Chapter 525: Luck and Misfortune

"Driving...... ...... driving"

More than twenty knights galloped all the way to the north, and the dust was light. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info are sixty miles away, with gray hair, but they are still old and strong, their eyes are like electricity, and they are majestic, and they are the only remaining veteran generals Wei Xiaokuan in the Northern Dynasty.

"The front is in the territory of Chaoge (Hebi, Henan), less than eighty miles away from Yecheng (Linzhang, Hebei), which is already under the nose of Wei Chi Yuan, we have to be careful!"

The old and hoarse voice has a calm and resolute air, which is convincing.

The personal general's face was worried, "Great Marshal, Wei Chi is very ambitious, is he really willing to obey the order of the Great Prime Minister (Yang Jian), obediently hand over the military talisman seal letter, and let you replace him?"

Wei Xiaokuan said quietly: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." If the son is young today, it is reasonable for the prime minister to act as the regent with the dignity of the national abbot, unless Wei Chi dares to raise troops to make a rebellion, he has to act according to the order. ”

Having said that, Wei Xiaokuan has stood for several dynasties without falling, and he is cunning and cunning, and he knows better than anyone else that Wei Chi Yuan is not only ambitious, but also has long been dissatisfied with being suppressed by Yang Jian. Now that Yang Jian is in power and hostages the young master, it seems that he is invincible, but in fact he has fallen into the hands of others, and it is impossible for Wei Chi Yuan to let go of this opportunity, and he will definitely raise troops to divide one side and compete for the world in the name of punishing traitors and courting non-ministers.

The reason why Yang Jian sent him to take over the position of Xiangzhou governor of Xiangzhou this time was precisely to suppress Wei Chi Yuan with the prestige that he had accumulated in the army for more than 50 years, and forced Wei Chi to abdicate according to the order.

However, although he was close to Yang Jian because of his association with Buddhism, he was by no means Yang Jian's diehard loyalist, knowing that this trip was dangerous, he was stunned and crashed into a trap, which was hopelessly stupid.

Therefore, along the way, he has been trying to slow down as much as possible, while delaying time, waiting for the secret agents of the imperial court to send the specific news of Yecheng Wei Chi Yuan, while thinking about how to deal with it, the most important thing is how to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, and strive to make great contributions to Yang Jian now that his time is running out, and pave the way for future generations to be promoted.

Suddenly, Wei Xiaokuan's gray thick eyebrows moved, and his ears trembled slightly against the whistling north wind, and he used his [Earth Listening Technique] to capture what sound, and at the same time, his body was rickety, and his face was sad, and in the blink of an eye, he changed from a majestic old general to a weak old man, and deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse again, which was almost like a stroll on a horse.

The essence of a soldier is to know oneself and one's opponent, and not to be defeated in a hundred battles.

Therefore, the masters and generals who have always commanded the three armies have sensed the enemy's situation earlier, and more or less will practice some surveillance and eavesdropping techniques similar to the [Heaven and Earth Listening to the Great * Method], but whether they can see how far and how subtle and how far and how detailed they can listen still depends on their personal attainments and the mastery of audio-visual secret skills.

Wei Xiaokuan's [Earth Listening Technique] was originally a secret transmission in the army, and after fifty years of hard work, he has reached the realm of supernatural transformation, and he can easily capture the subtle sounds coming from both the air and the earth without lying on the ground when listening.

After a while, when they had rounded a hill, a group of elite horsemen came into view.

Wei Xiaokuan's eyes are strong, his memory is extraordinary, and he knows that the elite warrior at the head is He Langui, a general under the command of Wei Chi Yuan.

From afar, Helan Gui called out loudly: "But General Shangzhu Guowei is in person?"

"It's Ben Shuai!" Wei Xiaokuan replied in a deep voice, standing still, but sneering in his heart: Pretending, as soon as Ben Shuai stepped into the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, I am afraid that his whereabouts have already been clearly grasped by Wei Chi Yu, will you not know Ben Shuai?

When he got closer, Helan Gui quickly turned over and dismounted, half-kneeling on the ground, "Humble Helan Gui to meet the general!"

Wei Xiaokuan's mind turned, and he didn't get off the horse, but just reached out and helped him, "Don't dare to be such a big gift to General Helan, please get up quickly!"

Helan Gui didn't think it was wrong, got up slowly, took out a letter and handed it to Wei Xiaokuan, "In the future, the last general will serve under the command of the marshal, and the ritual of kneeling and bowing should be ...... General Wei Chi waited for the marshal to arrive for a long time, and the special general came to greet him with his own letter, hoping that the marshal would speed up his journey and arrive in Yecheng as soon as possible to hand over things to General Wei Chi, so that General Wei Chi could return to Chang'an as soon as possible and reunite with his family after a long absence. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Wei Xiaokuan dealt with it casually, unfolded the letter and looked at it, as he expected, the letter was full of unnutritious greetings.

At that moment, Wei Xiaokuan put away the letter, patted the calf wrapped in the riding boots vigorously, made a thumping sound, sighed bitterly, and looked embarrassed, "It's not that Ben Shuai is unwilling to speed up the trip, it's really old, his blood and qi are declining, and old injuries frequently recur, as soon as he bumps up, it hurts so much that Ben Shuai gasps cold, where do you dare to whip up?"

"I see. ...... Then the general will accompany the marshal all the way slowly. Helan seemed to be convinced, but in fact she secretly scolded in her heart: The old man relies on the old man to sell the old, when Lao Tzu doesn't know your skills? Half a year ago, you also served as the governor of Xuzhou, and in the two Huai battles, tens of thousands of troops in the Southern Dynasty lost their armor and lost their armor, and they were terrified, and captured Huainan and Yangzhou in one fell swoop, and now you are pretending to be sick and pretending to be old?

Wei Xiaokuan remained silent, beckoned to call two calm and fierce soldiers, and ordered: "Ben Shuai's old trouble is sudden, the pain is unbearable, you two rush to Yecheng first, and grab medicine for Ben Shuai according to the old rules...... Go and go back!"

Helan Gui's pupils shrank, and before he could stop it, the two pro-soldiers agreed to it, quickly whipped up, and left the dust.

Wei Xiaokuan took in the subtle changes in Helan Gui's expression, and suddenly became more sure that Helan Gui came to monitor him on the order of Wei Chi Yuan, and urged him to go north to Yecheng to enter the set, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: In this way, these two pro-soldiers are going to be more auspicious...... However, it is also possible to test through the encounters of these two personal soldiers in Yecheng whether Wei Chi Hui wants to detain the old man and wait for an opportunity to persuade him to surrender, or does he want to kill the old man directly?

There is a difference between the two!

Ci is not in charge of the army, Wei Xiaokuan, who has been on the battlefield for more than 50 years, has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and it is not the first time that he has risked the lives of his subordinates to test the enemy's situation!

Just after Wei Xiaokuan and Helan Gui slowly advanced for a few miles, Wei Xiaokuan's eyes moved again, and his thoughts turned sharply.

Not long after, another team of elite horsemen galloped over, and the leader was actually his nephew Wei Yi, who was the Taishou of Wei County (under the jurisdiction of more than ten counties around Linzhang), and was controlled by Wei Chi.

"Haha...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and my nephew misses my uncle!"

Wei Yi was as affectionate as ever, and drove the horse and Wei Xiaokuan to ride side by side.

Wei Xiaokuan also turned around and hugged his nephew with a smile, and patted his nephew's back vigorously, very relieved, "Bastard boy, under the command of General Wei Chi, you didn't make trouble for him, right?"

As he spoke, his gaze wandered between Wei Yi's expressions, as if he was looking to see if he was emaciated.

Wei Yi said humbly: "My nephew has indeed been taken care of by General Wei Chi. ”

"Yes...... When the old man sees General Wei Chi, he has to thank him!"

Wei Xiaokuan coped with it quietly, and sneered in his heart: This kid has been stupid and timid since he was a child, and now he is the lord of a county and still hasn't grown at all.

It turned out that he had been paying attention to Wei Yi's expression just now, just hoping that Wei Yi would give him a look, but Wei Yi acted as usual, which became the biggest abnormality in his eyes - even if Wei Chi Yi did not move at all, then their uncle and nephew would have to exchange glances to confirm when they reunited, instead of saying nothing like just now!

Wei Yi didn't know Wei Xiaokuan's thoughts, and took out a mahogany box like a treasure and opened it, and suddenly the fragrance of medicine overflowed, and there was a thick stack of plasters in the box, "My nephew knows that my uncle's old injuries on his legs are frequent, so I specially brought a plaster refined by a famous doctor in Yecheng to ensure that my uncle's medicine is cured!"

Wei Xiaokuan: "......" is like slapping this stupid nephew's heart to death!

Helan Gui quietly held the handle of the knife, his eyes were fixed on the calf that Wei Xiaokuan had slapped before, and there was a slight sneer in his eyes, as if he wanted to supervise Wei Xiaokuan's medicine with his own eyes.

"Or you kid has filial piety!" Wei Xiaokuan's old face was full of smiles, his eyes looked at Wei Yi lovingly, his left hand took the wooden box containing the plaster, and his right hand took out a sticker from it, and then he didn't stop at the horse, only turned around on the horse's back, and with his skillful horsemanship, he stretched the sick leg with an old injury to Helan Gui steadily.

"I also asked General Helan to take a hand and help the old man take off his boots......"

"Don't dare to say ...... Lao Dashuai" Helan Gui's expression was light, he let go of the handle of the knife, and grabbed the toes and heels of his boots with both hands, as if he really wanted to help Wei Xiaokuan take off his boots.

At the moment when Helan Gui's fingertips were about to touch his boots, the two of them shouted at the same time, and the soles of their feet and palms surged together with vigor and struck together.

"Peng!"

The whole boot instantly turned into countless fragments and burst into splatters.

Helan Gui's arm was sore, and he was shocked by Wei Xiaokuan's profound skills, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a mahogany box with four plasters hit his head and face, and he was busy swinging his palm to block, but he didn't expect a bronze fist lightning to strike, breaking into his palm shadow and hitting him hard in the chest.

"Click!"

The sound of bone cracking sounded.

Helan Gui's clothes exploded behind him, and a blood-colored fist mark appeared on the skin of his vest, and the whole person was thrown into the air like a hairball, and he died of anger before he could scream.

Between the lightning and flint, the winner has been decided!

Before Wei Yi and He Langui's thirty or forty personal soldiers could react, Wei Xiaokuan's twenty personal soldiers had already brushed their blades together, rushed over on horseback, and slashed at them wildly.

"Ahaha...... This little bit of Taoism dares to compete with Lao Tzu? Wei Chi is not qualified to come in person!"

Wei Xiaokuan laughed wildly and patted the horse's back, his body soared into the sky, and he pounced on those elite horsemen who belonged to Wei Chi Yuan like a falcon, and all of his punches and kicks were fierce, killing the target with one blow.

When Wei Yi woke up from a nightmare, none of the more than 30 horsemen around him had died, but Wei Xiaokuan's own soldiers were not even injured!

Wei Xiaokuan flipped upside down, returned to the horse, and said disdainfully: "If the soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Chi are all such rotten melons, then his head is on Lao Tzu's merit book!"

Wei Yi trembled, "Uncle, ......?"

Wei Xiaokuan slapped the unfortunate nephew off the horse, held the slick stinky feet in front of him, turned his head and shouted: "Find a boot for Lao Tzu!"

The soldiers immediately went to the pile of dead people to look through their boots one by one, as if they were looking for a suitable one for Wei Xiao's wide foot.

As soon as Wei Yi got up from the ground, he saw Wei Xiaokuan pick up his trouser leg, quickly tore off a yellowing plaster from his calf and threw it away, revealing an old scar like old tree bark, and pasted the plaster he had held in his right hand before.

Then he put on his boots under the service of his own soldiers, and snorted coldly at Wei Yi, "Wei Chi Yuan is more filial than you kid, this plaster is extraordinary, not to mention one or two gold stickers!"

Wei Yideng's face turned red and he was ashamed. Not to mention the supremacy of the family in this era, if the people in the clan knew that he assisted outsiders to frame his uncle, he would definitely be dealt with by the family law, and it was said that the reason why he was able to serve as the official position of the Taishou of Wei County was also thanks to his uncle's military exploits...... It's a shame to take revenge!

The soldiers gathered their horses and walked away very discerningly, guarding the surroundings.

Wei Xiaokuan raised his hand and slapped his nephew again, and scolded: "Tell me honestly, how is Wei Chi Yuan going to deal with Lao Tzu?"

Wei Yi got up from the ground and replied in a low voice: "Wei Chi said that he would put his uncle under house arrest first and persuade his uncle to join in the great cause. ”

"What?" Wei Xiaokuan didn't seem to hear clearly, and slapped his nephew down with his backhand, "Say it again!"

Wei Yi stood up even more quickly and said loudly: "Marshal Wei Chi is ready to take his uncle hostage and raise troops to kill Yang Jian." ”

Wei Xiaokuan kicked him down again, "You say it again!"

Wei Yi simply covered his swollen face and stood still on the ground, "Wei Chi Yi is going to pull his uncle into the water." ”

Wei Xiaokuan sneered, shook his palm, slammed Wei Yi's hands away, slapped him in the face again, and asked, "Say it again, how is Wei Chi Yuan going to deal with Lao Tzu?"

Wei Yi: "......" wants to cry without tears.

When the surrounding soldiers heard the movement, they all felt sour, and they all had relatives: the handsome man was extremely smart, but there was such a stupid nephew...... I don't know if it's the luck of the handsome, or the misfortune of Wei Yi?

Wei Xiaokuan shook his palms, the bone joints crackled with a crisp sound, squinted at He Langui's corpse, and then looked at his nephew, "If you don't explain obediently, Lao Tzu recognizes you as my nephew, and Lao Tzu's [Blood Fist] can't recognize you!"

Wei Yi shuddered, and cried and said, "My nephew has already confessed honestly......"

Wei Xiaokuan's face hated that iron could not become steel, and he seemed to squeeze out words from between his teeth, "Wei Chi Yu wanted to trick Lao Tzu into going to Yecheng, and then killed Lao Tzu, and used Lao Tzu's head to sacrifice the flag, and raised an army to rebel...... Yes and no?"

Wei Yigang wanted to deny it, but suddenly thought of something, and immediately nodded frantically like a chicken pecking rice, "Exactly! exactly...... Wei Chi wanted to kill his uncle, continue to encroach on military power, and force all the generals to rebel together!"

"Finally enlightened!" Wei Xiaokuan smiled without smiling, and as soon as he grabbed it, Wei Yi gave a soft force to help him up in the air.

Wei Xiaokuan finally advised: "Remember, no matter who you are in front of, you have to bite this statement to death, otherwise even if Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin, the prime minister will have to execute you secretly!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, threw Wei Yi back on his own horse, and shouted: "Wei Chi is reversed, we will go back as soon as possible to report to the prime minister, and inform all cities along the road to guard against rebel attacks on the city!"

The soldiers answered, turned around as he beat his horse, and galloped.

Wei Yi was sandwiched between the riders, followed by Wei Xiaokuan, swallowed his saliva, and said with courage: "Uncle, the wives and concubines of the little nephew are all in Yecheng, if they don't return, they will definitely be poisoned by Wei Chi ......."

Wei Xiaokuan didn't care, "Women are like clothes, as long as you follow Lao Tzu to make meritorious contributions and worship the generals, what kind of woman do you want? And you are still so young, it is not a problem to have ten or eight more children!"

Wei Yi was helpless, "Is this ......?"

"The big husband is not informal, don't be a mother-in-law!" Wei Xiaokuan interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Hey...... Anyway, my life is coming to an end, if you really lack women, I will give you all the five concubines I have accepted in the past two years.

They are all carefully selected by me, and they are all big and easy to raise, as long as you work hard, you can add three or five more children today next year."

Wei Yi: "......" (To be continued.) )
