Chapter 263: Provoking Conspiracy and Turning Blade 8
【Chang'an】
"Report,,,"
Wu Yong was sitting in the main hall of Shenji Department, turning on the light and reading at night. At this time, he heard a warning coming from a distance, followed by a series of rapid footsteps, coming from far and near, Wu Yong knew in his heart This must be an urgent military plane. Before the man could step into the courtyard, he stood up.
At this moment, a courier with the word "驿" tattooed on his back ran in quickly, and when he saw Wu Yong, he immediately presented a letter to him.
Wu Yong took the document, turned away the letter and the messenger, and walked quickly back to the table. Wu Yong turned on the light a little brighter, and when he saw that the letter had a bright red word "urgent" stamped on it with wax, Wu Yong became more Fa felt that the letter was urgent. He immediately opened the cover and shook out the letter inside. This letter was sent from Shaanzhou. The letter was filled with messy words put together. This was an encrypted letter from the Green Forest Army. If someone else gets this letter, no matter whether it is read forward or backward, as long as there is no method of decryption agreed upon by the Green Forest Army, it will be a piece of waste paper and useless.
Wu Yong held the letter under the light, picked up his pen, and deleted all radical characters related to mountains. From the remaining words, he deleted the first nine characters and separated them from the tenth character. One, two, two... pick out the cipher text in this order, and read it again, which is the original meaning of the text.
The true meaning of this letter is nothing else, but the military information of Tanma ahead. The meaning is nothing more than: According to the report from Tanma, a force of 30,000 troops has arrived in Yongning, Hebei with great fanfare, headed by a A man named Gao Lian has accurate information that on the next day, Gao Lian will launch an attack on Shaanzhou first. Shaanzhou has only five thousand soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to withstand the enemy's front, so he requested support.
After Wu Yong read this urgent letter, he knew that the man stationed there was a knight-errant who had been promoted from the civilian assessment. Although he had some extraordinary abilities, he could not stand alone for a while, so he immediately sent someone to invite Wu Song. , Wu Song was sent overnight to take his Songzi Battalion with a total of 44,000 troops to support Shaanzhou.
Wu Song mobilized his troops that night, and Wu Yong handed over all matters of the Divine Machinery Department to Zhu Wu. At three o'clock that night, he rushed to Shaanzhou with the army in full swing.
[Outside Yuncheng County, garrison camp, Songjiang tent]
"We have searched inside and outside the camp, but there is still no trace of Wang Ying. I brought Wang Ying's soldiers as my eldest brother ordered," Hua Rong said and stepped aside. The two sergeants behind him immediately knelt down. On the ground, seeing so many leaders gathered in the camp, I really thought that Wang Ying had left the camp privately and caused a big incident. They bowed to Song Jiang, and the two of them lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise them.
Song Jiang looked at the two boys and asked: "Your master Wang Ying is not in the camp, where has he gone?"
Although the two boys had been prepared before, they were frightened by the scolding. They looked at each other, wanting each other to speak. Their sly looks fell into Song Jiang's eyes. Wherever he could bear it, he shouted in a low voice: "Say,"
A slightly bolder one immediately spoke up and said: "Our master couldn't sleep, so he went out for a horse ride. He will definitely be back in an hour or two."
"Walk the horse," Song Jiang leaned slightly in front of the two sergeants and cursed: "Fart,"
Hua Rongdang stood up next and said: "If your master is going to walk his horse, then why did you two come from the south gate of Yuncheng County? Could it be that you left the camp without authorization and violated the curfew, and you will be killed under military law?"
When the two sergeants heard this, they were so frightened that they bowed to Hua Rong three times and begged for mercy.
Seeing that Hua Rong had caught the weakness of the two sergeants in one fell swoop, Song Jiang thought it would not be difficult to interrogate them further, so he shouted with a sullen face: "Tell me, where did you go? I missed something important, and I will blame you two for it."
"Brother, please forgive me. The younger one said, the younger one said, my master asked the younger ones to go to Deqing Tower for a drink tonight. After that, he asked me to find out where Hu Sanniang was in the city, and then he went there. Originally, we and I were waiting in the alley opposite. Who would have thought that Zhu Biao followed right behind him, and then Zhu Biao took Hu Sanniang away. But my master was not seen coming out. I could only hear a shovel of frozen soil in the backyard. The sound made the two of us scared, so we ran away."
When Song Jiang heard this, he stood up angrily and shouted: "You two treacherous villains. You don't know the safety of your master. You two fled back alone. What's the use of leaving you two alone? Come on, take them out and kill them."
"Brother, you can't help it. These two people are still useful for the time being," Huang Xin jumped out and said at this time.
When Song Jiang wanted to kill these two people, he originally wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey. The monkey naturally refers to Huang Xin. In Yuncheng County last night, Huang Xin also fled for his life without him. Now he can't kill Huang Xin, but he can Killing these two people would make Huang Xin look bad, but he didn't expect Huang Xin to stand up and speak. Song Jiang glanced at Huang Xin angrily and said, "Why can't they be killed?"
"Shi Jin's men detained our people. We have to go to them to ask for them. What if they deny it? Only by keeping these two people can we testify." Huang Xin knew that he did not succeed in the assassination, but almost messed up the matter. This made Song Jiang and others very angry. However, although Shi Jin became suspicious, they were not found out after all. The tendency of an immediate conflagration was temporarily alleviated, and Song Jiang and others were able to take a breather. In one breath, the time to take action was postponed to the morning when reinforcements arrived, so the person who did not attend the meeting in time was investigated. The first person to be investigated was naturally Hua Rong, who had ruined the good thing. Originally, Song Jiang was against Hua Rong. He was extremely optimistic and had high hopes. However, since Hua Rong and Shi Jin broke out of the siege last night, in Song Jiang's view, the relationship between Hua Rong and Shi Jin had become more subtle. Song Jiang didn't pay too much attention to it at first. But now that Hua Rong has ruined a good thing, it is like overturning the jealousy in a woman's heart. The unforgivable resentment is laid in Song Jiang's heart, lingering. Song Jiang sent people to find Hua Rong, but he didn't want to Hua Rong met the sergeant who was looking for Wang Ying on the way, and then caught his entourage who had sneaked back. Only then did Hua Rong feel that his merits and demerits were equal to each other.
Song Jiang was disturbed by these annoying things one after another, and he had no idea at the moment. But when Song Jiang thought that he would take action in a few hours, he suddenly had an idea, why not use this as an excuse to If you want an excuse, you can go straight into Shi's camp. When the time comes, as long as you arrive in front of the big tent, there will be many people and weapons, cold arrows and hidden weapons, and you are not afraid of his death. At that moment, Song Jiang thought of this, and without thinking about it, he said : "I'll give you two a chance to make meritorious deeds. If you succeed, I'll cost you two thousand gold. If you fail, hey, I think you all know that,"
"Thank you big brother for not killing. Thank you big brother for not killing." The two sergeants didn't listen to what Song Jiang was going to say next, so they kowtowed.
