Chapter 231: The Yellow Sparrow (5)
Lan Ziyi and Qiu Xiaozhi's words to Li Guangzhong made Li Guangzhong extremely embarrassed, and Lan Ziyi also knew that this was very faceless to Li Guangzhong, but it was necessary to do so, because Li Guangzhong was not a brother of the Tao family, not a father and son of the Qiu family, nor Wei Qionglou,
The Tao brothers and Lan Ziyi are the masters and servants, they are actually brothers, the Tao brothers' father Tao Lao Yu is Lan Ziyi's grandfather's personal attendant, from the grandfather's generation to Lan Ziyi's generation, the Tao brothers grew up with Lan Ziyi, know the roots, one is prosperous, one is lost, their loyalty is undoubted, and their relationship with Lan Ziyi will not be easily cut off,
Although the father and son of the Qiu family came to vote halfway, the father and son of the Qiu family could not have any chance of getting ahead except relying on Lan Ziyi, and after this period of running-in, Lan Ziyi could also see that these two people were not repeated villains, and they were also dedicated to assisting Lan Ziyi, of course, they could be reappointed.
Wei Qionglou is the general of the Dongji Tiger Battalion. It is by no means a simple matter to be promoted to the Jingying battalion, either Wei Qionglou has a strong background behind him, or Wei Qionglou has made outstanding achievements, and the Beijing camp and even the forbidden army have not fought for many years, and Wei Qionglou is more likely to rise up by background, so for Wei Qionglou, Lan Ziyi can only rely on Tao Zhuhu to set up a relationship, and influence Wei Qionglou's decision-making through Tao Zhuhu's personal relationship with Wei Qionglou and Lan Ziyi's own identity.
Li Guangzhong is not any of these three situations, he only kept up with Lan Ziyi from the Battle of Yuzhou, and he was born in the forbidden army, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, which was used to ensure the safety of the imperial court and suppress the existence of the feudal town.
Although Li Guangzhong's performance in this battle is acceptable and obedient, but he is an outsider after all, Lan Ziyi is not helpful to help Li Guangzhong replace Wei Qionglou in the position of Dongji Tiger Camp, nor does he value Li Guangzhong's talent much, as far as Lan Ziyi's Tao family brothers and Qiu family father and son are now under him, which one is on par with Li Guangzhong, and he can rest assured that he can use it,
The reason why Lan Ziyi helped Li Guangzhong was that he wanted to take the opportunity to insert his own people into the Beijing camp and make a little preliminary preparation for what would happen after the thieves were pacified in the future, although Lan Ziyi didn't know what would happen in the future, but Lan Ziyi's intuition told him that what was going to happen was definitely a bloody storm.
Although the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son reassured Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi could not help any of them to the position of the commander of the Jihu Battalion, and the only person who was qualified to replace the position of the Jihu Battalion and was still Lan Ziyi was Li Guangzhong, and Li Guangzhong himself was not so reassuring to Lan Ziyi, so it became necessary to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
Today, Li Guangzhong brought up the dirty matter between Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun in front of Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi actually admires Li Guangzhong's courage, and Li Guangzhong's question also proves his loyalty to the country, but what Lan Ziyi needs in the future is not Li Guangzhong's loyalty to the court and the emperor, what he needs is Li Guangzhong's loyalty to himself, which Qiu Xiaozhi also sees clearly, so the two of them forced Li Guangzhong to stand in line one after another.
Lan Ziyi sat on the seat, looking at Li Guangzhong, who was red-faced and red-eared, and did not dare to speak, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time Lan Ziyi felt an unspeakable self-blame in his heart.
Qiu Xiaozhi also witnessed the change in Li Guangzhong's expression, although taking advantage of Li Guangzhong verbally tonight could not completely make Li Guangzhong stand on Lan Ziyi's side, but something is better than nothing, and it is always a good thing to put some pressure on him.
Qiu Xiaozhi wanted to talk to Lan Ziyi about something serious before going to bed, so he turned his head and asked Lan Ziyi:
"I've been thinking about what Wei Hou told me about entering the city today, and I always feel that something is wrong."
Lan Ziyi lowered his head and was distracted, pinched his eyebrows after hearing Qiu Xiaozhi's question, raised his head and said to Qiu Xiaozhi:
"I also think it's wrong, but it's not right."
Qiu Wenruo never spoke, and then spoke:
"According to Wei Hou, there are two things that are doubtful,
First, since the thieves wanted to leave, why did they let a team of cavalry meet the side of the officers and soldiers, risking their lives to escape before finally escaping from the waterway, taking the waterway or going downstream, indicating that this was Lei Youde's person, why did Lei Youde do this;
Second, how did Lei Youde hide from the demon thief and cut the throat of the king of heaven, and arrange for him to be unable to escape in the mansion, waiting for the marquis to come and cut off people's heads, this is really amazing. “
Lan Ziyi listened to Qiu Wenruo's words and asked:
"Mr. Wen Ruo just thinks it's strange that Lei Youde has hidden this matter from the demon thief, don't you think it's strange that Lei Youde let go of the Heavenly King and ignore this matter?"
Qiu Wenruo smiled when he heard this, and Qiu Xiaozhi replied for his son:
"Isn't it obvious that Lei Youde borrowed a knife to kill people? Why did Wei Hou ask knowingly? ”
Lan Ziyi also lowered his head and smiled when he heard this,
Qiu Wenruo continued:
"So it's not a question of why Lei Youde did this, it's a question of how he did it."
Qiu Xiaozhi said again:
"And he obviously wants to continue to use the demon law to entrap the demon kou, but it is difficult for him to win the hearts of the people under the banner of the demon law."
Qiu Wenruo took a sip of tea, looked at his father and said:
"Although Lei Youde deducted the death of the Heavenly King on Wei Hou's head, the paper can't contain the fire, and what he does will definitely preach the thief Kou army,
In my opinion, Lei Youde must use military exploits to cover up his unjustifiable birth defects, the king of heaven can lead troops around, Lei Youde can't, Lei Youde will definitely attack the capital. “
Qiu Xiaozhi and Lan Ziyi nodded in agreement when they heard Qiu Wenruo say this,
Qiu Xiaozhi says:
"Son, what you said makes a lot of sense,
In this way, Lei Youde's next move can be judged.
If Lei Youde wants to attack the capital, what else is hindering him now? Or does Lei Youde have any worries? “
Lan Ziyi thought for a while and said:
"If Lei Youde has to worry about crossing the river to attack the capital, then only Qi Rongxun and I plan to join up in Shouchun to fight the thieves to the death."
Qiu Wenruo squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, almost asking himself:
"Then if the thieves want to defeat the last official army in Jiangbei, what should they do?"
When this question was asked, everyone fell silent, and after a while, Qiu Xiaozhi said:
"With the power of thieves, even if we wait until our three armies join forces, we have the ability to defeat us, but Lei Youde has just killed the Heavenly King and seized power, and it will not be a good thing for him to hold on to the official army."
Qiu Wenruo nodded and said:
"Father is right, Lei has the German army is unstable, once he is in a standoff with the official army, even if it is an evenly matched field battle, as long as he shows a little decline, I am afraid that his people will fall apart.
So what Lei Youde should do is to break each one. “
Lan Ziyi said silently when he heard this
"And now Lei Youde's main forces are all on the boat and going downstream."
Lan Ziyi's words were like brine dripping into the bean paste, and the atmosphere in the whole room was condensed into a block by this sentence.
Lan Ziyi rubbed his eyes, his sleepiness was completely gone, if Lei Youde really led the water army to the east to break the westward army, it would be bad.
Lan Ziyi held his head with his hand and said slowly:
"Lei Youde went out of the city after the infighting in Shouchun City, and the scouts came to report that there was a big change in the city, and Lei Youde and the Heavenly King fought in Shouchun City for two days, he shouldn't have that kind of strength, he shouldn't even be in charge of the whole army."
Qiu Xiaozhi was holding the tea bowl, he didn't drink the tea, but opened the teacup lid and looked at the tea silently, the tea was already cold, the loose tea leaves sank to the bottom of the teacup, a bowl of tea was lifeless, and there was no change in the middle
Qiu Xiaozhi put the tea bowl back on the table, smacked his tongue and asked:
"But how did Wei Hou know that Lei Youde had been fighting for two days? As far as I know, the scouts have been observing outside the city, and Erlang has not been in contact with our army's eyeliner in Shouchun City, and we don't know what is going on in Shouchun City. “
Qiu Wenruo also said with a solemn face:
"To say that the thieves fought in the city for two days, and what we saw outside was a city full of flames, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the city should be worse than Ruyin and Xiangfan, but what we saw when we entered the city was a well-preserved city.
Except that all the gates were burned down. “
Qiu Xiaozhi frowned and glanced at his son, and said:
"I heard Erlang's sergeant say that there are traces of thieves burning in the city, and there are them everywhere, could it be that the thieves did this on purpose?"
Lan Ziyi couldn't sit still anymore when he heard this, got up and sighed:
"The demon thief is insidious and cunning, how can he be so difficult!"
Lan Ziyi sighed and sat back in his chair, and the others were silent, not daring to talk.
Lan Ziyi sat on the chair and said dejectedly:
"If the people of the world were as benevolent and filial as the people who fished out the corpses on the river yesterday, where would my Taizheng suffer such a man-made disaster as it is now?"
Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo both widened their eyes when they heard this, and Qiu Xiaozhi even asked Lan Ziyidao:
"What did you say, Wei Hou?"
Lan Ziyi saw Qiu Xiaozhi's expression and knew that it was not good, but he hadn't figured out what was going on, so he told him about the collection of corpses by the people on the river yesterday.
Without waiting for Lan Ziyi to finish speaking, Qiu Wenruo interrupted Lan Ziyi, stood up and said:
"Wei Hou, you are so confused! Have we seen a living person along the way on the march these days? Where will people go down to the river to collect the corpses? And it's also people who come from downstream and swim upstream! ”
Lan Ziyi heard Qiu Wenruo's question as if his head had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned, and he suddenly realized that the boat at that time was the eye sent out in Shouchun City, and Lan Ziyi was completely immersed in his feelings at that time, ignoring all the doubts.
Qiu Xiaozhi slowly clenched his fists, hammered it on the table and said:
"So the gang of thieves and cavalry who came to Wei Hou was just to lure Wei Hou into the city to chase and kill the Heavenly King, so that the Heavenly King's guards would find out that something was wrong and escape and leak the news?"
Qiu Xiao's straight voice fell, and there was no sound in the room, and Li Guangzhong, who was told by Lan Ziyi just now, didn't dare to answer, found out the seriousness of the problem at this time, and clenched his fists nervously.
Qiu Xiaozhi was the first to react from the dead silence, got up and rushed to Lan Ziyi's side, grabbed Lan Ziyi's hand and said:
"Weihou, we can't continue to stay in the city, this is Lei Youde's trap, there are no city gates on all sides, this city can't be defended, if the thieves kill a horse pistol and come over, we will be finished."
Qiu Wenruo also recovered from the shock, got up and said:
"Wei Hou, we should go out of the city to the southwest, stationed by the Slender Water River, and if the situation is not right, we can retreat south along the river to Luzhou."
Lan Ziyi's teeth bit deep into his lips, and the tip of his tongue had already tasted the salty and wet taste of blood.
Lan Ziyi blamed himself for not discovering these suspicions.
But now there is no time to blame himself, Lan Ziyi got up and yelled after Qiu Xiaozhi came over and grabbed his hand:
"Someone! Give me the order! “
