Chapter 186: The inner guard is under great pressure, and the secret guard actually sent his wife!
"This person's status is not low, and he will definitely be able to ask a lot about the secret guards."
In the Xiliang Imperial City in Guzang County, the envoys came to the inner guard station to rest. Several important secret guard prisoners were naturally sent to the inner prison.
Jiao Er was the key subject of interrogation and was hung up with chains in the cell where Liniang and Jia Sibo had been.
Everyone was very excited, and Li Yan also had expectations, but he knew very well: "This person may not be a die-hard, but the interrogation must be skillful, and you must find a psychological breakthrough to get him to confess as quickly as possible!"
Yang Zaisi said: "Those Tuyuhun people had a surrender attitude before, and the other two secret guards were also recruited. Unfortunately, they didn't know any important information. They only obeyed this person. Unexpectedly, Tubo actually trusted him!"
Li Yan said: "This secret guard is different from the old Tuyuhun troops. He hates the Tang Dynasty for not helping in time, even more than the Tubo invasion."
Yang Zaisi understood: "This kind of people have obviously surrendered to the enemy and sacrificed their lives, but they want to find an excuse to comfort themselves. It will be even more difficult to open his mouth."
Li Yiyan nodded: "If he confesses, he will deny what he did before. Naturally, he will fight to the end."
Li Yan added: "I have talked with the third prince before. Since the secret guard came to him, he has mentioned the wealth of the Tang Dynasty more than once, with a greedy tone, and he is very coveted. It can be seen that if there is no Tibetan invasion, he will also
The group of Tuyuhun people who invaded the border."
Shen Juyuan said angrily: "Already the country has perished, but you are still greedy and will bring your own death. If you don't open your mouth, you will be beheaded in the city and the punishment will be official!"
Li Yan already had a plan on the way here and looked at Shen Juyuan: "Brother Juyuan, I want you to take action this time."
Shen Juyuan was startled and refused: "I don't bother to attack people who have no power to resist."
Qiu Shenji:?
Yang Zaisi smiled bitterly.
Li Yanxiao: "I'm not asking you to torture me, I'm just asking you some questions."
Shen Juyuan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't like those who are twisting and turning and have bad ideas as soon as they turn their eyes."
Li Yan:?
Yang Zaisi wanted to cover this guy's mouth.
Li Yan didn't care. Anyway, he never thought of bad ideas, but the wisdom of justice. He began to care: "When you go in later, you will say this..."
Shen Juyuan listened to it several times and scratched his head: "These are just verbal stimulations. Will the Tibetan thieves explain it?"
Li Yan smiled: "I will come forward at the right time and use a small interrogation technique. Of course, any interrogation requires a certain amount of luck. If the person is extremely determined, we can only force it..."
"You might as well give it a try. Brother Juyuan is straightforward and has an obvious military atmosphere. It's just right for an interrogation first!"
Shen Juyuan nodded: "That's good!"
Yang Zaisi looked on, his eyes moving slightly: "Yuanfang, are you...?"
Li Yan looked over. He hesitated to speak, but finally did not say: "It's okay. The main thing is to interrogate the Tibetan thieves."
The three of them watched Shen Juyuan enter the cell.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Jiao Er closed his eyes and said directly: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't expect to get any useful information from me!"
Shen Juyuan also went straight to the point without any foreshadowing: "Did the weapons you armed the old Tuyuhun troops come from the Zhechong Mansion arsenal?"
Jiaoer smiled coldly.
Shen Juyuan talked about the situation of the army: "Every soldier in the Tang Dynasty is equipped with a bow, thirty arrows, a bow, a horizontal knife, a sharpening stone, and a large locust (xi). A felt hat, felt clothing, and a cane each, as well as nine buckets of wheat and rice, two buckets of rice, as well as armor and military equipment in the arsenal!"
"The sharpening stone is a whetstone, but you know how to use it. The thorn is a bone awl that can untie knots, but you just break it randomly. The felt baggage does not record the soldier's information on it. The vine is a protective gear for leggings. No one is tied up, only felt hats are worn to keep out the cold."
"A group of barbarians have never used such good weapons before, right?"
Jiao'er's nose wrinkled: "So what? You Tang people are well-armed, but weren't you completely wiped out in the Battle of Dafeichuan?"
Shen Juyuan was furious, but he couldn't hold back and said the lines taught to him by Li Yan: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Throughout the ages, there has never been an invincible country. The Tang Dynasty will naturally fail, but you won, why did you Qin Are you going to run away in despair?"
Jiao'er finally opened his eyes and was about to speak when he saw Shen Juyuan wave his hand: "Don't brag in front of me. I'm not one of those inexperienced princes. If the Tibetan thieves in Qinling are even half sure of winning, they will definitely win." Will stay for a fight, he just doesn’t have the confidence at all, so he avoids my Datang’s edge in the future!”
Jiaoer's mouth bulged, and he had no confidence to refute, so he simply said bitterly: "Just wait, General Qinling will defeat your Tang army again, and one day, this fertile land under your feet will belong to us, Tubo!" "
No need to act, Shen Juyuan was also amused by such ridiculous words: "Haha! Daydreaming!"
He laughed for a while before continuing: "If you want to be a Tibetan, those Tibetan thieves won't really accept you!"
Jiao Er sneered: "No need to provoke, I won't be fooled!"
Shen Juyuan sneered: "Don't forget, you are not the only secret guard who was caught!"
Jiao'er was extremely calm: "Those people are secret soldiers at the bottom, they don't know the greatness of my guards! Secret guards? This name is a contemptuous name given to us by Tuyuhun, but you think it is the real name, it is simply ridiculous!"
Shen Juyuan said: "It seems that your secret guards have very few manpower. The third prince of Tuyuhun is also a person who can cause chaos, but you only send so few men? On the contrary, Tubo is a small country. Even if you imitate me, the inner guard of the Tang Dynasty With the current situation, we can’t afford to invest too much in it, so manpower is naturally very scarce.”
Listening to him constantly belittling Tubo, Jiao Er felt that his new father was offended, and became increasingly angry and began to curse: "You ignorant Qiu Ba, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, how dare you, a barbarian, scold me?"
Shen Juyuan was stunned and started to talk trash.
As a result, he was so stupid that he was scolded by a Tyuhun and Xianbei man until he couldn't resist.
After the scolding, Shen Juyuan became so angry that he simply covered it with his big futon-like hands.
"I disdain to attack those who have no power to resist"
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the cell door opened and Li Yan walked in.
Jiao'er was frightened when he thought of the terrifying martial arts skills that this man had used to capture him, and the fact that he was Li Jing's direct grandson. He quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head.
But this did not prevent Li Yan's voice from reaching his ears clearly: "Let's play this first. I explained over there that Wuwei Jia family has secret guards lurking. The harvest this time is too big!"
Jiao Er's pupils suddenly contracted. He was about to say it was impossible, but swallowed it back.
Then he heard Shen Juyuan say: "In that case, kill him! This man is stubborn, he is determined to regard thieves as his father, and he has a bad mouth. There is no need to keep him!"
Li Yan smiled and said: "It's not necessary. When we catch the Jia family's secret spy and send him as an envoy to Tubo, we will hand this person back to Qinling. Let's see how Qinling and the Gar family treat those of Tuyuhun. The old people of the subjugated country will still have a great degree of trust!"
Shen Juyuan laughed: "Haha, this is a good idea, let's do it like this!"
Jiao Er's body trembled and he could no longer hold back. He raised his head and shouted: "Impossible! They are just secret soldiers, how could they know this information! Absolutely impossible!"
Li Yan smiled: "This is strange. Your man has been recruited, but you asked me about his intelligence source? There is no airtight wall in the world, and too much information is accidentally leaked..."
In fact, it was not true. Li Yan had completely guessed that there was information about Tibetan secret guards within the Jia family.
The reason is very simple. Jia Sibo had secretly communicated with Tubo and trained a group of spies under his command. After Liniang confessed, they were swept away.
Later, in order to force Jia Sibo to confess, Cui Shouye once wanted to arrest all tens of thousands of people related to the Jia family in Wuwei, which caused panic.
With the acumen of the Tubo secret guards, they would definitely take advantage of it. Even the prince of Tuyuhun was instigated, so there was no reason to let go of this opportunity.
Of course, there are too many people in the Jia family, and Li Yan doesn't know who they are specifically, but they are enough to use them to implement the Prisoner's Dilemma.
At this time, he concluded: "You have worked hard for Tubo, which destroyed your khanate, but you are unlucky. You have no chance to be loyal...Brother Juyuan, let's go!"
Shen Juyuan looked at Jiao Er who was mourning for his heir. He was still angry and kicked him hard: "Thief! Wait for death!"
He rushed out full of anger, while Li Yan walked deliberately slowly.
When I finally came to the cell door, I heard a voice like a mosquito coming from behind: "They don't know as much as I do!"
"It's done!"
Li Yan did not turn around and ask in a hurry, but continued to open the door as if he had not heard.
Jiaoer was very anxious and shouted: "Don't leave! I am Qiawei, I know more than those people!"
Li Yan turned around: "Qiawei? What kind of weird name is this?"
Jiao'er said: "The secret guards are a contemptuous name for us. We are called Yongzhong Divine Guards, and they are divided into five levels: the first-level guard leader, the second-level commander, the third-level charismatic guard, the fourth-level Xinshi, and the fifth-level secret guard." Death."
"Yongzhong? Is it written like this?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and drew a "卍" character on his palm.
Jiao Er's face changed slightly: "Not bad!"
This is Yongzhong. Historically, when Wu Zetian was in power, he defined its pronunciation as Wan, "This meaning sounds Wan, which means that it is a collection of auspiciousness and ten thousand virtues."
Since then, the swastika symbol has symbolized auspiciousness, happiness, brightness, holiness, etc., and is often seen in Chinese Buddhism.
Li Yan nodded: "Since it is Yongzhong, then 'Qia' means to destroy evil views, and 'Xin' means to introduce liberation. Qia Wei will command one place, and Xin Shi will manage another place?"
Jiao Er showed fear: "Did you arrest someone else a long time ago?"
Li Yan smiled enigmatically and asked: "In addition to internal divisions, do you have corresponding official ranks?"
Jiao'er said: "We each have our own advantages, so as not to distinguish ourselves from others."
Li Yan understood: "Yicang, which also means insignia, is also a sign of identity, and is a symbol of the rank of Tubo officials. It seems that you secret guards are also serious court officials, enjoying salary and salary. No wonder you looked so loyal before!
"
Jiao Er whispered: "We are not called secret guards..."
Li Yan asked: "Tell me, what do the fifth-level secret guards deserve?"
Jiao'er said: "Among the five ranks of secret guards, the chief guard is matched with Sese, the commander is matched with gold, the Qia guards are matched with large silver, the Xin guards are matched with small silver, and the secret guards are matched with copper."
When he said this, he begged: "Please forgive me and don't arrest Jia's secret spies. If the secret guards think that I have rebelled, they will kill all my wife and children!"
Li Yan was confused: "Didn't you say before that your wife and children died when they moved to the Qilian Mountains?"
Jiao Er lowered his head and said: "After I became a secret guard, Tubo arranged for me to marry a new wife, and she also gave birth to two sons for me."
Li Yan: "..."
The inside defender must be feeling the pressure!
The secret guard really made love to his wife!
He asked: "Is your new wife from Tibet?"
Jiao'er said: "It's Sun Boru of Tubo."
"Sun Poru...that's the Supi people, and there is a communication channel!"
Li Yan's eyes flashed slightly: "Forget it, tell me everything you know clearly, and I will not arrest Jia's secret agents and try my best to save the lives of your wife and children."
Jiaoer breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your kindness!!"
