Feng Mo thought about Jia Ke's words and felt that this must be the case, so he said to Jia Ke: "Sir, what should we do?"
Jia Ke smiled at him and said: "Of course I'm just waiting for him and setting up a net to catch fish. You lead the troops and wait for him at the north gate. If he doesn't come, just pay him back. If he comes, let him fall into the trap."
Feng Mo was now obeying Jia Ke's words. Since Jia Ke ordered him to do this, he had no doubts. He immediately went down and led his troops to ambush at the north gate, waiting for those who wanted to fall into the trap.
Besides, there is a family in Kaipingwei who is a well-known wealthy family in Kaipingwei. His family is mainly engaged in horse trading business. In the past decades, everything has gone smoothly without any trouble. The owner of this family is surnamed Tang, and his full name is Tang.
Tang Kuai has been in the horse trading business since his father's generation. Over the years, he has opened up the road between the court and the grassland, and it is unobstructed no matter where he is. Now he has a wealthy family in Xuanfu Town.
It is considered a worthy family.
However, there are rumors that the owner Tang Kuai is very nostalgic, so the base camp has never left Kaipingwei over the years, and repairs bridges and roads every year. However, when there is a famine, he still helps the victims. He is the most famous benevolent person in Kaipingwei. This time
When the Tatars came to attack, the government recruited all the men in the Kaiping Guard. Not only did he send his family, but also his two sons to the front line.
But almost everyone doesn't know that Tang Dashan is not from the Central Plains. His father is a Tatar. He was sent to the Southern Dynasties by the previous Khan and served as a spy for the Tatars, even using assassinations.
To eradicate dissidents for the Tatars, he took over this position after his father died. Although sometimes he forgot that he was a Tatar, every time an order came, it reminded him of this
An identity that he himself hates.
The deaths of several former Qianhu members of the Kaiping Guard were all related to him, and the assassins who went to assassinate them were all dead Tatars. He took advantage of the opportunity of horse trading to sneak into the Kaiping Guard from the grassland.
Just now, he received a report from the servants on the tower who were assisting in guarding the city. Three huge bonfires were lit in the Tatar camp.
When Tang Kuai heard the news, he began to feel a little restless. He was different from his father. His father always thought that he was a Tatar, but he resisted this identity from the bottom of his heart. His mother was from the Central Plains.
He also wants to be a Central Plains person, not a Tatar.
Tang Kuai thought about it at home. He knew that if he followed the orders of the Tatars this time, he would no longer be able to stay in the Central Plains. The thought of returning to the grassland and living in the grassland
, living a precarious life, he felt chilled from the bottom of his heart.
He walked around in his room, looking at the house built by the hard work of his father and his son, and then thinking about the woolen tents on the grassland. He felt that he could make a decision, even if he deserved death.
, and can preserve one's descendants to live a prosperous life. Instead of herding sheep on the grassland and then being exploited by the lord, even his wife's newlyweds must be given to the lord to enjoy first.
Once a person makes a decision, he will feel relaxed all over because he already knows what he will face. The same is true for Tang Kuai. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his descendants will live a meager life like those herdsmen.
Tang Kuai has made a decision, so he can no longer hesitate.
"Someone, prepare a car for me."
At this time, his wife came in with a bowl of bird's nests and said to him: "Master, it's so late, where are you going?"
Tang Kuai looked at his old wife, wondering if he could come back after leaving. He said to her with a gentle face: "I may have to go out for a few days. I will not be at home these days, so I will leave the house to you to take care of her."
Well, our two sons are not young anymore. You have to discipline them well and then marry them a more capable wife so that you can take care of them in the future. That’s all." After that, he walked out.
Her wife felt that something was wrong with his manner of speaking. This was not something he said after two days away, but more like he was explaining the funeral arrangements. She quickly went up to hold him, her eyes turned red, and there was a cry in her voice, and she asked him
: "What happened to the master? Tell me, let's discuss it together. You are the backbone of our family. Without you, our family will fall apart."
Tang Kuai gently grabbed her hands, which were no longer as soft as they were twenty years ago. Then he patted her gently and comforted her, saying: "It's nothing. I just went to deal with some small things for our son."
If you lay a foundation for the future, you will be able to live with peace of mind in the future.”
After comforting his wife, Tang Kuai went out and got in the car, and went directly to the city gate. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the defense here was not tight. But the more this happened, the more scared he felt. Now when they were fighting with the Tatars, the city
The defense at the door is so lax, I'm afraid a net has been set up, waiting for my fish to jump in.
Tang Kuai did not delay, got out of the car and looked for a soldier. He asked with a smile on his face: "This little brother, I want to ask you something. I don't know if Mr. Qianhu is here. I have something important to ask you."
He reported it."
The soldier looked him up and down and recognized him immediately. Tang Kuai was still very famous in Kaipingwei. Then the soldier said with a smile on his face: "It turns out he is from Mr. Tang. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Qianhu?"
"
Tang Kuai said calmly: "Yes, there are some things that I need to talk to Mr. Qianhu."
"Then wait a moment, Mr. Qianhu is at the top of the city. I'll ask someone to report it to you." After saying that, he said to the person next to him: "Go to the top of the city and report to Mr. Qianhu. Tell Mr. Tang in the city."
Good man, I have something important to do and I want to see Master Qianhu. Let’s see what he says.”
The soldiers next to him heard his words and immediately ran towards the tower.
Tang Kuai waited below for a short time, and the soldier came down. Then he smiled and said to Tang Kuai: "Master Qianhu was very happy to know that Mr. Tang Dashan was visiting. He asked me to invite Mr. Tang Kuai to come to the top of the city to talk."
After saying that, he raised his hand and invited Tang Kuai to come to the top of the city.
At this time, Tang Kuai had no way out, so he followed the soldier to the top of the city. When he reached the top of the city, he walked dozens of steps forward. When he came to a young general, the soldier went up and knelt down on one knee.
, said to the young general: "Please report to Master Qianhu, Tang Kuai will bring you."
Jia Ke had already looked at the soldier who had just come up to report, and came to him with a man who looked like a middle-aged wealthy businessman.
Jia Ke waved his hand to the soldier and said, "Go back, as long as I'm here." The soldier then left.
Tang Kuai didn't know yet, but the person in front of him was the newly arrived Qianhu Jia Ke. He quickly knelt down on the ground and saluted Jia Ke: "Tang Kuai, a grassroots man, let me bow to you, Mr. Qianhu."
Jia Ke looked at him with a slight smile on his face, "I know you. We are a famous wealthy businessman in Kaipingwei and a great philanthropist. I don't know what you want from me."
Tang Kuai looked at the smiling young man in front of him. For some reason, he felt a chill in his back, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.
Originally, he thought that by this time, there was nothing to be afraid of, but from the moment he saw this young man, he felt that this young man was too scary. This was purely an intuition derived from being an undercover agent in the Southern Dynasty for so many years. This kind of intuition did not know.
How many times have I saved him?
Tang Kuai knelt there and did not dare to get up or raise his head. He kept kowtowing to Jia Ke, and then said with a trembling voice: "The grassroots surrendered themselves."
Jia Ke's smile faded, his eyes narrowed into slits, bursts of cold light came from the west wind, but there was still a smile in the tone when he spoke to him: "What has Mr. Tang Dashan done that requires him to surrender to me?"
Tang Kuai was still kowtowing, "Sir, you deserve death for a small crime. You are a Tatar spy."
