Chapter 57: The Eastern Capital III
readx;
There is a Qin Qiong in Yangcheng, and that is a master who has been through a hundred battles!
Even if Li Yanqing had a big victory over Qin Qiong, he won because of an ambush. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If he really fights face-to-face, when Qin Qiong opens the Eight Winds Camp to fight, Yan Qing is sure to win, but he needs to pay a heavy price. But Wang Shichong actually defeated Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?
Previously, Wang Shichong lost consecutive battles, and later won and lost each other.
It's not that Li Yanqing looks down on Wang Shichong.
If Wang Shichong concentrates his forces, and Yangcheng County has no reinforcements, it is indeed possible to defeat Qin Qiong. But the question is, Wang Shichong collected his troops to rest some time ago, why did he suddenly occupy Yangcheng County without warning? There's only one answer! Wang Shichong used the plan...... The question is again, Qin Qiong is so easy to fall for the scheme? There is also a Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng in Yangcheng County, and he is not a vegetarian. Although Wei Zheng is positioned as a direct minister in the history books, his strategy is not particularly promoted.
However, before the Xuanwumen Change, Wei Zheng had served as Li Jiancheng's mastermind, and bluntly said that Li Jiancheng would strike first.
From this point of view, Wei Zheng should be a person who can see the current situation clearly, distinguish clearly, and have an extremely decisive surname.
With such a person to assist Qin Qiong, Wang Shichong was able to easily seize Yangcheng County?
If Wang Shichong really had this ability, there would not have been a fiasco in Jiashizihe......
How did he win the victory? This is the first question that arises in Li Yanqing's heart; Second, according to the report of Tanma, the rebels in Yangcheng did not retreat in the direction of Xinzheng after the defeat. And if Qin Qiong is fooled, after Yangcheng County is lost, the rebels should retreat to Xinzheng County. Because Xinzheng County still has Cheng Biting Jin's Huozi Battalion out of the town, the two converge together, and it may not be possible to recapture Yangcheng.
However, the rebels did not retreat to Xinzheng, but moved in the direction of the eastern capital.
Isn't this looking for death?
As for the third question, that is, where is Wang Shichong now?
After he led his troops around the Nine Mountains, he suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown......
However, it was the words 'whereabouts unknown' that brought huge pressure to Li Yanqing.
Could it be that Wang Shichong wants to take the opportunity to break through the Black Stone Pass? It seems unlikely! If Wang Shichong had the guts, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now? In the past, Yanqing was only an eagle general, and if Wang Shichong really attacked Heishi Pass, he might not be able to get his explanation back. After all, Wang Shichong is his superior, and Luoyang stays behind to rank the four grades, if he forcibly passes, it can be justified in terms of reason.
But now?
Li Yanqing, as the ambassador of Henan's arrest, has a rank of three grades.
It is two ranks higher than Wang Shichong. If Wang Shichong wanted to attack Heishi Pass, it would be easy for Li Yanqing to kill him.
Wang Shichong's 'unknown whereabouts' did give Li Yanqing a headache!
He immediately ordered Du Ruhui and Wang Fubao to rush back to Heishi Pass overnight in the wind and rain to observe the specific situation.
At the same time, Li Yanqing ordered the eldest grandson Wuji Su Yong to return to Gong County. In the event of a war at Heishi Pass, Gong County can give the most rapid support.
"Li Langjun, I want to go to Heishi Pass."
Li Yanqing frowned, stared at Li Daoxuan and said, "Ming said that you still have homework in the Qilin Pavilion, you should return to Gongxian County immediately." ”
"But I want to go to Blackstone Pass!"
Li Daoxuan's face was pleading, which was difficult to refuse.
Du Ruhui suddenly spoke, "Since Xiao Li Langjun wants to go to Heishi Pass to have a look, it's not impossible." Xiao Li Langjun's homework is not bad, and now he only lacks some experience. Lord, if you don't let him go with me and take a look. It's just that when I arrived at Heishi Pass, Xiao Li Langjun should obey my dispatch. You know, military law is ruthless. The military discipline of the Black Stone Mansion is strict, and there are 17 forbidden laws and 54 slashes, if one is violated, even if the lord pleads for mercy, it is useless. You can go if you want to, but when you get to Blackstone Pass, you must follow my orders. ”
These seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four slashes were not invented by Li Yanqing.
It seems that there is no way to verify the specific year and month of appearance. According to legend, the earliest version is supposed to be the military rules set by Han Shin after paying homage to the general.
A total of 17 articles and 54 military orders.
Violating any military order is the end of beheading.
However, it is also quite difficult to implement the 17 prohibitions and 54 slashes. If it is exactly according to the content, I am afraid that no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they will have to be killed.
Therefore, Du Ruhui's statement of the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings is more of an element of intimidation.
When Li Daoxuan heard that Du Ruhui agreed to let him go, he could take care of a lot, and he gave his hand to Du Ruhui again and again, causing everyone in the hall to laugh.
Seeing Du Ruhui nodding, Yan Qing couldn't say anything more.
For Li Daoxuan, he still likes it. This kid is not very old, but he is very smart. And he is quite quick and wise, and can draw inferences. Even if he is as strict as Xu Wenyuan, the director of the Qilin Pavilion, he is very satisfied with Li Daoxuan. During the conversation, there was a faint meaning of accepting Li Daoxuan as a closed disciple.
"Lord, it is the eagle that will fly sooner or later.
You always restrain him, seemingly caring about him, but in fact you are harming him. Let him go out and have a look, it will definitely not hurt him.
Moreover, Lao Du is shrewd and decisive. With him taking care of Dao Xuan, there will never be any mistakes. ”
Chai Xiaohe's persuasion with a smile finally relieved Yanqing.
However, he gave Li Daoxuan another advice, which made him follow Du Ruhui and Wang Fubao and set off overnight. Du Ruhui left, and the eldest grandson Wuji also returned to Gong County. But the uneasiness in Li Yanqing's heart became stronger and stronger.
There's definitely something in there!
It is impossible for Wang Shichong to seize Yangcheng County easily, and Qin Qiong will not go to the eastern capital to die for no reason.
But what is the inevitable connection between the two? Wang Shichong disappeared near Jiushan, what is his true intention?
Raising his head, Li Yanqing put out the doubts in his heart one by one.
Chai Xiaohe and Xue Shui couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"With such a big snowstorm, Wang Shichong can't stay in Yangcheng County to rest, what does it mean to run here to play missing?
Is this guy making a show? In order to make us nervous? But why? What good is it for him to tease us like this? ”
Xue Shui muttered to himself, his fingers quickly tapping on the armrest of the rosewood chair.
Chai Xiaohe hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "Lord, do you think they will join forces?" ”
"Who's teaming up?"
"Wang Shichong and Li Mi!"
Xue Shui immediately shook his head, "How is this possible?" Wang Shichong and Li Mi...... Hehe, Chai Gong, it's not that I want to refute, it's just that the two of them have a deep hatred in the Jiashizi River. In the previous bloody battles, Wang Shichong was defeated several times, and Li Mi also lost his troops, how could the two of them join forces? ”
"Why can't it be?"
Li Yanqing suddenly spoke.
Xue Shu was stunned and looked at Yan Qing in surprise.
Li Yanqing didn't seem to pay attention to his gaze, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "In this world, nothing is impossible.
What is the deep hatred between Li Mi and Wang Shichong? But each for his own master!
As long as there is enough interest...... The two of them could join forces. If they have already formed an alliance, then Yangcheng County was suddenly attacked by Wang Shichong to explain it clearly. It's just that the rebels did not retreat to Xinzheng, but moved to the eastern capital, and I haven't come up with an answer yet.
Wang Shichong pretended to be suspicious and attracted my attention. In this way, I will inevitably spend my energy in the Black Rock Pass, and I will not be able to ......."
Yan Qing said this and closed his mouth.
He opened his eyes and looked at Chai Xiao, Xue Shu and the others, his eyes were extremely bright.
"Tiger Prison!"
Chai Xiaohe and Xue Shui were almost in unison, and said an answer that was the same as what Yan Qing thought in his heart.
That's right, it's Tiger Prison!
Li Yanqing rubbed his cheeks vigorously and let out a sigh of relief.
"Sound from east to west? Or is it a false one? ”
Wang Shichong was suspicious outside Heishi Pass, which aroused Li Yanqing's suspicion and made him focus his attention on Wang Shichong. But in fact, it was Li Mi who attacked the Tiger Prison. With such a big snowstorm, no one would have thought that Li Mi would attack at this time. If Li Yanqing also thinks so, he wants to think about the thoughts of Xin Wenli and others...... It should be the same. In this way, the tiger prison is in danger!
"Immediately order the troops and horses, and rush to the tiger prison with me overnight."
Yan Qing immediately ordered, and Luo Shixin and the others turned around and left at the order.
"Wait!"
Xue Shui and Chai Xiaohe spoke at the same time again.
The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.
"Xue Dalang, please speak." Chai Xiaohe doesn't need to steal the limelight.
However, he knew that Xue Shui had already preliminarily recognized him. Judging from his reactions just now, Xue Shu was obviously much more enthusiastic than before.
At the same time, Chai Xiaohe was also secretly surprised.
I have studied hard for more than ten years and experienced many ups and downs, and this experience and vision have been honed from failure after failure. But how old is Xue Shu? His intelligence, his reactions, his astuteness, are even better than his own. If it is said in time, this person will become a great man.
The children of this world are really unusual.
It is worthy of being from the Xue family, and it is also worthy of being valued by Li Langjun.
Xue Shu said: "There is a question, I want to come to Chai Gong and I think the same. Wang Shichong is the kind of person who can't afford to be unprofitable, and he braved such a heavy snowstorm to assist Li Mi in capturing the tiger prison. And what about him? What's in it for him? It is impossible for him to take such a risk just for the sake of a Yangcheng County. ”
Li Yanqing wants to say: This is a good question!
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Nodding slightly, he expressed his approval of Xue Shu's words. Then he slowly walked to the door of the lobby with his hands in his hands, stood on the steps, and stared at the night sky, fluttering and falling snowflakes.
After a long time, Li Yanqing reflexively said: "No matter what Wang Shichong's intentions are, we must be prepared.
Luo Shixin ordered the Eight Winds Camp and rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass with me, and Lao Xue went with me...... However, Blackstone Pass must also be on guard. Chai Gong, I invite you to sit in Luokoucang, and the governor is fighting on both sides. Regardless of the fierce fighting over there, it is up to you to decide and allocate your troops...... Chai Gong, can Li trust you? ”
Just this sentence, only Chai Xiaohe was stirred in his heart.
He prostrated in front of Li Yanqing, "Chai Xiaohe is so entrusted by the lord, dare not to repay the lord's trust?" ”
Yan Qing helped Chai Xiaohe up, and then looked around at everyone in the hall.
"Mighty sea, take me with a silver whip."
Xiong Kuohai agreed, and after a while, he walked to the hall with Yanqing's silver whip.
"I will hand it over to Chai Gong with this whip, no matter who it is, if you dare to disobey the military order, you can be killed on the spot."
Chai Xiaohe took the silver whip and were speechless with excitement.
"Chai Gong, my family is old and young, and I will entrust it to you!"
"Rest assured, Chai Xiaohe will not fail in his mission."
"Big black son, set off with me. Kan Ling Zheng Dabiao, the two of you stayed in Luokoucang, and obeyed the dispatch of Chai Gong as soon as you responded to the matter. ”
All the generals in the hall agreed in unison.
Li Yanqing put on his helmet and armor, stepped on the elephant dragon horse led by Liang Laoshi, and led 8,000 men and horses to rush out of the Luokoucang camp.
At this time, the wind and snow are raging......
******
The night was already very deep, and the forest lake in Xingyang Cave was white.
A horse-drawn carriage followed a secluded path to the corner gate of the county guard's house. The coachman jumped off his horse and helped a white-haired old man out of the car.
Then he stepped forward and tapped on the knocker, and in a moment there was a faint cursing sound from behind the corner door.
"It's so late, who!"
As he spoke, a crack opened in the corner door, and a head poked out from behind the door.
"What for?"
As soon as he was tired and the steward said, he said that Zheng Xiaoqing, the old man of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, had something important to ask to see King Xun. The stakes are very high, please be accommodating. ”
As he spoke, the coachman flipped his hand over, holding a piece of yellow horseshoe gold in his palm.
Menzi's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little moved.
However, on the surface, he still made a casual appearance, opened the door and stretched out his hand to sink the horseshoe gold into his sleeve, and then said: "Wait here, I'll go and pass it." It's just that it's so late, whether the prince will agree to see you, I can't say. I'll do my best, though. ”
"So, thank you."
It's just a small door, so what's the point of doing business?
It's just that the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the dog fights the human power.
He couldn't even see Yang Qing, so he had to find someone to go over and talk to him. But at this time, as long as he is willing to run errands, it is possible to succeed, right?
The corner door closed again, and the alley fell into darkness.
"Master, it's cold outside, why don't you wait in the car?"
"Heh, this little bit of snow is nothing. I'm just waiting here, thinking that when Yang Qing hears my name, he will also give me some thin noodles. ”
Yes, the patriarch of the first Xingyang family, Yang Qing did not dare to offend.
After a while, the corner door opened.
It's just that the person who came out was replaced by an old man.
"Dare to ask, is that Zheng Langjun?"
"Oh, I'm Zheng Xiaoqing."
"The prince is invited...... But you're the only one to come in. ”
"Thank you so much, Lord Wang."
After that, Zheng Xiaoqing turned his head to the coachman and said, "Dog, just wait here, don't walk around, do you understand?" ”
The coachman said yes and retreated to the side of the carriage.
Zheng Xiaoqing followed the old steward into the mansion, walked along the winding corridor, and soon came to the door of a house.
The old steward knocked lightly on the door, "Lord Wang, Zheng Langjun is here." ”
"Invite him in."
The old steward said yes and opened the door.
A wave of warmth poured out, and he saw Yang Qing sitting in his clothes, and when he saw Zheng Xiaoqing, he bowed slightly, "Zheng Gong came to the door so late, I don't know what advice I have?" ”
When Zheng Xiaoqing walked into the room, Yang Qing said to the old housekeeper: "Yang Zheng, I have something to talk to Zheng Langjun here, don't let people disturb me." Look out there and don't let people get closer, you know? ”
The old steward respectfully agreed, and then gently closed the door.
He sat down on the porch railing, curled up, his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking left and right. After a while, he suddenly got up, raised his feet, and walked lightly to the door, his ears pressed against the crack in the door to listen secretly, and his old face, full of twists and turns, gradually changed color.
