348, discord, the wall
In the Ezhou military camp, Shang Rong was sitting behind the bookcase in the big tent and looking at the military book in his hand. It's just that his eyes are a little empty when he looks at the book of soldiers, and obviously, his mind is not really on the book in his hand. His previous mention of the arming of the first-line gorge was rejected by Wei Hongfei twice. Not only that, Wei Hongfei also changed his previous defense a lot, and forbade Shang Rong to go to the first-line gorge in person, so that now, Shang Rong can only judge how the first-line gorge is deployed from some news from his subordinates. Even if the first-line gorge is really dangerous, it can't resist defending itself to death. Although Wei Hongfei is not dead, he is not very clever in his defense from Shang Rong's eyes. That is to say, there is a natural danger of a first-line gorge, and if it is changed to another place, it is really hard to say whether it can be so calm now.
On the other hand, Shang Rong was also a little uneasy about the quietness on Xianning's side. He had a little understanding of Wei Gongzi's style of acting, and such calmness was obviously unreasonable. But Shang Rong, who was thrown to the rear and couldn't access first-hand information, couldn't judge what Wei Junmo's idea was for a while.
Outside the big tent, there was a sound of messy and hurried footsteps. Shang Rong looked up, and before he could get up, he saw that the curtain of the big tent had been lifted, and Wei Hongfei had sent someone in.
Shang Rong's face couldn't help but sink, "King of Jingjiang County!" "Even if Wei Hongfei is the king of the county, he is now the coach. But in terms of the grade in the army, he Shang Rong is not much lower than Wei Hongfei. In this way, he directly brought people in without even making a report, which was really too deceitful.
Wei Hongfei was not ambiguous, and said sharply: "Shang Rong, you are so bold!" ”
Shang Rong's heart sank slightly, but his face did not change in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh? I don't know what General Ben did to make the King of Jingjiang County break into my big tent so rudely? ”
Wei Hongfei sneered and said, "You don't have to pretend, let me ask you, where did Nangong Hui and Shang Nian'er go?" ”
Shang Rong lowered his eyes and said coldly: "What does King Jingjiang mean?" The little girl and Hui'er have been... It's a bit too much for the county king to ask this! Wei Hongfei snorted coldly, "Excessive? Killed by a bandit? But why did General Ben get the news that someone had seen them in Chenzhou? ”
"What do you mean?" Shang Rong gritted his teeth.
Wei Hongfei said: "Ben Shuai now suspects that you and Nangong Hui have secretly taken refuge in Wei Junmo and King Yan, what do you have to say?" Do I remember... Isn't your son-in-law Nangong Hui Nangong Mo's second brother-in-law? Shang Rong did not show weakness, and said proudly: "The old man still remembers that the king of Jingjiang County and the prince of Wei are father and son." ”
"Presumptuous!" Wei Hongfei was furious, what he hated most now was that someone mentioned Princess Changping and Wei Junmo in front of him. As if no matter what he did, just mentioning these two people was a sign of failure in his life.
How could Shang Rong be frightened by him after decades of fighting on the battlefield? He sneered and said, "General Ben is loyal to the imperial court, how can you change it with a few words of nonsense?" Before, it was for the sake of giving you some face for the sake of being sent by His Majesty, who do you think you are? ”
Wei Hongfei was so angry that his face turned blue for a while and purple for a while, but he had to face this reality. Without conclusive evidence, he really couldn't move Shang Rong. Although Shang Rong has only come to Ezhou every two years, Shang Rong's prestige in the Great Xia army is still good. At least, it is much stronger than him, the county king who has not been on the battlefield for more than twenty years.
Even if he took over Ezhou Wei by the will of His Majesty, if it wasn't for Shang Rong to retreat himself, he wouldn't want to control Ezhou Wei so smoothly. If he wanted to do something to Shang Rong based on just a few rumors, the generals under him would never agree. If Shang Rong is forced to be in a hurry, and Shang Rong is really reversed, I am afraid that many soldiers in the army will follow Shang Rong, and he will be in danger at that time.
This time is the last chance for him and the Jingjiang County Palace, and there must be no loss. Wei Hongfei secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.
However, in front of so many people, he was ridiculed by Shang Rong like this. If Wei Hongfei didn't do anything, he was afraid that the people under his hands would look down on him, not to mention that Wei Hongfei was obviously not so broad-minded, staring at Shang Rong for a long time, Wei Hongfei gritted his teeth and said: "Disrespectful to the boss, pull it down, and it will be thirty boards!" ”
Shang Rong sneered and was silent, not caring much about such a thing as being hit by the thirty boards. He didn't believe that Wei Hongfei dared to beat him to death.
"County King, think twice!" Shang Rong didn't have anything to say, but the few generals who came in with Wei Hongfei couldn't sit still. Originally, Wei Hongfei came to Shang Rong angrily and hurriedly, and they disagreed, they had a good relationship with Shang Rong, and some even followed Shang Rong for many years. They naturally understand who Shang Rong is. I just thought it would be better to find General Shang to make it clear, so as not to make things bigger and more twists and turns. Who knows that Wei Hongfei has no evidence at all, and he doesn't know where he heard the rumors and then came out of thin air. It looks more like he wants to find trouble with General Shang, and now he is going to beat Shang Rong because of some disrespect to the boss. Now it's wartime, and the deputy marshal of the First Army will be bedridden by beating the board, how much impact it will have Wei Hongfei don't know? What's more... Where did General Shang disrespect him? In these years, you are allowed to break into other people's big accounts and slander, and no one is allowed to tell the truth?
In the final analysis, Xiao Qianye parachuted Wei Hongfei to command Ezhou Wei, and the generals below were also unconvinced. Even if it is to transfer another general who is at the same level as General Shang or even a little lower, it is better than a general who has not been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, right?
Wei Hongfei seemed to understand what these generals were thinking. It was precisely because of this that he became even more angry, "Shut up! This king is the boss! ”
A young general couldn't stand it a little and said, "Even if the prince is the boss, he can't declare a personal vendetta, right?" Now that the rebels on the Xianning side are eyeing each other, the prince has abolished General Shang, and when the time comes, you will personally charge into battle? ”
"Presumptuous!"
"Shut up!"
Wei Hongfei and Shang Rong's voices sounded in unison, Shang Rong glanced at Wei Hongfei, whose face turned black with anger, and said to the young general: "Don't be rude to the king of Jingjiang County." At this time, it is the general who is wrong, you don't need to say it anymore. ”
"But, General Shang ......"
"Go down!" Shang Rong said in a deep voice. The young general had no choice but to retreat into the crowd. Looking at this scene, Wei Hongfei hated Shang Rong even more in his heart. Obviously, he is the commander of the first army, but in the eyes of these people, I am afraid that he is not as good as Shang Rong's finger, right? Damn it!
In fact, he has already lost his temper, if Wei Hongfei takes the opportunity to step down, he will still have a reputation for magnanimity. After all, Shang Rong had already admitted that he was wrong. But Wei Hongfei held back his strength and really beat Shang Rong with thirty military sticks. Looking at Shang Rong, who was helped back to the big tent by the guards, the soldiers in the army talked a lot, but there was no doubt that Wei Hongfei's reputation in the army was even worse.
Shang Rong has clear rewards and punishments, but he loves nurses and soldiers, and has a good reputation among generals and ordinary soldiers. But such a general, when Wei Hongfei was squeezed to the rear, he counted ants every day without saying anything, and was beaten with a military stick. The deputy marshal of the dignified First Army was beating a military stick in the middle of this, and this kind of thing sounded like Wei Hongfei was deliberately humiliating Shang Rong. For such a general, where can the soldiers love it?
The more this is the case, the more Wei Hongfei hates Shang Rong even more. Away from the battlefield for more than 20 years, Wei Hongfei was once again in charge of the military power, and found that things were not as smooth as he imagined. More than 20 years ago, after he was a loyal minister, he was the future princess and concubine, and he was a young general favored by the emperor, and there was never a shortage of people to hold him and let him. And now, he is just a county king of the palace that is about to decline, a general who has not fought for more than 20 years, how can he be supported and convinced by the soldiers?
"Bastard!" In the big tent, Wei Hongfei waved his hand and swept the folds of the file on the table to the ground. The three brothers of the Wei family standing next to each other looked at each other, and when Wei Hongfei was angry, they didn't dare to speak casually. The three brothers exchanged eyes for a while, and finally Wei Junyi, who was the weakest, was pushed out, "Father... Father, calm your anger. ”
Wei Hongfei snorted coldly, "Anger? How will this king calm his anger? How dare this Shang Rong... How dare you be so rude to this king! ”
Wei Junbo said in a deep voice: "Father, it is not worth it to be angry for Shang Rong, and it will only make Shang Rong's treacherous plan succeed." Father, no matter what Shang Rong does, after all, you are the commander of the army personally appointed by His Majesty. As for the reaction of the soldiers, it was only because we were new to the city, and as long as we won a few battles, they naturally had nothing to say. ”
Regarding Wei Junbo, the son he fancies, Wei Hongfei can still listen to it. just said: "It's easy to win a few battles, but now we just refuse to accept the danger of the first line of the gorge." The soldiers and horses in Xianning have not moved, and it seems that they also know that the first-line gorge is not easy to fight. Wei Junze said nonchalantly: "If they don't come in, we'll fight out?" ”
Wei Junbo shook his head and said: "It's not proper, although we haven't seen Tainingwei's combat power, but Tainingwei is invincible all the way, and it is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers and horses can match." ”
"Grow the enemy's morale and destroy your own prestige." Wei Junze glanced at Wei Junbo contemptuously, "Big brother, shouldn't you be afraid of Wei Junmo?" ”
The smile on Wei Junbo's face paused, and he glanced at his younger brother lightly and said in a deep voice: "Second brother said he was laughing." "Are you afraid of Wei Junmo? Wei Junbo had to admit in his heart that he was indeed a little afraid, and there were not many people in the world who were not afraid of Wei Junmo. But Wei Junbo hates Wei Junmo even more, because his existence has made their mother and son brothers can only be subservient to others for many years, no matter how much his father loves his mother and values him, they still have to bow their heads and bow in front of Princess Changping, and he will always be a concubine who can't be on the stage in front of outsiders. And now, Wei Junbo is even more Wei Junmo. Because of Wei Junmo's existence, the three brothers of the Wei family will be shrouded in his shadow for the rest of their lives. Wei Junmo is not Wei Hongfei's flesh and blood? That can only prove that Wei Hongfei or their mother's bloodline is not good.
"Ze'er, how do you talk to your eldest brother?" Wei Hongfei's face was a little ugly. Now at this time, what Wei Hongfei is most tired of is that someone mentions the name Wei Junmo. Wei Junze shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said, "In that case, what good way does the eldest brother have?" The younger brother listens to the teachings of the eldest brother? ”
Wei Junbo didn't hear the thorn in his words, and said, "Father, we don't have any chance of winning if we take the initiative to rush out and fight with Taining Wei." However, if they were to be introduced into the first line of gorges, they would not be able to escape even if they had wings. As soon as the words fell, I heard Wei Junze sneer disdainfully: "Bring in? Are you a fool to be Wei Junmo? Will you run in with someone yourself? Don't forget, it's been so many days, and there hasn't even been any movement on Xianning's side. ”
Wei Junbo said: "Ordinary methods naturally don't work. But... What if we withdraw all the soldiers and horses from the First Line Gorge? ”
Wei Junze sneered, "Do you think Wei Junmo will believe you?" ”
Wei Junbo didn't think about it, and said: "Wei Junmo naturally won't be so stupid, so we have to make it look like we've really withdrawn our troops." But... To achieve preparation on the first line of the gorge, leave a small number of ambushes hidden in the shadows. Moreover, as long as Tainingwei enters the first line of gorges, we can block their way before they rush out......"
Wei Hongfei lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, "You talk about it carefully." ”
"Father!" Wei Junze shouted, "You don't really think this so-called strategy is feasible, do you? Even I can't fool me, do you think those people in Tainingwei will be fooled? ”
"That's enough." Wei Hongfei said a little irritably: "If you don't want to listen, go out first, I still have something to say to your eldest brother." ”
"Good!" Wei Junze gritted his teeth and rushed out angrily. Wei Junyi looked at his father with some embarrassment, arched his hand towards Wei Hongfei and went out.
After another half an hour, Wei Junbo came out of the big tent. The look on his face was a little smug, obviously his strategy was approved by Wei Hongfei.
"Second brother, why are you still here?" Wei Junbo looked at Wei Junze, who was standing not far away and looked at him suspiciously, and raised his eyebrows. Wei Junze sneered and said, "I don't know who gave you this bad idea, if you want to make your father value you with this, you are too happy." ”
Compared with Wei Junze's gloomy impulsiveness, Wei Junbo is much calmer. He smiled lightly: "Second brother, my father has taken a fancy to me, so I won't be happy about it too early, don't you say?" ”
Wei Junze snorted coldly, "It seems that you have received some amazing characters recently?" ”
"I don't know what you're talking about. Second brother, we are brothers. Wei Junbo sighed.
Wei Junze didn't appreciate it, "Do you think I don't know?" You don't know how to fight at all. Heard... At the beginning, Wei Junmo asked you to escort grain and grass, but you encountered a small group of bandits on the road, and you were helpless, and you were so scared that you were scared. After being exposed to the black history, Wei Junbo's face that was still smiling was a little difficult to look at, "Second brother, do you have to go against the eldest brother?" ”
Wei Junze looked up at the sky and smiled, "Second brother? When you gave up and ignored me, why didn't you want to ask me for a doctor just for a little money, why didn't you want to think that I was your second brother? Wei Junbo, you've had a lot of fun using me all these years, right? I rushed to the front to offend Wei Junmo for you, and offended everyone for you, the world only thinks that I, Wei Junze, am impulsive and reckless, and you Wei Junbo is indeed a gentle gentleman. I'm no worse than you, so why should I follow you all the time? Wei Junbo, in the future... You are my enemy, the prince of Jingjiang County, and I am bound to win it. Do you think that if you find a bullshit strategist from somewhere, you can win against me? ”
Wei Junbo was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, since that's the case, we don't have anything to say." ”
"Not at all." Wei Junze said: "You are you, I am me!" I'm not with you hypocrite. Wei Junbo, let's see. After speaking, Wei Junze brushed his sleeves and walked away.
"Childe." In Xianning City late at night, Wei Junmo sat in the study reading a book, and it was Nangong Xu, the eldest son of the Nangong family, who sat down with him. A man in black appeared silently at the door. Hearing this, Wei Junmo raised his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems to be done?" ”
The man in black said: "Back to Gongzi, Shang Rong was seriously injured by Wei Hongfei and was sick in bed. Wei Junbo has also been arranged there. ”
"Very well, stand down." Wei Junbo nodded with satisfaction. The man in black retreated, Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's easy to abolish Shang Rong, but I'm a little curious about what you said about moving Wei Junbo, Wei Junbo is not a person who has no defense against people." ”
Wei Junmo said indifferently: "It's very simple, because the person who proposed it to him is one of the people he trusts the most, and... It's someone who has been with him for several years, so he naturally won't doubt it. Other than that... Wei Hongfei already knew the news of Nangong Hui's presence in Chenzhou, and it was impossible for him to trust Shang Rong anymore. So... How difficult is it to convince him that Shang Rong's original arming is problematic? He can't see it, it can only prove that he is inferior to Shang Rong, and it doesn't prove that Shang Rong really has no selfish intentions, and Shang Rong's arming has no loopholes. ”
Nangong Xu nodded, looking at Wei Gongzi who was sitting behind the table with a calm face, "Shang Rong met you... It's really been eight lifetimes of mold. "Of course, there are also the fathers and sons from the Jingjiang County Palace.
Wei Junmo sneered, "You'd better let Shang Rong submit to his best, otherwise, I can make him even more unlucky." ”
"......" Nangong Xu nodded slightly, "Don't worry, even if Shang Rong refuses to help you, it will be easy for him not to help you." ”
"We'll see."
