Turbulent Times Chapter 1525: Cheng Yaojin’s first mission

"My lord, Li Mi did not go to Wagang Village, but to Luokou City." Shen Guoer reported to Wang Junlin in the camp of the Far East Army.

Wang Junlin frowned slightly and said: "Li Mi can become one of the most powerful heroes in the world, leading many heroes in Wagang. He heard some news, and he was wary of Wagang Zongzhai."

Shen Guoer hurriedly said: "My lord, I will arrange it now and thoroughly investigate everyone involved in this plan to see who leaked the news."

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily that there are spies among us, but it's also possible that someone was not careful enough and was discovered by the enemy."

Pause for a moment, then he asked puzzledly, "It's just why Li Mi chose to go to Luokou City?"

Cheng Yaojin on the side suddenly said: "My lord, my subordinates know about this."

Wang Junlin glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who had been punished by Nie Xiaoyu, nodded, and said with a smile, "Cheng Yaojin, tell me in detail."

This is the first time Cheng Yaojin has spoken at such a meeting since he formally took refuge in Wang Junlin. Mobilize tens of thousands of people to expand the Luokou Cangbao by five or six times, and build it into Luokou City. According to Li Mi's intention, this will become the capital of the Wagang Army, but this matter has not yet been mentioned. However, Li Mi had already dispatched his confidant general Ma Xinggang to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to garrison the city and hoard a large amount of food."

Wang Junlin nodded slightly when he heard the words, expressing his satisfaction, his face suddenly changed, he nodded and said: "No wonder Li Mi wants to come here."

Pause, he looked at Cheng Yaojin appreciatively, and said: "About Li Mi and Zhai Rang, tell us what else you know, it's related to our next strategic plan."

"Your subordinates obey!" Encouraged by Wang Junlin, Cheng Yaojin lifted his spirits, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, about half a year ago, Li Mi and Zhai Rang were still as close as brothers on the surface, but behind the scenes the two People have already begun to compete secretly, competing for military strength, cultivating direct heirs, and controlling food and military resources. That is, from that time on, Li Mi has become the leader of the Wagang Army in military affairs, and Zhai Rang is only a deputy general. In terms of internal affairs, Zhai Rang holds great power, and Zhai Rang is the leader of the Wagang Army in name.”

Wang Junlin asked thoughtfully: "Cheng Yaojin, as far as I know, Zhai Rangyi thought that Li Mi was the real son of heaven, and he was willing to assist Li Mi to be the emperor at the beginning. Why did there suddenly appear conflicts? And the conflict has intensified to such an extent?"

Cheng Yaojin felt the scrutiny of Wang Junlin's eyes, his heart froze, he pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, from the humble point of view, this is like two brothers who have separated but still live together. After a long time, there will inevitably be some stumbling problems. Of course, the two of them are not as simple as brothers and families. The wealth under their control has increased sharply, and their desires for power, wealth, and fame have also continued to increase. In addition, their understanding of some key issues is completely different. He is destined to be the son of heaven, but Zhai Rang's character is destined to make him impossible to be an obedient minister. Even if he makes Li Mi the emperor, he also wants to be a side-by-side prince. hands, that's why the conflict between them is getting more and more intensified."

After a pause, Cheng Yaojin said again: "In addition, there is another person who is also the reason for the rapid intensification of the conflict between the two of them."

Wang Junlin looked interested and asked, "Who is it?"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "This person is Zhai Hong, Zhai Rang's brother."

"Zhai Hong? What did this person do?" Wang Junlin was a little surprised, because he had never heard of this person, nor had he heard Nie Xiaoyu mention it. It seems that he is not an important person in history, but history Records may not be accurate for various reasons.

Cheng Yaojin said with contempt and sarcasm, "My lord, this Zhai Hong is an extremely greedy and lustful person. Hong also didn't have any skills, because he was the veteran of the army and the brother of the commander, he became the second person under Zhai Rang, robbed the women of the people in Xingyang County, searched for money, occupied the fertile land, and did all kinds of evil. Going against the grain, Li Mi talked to Zhai Rang several times about this matter, and wanted to punish Zhai Hong, but he was suppressed by Zhai Rang. The most important thing is that Zhai Hong also had several relatives of Li Mi's civilian officials It was robbed, but because of Zhai Rang's asylum, Zhai Hong has never been punished. Because of this, Li Mi is very embarrassed in front of the civilian officials."

Wang Junlin was thoughtful and asked, "Zhai Rang is limited by his experience and knowledge. Although his vision is a little narrow, his mental ability is not weak. It stands to reason that it is impossible to indulge and protect Zhai Hong like this. What is going on here? Isn't there something hidden?"

Cheng Yaojin said with sincerity and admiration: "My lord is wise, there is indeed a reason for this."

Wang Junlin glanced at Cheng Yaojin with a smile that was not a smile, thinking that this guy has a very high level of flattery, and his expression is just right. Tang, who has always stood tall and been liked by the lord, is certainly related to his own ability, but it also has a lot to do with his smooth personality.

Wang Junlin's gaze made Cheng Yaojin feel so guilty, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said hastily: "My lord, this is because Zhai Hong was originally a local wealthy family with tens of thousands of acres of land and a lot of money, but Zhai Hong After letting the incident become a traitor, Zhai Hong was implicated and arrested by the government. Except for Zhai Hong who escaped, the other hundred members of his family were all arrested by the government and tortured to death. Later, Zhai Hong brought his own family property After taking refuge in Zhai Rang, he gave his property to Zhai Rang to recruit soldiers and horses. In short, in Zhai Rang's heart, he owed Zhai Hong a great brother, so he indulged Zhai Hong so much."

Wang Junlin nodded, pondered for a while, his heart moved, looked at Cheng Yaojin, and said: "Cheng Yaojin, I have one thing. Although it is not a narrow escape, it is also dangerous. I will leave it to you to complete it. Would you like to do it?" ?”

Cheng Yaojin nodded without hesitation and said: "My lord, please tell me, I am willing."

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed brightly, and said: "The Xingyang County where Zhai Hong is located is close to Luokou City where Li Mi is at this time, you go to Xingyang County, Military Intelligence Office, Wulin Guild, Xiaoyu Theater and all of us All the people there can cooperate with you, and I will let the worm demon lead a team of masters to act as your guards. I don't care what method you use, as long as Zhai Hong falls into Li Mi's hands, but you can't let Li Mi kill him immediately. Zhai Hong.”

Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a while, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task, my lord is waiting for the good news from my humble official."

……

……

After Cheng Yaojin arrived in Xingyang County, he pretended to lead some remnant soldiers to flee here, followed by people from the Military Intelligence Office who pretended to be chasing soldiers and were rescued by Zhai Hong's men.

In fact, there are many loopholes in this matter, because the news that Cheng Yaojin has taken refuge in Wang Junlin has spread long ago, but Cheng Yaojin's greatest skill is not to command troops to fight, but to talk to people, Hell talk shit.

In addition, his popularity in the Wagang Army is better than anyone else, Zhai Hong has a good relationship with him, and some of the generals under Zhai Hong have a very good relationship with him, so in the With the joint efforts of Cheng Yaojin's three-inch tongue and connections, he easily gained the trust of Zhai Rang, making Zhai Rang think that he had not surrendered to the Far Eastern Army at all. Rumors of Jin's back road.

That night, Zhai Hong gave Cheng Yaojin a clean-up. After all, the latter was the fourth person in the Wagang Army after Xu Shiji, and he was the deputy commander of the dignified Wagang Army.

Zhai Hong set up a cleansing banquet in his mansion, invited several generals under his command to drink with him and Cheng Yaojin, and called out a few beautiful concubines snatched from nowhere to accompany them. Humming beauty, drinking and punching, noisy and lively, drinking until one o'clock, Zhai Hong was already seven points drunk.

Among these subordinates, there is a general named Yang Hongtao, who has a good relationship with Cheng Yaojin himself, and after Cheng Yaojin arrived in Xingyang County, the people from the Military Intelligence Office told him that he could completely trust Yang Hongtao.

Cheng Yaojin was shocked, and immediately understood that this person was the secret son of the Far East Army. He couldn't help wondering if there were any generals in the Wagang Army who were the secret son of the Wagang Army.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin saw that Di Hong was almost drunk and the atmosphere of the scene was just right, so he gave Yang Hongtao a wink, and the latter smiled at Di Hong: "Mr. Di, I have something to ask. I beg, I wonder if Duke Zhai can help me, and my subordinates swear allegiance to Duke Zhai to the death?"

Zhai Hong is very satisfied with Yang Hongtao's attitude, especially in front of Cheng Yaojin. If you do it, you will definitely help your brother.”

Yang Hongtao immediately said: "Mr. Zhai, the thing is like this. I have a brother-in-law named Liu Guangming, who is the captain of my tent. A few days ago, he saw a woman he liked on the street, so he went to strike up a conversation and wanted to marry her. In the end, this girl was arrested by Li Mi's patrolling soldiers, she said she was molesting a commoner girl, and she was taken to Luokou City, can Mr. Zhai intercede for me and let Li Mi release her."

Zhai Hong was very happy when Yang Hongtao called Li Mi by his name. At this time, he said angrily: "What! That **** Li Mi dared to arrest people on Lao Tzu's territory. It's against the sky. Brother Yang, don't worry, I will send someone tomorrow Luokou City, if he wants people back, he dare not let them go, and he will never want to cross the border through Xingyang in the future."

When Li Mi was mentioned, Zhai Hong suddenly remembered an annoyed matter. He slammed the wine bowl on the table and scolded: "His grandma, my brother didn't know if his head was caught by the door. The **** Li Mi insisted on being the emperor, and the **** Li Mi pretended to refuse to let my brother be the emperor, but my brother refused. If he doesn't want to be the emperor, then let me do it well, and let me try to do it too The taste of the emperor, now that **** Li Mi is becoming more and more powerful in the Wagang Army, he really deserves the emperor, and now he has been defeated by the Far Eastern Army again and again, in my opinion, Cheng can not be blamed for losing to the Far Eastern Army this time Both the deputy manager and the chief manager Xu are under the command of Li Mi blindly."

Cheng Yaojin and Yang Hongtao said at the right time: "Mr. Zhai is wise."

Others followed suit: "Gong Zhai is wise"

Zhai Hong was ecstatically praised by everyone, and thought: "It's good to be an emperor! You can choose any woman in the world, and sleep with the most beautiful woman in the world every night."

Everyone laughed rudely, and stretched out their hands to **** the woman in their arms.

At this time, Yang Hongtao laughed again: "In fact, the most beautiful woman in the world is in Xingyang County, but it's a pity that Zhai Gong can't have it."

"Who is it?" Zhai Hong asked with great interest

asked.

Cheng Yaojin said at the right time: "Don't you know, Mr. Zhai? The concubine of Yang Qing, the king of Xun, is said to be as beautiful as Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty. She is beautiful and beautiful. I saw it once two years ago. I still remember it. His two daughters are also extremely beautiful."

There was silence at the banquet. The former prefect of Xingyang and the king of Xun, Yang Qingzai, was persuaded by Li Mi to surrender more than two months ago. He returned to Xingyang City to pick up his family members. The palace was sorting things out. A few days ago, Li Mi sent someone to deliver an order. I went to Luokou City to meet Li Mi in the next few days, and the family temporarily lived in the palace in Xingyang City. Li Mi sent hundreds of elite soldiers to guard, and strictly prohibited anyone from harassing, and anyone who violated the order would be beheaded!

This kind of silence is particularly tormenting, piercing Zhai Hong's face like a needle. If it is normal, although he hates it in his heart, he dare not say a word, because Li Mi specially wrote to him in order not to let him touch the king's family. He wrote a letter, the words were very serious, and Zhai Hong felt the importance Li Mi attached to King Xi's family.

But now that he was 70% drunk, he lost his mind, punched hard, and he slammed it on the table, "Damn, he's just a surrendered prisoner of war. Are there still few Sui officials? Since it is on Lao Tzu's territory, I will be the master."

He stood up, waved to everyone, and said ferociously: "Let's go! Play with me as a princess."

The generals under him are all vicious and vicious bandits. Some of them are excitedly thinking about the princess, while others are thinking about the jewels and money of King Xun. Since Zhai Hongken took the lead, they all clamored to follow Zhai Hong go to...

In the middle of the night, three thousand soldiers followed Zhai Hong and rushed to the front of King Xun's mansion in a short while. There were hundreds of elite soldiers at the gate of King Xun's mansion, all of whom were under Li Mi's command. Drink: "Stop! Anyone who approaches will be killed."

"Damn it, you still dare to say such things on Lao Tzu's territory." Di Hong was filled with fear, and ordered, "Kill me!"

Three thousand personal soldiers rushed forward, surrounded hundreds of people and hacked and killed them. The continuous screams pierced the quiet night sky. In a short time, more than hundreds of guards sent by Li Mi were all killed. After entering the gate of the palace, Zhai Hong let out a smirk, "Women stay here, and all men are killed!"

Hundreds of people rushed into the mansion, Zhai Hong smiled lewdly, the woman he wanted, who can stop him, he got off his horse, and strode towards the mansion, the palace was full of bleak wind and rain, screaming Sounds, cries, and cries rang out...

Cheng Yaojin also followed, but he didn't kill people, nor did he bully the woman. Instead, he saved two people while others were not paying attention, and asked the people from the Military Intelligence Office to send them to the opposite side of the palace. Huddled together in fright, they were soldiers sleeping in a corner and escaped the massacre by luck.

…

After noon on the second day, the news that the king of Xun, Yang Qing, and his son were killed, and the concubine and the two county masters were killed by rebellious soldiers spread to Luokou City.

Li Mi was furious. King Xun was the puppet emperor he was going to support. Killing King Xun ruined his great affairs, and the reputation of the Wagang Army will be ruined. This will make officials from all over the country dissatisfied. Losing to Wang Junlin was simply worse. In this way, who would dare to surrender to him? His prestige in the Wagang Army was also hit hard.

Even dared to kill his own subordinates, Li Mi gritted his teeth, pulled out the knife suddenly, and said through gritted teeth: "Zhai Hong, I have tolerated you for a long time, this time I must kill you!"

An aide reminded: "Mi Gong, the Far East Army has not retreated yet, and Zhai Hong still has 50,000 troops in his hands. Although most of them are mobs, Mi Gong has only 100,000 troops in Luokou City. If Zhai Rang is in the way of the orders from the outside battalion, I'm afraid they won't obey, how can they kill Zhai Hong?"

Li Mi sneered and said, "I have already made arrangements with Zhai Hong. Before tomorrow night, someone from Zhai Hong will send it to me."

……

……

With Cheng Yaojin and Yang Hongtao secretly contributing to the flames, together with the joint efforts of the Far East Army's Military Intelligence Office, Wulin Guild, and Xiaoyu Theater, Li Mi's people around Zhai Hong went very smoothly and secretly gave Zhai Hong to him at night. Tied up, sent to the carriage, sneaked out of the city overnight, ran for half a day, and sent to Luokou City.

At the same time, the news spread to Wagang Village, Zhai Rang ignored the persuasion of his confidantes and commanded 50,000 confidantes, Malai Luokou city dignitaries.

After Li Mi heard the news, he was overjoyed and gritted his teeth in front of his confidant: "I was thinking about how to get rid of Zhai Rang, but unexpectedly Zhai Rang sent me to my door."

A confidant reminded: "Mr. Mi, Zhai Rang's position in the Wagang Army is detached. If Mr. Mi wants to kill him, he must find a reason that convinces everyone, otherwise the Wagang Army may fall apart."

Li Mi nodded and said: "That's right, I want Zhai Rang to rescue Zhai Hong, let the Wagang army think that his Zhai brothers are at fault first, and then force Zhai Rang to take the lead, and finally will The anti-killing, when the time comes, he will convince the crowd, and then take over the 100,000 Wagang old battalion who only obeyed Zhai Rang's orders before, and then fight to the death with Wang Junlin, drive the Far Eastern Army out of the Central Plains, and truly become the master of the Central Plains. "

Pause, he glanced left and right at his confidantes, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, the general who accompanied Zhai Rang here is Shan Xiongxin, but this person has already secretly taken refuge in me."
