Uncle Du Shan asked people to clean up the handsome tent again, and it was already time for dinner, so he invited him to eat together. Wang Jingzhi dared not to obey, he also had something to say to the old handsome, Dushan Bo retreated from the others, and even the eighteen tigers were not allowed to stay in the tent, Wang Jingzhi felt that the uncle had something important to discuss with him.

However, Du Shanbo adhered to the principle of eating without saying a word, and the two ate in silence without saying a word. After eating, the uncle drank tea and rinsed his mouth, and said, "Jingzhi Xiaoyou, you Jinyiwei is well-informed, do you know how your body is recently?" ”

Wang Jingzhi whispered: "The Quartet told me that he has asked a few imperial doctors, and His Majesty's physical support will not last long. ”

Dushan Bo was shocked: "The emperor's body is really difficult to support?" ”

Wang Jingzhi: "If this is the case, it is all supported by various medicines, and the Tai Hospital is already helpless, and several Tai Doctors are worried about being punished, so they go to the Tai Doctor and flee to other places. ”

Dushanbo suddenly understood why Wang Jingzhi gave up supporting Xuanyuan Zixun, after all, the Blue Dragon Army was destroyed, and the prince's greatest reliance was gone, and Wang Jingzhi also quickly made a judgment that the prince's position as the prince was also afraid that he would be lost. Jin Yiwei was determined to draw a line with the princelings at this moment, and chose to cooperate with Du Shanbo to eradicate the prince's conspiracy, and Wang Jingzhi washed himself clean.

The two were silent, Du Shanbo would never support the assassination of his prince, and Wang Jingzhi also gave up the incompetent and mediocre prince, which can be regarded as a complete line with the princelings. Dushanbo took another sip of tea before he said slowly: "What is the reason for the defeat of Yashan?" ”

Wang Jingzhi replied honestly: "There are both internal and external causes, internal causes, there are many princelings and villains, and the generals are vying for power and profit, as long as Gu Yong is not by the prince's side, those villains will jump up and down." The crown prince indulged in touting, thinking that he would be the emperor every day, and inquired about the emperor's physical condition every day, and did not care about the military. ”

Du Shanbo asked, "I heard that Li Cunyi is being taken into custody?" ”

Wang Jingzhi said: "The reason for this matter is Cui Wei, this person can speak well and speak like a spring, and ordinary people can't refute him." Li Cunyi couldn't see it, and often scolded and humiliated, which Cui Wei didn't dare to disobey. However, in August, Inuyi attacked the 4th Regiment, and due to Li Cunyi's mistake, the 4th Regiment lost more than half. Cui Wei and the generals impeached Li Cunyi, and the prince took the opportunity to beat Li Cunyi and detain him. But Li Cunyi just stayed in the army of General Wang Dan of the Second Regiment, and Wang Dan was Li Cunyi's uncle, and Li Cunyi was angry but locked himself up from outsiders. ”

Du Shanbo frowned and said: "If you lead the troops outside, you will be at odds with each other, and you will impeach your own people behind your back, who is this prince using?" It's just that his ability is mediocre, but he listens to the villain's slander, and he is really confused. I remember he wasn't like that before, how is it now? ”

Wang Jingzhi thought for a while and said: "After the battle of Tucheng, the remnants of the 27th Regiment returned, Shi Jing killed himself in Mucheng, and the Wang Gentry who joined the army committed suicide after gouging out his eyes in front of the prince, and swore a poisonous oath that the souls of the 27th Regiment would ask for his life day and night. After Wang Shen committed suicide, the prince often woke up in a dream, so the 27th regiment and Tucheng became a taboo for the prince, he behaved more and more obediently and did not like to rebel, and gradually no one in the camp of Yashan dared to disobey the prince, everyone said good things, said his words, so Cui Wei and other villains can succeed. ”

"The twenty-seventh regiment was killed by the prince?"

"Yes and no." Wang Jingzhi said, "At that time, the prince and Gu Yong were very hesitant, and it was this hesitation that completely buried the 27th Regiment and the people of Tucheng. ”

Dushan Bo said angrily: "How can anyone hesitate for three months, they obviously don't want to rescue, they all say that Gu Yong is the first military division in the world, and I think he is the first poisoner in the world." Wang Jingzhi was noncommittal, he didn't have much contact with Gu Yong, but he felt that Gu Yong's thoughts were too deep and unpredictable.

Du Shanbo asked again: "What is the external cause?" ”

Wang Jingzhi said: "The Inuyi army fought a decisive battle in advance, and can always find the weak point of our army, the Yashan camp is the most difficult to overcome, but whether the fourth regiment is attacked or the Yashan camp is ignited by the fire, I think someone should collude with the Inuyi and betray the country." ”

Dushanbo said cautiously: "You tell me carefully. ”

Wang Jingzhi recalled: "On that day, the prince got a beauty, so he called everyone to drink and celebrate, and in the middle of the night, the military rations of Yashan suddenly caught fire, and the fire soared to the sky, and the soldiers could not be rescued. In addition, the north wind rose strongly that day, and the wind swept into flames, and more than half of the camp tents of the first regiment were burned at once. At this time, the camp gate was opened, and the elite ironclad cavalry of Wuhuan went straight to the tent, and after breaking the main camp first, tens of thousands of dogs divided their troops to attack the other battalions. The prince's guards desperately protected, and I escorted the prince to escape from the handsome camp. Uncle, there must be a traitor in the barracks, if it weren't for the mole design, it would be impossible for Inuyi to know that the prince happened to have a banquet for all the generals that day, so that when attacking the camp, each regiment and battalion was leaderless! ”

"Who's giving the beauty!" Du Shanbo's eyes widened with anger.

"Cui Wei." Wang Jingzhi said, "I have sent the Jinyi Guard to track down Cui Wei and control the Cui family in the capital, but the Cui family has no evidence that the clansmen colluded with the Inuyi. The Cui family is even very poor, and it is also a rare Qing official family in Beijing. For today's plan, only by finding Cui Wei can the truth be solved. He arched his hand and said, "Uncle, he will counterattack Inuyi in the future, please allow me to accompany the army, and I must find out the truth and return tens of thousands of robes to a clean house." ”

Du Shanbo nodded and said, "With a little friend as a companion, the old man is not lonely." ”

Wang Jingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Cui Wei, I will kill him." ”

Du Shanbo suddenly asked: "What about Li Cunyi, how is this person?" ”

Wang Jingzhi: "Li Cunyi is a brave general, and he is the best in the world in terms of martial arts, and the kid is no match for him." But Li Cunyi is not a handsome talent, you let him charge and kill the enemy to lead the army to break the formation, this person is irresistible, but let him lead hundreds of thousands of troops to march and set up the formation, which is far inferior to Gu Junshi. But he is simple-minded but not a bad person, but he has fought invincible opponents all over the world in Longdu City before, which makes His Majesty mistakenly think that this person can command millions of troops. ”

Dushan Bo said: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers, and the fierce generals are trapped, and it is not advisable." ”

Wang Jingzhi smiled bitterly: "The first general in the world only refers to the general who is on the horse, not the general who leads the troops." ”

"Did he die in battle?"

"Probably not." Wang Jingzhi said, "When Prince Wang Dan invited everyone to the banquet that day, Wang Dan did not go to the banquet because of his age, but he went to the army under his tent. When the camp was broken in Yashan, the first and fourth regiments were the first to be in chaos, and the second regiment had time to rearm and fight because it was stationed on the easternmost side. ”

"Do you know how many enemies there were that day?"

"I don't know, the fire was too big that day, and the fire ran faster than people." Wang Jingzhi smiled bitterly.

Uncle Dushan toasted a cup of tea, and Wang Jingzhi asked after drinking: "Uncle, I don't know something." ”

"Please."

"Why is the White Tiger Army stationed here, not advancing or retreating?"

Du Shanbo also reluctantly put down the teacup and said: "Do you know how many rebellions have occurred in the Central Plains from last year to today, Your Majesty fought for the world in order to support the Saibei Campaign, and the local officials took the opportunity to loot the people's fat and ointment, causing the people to be unhappy and the people complained. That day, the Fire Cult revived, instigating believers to rebel in various places, especially in Jiangzhou County and Hangzhou County, which were rich in the south of the Yangtze River, and officials were frequently assassinated. Alas...... Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, kill them inexhaustibly, and you don't know it. The White Tiger Legion annexed the Two Wolf Pass, one thing can be supported in time when the Qinglong Army is defeated, the second is that it can be returned in time when the domestic rebels are in turmoil, so it stagnates, and the third is that Your Majesty has a will, and I must not advance or retreat. ”

Wang Jingzhi suddenly realized, and said, "The younger generation has misunderstood the uncle. ”

Du Shanbo said: "There are many people who misunderstand me, if I explain them one by one, don't you be annoyed to death." Come on, come on, drink tea and drink tea. ”

After the prince went insane, he was secretly imprisoned in the White Tiger Legion, and Cheng Chu, who claimed to be the prince's descendant, immediately ordered the Sixth Regiment to abandon its weapons and surrender to the White Tiger Legion. In the face of the coercion of the White Tiger Legion, everyone, including Li Cunyuan, could only obediently hand over power, Cheng Chu jumped up and down like a conscientious traitor, and won the favor of Du Shanbo with his dog-licking performance, and allowed him to continue to serve as the commander of the Sixth Regiment.

No one shed any blood in the assassination of Dushanbo, and no one mentioned where the prince had gone, as if the prince had never appeared.

When Du Shanbo received the record of the sixth regiment general, he asked Zhou Wenqi who joined the army one by one, everyone, he has a habit of cherishing talents, and the eighteen tigers are the excellent generals he found in various places, and he has heard the name of Zhang Xiaowu many times. The first time I heard this name, it was Zhang Xiaowu who led the dead battalion to exterminate the sand bandits in Saibei and clean up the bandits in Saibei for many years. Although there is a little crooked fight, the sand bandits who have plagued everyone for so many years have been solved by a young general, which is a real skill.

Du Shanbo saw that Zhang Xiaowu's name was actually "Mucheng Garrison Envoy" in front of him, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but he was also very interested, looking at the three hundred years of the history of the Holy Han, the person who can lead the lord of a city at the age of less than twenty is afraid that he is the only one.

"Cheng Chu is accused by this person on behalf of the guard, but he is messing around." Dushan Bodao.

Zhou Wenqi said: "Back to the uncle, appointing Zhang Xiaowu as the acting garrison envoy is a lowly suggestion. ”

Dushanbo asked, "Why?" ”

"This person is less than twenty years old, but his martial arts, courage, strategy, and decisiveness are all beyond all the generals of the Sixth Regiment, and it can be said that this person is a divine weapon." Zhou Wenqi said truthfully, after the Sixth Regiment was forced to merge into the White Tiger Legion, all the officers and assistants were demoted by one level, and Zhou Wenqi lost his former glory. He knew that Uncle Dushan was scheming, and he didn't dare to hide it in front of the old handsome. He also said: "People say that the first general of the sixth regiment will be Li Cunyuan, but from the humble point of view, Li Cunyuan is just bluffing, and the two have clashed several times, but Li Cunyuan was subdued by Zhang Xiaowu. But Zhang Xiaowu is very murderous, it is a double-edged sword, it can hurt others or himself, and he is arrogant, who can say clearly. ”

Du Shanbo nodded, he was most taboo about others deceiving him, but seeing that Zhou Wenqi was also honest, he felt that this person could be retained.

Zhou Wenqi said again: "But this person values love and righteousness, he is Shi Jing's old department, Shi Jing has killed the city gate, only he dares to build a tomb for Shi Jing." ”

Du Shanbo smiled slightly, and said in faith: "This sharp blade still needs some sharpening before it can be submitted." ”
