Minmin Timur immediately repaired a letter according to the handwriting of Zhang Ju on the letter, and selected a person from his cavalry who looked the same as the Han and could speak Chinese to Yanmen to deliver the letter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The messenger rushed all the way to Yanmen Pass, reported his identity, and then entered the pass to see Yang Jiye.

Yang Jiye discussed with Wei Xiaokuan, Lin Yu and others how to deal with the Mongolian cavalry in the palace, they had just received a letter from Liu Wei, and they had obtained Liu Wei's approval to agree to send troops to the Mongolian cavalry, so they naturally had to discuss how to fight this battle.

After receiving a notification from the soldiers, Yang Jiye summoned the messenger inside.

This messenger is also witty, and when he entered the middle of the hall, a white-haired veteran knew that this person was Yang Jiye, and there was no doubt that he immediately bowed to Yang Jiye: "I have seen General Yang, and I came to deliver the letter on the order of my general!"

Yang Jiye nodded and said, "I've worked hard all the way, where is the letter?"

The messenger took out the letter and handed it to Yang Jiye, Yang Jiye took the letter and saw that it was Ran Min who urged him to send troops to attack the Mongolian soldiers and horses, Yang Jiye did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I just got the news from Your Majesty and agreed that I will send troops to teach the Mongolian thieves a lesson, you send the letter back, I will send troops to the north in a few days, exterminate the Mongolian thieves, and protect our transaction to go smoothly!"

Yang Jiye said and handed the letter to Wei Xiaokuan, Lin Yu watched, what kind of person is Wei Xiaokuan? The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had insight into people's hearts, although the messenger was very calm, Wei Xiaokuan still saw that he was a little nervous, Wei Xiaokuan read the letter, not Ran Min's handwriting, and became even more suspicious, determined to test it.

Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said, "How are your generals doing lately?" When I went back, I also sent a message to General Ran on my behalf, saying that I miss it very much! ”

At this time, the courier pretending to be a Mongolian cavalry did not suspect him, thinking that Wei Xiaokuan had seen Ran Min, and said with a smile: "Certainly, definitely!"

Wei Xiaokuan's eyes narrowed, Ran Min had never seen him, this messenger obviously didn't know him, but this messenger didn't ask his name, there must be a ghost.

"By the way, your wife was sick last time, and General Ran told me that it was difficult to find herbs in Hetao, so he asked me to find a healthy ginseng for him, and you can bring it back to me later!" Wei Xiaokuan said, but secretly held down Yang Jiye and Lin Yu and didn't let them speak.

Ran Min had never married a wife, and if the messenger said the wrong thing, his identity would definitely be exposed. But the messenger didn't know if Ran Min had a wife at all, and after listening to Wei Xiaokuan's words, he answered: "Thank you sir, my general will be grateful to Mr. if he knows about it."

When the messenger said this, Yang Jiye and Lin Yu both sank, but they had also seen the world, and they did not have any sound on the surface, and listened to Wei Xiaokuan's arrangement silently. Wei Xiaokuan laughed when he heard this: "I am a Hanchen with General Ran Min, what is there to be grateful for helping each other, you are tired of carriage and horses, and go down to rest first, and I will send someone to send ginseng later!"

"Retire next!" The messenger retreated with relief.

As soon as the messenger left, Lin Yu's face sank and said: "Ran Min has never married a wife, although ordinary people don't know, we also learned about it through Jinyiwei, but it is impossible for the beggar army who gets along with Ran Min day and night not to know!" Something is wrong with this messenger! ”

"The military advisor has just arrived in Yanmen, and the messenger doesn't know the military advisor at all, and the military advisor asked him to say hello on behalf of Ran Min before, and he didn't ask the name of the military advisor?" Yang Jiye stroked his beard and said the messenger's suspicions.

Lin Yu said in a deep voice: "Most of this person is not Ran Min's messenger, who sent him?"

Wei Xiaokuan took the letter and said to Yang Jiye: "Does the general have a letter with Ran Min?"

Yang Jiye nodded and said, "Yes, there are three seals in total!" As he spoke, Yang Jiye went to the desk to get the letters, opened them one by one, and introduced: "One of them is written by Ran Min himself, and the other two are ghostwritten by Zhang Ju, a strategist under Ran Min!"

Wei Xiaokuan spread the letter on the table, compared it and said: "Ran Min's words are majestic and magnificent, and there is a sense of arrogance between the lines, which cannot be imitated at all, while Zhang Ju's words are beautiful and easy to imitate, you see, although the handwriting in these places is similar, it is a little different!"

Wei Xiaokuan compared a letter written by Minmin Timur with two letters from Zhang Ju, and pointed out the subtleties to Lin Yu and Yang Jiye.

Wei Xiaokuan is doing the work of a spy, these subtle mistakes, can not hide Wei Xiaokuan's eyes at all, Wei Xiaokuan pointed out the difference between the handwriting in Minmin Timur's letter and Zhang Ju's letter, for a while, there are many doubts.

Yang Jiye and Lin Yu compared the two in detail, and sure enough, there was a slight difference, Lin Yu groaned: "It should be that the letter from Zhang Ju was intercepted halfway, and then the person who intercepted it imitated the handwriting in Zhang Ju's letter, and sent the messenger to send this letter urging us to send troops." But who is this robber? What's the point? What is the meaning of that letter? ”

"Who else can there be, it's probably Mongolia!" Wei Xiaokuan sneered.

"The military advisor has understood the intentions of the Mongols?" Yang Jiye was overjoyed.

Wei Xiaokuan muttered: "According to the normal direction of thinking, Ran Min's team transporting ploughing cattle has been repeatedly raided, and there are always Mongol cavalry on his side of Linrong, so he can't act rashly, and it is understandable to urge us to send troops." If the Mongols intercepted the letter, the real letter was for us to send troops, and the Mongols would not have forged the letter again, but they forged it, that is to say, the letter from Ran Min did not urge us to send troops! It should be a completely different intention! ”

Yang Jiye and Lin Yu listened to Wei Xiaokuan's analysis and nodded thoughtfully.

"Completely different intentions, that is to say, Ran Min may have repented and not let us send troops, and the Mongols imitated letters to urge us to send troops, just digging a trap and waiting for us to jump in!" Wei Xiaokuan said firmly.

"Strategist, you have great powers, do you have a plan to break this conspiracy?" Yang Jiye hoped.

Wei Xiaokuan sneered: "This is all what I played back then, a way to break the game, of course there is!"

What was left to play back then? Listening to Wei Xiaokuan's words, Yang Jiye and Lin Yu laughed, in the first battle of Yanmen Pass, Liu argued that Wei Xiaokuan's mortal plan was to destroy 100,000 iron horsemen of foreign races in a war. Lin Yu and Yang Jiye have all experienced it personally, and now the Mongolians are playing these conspiracies in front of Wei Xiaokuan, which can be described as an axe, playing with Wei Xiaokuan's rest.

"If you want to break the situation, there should be three points, first, our army must not send troops easily, second, we must know Ran Min's current situation, and third, find out where the main force of Mongolian soldiers and horses is!" Wei Xiaokuan stretched out three fingers and said.

"The first point is not a problem, the second point is to send someone to Linrong to inquire about the news, but the third point, the Mongolian cavalry is elusive, how can you find out where the main force is!" Yang Jiye frowned.

"Oh, General, you forgot the messenger? As soon as the messenger leaves, we will send someone to follow quietly, won't we find out where the main Mongol force is? Lin Yu reminded with a smile.

Yang Jiye patted his head and smiled: "I actually forgot this, with some messengers, we can know the movements of the Mongols." Lin Yu, you are now the most skilled person in our army, I don't worry about sending others there, you will quietly follow the messenger later, find out where the main Mongolian force is, don't startle the snake! ”

"The last general commands!" Lin Yu arched his hand.

"That military advisor, I'm sending someone to negotiate with Ran Min to see what the situation is like there." Yang Jiye looked at Wei Xiaokuan and said.

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and said, "You don't need to send someone, I'll go over in person!" I think this matter is extraordinary, and I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to resolve this matter if they go! ”

Yang Jiye shook his head again and again and said: "No, this is a thousand miles to Linrong, the Mongols must closely monitor the exchanges between our army and Ran Min's army, how can the military division take risks?"

Wei Xiaokuan said: "The Mongols are only monitoring the north of the Yellow River, the south has not been monitored, I am from the south to Linrong, although it is far away, but now set off, give me a fast horse, I can arrive at noon tomorrow!"

"Good! I'm sending a team of cavalry to protect the division, so be careful! Yang Jiye pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Yang Jiye and Wei Xiaokuan came to the racecourse and selected nearly 200 horses, which were known for their endurance and speed. He also selected a hundred soldiers with high martial arts in the army, one man and two horses, and set off on the road, first arriving at the border pass of Yanmen County, crossing the river from here, from the inland of the Yellow River, and marching west along the Yellow River.

In this way, there is no fear of the Mongolian cavalry, some people may say that if Ran Min traded with the Han army from the inland of the Yellow River, wouldn't he not be afraid of the Mongolian cavalry raid, in fact, this will not work, a few people and horses are okay, but Ran Min and the Han army are trading ploughing cattle, and most of them are captured on the grassland, untrained ploughing cattle, the Yellow River is turbulent, and the trained war horses cross the river is fine. But it is simply impossible for a wild and untamed ox to cross the river.

Wei Xiaokuan crossed the Yellow River, it was already night, but he did not rest, anyway, one person and two horses, did not pity the horsepower at all, and took advantage of the night to gallop wildly, fortunately, the terrain around the Yellow River was flat, even in the dark night, it did not affect the march, just follow the sound of flowing water.

Early the next morning, in Yanmen Pass, Yang Jiye also found a root of ginseng, wrapped it in a gift box and came to the messenger's place, and greeted: "This is ginseng, wait for me to hand it over to General Ran Min, and I hope that Mrs. will recover as soon as possible."

"Definitely, definitely!" The messenger took the gift box and went out of Yanmen Pass to the north.

Not long after the messenger left, Lin Yu rode a fast horse and quietly followed, preparing to use the messenger to lure the snake out of the hole and figure out the location of the main Mongolian force.

And Wei Xiaokuan also arrived at Linrong City at noon on the second day. One person and two horses, now the first batch has all died of exhaustion, and the horses ridden by the hundred cavalry are all panting and tired.

Wei Xiaokuan urged the horse to come to the city and said loudly: "Where is General Ran Min, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks Wei Xiaokuan to see!"

The beggar army at the head of the city hurriedly informed Ran Min, and when Ran Min learned that the Han people were coming, he couldn't help but be furious and said: "Damn, I have already sent a letter to him, I don't want them to talk endlessly to lead me to be fooled, don't see me, expel me!"

Zhang Ju on the side hurriedly persuaded: "General, the messenger only went the day before yesterday, calculate the time, it is possible to come back today and tomorrow, this time is not right at all, maybe someone else has something important!"

Ran Min stroked his beard and said: "Yes, the time is not right, why are they in such a hurry to come over?" Let him in, and I'll see what tricks they play!" ”

The soldier got Ran Min's approval, let Wei Xiaokuan and others enter Linrong, Wei Xiaowan took a cavalry, and entered the city, this cavalry followed Yang Jiye to Linrong twice, Ran Min was also familiar, and he deliberately brought him to prove his identity.
