Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Seizure of Power
The main tent was only more than 300 steps away from the camp gate, and Jiang Wei and his party galloped on horseback, and they arrived in a hurry.
Wang Ping took the lead in getting down the horse and opening the tent curtain to welcome Jiang Wei in, and instructed Lao Han, who followed closely, to start the oil lamp one by one. There are long lampstands in front of and behind the main seat in the tent, and no less than ten oil lamps are held on each lampstand, all of which are lit up one by one, and the tent that can accommodate dozens of people is illuminated as bright as day.
After a while, six musicians, including Lao Han, entered the ranks, and Kou Xun was also impressively listed. Several of them had been woken up from their sleep, and they had no idea what was happening, and they were all dazed, unconsciously looking towards the throne.
At this moment, Jiang Weizheng sat on Liu Feng's main seat. He was all down, dressed in pitch-black and shiny armor, wearing a scarlet cloak, and looking majestic, he looked like a king's envoy.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Wang Ping opened his mouth and introduced: "This is the envoy of the king of Hanzhong, General Fengyi leads General Yulin Zuocheng Jiang Weijiang, you come to see it quickly." β
Everyone in the army is just a position of Qu general, barely a low-level military attachΓ©, at first hearing Jiang Wei's series of names, every one of them said is a high mountain to look up, there is no doubt about him at the moment, all of them knelt on one knee and worshipped:
"The last general will wait for General Jiang."
Jiang Weihu grimaced, "um", he agreed. He did not ask the generals to get up, nor did he give further instructions, which was very rude.
The generals didn't know the truth and the truth, and they all looked at Wang Ping, who was familiar with each other.
Lao Han relied on his relationship with Wang Ping, and boldly asked: "Dare to ask General Wang, I don't know what the envoy is doing when he visits late at night?" β
Wang Ping quietly looked at Jiang Wei, saw Jiang Wei nodded imperceptibly, and replied immediately: "General Jiang was ordered by the king of Hanzhong to comfort the counties of Jingzhou. β
Jiang Wei didn't intend to hide these words from them, because they were going to Jingzhou to participate in the war in the end. It is easy to fool them, but they certainly do not do their best in the face of war. Some ugly things are better to say first.
As soon as his words fell, the six generals, including Lao Han, were suddenly full of surprise, and they all exchanged their heads and whispered.
Jiang Wei didn't obstruct it, he watched coldly for a while, and suddenly glanced at Lin Hang outside. Lin Hang understood and secretly retreated. After a while, at the door of the camp tent, the figure of the shadow and shadow of Yu Linlang could already be seen.
The six-member general seemed to have finished his deliberations, and turned his gaze to the young general on the main throne.
Kou Xun, as Liu Feng's deputy general, has the highest status, and he took the lead in asking: "The last general, Kou Xun, dare to ask General Jiang, I don't know where my young general is now?" Does he know about this? β
Jiang Weixin said: "Liu Feng was originally a descendant of the Luo Hou Kou clan. Since this person's surname is Kou, and he keeps saying 'my young general', it must be Liu Feng's henchman brought out from his family. Some words can be passed on to Liu Feng through him. β
His heart was racing, but he said lightly: "Fang Cai was supposed to meet the young general in Shangyong City. The major general ignored the overall situation and was captured. β
As soon as he said this, it was like thunder on the ground, and it suddenly caused a noise, and all the generals showed incredible colors.
Kou Xun took two steps forward, pointed at Jiang Wei and scolded angrily: "Didn't you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dared to capture my general?" Do you know that he is the son of the king of Hanzhong? β
After he finished saying this, he turned around and asked the rest of the generals: "The young general is the master of an army, and without his general's order, the last general will not dare to obey his orders." Brothers, do you say? β
Without waiting for the generals to express their opinions, Jiang Wei suddenly interjected: "The king of Hanzhong and Guan Jun are like brothers, both public and private, and the young general should send troops immediately, but he ignores the overall situation." Ben Jiang was granted the right to arbitrarily by the king of the Han Dynasty and Shang Shuling, so he could naturally take down this person. Whether it is fair or not has its own assessment by the king of Hanzhong. β
He paused for a moment and said, "In addition, I am going to remind you that the young general is just the righteous son of the king of Hanzhong. The king of Hanzhong has only one eldest son, and that is His Royal Highness the crown prince, Liu Chan. β
Originally, many people wanted to respond to Kou Xun, but after Jiang Wei finished speaking, the audience suddenly fell silent.
The people present can be a good general, and they are in charge of hundreds of subordinates, how can it be easy? Who doesn't have a little eyesight, how can you not hear what Jiang Wei said?
It is true that Liu Feng is a major general, but he Jiang Wei is here on behalf of the king of Hanzhong, if there is a conflict between the orders of the two, who do you listen to? Many people are drumming in their hearts, speaking of which, no matter how big Liu Feng is, he is naturally no bigger than the king of Hanzhong; Secondly, it is true that Liu Feng is the righteous son of the king of Hanzhong, but Liu Chan, the son of the king of Hanzhong, has been named the crown prince, and his position is very stable.
At this time, if you jump out in a hurry, you will undoubtedly stand in line!
Although everyone is Liu Feng's subordinates, they also know that Liu Feng's military power is granted by the king of Hanzhong in the final analysis, even if they want to stand in line, they must stand on the side of the crown prince.
At this time, Kou Xun suddenly asked, and the generals could only choose to be silent.
Kou Xun looked around left and right, but no one responded, and he suddenly trembled with anger. He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the generals, and scolded angrily: "Okay, the young general treats you well on weekdays, and you are so ungrateful......
Jiang Wei interrupted again: "The general will persuade you to make one thing clear, you are the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, not the domestic slaves of the young general!" β
As he spoke, he walked straight to Wang Ping's side, and asked after a pause: "General Wang, the general will ask you, are you a soldier of the Han Dynasty or a private soldier of the major general?" β
Wang Ping was thoughtful, and he had already understood, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "This Jiang Zuocheng is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also very eloquent, and he can use the name of righteousness to overwhelm the generals, and he doesn't dare to come out, it's really a good means......"
When he thought of this, he immediately replied loudly: "The last general is the tooth gate of the Han Dynasty, and he is only loyal to the king of Hanzhong!" β
Jiang Wei patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "General Wang is well aware of the righteousness, and when this trip turns back, he will definitely show his merit to the king of Hanzhong for you!" β
He walked up to Lao Han again, stared at his face, and asked, "What about you, Han Qu?" β
Lao Han was sweating profusely, but Jiang Wei's question was upright, and he couldn't help it perfunctory, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The last general is naturally a soldier of the Han Dynasty." β
Jiang Wei nodded, and walked in front of the next general. With Wang Ping and Lao Han taking the lead, the other four replied without thinking. This also means that he has the support of most of the generals.
Kou Xun's face was pale, and he was already so angry that he couldn't speak. At this time, Jiang Wei turned back to him and asked, "General Kou, what do you say?" β
"Little thief, too, bully!"
Kou Xun was furious, and suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at Jiang Wei.
Wang Ping and others had just taken the oath of service, and they were all taken aback when they saw this. It's just that Kou Xun and Jiang Wei are only two steps apart, and this knife is coming out extremely fast, and it is too late for everyone to stop it.
Jiang Wei looked at his demeanor, he had already taken precautions, and his body was slightly inclined to avoid it, and his right hand held Lin Jia, only to see a flash of cold light, Lin Jia suddenly came out of the sheath, and heard the sound of "bell", swords hit each other, and Kou Xun's saber had been cut into two sections.
Jiang Wei kicked him to the ground with a kick and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to assassinate the monarch's envoy will be regarded as a rebellion!" Nine Clans! Do you know what trouble your recklessness will bring to your young general? β
He concealed anger, raised his eyes to look left and right, and all the songs would be forced by his momentum, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
Jiang Wei knew that he had already restrained these generals, and immediately buckled the divine sword Lin Jia on the case, made a loud noise, and shouted: "Beat the drums, gather the generals!" β
The generals no longer have a temper, and they all responded: "The last general obeys the order!" Then they came out.
The spacious tent suddenly left only Jiang Wei and Kou Xun.
Jiang Wei slowly walked in front of Kou Xun, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face, and said in a deep voice: "I miss you for being loyal, this time, I won't blame you." β
A hint of surprise flashed across Kou Xun's face, but he only glanced at Jiang Wei and fell silent again.
Jiang Wei said to himself: "Whether you believe it or not, the general has no malice towards the young general...... Think about it, if the former general dies in Jingzhou because of his refusal to send troops, how can the king of Hanzhong spare him? β
Kou Xun's expression moved, and he was still silent.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei had no choice but to sneer and said: "Forget it, don't explain, since Ben Jiang has already offended him, he won't ask for his forgiveness." If you can successfully rescue the monarch this time, everyone will naturally be happy; If not...... Then there is no need for the major general to hold grudges anymore. β
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and gently placed it on the ground:
"There is one more sentence before leaving. As a member of the major general's family, you should think more about his situation and his future...... If you are truly good for him, memorize the contents of this letter and find an opportunity to speak to him. And remember, don't reveal that this letter was meant to be given to you. β
Kou Xun sneered in his heart.
Who else knows Childe's situation and mentality better than himself?
He may have thought about that position, but this idea had been dispelled long after Liu Chan was born! The only thing he wants is respect from the people around him, not cynicism and malicious slander!
He is the righteous son of the Lord, this is a true fact, is it possible that it can be changed? Childe's temper has become more and more eccentric over the years, isn't it because of this identity?
What kind of good guy do you want you to pretend to be here?
Kou Xun only felt a wave of unexplained disgust.
But when I think of the phrase "if it doesn't work...... Then there is no need for the major general to hold grudges anymore", Kou Xun was still slightly relieved in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally picked up the envelope on the ground.
There was only one piece of cloth inside the envelope, and there was only one word on the cloth:
Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors.
Kou Xun suddenly moved, Huo Ran got up, raised his eyes and looked, the figure of the man was already missing from the tent.
