Chapter 16/41: The Ranger's Trap
The emperor groaned slightly, and then said: "Chu Huan, what Xuanyuan Shao said is false?" Are you really the blood wolf who disappeared back then? You claim to be very aware of the situation because you experienced it yourself? ”
Chu Huan said loudly: "The matter has come to this, I have nothing to hide, yes, I am the blood wolf that General Xuanyuan said!" ”
The corners of Xuanyuan Shao's eyes were raised, but the emperor had already frowned and said: "I remember that there was indeed a missing corpse back then, and I also sent someone to look for it, but there has been no whereabouts...... Chu Huan, you are a blood wolf, why didn't you return to the Northwest Camp at that time? Why have you been hiding your whereabouts, and even pretending to be ordinary people to appear in Yunshan? Could it really be as Xuanyuan Shao said, it was you who betrayed Feng Hanxiao? ”
Chu Huan said with a smile: "If I hadn't concealed my whereabouts, I was afraid that the deaths of General Feng and the Thirteen Taibao would be concealed forever, and the people of the world would only know that they were killed by the Xiliang people, but they didn't know that there was something strange about it, General Feng and the Thirteen Taibao would definitely die blind." ”
"Chu Huan, what do you mean by this?" The prince asked in a deep voice.
Chu Huan glanced at the prince before he said, "Since the Divine Yiwei killed General Feng, how can he leave a fish that slipped through the net?" Qinglong, I'm afraid you've been secretly looking for my whereabouts all these years, right? ”
Qinglong said lightly: "Chu Huan, you are really hidden, in fact, we have not doubted you, in your resume, you disappeared for eight years, which is a big loophole, but we didn't expect that you are a blood wolf, and you dare to go to the capital ......!" ”
"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled: "You think I don't dare to go to the capital, why is that?" Because you're chasing me everywhere, you think I'm not going to fall into the trap? His expression froze, and his eyes were cold, "Why do you want to chase and kill me, it's just to hide the matter of your ambush with General Feng back then, and you are worried that the disappeared blood wolf will find some clues, so of course you have to kill people." ”
The prince frowned and said, "Chu Huan, the death of Feng Hanxiao is really related to Shenyiwei?" What evidence do you have? ”
Chu Huan said: "Prince, I said before, I didn't come to ask you to be the master, and I didn't want to prove the guilt of Shenyiwei...... As the saint said, the Divine Clothes Guard does things neatly, very cleanly, and it is not easy to get their evidence, I just want to know today, who instructed the Divine Clothes Guard to ambush in Changtian Valley? ”
"Chu Huan, you really don't make sense." Lin Yuanfang said loudly: "You can't come up with any evidence, so you're just talking here." It is to testify that the common people have committed crimes, and they also have to come up with evidence, and now it is said here that the god Yiwei harmed Feng Hanxiao, but he can't show evidence, that is, he is spewing blood here, intending to slander ......! He bowed his hand to the emperor and said, "Holy Lord, please take down Chu Huan immediately and resend it." ”
The emperor didn't pay attention to Lin Yuanfang, but just asked, "Chu Huan, aren't you afraid of death?" Sneak attack on the Divine Guards, and if you rebel, I can execute you at any time. ”
Chu Huan smiled: "Don't hide it, I have already died several times, since I dare to make a move, I haven't thought about life and death...... Back then, I promised them that I must find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and now that I have seen the enemy, I naturally will not endure it any longer. ”
"The enemy you are talking about is naturally Qinglong." The emperor frowned and said, "I ask you, since you are a blood wolf, before Feng Hanxiao was killed, you were naturally by his side?" ”
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Exactly, that time, General Feng heard that there were Xiliang cavalry haunts outside the pass, so he personally led thirteen of us out of the pass to investigate, and secretly went out of the customs ......!" ”
"Wait!" The prince suddenly said: "Chu Huan, you said that Feng Hanxiao heard that there were Xiliang cavalry outside the pass, so he took you out of the pass to investigate?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Did the Northwest Army send scouts outside the customs at that time?" The prince stared at Chu Huan and asked.
Chu Huan said: "There are scouts outside the pass, patrolling within fifty miles outside the pass, their duty is only to find out the situation outside the pass, even if they find the Xiliang cavalry and horse bandits, they can't take the initiative to attack, they only need to go back to the camp to report immediately, it is because the scouts found that there are signs of the Xiliang cavalry outside the pass, so General Feng will personally take people and horses out of the pass to investigate!" ”
"This palace is very strange, the general of the Northwest Army is smiling and cold, why do you want to go out in person?" The prince frowned and said, "Since the scouts have already found out that there are Xiliang cavalry activities outside the pass, why does he still want to take risks out of the pass?" ”
Chu Huan said: "Although General Feng didn't say the reason, according to my guess, the general wanted to see with his own eyes whether there were really Xiliang cavalry cruising outside the pass. A few years before that, although the Xiliang people often plagued the border passes, they were all pretending to be horse bandits, and did not appear openly with the appearance of the Xiliang cavalry, but the scouts found that it was the regular Xiliang soldiers who were cruising outside the pass. ”
The prince bowed slightly, and said: "You mean to say that because there were regular Xiliang cavalry outside the pass, unlike before, Feng Hanxiao felt that things were okay, so he personally led people out of the customs to investigate?" ”
Chu Huan said: "Now the world thinks that General Feng only has one light horse out of the pass, but in fact, before that, General Feng went out of the pass many times in disguise and surveyed the terrain outside the pass......!" After a pause, he continued: "From Yanmen Pass to the Jingulan Desert, there is nearly a hundred miles of Gobi Desert, the terrain is undulating, and there are many deep valleys...... And Yanmen Pass must be the concentration of warring. ”
When everyone heard Chu Huan say this, they couldn't help but think of Feng Hanxiao, Feng Hanxiao had long foreseen that Qin State and Xiliang would have to fight, and it seemed that his vision was very long-term.
In fact, many people know that the Western Liang attack on the Qin State seemed to be due to Feng Hanxiao's death, but the reason for chasing it was because the national strength of the Qin State was declining, and the Xiliang people seized the opportunity.
Even if Feng Hanxiao lives, there will be no war in three or five or even ten years, but one day, the Xiliang people will have to fight sooner or later.
"General Feng said that instead of arranging the first line of defense at Yanmen Pass, it is better to push the line forward." Chu Huan said: "Although Yanmen Pass is strong, but guarding Yanmen Pass, it is already passive, Xiliang people do not come, once they come, they will inevitably prepare sufficient manpower and material resources, Yanmen Pass may not be able to hold on, General Feng said, in this world, there is no pass that cannot be broken......!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but nod, Yanmen Pass was originally known as the world's first male pass, before that, everyone thought that it was an insurmountable moat to block the enemy from the north, but in the end it was broken by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"You mean, Feng Hanxiao wanted to push the defense line into the Gobi zone?" The prince asked.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's right, there are many ambushes in the Gobi region, and there are many places where strongholds can be built, General Feng said that if there is enough money, it is enough to build a stronghold barrier next door outside Yanmen Pass, for which he has repeatedly disguised himself to go out of the pass, survey the terrain and landform, and determine the location of the stronghold, he said that when the survey is completed and a detailed map is drawn, he can report this matter to the imperial court......!" ”
When the emperor heard this, his face showed emotion, and he sighed: "Feng Han laughs at the public loyalty to the country, and it is ...... to work for the country!" But he didn't go on.
"So when General Feng knew that there were Xiliang rangers in the Gobi, he led us out of the customs to investigate, which was not a new thing for the general, and it was not the first time he rode out of the customs." Chu Huan said slowly: "And if nothing happens, the thirteen of us are enough to ensure that General Feng can come and go freely and ...... safe and sound!" ”
The prince frowned and said, "But that time, you had an accident. ”
"Not bad." Chu Huan said: "We followed the general to patrol outside the pass, and we have not found the movement of the Xiliang rangers, and when we approached the area of Changtian Valley, we suddenly found traces of the Xiliang rangers, they are only five or six people, it seems that they have a sudden encounter with us, and when they see us, they immediately turn around and run ......!" ”
The prince frowned and said, "This is a trick to lure the enemy!" ”
"It's not surprising that the prince now knows that it's a trick to lure the enemy." Chu Huan said: "But at that time, no one thought that it would be a trick to lure the enemy, just because we went out of the customs, it was the general who suddenly got up, and the general has always been resolute in doing things...... Even we don't have time to prepare, and it is impossible for others to know about this operation, and the general has always kept it secretive when he goes out of the customs, unless the people of Xiliang have a number of unpredictable prophets, it is impossible for them to know that we are out of the customs, and it is impossible to use any tricks to lure us into the trap ......! ”
"But in fact, they are indeed prophets of the unknown, and they have indeed led you into a trap." The prince was thoughtful, his brows furrowed, and he naturally noticed the strangeness in this matter, "That is to say, when you went out of the customs, they were indeed very clear about your whereabouts, and carefully set a trap ......!" ”
"Wait!" Zhou Ting suddenly said: "Chu Huan, you said that the Shenyi Guard ambushed General Feng and the Thirteen Taibao, but now you say that it was the Xiliang Rangers who led you into the trap...... Don't you think there's a big contradiction between this? ”
Everyone else nodded, and they all felt that what Zhou Ting said made a lot of sense, Chu Huan just said that it was the Shenyi Guard who ambushed Feng Hanxiao, but now he said that it was the Xiliang Rangers who lured them into the trap, which was very contradictory.
Chu Huan was calm, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Zhou Nayan doesn't need to worry, when we saw the Xiliang Rangers, we naturally wanted to catch the tongue and interrogate the truth, and we really didn't think that their whereabouts were already known to them at that time, so we didn't watch out for them as a trick to lure the enemy, and when we chased them to Changtian Valley, we ......!" His gaze suddenly became cold and abnormal, "Right at Changtian Valley, we were ambushed, and there, no less than three hundred Xiliang soldiers ...... ambushed!" ”――
