Rong Suihe shook his head and said: "The Jishan bandit has not returned yet, and this big boss is still useful. If you touch her now, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the Meng family to sow discord? Although the teacher and the Jishan bandit have a very close relationship, but He didn’t tell me much about this before his death, and I’m actually not sure about the relationship between the two, so I can only get along and explore each other... Besides, it’s a good thing that the boss’s conscience is still intact.”
He said calmly, "A gentleman can bully others, and people with integrity are always easier to deal with."
Due to his doubts about Huan Guanlan, Rong Suihe was inevitably wary of the Jishan bandits. Even if the head of the Wu family was a woman, he would definitely give up the throne after surrendering, so he could not be completely relieved. Therefore, he was not angry when Master Wu walked away. After thinking about it for a moment, he said to Gongsun Xi, "Go and talk to her later. After we gain a foothold in Western Xinjiang, we will pay this blood debt today." , we will definitely get it back for the innocent people in Western Xinjiang!"
Anyway, as long as Meng Jiaqian is still in Western Xinjiang by then, he will definitely be on the list of eradicating them. By the way, he can coax the head of Wu, why not
However, what Master Rong Suihe didn't know was that Master Wu, who had just returned to the cross-yard, had no anger and unwillingness in front of others, but was calm.
"Master, how are you doing?" A confidant came up to ask, "Does the prince have an explanation?"
"Of course I don't care. I don't know anything." Master Wu went to the top and sat down with his robe lifted up. He took the tea she handed over and drank it in one gulp. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually. It didn't matter. Said, "It's not surprising. If the people trained by Huan Guanlan don't even have this overall perspective, it would be very disappointing!"
The confidant said: "Then have you told him the military advisor's instructions?"
The Jishan bandit's military advisor is from Master Wu's own father's generation, and he is highly respected by the Jishan bandits. The reason why Master Wu can inherit his father's throne is closely related to his support.
This person was very resourceful and had reminded her before Master Wu came down from the mountain that if the Jishan bandits succeeded in ambushing Meng Jiaqian, Meng Jiaqian would only Killing good people and taking credit is the way to go.
Since the Meng family's actions have been estimated, the military advisor certainly has some countermeasures to teach Master Wu.
"Tell him what to do?" Master Wu snorted lightly and said, "Huan Guanlan's disciple is still a closed disciple. As long as he has obtained the inheritance of his teacher, three or four out of ten, do you think such intrigues are needed by others? remind?"
"Master, why do you think you are not happy that the prince has a city right now?" A confidant asked curiously, "However, we have surrendered to him now. It is said that King Gaomi and the Meng family are both deep-rooted and powerful people. , if the county king is not more powerful, our future will be slim!"
When Master Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said with a complex expression: "It's not that I'm unhappy... I just thought of some things from the past."
She shook her head and said with an unsightly expression, "As a disciple of Huan Guanlan, Mi Zhen would not take Li Shu seriously like this. It really makes people feel that things are different and people are different: Huan Guanlan has many ruthless methods against his political opponents, but He has always loved Li Shu very much. I remember that when he was in power, he paid the most attention to caring for the people, even in remote places like Western and Northern Xinjiang. He also sent envoys several times to check on the people's situation... You said he would close the door for disciples to teach. How do you feel when you are indifferent to the tragic death of innocent people?"
"..." The confidant smiled awkwardly, "I think he must be very disappointed with the emperor, right?"
Master Wu pursed his lips: Could the experience of that imperial master be easily summed up in the word "disappointment"
But now is not the time to be sad for spring and autumn. She lowered her eyes for a moment, then raised her head again, and she had resumed the vigorous and resolute behavior that a leader should have. "Cut the grass without eradicating the roots, but the spring breeze will bring new life! It took so many brothers' lives to make it possible." After knocking Meng Jiaqian down, how can he be allowed to stand up again by killing good people and taking credit?!"
Her bright eyes flashed with a cold light like a blade, "You go to the Wei Xu Department. It's time to repay the favor they owed us back then!"
At the same time, Meng Jiaqian, who woke up from a coma again, was also talking to his surroundings: "... Mi Zhen's preparations for this journey to the west far exceeded our prior expectations. And the Jishan bandits were in Western Xinjiang It has been entrenched for many years and has a deep foundation that is beyond what we can compare to when we come all the way. Now, even if they have their heads in hand, they can send them to Chang'an to deal with them, but they will never sit back and let us save their face."
The left and right said: "There are no chickens or dogs left in those villages. After beheading, the corpses were all burned without leaving any traces. Even if the imperial court sent envoys to check, it would be of no avail! There are all the princes of the Meng family in the court. , even if the Gaomi King's faction wants to question it, it is difficult to explain clearly. After all, it is known to the world that the Gaomi King and I, the Meng family, are enemies. If there is no evidence for the accusation, we can say that they are avenging their private revenge and framing them! They are the soldiers of Hanbian Frontier. What you do with your heart!”
"But you were a bit negligent!" Meng Jiaqian had been seriously injured since leaving Northern Xinjiang. In order to get the upper hand, he strictly urged his men to rush forward without taking a good rest. He was so angry that he fainted after being attacked before. Although this In the past few days, his subordinates had visited many doctors, and the life-saving pills he carried were never cut off. He was also unable to regain his strength. At this moment, his voice was a little higher, and his vision suddenly went dark, and he almost fainted again. He quickly closed his eyes and rested his mind. , paused for a while, then opened his eyes again under the frightened gazes from the left and right, and said feebly, "Western Border is a frontier, and there are foreign races! Although these foreign races have submitted to my country for a long time, they are not as unruly as Ruru. Tame, but whether it’s Jishan Bandits or Mi Zhen, who knows if he has any collusion with them?!”
"Now the war is raging in Northern Xinjiang. If the aliens in Western Xinjiang start a riot and target us, even if the elders in the court are willing to defend it, how can King Gaomi let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury? When the public resentment is incited, the elders We consider the overall situation..."
He said coldly, "There is no possibility that we will become abandoned!"
The people on the left and right suddenly became awe-inspiring: "For this plan, please give me your general instructions!"
"Send someone to contact Ni Jidao, Dai Gulian and Lou Peng!" The three Meng Jiagan mentioned are the three current leaders of the Western Xinjiang Army. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Tell them, Mi Zhen Not only did they accept the Jishan bandits, but they also had the title of governor and the title of a county prince. The next step must be to find an excuse to seize the military power in their hands! Even if they wanted to join Mi Zhen, they were already behind the Jishan bandits. Could it be that the dignified generals of the imperial court, he Do you want to succumb to gangsters or even avoid being a prostitute? The only way out for them now is to cooperate with us and fight against the secrets together!"
"If they do this, in addition to getting protection from the Meng family..."
Meng Jiaqian narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I remember that several of my aunts have concubines, and several of them have reached the age of getting married? Dad has many children, especially girls. As an elder brother, I give birth to several concubines. My sister is looking for a good family, and if I want to do this, daddy will allow me to do it!"
After thinking about it for a while, they all smiled: "The general is so kind. Those three people are just plain eaters, how can they not obey his orders happily?"
This is also true. Ni Jidao and the others were originally worried about the arrival of Rong Suihe and Meng Jiaqian, because the three of them had been stationed in Western Xinjiang for a long time. Due to the tranquility here, the court's attention has been in the north, and they have allocated funds year after year. They are weak and have few people to supervise them. Over time, the energy they have in their chests wears away, and they gradually just goof around and make money.
The corruption of the Western Xinjiang Army in recent years is directly related to them, and they know this in their hearts.
The main thing is that the foreign races here have been assimilated by the Han family very well, and there are no troublemakers. They are all happy people of Da Mu. Therefore, the army is deteriorating. In addition to being unable to do anything about the Jishan bandits, there is nothing they can do. There has been some big trouble.
However, the King of Gaomi and representatives of the Meng family came in person, and they would definitely not be able to survive.
In this situation, it is not easy to pack up and go back to the hometown. I am afraid that these two young and energetic people will not only want military power, but also want to use their heads and even the lives of the whole family to establish their authority.
If it weren't for the fear of the power of King Gaomi and the Meng family, these three people would be eager to take off their seals and abscond these days.
Now, after being persuaded by the person sent by the Meng family, and with the promise of getting married to the Meng family, I was immediately moved: "We have not been able to eat well and sleep well these days, lest we be killed to scare the monkeys and make the two juniors a stepping stone. Now Since General Meng sent someone to persuade us and promised to marry his sister, why not go with the flow and rely on this backer to prevent Prince Mi Zhen from attacking us when he arrives in Yizhou?"
"The reason why General Meng sent people here at this moment and promised such generous terms is because he just suffered a complete defeat at the hands of Prince Mi Zhen." Dai Gulian frowned. Although they are stupid and greedy, after all, they have been in Western Xinjiang for many years. , the information is relatively well-informed, and he knew early on that Meng Jiaqian was ambushed by Rong Suihe and the Jishan bandits, and suffered heavy losses.
He hesitated at this moment, "Now he has even put forward the conditions for marrying his sister. Obviously he is in urgent need of our help... What if, I mean what if, what if we help him but he can't defeat Prince Mi Zhen, this Could it be that we got on a broken ship?"
"But Prince Mi Zhen hasn't sent anyone to contact us until now." What Lou Peng is worried about is, "Who knows what he has in mind for us? After all, it is said that this prince has both talent and beauty, which is rare. He is very capable. If he were not a member of the clan, he would have been the top scorer in high school at the age of 10! Now that he has won a great victory in the contest with General Meng, he must be very high-spirited and may not like you and me. If in his heart Thinking that people like us would be better off trying to kill him, but we are stupidly waiting to surrender to him, this is a joke!"
Ni Jidao said: "I think so too. Although General Meng's defeat was miserable, the Meng family and the King of Gaomi have been at odds for many years, and there is no sign of a winner in the near future. If the Meng family does not fall, General Meng will be defeated again. How miserable can it be? After all, he is the beloved son of General Hussar. If he is really in dire straits, how could General Hussar not care about him?"
"We have made a lot of money in the past few years in Western Xinjiang. Even after following General Meng, we still lost to Prince Mi Zhen. The worst we can do is to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of the throne, and return to the Central Plains with our savings to become a rich man. It will not be difficult to enjoy our old age in peace. .”
"If we don't have a backer, God knows who will be cheaper in the future if you and I have worked hard and saved for many years."
Another example of Rong Suihe and his party on the road, "It is said that Xu Lianshan, the bodyguard of Prince Mi Zhen, was a pirate. On the way to our Western Xinjiang, he stole the carriages of several wealthy households and the Prince and his party. The three or five chariots are all the result of that time! As the saying goes, there is a master just like a guard. Who knows if Prince Mi Zhen will look back at us and become interested in our family's property? "
Dai Gulian and Lou Peng were both silent. After a while, Fang nodded solemnly: "In that case, let's reply to General Meng immediately and discuss countermeasures together before Mi Zhen and his party arrive at Yizhou City!"
