Shen Zangfeng's eyes narrowed and he said, "Tell me more carefully, what exactly is going on?"
"Today, you and the guard go to the Yamen to discuss matters. After I came back with Yan'er, I received a report at the door, saying that it was Di Nuyena who blocked the road to give a horse and asked to see her." Guard Chief Ying said slowly, "At first I didn't agree, but then she offered a piece of blood jade, saying that she wanted to say something very important. But I became curious, wondering what confidence she had in making such a big deal. As a result, she turned over and over after coming in. It’s all about ‘the birds are gone and the bows are hidden’.”
Shen Zangfeng was alert and frowned when he heard this.
Wei Changying continued: "Then I brought up the incident about the white horse, and Yana said that it had nothing to do with their Wugumeng tribe, it was all done by the Ayitahu tribe. It was just evidence for her But I couldn't take it out... I was just talking to her wordlessly, but as I said it, I felt something was wrong - what Yena said made sense. Although Hougoumont had a relationship with us about killing his father. However, what he is more concerned about now is to keep his position as the Great Chanyu. For this reason, he even took the initiative to send people to Diecuiguan twice to discuss the mutual trade with us. Even though he was extremely sad when Musuer died. However, he was not seen turning back to fight against the Wei army while fleeing. This shows that even though this person has a deep friendship with Mu Xiuer, he is not someone who cannot tolerate it. "
"Of course I don't know much about Wu Gumeng, but now that I think about it, it's a bit strange that the white horse was sold to the previous guard general of Diecui Pass. It's not once or twice that the Di people bribed and planted spies among the Wei people. . Haven't you pulled out many before? It would have been fine if Hougomon had found a horse whose owner was unknown to him elsewhere, but that white horse was owned by Hougomon, and many people knew about it. It was sold to Diecuiguan and bought by the guard, intending to give it to you or me, but no one reminded us during this time? "
Shen Zangfeng's face sank like water, and he thought for a moment before saying: "When I investigated this matter, the people below argued that it was because they had just defeated the Di people not long ago, so they were negligent. And some people thought that Wugumeng was not able to escape in time. He took the white horse with him, but it escaped from the war and was sold to Diecuiguan. The white horse usually behaved normally, but no one thought that there was something wrong with the horse!"
Wei Changying sighed: "Yena kept talking about 'the bird is hidden behind its bow'. I thought about it over and over, why did she do this? I'm afraid, this white horse thing is not necessarily, or it may not be all about Ugu. Someone from the Meng tribe or the Ayitahu tribe, Diecuiguan, and even our Shen family had a hand in it! Of course, they may not really want to harm you and me, but they probably want to use this reason to ask for another army to wipe out the Di tribe! "
The previous time when the army killed Qiu Di's predecessor, the Great Chanyu, the Wei army pursued Di's tribe and penetrated thousands of miles into the grassland. Considering the baggage problem, Shen Cangfeng ordered the withdrawal of the army and took the initiative to end the expedition. At that time, because the Di people were defeated and the Wei army was so powerful, many people, including the soldiers at the forefront, were reluctant to stop. However, because of the prestige of the Shen family in the Xiliang army and Shen Zangfeng's identity, they had to obey. .
After all, judging from this war alone, Shen Zangfeng suddenly stopped when the great opportunity was just around the corner.
These people will inevitably guess why Shen Zangfeng did this.
As soon as Shen Zangfeng arrived in Xiliang, he offered to use his body as a bait to trap Qiu Di's great Chanyu, so no one suspected that he was timid - let alone who would be timid when he was victorious all the way
If he was unwilling to agree that the credit should mainly go to Deng Zongqi and the others, he was worried that after taking all the credit in one fell swoop, Shen Zangfeng would find it difficult to handle himself when discussing the merits. But after withdrawing his troops that time, Shen Zangfeng did not send troops for a long time...
If you have to guess, of course you have to guess that Shen Zangfeng is worried that the bird will be hidden...
These people may not think that the Shen family will become a Cang Gong, or they may just want to completely eliminate the Di tribe. In short, they do not want to be like Shen Zangfeng now, sitting back and watching Qiu Di split into two parts, and only use gentle means to slowly, but I hope that the Xiliang army can use the power of thunder to defeat the Di people in one fell swoop!
Even destroying the country and exterminating its species!
Without the cooperation of these people, according to the Shen family's control of Xiliang, especially Diecuiguan, there would not have been such a major mistake as usual... Because there were accidents in the world, and the Wei army had just won at that time, the explanation given to Shen Zangfeng It was reasonable and reasonable, but Shen Zangfeng actually missed it once.
On the contrary, the Wugumeng tribe may have known about it or thought of going with these people - after all, for the Shen family, the Di tribe is now seriously injured and can fight or make peace, but for the Wugumeng tribe, Mu The Great Chanyu of Xiure was killed and the tribe was scattered. If we didn't keep a close eye and try to figure out the Shen family's intentions, it would be all over if we were not careful!
That's why Yena gave him one big gift after another, just to meet with Wei Zhang Ying, so that he could explain the truth of "the bird disappears and the bow hides". Because most of the Wugumeng tribe also believed that the Shen family would stop in time, all because they were afraid that without the threat of Qiu Di, they would be cooked by the Holy Shang Zangzhi.
And she came specifically to strengthen the Shen family's determination in order to achieve the Shen family's purpose of agreeing to exchange baggage.
Perhaps Di Nu's previous competition with Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun was also in the hope that after winning against these two Shen masters, she could alert Shen Zangfeng, the real person in charge of the Shen family in Xiliang. After all, Shen Zangfeng had no intention of agreeing to the exchange request from the Wugomeng tribe. Whether it was when spring started a month ago or now, he had no intention of meeting the Wugomeng tribe's envoy.
However, it was not convenient for Ye Na to say her words of persuasion to everyone. She must have asked Shen Zangfeng to tell her face to face. It would not sound good if the Shen family's suspicions about the Holy Emperor were spread. If anything, it would be a private whisper.
The Wugoumeng tribe would never dare to offend Shen Zangfeng now, and of course they would not dare to say "the bird is gone and the bow is hidden" in front of people other than the person in charge.
But what Yana didn't expect was that even though she beat Shen Zangfeng's two brothers again and again in horseback shooting, she still failed to achieve her goal of meeting Shen Zangfeng. Because even if she defeated Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun, Shen Zangfeng didn't take the Wugumeng tribe's envoy to heart, and he didn't have any curiosity because she was still a woman. He actually continued to accompany his wife and the family as planned. My niece travels around...
Ye Na thought that after receiving the news, Te Te waited outside the courtyard to give the horse away, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to have a private conversation with Shen Zangfeng. But she was really unlucky. She was still trying to find ways to send the horse out, but she was disturbed by an urgent message from the imperial capital that was 800 miles away!
Shen Zangfeng was eager to summon his staff and subordinates to discuss the Yanzhou Civil War. He was too lazy to bother with her and directly collected the horse, but did not give her the time to say a word...
However, Yana also saw with her own eyes the guard of Diecui Gate personally riding a horse to chase Shen Zangfeng and his entourage out of the city to report the big event, but she didn't know what the big event was! Therefore, for fear of long nights and many dreams, even if I had previously planned to only lobby Shen Zangfeng, I had to retreat and do the next best thing when I was forced to try to achieve my goal by trying to meet Wei Changying.
Shen Zangfeng had just ignored these things before, but when he was reminded by his wife, he naturally wanted to understand them instantly. He couldn't help but said with a livid face: "These people are causing trouble!"
He has always been very well-educated, he doesn't get angry easily, and he doesn't say hurtful words easily. At this moment, cursing "the person who caused trouble" is already a sign of great irritation.
Why doesn't Shen Zangfeng want to completely pacify the border
Wouldn't he be cruel enough to completely destroy the Di people
But for him, putting an end to the war in Xiliang was just a foundation. What we really need to worry about is the foreseeable troubled times as the Wei Dynasty loses its kings one after another and the wise kings are hopeless and the country is weakened and the country is shaken...
The Xiliang army is the biggest bargaining chip for the Shen family to rise in troubled times!
Can he keep a close eye on it
They pursued the Di people thousands of miles deep into the grassland. Firstly, they had killed their great leader, Mushuer, and secondly, they also greatly damaged the Di people's vitality. If you continue to chase... If you want to achieve more brilliant results than these two results, the price you have to pay is also very shocking!
If nothing else, let’s just say that the army is on the grassland because the Di people fled one after another when they heard that Da Chan was dead. The supplies and supplies could not be solved on the spot and had to be transported from Xiliang! Thousands of miles away, the number of civilian men, escort soldiers, livestock and vehicle power required to transport supplies are unimaginable!
After withdrawing his troops, Shen Zangfeng did not miss opportunities, but although Wugumeng and Ayitahu were hostile, if the Wei army pressed the border, the two groups might join together to avoid annihilation. It's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting to take advantage!
Even if the Shen family fights to the death with the Liu family in the court every year, the money allocated by the court to the Xiliang army every year cannot be endless after all!
Once the Wei Dynasty is completely in turmoil or the country is subjugated, it will not get the money from the court to support its troops. At that time, the Xiliang army will have to rely on the Shen family to support it. When Wei was still there, of course the Shen family had to desperately grab money, but also spend every penny carefully!
Based on this, Shen Zangfeng made the decision to withdraw his troops, and has not yet proposed sending troops again - he has to consider the future.
The foundation of the Shen family is Xiliang. Xiliang has always belonged to the Central Plains imperial court. The domestic family hierarchy and the status of the Central Plains dynasty are what the Shen family cares most about. Di people... The Shen family has been defeated in battles in the past, otherwise the ancestral hall would not have been stained with the marks of Di people's swords, but didn't they get it back later
Moreover, the Di people are now severely weakened. Even if the Shen family is involved in the troubled times and they attack Xiliang secretly, they will not be as ambitious, young, powerful and strategic as Musuer was in their heyday. It was difficult to deal with the Great Danyu during his reign.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zangfeng's withdrawal of troops based on long-term considerations would cause great dissatisfaction among the people in Xiliang. He actually dared to collude with the Di people to set a trap to murder Shen Zangfeng and his wife in order to achieve the purpose of sending troops again.
What's more, things are not that simple. Because Wei Changying bluntly stated that there was a problem in the Shen family, he specifically said, "They may not really want to harm you and me." But in fact, if Captain Ying had not followed her husband to Diecuiguan that time, he would have caught sight of the white horse, and the white horse would have been sacrificed by Shen Zangfeng...
Shen Zangfeng is the Shen family's designated next lord. He has been cultivated by the Shen Xuan brothers for many years, and he has proven his qualifications as a young lord. However, before him, Shen Zangli, the former young clan leader, had already lost the opportunity to take over the Shen family due to the incident involving Princess Xin Yi of Di Ren. This was a big blow to Shen Xuan. Fortunately, Shen Zangli was still young at the time and even said At such a young age, Shen Xuan still had time to cultivate his third son.
If something happens to Shen Zangfeng - Shen Zangli has lost his qualifications, Shen Xuan's other sons, because Shen Zangfeng is confirmed to take over Mingpeitang, will all be cultivated in a direction that will not compete with Shen Zangfeng.
The second son of the concubine, Shen Lianshi, is prone to partial beliefs and has a somewhat irritable temperament; Shen Zhou's eldest son and the fourth son of the sect, Shen Zanghui, is obviously soft-eared and not very sensible, let alone talking about the overall situation; the fifth son, Shen Zanghui, Zang Ji and the Sixth Young Master Shen Liankun are younger, and as younger sons, they have always been considered to have nothing to do with taking over the family, and they were tolerated when they were taught, even though they are somewhat shrewd compared to ordinary people. , compared with the city required to run a clan, they are very simple-minded... The seventh and eighth young masters below are still young!
Speaking of which, among the six domestic sects, isn't the decline of the Wei family due to successive generations of feuds among the sect masters? The Liu family and the Su family were also deeply affected by this incident; the Duanmu family was not as fierce as the Liu family and the Su family because the candidates for their children had already been decided, but there were also undercurrents and constant fighting among the grandchildren; the Song family had a small number of people, so there was no Let's fight... Isn't the reason why the Shen family is so prominent and so popular among the six clans just because their heirs are prosperous and there is no internal strife between brothers and sisters in the past few decades
This rare harmony among high-ranking families was brought about by Shen Zhou's willingness to assist his brother, Shen Xuan's gratitude for his brothers' help, and the example set by brothers and sisters. But if something happens to Shen Zangfeng, the Shen family, which has been going smoothly for decades... God knows what will happen? (To be continued)
