Chapter 112 Punch a wedge
Fifty kilometers, the army walked all night, and arrived at Jingmen City at exactly four o'clock in the morning. The army rested for a while, ate some dry food, and replenished some water, so they launched an attack on the capital gate. At the beginning, the army advanced smoothly, and Lai Shiqian even boasted that he would take Jingmen City before dark. But as the process deepened, the army moved forward more and more slowly, until it took two steps back, and the two of them went to the front of the battle to take a look, only to find that there was something greasy in it.
The opposing army is constantly being reinforced, at least for now, there is a balance of power between the two sides. Where did Sha Dabao come from, before coming, Lai Shiqian and Koji had fully estimated the strength and equipment of the other party, and the number of their troops was only 40,000 at most, and most of the rifles used were eliminated by Lai Shiqian, so the advantage was on their side, but now it seems that it is not what they think. Lai Shiqian and Hao Er were a little shocked, could it be that this Sha Dabao is really strong and strong, can he compete with one of them? It's really a matter of three days when Shibei was impressed, Lai Shiqian and Hao Er's hearts were full of total.
However, the two people did not flinch, this war is related to the future battle of the two people, if they win, then the two people still have hope, if they can't win, it will be difficult for the two people to make a comeback, or be swallowed up by others. The ending is that the two of them have already calculated, so both of them spare no effort. "Brothers, if we win the battle and eat meat, if we lose the fight, we will eat, if you want to eat, you will retreat, Lao Tzu will come; If you want to eat meat, give it to me. Lai Shiqian's words instantly stirred up everyone's momentum, and the current situation is indeed like this, winning is infinitely beautiful, and losing is all lost.
So, the soldiers rushed forward with their lives, and for a time the guns and cannons rang out, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Lai Shiqian and Haoer went into battle in person, which stimulated the fighting spirit of the soldiers, fighting is like this, Leng is afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of not dying, Lai Shiqian and Haoer's soldiers are simply playing with their lives, and the troops of Sha Dabao and Zhang Erfa are a little afraid. So on the battlefield, you fight for me, you advance and I retreat, and a tug-of-war is formed for a while. The two sides fought for three days and three nights, and did not give in to each other. Soldiers on both sides were also killed and wounded.
At this time, the special envoy of the president came, obviously fearing that his younger brother would suffer, so he came to mediate. The envoy's name is Wu Qian, and this name is also suitable for the current situation, so don't move forward.
Wu Qian issued an armistice document to both warring parties, saying that Huaguo had been in war for a long time, and the people were struggling to make a living, and hoped that the warring parties would sympathize with the suffering of the people, shake hands and make peace, and return the world to Yongchang, etc., Lai Shiqian handed it to Haoer after reading it, and Haoji tore it to shreds after reading it. Fuck sooner or later, when my victory is in sight, others will come, isn't this obviously biased? However, Koji still agreed, and he promised a two-day truce and then discussed. The reason why Koji agreed to a temporary ceasefire was that he wanted to transfer another 10,000 of his troops, and then replenish the provisions.
However, it was the two-day truce that gave Sha Dabao a good opportunity to turn things around.
Sha Dabao and Zhang Dujun have some relatives, and he wants to let Xiaotian help through this relationship. So Sha Dabao came to the White Emperor City with a generous gift, and Qin Ziyu heard that this person was looking for a master, and he was still alone, so he sent a squad of soldiers to supervise and came to Xijing. Seeing Xiaotian and Sha Dabao, he hurriedly gave a generous gift and introduced his relationship with Zhang Dujun. When Xiaotian heard this, the relatives of the relatives were still relatives, and they promised to send reinforcements on the spot.
In fact, Sha Dabao didn't know that Xiaotian wanted to drive a wedge at this moment, in order to prepare for future needs. Xiaotian asked Qin Ziyu to lead most of the Fourth Army, and it was expected that 50,000 troops would go to reinforcements, but Xiaotian had a request, and all the troops changed into the uniforms of Sha Dabao's troops. As soon as Sha Dabao heard the music, he immediately agreed to change his clothes, and then left Xijing with a thousand thanks.
Qin Ziyu took advantage of the night to sneak into the vicinity of Tokyo with his troops, and the Beijing division now only had 10,000 defenders. After that, he went to Beijing Gate without stopping. So far, the front and rear attacks on Lai Shiqian and Hao Er's army have been completed.
Lai Shiqian and Hao Er saw that the situation was out of control, and they were afraid that there would be no bones left if they continued to fight, so they absconded while it was dark. The rest of the army was wrapped in dumplings, Qin Ziyu didn't want spoils, just a piece of territory, and it was good to be able to cultivate and recuperate, because he was in the belly of the enemy, and if he was not careful, he would become the target of public criticism, so Qin Ziyu and Sha Dabao discussed and decided to give Jingmen City to Qin Ziyu to garrison. Sha Dabao's army was all moved to Tokyo. Of course, Zhang Erfa also gained a lot of benefits, the captured firearms were divided in half, and even the prisoners who surrendered were also half of the family.
In this way, Qin Ziyu gained a foothold in Huaguo. And Sha Dabao has also grown a lot.
When Xiaotian heard the news, he was also happy for Qin Ziyu. Because Qin Ziyu has greatly improved in strategy and tactics.
Next, Xiaotian went to a secret realm and brought Hu Badao, more than 2,000 wind family members, and more than 1,000 wind and thunder people to Xijing. Xiaotian placed them in the barracks, because these people had a very high level of cultivation, and they were quickly reused, except for a small number of battalion and company positions, most of the rest were above the regimental level, and they became the backbone of Xiaotian in the near future. And Hu Badao became the chief of staff of the Hu Ninth Army.
On this day, Xiaotian was playing with the child, and Zheng Tianyang brought news that the king of Xidan had been kidnapped, and Zheng Tianyang wanted to take someone to investigate. Xiaotian remembered that the king of Xidan was Zheng Tianyang's father-in-law, Xiaotian laughed, then go, bring more people.
Zheng Tianyang selected nearly 500 people to go to Xidan by boat. Xidan is an archipelago country, with nearly 100 islands of all sizes, and the capital of Xidan is located on Shengquan Island. There is a spring here, sweet and sweet, which never dries up, and provides an abundance of fresh water for the people of the island, which is regarded as a sacred spring. After the establishment of Xidan State, Shengquan Island was established and became the capital of Xidan State.
Xidan is a small country on the surface, but it is rich in resources, especially gold and silver deposits, so it has also attracted the coveted of many countries.
Zheng Tianyang drove the boat to Shengquan Island, the capital of Xidan on the same day. Prime Minister Fu'an received him, the prime minister was medium-to-low, he was a delicate person, as soon as Zheng Tianyang went to the island, Fu'an knew the information and immediately came out to greet him. "The horse is coming, Fu has not been able to welcome him, please forgive me!"
Zheng Tianyang did not greet him too much, but asked about the disappearance of Emperor Xidan.
Fu'an, the situation before and after the emperor's disappearance was introduced.
"Who delivered the news about the emperor's kidnapping?" Zheng Tianyang asked Fu'an.
Fu'an replied, "It's me." ”
"How do you tell if the Emperor has been kidnapped?" Zheng Tianyang asked again.
Fu'an hesitated slightly, and said: "The emperor has not been to the court for three days, I wrote a book, hoping that the emperor will approve it as soon as possible, because the matter is urgent, so I sent someone to find it, and it turned out that the emperor was not in the palace." ”
Zheng Tianyang was a little puzzled, was it too hasty to conclude that the emperor was kidnapped instead of killed or out of the house just because the emperor was not in the palace?
"Who to send to the Emperor? Can you get him? I have something to know. ”
After a while, Fu'an brought a person, this person was called Fuping, who was on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zheng Tianyang didn't ask Fuping directly, but looked at him for a long time before asking, "What day did you go to the palace?" Who found out that the emperor had been kidnapped? ”
"I went to the palace three days ago, and it was Xiao Anzi, the chief eunuch, who told me at that time." After Fuping finished speaking, Zheng Tianyang waved his hand to let this person out.
Zheng Tianyang pondered in his heart that the emperor had not been to the court for three days, and it should be the fourth day after he was found to have been kidnapped, if Fu'an immediately delivered the news to him, it would take at least one day to reach the southern capital, and Zheng Tianyang had nearly a day from the southern capital to Shengquan Island, and it had been at least five days since the emperor was found missing, and Xiao Anzi said that he went to the palace three days ago, so the difference between the two people's statements in time is more than two days, is it possible that which of these two people has amnesia?
Zheng Tianyang didn't speak for a long time, silently analyzing the relationship between the two three days in his heart. It took a long time for Zheng Tianyang to say to Fu'an: "Take me to the palace." ”
Fu'an led the way in front and soon arrived at the palace. The palace is very magnificent, the walls of the palace are decorated with golden wallpaper, and the pillars in the middle are made of gold, and the whole palace looks magnificent. Fu'an found Xiao Anzi, who was fighting the landlord in the corner.
Xiao Anzi appeared listlessly in front of Zheng Tianyang, Zheng Tianyang thought to himself, didn't this guy lose money fighting the landlord? So he asked Xiao Anzi, "How did you find out that the emperor was kidnapped?" ”
However, Xiao Anzi asked Zheng Tianyang with a vigilant face, "Who are you?" Fu'an hurriedly stepped forward, "This is to be a horse, and you don't want to salute the horse?" Xiao Anzi hadn't seen Zheng Tianyang, and thought to himself that this person was the one who kissed him? How many years has Xiao Anzi been a eunuch, except for kneeling for his master, no one else has really knelt. So he came over to play haha, saying that his legs were old cold legs and he couldn't kneel.
To kneel or not to kneel? Zheng Tianyang didn't care, but what he cared about was this person's attitude. So he shouted, "Xiao Anzi, don't you still salute when you see General Ben?" When Xiao Anzi heard that this person was actually a general, he hurriedly bowed his waist and saluted, "The slave is clumsy, he treats the general slowly, and he hopes to forgive his sins!" May I ask what the general is looking for minions? ”
Zheng Tianyang looked at Xiao Anzi and felt sour in his heart, and when he saw that this person was a natural slave. You tell me all the circumstances of the Emperor's disappearance. So Xiao Anzi reported what happened at that time one by one. Xiao Anzi said that three days ago in the morning, he went to the emperor's room to ask for peace, and found that the emperor was missing, so he hurriedly reported to the prime minister. Zheng Tianyang was immediately furious, "Okay, you little Anzi, let's talk about it after you think clearly!" Xiao Anzi didn't know how Zheng Tianyang was angry, he thought about it seriously, "No problem, that's it." Xiao Anzi replied in the affirmative.
