Chapter 1245: Walking is the best policy

readx; Huang Degong forcibly grabbed carrier pigeons from the military department, and Cao Wenzhao and others were taken aback. www.biquge.info Although Huang Degong's starting point was good, it can be said that he helped the Guanning Iron Cavalry and solved the crisis that they had no carrier pigeons, but this move seriously violated military discipline, and it is not an exaggeration to label him a rebel. Weng Yu and Huang Degong had a very close relationship, and they were so anxious that they turned around and said: "How is this good!" I usually repeatedly advise you to eat less alcohol, but you just don't listen! ”

At this time, Huang Degong's wine also woke up for most of the time, and he knew that he had caused a big disaster, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but trickle down. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "The thing was done by me Huang Degong, but the carrier pigeon is now here with General Cao, and it is very unfavorable to Guan Ning Tieqi." Simply General Cao sent me back to the military headquarters with rope ties, anyway, you didn't know about it, it's a big deal that my Huang Chuangzi lost his head, and he couldn't affect the innocent. ”

"Where did Brother Huang say come from!" Cao Wenzhao was deeply moved, and said categorically, "You made a move to help me, although there is something wrong, but in the final analysis, you want to play the situation here to the Holy Lord as soon as possible." If I, Cao Wenzhao, make a turtle with a shrunken head and sacrifice you, what face will I have to order the whole army and what face will I have to return to the saint? ”

"What should I do if the military department comes to the door?" Huang Degong said anxiously, "Aren't I causing trouble for General Cao?" ”

Everyone was worried, and suddenly Weng Yu patted his head and said, "By the way, General Cao, isn't the will of the Holy Lord to let you control the officers and soldiers of the guards in Nanjing?" Then Huang Degong's group should naturally be controlled by General Cao. ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly asked: "That's what I said, but what should I do?" ”

"Thirty-six strategies, go is the best policy." Weng Yu smiled slightly, "According to the opinion of the last general, General Cao might as well leave the carrier pigeons to go to the Beijing Division, and the rest of the pigeon cages will be secretly thrown into the street." Huang Degong immediately left the city and led his troops to cross the river and go north. You don't have to go too far, just leave for dozens of miles. If the military department asked, General Cao said that Huang Degong was eager to fight and sent him to crusade against the rebels. Do these guards and soldiers in Nanjing still dare to go out of the city to catch up? Neither can catch people, General Cao only ignores the pigeon matter, and the Ministry of Forgiveness is helpless. ”

"Good strategy!" Several people shouted at the same time, and Huang Degong even jumped three feet high, "To be honest, patrolling the river every day these days is about to suffocate me to death, making it clear that the rebels dare not come to Nanjing!" I haven't only walked dozens of miles, but I simply led the troops to really crusade against the rebels, and made a few more military exploits, and it was easy for him to talk to the saint when he fought the lawsuit in the future! ”

"In this case, you can go to Chuzhou first." Weng Yu suggested, "Chuzhou is less than 100 miles northwest of Nanjing, and further north from Chuzhou is the area where the rebels are active. As long as Chuzhou is not lost, the rebels will not want to threaten Nanjing from the northwest. Moreover, there are many pastures in Chuzhou, and since the Hongwu period, the imperial court has raised military horses in its place. If I were a rebel general, I would definitely occupy this important place first, and seize the military horses, which would be even more confusing. ”

Cao Wenzhao is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and after thinking about it, he immediately decided: "Just follow Weng's garrison strategy, Brother Huang, you immediately cross the river to Chuzhou now, and the matter here is on me." After arriving in Chuzhou, as long as you hold the city, after all, you only have more than 2,000 people, most of them are still foot troops, and I am afraid that you will suffer losses in the field battle with a large number of rebels. ”

The plan was decided, and everyone immediately split up. An hour later, Hu Yingtai, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, really went to Cao Wenzhao's army in person, saying that Huang Degong was drunk and made trouble in the military department, and someone saw him coming here and hoped that Cao Wenzhao would hand him over.

Of course, Cao Wenzhao didn't know anything, and insisted that Huang Degong had never been here at all. Hu Yingtai asked the carrier pigeon again, Cao Wenzhao pretended to be stupid, and deliberately said that the carrier pigeon in the army did not know what to eat and did not digest it, and all of them died, and asked Hu Yingtai to provide the carrier pigeon to him.

Hu Yingtai has a ghost in his heart, how dare he ask deeply. As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you want to take money, after all, Huang Degong was not blocked on the spot, Cao Wenzhao came to Nanjing by order, and nominally he could control all the officials and troops in Nanjing, and he did not dare to forcibly search the military camp of Guanning Iron Cavalry. had to say goodbye and go straight to Huang Degong's military camp by the river, but he didn't know that it was already empty. After inquiring, I learned that Huang Degong had just led his men and horses to cross the river to the north, and it was said that he was still under the order of Cao Wenzhao.

Hu Yingtai knew that he had been fooled, and in a fit of rage, he immediately went to find Cao Wenzhao aggressively. Unexpectedly, Cao Wenzhao could not see the guest under the pretext of the recurrence of the old injury, so he only let Cao Bianjiao come out to deal with it. Hu Yingtai put Cao Bianjiao in his eyes, and immediately asked: "When the official came, didn't Deputy Chief Cao say that Huang Degong hadn't come?" Why did Huang Degong cross the river again on the order of Deputy General Cao? ”

Cao Bianjiao said with a wicked smile on his face: "Lord Shangshu is angry. Yes, my uncle just said that Huang Degong has never been here. However, what you kept asking was whether Huang Degong had been here just now, and my uncle replied that Huang Degong had not been here today. But Huang Degong did come yesterday, and he asked his uncle for orders to go to the rebels, and his uncle thought that his courage was commendable, so he approved. I thought he would have to prepare for a few days, but who knew he was in such a hurry. ”

"You... Why didn't you just say it earlier?! Hu Yingtai was angry.

"Lord Shangshu didn't ask just now!" Cao Bianjiao still said with a wicked smile on his face, "Besides, according to the will, Huang Degong's ministry was originally under the control of my uncle, and for such trivial military affairs, it seems that my uncle doesn't need to report everything to Lord Shangshu, right?" ”

Hu Yingtai almost didn't let Cao Bianjiao choke to death, and just wanted to have a seizure, when he suddenly saw the other Guanning Iron Cavalry Military Academy in the military tent glaring at him angrily, and some of them pressed the hilt of their swords. Hu Yingtai immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that these Qiu Ba were murderous demon kings on the battlefield in Liaodong, and now they had a holy decree to protect themselves, and if they didn't say a word, they might be able to slaughter themselves. The hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss, so let's get out of here first.

In fact, half an hour before Hu Yingtai came, Cao Wenzhao had already written a secret recital and sent it to Beijing with three carrier pigeons. In the secret recital, he not only described in detail how the civil and military officials in Nanjing disobeyed the yang and refused to accept moderation, but also specially defended Huang Degong and asked the emperor not to surrender his guilt. And he also has an extra eye, using "top secret" level ciphertext encryption.

The straight-line distance from Nanjing to Jingshi is about 1,700 li. A day later, the Commander's Driver Division had already received a summons. But after deciphering it, it was still a messy and meaningless text, and the cabinet officials did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the original secret letter to the imperial camp.

A few hours later, Zhu Youzhen finished reading the secret letter that had been deciphered by the red lady herself, sat with frowns for a long time, and said to himself: "This is what you forced me to do!" ”
