Volume 3 Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 141 Draw from the bottom of the kettle

Qiu Yi under the pen like the wind, occasionally write the wrong words, casually on the paper to change, after a while to write a post, slightly dry it and personally seal it into Wang Lao Wu's hands, said: "At the moment when employing people, everyone has their usefulness, and you can't be allowed to shirk here." As for whether you can find Victor Lee, that's your problem, not mine. If this fails, you won't have to come back. Why don't you hurry out and execute? ”

Wang Lao Wu listened to Qiu Yi's order and had no room for maneuver, and looked at Lin Shuhan with a pleading gaze, and saw that he didn't react, so he had to reluctantly agree, and retreated first, thinking that he would ask Lin Shuhan for an idea after he was free.

After sending Wang Lao Wu away, Qiu Yizhi greeted again: "Where is Liu Qing?" ”

Liu Qing, the envoy of Jiangnan Province, hurriedly agreed: "The last general is here." However, the last general is not in Jiangnan now, and he is a festival envoy without soldiers, so I don't know what he can help His Highness Yi? ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "I ordered you to rush to Huguang Road with this idea, explain the origin of the matter, and temporarily stabilize General Zuo Wei Hu, can you do a good job in this matter?" ”

Liu Qing scratched his head and said, "General Wei is cautious and serious, and I don't have any side evidence in my hand, so I'm afraid he won't believe my words......"

Qiu Yizhi immediately replied, "What I like is Wei Hu's prudence. If he refuses to believe my words, then he will not believe Zheng Xin's words. As long as he remains neutral and puts me in a head-to-head confrontation with Zheng Xin, then my chances of winning will be greatly increased. ”

Liu Qing listened to Qiu Yizhi's words, and suddenly realized, seeing that Lin Shuhan, who was resourceful on the side, couldn't stop nodding, knowing that this strategy was indeed feasible, and being able to run away from the whirlpool of struggle to the relative safety of Huguang was also something that Liu Qing couldn't ask for.

So Liu Qing immediately patted his chest and agreed: "The last general has a good relationship with General Wei Hu before, and he will definitely be able to persuade General Wei to stay still." With that, he turned and left the house.

Qiu Yizhi glanced at the door that had been closed from outside, took another piece of rice paper, and wrote something on the paper quickly.

He was halfway through writing, and the door was pushed open again, but it was Zhao Chengxiao who walked in from the outside and arched his hand: "My lord, the brothers who can move have already come." In addition to the original number of one hundred and fifteen, some of the brothers will also come. They were not lightly injured, and I taught them to recuperate in peace, but they just refused to ......."

Qiu Yizhi didn't raise his head, and said: "Tell them not to be reluctant, we will set off immediately and make a long run to the capital Luoyang." If they are physically exhausted, there is no one to take care of them. ”

When Zhao Chengxiao heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and said, "Do you want to go to Luoyang?" I'll go out and count the heads again, and then get the horses ready, don't worry, my lordship." ”

Qiu Yizhi had already filled a piece of rice paper and said, "This is a small matter, and there is an important matter, only you can handle it right now." ”

"What's the matter? My lord commanded him. Zhao Chengxiao agreed very simply.

Qiu Yizhi read the rice paper from beginning to end, signed his name at the end, and took out the seal of the prison country handed over to him by Zheng Miao, smeared the seal with mud and stamped it with a red Tongtong seal, and after sealing it himself, he wrote on the cover the words "Dali of the Great Han Zhongshun King Bohai State Khan Dali personally opened".

After finishing the matter, Qiu Yizhi smiled with satisfaction, handed the letter to Zhao Chengxiao, and said: "You will go to Guangyang City of Youyan Road, and I want to hand over this letter to Dali Khan, or give it to his military advisor Mr. Cai Wenchou." You have 10 days to complete this matter. ”

Zhao Chengxiao took the letter and asked, "I haven't been to Bohai Country once, but I'm a little embarrassed, and I ask my lord to be able to give me two more days." ”

"No, not a single day." Qiu Yizhi said without compromise, "Let me tell you, Dali has a liaison in Guangyang City, and that is Yelu. You know this too, and if you ask him to handle it, it will definitely not delay time. You can go now. ”

Zhao Chengxiao listened, pursed his lips and nodded, made another gesture, and left the room without looking back.

Under Tongguan, if the fast horse ride is smooth, it will take seven or eight days to reach Guangyang, and then go north to the Bohai Sea, and I don't know how many days it will take, and the "ten days" deadline is extremely urgent.

Everyone didn't know why Qiu Yi was so nervous, but they didn't dare to ask, only Lin Shuhan squeezed out a little smile and asked, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry to send a letter to Bohai?" Please also ask for your advice. ”

Qiu Yizhi said coldly: "Most of the Youyan cavalry is now in the south of the Yangtze River, if you want to fight Zheng Xin, you have to transfer the Bohai Iron Cavalry, and my letter is to ask Dali Khan to send troops south to help in the war." ”

Uncle Lin laughed dryly: "My lord is really far-sighted. However, at present, it seems that the Turks are under great pressure on the Bohai State, and if Dali Khan sends elite troops south, he is afraid that the Turks will take advantage of it. I'm afraid that he doesn't want to buy the face of an adult. ”

"I promised him that after the deed was completed, I would send heavy troops to attack the Turks north for him and help him expand his territory." Qiu Yizhi replied, "If it can't be successful, it will be the same if Guangyang City is ceded to him." ”

Lin Shuhan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Daxing turned out to be the prince of Youyan. That Guangyang City is the land of Longxing, how can it be easily ceded to foreign domains? ”

"Of course you can't cede it. Wouldn't it be better for me to break my promise at that time? The Turks can't beat me, can't I beat the Bohai Sea? Qiu Yizhi's words were as cold as ice.

Qiu Yi is resourceful, and he has indeed used various strategies, but the targets are all enemy outsiders, but he is extremely sincere and trustworthy to his family; And just now he deliberately deceived his allies, and said it in a natural tone, which made everyone present feel very cold when they heard it.

Wen Lingjiao is also a person who has just experienced the pain of losing her brother, and her heart is already full of grief, but even she doesn't know how much such a human tragedy as her father-in-law, master, and two brothers being killed one after another in just a few days will change Qiu Yizhi's heart.

didn't have to think about it, but listened to Qiu Yizhi say: "Okay, I'm going to leave for the capital Luoyang." Mr. Lin went with me, and the rest of the female dependents asked Wang Shijie to send elite soldiers to escort them, and slowly followed behind. ”

With that, Qiu Yizhi suddenly stood up from his seat and walked out the door. He was so tired that he stood up too quickly and was a little dizzy, and he immediately stumbled under his feet and almost fell.

Wen Lingjiao hurriedly helped him and said, "Don't be in a hurry, the son will take a bath and change clothes and eat before setting off, and it won't delay much time......"

Lin Shuhan also echoed: "That's right, Zi said: 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools', as the saying goes, 'sharpen the knife and don't cut wood', that's the truth, it's not a waste of time at all." ”

"There's no time to lose. Zheng Xin, a thief, lives in the world for one more day, which is my sin. Qiu Yizhi said fiercely, "I'll leave now, if you don't want to come, forget it." ”

After saying that, Qiu Yizhi stepped forward and pushed the door out.

How could the others let him act alone, so he hurried out.

The soldiers who had just been summoned by Zhao Chengxiao were really lined up outside the door, and Qiu Yizhi saw that most of them were covered with blood-colored bandages in white, but they all tried to straighten their chests and put on a energetic appearance, and they were moved in their hearts, and said loudly: "It's all Zheng Xin, the thief, who caused the evil, and all the grudges must be recorded on his head." I'm going to Luoyang, the capital, to organize counterinsurgency, are you willing to go with me? ”

"Yes! I am willing to go to the sea of swords and fires with adults! The armies echoed in unison.

"Good! You can say that again! Qiu Yizhi said loudly, "After the matter is completed, you will be the heroes of the country, all of you will be crowned with officials and knights, at least the future of the Zhonglang generals, and you will be guaranteed to eat and eat inexhaustibly, and leave your name in history!" Come with me, everybody! ”

Qiu Yizhi's subordinates were originally bandits-born soldiers on Funiu Mountain, not to mention that most of the township brave regiments he recruited in Shanyin County also had a twist and turn relationship. In this battle, they all had comrades who were brothers and sisters or cousins, and they had already gritted their teeth and hated Zheng Xin, the initiator, and after Qiu Yizhi's promise, they were even more arrogant, and shouted in unison: "Go!" ”

Witnessing such a thing, Wang Shijie naturally would not stop Qiu Yizhi's entry into the customs again, and personally ordered the guards to open the gate, and watched Qiu Yi's headquarters gallop to the west on horseback.

The two official roads that lead directly to the capital city of Luoyang were built quickly, straight and smooth, and one of the Qiu Yi lines traveled along the official road in the starry night, and walked for two days to reach the city of Luoyang.

The defense of the capital Luoyang is naturally much tighter than that of ordinary cities, and now the emperor is not in the capital, and it is almost time for curfew in the evening, and he is preparing to lock the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate was gradually closing, Qiu Yizhi immediately sent the "Iron Head Jiao" among his own soldiers to step forward quickly, and asked the sergeant guarding the gate to stay at the door for the time being, waiting for him to enter the city.

Zheng Xin was far away in Jiangnan, and he couldn't control the capital Luoyang thousands of miles away, and he was confident that he could intercept and kill Zheng Miao, so he didn't send his cronies to replace the officers who were originally guarding the door.

Therefore, the officer in charge of the gate of the capital is still an old man from Youyandao. Originally, it was not a big deal to delay the closing of the door for a quarter of an hour or two quarters, but His Royal Highness Qiu Yizhi came forward and was happy to buy his personal favor, so Qiu Yizhi passed through the city gate smoothly.

After entering the capital Luoyang, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the "Iron Head Jiao" walked to the side of Qiuyi's horse and asked, "My lord, where are you going now?" ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't look at him: "Don't talk, follow me!" With that, he grabbed the horse's belly, turned to the left, and walked away quickly.

After walking for a cup of tea, Qiu Yizhi stopped in front of a large mansion, looked up at the wide lintel, and saw that only the two big characters "Wangfu" were written on it.

Seeing this, a sinister smile rose at the corner of Qiu Yizhi's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to beckon the "Iron Head Jiao" and ordered: "This is Zheng Xin's mansion, there are two gates in front and back, and there are three other small doors on the left and right for people to enter and exit and transport goods, you order twenty brothers, these doors are blocked, and no one can be let out, you know?" ”

"Iron Head Jiao" is a bandit and bandit, closing the doors is a habitual means of robbing large households, he has done it many times before, he has already mastered it, agreed, pointed and selected twenty people, and went to work.

Qiu Yizhi was not idle, and called Meng Hong, who had the greatest strength in the Xiangyong group training, and ordered: "You have great strength, knock this door open for me." ”

Meng Hong is different from the "iron head Jiao", he was originally a kind woodcutter, but when he saw the two big words "Wangfu" on the lintel, he was already afraid of three points of courage, and said tremblingly: "My lord, which palace is this?" How about we salute first and then soldiers, and go and call the door first? ”
