Chapter 512: Cornered

Yuan Xi's body was shocked, and the suspicion in his eyes faded a lot in an instant, and he seemed to be moved by Wen Chou's explanation.

He didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he had to look back at Xu You.

Xu You's eyes rolled a few times, his face softened a little, and he stroked his beard and said: "What Wen Ziqin said seems to have some truth, so it seems that the Su thief is really insidious and cunning." ”

Xu Yu said so, and Yuan Xi naturally didn't dare to question Wen Chou anymore.

Wen Chou shook his head in disappointment, and said indignantly: "I, Wen Chou, am loyal to the lord and your Yuan family, but the second son, you doubt me like this, it's really chilling." ”

Yuan Xi's expression was embarrassed, so he had to sneer and said: "General Wen, don't misunderstand, I'm just asking casually, I have never doubted General Wen's loyalty, you must not think about it." ”

Wen Chou snorted and arched his hand: "If the second son has nothing to say, then I will also retire." ”

Before he could open his mouth, he turned around and walked away.

Yuan Xi stood there awkwardly, watching Wen Chou go away, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Chun Yuqiong, who had been silent, said: "Xu Ziyuan, you don't really believe what Wen Chou said." ”

Xu You's brows furrowed, his face returned to gloomy coldness, and he snorted: "Of course I won't believe it, but in this situation, we can't rashly assume that he is going to rebel, otherwise it will not be good to force him to be in a hurry." ”

"What should we do, sir?" Yuan Xi asked helplessly.

Xu You stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "Now we can only closely monitor Wen Chou and always be on guard against any changes in him. Chun Yu old general, you also have to make your men and horses ready, and in the last resort, we can only preemptively eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. ”

Chun Yuqiong immediately understood, and immediately said proudly: "Don't worry, my people are absolutely reliable, I have long felt that this Wen Chou is anti-evil, just a word from the second son, the old man can immediately kill him." ”

Yuan Xi sighed helplessly and muttered: "I hope I don't go to that point, that Wen is ugly and brave, but it's not so easy to deal with, alas~~"

Outside the city.

Su Zhe has returned to his own camp on horseback, and Yan Liang, Huang Zhong and other generals are all relieved, fearing that Su Zhe will make a mistake.

"Duke Chu, is Wen Chou willing to surrender?" Yan Liang asked impatiently.

Su Zhe shook his head: "That brother of yours is very stubborn, you can't understand his character anymore, how could he be persuaded by me to surrender in just a few words." ”

Yan Liang sighed and said bitterly: "In this way, we can only carry out this divisive plan to the end and force Wen Chou to a dead end." ”

Su Zhe nodded and said: "It can only be like this now, if at that time, Wen Chou is still obsessed and wants to be loyal to the Yuan family, then he can only blame himself for not giving himself a way to live." ”

After that, Su Zhe raised his horse whip and sneered: "Since you want to act, you have to act enough, pass the order, and the whole army will retreat ten miles." ”

The order was handed down, and on the same day, 150,000 Soviet troops pulled out the camp and moved south, retreating ten miles to camp.

As soon as the Soviet army withdrew, the threat to Wuyang City was suddenly lifted, and the 20,000 Yuan soldiers in the city were all happy and secretly happy.

The clouds of war seemed to be far away from the city.

The soldiers rejoiced, but Yuan Xi was not happy, his mood became heavier and heavier, and his suspicion became more and more intense.

The reason is very simple, because of the two sentences that Su Zhe and Wen Chou had a conversation with Wen Chou when they were leaving.

What "a word is decided", what "waiting for your good news".

And now, as soon as Su Zhe finished meeting with Wen Chou on the front foot, the army retreated on the back foot, giving up the oppression of Wuyang City, which is really too weird.

"Could it be that Su Zhe deliberately withdrew his troops so that we could relax our vigilance, so that Wen Chou could take advantage of the situation to launch a mutiny and seize the city in one fell swoop?"

Xu You, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said his final guess.

Yuan Xi's heart froze, and he said in a trembling voice: "No, that Wen Chou also said that this is the Su thief's divisive plan." ”

Chun Yuqiong said in a deep voice: "Earlier, Yan Liang had written to Wen Chou, I wanted to check it, but Wen Chou hurriedly tore up the letter, the day before yesterday he met with Su Zhe alone, and he didn't know what he was plotting, and now Su Liang retreated ten miles for no reason, judging from all kinds of signs, I am afraid that it is not as simple as a discordant plan." ”

"That'...... So what should we do? Yuan Xi was a little panicked.

Chun Yuqiong didn't speak, and looked at Xu You.

Xu You's eyes swept up with a deep coldness, he waved his hand, and snorted coldly: "If you don't do it, you won't stop it, start first and get rid of Wen Chou!" ”

Yuan Xi's expression froze, and he stammered: "But everything we are doing now is just speculation, and there is no real evidence to prove that Wen Chou wants to rebel, and if he does it like this, will there be something inappropriate." ”

"Second son, how can you drag mud and water like this!" Chun Yuqiong couldn't stand it, and persuaded bitterly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, do you have to wait until Wen Chou rebels and the evidence is conclusive before you are willing to do it?" I'm afraid that by that time, we will not even be able to die. ”

Yuan Xi was silent, his thoughts were surging, weighing the pros and cons, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Xu You had no choice but to say earnestly: "Second son, Wuyang City is the last barrier of Yecheng, there is no room for failure, I hope you can focus on the overall situation, don't cling to those side details, it will be too late to drag it on." ”

The hesitation on Yuan Xi's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold killing machine.

After muttering for a long time, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only strike first, you say, how should we do it?" ”

Xu You and Chun Yuqiong breathed a sigh of relief, and at the moment, the three of his ministers conspired to prepare how to do something to Wen Chou.

The entire Wuyang City is still immersed in the relaxed atmosphere of the retreat of the Soviet army at this moment, but the shadow of slaughter is quietly spreading.

On the other side of the county government, the camp of Wenchou.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wen Chouku sat there, his face was gloomy as iron, and he was drinking sullen wine cup after cup.

Footsteps sounded, and a henchman lieutenant stepped into the tent and glanced at Wen Chou.

Wen Chou understood, so he asked all the soldiers on the left and right to retreat.

"How's your inquiry?" Wen Chou asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the general, the little one has inquired clearly, Yuan Xi plans to summon the general to the county government tonight to discuss matters, and secretly ambush the sword and axe to kill the general."

Wen Chou frowned, paused, and asked, "The news is true." ”

"It's true, it's what we said with our ears and eyes that we planted on Yuan Xi's side early in the morning."

Click!

Wen Chou clenched his fist, crushed the wine glass in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, I, Wen Chou, am loyal to your Yuan family, but you listen to the villain's slander and want to put me to death, since this is the case, then don't blame me!" ”
