Song Dynasty

Chapter 273 Reunion

At this moment, there was a sound of commotion from behind, followed by the crackling sound of guns being drawn on people's bodies and the screams of soldiers.

Li Cheng was taken aback, hurried to the entrance of the lobby, and shouted: "What's the matter, what's the mess?"

I saw a group of soldiers fleeing in embarrassment with their heads in their hands, followed by Chen Lanruo who was wearing short spears in his hands.

As she walked, she slapped those soldiers fiercely with a gun, and cursed: "You guys can make mistakes here, the king of heaven, and you are talking about killing Wang Shen. I didn't know that the king of heaven gave this order. It must be Tao He overstepped his authority and ordered, hehe, you guys are so courageous, you do what Tao says, and if he tells you to eat shit, you go too?"

Hearing her scolding badly, Tao Zisi hurriedly said: "General Chen, you can't say that."

Chen Lanruo gave him a sidelong glance: "If you don't say that, what should you say? In front of the father-in-law, what crime should you say that you exceed your authority and mobilize soldiers?"

Tao Zisi: "As the mastermind of an army, there are some things that the lord can't think of, and we subordinates have to do it for him."

"Heck." Chen Lanruo sneered loudly: "It's nice to say that today you can dispatch troops without the order of the heavenly king, and tomorrow you can usurp rebellion. If you are allowed to be so rampant, it's hard to say that I and the heavenly king and my father and daughter To be beheaded by soldiers dispatched in one day in your sleep is to be a fool."

This is already a very serious accusation. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, when ceremonies collapsed and music was broken, not only rogues merged with rogues, but also officers and soldiers merged with each other. matter.

It was the time when the imperial court was using troops, and when encountering such a thing, everyone would hold their noses and admit it.

Hearing what Chen Lanruo said, Tao Zisi couldn't bear it, and his face changed drastically: "General Chen, I am loyal to the king of heaven, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Lanruo: "Are you talking nonsense? The surname Tao, I remember that you are not a military counselor. The mobilization of troops is not within your scope of authority?"

Li Cheng: "Okay, I have absolute trust in Zisi and Lan Ruo. The reason why Zisi set up soldiers in Xingyuan today is just to set up a guard of honor to welcome Daosi. After all, he is the military envoy of the imperial court who governs Jinghu Lake." , etiquette is irreplaceable."

Tao Zisi said again and again: "That's right, that's right."

Chen Lanruo just looked at him fiercely, and said: "Tao Zisi, Wang Shen brought troops to Hunan to fight against the Kou, but he came to help us, don't make a mistake, and ruin the reputation of the king of heaven."

While talking, someone from outside came to report: "Heavenly King, Wang Junshi is here."

Li Cheng laughed and said: "Hurry up, open the middle door, and I will go out to meet Wang Zhaojuu."

Chen Lanruo trembled, and then calmed down.

Everyone immediately opened the middle door and greeted them out.

"Boyou, it has been a year since we left Huaixi that day. The war in the south of the Yangtze River is intense, and the army is in a hurry. I thought I didn't know how many years it will be until we see each other again. Unexpectedly, we will be together again so soon, and we are overjoyed. "

The voice was still the same, but with a little more majesty, which made people feel strange.

No need to ask, this is Wang Shen Wang Daosi who has wiped out the entire Jianghan in the past year and made the rebellion against the left-behind divisions in Tokyo fearful.

This thief man!
Chen Lanruo suddenly raised her head and looked over fiercely, and saw a tall figure walking over surrounded by a group of well-dressed guards and Dingzhou Zhizhou Wen Mingxuan.

"The last general, Li Cheng, has seen the envoy." Li Cheng changed his previous majesty in the army and bowed respectfully.Now, he is just an envoy to catch and kill, while Wang Shen is an envoy to recruit and build a mansion. He is only one step away from Jiedu, and only one step away from being called "Xianggong".

It's only been a year, and the little brother in the past has made such a big career.

A thief... He really deserves to be a hero. The man I, Chen Lanruo, can't do better.

Chen Lanruo's heart was sweet and sour at the same time, her eyes looked more carefully.

I saw that compared with a year ago, Wang Shen's body was stronger.Today, he didn't wear an official robe, but only wore a washed white linen shirt, looking like an ordinary citizen.However, those eyes were no longer as gentle as before, and the lazy smile was no longer on his face.

On the contrary, it is as bright as a knife, and when it falls on you, it makes people feel like all the hairs on your body stand on end.

A powerful aura that only the superior can control everything emanates from him.

Wang Shen laughed, grabbed Li Cheng's hand, and said loudly: "Heavenly King, you and I have a fateful friendship, so it's a blessing."

As he said that, he looked back at a scribe beside him, and said, "Yan Xuanzan, this is Li Boyou, Brother Li, whom I think about day and night."

The scribe smiled slightly, but did not salute: "Shenwu Deputy Army is in command, Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang North Road are recruiting and setting envoys Xingyuan Zanhua Yan said that Meng has met Li Jun envoys."

That's right, this person is Yan Yuemeng.Although his official position is small, the seventh-rank official of the prime minister's family, as Xingyuan Xuanzan, is a person with real power.

According to the rules, when the magistrates saw him, they would come forward and salute him.

Seeing Yan Yuemeng with his chest up and belly in his hands, Li Cheng frowned in an unknown way, and just waited to cup his hands and said, "I've seen Xuan Zan."

The guards behind Li Cheng all looked angry.

Wang Shen smiled again: "Okay, everyone has met. I have heard about the Hunan incident in Jianghan. Let's go to the lobby to discuss the matter!"

At this time, his eyes fell on Chen Lanruo, and he moved away with a glance, his eyes looked unusually calm.

Then, he took Li Cheng's hand and strode towards the hall.

Strange to say, Li Cheng can be regarded as an imposing person, and Wang Shen is half a head shorter walking beside him.But walking beside Li Tianwang, Wang Shen seemed to be radiant, and immediately covered him.

In this way, it seems that everyone has become his foil.

Entering the lobby, Wang Shen sat straight in the main seat, while Li Cheng and Jian Ming chose to sit aside.

Wang Shen: "Okay, let's talk about how the Hunan War was fought before." Then he smiled at Li Cheng: "Brother Li, you are a landlord and are familiar with the battle situation. After my brother came here, his eyes were darkened. Ask the generals of the Li family army."

Li Cheng smiled: "Li Cheng is incompetent. After coming to Hunan for half a year, he was trapped in various counties and counties by monsters. It is a joke to recruit envoys. This time you dumped the army to the south, and played really well in Lizhou. It can be regarded as letting Li Chengsong Take a breath."

"Brother Li is humble, brother, I am ashamed. Although I regained some lost ground in Lizhou, I didn't gain much. The demons and thieves come and go like the wind, which is the most troublesome. However, I seem to have figured out some of the enemy's routes now. They are nothing more than familiar with the terrain, and have seduced the fools of the villagers in the three states. Seeing that they can't get any advantage in the battle, they turned the army into a small group of Tibetan soldiers...continuously harassing, eat my team today, and fight tomorrow I am a pawn... but I want to accumulate a small victory into a big victory, and finally achieve an advantage in the balance of power..."

"The Heavenly King's response was also correct in the first place. He gave up the township and night, and only guarded the cities and passes in various places. From this point, using the official road as a network, and using points as a network, he divided the base areas of the bandit army so that the scattered small groups of troops could not interact with each other. echo……"

"And destroy the manpower and material supplies of the monsters, making them poor and hungry soldiers, unable to stay in the Dongting Lake area."

"However, thieves come like locusts, and thieves go without a blade of grass. Even if they can't stay in the Dongting Lake area, they can go to other places to feed the army. In the end, this banditry problem still cannot be solved."

Wang Shen talked eloquently, and finally said: "So the method of the Heavenly King's four-sided net can only trap the monster for a while, but it can't tie him forever. The enemy we are facing is poorly equipped and weak in combat power, so it may not be worth mentioning in a field battle." However, they are familiar with the local people's conditions, and they are cunning and cunning. Once they are familiar with the sending of the king of heaven, they will definitely come up with countermeasures. According to the current situation, our army will fight less and less, and the demons will We are fighting more and more. The enemy we are facing is completely different from the previous form of warfare. The enemy has a strong popular base. To put it bluntly, even if it is persuasion, they can be regarded as winning the hearts of the people. I will fall into the ocean if I wait for a bad one among."

Finally, he paused.Looking around, the light on his body silently enveloped Li Chengjun and all the civil and military officials in Dingzhou: "This battle is fast and not slow. We must find the location of Zhong Xiang's puppet court in the shortest possible time. The pot is over. Let me ask you, you have been in Hunan for half a year, do you know where Zhong Xiang is now?"

When he first came, Wang Shen called each other brother Li affectionately, but now his face is serious, it is already the boss's inquiry to his subordinates.

Strange to say, everyone was shocked after hearing Wang Shen's eloquent words just now.I really didn't expect that the king's emissary came to Hunan for only a few days, but he was familiar with the inside story of the Mani monster and analyzed it so clearly.

Before he knew it, the entire Li Chengbu was suppressed by his aura.

Even Li Cheng responded subconsciously: "Reporting to the envoy, although the culprits have set up many fortresses in various states and counties, the culprits change their defenses frequently and there is no news from our army, but they don't know where Xiang Zhong is now?"

Wang Shen nodded with a cold face: "Don't worry, the military envoy will take care of finding out the whereabouts of Prime Minister Zhong."

Li Cheng was a little surprised: "Do you have any clues about recruiting envoys?"

"There will be news within ten days and a half months." Wang Shen said: "Our troops are here to fight against the invaders in Hunan. The journey is long and the food and supplies are in short supply, which is not conducive to the march of the brigade, because I did not bring many troops. If we find out the whereabouts of Prime Minister Zhong, our army will The soldiers of Beiwei will send out their main forces, and the Heavenly King will also send troops to help."

Li Cheng: "Naturally."

Wang Shen's face turned cold again, and he glanced at the generals of the Li family army below: "Army, this battle is related to the overall situation of Hunan. If there is a war, it should be banned by order. A certain is the Jingbei North Road and Xiangyang North Road appointed by the imperial court. Ding The soldiers and horses of the three prefectures of Li, Li, and Chen are also under my control. I hope that brothers in Paoze will fight the enemy bravely, and don't let people down. Otherwise, the military law will be ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled slightly and said to Li Chengdao: "Heavenly King, in my heart, you will always be my brother Boyou, and my brother will take you to give orders, offend, offend."

Li Cheng said with a smile: "No matter what the envoys say, the imperial court system is the system, and there are only ups and downs in military affairs, only order, and only rules."

Wang Shen laughed loudly: "Well said, Brother Li, now that the business is over, let's talk about brotherhood. I heard that the state and local gentry have set up a banquet, so let's go over to drink and talk. You and I have known each other for so long. Have never been happy together, and I don't know how big brother's drinking capacity is?"

Li Cheng: "I won't lose to Dao Si."

The two laughed and stood up arm in arm.
