(Some brothers feel that there is a problem with Ge Boyi's image, but the real history is actually more unbearable than imagined, and I may not have the courage to write about it...)
If it could be proven that Zhu Hang or someone close to Zhu Hang had defected to the enemy, how important it would be for the Ge family to shirk responsibility for the defeat, Ge Boyi could think clearly on his toes.
At that time, the Ge family could be said to be complete victims. Hundreds of clan members died when Zhu Hang surrendered to the enemy. The eldest son, Ge Huaicong, was bitten by Zhu Hang and shot to death in public under Shuozhou City. He, Ge Boyi, also became a
Prisoner below the stairs.
As long as it is confirmed that Zhu Hang surrendered to the enemy, the Ge family will bear a huge injustice and win the sympathy of the government and the public.
However, Ge Boyi also knew very well that just because Zhu Hang miraculously brought more than 10,000 remnants of the Tianxiong Army back from Datong, he could not question Zhu Hang or those around him who had defected to the enemy.
This will only further infuriate those who want to accuse Ge Boyi.
At this moment, Ge Boyi was like grabbing a straw before drowning. He did not care about his propriety at all. He knelt down to Yue Hailou in the prison and even wanted to lick his mouth clean of the thick phlegm that had been hardened to Yue Hailou.
Lose.
On the one hand, Guo Zhongxiong was surprised by Yue Hailou's rhetoric and even questioned the possibility of Zhu Hang surrendering to the enemy. On the other hand, he was even more surprised by Ge Boyi's extremely difficult posture at this time.
Is this the majestic prince of Dai Viet?
There was no accident at Yue Hai Tower. Ge Huaicong was a commander and a waiter. As a senior general, he was as timid as a mouse. Which of them was not the confidant and nephew brought out by Ge Boyi? Which one of them had any integrity at all?
He sat on the dirt floor in the corridor of the cell again and asked Ge Boyi: "Jing Lue, can you talk to Yue now?"
Ge Boyi came over eagerly and asked: "Zhu Hang was a famous prime minister in Dayue, and he was lucky enough to marry a county lord. He served as an upright official in Jingjiang Prefecture, and then he had conflicts with local officials and abandoned his official position and returned to the capital." Boyi heard that the official family
I admire Zhu Hang quite a lot, and this time I sent him and Wang Fan to Hedong, intending to appoint him. If I rashly say that Zhu Hang has surrendered to the enemy, I'm afraid the officials will not believe it first, right?"
"Of course, if we directly say that Zhu Hang has defected to the enemy, let alone the officials, it is unlikely that the officials and I will believe it. But what if someone around Zhu Hang surrenders to the enemy and secretly kidnaps Zhu Hang?" Yue Hailou
He leaned against the wooden gate of the cell and asked Ge Boyi.
"Who should it be?" Ge Boyi was more critical at this time, who could be blamed for such a huge crime.
"Have the envoys heard what General Xiao Ge said about Yaksha Fox Xu Huai?" When Yue Hailou fled to Shuozhou with Ge Huaicong, he wanted to put more blame on Zhu Hang and did not mention it much.
Xu Huai.
At that time, in their minds, they didn't think Xu Huai, a small character, could take any blame.
However, after careful consideration, many things were fishy.
The troops who oversaw the military envoy followed the forward army into Datong. They were nominally headed by Zhu Hang. Under Zhu Hang there were two military lords, Xu Wukun and Lu Wenhu. Pan Chenghu was the main force of the Tianxiong army and was appointed king of Fan after they entered Datong City.
When he was ordered to arrive, Xu Huai led 200 guards to accompany him.
It seems that Xu Huai was completely obedient to Zhu Hang, and Zhu Hang personally admitted that the construction of the road to the city was his secret order.
However, Yue Hailou knew very well that since Xu Huai was a combination of Yaksha Fox and Manghu, he was definitely not someone Zhu Hang could control or control.
Yue Hailou must tell him. He would rather believe that it was the people in Tongbai Mountain who saw the fear of defeat first, so they hid Zhu Hang's secrets and built a road to the city near the northwest corner tower without permission. It was not until the last moment that Zhu Hang told him, Ge Huaicong and others
It's just what people say.
In the west city of Datong, in order to facilitate discussions, Zhu Hang mostly lived directly in the palace and rarely went to the military envoy's residence downstairs in the northwest corner. When the imperial envoy requested to be responsible for the security of the northwest corner, Xu Wukun directly asked Ge Huaicong
It was pointed out that when the North City Gate fell, the two hundred soldiers guarding the North City Wall wanted to withdraw, but Xu Huai intercepted them without authorization.
Yue Hailou knew all these details and could all correspond to his guesses.
"When Huaicong returned, he briefly mentioned this person. Wang Zhen was able to escape from the Tongbai Mountain bandits unharmed, and the Lanzhou army soldiers were in trouble because of the grain. It seems that they are all related to this child?" Ge Boyi said many things.
He still knew, but he had never trusted such a small person. He only knew a lot of things speciously, and he was not very sure about it. He had not even studied in detail the involvement of the people in Tongbai Mountain and Jing Shengjun.
"Xu Huai is the son of Xu Wuxuan. I wonder if the envoy has any impression of Xu Wuxuan?" Yue Hailou asked again.
"Wang Xiaocheng's personal guard battalion commander?" Ge Boyi asked uncertainly.
"Yes, Xu Wuxuan was the commander of Wang Xiaocheng's personal guard camp, and Xu Wukun, the Marquis of Yuyu who was in charge of Wang Fan's military mission, as well as Xu Wuliang, Zhou Jing, Xu Sheng and others who were closely related to Xu Huai at this time, including Wang
The Lu Xiong next to me was a military official under Wang Xiaocheng. They were originally Tongbaishan bandits, but Wang Xiaocheng surrendered and became his confidants when he was out of Tangzhou. After Wang Xiaocheng died, they all left the Jingsheng Army and returned.
"Tongbai Mountain," Yue Hailou said, "for more than ten years, they have been unknown, but when Wang Zhen was demoted to Tangzhou, they suddenly became active. Although there are many letters sent to the court from Tangzhou,
This is an understatement, but I can clearly tell the envoy here that the bandits in Tongbai Mountain can be wiped out, and it was these people who did it! Afterwards, Wang Zhen was transferred to Lanzhou Stone Field, and they also escorted him all the way. This can be said that they are
They did something loyal and righteous, but the problem was that after they escorted Wang Zhen to Lanzhou, they did not leave. They even deployed forces in Lanzhou in the name of Zhufengtang and used Liangguxiao to cause trouble to help Wang Zhen seize power. They were the only ones
Small tricks..."
"Marquis Yue wants to say that they have another purpose?" Ge Boyi asked, "But I'm surprised. What purpose could they have? It's impossible to avenge Wang Xiaocheng, right? They were insignificant in the Jingsheng Army back then.
As characters, will it be their turn to avenge Wang Xiaocheng?"
Yue Hailou was frightened.
Xu Huai had so many doubts and puzzles in his heart since he accepted Yaksha Fox, but what happened these days was so dizzying and confusing for him that he had no time to sort it all out.
This time, he really felt the threat from everyone in Tongbai Mountain, and he didn't feel that if the blame for the defeat was put all on the Ge family and his son, Cai Xi would be safe and sound, so he wanted to find out from Ge Boyi.
The detailed process of capturing the army at Shuozhou.
This was also a serious sorting out for him.
And Ge Boyi's words at this time were like a bolt of lightning, suddenly splitting open the fog that had been blocked by too many doubts and incomprehensions in his heart.
motivation!
Yes, what is the motivation for everyone in Tongbai Mountain to do so many things?
What was Xu Huai's motive for trying every possible means to conceal his true identity, even showing off his stupidity to others in Tongbai Mountain since he was a child?
Especially the latter, Yue Hailou has been wondering for the past few days. Why would a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy who grew up in Tongbai Mountain hide his frightening intelligence since childhood?
Now it seems that the only explanation is to conceal his true life experience and avoid attracting their attention!
The child who died in the Black Wind Valley of Guanlui Mountain was stolen and replaced! This also explains the puzzling motives of everyone in Tongbai Mountain!
And isn’t Zhufeng Villa, the first place where everyone from Tongbai Mountain settled in Guanju Mountain, located near Black Wind Valley?
With so many clues, why had I turned a blind eye before?
"Guo Langjun, you immediately send people to Tangzhou to see Dong Cheng and ask him to immediately detain Chen Qi for trial! He may be an accomplice of Xu Huai and others!" Yue Hailou suddenly thought about many things, regardless of Ge
Boyi was present and asked Guo Zhongxiong to arrange for people to rush to Tangzhou to report the news.
"Marquis Yue is Chen Qi, the commander of Tangzhou's army? What's wrong with him?" Ge Boyi asked.
Yue Hailou asked in confusion: "Have you heard of this character, too?"
"Chen Qi was responsible for escorting grain and fodder from Tangzhou to Taiyuan, but after arriving in Taiyuan, he suddenly disappeared. As a result, two battalions of Xiang troops from Tangzhou were stranded in Taiyuan and could not return, and they did not know what happened. After arriving in Lanzhou
The subordinates reported this to me before, and I only remembered that there was such a number one person." Ge Boyi said.
Two battalions of Tangzhou Xiang troops were stranded in Taiyuan City when the Northern Expedition was about to begin. Of course, the officials responsible for contacting Taiyuan did not dare to be careless, but they reported it to Ge Boyi, who did not take it seriously, and the matter was delayed.
Neither Yue Hailou nor Guo Zhongxiong knew about this matter.
"Chen Qi's original name was Xu Wu Qi. He once served as the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion under Wang Xiaocheng. We have always mistakenly believed that he was at odds with everyone in Tongbai Mountain. After the bandit rebellion in Tongbai Mountain, Chen Qi defected to Dong Cheng, the prefect of Tangzhou.
Appointed as an official in the state government office!" Yue Hailou knelt down in panic and asked Ge Boyi, "Jing Lue Shi, do you still think that all this is a coincidence?"
"What does this have to do with them secretly surrendering to the enemy?" Ge Boyi asked.
"What if Xu Huai is not the son of Xu Wuxuan, but the son of Wang Xiaocheng?" Yue Hailou asked.
"How is it possible?" Guo Zhongxiong asked in shock, "After Wang Xiaocheng was executed, weren't his wife and children robbed by the generals and died in Guanlui Mountain long ago?"
Guo Zhongxiong was not a party involved at that time, but the murder of Wang Xiaocheng and his wife and children for the family was a public case that shocked the world. Especially the death of Wang Xiaocheng's wife and children was a case committed by Lanzhou Prefectural Government. He went to Lanzhou to serve.
I have read the relevant files.
However, Guo Zhongxiong thought again: What if the death of Wang Xiaocheng's wife and children was not a robbery but a premeditated ambush. Someone had anticipated this before the ambush and randomly replaced Wang Xiaocheng's son with a young child.
Come down, then everything will be explained!
Over the years, there have been rumors that Wang Xiaocheng's wife and children were ambushed and killed by Cai Qing.
Guo Zhongxiong looked at Yue Hailou in shock.
Yue Hailou was an eyewitness to what happened at that time. He was even the first to stand up to support Cai Qing and then brought Wang Xiaocheng under control. Yue Hailou should know best whether the death of Wang Xiaocheng's wife and children was a robbery or an ambush.
of.
Yue Hailou didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly at the huge confusion in Guo Zhongxiong's eyes to show that his guess was good. He turned to Ge Boyi and said: "Jinglue should be able to understand all this now - back then
If it weren't for the support of the military envoy, Prime Minister Cai would not have been able to ask Wang Xiaocheng to execute him..."
