Chapter 237 The bravery of the officers and soldiers
In the courtyard where the incident occurred, more and more people came in with weapons in hand. The two sides were at war with each other, and a fire could break out at any time.
Wang Ziyong knew very well that he did not kill Wang Jiayin, but now all the evidence is against him. Lin Wende, this person is indeed Wang Ziyong's personal soldier, but Wang Ziyong doesn't have much impression of this person, but now the only
The only one we could count on was Lin Wende. There was a lot of noise in the courtyard. Zhang Damou walked in from the archway and whispered in his ear: "Lin Wende is dead. He should have committed suicide."
"Are you dead? It seems that some people really want to blame this matter on me." Wang Ziyong frowned and looked coldly at Gao Yingxiang and others not far away. In fact, it is not difficult to guess, the person is not him
If someone Wang killed him, it was most likely Gao Yingxiang.
Recently, Gao Yingxiang's strength has increased greatly, and his ambition has become bigger and bigger. Leader Wang Jiayin has long been aware of Gao Yingxiang's ambition and tried to find ways to limit it. Perhaps because of this, Gao Yingxiang became murderous. Gao Yingxiang is the most suspected.
, but there was no evidence at all. A big conflict was about to break out between the two sides, but at the most critical moment, Wang Ziyong raised his hand to stop Zhang Cunmeng and others.
"Brothers, come back!"
Zhang Cunmeng turned his head and said angrily and unwillingly: "Chief Wang, are you just going to watch others pour sewage on us?"
Wang Ziyong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly. Then he looked at Gao Yingxiang and said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, it doesn't matter whether Wang killed the person or not, but now that the bones of Chief Wang are still cold, should we let him be buried first?"
An? Do you want to let the brothers kill each other in front of the leader Wang?"
Wang Ziyong's words seemed a little timid, but he took retreat as an advance, and even took Gao Yingxiang's hand out of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. Gao Yingxiang sighed in his heart, put his left hand behind his back, and quietly made a gesture to Li Zicheng
, and after Li Zicheng left, he said: "What Chief Wang said makes sense. No matter what, we must let Chief Wang bury him in peace first. However, this matter is not over yet. Chief Wang must give everyone an explanation."
"Don't worry, King Chuang. Even if King Chuang doesn't investigate, Wang will get to the bottom of it. No matter who dares to murder the leader Wang, this person must have a heart like a snake or a scorpion, not as good as a pig or a dog!"
Wang Ziyong looked straight at Gao Yingxiang, almost pointing to his nose and saying that that person is you. However, Gao Yingxiang's expression remained unchanged and was not affected at all.
After Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong reached an agreement, a military disaster that was imminent was eliminated. Both parties thought that Wang Jiayin was arranging the funeral arrangements, so they led their troops to retreat.
...
Back at the station, Wang Ziyong's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost. Zhang Damou and others also felt aggrieved, "Boss Wang, why did you stop suddenly? Gao Yingxiang and his gang today brought the boss's affairs to us."
Pushing him, he is obviously uneasy and well-intentioned. The brothers really can't bear this birdiness. Although the man named Gao has many people, there is no need for us brothers to be afraid of him. If we really fight, the outcome is uncertain."
"Hey, Da Shou, do you think I'm afraid of Gao Yingxiang? At first, I wanted to fight, but then I thought, no, if we really make trouble, we will play into other people's hands. We are not the ones to kill the big boss.
Yes, who else could it be? Since Gao Yingxiang should do this kind of thing, he must be fully prepared. I guess he has already secretly ambushed his manpower and is just waiting for us to take action."
"And what about us? We are not prepared at all. If there is a fight, we may become the dead soul of Gao Yingxiang. I deliberately used the big leader's funeral as an excuse to capture Gao Yingxiang out of righteousness. Fortunately, Gao Yingxiang also cares about those false reputations and has not directly
Take action. Just now, the people I sent sent back news that not long after we left, many soldiers and horses were withdrawn from the surrounding civilian houses. These people are Gao Yingxiang's subordinates. Now, do you know what's going on? "
Zhang Damou and others' eyes widened and they shook their heads in disbelief. Zhang Cunmeng patted the table and said angrily: "It seems that the big boss must have been killed by Gao Yingxiang, but is Gao crazy? At this time, he dared to
To assassinate the big boss."
"He has ambitions, it's not just a matter of a day or two, but I never thought that he would do such a treasonous thing!" Wang Ziyong clenched his fists, his joints creaking, "We must not accept this dirty water, I will banquet
After thinking about the above incident over and over again, I felt that there was one person who was very suspicious, and only she had the opportunity to apply poison on the outside of my wine glass, which is why I have the powder on my hand."
Zhang Cunmeng held his chin and thought for a while, then said softly: "Chief Wang, are you talking about Dai Qimeng?"
Wang Ziyong nodded heavily, Zhang Cunmeng and others made eye contact, and then some people immediately stood up and left. Perhaps Dai Qimeng is the last straw to solve all the mysteries, and Dai Qimeng must be held.
...
On the other side, Li Zicheng and others were also complaining. After gathering their hands, Li Zicheng said a little depressed: "King Chuang, as long as you give the order, you can definitely keep Wang Ziyong and others here. Why did you change your mind again?"
Already?"
"Hey, didn't you listen to what Wang Ziyong said? The big leader's body is still cold. Do I really want to use weapons in front of the big leader? What will the close followers of the big leader think at that time? What will the world's heroes think of me, Gao?
people?"
"This..." Li Zicheng was at a loss for words, but in his heart, he strongly disagreed. King Chuang cared too much about reputation, which is really unacceptable. This kind of thing should be done to the extreme and cut through the mess quickly.
, There are not many such opportunities. If Wang Ziyong and others are allowed to leave now, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain, which will cause endless troubles. Now that Wang Ziyong and others are on guard, it will be difficult to attack them again.
In the final analysis, Chuangwang is still not ruthless enough.
Similarly, Niu Jinxing was also a little dissatisfied, but he just thought about it in his mind and did not say it explicitly. He had worked hard and arranged everything, and was just waiting for Gao Yingxiang to give the order. However, the hard-won opportunity was let go by Gao Yingxiang.
.
Niu Jinxing even had some doubts, was Gao Yingxiang really his master?
At night, a small boat docked quietly on the river bank. Niu Jinxing held a lantern and walked towards the small boat step by step. Not long after, a charming woman walked out of the boat. Judging from her appearance, who could it be if it wasn't Dai Qimeng?
After untying the package behind him and handing it to Dai Qimeng, Niu Jinxing said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Shanxi quickly. If it's too late, we won't be able to leave. King Chuang doesn't want too many people to know about it."
Staring at Niu Jinxing, Dai Qi dreamed of finding something in the other person's eyes, but in vain.
"Why are you doing this? It goes against Gao Yingxiang's wishes and is not good for you."
Niu Jinxing pursed her lips and gave a wry smile, "Maybe this is God's will. Niu has been busy for thirty years and thought that this would be the end of his life. However, he happened to meet you. Miss Dai, believe me, as long as Niu
As long as you live, you won't let anyone hurt you. Go quickly, enter Shanxi, and then open the letter in the package."
Looking at Niu Jinxing's retreating back, Dai Qimeng's eyes drifted away under the stars. She didn't know whether what Niu Jinxing said was true or false. This man was too calm and she couldn't tell what was going on in his mind.
.......
Wang Jiayin's funeral was very solemn, maybe because he felt guilty, or maybe he was showing it to others. Gao Yingxiang was very sad, and the funeral was very grand, and Wang Ziyong also participated. But this time, Wang Ziyong had many followers, and there was also a large army outside the city.
Waiting.
Li Zicheng could only sigh helplessly. The best opportunity had been lost. Now he really couldn't capture Wang Ziyuan. Even if he took action forcefully, both sides would lose in the end. King Gao Chuang, King Gao Chuang, do great things but cherish your own life.
What a mistake.
Just as Li Zicheng thought, as soon as Wang Jiayin's funeral was over, Wang Ziyong immediately took his people outside the city. Not long after, Wang Ziyong's troops left Pingliang and headed towards Qingyang. At this point, Gao Yingxiang completely lost the ability to kill Wang Ziyong.
Chance.
Wang Ziyong sent troops to Qingyang Mansion, which also indicates that with the death of Wang Jiayin, the peasant army was completely divided into two forces, one was Gao Yingxiang, and the other was Wang Ziyong. Because of Wang Ziyong's death, the two sides could no longer cooperate as before.
After arriving in Qingyang, the first thing Wang Ziyong did was to order the troops stationed in Zhending and Luojiashan to be transferred back.
Wang Ziyong's move suddenly relieved the pressure on the officers and soldiers in the north, freeing up more troops to deal with the peasant army in Fengxiang Mansion. One can imagine Gao Yingxiang's mood, but he did not expect Wang Ziyong to actually use this move to help
The officers and soldiers dealt with him Gao Mou. But Gao Yingxiang didn't even think about it. Wang Ziyong still carries the notorious reputation of plotting to murder Wang Jiayin. How could he make Gao Yingxiang have an easy time?
Wang Jiayin's death was not a secret, and Yang He would not let go of such a great opportunity. Soon, Liu Yingyu and Wu Guofu joined forces. The two adopted Hong Chengchou's suggestion and raided the Xiexiang Mansion south of Fengxiang Mansion.
Valley Pass. To the south of Xieguguan is Taibai Mountain, and further south you can enter Chencang Road. Farmers have no intention of going south to Hanzhong and Bashu, so they naturally lack concern for Xieguguan. It is ridiculous to say that there are only guards at Xieguguan.
Three hundred people, all of them old, weak, sick and disabled.
Wu Guofu led his disciples from northern Sichuan to come out from the darkness, and found that the opponent was unprepared. Taking advantage of the darkness, it only took half an hour to capture the entire Xiegu Pass.
When Xiegu Pass was in his hands, he didn't think much of it. When Xiegu Pass fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, Gao Yingxiang realized how important this place was. After the officers and soldiers occupied Xiegu Pass, they could go straight to the west into Wuzhangyuan, attack Baoji, and then
To threaten Fengxiang, you can attack counties and counties in the north, Fufeng, directly severing the connection between Wu Gong and Fengxiang, and even threaten the Qishan garrison.
One Xiegu Pass can actually radiate most of Fengxiang Mansion. As long as there is any movement of troops and horses, if there is a loophole, it may be exploited by the officers and soldiers. In short, Gao Yingxiang sadly discovered that as long as Xiegu Pass is in the hands of the officers and soldiers, he will not be able to protect himself.
I can't attack Xi'an Mansion as boldly as before. Because if I continue to do that, I may be attacked from behind at any time.
Not to mention Gao Yingxiang, even Niu Jinxing was an afterthought. It's not that Niu Jinxing is incompetent, he is good at conspiracy, playing with people's hearts, and is not good at leading troops in battle or military strategy.
With no other choice, Gao Yingxiang could only order Li Yangchun to send troops south to recapture Xieguguan as soon as possible. If he did not regain Xieguguan, he would have trouble sleeping and eating. The next day after the order was issued, Li Yangchun sent his cavalry to attack Xieguguan. However, at this time,
, Gao Yingxiang and others ignored a problem. Li Yangchun's sending troops to Xiegu Pass will inevitably lead to a lack of troops in Qishan.
Of course, this is a problem for Niu Jinxing, because there are still a large number of peasant troops stationed in Duyang Mountain at the Wugong County level. Even if Qishan's troops are empty, the officers and soldiers cannot bypass Duyang Shanhe Wugong County if they want to take Qishan.
Another day passed, and Li Yangchun began to order a strong attack on Xiegugu Pass. What Li Yangchun did not expect was that veteran Wu Guofu relied on this dilapidated and disrepaired Xiegugu Pass to be able to defend it like a rock. Li Yangchun came in high spirits, and on the first day
I was hit hard at Xieguguan and suffered a bloody blow.
If it was just that, that would be it. It rained all night, Li Yangchun had not yet captured Xieguguan, and the direction of Duyang Mountain had also changed. The Tuobuhua Division was originally traveling between Sanshui County and Xianyang.
The cavalry, following Cao Wenzhao's orders, rushed towards Duyang Mountain along the official road and successfully attacked the outer camp arranged by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng knew very well how powerful this group of cavalry was and how dare he underestimate it. He could only muster up his energy to deal with the possible onslaught.
The peasant army in Wugong County was also attracted by Yang He's main force and was unable to move. For a time, officers and soldiers attacked everywhere, and the peasant army became a little helpless and was beaten everywhere.
The situation in front of him made Niu Jinxing a little annoyed. The peasant army clearly had an absolute advantage, so why was it now the passive party to be beaten? After thinking about it, the reason still lies with Wang Ziyong. In order to deal with the peasant army in Fengxiang Mansion, the officers and soldiers
, almost all came out, but Wang Ziyong still stood still. The man named Wang wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
It seems that the death of leader Wang previously stimulated Wang Ziyong.
Another night, a group of officers and soldiers quietly bypassed Duyang Mountain and appeared silently at the foot of Qishan Mountain. When the ugly moment came, the leader of the army gave an order, and the officers and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward. The Qishan army was empty of troops.
The camp was simply undefended. Soon, less than two thousand peasant soldiers were killed and fled in all directions. The Qishan camp declared its fall.
Just after daybreak, the news reached Fengxiang. When he heard that Qishan was lost, Gao Yingxiang swayed and felt as if his head was blocked by something.
That Shaanxi soldier Liu Yingyu came out of nowhere and actually captured Qishan. Once Qishan was lost, Duyang Mountain, Wugong County and even Li Yangchun who was attacking Xieguguan would be threatened. Especially Li Yangchun, because of the need to
Siege a city, and station in the wild where there is no danger to defend. Once the rear is attacked, and the officers and soldiers of Xieguguan come out to interfere, the consequences can be imagined.
Niu Jinxing was so anxious that he was sweating, "Quick, King Chuang, quickly order King Li Tian to withdraw..."
Before Gao Yingxiang had time to issue the order, he saw a messenger running in in panic.
"Report to King Chuang. Something bad happened. King Li Tian was suddenly attacked from behind by officers and soldiers. He suffered heavy losses. He is now retreating to Fufeng."
Gao Yingxiang was stunned for a moment and said with some bitterness: "So soon? Tell Li Yangchun not to guard Fufeng and retreat directly to Fengxiang. I will send troops to meet him..."
Gao Yingxiang sat helplessly in his chair. What on earth was going on? Why did the situation become like this?
