Years of anticipation is about to become a reality, Wang Chongwen's heart suddenly did not have the slightest joy, under Xie Bozhi's needle, Wang Chongwen met Guan Suo in Shanshuitai, Wang Chongwen originally did not want to see him, he knew the purpose of Guan Suo's trip, it was Li Qing's intention to arrest Yang Hao, and Long Mingyue, Hao Zan and others were naturally happy to see it, if he let Yang Hao go, he would undoubtedly offend these people, Long Mingyue and Hao Zan would not be fine, the key was Li Qing, how would he explain to her,

Because of Li Qing's affairs, Wang Chongwen almost met Yang Hao several times, but Wang Chongwen still appreciates Yang Hao's behavior, which is also the fundamental reason why he has been able to withstand the pressure of all parties and never clash head-on with Fengzhou.

Wang Chongwen is not a person who defends the city, although there is a weak side of his nature, but the young heart, the heart of the expansion of territory, the heat of making contributions is still surging, since he took charge of Shuofang, he reorganized the armament, enriched the arsenal, in a few years to conquer the east and west, and successively recovered some of the towns and towns occupied by the Tubo, Shatuo, and Uighurs. The Buddhist believer Zampu Keli Kezu and his favored monk Bo Xibu sent envoys to Lingzhou three times in a row to discuss friendly trade on the border.

Fengzhou was originally the jurisdiction of Shuofang, and it occupied an extremely important position geographically, and the time to recover Fengzhou was very ripe, but Wang Chongwen delayed again and again, so that he finally gave up the plan to send troops north to recover the old land, he was not afraid of Yang Hao, nor was he not confident in his army, he didn't want his own people to kill each other,

Tubo has begun to decline, Wang Chongwen has always wanted to restore the towns of Longxi that they took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion, Shuofang is a big town, but in the face of a huge empire with a population of eight million and an army of 400,000, Wang Chongwen still feels his insignificance, and he doesn't want to consume his limited strength in the endless internal struggle.

But this time, he had to do this, Li Qing was the female voice in his heart, her words were equivalent to a holy decree to him, every sentence was worth his life to complete, Li Qing wanted him to arrest Yang Hao, he didn't think about it, he arrested it,

After Yang Hao was put in prison, he felt very guilty, and when Xie Bozhi persuaded him to see Guan Suo, Wang Chongwen was even a little panicked, he really didn't know what to say to Guan Suo.

That night, he only took one of Xie Bo to see Guan Suo, and before leaving, Xie Bo asked him to bring more guards over for safety, Wang Chongwen refused, he expected that Guan Suo would not have any disrespect to him,

Guan Suo was dressed in civilian clothes, waiting in the west wind hall under the landscape platform, Wang Chongwen didn't expect that the legendary all-powerful Guan Suo was such a young and elegant teenager, the two were quite familiar at first sight, after a few words of greeting, Guan Suo directly told his intentions and asked Wang Chongwen to release Yang Hao,

Xie Bozhi heard this and hid to the side under the pretext of looking at the wind, he wanted to leave a way back for himself, according to his understanding of Li Qing, this golden branch and jade leaf will soon become the hostess of Shuo Fang, in case she will find out who let Yang Hao go in the future, this account must not be chased to his head,

Wang Chongwen smiled when he heard this, looked at the young man in front of him again, and asked, "I want to hear it, what reason do you have for letting me go." ”

Guan Suo said: "Her Royal Highness the princess was angry with Lord Yang because of Yang Kai's death, and was provoked by Jin Taoyin, so she designed to harm Lord Yang, as for the grievances and grievances between Her Royal Highness the princess and my family, I won't say more, presumably the young marshal has also heard of it." ”

Wang Chongwen nodded, and did not deny it, the little relationship between Li Qing and Yang Hao and Yang Kai, he knew it clearly, whether Li Qing was really angry with Yang Hao because of Yang Kai's death, or if there was something else hidden, Wang Chongwen didn't dare to draw conclusions for the time being, but Guan Suo counted all the reasons on Li Qing, which made Wang Chongwen a little disgusted, so he said:

"So what, Lord Yang has indeed angered Her Royal Highness the Princess, she wants to take such a breath, I have to help her."

"In order to let Her Royal Highness the princess breathe, I want my family to die unjustly, what consequences this will cause, hasn't the young marshal thought about it." The rope is very tight,

Wang Chongwen pretended to be surprised and said, "I want to ask General Guan." ”

Guan Suo took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Chongwen: "This is what Lord Yang gave me before he set off to escort the princess south, in duplicate, and it is equally valid." Wang Chongwen felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the letter to watch, with only two lines on it: "This go to Lingzhou or be harmed by traitors, if I am in trouble, the Xining army will avenge me, and he can succeed as the lord of Fengzhou." "This is a warrant that Yang Hao left for his two cronies, one is in Guan Suo's hand, and the other is in Zhu Qi's hand.

Wang Chongwen naturally understood the weight of this warrant, his face changed slightly, he handed Yang Hao's warrant back to Guan Suo, and said with a smile: "Since Lord Yang has already reached such a catastrophe, why should he take the risk alone." ”

"Our lord is a person who values love and righteousness, when Chang'an was in trouble, the princess came to the rescue, this grace he has always kept in mind, the heart of retribution has not been extinguished, in the early years of the opening, Qiu Shiliang sent Bo Zhongyan to lobby the young marshal, in exchange for the princess marrying Lingzhou as a condition in exchange for the young marshal to send troops to attack Fengzhou, this matter was ended because Dong Bacheng defeated Feng'an,

"Her Royal Highness the princess saw the crisis, she sent Jin Taoyin to Feng'an to see the adult, and asked the adult to try to deal with it, the adult was grateful for the old kindness, and did not want Qiu Shiliang to form an alliance with the young marshal to deal with Fengzhou, so she went to Chang'an to take Yang Kai to Feng'an, and wanted to cultivate him to establish military merits, so that he would be a princess and a horse in the future."

When Wang Chongwen heard this, he was uncomfortable, he had also heard a little about Yang Kai leaving Beijing to go to Fengzhou, and he had made many guesses, but after all, it was difficult to understand the mystery.

"That Yang Kai was originally a detailed work of the Judgment Hall, and he was assassinated shortly after arriving in Fengzhou, the case is still unsolved, and it is impossible to find out who the real culprit is behind the scenes, Her Royal Highness the Princess regrets that he is dissatisfied with our lordship, at the beginning of the year, Qiu Shiliang pacified the Jiannan Rebellion, and he wanted to concentrate on solving the matter of Fengzhou,

He also knew that the Xining Army was no longer what it used to be, and it might not be able to please the arrogant and extravagant Shence Army, so he brought up the old matter again, and still wanted to win over the young marshal, and the best way to win over the young marshal was to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Yichun to Lingzhou, and before the official operation of this matter, he deliberately revealed Yang Kai's true identity to Her Royal Highness the Princess,

"The Judgment Hall and the Thorn Horse Battalion have been fighting for many years, and the blood feud has long been known to the world, Yang Kai of the Judgment Hall died violently in Fengzhou, which is controlled by the Thorn Horse Battalion, isn't it funny, sure enough, the princess was fooled, she decided that Yang Kai's death was planned by our adults, and she was determined to avenge the death of Yang Kai."

Speaking of this, Suo paused for a moment and asked Wang Chongwen: "I don't know if the young marshal can send someone to find out the truth about the princess's robbery on a moonlit night." ”

Wang Chongwen said: "The truth I know is that those Shatuo people are pretending to be people, Long Shilang, General Hao and more than a dozen Jin Wuwei soldiers can testify, you dare to say that these have nothing to do with Lord Yang." ”

Guan Suo said: "They are all my subordinates, all of this is done according to the will of Her Royal Highness the princess herself, the young marshal can doubt it, but this is the case, the princess's revenge plan is launched, all the details are interlocking, step by step into the trap set up, and capture my family in the Wuhai City color shed." ”

Wang Chongwen refuted: "Hugh wants to put all the blame on the princess." ”

Guan Suo shouted angrily: "This is the case, how can it be argued. ”

Wang Chongwen took a breath and stopped talking, saying that Yang Hao kidnapped the princess, this kind of speech is too treacherous and incredible, what benefit can Yang Hao do to himself, Wang Chongwen has never sent someone to investigate the truth of the robbery, he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the cruelty after the truth is revealed, instead of asking for trouble, it is better to cover the lid and never open it,

"The matter has come to this point, hasn't the young marshal understood it, this is completely Her Royal Highness the princess is planning to take revenge on my family." Guan Suo pressed over step by step, but he also knew in his heart that it was not that he had persuaded Wang Chongwen of all this, but that Wang Chongwen had already seen all this.

"If Lord Yang suffers from Lingzhou, the 20,000 troops of the Xining Army will immediately assemble and move south, and by then, more than ten prefectures in Shuofang will become a scorched earth."

Wang Chongwen Senran sneered: "Your Excellency may not overestimate yourself too much. ”

Guan Suo said: "Whether it is overestimated, the young marshal himself knows better, just a few days ago, in the north of Wuhai City, at the mouth of the river, Hu Shide's 5,000 Flying Fish Army fought against two battalions of our army, you are waiting for work, but as a result, 2,000 people were almost wiped out by my 1,000 people, and our casualties were less than 300 people, the Flying Fish Army is the elite of the Shuo Fang's elite, the Flying Fish Army is still like this, and the other armies of Shuo Fang are afraid that it will not be much better." ”

The defeat of the two thousand Flying Fish Army at the mouth of the river has become a piece of Wang Chongwen's heart disease, Lou Heyan and Hu Shide are called Shuo Fang Shuangbi, is the backbone of Shuo Fang's army, Hu Shide told him after the defeat that the Xining army is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, the combat power is very fierce, and the Shuo army is really not suitable to fight with it.

Lou Chuan also came to the conclusion that when the Shuofang army was five times larger than the Xining army, it could only fight, and less than this number to go to the battle was tantamount to suicide, how many people were in the Xining army, Guan Suo said that it was 20,000, Wang Chongwen's intelligence showed that it was nearly 20,000 regular troops, about 60,000 people's army, and about 20,000 servant troops, totaling nearly 100,000 people, Shuo Fang could not afford 500,000 people no matter what, not to mention 500,000, 100,000 people would be difficult to make up, besides, the west of Shuofang was Tubo, and the relationship between the two families was good and bad, who could guarantee that he would be in time with Xining's arms. The Tibetan people do not take advantage of the fire to rob,

Before the fledgling, it was still rare to fight with an army with a high level of technology and tactics and rich combat experience like the Xining Army, Wang Chongwen thought of a compromise, although he was a little unwilling in his heart, but in addition, he really couldn't think of a better way, he couldn't ruin the hard work of several generations of the Wang family because he married a princess,

Lingzhou really clashed with Fengzhou, and the only one who benefited was Qiu Shiliang, who was hiding behind his back and using conspiracy,

"I can let Lord Yang go, but he must give me two promises, first, promise not to invade Shuofang and Chen Bing's border from now on, and second, you don't have any more dealings with Qu Ze and give Qu Ze to Shuo Fang."

Guan Suo said: "Give Qu Zebu to you, he will never agree, at most, you and I will not interfere in Qu Zebu." Wang Chongwen said that it was acceptable, and Guan Suo said: "You give me half an hour, and I will persuade him to agree to your conditions." ”
