No matter what the answer is, it is obvious that at this time and place, he cannot obtain any accurate information related to Feng Changqing! Zhang Su, the envoy of the field, may not have the ability to deal with the Huihe people and the major tribes near Shule, but with his strength
With rich officialdom experience, he brought together the civil and military officials who stayed in Anxi and kneaded them into an iron plate. If Wang Xun wanted to open a gap in the iron plate, it would take at least several months to half a year. Unless Wang Xun really used force
.
Directly use his troops and horses to take over Shule City and force Zhang Su and others to tell the truth. What is the difference between that and rebellion? Besides force, what Wang Xun lacks most now is time. Aunt Yun, Bai
Both Yuzhi and Ziluo are in Chang'an City. Every extra day he is delayed on the road, the women will bear the risk of being kidnapped by the rebels. Including the court's treatment of Feng Changqing, the arrival of the army from the Dawan Governor's Palace
The later it is in Chang'an, the smaller the impact on the results will be.
Thinking of this, Wang Xun had no choice but to smile helplessly, and raised his wine cup to everyone, "I didn't expect that the situation has reached this point! Now, Wang wishes he could grow wings under his ribs and fly to Tongguan immediately! Like this!
Well, Wang will have a day off tomorrow and set off early the day after tomorrow. When the Song soldiers and horses arrive, let him continue to drive slowly behind with the army. Regarding the supplies along the way, I will leave it to you. Wang will take the first step.
, even if we arrive at Tongguan alone, we can kill a few thieves early and repay His Majesty's kindness!"
"It should be so!" Zhang Su, the field envoy, wished that Wang Xun would get out immediately. He immediately raised his wine cup and responded loudly, "The interview made you feel at ease and go on your way. I guarantee that there will be no problems with the army's food and grass supplies!"
"Right now, the situation over at Tongguan should be that there are more soldiers than generals. There is a shortage of veteran generals like Ming Yun who are both wise and brave!" Cen Shen didn't want Wang Xun to stay and wade through the muddy waters of the Anxi Army. He smiled and promised in a low voice.
, "You can go with peace of mind, Cen will guarantee with his life that there will never be any problems in what happens next!"
"Then please, Brother Cen!" It was rare for Cen Shen to show some sense of responsibility. Wang Xun raised the wine cup to him and drank the wine in one gulp.
The expression on Cen Shen's face suddenly became solemn. He stood up slowly, held the wine cup to his lips with both hands, "I dare not say that I am tired. Cen is just doing his duty! If he can't do it by then, he will lead the army himself."
We will never let Ming Yun find the head!"
After that, he drained all the wine in the wine cup. He showed the bottom of the wine cup to everyone, knelt down straight and sat back down.
"Excellent!" General Xuanwei Feng Zhi, Zhongwu General Wu Xian and other generals cheered loudly. They raised their lamps one after another and assured Wang Xun, "If the interview can be of use to me, I can just say a word. I will definitely do my best.
!”
"Yes, the interview makes you feel free to kill the thief. The way out is left to us old guys!"
"We old arms and legs can't fight the rebels desperately. We can help you collect military rations and arrange supplies, and we can do it. Don't worry, we are here in Shule!"
In the blink of an eye, the originally stiff atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became intense. Seeing this, Wang Xun had to join the others for a few more drinks. Then everyone respected each other, held each other's hands, and people in sedan chairs carried people and drank one after another.
In the past, the host and guest ended up happily parting ways.
When they returned to the temporary residence arranged by Zhang Su for everyone, it was already late at night. Regardless of his exhaustion, Wang Xun ordered his personal guards to summon his close generals together and whispered: "I'm afraid the situation is more critical than we expected.
.For some things, it is best for everyone to be prepared in advance. Ziling, you send someone overnight to give General Song an order to follow him at full speed. After arriving at Shule City, immediately find the garrison envoy Zhang Su to cash in the supplies, food, grass, and baggage as much as possible.
Bring enough and take away as much as you can. If necessary, you can take extraordinary measures. I estimate that after this time, we can no longer count on the Anxi Protectorate."
"General Sha, you immediately send someone back to Dawan to deliver a message to General Huang, telling them not to place any hope on Anxi for a long time. All troubles need to be solved by themselves. If they really can't sustain it, give up.
Zhezhe City, bring all the soldiers and horses to Juzhanti. Take advantage of Juzhanti's geographical advantage near Yaochashui, and strive to reserve a foothold for the Tang Dynasty outside Shacongling! Qi Heng, please bring some gifts.
Go down to the Anxi Army Camp and see if there are any old brothers from our Baima Fort inside, if so..."
"No!" "No!" During the day, the generals already felt that something was not right around them. They all clasped their fists and accepted the order, responding solemnly.
"Wan Qi, you go find Cheng Ji's branch in Shule tonight, and use them to find out all the news about the Central Plains and Feng Shuai. No matter whether the rumors are true or false, bring them all to me." Send them to several close generals.
After arranging the task, Wang Xun turned his attention to Wanqi Yuxie and several swordsmen and guards. "Old Chu, go and see Lao Qi's family. By the way, look for the brothers who were escorts in the past. They have a wide range of activities.
His eyes and ears are also the most brilliant!"
"Promise!" "Promise!" Wanqi Yuxie and Chu Duyan also accepted the order, turned around and went out to perform the task. Watching everyone leave, Wang Xun turned his head and focused his last attention on the person who had been silent.
Yu Wenzhi's face. "Go on, I know you have something to say to me. Stop holding it in. If you hold it in any longer, smoke will come out of your forehead!"
"Second brother!" Before Yuwen could speak, his eyes turned red, "Impossible. It's impossible for them not to know any information about Feng Shuai. That guy Zhang Sun is obviously lying. That guy Cen Shen is also helping.
I’m fooling you! That guy was probably bribed, otherwise it’s impossible that all the people who are familiar with us happened to be away, and he was the only one left in the entire Anxi Army!"
"I know that. I've noticed that Cen Shen seems like a different person. He didn't speak so hesitantly before." Wang Xun knew that in Yu Wenzhi's mind, Feng Changqing was undoubtedly equivalent to another father, so he nodded and tried to use a gentle tone.
To resolve the anxiety in Yu Wenzhi's heart. "Don't be too anxious. Zhang Su can't replace everyone. We were not the only ones who followed Marshal Feng from Baima Castle to Anxi back then. Besides, Mr. Cheng, the shopkeeper
Their business goes directly to Chang'an, so it is impossible that they don't have any useful information for us. There are also swordsmen, they have contacts with all kinds of religions, and they have the best eyes and ears. We can always find some clues by combining the information from several parties!"
"What will happen after we find it?" Yu Wenzhi was so anxious that he rubbed his hands and stamped his feet, wishing he could find someone to beat him up immediately to vent his anxiety, "What if the court has already killed Commander Feng? Can you still rebel? What if?
Tongguan has been conquered. Do you want to take these ten thousand of us to die, or do you want to return to Dawan?"
"Nonsense! Don't keep saying nonsense!" Wang Xun's heart tightened, and his tone of voice immediately became serious, "You are already the deputy governor, why are you still so ignorant of your words?! How could the imperial court kill Marshal Feng?
Feng Shuai's old boss Gao Xianzhi is still there, as are Zhou Laohu, Li Yuanqin, and Duan Xiushi. The court must take their attitudes into account no matter what! Besides, our Anxi Army is one of the two main forces resisting Anlu Mountain at this juncture.
If Marshal Feng is killed, won't the court be afraid that the brothers will give up their jobs? Only fools would dig their own graves!"
"This..." Yu Wenzhi was stunned by the question, rubbed his eyes, lowered his head and was speechless.
Wang Xun's few words were on point, and he couldn't help but be dissatisfied. Although Feng Changqing had not been in charge of the Anxi Army for a long time, he was highly supported by the soldiers. His prestige in the army was no less than that of his former coach Gao Xianzhi.
Feng Changqing himself had a fatal friendship with Gao Xianzhi. The imperial court was angry with him because of the unfavorable war, and the deprivation of his official position and title was considered "reasonable and well-founded". No one could excuse Feng Changqing. But he wanted Feng Changqing.
If I want to clear my life, I'm afraid I have to ask the brothers in the Anxi Army if they agree.
"You are too concerned about Marshal Feng's safety. Care will lead to chaos, so you think the worst about everything!" Seeing Yu Wenzhi's pitiful appearance, Wang Xun couldn't help but comfort him. "I didn't arrange any errands for you tonight.
I want you to be quiet. Go to sleep and stop being suspicious. It's still a long way from Chang'an. Even if we want to complain about Feng Shuai, we can't do it here. Ah!"
"Yeah!" Yu Wenzhi nodded, turned around and walked out obediently. He took one foot out of the door, but suddenly turned his body back, twisting in mid-air like a poplar tree in the wind, "Second brother,
You haven’t answered my question yet?”
"Which sentence?" Wang Xun's heart twitched again and he asked with a smile.
"If, if the imperial court really murders Commander Feng, what will you do?" Yu Wenzhi's face darkened instantly, and then started to turn red. "Will you avenge Commander Feng? Second brother!"
"Nonsense!" Wang Xun raised his leg and gave Yu Wenzhi a hard kick, "Isn't this nonsense? If someone really harmed Commander Feng, I would have to kill him and bury him to Commander Feng even if I risked my life.
.Go to bed and stop thinking. Do you want me to swear to you? Well, God is above me. I, Wang Xun and Wang Mingyun, swear to God..."
"That's not necessary!" Yu Wenzhi immediately smiled and rubbed his butt while stopping him, "Second brother, you don't have to swear, I believe you can do it. I'm leaving, and you should go to bed early! If Wan Qi Yu Xie and the others find out,
No matter how late you come back, don’t forget to send someone to wake me up!"
"Get out!" Wang Xun cursed again, smiled and closed the door, shutting out Yu Wenzhi and several guards on duty. Facing the splendid sleeping tent, he suddenly felt dizzy.
His body softened, his back pressed against the door, and he slowly squatted down.
"If, if the imperial court really murders Commander Feng, what will you do?" Yu Wenzhi's words echoed in the empty room, like a wild beast roaring. "Will you avenge Commander Feng, second brother?" "Will...,
