With this order, Shan Hongfei sent the soldiers who had brought in Zhang Ling and Zhu Gao ran in again, and directly dragged Zhang Ling and Zhu Gao down. Zhang Ling did not resist, and let the soldiers tore him off brutally. After Zhu Gao heard Shan Hongfei’s last words of extermination, his face was pale with fright, his eyes rolled, but he Was frightened and fainted.
After Zhang Ling and Zhu Gao were dragged down, Shan Hongfei and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. After the Linjiang Army was successfully attacked by Liu Guang last year, all the people under the account of Wang Zhaozhen took a sigh of relief, and they wished to immediately bring their soldiers and horses back to the Linjiang Army. However, because of various reasons, it was still unable to achieve his wish. Today, he finally regained the Linjiang Military City, which was considered a breath of illness in his chest.
The Linjiang Army's First World War soon ended, and the entire Linjiang Army and surrounding areas once again returned to the sphere of influence of the letter king Zhao Zhen. Wang Zongshi, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately led the navy forces to march northward, completely defeating Liu Guangshui, who had suffered huge losses before, and took down Xingan, thus sealing off the entire Ganjiang river basin.
Two days later, in Liu Guang's Mansion in Nanchang City, all important officers and ministers of Liu Guang gathered in the chamber to discuss how to deal with Zhao Yanjun's attack.
The whole chamber was silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Even Liu Tong, who is usually the most active, had a black face at this moment and remained silent. This time Liu Guanghui was so passive. In Liu Tong's opinion, because he failed to successfully capture the Wugong Mountain and help Zhao Guang reach the plan, he naturally had nothing to say.
After being silent for a while, Liu Guang, who was sitting on the top, let out a long sigh, and finally spoke. He said: "Well, if you lose, you will lose. It's no big deal. Man, it doesn't matter if you lose once or twice on the battlefield. The most important thing is that we can't lose our minds because of this. We lose this time, and we will next time. Just win it back."
I have to say that Liu Guang's rough remarks made everyone present feel relieved. Zhao Guang, who was sitting next to Liu Guang, nodded secretly. It is precisely because Liu Guang, who was born as a bandit, has such a mind that Zhao Guang is willing to use his talents for him.
Immediately, Zhao Guang continued Liu Guang’s words and said to the people: "My lord is right. Victory or defeat is the commonplace of the military. The great ancestors were defeated by Xiang Yu in the past, but in the end it was a battle to compete for the merits. I waited at that time. Yingjie, is it not as good as the ancients?"
Zhao Guang's words matched those of Liu Guang's just now, but they greatly encouraged the morale of everyone present, making the atmosphere in the chamber that had just been deadly silent gradually become alive. Of course, not everyone has recovered a relaxed mood. Sitting on the face of a young man from the Zhang Ling family, he looked up at Liu Guang with a bitter expression, and said, "My lord. Now Liu Guang has been taken by Zhao Jun. , And looking at Zhao Jun’s trend, it is possible to cross the Ganjiang tributary northward at any time. Adults should make arrangements as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard by Zhao Jun."
Hearing what Zhang said, everyone at the scene nodded, and Liu Guang also knew why the official from the Zhang clan had such a face. Not only him, but Zhu Hao and Zhang Cheng, who were sitting in front of the kid, and several others. The children of the two races all have the same expression.
This time the Zhao army captured Liu Guang, and all the other tribes were exterminated except for the clan ruled by Lingshan. Their whole family members were killed, and they naturally felt very uncomfortable. I heard that some time ago, after learning that the Zhu family had been annihilated, Zhu Hao was so angry that he almost led his troops south to avenge him.
Both Liu Guang and Zhao Guang shook their heads subconsciously. Neither of them thought that Zhao Jun would have done so absolutely this time. Originally, Liu Guang planned to rely on Zhang Ling’s line to retake Liu Guang, but now it seems that this road will not work. With these bloody lessons, I believe that the surviving Ling family will never again. Will help Liu Guang.
Liu Guangshen took a deep breath and said, "Everyone is absolutely right. The Linjiang Army was captured, especially after the Ganjiang River was controlled by the Wugong Landscape Army. As far as Zhao Jun is concerned, Nanchang is no longer prepared. Zhao Jun may go north at any time. . I wonder if you have any opinions?"
At this moment, a civilian under Liu Guang’s account immediately stood up and said to Liu Guang, “My lord, although Zhao Jun is strong, it is not invincible. The adults can deploy troops from various places to garrison south of Nanchang and block Zhao Jun’s northward movement. Route. According to intelligence, the Zhao army has allocated 50,000 horses to the Linjiang army this time. After the Linjiang army is captured, the Zhao army will inevitably retain some soldiers and horses to consolidate the Linjiang army, and the remaining soldiers and horses are as long as we are If you can be careful, you don’t have to worry too much."
"Yeah." Regarding this counselor's proposal, Liu Guang frowned and said: "It is easy to transfer soldiers and horses, but now most of our soldiers and horses still have to guard Raozhou and the north of the Nankang Army. Zhao Gou's army. If they were all transferred to the south, wouldn't they have no soldiers to defend against Raozhou?"
At this time, Zhang Cheng stood up and said, "My lord. From the subordinate's point of view, I don't have to worry about Raozhou's problems. With cold lips and cold teeth, it is impossible for Zhao Gou and Xia Cheng to understand this truth. This time the adults are fighting with Zhao Yan. If the adults are defeated, then Zhao Gou and Xia Cheng's life will not be easy. Therefore, the adults can relax and mobilize the soldiers and horses stationed in the north and east to fight Zhao Jun with all their strength."
"My lord." On the other side, the veteran loyal also got up and said: "The final general also agrees with the suggestions of the two adults. Xia Cheng is treacherous and will not sit and watch us lose to the hands of the faith king Zhao Zhen. The final general is willing to lead troops to guard Zhao The army can't pass through Xingan." In Huizhong's petition, other generals also stood up to petition.
Liu Guang waved his hand and signaled that all the generals would sit down first. This was not the main point of who led the troops to garrison. The question was how to be sure that Xia Cheng and Zhao Go would not send troops to sneak attacks. It is not Liu Guang's character to put all of this on the illusory possibility.
With a glance, Liu Guang suddenly saw that Zhao Guang who was sitting down seemed to be thinking about something. Zhao Guang’s talent Liu Guang knew well that although the last Wugong Mountain plan ended in failure, it did not affect Liu Guang’s attitude towards Zhao Guang in the slightest. enjoy. Immediately Liu Guang said to Zhao Guang: "Zhao Guang! If you have any thoughts, it is better to say it and listen."
Hearing Liu Guang clicked his name, Zhao Guang couldn't help but was taken aback, but he quickly came back to his senses. Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, Zhao Guang didn't have stage fright, and stood up to Liu Guang with a fist and said: " My lord! The subordinates are thinking, with our current strength, it is definitely impossible to defeat Zhao Jun alone. In that case, why can't we find allies?"
"Allies?" Liu Guang's eyes lit up. Not only him, but Zhao Guang beside Liu Guang, and many people sitting down seemed to have brightened their minds by Zhao Guang's words, and their eyes widened. Looking at Zhao Guang, looking forward to his next words. Liu Guang quickly said: "Zhao Guang! Who do you mean by allies?"
Although Zhao Guang had already stated a direction just now, it was obvious that this was only a plan in Zhao Guang's mind, and he had not yet matured in thinking. Now that Liu Guang asks Zhao Guang to tell the reason, it is really difficult for someone to do it. Zhao Guang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Well, the subordinates do not have a clear goal yet. It is just that the subordinates are thinking that the power of Zhao Jun is beyond doubt. I think other leaders and generals of Song Dynasty, too. We all know the truth about the death of the lips and the coldness of the teeth. Why don't we unite the rebels and fight Zhao Yan together? Only in this way can we have a chance to defeat Zhao Jun completely."
"My lord! What else do I have to think about? Xia Cheng's grandson turtle, I have long been unaccustomed to it. Since I want to fight, then even he will fight with Liu Guang. Shan Hongfei will fight Liu Guang, and I will fight Xia Cheng. . Custody beat him so hard that he didn't even dare to stretch out his head."
Just after Hua Zhonglong had finished speaking, she immediately shuddered. It turned out that it was Xinwang Zhao Zhen who gave him a fierce look and was so scared that Hua Zhonglong retracted her head and sat down consciously.
"With the current strength of the Wugong Mountains and Rivers Army, it may not be enough to completely blockade the Gan River and the Yangtze River. If you only recruit soldiers temporarily, I am afraid it will be too late. Well..." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen said thoughtfully.
"Not so. General Shan is on the tributary of the Ganjiang River. Liu Guang’s illness is eager and cannot be eliminated. It is better to take it slowly. The first task now should be to fix it with Peng You and Fan Ru to prevent the two parties from getting rid of it. They were drawn to the past by Xia Jiajun and Liu Guang. Only by dividing the rebel army can the great talents have the possibility of defeating them." Just after Fu Xuan's words were finished, the elder Wu beside him also got up and said, "My lord, my humble position seconded."
After continuing to discuss the issue of the Linjiang Army's defense, Xinwang Zhaozhen dismissed most of the officials in the Chamber, but left Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian, Elder Wu, and Yao Da. Obviously, the things to be discussed next are definitely extremely important and secret things.
After everyone left, the letter king Zhao Zhen asked Yao Da in a deep voice, "Yao Da. Have you ever investigated that matter clearly?"
"Haha." Although Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't say what the matter was, Yao Da knew everything in his heart. He just smiled and got up and said to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen: "The subordinates are about to tell the adults about this matter. Regarding this matter, the subordinates have made new progress. However, you still need to ask the adults to move to the official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department. The intelligence is inconvenient to bring out, and you need to check it there."
After listening to Yao Da's words, I believe Wang Zhao Zhen didn't feel anything wrong. In fact, this rule was put forward by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to Yao Da.
The Spy Department of the Zhaojiayi Army is different from ordinary yamen. In the hands of the Spy Department of the Zhaojiayi Army, it is in charge of the most secret intelligence of the entire Zhao Yanjun. The usual military information and general information can naturally be brought to the Jiedushi Mansion and submitted to the letter king Zhao Zhen for inspection, but there are also some extremely important information, but there must be no accidents.
Northerners are bold and seldom use small tricks, and they use big strategies, so they can often use brutal force to destroy the military forces in the south. Southerners are deceitful, and various tactics emerge in endlessly. Now the main force under the account of the letter king Zhao Zhen is actually facing Jin and Qi in the north. Therefore, the letter king Zhao Zhen must ensure the success of his strategy in the south, so the secrecy measures used even exceed that of the letter king army.
Therefore, the letter king Zhao Zhen asked Yao Da to set rules in the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department. For these extremely important materials, no one should bring out the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department's official residence. At the official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department, anyone who enters or exits the official residence must be searched by soldiers guarding the gate of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department's official residence, even Yao Da, the highest commander of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department.
The letter king Zhao Zhen didn't expect that this matter would have risen to such an important confidential nature, which is obviously no small matter. He nodded and said, "In that case, let's go to the official residence of the Zhaojia Yijun spy department. Speaking of which, I haven't visited you for a long time. I don't know these times, Zhaojia Yijun. What's the status of the spy department? Choose, Qianqian, and Master Wu! Let's go together. After I get this result, I will discuss countermeasures with you."
Hearing the instructions of Wang Zhaozhen, Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian, and Elder Wu could barely maintain the calmness on their faces, but Yao Da said with a smile on his face: "That dare to love you. Haha! Master Fu, Master Ji and It's been a long time since Lord Wu came to sit with me. The three adults who visited the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department will definitely make Pengxun, the official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department, shine.
Yao Da's words were extremely polite, but Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian, and Elder Wu's expressions became more and more unnatural after listening. The three of them opened up and seemed to want to say something, but glanced at Xinwang Zhaozhen, and finally closed their mouths, and honestly followed Xinwang Zhaozhen out of the chamber.
As soon as he walked out of the chamber, Wang Ji, the soldier leader of King Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, greeted him immediately and bowed his fist to Zhao Zhen. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Di, waved his hand and said, "We are going to the official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army Spy Department."
"Yes." Without any hesitation, after Wang Ji paid a very standard military salute to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, he turned around to handle matters for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. By the time Xinwang Zhaozhen and the others walked to the gate of Jiedu's mansion, Wang Zhen had already prepared all the mounts outside the gate, of course, including a small group of soldiers who were responsible for the safety of Xinwang Zhaozhen and others.
Since the last time Xinwang Zhaozhen was assassinated, the number of soldiers next to Xinwang Zhaozhen has doubled. Although Xinwang Zhaozhen did not think that any assassin could hurt him, she still did not refuse. This time I believe Wang Zhaozhen will also bring three literati such as Fu Xuan. Even if I believe Wang Zhaozhen's skill is good, he may not be able to protect the three of Fu Xuan. Therefore, Xin Wang Zhaozhen only glanced at the guards and did not say anything more. After getting on the horse, he took everyone directly to the official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army Spy Department.
The official residence of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department was built in the northernmost part of Jiangling City, a very remote corner. Around the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department's official residence, there was not even a household in it. The atmosphere is simply chilling. When Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian, and Elder Wu saw this scene, they all fought a cold war involuntarily. The letter king Zhao Zhen laughed and said to Yao Da, "Yao Da, you are still so deserted here!"
Yao Da smiled faintly, and said: "This is no way. The Zhaojiayi Army's spy department stays up late every night on business. The people who originally lived around were very disturbed, so they moved away early. In fact, the subordinates. I also hope that this place can be lively, just like an official residence of all the adults, with people coming and going every day, so lively."
Hearing Yao Da's words, Ji Qianqian immediately lowered her head and muttered to herself: "It's too disturbing? I'm afraid I was scared to move. Every night, who can eat it like a ghost crying and howling wolf? It can be lively here, then It's really a ghost. In Jiangling City, who wants to run to the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department without problems. Is it uncomfortable for me to find myself?" Ji Qianqian's mutter is very small, and I don't know if Yao Da heard it. , In short, Yao Da has always maintained a smiling face, without any change in expression.
Immediately, Xin Wang Zhaozhen took the lead to turn over and dismount, and led a bunch of people to walk directly to the door of the official residence of the Zhao Jiayi Army spy department. Of course, it is impossible for the guards of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to enter. But it doesn't matter. Their task is to ensure the safety of Xinwang Zhaozhen and others on the road. As for the Zhao family rebel spy department official residence, I am afraid that the whole Jiangling city is the safest place here.
The ordinary soldiers couldn't get in, but Wang Zi, as the leader of the soldiers, had to follow Wang Xin Zhao Zhen. Except for the letter king Zhao Zhen, everyone else had to go through a body search by soldiers guarding the gate of the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department official residence, even Yao Da himself was no exception.
After entering the mansion, under the leadership of Yao Da, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and others walked around the mansion. The official residence of the Zhao family's spy department was built like a maze, but Yao Da can still remember the route. If he wants to change to an ordinary person, he will be fainted after halfway.
After he spared nearly half of the incense, a faint scream + a scream that didn't resemble a ghost crying wolf howling sounded like a human voice, and the two of Fu Xuan and Ji Qianqian turned pale when they heard it. Even Elder Wu, who had experienced a lot, was taken aback, his cheeks began to tremble slowly, and it took a lot of work to barely maintain the fluctuations on his face. However, the faces of Xin Wang Zhaozhen and Wang Ji did not change at all. Xin Wang Zhaozhen turned to look at Yao Da and said, "What? Are you still doing things inside?"
Yao Da lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Yes, my lord, I caught a few spies on the outskirts of the city the day before yesterday. I'm now interrogating. I want to come, now it's about to come out."
After hearing Yao Da's words, the three of Fu Xuan immediately twitched their cheeks. The other two are okay. After all, Ji Qianqian is a girl, and her frightened body shook. The letter Wang Zhao Zhen seemed to understand something, nodded, and grabbed Ji Qianqian, who was shaking and frightened, and said nothing more.
He glanced at Fu Xuan and Ji Qianqian in his arms, then looked back at Elder Wu, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled and led them directly into the iron gate.
As soon as I entered the iron gate, I found that there were two burly men standing on the left and right sides of the iron gate. The two men had no clothes on their upper bodies, showing strong muscles, and they had a single sword hanging from their waists. The two of them stood there quietly, even when they saw the letter king Zhao Zhen and Yao Da, they just bowed their heads and clasped their fists in a salute without saying a word.
After entering the iron gate, there is another long and narrow aisle made of bluestone. Because there are no windows, it is illuminated by torches on the wall even though it is in broad daylight. It's just that the flames that continue to stir with the gusts of cloudy wind, and the cold breath, add a lot of eerie and terrifying feeling to this place.
Under Yao Da's leadership, a few people walked in the aisle for a short while, passing a small iron gate on the way, and a screaming scream was clearly heard from the iron gate. Obviously, the interrogation that Yao Da just said was conducted behind the small iron gate, but the small iron gate was tightly sealed, and there was no movement inside. But a scream from inside is enough to make people imagine the situation inside.
