Chapter 52: The Wind Rises in Zengtou City (5)
The stars changed, and the night passed quickly, and the officers and soldiers of Lingzhou and Zengtou City passed peacefully for the first day.
Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi showed no signs of sending troops, only one side of the two horses around Zengtou City to observe the terrain and arrange the troops in an orderly manner, while letting the soldiers get enough rest, waiting for the arrival of the righteous army on the Dulonggang side.
However, Zengtou City is not waiting for this, after talking to Shi Wengong yesterday, Zeng Lane determined that the reason why the Lingzhou official army did not launch an attack was to wait for the reinforcements of Dulonggang on the Yunzhou side, and his family knew his own affairs, although Zengtou City was known as more than 10,000 military horses, but only the one or two thousand henchmen who could really be used were of great use, and it could be seen from Shi Wengong's attitude that if the identity of the Zeng family aliens was exposed, then the Han people in those villages would be very few of them.
Zeng Lane thought that Yunzhou was not far from Lingzhou, and if the Dulonggang reinforcements marched normally, they would arrive on a cloudy day at most, so Zengtou City must take the lead today, and first use the lives of those Han Zhuang guests to continue for some time in Zengtou City.
Only in response to that sentence, if it is not of my race, its heart will be different; This Jurchen people, no matter how kind they pretend to be on weekdays, how can they take the lives of the Han people in their eyes.
In the east of Zengtou City, there is a ruined temple, the bell rings by the wind, the temple door is three, the head ridge of the large hard mountain tube is tiled, there is an old vermilion plate on the forehead of the door, and three gray gold characters are written on it: Fahua Temple.
In the center of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the couplet entangled in cobwebs on the eaves pillar of the underworld reads: The fragrance is full of sandalwood, and the lotus flower emerges without the light of Baoluo; The east and west sides of the Garan Palace, the Patriarch Palace, the Pilu Palace, the Tianwang Palace, the Medicine Master Palace, the Niangniang Palace are lined up in turn, five step on the heavy Ang Dougong, there are three caisson wells inside, the two sides are the relief coiling dragon, and there are four big characters with bricks in the middle:
Guotai Min'an!
An ancient temple, has been aged, into the temple door, look carefully, although it is a big temple, but it is good to collapse.
At this time, in this Fahua Temple, there were more than ten monks out of thin air, these people gathered together to discuss for a long time, then looked at the two of the leaders, quickly walked out of the mountain gate of Fahua Temple, and after several tosses and turns in Zengtou City, they went towards the camp of the Lingzhou official army.
In the middle of the day, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi were talking about the next march in the tent, and they heard the corporal under his command enter the account to report, there are two monks who claim to be from the east of Zengtou City, and there are important military planes to tell each other.
Hearing this, Shan Tingjue frowned slightly, and said to Wei Dingguo: "Brother Wei, there must be a demon when things go wrong, I have only waited until this for a day, and before the two ministers have exchanged troops, someone brought this important military plane to tell each other, these two monks are afraid that they are not good." ”
"Hehe, let's be a straw bag first, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and listen to what this monk has to say." Wei Dingguo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then glanced at the soldier who was informed, and asked him to summon the monk in.
A moment later, in the tent of the Chinese army, the two monks looked at Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingqi, and bowed down to the jade pillar of the golden mountain and said: "The two little monks are the monks in the Fahua Temple in the east of this Zengtou City. Now that the two monks have heard that the heavenly army is coming, they are willing to lead the way for the two generals to eliminate the thieves of the Zeng family, and they are fortunate to be in the workshop. ”
Shan and Wei glanced at each other, and both sneered in their hearts, these two people are not only full of loopholes in their words, but they are all dressed in nondescript, although these guys have lived in the Central Plains for more than ten years, they are not educated, and only wear robes as clothes.
Shan Tingqi pretended to look at the two monks a few times, and only said to Wei Dingguo: "General Wei, don't be gullible, these two people are strange, and there must be fraud in this." ”
When the two monks heard this, they hurriedly defended: "The two little monks are monks, how can they say that they are really oppressed by the Zeng family, and now they are looking forward to the official army coming, so they are here to pay their respects, how can they earn the two generals?" Besides, the Zeng family is a Jurchen alien race, everyone can be punished, although the two monks have no ability, but they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are also willing to make a contribution, why are the two generals suspicious? ”
Wei Dingguo heard this, looked at Shan Tingqi without a trace, and hurriedly helped up the two monks with a moved face, and said with emotion: "Every time you slaughter dogs, who says that monks are not husbands, the two masters are really my great Song Liangmin, if you can destroy the Zeng family this time, Wei will report to the imperial court to repair the mountain gate for Fahua Temple and reshape the golden body of the Buddha." ”
"Amitabha, the two little monks thanked General Wei for my Buddha." The two monks were busy talking.
Shan Tingqi still pretended to frown, and said to Wei Dingguo: "General Wei thinks twice, let's wait for reinforcements to come before making a move." ”
"Hmph, General Shan Hugh wants to say again, there are two masters to lead the way, a certain take that Zeng family is like a bag to take things, but how can there be a reason to share the credit with others, Hugh is suspicious, missed a big thing, I will lead myself to go tonight." Wei Dingguo snorted coldly and said coldly to Shan Tingjue.
Hearing this, Shan Tingqi angrily patted the case and said: "Only you Wei Dingguo is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, if you fall into the ambush of those guys, don't blame someone for not saving you, this credit for sweeping Zengtou City will be my own." ”
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, Wei Dingguo didn't care about him, and only smiled and said to the two monks: "The two masters don't care about this guy, only he is such a small belly, how can you know the two masters such a righteous man, the master will go down first to have some food, and we will set off in the evening." ”
The two monks hurriedly made a return salute, and promised again and again, turned around and left the military tent, the two looked at each other, and laughed secretly in their hearts, only to feel that the great Song general, one was stupid as a pig, and the other was greedy for merit and afraid of death.
Only these two would have thought that Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo watched their clumsy performances and only treated them as monkeys.
After the two monks left, Shan Tingfu turned back to the military tent and asked Wei Dingguo, "Brother Wei, what are you going to do?" ”
Wei Dingguo pondered for a moment and said: "I was going to wait for that Taishan Jun to come, and then attack Zengtou City, but now those guys can't hold back, and they have to give the credit to the two of us, and it will be embarrassing not to accept it; According to my intentions, tonight I will bring 500 soldiers in silk clothes and another 1,000 soldiers, and follow the two monks into Zengtou City to explore the truth and reality. At that time, if the time is right, we will break this Zeng Tou Market from the inside and outside; If you can't do anything, you will accept me, and with the scarlet soldiers and Xuanjia sailors under you and me, those guys will not be able to keep us. ”
Shan Tingqi also nodded when he heard this, it was regarded as recognition, but he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, but although he had a mental calculation or not, but what would happen to the end of the matter might not be something that the two of them could control.
