Chapter 81: All united

Views:

Wang Xiong's voice resounded in all directions outside the city lord's palace!

The people around him suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Captain Pang with disgust.

Wang Xiong is qualified to preach to Taiwei Pang, but what is the use of scolding Taiwei Pang in the past? The Dongfang Palace exists in name only, and Wang Xiong's words don't have much effect anymore. Even if it occupies morality, it won't have much effect.

Because at that time, Wang Xiong was powerless and helpless, and Taiwei Pang didn't even need to pay attention to people's gentle words.

But today is different. Behind Wang Xiong are tens of thousands of officials and people. The officials and people are on Wang Xiong's side, increasing Wang Xiong's momentum for revolt.

Let words that were originally weightless become as heavy as a thousand pounds.

In the past few days, while Wang Xiong was ignoring Captain Pang, he was also sending Wang family members to secretly enter the city to build momentum and awaken the people's old feelings for the palace.

Wang Xiong did it, and the people followed Wang Xiong in memory of their old friendship, becoming Wang Xiong's biggest help. Even if the people don't say anything, the momentum of unity is enough to add countless weight to Wang Xiong's words.

Captain Pang looked at Wang Xiong, then at the tens of thousands of people behind Wang Xiong, and his face darkened.

As my subordinate said just now, Wang Xiong is here to force me into the palace.

If Wang Xiong came to force the palace alone, he could just say a few perfunctory words, but Wang Xiong actually brought tens of thousands of people, and even the whole city came one after another, constantly adding to Wang Xiong's momentum. Help Wang Xiong force the palace.

Strong? Taiwei Pang didn't dare. After all, Wang Xiong was the King of the East. If he could use force directly, Taiwei Pang wouldn't have to make so many calculations.

Perfunctory? It was originally possible, but now, with all the people working together to force her to have an abortion, how can she deal with it

"I will naturally give an explanation to King Dongfang about the attack of the Chi Lian Army eight days ago. King Dongfang, please come into the palace, and I will explain to King Dongfang!" Taiwei Pang invited.

Invited into the house

Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and revealed a sneer.

How could Wang Xiong not see what Commander Pang was thinking? I brought countless officials, soldiers, and people here today just to put pressure on Taiwei Pang and force him to give in.

Entering the mansion with him now? The general trend of the people behind him is gone. Will Taiwei Pang compromise then

Once Taiwei Pang couldn't force him to give in, the momentum of the officials and people behind him would be exhausted. Once the people's anger is vented, today will be in vain and become a joke.

"No need, Captain Pang wants to give me an explanation, so let's do it here!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.

Taiwei Pang's face darkened. He didn't seem to want to speak.

"Pang Taiwei, you were sent by the Human Emperor to assist the Dongfang Palace in managing the fiefdom. You were not sent by the Human Emperor to destroy the Dongfang Palace. I want to hear how you, Captain Pang, were doing when the Dongfang Palace was in disaster eight days ago. Assisting the Dongfang Palace? Assisting means just ignoring him and watching the palace waiting to die?" Wang Xiong looked at Taiwei Pang coldly.

Wang Xiong's tone was extremely sharp, and every sentence was heart-breaking. It comes close to the essence of Taiwei Pang’s purpose in the eastern fiefdom.

The subordinates behind Captain Pang were suddenly sweating profusely.

Driven by Wang Xiong's tone, the people around him also became hostile.

Taking a deep breath, Captain Pang said in a deep voice: "King Dongfang has misunderstood. Since King Dongfang wants to know here, I will explain it to King Dongfang here!"

"Oh?" Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang.

"That day, 500,000 red troops attacked. I did not send troops out of the city. It was not because I did not want to rescue the Dongfang Palace, but to protect the people of Zhendong City! The people are more important than the king. This is what the previous King Dongfang said many times. I The officer followed the old prince's instructions and protected the people of Zhendong City for him. I would like to ask King Dongfang, are there any mistakes or omissions in what I have done?" Pang Taiwei said solemnly.

Excuse, everyone knows this is an excuse. However, when Taiwei Pang spoke out, he was suspected of trying to please the people. Wang Xiong and the people came to force the palace. Pang Taiwei wanted to separate Wang Xiong from the people. Therefore, on the grounds of protecting the people, the people could not find fault. Wang Xiong couldn't say it was wrong.

The subordinates behind Captain Pang were overjoyed. Wang Tiance and other officials' expressions changed.

There is nothing wrong with protecting the people! How does Wang Xiong find fault

"The people value the king more than the king? Pang Taiwei, you are right. In Pang Taiwei's eyes, your army of one million can only protect Zhendong City in the face of 500,000 red soldiers?" Wang Xiong He looked at Taiwei Pang and asked.

Taiwei Pang raised his eyelids and suddenly fell silent, because although Wang Xiong's words were simple, there was a big hole hidden in them.

If we admit that a million-strong army can only face 500,000 red-trained troops, it would appear that a million-strong army is extremely incompetent. But if you don't admit it, then why didn't you send extra troops to support eight days ago

"I just want to ensure that Zhendong City is safe, and I don't think so much!" Pang Taiwei said solemnly.

"Ha, so to speak, Taiwei Pang's ability can only be limited to one city. There is no way to take into account the extra city? Since Taiwei Pang's ability is limited, then in our eastern fiefdom, Taiwei Pang must also assist Are you limited? There are thirty-six large cities in our eastern fiefdom, and Captain Pang can only defend one city, so I don’t know, what use do I need you for?" Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang coldly.

When Wang Xiongtu saw this, he asked, which immediately made Taiwei Pang's heart skip a beat.

"Haha, I have come to the Eastern Fiefdom to guard the borders and manage the cities. This is the order of the Emperor. You cannot overthrow it by saying, "What do you want me to do?" Without me, the Eastern Fiefdom would have been in chaos. Regiment!" Pang Taiwei said coldly.

"Guarding the border? Hahahaha, I think you, a lieutenant, are not worthy of your name. A million troops guard the border, and you are so frightened by 500,000 red soldiers that you dare not move? What is the use of this million troops?" Wang Xiong Leng Leng said.

"King Dongfang, please don't slander our Qin army!" Pang Taiwei glared.

"Isn't it? Your millions of troops are afraid of Chi Lianjun, who is as scared as snakes and scorpions, and Manbaizi, who is being chased by the guards of this palace, fled in the desert. Doesn't that explain the problem? Guarding the border, your millions of troops are useless at all. With my palace Everything is enough here. Where did your army of millions come from? Where can you go back?" Wang Xiong shouted coldly.

"Where did you come from, where are you going back!" Wang Tiance shouted.

"Wherever you come from, go back to where you came from!" Immediately, countless officials and people shouted.

The sound shook the whole city, and a huge pressure rushed straight into the hearts of Taiwei Pang and others.

The expressions of everyone behind Taiwei Pang changed. Only Taiwei Pang could suppress the anger in his heart.

"King Dongfang, the million-strong army cannot be retreated just by asking for it. They are defending our territory of Da Qin!" Captain Pang said coldly, biting the word 'Da Qin'.

Captain Pang was telling Wang Xiong that the Eastern fiefdom also belonged to Great Qin, and it was not up to you to do whatever you wanted.

"I know they are here to assist me in guarding the border. However, the border area can be guarded by my royal guards. What are they doing here? Are they going to continue to waste food in the city? Since it is the Qin army, they should naturally be dispatched to where it is needed. It's their place, instead of hanging out here eating and drinking. Town Dongcheng doesn't support idlers!" Wang Xiong said coldly.

Not raising idle people not only refers to the army of millions, but also refers to Lieutenant Pang.

"Hahahaha, can Dongfang Prince Mansion guard the border by itself?" Pang Taiwei stared at Wang Xiong and said coldly.

"Pang Taiwei thinks the battle eight days ago is not enough to explain everything? No matter whether my palace can guard the border or not, it is better than your army of one million who only dares to watch, right?" Wang Xiong said with a smile.

Taiwei Pang was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph, I was ordered by the Human Emperor, not you, King Dongfang. I came to the Eastern Fiefdom for the good of the fiefdom. I admit that you can guard the border, but can you handle the political affairs of the major cities in the fiefdom? If I stop managing, the thirty-six cities will be in chaos instantly, do you believe it or not?" Taiwei Pang said in a deep voice.

Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.

Believe it, how could Wang Xiong not believe it! Over the past few years, important official positions in major cities have long been replaced by people from Taiwei Pang. Wherever he wants chaos, there will be chaos.

Wang Xiong is forcing Taiwei Pang, and Taiwei Pang is also threatening Wang Xiong.

Once the major cities are in chaos and Wang Xiong's influence cannot overwhelm them in a short time, then Da Qin will have reason to come and take over. At that time, the eastern fiefdoms will be more thoroughly encroached upon by Great Qin.

Now, at least on the surface, things are stable, and the thirty-six cities all fall under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Fiefdom.

"Pang Taiwei assists me in managing the Sifang City. I am naturally grateful. However, Taiwei Pang is no longer needed to frighten the Chilian Holy Land. In Zhendong City, Taiwei Pang's stay will be of no use. Instead, it will delay Taiwei Pang." Instead of assisting me in managing other cities, how about Taiwei Pang going to the east heart city in the west today to take charge? I can take charge here in the east city!" Wang Xiong stared at Taiwei Pang and said in a deep voice.

Wang Xiong is still confident in managing Zhendong City. This is the city where the palace has the greatest influence. All the Wang family's relationships are here, and it is also the place where officials care most about the palace. As long as Taiwei Pang leaves, he can take over immediately.

Captain Pang stared at Wang Xiong with squinted eyes.

This is also the bottom line in Taiwei Pang's heart. Wang Xiong took advantage of the popular trend to force the palace. Zhendong City was obviously no longer a place to stay for a long time. However, Taiwei Pang would not agree to give up the power of other cities even if he and Wang Xiong broke up.

Now, Taiwei Pang reluctantly accepted the offer of Zhendong City in exchange for control of other cities.

"That's fine. Since King Dongfang has the ability to guard the border, I won't show off my shame. However, before I leave, I would like to ask King Dongfang and Marquis Tiance. Where is my daughter, Pang Hongfen?" Taiwei Pang said in a deep voice.

"What the Lieutenant said is funny. How do I know about your daughter?" Wang Xiong sneered.

Taiwei Pang's face darkened and he turned to look at Wang Tiance. Captain Pang didn't care about Pang Hongfen. What he cared about was whether the "Book of Eradicating the Rebellion to the National Purpose as I Come to the King" fell into Wang Xiong's hands.

"What Lieutenant Pang said is funny, how do I know about your daughter?" Wang Tiance also imitated Wang Xiong's words and sneered.

Taiwei Pang suddenly became angry.

"Okay, okay, okay, I will go to Dongxin City in three days. After controlling Dongcheng, I will trouble King Dongfang to take charge!" Pang Taiwei gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Commander!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.

"In this case, I have given my account to King Dongfang. King Dongfang, do you want to go into the palace to rest for a while?" Taiwei Pang asked politely.

"No need, I will let the Taiwei live in this city lord's palace for another three days. After three days, it will become the new Dongfang Palace. By then, I will have plenty of time to appreciate it slowly!" Wang Xiong laughed.

While laughing, Wang Xiong slapped the tiger's head and turned to look at the excited people and officials around him.

"Dear citizens of Zhendong City, I hereby decide that when Taiwei Pang leaves Zhendong City, all taxation in the city will return to the way it was before my father!" Wang Xiong shouted loudly.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The people in the city suddenly cheered.

"That's great. Your Majesty looks like an old prince!"

"We are blessed!"

"Then Captain Pang is finally leaving!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Lieutenant Pang, leave early! Leave quickly!"

… … … … …

… … …

The surroundings suddenly became a sea of joy.

Wang Xiong stepped on the tiger and left cheering from the crowd. All the people and officials worshiped Wang Xiong extremely. Escort Wang Xiong and return to the Eastern Palace outside the city.

Seeing Wang Xiong and his entourage leave, Taiwei Pang and the officials behind him all looked ugly.

"King Dongfang? Humph!" Taiwei Pang snorted with a gloomy face.
