- When leaving Taiyuan, Wang Xian also took away Mo Wen, Xu Huaiqing, Cheng Zheng and other generals, as well as Yang Rong and other generals who were the original left guard of Taiyuan. Now that the problem in Shanxi has been solved, the capital is the real critical point, Zhu Zhan
Of course, Ji wanted to hand over capable people to Wang Xian. Not only the generals, Zhu Zhanji also assigned Wang Xian five hundred of the most elite white-armored soldiers, who were dead soldiers trained by Zhu Zhanji himself. In addition to the five hundred Mongolian warriors
, 200 Wang Xian's own guards, and the accompanying team actually reached more than 1,200 riders, which was really majestic and full of momentum.
Just like this, we went all the way south. When Gaoping was in Gaoping, it turned out that Zhou Zhixian had received an order to hand over the official seal to the chief register temporarily, and to go to Beijing to make other calls. You know, Wang Xian had been here for less than a month. A person like him
Although the official position of the county magistrate is not high, he still needs to be transferred by the personnel department. Wang Xian was able to complete this process that usually takes several months in more than 20 days. This week, the county magistrate is facing Wang Xian.
Xian was so convinced that he fell to the ground and vowed to fuck him well.
Wang Xian was naturally not interested in this kind of verbal allegiance, but since it was a troubled time, he still encouraged Zhou Zhixian with gentle words. Oh, by the way, that person is no longer the county magistrate, and his surname is Zhou.
Full!
After accepting Zhou Man, the group of people left Shanxi on a starry night journey. After entering Henan, they were supposed not to be so ostentatious because Wang Xian was not an imperial envoy and was not allowed to bring such a large escort team. However, Wang Xian would rather let the white-armored soldier Etai Sun serve as an escort.
The prince is in the name of bringing gifts to the emperor, and the Mongolian cavalry is in the name of Princess Heshun who is bringing gifts to the emperor. Let them also go together.
Because the intelligence system he managed in a miserable way was still of some use, he reported to him that the Jiangbei army frequently practiced in the field and behaved abnormally. Youdao was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Wang Xian suddenly remembered that he was in the field last year.
That time in Wutai County, Shanxi Province, the army suddenly had a field training. As a result, they surrounded themselves in Wutai Mountain and almost failed to escape. In the crisis last year, the enemy had a careful calculation on the one hand, but he was too confident on the other.
On the one hand, today's situation is ten times more dangerous than back then. Of course, he cannot make the same mistake again. No matter how adventurous he is, there is no reason to make fun of his own life, not to mention that he still has children now.
So we headed south in a mighty way. After a few days, we crossed Henan and entered the territory of Zhili. Soon we arrived at Banqiao Station in Fengyang Prefecture. Banqiao Town, where Banqiao Station is located, was originally uninhabited. It was built by Emperor Hongwu.
During the Zhongdu period, hundreds of thousands of civilians were moved here and the town prospered for a while. However, later Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of building Zhongdu, and all the civilians left. Now the whole town is empty, except for this inn.
Still there.
When we came to this town, it was already dusk, and the war horses kept snoring, frightening the night birds. While Yang Rong comforted the horses, he whispered: "Sir, horses are smarter than humans.
I feel ten times worse, what is the danger in being so uneasy?"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. Years of life and death experience have given him a keen intuition of danger. After listening to Yang Rong's words, it confirmed the hidden uneasiness in his heart, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Give me the order, Level 1
alert!"
Following his order, the soldiers drew their bows and arrows, scouts were out in all directions, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
However, the scouts patrolled the entire town and did not see even a single person or any suspicious traces.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wang Xian frowned even more. Could it be that his feeling was wrong? It turned out to be a false alarm...
"Haha, the military advisor must be too tired," Cheng Zheng said with a smile.
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. Let's go to the post station." Wang Xian gave an expressionless command and rode his horse to Banqiao Post Station, which was already guarded by his men.
Generally speaking, the conditions of this kind of inn with no village in front and no store in the back are relatively simple. Unless they are in a hurry like them, they will try not to stay here. But what surprised them was that at this time, there were actually people living in the inn.
There were two groups of guests, but one lived in the East Cross Courtyard and the other lived in the West Cross Courtyard, leaving the largest and best courtyard in the middle vacant... as if they knew they were coming to stay.
Yi Cheng was also very enthusiastic and took them into the only empty courtyard. There were seven or eight rooms in that courtyard. Except for the main room, it was all a large house. Wang Xian and two hundred people could live there... As for the
The white-armored soldiers and Mongolian warriors were stationed in the front yard of the post house. The post chief also made arrangements to fetch water and cook for them, and also had people feed their horses. Wang Xian had lived in so many posts, and this was the first time he saw such enthusiasm.
The Yi Cheng is really a home away from home.
"Haha, Feng Yicheng, you are too polite." Wang Xian stood there with his hands stretched out and asked the guards to pat the dust off his body. He smiled and said to the Yicheng: "I see that your place is full, go and get busy.
Come on, don't neglect other officials."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yi Cheng said with a smile: "There are others to take care of you elsewhere. I'll let you settle down here first."
"Excuse me." Wang Xian nodded and said, "By the way, are you usually this busy here?"
"I can't help it, it's always like this. Even the lower officials are used to it." Yi Cheng said with a wry smile.
"How many years has Feng Yicheng worked here?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.
"I've been working... for many years..." Feng Yicheng said: "It's been six or seven years."
"Hey, that's not right." Zhou Man on the side was suddenly startled, which made Feng Yicheng tremble and asked quickly: "What's wrong, sir?"
"I remember five years ago, when I went to Shanxi to take office, wasn't the Yi Cheng here named Zhang?" Zhou Man said: "I stayed here once five years ago. Maybe I remembered it wrong."
"Haha, sir, I remember correctly..." Feng Yichen laughed dryly and said, "My mother passed away five years ago, and I was worried for a while. It was indeed a man named Zhang who worked for me for two years."
"What did I say?" Wang Xian suddenly said: "If you have anything to do, Yi Cheng, go and do your work. I'll wash up first."
"Okay, I won't disturb you, sir," Feng Yichen bowed and excused himself, "I'm going to see how the meal is done."
"Excuse me." Wang Xian smiled and nodded, but when the door closed, his smile immediately faded.
"Military advisor, the situation is indeed not good." It was Mo Wen who spoke, and he whispered: "I went out for a walk just now. The doors of the east and west courtyards were closed tightly, and there was no movement inside." Mo Wen frowned.
He said: "Now is the time to cook and eat. How can there be no reason for people in the whole yard to remain silent!"
"I really didn't expect them to be so crazy." Wang Xian threw the face towel into the guard's hand and said calmly: "Then Yi Cheng asked Zhou Man to cheat and let the truth out. We stayed in a shady hotel this time!
"
"Ah, sir, let's get out quickly!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Zheng's eyes widened with anger.
"Of course we have to fight out." Mo Wen said calmly: "But if the other party dares to attack us even though they know that we have more than a thousand fine cavalry, they must not be prepared with just this. I'm worried that there will be an army ambushing not far away. If we don't figure it out,
, running headlong into the encirclement can only lead to a dead end."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Cheng Zheng naturally knew that Mo Wen was very intelligent.
"I have already told my men to be more vigilant," Mo Wen whispered, "Then we will do this..."
"Okay, let's do it!" After hearing this, Wang Xian waved his fist heavily and said, "Let's see what tricks they can do!".
Even though this post station is located in the wilderness, the efficiency of work is extremely high. After less than an hour, the post Cheng led people to deliver meals to Wang Xian and others. Wang Xian and his generals were more than a dozen.
Stir-fried vegetables and white-flour steamed buns were served. The soldiers below were served cages of hot white-flour steamed buns and buckets of thick spicy spicy soup. The soldiers, who had been hungry for a long time, swallowed their saliva.
"The steamed stuffed buns stuffed with pork and green onions, and the hot spicy spicy soup are all enough!" Yi Cheng shouted to the soldiers. The soldiers rushed forward in a rush, grabbing each other, and in a blink of an eye, they snatched up all the steamed buns and scooped up the soup.
It was all gone. Then they happily gathered together in small groups to eat.
Seeing them eating without warning, a sneer flashed across Feng Yicheng's lips. He went in again and saw Wang Xian also eating, so he declined the meal and said he was going to Xikuoyuan to have a look.
The door of the west courtyard was closed tightly. Feng Yicheng knocked several times quickly and slowly before opening a crack and letting him in. Then he closed the door tightly again. When Feng Yicheng went in, he saw that the courtyard was full of men in black holding sharp knives.
, but he was not surprised at all. Instead, he straightened his back and all humility disappeared from his face.
"Master Qianhu." All the men in black saluted him.
Feng Yicheng...oh no, Feng Qianhu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let's do it after a cup of tea, no one will be left alive!"
"Yes!" The men in black muttered.
"Sir Qianhu." A man wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan, who stood out among a group of people in black, asked: "Are you sure you saw them eat it?"
"Mr. Wei, are you suspicious of my eyes?" Feng Qianhu said displeased.
"Of course I don't doubt Qianhu's eyes." The man closed his fan and said calmly: "But Master Qianhu may not know Wang Xian very well. The next few times he set up a sure-kill situation, he managed to escape incredibly.
The beast is extremely cunning and difficult to calculate, so you have to be extremely careful!"
"That's because you are too stupid, so stop talking about it all the time." Feng Qianhu chuckled and said, "You have always heard of Sun Tzu's saying, 'Ten principles of encirclement,' right? If you hadn't insisted on doing this in vain,
Our two guards and 10,000 troops directly set up an ambush in the town, and swarmed them and eliminated them."
"Feng Qianhu also saw it. They noticed it as soon as they entered the town. If my men were not good at hiding, they would have been discovered by them long ago. They are all cavalry. If they turned back immediately, how would they give you a chance to unite the army?"
The man was clearly Wei Wuque, who had escaped from Guangling. His last failure had made him calmer and more cautious.
"Hmph..." Feng Qianhu had to admit that what he said made sense, and said in a low voice: "This is the action of our Fengyang Guards. You, the special envoy of King Zhao, are just consulting. Don't get the situation wrong."
"Alas..." Wei Wuque sighed. He didn't know why he met a bunch of stupid teammates everywhere. Just because these guys wanted to capture Wang Xian, it was not only an insult to Wang Xian, but also to him.
insult.
But Feng Qianhu felt that Wei Wuque had calmed down, so he stopped talking nonsense, held his breath and concentrated on adjusting his state, preparing for the massacre later...
