Chapter 340: Xingyang Fengyun
After Li Jing became the master of Wagang Mountain, he first used an article to discuss Yang Guangwei to attract turmoil in the world, which made the world's heroes go up the mountain one after another. The limelight was unmatched for a while among the many anti-Sui rebels.
With the skyrocketing power, some people inevitably made suggestions to Li Jing, asking him to call him the king and emperor like the leaders of the righteous armies.
Li Jing had already made up his mind, and sternly refused to call himself the king and emperor, but called himself "Generalissimo of Dingshi and Anmin", and his men and horses were called "Dingshi Army".
Although Yang Guang was arrogant and unscrupulous after he ascended the throne, he has always been concerned about things related to Li Jing. After learning the news that Li Jing had gone to Wagang Mountain, he successively ordered several groups of people and horses near Wagang Mountain to go to conquer and suppress, but they were all defeated and lost by Li Jing, which increased the prestige of Li Jing and the Dingshi Army.
When Yang Guang was about to recruit the most trusted general Zhang Xutuo to send troops, Li Jing took a step ahead of him and sent his newly recruited disciple Wei Chi Gong as the vanguard, leading 3,000 elite soldiers to take the Jindi Pass, which was guarding the way out of Wagang Mountain.
Although Wei Chi Gong is a fledgling general, he is extremely brave, and under the Jindi Pass, with a Zhangba snake spear and a steel whip, he will behead all five famous generals, including Hua Gongyi, the main general of the Jindi Pass, in front of the battle, and take down this dangerous Xiongguan Pass.
After Li Jing captured Jindi Pass, he personally led 30,000 Dingshi army commanders to drive straight in, and the troops pointed directly at Xingyang.
When the battle report came to the court, Yang Guang couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Xutuo to rush to Xingyang to block the rebels, and on the other hand, he transferred Pei Renji, a famous general of the dynasty, to lead 20,000 troops to help in the war.
After Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji joined forces. Li Jing also led the world army to the city of Xingyang, and set up camp ten miles away from the city.
That night. Originally belonged to the governor of Qingzhou to protect his son, and was later seconded by Zhang Xutuo to Qin Qiongzheng and his righteous brother Luo Shixin had a secret conversation.
Luo Shixin is not very tall. The shoulders and hands and feet are quite stout, the face is dark, and the two eyes are one big and one small. He asked a little anxiously: "Big brother, since our brother has been worshipping, he has also said that the left is the master, and the right is also the master, and now the master is outside the city, why don't you take the younger brother to visit?"
Qin Qiong said with a smile: "Brother, don't be anxious, the foolish brother has a plan in his heart." Tomorrow is the time when the two armies are fighting. At that time, you and my brothers pretended to be in battle, and after apologizing to the marshal in front of the battle, they went directly to the master's array. ”
Luo Shixin applauded and smiled: "This is the best, eldest brother, you said that the master is a fairy-like figure, and the younger brother will definitely have a good life to meet when he sees it." However, since we want to serve the master, should we offer a gift of insight? The marshal is good to our brother, so naturally we can't attack him. The father and son of the Pei family don't have this friendship with us, especially Pei San's kid is above the top on weekdays, but the younger brother has long looked at him unpleasantly. It's not as good as ......."
"No!" Qin Qiong said categorically, "The eldest husband must do things above board. The father and son of the Pei family are now also generals under the command of the commander, what is the difference between us plotting against them and plotting against the commander? You and I have also made some meritorious deeds over the years, which is enough to repay the favor of the chief manager and the commander. Tomorrow, before the battle, explain the reason to the marshal, and leave with a cool and sharp edge. In the future, each of them will be their master, and they can also be at ease when they fight in front of the battle. ”
Luo Shixin's face turned red. Just as he was about to say something, a chuckle suddenly came from outside the window. One person lowered his voice and praised: "What a Qin Shubao, it is really better to meet than to be famous." It's better to meet than to be famous!"
Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were shocked at the same time, jumped up together, grabbed their weapons and were about to break out.
The two closed windows suddenly split to the left and right, and a figure flew in lightly and landed on the ground, waving his hand to the two brothers who were about to kill people in the room and said, "Brother Qin, don't you know the little brother Hou Junji?"
When Qin Qiong looked at it, he saw that he was lean, with a slender waist and long arms shaped like an ape, and it was Hou Junji, who had the reputation of "Little White Ape" in the rivers and lakes. This person is a disciple of his master's friend Xu Hongke, and he also brought gifts to congratulate his mother on her birthday, and he has a good friendship with him.
"It turned out to be Brother Hou, I don't know ...... you're here"
Hou Junji smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Qin, the younger brother is now serving under the command of Marshal Li, a small scout battalion commander. This night visit to Xingyang was ordered by the marshal to send a letter to Brother Qin. ”
With that, he took out a letter from his bag and respectfully presented it to Qin Qiong with both hands.
Hearing that it was a letter from the master, Qin Qiong didn't dare to slack off, first bowed to the letter, and then took it with both hands, and after opening it and reading it, there was a look of emotion on his face.
Early the next morning, after Zhang Xutuo ordered Pei Renji to stay and guard the city, he personally led his generals and 3,000 men and horses to kill out of Xingyang, and lined up the city with his back. The Dingshi army also found out the news early, and almost at the same time, Li Jing also led a cadre of generals and 3,000 men and horses out of the camp gate and lined up opposite the Sui army.
After the two rounds of confrontation, Zhang Xutuoce immediately stepped forward and shouted sharply to the opposite side: "Where is Li Jing? Come out and answer!"
When Li Jing heard this, he ordered the generals to hold their positions, and when they came to the front of the formation, they arched their hands to Zhang Xutuo and said: "I have heard of Zhang Shuai's name for a long time, and I am very sorry for my fate. It is also a blessing to meet in front of the battle today. ”
Zhang Xutuo looked at Li Jing for a while, and saw that although he was young, his bearing was as deep as an abyss and as immovable as a mountain. He also knew Li Jing's experience back then, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of forcing such an unborn outstanding figure into the opposing camp of the Great Sui for the sake of an inexplicable dream for the emperor.
Thinking of this, his voice couldn't help but soften: "Li Jing, Ben Shuai also knows that you received some grievances in your early years, but now you shouldn't openly raise a rebellion." If you lead the people to surrender, and this commander is willing to use this fame to intercede with His Majesty on your behalf to ensure that you will not die, are you willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"
Li Jing shook his head and smiled: "Does Zhang Shuai think that Li Jing raised an army against the Sui just to avenge his own revenge? Back then, the Yang family regarded me as a confidant and wanted to slaughter me because of an absurd dream, and after I escaped with my life, I only went into exile on the rivers and lakes. The reason why he only raised troops against Sui today is because Yang Guang has no way. I don't call myself the king and the second is not the emperor in Wagang, I only name the volunteers in my department as the 'Dingshi Army', and I take the 'Generalissimo of Dingshi Anmin', just to seek justice for this early and dusk poisonous world!"
"The erector is arrogant!" Zhang Xutuo was loyal to Yang Guang all his life, and when he heard Li Jing's words, he was furious, and looked back and called, "Which general captured this rebellion for this commander?"
"I'm coming!" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin in the formation glanced at each other, and one left and one right rushed out of the formation. (To be continued......)
