Chapter 56: Yun Hanhu's eloquence escaped, and Guo Yi was in trouble and was trapped

The next morning, Chu Mohan gathered all his subordinates and was about to go to Xiongwu City to participate in the inauguration ceremony, when he suddenly saw Shi Ming walking in in with a panicked expression, saying that there was a fire in Xiongwu City last night and the grain and grass were burned...... Chu Mohan was like a deflated ball when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Shi Ming cried with a sad face and said: "Great commander, more than 30,000 pieces of military leather armor, 70,000 or 80,000 horses and two months of grain and grass were all burned overnight, it is really miserable." ”

Mage Shang Yan closed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and sighed: "In this way, our plan to raise troops has to be postponed again. ”

Suddenly, Chu Mohan slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Damn, what about the arsonist? ”

Shi Ming said: "Back to the marshal, it is found that those arsonists are all detained deserters, they either set themselves on fire or were killed, leaving no one alive. ”

"Damn, it's so hateful!" Chu Mohan gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard this, and turned his gaze at Yuan Chong, "Ben Shuai ordered you to patrol the city, how could this be such a big mistake?" ”

Yuan Chong's body trembled, and he stepped forward and said: "Marshal, according to the report of the city gate guards, there were two suspicious people who entered the city with waist cards on the night of the incident; After the fire broke out, one of them fled......"

"Where did you flee?" Chu Mohan asked.

"Inside Yuyang City. The whole city has been ordered to be on alert and searched from house to house. Yuan Chong replied.

"But what's the clue?"

Yuan Chong said "um" and said that there was a person who was very suspicious.

"Who?"

"The person sent by Lord Luo to escort the goods - Bai Chuan."

"Bai Chuan......" Chu Mohan was stunned.

"Returning to the handsome, this person's real name is Li Yunhan, and he is called Bai Chuan ...... to hide people's eyes and ears."

Li Yunhan ...... If there is a suspicion, why not arrest him? Chu Mohan interrupted him and asked.

"Therefore, the person was appointed by Lord Luo, and he was a friend of the eldest son, and he lacked evidence at the next time, so he had to let him go."

"Damn, don't worry about it so much, catch it first!" Chu Mohan shouted.

"Handsome and slow." Yan Guo sneered twice and stepped forward slowly, "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." It's a good time for this fire to burn. ”

Chu Mo listened to the case and shouted angrily, and asked him why he said this?

Yan Guo said unhurriedly: "Back to Dashuai, the grain and grass were burned, and it doesn't matter if the real arson is Bai Chuan or not; At the moment, we should be unanimous, and we must insist that Nani did it. ”

"Nani ......" Chu Mohan looked confused.

"Dashuai, haven't you always wanted to get rid of Guo Yi? Now that Asno has been killed, Nani has no one to use, and staying is a hidden danger. I thought it would be better to kill Nani first, and report to His Majesty that Guo Yi sent him to set fire to him and was captured and killed by me. This time, there are all human and material evidence, and Guo Yi must be a capital crime! ”

Chu Mohan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Damn, if you can get rid of Guo Yi, this fire is really fucking worth." Haha-"

Chu Miao followed up and exclaimed: "Mr. Yan's plan kills two birds with one stone, which can be described as high. ”

Yan Guo restrained his smile a little and said, "It's just that Guo Yi is Chu Yanzhong's subordinate, and he is controlled by Shuo Fang; At present, inform Lord Ji as soon as possible and ask him and Dashuai to jointly play in the imperial court. ”

Yuan Chong asked, what should Li Yunhan do?

Yan Guo's face was expressionless, and he said: "This person is suspected of arson, and he is not used by me, just kill him." ”

Chu Mohan glanced at Yuan Chong and said that the matter would be handed over to him.

Yuan Chong promised, and then took the order and left.

At this time, a probe reported that Da Fu led the northern mission out of the southern city gate and wanted to return to Chang'an.

"He wants to go, it's not that easy." Chu Mo laughed coldly, and then left the Shuai Mansion with a group of subordinates......

Li Yunhan and Wu Qi disguised themselves as entourage, and mixed in the team of the Beixing Regiment and left Yuyang City.

After that, the two said goodbye to Dafu and went straight to Jiuyuan County.

Da Fu led the delegation to walk two or three miles south, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. He looked back and saw where the dust started, Chu Mohan chased after him with a team of people.

When he got closer, Chu Mohan arched his hand to Da Fu, with a gloomy face, and said: "If the adult wants to leave, Chu will not stop him, why don't you even say hello?" ”

"The general misunderstood," Da Fu bowed slightly, "The general is busy with military affairs, and Da has completed his mission after staying in detention for a long time, how dare he bother again." ”

"What a word! You're treating me like an outsider, aren't you? ”

"The general has said it." Da Fu looked kind, "The general is loyal to His Majesty and governs the army in a good way, the people of Yuyang live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere, which is the blessing of Sheji, and Da will report to His Majesty truthfully after returning to Beijing." ”

Chu Mohan laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and ordered his entourage to present ten boxes of belongings.

Da Fu was shocked and asked, "General, why is this?" ”

"Your Excellency, it's been a hard trip. This gift is a little bit of Chu's heart, please accept it with a smile. ”

"The general is out of sight. Da is a certain routine, thanks to the general's hospitality for many days, he is already grateful, how can he receive such a generous gift again! ”

"Not much, not much," Chu Mohan smiled, "It's just some literary toys, calligraphy and paintings, jade antiques, I don't know the goods, so let's give them to adults to enjoy." ”

"This, it's really hard for Shu Da to obey his fate!"

Chu Miao was furious when he heard this, and raised his whip and scolded Da Fu: "Dog thing, I really don't know how to lift!" ”

Da Fu glared at him, looked at Chu Mohan, and asked, "......Who is this general?"

"Miao'er, don't admit your mistake to Lord Da yet!" Chu Mohan scolded.

Chu Miao drooped his face, and arched his hand to Da Fu with some reluctance, and said, "My lord, the last general is rude." ”

Chu Mohan looked apologetic and said loudly: "The dog Chu Miao is offended, please don't blame the adults." ”

"No problem." Da Fu smiled indifferently and said to Chu Miao, "Guan Gongzi is majestic and has the style of a general." ”

Without waiting for Chu Miao's words, Chu Mohan grinned and said, "My lord is smiling; He has a reckless temperament, and he only knows how to fight and kill all day long, compared to his brother, it is a heaven and an earth. ”

"This," Da Fu nodded, "I have heard the name of the eldest prince for a long time, why haven't you seen him in this behavior?" ”

"Qing'er, he went to Chang'an; If you want to see him, just go to Fulong Villa to find him. Chu Mohan said without thinking.

"Okay, Da has made a note;" Da Fu's mind quickly flashed the picture of Qing Gongzi, and he smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your kindness, Da Mou accepted these gifts." ”

After that, Da Fu said goodbye to Chu Mohan and the others, and left with his subordinates and the ten boxes of property.

Yuan Chong led his troops to the Saishang Spring Post House, and inquired with the shopkeeper Eryi only to find out that Li Yunhan and Wu Qiyi had gone out early in the morning.

Yuan Chong heard this, and then chased out of Yuyang City. After several inquiries along the way, he determined the route of Li Yunhan's escape and pursued him all the way along the official road to the west.

When he chased to the edge of a big river, he saw that Li Yunhan and Wu Qi had already driven to the center of the river in a small boat.

Li Yunhan arched his hand towards Yuan Chong and laughed: "Brother Yuan doesn't have to send each other, let's meet again in Chang'an." ”

Yuan Chong watched the two cross the river to the west, and couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and scolded: "Damn, Lao Tzu can't spare you!" ”

Yuan rushed back to Yuyang and replied to Chu Mohan, saying that he had not caught Li Yunhan. Chu Mohan didn't blame him deeply, but just ordered him to return to the capital to raise more money and food.

Yuan Chong did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and accompanied Lu Ke, Miao Jin and others all the way to the capital that day.

Not long after leaving Yuyang City, Yuan Chong reminded Miaojin that he had to be careful of Li Yunhan in the future.

Miao Jin pretended to be puzzled and asked him what he meant by this?

Yuan Chong said that the burning of Xiongwu City this time was difficult to escape from the surname Li......

"Are you finished?" Miao Jin glared and said, "According to rumors, that fire was sent by Guo Yi. ”

"No, that's for Your Majesty." Yuan Chong sneered, "If I see him next time, I will never let him go!" ”

"You dare!" Miao Jin scolded sharply, "I warn you, if something happens to him, I'm not done with you!" ”

Yuan Chong lost his temper for an instant when he heard this, and walked away without saying a word with a drooping face.

A few days later, Li Yunhan and Wu Qi rushed to Jiuyuan County. Guo Yi was very surprised when he saw it, and immediately set up a banquet to entertain the master and apprentice.

During the banquet, Guo Yi sighed: "Chang'an has been separated for several months, and I don't want you and me to see each other here, it's really fortunate." ”

"Yun Han was ordered by Luo Feng to escort the goods to Yuyang, and came to visit his brother by the way."

Guo Yi was stunned for a moment and asked him how could he do things for Chu Mohan?

"Definitely." Li Yunhan smiled indifferently, "I often hear that Chu Mohan has a heart of disobedience, so I took the opportunity of escorting to go north to explore the truth." ”

"So, is this trip rewarding?"

"Sure enough, the thief is the opposite!" Li Yunhan put down his wine glass and said solemnly, "Open the salt pond widely, and sell salt and good horses, this crime is one; Forcibly levying taxes, enslaving the people, and indiscriminately killing civilians to pretend to be enemies and meritorious, this crime is two; building a heroic city, recruiting troops and horses, and causing trouble at the border passes, this crime is three; With these three counts, he should have been killed several times! ”

"Mr. also said one less thing, colluding with the powerful ministers and framing Zhongliang;" Guo Yihong's face was slightly excited, "Guo is close to him, and he has suffered greatly from it all these years." ”

"Please elaborate, General."

"He used to send people with gifts to make friends with me, but I refused. Unexpectedly, he secretly bribed my subordinate Nani, instigating him to burn grain and grass and raise troops to rebel. Fortunately, Adjutant General Pu Wynn exterminated it in time, otherwise it would have caused disaster to the three armies. ”

Li Yunhan said "um" and asked, "What about the rebel Nani?" ”

Guo Yi showed a little regret on his face, saying that Nani fled east and didn't know where to go; However, three of his cronies were captured by him and confessions have been recorded.

Li Yunhan thought for a moment and said: "Chu thief and wolf ambition, this time Asino was unfortunately killed, I am afraid that the next one will be you, the general." ”

"This," Guo Yi sighed sadly when he heard this, "This matter is all because of me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a strong man flashed out from behind the screen, shouting at the two of them: "If you don't avenge this revenge, I swear not to be a person!" ”

Li Yunhan looked up, but it was Mintai, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "General-"

Min Tai seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "Ji Wen designed to lure my father to encircle and suppress Nani, and took the opportunity to send Yuyang soldiers and horses to set up an ambush in the middle of the road to kill my father, and the rest of the troops also surrendered to him...... I was forced to flee here. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Yunhan sighed lightly and beckoned him to sit down.

Guo Yi took a piece of paper from the bookshelf, handed it to Li Yunhan, and said that this was a complaint played by Mintai to His Majesty, and asked him to read it.

Li Yunhan took a closer look at it, and exclaimed: "Why did Brother Guo also sign the painting on it......

Guo Yi was quite unimpressed, and said: "Since this matter started because of Guo, of course, I am indispensable to testify." ”

"Brother Guo can't help but think too simply!" Li Yunhan stared at him, "As soon as this situation comes out, not only will I not be able to clear the grievances for Asno, but I am afraid that even the general's life will have to be put into it." ”

"Oh?"

"If I guess correctly, the death of Marquis Jingyuan this time was actually done by Lin Fu and Ji Wen and their party in order to cut off the wings of the East Palace and borrow the hands of Chu Mohan. This group of people has been planning for a long time, if the brother and Min Tai jointly play, wouldn't they fall into their trap? Li Yunhan said.

"So Guo pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't care?"

"Brother misunderstood." Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "Regardless of the grievances of Marquis Jingyuan's death, as soon as this matter reaches the capital, it will definitely cause the government and the opposition to shake and His Majesty to be angry." Brother Guo, just imagine, at that time, His Majesty can still believe this performance in the face of civil and military officials, and go to avenge the grievances of a deceased person under the Nine Springs? ”

Min Tai said angrily to Li Yunhan: "Sir's words are wrong, then my father will die in vain?" ”

"Nope. This revenge will be avenged, but it is not yet time. Li Yunhan said softly.

"What the gentleman said is reasonable." Guo Yi pondered for a moment, "There is a traitor in the court, and we are not near, how can I convince Your Majesty with just a complaint!" ”

Min Tae got up and scolded: "Damn, what kind of bullshit court is this!" ”

Li Yunhan glanced at Mintai, then moved his gaze to Guo Yi, and said, "Brother Guo, don't worry, we still need to collect evidence from all parties now." As for His Majesty's excerpts, I need to draw up a separate copy, and I only need to explain the rebellion of Nani and his subordinates, and nothing else needs to be said. Also, five hundred miles to hurry, and report the truth to the Holy as soon as possible. ”

"Okay." Guo Yi nodded, "Ask Mr., now that the thief is full-fledged, how should I deal with him if he gets into trouble?" ”

"According to Li's opinion, this winter is still worry-free." Li Yunhan's face was indifferent.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The heavens have eyes, and they sent down divine fire and burned the city of Xiongwu; If he has no food, grass, and ordnance, can he still fight back? Li Yunhan asked rhetorically.

"That's right, this fire is really timely." Guo Yi was emotional, and toasted Li Yunhan with a glass of wine, "Is this a matter done by Mr.?" ”

Li Yunhan glanced out the window a little noncommittally, and said indifferently: "This is the will of heaven." ”

Guo Yi immediately understood when he heard this, and laughed: "Yes, it is indeed a divine fire from the sky." ”

The three of them staggered, and after drinking, Li Yunhan said goodbye to Guo Yi, took Wu Qi out of Jiuyuan County, and rode his horse to Chang'an.

As soon as Guo Yi returned to the mansion, he wrote another notebook for Emperor Xuan according to Li Yunhan's intentions, and made a detailed report on Nani's bribery by Chu Mohan and arson and defection. After writing, he ordered his subordinates to send the horse to Chang'an and present the book to Emperor Xuan.

After doing this, Guo Yifang felt a little more steady, and lay on the bench with his eyes closed and took a nap. While he was resting, a soldier came with a messenger to report that Ji Wen, the overseer, had arrived outside the city and asked him to go to discuss the matter.

Guo Yi hesitated for a moment and asked what's the matter?

"Lord Ji said that at the turn of autumn and winter, there were Turkic rangers who came to harass from time to time, and wanted to discuss with the general how to deal with the enemy." The messenger replied.

"Then why didn't he go into the city?"

"General Hui, in order to deal with the invasion of enemy cavalry, Lord Ji is leading his subordinates to inspect the surrounding terrain outside the city."

"yes, I see." Guo Yi saw that the messenger's answer was like a stream and there was no flaw, so he breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and hurriedly left the mansion with two entourages and the messenger.

Out of the city, the messenger led him to a birch forest, where Ji Wen and his men were resting on the lawn. Seeing that Guo Yi had arrived, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Unexpectedly, after the two exchanged a few words, Ji Wen suddenly ordered his subordinates to tie up Guo Yi. Before Guo Yi could react, Tong Li and the others who were ambushed in the bushes rushed to the front and surrounded him.

"Why did you arrest me?" Guo Yi asked.

Ji Wen sneered: "According to Nani's confession, it was you who sent him to set fire to Xiongwu City. ”

"Nonsense, this is clearly a frame-up!" Guo Yi said angrily.

"Of course there is evidence," Ji Wen took out a silk book, "There is a secret report from General Chu here, you don't want to deny it!" ”

"Hmph, how can you just take his word for it!" Guo Yi defended, "Guo is willing to confront him face to face." ”

Tong Li and the others couldn't help but say that they tied Guo Yi up in a strong knot. Guo Yi struggled hard but still couldn't get rid of it, and shouted: "Master Ji, Guo has wronged ......"

"Are you wronged? Then go and tell Your Majesty when you return to Beijing! Ji Wen waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to arrest Guo Yi.

Subsequently, Ji Wen put Guo Yi in a wooden cage prison car and escorted him all the way to Chang'an.
