Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 198 Good Man Wei Shan
The envoy sent by General Qin Song Yang is called Yan Que, who is Song Yang's childhood friend and has been very close to him since he was a child, but Yan Que's official luck is a bit poor, and his good friend Song Yang has already become a county captain, in Nanyang County In Wei's Mansion, there is only one person under, but over hundreds of people, Yan Que is still a petty official, and no matter how Song Yang supports him, Yan Que has not been promoted due to various reasons, which is bad luck. .

It is also because of this that after Nanyang County Governor Lu Yu handed over the task of feigning surrender to lure the enemy to Song Yang, who was in charge of guarding the Dajianshan trail, he learned about the situation from his friends. In order to make meritorious service and get promoted, Yan Que took the initiative to ask for help. , Volunteered to serve as Song Yang's messenger of fraudulent surrender, and refused to give up no matter Song Yang's kind persuasion, and this kind of thing really needed someone who was absolutely trustworthy to come forward to handle it, Song Yang finally agreed to Yan Que's request, let Yan Que brought an entourage north to Ji County to send a letter to pretend to surrender.

Of course, being greedy for credit is greedy for credit, and Yan Que knew exactly how risky it would be to do such a thing, so Yan Que had already made psychological preparations for leaving and never returning, and quietly left a suicide note for him. Someone I can trust, lest I never return, and I can't even leave a few words of my heart to my family.

Fortunately, Yan Que was overjoyed at the smoothness of the matter. The letter of surrender had just been presented to the notorious rebel leader Xiang Kang, and Xiang Kang was immediately overjoyed. I gave Yan Que a reply letter, and asked Yan Que to take it back to Song Yang, so that Song Yang would be ready to respond immediately. As long as the Young Marshal took down the small town of Luyang to the west, he would immediately go south from Dajian Mountain.Yan Que was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Xiang Kang repeatedly, took Xiang Kang's reward and letter and left, and returned to the hinterland of Nanyang from the Dajianshan trail.

Because the small town of Luyang is still under the control of the remnants of the Qin Army in Ji County, and the entrance of the Dajianshan Trail is relatively close to Luyang City, in order to ensure Yan Que's safety, Xiang Kang specially arranged for a team of young marshals to escort Yan Que to the west. Jin, did not say goodbye until Yan Que was sent into the alley.As a result, seeing the back of the Young Marshal's army gradually going away, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, of course Yan Que smiled brightly, as if he saw the brand-new official seal and uniform of the Great Qin before his eyes, and then he brought a big smile to himself. The entourage who came ordered: "Go, go back and receive the reward."

Yan Que's entourage is called Yao Ying, who has been with Yan Que for many years. He was taken down by Yan Que because he was loyal and obedient. However, for the sake of safety, Yan Que did not tell Yao Ying that he went north to Ji County to contact the Young Marshal Army. The real reason is just that he was ordered to run an errand.So when the meeting was finally able to return safely, Yao Ying, besides being relieved like Yan Que, couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Yan, the matter is settled? Song Weicheng arranged for you to come north to negotiate with the bandits." , what is it?"

"Don't ask too much, anyway it's a good thing." Yan Que couldn't hide his joy, and said triumphantly: "Anyway, when we go back this time, besides receiving rewards, my rank ratio can definitely be changed."

"Then congratulations to Brother Yan." Yao Ying hurriedly thanked Yan Qun, then pulled the heavy package on his back very strangely, and said, "Brother Yan, what is in your package, why is it so heavy?"

"Don't ask too many questions, you will have a share when you go back." Yan Que still refused to answer, and said casually: "If you are tired, just let me know, and I will carry a distance instead."

Seeing that Yan Que's mouth was tight and he didn't say anything, Yao Ying, who was knowledgeable and interesting, didn't ask any more questions, but just walked honestly with a package full of gold on his back, while Yan Que strode ahead with a lighter package of daily necessities on his back. Happily, he first yelled a piece of Qin opera, and then sang a piece of Xialiba people, which is quite popular among Nanyang folks. His emotions were extremely high and his mood was extremely happy.

Extreme joy begets sorrow, just when Yan Que was so excited that he could barely dance, five or six soldiers of the Qin Army suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, holding long and short weapons to block the way of Yan Que and Yao Ying. Described as wretched, wearing a very long logo, shouted: "Stop! What are you doing?"

"Oops, why did you meet our own people?" Yan Que groaned in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "General, I am an official of the Great Qin Dynasty who was ordered to run a business. He is my entourage. .”

"Bring me the biography, I want to check!" Qin Jun said in a long and stern tone, and at the same time, a few soldiers of the Qin Army jumped out from the side of the road behind Yan Que and Yao Ying, blocking Yan Que and Yao Ying with long and short weapons retreat.

Seeing that there was nowhere to go, Yan Que had no choice but to honestly take out his ID card (verification), and Song Yang's own letter of introduction (biography), and put both hands in front of the commander of the Qin army. , Nashi took it over for a closer look, and then quickly raised his head and asked in doubt: "You are an official of our Nanyang County Wei's Mansion? Why did the official of the County Wei's Mansion go to Ji County where the war is going on? ? What's the difference?"

"Forgive me, General." Yan Que said cautiously, "It's a confidential matter, the higher-ups have explained it, so don't let it out."

"Don't let it out?" Qin Jun, the rogue-headed rat, became more and more suspicious. He first sized Yan Que up and down, and then carefully read Yan Que's biography, and said, "I'm sorry, I also have an explanation from my superiors, and we need to check closely. To passers-by, to prevent the bandits from pretending to be ordinary people to investigate the military situation, so I have to search you before letting you go."

"Search?" Yan Que was startled when he heard that, he hurriedly took a step back subconsciously, and said, "General, I have important documents with me."

"Don't worry, I won't touch your official document, so that you won't be able to pay the job when you go back." The commander of the Qin army said casually: "Also, I won't touch your money. We are the Qin army, not robbers who rob houses. .”

After all, the commander of the Qin army didn't give Yan Que a chance to distinguish, he just waved his hand, and his soldiers of the Qin army rushed up, held Yan Que and Yao Ying by force, and immediately searched them. Then naturally, the package on Yao Ying's body was opened first, revealing a bag full of golden gold. All the soldiers of the Qin army exclaimed, and the commander of the Qin army was also surprised and said: "So much gold? Where did you come from?" ?”

"This is the money of the county lieutenant's mansion. General, you must not touch it."

Yan Que was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he pressed Xiang Kang's letter tightly in his arms. Unfortunately, this action aroused the vigilance of the soldiers of the Qin army, and a soldier of the Qin army quickly pulled his hand away. , found the letter written by Xiang Kang to Song Yang from his arms, and presented the letter written on white silk to the commander of the Qin Army. Yan Que saw that his soul was gone, and he hurriedly shouted: " You can't read it, you absolutely can't read it, it's a letter from the county lieutenant's mansion, it's a confidential letter from the county lieutenant's mansion!"

"I'm a soldier who bullies me. I don't know the rules of Daqin? Our Daqin's confidential letters are all written on bamboo slips and sealed with mud. When will we write confidential letters on silk?"

The head of the Qin army sneered loudly, opened the letter very bluntly to check the content, and then looked at it. Of course, the rogue-headed head of the Qin army gradually opened his mouth, and then suddenly roared and cheered: "Brothers, We have made a great contribution! This is a letter written by the traitor Xiang Kang to us Nanyang traitors! Quickly, tie up these two traitors and take them back to our county lord!"

"Brother Wei, did the traitor Xiang Kang write to our traitor? What did he say?" Qin soldiers asked in surprise.

"Don't ask too much, you'll know when you get back." The commander of the Qin army refused to answer. Yao Ying kicked loudly and screamed loudly, cursing: "You bastards! I'm fighting the thieves at the front line. It's fine if you hide behind and don't help, but you dare to betray the country and seek glory. You want to dedicate our Nanyang County to the thieves .”

Yao Ying, who didn't know the truth, shouted for grievances, but Yan Que was in a state of confusion, thinking to himself, "Should I tell them the truth? Will they believe it?"

At this time, those soldiers of the Qin Army had already taken out the ropes and beat and kicked Yan Que and Yao Ying. They yelled and forced Yan Que to follow them to meet the magistrate of Ji County. After making up his mind, he secretly said: "I can't say it for the time being. Firstly, it is easy to reveal the rumors, and secondly, these small soldiers may not believe my words. It is safer to tell the truth after seeing the county magistrate of Ji County."

Yan Que's calculations were pretty good, but after seeing him walking back without saying a word, a soldier of the Qin army suddenly stopped the crowd, and pulled the rogue-headed Qin army commander to the side, and attached himself to him. He murmured in his ear, and the chief of the Qin army shook his head again and again, saying, "No, I can't do that. I, Wei Shan, are not that kind of person."

"Brother Wei, we know that you are a good person, but you finally have a chance to make a fortune. You can't just let us poor brothers miss it, can you?"

The Qin soldier asked back, then turned around and said to the other Qin soldiers: "Brothers, I have an idea. Anyway, we have already found the letter of Xiang Kang's rebel, and the credit has been made. Why don't we go now?" Kill these two traitors directly, and go back and say that they resisted arrest and resisted, we killed them in order to catch someone, but only found Xiang Kang's traitor's letter from them."

"As for the gold found from them." The Qin soldier patted the package on his back, and said with a smile: "Of course, brother Wei took more, and we divided the rest equally."

Before the soldiers of the Qin army finished speaking, Yan Que and Yao Ying's faces were ashen, and the other soldiers of the Qin army were all overjoyed, and they scrambled to say to the rogue-headed mouse: "Brother Wei, Brother Zhuo Ji's idea All right, let's do it, and let's all make a fortune."

"Brother Wei, you can take the pair of jade walls by yourself, and we will share the rest of the gold equally, right?"

Not to mention, although the chief of the Qin Army who claimed to be Wei Shan had a rogue-headed face and a wretched appearance, he was quite upright. Facing the temptation to get rich, he kept shaking his head and insisted on refusing to do such a wicked thing.It's a pity that the other soldiers of the Qin army were not relentless, and kept trying to encourage Wei Shan to kill people for money. A vicious Qin army soldier simply pulled out the dagger at his waist and said loudly to Wei Shan: "Brother Wei, You don’t want to get blood on your hands, I’ll do it! A pair of jade walls is yours, and we’ll share the rest equally!”

Roaring, the Qin soldier strode up to Yan Que, grabbed Yan Que's clothes and was about to kill him, Yan Que lost his mind and lost control of his urine on the spot, so he had to shout: "Stop, I have something to say! "

"stop!"

Wei Shan also rushed up in time, grabbed the Qin soldier who was trying to kill, and prevented his dagger from piercing Yan Que's stomach, Yan Que didn't dare to hesitate any more, and hurriedly cried Shouted: "General Wei, I am from Daqin, and I have always been from Daqin! I came to Ji County to surrender to the bandit army on behalf of Song Weicheng for Song Weicheng, the governor of Nanyang County in Daqin!"

"What do you mean?" Wei Shan was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered: "Speak clearly."

When things got to this point, of course Yan Que didn't dare to hide anything. He could only tell Wei Shan and others the truth about what happened, and honestly confessed that he went north to surrender because of the instigation of Nanyang County Governor Lu Wei. Wei Cheng Song Yang's arrangement, and has successfully gained Xiang Kang's trust.As a result, after knowing what happened, the faces of the soldiers of the Qin army who were afraid of Qin Fa changed drastically, but Wei Shan was half-believing and asked: "There is no evidence for what I say, why should I believe your words?"

"General Wei, if I was lying, why did I honestly follow you to see the county magistrate of Ji county just now?" Yan Que snotted his nose and burst into tears, and said, "I'm not afraid of being executed by your magistrate? Honestly, I followed you to see your county venerables because I was on a mission for the Daqin army, and your county lords only need to send someone to Song Weicheng to ask whether it is true or not, otherwise, I would have run away a long time ago."

Wei Shan was obviously shaken, and Yan Que hurriedly said again: "General Wei, General Wei, you have to believe me, you must believe me, if you kill me, you will only miss Lu Junzun's important matter! In the future, Lu Junzun will investigate the truth, if If you find out that I died at your hands, you must take the responsibility! You take me to your county lord, and ask your county lord to send someone to ask Lu Junzun, if I tell a lie, you will chop me up, I will never complain!"

Wei Shan nodded, and quickly said to the soldiers of the Qin army present: "Brothers, since this man named Yan Que dared to meet the county magistrate with us, it means that he must not have lied, so let's take him to see him." County Venerable, please send someone to investigate the authenticity."

"Brother Wei, do you want to kill us?" The soldier of the Qin army who came up with a bad idea to kill us for money screamed: "This man met the county lord and told the county lord what happened just now. With the county lord's temper, we How many still want to live?"

"You can't take him to see the county magistrate!" Other soldiers of the Qin army also yelled, saying: "Let the county magistrate know that we are going to kill people to get money, none of us can escape, and even if we don't kill our heads, we will have to be punished with military sticks." , don’t even try to run away!”

"Brothers, brothers, don't worry, you can rest assured." Yan Que hurriedly promised: "I swear to God, when I see your county magistrate, I will never talk about what happened just now, and I will never let you The county lord knows what happened just now!"

"Ghosts believe your words!"

Several soldiers of the Qin army roared to express their disbelief, and firmly opposed to taking Yan Que back to the magistrate of Ji County. Wei Shan was extremely troubled and said, "If we don't take him back, what should we do with him?"

Several soldiers of the Qin army turned their eyes to calculate, and even leaned close to Wei Shan's ear and whispered in a low voice. Yan Que eavesdropped hard, and vaguely heard the words "murder and kill", and couldn't help but be dizzy, and hurried to Wei Shan, who is upright. Kneeling down on his knees, he kowtowed desperately and said: "General Wei, General Wei, I can see that you are an honest gentleman, and you are even more loyal to our Great Qin court. You must not miss the important matter of our Lord Lu, and you must not miss it!" It’s a big event for our Lord Lu! It’s hard for us to hope to lure the thieves into the mountain road. If you kill me, I can’t bring the news back, and our Daqin army can’t block Xiang Kang’s thieves in the mountain road. gone."

Fortunately, the wretched-looking Wei Shan is indeed a relatively upright person. After careful consideration for a long while, he squatted in front of Yan Que and said kindly: "Yan Zuoli, since you have reached this point in your words, I really do I really believe that you are running an errand for Lu Junzun, but for the sake of brothers like me who live and die together, I absolutely cannot take you back to our county zun. How about this, as long as you promise me two conditions, I will I will let you go, let you go back and report to Song Weicheng directly, without delaying your important affairs."

"General Wei, please tell me, as long as you let me go now, I will agree to any conditions." Yan Que replied quickly.

"First, you have to swear to God, swear that you will never tell anyone what happened today, and just pretend that today's events don't exist." Wei Shan said, "Second, give half of your gold to my brother." Ladies and gentlemen, I am not greedy for money, but my brothers can't work hard in vain. In the future, on the battlefield, I will not only rely on them to kill the enemy, but also rely on them to protect my life. You should understand this truth."

"I understand! I understand! General Wei, you are really a good person, you are really a very good person. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you well, and I will definitely repay you heavily!"

Yan Que nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and quickly knelt on the ground to swear to the sky. He used his eighteen generations of ancestors, his wife, children, and children to guarantee that he would not tell the story of today, and he would always pretend that today's matter did not exist. Under the pressure of Shan, he quickly swore that he would not reveal a single word of what happened today to outsiders.Only then did Wei Shan nod in satisfaction, and he personally untied Yan Que and Yao Ying, and returned Yan Que's biography and Xiang Kang's letter to him. In addition to distributing it to the soldiers of the Qin army present, he insisted on giving Wei Shan a piece of jade wall as a thank you. Wei Shan refused repeatedly, so he had to accept it after thanking him.

The team of the Qin army who had been allocated gold fulfilled their promise and immediately asked Yan Que and Yao Ying to take the remaining gold and jade wall and go south on the mountain road. After a slight delay, he ran for more than twenty miles in one breath before stopping to rest. It was at this time that Yao Ying, who was running out of breath, asked Yan Que: "Brother Yan, what happened just now, do you want to go back after you go back?" Tell Song Weicheng?"

Yan Que thought about it, and quickly said: "You can't say it, you can't say it to anyone! We have just made a poisonous oath, what should we do if we violated the oath and blamed ghosts and gods? Besides, that old man named Wei Shan is so good, It also saved our lives, can we bear to let him be implicated?"

When Yao Ying nodded hurriedly, Yan Que added something in his stomach, and said to himself: "It must not be said, I told a few soldiers about Lu Junzun's confidential and important affairs in order to survive, if Lu Junzun found out and blamed him, I will not only It must be a waste of time, and maybe you may be sent to prison for questioning."

It was precisely because of this concern that when he went south and returned to Song Yang's camp, Yan Que did not dare to tell Song Yang what he had encountered in the mountain road, and told the other party, Yao Ying, to keep it strictly confidential and block it with ten gold. his mouth.Of course, Song Yang was overjoyed. In addition to immediately making military preparations to guard the dangerous points, he dispatched a fast horse to Ye County immediately to report the good news that the false surrender had been successfully succeeded to Nanyang County Governor Lu Wei.
