Chapter 1082 Just swaying bandits? Chen Xi's real purpose
"My dear nephew, I am sorry and obedient. If you are harmed by thieves, it will be like damaging my thighs and humilis, and I can't help but make my heart and bones suffer... But we still have important things in mind, and we must calmly think about it before we have a chance."
I can repay your kindness."
In addition to Yunlong's angry and resentful curses in the house, another person spoke to comfort him. After a while, the door of the house creaked open, and Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu Wan were at the door.
In the new year, the two of them saw a man with eyes like autumn water and red lips, who looked a bit like a Taoist priest coming out. However, this man's face was as dark as water now, as if he was covered by a layer of frost, and he was missing a few points.
The Taoist cultivator was as humble and elegant as ever, but there was a ferocious hatred between his brows.
And this man was also one of the leaders of the joint effort to conquer the three mountain villages on Jingdong Road. He was also Xiao Tang's mortal enemy in Bianliang, Tokyo, but now he has become Chen Xizhen, whom Zhu Chaofeng, Zhu Yongqing and others in the village rely on.
Seeing Chen Xizhen walking out of the door, Zhu Chaofeng immediately stepped forward and said: "Chen Daozi, although Commander Yun and his younger brother led all the troops to fight against the bandits and worked hard on the battle, they were defeated this time. Even Yun
Unfortunately, the commander also died in battle. The three mountain bandits will never give up. How can they fight against powerful enemies? They still have to fight for their livelihood..."
Chen Xizhen suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a calm and calm look, and said to Zhu Chaofeng: "Quan Yu, the leader of the strong bandits in the two mountains of Qingzhou, is indeed very scheming and cannot be underestimated. Now there is another Song army from Liangshan."
, Wu Yong and others are willing to work together with him. Although they have lost the opportunity, they have to retreat. But don’t be alarmed if the court is at ease. Since the dog girl is married to your younger brother, naturally I will be in the same boat with the Zhu family.
We must work together with your village to fend off the powerful invaders.
What's more, I also invited the husband who returned home from Bianjing Jinyi, together with a few soldiers and horses, just in time for a plan. Once the bandit army wins, it will be a time of rampage and arrogance. We only need to strengthen the stronghold wall and lure those
The thieves marched to attack. At that time, they were taught not to be wary of the powerful soldiers coming from behind. Then they would be captured alive. One day, they would take Quan Yu and Song Jiang and take them to Tokyo together... They could still teach the Zhu family
The village is famous all over the world."
Chen Xizhen was indeed eloquent, and his words made Zhu Chaofeng feel at ease, and he said: "I'm so lucky to have Chen Daozi's help. I think the two mountains of Qingzhou and the grass bandits in Liangshan should be destroyed."
When he was talking to Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu Wannian about the rectification of the village's defense, how to mobilize the existing troops to defend against the enemy, and to appease some troops whose morale was low due to the disastrous defeat, Chen Xizhen saw that there were other people of his own accompanying him.
He came forward and said, "I'd like to inform Chen Daozi that the husband you invited and the Jiedu envoy have arrived at the entrance of Zhuangzi. The villain has sent people to look after him and asked him to rest in the hall of the main palace. He just waits.
Chen Daozi went to discuss important matters with that gentleman."
Chen Xizhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said: "Oh? That man can't be lazy. I will take a little rest in court. Let me have a clear discussion with that husband first. When the big thing is finalized, I will make a recommendation and teach him.
You get to know that husband."
Zhu Chaofeng also knew that Chen Xizhen was very scheming, and he seemed to have had some interactions with the powerful official in the court who relied on him in the Palace Commander's Mansion behind Bianjing. Although he was the host here, he was only a local wealthy man, not a wealthy man.
Since Chen Xizhen was involved in this line, it would be safer for him to go and discuss it with the husband alone at first. Therefore, he kept saying that Chen Daozi worked hard, and he was lucky to be able to share the worries of the village.
.
Chen Xizhen said a few more polite words, then said goodbye to Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu Wannian for the time being, and went to visit the person he invited. However, when Chen Xizhen just turned around and left, his expression suddenly darkened again, and he was secretly worried.
Said: Zhujiazhuang's group, except for Zhu Yongqing and Zhu Wannian, are really capable, but the three people under Zhu Chaofeng have good eyesight and weak skills. To put it bluntly, they are all incompetent. It's just that the terrain of Zhuangzi is important, so they can do it here.
To recruit people to conquer the bandit army, and the wise son-in-law Yongqing is the younger brother of Zhu Chaofeng, I have to give him a little favor, otherwise how could I have the patience to deal with Zhu Chaofeng!?
It’s just that Chen Xizhen didn’t expect that the previous battle would be a disastrous defeat. According to his original plan, Yun Tianbiao, Zhu Yongqing and other generals who were good at fighting would be the first to fight fiercely with the enemy, followed by Bozhou and Dongping Prefecture.
The help from the government and other officers and soldiers has already become a horn. When the battle with the enemy is at its most stalemate, he can call on the unexpected reinforcements of the thieves to intercept and kill them from the rear. If they are unprepared, they will be able to defeat the thieves.
military.
However, Chen Xizhen did not expect that among the three mountain strongholds, there were also people with profound knowledge and ingenuity. He immediately mobilized the green forest soldiers and horses of the three strongholds on Jingdong Road to unite together, and then sent out separate troops to attack Bozhou and Bozhou.
The headquarters of Dongping Prefecture cut off the two wings of his own troops. As for Yun Tianbiao, who led his troops on a long-distance attack, he immediately chose to launch a night attack on the Sanshan Company Camp to rob the camp, but was ambushed and annihilated by the rebels... Chen Xi
Zhen also knows that Yun Tianbiao is by no means a fool. He chose to attack at night and heard that he had internal help. It is said that he must attack the enemy's weak point immediately. But the co-leader of Shushan, "Quan Yu", Liangshan Songjiang, Wu Yong
How could that group of people predict beforehand that their own troops would rob the camp, and then use the plan to achieve a great victory... This was a strange thing that Chen Xizhen couldn't even guess at.
And his confidants Zhen Xianglin, Zhen Dayi, Gou Ying and others may have been killed and captured in the chaos. I am afraid that their lives may not be saved... Chen Xizhen thought about this and also
He couldn't help but feel resentful. Among the helpers he recruited from Yuanbi Village, only Gou Huan, Fan Chenglong and others were left. Of course, these blood feuds must be avenged, but Chen Xizhen also knew very well that he had to stay calm and could not let them go.
The anger in his heart affects his judgment on the deployment of the battle situation.
Now I still have a chance. Even if I lose some people, it will not hinder the great things I really want to accomplish... Chen Xizhen secretly thought that although he must sweep away the most powerful people on Jingdong Road,
Several strong bandits were used as qualifications for him to be reused in the court. Chen Xizhen never planned to make contributions to the country by leading troops to fight in his life. The Song Dynasty used culture to control military affairs and only became a
What hope can the marching generals have?
The so-called military exploits of gangsters are just a very important stepping stone for Chen Xizhen.
In Chen Xizhen's opinion, how did Gao Qiu, who although he looked down on him very much, now had to rely on his power, become successful? To put it bluntly, he could kick a few good kicks and make people angry. This rogue boy once again had the opportunity to serve as an official.
Before he even ascended the throne, he worked as a helper in his palace, which allowed him to rise rapidly in the officialdom. Now he can actually be the Sanya Taiwei in charge of the 800,000-strong imperial army in Bianliang, Tokyo. He is almost the best in martial arts.
important position of a minister;
And how did Xiao Tang, who had always had a lot of conflicts with him, and now the two sides had almost turned into a fight to the death, so that he could rise in rank and rank in the court? Just based on his past accumulated military exploits? To put it bluntly, isn't it?
That guy sang many good songs in the Jinfeng Yulu Tower he founded, which made officials who were very passionate about music and tunes repeatedly promote him?
Chen Xizhen also knows that he just lacks the opportunity to be summoned by the officials to meet him, and he also has the capital to make the emperor favor him generously. Chen Xizhen is confident that what can make officials trust him is his own way.
technique.
Today, Fangzi has become obsessed with adhering to Taoism. He asked the courtiers to honor him as the "Taojun Emperor" and claimed to be the leader of the Taoism. Moreover, Taoist priests whom he trusted were promoted to important positions. In recent years, they have carried out extensive construction projects.
He built Yuqing Heyang Palace (later renamed Yuqing Shenxiao Palace), Baozhen Temple, Shangqing Baolu Palace, and ordered all Tianning temples in the country to be named Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace to enshrine the statues of the Immortal Emperor and the Qinghua Emperor.
In the past two years, he built the Shenxiao Palace in the capital, and personally wrote the "Records of the Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace". He also issued an edict to collect ancient and modern Taoist affairs, compile the "Dao History" and "Tao Canon", and was about to recruit more Taoists.
Chen Xizhen is a person who cultivates the Dharma intensively. He boasts that he has added annotations to the Tao Te Ching, Shen Tong Qi, Yin Fu Jing, Wu Zhen Pian, Qing Hua Mi Lu and other family classics to practice internal and external alchemy.
With the secret method of talismans, coupled with his way of dealing with people and how to manipulate people's feelings, how could officials who highly zealously admire Taoism not put him in high regard?
I have worked so hard and endured so far. When I finally get what I want, why should I look at Gao Qiu's face again? Even Xiao Tang... I don't have to worry about coveting his power in the court, and I will eventually be able to
Looking for an opportunity for him to complain...
Chen Xizhen was thinking in his mind. He had already arrived in front of the hall door of Zhujiazhuang Lord's Mansion. When he pushed the door in, he saw two people sitting in the hall. One of the two people was wearing a military uniform and served as a court soldier.
The man was dressed vigorously, while the other man was dressed luxuriously and was sitting at the head. That person was Ximen Qing, who had been promoted by Cai Jing and got an important position as a prison officer on Jingdong Road.
