Chapter 43 Intelligence
Wang Wenzuo finally nodded, and the atmosphere in the room became lively. A relaxed smile appeared on everyone's face. Yes, in a foreign country, what could be more joyful than news about the homeland? But Wang Wenzuo
is the only exception. After all, what separates him from his motherland is not the Yellow Sea, but thousands of years. The Emperor of Chang'an does not have that kind of special power with him.
"Owner!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Wenzuo raised his head and saw Sancho's concerned eyes.
"Your breakfast is already cold. Do you want to heat it up?"
Wang Wenzuo lowered his head. The biscuits and boiled eggs on the table were already cold, and white grease had condensed on the plate. He shook his head: "I have no appetite, you can eat it!"
Sancho nodded happily. Wang Wenzuo patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the door. The cold wind that came to him made him shiver. Suddenly he stopped: "Was this guy riding a horse or on foot when he was captured?
"
"I have no idea!"
"Go figure it out, right away! Forget it, if you have a horse, bring it to me!"
When the cellar door was closed, Gao Yan let out a long breath. The interrogation just now put a lot of pressure on him, but he still got through. He actually had two messages: the first one was the Tang Dynasty envoy he confessed
The minister urged the Silla people to march, and the second one was to send a message to more than a dozen surrounding villages to concentrate their forces to besiege this small group of Tang troops. He only told the first one, but concealed the second one, because the messengers sent at the same time
He was not the only one, even if he was captured, the notice would still be in place, and these Tang people would mistakenly believe that the Baekje people would mobilize troops to reinforce Zhouliu City after hearing the first news, thereby weakening the pressure on Sixian City and thus relaxing
Be vigilant, this will be very beneficial for the next action.
Bang!
The cellar door was pushed open violently, Gao Yan raised his head in panic, and saw Wang Wenzuo walking in with a gloomy face, followed closely by Sancho.
"Where are you from?"
"Come from Zhouliucheng!"
"Did you pass through other places on the way?"
"No, the military situation is urgent, don't dare to delay! The villain has never left the saddle all the way!"
"You lied!" Wang Wenzuo's loud voice echoed in the cellar, making Gao Yan's ears buzz: "You are not from Zhouliucheng at all!"
Gao Yanqiang suppressed the panic in his heart: "No, what the villain said is true. He did come all the way from Zhouliucheng!"
"I just went to see your horse. The horse is very fat. If you came all the way from Zhouliucheng and traveled hundreds of miles on snowy roads, the horse must have lost almost all its fat. How can the horse be so fat?"
"This -" Gao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he stammered immediately. As Wang Wenzuo said, horses are actually extremely delicate animals. It's okay to eat hay in normal times, but in wartime, they have to be fed concentrates - beans.
Food and even eggs are better to eat than people. Moreover, they will lose weight during long marches. If they are not allowed to rest and feed concentrates, they will die of exhaustion. If I came all the way from Zhouliucheng in the snow as mentioned, I would lose weight on the way.
The horse must have been very thin before the horse was changed. I had never thought of this when I made up the lie, but it was exposed by the other party.
"Actually, the villain changed horses on the way -"
Wang Wenzuo was too lazy to listen anymore. He gestured to Sanqiu and turned around to go out. Sanqiu walked up to Gao Yan and showed a ferocious smile: "Thief, you dare to lie in front of my husband, okay,
I must let you taste my power today!"
"Sanlang, are you saying that guy is lying?" Cui Hongdu's face looked a little ugly.
"Well, I just saw the horse that guy rode. The horse is very fat. If it came from Zhouliucheng, the horse must have been very thin!"
"Baekje dog thief!" Gu Cihang punched the table, causing the bowls and chopsticks on it to jump: "It's all such joy!"
"Gu Qimo is annoyed, I think the news that there are envoys from the imperial court coming to Silla should be true?"
"Why do you say that?" Gu Cihang asked in surprise and joy.
"Very simple? Think about it, having an envoy from the imperial court come to Silla is a big deal and cannot be kept secret for long. Maybe we have already got the information from other channels. If he lies about this matter, it will be too easy to be exposed.
If it were me, I would either lie about other trivial matters or hide some facts, but I would not lie about this matter!"
"good!"
"That's what Saburo said!"
Wang Wenzuo's analysis immediately aroused a chorus of approval, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively. Obviously, for these people, the envoys from the mother country are their only hope.
"This guy deliberately deceived us. It's really hateful. Let me torture him and let him know how powerful we are!" Yuan Aolie said loudly. His ancestors were originally from the clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. When Gao Qi usurped the Wei Dynasty, he massacred the clan. His ancestors
He fled to Yizhou incognito and changed his surname back to his original name only after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty. He was the most brave and reckless man.
"I have asked Sancho to torture him. Yuan Shisan, you are too heavy-handed. If you beat someone to death, you will be in trouble!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is to find out what this guy is hiding. I have a
I have a premonition that we are in danger now, Yuan Shisan, Gu Qi, you two each take ten cavalry, one to the west, one to the south, go out for forty miles and see if there is any movement around you!"
Yuan Aolie and Gu Cihang exchanged glances and said in unison: "Yes!"
"Next!"
The cook banged the rice bucket with a big wooden spoon and shouted to the team.
The queue was very long, with more than 300 people as far as the eye could see, and there were more people behind, and there were five such queues in total. Black Teeth Changzhi couldn't help but recall what his father said to him when he was a child: "There are
There are as many mouths as there are hands!" Yes, as a general, the first thing to consider before setting foot on the battlefield is not how to defeat the enemy, but how to fill the mouths of his men. Otherwise, before being defeated by the enemy, he will
Will be devoured by countless mouths behind you.
After receiving a letter asking for help from Zhouliucheng, Heiji Changzhi made up his mind to launch this military operation to get rid of the little flea that had been biting his back. The appearance of the Tang envoy brought him a very bad feeling
He had a hunch that the situation in Baekje had undergone subtle changes. Is it getting better or worse? He didn't know. The only thing he could do was to do his best.
"Changzhi, when will we set off?" Sha Zha Xiangru's voice came from behind.
"Tomorrow morning, if the weather is good!" Heiji Changzhi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window: "Time is precious!"
"It should be said that food is very precious!" Sha Zha Xiangru snorted coldly and raised his chin to the people dining outside the window: "If we continue to eat like this, our granary will bottom out!"
Hei Te Changzhi smiled and said nothing. Sha Zha Xiangru said what he wanted to say but had not said. Yes, war is terrible, but famine is even more terrible. Compared with starving to death, dying of death
