[Chapter 5, Volume 5]

Section 491

Of course, Shen Zangfeng wants to go to Yanzhou.

And it's not just that he replaced Shen Zangli - to be precise, it was Shen Zangli who returned to the imperial capital for treatment and recuperation due to injury, and Shen Zangfeng led 20,000 Xiliang troops to reinforce Yanzhou.

After all, the world is full of flames, and Yanzhou City, which has hoarded the most baggage, has not been able to recapture it for a long time, which has made the scholars completely impatient. Before that, I had to worry about the reaction of the saint, and I didn't dare to act too much, so as not to get into trouble with the royal family to the point of inextricability and give birth to unnecessary variables. But now that the Holy One has made it clear that he doesn't care about anything but wants to enjoy himself to the end, the scholars no longer hide their purpose...... The credit for killing Lu Haozhi and recapturing Yanzhou City is secondary, and no one will want to share the mountain of baggage in Yanzhou City.

So this time Shen Zangli was actually not injured to the point of dying, but after being hit by the arrow, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to send him back to the imperial capital to heal, and at the same time sent people to rush back to the imperial capital day and night to send a letter to his father Shen Xuan - under the pretext of shame and revenge for the eldest son, and the fact that Yanzhou could not be taken for a long time, Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou rolled up their sleeves and mediated with each family for a while, and only then did they get the promise of the DPRK and China to let Shen Zangfeng lead the Xiliang army to the expedition.

After knowing what had happened, Wei Changying was quite worried: "I heard that Yanzhou City is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lu Haozhi was born in poverty, and he was promoted to the position of Yanzhou Guard General by relying on real learning. "Now Yanzhou is a hot potato!

"Is it impossible to be a husband and embroider straw?" Shen Zangfeng smiled lightly and quipped, and said, "As for saying that Yanzhou City is high and deep, and you have your own sense of proportion for your husband, you don't have to worry." ”

It's no wonder if you don't worry!

It's just that Wei Changying can't intervene in the matter of military strategy, and no matter how worried her husband will not be able to step down at that time, she can only ask again and again if his safety can be guaranteed - Xu is wife is too worried, Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment, and finally revealed the bottom to her: "Actually, this time the eldest brother deliberately gave me the opportunity." ”

Wei Changying was surprised: "Could it be that the eldest brother already has a plan to break the city?" ”

"Although the idea was not made by the eldest brother, the eldest brother also knew it. This time, the eldest brother's injury is not very serious, if he continues to stay in Yanzhou City and offer advice to the third uncle, this credit will naturally belong to the eldest brother. Shen Zangfeng sighed and said, "But the eldest brother insisted on letting me go out of the limelight, and even deliberately let the stray arrows be shot in the last siege for this reason, claiming that he was seriously injured, and ordered someone to send him back to the capital ......."

"Big brother, he ......" Wei Changying frowned and asked puzzledly, "Then who came up with the idea of breaking the city?" "In fact, Yanzhou has been defeated many times so far, although the Su family, the Shen family, and the Liu family are all embarrassed, but people who know how convenient it is for Yanzhou to defend the city are not surprised by this result. Because of an important town like Yanzhou, as long as the guards do not make a big mistake, and the weight in the city can be supported, theoretically it can be defended forever.

Although the Su, Shen, and Liu families are all martial arts heirlooms, and the generals and soldiers sent out are not mediocre, but the conditions for defending the city in Yanzhou are unique, and there is no way to do it.

In this situation, either increase the troops and attack, and the strong attack on Yanzhou is like a mountain and there are not enough soldiers to defend, and the city is broken; Either they are hoping to persuade them to surrender or they are in civil strife in the city and take the initiative to open the door...... In addition, no matter how talented a general is, it is impossible to break the city in a short period of time.

But now Shen Zangfeng said that someone had an idea to break the city, and he was let go by the Shen brothers before he even practiced it? Wei Changying's curiosity rose, and he blurted out, "Who is so powerful?" ”

When Shen Zangfeng heard this, he glanced at her, and then said meaningfully: "Do you still remember when the people of Yanzhou changed, Uncle Wei Liu went to Yanzhou?" ”

"Sixth Uncle?!" Wei Changying was stunned and said, "Was it his idea?!" ”

This uncle...... Why do you stick a foot in everything? This was the case in Fengzhou, and when Wei Changying's detective went to Xiliang, he got involved with him again, although Wei Xinyong himself was not present at that time and only sent his henchmen...... Now he has actually been involved in the affairs of Yanzhou!

"It's not an idea, the key is the manpower he arranged." Shen Zangfeng's eyes showed a faint appreciation, and he said, "As early as when he was ordered by our grandfather to go to Yanzhou to quell the popular rebellion led by the Qin family, he expected that Lu Haozhi would have eight out of ten. Nine will be opposed, and when the time comes, nine out of ten will fall into Yanzhou City. So at that time he kept his hands behind...... He asked Mo Binwei and other henchmen to pretend to be wanted bandits from other states, and sneaked into Yanzhou when Lu Haozhi's Huaiyin escaped to hide in the countryside and acquiesced in the Qin family's initiation to put pressure on the imperial court to seek punishment for Wei Qingming. ”

Wei Changying sighed - it would be fine if Wei Xinyong arranged for other inner chambers to be in Yanzhou City, in fact, from the Qin family's troubles and Lu Haozhi's actual seal, it was inferred that Lu Haozhi was definitely not the only one who was centrifuged by the imperial court. In Yanzhou City, even now, there are not no secret rooms among all families, who would not pay attention to such an important town?

But the key is that Lu Haozhi is not a fool, and having a secret room does not mean that it will definitely be successful. Those particularly capable secret rooms were quickly cleaned up after Lu Haozhi's rebellion - Lu Haozhi was the head snake in Yanzhou. It's okay before, these secret rooms are basically sent by the scholars, and he can't afford to mess with the scholars when he is honestly a Great Wei general, even if he knows, he can only pretend to be confused.

But now, Lu Haozhi's acquiescence to the Qin family's troubles has already offended the Zhibentang and is equivalent to offending the scholar clan together. In that case, what else is he afraid of?

The people who are left after this cleanup will also be able to pass on the message. And just to pass on the news, everyone knows the news of Yanzhou City now: there are enough soldiers and they are all soldiers who have been stationed in the local area for many years and are familiar with every brick in the city; The guards are shrewd and promoted all the way up by their talents; The most important thing is baggage! The baggage is abundant!

On the side of defending the city, the city itself is strong and deep, and with these three advantages, even if the position of each soldier standing when he was defending is drawn and shown to the besieging side, what can he do?

But Mo Binwei is different, this talent that Rui Yutang missed is actually not a good candidate for the secret room, because what he is good at is military strategy rather than camouflage. However, Wei Xinyong's opportunity to arrange for him to enter Yanzhou was very ingenious, just before Lu Hao's heart was anti-willful but he didn't make a move. Later, the popular rebellion launched by the Qin family was extinguished, and Lu Haozhi quietly appeared in the state city and rebelled openly - at this time, what he lacked most was a capable general.

Mo Binwei is simply a blessing from heaven to him!

Wei Changying could imagine that Mo Binwei didn't even need to fabricate his identity at all, as long as he told his experience truthfully from the beginning - it was the part that was coaxed and abducted by Wei Xinyong to pinch off, and it became that after he killed the guards of Rui Yutang and escaped, he had to fall into the grass.

Even if Lu Haozhi didn't have time to send someone to Fengzhou to verify his identity, Mo Binwei's talent would become powerful evidence.

Because although Mo Binwei is a commoner, which family will not cultivate or hide this kind of natural talent for later use, and is willing to send him out to be a secret room? You must know that now is the time when troubled times are coming, and no matter how dull the head of the family is, he should understand how important it is to have one of the disciples in this eye-knuckle clan who is good at military strategy - no matter how many private soldiers there are, what is the difference between a plate of loose sand without a competent general?!

Besides, Mo Binwei's temperament doesn't look like a person who can do a secret room, not to mention, Wei Xinyong also arranged for him to go with his henchmen, don't think about it, those henchmen must be the masters who have really done bandits! With these people under their cover, coupled with Mo Binwei's reputation so far - Lu Haozhi's eyes and ears are far from Mengshan to inquire - how can you not believe him?

There is such a person under the command of Lu Hao, and he is calculated by heart and unintentional, and he is not 10% sure of breaking the city, but it is also eight out of ten. Nine things. It's no wonder that Shen Zangli would give this credit to Shen Zangfeng-Wei Changying thought for a while: "It's really strange, we all know about the sixth uncle's personality." Since he has such a backhand, why didn't he find the Liu family to sell it at a good price, but instead found our family? ”

Wei Xinyong is not a kind-hearted person who does not want to repay his kindness, he tried his best to send out the most powerful and valuable Mo Binwei under his command, how could he selflessly solve problems for the Great Wei court and Shen Su Liu? has dragged on until now, Su Xiuwei and Shen Zangli have been defeated and returned after several sieges, the Su family's Shen family has been disgraced, and the Liu family's elite soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, Wei Xinyong confided in his hand, which can still be explained that Mo Binwei also needs time to fight for the corresponding status to ensure the degree of internal and external cooperation, and Wei Xinyong's intention to make a move when everyone needs it most.

But in any case, in the entire Yanzhou rebellion, the most anxious and willing to pay the price should be the Liu family. In other words, Wei Xinyong's news of Mo Binwei should be the most beneficial from selling it to the Liu family. Why did he choose the Shen family? Wei Changying, who is well versed in this uncle's temperament, knows that not to mention that this uncle does not have a good relationship with him, Wei Xinyong is not the kind of person who will give up his own interests because of personal preference.

Sure enough, after listening to his wife's doubts, Shen Zangfeng explained: "This is because the previous few sieges were defeated, and the Donghu army suffered great casualties, and the Liu family was already very anxious. If he knew that Sixth Uncle Wei had a reliable internal service under Lu Hao, but he didn't confide at this moment, he would definitely hate him! Even if it is inconvenient to break the city now, he will definitely make a false deal with Uncle Wei Liu, and settle accounts afterwards! ”

Wei Changying understood: "So Sixth Uncle he sold this news to our Shen family, and he also wanted our Shen family to ensure his safety?" ”

If Liu Jiaruo really had murderous intentions towards Wei Xinyong, the guards around Wei Xinyong alone couldn't prevent it at all. And Wei Xinyong's identity and status are very embarrassing, even if he dies, Wei Huan, who is far away in Fengzhou, may not be able to fight with the Liu family - it is not his biological son in the end, and for Ruiyutang, Wei Xinyong's status is not irreplaceable.

Therefore, although Wei Xinyong secretly set up Mo Binwei's hole card, if one is not good, not only can he not get any benefits, but he will even send his own life - and now there is any more reliable family in the entire imperial capital than the protection promised by the Shen family, who has 60,000 Xiliang troops in Gyeonggi?

For the Shen family, this exchange is also worth it, because this time the city is not only a credit and a reputation, but the most important thing is that Shen Zangli returned from a serious injury, Shen Zangfeng led troops to reinforce and avenge his brother Here-the focus is on leading troops-The benefits that the 20,000 Xiliang army can snatch away can be compared with the benefits that Shen Zangli can take alone with a small branch of the "thorn fence" as a guard? Can you still expect that the things stolen by the Donghu army will be handed over to Su Xiuwei and Shen Zangli?

In this way, everyone is happy.

Wei Changying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "It's a shame that the Xiliang Army is in Gyeonggi. ”

Shen Zangfeng smiled: "By the way, Uncle Wei Liu, he still wants another person-this one has to worry about Ying'er." ”

Because of the example of Mo Binwei, now when he heard Wei Xinyong say that he was going to ask for someone again, Wei Changying suddenly became vigilant and said vigilantly: "He wants someone again?" Who do you want this time?! Isn't it Aunt Huang!? Or Aunt He? ”

Shen Zangfeng didn't know that Wei Xinyong had asked Wei Changying to convey the words of wanting to take away Mo Binwei to Wei Huan, and when he heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed and said, "How dare he ask for your aunt to marry?" What he wants is Lai Qinniang! ”
