Chapter 297: Chen Ping's plan
The sky was slightly bright, and Zhou Faxian and the others hurriedly left, each guard brought four days' rations, and went south in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The baggage and prisoners were all left in the village, and Chen Ping's guards were responsible for guarding and transporting them.
"Such a good opportunity, let it be given to them." Zhang Shan'an stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the guards going south, quite a pity.
"Opportunity? There must be, but not necessarily theirs. Okay, don't be a pity here, hurry up and count the baggage, General Zhou and others only brought four days' rations, we need to speed up, and we have to set off after eating. Chen Ping said.
Going south to the capital of Linyi, even if it is a rapid march, it will take about six days, Zhou Faxian and others only brought four days' rations, and two days' rations, I am afraid that the people of Linyi along the road will suffer.
The general's order is not subject to the foreign monarch's life, and Lin Yi is thousands of miles away from the capital division, and Yang Guang has a ban not to disturb the people, and in the face of military merits, it is greatly discounted.
One moment ago, Zhou Faxian said that he should not disturb the people, but the next moment he had great military exploits, and he immediately abandoned his words as if he were a shoe.
"Didn't you interrogate the captives, after crossing the Yanli River, there was not a single soldier to resist, General Zhou, they must have gone all the way south to the capital of Linyi to capture its king Fanzhi. Before the food and baggage of our army arrived, they probably took the gold, silver and jewels in the capital of Linyi and turned around and withdrew. Zhang Shan'an said.
"Then if the king of Linyi is so easy to catch, why did General Liu let him escape last time? Although the soldiers in his country have been severely injured, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, which cannot be unclear to Fanzhi. ”
Of course, Fan Zhi may not have the courage to resist the imperial army, but before escaping, he ordered his subordinates to defend the capital, or simply sent a team of soldiers to raid when the imperial court guards arrived in the city. thought that his departure from the city was a cover, and Fan Zhi should have thought of this. Chen Ping said.
In the open space in front of the village, Wen Xiaohai and Chen Yuanliang were arranging baggage and prisoners, with two people as starters, Chen Ping could be idle, it was indeed much easier.
The two chatted on the trail in the south of the village, Chen Jiu also walked over, the long knife on his waist had just been polished, smooth and shiny, listening to Chen Ping's words before, he said: "Fanzhi is that even the sergeant does not dare to send it out, does he have the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to attack?" ”
Chen Ping glanced at the knife in Chen Jiu's hand, the fight was fierce, although it had been polished, but there were still a few gaps in the blade: "Among the baggage transported with the army, there are long knives transported by the imperial court's military department, and I will take some out later, as well as the spear and shield, I will also select some." ”
These baggage loads were originally transferred from the treasury by the Ministry of War, and they were uniformly made, made by officials and craftsmen, and were extremely well maintained. But the number is limited, and it is distributed by Liu Fang, and the equipment allocated to Zhou Faxian's military government is only 500 people.
However, the types are complete, last night, Zhou Faxian deliberately let the first member of the army in Fuzhong lead Chen Ping to read it, and gave Chen Ping a voucher and stamped the general's seal. With that certificate, Chen Ping could go to receive the equipment of hundreds of people at any time.
There were long knives, spears, spears, shields, and even bows and crossbows, probably to comfort Chen Ping.
For these, Chen Ping will not be polite.
Chen Jiu responded, and Chen Ping continued to reply to the previous question: "Don't underestimate Fanzhi, since you can achieve the position of king in this southern barbarian land, you have some ability. The last time he was able to escape, this time he was able to escape again. There are war elephants in its country, and people sitting on them can drive war elephants, and they are condescending on the back of war elephants, and they can also shoot arrows to attack, which is not easy to deal with. ”
Seeing Chen Ping's confident appearance, Chen Jiu thought of Chen Shirun, it was Chen Ping's plan, using the bitter trick, that made Chen Shirun lose his vigilance against Zhang Shan'an and recruit him into the mansion, which eventually led to Chen Ping leading people into the mansion and killing Chen Shirun.
As for the charge of treason placed for Chen Shirun, a box of weapons is a bit far-fetched. There are not only those weapons, but the rest are hidden in hidden locations in the mountains.
Zhang Shan'an, Chen Jiu, and Tan Zhu all knew about this, Chen Ping did not shy away from the three of them, and he did not mention it at the time, there was no threat, there was no envelope, it was plain, as if it had not happened.
The reason why Chen Jiu agreed to Chen Ping's entry into the military government was somewhat factorial. Without saying or mentioning it, in Chen Jiu's opinion, it was Chen Ping who trusted the three of them and assured the three of them.
Being so valued and trusted by Chen Ping, and avenging his personal vendetta, Chen Jiu felt that it would not be wrong to follow Chen Ping.
Strategy, temperament, courage, and willingness to trust his subordinates, Chen Ping all possessed them, and now, listening to the meaning of Chen Ping's words, it seems that it is his intention to watch the prisoners and transport the baggage. If this is the case, Chen Ping can really be said to be strategizing and scheming.
What Chen Jiu, Zhang Shan'an and others said was mostly Chen Ping's speculation, and it would not necessarily happen, but in that case last night, if Chen Ping still wanted to follow south, let Zhou Faxian send another person to watch the prisoners and transport the baggage, and then the impression in the eyes of the generals in the military government, Changshi, Xing and others would inevitably seem a little too competitive.
This is not conducive to Chen Ping's follow-up plan, the conquest of Lin Yi is just a way, capturing his prince alive is already enviable, and being able to capture his king Fanzhi is the icing on the cake, but because of this, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, Chen Ping's plan was to stay in Linyi, and the extraneous branches would lead to the contradictions on the side, which was not good for Chen Ping.
There is another one, the guards really need to recuperate, and for ten days, escort the baggage and slow down, and the lightly wounded personnel can take up arms and follow the battle.
Fan Zhi's house, there are four or five kinds of dishes on the wooden table, the pot is fried with the army, the condiments are complete, a fish, fished from the river outside the village, fat and tender, a plate of dry beef, steamed, fragrant, a bowl of braised pork, which makes people salivate, and the remaining two vegetarian dishes are also delicious.
The pork meat was purchased from the village, and Chen Ping's money was bought to reward his guards, and of course he did not forget to send some to the officers and officials who also stayed in the military government.
At the table was Fan Zhi, and his mother also asked Chen Ping to invite him to the table, and next to him were his three children, staring at the food on the table.
Chen Ping sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork and put them in the children's wooden bowl, and the three children ran away in a swarm while Fan's slap was raised, not forgetting to stuff the braised pork in the bowl into their mouths.
After just one bite, the oil juice fell down the lower lip.
"Children are growing their bodies, so they need to eat more meat." Chen Pingdao glanced at the woman standing in the corner, "Sister-in-law, let's also come to the table, the three of us can't finish the food on this table." ”
The woman is very small, and judging from Chen Ping's eyes, she looks good. His complexion was dark, and he was cautious, standing in the corner, and he was also looking at Chen Ping with a nervous face.
This scene made Chen Ping feel uncomfortable, he was really so terrible? It will take time for this wariness to be dispelled.
Compared with women, Fan Zhi obviously wants to be more harmonious with Chen Ping after getting along for a day, that is, his words are more casual than yesterday: "The family is poor, and eating is a problem, where can I still eat meat?" Not to mention so much oil. (To be continued.) )
