523 borrowed a knife to kill
By the time Yu Wenxin saw Li Yuanji, it was already five days later, and of course the time in between was used to determine whether Liu Wuzhou would really come.
It's a pity that because of Dou Dan's cynicism, Li Yuanji lost the best opportunity to intercept Liu Wuzhou.
When Yu Wenxin hurried to the governor's mansion again, he only heard the noisy shouting and scolding in the room; When he walked inside a little puzzled, he found that Zhang Da, the general of the cavalry, was pointing fingers at Li Yuanji with red ears and red ears.
As for what the gibberish in his mouth meant, Yu Wenxin couldn't hear it clearly for a while.
Yu Wenxin was confused for a while, and after listening for a while, he learned that it was Li Yuanji who slept with Zhang Da's wife, and the worst thing was that he didn't return it after sleeping, and Zhang Da now broke into the governor's mansion to find his wife.
Li Yuanji pretended to hide it, and innocently said that he didn't have Zhang Da's wife in the house at all, and he had never seen her.
Yu Wenxin is clear about Li Yuanji's scoundrels, and he has also impeached the former for this; But now in addition to condemning Li Yuanji in his heart, in addition to sympathizing with Zhang Da in his heart, what else can he say about this matter?
After all, it was a big matter, and Liu Wuzhou's army was about to come in, and Yu Wenxin only temporarily put aside the jealousy of the two of them, and said loudly after opening the curtain and entering, "Your Highness, my subordinates have urgent matters to report." ”
Li Yuanji usually doesn't have a good face for Yu Wenxin, but the latter seems to have come to relieve him.
Li Yuanji hurriedly nodded to Yu Wenxin and turned to Zhang Dadao, "General Zhang, how about this king deal with it later?" Why don't you avoid it first? ”
In the past few days, Li Yuan has been proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, and the news and honor guard of Li Yuanji being named King of Qi have all arrived in Jinyang, and it is precisely by virtue of this "king" that he has become more and more domineering.
Zhang Da retreated in disagreement, but he was not far away.
Li Yuanji seemed to sigh a sigh of relief, and said to Yuwen Xin with a smile, "General Yuwen is really timely, you are very good." ”
Hearing Li Yuanji say this, Yu Wenxin knew that Zhang Da was not unreasonable, but he still said bluntly, "The subordinates are here to report the whereabouts of Liu Wuzhou's army, and now thousands of bandits have been found in Huangsnake Ridge, Taiyuan is in crisis!" ”
Li Yuanji immediately lost his voice, "Yellow Snake Ridge? ”
Listening to Li Yuanji's attention, Yu Wenxin was somewhat happy, but when he heard the next sentence, Yu Wenxin almost fainted.
"Then I can't go there to hunt?"
The Yellow Snake Ridge is in the southeast of Taiyuan, north of Yuci, the mountains are steep, there have always been wild beasts, Li Yuanji often goes there to hunt.
Yu Wenxin was so angry that he almost went crazy, but it took a while to calm down and say, "Your Highness, there are thousands of bandits, and you can't underestimate them." If we don't send troops to encircle and suppress it in time, Taiyuan will be in danger. ”
"Thousands of bandits, what a way." Li Yuanji pursed his lips and turned to Dou Dan and said, "Cousin, what do you think?" ”
"My subordinates thought that there must be something wrong with this matter! I mean to say, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, Liu Wuzhou only sent a few thousand soldiers to covet Taiyuan, this is not to send death? Dou Dan immediately shook his head, knowing that Jinyang City was defended by 30,000 strong soldiers, how could he put Liu Wuzhou's thousands of soldiers in his eyes?
In the face of Dou Dan's arrogance, Li Yuanji took it as a confidant, but Yu Wenxin had to interject, "The Liu Wu Zhou army waiting for the detection in front may be their vanguard, if they send tens of thousands of troops to take down all the small cities around Jinyang City, Jinyang will become a lonely city, and I am afraid at that time."
"The Art of War, 'Ten Rules of Siege', how many soldiers can Liu Wuzhou afford?" Dou Dan seemed to oppose Yuwen Xin for the sake of opposition, and when he saw that the latter's face was a little ugly, he finally compromised, "Otherwise, or let's send someone to test it?" Yes, he sent Zhang Da to bring 3,000 people, what does His Highness think? ”
Saying such a thing, Dou Dan felt that he was extremely smart, and Yu Wenxin didn't know how to answer for a while.
It was necessary to send people, but now that I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark, is it really good to send only 2,000 men? Dou Dan wouldn't have deliberately sent Zhang Da to death, right?
Li Yuanji nodded appreciatively to Dou Dan, and said with a smile, "Isn't it too much to send three thousand people?" This king thought that it would be almost enough to bring 1,500 people, explore the way, and quickly pass on Zhang Da! ”
In order to curry favor with Li Yuanji, Dou Dan actually came up with this trick of killing people with a knife, and Li Yuanji was very happy, - if Zhang Da died, would his wife dare to resist? Don't you just play how you want?
Zhang Da was originally waiting for Li Yuanji and Yu Wenxin to finish talking about important matters in the courtyard outside the house before asking for someone, just now Li Yuanji and Dou Dan discussed the words to kill him, he didn't hear it, but heard the last sentence.
Suddenly listening to Li Yuanji loudly about himself, Zhang Da thought that Li Yuanji would bring good news to himself, he quickly wiped his tears, and immediately responded, "Zhang Da is here, Your Highness"
As soon as the messenger went out, he heard Zhang Da's response, and he was also happy, and immediately helped him lift the curtain and lead him in.
Li Yuanji thought that Zhang Da was a dead man at the moment, so he didn't put any showmanship on him, but said straight to the point, "Now that Liu Wuzhou has sent one or two thousand bandits to rob our Taiyuan, you are also a soldier to eat food, you should understand the truth of 'soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth', right?" The king now orders you to bring 1,500 men to destroy them, and I believe that you will not disappoint the king!" ”
Li Yuanji directly turned the "thousands of thieves" in Yu Wenxin's mouth into "one or two thousand thieves", and raised the "reconnaissance of thieves" to "exterminate them".
Zhang Da's level is not low, and he has long heard of Liu Wuzhou sending a large army to Koubian, he obviously knows that this matter is dangerous and abnormal, but he also knows that he is a soldier to eat food, and he has something to ask for Li Yuanji.
Almost without any hesitation, Zhang Da agreed, and after thinking for a while, he added, "But there is a small request from the subordinates, can the subordinates meet Xiaolian before sending troops?" ”
The "Little Lotus" in Zhang Da's mouth is naturally his wife, but she was abducted and deceived by Li Yuanji to the mansion two days ago, and she has no whereabouts so far; Zhang Da once thought that his somewhat fierce wife was no longer alive, so he was hot-headed and-for-tat against Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji heard Zhang Da say this, and said in a crackdown on the case, "Zhang Da, what qualifications do you have to talk to this king about requirements?" Even if I play with your wife, I can afford you, not to mention that there is nothing like that! ”
Li Yuanji's words can be described as extremely ugly, there are some things that can be done and not said, and now he has torn his face; Zhang Da is not dependent, even if he has to rush desperately to fight with the former.
Yu Wenxin already understood the beginning and end of the matter at this time, but now that Taiyuan is in danger, he can only avoid the serious.
Yu Wenxin hugged Zhang Da, but Li Yuanji still said aggressively, "Zhang Da, you have two choices now, one is to kill this king, and you will find your Xiaolian in this palace yourself; Or you go to Yellow Snake Ridge and come back with a hundred thieves' heads, and this king promises to return the unscathed little lotus to you! ”
Yu Wenxin frowned secretly, and slandered in his heart that Li Yuanji had gone too far.
Zhang Da looked at Yuwenxin, and then stared at Li Yuanjidao, "Your Highness, there is still General Yuwen here, I hope you are true to your word!" ”
Zhang Da's words suddenly made Dou Dan snort, obviously dissatisfied with the former's attitude of not taking himself seriously; Yu Wenxin felt a little chilled, did he want to follow such a master to the dark?
After seeing Li Yuanji nodding, Zhang Da had already turned around and walked out of the governor's mansion in great strides, and rushed out of Jinyang City with all his troops and horses, and went straight to the Yellow Snake Ridge.
After Zhang Da went, Yu Wenxin finally couldn't help but persuade, "Your Highness, the general Zhang Da is also a fierce general, if you turn against him for a woman, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Li Yuanji also knew that Yu Wenxin knew about seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and at this time, he pointed out his bad deeds side-by-side, but he was rarely not annoyed, but just shook his head with a wry smile.
Although Dou Dan used a borrowed knife to kill Zhang Da when he wanted to kill him, after listening to Yu Wenxin's words, he also knew that Jinyang was useless; If Yu Wenxin and the King of Qi are in a hurry, who else can be expected to stop Liu Wuzhou's army at that time?
Thinking of this, Dou Dan echoed Yu Wenxin for the first time, "Your Highness, why don't you return Zhang Da's wife to him?" Send him more soldiers? ”
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Dou Dan and asked rhetorically, "Give it back to him?" How can the dead be returned? ”
"This" Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin were both stunned by the information that Li Yuanji broke the news, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Zhang Da's wife doesn't have any appearance at all, the reason why I let her in is really because one of Zhang Da's subordinates stabbed me during the last game, I just couldn't get angry and wanted to insult him, how do I know that his wife is indeed a fierce woman" Li Yuanji explained the ins and outs of the matter, and the reason why he said it was afraid that he also had the meaning of beating Yu Wenxin.
After Yu Wenxin heard this, his heart suddenly cooled.
Zhang Da, who had arrived at the Yellow Snake Ridge, did not know that his wife had suffered such an unwarranted disaster.
After arriving at the Yellow Snake Ridge, Zhang Da originally had a glimmer of hope for completing the mission, and after seizing the opportunity, he set up a defense on the slope, and ordered his soldiers to start digging trenches and setting up tripwires, intending to resist the enemy's attack with sufficient defenses, and finally forced the enemy to return in vain.
But when the vast majority of Wei Chigong's troops appeared in front of Zhang Da, he knew that no one had any hope of defeating the enemy in front of him.
Liu Wuzhou's strength is not only the "one or two thousand" in Li Yuanji's mouth, it is clearly one or two thousand!
In the face of a deep ditch fortified city, the besieging army can still "do ten things", but now they only rely on one camp to build a camp for half a day, and can they resist ten times the enemy?
Looking at the black and oppressive banner in front of him, there is a two-mile skirmish line, such a powerful force, how can this battle be fought?
Zhang Da hurriedly glanced around, and even the veterans of the personal guards who had been through a hundred battles with him were all as pale as earth at the moment; As for the recruits who were entering the battle for the first time, their bodies shook involuntarily, and they couldn't even hold their weapons.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy to inspire their will to fight!
In the face of a battle to the death, how many people can be calm?
