I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 218 Vigilance (for Subscription)

Dishui Village is located in the east of Yongning, connected to Tiantai Village in the south and Linzhou City in the east. It is the only place to go from Yongning to Bozhou.

During the Battle of Bozhou, Yang Yinglong sent a large army to fight for this place, hoping to use it as a springboard to capture Yongning. Fortunately, the stronghold was located halfway up the mountain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the end, the defenders insisted on coming to the court for help, and this was a huge setback. Banshu rebels.

It's just that the She family, which had stuck to Dishui Village back then, has now raised its flag of rebellion.

After She Yin settled down in Dishui Village, he called She Zhen, Luo Qianxiang and others to come here for a peace meeting. At the same time, he followed the opinions of Fan Long and He Ruohai and used the excuse that the command was vacant and could not be left without an owner for a day. She Chongming As the eldest son, he succeeded to the position of Xuanfu envoy of Yongning.

At the same time, He Ruohai was also asked to issue a close-up message in capital letters, saying that the She family had been loyal to the court for generations, but the court turned against the She family and framed him, causing She Chongming to self-immolate and all the She family to be imprisoned, which forced him to rebel.

"This memorandum is quite well-written. I heard it was written by a student who failed to pass the exam."

Thirty miles outside Dishui Village, Commander-in-Chief Yang Yumao, Qin Liangyu and others were watching this She Yin's message with great interest.

"Yes, this person's name is He Ruohai. I heard that he is a scholar from Yongning Health. He failed the provincial examination seven times and had nothing to do, so he joined She Chongming with the intention of causing chaos."

"Haha, you've read so much into a dog's belly, and you're still reading books about saints and sages, but you don't understand the principle that if you're well-off, you can help the world, and if you're poor, you can be alone. Instead, you're taking the opportunity to incite Luxury and Chongming to cause chaos, which has led to the destruction of all living beings and their family. Did you catch it?"

Wen Yingkui on the side saw this and began to scold him directly. Although he was a military commander, he had read several books on Confucius and Mencius and read several articles. He looked down upon such a sour Confucian scholar who surrendered to the enemy the most.

"Brother Wen, scholars are worthless now. A large number of scholars in Chengdu feel that there is no hope for the imperial examination, so they lower themselves to survive. They can even borrow fame from others as long as they give money."

Yang Yumao also joked when he saw this. It was so common for people like He Ruohai to seek refuge with chieftains without a livelihood, so he was not surprised.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen. Their wife, children, and children are all in Yongning, and they are all in prison now."

Xiao Ge heard the words and immediately replied.

Wen Yingkui felt better after hearing this. He sighed and said to Yang Yumao:

"Brother Yang, I don't know. I have been at the border all year round. Many scholars and scholars went to Mongolia to serve the enemy because they were depressed. These people know the court best. With their help, many Mongolian tribes also learned to recruit Han people for farming. , using firearms is very troublesome to deal with. So I hate these people the most."

Yang Yumao also understood Wen Yingkui's indignation. On the other hand, the integrity of scholars did not show half of the integrity of these people. The seriousness of such high-end talents' collaboration with the enemy and rebellion was much more harmful than that of ordinary people.

"When the time comes, we will hand him over to Brother Wen if we catch him. It is not a pity for such a person to die."

While they were chatting, there was a sudden sound outside the tent.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I didn't collect any reports at night, saying that all the surrounding villages were forcibly moved away by the rebels, and not a single grain of food was left."

"Hahaha, She Yin has helped us a lot. There are no villages around, so the rebels naturally have no way of knowing our situation."

Yang Yumao laughed loudly when he heard this, thinking that She Yin was really smart but was misled by his cleverness. He thought that after moving the village, there would be no one to guide them, but he didn't expect that they had Luo Qianxiang as a guide, so they didn't need it at all. Instead, She Yin and others became blind.

"Where are Luo Qianxiang and others?"

"We have now entered Dishui Village ten miles away."

"it is good!"

Yang Yumao looked at the sky. The sun had already set on the top of the mountain, and the sky was getting darker. It was a good time to kill people and fight.

"Raise troops immediately, with 5000 Sichuan soldiers from Xuanwei Camp and Xuanwu Camp, and 4000 Shizhu Baigan soldiers as the vanguard, with General Qin Minping as the commander, following behind, and deal with any abnormality immediately."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Liangyu who was silent, cupped his hands and said:
"The war is imminent, and when the time comes, we will have to rely on the white-poled soldiers of Xuanfu."

The white pole soldiers are famous all over the world. Yang Yumao knows the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan soldiers. Without the help of the white pole soldiers, it would be impossible.

Qin Liangyu naturally understood this, but Yang Yumao made Qin Minping the commander-in-chief and made it clear that he wanted to give her half of the credit. This was not unacceptable.

"My lord, Commander-in-Chief, is joking. If the imperial court hadn't been aware of this rebellion, the southwest would have been devastated again. I, Shizhu Xuanfu Division, will do my best to serve the imperial court."

"Okay, then send troops immediately."

Five miles away from Dishui Village, Luo Qianxiang was reassured when he learned that the army had sent troops, so he asked people to go to Dishui Village to inform him of his itinerary, and at the same time asked people to slow down and wait for Qin Minping and others to follow his footsteps.

In Dishui Village, She Yin sat at the head of the table, and Fan Long, She Zhen, He Ruohai and others sat under him.

"I'm reporting to the commander, General Luo Shen and his troops are five miles away from the walled city."

"Why is this Luo Qianxiang so slow? The original two-day journey took three days. He delayed the military plane and should be executed according to law."

When Fan Long heard that Luo Qianxiang was marching so slowly, he was immediately dissatisfied. Why was he so hesitant? He was clearly upset. "It doesn't matter. Let's tolerate him for now. Wait until he comes into the camp and seizes his military power before dealing with him."

She Zhen also just arrived yesterday. It was three days' journey from Linzhou to Dishui Village. It took him two days to get there in a hurry. However, Luo Qianxiang's two-day journey took three days, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

He Ruohai didn't say much, his brows were furrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he became, and he said doubtfully:
"Is this Luo Qianxiang afraid that he has surrendered to the imperial court?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they had doubts about Luo Qianxiang, it had only been five or six days since Yongning fell. Luo Qianxiang's surrender must have been too fast.

"According to the report from the spies, there are no signs of officers and soldiers around Luo Qianxiang. Why did Mr. He say this?"

Although confused, She Yin did not dare to be careless and couldn't help but wonder.

"Commander, when Master She was there, Luo Qianxiang was on guard, so he let the disciples of the She family hold positions in Luo Qianxiang's army. Logically speaking, after hearing about the great changes in Yongning, Commander, you sent a message to gather, These people will march all night and arrive quickly like Master She Zhen.

But now that he is procrastinating like this, there has been no change in the army, which is unreasonable. Therefore, I venture to guess that Luo Qianxiang has probably got rid of his close followers of the She family, and now he either joins the army or has become an official. If you want to cooperate with the army inside and outside the army, or you know our plan, you will be afraid to move forward, fearing that we will plot against him. "

When He Ruohai said this, everyone figured it out.

"This Luo Qian is as ambitious as a wolf. I have often told my father-in-law not to trust this person easily, but his father-in-law took a fancy to his talents and entrusted him with important tasks. Is this how he repays his father-in-law? Such an unfaithful and unjust person, really His sin deserves death, and he will go to eighteen levels of hell after death."

Fan Long gritted his teeth. He had always disliked Luo Qianxiang. He felt that this man was hypocritical and a man seeking fame. However, his father-in-law She Chongming took a fancy to his talent and wanted to use his status as a hundred households in the guardhouse to dispel the imperial court's influence. I had doubts, so I put him in high regard, but I didn't expect to end up like this.

"I think Luo Qianxiang secretly communicated with the court in such a short period of time. There must have been collusion for a long time. I'm afraid he was the one who informed the father-in-law of his important affairs, which alerted the court."

Once a person falls into the trap of suspicion, he will be neurotic, be suspicious of everything, and lose trust in others.

This is the case for Fan Long. He has now completely lost trust in Luo Qianxiang and feels that he is the mastermind behind the scenes.

"It's useless to talk about it now, brother. He is already five miles away. If we don't make a decision early, we will be in doom."

She Zhen knew that the situation was urgent, and the previous plans might not be of use. Now it seemed that the arrangements would have to be rearranged, but now She Yin had to make the decision.

She Yin also felt that what He Ruohai said made sense, but reason told him not to believe one-sided words. Whether it was true or not still needed to be verified.

Everyone looked at She Yin, who closed his eyes and said nothing, feeling that no matter what happened to Luo Qianxiang, he still couldn't sit still and wait for death, and it was better to be careful.

"Send orders to Luo Qianxiang to wait for orders at Lijiazhai, two miles away from Dishui Village. She Zhen, you will send your cronies to Lijiazhai later. Don't question Luo Qianxiang after the meeting. Directly ask Lieutenant General She for questioning. If nothing goes wrong, It’s best to do that, if something happens, call the police immediately.”

"Dishui Village is built against the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But just in case, Fan Long, you and She Zhen will guard the east, west and south gates to prevent Luo Qianxiang or the army from sneak attacks."

"As ordered!"

"What? Are you on standby in Lijiazhai?"

"Yes, the commander said that he will be on standby in Lijiazhai first, and he will send someone to express condolences to the general later."

Luo Qianxiang's face was livid, and he was very flustered and nervous. It seemed that either he had been exposed, or he was still suspected by them, so he immediately took the order to go to Lijiazhai, and at the same time, he sent someone to call Qin Minping to come over for discussion.

After Qin Minping saw Luo Qianxiang coming to report, he thought to himself that She Yin and others must be suspicious, so he immediately asked Yang Yumao to tell Yang Yumao that he would also take people to Lijiazhai to meet Luo Qianxiang.

The night was hazy, and the half-full moon hung in the sky, covering the ground with a layer of plain clothing.

By the moonlight, Qin Minping and a group of people quickly arrived at Lijiazhai.

"General Luo, the last general Qin Minping, I wonder if the people sent by Sheyin are here."

The matter was urgent, so Qin Minping didn't say any pleasantries and started asking straight to the point.

Luo Qianxiang returned the favor after hearing this, and then looked in the direction of Dishui Village with a worried look on his face.

"It should be soon. She Yin and others may have noticed it, and it looks like they are going to attack and encircle them."

Qin Minping thought the same way, thinking that She Yin and others had really learned a lot from the experience. After the attack in Yongning, their memory and learning skills had improved.

But now, it's not like there's no chance.

"Now that something big has been leaked, instead of waiting, it's better to send troops quickly and take advantage of it unprepared to raid Dishui Village!"
