Chapter 141: Hidden Deeply

Chapter 141 is hidden

After hearing this, Yan Shuo glanced at Wang Huaiyi, nodded, and swept over the faces of others one by one, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the early winter, the wind and sand in Yan country are quite large, in order to lay a fixed border in the rainy season, our army traveled lightly, discarding a lot of baggage, so it caused the situation of lack of food and food today, before I thought that the people were sheltered from the wind and sand, all of them hid in the city for refuge, there will be a lot of food here, our army can borrow grain and continue to go north, but I didn't expect that after entering the city, I sent people to explore for several days, only to find that the people's food is no longer in the city."

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Wan Yanshuo said again:

"And I find that the pattern of the people in the city has not changed much, that is to say, I am afraid that the people who have come into the city from all over the city at this moment to take refuge from the wind and their food must be hidden in a certain place, and they will no longer live in the city, and they must have a temporary dwelling, and they will stay there with enough food, and wait for the wind to stop and return home."

After speaking, he moved his gaze to Wang Huaiyi's face and said solemnly:

"And what Lord Wang needs to do is to lead the troops to find out what these people still have, food."

He accentuated the word "grain".

Wang Huaiyi groaned slightly after hearing this, his brows furrowed, his face showed a struggling look, and he thought about it for a long time before he gritted his teeth, bowed his hand, and replied: "My subordinates will definitely do their best to complete the task, and they will definitely live up to the general's trust." ”

When you're done, bow your head.

All the generals present were silent, and the atmosphere instantly became dull.

Wan Yanshuo's eyes flashed, looked at everyone, and said:

"I actually thought about the food shortage that General Liang said just now, but I thought about it day and night, only this road can work, which is why I am in a hurry to attack the city, the army will die without food and grass, everyone, since the army has gone north, why worry too much?"

Everyone sighed and nodded.

Seeing this, Yan Shuo was just about to give an order for Wang Huaiyi to leave immediately, but before he could speak, he saw Liang Jian, the commander of the auxiliary route army, standing up with a gloomy face.

He swept away his previous respectful attitude towards Wanyan Shuo, did not salute, and said coldly, "The last general does not know what the purpose of Lord Wanyan is doing this. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Liang Jian in surprise, only Wang Huaiyi showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Wan Yan Shuo seemed to have expected someone to ask this question, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "What is the purpose?" Didn't I just say that this was done to prepare food and grass for the army? ”

Liang Jian's face became even more ugly after hearing this, his eyes sank, his voice was as cold as ice, and he replied: "Dare to ask the general whether he wants to borrow food from the people or die!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw everyone raise their heads in unison, looked at Yan Shuo, and waited for him to answer.

Wan Yan Shuo's eyes flashed, but there was not much change in his expression, and he replied lightly:

"My plan is not convenient for you right now."

Before the words fell, I saw Liang Jian suddenly press his hands on the table, interrupted Yan Shuo's words, and looked down at him, his eyes were like blades, breaking out of the air, as if he wanted to kill, he rarely showed a chilling coldness, like a murderous maniac who made people dare not approach, and he was frightened to see it.

Everyone's hearts froze, and even Wang Huaiyi sat up straight and looked at Liang Jian.

Although he is very good at analysis and can lead troops on weekdays, Liang Jian gives them more of the impression that he is submissive after seeing Yan Shuo and does not dare to speak at will.

As a result, when they saw it today, everyone knew that Liang Jian was just hiding his edge on weekdays, and he was obscure and scheming.

It seems that only His Royal Highness Liu Xiu can see the true face of Liang Jian.

At this time, Liang Jian no longer shied away from anything, he seemed to have a domineering aura that no one in his eyes, he poked his head in the direction of Wanyan Shuo, and sneered: "I know what Lord Wanyan means, in fact, there is nothing to hide, so why not let everyone know?" My lord, why don't you just let the last general explain to the generals? ”

The air seemed to become a little depressed in an instant, and some timid generals even wanted to leave here, for fear that the two highest-ranking generals in the army would fight here, and they would be implicated and lose their official positions.

In the General's Mansion in Dingbian City, there was a dead silence, and everyone looked up at Wan Yan Shuo, waiting for him to speak.

But Wan Yan Shuo did not jump like thunder as they thought, but his face was calm, leaned back, nodded, and said, "Then it will bother Lord Liang." ”

Liang Jian's expression was suffocated, and after a little silence, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, then the general will speak for the general!" ”

After speaking, he stood up straight, turned to the side, looked at the crowd, and said:

"Everyone, Lord Wanyan just asked General Wang if he had kept the armor that he had stripped from Yan Bing," Seeing everyone nodding, Liang Jian turned his head to look at Wan Yan Shuo and asked, "I'm afraid Lord Wanyan wants to blame Yan Bing?" ”

Wan Yan Shuo's face changed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch, but he still nodded slightly and replied, "Not bad." ”

Liang Jian glanced at everyone's faces with confused expressions, and continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Wanyan wants our soldiers to put on the enemy's bloody and tattered armor, pretend to be the defeated and fleeing Yan soldiers, and loot their food in the name of defeat in the place where the people of Yan Country gather, so as to survive the difficulties?"

He was silent for a while before continuing in a deep voice: "I just don't know Lord Wanyan, do you want to rob them of all their grain, or do you want to leave some of them and let them survive this cold winter until the next autumn harvest?" ”

The expression on Wan Yan Shuo's face still did not change, as if nothing would make him feel the slightest bit of emotion, even the fingers he put on the table were as usual, without a trace of trembling.

After he pondered for a while, he looked at Liang Jian and replied lightly: "Depending on the situation, if the grain and grass are enough for the army, how can I sit back and watch them starve to death?" ”

Liang Jian's face was even more cold, as if a layer of frost was covering it.

He looked at Yan Shuo and continued in an aggressive tone: "What if it's not enough? ”

After hearing this, Yan Shuo's eyes flashed, and he took a deep breath in front of everyone for the first time, his brows slowly furrowed, but he did not hesitate at all, but said slowly: "I am the chief general of the three armies, obey the orders of the Northern Expedition, and take this as the priority in everything!" ”

He looked directly into Liang Jian's eyes and continued in a tone that did not refute: "Even if I treat the people of the Han Empire, if I am under the same circumstances, I will give the same order, let alone the Yan Barbarians of the Northern Kingdom. ”

When everyone heard this, their bodies were shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

The air in the entire hall seemed to be no longer flowing, and it was quiet and oppressive.

Liang Jian then snorted coldly, although the voice was not loud, but at this time, in this silent atmosphere, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears.

The generals immediately raised their heads and looked at Liang Jian and Wan Yanshuo, in the crowd, Wang Huaiyi's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Wan Yanshuo's face was still calm, he looked at Liang Jian, and said slowly:

"Liang Jian, the two-way army, from the time of sending the troops to the time of returning to China, I am the chief general of the army, if you have any ideas, I will consider it carefully, if you build it properly, I will even change the military order, but if you dare to have any disrespect for the general, don't blame me for serving the military law!"

Liang Jian's eyes froze after hearing this, he gritted his teeth, bowed his head and saluted: "My subordinates know that they are wrong." ”

Seeing this, Wan Yan Shuo looked appreciative, nodded, and said, "You finish your words." ”

Liang Jian took a breath, seemed to try his best to suppress the feelings in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, do you know why your subordinates are willing to lead the hidden army under their command to join His Royal Highness?" ”

He didn't wait for Yan Shuo to answer, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and continued:

"Although the subordinates also have the heart of the sword to cross the world, but each person's ambition is different, compared to stepping on the blood of the world, across the country, the subordinates want to use their own strength to maintain the people of the world, protect the peace of one party, and be a capable minister of the world! At that time, King Wei had no way, on the grounds of conscription, slaughtered the old and weak women and children in a city of Fengcheng, and took away all the young and strong men, secretly incorporated and practiced, and became a secret private army, in a vain attempt to rebel against the imperial court, open a state, and I Liang Jian endured humiliation and surrendered to him, but I wanted to one day, I could raise troops with the hidden army, attack Pingyan, avenge the people of Fengcheng, and eliminate harm for the world. After pacifying the world, you can get what you want and give the people of the world a peaceful life, even your subordinates follow you to march north, but you just want the people of Yanwei and the two countries to never suffer from the scourge of war again, but today after seeing Lord Yan's actions and listening to Lord Yan's words, it made a certain person feel quite disappointed! ”

The crowd fell silent.

After hearing this, Yan Shuo slowly stood up, he stood there like this, and stood on the opposite side of everyone like this.

Liang Jian looked at Wan Yan Shuo, and his heart sank, he had an illusion in an instant, as if he saw Wan Yan Shuo carrying everyone's expectations and life forward with his own body.

He is the commander of the three armies, and in his eyes, there are only soldiers standing behind him.

This thought suddenly popped up in Liang Jian's heart, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Yan Shuo.

After Yan Shuo stood up, he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes swept over everyone, and after a while, he said slowly:

"I shoulder the life and death of an army of 150,000 people, and in my eyes, their lives are bigger than the sky! Even if more people use their lives to keep these 150,000 people alive, I am willing to go! Liang Jian, if you have other ways to raise enough food, I will immediately change the order, and if not, then what you just said is demagoguery, and in the army, how can you be allowed to despise the main general and talk about it! I ask you, what is your plan? ”

Liang Jian pondered for a while, bowed his head and responded, "No." ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded, no longer looked at him, turned his head, faced the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up and said in unison: "Yes! ”R1058
