On April 25, it was already summer, and it was getting hotter. Wang Jingwu wore a robe lacking in the crotch, dressed in the army, and carried a horizontal knife at his waist at any time. At this time, he sat on the chair, holding the knife with both hands on the ground, but a deep Sichuan character wrinkled between his eyebrows. Originally, his wife had just given birth to a son-in-law for him, which was a very happy thing for him. But who knew that at this time, Li Jing, who was far away in Dengzhou, actually became the climate, and he was stupid to transfer him to Ziqi to suppress bandits. It is conceivable that when Song Wei and Cui Yunqing, the two old thieves, heard their proposal, although they pretended to be embarrassed on the surface, they must have laughed in their hearts, and they didn't know how to scold him for being stupid.
Six thousand elite soldiers, with nearly half a cavalry, how could I not have thought of it at that time.
In terms of combat effectiveness, although it cannot be compared with the combat effectiveness when it was the strongest domain in the world, it can at least be compared with the 8,000 tooth soldiers in Weibo Town, one of the three famous towns in Hebei. What's more, in addition to the Qingzhou Yabing, several military towns in Ziqi and Erzhou have always been the only ones who follow his orders. It is precisely because of this strong army that he can erect one marshal after another, but if Song Wei's old thing has Li Jing's six thousand elites, things will be a little bad.
Did things really get to the point where the fish died and the net was broken?
Wang Jingwu still hesitated, although the Wang family had been in control of the Qingzhou Tooth Army for several generations. He has also successfully overtaken several festival commanders. But let's be honest. Want to just replace it. He has long wanted to be a festival marshal, but he has never dared to do it. Wang Jingwu is five big and three coarse, but he is not a reckless man, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat several marshals. He is very cautious and cautious, especially now that Song Wei, the marshal of the festival, has a lot of background, and he has the support of Prime Minister Lu Xian in the DPRK and the Cui family. also got the support of the Yu family, but the Yu family has a prime minister in the court. In fact, Song Wei has two prime ministers as backers in the court, not to mention that Zhang Wanrong, the military supervisor, is also on Song Wei's side.
Wang Jingwu was very jealous of Song Wei, and he didn't want to develop to the point of doing it, all he wanted was to pressure him with power and let Song Wei take the initiative to leave after three years of work. But this Song Wei is not easy to deal with, and now it is clear that he can't get along with himself.
Not long after, Jin Wuwei rode Cao Shen military Li Zhen was invited by Liu Xun into the study. Wang Jingwu personally served wine and hospitality. I told you about the situation in Qingzhou today. Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Song Wei's move is aimed at Tur. The knives were already on the general's neck. If the general still hesitates, then there will be no place to die. ”
Wang Jingwu said: "Then Song Wei really dares to do it?" My Qingzhou Tooth Army plus my children also has more than 10,000 people, is he so sure? ”
"Song Wei was born in a big family of scholars, and he has been a general in the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and later he was the commander of the Luxing camp to destroy Pang Xun, and he defeated the Nanzhao people in the southwest. Such characters are naturally very high-spirited. came to Qingzhou, but he still had to be restrained by the general, how could he be willing? If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have done it sooner. Now that he has Li Jing as a support soldier, why hesitate. The general has a lot of scruples about Song Wei now, but Song Wei doesn't have any scruples about the general. If the general is still hesitating, then it's a pity that the general is a hero, not only can he not protect himself, but even your newborn son-in-law is afraid that under the nest, there will be no eggs? ”
Wang Jingwu was furious and screamed.
Li Zhen hurriedly said: "If you say more, the general will be angry." ”
Wang Jingwu's face was pale, and his eyes narrowed: "He is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" ”
Li Zhendao: "The general should make a decision quickly!" ”
"The eldest husband lived in heaven and earth, how could he be depressed and live under the people for a long time!"
"With the talent of a general, it is true that Song Wei can not limit it. The general's family has controlled the Qingzhou Tooth Army for generations, and has the help of many families in Qingzhou, as long as you make up your mind, things can be done. Wang Jingwu said: "I want to kill this old thief, but his background is not small, and there is a lot of support in the court, so I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future." ”
Li Zhen smiled and said: "The general is in Qingzhou, although Song Wei has to rely on the court. But as long as you can get rid of Song Wei first, and ask for a performance afterwards, it will be a fact, what can the DPRK and China, with the current situation in the DPRK and China, it is very unlikely that they will send troops to attack the general for Song Wei. ”
Wang Jingwu asked Li Zhen: "The general is the general of the forbidden army, and Song Wei was also a general of the forbidden army before, why does the general want to help me?" ”
Li Zhen smiled slightly: "When I was young, I was studying and participating in the imperial examination, but I was tired and couldn't get into the jinshi, so I joined the forbidden army. At the beginning, he was under the command of Song Wei, and this person had some ability to govern the army, but he always had the arrogance of being born in a family. I told him that I would be paralyzed in the army, but instead of accepting it, he beat me with 20 sticks, saying that I had committed the following crimes. Later, I transferred to Jinwuwei, but I never forgot the insult of that day. Now that I have the opportunity to help the general and avenge the old ones, why not. ”
"I see, please teach me how to deal with the current situation?"
Li Zhen smiled slightly: "Actually, things are not difficult, the key is whether the general is willing to break through the line drawn in your original heart." As long as you are willing to break through, then dealing with Song Wei is just a trivial matter. ”
"Now that I have nothing to fear, Brother Li will help me!"
"At the moment, there is only one way to solve the crisis, to strike first, and then to strike at others. What we have to do is to strike first before Song Wei makes a move, and make a first move. The general just happened to be happy to give birth to Linzi, we can set up a banquet in the mansion tomorrow night and invite Song Wei to come and participate. Then lay a knife and axe hand in the house, and when the banquet was halfway through, he suddenly attacked, and Song Wei could be killed on the spot at that time, as long as Song Wei died, the matter would be solved. ”
Wang Jingwu hesitated: "If you can, I think it's better not to kill Song Wei and capture him alive?" In his heart, he was still very afraid of these people standing behind Song Wei. To put it bluntly, although the Wang family controls Qingzhou, it is only a small local army leader, and it is really incomparable with Song Wei, a big clan in Guanzhong, and a foreign strong dragon who has a complex relationship between the forbidden army and the court. Although Li Zhen said that he killed Song Wei, it was unlikely that the imperial court would send troops to suppress it. But he didn't dare to gamble on such a thing, he wanted to take the position of the marshal of Ziqing Town, but he didn't dare to do too much, so as not to attract the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court. It's better to capture Song Wei alive, collect his soldiers and horses, and then drive him away, so that people can stay on the line, and they will always meet in the future.
Li Zhen saw that Wang Jingwu wanted benefits but also didn't want to get into trouble, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. If you do great things, you can always spare yourself. Scruples about this, scruples about that, and things will be difficult to achieve in the end. He groaned and said, "Since the general doesn't want to hurt Song Wei's life, this is also a cautious idea. Then if you don't kill Song Wei, you have to beware of Li Jing being the most embarrassed and then killing him. After all, if Song Wei doesn't die, the matter will not end for a while. ”
"Yes, why did this Li Jing suddenly rise up, but what can be done to make him retreat?"
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "I have a plan, I can immediately send someone to wait for Li Jing halfway, so I pretend that I don't know that Li Jing is coming to Qingzhou, just think that he went to Ziqi to suppress the bandits, and the general sent someone to comfort the labor army." Send more wine, meat, cattle and sheep, and it is best to be able to drag Li Jing for a day and a half. On the other hand, the military towns that obeyed the general in the two states of Ziqi could be urgently dispatched and quickly rushed to prepare to intercept Li Jing. ”
"Qingzhou's side will proceed according to the original plan, secretly explain the matter to the generals below today, and then set up a banquet tomorrow night to entertain Song Wei and capture him in one fell swoop. As soon as Song Wei is caught, the prepared tooth soldiers will be dispatched immediately to quickly control Song Wei's pro-soldier battalion, unity barracks and pro-guard battalion of the Military Supervision Academy. In this way, Qingzhou can be determined, and then send someone to see Li Jing and explain the situation, as long as Li Jing is willing to withdraw from the army, the general can heartily promise Li Jing to Song Wei to ask Song Wei for the position of Dengzhou Assassin History, and the military number of the Zhendong Army, and the position of the military envoy. If he refuses to retreat, we will already have Qingzhou at that time, as long as the door is closed, Li Jing will not be able to come from afar, and he can only retreat at the very least. As long as this pass is passed, if Li Jing still refuses to obey, then the general can calmly mobilize all troops and horses to slowly advance and suppress. ”
Wang Jingwu clapped his hands and said: "It's really a clever strategy, and the name of the general's wisdom is really worthy of its reputation." After this is accomplished, I am willing to worship the general for my capital! It's just that I don't know who to send to Li Jing's army? ”
Li Zhendao: "If the general trusts, he is willing to take this trip!" ”
Wang Jingwu smiled: "How dare you work as a general!" ”
"It doesn't matter, I just need to pretend to be a small official under the command of the general, and no one in Li Jing's army will be recognized."
Wang Jingwu thought about it, Li Zhen is more wise, if he personally goes out to drag Li Jing, with his ability, there must be no problem. At the moment, he was no longer polite: "It's okay for the general to go, but you might as well take this guard of mine with you, don't look at him fifteen years old, but he can be civilized and martial, and he is very smart." With him by the general's side, I don't think I'll have to worry about it. After speaking, he turned his head to Liu Xun and said, "Although you are young, you are outstanding in resourcefulness." I sent you to protect General Lee. You took a hundred men and horses from Pontus to wait for Li Jing on the road, brought more wine and meat, pretending to be a labor army, but in fact helped me drag Li Jing one or two. ”
"The last general commands!" Liu Xun obeyed.
Immediately, Wang Jingwu secretly summoned the generals of the Qingzhou soldiers in batches and told them to prepare. On the other hand, he sent several groups of envoys with his letters to Zhang Chan, the assassin of Zizhou, and Lu Hong, the assassin of Qizhou. Both of them were Wang Jingwu's in-laws and allies, and they wrote to them to gather the soldiers and horses they could use, and go to Qingzhou in the starry night, preparing to ambush Li Jing halfway.
On the other hand, he sent the housekeeper to post it in the palace of the marshal, only saying that Wang Jingwu was happy to have a son-in-law, and he would hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow night, and invite the marshal to the banquet. The rest of the civil and military generals in Qingzhou City, as well as the scholars and clans, Wang Jingwu all made people post one after another, ready to catch them all at that time!
