Chapter 1, Section 26: The Return of the King (2) 056/017
Hearing that the war in front of him had subsided, Dongxue cried loudly.
Lu Qian didn't understand, and said hurriedly: "It's great news that the war has subsided, why are you so sad, brother and sister?"
Dong Xue cried: "Big brother doesn't know something, this war has been decided, but how can I handle all the things in this house, in the village, and in the army?
Lu Qian also nodded and sighed, and said: "Brother and sister are worried, now the army lacks three virtuous brothers and Tianbao Palace to kill them, there is no more loyal and brave person who can balance the forces of all parties, the British soldiers are strong and strong, Yuan Ren is also impatient to waver, Dajin Kingdom is hindered by Qiu Chu's opportunity to raise troops is to temporarily seek peace, but Lin'an is across the river, hey, my Xuzhou soldiers are not far from the existence of the real death! Hey, there is ah," Lu Qian glanced up at the women present and said: " When the county lord came back this time, I looked at it as if he had changed his person. The county lord ordered Qiu's sailors to conspire with the two villages to wash Zhujiazhuang in blood, but they didn't greet me in advance, even Lord Yu Huaicheng also gave the county lord a token to do things in moderation!"
Dongxue and the others were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other.
Xia He said: "This Zhujiazhuang will be exterminated sooner or later, and the county lord's move is just right to save all of us, and revenge for a hundred years!"
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "Big brother, what I'm worried about is that I am afraid that the county lord will not let go of her heart and refuse to let you go and help hide the matter of Dongfang girl and Miss He!
Xia He pouted and said, "Who said no, I went to the river to see the county lord that day, but the county lord never looked at me squarely." And bring me back to Sister Dongxue's side, big brother, I see that the county lord will not let us two go easily!"
Dongxue glanced sideways at Xia He. Said: "We have to admit punishment if we do something wrong, what is there to complain about and cry out for grievances! When the matter here in Tongzhou is over, I will go to ask Miss for guilt! Xia He. You've got to be like me!"
Xia He pouted and said, "What is in the way of our sisters!"
Dong Xue said angrily: "Do you still remember how good the prince and princess were to us, do you still remember how good the young lady was to us?"
Xia He hung his head and didn't dare to speak.
Lu Qian shook his hand and said, "You two don't have to quarrel over this! The most important thing at the moment is how to handle the affairs of Tongzhou? If you don't use Yuan Ren, who should you use? After the army returns, how should you deal with the various forces in the army? For this reason, I personally ran to Tongzhou City once!"
Dong Xue shook her head and said, "To be honest, big brother, I never thought that the war would end like this, and I never thought about what would happen after the retreat of this army!
Lu Qian sighed and said, "In this eventful autumn, if you don't take a thorough step, you will lose the whole situation! You and the county lord are now the backbone of Renjiabao and Xuzhou soldiers. Whether it's good or bad, we have to take it, and we must not order more than one door, otherwise the Xuzhou soldiers will really exist in name only, and they will not be far from disbanding!"
Dong Xue was embarrassed: "Big brother, how can I take such a major military event as a woman!"
Lu Qian said: "No matter how you choose, brother and sister, it is incumbent on the eldest brother to raise his hand in approval! What the eldest brother wants to tell you here is that Tianqi secretly confessed before leaving, saying that foreign affairs may not be asked to Lord Yingguiquan, and family affairs may not be asked to the owner of Maohua Teahouse!"
Dong Xue got up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take fifty guards to Xuzhou overnight to see Lord Deying!"
Lu Qian nodded. said: "I can only do this, I will also go back to Yangzhou overnight!"
Dong Xue hurriedly ordered someone to get his clothes and armor and put them on, and then turned his head and instructed Xia He: "It will take four or five days to go back and forth, and it will inevitably not attract the attention of others." You still went to stay in the Mongolian army camp overnight, and said to the outside world that I went down to inspect it!"
Fairy Huang Xing took her long sword and said, "Girl, I don't feel at ease if you go alone." I'll go with you, so I'll take care of it on the way!"
Dongxue nodded, went out of Tongzhou City overnight, and ordered fifty captains to the Mongolian army camp, and went straight to Xuzhou in the starry night. Lu Qian looked at the backs of the people in the winter snow and was silent for a long time. You followed and stepped forward and said, "Master." We should be on our way, too! I don't know what is going on in the city?"
Lu Qian sighed and turned on his horse. He glanced back at the direction where Dongxue had gone, and muttered: "The eventful autumn sees the truth, and the difficulties urge people to grow old, Ren Jiabao is destined to not be calm!"
Lu Qian's worries are not unreasonable, Dongxue's achievements in Yangzhou City are obvious to all; as soon as the county lord comes back, he will step on Zhujiazhuang with the momentum of thunder and do something that everyone is afraid of and dare not do, and he is the domineering of the head of the family; and the Oriental girl is a hoe for Renjiabao, and she can't be slacked off, how can these many women get along calmly and calmly!
Everyone only knew that the general Ren Tianqi was injured and did not know the trace, so the hall proposed to appoint a temporary general to temporarily take charge of the whole army, but unexpectedly there were three opinions: one faction advocated the establishment of Dongxue as the general king, assisted by Wen Tingyu and Ren Songyi, and won the support of the old departments and all civilian officials; one faction advocated the establishment of a little red as the general king, so the behavior of using a little red in the north was remarkable, and all the generals obeyed, which was quite supported by the young Zhuang faction in the army; and the other faction advocated the establishment of the old general Ren Songyi as the temporary acting general, because the veteran general guarded the Huai River crossing meritorious, strategic, and steady, and was safe and solid。 The three factions quarreled.
In fact, the essence of the matter was the struggle for the power of military control over the Xuzhou soldiers, arguing whether the Xuzhou soldiers should still be controlled by the people of Renjiabao; this incident should not have happened, but those generals who followed the little red expedition did not get a big promotion and were dissatisfied. And a little red because Lin'an gave the Xuzhou soldiers three generals the title of a general king, Ying Yuan Wen and the three equal division of the three generals are still not divided up and down and have no subordination, he Wen Tingyu actually fell worse than Tianqi when he was at home, his former general, now he can not control the British power and Yuan Ren, let alone be able to command the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou and Tongzhou; he is very unconvinced, it seems that he has other intentions, so he pretended to stay out of the matter and did not come out to make a clear statement and restrain the troops, and the result is that the Xuzhou soldiers fall apart The trend has an irrepressible tendency to expand。
Dongfang Bai and a few girls in Yangzhou City were furious when they saw that the situation was not good, and they said in their hearts that the Xuzhou soldiers were brought up by Tianqi Ye, and whoever sat in Renjiabao would not be able to sit in the position of the general and the king would not be able to sit in his turn to sit a little red, why did he Wen Tingyu bully Renjiabao Now that there is no capable person, he does not want to take advantage, how can there be such a good thing in the world;
Dongxue and Lu Qian stopped him when they heard the news.
Lu Qian hurriedly invited Dong Xue to a quiet place, and said: "Brother and sister, as you wish, our Tianqi Xian brother is now regarded as life and death unknown, but this army can't be leaderless for a day, after a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the people below who will be separated from Germany and go their separate ways, and the position of the general king cannot be idle for a day!" The matter of fighting for the throne should have been impossible, this Xuzhou Ying is upright and upright, and he and Tianqi sympathize, and his thinking of Tianqi's recommendation will not win the post of the general king; Tongzhou Yuan General came to Yangzhou this time to take up his post, which is to be respectful to you, showing the distinction between the monarch and the minister, the master and the servant, the eldest brother, I can see that he is loyal to your younger brother and sister, and the younger brother and sister you sit in Yangzhou one day, he should not be disagreeable! Now it is our own brother who makes us not very relieved! Your second brother Wen has been selfish lately, and he has forgotten where he should be. The county lord and a few of you have a gap and refuse to come to Yangzhou, whether it is the general's mansion or Juxianzhuang, now you are left with a backbone. If someone else has a different heart, he can get rid of it without much effort. But now it's your second brother Wen who is selfish, and you can't think of the worst if you don't go that far, we still have to take care of the eyes of the generals in the army and the people of the world in this eventful season!"
Lu Qian paused and said, "And the matter of Tianqi can't be hidden for too long, the people of the world will know about it sooner or later, and we have to think about it as soon as possible!"
Dong Xue smiled bitterly: "What the eldest brother said is, what good and feasible methods do you have? Things have to be done one by one, and our master's affairs are not in a hurry at this moment!"
Lu Qian nodded, hesitated for a long time, and then hesitated: "As a big brother, I shouldn't have provoked the friendship of my brothers, and I really can't open this mouth, and before I open my mouth, my eldest brother himself feels ashamed and panicked!"
Lu Qian gritted his teeth and said with a red face: "Now the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, and I have no way to do it, big brother! Hey, as far as I know, eldest brother, your second brother Wen has a unique love for you, maybe only you will listen to him; of course, we are also giving your second brother Wen a chance, if your younger brother and sister are unwilling or your second brother Wen is still obsessed, we can only tear our faces......"
Dong Xue blushed and said with a smile: "How can Second Brother Wen have this thought?" Hey, eldest brother, you don't have to blame yourself, regardless of whether it is effective or not, I am willing to persuade my brother and sister." According to the eldest brother, who should be appointed as the general king?"
Lu Qian said: "Of course it's you!"
Dongxue was startled and said, "Or stand me?"
A person outside the door smiled and said, "If you don't stand up, who should you stand?"
Dong Xue and Lu Qian were stunned for a moment, and when they looked up, they saw that it was the general Ren Tianqi who had returned.
Dongxue was happy and cried, Lu Qian also had tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, it's good that you're back, brother, if you don't come back, there will really be a big incident in this family!"
Ren Tianqi turned around and closed the door and walked quickly to the inner room.
Dongxue Luqian followed.
As soon as Ren Tianqi turned around, he took off the mask on his face and turned out to be Xiao Sangong Ming. (To be continued......)
