Chapter 46 Li Congjing takes advantage of the momentum like chess, and Wang Yanzhang breaks the enemy in three days (2)
"Wu Jingzhong has already launched operations in Qimen and other three places, and has made a lot of help, especially the eunuchs, I am afraid that even if we are equal to his twists and turns, we will be enemies of him, but what should I do, and ask the military commander to make it clear." Wei Zheng said worriedly.
Zhao Xiangyao has been in the military intelligence department for a long time, and he has already grown up, and then said: "Wu Jingzhong can make friends with eunuchs, and we can also bribe these people." My subordinates have heard other drivers say that those who have won the trust of those in high positions throughout the ages are only bribing the people around the other party with their goods to make them speak for us. We are sitting in Huai and Mengzhou, and there is no shortage of money, so we can bribe servants and even imperial concubines, so we are afraid that he Wu Jingzhong will not be successful? ”
Li Congjing shook his head, "What is the difference between fighting with Wu Jingzhong like this and biting two dogs?" I found a piece of information from the booklet and asked: "A few years ago, Pushui was never mentioned, and the harm was not small, when Wu Jingzhong was still His Majesty the King of Jin, and begged him to allocate funds to control the water, and he was greedy for ink. Is this serious? ”
"It does." Zhao Xiangyao said.
Li Congjing smiled and said: "In this case, this matter is easy to do, you just need to ...... So, understand? ”
Zhao Xiangyao and Wei Zheng were in high spirits when they heard this, and they hugged their fists and said: "Don't worry, the military marshal will do it!" ”
Li Congjing nodded, "As for bribing the harem, it's good if this matter is done well, once the matter is leaked, it will be difficult to protect it for life, it is tantamount to setting the fire on the body, and now you and I can't get involved." Give the order to Tao Tong, isn't Wu Jingzhong collecting evidence of my crimes, then let his people not bring back the news. ”
Li Congjing's tone was flat, but Zhao Xiangyao and the others looked awe-inspiring, "Yes!" ”
Li Congjing sneered, "My Hundred Battles Army has fought bloodily many times to achieve today's achievements, but there are some people who are red-eyed; It's okay to be red, but I don't have long eyes, thinking about stabbing me in the back. These people don't want to think about it, if I can take care of others, can't I take care of them? The Wu family is just one of the typical examples, and now, it's time to borrow the blood of the Wu family to give these people a wake-up. If you want to get your hands on the fruits of the bloody battles of my Hundred Battles, you have to see if they have that life! ”
Standing up, Li Congjing's eyes were sharp, "Jealous of my merits, if you have the ability, you will go to the battlefield by yourself, and if you don't have the ability, you will lie on your stomach obediently; You can only be a guard dog, so don't be a wolf! ”
…………………………
Li Congjing visits Guo Chongtao.
Prior to this, Li Congjing got detailed information about Guo Chongtao, saying that Guo Chongtao's preferences are lackluster, neither good for beauties, nor good for money, beautiful women's money, people's fixed desires, many people work hard all their lives, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than both, but if a man does not even dare to be interested in these two, he is undoubtedly an outlier.
Guo Chongtao's favorites are in power. And Guo Chongtao's trouble lies in power.
Nowadays, there are countless good generals in the Tang Army, but most of them are brave generals, and there are very few people who have Sun Bin's military strategy, and Guo Chongtao is one of the leaders. Previously, Li Cunqiao was called the emperor, set up three provinces and six ministries, and promoted a large number of officials.
He was not promoted because he was likely to be promoted to a position that was not only important, but also highly competitive. In today's imperial court, there is only one vacant official position that meets this condition - the privy envoy.
Privy envoys, in a sense, are not exaggerating to say that they are at the extreme of the central military position at this time.
In the hall, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao sat opposite each other.
After talking for a long time, the atmosphere was warm, Li Congjing brought the topic to the topic, "The day before yesterday, I made a statement to Your Majesty that if there is a war with the pseudo-Liang, the Hundred Battles Army is willing to be the vanguard and reject Wang Yanzhang, what does the senior brother think?" ”
"It's naturally a good thing that the junior brother has such great ambitions." Guo Chongtao nodded in approval.
Li Congjing was worried, "However, His Majesty did not approve of this matter, if you want your dream to come true, you need someone who is willing to speak for the Hundred Battles Army." The power to dispatch the actions of the army is in the hands of His Majesty and the Privy Council, and it is not easy for me to seek this military feat. Besides, if this is the case, the supply of the army should be dispatched in the Privy Council, and if there is no upright and reliable person in the rear, I have some concerns in my heart. ”
"Oh, junior brother has concerns?" Guo Chongtao took a sip of tea and waited for Li Congjing to follow.
"Now the office of the privy councillor is vacant, which is worrying." Li Congjing sighed, "To tell the truth, if it was the senior brother who sat in the rear, I would be much more at ease." ”
After saying this, Li Congjing looked at Guo Chongtao.
"To be a brother is to help you, but if you are not in your position, you can't do anything, so what can you do?" Guo Chongtao said.
Li Congjing no longer hid and tucked away, straight to the point, "Now among the candidates for the post of privy envoy, the senior brother has a high voice, and the only one who can compete with the senior brother is Zhang Juhan, and the reason why Zhang Juhan can compete with the senior brother is that there are people behind him, because the power behind him is quite large, even His Majesty has to consider it carefully." Senior brother, do you know who is behind this? ”
"Could it be that the junior brother knows?" Guo Chongtao said strangely.
Li Congjing smiled indifferently, "It's nothing more than two forces, it can be called two legs, because of two legs, Zhang Juhan can walk upright, if he can break one of his feet, hehe...... One of them is the Wu family, headed by Wu Jingzhong, the main general of the Japanese army. ”
At the beginning, Li Cunxian said that he would lend Guo Chongtao to Li Congjing to help him deal with the Wu family, and the reason was here - if there is a common enemy, it is a natural ally.
And if he can become an ally with the future privy envoy, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for Li Congjing and the Hundred Battles Army.
"The Wu family is powerful, and it may be difficult to deal with." Guo Chongtao looked at Li Congjing closely.
Li Congjing took out a letter and handed it to Guo Chongtao, "Senior brother, please take a look." ”
Guo Chongtao hurriedly picked it up.
After reading it, Guo Chongtao looked at Li Congjing, with a look of surprise on his face, and exclaimed: "Senior brother is really a god." ”
"There is news that the pseudo-Liang has gathered a large army and is preparing to march north. Three days later, it is the period of the Great Dynasty, at that time, His Majesty will determine the policy of cutting down Liang, and will also determine who will be the privy envoy! ”
…………………………
Kimen.
It rained a lot in mid-spring, and today it rained heavily. The heavy rain is not to be afraid, and pedestrians are advised not to look back.
On the official road, a team of horses galloped wildly against the rain, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a broken dream, hitting the rain curtain that obscured the eyes of pedestrians, and it fell into mud, undulating on the wilderness. There were more than a dozen people in the horse team, wearing hats, cloaks, and long knives, all of whom were men.
Qimen County is like a tiger and leopard, lying quietly in the wind and rain, burying its head in silence. Seeing the hazy city from the rain curtain, the leader shouted loudly: "My lord, Qi Gate is in front, have you entered the city?" ”
A person behind him raised his head from under the hat, it was a middle-aged man with a goatee, and he said coldly: "Don't enter the city, go straight to Weizhou, be sure to arrive before dark!" ”
The man before was surprised: "The second general is in the city, why don't you enter the city?" ”
"The situation has changed, how can I still enter the city?" Goat Hu said, "Your whereabouts and I have been revealed, and the Hundred Battles Army is following closely behind, Qimen, the place where Li Congjing is based, I have to take precautions!" ”
"Yes!"
"Remember, as long as you rush to Weizhou, the general situation will be decided! You and I are guilty of Li Congjing, which was bought by countless brothers in exchange for their lives, and it must be sent to the general! Goatee admonished.
The rain was so heavy that there was not a single idler on the road. In the middle of nowhere, the team seemed very lonely.
Just as they were about to bypass Qimen, in the rain curtain in front of them, more than 20 horsemen rushed towards them on the official road.
When the other party was discovered, it was too late to dodge, and in the sound of metal rubbing, more than a dozen long knives were unsheathed, and the goatee said: "Prepare to fight!" ”
When he got closer, the knight on the opposite side shouted: "I am Wu Jingyi, but the person in front of me is Zhang Jun?" ”
"It's the second general!" More than a dozen people immediately jumped up, and the goatee responded loudly: "It's Zhang Jun!" ”
The Wu family has Wu Jingzhong's highest military rank and Wu Jingyi second, so the Wu family calls him the second general.
At the head of the two-sided meeting, goatee Zhang Jun and Wu Jingyi met, Wu Jingyi said eagerly: "Brother Zhang, have you got the things?" ”
Zhang Jun patted the bag on his side and said, "Second general, don't worry, the things have arrived!" ”
Wu Jingyi was overjoyed, "Okay, this time Li Congjing is dead!" Come back to Weizhou with me! ”
After the two parties converged, a total of more than 30 people, they began to hurry again.
And at this moment, someone exclaimed: "Second General, the Hundred Battles Army is catching up from behind!" ”
"How many are there?"
"The black pressure is overwhelming, I can't see clearly, no less than twenty or thirty!"
"Second general, go away, I'll break the queen!" Zhang Jun immediately made a decision and handed over his bags to Wu Jingyi, "This gang of hundred battle troops is very difficult, all of them are good hands, we have suffered a big loss before!" ”
"Brother Zhang, why don't you go together?"
Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that Zhang is unwilling, it's really these people who are so ruthless, if you don't leave someone behind, you will be caught up sooner or later!" Speaking of this, he said, "Please ask the second general to take care of my family for me!" ”
Wu Jingyi no longer said anything to Zhang Jun, said take care, hit the horse and leave.
Zhang Jun and the other dozen or so people did not stay in place, but turned around and raised their swords to meet the black knights behind the official road.
Before Zhang Jun and the others had time to get close, several crossbow arrows flew on the opposite side, and two people around him fell off their horses at the moment. Zhang Jun's eyes were red, he roared, dodged the arrow, killed two more companions, and finally approached the other party, and immediately slashed it with a knife.
In the middle of the fierce battle, Zhang Jun was wounded in many places, and there were no more people left around him, while the rest of his companions, who were dead and wounded, fell on the side of the road, and the blood flowed into the rain, and there was a large area of red Dandan. At this moment, there was a commotion behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Wu Jingyi running back.
Zhang Jun hurriedly caught up, and Zhang Huang said: "Second general, why did you return?" ”
In fact, just looking at the appearance of the people around Wu Jingyi, he guessed the reason, but this reason was too desperate for him to accept.
Wu Jingyi said miserably: "There were no less than 100 people who were intercepted and killed before, and they really couldn't rush through." ”
"The second general dismounted, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to escape into the wilderness from the side of the road and find a way back to Weizhou!" Zhang Jun was in a hurry, "I hope that the second general will be auspicious!" ”
Wu Jingyi had no choice but to do so, so he dismounted with the two of them and ran away from the side of the road.
Wu Jingyi originally brought back more than a dozen people, but this time, there were only a few people left on the road, Zhang Jun took them to fight to the death, and gradually died one by one, and finally only he was left.
Before and after the official road, dense knights appeared from the rain curtain, blocking the front and rear, and he had no way to escape.
"Second General, let's go!" Zhang Jun had a horizontal knife in his neck, and when he roared, he was about to kill himself, "Li Congjing, Lao Tzu is waiting for you below!" ”
"Brother Zhang!" As soon as Zhang Jun's voice fell, a person ran back from the side of the road, who was it not Wu Jingyi?
"Second general, ...... you" Zhang Jun looked at the person who ran back in embarrassment.
"There was an ambush in front of me, but I couldn't get out, and the two brothers died...... Damn, there are even people in the field, these guys are clearly calculated a long time ago! Wu Jingyi also had a crossbow arrow on his shoulder, and his tone was sad and angry, he reacted at this time, the reason why the other party appeared at this time was not accidental, it was obviously intended to wait for their two teams to converge, so as to annihilate them all.
In the rain, hundreds of knights, plus dozens of foot swordsmen, gathered from all directions, surrounding Zhang Jun and Wu Jingyi in the middle, the knife dripping blood, and the eyes were like wolves.
"There is no way to heaven, no door to the earth, God!" Wu Jingyi cried out sadly, and Zhang Jun was already sitting on the ground.
The swordsmen surrounding them suddenly moved out of the way, and one of them stepped out of the way and stepped in front of them. The rain was silent, the earth was silent, and neither was she.
Seeing this person, Zhang Jun fell into the ice cellar and pointed at her, panicked with disbelief, "No, it's impossible, you were obviously still in Luzhou yesterday, we didn't stop all the way, how could you get to us in front of us, this is impossible!" ”
"Because there is a shortcut." The man said lightly, and his hand rose and fell.
Zhang Jun's blood sprayed on Wu Jingyi's face, pulling him back from his panic, he fell to his knees all of a sudden, and begged for mercy, "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life!" ”
The "woman" glanced at him indifferently, and suddenly asked: "You are Wu Jingyi, and you are waiting for the Japanese army?" ”
"Yes, it is under the bottom, the heroine spares her life, I am willing to surrender!" Wu Jingyi nodded hurriedly like garlic, and put his bags on his hands vigilantly.
He had already seen that this person was the leader of this group, and he paid for it, as long as she dared to take the bag, he was sure to hurt people and restrain her. With her as a hostage, this time there is no chance to escape......
The corners of the "Woman's Hero" mouth moved, and she said in a tone that was inexplicable to Wu Jingyi: "I heard that when the Japanese army came to Huaizhou a few days ago, he went halfway to exterminate the bandits, and the soldiers and horses have already driven to the Immortal Mountain?" ”
"This ......" Wu Jingyi didn't understand what the other party meant.
He'll never get it.
Because after the other party said this, his head fell on the wet ground.
