Chapter 613 Li Jing's Assassination
Gao Bufan looked around the counselors and generals without talking nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "I rush to Luoyang to attack the rebel Li Mi, but now the emperor has been killed by the rebel minister Yu Wen and he has received news a few days ago that Yu Wen and he is leading 100,000 rebels to try to return to the capital. Do you think how should I deal with it?"
Almost everyone present was secretly happy and wanted to say thank you to Yu Wenhua and his face, because Yang Guang was the legal monarch of this country. As long as he was still alive, the world still had a master in name. Now, Yu Wenhua and the spirit of "helping others" are willing to risk the world's tyranny, bear the infamy and take on this dirty work, and cut off Yang Guang. From then on, this country has truly become a masterless country, so that all the heroes in the world can completely let go of their hands and feet to work.
You say thank you to Yu Culture and such "good people".
Of course, the "gratitude" to Yu Wenji can only be buried in his heart. He still has to scold him as a traitor who is a traitor who is a rebellious, a rebellion who has no king or father, and scolds everyone for being punished.
Let’s talk about the crowd scolding Yu Wenhua and a little while, Du Ruhui coughed lightly and entered the main topic: “Your Highness, the subordinates thought that they should suspend their troops in Luoyang to watch the changes.”
Gao Bufan nodded and said, "What's the reason?"
Du Ruhui replied: "Yu Wenhua and led 100,000 Xiaoguo Army to the west (Chang'an), and they must pass through the eastern capital Luoyang on the way, and they will definitely fight with Li Mi at that time."
Changsun Wuji nodded and added: "Yes, the Xiaoguo Army has a strong combat power, and he is eager to return home. If we fight with the two tigers of the Wagang Army, we will definitely suffer one injury. If we get involved at this time, we may be attacked from both sides. It is better to keep the troops and watch the tiger fight in the mountains, wait for Yu Wen and Li Mi to decide the outcome, and then take action to win the fisherman's advantage."
Xu Shiji nodded and said lightly: "This is a good idea. I will discuss it with you. However, at that time, those who sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight will not be afraid that we will not only be the only ones. King Changle (Dou Jiande) will get the moon first when he is close to the water and will definitely take advantage of us."
Everyone looked at Gao Bufan at the same time. The rear of Youzhou was not stable before, and the territory of Youzhou was expanded too quickly, so it took time to digest, so they temporarily signed an alliance with Dou Jiande and lived in peace with each other. However, now Yingzhou has taken over and the newly acquired territory has been basically digested steadily. Then Dou Jiande has become a stumbling block to the development of Qi, because Dou Jiande's territory blocked the pace of Qi's expansion to the south. Now, if Qi wants to continue to expand, he can only cross the Taihang Mountains west and attack the counties in Hedong.
Therefore, now the people under Gao Bufan are more inclined to abolish the alliance and snatch Dou Jiande's territory, so that Qi can continue to develop southward. However, the King of Qi at least married Dou Jiande's precious daughter, and abolishing the alliance is undoubtedly a traitor. First of all, it is untenable in morality. If the reputation is not upright, it will be dissatisfied. In the future, the reputation of the King of Qi will become bad.
Therefore, no one dared to make suggestions to Gao Bufan to abolish the alliance with Dou Jiande. In fact, Gao Bufan himself knew it well, but he just didn't say it. Now Xu Shiji's words undoubtedly pointed out the problem in a concealed manner, so everyone was a little nervous, looking at Gao Bufan, waiting for his statement.
Gao Bufan said calmly: "Shiji's words are not unreasonable. Since that's the case, why not find a way to get King Changle in and let them fight with the three tigers?"
Everyone couldn't help but look happy when they heard this, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was worried that Gao Bufan would be emotional, but now seeing that he was so rational, he was not embarrassed to "plan" his father-in-law, so he naturally felt relieved.
Since the King of Qi has expressed his opinion that he is not "spoiling" his father-in-law, everyone has no scruples and speaks freely, how to drag Dou Jiande into the water, while Gao Bufan listens calmly to everyone discussing how to plot against his father-in-law.
It’s not that Gao Bufan is selfish and ruthless. It is really a matter of life and death that fighting for the world is a matter of life and death. It involves too many and broad interests. It is not something that can be given up at will. If he does this, his subordinates will probably immediately be disloyal and may even turn the gun to rebel.
Therefore, you must not hesitate at this time, nor should you be favored by personal feelings. Do whatever you should do. Everything is the most important thing to put the interests of the owners of the group first. As for Lao Dou, giving him a decent and comfortable old age in the future is the best result. I believe the stitch will understand him.
After a heated discussion, everyone finally made a plan and decided to continue to station troops in Gaoyang County and watch the changes. At the same time, they sent Xu Shiji to station troops in Zhaojun and Lu Sheng to Hejian County, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. After Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande fought to the death, they would suddenly take action to seize the fruits.
After the meeting was over, everyone dispersed and did their own things. Gao Bufan stepped out of the Central Army Commander's tent.
It is already mid-February, the weather is getting warmer, spring returns to the earth, the distant mountains and nearby trees, and the eyes are green.
Although the spring is bright and the warm wind blows on his face, it is very pleasant, but Gao Bufan still can't help but feel a little worried, because until now, Qingruo has not appeared and has not sent anyone to contact him, as if the stone has sunk to the sea. Has he encountered an unexpected situation?
At this time, a fast horse galloped from north to south and rushed to the front of the Qi army camp. The knight immediately had a small purple flag on his back. When the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw it, they immediately opened the door and let it go.
The knight almost stopped and rushed to the central army's tent and whispered: "Anti-report!"
Gao Bufan felt a sudden heart, and he felt a little uneasy. The purple flag represents the Qi Palace, which means that the urgent report was sent by Wei Zheng from the Zhuo County Base Camp.
At this time, the knight had already rolled off his horse, and rushed to Gao Bufan in two steps in three steps and knelt down on one knee, panting, saying: "Report to His Highness, the Right Guard General Li Jing was injured when he was attacked and was trapped in Feihu Ridge. Please let His Highness, the King of Qi decide!"
Gao Bufan was shocked. His second brother Li Jing was defeated. He hurriedly took the urgent report from the messenger, tore off the sealing paint and opened it, and his face changed immediately.
This urgent report was written by Wei Zheng, which roughly explained the story. It turned out that the second brother Li Jing was not defeated in the battle, but was assassinated and injured. He seemed to be seriously injured and had to retreat to Feihu Ridge.
Speaking of which, at the end of last year, when he learned that Li Tang was in a hurry to attack, Gao Bufan discussed with his ministers and decided to take the opportunity to seek Yanmen County to contain Li Tang.
Since it was necessary to cross the Taihang Mountains to attack Yanmen County, the preliminary preparations were relatively complicated. Li Jing prepared for three months. Half a month ago, he finally sent troops from Yi County in Shanggu County. He crossed Taihang Mountains through Puyin Xing, one of the eight passes of Taihang, and successfully occupied the place. He then quickly advanced and tried to take the Lingqiu County of Yanmen County as a stronghold. However, at this time, Li Jing was assassinated and seriously injured. He had to retreat to Feihu Mountain to seize the dangerous guards, and sent an urgent report to Feihu Mountain to report back to Jixian County.
"Who did it?" Gao Bufan's sword eyebrows couldn't help but frowned. The second brother's martial arts skills were not weak, and the personal soldiers around him were not a good-looking lamp. They were actually stabbed and seriously injured by the other party. It can be seen that this assassin was very good. Moreover, assassinating the second brother at this critical moment was clearly to prevent the second brother from attacking Yanmen County.
