Chapter 154: The Way Home (8)
"Continue to work, have you noticed anything wrong with Yan Yun recently?"
Xue Wanche pulled Dugu Zhen to a secluded place and asked in a low voice.
Dugu Zhen's face changed, and he looked around and said, "Did you see something?" How so? ”
Xue Wanche said eagerly: "I have nothing to do today, and I suddenly remembered what Yan Yun said when he killed my Zuo Yiwei soldiers, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. This...... This is clearly an anti-heart! Continued work, didn't you hear it when you were thoughtful? ”
Dugu Zhen sighed and said, "Only you are so dull!" Is it inappropriate to think about it after so many days? It's been in my mind for a few days, but it's just hard to talk about. After all, the brothers were all rescued by Yan Yun with someone, and they ...... And Marshal Yuwen did go too far, I still felt at first that it was natural for Yan Yun to be a little resentful, but his words and deeds were becoming more and more radical, and I don't think he plans to serve the court after returning to the Great Sui. ”
"What should I do?"
Xue Wanche hurriedly said: "You and I are all good brothers who were killed from the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain, since Yan Yun has such an idea, since you have already seen it, why don't you tell me?" No, let's go find him together. You must persuade him well, if you let him go on like this, what will happen in the future? ”
"Persuade?"
Dugu Zhen sneered: "You don't know what surname Yan Yun is?" He is that person, and the truth he believes can't be pulled back by nine cows! I think that if we really go to him and make it clear, the relationship between us and the fight along the way will really be broken. If it doesn't work, he will immediately send someone to take you and me down! ”
Xue Wanche said: "How come, Yan Yun is righteous and angry, let's go all the way from Sashui to kill the generals, Yan Yun will not miss this feeling." I can't just watch him go down the evil road, the evil road is just that, it's clearly a dead end! No way! If you don't go, I'll go by myself, I'll persuade him!" ”
Dugu Zhen grabbed Xue Wanche and said, "Why are you so stupid? ”
Xue Wanche frowned and said, "If you don't go, it's okay, what are you pulling me for." I want to see if Yan Yun is as you said, and immediately send someone to tie me up! ”
Dugu Zhen gritted his teeth, and the surname Suo came out with his guess.
"If he hadn't already had the intention of rebellion, how could he have that map in his hand? For two years of preparation for this Eastern Expedition, the map in the hands of the generals of each army is as detailed as Yan Yun's? Also, if you think about it, the words that Yan Yun said to the soldiers in the past few days were clearly to provoke the soldiers' rebellion! In my opinion, when he crossed Sashui to save people, it was not a matter of righteousness, but something that had been calculated early. ”
After listening to Dugu Zhen's words, Xue Wanche's face changed greatly.
"How is this possible? Even if he had planned a rebellion a long time ago, could he have predicted that our Great Sui army would be defeated in Sashui? Your guess just now is based on the fact that Yan Yun had already guessed that the army would fail, I don't believe it, he could have predicted that the men and horses of the Great Sui would have such a fiasco in Sashui! Continuing to work, you are also a cautious and meticulous person, tell me, before going south, did you ever think that the army in Sasu would be defeated by the Goguryeo people? ”
Dugu Zhen said: "Even if you can't guess when the army goes south, can't you guess when the army under Pyongyang City has run out of food?" ”
Xue Wanche was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I still don't believe it." snatched the corpse of the old general Mai Tiezhu by the Liaoshui River, you say that he had premeditated. Then let me ask you, in addition to His Majesty the Emperor's important ministers and generals, how many people know the specific time when he agreed with Yizhi Wende to redeem the body of the old general Mai Tiecane? You don't know, how can he, a person who hasn't joined the army, know! ”
"Besides, when he was in Sashui, Liu Shilong let go of Yizhi Wende, which led to the rout of the army! No one else chased him out, but Yan Yun took his seventeen personal soldiers to chase him out to catch Yizhi Wende. If it is really as you said, Yan Yun has long been looking forward to the rout of the army, and it is too late for him to be happy when Yizhi Wende is gone, why should he chase it? In order to catch up with Yizhi Wende, Yan Yun is wearing dozens of arrows, how do you explain this? ”
"This ......"
Dugu Zhen was speechless for a while, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Anyway, he is not as righteous as you say!" This person is scheming, and he is by no means anti-hearted just now. ”
Xue Wanche sighed: "Continuation of Gong, I know that you look down on Yan Yun, he is from a humble family, but his personality is respectable, which Xue can see clearly." Even if he is against him, as you said, I still have to persuade him. ”
Dugu Zhen complained for a while in his heart, and said in his heart, how did I forget, this idiot also received the life-saving grace of Yan Yun's guy? When it was said that on the north bank of Sashui, Eulzhi Wenli attacked the camp, it was Yan Yun who rescued him with his men and horses, and gave him a share of the credit for killing the Goguryeo general, why did I forget?
"That's it!"
Dugu Zhen thought about it and said: "I'm not prejudiced against Yan Yun, aren't I also afraid that he will go to a dead end?" Since you want to persuade him, I will go with you, but ......"
"Just what?"
Xue Wanche asked.
Dugu Zhen said: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if Yan Yun is really determined to rebel, if you and I make things clear, what if he doesn't allow you and me?" Then don't you and I throw ourselves into the net and go to find the dead ourselves? ”
Xue Wanche said impatiently: "Then what do you say!" ”
Dugu Zhen said: "I think so, you go to invite Yan Yun, just say that I have caught a few wild games here, and a few pots of old wine from the fortress of the Goguryeo people, I will go back to Zhang Luo, you don't want to persuade him first, just say that I want to invite the two of you to eat wine, invite him to my tent, and after the three rounds of wine, we will find a chance to persuade him." In this way, if we turn our faces, we will not die without a place to be buried. ”
Xue Wanche thought about it, this is indeed a foolproof strategy, if he really can't persuade Yan Yun, it's a big deal to scatter himself and Dugu Zhen with his own soldiers and leave immediately.
"Alright, I'll go and invite him."
Dugu Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to go first, go back and arrange the soldiers first, if there is really anything wrong, you and I will immediately take someone to grab the war horse and leave." ”
Xue Wanche nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and arrange it first, and I'll go and invite Yan Yun later!" ”
……
……
After Dugu Zhen returned to his military tent, he sat down as if he had been drained of strength. Xue Wanche had already gone back to his camp to make arrangements, but at this time, Dugu Zhen's heart was still beating wildly. His face was very unsightly, perhaps because of fear, perhaps because of excitement, and his face was pale with a little sickly redness.
"Yan Yun! Don't blame me for being ruthless, you are the one who went to a dead end. ”
Dugu Zhen muttered.
He reached out and picked up the wine bag from the side, and took a big sip to calm his mood a little. He didn't want to persuade Yan Yun, but to take the opportunity of Xue Wanche to invite Yan Yun to eat and drink to kill Yan Yun. Only apart from him, Dugu Zhen will feel truly safe. Escape? Don't be funny, no map, no guide, no food, where can you escape? Yan Yun has so many soldiers and horses, fleeing, I am afraid that if I can't go out for thirty miles, I will be chased and killed by a large team of men and horses, and the arrows will be shot into hedgehogs!
Since the opportunity to find the door by yourself, how can you let it go?
Dugu Zhen remembered the way he saw Yan Yun and Xiong Kuohai talking in a low voice just now, and thought resentfully in his heart that that guy must have been winning people's hearts. Xiong Kuohai is a tiger general, and it is impossible for Yan Yun, the heavy armored infantry of 1,000 people, not to grasp it. In this way, Yan Yun is already preparing to do it unhurriedly. I'm afraid that if I can't get to Liaoshui, all the generals will be replaced by his cronies!
At that time, even if you want to do it, you will have no chance, and you can only watch it be slaughtered!
"Hey, hey!"
Dugu Zhen sneered and thought, isn't it a crazy speculation to kill Sashui by himself? Although he is very famous in the family, because he is not a son-in-law, he is not valued by the family at all, otherwise how can he be a small general from the fifth grade with his own talents? originally planned to defeat the whole army, but he could bring back a group of men, if he really succeeded, even if the emperor did not reward himself, his status in the family would improve a lot. I am a person who is not valued, if I can fight hard to build a good future, then there is nothing to regret.
Now a better opportunity has come, as long as you can take the opportunity to kill Yan Yun, and then... Get rid of Xue Wanche and create an illusion that the two of them don't agree and draw their swords against each other, isn't the team of more than 20,000 people successfully taken over by themselves? As long as the arrangement is right, no one can see any clues! Even if Yan Yun's cronies are suspicious, what waves can they make when Yan Yun dies?
Dugu Zhen excitedly thought that if he could really go back with a team of more than 20,000 people, then in front of His Majesty, he would undoubtedly be in the limelight!
The nine generals have been defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been abandoned by them, if I return safely with my men and horses, haha! Even if there is no reward for the time being because of the defeat of the expeditionary force, will it be far away to be crowned a marquis in the future?
"Someone!"
Dugu really shouted.
A few soldiers came in from outside the tent and bowed their heads and said, "What does the general command?" ”
Dugu Zhen called them to the front and whispered a few words, and the pro-soldiers were obviously stunned for a moment, but when they saw Dugu Zhen's face, they immediately nodded and went out to arrange. After a short time, fifty pro-soldiers gathered, and Dugu Zhen's pro-soldier brigade led a few words in a low voice, with a solemn face. After receiving the order, the fifty pro-soldiers quickly found a place outside Dugu Zhen's big tent and ambushed, and the steel knife was unsheathed, just waiting for Dugu Zhen to give the order.
After the pro-soldiers hid, Dugu Zhen was still not at ease, so he called his pro-soldier brigade over and gave another order.
"Later, I will use the excuse to get out of the tent, and as soon as you see me come out, rush in and kill people. Yan Yun and Xue Wanche tried to rebel, don't show mercy! If this is done, I will protect you as a five-grade general! ”
The pro-soldier brigade leader said gratefully: "Thank you for the promotion!" ”
Dugu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be smart!" ”
……
……
Li Xian smiled at Xue Wanche as he walked: "Why is Dugu so interested in inviting you and me to drink?" And it's amazing that you can make a trip to call me in person. ”
Xue Wanche's face changed slightly, and he smiled: "How do I know, he hurriedly went to look for me just now, saying that he had caught a few wild meats and a few pots of old wine, and said that it was rare to be idle today and there was no need to rush away, and the three of you and I were drunk." After saying that, he went back to prepare, and I had to invite you, anyway, I would eat his wine, and I wouldn't eat it for nothing. ”
Li Xian laughed and said, "That's right, don't eat for nothing." ”
After a pause, Li Xian suddenly asked casually, "I'm only afraid of this wine...... It's not for nothing, is it? ”
Xue Wanche turned his head to look away, hiding the embarrassment on his face: "What if you don't eat for nothing?" Could it be that you and I still have to give him money for wine? ”
Li Xian smiled slightly: "I just don't know, whether this wine is cheap or expensive." Together, I'm afraid it's not much cheaper. ”
Xue Wanche said with a smile: "After drinking and leaving, can he still use a knife to stop us?" ”
Li Xian nodded and said, "Even if he takes a knife, he can't beat you and me." ”
"Haha!"
Xue Wanche smiled: "The two of them are not Xue's opponents!" ”
Hearing the laughter of the two people, Dugu Zhen greeted him with a smile from the military tent, and said with a smile as he walked: "What jokes are you two talking about?" How can you be so happy. ”
Li Xian smiled: "Jokes about you." ”
"My joke?"
A hint of gloom flashed in Dugu Zhen's eyes, and he still smiled and said, "I look, do I look like a joke?" ”
