When Wei Changtian arrived at the General Military Mansion, Xu Qingwan and three others were already waiting at the door. It was obvious that Yuan'er had come to report a message.
The three girls looked the same after not seeing him for more than half a month, but their first words after seeing him were different.
Liang Qin: "Brother Changtian, why don't you see Miss You?"
Yangliu Shi: "Master, is this trip going well? Has everything been settled?"
Xu Qingwan: "Changtian, are you all okay?"
"fine......"
After answering the three women one by one, Wei Changtian turned his attention to Liang Qin and asked with a smile:
"What? I heard that you also want to go to Wonju?"
"Um!"
Liang Qin was a little excited: "Yes! Brother Changtian, you support me, right?"
"Do I support waiting until later..."
Looking at Xu Qingwan and Yang Liushi who were looking sad, Wei Changtian asked again: "Where's Uncle Liang?"
"My father is discussing matters with some lieutenants."
Liang Qin explained: "We will leave for Yuanzhou the day after tomorrow."
"Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and nodded.
"I have something to discuss with Uncle Liang... Wan'er, Liu Shi, you should go back first."
"good."
Xu Qingwan and Yang Liushi looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but they endured it for the time being.
The two women quickly turned around and left, while Wei Changtian and Liang Qin walked through the General Military Mansion and walked to Liang Zhen's study.
The door was closed, and there were several soldiers in green armor standing outside.
"Miss, Mr. Wei, the Commander-in-Chief is discussing matters in the house."
"Well, could you please go in and let me know that I'm back?"
Wei Changtian gave an order and looked up at the night sky while waiting for the soldiers to enter the room to report.
Dark clouds are gathering and heavy rain is coming.
Suddenly, he asked casually:
"Qin'er, why do you have to go to Yuanzhou?"
"Huh? As a cultivator, you naturally have to protect your home and country and drive away foreign enemies."
"Then do you know that the court and I are actually not at odds with each other?"
"Dad said something before..."
Liang Qin looked at Wei Changtian seriously: "Brother Changtian, I think these are two different things."
"Two different things?"
Wei Changtian looked back and asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
"Well... I went to Yuanzhou with my father this time to guard the territory of Daning and protect the people of Daning, not for the imperial court or the emperor."
Liang Qin explained seriously: "If there is a fight between the imperial court and the Wei family in the future, my father and I will definitely stand by you, Brother Changtian."
"Hahaha, you guys can carry it clearly."
Wei Changtian laughed twice and said no more.
In the eyes of the common people in such a feudal society, the Emperor is the Supreme Being, the Son of Heaven, and the true "spokesperson" for the Way of Heaven.
Therefore, unless they are forced to the point like the Xu family, few people will openly oppose the royal family.
This is also the reason why most rebellions in ancient times in previous lives used the excuse of "clearing the emperor's side".
The purpose is to not directly conflict with the royal family in name at least.
Based on this, Wei Changtian can actually understand the thoughts of Liang Zhen and Liang Qin.
The country was in trouble, the emperor issued an edict, and they could not refuse Ning Yongnian's order to mobilize troops to reinforce Yuanzhou.
And Liang Qin also said that they were only doing it for the territory and people of Daning.
but......
Daning, Daning.
After all, my surname is still Ning.
...
In the study room.
Several lieutenants of the Shuzhou Army had already resigned. Although Liang Zhen still looked bold and forthright, it was difficult to hide the fatigue between his brows.
"Hahaha, Changtian, when did you come back?"
"Did your trip to Jizhou go smoothly this time?"
Liang Zhen accidentally let something slip, and the key point in his words was immediately captured by Liang Qin.
"Brother Changtian! Did you go to Jizhou before?!"
"Ahem, yes."
Wei Changtian coughed dryly and skipped this topic.
"Uncle Liang, I just came back at noon, and then I heard the news that the imperial court was going to increase its troops in Yuanzhou."
"I just heard from Qin'er that you are going to leave the day after tomorrow. Do you think the affairs have been arranged?"
"Well, it's almost done."
Liang Zhen rubbed his forehead and said casually: "Time is a bit tight, but the war in Yuanzhou cannot wait, so we can only keep everything simple."
"Uncle Liang, how many people from the Shuzhou Army will be there this time?"
Wei Changtian got straight to the point and asked: "I heard before that Dafeng only had one hundred thousand vanguards. I wonder if this number is true?"
"Haha, Changtian, you are quite well-informed."
Liang Zhen replied with a smile: "It is true that the Dafeng vanguard only has 100,000 troops, but once the war breaks out, more troops will definitely be added."
"As for the Shuzhou Army... there will be 30,000 soldiers this time."
Thirty thousand.
Compared with other border states, the number of troops stationed in Shuzhou is not large, but there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people.
But this time, they only prepared to reinforce Yuanzhou with 30,000 troops, not even half of it. This undoubtedly shows that Liang Zhen also intends to retain his strength.
"..."
"Uncle Liang, now that the matter is over, I won't hide it. I won't say anything else."
After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian simply stated clearly: "If nothing happens, the Liu family will be labeled as rebels within five days."
"And as long as the Liu family is destroyed, then only my Wei family will be the only one left in the Liu, Wei, and Xu clans."
"Once the situation of three pillars of confrontation and mutual restraint is broken, sooner or later the imperial court will fall out with my Wei family."
"Of course, Ning Yongnian is busy dealing with Dafeng right now, so he will definitely not come out openly for the time being."
"But it is very possible to make some small moves secretly..."
"..."
The doors and windows of the study were closed tightly, the cold wind was blowing outside, and raindrops were already falling.
Liang Qin sat aside and looked at the serious-looking Wei Changtian, his mouth opening wider and wider involuntarily.
She didn't know about these secret things before. She only knew that Wei Changtian was busy all day long, but she didn't know what he was busy with.
And now when I hear it...
It turns out that at some point, Brother Changtian was able to influence the life and death of a huge family like the Liu family!
Even when referring to the Emperor, he does not shy away from calling him by his real name!
This this......
Liang Qin suddenly felt that Wei Changtian looked like a chess player who used the world as his chessboard. He was surprised and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. His admiration for the latter also increased from "good swordsmanship and handsome appearance" to "talented and broad-minded, capable of blaming opponents."
"Qiu" level.
However, Liang Zhen didn't have time to think about all this. The more he listened, the deeper his frown deepened.
"Changtian, you mean...the emperor will target our Shuzhou Army?"
"Uncle Liang, this is just my guess."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "After all, the Liang and Wei families are too close. If Ning Yongnian is not sure, he will take the opportunity to lay out some conspiracy."
"So you must be more careful this time."
"......okay, I get it."
Liang Zhen took a deep breath, then suddenly stood up and walked to a bookshelf against the wall. After some fiddling with it, he took out a small wooden box from the hidden compartment.
"Changtian, please keep this thing."
"This is......"
Wei Changtian opened the wooden box and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the golden Fuhu inside.
"Military Talisman?"
"Yes, it is indeed the military talisman of the Shuzhou Army."
Liang Zhen nodded: "Changtian, I originally planned to give this military talisman to the deputy general who stayed in Shuzhou."
"But I was a little worried after hearing what you said just now, so I might as well leave it to you directly. It's always safer."
"Uh... ok, ok."
Wei Changtian didn't know much about the functions of ancient military talismans. He touched his nose and asked, "But what is the use of this thing? To mobilize the army?"
"Um."
Liang Zhen's expression was a little serious.
"As long as you hold this soldier talisman, you can mobilize all the troops left in Shuzhou at will."
"All? How many?"
"fifty thousand."
