Chapter 82: Wind and Cloud
Thinking that General Chen Hezhi was actually fighting side by side with a villain like Wu Sihuai, Xu Fei couldn't help but be worried.
How to make a confrontation with a strong enemy in front, but a sinister villain behind it?
What's more, Brother Chu Jinghong told himself that the chivalrous Chinese people in the Yanyulou in Jiangnan often helped General Chen Hezhi's army to detect and raid in the border fortress, so this General Chen Hezhi attached great importance to the chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes. If it is assassinated, it is afraid that it will be the worst thing for the chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes.
I only heard Mr. Zhuge say: "At this time, it is difficult to have room and time for maneuver, the barbarians in the northeast are menacing, and General Chen Hezhi went to meet the enemy.
Although they all know that this Wu Sihuai has a ghost in his heart, if he leads his troops to quell the chaos at this time, there is no ironclad evidence to prove that this Wu Sihuai is connected to foreign countries. Second, at the time of the foreign invasion, if the Chinese and Han domestic armies fought each other. I am afraid that the morale of the border soldiers will be greatly damaged. ”
Therefore, General Chen Hezhi did not hesitate to save people in the well, putting his personal life and death at risk. I was prepared for the worst. If Wu Sihuai really abandons the national righteousness, he will communicate with foreign countries and lead wolves into the house. Then it is even more important to take all possible measures. ”
"If the royal blood is damaged, the country will not be a country. At that time, the country of Huahan will fall apart, and the people in the world will be devastated. ”
Xu Fei saw that Mr. Zhuge was not on the same road as him. Then he said: "Mr. Zhuge has the world in mind and has important matters, so I will go back to Kyoto first to save my best friend Changshenghou." After Mr. De finds out, he will come to Kyoto to discuss the overall situation. ”
Then there was a knock on the door and a man walked in, and said, "No, you are not allowed to go anywhere now." ”
Xu Fei looked back and saw that it was the old woman of the White Feather Forest. This person is called Nangong Cong'an, and she turned out to be the eldest daughter of an official eunuch.
His father was ordered by the imperial court to come to the grassland to negotiate with the tribes, and on the way back, one of his father's guards was a strong man. Coveted Nangong Cong'an's appearance, and wanted to plot misdeeds at night.
After being discovered, he became angry and embarrassed, and used his skills to kill many guards and Nangong Cong'an's father one by one, wanting to forcibly be unreasonable.
When Nangong Cong'an was ashamed and angry, he had an epiphany and killed this guard.
By the time the steppe tribes discovered it, a huge forest of pasture grass had risen from the grassland. Everyone was very surprised, and they searched inside and found Nangong Cong'an, who had passed out.
After getting this news, the White Crow clan took Nangong from Anyu to the White Feather Forest, and this residence was more than fifty years.
From a girl in the prime of cardamom, she has become an old woman who is close to her prime. Because of the great changes in the family when he was a child, he has a very eccentric temperament, but his heart is very gentle and kind. He is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
I heard Nangong Cong'an say, "You kid escaped with his life this time." Seriously injured. I used the Misty Spider Silk unique to the White Feather Forest to glue your wound together. Drugs to stop bleeding and build muscle were then used. ”
"You look like nothing right now. The skin and flesh are as usual, but the wound inside has not healed. If you encounter a strong enemy on the road, before the enemy hurts you, you will have to bleed for a long time. Your injuries are all critical, and several of them have already hurt your internal organs. If it weren't for the fog spider silk, what kind of miracle doctor would be helpless. To be honest, I will raise it for ten days and a half months before I let you go. ”
When Xu Fei heard this, he secretly complained bitterly, and it took ten days and a half months to leave, and this Changsheng Hou didn't know if he could afford it or not.
Nangong Cong'an had long known Xu Fei's thoughts, and said: "The Gu worm in your friend makes people fall asleep, and it does not affect the operation of qi and blood in the slightest. As long as someone is carefully served, move the limbs. Don't say a month, even ten or eight years with antidote will recover as before. You will recuperate here in peace. Bring the pills. ”
With these words, Nangong went from an old hand full of wrinkles to Xu Fei's nose.
Xu Fei had no choice but to take out the pill given by Mr. Zhuge yesterday from his arms and gently put it in Nangong Cong'an's old hand.
That Nangong Cong'an clutched the pill in his hand, didn't say a word, and turned around and went out. Xu Fei was dumbfounded at this time, and now it makes no sense to rush back to Kyoto.
I also understood in my heart that this was Nangong Cong'an's worry about his physical injury. seems to be cold, but in fact he is a soft-hearted and kind person.
Not to mention that Xu Fei is recuperating here, Xu Fei has been delayed for a long time. Inside and outside the capital, the border fortresses are undergoing turbulent changes.
The general trend of the world has been surging, and no one can stop it. The changes of this era, the turmoil of the Mandate of Heaven has begun the prelude.
There were 100,000 defenders stationed in Kyoto to protect the Kyoto Division. The emperor personally guarded 10,000 dragon and tiger soldiers. The commander of this dragon and tiger soldier has always been the favorite general of Zhou Xiongqi's subordinates, Xu Pestle.
His strength is exquisite. Brave and invincible, the people in the rivers and lakes are called tiger idiots, and he has been the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army under Zhou Xiongqi for six years.
And the 100,000 defenders guarding Kyoto were divided into ten. Each department has two commanders.
In order to compete for these many positions of leadership, all forces are infiltrating, rebelling, and buying. For a time, it was complicated. The power of the army is the source of Zhou Xiongqi's power as prime minister. He was born in the army, both civil and military. In the Han Kingdom of China, it used to be a god-like existence.
Waiting for people to be nearly middle-aged. The forces in the family arranged for him to abandon the military and follow the literature and enter the court. Slowly appreciated by the emperor and promoted to the position of prime minister.
This person is eloquent and strategic, and there are many people available among the military generals. Especially from the army, he has great prestige in the army.
Therefore, among the 110,000 garrisons, not only the most important position of the Dragon and Tiger Army was held by the henchman Xu Pestle. Most of the commanders of the 100,000 guards were their own cronies.
But he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is quite arrogant, and he can even be said to be stubborn. Although he has great talents, he can't be as good as he is.
Because it has been the home of the official eunuch since he was a child, and he married with the royal family, he only attaches importance to the power in the temple, and despises the heroes on the rivers and lakes, thinking that they are just some rabble. Not enough to get things done.
The Jiangnan Yanyu Building with Chu Jinghong is also lukewarm. This Dong Bufan and Qin Shubai colluded with each other, and Xiongqi didn't take it to heart this week. Because Kyoto has military power, some power above the court cannot shake its foundation.
Even if Chu Jinghong sent intelligence to Zhou Xiongqi several times, saying that the supremes in the army were infiltrating, Dong Bufan's Xiliang forces were about to move, and Zhou Xiongqi ignored them.
Chu Jinghong was worried, but there was nothing he could do. The only person who can persuade the prime minister this week is General Chen Hezhi. However, General Chen Hezhi is far away at the border pass, and there is no date for when he will return to the DPRK.
Zhou Xiongqi is now in his prime minister's mansion, thinking about the arrangements for the 100,000 commanders to protect Kyoto.
Although all parties are vying for power, among the twenty chief and deputy leaders, ten of them are their own henchmen. Three of the deputy commanders are also their own people, collectively known as the Thirteen Taibao.
Grasp the military power of Kyoto is as solid as a rock, and the other seven deputy commanders. The four deputy commanders were Qin Shubai's people, and three were infiltrated and occupied by the Xiliang forces brought by Dong Bufan.
But after all, the number of commanders only accounts for 30% of the commanders, and they are all deputy positions, so they can rest easy.
What I am more upset about is the position of the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army. According to the ancestral system of the Hua Han Kingdom, every three years in the military personnel selection competition, the winner is selected one candidate.
His subordinate Tiger Idiot Xu Pestle is extraordinary, and he is extremely loyal. He has sat in the position of commander of the Dragon and Tiger Army twice in a row.
In this year's competition, all forces in the Chinese Han army have sent candidates to seek this vital position.
Except for Wu Sihuai, the border is now tight, and he can't free up manpower. This Dong Bufan also transferred a master from Xiliang, the nest of his forces. and Liu Bei, the hero of the land of Nabashu, also sent Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals, to come.
and the Cao family is obviously already fighting on two fronts, dealing with pirate attacks along the coast on the one hand, and fighting with Sun Quan in Nadong Yingdao Prefecture on the other hand.
actually sent two masters to participate in the written test, which shows how huge and strong the talent strength of his subordinates is.
But the Central Plains still has the final say. The Thirteen Taibao under his command, and the tiger idiot Xu Pestle are all first-class characters, and it is expected that there will be no problems in this competition.
Where do you know the sudden change of wind and clouds!
