September 24, early morning, Gubeikou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The twelve ladies of the Cui family appeared", the messenger from Panlong Fort stood behind Cui Yu, and the bureaucrats of Guo Xuan, Zou Sheng, and Quan Gong were on the left, and Cui Jiu, Lu Junxian, Liu Shanbo and other wealthy children were on the right, and the atmosphere was very tense, which made Murong Zhengze feel heavy pressure.
Cui Yu "showed himself", bullied others, arrogant and domineering, overwhelmed the town government and the county government, openly interfered in the military affairs of the two governments, seriously violated the law, and was lawless, but Guo Xuan, the governor of the two prefectures, turned a blind eye and openly connived, and only the deputy town general Murong Zhengze alone could not stop Cui Yu's arrogance and recklessness, so there was an incredible scene, the children of the wealthy families led by Cui Yu confronted the key defenders headed by Murong Zhengze, and Guo Xuan, the governor of the two prefectures, stood aside and watched coldly, and the two did not help each other.
Murong Zheng weighed the pros and cons and had to give in. Things are getting bigger and out of control, even if he is not wrong, but he has offended too many wealthy families, especially offended the twelve ladies of the Cui family, who are very favored by the Holy Lord and the Queen, and has become the target of everyone, even if the Holy Lord and the center have the intention to defend him, the result will be a lose-lose situation, which will do him and the Murong clan all kinds of harm and no benefit. And more importantly, since the twelve ladies of the Cui family have come forward publicly, it shows that there are many mysteries behind this matter, involving the interests of all aspects, and its complexity is far beyond his imagination.
In the face of Cui Yu's aggressiveness, Murong Zheng responded with silence.
Cui Yu saw that Murong Zhengze no longer insisted on his own opinions under his coercion, and his arrogant attitude was somewhat restrained, so he turned around and glanced at Li Mengwei, and said in a cold voice, "Tell Guo Yuanjun and Deputy General Murong everything you know." ”
Cui Yu did not introduce Li Mengwei's identity, before Cui Jiu also bullied people on the city wall, and forcibly "snatched" Li Mengyan from the guards, which made Li Mengyan realize that the conflict between the wealthy and the official was serious, and things were a little difficult to do, after all, before the situation in Anzhou was not clear, the wealthy family had to reserve a way out for their own interests, and the official would not take risks at all, and the officials in the border towns would not risk their careers and lives at all, so Li Mengyan immediately made a decision, and there were some key points to reveal. Some important details should be exaggerated, so that both the wealthy and the official can see that the situation in Anzhou is beneficial to their side, otherwise this gate may be difficult to open.
Li Mengwei started from the alliance army leaving the flying fox and going north out of the fortress, the key point here is the tacit understanding between Duan Da and Li Zixiong, who stayed in Zhuo County, without this tacit understanding, it is impossible for the alliance army to get out of the fortress, and it is impossible to get out of the fortress all the way. And the tacit understanding between Duan Da and Li Zixiong is enough to show the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center, the purpose of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf seems to be to kill people with a knife, but in fact, there is a hidden mystery, and the mystery is to recover Anzhou. In other words, the recovery of Anju should be the position of the Holy Lord and the center, but it is hidden under the sword to kill, if it succeeds, it will use the sword of the rebels to recover Anzhou, and if it fails, it will kill the rebels with the sword of the captives outside the Saiwai, this plan will kill two birds with one stone, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to Middle-earth.
As soon as this "opening statement" came out, the subordinates of the two governments looked at each other in shock, and Murong Zheng was also secretly surprised, and he already believed most of it in his heart. This plan takes what they need, each takes its own benefits, the winner is only the Holy Lord and the center, and for the rebels, it is all death anyway, rather than being killed by the Weifu army in the country, it is better to gamble and win. With such a strategy, Zhuojun left behind Duan Da had no right to decide, and only when the Holy Lord and the center made a promise, the rebels would fight to the death, so the bureaucrats of the two prefectures had a preconceived idea, and immediately deduced the truth they believed and believed from the key points revealed by Li Mengwei.
Then Li Mengwei described in detail the process of the alliance breaking through the Turkic interception on both sides of the Lightning River and successfully entering the flat pine forest, the key point here is the tacit understanding between the king of Qi and Li Zixiong, without this tacit understanding, without the king of Qi going out to suppress the thieves without authorization, and doing his best to contain the main force of the Turks, it is impossible for the alliance army to break through the interception of the Turks. And the tacit understanding between King Qi and Li Zixiong can better explain the attitude of the Holy Lord and the center.
The king of Qi has sunset politically, and this northward patrol is actually to expel him from the political center, rather than re-induction, which is the official consensus of Middle-earth, if it is said that he will be re-employed, as the first heir, the future prince of Middle-earth, during the expedition of the Holy Lord, it is natural to sit in the capital during the expedition of the Holy Lord, instead of going north to patrol the border, and carry out political exile in disguise. Since the king of Qi is in danger, he must be walking on thin ice at every step, trembling, and it is impossible for him to go out of the fortress without authorization to find a way to die, but he left the fortress without authorization, and the only explanation is that he acted according to orders, and the holy lord and the center demanded that he must help the rebels break through the Turkic blockade and kill into Anzhou, there is no doubt about this.
Li Mengwei exaggerated his account of the Anzhou war situation, he said that the main army of the alliance had captured the Guifang and Songshan passes, and blocked the Xi king A Huizheng and the five armies of the Xi nationality north of Songshan, and at the same time, the alliance division blocked the Turks in the Taoshui line of the flat pine forest, while Li Zixiong, Han Shige, and Zhou Zhong took the Xuanfeng army all the way through the pass and cut the generals, like a bamboo, first broke through the interception of Xi Wangfu, and then crossed Suotoushui, Weishui and Dayaoshui, and conquered Baitan City with a drum, and then crossed Baoqiu Shui, and killed Panlong Fort.
The key point here is that the alliance army captured the Songshan Pass, and blocked the Xi King Ahuizheng and the Xi five armies in the north of Songshan, and then the Xi expeditionary army was attacked by the enemy, and the front was intercepted by the army of the Middle Earth Alliance, and then there was the attack of the Khitans. It is bound to lose its troops, and even if it is withdrawn after all the hardships, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to defeat the alliance army that is waiting for work.
That is to say, the situation in Anzhou has actually become clear, the alliance army occupies an absolute advantage, even if the gate of Gubeikou is not opened, the materials supported by the wealthy family cannot reach Anzhou, and the alliance army can cope with it for a period of time only by capturing the battlefield, and during this time, if the alliance army completely defeats the Xi king A Huizheng and the five armies of the Xi nationality and occupies Anzhou, the situation is completely clear, then Gubeikou opens the gate again, the effect is completely different, before it is a charcoal in the snow, and then it is the icing on the cake at most, The icing on the cake will inevitably trap Middle-earth in passivity, making it difficult for Middle-earth to maximize its own interests.
When Li Mengwei was talking about the Anzhou war situation, Guo Xuan, Murong Zhengze, Zou Sheng, Quan Gong and other subordinates of the two governments walked to the map one after another to make a specific assessment of the Anzhou war situation. When it comes to fighting, Murong Zhengze is of course an expert, so Guo Xuan and the others are wise to wait for him to make a final judgment.
As soon as Li Mengwei finished speaking, Murong Zhengze asked, "How many troops did you have before you left the fortress?" ”
"Fifty thousand." Li Mengwei said without hesitation. This figure cannot be too exaggerated, because when Li Fengyun and Cui's agreed on grain and grass support, the reported army figure was 50,000, and Cui's raised grain and grass according to this number.
"How many horsemen are there?" Murong Zheng asked. This is the key, in the battle outside the Sai, the Ma army is the key to victory, without the Ma army, the "short board" of the alliance army is too obvious, it will not be able to hold on at all.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Cui Yu, Cui Jiu, Lu Junxian, Liu Shanbo, Li Sixing, Guo Xuan, Zou Sheng, Quan Gong and others all focused on Li Mengwei's face. Li Fengyun does not have a horse army, and the children of wealthy families such as Cui Yu and Cui Jiu know it, and this is one of the important reasons why they are full of doubts about the plan to recover Anzhou.
"We only had six hundred horsemen before we got out of the fortress." Li Mengwei said calmly, "After leaving the fortress, we first ambushed the horse thief coalition army in the southeast of the moraine at Goutoubo, and captured more than 1,000 horsemen; When we arrived at the Lightning Plain, we robbed and killed the Turks' prison camp, and obtained more than a thousand horsemen; Later, when they came to the flat pine forest, nearly 2,000 forest horse thieves took the initiative to defect; A few days ago, we rendezvoused with the horse thief coalition on the Bashang Plateau at Modouling on the north bank of the water, and obtained more than 1,000 horsemen; The day before yesterday, we arrived at Baoqiu Shui, and more than 200 thieves took the initiative to vote. In this way, so far, we have about 7,000 horsemen, most of them are horse thieves and robbers, and have a certain combat effectiveness, as long as we do not fight head-on with the main force of the five Xi tribes, our horse army is enough to deal with the current war. ”
Before Li Mengwei finished speaking, Cui Yu, Cui Jiu and others showed a look of surprise, Li Fengyun is really a miracle worker, and any difficulties in front of him no longer seem to be insurmountable, but Murong Zhengze, Zou Sheng, and Quan Gong, the old soldiers of the border towns, showed disdain, and they didn't believe what Li Mengyan said at all.
"The forest horse thief took the initiative to defect? The horse thieves on the plateau of the dam will meet you? Murong Zheng scoffed, "Do you know who their leader is?" Do you know how much effort the Xi clan put into killing them? How can you subdue these thieves? ”
Li Meng smiled, as if he had long expected that the old army of the border town would not believe this unbelievable thing, "Do you know the white wolf?" ”
"White wolf?" Murong Zheng sneered, "Of course I know, the first thief in Songmo back then, killing people and goods, full of evil, was surrounded and suppressed by the captives outside the country two years ago, but he was still killed out of the encirclement, but good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and in the end it will fall into our hands, and it is difficult to escape death." ”
Li Mengwei smiled suddenly, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of Murong Zhengze, Zou Sheng and Quan Gong, and asked in a cold voice, "In this way, you all had a part in the battle to encircle and suppress the white wolf back then?" ”
Murong Zheng ignored it. Zou Sheng and Quan Gong sensed the abnormality from Li Mengwei's words, the two looked at each other, and then Zou Sheng took the initiative to say, "When the Eastern Expedition was imminent, the left-behind mansion was ordered to kill the border thieves, and it happened that the Turks and Donghu tribes wanted to encircle and suppress the thieves in the Song Desert, so the two sides agreed to suppress together, and the primary target was the white wolf." After the white wolf killed the siege of the captives outside the Saiwai, he went straight to Yanshan, of course we had to intercept it, Murong Deputy Town personally shot and hit the white wolf hard, but he still escaped and went straight to Liaoxi, and finally heard that he fell into the trap set by the fierce general Luo Yi under the account of General Li, and was captured by mistake, and the head of the owl was shown to the public. ”
Cui Yu, Cui Jiu and the others looked at Li Mengwei suspiciously, wondering why he suddenly mentioned an unrelated thief at this moment, and the fierce life of this thief described by Murong Zhengze and Zou Sheng was also quite attractive and made people interested.
"We all know the white wolf, and Deputy Town Murong not only knows him, but also fights with him." Quan Gong also looked at Li Mengwei suspiciously, and asked, "What does your sudden mention of this thief have to do with what you are discussing today?" ”
Under everyone's attention, Li Mengwei said expressionlessly, "The white-haired thief is the white wolf, and the white wolf is the white-haired thief." ”
There was silence, there was a dead silence in the hall, everyone was shocked, even Cui Yu and Cui Jiu were stunned. Since the two of them met Li Fengyun on White Horse, although they had also inquired about his origin and knew that he was a thief in Liaodong, but later learned that his true identity was a secret soldier under Pei Shiju's account, they no longer paid attention to his thief experience, but the two never thought that even if Li Fengyun was a big thief, he would be able to rise and become notorious, so that he was surrounded and suppressed by the captives outside the country.
Murong Zhengze looked sluggish, and only after a long time did he shake his head and smile bitterly, "I see, I know that I can't kill him, now Ah Hui is in trouble, the Xi people are in danger, the Khitan and the Xia people are also more auspicious, and the good days of Bu Li set Ashina Err are probably coming to an end." ”
Li Meng's face was mocking, and he said jokingly, "With Murong Deputy Town's understanding of the white wolf, can he subdue the forest horse thief?" Will the horse thieves on the plateau bow down to the flag? With his prestige in the pine desert, can he pull up an army of more than 7,000 horsemen in a short period of time? ”
Murong Zhengze didn't pay attention to Li Mengwei's ridicule at all, and asked seriously, "You tell so-and-so, the white wolf and Li Zixiong, who is the final decision-maker?" ”
This sentence is very mysterious, the supreme commander of the alliance army must be the white wolf, Li Zixiong has joined the alliance for a short time, it is impossible to grasp the military power of the alliance, the alliance and cooperation between the two sides is just to use each other, and as far as the matter of leaving the fortress is concerned, the white wolf should be the leader, he must make a comeback to take revenge, Anzhou is naturally also his important goal, then the question comes, if Li Zixiong gets Duan Da's hint, use the white wolf to recover Anzhou, and then take Anzhou in exchange for credit, he can be subservient to the white wolf in the early stage, but in the later stage, especially after recovering Anzhou, he must hold the highest decision-making power of the alliance and must control the White Wolf, otherwise who can guarantee that the White Wolf will surrender to Middle-earth and will hand Anzhou over to Middle-earth?
In other words, if the final decision-maker of the alliance is the white wolf, and the white wolf has a deep grudge with Middle-earth and is not trustworthy at all, this gate cannot be opened, and conversely, if the final decision-maker of the alliance is Li Zixiong, this gate may be opened.
The ridicule on Li Mengwei's face became even stronger, "You shouldn't ask this question, and it is impossible for someone to know, except for the white wolf, there is only Li Zixiong." ”
Murong Zhengze touched a "soft nail" and was annoyed. Li Mengwei saw through his trick at a glance, he was not fooled at all, and he dug a trap for him, if you want to ask, you can ask Li Zixiong, but if you want to see Li Zixiong, you must open the door. Li Zixiong is also a famous person, it is impossible for him to be pulled up the city wall by you with a hanging basket, he can't afford to lose this face, and if you go back on your word and arrest him, won't he want to cry without tears? It's just that as soon as the door is closed and opened, as soon as he meets Li Zixiong, this nature changes, and Murong Zhengze is also "in the same stream" with the children of wealthy families.
A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, not mentioning the white wolf, Li Mengwei can't prove the truth of what he said, mentioning the white wolf, Murong Zhengze found a reason not to open and close the door again.
Cui Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Deputy Murong Zhen, let me tell you one more thing, do you know why the white wolf can't be killed?" ”
Murong Zhengze glanced at Cui Yu obliquely, disdainful.
"The true identity of the white wolf is a secret soldier, and among the leaders of the horse thieves, there are also secret soldiers." Cui Yu laughed angrily, "With so many secret soldiers concentrated in the Song Desert, it's obvious what the person behind them is going to do. That person wants to play a big game of chess, and that's the real reason why you can't kill the white wolf. ”
Murong Zhengzhi was moved, and his mind suddenly remembered the old man he respected very much, the old man who had been a minister in the same hall as his grandfather and father in the Gaoqi Dynasty in Shandong.
