Chapter 7: The Prosperous Age (Part 3)
Her last sentence was too literary, and the heroes couldn't understand it. But Xie Yingdeng, who was far behind everyone, was like being sprinkled with cold water, and the whole person immediately sobered up. "A woman from a wild background chooses a husband, and she also knows how to pick and choose, she doesn't intend to rely on people to achieve wealth, and she refuses to be dazzled by the ethereal future, Xie Yingdeng, Xie Yingdeng, why are you not as good as a woman at the critical moment?"
With this in mind, he subconsciously turned his horse's head and turned to the south of the mound. This time, the Wagang Army's own soldiers were not stunned, but the guards sent by Li Xu to guide him were confused by the strange behavior of the guests. One of them, who was a little older, had seen much of the world, quickly chased after him, arched his hand slightly, and asked politely, "Xie, where is General Xie going?" Can you make it clear? β
"Back to the barracks. Go back to the brethren I have brought. Xie Yingdeng waved his arm vigorously and replied very proudly. The shadow of Shangguan Bi involuntarily flashed in front of her eyes, Jinwu Zangjiao, Changmen Fu, she is familiar with these Han family stories, if she doesn't investigate carefully, who can know that she is a Xianbei person? After experiencing the Wuhu Rebellion, among the northern kingdoms, which one is Han'er and which one is Xianbei, how can they be clearly distinguished?
The Wagang army was temporarily stationed in the south of the fort, and the downhill was a smooth wind, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded extremely brisk. When Kankan arrived at the gate of the camp, another group of night returnees carried two lamp balls to identify themselves, and passed by Xie Yingdeng and his entourage.
"Is it Shi Sima?" Xie Yingdeng's eyes were sharp, and he could easily distinguish the identity of the other party from the words on the lantern. The Boling Army Zuo Sima Shi Defang is the younger brother of the Green Forest Hero Shi Derui, and he rushed to the Boling Army camp so late, he must have just visited his brother and returned.
And Shi Derui's figure is just not among the people who went to the Hero Building to drink tea just now. So his choices for the future are very interesting. Thinking of the daytime, this person once said, 'It is because of respecting Li Xu that he stood on the Great Wall and led the army to help the battle, not because he respected Li Xu's identity as a hussar general!' Xie Yingdeng felt that it was necessary for him to have a few small chats with the German side, so as to find out what the Boling soldiers really thought about the future.
Shi Defang had seen Xie Yingdeng in Henan and knew that the young man in front of him was the same brother as his master. Seeing that the other party looked like he had something to explain to himself, he quickly turned his horse's head and leaned over.
"It's so late, does Shi Sima still have to rush to the barracks to inspect?" Xie Yingdeng had nothing to say, so he asked knowingly.
"I just went to see my brother, I haven't seen you for many years, and I forgot the time to talk. According to the rules of our Boling Army, officers are not allowed to stay in other people's barracks at will. So no matter how late it is, I have to go back to the barracks, and I can't do it knowingly. Shi Defang arched his hand and explained without a trace.
"The camp and supplies of the Wagang Army, thank you for taking care of Sima Shi." Xie Yingdeng clenched his fists slightly, and thanked Shi De on the horse.
"It's a duty at the time!" Shi Defang hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and then returned it again. "Besides, the general escorted so much grain to relieve Boling's urgent need. Thank you, and I'm so grateful to you! β
"Brother German is polite!" Xie Yingdeng shook his head with a smile, "Don't say that my military division and your general are friends with each other." This should help. Even Xie and Brother Ling have been friends for many years. He traveled thousands of miles to help my senior brother in the war, and I, as a junior brother, should also prepare some grain for him. β
"It's a blessing for my brother to have a friend like General Xie!" Hearing that there was a set of almost meaning in the other party's words, Shi Defang agreed smoothly. Xie Yingdeng has something to do with me? As he spoke, he instinctively reacted to this. The hand holding the horse's reins couldn't help but tighten, the smile on his face was still the same, but all his mind was focused on his eyes.
Under the illumination of the moonlight and lights, Xie Yingdeng's expression was unwavering. He didn't seem to think that he had almost overstepped the identity of a guest, nor did he seem to have noticed the vigilance of the German side and the vigilance of the Boling guards. smiled and continued: "But if it weren't for coming to the Great Wall side by side this time, Xie really didn't know that Boss Shi actually had a younger brother who was a general!" Presumably he is afraid of causing some misunderstanding and delaying your future. But the senior brother has always been frank and open-minded, as long as General Shi is acting rightly, how can he be suspicious of his powerful subordinates because of one or two gossips. β
"When the general waits, a certain grace is very good. Shi Mou only dared to repay with all his strength in this life! My Boling army is all the only one who looks forward to the general. Hearing Xie Yingdeng's words, Shi Germany's nervous mood relaxed a little, and replied with a smile.
"My brother came this time, so I persuaded him that it was better to take the opportunity to join the general!" Without waiting for Xie Yingdeng to continue his words, the German side took the initiative to explain. "Although he is a tyrant in the locality, he is in the eyes of the people. After all, there are some differences between the government and the green forest. In this life, eating meat in large chunks, it is certainly refreshing to weigh the gold. But the nephews can't continue to live in the green forest forever. With the merit of defending the land, the past is worth the past. With the strength of my general, I will definitely accept my brother! β
He thought that Xie Yingdeng couldn't get used to his two brothers being officials, one being a bandit, and betting on both sides, so he deliberately made tentative words. But he forgot that Xie Yingdeng's identity was carefully investigated, and he was just a "bandit" with greater strength, how could he make a fuss about other people's identities for no reason. When he was suspicious, he heard Xie Yingdeng say with a smile: "I talked to Brother Ling on the way here. But he and the elder brother of the Han family insisted on waiting until they met the general and listened to the general's life ambitions before making a decision. Although I am close to Brother Ling, it is inconvenient for me to interfere too much in his affairs. After all, he is not alone, and there are more than 10,000 brothers and people in several counties behind him. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think more about the future of your brothers and the people under your rule. β
That's exactly what my brother said. He admired the general's bearing and admiration so much. Shi Germany's doubts gradually weakened, sighed, and said abruptly. But when it comes to the future of tens of thousands of people, he really can't make decisions easily! β
Xie Yingdeng is such a smart person, as soon as he heard this, he immediately guessed that the two brothers of the Shi family would not speculate like him tonight. In this way, the two will have more common topics in common. As long as you climb up this vine, it is not difficult to find a large ripe papaya. Bowing his hand again on horseback, he frankly extended an invitation to the German side. "It's not yet the second watch at this time. If it is convenient for Shi Sima, it is better to go to my Wagang camp and sit for a while. I am not familiar with the enemy situation outside the Great Wall, so Shi Sima helped to plan and plan, and Brother Wagang will be less damaged tomorrow! β
"It's good!" Shi Defang hesitated slightly, and readily agreed, "I'm not familiar with the green forest. General Xie can just point me out how to persuade my brother to turn back! β
The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side. While walking, chatting, I was able to enter Xie Yingdeng's main account, and I had already communicated the enemy situation and offensive and defensive precautions clearly. ordered someone to re-brew the strong tea, and Xie Yingdeng poured the tea and confessed to Shi Defang. "It's so late, I shouldn't have pulled Sima to come to my camp. But the confusion in my heart can't be solved by Master Sima. If this is confusing, not only will my brother not be able to make up his mind to stay in Zhuo County, but even if Xie dies on the battlefield tomorrow, it will be difficult to leave! β
"What a general!" Although he had already guessed in his heart that the other party must have a plan, Shi De was still startled by Xie Yingdeng's words, stood up, and asked vigilantly.
"Shi Sima doesn't have to be so cautious!" Xie Yingdeng put down the teapot and pointed to the sky, "Although Xie is not talented, he is not the despicable villain who will frame his senior brother. I can swear to the heavens that if I have the slightest intention of hurting my senior brother in what I do today, I will be thundered by the sky, and my descendants will be cut off! β
"Generals don't have to be like that. You can send charcoal in the snow when the Boling army needs it most, and you must not be the villain with evil intentions! Shi De smiled bitterly and stopped. It's just the confusion in the general's heart, and Shi may not be able to solve it. Even if Shi is lucky enough to solve it, if the military regulations do not allow it, Shi may not be able to say it! β
"It has nothing to do with the military!" Xie Yingdeng sat down again, blew on the hot air on the teacup, and said with a sigh, "My confusion must also be my brother's confusion." General Shi has followed my senior brother for many years, do you know my senior brother's ambition in life? You must know that Xie Mou not only came alone this time, but these dozens of truckloads of military rations were saved from between the teeth of my brother Wagang. Without asking about your general's ambitions in life, Xie would not be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the tens of thousands of Wagang brothers in Liyang City! β
Suddenly, Shi Defang's wry smile froze on his face. He didn't know how to answer Xie Yingdeng, so he had to sigh a few times and sit down beside the teacup. When he had a detailed conversation with his brother tonight, Shi Derui asked the same question. If Li Xu has the ambition to win the championship, some of the Green Forest heroes would rather refuse the insistence of others to win over, but also take the initiative to take refuge under his command. If Li Xu just wants to be a general who makes wedding dresses for others, after the battle of the Great Wall, all the heroes will have to go their separate ways. Instead of slowly climbing up behind Li Xu, it is better to go directly to the person who is sitting in a high position, and use the strength in his current hand as a step to advancement.
"Alas!" Xie Yingdeng also sighed, raised the teacup, and made a gesture of please.
When the German side sympathized with him, he replaced wine with tea and washed his sorrows. After a few strong teas, the distance between the two sides suddenly narrowed, and the conversation slowly entered the main topic of each other's needs.
"My general, not only has no intention of winning the championship, I'm afraid I don't even have the idea of Qi Huan Jinwen." Shi Defang tasted the bitterness of the tea and smiled unwillingly.
Xie Yingdeng's face was full of amazement, and he sighed accordingly, "Your general is really a freak, God let him have the ability of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, but he has Xu You and Fan Li's belly!"
"If the general is willing to lead us to calm the troubled times, he will be called by Zhou Zhao in the past!"
"If senior brother is willing to provoke the trouble, I don't know how many heroes will go with all their might!"
Neither of them explained the words, but the meaning outside the words was expressed very clearly. Li Xu's picture is too small, which once disappointed the German side in the Boling army. And Xie Yingdeng brought it in at this time, but it only deepened the disappointment a little.
"The so-called gentleman is strategic, do your best! I don't know if Brother Shi has spoken out? After sighing for a while, Xie Yingdeng deliberately asked.
The answer still begins with a long sigh, "Alas! Although the Boling army is not guilty of speaking out. But the general's heart is as solid as a rock! β
"Brother Shi, do you know why this is so?"
"If I knew, would I be helpless?" Shi Defang continued to smile bitterly. "General Xie is the same as the general, do you know why the general would rather help others succeed than let him go? If I can find the reason and be expelled from Boling by the general, I am also willing to be the minister of direct advice! β
"Then I can guess a thing or two!" Xie Yingdeng wanted this sentence and responded loudly.
The reason why Li Xu is ready to avoid living outside the Sai and become a group of Hu people is that in Xie Yingdeng's eyes, there are only a few reasons. First, it is cautious by nature, worried that the strength of the Boling army will be wiped out after this battle, so instead of leading everyone to take risks for an impossible goal, it is better to take advantage of the situation to withdraw from the battle for the championship in exchange for the peace of one side.
Second, Li Yuan, the king of Tang, is currently full-fledged, and the six counties are enemies on all sides, so instead of fighting a battle of uncles, nephews, and sons-in-law who are both defeated, it is better to hand over the six counties to the Li family, so as to speed up the pace of ending the troubled times. At least, this will not make the six counties of Boling suffer another war, and it will not make Li Qing'er feel sad.
Third, Li Xu himself said that he was unwilling to draw a knife opposite the person who fought side by side in the past, let alone let Gu Turu retreat. So he simply chased after him and snatched the Great Khan of Bone Toru to sit. In this way, the peace of Dongsai was maintained for decades.
Fourth, the Li family in Hedong also tried to divide the land evenly in a series of "newly-opened" lands to crack down on the old Sui Haoqiang. This policy almost coincides with the New Deal of the Six Counties. Therefore, for the continuation of the new policy, it is better to call Li Yuan a minister than to fight to the death between the two sides.
But these reasons are almost all excuses in Xie Yingdeng's eyes. The Battle of the Great Wall will certainly cause a great loss to the strength of the Boling army, but Li Xu's personal reputation is in full swing. With the merit of defending the land and Yang Guang's golden sword, will there be no one to vote for in the future? Even if others don't come, the Wagang Liyang Army will definitely come. At that time, with Xu Maogong's strategy, Qin Shubao, and Luo Shixin's bravery, who can stop the heroes in the world?
In addition, the fight for the world is not an overnight thing. Bo Lingjun didn't take the initiative to challenge Li Yuan, could Li Yuan pull down his face and grab land from his son-in-law before the world was decided? Even if the Li family in Hedong is thick-skinned, don't the soldiers under his command cherish half of the friendship that once stood side by side with Boling to fight the enemy? Wouldn't the people of the world spit on the Li family in Hedong for unloading the mill and killing the donkey? With the foundation laid by the new policy of the six counties, in three years, the wings of the Boling Army will be full. When it soars into the sky, what can Li Yuan do?
Moreover, the Li family's new policy is completely to solve the urgent need, and it has to be done as a last resort. After surviving the difficulties, it is difficult to say whether they will persevere. And after Gu Toru retreated, his prestige was lost, and those tribes on the grassland who had been deceived by him would definitely take the opportunity to rise up and seize power.
After thinking about it, Xie Yingdeng couldn't understand Li Xu's choice. He knew that with his senior brother's temperament, such a big decision would not be made without consulting his subordinates. But as long as he can persuade Shi Defang, Cui Qian, Zhao Ziming and others in a roundabout way, he may not be able to make the senior brother change his original intention.
"The general himself told you that he was going to hunt down Bone Toru to the outside of the fortress?" After listening to Xie Yingdeng's words, Shi Defang was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"It's just a passing remark, presumably on a whim. But with the character of the senior brother, I am afraid that he will not be able to guarantee that he will make this choice in the future! Xie Yingdeng pondered for a moment and nodded hesitantly. If Senior Brother decides to do so, how can I introduce Brother Wagang, who has lost hope in Li Mi, to the Boling Army. Senior brother, he doesn't care about being a barbarian, but the Wagang brothers may not be able to stand the bitter cold weather outside the Saiwai! β
According to common sense, he should not have leaked the private conversation between the brothers to Shi Defang so early. But since it was decided that in the future, he would try his best to lure the heroes of Wagang to Li Xu's command, Xie Yingdeng had to play some small tricks. He had to find a way out for the Wagang heroes. In addition, from his point of view, his senior brother just couldn't take the first step, as long as everyone pushed him behind his back, after taking the first step, the road ahead was the sea and the sky.
"Is General Xie saying that the Wagang heroes are ready to vote for a new master?" Shi Defang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked hesitantly. He couldn't believe that what Xie Yingdeng said was true, although the other party had repeatedly given hints. The biggest weakness of the Boling Army is the lack of talents, and although the Wagang Heroes have been repeatedly defeated by the Boling Army, the talents and martial arts of individual people are admired by everyone in the Boling Army.
"It's not another vote. It's that Li Mi has brought everyone into a desperate situation. Xie Yingdeng saw that there was hope in the other party's words, so he simply told the truth. The momentum of the Wagang Army is still there. But it is no longer the Wagang of the year. Everyone is nostalgic at the moment, just thinking about the incense of the past, hesitating and waiting. If Master Li won many battles, it would be fine, if he lost again like he lost to the general back then, the Wagang army would not exist! β
"If the Wagang Heroes can come. Who is my Boling's strength worse than others? Shi De repeatedly filmed the case, "Does the general know about this?" Didn't General Xie tell the general? β
"I didn't say it explicitly, but Senior Brother should be able to hear it!" Xie Yingdeng suddenly felt a little remorseful and replied in frustration. He suddenly realized that although Li Xu was in a high position right now, he had not experienced a day of wealthy life. Therefore, speaking and doing things still carry the straightforwardness and coolness of the past. It is obviously a mistake to communicate with such a person, and to adopt the seemingly insipid way between the wealthy families, where everything is traded under the table. Tell him frankly that many generals in Wagang have recognized him as a hero, and they are ready to follow him to establish their merits.
Shi Defang first nodded, and then shook his head repeatedly, "The general should be able to hear it." But the general's knot shouldn't be here. Dare to ask General Xie, what else did my general say about winning the championship? Is there anything different? β
"Your general's words sound more and more infuriating!" Speaking of Li Xu's words, Xie Yingdeng was so depressed that he just wanted to find someone to fight. I've seen stubbornness, but I've never seen Li Xu so stubborn. If it is really like what Shi Defang said, he knows that the Wagang heroes are looking forward to him, but he still hesitates what he is doing with insufficient strength? It's not that Xie Yingdeng boasts, if the heroes of Wagang have not followed Li Mi in recent years, but followed a male lord who is worthy of the name of ability and bearing, the general trend of the world has long been decided, how can there be endless wars now?
"What's the most infuriating?" The German side knew that it was close to the crux of the issue and seized every opportunity to ask questions.
The more Xie Yingdeng thought about it, the more angry he became, and replied in a trembling voice: "He said that if you go south to chase the deer, you can't see the difference between the people dying under his sword and dying under the knife of the Turks. I can't see the difference between me persuading him to win the championship and others leading the Turks into the Kou! β
"I see!" Shi Defang slapped hard, almost breaking up the small few shots in front of him. "General Xie, don't worry, my general's heart knot is here. At that time, a Taoist priest surnamed Yuan persuaded him to chase a deer, but he also felt that he was a deer, so he was unwilling to treat his parents and brothers as prey. In the eyes of the general, every citizen who dies in the process of chasing the deer is probably due to personal ambition. So he would rather retreat than see a lot of white bones for the sake of one person! β
"He's the only one who is kind!" Xie Yingden knew that the German side had made a correct analysis, but he was still very angry. Although they have played the banner of Tianxing for several years, even among the heroes of Wagang, most of them are thinking about gaining fame all day long. It's a bit too much to say that everyone treats human life like a mustard, but at least it doesn't take the death of a few innocent people as seriously as the sky falling.
Besides, there is no immortality in war. In order to restore the Central Plains to life as soon as possible, the death of some innocent people is also a due sacrifice. The people should blame their own bad fate, and they should not be born in troubled times. And how can it be blamed on the heads of those who ended the troubled times?!!
"General Xie was born in a hairpin family. Naturally, I can't guess the mind of my general! Shi Defang sighed and admired, "In the eyes of General Xie, the people who died are irrelevant people." In the eyes of my general, it was his parents and friends who died. Like General Zhang, he took protection as the responsibility of a warrior, rather than simply trying to seize fame. As the old saying goes, the benevolent are invincible. The general has this benevolent thought, why is the world worried? β
"Don't be busy with emotion!" Xie Yingdeng really wanted to walk over, and kicked Shi Defang to the ground. I was so anxious that my heart was angry, as Li Xu's arm, Shi Sima actually had no schoolbag to drop! What kind of lord and what kind of courtier!
Shi Defang smiled and waved his hand, his face full of confidence, "General Xie, don't worry." The so-called right medicine. You and I didn't guess the general's mind in the past, so naturally he couldn't listen to what he said. Now that we know why he is stubborn, there is a way to solve the problem! β
Xie Yingdeng was laughed so much that he felt weak for a while, put away his anger, and asked in a low voice: "What can you do, you might as well say it and listen!" β
"General Xie, don't blame me for telling the truth. Although the general of my family is in the same door as you. But what he really passed on was the mantle of General Zhang. Shi Defang nodded and said slowly.
Regarding this, Xie Yingdeng is also very clear. After Qin Shubao arrived in Wagang, he once told everyone very frankly that if Yang Guang had not transferred Li Xu to Boling halfway, but General Zhang Lao had chosen the heir, the Qi County brothers should follow Li Xu, instead of following him to Wagang very helplessly.
"General Zhang said before his death that the duty of a military general is to protect. So he'd rather die in battle than tolerate these saboteurs of your Wagang Army! Shi Defang smiled and continued to explain. For my general, he passed on the mantle of the old general, and he must pass on the responsibility of guarding. Therefore, it is better not to fight for the world, but also to protect the peace of one party. β
"Fighting for the world is not guarding the peace of a country. Isn't it much bigger than the one he guards? Xie Yingdeng pursed his lips and commented stupidly. Could it be that the six counties of Boling are worthy of his protection, and the people of the world should suffer from the fire? It's just talking nonsense with your eyes closed! β
"If General Xie can find a way to accept your words, my general. My general naturally wants to turn his family into a country, and change his guard to protect Kyushu! Shi De nodded calmly. This was the only way he could find to make Li Xu change his mind. If General Li can be made to see the championship as a way to guard, General Li's heart knot will naturally be untied, and everyone's lifelong ambition will naturally be satisfied.
"But the general said that there are more than nine peaks in the world!" At the same time, a faint voice sounded in his heart. The German side tried to concentrate and suppressed this small hesitation. At the critical moment, he could no longer waver in the slightest.
After listening to his words, Xie Yingdeng did not have any surprise on his face. If Li Xu is a person who is very easily persuaded, why would he bother to follow the German path today. "I can't help it!! He believes that the Li family in Hedong has obvious advantages, and withdrawing is the solution. He also thought that he was outside the fortress and could restrain Zhuhu, lest another Gu Toru take advantage of the situation. And with such a force outside the Saiwai, the descendants of the Li family will also act cautiously and try not to repeat the mistakes of the Yang family! β
With the wolf on his side, the deer will run faster and more actively, that is, Li Xu, who is familiar with Saiwai and the Central Plains, can have so many strange ideas. Xie Yingdeng admits that he has little knowledge and cannot refute the fallacies and heresies that Li Xu said. Although he scoffed at this statement.
"If General Xie has a way to prove it, the way of the Great General's protection will not work at all. If the Li family in Hedong wins the world, it will only be the second Yang family, and the general may repent! Shi Defang saw that Xie Yingdeng didn't understand what he meant, and continued to follow the temptation. There are some means, as Li Xu's courtier, he can't and is inconvenient to use. At the critical moment, God sent a Xie Ying to the door. The prosthetic hand Xie Yingdeng, an outsider, did some extraordinary things, and no one could find fault with it after that!
"It's very difficult, except for the matter of claiming to the Turks, Li Yuan's other actions are very much in line with the wishes of the senior brother." Xie Yingdeng continued to shake his head. As the former chief of the Wagang Army, he once paid close attention to the daily governance of the princes from all walks of life. Li Yuan does not use people based on their background, but rewards the heroes of the green forest who came to defect and the children of the family, and the rich people who won Chang'an and Guanzhong to support the Yang family and distribute the land and property to the people, all of which are appreciated by Li Xu. It is really not easy to find out Li Yuan's mistakes in governance and use this to persuade Li Xu to turn his face with Hedong.
"After all, Tang Gong is over half a hundred years old!" Shi Defang smiled secretly. "And among his sons and nephews, it's hard to say whether they can follow the rules! Although the prince of Jianshi is generous, he may not be able to make the ministers respect. And Tang Gong's other sons and nephews, it is inevitable that there will be another Yang Guang! β
This sentence is very difficult to understand, at least from Xie Yingdeng's point of view, he can't see which of the three sons of Tang Gong Li Yuan has the potential to become Yang Guang. With the information he had, although Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not agree, Tang Gong tried to grasp the balance of the strength of the two brothers. Moreover, Li Shimin is not only good at using soldiers but also good at employing people, although he is young, he is by no means comparable to Yang Guang.
"It is said that Your Majesty today has also been wise and martial!" Shi De's smile became more and more mysterious, and it seemed to be covered with a fog. "But today, Your Majesty, killing your brother and forcing your father, that ruthlessness is also beyond ordinary people. I don't know if General Xie has ever heard that the last time the Boling army was defeated on the south bank of the Yellow River, it was not because the war was unfavorable, but because at a critical moment, it was copied by the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital! And the reason why the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital copied the back road of the Boling army was because the news of Li Yuan's imminent rebellion reached the ears of the prison state! β
"I know!" This past left a deep impression on Xie Yingdeng. It was the most dangerous battle of the Wagang Army since its inception, and almost everyone was beaten by Li Xu to lose confidence. If Duan Da hadn't given Li Xu a knife in the back back then, with the situation that day, maybe Li Mi's head would have been sent to Yang Guang's desk a long time ago. Naturally, there will be no more Wagang troops in the world. "But what does that have to do with persuading my brother? Li Yuan did rebel, if I were Duan Da, I would have identified them as uncles and nephews, and I would also send troops to copy the back road of my senior brother! β
"But the news is so coincidental. It was not passed on in the morning, not in the evening, but it was transmitted to the Eastern Capital at the most critical moment. According to distance and common sense, the news should also go to Beijing first. Shi Defang sighed, "It's a pity that the general's wife was young and died on the bank of the Yellow River, still pregnant with the general's flesh and blood in her stomach." It's a pity that my Boling disciple didn't even have 1,700 left when I went, and I didn't even have 1,700 left when I returned. It's a pity that on both sides of the Yellow River, I don't know how many people died because of this. Whoever does evil will reap the benefits. Could it be that General Xie, as the chief investigator of the Wagang Sentinel, didn't hear any rumors at all? β
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused his voice so that the position of the chief sentry inspector could be heard clearly by Xie Yingdeng. Then he added, seemingly casually, "Not long before that." Someone once went to Boling to persuade the general's wife, asking you to make an alliance with Hedong on behalf of the general. And the lady refused on the grounds that the general was not there. After the defeat on the south bank of the Yellow River, it was followed by Luo Yi's invasion. At the moment of crisis, even if someone else sent a bowl of poison, in order to protect the six counties, the general could only swallow it painfully! Mr. Xie, do you really find any clues if you look for it with your heart? β
