Chapter 54 Enemy Attack
☆Free novel reading [ ]
In the process of personnel arrangement, Xu Huaining would like to let Zhou Qinguang, Yuan Huidao, Xu Zhong and others be responsible for more specific things, and it would never be possible for Guo Jun to intervene too much.
Although Zhou Qinguang, Yuan Huidao, Xu Zhong and others were low-ranking officials, they were not sure how much they could get compared to the poor people at the bottom.
They all have family business in Lanzhou. As generals of the prison camp, they are at the right level. If prisoners want to live comfortably in the prison camp, they must be very filial to them and flatter them in every way. If they weren't coerced, how could they be willing to get involved in this matter?
They are afraid of serious crimes and will only be careful to keep the prisoners under their command from losing control and causing trouble, and will not indulge them in their vent of hatred in their chests and destroy them wantonly.
They would not have the thought of bringing people into the mountains and falling into the grass.
In this way, the three capitals, led by them, and the two capitals, led by Wang Kong, Xu Xin'an, Yan Xiaoyi and Tang Pan, can barely hold the restless hearts down in a short period of time.
What Xu Huai really wants to keep an eye on is Guo Junjue and Pan Chenghu to avoid them from having a chance to have a separate contact with Du Zhong and Meng Laodao, who were born in Xiemashan.
If Guo Junzong, Pan Chenghu, Du Zhong and Meng Laodao talked alone, they incited the restless prisoners to rush out of Huanglongpo Post together and fled to the depths of Guancen Mountain to the west, Xu Huai would have to plan another plan for the aftermath; and this is definitely not impossible.
He dragged two tragic corpses out and summoned the people and horses. Xu Huai just asked Guo Jun to judge. Pan Chenghu set the banner of the grain-seeking army in public and stated the purpose. After briefly saying something inspiring, he surrounded Guo again with Yin Peng and Tang Qing, and Pan returned to the front yard official hall. Xu Huai handed over the specific arrangement of the people and horses to Zheng Pan, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an, Wang Kong, Zhou Qinguang, Yuan Huidao, Xu Zhong and others to do it.
The sky is already dark, and the wind is cool as soon as the autumn night begins. Although Huanglongpoyi is more than 20 miles away from Kelan City, it is located on the key crossing between the north and the south.
At this time, no new business travelers passed. It can be seen that several roads of grain-bearing people gathered at Huanglongpo Post and did not leave. It has already alarmed the city of Kelan, and the road leading to Huanglongpo Post on all sides has been blocked.
However, Su Laochang, Xu Wukun and others did not send a signal, but Xu Huai didn't have to worry about not being able to sleep well tonight.
Xu Huai walked in again and handed two swords to Guo Junshou. Pan Chenghu said, "You are the chief and deputy commander. You show up in public, but there is no sword around you. It's really unreasonable. This is for you."
Guo Jun was a little calmer at this time. He took the sword and pressed the Ji Kuo and pulled it away. However, he saw that it was a broken blade with only about a foot of the blade, and the blade was knocked off with bricks and stones.
He hated that he wanted to throw the knife and sheath on Xu Huai's face.
Xu Huai asked Yin Peng and Tang Qing to take a turn to rest. It would be difficult to get through tonight. Tomorrow may be even more dangerous. He needs to keep his energy. He dragged a high chair and an Eight Immortals table under the window, sat down with his feet, put the broken sword in front of the table, and asked Guo Jun's judgment, Pan Chenghu:
"Have you figured out what I said now? Have you already recognized the true face of Chen Zixiao? There is an old saying that you would rather marry a good prostitute than marry a wall wife - you two must be willing to repent and change your mind from now on. In the eyes of Mr. Wang, you are a good prostitute. When Wang Bing makes a comeback, he will never treat you badly. He will not attract you like those who claim to be arrogant in the Cai clan, and he will still stare at you as thieves and guard against you, and even think about using you as thieves in the end..."
"Are you recruiting us? Do you think we are really three-year-olds, and you are so deceiving you? How can we be sure that after you have used us, you will not stab us both from behind?" Guo Junzong held his tiger's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Why should I do this?" Xu Huai shrugged and spread his hands to ask.
"You want to force Guo Zhongxiong to make concessions, but at the same time it is impossible to really break up with Guo Zhongxiong. Isn't the best way to give our heads to Guo Zhongxiong as a step after Guo Kuoxing agreed to your conditions? In this way, can you continue to hide your true face?" Guo Junzong said.
Xu Huai spread his hands and asked, "What do you need to hide my face? I tell you clearly that I am the Yasha Fox. Are you still puzzled? Are you still crying again and again in your heart? How is this possible?"
"If you don't be afraid of revealing your true face, where are Wu Qi?" Guo Junzong stared at Xu Huai and asked.
"Do you think I've made Wu Qi secretly?" Xu Huai asked back, "Although Wu Qi is also a pitiful egg, he is the confidant leader brought out by Chen Zixiao from Hutou Village. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have left him. However, I want to prove to you that Chen Zixiao was vicious and had arranged for him to go to Caocheng Village to report the news..."
"Wu Qi went to Caochengzhai to report the news. What can he prove?" Guo Jun asked in confusion.
"To be honest, even if you don't cooperate with us, you will not have a second choice except to escape into the mountains and become a bandit! If this happens today, Guo Zhongxiong and other Cai generals will never trust you any longer. Even if Guo Zhongxiong is concerned about the situation being magnified and out of control, he will not dare to act rashly on us for the time being, but he will definitely order the detention of all the surrendered generals and officials in Tongbai Mountain in Lanzhou. If Chen Zixiao is safe tomorrow, will it prove everything I said?" Xu Huai said calmly.
Xu Huai asked Wu Qi to go to Caocheng Village to find Chen Zixiao. To put it bluntly, he deliberately tried to alert the enemy.
Chen Zixiao could never have imagined that he could see through his identity as Yan Jian.
Seeing that he had not sold his plans before, Chen Zixiao wanted to protect himself or continue to lurk. The biggest possibility was to rush to the D-font-sized cell and try every means to judge Guo Jun in front of the mysterious man, and Chen Zixiao cut it.
Of course, Chen Zixiao may also escape overnight, but this will also be called Chen Zixiao. Pan Chenghu realized that they were just being used by Chen Zixiao.
Should we hold hostage or even win over Guo Jun's verdict, Pan Chenghu, Su Laochang, Xu Wukun, and even Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan all have different opinions.
The bandits in Tongbai Mountain were in chaos, and blood flowed into a river, with so many casualties. Even if Guo and Pan were not the main culprits, they were also accomplices with blood on their hands.
But Xu Huai has no better choice.
In Lanzhou and Lan Daixin and the four states on the north side of Hedong Road, Xu Huai had very limited personnel, and he could not bring all the more than a hundred people that Zhufengtang had finally pieced together.
Even if Xu Wujiang and the others had no objection, this little manpower would really not stir up any waves.
However, Xu Huai will not forget Chen Zixiao, Guo Junjue, Zhong Changqing, Gao Xiangzhong and others after they received the recruitment, and there were 6,000 bandit soldiers who were disbanded and placed in Lan to attack Xin and the four states to supplement the shortage of the troops in the banishing army.
Once the war against Yan was launched, the invaders of Tongbai Mountain went north and rushed to the battlefield in Shuozhou.
Now the Hedong Road General Secretary and the various military commanders have extremely strict control over the surrendered thieves and surrendered soldiers. Xu Huai did not think about launching an uncontrollable major change at this time and pulling these people to a mountain to become bandits. This is exactly what he wanted to stop Guo Jun from judging him and Pan Chenghu and the others at this time.
The war against Yan that could break out at any time is still foggy for most people.
However, in addition to the memory that emerged in his mind as a clear warning, combined with the chaos of the Tongbai bandits and the observation of the Dayue Ban Army and local officials during this period, this layer of fog was already extremely thin in front of Xu Huai.
The war against Yan, which was launched from Lanzhou along the Hui River to the north, is likely to be setback. If the war against Yan goes smoothly and the former Yanyun county can be successfully captured, Dayue's defense situation in the north is complete, how could it be easy to easily have an irreversible disaster?
The Khitans' defenders on Xijing Road were not strong and had fewer elite troops, which meant that the Great Vietnamese army and horses would be defeated in the war against Yan, but the possibility of being completely wiped out or suffering a devastating blow was extremely low.
This means that at that time, the bandits and generals who came out of Tongbai Mountain would join other defeated soldiers to retreat or escape to Lanzhou.
Under such circumstances, Wang Bing stood up to assist the generals of the Yan Dynasty to gather defeated troops on the northern foot of Guancen Mountain and work hard to reorganize the defense line. No one would refuse, let alone anyone would stop it.
This will also be the best or only opportunity for Xu Huai to gather the enemy troops in Tongbai Mountain in Lanzhou. When Guo Jun judges, Pan Chenghu will play an irreplaceable role that no one can replace.
Without Guo Jun's judgment, Pan Chenghu first relied on them (Wang Bing). Why did the invaders in Tongbai Mountain gather around them who had deep hatred for each other?
Even if they can take advantage of the chaos to gather one or two thousand troops, or if a commander or someone sends a transfer order, these bandit soldiers and generals have no trust or dependence on them at all. If they don’t hand over the troops and horses, aren’t they afraid that the old story of Jingsheng’s army will be repeated?
Only when the Tang Dynasty was able to use the help of Guo Jun and Pan Chenghu, the Tang Dynasty's foul soldiers could be used by them and the border defense line was extremely fragile, would no one dare to take advantage of their military power easily.
Xu Huai wanted to try his best to seize a glimmer of hope in the turbulent chaos and the turbulent disasters that come at any time. Now there are too few chess pieces that can be grasped in his hand.
Guo Jun judged Pan Chenghu, how could he abandon Pan Chenghu and not fight for these two chess pieces?
Moreover, the current situation is inseparable from the verdict of Guo Jun and Pan Chenghu's full cooperation!
When Xu Huai saw Guo Jun's judgment, Pan Chenghu was still surprised and confused, and said with a pout:
"... Even if I let you go now, you will be willing to become a bandit for the rest of your life. Even the wives who are hidden in Qingniuyu and Longshigou will not recognize each other until they die. They dare not let them openly continue the incense of your old Pan family and the old Guo family? Don't stare at me. You are secretly in Qingniuyu and Longshigou to raise your wife incense. Before the battle at Huangqiao Village, I found out. However, I have a bottom line in my life than you imagined! You, you are all killing people, and don't seem to take the head on your neck seriously, but you are still thinking about the incense of renewal. It's ridiculous, a pity!"
Pan Chenghu looked at Guo Junjue, and he almost saw his shock from Guo Junjue's eyes: They really have a glimmer of possibility, can they have played with this ruffian tiger who looks like they don't even have bird feathers?
