Chapter 197: Sorrowful Stone Lance
Zhao Shuo had doubts about Mo Qi, and Zhao Shuo also had doubts about Wang Long and Li Zhong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that Jin is in turmoil, it is a great opportunity for development and growth, and Zhao Shuo will never let it go.
In order to develop and grow, it is necessary to open up a path to the south. Li Yuanhao's request to change cities can only wait for a reply now. If the Western Xia refused, the road to the south would only be under the control of the Zhe family. Fortunately, now that Ori Yanye has expressed his position, the rest depends on how Zhe Keqiu chooses.
Whether it is the change of cities in Western Xia or the annexation of the broken family, as long as one side succeeds, Zhao Shuo's forces can take advantage of the situation to go south and connect Chang'an.
But now there is another problem, and that is the stone lance. Both Zhao Gou and Wan Yan Gao agreed to hand over the Great Song Dynasty land occupied by the Pseudo-Qi or Jin State to Zhao Shuo. But the soldiers who went north were stone lances.
In order to control the land of the Pseudo-Qi, war is inevitable. However, Shi Li's team was stopped in the center, and if he wanted to control the eastern territory of the pseudo-Qi, he had to control the Bianliang, Luoyang, and Zhengzhou areas controlled by the Shi Qi of the Jin State.
If this is the case, a bloody battle between the two sides is inevitable, which Zhao Shuo does not want to see.
For a few days, Zhao Shuojin locked himself in his room, thinking about countermeasures, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Lord Wang, Bianliang Shiqi sent someone."
Fluttershy's voice comes from outside the door, and a depressed Zhao Shuo suddenly comes to his senses.
"Quick, bring it here!" Zhao Shuo opened the door and said urgently.
A man wearing a hat is brought in by Fluttershy.
Looking at this burly man, Zhao Shuo frowned. Looking at the figure, it is a little similar to the stone lance, but the man's hat is pressed very low, and he can't see his face clearly. Isn't it more noticeable and suspicious to think that this is the August weather, when the weather is hot and there is no rain, wearing a hat to cover your face?
"Your Excellency is ......," Zhao Shuo asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Wang, can't you see who I am?" The man replied in a deep voice.
"The body and voice are very similar to a friend of mine, but ......," Zhao Shuo sat down. It doesn't feel like it! ”
The man took off his hat and laughed. "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I miss death!"
"It's really you!" Zhao Shuo couldn't calm down, got up and grabbed the person. "Why did Brother Shi come in person?"
The person who came was Shi Lance, and when he heard Zhao Shuo say this, Shi Lance sighed and said. "I'm here this time to join the prince, and I hope the prince will take me in!"
"What does Brother Shi mean by this?" Zhao Shuo looked puzzled. Shi Lance is now the former military commander of the Great Song Dynasty, and his 20,000 men and horses have already controlled Luoyang, Bianliang, and Zhengzhou, so he needs to take him in? Isn't that a joke!
"It's not a secret...... Shi Lance sighed and explained.
As the commander of the former army, Shi Lance controlled the 20,000 horses of the former army, invaded the territory of the puppet Qi, and controlled the three cities of Luoyang, Bianliang and Zhengzhou.
Because the follow-up troops had not arrived for a long time, there was no way, Shi Lance divided the army into three parts, Luoyang was handed over to Li Zhong, with 5,000 troops, and Zhengzhou was handed over to his other deputy general, Chen Chong, who led the troops to 5,000, and himself, personally commanded an army of 10,000, stationed in Bianliang.
However, as soon as the army stabilized, Wang Lung, who had been transferred, returned, and Wang Lung, who returned, also brought Zhang Jun's orders. The army was placed under the command of Wang Long, with Shi Lance as the deputy general, and defended in place. ’
This is obviously to deprive Shi Lance of his military power, Shi Lance was unhappy, and wanted to resist, kill Wang Long, and then lead the army to Fuzhou and defect to Zhao Shuo.
But Shi Li's mind was guessed by Wang Lung, Wang Lung took the first step, killed all the generals and guards of Shi Li's in the hall, and then put Shi Li's house arrest. Subsequently, Wang Lung reported the matter of Shi Lance's 'gathering a crowd to rebel' to the imperial court, and waited for the imperial court to execute him.
Shi Lance thought that he would definitely die, but by coincidence, the soldier who delivered the meal was his old subordinate, and the soldier exchanged clothes with Shi Lance in order to repay his kindness, and Shi Lance escaped because of this.
A few days after leaving Bianliang, Bianliang's army began to move, and they searched everywhere for suspicious people. Shi Lance hid in Tibet, went out day and night, and left Bianliang with great effort.
Shi Li, who left Bianliang, originally planned to go to Luoyang to find Li Zhong, and then kill him back to take revenge, but thinking about the current situation, the surroundings of Luoyang may have been surrounded by Wang Lung a long time ago. When the time comes, if he doesn't, he will definitely die, and Li Zhong will have to be pulled in.
Thinking of this, Shi Lance gritted his teeth and rode alone to Fuzhou.
After arriving in Fuzhou, Shi Li, who was unfamiliar with the place, did not dare to visit the people who broke the family. He secretly inquired about Zhao Shuo's news in Gu County, and then slept in the open air, and came here non-stop.
After listening to Shi Qi's words, Mo Qi's words made sense, Li Zhong did not give Mo Qi the customs clearance documents to go to Luoyang, indicating that Li Zhong had sensed that something was wrong. Mo Qi wanted to go to Bianliang, but the road was very tight and he couldn't get through. Now it seems that this investigation is not to detect suspicious people from outside, but to prevent the stone lance from escaping.
After understanding this, Zhao Shuo felt a little relieved in his heart. Wang Lung rebelled, but Li Zhong and Mo Qi were still loyal, and now that Shi Lance had come to Gu County safely, Zhao Shuo was content.
"Brother Shi has worked hard all the way, I'll ask Fluttershy to arrange a place for you, so get some rest first!" Zhao Shuo patted Shi Yan's shoulder and comforted.
"Lord Wang, I'm not tired, how many soldiers do you have, I want to kill them back." Shi Lance said through gritted teeth.
"Don't hide it from Brother Shi, all the troops in Gu County are wrapped in the Ya Servants, and now there are no more than two hundred people." Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "The only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses I have in my hands have been sent out now."
"The prince has so few soldiers?" The stone lance sighed. "Then when will I get revenge for this revenge!"
"Who is Brother Shi going to seek revenge on, it's my unsuccessful guard Wang Long; or pit your Zhang Jun; Or the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, my uncle! ”
"Kill Wang Long first, and then kill Zhang Jun, if the prince agrees, I will kill Zhao Gou and assist the prince to be the emperor." Stone Lance Road.
Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Emperor, I'm not interested."
After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "Of the 20,000 people you brought out, how many of them were your soldiers and horses?"
"When it came out, it was more than five hundred, but now I don't know." Stone Lance lowered his head.
"What about 20,000 people?" Zhao Shuo asked suspiciously.
"It's all added by the imperial court this time!" Stone Lance Road. "Any questions?"
Zhao Shuo shook his head. "Brother Shi, you go down and rest first!"
After sending away the stone lance, Zhao Shuo frowned. Shi Lance only has more than 300 of his own soldiers, and the supplementary imperial court soldiers are afraid that they will not be under the command of Shi Lance when they set off. In other words, Zhang Jun and Wang Lung wanted to use the name of the indicator. What are they doing this for?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Shuo's mind, and he lowered his head and sneered. "Since you're here for me, don't go back." (To be continued.) )
