"You want to say how this can be, don't worry, I'll tell you today, why this is happening, why is it saying this."

Looking at Su Xiu'er's surprised expression, Duan Jian laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Uh-huh..........."

"Hey, hey, before answering this question, I would like to ask you, do you know who has the most power in this world." Duan Jian asked.

"This ...... This, now, it should be the Queen Mother, although the concubine does not understand the affairs of the court, but the Queen Mother can abolish the King of Luling, and her power is greater than that of the emperor, and the concubine still knows this. Su Xiu'er thought for a while and said.

"Hahaha, yes, if you look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, your idea is very right, but have you thought about it, if the world is really the most powerful queen mother, then why did Xu Jingye outside the city rebel, how could he rebel, even if he Xu Jingye was the door, why was he able to gather hundreds of thousands of people to serve him in a short period of time, do you think those people are fools who are not afraid of death." Duan Jian said with a smile.

"This ......., why is this?" Su Xiu'er asked.

Looking at Su Xiu'er's frowning and thoughtful expression, although Duan Jian thought it was very cute, she still replied, "Okay, don't guess, tell you, the ancients, the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together."

This sentence is put in the current words, that is, the Son of Heaven and the wealthy family rule the world together, the Son of Heaven is high, controlling the world, symbolizing people's thoughts, and below, large and small, various wealthy families, forming a group of different sizes, such as ' Five surnames and seven hopes' with a strong influence, in the entire Tang Dynasty has a strong appeal, although now a little down, but the impact is still huge, the small ones are different, some can affect one, some can affect a state and a county, in any case, the entire Datang is full of these wealthy families, it can even be said that it is precisely because of their existence that the entire skeleton of the Tang Dynasty has been formed, if people do not have thoughts, they may not necessarily die, but if there is no skeleton, I am afraid that they will not live for a moment or three, now you understand whose rights are big and whose rights are small！ ”

"You...... Do you mean that this wealthy family is the most powerful and numerous group of people in the whole world? Su Xiu'er asked.

"Yes, how about it, now I understand!"

After hearing Duan Jian's explanation, Su Xiu'er finally understood what Duan Jian meant, compared with Xu Jingye, Duan Jian is probably the most hated person in the world, and it is not ordinary people who hate him, but the wealthy family, the most powerful and largest group in the Tang Dynasty.

Even compared with Xu Jingye, Duan Jian's situation is more dangerous, after all, Xu Jingye seems to be a traitor to the imperial court at present, the biggest thief in the world, but in the eyes of all well-intentioned people, Xu Jingye's background is extremely strong, the court and the people, all the groups that oppose Wu Meiniang, are strong supporters of Xu Jingye, which can be seen from Xu Jingye's rebellion in Yangzhou, hundreds of thousands of troops have been raised in just over ten days, without the support of those wealthy families, Xu Jingye wants to rebel, I'm afraid that before the army was raised, it was pacified.

Do you really think that the wealthy families at this time are like those rich people in later generations, even if they are rich people in later generations, they will recruit a few guards at home, not to mention these wealthy families, if they are really willing, even the current Wang family can form an army of tens of thousands of people.

The reason why Duan Jian looks very leisurely now, one of them is that Duan Jian is not at the center of power, that is, above the court, which is why Duan Jian chose to come to Jiangnan, a relatively remote place, when he came to Jiangnan, it seems that Duan Jian seems to be marginalized, a petty official in a remote place, even if those wealthy families are angry with him, they will not pursue it too much, so that he successfully dodged the attacks of those people.

Second, it is the support from the upper echelons of the imperial court, the so-called upper echelons, in the previous time, it was Gaozong Li Zhi, of course, Wu Meiniang's reason is indispensable, coupled with the interpersonal relationships that the Wang family has drawn over for many years, so that those wealthy families are not in a hurry to do something to Duan Jian.

understands and understands, but Su Xiu'er still didn't understand, what does all this have to do with why Duan Jian didn't kill Xu Jingye.

"Now that you understand, then continue to explain, just now I also said, that Xu Jingye has the support of many people, so he will rise so quickly, and who are the people who support them, the people who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother in their hearts, and who will be dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, it must be the person who is guilty of the Queen Mother, among these people, there are the most people who belong to those wealthy families.

You should also know that after the Queen Mother forced King Luling to abdicate, she issued a series of policies, and these policies are very good policies for the Tang Dynasty and the people, but things are two-sided, these policies are good for the Tang Dynasty and the people, but for those wealthy families who suck blood and eat meat from the Tang Dynasty and the people, it is a big bad, in this case, how can they be willing to accept it.

Before, they accepted it, it was forced by the situation, and they couldn't accept it, but now it's different, with the appearance of Xu Jingye, a stunned young man, they finally found a great opportunity to target the Queen Mother, and even, they are now eager to let Xu Jingye take the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command to go north directly, forcing the Queen Mother to abdicate directly, but unfortunately, this Xu Jingye is not a fool, and he is not willing to be used by them, so he will give up the powerful opportunity, but lead the army south, wanting to have a future for himself. ”

"Is it because of this reason that you gave up killing Xu Jingye?"

"Hahaha, if only it were that simple." Duan Jian shook his head and continued

"The meaning of a certain is not to repay the gratitude, besides, this kind of kindness, a certain would rather not, the reason why a certain let go of killing that Xu Jingye, is because Xu Jingye still has his use value, as long as Xu Jingye exists for a day, the Queen Mother is like a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, making it difficult for her to sit up, in this way, she will be more resentful of those who secretly support Xu Jingye, in this way, over time, this hatred is very powerful, you know, the Queen Mother is still a woman, and women hold grudges, But it's much better than men, and you should know that. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Jian glanced at Xu Xiu'er teasingly, in exchange for a big white eye every day, but unfortunately Duan Jian was not ashamed, but proud, and laughed proudly twice before continuing.

"Therefore, the bigger the trouble Xu Jingye makes, even if it is to cause more trouble for those big families, you wait and see, after Xu Jingye's rebellion is quelled, those people will wait to repay the debt, and it is also a loan shark that can never be replaced, which can be regarded as a disguised relief for myself."

"But....... But......... But aren't you afraid of raising tigers, so did Xu Jingye really win Runzhou City? After hearing Duan Jian's explanation, Su Xiu'er finally understood Duan Jian's thoughts, and at the same time, out of the idea of helping relatives and not helping her, he also agreed with Duan Jian's thoughts, after all, compared to her husband, what does the life and death of other people count, even if everyone in the world is dead, as long as Duan Jian can live, she will be satisfied.

"Then Runzhou City, don't worry, if there is no so-and-so, it is still possible for Xu Jingye to want to take Runzhou City, but since so-and-so is here, he wants to take Runzhou City, it is whimsical, and he has discussed with Wen Yurong and others for so many days, but it is not aimless, as long as half of the plan they formulated is used, it is unknown whether the more than 100,000 troops outside the city can still exist." Duan Jian said quite arrogantly.

"Well, the slave believes."

..............................

Compared with Duan Jian's presence in Runzhou City, accompanied by smoked wine beauties, and the cheerful meaning of talking freely, Xu Jingye, who became a man, was extremely irritable, even if he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, everyone could still feel the monstrous anger in his heart.

"Three thousand, three thousand, less than an hour, it's gone, are you all a group of pigs, even if the governor of Pontus lets three thousand pigs go up, I'm afraid he can gnaw off a few bricks in Runzhou City, you are good, 20,000 people went up, 3,000 people were killed in the battle, and they didn't even touch the city wall, you said, what is the use of you, I knew that this was the case, and I should have dug a pit for all of you and buried it, so that at least I could save a little military rations."

Standing in the big tent, when there were a few high-ranking generals left in the big tent, Xu Jingye couldn't help but scold.

Indeed, since the night attack last night, Xu Jingye has suppressed a fire in his heart, and when it was dawn, he quickly gathered all the soldiers and launched the first attack on Runzhou City.

I have to say that Xu Jingye is still relatively capable in command, which can be seen from the fact that after they went south, they broke through those cities, although most of the reason was that because of the strength of the Xu army, those cities had to surrender, but in the face of those recalcitrant cities, the Xu army was still extremely combative.

It's a pity that there is no victorious general in the world, and no one dares to guarantee that the next stop will not be their own Waterloo, and in the matter of attacking Runzhou City, Xu Jingye finally experienced the taste of failure.

The vanguard of 20,000 people, in Xu Jingye's opinion, is enough to break through a small city like Runzhou City, after all, Runzhou City is not a famous city, although the city wall is much higher than the average county seat, it is also limited.

Just when Xu Jingye thought that his attack this time, even if he couldn't take Runzhou City in one fell swoop, it would cause huge losses to Runzhou City, but the reality was like a slap in the face, after rounding his arm, he gave him a hard slap.

The army of 20,000 people, in the face of the strict defense of Runzhou City, did not even touch the city gate, and then dispersed, and the team of 20,000 people died 3,000 people on the spot, nearly half of the loss, not counting those who were injured, not to mention the lightly injured, those who were shot by sharp arrows and were trapped, there are nearly 2,000 such people, so to speak, a battle that is not considered a battle, 20,000 people lost a quarter.

In such a situation, don't talk about Xu Jingye, a fledgling young general, even if he is replaced by an experienced veteran, I am afraid I can't believe it.

In fact, this is nothing, Duan Jian has the experience of later generations, with the addition of Wen Yurong, Zhou Xing and others, and then mobilized the huge action of tens of thousands of people in the entire Runzhou in advance, not to mention 20,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people, whether they can attack it is also unknown, which is also the reason why Duan Jian dared to talk with beautiful women in a relaxed conversation during the war.

"The Metropolitan Governor also asks to calm his anger, this time there is a small setback in our army, in fact, it is not a big deal, the next attack, as long as the soldiers are prepared, it will definitely be fine." Looking at the furious Xu Jingye, Xue Zhongzhang couldn't help but persuade.

"Calm your anger, how do you let the governor of Pontus calm his anger, three thousand people, these three thousand people are all selected elites, they died in such a silent battle, how do you let the governor of Pontus calm his anger, and also, this Runzhou City looks like a small city, but I didn't expect that there would be so many traps, it seems that the old man Li Siwen has already started to prepare, and now he has finally given the governor of Pontus a lesson." After Xu Jingye heard Xue Zhongzhang's advice, not only did he not stop his anger, but instead became angry and roared angrily.

Seeing Xu Jingye's abnormal appearance, everyone couldn't help frowning, to be honest, the people in the big tent are all people who are determined to rebel against Wu Meiniang, the reason is very simple, they all have a grudge against Wu Meiniang because of various encounters, and among these people, such as Xue Zhongzhang, Li Zongchen, Luo Bingwang, although they have been derogated by Wu Meiniang, it does not mean that they are incapable, on the contrary, their ability is beyond doubt, just like Luo Bingwang, an article "Seeking Wu Cao for Li Jingye" The book can be said to have shocked the world, and now Xu Jingye's army is so huge, no one can say that there is no effect of Luo Bingwang's book.

Therefore, it is precisely because of their talent that these people are unwilling to live a life of idleness, but their future of progress is gone, or in other words, as long as Wu Meiniang exists for a day, they can only struggle in pain below, in this case, they can only regain their future and everything by overthrowing Wu Meiniang, and Xu Jingye is the foundation for them to realize their ideals.

The previous Xu Jingye made them very satisfied, but now seeing that after experiencing a small setback, Xu Jingye has changed a lot, and many people secretly muttered in their hearts, 'Can this kind of guy who has a big change in personality when he encounters a little setback, really be able to make his wish come true?' ’
