Chapter 185: The two sides negotiate
The black hue had already come unconsciously, but Ling Tian was not sleepy at all today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
These officers and men have surrounded Sifeng Mountain since late last night.
At first, when the thieves under his hand told him, he didn't believe it, but when Ye Yang and Ma Hanshan, the second leader of Majiabao, both came to his cottage at the same time to discuss with him, he believed it.
"These officers and soldiers are definitely not from Yinzhou, and none of the officers and soldiers over there in Yinzhou have the courage to attack Sifeng Mountain, and besides, we are familiar with the people over there!"
Ma Hanshan, the second leader of Majiabao, kept pacing anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back and an anxious look at this time.
"It shouldn't be the officers and soldiers from Huanzhou, when Shao Shifu Mu Yong sent troops to attack Sifeng Mountain, he was deflated, and now it is estimated that he will not dare to come if he has ten guts. ”
Ye Yang of Swallow Village also frowned, and said as if thinking.
"No matter where the officers and soldiers are, this doesn't depend on the attitude of the court, how to see if the court really wants to exterminate us, last time Mu Yong ate deflated, he also ate the turtle of the court, if the court doesn't care, just us, they didn't kill us in minutes. ”
In comparison, Ling Tian was the calmest one among these people.
"Yes, what Master Ling said is right, we still have to wait for the people we sent out to come, and see what we say. ”
Ma Hanshan said as if showing off.
Usually their Majiazhai is inconspicuous on this four-peak mountain, but now, they have really become a treasure in the eyes of everyone. The big boss Ma Yannan is the fast catcher of the Yinzhou Catching Fast Division, and his popularity goes without saying.
And when will you not show off at this moment?
After Ye Yang heard this, although he glanced at Ma Hanshan with disdain, he still didn't say anything, and at this time, he couldn't start infighting, Ye Yang still knew this truth.
"That's not right!"
Just as the two were talking, Ling Tian suddenly said as if he had thought of something.
"Ling Da is in charge, what's wrong?"
After Ye Yang and Ma Hanshan heard this, they were also taken aback, and Ma Hanshan asked first.
"It stands to reason that the siege of the cottage should be besieged, why did the people we sent out to ask for help go out without much effort. Besides, a whole day has passed since last night, why are they only besieging but not attacking, this is not right!"
Ling Tian said with a very heavy expression as he thought about it.
"What's wrong with this, after all, there are three of us cottages on the mountain, although they are officers and soldiers, but they don't have to be carefully observed and observed, besides, they don't know the people we sent out to rescue, and besides, with good martial arts, it is reasonable to easily get out. ”
After hearing this, Ma Hanshan said disapprovingly.
"I wish I could, but I always felt that something was wrong. ”
For this situation, Ling Tian also didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong.
"Report to the three masters, the people we sent out to ask for help have returned. ”
And at this moment, a thief walked in from outside the door, saluted the three and said.
"Let them in. ”
And it wasn't until he heard the news that Ling Tian's face improved slightly.
He always felt that he would not be able to come back, but if he could come back, at least it would prove that the result should not be bad.
Not long after the words fell, not long after the bandit walked out, three people walked in.
"I've seen three masters. ”
When the three men came in, they immediately saluted.
"These etiquettes are waived, tell me, how is the situation?"
Ling Tian first waved his hand tirelessly, and then said to the three of them.
"The situation is not good, Majiazhai and Tianwang Valley have been exterminated, I heard that these troops are under the banner of the Mu family, and they are from Shaoshifu. ”
First the first thief came out and said with a sad face.
And after Ling Tian heard this, his mood also instantly sank to the bottom.
"Also, the bandits along the road have been exterminated. ”
Before Ling Tian could speak, the man added.
Hearing this, Ling Tian's mood suddenly fell to the bottom again, hearing this, it proved that they were serious this time. However, when Ling Tian heard that it was the army of Shao Shifu, his thoughts began to fly again.
It stands to reason that after Shao Shifu ate turtles last time, this time he would not be so willful to suppress the bandits. But this time it's them again.
Then it proves that either his own people are wrong in the investigation, or there are more important people behind Shao Shifu's coming to suppress the bandits this time. And judging from the situation of the last suppression of bandits, since the last battle, Shao Shifu also knows their details well, which means that they must be fighting a confident battle this time.
But since it was a confident battle, why did they only surround and not attack. This was something that Ling Tian couldn't figure out no matter how he thought about it.
Although he couldn't figure it out, there was a faint sense of foreboding coming towards him at this moment.
"You go down first, you two?"
After Ling Tian finished speaking to this person, he shifted the topic to the other two people.
And the information given by those two people was better than Ling Tian had imagined.
Xue Dian and Yinzhou Capture Division promised to come to relieve this crisis, and what made Ling Tian even more overjoyed was that Yinzhou actually promised to send troops to relieve the siege of Sifeng Mountain.
It stands to reason that the army of Huanzhou came to surround the mountain, and as the army of Yinzhou, which is also the Great Qin, it should not interfere in this matter. But you know, the political situation in Yinzhou is very complicated right now. Other places are local control armies, but Yinzhou is a local army that depends on the army, in other words, whether it is Daqin or Xiyu, they are now fighting for this army, so the army in Yinzhou is much more capricious than that in other places.
At this time, Ling Tian was thinking more about something deeper.
Obviously, it is very clear now that this is definitely not the meaning of the imperial court, if the imperial court comes to suppress the bandits, the army of Yinzhou will never dare to come to the rescue.
The main thing is who is the real mastermind behind this crackdown.
Ye Yang and Ma Hanshan were extremely happy at the moment, and compared to these two people, Ling Tian seemed to have more thoughts, which was not much to say.
But it was said that Zuoqiu Zong and the others were also at the bottom of the mountain at this moment, and the people who followed Hejing at this moment were watching the situation on the mountain in a majestic manner, all of them were gearing up, as if they were always ready to kill them up the mountain.
However, at this moment, He Jing has not yet given the order for a general attack, so no one dares to act easily.
"Commander-in-chief, everyone has gone up. ”
At this time, there was a man dressed as a general who trotted all the way over and reported to He.
He Jing also nodded after listening.
"Very good, let's attack the mountain now!"
Then He Jing said very freely.
Although He Jing said very freely, but looking at the little general who reported again, he was still standing in place, without the slightest sign of leaving.
"Just ......"
The little general said hesitantly after hearing this.
"What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it. ”
He Jing saw the little general's spitting appearance, and said helplessly.
"It's just that according to our investigation, an army is coming from the direction of Yinzhou, and it is General Zhenyin's person who is watching the seaweed, so our general asks for instructions, is it going to attack the mountain, or meet the enemy first?"
When the little general saw Hejing asking, he also told the matter honestly.
It's okay not to say this, but even Hejing is a little bottomless.
At this time, General Zhenyin drove the army over, and he didn't know this Guancanghai. Don't ask, it's definitely not to help yourself, since it's not here to help yourself, it's definitely to help the enemy. There is no doubt about it.
But whether to meet the enemy or not is a big problem.
Their actions this time were ordered by the King of Qi, that is, they were concealed from the imperial court.
If they face the enemy head-on now, there is no doubt that this matter will definitely be stabbed to the court, which means that they are likely to indirectly lead to direct confrontation with the court by doing so.
For He Jing, who knew King Qi very well, he also knew that it was not that they were afraid of the imperial court, and it could even be said that it would be a matter of time before they antagonized the imperial court. But now it is clear that it is against the imperial court, and it is still early in terms of timing.
However, the Yinzhou army is coming, and it is obviously unwise not to meet the enemy.
Although all these people he brought were martial arts masters, and they were also prepared battles, the problem was that no matter how high the level of martial arts cultivation was, in the end, they were still people, and if an army came in, it was likely that the situation that they had carefully arranged would get out of control.
"How many people came?"
After thinking for a while, He Jing asked very seriously.
"It is estimated that there are more than 20,000 people. ”
The little general also reported honestly.
"This is a bloody capital, isn't it just Ma Yannan?
After listening to this, he said to himself.
"That's it, don't move yet, I'll go and see the sea. ”
After He Jing finished speaking, he seemed to be very helpless and said.
Then after admonishing these dense martial arts masters who were in ambush, he took two or three close masters and followed the little general.
But it was said that Guancanghai also rushed over along the way, and when he was about to reach the foot of the Sifeng Mountain, there was a road of people blocking the way of the army.
When his Qianlu Army reported the situation to Guan Canghai of the Chinese army, Guan Canghai also had an angry face.
"Where is the army?"
But the emotion on his face quickly disappeared, and he asked with a pretense of composure.
"They didn't say it explicitly, they just said that they wanted to meet General Guan, but judging from the dress, it was estimated that it was the army of Shaoshifu in Huanzhou. ”
The man who reported said.
"Oh, I'll take a look. ”
After Guan Canghai listened, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, accompanied by a group of guards, he rode forward.
"Who dare to stand up to grandpa my army?"
Before the people who watched the sea arrived, the sound had already reached the ears of those who were blocking the road in front of them.
"General Guan, we are from Shaoshi Mansion in Huanzhou, and the young general of my family wants to invite the old general to our military camp to say a few words. ”
When the soldier saw that the main man was coming, he immediately said politely.
"Talk, go to your barracks, we are enemies now, is it safe to go to your barracks?"
Guan Canghai asked disapprehantly.
"General Guan laughed, how can we be enemies, even if the two armies are a little misunderstood now, it is because of these bandits on the mountain, how can such a few little thieves cause hostility between our two families? ”
That person was not at all stunned by the words of Guan Canghai, and still said calmly.
"Okay, you lead the way, I don't think your generals will dare to do anything to me. ”
Guan Canghai said disapprerovitically.
Then under the leadership of this Shaoshifu major general, he walked towards the military camp of Shaoshifu.
After a while, Guan Canghai came to the Shao Shifu military camp, and Mu Tianguang had already prepared wine and food, waiting for Guan Canghai's arrival.
"I've seen the old general, and the little nephew has been waiting here for a long time. ”
Seeing that Guancang Sea was coming, Mu Tianguang immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Just you, kid, do you want me to see you bastards?" or do you want to set me a feast to see if I can take the bait?"
Compared with Mu Tianguang, watching the sea is much more rude.
"General Guan laughed, the little nephew really invited him with sincerity this time, and the purpose is that he really doesn't want to face Uncle Guan with a sword, isn't this to ask for peace!"
Mu Tianguang was not angry at all after hearing this, and still said with a smile.
"What, Taiping, if you really want peace, then how can you lead the army here? I see that you are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, I am afraid when you see me, if you are afraid, I advise you to go home as soon as possible. ”
But it is obvious that Guan Canghai does not buy his face.
"Uncle Guan laughed, this time to suppress the bandits, I also acted in accordance with the orders from above, and I was forced to do so, I hope the general will not be embarrassed! Besides, there are only a few bandits, why should Uncle Guan do this?"
Mu Tianguang still said with a smile.
"The order from above, this is strange, since it is a bandit, why is the order from above only given to you, but not to me? It stands to reason that this kind of thing is done by the two of us together. ”
After Mu Tianguang said these words, Guan Canghai said without giving face at all, obviously he didn't believe the order from above at all.
"So, General Guan doesn't have to discuss?"
Mu Tianguang couldn't make sense, his face changed suddenly, and he asked sharply.
"No, yes. ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, Guan Canghai's tone changed.
"Then please ask Uncle Guan to make it clear, how can you do it so that you don't care about this matter?"
After Mu Tianguang heard this, he also blinded his eyes by Guan Canghai's words.
"Actually, it's not a difficult thing, we Mingren don't say dark words, my army in Yinzhou also has to eat and drink all year round, let alone form a decent army for those children given by the imperial court, it is difficult to meet the food and accommodation, and my army is raised by these bandits, if you exterminate the bandits today, you will undoubtedly cut off the way of life of my brothers." So don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Guan Canghai said with a big grin.
"So, you still won't let us suppress the bandits!"
After Mu Tianguang heard this, he still asked with a confused expression.
"No, I never said I wouldn't let you kill the bandits, I just wanted you to leave my brother alive. ”
Guan Canghai is still smiling.
"What do you mean, please make it clear. ”
"After you pay the bandits this time, all the money and food will belong to me. ”
Guan Canghai was not polite after hearing this, and said word by word.
