Chapter 204 Unchangeable History 2
Chapter 204: Unchanged History 2
Two days later.
After completing the assassination of Wang Zhen, Jiang Lang met with his troops as soon as possible, and then targeted Yesian's grain transport troops. Now they are hiding in a forest. According to reconnaissance, at dusk today, a pair of thorny grain transport teams escorted by about a thousand people will pass by here. The dense trees here provide a good hidden place for the ambush.
Except for some people who were guarding around, the rest were basically resting, and then waited for the arrival of the enemy in a little bored or expectant manner. They would also usher in their first battle. Before that, Jiang Lang's order was to rest.
In the face of a war, no matter who is nervous, but excessive tension can only bring negative effects. However, for these soldiers who have been almost called harsh training in Jianglang, they all have a hint of expectation for the upcoming war, just like a growing beast, hoping to prove their growth through hunting.
For Jiang Lang, the upcoming battle did not make him nervous at all. After all, he was able to be considered a battle. Now he is carefully wiping the spear in his hand. Although he has been following Jiang Lang for nearly two years, the spear is still as bright as new. The tiny scars left in the battle were asked by the craftsmen to carefully deal with them before Jiang Lang set off.
After wiping, Jiang Lang gently stroked the handle of the gun with his hand, and a slight cool air came from the cold gun body. Jiang Lang couldn't help feeling proud in his heart. He immediately stood up, shouted lightly, and a retaliation spear, and the spear pierced fiercely at the trees beside him like lightning. He was covered in a dull sound, and the spear had already pierced deeply into the trunk.
"General, good kung fu!"
Qian Zhengbang's voice came from beside him, and then there was a slight applause.
Jiang Lang shook his hand, pulled out the spear with a little force, and then carefully wiped off the tree juice from the tip of the spear. Then he turned his head slightly and asked, "How is the situation going?"
Qian Zhengbang immediately said in a deep voice: "General, you have found out now that the emperor's army is trapped in Tumu Fort! It has been surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the thorns."
"What?"
Jiang Lang was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ponder: If the culprit of the Tumu Fort incident was Wang Zhen, and now that Wang Zhen has been killed, then the "cause" of the Tumu Fort incident is gone, how could there be such a "result"? Is there any variable in this? Or is Wang Zhen not dead at all?
Jiang Lang couldn't help but wonder whether Wang Zhen was really dead that night, but he was still quite confident about himself, and the person who assassinated that night was indeed Wang Zhen.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Lang felt that he had no clue at all, and then asked: "Tell me what I believe!"
After saying that, he handed the spear in his hand to Sun Yuanbiao next to him and sat on the ground.
Qian Zhengbang immediately said: "A big incident happened in the military camp the day before yesterday. Wang Zhen was assassinated in his camp, and he was discovered the next morning. The emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate the murderer immediately, but he was stopped by Kuang Kun and Wang Zuo. He believed that the most important thing at the moment was not to investigate the murderer thoroughly, but should return to the army immediately and avoid the pursuers of Washu first."
Jiang Lang couldn't help but nodded. The so-called matter is prioritized. Compared to pursuing the murderer, the most important thing is to withdraw troops as soon as possible. After replenishing supplies, he will sort out the army and block the attack of the Wastu army according to the advantages of the Ming city wall. After slashing his spirit, he is looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
As for the murderer, Jiang Lang doesn't care, he is anyway.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, things seem to be not going so smoothly, and Jiang Lang has no plans to say Qian Zhengbang, so he asked him to continue.
Seeing that Jiang Lang did not speak, Qian Zhengbang continued: "Originally, the emperor planned to do this, and was investigating the murderer when the safety was safe, but he did not expect that Peng Deqing and others came out, pointing to Sang and scolding Huaihuai and saying that it was Lord Wang Zuo and others instructing people to kill Wang Zhen. The emperor believed it all, so he asked someone to take down several adults and plan to investigate the matter!"
"Damn it!"
Hearing this Jiang Lang cursing suddenly, he felt anger inexplicably in his heart, and a feeling of regret that he could not be strong. He originally hoped to change history by eliminating Wang Zhen, so that Yingzong would not become a prisoner of Wats, and then he would not be imprisoned by the later Emperor Jingtai for nearly eight years. According to Jiang Lang's plan, as long as Wang Zhen was eliminated, Kuang Kun, Wang Zuo and other adults could only have real power. It was not too late to rely on them to defeat Wats, but at least it could guarantee that Watss was escaping the pursuit. However, Jiang Lang did not expect that Yingzong would believe the words of Peng Deqing and the others and imprison the two adults, and could not distinguish between the primary and secondary.
"It's true!"
Qian Zhengbang also spoke, saying, "For this reason, the entire army was even more leaderless. The emperor did not know how to march and fight. Moreover, the morale of the army was even more chaotic and there were more deserters. After finally reaching Tumu Fort, he was surrounded by Yesian's army before he could enter Huailai City and could not move!"
Speaking of this, Qian Zhengbang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Tumu Fort is only a few dozen miles away from Huailai City. If the emperor did not delay entering Huailai City, how could he end up in this way?"
Jiang Lang was even more speechless now, and he couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He originally thought that the history might change after assassinating Wang Zhen, and the Tumu Fort incident might not happen. Although this was a little different from the original plan, Jiang Lang felt relieved when he thought that he could save many lives, but he did not expect to deal with Wang Zhen, which caused other things to happen. In the end, the history still came to its original position. The Tumu Fort incident that originally thought it would not have to happen still happened according to a fixed trick. However, in history books, Wang Zhen's direct reason became because of Wang Zhen's assassination. This gave people the feeling that a stone was encountered on the road. After a bend, history moved according to its original trajectory.
After a slight pause, Jiang Lang stood up, took a deep breath, and then asked: "How is the situation of Lord Kuang, Lord Wang and others now?"
"What else can it be done?"
Qian Zhengbang said a little indifferently: "Now the emperor is surrounded by Yesian's army, it is difficult for the clay Buddha to cross the river to protect himself. He is as anxious as an ants on a hot pan. So when is there any time to take care of Lord Kuang and Lord Wang? But now they have no hands, I guess this defeat will be a matter of time!"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but frowned and said, "The emperor has no intention of using the two adults? After all, marching and fighting are their strengths!"
Qian Zhengbang shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but even if the emperor lets Lord Kuang take control of military power now, it's too late. He is not a god. Can he escape the emperor under the siege of the Washu army?"
"This is God's will!"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Forget it, let's go whatever you want! I hope there is a good rest in the capital now!"
If the news of Wang Zhen being assassinated is probably good, I should have arrived in the capital today. Then today's capital should be the time to take action. Now that Wang Zhen is killed and the emperor is trapped, Wang Zhen's accomplices have lost their backers. Compared to the fully prepared third prince and others, it would be a trivial matter to eradicate these people. Of course, it is inevitable that this bleeding is bleeding.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Qian Zhengbang also asked at this time.
Jiang Lang raised his head, the sun was gradually setting westward, and it was about to be dark in about an hour, and the teams of the thorn-carrying grain transporters who were transporting grains were probably not far from here. Now, put aside the melancholy caused by the unchanged history in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Call all brothers to have a meal and send someone to inquire carefully. If the teams of the thorn-carrying grain transporters appear, report immediately!"
"yes!"
Qian Zhengbang immediately went to convey Jiang Lang's order, and then the soldiers who were originally resting quietly began to eat one after another.
Then Sun Yuanbiao asked: "General, now the emperor is trapped in Tumu Fort, will we go and save him?"
"How to save?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but ask, "The emperor surrounded now is Yesian's army of more than 100,000. Our number of people is just seeking death to save the emperor. The so-called good steel is used for good blades. This general cannot use his brother's lives to do things that are impossible to do. Moreover, the emperor is young and energetic now, so he will suffer!"
Sun Yuanbiao was suddenly moved and then said, "Will Yesen kill the emperor?"
