Chapter 176
In the middle of March in the second year of Taichu, it rained lightly.
The drizzle fell from the sky, and it was rainy in the Jianghuai area of the original world. Now the mainland of China seems to have inherited this, and it is normal when the weather is good.
Once it started to rain, it was continuous and lingering.
There were also fewer pedestrians on the street than usual, only some city patrol soldiers occasionally passed by on the street despite the rain.
Several short and fat men braved the rain and came to a restaurant.
"Mr. Li!"
These men had an obvious military atmosphere. When they came to the restaurant, they were led to a private room near the window by Xiaoer. At this time, there was already a middle-aged man in the room.
After several people entered the room, one person was left to lock the door outside, and then closed the door to isolate the noise from the restaurant outside.
"Have you found out all the news I asked you to inquire about?"
The middle-aged man, that is, Mr. Li motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked lightly.
"The situation in Sihong City, we have found out all the news on the surface..."
"A month ago, Wang Jing led his army to go north, and successively annexed Xiao Yuanming and Zhang Lin, and he has tens of thousands more troops! According to my observation, if Wang Jing mobilizes the soldiers and civilians under his command, he can at least pull out an army of [-]!"
One of the men said in a deep voice.
"A [-] army, I'm afraid it's more than that! On the surface, there are almost [-] soldiers. Wang Jing also implemented the guard system, and organized many young and strong captives into guard soldiers. This guard soldier The scale is also tens of thousands!"
Another person shook his head and said.
"This Wang Jing has really become a thing. I heard that a few months ago, he only had more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hands. He didn't expect to expand so fast. If this continues, he will definitely become the king's confidant's trouble!"
These people, including Mr. Li, are envoys sent by King Wu Yang Xingmi.
Among them, the one called Mr. Li is Li Decheng.
He was originally a trustworthy general under Yang Xingmi's command.
It's just that in the history of Yuan World, he once assisted Xu Wen in usurping the power of Southern Wu, and he was called the important minister of Southern Tang.
Because of this, after coming to the world of Shenzhou, Yang Xingmi directly deprived him of his military power.
It's just that Li Decheng was still working hard under Yang Xingmi's command before he came, and he didn't have any other ideas. If he killed him because of historical records.Yang Xingmi is afraid that he will kill more than half of the civil and military generals under his command.
So Yang Xingmi did not kill him, but let Li Decheng turn into a civil servant.He was also asked to act as an envoy to visit the Zhennan General Wang Jing who occupied Sizhou.
Li Decheng also knew from some scribes what he had done in history, but after coming to the world of Shenzhou, he was a courtier of Yang Xingmi instead of a courtier of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
It is impossible for him to abandon Yang Xingmi and go to Xu Wen who does not know where in this troubled world.
Yang Xingmi deprived him of his military power, so he could only obey, let him be an envoy, and he brought people to Sihong.
Li Decheng also sighed in his heart at this time.
As a contemporary general, the reputation of Zhang Lin, the chief general under Gao Pian's command, is like thunder.
I also know Zhang Lin's ability.
In addition to Zhang Lin, there was also Sun Ru who had repeatedly gained the upper hand in back and forth battles with Wu Wang Yang Xingmi... Both of them were actually solved by Wang Jing.
Among them, Sun Ru was beheaded long ago.
This kind of ability to lead troops is still higher than that of King Wu, and it is precisely because Sun Ru and Zhang Lin died and surrendered that after receiving the news, Yang Xingmi became jealous of King Sihong.
Li Decheng had a good guess about his king's thoughts.
If it weren't for the strong enemies on the north and south sides of the king, he would have led the land and water army to march west.
"Besides these, what else did you find out? How about the water army in Sihong? And what's the current situation of Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba?"
Li Decheng asked.
The few people he brought with him were subordinates who were more knowledgeable. They had experience in the army and had official positions in the army.
Apart from a few of them, there were three hundred guards, all of whom were assigned to Anza, the military camp outside the city.
Li Decheng first reported the news to Zhennan General's Mansion, knowing that Zhennan General Wang Jing was in Wanshou at this time, not in Sihong.
Since Wang Jing couldn't meet them for the time being, he went back to the post house first and asked people to inquire about the news in the tea shop and tavern.
Of course, their actions would not be hidden from Shen Yi and the spies of the Military Intelligence Department.
However, Li Decheng didn't think about hiding anything in other people's territory, and asked people to inquire about the news, and they were all inquiring on the surface.As an envoy, it is a normal gesture to inquire about information when you come to another force.
Just like in the later generations of the origin world, the envoys sent to other countries, in addition to reporting news to each other, another task is to collect news from the other country...
This is human nature.
As long as Li Decheng doesn't want to send secret assassinations and collect military and political secrets about Sihong, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others will turn a blind eye.
"The water army in Sihong is about [-]. The general of the water army is Li Jun. It is said that this man was born as a water bandit in the Song Dynasty. He is good at water warfare, so he was reused by Wang Jing."
"As for Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba, they haven't heard any news since they retreated a month ago!"
said a man.
"What we can inquire about is the news on the surface. For example, the movements of Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba should belong to Sihong's secrets, and ordinary people can't get in touch. So we can't inquire..."
What they could find out was all information on Si Hong's face.
The real secret will definitely not be touched.
Li Decheng also understood this in his heart, so he was not disappointed on the face. He stood up and went to the window. From the gap in the window, he could see a person standing on the corner of the street in the distance.
This person didn't hide his figure much, just stood in a hidden place, staring at the restaurant in the rain.
This is the man from Zhennan General's Mansion.
The General's Mansion would certainly not allow these envoys to inquire randomly, so they directly sent people to follow them. This almost superficial follow-up was also a silent warning.
Let them not go too far.
Li Decheng sighed suddenly, "Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that although the population of Sihong City is not as good as that of Qinghe, it does not seem to be as prosperous as Qinghe."
"But Sihong's people's heart and army's heart are in the general's mansion. They are united and thriving! Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba, one is a dead bone in the tomb, and the other is a bandit from the grass army. Are they Wang Jing's opponents?"
"I'm afraid that Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba will be wiped out by Wang Jing in a short time!"
After the forces of Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba are destroyed.There are more than two million people under Wang Jing's rule, and one out of ten can expand an army of 20.
By the time.
Wang Jing wants to expand eastward along the Huaihe River, and the first to bear the brunt is King Wu, Yang Xingmi who occupies Qinghe!
Perhaps, Yang Xingmi saw this, so he was asked to come to Sihong first, in the name of an envoy to inquire about the real situation of Sihong.
I'm going to prepare for the new year's goods. The updates these days are relatively late. I'm very sorry...but there will be no less updates every day.Let's update the chapter first.Another chapter comes later.
