[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Road to Powerful Ministers

"Khan, please." This is Lie Ying's voice, it sounds full of energy, not weak from injury, Yun Weijue's heart sinks when he hears it, could it be that he really surrendered?

"General Lie, you are a man. Our hearts are as broad as the blue sky on the grassland. As long as you are willing to join us, the Great Khan can give you countless gold, silver, jewels, slave horses, and the army you bring is as long as you If you can control them, the Great Khan will not kill prisoners, and let you directly lead the army. The Han people let you march alone in the desert for half a year, without food, grass and livestock. They don’t regard you as their own at all. Sweat." The person who persuaded him to surrender should be a high-ranking official in Rouran, sweating profusely, and he should be Alikan's confidant.

"Great Khan, King Zuo Xian, thank you for your appreciation, but I am a Han, and my wife, children and comrades are all in the Central Plains. I will not work for the Great Khan. I'm sorry." Lie Ying's words sounded like It's not harsh, but at least it shows an attitude.

"You are not a Han. You have a high nose and deep eyebrows. Even if you are not from Rouran, you should be a mixed race. You have relatives in the Central Plains, and you can have brothers in the grasslands." A firm male voice, Yun Weijue guessed It's Ali Kan.

"What Khan said is true." There was a voice of agreement from the inner tent.

"General Lie, the Great Khan didn't kill you, didn't disband your army, and treated you so favorably. You people in the Central Plains say that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Wouldn't it be better for you to serve the Great Khan in the future?"

"People from the Central Plains will only stay in the city, they are no match for the Rouran cavalry."

"The Great Khan will definitely lead us into the cities of the Central Plains. The jewels, food, and beauties are all ours."

"It's all ours!" Everyone in Rouran yelled loudly, trying to persuade them. Some people spoke too fast, with food and drinks in their mouths. Yun Weijue couldn't understand what they were saying, but the meaning of persuading Lieying to surrender always the same.

"I know that you surrendered to save the lives of those soldiers. I don't need to kill them as long as you really surrender to Rouran. Think about it carefully. If you still don't surrender after three days, I will kill you. Kill one, and your soldiers will always be killed!" Ali Kan said calmly.

Lie Ying listened with a pale face, unable to refute.

"The people in the Central Plains don't have enough cavalry and war horses. They have already given up on you. You have to recognize this reality and go down and think about it." Zuo Xianwang said the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Lie Ying was escorted back by two Rouran men.

Yun Weixuan wanted to catch up with Lieying, but they are in the king's tent now, and the music and dancing have stopped now, if there is any movement, the sound will be too loud, and it will definitely alarm Rouran.

"Khan, it's better to put Lieying in shackles, he is good at kung fu, just in case..."

"No, he is reluctant to part with his subordinates. If he is the only one to go back, the Central Plains court will not believe him." Ali said, he is a rare combination of wisdom and courage among grassland people. Everyone's impression of grassland people is that they are brave But Ali Kan is different. He has been a hostage in Kucha for more than ten years, and he has honed his heart to be as tough as steel and as cunning as a fox.

"I'm afraid that the Han people will come to sneak attack. Today, the scouts came to report that they have found the battlefield, and the battlefield is not far from here."

"Don't worry, they are here, don't be afraid, the people of Rouran are not scared! But remember, if someone attacks the camp, Lie Ying cannot be allowed to escape anyway. I will use him to great advantage." Ali Kan resolutely road.

"Yes!" The confidant agreed, and just as he was about to say something, Alikan shouted angrily, and with the angrily his waist knife had already been slashed to the back.

Yun Weijue and Guo Ping were exposed. Yun Weijue knew that he was a three-legged cat so he didn't want to join in the fun, so he turned around and ran away. Guo Ping was superior in force and fought with Alikan and his henchmen.

Yun Weijue ran out of the tent, carefully avoiding the soldiers, and rushed to the outside.But the camp is so big, it's impossible to always hide, and when it can't hide anymore, Yun Weizhen has no choice but to face it head-on.The weapon Yun Weijue uses is a long sword. A long sword is actually not as good as a broadsword on the battlefield. Especially this kind of frivolous long sword is more ceremonial and decorative than practical. It is a pity that Yun Weijuan has no strength Not enough, the lightest big knife weighs more than ten catties.

Yun Weijue was wearing a golden silk soft armor, with sleeve arrows tied to his arms, and a lot of medicinal powder on his body, so it was no problem to deal with ordinary soldiers.When Yun Weijue and Guo Ping were discovered, the entire barracks became agitated, and other guards who had infiltrated were also exposed, and the entire barracks erupted with shouts of killing.

Yun Weizhen fought and retreated, escaped from the camp, and ran to the place where they hid their horses, thinking that they could not disturb Rouran's quiet layout, but they were discovered anyway.Yun Weijuan waited for a while, and seeing that Guo Ping and the guards were all there, he hurried the horse to gallop.

There were arrows coming from behind, and the eighteen guards were not weak in martial arts, so they fended them off one after another. Naturally, Yun Weizhen was guarded by Guo Ping.

"Don't chase anymore." Alikan ordered from behind.

"Khan!" The others didn't understand, there were only more than 20 people, and if they continued to hunt them down, they would definitely be taken down.

"Let them bring back the news that Lieying may surrender, and then Lieying will really surrender." Ali said confidently.

Yun Weijuan flew here for a long time, seeing that no one was chasing after him, and there were no falcons in the sky, he simply ordered to rest behind the sand dunes.The heart-pounding just now had her heart in her throat, and after Yun Weijuan's nervousness passed, her hands and feet went limp.

"Take a rest first." Guo Ping echoed, everyone got off their horses, Guo Ping asked: "Brothers, are you injured, Yuan Yan, how about you?"

"Don't worry, Boss, except for Xiao Shiba who was cut on his left arm, everyone else is fine." The new substitute resolutely replied.

"Success, pick four people who are in good condition to watch the wind, let's rest first, and the Rouran people won't chase after them." Guo Ping ordered.

The guards scattered in all directions, and Guo Ping helped Yun Weixuan to sit down, supported his back, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"No serious problem." Yun Weixuan was a little bit weak in speaking.

"What's wrong, where did you get hurt?" Guo Ping said anxiously.

"No, you forgot that I'm wearing gold silk soft armor." Yun Weizhen smiled reassuringly, and said: "Just now an arrow was shot, and it didn't pierce the clothes, but it was still strong, and I was injured .”

"Let me see." Guo Ping was about to reach out and lift her clothes to see the injury.

"Okay, it's all small bruises, it's not important, I have something important to discuss with you." Yun Weijue interrupted Guo Ping: "Rouran people are not chasing us now, but they must have relaxed , why don't we kill the carbine?"

"What are you doing back home, assassinating Ali Kan?" Guo Ping was puzzled.

"It will be even more difficult if Ali Kan is dead. The wise kings of the left and right are not vegetarians. At that time, not only Yunzhong County, but also the passes along the Great Wall will be attacked." Yun Weixuan rolled his eyes. He is not such a reckless person. : "I mean to visit Lie Ying. Lie Ying can be appreciated by Ali Kan, it must be his bravery in battle, and he has soldiers and horses under his command, which makes Ali Kan feel profitable. Obedience, this is common sense. If possible, let's play Mission: Impossible, what do you think?"

"Can Lieying's loyalty be guaranteed?" Guo Ping was only worried about this.

"The person recommended by Anzhi can't be wrong. Besides, don't I want to see it for myself?" Yun Weijue has experienced in the court for these years, and his eyesight has grown when he sees people, and he is very confident.

"That's okay, let the eighteen guards go back first, and leave a soldier who is good at knowing the way." Guo Ping suggested.

"No, I can know the way, let them all go back, it's dangerous in the desert, he's the only one guarding here, not to mention Rouran, the wild wolves can kill him." Yun Weizhen still insisted For the sake of the lives of subordinates.

Yun Weijue and Guo Ping made up their minds, and let the eighteen guards and the two cavalrymen who were good at exploring the terrain go back first, and they turned back. He bared his teeth and got on the horse.

Tonight is the last quarter moon, and the moon is only two hours high, and now it is pitch black. Yun Weizhen and Guo Ping arrived near the oasis, hid their horses, and walked for a while, looking at them. Come in.

Sure enough, after an attack, the guards in the camp of the Rouran people had to relax a bit, and after working hard for a day and a night, the soldiers were very tired at this time. Relying on Guo Ping's high martial arts skills, they directly touched the vicinity of Lie Ying's tent.

Rouran people want to win over Lieying, so the living conditions are naturally not bad. Lieying's tent is in the middle area, and the location is relatively good.In order to show respect, Alikan did not order Rouran soldiers to guard the tent door.But it was not easy for Lie Ying to escape regardless of the soldiers he brought. When Yun Weijue walked in all the way, he could see more clearly, it was loose inside and tight outside.

As soon as Yun Weijue entered the tent, a bright light came over. How could Lie Ying sleep peacefully in the enemy camp? He thought it was Rouran who wanted to kill him for revenge.

"It's me!" Yun Weiping shouted in a low voice with only trembling vocal cords without making a sound.

"cloud……"

"Quiet." Yun Weijue hurriedly stopped him from speaking, and Guo Ping came in annoyed. He thought there was danger outside, but he forgot that Lie Ying didn't know who they were. Chopped.

"Guo Ping, help guard, let's go in and talk." The last sentence was already addressed to Lie Ying.

"Yun Shuai why are you here, a gentleman can't stand..."

"Okay, time is tight, what are you talking about, I heard Ali Kan wants to persuade you to surrender."

"Yun Shuai is a clear lesson. Lie Ying's loyalty can be learned from the sky. He will never betray him. Now he is trying to survive in order to save the lives of his soldiers." Lie Ying immediately knelt on the ground to express his loyalty.

"Can I trust you?" Yun Weixuan asked uncertainly.

"Lieying is loyal to His Majesty, loyal to Yunshuai, and will never betray. If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning, and there will be no incense after death, and you will fall into Abi Hell, and you will never be reborn forever." Lieying immediately pointed to the blue sky and swore. People swear they mean it.

"Get up." Yun Weijue helped him up, and said: "It's a matter of great importance, and I have to be cautious. I believe in the loyalty of General Lie. If you can even betray the Central Plains that gave birth to you and raised you, how dare Alikan trust you?" If you can be loyal to Rouran, the benefits cannot be maintained for long, and when you are old and have no combat power, how can Alikan let you go." Yun Weizhen said that he believed it, but he kept beating.

"Shuai Yun..."

Yun Weijue was silent for a while, and said: "Sorry, General Lie, my tone was wrong. I am also half Han Chinese and half grassland people. I feel uncomfortable hearing their conversation today, and it is not aimed at you." Yun Weijue momentarily He couldn't control his emotions, but he realized right away that he should be emotional towards Lie Ying, beatings and threats are all natural, what if he really broke the boat and fell into Rou Ran's arms, what should he do? The words are pushed to the lineage.

"Shuai Yun is serious. You and I have two bloodlines, so it must be more difficult than ordinary people." Lie Ying was also a little sad when he talked about this. Because of his bloodline, he was embarrassed once or twice. If it weren't for his good martial arts , Many military exploits, but they can't stop the mouths of the Yanmen defenders.Now that he has such military exploits, rumors of betrayal spread out just after he was captured, and many people believe him, isn't it because of his blood?

"General Lie, now we are at a disadvantage against Rouran. The situation is not good. You also know that after half a year of marching, you can't even catch the shadow of Rouran. If you can have a spy in the Rouran army, you will be safe. .” Yun Weixuan tentatively said.

"What does Yun Shuai mean?"

"If Ali Kan insists on you surrendering, you can surrender after you perform a few scenes. When I go back, I will let the people from the Yanmen branch of Jianyitang take your family away. There will definitely be rumors. Maybe it's an opportunity." Yun Weizhen warned.

"Yun Shuai..." Lie Ying couldn't believe it. He was a general from the third rank, and he surrendered wherever he could. What would he use to prove his innocence?

"Don't worry, don't forget, I'm not just Yun Shuai, but also Prince Zhaoye. With my guarantee, you don't have to worry. You just need to strengthen your resolve and think about Su Wu. There will definitely be rumors when the time comes, and His Majesty will cooperate." Mine, if there are any rumors that are not good for me, you just know the trick to lure the enemy in your heart, and you must not mess up your own position." Yun Weijue reminded him to plan ahead.

"Yes. Commander Meng Yun will never give up, and Lie Ying will never give up." Lie Ying knelt down and accepted the order.

"I carry a seal with me, and I'll write you a note of 'feign surrender to lure the enemy'." Yun Weixuan took out the seal and was about to write a certificate to Lie Ying.

"No, no, Lie Ying can trust Yun Shuai." Lie Ying anxiously wanted to stop him, thinking that something she said was inappropriate, making Yun Weijuan think that she didn't believe him.

"Holding my head up on the battlefield and working hard, if I had an emergency, wouldn't I have tired you. You see, there are two copies, one for you and one for your eldest son. It's just that in the Rouran Army, such things , you have to keep it properly, once it is leaked, not only you will not live, but the [-] soldiers you brought will not survive, and even my dynasty will be in danger." Yun Weixuan ignored his obstruction and wrote directly Next, stamped the seal again.

"The last general will not disgrace his life!" Lie Ying took the certificate with both hands, kowtowed deeply, and prostrated himself on the ground, he understood how much Yun Weixuan trusted him.

Yun Weijuan told Lieying to take care, and left quietly with Guo Ping.

Lie Ying looked at the four-character cloth stamped with a seal in the tent. He couldn't calm down for a long time, and walked back and forth in the tent. Finally, he lit the oil lamp, took a deep breath, and burned the cloth on the lamp. up.The flames rose high, and Lie Ying couldn't help but threw the cloth on the ground. Seeing that the cloth was completely burned, he crushed the burnt ashes with his feet, and then turned off the oil lamp to sleep peacefully.

Yun Weijue waited behind the tent where the chores were placed, saw Guo Ping's erratic figure and came back without a trace of sound, and asked, "How is it?"

"He burned the cloth," Guo Ping replied.

"That's good, let's go." Yun Weijue smiled, and Guo Ping flew away quietly from the Rouran garrison.He gave the cloth strip to Lie Ying, and he was [-]% sure that Lie Ying would dispose of it. This was the last step of temptation. Only in this way could he further confirm that Lie Ying was loyal to the court.

Yun Weizhen will send the other proof he promised to Lie Ying's family. After all, Lie Ying will return to his hometown after making great contributions, so there can be no problems with such details.

It took three days for Yun Weijue and his party to meet up with the previous 100-member team at the nearby city gate, and it took another three days for them to return to Yunzhong County.As soon as I came back, the bench was still hot, and the emperor's reprimand letter arrived.

It turned out that as soon as he left, Wei Shang reported his whereabouts on the back.Yun Weizhen has a high status, if something bad happens, the guard of Yunzhong County will be in bad luck, Wei Shang dare not take such a big responsibility.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! Take risks with your body! Are you the only one in Yunzhong County?" "Three-legged cats are still restless in their third-rate kung fu, and such a big Yunzhong County can't let you alone!" " What is Wei Shang doing for food? You can’t do such a small thing well!” “If you dare to commit danger alone again, get lost and go back to the capital!”

Yun Weijue looked at the letter written by the emperor, and could almost see the exclamation mark and the emperor's expression of surprise, annoyance, and fear, and the emperor was so angry that he swears.Yun Weijue was a little happy in his heart, the emperor really cared about his safety, didn't he?

Such gratification did not last for a few days, when news of Lie Ying's surrender came.

Regarding Lie Ying's feigned surrender, Yun Wei did not dare to write a letter to tell the emperor, because he was afraid that the letter would fall into the hands of someone who cared. Ping couldn't care about Guo Ping's hard work for days, so she asked Guo Ping to report back to Beijing.

When the news of Lie Ying's surrender reached the capital, the emperor must have known that this was part of the plot.But Yun Weijuan was still worried, and only hoped that the emperor really believed him.

By the time the news reached the capital, the emperor had already met Guo Ping, secretly.When the news of Lieying's surrender to Rouran spread on a large scale and was officially announced in the court, the emperor made a fuss as usual, reprimanding Yun Weizhen and the generals of Yunzhong County and Yanmen County.

This is normal. Whoever surrenders to the enemy with his elite cavalry will not be scolded. Besides, it is just a reprimand, and those who do not go to the ranks will not even have a fine. Putting it on others can only be said to be the emperor's generosity. .But Yun Weijue is not someone else. The courtiers have long seen the emperor’s indiscriminate protection of Yun Weijue. Seeing the emperor’s merciless reprimand this time, they all thought it was a sign that the emperor could not tolerate Yun Weijue, and immediately encouraged He got up, and wanted to take this opportunity to pull Yun Weizhen off his horse.

The censor began to search for the papers, and saw that the emperor just kept the papers for unknown reasons. He didn't want to scold the person who wrote the book bloody and then quit his job as usual, so they all snorted and saw the light.

In the early morning court this day, the courtiers who were restless began to amplify their moves.

"Your Majesty, the rebel general Lie Ying has already surrendered to Rouran. Both Yun Weijuan and Guo Anzhi have committed the crime of failing to discipline their subordinates. Your Majesty is merciful and generous, but Yun Weijuan is going to treason the country!" Yushi's words are not surprising Die endlessly.

"Presumptuous, that's Prince Zhaoye, you have to know what you're talking about!" The emperor was careless at first, but he was taken aback by this old minister. Which song did he sing?

"Your Majesty, the old minister's words are true, Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's words!" The old man knelt directly in the center of the golden hall, and said, "Why did Lie Ying surrender Rouran so easily? The Han people in China have half of Rouran's blood, and if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different, and Yun Weixuan is like this."

"Your Majesty, you have seen Yun Weijue every day, and you have a deep memory of his appearance. He has fair skin, a high nose bridge, and sunken eyebrows. He obviously looks like a foreigner. It's just that this son is usually sanctimonious, and he is deceived by poetry and writing. For Your Majesty and the courtiers, if it weren't for the incident of Lie Ying, the veterans would never have thought of it."

"Also, the old minister heard from the leather goods merchants who came and went to the border that Rouran Khan King Ali Kan admired Yun Weijue very much. He said that if Yun Weijue was willing to surrender Rouran, he would treat him as the Right Wise King. Your Majesty, this It is already well known in the border towns, but it is a pity that this thief, Yun Weixie, controls Yunzhong County, so the news has not reached the ears of His Majesty the capital."

"What's more, Rouran Khan King Ali Kan spoke disrespectfully to His Majesty, saying that if we hadn't had Yun Weijuan guarding the border, his army would have broken through the Central Plains long ago. Now Rouran and other grassland tribes, the Western Regions Knowing that there is Yun Weijue, but not His Majesty, how insane is it! Yun Weijue has only been in charge of Yunzhong County for one year, and has such a huge momentum. If it is not for his daily management, who would believe it! Yunzhong County Wasn’t the former guard Wei Shang the one who was begged by this thief? Using this opportunity to greatly increase the power of the generals on the border, and even rule the people on the ground, your majesty, this is obviously premeditated!”

"Your Majesty, Yun Weijue formed a clique for selfish interests, supported soldiers and self-respect, attempted to belong to a foreign race, and vainly attempted to subvert our dynasty. Such a treacherous and evil person, I implore Your Majesty to kill him to set the court order! To secure the world!"

This old minister's impassioned statement turned Yun Weijue into a traitor and thief, and the emperor was stunned for a moment. If he hadn't known that Lie Ying had surrendered falsely, he would really have believed it So two points.

"Presumptuous, Yun Weizhen is a super-grade prince, and now he is out on the bloody battlefield, how can you wait for idlers who enjoy wealth and honor in the court to slander, I don't know what it means!" The emperor is just acting, so naturally no one can slander Yun Wei like this Ding.

"The old minister's words come from the heart, and every sentence is true. I implore Your Majesty to kill this thief, so as to set the policy of the court. The old minister's blood admonition, death without regret!"

"Stop him!" The emperor suddenly stood up and shouted, he knew that things were going to get worse when he heard the word blood remonstrance, but the old man was determined. On the gold pillar, the skull was split and blood flowed.

The hall suddenly fell silent, an official who was close, tremblingly put his hand into the nose of the old official who hit the pillar, knelt down and shouted like a mourning concubine: "Master Wang has passed away with blood—"

Immediately, a courtier knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's blood shows his will. It can be seen that Yun Weixuan's evil deeds have reached the point where both humans and gods are indignant. I implore Your Majesty to kill this thief and set the court order!"

It is said that there is a causal connection between the death of old man Wang and Yun Weijue's crime, but the ministers will be far-fetched in this way, and under the influence of such an atmosphere, the emperor is suddenly stunned.

Countless ministers lined up, knelt in the middle of the hall, and knelt down on the ground with one voice, insisting: "I implore your Majesty to kill this thief, so that the court can be set right!"
