After hearing this, everyone's anger immediately disappeared. In the past month or so, everyone has been trying to survive in a desperate situation. Almost every step has been forced by the situation, and there is no long-term plan in mind.
Showing the flag was out of necessity. Taking the initiative to attack Zhezhe City was a desperate attempt to survive. The fight to the death with Ju Chebi Shi in front of the princes was a spur-of-the-moment move without any prior planning. As for who will fill Ju Chebi's shoes in the future
No one even thought about the power vacuum left after Shi disappeared, let alone the means to ensure the loyalty of the newly rising people to the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
"As far as my subordinates know, Juche Bishi got the specific information about the mission from the sergeant sent to Bahanna that day, and then decided to pay a lot of money to bribe the horse thieves to attack the Lord. And in the Lord's Xuanshi City
While outside, there were many princes who secretly sent people to sneak into the city to collude with Juche Bishi." Seeing that everyone finally began to understand his good intentions, Merzud was greatly encouraged and continued to add in a low voice.
.
These are completely facts and no one can deny them. From the analysis of the clues found after entering the city, Wang Xun is convinced that the first person to leak the information about the mission to Juchebishi was Asilanda himself. And while serving as the mission
When he stood still under the city, except for the Cao brothers, the other princes initially thought of hedging their bets. It was by taking advantage of this mentality of the princes that he was able to calmly lay out the final game and make the mission more successful.
The real strength of the troops entered Zhezhe City as quickly as possible and reached the ears of almost every confidant under Juchebishi. It was precisely because he learned that the mission had been bluffing that Juchebishi had no choice but to
He bravely led an army whose morale was extremely low and went out of the city to fight the mission in an attempt to restore the lost prestige, but was defeated.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response from Wang Xun. Merzoud thought for a moment and continued to speak eloquently, "Although the princes from all walks of life are obedient to your orders, no one can guarantee that they will get the entire country."
After Wan Kingdom, what will you think in your heart? As the saying goes, the more strength you have, the more ambition you have. Unless you are stationed here and never leave, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xun interrupted him with a gesture, "You go down and do some work first!" He frowned, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face. "Don't worry about the rest. Let me arrange it for you first.
Let’s talk about it after we’ve taken care of what we have to do!”
"This..., I obey your orders!" Merzoud didn't know what he said wrong, and he felt a little disappointed, but he still smiled and saluted Wang Xun, turned around and left.
A private soldier came forward and led him to the side hall where the staff were handling official business. Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan looked at each other, and said goodbye to Wang Xun one after another, and went to help Melzud plan the release of the prisoners.
After the three people were far away, Yu Wenzhi slowly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Although that guy named Mai is a bad person, his ideas may not be wrong. We can't stay here forever anyway.
Here, no matter which puppet you set up, it actually doesn’t matter in the end. Others still have their own families to some extent, but Ju Chebi Shi has even sent someone to take care of his life-saving capital stored in the desert. In the future, he will
Apart from being honest and obedient, I’m afraid there is no other choice at all!”
Long before the decisive battle, Wang Xun had quietly sent a sentry horse to take a detour to seize the emergency supplies hidden in the desert. Now the soldiers and horses are escorting the stolen baggage back. If
If the weather had not delayed the trip, the seizure could have been delivered to the city within two or three days. Having lost the last bit of his family fortune, Juche Bishi could be said to be in a desperate situation, with no food, no money, and no reinforcements.
It is impossible for a powerful band of horse thieves, let alone find an opportunity to restore the country.
Knowing these situations in his heart, Fang Ziling's opinions are similar to Yu Wenzhi's. Generally speaking, he also thinks that Melzud has given everyone a good idea. "Yes, after this calamity, apart from surrendering to the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly, everyone has
Chebishi has no other choice. If we are willing to forgive him, choose him to come back and be the leader of Dawan. In the future, not only will he not be able to muster the courage to rebel, but even if he is fooled by lard again one day, there are lessons for today.
, his brothers didn’t have the guts to follow either!”
"Yeah!" Wang Xun murmured in a low voice, still unsure of his decision. Back then, he had personally promised to repay the blood debt for Yi and the princess, but now because of the change in the situation, he had to break his promise. No matter how much he thought about it, he felt guilty.
Wei Feng, who was born in Minzhuang, had different ideas from those of Yu Wenzhi and Fang Ziling. Seeing Wang Xun's inner hesitation, he stepped forward and said loudly, "It would be great if you could stay here as a governor for a long time.
There is no need to think about who to choose as the King of Dayuan. I took a quick look at the fields nearby, and they are very fertile. They are also close to water sources. If they are taken care of well, it will not be a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of people!"
"Nonsense!" Wang Xun frowned again and yelled at Wei Feng in a low voice. "The Jiedushi can do what he says he can do? There are only a few Jiedushi in the imperial court now! It's okay to take people out to patrol the city.
Stop messing around here!"
"Well, Nuo!" Wei Feng shrank his neck after being scolded, cupped his hands, and walked out backwards. Zhu Wuyi, Wanqi Yuxiao, Wang Shisan and others originally wanted to speak, but when they saw that Wei Feng was scolded, they also
They all lowered their heads and swallowed all the words back in their stomachs.
Yu Wenzhi shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "In fact, what he said is not completely unreasonable. It is better to hold it in our own hands than to give it to anyone. The position of Dawan Jiedushi is a bit difficult, and the imperial court may not be willing to part with it. But
If we ask Marshal Feng to help us work hard, and we can take care of things ourselves, it shouldn’t be a problem to grant you the title of Governor of Dawan based on our achievements in destroying the city and destroying the country!"
"I want you to go, I have no intention of staying in this barbaric place!" Regarding Yu Wenzhi, Wang Xun couldn't scold him like other brothers. He shook his head and objected with a smile.
Although the position of Governor of Dayuan can sit on one side, manage the army on horseback, and manage the people on horseback, in his mind, it is far inferior to an ordinary governor of a state in the Central Plains. From the perspective of the imperial court, it would not allow a military general to do so.
They stay in the same place for a long time and slowly manage their own sphere of influence.
Based on Wang Xun's current understanding, looking at the Tang Dynasty, except for Fan Yang's army, which was already too powerful to defeat, there was almost no precedent for the term of military governors in other military towns exceeding five years. Five years of wasted time here would not even make a county in the Central Plains.
In Fabi's place, dealing with messy things all day long, it is better to return to Feng Changqing's tent and continue galloping in front of the two armies.
"I..." Yu Wenzhi grinned. "If I had your connections and prestige, I would definitely stay. What's the point of rushing back to the army? As long as Bian Lingcheng doesn't leave, we will have to watch him for a day.
His face!"
"With this credit in hand, I'm afraid Bian Lingcheng won't be able to do whatever he wants to us like before!" When mentioning the reason for his mission that day, Wang Xun couldn't help but shake his head. If Bian Lingcheng hadn't forced him so hard that day,
If so, I'm afraid I will be wasting away in the army this winter. Who would have thought that a choice made out of desperation would actually lead to a path for me in the end.
By now, he no longer hates Bian Lingcheng very much. Instead, he is vaguely grateful to this person deep in his heart. If he were not this person, he would probably always be sheltered under Feng Changqing's wings. He would think of the person behind him first in everything.
If you rely on someone, you will never learn to face difficulties alone.
Seeing that Wang Xun was always unable to make progress, Yu Wenzhi was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Bian Lingcheng can't touch you anymore, what about Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi? If you don't even have the intention to set up your own business, when can you?"
Looking for revenge against them?"
"Okay, even though we are all brothers here, you can't talk nonsense!" The scar in Wang Xun's heart that he didn't want to be touched was revealed again, and he felt a little angry. Ever since he found out that even Feng Changqing was unwilling to provoke Yang Guozhong and others.
After becoming a man, he realized how childish and ridiculous his words of revenge were. No matter how quickly he was promoted, he became Feng Changqing's deputy and the deputy governor of the Anxi Army Protectorate more than ten years later.
At most, it can only make Yang Guozhong, Gao Lishi and others afraid of him. If he wants to take revenge for all the evil deeds they inflicted on him that day, it is still a daydream.
Unless he started a rebellion. Suddenly, a strange thought came to the bottom of his heart, making Wang Xun shudder. He turned to look at Yu Wenzhi, but vaguely saw some expectation in his eyes. "We can reach this point all because of
We have the Tang Dynasty at our back!" He said with a smile, but his voice sounded a little weak, "Right now we only have two thousand brothers, so it would be good if we could scare the princes from making trouble. We don't have time to think about anything else. Besides, we have nothing to worry about right now.
We still don’t know where Che Bishi is hiding. If you have any ideas, you have to capture him first!”
He wasn't sure whether his good friend's repeated attempts to persuade him to compete for the post of governor of Dawan today contained any other hints. Wang Xun didn't dare to think deeply. He found an opportunity to change the subject, and Liao Liao hastily dealt with some messy things.
The sky started to get dark. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the atmosphere inside the meeting hall was getting colder and colder. Finally, Fang Ziling couldn't stand it anymore and was the first to stand up and leave. Wei Feng, Zhu Wuyi and others also
One after another they made excuses to leave. Yu Wenzhi originally planned to chat with Wang Xun a few more words about everyone's future development, but seeing that he was still absent-minded, he stood up and left with a bit of disappointment.
Wang Xun himself felt bored sitting in the empty hall, so he waved his hand, announced that the day's official work was over, and stood up to leave.
After an afternoon, the snow on the ground was already very thick. The soldiers had no time to clean it up, and the entire Dawan Palace looked clean and empty.
Thanks to the heavy snow, the stench of corpses in the air has finally faded away, preventing people from being breathless. Several palace walls that were affected by the war when the city was destroyed were also covered by snowflakes and can no longer be seen.
There are no traces left. On both sides of the long and winding corridor, a few old trees that cannot be named stand alone. They have grown to the thickness of a hug. I don’t know how many years they have stood in the palace, and how many owners they have witnessed in Dawan Kingdom.
, but always maintains its original appearance, neither happy nor sad.
Wang Xun suddenly felt very irritable.
Walking on the road, he suddenly lost his way and was irritated. He was finally safe now. In a short period of time, he would no longer be easily sacrificed as a pawn. And those former enemies would no longer easily cause trouble for him. However, he
I find that I have suddenly lost my life goal, and I don’t know what to do next or how to choose the path.
Revenge, there is basically no hope in this life. There seems to be no point in continuing to pursue fame. If life is to climb up, climb up, pull down those above your head, and trample those who hinder you under your feet. When will this road end?
Is this the end?
Whenever you step down on a batch, you will look up and see a higher batch. There will be no end to stepping on and crawling around.
Thinking about his heavy thoughts, he took bigger and bigger steps. Without paying attention, he had already left several guards behind. Suddenly, a snow shadow flashed out from behind the old tree beside the corridor, and he ran forward.
After a few steps, she jumped straight into his chest.
Even if Wang Xun didn't take any precautions, he would not pounce easily. He instinctively moved his body to the side, and then swept his left leg across. With a "plop" sound, the person who came was swept away and fell on the snow.
It rolled into a white-haired lion.
"Catch the assassin!" Wan Qi Yu Xie, Shi San and others shouted and rushed forward. With all their hands and feet, they pinned down the assassin firmly. Before they could take out the rope, another childish cry sounded in the snow.
, "Don't, don't fight, it's me. I'm not an assassin. Not an assassin!"
"Is that you?" Wang Xun heard the voice sounded familiar and ordered someone to pick up a lantern and take a closer look. What caught his eye was a green face.
Everyone recognizes this kid. He had negotiated the surrender with the Tang army for his master Mu Yangren. Later, Juchebishi turned his back and sent him out to declare a war on everyone. After the city was broken, the soldiers of Dongcao Kingdom were at the enemy.
He was found dying on a pillar of the building. Unable to figure out his specific identity, he was handed over to the Tang army along with his master's body.
Thinking that the child knew that he would die after returning to the city and would rather share the joys and sorrows with his master, Wang Xun invited a doctor to treat his injuries and specially set aside a room in the palace for him to rest. Unexpectedly, the child
As soon as the guy was able to get off the ground, he ran out recklessly.
Seeing Liu Guan's bruised nose and swollen face, Wang Xun burst out laughing. He waved his hand, ordered someone to let him go, and asked in a pleasant tone, "Little Liu Guan'er, why are you here!"
"I, I wanted to see you, but they refused to report it for me!" Liu Guan wiped the blood on his nose and began to complain. "So, I hid on the road where you might pass, blocking,
Blocking you!"
"Are you looking for me?" After hearing this, Wang Xun felt even more strange, "Are you looking for me for something? Or is there anything you need my help with?"
"Yes, Master, Master asked me to bring you a message!" He wiped a few more words on his face, and Xiao Liuguan cried intermittently, "Master, before Master died, he asked me to tell you
Said. He said, he said that those who were abandoned by General Gao were more than just a handful of sand and three or two hundred people. They were all divided up as slaves by the kings and city lords. If, if it is possible, General, please
Your Excellency, show mercy and rescue them all and take them back to the Central Plains. Even if they die after returning, don't let them become a bunch of lonely ghosts again!"
