Ming Zuo

Chapter 349 The Hidden Truth

Daoshi Wei is now a popular man in Xizhou City, and all civil and military officials have become his followers.

So when he appeared in front of Yang Wei, Gao Yi and others again, everyone bowed their heads and listened, more respectful than when they met their boss.

"I watched the celestial phenomenon last night. There is an evil spirit hidden ten miles east of the city. This is where the safety of Xizhou lies. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, the evil spirit will definitely attract villains and destroy the life of my Xizhou."

Yang Wei and Gao Yi shivered and hurriedly asked, "Immortal, how to get rid of this evil spirit?"

Daoist Wei took out a sword engraved with yin and yang runes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lords, this Daoist has already obtained this demon-slaying sword from Daoist Taiyi. It is only necessary for the two adults to use Wenqu and Wuqu Xianwei as the This way, slaying demons and eliminating demons is not a problem.”

Yang Wei and Gao Yi were reluctant to hear that they were going to leave the city for ten miles.

"But... but I heard that the rebels are in Pu County, is this too risky?"

Daoist Wei said gloomily: "How can you two adults not know? This evil is another evil. Only by killing this evil, can the evil thief be avoided."

He added some more help.

"Puxian County is hundreds of miles away, and the rebels can't fly over the mountains and mountains even with their wings on, and they will come overnight. If the two adults feel that it is not right, they can instruct the soldiers to open the city gate and be vigilant at all times when they leave the city. If there is an anti-thief attack, we can return calmly, so that we can ensure that nothing is lost."

Yang Wei and Gao Yi thought about it and thought it was very reasonable.

"Slaying demons and eliminating demons, Ningjing place, we are bound to wait. In this way, let's go quickly."

On the second day, Taoist Wei made complete preparations, and took Yang Wei, Gao Yi, and the others out of the city in a mighty manner, heading straight to the east of the city.

Just as they were leaving the city, the two were always watching their movements at the noodle stall beside the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate was still open, the two were overjoyed, and after paying the money, they quickly ran back to a hidden courtyard.

This seemingly unremarkable courtyard has dozens of big men hidden inside.

The leader was Liang Yue.

"Brother Liang, the dog officer has indeed left the city, and the city gate is not closed."

Liang Yue couldn't help laughing, and said to the crowd, "Brothers, it's time for me to make an extraordinary contribution today. As long as we seize the city gate and welcome the intruders into the city, from now on, we will not be without prosperity and wealth."

At this point, everyone has long since surrendered to Liang Yue.

"Brother Liang, let's do it."

Liang Yuezhi was complacent and waved his hand.

"Set off."

Dozens of fierce soldiers left the courtyard and walked towards the city gate along the remote alley.

In the field outside the city, there were many people lying down at this time, and Li Guo was among them.

"Liang Yue, I have guaranteed you in front of my uncle and uncle. If it doesn't work today, I will have to chop off your head with my own hands."

"Major General, look, the dog officer has left the city."

Seeing Xizhou city gate open and a large group of people heading east, Li Guo was almost impulsive.

Fortunately, he woke up quickly and was still lying on the ground.

His subordinates were impatient.

"Major General, let's kill it. These dog officials have left the city, even pigs and dogs are inferior."

Li Guo reprimanded: "What's the hurry? We are going to attack Xizhou City, and a few dog officials are not worth it. Besides, the generals have their own arrangements, and we don't need to meddle in our own business. Now, when there is movement at the lower city gate, if anyone rushes slowly, I will kill him."

Li Guo didn't wait for a long time. Just after Xizhou Wenwu walked out for a few miles, there was a sudden burst of panic shouting at the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a high-spirited man wielding a big sword to kill the soldiers at the city gate, and defended there firmly.

He clearly saw that it was Liang Yue.

Li Guo was overjoyed, jumped out of the weeds, pointed at the city gate, and shouted, "Sir, kill!"

Thousands of rebels descended from the sky like divine soldiers, and cooperated with Liang Yue to cooperate with each other, directly killing and dispersing the defenders at the Dongcheng Gate, opening the passage to Xizhou.

Yang Wei and Gao Yi, who had walked far away, heard the movement behind them, and when they looked back, they were immediately stunned.

"Oh, no, the thieves are going to take the city. High defense... high defense..."

Yang Wei called twice, but no one answered.When he turned his head again, he saw that a horse's butt was almost out of sight.

He didn't know why, but suddenly there was a huge earthquake roaring and neighing from the mountain road in the distance.

Soon, tens of thousands of rebels came out of the jungle, and under the sun, the light of the sword was cold.

Yang Wei finally reacted and slapped the sedan frantically.

"Hurry, hurry, carry this master away!"

However, the bearers felt that this suggestion was not friendly, and if they obeyed the order, they might be buried with Yang Wei.

So the bearers threw the sedan chair and fled first.

Yang Wei was thrown a lot and struggled for a long time before crawling out of the sedan chair.Before he could stand firm, a tall horse flew by, and the huge hoof kicked him on the forehead.

Master Zhizhou, who has been reading poetry and books, asked Master Yang of ghosts and gods without doing anything in the face of danger, and finally went to see ghosts and gods in person.

Wei Daoshi did not run.

He is an internal responder, he is active, and he feels that he can find a bigger job.

So when he saw the rebels rushing towards him, he took the initiative to meet them.

"Guys, I am..."

The pawn rushing towards him just felt that he was making a noise and slashed impatiently.

Well, those who specially invited God also went to see God.

Xizhou, an important town in western Shanxi, was so absurdly captured by the Northwest Rebels in one day.

The earth trembled in Sanjin, and the imperial court trembled!
..........................................

Zuo Menggeng received the battle report from Shanxi, but he didn't care much.

Today's Li Zicheng and others can't become a climate, and they do not have the strength to conquer the world and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

His focus is on a piece of information that has been ignored by history.

This information is very interesting.

Many people who study history have not noticed.

But the people in the intelligence department were very powerful. After integrating the recent political affairs, they presented it to Zuo Menggeng.

"Wang Daochun...Wang Daoyuan...Wang Daozhi..."

The three names were repeated by Zuo Menggeng, and then he asked, "Are they brothers?"

Wu Zhenxi is in charge of this.

"Not only a brother, but also Wang Weiran's uncle, all from the Puzhou Wang family."

Zuo Menggeng checked the information again, and his smile became more and more exciting.

"It's a bit interesting, the court is not wronged to be defeated."

After Wang Chonggu of the Puzhou Wang family, there are still clansmen active in the court.Although they are not as powerful as Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, and the world looks up to them, the power in their hands is not small at all.

Moreover, this kind of power will cause great losses to the Ming Dynasty unknowingly, and it will not attract attention.

Especially since July of the fourth year of Chongzhen, these three people became very active.

Wang Daoyuan is okay, far away in Guangdong.

Originally, it has been relatively quiet, but recently, he participated in pacifying the chaos of Zhong Guoxiang, Lu Yanbo, and Yan Dingji.

The Guangdong tour press Gao Qinshun has already petitioned the imperial court and asked for credit for Wang Daoyuan.

According to the news from the DPRK, Wang Daoyuan was going to be appointed as the political envoy of the Guangdong Right.

Compared with Wang Daoyuan, who is far away, what he did as a Zhili inspector according to Wang Daozhi had to be thought-provoking.

Just this July, Wang Daozhi made his move one after another.

He first impeached Liu Bangyu, the deputy commander of Shanhai, for corruption, and then petitioned for the dismissal of [-] artisans in the manufacture of weapons in Shanhai.

The name given is that you can save more than [-] taels of silver every year.

On the surface, his actions are all loyal to his duties.

But when is it now?
Zu Dashou was building Dalinghe City, and everyone knew that Houjin would definitely come to attack, and the war was about to break out.

As a result, in the tense atmosphere before the war, he impeached the powerful generals and abolished the military industry...

What Zuo Menggeng didn't know was that Wang Daozhi would still attack Meng Dao, the deputy general, in early August.

First, he impeached Meng Dao for failing to build the beacon tower in Hejiashan, and he should be punished according to the law. Then he said that Meng Dao was brave in battle and took the lead.

This series of eliminations and fights is equivalent to holding a real military general in his hands, and he has to bow his head and listen to him.

Also in the battle of Dalinghe, Wang Daozhi would also take action to impeach Zhang Binzhang, the deputy commander of the army.

At the moment of the war, the successive battles against the former generals cannot help but make people doubt their purpose.

In particular, Wang Daozhi came from Shanxi, and Zuo Menggeng knew all about what Shanxi merchants were doing, so he was even more suspicious of the purpose.

Wang Daochun did not exert any influence on the battle of Dalinghe, but his behavior is also worth studying.

Because this person is currently a Shandong patrol.

In history, the strange thing about this person's behavior is that he hid Sun Yuanhua's appeal documents to Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and others without authorization, and at the same time urged Shandong Governor Yu Dacheng to send troops.

As a result, the last remaining force in Shandong sent by Yu Dacheng was completely wiped out, which made Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde successfully attack the city of Dengzhou, causing a catastrophe.

Looking at the actions of the Wang brothers at this time, Zuo Menggeng couldn't help feeling sad for Chongzhen.
