Chapter 43: The Great Camp of Beifu (2)
Early in the morning of the second day, Yun Meng just got up and finished freshening up, he heard the sound of "knock knock" on the door urgently, Yun Meng hurriedly opened the door, and saw that the person who knocked on the door was Xie Ping, Xie Ping's eyebrows were locked, his expression was serious, it seemed that something was wrong, and he also said something to Yun Meng, and looked at no one around, so he went straight into Yun Meng's room, and Yun Meng took the door with him. Hurriedly asked: "Sir, what is the important matter of coming to Yun Meng so early in the morning?" ”
Xie Ping said to Yun Meng solemnly: "Childe, there has been a change in front of the army!" I have just received a report from the former enemy, saying that the Shouchun camp was suddenly attacked a few days ago, more than half of the dead and wounded, and Shouchun City has also been lost, and now the remnants of the army have temporarily retreated to Qiaocheng. ”
Yun Meng was shocked in his heart, and asked again: "Didn't the first few **** armies just win a big victory?" Why is there such a big change in the situation in the blink of an eye, and there are still so many casualties, is it because our army has not been prepared in the slightest? ”
Xie Ping also couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "It's strange to say, the son of the Shouchun camp has also been there, after all, it is an army of 150,000, the metropolitan governor is also well versed in the art of war, and the arrangement of troops should also be a master, the connection of the camps must be orderly and take care of each other, the enemy army crossed the river, even if it was to steal the camp at night, it would not be so heavy to lose?" ”
Yun Meng was concerned about Yin Yuan's safety, so he asked again: "Sir, is there a whereabouts of Brother Yin?" ”
Xie Ping shook his head and said, "There is no news about the Metropolitan Governor yet, but the Metropolitan Governor is a natural person, and there are many troops to protect him, so it will be fine." Childe doesn't have to worry, the former army news Xie will send someone to inquire again. ”
After Xie Ping left, Yun Meng pondered repeatedly, "Is it really the so-called war that is changing rapidly?" But where there are due signs, this defeat has come too suddenly, the enemy is stealing the camp but is defenseless, is it careless, is it underestimating the enemy, or is there a hidden secret? Now that the news is all up to Xie Ping, he can't do anything, it's really anxious. ”
Before noon, Xie Ping came in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the house, Yun Meng asked Xie Ping if he had any new news. Xie Ping nodded and shook his head again, leaving Yun Meng at a loss. Busy asked again: "Sir, what's the matter, why is the behavior so strange?" ”
Xie Ping smiled slightly, beckoned Yun Meng to sit down, and then said: "Childe doesn't know, just because Xie Mou just got some news, he just felt incredible, so he made a move." ”
Yun Meng was also strange and asked, "What is the news, please tell Mr. and listen to it below." ”
So Xie Ping told Yun Meng about the situation, and it turned out that the news Xie Ping said was not the progress of the war, but the detailed battle report of the first battle of Shouchun. There are two puzzling points in Xie Ping's account, one is that the time of the battle took place, which was on the evening of the day when the imperial court sent the Qincha army, but Yun Meng did not seem to have the slightest impression. Second, the enemy troops on the other side not only quietly crossed the Huaishui, but also bypassed the forward battalion and plunged directly into the large camp of the Chinese army without our army noticing, as if they knew that our army's strength was deployed, and they seemed to know everything about where they were weak and where they were strong, and divided our army into several parts, and our side lacked the dispatch of the Chinese army, so that the army could not take care of each other, and the left and right could not take care of each other, and each battalion could only deal with it in a hurry, fighting its own battles, and the result was, of course, that the troops were defeated and defeated, and they could only be forced to retreat, and a large number of heavy grain and grass were discarded. More than half of the 150,000 horses were lost.
After Xie Ping finished speaking, Yun Meng asked with a puzzled face: "It's really strange, if the enemy army stole the camp that night, why didn't I know about it?" And why is the enemy well aware of the deployment of our army, could it be that there is a spy in the big battalion? ”
"Well, indeed, this is also what Xie is puzzled about, the key and the most strange thing is why the enemy army on the other side of the strait does not steal the camp early or late, but chooses the day of the Qincha army, as if every move in our camp is under its surveillance. Therefore, it is certain that there is a detailed work in the camp, and this person is definitely a person who has access to military secrets. Xie Ping said after some analysis.
Yun Meng stood up all of a sudden, and said anxiously: "Is Mr. saying that this fine work is hidden around Brother Yin?" ”
Xie Ping nodded slightly, and Yun Meng continued: "In this way, isn't Brother Yin in danger all the time?" No, I have to tell Brother Yin about this as soon as possible. Can you please help me with this? ”
Xie Ping also stood up and said in a straight voice: "Governor Yin is the pillar of the country, even if the prince doesn't say it, Xie must not stand idly by." Childe waited in the room for a while, and Xie immediately went to arrange it. With that, Xie Ping turned around and went out.
Looking at Xie Ping's back, Yun Meng thought to himself, "Could it be that I blame Xie Ping, it seems that he is indeed a righteous gentleman, and he really cares about the country." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was time to Shen, but he didn't wait for Xie Ping, "Maybe Xie Ping has something to delay." Yun Meng comforted himself, waited for a while, and saw that the sky was dark, but he still didn't see Xie Ping. Yun Meng couldn't sit still any longer, and went out of the guest room to the front hall to find Xie Ping.
When I came to the front hall, I saw that the four carved doors of the front hall were closed, and there were lights reflected from inside, and there seemed to be a figure shaking, and there were two Xie Fu people standing in the corner with their heads bowed far away, not daring to approach the front hall. Yun Meng didn't care much, and walked up the front steps of the hall, just about to knock on the door. I heard the crisp sound of "pop" coming from the house, as if the teacup had been dropped, and then I heard Xie Ping's voice coming out, and he seemed to be very angry, Xie Ping said: "It's so despicable, so vicious, he can think of such a vicious plan, it's really invisible!" You say, how can I talk to Yun Gongzi? ”
Yun Meng heard Xie Ping mention himself outside the door, and as if there was something dangerous in it, he didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door in front of him. The scene in the hall made Yun Meng stunned, and he saw Xie Ping sitting in the middle, his face full of anger, there were fragments of a teacup scattered on the ground, and there was a person standing there, although his back was to Yun Meng, but Yun Meng was very familiar with him, this person was Xu Hong.
At this time, Xie Ping also saw Yun Meng, his face suddenly returned to normal, he stood up and walked to Yun Meng, and said, "I also said that I was going to look for Gongzi, but Gongzi himself came." Come on, please come in. With that, Yun Meng entered the house.
Xu Hong also stepped forward and hugged his fist at this Yun Meng and said, "Childe is good, Xu Hong has seen Childe." ”
But Yun Meng still had a surprised expression as if he hadn't heard it. The reason why Yun Meng was surprised was not because he was surprised to see Xu Hong, in fact, from the interaction with Xie Ping in the past two days, as well as some details described by Fang Gui and Li Ba with Yun Meng on the boat, Yun Meng had deduced that Xu Hong's tenth ** should be Xie Ping's subordinate. It's just that Xu Hong's appearance at this time seems to have something bad behind it, and then it is related to the words that Xie Ping said, which aggravates Yun Meng's ominous premonition.
Seeing this embarrassing scene, Xie Ping hurriedly stepped forward to play a round. said with a smile: "Childe doesn't need to be surprised, Quanta is also his own person, but sometimes he has to pretend to be on the spot." Oh, by the way, last time you robbed your teacher's military salary on Peach Blossom Ridge, but someone testified that Childe was correct, if it wasn't for Guangda at the time, he secretly changed your portrait, where would Childe easily pass the checkpoint checkpoint. ”
Yun Meng saw that Xie Ping intended to reconcile, so he reluctantly smiled and arched his hand to Xu Hong and said, "There is Lao Guangda." ”
Xie Ping said again: "Presumably Mr. Xie may have heard some of Mr. Xie's words just now, but in fact, Mr. Xie was still preparing to accompany Mr. Childe to Qiaocheng." But who knew that Guangda rushed back and told a lot of shocking secrets that Xie had never heard of, most of which were related to Gongzi and Governor Yin, so Xie was so angry at some time that he had just acted. ”
When Yun Meng heard this, his expression became even more solemn, and he asked Xie Ping, "Sir, what secrets are related to Yun Meng, can you tell me?" ”
Xie Ping sighed, shook his head again, looked at Xu Hong and said, "Quanda, it's up to you!" Yun Meng stared at Xu Hong again.
Xu Hong shrugged his shoulders, hugged his fist at Yun Meng again, and motioned for Yun Meng to sit down first, where can Yun Meng sit down, he only shook his head and did not speak. Seeing this, Xu Hong pondered for a moment and opened his mouth and said: "Childe, these things are a long story, don't worry, let Xu say slowly." Childe, in fact, your friendship with Yin Dudu has always been arranged by your teacher, from the moment Yu Weng picked you up to Jiankang, whether it is talking about the Tao of Xuan, the case of Qin Huai, or your several brotherly meetings, and of course, this Shouchun army, it is all calculated by your teacher. At first, the purpose was to borrow the talents of the son to get close to Yin Yuan, and then wait for the opportunity to win over, but I didn't expect that Yin Dudu didn't buy it, not only did he oppose Huan Yuan everywhere, but also prepared to bring down Huan Yuan in one fell swoop. So he started to kill, according to his original words, 'If Yin Yuan can't be used by me, then I can't let him stay in the world and fight against me.'" ’”
Yun Meng was taken aback, and thought to himself, "It turns out that the teacher has been using me all along, and the real target is actually Brother Yin." ”
Suddenly, Yun Meng seemed to think of something again, and asked: "Brother Xu, are you saying that this Shouchun incident is also a teacher, no, was it planned by Huan Yuan?" Xu Hong nodded,
On the side, Xie Ping said: "This is what makes Xie the most angry." It's a pity that the governor of Yin, what a hero, but he was calculated by a traitor. Step by step into the trap designed by others. ”
Yun Meng became even more anxious when he heard Xie Ping say this, and urged again and again: "Brother Xu, what is going on?" Please tell Yun Meng quickly" Xu Hongxian did not speak, but secretly glanced at Xie Ping with his eyes, Xie Ping squinted slightly, but this subtle movement was not noticed at all by Yun Meng, who was already flustered.
Xu Hong nodded, coughed dryly twice and said, "Okay, I'll say." ”
