Chapter 544: Collaboration with the enemy and treason

Near a mountain range outside Yiqu City, there are countless cattle and sheep grazing on the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, on the flat ground, sits a huge mansion, surrounded by Rong riding horses and patrolling, and hunting dogs roaming around, which is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Wu's family is in Wushi County, but his family has 10,000 gold, and there are also vast pastures and private houses in a mountain range outside Yiqu City.

"Father, the caravan has been out of the fortress, and after leaving the Great Wall for twenty miles, our people will break away from the team, quickly go to Helan Mountain, and inform the Yueshi people of the Qin army's march route."

Wu Shifang is in his thirties, a big man with a full beard, and reports the situation to Wu Shifang, who is sitting at the top.

"Hmm."

Wu Shilu took a sip of mare's milk wine.

The Yue's people killed the Qin envoy and threw the head of the Qin envoy in front of the Great Wall, which caused the anger of the general Zhao Tuo after the news was reported back to Yiqu City.

It is said that when the general heard the news, he took the case in front of the county guard and others, and angrily denounced the barbarians for being rude.

It is said that since ancient times, the two armies have fought without killing them, and he led the army to conquer the six countries, even if the heads of the countries were bloody, he never killed the messenger.

Now that the Yue Clan is pretending to be an alliance, and the two countries have not yet started a war, they have beheaded the envoys of the Qin State, which is not only a rude barbarian, but also a naked provocation to the Qin State.

"The border is barbaric, kill my Qin envoy, although it is far away, it will be punished!"

The general made a bold statement, and he reported the matter to the 200,000 Qin troops outside Yiqu City in public, which aroused the anger of many Qin people, and the voice of exterminating the barbarians was endless.

In anger, the general decided not to wait for the soldiers and horses of Longxi and Shangjun to converge, and to lead the army out of the fortress after half a month, set foot on Helan Mountain, and exterminate all the Yueshi Guishan troops grazing there.

"The arrogant Qin people fell for the steppe wolf."

When Wu Shilu heard the news, he secretly sneered.

He is a Rong man and knows the way of doing things in the grasslands.

The Yueshi people did this just to provoke the general, a beast that had lost its mind, and was more likely to be hunted by herders on the grassland.

The Qin army of 300,000 marched hand in hand, and this huge number of troops would pose a great threat to the Yue people.

Now the general was angered by the Yue Clan, so he abandoned the two partial divisions and chose to seize the advanced army Helan, and the number of troops was reduced by one-third, which was great news for the Yue Clan.

What's more worth mentioning is that he Wu Shi Lu was the largest border merchant in Qin, and before that, he often traded cattle and horses with the Yueshi and the Xiongnu, and was the person who was most familiar with the situation in Henan, so the general summoned him to ask about a suitable route to march.

Wu Shilu was very enthusiastic and planned a suitable route for the Qin army, which could allow the 200,000 troops to avoid the Gobi Desert along the way and reach the Helan grassland, where water and grass are abundant.

The general expressed his satisfaction and asked him to send another caravan out of the fortress to win over some small tribes in Henan to find out the latest movements of the Yue clan for the Qin army.

This surprised Wu Shilu a little, he didn't expect the general to trust Wu Shi so much.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, he Wu Shilu has the "position than the feudal monarch" treatment given by the emperor himself, and he will offer a large number of cattle, horses and treasures to the emperor every year, and he seems to be a good businessman of Great Qin, and no one would have thought that he would betray.

After smiling secretly in his heart, Wu Clan Lu just used this caravan as a cover to pass the Qin army's march route to the hands of the Marquis of Yue.

"Father, if this Qin army is defeated by the Yue Clan in the grassland, will the emperor send a large army to conquer again?"

Wu Shifang asked cautiously.

Wu Shi snorted and said: "If these 200,000 troops are gnawed down by the Yue people, the other two partial divisions will definitely not dare to go deeper, so they can only retreat, and this war will be considered a failure." ”

"If the emperor doesn't know what to do, he still has to fight the Yue clan, and the new general still has to rely on our Wu clan, and then continue to do so. If the emperor suffers and gives up attacking the grassland, then the status of my Wu clan in the Qin State will only be high and not low. ”

"You have to remember that only when the herdsmen outside the Sai and the farmers in the Sei exist at the same time, can our Wu clan dance between the two and benefit from it, if one of the two is gone, then my Wu clan will have no source of wealth."

"What my father said is that only if the Yue Clan is immortal, we can earn money from them and the Qin State."

Wu Shifang nodded, deeply convinced.

Just then, there was a sharp whistle outside, and the roar of a hound.

The faces of the Wu family and his son changed, and they hurriedly pushed the door out, just to see that the door of the mansion was knocked open, and one by one the stubborn Qin soldiers entered.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Shi Tie blushed and looked at a middle-aged scribe who was surrounded by Qin soldiers.

Li Shiqi smiled and said: "The general has invited Wu Shijun to the county government. ”

"Is this please? My father has the right to make a pilgrimage to the emperor and discuss politics, and if you are so rude, we will definitely sue the emperor! ”

Wu Shifang roared, seeing that those Qin soldiers actually bypassed them and rushed into the mansion, and saw that they were going to raid the house.

Wu Shilu's hand in his sleeve trembled, and his face was gloomy: "Then let's go, I just went to see the general and see what he means!" ”

"If you don't give a reasonable explanation, the old man will never give up!"

……

Half an hour later, the Northland County Government.

In the face of the injustice, the father and son of the Wu clan were injust, questioned, and even threatened to sue the emperor.

Zhao Tuo smiled and spoke calmly.

"Let's waterboard Wu Shijun and his son first."

Fan Xu, who had already been waterboarded by popular science, immediately stepped forward with a cruel smile and grabbed the two Wu Shi to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers brought cloth and water.

Cover your face and add water......

"I'm going to Xianyang!"

"Kill me!"

"You're a demon!"

"The Admiral spared me!"

"I say! We have passed on the military information to the Yueshi people! ”

In less than two quarters of an hour, Wu Shifang couldn't hold on to his father, and at the moment when he unveiled the cloth for ventilation, he seized the opportunity to pour beans and shook out the matter of how their father and son could convey the military intelligence of the Qin State to the Yue people through the dead soldiers they raised.

The son descended first, and Wu Shilu, who had long been unable to hold on, also collapsed immediately, without anyone asking, and then confessed his sins.

However, in a moment, through the trust of the general, Wu Shi and his son used the caravan to transmit important military information to the Yue people, and a major case was immediately clearly laid out.

The faces of Li Junshou and Yang Junwei, who were watching, turned pale.

"The Wu clan fornicated with foreign enemies and passed on military information to the Yue clan, this is a crime of treason, their father and son should be sent to Xianyang, it must be a car split!"

"Such a great harm to the country, thanks to the general's discernment, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Damn it!"

Li Junshou and Yang Junwei slapped Zhao Tuo's sycophants again, and angrily reprimanded Wu's father and son, for fear that they would be implicated by them.

Wu Shilu knelt on the ground, his pale face still dripping with water.

He kept kowtowing: "Wu Shilu was blinded by interests and did such a stupid thing, the general please spare his life." Wu Shi is willing to sacrifice all his family wealth, and only begs to spare my life. ”

"The general spares his life."

Wu Shifang also cried and kowtowed.

"Hahaha, offer your possessions to beg for mercy? You have all treasoned against the country, and when the car breaks you, the wealth of your family will still be returned to the government. ”

Fan Hao laughed, extinguishing the hope of the Wu father and son.

Wu Shilu collapsed on the ground, his face full of despair.

When Zhao Tuo saw this scene, he knew that it was almost time.

He asked lightly: "Treason and collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime. However, the war is about to begin, I still have some use for your father and son, and give you a chance to make meritorious service to the Wu clan, if you can help me destroy the Yue clan, I should give you a meritorious service, maybe you can be exempted from the death penalty and live as a prisoner. ”

"Prisoner?"

Hearing this, he had already imagined what kind of Wu Shi Lu was when he was torn apart, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the prisoner is miserable, he can still live, which is 10,000 times better than suffering the torture of car splitting.

The Wu father and son immediately bowed their heads and said, "We are willing to sincerely help the general break the enemy!" ”

Wu Shi Lu said with a shy face: "I will choose a new route for the general to avoid the main force of the Yue Clan." ”

Zhao Tuo laughed.

"Avoid? Why do you want to avoid it, I was just waiting for those Yue clan people to come to a decisive battle with my Qin army! ”

"Win or lose!"

Thank you for the reward of Lin Shenshi and the vote of all book friends, thank you!
