Chapter 196: Becoming a Township!
Fan Jia stepped on a point on the map and said, "The kid thinks that we should attack here!" ”
Zhong Xingyin also straightened up and looked, and found that the place was just north of the lower palace.
It's called Chengxiang!
He knew it in his heart, sat back, and chuckled: "Nephew, I know that you have a grudge against the Zhao family's concubine, but at this moment, you need to be cautious, and you can't just act on your own will." ”
Fan Jia soothed his breath and arched his hand: "Uncle Zhongxing, the kid is not arrogant, let alone trying to repay personal grievances, but if he wants to kill the Zhao family, he will become a village." ”
Zhong Xingyin disagreed: "I heard that among the sons of the Zhao family, the concubine is the most talented, Chengxiang is not only higher terrain, the wall has been reinforced, and the armor is full, the spear is excellent, and the food and clothing are rich, there is no doubt that the strongest people in the lower palace townships, why should we give up the near and seek the far, and give up the weak and attack the strong." ”
After Fan Jia pondered for a while, he explained the reasons one by one.
"First, if Fan and Bank of China work together to attack Zhao, if the Zhao family wants to survive, it is definitely not advisable to trap the lower palace, so they can only choose to break through, and the target, the kid guesses, must be Dong Anyu's long-term Jinyang City. Chengxiang is located in the north of the lower palace, which is the only way to Jinyang, once we are cut off in advance, there is no way to escape if you want to! ”
"Second, as the Bank of China said, many of the Zhao family's townships are intertwined with the lower palace, and they have knocked out the most difficult township among them, which can make the rest of the townships frightened and greatly frustrate the arrogance of Zhao Wuxian and the Zhao family."
"Third, Chengxiang porcelain is a major source of wealth for the Zhao family, and if the porcelain craftsmen can be attacked or plundered, it will be extremely beneficial to Fan and the Bank of China."
After hearing this, Zhong Xingyin felt that it was indeed reasonable, and he was also kind and favoring attacking Chengxiang, but he remembered something.
He said hesitantly: "My nephew talked about Jinyang. But I remembered a person, Dong Anyu, this person's strategy. My father, Zhongxing Muzi, was quite appreciative when he was there, and he was the mastermind of Zhao Ying. This time, Zhao Ying's violent death. Isn't it a deliberate ruse he has set up for us? The Jin State has a decree, the first chaos is dead, will Zhao Ying's death be fake, taking advantage of Fan Bo's absence, is it true that Fan and the Bank of China are the first chaos? When the time comes, you will be able to occupy the name, and invite the monarch, Zhi, Wei, and Han to attack us together! ”
As soon as he thought of this, Zhong Xingyin hesitated a little, although the soldiers of his Zhongxing clan were good at fighting. But it can't withstand the joint siege of more than 10,000 people and the four secretaries, and this operation cannot be reckless.
However, his son Zhongxing Heiqiu had an idea, he attended and said: "Father, as long as this attack on Chengxiang does not use the soldiers of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, he will not be the first to rebel." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Father, have you forgotten that in the Luliang Mountains north of Xinjiang, there is not still a partial division. Nominally, they don't belong to my Zhongxing clan, but they can listen to their father's dispatch, so why not use them? ”
There are a few cases in the middle of the bank. got up and said: "Wonderful, my son is smart, but I forgot about them, I didn't expect that an unintentional move by my ancestor Muzi can come in handy today." If the Zhao clan can't save each other, the city is suspicious, and the small sect and retainers are scattered, they can follow with their soldiers and destroy them. If this is really a trap for Zhao Ying and Dong Anyu. The one who enters the urn has nothing to do with us. Not enough to reach the first rebel. ”
Fan Jia was a little confused when he heard this, and asked, "Uncle Zhongxing." What does this mean? ”
Zhong Xingyin smiled mysteriously: "Tomorrow my nephew will know, someone is coming!" Send a messenger into the mountains and tell the fox babies that if their women and children want to survive this winter, they will come to me immediately! ”
……
On the sixth day of Zhao Ying's fainting, the Zhao family went to the palace, Zhao Wuxian, Dong Anyu, and Post Wuzheng also gathered in front of the map to discuss things.
"My father's physical signs are getting better day by day, and he said in his dream last night, thinking that he would wake up and recover, but who knows that he fell asleep again...... However, the doctor said that this is good news and a sign that he will wake up. ”
Zhao Wuxian sighed, it was a good thing that Zhao Ying's body had improved, but the situation faced by the Zhao family was not optimistic, at this moment, they were as weak as Zhao Ying.
The cheap brothers Zhongxin and Shuqi also learned about this, and they first asked to go back to the palace to visit, but Dong Anyu intervened to stop them.
"At this extraordinary moment, all the gentlemen should stick to the city, and the various towns around the lower palace are dependent on each other with the lower palace, if there is something, you can also show the trend of turning corners, please go back, if the lord wakes up, he will notify the two gentlemen as soon as possible."
Shu Qi and Zhong Xin were stopped in the middle of the road and had to shrink back.
They wrote to Dong Anyu and complained that it was understandable for Bolu, as the eldest brother, to stay by his father's side to take care of him, but Zhao Wuxian, a young son and concubine, shouldn't he also stay in Lingyi?
Moreover, the two of them still didn't believe that Zhao Ying was going to wake up, and secretly passed on the news to their mother's family, the Zhi family, and the Wei family, asking them to help, so that the situation was a little more complicated.
While Zhao Wuxian had a headache for these two pig teammates, he also informed Dong Anyu and Post Wuzheng of his preparations in advance.
"The situation is delicate, it must be prepared, the Zhao family has no leader, and only half of the orders can be conveyed, and Handan and other small sects are unreliable. If the war breaks out, I am afraid that the lower palace will not be able to hold it for a long time, and it is still necessary to plan to go north to Jinyang. ”
Dong An bowed his head, thinking that the strategy of the prince to manage Jinyang as the center of the Zhao family in the future and the last place to retreat was very clear.
He is very confident in this.
"The old man has been operating in Jinyang for two years, although he doesn't dare to claim to be impregnable, but it is enough for the Zhao family to support him for several years, of course, I just hope that the situation does not have to be eroded to that extent."
Yu Wuzheng pointed to the map and said: "The Zhao clan's territory is dotted, but there are not many around the lower palace, so there is only one division of available soldiers. Once the war starts, it will be a comprehensive disadvantage here, and if you want to go north to Gaowolf, Jinyang and other places, you must pass through this road. ”
This family Sima, who was intimately called "Ziliang" by Zhao Ying and known as Bole, used his calloused big hand to point heavily on a path north of the lower palace, which was the area of Chengxiang and Shanyang Pavilion that Dong An passed through when he went south.
"Therefore, there must be no mistakes in Chengxiang."
"But the lower palace can't divide the troops at this time, at most send a soldier to the surrounding towns. Because once dispersed, it is easy to be broken by each one, and the people of one division are united in the lower palace, even if they are surrounded, Wuzheng is sure to escort the lord, the gentleman and the lady. There are also ranking doctors who break through. ”
Zhao Wuxian pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine, if my father hasn't woken up tomorrow, I'll go back to Chengxiang first." Arrange your preparations and clear the road. In case something unexpected happens. ”
What they are discussing at this time is to anticipate the enemy first, and to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
And the reason why Zhao Wuxian felt that he should go back to Chengxiang was because it was the same as the Zhao family's lack of Zhao Ying, so the turnover up and down was not effective. Chengxiang lacks him, although there are plans for overseas Chinese, sheep tongue Rong and other central coordination, but there will also be panic.
Besides. He still has a lot of industry and hard work still there: his most trusted two hundred teams are all in Chengxiang, if there is any loss or omission, it is a pity; The most important economic pillar of the group, the carpenters, casters, farmers, potters, and more than a dozen mathematics students of the Jiqiao School, are the capital of the future.
In the end, although there is a sister and a spirit son in the lower palace, there is still a woman who is devoted to him in the Chengxiang Township Temple, these days. I guess I couldn't sleep at night because I was worried.
If a great war breaks out, the process of transfer will inevitably be hasty and unpredictable, and these things will fall like people. Zhao Wuxian will be distressed.
Therefore, I have to go back and arrange it in person, and I will be back overnight. As for the lower palace, it can be regarded as a whirlpool in the center of the storm, and it is calm for the time being.
's father, Zhao Ying, is taken care of by Bian Que, Lingzi, and Ji Ying; Dong Anyu and Yu Wuzheng began to lean towards themselves, Yin Duo and Fu Su also slowly changed their positions, and the eldest brother Bolu was no longer a threat. What's more, there is also the wise Zhang Mengtan, and Zhao Guangde, who has become more and more reliable, to help watch.
And do it. There's also a side benefit.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Wuxian's mouth and said, "Dong Zi can tell me that my middle brother and uncle have also returned to their hometown." They should stay in the territory and wait for the news of their father's wake-up! ”
……
On the evening of the 26th day of the ninth month of the summer calendar.
One was dressed in a dark coat. A lean middle-aged man with a thick beard walked out of the palace of the Nakayo clan.
Although he specially wore Huaxia clothes today, in the city, those doctors in deep clothes and wide sleeves still looked at him with disdain and contempt.
Because of this person's identity, he is the leader of the Lirong bandits in Luliang Mountain, named Fox Baby.
When he was in Yizhong, the fox babies whose family members were detained by the Bank of China could only grovel and make promises to the Bank of China's black humerus with a smiling face. But he secretly thought in his heart, these people may have forgotten that the ancestor of his fox baby also stood in the court of the Jin Kingdom, and his status was higher and more noble than that of everyone present!
Compared with his ancestors, the ancestor of the Zhongxing clan, Zhongxing Lin's father, was just an inconspicuous small role at that time.
But now he is at the mercy of others.
After leaving the city, the fox baby took the retinue also dressed as a Jin person, and drove the ox cart towards the north, which was the remnant of Luliang Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles from north to south.
The road becomes narrower and narrower, and the mountain gradually becomes higher. After crossing a pass, the fox baby, who had changed into a fur coat, wrapped around an animal skin skirt, wore a scarf, draped his hair, and had a pheasant feather on his head, and had recovered his Rong people's dress after standing on the car and roaring, a continuous and orderly response sounded all around.
From behind the forests and rocks, dozens of Huarong mixed and old-dressed men suddenly came out. They were armed with a small number of spears, while the rest were sharpened branches and stones tied with straw ropes. If Yu Xi under Zhao Wuxian was here, he would find that this was not the thieves who were repelled by him that day?
The big and small leaders of the robbers came over one after another, grabbed the ox cart of the fox baby, and raised their heads and asked.
"Fox, what is the purpose of Uncle Zhongxing's summoning of us this time?"
"Are you going to give us corn? Since we were attached to the Zhongxing clan for more than ten years, it is not easy to cultivate in the mountains, and the hunting is impermanent, and the Zhongxing clan does not allow us to be savages, and refuses to let us migrate, even to go out and plunder. It is said that the supply of corn is getting less and less every year, and this cold winter, there is no clothing and no brown, and I don't know how many old and young women and children will starve to death......"
"yes, I don't know what they're going to do!"
Unlike the elite soldiers of the Zhongxing clan who polished rice in Dunton, these Huarong mixed robbers did not have a good time in the mountains, and they could eat bean leaf weed soup, which was considered good.
The fox baby snorted coldly and said, "What do you want?" It's not that we want to do some dirty work that is inconvenient for doctors to do! ”
"What's it this time again?"
"The Zhongxing clan wants me to gather a group of thieves in the mountains, and tomorrow lead everyone to attack the rich Xiaoyi of the Zhao clan and become a township!" (To be continued)
