Chapter 1023: Pursuit
On the other hand, Wang Lang's carriage left the Hezhou military tent and galloped all the way to the west.
He knew that as soon as the granary burned, Qiao Jing would soon figure out the ins and outs, even if he was not completely sure, he would rather kill by mistake than let go, and he would definitely not be kept.
What Wang Lang had to fight for was the time to leave the military tent.
Once he is detained by Qiao Jing, if he wants to get out of it with sophistry, it is not impossible, but the risk is slightly greater.
One link after another, he threw the news of the attack on the granary to Qiao Jing, forcing Qiao Jing to only think about the follow-up arrangements, but unable to distract himself from thinking about what had happened.
Sure enough, Qiao Jing ordered him to beg for food, giving Wang Lang a chance to leave naturally.
Yuan Er led people to wait on the road.
Originally, this trip was taken by other brothers, but Yuan Er couldn't rest assured, even if the front foot had just rushed back to Shudi, and the back foot knew that the plan was unfolding, he still personally brought people over.
The road is far away, Yuan Er has a good foundation, and his heart is hot again, waiting for the battle of Shu to fight Dongyi, and he doesn't feel tired at all.
When Wang Lang's carriage appeared in sight, they hurried out and intercepted the carriage.
Wang Lang got out of the car and was led all the way west by Yuan Er.
Yuan Er rode his horse and said, "You are too dangerous, what if Qiao Jing jumps up and slaughters you?" ”
Wang Lang smiled and said, "Seventy percent sure." ”
He defected to Qiao Jing for several months, and he could be regarded as figuring out the character of Qiao Jing and the people around him, so he decided on such a method.
But as long as it's a plan, there will be times when you can't catch up with the changes, and it's worth taking a risk if you can be 70% sure.
What if......
Those who are afraid of death will not be a dark stake.
Yuan Er also laughed, Wang Lang didn't mean it, he could guess.
"The pursuers will arrive at any time," Yuan Er said, "we have to hurry." ”
On the back of the horse next to him, Xu Qi's figure looked thinner than Yuan Er, and his riding skills were not bad, squinting and smiling at Wang Lang: "With Aunt Jia here, Mr. just rest assured, she will settle down Ling Tang and Mrs. Zun." ”
Wang Lang's head.
Yuan Er sneered: "You kid actually learned to write crepe?" ”
Xu Qi's face was half red, and his mustache was trembling by the oncoming wind: "Mr. Wang is a scholar......
A few words, no more, everyone focused on the road.
Riding a horse is not as smooth as a carriage, although Wang Lang has made a lot of progress in the past few months, it is still difficult to adapt to such a fast horse, he can only hold on.
Time is not waiting for anyone.
Qiao Jing's battle situation is unstable at the moment, according to the plan, Su Ningbo will send troops to force Qiao Jing to retreat, and he is too busy to take care of himself at this time.
And Wang Lang and they want to cooperate with the soldiers of Long'an Mansion to the south as much as possible during this time, and take some towns in Chengdu Mansion into their pockets.
Lobbying everywhere before, Wang Lang traveled to many places in Chengdu Prefecture.
With the foreshadowing of the previous trip, the token given to him by Qiao Jing, and the face of Wang Lang, he could freely enter and exit the city and the yamen before Qiao Jing's order to hunt him down was not conveyed here.
Some of the county government officials who were hesitant and forced to obey by Qiao Jing chose to submit.
There were also those who disobeyed, and Yuan Er led people to directly hold a knife to their necks, and made a choice between being killed and surrendering.
Gu Yunqian stayed in Long'an, Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunqi led their troops into the city, Wang Lang collected one place, and the troops were stationed in one place.
When Qiao Jing's order arrived, most of the entire northern part of Chengdu Mansion was controlled by the imperial court garrison.
Among them, there are no special special rushes, all of them are small towns and towns, and there are few defenses, even if there are trained soldiers, they were also adjusted by Qiao Jing some time ago, which is not a problem, and when the overall force is pressed forward in the next few days, it will be easy to stabilize.
And Chengdu City, after knowing that Wang Lang was actually a sharp knife of the imperial court, simply opened the city gate.
The garrison was transferred to Hezhou, and the grain and grass were burned to the ground in Weizhou, relying on the remaining city gate defenders to defend it, not to mention that it could not be prevented, but Qiao Jing had already retreated to Xuzhou, and he couldn't take care of it at all, so how could he come to the rescue?
What's more, the people still want to be the people of the court, when Qiao Jing is strong, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, Qiao Jing is defeated, what do you want to accompany him to die?
The prefect went out of the city and handed over the seal, and fell to the ground to ask for guilt.
The deterrent effect of burning down the two granaries was great enough, and in just a few days, Qiao Jing's territory was further compressed, and those families and clans who supported Qiao Jing saw that the general trend had gone, and they sought a way for their descendants to retreat and no longer resist.
The three fronts went hand in hand, and because there was almost no resistance, the losses of the imperial court were very small and extremely fast.
Before Qiao Jing could recover his breath in Luzhou, he was overwhelmed by the successive military reports of lost land.
He sent his eldest son Qiao Mao to the capital of Xuzhou, one to stabilize the Lu family and persuade them to defend Xuzhou with him, and the other to capture Jin Anya and Mrs. Wang, whether to kill or not, to detain people.
But Qiao Mao didn't find the two people, in the huge capital of Xuzhou, they were arranged by Ji Tongzhi to live, and the nearby neighbors seemed to hear the quarrel between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law yesterday, and when they got up the next day, they were gone.
Ji Tongzhi stayed in Xuzhou, unable to know about Hezhou for the first time, and he would not stare at the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law for twelve hours, and when he got the news, he would be one step late.
He looked at the empty room in a daze, and he didn't figure it out, Wang Lang, such a young man, deceived him for several months without showing his feet!
When Qiao Jing learned about it, he was so angry that he took a knife to slash the ground.
When the imperial army pressed to the north of Luzhou City, Qiao Jing knew that he couldn't even defend this place.
The Lu family did not abandon Qiao Jing, probably knowing that it was on a rope, and it was too late to cut the table at this moment, so they simply went all the way to the dark.
They wanted to send a batch of grain and grass to Luzhou, but the quantity was limited.
This batch of grain and grass was not delivered in the end, and Aunt Jia sent not only Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Xuzhou City, but also the news of grain transportation.
The grain ship that went down the water was intercepted by the imperial court in Nanxi County.
Luzhou was facing a shortage of food, and Qiao Jing retreated overnight after hearing the news, wanting to run back to Xuzhou City.
Jiang Muyuan led his troops to chase after him, the full moon had passed, it had not yet reached the end of the string, there were no clouds to cover it, the moonlight was still clear, and they caught up with Qiao Jing's remnants before dawn.
The longbow was full, and an arrow poured out, Jiang Muyuan was not aiming at Qiao Jing, but at the ass of Qiao Jing's war horse.
The horse neighed in pain, stumbled and fell to the ground, and even threw Qiao Jing out of the horse.
The spear was pressed against Qiao Jing's throat, who fell to the ground.
In this pursuit, the winner has been decided.
The only thing left for them was the capital of Xuzhou.
Qiao Jing was captured, Jiang Muyuan returned to Luzhou City, and Su Ningbo was waiting for him here.
In the current situation, the capital of Xuzhou is only the end of the canopy, even if they have to hurry to the east, it is difficult for Shu to set off storms and trap Xuzhou City, at most three months, they can reap the results.
However, Jiang Muyuan and Su Ningbo discussed, and still wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat them completely.
The next day, the army entered the outside of Xuzhou City, Wang Lang stood in front of the formation, raised his head, looked at Qiao Mao and the Lu family who were angry on the city wall, and laughed.
