Chapter 483: New Year's Eve
"Otherwise, I have to find a way out for the brothers...... Liu Zijin sighed: "You know the current situation best, do we have any other way to choose?" ”
"......" Liu Xingdeng was speechless, before he insisted on the belief that it would be good to wait for the eldest brother to come back, but now that Liu Zijin is back, he is alone, what is the use? After a while, he said in a sullen voice: "Back then, our nine brothers gathered in righteousness, thinking about eating a large piece of meat, dividing the gold in a big scale, and no longer being subject to the bird's spirit of the court, but now the eldest brother wants to surrender to the court, which is really chilling." ”
"At that time, we were all too stupid, thinking about being the king of the mountain, but we didn't know that we were used as swords by others at the beginning." Liu Zijin sighed and said: "Now that the foundation has been taken away, and the official army wants to enter and suppress it, let's not talk about fame and wealth, we have to find a way out for our brothers." ”
"Song Jiang of Liangshanbo also thought so, but he killed the brothers." Liu Xing's favorite commentary is "Water Margin", when he killed officials and rebelled, he was not affected by Shi Nai'an's reaction. In fact, if you can become an official through rebellion, it is not a good way out, but after the court settles the score, you can only be killed......
"Alas, I can't take care of it so far...... Liu Zijin sighed: "It's a big deal to abandon the official when the time comes, and the brothers will go to Nanyang together." ”
"......" Liu Xing stopped talking, and after the initial anger, he also realized that this was the only way out.
"Forget it, let's celebrate the New Year first, let's talk about it after the New Year......" Liu Zijin patted him on the shoulder and said.
"We can't let go of Yu Gui and Han Tiancheng, the two bitches, we must let them pay for their blood debts!" Liu Xing raised his head and said with red eyes.
"Of course!".
This New Year in Taiyuan City, because it is the first year after the death of the old lady, the whole city is not allowed to release whips, the Spring Festival couplets can not be pasted, and there is no lion gongs and drums and other music, the New Year's flavor is surprisingly light.
Zhu Zhanji arrived in Taiyuan on the 28th, and as soon as he entered the city, he went to the Jin palace to pay tribute on behalf of the emperor, and announced that he would keep a vigil in the palace for seven days to show silent mourning. The army that came with him also lived in the barracks outside the city, put knives and guns into storage, and bread and dumplings, and prepared for the New Year.
This made Pang Ying, who had been nervously monitoring, completely relieved...... It seems that during the Chinese New Year, Taisun has not made any moves. This is the best, so as to save yourself from having a bad life during the New Year. Speaking of the New Year, he really admires Zhang Hui as a noble son, and he will never wronged himself, even if the whole city is keeping filial piety for the old lady, Zhang Hui still has to have a lively New Year.
The small Jiangnan in Taiyuan City, it is like a little red in the white bushes, the city is covered in silver, but here it is full of lights, jubilant, and the outside is clearly divided into two worlds. Outside the three-storey building, there are strings of big red lanterns hanging, there are several large round tables in the building, all kinds of dishes on the table are dazzling, melons and fruits are piled up like a mountain, Fenjiu, bamboo leaves are green overflowing with the fragrance of the nose, and there are dozens of guests with different identities sitting at the table. There are high-ranking military officers who came from Datong to accompany Zhang Hui for the New Year, there are wealthy businessmen in Taiyuan who Zhang Hui recently met in Xiaojiangnan, and even the brothers King Qingcheng and Yonghe Wang...... Although the old lady is the mother-in-law of these two masters, the brothers have no interest in mourning for her, and they don't want to celebrate the New Year in the cold, so they come over to join in the fun.
It's really lively here, and in addition to dozens of distinguished guests, there are hundreds of sisters from Xiaojiangnan. They don't see each other on weekdays, this time one is for the New Year, and the other is for the face of Zhang Ergongzi, so they gathered together. Qinhuai famous prostitute, Datong aunt, Taishan sister-in-law, West Lake boat lady, Yangzhou thin horse...... A flower branch show, competing for beauty, provoked those guests who love to touch flowers and grass dazzling, heart swaying, see Zhang Hui Ha Lu Ha big smile, announced today to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, no taboos. asked the two princes to pick the girl first, although the Zhu Jixuan brothers are the kings of the county, they are not as good as the second son of Zhang in terms of weight, and the two do not steal the limelight with him, and insist on letting Zhang Hui come first, Zhang Hui is no longer polite, and takes the lead in hugging left and right, laughing and playing with a few girls.
After Zhang Hui finished picking, Zhu Jixuan's brothers were not polite, and then Pang Ying...... However, Xiao Jiangnan is not short of girls, no matter morning or evening, they can pick a desirable girl, and everyone will be happy in the fat powder pile. For a while, the lights in the building were red and green, which really looked like heaven and earth, which made people want to be immortal.
Zhang Hui had fun by himself, and he hadn't forgotten his second brother, and asked Pang Ying, "Why hasn't Wang Xian come yet?" ”
"I forgot to tell Childe." Pang Ying patted his head and said: "Wang Xian's subordinates said earlier that he was eating New Year's wine in the military camp and was drunk by a group of people, and he was already drunk and couldn't enter the city. ”
"Ha Luha, tell him not to go to the camp at this time." Zhang Huile was happy: "The barracks usually ban alcohol, but in the past few days, everyone is drinking to death." ”
"I don't think he's necessarily drunk," Zhu Jixuan, the king of Qingcheng, said with a smile: "He didn't dare to come." ”
"Why don't you dare to come?" Zhang Hui said with a smile.
"He's afraid that my sixth brother will settle accounts with him." Zhu Jixuan glanced at Zhu Jihong, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile.
"Makes sense!" The insiders all laughed, but Zhu Jihong's face was even more ugly......
The sky is fluttering and snowing again, the city gate is closed early, the young army barracks outside the city are brightly lit, tens of thousands of soldiers are eating dumplings in the barracks for the New Year, but each person only serves a bowl of wine, so that the soldiers are quite dissatisfied, they want to find the military division or General Cheng, General Xu, and then ask for some wine to eat, but they eat closed.
At the door of the Chinese army's tent, Zhou Yong stopped a group of soldiers and told them that the military advisers and generals were discussing matters, and no one was allowed to disturb them. The soldiers didn't believe it, and laughed and said What is the matter of this New Year? It won't be eating a good bar behind our backs. The veteran oil is the most measured, and the boss who knows that the New Year's Eve will not be punished, so he is a little presumptuous.
"Those who dare to make noise again will be dealt with by military law!" Zhou Yong said with a dark face, and the guards behind him also looked unkind, and the generals didn't dare to make a mistake when they saw this, so they shrank their heads and muttered: "I just want to pay a New Year's greeting to the military advisor, and take chicken feathers as an arrow......
Zhou Yong ignored them, and the silence in front of the Chinese military tent finally returned, but the air in the Chinese military tent across the tent became more and more tense......
It is said that Wang Xian, who was drunk, stood in front of Xue Huan, Mo Wen, Xu Huaiqing, Cheng Zheng and other generals in a sober voice at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Announce the decree of the prince, set off when the army is in time, and march to Guangling County!" ”
Most of the generals were surprised when they heard this, because they all knew a little bit about the situation, and they knew that the army rations needed to suppress the bandits were not in place, so could they just rely on these 10,000 people to suppress the bandits?
"There are not many soldiers in the elite," Wang Xian said lightly: "Guangling County is full of thieves, we have 10,000 people." ”
"Strategist, you can't hold it up." Cheng Zheng was straightforward and fast-talking, and hurriedly advised: "The number of enemy troops is 50,000, and we are defending according to danger and have sufficient food, how can we have this little force!" ”
"It's man-made." Wang Xian smiled and said, "Old Mo, you tell everyone about it." ”
"Yes," Mo asked, looking at the people: "The so-called impermanence of water and impermanence of troops, the number of troops is only one aspect that affects the outcome of the victory, but also depends on the strategy and tactics of both sides, military morale, battlefield situation, and so on. Now everyone thinks that it is impossible for us to go to war during the New Year, and if we want to launch a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely be surprised, this is one of them. ”
"Now that the thief army is in civil strife, Yu Gui Han Tiancheng is attacking Liu Xing's department in Pingxingguan. The military advisor released Liu Zijin a few days ago, and provided them with some grain, which should allow them to resist the rest of the month. In this way, the main forces of the enemy army are attracted to the south, and the defense to the west is necessarily empty. We are taken by surprise and unprepared, and the odds of victory are very high, and this is the second one. ”
"Yu Guiwei Wufeng has always ruled Guangling County with high pressure, and deducted the rations of the believers, he has long complained, and his thoughts about the saint have reached the peak, and the White Lotus saint is ......" Mo asked and looked at Wang Xian, everyone laughed slowly, or Xue Huan, the stupid overlord, dared to speak: "It's the mother-in-law of the military advisor!" ”
"That's the number three." Wang Xian smiled, took over the conversation and said: "Fourth, there are heavy snowstorms in the past few days, and it is the New Year, and the pedestrians on the road are cut off, which is just suitable for us to march covertly, and the vigilance of the enemy army will also be much lax due to bad weather, so it gives us the opportunity to sneak attack." If the weather is fine, we really don't dare to act rashly. Therefore, the time and people are on our side, if we can surprise it, attack it unprepared, and smash its city, we will be able to win the battle! ”
Seeing that the prince and the military advisor had already made up their minds, and now they just announced the order, and the generals no longer dwelled on the question of whether to go to war, but asked about the specific arrangements. After all, it is a very dangerous operation to attack Guangling on a snowy night, and the slightest mistake will wipe out the entire army!
However, Wang Xian's arrangements were very detailed, from the clothing of the soldiers to the cold clothing, to the route and method of marching, and the planning and arrangement of the battle, all of which were made in detail, which made the generals feel very down-to-earth...... In fact, most of the work was done by Mo Wen, but people have always been low-key, and they have left the limelight to Wang Xian.
"Are there any more questions?" Wang Xian looked at the generals and shook their heads when they saw it, so he said in a deep voice: "Go and gather the soldiers, pack your bags, gather at the school after a stick of incense, and set off overnight!" ”
"Whoa!" The generals responded with their fists clasped together and withdrew from the tent. Soon, there were whistles, shouts, and hurried footsteps in the barracks. The soldiers who were still begging for wine just now threw down their jobs and ran back to their respective camps to pack up, but they were not in a hurry, because in the drill of the young army, emergency assembly, and midnight training were all reserved programs, and the soldiers were not less ravaged, so they could be in an orderly manner at this time......
With less than a stick of incense, 10,000 soldiers dressed neatly and lined up on the school field, but it is inevitable that there are still people burping, and more people are inexplicable...... For the sake of secrecy, the senior officers did not announce their intentions to fight, but only ordered to assemble and set off.
