Chapter 338: Xingyang Rebellion (3)
"Duan Da, Li Mi will attack Xingyang at any time, at this time, you don't want to deal with Li Mi, but come to deal with me, is it interesting?" There is no regret in Li Xinzhong, and the Great Sui Dynasty really has no hope.
"Want to deal with Li Mi? It is also possible to ask the governor to stay in Luoyang, and send a military order to the northwest to let the northwest army enter Luoyang. Duan Da's voice was cold, and he sneered: "As long as the Northwest Fengyue King is the master, the Metropolitan Governor will naturally have a chance to deal with Li Mi." ”
"Do you think it is possible to recognize the king of Yue as the master? His Majesty the Emperor was still in Yangzhou, and the Northwest Army was under the orders of His Majesty. Duan Da, you're thinking too much. Li Xin's voice was flat, and he turned to everyone and said, "Let's go, let's go back, I want to see how Duan Da and Liu Changgong deal with Li Mi." ”
"Metropolitan Governor, please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to temporarily live in the school grounds, the Metropolitan Governor can rest assured, all military food and grass, we will supply it on time." Duan Da said gloomily.
"No need. The Western Army has money, so let's buy these grains and grass ourselves! Li Xin's calm voice came again, Li Xin didn't dare to eat the enemy's things, Duan Da would take his life at any time, and if he ate his things, wouldn't he just look for death? Li Xin naturally didn't trust these guys, but decided to send someone to buy grain and grass for a good deal.
"The last general is derelict in his duties, please punish most of the governors." In the big tent of the school field, Shen Qianqiu knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and said loudly, this time his sin was great, and he didn't find out that Duan Da had come to the Xingyang army.
"Governor Dadu, the last general thinks that this time General Shen is no wonder." None of the generals next to him spoke, but Qin Qiong stepped forward and said, "If the last general is not wrong just now, there is still one person on the city tower, it is Zheng Shanguo." It is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang. ”
"I see." Li Xin nodded, Duan Dan was able to rush to Xingyang so quickly and not be discovered by Jinyiwei, I am afraid it is the credit of the Zheng family in Xingyang, as one of the five surnames and seven hopes. The Zheng family in Xingyang has a deep heritage, which is not comparable to Li Xin, let alone Jinyiwei.
"Although there is a reason for the incident, since it is wrong, it cannot be punished, and it is temporarily demoted to the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard. Are you convinced? Li Xin looked at Shen Qianqiu on the ground and said. This time Shen Qianqiu can commit the crime of dereliction of duty, the victim Li Xin is still trapped in Xingyang City, if Duan Da comes to attack at this time, Li Xin will definitely not be able to resist.
"Governor Xie." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly thanked him, it was already a very good thing to be able to save his life. Shen Qianqiu stepped aside. He nodded towards Qin Qiong to express his gratitude.
"Governor, what are we going to do now?" Luo Shixin said: "If we don't find an opportunity to enter the government and kill Duan Da and the others first, Xingyang City will definitely be in chaos, and when that time comes, it will be easy for us to rush out." ”
"No, the crime of attacking Xingyang can't be borne by us, let's hand it over to the people of Wagangzhai! I'm sure they'll be attacking Xingyang soon. Attack Luokou, hehe, Duan Da, I'll see if you have the ability to defeat Li Mi by then! Li Xin shook his head and said, "Qianqiu." Immediately find out what happened to Pei Yuanqing's father and son, he is a member of Pei Shiju's clan, we can't implicate them because of our relationship, we must ensure their safety. ”
"Don't worry. Although our brigade cannot enter or leave the city gate, they still can't stop the Jinyi guards from delivering the news. Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.
"Well, tell the brothers. Prepare day and night, once there is a change in Xingyang, take advantage of the chaos to kill immediately. Li Xin's expression was cold, his voice was full of murderous intent, Qin Qiong sighed in his heart, he could hear it, Li Xin was afraid that he had completely abandoned the eastern capital Luoyang, but what should he do? Will he continue to be loyal to the imperial court, or will he follow Li Xin to the northwest? Qin Qiong was instantly confused.
The tiger prison was closed, Pei Yuanqing's face was gloomy, and he stepped into Pei Renji's study with one foot, and what caught his eyes was Pei Renji's tightly knit brows, and he immediately knew that his father was also extremely angry at the moment. The military power of the 20,000 army was easily seized by Duan Da and Liu Rengong, the reason why the Pei family is the Pei family is not only because of Pei Shiju's position in the court, Pei Renji, as a side doorman, can be in charge of 20,000 or 30,000 troops, which is not only the influence of the Pei family, but also Pei Renji's own efforts. Now that the military power in his hands has been seized, Pei Renji naturally does not allow it.
"Father." Pei Yuanqing finally calmed down and said seriously: "Father, I want to go to the northwest and join the command of the Governor of Dadu, please allow my father." ”
"You want to go to the Northwest?" Pei Renji's eyes lit up, he looked at Pei Yuanqing carefully, and sighed: "You must know that Li Xin is still in Xingyang now, Duan Da has gone to Xingyang in person, and there are only a thousand people around him, although they are elite, they are definitely not Duan Da's opponents." Do you think he'll be able to come out? ”
"Absolutely." Pei Yuanqing said disdainfully: "What are Duan Da and Liu Rengong, they don't know Xingyang at all, Xingyang is actually already a pit, Li Mi's thieves have long regarded Xingyang as a bag, most of the governors want to leave Xingyang and return to the northwest, now that Duan Da is gone, tens of thousands of troops will fall into Li Mi's hands, and Duan Da's tens of thousands of troops have been given to Li Mi." The Metropolitan Governor is extremely brave, although there are many people on the other side, it is still very easy to leave Xingyang in the midst of the chaos. ”
"Xingyang is going to be breached?" Pei Renji was stunned by what Pei Yuanqing said, Xingyang City is high and deep, and one of the bases of the Kanto family is in Xingyang, Xingyang can be said to be one of the fortified cities in Kanto, and now his son told him that Xingyang was going to be breached, and he was naturally a little shocked in his heart.
"General Zhang Xutuo said that he was killed on the battlefield, but it is better to say that he was killed by the Zheng family and killed by the Kwantung family." Pei Yuanqing said viciously: "The child heard General Qin Qiong say that after General Zhang arrived in Xingyang, except for some grain and grass given by the imperial court, he didn't get any grain and grass in Xingyang, and even the imperial court didn't have much grain and grass. General Zhang originally wanted to defend the city, but the food and grass in the city were insufficient, and there was collusion between inside and outside, forcing General Zhang to lead the army to attack, and General Zhang was brave and strong, so he was ambushed and killed by Li Mi. ”
Pei Yuanqing did not say that Zhang Xutuo was brave and unscrupulous, but explained that the main reason for Zhang Xutuo's death in battle was not only because of his own problems, but also because of the problems of the family behind him.
"So whether it's Guanzhong or Kanto, these families can't tolerate the continued existence of the Great Sui, one forced away His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is colluding with the people in Wagangzhai." Pei Renji's face was tired, and he was already a little disappointed in the imperial court.
"This is a letter from your uncle." Pei Renji suddenly took out a letter from the drawer on the side, handed it to Pei Yuanqing, and said, "You are not young now, you can take a look." ”
Pei Yuanqing took the letter suspiciously, and then his face changed, this so-called uncle refers to Pei Shiju, and the content of the letter is also very simple, that is, let Pei Renji take his family to the northwest. It said that tomorrow will be chaotic, and the Pei family will find another way, and Li Xin is the way to go.
"Father, uncle, this is for our Pei family to go to the northwest!" Pei Yuanqing was surprised by Pei Shiju's decision, but the Pei family went to the northwest, can Li Xin accept it?
"Miss Pei Fu is about to marry Li Xin." Pei Renji finally said the problem and said: "Among Li Xin's wives, the first is the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xin's intelligence organization is in charge of her, and the second is Li Xin's childhood sweetheart, her father is a military doctor, and there is some prestige in the army, and finally Li Zhiwan, she is in charge of Li Xin's business." Miss Pei Fu needs the power of our Pei family. ”
"What does Father mean?" Pei Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Do you think the current Great Sui Dynasty can still be saved?" Pei Renji said in a low voice: "Now that the order of the world has collapsed, I don't know how many people want to seize this world, the metropolitan governor sits in the Western Regions, with 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are not many enemies in the northwest, so to speak, he has occupied the northwest." If the emperor is still in Luoyang or Daxing, everyone will not dare to move, but now it is different, these people are already ready to move, the governor of the capital has an army of 100,000, and there are countless ministers and generals under his command, do you think he will be a good courtier? What kind of character is the head of the family, Pei Fu is beautiful and fragrant, even if Li Xin is a national prince, he can't let the young lady of the Pei family be a concubine, only Li Xin's status takes a step forward, these problems will not be a problem. ”
"Father, do you mean the Grand Duke?" Pei Yuanqing exclaimed. In the government and the opposition, Li Xin's reputation is not very good, but in Pei Yuanqing's opinion, Li Xin is still very loyal to the court, but now that his own Lao Tzu says this, Pei Yuanqing doesn't know what to say.
"The throne is just that, everyone wants it, and the same is true for General Li Xin." Pei Renji said in a low voice: "If it was before, I might hesitate, after all, I, Pei Renji, am not only a member of the Pei family, but also a courtier of the Great Sui, but now it seems that the Great Sui Dynasty really can't assist, Li Xin did not rebel, but also defeated Li Mi and kept Xingyang, His Royal Highness King Yue thought that he couldn't wait to kill him." Hehe, what else do I Pei Renji do with him in such a court? It's better to go to the northwest, the power of my Pei family is not bad in the Guanlong family, if you can assist Li Xin and achieve hegemony, you may not be able to become a family like Dugu and Yuwen. ”
"Yes, father, we'll go to the northwest." Pei Yuanqing also nodded, extremely excited in his heart, compared to in the Central Plains, Pei Yuanqing Northwest is more suitable for himself, what is important there is not qualifications, nor is it a family, as long as you have the ability, you can achieve great things, such as Li Jing, Su Dingfang and others are not all famous all over the Central Plains now? It is because Li Xin can give everyone a chance, unlike in the Central Plains, which pays attention to the power of the family. (To be continued......)
