Chapter 800 White Goose Old Shop
Seeing that Changsun Wuji was hesitating and didn't know who to send, Chu Suiliang said, "Mr. Wuji, this matter is very important, and it's too late now and the city gate is closed. If you want to see it, why don't we go together? First, it's called opening the city gate, and second, we can command it ourselves, so we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
As he spoke, Chu Suiliang winked at Changsun Wuji. Although it was a big deal to capture a large leader of Goguryeo, it was impossible for the prime minister to work on his own, let alone the four prime ministers to work together. But the problem was that they wanted to find an opportunity and talked "naturally" from Wang Ping'an's mouth, and the matter of establishing a crown prince was the most critical.
Fang Xuanling also nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is so serious, it is indeed our old bones who have taken action. Well, it is a disease-free young and strong, which can make up for the shortcomings of our bones being too old."
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and said, "It's important to be serious, we have to go into battle together!"
The three of them said that the matter was important, and they all meant something else, referring to the important matter of establishing the crown prince. But they understood, but Wang Ping'an couldn't understand it!
Wang Ping'an said: "The three lords are just arresting a spy leader of Goguryeo. Since the so-called great leader has come to Chang'an in person, he probably has aroused his will to die and will cause something. If the three lords go together, safety is worrying. It is possible that the great leader cannot do anything, but you can do something together. As a result, he can do something. Why not let me go there and lead more soldiers and generals, and not be afraid of those Goguryeo people making evil spirits!"
Changsun Wuji and the other two shook their heads together and said, "It's important to be important. You can't do it alone." The three of them stood up together and came out of the screen. Changsun Wuji walked towards the major case.
Wang Ping'an had to go out, wondering, what a big deal, this is? The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty took action to capture the spy leader himself, but he was still a sick spy leader. He seemed to be too hardworking in government affairs. Could it be that this is the legendary thing to do?
As soon as Changsun Wuji came out, the head of the case immediately stood up and went to the side. After Changsun Wuji sat down, he took a pen and wrote down the official document and handed it to the head, saying, "You go and transfer the two regiments of troops to gather in front of the door. They all need cavalry. I want to take them out for business."
The head of the company was shocked. Of course, he knew what Changsun Wuji was going out to do. He was sure that this matter was found out by him! But it was too much to mobilize the two regiments of troops at one time!
The head reminded in a low voice: "Sir Changsun, there are too many cavalrymen in the two regiments, and they are all war soldiers, with a total of 600 people!" He meant that even if he was suppressing bandits, he would not have to send so many, let alone just arresting a hundred or so spies from Goguryeo, which was exaggerated!
Changsun Wuji glared at him and said, "What do you know? If you want to encircle, you will naturally have to be several times more soldiers than the enemy. Are you questioning me when you say this?"
The head trembled and quickly retreated, saying, "The officials dare not, so the officials will go and dispatch troops now." He hurriedly ran away with the official documents.
Wang Ping'an glanced at Changsun Wuji, and he also wanted to express his doubts, but he didn't say it out loud. If you take more troops, you can lead more troops. You can be safer. In fact, he felt that it would be enough to send troops to this matter, or to recruit soldiers or take auxiliary soldiers. It would be a bit of a big deal to convene the warheads. If you are misunderstood and want to rebel, it would be a shame!
Changsun Wuji waved his hand to the officers and said, "Clean them up, and let them lead the way later!"
The servants immediately put on pants on the two half-dead Goguryeo spies. The two Goguryeo spies could not even move and were tortured.
Soon after, the head of the army came back. Changsun Wuji personally issued a document. The general of the Guard Mansion who was on duty was of course cursing favor. He immediately transferred two regiments from the troops guarding the capital, all of which were cavalry of the Zuowu Guard, the elite among the elite.
Changsun Wuji immediately took Wang Ping'an and the others out of the Secretariat. He saw that there had been two rows of cavalry waiting on the street in front of the door. When the cavalry saw Changsun Wuji coming out, they immediately dismounted and saluted.
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's go now!" He stepped on a war horse and took the lead. Wang Ping'an and others also got on the horse and followed behind.
The head of the army had long told the military generals of the Wei Mansion that they were going to the Baige Old Store outside the city. A soldier general recognized the road, rushed to the front and led the way, and ran directly to Guanghua Gate, and the brigade followed closely behind.
When he arrived at Guanghua Gate, the captain led the army shouted at the city gate. Changsun Wuji showed his face. The guards on the city were shocked. In Chang'an City, they mobilized their troops in the middle of the night. They either had the emperor's will or had the prime minister's order. The prime minister could not be one. They had to show the order when the priest was the same in at least two of the three provinces, so that the city gate could be opened. This was done just in case, and they were afraid that the minister would rebel.
Although Changsun Wuji was the most powerful minister of the dynasty, he still could not open the city gate according to the rules. Even if Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling were added, it would not work, because the three prime ministers were all from the Secretariat.
Chu Suiliang waved at Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an had to come up from behind and waved at the guards at the city gate. But it was still not possible to wave his hand alone. The guards ran over and took paper and pen, asking Changsun Wuji and Wang Ping'an to write a handwritten order for filing. They should be investigated in the future, so that the guards would have something to say so that they would not beheaded on their heads.
After a long time of busyness, the city gate opened, and the cavalry troops left Guanghua Gate and marched straight to the northwest.
Halfway through the way, Wang Ping'an felt something was wrong. Isn't this the way to Ganye Temple? If you run a little further, it will be Ganye Temple!
However, the cavalry did not go straight to Ganye Temple, but took another road, and ran a long way. From the distance, it had already passed Ganye Temple and ran straight for more than half an hour before it arrived outside a big town.
Wang Ping'an had never been here before, and had never seen this big town. Looking through the moonlight, he saw that there were thousands of families in this big town. This was in the capital, with a dense population. If it was in a prefecture and county outside the town, a city wall would be built outside the town.
It was still one mile away from the big town, and the cavalry troops slowed down, changed from galloping to trotting. When they arrived outside the big town, all the cavalry dismounted, leaving only dozens of people to guard the horses and protect the four prime ministers. The large army scattered and touched the town from all around.
Wang Ping'an got off the horse first, then stepped forward to help Changsun Wuji get off the horse, and joined Chu Suiliang and Fang Xuanling, and the four of them sat down on the edge of the woods on the road.
Wang Ping'an looked at the quiet big town and said, "I guess the two spies were caught have been found out by that big leader. They can't stay here, right? They have already run away!"
Changsun Wuji said, "Of course I ran away. The cunning rabbit has three holes. Not to mention spies, even ordinary fugitives will escape when they see their companions being caught. How could they stay here and wait for us to catch them?"
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Since you know that the spies have escaped and still ran here to encircle and suppress them, wouldn't you take off your pants and fart? Is this a waste of time?"
He complained in his stomach, but said, "Well, my uncle is right, but we should still surround him. Only in this way can we shock spies from other foreign countries and let them know that our Tang Dynasty will never show mercy to people like them. We must also let the people in this town know that they cannot take in the barbarians of foreign countries at will, and we must teach them a lesson."
The three prime ministers yelled together, but none of them took his words. But the head of the follower whispered: "Wang Xiang, uh... you're saying this right. But there's another reason. The officials have been doing business for many years and have been handling cases of arresting spies. They found that these spies had a common problem. After escaping, they always wanted to return to the spot to see if there would be pursuers. Especially before the spy's head was arrested, they were more likely to make such mistakes. So so many of us came out, not to arrest the hundreds of spies, but to catch the spy who came back and wait and see. Often, the case opened a gap from this person!"
Wang Ping'an said a word and remembered that in modern times, he had watched such film and television dramas. Most of the criminals had this problem and always returned to the crime scene to see it. However, when watching film and television dramas, they were lively and interesting to watch them. They didn't pay attention to this. Unexpectedly, tonight, outside Chang'an City, more than a thousand years ago, a director of the Ministry of War Department gave a popularization class on solving the case.
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I have some skills to let me see a doctor, but if I want to catch a spy, I won't be able to do it. This lord, you are organized and have a bright future!"
The head of the company was overjoyed and secretly looked at Changsun Wuji and the others. In front of the three great bosses, he was praised by another great boss. Does this mean that he would be promoted?
After a while, the big town first barked, then heard the sound of dogs. After a few shouts, they returned to calm. Then the footsteps came, and a small group of soldiers rushed towards the side, escorting two seemingly ordinary people.
When he got closer, the captain who led the army said, "Four prime ministers, they have caught them. These two are spies from Goguryeo."
The general threw the two of them to the ground. The two men didn't even move, their bodies trembled, but they couldn't make any sound. They were covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured, which was even more serious than the two men they had caught.
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Ask their big leader where he is hiding."
The captain pointed to the southwest and said, "I had already asked inside just now, and said that there was an abandoned horse farm seven or eight miles southwest. The place was very large and there was no one around. There was only a nun temple, which was very secluded and safe. The spies had no time to move to other places, so they all hid there."
Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "Yangmazhuang, nun Temple? It's not the Yangmazhuang next to Ganye Temple, right? I know this place, I have been to it before!"
Changsun Wuji turned his head and said, "Do you know? Then you lead the way, let's go now!"
