Chapter 258: The Battle of the Outside of Cyprus (26)
When the captive was brought in, everyone in the tent looked uncertain, and the so-called "Xianbei" captive, although he had a sharp beak and a monkey's cheeks and a clever face, was actually a Han man who was like a fake.
Guo Bin naturally knew that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were traitors in China. When the enemy pressed the border, many people either voluntarily or forcedly became the lackeys of the Japanese devils and helped the Japanese to oppress the Chinese. He also knew that in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, there were also scholars who tried and failed to find opportunities in Western Xia or Liao. For this reason, the government of the Song Dynasty even set up an "old list" for scholars who failed to do so. The so-called "old list" is specially for those who "learn from farmers and should neglect to go over the years and have nothing to achieve", and a list of gifts will be given to them, because most of them are elderly, so they are nicknamed "old lists". The so-called: "Deal with micro-officials and then return".
But it was all at the moment when the Central Plains regime was declining, and these people were either despondent or forced into exile, and finally embarked on the road of betraying the country to seek glory. What Guo Bin didn't expect was that in today's era when the Han Dynasty is powerful and the national strength is strong, there are so many traitors who forget their ancestors and are shameless.
Guo Bin was born in the military, and he looked down on the soft egg without bones the most, and he didn't even want to say a word to him at the moment, so he waved his hand and said to the left and right: "Push it out and cut it." ”
The man was shocked, and the person in front of him didn't play his cards according to the routine! If it were according to the rules at this time, shouldn't Guo Bin put on a modest appearance of Corporal Lixian, walk down the hall, and "release his restraints"? Why do you want to kill people without asking a word? So he couldn't care about the famous morale of his lupine scarf, and said with tears in his eyes: "Wronged, wronged!" ”
Guo Bin drank: "You have defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and the sin is unforgivable!" What's wronged? ”
When the man saw that Guo Bin was willing to talk to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Isn't it a great achievement for me to bring him into the Shenglong Valley?" Otherwise, how could Helian have fallen into your ambush so easily? ”
Guo Bin was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this person is really a bit of a door?" He waved his hand to the left and right, motioning for them to untie the man's rope.
When the man saw that he had been bound, he was relieved, and he hurriedly jumped up from the ground, and while waving his right wide sleeve to pounce on the dust on his body, he said: "If you want to say that this is the same as Lian Nan's attack, I strongly disagree with it. Why? I'm Han! But my arms couldn't reach my thighs, and although I tried my best to dissuade them, Helian just didn't listen. ”
Seeing Guo Bin's impatience, the man was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Also, also, do you know that the eldest prince Qianman suggested that he and Lian Danyu fight steadily last night?" ”
When Guo Bin heard this, he was shocked again, but his face was impassive, and he said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
The man looked smug and said, "At that time, He Lian Danyu wanted to test Qianman and asked him how his army should pass through the Thang Long Valley. Na Qianman didn't know who he had listened to, but he suddenly opened his mind yesterday night, saying that he would first order people to quickly occupy the high ground on both sides, and then order the army to be divided into three sections, and order the vanguard army to go out of the valley, and wait for it to choke the valley mouth, leaving the rear army to guard the entrance, so that the main force of the army could slowly pass. ”
Guo Bin and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of shock in each other's eyes. If Helian really made such steady progress according to Qianman's method, then his own arrangements in the Shenglong Valley would be completely useless, and of course he would not be able to achieve the results he has achieved today. At that time, more than 20,000 troops on their side will inevitably fall into a very passive situation, with the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, let alone blocking the enemy, I am afraid that it will become a luxury to flee for your life.
When the man saw Guo Bin's face, he was extremely proud, so he picked it up and kept silent.
Guo Bin is not angry, this person actually knows such a confidential matter in the Xianbei Ministry, it seems that he has been in the Helian Department for a long time, and his status is not low that night, if he can get some other information, it may be of great help to the war tomorrow and the policy towards the Xianbei people in the future. At that moment, he opened his mouth and asked: "Since Qian Man is the son of Helian, what he said is extremely reasonable, why hasn't Helian adopted it?" ”
The man was even more proud, straightened out his torn body, lacked a robe with wide sleeves and stained with soot, straightened his hat on the high head, and sat on the couch beside him "with great grace", but with his not very serious appearance, it only made people laugh.
After sitting down, he casually picked up the tea on the side of the table, drank a sip of tea that had already been cooled, and said: "In Xia Yu and the company's position is extraordinary, and it is extremely important to have a big order in the letter, so naturally he is offering a clever plan in the next, so Fang made Helian Da Dan Yu change his mind and decided to speed up through Shenglong Valley and go straight to the outer three cities!" When he said this, his tone was high-pitched and loud, not like a captive person, but as if he were speaking generously from the temple. It's just that the honor that is not easy to accept is really not respectable.
Yes, this person is Mr. Qin, who had persuaded Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian to pass through Shenglong Valley as soon as possible last night. Before entering the Thang Long Valley, He Lian saw that he was no longer able to ride a horse, but he just wanted to speed up the march and put on the appearance of a corporal of Lixian, so he gave him the frame he was carrying outside the Thang Long Valley and accompanied him in the middle of the army. Which Cheng thought, and then encountered an ambush of Han soldiers in Shenglong Valley, when the soldiers were in chaos, who would have the kung fu to pay attention to Mr. Qin?
The horses that pulled the carts for Helian had already received very rigorous training, and when they marched, they not only wore earplugs in their ears, but also wore eye patches on their eyes, so as to avoid the misfortune of horses to a great extent. Mr. Qin was also quite bold, and when he saw the chaos everywhere, he drew his knife and cut off the reins of the carriage connecting the horses, and then turned over and got under the carriage.
In this way, he hid under the car and avoided wave after wave of attacks, until the infantry led by Guan Yu came to clean up the battlefield, and he crawled out from under the car tremblingly. When he came out, he still covered his face with long and wide Hanfu sleeves on his mouth and nose, and there was no water in his eagerness, so he poured his urine on his sleeves, and because he was lying under the car, he was not dizzy from the thick smoke.
Although Guo Bin didn't want to pay attention to this vain person who was full of running trains, he was very interested in the information he knew about the Xianbei Ministry, suppressed the disdain in his heart, and said: "Since Mr. is a Han Chinese, why should he commit himself to a thief and help the Xianbei people come to attack the three cities outside my Saiwai?" ”
Mr. Qin's face showed sadness and sadness, feeling the color of his life experience, wiping the corners of his eyes with his dirty sleeves, and said: "Your Excellency doesn't know, your surname is Yan, a single name is a soft character, a native of Guangyang, Yan Kingdom, and has no father and no mother since he was a child. A few years ago, Tanshi Huai colluded with Wuhuan and the Huns to enter the Great Wall, plundered the prefecture and county, and came to the vicinity of Jixian County. Although the Xianbei people fought fiercely, where did they dare to attack the cities of the Han people? In our village, men were killed, women were used as slaves, and I was still young, so I escaped a catastrophe, but I was also taken into the plug and used as cattle and horses. ”
Guo Bin listened, and regretted the rudeness of the right talent, in this world, who is not working hard to earn his life, and where can anyone really live a chic and wanton life? got up immediately, refilled a cup of tea for him with his own hands, and said: "Since you have been robbed and sent to be a slave outside the fortress, why do you have the status you have now, and even Xianbei Dashan Yu and Lian look at you differently?" ”
Yan Rou stopped crying and said with a smug face: "Hey, this is thanks to the fact that I learned a few Chinese characters in the family studies at the beginning, and I am so shrewd that I often help the Xianbei people to do business with the Han people. Those Xianbei people had to obtain salt from the Han Chinese, but were often deceived and oppressed by the Han Chinese, so I mediated and gradually won the appreciation of the tribal chiefs. ”
Guo Bin nodded, the Xianbei people themselves do not produce salt, and if they want to obtain salt, in addition to exchanging coarse salt from the Wuhuan people in Liaodong, which is extremely unstable in quantity and extremely worrying in quality, the most important thing is to exchange for salt from the Han people in the border cities of the Han Dynasty. Because the Han Dynasty implemented the policy of monopolizing salt and iron, in comparison, the private salt secretly sold by individuals was not very good compared with the official salt, but the price was extremely low, so it was very popular with the Xianbei people.
However, in order to obtain profits, many merchants often play word games when trading with ethnic minorities, and they do everything to deceive these upright steppe people. In this case, it is certainly not impossible for Yan Rou to use her advantage of knowing Chinese and literacy to stand out in the Xianbei department. It's just that looking at his triumphant and extremely unflattened appearance, Guo Bin feels quite untrue about his nostalgic life experience.
Yan Rou became more and more energetic the more she spoke, and it seemed that she had really suffered a lot of loneliness in the Xianbei Department. I saw him say excitedly: "I saw that this was a way, so I found a private school teacher in the city and begged him to teach me to read and write." In this way, I read a lot of books intermittently, including the Analects and the Art of War. As he spoke, he openly crossed Erlang's legs, obviously very proud of his "erudition".
When Su Shuang saw it, he was very angry in his heart, and even if he wanted to stop Yan Rou, it was just because Guo Bin didn't speak, so he hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
Guo Bin didn't seem to care about these details, but moved the couch, sat on Yan Rou's right side, propped his left elbow on the armrest of the couch, shrugged his left shoulder and said, "Oh? I didn't expect Brother Yan to be a scholar, but since Your Excellency has a way out, why did you go to Helian's account again? ”
Yan Rou gave Guo Bin a "scholar" call in her heart, as if the bones around her were lighter, but then her face turned angry. I saw him slam the teacup in his hand on a few times, and said: "It was Tanshi Huai who killed my entire village, and I will also kill all his descendants!" Although he is dead, his Xianbei Kingdom is still there, and I am just going to be Helian's life! ”
These words, he gritted his teeth and was strong and powerful, which was not commensurate with his appearance as a talented man. Guo Bin couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that this Yan Rou pretended to be a Taoist gentleman on weekdays, pretentious, and also to gain Helian's trust, right?
At that moment, Guo Bin said: "Yesterday night, Brother Yan secretly helped me, is this also the reason? He knew that anyone who knew how to go through complex terrain such as canyons and rivers would be cautious for fear of being ambushed. Since Qian Man had already made a suggestion to be cautious and slow, but He Lian still entered the Thang Long Valley so carelessly, if there was no one to help, I am afraid that it would not go so smoothly. At the beginning, the matter was urgent, but it was indeed too risky, and now I can't help but break out in a cold sweat when I think about it.
