Chapter 47 The swallowtail guest on the autumn mountain
Dangqiu Mountain was originally just an ordinary mountain, but later a group of mountain thieves came here, occupying the mountain as the king, robbing and robbing pedestrians and merchants passing by.
Later, because he provoked the court of Chu State, he was sent troops by the court to clean it up.
However, what they didn't expect was that this group of bandits was large in number, powerful, and occupied the advantage of the mountains, and defeated the army that came to conquer them.
Therefore, the court had no choice but to appease them, but I didn't expect this gang of thieves to really agree to the court's edict.
Therefore, they changed from bandits to officers and soldiers, and instead of withdrawing from Dangqiu Mountain, they recruited troops and launched an attack on other bandits around them, expanding their territory again.
The imperial court was also happy to see this, but it didn't expect that they had become an important threat to the end.
The leader of this gang of bandits is named Yan Bing, and he is still a feudal official of the Chu State.
At this moment, in the main hall on the Dangqiu Mountain, Yan Bing was talking to a middle-aged man, his attitude was respectful and obedient, as if a subordinate was facing a superior.
I saw a sunspot man sitting on the main seat, while Yan Bing was sitting at the bottom, obediently listening to the man's teachings.
Where is there the appearance of the great master of Dangqiu Mountain and now the general of Chu State?
However, the fact is that he does not have any arrogance and majesty in front of this person, and he constantly flatters men.
"Yan Bing, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, this is the time when you need to help!" The man said to Yan Bing.
"Don't worry, Yan Bing's life was given by you, even if you go to the soup and the fire!" Yan Bing said resolutely, without the slightest hesitation, which showed how obedient he was to this man.
"Very good, it's not in vain that I've cultivated you for so many years! You are my most valued subordinate, and you were originally used to deal with the Chu State, but this time in order to prevent the Southern Tang Dynasty from making peace with the Chu State, it was worth exposing it! The mysterious man said with a pleasant face, he was very satisfied with Yan Bing's attitude.
Thinking that he is the leader of the swallowtail organization, he can be described as a high authority, and he is naturally an existence that makes countless people daunted. Therefore, he admired Yan Bing's attitude of not changing after being in a high position.
That's right, he's a swallowtail.
The leader of the swallowtail organization came to deal with Gu An in person this time.
"It's a privilege to serve your subordinates!" Yan Bing said solemnly.
"Hehe, that's good! This time, you will listen to my arrangement and wait for action! Dovetail said.
"Yes, it's up to the adults to decide!" Yan Bing respectfully obeyed.
"Hmm!" Swallowtail nodded, stood up and left the living room.
"Greetings, sir!" Yan Bing said respectfully to the man's back.
After the swallowtail disappeared completely, Yan Bing's face became cloudy. There is still a submissive look just now, but a look of resentment.
Yes, he was cultivated by dovetail to have his status today. But now he was no longer the wretched creature at the mercy of others.
He has great strength, so he has his own careful thoughts in his heart. He is not willing to be subservient to others and obeys the orders of the swallowtail!
But he also knew that Swallowtail was an important figure in the Yan Kingdom, holding great power, and he was not a person he could easily offend.
But now let him sell his life to the swallowtail? But he didn't want to.
This is clearly to send him to death, but he heard that this Gu An is not a good person to get along with, and the first few assassinations failed but suffered heavy losses.
This time, let him be a pawn, which is to consume his strength, and it is also to damage the confidence he relies on.
"Swallowtail, don't you want to assassinate Gu An? Well, I'll assassinate you! Yan Bing's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had a brilliant plan.
So he wrote a letter by hand, wanting to meet Gu An secretly and seek cooperation!
So he called a henchman to come forward.
"Wang Ming, you secretly went down the mountain to find the specific location of the Southern Tang Mission, and said that I have something important to visit General Gu!" Yan Bing commanded.
"Yes, General!" Wang Ming didn't ask the reason, so he nodded yes.
After Wang Ming left, Yan Bing paced back and forth in the living room, falling into deep thought.
This time he decided to take a risk and find Gu An to cooperate with him. It would be great if he could take out Swallowtail, so that he could continue to be his Earth Emperor without any worries.
Wang Ming left in a hurry, without arousing anyone's suspicion, as he would often follow Yan Bing's orders to leave Dangqiu Mountain.
Wang Ming went all the way, and he also had a general understanding of the location of the Southern Tang Mission, because this was the object of the general's attention recently.
This time, the general asked him to go to Gu An of the Southern Tang Mission, and although he didn't know why, he still carried out the task firmly.
Moreover, he is also a serious soldier of the Chu State, and he is not afraid of misunderstandings by the Southern Tang Mission.
He rushed for at least four hours and finally arrived at the location of the Southern Tang Mission.
"Stop, who are you? What happened? A soldier stopped Wang Ming.
"I am the personal soldier of Yan Bing, the general of the Chu State, and this time I came to see General Gu on the order of the general!" Then Wang Ming took out his waist card from his body and handed it to the soldier.
"Well, that's good! Wait a minute, I'll report it! The soldier gave an explanation to his companion and hurried to report it.
After a while, Zhao Chong came.
"So you want to see our major general?" Zhao Chong looked at Wang Ming and asked.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Mingyi saw that he was a general, and his attitude became respectful.
"Well, then you come with me!" Zhao Chong then took Wang Ming to Gu An's barracks.
"Major General, a subordinate who claims to be General Dangkou asks to see you!" Zhao Chong said to Gu An.
"Oh, General Dangkou, who is this?" Gu An looked dazed.
He really hadn't heard of this general.
However, he also summoned Wang Ming in.
"Wang Ming has seen General Gu!"
After Wang Ming came in, he saw Gu An, and he was a little surprised, he didn't expect this General Gu to be such a young person, but he has also been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and as a thief, his instinct to observe words and emotions is naturally very good, so he can become Yan Bing's henchman.
"Your general asked you to come to see me, what is the matter?" Gu An asked straight to the point.
"Our general has a letter for me to give to General Gu, please take a look." Wang Ming handed over Yan Bing's letter to Gu An.
Gu An opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
He didn't expect that this Yan Guo's hand was too long, and he didn't expect that this Dangkou general was also one of theirs.
However, judging from the letter, this general may have different intentions.
That's the only thing he's thankful for.
After reading it, Gu An handed the letter to Zhao Chong and asked him to browse it as well.
And he said to Wang Ming: "You go back and tell your general, just say that I agree with his opinion, and I will go to the appointment on time tomorrow night!" ”
"I will truthfully convey the general's words and leave below!" Wang Ming saluted and said.
"Well, you can go back!" Gu An nodded.
After Dao Wang Ming left, Gu An looked at Zhao Chong and asked, "Does Uncle Zhao think this matter is true or false?" ”
Zhao Chong shook his head, a little unsure about this matter.
"I'm also lonely about this Yan Bing, so it's hard to draw conclusions!"
"Well, then, you go and let Wanqin and Lord Wei Jingxuan come." Gu An thought about it and was ready to listen to the opinions of the two.
One of them is wise and strategic, and the other, as a minister of Chu, should be no stranger to this Dangkou general.
So listen to what they have to say, so that he can make a decision.
Mu Wanqin and Wei Jingxuan arrived almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other with some doubts, not knowing what Gu An was looking for them for.
"You're here! This time I have an important matter to discuss with you. With that, he handed the letter to the two of them.
"Yan Bing? Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a spy of Yan Kingdom! Wei Jingxuan gasped, a little surprised, and he was also scared in his heart.
He didn't expect that this former bandit, now the general of Dangkou, was a nail planted by Yan Guo. This incident was no less than an earthquake for the state of Chu.
Now Yan Bing controls a large area around Dangqiu Mountain, and his army is nearly 10,000 people.
If this suddenly attacks the Chu State, it will be impossible to guard against.
After Gu An heard Wei Jingxuan's words, he couldn't help asking, "Lord Wei can know about this person!" ”
Wei Jingxuan shook his head: "I've just heard of him, but I don't know about it!" ”
Then he said: "But I heard that this person was originally just a group of bandits who occupied Dangqiu Mountain, but after being edicted by the imperial court, he became the current general of Dangkou." Moreover, this person bribed many ministers of the court and the central government, and he was like a soil emperor in the Autumn Mountain. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Jingxuan had a sad expression.
He is dedicated to the country and the people, but he can't get rid of these moths, which are the thorns in his heart, like a fish in his throat, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.
Gu An also knew Wei Jingxuan's thoughts, so he had to comfort one or two.
"Bo Yan, I think this matter can be done!" Since this Yan Bing is unwilling to succumb to the Yan Kingdom, it is just right for them to join forces to deal with the Swallowtail Organization.
Wei Jingxuan regained his composure and said, "Well, what Mu Gongzi said is right! Since this person has been a general for many years, he has long been lost in the desire brought by power, and now that he suddenly has an additional official, he will definitely not be convinced. This is something we can take advantage of. ”
Mu Wanqin said with a smile: "Yes, Yan Bing wants to use us, so we can naturally use him too!" ”
The people of Swallowtail would never have imagined that this subordinate they trusted would betray them.
When the time comes, Gu An and Yan Bing should join forces with each other, just in time to wipe out the swallowtail organization.
After Gu An saw that the two of them agreed to this matter, he also nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see this Yan Bing tomorrow night!" ”
Mu Wanqin said: "Why don't I go with you!" ”
Gu An shook his head: "No, I'll just go!" And wouldn't it be dangerous if there was a fraud? You're going to worry me. ”
Seeing this, Mu Wanqin no longer insisted, so she had to agree with what he meant: "Okay then"
Wei Jingxuan added: "Just in case, when General Gu goes to see Yan Bing, he can have people secretly ambush around, while General Zhao will answer in the back!" ”
Zhao Chong nodded: "Understood!" ”
Mu Wanqin and Gu An also nodded in approval!
