Chapter 147 Tang Yin sent 500 Fengjun to escort Shao Jun and Cai Gui to Fengyang City. On the other side, he arranged for Lotte and Ai Jia to let Tianyan and Diwang's spies in Zhenjiang spread rumors and lie.
It was said that Shao Yu had secretly turned against the enemy and defected to Feng State.
Let’s talk about Shao Jun and Cai Gui. On the way to Fengyang, Shao Jun was shivering. Although he and Shao Yu were not familiar with each other, they were from the same clan after all, and they still had some contacts with each other. He also knew Shao Yu somewhat.
I knew a little bit more about him, and I knew that this person was shrewd, keen, and ambitious. Most importantly, Shao Yu was ruthless and decisive. He took the initiative to send him to his door. If he was unhappy, his life would be at stake in Xishan County.
How could Cai Gui be so smart and not see Shao Jun's worry and fear? He nodded secretly. No wonder the king wanted to promote him as the puppet prince of Mo State. People like Shao Jun were too easy to control. Push him to do this.
Puppet is also perfect.
He persuaded Shao Jun with a smile: "Your Highness King Mo, don't worry, this trip to Fengyang is extremely safe."
Shao Jun swallowed hard, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid... you and I won't even be able to enter Fengyang City, so first..." At this point, he sighed with a sad look on his face.
Cai Gui said: "Your Highness King Mo, Shao Yu will never harm you!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course! Not only will Shao Yu not harm you, but he will also treat you like a distinguished guest." Cai Gui said confidently.
These words boosted Shao Jun's spirits. He hurriedly approached Cai Gui and asked, "Why did Mr. Cai say that?"
Cai Gui asked with a smile: "Is Shao Yu a fool?"
"of course not!"
"Since it's not the case, then he should always leave a way out for himself." Cai Gui smiled implicitly, but also with a different meaning.
Shao Jun didn't quite understand what he meant, and wanted to ask more, but Cai Gui had already closed his eyes, showing an expression that he didn't want to say more.
Shao Jun was hesitant and full of doubts about Cai Gui's words, but when they arrived outside Fengyang City, things turned out just as Cai Gui said, and Shao Yu greeted Shao Jun as a guest.
Now, Shao Yu is in Fengyang, the 200,000 troops from Xishan County are in Fengyang, and even Han Zhong, Yuan Tian, and the remnants of their 150,000 troops who had previously fled into Xishan County are also in Fengyang.
In Fengyang City, nearly 400,000 local troops from the Mo Kingdom have gathered. With such a large number of troops, coupled with Fengyang's unique natural terrain, not to mention the 100,000 direct troops who cannot defeat them, I am afraid that the entire national military strength of the Feng Kingdom will be reduced.
Even if they are all transferred here, they may not be able to defeat Fengyang.
Upon hearing the news of Shao Jun's arrival, Shao Yu led his civil and military officials out of the city to greet him in person, including Han Zhong and Yuan Tian.
As soon as Shao Jun stepped out of the carriage, Shao Yu rushed forward, stood in front of him, then solemnly adjusted his clothes, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and said: "Nephew Shao Yu, I don't know.
My uncle is coming here, but I am sorry to hear you come from afar, so I hope you will bear with me."
Shao Yu and Shao Fang are the same generation. In terms of seniority, he is indeed a generation younger than Shao Jun. It is absolutely correct to call him nephew. However, they are similar in age. In total, Shao Yu may be several years older than Shao Jun.
Years old. Shao Yu is only in his thirties. He looks like a talented person. He is tall and handsome. Anyone who sees him can't help but secretly praise him.
Shao Jun never dreamed that Shao Yu would treat him as an uncle and nephew. He was just a down-and-out royal family persecuted by Shao Fang. After fleeing to the Feng Kingdom, although Tang Yin treated him kindly, he was dependent on others and was restricted everywhere.
Shao Yu was so courteous, and Shao Jun couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions. His legs softened, and he knelt down with a plop, hugged Shao Yu, and cried loudly. At this time, his crying was not pretending, but
After his family was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he felt emotional when he saw his relatives again. He cried, and Shao Yu couldn't help but shed tears. Of course, Shao Yu's crying was more or less fake.
Seeing his uncle and nephew kneeling and hugging each other, crying profusely, Han Zhong, who was standing not far away, clenched his teeth, frowned, and slowly raised his hand to hold the sword at his waist. Shao Jun is the king.
Shao Yu, a wanted criminal, did not capture him on the spot, but still cried with the thief. For this reason, he could be treated as an accomplice.
Seeing him about to draw his sword, Yuan Tian next to him broke into a cold sweat. He quickly grabbed his wrist and asked in a low voice: "Master Han, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? Shao Jun is a prisoner of the imperial court. Of course I have to capture him..."
Alas! Yuan Tian sighed secretly, wondering if Han Zhong had read too many books and had lost his mind. This is Fengyang City, and it is Shao Yu's territory. If he wants to arrest someone, he must look at Shao Yu's.
I mean, if you jump out to arrest someone at this time, wouldn't you of course humiliate Shao Yu and make Shao Yu and the court quarrel? Yuan Tian lowered his voice to the lowest level and whispered: "Master Han, I will arrest Shao Jun or not."
I think Mr. Shao has his own sense of proportion, so don't worry too much. Don't forget where we are now! Han Zhong is not an idiot. After hearing what Yuan Tian said, he also realized that it is not appropriate to stand up and arrest people now.
He snorted loudly and muttered: "I want to see if Chief Shao will seek personal gain from his fellow clan members. If he dares, I will report it to the king and severely punish the traitor!"
Yuan Tian rolled his eyes weakly, Feng Guo was waiting for Xishan County and Wang Ting to fall out.
When Shao Jun and Shao Yu had almost finished crying, a middle-aged man in his early forties came forward and reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, this is not a place for conversation, so we'd better go to the city first!" While speaking,
The young man specially winked at Han Zhong and Yuan Tian.
Shao Yu glanced at the opportunity and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. Liu Ting said makes sense." After speaking, he helped Shao Jun stand up and said: "Uncle, let's talk after we go to the city!"
Jun responded quickly.
At this time, the Feng Army escorted by Cai Guiling did not need to enter the city and all returned to the Feng Army camp. He did this to avoid suspicion. After all, the two sides were in a hostile state now and allowed hundreds of Feng Army to enter the city. To say that Shao Yu was not afraid was not
impossible.
Shao Yu did not ignore this detail. He couldn't help but look at Cai Gui a few more times and asked Shao Jun, "Uncle, this is..."
"My Excellency, Cai Gui, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Shao!" Without Shao Jun introducing him, Cai Gui took the initiative to step forward and bowed deeply to Shao Yu.
Cai Gui Shao Yu carefully thought about the name twice and confirmed that he had never heard of it. He thought he was just an unknown person from Feng Kingdom, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Uncle, please get in the carriage!" Shao Yu turned aside and let Shao Jun get into the carriage first, and then he followed. Before he could sit down, Shao Jun poked his head out and said, "Master Cai, please sit in too!"
After the crying scene just now, Shao Jun felt much closer to Shao Yu, but he was still a little timid when he was asked to face Shao Yu alone.
Shao Jun wanted to find someone to embolden him, but Cai Gui was not sure about letting him be alone with Shao Yu. When Shao Jun took the initiative to greet him, he followed suit and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Shao Jun and Cai Gui sat on one side, and Shao Yu and the middle-aged Liu Ting sat on the other side. On the way, Shao Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"Yes, the last time we met was when Brother Wang was assassinated." Shao Jun sighed.
"I heard that the murder of the late king was related to the king?" Shao Yu asked slowly.
"It's not just related to Shao Fang, it's the assassin sent by Shao Fang!" Shao Jun said indignantly: "Brother Wang's hunting route is impossible for outsiders to know. Without someone cooperating inside and outside, the assassin would never have set up an ambush in advance."
Shao Yu rolled his eyes and murmured: "What uncle said makes sense."
Shao Jun's heart moved and he said hurriedly: "My dear nephew, you must help me this time!"
Shao Yu smiled and asked, "I wonder why my uncle asked my nephew to help you?"
Shao Jun said seriously: "The Emperor knew that Shao Fang had killed his father and seized the throne. He was extremely angry. Now he has deposed Shao Fang from the throne and canonized me as King Mo. But Shao Fang openly defied the Emperor's order and refused to abdicate.
, Feng Guo helped me attack Shao Fang this time, and it was also under the order of the emperor. Nephew, Shao Fang is a lunatic who does not recognize his relatives, and he is openly an enemy of the emperor. If you work for him, you will suffer from it sooner or later, so why not take refuge with me?
, you and I, my uncle and nephew, can also revive Mo Country!"
Shao Yu was not surprised at all by Shao Jun's words. He had already guessed that Shao Jun took the risk to come here just to persuade him to surrender. He deliberately looked embarrassed and said: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew doesn't want to help you, but that my nephew wants to help you."
I also have difficulties. Let’s not talk about whether the king’s throne is right or wrong, but in the Mo country, the king’s status is still unshakable. In addition, the last time the Feng army attacked Fengyang, they suffered heavy losses. I heard that His Highness Lian Feng’s love
The general also died in front of the two armies. If I take refuge with you, how can His Highness the Wind King let me go?"
"This..." Of course Shao Jun has not forgotten Tang Yin's angry look when Li Sheng died. Now that Shao Yu talks about it, he really has nothing to say.
At this time, Cai Gui suddenly said: "Don't worry, Master Shao. When the two armies confront each other, casualties are inevitable. My king will never resent Master Shao because of this!"
Shao Yu raised his eyebrows, met Cai Gui's gaze, looked him up and down for a moment, and asked calmly: "Can Mr. Cai speak on behalf of His Highness Feng Wang?"
Cai Gui almost didn't even think about it and nodded in response: "That's right! I came here under the order of the king, and I can definitely make a decision on behalf of the king."
Yo! What a loud tone! Shao Yu asked subconsciously: "I wonder what official position Mr. Cai holds in Feng Country?"
Cai Gui continued: "In charge of the eight counties in Ningbei."
Seeing the surprised expression on Shao Yu's face, Cai Gui continued: "My Cai family is deeply favored by the king and is in charge of all affairs of the eight counties in Ningbei. The king is kind and has a big heart. As long as you work for the king sincerely, the king will definitely ignore the past grudges.
, my Cai family is an example."
If these words were said by others, they might be considered hypocritical, but when said by Cai Gyu, the credibility is much higher.
