"When one person is insulted, the whole country is insulted; when one person is hated, the whole world is hated?" Xiliang, Shen Zangfeng, who was one step ahead and had arrived at the ancestral hall a few days ago, looked at the letter spread out on the table, frowned slightly, and said, "This is really What did Wen Yazi, who came from a rural background, say? "
The person who delivered the message knelt half down in the hall and said solemnly: "The sixth master of the Wei family and Mo Binwei were saved by him!"
"Sure enough." Shen Zangfeng nodded. What surprised him was not that these impassioned words, encouraging everyone in the Wei Dynasty to unite to resist the Rong people, were shouted by Wen Yaozi who had never heard of them before, but that... these words were shouted at this time. out.
The Donghu Army is fighting in the north, risking their lives, and the 200,000 Qingzhou Army rushes to the north for reinforcements at night... But even if the Liu family's 200,000 troops are supported, not counting the troops in Qingzhou, there are still 200,000 in the capital alone. Qingzhou Army.
Due to the geographical advantage, the Xiliang army could choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but Qingzhou did not have such a good thing. In order not to shrink back to their hometown, they must secure the imperial capital. In order to stabilize the imperial capital, it was their inevitable choice to use Gyeonggi as their base and put down the rebellion step by step before the civil unrest developed to the scale of coveting the imperial capital.
In all likelihood, the Qingzhou Army would be divided into three groups shortly after the Xiliang Army left: one to aid Donghu; one to station in the imperial capital; and one to transform civilians!
Shen Zangfeng knew this before he decided to leave the imperial capital.
Because he would have done the same thing if he hadn't come back.
Now that we have to defend the capital, how can we wait for others to gain strength and come knocking? Of course, we should attack them first while they are still weak!
But now, a leader of the civil uprising said, "When one person is insulted, the whole country is insulted; when one person is hated, the whole country is hated."
... Those in higher positions are far-sighted and have great ambitions, and are not easily incited by a word, but this is not the case for those below.
Before Wen Yaozi spread this sentence, the Donghu army lost eleven cities in a row. After the soldiers captured the city, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. They even built numerous temples with heads and cut the soldiers into sticks and humiliated them at will. Put it in a leather bag and trample it into mud with war horses!
For Shen Zangfeng, who had personally fought against alien races and had seen such news since he was a child, these were already commonplace.
However, although Li Shu in the hinterland of the Wei Dynasty was no stranger to such rumors, they were watching the fire from afar. It wasn't until the fall of the imperial capital at the beginning of this year that they truly realized what it meant to be someone other than our own race, and their hearts must be different - the Rong people simply regarded the Wei people as livestock!
Yanzhou and the imperial capital suffered so badly this time. Even the nobles, who were always superior to the common people, suffered heavy losses. If the Rong people occupied Wei again, would they still have a way to survive
Under such fear, they instinctively brewed the desire and courage to resist the Rong people.
And hearing Yaozi's arms raised up, the fire was lit.
Shen Zangfeng estimated the time and guessed that the Su family should be very angry now - they should have just prepared to put down the chaos, but in this situation, they were about to put down the chaos, but they shouted slogans to deal with the Rong people together.
If he only heard Yaozi doing this, Shen Zangfeng, who was thousands of miles away, was still not sure. But since Wei Xinyong was caught in it, Shen Zangfeng dared to vouch for the method that Uncle Wei Liu had used to spread rumors that Su Yuliang and He Ziyong were planning to murder the third family member of the Su family, while he himself remained invisible. Now the public's anger must have been mobilized.
What's more, others always see hope in this rallying cry - among those who are currently in the uprising, I have never heard of anyone having elite soldiers of this level who can fight head-on with the border troops. Originally, it was the Su family who was responsible for annihilating the uprising. , a great opportunity to strengthen yourself.
If there is an opportunity to use the name of righteousness to block the Su family, it would be a fool not to get involved.
Even if the Su family ignores such threats and continues to quell the chaos... they have nothing to lose anyway, right
In short, after hearing Yaozi's instigation, if the Qingzhou Su family does not do well, it will be known as "still killing people in times of national crisis" - Shen Zangfeng also noticed that the spy said that "the sixth master of the Wei family and Mo Binwei are... "What he saved" was a verbal message, but the paper was never delivered.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Uncle Wei Liu and Mo Binwei heard about Yaozi's rescue. Does the Su family still know about it now?"
"The Duke of Hui Guo said that is indeed the case." The spy said solemnly, "Furthermore, my subordinates discovered that the Song family seems to be involved."
Shen Zangfeng opened his eyes and said: "Song family? Is it the leader of the Song family? But the leader of the Song family was devastated by the death of Song Sikong and the eldest son of the Song family. Now he is just struggling to support the sect... and he still has the energy to take control. Extend to near Panzhou?”
The spy said: "The person who intervened was not the Song family leader, nor the second son of the Song family, but... the eldest lady of the Song family!"
"What about cousin Su Wu?" Shen Zangfeng asked thoughtfully.
"The Fifth Young Master Su doesn't seem to know," the spy said. "My subordinates found out that it seems that the eldest lady of the Song family needed Master Wei Liu to know about the late Song Sikong, so she helped them escape from Wen Yaozi into Jinzhou. . Now under the cover of the Song family business in Jinzhou, our whereabouts change almost every day. Where are we going and what are we doing in the middle? Because we are worried about being noticed by the Su family, our people can only follow from a distance... but accidentally lose the trace. . Please punish me!”
Shen Zangfeng didn't say anything for a long time, so long that the spies were frightened and the atmosphere in the hall almost solidified. Then he slowly said: "This should not be just Miss Song's method, it should be Uncle Wei Liu's plan. Let Miss Song If you don't tell the Su family, even if you find clues, you won't dare to act too blatantly, and you will even deliberately cover up the traces for them. After all, I have led the army back to Xiliang, far away from the Central Plains. Bian, after all, is not comparable to the Su family, so even if you know some secrets, you don't dare to alert them easily, because even if you get it temporarily, you may not be able to keep it. "
The spy didn't know whether he would be punished for missing the whereabouts of Wei Xinyong and Mo Binwei this time, so he said cautiously: "This subordinate really thinks so..."
"But some people have things that don't necessarily need to be protected." Shen Zangfeng said with a look of regret in his eyes, "You shouldn't have chosen to follow them after seeing their whereabouts change every day... and don't think about it, besides running for their lives. What else is going on outside? What’s the point of this kind of tracking?”
When the spy heard the accusation, he was shocked and said: "Subordinate..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Zangfeng shouted sternly: "You should kill him! And Mo Binwei! Can't you see why they planned to let the Song family help them leave? Because Wen Yaozi - this so-called 'one person's humiliation' The idea of "humiliating the whole country and hating the whole world" must have come from Wei Xinyong, and he and Mo Binwei were both involved in Su Yuliang's death! Once they were found to have received favors from Wen Yaozi, the Su family immediately If they can use this excuse to send troops, even if they don’t continue to raid various places, it is natural to kill Wen Yazi! They just want to put aside their relationship with Wen Yazi!”
The spy who was lying on the ground did not dare to argue, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: Who doesn't know that Wei Xinyong is a descendant of the Wei family, or the sixth uncle of the third lady? The third lady is now the mistress of the Shen family. How could they dare to kill Wei Xinyong without their permission as spies
Even if we don't consider the fear of the mistress' investigation and revenge, we still have to consider whether they are qualified to decide to provoke the Wei family as an enemy of the Shen family...especially the Shen family and the Wei family are in-laws!
"Third brother, please calm down." Shen Likun, who was called over by Shen Zangfeng to meet the spy, knew that he had little talent and knowledge, so he remained silent until now. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but say, "I see Wei Xinyong and the others are doing this. Although It's a trick on the Su family, but it doesn't do any harm to our family, right? Why kill them? How could the Su family be captured so easily? What's more, with the strength of the Su family, it would be impossible to defeat Panzhou and other places. The problem is that now Wei Xinyong and Mo Binwei are hindering it... Wouldn't it be just right if the Su family can't continue to grow, or if it grows, it will require more losses and costs? "
Shen Zangfeng looked coldly, glanced at him, and said, "Do you think our biggest enemy in the future will definitely be the Su family?"
Shen Liankun said in astonishment: "Why not?" In his opinion, the uprisings in various places are just a group of rioters who cannot be brought to the stage. The only one that can really threaten the Xiliang Shen family's influence in the world... In addition to the Su family, it is the Liu family, but Liu Bozhao He and Liu Xixun are now completely at odds with each other, which has even led to the collapse of the Donghu Army... So who is the most annoying person standing in front of the Shen family, if not the Su family
"You underestimate your sister-in-law's sixth uncle too much!" Shen Zangfeng said coldly, "Do you think he will randomly choose someone to give guidance, even if this person is his savior? Not to mention that he has even dragged the Song family into trouble. , and even left in person to clear the relationship with Wen Yaozi..."
"Does the third brother think that Wei Xinyong can let Wen Yaozi threaten the Su family?" Shen Liankun thinks this is too impossible, "We have never heard of Wen Yaozi when we were in the imperial capital. Looking at this report I'm just a villager, what can I do?"
"If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, these people would naturally not be worth mentioning." Shen Zangfeng rubbed his eyebrows - because he rushed back to rescue Xiliang when he was attacked by Di and Rong. Of course, he rushed slowly along the way, and After returning to the ancestral hall, he hurriedly asked Shen Zangji about the current situation and found that it was more troublesome than he expected. He was also very busy these days.
That's why I heard that the spies from the imperial capital had arrived, and immediately called Shen Liankun over to listen - the eldest son Shen Shuguang was still young and had not yet arrived in Xiliang. Of course, Shen Zangfeng could only hope to train his brothers to help him first. .
At this moment, he suppressed his tiredness and said calmly, "But in troubled times, it is the time for people in the grass to come forward. Looking at the history, how many princes and generals came from humble backgrounds? Our noble clan is noble, but the common people are not the same. You can’t get ahead, right?”
Shen Liankun still felt that Shen Zangfeng was worried: "Even if Wen Yazi can bring down the Su family with the help of Wei Xinyong, can't our family be able to cure him?"
"Uncle Sixth's methods are even scary to my grandparents." In the team that arrived at Xiliang City, Wei Changying had been frowning since he sent his eldest son away. He held the letter in his hand and thought hard. "He has always done things in a calculated manner. What is his plan for helping Wen Yaozi this time? The most important thing is that Changfeng is still in the imperial capital. Because of him, his grandparents secretly sent many people to accompany him. Chang Feng. Although these people cannot go into battle to fight against the Qingzhou Army and take two people back to Fengzhou privately, they may not be able to hide it from the eyes of the Qingzhou Army... But why is it that Uncle Six is looking for Cousin Song and not my Wei family? !”
For some reason, Wei Changying felt heavy in his heart, "Does Uncle Liu want to take this opportunity to break away from the Wei family? Or, to cultivate a force of his own and remain in Ruiyu Hall in name, but actually establish his own company? I don't know. Did my grandparents have any backup plans for this situation?"
