After seeing this letter, Zhao Mu was not only deeply shocked, but also suspicious. How could Xiao Wei Mou get together with Ji Jie? Don't they have a deep hatred?
"Is the source of this letter reliable?" Zhao Mu asked seriously.
"Reliable!" Han An asked back: "Does Marquis Julu have any doubts? I have already examined the person who delivered the message. He was very harsh at first, but later he was beaten black and blue by my people and even broke an arm. , then the truth was told!”
Zhao Mu still had some doubts. Isn't this a counterintuitive trick used by Ji Jie?
"Actually, the reason why I have been unwilling to cooperate with you two is because I got the news before coming here that there are spies inside us!" Han An vowed: "So no matter how detailed our plan is, Ji Jie will know it. , in this case, why bother throwing yourself into a trap! So, when I acted uncooperative, I was actually looking for an opportunity to find out the spies!"
When Han An was talking, Zhao Mu kept staring at his face. In his opinion, Han An was just a boy in his twenties. If he lied to someone who was not familiar with the world, his expression would definitely show flaws.
It's a pity that he couldn't see it.
Is the content in this letter true?
"Also, I'm afraid Julu Hou still doesn't know why the double-wheeled formation he deployed last time was so vulnerable, right?" Han An asked.
This sentence touched Zhao Mu's sore point. For this, he was reprimanded by King Zhao and Guo Kai. Many ministers in the country wrote letters demanding that he be removed from the position of general.
"Prince Han, please speak clearly!" Zhao Mu looked like he was asking for advice humbly.
Han An took out a military book, turned to the chapter on the double-wheel formation with pictures and texts, and said with a smile: "Marquis Julu, let's take a look for yourself. I believe that with the Marquis's intelligence, he should be able to find the key very quickly!"
There are two circles drawn on the picture. Judging from the shape and distance of the circles, they are no different from the formation deployed by Zhao Jun last time. But what are the two small black dots in the middle?
Looking at the annotation below, the two small black dots are called dragon eyes. They are a point that needs to be determined before setting up the formation. The soldiers use this as the center point and spread outward to form a perfect circle. After forming the formation, a wooden tree is erected in the place of the long eyes. The soldiers used this as a reference to start running circles.
Although Zhao Mu lacked understanding of the art of war and battle formations, he also saw the reason. Longyan was not determined. Once the soldiers were attacked by the enemy, how could they ensure the order of the battle formations in a panic?
"So that's it!" Zhao Mu said angrily: "No wonder Wei Mou always came over to show his courtesy after the incident! But this doesn't mean anything. He can say that he was negligent. By the way, he lent me food so generously. If you really want to get together with Ji Jie, you don’t have to borrow it!"
Han An sneered and said, "I'll lend you fifty thousand dan and ask you to pay back 60,000. Who wouldn't do this kind of business? If Marquis Julu had promised to repay the principal with interest, I would lend you 100,000 dan. It doesn't take much. Just pay me back 120,000 yuan! As for the two-wheel formation, Xiao Wei Mou has been a general for more than ten years. How could he still make such a childish mistake? Do you believe it if I tell you?"
That makes sense! Zhao Mu's face became increasingly uglier and he said, "However, although we have evidence now, Wei Mou will claim that this letter is Ji Jie's conspiracy and refuse to admit that he has done such a thing. , what can we do?”
Han An said with a mysterious expression: "It's simple. Let's find someone to pretend to be Ji Jie's messenger and send him a message to see how he reacts. In this way, the truth will be revealed. What does Marquis Julu think?"
"This is a very clever plan!" Zhao Mu nodded and said, "If he has evil intentions, we can just get the stolen goods together; otherwise, it will prove that this is Ji Jie's counter-intentional plan!"
Han An walked out of Zhao Mu's tent, stopped and straightened his clothes, with a confident smile on his face.
In order to convince Zhao Mu, he proposed to let Zhao people pretend to be messengers and go to test. As for Ji Jie, he actually sent someone to visit Wei Mou a while ago, promising him huge profits to make him defect.
Wei Mou knew it was a ruse, but did not reveal it to his face. He wanted to use a trick to divert Ji Jie out of Zhaocheng and capture him alive. He told the messenger and asked for an interview with Ji Jie. Only in this way could he prove that Ji Jie was not playing a conspiracy.
Ji Jie tacitly understood this, and immediately sent a messenger over, saying that he was willing to meet with him. To show his sincerity, Wei Mou decided to meet at the meeting place, and agreed to inform the messenger of the chosen location two days later and convey it to Ji Jie.
Wei Mou was planning how to capture Ji Jie alive. At this time, Han Xu, the prince of South Korea, asked to see him.
"Han Xu?" Xiao Wei Mou said to himself, stroking his beard: "This guy is a romantic boy who even sleeps with palace maids. Why do you want to see me?"
"Report to the general, he said he has something important to discuss with us!"
Wei Mou was about to refuse, but then he thought about listening to what this guy had to say. Maybe it was something important.
…
Zhao Mu arranged for a shrewd and capable subordinate to pretend to be a messenger. In order not to reveal his identity prematurely, he did not let him bring a letter, but a oral message.
Just in time, Han Xu left Wei Mou's tent.
The expression on Xiao Wei Mou's face was gloomy. He was glad that he didn't blast Han Xu away directly. Otherwise, how would he have known that King Han was actually colluding with Ji Jie, and they wanted to disintegrate the Sanjin Alliance.
"No, I have to tell Zhao Mu about this!" Xiao Wei Mou just stood up, and his bodyguard trotted in and whispered: "Ji Jie's messenger is here!"
So soon? Didn't we agree to do it tomorrow? It seems that Ji Jie has no doubts about anything, which is great.
"Invite him in!" Xiao Wei Mou sat down again.
The messenger was not the same person every time. Ji Jie did this so as not to attract the attention of others, so when a new face appeared in front of Xiao Wei Mou, he did not feel anything wrong.
Zhao Mu was hiding in an inconspicuous place. When he saw the person pretending to be a messenger being invited into Wei Mou's tent, his heart suddenly went cold!
It's not because it's a pity, but because he and Xiao Wei Mou have been together from the beginning. This is something everyone knows. Now that Xiao Wei Mou and Ji Jie are together, everyone will definitely suspect that Zhao Mu can't escape either. relationship.
When the messenger saw Xiao Wei Mou, he bowed respectfully, and then said with a smile: "General, my Lord sent me here to ask..."
"Your Majesty is really in a hurry!" Xiao Wei Mou interrupted him impatiently and said, "Go back and tell him that we will meet him tomorrow evening in Niujia Village, ten miles south of the city. I will wait for him!"
"Ah?" The messenger was stunned. If he hadn't been interrupted, he originally wanted to say "ask the general if he is willing to cooperate." But he didn't expect that they had already reached an agreement and were going to have an interview!
It's so suspenseful. It's a pity that you interrupted the messenger's thoughts, otherwise I would have revealed the truth! But what should I do now? Will my surprise look on my face arouse his suspicion?
