Chapter 168: Helpless
On the other side, after Zhang Kewang came out of Wang Pu's mansion that morning, he hurried all the way west to Zhang Xianzhong's camp. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info urgently asked to see Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Kewang told Zhang Xianzhong what happened in the morning, and at the end Zhang Kewang said anxiously, "Father! What to do! Since Wang Pu can see our strategy, the rest of the government may not know about it! If the government ambushes us, then we'll be finished! ”
Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while before saying, "Since Wang Pu accepted the money you brought, it means that they will not spread the word." And I guess you were deceived by Wang Pu! He was just suspicious, and if he had known about it, he wouldn't have agreed to help us spread the word! Alas! You are still inexperienced, and you have been deceived by him, and it will all be exposed! ”
"Huh!? Is he cheating on me? Zhang Kewang said with shame on his face: "Father! I'm sorry you didn't do what you told you to! Please! ”
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said, "It's not your fault in this matter!" I didn't expect this Wang Pu to be so cunning! But it doesn't matter, since they are greedy for money, it's easy to say! Such! I'm discussing with all of you, and you can send some money to Wang Pu and the others! You tell him! My Zhang Xianzhong's money is not so easy to get! If they can't do it! Don't blame me for breaking the net with them! ”
Zhang Kewang knew that Zhang Xianzhong could continue to hand over this matter to him, which meant that Zhang Xianzhong really didn't blame him. Although Zhang Xianzhong is ruthless and vicious, he is still good to his few righteous sons! In particular, Zhang Kewang is completely cultivated according to the successor. How could Zhang Kewang not understand Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts, and said movingly, "Thank you father for your trust!" You won't be disappointed! ”
Zhang Xianzhong pulled Zhang Kewang up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Kewang!" You're young! It's understandable that you're inexperienced, and I don't blame you for that! But you have to be careful in what follows, I can help you once, but not forever! You know, you made a military order in front of everyone! If things go wrong, the old man won't be able to save you! ”
Zhang Kewang knelt down in front of Zhang Xianzhong and kowtowed, "Please also ask my father to teach me!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong nodded with satisfaction and pointed, "Wang Pu, you hurry up, you can't hand over all the money to him at once, you must pay attention to proportion, um!" And make more money to buy some of their men, and keep an eye on their movements. And we can't put all our hopes on Wang Pu! The bell must be tied to the bell, and the matter is because of Liu Fan, so we have to find a way from Liu Fan! Didn't he, Liu Fan, still have more than 60,000 prisoners? Let's start here, you send someone to contact those captives, find a way to make them make trouble, and when the time is right, we can also cooperate with them to riot or something! Once the captives make trouble, it will inevitably involve Liu Fan's energy, and then there will be room for operation! You don't need me to teach you exactly how to do it, right? ”
Although Zhang Kewang still didn't quite understand, he still stubbornly said, "Yes!" Father! The child knows what to do! Father, please send someone to help the child! Children have to take care of both things, I'm afraid there will be some neglect of one or the other! ”
Zhang Xianzhong scolded with a smile: "Hey! You little slippery head! Forget it! Liu Fan's side is not something you can handle all! I'll do it myself! You are solely responsible for contacting Wang Pu! You will be stationed in Wang Pu's mansion for a while, and you will come back after the deed is done! ”
Zhang Kewang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, father, for your help!" The child is so grateful! ”
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said, "You are quite tired all the way!" Go back and rest early! Tomorrow morning, you will take the money and set off! ”
And now Liu Fan, who is in the rope pool, doesn't know that now that Liukou and Wang Pu and others have joined forces, an undercurrent is surging between the court and the homeless, and it only takes an opportunity to explode and push Liu Fan into danger.
Although Liu Fan arrived at the rope pond, he found that things were not as simple as he thought, because Liu Fan traveled all the way from the north bank of the Yellow River and found that most of the Yellow River had been frozen. With such a long river, Liukou can cross the Yellow River from anywhere! This means that the area that Liu Fan wants to defend has expanded from a city to dozens of miles, and it is impossible to fortify everywhere with Liu Fan's current strength! In desperation, Liu Fan could only focus on defense, and only sent troops to garrison the cities in the upper reaches of Sanmenxia such as Shenchi.
Because there was no order from the Ministry of War, the local officials did not cooperate with Liu Fan's actions, and no city opened to let the captive army enter the city along the way, so Liu Fan could only let the army be stationed outside the city. But as the weather became colder and colder, even if Liu Fan brought enough materials to protect against the cold, he still couldn't stop the cold weather of the Ming Dynasty. Within a few days, many soldiers were frostbitten, and Liu Fan was anxious about this matter.
This kind of non-combat attrition is the most heart-wrenching, in order to prevent the soldiers from losing their combat effectiveness because of this kind of thing, Liu Fan can only continue to purchase materials to protect against the cold, while letting the soldiers build some simple barracks by themselves to protect against the cold. The only thing that makes Liu Fan happy is that the day of the surrender of the Liukou is not far away, as long as they survive these ten days, they will be free!
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the broken army, Liu Fan sat in the warm tent and looked at the information sent by the Military Intelligence Department, the more he looked at Liu Fan, the more angry he became, it turned out that the news of the surrender of the Liukou was Wang Pu, Yang Jinchao, and Lu Jiude reported to the court because they received bribes from the Liukou.
Looking at Liu Fan's increasingly ugly face, Sun Liang said cautiously, "Handsome! It's not worth it for you to lose your anger, for these moths! And the top priority now is not to care about why it happened, but how we should deal with it now! ”
Liu Fan's anger calmed down a little when he heard this, and he said slowly, "I'm not just angry with these three people, I'm not worth it because the Ming Dynasty spends so much money every year to support these people, they don't think about serving the country, and they are dragging the back legs of the Ming Dynasty everywhere, don't they know the truth that there is no end to the eggs under the nest?" What good will it do them if Da Ming is finished? They have a vested interest! A bunch of idiots! "Although Liu Fan is angry but powerless in his heart for such a thing, the Ming Dynasty has rotted up and down, there are such situations everywhere, even if Liu Fan can stop one but can't stop everyone, Liu Fan can only do what he should do, and at the same time pin his hopes on Chongzhen, hoping that Chongzhen can make up his mind to exterminate the Liukou when he sees his twists and turns.
After half a ring, Liu Fan sighed before saying, "We have done everything we should do!" I did what I shouldn't have done! Now I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven! (To be continued.) )
