Chapter Ninety-Six: Suspicious Tactics

The two eunuchs of the palace and Dao were furious, and the prefect of Lingzhou, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo and others were all blind, looking at the hideous appearance of these two eunuchs, it should be Wang Ba who eats the scales - he is iron-hearted.

The eight soldiers and horses all went out to rectify the people and horses, and one by one they were in high spirits - Zengtou City, which has more than 10,000 households, if the severed heads are pretended to be Liangshan thieves and Huyan rebels, the reward will be great.

had no choice but to do so, and the prefect of Lingzhou, Shan Tingjue, and Wei Dingguo also resigned. The prefect is dying of hardship, he is not very bold in corrupting the law, and other officials are all profitless, but he honestly invested his family wealth in the horse farm in Zengtou City to eat huge profits, and today he sees that he is going to lose all his money, how can he not be in a hurry? Wandering, he just pulled the two regimental training envoys and said, "Two generals, what should I do now?" How is it good? ”

Shan Tingqi comforted: "Adults go back, the young general naturally has the idea of improvisation here, and he can keep Zengtou City fine." ”

The prefect grabbed a life-saving straw like a man in the water, opened his eyes wide and said, "Really? Really? "Now that it's a critical moment, even if Shan Tingjun is telling a lie, he has to force himself to believe it.

Shan Tingjun was full of tickets: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is on me!" ”

The prefect told him a thousand times, and he went back step by step. Wei Dingguo, who had been watching coldly for a long time, said to Shan Tingjue: "Brother Shan, we brothers don't talk nonsense between each other - do you really have a clever plan to save Zengtou City?" ”

At this time, Shan Tingqi revealed his true face and said hatefully: "I have a bullshit plan!" How come the people who come down from the court are all such bastard bastards? Brother Wei, you and I train on weekdays, and we have to take care of Zengtou City, but today they are in great trouble, how can men sit idly by? But I'm going to take my men and horses to live and die with Zengtou City, what do you think? ”

Wei Dingguo rolled his eyelids: "Oh? Single brother, this is a rebellion! ”

Shan Tingqi said in a cold voice: "What's the other way around? These days under the knees of the eunuchs, I have had enough of this dog! Even if you and I are loyal, how can we be military ministers in the future? General Xu Ning, General Zhang Qing, and General Suo Chao are our lessons from the past! ”

Wei Dingguo nodded and said, "Brother Shan's words are also reasonable!" ”

Shan Tingqi urged: "Brother Wei, are you going with me?" Or do you want to stay for the tiger? If the old and young people of Zengtou City are mobilized, will they be idle? No matter how many 100,000 more officers and soldiers are here, they are just inserting bids and selling their heads. We are all accustomed to leading soldiers, can't we even see this? ”

Wei Dingguo nodded and said, "The little brother naturally saw it early. However, although the old and young masters of Zengtou City are brave, they must be outnumbered and will suffer a lot of losses, and they will die before they grow up. Even if Zeng Tou City wins this battle and exploits its own vitality, it will outweigh the losses. ”

Shan Tingqi hurriedly said: "Do you still have the heart to worry about this?" Come on, will you come with me? ”

"I'm not going with Brother Shan!" Wei Dingguo is categorical. Looking at Shan Tingjue's suddenly gloomy face, he said again, "But-I won't let these eunuchs harm the elders of Zengtou City!" ”

Shan Tingqi was stunned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Dingguo looked around: "Brother Shan, please come with your ears ......"

When the two of them were biting their ears and whispering here, the eight soldiers and horses had already finished putting the men and horses in order, and they came back to the account to ask the two supervisors to take them to be promoted and rich. The Taoist eunuch coughed twice, and was about to say a few words of "grass thieves rebel, heavenly soldiers are eliminated" to boost the morale of the three armies, but suddenly Shan Tingqi Wei Dingguo hurriedly came, and shouted from afar: "Two adults, the matter is urgent!" The sentinels of the Huyan rebels, already? It's time for us to go down to Lingzhou City! ”

As soon as they heard this, the two eunuchs of the palace and Dao suddenly turned pale. Just as he was about to inquire in detail, several rangers returned with their armor gone. As soon as he entered the gate, he fell off his horse and threw himself into the dust, shouting in a hissing voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good! The Hu family will call! ”

The manuscript of the eunuch's speech choked in his throat and almost suffocated him. At this time, he finally loosened a little, and said in a sharp voice: "What are you going to say?" ”

These rangers were light cavalry scouts in the direction of Zengtou City, and at this time they said in a panic: "My lord, we were halfway to the sentry, and suddenly a group of cavalry came, surrounding the brothers and killing them without saying anything, and our twenty or thirty brothers were all beheaded, and only a few of us rushed out of the way and came back with our lives-those people called themselves Yanbing Pioneer Scout Ma, and the Hujia general was ready to go out of Qingzhou and go to Liangshan to meet Ximenqing!" The first stop is naturally to come to Lingzhou to fight us! ”

The two eunuchs of Gong and Dao jumped up agilely, and when they glanced at each other, they had already had the same mind. The palace eunuch said: "The imperial court urgently reported that a few days ago, Liangshan sent a group of men and horses, headed by Dadao Guan Sheng. General Guan is a great talent, captured two famous thieves, and opened up the food road of our army, how can he not repay such a generous kindness? Today's matter is urgent, so I will go to Guan Shengjun with my fellow brothers and remind him to take precautions early, and he will not be attacked by Liangshan Ximenqing and Hu Jiajun! ”

The eunuch immediately responded to the call and ordered his subordinates to follow: "Hurry up and pack some suitcases and cages, and the forbidden soldiers and horses will escort our family on the road!" "At this time, the most reliable thing is the forbidden soldiers and horses who came out of Tokyo, and the Badu prisoners stayed here as cannon fodder to drag the Huyan soldiers to the best use.

Seeing that the two eunuchs were about to flee when they heard the news, the Badu Eunuch looked at each other. Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses, said: "The two prison lords, the words of these two scouts cannot be fully believed. Isn't Anzhi a suspicious plan for Zeng Tou City to hear the rumors of our army's uprising? If the adults go like this, they will eat the jokes of the little ones! ”

Now that the knife has been unsheathed and the bow has been wound, as long as the Zengtou City is broken, it will be a wealth that splashes the sky, and of course the Badu Eunuch is not willing to stop it. If the two superintendents leave, Lingzhou will naturally be the prefect of Lingzhou, and the Great Song Dynasty pays attention to controlling martial arts with literature.

The two eunuchs of the palace and Dao have already been killed by the Hu generals, no matter if you are true or not, how far they run. When he was racking his brains to think about what to say to cover up his shame, Wei Dingguo stood up and said: "Is it a suspicious military plan in Zengtou City, just let everyone send troops to investigate, naturally it will be clear!" ”

When the eight monitors heard this, they looked at each other for a while. In the next battle of Qingzhou City, the most severely beaten were the forbidden troops around the two eunuchs of Gong and Dao, and their men and horses were all stationed behind, and the losses were not large. But since seeing the horror of the Hu family's iron cavalry, the Badu Prison has been frightened, how dare he send troops to explore as Wei Dingguo said? If there is no return, the court is strict with the generals, there is no reward for merit, and small mistakes will be punished.

Chen Zhu, the supervisor of Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses, said: "Single group training, Wei group training, you are locals, and you are familiar with geography, why don't you go out and explore?" ”

Shan Tingqi excused himself: "Although Lingzhou City is not big, there are places everywhere that cannot be inspected. The two of us together are only a hundred people, and the city is still overstretched, where do we have the strength to go out of the city? If we go out, the thieves will come to the city in a big way, and we won't be able to explain it in front of the prefect! ”

The palace eunuch saw that this group of people were pushing in two ways, and he also rushed to say the ugly words in front first: "Our forbidden soldier Ma Qingzhou City has suffered heavy losses, and it is still difficult to protect me and the Dao brothers, and there is no courage left to patrol the horse." ”

Just as you were pushing me to give way, there was a horse survey outside the camp: "Report - back to the lords and generals, dozens of rangers came on prancing horses, threw twenty or thirty heads in front of our camp, and then whistled in the direction of Qingzhou!" ”

Shan Tingqi asked, "Where is the head?" ”

Tanma said: "The little ones have been put together!" ”

Wei Dingguo shouted: "Submit it!" ”

Some small soldiers used the soldiers in the army to fight the heads of the people and held them in front of the tent. The two eunuchs of the palace and Dao saw the hideous appearance of the heads of those who were cut off alive one by one with their teeth grinning, and they didn't dare to look at it with their sleeves.

Wei Dingguo stepped forward to take a closer look, and then took out a more chic human head from the pile of flesh and blood. The head looked like a sentry, and a long, sharpened bamboo skewer poked through his severed cavity, and came out of his mouth in blood, with an oilcloth bag stuck in the head of the bamboo skewer.

"My lord, please take a look." Wei Dingguo held the bamboo skewer, as if playing a drum, shaking the head and the oilcloth bag to the palace and the second eunuch of the Dao.

The smell of blood rushed to his nose, and the two eunuchs of Gong and Dao were almost nauseous, so they hurriedly hid far away and shouted: "This pickled thing! Throw it farther! ”

Wei Dingguo responded: "Yes! However, this oilcloth bag seems to contain something, before throwing it away, do you open it to see? ”

Everyone in the tent nodded. So Wei Dingguo didn't avoid the fish, and reached out to open the oilcloth bag, but inside was a large dirty white cloth, and I don't know which unlucky ghost had torn it from the inner lining of his armor, which was dipped in blood and pulled out four crooked characters of "Huyan Baishang" with one finger at a finger.

Looking at the pile of human heads and the four blood characters, everyone was terrified. Shan Tingjun said: "Even if Zengtou City has the courage to kill officials and rebel, it doesn't have such a neat and neat means!" These heads can only be cut off by veterans in the army! ”

The palace and Dao two eunuchs got the quasi-Xin'er, and they became frightened birds, and the palace eunuch said: "Now that the Huyan rebels are coming, more things are better than less, then Zengtou City and let it go first!" Even if you want to suppress it, when Brother Dao and I get to the Guan Sheng army, you will attack again, and we will support you spiritually! ”

Huyan is a strong enemy, if you provoke Zengtou City again, it is very unwise. Although the Badu Eunuch was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod his head and agree.

So the two eunuchs of the palace and Dao took the forbidden soldiers and horses to part ways, and Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo saw them back, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Shan Tingqi said: "Thanks to my brother, Zengtou City was spared a military disaster!" ”

Wei Dingguo said with a smile: "My plan is done!" "This is exactly what it is:

The traitor has no real plan in his chest, and the corpse has a lie in his mouth. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
