Chapter Twenty-Two: Yang Qing? Rat?
readx;
As Li Yanqing expected, Li Mi had already set up a position under the Jindi Pass, waiting for Li Yanqing to come and retake the Jindi Pass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhai Rang chased and killed Pei Xingyan?
Li Mi is not optimistic! First, he looked down on Zhai Rang, and second, he really didn't think that Zhai Rang could succeed in chasing and killing.
He and Yan Qing have never had a real head-to-head confrontation, but they have not dealt with each other. It's just that that time, he hid his name, and Li Yanqing didn't know. In addition, Yang Xuangan was defeated later, and Li Yanqing defended Gong County, which played a vital role.
Li Mi may not be able to look down on Li Yanqing, but there is no vanity under his fame. Even if Li Yanqing has no ability, it is not Zhai Rang who can deal with it.
But he didn't expect that Zhai Rang would be defeated.
Most of the soldiers and horses brought out were killed and scattered! It was really unexpected by Li Mi.
It is true that the Wagang Army is a rabble, but they are also battle-hardened bandits. From the seventh year of the Great Cause, the army rebelled, and fought against the official army for five years, but instead of declining, it became stronger and stronger...... This in itself can show that the Wagang Army is extremely strong and incomparably combative.
However, such a strong army of soldiers and horses was killed in disarray?
The so-called killing and scattering of most of them is not more than half of the casualties. In fact, in the field, it is difficult to have such a casualty rate of more than 50%. Often, as soon as there is a defeat, there are clever soldiers and ruffians who start to flee in all directions. It is rare for a field battle to have more than 20% casualties. Most of the soldiers and horses fled in the field. After the war, these deserters will also regroup.
However, among the secretaries, there will still be a record of 'more than half of the casualties', or 'heavy casualties'.
Li Mi hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and found that Zhai Rang's complexion was not good-looking, and he didn't ask too much.
He introduced Zhai Rang into Jindi Pass, but privately asked Wang Bodang to ask what was going on. Wang Bodang did not go to Shan Xiongxin, but found Cheng Zhijie. After asking the reason, he secretly reported it to Li Mi in private.
Li Mi furrowed his brows, revealing a pensive look.
Wang Bodang didn't say anything, and stood quietly aside, waiting for Li Mi's inquiry.
"Saburo, it looks like we need to change our plans."
Wang Bodang is the third in the clan, and because of his strong martial arts and bravery, he has the nickname of Yong Sanlang. Li Mi is still Wang Bodang's teacher in name, so naturally between words, he is very relaxed and does not have any pretentiousness.
He raised his head and said, "I originally planned that after breaking through the Jindi Pass, I would take advantage of the victory to pursue, attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and open the gate of Xingyang. But now it seems that it may not be easy. Then Li Yanqing actually guessed my plan, and he must have rushed back to the Tiger Prison Pass to inform Yang Qing.
I am afraid it will not be easy to break through the tiger prison again. Although Yang Qing is incompetent, he can't be careless when he has six generals under his command. ”
Wang Bodang said: "San Lang is willing to obey Mr.'s orders." ”
Li Mi thought for a while, "San Lang, you immediately order your troops and horses and rush back to Wagangzhai."
I will explain to the general on the grounds that the treasure of Wuyang County Shouyuan intends to cross the river. Zhai Mohou died in battle, and the general was unhappy. He can't blame Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin, but he will be angry with you. If he hadn't been defeated by Li Yanqing, maybe he would have let you go. Can ...... now Even if he doesn't target you now, he will make it difficult for you in private. It's dangerous for you to stay. ”
"Mr. ......"
Wang Bodang did not think about his own safety, but first thought of Li Mi's safety.
In his opinion, if Zhai Rang couldn't find the punching bag, he might be angry with Li Mi. As a disciple of Li Mi, he should share his worries for Li Mi.
Li Mi smiled with relief, "Don't worry about me, Zhai Rang...... I can't help it.
After you return to Wagang, there is one more important thing to do. You tell Fang Xuanzao to rush to Wuyang County immediately and try to contact Yuan Baobao. Yuan Baobao This person is greedy and has no skills. All it takes is a lot of money, a deterrent, and an immediate subjugation. Wuyang County is an important place in Hebei, adjacent to Liyangcang. Now Luokou Cang may not be able to be captured quickly, so Liyang Cang is even more important to us. ”
Wang Bodang's eyes lit up, "What does Mr. mean, let Yuan Treasure take Liyang Cang for us?" ”
Li Mi smiled but did not speak.
In Wang Bodang's heart, Li Mi is like a god-man.
Since he said that let Yuan Treasure take Liyang Cang, then Liyang Cang must be at your fingertips. As for how to persuade a dignified county guard to rebel against the imperial court? It's not something that Wang Bodang needs to think about. Li Mi said yes, then it must be possible. Just like when he said that he could take Jindi Pass, he was almost bloodless and controlled Jindi Pass in his hands. If it weren't for God, how could it be?
So Uncle Wang took the order and went away.
As soon as he left, Zhai Rang sent someone to invite Li Mi to discuss the matter.
It can be seen that Zhai Rang has not recovered yet, and his complexion is still a little bad.
"Master, although Jindi Pass has been taken, there is Li invincible in Xingyang, but I am afraid that he will not lead the troops to come. This man is good at fighting, has an invincible name, and is also a god and ghost, how can we resist? It's better to withdraw the troops now, return to Wagangzhai, and attack again when the time is ripe. ”
Zhai Rang was obviously frightened by Li Yanqing!
It's no wonder that three Li Yanqing suddenly appeared, obviously this guy has immortal spells and can separate thousands of people. Zhai Rang is still a person who believes in ghosts and gods, and if he is allowed to fight against the millions of Sui troops, he may not retreat. But fighting with demons, he really doesn't have the courage.
In the hall, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin and others all showed displeasure.
Although Li Mi didn't know what tricks Li Yanqing was playing, he firmly believed that it was not a demon technique.
Seeing Zhai Rang like this, the contempt for Zhai Rang in his heart was a little more.
However, on the surface, he still showed enough respect, "If the general really retreats at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Wagang." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"The general waved 100,000 troops to capture Jindi Pass, and the heroes of the world all stroked their palms and praised the general.
This is a good opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves, if we retire at this time, shouldn't we be laughed at by the heroes of the world, and laugh at the general's courage? Regardless of whether Li Yanqing would be a demon or not, the general was afraid of Li Invincible, but it became a fact. In this way, the local soldiers and horses that were originally intimidated by us will inevitably be ready to move. When the time comes, they will wave their army to attack Wagang, will it be difficult for the general to retreat?
Therefore, not only can we not retreat now, but we also have to fight, so that Xingyang County does not dare to move...... At that time, even if the general retreats to Wagang, the people of the world will not say anything. Not only will he not say it, but he will also praise the general as a true hero. ”
When Zhai Rang heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
"However, Xingyang has that Li invincible......"
"Hahaha, what can Li Wudi do? No matter how powerful he is, he is just an eagle. Has the general forgotten that in this Xingyang County, the person who is in charge of speaking is Yang Qing. As long as Yang Qing is honest, even if Li Yanqing has the ability, how can he endure me? ”
Zhai Rang couldn't help but nod again and again, "What the Dharma Master said is exactly what I want." ”
However, he changed his words, "But, how to make Yang Qing comply?" ”
"Yang Qing, rat ears!" Li Mi laughed, "I have a plan, but Yang Qing doesn't dare to face it." ”
There was a strong sense of confidence in those words.
The atmosphere in the hall was originally a little low, but after Li Mi's words, everyone felt invigorated. Zhai Rang was slightly unhappy in his heart. It's just that at such times, he can't have seizures. I had to hold back my anger, nodded slightly, and praised it.
In his heart, there was a trace of vigilance against Li Mi......
****
Tiger Prison Pass. It has become the seat of governance of Xingyang County, just like the provincial capital of later generations. Originally, the seat of Xingyang County was in Xingyang, but due to the special status of the Tiger Prison Pass and the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, the Tiger Pass was easily controlled by the rebels, which made Yang Guang very dissatisfied. If the tiger is not broken, Xingyang is safe; Xingyang is safe, then the east is peaceful; The eastern capital is peaceful, then Guanzhong, peaceful!
The relationship between the Tiger Prison Pass is very important, so at the end of the tenth year of the Great Cause, that is, after Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, the Tiger Prison Pass became the seat of Xingyang County.
Yang Qing, who is over forty years old, has already gone through the years of burning passion.
His son is a coward.
After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he was known for his strictness.
Even his son was affected by the severity of his harshness. Guan Wang Yang Hong was born timid, but because of this, he was terrified and finally died of depression. Yang Qing also inherited Yang Hong's timid inheritance very well, and he did not seek merit in everything, but he sought no fault, and he was just a child.
In Xingyang for three years, there was no merit.
However, his life is good, and nothing major has happened in Xingyang County in three years. The five major military governments are in charge, which makes Xingyang County very calm. Now there are thieves everywhere, and the rebel ant thieves are one after another. However, Xingyang presents a scene of great governance and is thriving.
This also made Luoyang have an illusion: Yang Qing is really capable!
As a result, not long after Yang Qing took over the Xingyang County Guard, he obtained the military position of the metropolitan governor to control the military and political affairs in the Xingyang area...... Knowing that Jindi Pass was lost, Yang Qing was stunned.
The first reaction was to abandon the city and leave. Because of the loss of Jindi Pass, Tiger Prison Pass will inevitably become the first target of the Wagang Army.
"Governor, you can't go!"
The staff stopped Yang Qing, who was trying to give the order to abandon the city, "Your departure will inevitably expose the entire Xingyang to the eyes of the thieves." If the tiger prison is there, Luokou is safe, Gongxian is safe, half of Xingyang is safe, and the gateway to the eastern capital is still there; But if the tiger is dead, the entire Xingyang will fall into the hands of thieves. At that time, the ant thieves will inevitably threaten the Eastern Capital, and how will the Grand Governor face the wrath of the Holy Thunder? ”
The emperor gave you all the east gate of Luoyang, and you left without even seeing the shadow of the thief.
That's the emperor, if he turns his face, even if you are a clan, it will be useless. He would dare to kill even his own brother, let alone you?
Yang Qing was desperate for thought, and said in a panic: "Then what should we do?" ”
"It is imperative to understand the movements of the ant thieves.
At the same time, he urgently recruited the guard Sima to return and assist in guarding the tiger prison. Moreover, General Li Lang and General Pei Lang will also come, and even if they can't hold it at that time, the Metropolitan Governor can also entrust others. But for now, it's still necessary to figure out the movements of the ant thieves before making other plans. ”
That doesn't sound bad!
It is the duty of the military government to resist the thieves and protect the peace of the place.
Now that the six major military generals are not in the Tiger Prison, if the court asks for the guilt, it is naturally Yang Qing who bears the brunt; But if there is a military general, wouldn't there be a scapegoat? When the time comes, let them guard the tiger prison, and retreat to Xingyang County or Gong County, and the blame will be attributed to the military general, if they repel the thieves, the credit will belong to them...... However, before the military soldiers arrived, he had to make sure that the tiger was not lost.
Yang Qing's ability is not very good, but this way of being an official is clearly calculated.
After Li Yanqing and Pei Xingyan got rid of Zhai Rang's pursuit, they were still on their way to the Tiger Prison. Originally, it was only half a journey from Jindi Pass to Tiger Prison Pass. However, due to the loss of Jindi Pass, Yanqing and they had to bypass Jishui and pass through Xingyang County to reach the Tiger Prison. In this way, the distance is increased by half at once, so that the time is also extended accordingly.
Yang Qing spent half a day in panic.
But with the arrival of a letter, he finally settled down.
Li Mi sent a letter in which he said: The reason why we attacked Jindi Pass was not to offend the majesty of the Grand Duke.
It was only because there was not much grain and grass on the mountain that he had no choice but to ask the governor for help.
Therefore, please hold up your noble hand and do not blame us. As long as the Metropolitan can give us some support, we will immediately retreat. Of course, if the Metropolitan is in trouble, we can get it elsewhere. But no matter what, it will never offend the Tiger Prison, please rest assured.
Between words, he was extremely humble and submissive.
After Yang Qing read it, he also felt very comfortable.
Li Mi's meaning is very clear, that is, you don't come to trouble us, and I won't trouble you. I'll get a supplement at the nearest Jindiguan, and of course we won't mind if you are willing to offer it. When we've had enough, we'll naturally retreat.
"These ant thieves are also interesting!"
Yang Qing smiled and said to his staff: "Since this is the case, then we will strictly guard the city to prevent them from sneaking attack...... Well, pass on my order, the soldiers and horses of all provinces in Xingyang are not allowed to go to war without authorization. If anyone dares to go to war, he will be dealt with for disobeying military orders, and he will be beheaded on the spot! ”
In Yang Qing's heart, Xingyang's safety is a fart.
If the Wagang army has the ability, they will take as much as they want.
As long as they don't come and provoke me, I won't provoke them...... As soon as this military order came out, it caused an uproar up and down the tiger prison.
After Li Yanqing and Pei Xingyan rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass, they still swore that they wanted to recapture the Golden Causeway Pass. How do you know that as soon as you arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, you will hear such an order. Pei Xing immediately went violent, angrily wanting to rush into the county guard mansion and argue with Yang Qing.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing hugged him.
"Tiger, don't be reckless, you are still a guilty body now, don't give the Metropolitan Governor an excuse."
Dude, you've lost the Golden Causeway!
If you run in and argue with Yang Qing now, aren't you killing yourself?
Li Yanqing knew Pei Xingyan's surname too well, and if he was allowed to meet Yang Qing, the two would definitely quarrel. At this time, if Pei Xingyan angered Yang Qing, then Yang Qing would not give him any good face. Even if Pei Xingyan's Laozi was the general of the Left Prison Gate, Yang Qing would still kill Pei Xingyan. And Bae In-ki has absolutely nothing to say...... After all, Pei Xingyan lost Jindi Pass, which was the crime of killing his head.
"But how could he let the ant thieves do their bidding?"
Pei Xingyan was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and said angrily: "Although the ant thief is powerful, he is not worried. If the Metropolitan Governor can give you and me 3,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely set foot on the Jindi Pass. ”
Li Yanqing was also angry, "You are powerful, you have the ability, you are invincible in the world...... In that case, how did you lose the Golden Causeway? ”
"I ......"
Pei Xing was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.
Li Yanqing took a deep breath and knocked Pei Xingyan's head with the tip of his bow: "Fight the battlefield, fight between the two formations, and take the head of the general in the million army, I am not as good as you; You can fight, and you don't have to be brave to win. You have also been familiar with military books since you were a child, why don't you use your head well? Since the Metropolitan Governor has this order, he must have been influenced by some outside world, how can you change it? ”
"But ......"
"No, but you will come with me to meet the Grand Duke, and when the time comes, you will do what I want you to do.
Even if you are not convinced, or feel uncomfortable in your heart, you have to listen to me. Only in this way can we keep it for a long time. ”
Pei Xingyan glared at Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing looked at him without showing weakness.
After a while, Pei Xingyan smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "Okay, I'll listen to you...... But let's be clear, I'm not afraid of him. ”
Yan Qing smiled!
"Okay, I know you're not afraid, but from now on, you have to listen to me, or I'll tell your sister."
Pei Xingyan scolded angrily: "Li Yanqing, you go and die." ”
Yan Qing smiled: "If I die, I will drag you with me." Let's go, I want to come to the Metropolitan Governor in the mansion, and I've been waiting for us for a long time......"
With that, he walked towards the county guard's mansion.
Whether he was willing or not, Pei Xingyan could only sigh and follow Li Yanqing towards the county guard's mansion.
