388. The identity of the fine work
In the Youzhou army camp outside Pengcheng, King Yan's face was still a little pale, but his face, which was emaciated by serious injuries, was full of happy smiles at this time. Leaning on the edge of the soft couch, he shook the letter in his hand and laughed loudly. The generals present looked at each other, and some didn't understand why the prince was so big. But it's always a good thing to make the prince so happy, right?
"Lord Wang? I don't know what the joy is? Chen Yu asked curiously.
King Yan smiled: "Isn't it a happy event, a great happy event." Yuan Chun led an army of 600,000 trapped at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, unable to advance or retreat. Haha, this is a happy event? β
Everyone present was shocked in their hearts. Yuan Chun led hundreds of thousands of troops to the west, and they had been worried about whether Xue Zhen, who was stationed in Yingchuan, could hold it, but now the whole army of the Duke of Eguo was trapped? How can it be!
King Ning played with the folding fan in his hand, looked at King Yan with a smile and said, "Third brother, there is a great merit of the younger brother here." β
King Yan glanced at King Ning with a smile and said, "This time it is indeed thanks to the seventeenth brother." "If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of troops of Tainingwei, with only the Chenzhou army and the Youzhou army in the hands of Xue Zhen, it would be whimsical to want to trap Yuanchun's 600,000 soldiers and horses. Looking at Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo who were sitting on the side, King Yan's eyes flashed with relief, "Jun'er, you should take the lead this time." If you hadn't anticipated the enemy's opportunity, maybe this time, you would have really succeeded Xiao Qianye's child. Wei Junmo said indifferently;" Yuanchun's target was Chenzhou, not Yingchuan. The mother and two children are in Chenzhou, and what Jun Mo did is just a matter of duty. β
Everyone was shocked, they thought that this was the prince's foresight, but they didn't expect that the person behind the scenes turned out to be Wei Gongzi. Wei Gongzi is far away in Pengcheng, and he can really win thousands of miles away. That's the founding general of the country, the spring of the Common Era. Looking at the boy in Tsing Yi who was sitting under King Yan with a cold expression and a handsome appearance, all the generals present couldn't help but feel a little awe and admiration in their hearts. Wei Junmo rose too fast, even if he didn't rely on the status of King Yan to take shortcuts, even if he could almost be called undefeated, but in the end he was too young. Many generals are convinced on the surface, but they may not be really convinced in their hearts. But at this time, no matter what position he took or how many great feats he had, he still couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration for the cold man in front of him.
It was Chen Yu who reacted first, and smiled at Wei Junmo: "Wei Gongzi is strategizing, and the last general will admire it." β
Wei Junmo nodded slightly, "General Chen is polite." β
Xiao Qianjiong's young face was full of curiosity, "Cousin, how did you know that Xiao Qianye would attack Chenzhou first?" β
Wei Junmo said indifferently: "He first released the news that Yuanchun rushed to attack Yingchuan, attracting the defenders of Chenzhou to come out of Qingyun Mountain to help." When Chenzhou is empty, wouldn't it be easy to take the opportunity to take Chenzhou? Compared with Yingchuan, which is waiting for the Dan, Chenzhou is better to start, and the benefits are more. "Chenzhou has Princess Changping and two children, and it is still Wei Junmo's base camp, as long as these three people are caught, no matter how powerful Wei Junmo is, he has to throw a mouse. What's more, with Xiao Qianye's jealousy of Wei Junmo, Wei Junmo can naturally bet on which side he will choose between Yingchuan and Chenzhou at a critical time.
Xiao Qianchi said: "So, before my cousin said that General Shang supported Yingchuan and Uncle Ning's Tai Ningwei arrived in half a month, it was a lie?" β
Nangong Mo smiled and said: "It's not a lie, General Shang did bring people to Qingyun Mountain." If Yuan Chun went straight to Yingchuan, General Shang would naturally lead troops to support. But if Yuan Chun didn't go, General Shang would naturally have to turn back. As for His Royal Highness King Taining Weining, he didn't say whether Taining Wei went to Chenzhou or Pengcheng. β
However, His Royal Highness King Ning is here, and we all think that Tai Ningwei is here to support Pengcheng!
King Ning glanced at Nangong Mo with a smile and said with a smile: "Well, it's just that this king didn't expect these boys to be so able to run, and the original half-month road actually took two or three days." β
"Does Tai Ningwei have wheels under his feet, or has wings on his back for fifteen days, and can he arrive in two or three days?" We have less knowledge, you have less donkey to me.
"But Chenzhou's side won a big victory. What to do with Pengcheng? A general couldn't help but ask. Chenzhou besieged Yuanchun's 600,000 troops, but these did not help Pengcheng's current situation. Shao Zhong in Pengcheng is still impregnable, and outside Pengcheng, Nangong Huai's hundreds of thousands of troops are eyeing him.
Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I will leave for Chenzhou tonight." β
King Ning raised his eyebrows, "You plan to use yourself to lure Nangong Huai's soldiers and horses away?" β
Wei Junmo glanced at him lightly and didn't speak.
"Now that His Royal Highness King Ning is here, it is not a problem to deal with Shao Zhong and Nangong Huaizi. If you can win Yuanchun in one fell swoop" Listening to King Ning's words, many people were a little moved. It must be known that if Yuan Chun can be killed or captured alive, the blow to the morale of the imperial court will definitely be much greater than the capture of Pengcheng.
King Yan frowned and was just about to speak, when he heard Wei Junmo say in a deep voice: "It's so decided." Go ahead and prepare! β
"This" Everyone hesitated, and looked at King Yan in unison. His Royal Highness King Yan obviously has something to say. Although they all felt that Wei Gongzi's plan was very good, after all, King Yan was the supreme commander of the Youzhou Army.
King Yan looked at Wei Junmo and was silent for a moment before saying, "You go down first." β
"Yes, lord."
Everyone retired in unison, leaving only Wei Junmo and his wife Chen Yu and His Royal Highness King Ning and the three brothers of the Xiao family who were cheeky and did not leave.
"Jun'er, you can't leave the army now!" When everyone retreated, King Yan glared at Wei Junmo categorically.
Xiao Qianjiong was a little puzzled, "But my father and sons also think that my cousin's mention is very good." Even if Shang Rong trapped the Duke of E, it would definitely take a lot of time to wipe out the 600,000 army. Wouldn't it be a failure if the imperial court reinforcements went? With a cousin in charge, he will definitely be able to win Yuanchun along the way! Weichen is willing to go to Chenzhou with his cousin! Speaking of this, Xiao Qianjiong's face was full of excitement, this kid has now reached the point of admiration for Wei Junmo.
King Yan glanced at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If this king can't say it, it's not allowed!" The Youzhou army has already changed its commander once because of the serious injury of this king. What kind of system did the two or three temporary changes of commander become? β
Everyone looked at Wei Junmo together, and Wei Gongzi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Uncle don't be angry, I don't want to leave." β
Well?
Everyone was puzzled, and Wei Junmo said: "Didn't my uncle always want to know who the fine work in the army is?" The people present were all old men who had been with their uncle for a long time, but only they had access to military secrets. They are the only ones who know that we have formed an alliance with King Ning, how could he not take action when he gets such important news this time? β
Everyone was silent, only King Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "I have been deceived by you several times, do you think he will still be fooled?" β
"Therefore, I have to bother His Royal Highness King Ning to go there in person." Wei Gongzi is naturally authentic.
His Royal Highness King Ning was furious, "This king has only been here for five days!" β
"Well, you've been idle for five days. Chenzhou and Eguo Gong were handed over to His Royal Highness King Ning. Wei Gongzi nodded. His Royal Highness King Ning gritted his teeth, "This king must sell all of your Chenzhou to Xiao Qianye." β
King Yan was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement, and nodded: "Seventeenth brother, since this is the case, I will bother you to take a trip, right?" β
The "third brother", His Royal Highness King Ning is very resentful. King Yan smiled and said: "Jun'er is also a good intention, does the seventeenth brother think that he will command Taining Wei Shunshou or command Youzhou Wei Shunshou?" β
King Ning's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at King Yan and said, "Third brother, don't worry about me?" β
King Yan said indifferently: "You and my brother, what's not to worry about?" β
King Ning snorted lightly, pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay!" Since the third brother said so, this king will take a trip. However, "
"What do you want to make a fuss about?"
His Royal Highness King Ning smiled slightly, "The Lord of Star City will accompany this king on a trip." Before the words fell, King Ning turned over and hid behind Xiao Qianchi beside him, avoiding the attack of Wei Gongzi, "Wei Junmo, don't instruct this king to be too handy." Do you think this king doesn't know that you have a very powerful enemy? Let this king pretend to be you to deceive people, and you must always give this king a master protection, right? β
"I'll arrange for a guard, enough to keep you safe." Wei Junmo said coldly.
King Ning disdainful, "This king is not at ease, this king must be protected by the county lord of Xingcheng." Or you go on your own! β
It's a pity that Wei Gongzi doesn't accept a smile. Just nodded lightly, "It's okay." He didn't feel that he had to stay in Pengcheng, although his uncle was seriously injured, but King Ning and Chen Yu were enough to lead the Youzhou army.
"No way!" This is the voice of King Yan.
"I'll go." This is Nangong Mo's voice. Wei Junmo looked sideways at Nangong Mo, his purple eyes full of displeasure.
Nangong Mo pursed his lips and smiled, and secretly reached out and hooked the fingers of Wei Gongzi's left hand. "I'm a little worried about my mother and two children and want to go back and see them." β
Wei Junmo's eyes were slightly dark, they had been out for a long time, and the two children didn't understand anything when they were just born. He naturally knew that although he didn't say it, he was also very concerned about his two children. But
Nangong Mo laughed in a low voice: "With Uncle Shi in Chenzhou, what danger will I have?" Uncle Ning Wang just wants to be angry with you, and he won't really want me to follow him to the battlefield. I'll see my mother and two babies come back, if we all hurry up, maybe we can meet on the south bank of the Li River." β
Wei Junmo was silent for a long time before finally nodding slightly, but he still glanced at King Ning coldly, and the warning and threat in his eyes were self-evident. His Royal Highness King Ning snorted and said that he had a toothache. Isn't it just ten days and half a month apart, as if he is a big villain who beats mandarin ducks? Moreover, if the county lord of Xingcheng didn't leave, who would believe that Wei Junmo was really gone?
King Yan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go and prepare." β
"Father, can I go to Chenzhou with Uncle Seventeen and my cousin-in-law?" Xiao Qianjiong said.
King Yan raised his eyebrows, "Why?" β
Xiao Qianjiong said proudly: "Go catch Yuan Chun." If the sons can catch the Duke of E"
King Ning sneered and said, "You can go and catch Nangong Huai." β
Xiao Qianjiong choked, touched his nose and muttered in a low voice: "Duke E is more powerful than Nangong Huai." "Eguo Gong is the real battlefield hero, Nangong Huai is just a villain. In the opinion of Xiao Sangongzi, it is naturally more powerful to be the Duke of Eguo.
King Yan thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Don't make trouble for your seventeenth uncle." β
"The retainers obey!" Xiao Qianjiong jumped up and said loudly.
As soon as night fell, everyone in the army saw Wei Gongzi, the Xingchen County Lord, and Xiao Sangongzi leaving the barracks with a few escorts, and they didn't know where they went. Ordinary soldiers naturally didn't know where they went, they just thought that these three were idle and bored to go out for a walk or that King Yan had ordered something to do. But when the news reached the ears of others, it was different.
"Wei Junmo is really gone?" In a tent, a general in his early forties and wearing a battle robe asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes, General. The subordinates saw with their own eyes that the county lord of Xingcheng and the third prince of Wei Gongzi led people out of the camp and never came back.
The general gritted his teeth, "Wei Gongzi is scheming, he has fallen for his schemes a few times before, this time"
"However, if Wei Gongzi really returns to Chenzhou. Then the Duke of Eguo is really hopeless. "The army of 600,000, the only veteran other than Nangong Huai who followed the founding of the first emperor, if he folded in Chenzhou, the consequences are unimaginable.
The general was obviously also struggling, the news sent back a few times ago caused the imperial court to suffer heavy losses, and he knew that Wei Gongzi must have been suspicious of the high-ranking generals in the army. But such news is really difficult to choose, "Wait." β
"Yes, General. Time is urgent, and I hope the general"
"I know. Go and find out who the affairs of the army are now handed over to now since Wei Junmo is gone. β
"General Hui, it's King Ning. Fang Cai's subordinates saw that the personal guards beside King Yan sent the talisman into King Ning's tent. Moreover, King Ning also summoned General Chen Yu and the prince of King Yan. β
The general pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Spread the news that Wei Gongzi and the Lord of Xingcheng County have left the camp, and I will go in person." We can't take care of anything else. "These few news failures, he is bound to give Shangfeng an explanation, which can't be avoided no matter what.
"Yes."
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow swept out of the camp at a rapid pace. It's just that he couldn't help but stop when he walked less than five miles, looking ahead with a look of horror in his eyes. Not far in front of him, a slender and tall figure stood tall in the moonlight. The moonlight sprinkled on his cold face, making the originally cold face seem to be covered with a gentle silver light. It was supposed to be a quiet and beautiful picture, but the people in the painting were enough to scare him.
"You're not leaving?!"
Fooled?! The black-clothed man's heart sank, and he reflexively wanted to run into the distance. It's just that there are a few people standing not far behind him, Chen Yu, Xiao Qianchi, Xiao Qianwei and several generals in the army.
"You're calculating!" Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, the man in black simply turned around and faced Wei Junmo, gritted his teeth and said, "You already know my identity, all the previous news was deliberately released?" β
Wei Junmo said lightly: "No, I'm only now sure who you are." β
Chen Yu's face was also rare and cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Wei Gongzi really doesn't know who is the fine work, so he just told General SΓΉ Ben, after the time passes, whoever is not in his account is the fine work." The man in black took a deep breath and said unwillingly, "What if I send someone else?" β
Xiao Qianwei smiled lightly: "General Shi, don't struggle anymore." How could you send someone to something so important? What's more, if you don't go out in person, I'm afraid that the court will also wonder if you have really taken refuge in the Yanwang Mansion and deliberately passed on false news, right? β
The man in black sneered, raised his hand and removed the face towel on his face, revealing a calm and resolute face. It's just that this face is no longer the hearty and loyal that everyone was familiar with in the past, but full of unwillingness and resentment. Chen Yu sighed, "In the previous dispute between the prince and the second son, you didn't contribute less, right?" Knowing that Xizuo was this person, Chen Yu was actually a little difficult to accept in his heart. This man joined the army at about the same time as him, and was once a brother from the same trench. Although he and Zhu Hong and Xue Zhen are one step ahead and the grade is higher than them, the relationship between them has always been good. Comrades who have lived and died together for decades, who would have thought that one day they would come to the point of confrontation?
General Shi didn't deny it, just glanced at Xiao Qianchi and the brothers, and said, "It's just a few more words, can it be regarded as a lot of contribution?" His Royal Highness King Yan is famous for a lifetime, but unfortunately if it weren't for Gongzi Wei, I'm afraid that today's defeat may not be me, right? β
Hearing this, Xiao Qianchi's brothers changed their faces together. Xiao Qianchi's face was red with shame, but Xiao Qianwei's face was pale.
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The prince treats you well, why do you want to do this?" β
"Huh?" General Shi seemed to have heard some joke, "Treat me well? The prince treats you well, right? What am I not like you? Why are you a general and I am a lieutenant general? I have less combat achievements than you? I haven't fought hard for the prince? Chen Yu said: "Because of this, you betrayed the prince?" Not only to harm the entire Youzhou army, but also to the life of the prince? Don't forget, your life was also picked up from the battlefield by the prince back then. β
General Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon smiled bitterly again, and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?" You're right, from the day I became an agent of the first emperor, sooner or later, there will be today. β
Chen Yu sighed, "You are really the first emperor's person." β
General Shi had a little helplessness on his face, "At first, I was just a little unhappy that you were promoted faster than me, and I didn't think much about it. Who knew that the people of the first emperor found me at that time, and I didn't want to agree at first, but then, I was really willing!" It's just that I don't know if it's because of the opposition of identities and then hostile to my former comrades, or because I feel that King Yan treats me unfairly and firmly believes that my position is correct? Shaking his head with a wry smile, General Shi didn't say more. But everyone knew in their hearts that the first emperor wanted to force a person to comply, but he was afraid that there were few people in this world who could bear it.
"Since Wei Gongzi is here, presumably the news this time is also fake, right? It's a pity that you are still too anxious, and I didn't have time to spread the news. As for me, if you want to kill me, you have to listen to me. β
Chen Yu said: "How much difference do you think there is between Wei Gongzi or King Ning who went to Chenzhou?" Don't forget, Tai Ningwei is His Royal Highness King Ning after all. No matter who goes, unless Xiao Qianye wants to give up the Duke of Eguo and the 600,000 soldiers and horses, he must save it. Tonight"
"I see." Tonight's QiΔ is just a game against him alone. Wei Gongzi didn't care if anyone passed on the news.
"The rest of the things, you go to the prince and tell it yourself." Chen Yu turned around, unwilling to look at his former comrades.
