Chapter 209: The situation reversed
Bai turned around, returned to the stage in the backyard, and asked Su Mula: T-jing, what should I do if I can do the central hall?"
Su Mula slapped the dust on his body and said, "My master is holding the army and silver pay from several provinces in the southwest of Jiangnan. His power in the court is also deeply rooted. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor will never touch you easily. Since the emperor secretly transferred the princes and generals outside the pass to enter the pass to serve the king, the three camps and palace guards who were loyal to the central hall in the capital will be useless and will be replaced by the King's Army sooner or later. Therefore, the master can stand in Hengyang and command the southern provinces. As long as the military power in the southwest and the food pay from Jiangnan are still in the hands of the master, no one can do anything to you?"
Obai angrily found a seat to sit down. His gangsters were all in the capital. Life and death were uncertain, and there was not even a person around him to discuss. Fortunately, Sumula was a little knowledgeable. He squinted his eyes and thought about it calmly, thinking that Sumula was not wrong. Since the watermelon was lost, he always had to pick up sesame seeds. Fortunately, he had some prestige in the army. The orphan and widowed mother in the capital could not do anything to him at the moment. But the question is, will the troops of the southwest provinces be loyal to him? Also, will Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi be convinced? Now in Hengyang, he can only control the troops of 30,000 cavalry camps, and the local Eight Banners Green Camp in Hunan. As for the provinces of Shaanxi, Guizhou, Guangdong and Fujian, they are old subordinates of the Three Feudatories, will these people support him? Will the admirals and generals in Jiangnan obey their orders?
Seeing that Oboi's face was gloomy and calm, Su Mula whispered confidently: "Are you afraid that the old subordinates of the Three Feudatories would not accept it?"
Obai looked at Sumula deeply. Originally, he looked down on this slave, but now the demeanor shown by this guy is inevitably looked down upon by Obai. Obai nodded and actually became a little dependent on Sumula: "That's it."
Su Mula said: "To be obedient by these fence-bearers is nothing more than two tricks, one is to pull and the other is to beat. After thinking about it, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong were the most powerful ministers, and the master could not hold back. However, Zhao Fu and Wang Fuchen were just small admirals. If the master tried his best to win over, he would not not be able to worship his master's disciple. Therefore, if he wanted to win over Zhao Fu and Wang Fuchen, he had to beat Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi first."
Oboi nodded deeply, Su Mula said nothing wrong. Geng Jingzhong Shang Kexi was the most powerful minister and he had no capital to win over them. Since this is the case, he would beat them hard. Once Geng Jingzhong Shang Kexi was eradicated and the two vassals were cut off, the two ministers of Zhao Fu and King Sushi were naturally in panic all day long. At that time, Oboi would use gentle means to win over them, and he would not be afraid that they would not be obedient.
"Master, now Geng Jingzhong, Monk Kexi is in Hengyang. Why would you better put them under house arrest first, then block the news and ask the court for the imperial edict. Geng Jingzhong Shang Kexi was arrogant and domineering, secretly contacted Nanming, and asked the Empress Dowager to abolish the Three Vastrous Ones. Now that the army outside the pass has not arrived, the court is very afraid of the master. Especially at this critical period, we will definitely agree to the master's memorial to numb the master. As long as the imperial edict is invited, we will immediately eliminate Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, and then the master led the cavalry camp to Fujian, Guangdong. The two vassal states had no leader. The master acted according to the order and did not need to use swords and weapons to control the two vassals. Zhao Fuchen and Wang Fuchen had a secret relationship with the two vassals. The two vassals were punished by one. The two must be afraid of the crime. If the master wins a lot at this time, the military power will be firmly controlled in your hands."
"Okay!" Obai stood up and said, "That's it."
…
Qing soldiers were scattered everywhere on the streets of Hengyang. Not only was the Knights camp stationed here, but the green camps in various prefectures and counties in Hunan also gradually opened. Therefore, the streets were depressed a lot, and many shops were closed quickly, and they really didn't dare to do business with these soldiers and bandits.
The inn was located in the east of the city. At this time, a group of Qing soldiers rode horses and surrounded the inn. Under the order of a general, the inn was surrounded. Then the general and a group of Qing soldiers got off the horse and stepped into the inn. They were so scared that they were guarding the main gate that they hurried in to report the news.
After a moment of hard work, the pale face of the Yicheng rushed out of the front yard and forced a smile to beat Qian Zuogong: "June. Everyone is the family members of the officials and relatives here. The King of Zhennan is also resting inside. I wonder if you have any instructions. Can you go outside and say so. Don't scare the family members of the place inside."
The official secretary took out the name of Zhennan King. He originally thought that this one would always give in. Unexpectedly, he sneered and pushed him away: "My dedication is the commander of Aozhongtang. I am smart enough to know more. My dedication is the King of Zhennan King Hepingnan King.
”
The general glanced at the panicked Yicheng: "Which yard is the King of Pingnan and Zhennan living in?"
As the place where the official family resides, the inn is very active and covers an area of dozens of acres. The single yard is divided into several rooms. It is completely a replica of the Jiangnan garden structure.
The postmaster hurriedly replied: "The King of Zhennan is still resting in Yingchun Garden. The King of Pingnan took his people out for hunting early this morning and has not returned yet."
"Geng Jingzhong is not here?" Zhao Yuan was shocked. This trip was considered
The snake was shocked and waved his hand quietly: "Come on, let's surround Yingchun Garden first? Go to pay tribute to the King of Zhennan. Recently, the city is unstable, and thieves are often there. Aozhongtang has orders, so everyone should protect the prince."
The Qing soldiers received the order and drew out their weapons, asked a postman to lead the way, sealed the garden where Shang Kexi lived, and a few more went in for the "guard" to "guard".
He didn't dare to neglect one, and there was one Shang Kexi missing. He hurriedly took the remaining Qing soldiers out of the inn. While someone was sending a message to Oboi, he went out of the city to search first.
Geng Jingzhong was not a stable person, and he was very irritable and could not stay in the inn. However, Oboi did not speak and he could not return to Fujian, so he had to go out to the city to hunt every day. The west of Hengyang was Xiongfuling, Siming Mountain, Tengyunling; the northwest and the north were Dayun Mountain, Jiufeng Mountain and Nanyue Hengshan. It was the best place to hunt. Early in the morning, Geng Jingzhong prepared his bow and horses, and took a dozen people with him out of the city and went to Siming Mountain in the west. Perhaps he should not have died. When he returned to the city, it was already evening. He had just arrived at the west gate of Hengyang City and was about to enter the city, but he saw that the access control was tightened in the city. Dozens of Qing soldiers on standby saw Geng Jingzhong and rushed over immediately. Everyone rushed forward, as if they were picking up gold ingots.
Geng Jingzhong was shocked. Originally, the city gate was guarded by the Green Camp soldiers, but today he replaced the Qing soldiers of the cavalry camp with armor and body. He saw so many people rushing towards him. Someone else released the reins on the horse stake and turned over the horse. He suddenly became prepared and quickly transferred the horse heads and ran out of the city to run for life. Until now, he still didn't know what had happened, but he knew something happened in the city. Eighty-boi was about to arrest him.
After a moment, the cavalry and cavalry behind him were getting closer and closer. Several of Geng Jingzhong's followers were shot and killed. Fortunately, the cavalry camp only wanted to capture Geng Jingzhong alive, so they did not shoot him. Seeing the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer, and the fewer and fewer followers around him, Geng Jingzhong had no choice but to rely on the excellent horses under his seat to escape in a panic.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the pursuers were lit up on the horse. The torch was still chasing. A soldier from the cavalry camp took a bow and shot an arrow on Geng Jingzhong's trunk. The horse was in pain and ran forward dozens of feet, setting a distance from the pursuers, and then gradually slowed down. The horse was injured. If he continued to run like this, he would be exhausted sooner or later. Geng Jingzhong complained in his heart, but he could do nothing.
Suddenly a strong wind blew over, and then the sky thunder and lightning roared. In an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky. The raindrops wet Geng Jingzhong's face. The mountain road suddenly became muddy, and the horse's speed obviously weakened a lot. Geng Jingzhong looked back and saw a darkness behind. It turned out that the torch of the pursuers was wet by the rain. He heard a burst of shouts, but he could not see anyone. He was overjoyed. It was pitch black at this time. It was the best time to escape. So he forced himself to energize, clamped the horse's belly and adjusted the horse's head, and jumped off at a fork. The horse was still running towards the small path to the west, while Geng Jingzhong, who was falling in the mud, turned up and ran towards the small path in the mountains.
It was not until dawn that Geng Jingzhong, who was hiding in the mountains, confirmed that the pursuers were gone, so he quickly took off his armor and fled south in his underwear.
Seven or eight days later, the down-and-out Geng Jingzhong arrived in Guangdong. He rode a stolen donkey and was dirty all over his body called Guan under Zhaoqing City.
The boss on the city tower did not dare to neglect after hearing about Geng Jingzhong's identity, so he quickly welcomed Geng Jingzhong in.
"Hurry! Go and call your prince Shang Zhixin. King Zhennan has been captured by Obai. Go quickly!" The pale-faced Geng Jingzhong said the first thing he said after seeing President Ba was to urge him to report to Shang Zhixin.
Three days later, Shang Zhixin, who had just returned to Guangzhou from Qiongzhou, rushed to Zhaoqing again. Geng Jingzhong, who had been resting in Zhaoqing for a few days, looked much better. Shang Zhixin asked in a slight manner: "Brother Wang, did my father really detain Obai?"
Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi were peers, so Shang Zhixin called Geng Jingzhong brother. Geng Jingzhong told Shang Zhixin one by one about what happened ten days ago. At the end, he added: "Since Aobai wants to capture me, he will naturally not let King Zhennan go. It seems that King Zhennan is in danger this time."
