Chapter 978: Alliance
Deng Xiaoxian woke up, his injuries were getting better day by day, and Wang Xian finally let go of the big stone in his heart. At this time, news came from various counties one after another, and the old and weak women and children who were sent out had successfully set off panic......
Now, all counties have blown up the pot, and everywhere it is said that the official army has been assembled and is ready to enter Nanqingzhou from the direction of Tai'an and Jining! It is said that there are 50,000 troops! Juzhou Rizhao and other counties are better, those counties that bear the brunt, such as Mengyin and Yishui, are all in a panic, many rich families and ordinary people have fled, it is said that even the White Lotus cultists who have occupied the county seat are thinking about retreating to Yimeng Mountain, so as not to be dumplings by the official army.
Wang Xian knew that it was time for him to go out. A little later, either the rumors will go bankrupt, or those White Lotus Sectists will really hide in Yimeng Mountain, and this drama will really not be able to be sung......
"Is it true that the gentleman only brings such a few people?" On the eve of departure, Liu Jun held a banquet to see Wang Xian off, expressing his worries: "There are only 500 people, and no one will take it seriously." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, my lord, I'm going to give gifts, and it will scare them if there are too many people." Wang Xian is still the master of the chest.
"It's just that this gift from Mr. is a little heavier." Cui Laoshi's face was full of pain and said: "All our little money has been poured out!" ”
"You're a little out of shape, okay!" Ah Chou just couldn't get used to Cui Laoshi's childish temperament, so he blew his beard and glared: "Didn't Mr. say, at most two months, at least ten times as much as you!" ”
"Hey, I hope so, I hope so......" Cui honestly said nothing more in front of Wang Xian, and lowered his head and drank the sullen wine.
"Don't care, sir, he's such a person." Liu Jun smiled, and changed the conversation: "I just don't know why Mr. didn't go to Juzhou first, but went to Mengyin?" How to say that I still have some friendship with Thirteen Fragrances. The cloudy Zhuge Hong is a difficult person, and now he is strong and strong, and I am afraid that he will not give us face. ”
"The lord doesn't have to worry, the so-called shooting people first shoots horses, captures thieves first captures the king, and takes Zhuge Hong, everything is fine. If you can't take Zhuge Hong, everything will be in vain. Wang Xian smiled and said: "Shanren has their own clever plan!" ”
"Good!" Liu Jun nodded heavily and said, "Then it's all up to Mr." As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "I wish Mr. success!" Dry! ”
"!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all......
The next day, Wang Xian and Ah Chou took 500 soldiers and horses, escorted 100 carts of gifts, and went to Mengyin. That Feng Lao Liu was also among them, he was really promoted to centurion, and he was naturally even more respectful to Wang Xian, like a god!
Mengyin and Linqu are neighboring counties, but the scope is much smaller, and it is also mountainous, and the mountain people are fierce, and now it is Zhuge Hong, the master of Mengyin Hall of the White Lotus Sect! This Zhuge Hong claims to be the descendant of Zhuge Liang, and has always boasted of his wisdom, and the Zhuge family is a local wealthy family, and now he is raising the flag to rebel, and he actually gathered more than 6,000 people. Even if Liu Jun's strength is not damaged, I am afraid that he is not his opponent. The so-called ability to command Yunyun by force was just Liu Jun's bragging......
This Zhuge Hong does have a set, he doesn't know where to vacate a set of art of war, claiming to be the "Art of War of Wuhou" handed down by Zhuge Liang, with which he drills his subordinates and orders the army, it looks very similar.
As soon as Wang Xian's team entered Mengyin, a spy flew to Zhuge Hong, saying that a fat sheep had entered the country. Shandong is poor in this era! If you are not poor, there will not be so many rebels, don't look at Zhuge Hong's six or seven thousand people, but if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you can eat him bankrupt every day! As soon as he heard that there were 100 carts, and the cars were full of valuable things, Zhuge Hongdeng's eyes turned green, and he scolded the reporter: "What are you doing in a daze? Cut it off! ”
"Yes!" The messenger hurriedly ran out to give the order, and more than 1,000 people rushed out.
In the county office, Zhuge Hong and his subordinates were very excited, I don't know where this is the rich man, and even if it is not good, the brothers will not have to worry about it for a month!
After waiting patiently for most of the hour, the messenger came back again.
"How? How's the harvest?! Zhuge Hong's younger brother Zhuge Hai hurriedly asked.
"Hey, what's the robbery," the messenger said with a wry smile: "People are here to give gifts to our hall master!" ”
"What?" Zhuge Hong touched his steel needle-like beard and asked, "Who gave me a gift?" ”
"It's Linqu Liu Jun!" The messenger replied.
"Liu Jun?" Zhuge Hong's eyes rolled, and he was puzzled and said: "That guy has never been on good terms with me, how can he give me a gift?" ”
"Hey, big brother, the phoenix he has lost his hair now is not as good as a chicken, he must be worried about the original Liangzi, afraid that the eldest brother will beat him." Zhuge Hai didn't care about the Tao.
"Don't guess! Bring people in and ask them to find out! Zhuge Hong waved his hand, and he was wise and martial arts.
"Great idea!" Zhuge Hai is a good material to praise......
After another half an hour, Wang Xian and Ah Chou held the gift list, entered the county office proudly, and came to the lobby. saw Zhuge Hong and his cousin sitting in several chairs, staring at him.
"Come to Linqu to make Hei Jian and meet General Zhuge in the next Linqu!" Wang Xian bowed respectfully to Zhuge Hong. Although Ah Chou has always looked down on this 'pig brother', he can also follow Wang Xian and salute Zhuge Hong at this moment, which shows that he sincerely obeyed Wang Xian.
Zhuge Hong didn't know Wang Xian, but he knew Ah Chou. Seeing that he was actually his deputy at this moment, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Ugly, how did you get mixed up, why did you go back the more you messed up?!" This remark naturally caused the audience to laugh, but Ah Chou didn't care, and raised his head and said: "Lao Tzu will obey my husband and be his deputy, I am proud!" ”
"Oh......" Zhuge Hong looked at Wang Xian again, and when he saw that this person was indeed extraordinary, like a person, he smiled and said: "Black, Mr. Hei, right?" ”
"It's the students." Wang Xian nodded, looked at Zhuge Hong with a smile and said: "I have admired the name of General for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really heroic, and even more famous!" Sure enough, he is worthy of being the descendant of Mr. Wolong! ”
Seeing Wang Xian so flattering, he couldn't help but smile, and asked people to show them tea, and then asked, "What happened to Mr. Hei?" ”
"The students are here to congratulate the general!" Wang Xian took a sip of fragrant tea and praised: "Good tea, good tea!" ”
"Connoisseur! Although our Mengyin tea is not famous, it is not inferior to those famous teas. Zhuge Hong smiled and said, "I just don't know where a certain family of joy comes from?" ”
"My general unites with General Wang of Juzhou, and wants to elect the general as the leader of the alliance of the five counties of South Qingzhou, and lead us to resist the official army!" Wang Xian said eloquently: "The general has been sharpening his sword for ten years, and now he can finally take the sword out of the sheath and kill the Quartet, isn't it gratifying?" ”
"Uh......" Zhuge Hong was a little stunned by what he said, and looked at Wang Xian suspiciously: "Sir, slow, what is this Southern Qingzhou Five Counties Alliance?" ”
"Oh, it's strange that the student didn't make it clear." Wang Xian smiled faintly and said: "Then I'll start from the beginning, did the general know that Zhu Wei, the commander of Jining Wei in the Ming Dynasty, had joined forces with Gao Feng, the commander of Qingzhou Wei?" ”
"I've heard of it." Zhuge Hong nodded, in fact, he had heard of it? It's almost like the ears are about to wear out the cocoon, these days, the news that Zhu Wei and Gao Feng are going to fight has spread all over Mengyin County! If it really hits, Mengyin County will bear the brunt of it, and it will definitely be the first to suffer! Despite his best efforts, he could not stop the people from fleeing, and even his men were constantly instigating them to hide in the mountains to fight guerrillas.
Zhuge Hong had just occupied Mengyin and tasted the sweetness of being a powerful man, and he didn't want to abandon the city and hide in the mountains to eat and drink. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, how dare he hit a stone with an egg to meet the 50,000 army of the legendary imperial court? The reason why it's still holding on is just to enjoy one more day......
Therefore, although Zhuge Hong was light and light-hearted, he raised all his spirit in his heart, and listened carefully to Wang Xian's words: "It is said that they have gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to enter Qingzhou!" But the main force in our sect is in North Qingzhou, the strength is strong, they want to make it easy first and then difficult, first take South Qingzhou, and then try to go north! ”
"Hmm." Zhuge Hong nodded, sighed secretly in his heart, but he still had to hold on to his face: "Let them let the horses come!" We don't have anything else in Yimeng Mountain, but there is no shortage of singles and tough guys, and they will fight for 300 rounds, and it is not known who will kill the deer! ”
"Good! General Zhuge really lives up to his reputation, and my general really didn't see the wrong person! Wang Xian applauded: "It's just that the court is stupid, and I still know that I am in one place, how can I not know that I have the same enemy?!" After a pause, Wang Xian got up and arched his hand, and said angrily: "I should combine my five fingers into a punch in the five counties of Nanqingzhou, and work together to resist the strong enemy!" The general said, right? ”
"Well, that's right." Zhuge Hong nodded, this was naturally what he couldn't ask for.
"It was my general's courage to propose the formation of this five-county alliance! My general has always believed in General Zhuge talent, and is willing to recommend General Zhuge as the leader of the alliance! Please keep the overall situation in mind, and don't shirk! Wang Xian's words were so good, not only did Zhuge Hong's blood boil, but even his subordinates had their eyes shining, staring at their own hall masters, lest he shirk and refuse!
"Oh, thank you General Liu for your kindness, it's just that I'm not a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't take on this big responsibility......" Zhuge Hong naturally wanted to be the leader of this alliance, but he also had concerns, "Besides, my Qingzhou is the helmsman of this sect, and I have always been headed by Elder Tang, and now we are openly ganging up, I'm afraid it will make his old man unhappy......"
"The general's words are wrong," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "One, this alliance is an expedient measure, and at the moment of the great enemy, Elder Tang can't be unaccommodating, right?" Both, if the chief helmsman can send troops south to help us resist the official army, we don't need to form any alliance, but in the general's opinion, will Elder Tang send troops? ”
