Chapter 330: Liang Jun's Code of Conduct
Although Jingning City is not a majestic city, it is undoubtedly a relatively tall city. 40,000 people stationed inside the city, facing 10,000 people outside the city, no matter what, there will be no risk.
The army in Jingning City was divided into two factions, one was the thief army led by Li Xinbei, numbering about 20,000 people, and the other was the rebel army after the Guyuan Mutiny, and the leader was Zhao Yongyong.
Although the two armies cooperated, they secretly did not trust each other very much, as can be seen from the placement of their respective tents. After a few months of operation, Zhao's prestige among the rebels was very high, and although he looked hideous at first glance, the rebels were in awe of the general Zhao's style.
At this time, General Zhao had no general's demeanor at all, and stood respectfully in front of a man in brocade.
"I am very satisfied with your watch." The man in brocade stood under the eaves of the Jingning Prefecture Ya, looked at General Zhao who was standing respectfully beside him and said.
"The subordinates can have today, all of them depend on the painstaking cultivation of the sons." General Zhao bent his body lower, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Who would have thought that the man in brocade clothes would be Zhu Zijian, the son of King Han who suddenly disappeared in Pingliang City.
"I have come to this point, so naturally I have already given up the false name of that son, and I don't have to call me the son of the world in the future." Han Shizi Zhu Zijian said.
"What should my subordinates call you?"
"There is no way for the faint king, and the people are miserable! I followed the will of heaven to start things, and in the future, I will be the king of Shunyi. Our army is the Shunyi Army. Han Shizi said.
Zhao Yong is also quite good at coming to things, just stunned for a while, and then knelt down very naturally and saluted: "The last general Zhao will always knock on the king of Shunyi." ”
"Haha!"
Han Shizi Zhu Zijian laughed proudly. Beckoning will forever evoke Zhao.
"Lord Wang, the last general heard that the old prince and the princess are still being detained in Xi'an Mansion. Now that the prince is in trouble, why not wave his army into Xi'an. Rescue the old prince and princess? Zhao Yongyong said.
Zhu Zijian's voice paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Although this king complied with the will of heaven, but now after all, the soldiers and horses are weak and not enough to march into Xi'an. ”
Zhao Yongyong said worriedly: "The last general is just worried that if the time drags on for a long time, the court will be unfavorable to the old prince." ”
Zhu Zijian's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "For the sake of this king's plan, it is worth it for my father to make some sacrifices when necessary." ”
Zhao never spoke again.
After a while, the group broke into the Jingning Prefecture in great strides. Stand in front of Zhu Zijian. The leader was actually a young woman in a strong suit, the woman stood in front of Zhu Zijian with a calm face, just thinking that this woman had a high status in the city, although the soldiers of the Shunyi Army were annoyed that the woman broke in, but they didn't dare to really stop it, and they were embarrassed to block in front of the woman, but they didn't dare to touch her clothes.
Zhu Zijian waved his hand to let the soldiers of the Shunyi Army retreat, and chuckled: "The fourth lady has suddenly visited, and this king is very welcome." ”
The person who came was naturally Li Ting, the fourth lady of Li Jiajun. She asked suspiciously, "When did you become king?" ”
Zhu Zijian said proudly: "From the moment this king started the incident, this king is the king of Shunyi." ”
The fourth lady sneered, obviously disapproving of the self-proclaimed king. She asked in a deep voice: "The officers and soldiers outside the city are shouting and shouting outside all day, when will we wait until we leave the city?" ”
Zhu Zijian listened. He smiled mysteriously and said, "It's coming, at most in these two days." News will come. He looked into the eyes of the fourth lady and said, "The day the officers and troops retreat." It was when my Shunyi army went out of the city. ”
The fourth young lady snorted coldly and said suspiciously: "Are you so sure that the official army will withdraw?" I know Xu Liang. It's hard to get him to withdraw obediently. ”
Zhu Zijian chuckled silently.
The fourth lady looked at him for a long time, as if she was verifying the reliability of Zhu Zijian's words. There was a strange frenzy in Zhu Zijian's eyes, and in the eyes of the fourth lady, he even felt terrified.
"Well, we'll believe you again." The fourth lady said slowly.
"I will definitely not disappoint General Li and Miss Four." Zhu Zijian said confidently.
The fourth lady snorted, and suddenly said with a stern expression: "I have to state again, you and I are only a temporary cooperative relationship." After the siege of Jingning City was lifted, the two armies of you and me had nothing to do with each other. Moreover, you had better pray that the plan you said that day will be realized soon, because our Li Jiajun will only believe in you for three more days, and when the three days are up, whether the officers and troops withdraw or not, our Li Jiajun will forcibly break through the encirclement. ”
After the fourth lady finished speaking, her chin was raised, and she turned around and left.
The smile on the corner of Zhu Zijian's mouth suddenly disappeared, and his face was gloomy.
Zhao Yongyong said worriedly: "Shizi......, uh, Lord Wang, if there is no movement of the official army after three days, and the Li family army really breaks through, how should we deal with it?" ”
Zhu Zijian didn't answer Zhao Yongyong's question directly, he saw that the fourth lady was about to walk out of the main gate of the Yamen of Jingning Prefecture, his hands tightened, and he said hatefully: "If it weren't for the fact that Li Jiajun was still a little useful, how could this king allow you to be so rude!" Wait, wait for Gao Zilin to return, and when the wolf smoke rises everywhere, this king will let you understand what a stake this king is. ”
The day of siege by the officers and soldiers has passed. Night falls.
In the big tent of the official army and the Chinese army, Xu Liang and General He sat opposite each other, and there were cups of steaming tea on the coffee table in front of them, but neither of them looked at the tea. Mr. He's brows were furrowed, and his face was worried.
Xu Liang asked, "Do you really want to leave?" ”
He Zongbing said: "You have to go." He looked at Xu Liangying's confused eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to squeeze out some smiles, but the worry on his face was even stronger.
"Lord Wu, the governor of the three sides, Xu Liang, you may not know enough deeply. Although Governor Wu said that he was older and softer, he was by no means confused. If it weren't for an extremely urgent matter, Governor Wu would never have summoned me back urgently. ”
sighed regretfully: "It's just a pity that the siege has been hard in the past few days." As soon as you leave, the 10,000 Liang troops under my command will definitely not be able to stop the 40,000 horses in the city. Have you ever thought about it, once the men and horses in the city are killed out of the city, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to rape and destroy them. ”
He Zongbing was silent for a while, but he still said persistently: "Master Wu summoned me as the governor of the three sides, and I can't help but go back." The war here will be handed over to you, Lord Xu. ”
Xu Liang knew that the matter was irreparable, and it was useless to say more, so he sighed deeply, shook his head, and walked out of the Chinese army's big tent.
That night, the soldiers who accompanied General He on the expedition began to quietly pack their bags, and took advantage of the night, under the leadership of General He, to quietly evacuate the official and military tents overnight.
Xing Zhongshan, Luo Rucai, Wan Wenshan, Dai Yingying and others accompanied Xu Liang to stand outside the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the army of more than 3,000 people, without lighting torches, and disappearing into the deepest part of the night outside the camp blindly.
"He's just gone?" Pioneer officer Luo Rucai said, his tone was angry and angry, and he was very uncalm.
"The governors of the three sides have summoned each other, what can he do if he doesn't leave?" Xu Liang is quiet and authentic.
Luo Rucai's face turned red and said, "My lord, you said that you will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected!" ”
Xu Liang was silent for a while, looked at Luo Xianxian, and said seriously: "This is the order of the governor." ”
"Huh?" Luo Xianfeng was stunned, seeing that Xu Liang was so serious, Luo Xianfeng didn't react for a while, and said secretly, isn't the king's order greater than the governor's order?
Xu Liang ignored Luo Rucai's dumbfounded, his eyes looked to the north, and secretly guessed what happened to Guyuan City? It was unexpectedly possible for Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, to be in such a hurry to recall the famous He General Soldier.
The generals around him didn't speak for a while, and there was a brief silence in front of the Chinese army's tent. Then, the tranquility was broken, and Xing Zhongshan, the deputy general of the Liang army, asked the most concerned question: "General He is gone, what should we do?" ”
Xu Liang couldn't help but recall the urgent letter he had read, Governor Wu asked General He to return urgently, but he didn't mention anything about Xu Liang and Liang Jun. After the return of General He's soldiers, the Liang army fought or left, and Governor Wu did not say a word.
Everyone looked at Xu Liang, waiting for him to make up his mind. Xu Liang groaned, and suddenly asked Xing Zhongshan, "How many people are there in Jingning City?" ”
Xing Zhongshan stretched out four fingers and said, "No less than this number." ”
Xu Liang was silent again, and after a while, he chuckled and said, "He can go, why can't we go?" ”
Hearing Xu Liang's words, all the generals showed relaxed smiles on their faces. Everyone felt that it was really cold outside, the cold wind was swishing, and everyone surrounded Xu Liang into the big tent of the Chinese army, ordered people to light a charcoal fire, and a group of people gathered around the stove to roast the fire.
In the process of roasting the fire, Dai Yingying endured it a few times, and finally found that she couldn't help it, she looked at Xu Liang and asked weakly, "But...... Xianggong, didn't Master Wu say that we should also withdraw? ”
Xu Liang said calmly: "Master Wu also didn't say that we can't withdraw. ”
"But ......"
"No, but." Xu Liang looked at her and said seriously: "Our Liang Army's code of conduct is that if there is no explicit prohibition, then you can do it boldly." (To be continued......)
