Chapter 219: Feeling suspicious(1/2)
Lin Gu quickly summoned the generals, and when he asked, no one knew.
"Then he can only be taken away by General Dou." Lin Gu said in a deep voice.
After all, they all came from the Xingyuan Army. Of course, Yao Minghui had to speak for Dou Ruyun: "There should be a risk of exposing his identity before he would take the risk of directly kidnapping the person. This is a good thing. The Imperial Master has an extra hostage."
Lin Gu: "...But where did the hostages go?"
Give him the hostage instead!
Yao Minghui frowned and thought this was too bizarre.
"Did he be discovered by Prince Xuan's guards when he was kidnapped? There were soldiers chasing him, so he had to take a detour, so he didn't arrive in Yizhou for a long time?" he guessed.
"Will King Xuan go crazy?" Suddenly a general asked.
Yao Minghui: "What?"
The general said: "The incident in Beidi seems like yesterday. I really didn't expect him to go crazy now."
Yao Minghui said solemnly: "It's so difficult to attack the Liang Dynasty. You and I already know it. But we didn't expect... It happened so coincidentally that Princess Xuan had an incident in the capital, and King Xuan asked to change the title to Yizhou. Otherwise, now,
We have already reached Fengxiang Mansion and are approaching Jingzhao Mansion."
Lin Gu pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea: "Find a random woman in Yizhou, cut off her hands and send them to King Xuan. Since he thinks I kidnapped his princess, let him think so. I
We must fight and decide quickly."
Yao Minghui interrupted: "Do you think anyone can impersonate Princess Xuan?"
"How can you recognize someone if you cut off your hand?"
"Beijing calls her 'vase beauty', which shows that no matter how stupid she is, she can't hide her stunning beauty. And for a woman from the capital who was raised as pampered as she is... how can anyone in the border towns pretend to be her? You can tell the difference at the first sight of her skin.
"
Lin Gu frowned: "In your opinion..."
Yao Minghui said: "Do you know about King Xuan's rebellion against the Anxi Army?"
"Why are you talking about this for no reason?"
"When King Xuan left Beijing, he returned part of his army to the emperor. The emperor in turn gave him the Anxi army."
Lin Gu understood: "Can the Anxi Army provoke... I wonder where they will be stationed?"
"If I were King Xuan, I would not lead the Anxi army to Yizhou, lest something happen on the battlefield and endanger the lives of my family." Yao Minghui said firmly, "I will definitely stay in Yizhou!"
Lin Gu narrowed his eyes: "You want to attack from both front and back."
Yao Minghui said: "That's what I mean."
This man was indeed quite capable and was not dazzled by King Xuan's reputation.
"The original idea was to lure King Xuan into the city and kill him, but the spies sent out have not yet returned with a message." Lin Gu shook his head, "Just follow General Yao's wishes. You are better than me in marching and fighting."
Yao Minghui's face turned slightly warm and he nodded.
This is why Prince Zhang’s old tribe united with the Mon people.
The Mon people are not a barbarian nation.
They also use unified writing and reading, and are more able to work together as one. People in higher positions are not scornful and disdainful. On the contrary, they can put themselves in lower positions and ask for advice generously.
These "rebellious ministers" of the Liang Dynasty were only treated as honored guests here.
"While the imperial army has not yet been mobilized...if the Xuanwu army arrived in full force in the past, no matter how thick your city wall is, you will not be a match for King Xuan." Yao Minghui said.
Lin Gu laughed loudly: "That's okay. From what you just said, I can tell that the Emperor of Liang Dynasty was not at ease with his son. Otherwise, how could he take away part of the troops in his hand and instead divert the Anxi army?
Give it to him? In this case, the emperor will probably not let all the rest of the Xuanwu Army come. Because this is the fiefdom of King Xuan, and once they come, they will not go back."
Yao Minghui said solemnly: "But you can't take any chances on the battlefield."
Lin Gu said with a smile: "Yes."
Yao Minghui immediately recruited several more men and asked them to disguise themselves and sneak into Xingzhou.
Lin Gu said: "Princess Xuan was kidnapped. Now Xingzhou's entry and exit may be strictly controlled."
Yao Minghui smiled and said: "Why go into the city? Xingzhou is small, not as big as Yizhou. Most of the troops are stationed in the suburbs."
Lin Gu sighed: "Having General Yao is really a blessing for the dynasty."
Yao Minghui paused and suddenly said: "There is one more thing..."
"Um?"
"You don't know much about Dou Ruyun's abilities, but I do. If he was just avoiding the pursuers, he wouldn't have heard anything from him till now. I think... it's very possible that he took a detour to the king's tent."
Lin Gu was shocked: "If that's the case, why are you still hesitating? Immediately write a letter asking the king to send someone to me! I heard that Princess Xuan has another child in her belly... If this is put on the wall, I'm afraid that King Xuan will not bow his head.
?Even if he doesn’t like his wife, he still has to save face!”
Lin Gu wrote the letter quickly.
That night it was in the hands of the Mon king.
The Mon king tore it apart expressionlessly.
Now that this time has come, of course he will not leave this Central Plains beauty to anyone.
Because faith is a secret message.
It's not surprising that he would tear it up after seeing it.
Lin Gu didn't wait long before he saw the person who wrote the letter.
He looked back and asked, "Where are the people?"
Xiao Bing shook his head blankly: "The king didn't entrust anyone to me."
Lin Gu frowned: "Did General Yao guess wrong?"
Yao Minghui also frowned: "I guessed it right. If it is wrong, I will at least tell you where to come to Princess Xuan?"
Lin Gu suddenly felt unhappy.
"Then if it's really in the king's tent, why didn't you give it to me? The king has read far better books on the Central Plains than me, but he was fooled by the so-called gentleman's way!" Lin Gu's tone became more and more unhappy.
Yao Minghui advised: "Just write and ask."
Lin Gu nodded.
Lin Gu sent three letters back in succession.
This made the ministers start to wonder: "Is the war going badly?" "If we encounter trouble, should we send the hostage there earlier?"
But the Mon king held back his words.
When they ask.
He smiled: "I was just thinking about how I should reward the national master after he wins."
At night.
The king of the Meng clan came to Xue Qingyin's tent again and sighed: "I can't help but kill him now."
Xue Qingyin looked at him doubtfully.
The king of the Mon clan said: "The imperial master sent three letters asking me to ask for you. How can I hand you over?"
Xue Qingyin thought to herself, are you reluctant to let go?
The three letters you sent in a row made you unhappy.
"You reward him with two more generals." Xue Qingyin gave him some advice.
"Huh?" The king of the Meng clan paused for a moment, then reacted and asked: "The bigger the better, right?"
Xue Qingyin nodded.
The next day.
An imperial edict was delivered to King Xuan's camp.
"What your Majesty means is that your Highness should be calm and don't be impatient. Don't use troops easily. The King of Wei will arrive soon with his army."
After hearing this, King Xuan's expression showed no change, but Fang Chengzhong felt angry.
"Our princess is all lost!" he blurted out.
Are you telling us to be patient?
"What?" The herald was also stunned.
King Xuan waved his hand: "Take him down first to settle him."
The herald couldn't help but trembled, fearing that King Xuan would turn his anger on him. So he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
"What do you think, Your Majesty? Send King Wei...his plate of food is not enough for people to eat!" Fang Chengzhong scolded.
King Xuan glanced at him.
Fang Chengzhong quickly shut up.
