Chapter five hundred and thirteen: The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry
Chapter 513: A dog jumps over the wall, kindness and power come together
Below the Ningxia General Soldier, the most important ones are the Deputy Chief Soldier, four separate garrison generals, three guerrilla generals, and one guerrilla guard. First updated on the novel website. Therefore, in terms of official rank, the prosperity is still the same as that of the previous Ningxia guerrilla generals.
Above Qiu Yue. However, he is not as capable as Qiu Yue's subordinates. He is also an old man from the Ningxia General Military Mansion. He is very capable of going up and down. Therefore, he sat in the post of General of Pinglu City for six or seven times.
Nian. I can't get promoted, but I don't want to transfer to another place. I just want stability in everything.
Pinglu City is located on the edge of the Yellow River, and it is a new city built during the Hongzhi period. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to withstand the iron hoofs of the pirates, and the team that usually trades tea and horses in Taonai through the Yellow River waterway is enough to keep him full.
of.
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him, a general, to be responsible. While he ordered people to explore the waterway of the Yellow River and prepare a pontoon bridge, he returned to his residence and wrote an urgent letter, planning to have people gallop back to Ningxia.
Cheng asked carefully. However, before he could finish writing the letter and send it back, the voice of a close soldier suddenly came from outside.
"My lord, Ding Guang, the guard of Qianhu, Prince Qing, would like to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Sheng suddenly frowned. Prince Qing was also one of the big bosses behind the tea-horse trade. After all, in terms of financial resources, no one could compare to Prince Qing's family, which had been rooted in Ningxia for hundreds of years. This Ding Guang
He had indeed seen him in the past. Although he was just a Qianhu, he was generous and generous. He also helped him a lot in a land dispute case. However, at this juncture, Qianhu, who was under the escort of King Qing, came to see him.
What does he, the general of Pinglu City on the North Road, do?
"Just say I'm busy right now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Guang's voice came from outside: "General Rong Shen is so unfeeling? We have a life-long friendship, can you bear to shut me out at this time?"
The person who was talking had already come in. Although he was quite angry, Rong Sheng looked at Prince Qing's face and had to stand up with a smile. He coughed lightly and said: "Brother Ding, it's not that I'm being pretentious.
Shutting you out is really something that happened suddenly today. Uncle Pingbei said before that he wanted to come to Pinglu City to have a look. I have been waiting for several days, but there is no sign of him. Now at the General Military Mansion
Just when he was sending orders to be on alert, he suddenly arrived at Pinglu City and had to cross the river. Even if you come to me for something at this time, I don't have time, so..."
"How did General Rong Sheng think I came here?" Ding Guang interrupted Rong Sheng. Seeing Rong Sheng's astonishment, he emphasized his tone and said, "I might as well tell the truth. I just entered the city with Uncle Ping Bei.
Of the thousands of people Ping Beibo wanted to cross the river, less than half were selected from the guards of King Qing. So far, there is no reasonable explanation! So, today I come to see you, General Rong Shen, to ask you
Send a message to the Anhua Palace in Ningxia City as soon as possible, saying that we are going to cross the river and enter the Loop!"
Although Rong Sheng was originally about to deliver a message to Ningxia, he hesitated when he heard Ding Guang's words at this moment. Even the guards of King Qing were recruited. This behavior seemed weird, not to mention the trilateral commander Yang Yiqing.
It is said that he has a close relationship with Xu Xun. Before that, he almost returned to the court and served as Minister of the Ministry of War. That is, the Ningxia General Military Mansion. If Xu Xun really wants to transfer people, he will never disobey. Why should he transfer some guards from Prince Qing? Moreover,
The letter should be sent to Prince Qing’s Palace. Why send a letter to Prince Anhua’s Palace?
Thinking of this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows in feigned surprise: "Uncle Pingbei actually transferred your royal guard to Prince Qing? This is unreasonable."
Ding Guang had not thought of passing on information along the way. However, although he was on the road at night, Chen Xiong, a veteran, was well versed in the ways of travel. He had already made a household registration when he left the city. One person fled and the whole group of small flags were sitting together. In addition, he was fooling around in the dark.
He didn't dare to act rashly, so he marched for another day after passing Zhangliang Fort, and arrived at Pinglu City in the afternoon of the third day. And because the local snakes in the land and sea seemed to be crazy, just because of those
He followed Xu Xun with empty words and sincerely. In his opinion, he had followed Wang Yue, but the famous Wang Taifu had been dead for many years, so how could he still have such great appeal? There was a large team of people before.
Hiding in a mountain col before, if he had not volunteered to follow Xu Xun out and made it clear that he would not want to do anything...
Therefore, in the face of Rong Sheng's questions, he became more and more angry and said angrily: "It's not unreasonable! God knows what Uncle Pingbei is thinking. The guards in Ningxia City are all
The general listened to his nonsense, and His Highness Prince Qing didn't know what was wrong with him, but he also went crazy together! At this time, as the king's uncle, Prince Anhua can always remind him." At this point.
, then he looked at Rong Sheng again and said, "As for General Rong, you can delay it for a few days. You must know that when sending troops, there will be victory and defeat. Uncle Pingbei is so reckless in attacking, in case of a big defeat."
And, your relationship is also not small!"
Although Rongsheng knew that this explanation was not entirely true, he still explained some of his doubts. He thought about it over and over again, and finally said vaguely: "In that case, I will try my best."
But Ding Guang knew that Rong Sheng was an old man. He did not relax at all when he heard this. He said with piercing eyes: "General Rong, I am not threatening you with false words. If this battle is fought, you may not be able to get a share of the credit.
The battle went wrong, but you are the perfect candidate to take the blame. Let me tell you the truth, if the family that was fighting for land with you had not come forward, the five hundred acres of fertile land that could be diverted from the Yellow River for irrigation would have been lost to you.
How is it possible to eat it? It’s such an easy thing nowadays. If you don’t want to do it... Nowadays, the clan king is indeed not as popular as before, but it is still very easy to make some obstacles! I will say this and leave.
!”
Seeing Ding Guang turn around and leave, Rong Sheng's face turned as ugly as the ashes in the bottom of a pot. He was wise and fearful to protect himself, but this did not mean that he was a fool. Ding Guang emphasized again and again that he must
He reported the news to King Anhua, even at the cost of threats and inducements. This was simply extraordinary and weird. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and just called Brother Ding, he noticed the hand that Ding Guang was holding open the door curtain.
He froze there. The next moment, he saw clearly the person standing opposite Ding Guang and took a breath of cold air.
"Ping...Uncle Pingbei..."
Ding Guang's expression changed for a long time, and finally he shouted out with difficulty, with an expression of fear unknowingly showing on his face. With the last trace of luck, he hoped that the people in Rongsheng's mansion would not be used up by others.
He walked straight in without making a sound, thinking that Xu Xun might not be able to hear what he just said, so he forced a smile and said: "I came here to see General Rong because of the floating bridge..."
"Oh, is it the floating bridge?"
Xu Xun smiled slightly, then gave Rong Sheng a meaningful look, and then said lightly: "Then how could I hear it outside just now? You kept saying this to General Rong, and I don't know that everyone in the Ningxia General Military Mansion
And why did His Highness Prince Qing lose his mind and go crazy and allow me to act like this? Then how could I have heard outside just now that you coerced and induced Rong Shen to go to Anhua Palace to deliver the news? Then how could I have heard outside just now
Come, you want to delay my trip? Even if I transfer the guards of King Qing to make you very dissatisfied, you are Qianhu of the guards of King Qing, not from the Anhua Palace, why should you go to the Anhua Palace?
Report!"
This sudden raised voice made even Rong Sheng behind Ding Guang unconsciously take two steps back, let alone Ding Guang who was facing Xu Xun's pressure. Seeing that his words were spoken to the most important person word by word,
After hearing this, his face turned pale, and a hint of resentment appeared in the corner of his eyes. Then he suddenly bowed deeply and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, it was just because of my humble position that I was obsessed with it, and that's why I made a big mistake..."
"
As soon as this typo came out of his mouth, his right hand that he had carefully placed on the left side of his waist suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword, and then he pulled it out with force and lunged towards Xu Xun.
As long as he can use this person as a shield, not only can he escape, but he might also be able to reverse the current situation!…
However, Ding Guang had only heard that Xu Xun was as cunning as a fox, and had never heard that he was good at fighting. However, when he charged up and pounced, he missed it, and the one who blocked the sword was a sword.
The sword was still in its scabbard. He saw clearly that the person who blocked Xu Xun's sword as fast as lightning was actually a young man in his mid-twenties. He suddenly thought of the young officer he had seen standing behind Xu Xun from a distance before.
. However, it was too late to regret it at this moment. Knowing that Rong Sheng had never been good at martial arts, and because he was old, his reaction was slow, he forced the opponent back with three swords, and then did not look back.
He retreated violently indoors.
But before he could knock him back with his back, he had already seen clearly Rong Sheng, who was completely without weapons. He suddenly felt a sharp wind coming from the side. Apart from the desk, there were only a few chairs in the room. The place was not big. This sudden attack
He couldn't dodge the attack, so by the time he felt a sharp pain in his side, it was already too late. Kneeling down on one knee, he saw a dagger still dripping blood in Rong Sheng's hand, and he instantly felt
There was an urge to gnash one's teeth.
Why did this old guy suddenly become smarter!
The next moment, a shining waist knife was placed on his neck. However, before he could react, there was another heavy blow on the back of his neck. At the last moment before losing consciousness, he finally heard
Rongsheng’s voice became clear.
"Uncle Ping Bei, this extremely vicious person must be interrogated strictly and he must not be given the opportunity to commit suicide!"
Rongsheng, you damn old guy, you are the bastard of eighteen generations of your ancestors!
Seeing Ding Guang being knocked unconscious, Xu Xun's eyes flashed sharply, he glanced at Rong Sheng, and then told Cao Qian: "Treat the wound, don't let anyone die!"
After hearing this, he saw Cao Qian squatting down and skillfully tearing open Ding Guang's clothes and taking out a roll of cotton from his arms. Rong Sheng felt his heart skip a beat. Even he didn't know what Cao Qian was feeling.
Even though he was so well prepared, he was still afraid that the attitude he had just revealed would dissatisfy the two people opposite him. However, at this juncture, he could only kneel down on one knee and salute: "Uncle Pingbei, I am ashamed of my humble position.
I really didn’t expect that he would be so bold as to dare to deliberately assassinate..."
"It's not so much a bold and deliberate assassination, it's better to say that he jumped over the wall after being exposed, and then he wanted to hold me hostage."
Xu Xun glanced sideways at the door. Thinking that there were three or four guards outside at that moment, he couldn't help but secretly sighed that it was reasonable for him to be afraid of well ropes after being bitten by a snake for ten years. Otherwise, he would have been kidnapped just now.
Even if it can be solved afterwards, it will be a big joke if it spreads. Who told him that he is still half-assed at practicing martial arts at his age, let alone that he has no such skills at all?
Therefore, he turned around and looked at Rong Sheng condescendingly, and said in a deep voice: "I was listening outside just now. It seems that General Rong and Ding Guang have known each other for a long time?"
"Replying to my uncle, I am not acquainted with him, but he is a generous man and has a lot of money, so he is quite popular among the military schools in Ningxia Town. In his humble position, he only asked him to handle the land purchase." I know everything I just said.
Let Xu Xun hear it, Rongsheng didn't dare to quibble, but he had to put aside his own involvement and simply bent the other leg, "When I was in my humble position, I did it for the five hundred acres of land and the city of Ningxia."
A wealthy family was involved in a lawsuit. The wealthy family seemed to have some close ties with Prince Qing's palace. He found a way to get it handled by Bei Zhi. Bei Zhi only thought that he was one of Qian Hu who was guarding Prince Qing, and that he had some dignity in front of His Highness Prince Qing.
I didn’t know that he had ulterior motives…”
"Okay, you don't need to say any more!"
Xu Xun knew that he might not be able to get anything out of an old man like Rong Sheng, so he immediately reached out and called Cao Qian forward and said: "Go back immediately. The officer who was with Ding Guang immediately went to capture it secretly! If
If you alarm others, tell Lu Hai clearly where Ding Guang is. If he still doesn’t believe it, let him come to see me himself!”….
"yes!"
When Cao Qian agreed and left quickly, Xu Xun didn't even look at Ding Guang, who was unaware of the people on the ground, and said directly to Rong Sheng: "General Rong, I don't want to talk nonsense. I'll give you two days to clear the pontoon bridge."
All the materials are ready, and when the time comes, I will cross the river and enter the Loop immediately!"
Although Xu Xun never mentioned what happened just now, Rong Sheng knew that if he wanted this matter to be over completely, it would depend on how he behaved next. Therefore, he did not dare to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and just said yes.
He stepped back. After he left, Xu Xun ordered someone to tie up Ding Guang and escort him out. However, he did not rush out of the room. Instead, he sat down in front of Rong Sheng's desk as a guest. As soon as he sat down, he immediately
When I saw the two pieces of letter paper dripping with ink, I immediately took them in my hands and started reading them with great interest.
Seeing that Rongsheng's head was Jun Jian, the commander-in-chief, he immediately mentioned with caution that he, the Pingbei uncle, had to cross the river after arriving at Pinglu City. He then expressed his sufferings and finally asked for instructions on how to deal with it.
, his words were humble and respectful, but he also showed burning concern, which made him smile. After thinking about it, he put the two pieces of letter paper aside and pressed them down on the paperweight, and took the half of Rongsheng's unused letter.
With ink on the inkstone, I picked up a few pieces of paper and started writing furiously.
This was not a memorial that required careful consideration of words, and he did not care about the quality of the words. He finished it in one go. When the ink was slightly dry, he put the letter into an envelope and sealed it one by one. He called his confidants outside to come in, but
He gave each of them a letter: "You send it to Mr. Yang in Xingwu Camp, and you send it to Eunuch Zhang in Ningxia City. There is no need for them to reply. Just say that I ask them to consider how to deal with it!"
At present, there are still such hidden worries. Xu Xun wants to know how anxious Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong will be. Of course, most of Yang Yiqing's main energy will be focused on fighting against the coalition forces of Balsborot and Huoshai. What is really important?
The one who should be focusing on this matter should be Zhang Yong. Although I really want to guess what means Zhang Yong will use, but at the moment he has more important things to do, so he can only put it aside for the time being.
Dongshan Col seemed a bit cold in the evening. Xu Xun's prediction was slightly off. Cao Qian suddenly came back with a dozen personal guards. He only used a little trick to capture Zhang Qin, who was on the same road as Ding Guang, but he didn't do anything.
This alerted the other escort officers of King Qing. When Xu Xun came back and learned of this clean and tidy act, he praised Cao Qian and ordered people to summon Lu Hai and others. When everyone arrived,
He didn't say anything and had someone untie a sack next to him.
Recognizing the man in the sack who was tied up and stuffed with rags, Lu Hai and others all changed their expressions. Some of them couldn't help but get angry and yelled: "Uncle Pingbei, what do you mean?"
Xu Xun raised his brows and said calmly, "This person volunteered to go to Pinglu City with me, but in the end he went to persuade General Rong Sheng of Pinglu City on the North Road to report to the Prince of Anhua in Ningxia City, and then let Rong Sheng delay my request.
Itinerary, unexpectedly I heard every word outside, he unexpectedly made a surprise attack again, intending to hold me hostage, what do you think this means?"
Everyone was indignant for a moment. However, after hearing what Xu Xun said, there was an unspeakable silence in the place. They were no longer young boys, the youngest of them was now over fifty, where?
How could he be so ignorant of world affairs? Most of the officers in the guard of King Qing were close to King Anhua. Either they didn't know it, or they themselves. Faced with Zhu Zhixiu's intentional acceptance, most of them had received benefits to a greater or lesser extent, but they didn't.
Thinking that Ding Guang would do such a thing at this juncture. After a long time, Lu Hai suddenly lifted his military robe and knelt down on one knee.
"Although we are not aware of what happened to Uncle Ping Bei and Ding Qianhu, but since Pao Ze is guilty, we are equally guilty."
Seeing a man kneeling down silently, Xu Xun said calmly: "In this case, I don't worry about leaving people in Pinglu City. This person and Zhang Qin, who was captured before, will be under your custody. But so that you can
I can be lenient in persuading them to confess what their intentions are. Otherwise, the mere act of assassinating an official of the imperial court is enough to implicate their families!"
No one expected that Xu Xun would treat Ding Guang and Zhang Qin so lightly. For a moment, they couldn't believe their ears. What made them even more unexpected was that Xu Xun turned around and walked out not far away, when his head suddenly
Without looking back, he said: "Ningxia has a city to pacify and suppress the rebels, but whether it is a pacification or a town, it needs to be destroyed first! If I can defeat the rebels in one fell swoop this time, I will write to the emperor to build Ningxia."
Polu Guards, officers at all levels from the commander to the following levels will all be selected from among the heroes of this time, and I will never be stingy with rewards, etc. I hope you will wait and take care of yourself!"
