Chapter 44: Exploitation
"The Li Meng Wang Fang only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, and there are some deficiencies in guarding the city, Chang'an is our back road, we must not afford to lose, General Li, why don't you let the subordinates help the Li Meng Wang Fang and guard the back road for everyone?" Zhang Ji suddenly stood up and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ji's eyes froze, and his fierce color flashed, he was the leader of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji's words were undoubtedly against his military order, but then he thought that a strong enemy was coming, and he couldn't have civil strife, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, and snorted coldly: "General Zhang has this heart, just stay in Chang'an!"
Wait for Ma Teng to be repulsed, and then come to clean you up! Li Dao secretly made up his mind in his heart, he had long wanted to annex Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses to strengthen his own power, and Zhang Ji's opposition at this time made him even more determined.
Zhang Ji is not an easy person, he can feel Li Dao's hidden malice, and sneered in his heart, "A few days ago, Li Dao also planned to kidnap his wife and threaten me, if he sent troops with Li Dao this time, this traitor will definitely borrow Ma Teng's hand and consume my soldiers and horses, how can he let him get his wish!"
After the discussion, everyone immediately acted, the entire Chang'an City suddenly fell into chaos, a dull horn sounded, countless Xiliang soldiers walked out of Chang'an City, went to the school field to gather, there are many soldiers in their hands still holding the looted property reluctant to throw away, was seen by the fierce captain and military marquis, immediately waved the horsewhip, these people smoked blood.
Before the war, how could you fight with all your might if you had money in hand?
Liu Fan ran around the city, and soon got the information about the transfer of the Xiliang army from other officials, and hurriedly returned to Huangfu Song to report, Guo Longzhen heard that the Xiliang army left Zhang Ji, Li Meng, and Wang Fang in the city to guard the hundred officials and guard the imperial city, and his heart was immediately overjoyed.
"Li Ji sent the Flying Bear Army to kidnap Zhang Ji's wife, how could Zhang Ji give up, he must be centrifugal to the Xiliang Army in his heart, as long as he said that Zhang Ji would be moved, it would be easy to leave Chang'an!"
Guo Longzhen really wants to look up to the sky and howl and express the joy in his heart, it is really God's help, as long as he helps the Son of Heaven to leave Chang'an, the Taiping Book of Heaven is in front of him!
Thinking of this, Guo Longzhen immediately set off and quietly went to Zhang Ji's mansion.
Zhang Ji's mansion is extremely large, occupying a large area of a street in the east of Chang'an City, with the vermilion gate, the stone lion in front of the door, and a team of elite soldiers, all showing his status in Chang'an.
Guo Longzhen came to the door, reported his name, put his hands behind his back, stood in front of the door and waited for the transmission, he was domineering, his sword eyebrows were sharp, between the steps, there was a hidden majesty, the porter naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and ran back to report.
After a while, a hearty laugh came, and Zhang Ji opened the middle door and came out in person.
"It's really a distinguished guest! Please come in!" Zhang Ji laughed and welcomed Guo Longzhen in, Guo Longzhen was a first-class general in his eyes, he had been looking hard before and had not found it, but now Guo Longzhen had come to the door by himself, which made him overjoyed.
After entering the hall, Zhang Ji instructed the maid to serve the wine, and then the two of them knelt down as the guest of honor.
At this time, Zhang Xiu and Steward Zhang also got the news that Guo Longzhen came to visit, and hurried over, seeing the handsome young man kneeling in the hall, the two couldn't help but smile on their faces, "I've seen Guo Gongzi!"
Guo Longzhen smiled slightly, nodded to the two, and then turned to Zhang Ji and said, "General Zhang, I'm really sorry to take the liberty to visit this time!"
Zhang Ji waved his hand, looking very bold, "Guo Gongzi saved my wife and has a great kindness to me, why bother to see me like this, you can come to my house, it's too late for me to be happy." ”
Guo Longzhen laughed, and secretly said in his heart, Zhang Ji is a little different from Li Ji and Guo Yan and others, at least this attitude makes people have a good impression.
Zhang Xiu and Steward Zhang toasted a few glasses of wine, thanked Guo Longzhen again, and after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere was suddenly warm.
At this time, Guo Longzhen put down his wine glass, waited for Zhang Ji and the three of them to pay attention, and said: "If it is convenient to say, there is a question I want to ask the general, I don't know what the general's status is in the Xiliang army?"
Zhang Ji's face changed slightly when he heard this, he didn't know what Guo Longzhen meant by this, and said with a smile: "What's inconvenient about this, I have 15,000 soldiers and horses, not as good as Li Dao and Guo Yan! ”
"I heard that Ma Teng Han Sui's 100,000 army is coming, and Li Dao Guo Yan has already led his troops out of the city, even if he can repel Ma Teng's army, his soldiers and horses will definitely be damaged, right?" Guo Longzhen said.
Zhang Xiu on the side frowned, as if he was thoughtful, "The Qiang people of Liangzhou are extremely fierce, and their strength is not under the Xiliang cavalry, and the two traitors of Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Guo Longzhen nodded and continued: "What the young general said is right, Li Dao Guo Yan is a tiger and wolf, if his soldiers and horses are damaged, he will definitely think of annexing other people's soldiers and horses, General Zhang, you have to be careful! Your forces are only under Li Dao Guo Yan, when they return to Chang'an, I am afraid that they will be the first to be unfavorable!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Guan all changed color, they all understood the situation in the Xiliang army, and knew that what Guo Longzhen said was very likely to happen.
Zhang Ji's face turned hideous when he heard this, "Li Ji deceived people too much, he sent the Flying Bear Army to rob my wife a few days ago, and I knew at that time that he had bad intentions, but he just thought about being an official in the same dynasty and didn't have a seizure, if he dared to make a move, I would definitely not let him go!"
However, the two first-class generals Li Dao and Guo Yan are not so easy to deal with, and only when the handsome young man in front of him makes a move, he has the courage to resist.
"Li Ji Guo Yan is in charge of the government, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, and I also ask Gongzi to help me eradicate these two traitors!" Zhang Ji stood up, bowed deeply to Guo Longzhen, and said sincerely.
Guo Longzhen hurriedly got up, stopped Zhang Ji from bowing, and said with a smile: "General Zhang doesn't need to be polite, Li Dao and Guo Yan are in trouble, and I already have the intention of eradicating the two of them!"
Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, "With the help of the son, Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely be able to confer the head!"
However, he then thought that Li Dao and Guo Yan each had 50,000 troops, adding up to 100,000 soldiers and horses, even after fighting with Ma Teng, the soldiers and horses were damaged, and the power was far beyond himself, and it was difficult to kill the two.
"Li Ji has a lot of soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to deal with, I don't know what strategy Gongzi has?" asked Zhang Ji.
Guo Longzhen smiled slightly, his demeanor was calm, as if he didn't take Li Dao's 100,000 soldiers and horses to heart, "Although they have a lot of soldiers and horses, they have already left Chang'an, and now in the city, the general has the most soldiers and horses, so it is better for the general to strike first, kill Li Meng and Wang Fang, take Chang'an City, and cut off Li Dao Guo Yan's back road!"
"After repelling Ma Teng, without the grain and grass of Chang'an, Li Dao Guo Yan's 100,000 army is rootless duckweed, and it will be crushed in one blow!"
Guo Longzhen quietly hid a key, that is, Li Dao and Guo Yan had just left Chang'an and had not gone far, if the time to launch was early, the two of them got the news, it was very likely that they would turn back the army, and Zhang Ji would probably not be able to withstand the siege of the 100,000 army.
However, Zhang Ji didn't think deeply at this time, and after hearing Guo Longzhen's words, he immediately took the case and made up his mind, "Gongzi's words are reasonable, I will dispatch troops and horses, and clean up Li Meng's royal side first!" (To be continued.) )
