Chapter 610: Trapping Xingyang
"Prime Minister." Zhang Zhenzhou's voice came from outside the big tent.
"Come in!" Li Xin knew that it must be the news of Wei Lu and others, so he threw the piece in his hand aside and beckoned Zhang Zhenzhou to come in.
"Prime Minister, Wei Lu sent a letter from someone, saying that he was going to fight with the Prime Minister." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Zhenzhou's mouth, and he said: "However, it is not himself who is fighting, but the deputy general Zheng Xianhuai." ”
"What kind of character is this Zheng Xianhuai? Worthy of Wei Lu's attention? Li Xin asked with some surprise.
"It's just a descendant of the Zheng family, when Wei Lu was in Xingyang, the Zheng family sent someone to come to the door and gave a way, let Zheng Xianhuai be the deputy general, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses under him." Zhang Zhenzhou said disdainfully.
"Borrowed the hand of the lonely king and killed Zheng Xianhuai?" Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, and said with a dumb smile: "I really never thought that one day, I would be used as a knife in my hand by others." ”
Zhang Zhenzhou's face changed when he heard this, although this sentence is nothing, but the world is so big, where in the world does anyone dare to use Li Xin as a knife, he secretly blamed Wei Lu in his heart for not knowing whether he is alive or dead, but he still explained: "I think it is because of the Zheng family, Wei Lu seems to be the general of Xingyang, but Xingyang is still Zheng's, I am afraid that there is no way for him to do this." ”
"You don't need to explain to him, what kind of person he is, Lone naturally knows." Li Xin waved his hand, looked at Zhang Zhenzhou and said: "It's not that Wei Lu is bold, but that the Zheng family looks down on me Li Xin too much, thinking that I, Li Xin, am just a side door concubine and has no ability, so I have this trick." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhenzhou looked at Li Xin hesitantly.
"First, he wants Wei Lu to break with Li Xin and will not believe in Wei Lu anymore; Second, let that Zheng Xianhuai attack me Li Xin, is it really attacking us? How many people, thousands, are there? Or tens of thousands? Can you resist our army of fifty or sixty thousand? I'm afraid we're fighting. There's another person next to you, ready to attack us at any time! ”
"The prime minister said it was Li Shimin?" Zhang Zhenzhou suddenly came to his senses, and only with Li Shimin's cooperation on the side, the Zheng family would come up with this method, but unfortunately, Li Xin knew it clearly.
"Since he wants to fight, let's fight!" Li Xin said indifferently: "I haven't seen Li Shimin for a long time, I don't know how Li Shimin is now, but he still knows me as an old friend." Li Xin looked at the letter in his hand, shook his head and said.
"How can Li Shimin be compared with the prime minister?" Zhang Zhenzhou said disdainfully.
"Don't underestimate Li Shimin. This man will be our great enemy. Li Xin shook his head and said: "Fortunately, this person is not the crown prince or the emperor, otherwise, all the potential of Li Zhao may be stimulated by him, and we are still a little worse than the background of the family." ”
"The subordinates have contacted Guo Qing and Wang Yaohan, and they are ready to kill Wang Shichong's cronies in the near future, change their banners, and become the prime minister's subordinates." Zhang Zhenzhou hurriedly said.
"Good. These two generals can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and they appreciate it very much. After meeting, Lone wants to reward them personally. Li Xin is very happy, and Guanzhou will be forgotten. However, Bianzhou is an important place, the transit station of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is in Bianzhou, which is the political, economic and cultural center after the Tang Dynasty in history. Convenient transportation. I believe that in the hands of Li Xin in the future, it will also be an extremely important place.
"Prime Minister, the battle of tomorrow?" Zhang Zhenzhou asked hesitantly: "Is it waiting for the two generals to lead the army here?" Think about it again. In his opinion, Li Shimin is eyeing the side, and if Li Xin wants to defeat Li Shimin, it is best to wait for Guo Qing and the two leaders to come, and then attack Xingyang, and he will definitely be able to win.
"Let Wei Chigong go, lead the army with 10,000, destroy this Zheng Xianhuai first, and let an ant let Lone shoot?" Li Xin said indifferently: "Send a message to Wei Lu, don't give any kind of characters to Gu to deal with in the future, as long as Gu Xingyang, these Gu will kill Zheng Xianhuai for him, and Xingyang will be dedicated to Gu!" Li Xin said very calmly.
"Yes." Zhang Zhenzhou hurriedly said.
Xingyang Zheng family, Zheng Shanguo, Zheng Yan two father and son gathered together, in the study, the green smoke is misty, although ambergris is a tribute, but there are still a lot of them in a big family like the Zheng family.
"Father, Wei Lu has already agreed, let Xianhuai lead 6,000 people to fight Li Xin tomorrow." Zheng Yan said in a low voice.
"He will definitely agree, with Li Xin's hand to eliminate our Zheng family's people in one fell swoop, tsk, the courage is really big, such a person is really stupid, he actually let Li Xin make a move, who does he think he is? Even if he surrendered to Li Xin, he let his master take action, isn't he looking for death? Zheng Shanguo said disdainfully.
"Now that I have seen it clearly, Wei Lu is probably already obedient to Li Xin. Father, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer, we have to do it now. Zheng Yan said with some worry: "The child has received the news that Guo Qing and Wang Yaohan of Guanzhou and Bianzhou are ready to submit to Li Xin." Once the news of the two of them comes, the whole Henan will be shaken, even if Li Shimin gets Xingyang, it will be useless to the general trend! ”
"What are you worried about, no matter who gets Xingyang, we will be courteous to the Zheng family." Zheng Shanguo glanced at his son dissatisfied, and said: "Remember, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Xin, they are not all the way with us, do you know why the people of the Cui family support Li Jiancheng?" It's not just because of the patriarchal system, but more importantly, Li Jiancheng can tolerate our Zheng family. Recently, I have seen that Li Shimin, like Li Xin, is a person who can't tolerate the family. ”
"Yes." Zheng Yan nodded, he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, since he knew Li Shimin's situation, why did he marry his daughter to Li Shimin in the first place? It's just that these words were not spoken, and the daughters of the big families are mostly used for marriage, as long as the family needs it, no matter who they marry, they can only admit it.
"Hehe, Li Xin is a young man in the end, although he has achieved a high position, it is just some chance. Where is there any real ability, if our family made a move, where is there anything about Li Xin, let him have a good look at it this time, what is the heritage of the family, little Li Xin, it is still not enough to see. Xianhuai's family also has to settle down, if there is any accident, the family will also have to compensate some, after all, it was for the Zheng family to die, we can't do it. Zheng Shanguo said disdainfully, and a fine light burst out from his cloudy eyes.
"Yes, father, that's what the child is saying." Zheng Yan hurriedly said.
"Li Xin's subordinates are mostly fierce generals, don't think that you have a little martial arts and charge ahead, although Li Xin will not make a move, but his subordinates will definitely shoot, Wei Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin, which is not a powerful character. Even Guo Xiaoke and Zhang Zhenzhou are not simple. Fighting with them, it is certain death, you can only fight the number of people, so it is still possible to delay the moment, and maybe there is a glimmer of life. Zheng Shanguo admonished.
"Yes." Zheng Yan hurriedly retreated and ordered not to mention it.
The next day, the gate of Xingyang City opened, and a man rushed out, led by a middle-aged general, it was Zheng Xianhuai, his face was gloomy, and there was a trace of horror in the depths of his eyes, he looked up at the city wall, his face was hideous, and finally he came out of the horse, and the army of thousands of people stood under the city, waiting for Li Xin's army to attack.
After half a ring, the drums in Li Xin's camp sounded, and he saw Wei Chi Gong rushing out with a long lance in his hand, with a double whip on his back, majestic, but behind him were 10,000 elites, roaring out of the camp.
"Kill it." Zheng Xianhuai looked at the roaring soldiers and horses, and did not speak, so he ordered his soldiers to rush forward, he recognized that person was Wei Chigong, a rare military general in Li Xin's army, and more importantly, today is not a hero in the martial arts competition, he firmly remembered Zheng Yan's instructions, that is, to delay as much time as possible to save his life.
"Huh! I want to fight! Wei Chigong originally thought that he could give himself a fighting general to show his martial arts and prestige, but he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't give him this opportunity at all, and he didn't want to think about it, so he led the army to press up, which was different from before. However, Wei Chigong is not worried about anything, the Guanzhong army, the elite of the world, can be in the field, compared with it, there doesn't seem to be much, not to mention that the number of his army is far above the other party, it is easy to destroy, he told Zheng Xianhuai to death, he swore to kill this person first.
The two armies soon collided together, shouting and killing, but Zheng Xianhuai was riding on a horse, staring at Yu Chi Gong deadly, anyway, where Yu Chi Gong was, he hid, although Wei Chi Gong was brave, but when he encountered the current situation, he could only helplessly watch Zheng Xianhuai walk around in the army, and he could only be very depressed and kill other soldiers.
The front had been pressed towards the city gate, and in less than half an hour, the front was not much way from the city wall. At this time, if it is supplemented with sharp arrows, it will definitely be able to hurt more Guanzhong soldiers. If an army joins in from the rear, the two sides will still fall into a fight, but unfortunately Wei Lu on the city wall didn't seem to have found it, still standing there quietly, looking at everything under the city, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, these people under the city are Zheng Xianhuai's people, following Zheng Xianhuai's side, they have long been bought by the Zheng family. Since Wei Lu is going to be under Li Xin's command, this Zheng Xianhuai must be eliminated.
"Hehe, when you kill these people, then you will open the city gate, let the prime minister enter the city, and even ask for orders to eliminate the Zheng clan in one fell swoop, uproot the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and see who else dares to be arrogant in front of me in the future." Wei Lu thought proudly.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the north gate, and then the shouting of killing shook the sky, Wei Lu's face changed, he pulled out the sword on his waist violently, beckoned his subordinates and said, "Let's go, go to the north gate to have a look, and see what happened."
