Chapter 1241: Interesting opponent, plan ahead
After launching the rebellion, Zheng Zhongfu was granted the title of Councilor for Political Affairs by Emperor Mingzong who had just taken office. He was soon promoted to Ping Zhangshi, the Minister of Zhongshu, and his subordinate, Ping Zhangshi. His power was unrivaled, and he was truly the number one civil and military figure.
Li Gao, who also launched a rebellion, was also highly valued, but he was envious of Zheng Zhongfu's power and status. In his opinion, if several people sent troops to rebel together, the fruits of victory should be shared together.
But now, Zheng Zhongfu has become the number one person in the imperial court, but he is far inferior. Isn't this unfair?
Therefore, less than a year later, Li Gao once again tried to rebel and usurp the throne!
Unfortunately, he was facing Zheng Zhongfu.
Zheng Zhongfu teamed up with other military generals to directly suppress Li Gao. From then on, the Goryeo court changed its past style and began to be ruled by warriors.
It was precisely because he had God's perspective and knew the news that Shen Tang figured out the cause of the matter almost immediately in his mind.
His troops have obviously become the swords used by Zheng Zhongfu and others.
If his soldiers and horses directly go to war with Zheng Zhongfu, Li Gao and others in Anbei Mansion, then even if Zheng Zhongfu and others win, they will not get any credit or even any rewards due to the suppression of the civil servants above the imperial court. .
However, if these soldiers and horses of his arrive in Kaijing and even make some noise, if Zheng Zhongfu and others encircle and suppress him again, the result will naturally be different.
Firstly, it is the merit of King Qin, and secondly, it can also make the court pay more attention to warriors, thereby improving the status of military commanders.
Raising the bandits with self-respect is naturally a deception of the king. However, Zheng Zhongfu and others had the courage to directly rebel and depose the king a few years later. Now these things are not a big deal.
"Not bad!"
Shen Tang said with a smile, "This Zheng Zhongfu is indeed a good opponent!"
What happened this time was indeed interesting. Shen Tang could conclude that Zheng Zhongfu had guessed his purpose, and since Pu Chasuo's troops had been discovered, the other two troops must also be under their surveillance. Inside.
After all, this is Goryeo, and anyone can become their spy. Even if Shen Tang's soldiers and horses are hidden in secret, as long as the other party is willing and prepared, it will not be difficult to discover them. Even if they have been monitoring them, it will not be difficult. difficulty.
And the reason why he allowed himself to go so confidently was also because of this reason.
Three thousand soldiers and horses could cause a lot of trouble, but it is completely unrealistic to say that these soldiers and horses could directly capture Kaijing or even overthrow the Goryeo Kingdom.
Therefore, I am now very suitable to be Zheng Zhongfu’s knife.
If things continue like this, I am afraid that when Shen Tang arrives in Beijing, he will be in despair.
When he arrived in Kaijing, Zheng Zhongfu's goal was achieved, and his soldiers and horses were of no use. In other words, the final use was to let Zheng Zhongfu exchange for military exploits.
When I want to leave, I am afraid that I will face an encirclement and suppression by Zheng Zhongfu's tens of thousands of troops.
He does have some strategy, and his troops can be considered strong, but in the end, there are only three thousand people.
But what about Zheng Zhongfu?
It would not be unusual for him to unite his generals and gather ten or twenty times the number of soldiers and horses.
In addition, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in Kaijing, so he almost had to face an encirclement and suppression by a hundred thousand troops.
In the enemy's territory, unless Shen Tang is a god, he will never be able to fly!
But now things become interesting. Zheng Zhongfu realized that his purpose was true, but he also noticed where Zheng Zhongfu was.
In this way, the two sides are playing a chess game to see who has better means!
After figuring it out, Shen Tang started planning secretly.
First of all, although this is my own guess, and it is very likely to be true, there may not be another possibility.
Therefore, first rely on mobility to get rid of the opponent's detection as much as possible, and avoid entering some dangerous places.
As long as they are prepared, even if the opponent is ambushed or surrounded, it is not difficult for the three troops to escape.
In addition, if your guess is indeed true, you need to prepare now!
He can be sure that the troops of Zheng Zhongfu and others will arrive soon, but they will only take real action when they cause trouble in Kaijing.
Therefore, as long as Zheng Zhongfu's goal has not been achieved, they are safe.
In this way, Shen Tang also has more time to plan.
As for whether to have a real battle with this hero in the end, Shen Tang has not decided yet. He can only wait until then and see the situation and situation.
Not long after, Shen Tang took a pen and paper and started writing quickly!
When the three secret letters were written, they recruited people to send them out.
Moreover, the most important thing now is that this simple information network of ours should not be completely destroyed by the enemy. As long as the information can be transmitted normally, then our confidence will naturally be greater.
After setting everything down, Shen Tang's small team continued to move forward unhurriedly.
In the next two or three days, the replies from the three troops confirmed Shen Tang's suspicion.
Because they would soon arrive at the previously scheduled location, but neither Li Gao nor Zheng Zhongfu had any intention of taking action.
"How far is it from Yinzhou?"
On the carriage, Shen Tang asked Tuo Junjing.
In the past few days, Tuo Junjing has become accustomed to answering Shen Tang's questions directly as long as they are not secret information, thus saving himself the trouble.
Think about it, one day before, he made cold remarks to Shen Tang, and the words he mentioned were even more disrespectful. What followed was that he was starved for two days!
Moreover, what was even more hateful was that Shen Tang was right in front of him, enjoying the food.
He never wanted to go through this kind of experience again.
Fortunately, almost everyone knew what Shen Tang asked. Even if he didn't answer, he could still get the answer by just asking a few people. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all and answered whatever Shen Tang asked. say what.
"We set off from Lianzhou early yesterday morning and crossed the Datong River this morning. If everything goes well, we will arrive in Yinzhou at sunset."
Shen Tang nodded. When he arrived, the three soldiers and horses should be about the same. They might even be faster than him.
In this way, the army can join together tomorrow.
However, Shen Tang's previous plan was to detour eastward and go to Kaijing along the Ahu Feiling Mountains, but now, since Zheng Zhongfu and others have secretly 'opened the way' for him, of course there is no need to go that far.
Just go straight ahead through Chengzhou, Guzhou, and go straight to Kaijing.
