Chapter 25 There is another hidden plot layout
Bai Daogong's words made Xue Ne hesitate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He had several contacts with Wang Haibin, and knew that he knew how to know soldiers, had a bold temperament, was bold in using soldiers, and was indomitable. With his temperament, once he found out that the Tibetans wanted to retreat, the order and the pursuit would be carried out at the same time. Instead of waiting for the heralds to return, the three armies acted together and delayed the fighters.
It cannot be ruled out that there is indeed a possibility that the herald did not arrive and was killed by the Tubo Guerrilla Army!
Generals Yang Chuke, Kang Haiyuan, Li Chang, Ma Wei, and Zhao Chengen also arrived at this time.
Listening to the reason, Kang Haiyuan said: "Ambassador, ignoring the general's order, sitting and watching the victory and defeat lead to the loss of the teacher, no matter which one is a great capital crime. The two generals, Meng and Ma, had no contact with the Wang military envoys, and they were not afraid of war and death. This has no hatred or resentment, and there is no reason to catch himself. ”
Yang Chuke said: "Today's victory is certainly the reason why the Wang army fought to the death. The two generals Meng and Ma desperately supported the retreat of Tubo is also the key. For unknown reasons, the meritorious generals were punished, and the army was afraid that they would not be convinced. ”
Li Chang said: "Right and wrong, it's not too late for the ambassador to investigate clearly and then make a decision, why rush for a while?" ”
Zhao Chengen also said: "Our military has just broken the Tubo retreat, and the current situation is to recover the lost territory." ”
They say what you say, and what I say is mostly Meng Lin and Ma Qing.
Seeing that the army's heart was like this, Xue Ne's anger in his heart stopped for a while, temporarily put the matter down, and ordered the three armies to go south to Taozhou to recover the lost territory in Taozhou.
Pei Min didn't know the situation, so he didn't interject, and when he saw the generals taking orders, he asked the reason.
Xue Ne knew that his righteous grandson was resourceful and trustworthy, and he knew the situation in detail.
Pei Min didn't expect such a powerful character to emerge, thinking of the tragic battlefield near Yu Didao today, he finally understood what was happening, and was amazed, but also sorry for his death. Wang Haibin did not appear in his memory, but his performance was inferior to those famous generals in his memory?
Xue Ne frowned and said: "Wang Haibin is brave and strategic, saying that he is greedy for merit and attacking alone, and the prince will not believe it anyway. But what the generals said is not unreasonable, Wang Haibin is a military envoy of Feng'an, Meng Lin and Ma Qing have nothing to do with him, and there is really no reason to risk their lives and disobey orders. Was it really an accident? Heaven is going to kill him? ”
"Let my grandson investigate this matter!" Pei Min had seen with his own eyes the traces left by Wang Haibin before his death, and he had a fascinated admiration for the general who had never met but who shined with him in this Tibetan invasion. It is a pity that such a person has not been able to see and make friends, and it will never tolerate his death so unclear. If it's an accident, it's just a thing, if it's really boring, it will be thoroughly investigated, so he said: "Sun Er is the middle prince of the imperial history and the deputy envoy of defense." When such a thing occurs in the military, it is reasonable to have the obligation to find out clearly. ”
Xue Ne said in a deep voice: "Okay, you have defended the Golden City, which is already a great achievement." This time you were able to break through Tibet, and you and Wang Haibin made great contributions. Taozhou strategy, just let it be given to others, it is a taboo in the army for one person to take over the great merit alone. Just in time to be able to spare my hands and investigate this matter carefully. Wang Haibin is a hero, how can I be burdened by him for the crime of being greedy for merit and leaving a stain on history? ”
Pei Min responded: "Don't worry, Taigong, my grandson will definitely find out and not let the hero be ashamed." After a pause, he said: "Does Taigong have a certain understanding of Yang Chuke, Kang Haiyuan, Li Chang, Ma Wei, and Zhao Chengen?" ”
Xue Ne shook his head, he guarded the northeast all the year round and did not know about the generals of the Beijing Division, and it was not until he took over the position of defense envoy that he had a certain contact with them: he found that these generals of the DPRK and China were all elites, but most of them were on paper in military affairs. Speaking of the head, it is the way, but in fact, few can be put on the stage.
"Do you think it has something to do with them? Impossible, right? ”
Pei Min shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't know." But one thing is certain, they are all the way. Can't Taigong see that a few of them are blindly helping Meng Lin and Ma Qing to speak? The affairs of the DPRK and China are not their own business, and they do not have to worry about it. They came up everywhere to clarify for Meng Lin and Ma Qing. To investigate Meng Lin and Ma Qing, the relationship between them must be clarified, so as not to spoil a big thing. ”
"It's easy to do!" Xue Ne recalled the previous incident, it was because of the persuasion of several people one by one that the anger in his heart was counteracted, and he instantly understood that things did not seem to be so simple, "I immediately asked people to go back to Chang'an to ask Brother Guo, he has worked in the military department for many years, and he should know a lot about the relationship between generals." ”
Pei Min said: "As soon as there is news, tell me quickly." The Tubo army was defeated, and Taozhou was at your fingertips. My grandson doesn't go to get involved, I go to the field to see if I can find anything. ”

At the same time!
"You're so bold!" Bai Daogong glared at Ma Qing angrily, so angry that he almost swayed.
Ma Qingdi shrugged his head and said: "The humble post is acting according to the general's orders, why is the general blaming the humble position?" ”
Bai Daogong said in a low voice: "I'm asking you to find a way to drag Wang Haibin back and let him be defeated." To prove that my suggestion was the best solution, and you drove him to death? ”
Ma Qing said aggrievedly: "General, it's really no wonder to me, Tubo is already planning to retreat." If I don't do it, Wang Haibin will take all the credit, at that time Wang Haibin became famous in a war, and the general's bad idea will be laughed at by future generations, and it is also helpless to humble himself. That's when I made up my mind......"
Bai Daogong's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk about it." Things can be done properly, don't give Xue Ne and Pei Min a handle. ”
Ma Qing smiled confidently: "General rest assured!" ”
**********
Bidding farewell to Xue Ne, Pei Min took Yang Yun and Kendrick to leave the Taoshui temporary military camp and came to the Weiyuan Military Horse Farm, where they took a look at the three military camps.
Wang Haibin divided it into three and distributed the camps of the three armies according to the situation of horns, which was a clever move. Regardless of mobility, it is far better than being crowded in the military horse farm. From this detail alone, it can be seen that Wang Haibin has a strategy in his chest. However, as Meng Lin and Ma Qing said, the three battalions are separated by a certain distance, and they can't be seen clearly during the day. Wang Haibin sent troops at night, and if they hadn't received the news, they might have been unaware.
There's nothing wrong with their rhetoric!
Pei Min closed his eyes and thought carefully:
"I arranged the camp last night, discussed the military with General Ma for a while, and went to sleep."
"It wasn't until dawn that we found out about the camp of the king's envoy, and the building was empty, and we didn't know the reason at all."
"The last general and General Ma didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only follow the footprints to find the whereabouts of the military envoy."
"I didn't want to find out that the military envoy was surrounded by the Tubo army, so I hurriedly set up troops to rescue the Wang military envoy, but it was just a step too late."
……
Meng Lin and Ma Qing's words flashed in his mind over and over again!
Suddenly, a detail flashed in his mind!
A trace of anger flashed in Pei Min's eyes, and he said without hesitation: "Yang Yun, Kendrick, you make a detour to the left and right to the west, go around in a big circle, go to the battlefield we passed by before, and after arriving at the destination, come back directly." He ordered five more people to go to the battlefield where Wang Haibin was killed in different ways, and quickly rushed back. There was even a soldier who rode slowly.
Two hours later, Yang Yun came back first, and after waiting for another quarter of an hour, Kendrick rushed back. Except for the one who rode slowly, all those who had arranged to go out did not return in more than three hours.
So much to do!
Pei Min's face was smeared with a layer of frost, and he arranged for soldiers to go back and forth between the military horse farm and Meng Lin and Ma Qing's camps to find the corpses.
Really!
On the way to meet each other's camps, two bodies were found.
"Proof" is here!
This is the evidence that proves the innocence of Meng Lin and Ma Qing, and they have not received evidence of Wang Haibin's arraignment.
Pei Min brought the two bodies back to the barracks.
Xue Ne looked at the two corpses, stunned, and said for a long time: "Is it really providence?" ”
Pei Min looked at Xue Ne, who had a sad face, and didn't say anything. He had a hunch that things were not so simple, and Meng Lin and Ma Qing's immobility might have a deeper meaning. So many generals and generals say good things for them, things are far from being as simple as imagined. Only by waiting for Guo Yuanzhen's news can we determine whether what he thinks is correct.
After waiting for four days, Xue Ne's henchmen sent Guo Yuanzhen's secret letter, in which the relationship between Yang Chuke, Kang Haiyuan, Li Chang, Ma Wei, Zhao Chengen and others was clarified in detail.
Pei Min looked at Guo Yuanzhen's letter, and the chill on his face was even stronger.
Xue Ne looked at Pei Min suspiciously: "Is there still a hidden secret?" ”
Pei Min said with a smile: "Taigong wait to see a good show, grandson will ask for justice for Wang Jun'er." Although I don't know why, none of the people involved in the attempt to shield will be spared. He said it with a smile, but Xue Ne felt an inexplicable chill from that smile.
Xue Ne's face was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it really that serious? ”
Pei Min bowed his head and said: "I'm afraid that only a few of us are in the dark about this matter, even if they are not behind the scenes, this crime of covering up will definitely not be able to escape." ”
Xue Ne suddenly said: "Maybe I know the reason, when I held a military meeting, Wang Junenvoy once refuted Bai Daogong's idea. It's just that he is a dignified four-grade general, so he won't be so narrow! ”
Pei Min sneered: "People's hearts are unpredictable! After a pause, he said: "My grandson wants to go to Chang'an to find a foreign aid, but the matter is too big for one person to bear." ”
Xue Ne said without hesitation: "Count the Taigong one, let's carry it together!" If it really doesn't work, let Taigong come forward. You have a great future ahead of you. is not as good as Taigong, and he is about to die. ”
Pei Min shook his head and said, "Taigong's kind grandson understands it, you are always a general, and it is a bad thing to get involved." Speaking of this, he said resolutely: "Yu Gong's grandson is the deputy envoy of defense and the middle of the imperial history, and Yu Gong's army is a hero, not for justice and justice, but also for his own moral bottom line to seek justice for him." It is most appropriate for the grandson to handle this matter. It's just that if you want to catch them all, you must lay out a game and an overall situation. ”
