Chapter 228 Page 17 Posthumous Letter

The next day, Chu Tianya invited Yao Gu to the Star Picking Building to discuss how to know the king of Xiangzhou Kang.

King Kang is a direct relative of the royal family or a marshal who leads troops outside; Yao Gu is a general in the town and is the most taboo and careful general in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. If these two people have any private contact outside behind the back of the court, it is a taboo, not to mention involving state affairs and military affairs.

This is more careful. If it doesn't work well, it's the crime of the slaying clan.

Therefore, Yao Gu can take the initiative to propose that he will connect with Chu Tianya and Kang Wang. Chu Tianya is still very moved. Now there are not many officials who can see the national interests and the safety of a party more important than their lives and personal honors.

Yao Gu knows the stakes of this matter better than Chu Tianya, so he is very cautious.

Because of time constraints, Chu Tianya wants to set out as soon as possible. Yao Gu's idea was that Chu Tianya sent a powerful confidant to go with him, and Yao Gu took the military carrier pigeon with him. If King Kang allows, he will send a letter pigeon notice there, then Chu Tianya will send troops directly from here, which can save as much time as possible.

"I can only go in person." Chu Tianya said decisively, "King Kang is not an ordinary minister and general. If I don't go in person, he will think that we don't even have the most basic sincerity."

"Is the general going in person?" Yao Gu couldn't help but be stunned, "Who is in charge of Xiaocang Mountain?"

"Military Shi Bai Hexu." Chu Tianya said, "I can leave most of the things to Baixu, and I can rest assured. Only to go to Xiangzhou to meet King Kang, I must go in person.

"How many soldiers and horses is the general going to bring?" Yao Gu asked again.

"Eight thousand cavalry."

Yao Gu was even more stunned, "This is almost all the cavalry in the hands of the general, right?"

"That's right."

Yao Gu's expression became more and more severe, "It seems that the general has made great determination to fight this battle. But has the general ever thought... These 8,000 cavalry are likely to have no return."

"I've thought about it." Chu Tianya replied indifferently, "Since it is a war, it will definitely kill people. Local sacrifice is for the overall victory. Of the 100,000 rebels, there are only 8,000 cavalry in total, and 5,000 of them are my personal guards. How reluctant he is, Yao can imagine it. But in order to reverse the strategic passivity, this sacrifice is inevitable.

Yao Gu took a deep breath and nodded, "The general is a great man..."

"This time, I will do it myself." This sentence of Chu Tianya surprised Yao Gu again.

"This, this is not appropriate!" Yao Gu hurriedly said, "The upper general is tied to thousands of people. He is the mainstay in the east of the river. How can he take risks in person?"

Chu Tianya said righteously, "I have thought about it very well. Here in Hedong, there are Baiqi in Xiaocang Mountain and Zhang Zhifu in Taiyuan, with a total of 150,000 troops. There is no problem with defense. Even if Wanyan Zonghan's army is killed, it can at least be guaranteed. I stay here, which is the icing on the cake. But if the surprise team is handed over to anyone, it is not as effective as my personal command. Whether it is the march route or the random response, including major events such as negotiating with King Kang, and the diplomatic and ethnic problems that may be encountered in the future, they are not what ordinary leaders and generals can properly solve. So, I must go in person."

"It seems that the general has already thought about everything..." Yao Gu frowned at Chu Tianya and said with deep meaning, "The general is the lord of ten thousand people when he is young, so he still doesn't hesitate to sacrifice his life and forget his life. What else can Yao have? - General, it's not too late. Let's go now!"

"Wait a minute. On the other side of Xiaocang Mountain, I have to make proper arrangements to leave. Chu Tianya said, "Also, this matter can't reveal any news. First, it is for careful action and not to be exposed, and second, it is also for Yao Dutong's safety and future consideration. I will adjust the place of Zhang Zhifu, and Yao Dutong will go to Xuanfusi to report a sick leave. At that time, he will walk with me disguised as my pawn. In this way, many unnecessary troubles can be avoided.

"Okay, it's really a good idea for General Yao." Yao Gu hugged his fist gratefully and said, "Yao will go back to Xuanfu Department to take leave. If the general comes forward, you won't be afraid of Zhang Zhifu's embarrassment.

"Yao Du, please!"

Yao Gu is gone.

"Xiao Fei!" Chu Tianya called for the way.

Xiaofei came in and said, "Lord, please order!"

"You are quick. Let's go to Xiaocang Mountain immediately." Chu Tianya said, "Call Bai Yu, Jiao Wentong, Tang An and the old man to come to see me immediately. Remember, don't let Princess Xiao know!"

"Yes!" Xiaofei knew that it was a big deal, so he didn't dare to neglect it and left immediately.

Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Liuhe, I will serve you with pen and ink."

"Yes." Liuhe, who was familiar with the road, prepared the four treasures of the study, waited for Chu Tianya to speak, and then he wrote.

Chu Tianya thought for a moment, "I'll do it myself!"

Holding the pen, Chu Tianya meditated for a moment, and wrote a two-word head-up on the book - "the suicide note"!

As many as 17 pages, Chu Tianya wrote for an hour or two. After writing, I put it in a strong wooden box and then sealed it and put it at the head of my bed.

On the battlefield, no one can be 100% sure that they can come back alive, not to mention that this action is still so dangerous. Chu Tianya is not a sentimental person. He has died once. He can imagine how sad and overwhelmed his relatives and friends were at that time. Now, he doesn't want the Hedong Rebel Army to fall into a mess after his death, and Xiao Linglong doesn't even know what stupid things he has done.

So he talked about the issue of the heir in his suicide note and his account with Xiao Linglong.

When doing these things, Chu Tianya was not particularly excited and emotional, but very calm. Maybe it's because of being born again. Although he cherishes the many hard-won things in front of him very much, at the same time, he also thinks thoroughly about some things between life and death.

Even if he comes back alive in this operation, this suicide note can be kept all the time, and it will naturally have its value. To put it exaggeratedly, it can at least become the "political program" of the 100,000 Hedong Army in the next few years, which is a metaphor for "moving to Guanzhong"; it also points out the historical direction between Song and Jin, and also predicts a number of major events that may happen in the future.

Chu Tianya is sure to believe that no matter who will take over the Hedong Rebel Army in the future, as long as he generally does what is said in the suicide note, he can make a difference. The only way that can't be taken is to become a vassal of the imperial court. The court of the Song Dynasty is not short of people or soldiers. When the 100,000 Hedong Army comes to them, they will not only lose their previous personality and sharpness, but also the outstanding generals and advisers in the army may also die at the hands of their own people.

How is Yue Fei outstanding and successful in history? What is the result?

Therefore, if you want to make a difference in this troubled time, you can only find a unique way, not with the regime.

Among the leaders of the Hedong Volunteer Army, the most capable are Jiao Wentong and Baixu. But Chu Tianya believes that only Meng De can really convince the public and lead everyone to stick to his route.

Maybe Meng De is not outstanding in talent, but he has outstanding personality charm and open-mindedness. With the assistance of Bai He, even if there will be no amazing achievements, he will not make many low-level mistakes.

Chu Tianya can't worry too much about the rest.

As for personal issues, Xiao Linglong... Chu Tianya can't arrange her life, so she can only ask her to continue to survive bravely!

That night, all the people Chu Tianya wanted to meet rushed to Taiyuan and entered the Star Picking Tower. Chu Tianya first asked if she had shocked Princess Xiao, right? Uncle He answered affirmatively and said no, because the young master did not live in the barracks of the Yecha Army in the past two days without Princess Xiao, and he was training vigorously.

"Okay, since everyone is here, I want to announce something important." Chu Tianya asked everyone to sit down and said, "Jiao Wentong, Tang Ang!"

"There!" The two of them stood up and solemnly hugged their fists.

"I ordered you two to lead the Xiaoqi and Hu Benqi to secretly gather at the mouth of Huanglong Valley tomorrow night." Chu Tianya said, "Remember, it's a secret operation! You don't have to carry most of the weight, everything is simple and light!"

"Yes!" The two of them didn't ask much, but agreed generously.

Chu Tianya looked at Jiao Wentong, "Second brother, please be sure to avoid Princess Xiao and don't let her know."

Jiao Wentong nodded, "Okay."

Everyone didn't ask much, but they had vaguely guessed something and thought of the importance of this incident.

"Bai Zhuo!"

"My subordinates are!" Bai He hurriedly agreed.

Chu Tianya got up and walked to him and gave him a beautiful cloth bag and sword. "This is my seal and sword, and I will leave it to you from today on. Before I came back, the whole Hedong Rebel Army was controlled by you. Other leaders will receive my order to learn about this.

"Ah! ..." Bai Yu was shocked and his face turned white. He hurriedly retreated, "Xiao, Xiaosheng dare not accept it!"

"What, are you afraid?" Chu Tianya's face was tense, "When you are in a critical situation, you, a military squir, are you afraid?"

"Xiaosheng is not afraid, it is..." Bai Xun opened his eyes and looked at Chu Tianya in horror, and suddenly shouted, "Lord, you can't take risks in person!!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense, and everyone unconsciously stood up and gathered around Chu Tianya.

"Sitting down." Chu Tianya said softly, but it was irrefutable.

Everyone had to sit back, including Uncle He, without saying much.

"Listen, Baixu, I'm giving you an order as the lord, not discussing with you!" Chu Tianya said seriously, "Do you dare not answer?"

"Xiao, Xiaosheng..." Bai Xu's lips trembling, with unprecedented nervousness and hesitation.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly and went to the bedside to pick up the box containing the suicide note and gave it to him, "Take it. If you are not sure or hear anything about me, gather the leaders to open the box together. Remember, don't open it unless you have to.

Bai Xunran grabbed it and looked at Chu Tianya in a staring way, with straight eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Chu Tianya patted him on the shoulder and said with a relaxed smile, "I just asked you to represent the military for a few days. What are you nervous about? Have you never done this kind of thing before?

Bai Qi held the box and his hands were shaking.

"I know you can do it." Chu Tianya slapped Bai Yu's shoulder and said to He Bernu, "Sir, I'll ask you to take care of him. Don't let him get hurt, just like you have been taking care of me."

Uncle He slowly stood up, frowned deeply and his eyes were bright. He did not ask or hesitate. He just nodded, "Okay."

One word made Chu Tianya feel reassured.

Chu Tianya looked at Uncle He and read more and more "father" flavors from his eyes. So he smiled, and Uncle He's eyes suddenly became wet.

The old man nodded heavily and sat down.

Father's love has always been deep.

He Bo naturally knows what Chu Tianya is going to do. Of course, he didn't want Chu Tianya to take this kind of risk, and he wouldn't let him follow. However, when the son grows up, he will always fly alone. He has his ideals and pursuits, and his life goals.

The sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps - let him go!

Concern and reluctance, longing and pride are piled up in the old man's heart at the same time. For the first time, his eyes turned red and wet in front of outsiders.

How many years has this kind of thing happened?

"Tang Ang." Chu Tianya called and diverted everyone's attention from the old man.

"I'm there!" Tang Ang hurried up and looked at Chu Tianya with longing.

Those who can be called here today are all people who are about to shoulder heavy responsibilities and deserve the trust of Chu Tianya. Tang Ang is straightforward and doesn't want to lag behind in anything. He is such a straightforward person.

"You have always been in charge of the tiger riding with Anu. But tomorrow, I want you to find a way to get rid of him, quietly leave Xiaocang Mountain with my cavalry, and meet Huanglong Valley with Brother Jiao. Chu Tianya said, "Can you do it?"

"Well, this..." Tang An scratched his head, "Then I'll get him drunk and tie him up, shall I? He and I are brothers. There is a reason. He won't blame me!"

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "If you do this, you won't catch up with Princess Xiao in Huanglong Valley - what is the relationship between Anu and Princess Xiao, and what happened? He reported it early in the morning. That's why I only call you today, not Anu.

"What should I do?" Tang An's head was so big that he went to drag Bai Wei in a hurry, "Military division, military division, please think of a way for me quickly!"

Bai Wei also waved his hand with a bitter smile, "Tomorrow I will give an order on behalf of the Lord to temporarily transfer Anu to Qixingzhai to change his guard with you! - It's just Lord, if Tang Ang goes, who is suitable to guard the Tianyu Pass of Qixingzhai?"

Chu Tianya said lightly, "Now that you have the power to do it on my behalf, do you still need to ask me?"

Bai Xi was slightly stunned, "Well, I know..."

Chu Tianya exhaled, "After the nightfall tomorrow, the soldiers and horses will start. At the beginning of Hai, I will wait for you to enter the valley together in Huanglong Valley. It is stationed in Huanglong Valley at night. Remember, you must pay attention to hiding your whereabouts and not expose them! All insiders must keep their mouths shut, including brothers and relatives around them, and they are not allowed to reveal a little bit!"

"Yes!!"

"Twelve Qingwei, old man, Princess Xiao, Xiaofei and Taiyin Taichang, all stay." Chu Tianya said, "Others, come with me."

"Lord, why am I...!" Xiaofei was anxious and was about to argue. He glanced at the old man next to him with a cold light in his eyes, and immediately stopped talking.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "The old man is surrounded by people. You should do things quickly and leave to serve; Taiyin is too often... Go and take care of the princess for me."

"Yes..." Xiaofei answered gently, and Taiyin often dared not say much.

"That's it!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "There are other matters that I don't understand. I will explain something else. Please disperse and prepare for yourselves - remember, secrecy is the most important!"

"Yes! ......”

Everyone agreed, and their expressions were more complicated than each other. Bai Shu held the Yinxinling sword and the wooden box, and it felt like holding a mountain, and his arms were extremely heavy.

Chu Tianya came to him and said with a relaxed smile, "Stay well with the camp and the city, and wait for me to come back."

Bai Xun's eyes turned red at once, his teeth were clenched, and the voice seemed to spewed out of his chest - "The city is in a person, and the city is dead!!"
