1371 Battlefield, capture the thief first capture the king
With the secret guards leading the way, Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi left with Long Bao smoothly without attracting the attention of others.
Along the way, Long Bao was very considerate and didn't cry a word. Later, he fell asleep directly without causing any trouble to them.
"Long Bao is worthy of being the Crown Prince. His courage is extraordinary. Even if thousands of troops and horses are fighting in front of him, he can still sleep." Tang Wanzhen put all the credit on Long Bao, completely ignoring the hard work and coaxing.
Gu Chengyi.
Gu Chengyi nodded repeatedly, "His Royal Highness is not only bold but also very smart. He can understand what we are saying and the poems I read to him every day."
"Yes, yes, he will stare at you every day when you read poems to him. You are so smart."
"Brother Tang is right. One day I remembered it incorrectly and recited a song again, and the prince was unhappy."
…
As soon as Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi talked about Long Bao, they couldn't stop talking about it. The more they talked, the happier they became.
The secret guard listened attentively at first, but it was obvious that the two men were getting more and more outrageous, so they could only stare at the sky silently.
Does he want to tell the two princes that the prince is less than half a year old and there is no way he can understand what they say or understand the Book of Songs?
Even if the prince is a child prodigy, he can't be so exaggerated. Can't these two people say something reliable?
Really!
However, even so, the secret guard did not stop Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi, but listened silently and complained secretly in his heart.
Not long after Tang Wanjin left with Long Bao, the assassins withdrew. The 20,000-strong army did not leave even a hair on the assassin. After the assassin escaped, the general who led the army immediately went to Qin Jiyan to apologize, but he didn't get close yet.
, I heard a baby crying from the camp, and Qin Jiyan's cold orders.
"It's not good to take care of the prince. You deserve to die! For the sake of the prince, I will spare your lives and send someone to send them back to the capital and put them in a prison."
The two people Qin Jiyan was talking about, in the eyes of the general, naturally referred to Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi, and soon two people who looked exactly like Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi were escorted out by the secret guards.
The hair and clothes of these two people were all messed up, and their heads were hanging down in despair. Unless you look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell any difference between them and Tang Wanjin and Gu Chengyi.
At this time, it was dark, and they were standing with their backs to the light, so it was even harder to distinguish their faces.
The leading general took one look and did not dare to look again. He turned sideways to make way for them. When they were far away, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Zeng Yu wants to see you." The emperor was in a bad mood. He was really in a bad mood.
It was a gunshot, but he had to report it.
"Come in!" Qin Jiyan was sitting in the middle, holding a child in his hands, his whole body was cold. People who didn't know better thought that he was unhappy because the prince was frightened. However, the fact was that he was not happy because he was holding a child.
The person who is not Long Bao will not be happy.
"General, please pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Long Live Long Live Your Majesty. I am incompetent and let the assassin escape. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." General Zeng knew that he had neglected his duty and did not dare to look up at Qin Jiyan.
"No one was caught? No one died?" Qin Jiyan's face was gloomy, and his tone was even more impatient, which frightened General Zeng into kowtowing repeatedly, "I am incompetent, please forgive me."
"It's true that you are incompetent." Qin Jiyan snorted coldly, "I will give you a chance to make a difference. If you can't find anything out within five days, you won't be a general."
Qin Jiyan would not be killed because of this, but if the other party was really incompetent and couldn't find out anything, he would not leave the person behind.
He set up a good trap, but he also left some clues.
Since it is a bureau, it must have a beginning and an end. These assassins cannot appear out of thin air. They must have a background and a mastermind behind them.
"General, thank you for your kindness, long live long live! Long live long live!" General Zeng thought that he was finished this time. Unexpectedly, there were still five days left. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: What my father said was right.
, The emperor is indeed a cold-faced and kind-hearted person.
So, this is another beautiful misunderstanding!
After safely sending Long Bao away, Qin Jiyan began to arrange the next thing.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. The war between Northern Qi and Da Qin was not so much initiated by Northern Qi as it was initiated by the Changshengmen.
Without the Immortality Sect and Ni Yue's help, Northern Qi would not have been able to destroy Jing Yan's 150,000 troops, nor would it have had the guts to directly send troops to attack Da Qin.
Northern Qi relies on the Immortality Gate, and what he has to do is to destroy the source of the Immortality Gate first.
To destroy the Immortality Sect will not happen overnight, but it is not too difficult to clear out the Immortality Sect's influence in Northern Qi.
When Qin Jiyan went to Northern Qi as an envoy, he did not leave much behind. With the help of the then regent of Northern Qi, Qin Jiyan developed a lot of influence in Northern Qi in recent years.
Those forces cannot help the army sneak into Northern Qi, but it is not difficult to cover a few killers to enter Northern Qi, or even enter the Northern Qi army.
On the third day after Long Bao was sent away, the killers from Anfeng Tower were ordered to see Qin Jiyan, waiting for Qin Jiyan to give them orders.
"Go to the border of Northern Qi. Someone will arrange for you to enter the military camp. Take the gate of longevity and the head of the general of Northern Qi." When the two armies are fighting, they will use any means to win.
Frame-ups, frame-ups, and assassinations are commonplace, but things like estrangement and instigation of rebellion also happen from time to time. It is absolutely normal for Qin Jiyan to send assassins to assassinate the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Moreover, Northern Qi was not clean either. Northern Qi had already taken action against Da Qin. Officials of Da Qin suddenly tried their best to praise and kill the Feng family. Apart from selfishness, there was no sinister intention of Northern Qi.
When the two armies are fighting, to accuse the leading generals of some unfounded crimes is to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.
When the generals on the front line disobey the emperor's will because of the war, this seed will quickly grow and sprout, becoming the key to the victory or defeat of the war.
This kind of thing happened from time to time in history. Three people became tigers. Too many people said in front of the emperor that the general with the heavy troops on the front line was ambitious and wanted to rely on the military power in his hands to become a king. Even if the emperor could not be firm at first.
If you don’t believe it, you will be shaken later.
Historically speaking, it is not that he did not support his own troops, did not obey the emperor's orders, and finally established himself as king.
Just in case, in order to ensure the rule of the imperial power, the emperor would often rather sacrifice the soldiers on the front line, rather than lose the battle, and would try his best to kill the generals with heavy troops.
This is the tactic used by the Northern Qi Dynasty. This tactic may seem ordinary but is extremely dangerous. Because many times, even if you understand that this is the enemy's strategy, you will fall for it.
For the emperor, the victory or defeat of a war, the death of a general, the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the misery of the people of his country were all inferior to the supreme power in his hands.
In order to protect the power in their hands, the emperor will do anything...
