A knife in love

Chapter 186

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "General Sang, although Zhao Zhen is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but among the officials in the capital, with his rank, can he do such a big thing? I'm afraid you will send him to the capital, and you will hit those big men. At that time, Zhao Zhen will either be silenced, or he will bite back and push all the serious crimes of treason on you, General Sang. At that time, I am afraid that General Sang will not be able to tell..."

Sang Liangtian gritted his teeth, and murmured: "I shouldn't have listened to this bastard surnamed Zhao at the beginning, and now I'm so indifferent, with no basis for advancing or retreating, alas..."

Li Qiufeng said: "Since Master Sang doesn't care about his superiority and inferiority, and wants to hear Li's advice, Li has an idea..."

Sang Liangtian said: "Li Baihu just say so."

Li Qiufeng said: "I think General Sang knows who the soldiers and horses from Shanhaiguan were transferred here. The current situation is treacherous, and it seems that the camps are clear. In fact, everyone is a fool and is watching the political situation." Change. Li dares to make a bet with the general, as long as the situation changes, those big bosses who are still clamoring for loyalty to Emperor Jiajing today will be the first to hand in the letter of surrender tomorrow."

Sang Liangtian scratched his head and said: "Li Baihu's words are not bad. To be honest, since the general was transferred to the imperial tomb, there have been many envoys sent by important people in the capital to contact the general, some of them are vassals. The king is a lobbyist, but some of them are cronies of the current emperor's favorites. This time, the general heard Zhao Zhen's words, that is, he got the letter of alliance from the four ministers..."

When Sang Liangtian said this, he got up and walked to the entrance of the big tent, opened the curtain and looked at it, and saw that there were more than a hundred elite soldiers standing outside the tent, and then he returned to his seat and whispered to Li Qiufeng: "I heard that the late emperor is still alive..."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said, "General Sang, this is not a joke."

Sang Liangtian said: "This is such an important matter, how dare I joke about it? When Zhao Zhen found me, in addition to the alliance letters of the four ministers, he also had several letters from the cabinet scholars. The most important thing is that he said The first emperor left a will to eliminate the rebels. And it is said that the first emperor is still alive and manipulating everything behind the scenes."

Li Qiufeng suddenly remembered that both Liu Kang and Yang Tinghe had said that they were looking for someone when they were in Gu's old shop.Thinking about it now, the person they were looking for was probably the former Emperor Zhengde.It's just that Emperor Zhengde died 12 years ago. If he was still alive, how could he be usurped by King Xingxian so easily?Moreover, Emperor Zhengde behaved frivolously and had a quick temper. Even if he was forced to abdicate by King Xingxian, how could he endure it for so many years before launching an attack?

Sang Liangtian saw that Li Qiufeng's face was cloudy and uncertain, and continued: "The old thief surnamed Liu just said that the brat is the dragon species of the late emperor, I'm afraid it is not false. But this is too weird, we can't believe it. Li Baihu, the major powers in the court are entangled right now. You are from the capital, and you are working in the Jinyiwei. You still want to give this general an idea. If you can get rid of this difficulty, this general will definitely reward you very generously .”

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't want anything in return. It's just that there are many friends in Yong'an City. If General Sang continues to fight like this, the city will be destroyed sooner or later. I'm afraid that when the time comes, both jade and stone will be destroyed. He and Yong'an City were reduced to ashes, so he was willing to take the risk to ask the general to stop the army."

Sang Liangtian said: "Li Baihu's words are serious. This general was only deceived by Zhao Zhen. Now that his plot has been exposed, Yong'an City will not attack again."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "No, the general of Yong'an City will continue to attack."

Sang Liangtian was startled, not knowing what Li Qiufeng meant by these words.I only heard Li Qiufeng continue to say: "Since the general wants to get out of this difficulty, there is only one way now, which is to make great contributions to the court. The soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan are hidden in the Nanshan Mountains, and it is determined to watch General Sang besiege Yong'an City." He made up his mind to wait for the reinforcements from the Xuanfu and Datong to come to the rescue, and take advantage of the emptiness of the guards in the capital to surprise attack the capital and seek to usurp the throne. Now that the reinforcements from the Xuanfu and Datong have already set off, the general can leave a few troops and continue to besiege Yong'an City. As if fighting hard, secretly dispatched most of the army to the road that Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses must pass to surprise the capital, and suddenly attacked when they passed by, foiling their plot, this is a great contribution!"

Sang Liangtian's eyes brightened, he thought for a moment, stood up and took a few steps in the big tent, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Li Baihu's plan is good. There is only one way to live and die, and this is the only way to do it!"

Li Qiufeng said: "To accomplish this great event, there are three things that need to be done well. The first is to confirm which road the Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses will use to surprise the capital. If the judgment is wrong, this matter will not only be useless, but will be successful. Second, General Sang is the biggest target of Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses. I think there must be various factions in your army. Therefore, the soldiers and horses left behind to besiege Yong'an City must be led by you personally, so things will not go wrong. In this way, the general you send to lead the ambush must be your confidant and favorite general, and you must be cautious in choosing this person. Third, General Sang must send a reliable person to directly Submit it to the emperor, and report the matter to the emperor. It’s just that the memorial has to pass through the cabinet, and then handed over to the eunuch who is in charge of rituals and writing, before it can be submitted to the emperor. After passing through the hands of these people, the matter must be leaked. Think of a way to reach Tianting directly..."

Sang Liangtian said: "This matter is easy to handle. To be honest, although the general has been leading troops outside these years, he knows the rules every year. He has given a lot of gifts to the father-in-law who works in the palace, so he has made a lot of money. He is a trustworthy eunuch. Among them is the confidant of the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies. It is not difficult to send the memorial directly. The general led the troops to continue to besiege Yong'an City, and the person sent to intercept the rebels is naturally my confidant. The soldiers and horses dare not say that the military discipline is as strict as the Yue family army, but they are also united. Since the day of the announcement, I have led this army and horses, and every team has spies from the general. The general is also an old man who has served as the general for many years. I'm afraid I know better than their wives. I don't need to worry about this. As for which route the Shanhaiguan soldiers will use to attack the capital..."

When Sang Liangtian said this, he went to the long case, took a large map made of sheepskin from the side of the case, and spread it out. After reading it carefully for a long time, he said to Li Qiufeng: "If the rebels want to surprise the capital, they must The cavalry is the main force, so they will not choose rugged mountain roads, let alone water roads, so there are only two roads left. One is to go straight to the capital along the road west of Yong'an City, which is also the shortest road from Yong'an to the capital. It's just that after the reinforcements from the Xuan and Dafus arrive at Yong'an, they will inevitably camp in Xicheng. If the rebels march on this road from Nanshan, they will first pass through Nancheng, where our army is also there, and then go to Xicheng Road. Only in this way, it is difficult for the cavalry of the rebels to hide their tracks. Therefore, they will not choose this road, but will only choose this road from the south of Nanshan to the west to attack the capital. Although this road is better than the first road It is fifty or sixty miles farther away, but it is located in the south of Nanshan. When soldiers and horses move, they will not be aware of the south and west directions of Yong'an City. Moreover, the rebel army is mainly cavalry, so the extra fifty or sixty miles is right For them, it’s just a meal. If you want to ambush the rebels, you only need to choose the road south of Nanshan.”

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Li doesn't understand these things on the battlefield at all. General Sang has been in battle for a long time, so the arrangements must be good."

Sang Liangtian turned around the tent excitedly, then turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "The reinforcements from the Xuan and Dafus will arrive at Yong'an City within three days, and the rebels will also sneak attack on the capital in the next few days. I will send the generals immediately." Send troops to ambush the rebels to set off quietly tonight. As for the siege of Yong'an City, I will lead it personally. More than 4000 Duoyan Sanwei Tazi soldiers came. These people are all cavalry. I let them attack In the past few years, we have listened to Zhao Zhen's arrangement and have stored a large amount of food, grass and equipment in Yong'an City, with no less than 30 arrows. Go back and tell the guards in the city that you must not go out of the city to fight. Take out the feathered arrows, and just wait for the Tazi soldiers to attack the city, all the arrows will be fired at the city, shooting at the fucking salted duck eggs. Moreover, this general only let the Tazi soldiers attack the gate of the east city, and the gates of other cities do not need to be defended. After these three days, it is estimated that the Tartar soldiers are almost dead. I have long seen that the Tartars are not pleasing to the eyes, and I didn't want to borrow troops from Duoyan Sanwei, but Zhao Zhen, a thief, insisted and let these bastards come here Here, just borrow the hands of the defenders of Yong'an City to kill them all!"
