Late Tang

In the main hall of the Wangfu, it can be said that there are two top people from Qingzhou Jieshuaifu and Yajiang gathered at this time.The banquet did not use separate small table seats, but a huge rectangular table was placed in the hall, and then dozens of people sat around on the left and right sides, clearly separated.

On the right Song Wei sat in the first place, followed by Zhang Wanrong, the Supervisor of the Army, followed by Deputy Commander Kang Chenghui, and Sima Cui Yunqing.Then there are judges, secretaries, envoys, staff officers and other officials. After these civil officials, are the generals of the commander-in-chief.In addition, the deputy envoys, sub-envoys, judges, small envoys, and personal guards from the Military Supervisory Academy were also present.There are also San Shang Zuo, Chang Shi, Sima, Bie Jia and Liu Cao Guan from Qingzhou.

On the left, Wang Jingwu sat in the first place, followed by a general of the Qingzhou Ya Army.Qingzhou Yabing is divided into five divisions, which are Yaqian, Yanei, Yahou, and the front yard and backyard. Each of the five divisions has 1000 troops.Speaking of it, in fact, the relationship between the five departments of Qingzhou Yabing is not directly subordinate.The relationship between the military leaders of various ministries and Wang Jingwu is more like an alliance, and Wang Jingwu is the leader of this alliance.

Wang Jingwu is able to control Yabing, and what is even more critical is that in addition to the 5000 soldiers and horses in the Yamen, Wang Jingwu also has 2000 private soldiers, plus the [-] family members of the generals in the Yamen, and his Yamen soldiers have [-] troops. .The other four divisions' Yabing soldiers are not as good as his in terms of number and elite. The other four divisions have [-] soldiers and horses. Including the family members of the generals and schools, there are more than [-] people, and each division has only [-] troops.

What's more, after several generations of the royal family's management over the years, Liu Dang, the military envoy of the yamen, Feng Rang, the envoy of the yamen, Zhou Rong, the envoy of the front yard, and Zhao Jin, the envoy of the backyard, are sitting in this hall. These four soldiers and horse envoys are basically related to the Wang family for several generations, and they are connected and related to each other, but Wang Jingwu is the first to follow.

For the Qingzhou Yajun, they not only have relatives and relatives, but also have connected interests.Wang Jingwu is the head of the Qingzhou dental soldiers, the snake head of the local snake. In the face of powerful foreign dragons like Song Wei and Zhang Wanrong, their interests are the same.

They also knew that if Wang Jingwu was eliminated by Song Wei, the result waiting for them would be the same as Wang Jingwu.Wang Jingwu has already explained all this to them very clearly, and they have also drank blood wine together. This time, they will advance and retreat together, completely obeying Wang Jingwu's command. Wang Jingwu.

In the hall, the atmosphere is not very good.Ever since Song Wei came to take over Yu Yu's position, there has been constant friction between Ya Bing's side and the Shuaifu's side.For more than a year, there have not been many opportunities for the two sides to get together like today.

Wang Jingwu couldn't help but feel complicated when he saw the large number of people on Song Wei's side.Song Wei's skills are indeed much stronger than those of the previous commanders. Not only did he bring together the Supervisory Academy to deal with him, but he even joined forces with the Cui family, the largest family in Qingzhou.With Cui Yunqing's full support, the local forces in Qingzhou were divided into two, and the military was still firmly behind him, but most of the civilian officials fell to Song Wei.Not only the San Shangzuo of the state capital, but also the important Liu Cao and other officials have almost all turned to Song Wei.

Recalling Song Wei's shots again and again, it seemed as if he was suppressing and beating him, but in fact Song Wei's movements continued, but he had already quietly drawn all the forces except the Qingzhou Yabing to his side went.Even if there was no plan to annihilate Guo by borrowing the bandits to mobilize Li Jing to lead his troops here, Song Wei's forces would be able to directly challenge him in a short time.

Although there is the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, few people in the hall are in the mood to appreciate it.This is true of Wang Jingwu and other Yabing generals, and even more so by Song Wei's group.

Wang Jingwu picked up a glass of wine and said respectfully to Song Wei: "The commander-in-chief came to Qingzhou, and I, Mr. Wang, have not been able to entertain him once as a landlord. I am ashamed to say that. This glass of wine, I respect the commander-in-chief!"

Song Wei picked up a glass of wine, but did not drink it directly, but looked at Wang Jingwu solemnly.

Seeing Song Wei's reaction like this, Wang Jingwu was furious. This Song Wei is really toasting and not eating fine wine.He raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, chuckled twice and said: "I will do it first! The commander-in-chief has been in Qingzhou for nearly two years. Speaking of which, according to the rules of the imperial court, the commander-in-chief will have to be transferred in one year." Elsewhere. I wonder if the commander-in-chief has thought about where he will go next?"

Song Wei also smiled slightly: "Ziqing Town's term of office has not yet expired, so it's too early to talk about that!"

Wang Jingwu shook his head, "How could it be so early? The commander-in-chief is also from the Forbidden Army in Chang'an. In fact, according to me, it's better to get active now. It's better to find a post in the middle of the capital directly after taking office. It's better than a small place like Qingzhou. I heard that the lieutenant of the Left and Right Shence Army has been renamed Commander, and I also heard that there is a vacancy in the Left and Right Shence Army. I think the position of Commander of the Shence Army is very suitable for the commander. If the commander Yes, I will have a fight with the commander-in-chief, and my subordinates and I are willing to spend 100 million coins to help the commander-in-chief compete for this position."

This is Wang Jingwu's last effort, trying to avoid this time.In fact, Wang Jingwu was really unwilling to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.Song Wei's background is too great, he has no worries about taking down Song Wei, what is worried about is what will follow.In case the imperial court refuses to admit the fait accompli and send troops to encircle and suppress it, he has no confidence to fight against the imperial court.

If Song Wei can understand the situation and leave Qingzhou voluntarily, then he can be his Marshal Pinglu and avoid a mutiny with known consequences. Even if he spends 100 million, he thinks it is worth it.

Unexpectedly, after Song Wei heard this, he just smiled slightly, and opposed him, saying: "If General Wang Ya is willing to retire from his post, I am willing to give 100 million yuan to General Wang Ya as a family allowance."

Cui Yunqing said on the side: "If Wang Yajiang is willing to retire, the old man is willing to give another one million guan."

This is just unwillingness, Wang Jingwu sighed, it seems that Song Wei and others will not cry when they see the coffin.The last trace of a peaceful solution may have disappeared, Wang Jingwu's face was ugly, thinking about it, he felt that things should be like this.People like them, when they are in their current status, who cares about some money, even if they are millions, who doesn't have such a net worth?Power is what really matters.

"Since that's the case, then XX is looking for boredom!" Wang Jingwu stood up with a sullen face, "XX is going to change clothes, and I'll be back later."

As soon as Song Wei saw Wang Jingwu's reaction, he knew what he was going to do next.If he went out, it would not be him but the knife and axe who came back.The supervisor Zhang Wanrong pretended to drop the cup by mistake, and there was a clear and clear cracking sound resounding in the hall.Perhaps because the voice was not loud enough to reach Li Jing and the others, the eunuch quickly stood up again and said, "I'll come as soon as the old man goes." Almost fell down, swiped his hand on the table, all the cups, bowls and plates in front of him fell to the ground at once, and there was a sound of broken porcelain. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our family can't drink enough, I'm so sorry."

When this happened, Wang Jingwu couldn't turn around and leave, so he had to stand there and ask someone to deal with it.

In the courtyard outside the hall, the loud noises of Li Jing and others continued to spread, and the sound of finger-playing and persuasion continued, and the maids were far away from anyone.As a result, no one noticed at all that although Li Jing and the others in the small courtyard were shouting loudly, in fact everyone had already unsheathed their weapons at this time.

As soon as the sound of cups and plates breaking in the hall came out, Li Jing, who had been waiting nervously, immediately bowed like a cheetah.

"Do it!" Li Jing shouted in a low voice, and rushed straight to the hall like a leopard.

As soon as he rushed out of the gate of the small courtyard, twenty steps ahead was the hall where Song Wei was.There was a row of eight servants standing outside the hall door. These people were just putting on a show outside the hall. Wang Jingwu's real killer move was the knife and axe in the wing room behind the hall.They didn't know Wang Jingwu's plan, they were just a group of ordinary family servants in the mansion, and when they suddenly saw a large group of people rushing out of the front yard, they were all stunned in surprise.

Someone recognized that this group of people was the group of soldiers from the commander-in-chief's mansion who had made trouble in the mansion earlier, and they couldn't help thinking that Li Jing and the others were making trouble after being drunk.Immediately, they had to step forward to intercept, and no one even called the police.With such a dazed effort, Li Jing and the others quickly approached the eight servants. At this moment, the servants finally saw the sharp horizontal knife in the hands of Li Jing and the others.

Before they could react, Li Jing jumped vertically, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed like lightning, and a servant had already fallen.Immediately following Li Jing's other special forces soldiers also arrived quickly, and took out the other seven with just a few knives.

"Shoot the arrow and tell the other brothers to act immediately, let's charge in!" Li Jing shouted, and kicked open the door of the hall first.

boom!

Wang Jingwu only heard a loud bang at the hall door, and then saw a man who looked like a soldier of the commander-in-chief rush in with a sharp long knife.He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while.However, Song Wei and the others reacted quickly, and when they saw Li Jing rushing in, they couldn't help showing an excited expression.Song Wei, who was closest to Wang Jingwu, immediately drew out a dagger from his waist, and everyone else did the same.

When they were seated, Song Wei handed over the swords they were carrying to the steward of the palace, but no one cared about the extremely beautifully decorated daggers on everyone's waists.But at this time, these daggers have all become weapons.In an instant, Song Wei rushed to Wang Jingwu holding a dagger inlaid with gold and jade.

The duel between generals is not on the battlefield, but in this night banquet.

One is the old man on the battlefield, and the other is the general of Qingzhou.
