Chapter 705: The Young Phoenix Sings and Shakes the World (8)
Lu Shiren is a must-kill character, but all the Yan people who know the inside story hate this person to the core, and it is this person's betrayal that led Zhou Yuan, the captain of the Yan State, to make wrong judgments repeatedly, and finally lost the lives of countless people, turning the Yan people's painstaking efforts to conquer Donghu into a national war that made the Yan people unforgettable. And Ning Xin was even more unwilling not to kill this person, Lu Shiren belonged to Yan Lingwei, that is, Ning Zecheng's direct subordinate, and in the end, Ning Zecheng was convicted and died, and Lu Shiren's matter also became one of the crimes.
In addition to the above reasons, it is because Lu Shiren helped Donghu to start establishing a sound intelligence agency after betrayal, and this was originally the weakest place for Donghu people, Donghu also has spies, but unlike the Central Plains country, a perfect overall system has been formed, and if Lu Shiren succeeds, it will inevitably cause great distress to the Supervision Yuan.
From the time Niu Ben Niu Teng entered Donghu, killing Lu Shiren became their top priority. And Lu Shiren is not so easy to kill, all the methods of Yan Lingwei, this person knows very well, and what traitors are most afraid of is the liquidation of the old owner, Lu Shiren has always hidden himself well.
The arrest of the liaison who came to contact Lin Niu Ben was the beginning of this bait. The liaison had no idea that when he stepped into Helin, his whereabouts had already been betrayed to Lu Shiren, and the most difficult and uncontrollable thing about this plan was whether this liaison would survive the torture of his opponent and confide in Hongren as a contact point. If the liaison does not tell the truth, the plan will eventually be aborted. Lu Shiren would not believe the information he could get very lightly, and only in the midst of cruel and inhuman torture, when the liaison officer was in a semi-conscious state, or unconsciously confided information, could it be accepted.
In order to kill Lu Shiren, Niu Ben Niu Teng painstakingly laid out this game, and finally achieved the result they wanted. And in order to kill Lu Shiren, they also paid a great price, but in their opinion, it was completely worth it.
As soon as Lu Shiren died, the intelligence system that Donghu had built up with great difficulty would suffer the heaviest blow.
And in fact, it is exactly like this, as soon as Lu Shiren died, He Lin's intelligence system immediately ran sluggish, which brought great convenience to the actions of Niu Ben and Niu Teng who infiltrated in a short period of time. Assassinations occurred one after another, and the targets of these assassinations, without exception, were all focused on the Yan people who surrendered to the Donghu people, and what made Thorpe most angry was the death of Lu Shiren and Wang Ting.
Wang Tingshi became a high-ranking official of Donghu and was in charge of Donghu's finances for just over a year, and his death was the same as that of Lu Shiren. It also brought unpredictable losses to Donghu, and the plan he was planning to implement to compensate the soldiers who died in the war was also forced to come to a halt, and it is not known when it will be restarted.
He Lin began a large-scale manhunt. The re-registration of the household registration began, especially the last one, which finally forced Niu Ben Niu Teng to withdraw from Helin and disperse to the vast area under the control of Donghu. Next, they will become the sparks sprinkled by the Eastern Army to the territory of Donghu, at the right time. These fires will become a fire that will burn the plains, and the Donghu people will be completely sent to the abyss of hell.
He Lin began to calm down, and the anxious Tulu finally freed his hands and began to prepare for negotiations with the Eastern Army and negotiations with the Yan court.
The first person he visited was Kumamoto, who had been staying in Warin.
Kumamoto is a great nobleman of the Yan State, the official worships the general of the expedition to the west, and is the real power figure of the Yan court.
Kumamoto can be regarded as an outstanding general, in the conquest of Donghu, he has always served as a striker, and his forward army is indeed outstanding, this war, the first battle was fought by him with his subordinates, and the last battle is also under his command, his forward army suffered heavy losses, not one in ten, and those who survived, all of them are outstanding, like Luo Weiran, Chen Bin and the two, all of them are this person's subordinates, it can be seen that this person is indeed a good hand in the military.
In Thorpe's next plan, Kumamoto will become a key figure, so before leaving, Tulu first came to visit this Yan general, who was respected even among the generals of Donghu.
Kumamoto is very happy these days, and every day he is drunk, if nothing else, but because of the great defeat of Donghu in the Hetao area. When the news reached Kumamoto's ears, he almost didn't believe his ears, and even thought it was fake, but as the follow-up news was finally confirmed, especially when the coffins of Yan Qi and others were transported back to Helin by some Donghu captives, Kumamoto danced and got drunk that night.
This excitement has continued to this day, because the assassinations that continue to be staged in Helin are all those former officials of the Yan State who completely surrendered to Donghu and are working for Donghu, among them, there are many of Kumamoto's direct subordinates, like Kumamoto's own deputy, who directly defected to Donghu, these people are extremely capable, but the stronger the ability, the greater the damage that may be caused in the future. When some of these people were assassinated, Kumamoto did not feel any sadness, but was happy.
He was drunk several more times.
So when Tulu found him, Kumamoto had just woken up from a hangover, his head was still aching for a while, and his face was very bad, but when he saw Tulu's haggard appearance, he was still smiling and happy.
"Lord Tulu, it seems that your life has been too easy these days?" He smiled at Tulu.
"General Kumamoto has a good complexion, I heard that during this period of time, you are singing every day and getting drunk every night!" Turu snorted coldly.
"Of course, of course, I've lived here with Lin for almost two years, just count this period of time, my heart is happy, and it's rare to have happy days, of course, I have to have a good time!" Kumamoto smiled and said, "Lord Tulu has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there must be something going on when he comes to me today to see me, a prisoner, right?" ”
"General Xiong, you are in Helin, you come and go freely, no one has ever restricted your movements, how can you be imprisoned, you are my honored guest of Donghu, and you have ever been subjected to any trouble? Although you are our prisoner of war. But throughout history, there has never been a free prisoner of war like you! Turu scoffed.
"That's what I'm proud of!" Kumamoto laughed, "Being a captive can do this, and I do have a sense of accomplishment." ”
Tulu's face was ugly, and he sat down angrily, "General Kumamoto, I won't go around in circles, just like you said, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace." I've come to visit you, and I'm about to leave for Stone City to discuss peace with that high distance. ”
Kumamoto also sat down with a golden sword, "You guys were hurt and scared this time, and you finally want to negotiate peace?" I'm so glad to hear you say that. ”
"Or General Kumamoto will be pleased, but the tomb of King Yan Ji of Jicheng. Taiwei Zhou Yu and Doctor Tan Feng, I'm afraid they are very unhappy, right? The Eastern Army has been extremely difficult to control, and even our Eastern Hu Army has suffered such a big defeat, and your Yan Army has suffered heavy losses. The strength is far inferior to ours, and in front of the Eastern Army, I'm afraid it is even more vulnerable, right? It's really hard for me to understand how General Kumamoto is still happy. Turu sneered.
Kumamoto was silent for a moment, about the contradiction between the Eastern Army and the imperial court. A character of his level is naturally clear, and later the Yan State court calculated a series of lofty actions. Although he didn't know very well, he also knew that although the Eastern Army and the Yan Army were not incompatible, they were indeed tense, and they could break out at any time with unpredictable consequences.
"Anyway, Gao Yuan is still the general of Yan State's expedition."
"I forgot to tell General Kumamoto, in the two years that you lived in Helin, Gao Yuan had already established himself to conquer the Eastern Governor's Mansion, appointed himself as the Governor, conquered the Eastern Mansion, set up six departments, reorganized the army, and commanded the four major field armies, which were already two systems with your Yan Army, Liaoxi, Hejian was under his control, and his hand even stretched out to Yuyang, just a few years ago, he controlled Yuyang's Anlu iron ore, copper mine, etc., General Kumamoto, do you still think he is the general of your Yan State?"
Listening to Tulu's words, Kumamoto couldn't help but get annoyed, "Are you here to sue me about this?" I am just a military general, it is my duty to lead troops to fight, if one day, Gao Yuan really rebelled, I am naturally obliged, but he is still the general of Yan State, even if he is arrogant. ”
Tulu laughed, "General Kumamoto is really capable, and he can say such things as hiding his ears and stealing the bell, yes, I came to you today, and there is indeed something wrong." Luo Weiran, Chen Bin, these two people, General Kumamoto should know each other, right? ”
Kumamoto was slightly stunned, thought for a while, nodded, and said: "It's a bit of an image, it should be a low-level general under my command before, it seems to be a tooth general or something, I haven't seen much, and the image is not too deep." ”
"These two people, now they are both generals of the Eastern Army, our battle to conquer the Hetao, it can be said that it was defeated in the hands of these two people, Chen Bin led thousands of people to build forts in the Dubo area, and dragged down the advance of our army, and planted a fatal nail in the rear of our army, General Xiong, your lieutenant, died in the hands of this Chen Bin in Dubo, and Luo Weiran, first defeated Aziz by surprise, and then on the bank of the Liao River, and the cavalry commanded by Helan Yan defeated Murong Kun, it was these two battles, Let our army fall into a point of no return. And now, Chen Bin led his troops straight into Tengger, and began to build forts and tuntian, and the troops were approaching the Jingyuan area of Ningyuan. The two tooth generals under the command of General Xiong have such skills, and Tulu has to admire that you are really full of talents. ”
Kumamoto first had a happy face, Luo Weiran, and Chen Bin were both from his command, and the two of them made great contributions in defeating the Donghu River Routine Camp, and he was also honored, but then his face changed, "What do you want to do with me?" ”
"Luo Weiran and Chen Bin have made great contributions in this battle, and the next promotion will definitely be indispensable, I think, General Kumamoto, we can cooperate."
"You want me to cooperate with you, do you want me to recruit these two for you?" Kumamoto sneered.
"That's exactly what I mean."
"Don't even think about it!" (To be continued......)
