Those who came from Lizhou stayed behind in Lizhou. When the Lizhou battalion set off, some people were left behind to assist the general guarding Xuegu Pass.
But now, there is no need to guard Xuegu Pass, because outside Xuegu Pass is the boundary between Shuangzhou and Hanzhou, both of which belong to Daxia.
Therefore, those who stayed behind in Lizhou camp had time to spare.
"Does it mean that it is a capital offense for you to come here without permission?" Sun Yi saw the person coming, wearing a coir raincoat and a cloak, but he recognized him at a glance.
It was Wang He, the general he stayed in Lizhou.
This person actually came to Tuzhou and dressed up secretly. Sun Yi immediately realized that something big had happened.
"Sir, the people from the Xuanjian Division have begun to investigate us!" Sun Yi's confidants were all inside and outside the military tent, and they didn't care about leaking secrets.
Wang He opened his cloak, revealed his true face, and said worriedly: "Our business has been exposed."
Hearing this, Sun Yi looked grim and somewhat unconcerned: "So what, they can't get the evidence."
"Can it be stopped?" Sun Yi confirmed.
Wang He nodded: "You have told me that once we find out that someone is investigating, we will immediately cut off all business, and we won't be able to get any evidence even if they find out."
"There is no written evidence. Those who can testify are people from the enemy country in Beiliang. It is impossible to testify for the Xuanjian Division. Moreover, the words spoken by people from the enemy country cannot be presented in court as our confession." Wang He said proudly.
"That's good." Fan Ji was also here, and he felt quite relieved when he heard this.
"Since there is no problem, what do you want to do in person? Just send someone to come." A general asked.
Everyone looked at Wang He.
Wang He said: "Because there is another thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Prince Ning is plotting rebellion!" Wang He lowered his voice.
Sun Yi quickly signaled to Fan Ji with his eyes, and Fan Ji stood up, walked out, checked and came back.
"There's no one outside." Fan Ji said cautiously.
"Continue?" Sun Yi was shocked, "Prince Ning is plotting rebellion? Does he really dare?"
Wang He lowered his voice: "King Ning didn't know that you went north with the young division to fight against the rebellion. He thought you were in charge of the overall situation in Lizhou, so he sent someone to contact you and asked you to respond to him... He sent troops from Lizhou straight to Ganzhou. King Ning would meet Raid Ganzhou from Ningzhou to join forces with you."
"...Gulu." Fan Ji and others swallowed their saliva.
Sun Yi's seven or eight trusted generals all looked at each other with surprised expressions.
Then, he looked at Sun Yi.
Sun Yi said coldly: "Prince Ning is looking for death!"
"I deliberately cut off contact with him because I noticed his ambition and didn't want to get involved, but he sent someone to contact me!"
Sun Yi said angrily: "If I am noticed by the Xuanjian Division, even if I don't have any rebellious intentions, I will be jealous of His Majesty and will never be promoted in the future!"
The generals nodded in agreement.
In this era, there is a crime called "involvement".
If you have a good relationship with a treasonous person, once he is convicted, even if you are not killed as a friend, your career will be affected.
The important positions in the future will definitely not be yours.
The reason is very simple. Who knows if you have a good relationship with this criminal? What if you are always thinking about helping him avenge or reverse the case? Of course, the court must guard against you and cannot give you great power.
"We are not very clean to begin with. If we are involved in Prince Ning's case again, we will really be doomed." Fan Ji became serious.
Sun Yi agreed: "During this period, I deliberately made friends with Young Master and He Feng. They were both a little indifferent to me. Now my old supporter, Prince Ning, is planning to rebel again... Once this happens, where will we go?"
One person gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's better to do the opposite!"
"Bold!" Sun Yi yelled angrily, "You don't want your life, don't involve your brothers!"
"I was just talking casually..."
"How can you say this casually?" Fan Ji also said seriously.
Sun Yi thought for a long time and decided: "This matter should be reported."
Someone said: "If King Ning really succeeds and separates one side, we will lose money if we don't respond."
"Just because Prince Ning wants to learn from Luo Yang?"
Sun Yi said disdainfully: "Don't forget, the young master is still in the north. He disappeared for so long and went to Ningzhou. Prince Ning has no chance!"
"Yes...if the general goes to Ningzhou, then King Ning will be defeated. The strength of the firearms battalion is obvious to everyone." Fan Ji tutted.
…
"Brother Sun?" He Feng was notified that Sun Yi was already outside the tent.
As the chief officer of Tuzhou, He Feng's camp is now equivalent to the commander's tent.
In the core area of the entire garrison, surrounded by the confidants of the Suzhou Battalion, the Firearms Battalion was at the closest side.
"General He, you are well." Sun Yi greeted He Feng familiarly after not seeing him for several days.
He Feng: "Please sit down."
"I'm not going to sit down anymore. There's something big going on here today. I want to ask General He to report to the capital. Make preparations early." Sun Yi looked serious.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Yizheng said seriously: "I have received reports from Lizhou's old troops that King Ning plans to rebel!"
He Feng had a wonderful expression, remained silent, and looked at Sun Yi with a smile. He was a little surprised that he would appear here and say this.
"oh?"
"Isn't General He shocked?" Sun Yi said in surprise.
He Feng said calmly: "The general went to Ningzhou just to pacify King Ning. Why should I worry?"
"So, the general already knew this?" Sun Yi looked incredulous.
They really pretended to be like that, these two people... Xiao Neng stood aside and felt like they were watching a comedy.
"But how did Brother Sun know that Prince Ning was planning to rebel?" He Feng suddenly changed the subject, General!
Sun Yi pretended to be troubled and said: "Prince Ning has an old relationship with me, so he tried to make me rebel. Naturally, I can't live up to His grace, so I thought of coming here to make a complaint and let the court prepare early."
"It seems that I came too late. The court should have known about it a long time ago... Prince Ning is indeed seeking death."
As he spoke, Sun Yi clicked his tongue repeatedly, shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Sun is quite honest."
Seeing Sun Yi coming to make his first complaint, He Feng was relieved. He was planning how to restrict Lizhou Camp.
If Sun Yi pretends not to know, it means that he has a deep relationship with Prince Ning, is worried about being implicated, or is really planning to rebel.
Then you have to prepare early and take a preemptive strike.
But Sun Yi came to report, which alleviated the suspicion and there was no need to attack him again.
"I'm ashamed. I discovered Prince Ning's ambition a long time ago, but I didn't realize that he was so bold and didn't report it to the court in advance... I'm really ashamed." Sun Yi sighed repeatedly.
It seemed that he really regretted not asking the court to make preparations earlier to reduce losses.
He Feng nodded and said, "Brother Sun, you still don't know. Yesterday, the young master received a letter. Ningzhou is now calm, and I, Tuzhou, no longer have any worries."
"So fast?" Sun Yi was really surprised.
He knew that if he came to report now, it would be too late to stop Prince Ning.
But he didn't expect that Fang Jue would strike faster and more decisively.
From Ningzhou to Tuzhou, it also takes two or three days to send a message urgently, which shows that King Ning has been captured long ago.
"Yes, the young master is really clever. He attacked all night long. Before King Ning had time to raise his troops, the entire Ningzhou army was suppressed."
"The people of Ningzhou were not affected by this incident at all. This battle deserves to be recorded in history."
He Feng thought about the details mentioned in the victory report and how Prince Ning was captured by Fang Jue quietly. The method was simply unpredictable.
"How many days ago did it happen?" Sun Yi asked additionally.
"Six days ago." He Feng didn't hide anything. The messenger didn't hurry up. There was no need to rush eight hundred miles if the good news didn't arrive in Beijing.
If you drive from Ningzhou at a normal speed, you can arrive in Tuzhou in five or six days.
Of course, even if the speed is not eight hundred miles, this speed is still faster than the speed of the cavalry's rapid march.
"Six days ago?" Sun Yi's gums were trembling, and he finally suppressed the panic in his heart.
…
"How's it going? What did He Feng say?" Seeing Sun Yi return to the camp, Fan Ji and Wang He looked at him in the military tent.
Sun Yi drank two bowls of tea in a row to calm his restless heart.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't hesitate and went to report it immediately..." At this time, Sun Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. In this snowy Tuzhou, his back was actually wet.
Even the hand holding the tea was trembling, as if he had caught too many sparrows when he was a child.
Fan Ji frowned: "General, why are you so nervous?"
"Really? You went to complain first. This is considered a merit. He Feng won't embarrass you, right?" Wang He was also confused.
Sun Yi suddenly turned around, stared at Wang He and said angrily: "Prince Ning is finished!"
"ah?"
Several people didn't react for a while.
King Ning is finished, that's for sure. With King Ning's strength, it is impossible for him to succeed in overturning the world in Fang Jue's hands.
He must be finished?
"Prince Ning has been captured. Last night He Feng received a good news from the general from Ningzhou." Sun Yi stared at several people, his eyes wandering over their bodies, and he could see their trembling.
"You mean that King Ning has already been defeated?" Wang He was shocked.
"When did this happen?" Fan Ji grasped the key point and looked at Wang He.
Sun Yi also looked at Wang He and asked seriously:
"Wang He, how many days ago did King Ning send someone to contact Lizhou Camp and ask me to join him?"
"Three days ago!" Wang He said seriously, "I rode fast all the way, which is comparable to the speed of eight hundred miles. Because this matter is important, I dare not make a decision. Naturally, I have to ask the general."
"Three...three days!"
It takes three days to drive from Lizhou to Tuzhou. We can take Xuegu Pass, go straight to Hanzhou, and then to Tuzhou.
Wang He came here almost without sleep.
"hiss--"
Suddenly, there was the sound of gasping for air in the military tent. This chapter has been completed!
