Chapter 105: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

Li An and Zhao Yufu walked out of the big tent together, saw Xi Yu and others standing outside the tent, and hurriedly walked over.

"King Guichang."

Xi Yu and the others saluted together.

Zhao Yufu waved his hand to everyone and signaled everyone to be exempt.

Li An took two steps forward, looked at Li Fei Shouyu and the others, and stared: "What the hell is going on, why did someone shout about assassins, and even Xi Shilang was alarmed." ”

Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly told Li An about the poisoning of the two Tibetan assassins, and nodded slightly, hinting at something to Li An.

Seeing this, Li An said angrily: "Kunxiong, Feiyu, how did you assure me, why can't you even look down on the two captives, you are a big deal that has ruined me." ”

"It's our momentary negligence, please punish the eldest brother."

Li Feiyu knelt down on one knee to plead guilty, and Li Kunxiong also knelt down.

"Hmph, how can this be reasonable, come and pull the two of them down and beat them each with thirty military sticks to set an example."

Li An ordered angrily.

"Wait."

Xi Yu hurriedly pleaded: "Captain Li, both of them are rare warriors in my Tang Dynasty, and it is dangerous to go to the Dongnu Kingdom this time, if you injure the warriors first, wouldn't it be self-cutting off your arms, it is better to forgive them this time and let them make meritorious contributions." ”

Li An frowned, and said sadly: "Xi Shilang, Kunxiong and Feiyu are my brothers-in-law, they grew up with me since childhood, how can I be willing to punish them, it's just that these two Tubo assassins have already confessed to the spies around King Guichang, as long as they wait a few more hours, they can catch the spies, but because of their negligence, they actually let the spies take advantage of the loopholes and poison the Tubo assassins." ”

Xi Yu stroked his beard and comforted: "The matter has happened, Captain Li should not be angry, besides, these two Tubo assassins were also captured by the two of them." ”

Li An nodded, looked at Kunxiong and Feiyu, and said with a straight face: "Meritorious work is merit, and it is excessive, I shouldn't have forgiven you this time, but since Xi Shilang interceded, these thirty military sticks will be written down for the time being, and when this task is completed, return to Chang'an City to carry it out." ”

After speaking, he gave the two of them a look.

Kunxiong and Feiyu understood, and bowed: "Thank you Xi Shilang for interceding, we will never make the same mistake again." ”

"Two warriors, please get up quickly, and on this way, you still have to rely on you?"

Xi Yu smiled all over his face, and looked back at Li An: "Captain Li, there is no need to rush to track down the matter of the spy, it's getting late, let's rest first!" ”

"Xi Shilang, please."

"Return to the king of Chang, and the next official will retire."

Xi Yu bowed lightly to Zhao Yufu, turned around and walked towards his tent.

As the supreme leader of the Tang Mission, the reason why Xi Yu interceded for Kunxiong and Feiyu was because of his love for talent, he had been an official all his life, and he could see at a glance that Kunxiong and Feiyu were brave warriors, and he couldn't bear to let the warriors be humiliated.

The second is to see that Li An does not really want to be punished, but because these two people have made mistakes, they have to show their selflessness, as long as he opens his mouth to intercede, Li An will inevitably push the boat down the river and spare Kunxiong and Feiyu, in this way, he not only solved Li An's difficulties, but also won the gratitude of Kunxiong and Feiyu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, although Xi Yu seems to be an old man, but in some aspects of dealing with people, he can be very shrewd?

Li An sent Zhao Yufu back to the big tent, and then took Li Fei Shouyu and others back to his big tent.

"Shouyu, what's the situation?"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Li An asked eagerly.

"It's okay, we did as you said, and we've found three spies, two of them are guards, and one is a maid."

"Oh, only three?"

"It's not for sure, it was a disguised guard who went to deliver the food at that time, Fei Yu and I quietly followed him, and found another guard and a maid meeting him in a dark corner, it is certain that the three of them were spies, and then the three of them went back in two ways, and we also followed, and we didn't find anything abnormal, so, at present, we can only be sure that the three of them are spies."

Li Fei Shouyu said seriously.

Li An nodded lightly: "Feiyu, send a few reliable brothers to closely monitor these three spies, see who they usually contact with, where they are in contact, and what they have done, remember, it must be done quietly, and it must not arouse their vigilance." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll leave this matter to me."

Ang Lee waved his hand and asked the brothers to go back to rest.

This time, the use of two Tibetan assassins to fish out the spies around King Guichang was carefully arranged by Li An, and he originally planned to arrest the spies as soon as he discovered them, so as to eliminate the hidden dangers.

However, if you think about it carefully, if there are a large number of spies, and only a few break into the trap, you will inevitably not be able to defeat all the spies, so there will still be a big hidden danger, the last time in Ulzhou, a contest with the spies of the Fan army, so that Li An gained a lot of knowledge, so he decided to take the strategy of wanting to capture the old people, let Li Fei Shouyu and Li Feiyu quietly follow them, but do not arrest them, and at the same time, they also staged a scene to beat their brothers angrily to confuse the spies.

In addition, what Li An is most worried about is not the spies around King Guichang, after all, these spies must be small minions, behind them, there must be a royal family in collusion with Tubo, and how to dig out this Dongnu royal family is Li An's headache, this time, let go of these three spies, just to put a long line to catch big fish.

Li An believed that as long as they entered the territory of the Dongnu Kingdom, these spies would inevitably get in touch with the Dongnu royal family who instructed them, so that Li An could find the royal family who colluded with Tubo, and then take thunderous measures to get rid of it.

As for the two Tibetan spies, since they have no use value, keeping them is also a drag, and letting them die in the hands of the spies can be regarded as evil retribution.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, several soldiers of the Longwu Army still displayed two poisoned Tubo spies on the side of the road.

This is Ang Lee's arrangement, mainly so that several spies in the team can sit back and relax when they see that their poisoning has indeed succeeded, and then relax their vigilance and have no doubt about their exposure.

After breakfast, Li An led the team to set off from the camp and continued to march in the direction of Dongnuguo.

The poisoning of the two Tibetan assassins made everyone believe that there were spies in the ranks of King Guichang, which caused a relatively large psychological pressure on these spies, so they behaved and did things in a low-key manner.

The brothers under the command of Li Ang quietly observed them for several days, but did not find any valuable information, and almost all of these three people stayed in the camp honestly except for eating, drinking, and doing things, and did not see them have too much contact with others.

However, Ang Lee has patience, and now that he has locked these three people as spies, is he still afraid that these three people can escape from his palm?

A few days later, the group arrived at Qishan and set up camp at the foot of Qishan, and in two days they would arrive at Chencang City, after which they would follow the narrow Chencang Trail into Liangzhou, then into Yizhou, and finally arrive at the Queen's City, the capital of the Dongnu Kingdom.

At most, after a month, Li An will be able to arrive in the territory of the East Woman Country, and after entering the East Woman Country, what will be waiting for him, Li An did not dare to think deeply, he had a hunch that this trip to the East Woman Country was destined to be full of blood, and he had to harden his heart to meet this challenge.

After dinner, Li An went to the big tent of King Guichang as usual, and carefully studied the Tubo language, at the beginning, Xi Yu was very dissatisfied when he heard about it, but after thinking about it carefully, Dongnu Kingdom is a small barbarian state after all, and it is far from the Tang Dynasty with etiquette and shame, and the etiquette and folk customs of the small country of Fanbang are naturally different from the Tang Dynasty.

"Twitter, goo......"

In the big tent of King Guichang, Li An suddenly heard a very familiar bird call, this kind of bird is very common in Yingzhou, however, this is a migratory bird, it should spend the winter in the south in this season, how can it appear in the cold Guanzhong Plain.

Li An'an felt a little and looked at Zhao Yufu: "Lufu, it's not early, let's rest early!" I went back. ”

"Okay, go slowly."

Zhao Yufu was really tired, and he didn't have the slightest retention.

Li An nodded, strode out of the big tent of King Guichang, and looked for the direction from which the bird's call came from, and quietly touched it.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Li Feiyu took a brother and hid behind a big tree.

Li An suddenly affirmed his judgment even more, and said in a low voice: "You are following the spies? ”

"It's the maid, not far ahead."

Li An grinned: "Sure enough, there are assassins, you go back first, Feiyu, follow me quietly." ”

The brothers brought by Li Feiyu were ordered to leave, and Li An quietly followed with Li Feiyu.

In order not to be detected, the two separated for a distance, walked quietly, and tried to keep a safe enough distance.

In a dark corner, the maid stopped and let out the chirping of birds.

After a while, a burly man emerged from behind a large tree.

"Ayi, you're here."

The man said, looking around warily.

"Hamigo, why are you here, aren't you supposed to be by the master's side?"

"The news of the failure of the assassination on the outskirts of Chang'an City last time, after reaching the ears of the master, the master was furious, the master did not trust you and the Tubo people very much, and was worried that you would still not be able to complete the task, so send me to come in person, how about it, how is the mission going?"

The man named Hamigo had a proud face.

"The task is not smooth, the Tang Dynasty sent a very powerful captain, leading six hundred elite soldiers, to closely guard Bin, just a few days ago, all the Tubo people were annihilated by him, in addition, we were almost caught by him."

Ayi said with palpitations.

"What, how can this be, what the hell is going on?"

Ayi didn't hide it, and told Hamigo about Li An's plan to annihilate the Tibetan assassins, as well as the thrilling scene after that.
