"Continuation, have you noticed anything wrong with Yan Yun recently?"

Xue Wanche pulled Duguzhen to a secluded place and asked in a low voice.

Duguzhen's expression changed, he looked around and asked, "Did you see something? Why do you say that?"

Xue Wanche said anxiously: "I have nothing to do today, and suddenly remembered the words Yan Yun said when he beheaded my left guard soldier, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong. This... This is clearly a rebellion! Continue the work , don't you hear that you are thinking carefully?"

Dugu Zhen sighed and said: "Only you are so slow! Is it wrong to think of it after so many days? This matter has been in my heart for several days, but it's just not easy to talk about it. After all, brothers are all Yan Yun brought someone back to rescue him, and...and Marshal Yuwen did go too far. At first, I thought it was natural for Yan Yun to have some resentment, but these days his words and deeds are getting more and more aggressive. I think he is probably I don’t plan to serve the imperial court after returning to the Sui Dynasty.”

"What about this?"

Xue Wanche said anxiously: "You and I are good brothers who were killed from the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood. Since you have already seen Yan Yun's thoughts, why didn't you tell me? No, let's go find him together. You must persuade him well, if you let him go on like this, what good will happen in the future?"

"advise?"

Dugu really sneered and said: "You don't know what kind of temperament Yan Yun is? He is a man who can't pull back nine bulls! I think if we really go to him and speak clearly, we will fight all the way The relationship that came out is really broken. If it doesn't work out, he will send someone to take you and me down immediately!"

Xue Wanche said: "How come, Yan Yun values ​​loyalty, we came back from Sashui all the way, Yan Yun will not miss this kind of affection. I can't just watch him walk on the evil path, and the evil path will be fine. , that is clearly a dead end! No way! If you don’t go, I will go by myself, and I will persuade him!”

Duguzhen grabbed Xue Wanche and said, "Why are you so stupid?"

Xue Wanche frowned and said: "It's fine if you don't go, why are you dragging me. I want to see if Yan Yun is as you said, and immediately sent someone to tie me up!"

Dugu really gritted his teeth, and simply figured out what he had guessed.

"If he didn't have the idea of ​​treason long ago, how could he have that map in his hand? After two years of preparation for this Eastern Expedition to the imperial court, the maps in the hands of the generals of the armies are as detailed as Yan Yun's? Yes, think about it, what Yan Yun said to the soldiers in the past few days was clearly trying to instigate the soldiers to revolt! In my opinion, he crossed Sashui to save people. Something planned."

After hearing Duguzhen's words, Xue Wanche's expression changed drastically.

"How is this possible? Even if he planned a rebellion long ago, he could have predicted that our Tai Sui army would be defeated in Sashui? Your guess just now was based on the reason that Yan Yun had already guessed that the army would fail. I don’t believe it, he could have predicted that the Tai Sui army would have such a disastrous defeat in Sashui! Continuing Gong, you are also a cautious and careful person. Tell me, before going south, did you ever think that the army in Sashui would be defeated by Goguryeo? Is it defeated by people?"

Dugu Zhen said: "Even if the army can't guess when they go south, can't they guess when the army has run out of food under the city of Pyongyang?"

Xue Wanche was startled, then shook his head and said, "I still don't believe it. You said he planned to snatch the body of Old General Mai Tiezhang by the Liaoshui River. Then let me ask you, all the generals in the army except His Majesty the Emperor and the important officials in the court that day , how many people know the exact time of the agreement with Ulji Wende to redeem the body of old General Mai Tiezhang? You don’t even know, how could he, who has not joined the army, know!”

"Furthermore, at the time of Sashui, Liu Shilong let go of Ulji Wende, which was the root cause of the defeat of the army! No one else chased him out, but it was Yan Yun who led his seventeen soldiers to chase Ulji Wende away. De. If it is true as you said, Yanyun has long been looking forward to the defeat of the army, and it is too late for him to be happy when Ulji Wendeok is gone. Why should he chase? In order to catch up with Ulchi Wendeok, Yanyun is wearing dozens of arrows. False, how do you explain this?"

"This……"

Dugu Zhen was at a loss for words, and was stunned for a moment and said: "Anyway, he is not as loyal as you said! This person has a deep scheming heart, and it is by no means that he just became rebellious."

Xue Wanche sighed: "Continuation, I know you look down on Yan Yun. He comes from a poor family and has a low status, but he is a respectable person. Xue can see this clearly. Even if it is true as you said, he has already turned his back on him. , I still want to persuade him."

Dugu groaned inwardly, thinking how could I forget, this idiot also received the life-saving grace from Yan Yun?On the day when Ulchi Munrye attacked the camp on the north bank of Sashui, it was Yan Yun who rescued him with his troops, and even gave him a credit for beheading the general of Goguryeo. How could I forget?

"Never mind!"

Dugu really thought about it and said: "I have no prejudice against Yan Yun, am I also afraid that he will die? Since you want to persuade him, I will go with you, but..."

"Just what?"

Xue Wanche asked.

Dugu Zhen said: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If Yan Yun is really determined to rebel, if you and I make things clear, what will he not allow you and me to do? Then you and I have thrown ourselves into a trap, looking for death by ourselves ?"

Xue Wanche said impatiently: "Then what do you say!"

Dugu Zhen said: "I see it this way, you go to invite Yan Yun, just say that I have bought a few wild game here, and a few pots of old wine found in the Goguryeo fortress, I will go back to Zhang Luo, you don't want to persuade him Whatever, just say that I want to invite the two of you to drink and invite him to my tent. We will find a chance to persuade him after drinking for three rounds. In this way, if we turn our faces, we will not die without a place to die .”

Xue Wanche thought about it for a while, and this was indeed a perfect plan. If Yan Yun couldn't be persuaded, at worst, he and Duguzhen would leave immediately with their own soldiers.

"Okay, I'll invite him now."

Dugu Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't go in a hurry, go back and arrange the soldiers first, if there is something wrong, you and I will immediately take the horses and leave."

Xue Wanche nodded and said: "Okay, you go back and make arrangements first, and I will invite Yan Yun later!"

……

……

After Duguzhen returned to his military tent, he sat down on his buttocks, as if his strength had been sucked out of him.Xue Wanche had already gone back to his camp to make arrangements, but at this moment Dugu's heart was still beating wildly.His complexion was very ugly, perhaps because of fear, or perhaps because of excitement, his pale complexion had a tinge of sickly blush.

"Yan Yun! Don't blame me for being cruel, you are the one who led the way."

Dugu Zhen murmured.

He reached out to pick up the wine bag from the side, and took a big gulp to calm down a little.He didn't want to persuade Yan Yun, but he wanted to take advantage of Xue Wanche's opportunity to invite Yan Yun to drink and kill Yan Yun.Only apart from him can Duguzhen feel truly safe.escape?Don't be funny, without a map, without a guide, without food, where can you escape?Yan Yun has so many soldiers and horses under his command, if he escapes, he is afraid that he will be chased and killed by a large group of troops and shot into hedgehogs if he can't go for thirty miles!

Since the opportunity came to him by himself, how could he let it go?

Dugu really remembered seeing Yan Yun and Xiong Kuo Hai talking in a low voice just now, and thought angrily in his heart, that guy must be trying to win people's hearts.Xiong Kuohai is a fierce general, and Yan Yun, the 1000 heavy armored infantry under his command, cannot fail to hold him firmly.From this point of view, Yan Yun is already preparing to attack without any haste.I'm afraid that if you don't make it to Liaoshui, everyone's generals will be replaced by his cronies!

At that time, even if I want to do something, I will have no chance, and I can only stand helplessly at the mercy of others!

"hey-hey!"

Dugu really sneered and thought, isn't it crazy speculation to kill Sashui?Although I am well-known in the family, but because I am not a son-in-law, I am not valued by the family at all. Otherwise, how could I be a little general from the fifth rank with my own talents?I planned to defeat the whole army, but I was the only one who could bring back a team. If it was really successful, even if the emperor didn't want to give him a big reward, his status in the family would be improved a lot.I am a person who is not valued in the first place, if I can work hard to make a good future, then I have nothing to regret.

Now a better opportunity has come, as long as I can take the opportunity to kill Yan Yun, and then...get rid of Xue Wanche, and create an illusion that the two are at odds with each other, the team of more than 2 people is not myself Did it take over smoothly?As long as the arrangement is proper, no one will see any clues!Even if Yan Yun's cronies were suspicious, what else could they make of it after Yan Yun's death?

Dugu was really excited to think that if he could really bring the team of more than 2 people back, then he would undoubtedly stand out in front of His Majesty!

The nine generals have all been defeated, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been abandoned by them. If I return safely with my troops, haha!Even if there is no reward for the time being because of the defeat of the expeditionary army, will it be far behind to add up to the title of Marquis and General in the future?

"Come on!"

Dugu really shouted.

A few soldiers came in from outside the tent and bowed their heads: "What orders does the general have?"

Duguzhen called them to the front and whispered a few words, the soldiers were obviously stunned for a moment, but seeing Duguzhen's expression, they immediately nodded and went out to make arrangements.Not long after, fifty personal soldiers assembled, and Dugu Zhen's personal brigade commanded a few words in a low voice with a serious expression on his face.After getting the order, fifty personal soldiers quickly found a place to ambush outside Duguzhen's big tent, with steel knives out of their sheaths, just waiting for Duguzhen's order.

After the personal soldiers hid well, Duguzhen was still worried, he called his personal soldier brigade to come over and give orders again.

"Later I will come out of the military tent under the pretext of being convenient. You just need to see me rush in and kill people as soon as I come out. Yan Yun and Xue Wanche are trying to rebel, so don't show mercy! If this happens, I will protect you as a fifth-rank general." !"
