Chapter 352: Snake Head
Yang Xi's unit was indeed ambushed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But the loss of a hundred light cavalry is really not large, at least compared to the results of the attack in the direction of the main force.
Wu Feng's speculation fell through.
The surprise attack was successful, and Constantine XV personally held a celebration banquet, and the imperial capital was jubilant, and morale was restored again.
Although this battle actually did not take the head of a real Tuli League general at all.
Only one thing is not very pleasant.
A veteran named Yang Yunteng, nicknamed "Yang Sanye", was in a raid on the camp of the Hun Zhan Wen Manhuai Division, and he was seriously injured and died after returning to the city.
"Yang Sanye" Yang Yunteng himself is not highly cultivated, and his talent is not outstanding.
Therefore, the position of the head of the Yang family, he had long since given up to his grandson Yang Xi.
But the death of his grandfather made Yang Xi, who had successfully completed the task of doubting soldiers, angry.
He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his grandfather.
The Yang family is known as the Ancient Holy Body Family, and a Holy Body physique will appear every few generations, and it is said to be the sworn enemy and nemesis of the Wen Manhuai family, which is known as the Hegemonic Body Family.
And Yang Xi himself is also a desolate saint physique, and he is also known for his strong physique with the blood of the Heavenly Tyrant.
Knowing that his grandfather died at the hands of Hun Zhan, Yang Xi raised his head to the sky and roared, vowing to cut off the head of Hun Zhan and avenge his grandfather.
Yang Xi, who is only twenty-eight years old, has the cultivation of conquering the heavens and the five heavens, and is good at military affairs, so he is very valued by the two gods of wind and thunder, so he can take charge of himself and lead the suspicious soldiers to pretend to be in the middle of the plan, attract Scurry's troops, and successfully bring the troops back.
In addition to those local leaders, Yang Xi was almost the number three person in the Byzantine military. And those big men are now in the Qinwang army with their own troops, and they don't dare to come over at all.
In addition, to the excitement of Constantine XV, this robbery of the camp seems to have seized some important documents.
He hurriedly ordered the documents to be opened, hoping to find information that would destroy the enemy.
But when he saw the contents, Constantine XV couldn't get excited.
Even the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who had sighted or might have glanced at the documents were secretly executed, and then, Constantine XV urgently summoned the five important ministers and Wu Feng into the palace.
"Look at it. "Constantine XV's face was gloomy.
A cabinet of letters, shocking.
It's all an oath written to Scurry by the nobles and generals of Constantinople!
They promised to do their best to find an opportunity to sacrifice the city, on the condition that Curry would preserve their family after the city was breached.
That's what I guessed.
Wu Feng said silently in his heart.
"If these are true...... "Deputy Prime Minister Pu Chaojun looked terrified.
"Even if it's all true, it can't wash everyone away. Prime Minister Lan Jing kept his composure: "I'll send someone to investigate." ”
Indeed, with so many people, if their families were cleansed, then the hearts of the people inside Junbao would completely collapse.
But the faces of Constantine XV and the five great ministers were not good-looking.
Because they knew the handwriting of certain nobles, as well as the private seals of their families.
If the handwriting can be imitated, then it is difficult to steal such a thing as a private seal.
However, there are many stamps on these letters, and they do not appear to be forgeries.
Each family's private seal has its own anti-counterfeiting imprint, which is extremely difficult to forge.
"I'd rather I hadn't seen any of these things!" Patriarch Cade sighed.
Everyone looked at each other and was speechless.
yes, maybe it's better to know than not to know.
"There should be a part of it that Scurry faked. Duke Thor spoke: "However, we seem to have fallen for the trick again, this time it is the fault of the old minister." ”
Scurry deliberately let them see the documents.
The heart is already in turmoil, how can Constantine XV and the five important ministers not play abnormally?
As long as some of them are true, people will be desperate to find the real traitors, or else they will feel like the city is also in danger.
When the people around you can't be trusted, what are you talking about defending the city?
"King Bogard is right, we used to underestimate that old dog. The Marquis of the Wind God said helplessly.
......
At the same time, the Turki military camp tent.
Hun Zhan respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this deliberate defeat? We can obviously inflict a heavy blow on the most elite troops of Byzantium......
Scurry just took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly, "Of course you can, but it doesn't mean much." ”
Hun Zhan fell silent and didn't ask why.
"What the two gods of wind and thunder are best at is not fighting, but fleeing for their lives. Scurry tapped his index finger on the table and commented leisurely, "But not just run for your life, but with their soldiers." ”
Scurry's second son, Bayesette, said with a smile: "So, instead of annihilating hundreds of soldiers, it is better to make a fuss from the hearts of the people, which is also my father's style." ”
Scurry gulped down the coffee in his mouth.
"Hun Zhan, when will you be able to understand this before you can become a wise general like Gui Yuancheng...... Now you, unfortunately, can only be limited to the level of a brave general. ”
The blood of the sky has always been extremely unruly.
But Hun Zhan hung his head and accepted Scurry's criticism in awe.
"The last general understands, thank you for mentioning it!"
"Well, the next move will soon begin...... "Scurry exhaled a hot breath and inhaled it lightly, filling his mouth with a cool mouth.
As if sucking the entire Byzantine Empire into the mouth.
......
In the secret hall of the Byzantine royal palace, there was a long silence.
There was nothing they could do.
It's no wonder that Scurry is still leisurely besieging the city when Bogard has already sent troops to attack Syria and burn and loot his territory.
With so many internal responses, he is probably full of confidence in the capture of Constantinople.
And everyone present, in his opinion, is just a turtle in an urn!
"This old dog ......," Deputy Prime Minister Pu Chaojun gritted his teeth and scolded.
"No, just a mouthful of an old dog won't solve the problem. Wu Feng, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.
Pu Chaojun was very annoyed by Wu Feng's words.
This envoy was sent by Bogard, but he never offered any effective strategy, and he dared to put up a fight in front of him like this!
"If you have anything to say, just say it! I don't believe you have a strategy to break the enemy!" Pu Chaojun seemed to be flustered.
"It's not necessarily a way to break the enemy, but I know that even if it's true, it's just a drizzle, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
As soon as Wu Feng's words came out, everyone was shocked.
So many nobles collaborated with the enemy, it turned out to be just a drizzle?
Constantine XV also looked at the monster with a look in his eyes.
Could it be that the envoy whom Bogard valued so much was in fact just a madman?
Wu Feng smiled calmly: "To solve the problem, you have to outline it." These aristocrats who collaborated with the enemy, since according to the analysis of the Grand Duke of Thor, are true and false, and they are to disturb our hearts. ”
"So, isn't Scurry worried that we'll be executed after we've found out all of his true details through torture?"
"And how did these false letters come about? I'm on the list, but I don't see a real central figure in the Empire!"
Pivotal figure in the Empire.
When everyone heard these six words, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they realized something.
Yes, without a single central figure in the empire to pull the strings in it, how can all the traitors be coordinated so that the powerful surveillance network in Constantinople is unaware?
Wu Feng paused and said something earth-shattering.
"Scurry's fine net, there must be a snake head, this snake head has the ability to steal the seals of other families, so he has created so many false letters. As long as this snake head is caught, the entire traitor chain can be caught......"
"On the contrary, if we choose to follow the list of purges, we will definitely kill Zhongliang in vain and destroy the Great Wall. If you struggle to judge the truth or falsehood, you will also mess up your position and waste your energy. ”
Constantine XV's complexion became more serious.
"So, this snakehead...... How high should it be?"
"At least a retainer like Earl Fair's father, the Marquis of Kirin, can do that. Wu Feng said resolutely: "But what I'm most afraid of is ......"
Everyone was shocked.
But Fengshen still said the rest of the words: "Of course Your Majesty will not be a snakehead, Tian Chang's envoy has not been here for long, and he lacks a network in the city, so it can also be ruled out." Then the head of the snake may be among the five of us at all. (To be continued.) )
