Chapter 403: Escape

On this day, Cui Jie took a few henchmen and generals to inspect the major military camps.

On the way, he was surrounded by someone who brought him, that person was Cui Jie, the second-in-command of the Pyeongchang Military Store, and Hu Yanji, the leader of the Pyeongchang Army before it was reorganized.

The DPRK and China are divided into factions, and the military is naturally installed by the major forces, although it is better than the struggle between the DPRK and China, but the army is also divided into factions.

Hu Yanji has never participated in the open and secret battles of the major forces, he is old in qualifications, and no one dares to calculate him, Cui Jie also admires him very much, and relies on him a lot.

Now that he is surrounded by him, Cui Jie is puzzled, "General Huyan, why is this so." ”

Hu Yanji said, "Why, General Cui, you know in your heart that the general is on the orders of His Majesty and wants to arrest you." ”

"Your Majesty, what is the case, Your Majesty has not asked about political affairs for many years, and has never issued any orders, all through His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you dare to pretend to be Your Majesty's name?"

Although he said so, Cui Jie has been completely guarded, born in a family like the Cui family, he has seen a lot of ups and downs since he was a child, people's minds change, anything can happen, if His Majesty listens to the slander, it is also possible to deal with the Cui family, I don't know what situation His Royal Highness the Prince is in now, but as long as he has military power in his hands, the Cui family and the prince will be fine for the time being, so they must not be arrested.

I have been in the army for ten years, and most of the Pyeongchang army is loyal to the prince and himself, the general, as long as they are killed by pretending to be His Majesty's orders, then there is still a chance to fight back.

With a decision in his heart, Cui Jie gave the people around him a look, and rushed out desperately later.

The generals will understand.

Hu Yanji was also afraid of his prestige in the army, so he didn't dare to do anything in the army, but after knowing Cui Jie's itinerary, he ambushed on the road, even so, he was still afraid of Cui Jie's personal soldiers, these were the soldiers with the highest combat effectiveness, and they only listened to Cui Jie's orders, so he still wanted to try his best to persuade Cui Jie not to resist.

"Someone in the court reported that the prince colluded with the Cui family and wanted to rebel, and His Majesty, in order to prove the innocence of His Royal Highness the prince, wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, and asked General Cui to understand and go back with us to investigate, so as not to give an excuse to someone with a heart. ”

Cui Jie said in his heart, what about this deception? I thought that you were not afraid of power and integrity, but it turned out that you had already taken refuge in Your Majesty, so you did not participate in other people's battles, and lurked by your side for many years.

"General Huyan also said, someone wants to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Cui family, Cui Jie naturally has to guard against others, today I will meet in the army, give you an explanation, General Huyan rest assured. ”

Several generals behind him gave several orders, and the pro-soldiers changed their formation, and entered a sharp sword to tear through the encirclement.

Seeing this, Hu Yanji raised his hand to let people gather and surround him, "Since General Cui refuses to cooperate, then the general will be rude." Catch Cui Jie, regardless of life or death. ”

The two sides immediately faced each other, although there were many people on Huyanji's side, Cui Jie's combat effectiveness was obviously much stronger, and they didn't love to fight, they only wanted to break through, so it was difficult to catch Cui Jie.

The soldiers fought desperately, and they wanted to send Cui Jie out.

Cui Jie was extremely brave at this time, and no one could enter his body, Hu Yanji underestimated him, or was Cui Jie broke through the encirclement and fled to the camp.

Hu Yanji and others chased after him, and Cui Jie accidentally got an arrow in his arm and fled in pain.

fled all the way back to the camp, Hu Yanji followed, and there were only a dozen soldiers left behind Cui Jie.

After entering the camp, Cui Jie's henchmen shouted, "Hu Yanji assassinated the general, stopped him, and killed him." ”

When the people in the camp heard this, they were also panicked, and someone immediately stopped in front of the camp to protect Cui Jie, and everyone saw that there were only a dozen of the general's party left, each with colors on their bodies, and the general was also hit by an arrow, and they were also very angry for a while, gritting their teeth with hatred for Hu Yanji, a traitor.

When everyone heard the movement here, they also rushed over, and Hu Yanji saw that he was stopped, and he also heard the words of Cui Jie's subordinates, and immediately took out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms.

Before he could speak, Cui Jie's henchmen had already snatched the bow and arrow of the people in front of him, and shot an arrow at Hu Yanji, who hurriedly dodged, and the arrow grazed his face.

"Kill the traitor!"

The soldiers were furious, and they were about to kill Hu Yanji, a traitor, Hu Yanji hurriedly raised the holy decree, "Cui and the prince rebelled, the prince has been taken, and we are about to catch Cui Jie and take him to Beijing to ask for the guilt. ”

It turned out that after the Shang Emperor made up his mind, he had already sent a secret order to Hu Yanji, and agreed on a day to do it, but now the prince has been dead for three days, and the news from Jingzhong has not had time to be sent to Cui Jie, Hu Yanji has already started.

Hearing this, Cui Jie knew that the prince was already more than lucky, and they were afraid that it was not an investigation, but that they wanted to die without proof.

Even if someone is loyal to him, but with His Majesty's orders, everyone will eventually turn against themselves, and now they can only leave with their cronies first and think about it in the long run.

Ye Lan also arrived at Dayingkou when he heard the movement, and saw that Cui Jie was injured at a glance, so he walked over quickly, but he still restrained himself, "Why is the general injured." ”

Cui Jie said, "It's not clear for a while, Your Majesty wants to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Cui family, Hu Yanji is His Majesty's person, you have a great relationship with me, they won't let you go, you quickly pack your things and come with us later." ”

Ye Lan listened to it and knew the seriousness of this matter, but said, "I can't go with you, you and me, everyone is just guessing, if I leave with you, it means that we are close, my father is still in Zuo Daying, he doesn't know what is going on here, they won't let my father go." ”

"I sent someone to pick him up. ”

Ye Lan shook his head, "He won't go with you, he's just an honest little general, he won't participate in this kind of struggle, you guys quickly find a way to go, I'll be fine." ”

Cui Jie was okay to persuade her again, but the conflict in front of her had already risen.

Hu Yanji's prestige in the army is not as good, and there are also his old subordinates here, everyone has been making a lot of noise for a long time, and everyone has stood in the camp.

Some people support Huyanji's side, and some people choose to support the general, and they can't get it for a while.

Cui Jie rubbed her head, and said in a rebellious voice, "Your Majesty even handed over the jade seal to His Royal Highness the Prince, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince risk rebellion, I see that General Huyan was bewitched by the enemy country, and falsely passed on His Majesty's orders, wanting to disturb the army of our Shang country, such a traitor is not an exaggeration to be executed on the spot." ”

Hu Yanji said, "General, don't argue anymore, you can be arrested now, don't disobey orders, the holy decree is written by His Majesty himself, everyone can check it." ”

Cui Jie caught a flaw in these words, the jade seal is in the hands of the prince, if the prince confesses, he will definitely hand over the jade seal, and there will be a jade seal on the holy decree, but he only said that it was written by His Majesty, and there must be fraud in it.

"It's a good handwriting, to deal with the generals of the Chinese army, you need to inform the three provinces and six departments, and stamp the seal, do you dare to say that there are jade seals on this holy decree?"

When Hu Yanji heard this, he was a little panicked, when the holy decree was sent, the prince had not been disposed of, and naturally there was no jade seal, "Bold Cui Jie, relying on the power of the prince, despise Your Majesty, it seems that you really don't look at Your Majesty in your eyes, I'm afraid you have already plotted to hide from the throne, if you don't catch him, Your Majesty will be rewarded." ”

Cui Jie saw that his heart was weak, and guessed that the jade seal had not fallen into their hands at that time, but he didn't know what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now.

"I see that you are pretending to pass on the holy decree, and you want to frame me, the commander of the army, to help the power of the enemy country, and you will not take down the traitor, let alone when. ”

After listening to their words, everyone was a little hesitant.

Ye Lan called the military doctor, "Wrap up the wound first." ”

The military doctor's knife skillfully cut out the scissors little by little, and then applied the medicine, and the arm was bloody for a while, Cui Jie did not say a word, and looked ahead angrily, this scene was also deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.

His henchman general shouted, "Since you are so righteous and righteous, then why are you ambushing the general halfway, you are framing the general, and you want to kill people." ”

Hu Yanji said, "I'm here, if I'm a spy, I can't run away in the army, in the same way, everyone controls General Cui, and when things come to light, we will know who is loyal and who is traitorous, and now we are all suspicious, and no one can leave." ”

"Have you forgotten how the Cui family instigated the prince and framed Zhongliang, how many families have been hit and collapsed, although some of you have been spared in the army, but the prince and the Cui family have taken over the dynasty alone, when will you and your family have a bright future?"

In the true and false, it is naturally given to those who put their personal grievances above the general righteousness, the prince has indeed suppressed many forces, and many of the generals present are inextricably linked.

Hu Yanji's words gave them an excuse to turn against the water.

Cui Jie naturally knew that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for him, so he only hated that he couldn't kill Hu Yanji, "Since everyone has their own opinions, everyone will enter the big tent of the Chinese army to confront each other, can General Hu Yan dare?"

Hu Yanji exchanged glances with the people beside him, "Why don't you dare?"

The soldiers listened to the order to get out of the way, and both of them showed that they didn't care, and everyone didn't know who to believe, but Cui Jie was a general after all, and he still subconsciously wanted to listen to him.

There was a lot of controversy in the big tent.

Hu Yanji has another plan, if the prince and the Cui family have been arrested, then what His Majesty lacks most now is the evidence of their rebellion, Cui Jie will judge the situation and will definitely escape from the camp, as long as he escapes, he will be charged with absconding in fear of crime, and then arrest this rebel back, which is justified and a great achievement.

That night, Cui Jie really fled with his cronies, and there was no point in staying, now he had to escape first and then think about it in the long run.

For the sake of his father's safety, Ye Lan did not go with him, but just told him not to look back.

Cui Jie said, "I will definitely come back to you, wait for me." ”

"Everything is about your own safety, don't forget, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are ambitious, go and save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Hu Yanji thought that Cui Jie had fallen for his plan, so he hurriedly chased after him, but found that it was a fake Cui Jie, and the real Cui Jie had fled.

Cui Jie also has the power of the prince in his hands, and at this time, he has to use it when he needs to.

After Cui Jie left, Hu Yanji chased him out, and Ye Lan set off to Zuo Daying to find her father, hoping that he would hide first.
