The Southwest Wind and Clouds Chapter 104: Former Officials of the Palace
Jiang Xuanbei intends to win over Yi Tianhang, and his words are full of temptations, while Yi Tianhang pretends to be confused and wants to find out what Jiang Xuanbei wants.
Jiang Xuanbei sighed and said seriously: "During today's discussion, didn't Lieutenant Yidu realize that? Feng Zun wanted to attack me, but it happened to be a barbarian attack. He was afraid that if he killed me, there would be no one to lead the troops, and the morale of the army would be low.
It’s just stable!”
"Captain Jiang, be careful. Don't make random guesses without any evidence, which will ruin your brotherhood!" Yi Tianhang was still playing hard to get.
Feng Zun was determined to join the Southern Qi Dynasty. Yi Tianhang considered for his own revenge plan, if necessary, he had to get rid of Feng Zun, and Jiang Xuanbei and his son were the best candidates to do this.
"How many members of King Qin's army still have such ambitions?" Yi Tianhang asked a digression without waiting for Jiang Xuanbei's reply, which was also what Yi Tianhang was most concerned about.
"Huh? What did Captain Yi say?" Jiang Xuanbei was puzzled.
"There are two big flags hanging on the high walls on both sides of the gate of Qinwang Village!" Yi Tianhang said seemingly indifferently, but in fact he was testing.
"I wish to gain thousands of subordinates and wipe out the traitors of the puppet Zhou Dynasty!" Jiang Xuanbei thought of this oath and repeated it in his mouth. His eyes turned red. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but he forgot that there was something in the glass.
Hot tea.
Jiang Xuanbei said angrily: "There are many people in King Qin's army today who still remember the aspirations of their ancestors. Although many of the martyrs returned to the loess back then, half of the athletes in the stronghold today are descendants of martyrs! The hatred of the country's subjugation is passed down from generation to generation, but only
There is no longer a master of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this world. We and the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are like lonely ghosts, confused and unaware of the way forward!"
"What if there are still royal bloodline alive in Dazhou?" Yi Tianhang asked tentatively.
"If you have royal blood, I will work hard to save my great Zhou Dynasty!" Jiang Xuanbei was extremely excited at this moment.
Listening to the conversation between the two men, Jiang Guangli felt more and more that there was something wrong with Yi Tianhang, and he frequently winked at Jiang Xuanbei.
Jiang Xuanbei also reacted, calmed down and asked: "Is there really a descendant of my Zhou royal family in this world?"
Yi Tianhang's reaction to Jiang Xuanbei was unexpected. He didn't expect that Captain Jiang was also a loyal minister of the previous week, but his age seemed inappropriate, so he said again: "Haha, just now Yi made a mistake, and Jiang
The captain thought about the past, but there was something unclear about Yi. Considering the age of the captain, he was probably just a young man back then, so why did he have such deep feelings for his predecessor?"
"To this day, it's okay to tell you that when I was young, I was the bodyguard of the Prince of Hanping, and was greatly favored by King Hanping and the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was young at that time, so the guards around him were all young men." Jiang Xuanbei replied.
"Then how did Lieutenant Jiang get to Qinwang Village?" Yi Tianhang continued to ask.
"Alas! Thinking of the past, I feel heart-wrenching pain. That year when the prince went to Beijing to serve the king, the rebels took the opportunity to attack Hanping County. We and a group of royal guards led by Mr. Cao protected the mistress and the prince to break through, but unfortunately they escaped.
After leaving, the whereabouts of Master Cao and the Crown Prince were unknown. The mistress was worried about the Crown Prince, and soon fell ill and died. In the end, only a dozen of our bodyguards were left. They found the Anxi Army and stayed under General Feng Yuan to serve. Later, they were defeated and managed to survive.
, arrived here with the troops!"
Jiang Xuanbei was talking endlessly at this time, not to mention that what he said was not a secret at all, it was just that the speaker did not mean it, but the listener did it with intention.
Yi Tianhang secretly said: "Prince Hanping? Prince? Lord Cao? Aren't you talking about father and Uncle Cao? I didn't expect that Captain Jiang was actually my father's personal guard when he was young. What a twist of fate, more than forty years apart.
In the year, I was able to meet an old member of the royal family!"
Yi Tianhang tried his best to control his emotions and asked with a normal expression: "Where is your son?"
"Li'er? Speaking of Li'er, I have to say that it was God's will. More than ten years ago, a plague broke out in northern Sichuan. I was purchasing armaments in the Danqu area. When I was returning to the village, I met Li'er on the roadside and saw him.
He looked determined, and he was alone. He was dressed in rags at a young age, but he was carrying a spear. He didn't want to be with the refugees, so I paid more attention to him, but I didn't expect him to be the son of an old friend! The spear behind him was Lord Cao Hang's weapon, the Silver Snake Spear!"
Having said this, Jiang Xuanbei looked at Jiang Guangli, with affection in his eyes.
Yi Tianhang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he slowly turned his head to look at Jiang Guangli.
Jiang Xuanbei continued: "Li'er is the son of Master Cao of Cao Hang! In this way, I also learned about the encounter between the crown prince and Master Cao. It's a pity that Master Cao and the crown prince broke out of the siege and became an anonymous farmer in Danqu.
, did not die at the hands of the rebels, but died from the plague. I haven’t looked for him for more than 20 years! I only care about my own survival!"
When Jiang Xuanbei said this, he burst into tears and was heartbroken.
Yi Tianhang felt as if he had been struck by lightning at this moment. He could not hear what Jiang Xuanbei was saying clearly. He could only repeat in his mind: "Jiang Guangli! Son of Cao Hang?! Jiang Guangli! Cao Fu?! Jiang Guang"
Li? The eldest brother Cao Fu when he was young!"
Jiang Guangli noticed something strange on Yi Tianhang's face. Jiang Xuanbei saw Yi Tianhang staring at Jiang Guangli as if he had lost his mind and asked: "Yi Duwei?"
Yi Tianhang woke up instantly. This was not the time to recognize each other, and said: "I didn't expect Captain Jiang to be a righteous man. I'm disrespectful."
"Humph!" Jiang Guangli snorted coldly but did not answer.
Yi Tianhang gathered his thoughts and said: "I didn't expect God to have such an arrangement! It's really fate that plays tricks on people, and fate plays tricks on people!"
Seeing Yi Tianhang come to his senses, Jiang Xuanbei said apologetically: "I was upset for a moment, and I actually told Captain Yi Du about these old things, which made me laugh."
"It's okay, I'm just asking you out of curiosity. Now that I've heard about the past, I'm quite touched." Yi Tianhang replied.
Yi Tianhang saw that Jiang Xuanbei was still worried, so he continued: "Yi will not help General Feng regarding the surrender, but as the captain of the Southern Qi, he will not stand in the way. However, if there is a change in King Qin's stronghold, he will eventually be
If you keep one side safe, you will take action."
Although Yi Tianhang didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious.
"Okay, Captain Yi is worthy of being a hero of the younger generation. Thank you very much, sir!"
Jiang Xuanbei felt relieved when Yi Tianhang agreed. With this help, he had a better chance of defeating Feng Zun.
Although Yi Tianhang learned about the origins of Jiang Xuanbei and his son, he did not dare to recognize them easily for a while. Firstly, the location and timing were not right, and secondly, he needed to test it again. After so many years, who knew that this would happen?
Is the two people's loyalty to Dazhou real or fake? Perhaps like Feng Zun, they have already planned their own future.
Early on the next morning, Yi Tianhang was eating in the tent, and Yan Chun rushed into the tent in a panic: "Sir! Something happened! Wuling City was attacked by barbarians!"
"What!" Yi Tianhang got up after hearing this.
The fall of Wuling! Who could have imagined that such a big change would occur in this night.
Yan Chun swallowed his saliva and continued: "After the barbarian army retreated yesterday evening, they repeated their old tricks. They concealed their whereabouts in the mountains and forests, passed our military sentry posts, and went straight to Wuling. They took advantage of the night to break through the city gate, and the Wei city guard
Seeing that he couldn't do anything about it, he fled to Dazhai in the west of our city. On the way, he met Hu Kang who was transporting grain. Hu Kang immediately sent a fast horse Xingye to report, hoping that the captain would immediately send troops to come back for reinforcements!"
"You and Shan Yue immediately mobilize their troops, and I'll go capture Wangzhai and ask for reinforcements!" Yi Tianhang said.
"Captain Yi, I'm here." Before Yi Tianhang could walk out of the tent, he heard someone outside the tent say.
Jiang Xuanbei strode into the tent and said boldly: "Captain Yi, there is no need to say more. My subordinate Jian'er and the captain went to rescue Wuling. Quanzi has returned to Dazhai to find Feng Zun to mobilize troops. If Wuling is lost, I will go to Qin Wangzhai."
It will no longer exist!"
"Okay! Thank you Captain Jiang!" Yi Tianhang replied with clasped fists.
...
However, they said that last night, the barbarian general Suo Lang led his army to hide from the sentries of Wang Zhai and Yi Tianhang, arrived at Wuling in the early morning, broke through the city gate at night, and seized the city. After the barbarian army entered the city, they did not burn, kill, or loot.
The evil deed was just to capture Wei Yang's government office and occupy the city defense camp. Now the city gates are closed tightly, and the people in the city are keeping silent for fear of provoking barbarians and causing death.
Wuling City Guards House.
"Danba, you must control the warriors of our tribe and do not kill the young and old in the city. If our tribe wants to live in peace in Shu, we must have no offense with the people of Qi." Suolang said to the strong man Danba with a serious face.
"Don't worry, leader, our warriors in Tuxiao Village will all obey their leader. If anyone dares to disobey the order, I, Danba, will tear him apart first!" Danba said, patting his chest.
Suo Lang stopped talking. After a moment, he said: "I don't know what the situation is like between Jiawu and Jiangyang armies. I have to send someone to find out."
Danba replied: "Such trivial matters can be arranged later. The leader does not need to worry about it. It is a pity that Rondo has gone to Jiangyang, otherwise the leader can be more relaxed."
"With you here, I feel at ease, general. You mentioned before that during the fierce battle yesterday, the general who came down the mountain to rush into the formation was named Yi Tianhang?" Suo Lang looked at the beloved general in front of him and asked.
"Yes, we met in the battle formation and exchanged names. However, the general was incompetent and could not keep him in the battle formation!"
"Don't blame yourself. This person dared to break into our formation of ten thousand people with dozens of cavalry. He must have extraordinary ability and courage. Alright, let's follow this general to inspect the four defenses. Although our army has captured this city, it still has a lot of courage.
Be careful!”
...
The royal residence in Wulin City.
"Miss, now that the city has been lost and the streets are full of barbarians, it's better that you don't go out." The old housekeeper of the Wang family urged eagerly.
"Uncle Fu, my brother is leading an army outside. Now that the barbarian army has broken through the city, I am afraid that my brother will be in danger. Lan Zhi is really worried. If he doesn't go out to investigate, he will always feel uneasy." Wang Lanzhi's face was full of worry and peace at this time.
An anxious look.
"Captain Yidu is so brave that he will surely turn danger into good. I hope the lady will put her own safety first. If Captain Yidu leads his troops to fight back, but Miss is nowhere to be seen, wouldn't it make the captain worry again?"
"Oh~ well, I just hope that my brother is fine and can drive away this group of barbarians!"
...
To the west of Wuling City is Tianhang Dazhai.
"Captain Hu, how many soldiers and horses are there in the camp?" asked Wei Yang, the guard of Wuling City.
Although this old man was a civil servant, he showed no signs of panic at this time and was instead extremely calm.
Hu Kang replied: "My lord, there are only 50 people from Huang Facai in the camp, and 30 Qingqi under my command, as well as a few officials and more than a hundred county soldiers brought by your lord."
"Alas, the number of people is very small, not enough to regain the city, but how many scouts can be sent to monitor the movements of the barbarian army?" Wei Yang understood what was going on in the army very well.
"My subordinates have sent people to monitor Wuling closely. I just came to report that the four gates of Wuling City are tightly closed. There are many barbarians on the city wall and they are heavily guarded!"
"When will Captain Yidu's troops arrive?"
"My subordinates have informed the captain that if everything goes well, the captain's men will be able to arrive at Wuling City after noon. However, yesterday's battle resulted in heavy casualties. If we want to attack the city, we will have to steal the city gate at midnight."
"Forget it, we can just wait for Captain Yidu's reinforcements with peace of mind."
...
But it was said that Yi Tianhang and Jiang Xuanbei led their troops first, and Jiang Guangli went to find Feng Zun to mobilize troops. Feng Zun heard that Wuling was missing and personally led 3,000 troops to come to the rescue.
At the end of the day, south of Uling City.
Chapter completed!
