Chapter 521: Li Jinwu's Secret Achievement
The riots in Yuyang City were quickly calmed down. Afterwards, the Shadow Team members captured all suspicious forces that did not belong to Jin through open and secret investigations and completely eliminated. Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us.
The governor Gongsun Zan was unable to take charge of the board of directors due to illness, so all government affairs were handed over to Sima Zhi, and all military affairs were handed over to Zhao Yun.
A few days later, Zhao Xing left Yuyang under the escort of the Dragon Cavalry Army and went to the expanding Quanzhou Naval City to inspect the work. This time, only Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and Pang Tong were left behind. Others were either unable to accompany Zhao Xing because of official duties, such as Zhao Yun, Cui Yan and others; or because of their identity, it was inconvenient to follow Zhao Xing to continue south, such as Ma Chao and some female relatives.
Affected by the Yuyang riots some time ago, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei attached great importance to Zhao Xing's safety along the way. They not only strengthened the strict inspection of the terrain around the roads they passed, but also provided layers of protection for the central army tent where Zhao Xing was located, which made Zhao Xing breathless.
From Yuyang to Quanzhou, you need to follow Zhanshui all the way south, and you have to pass through three places such as Anle, Lu County, and Yongnu. The journey is more than 200 miles.
When Zhao Xing's team arrived at Yongnu, most of the itinerary was over, and the army camped outside Yongnu's suburbs to rest. It was early winter at this time, and the weather was getting colder. The deciduous trees along the road were bare and no longer alive, leaving only thin branches swaying in the howling cold wind.
Zhao Xing, who was sitting in the tent, was talking about the current situation with Pang Tong and Zhang Liao. Although Zhao Xing had not officially disclosed his overall plan, Zhang Liao and Pang Tong had already smelled the smell of a big battle from his abnormal actions along the way.
As soon as he arrived in Yuyang, Zhao Xing secretly met Xu Shu, the commander of Xiong Fu Army who had originally stationed in Youbeiping, as well as Lu Bu, Li Tiezhu, Guan Ping, and others who were wandering outside the Great Wall north of Yuyang. He also sent Shadow Team members to send a letter to Li Jinwu Army commander of Xiongwu Army who was stationed in Fanyang, Zhuo County, and ordered him to secretly rush to Yongnu to meet.
Nowadays, there are Xiong Ju Army, Xiongwu Army, Flying Tiger Army, as well as a unit of the Dragon Cavalry Army and Dingyuan Army. If more than 10,000 people of the Quanzhou Navy are expanding rapidly, it is almost half of the total force of Jin State. It is absolutely extraordinary that the calm Youzhou suddenly secretly gathers so many troops. If Zhang Liao and Pang Tong speculate well, then Zhao Xing is preparing to attack Yuan Shao this time.
While the few people were talking, Dian Wei suddenly walked in from outside and whispered to Zhao Xing: "Captain Li has arrived, but he still has one person."
Zhao Xing was moved when he heard Dian Wei's words. He knew that although Dian Wei looked stupid in appearance, he was actually as careful as he was, and would never say a word of nonsense at this time. Since he reminded himself that Li Jinwu brought someone, this person was absolutely very important. So Zhao Xing said: "Please settle the guests brought by Commander Li first and let him come in to see me."
Soon, Li Jinwu, with a dusty face, walked into Zhao Xing's tent and saw that except for Pang Tong, the rest of Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were old acquaintances on the former arena. So he said in a loud voice: "Brother Xing, this cold weather, why did you run to the south of Youzhou? Is there anything that cannot be explained in the letter?"
Li Jinwu is Zhao Xing's cousin and the first good brother to conquer the world with Zhao Xing. He belongs to Zhao Xing's absolute trust. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xing deliberately cultivated and valued him over the years. Now he and Jia Mu lead 20,000 Xiongwu Army to be stationed in Fanyang, not only guarding against the harassment of the Heishan Army, but also shocking Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
However, Li Jinwu himself did work hard and did not become arrogant because he was a cousin of Zhao Xing. In recent years, he started from a grassroots leader and took a very important position with a knife and a shot.
Zhao Xing signaled Li Jinwu to sit down and drink a few sips of hot tea first, so that he would not rush to talk about the main business.
Li Jinwu was not polite, and sat down and poured a few mouthfuls of tea, then gasped and said, "I heard that there was a riot in Yuyang City a few days ago?"
Zhao Xing said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your news is fast. As soon as the riots subsided, I came south with my men. Many people probably haven't learned about this."
Li Jinwu said to Zhao Xing with a proud look: "Hehe, it's not that my news came quickly, but mainly because someone informed me in advance!"
Zhang Liao, who was standing aside, was dissatisfied after hearing this, stared at Li Jinwu and said, "Brother Jinwu, it's too much for you to do this. Since you know that there are evil people who are in trouble, why don't you warn us in advance?"
Li Jinwu was not angry after hearing Zhang Liao's words and continued, "Who said I didn't want to show warning? It's mainly because I only learned about this two days ago. The matter must have happened at that time. Before I could tell the warning, I received a secret letter from Xingdi, asking me to rush to Yongnu to meet in secret."
Zhao Xing asked Li Jinwu with great interest: "Can you get a little Zhuge who can calculate and calculate? He has calculated this matter in advance?"
After hearing Zhao Xing's words, Li Jinwu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Who is Xiao Zhuge? I haven't heard of it! But I really guessed it. Now I have not only won a powerful general, but also tens of thousands of troops!"
When everyone heard Li Jinwu's words, they looked shocked and felt that it was too incredible.
Seeing the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces, Li Jinwu became even more proud and said with a chuckle: "Brother Xing, you must have never thought that I would get rid of Zhang Yan!"
"What? Did you deal with Zhang Yan?" Zhao Xing shouted a little absurdly. It's not that Zhao Xing was so surprised. The news was really too shocking. Although Zhang Yan of Heishan repeatedly suffered defeat in front of the Jin army and also lost a lot of people, according to the intelligence analysis of the shadow spy, at least about 50,000 Black Mountain troops were lurking in the vast Taihang Mountains. Although the combat power of the Xiongwu Army is much higher than that of the Black Mountain Army, it is a bit exaggerated to try to swallow Zhang Yan's 50,000 bandits with 20,000 people.
Zhao Xing knew that his cousin would definitely not tell jokes to make fun of everyone at this time, so he said solemnly: "Pick up the key points and talk about the incident."
Li Jinwu also knew the importance and no longer laughed. Instead, he reported in a very concise manner according to the military's regulations that the subordinates reported to the commander: "Since I led my army to Fanyang last year, I have sent my confidants to the depths of Heishan to secretly contact Zhang Yan and persuaded him to join Jin State. The last time before the matter was completed, military advisor Jia Mu went to Heishan to meet Zhang Yan in person, urging the matter to be completed. A few days ago, Zhang Yan received an urgent letter from Yuan Shao's secret envoy and felt that something might be going wrong in Yuyang, so he went out to see me. I happened to come to meet you, so he brought him with me!"
Li Jinwu's words are concise and basically have made the context of the matter very clear. Although he said it lightly, everyone who heard it showed admiration. It is impossible to praise the great contribution to Zhang Yan silently, remove a difficult opponent and hidden danger for Jin State, and add a large army that can make it unprepared.
"Brother Jinwu did this skillfully, it was such a wonderful achievement!" Zhang Liao rubbed his palms excitedly, as if he could immediately come to Taocheng, Jizhou Temple, to realize his dream for many years.
"Since Zhang Yan dares to come with you to see me, it means that he is sincerely seeking the State of Jin, and we cannot neglect it. You can invite him to my account now. Some things happen to be explained in person, and we will settle today!" Zhao Xing also said excitedly.
