Chapter 70: Attacked by Night
"Old man, with your current status, those salt merchants should be afraid of us!"
After Liu Zheng said this, he said: "Why can those big salt merchants control the sale of official salt and private salt in a county, a state or even a province, one is because they have money, the second is because they have a backstage, and the third is because they have people!" ”
"Do we have the money? Yes, but not as many as them! Do we have a backstage? There are, but our backstage is still fiercer than them, and our backstage is not only fiercer than them, but also more shameless than them! Do we have any? Yes, very much! Those salt merchants can raise a maximum of four or five hundred thugs or support some green forests and grasses for them to drive! But what about us? We have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and there will be 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers soon! ”
"When our illicit salt is transported to the land, the only thing we are inferior to theirs will surpass them, so why should the little salt merchant be afraid?"
Wei Boyuan still felt that something was not quite right there, but he thought about it for a while and didn't figure out that it was wrong, so he simply didn't want to, and talked to Liu Zheng about other things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It wasn't until midnight that Wei Boyuan returned to his tent, which was next to Liu Zhengshuai's tent, and went back to sleep in the tent, but before dawn, he was called out urgently.
After getting dressed and coming to Liu Zheng's handsome tent, he saw a bloodstained soldier half-kneeling on the ground and saying something to Liu Zheng, looking at Liu Zheng's face, Wei Boyuan knew that something was definitely wrong.
Because the soldier was on the side, Wei Boyuan did not call Liu Zhengxian's nephew, but called the lord, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Zheng said with a gloomy face: "At three o'clock last night, the seventeenth battalion was attacked at night, if it wasn't for Camp Commander Zhou arriving in time, even Tian Hongda's life would have been lost!" ”
Wei Boyuan was taken aback, it was so serious, and then a little doubt and puzzlement rose in his heart: "What's the matter?" When did the inspection department in Shouguang City become so powerful? ”
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Old man, the one who attacked the camp is not the inspection department!" ”
"Oh?" Wei Boyuan looked at Liu Zheng in surprise, Liu Zheng didn't answer but glanced at the messenger, and the messenger immediately hugged his fists and said to Wei Boyuan: "General Wei, the people who attacked the camp last night were wearing armor in the style of the guard, and they also used the weapons used by the guards and soldiers!" ”
"Guard?" Wei Boyuan muttered a sentence and then suddenly said: "Le'an, are you from Le'an Thousand Households?" Why did the soldiers of the Le'an Thousand Households appear in Shouguang City? ”
Speaking of this, Wei Boyuan suddenly thought of something and asked urgently: "How many people attacked the camp last night, and who led the troops?" What are the casualties of our army? ”
The messenger immediately replied: "There were 500 people who attacked the camp last night, all of them were foot soldiers, but there were more than 100 archers, and the leader of the troops was called Jiang San'er, and our army was wounded 275 people, and 123 people were killed!" ”
What the! Wei Boyuan was completely shocked, there were only two battalions of 648 people attacking Shouguang County, plus the auxiliary soldiers who transported the baggage and the craftsmen who built the engineering equipment, there were only more than 900 people, good guys, one attacked the battalion, more than 270 were injured, and more than 120 died, doesn't this mean that if you add up one of the 17th battalions, it is not enough for this number of casualties, no wonder Liu Zheng's face is so ugly.
"Wait!" Wei Boyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "You said that the person who led the troops last night was called Jiang San'er?" ”
The messenger nodded and said, "It's indeed called Jiang San'er, he and Battalion Commander Zhou informed each other of their names when they were fighting!" ”
"It's him!" Wei Boyuan muttered.
Liu Zheng saw that Wei Boyuan seemed to know this person, so he asked, "Old man, do you know this person named Jiang San'er?" ”
Wei Boyuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I've heard his father's name, by the way, you should have an impression of this person, this person was one of the people who assassinated you that night!" ”
Liu Zheng's brows furrowed suddenly, and after a little thought, he remembered what Zeng Kaiyu had said to himself, there were six masters who assassinated him that night, and only two of them had reported their names, one of them was Hebei Twelve-shaped Fist Zhou Cong, and the other was this Jiang San'er!
"Is that him? This Jiang San'er is a person from the six doors, right? If he is in Shouguang, does it mean that the people of the six doors are also in Shouguang? ”
After Liu Zheng said this, he immediately said: "If the people from the six doors are in Shouguang, then it is not surprising that the people from the Le'an Thousand Households appear in Shouguang!" ”
Wei Boyuan shook his head and said: "The lord may not be like this, after the last assassination, Chu Yuanzhong specifically talked to me, this Jiang San'er's father is a very famous figure in the rivers and lakes, Jiang Mingda, the three guns, this person's martial arts are extremely high, the Luo family gun, the Yang family gun, and the Yue family gun are used in three marksmanship, and there are few invincible opponents in the rivers and lakes. Legend has it that one of the two spears on his back is the Liquan spear used by Yue Wumu, and the other is the Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear used by Luo Cheng, the seventh best man in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the one he is holding in his hand is not an ordinary gun, it is made of iron, but no one knows what the name of this gun is. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Boyuan paused slightly before he said: "It is rumored that this person has a life-and-death enmity with the old dog who catches the head of the six doors, if the rumors are true, then his son Jiang San'er will definitely not be a person from the six doors!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Zheng's brows furrowed suddenly, if the rumors belonged, Jiang San'er could not be the person of the six doors. But what if rumors are just rumors? In particular, Jiang San'er also participated in the assassination of him, which made it even more difficult for him to believe that Jiang San'er was not from Six Doors.
"If the rumors are true, then how can Jiang San'er still participate in the assassination of me? Presumably this rumor is not true! ”
Wei Boyuan shook his head again and said: "Lord, Chu Yuanzhong has never mentioned his life experience to you, so you don't know some things, about eight years ago, Chu Yuanzhong offended the people of the six doors, and was surrounded and killed by the people of the six doors, and the person who saved him was Jiang Mingda, who killed more than 30 people in the six doors at that time!" Also, the lord, when Chu Yuanzhong knew that Jiang San'er was Jiang Mingda's son, he asked him why he wanted to help the court eagle dog, Jiang San'er said that the assassination of the lord was not to help the court, but because the people of Qingzhou Mansion were persecuted by the lord, so he assassinated! ”
What the? Liu Zheng's eyes are about to come out! The people of Qingzhou Mansion are persecuted by me? Am I suitable to persecute the people of Qingzhou Mansion? If it weren't for me, the people of Qingzhou Mansion wouldn't know how many people would have to die!
Just when Liu Zheng was complaining, he suddenly heard Wei Boyuan say again: "It seems that this must be the person from the Six Doors who said something to Jiang San'er, so Jiang San'er misunderstood the lord!" If this misunderstanding is solved, this person may be able to be taken into account! ”
Hearing this, Liu Zheng stopped complaining, and several bright lights appeared in his eyes, yes, if this misunderstanding is solved, can this person be included in the account? His father is so powerful, can he get it too? If his father is really as powerful as the rumors in the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be a pity not to get it into his own hands?
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng suddenly thought of something, and said anxiously: "Old man, Chu Yuanzhong once told you, where is this Jiang Mingda at this time?" ”
Wei Boyuan shook his head and said, "I didn't talk about it!" ”
Liu Zheng thought about it again and said, "Then did Chu Yuanzhong say that where is this Jiang Mingda from?" ”
Wei Boyuan nodded and said, "The old man knows this, Jiang Mingda is from this Qingzhou Mansion!" ”
"Oh? How coincidental is this? Liu Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "Then do you know where the old man is in Qingzhou Mansion?" ”
"Jiangjia Village, three miles east of Linzi County!"
"Huh? Is it Linzi? What a coincidence! Do you know what other relatives he has in his family? ”
Wei Boyuan knew what Liu Zheng was thinking, but he didn't agree with Liu Zheng's thoughts, and said, "The lord had better not be like this, don't add to the misunderstanding!" As long as the misunderstanding between the lord and Jiang San'er is resolved, the old man will be sure to recruit him! ”
Liu Zheng thought about it, even if he could use his relatives to recruit him, he would inevitably have a mustard in his heart!
Distracted by Wei Boyuan's 'Jianghu affairs', Liu Zheng's anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he casually motioned to the messenger who was still kneeling to go down to treat his injuries, and then got up and came to the sand table and said: "Old man, it is already dawn at this time, and most of the time the 11th battalion and the grain and grass accompanying the battalion have set off half an hour ago!" You see, do we need to send more people? ”
Wei Boyuan stared at the sand table for a while before he spoke: "Le'an Qianhu (has been changed to Wuding Qianhu, here this book continues to use Le'an Qianhu) has about 1,000 soldiers, although it is a tun army, but because it is close to the salt field in Gaojiagang, so its military salary, grain and grass are provided by the salt field, over the years it has been corroded by the big salt merchants, most of the time as the thugs of the salt merchants, there should be no combat effectiveness, how can it be so fierce?" ”
Liu Zheng wanted to roll his eyes, you ask me, who do I ask? This is also a big mistake of his, he didn't take this thousand households in his eyes at the beginning, there is no city wall to protect the thousand households, and they can be destroyed by just fighting, but he didn't expect that this soldier who can fight casually actually appeared in Shouguang County!
"Old man, let's not talk about this first, there were more than 100 archers among the soldiers who attacked the camp last night, this is the most troublesome thing, if there are archers on the city wall during the siege, our casualties will not be small! If I can't attack it for a long time, I'm afraid that something will change! ”
Wei Boyuan thought the same thing in his heart, if he couldn't attack for a long time, it was not only easy to change, but also easy to lose morale, so after a moment of silence, Wei Boyuan hugged his fist very formally and said: "Lord, the old man is willing to personally mention the twelfth and thirteenth battalions to Shouguang!" ”
Wei Boyuan wanted to go in person, Liu Zheng was silent all of a sudden, since he knew that the six doors were going to deal with him, he had never let Wei Boyuan leave his side, that is, he went to Li Run'er and Liu Zheng asked Wei Boyuan to follow him as a light bulb.
Liu Zheng is not a person who is afraid of death, he just doesn't want to die in vain, and he doesn't want to die worthless.
After a long while, Liu Zheng spoke: "Old man, you and I will go together!" ”
