Chapter 461: Secret Letter
According to Li Shimin's secret letter, Yang Guang left Luoyang the day after defeating the Tang army.
Count the days, just these days, and the Sui army that paid the levy will come back.
This is obviously not a good thing for Su Dingfang and Li Jing, you must know that they only have 50,000 people under them after all, if Yang Guang is not there, they can also entangle with the Great Sui, in case Yang Guang comes back, then the latter's violent temper will have to send people over to meet the battle in minutes.
When the time comes, their weakness of insufficient manpower will be completely exposed.
"General Su, let's work harder and strive to attract a group of people within three days, otherwise we can't go back empty-handed, right? We won't be able to hang it on our faces. ”
How could Su Dingfang not understand this truth? He also feared that if he continued to procrastinate, he would put himself in danger.
However, the matter of rebellion is far from being so simple.
Not to mention three days, even if he gives another five or ten days, he has no bottom in his heart. After all, judging from the initial contact, these officials of the Great Sui are really stones in the pit, smelly and hard!
As for Li Jing, seeing that Su Dingfang didn't speak, he immediately wanted to speak again.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing received a superstitious letter again!
It's just that this secret letter was not sent by Li Shimin, but by Xu Maogong.
After learning the news, Li Jing took the secret letter, didn't bother to look at it, and threw it directly on the table. It was Su Dingfang, who suddenly became a little curious, carried Li Jing behind his back, and secretly tore open the secret letter and took a look.
As a result, his eyes immediately lit up: "General Li, your apprentice, it seems that you have a big opinion of Da Sui!" ”
"Really?"
Hearing this, Li Jing took the secret letter and took a look.
I saw that on the secret letter, Xu Maogong first called out to the master, and then began to vomit bitterness on him, which can be said to have exhausted the sadness he experienced after coming to the Great Sui, for example, he has never been taken seriously, for example, he is deeply questioned by those officials in the DPRK and China.
Just through the words on the secret letter, it can be seen that Xu Maogong hated these things to the core, and he also regretted that he should not have come to Jiangdu with Wagangzhai in the first place.
As for Su Dingfang, he laughed and said: "General Li, it seems that your apprentice still has a deep affection for you, and still regards you as an elder, otherwise as his identity as a great Sui national teacher, he would definitely not say this." ”
Li Jing didn't speak, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
If Su Dingfang can judge it, he can naturally judge it too. However, he had some doubts in his heart: "The first secret letter he gave me last time didn't say this, so why did he send a second secret letter over?" ”
Su Dingfang analyzed: "The first time he invited you to meet him, did he want to take this opportunity to tell you this in person?" Therefore, after you explicitly refuse, he can only complain to you in this way. ”
"Well, there's a possibility."
Li Jing held the secret letter and said thoughtfully: "Then according to your meaning, what should we do with Xu Maogong?" ”
"What else is there to consider, just through this secret letter, it can be seen that Xu Maogong is our breakthrough, if we can turn the national teacher of the Great Sui into action, then why can't we rebel against other officials?"
Su Dingfang said a little excitedly: "Besides, Xu Maogong's prestige in Wagangzhai is not low, I heard that there are many people who are even more obedient to him, under his example, not to mention that all Wagangzhai will be brought over, at least it can become six or seven percent, right?" ”
Hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but feel excited.
He hadn't been in contact with this disciple for many years, but it was undeniable that he did have great energy in the Great Sui at this moment, and it was worth making good use of it.
Of course, just relying on such a secret letter, it is impossible for Li Jing to sneak directly into Jiangdu in person.
As the commander-in-chief, it is impossible for him to leave the barracks easily.
So, Li Jing immediately replied to Xu Maogong with a secret letter in the tone of his master, and then found a soldier, asked him to disguise himself and blend into Jiangdu, and delivered the secret letter to Xu Maogong.
Two hours later, the National Teacher's Mansion.
In the mansion, Xu Maocheng sat in the study and read, but from time to time his eyes would glance at the eaves outside the window.
Although there was nothing to be found in his sight, Xu Maogong was still depressed.
He knew that in his National Teacher's Mansion, there was a brocade guard. It was precisely because of the presence of this brocade guard that Xu Maogong felt uncomfortable no matter what he did, as if when he was bathing, there was a pair of eyes staring directly at him......
And the most embarrassing thing is that he can't protest yet.
After all, this was sent by Yang Guang personally, and he greeted him before he was sent.
"Forget it, there will be a day when things will be done, and patience will pass......" Xu Maogong comforted himself silently.
And just as he was muttering, outside the study, a housekeeper came to report.
"Master, someone came from outside, saying that it was sent by your master and wanted to see you." The butler said softly.
Xu Maogong's heart moved, and he said slowly: "Do you know what happened when he saw me?" ”
The housekeeper said: "I don't know about this, but I see that he is holding a secret letter in his hand, which should be sent to you, master." ”
"Oh." Xu Maogong nodded, and secretly sighed in his heart, His Majesty is really like a god.
According to common sense, Li Jing would not take the initiative to contact him. On the contrary, as soon as his secret letter was delivered, he really couldn't sit still.
It's just that, even so, there is no superfluous expression on his face, and it looks very bland: "If you go and tell that person, just say that I have something to do and don't have time to see him." ”
The butler hesitated: "What if he gives me the secret letter?" Do you want to take it and pass it on to you? ”
"Then you just tore up the secret letter and said that this is what I meant." When Xu Maogong heard this, he immediately ordered.
"Okay." The housekeeper has a strange expression, that's your master, as for being so ruthless? Even if you really don't want to see it, MeSign still has to take a look......
After he went out, Xu Maogong shouted outside: "Okay, you go back to the palace and report everything that happened to Your Majesty." ”
"Yes!"
At the same time, on the eaves of the National Teacher's Mansion, a figure quietly left.
This person is the Jinyiwei arranged here by Yang Guang.
After receiving Xu Maogong's order, he rushed back to Jiangdu Palace as soon as possible, and then came to Yang Guang and clearly described what he had seen and heard.
"Good." Hearing this, Yang Guang took a deep breath.
It seems that there is really nothing wrong with my previous analysis......
