Chapter 300: The Capture of Uiju (Part II)
Throughout the ages, there is always a not very good habit of inviting guests to dinner, and they like to drop the cup in the middle of the meal, and a few people have to die more or less when the cup falls, and the bloody bridge of the ambush knife and axe hand under the corridor has not been used by many people, and the available people always seem to be tired, and the people who are invited do not seem to have a long memory......
In order to eat a delicious meal, you can even live without it, and the historical precipitation of Chinese food culture often contains the blood and tears of countless foodies who died at the banquet.
So Qin Kan decided to eat the night banquet with a little more novelty, to change the bad habit of Chinese people who like to kill people when eating for thousands of years, you can kill if you want, don't kill at the banquet, it's disgusting.
In the city of Yizhou, the night lights are on, in front of a restaurant called "Hongbin Building", the officials of the prefect's yamen cleared the field early, and the lights were bright all around, and the officials of Yizhou Mansion walked smoothly and gathered in front of the restaurant one after another, chatting while waiting for the Lord Qincha to come to appreciate the light.
According to the rules of officialdom, Lord Qincha will not come until at least one o'clock in the morning, the time is still very early, and it is only one hour at this time, and the dinner party begins at two o'clock, and all the officials gather together in a hurry and chat quietly, quietly discussing the purpose of Lord Qincha's visit to Yizhou.
Liu Pinggui came the latest, and as soon as he got off the official sedan chair, a group of officials stepped forward to greet him.
Liu Pinggui was smiling, but his eyes looked up at the sky from time to time, and then glanced in the direction of the city gate.
Qian Xian and the generals of the guard have not yet arrived, although the time is still early, maybe Qian Xian and they are on their way into the city, or maybe they ......
Liu Pinggui's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that something big would happen tonight.
Twist your eyebrows and think about it. Suddenly, I heard a loud shout in the distance: "Qin sent Lord Qin to-"
Liu Pinggui was taken aback, and all the officials also looked at each other in surprise.
At the dinner party at two o'clock, what did Lord Qincha do so early? This...... It doesn't seem to conform to the rules of officialdom.
***************************************************************
Qian Xian was on his way to the banquet.
Before setting off from the barracks outside the city to enter the city for the banquet, Qian Xian deliberately paid careful attention to the Jingshi warrior battalion as the honor guard of the Qin mission, and he even led his entourage to sneak quietly to the vicinity of the warrior camp to take a look at their camp.
At a glance, Qian Xian couldn't help but admire more and more, the camp layout of the warrior camp was in good order, and the military tents were scattered. The soldiers in the battalion kept patrolling. The so-called expert gatekeeper, Qian Xian only glanced at it, and he deeply felt that the generals who led the troops had some real skills, and they were not indiscriminate.
This team is under the jurisdiction of the Jingshi Imperial Horse Supervisor, and is known as the most elite soldiers and horses in the world.
After Qian Xian saw it, his mood became heavier and heavier.
There is already a war on the ground in Liaodong, and now there is another Lord Qincha with an elite army, what will he do in Liaodong? I'm afraid that Mr. Li of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion will not let this bad Qincha make trouble, right?
The generals and generals in the border towns are inextricably linked with each other, and they eat empty salaries. Withholding military spending is a common thing, and it is also common to indiscriminately kill innocent people to be used as Tartar heads. Every winter, the Tartars commit robbery, the resistance of the border army is actually not very effective, often after the Tartars return from plundering, the border army tries to get a few hundred heads to change the appearance of the Tartars to the Beijing Division, this is the so-called "great victory" sent to the Beijing Division every year.
Qincha's trip to Liaodong was clearly to deal with Li Gao, but Li Gao was the bond of interest that maintained them on the ground of Liaodong, and he knew the secrets of the generals on the entire ground in Liaodong. If Li Gao is finished, none of these border town generals will be able to escape, and to say the least, it will be a flow of thousands of miles.
Thinking of this, Qian Xian's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and then a fierce light appeared in his eyes.
I have a lot to do with it, and I want to kill this Qincha! can't let him return to Beijing alive, let alone let him do Commander-in-Chief Li, and the lid of Liaodong can't be lifted. Many people will die if they are exposed, including Qian Xian himself.
…………
…………
It was easy to kill the Qin Cha and the two thousand honor guards unknowingly, because Liaodong was very chaotic, and it was beyond the imagination of the imperial court. The officers and soldiers of the guard, the local village regimental training, the bandits who occupy the mountains as the king, and the small Tatar army that often invades the territory of the Ming Dynasty and loots, etc., Lord Qincha can have various ways to die, Qian Xian can completely help Qin Kan choose one, of course, the imperial court will inevitably be condemned, so Qincha must not die in the defense area of Yizhou Wei......
Riding his horse slowly on the way to Yizhou City, Qian Xian's mind was still pondering Qin Kan's death, but Qin Kan had already chosen Qian Xian's death first.
The change happened very suddenly, less than ten miles away from Yiju City, and there was a sudden sound of whizzing arrows on the two small hills on both sides of the suburban road, and a guard beside Qian Xian suddenly fell off the horse without snorting.
Qian Xian, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knew what this sound was, and when his color changed, he was extremely agile, his body was shortened, one foot left the stirrup, and he hugged the horse's neck with both hands, hiding himself on the side of the horse's belly, avoiding this terrible rain of arrows.
The rest of the guards reacted at the moment of the accident, they were all people who followed Qian Xian to live and die, and they naturally knew how to deal with the accident, everyone learned from Qian Xian's appearance, hid their bodies on the side of the horse's belly, urged the horse to move closer to Qian Xian, and used the huge body of the horse to surround Qian Xian in the middle, and the arrows came one after another, but Qian Xian's guards showed good fighting quality, dodging the surprise attack of the arrows without saying a word, even if someone was hit by the arrow, they fell to the ground silently, At this time, any shouts were to no avail, and the enemy had obviously been in ambush on the outskirts for a long time, and they were coming at Qian Shuai.
Qian Xian hid under the belly of the horse, his expression was shocked and angry, his face was red and white, white and green, and he was constantly changing ways, and there were guards beside him who fell to the ground with arrows, and he left two thousand households to guard in the military camp for a banquet in the city tonight, and only brought more than 20 guards and one thousand households with him, and only about a dozen people were left alive.
Who the hell wanted his life?
Qian Xian's mind immediately appeared Qin Kan's annoying smiling gentle face. Then his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
I have led soldiers for half my life, and I have fought no less than 100 times on the battlefield, but I was finally defeated in the art of war of "strike first to be strong", ashamed! The general of the hundred battles was one step away from being defeated by a young man who was born as a scholar.
Qin Kan...... How could he? How dare he? What's the use of killing me a Qian Xian in the Liaodong Bureau?
Qian Xian's face was a dead gray of despair, and he laughed silently.
…………
…………
Finally learned the means of Qin Cha, do things without moving, as soon as you make a move, it is a fatal killing move, ruthless and cruel, without mercy. This ambush was obviously specifically aimed at him Qian Xian, and judging from the overwhelming rain of arrows, Qin Kan had at least five hundred men and horses in ambush on the hills on both sides of this suburban road.
500 people, just to deal with his mere 20 people......
A guard with several arrows stuck in his back desperately pulled the reins of the horse, protected Qian Xian with his flesh and blood, pushed him onto the horse, jerked him on the horse's buttocks, and shouted with the last strength of the rest of his life: "Qian Shuai, run!" Go back to the guardhouse! It's important to save your life! ”
The horse braved the arrows in the sky to carry Qian Xian away, and couldn't help but turn back. But he saw that the rain of arrows on the hills on both sides had stopped. Hundreds of warrior battalion soldiers in dark red uniforms sprung up, each with a steel knife in their hands. Qian Xian's guards only resisted a few times before they were killed in the chaos.
Qian Xian's eyes were about to erupt with fire, he bit his lower lip tightly, watched the guards who had followed him from birth to death die one by one, with tears in his eyes, he slapped his horse's buttocks a few times, and ran in the opposite direction of the guard without hesitation.
Qian Xian did not do what the guards said before they died, Qian Xian is a general, take a step and look at a hundred steps, since Qin Kan has already moved to kill him, presumably the three thousand households under his command are also in Qin Kan's calculations. It is impossible to have no follow-up moves, and the guard office is already unable to return, so the only way to do this is to rush to Liaoyang Commander-in-Chief Li as soon as possible to try to get back.
Lying on the horse's back and running for hundreds of feet, just when Qian Xian thought he had escaped, a sharp arrow shot out of the dense forest by the side of the road steadily and accurately, and an arrow hit the horse's neck, which also shattered all his illusions.
Then. Another sharp arrow shot mercilessly from the other end, hitting Qian Xian's back, Qian Xian snorted and fell from the horse's back.
In the jungle. Ding Shun's old face with a bit of obscenity was revealed, looking at Qian Xian's corpse in the middle of the suburban road, he smiled, and said to himself: "The situation in Liaodong is unbreakable, killing you a Qian Xian is just the beginning......"
After speaking, Ding Shun turned his head and said loudly: "Qian Xian is dead!" Send an arrow to tell Ye Jinquan that he can do something to the Yizhou Guard! ”
A rocket soars upwards and explodes a brilliant firework in the night sky.
**************************************************************
Uiju City, inside Hongbin Building.
Qin Kan sat in a private room on the second floor wearing a black Confucian shirt, and the officials of all sizes in Yizhou, headed by Liu Pinggui, sat in a circle in order according to their ranks.
The rules of the officialdom of the Beijing division are not quite the same as those in the local area, and the officialdom of the Beijing division seems to pay more attention to qualifications. There are also rules for the seat of the jinshi, you can't sit randomly, the ten years of Hongzhi must be higher than the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, and the first Jinshi is higher than the second and third Jinshi, which is an unwritten officialdom rule formed for more than 100 years, and it is easy to break it, otherwise it is easy to form a grudge.
At the beginning, Qin Kan's father-in-law Du Hong went to the Nanjing Ministry to report on his work, but because of the dispute over the seat, he formed a big enmity with Shi Lu in the Criminal Department at that time, and the feng shui took turns, causing Du Hong to almost lose his position.
The rules of local officialdom are different from those of the Beijing Division, because the origins of local officials are too complicated, some are born in serious scientific examinations, some are born in Enke, and some officials such as Tui Guan Zhaoma do not need fame at all, so the local government seats are usually only seated according to the size of the grade.
Tonight's banquet in Hongbin Building has a typical local color.
Qin Kan, the lord of the Qincha, sat on the main seat, and next to him sat Liu Pinggui, the prefect of Yizhou, and Wang Songling, the same governor of Yizhou Mansion.
The banquet was staggered. The guests and hosts were happy, several stunning prostitutes sat not far from the private room and stroked the guqin and blow the pipe, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo echoed in the spacious Accord, the famous prostitutes had a pair of autumn-like wonderful eyes but from time to time swept on Qin Kan's handsome young face, the white onion-like fingers crossed the strings and pipes, and one after another or resentful or coquettish eye waves were frequently thrown towards Qin Kan alone, and the sound of ancient Athenian silk and bamboo was unprovoked and a little more ambiguous.
is only twenty years old, and he is already a famous official in the world, and he is the most trusted courtier under His Majesty today, and he also controls the brocade guard that makes the world fearful. Whether handsome, powerful, he has all the qualities to provoke a woman's affection, how can he teach those stunning prostitutes not to fall in love with each other? is to be his last concubine, this life is not worthwhile, it is already a great blessing for a dusty woman to find a rich man to rely on for a lifetime, not to mention a handsome young official with great power?
In the banquet full of guests, the famous prostitutes did their best. They all wanted Qin Kan to take a look at them more, and it was best to win the favor of this young high-ranking official. Point yourself as the person who waits for the pillow seat, after a night of bed fluke, from then on they can fly on the branches to be phoenixes, and it is unknown whether they will be a seven-grade lady in the future......
So, in the banquet for the Qin Cha tonight, the hustle and bustle coexisted with elegance, and the wine flew together. How can the concubine's heart be like water, and Lang's heart is like iron, but the handsome adult only cares about talking and laughing with the officials. His eyes didn't even glance at them, as if they didn't exist, and the incomprehensible Lord Qin really made the famous prostitutes hate and break their hearts.
Liu Pinggui naturally looked at the expressions of the famous prostitutes, raised his glass to Qin Kan and said: "Lord Qin, wine and sex are inseparable, adults patronize and drink, but they have snubbed these beauties." It's a big sin to be incomprehensible, don't you hear that the sound of the beautiful piano is a little resentful and hateful? ”
The officials present laughed loudly, but the pretty faces of several famous prostitutes gradually turned red, and they didn't know whether they were thin or deliberately contrived. But he glanced at Liu Pinggui with joy and disgust, obviously, this prefect who fought for them won the unanimous favor of all the women.
Qin Kan laughed bitterly a few times, the stallion in his previous life was said to be incomprehensible in this life, which was a great humiliation, but it was a pity that the sister-in-law at home and his adultery made him worry all day long, and he really didn't dare to provoke such a beautiful trouble as a woman anymore, if Du Yan found out that he had an adultery with Jin Liu, he would definitely be unloaded, and if he provoked another woman, he would be unloaded with sixteen pieces.
Eight and sixteen pieces are two completely different kinds of suffering, although they are both dead, Qin Kan still hopes that he will die peacefully.
In the realm where a leaf does not touch the body, some people are cultivated by themselves, but Qin Kan is forced out.
"Lord Liu, don't be sarcastic about me, this piano sound is resentment or hatred, I really can't hear it......" Qin Kan smiled awkwardly.
Liu Pinggui said with a smile: "Liu Xian, who was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wrote a good essay for the ages, called "Wenxin Carving Dragon", and the bosom friend chapter in it has clouds: 'Exercise a thousand songs and then know the sound, watch a thousand swords and then recognize the weapon.' ', Lord Qin's young man must be a gentleman who has been through the wind and moon for a long time, how can he not hear the elegance in this piano sound? ”
With a turn of his eyes, Liu Pinggui slowly glanced at the people in the banquet, and said with deep meaning: "Maybe Lord Qin's vision is too high, and he can't look down on the vulgar fans outside the gate, or maybe ...... Is it because Lord Qin is in a bad mood? Hehe, Yizhou Wei's Qian Commander is a martial artist, the temper of the martial artist, straight to the point, tonight absent from the adult's reception banquet, there must be something urgent, the next official here on behalf of the money commander to compensate the adult, and I hope the adult will forgive me. ”
Qin Kan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The words turned around, the previous sentence was still carving dragon style in Wenxin, and the next sentence immediately sowed discord, the split personality was so serious, how did this guy become the prefect?
Raising his glass with a smile and taking a sip of wine, Qin Kan's eyes glanced out of the window, looking slightly impatient.
Ding Shun and Ye Jinquan's two killings don't know if they succeeded, he really didn't want to socialize with these sour civil officials, tonight is the first step for him to clean up Liaodong, after tonight, the military power and power of Yizhou Mansion must all be in his hands, as for who is innocent and who deserves it, he can only wait for the power in his hands, and the Jinyi Wei will slowly investigate and screen it.
The meaning of Liu Pinggui's words Qin Kan is naturally clear, obviously making amends on behalf of Qian Xian, but the actual meaning is the opposite, he wants to arouse Qin Kan's anger towards Qian Xian, if nothing else, Qian Xian has been cleaned up by Ding Shun, but this Liu Pinggui is probably not much better.
Blinking, Qin Kan smiled and said: "Lord Liu is much more elegant than me, although I am from a Xiucai background, but in the past two years, I have only cared about the officialdom and drilled the camp, and I have forgotten all the books I have read. At least I don't understand what Wenxin carved dragon, and what is that sentence of a thousand songs......"
Liu Pinggui hurriedly accompanied the smile and said: "a thousand songs and then Xiaosheng." ”
"Oh......" Qin Kan nodded suddenly, and then his expression was solemn: "Who is ...... 'Qianqu'?" There is a 'Xiaosheng' behind a thousand songs? ”
Syllable!
The sound of the prostitutes' piano and flute was suddenly out of tune.
