Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1104 Gossip
The contact on the Wusun border ended with a big victory in the Central Plains.The division of the Central Plains was so powerful that the Usun-Persian coalition forces were unable to resist, and they were defeated almost not long after holding on.

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions, who were also on the battlefield, once again saw the power of the Central Plains.That sharp cannon is so strong that it makes people desperate!
Under the leadership of the White Tiger Legion, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions also advanced into Wusun territory. Zhang Xiong was too lazy to attack some of the less important cities, so he handed them over to the Allied Forces of the Western Regions to attack.

As a vassal state, this is the time for them to contribute their efforts. Naturally, the coalition forces of all countries in the Western Regions are attacking with all their strength. In just a few days, many small cities in Wusun Kingdom were breached. For a while, the people of Wusun panicked...

Because of the White Tiger Legion pressing down on it, and Zhang Xiong's order prohibiting burning, killing and looting, the Western Regions army did not dare to do anything wrong. In this regard, even though the war in Wusun Kingdom spread and the people of Wusun were displaced, except for those who attacked the army Not many people died.

This situation is the luck of the Wusun people, and it is also the beginning of their misfortune!
Because King Wusun took advantage of the kindness of the Central Plains army, let the army pretend to be civilians, and frequently launched sneak attacks on the White Tiger Camp and the armies of various countries in the Western Regions, causing the Central Plains army to suffer a lot of losses in the war.

This situation spread to Zhang Xiong's ears, and the irritable Zhang Xiong immediately ordered that if a city is occupied, the city will be emptied immediately, and no witches will be allowed to appear.If the Wusun people don't listen, they can kill them!

After this order came out, the soldiers who had been full of grievances immediately found a way to vent their anger. They started to drive away the Wusun people, and when they met a little resistance, the soldiers began to kill.

For their own safety, killing is inevitable. Of course, there are many cases of wrong killings, but they are all when the Wusun people do not cooperate.

Wars are inherently cruel. King Wusun used civilians to attack and kill the Central Plains army, so there would no longer be a pure land in Wusun. Once the Central Plains army counterattacked, all parts of Wusun fell into massacres.

…………

Wu Shun stayed in Yunling for a while, and got a little bored, so he prepared to return to the capital.

Of course, he chose to go back, and there was a more important reason-the rumors in Kyoto that Zhang Xiong, the general who protects the country, massacred civilians in Wusun with cruel methods.

The destructive power of this kind of gossip is invisible, it must be controlled and the reason clarified, otherwise Zhang Xiong's reputation will make those who are interested in it bad.

"Your majesty, the crown prince invites you to return to the capital. It seems that someone in the capital is deliberately directing public opinion, which is extremely detrimental to the second general."

Qu A rushed over from a distance in a hurry. Obviously, he had just received an urgent report from Kyoto.

"Order the guards in black and the dark guards to investigate immediately. I want to see who is stirring up the wind and rain in the capital and what is the intention of my second brother who seriously injured me?" Wu Shun said angrily.

During the period when he was not in the capital, the capital was a bit like a "dancing demons"!All cats and dogs want to jump out to find a sense of existence.

"Reporting to the emperor, Master Jia Xu, the secret guard, has obtained some information, and we will wait for the emperor to go back to make a decision." Qu'a said.

The matter may be of great importance, Jia Xu did not ask Prince Wu Hao to come forward to deal with this matter, but had to wait for Wu Shun to return to Beijing.

After Qu A said so, Wu Shun could naturally hear some problems.Previously, the Crown Prince was not prestigious enough to deal with this matter.

…………

Wu Shun returned to Kyoto very quickly, and arrived in Kyoto in three days.In the conference hall, the crown prince Wu Hao, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Fazheng, Jia Xu and others stood out.

"Let's talk about the situation in Kyoto during this time." Wu Shun said in a relaxed tone from the chief seat.

Seeing Wu Shun's relaxed appearance, the crown prince and several ministers felt less nervous, and those who escaped thought that Wu Shun would ask some questions.

"Father, before my second uncle set out, the people in Kyoto supported the foreign war. The army won the victory in Wusun, and the hearts of the people in the capital were also excited, but... recently, some people in the capital spread unfavorable public opinion on the second uncle. .”

Wu Hao came out to report.

Some people dare to attack Zhang Xiong with the military in the Western Regions, it can be seen that there is a purpose.Wu Hao hasn't figured it out yet.

"Did your second uncle do anything outrageous in Wusun?" Wu Shun asked.

Wu Shun knew that the army from the Central Plains entered Wusun country, but he hadn't got an accurate explanation as to why Zhang Xiong was criticized.

"Father, the battle situation in Wusun is like this. At the beginning, our Central Plains army and the Western Regions allied forces only attacked the city and plundered land, and did not wantonly kill. It's just that King Wusun took advantage of our compassion and used soldiers pretending to be civilians to attack our army. The soldiers attacked and killed, and the second uncle was also furious, so he ordered to expel the Wusun people." Wu Hao will finally reveal the military situation.

"That's the reason? How can anyone not die in a war? If you dare to attack and kill our army in the Central Plains, it is a capital crime. If you kill it, you will be killed. Don't we have to feed and clothe the people of Wusun?" Wu Shun felt funny in his heart. Now it is a war. For his own safety, Zhang Xiong did nothing wrong.

"I also think that this matter is not enough to be the reason for my second uncle's criticism, but..."

"But this matter has become a trick for someone with a heart! Very good, some people don't like my protector." Wu Shun said with a smile: "Master Jia, send out elite secret guards, let me check, who has a The heart of a saint is so wide."

"The minister leads the decree!" Jia Xu hurriedly came out.

Before Wu Shun made an order, he had already started to investigate, but the public opinion led to this matter, and there was no clue to the investigation, but if the hidden guards really had to compete, they could find out with a little more effort.

"Find out this matter as soon as possible. In addition, the crown prince immediately ordered someone to post the reason why the Lord Protector ordered the expulsion of Wusun civilians, so that those who eat melons in the capital can understand clearly, and don't let others be used as gunmen." Wu Shun Said.

"The people who eat melons..."

Wu Hao didn't understand this term very well, but he couldn't ask it in public.When his father gets excited, he often pops up some fresh vocabulary, and Wu Hao is also used to it.

"I'll send someone to do it immediately!" Wu Hao said.

"Is there anything else besides this?" Wu Shun asked again.

"My Majesty, there is news from the Funan Kingdom that a Roman envoy has arrived in Funan from the sea, ready to sign a contract with us."

Zhuge Liang said.

"Contract? The Roman Empire in the west?" Wu Shun asked.

"Exactly, according to the Funan envoy, the relationship between the Roman Empire and Persia is not good." Zhuge Liang said.

"So that's how it is. I understand. Let the officials of the Ministry of Rites get ready. When the Roman envoy arrives, greet him more solemnly." Wu Shun ordered.

"Your Majesty is wise!" several people praised.

Who in the hall is not a human being? Wu Shun has already mentioned this, and they immediately guessed some of Wu Shun's thoughts.

Persia and Wusun formed an alliance to prepare for a war between Wusun and the Central Plains, so Rome saw the opportunity and deliberately traveled eastward from the sea to seek cooperation with the Central Plains.

I have to say that this is a very wise operation!
