299 Ambush on all sides
"The poor monk has seen the Son of Heaven!"
Zhang Zhongjian, who was standing in front of Liu Bian, shaved off his long hair, shaved off his beard, changed into an earthy yellow monk's robe, and held a Zen staff.
Liu Wei couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Zhang Zhuangshi is a man who keeps his promises, and he didn't expect that in order to assassinate Tao Qian, he disguised himself as a monk." ”
Zhang Zhongjian also laughed: "Isn't it, what I love most in my life is my own beard, since I was born in my mother's womb, it has been more than 30 years now, and I have only been born so majestic." After this shave, I am afraid that it will only take three to five years to return to its original appearance! ”
"It's bothering the strong man!" Liu Bian's face was full of gratitude.
Zhang Zhongjian's tone was bold: "A gentleman's words should be more important than Jiuding, since he agreed to help His Majesty assassinate Tao Qian, he naturally has to do his best." I stayed in Xiapi City for five or six days, and I have been secretly observing Tao Qian's living habits, and I found that he attaches great importance to personal safety. When you go out, you will be surrounded by thousands of guards, and if you enter, thousands of people will patrol, and all the grain, rice and vegetables are exclusively supplied by the treasury, and it is not easy to assassinate him. ”
What Zhang Zhongjian said is basically consistent with Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue's descriptions, it can be seen that he has really worked hard these days, Liu Wei is very pleased, "I also know that Tao Qian is well guarded, and it is difficult to assassinate him, so I asked Zhang Zhuangshi to take action, I don't know how to implement the plan you said to assassinate Tao?" ”
After the poor monks secretly investigated, they found that Buddhism was prevalent in Xiapi City, and there were many believers. Moreover, Tao Qian's wife highly admired Buddhism and often went to major temples to worship the Buddha. ”
Zhang Zhongjian was unhurried. Tell me about your plan, "A certain pseudonym Baoxiang has been wandering the streets and alleys of Xiapi in the past few days. used the tricks of the warlocks to deceive many believers, which is considered a small reputation, and even many servants of the Tao Mansion came to the poor monks to ask for hexagrams......"
"Zhang Zhuangshi is really good!" Liu Wei's spirit was shocked.
Zhang Zhongjian said again: "I am now missing a chance to enter the Tao Mansion to do things, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to send a person who is skilled in martial arts and acts vigilantly to sneak into the Tao Mansion and pretend to be a ghost, which will inevitably disturb the Tao Mansion." At that time, there will be a chance to be invited into the Tao Mansion. If Tao Qian's life should be extinguished, he seized the opportunity to stab him. You can complete the trust of the Son of Heaven! ”
Liu Wei high-fived and applauded: "Zhang Zhuangshi is really ingenious, assassinating Tao Qian Lao'er as a monk, he will definitely be able to surprise, and great things can be expected!" Zhang Zhuangshi is scheming. Good means! ”
After a pause, he said in a tone eager for talent: "A strong man is meticulous and well-planned, and he is really a rare talent." If not, how about the strong man becoming an official in the court after killing Tao Qian? I will not treat you badly! ”
Zhang Zhongjian arched his hand and said: "The Son of Heaven forgive me, the eldest husband should be a promise, and he will live up to His Majesty's trust, and I hope that the Son of Heaven will not break his promise!" Those who insist on what they seek are not in and out of the phase. It's to travel all over the world, unrestrained! ”
Since Zhang Zhongjian's words were so resolute, Liu Wei knew that if he kept it, he would fall behind. I had no choice but to arch my hand and say: "Since Zhang Zhuangshi has made up his mind, I won't say more." After the thorn pottery, if the strong man is unharmed, he wants to go and stay, and listen to it! ”
immediately instructed Zheng He to summon Wang Yue and Li Yuanfang, and introduce them to Zhang Zhongjian. And Zhang Zhongjian explained his plan in detail. After hearing this, Li Yuanfang and Wang Yue couldn't help but praise one after another, and admired Zhang Zhongjian's assassination plan.
"The two of you carefully selected dozens of people from the Jinyi Guard, dressed up in disguise, and followed Zhang Zhuangshi to sneak into Xiapi. Zhang Zhongjian is in charge of the assassination, you are answering outside, and you will act according to Zhang Zhuangshi's orders! Liu Wei told Wang and Li to be humane.
It is much easier to infiltrate Tao Mansion and pretend to be a ghost than to assassinate Tao Qian, the assassination is to squeeze into the crowd, where there are many people to drill where, so it is very difficult to retreat. But it's much easier to pretend to be a ghost, and under the cover of the night, make some movement in the garden of Taofu or in a corner of the house, and then slip away, this kind of thing is naturally easy for Wang Yue and Li Yuanfang.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the two of us will definitely secretly assist Zhang Zhuangshi to complete this thorn pottery task!"
Wang Yue and Li Yuanfang gave up their orders together, carefully selected dozens of people from the brocade guards and dressed up in disguise, or dressed as peddlers and pawns, or pretended to be merchants, or pretended to be rangers, or pretended to be Confucian students, and then went out of Jinling City with Zhang Zhongjian and went straight to the Yangtze River ferry.
At this time, it was the middle of the nineties, the autumn wind was bleak, the trees were withering, and the north and south of the river gradually became desolate from the vitality of summer.
It is only about 400 miles from Jinling to Xiapi, and it can be reached in more than a day's work. A group of dozens of people quietly infiltrated Xiapi City, checked into the post house separately, and secretly kept in touch.
Governor's House, late at night.
Tao Qian was discussing countermeasures with his eldest son Tao Shang in the study, and saw Tao Qian's face full of sadness under the candlelight, and his appearance was becoming haggard day by day.
"Father, since Liu Wei resorted to a divisive plan and issued an edict to let you serve as a situ in Jinling, and let Chen Qi temporarily replace the assassin of Xuzhou, Chen Qi and his son are obviously much more estranged from us now!" The potter sighed as he gave his father a slap on his back.
Tao Qian sighed: "Villains, these scholars in Xuzhou are all villains!" The Mi brothers are villains, and Chen Jue's father and son are also villains, who only care about the interests of the family, and don't take me, the state pastor, to heart at all. It's in vain that I value them so much, and rely on them as my right-hand man! ”
"Why don't you go to Jinling as Situ, Father? I don't believe that Liu Wei dared to break his word and get fat, and slapped himself in the face, could it be that he dared to ignore public opinion and harm his father's life? The potter changed his mind and tried to come up with another plan.
Tao Qian's face was slightly angry, and he snorted coldly: "Could it be that even you want your father to go to Jinling to die?" For the father, he did not surrender the military power a long time ago, and now it is too late! As long as the old man enters Jinling City, he is a lamb to be slaughtered, and he is a fish on the anvil. A glass of poisonous wine, three feet of white silk can send the old man back to the west, and then Liu Weixiaoer will declare that my father and I died of a violent illness, and I will not be blind to death! ”
"Now Liu Wei's troops are called 800,000, if we raise troops to attack, I'm afraid that we won't be able to hold Xuzhou!"
The potter's face was worried, from the beginning of the resolute opposition to the Jinling court, to now gradually have a sense of wavering, "Besides, Cao Agui, this son of a bitch, relied on his father for Zhang Mingan's deeds, and it is reported that Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin have stopped attacking the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, and equipped to detour through Liang State to attack my Xuzhou!" ”
Tao Qian snorted coldly: "Just let the Cao thief come, anyway, Mi Fang is in front of Pengcheng, I want to see how the Mi brothers deal with it?" If he wanted to leave Peng Cheng to Liu Wei, he would have to desperately carry Cao Jun; Or throw Peng Cheng to Cao Thief, how do I think he will please Liu Wei? ”
The potter's face was terrified: "In case Mi Fang abandons the city and flees, Cao Junbing will go down to Pengcheng without blood, and he can drive straight to my Xiapi City." If Liu Wei sends troops from Jiangdong again, and the Han army in Qingzhou moves south, I will be embattled on all sides, and I am afraid that my Tao family will face the disaster of annihilation! ”
"It's really useless, ahem......!"
Tao Qian coughed angrily, and his gray beard trembled slightly: "The old man is not dead yet, what are you afraid of?" Yang Su has already replied that Liu Xie's court will not sit idly by and watch the old man fall, otherwise when Liu Wei'er connects Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou together, plus Yuzhou and Jingzhou, all the princes in the world will wait for death! ”
The potter showed joy on his face: "What my father said is true? What did General Yang say in his letter? ”
Tao Qian stroked his beard, his eyes widened, and he snorted coldly: "Yang Su said in the letter that Huangfu Song has led Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng out of the Tiger Prison Pass to attack Chen Liu, contain Cao Jun, so that Cao Cao will not dare to come to attack with all his strength, and reduce the pressure on my Xuzhou!" ”
"Only Huangfu Song, Zhang Liao and others were sent, so what are Lu Bu and Yang Xuangan doing?" The potter expressed dissatisfaction with Yang Su's rescue efforts.
Tao Qian sneered: "What do you know, Yang Su said in the letter, as long as we in Xuzhou can contain Liu Wei for three months, he will be able to wipe out Yue Fei's army, and when the time comes, the commander of Luoyang will drive straight in and take Runan and Huainan in one go, and the pressure on the west of Xuzhou will be gone." After that, we worked together with the Luoyang Army to cut off the supply of grain and grass in Qingzhou and Jiangdong, and each broke through, I think Liu Wei'er is still rampant? This is also the only hope for the old man to live! ”
"All annihilation Yue Fei? Does he have this ability? Yue Fei has 100,000 horses under his command! The potter questioned his father's words.
Although Tao Qian was also skeptical, he was willing to consider the bright side: "Yang Su said that Lu Bu's 50,000 horses are waiting in Xingyang, and Yang Xuangan has 50,000 troops in Wuguan, and these two troops can contain Yue Fei head-on." Moreover, Yang Su has already formed an alliance with Sun Ce and Liu Yan, as long as Lu Bu and Yang Xuangan attack Yue Fei head-on, Liu Biaojun will move north and attack Yue Fei from behind Wancheng. Moreover, Sun Ce sent troops from Changsha, crossed the Yangtze River from Xiangyang to Runan, cut off Yue Fei's back road, trapped the 100,000 Han troops in Wancheng in the encirclement, and gave him an ambush on all sides, and annihilated Yue Fei's army! ”
"If Liu Biao and Sun Ce send troops at the same time, they can at least draw out more than 100,000, right? An army of 200,000 attacked Wancheng at the same time, and there was great hope for annihilating Yue Fei! ”
The potter completely turned his worries into joy, "It's still my father's old plan, this time I bet on Liu Xie, it seems that I was right!" As long as Yue Fei's army is destroyed, Liu Wei is equivalent to breaking an arm, I think he still has the idea of beating our Xuzhou? ”
Tao Qian said hatefully: "My son must keep it secret, for my father to tell you this today, is to let you remember the faces of Chen Qi and Mi Zhu, and when the old man relaxes his breath, I think they will perform?" If the old man does not die, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely uproot the Chen and Mi families! If the old man can't wait for this opportunity to take the first step, Wu'er must also keep it in mind, remember what the Chen and Mi families did today, and when they slow down, they must let the Chen and Mi families pay the price for today's eating inside and out! ”
"The child must remember it!" The potter bowed his head and listened to his father's teachings.
At this moment, a noisy voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Oh no, no, haunted, haunted, come and help!" (To be continued)
