the Emperor Taishang and win back this game, otherwise people will die and everything will be over.
Sanchuan Cargo Bank is located near Wuhou Temple, this is the Zeng family's water transport firm, Zeng's family has three fleets of 400 cargo ships on the Minjiang River, as well as five special wharves and nearly 100 warehouses along the way, there are more than 1,000 boatmen and sailors, all of which are responsible for the general dispatch of Sanchuan Cargo Bank.
At this moment, in a courtyard in the Sanchuan goods store, Wang Ning is assigning tasks to three martial artists, Wang Ning is a thin little old man, his beard and hair are white, but he is in excellent spirits and full of anger when he speaks.
"The time is tonight's third watch, our target is only the old master, in fact, the Zeng clan can ignore it for the time being, and immediately evacuate to the west gate after succeeding, there are two key links in this, attacking the government and seizing the west gate."
Wang Ning spread out a floor plan of the government on the table, "This is the map of the government, according to our latest information, the old master is being imprisoned here!" ”
Wang Ning pointed to one of the huts that had been marked red, and continued: "This place is closer to the west gate of the mansion, so we must attack through the west gate, fortunately, your opponents are all women. ”
The three martial artists all looked at each other in surprise, how could it be a woman?
Wang Ning smiled slightly: "In order to paralyze the head of the family, Li Yanqing only brought five hundred female soldiers to the south this time, these five hundred female soldiers are all guards, that is, the kind of rescue of the wounded, they are not formal soldiers, they are very good at bandaging wounds, but they are far worse at fighting and shooting, which can be regarded as Li Yanqing's cocooning and self-restraint." ”
Because of the isolation of the news, Wang Ning didn't know about Heming Villa, otherwise he would never dare to say that Li Yanqing only brought five hundred female soldiers to the south.
The three martial artists are all generals cultivated by the Zeng family, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are very loyal to the Zeng family, each of them has fifty dead soldiers, responsible for protecting the Zeng family's industry, Zeng Huaiwu really pinned his hopes on not seven hundred Zhuang Ding, but one hundred and fifty dead soldiers hiding in the city.
Wang Ning continued: "Li Yanqing only has five hundred female soldiers to rely on, and these five hundred female soldiers are scattered, there are only two hundred people in the mansion, and there are only sixty people in Ximen, and we are one hundred and fifty strong and dead soldiers, can we not kill two hundred and six hundred delicate women?" ”
The three of them immediately cheered up, Wang Ning's words were like giving them chicken blood, which immediately made them full of confidence, and they even began to think about whether to take strict military discipline and not to commit adultery on female soldiers who took advantage of the opportunity, so as not to delay the opportunity.
"This plan must be kept strictly confidential, and no one is allowed to leak it except for confidants!" Wang Ning instructed again and again.
"Obey!" The three of them stood up and saluted.
Wang Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Next, we will continue to discuss the details of the arrangement." ”
........
As soon as the day is dark, the street is deserted, so that the children dare not cry at night Zengmen Ten Tigers have led the troops to appear outside the north city gate, which brings great shock and panic to the people in the city, the day is dark and the family closes, the shops are also closed early, the dark clouds are thick, the lights are dim, so that Chengdu County is shrouded in darkness.
Li Yanqing was standing on the tower of Beicheng at this time to observe the Zeng family army below, at dusk, he saw with his own eyes the 'demeanor' of the Zeng family Zhuang Ding, frankly speaking, 700 of them are not bad, the team is neat, the armor is bright, it can be seen that they are well-trained, but this army has always lacked one thing, Li Yanqing finally understood that they lacked the real murderous spirit.
Don't look at their murderous spirit now, that's actually just the appearance, the real murderous spirit is the fierce spirit that the bones exude, this is to go through the test of bloody war, the land of Bashu has not experienced war since the founding of the Song Dynasty, how can the Zeng family Zhuang Ding cultivated in the greenhouse have a real murderous spirit, except for the armor and weapons are all top-notch, there is no other merit.
And Li Yanqing also observed another detail, Zeng's family Zhuang Ding did not carry siege weapons, of course they would not have earth-shaking thunder, so what did they use to attack the city, cut down a big tree as a siege ram? I'm afraid they won't even be able to cross the moat.
So why did they seize Zeng Xiulin? In fact, the answer is already coming out, it must be the inner response, the people in the city opened the city gate for them, so where is this internal response? How many people are there?
When Li Yanqing was pondering, a soldier reported: "Xu Tong's sentence is here!" ”
Li Yanqing turned around, only to see that Xu Qinghui, the general judge, was hurrying over, and there seemed to be someone behind him.
Xu Qinghui is now completely in the same boat as Li Yanqing, he is even more eager than Li Yanqing to bring down Zeng Xiulin, and even more eager than Li Yanqing to destroy Zeng's Manmen, once Zeng Xiulin is relieved, the first person to clean up is not Li Yanqing, but him Xu Qinghui.
"There is an important situation!" Before he got closer, Xu Qinghui shouted loudly.
"Xu Tongju, have you found anything?" Li Yanqing stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Wang Tuanlian, come on!"
Xu Qinghui pulled out Wang Tuanlian behind him, Wang Tuanlian was equivalent to the militia captain in later generations, Li Yanqing disbanded the township soldiers, and Wang Tuanlian became unemployed, but he had another idea, Li Yanqing formed a militia of 10,000 people, how much chance should there be?
He was itching, but he knew that he lacked a name, until just now, a perfect opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wang Tuanlian bowed and saluted: "My clan is secretly gathering the dead soldiers of the Zeng family to prepare for tonight's action, which is not good for the Jing Strategy. ”
Li Yanqing was overjoyed, he was worried about this matter, and the turning point came.
"Who is your father?" He hurriedly asked.
"My clan's name is Wang Ning, and he is the chief steward of the Zeng family's industry, he just found me and asked me to gather the township soldiers and act with him tonight."
Xu Qinghui next to him explained: "This Wang Ning has a very high status in the Zeng family, the Zeng family has a group of thugs, known as dead soldiers, who are specifically responsible for protecting the Zeng family's industry, which is under the control of this Wang Ning, I thought he was in the field, but I didn't expect him to hide in Chengdu Mansion." ”
"How many dead are there?" Li Yanqing asked again.
"One hundred and fifty people!" Wang Tuan practiced.
"So what are their specific plans for tonight, and when are they going to do it?"
Wang Tuanlian shook his head, "He didn't even want to say, he just asked me to gather the township soldiers, as many as I could, and he would inform me before the action." ”
It seems that this Wang Ning is still very cautious and refuses to reveal any details, Li Yanqing thought about it and asked, "Where are they now, do you know?" ”
"He didn't tell me, but guessed it was probably hiding in Sanchuan Goods, which is their lair."
Li Yanqing immediately beckoned the two personal soldiers to come over, and he said to Wang Tuanlian: "You take my people to Sanchuan Goods Store to have a look, and report the news immediately." ”
"Ignorance, understood!"
Wang Tuanlian hurriedly went down to the city with two personal soldiers, Xu Qinghui said with palpitations: "If it weren't for Wang Tuanlian's timely report, I really didn't know that Wang Ning was actually in the city, it was very dangerous!" ”
Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "What is the relationship between this Wang Tuanlian and Wang Ning, he will actually betray him?" ”
"Although he is called a clan prince, it doesn't really matter, they are all surnamed Wang, and the envoy disbanded the township soldiers, and Wang Tuanlian has nothing to do, so he wants to find something to do under the envoy."
Li Yanqing nodded, "As long as he works for me, I won't treat him badly, if he makes meritorious service tonight, I will let him be a leader in the Chengdu militia." ”
Xu Qinghui left, a quarter of an hour later, two personal soldiers came to report, "We have found traces of the dead, they are indeed hiding in the Sanchuan goods store, Wang Tuanlian found the restaurant that supplies food to the Sanchuan Mansion, the restaurant shopkeeper said that they have sent a large number of meals to the Sanchuan goods store in the past two days, and each meal is about 200 servings." ”
Li Yanqing groaned slightly, since he didn't know the other party's plan, he could only strike first.
