There are many continuous mountains in the southeast of Dazhou, with high mountains and dense forests, and many places are inaccessible. Without the interruption of people, these deep mountains and valleys have become a paradise for beasts and birds. The literati and writers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who wrote travel notes, all said that the tops of the mountains here are the residences of immortals, and the mountains are the cultivation grounds where the beasts and birds have transformed into essences, not a place that mortals can expect.
Wei Lan was standing in front of the military tent. There had just been a heavy rain here. The air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh, but it was also extremely cold.
"One day in the middle of the mountain is ten years in the world," a middle-aged sergeant said to the young people sitting around him. The bonfire was reflected on the faces of these sergeants, and everyone listened with great interest.
"General Wei," the middle-aged sergeant who was talking vigorously saw Wei Lan and hurriedly stood up to salute Wei Lan.
"General Wei," the other sergeants who were sitting saw Wei Lan at this time, and they all hurriedly stood up to salute Wei Lan.
Wei Lan just nodded his head and walked past the group of sergeants.
Until Wei Lan was gone and no one could be seen, none of the rested sergeants dared to speak.
The majority of the army was afraid of Wei Lan.
This result made Luo Ze, the Zhao brothers and those who were familiar with Wei Lan feel incredible. Wei Lan is docile and taciturn, the most harmless person, how can these people in the army be afraid? Luo Ze also specifically asked Wei Lan about this question, asking him what terrifying things he had done in the army. Wei Lan couldn't tell the reason himself. He had never scolded anyone, nor had he hurt a single one of his own. He didn't know why these people were afraid of him.
Wei Lan didn't know it herself, and Luo Ze and the others had no way of knowing it.
People in the military have their own opinions, but there are different opinions. Some say that Wei Lan is too cruel to kill people, and some say that Wei Lan has a gloomy face and is full of murderous aura. Wei Lan.
Wei Lan walked into the central army tent, and the general who led their army of a thousand people was a local general in the southeast, with the surname Wu and the name Yanji.
"Vice Wei is coming?" Wu Yanji saw Wei Lan walking in, so he said something to Wei Lan with a stern face. Everyone in the army called Wei Lan as General Wei, but he wanted to call Wei Lan as Vice General Wei. Just to press Wei Lan.
The other generals in the account only felt that their generals were superfluous. Wei Lan was Luo Ze's cronie, but Wu Yanji was from a local family in the southeast, and he had the names of teachers and students with Qiu Che, the middle-right prime minister of the court, and his identity. This is much higher than Wei Lan, who was born in the bodyguard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is absolutely unnecessary to press Wei Lan in everything.
"General." Wei Lan stood down, clasped his fists in a respectful salute.
Wu Yanji waved at the others in the army tent, and he wanted to speak to Wei Lan alone.
"General," Wei Lan said after the crowd retreated, only he and Wu Tingji were left in the tent, "When are you going to send troops?"
"It's raining and the mountain road is muddy, how can we march?" Wu Yanji asked Wei Lan back.
In the valley more than ten miles ahead of them, there was a barbarian village. Luo Ze's commander had already been dispatched to the army three days ago, and ordered Wu Yanji to quickly destroy this barbarian cottage, but today, their army is still here and has not moved forward.
"General," Wei Lan said, "Luo Shuai has already made it clear that this cottage is a stockade for the barbarians to hoard food, Luo Shuai..."
"Wei Lan!" Wu Yanji didn't let Wei Lan say any more, and said angrily to Wei Lan: "Do I want you to teach me how to fight?!"
Wei Lan said: "General, the last general has no intention of this. The last general also knows that the mountain road is muddy at this time, and it is not easy to march."
"Then you have more to say?"
"The barbarians would also think so. If we marched past overnight, we would surely be able to kill the barbarians in the village by surprise."
"It's easy to say," Wu Yanji snorted coldly, "Wei Lan, you're a bodyguard, don't think that after being with Luo Shuai for a few days, you'll understand the art of war. This general has his own plans. If you don't agree, go and report to Luo Shuai, and this general is waiting for you to report."
"It's Wei Lan being presumptuous," Wei Lan bowed to Wu Tingji and said, "Don't be surprised, General."
"Let's step back," Wu Yan smiled at Wei Lan when he saw Wei Lan like this, and said, "Learn from this general, and this general will not treat you badly, nor will he stop you, and will not let you be rewarded for your meritorious deeds. of."
After Wei Lan saluted, he backed out.
"The villain is successful, what is it!" Wu Tingji scolded in a low voice after Wei Lan withdrew. Luo Ze was ordered to come to the Southeast to quell the rebellion. Wu Yanji and other local generals in the Southeast were dissatisfied. Luo Ze, who has always been a blessing at the feet of the emperor of Shangdu, can know how to fight their battle here in the Southeast? Luo Ze has climbed the mountains in his life, it is estimated that he can count the five fingers. Fighting in the mountains, this person is simply a layman!
Wu Yanji's own doorman walked in. This man had some talent. He was taken by Wu Yanji's side and served as a personal advisor. "General," the guest came in and asked Wu Yanji, "Has General Wei come to urge General to send troops again?"
"It's nothing more than a dog fighting against people's power," Wu Yanji said, "If it wasn't for Luo Yuxuan standing behind him, this general would have taken care of him long ago!"
The guest said in a low voice, "Master Qiu asked the general to delay, but after all, the general can't openly offend the Luo family. This second son of Luo really wants to punish the general's crime. Can Qiu Xiang do his best to protect the general? say two."
Only then did Wu Yanji say, "I've also thought about what you said. In two days, I can't make that Wei Gang happy, can I?"
Wei Lan returned to his sleeping tent, and Wu Yanji dragged on like this, not knowing how long. He went to complain to Luo Ze, Luo Ze could change the general again, but how much time would it take to get rid of it? Wei Lan sat in the tent for a while, and finally decided not to wait any longer.
The doorman and Wu Yanji talked for a while in the tent. Seeing that it was late at night, Wu Yanji also fell asleep, so he was about to leave.
"Then go to rest," Wu Yanji said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to say."
Menke retreated. Outside the tent door stood guards on duty at night. Menke stood down and instructed the six guards, "This place is only more than ten miles away from the Yiren cottage. You must guard carefully at night, and don't be careless."
After listening to Menke's words, the six personal soldiers didn't respond, they just stood up straight.
"What's wrong with you?" The doorman felt that something was wrong. At this time, he also realized that tonight, the lights outside the military tent were much darker than before. The doorman asked several times, but none of the six personal soldiers answered him, so the doorman walked over to one of the personal soldiers. Before he got to the personal soldier, he felt a chill in his throat . The doorman fell to the ground, and at that moment, his throat was cut, and he didn't know who killed him until he died.
"Why are you here again?" Wu Yanji was about to call for his personal soldiers to come in and wait for him to change clothes and sleep when he saw Wei Lan throw up the curtain and walk in.
"General," Wei Lan called Wu Yanji.
"Didn't I say, I will watch the decision when I send troops?" Wu Yanji said angrily, "Don't you understand me? Wei Lan, when you were in the prime minister's mansion, how much favored the masters of the prime minister's mansion? You? I see why you don't know how to measure at all?!"
"The general will stay here for three days," Wei Lan said, walking step by step in front of Wu Yanji, "Wei Lan thinks the general is deliberately delaying."
"Wei Lan!" Wu Yanji said loudly to Wei Lan, "Don't be too presumptuous! I said, if you want to sue, just go..."
Before Wu Yanji's words were finished, Wei Lan had suddenly flashed in front of him. He just sent his hand forward, and a dagger was deeply inserted into Wu Yanji's throat, and the tip of the dagger passed through his throat. Wu Yanji made a few "quack" sounds from his throat.
Wei Lan stretched out his hand and pushed, and Wu Yanji's corpse fell to the ground. "I can't wait," he said to Wu Tingji's body, "so I had to kill you first."
