Chapter 196: Smiling Tiger
As soon as Wang Xun saw Sun Derong, who was also the deputy general of Hukou Pass, and bowed down, his face suddenly became ugly.
But he remembered again what Mr. May had said to him,
Immediately, he also lowered his head, led a group of generals behind him, and bowed to Li Daoyuan.
At this time, who was still standing still, only the old general Wang Chenghu was left.
Li Daoyuan walked in front of Wang Chenghu, looking at the old general with long white hair and strong spirits. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Old General Wang, you are really old and strong, but why don't you bow down when you see this king?"
"Forgive the veteran for his armor and can't give a full salute!"
Wang Chenghu raised his hand and hugged his fist, and said to Li Daoyuan with full of anger,
"Good, good, good!"
Li Daoyuan said hello three times in a row, and then he looked down, knelt on the ground and knocked on the generals, and said: "The ground is cold, get up!"
"Thank you for your love!"
Sun Derong replied gratefully, and then he got up from the ground, walked to Li Daoyuan's side in a few steps, nodded and showed Li Daoyuan the way into the city.
"Hmm,"
Li Daoyuan nodded and hummed lightly, and surrounded by a group of generals and a yellow sword in the arms of Xiao Anzi, he passed through the gate of Hukou Pass and walked towards the prince's mansion prepared for him in Guanzhong.
Along the way, Li Daoyuan saw that the houses in Hukou Pass were all traces of war.
There are arrow holes on some houses, which have not yet been cleaned urgently, and the blood stains on the walls that have congealed cannot be wiped off.
"Aren't there more than 50 generals in Guanzhong, why are there only a few of you here today?"
Li Daoyuan asked casually as he walked.
"Your Highness Qiqi, most of the generals who failed to come to greet His Highness have a task on their side, either going out of the customs to investigate the enemy's situation, or being on duty in the pass, I hope Your Highness can understand!"
Sun Derong was on the side, and hurriedly bowed down and replied,
"Oh, probe the enemy, will Zheng Guo make a comeback after this defeat?"
Li Daoyuan asked with interest, this is the key to whether his task can be completed.
"Although Zheng Guo has experienced this defeat, their main force has not broken their muscles and bones, and they have been eyeing the outside of the pass, wanting to wait for the opportunity to move, but we did not take it lightly, but the Hukou Pass is a dangerous place after all, and the veteran pleads with the prince to go to the imperial city as soon as possible after rewarding the soldiers. ”
Without waiting for Sun Derong to reply, Wang Chenghu was on the side and said first.
"General Wang, how did you talk to the prince, the itinerary of the ninth prince, can you call the shots?"
Sun Derong muttered to Wang Chenghu dissatisfied, if he had been a deputy general before, he would not dare to speak to his immediate boss like this, but now it is different, I didn't see Wang Xun, who was in two factions with him, saw his own prince today, isn't it an honest kowtow.
At this time, Sun Derong walked a little flutteringly, and he thought in his heart that it seemed that the rumors were true, and his ninth prince was about to become the crown prince.
"Okay, after all, General Wang is out of consideration for the safety of this king, Sun Derong, you have to say a few words. ”
Li Daoyuan came to a relatively quiet courtyard in Guanzhong, and said calmly,
"The little general commands!"
As soon as Sun Derong heard Li Daoyuan and called him by his name, his already ruddy face was even more ruddy, and he immediately said excitedly, and he didn't forget to glance at Wang Chenghu beside him.
"Sun Derong stayed, and the others sent the king to the capital here, and when the king arrived from the royal house, the cupboard servants brought by the king arrived, and then held a celebration banquet for the soldiers. ”
Li Daoyuan did not reply to the order, and then he took Xiao Anzi, Yang Wei, Yang Wu, and Sun Derong into the courtyard.
As soon as Li Daoyuan sat down in the hall in the courtyard, he asked Liu Fujiang, who was standing in the hall, "Sun Derong, are you guilty!"
"Ahh
When Sun Derong heard this, he hurriedly raised his head in astonishment, looked at Murong Xuanfeng who was sitting on the main seat, and saw that Murong Xuanfeng was also looking at him expressionlessly.
He and Murong Xuanfeng, who Li Daoyuan pretended to be, looked at each other, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and kept saying: "The last general will know the guilt, the last will know the guilt, the last will know the guilt......"
"Oh, since you are guilty, let me ask you, what is the guilt?"
Li Daoyuan chuckled lightly and asked next.
"What a crime......
Sun Derong knelt on the ground and thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what crime he had committed.
"Okay, Sun Derong wants this king to be the emperor now, you will be guilty of one more crime, and you have committed the crime of deceiving the king, and this king will not be verbose with you, let me ask you, why is the credit of this victory in Hukou Pass taken away by the timid Wang Xun, are you not as good as him?"
Li Daoyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a cold voice,
"The last general should be damned, that Wang Xun didn't know where he found it, a very powerful strategist, because this person looks smiling all day long, but his heart is insidious and vicious, so we call this person a smiling tiger in private, this sneak attack on Zheng Guo's grain and grass, it should also be this person is a strategy, otherwise that timid Wang Xun, he has the courage to do such an amazing thing, and please ask the prince to see it, what the last general said, every sentence is true, there is no half-truth, and the last general's favor to the head of the family will never dare to forget!”
Sun Derong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still lay on the ground and said tremblingly,
"I see, get up, this king will forgive you first, and in the future, as long as you listen to the king's orders, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth if you become an official and enter the knighthood!"
Li Daoyuan's results against Sun Derong and Enwei are not bad,
This person immediately swore a poisonous oath in front of him, and said a lot of words that he was willing to go to the soup and fire.
However, what Sun Derong said is also good, Li Daoyuan is going to let them go to the soup for him.
After waving his hand to drive away Sun Derong, Li Daoyuan closed his eyes and pondered for a while in the bright hall, thinking of Wang Xun's adviser and Wang Chenghu, the guard of Hukou Pass, who seemed to be his stumbling blocks.
Wang Chenghu, the guard of Hukou Pass, Li Daoyuan must be eliminated, otherwise he will not be able to easily mobilize the army in Hukou Pass.
And Wang Xun's advisers are not in a small danger, as long as he is there, the generals of Wang Xun's faction should not obediently listen to their own dispatches.
But for Li Daoyuan, this person can be eliminated first and then quickly, but it is also possible to use his pretended identity as a prince to recruit this person.
After all, it is common sense for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places.
Li Daoyuan's current status as a prince is better than Wang Xun's identity as a deputy general.
