Chapter 540 Guangbi's scheming

After a moment, the soldier led a middle-aged scholar. He was thin and ugly, and had a few sparse rat whiskers. If you look closely, this person was a little lame. Ji Guangchen's personal soldiers in the tent couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Even Ji Guangchen himself frowned. Is this Li Guangbi's special envoy? Why is he so obscene? He couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Li Guangbi.

Ji Guangchen had a white face and a handsome appearance. In addition, he was tall and always known as the number one handsome man in the capital. He was very conceited about his appearance. When he saw an ugly man came, he immediately became unhappy.

Ji Guangchen knew about Li Guangbi's situation. Neither Geshuhan nor An Sishun looked down on this person at that time, and treated him like a Juqiu, kicking him around between Shuofang, Longyou and Hexi. In the end, Geshuhan sent him to Anxi, but he was valued by Li Qing'an. It is said that he did a good job in Anxi.

Despite this, Ji Guangchen always felt that there was no general in Shu and Liao Hua was the vanguard. There were no famous generals in Anxi, so he could make a successful career in Anxi.

Today, Li Guangbi sent another unpretentious envoy to come, which made Ji Guangchen, who was a martial artist and always arrogant, look down on Li Guangbi a little.

The middle-aged scholar dragged his feet into the tent, bowed to Ji Guangchen, and said, "I am humble, I am a humble job... Li Guang... Bi is the general, and the general's tent is under the tent... Cai Jinglun."

The big tent burst into laughter, and it turned out to be a stutter. Ji Guangchen glared at his personal soldiers fiercely. Although he didn't like it, he was the chief general and could not be rude. So he suppressed his displeasure and said to the middle-aged scholar: "What letter did Mr. Cai bring to me!"

He didn't believe that this stuttering scholar could be a lobbyist, and usually brought him a letter from Li Guangbi. Unexpectedly, the scholar had no letters. His face turned red and he stuttered even more: "Li, General Li, let's... humble, bring a message to Ji, General Ji."

"alright!"

Ji Guangchen finally couldn't help it anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Give him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, let him write it out."

Cai Jinglun took a step back and stared at Ji Guangchen and said, "Ji, why does General Ji look down on me?"

"I did not underestimate Mr. I was asked to write it in writing because of my importance. This is to respect your General Li. Don't be suspicious, go and write it!"

Cai Jinglun was taken down by his personal soldiers. Ji Guangchen leaned on the back of the chair and looked thoughtfully outside the tent. He thought that it would be Li Qing'an who would send someone to negotiate with him, but he didn't expect that it was Li Guangbi who sent someone to come. This shows that Li Guangbi was eager to seek credit and wanted to recruit himself before Li Qing'an. Is this an opportunity to delay time?

At this time, a personal soldier stepped forward and handed a piece of paper to Ji Guangchen, "General, that stutter has been written."

Ji Guangchen took the letter and saw that the handwriting was elegant and elegant. The stuttering actually wrote a good handwriting. He nodded secretly and could see that the scholar was indeed a little talented. Although he was talented, Li Guangbi sent him to serve as an envoy, which showed that he was not good at employed people. It was like sending chickens to plow the fields and sending oxes to fight. Li Guangbi was really not very good, which made Ji Guangchen even more despised Li Guangbi in his heart.

He looked at the letter again, and it was Li Guangbi's promise. If Ji Guangchen was willing to surrender, he would recommend that he still be the governor of Zheng Cai and reward him with a reward of 50,000 yuan. He would never go back on his word and hope that he would consider his future carefully.

This promise was expected by Ji Guangchen, but he saw a clue from this incident. This should be Li Qing'an's intention. He wanted to successfully solve his army, but Li Guangbi was eager to seek credit, so he sent someone to convince himself first.

Is it really that simple?

Although Ji Guangchen looked down on Li Guangbi a little, he knew that Li Qing'an was so powerful that he could despise Li Guangbi, but he did not dare to despise Li Qing'an.

Ji Guangchen walked slowly in the tent with his hands behind his back. He was repeatedly considering Li Qing'an's true intentions. Li Qing'an's Eastern Expedition obviously wanted to recruit 150,000 troops left by Li Heng in the Central Plains. He brought not many troops into Guanzhong. He heard that there were only 100,000 people. These 100,000 people were obviously far from enough to deal with An Lushan's 500,000 troops. The acquisition of 150,000 troops will greatly enhance his strength. In addition, Li Qing'an certainly would not give up the more than one million stones of grain from Xingyang.

‘The strategy to stabilize the army!’

Ji Guangchen's heart was filled with lightning, which made him extremely excited. He quickly walked to the map, and he felt that he had seen through Li Qing'an's true intentions.

Among the 150,000 troops left by Li Heng in the Central Plains, in addition to the 30,000 troops of Li Huan in Hanzhong, there are 20,000 troops of Dong Qin in Hedong, and his own 30,000 troops, and Xu Shuji's 70,000 troops. Xu Shuji is now the governor of Huapu. In fact, his jurisdiction also includes Bian, Cao, Song, Yan, and Xu. Among the four warlords, Xu Shuji is the largest force, with the largest army and the widest sphere of influence.

The first thing Li Qing'an should deal with should be him rather than himself. If he attacks himself first, he will inevitably alert the enemy, force Xu Shuji to An Lushan, Hebei, or defect to King Li Lin of Wu, so Li Qing'an asked Li Guangbi to stabilize himself first.

That should be the case. Ji Guangchen sneered coldly. No matter how cunning Li Qingan was, he could not escape his own eyes. Didn’t he hope so?

All he needs now is time. If he can delay another half a month, Li Heng will be the first to attack Jingxiang. At that time, he can attack from the north. Not only can he get rid of Li Qing'an's threat, but also make great achievements. Li Heng is likely to let him guard Jingxiang.

At this moment, a scout came to report, "Report to the general, we found a large army walking along the Yellow River to the north and heading towards Huazhou."

"It's true that's not what I expected!"

Ji Guangchen was very surprised. He really saw through Li Qing'an's intentions. They really wanted to stabilize themselves, and the army went to surrender Xu Shuji's army.

He immediately wrote a letter and handed it to a personal soldier and said, "Go to Chenliu quickly and hand it over to Xu Shuji, telling him to be careful of Li Qing'an's sneak attack."

Ji Guangchen walked slowly to the tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the north and murmured to himself: "Go and fight! I'll be able to get a big deal after a month."

Just before Cai Jinglun, aide sent by Li Guangbi, went to Xingyang, Li Guangbi's 20,000 troops had quietly left Luoyang, circled around Dengfeng County to the south, and detoured north along the Songshan Path. The army rushed straight to Xingyang. The 20,000 cavalrymen hid in the day and night, without walking on the official road, and picked up remote paths. In just two days, the army arrived in a valley thirty miles south of Xingyang. This was a hilly area, with deep valleys and many caves and dense forests. The nearest official road was also twenty miles away, and it was very remote. There was only a small village with more than a hundred families, called Huancui Village, which was rarely visited.

It was almost dawn, and Li Guangbi ordered 20,000 troops to be stationed on the spot and sent hundreds of scouts to block the news everywhere. This place was very close to Xingyang County. Once Ji Guangchen discovered it, he would probably have been wasted all his previous efforts.

Li Guangbi stood in front of the map and carefully studied the route of march. This action plan was proposed by him and approved by Li Qing'an. Before leaving Chang'an, Li Guangbi carefully studied these Li Heng's generals. Ji Guangchen was from the military strategy department of Wuju and was familiar with military books. He was said to be very wise, handsome, slender and tall, and was known as the most beautiful man in the Chang'an army.

But Li Guangbi paid more attention to his weaknesses. His weaknesses were obvious. He stayed in Beijing for a long time and basically had no practical experience. Secondly, this person was more conceited and always looked down on the border generals. In the sixth year of Tianbao, An Sishun celebrated his birthday in Chang'an and invited all the military generals in Chang'an. Almost everyone went there, but Ji Guangchen did not go. He criticized An Sishun and Geshuhan more than once.

He looked down on old men like An Sishun and Ge Shuhan, let alone himself. Li Guangbi seized Ji Guangchen's weakness and specially sent his stuttering aide Cai Jinglun to negotiate with Ji Guangchen to be arrogant.

At this time, Cai Jinglun should have arrived in Xingyang County, so Li Guangbi waited for darkness. At this time, several personal soldiers brought the village chief of Huancui Village in.

The village chief's surname is Chen, who is about fifty years old and is very honest and honest. When he came in, he knelt down and said, "Little Min Chen Sanlang bowed to the general."

"Captain Chen, please get up!"

Li Guangbi smiled and helped him up and said, "Please rest assured first. Our Anxi Army has always been strict in military discipline and will never harm the people."

"Xiaomin believes that the officers and soldiers have not violated them yet."

Li Guangbi smiled and asked again, "Then why do you make a living? Are there any outsiders coming often?"

"Report to the general, our place is called Huancuiyu, with deep valleys and dense forests, and abundant medicinal materials. People in our village make a living by collecting herbs. Every ten days, they will go to Xingyang County to sell medicine and buy some daily needs. Generally, outsiders rarely come to us, and only occasionally have drug dealers and peddlers."

"Have the drug dealer and the peddler come?" Li Guangbi asked again.

"The drug dealer hasn't been here for a month. The peddler just left the day before yesterday. It will take at least three days to come next time."

Li Guangbi nodded, he pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Why do you go from here to Xingyang?"

The village chief said: "We usually go to the official road first and go to Xingyang along the official road. Although we go around a little, the official road is flat and fast. It will arrive in at most one and a half hours. If you don't want to walk the official road, then take a small road. Although it is close, it will take two hours to go."

When Li Guangbi heard that there was a small path, he couldn't help but feel happy and asked quickly: "Can the small path be taken?"

"Yes, we all rode horses to Xingyang, but there was only a distance that required a ten-mile walk."

Li Guangbi immediately made a decision, and he said to the village chief: "The village chief can find us two guides and take us to Xingyang tonight. I will repay you very much afterwards."

"No problem, my son often takes small roads to Xingyang and asks him to take the general to go."
