Chapter 4467 Requesting reinforcements
Although he had played a decisive role in Xiao Yu, Cui Xin and others' "return" process before, Chu Suiliang was still frightened, thinking about how to offset the threat posed by the "confession" in Xiao Yu's hand. However, His Majesty He was magnanimous and did not pursue the crime of relying on the King of Jin, which made the "confession" that Xiao Yu coerced him to write useless. Xiao Yu naturally would not use it to threaten him, so he gave it to him in front of him. destroy.
In the end, although he had no official position and no position, he was wiped out, but at the same time all the culprits were cleared, and he was left clean and innocent, with no worries anymore.
Wouldn't it be a great achievement if Linghu Defen, a "rebel", could be captured alive and presented before His Majesty?
Even though it is not enough to reinstate the official, it is extremely beneficial to the situation after returning to Qiantang in the future...
Chu Suiliang weighed the pros and cons and made an immediate decision. He called the general in a carriage behind him and said, "Follow Linghu Defen and his entourage. You only need to hang it from a distance. You must not alert the snake or leave any easy things along the way." I'll find someone to help me identify the mark, and I'll be here soon."
There are more than 20 people in Linghu Defen's party. Except for Linghu Defen, everyone is obviously the elite of the family because of their fat body and strong body. They are difficult to subdue, so they must find a strong support to hit them with one blow.
"Here!"
Several family generals took the order and immediately followed Linghu Defen and his entourage on horseback.
Chu Suiliang got out of the car and told his two sons: "You take the carriage and continue on your journey. Only if your father sends someone to look for you can you come back. Otherwise, you will go all the way back to your hometown in Qiantang and don't let anything happen."
There is no better way to know a son than a father. Although both of these two sons have outstanding literary names, in fact they are over-sighted, impetuous, dull, and embarrassed.
Chu Yanfu and Chu Yanchong hurriedly asked: "Where does father want to ask for help?"
Chu Suiliang shook his head and said: "You don't need to know, you just need to obey orders!"
Chu Yanfu and Chu Yanchong had no choice but to follow the motorcade out of Chunming Gate and go straight to Baqiao...
Chu Suiliang took a few servants and rode north from Chunming Gate, bypassing the East Inner Garden, passing through the yet-to-be-built Daming Palace, and heading straight to Xuanwu Gate.
When Linghu Defen went to Chang'an, he must have gone to Chang'an to plead guilty. After all, surrendering and being captured had completely different meanings. Instead of waiting for His Majesty to send someone to arrest him, it would be better to go to Chang'an to see him and ask for his guilt. Perhaps Your Majesty is magnanimous and can be lenient.
It's just that he probably didn't expect that he would be turned away and his whereabouts would be leaked. Once someone found out about the Sixth Army of the East Palace outside Chunming Gate, they would definitely go to arrest him. Therefore, Chu Suiliang had to find reinforcements as soon as possible. If he was too late, he might Linghu Defen fell into the hands of others.
He was not familiar with the six leaders of the East Palace. He was afraid that this credit would be lost, so he could only find a reinforcement he could trust, and this reinforcement was Fang Jun...
In fact, everyone in the Chu family had nothing to do with Fang Jun. There was no enmity but a lot of quarrels. However, Chu Suiliang knew very well that Fang Jun was not a person who would add insult to injury. Moreover, the Chu family in Qiantang cooperated with the navy in many aspects. I think I will sell myself a favor.
After galloping all the way, it was already Xu hours when we arrived outside the Xuanwu Gate. The entire military camp was brightly lit and there was no sign of rest. The soldiers and horses in the camp were moving around and the sky was full of excitement. The reorganization work was in full swing.
A scout came forward and stopped Chu Suiliang and his party, and asked: "Who trespasses into the important area of the military camp and is tired of living?"
Chu Suiliang hurriedly rode forward: "I am Chu Suiliang. I have something important to ask to see the Duke of Yue. Please tell me as soon as possible!"
The scout looked up and down, thinking that he recognized them, so he took Chu Suiliang and his party outside the camp gate, then went inside to report, and returned after a while: "The commander is not here for the time being, either go inside and wait, or leave on his own."
Chu Suiliang thought for a while and decided to enter the military camp and wait. The reorganization of the left and right garrison guards into the left and right Jinwu guards was in full swing. As the supervisor, Fang Jun could not be away from his post for a long time. Even if he had to leave for a while, he would definitely come back soon.
Naturally, the scouts would not allow his entourage to enter the military camp, and only took Chu Suiliang alone to the house next to the commander's tent.
No one greeted Chu Suiliang. He stood in front of the building and observed the busy military camp under the bright lights. He watched all kinds of weapons and equipment being transported into the military camp and distributed. Even in the middle of the night, he could still see the high morale of the soldiers. He had to admire him. Fang Junzhi's ability to manage troops is truly second to none.
There was a guard at the door who was on duty to prevent him from wandering around. After watching for a while, he returned to the house and a guard brought him tea.
Even after he finished the pot of tea, Fang Jun was not summoned, and Chu Suiliang couldn't sit still...
Now that Linghu Defen has leaked his whereabouts, someone must be keeping an eye on him. Who would let such a "walking military hero" go? As long as he is taken down and escorted to His Majesty, it will be regarded as a merit in any case. A person with such a high status as Fang Jun may not care, but there will always be someone who cares.
If you arrive late, someone else might get there first...
Chu Suiliang sat for a while longer, got up, came to the door, and asked the guard: "I wonder if Duke Yue is back?"
The guard shook his head: "You haven't come back yet, but the commander's account has already recorded your arrival. As soon as the commander comes back, the scribe will definitely notify you."
Chu Suiliang asked again: "Who is in charge of the military camp now?"
Since Fang Jun was not here, if Gao Kan and others were here, they would have the right to decide to send someone to follow him to arrest Linghu Defen.
The guard said: "Only General Wang is here."
"I wonder which General Wang it is?"
"Deputy General of Youtun Guard, General Wang Fangyi."
Wang Fangyi? I’m not familiar with this...
Chu Suiliang was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go see him first: "Please let me know. I have something to ask for."
The guards left, turned around in a moment, and took Chu Suiliang to the commander's tent not far away.
The Left and Right Tun Guards were abolished and the Left and Right Jinwu Guards were established, and the original soldiers and generals were reorganized. Especially the close confidants of the Chai family left in the Left Tun Guards were either removed from their posts or transferred from their posts. Many of the vacant positions needed to be re-employed. Arranging manpower naturally attracted the attention of many people. Not only did the Ministry of War continue to dispatch generals, but all parties also tried to arrange manpower, so the workload was extremely heavy.
Wang Fangyi took a sip of herbal tea and exhaled. When he saw Chu Suiliang coming in, he stood up to greet him: "I have seen the Duke of Henan."
Although Chu Suiliang now has no official position, his title has not changed, and his reputation for culture and culture has spread throughout the world. Wang Fangyi will not treat him lightly.
Chu Suiliang didn't dare to be too arrogant. After all, he was in a military camp, and they were all vulgar and bloody people. If they collided, he would definitely suffer...
"General Wang is a young hero. I am glad to meet you."
Wang Fangyi smiled, asked Chu Suiliang to take a seat at the door of the commander's tent, so as not to delay the civil servants who were coming in and out, and asked him to serve tea, and asked: "I don't know what you have to do with me, Lord?"
Chu Suiliang drank a lot of tea, but he was not thirsty: "There is an urgent matter. When will the Duke of Yue come back?"
Wang Fangyi said: "His Majesty summoned the commander into the palace to discuss matters, but he didn't know when he would come back."
Chu Sui's conscience was anxious and he was silent.
Seeing his expression, Wang Fangyi knew that he really had something important to do, and said: "If the general can handle it, it's okay for the prince to speak up. If it must be done by the general, then the prince can only wait here, and the general will not dare to send anyone into the palace." Go and urge.”
Chu Suiliang thought for a moment. There are many affairs in the imperial court now. As His Majesty's confidant, Fang Jun must be involved in many things. Since Your Majesty summoned him into the palace to discuss matters, it must be no small matter. It must not be solved in a short while, but Linghu Defen Over there, I couldn’t save everything and was kidnapped along the way...
Then he asked tentatively: "When I left the city, I found a remnant of the King of Jin, but the number of people accompanying him was too small. I was afraid that I would not be able to capture him and would scare the snake, so I came to beg the Duke of Yue for help, but I didn't know whether General Wang could send him. Someone help me?”
Regardless of whether Wang Fangyi can send people, he must take credit for this achievement. Otherwise, if Wang Fangyi takes away the credit, what is the point of arresting Linghu Defen?
As soon as Wang Fangyi heard the words "the remnant of King Jin", his eyes suddenly lit up, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and asked: "Who is it?"
Chu Suiliang didn't want to say it, but he also knew that if he wanted Wang Fangyi to send someone, he couldn't hide it, so he had to say: "Linghu Defen."
"Hey! This is a big fish!"
Wang Fangyi was excited and gearing up: "How many people did the old thief bring? Is it enough for the general to lead a brigade of cavalry himself?"
His commander-in-chief had many enemies in the court, and the Chu Suiliang in front of him was one of them. However, the two sides were just fighting over each other and did not involve fundamental interests, so he met with Chu Suiliang and asked what he had done. What's the matter? But Linghu Defen was different. When the old thief framed the commander-in-chief, Lady Wu gave her a slap in the face. Although the two families were not feuding, they still had deep grievances. Now they had the chance to capture Linghu Defen alive. It was just the right time. To vent their anger on the commander and Lady Wu.
Chu Suiliang felt vaguely uneasy and hesitated: "There are probably only twenty or thirty people, but they all look like elites and cannot be underestimated..."
"Bang!" Wang Fangyi slapped the table and shouted: "Come here! Order five hundred light cavalry, and follow my general to capture the traitor!"
"Here!"
A school captain responded and trotted out to gather the soldiers. Immediately there was a burst of people shouting and horses neighing.
Wang Fangyi stood up suddenly, looked at Chu Suiliang and said: "Please lead the way, Duke!"
Chu Suiliang: "..."
I see you looking so impatient, why do you seem to want to take away my credit?
Otherwise, why would five hundred elite Qingqi be needed to deal with just a few dozen slaves from the Linghu family? There are so many people, enough to kill the entire Linghu family...
He pondered and wanted to make sure that this credit could only go to himself, and that he would write down a favor from Wang Fangyi or Fang Jun. However, while he was thinking about his words, the captain from before had returned and said loudly: "General Qi, five hundred The Qingqi are assembled!”
Chu Suiliang: "..."
So fast?
Wang Fangyi’s eyes were blazing: “My lord, please!”
Now that things have come to this, what else can Chu Suiliang say? If he dares to say that he does not know the whereabouts of Linghu Defen, Wang Fangyi might be able to tie him up and torture him to extract a confession. He can only hope that this boy is a fastidious person and does not dare to expect that all the credit will be given to him and that he can leave a big head for himself. Thank God...(End of Chapter)
