"What?" In the town hall, Jiang Wang looked shocked.
After settling down, he learned from Deacon Qian that the Qi army was trapped in Suoyang Kingdom.
I also understood why Deacon Qian had to compromise and let himself be slaughtered.
He is still a little tender. If he had known this earlier, he might not have been able to cut off even a thousand Daoyuan stones, let alone five hundred.
But as far as the news itself is concerned, what does it matter if you take more or less than a few Dao Yuan Stones?
Every move made by the Qi State can cause turmoil in the Eastern Region.
What's more, it's such a big event as siege of Yang Kingdom!
"Please tell me clearly, is the Qi army encircling the Suoyang Kingdom to trap the Suoyang Kingdom and intercept the plague? Or is it to swallow up the Yang Kingdom?" Jiang Wang asked.
"How can I, a small businessman, see such a big thing clearly? But maybe... it's both!"
There was a brief silence in the town hall.
Jiang Wang was almost certain at this time that this was the Qi State's big move that Zhong Xuansheng had vaguely hinted at before!
He would not complain that Chong Xuan Sheng did not inform him of the matter in advance. It involved a military plane. Even if Chong Xuan Sheng was not afraid of death, he would still stop him.
It's just that this happened a bit suddenly.
If the Qi State directly swallowed the Yang State in one go and turned the vassal states into subordinate counties, the interests of the entire Yang State would have to be re-divided. This also means that all his previous efforts in the Yang State may be lost.
Useless.
Because the division after the war can obviously only be led by the Qi military, and nothing else is involved.
Wait...couldn't Chong Xuan Sheng not think of this?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang asked: "Has Deacon Qian ever found out which big shot is leading the army to Yang Country this time?"
Deacon Qian shook his head: "The intelligence system of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance has been cut off now, and I was blind in Yang Country. I only know that Qiu Shajun is one of the nine soldiers, and I can't get any more detailed information at all.
Maybe only when the war really starts, I will know who is coming."
It was one of the nine pawns who came, and his determination was already obvious.
It is said that armed with sharp swords, murderous intentions arose. With such a powerful army from the world coming to Yang State, and being able to easily conquer Yang State, it would be difficult for the senior officials of Qi State not to be tempted.
All Jiang Wang could think of was... Chongxuansheng must be in the army at this moment, otherwise he would not be unable to reply to the letter. But what role does Chongxuansheng play in it?
How can we help him? What kind of cooperation does he need?
At this time, of the two of them, one is in the country of Yang and the other is outside the country. One is guarding a town alone, and the other is in the army.
How can we complete cooperation when communication is impossible?
Jiang Wang always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
He asked casually: "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"
Duguxiao didn't hesitate: "Xiaoxiao doesn't understand anything, how can he have any opinion? Master is such a smart man, we will do whatever you say."
This is just a small daily expression of loyalty. He has been working hard to move forward and strengthen Jiang Wang's leadership position in front of Zhu Biqiong and others. There is nothing special about it.
But when he heard these words, Jiang Wang suddenly had an idea.
"That fat man is much smarter than me. I can think of cooperating with him. He won't think that I am in Yang Country! In the case of being unable to communicate, if he needs me to do anything or wants to tell me something, he will
How? Or even...could he have done something?"
Jiang Wang looked at Deacon Qian again, and he finally figured out what he had overlooked.
"Deacon Qian, I just remembered something." He asked: "I heard from the guard at your Merchant Alliance warehouse that you had fled Yang Country a long time ago? Why did you suddenly turn back? Logically speaking, even if the Qi army sealed the territory, they would not
Qi Ren should be intercepted, right?"
"It's unlucky for people. Even if they drink cold water, their teeth will get clogged!"
Deacon Qian always thought that he was expelled by Pingxi County for concealing his harvest and bribing the army, thus missing the initial opportunity to escape back to Qi.
It was inconvenient to say everything in front of Jiang Wang, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I'm used to being filial to the military master, but I didn't expect to meet a selfless person who drove me back directly. I then turned to another place, and the passage was banned..."
"I'm not busy. Please tell me in detail what the situation is like everywhere."
Deacon Qian picked it up and said it.
"So, Chen Yong and the others are still in the military camp outside Baichuan City?"
"That's right." Deacon Qian scolded: "I'm just one day late, and those stinking military leaders won't be allowed to pass, even if they stay in the military camp!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wang was already 80% sure. Now Zhongxuan Sheng is very likely to be in Baichuan City and has certain military power.
This Deacon Qian is the "informant" he "sent" back!
He knew very well how well Jiang Wang was running Qingyang Town, and also knew very well that the deacon who fled with the money had no way out in Yang Country.
He used Deacon Qian to vent his anger on Jiang Wang, and he also asked Jiang Wang to use Deacon Qian's personal resources to replenish it. He also told Jiang Wang that he was coming!
And peeling back everything, the core part is that Zhongxuan Sheng also needs him to protect Qingyang Town!
"Deacon Qian, I believe you also know the current situation." Jiang Wang stood up and said: "At this time, we must focus our efforts in one place, otherwise we will be weak. Your people, including you, are now under my unified command.
.how do you feel?"
"I think it's very good! Mr. Jiang, the young hero, is right!"
Deacon Qian acted upright and upright.
Of course, it is unknown whether he has any objections in his heart. Fortunately, Jiang Wang does not need to consider his inner drama. He only needs him to dispatch the materials of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance in Jiacheng City as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that this day is already July 26th.
The last two plague patients in Qingyang Town.
One died of illness and the other recovered.
It's like the past and the future exist at the same time.
…
…
Zhaoheng City, in the palace hall.
The courtiers have all retreated.
Yang Jiande, the leader of the Yang Kingdom, squatted half-crouched and personally picked up something on the ground. It was some fragments of clothes and accessories, and the material was vaguely luxurious.
Naturally, there will be no flesh and blood left, and the fragments left behind were destroyed by the owners of the fragments themselves in their struggle.
The eunuch Liu Huai was always waiting by his side.
Yang Jiande asked casually while picking it up: "Where is Xuan Ce?"
Liu Huai bowed and said: "He is neither in Zhaoheng City nor Cangfeng City. I don't know where he went. The situation is too chaotic now, and I still need some time..."
"Forget it." Yang Jiande straightened up, held the messy fragments in his hands, and said calmly: "The Yang family is in today's situation, it is all the fault of being alone. It would be good if a bloodline can be left."
"To this day, how can you blame your majesty?" Liu Huai shed tears: "As early as three generations ago, the Yang Kingdom was a vassal state. When the previous emperor was still alive, he destroyed the last strong army of the Yang Kingdom, and the capital was
He also had to change his name to Zhaoheng. After defeating the Xia State, the Qi State no longer had any rivals in the Eastern Region, and our Yang State was on the other side of the bed... This is the situation your Majesty faced after he ascended the throne. Even if your Majesty Wen Taowu
If you are not inferior to others, how can you have the power to recover?"
"Shining means bright light, which is my Yang family. Balance means stability, which means begging for the current situation. To put it nicely, it is nothing more than lingering on."
Yang Jiande sighed and waved his hand: "Gu is useless, and Gu's son is useless too. Please stop pushing the responsibility to Gu's father."
He took a few steps and put the fragments held in his left hand into Liu Huai's arms: "It's a good idea to keep them."
After Liu Huai held them respectfully, Yang Jiande turned around and walked out of the hall.
Although the main hall is gorgeous, it is a bit dark, perhaps because the palace is too deep and the lights are not bright enough.
However, there was a bright light outside the palace, and the sun was shining brightly.
"Draft a letter of credence, ask for surrender from Chongxuan Chu Liang, add a jade seal, and invite him to come to the palace to express his gratitude."
Yang Jiande said as he walked.
His steps are not fast, but one step goes very far.
As soon as Liu Huai raised his eyes, he saw that his monarch was already standing at the palace gate.
That figure, who was not too tall, seemed to be standing at the dividing point between light and darkness.
There was light ahead, but he didn't want to step into it. There was darkness behind, and he couldn't fall.
Only his voice came from another world in a trance.
Very clear, but also very far away.
"Just take a look. Thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Can Jitu... still be able to make a living?"
