Chapter 619: Wen Tao

"You can't kill me, I'm Wen Dashuai's nephew, you can't kill me!"

In the Bozhou Thorn Mansion, in the hall that Wen Tao originally used to handle official business, a howl like killing a pig sounded at this time.

When the Wu army occupied Bozhou without blood, many of the defenders in the city were taken prisoner without understanding the situation, and their main general Wen Juan was even more drunk, and only learned the news when the Wu army was about to rush into the Assassin's Mansion.

"Be honest, this is our general, who cares if you are Wen Dashuai's nephew, if you are not honest, I will cut you down directly!" Seeing that Wen Huang was dying, the soldiers of the Wu Army who captured him wanted to use Wen Tao's name to scare people, so they couldn't help but kick him hard in the calf, making him kneel in front of Chai Kehong.

"Is this the guard left by Wen Tao?" Chai Kehong looked at Wen Wan in front of him, who was flushed and full of wine, with a disgusted face, and pointed with a horsewhip: "Come on, wake him up with cold water, let him understand the situation and bring it over." ”

"Yes." Several Wu soldiers immediately clamped it up and pulled it outside the hall to flush it with cold water, which made it sober up a little.

"General, general, lord, please spare the little one, the little one is willing to give all his possessions to the general, and the little ones know where my uncle's possessions are hidden. As long as the general is willing to let go of the small one, the small one is willing to give all these things to the general. After Wen Wan came to her senses, she hurriedly begged for mercy.

He was originally just an idle vagrant, if it weren't for his uncle Wen Tao's prosperity by robbing tombs, how could he have been promoted all the way to his current position as a commander.

Over the years, he has relied on his uncle's relationship and led a few cronies to act as a long-term authority, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil; This kind of person looks very strong, but in fact he is the most afraid of death.

Now that he is a prisoner of the Wu army, his first reaction is, of course, how to save his life.

As soon as they heard that they were willing to donate all the family property obtained by Wen Tao's tomb robbery, many Wu army generals suddenly widened their eyes and breathed a little unnaturally.

It is unimaginable how much gold and silver treasure Wen Tao has obtained by robbing tombs over the years; If it weren't for the fact that he dedicated a large amount of treasure to Zhu Youzhen as military expenses, and sent a lot of money to Zhang Hanjie, Zhao Yan and other powerful people of Liang State, this made him prosperous in Liang State.

Otherwise, it would be cheaper for him not to put him to death for the crimes he committed.

"You want to give all those things to the general?" Chai Kehong asked slowly.

"Yes, yes, as long as the general is willing to let go of the small one, the small one is willing to give those things to the general." Wen Juan thought that Chai Kehong had already moved, and hurriedly answered loudly.

"Smack!"

I didn't want him to be whipped in the face as soon as his words fell.

"Bastard, your uncle and nephew stole and dug up the Tang Dynasty royal mausoleum, committed a horrific heinous crime, and now they still want to give the stolen goods to the general, are you going to drag the general into the water?" Chai Kehong scolded and whipped vigorously with a whip.

"Spare your life, General!" Where did Wen Juan suffer like this, and he was suddenly whipped and screamed.

The other generals on the side were reprimanded by him like this, and they all came to their senses, and the greed in their eyes quickly receded, and at the same time, the eyes that looked at Chai Kehong were also full of gratitude.

If Chai Kehong was also bewitched just now, and their group of people had all received Wen Xuan's stolen goods, they were afraid that none of them would be able to escape if Yang Wu was investigated in the future.

Is Wen Tao's treasure so easy to hold? Those were all stolen goods obtained by stealing and excavating the tombs of the Tang Emperors; And although Wu Guo is not very closely connected with the Tang Dynasty now, at least it is still under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, Wen Tao, the great tomb thief who stole the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be held accountable to the end.

So Wen Tao's stolen goods are really not so easy to take, whoever dares to move will definitely not end well in the future.

"To hell with these stolen goods compared to the future of the general." One by one, the generals thought in their hearts.

At this time, Chai Kehong saw that all the generals had calmed down, and immediately stopped beating, but asked: "Ben will ask you, where are all the stolen goods that your uncle has got?" ”

He asked the same question again, but it was different.

If you ask just now, the generals still have greed in their hearts, and if they see Wen Tao's treasure, who knows if anyone will make a mistake.

But now that all the generals have figured out the importance of the matter, they know what can and can't be touched, so it doesn't matter if they ask this question now.

Those finances, although I don't know how much is left after Wen Tao's squandering over the years, should still be a lot of wealth, so we must try to find and seal them as soon as possible, and wait for follow-up processing.

"General, those treasures were hidden by the little one and the little uncle, and only the two of us know the location. If you are willing to promise to spare the little one, the little one is willing to sacrifice all those treasures to the general; Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the small ones to tell the general the location of the treasures; You don't want to know the location. Wen Wan said.

Chai Kehong was furious, raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it down again.

However, although Wen Juan is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is an extremely shrewd person, and he knows that the only way to save his life now is those treasures.

If Wu Guoren successfully obtained that treasure, with the crimes committed by him and his uncle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.

So before he got Chai Kehong's safety guarantee, no matter how Chai Kehong beat and tortured, he gritted his teeth and didn't explain.

Seeing that he couldn't be allowed to speak, Wang Shibin had no choice but to stand up and ask: "General, let's talk about this treasure later, let's discuss the next plan now." ”

Chai Kehong nodded and said, "Well, when will General Li's army arrive?" As he spoke, he waved his hand to press Wen Wan down.

"According to the information I just received, General Lee's army should be able to arrive tonight." Wang Shibin said.

"So, have you figured out the movements of Wen Tao's army? Where are they now? ”

"According to the prisoner's confession, Wen Tao's army set off at noon yesterday, and he sent someone back this morning, saying that the army was stationed in the Taiqing Palace forty miles away, and asked Bozhou to send some grain and grass over." Wang Shibin said.

"Isn't their army just marching? Why do you have to send people to urge the delivery of grain and grass now? Chai Kehong wondered.

Wang Shibin said with a wry smile: "It is said that Wen Tao's army forgot when he went out on the expedition, and the grain and grass he brought were insufficient, and he didn't find out until he was about to arrive at the Taiqing Palace, so he sent someone to urge the grain and grass." ”

Chai Kehong was a little speechless, such an important thing could be forgotten, did such an army still expect them to fight?

But this is another good thing for Wu Guo.

Although Wen Tao's army was not large, only more than 7,000 people, this was already the main garrison near Bozhou; At this time, not only did they know nothing about the arrival of the Wu army, but they also had the problem of insufficient food and grass, and if they took this opportunity to send troops, they would definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Chai Kehong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly came up with a plan, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know if the team transporting grain and grass has already set off?" ”

"It hasn't set off yet, and it is said that Wen Juan was drinking at that time, so the matter was delayed." Wang Shibin said.

Chai Kehong was immediately overjoyed and said, "This is really the providence of heaven for our army to win." ”

He immediately ordered to draw 300 people from the army in the city, and then select 300 people from the Wu army, a total of 600 people, pretending to be a team to transport grain and grass, and immediately transported grain and grass to the Taiqing Palace according to the request sent by Wen Tao; And he himself followed with a thousand elite horsemen.

Yes, Chai Kehong's plan was to raid Wen Tao's army with a grain transport team.

Although the Wu army had 3,000 cavalry, and it was prepared to attack unprepared, the probability of victory was very high, but if it could further expand the advantage of the Wu army, it would naturally be the best.

At this time, outside the Taiqing Palace, inside the camp of the Liang army, Wen Tao knew nothing about the upcoming Wu army.

He was now drinking with his generals in the camp, just like his nephew.

The weather in August was the hottest, and after the troops were dispatched from Bozhou, they only marched more than 20 miles, and these pampered generals could not stand it, and they were all complaining bitterly.

Seeing this situation, Wen Tao, who was also a little tired, ordered to camp and rest.

And today's situation is similar to yesterday, the army still only marched for more than 20 miles before stopping, and began to camp and rest when it arrived at the Taiqing Palace, and the next ten miles is Zhenyuan County.

It was at this time that they found that the military rations they carried were somewhat insufficient, so they sent people to ride fast horses back to Bozhou to urge the transportation of grain and grass.

"Dashuai, how much credit can we make this time to beat King Hui? How many rewards did the imperial court have after the war? Don't let us work for the court in vain, right? A general smashed the wine in his mouth and asked drunkenly.

"It's not enough to work for nothing, after all, the court still pays attention to rewards and punishments, otherwise who will work hard for him in the future?" The other replied shaking his head.

"If you want me to say, Dashuai, we have made enough money over the years, if it is not peaceful today, the Jin army will fight for a while, and the Wu army will come over for a while, and there will be no time for peace. I always feel that let's stop and find a remote place to live in peace. ”

"Live in peace? We have so much treasure with us, if we don't have the protection of the army, who will let us live in peace? I'm afraid it's time for our heads to hit the ground, right? ”

These generals in the camp tent are basically Wen Tao's old brothers when he was a bandit, and later they did things together in Guanzhong to make a fortune and touch gold, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship; Now that he had drunk some wine, he suddenly began to shout in the camp tent.

But Wen Tao was accustomed to all this, he sat on the throne, drinking and watching the old brothers gossip.

At this time, the guards outside the door suddenly came to report: "Marshal Qiqi, the grain transport team from Bozhou has arrived." ”
