Chapter 560: A Letter to Wang Jingwu
Li Jing led 5,000 forbidden troops under the city of Qingzhou for Zeng Yuanyu, who was newly organized as the Shenjie Army, to receive the Fenglao army, and after a big reward, Li Jing led 3,000 light cavalry to lead 5,000 Shenjie troops to Dengzhou the next day.
After Li Jing's team had gone away and no one could be seen again, the new marching Sima Li Department of the Pinglu Army, who had been refusing to advance thirty miles away from Qingzhou, and Xue Chong, the new assassin of Laizhou, finally ordered the team to continue to go and enter Qingzhou.
After Ziqing stayed, Li Jing had just left, but the marching Sima Li Department and Xue Chong, the assassin of Laizhou, had just arrived in the city, and the time was so coincidental, not earlier and not a moment later.
Xue Chong and Li met on the road, and in order to wait for Li Jing to leave, the two gathered together halfway. But the two didn't talk much, although they were both demoted from the position of a town to Ziqing Town because of the grass thief rebellion, it doesn't mean that the two are both fallen people at the end of the world, and they will love each other.
As the grandson of the famous general Li Sheng, Li was already known as a genius prodigy when he was a teenager, and even his grandfather, the famous general Li Sheng, could not be stumped by the paper debate, and even the famous uncle Li Yu, who entered Caizhou on a snowy night, was not his opponent. Countless people have praised that the Li family will be another general of the Li family after Li Sheng and Li Yu. With his family background and his 'talent', he easily achieved the Taining Military Festival.
But in front of the grass thief, he was defeated, and he was defeated so completely, everything was Xue Chong's fault in the eyes of the Li family. If it weren't for his greed, he wouldn't have been ambushed by the grass thieves, causing them to be broken. If he was not in a hurry to flee after defeat, but moved closer to him, or even sent someone to deliver the latest military information, he would not step into the trap of the grass thief step by step. Everything was Xue Chong's fault, and he couldn't wait to stab this guy with a sword.
But he also understands the priorities. This time, he can be exonerated and can also be transferred to the march Sima of Ziqing Town. It's all Tian Lingzi's help. He knows it well. Their biggest opponent now is Li Jing, and only by joining forces with Xue Chong and Wang Jingwu can Li Jing be driven out of Ziqing Town. Then, he had to join forces with Xue Chong to pull Wang Jingwu off the horse, and at that time, it was time to show his sword with Xue Chong.
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, this is what Li has always told himself in his heart.
Xue Chong is a scholar and scribe, and it sounds good that scholars don't know how to use soldiers. To put it bluntly, it's a straw bale. It is also by virtue of his illustrious family background that he has been mixed with the position of the festival. In the past year, he served as the envoy of the Tianping Army, and it can be said that he was turned by the grass thief more than a dozen times. Although he is now the assassin of Laizhou, he is actually still in the shadow of a grass thief. Whether it is for Li Jing or Li or Wang Jingwu, he doesn't want to think about it, holding a wine pot every day and living a fairy-like life.
After the two entered the city, they found that Ziqing Town, which was extremely rich in Datang, was already sparsely populated. The city is closed. The streets are deserted, and there are not even a few shops open. What made the Li family even more dissatisfied was that. Wang Jingwu, the deputy envoy of Ziqing Jiedu and the assassin of Qingzhou, has not seen anyone until now.
Li directly asked the team to go to the Military Supervision Institute to meet Zhang Wanrong. It's just that when they arrived at the door, the family at the door didn't inform them at all, and Li said his name, but the other party not only did not respectfully pass it on, but showed a mocking smile on his face. Li's hand had already pressed on the hilt of the sword, but in the end he gritted his teeth and retreated.
Finally, it took a hundred yuan to meet Zhang Wanrong, the envoy of the prison army. Zhang Wanrong was very indifferent to the two, and he didn't even glance at the heavy gifts they gave them. Those thousands of gifts seem to be just a few turnips.
"It's good that you are here, right now Li Shuai is preparing to enter Liao to recover the old land of Andong, so the matter of Ziqing Town, in the future, I will have to ask the two more deputy envoys and Zhang Tingshi and Lu Tingshi."
Xue Chong asked softly, "Where is Deputy Envoy Wang?" Why didn't you see anyone after half a day in the city? ”
Zhang Wanrong said lightly: "Deputy Envoy Wang has just returned home, and his body is temporarily unwell. By the way, when the Duke of Qi Guo left, he left a letter for the deputy envoy Wang and a few others, and when you go to see the deputy envoy later, you just bring the letter with you. The old man is a little unwell, so he won't leave two more, come and see off guests! ”
was almost half-driven out of the prison courtyard, and both Li and Xue Chong had ugly faces. With their status, how can they ever be so angry. But they knew in their hearts that this Zhang Wanrong was on Song Wei's side earlier, and now that Song Wei is gone, Li Jing is still there.
When they arrived at Wang's house, Xue Chong and Li were almost unable to recognize Wang Jingwu's appearance, his eyes were gloomy, his face was pale, his hair and beard were unkempt, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole human shape was erect. If they hadn't seen Wang Jingwu before, they wouldn't have believed that he was Wang Jingwu, the incomparably majestic Qingzhou general in Ziqing Town.
Wang Jingwu was also taken aback when he saw the two of them coming in.
"Why are you here? And then you also rebelled and were arrested by Song Wei? As soon as Wang Jingwu spoke, his voice was hoarse.
Li Department frowned, "Song Wei has already entered Beijing, and Kang Chengyu and Cui Yunqing have also been transferred to the Tianping Army Festival Envoy and the Taining Army Festival Envoy respectively. ”
Wang Jingwu was even more shocked, "Then who is in charge of Ziqing Town now?" ”
"The will of the imperial court, Li Jing was appointed as the queen of Ziqing Town and the affairs of the festival, Brother Wang was appointed as the deputy envoy of the festival and the history of the Qingzhou thorn, Zhang Chan was appointed as the history of the Qizhou thorn, Lu Hong was appointed as the history of the Zizhou thorn, a certain was appointed as the Sima of the Jiedu march, and Brother Xue was appointed as the history of the Laizhou thorn. In addition, the 25,000 men and horses of Brother Wang's department are still under the leadership of Brother Wang. Li Ji said as he looked directly at Wang Jingwu, but found that his eyes were full of shock, suspicion, and surprise when he heard the news.
This made the Li Department very puzzled, why didn't Wang Jingwu know anything?
After asking for a long time, Li finally understood.
After the defeat and surrender of Yizhou, Wang Jingwu and his subordinate soldiers were disarmed by Song Wei and taken to Qingzhou, first imprisoned in the barracks, and then he was transferred back to his home a few days ago. But they were not allowed to go out, and even the people in the house were all Song Wei's personal soldiers. During this time, he had no idea what was going on outside the road. He only knew that after he surrendered, he sent someone to Chang'an, hoping to bribe Tian Lingzi in exchange for a way out.
During this time, there was no news from the outside, and Wang Jingwu couldn't even see a familiar subordinate, and the whole person almost collapsed, waiting pessimistically every day for Song Wei to send someone to announce his death.
But now, hearing this result, Wang Jingwu was stunned for most of the day, and he couldn't believe it at all.
After half an hour, Wang Jingwu finally believed the words of the Li family, it was Tian Lingzi, the Duke of Jin, who rescued him, and their task now was to help the Duke of Jin deal with Li Jing.
After believing all this, Wang Jingwu's face suddenly turned ruddy, and his eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance. This is really a village with no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright. Who is Tian Lingzi, that is the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven. No matter how powerful Li Jing is, can he compare to Tian Lingzi?
Especially after hearing that all his 25,000 soldiers and horses were under his command, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
When the tears of laughter flowed down and the coughing continued, he finally calmed down.
"Song Wei, Song Wei, Li Jing, Li Jing, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see." Wang Jingwu said coldly, no one supported him at the beginning, he dared to raise troops, and he had been working with Song Wei and Li Jing for so long, and now, he has the support of the powerful Tian Gonggong. He wants to return the pain that Li Jing inflicted on him one by one, his family, his wife and children are all gone, and he wants Li Jing's wife to be separated and his family to be ruined.
Thinking of these, Wang Jingwu couldn't help but get excited.
"Where is Li Jing now?" Wang Jingwu gritted his teeth and said.
"Li Jing just left Qingzhou and went back to Dengzhou, and I heard that he was going to use troops against Liaodong." Xue Chong took a sip of the wine gourd and drank it to his mouth, full of wine.
"Li Jing is gone? So which general does Qingzhou Li Jing keep now? Wang Jingwu asked in surprise.
Li shook his head, "Li Jing didn't keep anyone, Qingzhou now only has 5,000 prison guards from Zhang Wanrong, the prison envoy, and the rest is 500 people each from Brother Xue and Brother Wang, and 25,000 soldiers and horses under Brother Wang." ”
Wang Jingwu couldn't believe that Li Jing actually gave up Qingzhou to them.
"Not only Qingzhou, but also many other cities in Ziqing Town, Li Jing has no garrisons."
"How is this possible? What does this mean? ”
"Deputy Envoy Wang, don't be too happy, I have been all the way, Li Jing has not all withdrawn, the Zhenguo army is on the front line of the Jishui Yellow River, and there are at least more than 20,000 people." Xue Chong looked at Wang Jingwu's excited appearance, and naturally knew his thoughts. He said coldly, Li Jing is not a fool, even if Tian Lingzi doesn't want Li Jing to have a good time, let Wang Jingwu be the deputy envoy of Ziqing, and let them come. But what kind of person is Li Jing, how could he leave so easily and give up Ziqing Town.
"Oh, Zhang Wanrong said that Li Jing has a letter for us, and I have already brought it." Li Department took out the letter and opened it directly, but after only a few glances, his whole face was already cloudy.
"What is written in the letter?" Xue Chong and Wang Jingwu asked together.
"You'll know what you're talking about when you see it." Li has a dark face, and he has the urge to jump and slash people at any time.
Xue Chong took it and quickly swept it, his face immediately darkened, handed the letter to Wang Jingwu, his hands trembled angrily, he picked up the wine gourd and opened it, and poured a few big sips. I drank too quickly for a while, choked on my throat, and threw up there with my head down uncomfortably.
Wang Jingwu took it, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and when he saw the worst of it, he couldn't help but tear the entire letter into pieces. It was torn violently, his face was swollen and red, and he scolded, "Li Jing'er, how dare you do this, you deceive people too much!" I swear to kill this thief! ”
A series of various swearings came out coherently, Wang Jingwu jumped to his feet and scolded, coupled with that hideous facial expression, and his head-to-toe madness, it seemed like a seizure, and it seemed like a jumping god! (To be continued......)
