Chapter 520: The Lord Guild misses me very much

Song Zhengben took a sip of wine, and said in a sad voice: "King Xia was defeated in Dongping County, and the army of more than 100,000 troops was annihilated, and when he was in Yuncheng, the general Su Dingfang was ambushed by Xu Shiji, the military division of Yanyunzhai, and only a few hundred people escaped from the more than 20,000 vanguard troops. After spending more than a month with Xu Shiji, King Xia decided to return to the army, but he was stuck by Xu Shiji's soldiers and horses, and was copied by Yanyun thief Wu Yun on the south bank of the Yellow River, and was defeated! ”

He drank all the wine and sighed: "In that bloody battle, it is said that the waterways of the Yellow River for dozens of miles are red, and the corpses piled up in the river almost cut off the flow of the Yellow River!" King Xia fought his way out of the siege under the protection of the personal guard camp, and when he escaped, there were less than 3,000 people around him, and if it weren't for the Zhishilang Wang Bo Ying, he might not have been able to escape at all. ”

After arriving in Jibei County, King Xia only took less than a hundred guards to break away from the brigade, quietly crossed the Yellow River and returned north, and suffered a lot along the way before returning to Zhaozhou. After coming back, he closed the door, only me, Kong Deshao, and a few people in the palace knew, you said, why is this King Xia? ”

Wang Yunyan thought about it and analyzed: "Is it that King Xia was defeated and is in a bad mood and plans to rest for a while?" ”

"If only it were that simple!"

Song Zhengben frowned and said: "Because of the defeat in Dongping County, the powerful generals around King Xia were almost lost, and the original four generals, Liu Heimin, were killed by Li Xian, the king of Yan, and the Flying Bear Army was wiped out. Until now, I haven't found out where Li Xian is, and Liu Heimin just died. Su Dingfang didn't fight in Yuncheng, Wang Fubao was locked up in the prison, and there was only one straw bale Cao Dan left! ”

When Cao Dan was mentioned, Song Zhengben's tone was full of disdain.

"In the bloody battle on the south bank of the Yellow River, the first person to become a deserter was none other than General Cao Da, who was a wine bag and rice bag! If he wasn't Madame Cao's brother, how could King Xia tolerate him? ”

Wang Yunyan sighed and said: "It's not good for King Xia to do this, because a defeat will divide the five horses of General Yin Qiu, and General Cao Dan escaped from the battle without punishment?" It's hard to convince the public, right? ”

"Who doesn't know!"

Song Zhengben said indignantly: "But this matter will be over in the end, even I don't dare to touch my head during the days when King Xia is angry, let alone a shameless villain like Kong Deshao who can only slap his beard." As for Mrs. Cao, how could she watch her eldest brother accept the guilt? It's not that you don't know, King Xia is also a ......"

Wang Yunyan nodded, with a clear face.

"That's not the point."

Song Zhengben said: "The key is that the army has been defeated, the generals have died too much, and now there are few people in our Great Xia army who can use it, Dugu Shao, Li Dangdang, Mo Chou, these three people are quite useful." But these three people are not qualified enough, even if they are promoted to generals, it is difficult to convince the public. So ......"

"So King Xia plans to release General Wang Fubao?"

Wang Yunyan asked tentatively.

"And Cheng Mingzhen!"

Song Zhengben said with annoyance: "Wang Fubao is okay, after all, he once had a marriage contract with the county lord, and that Cheng Mingzhen said that he was a person who couldn't stay, how could King Xia be so confused and want to release him?" Cheng Mingzhen is very popular with the people in Zhaozhou, once he has an antipathy, the situation is difficult to control! ”

"Adult ......"

Wang Yunyan sighed and said, "With all due respect, it's wrong for adults to think like this......"

"Oh?"

Song Zhengben was not angry, his eyes changed and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Yunyan thought for a while and lowered her voice and said, "Cheng Mingzhen is a scourge, and he is indeed early and down-to-earth. King Xia is so wise, how could he not think of this? It's just a stopgap measure to reactivate him now, sir, what do you think, if only General Wang Fubao is reactivated and Cheng Mingzhen is locked up in prison, what will those generals in the army think? Cheng Mingzhen was imprisoned for interceding for Wang Fubao, Wang Fubao was released, how could there be any reason not to let Cheng Mingzhen go? ”

"Therefore, even if King Xia is unwilling to release Cheng Mingzhen, he must release it, unless neither of them is released."

Song Zhengben shook his head and sighed, "That's impossible!" ”

He glanced at Wang Yunyan and said: "You don't know, how many good things the county lord Dou Hongxian has said for Wang Fubao in front of King Xia in the past few days, King Xia is also moved because of the incompetent generals under him, Xu Shiji is making a lot of fun in the south, and the most worrying thing is that Luo Yi has also fought the Juma River, how can it be done without anyone leading the troops?" I'm afraid that as soon as Ming'er goes to the court in the early summer, the first thing he will do is to release Wang Fubao and Cheng Mingzhen to reactivate. ”

"Cheng Mingzhen don't have to worry, my lord ......"

Wang Yunyan looked at Song Zhengben with deep meaning and said: "I remember you said that it was precisely because you did not hesitate to offend the county lord Dou that you also advocated taking Wang Fubao, if he reactivated and became a general, it would not be a good thing for you." ”

Song Zhengben sighed: "It is precisely because of this worry that King Xia has always emphasized martial arts and light literature, and once Wang Fubao is reinstated, he will naturally target me, and now the generals who are reused by King Xia are Dugu Shao, and Li Dangdang is Wang Fubao's general, his strength is too strong, and even I am not sure that he can restrain it." ”

"It is an eternal truth that the troubled times are heavy on martial arts, and in prosperous times, this is an eternal truth, so it is inevitable that King Xia will reuse military generals."

Wang Yunyan thought for a while and said, "The key question now is, how do you face the crisis? ”

……

……

Song Zhengben sighed: "It's because of this matter that I'm troubled, you don't look at the problem in the court, people say that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, anyway, I'm a mess now, I can't think of a clue, you help me think about it." ”

Wang Yunyan pondered for a while and said, "Then it depends on whether you want to be stable for the time being, or once and for all." ”

"How?"

Song Zhengben asked.

Wang Yunyan smiled and said: "The method of temporary stability is also simple, and when the court is made tomorrow, the adults will take the lead in standing up and asking King Xia to release Wang Fubao and Cheng Mingzhen, this kind of thing, to be the first to be the first is not just to follow the trend, after Wang Fubao came out, I heard that you mentioned it first, and naturally I am grateful to you." Moreover, because you insisted on sending him to prison at the beginning, and now you support his release, King Xia will also look at you differently. Because whether you are caught or released, you have no selfish intentions, you are all thinking about Daxia and King Xia! ”

"Well said!"

Song Zhengben stroked his palms and said: "I am thinking about King Xia, and there is absolutely no selfishness in it." ”

"After General Wang Fubao came out, the adults immediately sent people to send more generous gifts to make friends, and when necessary, even the adults could come to the door in person to apologize. King Xia has just been defeated, Wang Fubao will never fail to see the situation and deal with you, he will also be a favor, and it seems that he will get along with you safely on the surface. ”

"But!"

Wang Yunyan's tone changed and said: "Wang Fubao is not an open-minded person, at this time in an extraordinary period, his reconciliation with you does not mean that he will be like this in the future, once he is in military power, I am afraid that when the time comes, the first one will target you." ”

"That's what worries me."

Song Zhengben said: "You can talk about the method once and for all." ”

"Do you still need me to say this?"

Wang Yunyan pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "This method, I guess you haven't thought about it, my lord." ”

"Difficult!"

Song Zhengben's face changed, and he said with a headache: "He has just been released from prison, King Xia wants to reuse him, and it will be even more difficult to start after returning to the army!" ”

"Now that my lord has made it clear, then I won't be oblivious."

Wang Yunyan said: "The adults only think that it is difficult to start after Wang Fubao comes out, didn't the adults think about taking advantage of him not coming out?" As far as I know, Wu Bushan, the general arrest of Wu Bushan in the Zhaozhou Mansion is a ruthless person, as long as he is offered a good price, there is no goods he dare not sell, and it is not difficult for him to sell a human head, and he has not done less of this kind of thing, right? As long as he is still in the dungeon, no one is more convenient than Wu Bushan. As long as the adults put pressure on Wu Bushan and give him some heavy benefits, Wu Bushan will definitely give in. ”

"After getting rid of Wang Fubao, my lord, if you want to pinch to death a small Zhaozhou Mansion, it's not a trivial matter? Besides, at this juncture, Wang Fubao died in the dungeon, even if King Xia was willing to let Wu Bushan go, could Lord Dou let him go? Wu Bushan died, what are you worried about? ”

"As for Cheng Mingzhen, this person doesn't have to worry about anything, his subordinates have been broken up and distributed to various armies, even if he is re-appointed, he won't be able to turn over any big storms, and after a while, you can find a reason to sue him in front of King Xia, and King Xia will naturally not let go of the opportunity to eliminate hidden dangers. I estimate that even if you don't come forward, my lord, King Xia will find a way to get rid of Cheng Mingzhen by himself, after all, letting him out is just to appease the army. ”

"Wonderful!"

Song Zhengben clapped his hands and smiled: "Nian Qi, you are really wronged if you don't become an official, with your talent, it is not difficult to govern the country." ”

"My lord praised it falsely, I just want to save the lives of my family in the troubled times, and make a few small sums of money to make a living, as for joining the office, forget it, I don't want to lose my life in vain. My lord, this matter should be sooner rather than later, tomorrow King Xia will go to the court, my lord, you better make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"I know!"

Song Zhengben got up, and Wang Yunyan hurriedly helped him put on his clothes.

Song Zhengben said: "I'll go to see Wu Bushan in person." ”

"My lord, it's better to watch Wang Fubao die with my own eyes, I understand that Wu Bushan is a duplicitous villain, if you don't stare with your own eyes, he said that he will get tired of something, he lied that Wang Fubao is dead, if Wang Fubao appears in the court tomorrow, your future will be over."

"Thank you!"

Song Zhengben nodded solemnly and said: "After today, you and I will be friends of life and death!" ”

After finishing speaking, Song Zhengben left quickly.

After watching his back disappear, Wang Yunyan's eyes changed and he sneered and muttered, "After today, can you still tolerate me alive?" ”

Song Zheng got out of the Star Picking Tower and got into the carriage, and before getting into the car, he glanced back at the signboard of the Star Picking Tower and smiled coldly. He lifted the curtain and whispered to the groom who was driving the car: "Before tomorrow evening, I don't want to see the Star Picking Tower in Zhaozhou City, and I don't want to see Wang Yunyan." ”

"Subordinates know how to do it."

The groom who was driving the car nodded, his face gloomy.

After Song Zhengben's carriage disappeared at the corner of the street, the young man standing at the door of the Star Picking Building immediately went in, and after a short time, Wang Yunyan, the owner of the Star Picking Building, who had changed his clothes, came out of the back door, got into a carriage and whispered to the groom: "Go to Lord Kong Deshaw's mansion, hurry up!" ”

The groom who was driving the car answered, turned around and asked, "Are you going to close the net?" ”

Wang Yunyan retracted into the carriage and replied with a smile: "It's time to close the net and go home, after going out for so long, without me by my side, how lonely is the lord?" Think about me too much? ”

"It's a pity for this building."

He muttered, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned with a hint of regret in pride.
