Duan, a country with the royal family name as the country name, a country where all the people worship Buddha and all the people are soldiers, because the land area is too small, the population is too small, and the strong country is around, the Duan family has always been wise and self-protecting, and has never taken the initiative to provoke any strong country. However, King Duan is not without a little ambition, and he always fantasizes about becoming an overlord and being feared by others. So, I don't know when it started, and it became a wall grass. Several sides are at war, and whichever side has the upper hand, he will mix with whichever side. If the following side is about to lose, he will immediately take refuge in the strong side, and if the side that takes refuge wins, he can also get some cheap.

It is precisely because of this that neither Liao, Jin, nor Daxia think very highly of King Duan, this is a two-faced villain who doesn't take him seriously at all. But every time there is something he mixes in, he still beware, the core, secrets, tactical arrangements, etc., are all hidden from the Duan family's people, so as not to leak the news.

Therefore, this time the Duan clan attacked Yongning Guancheng alone, which was really surprising, maybe King Duan's head was smashed, maybe he took the wrong medicine.

"Yo ho, what does this mean, the little attendant is also ready to tremble? Want to turn over and call the shots? Tian Yun pursed her lips with a look of disgust, "However, if you want to turn over and be the master, you have to choose a battlefield that suits him, right?" What kind of place is Yongning Guancheng, that is the first indestructible city pass of our Great Xia, even if we Jiaping Guancheng, it can't be compared with others, right? Besides, the defender of Yongning Guancheng is Cao Guogong, the old man has never lost a battle in his life, but he is known as the invincible general of our Great Xia, and the Duan clan fought against him, what bargain can he get? Isn't this just looking for death! ”

"That is to say, in addition to Cao Guogong, Yongning Guancheng also has Deputy Marshal Qin Zheng, who is a scheming and thoughtful old fox. Let's not talk about the rest, look at the apprentices he brought out......" Xue Ruitian pointed with his chin at Shen Cha, who was looking at things with his head down, "You know what that deputy marshal is like, how wise he is to be a demon." It turned out that when he was with my father and Uncle Shen, Liaojin had to think carefully about attacking here, for fear of falling into his trap and falling for him. No matter how cautious and careful he is, the number of times he has planted him is too much. But since the deputy marshal was transferred to Yongning Guancheng, the pressure on Liao Jin has been much less, and his brain seems to have become a lot simpler. So, you say, if this piece of clan hits him in his hand, will he be killed by him? Duan Wang is a bit complicated, say that he has no ink in his chest, he is sometimes quite witty, say that he has a special brain, most of the time, especially in this aspect of war, the brain does not seem to be very enough. But that's it, and I still dream of being the king all day long. Xue Ruitian couldn't figure out what this Duan King was thinking, 30,000 people attacked Yongning Guancheng, which was completely an act of hitting a stone with an egg. He looked at Song Qiyun, who came to report the news, and asked, "Qiyun, it can't be a mistake, right?" ”

"I also hope that I am mistaken, but unfortunately, this news was sent by His Majesty's shadow himself, and there will be no mistake. Before he set off, Vice Marshal Qin had already repelled their three attacks and captured nearly 5,000 people, but the Duan clan did not retreat, and was still stationed outside Yongning Pass, ready to come again. Song Qiyun sat beside Xue Ruitian at Shen Haolin's suggestion, "Your Majesty, Cao Guogong, and Deputy Marshal Qin can't figure out the purpose of the Duan clan's dispatch this time, and they feel very strange. ”

"It's very strange, generally speaking, this is not the time to send troops!" Xue Ruitian touched his face, "Xiaocha, do you have any news from the Duan clan over there?" ”

"Looking, wait."

"By the way, General Shen, the letter from Vice Marshal Qin to you was forwarded through His Majesty."

Song Qiyun took out a letter from his arms, stood up and handed it to Shen Cha.

"Thank you!" Shen Cha nodded towards Song Qiyun and opened the letter from the master. Her master has always been like this, every time he writes to her, he always passes it on through His Majesty's shadow, once or twice, every time, not only the shadow is annoying, His Majesty is also annoyed, but no one can say anything. From another point of view, this can be regarded as a way to show loyalty, and the letters exchanged in private are not avoided, indicating that there are no ghosts in the hearts of people on both sides, and the emperor does not need to be suspicious. Shen Cha felt that his master was not only exquisite, but also had a hundred hearts, and playing with him and calculating was self-defeating. "Marshal, Master said that this time the Duan clan is leading the troops with Duan Airong, the general of the country."

"Protector General? Duan Wang's half-brother is also the only younger brother who is still alive now? Xue Ruitian touched his chin and looked at Shen Haolin, "Have we dealt with him?" ”

"Well, last time in the Liaojin Alliance, the Duan clan also got involved, and he was the one who led the troops."

"In this way, King Duan trusts him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over all his military power to him. This doesn't quite match Duan Wang's usual style, as far as I know, his suspicion is quite serious. Xue Ruitian lay on the table in front of him and yawned, "As long as someone opposes him, he suspects that others have the intention of rebellion." What is so special about this Wang brother, it makes him so relieved. ”

"Suspicion is also divided, he will doubt the ministers, he will doubt those princes, but he will not doubt the general who protects the country." Shen Cha gave Qin Zheng's letter to Shen Haolin, although her brother did not formally apprentice, he also learned a lot of things from her master, and it can be regarded as a friendship of half a teacher. Shen Cha put aside the battle report and the mansion report that he had read, stood up and walked to the door of the big tent to take a look, beckoned to the falling Shadow Thirteen, whispered a few words, watched Shadow Thirteen leave, turned around and continued, "I want to correct you one mistake first, Duan Airong is not King Duan's younger brother, he is King Duan's biological son. ”

"Biological son?"

Xue Ruitian opened his mouth wide in surprise, not only him, but all the people in the tent were shocked, Qiao Zi had just taken a sip of water before he could swallow it, and when he heard Shen Cha's words, the saliva sprayed directly on Lu Shengyuan's face next door. One of the two people coughed incessantly, and the other wiped his face with a handkerchief in disgust.

"What are you doing so surprised? It should be quite normal for the Duan family to have such a thing, especially in the old Duan Wang, right? Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, pulled out the news sent by the Duan family, and said while reading it, "Duan Airong's biological mother is the favorite concubine of the old Duan Wang, and her boudoir name has the word Rong in it, so her son's name also contains this word." This favorite concubine was originally a childhood sweetheart with King Duan, and the relationship was very good, but when King Duan was about to ask his father to marry, his father included this girl and the girls from several other important families into the palace and became a princess. Moreover, Lao Duan Wang also likes this former prospective daughter-in-law very much. ”

"Oh, the father snatched his prospective daughter-in-law, this is!" Tian Yun slapped her thigh fiercely, "It's just intolerable!" ”

"This old Duan Wang is not a thing, isn't their Duan clan a national worship Buddha? Is that how polite it is? Qiao Zi and Lu Shengyuan were also angry, "If the Buddha knows, he will have to be angry and cry!" ”

"The Buddha won't cry angrily, he will do the right thing for heaven and directly accept this stinky and shameless thing." Lu Shengyuan is the most civilized general in the entire Shen family army and doesn't like to scold people the most, and it is rare for him to explode this time.

"That girl is willing? His family agrees? Song Qiyun shook his head, "If it were me, I would definitely not agree." ”

"It's you, and you have to say yes." Shen Haolin read Qin Zheng's letter from beginning to end, and when he saw the part that asked Shen Cha to supervise him to practice his fists and feet, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, Deputy Marshal Qin really had a lot of things to worry about, he was far away in Yongning Guancheng, and he was still thinking about him, which really moved him. Shen Haolin put away Qin Zheng's letter and looked at Song Qiyun, "If you don't agree, your whole family will die, because he is the king, the ruler, and holds the power of life and death." ”

"The marshal is right, it's you, and you have to swallow your anger and agree, otherwise, you will bring great disaster to your family. The old Duan King was murderous, and there were many ministers who died under him in vain. However......" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha, "Old Duan Wang didn't find out that these two people not only had dealings behind his back, but also had a secret knot?" ”

"I found out, so, the old Duan King is dead." Shen Cha sneered, "When he died, he probably didn't think that his favorite son and favorite concubine would kill him, let alone that the news of his death would spread and the whole country would celebrate, and the whole country would not have a trace of sorrow at all." Shen Cha handed Shen Haolin a cup of tea, "When King Duan died, Duan Airong had just turned one year old, and that favorite concubine didn't follow King Duan's concubines to the family temple because the little prince couldn't leave his mother, and until now she lives in the palace peacefully." ”

"This relationship can be regarded as a bright flower."

"The news from the Duan family, this general who protects the country, has just passed his twenty-fifth birthday, and King Duan specially held a banquet for him, and named him regent at the banquet, and he will supervise the governance of the country."

"What about the king himself?" Several generals looked at each other, and Tian Yun asked, "Are you ready to abdicate?" ”

"There is such a statement, but it is not certain." Shen Cha copied the situation from the Duan clan on a piece of paper and put it on Shen Haolin's handsome case first, "But what is certain now is that this protector general is in the limelight, and his fame has long overshadowed those princes of King Duan." So, those princes want to get rid of it as soon as possible. It is said that after the birthday banquet, Duan Airong has been assassinated no less than ten times. ”

"King Duan doesn't know?"

"You should know that he has already dealt with the two princes through these assassinations. Now the struggle for power within the Duan clan is becoming more and more intense, not only between several princes and their uncles, but they are also fighting each other. In my opinion, King Duan should have sent people out to protect his most beloved son, just to keep Duan Airong away from that circle of right and wrong. ”

"You mean, by the time he goes back, King Duan has already cleaned up his son he doesn't like?" Seeing Shen Cha bowing slightly, Xue Ruitian and Shen Haolin glanced at each other, "No, tiger poison doesn't eat children, those sons, although they are not his favorite life, but they are also his own flesh and blood, so they won't be so ruthless, right?" If he did, what difference would he have from his father? ”

"There is no difference, the essence of this father and son is the same." Shen Haolin finished reading the news of the Duan clan and handed the piece of paper to Xue Ruitian, "Look at it, the Duan clan is quite lively now, I agree with General Shen's opinion, King Duan has his own plans, according to the current situation, he should want to clear all obstacles for his favorite son, so knowing that Yongning Guancheng cannot be defeated, he has to send the general protector to attack." It is estimated that when he will clean up those princes, the great general will be able to retire. ”

"The only heir in King Duan's mind is Duan Airong, and the other sons are all chess pieces, all of which are used to win over ministers, and as soon as he dies, the role of those people will be gone, and it will be a disaster to keep them. Therefore, in order to ensure that Duan Airong will take over his throne after a hundred years, those sons must be eradicated. Shen Cha sighed heavily, "Wait and see, Duan's big trouble is still to come!" ”

"Then how do you reply to Your Majesty's words?" Song Qiyun looked at Shen Cha and then at Shen Haolin, "Is it so clear?" ”

"Well, let's just say that, let Your Majesty, Cao Guogong and Deputy Marshal Qin not worry, they can fight if they want, it's best to capture this great general who protects the country, let that King Duan worry, maybe the Duan clan will become our subject country of Great Xia!"

"Forget it!" Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "That kind of two-faced and three-knife thing, don't do it!" I hope to kill him directly, so that he can be annoyed by bouncing around all day. After speaking, he stood up and arched his hand towards everyone, "There is no need for us to interfere in this matter of the Duan family, so let's stop here." Everyone, please continue, Benhou is going back to rest, and he will be on duty again tomorrow. ”

"Master Hou go slowly!"

"Walk slowly, don't send it!"
