"This, this...how lucky is the dog? He can become a hero in the world!"
Wang Sengbian was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's request, but after a while, he immediately replied with a face of surprise: "There are indeed a few idiots in the household, and they may not have any talent."
, but with a pure nature, diligence and studiousness, if he is taught and appointed by the general, he will be loyal to you wholeheartedly!"
Wang Sengbian was really surprised that things had developed to this point. In addition to being full of surprise, he was also filled with uncontrollable surprise. It was not that he had the intention to defect to the Northern Dynasty, but that Li Tai was interested in
The appreciation and forgiveness he showed were like a ray of bright sunshine in a gray sky to him personally, which greatly improved his confused and depressed mood.
Although Wang Sengbian was born in the Northern Dynasty, he followed his father to Nantou when he was a boy, and then served as a subordinate official of the royal family in eastern Hunan for decades. In terms of time alone, the friendship between master and servant is extremely deep.
However, King Xiangdong was a man with a mean character and a tendency to be suspicious. Very few people could be trusted by him sincerely. Wang Sengbian had been in the palace for many years, and if his words or deeds were slightly off-kilter, he would still inevitably be severely reprimanded and punished.
.
After many years of work, if Wang Sengbian has become accustomed to some of the harsh behaviors of the King of Xiangdong, then what really goes beyond his principles of life is that after the Hou Jing Rebellion, the King of Xiangdong was not eager to end the chaos but was keen on starting a civil war.
, the practice of eradicating dissidents.
Of course, there is no problem with this approach from the perspective of the King of Eastern Hunan. Xiao Yu, the King of Hedong, had his own way of killing himself. Wang Sengbian didn’t feel much regret for his death, but he didn’t want to be the one who killed him in the civil war.
The executioner of the clan, especially the king of Xiangdong, made Wang Sengbian not only tarnished in his reputation, but also constantly in political danger.
The King of Xiangdong loves fame. On the surface, he is courteous to the virtuous and corporal, but he is actually jealous of talents and vicious. Now he needs to rely on Wang Sengbian to eradicate dissidents in the clan. In the coming year, it is very likely that the blame will be placed entirely on Wang Sengbian.
to maintain their good reputation.
It doesn't even take a few years, but just for now, the King of Eastern Hunan is already doing this. In order to respond to the Western Wei Dynasty's accountability and calm the other party's anger, he directly forced Wang Sengbian to come to Mianbei to plead guilty.
As far as Wang Sengbian knew, Jiangling had not made any other personnel arrangements except for their group. In other words, after their group entered Mianbei, they could not help but decide whether to live or die.
Listen to the other person's mood.
Although Wang Sengbian had just led his troops to win a victory, conquered Changsha and captured Xiangzhou, he was still mercilessly pushed out by the King of Eastern Hunan to take the blame.
Although King Xiangdong was mean and ungrateful, Wang Sengbian could only bear it silently. He spent half of his life in the palace of Xiangdong Palace. It sounds like he was a general of the palace, but in fact he was just a servant of King Xiangdong. He left Hunan.
In the East Prince's Mansion, he does not have the prestige or strength to be able to stand alone. Instead, he has the reputation of being an old thief who has betrayed his master and has been hit by obstacles everywhere.
Li Tai's appreciation and praise have given Wang Sengbian great encouragement. Even he himself did not dare to claim that he was the one who rose to the occasion and could put down the rebels, and the conditions he proposed were even more difficult for him.
Wang Seng argued for a new choice.
Naturally, Wang Sengbian had no intention of betraying the King of Xiangdong. Even if he did not talk about his loyalty to the King of Xiangdong and the Liang State, the Jing Mansion now seemed to be the largest town in the Liang State and the only one with hope and the ability to quell Hou Jing's rebellion.
Wang Sengbian has been the King of Xiangdong for decades and can now be regarded as the top general in the palace. Naturally, he is reluctant to give up such a great achievement.
However, the suspicion of King Xiangdong and the conflicts between the clans, as well as the still aggressive military strength of Hou Jing's rebels, made Wang Sengbian dare not be too optimistic about this. His achievements were all involved, but he
I don't want my wife, children, and children to be trapped in this. If I have a choice, I certainly hope that my son and son will have other choices.
Nowadays, Li Tai is already a world-famous general of the Western Dynasty. Wang Sengbian has been carefully observing the Jingzhou General Mansion under his control and is also impressed by the prosperous development. If the children of the household can be entrusted here, then what will happen?
It can definitely be called a good place.
It’s just that since the last time he angered the King of Xiangdong because he refused to go to Xiangzhou immediately, and was even stabbed by the furious King of Xiangdong with a sword, he relied on his mother to cry for mercy, and the war in Xiangzhou was unfavorable.
He was also entrusted with the military by the King of Xiangdong, but from then on, his family was controlled by the King of Xiangdong as hostages. Previously, he wanted his eldest son, who had grown up, to join the army, but the King of Xiangdong refused, and he was given an official position and stayed in the palace.
.
Wang Sengbian was unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he hurriedly said: "Sengbian has the ambition to die. Since he has this intention, he is subject to the sanctions of General Li. Fortunately, General Li has shown mercy and forgives him without any punishment.
, but my lord, King Xiao, is deeply concerned about the past, and I am afraid that it is still difficult to let go. I beg the general to give you a piece of paper to confess the misunderstanding and renew the alliance. But if such a good wish can be achieved, why should Seng Bian regret his son?
!”
Of course Li Tai could hear the implication of Wang Sengbian's words. It was obvious that Wang Sengbian's family had lost their freedom. If he didn't speak to the one-eyed dragon, it would mean that Wang Sengbian wanted to send his son here.
Can't do it either.
Under such internal and external troubles, it is really eye-opening that the one-eyed dragon can still have such a bad relationship with his generals.
After pondering for a while, he nodded again and said: "Since the old feud has been settled, of course it needs to be settled in a letter. Wang Lingjun donated a son to help the two sides resolve the war. Naturally, it must be recorded in the book. This loyalty and good will cannot be buried.
middle!"
He had no intention of recruiting Wang Sengbian, and he had no intention of resisting Wang Sengbian being treated like this by the one-eyed dragon. He probably was just asking for trouble even if he recruited him.
However, if one of Wang Sengbian's sons is brought under his sect, it will leave a channel for future dialogue and negotiation between the two parties. Although Wang Sengbian is not of much value at the moment, after Hou Jingzhi's rebellion is settled, his importance will be
Sex is highlighted.
Especially if we capture Jiangling in the coming year, because our influence may not be as quick as in history before all the reinforcements arrive, it will be very important to be able to communicate with Wang Sengbian.
At that time, you can send his son to torture Wang Sengbian: Why are you in such a hurry to return to Jiangling? Do you want the one-eyed dragon to poke a few more bloody holes in your body? Just squat in Jiankang and wait to support Shaojun.
, isn’t it good to form a Bafu?
Wang Sengbian naturally did not know that in the future, he could become a powerful person who could influence the general trend of the world with a single thought. After hearing Li Tai's statement, he was overjoyed and felt sincere gratitude to Li Tai in his heart.
He thanked her again and again, wishing he could return to Jiangling now to arrange for his son to be taken into custody in Mianbei.
But Li Tai hasn't finished his work here yet, so he naturally can't let them go. The matter of Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong, has been settled for the time being.
After all, the King of Eastern Hunan was willing to send his generals to admit his mistake, and his attitude was extremely low. If Li Tai continued to refuse, then the next development of the situation would inevitably involve military intervention. But now he launched an attack on Jiangling
The war is obviously not a good time, so it's okay if you can live with it in terms of face.
But apart from this incident, there is another incident, which is Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling who took over Jiangxia.
"The King of Shaoling of your country recently marched to Jiangxia and sent a letter to our court with the intention of plotting against me in the east of Han Dynasty. When you return to town, will you ask the King of Xiangdong for me if he knows about this? I don't want the two of us to regenerate because of this.
There is some misunderstanding, so I will bear with you for the time being. If the King of Eastern Hunan cannot control him, I will raise my troops and go south to reprimand King Shaoling if he thinks I am weak and can be bullied?"
Li Tai looked at the two envoys from Jiangling and said in a deep voice: "I know that the Liang family has a prosperous branch, but the ownership of Eastern Han Dynasty has long been agreed with the King of Xiangdong. If people still come frequently to ask about the lost land, where will the loyalty of the King of Xiangdong remain? I
Although he is not a warlike person, anyone who dares to come and provoke will be severely beaten! Breaking trust with others will bring disaster to oneself. The king should self-examine. This kind of incident should never happen again. The king cannot stop it. I will break it myself.
!”
When the two Jiangling envoys heard Li Tai's aggressive tone, they became nervous. They hurriedly lowered their heads and defended themselves: "General Li, please be patient. Our king cannot know about Shaoling's entry into Yingzhou beforehand."
. Now we are also communicating and negotiating with each other, but King Shaoling relies on his long teeth and refuses to obey the orders of Jing Mansion. My king is also in a dilemma? "
"The king of eastern Hunan dominates Zhenjiang, which was decided during the lifetime of the late king of your country. Now that the thieves are in chaos in the country, it is difficult for the king to carry out his orders. Those who have wisdom and courage should act bravely. I also have the name of King Shaoling.
I heard that the governor-general and his troops were unable to quell the chaos, and that they were called clan traitors and were actually traitors to the country. The king of Xiangdong, sitting in Jiangling with a brave army, was unable to control it?"
After Li Tai heard this, he sneered, and then said: "If Jiangling's armored soldiers are difficult to defeat, I can send troops to assist in the battle. There are various human affairs in the middle reaches of the river. I am responsible for the people to discuss and deal with them. How can I allow outsiders to come in and disrupt the situation?"
!”
Everyone in Jiangling was a little dumbfounded when they heard this. Before, you were righteously accusing our king of killing his nephew. Why are you now encouraging the king to murder his brothers? What's more, why did you Western Qiang bandits become like us?
One of our own?
Although these people had many thoughts and complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to reason with Li Tai. They could only nod their heads and expressed that they would convey their thoughts to the king after returning and give him a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.
Li Tai doesn't think his behavior is double-standard. Xiao Yu is my dear relative and friend, and Xiao Lun is a thorn in his feet. How can it be the same? What's more, everything comes once again and becomes familiar twice. Expelling Lao Liu is the right thing to do.
