Duosang said anxiously: "General, this is obviously the enemy's trick. General, you must not fall for it!"
Song He was furious and shouted: "Of course I can tell the truth from the false. I think this secret letter is absolutely true and definitely not a lie!" Hanon and other generals from the Zanbutai line couldn't stand it any longer and came out one after another to defend themselves. Duosang begs for mercy. When Songhe saw that all the generals of Zanbutai's line had come out to fight against him, he couldn't help but show murderous intent in his eyes. Then he felt a chill in his heart and said to himself: "Although I want to take the opportunity to cut off Zanbutai's wings, I can't attack everyone at the same time." I will be ruthless, otherwise it will be difficult for His Majesty to explain. We can only take our time and give both kindness and power, starting with Duosang. '
As soon as he thought about this, he said angrily: "You don't know the truth and rashly plead for mercy. Aren't you helping the evildoer? Although I don't care about it, the general, but if someone accuses your majesty and your majesty blames you, can you bear the responsibility?" Hanon and others They looked at each other with some fear.
Songhe handed the letter to Zhan Dui and said: "Give the generals of Hanon the secret letter from King Yan to Duosang to see if I have wronged Duosang." Zhan Dui stepped forward and said, He untied the letter with both hands, came to the tent, and handed the letter into Hanon's hands.
Hanon took the letter and read it quickly with a shocked expression. He then handed the letter to other generals for circulation. Everyone looked extremely shocked after reading it. After the last general read it, he handed the letter back to Zhan Dui. Zhan Dui took the letter, walked to Shuai's case, put down the letter, and stepped aside.
Songhe asked Hanon and others: "You have all read this secret letter from King Yan. Do you still think that the general has wronged Duosang?" Hanon and others looked at each other, and Hanon bowed and said: "General, this letter is probably a counter-intentional plan by the enemy. Please give me a clear warning!" The generals of Zanbutai's line also begged for mercy.
Songhe yelled angrily: "You are abusing the public for personal reasons! Well, don't ask for mercy!" He glanced at Duosang and said coldly: "Duosang colluded with foreign enemies. The evidence is conclusive and must not be tolerated!" Ha! Nong wanted to beg for mercy again, but Duosang gently shook his head at him. Hanon was very puzzled when he saw this, but he still listened to him and said nothing more.
Zhan Dui said: "General, colluding with foreign enemies is a heinous crime and should be executed immediately!" Hanon and others were shocked. Songhe looked hesitant. He also wanted to kill Duosang. Only by getting rid of all the generals of the Zanbutai line could he truly control this army to avoid being hindered by others. But if he killed Duosang right now, he would be afraid It will make everyone in the Zanbutai line of generals feel insecure and cause big trouble. As soon as he thought about this, he said: "I am entrusted with your majesty's imperial decree to attack Yan Yun, and I have the power to kill generals on the spot. However, for the sake of your past achievements, I will spare your life and put you in a prison car. Take him back to the imperial capital and hand him over to His Majesty!"
Zhan Dui and others were very puzzled and looked anxious; but Hanon and others breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the accounts were dismissed, Zhan Dui asked puzzledly: "General, why didn't you take the opportunity to get rid of Duosang and the others? They are causing trouble here, and the general is tied up and doesn't know when they will hand over to His Majesty." Shangzhezi falsely accused the general, causing the general to lose his current position as commander! General, you can't raise a tiger to cause trouble!"
Song He said: "How can I not know these truths? However, if the treatment is too drastic at this time, I am afraid that it will cause a backlash from the Zanbutai generals and cause a big trouble! In that case, we will not be able to ask His Majesty I’ve told you, the gain outweighs the loss, so you have to be cautious!”
Zhan Dui suddenly realized it and sighed: "The general is so brilliant, but the general is really beyond his reach!" Songhe asked Zhan Dui: "What is this secret letter about?"
Zhan Dui said quickly: "This was indeed intercepted by our patrol team. In the middle of last night, we had a patrol team ambushing in the woods outside the camp. They saw a man sneaking towards the military camp, so the patrol team Then he captured him. As soon as the man was caught, he shouted, saying that he was a confidant of Duosang and wanted to see Duosang for something important. The patrol took him into the military camp. It was also Buddha who wanted their treacherous plot to be exposed. When a group of them entered the camp gate, the general was patrolling the camp gate and happened to meet them. After listening to the patrol captain's report, he felt that something was a little strange, so he brought the 'Duosang's crony' to my tent. The interrogation will be detailed. I was really shocked during this interrogation. I didn’t expect that Na Duosang actually wanted to collude with Yan Yun to defeat our army so that His Majesty could remove him from the position of general!"
Songhe said solemnly: "If you put it this way, Duosang was not wronged in this matter!" Songhe originally thought that the so-called secret letter was just concocted by Zhan Dui, but he did not expect that the secret letter was actually obtained by him from Yanyun. Picked up from the courier. Zhan Dui said indignantly: "Duosang is so abominable. In order to achieve selfish goals, he even colludes with other places to harm his country's army!"
Song He frowned and said, "I'm afraid Duosang is not alone in this matter. Other generals from the Zanbutai line may also be involved!" Even so, he felt in his heart that Duosang and the others had opinions about him. , but there should be no collusion with King Yan. This might really be a countermeasure on the part of Yan Yun.
Zhan Dui was startled and said anxiously: "General, we have to arrest them all quickly!" Songhe glared at Zhan Dui and asked angrily: "Have you forgotten what I just said?" Zhan Dui For a moment, he remembered what Song Hyuk said just now about not intensifying conflicts, and he couldn't help but feel very depressed.
Songhe frowned and said: "This is definitely a big move, and there must be civil strife! If the Yanyun army takes the opportunity to counterattack, we will be defeated! Even if there is no false accusation by the generals of Zanbutai's line, Your Majesty will spare it." Can’t touch me!”
Zhan Dui said: "Well, there is only one way to go. Let's return to the snow mountain fortress first and figure out our internal affairs first!" Songhe hesitated a little, frowned and said: "Returning without success, Your Majesty How to explain it there! The position of the commander-in-chief of the expedition cannot be preserved either!"
Zhan Dui said: "This is not the fault of the general. It was all because Duosang and others tried to collude with foreign enemies, so they failed!" Songhe's eyes lit up and he said continuously: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it! "Then he burst out laughing. Songhe was still hesitant about whether to go or stay, but now he was completely relieved.
Song He looked thoughtful and said: "I thought of another way." Then a sinister smile appeared on the rough face, and he said to Zhan Dui: "I asked Hanon and the others to attack the city. They have to take practical actions to prove their innocence. Under this situation, they can't do anything if they don't fight hard!" Zhan Dui's eyes lit up and he praised: "The general is brilliant, even Zhuge Liang is nothing more than this!" Songhe laughed proudly. laughing out loud.
Hanon returned to his tent, frowned and thought for a moment, and then summoned the most trustworthy generals. Several generals paid tribute to Hanon, and Hanon said straight to the point: "I don't believe that Duosang would collude with the Yanyun people! He loves our country so much, and he would die a hundred times for our country. How can such a person do it?" Possibly colluding with the Yanyun Army?" All the generals nodded. The thin general sitting on the left frowned and said: "But General Songhe got the secret message from Yanyun. What is going on?" This man's name was Tashi Cairen, and he was also The generals of Zanbutai's line had a slightly lower status than Hanon.
The fat general sitting on Hanon's right said angrily, "What's not clear about this! That letter is completely fake, it was forged by Songhe and the others! As long as you are not a fool, you will know that this is definitely a fake. Yes! If General Duosang colluded with that King Yan, would he offer advice to Song He to ambush King Yan at the Four Sacred Mountains? In that battle, King Yan almost failed to escape!" Everyone nodded in agreement. , this fat man’s name is Yiduo.
Hanon frowned and said: "One thing is strange. Zhan Dui did catch a Yanyun messenger." The generals looked at each other, Yi Duo snorted and said angrily: "It must be a fake!" The generals believed it. Hanon nodded, but said: "I'm afraid this is not a lie. I asked someone to inquire. The messenger was indeed captured by the patrol from outside. Many people saw it." The generals looked at each other, Tashi Cairen was shocked. He said: "No, General Duosang really, really colluded with the Yanyun people, right?" Yiduo glared and cursed: "Fart!" Tashi Cairen felt that he had made a mistake, but he still felt like this in his heart Suspect. In fact, it wasn't just him, even Yiduo, who yelled and scolded him, couldn't help but have such thoughts, but he just didn't want to believe it.
Hanon glanced at everyone and said decisively: "I believe in Duosang!" Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Hanon frowned and said: "The current situation is obvious. The Yanyun Army deliberately sent such a secret envoy to provoke us to fight among ourselves, and General Songhe obviously wanted to use this opportunity to attack our subordinates, General Zanbu. We can't argue, but we can't sit still and wait for death!" The generals looked at each other, and Yiduo said loudly: "General Hanon, if you have any ideas, just tell me!"
Hanon asked everyone to pay attention, and then told him his plan. Some of the generals were very excited, while others showed uneasy expressions. …
Early in the morning, Yang Peng walked on the city wall accompanied by Ye Qi Guanyin. Yang Peng said: "I wonder how Songhe will react after getting this letter?" Yeli Guanyin smiled and said: "It should have some effect, at least it can delay some time. As long as it delays for some time, Yang Gui's army will When we arrive, Xiliang Mansion will be out of danger. At that time, whether we attack or defend, we will have a lot of room for maneuver. Unlike now, we can only defend with all our strength!" He paused and said with a smile: "Actually, this The strategy is very clumsy, if we had misjudged Song He’s character, this strategy might not have any effect!”
Yang Peng smiled and said: "The worst thing is that we don't want Xiliang Mansion anymore, but it's too early to say whether it will be successful or not!" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng with bright eyes and asked, "Are you willing to give up?" Yang Peng held Ye Qi's hand. Guanyin's slender hands said, half jokingly and half seriously: "You and I will never give up no matter what. Even if someone trades the whole world for it, I will not change it. I won't do it in this life, and I will definitely not do it in the next life, and I will definitely not give up in the next life!"
Ye Qi Guanyin was so excited that she held Yang Peng's hand tightly and said categorically: "I am committed to you in this life, and I will be your woman in the next life, and the next life after that!" She raised her eyebrows, "If you dare If you don't want me, I'll kill you!" There was an extremely firm tone in Ye Qi Guanyin's tone. If Yang Peng really abandoned her, I'm afraid she would be able to do anything.
Yang Peng patted his neck and said with emotion: "If the eldest brother is sorry for you, the eldest brother will take off this head himself!" There was a strange look in Ye Qi Guanyin's eyes, and then he snorted angrily and said angrily. He asked: "Why is there only this life, the next life and the next life? Don't you want me in the next life?" Yang Peng raised his eyebrows and blamed himself: "That's right! How can three lives be enough?" Then in Yeqi Guanyin whispered softly in her ear: "We will be together for eternity and eternity, until the end of the world and the end of the world! In every life, the eldest brother will come to you. You, don't ever think about running away. The eldest brother is hanging on to you!" Yedi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, with tenderness in her beautiful eyes, and said, "If you don't come to me, I will never let you go!"
Yang Peng stretched out the little finger of his right hand and said seriously: "We have an agreement!" Yeyi Guanyin also stretched out the little finger of his right hand, hooked it with Yang Peng's little finger, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "I, Yeyi Guanyin, swear here to live forever. As the eldest brother’s wife, if she violates her oath, she will be punished by heaven and earth, and her soul will disappear between heaven and earth forever!”
Yang Peng was deeply moved when he heard that her vow was so important. He couldn't help but hugged Ye Qi Guanyin into his arms and whispered in her ear: "No matter what happens in the future, even if I become a lonely soul, my eldest brother must still do it." Let’s go find you!” Ye Qi Guanyin was excited and hugged Yang Peng’s waist tightly with both hands.
The surrounding soldiers turned their heads one after another, not daring to look at Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin, but everyone was already used to such a scene.
Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin were warm to each other for a long time. They turned around and looked outside the city. They saw a stretch of barracks behind a hill. There was a ten-mile joint camp of the Tibetan army. Yang Peng smiled and said: "I wonder what the Tubo people are doing now?" Yeqi Guanyin smiled and said: "My strategy may not have any effect at all. After all, Songhe is not a fool!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "This of Guanyin The plan is a conspiracy, not to deceive Songhe, but to give Songhe an excuse. What we need to see now is whether Songhe is a real general who puts the interests of the country first, or is he just a man who values power most. Important bureaucrat.”
Ye Qi Guanyin nodded, looked at Yang Peng, and asked with a smile: "What kind of person does the elder brother think he will be?" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. The previous information cannot fully explain the problem. " He glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin and said with a smile: "Now we can only wait, wait for Songhe's performance, and see what kind of character he is!"
Yeqi Guanyin smiled slightly, then frowned and said: "If Songhe is a true general, he will definitely attack in a big way. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for us to hold on until Yang Gui's army comes to help!" Yang Peng said with a smile: " If this is the case, then just abandon Xiliang Mansion. I have already thought about it. If the worst happens, I will temporarily abandon Xiliang Mansion and the army will retreat westward to control Rouge Mountain and Xuanhua Mansion."
Yedi Guanyin nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Yang Peng, and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you unwilling to give up the entire Hexi Corridor?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "It's better not to give up unless you have to." Yedi Guanyin said. : "Brother is right."
The sound of rapid horse hooves came from outside the city. The two people couldn't help but look outside the city and saw a scout galloping towards them. The scout ran to the city gate and reined in his horse. The horse neighed and the man stood up. Immediately, the scout raised a token and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military situation!"
The city gate opened immediately, and the scouts rushed in. Immediately the city gate was closed, and the city gate captain stopped the scout at the city gate, pointed to the city gate tower above his head and said: "King Yan and the princess are on the city gate tower." When the scout heard this, he immediately got off his horse and a sergeant Came over and caught the reins of the horse. The scout ran up the city wall along the city wall ladder, then ran up the city gate tower, came to Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin, knelt down on one knee and said: "I pay homage to King Yan, and pay homage to the empress!"
Yang Peng said: "Get up and speak." "Thank you King Yan!" The scout stood up, still bowing his head, and reported: "To King Yan, several of my subordinates heard that something happened in the Tubo military camp last night. General Song Hyuk arrested Duosang!"
Yang Peng and Yedi Guanyin looked at each other. Yang Peng asked: "Is the news accurate?" The scout said: "It should be true. Several of my subordinates were hidden in the woods near the enemy's camp. How many enemy soldiers were there in the early morning this morning?" A patrol of cavalry passed by our hiding place, and we heard their discussion. Fortunately, one of us understands the Tibetan language, otherwise we would not know what they were talking about!"
Yang Peng looked at Yeqi Guanyin, and Yeqi Guanyin thought: "It should be true. The Tubo people don't know that we have several scouts hiding in that place, so how could they deliberately go to that place and say such things; besides, , The Tubo people know that few of us understand the Tubo language, and if they want to spread false news, they should speak Chinese instead of Tubo."
Yang Peng nodded and said to the scouts: "The information you have obtained is very important. I will notify you and credit your team of scouts with merit." The scouts were overjoyed and thanked them quickly. Yang Peng said: "Continue the investigation, pay attention to the information related to this matter, and report any new information immediately." The scout promised and ran down. A moment later, the sound of horse hooves sounded from under the city gate, and the scout galloped away. out and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Yang Peng smiled and said to Yedi Guanyin: "Guanyin, your strategy worked." Yedi Guanyin smiled and said: "It seems that Songhe is not a real general!"
Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "While there is no war now, let's go shopping in the city and have a drink in the tavern." Ye Qi Guanyin showed an excited expression and said: "Okay, I'm afraid there won't be any The store is open." Yang Peng took Ye Di Guanyin's delicate hand and walked down, pretending to be majestic: "How dare they not open the door! If they don't open the door, I will order the guards to break the door open!" Ye Di Guanyin said with a smile: "That's it. What a bully is doing!" Yang Peng put his arm around Ye Qi Guanyin's slender waist and hugged her body. He picked up Ye Qi Guanyin's chin with the fingers of his left hand and said with a wicked smile: "I am the bully, and you are the wife I stole. !" Ye Qi Guanyin chuckled, rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "I robbed you, so it's almost the same!"...
Later that day, Yang Peng and Yedi Guanyin sat drinking in the largest tavern in Xiliang Mansion, sitting by the window on the second floor, with all the guards sitting around. However, the door of this restaurant was not broken open by Yang Peng. This restaurant had been opened a long time ago. After this period of time, the people of Xiliang knew that the Yanyun Army was strictly disciplined and would never dare to harass the people, so they never Most of the people have accepted Yan Yun's army, and all the shops are naturally open to do business with peace of mind. However, the Tibetan army is currently besieging the city, and the business of this restaurant is not very good. At this time in the past, this restaurant was basically full of guests, but at this time, on the second floor, apart from Yang Peng and others, there were only two guests. Judging from their attire, they should be local businessmen.
A fat middle-aged man stood up, left his seat, and walked towards Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin. At that moment, two guards stood up and stopped in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly bowed and said with a humble expression: "I am a local horse dealer. I wonder if I can meet your noble master?"
Yang Peng and Yedi Guanyin had stopped talking and looked at the middle-aged man. Yang Peng said, "Let him come over." When the two guards heard Yang Peng's words, they immediately stepped aside and returned to their seats.
The fat middle-aged man quickly came to the side of Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin, bowed humbly, and said in a low voice: "Little man Li Mingtong pays homage to King Yan, and pays homage to the princess!"
Yang Peng and Yedi Guanyin were slightly surprised. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Does Boss Li know us?" Li Mingtong said quickly, "This villain is just a lowly horse dealer. How can he be lucky enough to know King Yan and Princess Yan!" After a pause, he said, "However, King Yan's weapons are extraordinary, and his aura of kingship makes people unable to help but kneel down to worship. Not to mention this Xiliang city, or the whole world, I am afraid that only King Yan can have such courage. That’s why a villain can guess the identity of King Yan.”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "I have the aura of a king for you to see." He pointed to Ye Qi Guanyin beside him and asked with a smile, "Then what does the princess have for you to see?"
Li Ming said: "I don't dare to look at the Princess. The Princess is a fairy in the sky. She came down to earth to assist King Yan. From a distance, the villain can feel an aura that does not belong to this world. She is naturally the Princess. ." Yeqi Guanyin laughed and said: "You are as glib as a Han Chinese! Tell me, why do you come to see us? You can't just come to praise us, right?"
Li Mingtong was exposed by Ye Qi Guanyin and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is really clever!" Then he said with a sincere and excited face: "This villain can see the honorable faces of King Yan and the Empress." , It is true that my ancestors have accumulated good deeds for three lifetimes, but, I just don’t know if I am lucky enough to be able to serve King Yan and the Empress?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
