Chapter 303: A Big Lie (1)
In the afternoon of the same day, Ling Luotian and Zhang Yan exchanged marriage letters and concluded a marriage contract under the auspices of Mu Hua. On the second day, he followed the envoys of Qin and Mu Hua to return to Qin by the same route. And Zhang Xiong and the guards and palace maids who accompanied him were all detained in the palace, just waiting for all the people to enter the territory of Daqin, and then fly pigeons to send a message to release them.
Externally, it was only claimed that Zhang Xiong, the king of Danyang Kingdom, was riddled with a vicious illness and could not get out of bed, so Mu Hua did the work for him and escorted Zhang Yan into the Qin State to hold a wedding. Anyway, with Zhang Yan here, the countries of the Yucang Federation will not doubt it.
When the Qin delegation returned to Qin, Murong Ke also led his guards to finally arrive at Luoying Gorge after a long journey of half a month.
When Murong Ke led his army to Luoying Gorge, he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him. Luoying Gorge is dozens of miles in circumference, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, and also a ranger patrol post, looking like a great enemy. Those guards and rangers include those of the Tuoba clan, the Dugu clan, and the Qin army.
Around the place of the incident, the tents of the three parties were densely packed. The place where the accident happened was surrounded by clusters.
"Big order! Big order! When he marched to the gathering place, Tuoba Clan's patriarch Tuoba Hong and Dugu Clan's patriarch Dugu De immediately rushed to his side.
"Two patriarchs, what's going on now?" Murong Ke, who had just arrived, didn't know what the situation was, so he could only ask the two of them.
Tuoba Hong pointed to the place where the Qin army was stationed and said, "The people sent by the Qin State arrived here five days ago, and they have already surveyed the scene. Moreover, they had also confirmed that the matter was indeed committed by horse bandits, and after Da Dan Yu confirmed it, the Qin State sent people back to inform their emperor. ”
"Who is the person sent by the Qin State to confirm this? What was their attitude after confirming that it was the bandits? Murong Ke asked two questions in a row.
"Da Dan Yu, the Qin State sent Shang Shu Ling Jiang Shang and the general of the Yulin Army to win Hua. As for the matter of the horse bandits, they said that it depended on the will of their Emperor Majesty. But what they revealed to us was nothing more than two choices, one was to let the Qin State send troops to search for the horse bandits with us, and destroy them after finding them. The other is for us to send our own troops to exterminate, but we must hand over the murderer within a month. Tuoba replied.
"Murong Huai, led the army to camp. You two, take me to the scene, and I'm going to see it for myself. After thinking about it, Murong Ke made a decision.
"No! Shang Shuling and the general of the Qin State have heard that Da Shan Yu is coming, and they are already waiting for you at the place where the accident happened. Dugude added.
As soon as Dugude finished speaking, Murong Ke cast a murderous look. Bastard, this kind of thing still needs you to say. They didn't come to greet Ben Shan Yu just now, so I knew that they were waiting for me at the place where the accident happened! This single is not mentioned because this single Yu does not want to mention, not because this single is forgotten. It's good that you have to give me one more mouth, it's really looking for death.
Seeing Murong Ke's murderous eyes, Dugude immediately closed his mouth obediently and followed behind Murong Ke without saying a word. Since he was helped by Murong Ke to the position of the patriarch of the Dugu clan, he had not seen Murong Ke a few times, and he had no idea what kind of person he was, nor what his temperament was. Where do you know that a casual sentence will make Da Shan Yu have such a big reaction!
"Da Danyu, let's go!" Tuoba Hong spoke, relieving the current awkward atmosphere. He had a lot of contact with Murong Ke, so he naturally knew what Murong Ke was thinking. So, what to say and what not to say, he knows very well in his heart, unlike Dugude, who lacks roots.
As the group walked forward, Murong Ke glanced at Tuoba Hong, and said in his heart: This old thing has always occupied the position of the patriarch of the Tuoba clan until today, and his ability to protect himself can be seen. If, judging from his mouth, he still has ideas about forming a legion. After all, now that such a thing has happened, he himself is quite unconfident that all the clans will hand over the army and form a legion.
"Patriarch Tuoba, what do you think of the previous proposal?"
"The timing is not right!"
"Got it!" In just four words, Murong Ke knew that Tuoba Hong didn't want to hand over the army, and the formation of the legion was in vain. This attitude of his, Murong Ke already knew in his heart. At this time, if he is willing to hand over the army, he will be called a fool! I can only wait, wait for this matter to pass, and then mention it!
It was because of this that Murong Ke suspected that this whole thing was the ghost of the Qin State, and it was because they knew what they were planning that they did to make such a move, diverting Xianbei Hu's attention and letting them put their minds on other places. However, he himself was not sure whether it was Qin Guo who did it. Everyone is saying that it was the horse bandits. He can only dispel the doubts in his heart first and go to the scene to see the situation.
As soon as he arrived at the place of the incident, Murong Ke saw a man wearing a Qin State's civil official robe and a military general walking towards him. Those two people are Jiang Shang, the Shangshu of the Qin State, and the general of the Yulin Army, Yinghua!
Jiang Shang, he didn't know, he only saw it for the first time today. Originally, he thought that Shang Shuling of the Qin State, the head of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, should be a middle-aged man like Ban Chao and them. However, he didn't expect that Shang Shuling of the Qin State was an old man with gray hair and sideburns. Could it be that Mo Feng took a fancy to his age, so he made him the Shang Shuling of the Qin State, the head of this civil official.
The general of the Yulin Army, Ying Hua, although he didn't know him, Murong Ke heard his name a lot. Especially when I was a general before, I heard it a lot. Born in a famous family, strong in martial arts, and deeply trusted by Ling Tianmu. It's just that Ying Hua is on an errand by Ling Tianmu's side, and he can't see it even if he wants to. I didn't expect to meet today.
Mo Feng, what a guts, to put all the Yulin Army, formerly known as the Imperial Forest Army of the Heavenly Star Empire, by his side, and still trust them so much, it is really beyond the reach of ordinary people! Perhaps, that's why those former ministers and generals of the Celestial Star Empire did not have a rebellious attitude towards Great Qin replacing the Celestial Star! Perhaps, that's it, they will be loyal to Mo Feng!
Mo Feng's mind and bearing, it seems that he still has something to learn, Murong Ke thought so in his heart.
"This is a big order! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! The two clasped their fists in greeting.
"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Murong Ke saw that the two of them were so polite, and returned the salute again and again.
"Then the old man is not very polite! Please also ask Da Shan Yu to come with the old man and the general! As the old man walked, he explained the situation to Da Danyu. Jiang Shang was not polite and went straight to the point. Murong Ke was wise, and only by taking the lead and leading him to follow his own train of thought could he fall into the trap that Great Qin had painstakingly compiled.
"Good!" Murong Ke nodded and followed Jiang Shang.
Although Jiang Shang is old, he can walk steadily under his feet, step by step, and he walks very steadily. Murong Ke saw it in his eyes and silently admired it in his heart.
"Da Shan Yu, you look at these horseshoe prints, from all directions, from far to near, it is obvious that a few of the horses use my Daqin's horseshoe. My Great Qin's horseshoe will be recycled after every battle, and it has never been lost, and the one given to you Xianbei Hu is also given as a gift, and the quantity is very small. Moreover, it has not appeared in the mutual market with Xianbeihu.
It can be seen from this that these horseshoes may have been sold to illegal merchants by the people of my Daqin Instrument Bureau, and those illegal merchants were sold to Xianbei Hu, and then they reached the hands of the murderer. Of course, it is also possible that it flows out from within your five clans. That's why the number is so scarce. ”
"Yes, not bad!" Looking at these horseshoe prints on the ground, Murong Ke couldn't help but nodded. Jiang Shang's analysis is reasonable, and he agrees with it very much. Horseshoe prints with horseshoes on the ground are very rare, and only about two dozen horses have been equipped with horseshoes along the way.
"Da Shan Yu looked again, there were still some traces of arrows on the ground. Judging from the traces of these arrows, there is no doubt that these arrows belong to Xianbei. Great Qin's arrows could never be like this. ”
Murong Ke squatted down and looked at those arrows carefully, there were some flaws in the arrows, it could be seen that the materials were not pure, they were definitely not made of fine iron, this was indeed Xianbei Hu's arrows.
"Da Shan Yu, you look at the place where the enemy and our armies are fighting. Judging from the horseshoe prints, our escort was divided into two groups, one in front and one behind, and the mission was guarded in the middle. Here, and here, it was clear that the horseshoe prints of the two sides were intersecting, and blood was flowing on the ground that had turned black. It can be seen that there is a fierce battle between the two sides. It can also be seen from the horseshoe prints of the murderer's departure that they have lost a lot of people. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Murong Ke nodded and said, "Judging from the traces left at the scene, the enemy's combat effectiveness is not weak, although their weapons and equipment are not excellent, but compared with my Xianbei Hu's cavalry, they are also comparable." In terms of numbers, judging from the horseshoe prints left behind, there is also an advantage. However, it is difficult to infer how many of them there are. On the surface, it's 3,000 people, so what if, what if they're two horses or three horses!
In terms of tactics, Ben Shan guessed that it should be to take advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to suddenly attack, shoot with bows and arrows first, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat. ”
"Yes, that's what the real picture is inferred." Jiang Shang touched his beard and said.
"What about the corpse, the corpse is still there?"
"It has been packed in a coffin, and now it is all in my camp in Daqin. The corpse of our mission has been confirmed by General Ying Hua and I, judging from the body size, it is the corpse of our personnel. Yours, Da Shan Yu can confirm by himself, if it is the corpse of your Murong clan, Da Shan Yu can take it back and let the brothers be buried in peace. ”
"There's no rush for this!" Murong Ke asked, "This is just a question, how did Shang Shuling deduce that it was done by the horse bandits?" Why not someone else! ”
The old man asked Da Shan Yu rhetorically, did Da Shan Yu think that such a large-scale attack could have been done by someone else? What could do it like a horse bandit. If it's not a horse bandit, it's your soldiers and horses inside Xianbeihu. Could it be that Da Danyu thinks that you Xianbei Hu people did it? ”
"No, absolutely not!" Murong Ke hurriedly retorted, "How could I suspect that it was our Xianbei Hu people who did it!" That's what I said just now. Actually, in my heart, I also believed that it was the horse bandits who did it. ”
"That's good!" Jiang Shang nodded, without any expression on his face.
