Chapter 219: Plotting against Liu Biao
Wan Qing and his entourage, the number of troops increased all the way, to the territory of Hubei, from Beizhiliwei, Henan Wei, to Huguangwei, a total of 400,000 elite soldiers were drawn to accompany him, and the rest of the 400,000 troops were available for Wanqing to call at any time. It can be said that there are many soldiers and generals, and I don't know how much more majestic than the prince who resisted foreign enemies at that time.
"General Wan, I received a report from the front, the anti-thief Li Li has three brothers, one is called Wang He, one is called Shi Kui, and the other is called Liu Biao. Wang He and Shi Kui are both reckless men, and they won the hearts of the people with their brute strength, which is not worth mentioning.
The third Liu Biao, but he is a showman, he is the cousin of Liu Zong, the leader of the chaotic party five years ago. After Liu Wei was suppressed, some of the old subordinates followed him. He...... is not willing to succumb to Li Li, we can start from this Liu Biao and break it from the inside. When the time comes, the soldiers will destroy the chaotic party without blood, and you can just ...... "When Zhang Heng was in Taiyuan Pass, his character was not very good, ** one, but his brain was very useful.
Wan Qing has 800,000 troops in his hands this time, and he doesn't mind at all, and he fights with the anti-army. However, he had his plans, so he nodded and said, "Okay, find this Liu Biao, give him some benefits, and let him help us trap Li Li." He joins the army, you take a few people to disguise themselves as homeless people and sneak in and find Liu Biao. Adjutant General Cheng, you bring 200 people over to respond. You must tie Liu Biao back to the camp. ”
Adjutant General Cheng Hanbai and He Jian, who joined the army, took the order.
"The general is clever. General Cheng and his subordinate deputy general Yu Lang are all strong martial artists, plus the military advisors sent by the prince, they are really full of style. Zhang Hengzuo asked, "Is the general taking care of the prince?" Why let Cheng Hanbai take the lead? ”
Wan Qing sneered: "Master Cao explained, find something unhappy for this son, and it is best to get rid of him unconsciously." In terms of strategy, fighting alone and arranging troops, who is his opponent in this army? But in terms of human strategy, he is just a reckless man, Shen Congxi is a military advisor, in the end, he is a scholar, and when the time comes, we don't need to do it, and the chaotic party will get rid of them. ”
Zhang Heng stroked his palms and smiled: "I see! ”
In Cheng Hanbai's military tent, several people were also discussing. This trip Hanbai brought 100,000 guards from the north of Zhili. According to the deputy commander of the guards, he commanded the army, but this time Cao Baoli named his general in court. If he was someone else, he couldn't stand the humiliation of this degrading for a long time, but the prince knew what he was doing with him in private, and sent Shen Congxi, the young man of the James Mansion, as his military advisor, which could be regarded as saving face for him.
Shen Congxi: "It is indeed the best policy to rebel against Liu Biao, but this should be done in secret, and your two hundred people are deployed in it, isn't it a snake to add to the snake and blow up your identity?" What is the identity of He Jian, who joined the army? Whether or not you can work with him is the key. ”
"If you don't ask, I'll forget!" Cheng Hanbai said with a smile: "Before the promotion, Sun Yanxi went to Deshengmen to see him off, and quietly told me that He Jian is a nephew of Sun Furao's own family, and he is his cousin, and he only recognized it when he saw someone in the team, and he also went over to say hello." ”
Shen Congxi patted Cheng Hanbai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then there is a way!" There were only a few of us who infiltrated the homeless people's station to find out the situation, found an opportunity to tie up Liu Biao's relatives for coercion, and then plotted against Liu Biao. ”
After Yu Lang ordered 200 personal soldiers, Cheng Hanbai took Shen Congxi and He Jian to join him, and hurried to Jingxiang Mountain. When they arrived in Xiangyang, they left their horses at the post station, and two hundred sergeants changed into civilian clothes and hid outside the nearest town to wait.
Cheng Hanbai, Shen Congxi, Yu Lang, Cheng Dan, Cheng Shuang, and He Jian and his two generals Tielong and Tiehu, all eight of them disguised themselves as homeless people.
"Major General Cheng, you and I do have a fate, and it is not common to pretend to be beggars together!" He Jian looked at everyone's homeless pretense and laughed. Cheng Hanbai became famous as a young man, and has made many military exploits, and now he has become the prince's brother-in-law, although He Jian is a relative of Sun Fu, he does not want to make friends with him. I don't want to go to Jingxiang this time, but it becomes what he thinks.
"In the future, the word 'major general' will not be called. I'm older than you, you just call me eldest brother, from Xi, the third, and the others are all the villagers of our three brothers, just call them by their names. Cheng Hanbai said with a smile, he could see that He Jian was also a cheerful person.
He Jian nodded: "That's right! Your sister is my cousin's sister-in-law, and Brother Congxi is also the assistant minister of the Prince's East Palace, you and I should be brothers. Big brother, third brother, let's go! Eight "homeless" people strode on the road.
The prince soon received the news, he handed the note to Sun Yanxi, and said with a smile: "Your cousin is also a good man, and they are all righteous." When they come back, you'll have to treat him to a good meal. ”
Sun Yanxi frowned: "Why did Wanqing send Han Bai to take the lead?" I don't believe that he has such a good heart and let Han Bai steal the first credit, there must be a conspiracy in it. ”
The prince smiled: "Do you think Cheng Hanbai and Shen Congxi grew up eating porridge?" Trust them. ”
Jingxiang Mountain, as the name suggests, is a mountainous area in the Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang border areas, where the steep mountains have become a barrier for displaced people, and peasants forced by land annexation or tax and forced labor would rather become "shanty people" than go to the mountains to make a living. There are not a few displaced people who flock to the mountains, and the brothers are inconspicuous among them.
"This uncle, we have just arrived, and we want to beg for a living under a few leaders, and we don't know how to go?" Yu Lang asked the old man in the tea shed.
The old man glanced at a few of them, nodded and said, "Young man, you have strength, you should indeed join the army." I don't know which general you want to defect to? Their barracks are not together. ”
"Our third brother and General Liu Biao Liu are the same talents, and we are with a few fellow villagers, and we want to vote for him, which can be regarded as old acquaintances." Yu Lang smiled.
"Oops! Now it's unfair, even Xiucai Gong is forced to rebel......" The old man shook his head and sighed: "General Liu's military camp is in the westernmost part, and you can walk three or five miles from the back road." ”
Cheng Shuang paid for the tea, and the few people walked west. After entering the mountain pass, the mountain road inside is even more rugged, and if the army enters directly, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage. After walking a few miles, sure enough, I saw the flag fluttering in the distance, and there was a big book in the middle of the word "Liu". Cheng Hanbai was about to walk in, but Shen Congxi stopped him:
"Our troops were divided into three routes: Yu Lang and Cheng Dan, and tried to kidnap Liu Biao's only son, Liu Chen, and went to the town inn to standby. The three brothers of our Cheng family came all the way from Xihua, Henan Province to vote for Liu Biao. Cheng Shuang, Tielong, Tiehu, the three of you all the way, join the army, if we fail, listen to the tooth whistle as a signal, and plan us to retreat. ”
A few heads, according to the plan.
After waiting for about half an hour, they saw the signal that Yu Lang had succeeded, and the other six people entered the barracks in a hurry. Liu Biao still attaches great importance to his identity as a showman, so Shen Congxi reported "the same department as a showman", and the three of them successfully met Liu Biao.
After the greetings, Shen Congxi began to cut to the chase: "General Liu, you and I are both people who have been cold for ten years, but they have no way to serve the country, and your cousin, the general, once held high the banner of the uprising and responded to every call. There is a saying...... I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”
