Chapter 336: Arrived
Wang Yan sat in the courtyard sadly holding a cup of tea, looking up at the sky, almost counting his time with his fingers.
The high fever caused by pouring cold water has slowly subsided, but at this time, his face is two points worse than when he had a high fever, and just don't drive to report, there seems to be someone on the side of Daliang who is secretly trading with Chu Jun.
Although he didn't say who it was, Wang Yan could guess it somewhat.
At this time, the wind and rain were coming, and Zhao Jie dared to deal with Chu Jun at this time, which showed that he was looking for a way back.
Don't ask him, there are reinforcements.
Beijia and Changsi both felt that it was not bad to work with the Great Liang Imperial Court, and they didn't want to change to the Chu State for the time being, but if the Great Liang really couldn't keep half of the Jiangling country, they wouldn't mind changing their allegiance to the Chu Emperor.
After all, they weren't Liang people in the first place.
Wang Yan told them categorically, "The four princes are already on their way, and Lingzhou and Hongzhou have also sent their own armies, so rest assured, no matter what happens in Jiangling, this is part of my big beam, and we will not give up easily." ”
Wang Yan said confidently: "There are also the people living in this land, and I, the Great Liang Monarch, will protect everyone." ”
But this self-confidence collapsed after leaving the car, reinforcements are available, but whether they can come in time is not certain.
Wang Yan touched the sweat on his forehead and sighed secretly, no matter whether he could arrive in time or not, anyway, he had to stabilize Beijia and Changsi, even if he was cut by Zhao Jie, but as long as Beijia and Changsi were still loyal to Daliang, then Zhao Jie still had some scruples.
He was already almost bare-bones here, but Bei Jia and Changsi were both from Jiangling, he couldn't help these two people before, and Zhao Jie couldn't do anything to them for a while.
I didn't see that he is now under house arrest, and the news from the outside has not been received at all, but can he find out that Zhao Jie is secretly trading with Chu Jun?
So no matter what, he has to keep these two people for Liang.
As soon as he got out of the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, he got into the office area of the chief division, pulled people into a room and whispered: "Wang Tingshi didn't deny it, it seems that he really has two hearts." ”
Nagasaki's eyes were about to pop out, "This, why is this?" Before, I saw that he did his best to attack Jiangling, and he occupied more territory than Chu State. ”
If you have two hearts, how good is it to release water during war?
Don't drive and don't understand them, but the atmosphere in Jiangling has indeed become more and more weird recently, if they hadn't found out that Zhao Jie sent people to stare at the Thorn Shi Mansion, there was a faint tendency to surround it, and he was still secretly dealing with the Chu army, I am afraid that they would still be in the dark at this time.
"What now," Nagaji couldn't help but turn around and said, "I can't follow him to join Chu, right?" ”
Don't drive and lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to vote?" ”
"I don't want to," Chang Si said entangledly: "Although Wang Yan is domineering, he is quite reasonable, and he is also loved by the people, but the Chu State is ......."
Chen Xiang impressed them too deeply, even if they knew that Chu State was not only Chen Xiang a general, but also an official, the impression in his heart was not very good.
They fought fiercely with Wang Yan before, but that was because they were promoted by Zhao Jie at that time, and Zhao Jie wanted to take power, so they naturally wanted to help.
But they were convinced of what Wang Yan had done, and they even had some admiration in their hearts, otherwise they would not have changed to Wang Yan in such a short time.
"But it's not a question of whether we are willing or not, Zhao Jie has soldiers in his hands, how can we resist?"
Don't drive but said in a low voice: "Wealth and danger are begging, Wang Tingshi said that reinforcements are on the way, if we can withstand it, maybe we can also leave an impression in front of Emperor Liang." Brother, you and I are both from Jiangling, and now the assassin is from Liang, don't drive and use us with Changsi, this is to appease the people, but what about the future? ”
Nagasi was thoughtful.
Bei Jia continued: "Mr. Ji is in Chu State, but they can't use him, Mr. Yao was also in Chu State before, and they can't keep him, do you think Chu State can be a place for me to stay?" ”
Even talented people like Ji Yuan and Yao Shi Chu Guo didn't want to be a corporal of Lixian, let alone these nobodies?
Chang Si was moved at this time, and he repeated what Wang Yan said just now, and said in a low voice: "He still wants to protect ordinary people, let alone me?" It can be seen that Liang Guo is open-minded. ”
Nagasi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try with you." ”
Don't drive and take his hand and say, "Don't be afraid, our two families will meet at night, gather the children in the family, and send a few out first, even if it is ...... At that time, as long as Liang Guonian and I have a trace of friendship to ensure that the children grow up safely, it will not be a loss for me to wait for this trip. ”
"But I have no relatives and no reason in Liang Kingdom, where can I send it?"
Don't drive and lowered his voice and said: "Send to Suzhou, two days ago my eldest brother came to tell me that the long-term worker at home found that a large number of frames came out of Qishan and went east......"
On the other side of Qishan is the state of Chu, and there is only a little farmland at the foot of the mountain on the side of Daliang, and there are no villages at all.
Nagasi's eyes widened, and he pointed at him and said, "Okay, okay, you actually hid it from me early." ”
Don't drive and said helplessly: "I think Chen Xiang is so aggressive, the less one person knows, the more safety, and we are all Liang people, Mr. Yao is willing to come to Liang, shouldn't it be a good thing?" I was sure that I didn't say it, but if I did, let him know......"
Yes, fortunately I didn't say it, and I am even more glad that Zhao Jie is not familiar enough with Jiangling.
Those in the know were staring at the barracks in fear, and those who didn't know were also nervous by the atmosphere in Gangneung, and the day passed quickly.
Zhao Jie became more and more irritable, and ran to the Assassin's Mansion four times a day, and in the end, Wang Yan didn't even dare to get out of bed, so he could only lie on the bed "weakly" to solve it, hoping that he could leave him to live for a few more days for the sake of him being "sick" and unable to move.
Just when the atmosphere was tense and almost reached the highest point, the carriage of the four princes arrived quickly, and the two horses came to report first, so that Zhao Jie and the Assassin Mansion were ready to receive them, and in less than half an hour, the four princes rode into the city quickly.
As soon as he entered the city, he saw that the atmosphere in the city was tense, but it was peaceful, so he breathed a sigh of relief and praised Zhao Jiedao: "Thanks to General Zhao's guard, I will definitely be with my father and reward you when I turn around." ”
Seeing that the fourth prince said sincerely, Zhao Jie couldn't help but smile, clasped his fists and smiled: "This is a matter within the minister's responsibility." ”
When he saw that the faces of the four princes were not different, it seemed that he was not here to arrest him, let alone to ask for guilt, and the heart he was carrying fell slightly.
Of course, the fourth prince had the same face, because he didn't know anything.
He asked about the current situation of the two countries, and when he learned that the situation could be stabilized, he calmed down, and then asked Wang Yan about his injuries.
Zhao Jie's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Lord Wang was hit by an arrow in the chest, but he was afraid of ......"
The fourth prince was startled, and hurriedly said, "Lone brought the imperial doctor with him, but let him go and have a look." ”
The imperial doctor was brought by him, after all, he was going to envoy to the Chu State, and no one knew what would happen on the way.
Of course, not only the imperial doctor went, but the four princes also went to see him, after all, Wang Yan was injured for the country.
When Wang Yan saw the four princes, tears came out directly, and he grabbed the sleeves of the four princes and cried: "The minister finally lives up to the trust of the court, and lives up to His Majesty's expectations. ”
I don't have to worry about the head on my neck anymore.
The fourth prince saw a big man crying like this for the first time, and he was slightly embarrassed, he stretched out his hand and sent Wang Yan to comfort him: "Wang Aiqing is recuperating from his injuries with peace of mind, and there are Gu and General Zhao in foreign affairs." ”
The fourth prince didn't know anything, and said very stupidly: "I asked General Zhao just now, even if Chen Xiang moves troops, I won't be a vegetarian, is it General Zhao?" ”
General Zhao bowed his head and smiled: "Naturally, not to mention that we still have reinforcements on the way." ”
"Reinforcements?" The four princes only cared about the boring head, these news did not know at all, the emperor sent someone to send him a letter, but the four princes walked several times in order to hurry, and did not enter the city, and even the post station did not stop a few times, so the perfect messenger missed.
"Yes, Your Highness doesn't know," Zhao Jie looked at him inquiringly and said, "Your Majesty has transferred reinforcements from Lingzhou and Hongzhou. ”
Wang Yan was nervous and was about to make a sound, but the four princes had already clapped their hands with bright eyes and said, "Did Prince Chu agree to my proposal?" ”
"What?" Zhao Jie and Wang Yan were both confused, what does this have to do with Prince Chu?
"Lone sent a letter of state to the state of Chu, and made an appointment with the prince of Chu to come to Jiangling to deal with this incident, and the state of Chu agreed? That's why my father sent reinforcements to show the national prestige and support us? ”
Wang Yan: Didn't the emperor send reinforcements because he received an 800-mile expedited from the Assassin's Mansion and suspected Zhao Jie of treason?
Zhao Jie: So the reinforcements didn't come to empty me, but did come to help?
Zhao Jie was the first to come back to his senses, and he said with a smile: "The minister has not received His Majesty's will yet, but since His Royal Highness has personally gone to the state letter, I think the Chu State should not object." ”
The State of Chu will indeed not object, and now the Prince of Chu is already on his way.
Moreover, Chudu is much closer to Jiangling, only two and a half days away, if you can bear hardships and stand hard work, you can get there in two days.
That night, Zhao Jie received a letter of state from the Chu State, saying that their crown prince would arrive tomorrow, and asked the envoys of the Liang State to prepare for negotiations.
Zhao Jie silently accepted it, and said to the deputy general: "A false alarm." ”
"That deal with Chen Xiang ......"
"Delay it for a while, and give him some gifts afterwards to get the matter over." He will not betray Liang unless he has to.
He traded with the Liao State and the Chu State just to raise soldiers and make meritorious contributions, and the treatment given to him by these two countries was not as good as staying in Daliang.
Wang Yan was also a little stunned, grabbed his henchman's hand and said, "So Your Majesty didn't understand my hint?" ”
The henchman said absentmindedly: "My lord cares about him, the reinforcements from Hongzhou will also arrive at night, your life is saved, whether Your Majesty understands it or not, you can always report to the top if you are alive." ”
Wang Yan nodded secretly, "That's right, but I just feel uncomfortable, you said that if I died before I was careless, Your Majesty didn't understand, then wouldn't I die in vain?" ”
The henchman was silent and said, "Then you go and ask Your Majesty?" ”
"Get out, you want your grandfather to die, don't you? Go, serve me a bowl of meat, I can't eat for many days. ”
