Chapter 205: The Ministers and the King
Chengxiang is located on a hill, the terrain is higher, there are three roads leading to the township, the south of the mountain and the north is the yang, and the Shanyang Pavilion located in the south is only one of them. On the other two roads to the north, Zhao Wuxian also placed a pavilion in each, but the pavilion officials and pavilion pawns of these two pavilions were not as lucky as Cheng Xuan.
The two groups of more than 500 "robbers" each came over in the evening, and although the pavilion guards discovered in advance, they were killed before they had time to ventilate the mountain and rush to the mountain.
The "robbers" left some of the men to guard the pavilion and continued their march towards the gentle slope of the mountain, and by this time it was already dark.
From ancient times to the present, night fighting is not an easy thing, I don't know why, many people can't see clearly in front of them at night, called "blindfolded". Moreover, the night is dark and panicked, the soldiers are easily frightened, if the training is insufficient, there will be chaos if there is a strange movement, and it is even more common to fall behind.
The real bandits, on the other hand, are just used to fill the ravines and attract attention, so you don't need to pay so much attention to them. If you can't see clearly, you can pull the corners of your clothes that you can see clearly, and even tie them directly to a rope, and when the war starts, they will naturally light up the lights.
However, Fan and Xing are the main attacking forces, so the soldiers must not be blindfolded, and must become reliable combat force, so the soldiers of each brigade are carefully selected.
There were a hundred archers, a hundred armor soldiers, and eight hundred soldiers.
Half an hour later, the two brigades of "robbers" converged halfway up the mountain, and from here to the township, it was less than two miles.
The guide, who had also come to the surrounding area for a few months, came over and said, "Fanzi, the front is a township." ”
Fan Jiali looked out from the chariot, and could already vaguely see a black line like a rural wall, as long as he broke through the low wall, he could destroy everything that Zhao Wuxian had worked so hard to manage!
Along the way, Fan Jia took a good look at Zhao Wuxian's lair.
Chengxiang is indeed very barren, and the gentle slopes of the roadside are overgrown with shrubs, wolfberries, and thorns. But the fields are neatly managed, connected by newly dug ditches with clear flowing streams.
The summer millet planted months ago was already full of ears and rustled in the night wind. After only a few days, you can harvest and put it into the warehouse. Those mysterious wooden instruments that resemble long dragons are the waterwheels that are passed on, set between the acres of fields and the streams. Their construction is like the stone mill stolen by Fan Jia, but it is more than twice as complicated.
Therefore, Fan Jia couldn't help but be a little surprised, how many clever and strange things this Zhao Wuxian hid. I don't know what the process of making porcelain is?
The reason why Fan Jia made an appointment with the black humerus and personally commanded the soldiers to come was not only to obtain the secret recipe for porcelain that was dozens of times more profitable, but also because he had received a letter from his grandfather Fan Ying from Chaoge.
There are many things above, and his instructions to Fan Jia are to ask him to cooperate with Xing's actions. If you can find out if Zhao Ying is really dead and make the Zhao family messy, it would be the best, and grandfather. In the Chaoge and Handan areas, there seem to be other actions.
Therefore, Fan Jiacai made a big move, hoping to break through Chengxiang with an absolute advantage. Once this township is occupied, the path of the lower palace to the eldest son in the north, Gao Wolf, and Jinyang will be blocked, and the brigade will have to make a detour, and the Zhao family will definitely panic.
If you don't save the palace tonight, you won't be able to protect your hometown, and if you come to the rescue, Fan and Xing also have a backhand. Once the lower palace is empty, their family Sima will naturally lead a surprise attack. In one fell swoop, it is not impossible.
Since the Battle of Chengpu, abroad, the Jin State has served as the leader of the Zhuxia Alliance. It's still very decent. The battle oath with the princes barely maintained the ritual of the ancient military ceremony: the battle was solemn and upright, and the emperor was not insulted.
However, the competition between domestic ministers and doctors is contrary to foreign wars, and it is notoriously unruly.
From Quwo to Jin more than a hundred years ago. When Jin Xiangong and Xun Xi designed to lure Huan and Zhuang Qungongzi to a city, let them kill each other first, and then start the clan annihilation in one fell swoop. The domestic political struggle has repeatedly crossed the line, with raids, assassinations, exterminations, women's houses, and murder of kings, and conspiracies and tricks emerge one after another.
As long as there is victory, no one dares to criticize. Even if the historian wrote "Zhao Dun killed his king", it was only sealed in the dust in the treasury, and it was not re-examined until after the death of "Summer Sun".
Because, most of the foreign wars are to protect the face of the alliance leaders of the Jin Kingdom, while the civil war is for the territory and power at your fingertips! As long as the interests are sufficient, the Qing clan can put down the dignity and noble character of a gentleman and scatter like a savage in the market.
Therefore, within the Jin Kingdom's feudal territory, there is no righteous war!
Therefore, for pretending to be a thief tonight, only Yu Rang will feel a little awkward. But Fan Jiahe did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, in the battle of the Qing clan, they were educated to do whatever it took to do so.
Now, everything is going well, no one is left behind, and you only need to walk for two more moments on the main road in the back mountain to reach the township.
Their original plan was to let the 500 robbers attack at the front gate first, attracting the soldiers and countrymen of Chengxiang. The two clansmen of Fan and Xing directly carried ladders and other rudimentary equipment to launch a sneak attack from the back door.
If you can follow the plan made by this Xingyin in advance, it will be easy to break through Chengxiang!
But at this moment, Fan Jia heard that on the road in front of the mountain, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, as well as the neighing of horses, which was lively for a while.
He and Xing looked at each other, and the team stopped and listened.
After a while, the shouting of killing slowly subsided.
"There must be something wrong with the fox baby's road, is it possible, is this really a trick set up by Dong Anyu of the Zhao family? In Chengxiang, there is already an ambush waiting for us? ”
Xing Hei Hu was a little cautious, Fan Jia had been in the Jiang City with Zhao Wuxian and Zigong's "belly tricks", and subconsciously felt that the other party was scheming, so he was also a little surprised.
The two of them hesitated, so they simply let the soldiers rest on the spot for a while, and gathered the commanders to discuss whether to advance or retreat cautiously.
In fact, they did not have the certainty of destroying the Zhao clan in one fell swoop, but only obeyed Fan Ying's orders, and tried their best to make the Zhao clan chaotic for a while without openly starting a war, so as to cooperate with Fan Ying's plan in Dongyang.
At that moment, a dark shadow climbed from the cliff of the mountain stream and leaped down like a falcon. Startled, the Fan and Xingjia soldiers who were waiting on the side drew their swords and drew their swords, and the soldiers who were sitting on the ground to rest also stood up in a large area, although they were vigilant, they were not flustered.
It can be seen that its elite level is no less than that of Zhao's tiger.
"Don't do it, I'm a retainer of the Fan family, and I have something important to report to the gentleman!"
The voices of the people on the other side were immature, but in the dark night, everyone did not dare to be careless.
After all, the matter of sending people to assassinate has been written endlessly for hundreds of years, and it is also a topic of conversation in the market. For example, the Duke of Ling condemned Zhao Xuanzi to assassinate Zhao Xuanzi, and Gongzi Guang and the soldiers sent all the soldiers to assassinate Wu Wang, which is known to the whole world......
Therefore, the two armor soldiers first approached and seized the man's weapon, and then one person on the left and one took him to Fan Jia and Xing Heiqiu.
"Fanzi, he is really your retainer."
The person who came did fly down from being surrounded by Zhao Wuxian on the cliff, but he soared down and escaped from Yu Rang!
The clothes on his body have been hung up by sharp rocks, and the branches of plants and trees everywhere, and there are many bloody scars on his face, which makes him look quite embarrassed.
"What has happened, why have you become like this, and what has happened quickly!"
Fan Jia has never paid attention to this inconspicuous retainer, and his eyes have always been fixed on the children of the emperor, such as Virgin Liu. I don't care too much about the poor people who can be seen everywhere, and dozens of people come to take refuge every year.
Yu Rang endured the pain, and went to the ground to cover the battle that had just happened in Shanyang Pavilion, as well as the chase on the mountain road.
"Now the group of thieves on the fox baby's side has lost more than 100 people, and this will take people to retreat to the halfway up the mountain, I am afraid that it will not be able to go up the mountain for a while and a half, and Chengxiang has also found that someone will want to attack at night. The subordinate said that he had tried it, and the person who rode the chariot and commanded freely was the gentleman of the Zhao family! ”
"Zhao Wuxian!" When Fan Jia heard this name, he was immediately furious.
He pointed at Yu Rang and scolded: "You and the others are all waste, such a great opportunity, even if you can't capture them alive, you have to kill them on the spot, surrounded by five hundred people, and they were easily escaped by dozens of people, they are really incompetent." ”
Yu Rang wanted to explain, but in the end he lowered his head and didn't say a word, just clasped his hands tightly into the ground and pinched a handful of sand.
The more Fan Jia thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and finally poured his anger on Yu Rang's body: "You lost your duty as a guide, causing the partial teacher to be discovered, and now you dare to come to see me." Someone, drag him down and behead him! Fan's retainers, don't leave such vegetarian meals! ”
Fan's armor soldiers dressed as robbers immediately grabbed Yu Rang's shoulders and wanted to take him down to kill!
Yu Rang suddenly remembered at this time that the Zhao gentleman's subordinates were willing to die for him, and his current treatment was right, it was really a heaven and an underground, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
He felt that his performance today was already good, and as a guide, he had already done a lot of things beyond his duties. It was another strategy, and it was inciting a group of thieves to resist Zhao Wuxian's dead soldiers, even if they failed to capture Zhao Wuxian in the end, but it was also a crime that happened to meet reinforcements from Chengxiang, which was not his crime.
What's more, under the persuasion of Zhao Wuxian, he would rather take the risk of jumping off the cliff than surrender with his hands tied, just because of the criterion of "the king does not take two hearts". Unexpectedly, after all the hard work of climbing from the cliff and reporting to his lord, he didn't listen to the explanation, and even killed himself in anger......
Such a mediocre lord is not worth dying for him!
Yu Rang clenched the sand tightly with both hands, ready to burst out at any time! As long as he lost the eyes of the two Fan soldiers, he was sure to take their weapons and climb the rock again! (To be continued.) )
