Chapter 48 The fish has been hooked

The next day, Chen Su secretly arranged manpower to secretly monitor the officials and their families. Fortunately, these people did not escape from the movement of Weizhou. Maybe the time has not come, or maybe this matter is a rumor.

Wang Dan did not dare to take it lightly. In addition to sending soldiers at the three gates in the name of strengthening the city defense, he also ordered his cronies to take a lot of supplies to Jiang Bin's camp outside the city to inquire about the news.

However, the labor force had no chance to enter the camp at all. On the way, it was intercepted by the checkpoint. Jiang Bin brought people to receive the supplies and said a lot of polite thanks, but resolutely did not allow the labor force to enter the barracks. The reason was that the battlefield was heavy. For safety reasons, non-part men and horses were not allowed to enter.

Such news made Wang Dan's slightly relieved mind hang up again, and all kinds of suspicious points indicate that Jiang Bin was trying to hide something.

On the night of February 15, Fang Datong visited again late at night. This time, he brought more surprising rumors. The brocade guards in the barracks outside the city sent a letter back to the city, saying that Jiang Bin had reached a condition of surrender with the Tatans. The Tatsars would mobilize 3,000 soldiers to the suburbs of Weizhou, and Jiang Bin was responsible for defaming Weizhou City. Door, to assist the Tsars to capture the important town in Weizhou, it is said that Jiang Bin has only one condition for offering the city, that is, to ask the Tsars to hand over Wang Dan to deal with him. Such a condition was naturally agreed by the other party. At present, Jiang Bin is waiting for the deployment of the Tsars to deploy troops, while Jiang Bin blocked all roads in the north of the city and prohibited the sentries in the city. Listen to the news in the north to prevent the arrival of the army of the salams to be detected in the city.

Fang Datong's words were like a bolt from the blue, which paralyzed Wang Dan all over. Although Fang Datong repeatedly stressed that these were rumors of his captains in the barracks, all of which were unconfirmed; Wang Dan thought: Of course, it is impossible to confirm that Jiang Bin has blocked the barracks and all channels in the north. How to confirm the news? I'm afraid that Fang Datong's subordinate lieutenant will even be limited in action. It's quite difficult to spread the news of inquiry. How can we confirm the truth of the news?

No wonder the sentry in the city was blocked south of the Huhe River in the past two days, saying that Jiang Bin ordered anyone not to cross the Huhe River to the north, and the people and horses sent to the labor army were also blocked ten miles north of the city and could not approach the barracks at all. In contrast, Jiang Bin's surrender to the enemy was almost a foregone conclusion.

After Fang Datong left, Wang Dan hurriedly called Chen Su to discuss the matter. Before the matter was made public, because everything was speculation and speculation, and there was no evidence on hand. The news sent by Fang Datong stressed that it was unconfirmed, and he could only discuss the matter with Chen Su at present.

Chen Su listened to Wang Dan's narrative in horror and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, Jiang Bin is coming for you. He must feel that he must die this time, so he took the risk. One of the conditions for negotiating with the Tatar is to have your head. It can be seen that it is entirely because of personal resentment."

Wang Dan said angrily, "This guy actually ignores great righteousness. He is really a bastard for the sake of personal resentment."

Chen Su said, "No matter who dies, I won't care about any righteousness. If you don't force him to go, I'm afraid there will be no today's dilemma."

Wang Dan scolded: "I called you to discuss countermeasures, but I didn't ask you to release the horse."

Chen Su spread out his hand and said, "What can I do? Why don't we catch him off guard? We still have more than 4,000 people on hand. He only has 1,600 people and should be able to annihilate him in one fell swoop.

Wang Dan slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not yet time. If there is no evidence, the teacher will be unknown. Jiang Bin will die in the future. How can I explain it to the court?"

Chen Su snored and said, "That's true, his mother. If only he could catch the evidence. By the way, otherwise, his brother-in-law recruited Jiang Bin back to the city in the name of urging the war."

Wang Dan said, "How can he come back? Isn't that a joke?"

Chen Su said, "If he dares to come back, his brother-in-law will control him with a reason. If he really reach an agreement with the Taran, this move will just disrupt their plan, fetter Jiang Bin in the city, and then send someone to pick up the soldiers and horses outside the city and return to the city. The Taran soldiers have no internal response, and naturally the plan will be ruined."

"He won't come back." Wang Dan repeated.

"If you don't come back, doesn't your brother-in-law have a reason to send troops to hang him? He openly disobeyed the military order. On this grounds, no one had anything to say, and the court would not blame his brother-in-law afterwards.

Wang Dan patted the table and said, "Yes, I'm confused. I didn't expect this floor. This is a good way. I will order Jiang Bin to go back to the city to report his work tomorrow morning to see how this guy reacts."

......

As Wang Dan expected, Jiang Bin refused to return to the city on the grounds of military affairs. At the same time, Chen Su sent to monitor the families of the officers and reported that Jiang Bin and his generals' families were secretly packing up and seemed to have plans to escape from Weizhou.

Wang Dan was determined to carry out a fatal sneak attack on Jiang Bin. On the evening of February 17, Wang Shi gathered thousands of households and the generals of the guard battalion to attend the meeting in the Weizhou guard, preparing to announce Jiang Bin's behavior of disobeying the military order and asking everyone to gather troops and horses. The next morning, he followed him out of the city to question Jiang Bin to plead.

However, half an hour before the start of the meeting, when the generals of various ministries arrived in the government hall one after another, Fang Datong asked for an urgent meeting for the third time.

Wang Dan is sorting out his armor in the inner house. He has not worn this armor in front of outsiders for a long time. There are spots of rust on the armor, and the red scars on his hat have also changed color. Wang Dan ordered people to polish it everywhere. This is the first time in nearly three years that he has appeared in armor in front of everyone. He should pay attention to his image.

Hearing that Fang Datong suddenly came again, Wang Dan quickly summoned him and said as soon as he met him, "Fang Baihu, I'm going to destroy the anti-thief Jiang Bin. You have contributed a lot to this matter. Do you want to follow me? After the matter calmed down, I will write down a note for you in the memorial to the imperial court."

Fang Datong's face was extremely ugly and sighed repeatedly, "I can't do it, I can't do it, it's because of this."

Wang Dan was surprised and said, "What? I have gathered the generals to meet at the government, and 4,000 soldiers and horses set out four times. At dawn, I can go straight to Jiangbin's barracks and smash the conspiracy of this anti-thief. Why can't it be?

Fang Datong took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and handed it to Wang Dan and said, "This is the secret report I just received. Please have a look."

Wang Dan opened the small bamboo tube doubtfully and took out a small note in it, but saw a line of words written on the note: "The Taar has arrived, set an ambush."

"What does this mean?" Wang Dan didn't turn a corner for a moment.

Fang Datong sighed, "My lord, your call for Jiang Bin back to the city has shocked the snake. Since Jiang Bin disobeyed your military order, he understands that you will definitely lead the army out of the city to deal with him next. Isn't this information obvious? The soldiers are already in place and are waiting for you to drill in with their pockets open. Your excellency, didn't you just be tricked when you led the troops forward? It can't be done."

Wang Dan is like a ladle of ice water pouring from the head to the bottom, from the outside to the inside of the cold bone marrow. He sat on the chair and turned pale.

"This... this man is simply too insidious and vicious. I want to smash this man into ten thousand pieces."

Fang Datong lit the note on the lamp, burned it to ashes, and whispered, "Your Excellency, let's think about it in the long run. Jiang Bin has been taught to be defensive, and things have gradually become out of control. You'd better consider carefully about how to deal with it."

Wang Dan muttered, "What should I do? What should I do now?"

Fang Datong shook his head and said, "I think it's better to report it to the General Headquarters of Datong as soon as possible. If you really lose Weizhou, it's all over."

Wang Dan said blankly, "Yes, yes, report, report... Come here, cancel the meeting... Prepare horses overnight. I'm going to Datong Mansion to meet Mr. Wang Xun, the general."

That night, Wang Dan set out and went straight to Datong Mansion with dozens of cavalry and guards. The next afternoon, he arrived in Datong, the capital of Shanxi Province. He ran continuously for more than ten hours and was tortured by the wind and frost swords all the way, making Wang Dan, a well-off man and ghostless, and the bones seemed to be scattered all over his body.

But he did not dare to delay at all. Without even drinking his saliva, he went straight to the General Headquarters to see Wang Xun, the General of Datong General. When Wang Xun heard that Wang Danxing, the commander of Weizhou, had rushed to see him, he knew that the Taritans in Weizhou had been very harassed recently. He thought that something had made a mistake in Weizhou City and urgently postponed the military affairs meeting to summon Wang Dan.

Wang Dan reported everything to Wang Xun with a sad face, which made Wang Xun almost jump up from the chair.

"Are you saying that Jiang Bin turned to the Taran with the intention of capturing Weizhou?" Wang Xun was so shocked that his black beard blew up.

"It was the subordinate who felt that this matter was serious, so he came to report on the starry night and begged him to help solve it. The subordinate wanted to lead the soldiers in the city to attack and capture the traitors, but Jiang Bin and the Tatson colluded to set up an ambush, and the subordinate did not dare to act rashly."

Wang Xun said, "It's impossible. I've seen Jiang Bin. He is a brave and strong general. It's impossible to defect to the enemy. Is your news wrong?"

Wang Dan said urgently, "There is Fang Datong from Jinyiwei Baihu in Weizhou as evidence. If you don't believe it, you can go to him for evidence."

Wang Xun asked again, "Do you have any evidence?"

Wang Dan said, "This... is not, but everything is clear. Jiang Bin's behavior has been obvious, and the subordinate is ten times sure that Jiang Bin has betrayed me."

Wang Xun thought carefully for a while and said, "Well, this matter is serious. If something really happens, the court will also be furious, but based on your words alone, there is no evidence, and it is difficult for me to believe it. In this way, I will lead 2,000 people to go to Weizhou with you. If it is verified that it is true, I will work together to annihilate the traitors and the Tatari."

Wang Dan said gratefully, "Thank you, General. If the General Officer is willing to go, the subordinate will be sure."

Wang Xun said solemnly, "But I also want to remind you that if the truth is not what you said, you have to bear full responsibility. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Dan beats his heart, but at this point, he can't afford to hesitate. In addition, he has reached the conclusion that Jiang Bin has defected to the enemy, which is even more courageous.

"Don't worry, the general officer understands."
