Back then, Boss Zhou's most powerful general, Wenwu's eldest brother Wen Yong, led his elite troops to attack the Northland for thousands of miles. They were originally planning to block the private armies of the Ma family and other aristocratic families in the Northland. However, for some reason, they were stopped from sniping. It turned into going deep into the north and heading straight towards Huanglong.
In fact, it is understandable that exchanging space for time will buy more time for Boss Zhou, but the disadvantage is that there will be a narrow escape.
Facts have proved that it was a total loss, and Wen Yong and his entire army were wiped out.
But just two days ago, a soldier from the Northland came to the army, Captain Yu Feng, who came over from Zhechong Mansion and was one of Boss Zhou's personal entourage.
According to Yu Feng, he met a person and an Orion half a month ago, which was also a coincidence.
The cause of the incident was that Yu Feng took several soldiers to hunt in the mountains. After going up the mountain, he met this hunter, gave him some money, and bought some prey and animal skins.
Seeing that Yu Feng and other soldiers were quite generous, Orion invited them to drink at his home in the mountains.
Originally they were just drinking and chatting, but this chat turned out to be an old story.
More than a year ago, Orion rescued a person named Chen Xiaojia.
And Chen Xiaojia was the flag officer who accompanied Wen Yong to raid the Ma family.
After the raid on the Ma family, Wen Yong and his men took out the Ma family's lair. The Ma family was almost wiped out. However, Wen Yong also suffered heavy losses. He was surrounded and suppressed by the private armies of various aristocratic families who came later, and the entire army was wiped out.
The corpses of thousands of people were thrown on the carriage, and then sent to the foot of the mountain. More than half of them were buried. Later, maybe it was too troublesome to think about it, and finally they were thrown at the foot of the mountain, thinking that the beasts in the mountain could gnaw these corpses. .
It happened that this hunter came down the mountain, and he was very courageous. He searched the corpses for something valuable or useful, and he saw a man who was not dead, Chen Xiaojia, who had a broken foot and was seriously injured.
Orion was also kind-hearted and carried Chen Xiaojia back to the mountains alone to take good care of him.
During this period, Chen Xiaojia asked Orion to go down the mountain to find out the news about who is the emperor now.
But Chen Xiaojia's injuries were too serious. He had a high fever all day long, and finally died.
It wasn't until Orion met Yu Feng and his group of soldiers going up the mountain that they started talking about it.
Yu Feng was also very sad, so he casually asked about Chen Xiaojia's situation, such as what he said and what the situation was like in that battle.
Chen Xiaojia did mention it, and he didn't mention it less. Orion just said it exactly.
As a result, Yu Feng heard that something was wrong.
It turns out that Wen Yong did not initially prepare to raid the Ma family's territory, but because he met a person who provided very detailed information about the Ma family, the deployment of private soldiers, the raid route, etc.
Wen Yong was a veteran general. He didn't know how he confirmed that this was not a trap, so he finally decided to march dangerously deep into the Northland and attack Huanglong.
The strategic purpose is very straightforward. The Ma family is the most powerful family in the North. If the Ma family is wiped out, other families in the North will definitely be in chaos. The Ma family will also be leaderless, and the private soldiers in various pastures and pastures will have no one to lead.
According to Chen Xiaojia, Wen Yong said before taking everyone there that even if they had a narrow escape from death, even if they raided the Ma family, they would eventually be surrounded by private soldiers from other families and unable to escape.
In other words, the reason why Wen Yong was able to successfully raid the Ma family was partly because of his bravery and good fighting skills, but also mainly because of "intelligence". It was this intelligence that allowed Wen Yong and his people to successfully complete this feat.
But it was a bit redundant for him to do this. There was no need to buy any time. When Zhou Ke led his troops to the capital, Han Bairen had already taken control of the palace.
Yu Feng knew the truth back then, but he always felt that something was wrong. The person who gave this information was closely related to the Beidi family.
This means that it is very likely that a certain aristocratic family in the North used a knife to kill people, and used the hands of Wen Yong and others to get rid of the Ma family.
Yu Feng did not dare to delay, so he rode into the capital alone on a fast horse and reported the matter to the emperor. The Orion arrived shortly after and was secretly taken to the capital by Yu Feng's men.
Wen Yong's death has always been a pain in Zhou Ke's heart.
On the surface, it seems that many aristocratic families in the North participated in the encirclement and suppression of Wen Yong and others.
But at this stage, Boss Zhou has no way to eradicate all of them and avenge Wen Yong.
But if there is another hidden secret in this matter, if Wen Yong is being used, if he is being used by his family, Zhou Ke will make up his mind to avenge Wen Yong as soon as possible.
"Understood."
Han You also had great admiration for Wen Yong, whom he had never met before. Even though he knew he would die, he still wanted to buy time for Boss Zhou. Such a fierce and loyal man should seek justice for him.
Moreover, this matter also involved other aspects. According to Boss Zhou's plan at the time, he only blocked the Ma family and bought time for the Ma family to retreat, rather than destroying the Ma family's base camp.
This is also the irreconcilable hatred between the two brothers of the Ma family and Boss Zhou. From the perspective of the two brothers of the Ma family, they probably thought that Boss Zhou was just trying to get rid of the problem. It was impossible for Boss Zhou to personally explain this matter.
But if we find out who was used by Wen Yong back then, not to mention resolving conflicts, we can at least find out the bastard behind the scenes.
"I will take care of the household affairs as soon as possible. If Your Majesty is not afraid of arousing too many officials' suspicion..."
Boss Zhou interrupted Han You, his eyes twitching slightly: "I can't even get justice from Paoze, who the hell cares what a bunch of winebags and ricebags think, go ahead, finish the household errands, prepare the ceremony for me Sword Guards, investigate the dead soldiers in the South, protect the ministers in the capital, and at the same time send people to the North to find out the whole story."
At this point, Boss Zhou turned around with a little helplessness in his eyes: "Han You, I won't hide it from you. There are many people I can trust, but these people are not as smart as you. Regarding Wen Yong's matter back then, even if I don't know where to start the investigation, and I can't leave this huge palace to investigate. Even the civil and military officials can't leave the sight of the foreign ministers. Brother Yu can only ask you to investigate this matter for me. No matter how much time it takes, it will still be done. No matter how much money you spend, you can just earn it back, do you understand?"
Han You sighed: "It would be better if you didn't add the last sentence."
Boss Zhou laughed dumbly, but his smile was a little bitter, and he patted Han You on the shoulder.
"Go and find out the truth for me, Zhou Ke, for Wenwu, and for Wenyong. I will not let go of all the people who besieged and killed Wenyong back then, and I will call the people who used Wenyong all the nine tribes. die!"
"Understood. I'll deal with Zhang Tongju's group as soon as possible. Give me some time."
"I understand, go ahead and don't tie your hands any longer."
Han You hummed and then saluted and walked into the rain.
The rain still didn't stop, and Han You walked in silence, unable to figure out the source of his myriad of things.
Zhang Tongju's matter was easy to handle. Huang had already made it clear. All he had to do was perfect the details.
As for Zhou Tianfeng from the south sending dead soldiers to Beijing, it is not a troublesome thing. If there are enough manpower, it can be prevented no matter what.
Only in the case of Wen Yong, there are no clues except the memories of an old hunter. Just knowing that such a person tipped off Wen Yong. There are so many aristocratic families in the North and so many interests involved. Where should this start? Check it out?
After walking outside the palace, Han You also figured it out.
Let's do things one by one. Kill Zhang Tongju and his group first.
