Chapter 4 Qiancheng (Part 6) Yang Guang's sword and Lai Hu'er's official authority have a far greater effect on the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp than on the soldiers of the Xiongwu camp. Especially when they find that Lai Hu'er, Yu Wenshi and five others are following behind them.
When thousands of reinforcements arrived, many soldiers in the imperial camp took the initiative to put down their weapons and let go of the camp gate that they had defended to the death a quarter of an hour ago.
The brothers from the Xiongwuying camp cheered and swarmed in. "The emperor has promised to provide justice to everyone. General Yuwen is going to kill his relatives out of justice!" The brothers who came later quickly passed the good news to Paoze, who had previously blocked the gate of the imperial camp.
With a bit of distrust, Qin Xingshi took the initiative to hand over the command of the troops. With Yang Guang's emperor's sword and his personal guarantee to protect his son, he couldn't help but choose not to compromise.
"You and Lieutenant Cui will lead the brothers in your headquarters to surround the imperial camp. If you don't have my order, kill every one who escapes!" Yu Wenshiji glanced at Qin Xingshi and deliberately raised the order a little higher to appease the soldiers.
, as for whether Qin Xingshi's previous actions violated military laws, he had no time to investigate.
"Lieutenant Zhang, you order five hundred brothers to follow me into the camp to capture people. Anyone who resists will be killed!" After Cui Qian and Qin Xingshi were pushed away, Yuwen Shiji turned his head to Zhang Xiu again, his eyes full of expectation for him.
The latter's full cooperation is needed. Whether the Yuwen family can survive this hurdle depends on whether Zhang Xiu can do it.
Living up to his hint, Zhang Xiu tried his best to select among his troops those who had little connection with the Yuwen family and who were extremely loyal to his coach. Among them, more than forty people were even the children of his hometown recruited by Zhang Xiu himself.
Inspired by the story of Li Xu and Zhang Xiu, those who came to seek fame in the army had seen the general's brocade robe, but they had not seen the blood stains and dirt hidden under the brocade robe.
"Come, old general, please enter the camp with the Emperor's Sword and declare your Majesty's will!" After Zhang Xiu calmly arranged the formation, Yu Wenshiji first hugged his fists to the guardian, and then made a gesture of invitation.
"Yes, that's fine!" Lai Hu'er nodded and strode into the depths of the imperial camp. Seeing the Emperor's Sword in his arms, many officers took the lead and knelt down. Zhang Xiuze ordered people according to the marks on the armors of everyone in the camp.
Pick up those who are higher than the captain and put them at the end of the team
Seeing Yu Wenshiji personally leading the army into the camp to capture people, Huaji, Zhi and his brothers suddenly lost their backbone. They knew that the situation was over, so they did not dare to use their arms as a chariot, so they obediently opened the incense table in the middle of the army.
"According to reports from loyal soldiers, Yuwen Wenji, Zhihe and brothers colluded with individual imperial camp generals to sell grain supplies to the enemy. The emperor ordered the navy commander to come to protect the children. Yuwenshi, the commander of the Xiongwu camp, and all those involved were captured and immediately escorted into the prison.
Palace, your Majesty will personally interrogate you!" Lai Hu'er finished reciting Yang Guang's oral instructions neatly, held up the emperor's sword with both hands, and held the country's head high.
"Impossible, didn't my father ask for mercy in front of His Majesty?" Yuwen Zhiji was so frightened that his body softened and he collapsed in front of the incense table. Before he could continue to argue, his voice was immediately drowned out by a lot of cries of injustice.
Swallowed, "Unjustly accused, old general, we didn't know anything about it!" "I am unjustly accused!" The other dudes who were mixed up in the army to gain fame immediately lost the domineering energy they had when chasing Zhao Ziming, and they cried and howled.
more than
"Since Your Majesty said he would interrogate himself, he would not wrongly accuse an innocent person!" Lai Huer couldn't bear the cowardice of these nephews. He snorted coldly, put the Emperor's Sword on the incense table, and turned around to leave the tent.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that came to Yuwen's door, he hit Yuwen's family hard, which really made him feel happy. But since Yuwen Shiji could still gain Yang Guang's trust, Laihu'er didn't want to do things too far, so he deliberately took the first step.
In order to avoid witnessing the Yuwen family brothers killing each other and embarrassing both parties.
"Tie up everyone above the captain and escort them into the palace. The others will be locked up in the camp and await the summons at any time!" Yu Wenshiji's face was as cold as ice, and the voice coming out of his throat did not contain any emotion when he heard the general's order.
Zhang Xiu and his men rushed forward quickly, pulling up the generals who were still lying on the ground crying out for injustice one by one, and tied them with ropes.
"You have been wronged, we have been wronged!" More than twenty captains, a dozen other generals, lieutenants, and soldiers were all in tears. They did not dare to resist, and allowed Zhang Xiu's soldiers to tie them up like sheep and lead them out of the middle.
Someone in the army walked a little too slowly and was immediately punched and kicked by the brothers from the Xiongwu Camp.
"Let you hack Captain Wu to death!" "Let you hunt down Zhao Canjun!" "Let you wear armor better than us!" Many people took the opportunity to avenge themselves and beat the kidnapped until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
Seeing his colleagues around him being kidnapped one after another, Yuwen Zhiji was frightened. He crawled forward a few steps and hugged Yuwen Shiji's legs. "Second brother, please help me. I know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
Dare you!"
Hearing his brother's cry, Yuwen Shiji couldn't hold his face any longer, tears rolled down his face, "You still know you were wrong! The entire Yuwen family has been harmed by you two. Grandpa is still apologizing in front of His Majesty at this time. This
How can the crime of betraying one's country and seeking glory be easily forgiven?"
Yuwen Zhiji usually hated his second brother for being wordy, so he didn't dare to talk back at this moment. He just hugged the other person's thigh and kept crying. Yuwen Zhiji, however, was a bachelor. He stepped forward and pushed him, yelling loudly.
, "Why are you crying? If you cry, will he have the guts to help you? After the two of us die, he will be the only one left in the Yuwen family. If he doesn't add insult to injury now, you should recite the Buddha's name, and you still wish he could come."
save you!"
"Brother, what are you talking about? I just heard about this and I wish I could use my own life to take the blame for you two!" Yu Wenshiji wiped away his tears and choked up his defense.
"In fact, in the end, it was you who came to arrest us and bring them to justice! A real man can do things for himself. Apart from Zhiji and me, and a few soldiers of our Yuwen family, there is no one else involved in the case. You can just go ahead and arrest us both."
Don't make things difficult for my brothers!" Yu Wenhuaji refused to listen to his brother's explanation. He put his hands behind his back and strode up to Zhang Xiu, "Tie, Captain Zhang, congratulations on your great contribution!"
"How offended the general is!" Zhang Xiu first saluted Yu Wenhuaji, then personally held a rope and stood behind the confessor. His stature was far less than that of Yu Wenhuaji, and he almost had to raise his feet to hold it.
The moment the rope was placed and passed under Yu Wenhua's armpits, Zhang Xiu whispered into Yu Wenhua's ears in a very low voice: "Uncle Mao instigated, Zheng Lu led the string, you are just being deceived!"
After saying that, he quickly pulled his head away from Yu Wenhua and his ears, and shouted to all the people: "Everyone just escaped from death. Logically speaking, Zhang should not embarrass you, but he has his own destiny, so he dare not disobey you."
Don’t worry, the emperor has a right to tell you the truth, and don’t talk nonsense when you meet him!”
"Hmph, you think we are the folk shrews!" Yu Wenhuaji snorted coldly and strode towards the tent. The moment he turned around, he stepped on Zhang Xiu hard with the heel of his boot.
Pain rushed to Zhang Xiu's head along with ecstasy. He knew that Yu Wenhuaji had understood his hint and handed over the task of binding other generals to a lieutenant under his command, and walked into the side of the Chinese army with his absolute direct descendants.
Another leather tent behind
In the meeting room reserved exclusively for direct descendants of the Yuwen family, several close friends of the family were in a mess. Seeing Zhang Xiu enter, they immediately gathered around him, "Zhang Duwei, you have to tell the second young master to let him save the world."
Save me!" Yu Wenmao, Yu Wenming's distant uncle and his personal aide, was the first to say that because he usually moved around a lot, he was very familiar with Zhang Xiu and knew that the other party was a confidant of the family head who had personally conquered him and could be used as backup at critical moments.
"Keep your voice low, don't let people outside hear that the Duke of Guo has been kept as a hostage by the Emperor. The Second Young Master is not allowed to act rashly. He asked me to ask you, what is going on? Who is involved? How many people know the details?"
Zhang Xiu looked around cautiously, first ordered his cronies to hold the account, and then asked in a very low voice
"It's a long story. At first, everyone thought they couldn't defend this place, so they followed the Duke's order to find a way out for themselves!" Yu Wenmao didn't dare to hide anything and reported in a voice as loud as a gnat.
"To make a long story short, are we just one family? Where are the other ministers in the court?" Zhang Xiu frowned and urged.
"In the beginning, ten peace orders were exchanged, Master Pei took the lead, Master Yu also had a share, but they were so cunning that they did not send any confidants to participate in the specific transaction. When the second young master entered the city, they suggested that everyone stop, but the price offered by the Turks was real.
The temptation, Third Young Master, cannot resist..."
"It's ridiculous. If the Turks asked you to open the city gate, you would do it too? How come you don't know about the Second Young Master for such a big thing? We can't even take care of you!" Even though he had guessed it in advance, Zhang Xiu was still worried about the deal.
The transaction shocked Pei Ji, Yu Shiji, and Yu Wenshu. These three people were all leading figures in the civil and military circles of the Sui Dynasty. However, in the face of danger, what they thought of was how to betray the Sui Dynasty in exchange for their own safety.
He felt a chill in his heart, but he had to put a kind smile on his face. This was the unique skill that Yu Wenshu "taught" to him personally. On the day when he was tempted to reveal the relationship between his mentor Yang Fuzi and Li Xu, Yu Wenshu had a smile on his face.
Wearing the same smile, looking the same trustworthy
"How can it be? We only sell things and don't open the city gate!" Yu Wenjie, another distant relative of the Yuwen family, saw Zhang Xiu's confident look and felt relieved. He replied with a playful smile, "The master and the prince also had good intentions at first, and prepared
Leave a way for everyone to survive. As for the Second Young Master and you, I have specifically warned you that the Second Young Master is too kind-hearted and is not suitable for doing these things!"
"Oh, if we had let the Second Young Master and me know, there wouldn't have been such a big mess. How did the people in the Xiongwu Camp know about the situation? What evidence was stolen?" Zhang Xiu stamped his feet and complained with pretense of annoyance.
"It was an account book. It was supposed to be destroyed. But I don't know where those people from Xiongwu Camp got the information. They dared to come and steal it. However, they didn't get any advantage. More than 20 people came and only escaped alive.
Three to go!”
"Everyone who escapes is troublesome, Uncle Jie. Go and find all the people in our family who know about it. Everyone will pretend to be my soldiers in this tent. After the guardian is gone, I will take you to leave quietly!"
"Your Majesty is always careful when doing things. Almost all the people who know about it are here. There are also a few soldiers who are confused and can't say anything if they are caught. Why is it that Captain Zhang can't worry about them?" Yu Wenmao took the initiative and took the initiative.
It is reported that if they can escape from the imperial camp, everyone will not worry about finding a way out. The close friends of the Yuwen family are all over the world. They went out to lie dormant for a while, and everyone was still arrogant when they came back.
"In that case, everyone is going to change clothes, Uncle Jie. There is a brigade leader named Zheng Xin among the guards. You can also find him. The second master specially ordered him to be taken with him!" Zhang Xiu nodded and said again.
"I'll go right away. Thank you General Zhang for taking the trouble!" Yu Wenjie agreed repeatedly and walked out of the tent. "Zhang Xiu is a good boy. It's not in vain that I cultivated him once." He thought proudly and walked to the soldiers.
He called out the anxious brigade leader Zheng Xin from the military tent and took him with him to find Zhang Xiu to recover his life.
"What do Lieutenant Zhang want to do with me?" Zheng Xin, the brigade commander, looked confused and asked suspiciously. He was just an ordinary soldier brigade commander, not a confidant of Yuwen Shiji, and had never been involved in the secret affairs of the family.
Lai Huer entered the camp to catch people, and all the lower-level soldiers hid in the military tent. As a small brigade leader, he also stayed in his tent honestly, fearing that he would be burned if he was not careful.
Many unforeseen disasters often occur without any clues. "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Second Young Master ordered you personally!" Yu Wenjie replied proudly, and at the same time quickened his pace. There were several people who could be favored by Second Young Master.
The rise to greatness? Think of that Zhang Xiu, who was just a pawn at first, but within a few years he reached the rank of fifth-level military officer. If the second young master personally called my name...Dreaming sweet dreams, he unknowingly returned to the previous military tent.
Zhang Xiu, who was standing at the door, was already a little impatient. When he saw the two coming back, he frowned and ordered, "Hurry up and change clothes. You must be on the road before dawn, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Hey, hey, I've bothered you for waiting!" Yu Wenjie in front of Zhang Xiu immediately changed his expression and humbly agreed. There was no one else in the tent, and several of Zhang Xiu's soldiers were holding two sets.
The clothes were waiting. Not wanting to bother each other too much, Yu Wenjie and Zheng Xin took the clothes from the soldiers and hurriedly put them on.
The clothes that had just been taken off from the soldiers still had body temperature. They felt warm to the touch, but they were a little tight. Yu Wenjie tugged hard on his chest, but found that something was wrong with him. He used the clothes in the middle of the tent to
The torch looked carefully again, and what caught his eye was a ball of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the tip of a knife emerged from the old bloodstain, adding another touch of red to his clothes. Yu Wenjie felt that all the strength in his body was slowly disappearing. When he was dying, he turned his head unwillingly and saw Zhang Xiu with his hands behind his back.
