The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 133 One piece of paper, one piece of military power, 'The gangster'

There are still mixed voices in the distant night.

At the foot of an unknown mountain several miles away, there is a two-person high stone cave, illuminated by fire, and a red war horse stands and gnaws grass, flicking its tail. In the cave, an arm covered in armor leaves holds a sheepskin wine bag across the campfire. The light was handed over to the young man in official robes over there.

Geng Qing took a sip, threw it to the two gang members next to him, then turned his head, with a smile from the heart on his face.

"When did you change your name? If I hadn't seen your appearance before, I almost didn't know that the three characters Li Cunxiao were you."

On the other side of the bonfire, the face bathed in the fire blinked his eyes. There was no murderous look before. An Jingsi smiled and untied his bun, let his hair hang down, and wiped the blood with his fingers , while talking about what happened after Feihu County was broken that day.

"When I was a younger brother, I heard my elder brother's words and resisted for a while. Seeing that things must be done, I didn't fight to the death. After being captured by my adoptive father, I didn't feel embarrassed. He saw that I was young and good at martial arts, so he accepted me. made me his adopted son."

Geng Qing nodded. He knew that Li Keyong had a habit of collecting adoptive sons, and he collected quite a lot. From this point of view, he felt that the other party might have some kind of collection habit.
Afterwards, he asked, "Why did you attack the camp for the second time? Are you afraid that you have taken precautions?"

"A group of rebels, Ye Luzi, how can they know so many military strategies?" Li Cunxiao looked outside, in the direction of Qi's barracks, broke off a dead branch and threw it into the fire. Where is the official, obviously he doesn't agree with them, my brother is in their barracks, how can I rest assured, I will naturally kill him by surprise and take my brother away."

Seeing him make a beheading gesture, Geng Qing smiled more happily, but he waved his hand: "Brother Wei can't leave now, when the time comes, Cunxiao still has to go back by himself."

"Why?" On the opposite side, Li Cunxiao frowned, and slapped his big hand on the ground, shaking the ground slightly. The two gang members next to him jumped up from the ground in shock, and subconsciously looked outside, thinking that there was a large group of cavalry again. Charge over.

"There are reasons."

Geng Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, leaned back against the rock, stared at the fire light for a moment, and then told him what happened to him after he came to Chang'an. He said everything in detail, Li Cunxiao opened and closed his mouth slightly, but couldn't close it.

"I know that my encounters are rare, but elder brother's experience is truly unmatched by others. From scratch, from existence to official status, it is really a step by step step by step."

It seemed to be easy to say, but Li Cunxiao knew that every step of the way was frighteningly difficult, he pursed his lips, took a sip from the wine bag, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and stood up suddenly while dragging his armor.

"Brother has gone through hardships, was threatened and worried, so Cunxiao followed you to Chang'an, broke into the palace, dragged the yellow thief out, cut off his head and used it as a chamber pot for brother!"

"Haha. With filial piety, I can rest easy for my brother!"

Over there, Geng Qing recalled the words of a certain character, and casually joked, but if Li Cunxiao really wanted to go to Chang'an with him, this kind of soldiers and horses would not even enter the imperial palace, even those from the outer city would not be able to enter. The status of the side, the authority to lead the troops, and his own hurdles are all difficult to overcome.

Rather than follow me into Chang'an and become a trapped tiger, it is better to let him be an assistant outside.

"Cunxiao, sit down first."

Geng Qing pressed his hands on him, seeing that he was not moving, went over and forced him to sit down, and crossed his legs again beside him, broke off a dead branch and drew it on the muddy ground next to the campfire.

"You can't enter Chang'an with me. However, if you come out for brother, you will naturally have important things to do. It will be more convenient if you are here."

As he spoke, Geng Qing whispered a few words in his ear, and the branches were illuminated by the light of the campfire, and a few lines were drawn on the ground, and the names of people were written on one end of the lines.

"Early tomorrow morning, you will send someone to contact Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy Zheng Tian. Before leaving Chang'an, he fought several games with Huang Chao's generals Shang Rang and Wang Bo. There are many winners and losers. At this time, you can also let him force you Chang'an, and your adoptive father can also force troops to force the Hezhong Mansion, and make a gesture of going south to Chang'an."

"This way we can take down Huangchao?" Li Cunxiao understood the military strategy, and naturally saw the advantages and disadvantages. Obviously, this kind of intimidation method is impossible to win.

"My brother hasn't finished yet."

Geng Qing threw the dead branch in his hand into the fire, sparks from 'crackling' floated away, and he continued: "The drama may be false or true, and then I will pretend to be a defeated soldier and flee to Chang'an, and you will bring the soldiers together." is behind"

When the words came to this point, it gradually became so small that only Li Cunxiao could hear the content clearly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother is still so cunning and intelligent, but what about in the future? When he went out of the city and noticed something was wrong, he would definitely enter Chang'an again."

"The rest of the Jiedu envoys can't get together, so naturally they can't do their best. For the time being, I use this method for the time being, but it's better than nothing." Geng Qing shook his head. The future plan has not yet been announced, so naturally he can't do it. It is convenient to speak out, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, let's close this one first."

The two brothers took one sip from the wine bag, and another sip from me, and they talked about the time when Feihu County was flying, and when they mentioned the things they did back then, they laughed even more happily.

Afterwards, the sky gradually turned bright, Geng Qing looked out of the cave, got up and rubbed his numb legs, it was time to say goodbye.

"Brother, I'll see you off."

Li Cunxiao pulled his horse and followed, and after walking half a mile, Geng Qing told him to go back, "Going further, there are too many people, you and my brother will part here, and act according to the plan made last night."

After finishing speaking, he bowed heavily to the young man in armor and led the horse, and led the gang to turn around and walk towards the direction of the camp. After a long time, the sound of hooves and horses neighing came from behind him.

"Brother!"

Turning around, Geng Qing saw Li Cunxiao standing on a gentle slope with his cape fluttering on his horse. He raised his hands and cupped his fists and shouted: "Take care!"

Immediately turned around, galloped the horse towards the distance, gradually drifting away in the rising sun, Geng Qing watched silently, somewhat reluctantly, and left this side only after he could no longer see.

Because he didn't sleep all night, he was depressed, his body was stained with blood and dirt, Geng Qing looked quite embarrassed, and it was almost noon before he could vaguely see many people walking around in the distance, all of them were in ragged clothes or unkempt, holding weapons in their hands , looking around like a frightened bird, seeing the three of Geng Qing, subconsciously raised their weapons.

"I am the servant of the Ministry of War. I am in charge of the soldiers and horses on this road. Which general's soldiers are you waiting for?"

Hearing this, the terrified soldiers over there put down their weapons and ran over in a hurry, revealing their identities.

Now that I meet Geng Qing, I have the backbone. I cheer up and follow behind on foot. Along the way, there are still many soldiers who ran away. When I returned to the camp, at least 1000 soldiers had gathered around Geng Qing. People are just the previous camps, which have long been empty.

The flag was trampled in the mud, the fence was broken, and many corpses could still be seen
"Everyone, do yourself a favor and dig a hole to bury them. Then... let's go back to Hezhong Mansion to get some supplies and see if we can meet other people."

Looking at the messy barracks, Geng Qing leaned against the fence wearily, and said softly, tiredness and drowsiness swept over him, drowning his consciousness, leaning there, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
