Chapter 199: Good Man Wei Shan
Qin called the messenger sent by Song Yang Yan Yan, who was Song Yang's hair small, and had a very close relationship since he was a child, but Yan Yan's official luck was a little poor, and his friend Song Yang had already become a county lieutenant, but he was only under one person in the Nanyang County Governor's Mansion, and above hundreds of people, Yan Yan was still a fighting official, and no matter how Song Yang carried and pulled, Yan Yan did not rise because of various reasons of yin and yang, and it was very unlucky.
Because of this, after Nanyang County Shou Lu Yan handed over the important task of defrauding and luring the enemy to Song Yang, who was responsible for guarding the Dajianshan Road, he learned the situation from his friend, Yan Yan took the initiative to ask for help in order to be promoted for meritorious service, and volunteered to act as a fraudulent messenger for Song Yang, and refused to give up regardless of Song Yang's kind persuasion, plus such a thing does need an absolutely trustworthy person to come forward to handle it, Song Yang finally agreed to Yan Yan's request, and let Yan Yan bring an entourage to the north to send a book to Lixian County to send a book to surrender.
Of course, greed for merit is greedy, how risky it is to do such a thing, Yan Huan is still clear in his stomach, so Yan Juan was also mentally prepared to never return, and quietly left a suicide note to his trusted person, so as not to leave a few words in his heart to his family.
Fortunately, the smoothness of the matter made Yan Jian overjoyed, and the fraudulent surrender letter had just been presented to Xiang Kang, the notorious leader of the traitors, Xiang Kang was immediately overjoyed, in addition to giving Yan Huan a heavy reward on the spot, he handed Yan Huan a reply letter the next day, asking Yan Huan to take it back and hand it to Song Yang, so that Song Yang was immediately ready to respond, as long as the young marshal's army took the small city of Luyang due west, it would immediately go south from Dajian Mountain. Yan Huan was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked Xiang Kang repeatedly, took Xiang Kang's reward and letter to leave, and returned to the hinterland of Nanyang from the Dajianshan Road.
Because the small town of Luyang was still controlled by the remnants of the Qin army in Lixian County, and the entrance of the Dajianshan trail was relatively close to Luyang City, in order to ensure Yan Huan's safety, Xiang Kang also specially arranged a team of young marshals to escort Yan Huan westward, and did not say goodbye until Yan Huan was sent to the small road. As a result, looking at the back of the young marshal's army gradually moving away, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, Yan Yan of course smiled extremely brightly, and seemed to see the brand-new Daqin official seal and official uniform in front of him, and then ordered the entourage he brought with a smile on his face: "Go, go back and receive the reward." ”
Yan Huan's entourage is called Yao Ying, who has followed Yan Huan for many years, and was brought down by Yan Huan because of his loyalty and obedience, but for the sake of safety, Yan Huan did not tell Yao Ying the real reason why he went north to contact the young marshal's army, but just said that he was ordered to run an errand. So when this meeting was finally able to return safely, Yao Ying was relieved like Yan Yan, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Yan, is the matter done?" Song Weicheng, he arranged for you to come north to negotiate with the thief army, what is the matter? ”
"Don't ask, it's a good thing anyway." Yan Yan's eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide the joy, and he said triumphantly: "Anyway, if we go back this time, in addition to being able to receive the reward, my rank ratio will definitely change." ”
"Congratulations to Brother Yan." Yao Ying hurriedly thanked Yan Yan, and pulled the heavy package he was carrying very strangely, and said, "Brother Yan, what is in this package of yours, why is it so heavy?" ”
"Don't ask, I'll get your share when I go back." Yan Yan still refused to answer, and said casually: "If you are tired, just say it, and I will carry it for a while." ”
Seeing that Yan Huan's mouth was tight and he didn't say anything, Yao Ying, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, didn't ask any more, but honestly walked with a package full of gold on his back, while Yan Yan strode ahead with a relatively light package of daily necessities, and roared a piece of Qin dialect first, and sang a section of the Xiariba people who were quite popular among the folk in Nanyang, and his mood was extremely high, and his mood was extremely happy.
Joy and sadness, just when Yan Huan was so excited that he almost didn't dance with his hands, five or six Qin soldiers suddenly jumped out of the roadside, holding long and short weapons to block Yan Huan and Yao Ying's way, and the Qin soldiers led by him were born with roe head rat eyes, described obscene, wore a long logo, and shouted: "Stop!" What for? ”
"Oops, how did we meet our own people?" Yan Yan complained bitterly in his heart, so he could only stubbornly say: "General, I am a Great Qin official who was ordered to run errands, he is my entourage, and after finishing his official business, he is ready to go back to resume his life." ”
"I'll check it!" The Qin army spoke sternly, and at the same time, several Qin soldiers jumped out of the roadside behind Yan Huan and Yao Ying, holding long and short weapons to block Yan Huan and Yao Ying's retreat.
Seeing that there was no way out, Yan Yan had no choice but to honestly take out his ID card (test), and Song Yang had written his own letter of introduction (biography), and held it in front of the chief of the Qin army with both hands, who took it and looked at it carefully, and then quickly looked up suspiciously and asked, "You are the official of our Nanyang County Governor's Mansion?" How could the officials of the county governor's mansion go to the county where the war was going on to run errands? What's the difference? ”
"The general forgives the sins." Yan Yan said cautiously: "It's a matter of confidentiality, and there has been an explanation on it, so it's not allowed to be leaked." ”
"Don't give it away?" The roe deer-headed Qin Jun Shi Chang became more suspicious, first looked Yan Yan up and down, and then carefully looked at Yan Yan's inspection biography, and said: "I'm sorry, I also have an explanation from above, I must strictly check the passers-by, to prevent the thief army from pretending to be an ordinary person to investigate the military situation, so I have to search your body, and then I can let you go." ”
"Search?" Yan Yan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly subconsciously took a step back and said, "General, I have important official documents with me. ”
"Don't worry, I won't touch your official document to seal the mud, so you can't pay the difference when you go back." The chief of the Qin army said casually: "Also, we won't touch your money, we are the officials and soldiers of the Great Qin, not robbers who rob houses." ”
After that, the commander of the Qin army didn't give Yan Yan a chance to distinguish, and waved his hand, and the Qin soldiers under him immediately rushed up, forcibly held down Yan Yan and Yao Ying, and immediately searched them, and then naturally, the package on Yao Ying's body was opened first, revealing a bag full of yellow gold, and the Qin soldiers all exclaimed, and the Qin army commander was also surprised and said: "So much gold? Where did you come from? ”
"This is the money from the county governor's mansion, general, don't touch it."
Yan Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he also tightly pressed the letter of Xiang Kang hidden in his arms, but unfortunately this action caused the vigilance of the Qin soldiers, and a Qin soldier quickly wrenched his hand away, and found out the letter written by Xiang Kang to Song Yang from his arms, and presented the letter written on the white silk to the Qin army commander, Yan Huan saw that his soul was scattered, and quickly shouted: "You can't read it, you must not read it, it's the letter of the county governor's mansion, that's the confidential letter of the county governor's mansion!" ”
"Bullying Lao Tzu is a soldier, I don't know the rules of Daqin? Our confidential letters in Daqin are all written on slips and sealed with mud, when will the confidential letters be written on silk silk? ”
That Qin Jun Shi sneered loudly, unceremoniously unfolded the letter to check the contents, and then looked at it, of course, the roe head rat-eyed Qin Jun Shi Chang gradually opened his mouth, and then suddenly roared, cheering: "Brothers, we have made a great contribution!" This is a letter written by Xiang Kang's traitor to our traitors in Nanyang! Hurry up, tie up these two traitors, and escort them back to our county honor! ”
"Brother Wei, Xiang Kang is a traitor to write a letter to that traitor to us? What was said? The Qin soldiers asked in surprise.
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get back." The chief of the Qin army refused to answer, first stuffed Xiang Kang's letter into his arms and hid it, then raised his foot and kicked Yan Yan's stomach, and kicked Yao Ying loudly and screamed, scolding: "Dog offal! Lao Tzu is desperate with the thieves on the front line, you hide in the back and don't help, forget it, you still dare to betray the country for glory, and you want to dedicate our Nanyang County to the thief army. ”
Yao Ying, who didn't know the truth, shouted loudly, but Yan Huan was in turmoil, and said secretly: "Do you want to tell them the truth?" Will they believe it if they say it? ”
At this time, those Qin soldiers had already taken out ropes to tie up Yan Yan and Yao Ying with punches and kicks, and shouted and forced Yan Yan to follow them to see the county order of Lixian County, and Yan Huan, who was still a little brainy, also made up his mind, and said secretly: "I can't say it for the time being, at this time, it is easy to show the rumors, and second, these pawns may not believe my words, so it is safer to wait until I see the county order of Lixian County and then tell the truth." ”
Yan Yan's abacus was good, but after seeing him walking back honestly without saying a word, a Qin soldier suddenly stopped everyone, and pulled the roe head rat Qin Jun Shi to the side, and whispered in his ear, the Qin Jun Shi with a roe head and mouse head shook his head again and again, and said: "No, you can't do this, I, Wei Shan, am not that kind of person." ”
"Brother Wei, we know that you are a good person, but you finally have a chance to get rich, you can't just watch us poor brothers miss it, right?"
The Qin soldier asked rhetorically, and simply turned around and said to the other Qin soldiers: "Brothers, I have an idea, anyway, we have already searched for the letters of Xiang Kang's traitors, and the credit has been established, so it is better to kill these two traitors directly now, and when we go back, we will say that they resisted arrest and resisted, and we took their lives in order to take people's mistakes, but we only found Xiang Kang's letters from them." ”
"As for the gold found from them?" The Qin sergeant patted the package he was carrying, and said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Wei will take a little more, and the rest will be divided equally among us." ”
Before the Qin sergeant's words were finished, Yan Juan and Yao Ying were already as pale as earth, and the other Qin sergeants were all overjoyed, and they rushed to the roe head and rat-eyed chief and said, "Brother Wei, Brother Zhuo Ji has a good idea, so let's do it, let's all make a fortune." ”
"Brother Wei, you can take the pair of jade walls alone, and we will divide the rest of the gold equally, this will be okay, right?"
Not to mention, although the head of the Qin army, who claimed to be called Wei Shan, was a roe deer and a rat-headed man, and his appearance was obscene, he was quite upright, and he shook his head vigorously in the face of the temptation to get rich, and insisted on refusing to do such a lack of morality. It's a pity that the other Qin soldiers didn't give up, and they only instigated Wei Shan to kill people and make money, and a vicious-looking Qin soldier simply pulled out the short sword at his waist and said loudly at Wei Shan: "Brother Wei, you don't want to get blood on your hands, I'll stain it!" A pair of jade walls belongs to you, and we will divide the rest equally! ”
Roaring, the Qin sergeant strode in front of Yan Huan, grabbed Yan Huan's clothes and was about to kill someone, Yan Huan's soul was scattered, and he was incontinent on the spot, and he had to shout: "Stop, I have something to say!" ”
"Stop!"
Wei Shan also rushed up in time, grabbed the Qin soldier who tried to kill, and didn't let his short sword stab Yan Yan into the stomach, Yan Yan didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly shouted with a crying voice: "General Wei, I am a person from Great Qin, and I have always been a person from Great Qin!" I came to Lu County to surrender to the thief army on behalf of Song Weicheng for the sake of our Nanyang County of Great Qin! ”
"What do you mean?" Wei Shan was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered, "Make your words clear." ”
At this point, of course, Yan Yan didn't dare to hide it at all, so he could only tell Wei Shan and others what had happened, and honestly explained that he had gone north to surrender, all because of the instructions of Nanyang County Shou Lu Qi, the arrangement of the county lieutenant Cheng Song Yang, and the fact that he had successfully won Xiang Kang's trust. As a result, after knowing what happened, the Qin soldiers who were afraid of Qin Law of course changed their faces drastically, but Wei Shan was skeptical and asked, "There is no basis for what I say, why should I believe your words?" ”
"General Wei, if I was telling a lie, why did I honestly follow you to see the county lord of Li County just now?" Yan Yan snorted and tears and said, "I'm not afraid of being executed by your county honorable car?" I honestly followed you to see your county honor, just because I was running an errand for the Great Qin army, and your county lord only needed to send someone to Song Weicheng to ask if it was true or false, otherwise, I would have run away just now. ”
Wei Shan was obviously a little shaken, and Yan Yan hurriedly said: "General Wei, General Wei, you have to believe me, you must believe me, if you kill me, you will only miss Lu Junzun's big thing!" In the future, Lu Junzun will investigate the truth, if you find out that I died at your hands, you will definitely have to take responsibility! You take me to your county zun, ask your county zun to send someone to ask Lu Junzun, if I tell a lie, you will chop me up, and I will never complain! ”
Wei Shan nodded, and quickly said to the Qin soldiers present: "Brothers, since this person named Yan Yan dares to go to see the county zun with us, it means that he shouldn't be telling a lie, let's take him to see the county zun, and ask the county zun to send someone to investigate the truth or falsehood." ”
"Brother Wei, do you want to kill us?" The Qin soldier who had a bad idea to kill people and make money screamed miserably: "This puppet saw the county zun and told the county zun what happened just now, with the county zun's temper, how many of us still want to live?" ”
"You can't take him to see the county honor!" The other Qin soldiers also shouted, saying: "Let the county know that we want to kill people for money, none of us can escape, even if we don't kill our heads, we have to be beaten with military sticks, don't even think about running!" ”
"Brothers, brothers, don't worry, you put a hundred hearts." Yan Yan hurriedly promised: "I swear to the heavens, when I see your county honor, I will never say what happened just now, and I will never let your county lord know what happened just now!" ”
"The devil believes you!"
Several Qin soldiers roared in disbelief, and resolutely opposed taking Yan Yan back to hand over to the county commander of Lixian County, Wei Shan was extremely embarrassed, and said: "If you don't bring him back, then what should we do with him?" ”
Several Qin soldiers and soldiers all rolled their eyes and calculated, and also whispered in Wei Shan's ear, Yan Yan eavesdropped hard, and vaguely heard the words killing people and killing people, and couldn't help but be even more distracted, and quickly knelt down on Wei Shan, who was upright, and kowtowed desperately and said: "General Wei, General Wei, the little one can see that you are a righteous gentleman, and you are even more loyal to our Great Qin Imperial Court, you must not miss the major event of our Lu Junzun, and do not miss the major event of our Lu Junzun!" It was not easy for us to have hope of tricking the thief army into the mountain road, if you kill me, I can't bring the news back, and our Great Qin army won't be able to block Xiang Kang's thief army in the mountain road. ”
Fortunately, Wei Shan, who has an obscene appearance, is indeed a relatively upright person, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he squatted in front of Yan Huan, and said with a pleasant face: "Yan Zuo, since you have spoken to this point, I really believe that you are doing an errand for Lu Junzun, but for the sake of me, brothers who live and die together, I must not take you back and hand it over to our county honor, otherwise, as long as you promise me two conditions, I will let you go now, and let you go directly to Song Weicheng to return to your life, and do not delay your major affairs." ”
"General Wei, please say, as long as you let me go now, I will agree to any conditions." Yan Yan hurriedly replied.
"First, you swear to God, and swear that you will never tell anyone what happened today, as if it were not today." Wei Shan said: "Second, take half of your gold and give it to my brothers, I am not greedy for money, but my brothers can't work in vain, in the future, on the battlefield, I will not only rely on them to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but also rely on them to protect my life, you should also understand this truth." ”
"I understand! I know! General Wei, you are really a good person, really a great good person, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you with a good life, and I will definitely repay you again! ”
Yan Yan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore to the sky, using his eighteenth generation ancestors and his wife and children to guarantee that he would not tell today's matter, and that today's matter would never exist, and Yao Ying next to him also hurriedly swore under the persecution of Wei Shan, and also promised not to leak a word about today's matter to outsiders. Wei Shan also nodded with satisfaction, and personally untied Yan Huan and Yao Ying, and returned Yan Huan's examination and Xiang Kang's letter to him together, Yan Huan was very grateful, in addition to immediately distributing 100 gold to the Qin soldiers present, he insisted on giving Wei Shan a jade wall as a thank you, Wei Shan repeatedly refused, and had to accept it after thanking him.
The Qin army team that got the gold fulfilled its promise, and immediately asked Yan Huan and Yao Ying to take the remaining gold and jade walls to the south on the mountain road, Yan Huan and Yao Ying, who escaped from death, were afraid that the Qin soldiers would regret it, and they didn't dare to have the slightest delay, so they ran out of more than 20 miles in one breath before stopping to rest, but it was also at this time that Yao Ying, who was out of breath, asked Yan Huan: "Brother Yan, what happened just now, do you want to tell Song Weicheng when you go back?" ”
Yan Yan pondered, and quickly said: "I can't say it, I can't say it to anyone!" We have just made a poisonous oath, what should we do if we break our oath and blame the ghosts and gods? Besides, that elder named Wei Shan is so good and saved our lives, can we bear to let him be affected? ”
When Yao Ying nodded hurriedly, Yan Yan added another sentence in his stomach, and said secretly: "It must not be said that in order to survive, I told a few pawns about Lu Junzun's confidential affairs, if Lu Junzun knows that he is to blame, not only will I definitely run in vain this trip, but I may also go to prison to ask for guilt." ”
It was precisely because of this concern that after returning to Song Yang's camp in the south, Yan Yan really didn't dare to tell Song Yang what he encountered in the mountain road, and told another party, Yao Ying, to keep it strictly confidential and gag his mouth with ten gold. Of course, Song Yang was overjoyed, in addition to immediately making military preparations to hold the danger, he also sent a fast horse to Ye County as soon as possible, and reported the good news to Nanyang County Shou Lu Qi that the fraudulent surrender had been successfully achieved.
