Chapter 975: 60,000 reinforcements
The Dengzhou emergency report had already been sent to the capital, and Wu Qimai only narrowed his eyes slightly when he received this urgent report, which didn't seem to be too strange, because until now he clearly remembered Xu Zizhen's words when he left.
"Are you looking for me for tea? Scold. ”
This is Wu Qimai's study, and few people can enter here except him on weekdays, but today there are two more people - Zhu Ben and Wan Yan Jing.
Since the last time Xu Zizhen made a big fuss in Huining Mansion, Wanyan Jing has almost replaced the previous Wanyan Ji, that is, the status of his brother, and now more than half of the important ministers of the central government have been friends with him, and the book has always been Wu Qimai's henchman, and his performance in the last Sagai rebellion speaks for itself, so now Wu Qimai's closest people are only the two of them.
Wan Yan Jing was still the same as before, his face seemed to be smiling all the time, he poked his head and glanced at the emergency report, and said in a slurp: "This Xu Zizhen is very interesting, and he still hasn't given up, is it possible that he thinks that he can calm the Huining Mansion by himself?" ”
He pondered for a moment next to him and said: "It is rumored that Zhao Gou and him have turned against each other, in my opinion, this matter is probably Xu Zizhen's plan, but I don't know what his plan is." ”
Wan Yan Jing sneered and said: "Hey, what kind of plan can there be, it's nothing more than to make us relax, but it's really a superfluous move, Zhao Gou is the same as whether he turns his face or not, could it be that he can kill us by sneaking his way?" ”
Wu Qimai didn't speak, only smiled slightly, and seemed to agree with Yan Jing's words, but suddenly coughed violently.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Wan Yan Jing and Hu Ben were startled, and hurriedly got up and came over, but Wu Qimai gradually stopped coughing, waved his hand and said, "It's okay." After speaking, he paused, and then chuckled, "Xu Zizhen has always liked to use strange soldiers, I want to see where he entered my imperial city this time." ”
He hesitated for a moment and asked: "Since Xu Zizhen came from the sea, Yichen foolishly saw that the coastal ports should each send additional manpower. ”
Wu Qimai waved his hand: "It's good if you decide, go down." ”
"Yes, the minister is retiring!"
After reading the book and Wan Yanjing, they didn't say anything more and withdrew from the study.
Wu Qimai looked at the urgent report in his hand, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and muttered: "Xu Zizhen, I want to see who is more clever between you and Wushu, but it's a pity...... cough cough ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly coughed again, this cough was much more violent than just now, Wu Qimai seemed to be afraid of being heard, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and made a dull sound, after a while, he slowly stopped, Wu Qimai took the handkerchief, but saw scarlet dots.
Outside the study, in the garden, Wan Yanjing stopped, turned his head and asked, "You want to increase troops along the coast?" How much? ”
He was stunned for a moment and replied: "There are many ports along the coast, I don't know where Xu Zizhen is going, I thought that 60,000 horses would be added first, and he would be stationed in Liaoyang, and he could rush to help in time no matter where he was, what did Xiang Ye think?" ”
Wan Yanjing grabbed his chin and thought about it: "It's okay, but I think it's better for you to go there in person, Brother Hu, and few people can see through Xu Zizhen." ”
I really want to say that you give me face, where can I see through him? He really wanted Wan Yan Jing to lead the team to reinforcements and stay in the imperial city by himself, but Wan Yan Jing opened his mouth first, but it was not easy to refuse, and then after speaking, although Yan Jing was treacherous and cunning, but fortunately, he was still sincere to the current saint, so he gritted his teeth and responded.
"Okay, then there will be Lao Xiangye in the imperial city."
Wan Yanjing waved his hand disappreciatively: "With you and Brother Ben in charge, he Xu Zizhen can't beat the imperial city." ”
So on the same day, 60,000 forbidden troops marched to Liaoyang Mansion, and 5,000 scouts dispersed to the territory of 100 miles south of Huining Mansion as the center.
……
Song, Ying Tianfu.
Zhao Gou held a letter in his hand, his expression was surprised and happy, and there was some vague worry, and in front of him stood a man, who was one of the old horse thieves in Xu Zizhen's Shenji camp.
The old horse thief looked at the guards beside Zhao Gou and said, "Xu ...... The instructor asked me to give a message to the official. ”
Zhao Gou waved his hand, and after all the guards withdrew, the old horse thief said in a low voice: "The instructor said that the official family is the longest-lived emperor of the entire Great Song Dynasty, so don't worry about it." ”
No matter which dynasty these words are placed in, no one will dare to say this to the emperor, but Xu Zizhen dares, and Zhao Gou will not blame, on the contrary, he was only stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then a trace of joy appeared between his eyebrows.
I don't know when it began, Zhao Gou became extremely convinced of what Xu Zizhen said, just like Xu Zizhen mentioned the word "future" to him more than once, and now this "future" has really come, but it is this trust, and Zhao Gou's heart has sprouted a kind of fear, a fear that has become deeper and deeper over time.
"Got it, go ahead." Zhao Gou pressed the complicated emotions in his heart and said, but his brows furrowed again.
The old horse thief didn't leave, but smiled and said in a low voice: "The instructor also said that if the official family feels difficult, they should go to Liu Fengsui." ”
"Huh? Looking for Liu Fengsui? Zhao Gou couldn't help but be stunned, he just frowned, could it be that this horse thief knew what he was thinking and what he was worried about? Or did Xu Zizhen figure it out earlier?
The old horse thief retreated, and Zhao Gou groaned for a moment, but still found Liu Feng with him.
"We're looking at the official family."
Now Liu Fengsui has already cleared his charges, restored his meritorious body, and is stationed in Yingtianfu with Uncle Zhang at night, waiting for the "call" of his righteous brother Xu Zizhen at any time.
Zhao Gou's impression of Liu Fengsui is still good, although he is Xu Zizhen's brother, but his loyalty to the monarch is true, so in the face of Liu Feng, he did not put on a posture at any time, but said with a smile: "Calm down, do you know why I came to you?" ”
Liu Fengsui is a person who understands the rules, and he has been keeping his head down since he entered the house, not looking around, but when he stood up, he caught a glimpse of Xu Zizhen's letter on the table out of the corner of his eye, although he couldn't see what was written, but his heart jumped, he guessed something, and suddenly said with great joy: "Could it be that my eldest brother is going to start a counterattack on Jinren?" ”
Zhao Gou laughed: "You are smart, then tell me, what else did I call you to do?" ”
Liu Fengsui collected his emotions for a while, thought about it and replied: "The official family is struggling with food?" ”
"Heh, it deserves to be my virtuous brother's right-hand man." Zhao Gou couldn't help but praise it, and then asked straight to the point, "Zizhen said that you can solve my worries, I don't know how Aiqing can solve it?" ”
Zhao Gou unconsciously even changed his name, no longer called himself I, and also used Aiqing for Liu Fengsui.
Liu Fengsui smiled slightly: "The harvest in Suhu and Suhu is good this year, there is no shortage of grain, and as for the salary, it will arrive in less than half a month." ”
