[Chapter 4, Volume 4]

Section 451

Shen Zangfeng's eyes froze, and he said, "You talk carefully, what's going on?" ”

"Today, you and the guard will go to the yamen to discuss matters, and after I came back with Yan'er, I received a notice from the door, saying that it was Di Nu Yena, who blocked the road and gave horses, asked to see him." Wei Changying said slowly, "At first, I didn't agree, but then she donated a piece of blood jade, saying that she wanted to say something extremely important. But I was curious, thinking how sure she would dare to make such a heavy investment? As a result, when she came in, she said over and over again, 'The bird is hidden'. ”

Shen Zangfeng's mind was astute, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned.

Wei Changying continued: "After that, I talked about the white horse from before, and it turned out that this matter had nothing to do with their Wugumeng tribe, and it was all done by the Ayi Tahu tribe. It's just that she can't show the evidence...... I just didn't say a word to her, but I felt that something was wrong when I said it—this is also very reasonable, although Ugumeng has a grudge against us for killing his father, but now he is more concerned about keeping his position in Dadanyu. For this reason, he even took the initiative to send people to Diecui Pass twice to discuss the mutual market with us. Even though he was very sad when Mushuer died, he did not see him return to fight with the Wei army when he fled, which shows that even if this person has a deep relationship with Mushur, he is not a person who cannot be forgiven. ”

"Of course, I don't know much about Ugumeng, but now that I think about it, the white horse was sold to the previous Diecui guard. It is not once or twice that the Di people have bought and planted spies among the Wei people. Haven't you pulled out a lot of them before? It would be fine if Ugumeng found a horse from elsewhere whose owner no one knew and sold it, but the white horse belonged to Ugumeng, and many people knew about it, and it was sold to Diecui Pass, and it was bought by the guards, intending to give it to you or me, and no one reminded us about it? ”

Shen Zangfeng's face sank like water, and he thought for a moment before saying: "When I investigated this matter, the people below defended that it was because they had just defeated Di Ren for a long time, so they were negligent. And some people thought that Ugumeng had not been able to take the white horse with him when he fled, but he was exiled among the soldiers and was sold into Diecui Pass. The white horse usually behaves like nothing else, but no one thought that there was something wrong with the tamer! ”

Wei Changying sighed: "Ye Na kept talking about the 'bird bow hidden', I thought about why she is like this?" I'm afraid that the matter of this white horse may not be, or it may not all be the design of the Wugumeng Department or the Ayi Tahu Department, Diecuiguan, and even our Shen family have someone involved! Of course, they may not want to really hurt you and me, most of them want to use this reason to ask for another army to destroy the Di Ministry! ”

Before the army killed Qiu Di's predecessor Da Shan Yu, the Wei army pursued Di Bu and went deep into the grassland for thousands of miles, considering the problem of baggage, Shen Zangfeng ordered the withdrawal of the army and took the initiative to end the expedition. At that time, because the Di people were defeated and the Wei army was like a rainbow, many people, including the soldiers who rushed to the front, were reluctant to stop, but they had to obey because of the prestige of the Shen family in the Xiliang army and Shen Zangfeng's identity.

After all, judging from this war alone, Shen Zangfeng suddenly stopped when the great opportunity was approaching.

These people inevitably had to guess why Shen Zangfeng did this.

Since Shen Zangfeng took the initiative to design Qiu Di Da Shan Yu as a bait as soon as he arrived in Xiliang, no one speculated that he was cowardly - not to mention who would be timid when he triumphed all the way?

If it is said that he is unwilling to decide that the credit will mainly go to Deng Zongqi and the three of them, he is worried that after competing for all the merits in one fell swoop, Shen Zangfeng will be difficult to deal with himself when discussing the merits. But after the troops were withdrawn that time, Shen Zangfeng was not seen to send troops for a long time......

Guess and guess, of course, you have to guess that Shen Zangfeng is worried that the bird is hiding on the bow......

These people may not think that the Shen family will become a Tibetan bow, or they may just want to completely solve the Di department, all in all, they don't want to sit back and watch Qiu Di split into two departments like Shen Zangfeng is now, and only use gentle means to slowly try it, but they are eager for the Xiliang army to defeat the Di people in one fell swoop with the power of thunder!

Or even wipe out the country!

Without the cooperation of these people, according to the Shen family's mastery of Xiliang, especially Diecuiguan, such a major mistake would not have occurred as usual...... Because there were accidents in the world, and the Wei army was victorious at that time, the explanation given to Shen Zangfeng was reasonable, and Shen Zangfeng actually walked once.

However, the Wugumeng Department either knew about it for a long time or thought of going with these people - after all, for the Shen family, Di Bu is now greatly injured and can be fought and peaceful, but for the Wugumeng Ministry, Mu Xiuer was killed, and the tribe is scattered, if you don't keep an eye on it and figure out the meaning of the Shen family, it will be all over if you are not careful!

That's why Ye Na will send one heavy gift after another, just to see Wei Changying, so that Chen can say the truth of "the bird is hidden in the bow". Because most of the Wugu Meng tribe also thought that the Shen family would stop in time, all because they were afraid that without the threat of Qiu Di, they would be cooked by the Holy Treasure.

And she came specifically to strengthen the Shen family's determination, in order to achieve the Shen family's goal of agreeing to exchange baggage.

Perhaps the previous competition between Di Nu and Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun also hoped that after defeating these two sons of the Shen family in a row, she could alarm Shen Zangfeng, the real principal of the Shen family in Xiliang at the moment. After all, Shen Zangfeng had no intention of acceding to the request of the Wugumeng Ministry, whether it was at the beginning of spring a month ago, or this time, he had no intention of meeting the envoy of the Wugumeng Ministry.

And Ye Na's words of persuasion are not convenient to see everyone talk, it must be found Shen Zangfeng to say it in person - the Shen family's suspicion of the holy matter is not good, and the Shen family has no face, such tacit words, if you want to say it, it is all a whisper in private.

The Wugu Mengbu never dared to offend Shen Zangfeng now, and of course he didn't dare to say anything in front of people other than the principal.

But what she didn't expect was that even though she won Shen Zangfeng's two younger brothers again and again in riding and shooting, she still failed to achieve her goal of meeting Shen Zangfeng. Because even if she won Shen Zangji and Shen Yongkun, Shen Zangfeng didn't take the envoy of the Wugumeng Department to heart, let alone any curiosity because she was still a woman, so she continued to accompany his wife and niece on a tour of the mountains and rivers as he had planned before......

Ye Na thought that after receiving the news, Tete waited outside the courtyard to chase and send the horse, just to take advantage of the opportunity to send the horse, hoping to have a private conversation with Shen Zangfeng. It's just that she was really unlucky, and she was still trying to send the horse out, but she was disturbed by an eight-hundred-mile urgent report from the imperial capital!

Shen Zangfeng was anxious to convene his staff and subordinates to discuss the Yanzhou civil uprising, so he didn't bother to rub shoulders with her, so he directly collected the horse, but he didn't give her a word......

However, Ye Na also saw with her own eyes the appearance of the Diecui guard who would personally ride a horse to chase Shen Zangfeng and his party out of the city and announce the big event, but she didn't know what the big thing was! Therefore, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night, even if I planned to only lobby Shen Zangfeng before, I was forced to be in a hurry, so I had to retreat and try to meet Wei Changying to try to achieve my goal.

Shen Zangfeng had just ignored these before, but when he was reminded by his wife at this moment, he naturally figured it out instantly, and couldn't help but say with a blue face: "This class of people who made mistakes!" ”

He has always been very well-cultivated, easy not to get angry, and not easy to hurt others. At this moment, scolding a "person who made a mistake" is already a sign of great irritation.

Why didn't Shen Zangfeng want to completely calm the frontier?

Completely wiped out the Di people, didn't he have this ruthlessness?

It's just that for him, stopping the beacon fire of Xiliang is just a foundation. What we really need to worry about is the already predictable chaotic times with the faint monarchs of the Wei family from generation to generation, and the weakening of the country under the hopelessness of the Ming monarch......

The Xiliang Army will be the biggest bargaining chip for the Shen family to rise in the troubled times!

Can he look good?

Pursuing the Di people deep into the grassland for thousands of miles, firstly, he has already killed his Dadan Yu Mushur, and secondly, it has also greatly damaged the vitality of the Di people. Keep chasing...... The price to pay for achieving more brilliant results than these two results is also very staggering!

Don't say anything else, just say that the army is on the grassland, because the Di people heard that Da Dan was dead, and they fled one after another, and the baggage supplies could not be solved on the spot, and they all relied on transportation from Xiliang! Thousands of miles away, the people, the soldiers, the livestock and the chariots needed for the transportation of baggage supplies are unimaginable!

After the withdrawal, Shen Zangfeng did not look for an opportunity, but although Wugumeng and Ayitahu were hostile, if the Wei army pressed the border, the two departments might be combined in order to avoid extermination. It's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting to pick up the cheapest!

Even if the Shen family fights with the Liu family in the court every year, the money allocated by the court to the Xiliang Army every year cannot be endless!

Once the Great Wei Dynasty was completely turbulent or the country was destroyed, it could not get the money from the imperial court to raise troops, and at that time, the Xiliang army could only rely on the Shen family to support it. When Da Wei was still there, of course, the Shen family had to desperately grab money, but also spend every penny carefully!

It is precisely because of this that Shen Zangfeng made the decision to withdraw the army in the first place, and he has not proposed to send troops again - he has to think about the future.

The foundation of the Shen family is Xiliang, and Xiliang has always belonged to the Central Plains Imperial Court, the rank of the Hainei Gate, and the status of the Central Plains Dynasty, which is what the Shen family cares about the most. Di Ren...... The Shen family has also been defeated in previous years, otherwise it would not have been stained with the scars of Di Ren's sword in the ancestral hall, but then it was not taken back?

And now that the Di people have been greatly injured, even if they take advantage of the Shen family's participation in the battle of the troubled times in the future, they will not be as difficult to deal with as the ambitious, young and resourceful Da Shan who was in his heyday and had the same ambition, youth, strength and strategy as Mushuer.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zangfeng's withdrawal based on long-term considerations would cause great dissatisfaction in Xiliang, and he dared to collude with the Di people to set a trap to murder Shen Zangfeng and his wife, so as to achieve the goal of sending troops again.

What's more, things are not so simple, Wei Changying bluntly said that there are problems in the Shen family, so he deliberately said, "They may not really want to harm you and me." But in fact, if Wei Changying didn't follow her husband to Diecui Pass that time, she fell in love with the white horse at a glance, and the white horse was dedicated to Shen Zangfeng......

Shen Zangfeng is the next lord of the Shen family, and has been painstakingly cultivated by the Shen Xuan brothers for many years, which itself proves his qualifications as a young lord. However, before him, Shen Zangli, the former young lord, had lost the opportunity to take over the Shen family due to the matter of Princess Xinyi of Diren, which gave Shen Xuan a big blow, but fortunately, Shen Zangli was still young and even said that he was young at that time, and Shen Xuan still had time to cultivate the third son.

If something happens to Shen Zangfeng - Shen Zangli has lost his qualifications, and Shen Xuan's rest of the sons, because Shen Zangfeng has been determined to take over Ming Peitang, they will all be cultivated in the direction of not competing with Shen Zangfeng.

The second son, Shen Yong, is really easy to listen to and believe partially, and his temperament is also a little irritable; Shen Zhou's eldest son, Shen Zanghui, the fourth son of the sect, is obviously soft-eared and not very sensible, let alone talk about the overall situation; The fifth son, Shen Zangji, and the sixth son, Shen Yongkun, are young, and as young sons, they have always been considered to have nothing to do with taking over the family, and they are also tolerated when they are taught...... The seventh and eighth sons below are still young!

Speaking of the six valves in China, isn't the decline of the Wei family because of the successive generations of valve owners? The Liu family and the Su family also suffered from this incident; The Duanmu family has been determined because the candidates for the children are not as fierce as the Liu family and the Su family, but there is also an undercurrent of turbulent fighting among the grandchildren; The Song family has few people, so they didn't fight...... The reason why the Shen family is prominent and prosperous among the six valves is not because the heirs are prosperous and there has been no internal fighting in sibling harmony in the past few decades?

This rare harmony in the high-ranking family was brought out by Shen Zhou's willingness to assist his brother, Shen Xuan's gratitude for his brother's help, and his brother's brother and brother Gong's example. But if something happened to Shen Zangfeng, the Shen family, which had been smooth sailing for decades...... God knows what will happen?
