Chapter 540: Light Splitting the Heart

readx; After a while, the soldier brought in a middle-aged scholar, who was thin and small, with an ugly appearance, and a few sparse rat whiskers, if you look closely, this person is still a little lame, Ji Guangchen's personal soldiers in the big tent couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and even Ji Guangchen himself frowned, is this Li Guangbi's envoy? How can it be so obscene? He couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt for Li Guangbi in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ji Guangchen's face is as white as jade, his appearance is handsome, coupled with his tall stature, he has always been known as the first beautiful man in the capital, he is very conceited about his appearance, and when he saw that there was an ugly person, he immediately became unhappy in his heart.

Ji Guangchen knew about Li Guangbi's situation, Ge Shuhan and An Sishun didn't look down on this person back then, and treated him as if he was a bow ball, kicking back and forth between Shuofang, Longyou, and Hexi, and finally was sent to Anxi by Ge Shuhan, but he was reused by Li Qingan, and it is said that he mixed well in Anxi.

Despite this, Ji Guangchen always felt that there was no general in Shuzhong, Liao Hua was the pioneer, and there were no famous generals in Anxi, so that abandoned goods like Li Guangbi could also be mixed in Anxi.

Today, Li Guangbi sent another envoy who was not good-looking, which made Ji Guangchen, who was born in Wuju and has always been arrogant, first despise Li Guangbi a little.

The middle-aged scholar dragged his feet into the big tent, bowed to Ji Guangchen, and said, "Humility, lowliness is... Li Guang... The general, the general's tent... Cai Jinglun. ”

In the big tent 'Boom!' Ji Guangchen glared at the soldiers, although he didn't like it, but he was the main general, and he couldn't be rude, so he couldn't bear his displeasure and said to the middle-aged scholar: "Mr. Cai brought me some letter!" ”

He didn't believe that this stammering scholar could be a lobbyist, and usually brought Li Guangbi's letters to himself, but this scholar didn't have a letter, his face was swollen red, and he stammered even more: "Li, General Li, let... Humble position, bring and bring a message to General Ji and Ji. ”

"That's it!"

Ji Guangchen finally couldn't help it, he waved his hand and said, "Give him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let him write it." ”

Cai Jinglun took a step back, glared at Ji Guangchen and said, "Ji, why does General Ji despise me?" ”

"I didn't despise Mr., it is precisely because I attach importance to it that I let Mr. write it in writing, so that I respect you General Li, don't be suspicious, go and write!"

Cai Jinglun was taken down by his own soldiers, Ji Guangchen leaned on the back of the chair, looking thoughtfully outside the big tent, he thought that it would be Li Qingan who sent someone to negotiate with him, but he didn't expect that it was Li Guangbi who sent someone, which shows that Li Guangbi is eager to invite merit and wants to take over himself before Li Qingan, will this be an opportunity to delay time?

At this time, a personal soldier stepped forward and handed a piece of paper to Ji Guangchen, "General, that stammering is written." ”

Ji Guangchen took the letter, and saw that the handwriting on it was chic and elegant, and the stammering man actually wrote a good handwriting, he nodded secretly, and could see that this scholar did have some talent, although he was talented, but Li Guangbi sent him as an envoy, indicating that he was not using people properly, which was like sending chickens to plow the fields and sending cattle to fight the watch, this Li Guangbi was really not very good, which made Ji Guangchen despise Li Guangbi a little more in his heart.

He looked at the letter again, and the letter was Li Guangbi's promise that if he Ji Guangchen was willing to surrender, then he would ensure that he was still the envoy of Zheng Caijie, and reward him with 50,000 yuan, and never break his promise, hoping that he would think about his future.

This promise was expected by Ji Guangchen, but he saw a clue from this incident, which should also be Li Qingan's intention, wanting to solve his army satisfactorily, but Li Guangbi was eager to invite merit, so he sent someone to convince him first.

Is it really that simple?

Although Ji Guangchen looked down on Li Guangbi a little, he knew that Li Qingan was powerful, and he could despise Li Guangbi, but he didn't dare to despise Li Qingan.

Ji Guangchen slowly paced in the big tent with his hands behind his back, he was repeatedly considering Li Qing'an's true intentions, Li Qing'an's eastward expedition was obviously to absorb Li Heng's 150,000 troops left in the Central Plains, he brought not many troops into the pass, I heard that there were only 100,000 people, and these 100,000 people to deal with An Lushan's 500,000 army is obviously far from enough, the inclusion of 150,000 troops will greatly enhance his strength, in addition, Xingyang's more than 1 million stone grain he Li Qing'an will certainly not give up.

'Stabilize the army! ’

A thought popped up in Ji Guangchen's heart, this thought made him extremely excited, he walked quickly to the map, he felt that he had seen through Li Qing'an's true intentions.

At present, Li Heng left 150,000 troops in the Central Plains, in addition to Li Huan's 30,000 troops in Hanzhong, there are also 20,000 troops of Dong Qin in Hedong, as well as his own 30,000 troops, and then there is Xu Shuji's 70,000 army, Xu Shuji is now the envoy of the Huapu Festival, in fact, the scope of his jurisdiction also includes Bian, Cao, Song, Yan, Xu five states, among the four warlords, Xu Shuji is the first major force, the largest army, the widest range of influence.

Li Qing'an should deal with him first instead of himself, if he attacks himself first, he will inevitably startle the snake and force Xu Shuji to An Lushan, Hebei, or defect to Li Lu, the king of Wu, so Li Qingan asked Li Guangbi to stabilize himself first.

It should be like this, Ji Guangchen sneered, no matter how cunning Li Qingan is, he can't escape his eyes, why doesn't he hope so?

What he needs now is time, if he can delay for another half a month, Li Heng should attack Jingxiang, then he can attack from the north, not only to get rid of Li Qing'an's threat, but also to make a great achievement, Li Heng is likely to let him come to guard Jingxiang.

At this moment, a scout came to report, "Report to the general, we have found a large army walking along the Yellow River to the north, heading in the direction of Huazhou. ”

"As I expected!"

Ji Guangchen was pleasantly surprised, Li Qingan's intentions were really seen through by him, they really wanted to stabilize themselves, and the army went to collect Xu Shuji's army.

He immediately wrote a letter and handed it to a personal soldier and said, "You go to Chen Liu, give this letter to Xu Shuji, and tell him to be careful of Li Qing'an's sneak attack." ”

Ji Guangchen slowly walked to the big tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the north and muttered to himself: "Go fight!" In a month, I've done a lot of things. ”

......... Just before Li Guangbi's staff Cai Jinglun sent an envoy to Xingyang, Li Guangbi's 20,000 troops had quietly left Luoyang, around Dengfeng County in the south, along the Songshan trail to the north, the army went straight to Xingyang, 20,000 cavalry day and night, did not take the official road, picked up the remote path, only two days later, the army arrived at a mountain col 30 miles south of Xingyang, here is a hilly area, the valley is deep and there are many holes, the forest is dense, the nearest official road is also 20 miles away, the location is very remote, there is only a small village of more than 100 households, It's called Huancui Village, and it's inaccessible.

At this time, it was almost dawn, Li Guangbi ordered 20,000 troops to be stationed on the spot, and sent hundreds of scouts to block the news, this place is very close to Xingyang County, once Ji Guangchen finds out, he is likely to give up his efforts.

Li Guangbi stood in front of the map, carefully studied the route of the march, the action plan was proposed by him, approved by Li Qing'an, long before leaving Chang'an, Li Guangbi carefully studied these Li Heng's generals, Ji Guangchen This person is from the military strategy department of Wuju, familiar with military books, it is said that he is very resourceful, and he is handsome, slender and tall, known as the first beautiful man in the Chang'an army.

But Li Guangbi pays more attention to his weaknesses, his weaknesses are obvious, he has stayed in Beijing for a long time, basically has no actual combat experience, and secondly, this person is more conceited, he has always looked down on the border generals, Tianbao six years An Sishun spent his life in Chang'an, and invited Chang'an military generals all over the place, almost everyone went, but this Ji Guangchen did not go, he attacked An Sishun and Ge Shuhan more than once.

looked down on old handsomes like An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, let alone himself, Li Guangbi seized Ji Guangchen's weakness and deliberately sent Cai Jinglun, a stammering staff, to negotiate with Ji Guangchen to be arrogant.

At this time, Cai Jinglun should have arrived in Xingyang County, and Li Guangbi waited for it to get dark, when several personal soldiers brought the village chief of Huancui Village in.

The village chief's surname is Chen, he is about fifty years old, very honest and honest, he knelt down when he came in and said: "Xiaomin Chen Sanlang knocks on the general." ”

"Village Chief Chen, please get up!"

Li Guangbi helped him up with a smile and said, "Village chief, please rest assured, our Anxi Army has always been strict in military discipline and will never harm the people." ”

"Xiaomin believes that the officers and soldiers have not committed any crimes so far."

Li Guangbi smiled and asked again: "Then how do you make a living, do outsiders often come?" ”

"General Huiyu, we are called Huancuiyu here, the valley is deep and dense, rich in medicinal materials, the people in our village all rely on collecting medicine for a living, every ten days will go to Xingyang County to sell medicine, by the way to buy some of the usual needs, the general outsiders rarely come to us, only occasionally there are pharmacists and merchants to come."

"Have the pharmacists and merchants been here?" Li Guangbi asked again.

"The pharmacist hasn't been here for a month, the merchant just left the day before yesterday, and the next time he comes will be at least three days later."

Li Guangbi nodded, he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How do you go from here to Xingyang?" ”

The village chief said: "We generally go to the official road first, go to Xingyang along the official road, although go around a little, but the official road is flat, but fast, at most one and a half hours to arrive, if you don't want to take the official road, then take the small road, although close, but time-consuming, it takes two hours to road." ”

When Li Guangbi heard that there was a trail, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Can the trail be a horse?" ”

"Yes, we all rode horses to Xingyang, but there was a section of the road that needed to lead the horses and walk ten miles."

Li Guangbi immediately made a decision, and he said to the village chief: "The village chief can find us two guides and take us to Xingyang tonight, and I will reward you heavily afterwards." ”

"No problem, my son often takes a small road to Xingyang, let him take the general there."

...... 20,000 cavalry rested in Huancui Village for a day, the sky had just darkened, and the 20,000 army marched towards Xingyang County under the leadership of the guide.
