Chapter 521: Meeting with the General

"Humble Xu Zhong, I've seen the Prime Minister and the staff officer" Xu Zhong stepped forward, hugged his fist, and said loudly. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Before Xu Wei had a daughter, he loved two juniors the most, one was his nephew Fan Yi, and the other was his own nephew, Xu Zhong. Seeing him come in, his face unconsciously softened, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"On the orders of the commanders of this department, I have come to report urgent matters to the minister," Xu Zhong said with a glance. When he said this division, he naturally refers to the Liangxing pacification division. It's all unified, of course, it's Xu Wu.

Xu Wei nodded: "Say it." ”

"Yesterday, Tabai sent back the police information, saying that there were enemy troops going straight to Baoji along the south bank of Weishui. Our troops strengthened their garrison and wanted to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, this enemy army stopped more than ten miles before the Dasan Pass and sent several people to report. The self-proclaimed Shaanxi Han Army has betrayed the puppet dynasty and wants to defect to the Western Army. As soon as Xu Zhong told the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Wei's eyes kept expanding.

"Go on."

Xu Dutong didn't dare to be careless, so he retreated, and the general of the army entered the customs to meet him. The other party agreed, retreated more than ten miles, and sent a person to enter the pass. said that there was a trick to make Li Cheng and others vote in the future. On the orders of Xu Dutong, he made a special trip to report. ”

Li? Xu Wei felt that this name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Then he asked, "How did your fifth uncle inquire about?" So where did Li Cheng come from? ”

It has been confirmed that it is true, and Dutong has met with Li Cheng and others. Now Li Cheng and other troops are stationed in the south of Weishui, and their subordinates are all restrained, and they have not committed any crimes in autumn. As for Li Cheng's origin, he was originally a Hebei soldier and had recruited archers. Xu Zhong replied.

Xu Wei thought for a moment and ordered: "You go back immediately and lead Li Cheng and others to see you in the future." Remember, their troops must be stationed south of Weishui, and your company must strictly supervise them."

"Order" Xu Zhong hugged his fists and saluted, and was about to leave.

"Slowly, tell Li Cheng and other generals who command the army, if they are attached to it, the commander can clearly tell them that they are not to blame for the past, and they are open and honest," Xu Wei said after thinking carefully.

After Xu Zhong left, Zijin Hu thought for a moment, but still had no clue, and said to himself: "Who is this Li Cheng?" Where does it seem to have been heard? ”

"Didn't he call himself a Hebei archer? Why didn't Xianggong ask Zichong? Wu Jue reminded.

That's right, Ma Kuo led the rebel army in Hebei to resist Jin in Wuma Mountain, and he was familiar with the area of Hebei, so he asked Wu Jue to immediately go to the second hall to call Ma Kuo, and asked: "Zichong, do you know Li Chengqi?" ”

"Li Cheng?" Ma Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered. "When the humble post was raised in Hebei to resist Jin, Li Cheng gathered thousands of people to entrench in Suzhou, calling himself 'Li Tianwang', his arm strength is superb, he can hold a three-stone strong bow, and he must be the first soldier in every battle, and the order is strict, he loves the nurse, and he has some prestige. It's just that...... This person has no integrity at all, wasn't Xianggong an inspector of the righteous army at that time? He once ordered the Hebei Righteous Army to meet together to block the remnants of the army. Li Cheng also responded to the call to send troops, but soon plundered Suzhou, and his troops were self-respecting, no different from bandits. I think that later Gao Shiyu was based in Hebei, so he voted for the puppet Han. ”

Xu Wei then remembered, why is it so familiar to me, in "Water Margin", Liangshan has one hundred singles and eight generals, isn't there a Li Tianwang Li Cheng? I think this guy is the prototype

"That's the case, Li Cheng and several Han generals rushed from the south bank of Weishui to the front of Dasanguan yesterday, saying that they had betrayed the puppet dynasty and wanted to defect to the Western Army." Wu Jue explained to Ma Kuo from the side.

Ma Kuo was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he smiled: "This is also in line with his style." ”

Xu Wei groaned: "Li Cheng is a Korean general, but he defected to me, is there any inside story here?" ”

"Humble speculation, the Jin-Han coalition army has been unable to attack Zhu Ji Pass for a long time, and has not found another way, there must be a change in the army, and Li Cheng's rebellion must be related to this." Wu Jue analyzed.

"What's so hard about that? The prime minister summoned him to ask and found out. Ma Kuo chuckled.

Two days later

Xu Weizheng was sitting in the Yamen of Qinzhou Zhizhou, and the adjutant of the Establishment Division came to report, saying that Xu Zhong had introduced several generals who had surrendered to Cheng, and had already entered the city and were waiting to be met in the Preparation Division.

As soon as Zijin Tiger heard this, he put down the business at hand, entrusted him with a general judgment, and rushed back to the Department of Preparation. Meet the generals above the flower hall.

When Xu Wei stepped into the flower hall, Xu Zhong whispered: "The system is here." ”

When the generals heard this, they almost stood up and clenched their fists at the same time, bowing down to greet each other. Xu Weijing sat down until the main seat, and then said, "Sit." ”

The number of generals sat down as he was told, still with his head bowed, and did not speak. Xu Wei glanced over and asked, "Where is Li Cheng?" ”

Xu Zhong looked at his uncle and reported: "Xianggong, Li Cheng was worried that there was no one to restrain him, and he was afraid of harming the place, so he couldn't come. ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he already understood in his heart. Li Cheng was not afraid that the troops would harm the place, but he was worried that he would leave the team and didn't know what he would do with him, so he didn't dare to come. It seems that this person has some brains, and his statement did not impress him. Ma Kuo is right, this person is indeed a bit treacherous.

didn't say anything at the moment, and when he saw that the three generals didn't look up, he smiled deliberately: "A few people don't look at Ben Shuai, so they have no choice but to report to their own homes first." Ben Shuai Xu Wei, Shaanxi System Envoy and Qin Fengshuai, what do you call a few? ”

When the words landed, one of them raised his head, glanced at the Zijin Tiger, and immediately lowered his head again. He stood up a little nervously and said softly: "Fan Zhong, who was originally a guard general in Xianyang, followed Han Chang to Fengxiang, and now he has come to join the minister, and he has no second thoughts. I wish to serve in front of the army to atone for the sins of the past. ”

Xu Wei said a "yes" and asked, "What about the other two?" ”

Another general got up and saluted Xu Wei sideways, and whispered: "The lowly Wang Fu, who was formerly under the jurisdiction of Shaanzhou, is willing to die under the command of the prime minister and redeem his merits." ”

The last general, a little more free, got up, walked to the hall, and bowed deeply to Xu Wei, but the two hands were not put down, and then said loudly: "Liang Xing, who is lowly and has raised righteousness to resist gold in Taihang Mountain, is fortunate to be under the command of Xianggong." Although he is forced to be in the puppet South Korea due to the situation, he is concerned about his homeland and often thinks of returning. I have heard the prestige of the tiger for a long time, like thunder, and I am not admirable for my humble position, but I hate to see that Han often leads tens of thousands of gold and Han rabble to commit crimes, and I am determined to return to my humble position.

This will be less than forty years old, and he will be a little thinner compared to the image of the average warrior. At most, he was six feet five long, with a thin face, a high nose, and a row of thick beards on his lips, which made him look very lean. As soon as he came, he did not report his military position in the puppet Han, but said that he had organized the rebel army to resist Jin in Taihang Mountain, because Xu Wei was the "head of the Lianghe Rebel Army" back then, so he said that he was fortunate to be under Xu Wei's command. The implication is that I don't think of myself as an outsider.

Seeing that he said so impassionedly, Xu Wei was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you keep looking at the prototype?" Ben Shuai wants to ask, what is beautiful in your palm? How about taking out the strange text and appreciating it? ”

Liang Xing's face turned red for a while, and he couldn't speak. After a long time, he slowly raised his left palm, but saw that in the palm of his hand, there were many small characters densely written.

Xu Wei couldn't cry or laugh: "This is ......"

"Humble, lowly and not good at words, fear, in the public has no form, so ask someone to write a few sentences first, so as not to ......" Liang Xing stammered.

Xu Wei couldn't help but laugh dumbly, as for it? Didn't you just come to see me and prepare a speech in advance? At the moment, he comforted: "It's not necessary, no matter how good the words are, it is empty talk after all." Xu pays the most attention to justice, whoever has the same heart as me is my fellow brother, and this handsome man will treat him with the same heart. As long as you are sincerely attached to the gold and fight against the gold, we will never mention that if someone is half-hearted...... It's best to do it early so you don't regret it in the future. ”

Hearing him say this, the three generals without exception said that they would never have two hearts

"It's very good that you can vote behind the back of Han in the heart of loyalty, and this handsome is very pleased. All pacification, reward, appointment, etc., will be arranged by the department itself later. Ben Shuai now wants to know, what was the situation of the Jin-Han coalition army before Zhu Ji Pass? Xu Wei asked.

That Fan Zhong immediately took over and said: "Xianggong Rongqi, this invasion is because of the reason for the rebellion, and the Jurchens are just assisting from the side." However, in Shaanxi, in addition to Han Chang's 20,000 soldiers, the Jurchen general Chi Zhanhui brought 40,000 Jin troops to help, entangled the Han army, and a total of 130,000 invaded Shaanxi. ”

"But under the command of Xianggong, the fierce generals are like clouds, the soldiers are fierce, and Zhu Jiguan is even more impregnable, Han Changjiu can't attack it for a long time, and he still blindly uses the strong, and the army is full of complaints, but he insists on going his own way. Today, among the coalition forces, the officers and men of all armies have deviated from morality, and their morale is low."

Xu Wei listened to it, nodded frequently, and asked again: "What is the origin of Chi Zhanhui?" ”

"This person is a fierce general under the fourth prince's Wushu account, and he is often a pioneer with some means, and this time he entered Shaanxi, headed by him." Wang Fu replied.

When Xu Wei heard this, he took a breath: "If Ben Shuai is not mistaken, Han Chang seems to be the old department of Sticky Han?" He and his father Han Qinghe, both famous generals of the Han'er Army, were not besieged in Huazhou back then, his father and son tried to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and they were arrested, but they couldn't let go of his father and son, but there was such a thing? ”

The three generals looked at each other, we don't know much about the secret in the golden army, how did Hu Shuai know about it?

Fan Zhong and Wang Fu didn't speak, only Liang Xing said truthfully: "I really don't know." ”

"How many soldiers and horses did you take with you this time?" Xu Wei asked again.

"The sum of the four lowly divisions is about 13,000 horse infantry troops. If it weren't for the time when crossing the Weishui, the Jin people would chase and kill, then the number of soldiers and horses attached would exceed this number. Fan Zhong said. This is true, a few days ago, the total strength of the generals who met in Li Cheng's account was about 26,000. Unfortunately, many brothers failed to cross the Weishui and died under the pursuit of the Jin army

Thirteen thousand? Xu Wei's heart moved, in the eyes of the current Western Army, or Qin Fengjun, 13,000 is not a small number, and the key is not that he has added more than 10,000 people, but that the Jinhan coalition army has folded these many soldiers and horses, and the army's heart must be shaken
