Chapter 149 Changes
In order to celebrate the arrival of Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong and others, Meng De rewarded the whole army and had a banquet in Qingyunbao for three days!
Meng De did not hide his pride and love for this brother. He deliberately made such a big momentum that he wanted the military and civilian officials all over Hedong to know that Meng De and Chu Tianya were already brothers and their strength was broken. From then on, they will begin to create their vigorous cause!
At the same time, Meng De also sent a signal that since Chu Tianya came to Qingyunbao, Meng De did not intend to hide. He dared to be the enemy of the imperial court and the world for Chu Tianya.
What's low-key and avoiding suspicion? It's all bullshit in Qingyunbao!
In contrast, the previous Qixingzhai's attitude towards Chu Tianya has always been a little ambiguous. It not only wants to absorb him as a formal leader, but also cares about his ** identity. In the end, Guan Shan had no choice but to let Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong "temporarily" leave Qixingzhai, so as not to affect the acceptance of Zhao'an.
For Chu Tianya, it is two completely different treatments. In Qingyunbao, he felt an unprecedented sense of security and belonging, and really had a sense of "home". Even Xiao Linglong did not feel any discomfort under the shelter. Because she knows that Meng De is a sincere and virtuous virtuous comoral from the bottom of his heart. Especially for her, she is more like the sincere and caring of her family and brother.
Because in Meng De's opinion, she is already Chu Tianya's daughter-in-law. There is no doubt that that is her Meng De's sister. He will treat Xiao Linglong like Chu Tianya!
......
The growing growth of Qingyunbao has attracted the high attention of the government. Coupled with the great feast celebrations in recent days, the news soon spread to Taiyuan City.
When he heard about this, Xu Han was writing and approving some military books. Hearing what his general said about this, Xu Han's hand suddenly shook, and a big drop of ink fell on the paper and smashed it, splashing a messy ink flower.
"You mean that Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong just left Qixingzhai to Qingyunbao with a team of people and reunect with Meng De?" Xu Han was a little stunned.
"Exact! In order to celebrate the arrival of Chu Tianya, Meng De rewarded the whole castle for three days! Many exiles in Hedong heard that Xishan was so powerful that they went in groups to go! There used to be a lot of victorious soldiers and Chu soldiers stationed outside the city. They were restless when they heard about this. There have been several desertions in the past two days. According to the investigation, those deserters were the military patrol soldiers under the command of Chu Tianya in the past. They were about to escape from the army and went to Xishan, and several people had been arrested!"
"How can it be! Let the good officers and soldiers not do it, but they want to be thieves!" Xu Han was furious and got up the case, "The beheading of the deserter is shown to the public to set an example!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Xu Han was a little flustered for no reason!
"Chu Tianya, a traitor, I racked my brains and couldn't catch him, and let one side recruit soldiers and horses. After all, it became a big problem. What should I do?" Xu Han clenched his back and paced, and said to himself tightly, "Guanshan will lead troops to surrender in a few days. Qixingzhai has been divided, and the collapse is only between the morning and evening. I didn't think about it, but Qingyunbao rose up again. It's really a matter of pressing the gourd. There is no way to be peaceful in Hedong!"
At this time, the doorman came to report that General Yao Gu returned from the grain collection and asked to see him outside.
"Please!" Xu Han's heart was moved. Yao Gu was quite capable and had high prestige in the army. He was very good at suppressing mountain thieves and dealing with Xiangma. Why didn't you ask him a trick?
Yao Gu visited inside and reported on the grain collection first. Xu Han then told him about the recent movement in Xishan and asked him what his opinions he had.
"I didn't expect that Chu Tianya was so desperate that he fled to Xishan again!" Yao Gu was also a little annoyed. That day in Huanglong Valley, he let Chu Tianya slip under his eyelids, and now he is still bored when he thinks about it.
"Qingyunbao recruits the surrender and rebels to plunder the state and county. It is getting stronger and bigger and deeper, and should have been eliminated. In addition, now it has accepted the imperial criminal Chu Tianya, which is even more to be killed!" Xu Han said, "General Yao, I want to send troops to fight against Xishan. What do you think?"
Yao Gu frowned for a moment and said, "The last general thought it was not very feasible."
"What's the reason?"
"At present, Qixingzhai Guanshan has promised to accept the recruitment and will lead the troops to return in a few days." Yao Gu said, "If we send troops to attack Qingyunbao at this time, we will definitely shock Guan Shan and make him change his mind."
"Then let's just sit and watch Xishan grow?" Xu Han said, "Chu Tianya, a traitor, should not be underestimated. In the past, when he was alone, he could turn his hands into clouds and rain, making peace in the land of Hedong. Even the current heroes such as Tong Taishi and Wanyan Zonghan were planted in his hands. Now that he has a territory and soldiers and horses, he will be a great disaster for the country in the long run! If we don't put it out until it is burned, we will have a deep sin and in vain! - So I think that now that the wind and clouds are changing, compared with Qixingzhai, the affairs of Xishan are more important!"
"The Enfu knows the opportunity to adapt, and the last general admires it!" Yao Gu bowed with his fist, and his eyes turned a few times. He said, "There is an inextricable connection between Qixingzhai and Qingyunbao, which can be said to be intertwined. If we openly fight against one of them now, it is bound to cause the two sides to unite and fight against me. Why don't we hold back for a while? After completely disintegrating and absorbing the people and horses of Qixingzhai, we will ask the officials to order Guan Shan to go to conquer Qingyunbao and destroy the bandits! - Didn't the officials just want the head of Guanshan, but it's not easy to start? Just in time, if Guan Shan follows the order, there will be a injury when the two tigers fight with each other, but we are easy to sit and collect the benefits of the fisherman. If Guanshan does not allow it, we can follow the crime of resisting the decree, justly - kill it!"
"Wonderful!" Xu Han suddenly stroked his eyes and smiled, "These thieves of Qixingzhai are powerful in nesting on the mountain, and even the real women can't help it. But as long as they go down the mountain and turn to the government, it is the tiger that has pulled out its teeth. They can only listen to my orders and be driven by me. This move 'to destroy the bandits' is really wonderful. Even if he Guanshan has 10,000 unwillingness, the imperial edict is like a mountain, how can he be allowed to refute it? - Come on, quickly send an envoy to Qixing Mountain to urge, and let Guanshan lead the people to obey as soon as possible! Tell him that senior officials can't wait!"
That night, in the original Hedong Xuanfu Sidu Mansion, Wang Xun was allowed to see his father for the first time in more than a month.
But you can only see a box of ashes!
It turned out that many days ago, that is, only a few days after the battle of Huanglong Valley, Wang Yu had died of illness. Xu Han strictly locked the news, and even the people in the court did not know about it. Xu Han was afraid that Wang's death would affect the emotions of the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan and hinder the recruitment plan of Qixing Mountain.
In this battle of Taiyuan, Wang's role is too important. Among other things, tens of thousands of people have died together with Wang Yu in the army stationed outside the city.
In the battle of Taiyuan, the victory army, which was not particularly outstanding, also played with blood, tenacity and combat effectiveness. At the same time, it also had a deep affection and loyalty to Wang. In order to maintain the stability of the victory and victory army, Xu Han can only falsely claim that Wang is seriously ill and can't preside over the military affairs in person these days, and issued many military orders to the victory and victory army in the name of Wang, which finally stabilized the army.
Now Guanshan is about to return, and the first person to see must be Wang Qi. The paper couldn't wrap the fire, so Xu Han had to use some more means to make Wang Xun submit and replace Wang Xun's role.
Before the ashes and spiritual position of his deceased father, Wang Xun, who had been under house arrest for a long time, beat his chest and almost fainted.
Thinking of his father who died loyally for the country, he not only did not get the praise and respect he deserved, but became a prisoner, and even his son was not allowed to die... Wang Xun only had hatred in his heart, gritted his teeth and hatred! I almost couldn't help it. I worked hard with Xu Han on the spot!
"Wang Xun, I am also helpless about your father, so I didn't let you know until today." Xu Han said, "You also know that although the court has an order to arrest your father and son, I have never abused or embarrassed your father and son. However, your father is already sick and depressed. Although I try my best to treat him, he is also unable to return to heaven. Please feel sorry. At present, the country is employing people. I hope you can put the overall situation first, serve the country and share your worries!"
"Say it, what do you want me to do?" Wang Xun is not stupid. He knows that people have to bow their heads temporarily under the eaves, otherwise he is likely to be silenced by Xu Han now. It's expedient, save your life first. Sooner or later, settle accounts with Xu Han!
"Guanshan of Qixingzhai will soon lead people to return to the court. At that time, it should have been your father to come out to reassure Guan Shan and others. But your father's medicine stone has passed away, so I want you to come forward to receive Guanshan. Xu Han said, "There is nothing tedious to do. Just tell Guan Shan the truth about your father's death. In addition... the official has pardoned the innocence of your father and son and restored your office. The holy purpose is to do this.
Wang Xun took the imperial edict trembling all over and took a look, and immediately knelt down on the ground and cried.
"My condolences, my condolences..." Xu Han patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I have done my best to exonerate your father and son. It's just a pity that people are not as good as God. After all, the imperial edict came a little late, hey! ...Please don't blame me."
"The young general dare not..." Wang Xun reluctantly resisted the pain and said, "I have to get a help from the Enfu. My father will also be grateful to the spirit of heaven. The young general throws himself to the ground and is willing to die!"
"That's good." Xu Han sighed secretly, "Since you have been reinstated, you are still the vanguard of Hedong Xuanfu Division, and you will be under my command for the time being. In less than a day or two, Guan Shan will lead the crowd to surrender. I will ask General Yao to take charge of this matter, and you will assist him. Your responsibility is to dispel Guan Shan's doubts and tell him the truth about your father's death. There is no need to say anything else. It should be kept secret to the outside world for the time being, so as not to cause the military to fluctuate.
"Yes..." Wang answered quietly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he was swallowing Xu Han.
After comforting Wang Xun for a while, Xu Han left.
After going out, Xu Han gritted his teeth and said a sentence to Yao Gu - "This boy is murderous, and he obviously wants to take my life! - Keep an eye on him and don't let him make a big deal bad for me! If necessary, cut first and then play!"
"Yes!" Yao Gu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: What a cruel!
At this moment, on Qingyun Hall, the core place of Qingyunbao, Chu Tianya and Meng De sat in the first place side by side, listening to several Taiyuan military deserters who came to report on the situation in Taiyuan City.
"In this way, Xu Han rebuilt the destroyed wall of Taiyuan and temporarily stabilized the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan." After listening, Meng De said, "But there is no news about Wang's father and son, but why?"
"I remember that when I led the people to attack Huanglong Valley, the king was already exhausted, and he must have died soon." Chu Tianya said, "As expected, Wang Yu should have passed away long ago. In order not to affect the stability of the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, Xu Han must have blocked the news of Wang Yu's death. As for Wang Xun, he is a little useful to Xu Han and should still be alive. Moreover, this time, the imperial edict from the official family has pardoned the sins of the father and son of the Wang family. It is estimated that Xu Han will use Wang Xun again. But Xu Han will definitely not trust him and reuse him, or at most take advantage of him.
The horse sitting next patted his thigh angrily and sighed, "Wang Dutong! ...What a good person, what a pity!"
"Brother, what should we do now?" Meng De asked, "Guan Shan is about to lead people to Xu Han. I feel that Xu Han is not well-hearted. Do we just sit back and watch the goat enter the tiger's mouth and the Qixingzhai collapse?
Chu Tianya unconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Linglong, and Xiao Linglong really looked at her. The expression is calm, and the eyes are also calm.
It's just that because she is too calm, it seems very unnatural.
Chu Tianya withdrew his eyes. Since he had a plan, he was also powerful and decisive when he spoke - "We must not sit idly by and ignore it!"
