"What Lao Ni said is right!" The three of them immediately stopped pretending to be unconscious and had trouble with their legs. After dressing up, they gathered at Dai's house again by chance and discussed through gritted teeth, "That ruthless guy Son, are you determined not to give us a way to survive!!!"
"I wonder which of the kid's tendons are wrong?!" Dai Gulian said bitterly, "As far as the situation in Western Xinjiang is concerned, their old people who have been in business for many years feel that they can't hold on. How can he, a junior who has just arrived, come from? Confidence?! Doesn’t he think that after passing the No. 1 exam, he is the best in heaven and can do anything?! Isn’t he arrogant and ignorant of life and death!!!”
Lou Peng said with lingering fear: "He himself is afraid of dying, but he doesn't want to drag us innocent people with him. Isn't it true that he has sinister intentions?"
"Even General Meng and the others withdrew, which shows that the Meng family was not optimistic about Yizhou at that time." Ni Jidao said bitterly, "Originally, the supreme commander of the Western Xinjiang Army should be General Meng. He is General Yunhui, and his rank is higher than ours. They are all high. If you leave without permission at that time, the court will definitely question you a few months later. Is it possible that with the support of the Meng family, how could a direct descendant of him suffer such a disadvantage? "
"As for us, even if Mi Zhen takes away the military power but does not dismiss us, we naturally have the responsibility to defend our territory in Yizhou!"
"If we lose our land, Mi Zhen will certainly bear the brunt... But I am the legitimate son of King Gaomi, and with the support of King Gaomi, it is the three of us who should not be treated as scapegoats!"
"Otherwise, Mi Zhen went there at that time, and the military power was also taken away. Why do you want us to go to the city to supervise the battle?!"
"To put it bluntly, we saw the trembling soldiers on the battlefield and went to the tower. When the soldiers saw it, it would be nice if they didn't feel discouraged. It wouldn't be able to inspire them at all!"
"It seems to me that the kid has already thought about it. If we don't show up, something will go wrong later. At least it can be said that he relied on the power of the governor and the king to take over everything, and we are not allowed to get involved. Then we don’t need to bear any responsibility.”
"But we showed up at the city gate. If something happens after the month, we can naturally blame it on us!"
"When General Meng first came to Western Xinjiang, did he take the initiative to contact us?"
"When he left, he didn't say hello to anyone. Even the girl we gave him to serve on his bed was locked in the backyard and left alone!"
"we say… "
"Could it be that he and Mi Zhen both feel that Xijiang cannot be defended that time, so they can reach an agreement and use the three of us as backers in exchange for their smooth passage in the court a month later?!"
Dai Gulian and Lou Peng both changed their expressions after saying that: Rong Shuihe and Meng Jiaqian, as representatives of the Gaomi King and the Meng family respectively, both parachuted into Western Xinjiang. One was the highest official with no administrative presence, and the other was the highest official with no military presence. General, it is said that something went wrong in Western Xinjiang, and neither of them can escape, otherwise they will be held accountable.
But was the former the legitimate son of the King of Gaomi? How many sons did King Gaomi have in total
The latter is the direct grandson of Zheng Guogong. Although Zheng Guogong has many grandsons, everyone knows whether the Meng family is the one favored by Meng Boqin and Choqu.
Ni Jidao and the others were used to being domineering on the frontier, and their vigilance was lax. They didn't pay attention to the situation in the court in those years. Naturally, they didn't know the specific attitudes of King Gaomi and Zheng Guogong towards their descendants. I believe that these two giants will never give up their heirs.
Then they felt that Xijiang would definitely not be able to be defended.
Then, wouldn't Ni Jidao's speculation make sense
There was silence in the room for a while. After a while, Dai Gulian said in a trembling voice: "If it's true, it's like that... Then what should we do?!"
Ni Jidao remained silent, and Lou Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After a moment, he said with a forced smile: "Didn't Old Ni just make it clear? Since Damu was wrong and we are unkind, we can't blame us for being unjust. ! Did he see the truth and say that we and our family members are all rewarded by Da Mu? In the final analysis, those rewards are not achieved by us fighting with swords and guns, are they what we deserve of course?!"
"In this case, at that time, the two great figures in the imperial court were trying to join forces to prevent us from surviving. If we don't take refuge in Ruru, how can we wait for death?"
"The question is whether Ming Mi Zhen controls the whole city." Dai Gulian looked at him, "If he really reaches an agreement with the Meng family and asks us to use the three of us to explain to the court... I think he will give us a secret night Is there any chance to go out and join Ruru?"
Lou Peng froze immediately.
Ni Jidao comforted them: "Didn't you say it before? We think that the western border cannot be defended, so why don't the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou City in the east think so? Just like Bu Naoruming, who was forced by Mi Zhen's child's lust. , I have to bite the bullet and defend the city! Just give them a chance, why worry about that kid not falling?!"
"After all, he has only been in Western Xinjiang for a few days? He doesn't even know him at the Western Xinjiang army camp. He wants everyone in such a big city to listen to him... How did he get such a big face?!"
"Then without further ado, we'd better take action tomorrow morning, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" Dai Gulian and Lou Peng thought for a moment, and Dong made up their minds, "If we can avoid being caught by the secrets, we must act separately. , each should find his trusted subordinates?"
That matter was decided, and the three of them went back to their homes, packed up their belongings, contacted their confidants, and made arrangements for their families... It was a windy and snowy night, and the stars and the moon were hidden, which made them somewhat relieved, thinking that they were unaware of the ghosts.
However, early in the morning of the next month, the sudden appearance of Jingguan in the east of Ximen made all the soldiers at the city head pale in shock!
If it was built with the heads of Dai Gulian and Lou Peng, as well as their most cherished children, concubines, and confidants, it would prove their identities. The snow beside them made it easy for them to carry them from the city. Objects such as soft paper and seals came out.
"Is it true that General Dai and General Lou, who are second only to the prince and general Meng in Western Xinjiang, are trying to defect from the Ruru camp at night, let alone others?" When the soldiers were frightened, a piece of news quickly spread. All over the city, "Ruru is cruel. In the northern Xinjiang, every time he encountered his people, no matter whether they were soldiers or civilians, men, women, old or young, they would not leave alive! Even a beautiful woman, after being ravaged, could not wield a knife?" Xiang Xiang! Do you really expect them to have any compassion for such a foreign race that is worse than beasts?!"
"If you don't want to be slaughtered like a pig or a dog, then pick up the knife and fight with them!!!"
"Your Majesty, the view of the capital in the east of the city certainly shocked the whole city. Many soldiers and civilians plucked up the courage and decided to live or die with the city. However, there were also many people who were frightened out of their courage and became even more afraid of Ruru." Half a month later. , taking advantage of Rong Suihe walking to the east city wall for lunch, the Didong people came quietly to report, "Some people even plan to plot against Buju. The wrong warehouse is full of... The king of the county, you are going to poison your legs in exchange for Ruru's openness." !”
Rong Suihe didn't say anything, and the guards on the left and right said in disbelief: "In the past two months, Jishan Camp killed a group of soldiers who didn't want to advance and got by. That was when Ruru first invaded the country and had not yet attacked the city! It was said at that time Isn’t it blood flowing all over the streets, scaring the crowd and scattering in all directions... Why have they forgotten their lesson in just a few days?!"
"Why is it that Ruru knows how to kill people, so our knives aren't fast?!"
Moreover, "Dai Gulian and Lou Peng's family have their heads built in the east. Where do those people get their confidence? Will Ruru spare them?! Do they have brains?!"
"Nothing else, Jishanying's legs are too soft!" At that time, Gongsun Yingdun came over with his rice bowl to ask Rong Suihe for some instructions. Hearing this, he glanced around and saw that no one from Jishanying was there, so he decisively Interjected, "They killed hundreds of people but couldn't calm down the situation! I really don't know how they were able to control the Western Xinjiang in the first place? Is it possible that Ni Ji thought they were too useless and got used to it? They replaced the execution legs of our Tortoiseshell Island, and they showed up casually. One leg, I guarantee that Mancheng is in the east, and I will never forget it in my life!"
"That's not true!" The guards felt that it made sense. "It depends on how you kill. Although it is quick to kill an owl with a knife, it will not be a big shock after all... Please no, the prince, send the brother who was responsible for executions in the past." Help those idiots wake up?"
Rong Suihe looked at Gongsun Yingdun with a smile.
Until he saw Gongsun Yingdun shrinking his head and not saying anything, and the guards around him realized that they were all watching their noses and hearts, they calmly said: "What did you tell me before?"
"... Jishan Ying and Wuyi Ying are both your subordinates, just like your right-hand man. It depends on their ability, not their seniority." Gongsun Yingdun replied timidly.
Rong Suihe said in a gentle tone: "Then what did I just say?"
"... Zhudong is guilty!" Gongsun Yingdun wished he could bury himself in his job, secretly regretting his quick words.
It was too late to regret it at that time. Rong Suihe announced on the spot that he would be relieved of all his posts. He was demoted from the fifth-ranked Donggui Delang General in charge of the city wall guard to the deputy lieutenant of Yihui from the seventh-ranked East in one fell swoop. , who replaced him was Yan Kezheng, a captain of the Jishan camp who was promoted from the sixth rank in Zhaowu, and was promoted to a ranger general from the fifth rank in Zhaowu, responsible for guarding the northern city wall.
After Le Yangwen learned about this, he came to intercede with Gongsun Yingdun: "Bu Nao made an unintentional remark, and because Jishan camp followed the rules of the army and practiced undisclosed military laws, he was not proficient in punishment. The previous killing of chickens to scare monkeys , It is true that he did not do his job well and did not have the deterrent effect it should have. Why should the prince be so strict? After all, he is the nephew of the prince. "
Rong Suihe said: "Whether it is Wuyiying or Jishanying, there are many people who are better than him in terms of ability and ability. The reason why he was allowed to take office in the first place was because he had only received a letter from Brother Chang'an two months ago. , let Gu give him more opportunities to hone his skills. Gu has already made an exception for him so far. He doesn't want to unite his colleagues and work hard, but does he have the time to form cliques? That will make him continue to be alone. Who can rest assured?! Then He has made up his mind about the matter, I don’t need to say more!”
He added, "Let Yan Kezheng do his job well and don't think too much!"
Seeing that he was resolute, Le Yangwen didn't say anything more about the matter. He just wanted to go back and tell Yan Kezheng to be more energetic and not to slack off, because Rong Suihe seemed to be unfulfilled by what Gongsun Yingdun said, but in fact, there The basic skills of the former Shao Haizhu were not up to scratch.
No matter how you say it, he is not the son of the Sea Lord. Although his eldest brother was there earlier, he could not take the position of the Young Sea Lord. However, he was born to the east of the Sea Lord. He has been influenced by everything since he was a child, and his knowledge and common sense are better than ordinary people. I also followed Rong Suihe for many years at Huan Guanlan's Leg Didong. Even if I didn't learn well, I would still remember a few things.
Later, the Gongsun family was changed, and he became the young sea master. Sun Su, the original master, took him with him and trained him hard. He was somewhat less powerful than the sea master. After the failure of planning the change of Tortoiseshell Island, he suffered three swords and six holes. After the punishment, he has been following Rong Suihe since then.
Rong Suihe said he could treat him as a slave, but after all, he was the biological flesh and blood of his savior and sworn brother, and he could actually be trained and taught as a half-disciple.
Compared to the many wild men in Wuyi Camp and Jishan Camp, Gongsun Yingdun was actually someone who had a solid foundation and had seen big events.
Le Yangwen was naturally worried that Yan Kezheng's performance would be poor and it would be a small matter to lose Jishanying's face. But for his group, if Yizhou city was lost, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Those faint-headed people in Buluo City should not stay in Buluo." Le Yangwen thought that Yan Kezheng had replaced Gongsun Yingdun. Although he did not tolerate Sleeping Crane's intention, he should also give Wuyiying some face, so as not to cause trouble between the two sides. When a disagreement arose, he suggested, "Why don't you ask the executioners from the Wuyi Camp to come forward?"
"No need for that." However, Rong Suihe shook his head, with a half-smile on his face, "There is someone who is most suitable to do that. I just sent the message to him... I must have been doing it at that time?"
