Chapter 10 The affairs of the three armies are not in the middle
When he arrived at the Acropolis, Li Congjing threw all the Liang army prisoners into prison, and he thought that he did not have the strong political offensive force of a certain party, and it was impossible to persuade these Liang troops to join the camp of the Jin army in just one or two days to die for him. Besides, Li Congjing doesn't have much time, once Li Cunqiao drives from Xiangzhou to Weizhou, he has to rush to Qimen.
In Li Congjing's view, the Liang army in Qimen is already the meat in his bowl, and the Liang soldiers are all his subordinates in the future, so of course they are not allowed to run away.
In the middle of the night, although the victory was encouraging, after returning to the Acropolis, most of the soldiers were already tired, so Li Congjing ordered him to rest up and down, and he called the chief of the Acropolis to come over to contact.
When the Liang army captured Weizhou before, the town general was killed, the county commander was killed, and the county was missing.
When Li Congjing was talking to the master of the Acropolis, He Chong took people to the prison.
As a capital of the Liang army, Meng San always felt that he was brave and unparalleled, so when he was taken back to Gongcheng by the Jin army as a prisoner, he provoked Li Congjing a lot along the way, his words were quite paranoid, and even threatened to fight Li Congjing for another 300 rounds. However, Li Congjing didn't look at him all the way, which made him even more indignant.
So when he heard that someone wanted to see him, Meng San thought that Li Congjing was looking for trouble for him, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, Meng San was very disappointed, the other party was not Li Congjing who killed his own general.
He Chongping retreated left and right, beckoned Meng San to sit down, did not forget to pour a bowl of water for Meng San, and said with a smile: "Are Meng Dutou still used to staying here?" ”
"Get used to it!" Meng San doesn't have a good airway, who will get used to staying in prison, why don't you try it?
He Chong didn't care about Meng San's attitude, pushed the water in front of Meng San, and smiled unabated: "Looking down, Meng Dutou is about the same age as me, so he must have a family in the south, right?" ”
"It's about you!" Meng San still had a gloomy face.
He Chong smiled, "Don't Mengdutou want to see his old mother and wife again?" Oh, perhaps, you have sons or daughters, and they must all be very cute. ”
Meng San stared at He Chong and sneered, "Are you here to persuade him to surrender?" ”
"No, I'm here to let you go south." He Chong met Meng San's gaze and paused word by word.
"What do you mean?"
He Chong was not in a hurry at this time, and said slowly: "When I returned to Gongcheng from Luoyankou today, there were five hundred Liang troops, and only Mengdu dared to look at Commander Li angrily, and the strong man was brave, and He admired it very much. It's just ......" Speaking of this, He Chong approached Meng San and said coldly: "He Mou heard that after Commander Li returned to the city, he was furious and wanted to punish Meng Dutou to set an example." Mengdutou, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow? ”
"Straight mother thief, if you have something to say, how could Lao Tzu ever be afraid of him Li Congjing?" Meng San got up, but he was angry, "Also, who are you?" ”
"Why should Montutou be angry?" He Chong wiped the saliva that was sprayed by Meng San on his face, and said lightly: "He Mou has already said, I am here to let you return to the south." By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, He is the commander of Wei Bojun, and this time he led 400 Wei Bojun to go out with Li Commander. However, some people above didn't want to see Li Congjing being too arrogant, so they ordered He to do something, and now, He Mou needs Meng Dutou's help in the next favor. ”
"Oh?" Meng San gradually calmed down.
"If Meng Dutou wants to return south, he naturally has to go through Li Congjing's pass and deal with Li Congjing. In this way, you and I have a common enemy. He Chong Zhengse said, "I have a plan, I can let Mengdutou retreat with his whole body, and I can avenge the revenge of Luoyankou, it depends on whether Mengdutou has the guts." ”
"Lao Tzu has the guts, as long as you let Lao Tzu out, Lao Tzu will immediately slaughter Li Congjing's bird!" Meng Sanhao is dry cloud road.
"There's no need to risk it." He Chong said, he felt that the time had come, so he laid out the plan and the plan, "An hour later, you let the people in the prison send a message to Li Congjing, saying that they are willing to surrender to the Jin army, and are willing to lead the Jin army to the Liang army as a rout, and enter the Qi Gate, and stay until midnight, you open the city gate from the Qi Gate, and the Jin army should be combined with the outside, and you will be able to break the Qi Gate." ”
"And actually?" Meng San asked.
"Actually, that's true. It's just that as soon as the gate of Qimen is opened, Li Congjing will take the horse straight to take the lead, you ambush the archers in the gate, and after letting Li Congjing enter the urn city, immediately close the city gate, and then ten thousand arrows will be fired, even if he Li Congjing is powerful, he can only die. At that time, even if He fought desperately, he could not break through the Qimen guarded by a large number of Liang troops, and at that time, you returned to the south safely, and He also completed the mission. After He Chong finished speaking, he showed a sinister and smug smile.
Today, the turmoil in the camp of Wei Bojun was strongly suppressed by Li Congjing, especially after the victory in Luoyankou, Li Congjing was faintly able to control Wei Bojun's momentum, which made He Chong extremely panicked. He knew that if he allowed the situation to develop, it would be difficult for him to deal with Li Congjing again, and he would not be able to explain after he returned, and his future would definitely be ruined.
Racking his brains, He Chong finally came up with such a poisonous plan, although the above had no intention of letting Li Congjing die, but he couldn't care about it so much, as long as things were done without traces and without evidence, in his opinion, no one could do anything to him.
After Meng San heard He Chong's words, he fell silent for a while.
He Chong didn't urge, picked up the bowl and took a sip of water.
In the middle of the sound, Meng San raised his head and grinned: "Since Commander He told him about this, if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he won't be able to live, right?" ”
"He will kill you." He Chong is also frank, there is nothing to hide this, everyone understands people, "However, He Mou wants to come, Meng Dutou doesn't seem to have a reason not to agree, right?" ”
"You're right!" Meng San stood up, "Lao Tzu did this!" ”
He Chong smiled.
After talking to the master of the Acropolis, a line of fish belly white had already appeared in the sky, and Li Congjing was ready to take a break. Coincidentally, at this time, Li Rong, who was sent to Qimen by him before the Battle of Luoyankou, returned to Gongcheng with the news.
Li Congjing, who came from the big information age, naturally knew the importance of information, so he would rather Li Rong not participate in the Luoyankou War, but also send him to Qimen as soon as possible to find out the situation in Qimen.
"The commander, the former Liang army is the head of Mengsan, saying that he is willing to surrender to the Jin army, and has a strategy to break the Qi door, and asks to see the commander." Zhang Xiaowu came in at this time and said.
"Meng San?"
"It's the Liang army who was shouting all the way last night that he wanted to fight with the commander for another 300 rounds." Zhang Xiaowu said.
"Oh, it's him." Li Congjing remembered this person and said, "Bring him." ”
Li Congjing asked Li Rong to go down to rest, and after a while, Meng San was brought up.
"Meng San has seen Commander Li." Meng San was tied up and entered the door.
Li Congjing waved his hand to signal the guards to untie Meng San, and then asked, "What plan do you have to break the Qi Gate?" ”
"I am willing to take the Jin army to disguise itself as the Liang army and flee into Qimen, and then join forces with Commander Li to break Qimen." Meng Sandao.
"That's a good idea." Li Congjing nodded, "However, how can this envoy believe your words?" ”
Meng San smiled, "Meng's defeated general is to flee back to Daliang alone, which is also a dead end, I have no relatives and no reason in Daliang, and there is no need for this." Moreover, I have heard that the King of Jin is eloquent and strategic, invincible and invincible, so why not be happy to be able to belong to a Ming lord like King Jin? Commander Li sent the elite to walk with He, if He turned against the water, it would be easy for Commander Li to kill the elite under his command, how could Meng find his own death? ”
Li Congjing groaned for a while, he remembered that the army in this era, loyalty is really too extravagant, because of the collapse of etiquette, moral degradation, and the difficulty of surviving in troubled times, few people no longer fear the gods above their heads, but only care about their own vital interests. Therefore, it is common for the army not to say surrender, it is a matter of turmoil and rebellion. Therefore, Meng San's choice is actually not surprising.
Seeing that Li Congjing did not respond immediately, Meng San said in a deep voice: "A certain is a soldier, a soldier." Soldiers died on the battlefield, and soldiers were shrouded in horse leather, this is all fate, and a certain is not greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that a certain person doesn't want to die worthless, let alone live a bloodless life, the general can take Zhang Lang's head among the ten thousand troops, and he is worried that such a small character will play tricks? ”
Li Congjing looked at Meng San again and said seriously: "Killing Zhang Lang in the midst of the chaos is not the same thing as worrying about not worrying about such a small character as you. ”
However, having said that, Li Congjing still said: "Meng San, if you make meritorious contributions this time, you will be restored to your position as the head of the capital." ”
Meng San's spirit perked up, "A word is a certainty!" ”
After Li Congjing arranged for someone to take Meng San down, he paced back and forth in the room, carefully thinking about what Meng San had just said, and gauging whether there were any flaws in it.
Meng San's words were undoubtedly logically reasonable, but Li Congjing always had a trace of doubt in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he finally caught something, and then let Zhang Xiaowu come in, and said, "Go and call the master of the city back." ”
Not long after, the master bookkeeper on the way back was invited back again, this time Li Congjing was much more eager in his attitude, and said bluntly: "The master book has been on an errand in Gongcheng for many years, right?" ”
The main bookkeeper said: "Don't hide the command, a certain has been on an errand in Gongcheng for more than ten years, and this master book alone has been working for more than five years." ”
Li Congjing suddenly looked at the master book seriously and asked, "Presumably the master book knows the identity of the envoy?" ”
The chief bookkeeper was a little stunned when he heard this, and then he arched his hand and said: "The commander is the son of the deputy head of the Inner and Outer Han Dynasty, and the subordinate has heard of it. ”
Li Congjing nodded slightly, his face became solemn, and said: "I see that the master book is familiar with the affairs of the whole city, and the master book must be conscientious about official affairs on weekdays, and a talent like the master book should not stay in such a position as the master book for five years, and he will not be allowed to advance an inch." ”
"This ......" the master bookkeeper doesn't know what Li Congjing means.
Li Congjing got straight to the point, and said endlessly: "Li's subordinates have made a great contribution, if the master book helps me to win, Li dares to guarantee that the master book will be promoted after this battle!" ”
It is a taboo to talk about it in a shallow way, but Li Congjing's identity is different, and he is high up to the master book, so this statement does not seem abrupt. Rao is like this, and the master book is also surprised and dazed, of course, there are also a lot of expectations.
Immediately, Li Congjing whispered a few words to the main book.
The master book suddenly realized, and then smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter, and a certain must be done by the commander." ”
"So, there is a labor master's book." Li Congjing said.
The master bookkeeper immediately received the order to run errands, and Li Congjing rested and waited in the house.
Half a day later, the master book came again and returned to Li Congjing.
After Li Congjing thanked the master book, he asked Meng San to be brought into the house.
After Meng San entered the house, he saluted Li Congjing, but saw that Li Congjing's face was as black as ink, and he had a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Li Congjing didn't like nonsense, he looked directly at Meng San, and said: "Meng San, from scolding the envoy to taking the initiative to take refuge, it was only a few hours in between, and the change was too abrupt, and I had to make the envoy suspicious." Fortunately, the envoy was cautious, He Chong went to the prison yesterday to see you, and the envoy had entrusted the master to find out about this matter. What did He Chong tell you, did you truthfully recruit you, or did you want to torture you out of your hands? ”
