252. Chapter 251
The foreign mission departed from the capital and arrived at Hanjin Pass about two months later, and after leaving Hanjin Pass, it was the border between Loulan and Guizi. But after arriving at Hanjin Pass, An Sui learned that after the Hanjin Pass was lost, Chen Ping, the general of the Zhenguo State, was soon transferred from Jindi to Hanjin Pass to guard it, and soon took back Hanjin Pass, but the loss of Hanjin Pass was not small, Lou Lan's army was stationed outside Hanjin Pass, and the mission was trapped in Hanjin Pass, and it was temporarily impossible to leave Hanjin Pass to go to the northern land.
An Sui and the others temporarily stopped at Hanjin Pass, and by the way, they stayed at the border to inspect Lou Lan's military and morals, which would always have a lot of benefits for Lou Lan's foreign affairs in the future.
Zhenguo General Chen Ping and An Sui's father An Yuwen used to be good friends, and later An Xu also had a little more care and promotion after joining the army, and now he saw the daughter of his friend, he was naturally very happy, and he was called "niece" again and again.
Chen Ping, the general of Zhenguo, took An Sui to the top of the city tower, and looked down from the city tower, Lou Lan's camp was only thirty miles away from the city gate. From a distance, the camp tent of Lou Lan's army marched neatly and the military discipline was strict. Even Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh, "Lou Lan has changed a lot over the years, in terms of marching and fighting, Murong Heng is indeed powerful, and this batch of soldiers trained is also inferior to our Dachu." Just looking at the establishment of this military camp, it is very exquisite. β
"My niece doesn't know about this march and battle, and she has to ask her uncle for guidance."
Chen Ping pointed to the barracks and said, "First look at this from west to east, in fact, it is a long snake formation, and then look at the east to west is the same, but in the middle circle, this is the prototype of a gossip array, the furnishings of this camp are to prevent the attack on the barracks, we take defense as attack, and they also take defense as attack." Both sides are now waiting for the best opportunity to win in one fell swoop. And the biggest advantage of this camp arrangement is that it greatly weakens the role of our spies. Knowing oneself and knowing the other side is the best policy, our spies have always been Lou Lan's most fearful, and the decoration of his camp has greatly weakened this advantage of his own. β
An Sui then understood the doorway, "In this way, it is really powerful." It seems that they also know the art of war. I just don't know who is so powerful? β
"It's Murong Heng! He did it himself! Chen Ping said, "Everyone in Loulan calls him King Heng, and he is very respected by the people of Loulan, and he is a promising monarch." Moreover, he is strategic, measured, and very fond of Sinology, and has a hand in marching and fighting. β
When Chen Ping said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at An Sui before continuing, "Looking at his marching style, there is a bit of your father's legacy, and it is quite similar to your brother.
Chen Ping's words seemed to be unintentional, and it seemed to be deliberately said to An Sui, who naturally understood, "If your uncle has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, and you must know everything." β
Chen Ping nodded, turned his head to look around the environment, and made sure that no one was within ten meters of them, then he lowered his voice and asked, "When your father was trapped in Lou Lan for more than two years, did he become the emperor of the Lou Lan royal family or the crown prince or something?" β
An Sui hesitated to answer.
Chen Ping frowned slightly and said, "I am friends with your father in life and death, and I will definitely not teach a third person what you said today." Even your brother may not know about this, but I just speculate in my heart that you followed your father to Loulan in the first place, so I asked you. If that's the case, I'll know a little bit about it. β
An Sui raised her eyes and saw the sincerity in Chen Ping's eyes, and she understood that he was not deceiving her.
An Sui finally shook his head, "When I was in Loulan, I was still very young, and many things were actually not clear, as for the things you suspected, uncle, I can't say for sure whether there are or not." β
An Sui's words were half-truths and half-truths, even if Chen Ping really regarded An Yuwen as a brother, An Sui still didn't dare to tell him what she knew. It's about her father's reputation in this life, and she can't afford to gamble and doesn't dare to gamble.
But fortunately, Chen Ping has an upright temperament and believes An Sui's words, after all, An Sui was only a six or seven-year-old girl at that time, and what she can know may not be able to remember something. What's more, An Sui didn't completely deny it, this should also be the greatest honesty to him.
Chen Ping nodded, "That's right." β
Although Chen Ping was not suspicious, An Sui tossed and turned in the tent, and it was difficult to sleep.
Murong Heng, this name is so familiar. Could it be the same person back then?
An Sui wasn't sure.
When An Yuwen was in Loulan, he did have a New Year's friend, and the name of the person more than 20 years ago was Rong Heng. She was only five years old when she met him, and he was fifteen.
After An Yuwen rescued him from the brink of life and death, he became his father's student. His identity is very mysterious, he will never talk about his past, she knows very little, although he is from Loulan, but his mother is a Han Chinese. Rong Heng grew up in the territory of Da Chu since he was a child, and after his mother died, he returned to Loulan to find his father and stayed in Loulan. However, he was not the only son in his father's family, and once his father left the house, his brother and brother would try to torture him and try to drive him out of the house.
The reason is only because he is a combination of Lou Lan and Han people, and it is the shame of Lou Lan. is also because his father regards him as a treasure and intends to pass on the family business to him.
This qiΔ became his mistake.
When Rong Heng was rescued, his body was full of scars, of different shades, and the last time, he was poisoned by his mother and brother, and he was almost thrown into the wild.
It was also at that time that An Yuwen invited Lou Lan's secret doctor to treat him, and that secret doctor also studied the original prescription of the ghost play pill according to Rong Heng's situation. It was that pill that saved An Yuwen and An Sui's lives.
During the time when An Yuwen was trapped in Lou Lan, Rong Heng was always by An Yuwen's side, An Yuwen and Rong Heng were also teachers and friends, An Yuwen taught him a lot of Sinology culture, and Rong Heng also let An Yuwen learn a lot about Lou Lan's culture and geography.
Rong Heng not only has the elegance of the Han people, but also the mystery and pride of the Loulan people. In the time when his father was not around, those memories were full of Rong Heng.
He likes to eat wine and stuff dumplings, he likes to wear light purple clothes, his favorite musical instrument is the guqin, his favorite is Go, his favorite is to read "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan", the most admired soldier is Sun Bin, the most admired king is Ju Jian, and the biggest expectation is the unification of Lou Lan.
Rong Heng is also the first story about Lou Lan for An Sui.
An Sui really couldn't remember where Rong Heng disappeared during Lou Lan's last period of time, so many years have passed, and An Sui has not been able to figure out what secrets are hidden in Rong Heng's body.
But if Murong Heng is Rong Heng, then is the era name Da'an to commemorate his father?
Over the years, although her mind was not on Lou Lan, she could often hear news about Murong Heng from afar. Murong Heng's ascension to the throne was not justified, but for Lou Lan, every word was to speak by force, and he launched a coup d'Γ©tat to kill Murong Chong, who was supposed to be the heir, and thus ascended to the throne of Lou Lan's monarch. In the three years of his reign, he recovered all the clans within Lou Lan by vigorous and resolute means, and highly concentrated power in his own hands. In his hands, Lou Lan has indeed become the real confidant of Great Chu, in the past few years, An Sui has used commercial means to tie the interests of the northern countries and the interests of Great Chu together, and used economic means to establish a new alliance and vassal territory with the head of Great Chu. This point may also pose a great threat to Lou Lan, so that although Guizi has the blessing of Great Chu over the years, the northern countries have still received a lot of military threats from Lou Lan.
If Rong Heng is really Murong Heng, then wouldn't his father become a sinner through the ages? And the reputation of the An family will also become the sinner of Da Chu again because of the emperor of the enemy country.
If Rong Heng is really Murong Heng, then his father's death is inseparable from him, and the almost complete annihilation of the foreign affairs mission is also inseparable from him. An Sui didn't know what would happen if one day she really had to face Rong Heng, who had become Murong Heng?
In this way, there is no sleep all night.
Although An Sui knew that he might have to uncover this mystery in person one day, he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
After staying at Hanjin Pass for nearly a month, An Sui decided to lead the mission to the land of Guizi. However, they were afraid that Loulan's army would take action to stop the mission, so the mission divided into two routes, one route to Loulan through Hanjin Pass, and the other way to Guizi through Jindi, and the remaining number of each regiment was served by soldiers in the army. First, it is to hide people's eyes, and secondly, for the sake of safety, it is better to have the protection of soldiers. Although An Sui has the protection of Mo Ye by his side, it is not good to show up from time to time so as not to expose his identity, which will arouse suspicion.
Originally, he was just prepared with both hands, but he didn't want the Lou Lan army to really send people to intercept the mission, An Sui and the others, except for the two messengers who were protected by the soldiers and broke out of the encirclement, the other four An Sui, Yin Qingcheng, Chen Sixuan and Lin Muzhi all fell into the hands of the Lou Lan army. All the soldiers were able to escape, and the rest were already dead.
An and the others were brought into Lou Lan's military camp blindfolded. An Sui only felt that he was thrown to the ground by a strong force, and then his eyes lit up, and the four of them glanced at each other, and they all understood the situation in front of them, obviously they had been robbed to Lou Lan's military camp.
After confirming the current situation, An Sui's heart was settled, and the current situation, with four people to keep the remaining fourteen people in the mission safe, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune! All the important paperwork was given to the fourteen people. In order to keep the mission of the fourteen people safe, An Sui specially delayed this group for nearly six days before setting off from Hanjin Pass.
Looking at the arrangement of the Lou Lan military camp, it was obvious that these four people were members of the mission, but they didn't know what the current situation of the other mission was, which was what An Sui was most worried about.
