Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 796 Another nephew of the eldest grandson's family!
After asking for the handwriting in the East Palace, Sun Fujia and Pei Xingfang hurried on the road with [-] fine riders, and their goal was the Jinshui Valley in the east of Tongguan and northwest of Luoyang City.

There are dense trees here, green as clouds.When they climbed Fu, they could see the victory of Yiluo and Erchuan in a panoramic view; when they arrived, it was already the evening of the fourth day, and the sun was about to set.

He also had to meet with Luoyang Governor Sun Jiaqing's troops to discuss countermeasures, so he had to rest in the camp outside the valley for one night to recharge his batteries and prepare for going into the mountains tomorrow.

The Luoyang side sent two brothers, Changsun Wunai and Changsun Wuao. They are both the younger brothers of the eldest grandson Wuji. Although their contributions are not great, but after so many years and the prince's care, they have been mixed up to the position of the fourth rank.

Accompanying him was a young general surnamed Zhang, who had a very strange face, and neither Sun Fujia nor Pei Xingfang knew each other, but the armor of the general Zhonglang was really eye-catching.

After an introduction, I found out that the background of this young general is not simple. His father is Zhang Cong, the governor of Muzhou, and his mother is the half-sister of the Empress Empress, so he is just under 30 years old. A military position of the fifth rank, and an official with real power.

But it was because he hadn't made any achievements, so he couldn't hold his head up in the army. This time, he finally caught up with such a big event, so he specially asked Sun Jiaqing, the governor of Luoyang Metropolis.People can't be looked down upon for the rest of their lives, right? He's had enough of those people's eyes, and this time he has to let them see his abilities.

"Okay, everyone, since none of you are outsiders, I will not sell my officials. This operation is top secret. Your Majesty and the crown prince attach great importance to it, and the amount of treasure involved is extremely huge, so you must be cautious." Be careful."

"I am a criminal officer. I have spent most of my life in the Sanfa Division. I don't know anything about the way of marching and forming an army. It is comparable to you generals who have experienced many battles. Therefore, I would like to ask you generals to enlighten me and speak freely. Well!"

Sun Fujia understands that these people are either arrogant soldiers or strong backgrounds. Unlike the officials of the Sanfa Division, these people have to be coaxed, and they have always been soft rather than hard. To make them obedient, you must You have to touch it smoothly, otherwise it will be detrimental to the overall situation.

This time the prince asked him to preside over the action because he was mature and prudent, and Sun Fujia didn't want to ruin the action because of the rules in the officialdom.Besides, he really doesn't know anything about the matter of attacking the mountain, and he has no experience, so he can't do without relying on them!

"Mr. Sun, when the imperial court issued the decree to rectify Buddhist sects, the local temples in Luoyang were all under control, and all of them were under the supervision of Zhechong Mansion. This Jingu Temple is no exception."

While talking, Changsun Wunai walked to the map and introduced the current situation. Because the specific measures have not yet come down, the policy of the imperial court is to sweep Yongzhou first, and then expand eastward, so they just sent troops to surround it.

After receiving the order from the prince, they obeyed the order and took down the people from Jingu Temple first, hoping to obtain first-hand information from them and learn about the details of the valley.But these honest monks went against the norm and fiercely resisted, causing more than a dozen casualties to the government army, and all of them reported their will to die, leaving no one alive.

However, during the search, a secret passage was found in the middle of the temple. The direction of the secret passage was indeed reversed to the inside of the mountain, but the monks used the dragon-breaking stone specially used for tombs inside, and the mechanism had been destroyed. Can no longer be used.

What's more interesting is that they also found out through the county government of Jingu County that nearly a thousand men and women have disappeared in the name of visiting relatives and friends recently. Now it seems that they must be the so-called lay disciples.

"These are not the most important. Yesterday, the general sent some people into the mountain to determine the specific scope, but so far, none of them have come back. It is estimated that they are all finished. These scouts are all veterans. It is not easy for us to face opponents this time.”

During the conversation, Zhang Zhe also walked to the map, pointed to a place marked as a mountain, and continued: "But it's not all fruitless. The scouts in charge here fired three loud arrows. This is the contact method agreed in advance. , which proves that they have made a major discovery here, so the suspicion here is the heaviest."

"It's not such a coincidence. All the scouts were killed, so the signal was sent out. I thought it was a bit like inviting you into the urn. I thought that the topography and landforms here should be re-surveyed. Didn't the monk say that? There are many institutions here, not to be underestimated, it is better to be cautious."

Pei Xingfang joined the army as a young man and has fought for more than ten years. He has experienced many wars. He doesn't think this is a good signal, but rather like a trap designed in advance, so he doesn't agree to use troops here immediately.Once caught in the enemy's trap, the loss is bound to be heavy, and who can afford this responsibility at that time!

Before Pei Xingfang finished speaking here, Zhang Zhe came over, stared, and said in a deep voice: "General Pei, what do you mean? Are you doubting our Luoyang government army? Do you suspect that those brothers are here?" Is it the last message before dying?"

Hehe, "Boy, soldier, the important matter of the country, don't underestimate this is just a mountain top, but whoever strikes is killing people, if you are not careful, sooner or later, people will eat it without even bones left.", Pei Xing He looked solemnly at this son of a foreign relative who was eager to make contributions.

Are you kidding me? If you want to mobilize troops with just a few clues, you will lose the battle even if you have an advantage.It would be difficult for a dude like this to be a centurion under him, and letting him lead troops is definitely the greatest irresponsibility to the soldiers.I really don't know what the eldest grandson Jiaqing thinks, isn't it good to keep such a baby lump in the yamen?
"Pei Xingfang, you are General Zhonglang, and this general is also General Zhonglang. They are all the same in the official ranks. Why do you teach me! Besides, is it great to win a few battles? As long as you give a chance, who can't fight?" A few games, what is there to be proud of!"

Before Zhang Zhe could say anything, Changsun Wuao dragged him back, grabbed him by the collar and pointed at him seriously, forbidding him to say such words that undermine unity, they are all from the East Palace, what are you doing!

"General Pei, don't be as knowledgeable as a child. He has never experienced battle, so he can speak freely." The eldest grandson Wu Nai got up to apologize, scolding this nephew in his heart.

Can you, the back door Zhonglang general, compare with the six rate generals of the same level?Are you kidding, people are promoted by beheading military merits, what do you rely on, I don't know!

"It's okay, Tongyan Wuji! Go back and discipline him more, General Changsun, now we can discuss how to rearrange the investigation plan!".
