Chapter 196: Flowers in the Dark
At this moment, in Qichun City, in the rain, Wang Shen looked back, but saw that the hurried noise on the faces of those cavalry was the scouts who were on guard in various important places outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was shocked in his heart, and immediately had a messy thought: Could it be that there is something wrong in Huangzhou? Maybe God is too proud to see Wang and wants to give me a reversal?
In later films, such a plot usually appears. The characters inside see that the great work is about to be completed, and when they laugh out loud, suddenly, an even greater danger appears.
That's not right...... Such a plot will only appear in the supporting characters and antagonists, and Lao Tzu is the protagonist today!
Besides, the thief army on the Anlu side is cowering in the station, and they are busy grabbing land and starting infighting, how can they suddenly kill Huangzhou?
Even if they kill it, will it be possible to fly here to rescue Kong Yanzhou?
"The envoy is here, what's the matter?" Guards shouted.
Several scouts rushed up, jumped from their saddles, fell to one knee drenched in water, and held a letter wrapped in lotus leaves above their heads.
Seeing that there were no chicken feathers on the letter, indicating that it was not an emergency military situation, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, took the letter, and asked, "What is this?" ”
The scout replied: "Yu military envoy, this is a warrant from Li Heng and Li Xianggong, the newly dispatched envoy of Jianghan and Ezhou Zhulu and Zhixiangyang sent by the imperial court. ”
"Li Heng, who is Li Heng?" Hearing that such a top boss suddenly came out, Wang Shen was a little inexplicable.
The so-called pacification envoys, simply put, are the military and political chiefs of Xiangyang Prefecture and Jianghan Prefecture, who control all the soldiers and horses in Jingchu, and are quite capable of being the commander of the provincial military district with the rank of major general in later generations, and is also a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee. In wartime, he was also in charge of local civil affairs, similar to the princes of Jianjie. Compared with the subordinates, Wang Shen, the defense envoy, is also a little older than the Minister of the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department in later generations, and the status of the two is very different.
An umbrella was held above Wang Shen's head.
Wang Shen opened the letter and looked at it carefully, and at this glance, his brows furrowed, and in the end it was twisted into a ball, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes.
Hu Yantong next to him couldn't help but ask: "Military envoy, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Shen's brows furrowed, and he suddenly laughed: "It turns out that Li Yanping and Zhang Xiangnai are colleagues in the Privy Council, this time we have a holy decree to appease Jing Chu, and we will have a boss soon." Coincidentally, Zhang Xiang also came with him. ”
"Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan are also here?" Hu Yantong knew the relationship between Wang Shen and Zhang Jun, and at the beginning, everyone in Jinling was really Wang Daosi was Zhang Xianggong's disciple, but later he betrayed the door and joined Du Chong's command. Now, the old master has arrived, and he doesn't know what it will be like.
Thinking of this, Hu Yantong couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What are you laughing at, it's useless to talk too much about the past. Zhang Xianggong received the holy decree this time and passed through Shaanxi, which can be regarded as having to taste what he wants. Almost the entire territory of Shaanxi has fallen, the morale of the people is depressed, and such a character is also needed to guard it, I haven't seen Zhang Xiang for more than a year, and I don't know if the old man's demeanor is still there? Wang Shen smiled: "I haven't seen this Li Heng and Li Yanping, and I don't know what it looks like." However, his handwriting is very good, and his words are like his person, and he must also be an elegant person. ”
After saying that, he threw the letter in his hand into the stagnant water and said, "Let's go, go see Kong Yanzhou, and quickly go to Yue Yun to pass on my orders, and tell them to settle the battle as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the letter was immersed in the water, it was immediately penetrated, and when it was washed by the water, it was torn to pieces in an instant.
Jumping on the war horse, the torrential rain hit the face, like arrows and stones, and the fight hurts.
Wang Shen sneered in his heart: What Li Heng, hehe, but I can't recognize you, I want to let He and Kong Yanzhou stop fighting, it's really a fool's dream.
It turned out that what Li Heng wrote in the letter just now was that he had received a holy decree to pass through the Jinghu area, pacify the thieves, and raise troops to the Northern Expedition to collect the lost land in the six counties of Xiangyang. Kong Yanzhou has already pleaded for peace and returned to the Great Song Dynasty. Zhang Jun and Zhang Xianggong, who came to Jingchu with him, had already agreed to Kong Yanzhou's recruitment.
In this way, Kong Yanzhou and Wang Shen's Sizhou army were under Li Heng's control and became his direct subordinate troops, which were used to pacify Anlu Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng's thief army and recover the country in the future.
Wang Shen finally managed to defend one side, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and he was indescribably free. Now a top boss suddenly appeared, and he was naturally angry and annoyed in his heart.
Moreover, he and Kong Yanzhou have been fighting a real fire in the past two months, and the two sides have formed a deep blood feud and will never die. Now, if the army is stopped and the fight is not fought, will so many soldiers and people not die in vain?
Moreover, with the old treacherous slippery of the hole thief, who knows how he will retaliate against me Wang Shen in the future?
The gentleman complained straightly, how could he let the story of the farmer and the snake repeat itself.
The most troublesome thing is that Zhang Jun has arrived. The supreme leader of the Great Song army had extremely high prestige and great power. And he used to pretend to be his doorman, and later joined Du Chong's door, which can be said to be a slap in the face of him. With the temperament of the ancients, Zhang Deyuan will inevitably achieve something for himself. If you don't clean up my Wang Shen, where will his prestige remain?
If I were Zhang Deyuan, maybe I would contact the military power of my Sizhou Army and hand over Qi and Huang Prefecture to Kong Yanzhou.
At that time, there was really no end.
The letter also said that Li and Zhang Jun were about to arrive in Qichun, and according to the time calculation, they would enter the Sizhou military camp today.
Time is pressing, and Kong Yanzhou must be completely eliminated before these two people.
If it drags on, the situation will be dire.
Wang Shen rode his horse towards Kong Yanzhou, and shouted to the soldiers on the street: "Everyone come with me and attack Kong Yanzhou." Don't clean the battlefield, don't clean the battlefield! ”
There were more and more people, and soon, Wang Shen was followed by a crowd of people.
The rain was pouring down, thousands of feet were stepping on the water, and white flowers were blooming.
After a while, he rushed to Kong Yanzhou, but saw soldiers everywhere. They were carrying the crashing car, knocking down the walls of each courtyard and house one by one to make way for the siege of the army.
There was a fierce shouting and killing sound from the depths of the house, and it was covered by the thunder that shook the sky.
In the flickering lightning, there were surging Sizhou soldiers everywhere with their bright weapons and iron armor. The structure of the troops has been disrupted, there are back troops, there are front armies, there are enemy breaking armies, and there are vanguard troops, and everyone is wrapped up and rushing forward. Two or three thousand people were squeezed in at once, and it was difficult for Kong Yanzhou to fly with his wings.
With a little peace of mind, Wang Shen jumped off the horse, took Feng Changqing's handover of the horse chopping knife, and shouted to Wu Xianxian, who had just squeezed over: "Wu Xianxian, when did you come?" ”
Wu Xianxian: "The military envoy and the last general also just knew that this was the line of the old thief Kong, so he hurried over. ”
"How's it going?"
Wu Xianxian: "General Yue Yingxiang is fighting with the Kong thieves, and he has been fighting for half an hour. ”
Wang Shen said angrily: "It's been half an hour, why haven't you taken down the head of the hole thief, what is Yue Yun doing to eat, is he a snail?" ”
Seeing his face full of iron, everyone was worried in their hearts.
Wu Xianxian was full of doubts: "Military envoy, the Confucian thieves have been surrounded, and sooner or later they will die, so there is no need to rush." ”
"Shut up, I asked you, why can't you take Kong Yanzhou?" Wang Shen asked.
Wu Xianxian: "The Confucian thieves still have more than 100 horses on hand, most of which are elite tooth soldiers. Those thieves are all warriors, and they have rules and regulations when they start fighting. Now they occupy a corner tower, and they have a good location, but they gnaw at it for a while. Military envoy, this rain is very heavy, the fire attack is not successful, and you can't use a bow and crossbow, but it is difficult to do. The soldiers could only move forward inch by inch, and the casualties were not small. Military envoys, thieves and dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, and they can't be in a hurry. ”
Wang Shen calmed down a little at this time: "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
was about to leave, when suddenly, someone on the other end pushed away the crowd and shouted: "Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong, go find Lang Zhong!" Third sister, third sister, don't be afraid, there is a big brother, third sister, third sister...... Woo, it's the eldest brother who is useless, he can't protect you, my brother should be damned! ”
The voice was so familiar, and when I looked back, it was Kong Xian who was holding a little girl with a water on his face.
His face was full of sorrow, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was rain or tears.
The little girl looked about nine or ten years old, staring blankly ahead, but without any light.
Wang Shen hurriedly shouted: "Boyuan, what's the matter, who is this little lady, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Seeing him, Kong Xian grabbed his arm and kept shaking: "Daosi, Daosi, this is my third sister, she is injured, go and invite Langzhong!" ”
"It's hurt, it's not like it!" Wang Shen looked at it intently, and the little girl's appearance was purely scared and stupid. This is also normal, in this battlefield full of dead bodies and flesh and blood, not to mention a child, even an adult, it is estimated that he is scared enough.
It's not a big deal, just find a clean place to change your clothes, take a hot shower, and get some sleep.
The military situation was urgent, and Wang Shen didn't have time to rub shoulders with Kong Xian, and said: "Don't worry, Boyuan, there should be nothing wrong with the sister." Then he turned back and shouted to one of the soldiers, "Medic, take a look." ”
Although the price paid by Wang Shen in this siege was not small, it gradually regularized the troops through this battle. The units are fully armed, and the coordination between the various armies is also gradually visible. Considering that there were many wounded soldiers in the army, Wang Shen recruited and transferred some literate soldiers to the army, and handed them over to Langzhong for short-term training, learned basic hemostasis and bandaging techniques, and allocated a medical soldier in each army according to the ratio of 100 to 1.
These medics are usually with the troops, and they are responsible for treating and treating wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
Their attire was also different from that of ordinary soldiers, all wearing yellow shirts and carrying a black leather bag with first-aid medicine on their backs.
Then he said: "Boyuan, you first find a place to rest, and then I will look for you." ”
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly a crisp female voice shouted, "General Wang, slow down." ”
Wang Shen looked back and saw a white slender figure.
Just like a white lotus flower that has just bloomed, it is so eye-catching in the midst of a black oppressive soldier, and it is so beautiful that it is incomprehensibly beautiful.
"You are?"
The little girl was slightly blessed: "Concubine Kong Lin has seen the military envoy, and she finally waited for the general." ”
There was surprise and shyness in his eyes, and there was a hint of pride in it: I, Kong Lin's future husband, is really such a big man who commands thousands of troops, and he finally came to save me!
