Chapter 40: Intrigue (3)

On the sixth day of the 10th month, the commander of the Central Guard of Guangning Chu Zhi, the commander of the Lalu Guard of Tongzhi Zhuang De, the commander of the Central Guard of Chenyang Qu Qing, and the three confidant generals of the Liao king entered the Liao palace under the pretext of visiting Zhu Zhi. The Liao king held a banquet to entertain him. His highness was excited at the family banquet and his arm was broken again.

On the first day of October, the ten armies gathered and swore to go on the expedition. Since the Lalu Guard had to replenish armor and weapons, they stayed temporarily.

The official road leading to Shanhaiguan in Guangning was filled with murderous intent. The people crossed the road to ten miles to see each other. The big flag of the "Guanning Iron Cavalry" aroused the people's surging cheers.

This is the most powerful army in Liaodong. All the iron cavalry guards take action. Yan Ni is not enough to capture it.

Zhu Zhi stood on the post outside the ten-mile pavilion to see him off, and the officials of the royal palace surrounded him. Seeing the torrent of steel rolling south, Zhu Zhi sighed softly. Zhu Zhi couldn't bear to do this, but he had always used any means to fight politically.

Tie Xuan beside him turned his head to look at Zhu Zhi with a complicated facial expression and said, "Your Highness, will you get rid of this mediocre person and get rid of so many elite troops?"

Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap the wolf. Just the evidence of corruption is probably not enough to destroy this person. So we must set up this trap for Yang Wen to get in, so we can use the fourth brother's hand to get rid of him."

Tie Xuan said: "The soldiers on the battlefield are in danger. If they cannot handle it well, the entire army may collapse. Although this strategy will definitely be eliminated, our army may also suffer great losses."

Yang Rong continued: "Our plan is strict enough. Dingliao's Right Guard is defending Shanhaiguan and Dingliao's Central Guard is westward to Zunhua. Yang Wen has only five guards and 38,000 people.

Only the commander of Fuzhou Guard is his man. How can one guard advance or retreat on the battlefield control the situation? Besides, our army is all cavalry this time, and we can move forward and retreat freely. As long as the Second Army intervenes in the battlefield, it will be just right." Tie Xuan didn't say anything.

Still looking at the dust flying on the official road with concern.

Zhu Zhi suddenly said, "Has Xiao Ma Wang's transfer order been issued?"

Yang Rong replied: "Report to Your Highness, you have issued a transfer order. The Little Ma Wang should have been on the way back to Liaodong."

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "That's good. Don't give Yang Wen the chance to see him. The little Ma Wang killed Ma Li. How could Yang Wen, a villain, not put on his little shoes?"

Tie Xuan said: "Where will the Little Pony King put it after he comes back?"

Zhu Zhi thought for a while and said, "When will the Second Army be assembled?"

Tie Xuan said: "The weapons of the Lalu Guard will be fully prepared in three days. The Yulin Right Guard and the Tieling Guard are heading south. It is estimated that within ten days, the second army composed of the Lalu Guard and the Yulin Right Guard will be able to depart. Guangning will be the Tieling Guard as the garrison.

”

Zhu Zhi said: "Order all departments to prepare quickly and wait for the Yulin guards to arrive. Replenish the equipment and food immediately. On October 20th, we must set out. Let Wang Guan command the Second Army. As for the same character in his title, he can be removed."

...

"Haha, two pigs in the south and the north, Li Jinglong and Yang Wen, tell me which one to slaughter first?" Zhu Di asked while eating roasted lamb legs.

"Haha..., you can eat whatever you want, how can you avoid eating fat meat from your mouth?!" The general who was drinking and eating meat below laughed loudly.

"We were short of armor at first, but we didn't expect that the old guy Geng Bingwen would send us 20,000 war horses and countless armor and weapons. This time, Li Jinglong and Yang Wen were going to send a large number of supplies and supplies to the orphans, and we would be rich again.

When I remembered it, haha..." Zhu Di laughed unscrupulously again, and the generals below laughed as well.

Zhu Di took a sip of wine and said, "Tell you about the scandal of Yang Wen, the pig, which was in the 28th year of Hongwu. The Daman tribe at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou rebelled, and the Sichuan Dusi sent Yang Wen to wipe out it.

The pig brought 20,000 people and horses. Once he entered the mountain, he could not find the way, and was in Daman Mountains.

After wandering around for a month, he could not find the Daman tribe until he had eaten up all the food he brought, so he had to retreat. However, this time he could not find the way out of the mountain, so he was so anxious that he scolded the scouts every day.

Who knew that this guy was lucky? A scout from his subordinate saw a pair of pigs on the edge of the mountain, and then chased the two pigs and found the old nest of the Daman tribe. This also made him a success. From then on, Yang Wen had the name of a stupid pig general. "

"Wowhaha..." All the generals in the tent laughed wildly, laughing so hard that they sprayed out the food they had just eaten, and some of them rolled around in their seats. The laughter could be heard even in the entire camp, and a bald man walked into the tent with a smile.

Zhu Di saw that it was Monk Daoyan at first sight, and hurriedly called out, "Master, if you ask you to eat meat, why don't you come, how can you smell the fragrance? Come on, come and show the master the seat. Then bring a leg of lamb."

"Amitus Buddha, I will not eat wine and meat. Your Highness forgives your sins." Daoyan replied with a single palm on his hand.

Zhu Di said: "What monks do you think of wine and meat that passes through the intestines and stays in the heart of the Buddha! Come on, today I am happy and have two drinks with me."

Daoyan walked to the seat beside Zhu Di and sat down, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, I heard that Kaiping has come to the military newspaper, and Liaodong is ready to move? Come and take a look."

Zhu Di said: "That's right, this is a military newspaper. Please read it by Master." He said that, and handed the military newspaper in front of him to the monk.

After reading the military newspaper, Daoyan murmured to himself: "Why didn't Zhu Zhi take action personally?"

Zhu Di said: "Didn't the military newspaper say that the fifteenth brother fell off the horse and was injured? So he asked Yang Wen, the pig, to come."

Daoyan walked to the sand table next to him with the military newspaper and lowered his head to ponder. Zhu Di knew that Daoyan was thinking about something bad. He waved his hand to calm the generals, threw down the legs of lamb, wiped his hands and walked to Daoyan.

When the generals saw Zhu Di coming, they all stopped the banquet and surrounded the sand table.

Daoyan looked up and saw that all the generals had come over, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have disturbed you all your good intentions."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Where is this? This is a serious matter. I originally wanted to invite the master to come after dinner, but I didn't expect that the master was impatient."

Daoyan smiled and said, "The court has prepared 500,000 yuan, and the King of Liao has prepared 100,000 yuan. This is an army of 600,000 yuan. Your Highness is not in a hurry, I am sweating in a hurry."

Zhu Di laughed: "Okay, master, don't joke with me. I guess you already have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Daoyan's triangular eyes rolled and said, "But I don't know which dish your highness wants to eat first?"

Zhu Di's face became serious, and he leaned against the edge of the sand table and said, "It's important to matter. Li Jinglong, who wants to assemble a army of 500,000, is not that easy? He can't reach Baoding Prefecture in less than two months.

So I think that the East should first attack and defeat Yang Wen."

Daoyan said: "I have a premonition that if we attack Yang Wen in this battle, we are helping the King of Liao."

Zhu Di said: "Oh? Where are you talking about this?"

Daoyan said: "Your Highness, who is the biggest enemy of the Liao King? Do you think it is Peiping?"

Zhu Di's face became extremely serious, and he lowered his head and pondered for a long time before saying, "No, his biggest enemy is his nephew in the south! If I were wiped out, his life would not be better."

Daoyan said: "Yes, I have been wondering why when my army went south to Zhending, the Liaodong Army did not take advantage of the victory to advance south, but instead led troops to Shanhaiguan and failed to move forward? During the Zhending War, the Liaodong Army did not enter the pass by a soldier.

Your Highness, maybe he was very happy when the Tang of Zhending War was submitted to the King of Liao! For the King of Liao, only when Your Highness rebelled can he gain the greatest benefit, and only when Your Highness keeps rebelling will his interests increase.

Now, your highness returned to Peiping and showed the power of great victory, but he entered the pass with great fanfare. I thought that the King of Liao wanted to send Yang Wen over and ask your highness to help get rid of him.

You see, it would be best if he could kill him on the battlefield. If it doesn't work, when Yang Di was defeated, the King of Liao would have every reason to take him down. What a sinister trick, this strategy, the King of Liao could not think of such a simple mind, I think it was from Yang Rong.

”

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "Master means we should not hit Yang Wen, and we will help Lao Shiwu?"

Daoyan said: "It's not true, I won't take it with you, and God will send it away! Since the King of Liao spared no expense to send tens of thousands of people to be buried with him, why don't we accept it? Even if we help the King of Liao get rid of this great trouble, we will still beat the arrogant Liaodong army to be afraid of it!"

Zhu Di said: "Okay, the master is right. This fifteenth brother really can't bear to leave his children and can't trap the wolf. Haha... Everyone talks about how to fight this battle.

"Daoyan knew that he could not speak at this time, so he lowered his head and said, "Amitus Buddha." The generals below started to talk.

Zhang Yu said: "Your Highness, look, Qian'an, Yongping and Changli formed the current defense line of our army, and Kaiping supported these three points behind. It was just that Yandong was flat, and our army had no danger to defend except the city.

These four cities alone cannot be stopped no matter what. Why not do this? We will give up Qian'an, Yongping and Changli first, gather in Luanzhou, and wait for Yang Wen on the edge of the Luan River."

Zhu Neng said: "Is it a half-cross again? I'm afraid the Liaodong Army would not crawl in so obediently."

Zhu Di said: "Zhu Neng is right. Although Yang Wen is a pig, he cannot not know the battle. But even if they don't get into it, there is still a way. Look..." After Zhu Di said that, the generals agreed.

“We have to do a good job this time.

Zhang Sheng, you lead the Longqing Guard to the south, and bring all the banners in the left, middle, right guards, Yanqing Guards, Miyun Guards, Lulong Guards, Wuqing Guards, Funing Guards and other places with great fanfare, so that everyone in the world knows that the main force of the Yan army is heading south. "Zhu Di assigned a task.

"Another order, the three guards of Yanshan, the three guards of Duoyan, the three guards of Yanqing, and the Miyun guards followed the king to the east to join Jizhou guards, Tongzhou guards, and Zunhua guards to take Yang Wen to sacrifice the flag together.
