Chapter 32: Defrauded
"Sure enough, hehe, sure enough, in the end, it was resolved by war, and behind the war, it was these hard-working people who were persecuted. ”
Chu Ting was distracted, and her whole body was lying on the chair weakly, and her eyes were full of helplessness.
Although she also went out of a wealthy family, Chu Ting, who has been kind-hearted since she was a child, often uses the interests of the common people to let her husband play to the emperor, seeking better welfare for the people, and has really sought a lot of benefits for the people over the years.
Presumably, Han Feng's kindness and generosity were inherited from his mother
Chu Ting regrets that she is a daughter's family, otherwise she would have galloped on the battlefield, sheltered the people behind her, and lived a carefree life.
"Madame does not have to be like this, although the people will be ravaged by war when they are in turmoil. ”
"But I believe that the Holy Lord will definitely be able to suppress Wei Chigong with the power of a tiger descending from the mountain, reduce the damage of the people, and after that, no one will have the heart of rebellion again, and everyone will be restored to a harmonious country. ”
"And the Holy One has ordered the evacuation of the people ahead of schedule, and has taken out fifty percent of the reserves of the treasury as compensation to the people. ”
Han Tianlong also knew his wife's intentions, and when he noticed Chu Ting's condition, he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Chu Ting and comforted him.
And said the good news that it was the proposal he made to the emperor today and had been adopted, which calmed Chu Ting's emotions.
After Han Feng, who was eavesdropping at the door of the room, heard this, the good mood of successfully making the water concealment charm gradually disappeared from his face, and was replaced by a cloud of gloom.
"I didn't expect that General Zhenguo to really raise an army to rebel?" Han Feng thought to himself, although he had inadvertently known about it before, he just didn't expect to act so quickly.
"No, I'll have to hurry up and buy some rune paper, and see if there are any practical talismans in the metal, maybe I can still be on the list. ”
Han Feng, who originally wanted to go to Qiuqiu Xiangxiang's room for a walk, was completely disinterested, feeling that the pressure behind him was getting closer and closer, and he understood that there was not much time left for him.
Immediately with the water concealment charm out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, came to the store of * rune paper to buy a lot of rune paper back, opened the golden book, to see if there is a suitable rune, and then began to take the trouble to make runes.
Five hundred miles outside the city, the general of Zhenguo camped and set up camp
In the middle of the tent, the lights were bright, and there were five people around the table, three men and two women. , the matter of discussion is precisely the matter of this rebellion and treason.
"General, didn't you say that you would have to wait a while before you rebelled, why did you plan ahead?"
Sitting on the left side of the general is a woman, who looks quite young and good-looking, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes still reveal her age, she is the wife of General Zhenguo: Sun Fang, and the eldest princess of the neighboring country Sun Guo.
Looking at the wife beside him, Wei Chigong didn't know what to say for a while.
The rise of his rebellion is because his wife has been grinding next to his ears, and in the end he couldn't stand it and finally moved, but at that time he had a thief's heart but no thief's courage.
It was only later that he met the black-robed man, a method comparable to that of an immortal, which finally made him make up his mind to rebel.
What he did in the court became more and more arrogant, reckless, and he looked like the world was the only one, which made all the ministers displeased, and they all went to the saint one after another.
For the advice of so many civil and military ministers, and the emperor himself did not like Wei Chigong's behavior, he began to remote Wei Chigong.
After this incident, the saint slowly took power from Wei Chigong's hands, and bit by bit encroached on the soldiers under Wei Chigong's hands, wanting to elevate him.
This approach did work, and Wei Chigong became panicked because of this, and hurriedly asked the black-robed man.
Coincidentally, the enemy of the black-robed man was also about to find him, so the two coincided and began to cut off some civil and military ministers.
Everything went smoothly as expected, but just yesterday, the black-robed man he regarded as his trump card suddenly said goodbye, which made Wei Chigong feel uneasy to sleep, and he waited in the secret room for a day, but there was no trace of the black-robed man.
The sudden situation completely disrupted Wei Chigong's plan, and it was equivalent to pushing Yu Chigong directly to the final duel.
Wei Chigong began to panic, if it was really as he thought, the black-robed man was fleeing from the battle, then there was no time when someone would unite against him, and without the existence of the black-robed man at that time, he would definitely not be able to protect himself and his family.
It is precisely because of the existence of the black-robed man before that he can eat and sleep well in such an arrogant situation, and if he stays now, I don't know when there will be an accident.
Immediately asked his wife to send a letter to Sun Guo, so that Sun Guo could send people to support, and at the same time, the army that had been arranged outside also began to dispatch troops.
Immediately afterwards, he fled the imperial city with his wife overnight and went to the camp five hundred miles away.
His wife Sun Fang is the eldest princess of Sun Guo, ten years ago, Sun and Zhang were at war, and Sun Guo proposed marriage, which was accepted by Zhang Guo.
At that time, the marriage candidate sent by Sun Guo turned out to be the eldest princess of Sun Guo, and Zhang Guo became the concubine not of the royal family, but Wei Chigong, and everything happened dramatically.
At that time, Wei Chigong once thought that it was his civil and military skills that attracted the appreciation of others.
"Hey, madam, this is a long story, but how many people are there to support Madame?"
Wei Chigong looked at his wife eagerly, expecting her to say a number that satisfied him.
"Hey, I didn't know that my husband was so eager, my father's side was dealing with the barbarians, and he didn't have too many troops in his hands, so he only dropped 100,000 people. ”
Sun Fang said with a bitter face, as if she was also an ignorant of this situation.
"What? 100,000? Hehe, madam, at this time, please don't make such a joke with your husband, it's not too funny. ”
Hearing that Sun Guo only sent 100,000 people, Wei Chigong immediately thought that he had heard it wrong.
Isn't this funny, 100,000 people? What is the use of 100,000 people, the millions of tigers and wolves under his command may not be able to eat Zhang Guo.
Isn't it because of the guarantee of your help and the existence of the black-robed people that he is so sure that he can take Zhang Guo, and now not only the black-robed people are gone, but even the army sent by Sun Guo is only 100,000 people, how can he accept it.
"Husband, the slave family doesn't dare to joke with the husband at this time, but there is news from my father, there are indeed only 100,000 people to be dispatched, or I will send a message to my father again and ask if I can draw some more manpower over?"
Sun Fangzhan said tremblingly, he has been with Yu Chigong for ten years, and he also knows that Yu Chigong is ruthless, so even as Wei Chigong's wife, he is a little scared at the moment.
And she didn't expect that her father would go against his promise to send a million troops to attack Zhang Guo together, and now he temporarily changed his mind and only sent 100,000 people.
Although it is said that it is possible to fight with the barbarian clan, it should still be possible to send 500,000, Sun Fang did not figure out why.
"Forget it, since my father needs to resist the barbarians, I am already very grateful to be able to draw out these 100,000 people, how can I shamelessly ask my father for manpower again. ”
"Let's go, go with your husband to see the soldiers and horses. ”
Wei Chigong felt that his son was much older, and he lived up to his spirits, but he was a little down.
"Okay, the slave family will go with the husband. ”
The remaining three are Wei Chigong's lieutenant generals, who have followed him on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and when they heard Sun Fang's words, they were all very angry, but because of the sudden change in their own generals, it was no wonder that they could only hate it secretly.
With Wei Chigong and his wife, they went to check on the 100,000 soldiers who had been dispatched.
A group of five people came to the school grounds, and all five of them looked at the 100,000 soldiers who came to support with a surprised expression.
This is a soldier, it is clearly a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, dragging the level of oil bottles.
From teenage children to sixty or seventy old men and women, are they here to flee or to support?
Seeing this scene, not only Wei Chigong and his three lieutenants did not expect it, but even Sun Fang did not expect it.
Not only did his father not keep his promise and sent a million soldiers, but the 100,000 soldiers he sent were still old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Foolish, you dare to harm me, smack. ”
Extremely angry, Wei Chigong slapped the unsuspecting Sun Fang in the face with a backhand, leaving a red palm print.
"Come, give me this foolish woman to be put in a cell for the time being, and she will be strictly guarded without my order, and it is strictly forbidden to let her out, and those who disobey will be killed. ”
"Yes, according to the General's will. ”
The only female lieutenant general among the three lieutenant generals stepped forward to receive the order and escorted Sun Fang to the dungeon, and the lieutenant general, who usually treats his wife as a sister, became extremely cold at this time, and pulled Sun Fang to the dungeon without any emotion on his face.
"Master, master, the slave family is wronged, the slave family doesn't know, master, master. ”
Sun Fang cried and shouted, and the one who screamed was desolate, but Wei Chigong didn't hear it, and waved his hand ruthlessly.
The female lieutenant general understood, and directly knocked Sun Fang unconscious with a knife, and went to the dungeon on her back to be strictly guarded.
"General, what are we going to do now?"
When the female lieutenant left with Sun Fang, the two lieutenants finally spoke.
"Hey, now, I can only go to the dark, there is no other way. ”
Yu Chigong rubbed his head, his whole body exuded a sense of loneliness, and he felt that he had just aged several years in an instant.
"General, if we don't ask the Holy One for sin, we will say that we have been deceived by traitors and have no choice but to betray. ”
Before an adjutant general could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Chigong.
"Shut up, don't say this kind of stupid thing again, hey, forget it, go back first, and come to my tent early tomorrow morning to discuss the war. ”
Wei Chigong picked up the collar of the lieutenant general, and said with a fierce look in his eyes, ignoring that he was the lieutenant general who had followed him for so many years.
But suddenly I thought of the current situation of betrayal and separation, and I couldn't let my subordinates chill my hearts anymore, so I immediately withdrew my hand.
"Yes, General, what should we do with these 100,000 people? ”
"You've been with me for so many years, do you still want me to teach you?"
Wei Chigong, who had already walked away, heard a low and cruel voice in reply.
After Wei Chi Gong disappeared from the sight of the two, the two lieutenants called five captains, whispered something into their ears, and made a movement to wipe their necks.
Yin smiled compassionately, and then left, ready to rest, and would go to the general's tent early tomorrow morning to discuss the war.
Several captains closed the gate of the schoolyard, and then rockets from the sky shot into the schoolyard from the outside.
The night was filled with a continuous stream of screams, which did not fade away until dawn.
