Chapter 195: Alliance
When he first came here, although the situation was a little grim, with the help of Wang Chang, the middle-aged eunuch quickly controlled the situation, and then Guo Fang commanded the border army and the forbidden army to exterminate the horse bandits, and gave him a great merit in vain, so the middle-aged eunuch was in a very good mood at this time.
No, the concubine sent him over, and there was another important task.
When Jiang Long heard this, he knew that it was time for the middle-aged eunuch to reveal his identity.
"If there's anything, please tell me clearly."
The middle-aged eunuch waved his hand and waved away the entourage left and right, and Jiang Long saw this and asked Tudu and the others to retreat and be on guard all around.
At this time, the middle-aged eunuch was the right person to say: "Don't hide it from Lord Jing, in fact, our family is a person who believes in the king!" ”
"King Xin's talent, young and promising, talented, is the real dragon and phoenix among people, and there is more Cheng Guifei in the palace to assist, the future ...... This official has always admired him, but he did not have the opportunity to visit him, and he deeply regrets it. Jiang Long's heart moved.
Although what will happen to the future after the word, Jiang Long did not say it clearly, but the middle-aged eunuch's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "Since Lord Jing is also very optimistic about the future of His Royal Highness King Xin, why not do your best to assist like our family?" ”
Jiang Long just smiled and said nothing.
"Lord Jing is a real understanding person, when he can see the situation clearly, now the crown prince has the highest voice, but it is limited to civil officials, and without the support of military generals, how can the prince sit firmly on the throne of the dragon chair? In addition to the crown prince, there is also a noble prince, but his mother is humble, and there is no big shili in the court, so he can't be compared with King Xin at all.
Then there was originally a Huai King, but ...... "Speaking of zuihou, the middle-aged eunuch looked at Jiang Long with ulterior motives.
Jiang Long diverted from this topic, "There are also His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness King Yue." ”
King Jin is ranked fourth, named Zhao Sheng, twenty years old this year, and he is also an adult prince.
King Yue is ranked sixth, named Zhao Chang, 15 this year, only one year younger than the prince, it is said that he has been very smart since he was a child, very naughty and cute, quite literary, long and white and tender, very loved by the old emperor.
"Them?" The middle-aged eunuch was disdainful, "They have almost no shili in the court, and the emperor did not deliberately cultivate cronies for them, even if the eldest prince is regarded as an opponent by King Xin, it is just because the eldest prince is old." ”
Standing tall and not young, this is the greatest natural advantage of Xiangwang Zhao Yang as the eldest prince.
"But although the emperor is old, there are rumors in the palace that the dragon's body is not good, but who knows if the emperor can still ...... It is rumored again and again that the emperor always lives well, and maybe he can hold on until the younger prince grows up. Jiang Long spoke again.
The middle-aged eunuch actually knew that it would be difficult to pull Jiang Long into the camp of King Xin.
Including those hairpin families in the capital that have been inherited for hundreds of years, noble and wealthy families, unless they can only stand on one side because of their kinship, they will not easily express their position.
He's just doing his best.
"Lord Jing's consideration is not unreasonable." The middle-aged eunuch said: "But at present, the prince has an absolute advantage, and the prince is ...... with Jingfu Hey! ”
"If the king of faith is useful to his official in the future, he will do his best to help him." Jiang Long didn't plan to stand in King Xin's camp, but don't make a fuss either, if it was to deal with the crown prince, he would naturally join forces with King Xin.
The middle-aged eunuch just smiled, Jiang Long's words already expressed the meaning of being able to form an alliance.
It's a terrible weapon, and it's amazing!
This is the greatest value of winning over Jianglong.
If you can give the prince a shot...... Shin Wang has no more opponents.
As for the eldest prince, at least on the surface, there is no big capital.
Of course, the crown prince is not so easy to assassinate.
It's just a matter of thinking.
King Huai died, and the prince of the royal family was also blown up without a body, which already made the people in the royal family fearful, and the protection around him was greatly increased.
What's more, the crown prince is the prince of Great Qi?
The emperor has secretly ordered that the crown prince is not allowed to leave the East Palace without any important matters.
This is the protection of the crown prince.
Forming an alliance with Jiang Long is the main purpose of the middle-aged eunuch's trip.
Now that it has been achieved, it is naturally very happy.
In order to express the sincerity of King Xin's side, the middle-aged eunuch mentioned several generals who served in northern Xinjiang, saying that if Jiang Long encountered any problems, he could go to these generals at any time to ask for help, and these generals would naturally do their best to help.
Then, the middle-aged eunuch reminded Jiang Long to be careful, "A few years ago, the emperor sent a few senior officials who stood in the prince's camp to come to Northern Xinjiang to serve.
Although His Royal Highness King Xin has the heart to help Lord Jing, Lord Jing is a civil official, and the help of generals in the army is always limited. ”
"This official will record the great kindness of His Royal Highness King Xin!" Jiang Long clenched his fists.
When the middle-aged eunuch and Jiang Long discussed matters, there was already a fight on the battlefield.
After the last battle, the original forbidden army sergeant was already frightened by the horse bandits and did not dare to rush forward.
However, Guo Fang commanded properly, and ambushed in advance, and directly disrupted the formation of the horse bandits at the first time.
Defeated!
Where are the horse bandits at this time still fierce in the past?
It's just a blind desire to find a way to escape.
Several leaders couldn't take care of it anymore and wanted to rush out early.
Not to mention ordinary thieves.
As for kneeling down and begging for mercy, it is really these horse bandits who know the ruthless methods of the border army, and even if they surrender, they will be beheaded after surrendering.
In addition to the fact that the border army did all the evil things of the horse bandits and carried the lives of their comrades, there was also a point that the heads of the horse bandits could be exchanged for money and recorded war exploits.
Those who are captured alive are not worth as much as those who are dead.
Therefore, the horse bandits knew that they would die if they surrendered, so they naturally wanted to find an opportunity to escape.
Guo Fang also broke up the border army, and asked a border army sergeant to bring a few forbidden army sergeants, where would the border army sergeant be afraid of horse bandits?
When I saw the face, I couldn't wait to rush forward and cut off my head to make money.
Acting much more fiercely than the horse bandits, with them in front of the forbidden army sergeant, they finally overcame the shadow in their hearts and rushed forward together.
Even if it is a flock of sheep and led by a tiger, its combat power is still not to be underestimated.
The Praetorian sergeant rushed forward and found that the bandits were completely focused on escaping, and rarely encountered resistance.
Naturally, it is also the sex of killing.
It's not that they don't have a little strength, and it's always okay to hunt down the fugitives.
The horse bandits are fierce, but now they have confused the morale of the army, and they are panicked, just wanting to escape and survive.
The situation on the battlefield is one-sided.
Cheng Gang, Wei Huan, and Wang Chang led the team and commanded locally.
More than an hour later, the war was drawing to a close.
Of the fifteen hundred horse bandits, less than fifty escaped.
All the rest remained here.
More than 1,100 horses, more than 200 knives, guns and other weapons were seized.
Sixty people were killed in the Praetorian Army, five in the border army, and the rest were all lightly wounded and not seriously wounded.
This battle is a complete victory!
Hearing the report, the middle-aged eunuch smiled and bent his eyes.
first pulled Jiang Long to write excerpts together, and only after reading each other did they start to write excerpts to ask for merit to the soldiers.
After seeing Guo Fang, Jiang Long just squeezed his eyes and reminded him to be a little mentally prepared.
Guo Fang has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he doesn't think it's strange.
As long as the middle-aged eunuch is not too greedy.
The generals discussed in the tents, and the border sergeants took the forbidden sergeants to harvest heads and clean up the battlefield outside.
Watching the border army sergeants cut off the heads of horse bandits like wheat harvesters, most of the forbidden army sergeants couldn't stand it.
The scene is too bloody!
So there were border sergeants who scolded them.
Don't even dare to cut off a person's head, is it still considered a soldier?
cooperated once, so that the relationship between the border army and the forbidden army eased a little, and some border army sergeants just forced those forbidden army sergeants to use knives to cut.
That's kind of heart!
Now the soldiers of the forbidden army are still in the northern frontier, and there is still a way to go.
If you don't even dare to kill someone, so cowardly, then if you encounter an enemy attack in the future, then you are likely to lose your life.
To be a man, you still have to be self-reliant!
When the purpose of the middle-aged eunuch's trip is achieved, he must turn back.
The capital is still waiting for him to go back to report the news.
He didn't dare to delay outside.
He didn't have the power to take over the team, and then the highest-ranking general in the team became Guo Fang.
Early the next morning, before the middle-aged eunuch left, he pulled Jiang Long aside again.
"I heard that Lord Jing has some interest in Mrs. Diexiang?" The middle-aged eunuch said with a smile.
Jiang Long coughed noncommittally.
The middle-aged eunuch just threw a knowing look, and said: "As long as Lord Jing can assist His Royal Highness King Xin, Mrs. Diexiang Zuihou will inevitably be Lord Jing's beautiful concubine!" ”
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness King Xin." Jiang Long showed a confused look at the right time.
The middle-aged eunuch is happy daxiao.
Young people, they are really frivolous, and it is difficult to control themselves in the face of beauty!
The heads of the three horse bandit leaders, as well as Mao Ming, Xu Youcai and some of Mu Xuan's personal soldiers were all taken away by the middle-aged eunuch.
The team moved on, but the future was uncertain.
Guo Fang rode a horse, his armor was bright, and he slowly marched in the middle of the team, and said to Jiang Long: "Although Mu Xuan is dead, the merchants in the northern Xinjiang have already given him the deposit for salt, and those traders will definitely not be willing to stop."
We need to be careful. ”
Jiang Long knew that those traders in Northern Xinjiang were ruthless and bold, so he nodded when he heard this.
But in the end, the two were overly worried.
Because after the team walked for another two days, wherever they went, they would suddenly be escorted by local troops stationed in the area.
The Northern Frontier sergeant is not something that horse bandits dare to provoke easily.
Jiang Long thought about it and understood that it should be the emperor who still had a move.
Fearing that he would be in danger, he asked the local army to assist in escorting.
Even the emperor already has the idea of leaving such a dangerous place as Northern Xinjiang, right?
Before he was sure that Jingfu would be uprooted, the emperor did not dare to let Jiang Long have trouble.
Four days later, the team arrived at their destination and handed over the salt safely and smoothly.
The Guo clan, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huan returned with the border army and said goodbye to Jiang Long.
After the task was completed, although they were still outside, Guo Fang and the three of them didn't care a lot anymore, so they found a restaurant and had a drink with Jiang Long.
After a banquet, the relationship between the three seemed to be a little stronger.
Guo Fang patted his chest and said, if Jiang Long has something, even if he drags someone with a letter, as long as he can help, it is absolutely unambiguous.
The same is true for Cheng Gang and Wei Huan.
Rest for the night in the local area and say goodbye to each other the next day.
