Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world
Chapter 148 War
Chapter 148 War
The army has been completely surrounded by Fenghua Valley, which is the most beautiful season in Fenghua Valley at this time, not only the blood-red maple leaves all over the mountains and plains, but also the valley where His Royal Highness the Second Prince stationed troops. A piece of fiery red.
But neither the second prince, who has lived in it for a month, nor Uesugi Tiger, who has been guarding near the gate for a month, has no intention of admiring the scenery in front of him. The two armies are in a stalemate. Food is running out.
"How is it today?" The second prince's lips were a little dry, not because he didn't drink water, but His Royal Highness, who grew up in Nanqing all year round, had never experienced the dryness and wind and sun here. After the fierce battle, I couldn't bear it any longer. In addition, the insects and ants in the north are not the same as those in the south. The insects and ants in the Gobi Desert in the north are extremely powerful. After nearly two months of this month, they died of There are no less than a hundred soldiers of the insects and ants.
"Return to the words of His Highness the Second Highness." The person who spoke was the deputy general of the Ye family. He knelt in the temporary tent and said, "There is still no news. It took a month at the slowest time to arrive here from the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. , It has been a month and a half now, and there is still no news, nor any news from Mr. Fan."
"Fan Xian!" The second prince smashed his hands, and finally gnashed his teeth and cursed, "I know you are a scheming master, playing tricks with me. When you enter the barracks, I will make you regret it!"
"Fan Xian may not be very comfortable on the way." Ye Linger said in a low voice, "The Second Highness seems to have forgotten that he was just a prisoner in Northern Qi. I'm afraid he won't be able to sit comfortably in a carriage along the way. Take it."
"Hanging a carriage?" The second prince smiled sternly, "He also needs to know that if he came back from Beiqi with a carriage hanging, it would be much easier. Let him cherish this period of time, after all, he really returned to the army , is the beginning of the tragedy.”
The horse-drawn carriage is to trap people's hands behind the carriage, or behind the horses, and then pull it all the way, just like the way that Shen Shen took Xiao En all the way from the place where the Northern Qi entered the customs to the upper capital, but for the palace For noble people, this is not considered torture, but just a special way of traveling.
"Second Highness, I think that Uesugi Tiger is not so easy to let go." The deputy general said to the second prince, "Uesugi Tiger is very serious about friendship. Previously, Uesugi Tiger was a member of the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Now Fan Xian Killing the Empress Dowager Uesugi, and killing Uesugi Tora’s adoptive father Sean, was also the chief culprit who indirectly caused Sean’s death, and also tricked several of Uesugi Tora’s subordinates into losing their lives. , Fan Xian is having a hard time."
The second prince murmured and sighed, "Uesugi Tiger would not dare to kill Fan Xian whatever he wanted. Now that the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty has fallen, only the emperor is left. What can Uesugi Tiger do? The Northern Qi Emperor is not flattering." , then he is a dead end."
Political affairs are so simple. When the Empress Dowager is behind the curtain, it is only natural for the big guys to seek refuge with the Empress Dowager. After all, this is the person who holds the real power. Besides, the little Northern Qi emperor is the empress dowager's son. There is nothing wrong with a son listening to his mother. He would not believe that the little emperor dared to disobey his mother, after all, he was too young to accomplish great things.
But now it is not such a simple matter. The Queen Mother has fallen, and now only His Majesty the Little Emperor is left in the entire court. No one can contain this little emperor, so of course he has officially become the object of everyone's fear, so no one dares to have second thoughts, unless he seeks death or directly rebels.
There are no more than three civil and military officials who can have this strength, and Tiger Uesugi is one of them.
Previously, in order to be able to move heavy, the emperor allowed Uesugi Tiger to inherit a very large military power. Now, it is time to pay off the debt. Of course, this time also benefited from Fan Xian's strategy, but this time the deal with the little emperor of Northern Qi , Fan Xian paid a huge price, but what he can get will be much more than what he paid now.
It's just these things, the second prince can see the first floor, but not the second floor.
As for Uesugi Tiger, he probably didn't even think that the first layer would happen.
So when Uesugi came up to Fan Xian, he still thought that he was the little emperor's confidant.
Fan Xian didn't notice Uesugi Tiger, but when the carriage stopped, he hadn't got out of the carriage, and he didn't know the outside situation, Fan Xian was still busy at this time.
Xiaoqing was sitting in the carriage, taking some rouge to make a fuss about Fan Xian's face and body.
Qu Han tore Fan Xian's clothes vigorously, trying his best to look as if he had been tortured.
"I always feel that you really have no injuries at all and will be found out." Yu Zhenzi said to Fan Xian while sitting in the carriage.
Fan Xian looked at Yu Zhenzi warily, "What do you want?"
Yu Zhenzi held the dagger in his hand, and looked at Fan Xian with a smile. Fan Xian glanced at him, "You don't move, be careful that I don't give you that book about Qimen Dunjia."
Yu Zhenzi immediately squatted aside obediently.
In the carriage, Fan Xian had already thought about it a long time ago. He prepared a puddle of mud and dust in advance, so that after being pasted on his body, the old and new would be very eye-catching. Finally, he tied two bundles of ropes around his wrists and tied them together. Waist, and that's it.At least once meeting Uesugi Tiger, his momentum will be stronger, which will make Fan Xian more sure about the next thing.
Uesugi Tiger took all his subordinates and sat silently looking at the carriage in front of him. The people on Fan Xian's side had basically got out of the carriage. This time Fan Xian did not bring many people into Uesugi Tiger's barracks. He had already dismissed some of them before, and this time the people who followed up were Wang Qinian and Gao Gao, and the others were waiting outside.
At this time, Wang Qinian and Gao Da were restrained by Jin Yiwei, tied with ropes, and brought to the front of the carriage.
"Master Fan, do you need me to help you down?" Tong Zhi had already sternly said at this time.
At this time, Tongzhi was quite different from before. His face was extremely serious, and he walked up to the carriage, "What's wrong? Fan Dashixian can't stand up anymore?"
Fan Xian didn't speak. At this moment, he slowly stepped out of the carriage, staggered, and fell to the ground.
"grown ups!"
"My lord!" Qu Han and Xiao Qing hurried over to support her.
Uesugi Tiger looked at Fan Xian, and didn't speak first, but quietly stood aside, watching the tragic Fan Xian perform his excellent acting skills. It was Bei Qi, and his empress dowager master died at the hands of this man.
So Uesugi Tiger didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for Fan Xian, and it was reasonable for him to walk all the way from Northern Qi to Xihu.
Fan Xian scrambled and fell to the ground. The two girls caught up to the front, barely being able to support them.
Only then did Uesugi Tiger slowly walk in front of the co-presbyterian, he looked around coldly, and asked, "These two are the only ones left in the mission?"
"That's not true." Tongzhi glanced back and knew that Uesugi Tiger was referring to the two people behind him, so he replied, "General, the other members of the mission have been dismissed by me."
Uesugi Tiger nodded. Fan Xian's assassination of the Northern Qi Empress Dowager was originally a serious crime. Now the world knows that there is no reason to hide it. Besides, this matter is very extreme. It is impossible for Qing Guo to do anything. Uesugi Tiger was targeting Fan Xian alone.
Yu Zhenzi sat in the carriage and did not get off. He still had a lot of things to do. Fan Xian explained many things to him. An actor must pay attention to the elements of supporting roles, which is the most important thing, and he also gave back to him. Although his book looks like it was completed just now, Yu Zhenzi, who has some research on Qimen Dunjia, knows that at least the content of this book is not fake.
Uesugi Tiger walked to Fan Xian's side and asked in a low voice, "Master Fan."
Fan Xian was dying, looked at Uesugi Tiger, said nothing, his eyes half closed, a little blood seeped from his mouth.
Tongzhi walked around, looked at Uesugi Tiger, and then said, "Do you want to put those two people..."
Uesugi Tiger made a gesture with his palm on his neck, which he could understand, and he smiled slightly at his colleague, "Don't let blood flow in the barracks."
"Understood General!" Tong Zhi was about to turn his head and leave, but at this moment, Fan Xian spoke.
"General!" Fan Xian said weakly, "What you entrusted to me...my business...has been done...the Queen Mother...is dead..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Everyone looked at the...
Uesugi Tiger!
Uesugi Tiger was even more shocked. He looked at Fan Xian in amazement, and his eyes were even more terrified. He never thought that Fan Xian would say such a sentence at this time, let alone that he would be in Tongzhi's house. In front of you, say such a sentence!
"What do you mean!" Uesugi Tiger was obviously anxious, he pointed at Fan Xian and said, "Don't spit blood!"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... General... I... I may die to tell you... to go on!" Fan Xian said, "I...can't...can't..."
"Fan Xian!" Uesugi Tiger was so furious that he immediately picked up the long knife, and was about to send Fan Xian back to the west.
But at this time, the person who stopped Uesugi Tiger was Tongzhi, his empty eyes and calm demeanor made Uesugi Tiger feel cold, and he sternly said to Tongzhi, "What are you doing? It will break my morale!"
"Is the general planning to kill someone to silence him?" The corner of Tongzhi's mouth curled up.
Fan Xian was right. Although Tongzhi was not a good commander, he was a good dog.
Si Lili revealed his identity in front of Tong Zhi, and what he wanted to do was to turn Tong Zhi into an obedient dog, and this obedient dog was to lead Uesugi Tiger to the gate of hell. people.Tongzhi didn't dare to disobey the emperor, because the queen mother was dead, and he didn't dare disobey the commander-in-chief, because his desire for power and money was exactly the same as that of ordinary people.
So the same knowledge at this time is the fastest knife.
Uesugi Tiger remembered the identity of Tongzhi, and also remembered the person who once stood in this position. He looked at Tongzhi furiously, and when he didn't know what to do, he was held back by his subordinates behind him. This was also to prevent Uesugi Tiger impulsively does something irreversible.
"My lord Tong, you and I are both officials of Daqi, and we are all very grateful for the Queen Mother's appreciation. We are considered to be of the same family. Now someone has framed me. If you don't deal with this person, are you going to deal with me?" Uesugi Tiger Looking at the fellow in puzzlement, there was only anger in his words.
At this time, Tongzhi had already stood in line. He didn't have the sense of righteousness to avenge the queen mother, but he was Si Lili's dog's leg with iron iron. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, general." , Which is right and which is wrong, I make my own decision, I am the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, does the general not believe in my interrogation ability?"
"So, this person wants to slander a general of our Great Qi Kingdom with just one sentence. Such a thing cannot happen, but you also know that Mr. Fan's identity is extremely special. If he can speak out before he dies, In this case, it must be impossible to do it at will, otherwise why didn't he say it was me, or someone else? He just said it was the general." Tongzhi explained, "There is something strange in this, please ask the general The general invited you to Weifang Sanwu, I must investigate this matter thoroughly."
Uesugi Tiger frowned and looked at Tongzhi. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tongzhi's gourd, but the current situation was like this, and Uesugi Tiger couldn't make any other choices for a while, so He could only follow what his colleague said, he snorted coldly, then turned his head and said to the adjutant.
"Move the three tents out, the ones in the east are fine, bring them in, without my order, no one can come out!" Uesugi Tiger directly threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, and went straight back to the army barracks.
At this time, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Neither Wang Qinian nor Gundam knew that Fan Xian would have such a plan.
Tongzhi walked up to the horse and asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Fan tell you what to do?"
"It's enough for Qiao Zhuang's groom to leave, and the rest is up to the adults." Yu Zhenzi replied.
"Understood." Shun Tongzhi opened the carriage and said to the people beside him, "Take out all their luggage and let the coachman leave. The rest of them will press the prisoners and enter the camp!"
follow orders.
Fan Xian secretly glanced at Yu Zhenzi and nodded.
Yu Zhenzi also made the same action, and then directly rode his horse and left the place.
What Uesugi Tiger didn't know was that a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time had just begun.
"How is it?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
This is the fourth time this spy has reported back. The spy walked into Uesugi Tiger's tent and knelt down, "Returning to the general, they didn't make any movement. The Jinyiwei surrounded the three tents tightly. It looks like we can't get any closer."
"However, I can observe that those members of Jinyiwei still hate Fan Xian and others very much. The sounds of torture can often be heard inside, and it seems that they are inflicting torture." The spies said.
"Keep watching." Uesugi Tiger came to a conclusion.
The general beside him came over and said in a low voice, "General, I think the strangeness in this incident should not be limited to what we have seen so far."
"What do you mean?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
"Fan Xian has been tortured all the way, we can all see this, and he must have known it himself when he got here, he can't survive, the general also understands that Fan Xian and the second prince of Northern Qi are fighting in dire straits, and now If the second prince has great power, if Fan Xianru is directly handed over to Nanqing by you, then he will die." The general said, "If this plan is adopted, then it will be shelved in the same way as the general. Here, even though he has been tortured, he still has his life, and Fan Xian's root is in the capital city, if he waits until someone from the Overwatch Council arrives, Fan Xian may be able to escape."
"Overwatch Council?" Uesugi Tiger asked, "Will they anger the prince just because of a commissioner?"
"The general forgot that the prince cannot interfere with the affairs of the Overwatch Council, and the second prince killed Fan Xian privately, so he must have put the blame on the general. If the Overwatch Council were to intervene, then the second prince would be fine no matter what." They dare not touch Fan Xian," said the general.
Only then did Uesugi let out a sigh of relief, "Boy Fan Xian, you really are full of conspiracies and tricks, so I am seeking peace with Nanqing now. If I kill him, I will definitely raise troops from Nanqing and go straight north. This is not your Majesty's responsibility." mean."
"General, what if we directly capture the second prince alive?" The general said, "The gimmick of the [-] army has already bluffed the people of the two countries, but our Daqi is not powerless to resist, but the general also knows that now Although His Majesty regards peace as the most important thing, it is also because we are not fully sure that we can defeat Nanqing. Moreover, if our army is overwhelming, if we directly capture the second prince alive, then no matter how big the deal is, we will have the final say at that time. .”
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is very important in the eyes of the people of Nanqing. The emperor of Qing will negotiate peace with us no matter what, and it will be more than enough to get back the territory ceded last time. If we succeed, the emperor will return." Do you blame the general? No, you will only trust the general more, and..." The general did not continue.
The latter matter is the matter of Uesugi Tiger's own obscenity.
After thinking about it, the general was worthy of being a general, and what he said and did seemed to make sense, so he nodded slowly, "But now that Fan Xian is being suppressed, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty didn't order the general to be investigated. Jinyiwei is the same as the Overwatch Council. In the upper capital, the general may not be able to touch the same judge, but now in the land of Xihu, why should he order the general?" will say.
Uesugi Tiger naturally understood this truth, but he always felt a strange feeling that he couldn't explain. He didn't know where it came from, and he always felt uncomfortable, but it didn't matter. He immediately said, "Pai San Qian Qingqi, start searching the mountains!"
"The last general obeys!" The general accepted the order and immediately turned around and walked out of the camp.
At this time, Uesugi Tiger leaned back on the seat. He had an ominous omen somewhere, but he still didn't know where the problem was.
........................
"what!"
"Um……"
"Oh!"
"what……"
The sound of screams was still coming out of the tent.
Tongzhi was sitting on a chair with a large table in front of him. He was grabbing a chicken leg and eating on his own.
Fan Xian sat across from Tong Zhi, sandwiching the food in front of him.
"Mr. Fan, Xihu's dishes are not as good as ours." Tongzhi said.
"I guess it's a matter of raw materials. The cooks in the army should also be from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The food and grass have been burnt clean. The current products should be from the Turkic tribe." Fan Xian said, sending a chopstick of fatty meat to his mouth Later, I felt a little tired, so I vomited it out.
At this moment, Fan Xian said, "You're tired, call someone else."
"Ah..." Gao Da shouted, then nodded, and walked to Fan Xian's side again.
"Hey, my lord, how can I keep these two brothers tired all the time, come on." Tongzhi pointed to a Jinyi guard behind him and said, "Go and shout for a while."
The man walked over laughingly, and began to scream, "Ah... oh... um..."
Amidst the screams, several people happily started eating and drinking.
"Mr. Fan, I really didn't know that Si Lili was... No, the Commander-in-Chief was so secretive. If it wasn't for this matter, I might never have known the true identity of the Commander-in-Chief." Tong Zhi said.
Looking at this simple-minded fool in front of him, Fan Xian also smiled, but now he still has to be polite to him. After all, he was working under his subordinates, and he had to bow his head under the eaves. It is a very good way for your lord to get in touch with His Majesty, think about it, my lord, how many people can know the real identity of the commander?"
"Very few." Tongzhi replied.
"That's right, Jinyiwei is a very secretive organization, and the commander-in-chief is even a close confidant of His Majesty. Her status can be imagined, so you must know that this is a person who entered Daqi's interior with the same adult." It's an obvious sign." Fan Xian said with a smile, "That's how I got to where I am now, step by step."
Tongzhi was taken aback, and immediately cupped his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your guidance."
The two smiled embarrassingly, with deep meaning in their smiles.
After nightfall, the Qingguo military camp was peaceful and serene.
Those who had nothing to do went to bed early. At this time, a person who was anxious ran past the tent and went straight to the center of the camp.
"Fan Xian is here! Report to the Second Highness! Fan Xian is here!" The voice of the deputy general came from outside the tent to the inside of the tent, and the deputy walked into the tent excitedly. With a firm body, he got up from the bed at the back. He didn't lift the curtain, but walked out from behind the curtain sideways.
This is a good thing, otherwise the lieutenant general's life would probably be gone. Looking at the second prince's eyes, there was some comfort in the ferocity.
"Are you there?" The second prince poured a cup of tea and asked indifferently.
"Back... back to Your Highness... here... here!" Apparently the deputy general also knew that he had disturbed the Second Highness's Chun Xiao. At this moment, his face was covered with sweat, and he knelt in front of the hall with his head bowed, not daring to say a single unnecessary word.
The second prince glanced at him blankly, didn't say anything more, finished drinking the tea in his hand, put it next to his hand, and then continued to ask, "What's the situation?"
"Northern Qi's barracks are heavily guarded, so we can't enter to investigate and find out what's true, but I did see Fan Xian's carriage entering, and also saw his entourage." The lieutenant general said, "I don't know about the others, but Gundam is the Tiger Guard, I recognize it. come out."
"Oh?" Only now did the second prince understand that Fan Xian had definitely joined the Northern Qi army.Moreover, Uesugi Tiger and Fan Xian have a deep hatred. At this time, Uesugi Tiger should already be greeting Fan Xian's family with a whip, so at this time, he only needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements without thinking about other things.
He lay back on the seat before he said, "Is there any news?"
"Not for the time being, Second Highness," said the lieutenant general.
"Back off." The second prince nodded.
The lieutenant then walked out.
The second prince poured another cup of tea before drinking it.At this time, the curtain in the direction of the bed behind him was slowly opened, and a body like a lotus emerging from water wrapped in a thick veil appeared there. The second prince looked at the bed and smiled slightly, "Linger, Wear more, it's cold in here."
"Hot." Ye Linger only said this word, and walked to the side of the second prince. She didn't shy away from it at all, and sat on the lap of the second prince, and said softly, "Fan Xian is here?"
The second prince embraced Ye Linger and nodded. He took a deep breath, just smiled, and did not enter into deep communication, still staying above words, he sighed softly, "After all, this day is still coming."
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ye Linger asked with a smile, stroking the second prince's chin gently.
The second prince swallowed, he seemed to be much worse at resisting temptation than his father.However, he was still patient, but he enjoyed it. He said slowly, "Fan Xian's matter has become a foregone conclusion. Now, let's think about how to go back and explain to Father the Emperor."
"After all, it's a war now. Of course, it's no surprise that one or two people died. I believe His Majesty can accept it. If it wasn't for the sacrifice of the commander in the army, everything else should be acceptable. Besides, we returned with a big victory. If After the peace talks are over, we will hold Bei Qi under our feet again, and His Majesty will definitely reward you." Ye Linger laughed.
The second prince smiled and buried his face in the gentle village, unable to extricate himself.
………………
………………
"General, the deployment is complete." The general returned to Uesugi Tiger and said.
At this time, Uesugi Tiger was already in uniform, and the battle started, with a long knife in his hand and a full horse under his feet.
"Found it?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
"Because of the peace talks a few days ago, I didn't find the location of the other party's base camp in detail. Now it's easy to find. After all, if you want to hide here quietly with an army of [-], it is impossible." The general said, " They are located seventeen miles east of Fenghuzhai, the army is all together, and our spies have penetrated into the opponent's barracks!"
Wars between the two sides, spies and assassins, poisoning and burning food are indispensable. From ancient times to the present, the most valuable thing in the war era is information, so if you want to march, you must have top-secret information to be safe. Uesugi Tiger marched for so many years, relying on caution , he may not be able to outsmart Fan Xian in terms of scheming, but if it is in a war, it is not certain who will win.At this time, Uesugi Tiger was facing the second prince of the Qing Dynasty who had never fought a serious battle, and whoever was stronger and who was weaker could naturally judge.
Intense preparation is one of Uesugi Tiger's means. His soldiers and horses are not like ordinary people's soldiers and horses. His soldiers and horses will train intensely on weekdays, and they are almost in the stage of preparing for battle every day. , so his soldiers and horses are naturally in a state of high tension all the time,
"This time, it was to capture Nanqing's second prince." Uesugi Tiger said, "According to the report from the spies, that Nanqing's second son is sitting in the central camp with about 300 people around him. If we attack at night, the other party will Definitely no defense."
"You must hit with one hit. Remember, if we capture the opponent's general alive, none of our three thousand Qingqi will die. If we don't catch them, we will never return! Do you understand!" Uesugi Tiger drank.
"Understood!" Although the voices of the soldiers were low, their tone was still determined!
Everyone's eyes were fierce. This battle is Uesugi Tiger's last stand. If it succeeds, it will become famous. If it fails, it is very likely that it will be as Fan Xian said, and there will be endless suspicions. In the end Evening festival is not guaranteed.
Of course, Uesugi Tiger understands the importance of this battle, so his group of people are all carefully selected warriors. This time, he understands that Fan Xian no longer has any ability to influence the situation that is a matter of success or failure. I don't have any problems with myself, this time, he will surely succeed!
Thinking about it, Uesugi Tiger understands, but the danger of this trip is still very high, so he can't take it lightly now.
"Attacking the enemy camp at night, the most important thing is to be fast, it must be fast! The camp is only half a stick of incense away from the outside of the camp when they found us. Remember to kill people as soon as they are found, and you can't let anyone go. But you can’t leave the army! After encircling the camp for the first time, listen to the order and make a decision!” Uesugi Tiger said, “If you don’t succeed, you will be benevolent! Kill!”
"kill!"
The army rose up, and the blood-red maple leaves flew between the sky and the earth.
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, he certainly knew what had happened, but he was a little too calm at this moment.
"Moved?" Wang Qinian suddenly raised his head and listened.
Don't blame him, Fan Xian's hearing is astonishing, Wang Qinian only heard it now, and it's normal, when the noisy and messy footsteps outside came into the room, Wang Qinian frowned and said to Fan Xian, "My lord , where did they go? Could it be that they surrounded us?"
"We are in the other party's military camp, why are we surrounding ourselves?" Qu Han looked at Wang Qinian with his mouth half open, and Wang Qinian looked at Qu Han with a little embarrassment and smiled, "Then you say go do it." Why did you go?"
Qu Han didn't know, and looked at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian took a deep breath, "Should have gone to Qing Kingdom's camp."
"Qingguo's big camp?" Hearing this word, several people looked at Fan Xian in surprise, and even Zhidu looked at Fan Xian with a little surprise, "Why did you suddenly go to Qingguo's big camp at this time?" Didn't they talk about making peace?"
Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully, he is someone who can put himself in another place.
Fan Xian can probably guess what Uesugi Tiger is thinking now. When he entered the Northern Qi camp, Fan Xian knew that Uesugi Tiger would make one of the three actions. The first one was straightforward. Killing Tongzhi, of course, this choice will completely break with the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Such a result is not what Uesugi Tiger wants, so when there is still a way out, Uesugi Tiger will not make such a choice.
And the second choice is to go to the Nanqing camp and capture the second prince of the opponent.
This point is the safest option, and this option can also bring very good results to Uesugi Tiger. If the second prince is in his hands, then Uesugi Tiger will have the capital to negotiate with Nan Qing, and he will also have the power to negotiate with Nan Qing. No matter which side the Northern Qi negotiates with, it will not kill Uesugi Tiger. After all, a prince of the Qing Kingdom is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. Even if Emperor Qing wants the second prince to die, it is impossible to let him go like this Let the prince die no matter what.
The last option is to capture the second prince and kill Tong Zhi and Fan Xian.
This option is the option that Fan Xian is most worried about, and it is also a very possible option, but obviously Uesugi Tiger is not in a hurry to take this step. If Uesugi Tiger is in a hurry to take this step, Fan Xian can only kill the other party directly, then the second prince His life may be about to stay.
The most subtle part of Fan Xian's game is that here, he is betting that Shanhu will not dare to despise the emperor, and he will not dare to despise the child on the Dragon Throne in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Tongzhi is the commander of Jin Yiwei, if he kills him, Shangshanhu can only turn against Shangjingcheng, and Si Lili will not let him go, but if he has the second prince in his hands, this is the number one wonder in the world on the surface. The work belongs to Uesugi Tiger, and no one can kill him.
At this time, Fan Xian was about to wait for this step, and how to take this step was left to Uesugi Tiger.
But Fan Xian will not be without countermeasures. Since this is the case, why not let him go as he pleases. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the car will find a way to the front of the mountain. Fan Xian is not in a hurry. After all, all he has to do is wait.
Under the darkness of night, Fan Xian suddenly felt a very familiar voice.
A voice came from outside the tent behind, "Fan Xian...Fan Xian!"
"En." Fan Xian hummed quietly, walked to the corner of the camp, and sat down. The people around immediately understood and did not look over.After seeing that there were no problems around, Fan Xian said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"You guessed right, Uesugi Tiger has gone." The person who spoke was none other than Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi was begged by Fan Xian to go out to take charge of the nearby investigation work, and he was also responsible for keeping an eye on Uesugi Tiger, so Yu Zhenzi's strength would definitely not be discovered by Uesugi Tiger, so Fan Xian was not worried about his safety.
"How many people did you bring?" Fan Xian asked.
"I heard from them that they are three thousand light cavalry. It seems that they want to go directly to the other party's base camp to capture the second prince. What? Do I need to kill the second prince before they go?" When Fan Xian exposed the crimes committed by the second prince and the eldest princess, Yu Zhenzi was already very angry. Now that he finally had the chance, Yu Zhenzi immediately showed his dislike for the second prince.
Fan Xian curled his lips, "It's useless for you to kill the Second Prince now, it's not the time to let him die, don't worry, when the time comes, the knife will be for you to play with."
"Then what are we going to do now? Don't tell me that you just found out about this and then went to sleep peacefully. I can't sleep anymore. The weather is about to change. Who can sleep." Yu Zhenzi hurriedly said, " You really have a big heart, I have never thought about so many things."
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they eat this bowl of rice, they should do this job. What can we do if we don't?" Fan Xian smiled wryly. , are you ready?"
"It's been fixed a long time ago. As soon as they went out, I took your little brothers until they were almost done. I also told them when they left. Don't let them run around at will. After all, they get lost in those places. But I’m really lost.” Yu Zhenzi smiled, “By the way, I want to ask you something, I didn’t understand the so-called straw boat borrowing arrows in your book, you told me These are all immortals, so why is Zhuge Kongming so majestic that he can observe the sky at night and figure out where the wind is going and when it will blow? Is this something that can be seen?"
"Northwest wind tonight," Fan Xian said.
"You will too?" Yu Zhenzi looked at Fan Xian in astonishment.
"It's in the book, you can read it yourself." Fan Xian said.
In fact, he doesn't know, it's just nonsense. The northwest wind has been blowing these days, so he just said it casually. I have already found it, so I can say it casually.
"Then I'll go to study the books. You take care of yourself. If you have anything to do, just light a fire here. I will come with someone. You and I are also half relatives. If you call me big brother, I will also come here." So I will always take care of you." Yu Zhenzi said.
Fan Xian half opened his mouth and said in surprise, "Where do you have such a big face, you are still half a relative? Why should I call you big brother? I also have a collection here about Qimen Dunjia."
"Brother, you can give orders if you have something to do, and my younger brother will answer!" After finishing speaking, he ran away without looking back.
The coolness of the night turned into a little cold, the bone-piercing cold wind did not blow in the brightly lit tent, nor did it blow on the happy two people, even though they were not wearing clothes, just wrapped in quilts Having fun.
Qingguo's camp was located near Fenghu village. Everyone knew that Fenghu village was the territory of the Xihu people, but after the second prince led the army here, he didn't pay attention to the Xihu people here. In the eyes of the prince, the noble country of Qing doesn't need to pay attention to these people.
While being backed by a powerful country, the second prince is also not afraid of the Northern Qi people. The once invincible appearance of Da Qi was the second prince's nightmare when he was a child, but now that Nanqing is proud of himself, the powerful national power is enough to make the surrounding Shut up everything An Sheng listened to, and even reached the point of doing whoever was unhappy, so in order to live a better life, the surrounding small countries did not dare to provoke Qing.
However, Qing, a behemoth, disappeared for a period of time after fighting with Daqi for three years and directly turning Daqi into Northern Qi. Although the war broke out recently, it did not cause any big waves. It was just a small fight at the border. Therefore, all the small countries are also watching the movement of this behemoth with covetous eyes.
During this period of time, all eyes have been focused on Xihu, which is the western border gate of the Qing Kingdom, but the second prince did not regard this place as a battlefield, but as a place to get promoted and get rich, and it is also a place to hold greater power. Therefore, the second prince, who was strategizing, did not know that his calculations had already been included in others, and he had also become a pawn on the chessboard.
Uesugi Tiger reached the depths of the dense forest. At this time, he stopped and stared, and asked, "How far is it?"
"Back to the general, it's the same as what you saw." The general said, "The faint fire in front is that."
"This..." Uesugi Tiger was stunned.
The general also couldn't believe it, but he could only say affirmatively, "When the last general was patrolling here, he did see that the army was stationed here during the day, and there was a look of making a fire and cooking. That's right."
Uesugi Tiger frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, a little puzzled. The camp in front of him was like half of the camp with 5000 people, and most of it was dark. At this time, Uesugi Tiger was on a high slope, and the camp in front of him It is a low-lying place, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Although it is backed by a mountain, the other places are high slopes. How could someone set up their own camp in such a place?
What's more, there are few lights in front of you at this time, and you can't tell how many people there are. In addition, Uesugi and others made a surprise attack, and they dare not light torches and other things, so it is impossible to see what is going on with the other party. The light below is abnormally dim , It is not clear how many people are there, who is there, the huge camp is just a piece of darkness.
This time, Uesugi Tiger panicked, he didn't know what to do.
If an ignorant and ignorant general down here asked the entire military camp to go to sleep instead of dividing troops into guards at this time, Uesugi Tiger really didn't expect it.
In this era of wars, they all fight half-armies, that is to say, for example, if there is an army of 1, then there must be at least [-] people guarding the army at night. Uesugi Tiger is a conservative, and he will need [-] to [-] soldiers. Ten thousand five, soldiers who perform their duties, even those who can no longer fight, there will be [-] soldiers left. They are all soldiers who do not sleep and train at night. He has never seen such a situation that no one is left, only a hundred people It's just a vigilant guard.
"General, do you want me to take the lead and go down to have a look?" the general asked.
Uesugi Tiger looked at the general indifferently, "Can you confirm that they didn't move camp before night?"
In fact, when he asked this sentence, Uesugi Tiger already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to know, and listened to the general to confirm with him again.
The general knelt directly on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "When you return to the general, the general will not say a single lie. If the general does not believe it, the general will enter the enemy camp alone and burn the enemy camp, so that the general can see clearly." .”
"No need." Uesugi Tiger said with a cold face, "Since this is the case, it is clear that the other party already knows that we are coming, and now, there is no way to retreat."
At this time, Uesugi Tiger was struggling in his heart. He didn't believe that the second prince of the Qing Kingdom was a person who didn't know how to use troops, and he also had tactics in setting up troops. It was obviously an illusion to carry them like this. He didn't dare to underestimate this person, but I have no way out, and now that I sent troops has been discovered, if there is no gain, then when I return to the camp, Tong Zhi will definitely make a big fuss about my behavior tonight, and then there will be no way to argue, plus a fan Leisure, the consequences are disastrous!
Thinking of this, Uesugi Tiger had already put all his eggs in one basket. He drew out the long knife, tightened the rein in his hand, and raised the long knife impressively.
The long knife reflected the moonlight and shone on the faces of everyone below.
murderous look!
Get up!
"Come on!" With a loud shout, following the roaring shouts and the sound of killing, three thousand light cavalry headed straight for the camp!
Impressively, the torches in his hands lit up, and wherever they went, there were not so many soldiers for them to kill. Uesugi Tiger, who thought he was going to fight against thousands of troops, not only failed to kill him at this time, but also because of the nearby The shouting was too loud and startled the soldiers in a barracks. Fortunately, those soldiers only started up and did not enter the battle. They could not catch up with the cavalry and were killed by the follow-up cavalry in the rear.
All the way to the charge, there was only a little interception, and the big camp was right in front of us!
"I knew it would be so easy, but my mother would still burn a piece of food and grass! Burn the second prince directly, and what's going on now?" Uesugi Tiger said angrily, with a single sword hanging horizontally, he tore the curtain of the camp to pieces, and The guards next to him were no match for the three thousand light cavalry. Within a few moments, they were already lying on the ground, blood flowing like a river.
When the army came back to their senses, the three thousand Qingqi were completely surrounded by the big tent.
"Soldiers of Nanqing! Now you generals, the second prince of Qing is in my hands. If you take a step forward! I will let your second prince return to Xihu!" drank.
Randomly, three thousand soldiers uttered the same words.
"If you take a step forward! I will let your second prince return to Xihu!"
Does anyone dare to move here?No one dared to move, only heard the screams from the tent, the second prince said sharply, "Who are you!"
(End of this chapter)
The army has been completely surrounded by Fenghua Valley, which is the most beautiful season in Fenghua Valley at this time, not only the blood-red maple leaves all over the mountains and plains, but also the valley where His Royal Highness the Second Prince stationed troops. A piece of fiery red.
But neither the second prince, who has lived in it for a month, nor Uesugi Tiger, who has been guarding near the gate for a month, has no intention of admiring the scenery in front of him. The two armies are in a stalemate. Food is running out.
"How is it today?" The second prince's lips were a little dry, not because he didn't drink water, but His Royal Highness, who grew up in Nanqing all year round, had never experienced the dryness and wind and sun here. After the fierce battle, I couldn't bear it any longer. In addition, the insects and ants in the north are not the same as those in the south. The insects and ants in the Gobi Desert in the north are extremely powerful. After nearly two months of this month, they died of There are no less than a hundred soldiers of the insects and ants.
"Return to the words of His Highness the Second Highness." The person who spoke was the deputy general of the Ye family. He knelt in the temporary tent and said, "There is still no news. It took a month at the slowest time to arrive here from the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. , It has been a month and a half now, and there is still no news, nor any news from Mr. Fan."
"Fan Xian!" The second prince smashed his hands, and finally gnashed his teeth and cursed, "I know you are a scheming master, playing tricks with me. When you enter the barracks, I will make you regret it!"
"Fan Xian may not be very comfortable on the way." Ye Linger said in a low voice, "The Second Highness seems to have forgotten that he was just a prisoner in Northern Qi. I'm afraid he won't be able to sit comfortably in a carriage along the way. Take it."
"Hanging a carriage?" The second prince smiled sternly, "He also needs to know that if he came back from Beiqi with a carriage hanging, it would be much easier. Let him cherish this period of time, after all, he really returned to the army , is the beginning of the tragedy.”
The horse-drawn carriage is to trap people's hands behind the carriage, or behind the horses, and then pull it all the way, just like the way that Shen Shen took Xiao En all the way from the place where the Northern Qi entered the customs to the upper capital, but for the palace For noble people, this is not considered torture, but just a special way of traveling.
"Second Highness, I think that Uesugi Tiger is not so easy to let go." The deputy general said to the second prince, "Uesugi Tiger is very serious about friendship. Previously, Uesugi Tiger was a member of the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Now Fan Xian Killing the Empress Dowager Uesugi, and killing Uesugi Tora’s adoptive father Sean, was also the chief culprit who indirectly caused Sean’s death, and also tricked several of Uesugi Tora’s subordinates into losing their lives. , Fan Xian is having a hard time."
The second prince murmured and sighed, "Uesugi Tiger would not dare to kill Fan Xian whatever he wanted. Now that the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty has fallen, only the emperor is left. What can Uesugi Tiger do? The Northern Qi Emperor is not flattering." , then he is a dead end."
Political affairs are so simple. When the Empress Dowager is behind the curtain, it is only natural for the big guys to seek refuge with the Empress Dowager. After all, this is the person who holds the real power. Besides, the little Northern Qi emperor is the empress dowager's son. There is nothing wrong with a son listening to his mother. He would not believe that the little emperor dared to disobey his mother, after all, he was too young to accomplish great things.
But now it is not such a simple matter. The Queen Mother has fallen, and now only His Majesty the Little Emperor is left in the entire court. No one can contain this little emperor, so of course he has officially become the object of everyone's fear, so no one dares to have second thoughts, unless he seeks death or directly rebels.
There are no more than three civil and military officials who can have this strength, and Tiger Uesugi is one of them.
Previously, in order to be able to move heavy, the emperor allowed Uesugi Tiger to inherit a very large military power. Now, it is time to pay off the debt. Of course, this time also benefited from Fan Xian's strategy, but this time the deal with the little emperor of Northern Qi , Fan Xian paid a huge price, but what he can get will be much more than what he paid now.
It's just these things, the second prince can see the first floor, but not the second floor.
As for Uesugi Tiger, he probably didn't even think that the first layer would happen.
So when Uesugi came up to Fan Xian, he still thought that he was the little emperor's confidant.
Fan Xian didn't notice Uesugi Tiger, but when the carriage stopped, he hadn't got out of the carriage, and he didn't know the outside situation, Fan Xian was still busy at this time.
Xiaoqing was sitting in the carriage, taking some rouge to make a fuss about Fan Xian's face and body.
Qu Han tore Fan Xian's clothes vigorously, trying his best to look as if he had been tortured.
"I always feel that you really have no injuries at all and will be found out." Yu Zhenzi said to Fan Xian while sitting in the carriage.
Fan Xian looked at Yu Zhenzi warily, "What do you want?"
Yu Zhenzi held the dagger in his hand, and looked at Fan Xian with a smile. Fan Xian glanced at him, "You don't move, be careful that I don't give you that book about Qimen Dunjia."
Yu Zhenzi immediately squatted aside obediently.
In the carriage, Fan Xian had already thought about it a long time ago. He prepared a puddle of mud and dust in advance, so that after being pasted on his body, the old and new would be very eye-catching. Finally, he tied two bundles of ropes around his wrists and tied them together. Waist, and that's it.At least once meeting Uesugi Tiger, his momentum will be stronger, which will make Fan Xian more sure about the next thing.
Uesugi Tiger took all his subordinates and sat silently looking at the carriage in front of him. The people on Fan Xian's side had basically got out of the carriage. This time Fan Xian did not bring many people into Uesugi Tiger's barracks. He had already dismissed some of them before, and this time the people who followed up were Wang Qinian and Gao Gao, and the others were waiting outside.
At this time, Wang Qinian and Gao Da were restrained by Jin Yiwei, tied with ropes, and brought to the front of the carriage.
"Master Fan, do you need me to help you down?" Tong Zhi had already sternly said at this time.
At this time, Tongzhi was quite different from before. His face was extremely serious, and he walked up to the carriage, "What's wrong? Fan Dashixian can't stand up anymore?"
Fan Xian didn't speak. At this moment, he slowly stepped out of the carriage, staggered, and fell to the ground.
"grown ups!"
"My lord!" Qu Han and Xiao Qing hurried over to support her.
Uesugi Tiger looked at Fan Xian, and didn't speak first, but quietly stood aside, watching the tragic Fan Xian perform his excellent acting skills. It was Bei Qi, and his empress dowager master died at the hands of this man.
So Uesugi Tiger didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for Fan Xian, and it was reasonable for him to walk all the way from Northern Qi to Xihu.
Fan Xian scrambled and fell to the ground. The two girls caught up to the front, barely being able to support them.
Only then did Uesugi Tiger slowly walk in front of the co-presbyterian, he looked around coldly, and asked, "These two are the only ones left in the mission?"
"That's not true." Tongzhi glanced back and knew that Uesugi Tiger was referring to the two people behind him, so he replied, "General, the other members of the mission have been dismissed by me."
Uesugi Tiger nodded. Fan Xian's assassination of the Northern Qi Empress Dowager was originally a serious crime. Now the world knows that there is no reason to hide it. Besides, this matter is very extreme. It is impossible for Qing Guo to do anything. Uesugi Tiger was targeting Fan Xian alone.
Yu Zhenzi sat in the carriage and did not get off. He still had a lot of things to do. Fan Xian explained many things to him. An actor must pay attention to the elements of supporting roles, which is the most important thing, and he also gave back to him. Although his book looks like it was completed just now, Yu Zhenzi, who has some research on Qimen Dunjia, knows that at least the content of this book is not fake.
Uesugi Tiger walked to Fan Xian's side and asked in a low voice, "Master Fan."
Fan Xian was dying, looked at Uesugi Tiger, said nothing, his eyes half closed, a little blood seeped from his mouth.
Tongzhi walked around, looked at Uesugi Tiger, and then said, "Do you want to put those two people..."
Uesugi Tiger made a gesture with his palm on his neck, which he could understand, and he smiled slightly at his colleague, "Don't let blood flow in the barracks."
"Understood General!" Tong Zhi was about to turn his head and leave, but at this moment, Fan Xian spoke.
"General!" Fan Xian said weakly, "What you entrusted to me...my business...has been done...the Queen Mother...is dead..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Everyone looked at the...
Uesugi Tiger!
Uesugi Tiger was even more shocked. He looked at Fan Xian in amazement, and his eyes were even more terrified. He never thought that Fan Xian would say such a sentence at this time, let alone that he would be in Tongzhi's house. In front of you, say such a sentence!
"What do you mean!" Uesugi Tiger was obviously anxious, he pointed at Fan Xian and said, "Don't spit blood!"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... General... I... I may die to tell you... to go on!" Fan Xian said, "I...can't...can't..."
"Fan Xian!" Uesugi Tiger was so furious that he immediately picked up the long knife, and was about to send Fan Xian back to the west.
But at this time, the person who stopped Uesugi Tiger was Tongzhi, his empty eyes and calm demeanor made Uesugi Tiger feel cold, and he sternly said to Tongzhi, "What are you doing? It will break my morale!"
"Is the general planning to kill someone to silence him?" The corner of Tongzhi's mouth curled up.
Fan Xian was right. Although Tongzhi was not a good commander, he was a good dog.
Si Lili revealed his identity in front of Tong Zhi, and what he wanted to do was to turn Tong Zhi into an obedient dog, and this obedient dog was to lead Uesugi Tiger to the gate of hell. people.Tongzhi didn't dare to disobey the emperor, because the queen mother was dead, and he didn't dare disobey the commander-in-chief, because his desire for power and money was exactly the same as that of ordinary people.
So the same knowledge at this time is the fastest knife.
Uesugi Tiger remembered the identity of Tongzhi, and also remembered the person who once stood in this position. He looked at Tongzhi furiously, and when he didn't know what to do, he was held back by his subordinates behind him. This was also to prevent Uesugi Tiger impulsively does something irreversible.
"My lord Tong, you and I are both officials of Daqi, and we are all very grateful for the Queen Mother's appreciation. We are considered to be of the same family. Now someone has framed me. If you don't deal with this person, are you going to deal with me?" Uesugi Tiger Looking at the fellow in puzzlement, there was only anger in his words.
At this time, Tongzhi had already stood in line. He didn't have the sense of righteousness to avenge the queen mother, but he was Si Lili's dog's leg with iron iron. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, general." , Which is right and which is wrong, I make my own decision, I am the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, does the general not believe in my interrogation ability?"
"So, this person wants to slander a general of our Great Qi Kingdom with just one sentence. Such a thing cannot happen, but you also know that Mr. Fan's identity is extremely special. If he can speak out before he dies, In this case, it must be impossible to do it at will, otherwise why didn't he say it was me, or someone else? He just said it was the general." Tongzhi explained, "There is something strange in this, please ask the general The general invited you to Weifang Sanwu, I must investigate this matter thoroughly."
Uesugi Tiger frowned and looked at Tongzhi. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tongzhi's gourd, but the current situation was like this, and Uesugi Tiger couldn't make any other choices for a while, so He could only follow what his colleague said, he snorted coldly, then turned his head and said to the adjutant.
"Move the three tents out, the ones in the east are fine, bring them in, without my order, no one can come out!" Uesugi Tiger directly threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, and went straight back to the army barracks.
At this time, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Neither Wang Qinian nor Gundam knew that Fan Xian would have such a plan.
Tongzhi walked up to the horse and asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Fan tell you what to do?"
"It's enough for Qiao Zhuang's groom to leave, and the rest is up to the adults." Yu Zhenzi replied.
"Understood." Shun Tongzhi opened the carriage and said to the people beside him, "Take out all their luggage and let the coachman leave. The rest of them will press the prisoners and enter the camp!"
follow orders.
Fan Xian secretly glanced at Yu Zhenzi and nodded.
Yu Zhenzi also made the same action, and then directly rode his horse and left the place.
What Uesugi Tiger didn't know was that a conspiracy that had been planned for a long time had just begun.
"How is it?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
This is the fourth time this spy has reported back. The spy walked into Uesugi Tiger's tent and knelt down, "Returning to the general, they didn't make any movement. The Jinyiwei surrounded the three tents tightly. It looks like we can't get any closer."
"However, I can observe that those members of Jinyiwei still hate Fan Xian and others very much. The sounds of torture can often be heard inside, and it seems that they are inflicting torture." The spies said.
"Keep watching." Uesugi Tiger came to a conclusion.
The general beside him came over and said in a low voice, "General, I think the strangeness in this incident should not be limited to what we have seen so far."
"What do you mean?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
"Fan Xian has been tortured all the way, we can all see this, and he must have known it himself when he got here, he can't survive, the general also understands that Fan Xian and the second prince of Northern Qi are fighting in dire straits, and now If the second prince has great power, if Fan Xianru is directly handed over to Nanqing by you, then he will die." The general said, "If this plan is adopted, then it will be shelved in the same way as the general. Here, even though he has been tortured, he still has his life, and Fan Xian's root is in the capital city, if he waits until someone from the Overwatch Council arrives, Fan Xian may be able to escape."
"Overwatch Council?" Uesugi Tiger asked, "Will they anger the prince just because of a commissioner?"
"The general forgot that the prince cannot interfere with the affairs of the Overwatch Council, and the second prince killed Fan Xian privately, so he must have put the blame on the general. If the Overwatch Council were to intervene, then the second prince would be fine no matter what." They dare not touch Fan Xian," said the general.
Only then did Uesugi let out a sigh of relief, "Boy Fan Xian, you really are full of conspiracies and tricks, so I am seeking peace with Nanqing now. If I kill him, I will definitely raise troops from Nanqing and go straight north. This is not your Majesty's responsibility." mean."
"General, what if we directly capture the second prince alive?" The general said, "The gimmick of the [-] army has already bluffed the people of the two countries, but our Daqi is not powerless to resist, but the general also knows that now Although His Majesty regards peace as the most important thing, it is also because we are not fully sure that we can defeat Nanqing. Moreover, if our army is overwhelming, if we directly capture the second prince alive, then no matter how big the deal is, we will have the final say at that time. .”
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is very important in the eyes of the people of Nanqing. The emperor of Qing will negotiate peace with us no matter what, and it will be more than enough to get back the territory ceded last time. If we succeed, the emperor will return." Do you blame the general? No, you will only trust the general more, and..." The general did not continue.
The latter matter is the matter of Uesugi Tiger's own obscenity.
After thinking about it, the general was worthy of being a general, and what he said and did seemed to make sense, so he nodded slowly, "But now that Fan Xian is being suppressed, what should we do?"
"Your Majesty didn't order the general to be investigated. Jinyiwei is the same as the Overwatch Council. In the upper capital, the general may not be able to touch the same judge, but now in the land of Xihu, why should he order the general?" will say.
Uesugi Tiger naturally understood this truth, but he always felt a strange feeling that he couldn't explain. He didn't know where it came from, and he always felt uncomfortable, but it didn't matter. He immediately said, "Pai San Qian Qingqi, start searching the mountains!"
"The last general obeys!" The general accepted the order and immediately turned around and walked out of the camp.
At this time, Uesugi Tiger leaned back on the seat. He had an ominous omen somewhere, but he still didn't know where the problem was.
........................
"what!"
"Um……"
"Oh!"
"what……"
The sound of screams was still coming out of the tent.
Tongzhi was sitting on a chair with a large table in front of him. He was grabbing a chicken leg and eating on his own.
Fan Xian sat across from Tong Zhi, sandwiching the food in front of him.
"Mr. Fan, Xihu's dishes are not as good as ours." Tongzhi said.
"I guess it's a matter of raw materials. The cooks in the army should also be from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The food and grass have been burnt clean. The current products should be from the Turkic tribe." Fan Xian said, sending a chopstick of fatty meat to his mouth Later, I felt a little tired, so I vomited it out.
At this moment, Fan Xian said, "You're tired, call someone else."
"Ah..." Gao Da shouted, then nodded, and walked to Fan Xian's side again.
"Hey, my lord, how can I keep these two brothers tired all the time, come on." Tongzhi pointed to a Jinyi guard behind him and said, "Go and shout for a while."
The man walked over laughingly, and began to scream, "Ah... oh... um..."
Amidst the screams, several people happily started eating and drinking.
"Mr. Fan, I really didn't know that Si Lili was... No, the Commander-in-Chief was so secretive. If it wasn't for this matter, I might never have known the true identity of the Commander-in-Chief." Tong Zhi said.
Looking at this simple-minded fool in front of him, Fan Xian also smiled, but now he still has to be polite to him. After all, he was working under his subordinates, and he had to bow his head under the eaves. It is a very good way for your lord to get in touch with His Majesty, think about it, my lord, how many people can know the real identity of the commander?"
"Very few." Tongzhi replied.
"That's right, Jinyiwei is a very secretive organization, and the commander-in-chief is even a close confidant of His Majesty. Her status can be imagined, so you must know that this is a person who entered Daqi's interior with the same adult." It's an obvious sign." Fan Xian said with a smile, "That's how I got to where I am now, step by step."
Tongzhi was taken aback, and immediately cupped his hands, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your guidance."
The two smiled embarrassingly, with deep meaning in their smiles.
After nightfall, the Qingguo military camp was peaceful and serene.
Those who had nothing to do went to bed early. At this time, a person who was anxious ran past the tent and went straight to the center of the camp.
"Fan Xian is here! Report to the Second Highness! Fan Xian is here!" The voice of the deputy general came from outside the tent to the inside of the tent, and the deputy walked into the tent excitedly. With a firm body, he got up from the bed at the back. He didn't lift the curtain, but walked out from behind the curtain sideways.
This is a good thing, otherwise the lieutenant general's life would probably be gone. Looking at the second prince's eyes, there was some comfort in the ferocity.
"Are you there?" The second prince poured a cup of tea and asked indifferently.
"Back... back to Your Highness... here... here!" Apparently the deputy general also knew that he had disturbed the Second Highness's Chun Xiao. At this moment, his face was covered with sweat, and he knelt in front of the hall with his head bowed, not daring to say a single unnecessary word.
The second prince glanced at him blankly, didn't say anything more, finished drinking the tea in his hand, put it next to his hand, and then continued to ask, "What's the situation?"
"Northern Qi's barracks are heavily guarded, so we can't enter to investigate and find out what's true, but I did see Fan Xian's carriage entering, and also saw his entourage." The lieutenant general said, "I don't know about the others, but Gundam is the Tiger Guard, I recognize it. come out."
"Oh?" Only now did the second prince understand that Fan Xian had definitely joined the Northern Qi army.Moreover, Uesugi Tiger and Fan Xian have a deep hatred. At this time, Uesugi Tiger should already be greeting Fan Xian's family with a whip, so at this time, he only needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements without thinking about other things.
He lay back on the seat before he said, "Is there any news?"
"Not for the time being, Second Highness," said the lieutenant general.
"Back off." The second prince nodded.
The lieutenant then walked out.
The second prince poured another cup of tea before drinking it.At this time, the curtain in the direction of the bed behind him was slowly opened, and a body like a lotus emerging from water wrapped in a thick veil appeared there. The second prince looked at the bed and smiled slightly, "Linger, Wear more, it's cold in here."
"Hot." Ye Linger only said this word, and walked to the side of the second prince. She didn't shy away from it at all, and sat on the lap of the second prince, and said softly, "Fan Xian is here?"
The second prince embraced Ye Linger and nodded. He took a deep breath, just smiled, and did not enter into deep communication, still staying above words, he sighed softly, "After all, this day is still coming."
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Ye Linger asked with a smile, stroking the second prince's chin gently.
The second prince swallowed, he seemed to be much worse at resisting temptation than his father.However, he was still patient, but he enjoyed it. He said slowly, "Fan Xian's matter has become a foregone conclusion. Now, let's think about how to go back and explain to Father the Emperor."
"After all, it's a war now. Of course, it's no surprise that one or two people died. I believe His Majesty can accept it. If it wasn't for the sacrifice of the commander in the army, everything else should be acceptable. Besides, we returned with a big victory. If After the peace talks are over, we will hold Bei Qi under our feet again, and His Majesty will definitely reward you." Ye Linger laughed.
The second prince smiled and buried his face in the gentle village, unable to extricate himself.
………………

"General, the deployment is complete." The general returned to Uesugi Tiger and said.
At this time, Uesugi Tiger was already in uniform, and the battle started, with a long knife in his hand and a full horse under his feet.
"Found it?" Uesugi Tiger asked.
"Because of the peace talks a few days ago, I didn't find the location of the other party's base camp in detail. Now it's easy to find. After all, if you want to hide here quietly with an army of [-], it is impossible." The general said, " They are located seventeen miles east of Fenghuzhai, the army is all together, and our spies have penetrated into the opponent's barracks!"
Wars between the two sides, spies and assassins, poisoning and burning food are indispensable. From ancient times to the present, the most valuable thing in the war era is information, so if you want to march, you must have top-secret information to be safe. Uesugi Tiger marched for so many years, relying on caution , he may not be able to outsmart Fan Xian in terms of scheming, but if it is in a war, it is not certain who will win.At this time, Uesugi Tiger was facing the second prince of the Qing Dynasty who had never fought a serious battle, and whoever was stronger and who was weaker could naturally judge.
Intense preparation is one of Uesugi Tiger's means. His soldiers and horses are not like ordinary people's soldiers and horses. His soldiers and horses will train intensely on weekdays, and they are almost in the stage of preparing for battle every day. , so his soldiers and horses are naturally in a state of high tension all the time,
"This time, it was to capture Nanqing's second prince." Uesugi Tiger said, "According to the report from the spies, that Nanqing's second son is sitting in the central camp with about 300 people around him. If we attack at night, the other party will Definitely no defense."
"You must hit with one hit. Remember, if we capture the opponent's general alive, none of our three thousand Qingqi will die. If we don't catch them, we will never return! Do you understand!" Uesugi Tiger drank.
"Understood!" Although the voices of the soldiers were low, their tone was still determined!
Everyone's eyes were fierce. This battle is Uesugi Tiger's last stand. If it succeeds, it will become famous. If it fails, it is very likely that it will be as Fan Xian said, and there will be endless suspicions. In the end Evening festival is not guaranteed.
Of course, Uesugi Tiger understands the importance of this battle, so his group of people are all carefully selected warriors. This time, he understands that Fan Xian no longer has any ability to influence the situation that is a matter of success or failure. I don't have any problems with myself, this time, he will surely succeed!
Thinking about it, Uesugi Tiger understands, but the danger of this trip is still very high, so he can't take it lightly now.
"Attacking the enemy camp at night, the most important thing is to be fast, it must be fast! The camp is only half a stick of incense away from the outside of the camp when they found us. Remember to kill people as soon as they are found, and you can't let anyone go. But you can’t leave the army! After encircling the camp for the first time, listen to the order and make a decision!” Uesugi Tiger said, “If you don’t succeed, you will be benevolent! Kill!”
"kill!"
The army rose up, and the blood-red maple leaves flew between the sky and the earth.
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, he certainly knew what had happened, but he was a little too calm at this moment.
"Moved?" Wang Qinian suddenly raised his head and listened.
Don't blame him, Fan Xian's hearing is astonishing, Wang Qinian only heard it now, and it's normal, when the noisy and messy footsteps outside came into the room, Wang Qinian frowned and said to Fan Xian, "My lord , where did they go? Could it be that they surrounded us?"
"We are in the other party's military camp, why are we surrounding ourselves?" Qu Han looked at Wang Qinian with his mouth half open, and Wang Qinian looked at Qu Han with a little embarrassment and smiled, "Then you say go do it." Why did you go?"
Qu Han didn't know, and looked at Fan Xian.
Fan Xian took a deep breath, "Should have gone to Qing Kingdom's camp."
"Qingguo's big camp?" Hearing this word, several people looked at Fan Xian in surprise, and even Zhidu looked at Fan Xian with a little surprise, "Why did you suddenly go to Qingguo's big camp at this time?" Didn't they talk about making peace?"
Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully, he is someone who can put himself in another place.
Fan Xian can probably guess what Uesugi Tiger is thinking now. When he entered the Northern Qi camp, Fan Xian knew that Uesugi Tiger would make one of the three actions. The first one was straightforward. Killing Tongzhi, of course, this choice will completely break with the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Such a result is not what Uesugi Tiger wants, so when there is still a way out, Uesugi Tiger will not make such a choice.
And the second choice is to go to the Nanqing camp and capture the second prince of the opponent.
This point is the safest option, and this option can also bring very good results to Uesugi Tiger. If the second prince is in his hands, then Uesugi Tiger will have the capital to negotiate with Nan Qing, and he will also have the power to negotiate with Nan Qing. No matter which side the Northern Qi negotiates with, it will not kill Uesugi Tiger. After all, a prince of the Qing Kingdom is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. Even if Emperor Qing wants the second prince to die, it is impossible to let him go like this Let the prince die no matter what.
The last option is to capture the second prince and kill Tong Zhi and Fan Xian.
This option is the option that Fan Xian is most worried about, and it is also a very possible option, but obviously Uesugi Tiger is not in a hurry to take this step. If Uesugi Tiger is in a hurry to take this step, Fan Xian can only kill the other party directly, then the second prince His life may be about to stay.
The most subtle part of Fan Xian's game is that here, he is betting that Shanhu will not dare to despise the emperor, and he will not dare to despise the child on the Dragon Throne in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Tongzhi is the commander of Jin Yiwei, if he kills him, Shangshanhu can only turn against Shangjingcheng, and Si Lili will not let him go, but if he has the second prince in his hands, this is the number one wonder in the world on the surface. The work belongs to Uesugi Tiger, and no one can kill him.
At this time, Fan Xian was about to wait for this step, and how to take this step was left to Uesugi Tiger.
But Fan Xian will not be without countermeasures. Since this is the case, why not let him go as he pleases. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the car will find a way to the front of the mountain. Fan Xian is not in a hurry. After all, all he has to do is wait.
Under the darkness of night, Fan Xian suddenly felt a very familiar voice.
A voice came from outside the tent behind, "Fan Xian...Fan Xian!"
"En." Fan Xian hummed quietly, walked to the corner of the camp, and sat down. The people around immediately understood and did not look over.After seeing that there were no problems around, Fan Xian said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"You guessed right, Uesugi Tiger has gone." The person who spoke was none other than Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi was begged by Fan Xian to go out to take charge of the nearby investigation work, and he was also responsible for keeping an eye on Uesugi Tiger, so Yu Zhenzi's strength would definitely not be discovered by Uesugi Tiger, so Fan Xian was not worried about his safety.
"How many people did you bring?" Fan Xian asked.
"I heard from them that they are three thousand light cavalry. It seems that they want to go directly to the other party's base camp to capture the second prince. What? Do I need to kill the second prince before they go?" When Fan Xian exposed the crimes committed by the second prince and the eldest princess, Yu Zhenzi was already very angry. Now that he finally had the chance, Yu Zhenzi immediately showed his dislike for the second prince.
Fan Xian curled his lips, "It's useless for you to kill the Second Prince now, it's not the time to let him die, don't worry, when the time comes, the knife will be for you to play with."
"Then what are we going to do now? Don't tell me that you just found out about this and then went to sleep peacefully. I can't sleep anymore. The weather is about to change. Who can sleep." Yu Zhenzi hurriedly said, " You really have a big heart, I have never thought about so many things."
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they eat this bowl of rice, they should do this job. What can we do if we don't?" Fan Xian smiled wryly. , are you ready?"
"It's been fixed a long time ago. As soon as they went out, I took your little brothers until they were almost done. I also told them when they left. Don't let them run around at will. After all, they get lost in those places. But I’m really lost.” Yu Zhenzi smiled, “By the way, I want to ask you something, I didn’t understand the so-called straw boat borrowing arrows in your book, you told me These are all immortals, so why is Zhuge Kongming so majestic that he can observe the sky at night and figure out where the wind is going and when it will blow? Is this something that can be seen?"
"Northwest wind tonight," Fan Xian said.
"You will too?" Yu Zhenzi looked at Fan Xian in astonishment.
"It's in the book, you can read it yourself." Fan Xian said.
In fact, he doesn't know, it's just nonsense. The northwest wind has been blowing these days, so he just said it casually. I have already found it, so I can say it casually.
"Then I'll go to study the books. You take care of yourself. If you have anything to do, just light a fire here. I will come with someone. You and I are also half relatives. If you call me big brother, I will also come here." So I will always take care of you." Yu Zhenzi said.
Fan Xian half opened his mouth and said in surprise, "Where do you have such a big face, you are still half a relative? Why should I call you big brother? I also have a collection here about Qimen Dunjia."
"Brother, you can give orders if you have something to do, and my younger brother will answer!" After finishing speaking, he ran away without looking back.
The coolness of the night turned into a little cold, the bone-piercing cold wind did not blow in the brightly lit tent, nor did it blow on the happy two people, even though they were not wearing clothes, just wrapped in quilts Having fun.
Qingguo's camp was located near Fenghu village. Everyone knew that Fenghu village was the territory of the Xihu people, but after the second prince led the army here, he didn't pay attention to the Xihu people here. In the eyes of the prince, the noble country of Qing doesn't need to pay attention to these people.
While being backed by a powerful country, the second prince is also not afraid of the Northern Qi people. The once invincible appearance of Da Qi was the second prince's nightmare when he was a child, but now that Nanqing is proud of himself, the powerful national power is enough to make the surrounding Shut up everything An Sheng listened to, and even reached the point of doing whoever was unhappy, so in order to live a better life, the surrounding small countries did not dare to provoke Qing.
However, Qing, a behemoth, disappeared for a period of time after fighting with Daqi for three years and directly turning Daqi into Northern Qi. Although the war broke out recently, it did not cause any big waves. It was just a small fight at the border. Therefore, all the small countries are also watching the movement of this behemoth with covetous eyes.
During this period of time, all eyes have been focused on Xihu, which is the western border gate of the Qing Kingdom, but the second prince did not regard this place as a battlefield, but as a place to get promoted and get rich, and it is also a place to hold greater power. Therefore, the second prince, who was strategizing, did not know that his calculations had already been included in others, and he had also become a pawn on the chessboard.
Uesugi Tiger reached the depths of the dense forest. At this time, he stopped and stared, and asked, "How far is it?"
"Back to the general, it's the same as what you saw." The general said, "The faint fire in front is that."
"This..." Uesugi Tiger was stunned.
The general also couldn't believe it, but he could only say affirmatively, "When the last general was patrolling here, he did see that the army was stationed here during the day, and there was a look of making a fire and cooking. That's right."
Uesugi Tiger frowned and looked at the situation in front of him, a little puzzled. The camp in front of him was like half of the camp with 5000 people, and most of it was dark. At this time, Uesugi Tiger was on a high slope, and the camp in front of him It is a low-lying place, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Although it is backed by a mountain, the other places are high slopes. How could someone set up their own camp in such a place?
What's more, there are few lights in front of you at this time, and you can't tell how many people there are. In addition, Uesugi and others made a surprise attack, and they dare not light torches and other things, so it is impossible to see what is going on with the other party. The light below is abnormally dim , It is not clear how many people are there, who is there, the huge camp is just a piece of darkness.
This time, Uesugi Tiger panicked, he didn't know what to do.
If an ignorant and ignorant general down here asked the entire military camp to go to sleep instead of dividing troops into guards at this time, Uesugi Tiger really didn't expect it.
In this era of wars, they all fight half-armies, that is to say, for example, if there is an army of 1, then there must be at least [-] people guarding the army at night. Uesugi Tiger is a conservative, and he will need [-] to [-] soldiers. Ten thousand five, soldiers who perform their duties, even those who can no longer fight, there will be [-] soldiers left. They are all soldiers who do not sleep and train at night. He has never seen such a situation that no one is left, only a hundred people It's just a vigilant guard.
"General, do you want me to take the lead and go down to have a look?" the general asked.
Uesugi Tiger looked at the general indifferently, "Can you confirm that they didn't move camp before night?"
In fact, when he asked this sentence, Uesugi Tiger already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to know, and listened to the general to confirm with him again.
The general knelt directly on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "When you return to the general, the general will not say a single lie. If the general does not believe it, the general will enter the enemy camp alone and burn the enemy camp, so that the general can see clearly." .”
"No need." Uesugi Tiger said with a cold face, "Since this is the case, it is clear that the other party already knows that we are coming, and now, there is no way to retreat."
At this time, Uesugi Tiger was struggling in his heart. He didn't believe that the second prince of the Qing Kingdom was a person who didn't know how to use troops, and he also had tactics in setting up troops. It was obviously an illusion to carry them like this. He didn't dare to underestimate this person, but I have no way out, and now that I sent troops has been discovered, if there is no gain, then when I return to the camp, Tong Zhi will definitely make a big fuss about my behavior tonight, and then there will be no way to argue, plus a fan Leisure, the consequences are disastrous!
Thinking of this, Uesugi Tiger had already put all his eggs in one basket. He drew out the long knife, tightened the rein in his hand, and raised the long knife impressively.
The long knife reflected the moonlight and shone on the faces of everyone below.
murderous look!
Get up!
"Come on!" With a loud shout, following the roaring shouts and the sound of killing, three thousand light cavalry headed straight for the camp!
Impressively, the torches in his hands lit up, and wherever they went, there were not so many soldiers for them to kill. Uesugi Tiger, who thought he was going to fight against thousands of troops, not only failed to kill him at this time, but also because of the nearby The shouting was too loud and startled the soldiers in a barracks. Fortunately, those soldiers only started up and did not enter the battle. They could not catch up with the cavalry and were killed by the follow-up cavalry in the rear.
All the way to the charge, there was only a little interception, and the big camp was right in front of us!
"I knew it would be so easy, but my mother would still burn a piece of food and grass! Burn the second prince directly, and what's going on now?" Uesugi Tiger said angrily, with a single sword hanging horizontally, he tore the curtain of the camp to pieces, and The guards next to him were no match for the three thousand light cavalry. Within a few moments, they were already lying on the ground, blood flowing like a river.
When the army came back to their senses, the three thousand Qingqi were completely surrounded by the big tent.
"Soldiers of Nanqing! Now you generals, the second prince of Qing is in my hands. If you take a step forward! I will let your second prince return to Xihu!" drank.
Randomly, three thousand soldiers uttered the same words.
"If you take a step forward! I will let your second prince return to Xihu!"
Does anyone dare to move here?No one dared to move, only heard the screams from the tent, the second prince said sharply, "Who are you!"
