Chapter 587: The Seven-Day Leap Forward, The Mountains Coil Snake
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Given his status, knowing too much is not always a good thing. Wang Qi is a smart man.
Of course, it's okay to make guesses in your mind. He knows the identity of Jiao Hong, the second brother of Jiao Ming, the deputy general of Fanyu Mountain, and the army commander in the rear.
He suddenly ran into this small valley and refused to leave despite the rain. Naturally, he did not come here to take refuge and do useless work. The person he has attracted now is at least very meaningful to focus on Jiao Hong and Jiao Ming. Therefore, combining these
In the past few days, Wang Qi was convinced that Jiao Hong's words were related to something. The person next to him was most likely someone from the north...
When Jiao Hong heard this, he stood up suddenly, and then rushed out of the tent, staring at the man behind Wang Qi. He did have a red scarf tied on his head, and besides his cloth robe
, and the pants are all the same color of cyan. They are exactly what the person we agreed to wear will wear!
Looking at his face again, Jiao Hong was immediately shocked, "Liu Huwei, it's you..." The visitor was no stranger to Jiao Hong. When the King of Song became associated with the Jiao brothers, Liu Huwei was one of the witnesses.
In other words, he can be regarded as one of the benefactors of the Jiao brothers. Although the two of them had never spoken a word before.
"Brother Jiao, it's been a long time." Liu Zhuo clasped his fists with both hands and showed a comfortable smile. He finally arrived.
A kind of excitement filled Jiao Hong's heart, "Brother Liu, little brother..." This is one of his family's benefactors, and he is also one of the close guards among the personal guards of the Song Dynasty. In terms of status alone, he is far better than the average school captain.
, Zhonglang will all come higher.
"Please, please come in quickly." Jiao Hong was happy and excited at the same time, and quickly led Liu Zhuo into the tent. He followed Liu Zhuo closely, and when he was about to enter the tent, he stopped and looked back to the other side.
The personal guard named Huang San winked, "Go and call Old Wu back."
Old Wu was the personal guard who was squatting at another point. Now that Liu Zhuo had arrived, Old Wu naturally no longer had to squat there.
Huang... nodded, then turned around and ran towards the woods not far away. Only then did Jiao Hong enter the tent with Wang Qi and others.
Liu Zhuo sat obediently in the middle of the row of stone piers that Jiao Hong and others moved into the tent before it rained. In the past two days, they slept on this stone with a board on top.
"Brother Jiao, I wonder how things are going with your brother?"
"Brother Liu, don't worry. As soon as the news comes to me, we will take action immediately." Jiao Hong said firmly. Come to think of it, his eldest brother Jiao Ming also holds the rank of captain after all, and is one of the two members of Fanyu Mountain.
One of the deputy generals invited Chen Lian and Xu You to have a drink with his deputy generals, which was not an easy task.
This is not a front line, just a fortress. No matter how awesome Chen Lian is, he has two of the five battalion troops at the head of the battalion, and additionally controls the auxiliary troops. He will not accept the invitation from his deputy Jiao Ming, who is also in charge of two troops.
I refuse casually. Because the relationship between Chen Jiao and Chen on the mountain is relatively harmonious.
Jiao Ming was more at odds with Xu You, who was also a deputy general.
They are all deputy generals guarding the mountain, and they all have the title of school captain. Why does Jiao Ming control two, and he can only control one? Of course Xu You is not satisfied. And it is this situation that better highlights Chen Lian
leadership advantages.
After a short time, Huang San and the tiger came back.
"Brother Liu, this -" Jiao Hong called Liu Zhuo and glanced at the five people present. He was asking for permission to introduce his identity.
After sitting down, Xia carefully looked at the five attendants present. Judging from their faces, although these five people were not clear yet, they all guessed something. Their faces were a little uneasy. They nodded lightly.
He raised his head, clasped his fists and said in a clear voice: "Liu Zhuo, I will be appointed as the bodyguard of the Song Dynasty Prince's Palace."
When Wang Qi and the other five people reacted, they were all dumbfounded. Although they had guessed a few things in their hearts, it was completely unreasonable. How could Liu Zhuo be as thorough as he is now?
"It's really... King Song..." After a moment, the bitterness on each of their faces became even stronger. Although the five of them were a little suspicious, they still believed in their hearts that the Jiao brothers would not be unwise enough to betray the imperial court.
, because the current situation of King Song is really not good.
Jiao Ming has the rank of captain. Once the army expands, he will immediately become a captain with real power. Why is he so unwise?
The five of them were all Jiao Hong's confidants and cronies. Although they felt that Jiao Hong was leading them to their death, their feelings were there and they looked at each other and recognized each other.
"By the way, Brother Liu. Did the King of Song really spend a lot of money to invite people from the Northern Han Dynasty? What kind of capable people can come out of such a small land?" Five personal followers stayed behind, and Jiao Hong prepared to go back to the mountain alone.
It wasn’t that I really couldn’t trust Wang Qi and the others, but just in case. Before leaving, I thought of a rumor and asked Liu Zhuo about it.
The corner of Liu Zhuo's mouth twitched. The twenty-three-year-old Zhu Biao made him feel very proud, "Isn't that true? You will see him soon."
"What? He led the troops in this battle?" Jiao Hong was shocked. "Didn't he say that the King of Song wanted him to lead the entire army?"
"The whole army of bullshit was wiped out. The day after he arrived, Pei Lun took action. How can he lead the whole army if he doesn't know anyone!"
Dong'an County reported an emergency. Previously, there was a delicate balance between the military forces of the King of Song and Pei Lun. The King of Song did not take the initiative to increase troops in Dong'an because he was afraid that the balance would be broken and Pei Lun would have to take action, thereby provoking a war.
Now, it was Pei Lun who took the initiative. The King of Song must immediately increase his troops in Dong'an County, otherwise he would have to wait until Pei Lun's army came to him. He also had to beware of the Jin army behind him, send more troops, and then insist on letting Zhu Biao
It is obviously unrealistic to command the entire army.
And Zhu Biao also 'saw the interest' and took the initiative to 'select' 30,000 people.
Jiao Hong felt cold in his heart. His future with the King of Song was already bleak, but now that he had done something like this, his hope was even slimmer.
Although the main force of the Prince's Army has moved to Dong'an, there are only fifty or sixty thousand people left in Dongcheng County. If thirty thousand people are killed first and caught off guard, how can they reverse the trend.
"Alas..." He let out a long sigh and said to Wang Qiwu, whose face became more bitter, "I was the one who hurt you."
"However, the King of Song Dynasty was kind to my brothers for saving their mother. Even if our bodies are broken into pieces, we must repay this kindness. Now that the matter has come to this, I, the Jiao family, owe you a debt."
Jiao Hong himself no longer had confidence in his future.
Liu Zhuo looked quite embarrassed. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word to cheer him up. Like Jiao Hong, he had the same lack of confidence, otherwise he wouldn't have said those depressing words just now.
However, he knew the background of King Song. With King Tang here, it was always a good retreat.
"Don't be discouraged, there is still Northern Xinjiang."
Thirty thousand Songyun, who had been trekking hard for seven days in the high mountains, finally arrived at the scheduled location thirty miles away from Fanyu Mountain at noon that day, and quietly lurked among several connected unknown hills.
In a relatively flat woodland.
Under a tall green pine, the green crown of the tree covered everyone's heads like a big umbrella. Four spears held up a cloth curtain and built a simple tent. Zhu Biao, Chen An, Lu Tong, and Zhang He
, Wu Boniu, Zhang Fuyang and other generals in the army gathered here.
"Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief", Liu Zhuo passed through the solemn formation of guards, leaving Wang Qi and the other five outside, and ran into the tent with rain all over him. He raised his hands and said loudly: "My subordinates have already
I have found Jiao Hong, and now he is returning to Fanyu Mountain to deliver a message." After saying that, he wiped the rainwater from his face and threw it away.
The corners of Zhu Biao's lips raised immediately, and finding Jiao Hong proved that things were still going according to the original plan, although he had planned the plan in less than two quarters of an hour. The little moves of the Jiao brothers did not
Suspicious by Chen Lian and Xu You, he was already 90% sure that the army's hard work for so many days was not in vain. "What happened to those five people?" His cold eyes glanced at Liu Zhuo who was following him.
Zhu Biao asked puzzledly as the five people came behind him. Even if you want to lead the way, you don't need five people, right?
"General, these five people are Jiao Hong's confidants. They and Jiao Hong were squatting outside the mountain together before. After the meeting, Jiao Hong personally returned to Fanyu Mountain to report, and left the five of them behind -"
Liu Zhuo's words had some unfinished meaning, but Zhu Biao nodded understandingly.
Liu Zhuo's appearance will inevitably expose the entire plan to the five people. Although Jiao Hong believes in them, he is also afraid of anything going wrong. After all, this is a matter of great importance. The situation of King Song is very bad, but everyone understands
of.
At this time, the future and fate of the Jiao brothers were at stake, so they had to take a gamble. They were left behind, and Liu Zhuo took these five people to the army.
"Then let them stay in the army first, and then let them return to the army after taking Fanyu Mountain." Zhu Biao immediately understood the cause and effect, and immediately withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to these five unimportant people, and looked at Liu
Zhuo then asked: "Has Jiao Hong set a time? When can our army march?"
"No. Jiao Ming would not easily entertain Chen Lian and Xu You before getting the exact information. So Jiao Hong just guessed that he should be captured around the end of the Shen Dynasty." As long as he didn't get it.
Jiao Ming will not take action until Zhu Biao's troops have arrived. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the specific time of the action.
After Liu Zhuo explained a little, he then replied, "The Prince's Army did not expect that our army would raid Fanyu Mountain. There were no scouts at the foot of the mountain or outside. But for the sake of safety, Jiao Hong said that our army would approach Fanyu Mountain."
, it is best to cut in from the mountains on the east side. Jiao Hong said that there is a valley ten miles away from the northeast corner of this place, which is very suitable for hiding the army, and it is also close to the front village of Fanyu Mountain, less than ten miles away."
"He means to let our troops lurk there and then wait for news from him."
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, then walked another ten miles to the northeast, and he was almost within easy reach of Fanyu Mountain Front Village. After a moment of consideration, he agreed to the proposal, "Send the order, the whole army marches urgently——" (To be continued .Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
