After being escorted into the camp by soldiers, a black-faced general suddenly walked up to him and asked, "What's going on? Where's the big commotion coming from?"
The guarding officer cupped his hands and said: "General Black Teeth, we have captured an assassin."
Hei Te Changzhi frowned, waved his hand and said, "Take him down for questioning."
The officer responded and was about to drag Fu Jiu away. At this moment, three more men in military uniforms came over. After seeing the man in front clearly, the officer hurriedly raised his hands and said: "General Wu!"
Fu Jiu's heart moved and she screamed.
Wu Chengsi looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Who is he?"
"Return to the general, he is an assassin!" the officer replied.
Fu Jiu screamed even louder.
Wu Chengsi frowned and asked: "Assassin? Are the brothers injured?"
The officer laughed and said: "This assassin is a little out of his mind. He actually threw himself into a trap from the gate. The brothers immediately surrounded him and no one was hurt!"
When Wu Chengsi asked for specific details, the officer told him everything Fu Jiu said and did after arriving at the camp.
Wu Chengsi glanced at Fu Jiu and saw that he was in his thirties. Although he was tied up, his expression was quite calm. He said slowly: "Take the thing out of his mouth and bring it to the commander's tent. General
You have to ask yourself."
Soon, Fu Jiu was brought to the commander's tent.
In the spacious commander's tent, Wu Chengsi sat high and asked the people below: "Who are you? Why do you come to the military camp?"
"The common man Fu Jiu hopes to make a deal with the general." Fu Jiu said solemnly.
"Deal? What kind of deal do you want to do?" Wu Chengsi asked curiously.
"I heard that the case of General Su being framed by the Koreans was solved by General Wu?"
"Yes."
"The imperial prime minister Xu Jingzong also colluded with the Korean people?"
"There is such a thing."
"Does the general know that Xu Jingzong is not the only court official who colluded with the Koreans?" Fu Jiu said word for word.
Wu Chengsi's heart trembled, and he said slowly: "I don't know about this."
Fu Jiu said in a deep voice: "That person has a high position of authority. Our Tang Dynasty is about to go to war with the Koreans. It's probably not a good thing to have such a person hiding in the middle of the court!"
Wu Chengsi thought: "The person Fu Jiu mentioned is probably the same person as Xu Jingzong." Youyou said: "Do you know who that person is?"
"Know."
"Who is it?" Hei Te Changzhi said harshly.
Fu Jiu glanced at him and said coldly: "I told you, this is a deal."
Wu Chengsi stared at him for a moment and said slowly: "Tell me, how do you want to trade?"
Fu Jiu's eyes flashed slightly: "It's very simple. As long as General Wu does two things for me, I will tell you the name of that person!"
"What two things?"
"The first thing is to ask General Wu to go to the Eight Immortals Tower in Youzhou, and then lose five hundred copper coins in the cockfighting ring."
Wu Chengsi was waiting for him to continue speaking. Unexpectedly, he closed his mouth tightly after finishing these words.
"That's all?" Wu Chengsi was stunned.
"that's it!"
Wu Chengsi stared at him closely. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he frowned and said, "What is your purpose?"
Fu Jiu raised his eyes and looked at him: "I heard that General Wu is still a young minister of Dali Temple. What will he do if he sees something that violates laws and disciplines?"
"Of course we will enforce the law impartially."
"That's fine." Fu Jiu lowered his head.
Wu Chengsi was silent. This Fu Jiu was like a mystery. Everything he said and did was strange. However, he also had a strange temperament that made Wu Chengsi feel that he was not lying.
"What's the second thing?"
"When the general has finished the first thing, I will tell you the second thing."
Black Teeth Changzhi said coldly: "General, I will use some special torture methods. If you hand him over to me, will I be able to find out everything in his stomach?"
Fu Jiu glanced at him and said calmly: "You can torture me as much as you want, but as long as I don't die, this deal will still be valid."
Wu Chengsi stared at him for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you." Wu Mei gave him a month to find out the traitor, and since he had clues, he naturally couldn't let it go.
The next day, Fu Jiu accompanied the army. The army first headed east. After walking for a few days, it turned north and crossed the Yellow River.
After marching for more than ten days, the army entered Youzhou.
On this morning, Wu Chengsi, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, bright light armor, and a white cloak, rode at the front of the army. In less than a month, his skin had tanned and his complexion had become more complex.
A bit of a weathered color.
Over the past few days, the most painful thing was counting his buttocks, but on the contrary, his riding skills had improved a lot.
Suddenly, Pei Xingjian rode up from behind and said, "General, we are not far from the border here. I think we should prepare for war."
"Prepare for war?" Wu Chengsi asked curiously.
Pei Xingjian patiently explained: "It means dividing the army into three armies: front, middle and rear. The forward explores the road, the middle army prepares for war, and the food, grass and baggage are left in the rear."
Wu Youji frowned and said: "This is the boundary of Youzhou, is there still an enemy?"
Pei Xingjian said seriously: "Although it is unlikely that the enemy will cross the border, we must make such preparations to leave no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of."
Wu Chengsi nodded slightly: "General Pei reminds us that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and we must not underestimate the Koreans. Here is the order, General Pei will lead 6,000 cavalry as the vanguard, I will lead 6,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry in the center, and Luo
The general leads six thousand infantry behind him."
Everyone accepted the order in unison, and soon the Zuo Wu army was divided into three, each five miles apart.
Not long after advancing, another horse galloped forward, but it was Li Ji's messenger. The sergeant turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands and said: "To appease the envoy, the commander-in-chief sent an order for Zuo Wujun to garrison outside Liucheng in Yingzhou."
Yingzhou is located outside the Great Wall, with the Khitan territory to the north, and Liucheng is to the south of Yingzhou.
It can be seen that Su Dingfang's incident made Li Ji somewhat wary of the Khitans, so he asked Wu Chengsi to stay away from the Khitans.
Black Teeth Changzhi asked: "Is there any military information on the front line?"
The messenger said: "General Xue Rengui's troops have arrived in Pingzhou, and General Qi'ao Heli's troops have arrived in Xiongjin. They have joined General Liu Renyuan who is staying in Xiongjin City. So far, there have only been some small-scale conflicts with Goryeo, and there has been no major war.
"
Wu Chengsi nodded and ordered the army to continue moving forward.
That night, the army camped outside Youzhou City. In the commander's tent, Wu Chengsi summoned the generals and said loudly: "Everyone, I am going to Youzhou to handle an important matter. Generals Wu Lang and Hei Zha Lang will lead the five
A hundred men and horses will go with me, and the rest will go with the army to garrison in Liucheng."
Liu Shenli asked: "General, if you are not in the camp, who will give us orders?"
"The army is temporarily under the command of General Pei."
Pei Xingjian raised his hand in response and asked, "General, how long will it take you to do the work?"
Wu Chengsi thought for a while and said: "It can take as little as a few days, or as long as half a month."
…
After the accounts were dismissed, Russell returned to his tent with two generals. As soon as he sat down, he heard one of the generals say angrily: "Little prince, it seems that General Wu only knows how to reuse the Tang people, and will not reuse us Turks."
!”
Russell poured himself a glass of wine and drank a glass without answering.
Another general said: "Maybe it's because General Pei is a famous general in the court and was transferred here by General Wu, so General Wu trusts him more. I think General Wu is different from General Xiao and will not discriminate against us Turks."
people."
"How do you know not?" said the first general.
"Look, didn't he also bring the black tooth Changzhi with him? Although the black tooth Changzhi is brave in battle, he is from Baekje. This shows that General Wu is not so focused on identity!"
Russell waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter. Anyway, I am used to it. It just so happens that General Wu is not around, so let's take action."
The latter general hesitated and said: "Little prince, do we really want to do this? If exposed, we will be completely ruined!"
Russell said in a deep voice: "Uncle Alon came to Chang'an three months ago to find me. The situation has become very urgent, and I have no choice."
The other two generals sighed, folded their arms in front of their chests, and prayed softly.
