Da Wei Chun

Chapter 612
Li Shao paused suddenly, his complexion darkened.

Who would have expected that the imperial court issued an imperial edict to call on Xi Kangsheng as commander in chief to conquer Gao Zhao, and Xi Kangsheng entered the pass first with the white dragon fish uniform before it even reached Guanzhong?
And it came so coincidentally!

After Li Chengzhi went to the west, Li Shao weighed his left and right, and finally decided to make a fight according to Li Chengzhi's words, and take the strategy of supporting the bandits.

At that time Gao Yun had already conferred the title, Gao Zhaozhi's secret decree and the forged edict had been handed over to Li Shao by Li Chengzhi, so Yuanchen naturally didn't know that Gao Zhao had already raised troops.

However, he has only moved to the governor of Jingzhou for a few months, and his foundation is still shallow.Moreover, his own talent and wisdom are mediocre, so it is not difficult for Li Shao to plot against him.

At that time, Zhang Jingzhi was Jingzhou Biejia (the governor of Jingzhou), and Yang Shu was the governor. The former led the army and the latter managed the government.

The three of them are plotting on their own, how to make Yuan Chen feel that Gao Zhao has turned against him, so he has to start a sudden incident.It is also necessary to control it properly, not to make Yuanchen too strong, so as not to cause disasters in Guanzhong, and not to make it too weak, so that he will be disabled in two or three hits.

But the three of them hadn't reached a conclusion through discussion, when Xi Kangsheng suddenly arrived at the Jingzhou government office.

Yuan Chen looked bewildered, he didn't know what to do, but Li Shao was stuck on a tiger's back, in a dilemma.

Regardless of any dynasty, it must be a serious crime for an official to leave the governing area without authorization. Moreover, nearly [-] troops from Yuanzhou and Lingzhou have entered Xiaoguan. , Xi Kangsheng, who has countless confidants and eyes.

So even if he wanted to hide, it was too late...

Li Shao was helpless, so he simply took out the secret order and imperial edict that Li Chengzhi gave him, saying that Gao Yun came from the west and passed through Yuanzhou (formerly Gaoping Town). All of the Gao family's cronies summoned by Chen were intercepted and killed.

Then he was afraid of missing the good opportunity, so he cut first and then played, sent troops without authorization, and contacted Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu, intending to capture Yuan Chen in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes, in extraordinary times, to do extraordinary things is to bring the lawsuit to the capital, and the Empress Dowager and the courtiers would never say "no" to Li Shao.

Naturally, Xi Kangsheng would not blame him, on the contrary, he was full of praise, saying that he was resolute, decisive and decisive, and it was a wise move to put an end to the disaster for the court.

But I don't know if he heard some news, or deliberately bluffed, and asked Li Shao whether the secret order and edict were sent by Li Chengzhi.

Fortunately, Li Shaocheng's mansion is quite deep, and the return is tight.And Xi Kangsheng is like an addict, more like teasing Li Shao, he will mention it from time to time.

Is it over yet?
Even though Li Shao is quite self-cultivated and has been an official for several years, he has always been respectful to Xi Kangsheng, so he couldn't help but look ugly at this moment.

Fang wanted to sneer, but when he looked up, he found that Xi Kangsheng was not looking at him, but at Yang Shu.

Looking at Yang Shu again, although he was not dumbfounded, he was still shocked and stared straight at Xi Kangsheng, as if he wanted to see flowers.

Li Shaomao suddenly realized: What a Xi Kangsheng, seeing that he has not leaked a word, he actually bluffed Yang Yanrong again.

Fortunately, I have the foresight, not to mention Yang Shu, even in front of Zhang Jingzhi, he never mentioned a word about Li Chengzhi still alive.

Not only that, when he received a report from the imperial court saying that Li Chengzhi had been killed by Gao Zhao, he even shed a few tears in a fake manner.

Seeing that Yang Shu seemed to be stupid, Xi Kangsheng was really surprised: "Even you don't know?"

"joke!"

Even the senior official in the past, and today's coach, Yang Shu is also right. "The lower official only knows that Li Chengzhi has been killed by Gao Zhao. When did you hear that he is still alive?"

After a short pause, Yang Shu glared at Li Shao again: "Uncle Yuan, is what Xi Gong said really true?"

Xi Kangsheng was not disappointed.

He served two times as governor of Huazhou, and he had many contacts with Yang's children. Don't you know Yang Shu's nature?
Yang Shu has an upright personality and is also jealous of evil. If he knew the inside story, he would definitely not be able to leak it, at least he would not be able to hide it from his eyes.

It looks like he really doesn't know.

But not without a trace of gains.

Yang Yanrong was so furious and questioned Li Shao, didn't he think that Li Chengzhi would never be killed by Gao Zhao so easily, just like himself?
"Yan Rong, these are all Xi Gong's take for granted, how can you take it seriously? Otherwise, why should you respect him without thinking about eating and drinking, and be overwhelmed with grief?"

Is Zhang Jingzhi overwhelmed with grief?
He was worried and anxious.

Regardless of the fact that the old man gave him an order, he couldn't wait, and he agreed without even shirking the slightest excuse?
Xi Kangsheng sneered in his heart, and heard Yang Shu startled: "Yes, since the troops were dispatched for seven or eight days, why didn't you see him respecting him?"

"I have other important tasks, so I didn't join the army!"

Xi Kangsheng stroked his beard, and replied with a smile, "Ten days ago, the old man sent him to go through Monan (now Alxa League, which belonged to Xihai County in Wei Dynasty) into the West Sea and out of Daqi to check Rouran's movements..."

"Daqi is the land of the Dulun tribe. It was wiped out by Li Chengzhi and the Xihai Remnants long ago. Why do we need to inspect it..."

Just after answering half a sentence, Yang Shu suddenly paused, thinking of a rumor.

It's called Xihai Survivors, but it's actually a trilogy of the Li family...

This is clearly Xi Kangsheng's ulterior motives, restlessness and good intentions, so he deliberately sent Zhang Jingzhi to test him out.

Both Li Chengzhi and Zhang Jingzhi were tested.

Is Xi Kangsheng really good at picking people?

If the rumors are true, and what you suspect is also true, Zhang Jingzhi will go away five or six times out of ten, so what will happen then?

Could it be possible to let Gao Zhao ignore it and march into the West Sea?
Yang Shu secretly guessed, then glanced at Li Shao's face.

I saw Li Shao watching his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, as if an old Buddha had entered meditation.

Hehe, a pair of traitors...

……

Bogulu is about [-] to [-] miles away from Daqi. Zhang Jingzhi's subordinates are all light cavalry, and each rides three horses.

But now ten days have passed, and Zhang Jingzhi has not crossed Nanbed Mountain (the border between Yuan Wei and Rouran, south of Daqi).

As the name suggests, one knows that Monan is very desolate.The vast territory of thousands of miles has neither high mountains nor large rivers, and most of them are deserts and Gobi.Therefore, even if you drive a horse for hundreds of miles, you may not be able to see a trace of human smoke.

There are only a few aquatic plants that grow in the rainy summer season, and occasionally there are nomads in the western Chile.

But now it's like seeing a ghost, Zhang Jingzhi often encounters fugitives.

Xi Kangsheng just asked him to investigate the military situation, and there were not many soldiers and horses with him, only two hundred horses.However, all the people in the six towns are military households regardless of whether they are herdsmen or farmers, and they are skilled in horse bows and horses. They are not ordinary common people, so Zhang Jingzhi has always been careful and avoided them as much as possible.

But the farther you go north, the more refugees there are, and there are even some mighty men in armor and soldiers in front of them to explore the road. Afterwards, the chariots are like dragons, and the cattle and sheep are like clouds. It seems that the whole army is migrating to the west. Can't stop.

He first intercepted a group of small tribes with less than a hundred tents, and only then did he learn that the Six Towns are now in full swing.

But they are all herdsmen, they know what happened but they don't know why, they don't know why the war broke out, and they don't know who is fighting whom.

I only know that if I don't run away, I will definitely be affected by military disasters.At that time, cattle and sheep will naturally be robbed, young adults will be exiled into the army, women and children will be killed...

Zhang Jingzhi was taken aback in horror, suspecting that Beizhen must be in chaos, that's why he didn't know whether it was Woye Town or several towns in the west that was in chaos.

After another two days, he caught a team of scouts looking for the path at the right time. It happened that the leader of the team knew a little about the truth, so Zhang Jingzhi asked about it.

There are so many towns, but none of the six towns is spared.

For some reason, the Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang towns east of the Yellow River suddenly rose up. Sun Dao, the general of Huaicang town and the governor of the three east towns, combined tens of thousands of troops to attack Wuchuan in three ways.

And Luo Jian, the governor of Xisan Town, seemed to have expected it, and sent troops to the east of Dahe long ago, waiting for work at leisure.

Seeing the trick, Changsun Dao sent his troops into Langshan, bypassed the river, and raided the fertile field west of Wuchuan, intending to attack from both sides.

Luo Jian did the opposite, instead of going back to reinforce Woye, he repaid the other in the same way, and even sent [-] Qingqi to take the two towns of Rouxuan and Huaihuang east of Fuming.

In just over ten days, I am already in you, and you are in me.The huge six towns have become a mess.

It wasn't just the defeated army and the animal husbandry department, even the military households and townspeople who lived on the farm had to flee the six towns with their families.That's why Zhang Jingzhi saw so many fugitives.

It seemed reasonable, but Zhang Jingzhi had a feeling that something was wrong.

He pondered for a while, then asked suspiciously: "Since the six towns are in chaos, there is no way to go east. And Shuo, Heng, Yan and other prefectures have already attached themselves to the Gao family, so naturally they can't go. But now the Dulun tribe Now that the whole family has been exterminated, Touman City and Daqi are already unclaimed lands, so why don't you and others flee to the north, but to the west?"

"Fleeing north?"

The team leader stared in surprise, "This envoy, you don't know that Rouran has made a comeback, and even took advantage of the civil strife in the Six Towns to take Bigan City a few days ago?"

Bullshit.

Zhang Jingzhi's first reaction was disbelief.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that the leader of this team was mostly a family guard and courtyard guard, who didn't know anything about military affairs, and was an idiot.

He scolded in a cold voice: "Rouran Royal Court is thousands of miles away, how can we predict that the six towns will be chaotic? You know, if you send troops from Rouran Royal Court to Bigan City, it will take at least two months. And apart from Wang Ting, which one dares to invade our Wei territory, and is not afraid of repeating what Du Lun did?"

The team leader was taken aback by the training, but he didn't dare to argue. He just replied dully: "This is what a certain person saw with his own eyes. It's absolutely true. How dare you lie to Mr. Shi?"

seen it myself?
A light flashed in Zhang Jingzhi's heart: "Since you saw it with your own eyes, do you know how many soldiers and horses the Hu people have?"

The team leader replied truthfully, "I don't know how to watch the formation, but from what the leader said, there should be tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"What nonsense!"

Without waiting for Zhang Jingzhi to ask again, the confidant next to him scolded, "Since you can observe the formation, you must be within two or three miles of the enemy's formation. However, if there are tens of thousands of Hu troops, how can you not send armored cavalry to roam outside the formation? How dare you spare your life?"

"Hu Qi chased after him. After chasing another five or six miles, he rode his horse back to the camp. And it's not my group. Anyone who wants to go north and flee to Daqi is like this... Later There are rumors that Hu Jun is only defending the border, not invading our Wei border, so Qiu will never commit any crime..."

The confidant suddenly laughed out loud: "It's such a ridiculous thing in the world... A thieves like tigers and wolves drink blood like a hair. When did they have such a heart, and there is a reason not to snatch cattle and sheep?"

He was about to ask, but was stopped by Zhang Jingzhi: "Don't ask?"

No matter how stupid he is, Zhang Jingzhi has already guessed something.

The tens of thousands of wriggling cavalry under the city of Bigan are definitely not Hu Bing, nine out of ten are Li's trilogy, just to take advantage of the internal turmoil in the six towns and fish in troubled waters.

And if it weren't for Li Chengzhi, who in the Li family would have been able to calculate so accurately: just after the chaos in the six towns, the army blocked Langshan, forcing the defeated troops and people in the six towns to flee to the West Sea?

It was expected that Li Chengzhi would be alive, but Zhang Jingzhi was still in a state of mind, both pleasantly surprised and annoyed.

What a little thief, even the old man, this uncle?

His confidant didn't know why, but seeing Zhang Jingzhi's serious face and a bright light in his eyes, he closed his mouth very wisely.

"It's work!"

Zhang Jingzhi settled down, got up slowly, and signaled to his confidant: "Untie him!"

Seeing the rope on his body being untied, the team leader looked confused.Just as he was about to ask, he was kicked by his confidant on the leg.

"Do you need Sima to make an apology to you, so that you are willing to leave?"

This is to... Let yourself go?
The team leader was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily to Zhang Jingzhi.

Before, I saw Zhang Jingzhi show a letter, claiming that he was from Bogulu, and he was the Sima under the command of Marshal Xi Kangsheng, but the team leader only thought that he had escaped from the rebellious soldiers from Six Towns, and made a random name.

Didn't expect to really survive?

As soon as he stood up, he heard Zhang Jingzhi say again: "I am an official of the imperial court. I know the hardships of the common people and I don't want to embarrass you. But I can't let you go so easily. There should be one or two witnesses. When a certain Bing is presented to Xi Gong, it is also good to be a witness..."

The team leader's reaction was a bit slow, as Zhang Jingzhi didn't want to let him go, and replied helplessly: "I am willing to go with the envoy..."

"It doesn't need you, just send a few soldiers under your command..."

Zhang Jingzhi pointed at his confidant, "Go and pick some who are more awake, but don't let him talk too much..."

His confidant was originally a child of the Zhang family, and he had followed Zhang Jingzhi for more than ten years, so he knew his nature well.Seeing his eyes flicker, he immediately guessed seven or eight points: this team leader knows too much, so it is not easy to bring him back to life.

As for why Zhang Jingzhi deceived Xi Kangsheng, his confidants dare not even think about it, let alone talk too much.

He respectfully accepted the order, mentioned the team leader and left the account.

Zhang Jingzhi closed his eyes and meditated, and in just a moment, his confidant came back to his life.

Seeing the panic in the eyes of several clan soldiers, Zhang Jingzhi nodded slightly.Just as I was about to ask, I suddenly heard a noise outside the tent.

There seemed to be the sound of a cavalry galloping, and someone called "Xi Zhonglang!"

Zhang Jingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was careful enough to avoid Daxi on purpose.Otherwise, if he passed on to Xi Kangsheng what the team leader said just now, no matter how stupid Xi Kangsheng was, he would be able to guess one or two.

He secretly rejoiced that seeing Daxi enter the tent to greet him, he didn't get up, but just cupped his hands.

"Why is Zhonglang in such a hurry?"

Daxi was not polite, and sat straight down, with a slightly dissatisfied expression: "I heard that Sima let the scouts go, why do you dare to ask?"

Zhang Jingzhi sighed leisurely.

It was known that Xi Kangsheng had no good intentions, and must have laid a lot of hidden stakes and eyeliner during the two hundred rides.

Otherwise, Da Xi would not have come so fast.
