Chapter 458 Two Traitors
Han Yu is very busy at the moment. Although he won the battle, there are still many follow-up problems, not only the aftermath of the casualties, but also the subsequent defense problems. We must strictly guard against the imperial army from attacking again. attack.
If Zhao Fan is not captured in this plan, the war will not end. Although the opponent's morale is seriously damaged and there should be no more actions in the near future, they still have to be prepared. There was so much commotion in the court. Han Yu also knew that Zhao Fan issued a military order in front of Wang Mang, so it was impossible for Zhao Fan to withdraw his troops.
The most important thing is the spies buried around them. This time, because of Han Yu's strict precautions, the biggest secret was not leaked, so Zhao Fan fell into the trap, but the news from them was still leaked, and it was How could Han Yu not care about the information that only high-level officials could know? However, the secret guards he had set up in private could not be exposed, and he could not explain the source of the information to Liu Xiu, so there was no way to prove the accuracy of these information. Han Yu knew about Liu Xiu's character, and would not attack the traitor without solid evidence.
However, although he knew what Liu Xiu might do, Han Yu still did what he should do. Without exposing his private power, he explained various doubts about the spies and asked Liu Xiu to deal with the spies. One of them was He was one of the people who incited Liu Xiu to retreat that day. There is another person who hides deeper. Even Han Yu can only reach the conclusion through reasoning. Because this person usually behaves in a low-key manner, and sometimes some comments support Han Yu's actions, which is completely different from the other spy. He has the opposite style, and is quite trusted by Liu Xiu. If Han Yu hadn't discovered this person's suspicions through his rigorous investigation, he would have almost escaped.
"Xiu Qi, is there any evidence for what you said? You can't just rely on your own guesses. It's easy to accuse others wrongly. Both of them have been with me for a long time and have come through the most difficult period in the beginning. . If Chen Chu has more doubts, I can still believe it. But except for the doubt you mentioned, everything else about Liu Kuan is normal, and that doubt may also be a coincidence. After all, it would be very difficult for him to do this under the circumstances. Normally, it would be too far-fetched for us to say that he is a spy lurking around us."
Liu Xiu really didn't believe Han Yu's words. Perhaps due to some factors, he subconsciously didn't want to believe it. Although Han Yu took the most credit for the victory this time, which made him rely more and more on him, these cannot be generalized. If Liu Xiu had been there before, He even trusted Liu Kuan more than Han Yu, and Liu Kuan and Liu Xiu were distant relatives.
"My lord, if I were usually suspicious, I would be suspicious and would not bring it to my lord because of this. But these are extraordinary times. If the two of them are really spies of the enemy, or to say the least, they are just people from the court. The bribery is a great threat to us, especially after this battle, Zhao Fan will definitely not be reconciled. In addition, with the military order issued in front of the reckless thief, he has no way out at all and will definitely try his best to counterattack. Keep it like this It’s too dangerous to be around suspicious people!”
Han Yu can be said to be sincere. Meeting such a master who misses the past is their luck as subordinates. It depends on themselves and others. Since Liu Xiu can treat these two people like this, he will do the same to himself. But at this critical moment The soft-heartedness made Han Yu feel frustrated and helpless.
"Xiu Qi, you are too suspicious. I know you have good intentions, but without evidence, I will not take action against my subordinates who follow me loyally. This goes against my principles and bottom line. Even now is an extraordinary period, if you don't Don't worry, I'll move Chen Chu to a less important position, so even if it goes as you expected, it won't be a big hindrance, what do you think?"
Liu Xiu couldn't really deal with the man as Han Yu said, and he didn't want to get into trouble with Han Yu because of this matter, so he could only think of a compromise method, which was only to deal with Chen Chu, who had too many doubts, and Liu Xiu. Kuan did not mention it, obviously still not believing that Liu Kuan would do this. After all, Liu Xiu thought it was inappropriate to doubt a subordinate he usually trusted because of such an unquestionable point.
Liu Xiu did not doubt that Han Yu was targeting these two people because of his own selfish interests. Han Yu was different from Yinshi and was not that kind of person. Even if he was really dissatisfied with these two people, he would use his methods openly instead of using such methods underground. Liu Xiu also didn't know that Han Yu's subordinates were still cultivating and comforting him. He just thought that Han Yu was too suspicious.
After Han Yu persuaded Liu Xiu until now, he also knew that it was impossible to persuade Liu Xiu. No matter how much he said, it would be in vain. After all, it was impossible for him to reveal certain things to Liu Xiu. This was his last secret, the trump card to keep his family safe. , it can’t be exposed, so I don’t plan to continue. Han Yu has never been a loyal person, and his loyalty to Liu Xiu has its limits, so the matter of persuading Liu Xiu can only end here. If Liu Xiu suspects that he has ulterior motives, he will be wronged. As for those two Traitor, only he was secretly on guard.
"Since my lord insists on doing this, my subordinates cannot have any objections. However, even if my lord does not take any measures against them, he should still be careful. If it is a confidential matter, try not to let these two people know about it. You will not make a big mistake if you are careful!"
Han Yu's request was not excessive, and it was for the sake of the overall situation. Liu Xiu had no reason to refuse: "Don't worry Xiu Qi, I will do it."
Yin Shi and Liu Kuan came together to discuss something with Liu Xiu. They happened to meet Han Yu coming out of Liu Xiu's tent. Yin Shi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Han Yu with some complexity before entering the tent with Liu Kuan. Liu Kuan saw it, but did not show any emotion on his face, just following Yin Shi.
Liu Xiu was just thinking about the problem of Chen Chu and Liu Kuan when he saw Yin Shi and Liu Kuan come in together. There was a trace of unnaturalness on his face, although it disappeared quickly. However, Yin Shi and Liu Kuan were both careful and observant people. They saw Liu Xiu's reaction in their eyes. Although they could not guess why, Han Yu had just come out of Liu Xiu's tent. Perhaps this had something to do with Han Yu.
Yin Shi's thoughts have always been conspiracy theories. He thought that Han Yu might have said something bad about him in front of Liu Xiu, or took the opportunity to make him look bad, otherwise why did Liu Xiu react like that when he saw them coming in? Yin Shi did not think of Liu Kuan at all, just because Liu Kuan was usually a good person and there was no feud between him and Han Yu.
Liu Kuan thought differently. His identity was "special" and it concerned the safety of his family's lives. He was particularly sensitive to this kind of thing. Considering some abnormalities he had felt before, his eyes narrowed slightly and a certain light flashed in his eyes. Facing Liu Xiu's obscure gaze and thoughtful expression, his face became more frank and loyal.
