Guard Chief Ying angrily threw the military report to the ground: "Is this how we negotiated a peace?! We just want to return the things they took away from us - they will compensate us with war horses, but we have to give them money?! Are you kidding! Not to mention the fall of the imperial capital! The big enemy of each family was the blood debt during the previous epidemic... Wen Yaozi was so brave! Not many of his cavalry died, so he didn't feel bad about it, did he think of it as our blood feud? ! It’s too much! It’s too much!
Shen Zangfeng was calm and said: "The Great Khan and the Great Priest are both dead."
"They just killed each other to death! What does it have to do with us?!" Wei Changying said angrily, "They are so easy to take!" She was so angry that her hands were trembling slightly, and she looked at Shen Zangfeng and said, "It's urgent in the south, end it as soon as possible I know the truth about the war in the north, but just ignore it?"
"Both the Great Khan and the Great Priest are dead." Shen Zangfeng smiled lightly and shook her hand, with a vague chill in his eyes, and said, "Do you really think that the Great Priest plotted against the Great Khan?"
Wei Changying was stunned and looked at him in surprise: "You?" She asked in surprise, "Is it you?"
"Speaking of which, I still have to thank Doctor Ji. If he hadn't prepared the medicine himself, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Shen Zangfeng said lightly, "It's not just these two, just wait and see."
By mid-winter, the army marching day and night had already passed the imperial capital and moved southward with great momentum!
The entire Central Plains' attention was focused on this battle between the north and the south.
Only a few people are concerned about the news from the north: the new Great Khan of the Rong people, who has been on the throne for less than three months, was assassinated while visiting a female slave!
The person who assassinated him was the female slave who was sleeping with him that night. Although she committed suicide immediately after being assassinated, it was still traced out that the Lincuo tribe where this slave girl came from was the third prince of the Rong people who invaded the imperial capital in the early years. confidant clan.
The third prince is dead, but he has descendants. It goes without saying that this matter must have been done by his descendants.
The new Great Khan is the eldest brother of the third prince. He has grandchildren under his knees, so naturally he will not give up. Although all the third prince's descendants screamed that they were wronged, except for a mere two who fled, the rest were all killed by the new Great Khan. His descendants and subordinates beheaded him and took his head as a memorial to the short-lived new Great Khan.
However, just like when the new Great Khan competed with the third prince for the throne, although the former's descendants "avenged" him, they then fell into the struggle for the throne!
Probably because they had just negotiated peace with Wen Yaozi, and because Wen Yaozi could not spare any time to deal with them now, these people huddled together in relief. By the twelfth lunar month, several of the descendants of the Great Khan had died. . As of now, the ownership of the Khan position has still not been decided.
"Since you have such a plan, why didn't you come up with it earlier?" Wei Changying looked at the secret letters one after another with extremely complicated emotions. She thought for a long time before telling Shen Zangfeng, "It's because I feel like I'm not on the battlefield." Isn’t it fair enough to win decisively?”
Shen Zangfeng was leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed and concentrating. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Am I such a noble person?"
Wei Changying raised the letter in his hand in confusion: "But why didn't you do this earlier?" Otherwise, even if the great priest of the Rong people got the source of the severe epidemic from God knows where, there would be no chance to use it. is a problem!
"Because I would not allow Qiu Di to have a chance to revive before." Shen Zangfeng looked at her for a long time and then said, "But it's different now."
Chief Wei Ying was startled: "Qiu Di?"
"I promise Mo Ye that as long as he provokes the Rong royal family to kill each other and avenges his father and the others... I will help him gather Ayitahu's old troops, return to Di Tu, and build a foundation." Shen Zangfeng sighed lightly, "Originally, he wanted me to kill Hougoumont for him, but I refused. Without Hougoumont, he has no opponent. How can he still be obedient?"
Wei Changying said after a long time: "Mo Ye can actually do such a thing?" Before, Shen Zangfeng could reach into the royal tent of the former Great Khan of the Rong people, and Wei Changying found it a bit incredible.
Even though the Rong people make a living as nomads, even the Great Khan lives in a tent—it’s called a king’s tent, but it’s still a tent!
Therefore, the guards and protection are not as good as those of the nobles of the Wei Dynasty.
But even so, if the Great Khan of the Rong people was so scheming, his son, grandson or someone from other tribes would have taken his position as Great Khan long ago!
It's just that she forgot to ask in detail at that time - who would have thought that it was Mo Ye. After going around and around, she almost forgot about this person! But it was this person who made the move
Shen Zangfeng said calmly: "Firstly, he is a relative of the Great Khan of the Rong people. Secondly, the Rong people thought that he had failed in the fight for the throne in Qiudi and was hunted down by Wugumeng, so he fled to Beirong. In the Central Plains, He also had a deadly feud with our family, and countless people wanted him dead... Naturally, they thought there was no other place for him to seek refuge except Beirong. Also, because he was very talented, the Great Khan of the Rong people thought he could be used, so he allowed him to stay close to him. Serve...hey!"
The guard chief Ying let out a breath—in fact, the Rong people's judgment was correct. Because the Rong people went south under the guise of avenging Mo Ye, Mo Ye was already a bereaved dog at this time. In Qiudi, Wu Gumeng was not at ease if he, Ayitahu's son-in-law, was not killed, and it was difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart from the old grudges.
In the Central Plains, there was only one Shen family who didn't want to let him go. If he stepped into the Central Plains, he would already be dead. What's more, there are thousands of Li Shu people who are cursing him and hoping that he will die miserably
In this case, according to common sense, Mo Ye's only way out is to hug Rong Ren's thigh tightly and work hard to get Rong Ren's protection.
But who would have thought that Shen Zangfeng would put aside his hatred and choose to help him rebuild his power
Who wants to be dependent on others when you can be the master of your own country
In particular, Moye had a difficult life. As the grandson of the great Chanyu of Qiu Di, the son of Princess Di, and the original eldest son of the Shen family, he had lived a life of wandering, not to mention always being under the roof, so to speak. Suffered all kinds of grievances.
"Is Mo Ye... willing to trust you? You probably didn't give him anything important... right?" Wei Changying suddenly remembered what happened at Diecuiguan back then, and his expression suddenly changed!
Shen Zangfeng laughed dumbly: "Guang'er and Xie'er just came to greet you, didn't they? With so little effort, can I send them to the grassland? As for Da'er and He'er - they are so big , I can’t take good care of him if I send him away... How can I explain to my fifth brother and my fifth younger brother and sister?”
After hearing this, Wei Changying's expression softened slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Zangfeng sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, such a thing will never happen again. I was also... confused at the time. Now I think What I want is to live a good life with you, watch the children grow up, get married and have children... So the most important thing to me now is you, how can I abandon any of you? "
"Then how did you make Mo Ye believe it?" Wei Changying shook his hand with his backhand to comfort him, and guessed, "Is it because he can't survive in the Rong people and has to believe you? This is not right either. , If so, how could he torture the Rong people like this? "
Shen Zangfeng said calmly: "Because he is a smart man, he knows that I need a relatively strong Qiu Di now. It's just that I chased the Di people too far earlier, and has been controlling their necessary things over the years, so Qiu Di's vitality He has not fully recovered yet. Wu Gumeng has suffered too much in my hands and has lost his energy... Even if there is no Mo Ye, I will support a more capable and militant Di Shanyu in the future, since it is useful. If you care about his place, you won’t lie to him about it.”
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses: "Are you worried about Wen Yaozi??"
"If I were him, I wouldn't trust the Shen family in Xiliang." Shen Zangfeng said, "But fortunately, our Shen family has a deep foundation in Xiliang. Even if we can't compete for the supreme position, we can still respect ourselves as thieves." . Now the Xiliang army is no longer able to compete in the world, but even if Wen Yaozi wins the battle in the south, he will not be able to fight another western expedition. Of course, if Qiu Di fails, he may be bolder and try to attack our family. But if a capable man emerges from Qiudi, and he doesn’t want to have long nights and many dreams, then it’s best to win over our Shen family with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and look after Western Xinjiang for him... "
Speaking of this, Shen Zangfeng said with a half-smile, "Since the Shen family wants to win over, for the sake of checks and balances, and to prevent our family from thinking too much, the Liu family and the Su family will probably not be targeted. In this way, our family will not be targeted. It’s a loss.”
Wei Changying couldn't help but said: "The Liu family and the Su family have benefited from your hand. Why do you say we are not at a loss?"
"How is it possible for them to get benefits in vain?" Shen Zangfeng said without blushing, "I sent a message to the Liu family and the Su family, promising to gather old troops in Mo Ye and allow him to return to Qiudi in glory and develop. It’s so big that the Shen family can’t touch it—all of it is from the two families!”
"..." Wei Changying was speechless for a while and said, "They actually agreed?" Although the Liu family and the Su family took advantage of this matter, the biggest benefit still belongs to the Shen family, right
Even if the Liu family and the Su family had nothing to lose, wouldn't the Shen family do the same
Wei Changying felt that Liu Xixun and Su Yuwu would only accept this blackmail if they both lost their minds. Even if you think about it, it is not a small amount to cultivate Moye, who is alone and leads his young son to defect to Beirong, into a "thief" who can threaten Xiliang in a short period of time
In particular, the Liu family and the Su family have been greatly damaged. Now I feel that I am short of people and money!
"Don't forget that our family raised Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan. No matter how shameless Wen Yazi is, this favor must be acknowledged. After all, he will become more and more important, so naturally he can no longer be as shameless as before." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "So once he gains power, he must be liquidated. Our family may not be the first, but the Su family. Uncle Wei Liu has never said how to deal with them, right?"
"What about the Liu family? Because you are worried about Laihe?" Wei Changying understood that Su Yuwu was willing to pay the money, not because he couldn't see whether he could come out or not. The Shen family would do the same, but because he hoped that the Shen family would do the same. Can they help the Su family - the Su family is afraid of Wei Xinyong, and the Liu family is probably worried about Laihe because of the poison they poisoned by the concubine surnamed Fan
The Youlaihe produced in the North is actually not only found in the Liu family, but because it is rare, even in Beirong, it is used to supply high priests and the like as witch medicine, or as poison for magic archers. .
As for the Central Plains nobles, except for the fact that due to geographical reasons, the Liu family happened to occupy a place where the raw materials of Youlaihe were produced, and they also managed to obtain the formula, so that all members of the clan could easily obtain this medicine, it was extremely difficult to obtain this medicine. .
So for those who know, when mentioning Youlaihe in the Central Plains, everyone will think of the Liu family...
Shen Zangfeng said with a smile: "They didn't pay this money for nothing. I was joking when I said I let them take advantage. Sooner or later, the Su family and the Liu family will have to give an explanation to Wen Yaozi and Wei Liushu. Isn't this an opportunity? ? Shili and I are old friends and cousins, so how can we really care about each other? In this situation, we will support each other a lot in the future! "
Wei Changying thought about it carefully and couldn't help but said: "Wen Yazi's side is fine, this person is very cool. I'm not sure whether Uncle Wei Liu is willing to let the Su family pass like this?" (Not finished yet. Continued)
