In the post house, Ding Shikui looked at the letter in the room.Halfway, he raised his head and asked, "Are Yan and Zhang back?"
”The entourage saluted and said, "Lord Huiyu, I haven't returned yet!"
”Ding Shikui heard the words, looked out the window, the sky was already dark, and couldn't help but say, "What time?"
”"A moment of unitary time."
The attendant whispered back.Ding Shikui frowned, and said to himself: "Why haven't you come back, can't you talk about it, and you will be detained by Sun Kewang?"
”Then Ding Shikui shook his head again, denying his guess, if Sun Kewang turned his face, he would definitely even be served in the post house, and now the post house is fine, which means that Yan Qiheng and Zhang Jiayu are fine."
Could it be that Sun Kewang was left to eat?"
Ding Shikui couldn't help but close the letter, stood up, and suddenly ordered: "Send someone to inquire, and as soon as there is news, inform the official immediately." ”The attendant immediately saluted, "The lowly duty knows." ”After speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.At this time, the entourage had just come out of the courtyard and walked to the gate, but Yan Qiheng and Zhang Jiayu walked in with flushed faces.Seeing this, the entourage hurriedly turned back and informed Ding Shikui.At that moment, Ding Shikui hurriedly walked out of the room, came to the gate of the courtyard, tidied up his official robe, and hid his two hands in his sleeves to block the door."
Lord Yan, why did you come back?"
Ding Shikui looked at the two of them and frowned.Yan Qiheng smiled slightly, "Speaking of now, please let Master Ding let me go, this official still needs to write an excerpt and play it to the court." ”Ding Shikui's expression changed, "How was the talk?"
”Zhang Jiayu sneered, "I'm afraid I've disappointed Lord Ding!"
”Ding Shikui's face was full of disbelief, "Could it be that you have a good talk?"
How is this possible?
”Yan Qiheng was noncommittal, walked into the room, Zhang Jiayu followed, ignored Ding Shikui, and followed into the room.At this time, Yan Qiheng walked back to the table and sat down, picked up the brush and prepared to write, while Zhang Jiayu closed the door, sat down on the side, and then asked in a deep voice: "My lord, can Your Majesty and the court accept this condition?"
”Yan Qiheng exhaled a turbid breath, "What if you don't agree?"
Since the imperial court did not want to start a war with Sun Kewang, this was the only way to allow Sun Kewang to temporarily borrow Jingzhou to support the Xichuan army to attack Hanzhong from Xunyang, and once Sun Kewang started a war with the Qing army, the threat of the Xichuan army to the imperial court would be immediately reduced by half. ”Zhang Jiayu lowered his head and pondered, and found that if the court did not accept it, he would not return to Jingzhou, so he finally nodded.After a while, Yan Qiheng finished writing a note and changed his words: "Someone!"
”A small flag officer came in to salute, Yan Qiheng handed him the song, and said solemnly: "Hurry up, report to Nanjing!"
”"Whoa!"
Xiaoqi took over the music and immediately hugged his fists.~~~~~~ Huguang, on the official road to the east of Wuchang Mansion, three cavalrymen with small flags on their backs galloped quickly, trampling the ground with horses' hooves, rolling up bursts of yellow dust.At this time, the cavalry galloped wildly, through a wood, suddenly, a tripwire was stretched on the official road, the cavalry led by the cavalry could not dodge, the horse's hooves were tripped, and suddenly the horse lost its front hooves, and the cavalry and the war horse fell to the ground together, rolling forward, startling a piece of dust.Immediately the knight was led into a crowd, and just as he was about to sit up, a group of men and horses came out of the woods, and several spears stabbed at the same time, and the knight was full of astonishment, and did not dare to move.Seeing this, the two cavalrymen in the back were shocked, hurriedly reined in their horses, pulled their horses and ran back, dozens of crossbow arrows "swished" in the forest, and the two cavalrymen fell from their horses and died."
Crossbow!"
The captured cavalry was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
”Many black-clothed people did not answer, the first one stepped forward, touched the chest of the cavalry, took out a note, opened it and looked at it, and said in a cold voice: "Deal with it!"
”A man in black suddenly grabbed the head of the cavalryman from behind, and the sharp knife was pulled on the throat, and blood flew out.Soon, the corpse of the soldier was dragged into the woods and buried, the blood stains on the ground were cleaned up, and the leader of the man in black waved his hand, and everyone led the horses away.…… In April, Jingzhou City.In the military camp outside the city, more than 100,000 Xichuan soldiers are stationed in the wilderness on the north side of the Yangtze River, the neat big tents are one after another, as far as the eye can see, nearly 100 big ships from Bashu down the river are moored on the Yangtze River, the mast is like a forest, it is very spectacular.At this time, it was already the end of April, and the Xichuan soldiers had gathered a large number of military rations and military supplies in Jingzhou, and they were waiting for Sun Kewang's order to pull out the camp and set off.Yan Qiheng's plan, Sun Kewang thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to the proposal to attack Hanzhong.The importance of Hanzhong to Bashu is far greater than that of Jingzhou, and only by taking Hanzhong can Bashu be considered completely safe.At this time, the situation in the world is indeed as Yan Qiheng said, the Manchu Qing family is dominant, and the Ming Dynasty is scattered.Now the alliance of all parties within the Ming Dynasty forced the Manchus not to dare to venture south, and once the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the Manchus would inevitably take advantage of the situation.In the past, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong disturbed the Ming Dynasty, causing the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, and then Zuo Liangyu rebelled eastward, causing the Hongguang Dynasty to collapse rapidly.These two examples are too close to each other, and many people, including Sun Kewang, have experienced them personally, so he has to take them as a warning and be vigilant.Therefore, Sun Kewang agreed to Yan Qiheng's suggestion to attack Hanzhong from Yunyang, obtain the Bashu portal, and also open the entrance to Guanzhong.This was not the internal turmoil of the Ming Dynasty, but the weakening of the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had the interests of the current situation in the world.Of course, Sun Kewang agreed to this policy, but in fact, he had other plans, that is, he wanted it in Hanzhong, and he didn't plan to return it in Jingzhou.At this time, Sun Kewang was already ready, but he was still patiently waiting for the news from Bashu.After all, Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he needs to cooperate with Li Dingguo to have the certainty of attacking Hanzhong.In the early morning, on the edge of the Yangtze River, Sun Kewang stood on a hill and watched the Yangtze River flowing eastward, and his thoughts drifted far away.At this time, a team of cavalry galloped over, and Feng Shuangli hurriedly ran up and saluted: "King, the letter sent by the Sword Pavilion!"
”Sun Kewang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, hurriedly took the letter, unfolded his scanning, and was immediately overjoyed, "Haha......
Dingguo agreed with King Gu's decision that he would send troops as agreed!
”Sun Kewang put away the letter with a flushed face, if the Xichuan soldiers possessed Hanzhong and Jingzhou, he would have the strength to be the emperor.At that moment, Sun Kewang closed the letter and asked, "What is the reaction of the Ming Dynasty?"
”Feng Shuangli said: "Fu Shangrui, the governor of Huguang, has ordered the Ming troops on the periphery of Jingzhou to retreat, and the Ming troops in Yunyang and Xiangyang have also sent us a marching map!"
”Sun Kewang perked up when he heard this, and said with great joy: "Pass the order, convene all the generals to discuss, and the lone king will prepare to send troops, attack Hanzhong in two ways, and then attack Guanlong in the north!"
”Feng Shuangli immediately clenched his fists, "The minister obeys the order!"
