Chapter 3463 Prepare for a Rainy Day
You Wenzhi whispered: "The commander should keep this person... This Cui Dunli is a descendant of the Boling Cui family. He has a rich family background and is especially good at the art of war. Even if he is just standing outside the camp gate, he will , if he discovers any clues, it may ruin the commander’s affairs.”
At this time, if we send out fast horses, we can still catch up in time and capture Cui Dunli.
Chai Zhewei was entangled in his heart, hesitating again and again, and finally gave up, shaking his head and saying: "But once we capture this person, it will definitely make the East Palace wary, and even what we have planned will be exposed in an instant, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Besides, he only stood outside the camp gate. It may not be possible to detect anything wrong in a short while. If he doesn't notice anything, but the commander detains him in the army, wouldn't it be a self-inflicted crime? "
You Wenzhi couldn't say anything anymore and could only sigh secretly.
I thought that this commander was really scheming and had no courage. It’s already been a long time, so why do we need to worry so much? As long as Cui Dunli is detained, it won't take long. What if the East Palace knows the situation?
Is it possible that the prince dared to send troops to clear out the troops at Zuotunwei? Even if he dared, how could he have enough troops to come and annihilate the more than 50,000 Zuotun guards?
But once Cui Dunli discovers something wrong with Zuo Tunwei and goes back to report it, causing the Xuanwu Sect to be more alert, then the chance of success here will be greatly reduced. Even if it finally succeeds, a huge price will have to be paid...
Chai Zhewei also seemed to feel that his decision was not appropriate, so he hesitated for a moment before leaving the camp gate. After thinking again and again, he still ordered: "Don't alert the enemy! If the order is passed, all soldiers and horses should be ready immediately. As soon as the commander gives the order, they will act immediately." .”
"Here!"
A group of generals and commanders behind him responded with a roar.
Chai Zhewei put aside his worries, turned around and glanced at the silent Youtun Guards not far away in the wind and snow, and secretly gritted his teeth: Mother! Let you be arrogant for a moment longer, and when I raise my troops, I will first charge into the Youtun Guard and cut you bastards into pieces!
*****
In the wind and snow, Cui Dunli left the Zuotunwei camp and walked quickly without looking back. He didn't look back until he was one mile away, and then he said to the officer beside him: "Don't stop at your feet. Look back to see if anyone is following you."
The subordinate officer didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask. He just walked forward and glanced back a few times: "The wind and snow were very heavy, and there was no one following him nearby, but I didn't know who was far away."
In such a heavy snowstorm, the footprints on the ground were lost in a short time. If you want to follow them, you have to get close. If you can't even trace the opponent's shadow, it will be easy to lose them. Therefore, if someone is following you, it must be nearby. If you look back several times in a row and don't find it, then it's probably because no one is following you.
Cui Dunli took a deep breath and looked back. There was indeed no one in the wind and snow, so he said: "Speed up and reach the Youtun Guard as soon as possible."
It was freezing cold, but just now the middle coat under his official robe was soaked with cold sweat...
The atmosphere in Zuotunwei was really weird.
Although his soldiers were no different, if Chai Zhewei had any treacherous thoughts, how could he tell his soldiers clearly? Therefore, the soldiers knew nothing and only knew how to obey orders, but they were ignorant of the ultimate purpose of the orders.
But the movement at the armory is anything but normal. You can hear the soldiers shouting some strange slogans, which are the terms used when assembling the ladder... The duty of the left and right guards is to guard the Xuanwu Gate. They only need to guard the entrance under the city. Just cooperate with the Bei Ya forbidden army on the city. Where is the use of the ladder used to attack the city?
If the prediction is correct, Chai Zhewei may have defected to the Guanlong Clan, and even made an appointment to start a rebellion, and then captured the Xuanwu Clan...
The moment Yu Chai Zhewei looked at each other, he even thought he would die.
Obviously Chai Zhewei had suspected that he had heard the slogan of assembling a ladder at the armory, and from this he inferred that Zuo Tunwei had evil intentions. Xuanwu Gate is the gateway to Taiji Palace. Although there are only a few thousand Beiya Imperial Guards in the city, they are all elite and one is as good as ten. They rely on Xuanwu Gate to occupy all the geographical advantages, so it is not easy to capture them.
There is a big difference between suddenly raising troops and storming the city when everyone is unprepared, and starting to be on guard inside Xuanwu Gate and having no choice but to rush in and fight hard. Therefore, if Cui Dunli is left in the Zuotunwei camp, so that he cannot go back to report the news, and the Beiya Imperial Army strengthens its vigilance, the possibility of success is very high.
Fortunately, Chai Zhewei was a man of great ambition and lack of courage, so he did not dare to arrest or kill Cui Dunli before the incident. To put it nicely, it is because he is afraid of alerting the enemy. After all, it is not certain whether Cui Dunli has discovered that Zuo Tunwei has evil intentions. To put it badly, it is that he has two ends and has no courage. He covets the merits of Conglong, but is unwilling to take risks and pay too much. The price...
If only someone else was in charge of Zuotunwei, Cui Dunli would not be able to leave today.
In the wind and snow, Cui Dunli almost jogged all the way, and finally arrived at the Youtun Guards Camp. In front of the door, more than ten soldiers had already strung their bows and unsheathed their swords, staring eagerly at the figures walking out of the wind and snow.
"Stop anyone who comes!"
"The military camp is an important place, and any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
Under the light of the camp gate, sharp triangular arrow clusters and sharp horizontal knives exuded a cold light. Cui Dunli and others were stopped by the soldiers loudly before they were dozens of steps away from the camp gate. Then more than ten soldiers jumped out from behind the camp gate, rushed to Cui Dunli and others, drew their swords from their sheaths, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?"
Cui Dunli revealed his identity and explained his purpose, but the soldiers did not relax at all. He received another prince's edict and said in a cold voice: "You wait here, step forward, and kill without mercy!"
Two people rushed back to the camp to report the news to Gao Kan. The others stood in the wind and snow, forming a semicircle around Cui Dunli and others. Everyone looked at them eagerly. As long as Cui Dunli and others made the slightest move, they would be He swooped forward, swords and axes coming out.
The subordinate officer beside him swallowed his saliva, and his face turned a little pale whether from cold or fright. He whispered: "Cui Shilang, is this Right Tun Guard going too far? We are here to convey the order, and we are not thieves. Why should we be so prepared? ”
Cui Dunli snorted and said nothing.
Soldiers should be sharp and unyielding, uncompromising and unyielding, whether they are facing powerful enemies or powerful people. Especially in the important areas of military camps, this spirit must be vividly displayed. Only in this way can an army be cultivated with the temperament of forging ahead and killing iron-blooded soldiers.
Compared with the messy Zuo Tunwei, the Right Tunwei has the character of a strong army!
The military camp is an important area, and no one can trespass without permission. If anyone approaches without permission without obeying orders, they will be killed without mercy, regardless of their identity! The Youtunwei Army Camp in front of you has a bit of the temperament of Xiliu Camp...
Not long after, Gao Kan, the general of the Youtun Guard, led a group of his subordinates and walked out quickly despite the heavy snow. They came to Cui Dunli and greeted him with clasped fists: "General Gao Kan, please see Cui Shilang!"
Cui Dunli nodded slightly, then took out the edict, and Gao Kan knelt down on one knee to receive it.
After receiving the edict and reading it carefully, Gao Kan put it in his arms and said: "The weather is very cold and there is heavy snow in the sky. Cui Shilang might as well go into the camp and sit for a while, drink a cup of hot tea and then return to the palace to resume his duties."
Cui Dunli shook his head and said: "The situation is urgent, how dare we delay? However, I still have to give instructions separately..."
At this point, he paused for a moment, Gao Kan understood, and quickly retreated to the left and right, ordering the soldiers around him to retreat ten steps away, and then said: "I wonder what Cui Shilang has ordered?"
The Ministry of War is Fang Jun's base, Cui Dunli is Fang Jun's right-hand man, and Youtunwei is Fang Jun's subordinate, so although they don't meet much, they can completely trust each other.
Therefore, Cui Dunli did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "I just went to Zuotunwei to convey the order and saw him gathering soldiers and assembling ladders. It seemed that he had done something inappropriate."
Unexpectedly, Gao Kan didn't seem to be too surprised. He just frowned and whispered: "Cui Shilang may confirm?"
Cui Dunli said: "Nine times out of ten."
Gao Kan nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, Minister Cui. When our general left the capital, he told the general to guard the Xuanwu Gate with his own strength. Not only could he not count on anyone, but he also had to beware of Zuo Tun. Wei...therefore, Since the Guanlong clan gathered the rebels this evening, the general has ordered the army to be ready to fight at any time! As long as the Zuotun guards make any move, they will attack with all their strength and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
< br>
It turns out that Fang Jun had planned ahead and had anticipated it!
Cui Dunli, who admired and respected Fang Jun, nodded, but then raised his eyebrows and asked: "The right guard only has half of the army left with less than 20,000 people, while the left guard has more than 50,000 people. The soldiers and horses are strong and ready. If it is launched, it will be a thunderous force! Under such circumstances, the general is still confident to defeat it and secure the Xuanwu Gate?"
