Chapter 68: Xia Gongzi Save Me!
"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”
As soon as Xia Jingyun's words fell, Jin Jiancheng directly opened his mouth categorically.
Concubine De also frowned, "Brother, this kind of thing, you can't talk nonsense." ”
Xia Jingyun was about to speak, but Jin Jiancheng continued: "I know, you want to say that our army of six thousand has been divided into five routes, and there are five thousand people who have gone out, and only one thousand people are guarding here, but the guards are empty, and it is easy to be served by a pot." But do you think I wouldn't think of it? Let me tell you, the day before yesterday, I received a request for help from the front, and I sent another 600 elites to support them! ”
Jin Jiancheng snorted coldly: "Why do I dare to do this? Because I arranged it in advance, all the teams were swept all the way, and I would rather be slow than to wipe out all the bandits along the way. Therefore, it seems that we are weak in the middle, but in fact, we are constantly expanding the defensive circle. Even if someone wants to rebel, in the absence of a large number of thieves, my 400 elites can be suppressed. Not to mention that there are local guards, what kind of rebellion does he take? ”
Xia Jingyun was also stunned by this, if it was really like what Jin Jiancheng said, then why did Zheng Yuanwang rebel?
But if so, where did the well-equipped team come from?
Jin Jiancheng looked at the dumbfounded Xia Jingyun, and suppressed his anger, "Where did you listen to the news of chasing the wind and shadows, what nonsense!" I went back to see my roast chicken. ”
Concubine De glanced at Xia Jingyun, her eyes were gentle, and she didn't complain, but excused him, "General Jin, Gao Yang is also for our safety, don't be surprised." ”
Concubine De said so, although Jin Jiancheng had a military style, it was impossible to say anything, and arched his hand, "Niangniang has to teach me a lesson." The last general will take his leave. ”
"Wait a minute!"
Xia Jingyun suddenly spoke, and Jin Jiancheng turned to look at him impatiently.
"General Jin, what if one or two of the five armies were complicit in their rebellion? Will they deliberately leave the bandits behind, or let them in? ”
Jin Jiancheng snorted, "How is it possible! What do you think of my unarmed lieutenant! Besides, the lieutenant of the army who didn't have me was the one who was able to catch up with Jianning Taishou and commanded him? ”
"Of course Jianning Taishou will not move, but what about the people in Zhongjing City?" Xia Jingyun looked at Concubine De, "Sister, there must be many people who don't want you to succeed on this trip, right?" It is said that you have been assassinated several times along the way. ”
Concubine De nodded slightly when she heard this, "General Jin, this matter is indeed very big, and it is related to the safety of a state, so you should think carefully about whether there is such a possibility." ”
Jin Jiancheng was helpless, "Niangniang, why are you coaxing." This time, there are a total of six captains, except for Li Ruhuo who stayed in Jiang'an, there are five remaining captains, Ying Haifeng, Zhang Ziyang, and Zuo Jiming are all veterans in the Wudang army, who have fought with the old army god, and there is no doubt about the loyalty of the Wudang army; Cai Youfu was originally Gongzi's personal entourage, and after Gongzi became the commander, he entered the army, can this kind of person betray the military order? Song Renxia, that's ......"
Jin Jiancheng's words suddenly paused, and his face changed suddenly.
Concubine De and Xia Jingyun both looked at him.
Jin Jiancheng swallowed his saliva and hesitated: "Song Renxia was sent to the Wudang Army by Concubine Shuniang. ”
Concubine De stood up suddenly.
Xia Jingyun's complexion also changed suddenly.
If it were someone else, neither of them would be so excited, but it was a concubine.
Everyone knows that now that the back seat is vacant, Concubine De and Concubine Shu, as the only two first-class concubines with princes, are fighting for the back position.
Because this is not only related to the position of a queen, but also more likely to be related to the ownership of the next emperor.
If you pick a person in this world who doesn't want Concubine De's trip to succeed the most, Concubine Shu will simply take it.
It is precisely because of this that this unsuccessful military captain with a concubine background has every reason to collude with careerists in Surabaya Prefecture.
Anyway, if someone comes out, as long as they do it covertly and don't raise the flag of rebellion publicly, in the end, the board will not be able to hit themselves or even Concubine Shu.
Xia Jingyun couldn't help but say: "General Jin, you know that he is the person of the concubine, why do you ......?"
Jin Jiancheng frowned a little sadly, "Childe said, no matter where you come from, when you join our army, I don't have to be a soldier, I can be entrusted with life and death, so I can believe it." ”
He looked at Xia Jingyun, "You don't want your cousin to be treated differently in the army, do you?" ”
What kind of weird thing is that kid of yours......
Xia Jingyun couldn't help but scold in his heart, and then said: "Now there are more than 1,000 laborers outside the city, after being raided and assigned to work inhumanely, they have enough strength to eat and drink, such people have hatred for the imperial court, as long as someone fanned the flames, it could be a huge civil uprising." ”
Concubine De was okay, Jin Jiancheng's face visibly collapsed.
Xia Jingyun continued: "More than 20 days ago, Shi Youfang, the former county lieutenant of Jiang'an County, was forcibly ordered to go out of the city to suppress bandits, but he was accidentally hit by a stray arrow and died on the spot. And tonight, they are the main force patrolling Jiang'an City. ”
Concubine De's face quietly became solemn.
Jin Jiancheng's throat rolled, obviously a little flustered, "Could this be just a coincidence?" ”
Xia Jingyun looked at him, "Originally, there were 1,000 people in the Wudang army, and with these thousands of elite soldiers, it should be no problem for Jiang Ancheng to hold out for ten days and half a month, but now there are only 400 people left." General Jin, dare to ask, who wants these 600 people? ”
It's Song Renxia.......
Jin Jiancheng's complexion changed suddenly, he no longer had any doubts, wiped his face, completely let go of his reserve, and arched his hand towards Xia Jingyun, "Xia Gongzi, Niangniang, save me!" ”
No matter how proud he was, he couldn't hold it back.
If the other party succeeds, even if he survives, as the person in charge of the safety and security of this trip, he will not be able to escape the life of a military law.
This is not the most terrifying, what really scares him, a hundred battle generals, is that if this battle is played by a gang of anti-thieves and destroys the prestige of the Wudang army, he will really die a hundred deaths.
Xia Jingyun held Jin Jiancheng up, "General Jin, don't panic, we are all people in the same boat now, and we are all prosperous, and we have no reason to stand by." You take a sip of tea first, calm down, let's calm down together, go through the whole thing again, and see if there is a chance to win. ”
Jin Jiancheng was a little helpless, what kind of tea are you drinking at this time.
But when he sat down and took a sip, he found that he was really calm.
Xia Jingyun said: "Sister, you can do the first thing now, and immediately send someone to find a random excuse to invite the Zheng family father and son, if they haven't had time to get out of the city, capture the thief and capture the king first, maybe they can delay the rebels' movements, if they have already run away, it also confirms our thoughts, and we must prepare immediately." ”
Concubine De nodded, and immediately ordered the people to go and arrange it.
After saying this, Xia Jingyun sat down, stretched out his hand and drew a line on the table, "According to our speculation, things may be like this." ”
"The father and son of the Zheng family may have had a long objection, and they have been secretly plotting over the years. After the matter of the sister's provincial relatives was decided, those who did not want to see the sister complete the goal of the trip and accumulate prestige and capital began to make a move and secretly contact, and then the two sides hit it off and began to plan the specific steps. ”
Concubine De nodded lightly, "According to the time set for this matter that day, the other party may have started secretly planning more than half a year ago." Hongu also thought of the danger along the way, so he refused the rest of the army, and asked for no soldiers to accompany him. ”
Jin Jiancheng was a little ashamed, "In the end, there will be a negative mother's attention." ”
Concubine De waved her hand, "General Jin doesn't need to be like this, you have worked hard all the way, there is strict military discipline along the way without being in the army, and there is no crime in the autumn, these palaces are all in their eyes, even if they are unable to return to heaven this time, this palace will never blame the general." ”
Jin Jiancheng's nose was sour in an instant, his face was moved, and he got up and hugged his fists, "Niangniang, don't worry, even if the last general is broken to pieces, he will protect his mother thoroughly, and he will not let the traitors of the rebellious ministers and thieves succeed!" ”
Xia Jingyun watched silently, and secretly praised his godsister for her skillful means of inviting people's hearts.
These words sound easy, but if you really want to be able to say them, it's not simple, you don't have any courage and knowledge, and you don't know what your last name is, where can you think of these things.
"Sister, General Kim, let's get back to the point." Xia Jingyun frowned slightly, "I have a question that I don't think too much about, when it is still stable today, if they dare to do this, they are not afraid that the imperial army will be pressed in the future, and in the end, won't it be a dead end?" ”
Concubine De sighed, told the old army god Jiang Qingxuan's previous achievements, and then said: "Now that the old army god has been in seclusion for more than ten years, he is dying, Your Majesty...... Although the Holy Ming is above, the decline of Great Xia has appeared, and all parties are already ready to move, otherwise the center would not let me go through this experience. But if the Zheng family's father and son make a fuss, I am afraid that it will be a situation where all parties in the world respond and the situation collapses in an instant. ”
Xia Jingyun suddenly realized, "This time my sister came, there is a lot of money and food, and once it is obtained by the chaotic army, it can grow rapidly." Although the Wudang army has 7,000 elites, if the Manchurian magnates are captured, the Wudang army may only be captured, and then the rebels will have thousands of elite soldiers, and even continue to blackmail the imperial court, they will really have the confidence to divide one side, claim the king and hegemony, and even look north to the Central Plains. ”
"That's right." Concubine De's expression was solemn, "So, we must stop their plot." Not only for me, but also for the world. Once the war breaks out, the people of Lebanon will suffer again. ”
Xia Jingyun nodded thoughtfully, "The first thing is to stop the other party's actions tonight." If there is no army on that road and it is unreliable, the Zheng family father and son are likely to have one or two bandits in their hands, plus more than 1,000 laborers, and there are county captains and soldiers in the city. We only have four hundred people, General Kim, and the plan will be out? ”
Jin Jiancheng furrowed his eyebrows, "More than a thousand laborers are not terrible, and even the bandits are not so terrible, because they don't have many armor, we must first watch the arsenal in the city, so that the rebellious army has a chance to get the armor weapon." ”
Xia Jingyun and Concubine De both nodded slowly, sure enough, they were professionals, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they couldn't think of it.
"Then, it's a matter of defending the city. Niangniang, when you gather the powerful in the city, calm the emotions, and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, I will send a team of fifty people to guard it. ”
Concubine De should be, "This matter will be handed over to this palace." ”
Then there was no other way, so he sent people to ask for help, and then two hundred and fifty men defended the city, and one hundred people moved, desperately carrying it, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Before the reinforcements came, if the city was not broken, it would be defeated, and if the city was broken, the battle would be defeated. ”
Jin Jiancheng's expression was also a little helpless, "Although the Wudang Army has always been famous for field battles, and it is not our forte to defend the city, please rest assured that the Wudang Army will not die, and the rebellious ministers and thieves will definitely not come to you." ”
At this point, it was only an hour or two before dark, and Concubine De couldn't say anything more, so she sighed, "There is General Laojin." ”
"Wait!"
Just when the two of them almost felt that they could only do this, Xia Jingyun suddenly spoke, "General Jin, I have an idea. ”
