Chapter 168: Ultimatum

After walking on the road for two days, the mighty autumn hunting team arrived at the east bank of Wuting River, the autumn hunting camp has already been stationed, the big tent is sprinkled with male yellow powder around it, the tent is covered with carpet, the golden top tent of the emperor Li Yu is located in the center, surrounded by the big tent of the concubine and the prince, this piece is called the central big tent, covering an area of about 50 acres.

There is a camp fence around the central tent, with 5,000 guards guarding around the fence, and the guards of the Hidden Sword Pavilion with high martial arts are hidden in the shadows, and the guards are very tight.

The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs are busy packing up their things, Li Yu is pacing back and forth in the big tent with his hands, he is indeed a bit risky in this operation, 30,000 Niu Guards are stationed in the periphery, and only the general of the Royal Forest Army Wu Cao leads 10,000 Yulin Army and 5,000 guards stationed in the inner circle, if the 100,000 Shence Army is really firmly controlled by Yu Chaoen, this autumn hunt itself will be dangerous.

Although this autumn hunt is very risky, in order to lure Yu Chaoen into the bait, Li Yu can only use himself as bait and take this risk, he has waited for five years at this moment, and whether he can succeed is in this move.

At this time, a guard reported, "King Yongjia asks to see!" ”

Li Yu felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, and Yu Chaoen finally took the bait.

He nodded and smiled: "Announce him into the account!" ”

After a moment, Yu Chaoen walked in briskly and bowed, "See Your Majesty!" ”

"The king of the county is exempt from courtesy, and he will be given a seat!"

A palace maid brought an embroidered pier, and Yu Chaoen sat down with a grin.

Li Yu smiled faintly and said: "The county king has worked hard to inspect the army, how is the situation of the Shence army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Shence Army is full of spirit and high morale, as long as Your Majesty says a word, the Shence Army is willing to serve Your Majesty at any time!"

"It should be that I went to the army, but the government affairs are too heavy, and my health is not very good, so I can only make a hard trip to the king of Laotun County."

Yu Chaoen groaned and said: "There is a sentence that has been in Weichen's heart for a long time, although it is a little abrupt, but Weichen still wants to say it. ”

"If the king of the county has anything to say, just say it!"

"The minister has always wanted to tell His Majesty that since His Majesty is not in good health, then he can recuperate in the palace with peace of mind, and the affairs of the court will be handled by the minister."

Li Yu was silent for a long time and said: "Thank you for the county king's concern!" ”

Yu Chaoen smiled, "Advice will always be a little rebellious, Your Majesty should think about it!" ”

He stood up and saluted, then turned and walked away.

Yu Chaoen is very proud now, he is not afraid of Li Yu killing him at all, there are 30,000 troops of Qianniuwei on the periphery, forgive Li Yu and dare not touch a single hair of him.

Today he is here to have a showdown with Li Yu, if Li Yu does not agree to his conditions before dawn every day, he will directly launch a mutiny.

As soon as Yu Chaoen left, the anger in Li Yu's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he threw the tea cup on the ground, several eunuchs and palace maids were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, Li Yu desperately restrained the resentment in his heart, and walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands.

He also knew that Yu Chaoen was ready, and the final battle between the two sides was coming, Li Yu looked at the sky outside the tent, he couldn't hide his anxiety in his eyes, all his hopes were whether Guo Song's mission could succeed, if Guo Song's mission failed, he could only flee back to Chang'an overnight.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yu immediately ordered: "Quickly invite Guo Lao Linggong and General Dugu to come and see me!" ”

.........

Guo Song traveled all the way, he arrived at the Wuting Chuanqiu hunting ground at night, he immediately stood on a small hill, looked at the lights in the camp in the distance, and rushed to the bottom of the mountain as soon as he urged the Fire Dragon King.

In the northeast corner of the camp were more than a dozen large tents, which were the sentry tents, and as soon as he approached the sentry tents, he was spotted by the soldiers, who shouted: "Stop, who is it?" ”

"I'll go to General Liu Wen and tell him that his cousin is here!"

The soldier suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Liu Zhonglang would run to the sentry tent, and it turned out that he was waiting for his cousin.

"Wait a minute, I'll report for you."

The soldier turned and galloped away, and after a moment of panting, he came back and said, "Please come with me!" ”

Guo Song led the soldiers to a large camp, only to see a burly general greet him with a smile, "Cousin, why are you here now, I've been waiting for you for a long time?" ”

Guo Song smiled faintly: "I'm busy watching a polo game, it's too late." ”

"Although I came late, I didn't make a mistake, come in and talk about it!"

Liu Wen asked his subordinates to take over the war horse for Guo Song, invited Guo Song into the big tent, and gave the two personal soldiers a look, and the two personal soldiers stood at the door.

In the big tent, Liu Wen said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, please Guo Song show the gold medal of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Guo Song took out the gold medal and put it on the table, Liu Wen picked up the gold medal and looked at it carefully, and then returned it to Guo Song, "Guo Gongzi, please take a seat!" ”

The two sat down at the table, and Liu Wen asked, "Guo Gongzi should know the task!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I know, but I need General Liu's assistance." ”

"I am here to assist you by order of the Son of Heaven."

Liu Wen spread a drawing of cloth soldiers on the table, and said to Guo Song: "This is the map of the Qianniuwei military camp, it is very detailed, you have to look carefully, Yu Chao'an's handsome tent is located in the middle, there are camp fences around it, Yu Chao'an has three hundred loyal to his personal guards, these days he is protected impenetrable, and there are few opportunities to get close to him."

But it's not without opportunities, generally speaking, you can have two opportunities, one is that he has to patrol the camp every morning, which I don't recommend, and the second is that he will practice playing polo in the afternoon, which is a good opportunity. ”

"Why isn't it a good opportunity to patrol the camp?" Guo Song asked puzzled.

Liu Wen smiled slightly: "Yu Chao'an's appearance is very easy to identify, he is a dark-skinned bearded man, the problem is that there are also two black-skinned bearded men who look very similar to him in his personal guards, and the armor and clothing they wear are the same, if you are not familiar with Yu Chao'an, how can you distinguish which one is the real Yu Chao'an, maybe it is the personal guard who rides on the horse, and it is Yu Chao'an who leads the horse below." ”

Only then did Guo Song understand the mystery, nodded and said, "So playing polo is the best way to tell the difference." ”

"You're right! The two of them don't know how to play polo, only Yu Chao'an will play, the last game of the polo tournament is the battle between Qianniuwei and the second place, and then Yu Chao'an will also play, he has been practicing polo for a long time in the past two days, and he has been training almost in the afternoon. ”

Liu Wen pointed to the southwest corner of the tent, "This open space is the venue for playing polo, and three hundred guards will protect the surroundings, but the place is relatively large, and they can't take care of it, so there is a chance." ”

"Is it going to rain tomorrow?" Guo Song suddenly asked.

Liu Wen was stunned and didn't understand what Guo Song meant, but he still said frankly: "The weather will be very good these days, and the autumn and winter in Guanzhong are relatively sunny and dry." ”

Guo Song put away the map and said: "I'll study it carefully, in addition, I need to wear a military uniform and waist card of Qianniuwei, and I also need to know the password!" ”

Liu Wen took a wooden box and handed it to Guo Song, "The armor is in the box, the password is that polo will win, this is tonight's password, tomorrow at noon, the password will be changed, you had better mix in before noon tomorrow, in addition, your leader is Zhang Yun, the general of the first battalion, everyone calls him Zhang Fatzi, he knows your identity, and will continue to assist you, remember, you must complete the task before dark tomorrow, otherwise you will miss a big mistake." ”

Guo Song nodded, "I won't make a mistake, besides, my horse can't be brought over, so please ask General Liu to hand it over to Aunt Gongsun." ”

"Don't worry! I will take care of all the follow-up matters for you, and I wish you a triumphant return! ”

Guo Song hugged his fists and saluted, carried the armor box and left in a hurry.......

Liu Wen looked at Guo Song's back and left, he was really worried in his heart, was this person personally arranged by the Son of Heaven reliable?

........

The next day, just after dawn, Guo Song carried a string of hares and pheasants down the mountain, he was now completely dressed as a Qianniuwei soldier, wearing an eagle helmet, wearing a soft-armored military uniform, a bow and arrows on his back, a silver horizontal knife at his waist, and an iron military badge on his waist.

The silver horizontal knife is the characteristic of Qianniuwei, and the handle is wrapped in silver, but Guo Song's silver horizontal knife is still a black sword, but the silver handle sleeve and scabbard are used, and if you don't pull it out, it is completely no different from the silver horizontal knife.

Guo Song pretended to be returning from hunting, so that he could hide the bow and arrow behind him.

Guo Song observed from a distance for a moment, and saw the situation of several soldiers entering the camp, he swaggered up, and the sentry shouted: "Stop, password!" ”

"Polo wins!"

Guo Song shouted, the sentry put away his bow and arrows, and said loudly: "The sergeant enters the camp!" ”

The door of the small camp opened, and Guo Song walked in.

"Yo! This is to go hunting, which battalion is the brother from? ”

The officer on duty came over and stared at a fat rabbit with salivation, and if his eyes were long, he would reach out and snatch them.

How could Guo Song not understand his expression, he took off the rabbit and threw it to him, "I am Zhang Fatzi's personal soldier, and this rabbit will be my filial piety to you." ”

"It turned out to be Zhang Fatzi's subordinate, my own brother, then I'm not welcome."

The general took the rabbit and walked away with a smile.

Guo Song went directly into the camp, the camp was very lively, the soldiers came and went, like a bazaar, Guo Song immediately realized that he didn't need to disguise himself as hunting, and many soldiers in the camp carried bows and arrows.

Most of the soldiers of Qianniuwei are the children of middle-class families in Chang'an, and they are generally wealthy, and Yu Chao'an has always paid little attention to military regulations and military discipline, and the autumn hunting is a vacation trip, so the soldiers are more relaxed.

Except for those who did not dare to bring women into the barracks, the rest gambled, ate barbecue, set up stalls to sell gadgets, competed fiercely, everything, noisy and lively, and the whole barracks was like a big bazaar.

People kept coming forward to offer to buy Guo Song's pheasants and hares, Guo Song didn't bother to carry them anymore, and sold them indiscriminately, and in just a moment, the prey was sold cleanly, and he got more than a dozen taels of silver.

Guo Song then came to the first battalion.
