Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 292 Victory is in sight
The Blackwater Camp is full of military tents, with a few candles lighting up the reflections on the tents.

In the central tent, Wen Yuanming sat stroking his beard, with a smile on his old face.

In a big battle during the day, Xun Shaoyu killed Xuanhou and Wuheng, and Wen Yuanming killed Gou Jie.After losing the suppression of the three major barbarian leaders, the hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers, except for the direct descendants of the three major tribes, almost collapsed at the first touch.

More than [-] armored soldiers drove away the fleeing barbarians and fought for a hundred and fifty miles. The blood stained the entire abyss with a layer of fishy red.

"Young Master waded far into the abyss, killed two barbarians and became famous in the world. Since then, he has caused a sensation in both the government and the public. I would like to congratulate him here."

The old master slightly cupped his hands towards Xun Shaoyu and said softly: "Young Master Yu governed Shangcai, opened up the vast wilderness, and his achievements will be remembered for thousands of years. He is a capable minister in governing the world!"

"The old master's praise is too great. Shao Yu was born as the son of Lu Guo. He should put the interests of the country first and his own interests first. First there is a big country, then there is a small family." The leader on the right side of the commander's position. , Xun Shaoyu was sitting on a chair, holding a sapphire tea cup, his fingertips touching the cup body from time to time, the look between his brows and eyes was indifferent, he was dressed in plain clothes with a jade crown, surrounded by a jade belt around his waist, and his behavior was firm and measured.

Regarding Xun Shaoyu's humble words, Wen Yuanming just smiled lightly and remained non-committal.

After all, Wen Yuanming saw Xun Shaoyu's actions of occupying the east, west, north, and three lands and forcibly integrating Shangcai with his own eyes, and also remembered them in his heart.

Although Wen Yuanming promised Xun Shaoyu to take the position of Doctor Cai, he only allowed Xun Shaoyu, an ambitious man, to sit firmly on the southern border of Lu State. Wen Yuanming felt extremely uneasy.

Once Lu Du changes, Xun Shaoyu will be a big problem.

Moreover, Xun Shaoyu’s ambition is not just that!

Occupying the land of Shangcai, Xun Shaoyu trained [-] elite soldiers, with more than a hundred generals under his command, and dozens of innate generals to assist in military affairs. The speed of expansion of his own power and strength was simply unbelievable.

Especially now, Xun Shaoyu has the power to kill two barbarians, and a great master who has become a saint in the physical body is sitting in charge. Which of the feudal officials around Shangcai dares to tease Xun Shaoyu's tiger beard.

At this time, Xun Shaoyu was already one of the powerful factions in Lu State and could no longer be ignored.

In particular, after a year of depletion of the Lu State's national strength, it can be said that the army is exhausted and the people are exhausted. The internal emptiness will inevitably attract others to spy.In such a situation, the Lu State must unite from top to bottom in order to cope with the possible attacks from Zheng and Song.

Therefore, Shang Cai's power cannot be ignored. Regarding his attitude towards Xun Shaoyu, Wen Yuanming already had several plans in mind.It's just that these plans are necessary compromises made when the situation gets out of control.

Hearing that Yuanming's mind was secretly changing, he said without any emotion on his face, "Well, what a good man to have a country first and then a family... I think the prince will be very relieved to have such an idea!"

Xun Shaoyu smiled lightly and said: "I just did my best. The old master doesn't need to worry about it like this."

Hearing that Yuanming slapped the case, he sighed: "It is a great blessing for the country to have a son like this!"

"The prince will not turn a blind eye to the great achievements that the young master has made. If the young master returns to Yeting this time, he will probably be ranked as a high official."

As soon as the old master's words came out, Xun Shaoyu instinctively frowned and the smile on his lips faded slightly.

The meaning behind these words made Xun Shaoyu suddenly startled.

Intentional!

No intention!

Or make the tiger leave the mountain!

All kinds of thoughts passed through Xun Shaoyu's mind one by one. This land thousands of miles away from Shangcai was already managed by Xun Shaoyu like an iron bucket, which could not be penetrated by needles or poured by water.

Xun Shaoyu had already made a lot of promises in Shangcai, and sometimes even the edicts and orders issued by Marquis Wen were not as useful as Xun Shaoyu's words.

In this way, the land of Shangcai is Xun Shaoyu's foundation and his lifeblood.If Xun Shaoyu really takes over the position of Shang Yeting, he will inevitably lose control of Shangcai.The land of Shangcai will continue to be divided into four parts, and it will be difficult to regain its dominance over thousands of miles of territory and gaze upon thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

With his cultivation level of physical sainthood, his own safety is certainly not in danger, but without the power of Shang Cai, he will no longer be able to affect the situation of Lu State.

After all, when external pressure has disappeared and there are only internal disputes, Xun Shaoyu's sudden rise in Shangcai will inevitably make people uneasy, and some targets will follow.

Xun Shaoyu opened and closed his eyes, the emotion in his eyebrows was weak, and he said softly: "Old Master, it's too early to say this!"

"Shaoyu is in charge of the southern border. There are still hundreds of thousands of barbarians who need to be driven out one by one. If these barbarians gather together, they will be another big disaster."

Once the hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers were defeated, the heavy stone that was pressing down on Shangcai had been quietly removed.At this time, it is time for Shangcai to develop vigorously. Whether it is taking the opportunity to tame the barbarians, expand the [Giant God Soldiers] establishment, or open up the barbarian land, and recruit other refugees from Guishou, it is a golden opportunity.

At this critical moment, it is simply ridiculous to ask Xun Shaoyu to put down what he is doing just for the sake of a superficial doctorate position!
Xun Shaoyu's hard work for several years was not just to gain a useless reputation, nor was he thinking about making wedding clothes for others. All he wanted was more.

"Hundreds of thousands of barbarians are scattered below the south bank of the Yuanshui. Hundreds or thousands of barbarians are scattered. If we want to clear them out one by one, it will take a lot of effort."

He slowly took a sip of tea, brushed the tea residue on the rim of the cup, and pointed out something: "If Lu Guo was a big ship, I was born to be a part of the ship. Seeing that the bottom of the ship is leaking, If I don’t fill it in, who will fill it in?”

Wen Yuanming's face darkened slightly and said, "In that case, what do you mean, Master?"

Although Xun Shaoyu said it lightly, the old master didn't think more about it.Now that things are changing day by day, the serious trouble has been eliminated, but with the momentum of the barbaric trouble, Xun Shaoyu's strength is not what it used to be.As time goes by, Xun Shaoyu may not become a problem for Lu Guo.

"Old Master, you also know that the situation in Shangcai is in chaos, with all kinds of ghosts, ghosts and snakes appearing in it, and there are also countless black hands secretly watching this territory. Except for me, a bastard, the entire Lu Kingdom Is there a more suitable candidate than me to replace me in town?" Xun Shaoyu said calmly and quietly.

As if weighing the pros and cons, Wen Yuanming pondered for a while and said: "Then, this fertile land of Cai Qianli, I just hope that the young master can calm down."

Although the old master didn't want to see Xun Shaoyu sitting in power, the situation had to be like this, so he had no choice but to let Xun Shaoyu sit.

At this moment, Xun Shaoyu's attitude clearly showed his intentions. If the old master continued to 'force' more, it would only end in vain.

Unity will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. This is extremely inconsistent with the national interests, so the old master had to reluctantly admit that Xun Shaoyu belonged to Shangcai.

"old man!"

Xun Shaoyu glanced at Wen Yuanming's third third eye and snorted dissatisfied.

It's his, no one can touch it, just touch it, he doesn't allow anyone to dare.

…………

On the other side of the Blackwater Camp, camps stood tall and battle flags were flying!
This is the new camp of the [Wu Hui Jin Soldiers]. These elites from hundreds of battles simply built this barracks by taking advantage of the barbarian's dilapidated camp structure.

In the main tent, Xun Shaoyu, with a sneer on his face, tapped the koan with his fingers, and the rhythmic tapping sound lingered in the big tent.

Dozens of innate generals stood guard on the left and right, looking at their lord's expression, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Zhu Yuxing said in a deep voice: "My Lord, his complexion has not been very good since he returned from the old master's place. But... is there anything wrong with the old master?"

"inappropriate?"

Xun Shaoyu smiled coldly: "Hehe... The old master tried to break the contract. Is this considered inappropriate?"

"What?" The expressions of several grumpy generals suddenly changed, and they said anxiously: "Damn it, my lord...that old guy dared to break the contract, and I led my troops to crush his camp."

In this Yuanshui battle, the armor was extremely damaged. The [-] armored soldiers were short of more than [-] men. Shangcai Yuanqi also suffered heavy losses.

"That's unreasonable, my lord... that old guy didn't keep his word. Let's just fight back and devour these [Black Water Warriors] in one go."

With the audacity of a general, it was beyond Xun Shaoyu's imagination, and he even had the idea of ​​​​the top elite of Lu State.

Of course, Xun Shaoyu would not adopt these whimsical suggestions.

Xun Shaoyu looked impatient and said: "Okay, what are you talking nonsense about? The old master has been through four dynasties and is a rare veteran minister. When addressing you, you should use honorifics."

"promise!"

The generals in the tent agreed solemnly and bowed to their superiors.

"Master, the old lady is loyal and upright, and her words are known all over the world. It should be impossible for her to suddenly go back on her words, right?" Chang Yunguang whispered to himself.

There were few people in Lu State who didn't know the character of the old master. He was loyal and upright throughout his life. Chang Yunguang didn't believe that the old master would leave a stain on him.

Xun Shaoyu shook his head and said: "Wen Yuanming just didn't want to see Shangcai become too powerful and threaten the centralization of power, so he planned to curb Shangcai's expansion."

"Furthermore, in this Yuanshui battle, our strength has been undoubtedly exposed, which naturally makes the old master wary."

There is another sentence that Xun Shaoyu did not say.Ever since the ancient Wu Hui clan appeared in shock, he was the last person that the ancient Wu Hui clan had seen.The inexplicable number of gazes paying attention to him made Xun Shaoyu feel more and more pressure day by day.

Only after waiting for these powerful people to analyze the last breath of the powerful people, will they abandon this attention.Otherwise, with so many powerful people watching, it would be too much for anyone.

"My lord, even the old master wants you to return to Yeting, cut off your wings, and restrain you in Yeting. This shows what the attitude of Yeting will be."

Shangyang Chao said: "The position of Doctor Shangcai may have to go through some twists and turns before it can fall into the hands of the Lord."

"There are some twists and turns?" Xun Shaoyu glanced at Shang Yang Chao approvingly and said, "It's not like that. Even though the old master doesn't want us to grow stronger, the general trend is like this. There should be concessions. The old master doesn't know about it. Let’s give it.”

"I also made a three-part agreement with the old master before the old master really agreed to our recruitment and training."

The so-called three-chapter agreement is just a verbal promise.

"As the saying goes, politics is all dirty. Either you compromise or you are compromised. The old master is a veteran of four dynasties, so he will not understand this truth."

Needing and being needed are always just a matter of a moment. After hundreds of thousands of barbarians were defeated, Xun Shaoyu became the largest entrenched force and naturally fell into the eyes of the old master.

…………

In the commander's tent, Wen Yuanming was sitting on the commander's seat, holding a talisman pen in his hand, and the tip of the pen was filled with light.

There is a piece of cloth spread on the antique koan, and the old master's pen is swaying on the cloth like a dragon and a snake.

Si Ziqi watched Wen Yuanming writing and writing, his expression clear and he hesitated to speak.

"Father, once Young Master Shaoyu masters the famous weapon of the doctor, Qianli Shangcai will become his private territory. However, with Young Master Shaoyu's scheming city, I am afraid that Shangcai will not be able to satisfy his appetite and will inevitably expand to the surrounding areas. "

"The surrounding area has just experienced barbarian chaos, and it is a time when people are in panic. The young master has the status of a prince's heir. With a single call, the people who respond can gather together and collect all these thousands of miles."

"From this point of view, the three chapters of your agreement are just a piece of paper. With the temperament of Young Master Shaoyu, how can you follow it calmly?"

Hearing this, Wen Yuanming smiled and shook his head, and said: "Ziqi, in front of Young Master Shaoyu, there are a lot of temptations. The so-called three-chapter agreement is just a superficial effort, and it won't do much in reality. role."

"Just seeing Xun Shaoyu's power expand so quickly, the old man had to draw a red line for them, lest they hurt others and themselves."

"Hey...I was eager to defeat the barbarians, so I recommended Xun Shaoyu to the prince Shangshu, and temporarily served as the doctor of Shangcai. Now that the barbarians were defeated, I looked back at Xun Shaoyu and realized that he had fully accepted the territory occupied by the barbarians. ?”

"The power is expanding too fast, which is not a good thing. In the past dynasties of the Xun family, the strong have been superior to the weak. The Xun family of this generation are all great people, and they are constantly at odds with each other. In today's situation Now, Xun Shaoyu has suddenly emerged, and he is bound to be the target of public criticism."

"At this sensitive moment, even if my words are entirely public-minded, they must be deliberately bent."

Wen Yuanming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and gently drew runes on the silk with the talisman pen in his hand.

Si Ziqi said in disbelief: "Father, are you trying to clarify yourself to the ministers of the court?"

"It can't be called a clarification. It's just that seeing that the local power has become stronger and that a young master is born, it will inevitably be a hidden danger of future unrest, so I will suppress it to avoid completely losing the reins when the situation becomes difficult to control."

"The affairs in the court are a mess and extremely annoying, but it also makes people have to do it." Wen Yuanming's third third eye seemed to be closed, and there was a faint golden thread flowing,

"Pass this message, sort out the military resources, and return to the court in three days!"
