Chapter 642: Spies
Standing on the city wall, watching the mighty army leave the capital, Xie Shiyun's heart rose to his throat.
The black clouds on the horizon overwhelmed the city, and everything was in chaos, as if they had become confused.
Xie Wen walked on the official road with grain and grass and hundreds of thousands of troops.
At the beginning of leaving the capital, the road was very stable, and when they reached a place called Tiger Leaping Gorge, more than a dozen masters suddenly rushed out and blocked their way.
Xie Shiyun had been prepared for a long time, so those people did not succeed.
Xie Wen looked at the sky getting dark, the Tiger Leaping Gorge is a difficult place to attack, the official road is in the middle of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, there are cliffs on both sides, if there are people in ambush on it and throw stones down, they must have suffered heavy casualties.
However, if you don't pass from here, you will take a long detour, about two more days and two nights, Xie Wen decided to camp next to the Tiger Leaping Gorge first.
The adjutant general asked Xie Wen, "Why don't we go over directly, in this case, won't we be able to reach the front line to support the battlefield soon?" ”
Xie Wen said with a smile, "Even if we want to support normal, we have to conserve our strength, it's not so late, everyone is tired, so let's take a rest, and we'll hurry up tomorrow morning." ”
He spoke it so loudly that all could hear it.
That night, Xie Wen had people set up camp in the same place, and all the people stayed in place and obeyed the orders.
The night was quiet, and several black-clothed men rushed out of the shadows, sneakily holding torches, and were about to walk towards the place where the food and grass were.
When they were about to succeed, several officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out of the shadows and surrounded them, and those men in black knew that they had been fooled, and their resistance was ineffective, and they were all arrested.
Xie Wen looked at the arrested man and asked, "Who sent you?" ”
Several people lowered their heads and refused to speak, Xie Wen originally wanted to interrogate them on the road, but he didn't expect that they were a group of dead corpses, and after learning that the plan failed, they all bit the poison hidden in their teeth and committed suicide one by one.
Xie Wen looked at them in shock, thinking to himself, it seems that the forces behind this should not be underestimated.
If it was someone sent by Da Yuan, it should be to prevent them from going to the front line to help Shen Sijun, but if it wasn't Da Yuan's people, then this matter would be difficult to do......
He hurriedly asked someone to report to Xie Shiyun in the palace, and told him all the ins and outs of this matter and his own thoughts.
He understood that Xie Shiyun, who was in the palace, had to think more than anyone else, so when he received the news, he would definitely be cranky, and instead of this, he should say what he thought, so that he could feel more at ease.
The army marched for three or two days, and the messenger quickly arrived at the palace, and after Xie Shiyun received the news, it was really just like Shen Wen thought of it, and he was no longer so worried.
Shen Wen was also very happy after knowing that Xie Wen was not injured.
At this time, there was a drought in the north of the country, and it was very tricky, Xie Shiyun discussed with a group of ministers, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he was also anxious and had no time to take care of anything else.
On the other side, Xie Wen's army kept driving towards the border pass, and occasionally encountered a few small thieves on the road, but they were all defeated one by one.
They were a well-trained group, and only one group came at a time, not as if they were really trying to stop them from marching, but rather to delay their arrival at the border.
Although Xie Wen could see their purpose, there was no way to stop them, after all, he didn't know when this group of people would come out again.
He could only follow a small group of people in disguise first, and quickly came to the frontier.
The deputy general led by Shen Sijun knew Xie Wen, and he quickly put Xie Wen into the general's tent.
Xie Wen saw Shen Sijun at this time.
However, Shen Sijun was not seriously injured as rumored, but the whole person who was already well was lying lazily on the bed, still holding the military book in his hand, looking very leisurely.
Xie Wen sighed deeply, walked forward quickly, and slowly let go of the hanging heart.
"You really scared me, I was relieved to see you like this."
After Shen Sijun heard the voice, he slowly raised his eyes, "Huh? What are you doing here? ”
"It's not because I'm worried about you, everyone thinks that you are seriously injured and will die soon, and the emperor is also very worried about you!"
As soon as Xie Shiyun was mentioned, Shen Sijun hurriedly asked, "How is the emperor, now?" He wouldn't believe I was dying, would he? ”
Xie Wen smiled bitterly, "You said that you are on the front line, how can the emperor be so relieved to stay in the palace alone, after learning the news, he was about to be scared to death, he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and he often had nightmares, if it wasn't for that, could I come here to help you?" ”
Shen Sijun frowned, he missed Xie Shiyun very much, and wanted to give his news to Xie Shiyun, but he couldn't do it now.
Shen Sijun asked people to go out to guard, he pulled Xie Wen closer and said, "I have a fine work by my side." ”
After arriving at the border pass, Shen Sijun won several small rounds through his own tactics, and the enemy army could not find its breakthrough at all.
Suddenly, one day General Dayuan came to attack with a pair of soldiers and horses, Shen Sijun asked a small number of people to chase, and the rest stayed to guard the camp, but suddenly someone sneaked into the hinterland, Shen Sijun sent a pair of men and horses to chase, and as a result, he was ambushed and seriously injured.
"Do you know who that spy is?" Listening to Shen Sijun's tone, he seemed to already know.
Shen Sijun nodded, "That person is probably happy now, looking forward to my death every day outside, and running to ask Emperor Dayuan for merit." ”
"So......" Xie Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what was going on.
No wonder, this time the news came back so timely, just two days after Shen Sijun was injured, there was news that he was seriously injured and was about to die.
It seems that it should have been passed on by the spy.
On the one hand, it is to shake the morale of the army, on the other hand, it is to show his determination to Emperor Dayuan, and on the other hand, it is not to invite merit.
It seems that this spy really has two brushes, which should not be underestimated.
It's no wonder that Shen Sijun wants to hide in the camp tent and pretend to be sick, if he finds out the clues, maybe there will be trouble again, if this kind of person is not removed early, I don't know what kind of disaster it will cause.
"You have a good rest now, I'm here, I'll take care of the rest." Xie Wen patted his chest.
Shen Sijun smiled heartily, "Then there is Brother Lao, with you, I can really sleep peacefully." ”
