Chapter 98: The Tiance Army Becomes Famous (5)
"Official, if you can persuade General Yue to surrender, will His Highness really reward the villain with a thousand guan?"
On the way to the rebel forward camp, a rebel soldier who was not very honest was cautiously asking Li Yingxu who was dressed in disguise, and this soldier was naturally the rebel spy who told Yue Changxu about the situation to the imperial army.
Because he could not withstand torture to extract confessions, this spy confessed everything he knew to the court without restraint. Of course, Li Ye also used money to tempt him and let him do things for him.
"Nature." Li Yingxu affirmed, "One thousand guan is not the final number, if you succeed, Your Highness will definitely reward you more, so you have to seize this opportunity." ”
Although the spy in front of him has no temperament at all, and he will surrender when he says he will surrender, but Li Yingxu does not look down on the other party. How many of these rebels really want to rebel? Except for some of the rebels who were bent on rebellion, most of the others were coerced and had to rebel, so under Li Ye's way of smashing money with money, the other party was definitely willing to surrender to the imperial court.
Not to mention other rewards, let's just say that this thousand, this spy has never seen so much money. This money is enough for him to buy dozens or hundreds of acres of land in his hometown, become a small landlord, take a good wife, and then live a good life.
"Really?" The spy man was obviously a little excited, but he also knew that it would not be easy for him to get this money.
"Of course, but you must complete this mission, the first thing is to bring us into the rebel camp and meet Yue Changxu smoothly. In addition, you also have to spread among the rebels, the court this time to quell the rebellion, only punish the evil, as long as the others are willing to surrender, they can return to their hometowns after the war.
The rest is none of your business, understand? Li Yingxu admonished.
Li Yingxu's very indifferent chat did not reassure Qin Yi'an and Zhong Wei, who were following behind him, but instead looked closer and closer to the rebel camp, and his heart became more and more bottomless. As students of the first phase of the Martial Arts Academy, and they were also the best two, they didn't expect to perform such a dangerous mission, but the two of them chose to obey the order in the end.
Of course, they knew the benefits of a successful mission, and they also knew the consequences of failure, but they were rich and dangerous, so they decided to participate in this mission. In fact, the students of the first phase of the Martial Arts Academy are more courageous, otherwise they would not have applied for such a strange school. As the best in the first issue, the two are also competing with each other, after all, the first and the second are still different, who doesn't want to compete for the first.
However, when it came time to actually carry out the mission, they were also a little hesitant in their hearts, which was different from the previous killing of enemies on the battlefield. Before, there were many comrades-in-arms around, but this time, it was just the three of them, and the place they went to was a large camp full of rebels. Don't be afraid, that's fake.
"The little one understands." The spy man nodded hurriedly.
He is not the lowest person in the rebels, but it is not his turn to make a fortune, and now the court is willing to give him thousands of dollars, or even more, it is completely worth his risk. Joining the rebel army is also to seek glory and wealth, there is a better way, why should he continue to be a rebel.
"Do you know all about Yue Changxu's situation?" As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, find out more about this Yue Changxu's situation, and then know where to start persuading the other party.
The spy in front of him knew a lot, but he didn't tell everything he knew, but only picked some of them and said them. Yue Changxu's real name is not this, but Yue Chi, 'Changxu' is just his word, as for why he is called Yue Changxu, it is unknown.
Knowing this Yue Changxu's situation, Li Yingxu also has a bottom. He was also thinking about how to say it after the meeting to ensure the successful completion of this mission.
。。。。。。
"General, the humble duty is back."
Since that spy also has a certain status in the rebels, he smoothly brought Li Yingxu and the three into the camp, and then directly took Li Yingxu and the three to Yue Changxu's big tent. Since the people below don't know Li Yingxu and the three of them, they are also scouts who went to the imperial court barracks to inquire about intelligence.
Unlike the regular army, the rebels are mixed and varied, so I can't remember who they are.
Seeing the person coming, Yue Changxu, who was telling a few subordinates about things, was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the other party to come back now.
"Xu Teamzheng, why did you only come back now?" Yue Changxu wondered.
"Returning to the general, the imperial court camp is heavily defended, and it is impossible to leave during the day, so it can only be secretly left in the middle of the night, so it has been delayed until now." The spy man said in a deep voice.
Yue Changxu didn't suspect anything, and there was nothing wrong with the other party's rhetoric. Originally, Yue Changxu wanted to ask the other party what information he had reconnoitred, but he saw the other party come to his ear and say a few words, and then his face changed greatly, and he was about to wave his hand, but when he thought of something, he withdrew a group of subordinates, leaving only one henchman and a few personal soldiers.
Yue Changxu looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression, and he was still a person he trusted, but he actually betrayed himself, to be precise, he was not betraying himself.
"Bring those guys in."
Soon, a few pro-soldiers brought Li Yingxu and others outside the door in, Li Yingxu saw the tall man in the middle of the crowd but his appearance was not good-looking, so he guessed the identity of the other party, and took a few steps forward, and after bowing his hand, he said without humility or arrogance, "Li Yingxu, who is a military officer in the Shouwang Mansion, came to ask to see General Yue on the order of His Royal Highness." ”
"What are you looking for me? You know that as long as I say a word, I can put your head and the two people around you to the ground. Yue Changxu said coldly.
"General Yue didn't do that, did he?" Li Yingxu didn't take the threat of the person in front of him to heart, "I'm here to send a rich and noble game to General Yue." ”
"Oh? As long as the Tiance Army is defeated, what wealth is not? Yue Changxu said disapprerovitically.
"Your army can't defeat the Tiance army. Although your troops are indeed better than the 8,000 rebels before, they are only a little better, and it would be too whimsical to defeat the Tiance army just with General Yue's troops. Seeing that Yue Changxu wanted to interrupt him, Li Yingxu stopped the other party and continued, "I know that you plan to send reinforcements from Qiongzhou, but General Gao Renhou will conquer Xinjin in a few days, what does that mean, General Yue should also understand, right?" ”
The contradiction between the Xichuan Army and the Tiance Army, even within the two armies, is only known at the top level. The rebels didn't know this, so as soon as Li Yingxu finished speaking, the eyes of Yue Changxu and his henchmen changed.
"Could it be that Li Senjun is here to tell us about our current situation? Are you really our generals afraid to do anything to you? The henchman next to Yue Changxu said a little unceremoniously.
"If General Yue had the intention of making a move, he wouldn't have listened to so much here, would he? Since General Yue is willing to let him continue, he knows the current situation, and there is only one way to die if he continues to follow the rebels. Li Yingxu said lightly, "In this case, why doesn't General Yue listen to what wealth and wealth he brings to the general?" ”
"Listen to me." Yue Changxu said patiently.
"If General Yue can get lost and return, His Royal Highness can promote General Yue to be the general of Shangzhen." Li Yingxu smiled.
He didn't say what Li Ye said about the position of defense envoy, how could the negotiation be explained at the beginning, and looking at Yue Changxu in front of him, he obviously also saw that there was no future for continuing to follow the rebels, otherwise he wouldn't have listened to him for so long. Since the other party has the intention to leave the rebels, he will definitely have to suppress the price.
"Going to the town? I don't know what Li meant by joining the army? Or is it the meaning of His Royal Highness King Shou? Our general was a town general before, and now that we have these 5,000 troops, the court will send us to a town general? If the court is not sincere, why should we take refuge in the court? Yue Changxu didn't speak, but his henchman stood up, and his tone was very unkind.
Li Yingxu was not in a hurry, "Of course it's not only this, but also a reward of 10,000 yuan." Of course, if General Yue is dissatisfied with this official position, then how much benefit can General Yue bring to the imperial court? There are many benefits, and General Yue gets a high reward, so General Yue can't do nothing and just want to get a higher position, right? ”
Li Yingxu looked at the other party with a playful attitude, wanting to hear how the other party answered, and by the way, analyzed the other party's thoughts from his answer.
