I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"Get up."

Li Wei stretched out his hand to help him up, and comforted him: "Get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say."

When his wife Kong Rong introduced her, she only said that Yi Niang was from Qingchuan and was her childhood best friend, but she didn't say the purpose of her coming here. Li Wei could see that Yiniang had a lot of preoccupations and obviously asked his wife Kong Rong, but Kong Rong It seems that Yi Niang turned to herself after rejecting her request.

Yi Niang begged herself to save her husband?

Li Wei's mind was spinning at high speed, as if he had caught something.

Chapter 79 Wily and calculating

Yiniang's husband, Sikong Jian, was formerly the guard of the Yulin Gate, and he is good friends with He Jin and others. He is the only general in the Qingchuan Provincial Army who holds military power, but is loyal to the old guard Kong Rong.

Since Dalang Lord Kong Su was assassinated and died, the old magistrate Kong Rong died of a sudden illness, and the old lady hanged himself afterwards. Erlang Lord Kong Ning took over Qingchuan and was soon entrusted by Chang'an. Sikong Jian was suspicious and did not immediately declare his allegiance. Then he released his friend privately, and Lu Mingliang, the former head of internal guards in Qingchuan Province, fled, but was thrown into death row by Kong Ning.

Yi Niang spends all her family property and seeks connections everywhere, but no one dares to speak well for Si Kongjian. There is no hope of rescue, so Yi Niang has to come to Jiayue and beg her former best friend Kong Rong to help her talk, but Kong Rong also has her own difficulties. They just agreed to write a letter, urging the second brother Kong Ning not to destroy the Great Wall himself.

It is said that Sikong Jian is also a good general with both civil and military skills?

Li Wei only heard He Jin mention Sikong Jian occasionally, his ability is quite outstanding, the old magistrate Kong Rong valued him, and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the important town of Yulin.

Since he is a talent, of course he has to collect it under his account. Li Wei is short of everything now, and the talent is even more scarce. Is Sikong Jian as capable as He Jin said? The second uncle, Kong Ning, will be beaten up sooner or later, but it's just a matter of beating up sooner or later.

Seeing that Li Wei agreed to rescue the husband, Yiniang was so grateful that she knelt down to thank her. Li Wei quickly helped her up and arranged for her to live in the mansion temporarily.

Both Tian Ce and Wu You agreed to send a special Ye Bushou to rescue Sikong Jian, and also agreed to cause some troubles for Kong Ning, but they firmly disagreed with Kong Ning's falling out now. Attacking Hongfeng Province first is the established grand strategic direction, and I can't bear it Then there will be chaos.

The two military advisers were firmly against it. Li Weizong could only endure it if he was upset. He sent someone to call Meng Hai, the deputy commander of the special special forces, and asked him to prepare to sneak into Qingchuan Province to save people.

Back home, Li Wei was in a bad mood, so he went into the study alone and lay down on the soft chair.

"Master..."

Kong Rong came in with a cup of brewed fragrant tea, put it on the low table beside him, and then moved behind him, kneading his shoulders for him, with a look of anxiety and helplessness on her pretty face.

Li Wei closed his eyes and enjoyed it, patted her palm with his right hand, and said helplessly, "I swore on your elder brother's body, I must find out the murderer and avenge him."

Kong Rong trembled all over, knelt down abruptly, and said sadly: "Master, only the second elder brother is left in the Kong family, Rong'er begs Mr. Xiang..."

Li Wei lifted her up, hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "Your second brother killed your brother and father, and forced your mother to death. It is not in the law. If he lives, he will only harm more people. Well, isn't the Kong family still alive?" You, at worst, the first boy you gave birth to will follow your surname Kong, be good, don’t cry, look at you, how ugly you look when you cry.”

Kong Rong let out a faint sigh. She really wanted to save her second elder brother Kong Ning so as to continue the family's incense, but it was obviously beyond her husband's bottom line. Moreover, the numerous crimes committed by her second elder brother Kong Ning were really heinous. God can't tolerate it.

Hesitating for a while, she clenched her silver teeth, took out a roll of paper, a black iron ring, and two halves of tiger charms from her sleeve, handed them to Li Wei, and said in a low voice: "This is Rong'er." On the day of the wedding, father gave it to Rong'er..."

Li Wei froze for a moment, opened the scroll to read it, and couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face.

The handwriting on the scroll was extremely scribbled, obviously written in a hurry, but it can still be seen that it was written by Kong Rong himself, and many things were explained in it, clearly it was a suicide note for future affairs.

In the letter, Kong Rong told her daughter bluntly that Kong Su died at the hands of Kong Ning. If one day he also died, it would also be at the hands of Kong Ning. She has two choices, one is to keep her own As the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she has since cut off any relationship with the Kong family.

Second, if you want to protect the Kong family, you should try your best to contact Boss Cao of the Caoji Restaurant in the west of the city, and he will arrange a meeting with Lu Mingliang, the commander of the internal guards. As long as you show the iron ring, Lu Mingliang will naturally know what to do.

Kong Rong also specifically confessed in the letter that the two halves of the tiger talisman must be handed over to He Jin and Sikong Jian himself, and the rest of the matter can be left to the two to handle, and the military power must be firmly held in the hands of the provincial government in the future Here, if you don’t understand, ask more questions, Wu Youhejin Sikong Jian, Wen You XX, etc., followed by a string of names, many of them are Qingchuan famous scholars, and it seems that they are all civilian advisers that Kong Rong can trust.

Li Wei will remember now. On the day he married Rong'er, an assassin assassinated him, and his uncle Kong Su was shot dead. Afterwards, Kong Rong, the master of Mount Tai, arrived and seemed to confess something to Kong Rong, and took a small cloth bag Handed it over to Kong Rong.

While lamenting Kong Rong's cunning and scheming, he couldn't help shaking his head, saying that it is up to people to plan things and heaven to make things happen. This is not true at all.

Kong Rongquan had prepared everything for his daughter. If there were no accidents, Kong Rong could indeed rely on the strength of Lu Mingliang, the commander of the internal guards, who was in charge of the Tianjin city defense Li Jun, He Jin, and Sikong Jian, the Zhonglang general who guarded Yulin Pass. It's a pity that Kong Rong, who is gentle and gentle, doesn't have that kind of ambition, and she can't bear to fight each other again, so she hasn't taken any action.

With the support of Chang'an, Kong Ning justifiably sat on the throne of Qingchuan prefect and purged opponents wantonly. Lu Mingliang, the commander of the inner guard, was also on the list of purges. However, he felt that the situation was not good, so he absconded first and did not become Kong Ning The ghost under the knife.

After Kong Ning was firmly seated on the throne of prefect, he began to rule out his differences. Si Kongjian's accountability happened to be used as an excuse by him, so he was arrested and imprisoned, and easily seized the military power of Yulin Pass. After breaking his thigh and staying at home on leave, everything carefully arranged by Kong Rong completely disintegrated unintentionally.

Li Wei put his arms around his wife and comforted him softly, but he was thinking about something in his mind. He Jin has now transferred to his tent, and he will be practicing the Gale Camp for him in Shuanghugang, Qiyun Mountain Range, Hongfeng Province. Lu Mingliang has fled. What happened, Sikong Jian was imprisoned in the death row, his life and death are still uncertain, I don't know if the iron ring can still be used?

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, Li Wei decided to give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not will not affect the rescue of Sikong Jian.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Hai, the deputy commander of the special night squad, set out quietly with [-] subordinates, sneaked into Yulin Pass with various identities, and then sneaked into Pingjin, the capital of Qingchuan Province.

The Caoji Restaurant in the west of the city is easy to find. Meng Hai went in with two of his men, asked for a private room, and asked the restaurant clerk to call the boss Cao Peng and tell him the secret words for contact. Kong Rong wrote these secret words in the letter. They are all written down.

After meeting the secret words, Meng Hai showed the iron ring and asked to meet Lu Mingliang, the former commander of the internal guards.

Boss Cao had a friendly smile on his face, but a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 80 Take refuge

The three of Meng Hai followed Boss Cao into a wing room in the backyard, and an iron fence suddenly fell from the sky, separating them from Boss Cao.

"Boss Cao, what do you mean?"

Even though Meng Hai acted calmly and calculated all the possibilities, his expression changed slightly when he encountered this sudden change.

"What do you mean?"

Boss Cao, who was standing across the iron fence, let out a sneer, raised his voice suddenly, and shouted in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, tell the truth, who are you?"

Meng Hai chuckled, sat down on the chair in the room, raised his legs, and swayed at Boss Cao, as if to say: You are not qualified to know who I am.

Trying this iron ring, which can be said to be invalid, is actually just a gambling mentality embraced by Li Wei and Wu You. They bet that Lu Mingliang would not be willing to give up the glory and wealth he had, and would definitely firmly control all the power in his hands , Looking for a new owner.

Boss Cao snorted coldly, turned and exited, and then came in a tall, thin, fair-skinned, middle-aged man with gloomy eyes.

As soon as he came in, he put his hands behind his back, half-closed his eyes, and looked at the three Meng Hai sitting opposite.

"I am Lu Mingliang."

Lu Mingliang's voice was very slow and lazy, as if he was not interested in anything, but it made people feel nervous and coercive, as if he could see through everything in front of him. Nothing to hide.

"Commander Lu."

Meng Hai stood up and politely bowed his fists. He had seen Lu Mingliang's portrait and recognized it immediately. Moreover, Lu Mingliang's long-standing power was something that ordinary people could not pretend to be.

Lu Mingliang politely returned the salute. He also felt the intimidating aura of Meng Hai. He was by no means an ordinary little fish or shrimp, but he wondered if the boss behind him was the power he expected?

Meng Hai took out the iron plate that represented his identity from his pocket, and handed out the iron railing. All special night bills have an iron plate as an identity mark. One side is engraved with the troop number, personal name, code, and official position, and the other side is engraved with various patterns and patterns. , but for a leader of his level, what he carved was an eagle fluttering its wings under a full moon.

That round of full moon represented Jiayue Province, and the military flag of the Jiayue Provincial Army was based on the full moon, with lions, tigers, eagles and other ferocious beasts, and it also represented the numbers of the troops.

Lu Mingliang played with the iron plate in his hand, a frightening light flashed in his eyes, but an inscrutable smile appeared on his face, "Can Commander Meng be the master?"

Jiayue was his first choice. After all, the old lord's young lady married Young Master Li, and Young Master Li was going to take over Jiayue in the future, so the people from the Confucian family also had a backer.

Meng Hai nodded, and said the conditions given. These conditions were carefully discussed by Li Weitian Ce and Wu You before. The deputy commander of the inner guard has been demoted by one level from his original position, and there are additional conditions for the follow-up. You also need to pass the assessment, depending on the level of your ability, you can choose whether to work at home or abroad.

He was somewhat unable to guess the young master's intentions. Generally speaking, if you want to bribe someone, the conditions offered are one or several levels higher than the current official salary of the other party. Li Wei went the opposite way. Not only did he not give Lu Mingliang an official promotion, but he even demoted him by one level. Isn't it afraid that he will not accept it? "Brother Meng, don't blame me for offending you."

Lu Mingliang opened the iron bars, but still had an unfathomable smile on his face. He is aloof, and the city is extremely deep. If Li Wei's offer is too high or too good, he would still have doubts. Now, he feels that The new lord wants to solicit his sincerity.

"Brother Meng, is there a difference between ordinary and special if you don't accept it tonight?"

Lu Mingliang was rather curious. Meng Hai's troop number indicated on his identity plate was Special Night Bucha. Could it be that there was a distinction between ordinary and special night Bucha? "of course."

Meng Hai said proudly, after intensive special training, the special Ye Bu Shou who has the awareness and skills of special operations is no longer the general Ye Bu Shou in the army to inquire about the enemy's situation. Ten times, the treatment and so on are much higher than that, and they also enjoy certain privileges.

"How to distinguish?"

Lu Mingliang became more and more curious. He seemed to have vaguely captured something in his mind, but it was just a little bit short.

Meng Hai smiled. As long as he takes part in all the intensive special training courses that are not accepted for special nights, he will naturally understand what is not accepted for special nights. It is said that the young master is quite unhappy with the name "special nights not accepted", and he is thinking about changing it to a more powerful one. Scary name.

One side sincerely buys, one side intends to seek refuge, the two hit it off, and the next step is to discuss things openly and honestly.

Lu Mingliang and Sikong Jian, the former Yulin gatekeeper, were good friends. Sikong Jian did not dedicate him to Kong Ning to show his loyalty, which made him feel that he owed Sikong Jian a huge favor. Now, Sikong Jian is in prison. Lu Mingliang is planning an action plan to rob prison and save people.

He was valued by Kong Rong, the old eunuch, and he was the commander of the interior guards of Qingchuan Province. He had many secret agents of the interior guards who even Kong Rong didn't know, lurking in various identities and monitoring the entire Qingchuan Province. There are several of his insiders lurking in the death cell in the city. As long as the arrangement is proper, it should not be difficult to rescue Sikong Jian from prison.

Meng Hai was also ordered to rescue Sikong Jian, and was worrying about how to sneak into the death cell to save others, but now he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The two sides exchanged information. Meng Hai marveled at the astonishing secret power in Lu Mingliang's hands, while Lu Mingliang marveled at the all-pervasive secret spies in Jiayue Province, all lurking under his nose. Foresight and ambition, he couldn't help but be a little thankful for his choice. Of course, he also clearly knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Jiayue, he had to show something, and loyalty was more important.

In the room, the two discussed the specific action plan for robbing the prison and saving people. In order to ensure that the people could be rescued and then withdraw from Pingjin City smoothly, Meng Hai also used the secret agents of the internal guards to spend many years of hard work, secretly digging the road leading to the city. The secret passage outside.

Both of them were worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so they decided to carry out the rescue operation that night. When the manpower was assembled, Lu Mingliang looked at the stuff equipped by Meng Hai and his gang, and couldn't help sighing again. In comparison, his subordinates are simply beggars, they are more infuriating than others.

After nightfall, people who had been busy all day had fallen asleep, and the rescue operation under the command of Lu Mingliang began immediately. There were his own people in the prison acting as internal support, and the operatives easily sneaked into the prison.

Si Kongjian, who was imprisoned in prison, saw Lu Mingliang and even the jade pendant worn by his wife Yi Niang. Without saying a word, he followed Lu Mingliang and others to evacuate.

The operation went smoothly at the beginning, but an accident happened when the prison was withdrawn. Kong Ning's confidantes were ordered to come to the prison and execute Si Kongjian secretly. The sound of killing cut through the silent night, and everyone in Pingjin City was awakened.

Chapter 81 Trapped faction

With Meng Hai's support, Lu Mingliang and the others quickly got rid of the pursuers under the cover of night. They walked through the alleys and alleys, and even used several secret passages to arrive at the designated assembly point.

There was still roaring and killing in the city, and Meng Hai and others hadn't retreated to the designated meeting point. Lu Mingliang made a decisive decision to send Si Kongjian, his subordinates who had been exposed, and their family members out of the city by a secret path.

Half an hour later, the bruised Meng Hai and the other special forces retreated to the designated meeting point. Knowing that Lu Mingliang, Sikong Jian and others had entered the secret passage, he looked back at the place where the fire was burning in the city, and gritted his teeth. , ordered his men to retreat.

In order to attract the pursuers, he had to leave two groups of brothers behind as a cover. As more and more Qingchuan soldiers appeared, the two groups in the rear might be encircled and killed.

However, now is not the time to be sad. They have to go through a narrow tunnel more than a mile long, leave the city, and then ride horses and gallop. Before dawn, they can run as far as they can. The farther they are from Pingjin City, the safer they are. Scouts must be everywhere, checkpoints must be set up on all major traffic arteries, and strict inspections must be made.

At this time, Pingjin City can be said to be in a state of chaos. Soldiers with torches and weapons went from house to house to hunt down the rebels everywhere.

At daybreak, scouts were everywhere, and soon, officers and soldiers from various cities and counties set up checkpoints at various traffic arteries, interrogated passers-by, and took the opportunity to extort and extort, arousing public resentment.

Meng Hai, Lu Mingliang, Sikong Jian and his group walked around the Sanyang Pass, spent a little money to pass through several checkpoints, passed through Jiangping County, crossed the Panlong River, and safely entered the boundary of Jiayue Province.

The news spread to the Jiayue provincial capital early on. In order to show his thirst for talent, Li Wei went out of the city to greet him. Lu Mingliang and Sikong Jian were so moved that they burst into tears and immediately knelt down to swear allegiance.

Li Wei is very happy. Whether Lu Mingliang and Sikong Jian are good people still needs to be tested, but Lu Mingliang controls a lot of inner guard secret agents, covering the entire Qingchuan Province, but it is a secret force that should not be underestimated. It is well used , when beating Kong Ning in the future, it will have an unexpected miraculous effect, and the future is bright.

Li Wei fulfilled his promise and asked the cheap father to designate Lu Mingliang as the deputy commander of the inner guard. The specific tasks have not yet been implemented, because Lu Mingliang has developed a strong interest in the training of special nights. He wants to observe and understand for a while, Li Wei Wei also let him.

Sikong Jian was still named Zhonglang General, but he suffered some torture in prison and needed some time to recuperate. He was not in a hurry to take up the post, but rested at home to recuperate his body.

He is very clear about his current situation. If he wants to enter the core of the Li Group, he must perform well, build up his military exploits, build up his prestige, and gain the approval of Jiayue's military. Fortunately, the attitude of the young master's thirst for talent reassured him a lot, and he had to wait patiently for a chance.

He said he was taking care of his body at home, but Sikong Jian couldn't sit still at all, and ran to the barracks every day. The various innovations Jiayue Province vigorously promoted made him feel a kind of vigorous vitality and hope, and he also felt the young master's vision and vision. Ambition, while Jiayue Province is vigorously developing, the entire war machine is also running quietly. When enough power is accumulated, it will inevitably explode and sweep across the entire empire with a thunderous force.

Does Li Wei have the ambition to sit on the dragon chair? He doesn't want to know. He only knows that in the next few years, there will be opportunities for him to show his abilities. He must grasp it well. At this moment, his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.

After the conquest of the Jin Empire ended, Li Gang and Li Wei did not disband the nearly [-] troops they had formed. On the contrary, they used the excuse that the army suffered heavy losses and needed to be replenished, and recruited another [-] new troops, and concentrated them in the newly built two towns outside the city. Training in a barracks.

Li Wei carefully selected 150 tall, burly, and powerful soldiers from various armies to form a camp, equipped with all heavy armor and a large iron shield, and a length of about 50 centimeters and a weight of 22 catties ( According to historical records, he imitated the Mo Dao of the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely powerful.

In addition to the above-mentioned weapons and equipment, the soldiers of the trapped camp are also equipped with a mule and horse for each person to carry heavy armor and weapons. In addition, they are also specially equipped with 1000 auxiliary soldiers.

The heavy armored infantry equipped with Mo Dao is invincible in field battles, and can also attack fortifications. It is also a great weapon against light cavalry. There are many records in historical materials. This is the second one that Li Wei gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to build. The reason for the elite prodigal army.

Such extravagant and prodigal equipment in the trapped camp made all the senior generals in the Jiayue Provincial Mansion jealous. They recommended themselves one by one, willing to be the leader of the trapped camp. Even Sikong Jian couldn't resist the strong urge to try.

However, he tried his best to restrain himself in the end. He did have a very high prestige in the Qingchuan military, but in the Jiayue military, he can only be regarded as a new outsider. Many generals of Jiayue complained, what qualifications did they have to lead this prodigal army with astonishing combat effectiveness?

In the end, Li Wei's decision shocked everyone's jaws, and the position of leader of the trapped faction finally fell on Sikong Jian's head, knocking him unconscious all of a sudden.

"Ya... Ya Nei, are you... not joking?"

Sikong Jian was stunned for a long time before he stammered and asked, he was indeed dizzy, he couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to him.

Li Wei blinked and said with a smile: "If General Sikong feels that he doesn't have the ability, then I'll consider a new candidate."

"No...it's...uh..."

Sikong Jian waved his hands quickly, he was a little incoherent with excitement, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Jian will live up to the expectations of the Yamen!"

The so-called scholars die for those who know themselves, and the young master's kindness of knowing you is as important as a thousand catties, and he can only repay it with his death.

In the envy of all the generals, big and small, Sikong Jianrong was appointed as the commander of the camp. He trained his subordinates with injuries every day, mingled with them, and integrated as much as possible.

The [-] soldiers in the trapped camp were all elite veterans carefully selected from various armies. In addition to the necessary formation drills and physical training, they directly underwent systematic combat training.

For the heavy equipment of the trapped camp, Li Wei asked those rivers and lakes to simplify and condense the three-style killing skills, and pass them on to the soldiers of the trapped camp. The ultimate move without return is enough to dominate the battlefield.

In fact, heavy infantry can also be said to be an upgraded version of light infantry. The training method is much simpler and easier than that of cavalry, but it is definitely more expensive than ordinary light cavalry.

When Li Wei was busy developing his strength, on Yunding Mountain, thirty miles east of Xijing, the capital of the Jin Empire, two old men, one thin and one fat, were sitting in a gazebo, drinking tea and talking. Among them was the thin old man with a long beard. Fluttering, with a somewhat fairy-like attitude, he was squinting his eyes, looking at the three-edged arrow in his hand.

Chapter 82 "Little Langjun"

Pearl

"You Youyun Valley can't refine such iron?"

The thin old man looked at the fat old man sitting opposite him with a look of surprise on his face.

There is a group of uncontested people living in Youyun Valley. Some of them are today’s celebrities. When their fame is soaring, they suddenly become weary of the world. They live in seclusion in the valley. To practice in Youyun Valley, in short, most of the people living in Youyun Valley are strange people.
