Four hundred and eighty-nine The last hole card
Boyan arched his hand and smiled: "The military law of the Yewang camp is very strict, and it is not allowed to bring military food into the account privately. Turned around and strode away.
The green-clothed Qi Shang was amazed, and watched Boyan's back disappear into the tall gate, before boarding the car and going away. As soon as the cart drove onto the official road, there was a whip, the two horses spread their hooves, and the cart went north at a gallop.
At dusk the next day, Qiang Xing, the general of the Wangcheng guard, secretly entered the camp of Yewang with six knight guards, and showed the commanders of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the guards who were temporarily in charge of military affairs, and named the two thousand iron cavalry belonging to the general Ji Boyan to "escort and summon Mu Gong to the north to mediate the affairs of Zhurong". After inspecting the arrows, two thousand iron horsemen left the camp in the starry night and galloped north with Boyan.
At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Wei Palace, Wu Rina, the favorite concubine of the Marquis of Wei, had just attended the wedding ceremony of Wei He and the princess of Qi State, and her heart was even more depressed. When he returned to his dormitory, he saw a wild pheasant feather inserted on the dresser. The gorgeous and gorgeous tail feathers are the most famous mountain pheasant in the Northland grassland. Urina was pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately it was twilight, so she hurriedly sent a maid to inform the marquis of Wei that spring was in the beginning of spring, and she wanted to go out of the palace to hunt tomorrow.
Because of the wedding, Wei He felt guilty and had nothing to do with what Urina had invited.
In the early morning of the next day, Uzhna hurried out of the city, and in the afternoon went straight to the Fuhui Pond in the back garden of the hunting palace, and entered the thatched pavilion in the pool, and his younger brother Mangergu, dressed in white yarn, was already waiting.
"How? Did you kill it?" Before she could sit down, Uzhna's words were already urgent.
Mang'ergu's young voice was as leisurely as before: "Take a seat first. Soph, serve the wine."
The words fell, and with a beautiful response from the lotus leaf boat, a girl in white suddenly flew up to the pavilion, and there was a delicate wooden barrel and two shining bronze jukes on the stone case.
Mang Ergu waved his sleeves and said, "Come, Lanling wine, comfort my sister's heart!"
Wu Rina's heart moved, but the sister and brother still had a good heart, knowing that because of the marriage of the Marquis of Wei, she must be in a bad mood, so she raised the wine and drank it all: "Okay, the younger brother still knows the sister's heart." Just to bring the topic back.
Manggu took a sip and smiled leisurely: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my sister." The assassination of Zhaogong Hu was a failure, and only four of the one hundred and one dead escaped back, and all of them were seriously wounded, and I am afraid that they will not be used."
"Huh?" Urina only felt dizzy, and finally calmed down, and saw her brother's expression was angry: "Then you are still so relaxed? Think about what to do?"
"Sister, relax, my brother has a back hand." Mang Ergu said unhurriedly: "Summoning Gonghu to escort this trip with a thousand elite armor soldiers from Hojing, just with our hundred people, if we can't take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to hit with one blow, we will hit the stone with an egg, and it will be difficult to succeed." Therefore, my brother was prepared for defeat before he set off."
"What did you prepare?" Although they are sisters and brothers, Urina has a temperament and is a father, and she is quite impatient with her brother's mystery at a critical moment, but she is helpless.
Mang'ergu's young voice was very crisp: "Sister, don't be in a hurry, let's look at something." After speaking, she picked up an object from the tray on the stone table and handed it over, and Uzhna took it, but it was a long arrow, and the bronze arrow was engraved with the word "lone bamboo".
"Brother, what do you mean?" Uzhna was puzzled.
"When the mountain canyon was stabbed, my brother deliberately used this arrow. Does my sister know what it means?"
Urina pondered for a moment, then tapped her slender fingers on the stone case and said, "Do you want to put the pot of assassination on the head of our uncle? Bringing the waters of calamity into the lonely bamboo?"
"Exactly." Mang Ergu nodded: "If you miss a blow, Zhao Gonghu will inevitably strengthen your vigilance, I have received a report, and he transferred two thousand iron cavalry guards under Ji Boyan from the Chengzhou battalion, and there is no chance in the Central Plains." What's more, we don't have anyone in our hands anymore, so we can only use our strength to fight."
"You're trying to ...... Coerced his uncle on the charge of assassinating the Great Zhou Xiangguo? Forced him to assassinate him while he was summoning the male tiger into the palace of the Lonely Bamboo King?"
"Exactly. Zhao Gonghu is bent on investigating the matter of Kui Duoyou, and he will go to Guzhu to collect evidence. According to the etiquette of diplomatic relations, he could not bring the three thousand guards accompanying him into the palace, but there were only two or three warrior guards, and he only needed thirty or forty warriors to do it."
Uzhna couldn't stop nodding, but she still had some doubts: "But where did these thirty or forty people come from? Our uncle is timid and afraid, threatening
If you want him to assassinate him, I'm afraid he won't have the courage to do so."
"Sister forgot, we still have a fief in Guzhu, and the fiefdom veteran is the last weapon of our sister and brother." Mang'er's ancient saying is indifferent.
Although Guzhu is only a half-Rong country with the Zhou royal family, it follows the Zhou system, and the royal nobles have their own fiefs. The country of lonely bamboo is small, and the fiefs of the nobles do not exceed twenty li at most, not only have little land, but also have no governing power, but occupy a small number of symbolic taxes. In such a situation, it is naturally impossible to raise private soldiers.
All the royal nobles had was some crippled old troops that had accumulated in the long-term war. Before joining the army, these old tribes were either dependent on the children of the nobles, or the children of the commoners of their own clan, or the children of servants. They followed the old master to gallop on the battlefield for a long time, and after being disabled, they still lived with their families in the old master's fiefdom, in the homeland, and the old master depended on him for life.
Although these people are not private soldiers, and they will not form a very solid combat force, they are loyal and reliable, especially have one strength: they are all the last to fight for the rest of their lives, and they are all extremely courageous, and if they are to avenge their masters, it is not an exaggeration to say that they kill people without blinking. These dead soldiers can gather hundreds of people, and they are also an amazing force that storms the Lonely Bamboo Palace.
But Uzhina hesitated for no reason: "These people are the last hole cards left by our parents to our sisters and brothers, is it really time for the mountains and rivers to run out?"
"If my sister wants to stop, it's still too late!" Mangu said slowly.
With tears in her eyes, Uzhna looked up and shouted, "It's too late!" Let Zhao Bohu find out the truth about Kui Duoyou? At that time, if the granary fire is involved, there will be no place for him to die, how can his daughter gain a foothold in Chaoge in the future?
Mang Ergu let out a long sigh: "In this case, why should my sister hesitate, my brother will set off for the lonely bamboo shop tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, there's still something for you to take care of." Uzhina's voice was like a warbler's cry: "Although my brother's plan is thorough, there is a gap. Summoning the male tiger to bring 3,000 guards into the lonely bamboo, once the assassination in the palace is successful, how will you deal with the aftermath?"
"Once the assassination is successful, the uncle will have to get on the thief ship, and the three thousand men will be left to him to take care of." Manggu didn't think twice.
Urina shook her head lightly: "No, three thousand armor soldiers, with the combat power of the guards of the Lone Bamboo Palace, it is unknown who will win and who will lose."
