Chapter 58: Deliverance (1)
Wu Zhenming sent several light cavalry teams to investigate first, and sure enough, he found some clues. They were afraid that Yang Zhaoquan would be in danger, so they immediately marched for days, and followed the direction of the traces, and set the destination in Wenliang City.
The camp was set up in a secret place not far from Wenliang City, and Wu Zhenming specially instructed him to act cautiously and not to startle snakes.
Although Yanchang had never fought with the marching army, he also understood Wu Zhenming's intentions.
The northern cities, in order to resist foreign enemies, have always been built with high walls and thick walls, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Just a team of 1,000 people, let alone a siege, even shouting a battle is not enough to see.
Their purpose is to get people out, not to occupy Wenliang City, and the key to this mission is to act secretly and quickly.
Since Yanchang arrived in Wu Zhenming's team, he followed all the instructions, he had no actual battlefield experience, and his ability to explore the road was not professional enough, so he only marched with the army like an ordinary soldier.
But seeing that Wen Liangcheng was in front of him, and the task of taking Lang Jun back was close at hand, he couldn't bear the itching of his hands, so he still stood outside the tent, wanting Wu Zhenming to send himself an important job so that he could redeem his crimes.
After a few sounds, the people in the tent allowed him to enter, and Yanchang sweated nervously on his forehead, and almost entered the tent with his hands and feet.
"What are you doing here?"
Yanchang didn't dare to look at Wu Zhenming's face, so he could only bite the bullet and say his demands.
The endless running and toiling made Wu Zhenming's already well-defined face a little thinner, and the deep "Sichuan" character pattern on his eyebrows made him look several years older, although he was the same generation as Yanchang, but it added a prestige.
Before Yanchang came, he was listening to the news from the informant in Liangcheng, and the situation was not bad from what he imagined.
Although Lao Xiangguo regards the south as his backing, it does not mean that he has no power in the north, otherwise it will be difficult for him to stumble Yang Zhaoquan in the northern army.
In this Wenliang city, there is the power of the old Xiangguo, so it cannot be attacked, but can only be outwitted.
Originally, the saint secretly arranged, the Yang family's personal guards and years of accumulation, were scattered in the northern towns, but this manpower is far from enough, after taking back Yang Zhaoquan, he will unite all ethnic groups in the north, first secretly clean up dissidents in the north, and then go south to clear the rebellion.
You must know that Yang Zhaoquan fought in northern Xinjiang, and he was not an enemy of all ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang. Where there is an enemy, there is a friend, and where there is war, there is peace.
He already has the blood of the Baidi tribe, has a diplomatic advantage over ordinary Yin people, and is often in the north, and has his own foreign connections, and the emperor has a better chance of winning if he comes forward to unite, which is why the emperor is both jealous and important to him.
Now that others are in the sphere of influence of the old Xiangguo, their own wings have not yet been achieved, and it is really unwise to attack rashly.
Wu Zhenming planned to send a team into the city to rescue people, leaving some people to answer outside the city, and Yanchang was in his heart, originally belonged to the part of "responding", but now looking at his anxious appearance, Wu Zhenming knew that he couldn't sit still.
He weighed Yanchang's skills in his heart, and finally reluctantly put him into the quota of "entering the city".
The skill is one, Wu Zhenming has another reason for keeping Yanchang, he gets along with the other two guards day and night, and must have memorized their appearance and form, if they are still alive, they must be in the same place with Yang Zhaoquan, and after entering the city, they can be regarded as one more source of information.
At night, Wu Zhenming personally went into battle, and sneaked into the city from the weak place of the guards with the selected people who entered the city. Wenliang City had a strict curfew at night, and they avoided the city defenders and weaved through the narrow alleys.
Rao is Yanchang is extremely physical, and he is also a little out of breath, and when the team stops, he has time to look around the surroundings.
The edge of the stone slab beneath his feet was flat, and in the moonlight, the surrounding houses, though not grandiose and tall, were not grass huts or the like. The sound of cicadas chirping, this monotonous and boring sound, but the night is unusually quiet.
Before leaving, the team leader told him that the informant came to report that a Gan family had suddenly moved to Wenliang City recently, and the Gan family was just a small rich family, and it had never made any big splashes, but somehow, Wu Zhenming insisted on checking it.
According to the previous arrangement, Wu Zhenming left someone outside to take care of him, took Yanchang and another person into Ganfu, turned around, and stopped behind a house.
"Who else can find the woman here? Isn't it the Qin family. A man's voice came slowly.
He didn't leave this woman behind, and he didn't follow her, so what else was Wen'er worried about? The dew husband and wife, you have been by his side for a long time, and you have been in love for a long time, how can that woman compare? … This location... I was meant to ...... with you."
The woman's faint sobs rang out from time to time, and the man gently soothed him, his voice quieter, and some of them were inaudible.
Wu Zhenming heard these three words, and his heart was more determined.
The inner line in the army was secretly arrested, tortured, and finally confessed that the Gan family was in the rear. The Yingchuan Hou Gan family has been loyal to the Holy Lord for generations, and no one would have thought that they would also end up.
As soon as this confession came out, the upper authorities immediately destroyed the witnesses and blocked the information, although the clues were broken, the Gan family would find out sooner or later that they had exposed their feet, but the above meaning was that it was a moment to conceal it, and it was not possible to uncover this layer of skin at the moment.
The origin of the inside line is only known to the high-level officials involved in the interrogation, and it is because of this that Wu Zhenming identified the Gan family.
