"Oh! This is not General Feng." Suddenly a voice sounded, calling out Feng Chuan. Feng Chuan subconsciously pulled the reins, stopped the mount, turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, only to see a group of men and horses parked at the entrance of the street not far away, but it was surrounded by several domestic servants. With a luxuriously decorated carriage, the curtains of the carriage have been lifted, revealing a human face, smiling at Feng Chuan and saying hello.
"It turned out to be Master Zhong." Seeing that face, Feng Chuan's expression showed a trace of contempt. This person was the minister of Jiangling Prefecture, Zhong Pan, who was the first minister to join Yingxuan. one. It was only in the eyes of Feng Chuan and other British generals that this Zhong Pan only relied on sloppy beards and horses to get to such a high official position, and he had no great ability at all. But no matter what, the kung fu on this occasion is still to be done. Immediately Feng Chuan led his subordinates and walked to Zhong Pan's carriage. Feng Chuan held his fist at Zhong Pan and shouted, "How did Master Zhong come out today?"
When Feng Chuan said this, he was ridiculed. Before the enemy attacked the city, the princes and ministers were all scared into his own mansion, especially those who took refuge in Yingxuan’s side for fear that Jiangling City would be broken. Those of them who took refuge in Yingxuan did not end well. However, Zhong Pan didn't seem to see the sarcasm on Feng Chuan's face, and smiled indifferently: "I don't want to hide from General Feng, the old man is concerned about the situation in the city. He is waiting for the general here and wants to ask about the situation. I don't know this city. What's the situation on the head? Can the old man be able to help?"
Feng Chuan sneered at Zhong Pan's words. He said, "Master Zhong is too worried. This city is still safe. Today, the enemy's attack has been repelled. Just wait until the reinforcements from Yinghua and Liu Shidao arrive. Naturally, the miscellaneous fish outside the city is a place of death and no burial. Master Zhong is weak, so let’s go back to the house early.” After all, Feng Chuan didn’t bother to talk nonsense with Zhong Pan anymore, and turned around and took his subordinates. Continue to rush towards Yingxuan's residence.
"Ah! General Feng, go slowly!" Seeing Feng Chuan being so rude, Zhong Pan still smiled and watched Feng Chuan go away. After Feng Chuan disappeared, Zhong Pan's face appeared. The smile disappeared immediately, he snorted deeply, and got back into the car. Without Zhong Pan's command, those servants rushed directly to Situ Mansion, which is located at the other end of Jiangling City, with their carriages.
In the carriage, besides Zhong Pan, there were still two people hiding, seeing that both of them were wearing black cloaks, but their hoods were taken off, revealing their faces. These two are not others, they are the other two Jiangling officials, one is Weng Tong and the other is Zhang Shun.
In the carriage, both Weng Tong and Zhang Shun looked gloomy. Zhang Shun said to Zhong Pan: "Master Zhong, what Feng Chuan said just now, how reliable is it in your opinion?"
Zhong Pan snorted coldly, without the flattering smile before, and said coldly: "That Feng Chuan's words are not credible at all. The old man also put a lot of eyeliners in the defending army, and there are at least 10,000 people outside the city. There are more people. And the British Xuan army in the city has only a thousand people. How can I hold this Jiangling city? According to my opinion, even if Feng Chuan repulsed the opponent's attack today, I am afraid it would have paid a lot of money."
As the only three of them, Weng Tong, who had brought soldiers to battle, also nodded in agreement, and said, “Although I didn’t see Feng Chuan’s appearance just now, I can hear from his voice that Feng Chuan’s physical strength is not exhausted. Xiao, I’m afraid Feng Chuan is tired enough to repel the attack of the soldiers and horses outside the city. Looking down, Feng Chuan probably won’t be able to guard for long. The soldiers and horses outside the city must be fighting with minimal consumption. The idea to break through the city gate. It's consuming the strength of the defenders bit by bit."
When Weng Tong said that, both Zhong Pan and Zhang Shun were happy. Zhong Pan couldn't help but said with emotion: "Blessed by the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, Ying Xuan, the traitor, has finally repaid." Two lines of clear tears flowed out, laughing and crying, but mostly smiles.
Zhang Shun also sighed and said, "Brother Weng Tong, where did you say that the soldier and horse outside the city came out from? It was able to escape the defense line of the British dog thief and sneak outside the city of Jiangling. ?"
Weng Tong shook his head and said, "This is not surprising. Before, the Yingxuan dog thief was so scared that General Zhao Yan, who was said to be under the Qianshui King's account, was so scared that all the elite soldiers and horses of Jiangling were sent to the police. The whole Jiangling was sent to the police. Within the prefecture, there are also a thousand people in Jiangling City, and the city defenses in other places are in vain. Yingxuan was really calculated by Master Zhao Yan this time."
"Ah?" Zhong Pan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "Brother Zhang, do you think that the soldier outside the city will be the person who believes in King Qiansui's tent under General Zhao Yan?" The soldier outside the city. The appearance was so sudden that even Zhong Pan didn't know the origin of the soldiers and horses outside the city before.
"I'm afraid it is." Weng Tong said in a deep voice, "Did you forget the two? General Zhao Yan has a lot of soldiers under his tent. It is not difficult to divide a part and turn around on a small road."
"Wonderful." Zhong Pan slapped his palm with excitement, and said: "This Zhao Yan is indeed capable and should be a hero to save the country."
But at this time, Zhang Shun, who was on the side, was only happy for a while, but his face became gloomy again, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Weng. Let's not be happy too early. Don't forget, Zhao Yan I'm afraid it's not a good person. Although that Yingxuan burns, kills, loots and does no evil, but at least I am the general of the Southern Song Dynasty. But Zhao Yan is a gangster in name. In case they are going to be against us, it will be over. We don't want the front door. Go to the back of the tiger and enter the wolf!
"Uh." Zhang Shun reminded him, Zhong Pan was stunned immediately, and muttered: "This, this, maybe not! Isn't he a believer in His Royal Highness? According to the truth, he is also a believer in the King. Although the deployment of the army is their own leader, they can be regarded as the soldiers of the Song Dynasty! How can he be unruly toward us?"
"Huh! Not necessarily! After all, it's blunt now. It is not a matter of a day or two for the King of Letters and His Majesty to fight for the throne. We are all His Majesty's courtiers. How can we not be excluded by them? Besides, Zhao Yan is just a legend People who believe in the king, who knows the actual situation? What if not?" This time it was Weng Tong's turn to snorted and said disdainfully.
Weng Tong asked Zhong Pan in such a way, but at this time, the carriage stopped suddenly, and then a voice came from outside: "My lord. It's already at the intersection where the two adults' residence is located. ."
"Yeah." Zhong Pan replied, and then signaled that Zhang Shun and Weng Tong were ready to go out. After all, Jiangling City is still under the control of Yingxuan, and no one knows if Yingxuan has placed personnel around the homes of their ministers. So Zhong Pan didn't dare to be too blatant.
And Zhang Shun and Weng Tong both nodded their heads, put on their head coverings, and immediately wrapped their entire bodies in the cloaks. Then the two quickly got off the carriage while there was no one on the left and right, and disappeared into the street in a blink of an eye. After Zhong Pan watched the two go away, he did not dare to delay, and directly ordered his servants to leave in a hurry in the carriage. In the carriage, Zhong Pan closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Zhao Yan! Hopefully! Don't let the old man down. Otherwise, even if you fight the old man's life, you have to do harm to the country."
"Damn. This damn city is really hard to fight." Xiaogui Xie, who was outside Jiangling City, cursed, and threw the long knife in his hand to the side, directly on the personal soldier under his hand. That's right, otherwise, you have to be hurt by Xie Xiaogui with this knife.
"Hehe. General Xie Xiaogui don't worry." Behind Xie Xiaogui, it was General Guiyang Army General Ma, who had taken refuge in the hand of King Zhao Zhen, who had taken refuge in the past. General Ma smiled and persuaded: "The Jiangling City is strong, but the defending army. Too little, given time, we will surely be able to take down Jiangling City. Now this is also to reduce the casualties of our army, it is a last resort."
"General Ma is right." There were many generals beside General Ma. They were all Guiyang army generals who had taken refuge in the account of King Zhao Zhen. This time Xiaogui Xie was ordered to play, so naturally they all I brought it, and it is Shen Junshan who is talking now. Shen Junshan glanced at General Ma and said with a smile: "Anyway, according to the adults' plan, we don't have to worry about the enemy's reinforcements at all. We only need to slowly exhaust the defenders in Jiangling City. Then Yingxuan in the city will definitely be running. You can't drop it."
Xiaogui Xie also sat down at this moment and took a big mouthful of cold water. Then he blinked and smiled: "I also know what you are saying. It's really uncomfortable for me to just keep going like this. I should have known it before. Say hello to Huang Yunfei, we will change for the two of us. Let him fight this Jiangling City, and we will stop Yinghua. That's a 50,000 army. It's enough to make us addicted."
After hearing what Xie Xiaogui said, General Ma, Shen Junshan and others all smiled bitterly at each other, and they only had a headache when they stood with such a coach. Fortunately, Xiaogui Xie only talked about it, and he wouldn't really violate the orders of the king. Only seeing Xiaogui Xie’s pity on his face, General Shen Junshan couldn’t help but explain: "General Xie Xiaogui, those who chase the Yinghua army must have sufficient mobility. Looking at the soldiers under the adults’ account. Horses, only Qingqi has this ability, if we change to chase, I am afraid that Yinghua will swallow it in one bite."
Shen Junshan explained the reason Xie Xiaogui also understands, but this is a bit unbearable, Dang even waved his hand and said: "Okay. Okay. I understand all these principles. Don't worry, I won't be messy. "Xie Xiaogui shook his head boringly, curled his mouth and asked, "By the way, there is still no news in this city? Didn't Master Fu say that those princes and ministers in the city will come to contact us?"
Shen Junshan owed his body and said to Xiaogui Xie: "Until now, no one has come to contact us, but this is not ruled out because the guards are too tightly guarded. I think we should wait."
When Xie Xiaogui led the army to set out, Fu Xuan once said to Xie Xiaogui that if their trip went smoothly, they might receive assistance from Jiangling City. When the time comes, Xie Xiaogui will be able to break through Jiangling City. Great help. But Xie Xiaogui had been attacking the city for so many days, and he hadn't received any news from the city, which made Xie Xiaogui a little too late.
"Damn. I knew these princes and ministers were unreliable." Like Ji Qianqian, Xie Xiaogui had no good impression of those princes and ministers. Back then, Xiaogui Xie was also a commoner, and that was the coldness and cold eyes of countless dog officials. In addition, they surrendered to the Jin Bing when they saw the Jin Bing coming, and the Song Army came back and took refuge in the Song Army. Yingxuan occupied Jiangling without observing the emperor's order, and they did not dare to resist.
Therefore, Xiaogui Xie naturally has no favor with them. Hearing that General Ma said that there is no news yet, even if Xie Xiaoguidang's face was cold, he said, "These horrible things are useless at all. If you want me to say, simply break Jiangling City forcibly. When the time comes, we will directly. Kill Ying Xuan and the ministers one by one."
"This?" Looking at Xie Xiaogui's murderous look, General Ma, Shen Junshan and others looked at each other, and they were unsure whether Xie Xiaogui was talking angry or truthful. General Ma couldn't help but persuade: " General Xie Xiaogui. Although these princes and ministers are bastards, they can't move. If they move, the impact on adults will be too great."
"Okay! Don't say it." Xiaogui Xie waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Of course I know, don't worry. I won't kill them all."
Won't kill them all? The implication of this, is that really about to move? This shocked General Ma and the others, and they spoke out to discourage them. You said something to me, but Xiaogui Xie was so annoyed that he was going to go crazy immediately.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, but a soldier hurried in from outside the camp tent, and outside the camp tent, there was obviously a gray-headed and white-faced soldier who was tied up and held by several other soldiers. And the soldier clasped his fists at Xie Xiaogui and said, "General. When he retreated from the city today, he caught an agent. A secret letter was found from him." Then the soldier said. He held a secret letter stained with blood in his hands and raised it above his head.
"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, the generals all stopped and turned to look at the secret letter in the soldier's hand. Xiaogui Xie directly waved his hand and said, "Get the secret letter quickly. "Immediately, the soldier directly touched the secret letter in front of Xie Xiaogui, and Xie Xiaogui received the secret letter, opened it and read it.
After reading this secret letter, Xiaogui Xie's eyes narrowed, but there was no expression on his face, and he said directly to the soldier, "What about the spy? Bring him here. I have something to ask him. "After speaking, Xiaogui Xie directly threw the secret letter to General Ma, who was nearest to him, clearly indicating that General Ma should read the secret letter.
General Ma clasped his fists and read the secret letter, and his face suddenly showed joy. It turned out that the secret letter was nothing but the news about the princes and ministers in the city that everyone had discussed before. Obviously the princes and ministers in the city had guessed that they were soldiers and horses under the tent of the trusting king Zhao Zhen, so this time they were specially sent to inform them, hoping that they could cooperate inside and outside to break Jiangling City. General Ma was so excited after reading this secret letter. After passing the secret letter to others, he smiled and fisted at Xie Xiaogui and said, "General Xie Xiaogui. This time we have a chance to attack the city."
And before long, among the generals' joy, the soldier took the soldier who had been tied up by the five flowers into the camp. As soon as the soldier came in and saw a group of generals in the camp, he immediately shouted: "A few generals! The villain escaped from the city deliberately. The villain was ordered by Master Zhong to find some generals. !"
"Okay. Stop howling!" Xiaogui Xie snorted impatiently, but he suppressed the spy, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me honestly, who are you? What is the intention in our army? If you dare to deceive something, Lao Tzu will keep you so that you can't survive or die." When he said this, Xiaogui Xie suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and directly put the one in front of him. The low table was cut in half.
The spy was frightened by Xie Xiaogui's hand and gave a cold war all over his body. He glanced at Xie Xiaogui with fear, and then said tremblingly: "General. The villain is the slave of Master Zhong's mansion. This time, he said. It was by the order of Master Zhong to get out of the city when the general's army was fighting with the soldiers and horses of the British Xuan dog thief."
"Oh?" Xie Xiaogui's eyes narrowed, but he stared at the spy's expression. General Ma and other generals just wanted to say something, but Xie Xiaogui waved to stop him, Xie Xiaogui narrowed his eyes and asked. : "You said you were sent by Zhong? What evidence is there then?"
"There is natural. The villain brought Master Zhong's autograph letter, which has been handed to the general. If the general does not believe it, there is a private seal of Master Zhong on the villain's chest. The general can use it for verification." Having said that, the spy held his chest straight and pointed towards Xie Xiaogui. He was trapped so sturdily that it was impossible for him to take things by himself.
Xiaogui Xie winked at the guards on the left and right, and since someone stepped forward, he took out the private seal from the spy’s arms and handed it directly to Xiaogui Xie. Xie Xiaogui took a closer look. It was indeed Master Zhong’s private seal. . The private jade seal of a lion head is not something that ordinary people can imitate.
Now Xiaogui Xie smiled, waved to the left and right, and said: "Yeah! Help him loosen the tie. And you, let's talk. Master Zhong sent you out of the city, but what do you want to tell us?"
After the left and right soldiers loosened the tie for the spy, the spy immediately said: "General. My lord has united many ministers in the city who are loyal to Song Dynasty and is ready to launch an attack tomorrow night. At that time, my lord. People will be sent to open the city gates and use torches as the name to welcome the adults' rebels into the city, and together they will punish the Yingxuan dog bandits.
"That's right." Xiaogui Xie immediately yelled after hearing the spy's words, and took the saber directly back into the scabbard, and then said with a smile: "If this is the case, Master Zhong is indeed loyal to my Da Song and Wang Qiansui. . I’m still impressed. It’s just that the British propaganda army of the British propaganda dog thief is not easy. I don’t know how Master Zhong will deal with the British propaganda army and open the city gate?"
It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and the spy immediately replied: "This is nothing for the general to worry about. My grown-up has planted many cronies among the defenders in the city all these years. When the incident happens tomorrow, The cronies placed by my adult will get into trouble, and will take down the city gate in one fell swoop to welcome the general into the city."
Xiaogui Xie nodded his head again and again, and then said with a smile: "Very good. Since Master Zhong has arranged everything. Then let's act according to this plan. Your trip is also hard, so let's go and rest first." After that, Xiaogui Xie motioned to the left and right soldiers to take the spy away.
But the spy clasped his fists and said, "General. The villain can't rest. My adult is still waiting for the villain to reply. Now that the general has agreed, the villain should immediately go into the city and tell my adult, so that they can do well. Prepare." What the spy said was reasonable, Xiaogui Xie did not refuse, nodded and agreed.
