Unexpectedly, Gao Ying was defeated so quickly. Gao Ying was filled with regret and chagrin. Of course, he knew that his shortcoming was that he did not have complete control over the army, so he wanted to use external forces. The Khitan Japanese Company had already been persuaded by him to agree to send troops, but it was all Wang Junlin Dog's fault.
A thief spoils a good thing.
Now think about it, in the past three years, every time his good deeds were ruined by Wang Junlin, thinking of this, Gao Ying hated Wang Junlin so much that he wanted to cut him into pieces in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
To be honest, if time could go over again and Gao Ying thought twice, he probably wouldn't have guessed that Wang Junlin turned him upside down with a thousand people in Bingzhou. He really couldn't believe that tens of thousands of troops and Japanese troops
Tens of thousands of people were chasing Wang Junlin at the same time, but they were unable to kill Wang Junlin and his party. To this day, they still don’t know where they are hiding. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is too unbelievable. In fact, only Wang Junlin and his entourage were killed.
Junlin knew that without Nie Xiaoyu's precise calculations and mobilization of troops, who repeatedly passed through the gaps in the army that besieged them, their few people would have been besieged and killed by the enemy long ago.
He had just taken control of Bingzhou, but was about to lose it. You can imagine how bad Gao Ying was feeling at this moment, and he felt like eating Wang Junlin alive.
After resting for half a night, when it was dawn, Gao Ying ordered the entire army to march quickly to Taiyuan City, making sure to reach Pyongyang City before dark today.
At the same time, Gao Ying had already sent people to rush to Taiyuan City in advance, and sent an order to the guard general Dong Qingyun to seize the time to prepare for the long-term defense of Taiyuan City, and ordered the walls to be cleared within a hundred miles of Taiyuan City.
…
…
"Sir, Wang Long sent someone over, saying that all the people sent by Gao Ying have been captured, and sent someone to send them over." Still in the courtyard of the Wu family, Shan Xiongxin came in and reported to Wang Junlin in a low voice.
.
When Wang Junlin heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Send the people Wang Long sent directly to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu knows what to do."
Shan Xiongxin agreed, clasped his fists in salute, turned and left.
…
…
Tens of thousands of troops marched in a hurry. After noon, the confidants who had been sent in advance rushed back. However, after seeing Gao Ying, their lips pursed and they did not dare to speak for a long time.
Without saying a word, Gao Ying picked up a whip and slapped him hard on the face. Only then did his close subordinates tell him that something strange had happened in Taiyuan City. The news he found out was that Han Wang Yang Hao hosted a banquet for Dong Qingyun and other civil and military officials.
At the banquet, Captain Wang Jinbao was ordered to set up an ambush and kill Dong Qingyun, Yu Chengjie and other generals. Then all the officials and high-ranking families loyal to Gao Ying were destroyed. Almost all of his confidants left in Taiyuan City were killed by Yang Hao.
They took Wang Jinbao out and killed them, and also killed the family members of these officials.
Gao Ying's face suddenly turned livid, his eyes were wide open, and his heart was full of murderous intentions for Yang Hao, and his teeth were gritting.
This puppet King of Han who was supported by himself had obviously underestimated him in the past, and he actually had a military central general like Wang Jinbao.
No, just Yang Hao and Wang Jinbao couldn't accomplish such a big thing. He hurriedly asked: "Is the Wang family involved in this matter?"
The confidant quickly said: "My subordinates specifically inquired about it. On the surface, the Wang family was not involved, but Yang Hao did not touch anyone in the Wang family. I guess that the Wang family secretly acquiesced in Yang Hao's actions."
When Gao Ying heard this, he took a long breath. He knew very well the principles of dealing with a wealthy family like the Wang family. Yang Liang was a rebel, and Yang Hao was the son of Yang Liang. Later, he would also use Yang Hao's banner to rebel. The Wang family would always
It is possible to fall to the imperial court, but if he surrenders to the imperial court together with Yang Hao, it is absolutely impossible. And he thought of the deeper meaning of Wang's acquiescence in Yang Hao's actions-could Wang be unwilling to be lonely?
He wanted to use Yang Hao as his puppet to control the world.
"Is there any other important news in Taiyuan City, especially about the Wang family?" These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gao Ying continued to ask.
"There are rumors in the city that Wang Long, the leader of the Wang family, is critically ill. Now the Wang family is in charge of Wang Xiong, the second master of the Wang family." The confidant did not dare to forget what Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu told him, and said it at the right time according to the script designed by Nie Xiaoyu.
come out.
It turns out that Wang Xiong controlled the Wang family. No wonder something happened in Taiyuan City. Wang Long would never do this if he had the temperament. But it makes sense that Wang Xiong is ambitious and wants to compete for the world. In this way
, things in Taiyuan City have taken a turn for the better. At worst, they can share Bingzhou with the Wang family. Moreover, this will also get the full support of the Wang family. It is not impossible to defend Taiyuan and even counterattack Yang Su. As for driving the imperial army out of Bingzhou and fighting against Yang Su, it is not impossible.
How the Wang family divides the cake can only be done one step at a time.
These thoughts suddenly appeared in Gao Ying's mind. Gao Ying couldn't help but said: "I was having a headache just now about how to drag the Wang family into the water. I didn't expect the Wang family to take the initiative to participate. God help me."
…
…
After nightfall, Gao Ying led an army of 70,000 to the outside of Taiyuan City. Wang Long sent a member of the Wang family who was originally loyal to Wang Xiong to come to meet Gao Ying secretly with the so-called Wang Xiong's intentions. After a confidential discussion, Gao Ying
It seemed to Ying that his previous suspicion was immediately confirmed and he ordered: "Choose five thousand elites to follow me into the city. The others will camp outside the city to rest and wait for orders."
The generals accepted the order solemnly.
A general saluted and said: "Mr. Gao, after entering the city, should you go back to your residence first or go to the Han Dynasty Palace?"
Gao Ying sneered and said, "Go directly to Wang's house."
Five thousand elites surrounded Gao Ying and slowly entered the city with neat steps. Several elders of the Wang family greeted him at the city gate. He realized that Wang Xiong did not greet him in person, so he snorted dissatisfiedly, but in the end he still had a smile on his face.
He entered the city with a smile, followed by his five thousand guards.
When he reached the city gate and stood still with his feet inside, Gao Ying suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. This feeling was very strange, and it came very suddenly and strangely. Anyway, this feeling was not good.
There was a premonition of impending disaster.
The thoughts of big men are different from those of ordinary people. Their intuitions are usually very accurate. Often the emergence of an unusual thought means that some unpredictable change has occurred. If you are more superstitious, an abnormal wind will cause a sudden change.
An inexplicable rain or a sudden thunder will be regarded as a warning from God.
The difference is that some big shots are stubborn and have a vague intuition, but they feel that they can reverse their destiny, so they ignore their intuition. Of course, the endings of countless history books or folklore stories prove that those who do not believe in their intuition will die ugly.
.
Gao Ying is not a willful person. He has always been cautious. It is precisely because of his caution that he is still alive today. Therefore, he was alert to the inexplicable heart palpitations he just had, so he stopped.
