Chapter 96: The Prime Minister's Counterattack
After separating from Lin Feng, Shen Lingxi rushed back to the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Back at the Pingbei General's Mansion, Shen Lingxi told the housekeeper Tuoba Hao the news of the alliance with Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
Tuoba Hao couldn't believe Shen Lingxi's words, but he didn't expect that he was just testing Shen Lingxi, and he really reached an alliance with Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry.
In this way, the Pingbei General Mansion and the Ministry of Servants and the Mansion of the Ministry of Officials will ally deal with Prime Minister Li Cheng, and Prime Minister Li Cheng will basically not be an opponent here.
After all, Prime Minister Li Cheng only has 30,000 forbidden troops in his hands, and in the entire Jianye City, the city gates that Prime Minister Li Cheng can control are only three city gates in the southeast, north and south, and the guards of the last west city gate are in the hands of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry.
Therefore, as long as the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun leads the army back to Jianye City smoothly, he is not afraid that he will not be able to enter the city gate at that time.
When the time comes, the army will drive straight in, and the throne of Xuanwu State will not be within reach.
"The young general is really too unexpected, so our Pingbei General's Mansion is more sure of its plans. It's really good, you can quickly tell this good news to General Pingbei. In this way, the army has no worries and can rush back day and night. ”
The housekeeper Tuoba Hao was very excited, feeling that the throne was already the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Shen Lingxi saw that the housekeeper was dancing happily, and felt a little funny.
"Butler, although we have formed an alliance with Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, in this matter. But if the father-in-law waved his troops here and directly entered Jianye City, I am afraid that Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, would react immediately. Therefore, we must be cautious in our actions, so as not to be suspicious of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry. ”
Shen Lingxi didn't want his carefully arranged things to be ruined by this housekeeper Tuoba Hao, so he had to remind him.
"However, we still need to send someone to inform my father-in-law and ask him to rush back to Jianye City as soon as possible. lest Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, see that there is something wrong, and if he repents, it will be difficult for us to come to the door again to persuade him. ”
The housekeeper Tuoba Hao had to nod again and again in response to Shen Lingxi's words.
"The lowly will definitely send a reliable person to inform the general. This major general can rest assured. ”
Shen Lingxi saw that he had almost given instructions to the housekeeper, so he stopped nagging, but went back to the room to rest.
The housekeeper saw Shen Lingxi go back to the room, and then he summoned the two henchmen and ordered the general of Pingbei to lead the army back to Jianye as soon as possible.
"You must tell General Pingbei in person, don't be careless, this matter is related to the survival of our Pingbei General Mansion. ”
"Don't worry, the housekeeper will personally bring the words to General Pingbei. ”
sent two henchmen to inform the general of Pingbei to come back as soon as possible, and the housekeeper Tuoba Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
After receiving someone from the housekeeper Tuoba Hao to explain the situation, Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, immediately led 50,000 vanguard troops to rush towards Jianye.
"I didn't expect Long'er to be so efficient, he really deserves to be my righteous son of Tuoba Jun. was able to pull Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, to the side of General Ben. In this way, the opponent is only the old puppet Prime Minister Li Cheng. Haha......"
Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, was in a good mood, but he didn't expect Shen Lingxi to give him such great news again.
Feeling that the throne is about to arrive, Tuoba Jun's mood is called comfortable.
Sitting on a horse and running wildly, Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, felt that if he became the emperor, then the status of Shen Lingxi, the righteous son, must be improved.
After all, judging from Shen Lingxi's performance in Jianye, in fact, Shen Lingxi's ability as a righteous son is very strong, whether it is in the governance of the city or business, he is a rare talent.
Especially when Shen Lingxi was sent back to Jianye this time, he didn't expect Shen Lingxi to give him so many gifts in a short period of time.
First of all, he got the will from the emperor to withdraw his troops back to Jianye City, so that he could have the opportunity to bring the army back to Jianye in the name of justice, and also have the opportunity to usurp the throne.
The second thing that surprised Tuoba Jun was that Shen Lingxi actually went to the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and successfully pulled Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, into his camp.
So in Jianye City, the only one who can threaten his own seizure of the throne is Prime Minister Li Cheng.
And Prime Minister Li Cheng only had 30,000 forbidden soldiers in his hands, but he returned to Jianye this time with at least 50,000 vanguard troops, plus 30,000 troops in the follow-up.
This total of 80,000 people returned to Jianye, and it was not something that Prime Minister Li Cheng's 30,000 forbidden troops could contend with.
Therefore, Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, was full of confidence this time, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Jianye City immediately.
After all, the throne is too tempting, and for Tuoba Jun, a general of Pingbei who has always been very ambitious, this opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The team behind hurriedly followed and set off towards Jianye City. Don't you want to go back to your hometown as soon as possible?"
Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, ran wildly while waving his horsewhip and urging his soldiers and officers to hurry up and follow.
Because he couldn't wait, Tuoba Jun didn't want to wait for a moment, he wanted to sit on the throne of the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom as soon as possible.
Just when the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun rushed back to Jianye City day and night, Li Cheng, the prime minister of Jianye City, also heard the news that Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, met with the young general of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Although Prime Minister Li Cheng didn't know that Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, had allied with Shen Lingxi, he could know from the proud performance of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, that Luo Luxing, must have received a lot of benefits from the Yuwenlong of the Pingbei General's Mansion.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Luxing, a servant of the ministry who attaches great importance to his interests, to be so excited and happy every day.
Sensing that the situation was wrong, Prime Minister Li Cheng was no longer in the mood to stay in the mansion, so he called a few henchmen to inspect the forbidden army.
In the view of Prime Minister Li Cheng, what Pingbei General Tuoba Jun can rely on is the army in his hands, as long as the forbidden army can hold the entire Jianye City, even if Pingbei General Tuoba Jun leads 100,000 troops back, this Jianye City may not be able to be broken by Pingbei General Tuoba Jun.
In order not to be defeated by Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, the two of them should work together to break through Jianye City.
Prime Minister Li Cheng felt that the time had come to strike first.
After all, he has 30,000 forbidden soldiers in his hands, and he is now the largest military force in the entire Jianye City, and although Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, has 20,000 forbidden troops, but for so many years, the queen's faction has been greedy for pleasure, and the forbidden soldiers have not asked much here.
Prime Minister Li Cheng felt that his 30,000 forbidden soldiers were the elite of the forbidden soldiers in Jianye City, while the 20,000 forbidden soldiers of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, could not compete with his own army soldiers at all.
Therefore, Prime Minister Li Cheng planned to take a risk, and this was also forced out by Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei.
Standing in the camp of the forbidden army, Prime Minister Li Cheng called Zhang Hua, the general of the forbidden army, in.
"General Zhang Hua, is there any new movement in Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. ”
Prime Minister Li Cheng meant to see if there was any transfer of the forbidden army under his control recently.
Of course, Zhang Hua knew what Prime Minister Li Cheng meant, so he hurriedly replied: "Report to Prime Minister, the forbidden army controlled by Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has not been transferred there, and they still train at the station every day, so it can be said that they eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and I see that their training is also pretentious." ”
Zhang Hua had already sent an eyeliner to monitor the 20,000 forbidden soldiers, after all, although everyone was a forbidden army, they each had their own masters, so they had to resist each other.
Prime Minister Li Cheng heard Zhang Hua say this, and the big stone in his heart relaxed.
"Let them keep an eye on them, and if they make any disturbances, they will immediately report to me. ”
After staying in the camp of the forbidden army for a day, Prime Minister Li Cheng finally gave the order to attack the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
Because Prime Minister Li Cheng observed for a day and did not find any changes in the garrison of the 20,000 forbidden army soldiers opposite, he knew that Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, was not prepared at all.
From the situation of the 20,000 forbidden troops on the opposite side, it can be known that Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, did not suspect himself at all, so if he suddenly launched an attack on the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry.
Prime Minister Li Cheng felt that this official servant Luo Luxing would definitely not have any time to react, so that he could break through the mansion of the official servant Luo Luxing at the lowest cost, and even arrest the servant Luo Luxing.
Prime Minister Li Cheng thought about these things and immediately took action, he didn't want to wait until the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun came back with the army, at this time he would not have any advantage, and even be very passive.
Therefore, Prime Minister Li Cheng has to strike first now, he plans to launch an attack on the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, tonight, capture Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and force him to hand over the control of the 20,000 forbidden army.
In this way, Prime Minister Li Cheng has 50,000 forbidden soldiers in his hands, and the important thing is that the gates of the entire Jianye City will be under his control.
Even if the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun could lead an army of 100,000 to return to Jianye, it would be impossible to easily break through the gates of Jianye City.
After all, Jianye City is the capital of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and it is the strongest city in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Jianye City, whether he Tuoba Jun can come in or not, is it a matter of two words.
Prime Minister Li Cheng, who was unwilling to sit still, said to General Zhang Hua in the camp of the forbidden army: "General Zhang Hua, you will lead 5,000 soldiers of the forbidden army out of the camp tonight. I will meet you at the south gate of Jianye City, and when the time comes, you will lead your men to surround the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. ”
Zhang Hua listened to Prime Minister Li Cheng's instructions to surround the mansion of Luo Lu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, late at night, and was so frightened that the knife in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Does the prime minister mean that we are going to turn against Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, but after all, he has 20,000 forbidden soldiers in his hands, and if he jumps over the wall in a hurry, then there will be a tragedy of the forbidden army killing each other in Jianye City. ”
Zhang Hua couldn't believe his ears, and felt that Prime Minister Li Cheng's order was really crazy.
Prime Minister Li Cheng also knew that this Zhang Hua was not a good material to be a general, but there was no way, only this person was the most loyal to himself in the forbidden army, so he had to explain patiently.
"General Zhang Hua, don't worry, as long as we do it fast and concealed enough, I believe that Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, will not have time to react at all. So don't worry about the 20,000 forbidden soldiers, just concentrate on dealing with this servant Luo Luxing. ”
Zhang Hua was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Prime Minister Li Cheng's displeasure, he didn't continue to ask.
"Well, since the Prime Minister has already thought about it, there is nothing to say. Tonight, I will take people to surround the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. ”
Zhang Hua wanted to retreat, but some doubts arose in his heart.
"Prime Minister, I just don't know what we should do next if we surround the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials?"
Prime Minister Li Cheng feels that this Zhang Hua is really too timid, if he can successfully surround the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, then do you still have to say the next thing, it must be to arrest Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials!
Of course, Prime Minister Li Cheng felt that if Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, refused to surrender obediently and handed over the command of the 20,000 forbidden soldiers, he would not mind directly killing Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry.
When the time comes, it is a big deal to take the head of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, go to the camp of the 20,000 forbidden soldiers, and then ask Zhang Hua to transfer the 30,000 forbidden troops, and I don't believe that the 20,000 forbidden soldiers will not surrender to their side.
"General Zhang Hua, you will lead the soldiers to surround the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, tonight. When the time comes, the prime minister will arrive, and how to do it will give you instructions when he arrives. ”
Yu Zhanghua explained everything, and Prime Minister Li Chengcheng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Li Cheng returned to the mansion and bathed and rested, and he wanted to save his spirit for the decisive moment of tonight.
Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, was still in the mansion at the moment watching the little concubine dancing, he knew that the Pingbei General Mansion had formed an alliance with him, and he felt that when the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun returned to Jianye, it was when Prime Minister Li Cheng fell, and he could also sit on the throne of the prime minister.
Therefore, Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, was also very happy at the moment, but he never dreamed that his catastrophe was about to come.
It's not that Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is too arrogant, mainly because he also has 20,000 forbidden soldiers in this Jianye City, so after a long time, he feels that no one dares to touch him in this Jianye City.
This kind of inertial thinking made Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, relax his vigilance, but what he never imagined was that Prime Minister Li Chengcheng was so bold and dared to attack himself at the risk of the soldiers of the forbidden army killing each other.
And Zhang Hua, the general of the forbidden army, is ready to attack the mansion of Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, tonight.
