Chapter 75: The Betrayer, Li Yan
"I thought Liu Zongmin was your secret son."
Yun Yang broke off half a roasted sweet potato to Yun Zhao, it was beautiful. Started eating.
Yang Xiong also wanted to eat sweet potatoes, but it was a pity that Yun Yang would not give them to him. When it came to picking and roasting sweet potatoes, Yun Yang was the best in the world. He could always find the most suitable sweet potatoes for roasting among the vast amount of sweet potatoes. of sweet potatoes, and formed his own theory about it.
"A person like him is not suitable to be a spy."
Yun Zhao took a bite of hot sweet potato and still answered Yun Yang's words.
"Is he suitable for a white-faced scholar? I think he is very suitable."
Yun Yang looked at Yang Xiong with his eyes.
"A person like him is very thoughtful and has a strong memory. He is not suitable for being a secret agent."
Yang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. He was very worried that the county magistrate would listen to what he said. Yang's words told him to be a spy.
"Other than someone I know, who is the most suitable to be a dark man?"
Yun Yang eats sweet potatoes very cleanly, without peeling them with his hands, he just You can eat the sweetest and most fragrant caramel-flavored crust on the sweet potato skin with your mouth and teeth.
"Xu Wu thought, if his personal conditions were better, he would be very suitable to be a shadow man. You have to know that the most important thing about being a shadow man is to immerse yourself in the character you are playing. , until one day he is awakened by someone or something, and he will immediately execute the instructions without hesitation.
From this point of view, Xu Wuxiang is very suitable.
But. Well, people who have been in the dark will generally not be allowed to take on big responsibilities after they come back, because such people will have some psychological problems, at least, they are no longer suitable for light positions. "
Yang Xiong and Yun Yang nodded together, they were suffering from the psychological problems of those on board, Qian Shao Shao was the one!
"Li Hongji will still send someone to discuss the meeting. Who do you think he will send this time?"
Yun Yang wanted to test his own intelligence again.
"Li Yan!"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because someone told me."
Yun Yang He didn't want to ask who was the person who told Yun Zhao the inside information about Li Hongji. He just wanted to know why it was Li Yan?
"Li Yan is the deputy military adviser in Li Hongji's army. He is a rising star. I heard that a mouth is very important. As long as he comes, don't give him a chance to speak. This time it depends on Yang Xiong. It's yours."
Yang Xiong tastelessly ate a piece of roasted sweet potato that Yun Yang had despised, and asked without raising his head: "Can you humiliate him?"
< p>Yun Zhao chuckled and said: "No need to give Feng Ying face.""Then I will eat a piece of sweet potato later, and when he is coming, I will drink some cold water."
"High!"
Yun Yang raised his thumb to the high point.
For someone like Li Xin, Yun Zhao really couldn’t even meet him onceI can't believe my thoughts. The women in green clothes from the Secret Service have already packed up the thatched hut and even lit the stove. It must be very warm inside. A good night's sleep is better than playing chess and playing chess in the north wind outside. Comfortable, and most importantly, I don't have to smell Yang Xiong's farts anymore.
The purpose of meeting Li Hongji this time was to drag him here for a month. As for meeting Li Hongji, Yun Zhao didn't know what he was going to say. Whether he met or not didn't mean much.
Li Hongji is very important in Yun Zhao’s overall plan. For now, he doesn’t want to break up with this person at all. Once they meet with each other, it will seriously weaken Li Hongji’s strength. For future plans There's no benefit at all.
This man's current strength is at its peak. He has just organized and trained his own army in Xiangyang. He divided his army into six battalions, including the front, rear, left, right, middle and old battalions.
We eliminated a group of old and weak, strengthened the construction of cavalry, and even had a few firearms. However, he had a lot of gunpowder in his hand, and he bought it from Yun Zhao at a high price. Two hundred thousand pounds of gunpowder.
It was because of his strong troops and sufficient gunpowder that he came up with the idea of taking over all of Henan.
This time he no longer sent out all his troops, but began to deploy garrison forces to places in a planned manner, such as Xiangyang. This time he retained the 20,000 elite soldiers of the powerful general Yuan Zongdi.
In the process of constantly fighting against the officers and soldiers, Li Yan was somewhat useful.
For example, the famous "living war" method was dedicated to Li Hongji by Li Yan.
The so-called "living war" means that once the officers and soldiers are about to fight, they will throw away all kinds of materials, even money and food, before the officers and soldiers can rush over. The officers and soldiers see the things on the ground and don't care about chasing the bandits. , busy cleaning up the belongings all over the floor.
After the officers and soldiers packed up their belongings, they would go back to report their merits with satisfaction, saying how many bandits they had killed and how much supplies they had recovered. Because they had the supplies as evidence, they often received awards from the court.
In this way, the bandits will take the initiative on the battlefield consciously or unconsciously. Once the bandits actually launch an attack, the officers and soldiers will abandon their armor to a large extent.
When Yun Zhao first heard about this method of combat, he was so surprised that he could not close his mouth. He ordered the Secret Service to conduct a thorough investigation. As a result, the news reported was even more ridiculous than what Yun Zhao had heard for the first time. .
What the Lantian County Secret Service can detect, Jinyiwei cannot detect? Dongchang can’t find it? Those officials who are at the forefront of the war, don’t the generals know?
Of course they knew, but no one was willing to tell the emperor... People all over the world were deceiving the Ming Emperor Chongzhen!
It was really warm in the hut.
Yun Zhao was lying high with his arms wrapped around the quilt. In the room, two women in green clothes from the Secret Service were kneeling in front of the window, with muskets in front of them, and crossbows with arrows loaded beside them. There are four grenades hanging on them and long knives on their backs. As long as there is any trouble, these women in green will rise up and attack.
These women are not from Yushan Academy, but from the Yun family of thieves. Their fathers and brothers are thieves, so they are born thieves and are highly skilled in martial arts. Many of them no longer have their own surnames. Those selected by Yun Niang, the head of the Yun family, all took the Yun surname after her family name.
When she was in Yushan, she was the youngest daughter-in-law or eldest lady of the family. After leaving Yushan, she became the personal bodyguard of Master Yun.
Outside the window, the wind picked up at some point. Yun Zhao could vaguely hear impassioned conversations in his sleep, and could also vaguely hear the loud fart sounds one after another, especially when people were at their most impassioned. When Yang Xiong's fart sound was like a horn or a drum, it was equally majestic.
Eating sweet potatoes and drinking cold water gave Yang Xiong enough ammunition, and he would probably be able to make this pseudo-literary who betrayed his class half to death.
Yang Xiong is an elegant person.
However, what he hates most in his life are people who betray his class, especially people like Li Yan who join the bandits.
In fact, after careful consideration, the Yang family saw with their own eyes the various measures that Yun Zhao had taken to benefit the people in the pass, and had fundamental trust in knowledge and learned people. He took refuge in Lantian County.
Because they discovered that Yun Zhao was not a bandit at all, but an alien among learned people. He was a person who was preparing to create a new theory, and he was actively supporting the Hengqu lineage theory. people.
On this point, the Yun family’s reputation as a bandit was completely wiped out.
It is very common among scholars that scholars are not afraid of dissidents. In short, it is just a drama where you sing and I appear, and eventually merge into the mainstream and become a part of the surging river.
However, they do not forgive those who join the bandits, not at all, and even think that these people are their life and death enemies.
So, Yang Xiongcai greeted this scholar in a bold and unrestrained way.
Yun Zhao fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, the sky was still gloomy. The female guard opened the curtain covering the window, and soon, snowflakes drifted in.
"Is it snowing?"
A tall guard put a fur coat on Yun Zhao and said, "It's snowing heavily."
" The heavy snow here seems to be impossible to block the mountains and rivers."
The guard chuckled: "The thief is gone."
Yun Zhao stretched and said: "Yang Xiong. Pi Xun left?"
The guard shook his head and said: "The scholar was so embarrassed that he asked Yang Xiong for a decisive battle."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "He probably can't defeat Yang Xiong."
The guard chuckled and said: "Yang Xiong beat him so hard. In the end, the scholar was tied to a horse and sent away by the guards. Yang Xiong also inserted a letter into his chest, explaining why this person did this. The whole body is covered with scars."
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Yes, he did it in a reasonable and orderly manner.Well, it seems that these years of reading have not been in vain. "
The guards smiled even more happily.
Yun Zhao stuck his head out and looked out, frowning and pointing at the group of guards standing in the snow who had turned into snowmen and asked. He said: “Are those people fools? "
The female guard stuck out her tongue and said: "It's General Yunyang's order to show them the power of our Lantian Army. "
Yun Zhao nodded after hearing this and said: "Yun Yang's starting point is good, but there is no need to torment our own people. Even if we want to demonstrate to others, we should let them wear cloaks. Well, if you stand in the snow wearing iron armor, you will freeze.
Liu Erniu is in the team outside, don’t you feel bad? ”
The female guard quickly walked out of the hut shyly. In a short time, she and a group of female guards were seen delivering cloaks to the male guards standing guard outside.
Yun Yang Hearing that Yun Zhao had woken up, he hurried into the house, pulled out a few sweet potatoes from the ashes, patted the ashes, then broke open the sweet potatoes and chewed them.
Yun Zhao felt sour in his stomach. He really doesn’t understand that there are people in this world who can’t get tired of eating sweet potatoes all day long.
“Where’s Yang Xiong? "
"How about taking a shower and changing clothes? ”
“Taking a shower on a snowy day? ”
“It can’t be done without washing, it’s a bit hard.” "
"Ugh..." Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang eating sweet potatoes and couldn't help but retched.
Yun Yang looked at Yun Zhao strangely and continued: "This The snow fell very timely. Even if Li Hongji's army wanted to leave, they had to wait until the heavy snow stopped. However, the bad thing was that Sun Chuanting's army could not leave either.
God is very fair. The Yellow River will not open until March. We still have to keep Li Hongji here for a month. "
Yun Zhao stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, looked at the gradually whitening green mountains and said: "Even God hopes that this world will be quiet for a few days, without so much killing! ”
