Chapter 4 Social Rat (5 I)

With Xue Jingxian's sudden variable, Bian Lingcheng naturally couldn't arrange for Wang Xun to be sent to death. But he didn't want Feng Changqing to give in, so he continued to bite the 'big cannibal has sent an envoy to ask for surrender'. In this way, the point of contention turns back to the authenticity of the identity of the messenger.

Of course, Feng Changqing, Zhou Xiaofeng and others insisted that they did not think that the identity of the envoy was true, but they were unable to produce any favorable evidence. Although there are a few party henchmen on Bian Lingcheng's side, they are all generals in charge of baggage, grain and grass, and civilian service, and their weight is inevitably insufficient. In the end, Wang Xun's reckless proposal became a countermeasure acceptable to both sides. Therefore, the two sides each took a step back and agreed that the main force of the Anxi Army would not continue to the west for the time being, and that General Duan Xiushi, the commander of the scouts, would lead his brothers to find out the reality of the enemy first, and then make further plans.

This result was of course a big disappointment for many people. Especially for young generals such as Yu Wenzhi and Song Wu who made meritorious contributions, they hated Bian Lingcheng for a while. After dispersing the military discussion, he immediately gathered in Wang Xun's sleeping tent, and while eating and drinking to relieve his boredom, he scolded the traitors for taking power and misleading the country.

"That guy shouldn't have been allowed to come with him in the first place. If Feng Shuai didn't send troops to respond, even if he borrowed twenty guts from the old thief surnamed Bian, he wouldn't have the courage to cross the Datan Juling! (Note 1)

"If I knew that the old thief was so wrong, I should have let him fall to Bole River and drown!"

Everyone, you vent the resentment in your heart word by word, and you don't care at all that Lord Qincha sent by the imperial court is sitting next to him at this moment.

Xue Jingxian was very happy to find that several young generals no longer regarded themselves as outsiders. After listening with his ears pricked up for a while, when everyone was almost done, he reminded with a smile: "Feng Shuai must have hesitated about whether to continue to go west!" Otherwise, why would he put the argument with the border guards in the open? Just pull the team out directly, and pay attention to what the surname says! ”

Before the words fell, a voice of opposition immediately sounded around him. In particular, a few young generals who admired Feng Changqing almost immediately pointed their fire at Xue Jingxian. "You talk nonsense. How could Feng Shuai hesitate?! Our Anxi army has tried a lot of courage up and down, in order to take revenge on this day! ”

"Feng Shuai has always been above board, how could he borrow the steps of the old thief?!"

"Which side are you trying to help?!"

However, Wang Xun was even more calm, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be busy questioning Brother Xue, what he said is actually not unreasonable." ”

"Huh?" Everyone quickly withdrew their angry eyes from Xue Jingxian's face and stabbed at Wang Xun again, "What are you talking about?" Could it be that you have forgotten that Feng Shuai has been kind to you? ”

"Brothers, don't worry!" Shaking his head slightly, Wang Xun explained with a smile, "If you don't find out that the old thief is deliberately stumbling, Feng Shuai will naturally continue to lead everyone to the west." However, you have also seen the situation in the Chinese military tent just now. Bi Sichen, Wang Tao, Kang Huaishun, Chen Fengzhong and others, who were in charge of rice, grain, baggage, and armor, were clearly angry with the old thief on the side. In case the old thief orders his henchmen to secretly do something about the supply, I am afraid that no matter how good the situation is, it will be difficult for our army to be safe! ”

"The old thief dares!"

"This damn old thief!" Everyone scolded. I can't wait to copy the guy and rush out and break Bian Lingcheng's body into pieces.

After scolding for a while, Yuwen Zhi lowered his head and sighed: "Mingyun is right!" Bi Sichen and a few of them were already relying on their old qualifications, and they were dissatisfied with Feng Shuai. If it is really secretly attacked, Feng Shuai is indeed invincible. It's better to push the boat down the river and stop the team, and wait until all potential dangers are removed, so that we can continue the bloody battle with the big cannibals! ”

In this way, even if the brothers are dissatisfied. The morale blow won't be too severe! The crowd was gossiping and sighing.

"It's just such a delay, I don't know how long it will take!"

"The warplanes are fleeting. Finally, the Great Food Crusade Army was disabled. If he recovers and defeats it next time, the horror will not be as easy as it is today! ”

"Not necessarily!" Seeing that everyone was depressed, Wang Xun smiled again and cheered everyone up, "In fact, even if we continue to go west this year, at most we will fight until Kabulo City." No matter how far away, it is said that the grain and grass are heavy, even the weather conditions do not allow it. And if Feng Shuai frees up his hands to solve his worries first, we can safely and boldly go west in the spring next year. At that time, although the strength of the Great Food Eastern Expeditionary Army has also recovered, the news of their fiasco has already spread among the surrounding small countries. There will be no more genuine support for it. Compared with the two, the big cannibal may not be able to take too much advantage! ”

He just said this, and he didn't feel that it was profound. But when it falls on the ears of the listener, it immediately feels like the clouds are clearing. In an instant, several eyes were projected, full of admiration. Wang Xun was a little embarrassed by everyone, coughed a few times, and explained with a smile: "I'm just guessing." Guess. Not accurate. But there is always a bunch of guys in the army who are dragging their feet, and it is indeed a nuisance. It's better to get rid of them first, and then travel light! ”

When this section was mentioned, some people immediately sighed in a low voice, "How to get rid of them, they are the elders who followed the Fumeng Lingjing Festival back then." Even Gao Jiedu, who has always been decisive in killing, can't help them?! Feng Shuai pays attention to the rules in everything, and he definitely can't do the trick of framing him, alas! ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to send them to retire elsewhere? If there is a chance to be promoted, will they still refuse? Wang Xun thought for a moment and continued to answer.

This is indeed a feasible way for the Anxi army to solve its own hidden dangers. The reason why Bian Lingcheng was able to give Feng Changqing elbows everywhere relied on a group of qualified but incapable old men in the army. And Feng Changqing is from a humble background, so it will be difficult to get rid of this batch of moths for a while. But sending them up won't be a hassle. First of all, this is indeed within the scope of Feng Changqing's duties, and it is not considered to harm his colleagues. Secondly, those veterans are extremely utilitarian, and when they have the opportunity to be promoted, they will definitely grasp it firmly. No matter how Bian Lingcheng retained, it was impossible to retain it.

"Brother Mingyun, where did you learn this? Why don't I even know you! Yu Wenzhi has the closest relationship with Wang Xun, and he feels the changes in him the most, glanced at him, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Shibei should be impressed for three days, I didn't believe this sentence at first. Now I'm a little bit convinced! When Song Wu was in the camp of White Horse Fort, he also had several encounters with Wang Xun, and he had the intention of getting closer, laughing and joking.

"Really?" Wang Xun touched his head blankly. Is it really that much that much has changed? Why didn't you feel it? But think about it for yourself, if you were a year ago, you really didn't have so many twists and turns in your stomach. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so bad that you couldn't stay in White Horse Castle and hide in Anxi in a daze!

was sighing in his heart, but he was pushed by Xue Jingxian again, and counted with a smile, "You are smart." But I didn't see you put this cleverness to yourself! Looking at Bian Lingcheng's appearance today, I almost want to let you die immediately! How did you offend him and make him hate you so much? ”

"How do I know!" As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Xun was immediately confused. "The old thief was busy running horses and staking land by the Shule River every day. I've been here for so long, but I haven't even fought him in person. Even if you want to offend him, you have to have a chance?! ”

"According to Xue's opinion, you should be more careful!" Xue Jingxian put away his smile and reminded him with a positive color. "This kind of limb incomplete guy has the most vicious heart. Since I took the initiative to find you, I will not give up easily! ”

"Thank you Brother Xue for reminding me!" Wang Xun knew that Xue Jingxian was really good for himself, so he hurriedly thanked him, "But the little brother really can't think of when he offended him." He is a prisoner, and I am just a rootless general. How could it be possible to prevent him from being behind his back?! ”

"Anyway, it doesn't hurt to be careful!" Xue Jingxian unceremoniously accepted Wang Xun's thanks, and then frowned and continued to ask, "Think about it again, have you ever offended the people around him?" Or someone close to him? Always find out the source of resentment, so that you can see the trick! ”

"Nope!" Wang Xun shook his head hesitantly. It's really frustrating. He also had trouble when he was in Beijing. But every time, you can find out which way of the gods you provoked. But this time, I couldn't find any clue. God seems to be looking at him unpleasantly, so he has to deliberately set up one level after another.

"Back then, in White Horse Fort, there was a guy surnamed Bian who violated the military order and was beheaded by Fengjiedu. But if Bian Lingcheng wanted to take revenge on Ming Yun because of this, he should have done it when he first arrived in Anxi, and he wouldn't have endured it until today! Yu Wenzhi watched anxiously from the side, and took the initiative to find a reason for Wang Xun.

"Nope! Bian Lingcheng wants to retaliate, and he won't retaliate against Brother Mingyun alone! Song Wu smiled. I was there at the time, and the one with the surname was killing himself. General Zhou, General Zhao ......" he looked around and lowered his voice, "Several of them were also there at the time. In the past two years, Bian Lingcheng has never taken the initiative to find trouble with them! ”

"Oh, that's a bit of a problem!" Xue Jingxian groaned in a deep voice. According to everyone, Bian Lingcheng should not have any personal grudges with Wang Xun. But why did he have to get rid of Wang Xun? Now that he is still there, he can still pull the prince's banner and cover Wang Xun for the time being. But after he leaves, how should Wang Xun deal with it?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a clue. However, Xue Jingxian's temperament was a little stubborn, since he had already intervened, he would not give up halfway, frowned, and continued to ask: "What about the others." I wonder why you came back to Anxi to suffer, you are a good Wyvern Praetorian Guard officer. With your family background, even if you don't come here, you can survive just by being qualified in the forbidden army, right? ”

"This ......" Wang Xun hesitated. Although the brothers in the room have a deep friendship, after all, the backgrounds behind each other are very different. Especially Song Wu, his brother is Yang Guozhong's sworn friend, and some things can't be said in front of him at all. Besides, Yang Yuhuan and His Royal Highness King Shou cheated on him, no matter who knew about it, there would be no good fruit to eat. He didn't tell the truth to Feng Changqing, let alone Xue Jingxian. Without him, he would admit that he was unlucky, and there was no need to drag those who didn't want to do it into the water.

"Brother Mingyun and Zida have offended the Prime Minister!" Song Wu was a down-and-out man, and when he saw that Wang Xun had a look of hesitation on his face, he simply made his words clear. "But the Prime Minister has long since decided to pursue this matter. Besides, I heard my brother say that the prime minister and the little inner dynasty are not quite right! It is impossible to instruct Bian Lingcheng to frame him! ”

His original intention was to bridge the relationship with Wang Xun and others. Unexpectedly, the three words 'Xiao Neichao' made Xue Jingxian's eyes light up. "Hehe, since Ming Yun can't think of it for a while, forget it! Let's first calculate how to hide from Lingcheng and stay away. Otherwise, Ming Yun walks around in front of this thief every day, and he will inevitably be targeted by others again! ”

"Why don't you ask Brother Mingyun to escort you back to Beijing!" Song Wu didn't guess that Xue Jingxian deliberately led the topic elsewhere, so he answered in passing.

"No!" Before Xue Jingxian could speak, Wang Xun had already vetoed it loudly. Glancing apologetically, he quickly added with a smile, "When I first came to Anxi, I made a vow. If you don't become famous, you will never return to the East! What if Bian Lingcheng is eyeing me, I'll just find a chance to avoid him. Anthy is so big, it won't be where I go, where he goes! ”
