Deliberately planting flowers and not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, originally because of worry, Li Jing sent people to spy on each other, and they joined forces by mistake, but in the end, they accidentally discovered a magistrate who was far more suspicious than Li Jing Surprised, Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi forgot to immediately ask about the origin and identity of the suspicious messenger.
It was Li Jing who reacted the quickest. After quietly winking at Li Yuan, he immediately jumped out, pointed at the suspicious messenger and shouted: "Commander, he is a fake messenger! I know this man, he is Mayi Sanggan Town Bo Li Menglong, the boss of the city, Sanggan Town has long been occupied by the Turks, and not a single soldier in the fort has escaped, this Li Menglong must have been captured by the Turks long ago! It is impossible to become the messenger sent by the Wang Taishou!"
Hearing Li Jing's words, the suspicious courier who was nodding and bowing just now changed his expression greatly, and subconsciously turned around and ran out of the tent. Unfortunately, Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers who had already taken over the tent immediately stopped him and kicked him. He kicked to the ground, then rushed up, grabbed his hands and dragged him up. The suspicious messenger struggled and shouted, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm really sent by Wang Taishou, I want to see Li Ambassador, I want to see Ambassador Li Yuan! Who are you? Why are you taking me? Why are you taking me?"
At this point in the matter, the suspicious messenger is still shouting his name, Li Yuan can't wait to kick the suspicious messenger to death—what the hell do you have against me? In order to remove the suspicion, Li Yuan had no choice but to jump out quickly and shouted: "Shut up! Since you are sent by Wang Taishou, then why are you running? Shut up! Shut up for the old man!"
While drinking, Li Yuan quickly turned to Chen Sangliang, cupped his hands and said, "Commander, this person is very suspicious. Please interrogate him carefully and find out why he came here. Also, Li Juncheng and Wuji nephew are fine." To testify for the general, after this person entered the camp, the general only asked the soldiers to temporarily take him aside to wait, and did not meet him, nor did he say a word."
Suspiciously glanced at Li Yuan, and saw that Changsun Wuji also nodded to show that Li Yuan was not lying, Chen Sangliang made some calculations, then nodded and said, "It's very good that Ambassador Li is so cautious. Come here, take this person to me right now." I will interrogate him personally, bind his hands and feet, and gag his mouth."
Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers led the order, and Chen Yingliang turned to Li Yuan and the others, and said with a smile: "Ambassador Li, Li Juncheng, General Shimin, the Taiyuan Army's camp here has not yet been set up, and it is inconvenient to interrogate here. You can also come with me." You don’t need to bring your own soldiers with you when you go to the camp of the Chinese army. By the way, all the Taiyuan soldiers who had contact with this messenger before also followed me to the Chinese army’s camp to help with the investigation.”
You are not allowed to bring your own soldiers to the big tent of the Chinese army. Li Yuan's face immediately changed when he heard this, but unfortunately Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers couldn't help but immediately protect Li Yuan, Li Er and Li Jing in two groups, and immediately released them. Their weapons respectfully invited Li Yuan to leave this place, but Li Yuan had no choice but to say: "The last general takes orders, but after the last general leaves, here is the camp..."
"Order Li Jiancheng to temporarily take over the duties of Ambassador Li and command the Taiyuan army to continue to set up camp." Chen Yingliang got up and ordered.
In this way, being closely guarded by Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi's personal soldiers, Li Yuan, Li Er, Li Jing and the suspicious messenger were taken to the camp of the Chinese army of the Qiao Peng Sui Army. Stern quickly left the Taiyuan Sui army camp under the protection of his own soldiers. During this period, Chen Yingliang sent his own soldiers to quickly send orders to each battalion, ordering Qiao Peng Sui army, Jiangdu Sui army, Zuo Tunwei and You Wuwei to all enter the state of alert and prepare for war. The leaders of the Sui army and the king of Qi, Yang Wei, were summoned to discuss matters in the tent of the Chinese army, and they also ordered the most reliable Baoguo army to come and respond immediately.
Leading Li Yuan through the Taiyuan Sui army camp full of Taiyuan soldiers, Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi were of course extremely nervous, fearing that something might happen suddenly, just to be cautious, Yin Shishi secretly ordered his own soldiers to be ready for battle at any time . But fortunately, Yu Wei of the Sui court is still there. Although Li Yuan and others looked a bit wrong when they were taken away by Chen Yingliang, none of the Taiyuan Sui Army soldiers dared to come up to stop the interrogation. Immediately rushed to support, and quickly met Chen Yingliang and his party. Only then did Chen Yingliang and others successfully leave the Taiyuan Sui army camp and return to the Chinese army camp controlled by Qiao Peng's descendants.
At the same time, the battalions of the Sui Army also immediately entered the state of preparation for battle. Wang Shichong, Yun Dingxing and others also hurriedly came to the main tent of the Chinese Army to accept orders. When Li Yuan and his son were pale and surrounded by Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers, Wang Shichong, Yang Hao and others were inevitably taken aback, and hurriedly asked Chen Yingliang for the reason. The suspicious courier was closely searched.
After Yin Shishi quickly introduced the general situation to everyone, Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers also found out the results. A sealed letter signed by Ambassador Li was found in the underwear of the suspicious messenger. Chen Yingliang first issued an order to push the suspicious messenger out for interrogation alone, and then opened the letter to take a closer look at the content. Of course, Chen Yingliang was dumbfounded. The letter was written by Shibi Khan himself to Ambassador Li Yuan. The content began with thanking Ambassador Li Yuan. Secretly informed the Turkic army that there was a traitor, then begged Ambassador Li to help investigate the identity of the Turkic traitor, and finally canonized Ambassador Li as the Turkic King of Tang, and promised to reward Ambassador Li with a thousand cattle and sheep, a thousand horses, and gold. Thirty catties of silver each!
At the same time, Chen Yingliang announced the contents of the letter to the public. The generals of the Sui army were all dumbfounded, and Li Yuan and Li Er's father and son were even more stunned. Both rushed forward, punching and kicking Li Yuan and his son, cursing while beating, "Son of a son of a bitch, you son of a bitch! No wonder you targeted Brother Ying Liang so much before, it turns out that you son of a bitch are all Turkic traitors! "
"Wronged! Wronged!" Ambassador Li, who was indeed wronged this time, cried out and screamed: "No! I really didn't report the news to the Turkic, and I didn't contact the Turkic in secret! This is a divorce from the Turkic Trick, this is a Turkic plan to divide, I didn't inform them of the news!"
Hearing Li Yuan's words, the two parties involved, Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi, came to their senses and understood the reason why Shibi Khan was in such a hurry to contact Li Yuan. In Shishi's mind, why did Shibi Khan believe that it was Li Yuan who tipped the news and exposed the existence of traitors in the Turkic army? Why didn't they believe that it was other Turkic generals who tipped off the news, but chose Ambassador Li Yuanli? After calming down, Chen Yingliang hurriedly shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qi, Big Brother Liu, please calm down and stop. Ambassador Li may indeed be wronged in this matter."
"Brother Yingliang, why do you think he was wronged?" Liu Changgong asked suspiciously.
"Ambassador Li may indeed have been wronged this time." Chen Yingliang nodded, and then said, "Because I arranged the person who tipped off the Turks. The purpose was to drive a wedge between the Turks and create more opportunities for us."
After all, Chen Yingliang briefly introduced the process of his alienation scheme against the Turks, and Yin Shishi also stood up to testify to Chen Yingliang, explaining that he was personally responsible for carrying out this matter, and he sent people to arrest several of them. A Turkic prisoner secretly informed the Turks of the situation of a traitor as a mysterious person, and then secretly released them to report back. In the end, I heard the explanations from Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi. The generals of the Sui army suddenly realized that they had the same questions as Chen Yingliang and Yin Shishi, and Wang Shichong first raised the question: "Commander, since you are a mysterious person who informed Turkic people, then Turkic people are Why did Bi Zeitou immediately believe that it was Ambassador Li who tipped off the news?"
"That's right." Yun Dingxing was also very surprised and said, "The Turkic people have always been thieves. Why did they immediately believe that it was Ambassador Li who tipped them off? Why does the Turkic side trust Ambassador Li so much?"
"On this question, I can only ask Ambassador Li himself." Chen Yingliang shrugged, then turned to Li Yuan and asked, "Ambassador Li, please tell everyone why the Turks trust you so much?"
"This..." Ambassador Li, who was lying innocently on the gun, was tongue-tied and wanted to answer truthfully, but he didn't have the guts.
"Say!" Qi Wang Yang Hao yelled angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately kill you for my father!"
"Ambassador Li, this is your last chance!" Chen Yingliang also said viciously: "His Majesty the Emperor was besieged by the Turks in Yanmen City, and his life was hanging by a thread, but you are suspected of having secretly contacted the Turks. Explain, as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's coalition army, even if you are suspected of public revenge, you must be pushed out of the big tent and beheaded immediately! Hang your head on the gate, and use the law of the army!"
"Wronged, wronged." Li Yuan complained even more, and hesitated even more in his heart.
"Marshal, this matter is too complicated. Please, Marshal and His Highness, investigate clearly." Li Jing stood up and said a fair word, and said cautiously: "Excuse me for your boldness to remind me, if Ambassador Li is really a Turkic traitor, then yesterday Our ambush in the evening would not be successful. No matter how generous the Sibi Bandit Chieftain was, he would not be able to spare nearly 20,000 casualties to help Ambassador Li gain your trust. The biggest weakness of the Turkic Kingdom is its small population. Even as a Turkic Khan, he didn't have the guts to joke about such a huge casualty."
"Yes, yes, Commander Mingjian, Your Highness King Qi Mingjian." This time, Li Yuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with a mournful face: "Our army won a big victory in an ambush last night, and the general will participate in the whole battle. Shuai your ambush plan, if the last general is really a Turkic traitor, how could he not secretly inform the Sibi thief chief of such an important plan?"
"Ambassador Li, I didn't say you were a Turkic traitor." Chen Yingliang said coldly, "I am asking you now why the Turkic side trusts you so much? Could you please help investigate the spies in their army?"
Li Yuan was speechless again, and Li Er said cautiously: "Commander, this may be a Turkic plan to divorce, because of the matter of the brother-in-law of the last general, my father and the commander-in-chief have some festivals, and the Turkic side is probably because they know These holidays, that's why I used tricks to drive a wedge between my father and your generals, trying to create discord between our generals and generals, for their sake..."
"Shut up!" Chen Yingliang, who had been displeased with Li Er for a long time, yelled angrily, and scolded: "Young Master Shimin, don't think you are the only smart person in the world! If it wasn't for a coincidence today, I just happened to meet the prefect Yin. This Turkic messenger, this letter has been sent to your father without anyone noticing it! The Turkic alienated me and your father, but he didn’t try to let me see this letter, how to start the alienation?!”
Li Er was speechless, and the generals of the Sui army next to him nodded repeatedly, believing that this could not be a Turkic quarrel. At this time, Wei Zheng, who was in charge of interrogating the Turkic messenger alone, returned to his tent, presented a confession that had been drawn and charged in front of Chen Yingliang, and said respectfully: "Commander, the Turkic messenger confessed that he was previously in Gansang Town, Mayi County. Bo Li Menglong, the captured leader of the Gansang garrison, was left by the Turks as an interpreter because he was proficient in Turkic, and because his whole family was captured by the Turks. Ambassador Li contacted and presented a letter to Ambassador Li."
"A traitorous dog." Chen Yingliang scolded something Wei Zheng couldn't understand, and then asked, "Apart from this letter, did Shibi Thief Chief ask him to bring any message?"
"No." Wei Zheng shook his head, and said again: "Shibi Thief Chief just asked him to send the letter to Ambassador Li. He must not let outsiders know, and he can destroy the letter if necessary. It's just a coincidence that he didn't have time. The evidence of the destruction of the letter has already been captured by our soldiers."
Chen Yingliang nodded, and waved Wei Zheng to pass on the confession to everyone. Then, Chen Yingliang turned to Li Yuan again, and said with a sneer, "Ambassador Li, did you hear that? Shibi Chieftain doesn't love you in general. He would rather destroy the letter than Let the letter fall to outsiders, now it's time to explain, what is the relationship between you and Shibi Bandit Chief?"
"I..., I..." Li Yuan was sweating profusely, and almost wanted to admit the previous incident in public, but he still had some scruples and dared not speak, so he could only say weakly: "Commander, the last general is really not a Turkic traitor, It’s really not a Turkic traitor, if the last general is really a Turkic traitor, how can our army win three consecutive battles and three victories?”
Chen Yingliang gritted his teeth, and after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang simply shouted: "Come here, put the incense table on the table for me, and turn the incense table to Yanmen City!"
The soldiers sang promises and immediately went to set up the incense table, but the generals of the Sui army beside them were greatly puzzled, and they all asked Chen Yingliang why he wanted to set up the incense table? Chen Yingliang said viciously: "My colleagues, His Royal Highness, the grievances and grievances between Ambassador Li and I, you all know very well that today's matter is too important, and it directly concerns the safety of His Majesty. I have no choice but to push Ambassador Li Yuan out of the account and behead him to avoid hidden dangers! Therefore, in order to prove that my action is not public revenge or private revenge, I must first burn incense and pray to Yanmen, and report this matter to His Majesty, and then report the matter to His Majesty. Li Yuan launched an off-camera beheading to show justice!"
The generals of the Sui Army suddenly realized that they nodded one after another, and praised Chen Yingliang for his proper handling and selflessness. Liu Changgong even shouted: "Your brother Yingliang, you are right. For His Majesty the Emperor, for our army of hundreds of thousands of diligent kings, you should Behead this Li Yuan! Report Li Yuan's crimes to His Majesty, and I will testify for you in the future!"
"Dashuai Chen, I will accompany you to report this matter to my father!" Yang Hao also couldn't wait to yell: "In the future, my father will ask you the reason why you beheaded Li Yuan, and I will also testify to you, proving that you did it for my father." Li Yuan was forced to execute Li Yuan for the sake of the success or failure of King Qin's great battle! He has a clear conscience and is selfless! He is even more loyal to my royal father!"
At this time, the incense case had already been brought into the tent of the Chinese army, and it was placed facing the direction of Yanmen City. Seeing that the devastated Chen Sangliang really wanted to kill someone, Li Yuan was completely panicked, and he could only do it again. Neng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then hurriedly knelt down to Chen Yingliang, and said in a tearful voice, "Marshal, the general said, the general will tell the truth, the general will admit that the thief chieftain trusts the general very much, and he once Tried to buy the last general, but the last general did not collude with the Sibi thief chief, and the Sibi thief chief tried to buy the last general to use him, but these were all misunderstandings."
Kowtowing and begging, Li Yuan hurriedly introduced the last Turkic letter, and truthfully explained the two ex-Turkic messengers, Changsun Shunde and Hou Junji, and also truthfully explained the reason for Shibi Khan's misunderstanding—of course, Li Yuan did not He dared to confess that he instructed his grandson Shunde to deliberately leak King Qin's military information to Shibi Khan, but he only lied that his grandson Shunde accidentally slipped his words after drinking and revealed the past festivals between Li Yuan and Chen Yingliang. The reason why Emperor Yang of Sui was appointed as the commander-in-chief was the reason why he also pulled out Hou Junji, the envoy of King Qin of Taiyuan who had been captured before. Bi Zeitou mistook Li Yuan for surrendering to him.
After hearing Li Yuan's truthful report, Chen Yingliang, Yin Shishi and the generals of the Sui army were inevitably speechless again, and they couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world. In addition, there is another question to Li Yuan: "Then what about the first letter that Shibi Zeitou gave you before? Where is it now?"
"Burnt by the last general." Li Yuan tremblingly replied: "The last general was afraid that the letter would be accidentally leaked, which would lead to death, so he didn't dare to read the letter, and burned it in front of the eldest grandson Shunde and Hou Junji. gone."
"Why didn't you report it to me?" Chen Yingliang yelled angrily, "Since you are innocent and you don't want to collude with Turkic traitors, why didn't you report it to me immediately?"
"The last general is guilty, and the last general treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He was afraid that the commander-in-chief would take the opportunity to retaliate, so he burned the letter and did not dare to report it." Li Yuan replied dejectedly.
"Fart!" Chen Yingliang slapped the table and roared angrily, "You are not judging a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, but you are looking for a dead end! You burned that letter privately, now how can I know what you have?" Didn't you read that letter? Also, if you had reported the letter to me at that time, I would have taken the opportunity to use it against you, and I, Qin Wang Dajun, would have already secured the victory, so why wait until now?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yingliang was already stunned, because Chen Sangliang, who was devoid of conscience, suddenly discovered that a godsend opportunity that could be encountered but not sought after had been placed in front of him. Trust Li Yuan, as long as I use Li Yuan to send some processed military information to Shibi Bandit Chieftain, not to mention defeating the Turks, even killing Shibi Khan himself has great hope!
"You should die, Commander, please spare me." Li Yuan was also reminded by Chen Yingliang's unintentional words, and quickly kowtowed and said: "The general is willing to make meritorious service to atone for his sins. The thief chieftain trusts the general very much. The commander-in-chief defeated the Turks and served the country! As long as the commander-in-chief gives this opportunity to the general, the general will go through fire and water, and he will do anything!"
Chen Yingliang was silent, and most of the generals of the Sui Army were silent, only Liu Changgong and Yang Wei were bluffing nearby, "Commander, I can't believe this Li Yuan, he deliberately concealed the fact that Shibi Chieftain contacted him last time, and Burning that letter is clearly out of uneasiness and good intentions, such a traitor cannot be kept, so he can only be slaughtered quickly."
Chen Yingliang still didn't say anything, Chen Yingliang knew that he had two choices now, one choice was to take the opportunity to kill the dangerous father and son Li Yuan and Li Er, the other choice was to use Li Yuan to make great contributions to King Qin and bring peace to the North for decades in the First World War. The advantage of taking the opportunity to kill Li Yuan and his son is that it can eliminate powerful enemies. The disadvantage is that it seriously interferes with the historical process, and it is difficult to kill the main force of the Turks in a single battle. Bi Yuanji, the disadvantage is that it will give Li Yuan and his son a chance to survive, and it will also give these two dangerous enemies a chance to make a comeback. There are pros and cons to both options, and it is indeed difficult for Chen Yingliang to make a decision at the moment.
At this time, a messenger suddenly rushed in from outside the tent and said to Chen Yingliang: "Commander, we only captured Changsun Shunde, but Hou Junji escaped from the Taiyuan Sui Army's camp ahead of time, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Hou Junji ran away?" Chen Yingliang shuddered in his heart, then shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Yuan in a sympathetic tone: "Ambassador Li, I'm sorry, it seems that I can't do it even if I want to give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Hou Junji, who knew the inside story, ran away, and possibly went to the Turkic side to inform, and if you try to use any countermeasures against the Turkic, it is very likely to backfire. So there is no way, I can't give you a chance to make amends."
Hearing this, Li Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, he just collapsed on the ground, thinking about the eighteenth generation of Hou Junji's ancestors—you motherfucker!
"Marshal, the most important witness has disappeared, and no one can prove whether Ambassador Li has secretly colluded with the Turks." Yang Hao said viciously: "This king suggests that for the safety of the father, and for the sake of our army Li Yuan and his son should be executed immediately to avoid future troubles!"
"Yes, kill them all!" Liu Changgong said even more viciously: "Execute all Li Yuan and his son, and Taiyuan King Qin's army will be broken up and reorganized to prevent future troubles!"
Breaking up and reorganizing the Taiyuan Sui Army will of course affect the fighting power of the army, but at this point, Chen Yingliang has to do so. At the same time, in order to avoid the Taiyuan Sui Army riots, Li Yuan and his son must not stay. Chen Yingliang was forced to say : "Come here, light the incense table, and prepare futons for everyone to kneel down."
The soldiers sang promises, Li Yuan became even more limp, trembling like his in-law Chai Shen outside Daxing City, Li Er was also pale, knowing that the end of his life was approaching, but just at this moment, another person rushed in from outside the tent A messenger said to Chen Yingliang: "Report to Commander, Hou Junji has been captured."
"Caught it?" Chen Yingliang was delighted.
"I caught it." The messenger nodded and said, "General Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of Ambassador Li, caught it with his own hands at the edge of the camp, and handed Hou Junji to us in person. Taiyuan King Qin's army will not be chaotic, and he will not disappoint your trust in him. At the same time, General Li Jiancheng also begged me, General Qiao Peng, to serve as his personal army, and handed over his weapons to us."
Glancing at his arch-nemesis Li Yuan, seeing that some blood had returned to his face, Chen Yingliang snorted coldly: "Ambassador Li, congratulations, you have a good son, he saved your life."
