Chapter 69: Leak Out
At the same time, in the Zhizhou Mansion of Haikang County, Leizhou Prefecture.
Zhizhou Ge Lijun was on the high court, and a group of civil and military generals from Leizhou Mansion below were lined up on the left and right, sitting separately.
The master with two small beards stood next to Ge Lijun with a cunning face, he was born with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, and he looked extremely obscene.
Ge Lijun couldn't see joy or anger on his face, his eyes swept over the people in the hall, and said: "The Yuan army's defeat of Jinzhou, you must already know about it, right?"
Everyone in the hall nodded, but their expressions were different, some regretful, some happy, and some thoughtful.
Ge Lijun looked at all the expressions of these people, and said slowly: "What do you think we should do?"
As soon as the words came out, the person at the top of his left said: "The Yuan army has been destroyed, and the Song army has also suffered heavy losses.
His name is Qi Shucai, he is the head of the Leizhou Army, and he is also the brother-in-law of Ge Lijun. Ge Lijun's wife, the current Mrs. Zhizhou is his own sister. In some of these relationships, Qi Shucai is naturally a close friend of Ge Lijun.
When someone heard Qi Shucai's words, their color changed slightly, and they smelled something unusual.
Immediately, a bearded man in the hall suddenly became angry, and scolded him: "You traitor, you dare to speak so disrespectfully, we are the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty, holding the court's money, how dare you say such a rebellious thing?"
This bearded man is named Liu Hongqi, a famous fierce general in Leizhou Mansion, the commander of the Leizhou Flying Army, and the official worships the captain of the eight-rank imperial martial arts.
Of course, his official position is not as good as Qi Shucai's. Qi Shucai is the commander of the army and the training commander of the entire Leizhou army.
Seeing Liu Hongqi so angry, Qi Shucai didn't care at all, nor was he angry, he just chuckled and said, "You are a military general of the Great Song Dynasty, why didn't you go to your aid when Jinzhou was attacked?"
"That's not the Zhizhou ......"
Liu Hongqi looked at Ge Lijun, halfway through his words, he suddenly came to his senses, busily shut his mouth, and sat down.
Although he is reckless by nature, he is not a fool either. When the Yuan army attacked Zhoudao, he tried his best to ask Ge Lijun for his life and asked for reinforcements on Zhoudao, but Ge Lijun never allowed it. Now that Qi Shu said these words, of course he could also figure out Ge Lijun's thoughts.
Thinking of the recent gossip, Liu Hongqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Does Lord Zhizhou really want to invest in Yuan?"
He is a loyal person and will never abandon Song Touyuan, but he also knows that if he comes out now, he will only be cleaned up by Ge Lijun.
Ge Lijun saw Liu Hongqi sit down suddenly, a few sneers flashed in his eyes, and he said: "There is something in this mansion that I want to mention to you, there have been wars and chaos over the years, and the imperial court has not allocated money for a long time. but all your money has been sent down from the hands of your own house. ”
When the people below heard him say this, they immediately understood what he meant. He clearly wanted to oppose the Song Dynasty.
Those who were loyal to the king immediately bowed their hands and said, "We will only look forward to the lord and the horse!"
It has been nearly ten years since the monarch took charge of the Leizhou capital, and has cultivated great power here. These people who immediately expressed their stance accounted for the majority of the people in the church.
Immediately after, those Wenchen generals who were originally a little uncertain also surrendered, "I'll wait for the dispatch of the lord!"
When he arrived, there were only a few people left in the hall who did not express their position.
Liu Hongqi's heart was full of anger, and the hand hidden under the table was clenched tightly, but after looking at everyone in the hall and knowing that the overall situation had been decided, he thought about it a few times in his heart, and could only give up his hand and say: "The last general Liu Hongqi is willing to listen to the orders of the adults!"
As the commander of the Flying Army, he has always had prestige in the Leizhou Army, and the few people who did not express his position were also his cronies.
At this time, seeing Liu Hongqi's statement, those people also followed and said: "The last general is willing to listen to the orders of the adults!"
"Good!"
Only then did a smile appear on Ge Lijun's face, "It's not in vain that this mansion has taken care of you all these years." ”
The master flattered him at the right time and said, "My lord, what are we going to do next?"
Ge Lijun said: "The fall of the Song Dynasty is imminent, so we naturally take this opportunity to take down the Song Emperor and send it to the Yuan Dynasty Emperor to invite merit." ”
He did go to see Zhang Hongfan, and just as Zhao Dongting thought, he was afraid that Zhang Hongfan would use him as cannon fodder, so he did not immediately express his stance to surrender. Now, the Yuan army was defeated and the Song army was wounded, and he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he hurriedly beckoned the military generals of the lower ministers to come to the Zhizhou Mansion.
As long as he wins the Song Emperor, then he will join the Yuan Dynasty as a meritorious minister, and then he will be on the rise, just around the corner.
Thinking of the place of pride, Rao Yige left the king's city, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little pride.
The master hurriedly bent down beside him, "My lord Shengming." ”
He has no other skills, but he is a good hand at observing words and feelings.
Qi Shucai said: "My lord, then I will go back now to gather soldiers and horses and prepare to attack the island." ”
In fact, these words he said were instructed by Ge Lijun, in modern terms, it was a childcare. In order to completely subdue his generals, Ge Lijun took great pains.
Glancing at his brother-in-law with a slightly admiring look, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay, then the generals will go back here to prepare the military horses, and five days later, the warships will gather at the Xiliu Ferry, and the generals will lead the army to the Xiliu Ferry before the time and send the troops to Zhouzhou Island." ”
"Yes!"
A group of civil and military generals received orders and retreated one after another.
When there was no one in the hall, the master bowed slightly and said, "My lord, Master Li Heng Li is already waiting in the study." ”
Ge Lijun was slightly surprised, "Didn't Zhang Hongfan come in person?"
He has always been arrogant, and he didn't look too much at Zhang Hongfan, the general of the defeated army, and called him by his name.
Master said: "Lord Zhang excused himself that he needed to rectify military affairs when he was defeated, so he politely refused your invitation. ”
"Humph!"
Ge Lijun snorted softly: "The general of the defeated army is still on such a high shelf, when I take down Emperor Song, I will definitely humiliate him in front of Emperor Yuan." ”
The master smiled lightly and did not speak.
"That's it!"
Ge Lijun said to himself: "Li Heng is the deputy marshal, since he is here, then the official will go to see him." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked to the study. The master was busy following behind.
Ge Lijun took two steps, but said again: "You go and send two people to keep an eye on Liu Hongqi to prevent him from changing." ”
He knew that Liu Hongqi had always been loyal and righteous, and he regarded himself as a Song general, although he had just expressed his obedience in the hall, he still had some doubts in his heart.
The master didn't ask much, and left quickly.
Ge Lijun went to the study alone.
When he walked to the study, the bloated Li Heng was drinking tea, and two maids were waiting next to him.
"Li Shuai!"
As soon as he stepped into the study, Ge Lijun had a smile on his face and shouted.
Although he was arrogant, he also knew that it was not appropriate to put on too high a posture in front of Li Heng at this time. Although they were defeated, they were still important ministers of the Yuan Dynasty.
Li Heng also pretended to arch his hand, "Lord Ge!"
In fact, how can he afford to leave the king in his heart?
If it weren't for the 50,000 yuan army being wiped out on the island, he and Zhang Hongfan would have no army available at this time, and he would not have bothered to come to see Ge Lijun's Wupin Zhizhou. Although Geli Junguo's face is very majestic, he is still a Zhizhou who can't be on the stage in the end, and Leizhou is just a lower state.
Ge Lijun sat on the throne and said, "I took the liberty to invite Li Shuai, and I ask Li Shuai to forgive me......"
Li Heng smiled lightly, "Then I don't know what Lord Ge invited me to, what is the so-called?"
The two can be said to have their own ghosts.
Ge Lijun said: "I heard that your army was defeated in Zhouzhou, and this official deeply regretted it, and invited Li Shuai to come because he wanted to discuss with Li Shuai about attacking Zhoudao again." ”
"Oh?"
Li Heng raised his eyelids slightly, and deliberately pretended to be puzzled: "Isn't Lord Ge unwilling to join our court?
Ge Lijun smiled and picked up the teacup, "Li Shuai don't pretend to be confused, this official invited Li Shuai to come, just to ask Li Shuai to say a few more kind words for me in front of the emperor after the matter is completed." ”
Li Heng said: "As soon as I am a defeated general, what kind of words can I talk about, and when the time comes, I will have to bother Lord Ge to intercede for me and Zhang Shuai......
Ge Lijun smiled and said nothing.
The two were silent for a long time before he said again: "This official still has something to ask Li Shuai." ”
Li Heng said: "Lord Ge, please speak." ”
Ge Lijun's eyes were really puzzled at this time, "You and Zhang Shuai attacked the island with 50,000 people, and the Song army was only 20,000, how could they be defeated?"
The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and when he talked about it, he only felt a heart-piercing pain.
Ge Lijun looked at his expression, and secretly sneered in his heart, but his mouth was continuous: "This official's question is abrupt, Li Shuai should not be surprised." ”
Li Heng knew that if he wanted to take revenge in a short period of time, he could only rely on Ge Lijun, so he forcibly suppressed the grievances and anger in his heart, and said: "Ben Shuai is not surprised, it's just a question from Lord Ge, and Ben Shuai really can't answer it." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of your jokes, our army's 50,000 troops and horses have attacked the island, and the Song army fled in despair, but when they arrived at the hinterland of Zhouzhou Island, they saw that the island was dusty, and the sound was overwhelming. ”
Ge Lijun couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, "This ......"
Li Heng sighed, and said: "When we see our soldiers again, there are only about 10,000 people left, and they have all abandoned their weapons and surrendered......"
He really wasn't telling a lie, until this time, he and Zhang Hongfan didn't know what kind of means Song Jun used.
Zhao Dongting kept the matter of landmines very tightly in check, and did not leak them out at all.
At that moment, Ge Lijun and Li Heng were silent again.
Ge Lijun frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think in his heart, how did the Song army defeat the Yuan army?
Suddenly, something popped into his mind, that is, he saw Zhao Dongting in Haikang County that day. But he sent someone to check afterwards, and Zhao Dongting only customized 30,000 porcelain jars in the porcelain workshop that day.
He immediately thought to himself, could it be ...... What does it have to do with those porcelain jars?
But what can the porcelain jar do?
