Chapter 182: The Secret of Eleven Years Ago
Monbugo and his army are surrounded!
This is an inevitable result.
Because Meng Buge wanted to return to Beirong, there was only one way to go, retreat to Liangzhou and capture Yanmen Pass. So this time, Ji Qingchen's army just went to the northern capital for a walk, and then followed Meng Buge's army into Liaozhou, and surrounded Meng Buge under Yanmen Pass. But what made Ji Qingchen miscalculate was that Haoge's army did not go north, but disappeared, and disappeared under the noses of Meng Li, Cao Yukun, and Zhou Shun.
When Meng Li asked the scout to send this news to Ji Qingchen's big tent, he was also surprised. Immediately summoned Bai Xiangcheng and Cheng Qianfan, Xu Dachun and other generals to the big tent to discuss the military situation.
"Your Highness, this must be man-made, the 40,000 army disappeared out of thin air, and the only one who can do this in Shangzhou is the Wei clan." Bai Xiangcheng said bluntly, his face was very ugly, let go of Haoge's army of 40,000, and Dayan would have to suffer a lot when he invaded the hinterland of Beirong!
"Shangzhou Weishi? That's too bold, isn't it? Cheng Qianfan said in disbelief, "What are they doing this for?" ”
"Since this matter happened on Wei's territory, let them handle it themselves!" Xu Dachun said, "The metropolitan governor can transfer Meng Li and Cao Yukun to Liaozhou, so as not to be framed by Ji Zhao." ”
All three expressed their opinions.
However, Ji Qingchen didn't speak, and he also fell into deep thought. Because he felt that Wei Shi had made such a big move, there must be an ulterior secret.
As for what the secret is?
He just couldn't figure it out.
It can only be affirmed that framing Meng Li and Cao Yukun will seize the military power of the two, this is certain. With his understanding of Ji Zhao, this is due to Ji Zhao's temperament, and he will never be merciful at this time. However, Ji Qingchen also knows that with the ability of Mengli, Cao Yukun, and Zhou Shun, they may not be able to escape Ji Zhao's trap, but the three of them can obediently hand over the military power, and the current Ji Zhao does not have this ability, so he is not worried. As long as Meng Li, Cao Yukun, and Zhou Shun arrive in Liangzhou, no matter how Ji Zhao frames the three of them, he has the ability to settle the problem.
The big problem now is to figure out what Weiss wants to do by doing this.
Just as the big tent fell silent, suddenly, another Wei shouted, "Your Highness, King's Landing!" ”
"Pass it on!" Ji Qingchen was taken aback and immediately said.
The guards outside the tent responded and strode into the big tent and handed a copper pipe to Ji Qingchen, which was the same copper pipe as the secret letter that conveyed Jiang Rou to King's Landing last time.
It's just that Ji Qingchen didn't pick it up, but Bai Xiangcheng took the copper pipe, opened the copper pipe and took out the letter and handed it to Ji Qingchen. Ji Qingchen took the letter, just glanced at it, his face changed greatly, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, he didn't speak, and handed over the secret letter to Bai Xiangcheng, and Bai Xiangcheng handed it to Cheng Qianfan and Xu Dachun after reading it.
After Xu Dachun finished reading it, he couldn't help blurting out and scolding, "These people are too bold, right?" ”
"It's not just boldness, they want to rebel!" Cheng Qianfan said, he couldn't be angry anymore.
The content of the letter is not much, but it is very heavy.
Because the content is that Wang Yin led 10,000 elite cavalry to escort Mo Dahan and Ahsan to King's Landing, but when the army reached a small stream only a hundred miles from the boundary of King's Landing, they were intercepted and killed by an unknown cavalry ambushed nearby. Modahan and Ahsan were not harmed by Wang Yin's protection, but Wang Yin's 10,000 cavalry suffered heavy losses, and nearly 2,000 men were killed in the battle.
And the number of unidentified assassins has reached 3,000.
"Is there any connection between Webster's hiding Hauge and the emergence of an unknown group of people who want to assassinate Modahan?" Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
"If so, can you think that some people don't want Modahan to live?" Xu Dachun said, "Could it be that Mo Dahan has their handle in his hands?" ”
As soon as Xu Dachun said this, Ji Qingchen in the big tent was shocked.
Because Xu Dachun's words reminded him of something, it made him think of something, but it was a little vague.
After a long time, he sighed lightly and said, "This king knows the purpose of the Wei Clan. ”
Bai Xiangcheng, Cheng Qianfan, and Xu Dachun all moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen.
"Back then, the prince and Beirong fought and died in Yanmen Pass, you all know this, right?" Ji Qingchen asked, his eyes solemn.
The three of them couldn't stop nodding, especially Bai Xiangcheng, his memory of this incident was even more profound, because it was his father who died in this battle that made it difficult for him to live in the Bai family, and he was rumored to have a crush on his stepmother and was driven out of the family, and he was reduced to being a homeless man on the street.
"When the prince died in battle, some people suspected the cause of his death, because from various signs after the war, it can be seen that when the Great Yan army fought against the Beirong Jingcai, there was a mistake in tactics. There is only one explanation, and that is that someone betrayed them. It's just that there was no conclusive evidence at that time, and this was just a speculation by the Privy Council, which was a personal judgment, and it was not made public. However, now it is different, Mo Dahan is the Great Khan King of Beijung, as the supreme king of Beijung, he must have known the secrets of the year, you say that if Mo Dahan reached King's Landing, he told the truth behind the scenes of the battle in person with the generous gift of his father. When Ji Qingchen said this, he sighed and continued, "I'm afraid how many people will suffer at that time!" ”
"So, the purpose of Wei's hiding Hauge is also for Modahan?" Xu Dachun asked.
"Quite possibly." Bai Xiangcheng said, "If the Wei clan wants to kill Mo Dahan, with their family identity and status, it is impossible to openly attack Wang Yin's army like this interception, but only secretly, like poisoning, like secret assassination, etc., and Hao Ge is Mo Dahan's brother, as long as Hao Ge agrees to cooperate with the Wei family, Mo Dahan will be a precaution, and it will not be difficult to kill Mo Dahan at that time." ”
"Also, if Hauge escapes, he will definitely be the Great Khan King when he arrives in Beirong, and if his people kill Modahan, they will clear Wei's suspicion, because everyone can think that Hauge will kill Modahan in order to be the Great Khan King." Cheng Qianfan said, the whip of analysis penetrates!
"I'm afraid it's not just Wei who wants to kill Modahan, but others also want to kill, but they just don't act." Ji Qingchen said, "As for the interception and killing of Wang Yin this time, this king thinks it is just a signal to show his strength, but this person is doing this, what does he want to do?" ”
"Your Highness, does the person who attacked Wang Yin this time have anything to do with Yizhou and Liguo?" Bai Xiangcheng said, "The last time King's Landing sent a letter, didn't Zhang Rang and Guo Persuasion say that they killed a group of secret agents of the Yi clan lurking in King's Landing City? also said that there is a big fish in it, it is Bai Zhiquan's eldest son Bai Shangwu. ”
Bai Xiangcheng is talking about the masterpieces of Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, which were just sent to Ji Qingchen's desk yesterday. Bai Xiangcheng, as Ji Qingchen's number one confidant, naturally has the right to know the content of this news.
"So the Liguo and Lingnan Yi tribes were also involved in this conspiracy incident?" Ji Qingchen sighed, "If the country and the Lingnan Yi clan are involved, they can't do without the shadow of Xishu and the Eastern Wilderness." It seems that this time Modahan's return to King's Landing will cause another crisis! ”
"So what do we do?" Xu Dachun suddenly asked, "When will the general attack be launched?" ”
"Let's make sure of Hauge's whereabouts first!" Ji Qingchen said, he suddenly thought of an idea, and continued, "We have besieged Meng Buge's army, and now they have not run out of food, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong, so we don't need to rush to attack. ”
"As for King's Landing, we'll see, at least we're not in a disadvantageous situation for now." Ji Qingchen said, "Besides, with Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, this king believes that the two of them will handle this matter well." ”
Seeing that Ji Qingchen gave an order, and trusted Zhang Rang and Guo Quan, the three of them didn't say anything anymore, and when they saw that Ji Qingchen had nothing to say, they got up and left the big tent.
After the three of them left, Ji Qingchen, who had been silent for a while, instructed his guards to invite Liu Wen to the big tent.
Since the last time Liu Wen followed Ji Qingchen to Caozhou, because Mo Dahan's army of more than 200,000 people was approaching Caozhou City, he didn't say anything to Liu Wen. And the last time he defeated Mo Dahan, he was reminded by Gu Qi to reuse Liu Wen, so he combined the admiration of his uncle Ye Qingzhi and Gu Qi for Liu Wen, and determined that Liu Wen was indeed talented and helpful to him, so he decided to talk to Liu Wen well, and took Liu Wen with him on this expedition.
And just after Ji Qingchen ordered Liu Wen to be invited, he didn't wait long in the big tent, Liu Wen strode into the big tent, he saluted Ji Qingchen, and sat on the next seat.
This action is chic and casual, but it is a bit arrogant and hermitty.
"Mr. Berkey is proficient in arithmetic, do you know why the king of the Dao has summoned you to the Great Tent?" Ji Qingchen said half-jokingly.
"Naturally, I know the way." Liu Wen replied disapprehantly.
"Oh——?" Ji Qingchen was a little curious, waiting for Liu Wen's next words.
"Your Highness summoned the old man, did you want to ask the old man, what kind of talent is there and what can help you?" Liu Wen said word by word.
Ji Qingchen, who was still gentle and elegant just now, was a little embarrassed by Liu Wen's words, because this was indeed the reason why he summoned Liu Wen to the big tent today, but he was broken by Liu Wen in person, which made his face uncomfortable! He smiled and said, "Since Mr. Burkey already knows the truth, can you solve a question or two for this king?" ”
Liu Wen smiled indifferently and asked inscrutablely, "I'm afraid that even if the old man says it, His Highness won't believe it!" ”
"Grace ——?" Ji Qingchen said incomprehensibly.
"The art of public opinion, the words of princely luck, the path of immortality, will these highnesses believe it?" Liu Wen said lightly.
"......" Ji Qingchen was shocked, and was completely speechless, and only then did a sentence float in his heart, "You are a god stick!" ”
