Chapter 859: Help
After gradually understanding the emperor's intentions, he was naturally loyal to this Bole, and he was even more desperately loyal, which also made him gradually and truly grasp the power near Jiangnan.
Emperor Li Jing even delegated power, and when it came to major decisions, as long as it was beneficial to the imperial court. He will support it, and it will naturally be more beneficial to this side!
This time, he is naturally one of the main participants in the plan to encircle the southern part of the Northland. It is not only responsible for the surveillance of the Tang State, but also shoulders the blow to the Huaibei of the Central Plains.
After receiving the secret report that Zhang Wenbiao left the city, Yongzhou City was responsible for blocking the confusion and intercepting Zhang Wenbiao's footsteps. Shaozhou used Guo Jing as the main force to exert pressure to prevent Zhou Xingfeng from going south to reinforce the secret party to carry out the assassination operation, and then Pan Chongche rushed to Hengzhou City to seize the city.
Everything in the Tang Kingdom is quite stable at present, and there is no possibility of any changes. This is also the main reason why Qu Quji and Pan Chongche boldly went north. Advancing from the north to the south can have a solid backing, and if it is Guo Jing's action in Chudi, it is very likely to be outflanked by Zhou Xingfeng.
After receiving Pan Chongche's message, Qu Quji's heart was inevitably full of passion. After all, it was the emperor's plan to go north to Chudi, and it was also a huge change in his life for Qu Quji. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it will cause a sensation all over the world.
Jinling City has always been a nightmare for the small imperial court in the south and unable to advance northward, and there is no precedent for entering the Central Plains from north to south since ancient times. When I think of this, it is inevitable that my heart cannot be calm.
arranged for the deputy general Ye Tu to guard Suizhou, and Qu Qujian personally led the team to come to Hengzhou City to help. Hengzhou City is known as the south gate of Chudi, and it is guarded by Zhang Wenbiao, the number one general under Zhou Xingfeng, which is a symbol of the undefeated land of Chu.
During this period of following Pan Chongche, Qu Qujian has studied Zhang Wenbiao in depth. Zhang Wenbiao is an emerging general in Chudi, and after Ma Chu withdrew from Chudi, he is known as the fierce general among the ten brothers in Chudi.
This person was loyal to Zhou Xingfeng, and when Pan Chongche was stationed in Chenzhou, he had conflicts with Zhang Wenbiao in Guiyang Prison. However, because of the topography of Wuling, and the changing pattern of Chudi, and more importantly, Pan Chongche was afraid of the suspicion of the imperial court, so there was no in-depth result.
But now that he has been instructed by Emperor Liu Jixing, and the emperor has personally laid out the layout, it is imperative to attack Hengzhou City. The passion in Qu Quji's heart is naturally unlimited, and it is the glory of a courtier to open up territory for the emperor and the imperial court.
Although there are not too many people and horses this time, after all, Suizhou City has just been established, and there are still too many unstable factors around. But for the current military strength of Chudi, and the current situation of Hengzhou City, the 1,000 people who followed behind Qu Qujian still have strength.
The mountains around Wuling are special, and many complex terrains have been formed in Chudi. It not only hinders the normal team's walking, but also facilitates a sneak attack on the march.
As early as two months ago, Pan Chongche arranged spies to cooperate with the secret party in Chu and found a shortcut to go deep into Chu. Nowadays, this mountain road, which is usually walked by villagers, has undoubtedly become the key to entering Chu.
No matter how shrewd Zhang Wenbiao was, he couldn't imagine that Qu Qujian would break through the defense line with a rapid march by land and water. What's more, because the dividing line between Chudi and Lingnan is too long, it is impossible to defend everywhere with many troops. Qu Quji led the team in, and it was simply an unimpeded in-depth.
Yanling and Anren County, which passed by along the way, even if someone saw it, they might not be able to stop this force. What's more, Qu Quji still cleverly avoided the pass and the water village, and in the face of the general trend, these small forces do not need to be uprooted at all.
However, in order to avoid affecting the itinerary, Qu Qujian naturally couldn't blatantly enter Chudi, so Qu Quji led his personal guards to go first, and opened the way for the 1,000 soldiers behind him. The 1,000 soldiers behind him avoided extraneous branches, but they followed up on a long journey.
Although this road is a march by foot force, it is actually only a few dozen miles of mountain roads, plus nearly 100 miles of water, land and water bamboo rows. But considering the guards of Pan Chongche in Hengzhou City, if he arrived in Hengzhou City one minute earlier, he could naturally retain a little more power in the city.
Naturally, he believed in Pan Chongche's ability, but he also knew that there were not many people around him. What's more, Hengzhou City is Zhang Wenbiao's lair, although it temporarily occupies this city, but Zhang Wenbiao will definitely have hole cards.
Seeing that it was not too far from Hengzhou City, Qu Quji was also praying in his heart, hoping that Pan Chongche would not have any accidents. The occupation of Hengzhou City is an important part of this plan, which can not only completely lock Zhang Wenbiao, but also decide whether to completely occupy Chunan.
Hanging on his side was a special nine-foot horse chopping knife, with a blade four feet long and a handle of five feet. This knife was personally ordered by Emperor Liu Jixing to be cast, and it is two feet longer than the standard seven-foot horse chopping knife. Using the casting technique of 100 refined steel and secret making, the entire Southern Han Dynasty court only had two.
It is said that the horse chopping knife in Qu Quji's hand was personally asked by Pan Chongche to ask the emperor for Qu Quji's immediate weapon. Pan Chongche said that Qu Qu was born with divine power, and he had an excellent talent for the way of swords.
The weapon used in the past was a thick-backed knife handed down by the ancestors of the Qu family. Because of this inheritance, Qu Qu has not been questioned in the Qu family. Of course, because of this reason, Qu Quji is a little detached in the Qu family.
Many people question how this thick-backed knife could come into the hands of Qu Quji, not to mention the inheritance of the descendants of the Qu family, even the descendants of the concubines are also a lot. This thick-backed knife is a weapon that accompanied the King of Jiaozhou from Jiaozhou and went all the way to the Xingwang Mansion.
As the founding king of the Southern Han Dynasty, the transcendence of Qu Hao, the king of Jiaozhou, is well known. He followed Gaozu Liu Yan to fight everywhere and won a hereditary grace for the Qu family. And this thick-backed knife has also become a symbol of the King of Jiaozhou, if it wasn't for the death of the King of Jiaozhou handed over to Qu Quji, I am afraid that Qu Quji would have already been divided by the children of the Qu family.
Becoming one of the top ten elites of the Qu family is naturally infinitely envious to outsiders, but for many children of the Qu family, they feel aggrieved and helpless. Even if Qu Quji followed the song at the beginning, it made many of the children of the Qu family deeply hostile to Qu Quji.
However, since Qu Quji joined the emperor, was appreciated by the emperor and entered the Dongguan Military Academy, and personally cultivated for a few months and was awarded a heavy position, this knife can really be regarded as Qu Quji.
Now this thick-backed knife has been carried on the waist, and the horse chopping knife has become the main weapon of Qu Quji, even if Qu Qu Ji continues to practice knife skills, because there are many tooth guards around him, he will rarely use it.
There are similarities between the thick-backed knife and Pan Chongche's overlord knife, both of which belong to short-handed knives. Qu Quji failed to get the stunt personally taught by the king of Jiaozhou, but he didn't expect to be close to Pan Chongche.
