Chapter 653: Dragon's reverse scale, anyone who touches it will die
Ji Feng was also a little confused. He looked at Wang Yue innocently. Before he could speak, he heard someone falling off his horse behind him. He was startled. He thought his brother was dead, so he glanced back and found that it was Wen Xiujun has passed out.
It's just that this time Wen Xiujun was not as lucky as last time. She fell from her horse in the chaos of the army. She was not a skilled person with bow and horse. She was accidentally stepped on by the horse and woke up immediately.
Wang Yue also heard the sound of his horse falling behind him, but he didn't pay attention and continued to charge at the front. He glanced at the innocent Ji Feng in a hurry. He didn't have time to evaluate Ji Feng's results, so he took advantage of Peng Kun's falling horse and shot him with one shot. The handsome flag behind Peng Kun.
After Peng Kun's handsome flag fell, Wang Yue shouted, "Peng Kun is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." This shout made Peng Kun's personal guards go crazy, and they rushed towards Wang Yue's handsome flag, but They were no match for Wang Yue. After killing a group of Peng Kun's loyalists, the others quickly surrendered.
After the battle, Wang Yue asked Ji Feng to gather his troops, and he and Ji Yu led a team each to rush into Xiaoqian'an Prince's Mansion and Peng Kun's home. He didn't go there for money, he just went to look for account books and correspondence. Even the residences of their staff were not spared.
The hard work paid off, and Wang Yue gained a lot. Not only did he find the letters between Peng Kun and Ling Yi, but he also found the slips of Xiao Qian'an's staff and Xiao Yuehou.
After Wang Yue read the letter, he immediately contacted Ling Buyi.
Ling Buyi was much more conscientious than Wang Yue. After the battle, he was busy gathering the defeated troops and settling the villagers. When Wang Yue called him, he knew that he would gain something, so he hurried over.
Wang Yue handed the letters from Peng Kun and Ling Yi to Ling Buyi, and then explained his behavior, "Fortunately, I went in time, and most of the letters are still there, and I didn't have time to burn them."
Ling Buyi already knew what Wang Yue was going to do, and he was mentally prepared. After reading the letter, he calmly said to Wang Yue, "Thank you very much this time!"
Wang Yue didn't expect Ling Buyi to be so calm, so he could only express his concerns, "We have a large army in control now, and there are no problems with the evidence and witnesses. It's just that when we get to Kyoto, it won't be certain."
Ling Buyi originally thought that the great revenge would be avenged soon, so he unexpectedly became calm. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue actually said that there might be twists and turns. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "Are you still worried? Someone is going to intercept and kill me in the prison of Zuoqi Camp?"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Ling Buyi. He didn't expect Ling Buyi to be so naive, so he said helplessly, "What I'm worried about is that when we get to Kyoto, someone will immediately ask us to send people to Tingwei's Mansion or Taiwei Mansion."
Ling Buyi frowned, he had also thought of this, but according to the law, he couldn't stop you. However, when people arrive at Tingwei Mansion or Taiwei Mansion, it is impossible for anything to happen. After all, they are heavily guarded there. .
Wang Yue saw that Ling Buyi didn't believe it. He thought about it for a while, then thought of something and said, "Now that we have obtained the evidence, it will be difficult to protect the evidence witnesses without the army when we return to Beijing. Why not, let's just alert others." When the news comes out, it is said that we have obtained evidence of the contacts between Peng Kun and the staff of King Xiao Qianan and senior officials in the capital."
Ling Buyi was stunned for a while, and immediately understood what Wang Yue wanted to do. He thought about it and said cautiously, "Are you planning to lure them to intercept them halfway? But we have a large army, and it may not be easy to ambush us."
Wang Yue, however, had already been prepared. He said nonchalantly, "Yes, I just need a reasonable reason for me to lead my troops to Kyoto alone. The other party will definitely ambush me."
Ling Buyi thought about it and felt that it made sense. As long as there was a reasonable reason to let Wang Yue's 30,000 soldiers and horses escort the prisoners, there would be someone behind the scenes who would not be able to help but take action.
...
The reason is not that easy to find. Wang Yue thought about it for more than half a month, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason. However, someone soon found a reason for Wang Yue.
It turned out that Cheng Shaoshang seldom went out after she became pregnant. This time she heard that Cheng Shi and others caught cold after drinking, so she took a carriage to Cheng's house to visit her father.
When Cheng Shaoshang was returning to his house from Cheng's house, the carriage was driving on the street and was hit by the carriage of the third princess. During the subsequent investigation, the driver of the carriage of the third princess said that the horse was frightened. Even the third princess was shocked.
He was seriously injured and fell into coma, and the investigation ended just like that.
Cheng Shaoshang was lucky, because the modified carriage had a wider chassis and a heavier chassis, and the carriage was very strong. The collision of the two horses only moved Cheng Shaoshang's carriage horizontally for a few feet, although the carriage shook suddenly.
, but never overturned.
Cheng Shaoshang was just frightened at that time. In order to protect Cheng Shaoshang, Lian Fang, who was beside her, was cut by the flying sawdust and a lot of blood flowed out. When she rushed back to the house, she was
There was constant oozing of blood.
Wang Yue was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly asked the guard who delivered the letter, "Madam, how is she?"
The guard saw that Wang Yue really asked Madam first, and thought of Cheng Shaoshang's advice, he quickly explained, "Madam is fine. After the carriage accident, she hurried back to the house. Madam was anxious to see the injury in Lianfang, so she didn't
Delayed on the road. Because there was a lot of blood on the road, it was rumored that Madam was injured. After the Cheng family received the news, Madam Xiao and Mr. Cheng came immediately. Madam was resting at that time. Madam Xiao said that this time might not be an accident, so she asked Madam to
He pretended to be injured at home and sent someone to notify the owner and wait for the owner's arrangements. However, before going out, the wife said that he was fine and the child was stable. "
Wang Yue nodded. He didn't expect Xiao Yuanyi to have such an unexpected role. She was indeed the woman who followed him on the expedition. She gave him an excuse to return to the capital quickly. He hurriedly called Ling Buyi. He was planning to advance
let's go.
...
Wang Yue led five thousand cavalry and Peng Kun and other prisoners, traveling day and night. When passing through Jiao County of Pei State, he was about to leave when a kind-hearted old man stopped him on the official road.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yue knew that the powerful families in this era had some special skills, so he patted his horse politely and asked politely, "I wonder if I can stop Wang's army?"
What's the important matter?"
Seeing that Wang Yue was as kind as the rumors, the old man said in a friendly manner, "I am the queen of Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen, and I am here today to relieve the general from his troubles."
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that Cao Shi knew where the enemy was ambushing. He motioned his men to retreat further, and then asked softly, "I wonder if I can inform the enemy."
Where do you hide it, and what kind of reward do you expect?"
Mr. Cao waited for Wang Yue's personal guards to go away, and then said with a smile, "All I need is a favor from the general."
Wang Yue twitched his lips. Since ancient times, it has been the hardest thing to repay a favor. However, he and Ling Buyi actually faced a problem, that is, they did not know where they would be intercepted. If they were prepared, the losses would be less.
Although he had used this battle to send some of his loyal subordinates to Dongmou, he still did not want to leave a group of soldiers who had been through life and death in danger.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue took out a jade pendant with the word Dongmu printed on it, handed it to Old Man Cao, and then said seriously, "In the future, you can have someone bring the jade pendant to my house. If you want anything, I will give it to you."
As long as it’s not excessive, I will definitely agree.”
The old man was even more satisfied when he saw that Wang Yue didn't say enough. After all, if he said too much, his credibility would be low. He couldn't hold back anymore and said with a smile, "Don't worry, General Wang, I know how to advance and retreat.
The people who ambush the general know that you will not dare to go to Jingsheng County, and plan to intercept you near Gucheng. I hope you will be careful."
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. This person who investigated was quite careful and had better information than his secret guards. He quickly thanked him and started to lead his troops on their way again.
While the large group of people continued on their way, Wang Yue studied the map of Lou Ben and pondered the terrain of the isolated city. Ji Feng asked with some doubts, "My lord, is what I said true or false?"
Wang Yue discovered that the miasma place where King Lao Qianan was poisoned seemed to be a way to get to Gucheng. He thought about it and said nonchalantly, "It must be true. The Cao family is considered a prominent family in Jiao County. What's the use of offending me for nothing?"
?The old man can run away, but the Cao family cannot run away."
Ji Feng nodded, thinking that this was also the case. After all, everyone knew that Wang Yue's queen's nephew didn't dare to offend Wang Yue very much, and many of those who offended him were killed by the secret guards.
In fact, Ji Feng misunderstood. Wang Yue just felt that Jiao County seemed familiar. Isn't this the hometown of Boss Cao? The Cao family that can inherit the whole thing and never die must have something special. And the clues provided by Mr. Cao,
The information fed back by the secret guards confirmed each other, so Wang Yue confirmed the authenticity.
After studying the terrain map, Wang Yue made a decision. He sent someone to deliver a message to Ling Buyu, but instead he accelerated his march. When the army was still some distance away from Gucheng, he did not rush into the city, but inexplicably
Stopped suddenly.
Ji Feng looked at the Kanyu map in Wang Yue's hand and asked doubtfully, "My lord, since there is an ambush near Gucheng, why didn't you enter the city earlier?"
Wang Yue pointed to the map of Kanyu and explained to Ji Feng, "You have to know that the forks in front of you going west are the miasma places where King Lao Qianan died. Do you think the ambushers will come from the miasma places?
Rush out."
Ji Feng was stunned. He remembered that his lord had said that Xiao Yuehou seemed to have inspected the miasma land, and he even made a special trip to tell King Xiao Qian'an in order to lure King Xiao Qian'an to go check it out. As expected, King Lao Qian'an fell into the trap and died.
.
Since they are familiar with the terrain of the Miasma Land, whether it is Peng Kun's mastermind or Xiao Yuehou, it seems that they will ambush a large number of soldiers and horses there, and wait for Wang Yue's army to pass by a few valley entrances in front, and suddenly burst out of the mountain road. , blocking Wang Yue's way, their 30,000 troops could not escape even if they had wings.
Ji Feng figured it out, but became even more confused. He asked anxiously, "Lord, what are we waiting for? General Ling is still a few days away, right? Why don't we turn around and change the direction."
Wang Yue saw that Ji Feng was a little anxious, so he quickly explained, "Zi Sheng and I both concluded that there would be an ambush in this miasma place. We both felt that there was no danger in this miasma place. Zi Sheng even sent people to investigate, so he prepared Take the old path of King Qian'an and lead the army to push it over. We can block the exit here as long as we need it."
Ji Feng didn't expect that Wang Yue and Ling Buyi had already made a plan to catch a turtle in an urn, so he put down his trust and quickly sent troops to arrange the situation. He felt that from now on he would just obey orders honestly. He was not capable of using his brains.
...
In fact, not long after Wang Yue blocked the exits of several valleys, noisy sounds came from the depths of the miasma land, and a large number of people poured out. However, they had just emerged and before they had time to be happy, they were The ambush prepared by Wang Yue was wiped out.
This battle lasted for a day and a night, and it was not until noon of the next day that the thick fog in the Miasma Land faded. After the battlefield was cleared, Ling Buyi and Cui You's soldiers and horses escorted the surrendered troops from the Miasma Land. The land comes out.
The two of them totaled up and found that the ambush this time contained 70,000 to 80,000 troops. It seemed that they were not prepared to leave a way for Wang Yue to survive, but they did not expect that he would not have a way to survive.
Wang Yue looked at the unmarked soldiers and horses escorted out, and frowned and said, "Which group of soldiers and horses are these? From the Yue Marquis, or from whom?"
Ling Buyi was even more surprised than Wang Yue. He and Wang Yue's enemy seemed to be someone else. He said depressedly, "No, it seems to be soldiers secretly cultivated by the Tian family."
Wang Yue was still hesitating about which Tian family it was. Wen Xiujun, who had always been very honest in the team, suddenly limped to Ling Buyi and asked incredulously, "Isn't this miasma place poisonous?" ?"
Ling Buyi looked at this poor woman and said coldly, "The miasma here is not poisonous, and King Lao Qian'an did not die in rescuing Gucheng, but died from the calculations of thoughtful people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wen Xiujun couldn't believe this fact, and she said excitedly, "I don't believe it. Send someone to take me in to have a look. I want seeing to be believed."
Ling Buyi thought that this person was Wang Ling's mother, so he gave her a little bit of sympathy and wanted her to believe him, so he nodded and said, "A Fei, take Wen Xiujun in and have a look."
Liang Qiufei also knew Wang Yue and Ling Buyi's intentions. He respectfully found a docile horse and took Wen Xiujun into the miasma. When they came out again, Wen Xiujun He was silent and didn't say another word until he arrived in the capital.
...
Back in Kyoto, the emperor heard that Wang Yue was attacked on his way back to the capital. Fortunately, he and Ling Buyi and Cui You were well prepared and annihilated tens of thousands of bandit soldiers in one fell swoop, which made him furious.
What made the emperor even more furious was that the famous taboo, the place where the miasma caused the death of King Lao Qianan, actually had nearly 100,000 soldiers ambushed. Although the number of soldiers was only about 30,000, it should not be underestimated. .
Moreover, there was another question in Emperor Wen's mind, that is, how did King Lao Qian'an die?
You know, it is precisely because King Lao Qian'an died of illness when he went to rescue Gucheng, but he actually died of illness without sending any troops. The emperor took great care of King Xiao Qian'an, but he was also very dissatisfied. But now it seems The death of King Lao Qian'an was a conspiracy, which made him feel a little guilty towards King Lao Qian'an.
You must know that it was Xiao Yuehou who told King Lao Qianan that there was miasma in the wild land, and many soldiers died because of it.
Who is Xiao Yuehou? He is the brother of Concubine Yue!
So what do people in the world think of him?
In order to get rid of the biggest opponent, do you even want to kill your own sworn brother?
Does that mean that his years of mourning and memorializing have become a show of hypocrisy in the eyes of others?
Although the emperor seems kind-hearted now, he is the founder of the country, and he was furious when he found out that he had seen through his thoughts and taken advantage of him.
Don't underestimate the ruthlessness of any one who crosses you. If you touch the dragon's reverse scale, you will die.
