Will Ming

Chapter 790 Good Omen

Mingzhou

Miyagi Obo

Chen Zheng of the Ministry of War and several officials hurried over. When they arrived at the gate of the imperial room, they looked at each other, and the worry in each other's eyes was extremely strong. Amidst the worry, there was even a little bit of surprise. fear.The fastest update was just half an hour ago, tens of thousands of horses suddenly appeared outside Mingzhou City, and there was no news before!

Although it was the people from Daxia who came, this unusual incident still made all the officials in the court suspicious.The emperor urgently summoned several important court officials, and the city gate of Mingzhou was closed early because of the arrival of the army.

Chen Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, demoted Dou Jiande together with Nayan and Peiju. This person was just a small official who could not stand in the court of the Sui Dynasty.In the last years of Daye, he led a member of the military department, Wailang, from the sixth-rank official position in the imperial court, and then fled with Yu Wenhuaji all the way. Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by Yanyun Army and Wagang Army one after another, and was finally seduced by Wang Bo in Weizhou Xia Jun had to surrender and was killed after the siege.But this person was a blessing in disguise, not only did not die, but he was promoted step by step.

This person followed Yu Wenhua and was promoted many times because of his cleverness. In addition, Yu Wenhua and his subordinates did not have many capable officials, so his official career was not as bumpy as the journey, and it can be regarded as skyrocketing.A small official from the sixth rank, he was promoted one after another after Yu Wenhuaji, and was promoted to be the servant of the Huangmen. In Yu Wenhuaji's subordinates, he was as important as Pei Ju.

But after Yu Wenhuaji's death, he did not follow along with his loyalty.In this troubled world, there are no loyal ministers who are loyal.Take Pei Ju as an example, he holds an important position in Yang Guang's court and is the person Yang Guang trusts most.When Yu Wenhuaji raised his troops to seek rebellion, he didn't simply surrender.Yu Wenhua was in trouble, and he surrendered to Dou Jiande without hesitation.

Assist this family today, and serve that family tomorrow.

In troubled times, such courtiers abound.Even those famous officials in the Tang Dynasty today, how many of them changed their families one after another is vivid.

Chen Zhengguan was in the military department of the Great Xia, and he held a lot of power. The military department was also a very lucrative government office, and he had enriched his own pockets in the past few years.

However, this person is very good at observing words and demeanor, and he also has a lot of experience in trying to figure out Dou Jiande's mind.So nothing went wrong, and he got along like a duck to water in the Great Xia court.

After arriving at the entrance of the imperial room, Chen Zheng exchanged glances with several close officials, then opened the door and walked in.After entering the door, Chen Zhengcai discovered that Nayan Peiju, Shang Zuopu shot Xiao Lan, Shang Youpu shot Li Hongji, the champion general Xiahou Burang and others had already arrived.

Daxia Emperor Dou Jiande sat behind the desk with a gloomy expression, and all the important ministers under him also had worried faces and said nothing.

After Chen Zheng entered the door, he first saluted Dou Jiande, and then stopped in his place.Seeing him coming in, Dou Jiande just waved his hands casually, then turned his gaze to Pei Ju and asked, "If it is true that Wu Bian brought Wang Fubao and his son back, why did he bring tens of thousands of horses with him? And Wu Bian didn't send anyone to report first. It's a little strange to say it. Do you think...whether Wang Fubao and his son forced Wu Bian to open the city gate?"

Pei Ju scolded Wang Bo in his heart, and then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is indeed possible. After all, Wang Fubao is quite prestigious in the army, and Wang Bo's taking over the camp will not be too smooth. It's just... the city wall The garrison at the top observed the flags of soldiers and horses outside the city, and there were only about ten thousand people who came... If it was really Wang Fubao who conspired against him, it seemed that he had fewer troops. + How could he trust Dajun to others?"

"It makes sense..."

Dou Jiande's brow eased, and he looked at the champion general Xiahou Burang and asked, "Have you ever gone up to the city wall to observe?"

Xiahou refused to allow him to be around 50 years old, and his prestige in the army was not very high.It's just that this person also has a good ability to flatter horses. He first established a relationship with Cao Dan, and then took the opportunity of Empress Cao's birthday to pull in this insider.In the past few years, he has filled the palace with money, but he has not paid in vain in exchange for the official position of a Mingzhou garrison general.

This person is from Guantao County, and he also served as the county magistrate in the last years of the Great Sui Dynasty.It was only later that Zhang Jin claimed that he led troops to attack Guantao, and he was the first to escape with his family after getting the news.Later, he took refuge in the great thief Sun Xuanya. Sun Xuanya fled back to Hebei after the defeat of Qi County.Later, Cheng Mingzhen handed over Mingzhou to Dou Jiande, and he became a general under Dou Jiande's command.

After Cheng Mingzhen was rescued by the people from the Yanyun Army's Military Inspection Department, he sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to the palace. Instead of being implicated by this, he was promoted from a fourth-rank general Lang to a third-rank general Wu Ben.Later, most of Xia's lieutenant generals died, and Dou Jiande promoted him to be a champion general, a famous second-rank general.

Now that the Daxia court is full of people like him and Chen Zheng, one can imagine what the Daxia court looks like.

"I went to the city to take a closer look. I saw that there were no more than [-] troops outside the city. I have already ordered the garrison to gather. Your Majesty can rest assured that even if the soldiers outside the city are really rebels, with nearly [-] elite soldiers in Mingzhou City Those rebels are just waiting to be killed!"

Dou Jiande nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I have nothing to worry about. I plan to send one of you to go outside the city to have a look. If it is true that Wu Bian returned with Wang Fubao and his son, that's all. If not... ...It is quite dangerous to go here, who among you would like to go?"

Several people looked at each other, no one was willing to do this dangerous job.Only Nayan and Pei Ju smiled, stepped forward and said, "I would like to share your majesty's worries!"

……

……

"Is your name Wu Bian?"

Outside the south gate of Mingzhou City, Wang Pao, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at the trembling eunuch Wu Bian standing beside him, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Wu Bian... the name is quite appropriate. You eunuch don't have that root." Things, I have already let your ancestors down. But what I want to tell you today is... If you dare to disobey my order, I will change your name to Wuming!"

Editor Wu trembled in fright, his face was pale without a trace of blood.The soldiers standing behind him in the costumes of the Forbidden Army were all pretended to be soldiers under Wang Pao's command.The soldier behind him held a short knife against his lower back. He had no doubt that if he said a wrong sentence, he would be stabbed to death by the short knife.

"Don't worry, great general, slaves will never dare to disobey your orders."

"That's fine."

Wang Pao nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help but move his body.The rope tied to his body was not faked at all, so he felt very uncomfortable after being strangled for so long.The person tied up in front of him was his adoptive father, the great general Wang Fubao.

When he was in the camp in Qingzhang, Wang Pao finally persuaded Wang Fubao to rebel.Dou Jiande's distrust over the past few years also gradually changed Wang Fubao's mind.And Dou Jiande sent Wang Bo into the camp to seize military power, which made Wang Fubao completely give up.It's just that he has been loyal for so many years, and it's still hard to let go at this time.

It's just that what Wang Fubao doesn't want to give up is the relationship between him and Dou Jiande, or his own loyalty. I'm afraid it's hard for him to say clearly.

In the Qingzhang camp, without consulting him, Wang Pao led troops to kill Duguxiu and the others with his own soldiers, Lieutenant Wang Qunlu. In the Qingzhang Daying camp, more than a hundred generals above the school lieutenant died.

Although Wang Fubao did not order to do this, Wang Pao still got his acquiescence in leading the massacre.After that, Wang Fubao used his cronies as generals, and the nearly 20 troops were truly in his hands.

Then, he began to wait.

Waiting for everyone to come and persuade him to rebel.

He is a loyal minister, and he has been fighting with Dou Jiande since the end of Daye.Everyone knows that he is loyal to Dou Jiande, how could he conspire against him?

When everyone came to persuade him, he was not plotting rebellion, but following the will of God and the will of the people, for the sake of the 10,000+ subordinates.

Wang Pao came up with this method of fraudulently opening the city gate of Mingzhou. Although it was a bit risky, Wang Fubao also believed that there was a possibility of success. Just like Pei Ju's analysis, he captured the 10,000+ army of the Qingzhang Camp. , how could it be easily handed over to others?At this time, the Qingzhang camp only left more than [-] people as suspect soldiers, just to hide the truth from the Yanyun army.The brigade marched back to Mingzhou one after another in the middle of the night.

Because it was withdrawing in the opposite direction, it was impossible for Yan Yunjun's scouts to easily detect it.

Now there are more than 1 people outside Mingzhou City, under the banner of [-] people.Twenty miles south of Mingzhou, one hundred thousand Xia troops were waiting in the wilderness for the signal to enter the city.Wang Fubao's mentality has changed, especially before he made the decision to rebel, a sentence Wang Pao mentioned to him made him feel even more emotional.

Both Wang Shichong and Yu Wenhuaji said this sentence.

Since a man was born in troubled times, it is good to be emperor even for a day.

The dream of being an emperor may be the greatest dream hidden in the most obscure corner of a man's heart.

All the gates of Mingzhou City were closed, and the defenders on the city wall were already in full swing.The archer has placed the quiver within easy reach of his feet, and all the arrows will be fired at a single command.Xiahou didn't let him come out of the imperial room, and rushed directly to the city wall. Looking at the people outside the city, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort of disdain.

"Your Majesty is too careful... With the tens of thousands of people outside the city, even if Wang Fubao really has a rebellious heart, can he still attack? Mingzhou City has been repaired in recent years, and the city wall has been raised by nearly a foot. If it is true If anyone dares to attack the city, the bed crossbows on the city wall are enough to shoot them into mud."

"You can't say that. Could it be that your Majesty should be more careful when the country is in great trouble."

Standing beside Xiahou Burang, Pei Ju said softly, "At this time, not to mention your Majesty, but the people in the city, who are not worried? The Yanyun thief is only seven or eight hundred miles away from the capital... At this time, there are great changes in the army. People are on the alert."

Xia Hou refused to let out a snort and said, "Your Majesty chose that idiot Wang Bo to take over the army. If it were me, there would still be so many troubles. Wouldn't it be easy to kill Wang Fubao in the camp? That would be a success." A guy who is not good enough to make things worse has never been a person who does great things."

He glanced at Pei Ju, saw that Pei Ju's face was a little unsightly, and then suddenly remembered that Wang Bo was appointed as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, and it was Pei Ju who strongly recommended him.

"Uh... I just feel that Wang Bo is taking too long to do things, but speaking of which, he has to rectify his troops, and he may still be busy in the camp at this time. If I go, I'm afraid it will be even more unpopular." No more trouble."

Xia Hou didn't let him cover up a few words quickly, but Pei Ju smiled and said, "He... who knows what he is doing in the camp now! Maybe it's drinking flower wine in the army."

Naturally, Wang Bo didn't drink flower wine, and he was racking his brains to figure out how to survive.

Ever since he was arrested by the Yanyun army scouts, he was locked in a tent and people would come to press him every day for news about Xia Jun.He has suffered a lot these days, but the people in Yan Yun's army didn't realize that he was really a big shot in the Xia Kingdom, so the matter of taking a prisoner has not been reported to His Royal Highness King Yan.

After being interrogated and tortured for more than ten days, the people of Yan Yunjun couldn't ask any questions, so they simply pulled him out and chopped him up. When he walked out of the big tent, Wang Bo happened to see him not far away in despair. Li Xian led the general past, and the guy who had experienced countless life and death struggles immediately let out an earth-shattering cry.

"King Yan! Help me!"

Li Xian was about to take his generals to meet Daxi Changru who came to transport food in person, when he heard someone yelling, he couldn't help but turn around to look, and saw a guy who had been beaten so hard that he couldn't see his shape was fighting Struggling desperately, he slightly frowned and asked Xue Wanche sideways, "Who is that man?"

Xue Wanche thought for a while and said: "It seems that I caught a secret work of Xia Jun not long ago, so it should be this person. I didn't ask anything from this person. I think he is an insignificant person, so I didn't report to you."

Li Xian nodded, walked over slowly, and after a long time of identification, he realized that the person who fell at his feet and begged turned out to be Zhishiro, who was once famous on the Green Forest Road.

"Your Highness... It's because of our old acquaintance, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Wang Bo hugged Li Xian's boots, crying with snot and tears.

"Tomoshiro?"

Li Xian couldn't help but shook his head, squatted down and looked at Wang Bo's dirty face, smiled and said in a very soft voice: "You and I have not seen each other for many years, I heard that you got a high-ranking official under Dou Jiande, and you have been alone forever." I'm happy for you... I never thought we'd meet again, but you're so downcast just to make Gu happy. You're so considerate. Tomoshiro... You're really a lucky star in Gu's life. It seems that the destruction of Hebei is considered a success this time. .”

"Why did His Royal Highness Yan make such a statement?"

Wang Bo asked subconsciously.

Li Xian smiled and said earnestly: "Since I went down to the south, I seem to see you once... I won a big victory once. It's a good sign, it's really a good sign."
