"We only have two requests. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Han Wantao replied, "First, you must treat your prisoners of war this time well, without any suspicion, and they themselves don't want to be prisoners." Second, let's strike for three days, and we'll deal with the affairs of Wanzhou. Three days later, still here, we will inform you of the final news. ”

"That's very good." Kunta stood up and saluted again, "Don't worry, these people you put back are our clansmen, and we Li people don't pay so much attention to them, so they won't be discriminated against." ”

Han Wantao also stood up and touched the head of the little prisoner of war on the side: "Child, listen to your uncle's words, follow your people back first." Three days later, your uncle will still be waiting for you here, and you will tell him what you think when the time comes. ”

After sending these Li people away, Han Wantao asked Xu Lang: "What should we do now, go directly to Wanzhou City or go back first?" ”

"Go back." Xu Lang replied very simply, "Go back and talk to Zhou Chongde, there are some things that he has to come forward, after all, they are the rightful Yazhou thousand households." ”

The entire Yulin army returned the original way, and Han Wantao and Xu Lang still rode at the end of the team.

The team had just turned a mountain beam, and suddenly, Andreas rode back from the front: "Report to the chief, a spy has been caught in front." ”

"Spies?" Han Wantao and Xu Lang unconsciously shook their heads at the same time, could it be that the Li people also have spies?

"Where are the people? Bring it first. Han Wantao ordered, "Herald, the team pauses its advance and rests in place." ”

"Bring someone here." Andreas waved his hand, and several soldiers walked from the front of the line with a man with a large tie.

"My lord, my lord, I am not a spy. I have something to say to adults. The person who was brought saw Han Wantao and Xu Lang and shouted desperately.

"Andreas, get the people aside first." Han Wantao saw that the person who was tied up was not a Li person, but a Han dress, and made a puzzled expression at Xu Lang.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Xu Lang smiled, "I don't know how to tell hexagrams, so let's go and ask first." ”

The two men jumped off their horses and walked up to the man. Han Wantao glanced at this person a few times: "Who are you from, why are you here, don't you know that Wanzhou is at war?" Are you looking for me, what do you have to say to me? ”

The man looked left and right, as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Lang frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here." ”

"Your Excellency." Seeing Xu Lang say this, the man didn't hesitate any longer, and said directly, "The villain's name is Ma Xiang, and he is from Wanzhou. The villain is appointed by my master to wait for the two adults. The little man had a letter from my master to the two adults, and the two adults knew what my master meant at a glance. ”

Han Wantao nodded at Andreas, Andreas stepped forward and groped for it, took out the letter from Ma Xiang's waist, and handed it to Han Wantao.

Han Wantao opened the letter, read it carefully, then handed the letter to Xu Lang, and said to Andreas: "You go and call Ge Tao." ”

After a while, Ge Tao came to Han Wantao: "Report to the chief." ”

"Alright." Han Wantao interrupted Ge Tao's words with a wave of his hand, pulled him aside again, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that there is a person named Ma Qiji in Wanzhou City?" ”

"Ma Qiji?" Ge Tao tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems that there is such a person." But sir, he is not an official or a soldier, he is a rich man. ”

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know much about it, I know that he has a lot of land at home, and it seems that he is still a showman, but I heard that this person often helps the needy." Ge Tao replied while thinking, "Sir, the task given to us by the principal is to keep an eye on the affairs of the government and the army, so I don't know this person very well, so I know a rough idea." ”

"Good, I see." As soon as Han Wantao finished speaking, Xu Lang walked over from the side, "This is not the place to talk, let's bring people back first." ”

The Yulin army continued to advance and marched towards the main camp. Han Wantao and Xu Lang slowly fell behind.

"Xu Lang, what do you think?" Seeing that there was no one around, Han Wantao asked.

"It's hard to say." Xu Lang replied, "Judging from his letters, he deliberately wanted to join us. And that letter is also written about worrying about the country and the people, but why did you choose this time to come to us? ”

"Alright, don't care." Seeing that Han Wantao didn't speak, Xu Lang continued, "If this thing is really better, even if it's not true, don't care about him, let's do what we should do." Everything depends on our own strength, and it doesn't matter if there is such a thing or not. ”

In Zhou Chongde's military camp tent, only Zhou Chongde, Han Wantao, and Xu Lang were talking in secret.

"Two brothers, hard work." Zhou Chongde said politely, "Do you mean that we will enter Wanzhou City tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, Lord Zhou." Xu Lang replied, "We have already agreed with the Li people to strike the army for three days. Let's go tomorrow and directly put forward conditions to Gu Bin, if he agrees, everything is easy to say. If you don't agree, hehe. ”

Zhou Chongde saw Xu Lang sneering twice, and hurriedly asked, "If you don't agree, what good idea does Brother Xu have?" ”

"That's easy." Xu Lang smiled, "We're helping him now, not harming him." If he doesn't agree, let him deal with the affairs of the Li people by himself, and we will be happy. ”

"So?" Zhou Chongde was a little hesitant about Xu Lang's words, "Brother Xu, even if we don't help him, I'm afraid this Li people won't be able to capture this Wanzhou City." If reinforcements from other states and counties arrive, won't we get nothing? ”

"Lord Zhou, don't worry." Han Wantao said, "Let's keep the back." Let's enter the city tomorrow, we don't need too many people, just take your own soldiers and our cavalry platoon, I'm afraid that there will be too many people Gu Bin may not even open the city gate. However, Lord Zhou, how many people we go in may not necessarily come out. ”

"What does Brother Han mean by this?" Zhou Chongde understood a little bit of Han Wantao's meaning in his heart, but he still asked knowingly.

"Lord Zhou." Xu Lang took over, "If we can't talk to Gu Bin, then the Li people will naturally continue to besiege the city." At that time, once someone does something from inside this city gate, Lord Zhou said that this Gu Bin can still hold this Wanzhou City? ”

"Also, Lord Zhou doesn't have to worry too much." Han Wantao took out Ma Qiji's letter from his clothes, "This Gu Bin has long been angry and resentful in Wanzhou, here is a letter from Wanzhou squire Ma Qiji to us, which is full of accusations against Gu Bin and Cao Hui." With this, even if we have caught Gu Bin's handle, we are not afraid that he will be disobedient. ”

"Is this really a letter from the Wanzhou squire accusing Gu Bin?" Zhou Chongde was a little surprised.

"Absolutely." Han Wantao put the letter back into his clothes, "Lord Zhou, if I see Gu Bin tomorrow, Lord Zhou just needs to get straight to the point, according to what we have discussed, just throw our conditions to him, and the rest of the things will be solved by me in Yulin Bay, and I will not let the adults suffer no matter what." ”

After coming out of Zhou Chongde's barracks, Han Wantao and Xu Lang returned directly to their tents.

"Andreas." Han Wantao called Andreas over, "You go and bring the one named Ma Xiang who was caught, and then find Ge Tao." ”

Not long after, Ge Tao and Ma Xiang were both taken to Han Wantao's tent.

"Ma Xiang." Han Wantao glanced at Ma Xiang a few more times, "We have already read your master's letter, and now I have a few questions I want to ask you, and you have to answer them honestly." ”

"Returning to your lordship." Ma Xiang knelt down and kowtowed, "Just ask, the villain is honest, and there is no lie." ”

"Good, but you don't have to kowtow." Xu Lang stepped forward and pulled Ma Xiang up, "Since your master said that he wanted to contact us for a long time, why did he have to wait until now, and it was still when he was fighting, why didn't he contact us in the first place?" ”

"My lord, my master really wanted to visit Yulin Bay for a long time." Ma Xiang arched his hand and said, "Since my master knew that you came to Yulin Bay, Yulin Bay and Yazhou City were prosperous, and my master has always wanted to go and see it. But you adults also know that my master is also a figure with a head and a face in this Wanzhou City, and he also has fame, and the relationship between Yazhou and Wanzhou is not very harmonious, so my master has never found a chance to go, and it has been delayed until now. ”

"And now?" Han Wantao asked again, "Now that there is a war going on in Wanzhou, why did your master choose to let you come to us at this time?" ”

"Back to my lord." Ma Xiang replied, "To put it mildly, this Li riot is really too anxious for the Li people forced by the governor of Wanzhou, so that it provoked a popular uprising. My master actually has quite an opinion on some of Wanzhou's usual practices, but he can't say it. Yesterday, my master learned that you had returned the corpses of the Li people, and that you were going to release the people you had captured today. That's why I sent a villain to find the adults.

"Ma Xiang." Ge Tao suddenly asked on the side, "Now that the Li people are besieging the city, how did you get out of the city?" ”

Han Wantao and Xu Lang unconsciously looked at Ge Tao at the same time, but Ge Tao didn't care, but stared at Ma Xiang deadly.

"Back to this lord." Ma Xiang replied, "The Li people only surrounded the city on two sides, and they did not besiege it. I bought off the guards at the city gate last night, and I was able to get out of the city by falsely claiming that someone in the country was seriously ill. I've been waiting for you on the road for most of the day. ”

Han Wantao and Xu Lang asked Ma Xiang a few more questions, and then asked Andreas to take Ma Xiang out, and told Ma Xiang to let him dress up as a sergeant tomorrow and follow the Yazhou troops into Wanzhou City. After blending in, inform the owner Ma Qiji that Yulinwan will find a suitable opportunity to visit.

Ma Xiang came out of the tent, and Ge Tao saluted Han Wantao and Xu Lang deeply: "Sir, my lord." Just now, he asked questions without the permission of the commander, and asked the commander to punish him. ”

"Nothing." Han Wantao smiled, "The question you asked is very good, I will tell your principal when I go back, you have good ability." But, Ge Tao, you know what you're going to do tomorrow. ”

"Sir, your subordinates understand their duties." Ge Tao "snapped" a stand.

"Alright, you should go to rest early." Han Wantao retreated from Ge Tao and said to Xu Lang again, "There's nothing wrong with tomorrow's plan, right?" There are other aspects that we didn't expect. ”

Xu Lang carefully sorted out the plan for the next day in his heart: "There should be no problem, we have told Zhou Chongde about the possible situation, it depends on his on-site performance at that time." But you'll have to find someone to keep up with me tomorrow. ”

"Not an inch?" Han Wantao was stunned by Xu Lang's words, "What do you mean, what do you want to do?" ”

"Nothing." Xu Lang smiled, "Carry the rifle for us." ”

"Hahahaha." Han Wantao pointed at Xu Lang and laughed, "You said you, you let me tell you something." ”

Early the next morning, more than 100 people composed of Zhou Chongde's personal soldiers and Yulin Bay infantry, plus Andreas's cavalry platoon, marched towards Wanzhou City.

Zhou Chongde did not wear the military uniform of the Yulin Army this time, but neatly put on the costume of the Ming Dynasty Wupin military attaché, which was covered with a pair of cavalry busts from Han Wantao.

Xu Lang gave Zhou Chongde a suggestion yesterday that if you want to suppress Gu Bin's momentum, you must first start from your official position. The Ming Dynasty has always been noble and martial, although thousands of households are the official positions of the five grades, and Zhizhou is only from the five grades, but it has always been thousands of households to kneel and kowtow to Zhizhou. This time, Xu Lang repeatedly told Zhou Chongde not to kneel for Gu Bin, but this time he knelt down, and his momentum was half a cut shorter.

The group walked for half an hour, and saw the Wanzhou city wall from a distance. The Li people in front of Wanzhou are gone, but the gate of Wanzhou City is still closed, and there are faint heads shaking on the city wall.
