A knife in love

Chapter 2804
At this moment, five or six cavalry stepped out from the army formation of officers and soldiers on the other side of the river. The leader was wearing a helmet and armor, sitting upright on a horse, looking very mighty.I saw him riding a tall horse slowly to the bank, then reined in his mount, and said loudly to the south bank: "Brother Luxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. I heard that there are thieves in Liaodong who are planning to do something wrong, so I came here to help. It's just that the incident happened in a hurry, and I didn't inform Brother Lu Xuan in advance, and I hope that Brother Lu Xuan will not blame the brother for being abrupt. Haha, haha."

When Wang Xiaoyu heard the general calling him "Brother Lu Xuan" by name, he felt quite strange, thinking that we have never heard of anyone named Lu Xuan among us, could it be that this general knew Zhang Gui's subordinates? A certain military academy, is this just a roll call?

When Wang Xiaoyu was thinking about it, he saw Zhang Gui riding out more and more people, and when he reached the edge of the river bank, he reined in his horse, smiled, and said, "Old Feng, why are you so polite to Zhang? Don't talk about your trip. Even if you sent troops from Shanhaiguan to flatten the Liaoyang Mansion, Zhang would not dare to say a word. Now that everyone has met, there is no need to talk about politeness. You sent to the big The soldiers and horses in Linghe were brought by Lao Huang?!"

Just as Zhang Gui finished speaking, he saw another horse riding out from behind the opposite general.Immediately, the man was wearing a soaring helmet and iron armor, holding a long spear upside down in his right hand, urged his mount to the edge of the river bank, and said to Zhang Gui: "My younger brother, see Brother Zhang. With the armor on, my younger brother will not ask Zhang Gui." Eldest brother salutes, but I hope elder brother Zhang will forgive me. Brother Zhang is right. The leader of the officers and soldiers stationed at Daling River is indeed younger brother. It’s just that younger brother led the troops to Daling River, not Brother Feng’s. My idea. It’s really the teacher, the old man, who is worried that something big will happen outside the pass. Although Big Brother Zhang is brave and invincible, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Then I ordered my younger brother to take a troop and horses to leave the customs quietly and cross the Daling River to station. If something happens, I can rush to Liaoyang Mansion to help Brother Zhang. This matter is extremely confidential, my younger brother is afraid that the news will be leaked, so I dare not go to Liaoyang Mansion Greetings to Brother Zhang, and please don't blame Brother Zhang!"

Wang Xiaoyu listened to the three people talking, the more he listened, the more confused he became. He thought to himself that these three guys called each other brothers, but looking at Zhang Gui's appearance, he looked like a rooster that only wanted to fight. Obviously discord.Also, the person surnamed Feng was clearly going to talk to 'Lu Xuan', why did Zhang Gui jump out by himself?

Li Qiufeng listened to Zhang Gui and the two armored generals on the other side of the river, corroborating this matter with the situation when he eavesdropped on Liu Kang and the military officers of Shanhaiguan and other military officers in Yong'an City, and suddenly realized in his heart .That day, Liu Kang told the generals of Shanhai Pass, the General Soldier, that although it is a bitterly cold place outside the pass, if there is a loss, Daming loses the geographical advantage, it is like a broken arm, and there will be great disasters.Zhang Gui sits in Liaoyang and is in charge of various guards outside the pass. He not only has to guard against harassment from the Tartars going south, but also kills the bandits in the green forest outside the pass. His responsibilities are extremely heavy.Once Zhang Gui made a mistake, not only would he have his family ransacked and his family wiped out, even though Liu Kang, who recommended Zhang Gui, was resigned, his political opponents in the court would never let him go.If these officials overthrow Liu Kang, many students under Liu Kang who are officials in the imperial court and in the local area will definitely be implicated, and most of them will be uprooted.Because of love and reason, public and private, Liu Kang and his students are already one body, one prospers and one loses, and they must not sit back and watch Zhang Gui fall into trouble.With Liu Kang's eyes and ears, it is impossible to be ignorant of the situation outside the pass.In order to be safe, he will order the Shanhaiguan General Soldier and others to help Zhang Gui, lest he cause a big disaster outside the customs.

The Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages. After returning to Shanhaiguan, he immediately dispatched troops and generals to take precautions.I remember that the surname of the general in Shanhaiguan is Feng Mingyanqing, and the general surnamed Huang is probably Huang Ze, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan.According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, without the writing of the Ministry of War, the deliberation of the cabinet, and the imperial approval of the emperor, arbitrarily mobilizing troops and horses to leave the training ground without authorization is a crime of conspiracy.Outside Shanhaiguan is the area under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong General Army. The Shanhaiguan General Army did not get the defense of the Ministry of War, and sent troops out of the customs privately.So Feng Yanqing sent Huang Ze to lead a troop out of customs to Dalinghe, it was a very secret matter, naturally Zhang Gui couldn't be told.When Jin Yiwei, who was rushing to report to the capital, was passing through Shanhaiguan, Feng Yanqing learned that Japanese pirates had appeared in Dongliao County, and immediately sent a fast horse to inform Huang Ze that he was going south.

It's just that Feng Yanqing is also a scheming person, so how can he go out of the customs to attack Japanese pirates in vain?If he led his soldiers and horses to join forces with Zhang Gui regardless, and went south to confront the Japanese pirates, even if he won a complete victory, Zhang Gui would only be responsible for the great success, and he would not get much benefit.It is better to let Zhang Gui fight the Japanese pirates to the death first, and he himself leads the army to hide near Motianling and wait for an opportunity.Until Zhang Gui and the Japanese pirates lost both sides, Feng Yanqing led the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan to fight out suddenly, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.Therefore, after the Japanese pirates landed, they immediately launched a massive attack. Two to three thousand officers, soldiers, policemen, and volunteers in Dongliao County, and more than 2000 green forest thieves led by Jin Yulou were killed and injured. Feng Yanqing always forbeared and refused to send troops to rescue.It wasn't until Zhang Gui ordered the barbarians to fight and defeat the Japanese pirates all the way to the beach to confront the Japanese pirates, and then Feng Yanqing led the army to show up.In this way, even if Zhang Gui lost his troops and lost his generals, even if he defeated the Japanese pirates, at most his merits and demerits would be offset.And if Feng Yanqing succeeds in the first battle, he will definitely win the favor of the emperor.This person's behavior is the same as Zhang Gui's previous evil deed of sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight.As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. Zhang Gui thought he had a plan, but Feng Yanqing tricked him again.These students under Uncle Liu's school are thoughtful people, all of them are ruthless and ruthless, and one must be extremely careful when dealing with them.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, Zhang Gui laughed and said: "Old Huang, when you were doing guerrillas under Zhang's tent, you didn't have such scheming. I didn't expect to climb the high branch of Lao Feng. Talking and doing things are quite different from before. This time I went south to Liaodong and beat off the Japanese pirates. Lao Feng is bound to be promoted and will go to the capital to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. The throne of Shanhaiguan General Soldier he left behind will naturally be yours, Lao Huang! "

Huang Ze shook his head, and said: "Brother Zhang is not right. The Japanese pirates are still there, and the victory or defeat is uncertain. How can we say that we are done? Even if we can defeat the Japanese pirates in the end, the credit is due to Brother Feng and Big brother Zhang, younger brother, but the two big brothers follow the lead, and absolutely dare not have the slightest delusions, just don't worry, big brother Zhang."

As soon as Huang Ze finished speaking, Feng Yanqing interjected: "The situation is critical now, we don't need to be polite. Brother Lu Xuan, please restrain your brothers to retreat a few feet, so that we can build a bridge over the river and cross the river to fight the Japanese pirates to the death. !"
