Chapter 43: The Death of Wang Jiayin (1)
Wang Jiayin's strength is very strong now, and his momentum and prestige have also reached a peak, and no one thinks that he will fail in a short period of time.
Wang Jiayin's current people are not tens of thousands of people when he was in the meander, but more than 200,000. In the Yangcheng area, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, powerful peasant armies are now gathered around him. The peasant army that has fought for several years is not bad, although it is not as good as Cao Wenzhao's elite soldiers, but it can also fight, and with a large number of people, it has become the climate.
After Cao Wenzhao chased the peasant army to Yangcheng, he did not dare to attack. Although his soldiers are all elite soldiers, but the number is very small, only more than 3,000 people, if the peasant army is only 30,000 people, Cao Wenzhao still dares to fight. But in the face of so many peasant troops, Cao Wenzhao shook his head. In addition, the strength of the Ming army responsible for encirclement and suppression in the rest of the departments was not enough, and after several defeats and retreats in battles with the peasant army, Cao Wenzhao ordered the Ming army of his own department and other departments to monitor from a distance and no longer attack.
Cao Wenzhao summoned all the generals and came to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, but the generals looked at me, I looked at you, and there was no way.
Cao Wenzhao ordered the generals to withdraw, sat alone in the tent, ordered the soldiers to take the wine and meat, and drank it sullenly. This can't help but Cao Wenzhao is not depressed, Cao Wenzhao is a brave general, has always been the first in the battle with the enemy, wielding a big knife, slashing and killing, shouting, is the famous Cao Dadao! And at this time, sticking to the place, not to mention the blame of the court, will also damage his prestige.
At this time, his nephew Cao Bianjiao came to see him with a soldier.
Seeing Cao Bianjiao's happy face, Cao Wenzhao asked curiously, "Bianjiao, what makes you so happy?" ”
Cao Bianjiao said happily, "Uncle, we have a way to defeat Wang Jiayin!" ”
Cao Wenzhao's spirit was shocked: "Oh? Tell me about it. ”
Cao Wenzhao said to the soldiers beside him, "Zhang Weili, you come." ”
It turned out that the soldier's name was Zhang Weili, and he was originally from Dazhang Village, Fugu County. When Wang Jiayin occupied Fugu, he once took a fancy to a woman in Dazhang Village, who was beautiful and outstanding, and Wang Jiayin loved it very much. Later, Wang Jiayin brought the woman to the river meander, and when Wang Jiayin ascended the throne, he named the woman queen. Now, Wang Jiayin came to Yangcheng, and the woman was also brought along, and the queen was also surnamed Zhang.
The soldier named Zhang Weili brought by Cao Wenzhao was Queen Zhang's younger brother.
What the? Cao Wenzhao was surprised for a moment, there was such a coincidence! However, this Zhang Wei is immediately Wang Jiayin's brother-in-law, what did he bring to him? How can this position break the enemy? Cao Wenzhao was suspicious.
That Zhang Weili went on to say that he and Wang Jiayin have an enmity that they don't share!
Actually, the thing is very simple, every qiē is for fame.
Zhang Weili's sister had already been married, and the Zhang family was running it at that time, preparing to marry a daughter. But somehow, where did Wang Jiayin hear the rumors, saying that the daughter of the Zhang family was good-looking. Wang Jiayin came with troops and broke into the boudoir of the Zhang woman, and when he saw it, he was a celestial man, and without saying a word, he immediately achieved good things in the boudoir of the Zhang woman. Wang Jiayin was going to reward the Zhang family, but the war was urgent, so he put on his pants, dropped some silver taels, and took Zhang's daughter away.
For the Zhang woman to be kidnapped by Wang Jiayin, the entire Zhang family in Dazhang Village felt ashamed. At that time, people attached great importance to chastity, and a woman in the family was robbed by thieves and was even more disgraced. Therefore, when Cao Wenzhao attacked Fugu, Zhang Weili joined the army. He wants to be ashamed of his family, he wants revenge! He followed Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew to fight to the death with Wang Jiayin's peasant army, hoping to kill Wang Jiayin on the battlefield one day.
Cao Wenzhao nodded and understood. So, he kindly asked Zhang Weili, "Zhang Weili, what is your best plan?" ”
"There's no good way to do it yet, but when I infiltrate Wang Jiayin, I'll definitely come up with a way. One day, I will cut off that Wang Jiayin's head! Zhang Weili glared and gritted his teeth.
Cao Wenzhao nodded: "Okay!" On the day of success, I will definitely protect the court and reward you heavily! ”
"Adult, it's not for the sake of reward." What Zhang Weili said is true.
"You are loyal and brave, although it is for revenge, but this commander will definitely not treat you badly!" Cao Wenzhao began to promise.
"Xie Dashuai!" Zhang Weili nodded in thanks.
"You can go to the account office to withdraw the silver taels at will, regardless of the amount, I will send a few capable people to follow you, one is to protect your safety, and the other is to send the information from Wang Jiayin's office in time. Do you think that's good? Cao Wenzhao asked.
"Your Excellency is very thoughtful, mark it and prepare it." Zhang Weili saluted Cao Wenzhao and turned to leave.
So, Zhang Weili took a few of his subordinates, changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and went to Wang Jiayin in Touyang City.
Wang Jiayin recently fought with the Ming army, won one after another, and the momentum was huge, and the style was different. Now around Wang Jiayin, there are many generals, except for Wang Ziyong, Bai Yuzhu, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others, but all the famous leaders of the peasant army are attached. The small peasant army faced the elite Ming army, and after countless defeats, realized that the strength of the number of people is sometimes not just a slogan!
These days, the Ming army did not come to attack, and the peasant army attacked the Ming army, and the Ming army did not seem to dare to fight, and ran far away.
Wang Jiayin saw that the war had temporarily subsided, and the Ming army seemed to have nothing to do with him, so he returned to the city from the camp outside the city with joy.
The rest of the leaders also set up their ranks and entered the city one after another. Wang Jiayin had already told these people that he was going to feast on the generals. So, early this morning, all the leaders came to Wang Jiayin's palace, and the wine and food had already been prepared, so everyone threw off their cheeks and ate.
Everyone was drinking happily, and the soldiers came to say, "King Qiqi, there is a person outside the door who asks to see him, and he says that he is the younger brother of Queen Zhang, called Zhang Weili." ”
Everyone stopped their wine glasses, Wang Jiayin thought about it, because she heard Queen Zhang say that there was a younger brother at home, but Wang Jiayin didn't recognize it.
"Bring that Zhang Weili in!" Wang Jiayin ordered, then turned his head and instructed the palace people, "Go and invite Queen Zhang, just say that there is someone who claims to be her younger brother, let him come and see if it is or not." The palace man agreed.
Zhang Weili was brought in, and when he saw Wang Jiayin, he hesitated for a moment and knelt down.
"Your name is Zhang Weili? Where are you from? Are you really Queen Zhang's younger brother? Wang Jiayin asked.
Zhang Weili was not panicked in his heart, because his identity was not fake. He endured the anger in his heart, and told Wang Jiayin with a smile about his origin, but he didn't want to be a soldier under Cao Wenzhao, and the rest was said in an orderly manner.
At this very moment, "Brother! An exclamation came from the back hall, and immediately after, a young woman who was as beautiful as a flower and gorgeously dressed rushed out, followed by some palace people following closely.
"Sister!" Zhang Weili stood up and hugged Queen Zhang who rushed over, and the two of them burst into tears and cried bitterly.
The leaders were unconsciously happy, and the sister and brother were reunited.
Wang Jiayin saw that it was really his brother-in-law coming, he was overjoyed, raised his neck, drank a bowl of wine, and ordered, "Reward Zhang Weili with a thousand taels of silver!" Come on, come on, stop crying, come and sit next to me. Position, now you don't have to run around, follow me all the time, follow me and enjoy happiness! ”
