Chapter Forty-Seven: Escape from Death

In Yan'an Mansion, Governor Wei Xue was talking to Mei Guozhen, the supervising army.

The day after Du Wenlin's departure, Mei Guozhen told him the plan.

Although Wei Xuezeng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, if this plan was successful, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble.

At this time, the two of them were still worried about Du Wenlin, but he walked in in a hurry, and everyone knew that it was worth the trip when they saw his expression.

Du Wenlin recounted the trip in detail.

After hearing this, the two of them were overjoyed.

The rebels are all battle-hardened veterans, and the city of Ningxia is exceptionally strong, so the Ming Dynasty army suppressed bandits for more than three months but gained little.

If they can dismantle their combination from within, victory is in sight.

The plan is indeed good, but unfortunately it is not from Wei Xuezeng's hand, which makes him feel disgraced.

After pondering for a while, he said leisurely:

"Bi Bai and Liu Dongyang are both extremely cunning people, where can they be confused by such a small skill of carving insects. If you don't get it right, not only will it not succeed, but it is very likely that it will be taken advantage of by it, and it will skillfully deal with the imperial army and delay the warplane. When winter came, the roads were closed by heavy snow, and it was difficult to replenish supplies. Won't it be too late to regret it? ”

He has been supervising the army here since February, and he has been here for more than three months, losing troops and losing his generals, but the bandits are growing stronger and stronger, and they do not seriously reflect on their mistakes, but they are afraid of being robbed of merit by others, this kind of behavior makes Mei Guozhen extremely dissatisfied. Then he said coldly:

"It's only the beginning of May at this time, and there are nearly five months left before winter, if we can't put down the rebels during this period, how can I have the face to go back to the emperor?"

"It seems that five months is not a short time, but in fact, it is like a white horse passing through a gap, and it is fleeting. As the governor of this counterinsurgency, I cannot afford to take the risk of letting the warplanes pass away. ”

Mei Guozhen really couldn't hold back his anger, and said sarcastically:

"Lord Wei has been supervising the war here for more than three months, is it possible that there will not be the slightest fighter during this period?"

Wei Xuezeng's old face turned red, he wanted to be sarcastic, opened his mouth, endured it again, his face was cold, and he was silent.

Mei Guozhen's tone softened a little:

"Since Lord Wei has misgivings, we might as well go both. On the one hand, we are actively preparing for war, and on the other hand, we are promoting this plan. This is also true. ”

"Whatever you want." Governor Wei reluctantly.

Back at the Prison Army's Mansion, Mei Jianjun was still angry in his heart, and reached out to pick up the tea bowl on the table and smashed it:

"I have no talent, and I am so small-bellied, how can I be a general? It is no wonder that the counterinsurgency has not only failed to achieve a single success, but has made the rebel forces stronger and stronger. ”

Du Wenlin, who was standing next to him, said cautiously:

"Governor Wei has a good foundation of public opinion in the trilateral land, and he never oppresses and loots the people, but it is a pity that the overseer's war is his weakness."

"Hmph, he only cares about his own incorruptibility, and ignores the safety of the community, if he is allowed to continue, he may become an uncontrollable situation."

As he spoke, he sat down to revise the book, and finished in a moment:

"Today, I will go to the emperor and replace him."

Du Wenlin knew that Wei Xuezeng should be regarded as a rare good official in the imperial court, no matter where he was an official over the years, he was very good to the local people, and the people loved him very much.

But what about it? When it comes to the survival of society, his indecision has become his fatal weakness.

With a long sigh, he walked out silently.

I haven't seen each other for two days, and Wang Ling and Rong'er are so excited that they burst into tears when they see Du Wenlin like relatives after a long absence.

Rong'er suddenly got into Du Wenlin's arms:

"I ran away secretly, and I didn't say a word to us, I'm worried about death!"

Wang Ling was crying and beating his back vigorously:

"If something happens to you, what can you tell us to do?"

Du Wenlin looked at the true feelings of the two girls, and his eyes were a little moist.

Holding the hands of the two girls vigorously:

"Because there are people here who care about me, even if there is great difficulty, I will come back."

Wang Ling stretched out his hand and wiped his tears:

"No matter what mission you go out on in the future, you must take me with you."

Du Wenlin smiled gratefully, and said in his heart: This is a dangerous battlefield, how can I let a girl set foot in a dangerous place.

The "Desert Zerg" and "Night Clan" have all appeared here, making the situation even more complicated and dangerous.

Not only do you have to deal with the enemies on the frontal battlefield, but you also have to watch out for the assassinations of these top masters. They don't know where or when they're going to pop up, and it's hard to be caught off guard.

At the beginning of June, Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, Ma Gui, the chief soldier of Ningxia, and Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Gansu, gradually gathered around Yan'an City with their troops.

Li Rusong's main force is the Northeast Frontier Army he brought from Liaodong, Ma Gui's main force is the Miao soldiers recruited when he was the chief soldier in Yungui, and Ye Mengxiong's main force is the Northwest Army defending the border fortress.

Mei Guozhen, as the overseer, had the right to ask the governor Wei Xuezeng to order an attack on the rebels, but no matter how Li Rusong asked for war, he always kept silent.

However, Wei Xuezeng continued to grind and struggle, claiming that if he launched a large-scale attack, it would inevitably cause misery and bring disaster to the local people.

We should look for opportunities to appease and surrender.

Li Rusong, who was so angry and irritable, jumped and scolded his mother.

Du Wenlin privately begged Mei Guozhen to allow him to go to Ningxia City again to continue to promote the implementation of the discord plan.

However, Mei Guozhen said that the time was not ripe, so don't be impatient.

Du Wenlin was confused, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

In mid-June, I finally waited for the news from the imperial court.

A team of Jinyi guards came to Yan'an City and read out the emperor's holy decree, because Wei Xuezeng hesitated, the command failed, and repeatedly delayed the fighter, causing the rebels to become bigger. He was dismissed from the post of governor of Wei Xuezeng and immediately sent to the capital to punish the crime. Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Gansu Province, was the governor of the anti-bandit army, and he must exterminate all the rebels before the arrival of winter.

Du Wenlin finally understood what Mei Guozhen was waiting for, and he was waiting for the emperor's will.

Wei Xuezeng was in tears, claiming that since he became an official, he has been conscientious and conscientious, working hard for the society all the time, and seeking benefits for the people, but who knew that he ended up like this.

Everyone knows who he is, and everyone feels sorry for him.

Mei Guozhen also sighed.

As the old saying goes, Ci is not in charge of the army, and with Wei Xuezeng's character, he is very competent as an official in peacetime, but it is a pity that he sits in the wrong position.

Mei Guozhen wrote another recital, and the recital helped him say a lot of good things.

Watching the prisoner car disappear into the billowing yellow dust, everyone was gloomy.

Governor Ye Mengxiong asked Mei Guozhen when he would start a full-scale attack.

Mei Guozhen recounted to him the discord plan that had begun to be implemented.

"I want to send Lord Du to Ningxia City again today to promote the implementation of this plan, and if it fails, then launch an attack within half a month, what do you think?"

Ye Mengxiong agreed.

At midnight, Du Wenlin quietly rode out of the barracks and galloped northwest.

The desert under the moonlit night, covered in silver, glows with a different kind of poignancy.

The road ahead curves through two sand dunes, and this road has been walked once, and after crossing the dunes, there is a flat river in front of it.

The high sand dunes cast a shadow on the road, and the road was much darker.

Du Wenlin suddenly had an ominous premonition, the last time he passed by here, he didn't have such a strange feeling.

He reached out and pulled the dagger from his bosom, speeding through it as he watched warily at the dunes on either side.

Suddenly, the sand dunes burst open, and several dark yellow figures flew out of the sand, and the dagger with a cold light instantly attacked in front of Du Wenlin.

For them, Du Wenlin was too familiar, the "Desert Zerg" had fought with him not once or twice, and each time they didn't get a good deal.

Du Wenlin slammed his stirrup on the tip of his toe, like a goshawk rising into the sky, and the first wave of attacks of the man in yellow failed.

In mid-air, Du Wenlin turned around, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the back of a man in yellow like lightning.

The man in yellow missed a blow and was about to adjust the direction of his attack, but the speed of Du Wenlin's downward attack was too fast, and before he could react, the sharp dagger had already been deeply inserted into his heart.

With a muffled snort, the corpse fell heavily to the ground, and died of exhaustion.

The rest of the "bugs" remained silent and began the second round of attacks.

One of the six "bugs" was killed, and five remained.

A few months ago, Du Wenlin's skills were not as strong as they are now, so fashionable and not afraid of them, and tonight.

In the blink of an eye, two more "bugs" were sealed.

Du Wenlin was about to end the battle in one go, when suddenly a golden figure soared from behind the sand dunes, shooting straight towards Du Wenlin at a rapid speed, the golden clothes on his body shone dazzlingly in the moonlight, and the dagger in his hand stabbed Du Wenlin's throat in the blink of an eye.

Du Wenlin has been against the enemy many times, and he has never been surprised and panicked now.

It was the fastest form he'd ever seen, faster than lightning, so fast that it didn't even have time to react.

In a hurry, I didn't have time to think about it, I fell on my back suddenly, and the moment I fell to the ground, I rolled out quickly.

An indecent "lazy donkey rolling" can dodge the attack of the man in gold.

The golden-clothed man followed closely, his body turned into a golden light, and he attacked Du Wenlin from top to bottom.

Du Wenlin was horrified in his heart, and his legs kicked the ground violently, sticking to the ground and rushing out.

Where did the man in yellow allow him to stand up, like a maggot with a bone, and like a vulture hovering in the air, no matter how fast Du Wenlin dodged, he always covered it, looking for an opportunity to attack downward.

From the moment the gold-clothed man launched a surprise attack, Du Wenlin had never had a chance to stand up, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed.

If the master makes a move, once he loses the opportunity, the move will be controlled, unless the skill can be much higher than the opponent.

Now that he is forced to lie on the ground, he can only try his best to dodge, and he has lost the power to fight back.

Du Wenlin thought to himself, even if he stood up, he might not be able to defeat the man in gold.

Tonight is probably more auspicious!

Suddenly, a horse neighed and rushed into the dune path, and immediately rode two girls, it was Wang Ling and Rong'er.

Before they arrived, the two of them had already discovered that Du Wenlin was extremely dangerous.

Rong'er, who was sitting in front, flew straight up from the horse first, and the short sword in her hand stabbed straight towards the back of the golden-clothed man.

The three "bugs" watching the battle wanted to step forward to intercept them, but they were blocked by the sword in Wang Ling's hand.

The golden-clothed man was about to launch a final wave of attacks to kill Du Wenlin under his men, when suddenly there was a piercing chill from behind him.

The secret path in his heart was not good, and he didn't have time to attack again, so he flew straight out from above Du Wenlin and landed five meters away.

Du Wenlin jumped up, annoyed in his heart, didn't even say hello, waved his dagger, turned around and attacked the gold-clothed man, and the two fought together in a blink of an eye.

Just now, Du Wenlin was attacked by him and was caught off guard, but now the two of them are facing each other, and their skills are comparable, and it is difficult to distinguish between them for a while.

On the other side, Wang Ling was under the attack of the three yellow-clothed people, and he was a little stumbling and overwhelmed.

If she fought alone, the man in yellow would not be her opponent, but the three of them besieged her, and Wang Ling fell into disadvantage.

Seeing that Du Wenlin was not in danger for the time being, Rong'er waved the short sword in her hand, like a silky silk horse fluttering in the wind, and wrapped it around one of the yellow-clothed people.

Rong'er is not tall, and the sword in her hand is short, but she has great grappling ability, like a ball of sticky silk, wrapped around the enemy, making it impossible for him to move quickly to attack.

The man in yellow who was wrapped around Rong'er was irritated in his heart, gave up his defense, and stabbed the dagger at the green shadow that swirled around him.

The dagger pierced the air, but the vest felt a heart-piercing pain.

The dagger had pierced deep into his body.

Rong'er pulled out her short sword, and her little face turned a little pale.

The last time she cooperated with Wang Ling to kill the enemy in the camp, she assassinated all horses, and it was the first time she killed someone.

Silent thought in my heart: Don't blame me, I didn't mean to.

Turned around and wrapped around another man in yellow.
