Chapter 19

Wang Shiji glanced at the three people in the tent, and found that they were all listening to him carefully, took a sip of water, and continued: "Chief Manager He also needs Wang Xuan and your group of people to go to Jiangnan first, and then according to your plan, find someone to answer, so as to open up a landing site for the army and lead them to smuggle in."

But now that you are so slow to move, he sees that the other generals have already begun to act, and some of them have even made meritorious achievements. There is also General Han in Lujiang, I heard that he is also eager to try, in case he gets the first credit to destroy Chen, then General He's hard work over the years has not been all in vain. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "Alas, so that's the case, no wonder General He called Brother Jing Yan over today and gave him a death order, asking us to cross the river within ten days, before my cousin came, we were worried about this." ”

Wang Shiji smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry too much about this matter, I discussed with General He before I came, and I will take over your affairs after crossing the river, and I will take over now." This time, I brought 10,000 elite cavalry from Qizhou, all of them were ironclad cavalry with armor and cavalry, as long as they crossed the river and dealt with the infantry of the southerners, it was to chop melons and vegetables.

So General He has agreed to my plan, after all, he has not had a good relationship with you during this time, and he is afraid that his communication with you will become a problem, so he asked the King of Jin to order me to transfer my cousin over, just to cooperate with you. I am very optimistic about you, and in ten days, you will definitely have a way to cross the river. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved, and he was about to speak, but Wang Huashi took the lead: "What do you mean, cousin?" General He handed over our group to your command? ”

Wang Shiji waved his hand: "This is not enough, Wang Jingyan was ordered by the emperor, in fact, he does not belong to any army, even General He can't control him, he can only do things in the supply of military food, urging you to set off quickly." Now, hehe, it's just that it's my cousin who connects with you. When the time comes, our brothers will work together and work together to achieve success. ”

Wang Huaqiang had expected this transaction between Wang Shiji and He Ruobi, and sneered twice in his heart, presumably after Wang Shiji crossed the river, he got the first merit to cross the river, and his main task was no longer to capture Jiankang, but to block Han Baohu's march route and ensure He Ruobi's country-breaking achievements.

Relying only on the more than 10,000 cavalry under Wang Shiji, it is impossible to attack the city, but it is always not a problem to block in front of Han Baohu and drag him for four or five days, because it is impossible for Han Baohu's army to take the initiative to attack Wang Shiji, who is also a Sui army.

Wang Huaqiang was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside the door, and Wang Xuan's magnetic voice penetrated Wang Huaqiang's ears: "Get out of the way, this is my barracks, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Shiji got up and walked out, Wang Huaqiang also followed out of the account, only to see that the black bear-like guard under Wang Shiji was standing in front of Wang Xuan, and the figure as wide as the door panel directly made Wang Huaqiang only hear Wang Xuan's voice when he first went out, but he couldn't see his people.

Wang Shiji shouted at the guard: "The emperor is filial, how can he be so rude to General Wang!" Don't quit yet! ”

The guard, who was called the emperor's filial piety, saw Wang Shiji, bowed his head and saluted and retreated, Wang Xu's angry face suddenly met Wang Huaqiang's eyes, and standing side by side with him was his third brother Wang Huawei.

Wang Shiji laughed and bowed: "General Wang, my subordinates don't know the number of courtesies, and they are offended, please don't take it to heart." ”

Wang Xuan snorted coldly: "The general's position is much higher than that of the last general, how dare the last general blame General Wang?" It's just that this is the camp of the last general, and the last general can't enter or leave his own camp, and the general's tiger power really makes the last general admire. ”

Wang Shiji's face did not change, and said with a smile: "General Wang, it is really because I discussed with a few cousins about the military aircraft, which is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and I must not let the enemy army listen to it carefully, so the precautionary measures are stricter."

My subordinates don't know you, you are not allowed to enter or leave under the military order of this general, if you are offended, please bear with me a little more, and I will definitely serve you wine and accompany you another day. ”

Wang Shiji's words took the commanding heights of a military secret, Wang Xuan didn't want to say anything more, after glancing at Wang Huaqiang, he walked directly into the tent, Wang Shiji gave the same order to those guards, and also turned around and entered the tent, Wang Huawei took the initiative to stand at the door of the tent as a guard, and Wang Huashi and Wang Huaqiang returned to the tent.

Wang Xuan and Wang Shiji have already sat cross-legged, in this era, Hu Bed (Mazha in later generations) is still the exclusive property of the generals, and the Wang brothers are not qualified enough for this level, so everyone can only sit on the ground here, but fortunately, there are blankets here, and two braziers are piled up, and they don't feel cold when they sit on the ground.

Wang Shiji glanced at Wang Huaqiang, turned to Wang Xuan and said: "Jing Yan, I won't beat around the bush, I have already told Hua Qiang just now, General He has an order, and I will be responsible for your response task, which means that I am the first batch of troops you need to connect, and General He's army will not bother you later."

I'm here today to make an appointment with you on the location and details of the joint. General He's crossing the river within ten days is a military order, and it must be carried out, so let's see if there are any difficulties. ”

Wang Xuan said coldly: "General Wang, the last general remembers that you should be the head of the march in Qizhou, why did you appear here this time?" You took the army to leave the defense area like this, does the emperor know? ”

Wang Shiji took out an official document stamped with a red seal from his bosom and handed it to Wang Xuan: "This is the official document of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition, the generalissimo of the Eighth Route Army, and the special permission to transfer my Wang Shiji and his 10,000 iron cavalry to aid He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou.

You can see clearly, the emperor is now thousands of miles away, and before the expedition, he gave the king of Jin full power to command all the armies, including your general Wang, and General He can't control you, but His Royal Highness the king of Jin can still give orders to you. ”

Wang Xuan took the official document, looked at it carefully, passed it to Wang Huaqiang, raised his head and said to Wang Shiji: "In this case, why didn't General Wang set up a Chinese military account and order in public, but to make it so mysterious?" ”

Wang Shiji put away his smile and said: "General Wang, you also know that your mission is to smuggle in first, contact Neiying in Jiangnan, open up a landing ground for the army to cross the river, and then lead the army to attack the city as a guide, can this kind of thing be clearly said in the Chinese army's tent?" Aren't you afraid of having a spy of the Chen Dynasty? ”

Wang Xuan's face changed: "How do you know about our mission?" ”

Wang Shiji laughed: "If General Ben didn't even know this, would he still take the initiative to come to you?" So as I said earlier, there is no need to beat around the bush, and everyone should show some sincerity.

I didn't give an order to the general of the Chinese military tent today, on the one hand, to prevent spies, and on the other hand, I also want to show some sincerity. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart sank, and he secretly sighed that this Wang Shiji has a good means, Wang Xuan has the stinky and high of the literati, and he eats soft and not hard, if you praise him, he will be very useful, and many things that are not related to principles will be inherited, on the contrary, if you don't give him face, then he will fight with you to the end, not giving an inch.

Wang Shiji's understatement of a few words not only gave Wang Xuan enough face, but also pointed out the purpose of his trip, compared with He Ruobi, who withheld military rations, supplied himself with pig feed, and called himself around, Wang Shiji, who was of a similar status, was so humble and polite, which would definitely make Wang Xuan very useful.

Sure enough, Wang Xuan's ice face melted suddenly, and he laughed: "General Wang, they are all working for the imperial court, don't worry about these details, since the appointment of the King of Jin is here, you are willing to come to us directly, presumably with the permission of General Manager He." Say, what do you want us to do? ”

Wang Shiji slapped his thigh: "Happy, Brother Jing Yan really deserves to be a general, his bearing is extraordinary, this time I came to help you take revenge on the Chen Dynasty, I only hate that my iron horse did not have wings, and it can't fly this big river, so I still need my brother to cross the river first and meet our army, this location, where do you think it is more appropriate?" ”
