Chapter 321: Infernal Affairs (II)
"Doctor, who dares to make noise outside the big tent?" Feng Rinqi is surprised, the martial arts are extremely particular about the rules, and those who make noise for no reason can be beheaded, punished, and punished depending on the severity of the situation! What's more, the military officials are very loyal and respectful to Zhao Wuxian, and they will get off the car and dismount when they pass the camp, but their footsteps will be light.
Zhao Wuxian shook his head helplessly: "No, say Zilu, Zilu will arrive." β
He took Feng Rin to open the curtain and take a look, and sure enough, Zilu, the brave man with a long sword in his hand, was standing at the door of the big tent and glaring angrily.
Several guards wanted to block them with swords and shields under the leadership of Musha, but they were forced back by Zilu empty-handed, and there were still a few deep foot marks left by the conflict on the ground!
Seeing that Zhao Wuxian appeared, Zilu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Doctor Zhao tell his master that he wanted to fall Yang Hu when he was in Zhongdu?" How did it become that today it has become a mutual help with the party of the Yang Tiger! I hope the doctor can explain a thing or two! β
The cheers were like thunder, and the shock was so loud that Feng Rin's ears buzzed, even though his knowledge and ability had grown a lot, he still took half a step back with some trembling.
But Mu Xia knew that the enemy was no longer able to defeat Zilu, but he still did not retreat, stood up between him and Zhao Wuxian, and protected his lord behind the shield and sword, and the atmosphere between the two tall warriors became more and more solemn, and it was about to explode!
Wuxian did not assign Zilu a soldier or a pawn, but when he was in a hurry, he was asked to be the right guard of the car, but when he was camping, Zilu became an idler with a special status, and some hidden things in the barracks had to avoid him.
So Zilu was bored to check Zhao Wuxian's camping method everywhere, and was surprised from time to time, but it didn't take long for him to find that the barracks of Dr. Yuncheng's uncle Sun Zhi were next to it, and the military guards had people coming over to help set up camp one after another, and the relationship between Shu Sun Zhi and Zhao Wuxian seemed to be very close.
Zilu has a real personality, although the master told him some things when he left, he didn't think much about it. When he saw what was happening in front of him, he was shocked and angry, thinking that his master's fears had become a reality. He hurriedly ran to find an explanation.
Separated by the nervous warriors, although there were ten steps away, Zhao Wuxian could hear the gurgling of Zilu's teeth and fists, he knew it. As long as this warrior made up his mind, he could even quickly break through this short distance and put the long sword directly under Zhao Wuxian's neck!
If this is the case, Le Qi's unfinished "Biography of the Assassins" may have a new name added......
Raising a tiger must prevent the tiger from eating it, but fortunately, the tiger in front of him. has been tamed by Confucius, is reasonable, after a few days of getting along, Zhao Wuxian also figured out how to let this sincere tiger bite others.
"Stand down." Zhao Wuxian waved his hand to let Mu Xia and his guards get out of the way, facing the long sword in Zilu's hand, unless dozens of people besieged it with bows and crossbows, they would not be able to get any benefits.
"The situation in Lucheng is complicated, and it is also appropriate for Zilu to have doubts in his heart, and he will not be able to explain clearly for a while, so it is better to take a break. Come with me and you'll see it right away. β
Looking at Zhao Wuxian's harmless smile, Zilu's originally angry mood suddenly became confused again, and he withdrew half of his sword from the scabbard with a bang.
After following Wuxian through several tents, in a small tent that was tightly covered in broad daylight, Zilu saw the mysterious person who covered his face in soapy clothes, and he was even more suspicious.
"Doctor Zifu? Why are you here!? β
He was dumbfounded, it turned out that the person who came was Zifu He, who was in charge of the communication between Zhao Wuxian and Meng. In the past, cronies were sent to convey it on their behalf, but today the stakes are very high. He couldn't be relieved, but he came in person.
"In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Yang Hu henchmen and not let Dr. Zhao's true purpose be exposed, that's why he dressed up like this. But it made Zilu smile. Zifu He took off his hood, revealing a slightly pale face.
Zifu He has a close relationship with Confucius's disciples and likes to help Confucius advocate, so Zilu trusts him very much.
After listening to Zilu's explanation, Zifu He stomped his feet and sighed: "Zilu misunderstood the doctor, and the doctor first had a holiday with Yanghu. However, in order to protect the Meng clan, he was forced to approach Yanghu and enter his henchmen to spy on the news, and now he was able to lead the troops to Lucheng as a help from us, so don't be fooled by appearances. β
In the past two months, Zhao Wuxian has made full use of the intricacies of the forces of the Lu State, and they have all sought the convenience of themselves and the Zhao clan of the Jin State, and played a game of Infernal Affairs. Zifu He was convinced of Zhao Wuxian, and although Meng was still suspicious, he also believed some of his words.
If you don't believe it, you can't do it, the information that Zhao Wuxian got is too important for the frightened bird-like Meng clan!
Yang Hu may not look down on Zhao Wuxian's hundreds of people, but for the Meng family, even if there is one more straw, he can hold it carefully, just to give himself more hope of survival.
After Zhao Wuxian showed the hands-on time he got from Yang Hu today to Zifu He, Meng Shi, who was originally lucky, suddenly found that he had been driven to a dead end.
Zilu was straightforward, and after explaining to Zhao Wuxian in Zifu, he suddenly realized that this forty-year-old man slapped him twice on the head, and then bowed down to Zhao Wuxian, who was twice as old as him, and lowered his arrogant head slightly for the first time.
"It's Nakayu who is reckless and misunderstands the doctor! Please also ask the doctor to punish according to the law of the army! β
Zhao Wuxian stretched out his hand to help, but found that he couldn't help this stubborn guy at all, so he could only comfort: "This matter is very important, so I didn't tell Zilu in advance, it's my fault, Zilu doesn't have to blame himself, since I said it today, this follow-up thing has to rely on Zilu!" β
"Although Doctor Zhao commanded, when the master came, he told Zhong You that he should serve and obey the doctor as a lord!"
Zhao Wuxian's heart moved when he heard this, but then he stabilized his mind again: "There is just an important matter, and I have to rely on a warrior like Zilu who has the courage of ten thousand men to do it!" β
β¦β¦
On the second day of the new year, after the end of the sacrifice, Mengsun He Ji paced back and forth in the hall, so nervous that he couldn't even change his lenient and cumbersome dress.
He is the 9th generation suzerain of the Mengsun clan of the Lu State and the son of Meng Xizi. He is not a son-in-law, his mother is the daughter of Quanqiu people, and he had a bizarre dream when he was in the house, dreaming that he slept in the curtain of the Meng Temple, so he boldly took his girlfriend out on a safari and passed through this place Meng Xizi, and fornicated with the Yehe Alliance in the Qingqiu Society, and became his concubine.
I don't know if it's because of the identity of Xiaoye Heshuzi, although Mengsun He Ji looks dignified, and after being taught by Confucius for a few years, he also looks gentle and elegant, and he is the most decent one among the three Huan, but he is a little hesitant and indecisive in doing things.
Lu Zhaogong was twenty-five years old, and Zhaogong wanted to expel Sanhuan in one fell swoop. When he regained the power of the office, the young Mengsun He Ji did not dare to send troops to help Ji Pingzi, and did not rush to send troops until the overall situation was determined.
Meng Sun He Ji thought that the coup d'Γ©tat was the most difficult choice he had ever made in his life. However, he didn't expect that after the death of the two uncles of the Ji family and the Shusun family, the courtier Yang Hu who had worked with him would be bold and reckless, erect Sanhuan, and take charge of the Lu country!
on this. The cowardly Meng Sun He was helpless.
I don't know if it's Meng Xianzi, the souls of the two ancestors of Meng Xianzi are blessed, and although Meng's retainers are as capable as Yang Hu, they are loyal to the head of the family. Whether it is Uncle Meng Jing, the younger brother who has a reputation for benevolence and virtue, or the father of the Duke of Yuyi who has a heavy army, or the son of the little sect who can speak well, they all fully support the Meng family, so that Yang Hu does not dare to start.
Meng, or rather, Zhongsun. Qing's father, a big traitor, later became the only remaining real power family in Sanhuan.
Judging from today's situation, this delicate balance has gradually become unmaintainable, and Yang Hu may not be able to help but do it!
So after returning to the mansion, Mengsun He Ji hurriedly summoned his cronies to come for a secret talk.
"Under the pretext of guarding against robbers and increasing the honor guard of the sacrificial ceremony, Yang Hu wantonly summoned his henchmen to lead the troops into the outer Guo of Lucheng, and now even the office is full of people, cutting off the news between us and the monarch, isn't it, isn't it the day of the move?"
The tall and unsung armor and long sword of the Emperor Zai Gong of Yunyi analyzed: "Yang Hu has been plotting for a long time. This must be a rebellion, and I don't know what the specific plan is, so we have to make some preparations in advance......"
As he was talking, there was a report from his cronies. said that Zifu He was back.
Meng Sun He was overjoyed, these days, a lot of internal news of the Yanghu Party was heard through Zifu He from Zhao Wuxian. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have let the public virgin father enter Lu City with the soldiers of Yuyi, and the difference in strength between the two sides might be even greater.
Zifu He walked in with a wide deep coat, and after bowing, he offered a slip with both hands.
"The Yanghu Rebellion was in the Ming Dynasty. Dr. Zitai risked his life to tell him, hoping that my Meng family could prepare as soon as possible! β
"Even with the hundreds of people brought by Doctor Zhao, our strength is only half of the Yang Tiger Party......" Meng Sun He Ji was dumbfounded for a moment, and then began to suffer from gains and losses again.
"The strength of the army is not in the outnumbered! With the reputation of the Meng clan among the people, the subordinates did not believe that the people would help Yang Hu in turn! "The father-in-law is in charge of the martial arts of the Meng clan, and his remarks made Meng Sun He Ji stabilize his mind.
Zifu He agreed: "What's more, Dr. Zhao has other plans, the head of the family, we haven't come to a desperate situation yet......"
At this moment, Meng Sunyue (Nangong Jingshu), the half-brother of the head of the Meng family, rushed in in a hurry.
Meng Sunyue was a young man of twenty years, he once accompanied Confucius into the Zhou room to ask Lao Tzu, and he looked quite capable. Now that he has been sealed to Nangongyi, he is about to divide a small sect, and this time he also brought a brigade of soldiers to help, responsible for communicating with Lu Hou, Ji's family, and Shusun's family.
Originally, he didn't even have time to salute after he went to the court, so he shouted: "Brother, the big thing is not good, after today's sacrifice, the sect masters of the Ji clan and the Shusun clan have cut off the news, and they can no longer be contacted!" β
β¦β¦
At the same time, in Yuncheng, two hundred miles west of Lucheng, the seven hundred Qiu Zhao soldiers who set out as follow-up troops also arrived at Guo outside Yuncheng.
Looking at this war-torn and harsh land, Ran Qiu, who hid the bright red armor given by Zhao Wuxian, and was still dressed in no paint and dull clothes, couldn't help but sigh:
"Yuncheng is low-lying, but rich in fish and rice, it is the place where Qi and Lu fought fiercely, back and forth disputes do not know how many years, after the city was built, there was a wall to shelter a little rest, plus the protection of the Jin State, here gradually gathered into a 5,000 households. Who knew that Zhao Gong was expelled by the Ji clan twenty years ago, and the war broke out again, and the Qi people seized this place as his foster town in order to seek the Lu country. So the intermittent war began, and two years ago, Yanghu claimed this place, and it was even more miserable after handing it over to his uncle Sun Zhi. β
As a native of Yuncheng, when Ran Qiu arrived here and was stationed in the Waiguo District, he informed the Tiger Society, who commanded the whole brigade, of the general situation here. He and his 100 homeless soldiers returned to their hometown, looking at the devastation and displacement of the people, and then compared with the stability and food and clothing in Xiaqiu, he couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship.
"Fortunately, now that I have become a citizen under the rule of Dr. Zhao, if I still stay here, I don't know if I can survive this winter without clothes and brown!"
Although it has not yet been made public, Ran Qiu and other military officials already know clearly that the doctor is collecting public opinion maps, and arranging for the Lu people from Yuncheng to sneak back to their hometowns, I am afraid that they are going to attack this Dayi!
"This is to save the people from danger!" Ran Qiu did not have the slightest psychological burden, but felt that this was a righteous act.
"Because of the doctor's plan, we have entered the heart of Yuncheng from the front, and now there is only a brigade of Yi soldiers in the city, which is under the jurisdiction of Yi Sima, it is not as good as our people, just wait for the third day of October tomorrow, and you can do anything!"
The Tiger Club also admired Ran Qiu very much, so he shared the plan with him and said: "Zhang Yizai told me before sending troops that the battle of Yuncheng must be won!" At that time, it would be good if the doctor could succeed in Lucheng, even if he couldn't, he could coerce Luhou and even Sanhuan to go west, pass through Zhongdu with the speed of a light knight, and defend Yuncheng to resist the rebels! Even if you can't win completely, you can still take the monarch to occupy the righteousness and be invincible! (To be continued.) )
