Chapter 188 Wolf in the Jungle 1
Chapter 188: The Wolf in the Jungle 1
This is a vast mountain. Summer makes this forest so dense that the sunlight can hardly penetrate the leaves.
This was originally a forest without any people, and a paradise for birds and beasts.
But a few days ago, a mysterious team broke into this forest and stationed at the small river in the forest. They were like wolves in the jungle, and the birds and beasts instinctively felt a little danger from these people and escaped.
And this team is the more than a thousand people led by Jiang Lang.
When entering the city, the spies arranged by Jiang Chengzhian had already sent back a lot of news, many of which were about the Wassau army secretly preparing siege equipment and other things. At this moment, the third prince and Jiang Chengzhi had to believe that Jiang Lang's words were true and began to plan. Jiang Chengzhi was just a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, and he did not believe anything. The third prince said that those people were just skeptical about what the third prince said. Moreover, the government affairs were controlled by Wang Zhen. He now thought about how to make himself retire and return home in a decent manner. The third prince said that the Wassau general was attacking the Ming Dynasty, which made Wang Zhen very unbearable. So he insisted that the information was fake, and instead questioned the third prince that he had just asked the government affairs, why did he say that the Wassau wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty?
The two of them were also in a stalemate, but now the court is full of Wang Zhen’s people, and how many people can help the third prince. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to face disaster, these people were unmoved. The third prince was angry and felt helpless.
As for Jiang Lang, he didn't care about the affairs in the court. What was destined to happen was about to happen. Just like watching a TV series, there were already arrangements for how the plot went. It was enough to be an audience. Moreover, he couldn't get involved in the affairs in the court. So he worked hard day and night to train more than a thousand people under his command, and at the same time, he also had a plan for how he went.
Once Wang Zhen is eliminated, someone in the court urgently needs to stabilize the court, and the third prince has the best chance. When he appears with the emperor's benefactor to save the people, he will naturally easily reach the high position. He does not like the power Jianglang, but he also knows one thing: he has no rights and he can only be bullied.
Time was getting closer. Some time ago, Jiang Lang took his troops and horses, and after obtaining the consent of Yingzong, he rushed out of Xuanfu overnight in the name of training, came to the mountains and forests, and hid it. He had few people, and in that kind of war of tens of thousands of people, he was like a drop in the ocean. He was not a big hero, so he could only be used as a surprise soldier. The use of surprise soldier was nothing more than harassing the enemy's rear and attacking his supplies. To maintain the army's combat, he had to stop supplying supplies continuously. Once the supply was interrupted, the entire army would be like a tank without oil. Even if it had combat power, it could not be exerted.
In order to hide this army, Jiang Lang and others began to plan early on to build a base in this uninhabited forest, hiding a large amount of food. After all, there is still a long time before he and others attack. The food they brought alone is not enough. Now is not the time to train these soldiers to survive in the wild. The so-called good generals are not short of hungry soldiers. As for the future, Jiang Lang also had an idea, that is, to fight to support the war. His goal is mainly the enemy's supply line, which can naturally provide sufficient food and grass.
Of course, as for how to do it in the capital, Jianglang, the Third Prince and others had already planned. On the day Yingzong was surrounded, it was the time to eliminate Wang Zhen’s remaining forces in the palace. At this time, the biggest role was Yu Qian, the Minister of War. In addition to the Imperial Guardian, there were also a large number of troops guarding the city. At that time, these soldiers would become the best force to eliminate Wang Zhen’s power. Moreover, after Yingzong personally fought, Cheng Wang served as the governor. Although this person was a little timid, he was not the kind of person who was unreasonable and could easily convince him.
As for the soldiers surrounded by Tumu Fort, Jiang Lang had no intention of asking them to sacrifice in vain, so he suggested to Jiang Chengzhi that Zheng Baichuan should be with him no matter what, and that the emperor personally fought for the Jinyi Guard was escorting him. Of course, the most important point was that only Zheng Baichuan knew the detailed location of the well he dug a year ago, and in the Tumu Fort incident, water was the most important issue. However, this water must be killed by Wang Zhen by Fan Zhong.
Now, if calculated based on time, the thorns had already started attacking the Ming Dynasty a few days ago.
In order not to notice the activities of his and others, the soldiers hiding in the jungle had cancelled the large-scale training and instead used a team to train themselves. Jiang Lang was now sitting on a big rock by the river, looking at the letter of home that had just been brought. Next to him was a watermelon. Although it was cut open, it was not passive.
The letter from home was written by Zi Ling. Jiang Lang could see Zi Ling's handwritten letter at a glance. There was not much content in the letter, and there was no question about Jiang Lang where he went, but just told Jiang Lang to be careful and so on.
Looking at the letter, Jiang Lang couldn't help feeling a little warmth, and at the same time felt a little guilty. He was pregnant for ten months. Now Zi Ling is about to give birth, but as a husband, he cannot wait next to his wife. This made Jiang Lang feel very guilty about Zi Ling. Although Zi Ling did not complain in the letter, Jiang Lang knew at that time that Zi Ling also wanted to stay by her side, but the overall situation was the priority. Although Zi Ling did not ask, it can be seen from the frequent meeting between Jiang Lang and the third prince that he was planning a major event. Even on the day he left, he did not ask too much, but just told him to be careful all the way.
Looking at this short letter of home again, Jiang Lang carefully folded the letter and placed it in his close-fitting clothes, as if he was afraid of being broken. Sun Yuanbiao, who was standing next to Jiang Lang, was no longer surprised by Jiang Lang's behavior, and this letter of home was brought by him from the capital.
After collecting the letter from home, Jiang Lang turned his head slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Have Qian Zhengbang been back yet?"
Sun Yuanbiao, who was standing next to Jianglang, immediately said: "I got the news half an hour ago. According to his journey, I should be about to arrive here now!"
Hearing the word Jiang Lang nodded and then asked, "How much time does the people sent to Datong have to do?"
Sun Yuanbiao did not hesitate at all and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should have arrived today."
"This is the best!"
Jiang Lang was quite convinced of the first hundred people, and he had no doubt about Sun Yuanbiao's words. After turning around, Jiang Lang turned his eyes to the river. There were a few small fish in the clear river water. Even if a leaf fell, he was so shocked that he fled everywhere. In fact, it was not that the water was clear that there were no fish, but that the water was too clear and he could not catch fish at all. To catch fish, he had to be confused. The so-called fishing water, and what he and others had to do now was fishing water. When they first focused their energy on the army of the court, they did not have much time to care about their small team. When he cared about it, his goal had been achieved and he retired.
The current Ming Dynasty court was also disturbed by Wang Zhen.
After watching for a while, Jiang Lang asked again: "What's the movement in the court?"
"I didn't have it when my subordinates left."
Sun Yuanbiao immediately said, "The news of the attack on Xuanfu first did not reach the court at that time."
At this moment, a soldier came up and reported, "Sir Qi, Lord Qian is back!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lang turned around suddenly and saw Qian Zhengbang and others panting towards him. Only then did he feel relieved. The Xuan Mansion was broken, Jiang Lang knew it long ago, so he didn't care about this, but the lives of Qian Zhengbang and others.
"Your Honor……!"
Qian Zhengbang didn't have time to rest, so he hurriedly said.
Jiang Lang waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, take a break and eat some melons!"
Sun Yuanbiao's next to him immediately picked up the melon, Qian Zhengbang and others one by one, and then smiled and said, "Sir, you have already confirmed that you will come back, so the melon is ready. It's just taken out of the stream, but it's still cold."
Qian Zhengbang was not polite, thanked him, took the melon and started eating. He was really thirsty all the way, and they knew the character of Jianglang and Jianglang. If he refused, he would not be happy.
After eating the melon, Qian Zhengbang wiped his mouth with his sleeve and then said: "Sir, Xuan Mansion was broken, the guard Chen Hai, and the garrison Lord Chen committed suicide at the top of the city. Only less than 10,000 troops in the city remained in less than 10,000 of which were left to escape, and only a few of them were left!"
“How long have they been?”
Jiang Lang asked again: "According to Xuanfu's city defense, a few days is not a problem."
"one day!"
