Chapter 55: The War (1)
The Praetorian Guards traveled far and wide, and they were a little tired. Murong Shen ordered the Praetorian Guards to camp and settle down in place for a few days.
Li Ji has already led his troops to surround Qinglong Village, and the bandits are like meat in an iron pot, and there is nowhere to escape.
The next day, Murong Shen and Li Ji inspected the military camp together.
Murong Shen glanced at Li Ji meaningfully: "The imperial court has repeatedly sent troops to suppress bandits, but they have not been able to find the nest of Qinglong Village. General Li has made a great contribution this time. ”
Li Ji's heart froze, he didn't hesitate, and immediately said in a low voice: "Actually, this time I was able to successfully find Qinglongzhai thanks to a letter. ”
Then he told the story of the strange letter: "...... I'm not afraid of Captain Murong's jokes, but I haven't been able to find out the origin of this letter so far. Kou Shao, I asked again and again, but I couldn't ask anything. The person who delivered the letter was disguised and disguised, and his origin is a mystery. ”
"I don't know whether the map drawn in the letter is true or not, so I deliberately sent dozens of people into the mountain to search for the whereabouts of Qinglong Village according to the location of the map."
"Fortunately, the map is real, and the location of Qinglong Village has indeed been found. The imperial court happened to send an official document, and I led the troops to directly surround Qinglong Village. ”
Murong Shen's eyes flashed and flashed, and he asked for the letter straightforwardly: "Where is that letter?" ”
Li Ji said in a low voice: "In the military tent, I will let people take it." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xiao behind him.
Li Xiao was used to being sent by his brother, so he quickly went to get the letter. Murong Shen took the letter, and without reading it, he stuffed it into his sleeve.
Li Ji: "......"
This Murong Gongzi is really domineering and almost arrogant.
A little spark appeared in Li Xiao's eyes.
Li Ji's gaze swept over, and Li Xiao reluctantly lowered his head.
Murong Shen didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two Li Ji brothers at all.
In the previous life, after Zhou Sui occupied Beihai County, his troops reached as many as 30,000. The people of the Great Jin Dynasty were everywhere, and the imperial court was unable to send troops, so an official document ordered Li Ji to send troops. Li Ji was short of troops and finally died tragically at the hands of Zhou Sui.
Li Ji died too early, and in Murong Shen's impression, this is an insignificant person who has nothing to do with the overall situation. Therefore, he did not take Li Ji in his eyes.
After inspecting the barracks, Murong Shen entered his military tent and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat. Then he took out the letter in his sleeve.
Unfolding the thin letter paper, the map of Qinglong Village was printed in his eyes.
The person who drew the map was obviously a good hand. A few strokes, concise and expressive. In addition to the map, there are only three words of Qinglongzhai.
This handwriting is very unfamiliar.
His intuition told him that this must be from Zhao Xiyan's handwriting.
Except for Zhao Xiyan, who else knows the true location of Qinglongzhai so well, and who hates Zhou Sui so much?
"Xiyan," Murong Shen whispered to himself, "I will definitely avenge you." ”
"Xu Jing is just a straw bale, not worthy of you at all. The two of us are a natural pair. You're now bewitched by the affection of your youth. Someday, you'll know that. ”
"When I kill Zhou Sui in addition to Qinglong Village, I will go to Zhaojiafang to propose marriage."
"In this life, you don't have to be subservient to others and be a concubine. In this life, I want you to be my queen. ”
……
Three days later, the Jiaodong Army and the Praetorian Guard Army were dispatched together to attack Qinglongzhai.
Li Ji was informed and interested, and automatically backed down. Murong Shen did not give in and gave a military order to the Jiaodong Army, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Li Xiao held back his sullen stomach, led a battalion of soldiers to rush outside the stockade, and raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, release arrows!" ”
The bandits talk about the individual, one race and the other is murderous. When it comes to fighting a war, it is not an opponent of the regular army of the imperial court at all.
Li Xiao is very confident that he will be able to capture the Zhaimen in less than half a day.
Li Xiao, who was full of confidence, was slapped in the face.
Half a day later, not only did they fail to capture the walled gate, but they also suffered heavy casualties and retreated to the barracks in disgrace. One of his left arms was also wounded, and half of his shirt was stained red with blood.
Li Ji was shocked and immediately ordered the military doctor to treat Li Xiao's injuries.
Li Xiao endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Big brother, it is not the bandits who are guarding the gate of the village, it is Wang Tong. ”
Li Ji was shocked again: "Wang Tong is not dead yet?" ”
Murong Shen, who came in a hurry, had a particularly gloomy face: "Wang Tong voted for bandits? ”
Li Xiao hated so much that his eyes were almost red: "Yes." I didn't know it at first, but then the soldiers couldn't attack for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, so I felt that something was wrong. ”
The ground is full of thistles, rolling stones, hot oil, and a hidden and tortuous road has been built in front of the wall...... When will bandits also use this means of defending the city?
It wasn't until a tall man appeared on the tower in front of the walled gate that Li Xiao understood. The person who led a group of bandits to guard the gate of the village was Wang Tong.
"Wang Tong is a person who has no ambition in his career, but he is actually quite capable." Li Ji's expression became solemn: "He voted for bandits, but it was a trouble." ”
Qinglong Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it occupies a favorable position in a high position. With generals like Wang Tong who are proficient in defending the city, it will not be easy to break through in a short period of time.
Murong Shen snorted coldly when he heard Wang Tong's name.
In his previous life, Wang Tong voted for bandits, but it didn't end well. During the battle with the Jiaodong Army, he died at the hands of the Li Ji brothers.
Now that I think about it, the world is wonderful. The Li Ji brothers faced Wang Tong again.
"Tomorrow, I will personally lead people to attack the gate of the village." Murong Shen coldly threw down a sentence and left.
Li Xiao didn't know whether it was pain or annoyance, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Hmph! I want to see how capable Murong Gongzi is. ”
Li Ji furrowed his brows and glared: "Take care of your injuries and don't talk nonsense." ”
……
Beihai Palace.
The King of the North Sea lay on the bed with a depressed expression, looking sick and weak with a short life.
The two imperial doctors took turns to diagnose the pulse of the King of Beihai as usual, each comforted the King of Beihai a few words, turned around and retreated, and reported to Ma Sansi: "Qi Gonggong Ma, the prince's pulse is weak, and it has not improved. ”
"Such a strange disease is unheard of, and the two of us are really not sure that we can cure the prince."
Rubbish!
Ma Sansi snorted coldly in his heart, and his face was not revealing at all: "The two doctors have worked hard. ”
"Our family came to deliver the decree on the order of the prince, but the prince is not well and can't set off. Our family can't make a difference, and the two imperial doctors are the same. ”
"Please also ask the two imperial doctors to prescribe at their discretion."
The two unlucky imperial doctors had to nod their heads and get together to rack their brains to prescribe medicine.
Ma Sansi settled down, put up a smile and entered the Beihai King's bedroom: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the two imperial doctors said that the prince's body is getting better every day." Change the prescription again, and you'll be able to stay. ”
The King of the North Sea was powerless to speak.
Xu Jing, the prince of the King of Beihai on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Ten days ago, Grandpa Ma said so. This has been changed three times, and my father's illness has not only not eased, but has become more and more serious. ”
"Father-in-law Ma shouldn't have privately instructed the imperial doctor, so he did it!"
