Chapter 62

After leaving the General Mansion of Guide, Xie Ling arrived in Kangyong County after another half day. +++ Catino Novel Network

Kangyong County has now been occupied by the Bai Ding Army, because it is located in the west and borders with Bingzhou, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is mostly mountain roads. There are only three official roads in and out on weekdays. Now these official roads are guarded by the Bai Ding army with blue cloth wrapped around the waist. These white soldiers held iron hoes or axes…Although they were full of vigor, in the eyes of Xie Ling, who had been fighting with Beidi people all the year round (killing sha) at the border, they only felt that these people were really naive.

Such an uprising army, which was piled up purely by numbers, wanted armor without armor, weapons without weapons, and only relied on the courage to fight against the Daye army. It was really a mangy arm.

No wonder the general sent him here specially.

Not to mention the three princes poisoning, even if they don’t poison, if Shentu Xuxin (sexual xing) is fierce enough to order the generals of Suzhou (to kill sha) to come in, these insurgents are just scattered sand.

Xie Ling stopped in front of the official road, looking towards Kangyong County, lost in thought.

Seeing that he hadn’t left, the guarding man took a double axe and took a step forward: “Who are you? Go quickly, don’t stay here!”

Xie Ling saw that although he looked fierce, but did not casually hurt others, his perception improved. Turning to dismount, he arched his hands and said: “My dear Xie Ling, come here to seek refuge, and want to see the leader.”

The big man looked at him suspiciously, and saw that he was alone with a gentle appearance. He hesitated for a moment, then confessed to the brother next to him, and then said to Xie Ling: “You wait, I will ask the leader for instructions.”

The two leaders of the Bai Ding army are brothers. The two brothers beat their little mother. When they were older, their father fell ill again, and he died by taking medicine on weekdays. The boss learned (killing sha) pigs from others and became a butcher. However, the gentler second child has been smart since he was young, and studied with the old gentleman in the village, and he also learned best. This boss relies on (killing sha) pigs to sell (meat rou). Support your father and brother.

Originally, seeing that he wanted to confess his younger brother to test his fame, his father’s body improved a lot, but he caught up with the snow disaster. The family finally survived, but the county magistrate sent people to collect the “fulu tax”, and each family had to send a strong man to repair the tower.

The family is sick and crooked, the young hand has no power to bind the chicken, only the boss can (gan) work, but if the boss is gone, the family’s livelihood will be lost.

There was really no way. The old man asked if he could pay more money, and the people stopped going.

As a result, the collecting officials got used to being domineering. Seeing that the old man was sick and disgusted, he kicked the person away, but unexpectedly the old man (body shen) was not good at all, and he knocked his head again and died on the spot.

The boss who returned home from the stall heard the news. After burying his father, the next day he took hemp rope and the villagers hanged the collection officials at the entrance of the village. The second child is smarter than his brother, and when he sees it (gan gan), he immediately proposed, anyway, the person is also (killing sha), and there is no way to survive. It is better to go back together, maybe you can make a way to survive.

This reaction was followed by more people, and when this came down, there was a scale of nearly 10,000 people.

Because the boss was able to fight and the second was shrewd, other people recognized them as leaders. Now the defenses in Kangyong County and Surabaya are also arranged by the second child.

I heard that a man named Xie Ling came to seek refuge and wanted to meet the leader. The brothers glanced at each other. There were a lot of people who had defected in the past, but not many wanted to see their brothers. Coupled with the news that came back the day before, that the court sent the three princes to lead soldiers to beat them…

The second thought for a moment, and said: “Bring people in, he is the only one, we don’t need to.”

Xie Ling led the horse and followed the previous big man into the territory of Kangyong County.

The houses in the county are well-preserved and there are people living there. When Xie Ling passed by, I saw many people sticking out their heads to look at them. Except for the streets being deserted, nothing has changed much.

The chiefs of the Bai Dingjun live in the county government.

Xie Ling was taken in and saw two young men sitting on the left and right in the hall of the county government office. They are all in their twenties. The tall one looks fierce and easy to provoke, while the short and thin one looks like a scholar. They should be the big leader and the second leader.

Xie Ling stepped forward and introduced himself politely: “Xie Ling, the Yanzhou ginseng general, has met two leaders.”

His voice was about to fall, when the second leader’s face (color) changed, he looked at him in surprise and a little panic: “Yanzhou? But under the command of the King of the Northern War?”

Xie Ling nodded: “Exactly. The general sent me to discuss important matters with the two. I wonder if I can take a step to speak?”

The big boss still (touching Mo) was confused, but he had heard of the sordid name of the Northern Warlord. This **** (killing sha) could not be defeated by a decisive plan, so he subconsciously glanced at his second brother, and he just faced him ( (Laughter) solemnly, he coughed, held back the guards, and took Xie Ling to the study with a straight face.

After reporting their homes, the two were more polite to Xie Ling. Although the king of the Northern Warfare is so fierce and not so good, many people in the north are afraid of him and admire him. After all, he has resisted Beidi and defended Yanzhou with his own power over the past few years. Taiping.

Along the way, Xie Ling observed that they weren’t the ones who were greedy for rights and took the opportunity to make things happen, so he frankly told the three princes’ intention to poison and Xiao Zhige’s plan.

The big chief cursed after hearing this. The second chief was really a scholar, and his stomach curled a little more: “How do we know if what Mr. Xie said is true? After all, you are all serving for the court.”

Xie Ling said, “If the two leaders don’t believe me, I have to go find people and spread the news. This has nothing to do with Yanzhou. It is because the generals couldn’t bear to see the death of nearly ten thousand people. He sent me to do it once. Lobbyists. And the two really think that the Da Ye army is incapable of this, and can’t even beat the mobs outside?”

What he said was a bit ugly, the big boss stopped (gan gan) immediately, and his face (color) was a bit ugly. But the second leader is more calm. He has long thought about this issue, and he has been worrying about it these days.

“General Shentu has a kindhearted heart and pity for the lieutenant soldiers. He couldn’t bear to let the soldiers slaughter his fathers and fellow villagers. He stayed still, not afraid to fight, nor unable to fight.” Xie Ling continued: “If you wait for the three princes to lead the soldiers. When he arrived and gave the order himself, he would have to fight if he didn’t want to fight. By then, Kangyong County would fall, with countless deaths and injuries. Isn’t it against the original intention of the two leaders?”

The face (color) of the two leaders changed for a while, and they had to admit: “Counselor Xie is right. But if we agree to the peace talks, will we be able to keep these fathers and villagers? They are all really forced to survive before they come to us. brothers.”

Xie Ling said: “If the two are willing to cooperate with the plan, the general will fight for the people to survive.”

At this moment, the big leader finally understood what they meant. Seeing that his brother was still hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said: “Our brothers have no relatives and no reason. If they die, they are gone, but they can’t hurt their fathers and villagers.”

Seeing him express his position, the second leader nodded: “We are willing to cooperate. But please thank you, general, not to break your promise.”

The two of them did not fear death, but Xie Linggao watched it for a few minutes. Only then did he hand over the token and identity document that Xiao Zhige had given before leaving, and said: “Everything is going according to the plan. The two first arranged for Taoist priests and beggars to spread the news of the’three princes poisoning’ as soon as possible, and then arranged for the members of the Bai Ding army to find General Shentu to surrender to the peace talks…After all arrangements were made, they would use a new identity document from Bingzhou to West. At the border, someone will meet you and send you to Liangzhou for refuge.”

Xiao Zhige made a two-handed plan, and now the two are willing to cooperate, which is the best result.

After Xie Ling confessed, the sky (color) was already dark. The third prince and his party may return at any time. He shouldn’t stay in Suzhou for a long time. After sending a message to Shentuxu, he quietly rushed back to Yanzhou at night.

***

When the three princes arrived in Suzhou with the army triumphantly, Shen Tuxu personally brought people to greet him.

He lifted the people up with a cordial expression on his face, calling him General Shentu, and his attitude was very friendly and polite. Shen Tuxu looked at his appearance, really unwilling to believe that Xie Ling’s poisoning plan was proposed by the three princes.

The three princes and one (gan gan) were welcomed into the mansion. After a brief greeting, everyone began to talk about business. The three princes sat up high, holding a cup of tea, and the audience expressed their opinions. After a circle of people finished speaking, he calmly said: “Everyone has good ideas, but I have a better way to solve the turmoil. ”

Shen Tuxu looked at his smiling face, and his hair was inexplicably frightened. Next, he listened to the three princes who calmly spoke out the poisoning strategy.

The other generals in the room were unclear, but no one refuted them first. Shen Tuxu gritted his teeth, hesitated for a few breaths, and stood up and said: “His Royal Highness’s strategy is quite good…It’s just…”

The third prince raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

“It’s just that a Taoist priest in the Bai Ding army had already figured out that his Highness would use this plan the day before yesterday. Now not only in the Bai Ding army, but also most of the people in Suzhou know about it. If they still use this plan, I’m afraid they have already taken precautions and responses. …”

“Impossible!” The third prince was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, looking a little gloomy. Except for his father and Dao Chang Liao knew about this strategy, he has never revealed (exposed) anyone else. How could an outsider know?

Shen Tuxu continued to persuade: “Now it has been spread throughout the city, and some children have compiled a ballad to sing, and you can know it just by inquiring.”

The three princes sat back on their seats and said gloomily: “If the poison fails, then the (strong qiang) attack is done. A crowd of mobs is nothing to be afraid of!”

“This…” Shentu Xushen (color) was hesitant again, hesitatingly said: “But the two leaders of the Bai Ding army had heard the news of the dispatch of troops from his Royal Highness, and they had already fled. Last night, the Bai Ding army sent people to surrender to the general and expressed their willingness. submission.”

Three princes: “…”

Staring at Shentuxu angrily, the third prince gritted his teeth and said: “What else, General Shentu might as well say it all at once!”

This time Shen Tuxu answered quickly: “There is nothing else to do.”

Poisoning can’t be done, and fighting can’t be done. The third prince gritted his teeth with hatred but was helpless, so he could only say with a grim look: “I will write back first and ask my father for instructions. This group of chaotic people dares to rebel, and even if they surrender, they must never let it go easily!”

***

Yanzhou.

After Xie Ling rushed back to Yanzhou, he first went to the General’s Mansion to report his life to Xiao Zhige. Xiao Zhige breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, with a smile on his face: “Next, let’s see Master Ji’s ability.”

When Xie Ling thought of his last move, he couldn’t hold back his brows’ joy: “The general’s move is really high. If these people can be brought to Yanzhou, that would be great.”

Yanzhou is vast and sparsely populated, with numerous casualties in wars over the years, and its population has not been abundant. If things develop in accordance with Xiao Zhige’s expectations, and these rebellious “turbulent people” can be exiled to Yanzhou, then it will be a disaster in the snow.

“Let’s wait for the news from Ye Jing, it won’t be too long.” Xiao Zhige looked at him all dressed up and said, “You go back and rest. I will tell the princess the news. He has been worried about this for a few days. ”

Xie Ling knew that this was an order to chase away the guests under the euphemism, and then he left after saluting.

Xiao Zhige strode to find An Changqing.

In the past few days after waiting for the news, An Changqing has not slept well and often has heart palpitations. An Fu boiled Soothing Soup, but he vomited without drinking it. I asked Hu Shifei to get the pulse, but I couldn’t see anything. Xiao Zhige has coaxed him into the middle of the night to force him to sleep for a while.

When looking for the past, An Changqing was reading under the pavilion in the courtyard.

These days it was difficult to sleep at night and was not sleepy during the day. He (gan Gan) simply found out all the books he had read, and read it over and over again to see if there were any records that could help Xiao Zhige.

“Reading again?”

Xiao Zhige sat down beside him and filled his hand with tea.

An Changqing said “Um”, she was a little haggard (color) right now, but she was still in good spirits, and she happily pointed to a place in the book and said, “I’m going to find the prince. Look at this.”

Xiao Zhige took the book and found that it was a miscellaneous story. The paragraph pointed by An Changqing is an interesting story that the author met somewhere.

The author said: One day when I went to Paixian, I met a juggler who put the powder and crushed stones in a bamboo tube, and he could shoot five steps. The technician was careless, added more gunpowder, and injured passers-by with gravel, so he was arrested.

Before this story, An Changqing looked at it with a knowing smile, but now I read it again, but I think it has a lot to do.

Putting gunpowder in a bamboo tube can shoot the gravel out and injure people. If you add more gunpowder and replace the gravel with something else, wouldn’t it be used as a weapon to defend against the enemy?

It’s just that An Changqing didn’t know much about weapon manufacturing in the army, so Xiao Zhige had to look at it first.

Xiao Zhige condensed his eyes after reading this passage for a long time, then suddenly laughed, and grabbed An Changqing’s hand and said, “Here is really my lucky star.”

An Changqing was a little embarrassed, and withdrew her hand, took the book back, and continued reading pretendingly: “What nonsense?”

Xiao Zhige shook his head and said seriously, “Hey, don’t know. When I was studying Taizu’s book, there was a mention of weapons made with gunpowder in the book, but Taizu didn’t have time to develop it when he was in power. People did not inherit the legacy of Taizu. Now An Changqing pointed out that he only remembered this paragraph and felt that he could really try it. Although Taizu was unsuccessful, he might not fail. “If it is really feasible, Yanzhou can have one more. (Kill sha) hand.

Unexpectedly, it would really help, An Changqing’s excited face (color) was a bit ruddy: “Really?”

Xiao Zhige nodded: “Tomorrow I will call the artisans in the army and ask them to study.”

When he finished speaking, he smiled and said: “There is still good news that has not had time to say that the’poisoning’ matter has been resolved. If there is no accident, the nearly 10,000 Bai Dingjun in Surabaya will be’distributed’ to Yanzhou. ”

Rubbing An Changqing’s head with a smile, Xiao Zhi Gewen said: “Next, can I have a good night’s sleep?”

An Changqing’s eyes were gleaming, and when he heard what he said, she murmured unconvincingly: “It’s not all worried about Surabaya, just can’t sleep.”

This topic has been discussed more than once, and in the end there was no discussion about a ugly man. Xiao Zhige wisely stopped entangled in this topic and whispered: “It’s okay, Hu Shifei has made a new grease, and he will definitely make it tonight. Now, get a good night’s sleep.”

An Changqing glared at him, reading with red ears, but cursing inwardly: False seriousness!

The author has something to say: #

Counsel: The new grease works better than lamb oil.
