Chapter 1205: The Last Days of the Great Shuai (Form 3)
In Jinghu County, the sky has not yet dawned, but the city gate has been opened.
A carriage creaked out of the gate hole, and behind the carriage, the men who followed made the soldiers guarding the gate dumbfounded. Although there are not many people who come, every one of them is a big man in Jinghu County, and it can even be said that in the entire Dachu, they are all well-known names.
Of course, these people are here to see them off, and everyone's faces are different, some are quiet, some are sad and angry, and some are secretly sorry.
Cheng Wuben had already received the holy order to return to Beijing to report on his work, and Yang Qing, the commander of the internal guards, came to announce the decree in person, and there were 1,000 internal guards and horses who entered the city with him.
Jinghu County is very calm, Cheng Wu has already made preparations, before Yang Qing entered the city, he had already moved with Bian Wushuang and handed over the Marshal's Mansion to Bian Wushuang.
Yang Qing's time was extremely good, and the day after Bian Wushuang entered the city, he appeared in Jinghu County.
Cheng Wuben's salute was extremely simple, he didn't even bring the armor and weapons that had been with him for many years, and he left these things to Jiang Shangyan. Dressed in cloth clothes, the two elders walked together, and they calmly walked out of the Marshal's Mansion.
Cheng Wuben's family originally lived in Jinghu County, but now, they are gone, Yang Qing didn't even ask, he knew very well in his heart that as long as Cheng Wuben was willing to go back to Beijing with him, he could bring him back to Beijing safely, and everything else was a floating cloud.
If you still want to kill others, I'm afraid that whether you can get out of Jinghu County is a problem. Since Cheng Wuben had already made arrangements, Yang Qing didn't feel that he had the ability to sabotage Cheng Wuben's plan.
Your Majesty, all you want is a book.
Trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice, is Yang Qing's truest inner portrayal now, if he does not step out of Jinghu County for a day, he will not be at ease for a day.
He believed that Cheng Wuben would never make trouble, but Cheng Wuben's subordinates couldn't say for sure. Even though Cheng Wuben had sent all his cronies and generals out to fight against the Qi army, the hostility he felt after Yang Qing entered the city yesterday was still overwhelming.
Yang Qing is the commander of the internal guard, this is a yamen that makes all the officials of Dachu talk about the tiger, everyone is eager to retreat, and never have any contact with this yamen, but after entering the city yesterday, Yang Qing can feel the full malice and hatred of those people who do not shy away from him.
This made him feel very bitter in his heart, and he wanted to tell these people that I was also fighting for my country, and I had just come down from the flames of the battlefield. But he also knew that it was useless to say anything, because the person he was going to take away was Cheng Wuben. This alone is enough to make them hate themselves for the rest of their lives.
Yang Qing didn't even dare to live in the city, and after Cheng Wuben received the order, he went straight out of the city and stationed outside the city with his thousand internal guards. There is no need to monitor Cheng Wuben, because if Cheng Wuben really wants to do something, he, a thousand people in Jinghu County, can't even splash a wave.
Even if Bian Wushuang is now in Jinghu County.
Because it was not only the army of the original Jinghu County who supported Cheng Wuben, but also the people of Jinghu County. If those ordinary soldiers or ordinary people knew the outcome of Cheng Wuben after leaving Jinghu County this time, Yang Qing felt that those angry people would tear themselves to pieces.
When the city gate was opened, Yang Qing had already gathered outside the city with a thousand of his subordinates, leading the horse and standing in the shadows of the city that the lights could not shine, and no one could see the expression on his face.
Dressed in cloth clothes and with a breeze on his sleeves, Cheng Wuben, who walked out of the door, turned around and turned to Zeng Lin, Suqian and other civil and military officials who saw him off behind him, clasped their fists with both hands and slammed them to the ground.
Everyone bowed deeply.
"Everyone, to recover the land and revitalize Dachu, please!" Cheng Wuben straightened up, "Before leaving, Cheng has a few words for you, gathering together is the beginning, unity is the process, and joint efforts are success." Da Chu is now stormy, and Cheng can't force anything, just ask everyone, just be worthy of your heart. Leave! ”
Cheng Wuben turned around, straightened his body, and walked forward, and Bian Wushuang, who had been by his side, walked out closely, "Cheng Shuai, this last journey, Bian will send him off!" ”
Cheng Wuben looked sideways at Bian Wushuang, who had a calm face, and smiled: "Okay." ”
The two walked side by side, and a faint sobbing sound came from behind them.
The two walked forward slowly, and in front of them was Yang Qing's internal guards, but both of them seemed to ignore them, and wherever they passed, the internal guards rode out of the way and made a passage for the two.
Yang Qing's face was a little complicated, he stood in place with the horse, watching the two of them gradually walk away, and behind him, two veterans led the carriage and slowly followed, and in the carriage, Cheng Wuben's wife was sitting.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the city gate, countless civil and military officials were still standing at the city gate.
Yang Qing sighed, led the horse and followed the carriage, "Let's go!" "He was a little lonely.
The smooth gallop stretched into the distance in front of the two, and the two seemed to be old friends for many years, walking side by side.
"What is Bian Shuai going to do next?" Cheng Wuben asked casually.
"After a little rest, the next step is to continue the march." Bian Wushuang said: "The six eastern counties will be brought back at least three counties this year." This is to live up to Your Majesty's trust in me! ”
Cheng Wuben smiled: "Actually, with Zhou Jiyun's strength now, even if he gets all the six counties back, there is not much of a problem." ”
"That's the truth, but I can't do it!" Bian Wushuang said: "I don't want to help Emperor Qi too much, it's almost enough to get to this point, I have to leave some capital for Zhou Jiyun, so that they can add a little more chaos to Emperor Qi." ”
Cheng Wuben nodded appreciatively: "Cheng has always been worried that Bian Shuai will march forward in order to repay His Majesty's kindness, which is good, very good." Bian Shuai, you are a bystander, dare to ask me where is Da Chu's biggest problem now? ”
"The foreign enemy is appeased, but the internal strife is difficult to recover!" Bian Wushuang said simply.
"Well said!" Cheng Wuben glanced at Bian Wushuang appreciatively: "Sure enough, it's a bystander, this matter, the old man has only recently thought it through." ”
"Dare to ask?" Bian Wushuang asked.
"The Emperor of Qi is using us as a knife! Zhou Jiyun's representative of the wealthy family of the Qi State, the army under his jurisdiction, it can be said that it is basically controlled by the wealthy family, the Emperor of Qi did not dare to act rashly, but let Zhou Jiyun attack us, let us continue to consume the strength of the Zhou Department, until now, the purpose of the Emperor of Qi can be said to have reached most of it. Bian Shuai saw through this and wanted to leave Zhou Jiyun some capital to fight against Emperor Qi, which was very good. As long as there is no peace in the Qi State for a day, the Qi army will not dare to use troops against us, because there is another big old worry lying beside him. Mingguo! ”
He looked in the direction of Da Ming with emotion, "With the rise of Qin Feng, the old man has also made a lot of efforts, but I really can't imagine that he can do this, and now even the Qin State is about to fall into his hands, who will be his next target?" ”
"Of course it's Da Chu!" Bian Wushuang intercepted.
"Yes, it's Da Chu." Cheng Wu nodded knowingly: "Qi Guo is hard-working, but it is easy to deal with, they themselves have not wiped off their butt of shit now, as long as I am united, I can naturally stop it." The Ming people are soft knives, one knife at a time, stabbing at our vital point, the chaos of Chu today, the initiator, Qin Feng. ”
"Cheng Shuai can see clearly, this time the victory of the Great Chu is just a slight recovery of the decline, as far as the national situation is concerned, the Chu State is actually in constant decline, and the all-round penetration of the Ming Dynasty into the Chu State is already unstoppable." Bian Wushuang Road.
"Where can you see clearly? I came here after Bian Shuai came, and I had the leisure to think carefully about what had happened in the past two years, and I saw the flowers in the fog! The old man has been diligent in military affairs all his life, but in other aspects, he is very reckless. Bian Shuai is an understanding person, I just ask, is Da Chu still saved? ”
"Difficult!" Bian Wushuang Road.
"Will you do your best for Da Chu?"
"Of course!" Bian Wushuang smiled: "This is the truth. ”
Cheng Wuben stopped, looked at Bian Wushuang, and said after a while: "If there is really a day when the Chu State is irretrievable, please also ask Bian Shuai to put the great Chu people first." ”
"Isn't it important to be royal?" Bian Wushuang asked rhetorically.
"It's irretrievable, so naturally I can't take care of it." Cheng Wuben had a resolute look on his face, "It's better for one family to cry than to cry all the way and one country to cry, not to mention, the people who will rule this land in the future may still have the blood of the Min family in their veins." This may be the only comfort for the former emperor. ”
Bian Wushuang laughed: "Cheng Shuai is trying to persuade me to surrender to the Ming Kingdom when that time comes?" I have a deep hatred with Qin Feng! ”
Cheng Wuben narrowed his eyes and looked at Bian Wushuang, "You are not a loyal minister of the Qin State, and you will not become a loyal minister of the Chu State, what you seek is just the longevity of the Bian Clan." My request to you is, before the form is unknown, please do your best for the Chu State, Bian Wushuang, maybe with your efforts, the Great Chu can be reborn from the ashes? At that time, you will be the Zhongxing minister of Great Chu, and you will definitely go down in history, and your Bian family will also become the first wealthy family of Great Chu, which is much better than if you went to the Ming Kingdom. ”
Bian Wushuang laughed. "Okay, I'm done. Before the form was unclear, Bian would inevitably fight bloodily for Da Chu and worry about it, but when it came time to do nothing, Bian Wu would definitely worry about the common people in the world and not make senseless killings! ”
"That's it!" Cheng Wuben arched his hand: "Don't leave it at that!" ”
The carriage creaked over, and Cheng Wuben jumped into the carriage.
Watching the carriage gradually move away, Bian Wushuang clasped his hands into fists and bowed down.
"Bian has never really admired a person in his life, not even Li Dashuai, but today, there is finally one. Cheng Shuai, go all the way! ”
