Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 317 Returning to Xianyang with full rank (2)

Mr. Han Da became thinner and thinner.The light was like a bean, and he stared blankly at the flickering light, the sunken shadow on his cheek was very obvious.Those who didn't know it thought it was the result of Mr. Han Da's party members being purged by the Han army commander's mansion, but they didn't know that the dignified Mr. Han Da was tortured by another identity of his.Based on the Han army's hatred for the Khitan people, regardless of whether he has defected to the Liao Kingdom or not, as long as Yelu Dashi publicizes his identity as the Yelu royal family, except for a very few loyal confidants, Mr. Han Da will immediately be rejected by his former friends. Spoiled, ruined, forever lost.

In the past few months, Han Kuang has become more and more reclusive, and only lights a small lamp when he is in the tent.Instead, the dim light of the fire attracted many tiny mosquitoes to dance around the flames. Suddenly, a small insect flew into the flame, and was burnt and burst instantly, turning into a ball of light.In the extremely quiet tent, there was a soft "pop".

His eyelids twitched, Han Kuang seemed to have been awakened, his cheeks flushed slightly, he took a deep breath, put the paper roll into the reed tube, Shi Shiran stood up, handed the reed tube to his confidant at the door, and then Go straight to find Wan Yan Zongbi.All of Wanyan Zongbi's soldiers knew Han Kuang, and he didn't need to be familiar with it to enter the account.

Wanyan Zongbi was listless, when he saw Han Kuang coming in, he still stood up and saluted, "What's the matter with Mr. Han?"

Mr. Han Da knew the reason why Wanyan Zongbi was so listless.In the past, Zhu Bo Ji Lie could still stand against the courts, but since Wan Yan Aguda proclaimed himself emperor, there have been divisions between monarchs and ministers.The emperor's authority is growing day by day, it would be strange if Wanyan Zongbi had no desire to covet it.Even the first emperor, Aguda, had the idea of ​​passing the throne to his son, but the younger brother Dabo Jilie had a lot of wings, and Wanyan Aguda died suddenly before he could make arrangements.Wanyan Zongbi's original hopes were completely shattered. Except for Wanyan Wu begging to buy, other uncles and dignitaries, such as Wanyan Cibushu, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Pujia slave, etc. Lie is much more powerful than Wanyan Aguda's sons, so what will he use to compete for the big position?

"The fourth prince doesn't care about Han, and Han also asked the fourth prince, in the current situation, if you fight, you will be the king, and if you are the female, what will the fourth prince want to do?" Han Kuang smiled slightly, but what he said was shocking. words come.

Wanyan Zongbi froze as if struck by lightning, stared at Mr. Han Da for a while, then smiled wryly: "Mr., you are joking. Zongbi's foundation is shallow, so what can he fight for?" A glass of spirits, all in one gulp.The Jurchens have lived in a place of bitter cold for a long time, and all of them are addicted to alcohol.Wanyan Zongbi once wrote a letter to Aguda, in order to save food and support soldiers and civilians, unless it was a major ceremony and banquet, all dignitaries were prohibited from drinking alcohol privately, but now that the general trend is over, he doesn't care about that much.

"In the past when the first emperor went on tour, Han Gaozu boldly said that a man should be like this, and he is just a pavilion leader. The status and status of the four princes are completely different from those of Han Gao, so why underestimate yourself. Heroes in the world can compete as much as they can, and go first Those who are late control others, and those who are late are controlled by others. If the four princes are wasted in vain, sitting in a city of sorrow, and the time is gone, it will never come again, but it will be too late to regret it!"

His tone was calm at the beginning, then became more and more forceful, and then turned out to be stern.Wanyan Zongbi bowed his head and said nothing, his eyes opened wider and wider, showing a strong unwillingness, and finally raised his head, with a face full of embarrassment, and said: "Mr. Han taught you a lesson." He paused and stood up. Standing up, he bowed to Han Kuang and asked, "Zhu Bo is extremely powerful now, and Zong Bi is weak, though he is the prince. How should he rise up? Please teach me, sir." The planning is all aimed at how to stand out among the princes of Wanyan Aguda.Unexpectedly, when there is no holiday and the princes are fledgling, Wanyan Aguda will pass away, and Wanyan Zongbi loses his mind immediately.

This questioning and stratagem is full of etiquette in the Central Plains.Han Kuang sighed in his heart, the fourth prince has both talents in civil and military affairs, and also respects Han, he is a master worthy of help, but unfortunately I have my own difficulties, but I am sorry.His eyes moved slightly, carefully hiding a trace of pity, and slowly said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, the late emperor died suddenly, Han asked the fourth prince, if the late emperor did not die in the army, but In Ningjiang Prefecture, who will inherit the throne?"

Wanyan Zongbi said dejectedly: "If it's Wu's begging to buy a big penis, forget it." He was suddenly taken aback, as if realizing something, and looked at Han Kuang.

Han Kuang nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Son of heaven, strong soldiers and strong horses can do it for themselves. Although Wu Qimai has a reputation, he suffers from being separated from the army. Even if he wants to fight, he is too far away. He has more heart than strength. Speaking of it, The late emperor died suddenly in the army, the most unfavorable situation is Da Bo Ji Lie who is far away in Huanglong Mansion." A mocking smile hangs on the corner of his mouth, Wanyan Wu Qimai is a hero, there are many people in various tribes The party feathers are also well-known, but they don't have a good relationship with Han Kuang. "This time, I will let you see Han's methods."

"In terms of strength of soldiers and horses, I only have 10,000 cavalry under my command." Wan Yan Zongbi said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Among the [-]+ army in the Southern Expedition, I can't be the master."

"Among the Southern Expedition Army, the one who can take the initiative," Han Kuang poured a glass of white water with a slight smile, followed his words and said, "It's nothing more than Wanyan Cibushi and Wanyan Xieye. Although the fourth prince is weak Fight against them, but you can help one of them and strive for the greatest benefit for yourself." Speaking of this, he picked up the glass and drank the water, moistened his throat, and looked calm.

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, but there was a haze in his eyes.Wanyan Ci Bu*** is the first wave of fierceness, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, Wanyan Xie is also the second wave of fierceness, and the Deputy Capital Commander of the Southern Expedition Army, neither of which he can compete with.It's just that, just as he had aroused his ambition to fight for the big position, Mr. Han Da asked him to help others. Although he was not strong enough and had self-knowledge, he was extremely unwilling.

"Four princes, those who can bend and stretch are heroes. Why not be inferior to one today, and rank ninety-five in the future?" Han Kuang said leisurely, "The current situation is extremely fierce. Wanyan Wuqi With a solid foundation and full-fledged wings, he inherits the throne and occupies the righteousness. It is extremely difficult to recover, and it is the most detrimental to the fourth prince. The first Bo Jilie Wanyan Ci is courageous and resourceful, and he was reused by the late emperor, and his reputation is extremely high , but not the late emperor's blood brother, if he inherits the great position, he will definitely alienate from the first emperor's wife, and instead support the leader of the family, which is quite disadvantageous to the fourth prince. Only the second Bo Jilie Wanyan Xie is the late emperor's younger brother and the fourth prince's uncle. Moreover, in my view, Wan Yan Xie is a small and easy-going person who likes to profit but does not plan. He is ignorant of others' wisdom and has no self-knowledge. If you compliment him a little, he will be overjoyed, and if you persuade and support him to seize the throne, Wan Yanxie will not be suspicious, but will be overjoyed. After ascending the throne, he will definitely use the fourth prince. The fourth prince can also rely on support Gradually accumulating strength and gaining wings for the future. Now is the time for heroes to rise, and Wanyan Xie is not a weapon of the emperor, but is only temporarily guarding the throne for the four princes."

"Is it true?" Wanyan Zongbi hesitated, "Wanyan Ci is the capital of the Southern Expedition, commanding an army of 10,000+. Even if I support my fifth uncle to take the throne, the total is only 3 horses, and he is still no match for him." Said At this point, Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help sighing heavily, and he had a deeper understanding of what Mr. Han Da said just now, "He who is strong in soldiers and horses can be himself the emperor".If Wanyan Zongbi had fifty thousand cavalry instead of five thousand at this time, he would fight for the throne without hesitation.

"What's so difficult about this?" Seeing that Wanyan Zongbi was already in the game, Han Kuang smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Wanyanci still manages the army, not because of his foundation, but because of the title given to him by the late emperor. The fourth prince only needs to Offer advice to Wan Yanxie, so that Wan Yanxie also pays homage to Wanyan Ci, saying that the death of the first emperor has shaken the morale of the army, the enemy is now, the Southern Expedition Army cannot be left alone for a day, pretending to support Wanyan Ci is Du Bo Extremely fierce, but in order to convince the public, Wanyan Cibu called all the generals to determine their names. The fourth prince secretly met with the princes and nobles. , when everyone opposed Du Bo Ji Lie, they only supported the late emperor's brother, Wan Yan Xie. If he repents, he can't kill the fourth prince, all the princes of the late emperor, and Zong Han and other relatives and nobles all at once. Under the strict situation, he can only submit and admit that Wanyan Xie is also very angry. If this is the case, it will not cost a single soldier or an arrow, and the event will be settled."

Han Kuang said it lightly, but Wanyan Zongbi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his breathing gradually became faster.Based on his understanding of the powerful and important ministers of the Zhujin Kingdom, this strategy is quite feasible.If this incident is revealed, Wanyan Zongbi can completely claim that what he did was to stabilize the morale of the army, and Wanyan Xie, who is the only one who knows the truth, can neither report on him, nor can he confront himself clearly.Wanyan Ci was the most trusted by the first emperor, and he was a minister who sought the country, but no one could escape the temptation of the emperor's position, not to mention Wanyan Xie also used the excuse of stabilizing the morale of the army, which made it difficult for him to doubt it.In the eyes of the princes and dignitaries, everything Wanyan Zongbi did was just to prevent the throne from falling into the hands of Wanyanci, who was not a brother of the former emperor. The worst of the big crimes was Wanyan Xiye who was pushed in the front.

"Sir, Zong Bi is very grateful for your advice. To me, Mr. Xiao He and Zhang Liang are to Han Gaozu," Wanyan Zongbi finally suppressed his inner excitement, and said in a low voice, "Zong Bi swears to Changshengtian that if To achieve a great cause, you should worship Mr. Han as the prime minister, and you will be honored and favored forever, and you will never let him down."
