Chapter 402: Ambush
Lin Qingwan sat in the tent, roasting around the stove, silently listening to the noise coming from the main tent in the distance. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā
Yi Han sat beside her, his hand on the sword at his side,
Since they arrived at the camp today, Yi Han's hand has never let go of this sword.
Xiao Shi and Lan Na stayed in the tent very honestly, and never went out unless necessary, let alone Lin Qingwan's guards, at this time they all stayed in the tent, in order not to make people suspicious, they didn't even light lamps and braziers in their tents.
Lin Qingwan's eyes were fixed on the direction of the main tent, although she couldn't see anything, she could hear that the banquet over there was the most important time.
At the main tent of the Liao camp, Ganle and Gan Zhunzheng were holding a little girl alone, and drank the wine at hand with satisfaction, and smiled at Wen Dihan, who was sitting on the side: "The third brother is still powerful, and he can find such a superb product when he fights." ”
Wen Dihan also took a sip of wine, and said with a smile indifferently: "I only defend here, and I am not as busy as the eldest brother and the second brother, so I naturally have the heart to search for beauties." ”
Ganle thought that Wen Dihan was asking for battle, so he said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, when we conquer Dingzhou, you can do it here." ”
If Wendihan is allowed to make a move now, their edge will definitely be covered, and what credit will there be at that time?
Wen Dihan sneered in his heart, this is a made up his mind that he will not resist?
Wen Dihan lowered his eyes, hiding the sharpness in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he was back to normal, he glanced at the two people who were happily holding the beauty, and exchanged a look with the henchman beside him.
Ganle and Ganzhun probably didn't expect him to pick such a time to kill them, so they only brought a team of personal guards over.
Also, the war with Liang has just begun, and their father is still alive, even if there is a conflict because of military exploits, smart people will not take the throne at this time.
But who made the timing so coincidental?
The henchmen quietly retreated, and asked people to send wine and food to the cadres and the henchmen, at this time the night was dark, the weather was cold, and it was cold to eat something hot to feel alive.
This is in the Liao camp, and the safety is naturally guaranteed, so the guards only left a few people to guard outside the tent, and the others followed down to eat.
Wait until they're done eating and then come back to replace it.
The ugly hour was approaching, and it was the most sleepy and relaxed time of the day, and Ganle and Ganjun also fell on the couch in the tent with their beauties in their arms, and Wen Dihan did not squint at their absurdity, his hands trembled with nervousness, and he staggered to his feet, and the hem of his clothes swept to the wine glass on the table and fell to the ground with a "clang".
Ganle and Ganjun, who were playing with the beauty, didn't go to their hearts, and continued to hug the beauty and laugh, but the guards guarding outside were covered by someone, and their necks were cut as soon as they moved.
After all, one of the guards was alert and made a short warning sound, and Ganle and Ganzhun Hanmao looked up vigilantly, and Wen Dihan had already pulled out the knife next to him and slashed at Ganle.
Ganle subconsciously threw out the beauty in his arms, Wendihan did not avoid the tip of the knife, and after piercing the beauty, he pulled out and continued to attack Ganle, at the same time, a group of soldiers rushed in and rushed towards Ganle and Ganzhun.
The brothers didn't know that they had fallen into Wendyhan's trap.
"Wendihan, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of your father's question?" ”
Wen Dihan sneered, "My father has passed away, and I will be the Khan of Da Liao in the future, who will ask me about my sins?" ”
"Impossible," cried Ganzhun, "before we set out on the expedition, my father was still alive and well." ”
"You also said it was before the expedition."
Ganle and Ganjun's faces changed drastically, and while resisting the soldiers who wanted to kill them, they roared angrily: "Impossible, how can we not receive any news? ”
Wen Dihan sneered and ordered, "Kill them, and the one who wins the first rank will be rewarded with 100 gold." ”
When the soldiers who rushed in heard this, they immediately burst into spirits and rushed frantically towards Ganle and Ganzhun.
The ones who can be selected are both henchmen and warriors, and no matter how brave Ganle and Ganzhun are, they can't stop so many people, so they quickly died under the knife.
The commotion here quickly subsided, and Lin Qingwan stood in front of the tent, listened with her ears pricked up for a while, and looked at Yi Han.
Yi Han nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "It should be over." ”
Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "It's late at night, let's rest too." ”
The next day, Lin Qingwan saw the bodies of Ganle and Ganzhun, because Wen Dihan had told them in advance, so although the two died under the knife, their faces were not damaged much, only Ganle had a knife wound on his face, and the identities of the two could be seen at a glance.
Lin Qingwan looked at Wen Dihan and asked, "Is the third prince sure to take over the military power in their hands?" ”
"Of course," Wen Dihan said confidently, "Lord Lin, don't forget, before they came, I had been guarding Youzhou for ten years. ”
Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and said, "It is naturally good that the third prince can take over smoothly, so that a lot of right and wrong can be saved." ”
"Lord Lin, don't worry."
The two of them pretended to laugh for a moment, and as soon as they turned around, their smiles faded.
Wendihan said to his henchmen: "We are in a hurry, and we must immediately take over the military power in the hands of the cadres and cadres. ”
"But there are their own soldiers in it, and there are many recruited soldiers, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to control them."
Wendihan pondered for a moment and said: "Send a strong army over, and say that the Khan died, and the eldest prince and the second prince rushed back to the big tent after receiving the news, but they were ambushed by the Liang people. If there is a rebellion in the army, there will be no forgiveness for killing, and the cadres and their henchmen will be found out, and the chickens and monkeys will be killed. ”
Regardless of whether the Liang people in Shangjing succeed or not, his side has already taken this step, so it is impossible to retreat further.
Wen Dihan said: "Watch Lin Qingwan closely, and then send someone to keep an eye on Dingzhou, once Su Zhang has any abnormal movement, escort Lin Qingwan to the front of the battle, and let the cadres and cadres rush to the front line." ”
The orders went down one by one, and Wendihan's henchmen were ordered to leave one by one.
Lin Qingwan, who returned to the camp with Yi Han, also said: "Bring the pen and ink, I want to send a letter to Wu Shilang." ”
"Yes."
Lanna took the initiative to bring her pen and ink, Yi Han frowned, did not snatch the grinding errand from her hand, and silently stepped aside.
Lin Qingwan raised her head and smiled at Lan Na, and thought for a moment before she put pen to paper.
Lin Qingwan informed Wu Shilang Ganle and Ganzhun that they were dead, and asked him to inform Su Zhang to shrink his forces and not to be an enemy of Wen Dihan.
This time the letter did not go well, the guard was stopped at the door, Wen Dihan pondered for a moment before saying: "Let him go, it depends on whether Dingzhou has really shrunk his forces, if so, it means that they are indeed sincere cooperation." ”
The guards were able to leave.
Knowing that Ganle and Ganzhun were really dead, Wu Shilang and Tang Shenjun were so excited that they walked around twice, and when they saw Lin Qingwan's order to shrink their troops, General Tang Shen said with a regretful face: "If we can have reinforcements, at this time, take advantage of their internal strife and fight them in one go, maybe we can recover the two states of Youyun." ”
"The county lord is still in their hands, don't act rashly, you go and let people guard against the Liao army on the opposite side, and I will go to Dingzhou to inform General Su in person."
But as soon as General Tang left, Wu Shilang and Jiang Qian went into the room to find a secret word, this time it was also three words, "civil strife, Han".
Jiang Qian gave him a handkerchief in his hand and said, "This is coming back with the letter." ”
Wu Shilang muttered: "Lord Lin wants the Liao camp to be chaotic from the inside, I asked General Tang, there are not many Han soldiers in the Liao camp, most of them are Han people who have been plundered, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to rebel." ”
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try, if we want Wendihan to take full control of the army, then our Daliang will be in danger, and there is no news from the Asalan Ministry."
"I'll go find General Su," Wu Shilang said, "I've sent a message to him before, so I don't know if he has contacted the people over there." ”
Jiang Qian said: "I sent a letter to the capital and asked them to bring the merchants to Dingzhou." ”
The two sides acted together, Su Zhang didn't expect Lin Qingwan to really calculate Ganle and Ganzhun to death, and he was stunned for a while before reacting.
He was silent for a long time before ordering: "Withdraw your forces, only hold on the city wall, and no matter what happens on the opposite side, you are not allowed to attack." ”
"General Su, what about the way to make civil strife on the other side?"
"A few days ago, we captured a lot of prisoners during the battle, including several Han Chinese, and now I can contact the Han soldiers over there, but they are all slaves, even if they rebel, they will be sent to death, which is of little significance." General Su said: "I don't think Lord Lin should let them die, right?" ”
"Then what do you think Lord Lin means?"
Su Zhang frowned, "Just three words?" ”
"Yes," Wu Shilang spread out the letter, "the code words are only those three words." ”
Su Zhang scratched his head and said, "Why can't you write a few more, but write more clearly." ”
Wu Shilang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said: "Only these three words are very draining, after all, she is not like us can rummage through books to compare, I heard the guards who came back say that she has always been around people, even when she sleeps at night, there are two girls guarding her." ”
Su Zhang sighed, "Is there any hint besides these three words?" ”
Wu Shilang thought about it, gave him the handkerchief he was holding, and said, "And this handkerchief, the guard who came back said that it was embroidered by a girl named Xiao Shi next to the county lord." ”
Su Zhang thoughtfully, called his henchmen loudly, and asked, "What about the prisoners you caught a few days ago?" ”
It's all locked up in the tent.
"Find those Han people, I have something to ask them."
At the same time, the Liao camp on the opposite side was in chaos, because Wen Dihan suddenly brought troops over to announce that the Khan had died, and not only that, but also brought the corpses of Ganle and Ganzhun.
The camp was in an uproar, and the first thing to disbelieve was Ganle and Ganzhun's henchmen, and the two sides clashed, and Wendihan suppressed it by bloody means.
More than 80 people were executed in one go, of which six were high-ranking generals, more than 20 personal guards who followed Ganle and Ganzhun around, and the rest were some middle-level generals and personal soldiers.
Wen Dihan took over the military power of the two battalions in the middle and east, and it seemed that he had suppressed those who opposed him, but the hearts of the people in the army were fluctuating, and obviously many people were not convinced, but they did not act because they were suppressed for a while.
Wen Dihan knew that there was not much time left for him, and he had to gather his military power before the news of Shangjing reached here, otherwise there might be civil strife in Daliao.
