Chapter 108: Wu Yunzhao pierced his heart with an arrow, and Yang Yong was shocked when he saw the secret envoy
On the second day, in the afternoon, Yang Er and the Chinese soldiers and horses finally arrived in Jincheng County, but did not enter the city immediately, but according to the guidance of Wu Yunzhao's generals, they came to a low mountain west of Jincheng and saw Wu Yunzhao, the commander of the White Horse Battalion, who had not been seen for several days, and the White Horse Battalion had been waiting here for 3 days.
"General Yunzhao, is everything ready? Horses, 20 days of rations, these are the ones that you carry with you. Yang Er immediately asked when he saw Wu Yunzhao with an excited face.
"Your Highness, everything in our department is ready, there is not even a single sick sergeant, and the morale of the whole army is high." Wu Yunzhao stepped forward to salute and hurriedly replied. In fact, in this cold weather, nearly 100 of Wu Yunzhao's carefully selected elites also had physical conditions, but the strong desire to fight and the desire to make meritorious contributions made none of the more than 100 sick people willing to stay. Wu Yunzhao went to see every sick person, but fortunately, there were some minor problems, and there was no major problem, so Wu Yunzhao did not refuse everyone's desire to make meritorious contributions, and agreed to act with the army.
As he spoke, Yang Er walked into Wu Yunzhao's marching tent with the generals, and there was a table in the center of the tent, on which was spread out the top-secret map that Yang Er sent over. Yang Er pointed to a place on the map marked as the name of Nanlongguan and said: "Yun Zhao you come to see, here Nanlongguan, 400 miles away from Jincheng, this king wants you to rush here within 5 days, according to the intelligence, this pass is dangerous, there are 800 Tuyuhun soldiers stationed here." The king wants you to raid this pass at night and take it in one fell swoop. ”
Wu Yunzhao looked at Nanlongguan on the map and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, I have a white horse from 10,000 fine horses, and now there is no problem to travel 100 miles a day, counting the impact of mountain roads and wind and snow, there should be no problem in running 400 miles in 5 days." Wu Yunzhao replied very affirmatively. Judging by the speed of the march in the wind and snow in recent days, this rushing mission should be achievable.
"Okay, General Yunzhao, after taking Nanlong Pass, you only have one day to repair, and then go here." With that, Yang Er's fingers slid all the way west from Nanlongguan until he slid to the location of a big city sign before stopping. Wu Yunzhao and the eyes of the generals in the account followed Yang Er's fingers.
"Fuyu City?" Yuwen Chengdu was beside Yang Er, and he couldn't help but shout out when he saw these words on the map first.
"That's right, Fu Yu City, this is the tooth city of Tuyuhun country, also called Tuyuhun City. It is 900 miles away from Nanlongguan here, all of which are mountain roads, and some sections of the road are cliff plank roads, and the cavalry can only dismount and lead them through. Because of this, there were not many Tuyuhun garrisons along the road. It's a dangerous road that is rarely visited! Yang Er did not immediately issue the task, but only emphasized the hardships and dangers of this trail.
"Your Highness is saying that let me Baimayi go west along this trail from Nanlongguan with all the soldiers of the battalion, and directly attack Tugu Hun Fu Ya City?" Wu Yunzhao was a little unsure if this was the case, so he asked.
"! Damn it, this battle is called happy, and an arrow pierces the heart! Hehe! Before Yang Er could answer, he only heard Wu Bao, the black-faced man beside Wu Yunzhao, shouting loudly.
"Huh! General Wu Bao is right, your white horse is a sharp arrow of this king, and it is precisely for you to go straight into the ambush city, and only in that city can there be the princes, nobles, queens and princesses of the Tuyuhun Kingdom. According to reliable insider information, there are not many men and horses in this city, and there are at most 5,000 defenders. The king still has a plan, and if it is successful, the number of defenders can be reduced to 3000. At that time, it will be me 10,000 to 3,000, after the night raid to break the city, General Wu Bao, do you know what to do? Yang Er directly explained Wu Yunzhao's next plan in detail, and joked with Wu Bao, so that the generals could recover from the shock.
"Lord Wang, can you still not know this? Yun summoned the eldest brother to catch Shan Yu and the prince, and the last general will go to catch the queen and princess for the prince! Guarantee that none of them will be able to run. Wu Bao said loudly, and as soon as the words fell, the generals in the tent burst into laughter, and Yang Er also couldn't stop laughing.
"Second brother, are you also a little biased?" After Yuwen Chengdu on the side finished laughing, he immediately looked unhappy, and the old man with a pulled face said in a sullen voice.
Yang Er knew his thoughts as soon as he heard it, this Yuwen Cheng was envious of Wu Yunzhao's ability to break through the ambush city, and there was a possibility of capturing Murong Shan Yu in one fell swoop, which was a great merit, but it had nothing to do with him as a general, so he was quite unhappy.
"Chengdu! Don't blame my brother for not taking care of you, I expect that Murong Shan will escape from Fuyu City at that time, and his escape route is here. With that, he swiped his finger across the map.
"Brother, are you saying that King Shan Yu will run in the direction of Wuwei." Yuwen Chengdu asked suspiciously.
"Yacheng was broken, Murong Shan Yu must flee here, there are nearly 200,000 of his troops here, which is enough to protect his life. If you don't run here, where will you go? When Chengdu comes, you will kill from Wuwei City, cover and kill the Tuyuhun army all the way, and if you are lucky, you can hit the big luck. Do you say that my brother is still biased? Yang Er said to Yuwen Chengdu with a relaxed face. In fact, only Yuwen Chengdu has the ability to complete the cover all the way on the pursuit road, and the majestic sea is not good.
"Good! Brother, don't worry! Ben will lead the brigade to Wuwei in a hurry, and he will go late, so he will have to let the male sunspot snatch the credit. By the way, Brother Wu, you must leave this soup for my brother and me to drink, don't eat alone after the city of Fuyu is broken. The brothers don't do it! After listening to Yuwen Chengdu's words, everyone laughed again.
"Your Highness, I, Wu Yun Zhao, wish to lead Bai Ma Yi from the camp to make this heart-digging arrow, lightly equipped, and run 1,300 miles. It will bring good news to Your Highness. After Wu Yun summoned everyone to laugh, he said with a straight face.
"Good! Now start preparing to leave tonight. Pay attention to hiding your whereabouts along the way, and if you meet the people of Tuyuhun on the road, remember not to leave a living mouth, so as not to leak the news. Also, after entering the city, someone from our military intelligence department will contact you, and you will need to cooperate with him. Yang Er admonished.
"Yes, Ben will go and prepare." After speaking, he took Wu Bao out of the big tent with confidence.
"Don't be stunned! Let's hurry up and run to Wuwei! Yang Er looked at Yuwen Chengdu, who was still stunned, and said. Everyone hurriedly followed Yang Er to the outside of the account.
Pingliang County.
Prince Yang Yong, accompanied by Yu Wenhua, Zhang Xun, and Yu Wenkai, and a group of pro-army generals finally arrived in Pingliang City, and the county guard in the city hurriedly took Yang Yong and his party to the pavilion to rest. The accompanying generals were also properly placed, and there were also 3 dancing girls who came with the car, which Yang Er had already asked Yu Wenhua's military intelligence department to prepare for the crown prince Yang Yong. As Yang Er expected, as soon as Yang Yong arrived in Pingliang City, he no longer wanted to go west, and he was ready to place his camp in Pingliang City. It is a day and a half away from Wuwei City, which is already very close to the border city of Wuwei, so there is no need to go west. Zhang Xutuo's foot soldiers also set up a large camp outside Pingliang City and stopped marching. Along the way, the condition of Zhang Xutuo's Hongnong infantry was miserable, and the cloth shoes on the feet of many sergeants were worn out, and all the objects that could protect against the cold were wrapped around their bodies, resulting in an extremely untidy military appearance, like a fleeing flower. Zhang Xutuo saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, these are the Hongnong disciples who have followed him for many years! Although no cases of freezing have been found to have died, nearly half of the 10,000-strong army suffered from frostbite. As an experienced general, Zhang Xutuo knew in his heart that it was impossible for this man to march in the snow anymore, and his combat effectiveness was almost zero, and he would be sent to death directly when he went to Wuwei. Fortunately, under the coordination of the prince, a lot of food and clothing were supplied to the counties along the road, which is also the reason why no one has frozen to death in his own footsteps.
"Mr. Huaji, as the coordinator of Hedong County, why can't you order your Hedong Rear Army to allocate some military uniforms and coal for heating to our department? I have to be angry with this little family! Yang Yong relieved himself a little in the post house, and asked Yu Wenhua who came to greet him depressedly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame the lower officials, all the materials of the Hedong Rear Army are under the jurisdiction of Lord Chen Tian of the Logistics Materials Department, he is the confidant of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he is directly responsible for the King of Jin himself, how can the lower officials call him, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will bear with me." Yu Wenhua said goodbye, and apologized again and again.
"Humph! I can't imagine that you, a military division, will lose to a small logistics officer. Yang Yong said even more depressed. In fact, it was at the suggestion of Zhang Xutuo that he asked Yu Wenhua for supplies. Zhang Xutuo has long coveted the thousands of carts of supplies of the Hedong army, especially the military uniforms on the car are something he has never seen, it seems to be particularly warm, and the Hedong sergeant has a whole body including hats and individual equipment, which makes all the Hongnong infantry envious.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send a letter to His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the name of supervising the army, as long as the King of Jin allows it, how can there be any reason not to give it?" Yu Wenhua pushed the ball to Yang Er in order to resolve the embarrassment. Yang Yong listened, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and stopped talking.
After Yu Wenhua and got out of the post house, he immediately went to the logistics department of the rear army to discuss with Chen Tian. The members of the logistics department have also found a station in the wide area of the city, and they are eating dinner on a lively fire! Including the people, the army guards and the logistics hospital, the number of people is also nearly 20,000, plus thousands of carriages, wheelbarrows, etc., it is really a large team.
"Director Chen, tonight is here to rest and rest, will nourish the spirit, tomorrow 5 do not have to start the fire, let everyone eat dry food, hurry up the camp, go to Wuwei City, there are almost a hundred miles away. It's easy to have accidents here, and there are a lot of people here who are red-eyed! Yu Wenhua said to Chen Tian with a grim expression. He was not afraid that the prince would order a forced conscription, but he was afraid that tomorrow during the day, Hongnong's foot soldiers would come to rob him after he slowed down, which would be a big trouble.
"Okay, Lord Yuwen, the lower officials don't have to wait until the 5th watch, let's go out of the city quietly and go straight to Wuwei on the 3rd watch. Lest you have a long night and a lot of dreams, these materials are the treasures of Your Highness, if something goes wrong, the official will have no face to live again! Chen Tian also felt a little nervous, and hurriedly said to Yu Wenhua.
"It's good! At that time, you don't have to look for the official, you can go by yourself, and the official and the prince will have to deal with it here. ”
"Good! Take care of adults. ”
After the order, Yu Wenhua left the logistics brigade and rushed back to the post house with several guards to rest.
It's just that Yu Wenhua didn't know at this time that a convoy of business travelers had already taken advantage of the chaos to get into the city. The leader is none other than Bogra, the Tuyuhun national teacher who has returned to his old business. Bogra made a big circle from the edge of Wuwei City and rushed to Pingliang City non-stop, because he had already reported that this was the base camp of Yang Yong, the prince of the Sui Dynasty. On the road to the post house, the Tuyuhun military division saw all the Hongnong flower soldiers brought by the crown prince Yang Yong from Meiwu City, looking at the dilapidated military appearance of these soldiers, Bogra covered his face with his hands, but all he could see from the exposed eyes was disdain.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the post house. And they rested in a small room beside them. Coming out of the room again, Bogra had already changed into a clean thick shirt dress, looking like a wealthy merchant official, followed by an attendant who was also dressed in general, but this attendant was holding a gift box in his hand. The two came all the way to the outside of the room where the prince Yang Yong was resting, and through the guard's report, the two followed the guard into Yang Yong's room smoothly. Yang Yong's room is very large, there is a special living room, at this time Yang Yong heard that there was a rich merchant from the Western Regions visiting overnight, so he gave up the dancing girl on the bed, and reluctantly came to the living room to meet the rich businessman from the Western Regions who visited at night.
After waiting in the living room for a while, Yang Yong moved from the back room to the living room, and under the candlelight, he saw a middle-aged man with a tall posture, exuding an aura of wealth and dignity, and a face that was obviously of the Western Regions. Yang Yong was hesitating, he was searching in his mind, wondering who this person was?
Bogra had seen the crown prince Yang Yong in Chang'an, and as soon as he saw this person, he had already recognized it, and hurriedly took two steps forward, folded his hands, bowed to the ground, and said: "Xiaomin came to visit late at night, disturbing His Royal Highness the prince's rest, sin, sin!" ”
Yang Yong couldn't remember who this person was, but seeing that the person was very polite, he calmed down and asked casually, "Dare to ask where Mr. is from?" What is the reason for coming to see Prince Ben late at night? After that, Yang Yong himself sat down on the chair first, and then raised his hand to signal the comer, and sat down to talk first.
"Oh! The small people do business on this line all year round, and travel back and forth with the Western Regions and the Central Plains. Today, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, so I prepared some gifts for the Prince, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accept it with a smile. With that, Bogra turned around and took the gift box from the hands of his entourage, and dedicated his hands to Yang Yong's eyes.
"Oh? There are countless treasures in the prince's mansion, Mr. is not my Great Sui people, and now this place is in the place where the two armies are fighting, Mr. is unknown, and the prince can't accept this gift from you. After that, Yang Yong didn't look at the gift box in front of him, so he shirked it.
"Huh!" Seeing that Yang Yong was still holding a shelf, Bogra felt quite amused, and thought to himself, the treasures in your mansion are not tributed by officials with plans. I also put the gift box on the table. He coughed lightly and continued: "I am dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaomin is the master of the Tuyuhun Country, and I have made a special trip to visit His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have brought a letter from Murong Shan Yu himself. With that, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the crown prince Yang Yong.
Yang Yong was stunned when he heard him. Why did he just arrive here, Tugu Hun Shan Yu sent someone to find him. What does this letter say? A burst of curiosity aroused, and he couldn't help but reach out and take the letter, and turned slightly to the side, and opened the letter under the candlelight and read it.
"Ahh This ---" Yang Yong couldn't help but be shocked after reading the letter, and opened his mouth speechless.
