At night, in the same state court, the camp tents outside the city rose one after another, the Yanzhou army that responded to the order of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, went south to reinforce the camp here, and Dugu Kai, the governor of Yanzhou in the big tent, was listening to the sentry to report the military situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guangtong Cang was burned the day before yesterday, and Li Hun, the assassin of Tongzhou, searched for Zhou Kou who set fire to it that day, but was accidentally ambushed and killed in Shayuan, and the Tongzhou army was finished.

Where is this Zhou army? Here, it is in the reeds of Weiqu Shayuan, south of Chaoyi.

The sentinel retired, Dugu Kai picked up the lamp and looked at the map alone, in fact, it was useless to look at it, he had long remembered the terrain around Shayuan, and this place was too familiar to be familiar.

Fifty years ago, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty fought in Shayuan, and as a result, the Eastern Wei army was defeated and nearly 80,000 people were captured, one of whom was named Li Tun.

The Western Wei Dynasty lacked soldiers, so the captives were incorporated into the army, Li Tun was assigned to the Zhuguo Dugu Xin, because of his repeated military exploits were cited as cronies and given the surname "Dugu", and later Dugu Tun had a son, called Dugu Kai.

Dugu Kai has practiced martial arts since he was a child, has superb riding and archery skills, and is good at using horse lances, first as the Jin King Yuwen to protect his relatives, holding a knife for him, and then going out with the army many times, almost every time he swore in the same state.

There are many reeds in the Shayuan area and it is muddy and difficult to walk, Dugu Kai feels that if he goes all out to search for this Zhou army, it is likely to delay the trip to Chang'an, and it is clear which is more important.

It is always a hidden danger that this Zhou army is not solved, but the most important thing is to recover Chang'an first, Guangtong Warehouse is over, I am afraid that the war cannot be delayed for too long, the problem of grain, after recovering Chang'an, the grain in Taicang can be supported for a period of time.

At that time, it will be much easier to deal with this Zhou Jun who burned Guangtong's warehouse, and it will be useless to beat the dog behind closed doors.

It's just that King Jin can really recover Chang'an as soon as possible?

He felt very hanging, after so many years in the army, Dugu Kai knew that he couldn't fight without food, once the soldiers found out that there was a lack of food, the morale would just fall down, and the army's morale would be in chaos, and it would be useless for you to say that you would cut your throat.

Since the Zhou army succeeded in attacking Guangtongcang, no matter how difficult it is, it will have to defend Chang'an, as long as it takes another ten days and a half months, the Sui army outside the city will inevitably retreat without a fight, so the hope of taking Chang'an in a short time is very slim.

"If it goes on like this, it's all over..."

The more Dugu Kai thought about it, the more anxious he became, he really couldn't figure out why the situation had deteriorated to this point in just a few months.

"Brother."

One person walked into the tent, it was his brother Dugu Sheng, the brothers were worried about the current situation, and during the discussion, Dugu Lingyun, the son of Dugu Kai, suddenly came to report, saying that there was an old man who asked to see.

"The old man asks to see? It's the middle of the night, what's going on? ”

Dugu Lingyun, who was in charge of patrolling the camp at night, said that Ansabao in Tongzhou sent people over, and there was an urgent military report: they found the whereabouts of the Zhou army who burned Guangtongcang.

"Brother, An's has always been immersed in business, and most of them are not interested in other things, and they come to visit late at night, so they have to guard against it."

"Are you afraid of the other party's assassination? Joke, I led the troops to camp here, but I was afraid of a few assassins! ”

Dugu Kai asked his son to bring people in, of course, he didn't hold it up, only allowed the other two people to enter the account, as for whether he needed a knife and axe hand to ambush him, he felt that it was not necessary.

"I'll see what they'll say later!"

After a while, Dugu Lingyun took the two of them inside, and the first one was a member of the Sogdian clan, because he often passed through Yanzhou with caravans, and he did a lot of work in the governor's mansion, so he naturally left an impression in Dugu Kai's heart.

"Ansabao sent you?"

"Dugu manager, it was An who came here privately, and he also brought a person, he knows the whereabouts of Zhou Jun, presumably the manager is very interested."

"Ha, it's really sleepy and meets the pillow, so coincidentally?"

"Boss, that's such a coincidence."

Dugu Kai looked at the old man, and then looked at the person behind him, this person was young and in his early twenties, thinking that he was often exposed to the sun, and his face looked a little dark, and he seemed to be a little familiar.

The figure looks very sturdy, the eyes are bright, and the spirit is very good, either a merchant who travels all the year round, or a soldier who has killed people or a private soldier.

It's a good fit to be an Assassin.

"Zhou Jun set fire to Guangtong Cang, you know their whereabouts."

"Yes."

"Say, where are they?"

Dugu Kai's tone was very peaceful, but he was already secretly vigilant in his heart, and Dugu Sheng on the side held the saber grip without a trace, and Dugu Lingyun, who led people in, was no exception.

Three-on-two, just like a cat playing with a mouse to pass the time, assassin? So what?

Seeing that the young man didn't mean to speak, Dugu Kai became interested, he felt that the other party was about to "retreat left and right", or let him "come over with his ears", if this was the case, it would be extremely boring.

"Uh... This public has something unclear, so I asked the manager of Dugu. ”

"Say... Well? ”

Dugu Kai was stunned in the middle of his words, because he found that the other party actually called himself "Bengong"... Or is it "Bengong"?

"Well, in this case, then Ben Gong wants to ask the Dugu manager, how many heads of the Yuwen clan can withstand your Dugu clan?"

As soon as these words came out, the three Dugu present were stunned, Dugu Sheng reacted first, still staring at each other, beware of sudden trouble, and Dugu Kai sneered after thinking for a moment:

"What, that's the one who asked you to be a lobbyist?"

"Lobbyist? Of course, it's just that Bengong himself came. ”

"Ben Gong? What a big breath, who are you? ”

"Dugu Governor is in the prime of life, how can his memory be so poor, in September of the first year of the elephant, the first emperor appointed Yun Guogong as the marching marshal to crusade against the Southern Dynasty, and when he swore in Tongzhou, Dugu Governor came out of the steps in the same state palace... Didn't you fall down? ”

Dugu Kai frowned when he heard this, that year was still the world of Zhou, he went out with Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Yunguo, and Emperor Tianyuan summoned the generals in the Tongzhou Palace, and he did fall when he came out of the main hall.

At that time, there were palace guards next to him, and one of them was a little similar to the person in front of him, but he was much more immature at that time, as if he was from the county of the west.

It seems to be called Yuwen or something... Wait, Yuwen!

"Going around, I think it's too long-winded to come to Dugu, this Gongyu Wenwen, come and change heads with you."

"Yuwen Wen..."

Dugu Kai couldn't believe his ears, Dugu Sheng on the side drew his knife and pointed at the other party, and the soldiers outside the tent heard the movement and rushed in, surrounding the two strangers in the tent.

"Okay, okay, my father is not three-headed and six-armed, scared like this." Yuwen Wen activated the poisonous tongue mode and began to play with heartbeat.

"Stand down!"

Dugu Kai drank the soldiers back, looked at the young man in front of him who called himself "Yuwen Wen", and remembered that the other party was indeed Yu Wenwen, the Gongyu of Xiyang County back then.

Looking at this bold young man, he grinned: "Qi Guogong has a good son." ”

"It's a nephew, if Governor Dugu says so in front of the public in the future, how will Duke Qi Guogong deal with himself?"

"In the future?"

"Don't want to be in the future? That's right, cut off the head of my father, and take it to Xinfeng to receive a reward with King Jin. ”

Yuwenwen walked to the side and sat down, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Dugu Kai asked his son to take the An clan member out, and asked with interest: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid, I'm so scared to death, it is said that the Yang family killed more than 50 members of the Yuwen family, and my father was so scared that he had nightmares every day when he slew, what should I do? I can only use a knife to cut people in Chang'an, and I will kill a few of them..."

Yu Wenwen stared at Dugu Kai's eyes, his palms were sweaty, he would make a big news today whether he succeeded or not, in order to finish the long road of life, he had to raise his state to the highest.

"My father originally planned to attack Huazhou, but later I heard that the Dugu Governor led the troops south and happened to pass through the border of Tongzhou, so he ventured over to meet him."

"As for the Sui Kingdom, it will be over sooner or later, and my father wants to ask the head manager of Dugu if he wants to change his head."

Dugu Sheng scolded "inexplicable", Yuwenwen thought he was a background character and was too lazy to pay attention, seeing that the main person looked at himself with a smile, he continued to show three inches:

"It's very simple, today either the Dugu manager will cut down his father, and in the future, he will be home... My father's uncle killed the whole family, or anyway, my father was willing to vouch. ”

"Are you intimidating the official?"

"It's not the point whether you are scared or not, if the Dugu manager wants to accompany the Sui State to the funeral, then cut down the father, if you want to keep the house safe, then anyway, as for putting the father under house arrest first, let's talk about it later..."

"Hmph, as long as your father-in-law doesn't die, you will also be killed in the future."

"Of course, if the Dugu manager decides to flee to the Southern Dynasty to fish, it's okay, but Chen Guoqi's number is about the same, where else can the Dugu manager flee to then?"

Yuwenwen's conditions are very simple, if Dugu Kai is anyway, he is willing to guarantee that the Dugu family will not be liquidated, as the nephew (second son) of the Great Zhou clan and the Duke of Qiguo, he has this confidence.

Now the Sui State basically can't keep the country, if Dugu Kai kills Yu Wenwen, Yu Wenliang, the Duke of Qi State, will definitely not spare and want to avenge his nephew (second son), and when the time comes, the Zhou State will recover its homeland, and Dugu Kai's family will be in a catastrophe.

Dugu Kai understands this truth, and it is very risky for the other party to enter the camp alone to persuade him to surrender, but this kind of thing is only convincing if Yu Wenwen says it himself.

Yuwen Liang is the pillar of the Zhou clan, Yuwen Wen is the second son, although he has passed away, the relationship cannot be broken, with Yuwen Wen as a guarantee, Yu Wenliang will naturally have no opinions, besides...

Isn't it just that the Yuwen clan is so active in recruiting and rebelling in order to fight against the Yu Chi clan in the future? The Yuwen clan is now weak, and they have to rely on their tainted old ministers to support the scene, so there is no problem of not being trustworthy.

Dugu Kai can figure it out, and Dugu Sheng can also figure it out, but the other party seems to be a little underestimating them.

"Xiyang County Duke, do you think you can make this official surrender with three inches of non-rotten?"

"Dugu's manager, Ling Zun's original surname is Li, and he was given the surname "Dugu" back then, and he received the great favor of Dugu's family, so he didn't change back to the surname Li later, not only the two are still surnamed Dugu, but even their sons continue to be surnamed Dugu..."

When Yuwen Wen said this, he was still full of confidence: "Li Mu was the ancestor of Taizu back then, and the Yu family was also the right-hand man of the Yuwen family, what was the result?" ”

"For the sake of the family, all loyalty and kindness are rolled aside! The two are not the little ladies of the music room, they are going to be arched by others and want to welcome or refuse something, don't you feel bored? ”

"Be happy, either kill my father and then kill the whole family, or be a loyal minister to protect the family anyway, okay, give me a word!" (To be continued.) )
