Chapter 38: The Battle of Zhongli Section 3 Timing
Lu Shengzhen stood there and didn't move for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Hong saw his nest of bags, and this anger suddenly came up: "Why are you still here? Why don't you go yet?"
"Wang, Wangye, why do you have to kill Fan Jun? What does his life and death have to do with us? At the beginning, the prince cut him with a sword, but I didn't see him sue you in front of General Wei afterwards----" Lu Shengzhen really couldn't understand why this Fan Jun had to die.
"What do you know?" Xiao Hong was extremely afraid of Fan Jun at this time, he was not afraid that Fan Jun would find him trouble in the army, he was afraid that Fan Jun would return home alive and see his mother fall into his trap, and he didn't want to kill himself at that time.
At this time, he regretted a little, why did he have to listen to Mrs. Nahui's bewitchment and let Fan Yuncheng's wife embroider some dragon robe. Now that he thinks about it, what can he do if he doesn't wear that dragon robe? When the time comes, he can still snatch the country from the imperial brother. Now although he doesn't know if Fan Yuncheng knows about it, but he understands too well, once Fan Jun returns home, he will definitely know that he coerced his mother to do that kind of dirty thing, then Fan Jun is deeply favored by Wei Rui at this time, if he returns to the court with military merits and tells the matter in front of the imperial brother, he is afraid that ---- will affect his own plan.
"Then ---- then I will immediately send someone to kill him --- him. As soon as Lu Seng Zhen said this, he didn't believe his own words anymore, what ability did he have to kill that Fan Jun?
"There is one more thing, it must be handled properly!" At this time, Xiao Hong was most worried not about Fan Jun, but about the cronies he sent to Xiao Zong's camp, why he hadn't sent the information back yet.
"The last general understands, please rest assured!" Lu Sengzhen's legs and stomach trembled at this time, but he was not convinced at all, he himself didn't know how to get to Wei Rui's camp and kill that Fan Jun, this Haikou is boasting, but who did it?
Xiao Hong waved his hand and ordered him to come out of the account. He himself was like an ant on a hot pot in the tent, and now he was caught between the inside and outside, and he didn't know what to do with it. If it is his nephew Xiao Zong, he will not be able to reach the intention of sending troops, and he is afraid that he will be eaten if he fails to do anything in the future, and if Fan Jun is not removed, he is afraid that the imperial brother will leak the news and fall into passivity----
Just when he was thinking about it and being embarrassed, a person was suddenly thrown in outside the big tent, he screamed in fright, and after stabilizing his mind, he realized that the person who was thrown in was his deputy Lu Seng Zhen, and after Lu Seng Zhen was thrown in, his whole body was in pain, and he couldn't get up for a while.
At this time, a person strode in from outside the tent, it was Li Zhong, the general under Wei Rui, Li Zhong held his saber in his right hand, and sat in front of Xiao Hong with a murderous face. Xiao Hong understood that it must be his favorite general who was unfavorable, but he was afraid that he would be taken down by this Li Zhong as soon as he made a move.
"Lord Wang, who do you want to kill when you send such a wreck to General Wei all day and night?" Li Zhong asked nonchalantly.
"This, this General Li is afraid that he has misunderstood---- what can he do with this Lu Seng Zhen? In this General Wei's military camp, which one is not more powerful than him?" Xiao Hong said with a reluctant smile.
"Really, how do I feel that this General Lu is quite capable, just with his ability to pat himself on the back, we can't compare to anyone, but this soft bone is also something he can't get rid of. Before I could beat him, he had already admitted that it was you who sent him to kill Fan ----Jun, Lord Wang."
"What nonsense, how could I do such a thing? General Li must not listen to his side of the story. Xiao Hong hurriedly quibbled.
After hearing this, Li Zhong nodded: "What the prince said is very true, a person like General Lu who betrays his lord to seek glory, I advise the prince to get rid of him as soon as possible, so as not to be burdened by him in the future." However, General Wei instructed the last general, your deputy general will naturally be handed over to you to deal with, if our General Wei kills him casually, then the prince will return to the capital in the future, and accidentally say the wrong thing in front of the emperor, I am afraid that this mistake will have to be borne by our general. I pondered that General Wei did the right thing in this matter, or should I hand it over to you to deal with---- okay, I sent it to you, you can do it yourself." Lord Wang, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first. ”
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he put the Pema in his hand back into the scabbard, Xiao Hong smiled and watched him leave his tent, walked in front of Lu Seng Zhen, and kicked him a few times: "You soft bones, you will say everything as soon as you scare you? ”
"Lord Wang---- now we can't go anywhere. Lu Shengzhen cried and said.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Hong was also stunned when he heard this.
"That Wei Rui, we have already sent people---- sent people to surround our camp, we, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out. ”
"Ah---- why is Wei Rui so bold? One day, when I return to the court, I will definitely refer to him in front of the imperial brother. Xiao Hong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, this Wei Rui really ate the gall of a leopard, and even he dared to be placed under house arrest.
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that it's ---- I'm afraid that you sent someone to the second prince, and General Wei already knows about it. ”
"Impossible---- this is absolutely impossible, how could he know about it?"
Lu Shengzhen slowly got up from the ground: "Lord Wang, think about it, since the person who sent the letter to the second prince left, it has been a few days, and I haven't seen him come back at all, I am worried, worried that this person has already fallen into the hands of Wei Rui." ”
Xiao Hong's heart was cold after hearing this, if this is the case, then Wei Rui has basically confirmed his affair of fornicating with foreign enemies in the army---- so since Wei Rui has obtained his own handle, why has he not been able to have a showdown with himself? Xiao Hong is more afraid of this time, the more he thinks about it, the more afraid he is of the rebellion he has been planning for decades, and now after being learned by the imperial brother, how miserable his fate is, he feels a chill on his back when he thinks about it.
He carefully recalled what he said in the letter, and did not reveal his treason intentions in the slightest, he had already contacted Xiao Zong many times through code words, and this time the code words were not something that others could see at a glance. Thinking of this, he felt a little calmer in his heart, but he was already guilty of the taboo of the soldier when he communicated with the enemy when he was in battle, even if Wei Rui would not do anything to himself, in front of the imperial brother in the future, he would never be able to say that Wei Rui's half a word was bad, when he thought of Wei Rui's mind so deeply, he was also extremely afraid, just thinking that his imperial brother was a very protective person, that is, he had real evidence in the hands of Wei Rui, and in front of the imperial brother, whether he said it or not, the imperial brother would not listen to him, but would only believe what he said。
"Hmph, just look at it, I, Xiao Hong, am not afraid of him, when I see the emperor in the future, I will naturally have a way to deal with it. ”
After Li Zhong came out of Xiao Hong, he came to Wei Rui's Chinese army tent with a snort, and he saw that Wei Rui and Fan Jun were looking at the topographic map, and there was no one else, so he asked loudly: "General, since you have already taken the spy around the prince, why don't you punish the prince and send someone to guard him?"
Wei Rui looked up at him and motioned for him not to speak so loudly: "General Li, can you conclude that the prince is a person who fornicates with the enemy country just by relying on a person who is a close confidant of the prince and the vaguely worded letter on his body?"
"But ----," Li Zhong lowered his voice and asked, "Then we can't let the prince continue to mess around like this before the battle, right?"
"That's why I sent you, the general, to watch him. Wei Rui gently patted Li Zhong's shoulder with his hand.
"This is about to go to war, but you want me to look at that ---- useless prince there, don't you suffocate me alive. Li Zhong said reluctantly with a glare.
"Lord Wang, you must watch me closely, don't make another thing about escaping, when the two armies are facing each other, you must not let him get a chance to escape. "Wei Rui's biggest worry at this time is that this prince will disturb his military spirit at a critical moment.
"Don't worry, general, don't say anything else, I can take all of this prince's subordinates. ”
"General Li, if you are optimistic about the prince, I will remember your first merit in this Zhongli battle. Wei Rui nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Okay, then I'll take credit for it first. Li Zhong is also a good coaxer, and he happily dismissed it with a word.
After Wei Rui waited for him to go out, he asked Fan Jun in a low voice, "You have been here in Huaishui for the past few days, but you have observed carefully?"
"Father-in-law, the water in Huaishui has risen sharply recently, and the Wei army is full of men and horses on both sides of Huaishui, if you want to break through the two lines of defense, I am afraid that there are still too many difficulties. Fan Jun pointed to the deployment of the Wei army on the topographic map, and there were still too many worries in his heart.
"Who said I was going to break through their defenses?" Wei Rui said in a faint tone.
"Father-in-law---- aren't you trying to break through their defensive line?" Fan Jun remembered that during this period of time, Wei Rui had to go to investigate the deployment of troops on the Wei army's defensive line almost every day, as well as the recent rise in Huaishui and the direction of the wind these days.
"The Northern Wei Dynasty is the best at attacking tactics, and if they don't want to find a way to stop their cavalry, they will not be able to stop their advancing horses' hooves even if they have twice the number of troops. Jun'er, where is their weakest point at this time?" Wei Rui asked, pointing to the map.
Fan Jun carefully checked the map, shook his head slightly and said, " Father-in-law, I still don't see any flaws in them, you see, this Yuanying is stationed on the south bank of Huaishui, and Yang Dayan is on the north bank of Huaishui, there are dozens of pontoon bridges between them, and the supplies are all transported back and forth by these pontoon bridges, the tactics of their two generals are excellent, especially General Yuanying, the south can continue to attack Zhongli, and there are Yang Dayan's troops in the north as backup, their deployment can be said to be very ingenious---- father-in-law, have you thought about what method to use to attack their defense line?"
Wei Rui nodded: "The idea has been there for a long time, but I am still waiting for an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”
"However, the emperor wants us to take down the Wei army besieging Zhongli within three months, so where does that opportunity start?"
