"Fang Jue, there is something wrong with this Lu Xin."
After Lu Xin left, Ye Hongyi keenly noticed something.
Even Dianyi said: "He actually suggested that the young master should disobey the emperor's imperial edict and interrogate He An secretly here first."
"Is it a temptation or an ulterior motive?"
Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi and asked, "Does Lu Xin and He An have any old grudges?"
The Xuanjian Division supervises hundreds of officials, including generals, so the Xuanjian Division also knows a lot of the secrets of the military attachés.
Ye Hongyi has extremely high authority in the Xuanjian Division and can know many things.
"When His Majesty promoted Lu Xin to deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, I read his file." Ye Hongyi nodded.
When selecting any important position, the Xuanjian Division needs to check the details.
If there are serious stains on one's moral character, or if one has committed any crime that has not yet been dealt with, the emperor must be reminded.
Otherwise, just a few days after being promoted by the emperor, he rebelled... Wouldn't that be a slap in the emperor's face?
"Lu Xin was replaced by He An as the deputy general of Liangzhou Camp in his early years... In order to give the Lu family an explanation, the He family found a position for him as a general in the Forbidden Army."
Fang Jue smiled: "The deputy general of Liangzhou Camp is from the fourth rank, and the Forbidden Army's general...is from the fifth rank?"
Blocking someone's future is like killing one's parents. This is a big hatred.
"The emperor doesn't know about this? He actually sent Lu Xin to arrest He An, and you weren't afraid that he would kill He An?" When Dian Yi heard this, he felt that this operation was outrageous.
Ye Hongyi shook his head: "The more Lu Xin has a grudge against He An, the less he dares to let him die."
Otherwise, yellow mud will fall into his crotch, and it will be either feces or feces.
Everyone would suspect that it was Lu Xin who killed He An.
"That's why he panicked. Once He An dies, Lu Xin will definitely be held accountable and will be maliciously attacked... He is the only one who has this motive."
Suddenly, Fang Jue was startled.
"I understand, he is making this idea."
"What's the idea?"
Fang Jue: "Originally, only people from Lu Xin and Xuanjian Division knew that He An was here... Now that we are included, the scope of suspects has expanded."
Ye Hongyi was alert: "Does he want to kill He An?"
She didn't believe it, but Lu Xin dared.
"It's just a precaution. Once He An dies and there are irrelevant people like us, someone will share the suspicion with him... He won't be the only person targeted."
Fang Jue smiled faintly: "The idea is on my head."
His tone gradually became cooler.
"The enemy has such little thoughts right now." Ye Hongyi turned around, picked up the sword and went out.
Dian glanced at him and said, "Master, Miss Ye won't kill Lu Xin, right?"
"Don't worry, she has sense." Fang Jue felt reassured. Ye Hongyi valued the position of Xuanjian Division very much.
If she hadn't met him and didn't care that she was working in the Xuanjian Division, I'm afraid that this girl would rather die alone than give up her official position in the Xuanjian Division.
…
The next day, the Yulin army was assembled, and Lu Xin, Bai Qing and others came to see them off.
"Eh?"
When Lin Bei saw Lu Xin's appearance, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Lu, what's wrong with your face?"
When everyone looked, they realized that Lu Xin's face was swollen, and his whole face seemed to have been beaten except for his eyes.
Lu Xin covered his face timidly, as if he were a young girl, afraid of being seen.
If it weren't for Young Master Fang Jue's presence, Lu Xin would not have come to see Yu Lin's army off, because he really couldn't see anyone.
Fang Jue quietly glanced at Ye Hongyi, who was calmly holding the reins on the horse beside him.
"Ahem...it's okay. I left the window open last night and was stung by a wasp that flew in while I was sleeping."
As Lu Xin spoke, he glanced at Ye Hongyi, but was afraid that she would see him, so he quickly turned away and looked away.
He even rubbed his hands awkwardly.
"Stung by a wasp?" Lin Bei didn't know the inside story and said with a smile, "Then you go find some milk to wipe it well."
"Thank you, old Shangguan, for your concern. Everything will be fine in the end... Hehe."
After being beaten, Lu Xin didn't even dare to complain. Lu Xin knew that he was in the wrong, and his calculations last night were too loud.
It was better to be beaten, but to be plotted by the young master who saw through his mind would be a much better outcome.
"Then we'll set off." Lin Bei ordered, and the Yulin Army set off again.
…
It was not yet time to cross the Beihe River, so Fang felt that his party was lucky. The shallowest area of the river could not even flood the horses' bellies, and the cavalry quickly crossed the river.
In the afternoon, we finally arrived at an abandoned city more than 40 miles away in the northwest of Liangzhou.
Scouts were sent out to fight the front battle, and the army waited in place to collect the troops waiting for the troops to arrive from behind.
Before evening, the scout camp came back and arrested a few people.
"Sir, spare my life..."
A few of them were dressed in rags and looked like refugees. They couldn't disguise their sallow complexion and thin skin caused by hunger.
In order to protect themselves from the cold, the people of Beiliang are generally a little fat. At least they are strong and there will not be such thin soldiers.
"Young Master, these are all refugees. They discovered our whereabouts along the way. In order to cover up our whereabouts, we had to arrest them all," the deputy general explained.
Fang Jue nodded without questioning.
When a large army goes out, especially when a surprise attack occurs, it is often necessary to clear out enemy scouts.
Among them, some insignificant people will also be subject to measures once they discover military operations that need to be kept secret.
Even if he killed a few refugees at this time, he still wouldn't be able to convict the lieutenant of the crime, not to mention that he just arrested them without any difficulty.
"Place them in the abandoned city, send a team of people to guard them, and then release them after we leave."
Although these people are not like Beiliang people, confidentiality measures must be taken.
The lieutenant general breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the young master would be such a rotten scholar. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel benevolent and reprimanded them for their harsh treatment of the people.
"What's the situation at Liangzhou Camp? Is it under siege?" Lin Bei asked the deputy general.
The lieutenant general said: "Back to the young division, general, there is no movement in the Liangzhou camp."
"When He An left, he didn't inform the Beiliang Army?" Fang Jue's eyes lit up, and he soon knew why the Beiliang Army didn't take measures as soon as possible.
Once it is known that He An is gone, Luo Yang will definitely attack Liangzhou before that and threaten He An to be his insider.
But He An was also smart and took his people back to Beijing without informing the Beiliang army.
"He An used Beiliang to earn military merit for himself... He has already obtained it. Naturally, he no longer wants to have anything to do with Beiliang. It is only right to leave this morning." Ye Hongyi understood He An's thoughts.
The more he did, the more he went wrong. He An also knew that what he was doing was a brain-destroying thing, so naturally he did not dare to contact Beiliang under such circumstances.
Moreover, He An didn't really intend to rebel against the country. He just wanted to be promoted. Naturally, he couldn't let the Beiliang Army get too happy.
"Right now, Luo Yang doesn't know that He An is gone...that's why he didn't attack Liangzhou. He thought that He An from the Liangzhou camp didn't dare to take action against him..."
"This is an exploit..."
Fang Jue realized that this was a fighter plane.
Luo Yang would never have thought that the imperial edict for He An's promotion would arrive so soon.
Moreover, the Emperor of Daxia would recall He An when the enemy was facing the enemy.
Unexpectedly, He An was exposed long ago and is now controlled at Beidu Junyi.
In Luo Yang's mind, Liangzhou Camp's He An, as an insider, was already in his pocket, and perhaps he was not too wary at all.
"The common fault of famous generals... is to be careless and underestimate the enemy." Fang Jue shook his head, with a sneer on his lips.
If this point is taken advantage of, Luo Yang may be able to stumble.
"Send someone back and order Lu Xin to bring He An here..."
"What do you think?" Ye Hongyi, Lin Bei, and the deputy general all had their eyes lit up.
…
Without waiting for daybreak, Lu Xin appeared in front of Fang Jue with his feet flat on his back and ordered his men to carry sacks.
In order not to expose the news that He An had been arrested, Lu Xin did not use a prison van, but mixed the sacks with the grain cart and brought them there.
With a flutter, the sack was thrown down. Lu Xin stepped forward to untie the sack, revealing He An's head.
The messy hair and bloodshot whites of his eyes showed the extremely bad mental state of this young general.
"Young Master, I brought him here, hehe." Lu Xin thought that Fang Jue was going to follow his suggestion and interrogate He An, so he even had paper and pen ready.
He even called Bai Qing from the Hanging Sword Division to be a witness.
Inside the tent in the ruins of the ancient city.
Fang Jue looked at He An, and He An looked at Fang Jue.
"Who are you?" He An naturally had never met Fang Jue.
"No matter how big or small you are, the young master is in front of you, why don't you pay your respects?" Lu Xin's face, which was not swollen yet, was full of a stern expression that looked like a fake and a tiger's.
He An was stunned and said: "Are you a young master?"
Fang Jue looked at He An and said bluntly:
"How did you contact the Beiliang Army, and with whom did you reach a tacit agreement?"
"..." He An was silent.
Fang Jue said calmly: "Luo Yang hasn't attacked Liangzhou yet, he thinks you are still in Liangzhou... I plan to use this to make some articles. If you cooperate with me, maybe I can speak for you in front of His Majesty in the future."
"Dedicate your crime to meritorious service?" He An raised his head, his eyes suddenly filled with hope.
Fang Jue poured cold water on him: "Don't think about it, you are dead, but your family may be exempted."
He An was a little disappointed. He knew that the crime he committed would have terrible consequences.
The reason why I tried every means to commit suicide before was because I didn't want to affect my family, wife and children.
After weighing it for a moment, He An sighed: "Okay..."
