Chapter Seventy-Six: Lies
The man wore a centurion's helmet on his head, a soldier's suit, and it was obviously not a suit, the shirt was too short, the trousers were too fat, and he was wearing a pair of cowhide boots on his feet, which the Han army had never had.
Zhao Yueru immediately followed. The man zigzagged and turned, obviously avoiding people, looking for a place where no one was, and the direction he walked was towards the camp gate, but not the camp gate.
Trumpets sounded in the distance, and the soldiers began to assemble.
Zhao Yueru wanted to summon others to help several times, but the soldiers were already busy gathering, and besides, this person was looking for a place where no one was going, and she couldn't find anyone. She didn't dare to turn back again, for fear of losing this person. Listening to the sound of the horn, Zhao Yueru knew that if she didn't return in time, she was afraid that she would be thrown here, so she mustered up the courage to raise her voice and shouted, "Who are you?" ”
The man was taken aback by someone following him, he screamed strangely, and pulled out his waist knife with his backhand to face Zhao Yueru.
This time, Zhao Yueru understood, this is the secret agent of the Jin Army! That waist knife is obviously the style of the Jin Army!
Zhao Yueru took two steps back sharply and stared at this person.
Seeing that Zhao Yueru had no weapon in his hand, this person was much bolder, and was about to step forward, but he heard the sound of the horn in the distance again.
He hesitated. If he attacks the Han people on the opposite side now, he may not be able to catch up with the Han people as soon as they run, and once the Han people call someone, he will definitely not be able to run away alone.
He looked at Zhao Yueru, suddenly grinned, and said in proficient Chinese: "This little brother, you are so brave. Zamuhe admires you very much. With that, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the camp like a bird.
Zhao Yueru watched as Zamuhe climbed the camp gate. She had no weapons in her hand, and she was afraid that it would be too late to call people back, so she thought about it for a while, so she had to let this person escape, and hurried back to the free camp, but it was too late, and the troops had already been deployed. She chased all the way, and it took forty miles to catch up.
Zhao Yueru finished speaking.
Wei Qing stayed there motionless, sweat slowly dripping from his face. His eyes widened like brass bells.
"Hey, hey, hey~~~" Zhao Yueru's hand shook in front of Wei Qing's eyes, panicked in her heart, and she didn't know what evil disease Wei Qing had committed.
"Zamuhe, it's Zamuhe." Wei Qing muttered to himself.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Yueru was a little panicked, "Brother Wei, don't scare me." ”
"It's Zamuhe!" Wei Qing suddenly roared, jumped up, and walked rapidly on the ground, ignoring that he was still barefoot, his excited face shone brightly, and he said continuously: "Uncle Liu is saved!" It's not Uncle Liu, it's Zamuhe! After escaping from Suzaku Mountain, he didn't have time to escape back to the Jin army camp, but lurked in our camp and waited for the opportunity to escape, so he knew the movement of our army! He was the one who told the news! ”
Zhao Yueru was confused when she heard it, and asked repeatedly, "What?" What exactly are you talking about? Who's tipping the news? What's going on? ”
Wei Qing naturally couldn't tell Zhao Yueru this secret, and he didn't have time to talk to Zhao Yueru in detail, he put on his boots on his left and right feet, and said in a stack: "I'm going to see General Wu!" This is so good, Miss Zhao, you are so good! Wei Qing suddenly reached out and hugged Zhao Yueru, kissed her heavily on the face, and rushed straight out of the door.
With a bang, the rope in Zhao Yueru's hand fell to the ground, and the size of the square measure was all messed up all of a sudden. Of course, what is even more messy is her shy daughter's heart.
Wei Qing galloped all the way and went straight to Wu Ming's Chinese army tent, if Wu Ming hadn't stopped the guards in time, Wei Qing would have almost been cut down as an assassin.
Wei Qing didn't care whether Wu Ming wanted to hear it or not, he told the matter in a few words, and finally said: "It was definitely not General Liu who reported the news!" ”
Wu Ming looked at Wei Qing, pondered for a moment, and slowly asked, "Since it wasn't him who reported the news, why did he take the initiative to admit it?" Is there such an idiot in the world? ”
"That's for me!" Wei Qing's eyes turned red, "General Liu didn't know that it was Zamuhe who reported the news, he thought that it was the Jin Army who judged the movement of our army, if this is the case, I am the one who came up with the idea to go around from behind the Jin Army to the right, it means that my idea is wrong, at least there is a problem, I have brought a threat to the whole army." So he simply admitted that he had reported it himself, in order to protect my reputation! Speaking of this, Wei Qing's voice suddenly lowered, as if he was talking to himself, "Uncle Liu is guilty because he hurt me before, so he took all the sins by himself, but begged to die." He just said, not noticing that he didn't call Liu Anbang "General Liu", but unconsciously called him "Uncle Liu".
Wu Ming thought for a while, and somewhat believed Wei Qing's statement, and said to Wei Qing: "You call the person who spread the news, and I will ask it myself." ”
Wei Qing froze.
In Wu Ming's view, this request is very normal, a major issue involving whether General Chang is a traitor, of course, you have to investigate it personally, you can't just listen to Wei Qing's words of paraphrasing and draw conclusions, but for Wei Qing, it is a big problem.
He didn't tell Wu Ming that Zhao Yueru told him, but only that "a soldier" found out about it. The problem is that he can't call this "soldier" because this soldier is a woman.
Bai Buxin once told Liu Anbang that they found Zhao Yueru in the chaotic army in the encounter with the Jin army, but now what Zhao Yueru said is obviously before this, before the time when he had not passed the Vermilion Bird Mountain. With such a major issue, it is impossible for Wu Ming not to confront Zhao Yueru and Liu Anbang. But a confrontational question came out: Liu Anbang said that Zhao Yueru was a woman found in the wartime chaos after crossing the Vermilion Bird Mountain and the Jin Army, but Zhao Yueru said that she was in the army as early as before the Vermilion Bird Mountain, where is this confession worthwhile? If you want to tell the truth, he Wei Qing was punished second, and Bai Buxin was also packed inside. Since the discovery of Zhao Yueru, without Bai Buxin's order, it is impossible for Zhao Yueru to hide in the camp disguised as a personal soldier for so long without being discovered, and not long ago, Bai Buxin also openly lied to Liu Anbang, saying that Zhao Yueru was found in the chaos. These crimes have accumulated, and the lightest punishment is dismissal, and if you want to chase it down, Hua Rong also knows that Zhao Yueru is still helping Wei Qing cover up in the army, and she will be punished. He can't betray Bai Buxin and Hua Rong together in order to save Uncle Liu, right?
"Well, that soldier was badly wounded, and he was dead when I came." Wei Qing stammered and replied.
Wu Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Qing. He was thinking about whether Wei Qing was telling the truth or lying to save Liu Anbang. He couldn't let Wei Qing carry the corpse, because Wei Qing could just pull over a corpse and claim that he told him, anyway, people can't open their mouths when they die, which is called death without proof.
Sweat drippedly down Wei Qing's forehead. He suddenly said loudly: "General Wu, I vouch for it with my head, General Liu is definitely not a rebel!" ”
"I've got a lot of heads on my desk." Wu Ming picked up a stack of papers, "At least three generals Chang, four generals, and seven generals have vouched for their heads." ”
It turned out that Wu Ming arrested Liu Anbang, although the real reason was not announced to the public, but it was unreasonable not to give a reason for such a big matter, so Wu Ming's external reason was that Liu Anbang betrayed the intelligence of the Han army. As a result, he received a bunch of pleas "with a head guarantee".
"Put my head on it too!" Wei Qing refused to let go.
Wu Ming smiled bitterly.
In fact, Wei Qing is quite good, after all, he knows the inside story of this matter, most of the generals who don't know the inside story have seen Wu Ming coldly reprimanded Liu Anbang before, and many of them think that Wu Ming is having a personal vendetta in the communiqué. As far as he knew, General Chang had already secretly revised a book to the Ministry of War to complain for Liu Anbang.
"Wei Qing, it's a big trouble, I can't let Liu Anbang go because of your family's words," Wu Ming slowed down his tone and appeased Wei Qing, "If you can come up with evidence, Ben Shuai has his own decision, if there is no evidence, Ben Shuai will not easily convict Liu Anbang, Ben Shuai will definitely weigh it repeatedly, at least you let Ben Shuai think of the possibility that Liu Anbang admits that he reported to Jin Jun or protects you." Ben Shuai will definitely investigate well. ”
Wei Qing was speechless. He could only salute Wu Ming and leave.
Outsiders shouted and neighed, and another batch of reinforcements arrived. Wei Qing quickly whipped up and returned to the camp to train his troops.
On the opposite side of the Han army, the Jin army was also adding troops and generals, gathering grass and grain. Ships have always been the most headache for the Jin army, although the number of ships has increased after efforts, but it is still very tense, the Jin army can not solve it for a while, they have grown on horseback all their lives, they are really ignorant of things on the water, they can only do their best. For a time, the Jin army was also unable to launch a major attack.
In the middle military tent of the Jin army, Wanyan Wushu was listening to Zamuhe's complaints---- yes, it was a complaint.
"King Khan, our food and herbs are already tight, and now we have to transport so many messy things for those Han people, I don't think it's worth it!" Zamuhe, who had just been promoted to the rank of captain, stiffened his neck and said indignantly.
He couldn't help but be angry. He provided information in time but still failed to completely annihilate the left route army of the Han army, and finally annihilated a 10,000-person team of the Han army, captured more than 100 Han soldiers and a general Chang, but did not expect that Yan Wushu was not only not allowed to kill them, but specially allocated them more than a dozen cowhide tents specially prepared for the emperor's relatives to live in during the inspection, and did their best to do extravagant things, and also sent dozens of Jin women to serve the Chang general, I really don't know who captured whom, did they Jin people become slaves of the Han people? Now his 10,000-strong team is short of food and grass, but the ship does not transport the grain and grass he urgently needs, but rushes to transport the Mobei Divine Camel that General Chang, surnamed Gu, wants!
