Chapter 230: Commandment
Xiliang, Wangcheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Far away in the far west, there is a place called Jincheng, although the city is not big, but it is extremely prosperous, that is the royal city of Xiliang, and every will of Xiliang is issued from here.
Early this morning, when the King of Xiliang went to court, he received a report from his subordinates that Luo Tong's army had arrived at the Jiepai Pass, with 50,000 vanguards, all of whom were the elite of Chang'an, trying to attack the Jiepai.
What worries King Xiliang is that some time ago, someone reported to him that Wang Buchao, the guard of Jiepai Pass, married his daughter to Luo Yi of the Yue State Mansion. And now, Luo Tong, Luo Yi, and even his daughter came to Xiliang together, will Wang Buchao surrender?
With family affection on one side and Xiliang on the other, how will Wang Buchao choose?
"King Qiyu, his subordinates think that Wang Buchao should be removed immediately and let him return to his hometown to live for the rest of his life."
After the next dynasty, the military adviser of the king of Xiliang followed the king of Xiliang to the study and offered advice.
As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people.
Since knowing that Wang Buchao and the Luo family are in-laws, King Xiliang has been thinking about how to properly arrange Wang Buchao. With the words of the military advisor Xiao Wuliang, King Xiliang thought about it carefully.
After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "No." ”
"Wang Buchao is my Xiliang general in the end, he has been loyal for many years, and has made countless meritorious contributions, if he is deposed at this time for no reason, it will inevitably lead to suspicion, and more than a dozen cities behind the Jiepai Pass will also be in danger."
"Besides, he now has an army of 30,000 in his hands, and if he is forced to rush and turn against us, then the matter will be in trouble."
Xiao Wuliang said: "The king doesn't have to worry, with my understanding of Wang Buchao, he will definitely not turn his back on the Lord and join the enemy, he has been loyal all his life, how can he not protect it at this time; Retreat 10,000 and say, even if he joins the Tang Dynasty, he will never be our enemy. ”
"Makes sense."
Thinking about Wang Buchao's loyalty for decades, King Xiliang laughed and said, "I don't think he will betray me at all, military advisor, you are too worried." ”
Xiao Wuliang said: "King, but if he joins the Tang Dynasty, the 30,000 troops of Jiepai Pass and Jiepai Pass will all fall into the hands of the Tang Army, which is extremely unfavorable for us to guard Xiliang." ”
"The capital of more than a dozen cities behind Jiepai Pass is low and small, and there are few major generals, so it is difficult to block the edge of the Tang army, once the 30,000 troops are obtained, then Luo Tong's momentum will be even worse, and it will be possible to reach Sleepy Yang City in less than ten days, and at that time, the soldiers fighting on the front line will be in danger."
"What do you think?"
Xiao Wuliang said: "King, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to depose the king is not to exceed, and another general will be stationed at the boundary card pass; After Marshal Xiao killed Li Shimin, let him come back to report on his work. At that time, he will not be able to turn over any wind and waves, and my Xiliang army will sweep the Central Plains.... ”
"Report..."
At this moment, a shout came from outside the study, and with the sound of hurried footsteps, a dusty soldier walked in.
"What?"
King Xiliang got up and asked.
The soldier spoke quickly, his voice trembling, "The king... The king, the villain has something important to report. ”
"Say."
The soldier said: "The villain overheard the conversation between General Wang and his subordinates, and the old general he... He's going to surrender to Tang! When the villain heard the news, he immediately rode to the royal city on a fast horse and reported to the king. ”
General Wang? Who is it referring to? Could it be Wang Buchao?
King Xiliang asked, "Are you from the Boundary Pai Pass?" ”
"Yes."
King Xiliang set a rule in his early years, as long as he came from the front line, whether it was a general or a soldier, or a small common man, if he was a military leader, he did not need to go through the report and go straight to the main hall.
Although this move can get the news from the front line faster, there are undoubtedly many shortcomings, and the identity of the person who reported the message, the authenticity and so on, are also worth verifying.
For example, the soldier in front of him said that he came from the boundary card level, who can be sure?
King Xiliang stared at the soldier's eyes and asked, "Okay, then let me ask you, how about the king is not super long?" How old is it? How tall is it? Do you have children? Don't hesitate to answer immediately. ”
The soldier took a deep breath and quickly replied: "Your lord, the old general Wang has a childish face, he is ninety-eight years old, eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a daughter named Wang Yan under his knees, who married into the Yueguo Mansion in Chang'an two months ago. ”
"Good answer, it seems that you are not lying, you are indeed Wang Buchao's soldier."
King Xiliang waved his hand and said: "You are bold and careful, you are a talent that can be created, go down and receive the reward." ”
"Yes."
The soldier got up, turned and walked quickly out of the study.
King Xiliang looked at Xiao Wuliang and said, "Strategist, what do you say?" ”
Xiao Wuliang said: "Your lord, your subordinates still think that when the king is deposed, it is not too much, and other generals will be sent to garrison the boundary card pass to protect the boundary card pass." ”
This time, the king of Xiliang did not object, and the words of the soldier just now made him think about Wang Buchao, and he no longer trusted him as before.
King Xiliang said: "Okay, it's accurate." ”
"I will personally write an order and send someone to the Jiepai Pass, as for the candidate for the Jiepai Pass, I will leave it to you, so I can think about it and then make a decision."
Xiao Wuliang smiled and arched his hand: "The king is wise." ”
That night, a team of light horses rode out of the royal city, and under the leadership of a young general, galloped in the direction of Jiepai Pass.
But he didn't run far, just out of the range of Jincheng, he was ambushed by a group of people, more than a dozen horsemen did not survive, all of them were killed on the spot by bows and arrows, and then, from the arms of the little general, a handwritten order written by the king of Xiliang was searched.
Then, the group changed into the clothes of a dozen dead soldiers, and took the order of King Xiliang and ran to the Jiepai Pass.
The whole process was very simple and fast, from the beginning to the end of the battle, there was only less than half a cup of tea, no one noticed, and even when killing the dozen or so people, even the shouts were extremely small.
God doesn't know, ghosts don't know...
.........
Boundary card level.
After another three days, the fake messenger cavalry finally arrived at the Jiepai Pass, because they were all wearing the clothes of the soldiers of the King of Xiliang, so it was easy to enter the city and walk directly towards the palace of Wang Buchao.
There was no one to stop him on the way, and he arrived at the palace with just a cup of tea.
Hearing that his subordinates said that there was a messenger from Wangcheng, Wang Buchao did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the mansion from the military camp.
"Old general, this is the king's edict, do you want to read it yourself, or will I read it to you?"
The one who spoke was a young man dressed in a general's uniform, wearing a golden helmet and a long sword at his waist, very powerful, and he was also the leader of the dozen or so soldiers.
Wang Buchao was extremely respectful, and arched his hand: "Since it is an edict, the subordinates should listen to it." ”
"Okay, then I'll read it to you."
The general chuckled lightly, opened the silk in his hand, and read: "The edict of the king, the king does not overshoot the private collection of soldiers and horses, and intends to plot against him, so he hereby sends this edict to depose all the officials and lords, and escort the royal city to be tried; During the period of leaving Jiepai Pass, Wang Dang, the general of Huwei, served as the guard general of Jiepai Pass, presiding over the military and political affairs of Jiepai Pass. ”
