Chapter 1691: Came in Haste, Died in Silence
After Huertuo Ren was released, she returned to the Chief Secretary's Yamen first, but she didn't expect that the first thing she faced was not the lieutenants and confidants who were anxious to surround her, but a new coach.
This man's name is Ba He, who is also a barbarian and has a Han surname of Li.
The barbarians do not have Han surnames. If they do, it is a name given by a powerful person. This General Ba He is the new general sent by the Queen.
Huertuo's face was ugly, and Bahe was also a little embarrassed.
Ba He had heard of the name Hurtuoren. He was not from the Tingna tribe, but he also knew the fierce female patriarch of the Tingna tribe.
At first, he thought that Huertuo had died, and the news had reached the capital, so the queen sent him to take over the overall situation.
But he had only been here for two days, and Huertuo Ren came back alive. So now, who should these hundreds of thousands of rebels listen to?
Ba He also brought his cronies with him, and he also held the letter of conferment signed by the Queen in his hand. Every general is eager for military power. The four states in the south of the Yangtze River have been defeated by Huertuo Ren. Now that he accepts it, it will undoubtedly be Pie in the sky, success and fame are all in his pocket.
But unfortunately, Huertuo Ren is back again.
He was unwilling to let him go back like this, so he took the letter of sealing and planned to force Huertuo Ren down.
Hultoin's approach was much simpler and more straightforward. That night, she rushed into General Bahe's room with an ax in hand, chopped off his head, and hung it on the big tree in the center of the yard.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone heard the noise and came out. The eleven lieutenants, including Leerlang, all looked at each other in disbelief at Hultuo Ren, who was hanging on the tree with his head tied.
Her body was covered in blood, and her dark eyes were full of savagery.
Leerlan's heart was shaken.
In fact, shortly after the news of Huertuonen's assassination and disappearance reached the capital, Leerlang received a secret letter from the Seventh Prince, which mentioned General Bahe.
Leerlang immediately told Liu Sizuo about the arrival of the new coach, and it was only then that Liu Sizuo began to formally contact Hultonin.
Everyone knew that the arrival of this new coach would break the current structure of the four Jiangnan states. No one wanted him to come, but fortunately, on the same day he came, Liu Sizuo and Huertuo Ren reached an agreement.
In fact, when Leerlang saw Liu Sizuo playing games with Huertonin behind closed doors every day, he mentioned it to the third prince and asked if he should directly tell Huertonin that someone was coming to replace her. With a sense of crisis, she Maybe you are willing to compromise.
But the third prince did not agree. Leerlang didn't understand why at the time. This was obviously a very effective stimulus point that could put pressure on Huertuo Ren.
But now he understands that Huertuo Ren will not compromise because of Ba He, because as long as she can get out alive, she can kill a hundred Ba He.
This is her logic. Anyone who can kill is not a threat. Except for Rong Leng, who she can't kill, she is not afraid of anyone in this world.
Bahe died in the middle of the night without closing his eyes. The next morning, the 20,000 soldiers he brought were dispersed and incorporated into Huertuorin's army.
Bahe came in a hurry and died quietly, as if he had never existed.
At noon the next day, Liu Wei heard the news from Leer Lang. She didn't care and just asked Leer Lang: "Did she give a military order?"
Leerlang nodded: "Let's go, Songzhou 70,000 troops, Nanzhou 60,000 troops, Fengzhou 110,000 troops, a total of 240,000 troops, except for the remaining 10,000 troops in each state, she summoned 210,000 troops , all went to Qingzhou.”
Liu Wei nodded, clasped his fingers on the wooden table, and calculated.
Leerlang asked again: "What do we need to do?"
"You don't need to do it." Liu Wei said casually: "Rong Leng has already done it."
Leerlang asked curiously: "What is our complete plan? What benefit does it bring to us to recruit more than 200,000 troops to Qingzhou? Even if the military burden in the other three states is reduced, we are trapped in Qingzhou and have no ability to do anything. Can't do it."
At this point, Leerlang added: "The Seventh Prince cannot mobilize excess troops to rescue the three states. To mobilize troops from the capital to Jiangnan, they must pass through Qingzhou. Nearly 300,000 troops have gathered in Qingzhou. It is impossible for the soldiers and horses from the capital to pass through." Crossing two rivers."
"I didn't say I wanted Rong Su to send troops." Liu Wei said calmly.
Leerlan asked again: "Is that King Quan? The seventh prince mentioned in his letter that the third prince has a good relationship with King Quan, but regardless of the struggle for imperial power, just talking about this matter, King Quan had no intention from the beginning. Intervene, King Quan is in charge of Liaozhou, Fengzhou is right next to Liaozhou, and the officials in Fengzhou have already taken the lead of King Quan. Isn’t this the acquiescence of King Quan that the queen can take Fengzhou? "
"If it was King Quan's acquiescence, then why would Fengzhou leave 110,000 troops?" Liu Wei retorted: "The more people left in Fengzhou, the more it means they are wary of King Quan."
"Then why has King Quan been silent?" Leerlang didn't know King Quan, but he also knew that he had long been known for wanting to rebel, so he naturally confused him with the queen.
Liu Wei sighed. In fact, she probably guessed what was going on with King Quan. She was originally unwilling to mention it, but now that Leer Lang asked, she just said it bluntly: "He was probably threatened."
Leerlang was stunned: "What?"
"My mother was in Fengzhou before. Fengzhou was occupied and the whole city's rebels were looking for her. She escaped with great difficulty. Although she is safe now, she must have suffered a lot when she was in Fengzhou. ”
Leerlang also participated in the Battle of Fengzhou, but he did not remember this incident: "Who is Lingci?"
"Ji Xiaqiu, have you heard of this name?"
Leer Lang frowned, not impressed.
Liu Wei said: "She is an old friend with King Quan, and she also has grudges with the queen. I think that when Songzhou fell, King Quan probably had already made plans to send troops, but he didn't expect that Huertuo Ren's hands and feet So fast, after Songzhou is Fengzhou. Something happened in Fengzhou, and my mother was missing. King Quan was afraid of disturbing the situation, so he didn't dare to act rashly. But at the same time, in Fengzhou City, as soon as your vanguard army left, the queen sent someone The whole city is searching for my mother. Regardless of whether she caught my mother, she must have hinted to King Quan that my mother's life is in her hands, so King Quan is threatened. "
Leer Lang frowned, not knowing this fate.
Liu Wei frowned: "It is inevitable to contact King Quan. Since the three states in the south of the Yangtze River have withdrawn their troops, once King Quan's men pass, they will be able to defeat the enemy. This is a good thing. But to be honest, my words don't matter, and neither does Rong Leng's. Yes, even if we send a letter to King Quan now, telling him that my mother is fine and asking him to let it go, he will not agree. We have no weight in his heart and cannot see my mother, so he will not help. "
Leerlang asked: "Where is Lingci now?"
"I don't know." Liu Wei exhaled: "Be with my family, probably somewhere between the two rivers, traveling around the mountains and rivers."
Leerlang was shocked: "In this situation, she still goes sightseeing?"
Liu Wei shook her head: "She probably doesn't want to go. Anyway, I can't tell. Now Rong Leng has sent people to look for him. I don't know if he can be found."
