high official

Chapter 454
"Otherwise, what can I do? I have to find a way out for my brothers..." Liu Zijin sighed, "You know the current situation best. Do we have any other options?"

"..." Liu Xing was speechless at the moment. Before, he insisted on the belief that it would be good to wait for the elder brother to come back. Now that Liu Zijin came back, he was alone, so what's the use?After a long while he said in a muffled voice: "Back then when our nine brothers gathered together, we thought about eating meat in large chunks, sharing money in large scales, and not being bullied by the court. Now the eldest brother is thinking of surrendering to the court, which is really chilling."

"At that time, we were all so stupid. We wanted to be the king of the mountain, but we didn't know that we were used as swords from the very beginning." Liu Zijin sighed: "Now that the foundation has been taken away, and the government and army are going to attack it again, we don't want to If you talk about fame and wealth, you have to find a way out for your brothers."

"Song Jiang in Liangshanpo thought the same way, but he killed all his brothers." The storytelling that Liu Xing and the others love to listen to most is "Water Margin". When they killed officials and rebelled, it might not have been influenced by Shi Naian's reaction .In fact, if you can become an official through rebellion, it might not be a good way out, but if the court settles the score after the autumn, it can only be slaughtered...

"Oh, I can't take care of that far away..." Liu Zijin sighed and said, "It's a big deal that I will quit my job at that time, brothers, let's go to Nanyang together."

"..." Liu Xing stopped talking. After the initial anger, he also realized that this was the only way out.

"Forget it, let's celebrate the New Year first, and we'll talk about things after the New Year..." Liu Zijin patted him on the shoulder and said.

"We can't let Yu Gui and Han Tiancheng be sons of bitches, we must let them pay with blood!" Liu Xing raised his head and said with red eyes.

"Of course!"

.

This new year in Taiyuan City, because it is the first year after the old concubine passed away, so the whole city is not allowed to set off whips, and the Spring Festival couplets cannot be posted, and there is no such thing as lions, gongs and drums.

Zhu Zhanji arrived in Taiyuan on the 28th. As soon as he entered the city, he went to Jinwang Palace to offer sacrifices on behalf of the emperor, and announced that he would stay in the palace for seven days as a sign of silence.The army who came with him also lived in the barracks outside the city, put their swords and guns into storage, and prepared bread and dumplings for the new year.

This made Pang Ying, who had been nervously watching, completely relieved... It seems that during the Chinese New Year, the grandson did not do much.This is the best way, so as to save myself from being uneasy during the New Year.Speaking of the Chinese New Year, he really admires a noble young man like Zhang Wei, who will never wrong him, even if the whole city is keeping filial piety for the old concubine, Zhang Wei still wants to celebrate the New Year lively.

The small Jiangnan in Taiyuan City is like a little red among thousands of white bushes, and the whole city is covered with silver, but here is decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy, and there are two distinct worlds from the outside world.On the upper floor of the three-storey building, there are strings of red lanterns hanging. There are several large round tables inside the building. There are all kinds of dishes on the tables. Dozens of guests of different identities sat beside them.There are senior military officers who came from Datong specially to accompany Zhang Min during the Chinese New Year, there are wealthy businessmen from Taiyuan that Zhang Min recently met in Xiaojiangnan, and even the brothers King Qingcheng and King Yonghe... Although the old concubine belongs to these two masters. The aunt, but the brothers are not interested in mourning for her, and they don't want to celebrate the New Year in a deserted place, so they come to join in the fun.

It was really lively here, besides dozens of distinguished guests, there were hundreds of sisters from Xiao Jiangnan.They don't see each other on weekdays, but this time, one is for the New Year, and the other is for the face of Second Young Master Zhang, so they gathered together.Famous courtesans from Qinhuai, Datong mother-in-law, Taishan girl, West Lake boat lady, Yangzhou skinny horse...all of them show off their beauty and compete for splendor, which dazzles and shakes the hearts of those guests who love flirting. Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, no taboos.So I asked the two princes to choose the girl first. Although Zhu Jixuan and his brothers are the kings of the county, they are not as important as the second son of Zhang. Hug right, laugh and play with a few girls.

After Zhang Xiang finished picking, Zhu Jixuan and his brothers were not polite, and then came Pang Ying... But Xiao Jiangnan has no shortage of girls, no matter whether it is morning or evening, he can find a girl he likes, and everyone indulges in fun among the fans.For a while, the lights in the hall were feasting and feasting, it was like heaven and earth, making people feel ecstatic.

Zhang Min was having fun by himself, not forgetting his second brother Wang, and asked Pang Ying, "Why hasn't Wang Xian come yet?"

"I forgot to tell you, my lord." Pang Ying patted his head and said, "Wang Xian's subordinates said earlier that he was drinking New Year's wine in the military camp and was drunk by his subordinates. He was so drunk that he couldn't enter the city. .”

"Haha, tell him not to go to the camp at this time." Zhang Yu laughed: "Alcohol is usually banned in the military camp, but the ban has been lifted in the past few days, and everyone will drink to their mother's death."

"I don't think he might be drunk," King Qingcheng Zhu Jixuan said with a chuckle, "He doesn't dare to come."

"Why don't you dare to come?" Zhang Min laughed.

"He's afraid that my sixth brother will settle accounts with him." Zhu Jixuan glanced at Zhu Jihong who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile.

"It makes sense!" Everyone in the know laughed, but Zhu Jihong's face was even uglier.

.

It was snowing again in the sky, the gates of the city were closed early, and the barracks of the young army outside the city were brightly lit. Tens of thousands of soldiers were eating dumplings in the barracks, but each person was only served a bowl of wine, which made the soldiers a little Dissatisfied with their desires, they wanted to find a military adviser or General Cheng or General Xu, and beg for some wine, but they were rejected.

At the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, Zhou Yong stopped a group of soldiers and told them that the military divisions and generals were discussing matters, and no one was allowed to disturb them.The soldiers didn't believe it, and they laughed and said, what's the matter on this big New Year's Eve?Not going to be eating good bars behind our backs.Veterans are the most sensible, knowing that their bosses will not punish them, so they become a little presumptuous.

"Anyone who dares to make noise will be dealt with by military law!" Zhou Yong said with a dark face, and the guards behind him also looked unfriendly. Happy New Year, take chicken feathers as arrows..."

Zhou Yong ignored them, and the silence in front of the Chinese military tent finally returned, but the air in the Chinese military tent separated by one tent became more and more tense...

It is said that Wang Xian, who was drunk, stood in front of Xue Huan, Mo Wen, Xu Huaiqing, Cheng Zheng and other generals in a sober state, and said in a deep voice, "Declaration of the order of the prince, the army will set off at the first hour, and march into Guangling County!"

Most of the generals were surprised when they heard the words, because they knew the situation more or less, and knew that the army rations needed to suppress the bandits were not in place. Could it be that these ten thousand people went to suppress the bandits?

"Soldiers are good but not many," Wang Xian said indifferently: "Guangling County is a district of thieves, 1 of us are enough."

"Military division, you can't trust us." Cheng Zheng spoke bluntly, and hurriedly persuaded him, "The enemy has fifty thousand troops, and they are defending against danger, and they have enough food and fodder. How can we do it with this little force!"

"It depends on the person." Wang Xian smiled and said, "Old Mo, tell everyone."

"Yes," Mo Wen replied, looked at the crowd and said, "The so-called water has no shape, soldiers have no shape, the number of troops is only one aspect that affects the outcome, it also depends on the strategies and tactics of the two sides, the morale of the army, the situation on the battlefield, etc. Now everyone thinks that it is impossible for us to play in the Chinese New Year, and if we want to launch a surprise attack at this time, we must be surprised, this is one of them."

"Now the rebel army is in civil turmoil. Yu Gui and Han Tiancheng's department is attacking Liu Xing's department in Pingxingguan. The military division released Liu Zijin a few days ago and provided them with some food and fodder, which should allow them to resist for more than a month. In this way, the main force of the enemy army will be destroyed. If it is attracted to the south, the defense in the west must be empty. We are caught by surprise, and we have a great chance of winning if we are not prepared, this is the second."

"Yu Guiwei Wuque has been ruling Guangling County with high pressure and withholding the rations of the believers. He has complained a long time ago. His longing for the saint has reached its peak, and the saint of Bailian is..." Mo Wen looked at Wang Xian while talking, and everyone was late Chi Zhi smiled, it was Xue Huan, the overlord who dared to speak: "It's the military adviser's wife!"

"This is the third." Wang Xian chuckled, then took over the topic and said: "The fourth is that there has been a heavy snowstorm in the past few days, and it is the New Year, and there are no pedestrians on the road. We will relax a lot due to the bad weather, which will give us a chance to sneak attack. If the weather is fine, we really dare not act rashly. Therefore, the weather, time and people are all on our side. If we can surprise them, attack them unprepared, and attack their cities directly, we will surely be able to fight And win!"

Seeing that the prince and the military adviser had already made up their minds, now they just announced the order, and the generals stopped worrying about whether to go to war or not, and instead asked about the specific arrangements.After all, attacking Guangling on a snowy night is a very dangerous action, if there is a slight mistake, the whole army will be wiped out!

However, Wang Xian's arrangements were very meticulous, ranging from the clothing of the soldiers to keep out the cold, to the route and method of marching, and the planning and arrangement of the battle. It was done by Mo Wen, but he always kept a low profile and left the limelight to Wang Xian.

"Is there any problem?" Wang Xian looked at the generals and shook his head when he saw them, so he said in a deep voice: "Go and gather the soldiers, pack your bags, gather at the school ground after a stick of incense, and set off overnight!"

"Here!" All the generals clasped their fists together and exited the big tent.Soon, whistles, shouts, and hurried footsteps came from the barracks.The soldiers who were still begging for drinks just now left their jobs and ran back to their respective camps to pack their bags. They were not in a hurry, because in the drills of the young army, emergency gatherings and midnight training were reserved programs. I have been ravaged a lot, so I can be orderly now...

In less than a stick of incense, the ten thousand soldiers are neatly dressed and lined up on the school field, but it is inevitable that some people are hiccupping, and more people are puzzled. I don’t know why the Chinese New Year is training... For the sake of confidentiality, the senior officer They did not announce their combat intentions, they just ordered to gather and set off.

　Second update.After I came back, the rhythm was disrupted. I was desperately trying to find my status today. I need everyone’s support. Please recommend a ticket! ! ! !
