Fang Xie sat down cross legged on the earth Kang, leaned against the wall and looked out of the window. He didn't close the window in such a cold climate. He didn't wake up until sun Kaidao, who was standing in the room, trembled. Reaching out to pull the window back and close it, he turned back and apologized to sun with a smile: "thinking about things, he forgot that it was difficult for Mr. to resist the cold."
Sun Kaidao hurriedly said, "it doesn't hurt. My subordinates blow the cold wind and have a clearer mind."
"Several doubtful points?"
Fang Xie asked.
Sun Kaidao stretched out three fingers: "There are at least three places... First, if Lord Mou really wants to invite the general to get together for a drink, it's strange that he doesn't invite him for the Spring Festival. Second, if Lord Mou really just wants to invite the general to drink, the news should be reasonable brought by general Cui. But general Cui hasn't come back since. Third, why does Lord Mou suddenly invite the general to drink Is there any change? "
"These three doubts are based on whether Lord Mou wants to invite the general to drink or send him a head?"
Sun Kaidao took two steps back to bring himself closer to the fire: "If it is the former, then these three doubts can be ignored. But if it is the latter, these three doubts reveal the true intention of Lord Mou. What my subordinates haven't figured out is the third point, what made him suddenly make up his mind. My subordinates once said that he didn't dare to do too much to the general if he wanted to return to the court. He robbed the general's war merit because it was the only thing he had command He won't miss the opportunity. "
"Later, he never withheld our food and grass. From this, we can see that his subordinates guessed well at that time. Even if he felt guilty about the general, he still wanted to play down the matter and try his best to recover it. He sent a lot of meat before the Chinese New Year. There was a sudden change in just ten days after the Chinese New Year. His subordinates thought about it and could only think of one reason."
"Say"
Fang Xie said a word lightly.
Sun Kaidao cleared his throat: "because the general threatened him."
"I guard fan Gu and don't go to the stronghold. What do I threaten him?"
Fang Xie asked.
Sun Kaidao shook his head: "My subordinates don't know what happened. Maybe we should send someone to explore the stronghold. If Mou Liangbi really has a dirty mind, the first thing to deal with is not the general, but Cui Zhongzhen. If Mou Liangbi really wants to kill the general, Cui Zhongzhen is afraid that he will either be killed or trapped in a cage. When Mou Liangbi killed 16000 rebel prisoners of war, my subordinates asserted that this was the case People's hearts are actually very cold. If he can kill general Cui, he won't be arrested and locked up. Of course, he's worried that killing Cui Zhongzhen will cause dissatisfaction with other generals of the Sui army. Maybe he just put general Cui under house arrest. "
"The generals of the Sui army won't resist Mou Liangbi's killing the general, but if you kill Cui Zhongzhen, others will be in danger. Therefore, although Mou Liangbi is a vicious man, his subordinates prefer that general Cui is still alive."
"There is no shortage of experts under the general's command. Although the Sui army's stronghold must be heavily guarded, it can't prevent a large group of people and two experts from entering. The general can send someone to set out now, arrive at the stronghold before tonight, and go in after dark. Return immediately tomorrow morning, and you won't miss the day after tomorrow."
Fang Xie nodded: "just follow what Sir said. I just don't understand. Mou Liangbi suddenly changed his attitude. Why?"
Sun Kaidao shook his head slightly: "he should have encountered some crisis. He felt that if he didn't kill the general, he couldn't keep the army or his life. If he thought about it here..."
Sun Kaidao suddenly brightened his eyes: "it's possible!"
Wolf Rushan
Sui jundazhai
It has been nearly two months since there was no war, and the soldiers of the Sui army look very relaxed. In the first month, the generals will not use strict military laws to restrict these soldiers who are far away serving the country and can't go home for reunion. After all, if there is no war, these soldiers will have a holiday to visit their relatives as early as the twelfth month, and will not return until the fifteenth day of the first month Report to the army.
But now, they live in the mountains thousands of miles away from their hometown. They can't even hear a firecracker during the new year.
It seems that they are taking care of their emotions. God has become kind. The weather has been good for more than ten days. There is little wind and clear sky. Although it is still cold, a group of people crowded together to bask in the afternoon sun is also a pastime. Most soldiers are lazy with nothing. They don't know and won't think at all. Some dirty things are on such a brilliant day It's happening and going on.
Cui Zhongzhen looked at the rope tied to his hand and couldn't help laughing coldly.
This is the place where the soldiers who made mistakes were detained in the stronghold, but Prince Xu hardly used it when he was there, and Mou Liangbi only used it this time. This is a cave, which is blocked with stones outside, leaving a door. All the people guarding here are Mou Liangbi's confidants, and Cui Zhongzhen has been detained. So far, few generals in the stronghold know it.
Sitting opposite Cui Zhongzhen, Mou Liangbi didn't care about Cui Zhongzhen's sarcastic smile. His face was very calm and said, "I'll wrong the general for a few days. I'll release the general after the 15th day of the first month. I still need the general's support to fight against the rebels in the future."
"Do you need me to say thank you for not killing?"
Cui Zhongzhen asked with a sneer.
Mou Liangbi sighed and said, "you know my ability to do this. I have to."
"That's what you said last time."
Cui Zhongzhen looked into Mou Liangbi's eyes: "since you're already on this road, why make any excuses for yourself? You're a bitch. There's no need to decorate yourself with pure liangshude's words. It's disgusting."
Mou Liangbi was not angry, but shook his head: "Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't have the opportunity to display my talents and knowledge? It's a loss for the great Sui Dynasty, his majesty and myself. I've been in prison for more than ten years, and I've understood everything thoroughly. I once vowed that if I can see the sun one day, I still care about his morality and loyalty, or it's most realistic to make myself comfortable. Full The defeat of the national flag taught me another thing... If I make a decision, I will be disturbed by it. "
Cui Zhongzhen said coldly, "a will will will force you to show your true colors. Now I just hate that I was blind at the beginning and thought you were a good man, but it's just the same character as Li Xiaozong. Li Xiaozong died less than three months. Have you forgotten his end?"
"Li Xiaozong didn't expect Fang Xie to appear, so it's time for him to die. But now I have only one opponent. Who will compete with me except him?"
Cui Zhongzhen said, "do you think you can hide it from others?"
Cui Zhongzhen laughed: "the four words of heaven and earth are the most ridiculous. The sky is ruthless and the earth has no eyes. There is no justice in the world. If you place your hope on this kind of thing, you can only say that you are an idiot."
Cui Zhongzhen was silent for a moment, looked up at Mou Liangbi's eyes and said, "wait and see."
"OK"
Mou Liangbi stood up: "if I succeed, I won't kill you. I keep you like a pig and dog. Let you see how successful I am. I'll give you a lifetime to see if your bright future will save you."
……
……
Many people in the camp are talking about why they haven't seen general Cui for a long time. On the 15th day of the first month, Mou Liangbi ordered to resume training from tomorrow. The soldiers have been leisurely for nearly a month, and the day is finally coming to an end. Therefore, the soldiers under Cui Zhongzhen are a little surprised. Why the general hasn't arranged military affairs today. Later, after asking about it, they know that general Cui has been caught in the wind Cold has been unable to get out of bed for many days.
The army is short of medical officers and medicinal materials. The soldiers have nothing to do except pray for Cui Zhongzhen.
A few days ago, strangers came to the camp. Some said they were from the imperial army. Others vowed that it was your Majesty's intention to appoint Lord Mou as commander. However, when these strangers entered the camp, they were invited into the tent by Mou Liangbi, stayed for half a day and left.
After the group left, Mou Liangbi immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter. He said that these people were sent by his majesty to verify how the king of Xujun died in the war, and they didn't have any doubt. Mou Liangbi said that his majesty ordered him to temporarily command the people and horses until his majesty selected a suitable general to serve. There was no doubt about this, so they congratulated one after another.
It was particularly sunny on the 15th day. Early in the morning, Mou Liangbi asked his confidants to wait outside the stronghold and told him to tell Fang Xie immediately if he arrived. However, his confidants waited until the sun climbed due south on the only way up the mountain and didn't see Fang Xie's shadow. They went back to ask Mou Liangbi. Mou Liangbi's face immediately became a little ugly. If Fang Xie had a premonition that he wouldn't come, would he still come Can you lead the army to attack fangucheng?
The imperial envoy sent by your Majesty was cheated to houwu mountain by him. The killer he sent has not returned. If the imperial envoy did not die and Fang Xie did not die, he could not hide it after all. He told the imperial envoy that Fang Xie led troops to monitor the rebel Xida camp in houwu mountain. As soon as the imperial envoy left, he immediately sent his confidants to catch up and find a chance to start.
But now Fang Xie hasn't arrived. How can Mou Liangbi's heart not be disturbed.
"Send someone to meet you halfway"
He gave an order. Before his confidant left the house, he was stopped by him: "forget it. If it's too far away, it makes people feel strange. Go to the door and wait."
The confidant promised and ran out to wait. This time he didn't wait long to come back and came in with a thin man. Mou Liangbi saw and knew this man, who was the follower of Fang Xie nicknamed big dog.
"Yes, sir!"
The big dog came in and saluted. Then he smiled apologetically and said, "my general suddenly had a distinguished guest last night. The general couldn't get away for a while. Let me apologize to the adult first. The general said that he must come before tonight. He just hasn't seen that old friend for many years and needs to be with him for a while."
Mou Liangbi had doubts in his eyes and then passed away: "ha ha, it doesn't matter... There's nothing important, but I haven't seen your general for a long time, and he hasn't come to the stronghold for the new year, so I'm taking the liberty to invite you. Since general Fang will come in the evening, I'll just wait. General Fang has a wide friendship. I don't know where his friends are?"
"I'm an old friend in the capital. I don't know how I got to the northwest. The general was very happy to find it alone."
"Capital?"
The big dog nodded: "well, from the capital. If the adult has nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
Mou Liangbi sent someone to send the big dog out. After they left, his face immediately became gloomy. How can people come to the capital at this time? The war is in full swing in the East. It's not easy for people from the capital to cross the whole front. And Fang Xie has only been to fan Gu for more than a month. How can his old friends in the capital know that he is guarding fan Gu now?
Could it be that... The imperial envoy who sent the decree found out where Fang Xie was and found it?
If so, isn't your arrangement exposed?
After walking around the room restlessly for half an hour, Mou Liangbi thought more and more wrong. He went to the door and said to the outside: "go and prepare all the food and grass, order the five battalions of e-armour, E-B, d-armour, c-armour and c-ding to follow me down the mountain, and I will personally deliver food and grass to general fan Gufang. He ordered all the other battalions of the camp not to go out, otherwise it will be handled according to the military law."
Mou Liangbi clenched his fist and his eyes were cold.
