Chapter Forty-Eight: Night Talk

Liu Chan was taken aback, Wang Gui he had seen today, he was Yue Fei's Chinese military commander, equivalent to Yue Fei's personal guard leader, but he didn't expect him to be the person of the shadow guard.

It's just impossible, it's like your brother suddenly tells you one day that he's been in a relationship with your girlfriend, and it's really a bolt from the blue.

"You're a shadow guard?" Liu Chan asked in disbelief like five thunderbolts.

"The minister was assigned by Li Hui during the Jianyan period to join the Yue family's army, and it has been ten years now."

Wang Gui recalled that when he met Li Hui, it was the winter of the first year of Jianyan, the war in the north was non-stop, the Jin soldiers did not stop their horse's hooves of the southern invasion, and there was smoke everywhere. At that time, even the aristocratic royal family couldn't survive in the north at all, let alone Wang Gui, who was only sixteen years old at the time.

Everyone was running south, but when escaping this time, Wang Gui accidentally got separated from the large army. He walked alone on the snow, constantly slapping himself, resenting his carelessness and missing the last glimmer of hope to live. In the end, Wang Gui fell in a canyon and was picked up by Li Hui, who was still a red shadow guard at the time.

"Who are you?" Wang Gui woke up, hugged the only dry food left in his chest, and asked Li Hui vigilantly.

"I see that your bones are clear and you have practiced martial arts?" Li Hui did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I have practiced, my father is the head of the forbidden army's martial arts, so I have followed him to practice martial arts since I was a child. Don't mess around, it's not good if I accidentally hurt you. Wang Gui bluffed and said, his father is an ordinary martial arts teacher, what kind of forbidden army leader. Although he has also learned martial arts, he is half a catty and eight taels, otherwise there will only be this dry food.

As a red shadow guard, how could Li Hui not see Wang Gui's lies, and said with a smile: "Boy, my name is Li Hui, do you want to live well?" ”

"You said to live well, you can live well?" Wang Gui asked rhetorically.

"Follow me, listen to me, work for me, and naturally live well."

Although Wang Gui didn't believe Li Hui, he didn't know where to go, so he followed him first. Since then, Wang Gui has joined the Imperial City Division and has an official position. Later, Li Hui suddenly became the commander of the shadow guard, so Wang Gui also became an ordinary shadow guard, responsible for monitoring the movements of the armies in various places.

The encounter between Wang Gui and Yue Fei was also on the battlefield, but there were more twists and turns than meeting Li Hui.

In the second year of Jianyan, the Jin State was bound to destroy all the armed forces of the Song Dynasty in the north at that time. The situation was very critical, but ten red shadow guards died in a row, and they did not pass the stolen battle map of the Jin Kingdom to Zong Ze.

At that time, the shadow guards were simply crazy, and when the red shadow guards died, they sent ordinary shadow guards. But the news never fell into Zong Ze's hands. The shadow guard lurking on the Jin country's side is also going crazy, and the Jin country is not a fool, even if the twenty or so battle maps are handled carefully, a blind man can detect that there is a problem, and he is about to be exposed.

The boy shall die in the wilderness, and his body shall be buried in horse leather. The red shadow guards were all wiped out, and more than half of the ordinary shadow guards died. In the end, the battle route map fell into Wang Gui's hands, so he also had to go on the road. Wang Gui didn't know how the other shadow guards died, and after the red shadow guards died, a lot of information didn't know. So he could only blend in with the homeless people first, trying to take the opportunity to sneak out. As a result, he met Jin Bing on the way, and except for him, the rest of the people who followed him were all dead.

In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was like this, either on the way of the dead, either on the way to war, or on the way to war.

At that time, there was war in the north, but fortunately, everyone knew that Zongze was a safe place, so the people who could not move south flocked to Zongze. Wang Gui also took this opportunity to blend in with the people, wanting to fish in troubled waters and sneak to Zong Ze. But the spies of the Kingdom of Jin seem to know Wang Gui's whereabouts, and they can find him wherever he is hiding. Five waves of people died in a row, with a total of tens of thousands of people, and Wang Gui gave up this idea. Cry? After seeing so many lives and deaths, Wang Gui couldn't cry for a long time.

Later, Wang Gui told Li Hui this information, suspecting that the shadow guards on the Jin side might have defected or had a traitor. But after investigation, it was found that no one had defected, and no one was a traitor. Instead, Jin Guo deliberately released news in the north, saying that Zongze was safer and there was food. In this way, the people hiding in the north will consciously run to Zong Ze, and the Jin State can intercept and kill the people of the Song Dynasty along the road.

At that time, the people really couldn't survive at all, and they only had the slightest hope, so they would rush forward one after another. So, Jin Guo used this method to slaughter more than 100,000 people of the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, Wang Gui had no way to pass the news to Zong Ze, but the shadow guards were completely crazy, and Li Hui even gave a death order, demanding that at all costs, even if all the shadow guards died in the north, the battle route map must be handed over to Zong Ze. So Wang Gui could only go on the road alone, but to his surprise, he didn't meet half a golden soldier along the way, and he was very lucky.

But unfortunately, on the last leg of the journey, he still met Jin Bing. Rushing overnight, Wang Gui really didn't have the strength to fight, so he could only close his eyes helplessly and sit on the ground waiting for death.

Just as Jin Bing was about to cut off his head, a feather arrow went straight into the chest of the Jin Bing, and it turned out that Yue Fei had arrived. At that time, Yue Fei was not as high-spirited as he is now, he was not worried about state affairs every day, and he was not always frowning. On the contrary, he was very high-spirited and reckless, and he dared to confront the five Jin State cavalry head-on.

"Boy, don't be cowardly, just do it with Jin Bing." At that time, Yue Fei had just killed all the five golden soldiers, riding on his horse, looking down at him.

Wang Gui will never forget Yue Fei's appearance at that time, with a proud look on his young face, shining in the sun.

After receiving it, Zong Ze immediately sent 5,000 cavalry to attack the Jin army in Huazhou, and finally achieved a great victory in Tokyo, which shocked the world.

Because of the battle map, Wang Gui was promoted to the red shadow guard in the north. Later, Wang Gui was sent by Li Hui to spy on Zong Ze, but who would have thought that in July of Jianyan that year, Zong Ze shouted three times in a loud voice, "Cross the river!" After that, he left abruptly.

Things happened so fast, no one thought that Zong Ze would die suddenly, and the shadow guard didn't even have time to prepare. For a general in the army like Zong Ze, the shadow guard keeps a close eye on them, and usually sends a shadow guard to monitor them at the beginning of their career. But at that time, no one thought that Yue Fei would actually take over the authority of Zong Ze and continue the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom.

At the time, Kagewei thought that Zong Ze would hand over the power of the army to his son, but as a result, there was a major error in judgment. The shadow guard had no choice but to promote Wang Gui to the brown shadow guard again, and let him follow Yue Fei's side and monitor Yue Fei's movements.

"Hurry up, please." Liu Chan hurriedly helped Wang Gui up, one was promoted from an ordinary shadow guard to a brown shadow guard, and a shadow guard who had been in the army for ten years! It's scary to think about!

Although Liu Chan was the emperor, he didn't have much of an emperor's shelf, and he asked gossipingly: "You are the matter of the brown shadow guard, does Yue Fei know?" ”

Wang Gui shook his head, if Liu Chan hadn't personally inspected the Yue family's army today, he wouldn't have exposed his identity at all. Even, he had always felt that as long as he continued like this, his identity would not be exposed at all. But after thousands of calculations, Liu Chan actually wanted to lead the Yue family army to conquer in person!

Liu Chan sighed, and for the first time became curious about the spy agency of the shadow guard, how many shadow guards are hidden in the whole country. Only the original Zhao Gou knew about this matter, even the commander Li Hui didn't know it, and Liu Chan didn't know it.

"What are you here for?"

Wang Gui replied: "The minister has been lurking in the Yuejia army for ten years, and I came to report on my work today, and I don't know if I want to explain the situation in the army to you. ”

"Oh, you can talk about it, as well as Yue Fei's conduct, let's talk about it too." It seems that there is nothing to do, and Liu Chan is happy to listen to it.

Wang Gui felt that his guess was right, and sure enough, he sent himself to join the Yue family's army to monitor Yue Fei before. Although he respected and admired Yue Fei, he always felt sorry for Yue Fei. What's even more helpless is that Yue Fei is a stunned young man, he teaches Yue Fei the way to be an official every day, but Yue Fei was still kicked out of Lin'an.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yue Fei's subordinates are mainly divided into the Yuejia army and the Beiwei army, the Yuejia army has cavalry and infantry, 10,000 cavalry, mainly light cavalry; about 25,000 infantry; There were 5,000 soldiers on their backs, but all of them were heavily armored cavalry. Most of the army were veterans who had seen blood, and there were less than 10,000 new recruits. ”

Liu Chan's eyes lit up when he heard Beiweijun: "Let's talk about Beiweijun." ”

"The Beiwei army is under the control of Zhang Xian, but the actual commander is Yue Yun."

"Yue Yun? Yue Fei's son? Liu Chan asked.

Wang Gui had a bad intuition in his heart, he shouldn't mention this stubble, but he was a shadow guard, and there was no way to do it: "Yes, although Yue Yun is Yue Fei's son, he is proficient in cavalry and can fight tough battles, so Yue Fei let Yue Yun lead the back army during the war." ”

"Father and son soldiers, who is Zhang Xian?"

"It's the general you saw in Yue Fei's mansion today who stood silent, Your Majesty forgive me, he usually doesn't like to talk and doesn't know how to communicate, but he is good at marching and arranging formations. When Yue Fei was away, he commanded the whole army. ”

"It's good, let's talk about Yue Fei."

"General Yue is loyal and patriotic, and he has been by his side for many years, and he has never seen him arrogant. It's just that his personality is too straightforward and he doesn't know how to be an official. ”

"It seems that you have a lot of admiration for Yue Fei, yes, I heard of Yue Fei's loyalty when I was in Lin'an, and I will be more relieved if you say so today. Having Yue Fei here is a blessing for our dynasty. Liu Chan smiled and said, a loyal person is a monarch who likes it.

Wang Gui didn't expect Liu Chan to say this, he always thought that the purpose of his existence was to spy on Yue Fei, and when he was activated, it was when he murdered Yue Fei, but he didn't expect Liu Chan to like Yue Fei so much.

"Don't be nervous." Liu Chan said with a smile: "Although you are from the shadow guard, I sent you to Yue Fei's side not just to spy on Yue Fei, but to protect him. Such an important minister of the country will inevitably be framed by traitors and enemy countries. With you here, if something happens, I can protect him as soon as possible. ”

Wang Gui's mind seemed to be suddenly opened, and he was refreshed, he really didn't expect that his mission to spy on Yue Fei was actually for this.

"But Commander Li Hui said before..."

"I didn't tell you before, in order to prevent you from being emotional, and to ensure that you can report Yue Fei's situation objectively and truthfully. Ten years have passed now, and Yue Fei's loyalty to me has long been clear to me, so I can tell you the truth. In the future, you will be both my shadow guard and Yue Fei's personal guard. Be sure to protect Yue Fei's safety! ”
