Chapter 762 Speculators

"Li Minggui! You are two-faced! You will not die a good death——"

When being led down, Wei Tu continued to struggle and scream, but his voice soon disappeared outside the hall.

When everything came to an end, the staff immediately raised their hands and said: "Your Excellency, please report to the king immediately to reveal the details of the arrest and take advantage of the opportunity to claim credit."

"Okay, okay." Li Minggui laughed.

In the afternoon of that day, Yong'an Wuwei Mansion dispatched many officers and soldiers and began to comprehensively arrest Wei Tu and others.

A few days later, Li Minggui's memorial also reached Xiao Yuan.

In the memorial, he talked about how he battled wits and courage with Xizuo, and finally planned a layout to catch them all.

In the study room of the palace, after reading his letter, Xiao Yuan shook his head in a funny way.

Lin Chu, who was standing below, said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Li Minggui did arrest Wei Tu and his group, but he could have done so long ago, but he has been delaying it until now. He has contacted Wei Tu several times before to use Wei Tu's subordinates to

It turns out that he knew that the other party was doing it carefully, but he concealed it until now. It is really not the fault of our Qin officials."

Xiao Yuan said in a calm voice: "I'm afraid this has something to do with the current war situation. If Qin was in danger, Li Minggui would probably cooperate with Wei Tu. But he didn't expect the situation to reverse, so he took the opportunity to claim credit. This is a typical speculator.

"

"If that's the case, then why doesn't the king behead him in public?" Lin Chu said.

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Now is the war period, and Shu will never allow any mistakes. Let's let the matter of Li Minggui go for now. Also, what about the Wu envoy? Has he already entered Ningyang?"

"Yes." Lin Chu returned: "He entered the pass from Ningyang wearing a guard of honor as an envoy? He would pass through Shuzhong, pass Tongguan, and enter the capital of our country."

"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell Wei Qing to stop the Wu envoy at Tongguan? Just give a reason? Don't let him enter Qin."

"Yes, Wei Chen will do it now." Lin Chu took the order and left.

Xiao Yuan unfolded a silk book and began to write. This was a reply to Li Minggui. In the letter, he praised him generously and asked him to assist in the Tongguan war.

Lin Chu is the top person in charge of the Qin Army's military intelligence? Needless to say, the transmission speed of letters? By the time the Wu envoy arrives at Tongguan from Sichuan and Shu, Wei Qing has already received Xiao Yuan's order.

At this time, in Tongguan, a small group of Qin troops blocked the envoy of Wu.

All the soldiers have sabers hanging on their waists? Wear black armor and red tassels? Indifferent attitudes? Are the two sides facing each other? Where is Wu Envoy? There are not many people accompanying him, only about a dozen people? In his right hand, he also holds a guard of honor representing the envoy.

Seeing that his way was blocked, Wu envoy became angry because of embarrassment? He immediately scolded: "You are really rude! Didn't you see what I was holding in my hand? How can there be any reason to be blocked in the diplomatic relations between countries! Are there any rules?"

The soldier captain said lukewarmly: "You don't have to be angry? We are also following orders, and military orders are like mountains."

Hearing this, Wu Shi was furious and said: "In that case, I want to see your general!"

Before the captain could speak, footsteps could be heard behind him, and Wei Qing was striding over.

"General." Seeing him, all the soldiers saluted in unison.

Wei Qing waved his hand, then walked up to Ambassador Wu and looked him up and down.

Knowing that this was General Tongguan, the latter immediately said: "It seems that you are General Wei Qing. I have been ordered by the King of Wu to go to Qin to meet with the King of Qin to discuss major issues between the two countries. Why did the general order his subordinates?"

Soldier, stop me here."

After listening to what he said, Wei Qing smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "If you say that you are the envoy of Wu, is that the envoy of Wu?"

"This, how can this be false!? The guard of honor is here, general, don't mess around!" Wu Shi said confidently.

Wei Qing rolled his eyes and stopped talking about this issue. Instead, he changed the subject and said sternly: "The war in Tongguan is tense today. In order to prevent the leakage of military information and the infiltration of agents, no one is allowed to enter or leave Tongguan!"

"You are using strong words! The two countries are at war and the envoys are going back and forth. How can we stop each other?" envoy Wu said loudly.

As a result, Wei Qing did not give in: "This is a military issue! You should also know the current war situation in Tongguan!"

"This is also a matter of diplomatic relations! It is related to military affairs! If the general is like this, can he afford it?"

"My general's duty is to guard Tongguan. During the war, no one, let alone humans, can fly in or out!"

"You!" Wu Zhi was so angry that he couldn't help but pointed at Wei Qing.

But after Wei Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left. At the same time, he said to the guards in the pass: "No one is allowed to approach Tongguan until the end of the war!"

"No!" the soldiers all accepted the order.

"General Wei! General Wei -" Looking at his back, Wu Shi was still shouting loudly.

If you can't leave Tongguan, you can't enter Qinzhou. If you can't enter Qinzhou, you can't see the King of Qin. How can you talk about war and peace?

But there were troops stationed here, Wei Qing wouldn't open the door, and Wu Envoy had no idea.

Why did Xiao Yuan do this? It was because he knew what envoy Wu was here to do. He would be troublesome if he saw him. Now that the war has reached this level, it took a lot of planning and layout to put the coalition forces into a desperate situation. How could anything go wrong again?

.

As he said before, this war was started by all countries, not by them to fight whenever they want or to stop whenever they want.

At the same time, the Wu army camp was located forty miles outside Tongguan.

Because it was far away from the main battlefield, Huangfu Ye was the last to receive the news. After learning about the situation at Shanyuguan, he immediately summoned the generals and conducted a detailed analysis of the current battle situation.

There is no need to say more about this military debate. Huangfu Ye was obviously caught off guard by the sudden declaration of war against Xuan Guo, and his expression was extremely solemn.

It's not that he has never attacked Tongguan, and he has attacked it several times. But judging from the current situation, there are tens of thousands of Qin troops in the pass, and there are sufficient defense equipment. Even if they fight hard, it will not be solved in ten and a half months.

Fortunately, when he separated from the main force of the coalition forces, he took away a large amount of food and grass, so he can still sustain himself for a while.

It's just that the longer the war drags on, the more dangerous his situation will be, because after losing follow-up supplies, the food and grass will be less after using up some.

What's more, military information has been reported that Sun Qi's troops are making a detour from the side and intending to implement a strategic outflanking on their own side.

If we attack Tongguan again, it is very likely that we will be attacked from the front and rear.

After discussing this issue, Huangfu Ye immediately decided to abandon this place and instead join forces with the main force of the coalition forces.

But at this moment, a soldier hurried in, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high and said, "General, a letter from Marshal Huang."

"Oh?" Huangfu Ye was shocked and quickly reached out his hand: "Hurry up and bring it up."
