Chapter 043: Good Birds

Mayday, not too hot, especially stationed under the shade of the mountain.

However, when Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wu, suddenly appeared in the big tent of the party, he still saw that this party captain was wearing a small coat, shirtless, and his strong chest was showing black and shiny chest hair, like a trapped tiger, circling in the tent.

As soon as he saw Zhao Dezhao, Dang Jin couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, crossed his hands and saluted: "Dang Jin has seen Chitose, Chitose is coming, how can he not make people say anything, the old party is dressed like this, it is rude." ”

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "The general is loyal and brave, and has a rough temperament, which has always been like this, how can it be strange to be alone." ”

Dang Jin only said yes, invited Zhao Dezhao to take a seat, roared again, called the veteran who was sleeping in the corner of the tent, and made a pot of tea for Zhao Dezhao, and then asked: "Chitose will return to Beijing tomorrow, when the time comes, the old party wants to lead the people to send off Chitose, the old party is thinking, after a while, I will go to see Chitose first, what are the arrangements in the camp, so please Chitose to show it, I didn't think that Chitose deigned to come, dare to ask Chitose, do you have any other instructions from the generals?" ”

Zhao Dezhao sighed lightly and said sadly: "This time the northern expedition to the Han Kingdom, my father is determined to win, and he is alone with the general to eat and sleep, and come at the same time, I thought that the Han Kingdom could be overcome in one fell swoop, and I didn't want to ...... The father died suddenly, and the dragon was ......"

When the party listened, a pair of tiger eyes couldn't help but contain tears, and persuaded: "The old party didn't expect that the official dragon and tiger body would not be uncommon to sit in the world for another 30 years, but it was ......, there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the thousand years old asked for condolences and changes." ”

Zhao Dezhao burst into tears and said gloomily: "When my father was here, he was committed to unifying the Central Plains, retrieving Youyan in the coming day, unifying the Han Dynasty, and returning the world to a peaceful world. Youyan is now in the hands of the Khitans, and if you are not fully prepared, you will not be able to start a war easily. But the small Han country can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, and there is no need to worry. Now the Khitan is worried about internal and external troubles, unable to take care of it, this is a God-given opportunity, once lost, I don't know what else will change. ”

He raised his head, looked at the party, and said angrily: "Thinking about it, I have the heart to complete my father's will, continue to send troops, pacify the Han Kingdom, and then return to Beijing to raise filial piety, and burn this great victory to my father's soul in the sky to comfort my deceased father, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

Dang Jin's color changed suddenly, and he muttered: "I'm afraid that it will go against the will of the official." ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "The opportunity is fleeting. ”

Dang Jin hesitated: "This ......"

Zhao Dezhao hurriedly said: "This is my father's will, and it is also the last great achievement of my Song Kingdom to conquer the world and expand the country, and it is a rare opportunity." Lonely young and shallow, he wants to complete the will of the first emperor, and he is afraid that it will violate the holy will, what should he do, and he can't make up his mind, so he came to find the old general and asked Uncle Dang to give his nephew an idea. ”

Dang Jin hurriedly left his seat and thanked: "Chitose is polite, the old party really doesn't deserve Chitose to be called that." This matter is too important for a non-party member to get an idea, and Chitose also allowed the old party to think about it carefully and discuss it with a few generals. ”

"Okay, then...... That lonely waited for the general to decide. ”

Zhao Dezhao got up and arched his hand, and said: "When the emperor was there, the general was brave and loyal, simple and straightforward, and he was the most reliable person. Now the opportunity is rare, as the so-called will be outside, the king's order is not affected. Moreover, we are now close to the Han Kingdom and far away from Bianliang, and the Han Kingdom is vulnerable, and great achievements are within reach. Once the Han State is taken, even if it is overcome, the official family will not blame, and I hope the general will think twice. Lone King, wait for the general's good news. ”

This plan is the idea that Taifu Zongjiezhou came up with, the real cause of the death of the first emperor cannot be easily said before determining the intentions of the generals, otherwise he will cut off all his back roads, once the generals refuse to obey, then there is no second way except to commit suicide.

Now that the emperor's will is forced to force each other, and the merit of destroying the country and expanding the territory, and the generals are not persuaded by the orders of the foreign monarchs, if the generals have the intention of resisting the decree and marching, then they can naturally continue to resist the decree. Even if they are willing to march into the army and refuse to rebel, they can only disobey the strict orders of the present and leave the garrison with them, they can also publicize externally that the generals have rebelled, and bluntly say the truth about the murder of the first emperor internally, and coerce them to rebel with righteousness and fait accompli.

Now Zhao Dezhao's words are earnest, and he has pushed the problem into the hands of the party. He also knew that the armies of the Northern Expedition had their own subordinates, and although the party was the most authoritarian, if he wanted to make a rash decision, he would inevitably have some scruples, and it was his inevitable reaction to discuss with several main generals, so he could only go back and wait, not daring to show his impatience.

After Zhao Dezhao left, Dang Jin turned around, patted his thigh for the last time, and shouted: "Come on, ask Pan Mei to come to see me." ”

After a while, Pan Mei dressed in a military uniform, and went to the handsome tent of the party in a strict and neat manner, and hugged her fists in the tent and said: "Pan Mei has seen the party handsome, the party handsome ......"

As soon as he looked up, he saw Dang Jin with a pair of bare feet, wearing a shoulder-length gown, sitting cross-legged on the couch with a grin, like an old farmer looking at the melon shed, waving at him: "Okay, okay, it's not a general, what are you doing wearing a suit of armor, sit down, sit down." ”

Pan Mei smiled slightly, stepped forward and sat on the edge of Dang Jin's couch, and asked, "What did the Taiwei call me to do?" ”

Dang Jin sighed and said: "Zhong Xun, the old party has a major matter in his heart that he will never go down, so I want to discuss it with you, you kid has a lot of eyes and thinks carefully, let's calculate this matter together." ”

Dang Jin repeated what Zhao Dezhao said to him, and Pan Mei listened to it and said in a deep voice: "If you follow what King Wu said, if you win, you will have endless troubles." ”

Dang Jin nodded and said, "This...... The old party knows. ”

Pan Mei looked at Dang Jin with some surprise, Dang Jin lowered his gaze and did not look at him, but said slowly: "Although Chitose is the prince and the army, he does not know soldiers, and he has a modest temperament, and he has never been good at fighting bravely......

He paused, and sighed again: "On the day of leaving Beijing, the first emperor personally sent me out of Wanshengmen, three bowls of Zhuangxing wine were drunk, the first emperor was full of martial arts, the dragon body was strong, and the body was three points stronger than my old party, and he was violently ill, and the facts of the world were unpredictable, and the king of Wu mourned, and wanted to make immortal achievements to comfort the first emperor, and this thought was also out of a ......piece of filial piety."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Pan Mei, although his official son was taller than Pan Mei, and he was even favored by Zhao Kuangyin, but the army paid more attention to factional background than civilian officials.

He was originally the attendant of Du Chongwei, a military minister of the Jin Dynasty, Du Chongwei was killed and exiled in the Central Plains, joined the army, and soon was promoted to the scattered commander of the Zhou Dynasty with his military exploits, and then accumulated to the iron cavalry Yu Marquis, after Zhao Kuangyin won the world, he moved to the military capital colonel, led the history of Qinzhou assassination, and slowly became the center.

And Pan Mei and Zhao Kuangyin, before Zhao Kuangyin was called the emperor, they had a deep friendship, and supported Zhao Kuangyin, he was also one of the participants, he was the founder of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had the merit of the dragon.

Pan Mei's face changed slightly, and when she raised her eyes to look at Dang Jin again, Dang Jin's expression was calm, and she seemed to be just feeling.

Pan Mei lowered her head, her face cloudy. In the past, he was Sejong's Chai Rong general, Chai Rong was here, he swore to protect him, Chai Rong died, but he was loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, who usurped the throne and stood on his own, why not? Even if you don't live for the common people in the world, but only think about yourself, you should be a master to protect. As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, could it be that they raised troops to kill Zhao Kuangyin and help protect a seven-year-old child who is ignorant of the world?

If Zhao Kuangyin is here, Pan Mei will not frown if he goes to the fire, but no matter what the reason is, Zhao Guan's family is already popular after all, between Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao, who should be chosen? Even though Zhao Guangyi is unbearable, but Zhao Dezhao has become a martial artist, which aspect can convince the public? Besides, Zhao Dezhao is not Zhao Kuangyin, and now the military heart is comparable to the Chen Qiao army in the past?

After thinking for a while, Pan Mei finally sighed softly: "The first emperor has gone, leaving only a huge country for future generations to clean up." At the beginning of the Chen Qiao mutiny, the yellow robe was added, and it was ...... Today, ......, alas, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the high-spirited young man of that day is already gray. ”

He said vaguely, as if reminiscing about the old things, sighed lightly, and said to the party again: "The world ...... At the beginning of the peace, people's minds ......are peaceful, the first emperor is eloquent and strategic, no one can match, what does Taiwei think today? ”

Dang Jinluo groaned and said: "Now that we are governing the country and upholding the government, except for the first emperor, I am afraid that I will not be a second person who wants to ......."

Pan Mei bowed her head lightly: "In this case, why worry that the Han Kingdom cannot be destroyed in the hands of today?" During the state funeral, a strict decree has been issued that all the armies should be stationed in the same place, and not a single soldier or soldier should be mobilized. Moreover, the grain and grass have stopped, only the daily needs are supplied by the locality, the grain and grass are continuous, the soldiers and horses are not good, although the Han State is weak, after all, it is a country, how can it send troops rashly? ”

He paused slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Also, Hu Jie's right wing commander Yang Guangyi is the capital of the Chinese army, he has the strongest friendship with Jinshang, if the captain wants to resist the order and send troops, how can General Yang have no objection?" Then there is Hedong Xin, Dai and other states to camp Ma Bujun supervisor Guo Jin, a local prince, and Taiwei has never had any dealings, Taiwei is willing to complete the will of the emperor and resist the will, Guo Jin's army is definitely unwilling to follow.

Yan Yanjin was the same all the way. Huyanzan all the way...... Or it's no big deal, Sun Yanxuan and Qi Yanchen's two route armies are only between the two, this is only the generals in the army, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Taiwei headquarters, once they know that the Northern Expedition is to resist the order, not only is it useless but also has a fault, it will inevitably be discouraged, and the Mo Dao Han Kingdom is easy to destroy. ”

Pan Mei calmed down, analyzed carefully and objectively, and the more Dang Jin listened, the colder he became, and finally sighed and said, "But ...... How does King Wu explain there? ”

After all, King Wu is the eldest son of the first emperor, and no one can predict the affairs of the royal family, God knows if he will come out of the day, offending a prince for no reason is not a good thing after all.

Pan Mei was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "You can invite King Wu, and the generals will discuss ......, there is a so-called ...... The law does not hold the public accountable. ”

Dang Jin nodded heavily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao's wife has arrived in Jiangxian County peacefully.

It was evening again, Wang Baocai and Gongsun Qing sat in the house, sitting relatively dry, speechless for a long time, and even a little crying without tears.

Yang Hao was on the road the next morning in Zaohua Town, and suddenly designated the route of travel, he was the envoy of the court, which way to go, Gongsun Qing and Wang Baocai naturally had no chance to put their beaks, so they had to obey. At noon, when he arrived at a small town, Yang Hao saw that everyone was in a hurry, so he ordered someone to take out the wine that was delivered by Yuanren when he was in the north of Wapo Jibei, and invited everyone to taste it.

Thanks to the housekeeper's vigilance, he ordered someone to try the wine first, and a silver hairpin of the girl Zhuyun poked into it, and it immediately turned black, bluffing everyone to shout luck. Yang Hao, who was frightened and angry, made people carefully open the umbrella, and a puff of poisonous needles shot out of it, this time Yang Hao was all the soldiers, all the way, the car was often changed, and every time he took a ride, his cronies and family members carefully checked it first, and the food was only made by his own cook, and never passed through the hands of a third person.

In this regard, at first, Gongsun Qing also told Wang Baocai with ridicule that he had been promoted and knew how to spare his life, but he soon couldn't laugh. I don't know where Yang Hao offended so many people, no wonder he was careful along the way, poisoning, assassination, and ambushing are endless, none of Yang Hao's people died, but Wang Baocai's subordinates hung up a lot.

Have you ever seen someone who wants to assassinate someone being assassinated all day long, and the person they are going to assassinate is still walking among them, protected by them?

"Never ...... It can't be like this! ”

Lord Gongsun was heartbroken.

Wang Baocai immediately nodded, and then said worriedly: "But...... He's so alert now, how to do it? ”

Gongsun Qing glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Didn't you say that your subordinates are the best assassins, enough to make him stand tall in his sleep?" Why is he alive and well now? ”

Wang Baocai said aggrievedly: "My lord, I am a samurai, not a ninja, but I also know that although they are rumored to be miraculous, they are not omnipotent. When a ninja suddenly jumped down from a tree and slashed at a person's head, who would have thought that he had been squatting there for five hours wearing a tree coat and enduring mosquito bites? When a ninja suddenly turned out from under the bed and stabbed him in the throat in someone else's sweet dream, he may have been digging underground for ten days, in order not to make a sound, he could only dig the soil with his hands, and the blood was dripping ......, this Yang Hao's whereabouts are uncertain every day, and he will never stay in one place for more than one night, and the people around him are ......"

"Alright, alright......"

Gongsun Qing said impatiently: "I'm a powerless literati, you have to take full responsibility for this kind of thing, if you can't complete the mission, you know what the consequences are, now you say, what should I do?" ”

Wang Baocai gritted his teeth and said: "Ninja, good at all kinds of assassination. Not just assassinations, but also open killings. Now Yang Hao is very vigilant, the chariot and horse honor guard can't put hidden weapons, and the assassin killer can't get close to him, so ...... The best way to do it...... There's only one left. ”

Gongsun Qing leaned forward and asked urgently, "What way?" ”

Wang Baocai said word by word: "Beauty, people, and plans!" ”
