535:The Scholar Doesn't Pay for His Life (1 more)

"Three days later? I'm in a hurry, but it's not impossible. ”

Luo Jun nodded with a smile, as if he was commending Gu Hongtai for doing the right thing.

Yu Xian also laughed, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

So many people are counting on one Cheng Qing, and they don't want to think about whether Cheng Qing's shoulders can take on such a heavy responsibility!

The army of the envoy commanded by Qi was outside the city of Haozhou, and the turban thieves who fought with Governor Shi, the five princes and others were also defeated and retreated, why the envoy of Qi did not dare to storm and enter Haozhou, according to the information that Yu Xian had, it was because the scarf thieves planted a lot of gunpowder in the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family.

If Haozhou can't hold it, these thieves will have to drag the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family to accompany the burial!

I don't know if it was Mr. Zhang's idea for the thief, it's just too shady.

Yu Xian glanced back at the place where Cheng Qing was detained, and with Luo Jun there, it was even more difficult to rescue Cheng Qing before the Haozhou chaos.

Gu Hongtai said that three days later, it was the only chance.

If the chaos is big enough, Luo Jun can't care about Cheng Qing.

Yu Xian hid his thoughts and left with Luo Jun.

……

The chaos created by Gu Hongtai made the scarf thief who guarded Cheng Qing jump.

The matter was truthfully reported to General Wang, and General Wang became suspicious: "Cui Liangshang's father and son are a little wrong. ”

General Wang relied on Cui Liangshang to confirm Cheng Qing's identity.

But what if Cui Liangshang has a problem?

Then Cui Grain Merchant must cover up for 'Cui Peng'.

"But Cui Grain Merchant followed Mr. Zhang back to Haozhou, if Cui Grain Merchant has a problem, Mr. Zhang won't cover it up for him, right?"

"Maybe Mr. Lian Zhang, surnamed Cui, deceived together! General Ben asked him to raise military rations, and he fell ill, and now is a critical period for the two armies of the Righteous Army and the Dog Imperial Court to fight, and he is so sick that he only has one breath left, and he must get up for General Ben. ”

General Wang was suspicious, so he was going to send someone to arrest Cui Liangshang, and by the way, he arrested 'Cui Peng' together, and the little soldier at the gate said that Mr. Zhang was here.

"Come in, sir."

Mr. Zhang came for Cheng Qing.

He shouted that Cheng Qing was honest, Cheng Qing was just disobedient, and today a spy pretended to be a doctor to see Cheng Qing, Wang Jianjun must be suspicious.

Mr. Zhang is here to solve this matter.

He didn't mention Cheng Qing, but asked General Wang to retreat, saying that he had something important to discuss.

General Wang did as he was told, and after only General Wang and Mr. Zhang were left in the room, Mr. Zhang threw down a big thunderbolt, which blew up General Wang's scalp.

"Li Tianwang, their defeat is decided, there is no chance to return to Haozhou, the general should make plans as soon as possible!"

"What-"

"When the general brought tens of thousands of people back to Haozhou, he was mentally prepared, and he didn't have to tell lies in front of Zhang."

Mr. Zhang said bluntly, General Wang's ears were a little red, and it was not easy to act too exaggeratedly.

The rebels lost one battle after another, and the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court recaptured some prefectures and counties controlled by the rebels, and the rebels lost their original pride.

Before Huai'an City was defeated, the rebel army began to decline.

General Wang didn't want to die in vain with others, and as soon as he heard that Haozhou was attacked, he immediately used this as an excuse to return with tens of thousands of righteous troops.

His move can make Li Tianwang and others who are fighting against the rebel army miserable.

If Mr. Zhang is still by Li Tianwang's side, relying on Mr. Zhang's intelligence, Li Tianwang can still fight with the rebel army for several months, and even Mr. Zhang has returned to Haozhou, Li Tianwang will definitely be defeated.

General Wang and Mr. Zhang tore off the fig leaf together, and General Wang had no worries when he spoke: "Mr. is highly talented, please also ask Mr. Wang to show me the way, Wang does not dare to compare himself with Li Tianwang, but he will not treat Mr. lightly!" ”

Mr. Zhang nodded with a smile: "Zhang has always been very optimistic about General Wang, the general is brave in battle, and knows how to make good use of people, he is the face of the master, compared with the general's decisiveness, Li Tianwang is indecisive." ”

Mr. Zhang's words can be regarded as speaking to General Wang's heart.

Although Li Dingshan led everyone to kill officials and rebel at the beginning, the larger the scale of the rebel army, the more Li Dingshan's indecision was exposed.

Take the defeat of General Zhao as an example, just because General Zhao and Li Dingshan had a personal relationship, Li Dingshan actually did not punish the surnamed Zhao, and let the surnamed Zhao be one of the eight generals, and General Wang and these people on an equal footing.

General Wang boasted that he was no worse than Li Dingshan, Li Dingshan was able to gather so many soldiers and horses, and General Wang was replaced to lead the righteous army, and the righteous army may have a brighter future!

"Ask Mr. to help Wang!"

General Wang hugged his fists and begged, and Mr. Zhang did not sell Guanzi, saying that General Wang's stay in Haozhou was a dead end, and when the main army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion destroyed Li Tianwang and others, the next step was to come and subdue Haozhou.

It is better to take advantage of the fact that there are only tens of thousands of imperial soldiers and horses outside Haozhou, General Wang gave up Haozhou and rushed out with his subordinates.

"But there is the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family in Haozhou......"

General Wang still felt that Haozhou was safe.

Mr. Zhang broke his luck: "The ancestral tomb can keep the general for a while, but not for a lifetime, unless the drought in Huainan can end in a short time, the general can still close the city gate and operate Haozhou with peace of mind." Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of imperial army will besiege the city, and the grain and grass in the general's hands will be exhausted sooner or later, and the imperial army will not need to storm Haozhou to safely recover the ancestral tomb. ”

What Mr. Zhang said was exactly what General Wang was worried about.

Now there are tens of thousands of people outside the city, and General Wang also has tens of thousands of people, and the main force of the imperial court counterinsurgency army has not yet come, and General Wang still has hope of rushing out of Haozhou.

When the counterinsurgency army came, he had no hope at all.

"Military division, it's easy to fight Haozhou, but it's not easy to avoid the pursuit of the imperial army."

General Wang is worried about the way back, Mr. Zhang's suggestion is to keep running south, if you can't go to sea, now there are big pirates on the south sea to support the army, and the court has no way to deal with the big pirates.

"The general can follow suit, occupy an island and train his troops, advance and retreat, and defend, and when the general completes the army, find a suitable time to attack and go ashore."

General Wang only has tens of thousands of troops left, and he has no confidence in overthrowing the dog court by relying on these tens of thousands of people, but he is still very confident in occupying an island and supporting troops as the king.

He felt that the future described by Mr. Zhang was promising, but in the end, he still had little reading, and he didn't notice that he was taken into the ditch by Mr. Zhang.

It is good to occupy the island as king, the question is how tens of thousands of people cross the sea?

Mr. Zhang said that he had a plan, and General Wang actually believed it.

I don't want to think about it, no matter how smart Mr. Zhang is, he is not a god, tens of thousands of people dragged and stumbled to the sea, Mr. Zhang can't conjure up a sea ship out of thin air!

Even if they really go to sea smoothly, the army of the imperial court will not be able to catch up, and the existing pirates will not accept being robbed of territory by General Wang.

Maybe General Wang had doubts, but the defeat of the Turban Army was decided, and General Wang couldn't care so much, so he could only take one step at a time and chase the pie drawn by Mr. Zhang.

General Wang couldn't wait to talk with Mr. Zhang all night to discuss what would happen after he went to sea, where could he still care about pursuing Cui Liangshang's father and son.

In the end, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to remind him, saying that Cui Liangshang's origin was a bit problematic, and took the responsibility on himself:

"The general doesn't have to worry, leave everything to Zhang."
