Liu Chan was immediately surprised. Wang Gui, whom he had seen today, was the commander of Yue Fei's army, equivalent to the leader of Yue Fei's personal guards. He did not expect that he was actually a member of the Shadow Guards.
This is simply impossible, just like your brother suddenly telling you one day that he has been in love with your girlfriend, it is really a bolt from the blue.
"Are you a shadow guard?" Liu Chan asked in disbelief, like five thunderbolts striking his head.
"I was appointed by Commander Li Hui during the Jianyan period and joined the Yue Family Army. It has been ten years now."
Wang Gui recalled that when he met Li Hui, it was the winter of the first year of Jianyan. The war was going on in the north, and the Jin soldiers did not stop their march to the south. There were beacon smoke everywhere. At that time, the nobles and royal families were in the north.
They couldn't survive at all, let alone Wang Gui, who was only sixteen years old at the time.
Everyone was running south, but during this escape, Wang Gui accidentally got separated from the large army. He walked alone on the snow, patting himself constantly, resenting his carelessness for missing the last trace.
Hope of living. In the end, Wang Gui fell in a canyon and was picked up by Li Hui, who was still a red shadow guard at the time.
"Who are you?" Wang Gui woke up, hugged the remaining dry food in his chest, and asked Li Hui warily.
"I see you have amazing bones. Have you practiced martial arts?" Li Hui did not answer, but asked instead.
"Of course I have practiced. My father is the martial arts instructor of the Forbidden Army, so I have been practicing martial arts with him since I was a child. Don't act recklessly, it will be bad if I accidentally hurt you." Wang Gui said with bluff, his father is a
An ordinary martial arts teacher is not a Forbidden Army instructor. Although he has also learned martial arts, he is only half qualified, otherwise he would only have this little dry food.
How could Li Hui, a red shadow guard, not see Wang Gui's lies? He smiled and said, "Boy, my name is Li Hui. Do you want to live a good life?"
"You said if you live well, you can live well?" Wang Gui asked back.
"Follow me, listen to me, work for me, and you will naturally live a good life."
Although Wang Gui didn't believe Li Hui, he didn't know where he was going, so he followed him first. After that, Wang Gui joined the Imperial City Department and got an official position. Later, Li Hui suddenly became
As a result, Wang Gui became an ordinary shadow guard, responsible for monitoring the movements of armies in various places.
The encounter between Wang Gui and Yue Fei was also on the battlefield, but it had more twists and turns than the encounter with Li Hui.
In the second year of Jianyan, the Jin Kingdom was bound to wipe out all the armed forces of the Song Dynasty in the north at one stroke. The situation was very critical, but ten red shadow guards died in a row, and none of them passed on the stolen Jin Kingdom's operational road map to Zongze.
The shadow guards at that time were simply crazy. After the red shadow guards were dead, they sent ordinary shadow guards. But the news never fell into Zongze's hands. The shadow guards lurking in the Jin Kingdom were also going crazy.
He is not a fool. Even if he handles more than twenty battle plans carefully, even a blind man can detect that there is something wrong, and he will be exposed soon.
The man was expected to die in the wilderness, and his body was wrapped in horse leather and his ears were buried. All the red shadow guards were destroyed, and more than half of the ordinary shadow guards died. In the end, the battle route map fell into Wang Gui's hands, so he had to go on the road. Wang Gui
Gui didn't know how the other shadow guards died. After the red shadow guards died, a lot of information was lost. So he could only sneak into the refugees first and try to sneak out. As a result, he met the golden soldiers on the way.
He and all the other people who followed him died.
This was the case in the early Southern Song Dynasty. People were either dying or on the road to death. They were either fighting or on the way to fight.
At that time, there was a war in the north. Fortunately, everyone knew that Zongze was a safe place, so the people who could not move south flocked to Zongze. Wang Gui also took this opportunity to infiltrate among the people, wanting to fish in troubled waters, and sneaked there
Zongze. But the Jin Kingdom’s spies seemed to know Wang Gui’s whereabouts. No matter where Wang Gui was hiding, they could find him. After five waves of people died in a row, tens of thousands of people in total, Wang Gui gave up the idea. Cry?
After seeing so much life and death, Wang Gui could no longer cry.
Later, Wang Gui told Li Hui this information, suspecting that the shadow guards on the Jin side might have rebelled or had traitors. However, after investigation, it was discovered that no one had rebelled or was a traitor. Rather,
The Kingdom of Jin deliberately spread the news in the north, saying that Zongze was safer and had food. In this way, the people hiding in the north would consciously run to Zongze, and the Kingdom of Jin could intercept and kill the people of the Song Dynasty along the way.
At that time, the people really couldn't survive at all, and they rushed forward one after another with only the slightest hope. So, the Jin State used this method to massacre hundreds of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty.
At that time, Wang Gui had no way to pass the news to Zongze, but the Shadow Guards were completely crazy. Li Hui even issued a death order, demanding that at all costs, even if all the Shadow Guards died in the north, they must be killed.
The battle route map was handed over to Zongze. So Wang Gui could only go on the road alone. The result was beyond his expectation. He didn't encounter another golden soldier along the way. He was very lucky.
But unfortunately, during the last stretch of the journey, he still encountered Jin Bing. Traveling all night, Wang Gui really did not have the strength to fight, so he could only close his eyes helplessly and sit on the ground waiting to die.
Just when the golden soldier was about to cut off his head, an arrow pierced the golden soldier's chest. It turned out that Yue Fei had arrived. At that time, Yue Fei was not as high-spirited as he is now, and he did not worry about state affairs every day.
, not like this with his brows furrowed all the time. Instead, he was very high-spirited and acted recklessly. He dared to confront five Jin cavalry alone.
"Boy, don't be a coward. Just go with the Jin soldiers and it's over." At that time, Yue Fei had just killed all five Jin soldiers and was riding on his horse, looking down at him.
Wang Gui will never forget what Yue Fei looked like at that time, with a proud look on his young face and his whole body glowing under the sunlight.
The battle plan was finally successfully delivered to Zongze. After Zongze received it, he immediately sent five thousand cavalry to attack the Jin army in Huazhou, and finally won the great victory in Tokyo, which was famous all over the world.
Because of the battle map, Wang Gui was promoted to the Red Shadow Guard in the north. Later, Wang Gui was sent by Li Hui to monitor Zongze, but who would have thought that in the seventh month of Jianyan that year, Zongze was shouting
After saying "cross the river!" three times, he said a long farewell.
Things happened so fast, no one expected that Zongze would die suddenly, and the shadow guards didn't even have time to prepare. For generals like Zongze, the shadow guards keep a close eye on them, and usually send one in their early stages.
The Shadow Guards went to monitor. But at that time, no one thought that Yue Fei would take over Zongze's authority and continue the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.
At that time, the Shadow Guards believed that Zongze would hand over the power of the army to his son, but they made a major error in their judgment. The Shadow Guards had no choice but to promote Wang Gui to the Brown Shadow Guards again, letting him follow Yue Fei and monitor Yue Fei's activities.
action.
"Please get up quickly." Liu Chan hurriedly helped Wang Gui up. A shadow guard who had been promoted from an ordinary shadow guard to a brown shadow guard, and a shadow guard who had been in the army for ten years! It's a bit scary to think about it!
Although Liu Chan was the emperor, he didn't have much of an emperor's airs. He asked gossiping: "Does Yue Fei know that you are a brown shadow guard?"
Wang Gui shook his head. If Liu Chan hadn't personally inspected the Yue family's army today, he would not have exposed his identity at all. In fact, he had always felt that as long as he continued like this, his identity would never be exposed. But it never happened.
Come to think of it, Liu Chan actually wants to lead the Yue Family Army in a personal expedition!
Liu Chan sighed, and for the first time he became curious about the spy agency Shadow Guards. How many Shadow Guards were hidden throughout the country? Only the original Zhao Gou knew about this matter, and even the commander Li Hui didn't know. Liu Chan then
It's even less clear.
"What brought you here?"
Wang Gui replied: "I have been lurking in the Yue family's army for ten years. I came here to report on my duties today. I wonder if I want to explain to you the situation in the army."
"Oh, tell me about it. Also tell me about Yue Fei's character." It seemed that there was nothing wrong, and Liu Chan was happy to hear it.
Wang Gui felt that his guess was good. Sure enough, he was sent to join the Yue family army to monitor Yue Fei. Although he respected and admired Yue Fei, he always felt sorry for Yue Fei. What was even more helpless was that Yue Fei was a stupid young man. He taught Yue Fei every day
As a result, Yue Fei was kicked out of Lin'an due to his official way.
"Back to Your Majesty, Yue Fei's subordinates are mainly divided into the Yuejia Army and the Beiwei Army. The Yuejia Army has cavalry and infantry. The cavalry is 10,000, mainly light cavalry; the infantry is about 25,000; the Beiwei Army is 5,000, but all of them are heavy cavalry.
Armored cavalry. Most of the army is made up of veterans who have seen blood, and there are less than 10,000 new recruits."
Liu Chan's eyes lit up when he heard Bei Weijun: "Tell me about Bei Weijun."
"The Beiwei Army is under the control of Zhang Xian, but the actual commander is Yue Yun."
"Yue Yun? Yue Fei's son?" Liu Chan asked.
Wang Gui had a bad intuition in his heart, and he shouldn't mention this, but he was a shadow guard, so there was nothing he could do about it: "Yes, although Yue Yun is Yue Fei's son, he is proficient in cavalry and can fight tough battles, so
Yue Fei asked Yue Yun to lead the Wei army during the war."
"Father and son are going into battle, who is Zhang Xian?"
"That's the general you saw standing silently at Yue Fei's residence today. Your Majesty, forgive me. He usually doesn't like to talk and doesn't know how to communicate, but he is good at marching and forming formations. When Yue Fei is away, he commands the entire army.
"
"Very good, let's talk about Yue Fei."
"General Yue is loyal and patriotic. I have been with him for many years and I have never seen him arrogant or arrogant. It's just that his personality is too straightforward and he doesn't know how to be an official."
"It seems that you admire Yue Fei very much. Yes, I heard about Yue Fei's loyalty when I was in Lin'an. I feel more at ease after you say it again today. It is a blessing for our court to have Yue Fei here." Liu Chan laughed.
He said that all monarchs like loyal and righteous people.
Wang Gui did not expect Liu Chan to say this. He always thought that the purpose of his existence was to monitor Yue Fei. When he was activated, he would murder Yue Fei. He did not expect Liu Chan to like Yue Fei so much.
"Don't be nervous." Liu Chan said with a smile: "Although you are a Shadow Guard, I sent you to Yue Fei not just to monitor Yue Fei, but to protect him. An important minister of the country like this will inevitably be attacked by treacherous ministers and enemy countries.
He was framed. With you here, if anything happens, I can protect him as soon as possible."
Wang Gui's mind seemed to be suddenly opened and he felt refreshed. He really didn't expect that his mission to monitor Yue Fei was actually for this.
"But Commander Li Hui said before..."
"I didn't tell you before because I wanted to prevent you from being emotional and to ensure that you could report Yue Fei's situation objectively and truthfully. It's been ten years now and I already know Yue Fei's loyalty to me, so I can tell you the real situation.
From now on, you are both my shadow guard and Yue Fei's personal guard. You must protect Yue Fei's safety!"
