Li Xiucheng took the initiative to ask for help, and Qin Rigang was immediately happy.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiucheng was so cooperative.
Qin Rigang looked at Li Zhen, only to see Li Zhen shaking his head and saying in a deep voice: "General Li, you are brave enough to attack Li Zhen several times in a row. However, you have lost consecutive battles. In the past, you led your army to attack Shanghai, and the entire army was defeated. The army was wiped out. Not long ago, you led 3,000 elites to attack the Manchu Tatars, but also suffered heavy casualties. Only a few hundred people were left to return to Changshu County. Today, you have to volunteer again. Even if there are 10,000 elites, I am afraid they will still be attacked. If it fails, I will send General Pan to fight and destroy Li Zhen."
After listening to the first half of Li Zhen's words, Qin Rigang nodded secretly and said to himself that the military advisor had indeed been observing his affairs for a long time, so he knew everything about Li Xiucheng.
However, when Qin Rigang heard the second half of Li Zhen's words, he immediately became anxious.
The two had already discussed and decided that Li Xiucheng would be the one to fight, so why did it become Pan Qingyang?
Below, Pan Qingyang was also stunned for a moment.
Immediately, Pan Qingyang's face showed an expression of ecstasy. He wanted to prove that he was stronger than Li Xiucheng, so he had to defeat Li Zhen. Pan Qingyang turned aside, walked to the center of the hall, bowed slightly, cupped his fists and said: "The final general will definitely destroy Li Zhen. Kill all the pure monsters and live up to the high hopes of the military advisor and the prince." Originally, Pan Qingyang still had a trace of resentment towards Li Zhen, but now it is gone and only gratitude remains.
Li Zhen looked at it, but his eyes drifted towards Li Xiucheng.
He believed that Li Xiucheng would not be able to resist attacking Li Zhen.
Sure enough, Li Xiucheng retorted: "Military advisor, the last general is the first to ask for military service. The mission of the expedition should naturally fall on the last general. It is true that I fell into the hands of Li Zhen twice, but he is the one who knows Li Zhen best and the best." I am familiar with Li Zhen's fighting methods. If Pan Qingyang goes to fight, his eyes will be darkened, and he has no idea about the situation. The general will still say that if he leads his army to fight, Li Zhen will be wiped out. Please think twice."
Li Zhen sneered in his heart, you know me well, not even close.
Pan Qingyang was once again despised by Li Xiucheng. He burst out with anger and shouted loudly: "Li Xiucheng, you are going too far. Do you want us to compete to see who is better?"
"Compare is compare."
Not to be outdone, Li Xiucheng immediately frowned. Li Xiucheng had already known that it was not appropriate to stay in Changshu County, so he made up his mind to leave.
When Qin Rigang saw several people fighting, he vaguely guessed what Li Zhen was thinking.
When Li Zhen saw this, he secretly said that Pan Qingyang's hot temper was good, and it was just used to stimulate Li Xiucheng. However, Li Xiucheng would not let his gaffe make a big deal, and shouted in a deep voice: "It's inappropriate to make wanton noise in the hall. This is not the case here." The vegetable market is not a place for you to quarrel, Li Xiucheng, since you are going to lead troops into battle, how can Pindao trust you?"
"The general is willing to issue a military order."
Li Xiucheng sneered in his heart, knowing that the Taoist priest in front of him was here for the military order.
The military order was naturally issued to deal with him.
But the army left Changshu County, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and they were no longer under Qin Rigang's control.
Li Zhen looked at Li Xiucheng with a half-smile but not a smile. Looking at Li Xiucheng's expressions, movements and the look in his eyes, he knew what Li Xiucheng was thinking. However, Li Xiucheng was defeated in the battle. Can he escape? Li Zhen flicked his whisk , said loudly: "General Li, there is no joke in the army. You know the consequences of issuing a military order. Can you think about it clearly?"
"Think it through."
Li Xiucheng said without hesitation.
Pan Qingyang stood nearby, completely becoming an outsider.
He wanted to interrupt, but couldn't.
Li Xiucheng looked at Pan Qingyang contemptuously and said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, I am willing to issue a military order. If I cannot defeat Li Zhen in this battle, I am willing to sacrifice my head." Li Xiucheng also became ruthless and determined this time. He must defeat Li Zhen. If he fails for the third time, he will really collapse.
Li Zhen said: "There is no basis for what you say, just bring a pen and ink."
A soldier took pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked Li Xiu to issue a military order.
After Li Xiucheng finished, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave the hall. Following immediately, all the generals of Yang Xiuqing's line turned and left, leaving no one behind.
Pan Qingyang looked at Li Zhen blankly, and suddenly realized that Li Zhen's target was not him at all.
Qin Rigang nodded slightly, Li Zheng's method of stimulating generals just now was so useful.
Li Zhen glanced at the generals of Qin Rigang's line in the hall, then looked at the generals who had remained neutral, and said in a deep voice: "General Pan, take the generals down to rest. Remember, let the soldiers eat well. Drink well and get ready to fight. Li Xiucheng has been defeated by Li Zhen continuously. There is no chance that he will fail this time. You are a general under the prince's command and you cannot lose the prince's face."
"The general will obey his orders."
Pan Qingyang nodded in agreement, turned around and left with the general.
The hall was empty again, with only Li Zhen and Qin Rigang left. Qin Rigang sat casually and said with a smile: "The military advisor easily allowed Li Xiu to issue a military order, which is really impressive."
Li Zhen said seriously: "Your Majesty, what we need to do now is to reveal Li Xiucheng's whereabouts to Li Zhen in Fushan Town. We must be careful about this matter and not leak the news."
Qin Rigang nodded and said, "Yes, I will immediately send my confidants to deliver the message."
Immediately, Qin Rigang summoned his trusted generals and gave instructions.
…
Changshu County, west of the county seat.
The night was as dark as ink, the surroundings were already pitch black, and the city was dotted with lights.
A fire lit up the middle of an abandoned mansion.
In the mansion, men in black looked solemn and stood upright. These men in black all carried guns on their backs and had no hair on their heads. These soldiers were clearly the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion under Li Zhen. Led by Zhu Wu, the soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion sneaked into the city and all gathered in the mansion.
"boom."
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.
After Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately became vigilant, but did not open the door immediately. Then, there were two consecutive knocks on the door, and then a separate knock on the door. As a result, the vigilance on Zhu Wu's face showed Only then did the color completely disappear, replaced by a look of joy, and he quickly ran to the door and opened it.
There was a Taoist priest standing outside the door, and it was Li Zhen.
Zhu Wu waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Commander, when you came out of the county house, you were not followed."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Qin Rigang has gone to bed. Now Qin Rigang completely believes me, don't worry." After speaking, Li Zhen walked into the mansion, raised his hand to salute the soldiers in the mansion, and Zhu Wu's head was outside the gate. After looking around for a while, he quickly closed the door, quickly ran behind Li Zhen, and entered the hall together.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, Zhu Wu asked: "Commander, what are your orders?"
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Li Xiucheng has taken the bait. With Qin Rigang secretly passing on the news, Lu Shaochuan and Smith can easily deal with Li Xiucheng. The current task is to deal with Qin Rigang. You start to control the various passages outside the county government to ensure that the county The mansion became an isolated county government. When Li Xiucheng was defeated and Pan Qingyang led an army to attack Lu Shaochuan, he was ready to deal with Qin Rigang."
"yes."
Zhu Wu was gearing up and couldn't wait.
Deal with Li Xiucheng, kill Pan Qingyang, and then capture Qin Rigang. This battle will be resolved. Li Zhen stayed in the mansion for half an hour before leaving quietly. Everything is on track. Li Zhen only needs to stand behind the scenes.
