Just as everyone fell into silence, Wang Xiaojie walked out of the forest carrying a person.
After leaving the person beside Yang Fan, Wang Xiaojie wiped his face, wiped off the blood, sat on the ground and panted, "These Jiangnan gentry are simply crazy. They actually sent so many people."
Come and besiege us."
"When I just went up the mountain, I met a few men in black. Although I killed all the opponents, these soldiers were very powerful and definitely not ordinary guards. From my subordinates' point of view, they looked more like dead soldiers raised by the Jiangnan gentry.
, everyone should be careful.”
Wang Xiaojie has extraordinary martial arts and is also proficient in concealment and assassination. He actually said that several people were difficult to deal with, which was far beyond Yang Fan's expectation.
It seems that the Jiangnan nobles have really sent dead soldiers, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
There are only more than a hundred people on our side who can fight. Even if we defend the favorable terrain, it will not have much effect.
But what's the point of catching this guy?
Judging from his appearance and attire, this person should not be from the Jiangnan gentry.
He should be a scout of the Shanyue people, right?
Seeing the doubtful looks in everyone's eyes, Wang Xiaojie continued: "This guy was caught casually. He should be a scout from Shanyue. If you can get information, ask him. If he doesn't tell you, he will be killed directly."
Scout Shanyue was so frightened that he trembled all over. These people were so arrogant that they killed people at every turn?
You haven’t asked yet? What should we say?
Yang Fan smiled. It seemed that Wang Xiaojie had been in the army for so long that his psychological warfare had become more and more slippery.
However, he knew that the heat was not enough, so he motioned to Xi Jun to buy it with his eyes.
Soon, the scout was taken down.
A quarter of an hour later, the scout was brought back covered in blood, apparently having been severely beaten by Xi Junmai.
As the captain of the special forces, Xi Junmai is certainly proficient in all kinds of punishments. He has many ways to make these passionate Shanyue people speak.
Looking at the scout, Yang Fan asked: "Is your commander-in-chief's injury serious? Where is he now?"
The scout did not dare to hide anything anymore and answered all questions:
"Commander Zong's injury is not serious. He is currently recuperating in the camp at the foot of the mountain."
I had just been tortured by Xi Jun's tactics and was frightened to death.
What's more, he felt deep fear and awe when facing Yang Fan.
Shanyue people worship the strong, which is why Lei Kunming has unparalleled prestige among Shanyue.
The Yang Fan in front of him now was a fierce man who almost killed Lei Kunming, the commander of the Shanyue Sect, with one knife.
Yang Fan frowned and was puzzled: "Since your commander-in-chief was not seriously injured, why didn't he lead his men to continue the attack, but instead stayed at the foot of the mountain and did not leave? Why?"
This time Scout Shanyue did not speak, but looked up at Yang Fan, obviously wanting a guarantee.
After all, once the information combination is revealed, he has no trump card to save his life.
Seeing this, Yang Fan burst into laughter.
It seems that not all Shanyue people are reckless.
At least the prisoner in front of him is a slippery person and knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for some treatment.
Yang Fan turned to Xi Junmai and said: "Let him go, treat his injuries first, then change his clothes and give him some food..."
As long as you want something, you are not afraid of death...you are not afraid of this guy not telling the truth.
What's more, with so many people guarding him, he can't escape. Give him a sweet spot to get more information.
Xi Junmai's eyes widened, he looked at Scout Shanyue, and said fiercely: "My lord, this guy is so shameless, it's just a habit, or I'll kill him with a knife!"
These words frightened the scout so much that he turned pale and trembled all over. It was obvious that Xi Junmai had just given him too much fear.
Yang Fan's face darkened: "Go quickly, he's just a mountain man who was bewitched by others, and he's not a life-or-death enemy."
"Is it the king's ministers who lead the troops? We all belong to the common people of the Tang Dynasty. Although we are now in opposition for various reasons, how can brothers have hatred overnight?"
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
Having watched a lot of later spy dramas, Yang Fan certainly knows that a carrot or a big stick can make people's inner defenses collapse.
Xi Junmai had no choice but to send someone to prepare.
He couldn't understand why Yang Fan was so cruel sometimes.
For example: I just asked myself to beat this guy up before I even asked him.
Sometimes there is some kindness in women...
Now he actually treats the enemy's wounds and feeds him. It's so contradictory that he doesn't even know which one is his true identity.
However, he knew that what Yang Fan said was always right, and he just had to implement it firmly.
After a while, the guards brought a change of clothes and food.
After having someone help Scout Shanyue briefly treat his wounds, Xi Junmai took out a package, threw it in front of the scout, and coldly snorted: "It's good luck for you kid to meet a kind-hearted father-in-law. If you follow the instructions,
You have such a temper that I have to break your hands and feet, and if you dare to deceive me again, you will be forced to taste my torture again?"
The scout trembled with fright.
But I quickly changed my clothes and took a few bites of dry food.
No matter what, I will be a dead man even if I get killed later.
Wang Xiaojie would not tolerate him. He stood up and kicked him, and said angrily: "You know how to eat, and I'm still hungry? Have you forgotten what the father-in-law asked you just now? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
How could the Shanyue scout dare to neglect: "Master, don't fight, I said..."
It's just that I ate too quickly and choked unexpectedly. The dry food got stuck in my throat and I rolled my eyes.
Yang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to ask someone to throw water to him.
It would be a pity if you choked to death. I just sang the red face and the white face.
What's more, this prisoner is very smart and knows how to see the situation clearly, which is obviously different from ordinary Shanyue people.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Shanyue Scout Gudong drank all the water in the water bag, glanced at Yang Fan gratefully, and then said: "My lord, Commander Zong did not attack after being injured. I don't know the specific reason, but the reason why he did not retreat is because of two Han people.
.”
"Some time ago, a Han man came to the village. He looked like he had a lot of status. He was said to be a military commander. He seemed to have fought with us Shanyue people."
"But he made a lot of conditions when he went up the mountain that day to form an alliance with our Shanyue. The purpose was to attack you, the governor?"
"As for the other Han, he is a young man. It is said that he was exiled to Lingnan. This guy paid us Shanyue people to intercept the road. He has been living in the village for the past few months. It is said that one of this guy is a high official in the imperial court.
's father."
"During the previous attack, we Shanyue people suffered heavy losses. Originally, Zong Shuai wanted to lead his troops to leave, but these two men seemed to have made some conditions to Zong Shuai, so we stayed."
Two Han Chinese, one is an exile, the other is a soldier, and he is also a noble?
In the past two years, the general sent by the imperial court to conquer Shanyue was Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun.
This guy has been the general manager of Jiangnan for two years. Could it be that this guy got involved with the Shanyue people?
If that's true, that would be really interesting.
Yang Fan touched the darkening hair on his lips and gradually fell into deep thought.
As for the young man who was sent to Lingnan, his father was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and his eldest son Chong disappeared.
That young man was obviously Changsun Chong.
It is not surprising that both Zhang Liang and Changsun Chong wanted to cut themselves into pieces, so they united with the Shanyue people to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan continued to ask: "How many reinforcements have you come this time, and what are your plans?"
"This time the Jiangnan nobles have raised nearly 10,000 people, but the personnel are complicated and there are disagreements over who will take command. There will be no attack for at least two or three days."
The scout answered Yang Fan's questions one by one.
Hearing this, Yang Fan squinted his eyes and smiled: "I know a lot. It seems that you are not an ordinary person, and I heard that you speak in an orderly manner, which is different from ordinary Shanyue people."
The scout suddenly fell silent, just shook the dry food in his hand, then silently opened his mouth and started eating.
Seeing that this guy was playing deep again, Xi Junmai glared and was about to get angry, but Yang Fan stopped him with a wink.
When everyone saw this, they all understood what Yang Fan meant. Although everyone was full of curiosity, they still got up and left.
Obviously the scout had scruples, and he would definitely not confess everything if there were many people.
Of course, no one will worry about Yang Fan's safety.
This scout couldn't even defeat Wang Xiaojie, and he had no right to make trouble in front of Yang Fan.
The scout ate his godmother in silence, Yang Fan did not rush him, and the atmosphere became strangely quiet.
Putting the last bit of dry food into his mouth, the scout licked the residue stuck to his fingers, then sighed slightly and said slowly: "Actually, I am not a Shanyue person, but a Han..."
This time it was Yang Fan's turn to be surprised!
Can a Han serve as a scout for the Shanyue people?
Although this location is dangerous, it is the eyes of an army. Are the Shanyue people so reassured?
Ignoring Yang Fan's surprised look, the scout said again: "The young father was originally the captain of the Imperial Guard who accompanied His Majesty the former Sui Dynasty when he went to Jiangdu. At that time, Yu Wenhuaji conspired to rebel, and Jiangdu City was in chaos, and many soldiers defected to General Yuwen.
.”
"As a close minister of the Sui Emperor, my father knew that surrender would mean death, so after His Majesty's death, he had no choice but to hide in the mountains. With no other way out, he took his family to live in Shanyue. Later, my father passed away, and I also
We can only stay in Shanyue."
This is another tragic song of troubled times and a story of being on the run!
Yang Fan was dubious about such a story, after all, it was too bloody!
So Yang Fan asked his doubts: "Since you are a Han, why can the Shanyue people accept you? In addition, the Sui Dynasty has been dead for more than 20 years, and now it is the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you go down to live in the mountains, but are willing to
Stay in a mountain full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants?”
The scout shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said angrily: "Who doesn't want to live down the mountain? But Jiangnan belongs to the Jiangnan gentry. These beasts who only oppress people, cloaked in the garb of benevolence, justice and morality, are more disgusting than snakes, insects, rats and ants."
"To put it bluntly, the laws of the Tang Dynasty are of no use here. This is the world of the gentry, and they can kill anyone they want!"
"If someone like me, who has no identity documents, is discovered by these people, he will be caught and worked in a mine until he dies of exhaustion and starvation."
"But by staying in the mountains, I can still survive. If it were you, how would you choose?"
The scout burst into tears and vomited out all the grievances, sorrows and anger in his heart.
A Han Chinese is forced to join the Shanyue people, and he can still have a bite to eat by following the Shanyue people.
Once you return to the Han world, you will be treated like a cow and starve to death. How ironic!
Yang Fan was silent!
This is the evil feudal society, but he can't change it for a while.
Even people can trade clearly, let alone an unknown person.
Once caught, he might be thrown into a mine to die of exhaustion.
Although Yang Fan knew that the Jiangnan nobles were arrogant, he didn't know they were so arrogant!
No wonder His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth every time he mentioned the Jiangnan gentry, wishing to kill all of them.
These guys simply regard Jiangnan as their own private land.
In Jiangnan, they could listen to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's will if they wanted to, but they could ignore them if they didn't want to.
What is the difference between this and the independence of Jiangnan from the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
It seems that the guy in front of me is also a miserable person!
Yang Fan sighed, waved his hand and said: "You can go, maybe I will regret it after a while!"
The scout was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears, and asked in surprise: "Are you really going to let me go?"
Yang Fan nodded and said: "Even if you are from Shanyue, I will not massacre for no reason, not to mention you are a Han Chinese with the same ancestors."
"You should leave quickly. It's best to stay far away, otherwise the sword will not have eyes in the next battle."
It doesn't look like Yang Fan is cheating.
What's more, he has no ability to resist at all, so there is no need for a big shot like Yang Fan to make fun of himself.
After tentatively walking out for a few steps, the scout looked back and saw that Yang Fan did not stop him. Instead, he waved his hand to the guards to make way for a passage.
The scout stopped, hesitated, and then said to Yang Fan: "You are a good man. It must be a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people in Jiangnan to have a governor like you in Jiangnan..."
"If you, Grand Governor, are really left here by those sons of bitches, then God is really blind, and I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I just forgot to tell the Governor about something. Yamagotsu Sosama is actually more than half Han, which is why he can accept Hans like us."
This news surprised Yang Fan. Shangyue Zongshuai is considered to be mostly Han. What does this mean?
What made Yang Fan lose his temper the most was that this guy actually gave him a good guy card. What was going on?
Xi Junmai, who had been paying attention to the situation here, couldn't help it anymore and walked over with a quick stride.
He grabbed the scout's neck, lifted him up like a chicken, and roared angrily: "You little brat, you dare to hide your secrets from the prince. It seems that the general's
Haven’t you tried enough tricks yet? Come here, if this guy dares to hide something, he will be tortured directly..."
The scout was so frightened that his legs were weak!
Xi Junpan's fierce look really frightened him.
What's more, the torture just now made him tremble...
The Governor is still kind, he is simply the most compassionate and good man in the world!
The scout screamed in fright and quickly called for help: "Master Hou, help me, I didn't hide it deliberately!"
Yang Fan waved his hand: "Junmai, there's no need to scare him, just let him go! He's just a poor man who was cornered by the world. What's more, Han people don't make things difficult for Han people?"
Xi Junmai didn't hear what he just said, so he couldn't help but was slightly startled: "Is he a Han?"
Although I didn’t understand how a Han Chinese could get mixed up with the Shanyue people, I finally let go.
Yang Fan’s order is God!
The scout crawled to Yang Fan's feet and said sincerely: "Grand Governor, damn the little one. I didn't tell them all before because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me!"
"The Shanyue Zongshuai Lei Kunming is not a real Shanyue person. According to my father, the former Shanyue Zongshuai did not give birth to a boy, so he raised the son born by his sister as his own son."
"And his sister's husband is very mysterious, and few people know about it, but my father happened to know her. It is said that a very famous ranger came here drunk, and had a relationship with the sister of the former mountain Yue Zongshuai, and they secretly had a child.
"
"But this ranger left before Lei Kunming was born, so few people know about it. We only know that this man is named Zhang Zhongjian, and he is from Yangzhou..."
Yang Fan's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "What! Zhang Zhongjian?"
If Yang Fan remembers correctly, the real name of Qiu-bearded guest, one of the Three Fengchen Heroes, is Zhang Zhongjian.
It is said that he was originally the son of Zhang Jiling, the richest man in Yangzhou. When he was born, his father thought he was ugly and wanted to kill him. After he was rescued, he studied under Kunlun Nu. After he became an artist, he wanted to start an army and conquer the world.
After seeing Li Shimin, he felt ashamed of his inferiority and believed that the world would belong to Li Shimin, so he gave up his thoughts of conquering the world.
He once had an interest in Hong Fu Nu, but after learning that Hong Fu Nu was married to Li Jing, the three of them became brothers and sisters.
The bearded guest donated all his family property to Li Jing and his wife to help Li Shimin unify the world, but he left sadly.
According to unofficial records, the queen of Qiubeard was the leader of the Fuyu Kingdom.
In "The Complete Biography of the Tang Dynasty", Xue Rengui mentioned it during his campaign to the east.
Buyeo was probably located east of the Korean Peninsula, and was largely the Philippines or Thailand in later generations.
It is also mentioned in "The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty" that the bearded guest is the owner of an island country, most likely an island country near the Korean Peninsula. According to legend, he is the owner of 72 Islands.
If Lei Kunming is this guy's son, it would make sense.
It is said that the bearded man has amazing powers and was the number one master in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In the Sui and Tang Dynasties where there were so many masters, being able to get such a title shows his strength.
It is not surprising that Lei Kunming inherited the magical power of the bearded man. No wonder he can surpass him in terms of strength.
Suddenly hearing such shocking news, Yang Fan calmed down. This information must be used well to make a comeback.
Looking at the scout kneeling on the ground, Yang Fan smiled proudly.
Sure enough, you can't underestimate any insignificant person.
If I hadn't been kind-hearted, I wouldn't have received such information.
