Chapter 256: Seeing Through the Deception
Song Shen's body was crooked, he collapsed on the ground in fright, waved his hand again and again, and his voice trembled, "Your Majesty is wronged, we, we don't know, our two brothers are true, indeed, it is indeed General Dingyuan......"
Yun Huang gritted his teeth, "If you don't tell the truth, the heads of the two of you will definitely hang high above the city tower in the next moment!" ”
When Song Shen heard this, he didn't dare to say anything again.
Song Chen wiped his sweat beads and said, "I, we...... We know ...... wrong."
When Song Zhiming heard this, he was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him over, "Slandering the marshal before the war and shaking the morale of the army is not punishable!" Come on, take it! ”
The four guards stepped forward to tie up Song Chen and Song Shen respectively.
Chen Zhendong looked at Yunhuang gratefully, clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust." ”
Yun Huang said: "The widow has already told the imperial brother that the suspect does not need to be suspicious, the widow believes you, you should also believe the widow, why didn't you defend yourself just now?" ”
Chen Zhendong smiled bitterly, "If Your Majesty believes in the last general, the last general does not have to defend himself. If Your Majesty does not believe it, no amount of justification will be an attempt to cover it up. ”
Yun Huang looked at Song Zhiming, "General Song, interrogate these two people carefully to see who they are instructed by and what they want. As for the man on the flagpole below, the widow thought it was not General Wang. ”
As soon as Yunhuang said this, Chen Zhendong, Song Zhiming, and even Song Chen and Song Shen were stunned.
Yun Huang said: "The widow has been deceived by others, and he knows that superb disguise techniques can confuse the real with the fake. The widow just thinks that with General Wang's wisdom, he will definitely not be easily plotted, if he dies in vain like this, then General Wang is really in vain, and it is not a pity to die. ”
"But General Wang's whereabouts are unknown." Chen Zhendong said, "I searched all over the army last night, and the corpses on the battlefield were identified one by one, and there was no him." ”
"It's a good thing that there isn't, it means that General Wang is still alive." Yun Huang said, "Song Chen and Song Shen took advantage of General Wang's disappearance to make a big fuss, once this divisive plan succeeds, our army will be defeated without a fight...... Song Chen, Song Shen, you really have a way to the dark. ”
Song Chen and Song Shen were sweating like rain, and they were already so frightened that they couldn't speak.
Song Zhiming ordered the two to be dragged down the city tower and detained pending trial.
Chen Zhendong sighed, "Your Majesty, the Chu army has not moved at all so far, and it seems that it will not attack, and the last general wants to lead his troops out of the city to visit one or two." ”
Yun Huang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "No need, no matter what conspiracy Han Qingyong is thinking about, we just need to brake quietly and strike later." If he doesn't send troops, we will wait for work at ease and give orders to go down, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the soldiers will eat and sleep well and rest for a day! ”
"Take a day off? In the event of a sudden attack by the Chu army, our army rushed to the battle, fearing heavy casualties. ”
Song Zhiming said worriedly.
Yun Huang smiled faintly, "Han Qingyong gave up time for the Song Chen brothers to use a divisive strategy, otherwise why would they not be able to move until now?" How did he know that he could miscalculate? It just so happens that you are also tired for the past two days, so hurry back and rest. The widow slept soundly last night, and he is here today. ”
Song Zhiming and Chen Zhendong repeatedly refused, but in the end they couldn't resist Yunhuang, so they had to be ordered to retreat from the city tower.
Song Zhiming hugged his fists at Chen Zhendong and said: "General Dingyuan, I offended a lot just now, I am really a great enemy, and I need to be careful in everything." ”
Chen Zhendong returned the salute: "General Song understands the righteousness and helps our army with all his might, and the general can only be grateful to the general." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, shook hands and made peace, and sympathized with each other.
Song Chen and Song Shen saw that not only did the divisive plan fail, but it made the three of them more united, and they were depressed one by one.
Song Zhiming stepped forward and kicked the two of them, "Shameless villain, planting blame, telling right and wrong, don't tell the truth to Lao Tzu for a while, Lao Tzu wants your dog's life!" ”
Chen Zhendong: "Then there is General Lao Song." ”
Song Zhiming: "Don't worry, General Ben will definitely judge him." ”
After speaking, Song Zhiming escorted Song Chen and Song Shen away.
Chen Zhendong looked back at the high city tower, looked at Yunhuang's back, a smile on his lips, and muttered: "Imperial sister, the imperial brother will definitely not disappoint you." ”
Yun Huang didn't know what kind of reward her trust would bring her in the future, she looked at the heads on the flagpole on the square field, and secretly thought, "General Wang, be careful in everything, I hope you will return as soon as possible!" ”
At this moment, Wang Yan had successfully figured out the location of the Chu army's armory......
Ten years of retirement, the humble did not dare to forget the country, and now he has to meet the master, Wang Yan has always wanted to do something to make up for his previous regrets.
Yesterday, when the two armies faced the enemy, he killed a temporary Chu soldier behind a mountain rock on the side of the field, and he had a plan, changed his armor with the Chu soldiers, and mixed in with the Chu soldiers when they retreated in confusion.
The armory was heavily guarded, and it was difficult to sneak in, and he was trying to figure out a way when he saw Yan Baoyu leading two Chu soldiers over.
Wang Yan recognized Yan Baoyu, Yan Baoyu looked like Yan Qiong, when he was young, Wang Yan saw him twice; Yan Baoyu didn't recognize him.
Wang Yan stepped forward and called him in a low voice, "General Yan!" ”
Yan Baoyu stood still when he heard this, looking at him in confusion.
Wang Yan is neither humble nor arrogant, he is serious, "General Yan, the villain was sent by General Yan to take care of you, if you have any important matters, you can let the villain do it." ”
Yan Baoyu believed that it was true, there were very few Chu soldiers in the Chu army who knew his father's name, and said happily at the moment: "Let's go, go to the armory with this king first, tonight, we are going to do something earth-shattering." ”
Wang Yan was overjoyed, but his face was silent, and he followed Yan Baoyu to the armory......
As Yun Huang expected, until the night fell, darkness gradually covered the land, and the Chu army did not attack.
The officers and men rested for the day, had dinner in the evening, and were all in good spirits.
The wind rose in the middle of the night, and it was cool.
Yunhuang stood at the head of the city, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance like a lurking giant beast in the night, and said to Song Zhiming who was standing aside: "General Song, there will be a tragic confrontation tonight. ”
Song Zhiming saw that Yun Huang had a pair of jade phoenix hairpins in his palm.
Song Zhiming said with a solemn expression: "Why did the queen say this? The last general is in the city, and the queen will not be allowed to make any mistakes. If not, how could the last general dare to take this pair of jade hairpins back to his life? The queen hurriedly put it away, and didn't say something unlucky. ”
Yun Huang smiled and put the pair of jade phoenix hairpins in Song Zhiming's hands, "Then ask General Song to help the widow temporarily keep it, and then return it to the widow." ”
Song Zhiming was just about to dodge, when he suddenly saw a group of big birds flying closer and closer from a distance in the deep sky behind Yunhuang, and the scene was strange.
"How did you get a flock of birds? Bringing game to the army? ”
Song Zhiming looked puzzled and muttered to himself.
