Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 356 The Battle for the Heart (I)

"The minister is guilty, it was the minister's negligence that allowed his soldiers to go out at will, causing the barbarians to come to the door to provoke, making His Majesty embarrassed, and asking His Majesty to punish him!"

After De Long Kuo took away a few of the soldiers of the Sun Battalion who had been ordered, Yang Xuan, who followed Sun Ning back to the back courtyard, immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, his face full of self-blame and chagrin.

Sun Ning looked at him, and only after a moment sighed, waved his hand, and said, "You get up, I won't hold you responsible." Even if there is no such thing, with the thoughts of the Long family, I am afraid that they will come up with other means to make us passive and embarrassed. ”

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he understood the meaning of Sun Ning's words: "Your Majesty means that this is their deliberate framing of the officers and soldiers of our army?" ”

Sun Ning nodded, Yang Xuan was loyal enough, but his mind was still too simple, so he could only stay by his side and be a guard commander.

"Then they are so bold! If you dare to bully the king like this, aren't you afraid that we will investigate it to the end? Yang Xuan said excitedly at this time, "Your Majesty, it's better to let the ministers reason with them and find out the matter!" ”

"Just you?" Sun Ning immediately denied this countermeasure, "This is their territory, you don't really think that I, the emperor, can make the Long family feel awe, right?"

"Also, even if it can be reasonable, this time the matter is carefully arranged by them, whether it is human and material evidence, or the environment of the bitter master, it is all up to them, even if the soldiers below are innocent, they also have a way to impose the crime on our heads.

"If you really go to the theory, you will only waste your efforts and bring humiliation on yourself."

Yang Xuan was stunned again, and it took a while to understand the truth, although his face was still full of indignation, he couldn't say anything, he could only look forward to looking at the emperor, waiting for Sun Ning to give a proper countermeasure.

Sun Ning looked at him and said, "So what we can do now is to be patient for the time being, see what tricks they can play, and then see each other." ”

He knew that the Long family's taking people away was just the beginning, and there would definitely be a series of means that would be used in the future, let's see what they were going to do.

……

"Is there no reaction from the emperor's side?" Long Jingyao frowned slightly after hearing the report from his subordinates, which was completely different from what he had imagined before.

In his and his father's imagination, this sudden attack was bound to catch Sun Ning off guard, so that he would intervene and counterattack in anger, and then the Long family would be able to take out all the relevant human and physical evidence that had been prepared earlier, and testify against the various illegal acts of the Han generals in front of all the other clan leaders, so that they could take advantage of the situation to provoke conflicts between the two sides, and then ......

But at the moment, this first step has not been completely successful, so that he is like a punch on the cotton, and the subsequent offensive will naturally be completely uncontrollable.

"I can't see it, although this emperor is young, he is quite steady, which is very different from his previous behavior of daring to come to Kuizhou in person." Thinking in his heart, Long Jingyao's evaluation of Sun Ning has improved by a large number and attaches more importance to it.

"So what do we do next? Is it to condemn these people to death for their crimes? After waiting for a while and not seeing any reaction from him, the men asked in a low voice.

"The charges of these Han generals naturally have to be implemented, but this is far from enough. After all, this time a patriarch and his son died, and things must be bigger! Long Jingyao pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered, "First, spread the news so that people from other tribes know about a previous cause, that is, the emperor had met Ishihara Kui in private before, but the result was unhappy.

"Second, tomorrow in the name of my Long family, I will send invitations to the tribal chiefs and let them come back again. If you don't understand some words, they won't understand. ”

"Yes, what about the Han people?"

"Continue to send people to keep an eye on them, and as long as they have any abnormal movements, they will report them quickly."

It wasn't until his subordinates took the order and left, Long Jingyao fell into a deep groan again, and after a while, he said to himself: "Kuizhou is my Long family's territory after all, and since you stepped into the city, your life and death have been completely up to you!" ”

……

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and it turned out that the Long family's stalking on Sun Ning's side was obviously useless, because on this day, no military general left the range of the other garden, let alone they reacted excessively.

It seems that these Han generals have been frightened by the previous case, and they are so frightened that they don't even dare to go out of the gate, feeling that only in this way can they ensure their safety.

When this situation reached Long Jingyao's ears before the party, not only did he not feel disappointed, but showed a smug smile, how could this game be so easy to unravel?

With a smile on his mind, he came to the hall where all the patriarchs and leaders gathered, and after entering the door, the smile on his face turned serious.

At the invitation of the Long family, all the chiefs and leaders of the tribes in Kuizhou were present, even if it was a traitor from Kuizhou who had already expressed his allegiance to the imperial court, such as Jiao Sijue, he was still present at this moment.

Because in the end, they still have to rely on the snort of the Yanglong family to ensure the safety of their tribe, at least until the imperial army really rules Kuizhou.

Long Jingyao easily went to the top under the gaze of everyone, and after sitting down without concessions, he said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, because my father is ill, I will talk to you on behalf of the entire Long family at this gathering today. Therefore, what I am talking about today is the attitude of the Long family! ”

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this, and such arrangements have happened many times before. However, for Long Chengbang's body, a few people were quite concerned, and greeted a few casually, all of which were dealt with by Long Jingyao one by one.

Then, he coughed again and went straight to the point: "The sudden arrival of the Emperor of Yue is indeed a surprise to all of us, I know that each of you has different ideas, and even some people have already had further contact with the Emperor, and may have received more benefits from him." ”

With these words, the atmosphere in the hall became a little strange and depressing, and many people bowed their heads weakly, not daring to have contact with Long Jingyao and some of his companions.

For example, Jiao Sijue's body was a little tense, and he peeked around, for fear that he would suddenly rush into several guards of the Long family at this time and drag himself out on the charge of betraying everyone.

Fortunately, Long Jingyao didn't do this, but quickly swept his gaze over everyone, and then smiled: "Actually, it's not a problem, but I admire the emperor's courage, and I also know how difficult our situation in Kuizhou is." So it's reasonable for some of you to have a bit of a back-and-forth. ”
