Chapter 17: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars (3)
The night was dark and the wind was high, Wang Fugui and Wang Jixiang were lying on the roof of the inn, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the messenger's room.
Wang Jixiang whispered: "Since this person put the letter on himself, it means that he will not throw the letter away casually at night." ”
"Do you know where the things are in the room?"
"Clear."
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't ...... Didn't see anything......"
"By that, I'll take a look, if it's a peek at the female tenant?"
"Nonsense, am I that kind of person!"
"No...... Is it? Wang Fugui asked.
"It's obviously the proprietress who watched, you have to say the female tenant."
"You're ...... Not serious! Keep an eye on it, we're ready to go down. ”
Wang Jixiang said: "I guess there are two places to put this letter, one is the clothes he wears when he sleeps, and the other is under the pillow. These soldiers are sensitive to sounds, and we have to go in lightly and quietly exchange the letter. Although King Qi and Lei Jiaojie have worked together for many years and can imitate his handwriting, only by changing it quietly can it really be believed. ”
"Nonsense, do you command me or do I command you? Hurry up! ”
Wang Fugui and the two gently pushed open the window and sneaked in.
"Well, my speculation is wrong, he sleeps without clothes." Wang Jixiang pointed to the naked man on the bed and said, "Look under the pillow." ”
"Can you be quiet? What to do when you wake up! ”
"You smell this wine, can you wake up?"
Wang Fugui gently lifted the pillow, but there was no letter underneath.
"I'll look over there."
"Then I'll look around the bedside."
Suddenly, the big man on the bed shouted, "Madam! He carried Wang Fugui to the bed.
"Don't worry, don't worry. You steady. Wang Jixiang said.
"How steady am I! Can it hold steady! Wang Fugui was caught by the big man.
"Why don't you have his uniform here...... It's over, brother, we seem to have gone to the wrong room! ”
"You! Help me break free of him! ”
"Don't don't, don't, you stabilize first, if this man wakes up, and the people who drink are making a lot of noise, they have to wake up the entire inn, and then it won't work." Wang Jixiang said: "We counted the wrong windows just now, Lei Jiaojie's messenger should live next door, I go around from this window, you can go in and get it, you don't move now." ”
"I'll press your ......" Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and thought: In order to complete the task, endure it!
"Don't make a sound, this is your only chance!"
"Don't go yet!"
……
Wang Jixiang took the letter and laughed at Wang Fugui, because the night was too quiet, he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"Brother, don't let me out of this tonight, do you hear?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Didn't I say, why did it take so long for you to change the letter? If I hadn't slipped away so fast, I would have died today. Wang Fugui said.
"He had his head pressed against the pillow, and I had to pull it out little by little, and then I had to stuff it in little by little."
"It's really hard for your brother and me." Wang Fugui said: "Hurry up and burn this envelope." ”
"By the way, what is written on that letter from King Qi?"
Wang Fugui smiled slightly, if he wrote that Lei Jiaojie was against the water again, Tong Wen's old thief would definitely not believe it, he would definitely be able to guess that Yin Shenglin had secretly changed the letter, but it was Tong Wen's suspicious nature that made it easier to be deceived.
……
Changling,
"Yin Shenglin gave up Lingcheng? That's not right. Tong Wen said to the messenger, "How do you know that Yin Shenglin has given up Lingcheng?" ”
"Prime Minister, the little one is just here to deliver the letter, and the little one doesn't know anything."
Tong Wen took the letter, thought about it, and finally figured it out: it takes nearly two days from Lingcheng to Changling, and this letter may have been exchanged on the way.
The letter reads: The king of Qi abandoned the city and led his army north.
Tong Wen thought to himself: If this is Yin Shenglin's plan, it means that he wants to divert the main force of the Beibao Army, or rather, he set up an ambush north of Lingcheng, and wants me to deliberately transfer the Beibao Army to the north. So, what is his real purpose...... It must be going south, this is not the sound of the east attacking the west, it is the sound of the north attacking the south, I want to bypass the Beibao Army and bypass the Changling from the south.
"King Qi, young and vigorous. Someone came, informed General Lei, led the army south, and set up an ambush east of Zuichen County! ”
……
Wang Fugui reported the situation to Yin Shenglin.
"What I want to do is to make Tong Wen think that the letter has been changed, even if it is a letter written by Lei Jiaojie himself, he still has to believe three points and leave seven points. Not to mention such a big transfer. All I want is for him to guess and make him think he's calculated my move in advance. ”
"In this case, he thinks that if we go around the south to fight Changling, he will transfer the Beibao army and leave, and the siege of Lingcheng can be solved." Zhang Zhenyun said.
"What I want is not the siege of Jieling City." Yin Shenglin said: "As soon as the Beibao Army leaves, we will gather our forces and march to the northeast!" ”
"Northeast direction...... It's not Changling...... Weicheng, Royal Weicheng Camp! ”
"That's right, we can't defeat so many enemies, so we have to destroy them one by one." Yin Shenglin said: "General Zhang, General Li, you go all the way, hit the front, that is, the south gate." General Wu, General Yang and General Ma, you led a small number of troops to attack the west gate of Weicheng, not really fighting, but only disturbing them, so the battle must come out. ”
"Yes!"
"The old minister thinks ......," General Yang wanted to speak and stopped.
"General Yang has something to say, please speak."
"It's not difficult to defeat Weicheng, Li Renjie, the commander of the Weicheng battalion, is not from the army, and he is not an opponent compared to a few of us who have been on the battlefield for many years. But if we take Weicheng directly, will Tong Wen ...... to His Majesty?"
"If it's just for the safety of Your Majesty and others, it's not our style to be at the mercy of traitors all the time." Yin Shenglin said: "He doesn't dare to do anything to them, if he hurts His Majesty and they force us urgently, Tong Wen himself will lose his bargaining chips." We will attack Changling unscrupulously, so now it is not Tongwen who wants to bargain with us, but we have the qualifications to negotiate the price. ”
"Without further ado, I'll arrange it now, once Lei Jiaojie leaves, we will send troops to Weicheng, and take Weicheng while Tong Wen can't react!"
"When the time comes, Wang Fugui and I will block the north gate to the death, and none of us will be able to escape."
Wang Fugui asked, "That'...... East...... What about the East Gate? ”
"Are you stupid! Look at the map! To the east of Weicheng is the lower reaches of the Hoop River, the water flow is turbulent, even if you cross the river, there is a mountain on the opposite bank. If you want to run, even if you can't drown, you have to feed the beasts in the mountains. ”
General Wu asked, "Do you know much about Li Renjie?" ”
"Li Renjie is Tong Wen's nephew, we are trying to capture him alive, I don't know when we will use him. No matter how calm Tong Wen is, he can't let his daughter and nephew go. ”
Wang Fugui asked, "But why don't you let Tong Wen know that his daughter is with us?" ”
"I don't want Ansu to become a bargaining chip so quickly, respect everyone, no matter who he is, is a citizen of our Dou country. If we don't respect people, take human lives as a child's play, and threaten others with other people's relatives, we are no different from people like Tong Wen. ”
"So, from the very beginning when you wrote to Lei Jiaojie, you have these plans in place?" Zhang Zhenyun asked.
"Part of the plan, everyone prepares, Weicheng, it's not so easy."
Everyone left the base camp above the city tower, and only Yin Shenglin was still looking at the map over and over again. Tong Ansu walked in.
"I'll send you some clothes, it's too cold for you to stay here at night."
"Huh?"
"I have heard what you say. Thank you. ”
Yin Shenglin smiled: "You were angry and ignored me two days ago, what? The change of face is quite fast. ”
"That's because you don't trust me!"
"I've been fighting for too long, I've been studying some art of war, I'm good at all kinds of tricks, maybe I'm an untrustworthy person at my own ability, so I'm on guard against everything, and if I hurt you or everyone because of this, then I apologize. Okay, right? ”
"Okay, my Royal Highness King Qi, you are the hope of our Dou Kingdom, I know that you are busy with the affairs of the army all day long, and you can't eat, although it is very late now, but I expected that a few hours ago, your dinner must have been only perfunctory. So, I've cooked a meal for you, and I've heard the queen say that you don't have anything else wrong with you, but you have some stomach problems. Therefore, you can't always skip a meal, you must eat a hot mouth. ”
"Oops! It's so good that this king is waiting for this bite! ”
