Chapter 765: Great Rebellion
After all, Yuan Changkong was the general of Yunshan Kingdom, and Luo Tian's words were really a bit rebellious in his eyes.
"You want to rebel?" Yuan Changkong's voice sounded trembling slightly.
"This should be called an uprising, I thought that our Luo family put Ji Yuan on the throne, he can be a good emperor, not to mention what he did to our Luo family, politically, in order to tie up the two empires, a number of unequal treaties have been secretly signed, several cities on the border have been reached, militarily, the Tieyu Kingdom is about to hit the doorstep, but still thinking about his throne instead of the safety of the Li people, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of my father and his old subordinates, today, the Great King City is probably already the Tieyu Kingdom. ”
What Luo Tian said was not fabricated, before he took the throne, Ji Yuan was the most popular among the princes, but after he took the throne, he repressed the army and suppressed business, changed the system, and complained about the compulsory conscription alone, but the conscription was conscripted, and the policy of impermanent generals was also issued, which made the troops composed of many recruits not have a strong cohesion, and how much combat effectiveness can a disunited army pull to the battlefield?
Don't look at the short period of more than two years, the army of Yunshan Kingdom has expanded by nearly 200,000, but this time after the invasion of Tieyu Country, various problems were soon exposed, the domestic economy was on the verge of collapse, and the national territory could not be preserved, and his so-called slogan of bold reform to build a strong country was still echoing in his ears, but Yunshan Country was about to fall.
How could Yuan Changkong not know these things, but he was just a minister, and his former ambitions were gradually smoothed out, and now he only wanted to climb up step by step, and one day he could return to Dawang City from the captain of the Sin Tiger to become a general.
Yuan Changkong said in fear after seeing Luo Tian's admittion: "Rebellion is absolutely impossible, Luo Tian, your Luo family is a loyal martyr, is it possible that you want to ruin the reputation of your Luo family, you still want me to help, I helped you, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Luo Tian smiled and said, "I'm actually giving you a chance to protect yourself by doing this." ”
When Yuan Changkong heard this, he cast a puzzled look.
"The big war is imminent, if Cang'er City is broken, Dawang City will be in danger, Ji Yuan may not be able to save his life, when the country falls, where will you go, do you still think that you can eat in the Tieyu Country? ”
Yuan Changkong didn't say anything, but it seemed that he was really moved.
"Moreover, I sneaked into Cang'er City this time to help my father withdraw from the army, and it was Yunshan Country that I protected, as for whether I want to revolt and overthrow Ji Yuan in the future, it's not a matter of sight, why should you worry, no one knows if you secretly brought us into Cang'er City, Ji Yuan can't blame you, you also did me a favor, which is equivalent to leaving a way out for yourself, he and I have a dispute with Ji Yuan, you can be optimistic about the direction of the wind, if I am not defeated, you can kill me and make meritorious service, if Ji Yuan is not defeated, I will naturally say a few good words for you when the new emperor ascends the throne, and then you may not be just a little sin Tiger Captain." 。 ”
Luo Tian's kung fu was really good, and Yuan Changkong, who said after some words, was quite moved, his expression was cloudy, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "I will help you enter the city secretly, you must not tell anyone." ”
Luo Tian laughed and said, "Of course." ”
In a few words, he moved Yuan Changkong, but in fact, he was able to succeed because Yuan Changkong himself had already had the intention of finding a way back, Yunshan Country was getting worse, and the century-old foundation was about to fail, Yuan Changkong always had to find a way out for himself, and Luo Tian was one of the ways out he thought of.
That night, Yuan Changkong took the ghost Lao Wu and several other felons of the criminal tiger, and pulled a few prisoner carts covered with black cloth to the side gate of Cang'er City.
The guards naturally stopped the prisoner car, and Yuan Changkong lied that it contained prisoners captured from Tie Yu Country, but he was seriously ill, and his face was very rotten, so he covered it with a black cloth, and the guards didn't dare to offend Yuan Changkong, so after a cursory glance, they put them in.
Luo Tian sat in the prisoner car and looked out through the black cloth, Cang'er City has long been different from what it used to be, the prosperous city of Yunshan Country in the past is now depressed, in the past, Cang'er City was full of lantern feasts at night, and all kinds of restaurants and happy places along the street were open all night, and now, before the time of the unitary, the people were no longer visible on the road, and they were all patrolling soldiers.
In the Marshal's Mansion, Lorraine was looking at the orders sent from the royal city one after another, and the generals under him were also gossiping, and most of them were worried.
"Deputy marshal, you can't hang up the battle exemption card anymore, the morale of the army is weak, many soldiers and the generals below are depressed, and if you continue like this, it will be self-defeating. ”
"The emperor's holy decree, the orders of the military department have come countless times, the holy one is furious, how can we bear it if we condemn it?"
The hall full of generals was talking, and Lorraine rubbed the bridge of his nose and shouted, "Shut up!"
After a loud shout, the generals were silent.
"I will make a decision on this matter after discussing it with my father, and before that, if anyone goes to war in private or acts of defection, there will be no mercy. ”
After saying that, Lorraine brushed his sleeves and left.
On the corridor of the Marshal's Mansion, Lorraine had a pot of warm wine in his hand, a cigarette roll in his hand, and his face was full of exhaustion.
Sorrow welled up in his heart, and he sighed and said, "If Xiao Tian is here, maybe he can help me a little." ”
As soon as he said this to himself, his adjutant walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "Deputy marshal, someone asks to see you." ”
It's so late, who will come to see Lorraine, could it be that it is the minister of the military sent from Dawang City, he got angry at the thought of these civil officials who are actually useless in pointing fingers, and immediately said: "No, let him wait." ”
The adjutant was a little embarrassed, and leaned over and whispered, "It's your younger brother, Luo Tian." ”
In the side hall, Luo Tian and the others were waiting, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and when they turned their heads, they saw Lorraine striding in, and even the adjutant behind him couldn't catch up.
After nearly three years of separation, the brothers finally met, two pairs of big hands were tightly clasped together, Lorraine looked at his younger brother, Luo Tian looked at his brother, and he could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
"Stinky boy, why are you back?" asked Lorraine after pulling Luo Tian to sit down.
"There is such a big thing at home, how can I stay out of it, I came back this time to help. Luo Tian said.
Lorraine looked at him, then at Zhu Hua, who came with him, and at Teacher Yu Ze, who was a little drunk with a wine jug, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Didn't I ask Zico to send you a letter and not let you come back, you are outside and our Luo family at least has hope, if you come back and be revealed, then the last hope of our Luo family will also be destroyed." ”
Zico walked out with his head down, knelt in front of Lorraine and said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry Vice Marshal, I didn't persuade Young Master Tian." ”
Luo Tian waved his hand and said: "It's none of his business, I must come back, my mother was thrown into prison by Ji Yuan, how can I sit idly by, what about my father?"
"Hey, my father has been depressed in his heart after he retired, Rong Ma didn't expect to be abandoned by the royal family in the end, so his health has not been good, this time he went into battle, the war was tight, he was often on the front line, and he was already under a lot of pressure, and then I heard that my mother was captured by Ji Yuan, and it happened to be a sneak attack by the Black Jiao troops of the Iron Feather Country, and he was injured, and now he is recuperating, the doctor said that the injury will not be fatal, but he will not recover in the short term, so I hung out the exemption card. ”
Hearing that his father was injured, Luo Tian's heart also pinched, and he hurriedly said, "Take me to see my father." ”
Outside Luo Kun's house, when Luo Lin pushed the door open, Luo Tian was wearing a black robe and a hood, Luo Lin said that there were also Ji Yuan's spies in the marshal's mansion, so Luo Tian couldn't show his head too much, so he lied that he was a doctor invited by the rivers and lakes.
There was only one lamp in the room, it was a little dim, Luo Kun sat by the window and looked at the bright moon outside, a few years away, when he said goodbye, Luo Tian's father was pale in his eyes, and he was too old.
