Chapter 117: Power Comes Out of the Barrel of a Gun
When the news of Dugu Huaien's violent death in prison reached Yun Hao's ears, Yun Hao was worried. Because he got another piece of news, Qin Qiong took Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and others to surrender Li Tang.
Yun Hao was somewhat sympathetic to Wang Shichong, the servant of Yang Tong, the king of Yue. Dispatch Qin Shubao, the general of Long Xiang, to attack Tongguan with tens of thousands of troops. Thinking of taking advantage of Li Tang's main forces, they were all contained in Shanxi by Liu Wuzhou. Break through Tongguan in one fell swoop and occupy the pass. But he never expected that the former commanders of the two armies would actually run to the opposite side with the generals.
Tens of thousands of troops were scattered, and they were chased and killed by the veteran Qu Tutong for a while, losing thousands of people. Yun Hao felt that Wang Shichong in Luoyang must be spurting old blood.
Qin Qiong came, but Yun Hao was not happy. Not for anything else, just because it was Wei Zheng who recruited Qin Qiong. And Wei Zheng is now washing horses in the East Palace, which means that after Qin Qiong comes to the Tang Dynasty, he will be Li Jiancheng's person.
This is not good news, it is now the second year of martial arts. In eight years, it will be the famous Xuanwumen Incident. In that battle, Li Er completely killed his brother, imprisoned his father, and became the real master of the Tang Dynasty. Don't dare to let Qin Qiong enter Li Jiancheng's mansion, it is a fire pit.
However, Qin Qiong is still on her way to Chang'an, and if she wants to come to Chang'an, she has to pass by Lintong. Yun Hao decided to intercept Qin Qiong, saying that Qin Qiong was tied to Li Er's chariot. Judging from Li Yuanba's affairs, Li Er seems to have a little more humanity than Li Jiancheng.
Thinking of this, Yun Hao's back was sweaty. I don't know when, my ass sat on Li Er's side.
Qin Qiong didn't bring many people, except for Cheng Zhijie, only Niu Jinda. The total number of soldiers who followed was only two or three hundred, which shows how embarrassed they were when they escaped. If it weren't for Wei Zheng's prior communication, maybe he would have been shot to death by Qu Tutong.
"Uncle Qin!" The group had just arrived in Lintong, and there was a group of people waiting under the archway on the side of the road.
"Brother Hao!" Although he hadn't seen him for many years, Qin Qiong still recognized Yun Hao at a glance. Immediately turned over and dismounted, and ran a few steps to Yun Hao. He stretched out his hand, but took it back. Now Yun Hao is already a young man, and he is no longer the little kid who can pick himself up and turn twice.
"This kid has grown so tall!" Lao Cheng also walked over, and the bear paw slapped Yun Hao on the shoulder. Yun Hao almost knelt on the ground, and Lao Cheng pouted: "The body is too bone!" ”
"You should be like you!" Qin Qiong glanced at Cheng Biting Jin angrily, and saw that Niu Jinda seemed to be about to punch him in the chest, and hurriedly protected Yun Hao. This small body was punched by the cow, and he was not allowed to vomit blood. These bastards have never been serious, and the guys who came out of the ringing nest have a civilized way to greet each other.
was slapped by Lao Cheng, and Yun Hao felt that half of his body was unconscious. Don't be half-paralyzed, Lao Tzu's life path is still very long.
"This Lintong is the fiefdom of the little nephew, and the little nephew has prepared some wine. Tonight, how about a few uncles and uncles resting in the little nephew's house? ”
"Not bad! Boy, he has such a big fief at a young age. It seems that the Tang Emperor is quite generous. Lao Cheng grinned, following a generous boss is the dream of all employees.
"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, call Your Majesty!" Qin Qiong frowned and looked at this open-mouthed brother, this is nothing to say here. But if it is in Chang'an City, it will be heard by someone with a heart, and the matter can be big or small. If one is not right, it is possible to move the head.
"Aren't we talking about it here? The second brother doesn't have to care, Hei Niu and I know what to say and what not to say. Niu Jinda grinned. His family was originally an official eunuch family, and he knew these taboos.
Yun Hao hurriedly ordered the servants to take Qin Qiong's soldiers to live in the courtyard next to them, and opened the middle door to welcome Qin Qiong, Lao Cheng and Lao Niu. They are all self-parents, and there is nothing wrong with going through the middle door.
As soon as a few people sat down, the banquet ended. The cook heard that an elder of the main family was coming, and did his best to fix a table of wine.
Lao Cheng is not very cold about delicate dishes, and the same is true for Lao Niu. The style they most seek is big, multiple, and full of flavor.
The cook complied with their request and put a large pot of braised pork on the table. The fat was a finger's thick, and the red ones were piled up in huge porcelain basins like bricks. Lao Cheng and Lao Niu fell in love with this dish full of strong Western style and rough mess. I don't use chopsticks, I take out a dagger and eat it.
"Uncle Qin, I don't know what errand you did when you came to Chang'an this time?" Yun Hao saw Lao Cheng and Lao Niu, and talked to Qin Qiong when he was happy.
Yun Hao firmly believed that Wei Zheng had prepared a position for Qin Qiong and the others. It's no good, who surrenders! ———— Chen Peisi!
There are no reasonable conditions, and Qin Qiong can't convince these brothers of his own. Although Xiangma's nest is known as a bandit, it is still actively demanding progress. No matter how the official has to have one, if there is another knighthood, it will be even better.
"Wei Zheng has already made a statement to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I will be included in the Prince's Six Rates after I enter Chang'an. It's the prince's own army, and so are the two of them. I heard that Bodang and Xie Yingdeng, as well as Qi Guoyuan and others are also coming to Chang'an, hey, ......! was defeated by Wang Shichong at the beginning, and the brothers were separated. I heard that Xu Shiji was quite big in Shandong, and the original territory of Wagang was guarded by him. At least, my family and the Black Bull don't have to worry. Qin Qiong replied casually, saying that the Xingsan of Wagang was very uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Wei Zheng's old bastard wanted to pull Qin Qiong to the prince's side. I don't want to wade into this muddy water, but there is no way this is Qin Qiong. Whatever you say, you have to make a trip.
"Uncle Qin, I don't think you should go to the sixth rate of the crown prince to take office." As soon as Yun Hao said this, Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment. Even Lao Cheng and Lao Niu put down their daggers and looked at Yun Hao. This is a matter related to their future, and they can't help but not pay attention to it.
"Why?" Qin Qiong asked strangely, since he came to Datang, he was still on an errand under the prince of Datang. This is a beauty difference that many people can't ask for, and Mao Yunhao said that he shouldn't go? This kid is very popular in Li Tang, but I want to listen to his opinions.
"Datang has the most important military merits, and non-military merits are not allowed to be awarded. Looking at what His Majesty means now, it is certain that King Qin will lead his troops to fight. The crown prince, at most, is responsible for the central dispatch. This is what the prince should do, Uncle Qin and Uncle Cheng and Uncle Niu want to establish a career. Naturally, I want to go to the battlefield to find it, do you want to waste time in this Chang'an City?
After all, the crown prince is just a prince, just a future emperor. And not the current emperor, if you are not awarded a knighthood for military merit. I'm afraid Your Majesty won't allow this, and even if you do, you'll probably be poked in the backs of your two uncles. Therefore, the kid persuaded Uncle Qin not to enter the Prince's East Palace. On the battlefield, the wealth that comes out of fighting with a horizontal knife is real. ”
"Second brother, what this kid said makes sense. When you arrive at the Prince's East Palace, you will be trapped in the palace all day long, and your mouth will fade out. Our brothers are all tearing and killing men, where is there anyone who is the material to be an official. In Chang'an City, it is eaten and wiped clean in the morning and evening. It's not as good as on the battlefield, a knife and a gun. Lao Cheng slapped the table and shouted, and the old cow next to him nodded in agreement.
Qin Qiong also nodded, the martial artist's exploits were on the battlefield. Qin Qiong absolutely agrees with this, and the importance of a martial artist who has left the battlefield will be greatly reduced. A person like Cheng Biting Taurus Jinda is indeed not suitable to appear on duty in the palace.
"But we were invited to ...... without rectification!" Qin Qiong was a little embarrassed, after all, it was Wei Zheng who persuaded him to come to Chang'an. In other words, Wei Zheng is the connector between himself and the Tang Emperor. If you put aside Wei Zheng, how can you see the Tang Emperor.
"Uncle Qin, you should know. King Qin is using troops in Shanxi, and the two armies are facing off in Xia County. The King of Qin has already discussed with me more than once about matters in the army. If Uncle Qin is willing, I am willing to take a few elders to Shanxi to make contributions. And I knew that I would win this battle. When the time comes, it will be a well-deserved title by virtue of military merits. ”
"Cut! The kid is not afraid to flash his tongue when he says big things, why do you say that you have won the battle without fighting? Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of troops in my Wagang, I didn't say that I had won the battle. Niu Jinda laughed out loud. It's just a child's ignorance and crazy words.
"Because, the enemy general Wei Chi Gong is my friend. I've saved his life twice so far, and maybe more in the future. And I conclude that he has separated from Liu Wuzhou, and it is only a matter of time before he defects to Datang. ”
"It turns out that your kid is also a bad seed, and he has already rebelled against the local general before the battle is fought. Second brother, be careful when dealing with this kid in the future. He is changing his ways, and he wants to pull us to King Qin. ”
Yun Hao glanced at Lao Cheng in surprise, this is a typical representative of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It looks like Zhang Fei, but his head turns faster than anyone else. So quickly, I saw through my intentions. But that's nothing, as long as you will be grateful to Lao Tzu in a few years, it is Lao Tzu who has brought you to the prosperity of Feihuang Tengda I, not the bottom of hell.
"Brother Hao, there are no outsiders here. You tell me the truth, there is a ...... between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince! Qin Qiong looked left and right, and saw that there were only a few people in the room, and asked in a deep voice.
"One is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is in the center, and the other is the Prince who holds the power of the army and fights outside. For now, it's brother and brother, as for the future, it's ......! Yun Hao gave Qin Qiong an ambiguous look.
"Will the prince be defeated?" Qin Qiong was shocked, he immediately guessed that Yun Hao was not optimistic about the crown prince Li Jiancheng in this battle.
"Yes, yes, I remember a great man famously saying. It's called power from the barrel of a gun!!!!! ”.
