Meng Tian left the commander's tent, preparing to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Ye, dispatching manpower, and setting up the ambush site.
However, during the walk, Meng Tian's brows were always squeezed together, with no intention of relaxing at all.
He always felt something was wrong.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with Wang Ye's statement.
The secret letter sent by the king himself cannot be false. Although due to military law, he is not qualified to read the content, but since the king sent the letter, it must be important.
Li Si's identity is true, and he has the scepter in his hand. He is indeed a guest of Lu Buwei's house, and he can be counted as one of Lu Xiang's faction. As for what Wang Yan said about being greedy for life and afraid of death, it is normal.
He also interrogated the soldier who sent the letter under the guise of Wang Yan, and the answer he got was that he was indeed sending the secret letter to Yongcheng.
Of course, the credibility of this is average. He is Wang Yan's personal soldier, and he has not seen the letter.
But it’s still a minor problem.
The most serious question in Meng Tian's opinion now is, why did Wang Yan tell him the truth and produce the king's secret letter?
He knew in his heart that he was just a Qian Chang, and his status as a member of the Meng family qualified him to peek into the royal family's scandals, but this did not mean that Wang Ye had to tell him.
Even if he was chasing after him, as the commander-in-chief, he could have arrested him with a military order. Why should he tell the truth and give himself a fair share of the credit?
The relationship between my family and Wang Ye is not that good...
Moreover, even the existence of something like the King's secret letter should not be leaked. Since it was sent to him, Wang Ye, he must keep this secret, otherwise he will be held accountable according to law.
What problems are hidden in it that I didn't expect?
Apart from Wang Yan's statement, Meng Tian can't think of another reasonable explanation now.
He felt that he still lacked some information...
There is only one young master in Qin... he calls himself Young Master Shang...
With the last bit of confusion that he couldn't see through, Meng Tian could only follow Wang Ye's instructions to arrange the ambush.
At least for now, the other party is still his superior.
………………
After everything was prepared and the manpower arrangements were completed, Wang Yan, Meng Tian, and Li Si went up to the general stage and waited for Mr. Shang to arrive.
The General Pointing Platform, also known as the Soldier Pointing Platform, can only be used in two situations: when the army is deployed, when a real war is going to begin with someone, and when a full-army drill is conducted (pure nonsense).
Nowadays, there is no need to do either of these things, so if it is built, it is just for show, purely for decoration.
But now it comes into play.
Except for the commander-in-chief of the army and officials similar to inspection and supervision, no one else is qualified to come up here.
Even Meng Tian, a Qian Chang Lai, was given special permission by Wang Jie.
Li Si is an envoy, and he has a scepter in his hand, so he can come up naturally.
As for Gai Nie, the guard, after all, he is the chief swordsmanship instructor of the King of Qin, and his status is considered noble. There is no problem in being a general.
Moreover, as a high disciple of Guigu, he is also theoretically proficient in the art of war, so it is appropriate to ask him to direct troops at this point.
The reason why Wang Yan invited people was naturally to have a banquet, but the explanation he gave was to invite Gai Nie and the envoy Li Si, except Ying Zheng.
He is the King of Qin, who is qualified to invite him?
So it seems okay not to invite him.
The time is dusk and evening, a suitable time for dinner. The general ordering platform is located on the west side behind the camp, next to the military tent.
The west-slanting sun was shining directly on the high platform, and its dim orange light spread on the ground. Wang Yan and Meng Tian were standing on the edge of the high platform looking at the road leading here, while Li Si was sitting peacefully at the arranged dining table.<
/p>
Not long after, Gai Nie's thin figure appeared at the end of the road against the setting sun, but to Wang Yan's surprise, Mr. Shang's white clothes also appeared.
Bang!
Wang Ye slapped the railing and said bitterly, "Damn it, why did Mr. Shang come with you too!?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Li Si, who was sitting calmly, and asked with a frown, "Have they noticed something?"
Li Si waved his hand and signaled Wang Ye to calm down, "General, don't be impatient. Gai Nie has always acted cautiously and never strayed a step away from Mr. Shang. Now it is normal that he does not want to leave Mr. Shang to go to the banquet alone."
"As long as Gu Xun and his group haven't made any move, it means Mr. Shang hasn't become suspicious yet."
After hearing Li Si's explanation, Wang Yan felt a little calmer.
Meng Tian asked from the side:
"General, since things have changed, do you want to give up the ambush operation?"
Wang Ye waved his hand and rejected Meng Tian's proposal, "No, how can we not fire the arrow when it is on the string? Even if it doesn't move, it will scare the grass and scare the snake, so it is better to fight."
"But... the manpower ambushed here right now is afraid that they won't be able to capture Gai Nie in a short time!" Meng Tian reminded in a worried voice.
He mainly wanted to delay Wang Ye's plan because he still had some issues that he had not figured out.
Wang Yan clenched his teeth as he looked at Ying Zheng and Gai Nie who were gradually walking in.
Of course he is aware of Meng Tian's concerns, but if this action fails and the other party is alerted, the person he will probably face next time is not just Gai Nie.
"Master Li, you are so calm, do you have any clever ideas?" At the critical moment, Wang Yan turned to Li Si, a gentle man, for advice.
The main reason is that he has a calm look on his face, which makes people unconsciously believe that he must have a countermeasure.
"Oh, don't worry, General."
Li Si raised the corner of his mouth and showed a confident smile, "Gane is a pure swordsman. Most of his strength lies in his sword. As long as his weapons are aside, he has nothing to worry about."
"And the place the general chose this time is also very suitable. There are just enough reasons."
"Master Li is really thoughtful and can think of this." Wang Ye felt that Li Si's arrangement was very suitable. "With my general here, plus Meng Tian and a group of soldiers, it is no problem to take down Gai Nie without weapons.
”
"Then let Meng Tian do it." Turning to Meng Tian, Wang Yan once again handed over the work to him.
"As commanded."
Meng Tian had no reason to refuse, so he turned around and walked off the general platform while holding on to the hilt of his sword.
Li Si smiled when he saw this and still sat calmly.
Wang Ye glanced at him out of the corner of his eye - he always felt that Li Si was a little different now than before.
Shaking his head, Wang Ye put aside his unreasonable thoughts and focused all his attention on Gai Nie.
If he is unwilling to hand over his weapons, he may have to attack and kill the two of them by force.
"Please stop!" Meng Tian stopped Gai and Nie who were about to take the stage. During this period, he kept his hand on the hilt of his sword, always on guard.
"Please Mr. Guy hand over your sword."
Naturally, Gai Nie will not hand over his sword easily - this thing is like half a wife, how can it be easily faked in human hands?
Seeing this, Meng Tian emphasized:
"This is the military law of the Qin State. Outsiders are not allowed to bring weapons to the general's platform. Please hand over your sword, sir."
In the end, he did not forget to mention: "The envoy Mr. Li Si is also up there, Mr. Gai, please don't worry."
