Chapter 317 Surrounding Wei to save Zhao
…
Li Yan conquered the Daming Mansion and tried publicly, and the money, grain and various materials were not reported for the time being.
Let’s talk about the day when Liang Zhongshu sent his confidant Wang Ding to Beijing to ask for help with his family letter.
Wang Ding did not dare to neglect and rushed to the streets at night until he was in front of Cai Jing's mansion in Tokyo.
The clerk forwarded the report and Cai Jing called Wang Dingjin to see him.
When he arrived at the back hall, Wang Ding bowed and presented Liang Zhongshu’s secret letter.
Cai Jing saw it and was shocked, then quickly asked Wang Ding for details!
When Wang Ding left Daming Mansion, there was no sign that it was not the people from Erlong Mountain who attacked Daming Mansion but the Liangshan Army. Therefore, Wang Ding sued Li Gu and told Cai Jing about the "people from Erlong Mountain" who robbed the court of justice and asked Lu Junyi and other things.
After hearing this, Cai Jing became suspicious and said, "Why are Erlong Mountain so bold?"
Wang Ding told Cai Jing what he heard: "The Erlong Mountain successively captured Gaotang City and Qingzhou City, and plundered all the wealth of the two cities. It has long been bigger and now it is unstoppable. I am afraid that among the thieves, only under Tian Hu and Wang Qing."
Cai Jing knew that Gaotang City was not captured by Erlong Mountain but by Li Yan, but could not hide it for a while, and it would be impossible to hide it from someone like Cai Jing forever.
However, Qingzhou City was indeed built by Erlong Mountain.
Therefore, Cai Jing also temporarily recognized Wang Ding's speculation.
Cai Jing said: "You are tired all the way, so go to the inn to rest first. I will deal with this matter."
Wang Ding couldn't help but say again: "Daming Mansion is as dangerous as it is broken, and it will be destroyed every night. If Daming Mansion falls, all counties and counties in Hebei will be in danger. I hope the Grand Master will send troops to eliminate them early!"
Cai Jing said: "No need to say more, I have my own opinions."
Wang Ding did not dare to say more, so he took his leave.
After Wang Ding left, Cai Jing sat there for a while and then asked someone to prepare a sedan chair to go to the Privy Council.
Hearing that Cai Jing had come in person, Gao Qiu hurriedly greeted him and said far away: "The Grand Master has something to do and I will come to my house to obey the orders, how dare I ask the Grand Master to take charge!"
Cai Jing said: "Go in and talk."
Gao Qiu welcomed Cai Jing into the festival hall and attracted a group of officials to visit.
Cai Jing said, "Everyone is free from courtesy." Then, he said directly: "Now, Erlongshan bandits attacked Daming Mansion..."
Cai Jing carefully explained the critical matter of Daming and said, "Taiwei, what good plans do you have? A good general can retreat the bandits to protect the city?"
Gao Qiu said, "It's these two dragons again. I've captured Gaotang City and Qingzhou City in the previous period, so I wanted to wipe it out, but I really don't have the ability to make good generals entrusted this big thing!"
After hearing this, Cai Jing was unhappy, and then glanced around, wanting to find one or two brave generals in person.
No one in the hall dared to look at Cai Jing.
Seeing this, Cai Jing knew that Gao Qiu was not all shirkable.
At this time, an ugly man with curly hair, red beard and eight feet tall, burly shape and said, "Please recommend one person to withdraw the bandit."
Who is this person?
This person's surname is Xuan and famous for winning the foreign generals with a pearl arrow. The prince loved his martial arts and recruited him as a son-in-law. Who would have thought that the princess thought he was ugly and died with a grudge, so he was not allowed to use it. He only became a military and horse envoy, and was nicknamed "Ugly County Horse".
Cai Jing, who was eager to save his daughter and son-in-law, heard Xuanzang's words and asked, "Who is the recommended person for the county horse?"
Xuanzang said: "The recommended person to be the descendant of the third-part-charitable Wu'an King's legitimate faction in the late Han Dynasty. His surname is Guan and famous scenic spots. He is called Dadao Guan Sheng. He is now an inspector of Pudong. He is a military book at a young age, has a profound martial arts skills, and has the courage of thousands of men. If he is a general for worship, he will definitely be able to clear away bandits, destroy madmen, and protect the country and the people!"
Upon hearing that Guan Sheng was a descendant of Guan Yu, Cai Jing immediately said, "Please ask the county horse to leave and ask Guan Sheng to discuss strategies to suppress the thieves."
Xuanzan did not refuse and immediately said goodbye to Cai Jing and went to Pudong to ask Guan Sheng to go to Jing.
Don't talk too much.
When he arrived at the Pudong Inspection Office, Xuanzan was welcomed by his old friend Guan Sheng.
Sitting down.
Guan Sheng asked, "The county horses came here with great care, I don't know what's going on?"
Xuanzan directly explained his purpose: "Now Erlongshan bandits attacked Beijing. Xuan recommended his brother to have a plan to stabilize the country and settle the country to surrender his troops and kill generals. After hearing this, the Grand Master summoned his brother to Beijing to discuss strategies to suppress the thieves. If the elder brother responded properly, he would be able to operate this time!"
After hearing this, Guan Sheng was overjoyed and said, "I will never forget the grace of rebuilding the county horse!"
Seeing Hao Siwen beside him, Guan Sheng said again: "My brother, whose surname is Hao, and his name is Siwen. He is my brother who is worshipped. At the beginning, his mother was reborn in Jing Mufeng, so she was pregnant. Later, she gave birth to him. Therefore, everyone called him "Jing Mufeng". He had all kinds of martial arts skills, so he was called by Mengtai Master to work with me to serve the country. Can it be?"
Xuanzan said: "Great mercy!"
Guan Sheng was a member of Dong Bing. He understood that an army could not be led by one or two people, so he picked out a hundred capable people from his personal soldiers and took them to Beijing to meet Cai Jing.
I rushed to the sky at night, without saying anything, just saying that everyone came to Cai Jing's mansion.
When Cai Jing saw Guan Sheng, he was eight feet tall and five six bodies, with thin willow beards, his eyebrows were on his temples, his phoenix eyes were facing the sky, his face was like heavy dates, and his lips were as red as red, and he felt like he was like a vermilion, and he felt like he was like a traitor. I wonder if there is any good strategy for him to escape the siege?"
Guan Sheng said: "The bandits in Erlong Mountain are not afraid of. What they fear is the dangerous peaks of the mountains. Now they are far away from the mountains to attack Daming Mansion, which is to seek death. If they go to save Beijing, they are afraid that they will be unable to escape and cannot eliminate future troubles. It is better to send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack Erlong Mountain first, force him to return to the rescue, and then ambush them halfway and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Cai Jing praised: "I'm a good plan, this is a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. I will definitely be able to eliminate the stubborn thieves in Erlong Mountain in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, Cai Jing discussed the details of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao with Guan Sheng and Xuan Zan.
After the discussion was made, Cai Jing went to the Privy Council in person and forced Gao Qiu to allocate 5,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry to Guan Sheng, and equipped Guan Sheng with enough armor, horses, food, and supplies, so that Guan Sheng would have no worries.
Everything was ready, so Guan Sheng led a 15,000 army to kill directly towards Erlong Mountain.
Passing by the water-pooling Liangshan, fearing that it would cause misunderstandings to the water-pooling Liangshan, Guan Sheng sent someone to the water-pooling Liangshan to explain the situation, while spending an extra day bypassing the water-pooling Liangshan.
Two points can be seen from this detail:
1. Guan Sheng is careful in his actions and has the potential of some famous generals.
2. Guan Sheng is a man who is good at dealing with things and being an official, not as rebellious as his ancestor Guan Yu.
Shortly after passing by the water of Liangshan, Guan Sheng led his army to the foot of Erlong Mountain.
After sending a sentry to inquire with the locals and sending people to investigate in person, Guan Sheng concluded that as long as there are three or five thousand people on this mountain, it is not something he can capture.
Guan Sheng made up his mind at the moment, just a feint attack, not a real attack, and just waited for the people from Erlong Mountain to return to help. In this way, he could not only relieve the siege of Daming Mansion, but also make great contributions to suppressing the thieves!
