Chapter 1977 Exposing An Yaluoshan (2)

"Lord Protector, I was not the only one who saw this. In addition to Wang Chong, there were also King Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Tongluo General Albus, Beidou General Gao Xianzhi... ..., everyone has seen it, this matter is absolutely true and cannot be wrong. 35xs”

Wang Chong said calmly.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible..."

Zhang Shougui's face was full of shock, and he murmured to himself, obviously unable to accept it.

Wang Chong sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhang Shougui had been deceived by An Yaluoshan for a long time. In a short while, with only a white jade porcelain scroll and a piece of paper with the words "Dashi" written on it, he could convince him and change the inherent impression in his mind. impossible.

In fact, Wang Chong was mentally prepared before inviting Zhang Shougui over and had already expected this scene.

"I heard that Dadu's old illness relapsed. During the Youzhou War, he was bedridden and was taken advantage of by Yeon Gaesumun. I wonder what's going on?"

Wang Chong continued.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I know what Your Majesty means, but this matter really has nothing to do with that slave."

"I joined the army when I was a teenager. I have been in the army all my life and have encountered many dangers. I am able to reach where I am today because of my bravery and fearless struggle. Everything has a cause and a result. Young I worked too hard during that time and left behind many hidden diseases, which led to my current situation!"

Zhang Shougui said with emotion.

Thinking about how high-spirited he was at the beginning, no one in the entire empire except the Holy Emperor was taken seriously by him. Even the crown prince and Shaobao Wang Zhongsi, Zhang Shougui did not think that he was far behind. How could he have expected that a secret epidemic broke out? , and finally ended up in this situation.

"How noble is Geng, the Protector-General, this year?"

Wang Chong shook his head, not surprised at all. Instead, he asked about Zhang Shougui's age.

"I am fifty-seven this year."

Zhang Shougui's expression froze, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Wang Chong's words were really a bit abrupt, but Zhang Shougui still reported his age.

The entire Tang Empire knew this matter very well, and there was nothing to hide.

"Seven out of fifty, it is the time when the dragon is vigorous and the tiger is fierce, and it is in the prime of life. Don't you think, Lord Protector, that this hidden disease came a little early? My grandfather Jiu Gong was a civil servant. In terms of martial arts, he was not as good as the Protector, but he was also The secret disease only occurred when he was more than seventy years old. Don’t you think it’s too weird and too early for the Protector-General to have the secret disease at such a young age?”

Wang Chong said calmly.

"this……"

Zhang Shougui was speechless for a moment and could not speak immediately.

He is a great military general with unparalleled martial arts skills. Of course he will not admit that he cannot compare to a civil servant.

But the onset of injuries within his body is also an indisputable fact.

"I had thought about this before."

Zhang Shougui's expression slowly softened:

"In the entire Northeast, if there is one person who is the most suspicious, it is Yeon Gaesumun of the Goguryeo Empire. Only he has the motives and abilities."

"And it's really suspicious that he sent troops to Youzhou this time. Not long after I fell ill, he sent his troops to march westward. It happened to be when I was at my weakest. As for the memorandum, it seems that he deliberately wrote it in order to cooperate with this operation. A means to deceive others.”

"Yuan Gaisuwen is cunning and treacherous, with many conspiracies. He is my enemy of the Tang Dynasty after all. One day, I will kill this beast."

In the final analysis, the reason why he has today's humiliation is all thanks to Yuan Gaisuwen. One can imagine the anger and murderous intention in Zhang Shougui's heart.

Wang Chong frowned. He just wanted to attract Zhang Shougui's attention to An Yaluoshan. He didn't expect that Zhang Shougui was so prejudiced that he actually thought of Yuan Gaisuwen. Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel deeply. A sigh.

Zhang Shougui thought An Yaluoshan was too simple and was deceived by him too much. When he told him the truth later, Zhang Shougui didn't know how to be angry.

"Pop!"

Wang Chong said no more and just clapped his hands twice. The next moment, boom, the palace door opened, and two palace guards pressed a figure into the palace.

"An Lan!"

Seeing the man Wang Chong rushed in, Zhang Shougui's eyes showed surprise:

"King of Foreign Land, what are you doing?"

The person Wang Chong rushed in was none other than a maid serving him in the Anton Protectorate. This trip to the capital was unexpected and time was short, so Zhang Shougui left her at the Andong Protectorate in Youzhou without taking her with him.

Wang Chong didn't speak, but flicked his finger, and a wisp of black energy shot out and entered Anlan's body. After just a moment, with a cry, the woman finally raised her head, but her expression was slightly dull, as if she was trapped in Like a dreamland.

This is a sign of being completely controlled by the nightmare beast.

"Anlan, tell Lord Protector, what do you put in his tea every day?"

Wang Chong ignored Zhang Shougui and looked directly at His Highness's maid.

"I, I don't know, it's none of my business..., the young commander asked me to do it!"

An Lan waved his hands repeatedly and said with an uneasy look on his face.

boom!

Zhang Shougui was originally staring at Wang Chong, with a hint of anger in his heart, waiting for him to give him an explanation, but after hearing these words, his expression suddenly changed.

"Anlan, what did you say?"

There was a hint of trembling in Zhang Shougui's tone.

"Daduhu, spare your life! I didn't mean it, it was the young marshal. The young marshal arrested my parents and threatened me, asking me to add some white powder to your tea every day. This really has nothing to do with me. I really didn't mean to kill you. Dadu protects me!"

An Lan was trembling all over and almost cried. There was no one in the entire Youzhou who was not afraid of Zhang Shougui, and the level of fear was even far greater than that of Wang Chong.

Hearing these words, Zhang Shougui was shaken all over and instantly lost his composure.

"Master Protector, this is also my fault. I only mentioned that An Yaluoshan was poisoned, but I didn't pay attention at all. He didn't poison the food at all, but tampered with the tea."

Wang Chong said calmly.

This Anlan was the target that Feng Linhuoshan spent a long time identifying.

"Master Protector, forgive Wang Chong for speaking frankly, you are not suffering from a secret disease at all, but you have been poisoned by someone else, and the poison is in this packet of paper. Master Protector is good at tea ceremony, this fragrance should be familiar to you, right?"

Wang Chong said, and with a flick of his fingers, he placed a folded paper bag that he had taken out at some point on the table, pushed it gently, and slid it in front of Zhang Shougui.

Zhang Shougui looked stiff and hesitated for a moment before picking up the paper package. As soon as he opened it, a familiar smell hit his nostrils.

In an instant, Zhang Shougui's expression became extremely ugly.

Zhang Shougui doesn't like women, but he only likes drinking tea. This was a habit he had when he was young, and it has been retained to this day, and it has become the best way to relax during his military career.

Even when the battle was at its fiercest, Zhang Shougui was always in the mood to make a cup of tea and hold it in his hand.

After this incident spread, it has already become a good talk in the empire, and it has also become a demonstration of Zhang Shougui's strength.

As for the soldiers under Zhang Shougui, seeing their commander so relaxed, their confidence increased and their morale became even higher. In turn, it also contributed to the legend of Zhang Shougui being invincible in battles, so after so many years, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Shougui has retained this habit.

As soon as the paper bag was opened, Zhang Shougui smelled that it was "An Yatuo Tea" dedicated to him by An Yaluo Mountain. The Chinese meaning is the flower of the God of War. It is said that it was picked from Yaluo Mountain, the mountain of the God of War in the original Turkic Empire. Extremely rare.

This kind of tea has a special aroma and sweet taste. Zhang Shougui fell in love with this tea after drinking it a few times.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. There is no way that An Yaluoshan would be so bold. Moreover, I also let the slave-catching generals in the army drink it before. It was precisely because they were fine after drinking it that I..."

After Zhang Shougui said something, he thought of something, opened his lips, and couldn't say anything.

Wang Chong sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhang Shougui was well strategist after all, and he still discovered the problem.

"The slave-catching generals in the army are all barbarians, and most of them are in their thirties or forties at most. They have not experienced battles, and they have no hidden diseases. Of course they will be fine after drinking it. Only the adults are seriously injured. After drinking this tea, they can Inducing hidden diseases in the body."

Seeing that Zhang Shougui didn't say anything, Wang Chong said the next half of his sentence.

There was dead silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Zhang Shousi was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, with a flickering light in his eyes. His fists were loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again. It was obvious that heaven and man were at war in his heart, and he was caught in huge contradictions and doubts.

When Wang Chong saw this, he sighed deeply.

With Zhang Shouli's intelligence, in the face of such conclusive evidence, he had already guessed a lot of things. However, An Yaluoshan's disguise was too shrewd, and his image was already deeply ingrained, even in Zhang Shouli's heart. With doubts, it is difficult to accept it for a while.

"If you still have any doubts, Lord Protector, I have prepared something here."

At this moment, Wang Chong spoke again:

The Protector-General is proficient in Goguryeo, Xiyu, Khitan and Jingyu, and you can tell them at a glance. "

Wang Chong said, taking out two envelopes that he had prepared earlier from his sleeves and handing them over.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be two letters. Judging from the envelopes, they were a letter in Goguryeo and a letter in Hanjuehan.

Zhang Shougui was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the two letters from the table, opened them, and just glanced at them. Zhang Shougui's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

After reading the second letter, Zhang Shougui even started to tremble.

"...The first letter was intercepted from Wandu City with great difficulty. Lord Protector-General has been fighting with Yeon Gaesumun for many years, so he should recognize his handwriting. This letter was written by him to a general under Lord Zhang. It contains Part of it talked about the cooperation between the two parties. The Protector-General knows everything and should have guessed who his spy is."

Wang Chong looked at Zhang Shougui and sighed deeply, with some pity in his heart:

"There is also a letter, which was intercepted by my troops who broke into the nobles of the Han Dynasty. If Mr. Zhang needs it, I can also provide Mr. Zhang with the same letter from Xi and Khitan. - Mr. Zhang , Don’t you understand now? The Battle of Youzhou, from beginning to end, is a play jointly performed by An Yaluoshan and Yuan Gaisuwen, as well as the Xi, Khitan, and ** Jue Khanates! "

"The small team that crossed the East China Sea and attacked Goguryeo at night was basically the troops sent by An Yaluoshan, just in the name of curing the secret disease of the Lord. There is also the sudden appearance of the strange army on the battlefield of Youzhou. Do you really think that the Hu troops who were temporarily recruited in An Yaluo Mountain can be so well-trained that a group of stragglers can defeat the elite regular army under Yuan Gaisuwen? By the way, I forgot to mention it. Lord Protector may not know yet, but there is no princess in Goguryeo. The so-called princess is just an adopted daughter who was temporarily adopted by Yeon Gaesumun two months before the Battle of Youzhou!"

Wang Chong said calmly.

"boom!"

Hearing Wang Chong's last words, it was like a thunderbolt falling. Zhang Shougui was shaken all over, and he couldn't say a word.

Wang Chong's words were like a sharp awl piercing deeply into his mind.
