426 Fire attack
readx;
Although Xiao Buyi has news from all directions, his understanding of Fu Pingju has always been like being in the fog. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Piece by bit, it still can't make him form a complete consciousness of Fu Pingju, he only knows that this person is the Taoist master of Louguan Dao, this person is Shi Danai's father, this person is very likely to plan the Penglai assassination and Luoshui attack, and this person has assassinated him twice, in addition, his impression of this person is only a civil and military all-rounder, amazing talent. As for where he was hiding, Xiao Buyi didn't know.
It can be seen that as soon as Lu Laosan turns around, he wants to see the portrait of Fu Pingju, Xiao Buyi was secretly shocked in his heart, and his first thought was that this person was originally in the Jiangdu army!
Lu Laosan just looked at the portrait and said for a long time: "This Fu Pingju's painting skills are excellent, and the portraits of others are just similar in shape, but his paintings are very similar, so I remember them deeply." But there seems to be a problem with this god, and today I saw a person in Jiangdujun who had a completely different face from Fu Pingju, but his expression was a similar person. Look at this man's belt, and the knots on it are exactly the same as the man's. ”
Xiao Buyi asked movingly, "Who is that person?" ”
Lu Laosan raised his head at this time, "He just came out and asked me a few words, but he didn't say who he was." I asked the soldier next to me to find out that he was the former Huangmen squire Pei Ju! ”
"Pei Ju? Pei Mingcui's father? After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Buyi was stunned and sat down slowly, feeling like a tide for a while.
He had never seen Pei Ju, and he had never thought that Fu Pingju was Pei Ju, which was a bit incredible! Pei Ju is Fu Pingju, is he the end of the world?
Lu Laosan said: "King Xiliang, I'm just guessing, I can't do it accurately, and I may not be accurate." ”
Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "I know, but ...... How sure are you? ”
Lu Laosan groaned: "I just feel that when I was ordered by you to send food, I heard Jiang Dujun talking a lot. King Xiliang is really a clever move, as soon as the grain and grass pass, those people are swaying, and they all have the intention of surrendering. At that time, Yang Gao summoned the ministers to deal with it, and finally they accepted our grain and grass and sent Pei Ju out to reply. He said what Pei Ju said, not missing a word, Xiao Buyi listened to it, and said with a smile: "I have never met Pei Ju, but he knows me quite well." ”
"I didn't think about it so much at the time, but when I first saw Pei Ju, it felt familiar, but I was sure that I had never seen this person." Lu Laosan groaned: "Later, I remembered that this person's bearing and demeanor are excellent, if I have seen it, it is absolutely impossible to forget, and then I remembered the portrait of Fu Pingju, and I couldn't help but be shocked." I remember that the belt knot in the portrait is very special, and I paid special attention to it, and found that Pei Ju's belt knot was very similar to the portrait, King Xiliang, did you say there was such a coincidence? ”
Xiao Buyi was already in a state of confusion at that moment, and couldn't figure out what was going on.
No matter who he is, he can't think clearly about the relationship, he can reach the high position he is today, Pei Valve's contribution is indispensable, he can take the Eastern Capital, Pei Mingcui of course played an extremely important role. If it weren't for Pei Mingcui's persuasion and help, he Xiao Buyi would only be active in Jiangnan at most at the moment, where could he sit in the Eastern Capital?
Pei Mingcui has never just said that he and Xiao Buyi are exchanging equally, but of course Xiao Buyi has a rod and scale in his heart, and he knows that in his life, in essence, he has never helped Pei Mingcui for anything! He really wanted to help Pei Mingcui, but he really didn't know how to help Pei Mingcui! So in the end, he could only see Pei Mingcui becoming more and more lonely, and that feeling of powerlessness could not be spoken. But every time Pei Mingcui moves, he will go to a new level, and Xiao Buyi will be grateful every time he thinks of this.
But such a woman, her father actually wanted to kill herself twice?
Xiao Buyi can't figure it out, and he can't figure it out when he breaks his head!
"King Xiliang, if Pei Ju is really Fu Pingju, then many things seem to be explainable." Lu Laosan reminded on the side.
"What can be explained?" Xiao Buyi asked.
"Pei Ju has always been far away in the Western Regions, and he has been in the Central Plains for more than ten years, which gives him a lot of time to do other things. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the inner city, Fu Pingju easily enters, and escapes from the Shejitan, and is familiar with the road, I think it is not difficult for Pei Ju to do this, after all, he is in a high position and knows the inner city of the Eastern Capital well. ”
"But Lao Tzu wants to kill me, and my daughter wants to help me, what is it for?" Xiao Buyi muttered.
Lu Laosan couldn't explain, so he could only smile bitterly. Xiao Buyi's eyebrows tightened, and he said for a long time: "You said that if Pei Ju is really Fu Pingju, will he assassinate me again if he knows that I have arrived in Liyang?" He knew that the Jiangdu army would be defeated in this trip, but he still led his soldiers to Yuanwu to confront me, did he still have a plan to deal with me? ”
Lu Laosan was shocked and lost his voice: "This matter is very likely, is he acting arrogantly, but secretly wants to assassinate the king of Xiliang?" No wonder he wants to inquire if you have come to Liyang! ”
Xiao Buyi was not as surprised as Lu Laosan, but said, "It would be nice if it was really that simple...... But I'm afraid that we can't guess his intentions, so we can't guard against it. ”
Lu Laosan frowned and said: "Indeed, Jiang Dujun's move has made too many people wonder about it. But the more I don't understand it, there must be a conspiracy that makes people palpitate. ”
Lu Laosan said with deep understanding, and couldn't help but think of his brother, his expression was gloomy, even now, the death of the second brother still makes it difficult for the brothers to figure out. Xiao Buyi nodded slowly, "Third child, what you said is good, that's why I came to Liyang to have a look." ”
Lu Laosan was surprised: "King Xiliang...... You don't want to be a bait, do you? That must not be, everyone can't live without you, how can you put yourself in danger right now? ”
Xiao Buyi muttered: "Me and him, sooner or later we will have a chance to face off, even if it's not this time, there will be a ...... next time."
He knew that although Pei Ju's assassination method was simple, it was simple and effective. And it is not for nothing to guess that the assassination method is for nothing, first of all, because Fu Pingju wants to assassinate him at least twice, and he wants to do it once and for all. The second is Xue Ju's death, which has always been suspicious in Xiao Buyi's heart, lingering.
Xue Ju's death may have made Xijing excited, but Xiao Buyi was absolutely shocked. Because he knew that his Dongdu was actually the same as Xue Julongxi, if he fell, then Dongdu could be said to be someone else's bag.
Xiao Buyi knows that although Dongdu is strong for a while, it has a fatal crisis, he is still too young, young and can withstand failure, but he is young, and obviously has many drawbacks! At least, Li Yuan is dead, and Li Jiancheng is still alive, not to mention that Li Yuan is better alive than anyone else, and since he entered Xijing, he has never been personally recruited. But if he dies, Dongdu is afraid that it will collapse in an instant. Shouye is less than a year old, if he is undecided today, who will obey him? The second brother and Xu Shiji are both leaders and handsome, but in order to prevent him from being suspicious, they ignore everything except marching and fighting. Besides, the talent of the leader does not necessarily have the ability to run the world, he, the king of Xiliang, has unimaginable pressure.
Fu Pingju obviously saw his most fatal weakness, so he did not hesitate to risk assassinating him twice, Lu Laosan was right, he shouldn't give Fu Pingju a third chance!
But of course, Lu Laosan's thinking also has limitations, he only thinks about it from the perspective of assassination, but never from the end of the assassination. When Xiao Buyi linked Fu Pingju and Pei Ju, he suddenly understood, and he immediately understood what Pei Ju meant. Pei Ju obviously also wants to control the Eastern Capital, but he has always stayed away from the Eastern Capital, and it is not easy to take it. The eastern capital is in charge of him Xiao Buyi, Pei Ju wants to take it, and it is more powerful than ascending to the sky, but if the eastern capital falls into the hands of others, Pei Ju easily controls the Jiangdu army, and in the name of orthodoxy, it is not difficult to take the eastern capital again, in this way, all Pei Ju's plans seem to have an explanation, he wants to control the eastern capital and compete for the world!
The spirit of the end of the world is really extraordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary people to figure it out! The means of the end of the world are really earth-shattering and move the world!
Pei Ju assassinated twice, and his ambition was not in his surname, but in the world! When Xiao Buyi figured everything out, there was only one question left, that is, Pei Ju was Pei Mingcui's father, did Pei Mingcui know all this? Pei Mingcui probably doesn't know, and it's a completely different path from her father, because Pei Mingcui's kind of suffering really can't pretend. Pei Mingcui is all about Yang Guang, if she learns that her father has been working hard to overthrow Yang Guang, how does she feel?
"Third child, I'm going to work hard for your brothers again." Xiao Buyi came back to his senses and had already thought of a countermeasure.
"The king of Xiliang has everything he can order, but he wants to infiltrate the camp of the Jiangdu army?" Lu Laosan asked.
This kind of lurking is familiar to them, they know themselves and their opponents, and they win every battle, and before each duel, undercover agents and spies are indispensable. The more you know about your opponent, the more confident you will be about your opponent.
Xiao Buyi shook his head, "You can let others do this." Besides, if Pei Ju is really Fu Pingju, it is extremely terrifying, and it is too dangerous for you to go. ”
Lu Laosan patted his chest, "What are you afraid of danger, as long as you don't take risks." ”
Xiao Buyi looked at him for a long time, and was moved, "Lu Laosan, don't worry, I won't take any more risks." ”
Lu Laosan was happy in his heart, and said repeatedly: "That's good!" ”
"But you don't have to take risks, first of all, his scheme, we have already guessed, and secondly, a character like him, how can he easily leak secrets and be followed? Sooner or later, the Jiangdu army will be defeated, Pei Jurao is very cunning, in addition to assassination, it is difficult to have a way to defy the sky. I want you to ...... Travel to Xijing. ”
"To Xijing?" Lu Laosan was surprised: "Do you want to find out Li Yuan's movements?" Haven't we always been spies on that side? ”
Xiao Buyi shook his head, "No...... It should be said that it is to go to the city of Folding. Xue Ju died, and his son Xue Renguo did not attack Xijing immediately, but he did not retreat either......"
"And what is he doing?" Lu Laosan asked puzzled.
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Xue Ju is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he can't count Li Yuan with a deep plan." But Xue Renguo is not as good as half of Lao Tzu, I heard that this person is extremely greedy for money and lustful, and he is violent and cruel to his subordinates. However, according to my judgment, Xue Renguo is far inferior to Li Yuan's old scheming, and defeat is a matter of time, I will let you go to Zheqian City, for one purpose, to investigate the cause of Xue Ju's death! I suspect he didn't simply die of illness! ”
Lu Laosan was puzzled and asked, "Xue Ju is dead, what else is there to investigate, does King Xiliang want to report revenge to Xue?" ”
"Even if I wanted to, I had to find an opponent." Xiao Buyi smiled dumbly and said: "Third child, depending on a person's worth, it depends on his opponent!" But if you want to look at his hole cards, you have to look at his allies! Xue Ju died silently, I'm just afraid that Li Yuan's hole cards played a role. ”
Lu Laosan's heart froze, "You said that Li Yuan sent someone to kill Xue Ju?" ”
"I don't know, but it's always right to investigate. Xue cited the lessons of the past, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past. Xiao Buyi said with a straight face: "Third child, if Xue Ju dies normally, if he dies strangely, your trip is in great danger." Remember, safety comes first! ”
Lu Laosan nodded yes, and went to his brother to prepare, Xiao Buyi finished speaking, stretched his legs comfortably, suddenly showed a sly smile, and said to himself: "Pei Ju...... Actually, I want you to kill me! ”
**
The night is low, there are no stars and no moon. On Poyang Lake, the wind and waves are calm, and sometimes a few oars slap the water, startling several white cranes. The white crane roared for a long time, trembled in the quiet night, and fell on the beach not far away, looking at the water in the distance in confusion.
There, there are countless boats!
They hadn't seen this kind of scene for a long time, but the last time it was extremely tragic, and it made them feel uneasy. But like the people, no matter how turbulent and strife, they still can't give up a piece of land that sustains them. Peck at the beach, hoping that the fight will end early and give them peace.
Lin Shihong stared nervously into the distance, knowing that the fight would be extremely tragic, and tonight was destined to be sleepless.
He only felt that his palms were full of sweat, even when he fought Liu Ziyi at the beginning, he was not so nervous. After these investigations, he already knows Li Jing's strength well.
Li Jing's strength should not be underestimated, last time Liu Ziyi only brought a five-tooth giant ship to encircle and suppress, but Li Jing didn't know where to requisition and transfer two five-tooth ships to encircle and suppress, which shows that he was well prepared. In addition to the Wuya big ship, Li Jing also has a lot of big ships and small boats, and the scale is comparable to Lin Shihong.
When Lin Shihong saw it, he was shocked in his heart, and secretly wanted to see the scale of this ship, Li Jing was by no means in a hurry to encircle and suppress, but he had been planning for a long time, presumably Jiangling and other places have not moved, most of them are rushing to control this kind of five-tooth ship.
But although he was shocked, he was not panicked, because no one is more familiar with water warfare than him, this water battle is the same as land warfare, not to win if there are more ships, the key is to see whether the command is good!
With a 'bang', a small boat approached Lin Shihong's big ship like a fish, and a soldier jumped on the boat and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, Li Jing's big ship has already set off, and at least thirty big ships are escorting, taking advantage of the dark night, they are coming in our direction!" ”
"How many soldiers are there on board?" Lin Shihong's heart was excited.
"The five-tooth ship can hold 800 soldiers, and the big ship has at least 100 people. From this point of view, Li Jing should attack with at least 5,000 sailors this time. ”
Lin Shihong smiled and said: "It's good to come, pass the order, and prepare to face the battle at Hulukou." ”
The waterway of Poyang Lake has nine bends and eighteen bends, there are islands in the lake, and there are lakes in the islands, Lin Shihong will gather the naval army in the depths of Poyang Lake, relying on his familiarity with Poyang Lake and Li Jing as the enemy. Li Jingtun's army is Chang, but he is hiding in Broad Bean Lake, Li Jing is going to attack, as a gourd, where the terrain is complicated, the waterway is narrow, like an upside-down gourd. Lin Shihong has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and he just wants to use his advantage to attack it!
This time, the bandits did not sound the order in unison, but based on the firelight. The fire is extinguished, like a starlight. The ships on the left flank should go first, then the ships on the right flank.
Lin Shihong saw that the fleet was neat and tidy, and there was no chaos at all, and a sense of pride rose in his heart, no matter how disastrous the land battle was, but when it came to the command of the navy, he would not obey others.
Now that he is the emperor, he is naturally protected by everyone, and the big ship is among the bandits. The fleet was divided into three routes, but in the end, it was dotted with countless small boats, densely packed.
Lin Shihong looked back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this time to attack Li Jing, of course, is the same as hitting Liu Ziyi. The sailors of the Great Sui only thought that the ship was big and useful, but they didn't know that small and flexible also had its advantages. All the boats are covered, and the bottom is naturally filled with dry firewood, hay and vegetable oil and other things that cause fire, and the fire attack method is really the only way to deal with the five-tooth giant ship, I am afraid that even if Yang Su is reborn, he can't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
Pharmacist Lin said with worry in his heart: "Big brother, Li Jing has no reason not to know how Liu Ziyi was destroyed. ”
"What do you want to say?" Lin Shihong said coldly.
"I'm just scared...... I'm afraid they have a way to deal with it. Pharmacist Lin frowned.
"What about your idea?" Lin Shihong asked.
Pharmacist Lin smiled bitterly, "If it is my idea, we had better avoid a fight and find another place to hide." ”
Lin Shihong clenched his fists, "This world is so big, if Poyang Lake can't be controlled, where do we still have a place to stay, this battle must be fought, and it must be won." His eyes were full of excitement, and when Pharmacist Lin saw it, he couldn't persuade him anymore. Although the fleet is large, it can be staggered, and it will soon be not far from the mouth of the gourd. Pharmacist Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed, "Big brother, look." ”
Lin Shihong had already seen that on the other side of the lake, there were lights flickering, and two five-toothed giant ships, hanging red lanterns, were walking towards this side like giant monsters on the water.
Li Jing finally dispatched the water army!
**
"Do you beat the drums?" Pharmacist Lin asked anxiously.
"Wait." Lin Shihong was a little stunned when he saw the sailor of the Western Liang Army, he didn't expect Li Jing's cavalry to be fast, and the navy army was not slow, originally according to the news of the spies, Li Jing should still be in Hulukou at the moment! But Li Jing's speed is always beyond the imagination of others, and now the sailors of the Western Liang Army have broken away from the narrowest section of the waterway, disrupting some of his deployments.
"They're coming fast." Pharmacist Lin said anxiously.
The hesitation was only for a moment, and the other party's five-tooth big ship looked a little bigger, even if the big ship's slapping rod was faintly visible. The five-toothed ship was like a huge sea monster, rushing towards this side with teeth and claws.
The lights are on, but you can't see how many Xiliang troops are on board!
The bandit fleet twitched slightly, eager to try. These people are all bandits, experienced in a hundred battles, although they saw the surging momentum of the Sui Dynasty's naval army, they were not afraid at all.
Lin Shihong saw that the terrain was not good, and after a while, he was afraid that it would be even worse, and now he was an arrow from the string, and there was absolutely no possibility of retracting it, because he was only afraid that if he retreated, he would be defeated like a mountain, and he would not have the courage to face the enemy in the future.
Li Jing is good at attacking the heart, but with the momentum of the fleet, he has already overwhelmed them.
"Drumming." Lin Shihong gave an order. Suddenly, the drums on the lake sounded loudly, startling countless birds. The bandits' left flank Huo Ran slashed out, attacking the flank of the Wuya ship in an arc, and the bandits on the right flank did the same, the boat sailed on the water, unspeakably fast.
When the Sui army saw the bandits attacking, the drums sounded without hesitation, and the opposite fleet also divided into two large ships and attacked head-on. Lin Shihong was not surprised, his plan to lure the enemy seemed to be effective, the drum sounded again, and several warships were divided to support the bandits on both wings, and the ships greeted each other, although the boatmen were active, but the waterway was limited, only the sound of 'ping pong' was heard endlessly, and several large ships had collided together.
The robbers exclaimed, only to see that the bow of the opponent's big ship was covered with iron, and they actually knocked their bow down alive. Although the bandits were not panicked, they picked up the planks one after another, put them on the side of the opponent's ship, and followed them down, which was hand-to-hand combat, and if they killed them, they would have a way to live, and using the opponent's big ship was also a way.
Lin Shihong was really shocked when he saw the warships colliding this time, but he didn't expect the Sui army to fight hard, and they were even braver than them.
But at this time, in Lin Shihong's view, the momentum can no longer be lost, the opponent is ruthless, they will be more ruthless than the opponent, and the opponent is fierce, they will be more fierce than the opponent!
Personally beating the drums, Lin Shihong cheered up and ordered the Chinese army to dispatch. The division of the ships was just a trick to lure the enemy, to divide the warships of the Sui army, and his purpose was still two five-tooth giant ships. Because the five-tooth giant ship is the real main force of the Western Liang Army, as long as the five-tooth giant ship is destroyed, the Western Liang Army is already undefeated and defeated!
The big ship of thieves went straight forward, riding the wind and waves, and the target was to take the five-toothed giant ship, and the small boat attached behind it also continued to fight, and the drum beat quietly forward. All the boats are like ghosts in the night, but Lin Shihong knows that this is his real main force. All the warships are just to attract the attention of the Western Liang army, and these small ships will soon enter one after another and ignite the five-tooth giant ships of the Western Liang army.
No matter what the process is, as soon as the Wuya giant ship is destroyed, the Western Liang Army will definitely collapse like a toothless tiger. Lin Shihong was like a gambler fighting for his life, nervously waiting for the final blow.
The warships of the Western Liang Army were the main ships, and they intercepted head-on, and the warships of both sides staggered. I only heard the sound of 'Zheng Zheng Zheng' endlessly, and the warship of the Xiliang Army had already ejected the steel cones and firmly inserted them into the big ship of the bandits. Lin Shihong smiled, he knew that although the five-tooth giant ship was extremely powerful, it was too bulky and heavy, and it needed other warships to escort it in order to exert great power. This kind of warship of the Western Liang Army, also known as the thorn boat, is mainly responsible for interception, as long as the enemy ship is trapped, it will be dragged back, and it will be smashed one by one with the slapping rod of the five-tooth giant ship. His war drums have changed again, and he has ordered all the boats to attack!
Now that the waterways are crisscrossed, the giant ships are all trapped and immovable, even the five-toothed giant ships are also trapped in it!
The boat moved forward like a fish, and suddenly the fire flickered, and the original inky blue lake surface was shining with golden light. Pharmacist Lin suddenly shouted, "Big brother, it's not right. ”
"What's wrong?" Lin Shihong frowned and asked. As he spoke, Xiaozhou was already about to kill the five-tooth giant ship, and Lin Shihong was ecstatic and forgot all the crises.
"Big brother, look at it." Lin Yaoshi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the left flank, Lin Shihong turned his head to look, and found that the bandits had already killed the big ship, "What's wrong?" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, this attack was too smooth, even if Li Jing was a fool, he could symbolize the resistance of the surname, but the Western Liang army and navy had no other actions except for trapping their boats, those big ships were quiet and rarely moved, what about the Western Liang army on the ship?
The boat has rushed to the front of the five-tooth giant ship one after another, and the fire is raging, but Lin Shihong is covered in cold sweat, looking around, only to see that the night is deep in the distance, eerie and terrifying, suddenly there are bandits behind screaming, Lin Shihong's heart is beating wildly, shouting: "What's the matter? ”
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he already understood what was going on, only to see a fire in the distance, a fire actually spread from the lake, Lin Shihong looked down, his heart was broken, he didn't know when, there was already a thick layer of black oil floating on the lake behind him! The black oil burned when it caught fire, and in an instant, the rear and wings of the bandits were already a sea of fire, wrapping the thieves' big ship layer by layer. Lin Shihong was sweating profusely, Huo Ran came to his senses, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
In the distance, there were warships quietly moored on the lake, Li Jing looked at the fire in the distance, and muttered: "Two five-tooth giant ships, plus dozens of boats, Lin Shihong, your navy is worth this money." You are too far behind the cavalry, and you can't do it on the water! ”.
