Turbulent Times Chapter 250: Conspiracy

"General, this is a dead man raised by a powerful family of the Han people. Li Fengyun, General Yingyanglang of Zhangye County, is the direct descendant of the Li family among the eight great clans of Guanlong. But he holds an army of 20,000. Whether it is the Li family or Li Fengyun himself, he is naturally unwilling to be reconciled to someone taking his position, even if this person is the famous poisonous general who rose up in the Sui Dynasty."

"The suicide of this person is already doomed. Even if the general didn't order him to torture him to extract a confession, the messenger will die when he goes back. After all, he colluded with us to kill the poisonous general Wang Junlin. It's okay to kill him. If he can't kill him With the terrifying methods in Wang Junlin's legend, if he knew that Li Fengyun was behind the scenes, he would definitely retaliate."

The person who spoke was a Han counselor from Luo Gesen. For more than ten years, it is not uncommon for the major tribes and generals in the Eastern Turkic Khanate to have Han men as counselors. Scholars have always been officials in their own country, and there are always some weak-willed and virtuous people who work for the Turkic people regardless of the righteousness of the nation and the country. Among the Turkic people, especially the high-level people, there are always people who are far-sighted regardless of ethnic differences.

The counselor next to Luo Gesen is named Chen Ping. In fact, he is not his own counselor, but Qiming Khan's staff. Qiming Khan specially sent Luo Gesen to assist Luo Gesen when he went south. Qiming Khan valued it very much at ordinary times.

Chen Ping's father was a former minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because his heart was towards the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his family was killed by Yang Jian. Only Chen Ping, who happened to be outside, lived alone. After several years of hard work, he became one of Qiming Khan's most trusted staff.

Moreover, Chen Ping is in his forties, with a three-foot long beard and an elegant appearance. Like Luo Gesen, he has a sworn feud with the Sui Dynasty, so the two have a good relationship.

"Although Li Fengyun has good reasons for this matter, I think this matter is still a bit suspicious." Luo Gesen instinctively doubted all Sui people, "I can't understand that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty dismissed Li Fengyun for no reason. The official will not make any arrangements for him. You must know that the Li Fengyun family has a lot of power in the Sui Dynasty."

Chen Ping lightly stroked his long beard and said, "The general doesn't know. It is precisely because Li Fengyun came from a powerful family that the dog emperor of the Sui Dynasty would do this, because he has been sparing no effort to weaken the powerful family. , and I got news some time ago that Wang Junlin was Yang Jian's sharp sword to weaken the powerful family, and he must have used Wang Junlin to force a son of a powerful family who controlled an army of 20,000 to lose his military power, which is Yang Jian's favorite thing to do things."

Luo Gesen nodded, Chen Ping made sense, because of the hatred with the Sui people, he usually pays attention to the situation of the Sui Dynasty, and knows a little bit, after thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Chen, In your opinion, what should we do in this matter, be used by Li Fengyun to kill Wang Junlin, or let Wang Junlin take Li Fengyun's military power."

Chen Ping said without hesitation: "The powerful family is the biggest cancer in the Sui Dynasty. Since the emperor of the Sui Dynasty wanted to weaken the powerful family, we naturally cannot let him succeed. Junlin's fierce reputation and power, if the general can kill the opponent, not only will his prestige increase in our Eastern Turkic Khanate, but even in the Western Regions. I heard that those people in the Western Turks are very afraid of Wang Junlin .”

"Mr. Wang is really thoughtful."

Luo Gesen repeatedly praised: "And killing Wang Junlin can be regarded as breaking Yu Juluo's arm."

Chen Ping suddenly moved in his heart, and said: "What the general said reminds me of a clever plan, which can help the general successfully complete the task assigned by Khan."

When Luo Gesen heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Chen, what is the clever plan?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "After the general killed Wang Junlin, he tried to tell Yu Juluo about Li Fengyun's collusion with us to kill Wang Junlin. But there is another person beside Wang Junlin who is Yu Juluo's grandson, do you think Yujuluo will kill Li Fengyun in a fit of anger, and the latter will naturally not sit still, and there may be civil strife in Yongzhou at that time, then Not to mention that the danger of the Tuyuhun people can be resolved, the general can also take the opportunity to kill the Sui army."

The deputy of Luo Gesen next to him was a little worried: "What if Wang Junlin can't be killed?"

Luo Gesen sneered, and shouted: "Although Wang Junlin has some powerful means, but now he has returned to Yongzhou from the Sui capital, and there are at most a few hundred guards around him. He, what face do I have to go back to see Khan."

…

…

In the vast northwestern land, the Qilian Mountains are like a giant dragon stretching from east to west, stretching for thousands of miles, dividing the entire Hexi Corridor and half of the land of the Western Regions into two.

For thousands of years, from Jincheng to the west to Zhangye County for eight hundred miles, pedestrians have walked through the Hexi Corridor, but this Hexi Corridor has also gradually formed six important large and small corridors due to the direction of the mountains and valleys. The passages are called Qilian Eight Roads, of which the Gansha Road is the most important. It is the shortest direct passage connecting Shazhou to Zhangye and Jincheng counties. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

This channel has an important pass in the east and west of Zhangye County in the Sui Kingdom, and the westernmost is Wang Junlin's Gaotai City. To the east is Shaping Pass, which is guarded by Zhangye County Yingyanglang General Li Fengyun's confidant Guoyi Lieutenant Li Congrui. Every day, countless merchants who take the Silk Road pass through this strategic road. A Shiping Town was formed east of the Shaping Pass.

At noon that day, a team of more than 200 people arrived in Shiping Town. Among them were three carriages, and the rest were knights dressed as guards. It looked like officials or dignitaries from aristocratic families were traveling.

Although the Sui Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, the road is not peaceful, not to mention that Zhangye County has been taken back for less than a year, and there are many horse thieves and bandits in the Qilian Mountains. Now they are fighting with Tuyuhun. Normal.

However, the targets of horse thieves, grass bandits, and mountain bandits are mainly concentrated on businessmen with rich pockets and low social status. The army encircled and suppressed, so most of the merchants came and went in groups, and some merchants even paid for the army to **** them. In the past year, Li Fengyun has also done this kind of thing from time to time.

Shiping Town belongs to Matou County in the east of Zhangye County. It is less than ten miles away from Shabeng Pass. At least 80% of the households are shopkeepers.
