Chapter 380 Mengcheng
"Stop talking nonsense and talk about what's important!" Yin Jie suddenly seemed a little impatient after hearing Zhou Chuntian ramble for a long time.
"Yes...that's actually what happened. A few days ago, we heard that An Qibao, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, broke into the rebel camp and assassinated Luo Tianbao. At that time, the entire camp was turned upside down. But last night we heard that
He came again and caused the whole camp to panic. At this time, a woman suddenly broke into the place where Brother Yan and I were detained and helped us to untie us. We were all stunned at the time. At first we thought it was us.
The people arrived, and when they got to the bright light outside, they saw that it was Gao Yulan, the official who promoted the rebellion."
"Gao Yulan!? Could it be that she is the daughter of the former Linhai King Gao Yigong, whom outsiders call her "One-eyed Yaksha"?" Yin Jie couldn't help but ask at this time.
"That's her. She is now Luo Tianbao's supervisor. She has been responsible for interrogating us prisoners. At that time, her subordinates felt it. Compared with others, she was obviously much kinder to us prisoners. As a result, until this time
It was only after we rescued her that she made it clear that she had no choice but to surrender to the rebels. It was Luo Tianbao and his son who threatened the lives of her family. She had been holding back revenge in her heart, but she didn't get it. This time she finally finally
Looking forward to the opportunity, she has already contacted a group of soldiers who were originally from the Linhai Navy in the rebel army, planning to rebel before the battle and work with us internally and externally to defeat the rebel army. However, there has been a lack of someone to inform her, so this time she took advantage of An'an's safety.
Qibao went on an assassination attempt, and the rebel army's camp was in chaos, so we brothers were released and sent a message to you, the general, for her. This is how the whole thing happened."
Yin Jie couldn't help but feel something in his heart when he heard that Gao Yulan was unwilling to surrender to fight against the rebels and defended Dexing for several months. This was known to the whole world. It was undoubtedly reasonable to say that she was unwilling to surrender to Luo Tianbao and his son. If it was really like what Zhou Chun said, then
There is no doubt that it is possible to defeat the rebel army. If he really succeeds in this feat, not only will the war situation in Hezhou be reversed in one fell swoop, but Yin Jie's worth will also double. In the future, he will be on an equal footing with Cui Tianyou, Ning Xiaoquan, Shi Liwei and other veteran generals.
Impossible, but Yin Jie is proficient in the art of war after all. He rolled his eyes and immediately slapped the table.
"Bold Zhou Chun, you have been favored by the country for many years. After being captured, you did not think of killing yourself and serving the country with all your loyalty. Instead, you colluded with the enemy to deceive this general. Which one is intolerable? Come here, drag these two traitors down.
Kill them on the spot!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, several soldiers immediately came up and dragged Zhou and Yan down. Naturally, they refused and shouted that they were wronged. Upon hearing this, Yin Jie immediately stopped everyone.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Chun, why do you still have the nerve to say that you were wronged?"
"General, then I was indeed wronged."
"Okay, you are stubborn, right? The general said that you are convinced. Let me ask you, if Gao Yulan had long wanted to submit, why didn't he take action before? He had to wait until Mengcheng could not be attacked for a long time before he made this idea. Isn't that right?
Is it obviously a ploy to lure the enemy?"
"My subordinates were also suspicious of this matter at first, and even questioned Gao Yulan face to face. She said that Luo Tianbao did not trust her and many admirals in the navy before, and was always on guard, so she did not get the chance before. For this reason, Gao Yulan
Yulan did not hesitate to sacrifice her appearance and repeatedly treated Luo Tianbaoxu like a snake. Only then did the latter relax his guard against him, and Gao Yulan was finally able to make a secret plan. "
Yin Jie didn't say anything, but he still believed it in his heart. There were many rumors about Luo Tianbao from the outside world. One of them was that he was a romantic by nature and never lacked women around him. It was said that Gao Yulan was also a famous beauty, and Luo Tianbao coveted her.
It seems reasonable to say that Hue and Li make the person faint, but Yin Jie did not relax his vigilance and continued to question.
"Then let me ask you again, since An Qibao failed to assassinate him once, he should have expected that the rebel army would take precautions. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he comes again?"
"My subordinates have also inquired about this matter. It seems that An Qibao thinks very highly of himself. He was angry when the assassination attempt failed last time, so this time he simply used a surprise to win. I heard that he almost succeeded. He relied on the ability to win over many rebel soldiers.
They were driven back, but it also caused chaos in their camp."
"That's not right. The rebel camp is heavily guarded. How could it be so easy for you two to leave even with Gao Yulan's help? It seems like you two are still spies!"
"General, you have really wronged us. Gao Yulan went through a lot of trouble to get us out. For this reason, they even killed two soldiers guarding us. This is what we brothers saw with our own eyes. It cannot be wrong.
, Even so, we both struggled all night before escaping back, General, you have to trust us."
Zhou and Yan were begging hard at this time, and they were in tears at the end. Yin Jie saw that it didn't look like they were being hypocritical, and thought about their words again, and finally gave the order: "Push them back first."
The soldiers heard that they didn't know what was going on and immediately brought Zhou and Yan back. Yin Jie then said: "Zhou Chun, I think we have been together for many years. If I trust you again, what exactly is Gao Yulan going to do?
We should cooperate inside and outside, please explain it in detail, if there is anything missing, I will have to take your head!"
"I don't dare... My subordinates also know that this matter is of great importance, so they asked carefully before coming back. Gao Yulan and the others plan to launch a mutiny tomorrow... yes, tomorrow night to disrupt the rebel camp. I hope the general
At that time, we can send troops out of the city to meet them and defeat the enemy together. At that time, they will set fire to the rebel army's grain depot. As soon as we see the enemy's camp fire, we can send out troops."
Yin Jie then cross-examined Zhou and Yan in detail, and after confirming it several times, he asked them to take them down to wash and change clothes. He himself called the civil and military officials to hold a meeting to discuss the matter, and everyone immediately started talking about it.
, Yin Jie always trusts his cousin the most, that is, Yin Su, the son of Yin Ziqi, the famous general of the Dayou Army. The latter is also the number one brave general in the Mengcheng garrison. His relationship with Yin Jie is unusual, so he immediately went to
"General, do you think this is credible?"
"It's hard to say. I have cross-examined Zhou and Yan for a long time, and there should be no leaks in their words. But I always feel that this matter is a little too smooth."
"Hey, general, you are good at everything else, but you are too cautious in your use of troops. It is not always said in the art of war, "Use regular troops to defeat the enemy, and use surprise troops to defeat them." In this situation, if we fight step by step, we will be the ones who suffer. It is rare to have such a situation.
An opportunity is worth taking the risk, haven't you heard? When the rebels defeated Gao Yigong, they also cooperated with Li Bri. Now this is their retribution. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, we can't miss this opportunity."
"Brother Fool, I understand what you are talking about, Asu, but Mengcheng is of great importance. If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the overall situation, but even our brothers will not be able to explain it."
"Having said that, the western front is currently too tight to send reinforcements. Ning Xiaoquan does have people under his command, but they are unwilling to help us. If we continue like this, Mengcheng will not be saved. It is better to take a risk. General, if you are worried,
I am willing to personally lead the army to attack the camp."
What Yin Su said immediately aroused the response of many people. Once Yin Jie thought about it, what his cousin said was reasonable, and affected by the surrounding atmosphere, Yin Jie finally made up his mind to send troops to attack tomorrow night.
In the blink of an eye, the next night came. Yin Jie gathered his troops early and selected two thousand main troops to hand over to Yin Su. Everyone had been waiting for the signal from the rebel camp, but it was almost the second update and there was no movement yet.
