Chapter 306 Counterattack
(Thanks to wtx2002 for the support of the two monthly tickets! The additional update is here. Today's fourth update, Muzi tried his best to write. Do any book friends give me one or two yuan? Please give me a reward!)
Song Wei's general's mansion was very majestic. Two rows of gorgeous door halberds were arranged at the gate, and six large flags were erected in front of the mansion. Six flags were erected in the palace, and two flags were given to him. The halberds were erected in front of the gate. These were all the top signs of power.
The housekeeper returned and invited Li Jing to follow him into the mansion. In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Jing only brought Zhao Jiang and four special forces members by his side, while the rest of them booked an inn and settled temporarily.
Following along the way, the housekeeper finally took Li Jing to a main hall. Li Jing looked at him and saw two flags hanging in front of the hall. The flags were five feet of crimson silk, painted with tigers on pink, one copper dragon, a head wrapped in a red banner, a purple silk as a bag, and an oil sac as a surface. The sections were hung with three wooden plates, several inches apart, and the corners were draped with red numbness, and the rest were the same as the flags.
The flag is dedicated to rewards, and the festival is dedicated to killing.
The flags are the authority of the governor. When rewarding, the flags are raised, and when punishing and killing, the flags are taken out. As soon as he sees these flags and festivals, Li Jing already knows that the lobby here is the festival hall for all the festival coaches. In the Water Margin, the White Tiger Hall that Lin Chong entered is the festival hall. However, a white stone tiger sculpture erected in front of the festival hall. This habit has to start with Zhu Wen, the Emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty, who replaced the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the tiger is still a taboo word for formal occasions and cannot be used randomly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Li Jing immediately felt that dozens of targets in the hall were looking at him. Li Jing just glanced at him in a hurry and saw that most of the masters with these eyes were military generals, each with extraordinary temperament. The other civil servants in robes and blouses were all around fifty years old, and even those in their thirty years old could not see one. He quickly saw an acquaintance, Lei Gang, the judge of the governor who had just separated from Dengzhou last time. Then there was teacher Cui Yunqing, and further up, there were two white-bearded and half-blum-worn men.
Looking at the seats of the two, Li Jing knew it. The person sitting on the left must be the deputy coach Kang Chenghui. The one sitting in the upper head was also looking at him with his eyes, including General Jinwu, Procuratorate Right Pushe, Hou Wuning, General Wusanjie, Zhuguo, and the governor of the Lu Army in Zibo Qingping and Qingzhou.
Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee to Song Weixing: "Li Jing, the commander of the army and horse silence in Daxiezhai Town, pay homage to the commander!"
Song Wei had a serious expression and was not angry. Li Jing knelt there and had already paid homage to him, but he had not let Li Jing get up for a long time. After a while, he nodded. "So you are Li Jing and Li Jiyu. Not bad. Although you are young, you have the spirit of a general. I thought that I dared to ask me for the position of governor of Dengzhou and the envoy of Zhendong Army. Li Sanlang, who was a proud and arrogant person, would be a man of pride and arrogant person. When I saw him today, it was beyond my expectations. Not bad."
Song Wei used two well, and the first impression was really good. Even the other generals were a little surprised. Song Wei was a bit tough and he rarely saw him praise him like this. Especially after Li Jing made some excessive requests.
"I have heard from Judge Lei that you have made the request, the governor of Dengzhou and the military envoy of the Zhendong Army, how dare you make such a request, and how do you think I will agree?"
Li Jing looked up and looked at Song Wei without any fear: "Because the subordinates believed that they could defend Dengzhou well for the generals. As long as the generals handed over Dengzhou to me, I would protect Dengzhou and the generals and subordinates of Dengzhou to obey the commands of the generals more than they are now. Moreover, I can hand over more money and food to the generals than I am now!"
Song Wei just nodded slightly and said, "I promise you, but the premise is that you have to do your best to eradicate Wang Jingwu first."
"The subordinates came for this matter!" Li Jing said. He explained in detail what he found in Bochang City and his guesses and judgments.
After listening, Song Wei and everyone looked unhappy. When they thought about what Li Jing said, they knew what the invitation Wang Jingwu gave them was going on.
"Wang Jingwu set up a Hongmen Banquet for us!" Kang Chenghui said angrily.
Cui Yunqing also took a long breath: "This Wang Jingwu is so sinister. He is going to take action first as Ji Yu said."
The banquet was just after dark. At this time, the sun had already set, and there was only the last little light left between the sky and the earth. In less than half an hour, the sky would be dark. At most, the banquet of the Wang family was about to begin. It is conceivable that the royal mansion must be ambushed with swords and axes, waiting for them to come to the door.
Song Wei was shocked and sweated. He had always felt that Wang Jingwu would never dare to take the lead. If it weren't for Li Jing's reminder, he would have been unable to be wary of it.
"What should I do now?" Kang Chenghui looked at Song Wei. Although he was the deputy commander, Kang Chenghui could be a powerful general, but he was not a wise general, nor a coach. He was able to be the deputy commander because of his loyalty to Song Wei and his prestige and qualifications among Song Wei's subordinates. "We might as well start first, kill directly, and then fight Wang Jingwu first."
"No, it must be too late for our troops to gather now. Wang Jingwu will not only set up a tent in the mansion, but probably he has begun to mobilize his troops." Cui Yunqing shook his head and said. Although they had more than 10,000 soldiers, in fact, there were only three thousand soldiers in the city, as well as three thousand soldiers in the general's office and three thousand soldiers in the city, and the five thousand soldiers in Dengzhou were stationed in the Tuanjie Camp ten miles north of the city. Even most of the six thousand soldiers in this city were in the outer city.
"Ji Yu, where are your troops?"
"When I came, I had already asked the navy to stay in Bochang, and let the remaining five battalions come day and night."
Song Wei frowned in disappointment: "Bochang has been here for 300 miles. It's okay if your small group of people arrives, but most of them will probably not be able to arrive in less than three days."
"In less than three days, the soldiers and horses I brought this time not only had horses, but also all the infantry were equipped with horses, all of which were horses. And considering the ever-changing battlefield, they were specially equipped with twin horses. However, the large army could not match my speed. I guess they would arrive at the earliest tomorrow morning and at the latest at noon tomorrow." Li Jing said. This time, Li Jing paid a lot of money, and the whole army had double horses, which raised the maneuverability of the entire army to the highest level. Moreover, the entire army carried canned food and refined green feed, which avoided the trouble of cooking during the march, and both men and horses could maximize their maneuverability.
"Wang Jingwu won't wait until tomorrow to take action. Now Ji Yu's five thousand soldiers and the five thousand soldiers of Qingzhou Tuanjie Camp are no longer useful." Kang Chenghui sighed.
Lei Gang also looked bitter. He thought this was a great opportunity to deal with Wang Jingwu, but he never expected that Wang Jingwu would attack first. "Not only, today, the city gate has been closed. Not only did the outer city gate lead to the city gate be closed. Even the inner city gate lead to the outer city gate is closed. On the other side of the Zhang Junjun, his three thousand personal guards in the Military Supervisor Academy are stationed in Dongdaying in the outer city."
He went to 10,000 first, and then 3,000. After all, only Song Wei's three thousand personal guards were left in the inner city. However, although these three thousand personal guards were well equipped, they had less than a year of recruitment and training. Only five hundred of them were veterans brought by Song Wei to fight.
This result is even worse than Li Jing expected. He couldn't help saying: "It's better to avoid the edge for the time being. We should contact the commander Zhang Junjun, and then break out of the outer city together, join the guards of the commander Zhang Junjun, and then leave the city and go straight to the Tuanjie Barracks. As long as my troops arrive, there should be no problem. It's not too late to turn back and deal with Wang Jingwu." Although this plan has many loopholes, Li Jing thought about it and had no choice but to fight this way. Keep staying here, and when it gets dark, Wang Jingwu takes action. Li Jing doesn't think that the three thousand personal soldiers can stop the tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingzhou.
"It's too late!" Song Wei's face looked a little ugly. He was a veteran who had been in war. He knew very well about the current situation and knew clearly what would happen next. If he was Wang Jingwu, he would definitely use the convenience of controlling the city defense to isolate the inner and outer cities. Then set up an ambush in the palace, so that he could directly control him, the Jieshi Mansion and other big families in the city, etc. as soon as possible. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Zhang Wanrong immediately became headless and covered with loose sand. At that time, Wang Jingwu could easily defeat each unit and easily control Qingzhou.
Now that I want to run away, it must be too late. The city gates must have been heavily guarded by them at this time.
Li Jing was also spinning his mind quickly. He came here for 300 miles, but he was not here to catch a turtle in a jar.
"Since we can't leave, then we won't leave. I think it's better to come up with a trick and hit the old nest!" Li Jing said fiercely.
Although Song Wei was not panicked at this time, he couldn't think of any good idea for the moment. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say to Li Jing: "What are Ji Yu's good plans? You might as well tell me."
Li Jing gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The so-called wise man will have a loss if he has a thousand thoughts. Wang Jingwu's plan is really good, one by one. He set up a banquet to capture all the people he wants in Qingzhou City. This move is quite vicious. However, there is a loophole in this move." Li Jing smiled and said, "Now we already know Wang Jingwu's plan, then we can counterattack his plan."
"You think we can enter the palace by taking advantage of the opportunity to attend the banquet. At that time, we can take the initiative and take action directly from the Wang family. As long as we capture the thief and capture the king and take Wang Jingwu, do you think, will there be a chance to turn the tables?"
Song Wei's eyes lit up. Although this plan is very risky, there is no other plan at the moment. If he can really take Wang Jingwu, then it is indeed possible to regain the situation. "The military camp of the General's Mansion cannot move, and it must have been under Wang Jingwu's surveillance. If he wants to take Wang Jingwu, it will definitely not work without soldiers. Where can we get another group of people out now?"
Li Jing shouted: "Master, I will lead 200 elite troops under my command to come this time. At this time, I am in an inn not far from the Magistrate's Mansion, and I can call you at any time."
The other generals and officials also spoke out, saying that they could draw dozens or hundreds of servants from the mansion. After this calculation, there were actually two or three thousand people.
Li Jing said: "Each person brings about twenty people to the banquet, and the rest will be allowed to wait in the mansion first. Once we take action, we will set a fire in the palace. At that time, the servants of each mansion will come to reinforce. In addition, we must immediately send someone to contact the military envoy Zhang and the military camp of the General's Mansion, so that they can also take action together and meet up with the palace. As long as we hold on to Wang Jingwu and hold on for another night, things will be successful."
"There is also the Unity Camp outside the city. We have to find a way to inform them and let them come. There is no need to really attack the city. Just fire more torches under the city and say that I have led the Dengzhou soldiers to arrive. That will also restrain some of the troops under Wang Jingwu. Only when our army arrives tomorrow will we be able to attack."
This plan was found out in a hurry, and there were many loopholes, but time was tight, and there was no time to think about it. No one asked what to do if Wang Jingwu could not be caught, and for example, what would happen if Wang Jingwu was not allowed to take it in? At this time, there was no time at all but thinking about these details, so I could only adapt to the situation at the moment.
After everyone returned home, Song Wei said to Li Jing: "Ji Yu, if someone asks about your identity later, you will say that you are my nephew, named Song Yu, Song Sanlang." Li Jing nodded, and only Song Wei and Li Jing, Cui Yunqing, Kang Chenghui, Lei Gang and others were all left in the hall to make arrangements. After a while of silence, Song Wei suddenly turned his head and patted Li Jing on the shoulder, and said: "If this matter can be successful, there will be no problem with the position of governor of Dengzhou, the military magistrate of the Zhendong Army and the military envoy you requested."
"Don't worry, handsome man, Wang Jingwu can't make trouble, and it's even more impossible to succeed!" Li Jing said calmly.
