In the private residence of Wang Gong in Shaanzhou, he sings gracefully and dances gracefully.
Everyone ate and drank while enjoying the music and dance performances.
Wang Gong, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, was cruel and suspicious, and all the officials and generals under him were afraid of walking on thin ice. But if there was any advantage, it was that Wang Gong loved singing and dancing, and he often invited people to have banquets and enjoy them together.
Today is the day, even Zhe Silun, who is stationed outside the city, has been invited.
In the field, there are orchestras, gold and stones, throat sounds are echoing in the clouds, white clothes are fluttering, and pearls are clearly visible.
After the song is finished, the singer goes down to change her clothes, and then comes back to bow to the guests one by one.
The singer said that she was originally a concubine in the palace of the late emperor, but now she was benevolent and was released by grace, and married to a lowly official. Unfortunately for her husband, she was dismissed from office and had to go to the banquets of powerful people to obtain wealth.
After hearing this, everyone sighed.
Wang Gong smiled and said nothing, but his eyes kept glancing at the singer's graceful figure.
The royal concubine in the palace, although he may have never seen the sage several times in his life, his identity, the strict etiquette and talent training he received in the palace made him feel itchy. Well, even if he was just a concubine
Female, Cai Nv, that is also an official of seventh or eighth rank, it must be very enjoyable to play.
Does she have a husband? Wang Shuai doesn't care about such trivial matters. He finds someone to kill her and throws her into the river. Who knows?
"Have a great time today. Please drink this cup to your heart's content." Wang Gong felt happy and said with a smile.
"Drink this cup to the full."
The singer rested for a while and then began to sing "Yizhou Song" which was popular during the Kaiyuan period.
Zhe Silun felt a little ridiculous while listening.
To the east of Xiashi, a large army gathered, with drums and horns shouting, and bows like thunderbolts.
The city of Shaanzhou was packed with guests, the singing voices were melodious, and the warm breeze was soothing.
Is this really the same world?
After a long time, the cups and plates were in a mess, and the singer sang "Izhou Song" for the third time.
The guests took their leave one after another, and the singer bowed and thanked them one by one.
Wang Gong couldn't hold himself back and drunkenly wanted to go forward and hug the singer. Zhe Silun grabbed him and laughed softly: "I'm grateful for Wang Shuai's banquet. How about we fight together in two days?"
"What's wrong with this?" Wang Gong said patiently, his eyes still wandering around the singer.
"I heard that Lingbao Town General Zhu Jian is good at attacking, why not invite him over and let us broaden our horizons," Zhe Silun said again.
"Okay, okay." Wang Gong wanted to shake Zhe Silun away, but his grip was very tight. Seeing that the singer had already gone out, he said angrily: "If Zhu Jian dares not to come, I will kill his whole family."
Perhaps out of disappointment and anger, the voice of the last sentence was a little louder, so that some guests who had just walked to the door heard it. They did not dare to look back and walked away quickly.
Zhe Silun let go of his hand with satisfaction.
Private news always circulates faster than official orders.
Before Wang Gong's order for Zhu Jian to go to the military mansion to "attack" arrived, the news that Wang Shuai wanted to "kill his entire family" quickly came.
Some of them are friendly reminders from relatives and friends, some are just people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and some people are spreading the news.
Zhu Jian was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
In these years, the superiors and subordinates were so suspicious that either the superiors would take action first and nip the crisis in the bud, or they would be killed by the subordinates and the whole family would be annihilated.
Zhu Jian thought carefully about Wang Gong's temperament and past actions, and increasingly felt that the possibility was very high, so he immediately called "Mr. Zhu".
"Mr. Zhu" was not a rural tutor who taught people to read and calligraphy as originally claimed, but was a member of Zhu Quanzhong's clan, who was a member of the Bozhou Chronicle and joined the army.
Zhu Canjun has been wandering around the area these days, carefully observing the mountains and rivers geography of Shaanxi and Guozhou, and secretly jotting down the points for stationing troops and food.
After all, if you enter Bingguanzhong in the future, you will either go through Shaanxi or Guohe, which is an urgent matter.
"Zhu Canjun, what the adoptive father of Dongping County King said..." Zhu Jian was sitting in the study, looking quite uneasy and a bit ferocious.
"No problem." Zhu Canjun answered casually, but then he felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "General Zhu, what does this mean? How can Prince Dongping go back on his promise?"
"Then I'll be relieved." Zhu Jian made up his mind and said with a forced smile. It seems that one of him and Wang Gong will die. If he can kill this person, he may be able to succeed and sit down with the Jiedushi.
's throne.
The Xia army will eventually retreat. In the future, with the support of Prince Dongping, if you are more respectful, you will be fine.
If Xia's army is really powerful, just strike a balance between Zhu and Shao. There is always a way, and they can always be fooled.
Zhu Canjun, who had just returned from Hucheng, was a little unsure of what Zhu Jian was thinking at this time. What was he going to do?
Several secret letters from Prince Dongping had been sent to him. He read the code words in them and asked him to act accordingly, inciting Zhu Jian to rise up at the critical moment, kill the generals of the Xia thieves, burn their accumulated millet, and cut off the Xia thieves.
On the way back, cooperate with the main army's pursuit and encirclement.
To this end, Zhu Shenjun also designed several plans, such as ambushing Lu Huaizhong and others in the form of a banquet, raiding the summer bandit camp late at night, seizing strategic locations, etc. In the narrow Hangu Road in Shaanxi and Guozhou, dangerous locations
But there are too many. After all, Hangu Pass can be built in more than one place, and the effect will be similar.
Even if the Xia thieves reopened their way back, the morale of the army was shaken, and it might take a long time before the army of Prince Dongping could catch up and defeat the Xia army.
It is very possible to seize the opportunity to capture Shaanxi and Guo!
As for how to explain to Wang Chongying, it is actually not difficult at all, as long as there is a scapegoat.
Thinking about it carefully, the plan is indeed good, but what does Zhu Jian want to do now?
"General Zhu, are you going to start an attack immediately? No, it's not yet time." Zhu Jian asked tentatively.
"Come here, let Zhu Canjun have a good rest here. Daily expenses must not be lacking." Zhu Jian suddenly ordered.
The soldiers promised with a bang, and soon more than ten people came in to watch Zhu Canjun.
Zhu Canjun was a little panicked and scolded: "Zhu Jian, are you crazy?"
"I can't wait any longer. Either I will kill someone or I will be killed! I have wronged Zhu Jun and I will make amends after the incident is done." Zhu Jian sighed and strode out the door.
…
Fierce shouts of killing rang out near the south gate of Shaanzhou. As the city gate opened, the killing sounds became clearer.
"Charge! Rush in!" Zhu Jian, who came with three hundred soldiers, took the lead, his heart pounding.
Even though there are so many cases of defeating people in recent years, it seems that killing a military governor is no different from killing a chicken. But when it comes to doing it yourself, you always feel the inconvenience and the huge risks involved.
It can be said that every attempt is a gamble. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy and everyone will know it. If it does not succeed, it will probably die in obscurity. The whole family will be implicated, and it will be known to some people in the town.
But now that the matter has come to this, Zhu Jian has no way out.
Even if you raise an army to fight in Lingbao, you will most likely end up defeated, so it is better to give it a try, and if you succeed, you can become a governor and use your power to control yourself.
Wang Gong only served as Jiedushi for three or four years, and his father Wang Chongying only served for six years, which was not even as long as Zhu Jian's time in Shaanxi and Guogan. Why?
Zhu Jian saw his bloody sons Zhu Lingde and Zhu Lingxi at the gate of the city. They brought dozens of generals and even dozens of slaves armed with rifles, bows, knives and guns. They were full of murderous intent. They attacked him unprepared in the middle of the night and had already killed the people at the gate of the city.
The guards were killed and scattered.
"Grandpa, Wang Gong is staying in the old house tonight and there are not many soldiers." Zhu Lingde wiped the blood on his face and said.
"Okay, soldiers are very fast. As long as Wang Gong is beheaded, we will be safe. Let's go!" Zhu Jian didn't waste any time and immediately led a total of 400 people to kill Wang Gong's old house.
Late at night in Shaanxi City, I was awakened by the sound of horse hooves and fighting.
The experienced people closed their windows tightly, because some soldiers were causing trouble.
Regardless of whether the rebellion is successful or not, someone will take the opportunity to plunder. They don't care about Wang Gong's life or death at all, they only care about their own family's life.
There was a vague feeling of uneasiness in the military camp.
Everyone heard the commotion outside, but the general commanding the troops did not live in the military camp, and there was no order from Yu Housi, the military governor, to mobilize troops, so no one dared to act rashly.
After sending people out to investigate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if foreign enemies invade. If someone rebels, it's none of my business!
After the new commander-in-chief took office, he had to give out generous rewards in order to win people's hearts. Everyone then went back to sleep and waited to receive the reward in the morning.
Outside the old house where Wang Chongying once lived, the rioters from Lingbao had already broken open the door.
Dozens of Zhu Mansion servants rushed in first, followed by more than 200 sergeants. There were hundreds of people watching from a distance outside to prevent Wang Gong from escaping.
The sound of killing reached the backyard. Wang Gong rushed out of the bedroom with disheveled hair and bare feet, and rushed to the garden under the protection of more than ten soldiers.
As soon as he entered the garden, there was a hail of arrows covering his face, and two or three soldiers lay down. Wang Gong was so frightened that he turned back.
Sergeant Lingbao has already killed everyone in the front yard.
Zhu Lingde was wearing armor smuggled in, and the blade of his long sword was dripping with blood.
He has already seen Wang Gong.
After laughing excitedly and cruelly, Zhu Lingde ordered the arrow to be fired.
A row of sergeants stepped forward, firing their rifles and bows in unison. Wang Gong held his head and ran away, while screams continued around him.
"Kill this thief quickly!" Zhu Lingde strode forward, held the sword in both hands, and slashed down diagonally. The last soldier who blocked him also fell down.
Wang Gong was so frightened that he hid behind the pillar, still yelling: "Zhu Jian, you are so cruel! How do I treat you? Why are you making trouble?"
No one answered him.
Zhu Lingde slashed with his sword, while Wang Gong ran around the pillar.
"It's not too late to pull back from the brink. My father is Commander-in-Chief Pu and has tens of thousands of soldiers. If you kill me, can you escape the pursuit?" Wang Gong said breathlessly.
Still no one answered.
We've all come to this point, and there's nothing to say. When a martial artist does something, why should he consider the consequences? Just do it and that's it.
Soon several more sergeants came forward, and Wang Gong could no longer hide.
Zhu Lingde struck down with his sword, and Wang Gong screamed in despair, subconsciously reaching out to block it.
The two-handed heavy sword easily cut off the arm and embedded itself deeply into Wang Gong's body, causing blood to spurt out all over the floor.
Zhu Lingde took another ax, aimed it at Wang Gong's neck who was lying on the ground, and slashed it down hard.
The killing is complete.
On Qilijian Pass, in the Fengxiang Army barracks, drums were beating loudly.
A large group of soldiers, armed with armor and weapons, filed out of the camp and lined up.
In the gate city of Xujin Ferry, more than two thousand horsemen also led their horses out of the camp and headed towards Shaanxi City.
Zhe Silun sighed secretly.
Zhu Jian caused chaos, and he also contributed to it. The development of this matter is a complete mess.
But Shaanxi and Guo are too important, and it would be great to have a scapegoat to take the lead. As for how to negotiate with Wang Chongying for a new Shaanxi commander later, that is another matter.
"Let's go!" The camp gate opened wide, and the army, holding torches, headed towards Shaanxi City like a long dragon.
