In his eyes, Zhu Wen will be a genius who governs the country, and he will definitely be able to carry forward the Yellow Heaven Sect. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A month later, the weather gradually warmed, and the whole land of Middle-earth began to rejuvenate, and the frozen land began to slow down.

Since that conversation, Zhu Wen has not had much contact with Xie Tong, and he has not asked much about Xie Tong's admission of Hong Ye.

On this day, Xie Tong was drinking with Lao Lai in his camp tent, when suddenly the herald came to report, and Zhu Wen took them to the Shuai camp to discuss matters.

The two looked at each other, maybe there was another war.

The generals came to Zhu Wen's camp, and Zhu Wen saw that the people had arrived, and said, "General Huo has news that the grain route of Huangchao has been completely blocked."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Huo Zixin really lived up to expectations and completed this arduous mission.

Zhu Wen seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "From now on, Ben Hou will make a deployment of troops, Xie Tong and Lao Lai, give up the position between Chang'an and Tongguan, and deploy in the south of Chang'an." ”

Lao Lai said puzzledly, "General, this position was fought by the officers and men of our army after a bloody battle, and it was so easy to give it to people, is there any lack of consideration."

Zhu Wen's face sank, and he said, "This is the way to win, you must understand that what you take in advance must be given first."

Xie Tong asked, "Uncle Shi, can you make it clearer?" ”

Zhu Wen said unhappily: "Xie Tong, how did you do it, you don't understand such a simple truth! Go back and think about it. Tomorrow the retreat begins. Let's all go back!"

Xie Tong and the others returned to their camp, and Lao Lai said unhappily, "Xie Tong, your uncle has changed a little bit recently, isn't it just to explain a problem?"

Xie Tong sighed and said, "The kid can't help it, oh, aren't you scolded for a few ****."

Hong Shan said, "I don't know if you have noticed, Uncle Shi, he has recently called himself the Hou Ye, and he looks quite enjoyable, it stands to reason that he is also a nobleman, contrary to the purpose of the Yellow Heaven Sect, he will not be corrupt!"

Xie Tong shook his head and said, "Since he went to Chengdu, the situation has changed greatly, as if he has changed a person, hey, it seems that he is really interested in aristocracy." ”

Cai Wei said faintly, "Maybe it's not as you say, master, he may be making a false accusation and deceiving the support of the saint and Song Wenyuan!"

Lao Lai shook his head and nodded a little, he changed his skeptical attitude and said, "What Cai Wei said makes sense, Senior Zhu may really be acting for them." Let's not doubt anymore. ”

Xie Tong glanced at Lao Lai suspiciously, he knew Lao Lai very well, and Lao Lai's words undoubtedly hinted at many things.

Lao Lai caught a glimpse of Xie Tong's gaze, smiled, and said, "Xie boy, I'll leave tomorrow, if you don't accompany my brother and me to go around and issue orders." ”

Xie Tong said, "Let's go!"

The two of them walked out of the camp one after the other, and everywhere they went, they conveyed Zhu Wen's orders and asked the battalion commanders of each battalion to start preparing.

"Not bad", Lao Lai also stood up,

After turning around a long time, he came to a place where no one was around, and Xie Tong said, "Lai, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Lao Lai said, "Your uncle has indeed changed, and he has become exactly the same as the nobles, what do you think about this." ”

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "The younger brother is also aware of this, but I really don't know what to do, he is my uncle, is my savior, it seems that I can only accept it, and after the unification of the world, I will live in seclusion with beauty!"

Lao Lai asked again, "Brother Xian, have you thought about it, if Senior Zhu and Song Wenyuan join hands, it may cause the dying aristocratic valve to resurrect and become the opposite of your Yellow Heaven Sect, when the time comes, will you stand by and let the people of the world suffer, or will you wave your arms and fight a decisive battle with Senior Zhu!"

Xie Tong was taken aback, and said, "My senior uncle shouldn't be like this, right? He still adheres to the concept of putting the teacher first, and he will not betray the master no matter what!"

Lao Lai continued, "Xie Tong, you have to plan the overall situation, Senior Zhu is not the loyal and courageous hero of the past, half of his blood has been rotten by the life of the nobles, otherwise, he is jealous and hateful, why is he reluctant to attack Song Wenyuan, the overall situation is no longer an excuse, even if Song Wenyuan is dead now, are you sure that there will be a large-scale riot in Sichuan and Shu!"

Xie Tong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Lao Lai said firmly, "I'll tell you, no, since Song Kui's death, the situation in Sichuan and Shu has changed fundamentally, the original belief has disappeared with Song Kui's death, the people of Sichuan and Shu obey the emperor Tang Xizong, Song Wenyuan has lost his status in their hearts, it is obvious that Zhu Wen must have reached some kind of agreement with Song Wenyuan, and no one knows the content of the agreement."

Xie Tong was in a cold sweat when he heard it, he had already believed in Lao Lai's words, and the only two points were the memory of Zhu Wen.

Lao Lai continued, "During this time, due to Zhu Wen's joining, you have become accustomed to listening to his instructions, and he is the only one who looks ahead, and all the big and small affairs are left to him to do, and the previous you have also disappeared!"

Xie Tong nodded, what Lao Lai said was true, he had changed from the powerful Xie Tong back then to a follower of Zhu Wen. He thought for a long time and said, "Lai, to be honest, I'm very confused now, I don't know how to deal with these things, hey, I can't do anything about my uncle." Let me think about it! That's a real headache. ”

Lao Lai said, "You'd better hurry up and think about it, and remember, don't let Cai Wei know about these things."

Xie Tong nodded, Cai Wei's admiration for her master Zhu Wen was almost to the point of admiration, that is, Zhu Wen's words, she could die immediately.

Xie Tong returned to the camp in a sullen mood, and coincidentally, Hong Shan was waiting for him in the camp.

Seeing him come back, Hong Shan greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Tong, but what's unpleasant!"

Xie Tong nodded and shook his head again.

Hong Shan smiled and said, "Even if you don't say it, Shan'er can guess that Uncle Zhu has changed, from a humble hero to Hou Ye, which makes him stand on the opposite side of you, so you are unhappy, aren't you?"

Xie Tong looked at the beloved woman in front of her, she was so smart that every detail fell into her eyes without any mistakes, and she had a very good grasp of the situation.

Xie Tong let out a long sigh and said, "Shan'er, what should I do!"

Hong Shan snuggled up to him and sat on the side of the plan, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Brother Tong, please forgive Shan'er for being presumptuous, Uncle Shi, he has been paralyzed by the life of the aristocracy, Song Wenyuan completely confused him with the power of wine, throughout the ages, it is difficult for reckless heroes to resist this temptation, Huang Chao is a living example, if he was in a hurry at that time, the Tang Dynasty would have already fallen, how could it be Zhu Wen's turn to be powerful today." ”

Xie Tong understood that Hong Shan and Lao Lai had the same thoughts.

Xie Tong said, "Shan'er, I'm in pain now, I don't know what to do!"

Hong Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Tong, I understand your state of mind, but there are some things that are not a matter of whether we do or not, but the problems they target and don't target you.

Xie Tong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't believe that his uncle would treat him like this, could he really give up everything and betray his master for the sake of power and glory and wealth? At this moment, he had completely lost his mind.

Hong Shan continued, "Brother Hitomi, we must be on strict guard and make all plans. ”

Xie Tong's mind was already confused, and he said, "What does Shan'er think!"

Hong Shan said, "First, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, only you, me and Brother Lai know, especially beware of Cai Wei." Second, we must quietly cultivate our own forces, even if we turn against our uncle, we must ensure that we have enough troops to be able to compete with it. Third, create a momentum, so that the people of the whole world will have a sense of heroism towards you, so that Zhu Wen will feel the pressure and dare not act rashly against you. As for the future, let's talk about it depending on the situation!"

Xie Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, Hong Shan's suggestion was very effective, he couldn't help but hold Hong Shan's little hand, and said, "Shan'er is really my female Zhuge !"

Hong Shan said shyly, "Brother Tong, you are a fan of the authorities! Hey, Shan'er doesn't want to be an enemy of Uncle Shi, but he really wants to stand on the opposite side of us!"

In the early morning of the next day, the army began to slowly retreat south, and according to Zhu Wen's order, withdrew to the south of Chang'an.

This retreat completely gave way from Chang'an to Tongguan, which surprised the Huangchao group, but Huangchao finally gave up Chang'an, and the whole army poured out of the nest and rushed to Tongguan.

This hero, who has been dominant in the past 20 years, was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, and in less than two years, he abandoned Chang'an and retreated outside the pass.

Xie Tong and the others looked at the position they had worked so hard to manage, and their hearts were full of helplessness, and they watched Huang Chao run by like a lost dog.

Suddenly, Zhu Wen came with an order, ordering Xie Tong and the others to immediately follow the pursuit and kill Huang Chao's living force.

Huang Chao was really played by Zhu Wen.

Xie Tong and Lao Lai led the men and horses to chase Huang Chao for three days and three nights, and Huang Chao threw away almost everything that could be thrown away, and the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses along the way.

It wasn't until he fled into Tongguan that this situation changed.

However, Xie Tong also suffered heavy casualties, he and Lao Lai's men and horses were together, there were at least 50,000 people, and in this battle, there were more than 10,000 casualties.

Faced with Huang Chao's entry into Tongguan, Xie Tong was also quite helpless, and Zhu Wen issued orders three times to let them storm Tongguan, and their purpose was clear and unmistakable, reducing Xie Tong's vocal power. Xie Tong refused to attack the city on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Three days later, Zhu Wen's army arrived at Tongguan.

Zhu Wen saw that Xie Tong's army was in high spirits, where there was a trace of fatigue, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said, "Xie Tong, you simply disappointed me, in those years, there was a shortage of soldiers and major generals, where did you go across the north and south." ”

Xie Tong smiled but did not speak, quietly listening to Zhu Wen's scolding.

Zhu Wen glanced at Tongguan and said contemptuously, "Pass on the order of Benhou, from tomorrow the three armies will advance together and storm Tongguan, if you violate the order, Xie Tong will lead your troops to take the lead and open the way for the whole army to annihilate Huangchao. Xie Tong, do you have any opinions? ”

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Obey the general's orders"

Zhu Wen didn't even look at Xie Tong, turned around and returned to the camp.

There is no doubt that his dislike for Xie Tong has been put on the table, and he is no longer confined to private.

Xie Tong hurriedly returned to the camp with his brothers, and the atmosphere in the camp was very bad, and everyone was depressed, but no one said a word.

Cai Wei took the lead and said, "Why is the master's tone so weird, no, I'm going to find him and comment on it!"

Xie Tong wanted to stop him, but he wanted to stop talking, Cai Wei was simple, and Zhu Wen was not obedient, and the situation with his participation would be quite unoptimistic, so he had to let her leave.

After Cai Wei left, only Xie Tong, Hong Shan, Lao Lai and Nightingale were left in the camp.

Lao Lai glanced at everyone and said, "Xie Tong, it seems that your uncle is completely dead this time and wants to eradicate you." ”

Nightingale glanced at Lao Lai and said, "Maybe Senior Zhu is afraid that Xie Tong will become bigger! Hey, what's the point of arguing, why don't you give up Xie Tong! You are not the kind of person who is attached to power, since you have nothing to love, why don't you take the initiative, do you still fight with your uncle to the death? This is too meaningless. ”

Xie Tong sighed and said bitterly, "Hey, I, Xie Tong, am not obsessed with power, I have worked hard so far, just for the morality of the teacher, just to give the people of the world a saying, Uncle Shi is tantamount to betraying the teacher, how can I turn a blind eye." ”

Everyone was silent, Xie Tong said this, and if he wanted to openly tear his face with Zhu Wen.

After a long time, Hong Shan said, "Brother Tong, all this stems from Song Wenyuan's bewitchment of him, as long as he gets rid of Song Wenyuan, he may not change his attitude with emotion and reason for Uncle Xiaozhi." The evil internal force comes from the decay of the aristocracy, and the Song clan is the last force of the valve, so it is better to strangle it directly in our hands!"

Lao Lai said, "We have to seize the opportunity, it is best to lure Song Wenyuan to the Central Plains, in Chengdu, we have no chance." ”

Before the words fell, Cai Wei had already run into the camp with a crying face.

Xie Tong said, "Cai Wei, what happened! Did you quarrel with Uncle Shi?"

Cai Wei cried for a while before she said, "I was reasoning with my master, but who knew that he didn't listen to my advice, and said that I didn't learn anything and lost my gentle things, so let me learn hard and marry me to Song Wenyuan in the future." ”

Everyone was taken aback, Zhu Wen's actions were too much, everyone knew about Cai Wei and Xie Tong, but they didn't make it public, and they wanted to marry her to Song Wenyuan, which was no longer any buffer between the two of them.

"It's too much", Xie Tong was angry, smashed the corner of the case with one palm, and said, "I'll find him to theorize." ”

"Slow", Hong Shan stopped Xie Tong and said, "Brother Tong, you can't be so reckless. Since Uncle Shi has done this, he must have thought of an excuse to deal with you, and if you go like this, there will be no result. Do you want to fight with him? ”

Xie Tong's enthusiasm poured into his brain, but he didn't know how to vent. (To be continued.) )
