Chapter 1035: The Hulao Battle (3)
The war horses flew across the streets without any scruples, and the flying horse hooves trampled the accumulated water up. Fortunately, the rain was heavy at this time, and there were not many pedestrians. The horse team came in a very powerful way. You could hear the sound of thunderous horse hooves from afar. When passers-by saw it, they naturally avoided it in advance.
Although He Weiping is not the boss of the Huzhu, he still has this power.
He Weiping was unhappy in his heart, and even said that he was extremely annoyed. Xiao Qiang's son got married and had no relationship with him, but he was the one who was tortured the most this time.
His troops were originally stationed in Caihua County, which was a fertile land and the border between Hulao's direct jurisdiction and other prefectures and counties in the court. In such a place, the oil and water were naturally enough. The taxes from Caihua County were indeed insufficient to provide him with ten thousand troops, but other prefectures and counties around him should always be more filial, otherwise He Weiping would have to teach them how to be a human being in minutes.
Moreover, stationed in such a place has another advantage, especially after Xiao Qiang gradually drifted away from the court in the past two years, this benefit was even more obvious. Xiao Qiang naturally wanted to win him over. He Weiping's ten thousand elite troops were troops comparable to Xiao Qian's direct line, which was far from comparable to the troops that Xiao Qian expanded later, so he would never treat him badly in terms of salary. These two items alone were enough to make He Weiping's troops eat and drink. The court naturally wanted to pull him away. The most explicit time was that the court directly issued an order to reward He Weiping's title. As a general of the court, it was no big deal to get a title, but He Weiping's title was on par with the boss of the Huzhu Xiao Qiang, which was just bad intentions.
He Weiping was not stupid, so he would naturally refuse to be deceived with such obvious discord. He refused with righteousness and did not obey the order in the end. It was really a joke. If he accepted this title, Xiao Qiang would deal with him. He Weiping believed that at that time, the court would definitely be smiling and watching the fun.
Of course, the title cannot be accepted, but the money from Yongdu can still be accepted. Such private things cannot be taken out on the surface. So what if the court deliberately reveals them to Xiao Qiang? I will refuse to admit it myself. Besides, Xiao Qiang is not stupid, and will he use this to make things difficult for him?
As long as you don't tear your face, everything is easy to say.
We were always kind, but a year ago, Xiao Qiang transferred himself away from Caihua and entered the Hengduan Mountains. He didn't say what happened in the east and west, and the huge gap in profits between the two places made He Weiping vomit blood.
In fact, He Weiping also knew that Xiao Qiang was not at ease with him when fighting against the court. He asked to marry the eldest granddaughter of Prince Deng Hong of Kaiping County as his daughter-in-law. As long as he was not blind, he could know what Xiao Qiang wanted to do in his heart. He was afraid that the court would officially turn against him. If the court really started and placed himself in Caihua County, he was also afraid that he would turn against him, so he would transfer himself to Hengduan Mountains to fight against the Qin people and transfer his own direct line to Caihua, and he would feel more at ease.
Now Xiao Qiang is becoming more and more domineering, He Weibing sneered in his heart, do you really regard me, He Weiping, as your dog-legged? He sternly tied the war horses, and with the long neighing of the war horses, a group of cavalry stopped in front of a vermilion gate. When he heard the horse's neighing, the vermilion gate immediately opened. A series of soldiers ran out, some went to lead the horses, and some held umbrellas to hide the rain for He Weiping.
He Weiping pushed the soldier who was holding the umbrella and said, "Take off your pants and fart it. Isn't it that I'm already soaked inside and out? At this time, there is a hammer for holding the umbrella."
While cursing, he threw the whip to the guard and took a big stroll and walked inside. The ghost weather was against me. When I left the Hengduan Mountain Defense Zone in the morning, it was still sunny and the sun was bright. It was even more beautiful outside the Hulao City. It was raining heavily and it suddenly turned into a chicken that fell into a soup.
"God is not very happy!" He hummed in his heart. This time he came back to attend He Xin's wedding. Outside the city, he also saw the Thunder Army camp, and the bride Deng Shu was in that camp. But he didn't care about those, but carefully observed the army.
The Thunder Army was the first army of Qin. It was not large in number, but its combat effectiveness was quite strong. Their camps that I just saw outside were quite legal. Even if it was raining heavily, those who stood guard and patrolled were still meticulous. This rigor was incomparable to the border troops.
"The general is back?" A man who looked like a scholar stood at the door of the lobby. When he saw He Weiping, he bowed with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Tang." He Weiping looked unhappy, but when he saw the scholar, he smiled, "I have worked hard for the past six months in the past year."
Tang Weide was He Weiping's chief aide and the person he trusted the most. After being transferred to the Hengduan Mountains, He Weiping sent him back to the mansion of Hulao Pass because he was overworked and sick and needed to raise him. In fact, he asked Tang Weide to raise major events for him in Hulao Pass.
"It's just a matter of duty, why are you polite?" Tang Weide smiled and said, "It's really hard for the general to go all the way. It's better to go to the back hall to take a hot shower first, get rid of the cold air of the rain and change into comfortable clothes."
"I am a military general, so I'm so spoiled." He Weiping laughed. "Sir..."
Tang Weide waved his hand: "The general has not returned home for half a year, but his wife and the young master miss each other very much. If Weide is not tactful and asks the general not to go to the back hall to report, I am afraid that the wife will roll her eyes at Weide."
When Tang Weide said something interesting, He Weiping burst into laughter again. He didn't know what kind of person his wife was? He only respected Tang Weide. However, Tang Weide said it well. He had not been home for half a year, so he should indeed see his wife first.
"Okay, Mr. Lao Can wait for a while, and He came out to linger with him again."
"Please, General!" Tang Weide said with a smile.
An hour later, He Weiping reappeared in front of Tang Weide, took off his stomach, changed into casual clothes, and when he stepped into the study, he saw Tang Weide standing in front of the huge Hulao Pass map beside the wall.
"Sir, even if you don't look at this picture, you can still be familiar with it, right? What's the best thing about it?" He Weiping said with a smile. They have been stationed in Hulao Pass for many years, and the mountains and rivers here can be clearly understood.
"Looking from different angles, you can make different discoveries." Tang Weide shook his head: "General, I really didn't notice it before!"
He reached out and covered two parts on the map. "General, come and see, have you found anything now?"
He Weiping stared for a moment and nodded: "Jedi!"
"Yes, it's Jedi! Hulao Pass seems to have a dangerous terrain and is as solid as a rock, but this is built on the stability of the rear. Without the stability of the rear, this is Jedi." Tang Weide sighed.
"Only our generals dream of making a fortune with this place!" He Weiping walked to the table on the side, sat down casually, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one go. "Little did he know that if he really wanted to do this, Hulao Pass would soon become a Jedi."
"He thinks the Ming people will support him!" Tang Weide smiled.
"It's really a trick with a tiger. Sometimes, ambition can really erase a person's IQ." He Weiping sneered: "He can't even see such an obvious thing."
"The general said it is right. Ambition can indeed deceive a person's IQ." Tang Weide smiled and turned around, walked to He Weiping and sat down: "But there are people who are even more crazy than Xiao Qiang."
"Are you talking about Dai Shulun and Deng Shu?" He Weiping said: "Do you have new information?"
"I got it from the Ming people. Speaking of which, I was really shocked when I heard this information." Tang Weide sighed: "Deng Shu is really a lunatic."
Seeing Tang Weide's extremely angry look, He Weiping's waist, which was originally a little relaxed, immediately straightened. He knew that the resourceful person in front of him, who had always been indifferent to his emotions and could not be moved by the landslides. Now that he is so angry, there must be something that he cannot tolerate.
"What do they hide from us?"
"Dai Shulun is not the same thing!" Tang Weide said angrily: "Do you know what Deng Shu's overall plan is?"
"Aren't we taking advantage of this opportunity in front of us to eradicate Xiao Qiang, seize the military power of Hulao Pass, and then join forces with Lu to force the court to release Prince Kaiping?" He Weiping narrowed his eyes.
"They lied to us. Now I have confirmed that as long as Hulao Pass is launched, the court will inevitably kill the Prince of Kaiping. The court would rather let Deng Shu become the commander of this force than let the Prince of Kaiping come out again."
He Weiping nodded: "You can figure it out. Deng Shu is a girl after all, and it is difficult to convince the public. Even with the assistance of Dai Shulun, it is not enough. Whether I or Lu, who would convince Dai Shulun?"
"Deng Shu's plan is so crazy that it makes people frightened. General, do you know what she wants to do?" Tang Weide looked at He Weiping and asked.
"Sir."
"After Deng Shu acquired the military power of Hulao Pass, she would raise the Hulao Pass army to join Lu Zhi, and then directly attack the Ming Dynasty!"
He Weiping's face changed drastically: "What kind of bullshit plan is this? Let's not talk about the benefits of being an enemy with the Ming people. Just because the entire army invaded Ming territory, how could the Qi people outside Hulao Pass deal with it? Will the entire army leave, and the imperial army and horses take advantage of the opportunity? This plan was created by that idiot."
"She is going to give Hulao Pass to Qi people!" Tang Weide said word by word.
He Weiping widened his eyes. After a while, he finally understood all the meaning hidden here.
