Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 115 Unfair Treatment
In the inner hall of the Camp Mon County Guard's Mansion.
As soon as he saw Yan Keni's swaggering way in, Pu Dingbo was angry.
"Did you really agree to him?" Pu Dingbo asked with a tangled expression on his face, and asked in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel, "Why did you agree to him so easily, didn't I already explain the stakes to you in advance, why are you so reckless? Do you know what the consequences of your willful and reckless actions are?"
Wanyan Keni walked into the house, first reached out and took off the hat with Ling Yu in it, put it on the table, and then sat directly on the chair in front of Pu Dingbo, propped his hands on his knees, and waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, General Ben is not a fool." β
The more Pu Dingbo looked at his indifferent attitude, the more angry he became, so he scolded directly: "I think you are a fool!"
Wanyan Keni didn't get angry when he heard this, he put down the teacup casually, smacked his mouth twice, and persuaded softly: "Lao Pu, I'm also doing this for your good, you and I, for so many years, only by keeping the success, don't want to climb up one step further in this life and this life, only some other things can attract the attention of the superiors." β
"Ridiculous! What can that little prince do? Do you know where the fiefdom under his name is? Hedong County, Youzhou, Huangsha County! What is this not death? I don't think he can even protect himself!" In front of Wanyan Keni, Pu Dingbo's emotions seemed to become extremely excited, "The affairs of the court, where are we qualified to interfere in the affairs of the court, we can do our own work thankfully, can you not cause me trouble!"
Wanyan Keni heard this, but said with a straight face: "I don't think so! You have also seen the tilt of the resources of the imperial court over the years, if we don't do something, can Yanzhou still have a future?"
"Then have you ever thought that when we help him this time, we are tied up with him and γγγγγγ in the future? Pu Dingbo was suddenly silent for a moment, knowing that he was a little speechless, but since it was in such a hidden place, and there were no outsiders present, he hesitated for a moment, and still spoke, but he suppressed his voice so that only the two of them could hear it, "In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, whether he can tolerate him is a question, so what will we do then?" Don't look at you and me, a county guard, a general soldier, it seems to be a high and powerful position, but to those people in the capital, it is just a fart, and if you are a real prince with real power, can you look down on us?" And personally come to talk about cooperation, borrowing troops?"
It can only be said that it is to blame this generation of Emperor Liangguo for setting a bad precedent and slaughtering his other brothers and sisters, so that everyone is now in danger, and they dare not stand in line at will, for fear of being settled by the new emperor in the future, which is also what he Pu Dingbo is worried about.
Wanyan Keni's pupils dilated slightly, and he said softly: "We just made a deal with him that no one knows about, can this be done to the other people?"
Pu Dingbo sat down on the chair all of a sudden, leaning on the back of the chair, rubbing his temples vigorously with two fingers, his face full of sadness.
"You don't understand, you don't understand how terrible civil officials are, sometimes with just one mouth, two sentences, we outsiders don't know how to die when the time comes. β
Wanyan Keni also fell silent when he heard this, he was a rare literate general in Xiong Zhen's army, and he had also read a lot of books, taking history as a mirror, he naturally understood what Pu Dingbo meant.
Sometimes, when it comes to the ability to kill, the tongue is faster, sharper, and more frightening than a knife, a knife can only kill one person at a time, and some people move their tongues, and in an instant, the heads of tens of millions of people will fall to the ground.
The atmosphere in the room stiffened suddenly, and after a few moments, Wanyan Keni's deep voice resounded.
"I don't care what outsiders think, I only know that if the truth is as the little prince said, then I am bound to get this batch of minerals! β
Pu Dingbo also knew the specific matters discussed by the two, and said a little weakly at the moment: "You can ask the court for these." β
As soon as Wanyan Keni heard this, he stood up suddenly, and just wanted to scold, but he clenched his fists, suppressed his voice again, and said in a low voice: "Who knows when you want to go? How the imperial court has treated Yanzhou all these years, others don't know, don't you Pu Dingbo know? Over the years, good weapons and armaments have been divided among others, Lao Tzu guarded Hulan County, and in the end, we couldn't even share a single horse from Hulan Ranch, and we had to give all of them to the Bloody Army!
Yanzhou is the last land conquered by the Liang Kingdom, the people of Yanzhou were originally some nomads who lived in a fixed place, the land was vast and sparsely populated, although everyone was born a warrior, but nine adults were illiterate, such Yanzhou, for decades, even a scholar who could go to the Jinluan Palace to speak could not produce it, so who would speak for Yanzhou?
Although Youzhou is also a poor place, but there are people in the military department of Youzhou, who can rely on the big tree of the Xu family to enjoy the shade, in the capital, more than one-third of the military attaches who are qualified to go to the court are born in Youzhou, this is the famous Youzhou Party of the government and the opposition, but what about Yanzhou? Yanzhou is a group of dragons without a leader, each fighting for its own situation, for this group of people, the court itself is not at ease, placed in Yanzhou, the civilian officials who monitor this group of generals in charge of military power are the most among the six states, and Pu Dingbo is one of them, of course he knows the selfishness of the imperial court.
In the final analysis, they are not at ease, so if there are good things, they will definitely be distributed to the other armies as soon as possible, not to mention that the military attaches from other states will go directly to the military department to ask for it, the imperial court did not plan to cultivate the Xiong Zhen army well, otherwise why do you have to do this extra thing, and then transfer a bloody army to guard the dangerous pass?
Pu Dingbo looked at the old friend in front of him, and he didn't know what to say to soothe his emotions.
Before bidding farewell to his family and leaving Liangzhou and coming to Yanzhou, there was indeed a respected old man who had a heart-to-heart conversation with their group of scholars, and directly made it clear that they wanted them to monitor these locally-born generals, and once they found any changes, they reported to the court at any time, to put it bluntly, they didn't believe in these Yanzhou people at all, until later, after being the parent official of the Yanzhou people for so many years, he was completely integrated into this land, and began to really want to plan for the well-being of the people of Yanzhou, and even spared no effort to find a relationship to ask the court for more resources to build Yanzhouγ
If it weren't for something in the middle, he was afraid that he would have been directly transferred away by the suspicious imperial court.
If it weren't for that, Wanyan Keni would definitely not bother to pay attention to him, and he would not have become close friends later, which is why there have been rumors of discord between the two in the outside world, because the two did not like each other before, and they were incompatible.
The old friends would be so angry, of course he knew the reason, and he could only be relieved at the moment: "The Bloody Army is also the army of the imperial court, and it is also stationed here to protect the safety of the people of Yanzhou.
"Of course I know this, I also admire them very much, and I also know that they are the first soldiers in the border wars, and we Xiong Zhenjun are not able to compare with them, I admit this!" Wanyan Keni was full of grievances, "But the imperial court also wants to give us a chance to perform, war horses, weapons, armor, grain and grass, they all enjoy the best, the Ninth Army of the Empire, it seems to be majestic, but in fact, what is the difference between our Xiong Zhen Army and the militia in Jiangzhou? Aren't they just afraid that we Yanzhou people will have military power in their hands?"
Pu Dingbo hurriedly got up, rushed forward to cover the old friend's mouth, and admonished with a very serious expression: "Brother Wanyan, you have lost your words!"
Seeing that Wanyan Keni in front of him finally calmed down his emotions, Pu Dingbo let go of his hand and persuaded again: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, doesn't the imperial court hand over this majestic city to you to guard? Isn't this the imperial court's trust in you? If you want to enjoy the same treatment as the Bloody Army, it always takes time, don't be in a hurry, save yourself a big mistake!"
It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he says this, Wanyan Keni's emotions that have calmed down just now instantly become excited again.
"Fart! Our entire Xiong Zhen Army, after paying so much, do we get the treatment of doing things under your kid? What kind of bullshit trust is this!"
As he spoke, he pulled the leather jacket off his chest, revealing a hideous chest full of scars.
"Lao Tzu's current position was obtained by Lao Tzu and his brothers in exchange for their lives with the imperial court!" he pulled his clothes back to their original appearance and said angrily, "What? Isn't this enough to prove his loyalty to the imperial court? Lao Tzu heard that the bloody army has used the latest armaments of the imperial court, ah, a powerful crossbow in his hand, a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, and rides the war horse of Hulan Ranch, you look at what Lao Tzu's subordinates use, this is still a tattered sword that has been used for decades!"
Pu Dingbo looked at the reckless man in front of him, and could only comforted him helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know that General Wanyan has been wronged, so be it, this time I promise you, turn a blind eye, as long as you don't go too far, I can help you lie about your deployment of troops, but once something big happens, you must also be psychologically prepared!"
Hearing this, Yan Keni grinned, stood up, and patted the shoulder of Pu Dingbo, who was a head shorter than him, with satisfaction, and opened his hand angrily in pain.
"Lao Pu, if you don't say it, you are interesting enough, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem, this time, I just want to use this little prince as bait and drop a big fish!"
