Chapter 433: Double Agent
In the camp of the Han Mission, Chen Shilai glanced out from time to time.
Ye Yunyang asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Shilai replied: "I don't know if King Bai Di can return victorious, he will attack with 200,000 troops, so it will cause some trouble for the Qin army." ”
Ye Yunyang smiled: "I don't think so." ”
"How so?"
Ye Yunyang smiled and said nothing, meaning wait and see, you will know in a while.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of the army moving was heard outside, and Chen Shilai rushed out of the tent directly.
A few minutes later, he returned to the tent with a disappointed face and said, "How can this be, 200,000 horses and horses have come back intact, didn't they go to attack the grain and grass camp, did they not find the right position, resulting in a futile return?"
"It's not that I didn't find it, but I didn't dare to rush over. Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, King Bai Di must have noticed that the Qin army was in ambush, so he returned with his subordinates in advance." ”
"Is there really an ambush?" asked Chen Shilai again.
He said very meaningfully: "The matter has come to this, even if there is none, King Bai Di will insist that there is, and there is no meaning in itself." ”
Lu Xun had a smug expression on his face, and what he thought in his heart was that if he was replaced by someone else to lead the troops, he would have foolishly fallen into the enemy's trap, and he brought back the 200,000 troops intact.
The clansmen praised him, and in the midst of countless sycophants, he came to Ye Yunyang's big tent, arched his hand and said, "Thank you Wu Yinghou for reminding me, Xiao Wang is grateful." ”
Ye Yunyang waved his hand: "Ben Hou just informed King Bai Di of the possible situation, and it was the commander who made the decision on the battlefield. ”
Lu Xun turned around and shouted: "In order to celebrate the safe return of the army, a banquet will be held in the king's tent tonight to entertain the generals." ”
He turned his head: "Please Wu Yinghou must appreciate his face." ”
Ye Yunyang refused: "I'm sorry, Ben Hou has already made arrangements for the evening." ”
How did Lu Xuan know that there were only 30,000 defenders in the Ghost Face Army's grain and grass battalion, and most of them were second-line troops transporting baggage, plus some recruits who had just been replenished, and their combat effectiveness was very low, not to mention facing an army of 200,000, even if it was 30,000 against 30,000, they would definitely be defeated.
This is a trick played by the ghost-faced horse, the war is in a stalemate, he really can't draw up extra manpower, in order to ensure the hard-won advantage on the front line, he really can't take care of the grain and grass camp.
But the importance of grain and grass cannot be ignored, so he joined Ye Yunyang, and the father and son joined forces to dig a pit for Lu Xuan.
First of all, Ye Yunyang's inaccurate information, coupled with the fact that this matter was fraudulent, planted a seed of suspicion in Lu Xun's heart.
Then, the outstanding performance of the patrol team, coupled with the orderly order in the camp, the calmness of the Qin army made Lu Xun involuntarily think too much, and firmly believed that it was a trap.
At the same time, because the Qin army did not draw manpower from the front, the advantage continued to expand, and the alliance of the three major clans was under great pressure, coupled with the lack of food and grass, and was on the verge of defeat.
Knowing that the enemy's grain and grass camp had not been plundered, Chi Rong was angry and scolded Lu Xun for being a coward, such a God-given opportunity, he actually watched it slip away.
Just when Lu Xuan invited his generals to drink celebratory wine, the Ghost Face Army launched a counterattack on all fronts, and the coalition army was defeated.
Under the command of the Ghost-Faced Horse, the coalition forces were divided and surrounded in several different areas, and although they tried their best to resist and break through, they had little success.
In particular, the dozen or so small tribes, after being surrounded, fought on their own, because they could not concentrate their forces to attack a little, their strength was greatly reduced, and they were finally completely annihilated.
The three major clans succeeded in breaking through one after another, but countless people were killed and captured.
The three tribal kings each led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to the garrison, and after collecting the remnants, they found that less than half of the original million army was now left.
The Bai Di people, who chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, unknowingly became the largest tribe in Rongdi, and after learning the news, Lu Xun couldn't close his mouth happily.
has been the second millennium for so long, and finally has a chance to turn over, although it is not by virtue of his strength, but at least no one dares to give orders to him in the future, but depends on his face and deeds.
Since they were not attacked, the remnants of the tribes came to Bai Di one after another, and the Lan Di people, who had lost ninety percent of their male men, moved with their families and came here to ask the king of Bai Di to take them in.
In the face of the great opportunity to expand the population, of course Lu Xuan will not refuse, on the one hand, he accepts people who come to take refuge, and on the other hand, he sends ** to publicize it, saying that Bai Di has food and drink, and everyone is welcome to take refuge.
Ye Yunyang was not idle, and asked Chen Shilai to select dozens of soldiers with smart brains and clever mouths, and secretly contact the generals who surrendered to the army.
These guys are poorer than the Baidi people, and the king of Baidi only cares about their full food at most, so they are very easy to be bribed.
For a small amount of money, the people sent by Chen Shilai gathered dozens of generals and 50,000 troops in their hands.
These people are loyal to Lu Xun on the surface, but they are actually obeying Ye Yunyang's orders.
Lu Xuan didn't know anything about this, and his main focus was on receiving the remnants of the army, staring at the changes in the total number of troops every day, and being indifferent to other things.
At this time, Bai Di's total strength had exceeded 300,000, and he had the potential to catch up with and surpass the first tribe at that time, Chirong.
The three major clans have nothing to do about it, although they are also gathering the remnants of the army, but on the one hand, there is wine, meat and women, and it is very safe, on the other side is lack of food and clothing, and the Qin army may fight at any time, as long as it is not a person with brain problems, they will choose the former.
......
Camp of the Commander of the Ghostface Legion.
The Ghost-Faced Horse couple is hosting a large celebration feast to celebrate the battle that has been defeated the most enemies since the war with Rong Di.
In this battle, a total of more than 300,000 enemies were destroyed, nearly 200,000 prisoners were captured, and about half of the Rongdi land was occupied.
The generals drank and talked about what had happened in the battle, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Ying Qi walked in from the outside, quietly walked around the side behind the ghost-faced horse, and said close to his ear: "It has been found out, Wang Weichao not only sent confidential information to Dahan, but also directly delivered the news to our Emperor Majesty. ”
The ghost-faced pony frowned, but he didn't expect that guy to be a double agent, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the others?"
"Just came back from the front, and in a moment it will be here. Ying Qi whispered.
The horse nodded: "You instructed the soldiers who sent the wine to add some ingredients to Wang Weichao's wine, so that they didn't know it." ”
"Understood!"
Ten minutes later, Wang Weichao, dressed in military uniform, came to the big tent, and the brothers saw that he was late, and asked for a penalty for drinking.
The ghost-faced horse agreed, and Wang Weichao could only do so, and drank three bowls of wine in a row.
This was just the beginning, and at the purging of the colt, everyone took turns toasting and clinking glasses with him, and before long he was drunk and unconscious.
The ghost-faced colt ordered someone to carry him out so that he could be taken care of.
The moon is like a hook, and the night is ink.
Wang Weichao, who was asleep, smelled a sour smell, and immediately opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was tied to the pillar by the five flowers, and he couldn't lift the slightest bit of mystery.
He blinked vigorously a few times, and the scene in front of him became clear.
"Yingqi, what are you kidding?" he asked Yingqi, who was standing opposite.
Ying Qi is holding a small bottle in her hand, which contains hangover water, and you only need to smell it, and the drunk person will instantly regain its freshness.
"What am I going to do, I should ask you this question. Ying Qi put away the bottle and looked the other party in the eyes: "General Wang, don't you want to say something?"
Wang Weichao's heart had already risen to his throat, but he still remained calm, and said with a smile: "Princess, don't make trouble, this is a military camp, don't play pranks, let me go!"
Ying Qi said very meaningfully: "If it's a prank, can you use your Xuan power?"
Cold sweat appeared on Wang Weichao's forehead, thinking that his identity would not be exposed, right?
Although Ying Qi is the princess of Daqin, and she is favored by the ghost-faced horse and Princess Luo Yue, this is a military camp, and she does not dare to do anything wrong.
If it weren't for the order of the Ghost-faced Horse or Princess Luo Yue, with the position she was holding now, how could she dare to attack someone at the level of the main general.
"Princess, what the hell is going on?" Wang Weichao felt that he had to continue to pretend to be stupid before the matter was clarified.
A neutral voice sounded: "I'll tell you why." ”
The voice fell, and the ghost-faced horse and Princess Luo Yue walked in together, Wang Weichao only had a dry smile on his face, and he was terrified to the extreme.
The ghost-faced colt stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed, "Wei Chao, you've been following me for nine years, haven't you?"
Wang Weichao replied: "Nine years and four months." ”
The time that Ye Feng became a ghost-faced colt was only in his early ten years, which means that Wang Weichao was definitely the first batch of people to follow him, earlier than another hardcore Lu Zishuo.
In the past nine years, Wang Weichao has been promoted from an unknown captain to a general in charge of tens of thousands of horses, and his cultivation has also been promoted from the Xiuyuan Realm to the Tongyuan Realm.
These achievements were all given to him by the ghost-faced colt.
"I remember it so clearly. The ghost-faced concubine smiled: "I'm very puzzled, you are originally a Han Chinese, it's not strange to be a spy in Daqin, it's strange that you can work for the emperors of the two countries at the same time and directly pass confidential information to them, how did you do it?"
He remembered very well that when he first met Wang Weichao, the other party was facing forced retirement by the army, how could such a guy with no background and no qualifications gain the trust of the two emperors.
Wang Weichao's face was as white as paper, and it seemed that his identity was really exposed.
Seeing that he was silent, Princess Luo Yue spoke: "What, don't you want to say it? For the sake of our relationship for many years, this princess and the concubine specially saved your face and brought you here for questioning, instead of announcing your identity as a spy in public." ”
Wang Weichao smiled bitterly: "Thank you two, you are so thoughtful, the matter has come to this, and I have nothing to hide." I admit that I am indeed a Han Chinese, and I was sent undercover to Daqin more than 20 years ago to accept the direct leadership of the Han Emperor. Because of personality reasons, I didn't get mixed up in the Qin army, and I thought I was going to go back to the Han Dynasty, but I suddenly received a secret order from the Qin Emperor, and under his arrangement, I successfully became the confidant of Lord Concubine. ”
"It's that simple?" asked the ghost-faced colt.
Wang Weichao nodded: "It's as simple as that! I really don't know whether I should feel honored or sad to be favored by the emperors of the two countries, maybe it's just because I'm lucky." After gaining the trust of Lord Concubine, whether it is Emperor Qin or Emperor Han, they all attach great importance to me, my task, in addition to spying on all kinds of information about your couple, the most important point is to monitor you, of course, this is the mission of Emperor Qin, and it has nothing to do with Emperor Han. ”
Princess Luo Yue's face sank like water, she didn't expect her younger brother, who usually put the word trust on her lips, to send someone to spy on her.
