Chapter 740: A Difficult Decision
The seventh day of the ninth month, Yanbei, Huaihuang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The king of Qi oversaw the army in a hurry, and rushed to Huaihuang in a hurry, and met Wei Fusi, Li Shanheng and 600 horsemen, who had been waiting on the swallow plain.
King Qi was very excited, very excited, after crossing the Great Wall, galloping on horseback, feeling like an eagle escaping from the cage, from now on he could fight in the sky, soar freely, the mood is indescribable, but Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng still saw a touch of gloom, a trace of panic and a little pain in his eyes.
Looking at the clear blue sky and the empty grassland, King Qi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then asked eagerly, "Have you ever seen white hair?" ”
Wei Fusi nodded, "The white hair went north on the fifth day of the first month, and the Duke of Jianchang (Li Zixiong) left Huaihuang on the sixth day of the first month, if nothing else, they will join forces in two days and kill the Lightning River." ”
"The soldiers are fast." King Qi was appreciative, "If the Duke of Jianchang hadn't sacked the Quang Ninh treasury, their advance might have been faster. ”
"The king has misunderstood." Li Shanheng said with a smile.
King Qi's eyes showed a suspicious look.
"The reason why the Duke of Jianchang plundered the treasury of Guangning was not to fight out of the fortress, but so that the king could quickly gain a foothold in Yanbei and not be controlled by others and passive everywhere." Li Shanheng raised his hand and pointed to the tent that was faintly visible in the distance, "The Guangning Treasury is there." It is precisely because of the existence of these reservoirs that we dare not leave Yanziyuan and dare not go to Yehuling to greet the king. ”
When King Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, "I see, it's very good." Lone was worried about the grain and grass, but he didn't expect that Jianchang Gong would take precautions and have already calculated, and easily solved Lone's urgent need. ”
When Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng heard this, they immediately realized that something had changed. Regarding the issue of supplying grain and grass to the King of Qi, the Yin Shishi had already made a promise before, because the Guangning treasury was tragically looted by the rebels and needed to be re-transported from Youzhou, and the transfer would take time, so the Yin Shishi specially ordered Wu Benlang to send Zhao Shizhu and Wu Yalang to break the Liuhan Maha in the name of the Liushou Mansion, and immediately temporarily transfer a batch of grain and grass weapons from the Great Wall defense line and the reserve depot of Huaihuang Town to the King of Qi to meet the needs of the King of Qi Yanbei to suppress the thieves. Now King Qi said with a pun that he was frowning about the grain and grass, obviously alluding to it.
Wei Fusi immediately turned his eyes to Li Baiyao, who was standing behind King Qi, and asked in a cold voice, "Is it the Yin World Master who rebelled, or did Zhao Shizhu get in the way?" ”
Although the Yin Shishi has clearly informed the King of Qi that Duan Da, who was left behind in Zhuo County, has asked the Holy Lord to transfer Wu Benlang to transfer Zhao Shizhu back to Youzhou, and is fully responsible for the safety of the Holy Lord and the palace, but the Yin Shishi has just arrived, and the situation in Yanbei is very complicated, plus to drive the rebels out of the fortress and protect the King of Qi to patrol the border, it will definitely be powerless, and it is inevitable to need Zhao Shizhu's help, so Zhao Shizhu will not leave the Great Wall in the short term, and he can still give King Qi a little help, of course, the premise is that Zhao Shizhu is willing to help.
"The king arrived at the Great Wall, but he didn't see Wu Benlang and Zhao Shizhu." Li Baiyao was concise and to the point, revealing the truth in one sentence.
Obviously, Zhao Shizhu saw that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong were out of the jam, and the situation in Yanbei quickly reversed, so he immediately made a choice, absolutely not to contact the King of Qi, and resolutely draw a clear line, so that his tacit understanding in the early stage to "cooperate" with Li Zixiong's actions can be interpreted as following the orders of the left-behind mansion to carry out the plan of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf and killing people with a knife, which is not only no fault but meritorious.
Since Zhao Shizhu has made a choice, of course he will not take the initiative to meet the King of Qi, and if the King of Qi takes the initiative to summon him, he will also shirk in every possible way, coupled with the fierce contradictions and conflicts between him and the Yin World Master, it is not difficult to speculate that even if Zhao Shizhu receives the order of the Yin World Master, he will disobey the Yin and the Yin, perfunctory, and even refuse directly under various excuses.
King Qi was very disappointed, he had high hopes for Zhao Shizhu before, thinking that the person recommended by Li Zixiong should not be wrong, so he was very angry after hearing that the Yin Shishi transferred him away from Yanbei, who expected that Lang had no intention of having a concubine, and Zhao Shizhu did not "bird" him at all. And what is especially hateful is that after seeing Zhao Shizhu's "bad" attitude towards King Qi, Maha seemed to have a "deep understanding", although he was still impeccable in speech and etiquette, he also violated the yang and yin in specific things. It stands to reason that since Maha Maha of the Sixth Han has the authorization of the Yin Shishi and has taken on the heavy responsibility of the Great Wall on behalf of Zhao Shizhu, he can use the power in his hands to urgently transfer a batch of grain, grass and weapons from the treasury reserves of the Great Wall defense line to the King of Qi, but he even politely refused the reasonable request of the King of Qi to give a batch of military supplies before leaving the Great Wall on the grounds that Zhao Shizhu had not left the Great Wall defense line and had not yet officially handed over to him>
"Sticking" the neck "stuck" to this, "bullying" King Qi "bullying" to such an extent can be regarded as bold. Who gave them the guts? It must be Zhuojun who stayed behind Duan Da. Who gave Duan Da such a bold son? That's only the Holy Lord.
Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. Now that the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong are out of the jam, the situation in Yanbei will soon recover, and the calculation of killing people with a knife is successful, and the Holy Lord and the palace will soon return to the Eastern Capital, and their influence on Youyan will be weak, and then Youyan will be controlled by Duan Da and Yin Shishi, but Duan Da and Yin Shishi will curb the growth of King Qi, plus Zhao Shizhu, who is in charge of Youzhou's suppression, can't count on it, the overall situation is still unfavorable to King Qi, unless Li Fengyun captures Anzhou and holds on to Anzhou for a long time, Change the situation in Youyan and even the entire Northeast Xinjiang, otherwise the future is not optimistic.
What they thought of, of course the king of Qi also thought of, so now the king of Qi is most concerned about whether Er Li can capture Anzhou, this is a pivotal matter, related to his future prospects, and he must do his best, so when the king of Qi heard that the Guangning treasury looted by Li Zixiong was prepared for him, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately thought of a serious question, did Er Li bring enough grain and grass weapons?
"We're out of the jam, and we're both feet outside the Great Wall, so don't think about things inside the Great Wall for the time being." King Qi shook his hand at Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, signaling them not to dwell on the details, "Gu wants to know, does the white hair have enough grain and grass weapons?" ”
"The king is too worried." Wei Fusi smiled, "The white hair plans and then acts, and it is amazing. ”
King Qi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Could it be that he had a premeditated plan?" ”
Wei Fusi nodded, "We all underestimated him, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense." Wen Xigong (Pei Shiju) has been carefully laid out for so many years, and the white hair is Wen Xigong's right-hand man, of course, there is a series of secret deployments outside the plug, and the number of hands behind it is unimaginable. ”
Then Wei Fusi "ate" Li Fengyun the border market merchants in one bite, and used the wealth of the border market as bait to "eat" the horse thieves and thieves in one bite, and then integrated the horse thieves and thieves to quickly form a horse army.
The king of Qi will be skeptical. If Li Fengyun succeeds, it will be amazing, too incredible, it is enough to prove one thing, as Wei Fusi said, Pei Shiju has been planning for this for many years, it can be said that it is foolproof, and Anzhou is bound to win.
"In this way, Bai Fa not only solved the problem of grain and grass, solved the problem of the army and civilians, but also conjured a brave and warlike horse army overnight."
When he said this, King Qi himself didn't believe it, but Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng were convinced, because they saw Li Fengyun quietly "devouring" the border market, making the impossible possible. This is a miracle in itself, and Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng still do not understand how Li Fengyun won the trust of those Han captives and merchants, and persuaded them to willingly and scramble to attack Anzhou together.
Seeing Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng's natural expressions, King Qi had to force himself to accept this unbelievable "miracle", "If this is the case, the white hair has a better chance of winning, but then they will have to confront the Turks head-on, and only by breaking through the resistance of the Turks, crossing the Lightning River, and crossing the flat pine forest, can they set foot in Anzhou, and only then can they capture Anzhou." But......" King Qi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his brows furrowed deeply, and his expression was extremely solemn, "How can the Turks let them cross the Lightning River and smash the tooth flag?" ”
"This requires the support of the king, and the king's decision." Wei Fusi stroked his beard and smiled, and said with a pun, "They worked hard to loot the Quang Ninh treasury, and then worked hard to transport it to the outside of the Saiwai, and then gave it to the king, of course, not for no reason. ”
King Qi comprehended, "What kind of decision should Lone make?" ”
Wei Fusi hesitated, this decision is not good, especially for the indecisive and forward-looking King Qi, so he must think of a good rhetoric to ensure that he will not intimidate the King of Qi, but when the words came to his lips, seeing the handsome and delicate face of the King of Qi, Wei Fusi hesitated again, feeling that the words he had prepared in advance might be too tactful, unable to give King Qi a strong impact, and unable to help King Qi make up his mind.
Li Shanheng couldn't help it, and said bluntly, "The king wants to be non-stop, immediately lead the army to follow and kill, and go straight to the Lightning River." ”
King Qi was shocked. Straight to the Lightning River? Wouldn't that be tantamount to provoking a war and deliberately triggering a war between the North and the South? The consequences are too serious for anyone to afford.
Li Shanheng had expected that King Qi would be afraid, and continued, "Great King, if you want to help Bai Fa cross the Lightning River safely, you must contain the Turks, and you must make the Turks dare not attack, and to achieve this goal, the best and most effective way is for the Great King to personally lead the army to kill the Lightning River, directly bringing the relationship between the North and the South to the brink of collapse." In the current situation, who is most afraid of the collapse of North-South relations? Not us, but the Turks. ”
King Qi was expressionless and didn't say a word.
