Chapter 39: Alliance and Confrontation (5)
Qi Zhi's face turned pale, turned his horse, waved his hand at the soldiers, and ordered in a low voice: "Stand down for the time being!" ”
He frowned and slowly walked to Zheng Shiyan, "Commander Zheng, the situation is wrong, Wan Heshun is not willing to hand over the army. ”
Zheng Shiyan grabbed the bridle of the horse and muttered, "We are a little underestimated. I didn't expect Wan Heshun to come and guard it in person...... What's his attitude? ”
"It looks like we're going to fight to the death, and he shot an arrow at my horse."
"It's going to be hard." Zheng Shiyan said, "If we really want to merge with fire, Nanjing City will fall into a sea of fire, and the situation will be even more out of control." Besides, this emperor is the king of the county, how dare we touch a single hair of his hair? It's best to confront him here first, and send someone back to ask Lord Lu for advice. ”
Qi Shi nodded, and a pawn came from the side, ordering him to quickly report the situation in front of him, and the man rushed away.
Wan Heshun looked nervously at the gate of the academy, and saw that Qi led three or five teams of people, swinging along the street, holding bows and crossbows, and the momentum was very terrifying.
There were some beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still strengthened his spirit, stepped forward, and said, "Qi Zhi! If you have the ability, you can really kill it, don't make these bluffing postures, I'm not afraid of death! ”
Qi Zhi's eyes were blood-red, and he was so angry that he drew his sword, and was about to order the whole army, when he suddenly looked at the crowd in front and behind, and held back his temper.
Instead, he pointed his sword at Wan Heshun: "Old thing! Old thief! If it weren't for the fact that the official still had some merciful thoughts, you would have gone to see Hades a long time ago! When Lord Lu comes, see how you beg for mercy! ”
Saying that, several officers beside Wan Heshun were about to make a move, but they were stopped by King Wanjun: "This guy is only playing lip service, obviously he doesn't dare to do it; If you really provoke him, there will be endless troubles! Only then did they all persuade.
The two armies confronted each other until their legs and feet were numb, but their swords and guns were held tighter, and their eyes remained unwavering. They didn't notice that time was already twilight.
At this time, Lu Fangxuan urged the horse to arrive, took the Songming torch, and saw Zheng Shiyan first.
"General Zheng, Wan Heshun is still at the door?"
"Yes, the Qi generals have been confronting him for a long time, and they are still unwilling to hand over their military power." Qi replied anxiously.
"It's a pity that I was dizzy at the beginning, and I thought too simply...... Lu Fangxuan was also quite helpless, "Forget it, you take me to the front to take a look." ”
Wan Heshun hid under the courtyard wall and peeked, and when he saw Lu Fangxuan coming on horseback, he beckoned several people to follow him and got on the horse to meet him.
The two looked at each other from afar, and Lu Fangxuan said first: "Brother Wan, if you are reasonable, withdraw your troops early, and I would like to advise you here: taking over the academy is definitely not good for politics." ”
Wan Heshun sneered: "Duke Lu, if you don't know why, don't speculate and get involved in this matter." Mr. Wei clearly promised me, don't you believe that you can ask him to come out to testify! ”
"King Wanjun, can you bear to see our two brothers meet each other? Things have come to this point, how can you still be obsessed? ”
Wan Heshun was not polite this time, and shouted loudly: "Taking over the academy is an iron order, and whoever dares to disobey is rebelling against the government!" If the virtuous brother still has a little conscience, he should not engage in the same party and different parties. I'm a person who is frank and open, and there is no room for sand in his eyes! ”
Lu Fangxuan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked at Qi Shi, and said two words coldly: "Withdraw the troops." ”
Qi Zhi's face was puzzled: "Wouldn't the academy ......?"
"Withdraw." Lu Fangxuan's tone was unquestionable.
What he wanted to say was choked back, so he had to wave his hand angrily: "Go!" ”
He retreated with the front team.
Zheng Shiyan saw it later, and knew that it was Lu Fangxuan's idea, so he didn't ask, and roared: "Go!" ”
Wan Heshun was climbing the outer wall of the academy, looking ahead, seeing the dust flying, thousands of military horses withdrawing one after another, the street was extremely empty, and Wan Heshun's mood became extremely smooth.
"King Wanjun, are you alright?" Huchi came out of the house.
"It's so dangerous," Wan Heshun pointed to his heart, "almost killing me!" ”
Hu Qi's face turned white, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask what had happened.
"Speaking of this, Lu Fangxuan has already withdrawn to the mansion." Wan Heshun gasped.
"Withdrawn?" Hu Qi's face changed again, "The academy ......"
"The academy is a hard bone, let's put it aside for the time being," Wan He said, "After this confrontation, everyone in Nanjing is afraid of themselves, the internal situation is unstable, and there will be riots; Moreover, we can't withstand Lu Fangxuan's snowflake offensive, and we need to rest again. In view of the two points, let's take a moment. ”
"I am going to send someone to Ye Yongjia according to the original plan, arrest him in the palace, torture him, and force him to defend us for the crime." Wan Heshun smiled slyly.
"This ......," Hudge said.
"How?" Wan Heshun looked at him, and his face seemed to be more and more wrong.
"It is said that Ye Yongjia recently met with his fellow Chen in Yangzhou." Hu Qi said, pulled his hands, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Wan Heshun hurriedly got up, but his waist flashed, and he screamed in pain and fell on the chair.
Hu Qi came to help, and he turned around with difficulty: "No, no. Ye Yongjia...... Ye Yongjia, this kid, actually clinged to the Liu Party, which caught people off guard......"
Hu Qi knelt on the ground and persuaded: "Since there is no good plan now, it is better to make peace here." ”
Wan Heshun rubbed his waist, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay...... You repair a book, go to Lu Fangxuan, admit your mistake and seek peace. ”
……
"Where's Mr. Wei?" Xia Yuanlong happily trotted into the courtyard of the academy and asked an old gentleman.
Mr. Wei took a nap in the courtroom. What happened? The old gentleman's eyes lit up, too.
Xia Yuanlong stomped his feet: "You didn't see it?" The garrison outside is gone! ”
He didn't explain much, and hurried to find Wei Huai.
Wei Huai slept with his eyebrows locked on the rocking chair, Xia Yuanlong walked lightly, slowly approached, and saw that the sun was red, shining directly on Wei Huai's face. Yuan Long leaned forward and quietly covered him with his hand.
Who would have thought that the shadow of this hand flickered in front of his face, but it woke Wei Huai up. He furrowed his brows and opened his eyes to look at Yuan Long.
"Mr. Wei, Lord Wei Alliance," Yuan Longzuo clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Listening to Governor Ye, Wan Heshun not only made peace with Lu Fangxuan, but also withdrew the academy's soldiers and took over the academy, so you should just take it as a joke." ”
When Wei Huai heard this, he laughed, and then reached out to get the rattan crutches, "Good news, good news!" ”
"Mr. Wei, slow down." Xia Yuanlong helped him up.
"Our academy is seeing the light of day! I'm going to tell the people in the league first, and then to the people!" Wei Huai brushed up strands of white hair and walked like flying.
As soon as Ye Yongjia left the academy, he heard a small drama report that Chen Tongpao was about to leave because of official business in Yangzhou; He was stunned in his heart, so he went straight to the museum to see him off.
