Wang Xun looked at Tao Qian motionless. The man opposite him was equally calm. His words were as fierce as a volcano erupting. However, the person who spoke was as still as a mountain. It was not even possible to see that he was angry at all. This thirty-year-old man was very calm.
The thin, dark scholar in front of him looked at him motionlessly, his eyes sharp and cold.
Wang Xun sighed softly: "It was the same way when your Mr. Jingzhou came to see Mr. Prime Minister Xian like this. He turned against the guest and took the lead. That's why your Tao family, our organization, and our King Langya came together.
After hundreds of years of cooperation, I never expected that this scene would happen again today."
Tao Qian said coldly: "But a hundred years have passed. The Tao family hid in the mountains and forests and was almost forgotten by the world. However, the Langya Wang family has become the top wealthy family in the world, and the mafia is in charge of the world's power and controls the Jin Dynasty.
Is it fair that the country's fortunes have lasted for hundreds of years? The former prime minister was just a military adviser to a branch prince. If our Tao family hadn't cooperated with your Wang family ancestors to play this trick of separatist rule in Jingyang and placing bets on both sides of the civil war, how would you have done it?
How did you get to where you are today?"
Wang Xun curled up his lips: "So we also gave you the entire Jingzhou. You must know that you, Tao, are from the Xi tribe of Jingman. You are not even Han. Your ancestors were only county officials when they became officials. Such a reward is not generous.
Is that so? We, the Wang family, have risen from a low-level noble family to the position of prime minister, while you have gone from being barbarians to becoming high-ranking officials of Fang Town and the lords of Jingzhou. Both our Black Hand Qiankun and the Wang family have a clear conscience towards your Tao family."
Tao Qian gritted his teeth: "What about Huan Wen? Your Wang family wants to seize power and play this hedging trick. Wang Dun raises troops and Director Wang is in power. No matter which side wins, your Wang family's power will be guaranteed. But our Tao family
The family is in bad luck."
Wang Xun sneered: "Who told you to play this trick? Tao Kan raised troops to serve the king and stood on the side of the court, but Tao Wuzi followed Su Jun's rebels and killed Huan Yi. Our mafia did secretly order you Tao.
Family, don’t let Huan Yi perform military exploits, but I didn’t ask you to kill him.”
Tao Qian said bitterly: "The war is fierce and dangerous. Most of my uncle's subordinates are mountain people who have been oppressed by Jin Dynasty officials for a long time. Once the Jin Dynasty officials are captured, there is no reason to let them go. My uncle originally let them go."
Huan Yi had a way to escape, but he still refused to leave. When he was captured on the battlefield, he was killed by the sergeant. Can we blame us?"
Wang Xun sighed: "Later, the organization also tried its best to help you, and even obtained a pardon order for Tao Wuzi, and ordered that those who had blood debts in the war should not be held accountable. Huan Wen avenged his father, and he also used his group of guards.
Power is not our Black Hand Qiankun’s decision.”
Tao Qian's eyes flashed coldly: "Isn't it your mafia who asked Huan Wen to come to Jingzhou? If the other guards didn't agree at the time, how could he come as one of the guards?"
Wang Xun shook his head: "Several other guards back then were also deceived by Huan Wen. He also betrayed us. This was the biggest mistake of our organization in the hundreds of years since its establishment. It has caused disaster to this day. Today I am looking for you, isn't it?
In order to solve this mistake, Yuan Ming, if it weren’t for the secret protection of our organization, your Tao family would have been wiped out by Huan Wen long ago, so how would there be any possibility of making a comeback today?”
Tao Qian sneered and said: "Isn't this always the way of checks and balances in your organization? First let Huan Wen kill the clan uncle and take Jingzhou, and then leave a few descendants of the Tao family. In the future, there will be a back-up to contain Huan Wen. However, the Huan family
For many years, I have been more careful with the Tao family than with you and the barbarians. If Huan Xuan hadn't been eager to seize power this time, I wouldn't have had a chance to stand up. Humph, he thought that our Tao family would be like his Huan family, and the future generations would be the same.
Can I forget the hatred of my ancestors by giving my nephew some official titles?"
Wang Xun smiled slightly: "Of course he will not forget that on the surface he asked you to join the army, but in fact he was watching you and guarding you, and would not really let you do whatever you want. Otherwise, why would you come to me? Yuan
Ming, we are all smart people. There is no need to mention the grudges of the previous generation. I am willing to see you like this. I am willing to cooperate and give you what you want. However, this has nothing to do with compensation. It is purely about moving forward.
Look, for future cooperation."
Tao Qian curled up his lips: "If that's the case, our Tao family has tricked you before, and the old accounts are unclear. Now we are still required to continue to cooperate. Where is the basis of trust?"
Wang Xun said calmly: "The basis of trust comes from common interests, or in other words, common enemies. In the past, the cooperation between Mr. Jingzhou and Mr. Prime Minister was because the world was in chaos and the Jin Dynasty was first established. This power required cooperation. Later,
The civil war in Jingyang was to further evade the imperial power. Both times they cooperated very well. However, Huan Wen's betrayal was something that no one expected. He did not expect that he could use the imperial power to take Jingzhou by himself.
Your Tao family was forced to hide in the mountains and forests for decades, and our mafia was also tricked by him and almost wiped out by him. This is our common loss, and the senior guards in our organization also paid the price, so
There are no old scores to speak of, everyone is the same."
Tao Qian laughed: "Could it be that Xi Chao, you, and Xie An joined Huan Wen's army to join the army just to take back Jingzhou? But why don't you contact our Tao family?"
Wang Xun sighed: "Huan Wen monitors us very strictly, no worse than he monitors you. How dare we contact you rashly under such circumstances? Originally, when Huan Wen led troops to Beijing and wanted to usurp the throne, we wanted to contact you.
He set fire to Huan Wen's rear, but later Xie An vetoed it, saying that the main battlefield for the decisive victory was in Jiankang and not in Jingzhou. Huan Wen would never withdraw because of the chaos in Jingzhou. Facts have proved that he was right."
Tao Qian curled up his lips: "This is in line with Xie An's character. Just like the Battle of Feishui, he abandoned Jingzhou and focused on the battlefield of Shouchun. In the end, Xie An hacked Huan Wen from behind, which can be regarded as a defense for our Tao family.
I have avenged a great revenge. For this reason, I can ignore the past grudges for the time being. However, Mr. Baihu, do you think our current cooperation has any common interests and common enemies? Huan Xuan is mine.
The enemy is not yours for the time being, and Jingzhou is my interest, not yours, so do we still need to cooperate?"
Wang Xun laughed: "If you don't seek cooperation, Yuan Ming, why would you come to Jiankang? If you don't want to bring us together to deal with Huan Xuan, why are you willing to come to see me? To be honest, our Black Hand Qiankun is now
The primary enemy is the Celestial Master Dao of Wu, and Huan Xuan cannot be taken care of for the time being, so I need you to contain him and not allow Huan Xuan to advance eastward with his troops at this time. In addition, as a descendant of the Wang family, I personally have another request from you.
I just hope that you can help me build an army of my own. The ferocity of the barbarians in Jingxiangdong is still fresh in the memory of our Wang family!"
