I'm a Buddhist foster child
Chapter 81 Kill Sui Lord!
Wu Chao is obviously very confident in his figure, I am afraid that no one has ever said that he is fat.
So today when I first heard Yang Jian say that he needs to lose weight, I stared in disbelief.
Yang Jian was indeed the type of murderer, he said with a smile: "Don't you want to escort this rascal fat man?"
"Yes!"
The imperial guards stepped forward, pulled Wu Chao up from the ground, and were about to escort him away. Wu Chao struggled and said, "Wait...we haven't finished talking yet!"
Yang Jian said with a smile: "Sure enough, the surname is Wu. What kind of good things can you say out of your rascal's mouth? I have changed my mind. Since you can't say good things, then don't say anything."
"you……"
Wu Chao's voice did not fall to the ground, Yang Jian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Stop his mouth, from now on."
"Hmm!" Wu Chao's mouth was blocked, and he looked exactly the same as He Quan at that time. He could only stare blankly, unable to speak a word.
"Wait." Just as Wu Chao was about to be escorted down, Yang Jian suddenly spoke, and the guard stopped and looked back at Yang Jian.
Wu Chao immediately became complacent, thinking that Yang Jian was only threatening and frightening himself, and they wanted to figure out from their own mouth who was Chen Ren's accomplice, how could they just dismiss themselves like this?
Unexpectedly, Yang Jian said quietly: "He Quan, I see that you still have something to say, do you want to kick him again?"
Lieutenant He Quan stood behind dutifully. Hearing what Yang Jian said, his cold face suddenly lifted, and a pair of eyes that had never had any expression shone brightly. The brilliance was like the cold light on a kitchen knife. Authentic Roasted Duck Willow leaves that can slice Wu Chao into [-] pieces.
Wu Chao stared at Yang Jian in disbelief. He never expected that Yang Jian would stop suddenly, instead of continuing to press him, he let the little eunuch kick him.
Just now when He Quan came in, he had already kicked Wu Chao, now He Quan was familiar with the road, strode over, squinted his eyes, and gave Wu Chao a hard kick in the abdomen with a bang.
The guard next to him hurriedly let go to avoid being accidentally injured. Wu Chao was tied up and couldn't stabilize his center of gravity. He Quan kicked him, and with a sound of "boom--", a bastard came and turned over, leaning back and flipping over. On the ground, there was almost a back roll.
"Uuuuuuu..."
Wu Chao fell to the ground. After kicking him, He Quan didn't finish, and came over again, trying to kick him in the face. Wu Chao quickly dodged, yelling, as if to say: Don't hit him in the face!
The eyelids of the guards next to him twitched, until Yang Jian waved his hand, the guards went up and dragged Wu Chao up and escorted him back to the prison.
Wu Chao got a slap on the face, and was escorted back. He was relieved, and he was a little lucky...
Wu Chao was escorted away, Wei Yi looked at Yang Jian puzzled, and said, "Son of Heaven, shall we stop interrogating Wu Chao? His accomplices have not been interrogated yet, if he stays in another palace, he is really a Cancer!"
Yang Jian said lightly: "Haven't you seen it yet?"
"See it?" Wei Yi scratched the back of his head and said, "See what?"
Yang Guang also saw it, but he was a child at this time, and it was inconvenient to say more in front of so many people, but Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, was a smart and insightful person. When Yang Jian said this, he already understood, and said: "Wu Chao It is telling the truth, and I don’t know who the accomplices are.”
"What?!" Wei Yi and Xiao Yan shouted almost in unison.
Xiao Yan said: "Brother Huang, what...how do you explain this?"
Wei Yi said: "I am confused. Could it be that the person who instigated the assassin was not from Chen? Isn't Wu Chao from Chen? Why doesn't Wu Chao know who his accomplices are? The general thought he was talking about scoundrels What about talking!"
Yang Jian rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that this person hides very deeply and very well, Wu Chao...is just his pawn."
Wei Yi became more and more confused, scratching the back of his head.
Yang Jian explained: "This person is hiding in the dark. If what I expected is correct, the party must have known that we are arresting the chief envoy, so Wu Chao was deliberately sent to prison."
Wei Yi said: "But, but Wu Chao is Wu Mingche's nephew, the great general's nephew, and he is also a general. He is a respectable person among the Nanmanzi. Who can take advantage of him?"
Yang Jian chuckled and said, "Using it depends on whether you want it or not. Now that Da Sui and Daliang have been turned upside down, do you think Wu Chao is worth it?"
Thinking about it this way, it really is.But Wu Chao did not hesitate to be arrested in order to complete the task, which sounds crazy.
Yang Guang squinted his eyes and frowned, thinking in his heart, this accomplice has been hiding in the dark, even Wu Chao doesn't know who he is, so how did they communicate?
Yang Guang raised his little hand and grabbed Yang Jian's robe, Yang Jian immediately lowered his head and said, "What's wrong, son?"
Yang Guang propped up his little feet, covered his voice with his small hands, and whispered something in Yang Jian's ear, Yang Jian nodded immediately and said, "Wei Yi."
"The humble general is here." Wei Yi clapped his hands in response.
Yang Jian said: "If the accomplices hiding in the dark want to communicate with Wu Chao, they will definitely leave clues. You should go and check Wu Chao's house now to see if there are any clues."
Wei Yi responded, strode away from the main hall, and quickly went to Wu Chao's house.
Wei Yi went for a while and then came back, because Wu Chao's house was not big, there was nothing inside, except for two rough clothes, he had nothing on him.
Wei Yi said: "Reporting to the Son of Heaven, Wu Chao didn't hide anything, maybe... he burned the letters he wrote?"
Yang Jian shook his head and said, "It's too loud to burn."
Yang Jian sent He Quan to monitor Wu Chao. Burning things is not as simple as in TV dramas. Even burning a piece of paper, there is smoke and smell. Such a big movement, He Quan's mind is so delicate, how could it be possible? Undetected and therefore never burned.
Zhongguan He Quan said: "Son of Heaven, please ask the minister to go and check again."
The house is shared by He Quan and Wu Chao, so He Quan should know better. Yang Jian nodded and said, "I will go with you."
Everyone came to the house where He Quan was staying. The house was not big and the decoration was very simple. He Quan went in and began to rummage through the boxes, but Wu Chao's luggage was very simple, except for two pieces of tattered clothes that had already been found. , nothing.
Everyone searched inside and out, but they still couldn't find anything.
At this moment, He Quan suddenly said: "This is not something that belongs to the minister."
He Quan didn't find any clues about Wu Chao's belongings, but he found something strange about his own.He Quan likes to read to pass the time in his spare time, so he brought some scrolls in his luggage, but the scroll in his hand was not his own, so he shook it a little.
"Crash-"
A few sheets of paper fluttered down from inside.
Yang Guang, the little bun, was standing next to him, reaching out to pick up the paper on the ground, he couldn't help but frowned, because he couldn't understand the words on it at all.
Clearly, Yang Guang knew all these words, but when they were combined together, the donkey's lips were not right with the horse's mouth, and he didn't know what they were talking about, as if they were written in heaven.
Anping Wang Xiaoyan was tall and tall, and happened to see the letter in Yang Guang's hand, and said in surprise, "Could it be...a cipher text?"
Xiao Yan explained: "This kind of cipher text is often used in communications in the military. For fear of being attacked by the enemy and stealing the secrets of the documents, they always use this kind of cipher text to communicate, and only their own people can understand it."
There are always a lot of secrets in marching and fighting, especially when sending troops to communicate, they are likely to be attacked by the enemy, so they will write some encrypted documents, even if the letters fall into the hands of the enemy, they will never read Understand.
And even if you are one of your own people, you have to hold the corresponding key to read it. In this way, you are not afraid of the spy placed in the army, and you can kill two birds with one stone.
Xiao Yan said again: "The foreign minister has fought against Chen Jun several times, and has also intercepted the cipher text. From this point of view, it is true that Chen's cipher text is definitely not wrong."
Yang Jian said: "That's the case, can King Anping understand this letter?"
"This..." Xiao Yan smiled honestly, and said: "This...the lowly generals are ignorant, so they really don't understand. There are also many kinds of ciphertexts written by Chen people. They are always very cautious, and the ciphertexts are tricky And a lot."
The "cipher disk" corresponding to the ciphertext is not fixed. For the sake of security, different armies are accustomed to using different cipher disks, and some armies have multiple cipher disks for insurance purposes.
Xiao Yan is not from Chen, and he doesn't know which cipher disk Chen chose, so he can't decipher it at all.
Wei Yi said anxiously: "What should I do! That's right, I will force Wu Chao to interrogate Wu Chao and ask him to decipher the cipher text for us! If he doesn't decipher, I will punish you!"
When he said this, Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, suddenly laughed. Although Xiao Kui's smile was prettier than Yu Chi Chi Fan's, Wei Yi always thought it was a sneer.
Sure enough, Xiao Kui sneered and said, "General Wei thinks that Wu Chao is being used willingly to attract our attention. Does this kind of person confess if he is tortured?"
Wei Yi: "..." What you said is not without reason and cannot be refuted.
Wu Chao looks foolish, out of shape, with a ruffian appearance, but he is actually a tough one.
For this plan, Wu Chao is obviously a chess piece, and he is also a chess piece that will never speak. Master Xiao Kui, if it is not good for him, Wu Mingche will attack Jiangling aggressively, and when the time comes, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and Daliang will be in danger.
Everyone pondered for a while, and Anping Wang Xiaoyan suddenly said: "Actually... maybe someone can decipher the ciphertext."
As he spoke, his eyes hesitated, and he even glanced at Liang Zhu Xiao Kui twice.
Looking at his meaning, Wei Yi thought that Xiao Kui could interpret the cipher text, but it didn't seem like it. Wei Yi was confused and wisely didn't say it.
Xiao Kui's face was dark and he didn't speak, as if he had acquiesced, Xiao Yan said: "My eighth younger brother, King Hejian, is good at this."
Yang Jian suddenly realized, no wonder Xiao Kui's face was so embarrassing, it was King Hejian who was good at deciphering cipher texts, and at this time Hejian King Xiao Cen was in prison and was about to break through the prison.
Xiao Yan said: "Old Ba...in the army, he has deciphered several ciphertexts in the past, and he is quite experienced. Chen Ren's ciphertexts change a lot. If there is anyone who can decipher ciphertexts, it must be Laoba. "
Yang Jian smiled, did not expect Hejian Wang Xiaocen to still be engaged in "espionage work"?
Deciphering the cipher text requires a "code disk", which is mostly some inconspicuous documents, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, or Buddhist scriptures, etc., and the words on the cipher text are compared one by one according to the rules, and the correct document can be obtained.
Hejian Wang Xiaocen once studied Chen Ren's cipher texts and is familiar with Chen's rules. Moreover, Xiao Cen has a brilliant literary talent and has the ability to remember with a photographic memory. However, all the books he has read are all printed in his heart. Text is also beneficial.
Xiao Kui, the owner of the Liang Dynasty, hesitated, but still cupped his hands and said, "The king of Hejian is going to prison. Whether or not he will be appointed as king is up to the emperor."
Hejian Wang Xiaocen was deliberately framed by Yang Jian because of treason and threatened Yang Guang, and he was thrown into prison. He is still in prison now. Whether he should use Hejian Wang is a question...
In the dark prison.
Wu Chao was imprisoned, and happened to be a "neighbor" with Hejian Wang Xiaocen.In fact, the distance between the two cells was quite far, but Wu Chao had a loud voice, pulled his neck and said with a smile, "Hejian King, I heard that you were imprisoned here because you took the blame for me?"
Hejian Wang Xiaocen heard that Wu Chao was the one who ordered the assassin, and he was completely wronged, but in fact Xiaocen was imprisoned not because of the assassin, the assassin was just an excuse. The problem is that he blackmailed the little prince Yang Guang, and wanted to overthrow Xiao Kui and take the throne himself.
Hejian Wang Xiaocen said coldly: "An old dog! What does it have to do with you!?"
"Hey, listen..." Wu Chao said, "Is this out of embarrassment? Tsk tsk, I'm really worthless for you."
Wu Chao sat on the ground, looking very leisurely, and said with a smile: "Look, is this filthy place for a king like you to live in? You are the king of the Liang people, and now you have ended up in this field. Locked in the same prison as me, Chen Gou, and eating the same prison food, I, Chen Gou, can't stand it anymore, and feel sorry for you!"
The chains on Hejian Wang Xiaocen's body rattled, his whole body trembled with anger, and he didn't want to talk to him more.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chao couldn't stop talking, and kept saying: "You are the son of the former Liang master after the clan of Daliang. I think you are a hundred times better than that shit Xiao Kui. Why can't you be Liang's son?" Lord? This is too unfair, isn't it?"
Whoa- whoa-
The chains on Xiao Cen's body were still vibrating, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.
Wu Chao didn't need him to answer. Hearing the sound of chains, he smiled more confidently and said, "How? I'm very angry. Why don't we cooperate? I'm the nephew of General Chen Wu Mingche. I'll introduce you to our emperor, the emperor." I will definitely send troops to help you, and it will not be difficult to kick Xiao Kui when the time comes, I..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, but at this moment, he heard a gentle voice say: "Didn't I tell you to shut up this rogue's mouth? Could it be that this rogue lost weight successfully? From my point of view, he is still so fat." Very much, need to reduce again.”
Wu Chao was originally smiling, laughing foolishly, but when he heard this gentle voice, his smile dried up immediately. Looking around, he saw someone walking in slowly, with a cute little doll beside him.
Isn't it the Sui Lord Yang Jian and his precious son Yang Guang?
Yang Jian walked over leisurely, stood at the door of Wu Chao's cell, looked him up and down, and said, "I'm so fat, I still need to lose some weight."
"Who are you calling fat!" Wu Chao wanted to refute, but the prisoner had already opened the cell door, rushed in quickly, and gagged his mouth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Wu Chao was speechless for a moment, and no one could understand the series of mummings.
Only then was Yang Jian satisfied, nodded and said, "That's good, let him be starved for two days first, he must be so fat that he won't die from starvation."
"Hmm!!" Wu Chao shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to tell Yang Jian that he was not fat.
Wu Chao is tall, strong and powerful, from top to bottom there is no fat at all, all muscles, he followed his uncle in the military field, and he boasted that he had a good body, but he didn't know that he was ridiculed when he reached the boundary of the Sui people. ridicule.
Yang Jian ignored Wu Chao and walked in, towards Hejian Wang Xiaocen's cell.
When King Hejian heard Wu Chao's instigation, the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with oil, and the flame became more and more intense, almost turning into a fire dragon that burned the earth.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yang Jian walked in, and when he heard Yang Jian's voice, it was clearly that gentle voice, but Xiao Cen felt a chill coming from his head, and instantly extinguished the raging fire dragon, or was killed by a snake once. Ten years of being afraid of well ropes, Xiao Cen always felt that Yang Jianlai was not kind.
Xiao Cen calmed down, tried his best to put on a fearless and arrogant posture, and said, "Why, Lord Sui can't hold back, is he going to kill me?"
Yang Jian came over and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to chop off your head."
"Who, who is afraid?!" Xiao Cen immediately poked his neck and said, "My son of Daliang, I have never been afraid of anything!? Winners and losers, kill as you want! Why humiliate people?!"
Yang Jian lowered his head and said to Yang Guang: "Son, you see, this is the standard foreign strong but middle capable."
Yang Guang, the little bun, nodded with a teachable look on his face.
These words were clearly addressed to Yang Guang, but Xiao Cen felt that they were meant for himself, and glared angrily, saying, "What are you going to do?! Didn't you come to kill me?"
Yang Jian said lightly: "If I want to kill you, I can just call the executioner, why do I have to come by myself?"
Xiao Cen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you want?"
Yang Jian raised his lips and smiled, and said boldly: "I need you to decipher a copy of Chen Ren's ciphertext."
As soon as the cipher text was uttered, Wu Chao in the cell in front seemed to have heard it too, and his voice of non-stop protesting stopped, as if he was listening to them.
Xiao Cen smiled comprehensibly, his face was like dead ashes, he revived, showing joy and excitement, and said: "That's right... only I can decipher Chen's ciphertext, no one understands the ciphertext better than me." , you want my help!"
Yang Jianwei didn't deny it, saying: "It's cheap to talk to smart people, that's exactly what happened."
"You're dreaming!!!" Xiao Cen rebuffed straight away, then burst out laughing, as if he was full of pride, and said, "You're dreaming!! You villain who framed me, even if I die, I won't decipher the ciphertext for you of!"
Yang Guang saw that Xiao Cen was ignorant of flattery and uttered wild words, completely disrespectful, and was about to get angry when Yang Jian raised his hand to stop him.
Yang Jian was not angry at all, but said: "It's okay, since you don't decipher the cipher text, it's okay, anyway, I know it's Chen who is doing the trick, so well, I'll just kill Wu Chao, and it's done once and for all. The nephew of Chen Wu Mingche, if you kill him, Wu Mingche will not target me, Tai Sui. After all, Tai Sui is far to the north and has a strong army. If Wu Mingche wants to fight, he will first choose Jiangling, which is the central barrier. Jiangling, razing Jiangling to the ground... Tsk tsk, this is the end of the good Jiangling. I am not from Jiangling, so I don't think it's a pity. But some people will think it's a pity..."
Yang Jian walked over, stared at Xiao Cen's appearance, and said: "For example, you, Liang Ren and Hejian King, would you feel it a pity? The descendants of Daliang's clan ruined your Daliang with your own hands, let alone supporting you. You are not worthy to be the king of a country, even if you are in hell, you will have no face to face the ancestors of Daliang, and you will never have peace."
Xiao Cen listened to his words, as if he was the most vicious witch, his face became paler and paler.
Xiao Cen wants to become the master of Liang, but he has a deep affection for Daliang and a deep sense of responsibility, which is completely different from the master of the Northern Qi Dynasty in this respect.The empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty said that he would rather let the country fall into the hands of the people of the Northern Zhou than the hands of King Ander Gao Yanzong. "Replace yourself and control the country.
And Xiao Cen is different, Xiao Cen loves this piece of land deeply, he absolutely can't stand and watch others destroy Daliang's country.
no way……
Xiao Cen's face was pale and his lips were trembling. He seemed to be considering that if Wu Mingche really sent troops to flood Jiangling with water, without the assistance of the Sui people, Jiangling would be destroyed in a short time. At that time... he still has What face to meet the ancestors of Daliang?
Yang Jian didn't rush, and looked at Xiao Cen very calmly, as if he wasn't in a hurry.
Xiao Cen thought for a while, finally loosened his jaw, finally gave up something, and said: "I can help you decipher the cipher text, but... I have three conditions, which need to be agreed by Lord Sui."
Yang Jian raised his chin, signaling Xiao Cen to continue talking.
Xiao Cen said: "First, Sui mainly promises that he will never kill me."
Xiao Cen is a smart person, he doesn't want to be killed immediately after deciphering the cipher text.
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "What about the second one?"
Xiao Cen said again: "Secondly, if I can decipher the cipher text, Lord Liang please accept me into the court and serve in the Sui court."
Yang Jian couldn't help laughing, he understood what Xiao Cen meant.The first point Xiao Cen asked Yang Jian not to kill him, and the second point is the same, he meant to tell Xiao Kui not to kill him.
If Xiao Cen had entered the imperial court of the Great Sui Dynasty, then Xiao Kui would be beyond his reach and would not be able to kill Xiao Cen.In the final analysis, Xiao Cen is a rebel. Although he went to prison before rebelling, he did have the intention of rebelling. He is not a gentle person, his gentleness is just a hypocritical mask.
Xiao Cen knew that if he walked out of the prison, he might be killed by Xiao Kui without anyone noticing, so he put forward these two conditions.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "You are indeed a smart person. To be honest, you are very talented, but your conceit is a bit rampant. A little sheep like you that bites at every turn is easily discarded by the shepherd. Coincidentally, I am not a shepherd, but...an animal trainer, specializing in all kinds of disobedience."
"Little..." Xiao Cen stuttered and said, "Little sheep?"
Xiao Cen never thought that someone would describe him like this, even if he wasn't a tiger or a leopard, he would be a wild wolf after all, and he was actually described as a little sheep.
Yang Jian said: "If you can decipher the cipher text, it will be helpful to me. Don't worry, one yard counts for one yard. Although I bully you, I will not treat you badly."
Cold sweat suddenly began to form on Xiao Cen's back, dripping down.
Yang Jian said again: "What about the third clause? There is one last condition, let's open it together."
Xiao Cen actually glanced at Yang Guang, the little bun standing beside him, "with a fierce look on his face", and said very vindictively: "I want to eat glutinous rice and red dates."
Yang Jian really didn't expect that Xiao Cen's last condition was not to be promoted to a high position, not to be rich and powerful, but to eat red dates and glutinous rice to be too soft-hearted?
Xiao Cen did not forget that when Yang Jian invited him to a meal, Yang Guang ate all the red dates and glutinous rice in Yi Chengpan, and it seemed that he did it on purpose. It can also be remembered for ten years, and now he plans to take revenge on Yang Guang.
With a dark face, Yang Guang put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a pompous manner: "No."
Yang Jian smiled and said, "If my son says no, then no."
Xiao Cen: "..."
Xiao Cen put forward three conditions in total, Yang Jian agreed to the first two, but the last one was stillborn and died without any medical condition, but Xiao Cen accepted it as soon as he saw it was good, and he was not persistent.
Even if Yang Jiandang ordered the prison guards to open the cell door and let Xiao Cen out, Xiao Cen walked out of the prison with a lot of emotion in his heart, he really never thought that one day he would come out of the prison.
"Old eight!"
Xiao Cen was in a daze when he heard someone call him, before he turned his head, "Boom!" He was embraced by someone, and he took a closer look, that simple and honest voice, silly laughter, it really was Old Wu Anping king.
Xiao Yan hugged him, smacked his back, and said with a smile: "Old Ba! You're finally out! That's great!"
Xiao Cen was very disgusted, turned his head, and saw Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, standing not far away. Xiao Kui's eyes were as calm as water, staring at Xiao Cen. For a moment, Xiao Cen dared not look at him.
I don't know how long ago, the brothers went farther and farther, and the relationship became more and more estranged. They no longer talked heart-to-heart, and even talked less and less often on weekdays. Some of them were just intrigues and conspiracies...
Yang Jian said: "It's not too late, let's start deciphering the ciphertext immediately."
Xiao Cen took the document and read it roughly, narrowed his eyes, frowned as if he was meditating, and said: "I will need some time to decipher this document."
Yang Jian said concisely, "How long will it take?"
Xiao Cen thought for a while, and said: "Before sunset, I will definitely deliver the documents."
Xiao Cen went to decipher the cipher text, and the others performed their own duties and went to work.
Yang Jian took Yang Guang back to the dormitory. Yang Guang hugged his small arms and said in a cold voice with a look of anger, "This Xiao Cen is too rampant. If he follows his son's temperament, he will directly chop off his head." , I still want to eat red dates and glutinous rice, hum..."
Yang Guang was very angry. Yang Jian should have comforted his son and told him not to be angry. The anger hurts his liver and is not good for his health, but...
Yang Jian suddenly felt that his son's angry appearance was too cute. He had a short body and hugged his small arms. He looked "pretending to be old-fashioned". Dudu, the cuter it looks.
Yang Guang was angry and didn't hear his father's voice for a long time. Looking sideways, Yang Jian was staring at him with a smile, with "bad intentions" on his face.
Yang Guang asked suspiciously, "Father?"
Yang Jian smiled, pinched his son's little face, bouncing and slippery, and said, "Son, don't pay attention to father and father, and continue to be angry. The son's angry appearance is very cute."
Yang Guang: "..." Sure enough, it's not my real father.
As the hour approached sunset and dusk, there was still no movement on Xiao Cen's side, but Xiao Kui, Lord of Liang, and Xiao Yan, King of Anping, rushed over in a hurry, wanting to have an audience with the Son of Heaven.
Yang Jian led Yang Guang out and said, "What's the matter, Master Liang is in such a hurry?"
Liang Zhu Xiao Kui narrowed his eyes and said: "Son of Heaven, I have found a group of Chen troops around the other palace."
Xiao Yan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Exactly, today I sent troops to patrol as usual, but found movement around the other palace. It was a group of strong men disguised as refugees..."
Xiao Yan felt a little strange. There were a bunch of refugees near the other palace. The main Sui people went to the other palace to recuperate. Why did the officials in Chang'an have to do a good job on the surface? How could there be so many refugees?
Xiao Yan kept an eye on it at the time, and asked someone to investigate, and later found that these refugees were really not simple, they were not refugees at all, but Chen people in disguise.
Xiao Yan said: "The Chen people sneaked into the vicinity of Chang'an, and they didn't know what their intentions were. I was afraid of bewildering the snake, so I didn't dare to act rashly, so I came back immediately to report to the emperor."
Yang Jian frowned and said, "How about the number of refugees?"
Xiao Yan replied: "About 50 people."
Yang Guang couldn't help but said, "Only 50 people?"
Fifty people don't need to be dispatched. Although fifty refugees are actually quite a lot, in the eyes of military strategists, the number is too small. Fifty people are ten times or twenty times more, which is completely crushing the trend. How could the Chen people only send fifty people over?This is simply moths to the flame...
"Tap-tap-"
The rushing sound came suddenly, and it was too late to pass it on. Someone rushed into the hall with big strides, in a hurry, and the hair on the sideburns was torn by the strong wind.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Hejian Wang Xiaocen who came!
Xiao Cen rushed in, out of breath, holding the cipher text in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Son of Heaven! The big thing is not good! The Chen people want to pour water into the other palace!"
Everyone immediately sank down. Xiao Cen handed over the cipher text and the translated documents to Yang Jian. Yang Jian quickly browsed, then frowned, and said, "50 people..."
It was written in the cipher text that the Chen people sent fifty people over to ambush early, secretly digging ditches, and wanted to divert water to irrigate the other palaces. What Wu Chao needed to do was to delay their progress and prevent Yang Jian from waiting. People left the other palace, so when the flood came, no matter whether it was Sui Lord Yang Jian or Liang Lord Xiao Kui, they would all be drowned in the flood, and the Chen people could take the opportunity to invade massively.
Xiao Yan said: "Fifty people! The number matches. It turns out that the Chen Jun I saw were soldiers and horses digging canals to divert water!"
Xiao Kui, the leader of the Liang Dynasty, had an ugly face and said, "It can be said in the cipher text, when will the Chen people make a move?"
Yang Jian handed the letter to Xiao Kui for him to read, Xiao Kui's face became even more ugly, and he said, "Tonight..."
Xiao Yan said in shock: "What!? There is no time, what should I do?"
Yang Jian immediately called a group of ministers to discuss it, and all the people rushed to the main hall to discuss it.
Wei Yi said: "What are you waiting for?! The humble general will send troops to protect the emperor and prince to leave and return to Chang'an!"
Xiao Kui shook his head but said: "It's too late, we will start tonight, it's already dusk, the time waits for no one, the surroundings of the other palace are low-lying, even if we speed up the horse, we may not be able to leave the range of the canal."
Wei Yi said anxiously: "Then what to do! Alas!"
Anping Wang Xiaoyan looked at the topographic map of the other palace and said: "Son, the Wentang back mountain of this other palace is quite high. Now the time is waiting for no one. I am afraid it is too late to leave the water diversion area. The foreign ministers think that the emperor and the Brother Huang accidentally went up to the mountain to avoid the water. It is winter now, and the water flow is not abundant. Once the flood is over, it will not be hoarded, and it will fade away soon. When the time comes, they will be killed from the mountain. The Chen army is only 50 people and lost. With the cover of the flood, there is nothing to fear.”
Wei Yi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, this is a good idea!"
The previous warm soup was at the back mountain, but it was not at the top of the back mountain. The back mountain is quite high. If you go to the top of the mountain, you can indeed avoid water.
The others couldn't think of any other way, and they all felt that Xiao Yan's method was the most reliable.
Liang Zhu Xiao Kui said: "Emperor, it is not too late, please leave immediately!"
Anping Wang Xiaoyan squinted his eyes and said: "Just to be on the safe side, the foreign ministers ask for orders, and quickly go around Chen Jun's back and outflank Chen Jun."
Hejian Wang Xiaocen said: "It's too dangerous. The flood will come at any time, but you have to go against the flood. What should you do if the flood comes and you haven't circled behind Chen Jun? ! "
But Xiao Yan said: "Old Ba, have you forgotten? Fifth brother, I am the best at water warfare. As long as you give me a few small boats, even if the flood comes, I will not be afraid."
Xiao Cen still wanted to refute, this is indeed too risky, knowing that time is not enough, Xiao Yan wants to do such a risky thing.
Yang Jian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will lend you a boat."
"Thank you, Son of Heaven!" Xiao Yan cupped his fists.
Yang Jian said to Wei Yi again: "Wei Yi, you arrange for the imperial army to withdraw from the other palace immediately, and follow me to the mountains to avoid the water."
"Yes!" Wei Yi cupped his fists.
After discussing, everyone dispersed quickly, time was running out, the other palace was in a panic, everyone hurriedly packed up their luggage, and traveled lightly, Wei Yi escorted them with the guards, and the brigade quickly rushed to the back mountain.
The back mountains of other palaces are generally used for viewing. The strange rocks in the mountains are quite artistic. They have never been used for marching and fighting. Now that they are on the mountain, everyone realizes that the mountain road is very rugged. For a while, it was impossible to get through at all, at most double rows, and the battle line was stretched very, very long in an instant.
The mountain is dark, and the sky is already dark, and the back mountain is even darker without sunlight. The dead trees and strange rocks cover the sky, and the shadows cast down, like the shadows of wild animals.
Everyone walked forward slowly, the sky was completely dark, and the surroundings were even darker, and no one could see their fingers. They didn't know who it was. Several ambushes emerged from the darkness.
Obviously not Sui people, nor Liang people, but Chen people!
"There is an ambush!!"
The team in front shouted, because the road was narrow and clashed with each other, they were in a mess, and there was chaos. The team behind didn't see the ambushes at all, but they heard the movement and panicked.
"what happened?!"
"Why is there an ambush in the back mountain!"
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
The team going up the mountain suddenly turned into a pot of porridge. Yang Jian picked up the little bun Yang Guang to prevent him from being too short and being trampled on. Because the mountain road was difficult, everyone didn't ride horses at all. Now they panicked. Yang Jian and Yang Guang Hiroya was mixed in the crowd and was constantly conflicted by the flow of people.
"Lord Sui is over there!!"
"kill!"
When Yang Jian heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was indeed an ambush. They seemed to have discovered him and were coming towards Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
Holding the little bun in his arms, Yang Jian squinted his eyes, turned around and ran quickly, and plunged into the depths of the mountain forest.
The withered woods are getting denser, and there is the sound of rushing wildly under the feet, and the ambushes behind are chasing after him, shouting: "Hurry up! Don't let him run away!"
"The lord has an order! Kill Sui lord!"
"Life or death!"
The little bun Yang Guang was held in his arms, and in order to avoid falling, he put his arms around Yang Jian's neck. The two ran forward all the way, and they were about to shake off the ambush soldiers behind them, but at this moment, Yang Guang Suddenly shouted in a milky voice: "Father, go ahead!"
rustling-
The sound of footsteps came from the front, and there was another group of ambush soldiers coming from the front, outflanking the ambush soldiers chasing from behind, directly surrounding Yang Jian and Yang Guang in the middle.
Yang Jian hugged his son tightly, hot sweat rolled down his forehead, his breathing was still a little short, and he squinted his eyes, staring at the ambushes who surrounded him.
Those ambush soldiers quickly surrounded, like an iron bucket, staring at the two
So today when I first heard Yang Jian say that he needs to lose weight, I stared in disbelief.
Yang Jian was indeed the type of murderer, he said with a smile: "Don't you want to escort this rascal fat man?"
"Yes!"
The imperial guards stepped forward, pulled Wu Chao up from the ground, and were about to escort him away. Wu Chao struggled and said, "Wait...we haven't finished talking yet!"
Yang Jian said with a smile: "Sure enough, the surname is Wu. What kind of good things can you say out of your rascal's mouth? I have changed my mind. Since you can't say good things, then don't say anything."
"you……"
Wu Chao's voice did not fall to the ground, Yang Jian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Stop his mouth, from now on."
"Hmm!" Wu Chao's mouth was blocked, and he looked exactly the same as He Quan at that time. He could only stare blankly, unable to speak a word.
"Wait." Just as Wu Chao was about to be escorted down, Yang Jian suddenly spoke, and the guard stopped and looked back at Yang Jian.
Wu Chao immediately became complacent, thinking that Yang Jian was only threatening and frightening himself, and they wanted to figure out from their own mouth who was Chen Ren's accomplice, how could they just dismiss themselves like this?
Unexpectedly, Yang Jian said quietly: "He Quan, I see that you still have something to say, do you want to kick him again?"
Lieutenant He Quan stood behind dutifully. Hearing what Yang Jian said, his cold face suddenly lifted, and a pair of eyes that had never had any expression shone brightly. The brilliance was like the cold light on a kitchen knife. Authentic Roasted Duck Willow leaves that can slice Wu Chao into [-] pieces.
Wu Chao stared at Yang Jian in disbelief. He never expected that Yang Jian would stop suddenly, instead of continuing to press him, he let the little eunuch kick him.
Just now when He Quan came in, he had already kicked Wu Chao, now He Quan was familiar with the road, strode over, squinted his eyes, and gave Wu Chao a hard kick in the abdomen with a bang.
The guard next to him hurriedly let go to avoid being accidentally injured. Wu Chao was tied up and couldn't stabilize his center of gravity. He Quan kicked him, and with a sound of "boom--", a bastard came and turned over, leaning back and flipping over. On the ground, there was almost a back roll.
"Uuuuuuu..."
Wu Chao fell to the ground. After kicking him, He Quan didn't finish, and came over again, trying to kick him in the face. Wu Chao quickly dodged, yelling, as if to say: Don't hit him in the face!
The eyelids of the guards next to him twitched, until Yang Jian waved his hand, the guards went up and dragged Wu Chao up and escorted him back to the prison.
Wu Chao got a slap on the face, and was escorted back. He was relieved, and he was a little lucky...
Wu Chao was escorted away, Wei Yi looked at Yang Jian puzzled, and said, "Son of Heaven, shall we stop interrogating Wu Chao? His accomplices have not been interrogated yet, if he stays in another palace, he is really a Cancer!"
Yang Jian said lightly: "Haven't you seen it yet?"
"See it?" Wei Yi scratched the back of his head and said, "See what?"
Yang Guang also saw it, but he was a child at this time, and it was inconvenient to say more in front of so many people, but Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, was a smart and insightful person. When Yang Jian said this, he already understood, and said: "Wu Chao It is telling the truth, and I don’t know who the accomplices are.”
"What?!" Wei Yi and Xiao Yan shouted almost in unison.
Xiao Yan said: "Brother Huang, what...how do you explain this?"
Wei Yi said: "I am confused. Could it be that the person who instigated the assassin was not from Chen? Isn't Wu Chao from Chen? Why doesn't Wu Chao know who his accomplices are? The general thought he was talking about scoundrels What about talking!"
Yang Jian rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that this person hides very deeply and very well, Wu Chao...is just his pawn."
Wei Yi became more and more confused, scratching the back of his head.
Yang Jian explained: "This person is hiding in the dark. If what I expected is correct, the party must have known that we are arresting the chief envoy, so Wu Chao was deliberately sent to prison."
Wei Yi said: "But, but Wu Chao is Wu Mingche's nephew, the great general's nephew, and he is also a general. He is a respectable person among the Nanmanzi. Who can take advantage of him?"
Yang Jian chuckled and said, "Using it depends on whether you want it or not. Now that Da Sui and Daliang have been turned upside down, do you think Wu Chao is worth it?"
Thinking about it this way, it really is.But Wu Chao did not hesitate to be arrested in order to complete the task, which sounds crazy.
Yang Guang squinted his eyes and frowned, thinking in his heart, this accomplice has been hiding in the dark, even Wu Chao doesn't know who he is, so how did they communicate?
Yang Guang raised his little hand and grabbed Yang Jian's robe, Yang Jian immediately lowered his head and said, "What's wrong, son?"
Yang Guang propped up his little feet, covered his voice with his small hands, and whispered something in Yang Jian's ear, Yang Jian nodded immediately and said, "Wei Yi."
"The humble general is here." Wei Yi clapped his hands in response.
Yang Jian said: "If the accomplices hiding in the dark want to communicate with Wu Chao, they will definitely leave clues. You should go and check Wu Chao's house now to see if there are any clues."
Wei Yi responded, strode away from the main hall, and quickly went to Wu Chao's house.
Wei Yi went for a while and then came back, because Wu Chao's house was not big, there was nothing inside, except for two rough clothes, he had nothing on him.
Wei Yi said: "Reporting to the Son of Heaven, Wu Chao didn't hide anything, maybe... he burned the letters he wrote?"
Yang Jian shook his head and said, "It's too loud to burn."
Yang Jian sent He Quan to monitor Wu Chao. Burning things is not as simple as in TV dramas. Even burning a piece of paper, there is smoke and smell. Such a big movement, He Quan's mind is so delicate, how could it be possible? Undetected and therefore never burned.
Zhongguan He Quan said: "Son of Heaven, please ask the minister to go and check again."
The house is shared by He Quan and Wu Chao, so He Quan should know better. Yang Jian nodded and said, "I will go with you."
Everyone came to the house where He Quan was staying. The house was not big and the decoration was very simple. He Quan went in and began to rummage through the boxes, but Wu Chao's luggage was very simple, except for two pieces of tattered clothes that had already been found. , nothing.
Everyone searched inside and out, but they still couldn't find anything.
At this moment, He Quan suddenly said: "This is not something that belongs to the minister."
He Quan didn't find any clues about Wu Chao's belongings, but he found something strange about his own.He Quan likes to read to pass the time in his spare time, so he brought some scrolls in his luggage, but the scroll in his hand was not his own, so he shook it a little.
"Crash-"
A few sheets of paper fluttered down from inside.
Yang Guang, the little bun, was standing next to him, reaching out to pick up the paper on the ground, he couldn't help but frowned, because he couldn't understand the words on it at all.
Clearly, Yang Guang knew all these words, but when they were combined together, the donkey's lips were not right with the horse's mouth, and he didn't know what they were talking about, as if they were written in heaven.
Anping Wang Xiaoyan was tall and tall, and happened to see the letter in Yang Guang's hand, and said in surprise, "Could it be...a cipher text?"
Xiao Yan explained: "This kind of cipher text is often used in communications in the military. For fear of being attacked by the enemy and stealing the secrets of the documents, they always use this kind of cipher text to communicate, and only their own people can understand it."
There are always a lot of secrets in marching and fighting, especially when sending troops to communicate, they are likely to be attacked by the enemy, so they will write some encrypted documents, even if the letters fall into the hands of the enemy, they will never read Understand.
And even if you are one of your own people, you have to hold the corresponding key to read it. In this way, you are not afraid of the spy placed in the army, and you can kill two birds with one stone.
Xiao Yan said again: "The foreign minister has fought against Chen Jun several times, and has also intercepted the cipher text. From this point of view, it is true that Chen's cipher text is definitely not wrong."
Yang Jian said: "That's the case, can King Anping understand this letter?"
"This..." Xiao Yan smiled honestly, and said: "This...the lowly generals are ignorant, so they really don't understand. There are also many kinds of ciphertexts written by Chen people. They are always very cautious, and the ciphertexts are tricky And a lot."
The "cipher disk" corresponding to the ciphertext is not fixed. For the sake of security, different armies are accustomed to using different cipher disks, and some armies have multiple cipher disks for insurance purposes.
Xiao Yan is not from Chen, and he doesn't know which cipher disk Chen chose, so he can't decipher it at all.
Wei Yi said anxiously: "What should I do! That's right, I will force Wu Chao to interrogate Wu Chao and ask him to decipher the cipher text for us! If he doesn't decipher, I will punish you!"
When he said this, Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, suddenly laughed. Although Xiao Kui's smile was prettier than Yu Chi Chi Fan's, Wei Yi always thought it was a sneer.
Sure enough, Xiao Kui sneered and said, "General Wei thinks that Wu Chao is being used willingly to attract our attention. Does this kind of person confess if he is tortured?"
Wei Yi: "..." What you said is not without reason and cannot be refuted.
Wu Chao looks foolish, out of shape, with a ruffian appearance, but he is actually a tough one.
For this plan, Wu Chao is obviously a chess piece, and he is also a chess piece that will never speak. Master Xiao Kui, if it is not good for him, Wu Mingche will attack Jiangling aggressively, and when the time comes, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and Daliang will be in danger.
Everyone pondered for a while, and Anping Wang Xiaoyan suddenly said: "Actually... maybe someone can decipher the ciphertext."
As he spoke, his eyes hesitated, and he even glanced at Liang Zhu Xiao Kui twice.
Looking at his meaning, Wei Yi thought that Xiao Kui could interpret the cipher text, but it didn't seem like it. Wei Yi was confused and wisely didn't say it.
Xiao Kui's face was dark and he didn't speak, as if he had acquiesced, Xiao Yan said: "My eighth younger brother, King Hejian, is good at this."
Yang Jian suddenly realized, no wonder Xiao Kui's face was so embarrassing, it was King Hejian who was good at deciphering cipher texts, and at this time Hejian King Xiao Cen was in prison and was about to break through the prison.
Xiao Yan said: "Old Ba...in the army, he has deciphered several ciphertexts in the past, and he is quite experienced. Chen Ren's ciphertexts change a lot. If there is anyone who can decipher ciphertexts, it must be Laoba. "
Yang Jian smiled, did not expect Hejian Wang Xiaocen to still be engaged in "espionage work"?
Deciphering the cipher text requires a "code disk", which is mostly some inconspicuous documents, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, or Buddhist scriptures, etc., and the words on the cipher text are compared one by one according to the rules, and the correct document can be obtained.
Hejian Wang Xiaocen once studied Chen Ren's cipher texts and is familiar with Chen's rules. Moreover, Xiao Cen has a brilliant literary talent and has the ability to remember with a photographic memory. However, all the books he has read are all printed in his heart. Text is also beneficial.
Xiao Kui, the owner of the Liang Dynasty, hesitated, but still cupped his hands and said, "The king of Hejian is going to prison. Whether or not he will be appointed as king is up to the emperor."
Hejian Wang Xiaocen was deliberately framed by Yang Jian because of treason and threatened Yang Guang, and he was thrown into prison. He is still in prison now. Whether he should use Hejian Wang is a question...
In the dark prison.
Wu Chao was imprisoned, and happened to be a "neighbor" with Hejian Wang Xiaocen.In fact, the distance between the two cells was quite far, but Wu Chao had a loud voice, pulled his neck and said with a smile, "Hejian King, I heard that you were imprisoned here because you took the blame for me?"
Hejian Wang Xiaocen heard that Wu Chao was the one who ordered the assassin, and he was completely wronged, but in fact Xiaocen was imprisoned not because of the assassin, the assassin was just an excuse. The problem is that he blackmailed the little prince Yang Guang, and wanted to overthrow Xiao Kui and take the throne himself.
Hejian Wang Xiaocen said coldly: "An old dog! What does it have to do with you!?"
"Hey, listen..." Wu Chao said, "Is this out of embarrassment? Tsk tsk, I'm really worthless for you."
Wu Chao sat on the ground, looking very leisurely, and said with a smile: "Look, is this filthy place for a king like you to live in? You are the king of the Liang people, and now you have ended up in this field. Locked in the same prison as me, Chen Gou, and eating the same prison food, I, Chen Gou, can't stand it anymore, and feel sorry for you!"
The chains on Hejian Wang Xiaocen's body rattled, his whole body trembled with anger, and he didn't want to talk to him more.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chao couldn't stop talking, and kept saying: "You are the son of the former Liang master after the clan of Daliang. I think you are a hundred times better than that shit Xiao Kui. Why can't you be Liang's son?" Lord? This is too unfair, isn't it?"
Whoa- whoa-
The chains on Xiao Cen's body were still vibrating, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.
Wu Chao didn't need him to answer. Hearing the sound of chains, he smiled more confidently and said, "How? I'm very angry. Why don't we cooperate? I'm the nephew of General Chen Wu Mingche. I'll introduce you to our emperor, the emperor." I will definitely send troops to help you, and it will not be difficult to kick Xiao Kui when the time comes, I..."
He hadn't finished his sentence yet, but at this moment, he heard a gentle voice say: "Didn't I tell you to shut up this rogue's mouth? Could it be that this rogue lost weight successfully? From my point of view, he is still so fat." Very much, need to reduce again.”
Wu Chao was originally smiling, laughing foolishly, but when he heard this gentle voice, his smile dried up immediately. Looking around, he saw someone walking in slowly, with a cute little doll beside him.
Isn't it the Sui Lord Yang Jian and his precious son Yang Guang?
Yang Jian walked over leisurely, stood at the door of Wu Chao's cell, looked him up and down, and said, "I'm so fat, I still need to lose some weight."
"Who are you calling fat!" Wu Chao wanted to refute, but the prisoner had already opened the cell door, rushed in quickly, and gagged his mouth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Wu Chao was speechless for a moment, and no one could understand the series of mummings.
Only then was Yang Jian satisfied, nodded and said, "That's good, let him be starved for two days first, he must be so fat that he won't die from starvation."
"Hmm!!" Wu Chao shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to tell Yang Jian that he was not fat.
Wu Chao is tall, strong and powerful, from top to bottom there is no fat at all, all muscles, he followed his uncle in the military field, and he boasted that he had a good body, but he didn't know that he was ridiculed when he reached the boundary of the Sui people. ridicule.
Yang Jian ignored Wu Chao and walked in, towards Hejian Wang Xiaocen's cell.
When King Hejian heard Wu Chao's instigation, the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with oil, and the flame became more and more intense, almost turning into a fire dragon that burned the earth.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yang Jian walked in, and when he heard Yang Jian's voice, it was clearly that gentle voice, but Xiao Cen felt a chill coming from his head, and instantly extinguished the raging fire dragon, or was killed by a snake once. Ten years of being afraid of well ropes, Xiao Cen always felt that Yang Jianlai was not kind.
Xiao Cen calmed down, tried his best to put on a fearless and arrogant posture, and said, "Why, Lord Sui can't hold back, is he going to kill me?"
Yang Jian came over and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to chop off your head."
"Who, who is afraid?!" Xiao Cen immediately poked his neck and said, "My son of Daliang, I have never been afraid of anything!? Winners and losers, kill as you want! Why humiliate people?!"
Yang Jian lowered his head and said to Yang Guang: "Son, you see, this is the standard foreign strong but middle capable."
Yang Guang, the little bun, nodded with a teachable look on his face.
These words were clearly addressed to Yang Guang, but Xiao Cen felt that they were meant for himself, and glared angrily, saying, "What are you going to do?! Didn't you come to kill me?"
Yang Jian said lightly: "If I want to kill you, I can just call the executioner, why do I have to come by myself?"
Xiao Cen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you want?"
Yang Jian raised his lips and smiled, and said boldly: "I need you to decipher a copy of Chen Ren's ciphertext."
As soon as the cipher text was uttered, Wu Chao in the cell in front seemed to have heard it too, and his voice of non-stop protesting stopped, as if he was listening to them.
Xiao Cen smiled comprehensibly, his face was like dead ashes, he revived, showing joy and excitement, and said: "That's right... only I can decipher Chen's ciphertext, no one understands the ciphertext better than me." , you want my help!"
Yang Jianwei didn't deny it, saying: "It's cheap to talk to smart people, that's exactly what happened."
"You're dreaming!!!" Xiao Cen rebuffed straight away, then burst out laughing, as if he was full of pride, and said, "You're dreaming!! You villain who framed me, even if I die, I won't decipher the ciphertext for you of!"
Yang Guang saw that Xiao Cen was ignorant of flattery and uttered wild words, completely disrespectful, and was about to get angry when Yang Jian raised his hand to stop him.
Yang Jian was not angry at all, but said: "It's okay, since you don't decipher the cipher text, it's okay, anyway, I know it's Chen who is doing the trick, so well, I'll just kill Wu Chao, and it's done once and for all. The nephew of Chen Wu Mingche, if you kill him, Wu Mingche will not target me, Tai Sui. After all, Tai Sui is far to the north and has a strong army. If Wu Mingche wants to fight, he will first choose Jiangling, which is the central barrier. Jiangling, razing Jiangling to the ground... Tsk tsk, this is the end of the good Jiangling. I am not from Jiangling, so I don't think it's a pity. But some people will think it's a pity..."
Yang Jian walked over, stared at Xiao Cen's appearance, and said: "For example, you, Liang Ren and Hejian King, would you feel it a pity? The descendants of Daliang's clan ruined your Daliang with your own hands, let alone supporting you. You are not worthy to be the king of a country, even if you are in hell, you will have no face to face the ancestors of Daliang, and you will never have peace."
Xiao Cen listened to his words, as if he was the most vicious witch, his face became paler and paler.
Xiao Cen wants to become the master of Liang, but he has a deep affection for Daliang and a deep sense of responsibility, which is completely different from the master of the Northern Qi Dynasty in this respect.The empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty said that he would rather let the country fall into the hands of the people of the Northern Zhou than the hands of King Ander Gao Yanzong. "Replace yourself and control the country.
And Xiao Cen is different, Xiao Cen loves this piece of land deeply, he absolutely can't stand and watch others destroy Daliang's country.
no way……
Xiao Cen's face was pale and his lips were trembling. He seemed to be considering that if Wu Mingche really sent troops to flood Jiangling with water, without the assistance of the Sui people, Jiangling would be destroyed in a short time. At that time... he still has What face to meet the ancestors of Daliang?
Yang Jian didn't rush, and looked at Xiao Cen very calmly, as if he wasn't in a hurry.
Xiao Cen thought for a while, finally loosened his jaw, finally gave up something, and said: "I can help you decipher the cipher text, but... I have three conditions, which need to be agreed by Lord Sui."
Yang Jian raised his chin, signaling Xiao Cen to continue talking.
Xiao Cen said: "First, Sui mainly promises that he will never kill me."
Xiao Cen is a smart person, he doesn't want to be killed immediately after deciphering the cipher text.
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "What about the second one?"
Xiao Cen said again: "Secondly, if I can decipher the cipher text, Lord Liang please accept me into the court and serve in the Sui court."
Yang Jian couldn't help laughing, he understood what Xiao Cen meant.The first point Xiao Cen asked Yang Jian not to kill him, and the second point is the same, he meant to tell Xiao Kui not to kill him.
If Xiao Cen had entered the imperial court of the Great Sui Dynasty, then Xiao Kui would be beyond his reach and would not be able to kill Xiao Cen.In the final analysis, Xiao Cen is a rebel. Although he went to prison before rebelling, he did have the intention of rebelling. He is not a gentle person, his gentleness is just a hypocritical mask.
Xiao Cen knew that if he walked out of the prison, he might be killed by Xiao Kui without anyone noticing, so he put forward these two conditions.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "You are indeed a smart person. To be honest, you are very talented, but your conceit is a bit rampant. A little sheep like you that bites at every turn is easily discarded by the shepherd. Coincidentally, I am not a shepherd, but...an animal trainer, specializing in all kinds of disobedience."
"Little..." Xiao Cen stuttered and said, "Little sheep?"
Xiao Cen never thought that someone would describe him like this, even if he wasn't a tiger or a leopard, he would be a wild wolf after all, and he was actually described as a little sheep.
Yang Jian said: "If you can decipher the cipher text, it will be helpful to me. Don't worry, one yard counts for one yard. Although I bully you, I will not treat you badly."
Cold sweat suddenly began to form on Xiao Cen's back, dripping down.
Yang Jian said again: "What about the third clause? There is one last condition, let's open it together."
Xiao Cen actually glanced at Yang Guang, the little bun standing beside him, "with a fierce look on his face", and said very vindictively: "I want to eat glutinous rice and red dates."
Yang Jian really didn't expect that Xiao Cen's last condition was not to be promoted to a high position, not to be rich and powerful, but to eat red dates and glutinous rice to be too soft-hearted?
Xiao Cen did not forget that when Yang Jian invited him to a meal, Yang Guang ate all the red dates and glutinous rice in Yi Chengpan, and it seemed that he did it on purpose. It can also be remembered for ten years, and now he plans to take revenge on Yang Guang.
With a dark face, Yang Guang put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a pompous manner: "No."
Yang Jian smiled and said, "If my son says no, then no."
Xiao Cen: "..."
Xiao Cen put forward three conditions in total, Yang Jian agreed to the first two, but the last one was stillborn and died without any medical condition, but Xiao Cen accepted it as soon as he saw it was good, and he was not persistent.
Even if Yang Jiandang ordered the prison guards to open the cell door and let Xiao Cen out, Xiao Cen walked out of the prison with a lot of emotion in his heart, he really never thought that one day he would come out of the prison.
"Old eight!"
Xiao Cen was in a daze when he heard someone call him, before he turned his head, "Boom!" He was embraced by someone, and he took a closer look, that simple and honest voice, silly laughter, it really was Old Wu Anping king.
Xiao Yan hugged him, smacked his back, and said with a smile: "Old Ba! You're finally out! That's great!"
Xiao Cen was very disgusted, turned his head, and saw Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, standing not far away. Xiao Kui's eyes were as calm as water, staring at Xiao Cen. For a moment, Xiao Cen dared not look at him.
I don't know how long ago, the brothers went farther and farther, and the relationship became more and more estranged. They no longer talked heart-to-heart, and even talked less and less often on weekdays. Some of them were just intrigues and conspiracies...
Yang Jian said: "It's not too late, let's start deciphering the ciphertext immediately."
Xiao Cen took the document and read it roughly, narrowed his eyes, frowned as if he was meditating, and said: "I will need some time to decipher this document."
Yang Jian said concisely, "How long will it take?"
Xiao Cen thought for a while, and said: "Before sunset, I will definitely deliver the documents."
Xiao Cen went to decipher the cipher text, and the others performed their own duties and went to work.
Yang Jian took Yang Guang back to the dormitory. Yang Guang hugged his small arms and said in a cold voice with a look of anger, "This Xiao Cen is too rampant. If he follows his son's temperament, he will directly chop off his head." , I still want to eat red dates and glutinous rice, hum..."
Yang Guang was very angry. Yang Jian should have comforted his son and told him not to be angry. The anger hurts his liver and is not good for his health, but...
Yang Jian suddenly felt that his son's angry appearance was too cute. He had a short body and hugged his small arms. He looked "pretending to be old-fashioned". Dudu, the cuter it looks.
Yang Guang was angry and didn't hear his father's voice for a long time. Looking sideways, Yang Jian was staring at him with a smile, with "bad intentions" on his face.
Yang Guang asked suspiciously, "Father?"
Yang Jian smiled, pinched his son's little face, bouncing and slippery, and said, "Son, don't pay attention to father and father, and continue to be angry. The son's angry appearance is very cute."
Yang Guang: "..." Sure enough, it's not my real father.
As the hour approached sunset and dusk, there was still no movement on Xiao Cen's side, but Xiao Kui, Lord of Liang, and Xiao Yan, King of Anping, rushed over in a hurry, wanting to have an audience with the Son of Heaven.
Yang Jian led Yang Guang out and said, "What's the matter, Master Liang is in such a hurry?"
Liang Zhu Xiao Kui narrowed his eyes and said: "Son of Heaven, I have found a group of Chen troops around the other palace."
Xiao Yan stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Exactly, today I sent troops to patrol as usual, but found movement around the other palace. It was a group of strong men disguised as refugees..."
Xiao Yan felt a little strange. There were a bunch of refugees near the other palace. The main Sui people went to the other palace to recuperate. Why did the officials in Chang'an have to do a good job on the surface? How could there be so many refugees?
Xiao Yan kept an eye on it at the time, and asked someone to investigate, and later found that these refugees were really not simple, they were not refugees at all, but Chen people in disguise.
Xiao Yan said: "The Chen people sneaked into the vicinity of Chang'an, and they didn't know what their intentions were. I was afraid of bewildering the snake, so I didn't dare to act rashly, so I came back immediately to report to the emperor."
Yang Jian frowned and said, "How about the number of refugees?"
Xiao Yan replied: "About 50 people."
Yang Guang couldn't help but said, "Only 50 people?"
Fifty people don't need to be dispatched. Although fifty refugees are actually quite a lot, in the eyes of military strategists, the number is too small. Fifty people are ten times or twenty times more, which is completely crushing the trend. How could the Chen people only send fifty people over?This is simply moths to the flame...
"Tap-tap-"
The rushing sound came suddenly, and it was too late to pass it on. Someone rushed into the hall with big strides, in a hurry, and the hair on the sideburns was torn by the strong wind.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Hejian Wang Xiaocen who came!
Xiao Cen rushed in, out of breath, holding the cipher text in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Son of Heaven! The big thing is not good! The Chen people want to pour water into the other palace!"
Everyone immediately sank down. Xiao Cen handed over the cipher text and the translated documents to Yang Jian. Yang Jian quickly browsed, then frowned, and said, "50 people..."
It was written in the cipher text that the Chen people sent fifty people over to ambush early, secretly digging ditches, and wanted to divert water to irrigate the other palaces. What Wu Chao needed to do was to delay their progress and prevent Yang Jian from waiting. People left the other palace, so when the flood came, no matter whether it was Sui Lord Yang Jian or Liang Lord Xiao Kui, they would all be drowned in the flood, and the Chen people could take the opportunity to invade massively.
Xiao Yan said: "Fifty people! The number matches. It turns out that the Chen Jun I saw were soldiers and horses digging canals to divert water!"
Xiao Kui, the leader of the Liang Dynasty, had an ugly face and said, "It can be said in the cipher text, when will the Chen people make a move?"
Yang Jian handed the letter to Xiao Kui for him to read, Xiao Kui's face became even more ugly, and he said, "Tonight..."
Xiao Yan said in shock: "What!? There is no time, what should I do?"
Yang Jian immediately called a group of ministers to discuss it, and all the people rushed to the main hall to discuss it.
Wei Yi said: "What are you waiting for?! The humble general will send troops to protect the emperor and prince to leave and return to Chang'an!"
Xiao Kui shook his head but said: "It's too late, we will start tonight, it's already dusk, the time waits for no one, the surroundings of the other palace are low-lying, even if we speed up the horse, we may not be able to leave the range of the canal."
Wei Yi said anxiously: "Then what to do! Alas!"
Anping Wang Xiaoyan looked at the topographic map of the other palace and said: "Son, the Wentang back mountain of this other palace is quite high. Now the time is waiting for no one. I am afraid it is too late to leave the water diversion area. The foreign ministers think that the emperor and the Brother Huang accidentally went up to the mountain to avoid the water. It is winter now, and the water flow is not abundant. Once the flood is over, it will not be hoarded, and it will fade away soon. When the time comes, they will be killed from the mountain. The Chen army is only 50 people and lost. With the cover of the flood, there is nothing to fear.”
Wei Yi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, this is a good idea!"
The previous warm soup was at the back mountain, but it was not at the top of the back mountain. The back mountain is quite high. If you go to the top of the mountain, you can indeed avoid water.
The others couldn't think of any other way, and they all felt that Xiao Yan's method was the most reliable.
Liang Zhu Xiao Kui said: "Emperor, it is not too late, please leave immediately!"
Anping Wang Xiaoyan squinted his eyes and said: "Just to be on the safe side, the foreign ministers ask for orders, and quickly go around Chen Jun's back and outflank Chen Jun."
Hejian Wang Xiaocen said: "It's too dangerous. The flood will come at any time, but you have to go against the flood. What should you do if the flood comes and you haven't circled behind Chen Jun? ! "
But Xiao Yan said: "Old Ba, have you forgotten? Fifth brother, I am the best at water warfare. As long as you give me a few small boats, even if the flood comes, I will not be afraid."
Xiao Cen still wanted to refute, this is indeed too risky, knowing that time is not enough, Xiao Yan wants to do such a risky thing.
Yang Jian pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I will lend you a boat."
"Thank you, Son of Heaven!" Xiao Yan cupped his fists.
Yang Jian said to Wei Yi again: "Wei Yi, you arrange for the imperial army to withdraw from the other palace immediately, and follow me to the mountains to avoid the water."
"Yes!" Wei Yi cupped his fists.
After discussing, everyone dispersed quickly, time was running out, the other palace was in a panic, everyone hurriedly packed up their luggage, and traveled lightly, Wei Yi escorted them with the guards, and the brigade quickly rushed to the back mountain.
The back mountains of other palaces are generally used for viewing. The strange rocks in the mountains are quite artistic. They have never been used for marching and fighting. Now that they are on the mountain, everyone realizes that the mountain road is very rugged. For a while, it was impossible to get through at all, at most double rows, and the battle line was stretched very, very long in an instant.
The mountain is dark, and the sky is already dark, and the back mountain is even darker without sunlight. The dead trees and strange rocks cover the sky, and the shadows cast down, like the shadows of wild animals.
Everyone walked forward slowly, the sky was completely dark, and the surroundings were even darker, and no one could see their fingers. They didn't know who it was. Several ambushes emerged from the darkness.
Obviously not Sui people, nor Liang people, but Chen people!
"There is an ambush!!"
The team in front shouted, because the road was narrow and clashed with each other, they were in a mess, and there was chaos. The team behind didn't see the ambushes at all, but they heard the movement and panicked.
"what happened?!"
"Why is there an ambush in the back mountain!"
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
The team going up the mountain suddenly turned into a pot of porridge. Yang Jian picked up the little bun Yang Guang to prevent him from being too short and being trampled on. Because the mountain road was difficult, everyone didn't ride horses at all. Now they panicked. Yang Jian and Yang Guang Hiroya was mixed in the crowd and was constantly conflicted by the flow of people.
"Lord Sui is over there!!"
"kill!"
When Yang Jian heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was indeed an ambush. They seemed to have discovered him and were coming towards Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
Holding the little bun in his arms, Yang Jian squinted his eyes, turned around and ran quickly, and plunged into the depths of the mountain forest.
The withered woods are getting denser, and there is the sound of rushing wildly under the feet, and the ambushes behind are chasing after him, shouting: "Hurry up! Don't let him run away!"
"The lord has an order! Kill Sui lord!"
"Life or death!"
The little bun Yang Guang was held in his arms, and in order to avoid falling, he put his arms around Yang Jian's neck. The two ran forward all the way, and they were about to shake off the ambush soldiers behind them, but at this moment, Yang Guang Suddenly shouted in a milky voice: "Father, go ahead!"
rustling-
The sound of footsteps came from the front, and there was another group of ambush soldiers coming from the front, outflanking the ambush soldiers chasing from behind, directly surrounding Yang Jian and Yang Guang in the middle.
Yang Jian hugged his son tightly, hot sweat rolled down his forehead, his breathing was still a little short, and he squinted his eyes, staring at the ambushes who surrounded him.
Those ambush soldiers quickly surrounded, like an iron bucket, staring at the two
