Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 387 Turning Moment 6
"Is it okay to let the captives cross the river and plunder my land in the west of the capital?" Wang Xiu's voice became a little more serious, and the murderous intent in her tone became more intense, while Feng Yuan and Xu Zhong held their battles tightly, ready to explode at any time.

Qin Liang glanced at Wang Xiu and said in shock, "My lord, what should I do?"

"Xuanfu is doing nothing, and he is guarding himself. What do you think is the best way to do it now?" Wang Xiu said calmly.

"What do you want, my lord? Do you want me to betray the emperor?" A hoarse voice came, almost annoyed.

Wang Xiu glanced at the general who was about forty years old in the first year on the right, but it was He Zhengtao, his eyes were red, and he said sharply: "Your Excellency should persuade Xuan Fu, how can you have the heart to replace us, we, the court generals, cannot be driven by adults. "

Zhang Changning and Qin Liang looked at Wang Xiu together, more or less having the same thoughts as He Zhengtao, but they didn't say it out loud.

He Zhengtao spoke first, and while they breathed a sigh of relief, they all waited for Wang Xiu's answer.

Wang Xiu knew very well that when people's hearts were in turmoil, He Zhengtao would suddenly attack. If he didn't handle it well, his plan might go to waste.Even if he stops here, it will be a big blow to him. He will be denounced afterwards, and his reputation will be ruined, and he will not be able to stand up. No matter what he says, he has no way out, and his face turns pale. At this moment, more than a thousand thoughts flashed indivual.

At this time, Feng Yuan was already holding the handle of the knife, and when everyone was focusing on Wang Xiu, he quietly turned behind the generals, and fixed his eyes on He Zhengtao.

From the corner of Wang Xiu's eyes, seeing Feng Yuan's murderous expression, he sighed secretly. It seems that today he can only temporarily stabilize the tense situation by killing and doing extraordinary things. Can accomplish great things?
Slowly stretching his face, staring at Qin Liang with a smile on his face, he said calmly: "The captives are about to cross the river, if you don't come forward, you will be treason."

He Zhengtao didn't want Wang Xiu to retort, alienate the generals, and isolate him. He said in panic, "What's the meaning of your lord's words? Your lord is the commander of the road, and he will be a subordinate at the end, but he can't be insulted like this." After finishing speaking, he loudly Said: "Since this is the case, the general will go back to the stronghold to set up defenses, so I won't disturb your lord's elegance."

Just as he finished speaking, his expression changed, his eyes were full of confusion, half of the sword blade was exposed on his chest, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Changning and Qin Liang were shocked, and they looked sideways in surprise, but they saw Feng Yuan standing behind He Zhengtao, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Unaware of He Zhengtao and others, he pierced through the opponent's back without hesitation, ruthless and precise, the sword pierced through the heart.He Zhengtao didn't react at all, he didn't even rush to shout, and died on the spot.

Feng Yuan slowly pulled out the straight knife, blood spurted out, He Zhengtao's body immediately fell to the ground, motionless, he looked at the two of them coldly without any wink.

Zhang Changning swallowed his saliva, his eyes were terrified, and he kept saying: "My lord, how can I say this, you can't kill people." He is a veteran of the battlefield, and he was also shocked by the bloody killing that happened before his eyes. He was incoherent in shock ,do not know what to do.

Qin Liang was quite calm. Seeing Xu Zhong holding a long soldier and blocking the door of the big tent, looking like a tiger staring at him, he couldn't help taking a breath. He couldn't beat him, but he also thought that what Wang Xiu said was reasonable. I don't really want to rip my skin off.

"Put away your weapons." Wang Xiu glanced at Feng Yuan and said calmly.

Feng Yuan was also a bachelor, so he immediately wiped off the blood on the blade with He Zhengtao's clothes, put the knife back into its sheath, with a relaxed and calm expression on his face, like slaughtering a pig, and never looked at Zhang Changning and Qin Liang again.

Qin Liang rolled his eyes, as if he understood Wang Xiu's intention.Liwei, let them surrender, He Zhengtao's untimely words just became the unlucky guy. He stared at Wang Xiu, but he didn't want to be the next unlucky guy, because the large army fights, as long as the first-level general obeys the order, the effect is not too great. He is completely capable of selecting generals to replace him, but he doesn't want his subordinates to take his place. It's not easy after decades, so he immediately said in a deep voice, "My lord, what do you want? We are all generals in the west of Beijing."

After all, it was the court general who killed him, and he was also a little dissatisfied. No matter whether he obeyed or resisted, he still had to have an attitude, but the sentence of "Jingxi general" revealed his true heart.

"As the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, Zhe Yanzhi deliberately avoided the war, lost his land and lost his town, and even communicated with Nianhan letters. Now he has gathered his troops to defend himself, and obviously allowed the captives to cross the river. I will discuss with you again. Admonishment, if he doesn't listen, I will act cheaply, and I will never let the army of more than [-] crumble."

What does it mean to play cheap?It is obvious that he wants to kill Zhe Yanzhi and seize the military power of the army, but the words are more euphemistic.

Zhang Changning and Qin Liang were silent for a long time, neither of them said anything, their hearts were like a mirror, what should Wang Xiu do if he wants to seize the military power of this army?
No one is out of ideas.Wang Xiu just looked at the two of them, but Feng Yuan and Xu Zhong held a knife handle in one hand and a long soldier in the other, obviously harboring malicious intentions.

Finally, Zhang Changning let out a long sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Zhe commander avoids the battle, and orders everyone to guard their own strongholds. Once the Jin army crosses the river, my army of more than [-] will surely be defeated, and most of them will be slaughtered by the captives. For these brothers , I, Zhang Chang, would rather follow the guard system."

Zhang Changning's compromise made Wang Xiu heave a sigh of relief. Under the current situation of stalemate, the strings of both sides are tense.Once there is a small move, it is enough to affect the overall situation.

Fortunately, Zhang Changning broke the deadlock and instantly tilted the whole situation in favor of Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu nodded with a smile, and said slowly, almost word for word: "Taiwei Gaoyi!" Say it, and his eyes fell on Qin Liang again, his smile was so terrifying.

Qin Liang sighed lightly, there was nothing to do, and if he didn't speak to save face, he might become a corpse. He clasped his fists and said, "The last general is willing to swear to die by his side, and he has no second thoughts. I hope that what we do today will be worthy of the emperor and the world." Common people!" It would be of no use for me to argue any longer, thinking that although Wang Xiu's move was too much, it was still righteous.

Seeing that the two acquiesced, Wang Xiu was overjoyed. In any case, with the support of the two generals on the Northwest Road of Beijing, he could quickly annex He Zhengtao's troops. , is almost in hand.

"You two, whether today's events are in line with God's will or not, and whether it is right for the common people, it is useless to talk about it now." Wang Xiu seemed to be talking to herself. "Since you believe in me, Wang Xiu, I, Wang Xiu, can swear to you that what I do today will be recorded with righteousness in future generations, and you can also leave your name in history."

"Servant system, what should I do in the next step, please tell me." Qin Liang doesn't believe in leaving a name in history, after all, it is a very distant thing, and now he is thinking about how to take over this army smoothly, which is the most important thing matter of urgency.Now that you're on board, keep the rudder steady and don't overturn, and throw your life away.

If the imperial censor is impeached in the future, he will at most be forced to obey, and there is still a chance to make a comeback.

Qin Liang's attitude reassured Wang Xiu, after all, he was really considering the next step, and this was a clear signal of joining his camp.

Wang Xiu said indifferently: "The two of you will wait for a while, and it will not be too late to discuss later."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, a person shouted loudly, apparently guards intercepted it, which annoyed the visitor.

"Wang Yecha." Zhang Changning's complexion changed, he subconsciously glanced at He Zhengtao's body, and shivered all over.

"My lord, Yasha is extremely brave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win." Qin Liang frowned slightly, and could hardly imagine what it would be like once Wang De came in.

"Yasha is very brave!" Wang Xiu said thoughtfully, slowly: "Since Yasha is here, let him come in."

"My lord, you can't, Yasha is reckless, once he gets mad, no one can stop him." Zhang Changning turned pale with shock, and hurriedly dissuaded Wang Xiu.

"What do you say, is it possible that I beat him out with a stick?" Wang Xiu smiled lightly, as if she didn't care about Wang De.

Zhang Changning was at a loss for words, everyone is out of the tent, what else can you do?It's really not a random stick. Could it be that Wang Xiu wants to lure the opponent in and kill him?

"Wang De's eighteen riders are like Longde, and he captured the false official Yao Fan alive. He must not be brave, and the adults must not fight." Qin Liang also advised Wang Xiu, he did not want to make a noise in the camp.

Feng Yuan seemed to see Wang Xiu's thoughts, and said, "Sir, I'll invite Yasha to come in."

"Alright." Wang Xiu didn't mind the corpse on the ground, looked at Feng Yuan with a smile, and said, "Let's meet together."

Wang De came in in a hurry, and he had heard him laughing a long time ago: "The last general came uninvited, and I still hope that your lord..." Having said that, he had already entered the big tent, but saw the bloody corpse on the ground, his face froze. .

Feng Yuan stood by Wang De's side, looking relaxed and freehand, but concentrating on it, and if something went wrong, he would definitely make a sharp move.

Wang Xiu chuckled, not caring about Wang De's discoloration at all, and clasped her fists together and said, "I'm discussing with the princes in the west of Beijing. It's my honor to have Yasha come. Please take a seat."

Wang De was lying if he said he wasn't shocked, even though he was the champion of the three armies, he also knew that things were not easy, the bird discusses the matter, kills the general and returns the matter?But he is a hero after all, so he just smiled and said boldly: "It seems that someone violated the military law."

Seeing that Wang De regained his composure in an instant, Wang Xiu couldn't help but looked up at him and twitched, and said with a smile: "Staying ahead of danger and plotting to escape is a crime that cannot be punished."

"It's a major matter for the imperial court, and it's these bastards who are bad." Wang De glanced at the corpse fiercely, with a burst of anger on his face, and said resolutely: "My lord knows the art of war, and the general came to ask for advice. What should I do now? You can’t let people sit and wait.”

Wang Xiu looked highly at Wang De once again. It was a wonderful night. He didn't know many historical details, but he could be sure that Wang De's intentions for war were thicker and more detailed, and he remained unchanged in the face of danger. If you can make good use of it, you can use its prestige to win over some generals of the Western Army.

He thought for a while, and said slowly: "Xuan Fu asked all the ministries to guard the stronghold, I'm afraid I will miss the battle and cause noise from the officials."
