Chapter 272: Opportunity

Yes, there is no point in catching up at all now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Yang Mi was able to do such a great career in history, he was definitely not a fool to leave his name in the annals of history. Naturally, he will not run away desperately on horseback, and the most likely thing is to hide in the homes of ordinary people.

Dingzhou was the hardest hit area of the Manichaean Rebellion, and there were many believers. At its worst, almost everyone entered the law. Zhong Xiang raised his arms and shouted, and millions responded.

Just like this, Zhong Xiang dared to fight guerrilla warfare with Wang Shen, and what was needed for the travelogue war was a deep mass foundation.

The reason why Li Cheng was beaten so embarrassed by Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi in Hunan was because the whole of Hunan was the eyes and ears of Manichaeism. Even if Li Tianwang is a fierce dragon crossing the river, he can only be trapped in the city as a deaf and blind man. In the end, Li Cheng could only turn into a massacre and kill the people in the Dongting Lake area, hoping to use this bloody means to completely destroy the war potential and popular base of Manichaeism.

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Shen suddenly burst out laughing.

One of the guards asked curiously, "Why is the envoy laughing?" ”

Wang Shen said: "Although I lost the treasure knife today, I grabbed Yang Mi's fox tail, but I made it when I said it." You immediately go back to Xingyuan and tell Niu Gao and Wei Hui that Mrs. Yang is in Dingzhou, and they can set off to join Brother Yi and dig out the lair of the Mani demon for Lao Tzu! ”

Yes, on the surface of the Hunan battle situation, the Sizhou Army has an absolute advantage, especially after the training of the Mandarin Duck Formation, it can be described as devastating at the tactical level. However, this does not solve the problem. I'm afraid that time will be delayed, and there will be changes in Anlu's hometown, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, Shang Yuan, and pseudo-Qi in Xiangyang are Wang Shen's most vicious enemies.

To solve the problem in the shortest possible time, you have to rely on Niu Gao and Wei Hui to find out where Zhong Xiang's pseudo-court is and use decapitation tactics.

"Yes, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again." Yan Yuemeng didn't understand this, and urged repeatedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, come here, and give him another horse to change." ”

It is only ten miles from here to Dingzhou, and you can reach it while talking.

In front of him was a towering city, dark and swarthy. The city is also called Changde in modern times, but it is a third-tier city. However, in this era, it is the leading big city in Hunan, relying on the water transportation of Dongting Lake, the scale even exceeds Tanzhou, that is, the Hunan Provincial Governor of Changsha in later generations, no wonder the former Dingzhou Governor Wen Mingxuan and later led troops into the city Li Cheng was able to defend the city as impregnable.

When I arrived at the gate of the city, I identified myself, and handed over the diploma of customs defense, and the drawbridge was put down, and a few old soldiers greeted me, saying that I had heard that the military envoy was coming, and Li Tianwang was waiting for the military envoy in the line, please!

Lead the way ahead.

Yan Yumeng, who was beside Wang Shen, suddenly sneered and said, "Li Cheng is so big that he refused to go out of the city to greet him. I don't know anything about the state, and I don't understand the basic etiquette. ”

Hearing him say this, the cavalry led by Wang Shen were all angry.

Yes, the current Wang Shen is similar to a prince, and Li Cheng is just a small catcher, the identities of the two are very different, why should he take it in front of us.

Yan Yuemeng whispered to Wang Shen again: "Military envoy, my subordinates heard that this Li Cheng looks open-minded and bold on the surface, but in fact he is a scheming and ruthless person, and he must be guarded against. ”

Wang Shen just smiled on the surface: "I am friends with the Heavenly King, I had to call him big brother when I saw him, how much do you want, so as not to damage the relationship between the two families." ”

Having said that, there was a sigh in my heart, and I secretly raised my vigilance. Yes, he got Du Chong's secret order, telling him to kill Li Cheng and avenge the annihilation of the clan. However, how could Wang Shen do this. As a modern person, he still can't be ruthless!

However, there are no impermeable walls in the world, and Li Cheng is doing this today...... Could it be that he is also wary of me, Wang Shen?

Anyway, I don't have to think about it so much, let's take it one step at a time!

Lan Ruo......

Suddenly, the figure of the woman appeared in front of him again, and Wang Shen's heart couldn't help beating violently: Lan Ruo, I haven't seen you for a year, are you okay?

Yan Yuemeng continued: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, so why don't military envoys wear armor? ”

Wang Shen: "No, aren't you tired of wearing such heavy armor?" If Li Tianwang saw it, he wouldn't laugh at it. "Actually, if there is really a case, against a peerless master like Li Cheng, even if he is wearing heavy armor, what is the use?

Moreover, Wang Shen felt that Li Cheng had now been beaten to the ground by Manichaeism, the Sizhou army was his only reliance, and the great enemy had not been eliminated, even if Li Boyou had bad intentions, it was impossible to attack him.

……

At this moment, in Li Cheng's line, Li Tianwang was holding a teacup and drinking silently.

Tao Zisi knelt beside him and said in a low voice: "Heavenly King, Wang Shen has already entered the city, and he will be in the city soon." This son of the wolf looks at the eagle, and this time he has to come to Hunan with Du Chong's order, and he must have bad intentions. Nowadays, Mani thieves are rampant, and now there is another evil tiger, which must be guarded against. ”

Li Cheng smiled faintly: "My little friend is full of ambition in his chest, and he can see that as long as he is given a chance to take the position, he will hold it firmly in his hands." What he wants to do in Hunan this time, in fact, everyone knows. But now is not the time to talk about these things. Public is public, private is private, first distinguish clearly. Today, I just want to talk about friendship with Wang Daosi. ”

Tao Zisi became anxious when he heard this: "Heavenly King, have you forgotten the letter that Li Xianggong wrote to you?" ”

"What?" Li Cheng asked rhetorically.

Yes, just a while ago, Li Heng's messenger came, and the letter said that Wang Shen was arrogant and lawless in Jianghan, and regarded the will of the court as nothing, and he had no heart for submission. ordered Li Cheng to wait for the opportunity to behead Wang Shen on the spot to correct the law of the country.

In the letter, Li Heng promised that once Wang Shen was taken, he would report to the official family and the imperial court to ask for merit for him, and hand over the Sizhou army and Jianghan to Li Cheng.

That's right, with Li Heng's current position and power in the court, if he really wins Wang Shen, his promise will be fulfilled. Taking the land of Jianghan and annexing the strong army of Sizhou is indeed an irresistible temptation.

Moreover, if this is done, he Li Cheng will be regarded as Li Heng's protΓ©gΓ©. With such a big backer, wealth and glory are just around the corner.

Tao Zisi said: "Fang Cai's subordinates heard that Wang Shen only brought twenty horsemen into the city. Heavenly King, the opportunity is rare. It's better to take him down, and it's better to send a bus to Li Xiang. ”

Thinking of the charming Chen Lanruo, and thinking of the part that Wang Shen had with her, Tao Zisi was enraged, his whole face became hideous, and his right hand made a downward cutting limb gesture: "Heavenly King, I have already set up a soldier in the back, just wait for your order to kill the general." ”

"Kill Wang Daosi?" Li Cheng turned his head and looked at Tao Zisi deeply: "Do you need to set up an ambush?" ”

Tao Zisi: "Yes, yes, with the martial arts of the Heavenly King, even if ten Wang Shen come, it will not be enough for you to kill." ”

"Wang Dao Siqiang is governing the army and leading the troops, but in fact, martial arts are also very ordinary." Li Cheng said lightly: "However, XX doesn't want to kill him, at least not now." ”

Tao Zisi was shocked: "Heavenly King, this is the opportunity that I have been waiting for!" Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. If you miss today, how easy is it to take him down when he returns to the army? As long as you take Wang Shen and annex his soldiers and territories, you are the first-class strong clan today, what is Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong can be counted, even Liu Guangshi and Liu Taiwei are not as good as your old man! Is it possible, you don't want to? ”

"I think, why don't I want to, but I said that now is not the time to kill Wang Shen." Li Cheng said slowly: "Kill him Wang Daosi, what will happen next?" We are not trapped in Hunan and can't get out, and Zhong Xiang, Mrs. Yang and other demon thieves are there, so we can't go to Jianghan at all. ”

"Why can't you go?" Tao Zisi couldn't help but snort: "When the time comes, the army will go to Anlu, with the support of Li Hengxianggong, who dares to say more?" ”

"No, no, no, Zisi, you think the problem is simpler." Li Cheng shook his head: "Du Chong is powerful in the court, and he is just a small catcher now." If I lose Hunan and go to Anlu, the traitor can press the charge of losing the city and land on my head at any time. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a capital crime for local officials to lose their cities and land. Although Du Chong may not be able to kill XX, it is not so easy for XX to justifiably include Jiang Han in his bag. He will definitely send someone else to preside over Jiang Han, and when the time comes, he will be in charge of the Sizhou army, and we will become traitors. When the day comes, the world is so big, where will we stay? Li Heng, behind Li Heng is nothing more than a Zhang Deyuan. Zhang Deyuan is now far away in Shaanxi, and Li Yanping can't fight Du Chong. ”

Tao Zisi: "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Cheng: "It's not that we can't go to Anlu, before we go, we have to cooperate with Wang Shen." Wang Daosi, a little friend, is still very good at fighting, maybe the Manichaean thieves were really pacified by him! When the time comes, let's enter the Jianghan to participate in the war under the pretext of pacifying Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng, and destroy Wang Shen casually, which is justified, and no one can find fault with us. Don't forget, we are no more than we were now, we are officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and everything must be done in accordance with the rules of the imperial court. ”

Tao Zisi suddenly realized, and said hatefully: "The king of heaven is reasonable, it seems that he can only let the surnamed king live a few more days." ”

Li Cheng: "Zisi, why do you always want to take Wang Daosi's head, I remember that he has no grudge against you?" ”

Seeing his smiling expression, Tao Zisi was a little weak-hearted: "Since I am serving under the command of the Heavenly King, I feel the kindness of the Heavenly King, so I naturally want to do my best to repay, and my subordinates only have the interests of the Heavenly King in their minds." ”

"Really!" Li Cheng smiled faintly again.

In fact, Tao Zisi also knows Chen Lanruo's thoughts. If Chen Lan is a woman after all, she has to find a home and change to someone else, maybe Li Chengcheng agreed. However, if it is Tao Zisi, he can't agree to it no matter what.

Just kidding, his first cavalry general and the first strategist are married, can he, the master, sleep?

As a big man, Li Cheng naturally knows how powerful he is. As for Chen Lanruo and Wang Shen's relationship between men and women and grievances, he also knows it. It is impossible to ask Chen Lanruo to marry Wang Shen, the future enemy.

However, now it is possible to use Chen Lanruo to dispel Wang Shen's vigilance, perhaps to make Wang Daosi throw himself into a rat trap.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
