Chapter 340: Assassination
(My back injury is just right. I really can’t sit for a long time. Make sure to update normally first. I will make up for what I owe later. I will not accept the interest. Some people even want to engage in loan sharking. , that’s even worse.)
Linghu Zhishu hummed a tune happily while packing his luggage.
After a day of consideration, Tang Xiaofeng finally agreed to his request.
In Linghu Zhishu’s opinion, this was still an act of indecisiveness. According to the current situation, there is actually not much choice at all.
No matter how much you think about it, what’s the point!
Surviving is the top priority, and then think about other things on this basis.
In this regard, He Zudao is an extremely standard example.
Every decision made by this person is breathtaking, and it also allows him to crawl out from the edge of failure again and again. Although sometimes he is bruised and bruised, he survives in the end.
The more times he climbed out of dead ends, the more he accumulated countless experiences, which also gave his subordinates more trust in him.
While the Linghu clan was marching towards Luoyang and Chang'an, He Zudao was striding southward.
In Linghuye’s opinion, the biggest enemy in the south from now on should be He Zudao.
However, in Linghu Zhishu's view, Li Dachui outside the pass is a greater threat.
Because He Zudao is in the south, he is more and more constrained.
Whether it is local gentry, famous families, wealthy merchants, or the Southern Chu army that has been eyeing Xiangcheng, He Zudao's road will be very difficult.
Unless he surrenders to Nanchu.
But if this happens, He Zudao will lose the support of the Qin people. From the overall situation, it is hard to say which one is better and which one is worse.
With He Zudao's nature, he would not make this move unless it was absolutely necessary.
If this person is willing to stay low and be small, he will not leave when the Linghu clan army advances towards Luoyang, but will welcome Linghu Ye's arrival.
He Zudao now has the capital to get on the table.
The world is full of vicissitudes!
A few years ago, when the Linghu clan was planning a major event to compete for the top spot, where did they consider Li Dachui and He Zudao?
In the blink of an eye, the original powerful factions fell one after another, but these two people rose like the rising sun, and soon became so brilliant that it was impossible to look directly at them. .
This time we went through a lot of hardships and rushed to Shuzhong. Although it still ended in failure, if we could bring back Tang Xiaofeng and these elite soldiers and horses under his command, it would be considered a worthwhile trip.
And after returning, I finally have my own manpower.
Tang Xiaofeng and the others are his natural allies,
which will give him a greater say in the Linghu Group.
In the past, everyone said that they had a high position and were the commander-in-chief’s confidant.
But all the power comes from uncle.
When his uncle doesn't want him, he can make him lose everything with just one word.
From now on, it will be different.
This is my biggest gain from this trip.
Just like Li Guohua, although his surname is Li, he has always been the number two figure in the Linghu Group.
Because he has his own power.
He is more of a close ally of his uncle than just a subordinate.
The rumble of drums sounded in my ears. It was Tang Xiaofeng beating the Jujiang drum.
Convene all officers above the rank of captain to discuss this time's Beitou matter.
This is what Tang Xiaofeng said to Linghu Zhishu.
Being far away from home and not knowing when to return, for such a big matter, it is natural to communicate and discuss with the officers to try to reach a consensus.
Of course, such a gathering of people has another meaning,
Those who are unconvinced and unwilling can be arrested and dealt with on the spot.
Clean up all the unstable factors in one go.
"Old Seven, bring me a bottle of the monkey wine that Tang Xiaofeng gave me yesterday, and let's have a few drinks!" Linghu Zhishu said with a genuine smile.
A new group of people walked along the high steps to the highest point of Jianmen Pass, where they can overlook the majestic scenery of the entire Jianmen Pass. Naturally, it is also the most dangerous and important place in Jianmen Pass.
The command post of the supreme commander is set up here, and it is also where everyone discusses military aircraft on a daily basis.
More than a year ago, Tang Xiaofeng came here and replaced Brand New as the guard of Jianmen Pass. Brand New didn't have many complaints.
Shu has been accumulating strength over the years, waiting for opportunities to spy on the Central Plains, and he also participated.
It is understandable that Tang would like to hold such an important location as Jianmen Pass in his own hands.
Of course, more importantly, he and Tang Xiaofeng have also been friends for many years.
With Tang Xiaofeng as his deputy, he had no ulterior motives in his heart.
It's just that time has changed, and now the two are finally going their separate ways.
And Tang Xiaofeng will die in his own hands.
Xinxin turned his head and glanced at Li Dachui behind him, with a strange look in his eyes.
He watched helplessly as Li Dachui made him look like Quan Rui in front of him, and at that time, Quan Rui was standing beside him.
Two almost identical Quan Rui gave Xinxin an insight into the highest level of disguise in the world. Especially when Li Dachui's bones crackled and his figure, which was a head taller than Quan Rui, shrank to the same height as Quan Rui, he could hardly believe his eyes.
When the disguise technique reaches this level, it can be said to be an inhuman method.
In the past, when Li Dachui was at the ninth level of Xuanyuan, he could not do this because although he had the most brilliant master in this field, he had not systematically learned this kind of kung fu since he was a child. , the practice process is really too hard and cruel.
But when he broke through Xuanyuan and reached Xiantian, the previous difficulties were easily solved.
There is no need for Xinxin to know some of the mysteries here.
He just saluted to Xinxin and said with a smile: "Father, it's time to go!"
At that time, the eyes of Xinxin and Quan Rui's father and son changed, because the voice was exactly the same as Quan Rui's.
The road was heavily guarded.
There are too many to mention.
There are no blind spots or loopholes at all.
Anyone who thinks that they can come to Jianmen Pass for a sneak attack on a dark and midwinter night will gain nothing other than a loss of lives.
This is also the reason why Li Dachui needs to bring him here again. If he does not get close to Tang Xiaofeng, even if he is an innate master, he will not be able to kill him among well-equipped elite troops.
Taking the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops is generally just talk.
If it is true, then it can only be said that these ten thousand armies were probably defeated and disintegrated.
Of course, as long as he stepped into the meeting hall and got close to Tang Xiaofeng, this person would be dead.
And at this time, the real Quan Rui is leading the garrison of Xiaojianmenguan around from the rear. As soon as Tang Xiaofeng dies, the Jianmenguan army will be blocked from both sides, with Wu De in the front and Quan Rui in the back. Let them be unable to move forward or retreat, and then let the new one step in to comfort them and slowly recover.
Li Dachui also likes this idea of bringing all officers above the rank of captain together to discuss and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents!
At that time, I can also remove all the core strength of the Tang family in Jianmenguan with one hammer, which will save trouble!
The new identity is naturally different.
Under the steps in front of the hall, the officers who came one after another placed their weapons neatly on the table.
Li Dachui also untied the knife from his waist and threw it on it.
But Brand New walked in with high spirits. The guards at the door not only did not block him, but bowed to greet him.
The Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest Picture was the commander’s tiger case before, so the first seat on the left is naturally brand new.
He walked straight to his seat and as soon as he sat down, there was already an endless stream of officers coming up to greet him.
Li Dachui stood behind him, looking up and down at the officers who came up to salute.
The Jianmen Pass defense line is not just a simple pass. Starting from the Small Sword Gate and ending at the Big Sword Gate, it is a three-dimensional defense line that is dozens of miles wide and more than a hundred miles deep. Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in various locations for a year. There are not many things that call for a meeting of all officers. Unless there is a major matter, gatherings like this are extremely rare.
So many officers are not very familiar with each other, and some who have just taken office do not even know each other.
The reason why I came to see Xin Xin was not because Xin Xin was the second-in-command on the entire defense line, but because these people were originally Xin Xin’s subordinates or were promoted and trained by Xin Xin.
It was just over a year ago that the brand new gave way to Tang Xiaofeng.
Before this, Jianmenguan had always been headed by Xinxin.
At that time, the entire Jianmen garrison only had more than 10,000 people.
After Tang Xiaofeng came, the number of troops stationed here gradually increased, and the salary doubled than before, and other various subsidies were also greatly improved.
After all, the Tang family's own financial resources and influence in Shu are not comparable to those of Xin.
This method of wooing the entire army was directly and effectively combined with the fact that Quanxin had no resistance to Tang Xiaofeng's rise to power, which allowed Tang Xiaofeng to take power smoothly.
Of course, such a smooth operation also meant that the officer system of the entire Jianmenguan defense line did not undergo much adjustment.
Tang Xiaofeng just replaced his own people in some key positions.
Xinquan is very supportive of him, so naturally he should reciprocate the favor.
If Tang Xiaofeng continued to replace new people on a large scale under such circumstances, he would be causing trouble for himself.
But it is precisely because of this that Xinxin doesn’t have much to worry about the big things to be done today.
As long as Li Dachui, an innate master, eliminated Tang Xiaofeng and several core disciples of the Tang family in one fell swoop, the remaining officers would have the confidence to suppress and control them.
The sound of footsteps came from the back hall, and the hall immediately became quiet. Most people stood up, half-turned, and looked in the direction of the back hall.
Brand still sits and doesn't move.
The first to come out were several young guards. When these guards stood on both sides of the big case, Xinxin stood up. It seemed that he had an inexplicable tacit understanding with Xinxin. At the same time, Tang Xiaofeng also came out of the back hall, walked behind the big case, glanced at everyone, and then sat down steadily.
“I’ve seen the general!” Dozens of generals bowed and saluted.
"Brothers, no need to be polite, just sit down!" Tang Xiaofeng, who was still dressed in filial piety, waved his hand.
