Chapter 480: Stratagem Duel
Xue Yun wiped the cold sweat on his head, and instructed his followers as he walked,
"Go and call everyone else, let's leave immediately, the sooner the better!"
"Yes, my subordinates will call it."
The entourage went to call, there was not much time, all the entourages with a total of more than ten people gathered, and Xue Yun took them out of the Yan army camp without stopping.
It wasn't until he got into the car and walked on the road to the capital that Xue Yun felt that his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, leaned his upper body out of the carriage, and asked the people who were riding horses and following him,
"Did you send the edicts that the official asked you to quietly distribute to the battalion commanders?"
"There is no ...... in this subordinate"
One of them replied in dismay.
Xue Yun listened and sighed softly, but he also breathed a long sigh of relief and said,
"That's fine, otherwise it was really discovered by King Yan, and we were doing such a thing behind his back, would I be able to go back alive? Since it hasn't been sent, then return it to the official. β
"But, but, my lord......"
The retinue that is closest to him is even more helpless,
"I'll be honest with you, we wanted to do what you said, but we had already put those edicts in the paper bag, but when we tried to get them again in the camps, we couldn't find them, and I don't know when we lost them, and there was not a single one left......
"What?!"
Xue Yun was really taken aback, and almost fell out of the carriage, and hurriedly asked,
"Y-You lost it?! Are you sure that you were still there when you entered the Yan army camp and disappeared after you arrived at each camp? β
"yes,"
These attendants said awkwardly,
"We're really sure that when we go into the camp with you and then we separate, but then, in the blink of an eye, it's gone......"
"In other words, did you leave those edicts in their Yan army camp?!"
Xue Yun's eyes widened.
The attendants look at me, I look at you, and then they all looked at him together, and at the same time nodded and said,
"That's right, that's how it should ......"
"Oh my God, wouldn't that be bad!"
The more Xue Yun thought about it, the more scared he became, if he was really lost in the Yan army camp, that is to say, it was possible to be picked up by anyone in the camp, and it might be picked up by those soldiers and spread it around, maybe it would have the effect of breaking his military morale, but if he was picked up by the people around King Yan and handed it over to His Royal Highness King Yan, then he wouldn't be angry, maybe he would have sent someone to chase and kill him by now......
The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, Xue Rong suddenly yelled,
"Quick! Speed up! Return to the capital at full speed! β
In fact, there is no need for him to be scared like this, if he wants to kill them, will King Yan wait until now, he would have already killed these people.
So, did Zhu Di see the edict written by Fang Xiaoru separately? Of course I saw it, and at the moment when Xue Cheng and the others just walked out of the big tent, these edicts were completely and in front of King Yan, and the person who sent this thick stack of paper was naturally Chai Jingnan......
After accepting the task given by King Yan, Chai Jingnan and Wu Pingwen hid in the shadows, monitoring these so-called "errands" from the capital. Xue Yu took two entourages to see King Yan, but the rest of the entourages did not stay in one place peacefully, but gathered together and muttered something quietly, looking mysterious and even a little sneaky.
Sure enough, it was guessed by the fourth uncle-
Thinking like this in his heart, Chai Jingnan couldn't help but be a little funny.
As a result, one of the attachΓ©s took out a stack of papers from a cloth bag on his back, gestured to the battalions, and did not know what he was saying, and then put it back in the bag and carried it, and the men walked towards one of the large camps.
The two of them knew that it was the camp of Qiu Fu's department, so Chai Jingnan and Wu Pingwen glanced at each other, floated around, Wu Pingwen went around in front of them, deliberately talking to these people, attracting their attention, and Chai Jingnan took the opportunity to pass behind him and took all the edicts in the bag. Later, it can be imagined that it will naturally be "gone".
returned to the Chinese military tent, until Xue Cheng and the others walked out, and the two immediately turned around and entered the tent, Chai Jingnan handed over all the edicts to Zhu Di,
"Fourth Uncle, as you expected, they plan to send these things to the generals of the battalions."
"yes, well done,"
Knowing the skills of the two of them, Zhu Di picked up one of them without asking in detail, looked at it from beginning to end, and then said,
"This Fang Xiaoru's writing is really good, although the edict given to me is full of loopholes, but this one is written rigorously and meticulously, and the persuasiveness is so strong, even the king himself is almost moved by him."
"Fourth Master,"
Zheng He said with some amusement when he heard it,
"Could it be that Fang Xiaoru is a person who plans to use this edict to secretly break the morale of our army?"
"yes, that's right,"
Zhu Di nodded, but he didn't mean to be angry, but smiled,
"It's no wonder how they let me go so easily? If you don't do anything, it's the most suspicious. β
"So, what are you going to do with that guy next?"
Chai Jingnan said a little angrily,
"It's really hateful to be a villain who engages in conspiracy like this, why don't you let me go to the capital and kill him!"
"That's not necessary,"
Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand,
"Since ancient times, soldiers have been fighting wits and courage with each other, and soldiers and treacherous ways are also good, but Jing'er, although you can rest assured, with the other party's little trick, you are not your fourth uncle and my opponent at all. However, judging from his approach, he will definitely break the morale of our army at the same time, and there will also be small military moves. β
Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and shouted outside the tent,
"Someone! Let the heralds come to me! β
"Yes!"
The soldiers who were waiting outside the tent ran to find the herald.
Zhu Di instructed,
"Quickly send orders to the guards along the way, as well as from far and near to report, pay close attention to Sheng Yong, Ping'an and their movements, if you find any abnormal movements, come and report to the lonely king."
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
When the herald left, Zhu Di asked Zheng He to put away those edicts, and told Wu Pingwen and Chai Jingnan to rest casually, and then he stood in front of the terrain map and studied it carefully......
Zhu Di's guess was not wrong at all, Fang Xiaoru's next move was really as he expected.
Let's say that Xue Cheng returned to the capital and first met Fang Xiaoru, and when he asked about the edict sent to the generals, Xue Cheng lied that it had been sent, and then the two went to see Zhu Yunwen together.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to know how the fourth uncle replied, and when he saw Xue Cheng coming back, he asked directly. And Xue Yun always felt that he had a sense of "escaping death" on this trip, so he did not hide it at all, and repeated what Zhu Di said as it was.
