Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118 Night of Wugong County

As a politician, the most frustrating thing is falling into a trap carefully set up by others, but what is even more disturbing is knowing that the big hole ahead is dug by others, but for various reasons , had to bite the bullet and jump into the pit. Anyone who encounters such disgusting things will be unlucky, and now Li Zhen is undoubtedly the unlucky one with the No. On the next morning, he had to lead the officers and men of the Habayashi Army who seemed to be unreliable and hurried on the road to Qizhou, starting a journey that was not really smooth.

Qizhou, named after Mount Qi, was named Chencang in ancient times. It was the Chencang that built the plank road and crossed Chencang secretly. It is not far from Chang'an, but it is only separated by Xingping, Wugong and Meixian counties, about four It looks like less than a hundred miles, because there are a lot of mountain roads, the road conditions are really not good, but if you ride a fast horse and drive all night, you can reach it in two days, which is not far behind at all, but For the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who guard the imperial city all day long and rarely leave the capital, it is a rare leisure trip. No, just after leaving the boundary of the capital, the team of more than 200 people slowed down and walked all the way. , and stopped to rest from time to time, besides, with Li Zhen, a rich man, food and drink are indispensable, eating and drinking all the way, laughing and laughing all the way, not at all the posture of a business trip, on the contrary, it is comparable to a spring outing, It's just that in the midst of being cheerful, Li Zhen is very annoyed deep down in her heart. Without him, this bunch of shit Habayashi really turned off Li Zhen's appetite.

A bunch of trash!This is Li Zhen's final comment to the two hundred or so soldiers of the Habayashi Army. Although Li Zhen doesn't expect the two hundred or so Habayashi Army to be of great use, she still hopes to play such a small role, at least it is more than 200 Man, even if you use it as a shield, you can share some hidden arrows, can't you?But after only being in touch for half a day, Li Zhen found out with disappointment that the starter Habayashi Army is pure waste, just like the so-called guards of honor in later generations. The weapons are very bright, but in fact they are all embroidered pillows, which are nothing more than fancy and useless. It doesn't take much, just the 30 or so personal guards around Li Zhen can easily kill the gang without even sending out the "Eagle Team". All the miscellaneous things will be sent to hell. It is impossible to expect this group of bullshit miscellaneous fish soldiers to fight the upcoming bloody battle. Facing such low-energy subordinates, how can Li Zhen really have fun? .

"Your Highness, Wugong County is ahead. Can you go to the county to rest? If you pass through this county, you will not be able to reach Mei County today. If you miss Sutou, you will have to sleep in the wild. Your Highness, please let me know." Li Zhen was bored. As he rode his horse forward, Zuo Zhonglang of the Habayashi Army brought Liu Dahe to Li Zhen's side, and said with a smile on his face.

Damn it, trash is trash, it's not fake at all!It's just after the application time, and I'm planning to rest, fuck, God knows how can such a gang of idiots keep the safety of the palace ban?In Li Zhen's heart, she really didn't like this group of useless officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army, but she didn't intend to offend these uncles. Just as she was about to say yes, she saw Hou Guoxiao, the deputy envoy standing aside, interjected. Said: "His Royal Highness, I will rush to Qizhou as soon as possible after receiving the holy order. It doesn't matter if I sleep in the open. The sun is still early at this time, so I'd better go on my way."

Uh-huh, I haven't spoken yet, this little monkey raised the flag first, hey, interesting!Although Li Zhen said that he didn't like the pampering of the Yulin Army all these years, but he was even more bored with this bullshit deputy of unknown origin. It's over, Li Zhen was so impatient, if it wasn't because of the importance of this trip, Li Zhen would have kicked him out a long time ago. Feeling sick, he waved his hand, interrupted Hou Guoxiao's innocuous conversation, glanced at Liu Dahe and said, "Then rest in martial arts for one night, well, although this king is on a mission, But it’s not appropriate to disturb the place, just rest in the post outside the city, and the whole army is not allowed to enter the city.”

The reason why Liu Dahe proposed to rest in Wugong County was just to go to the city to have a good time and enjoy the flattery of the local officials. Zhen's face didn't dare to complain, her complexion was ugly as hell, and she didn't move her nest. The "resentment" in her eyes immediately made Li Zhen's goosebumps all over her body, and she forced herself to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart. He smiled and said: "This king will order people to deliver the wine to the post station. Tonight, this king will have a drink with you, and we will start again tomorrow."

"Obey!" As soon as Liu Dahe heard that he had something to eat and drink, he immediately regained his spirits, bowed excitedly, and galloped to the front team. He didn't feel that his face was dishonored, but he continued to move closer to Li Zhen's side, and said with a look of "admiration" on his face: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness King Yue loves soldiers like sons, and seeing him today is indeed the case, I really admire him... ..."

Listening to the endless words of flattery, and looking at Hou Guoxiao's thin lips that kept opening and closing, Li Zhen was so disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly alive. , interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Brother Hou, how about you lead a few sergeants to the post station first?"

A look of color flashed across Hou Guoxiao's eyes, and he bowed respectfully on the horse and said: "I will obey the order of the prince, and I will go and arrange it right now, and I will not disappoint the prince." Watching his own guards of the Marquis Mansion, he galloped towards the direction of Wugong County.

***, this little monkey is really f*cking not to worry me, hey, it looks like the old monkey can't stand it anymore, damn it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of excitement in the future!The color in Hou Guoxiao's eyes can't be hidden from Li Zhen's eyes. Although Li Zhen has not seen the roles of the Hou family father and son in this drama very well, she also knows that the Hou family father and son must also be one of the protagonists, but It's not clear whether the father and son of the later family are playing the clown or the raw one, but Li Zhen doesn't take it too seriously, if there are too many lice, don't bite people, and now the big guys are all focusing on themselves. In fact, the difference between Hou's father and son is not that big. Now Li Zhen doesn't worry about these problems, at least not before meeting Lao Liu. As for what will happen after meeting Lao Liu, that's all. You can only take one step at a time.

Wugong County is only a small county town, with a total of more than a thousand households. The county is not big at all, and it is not located on a major traffic road. Naturally, the post stations outside the city are pitifully small, and there are only seven or eight post stations in total. Pawn, the size of more than a dozen rooms, is still very dilapidated. Even if you know that His Royal Highness King Yue is coming, people all over the inn will start their hands together. After a long time of busy work, they are still shabby, let alone Li Zhen. People with a taste for life, even a group of officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army can't stand it anymore. Besides, these more than 200 people can't all live in such a small post station. Set up a camp next to it, fortunately, I brought along tents and other things for this march. After working for a while, I finally set up the camp hastily, and someone from the martial arts branch of "Yanji Company" sent it After all kinds of food and drink, this is the way to appease a group of officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who are full of resentment. If not, Chen Xuanwang, the magistrate of martial arts who came to welcome him, will have a full meal of old punches.

Li Zhen likes to have a few sips of wine, but because it is in the chaotic moment before the chaos, Li Zhen never wants to cause trouble because of wine, after drinking a few cups with those Habayashi soldiers, After finding an excuse, he went back to his large tent of the Chinese army. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that under the dim light, Nalong, who was dressed as a personal guard, was talking with a person. Before Li Zhen could ask, the person Hastily got up, hurriedly walked in front of Li Zhen, knelt down on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's Tie Er kowtows to His Highness."

"It's you? What happened to Qizhou?" When Li Zhen saw the visitor, she felt a chill in her heart, and hurriedly asked—'Yin Group', as the name suggests, is the code name of the "Rising Sun" who monitors Li Yin, the king of Shu. The people in this group are all code-named with the character Tie, and Tie Er is the number two person in the 'Xin Group'. If there were no major incidents, this person would never appear here at the risk of being exposed, so Li Zhen couldn't help it. Not in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the subordinates are incompetent, the 'Xin Group' was breached, the subordinates suffered heavy casualties, Tie Da died in the line of duty, and only five subordinates escaped danger." Tie Er reported with a gloomy expression.

"Oh?" Li Zhen's expression darkened when he heard that something happened to the "Yin Group". After silently watching Tie Er for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "When did it happen, and who did it?"

Tie Er kowtowed his head and said: "Your Highness, it was yesterday that Tie Si was a traitor, and it was the King of Shu's men who did it. When the subordinates saw the enemy's strength, they did not dare to take it head-on, so they could only retreat separately. The thief Tie Si is here, and the subordinates are forced to leave Qizhou, and the subordinates are incompetent, please punish them."

Iron four?Li Zhen quickly recalled the information about Tiesi, and frowned involuntarily—the "Rising Sun" today is no longer the three or five birds when it was first established, even if Li Zhen has a good memory, it is impossible to remember Everyone's information is kept, but for those elite personnel sent to monitor the brothers, all of them are selected from the orphans trained by "Yanji Company", and all of them have been received by Li Zhen. For these elites, Li Zhen I still know it well, these people are all elites cultivated by Li Zhen over the past ten years, and now I hear that Tie Si is an internal response, how can I not trouble Li Zhen.

There will definitely be traitors, otherwise the 'Xin Group' would not be wiped out, but whether this traitor is Iron Four or not, I'm afraid we can't make a conclusion on this!Li Zhen quickly thought about it in her heart, raised her hand calmly and said: "There is a reason for the incident, and this king will not blame you, since the 'Xin Gang' has been broken, then you should stay by my side first." , I will seek justice for you when I turn back." After a pause, he turned his head and said to Yan Shiba who was following behind him: "Shiba, you take Tie Er down first, discuss it with Chen Liang, and settle Tie Er first. It's all right in the king's personal guard, let's go."

Yan 18 is not very old, but he is an old man of "Rising Sun". Hearing something in Li Zhen's words at this time, he naturally nodded knowingly and said: "Yes, this subordinate obeys." As soon as the words fell, he led Tie Er out on his own account away.

"Sir, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter." After Tie Er withdrew and was about to leave, Li Zhen bit her lip and said darkly.

Although Nalong is the general manager of "Rising Sun", he manages it with great care on weekdays. Unfortunately, the time he took over is too short, and he doesn't know the overall composition of "Rising Sun". When Zhen said this, her complexion immediately became tense. Just when she was thinking about how to respond, she saw Li Zhen's complexion suddenly changed, and she made a gesture of silence. chastity
