Chapter 17 Begins
Wen Bufan looked at Tao Zijie and said, "What Master Tao said is extremely true, and I will consider this point carefully." ”
After Tao Zijie and the others left, Wen Bufan returned to the harem, where the Holy Maiden Xiyue and Isabel sat there, looking at Wen Bufan who walked in, and the Holy Maiden Xiyue said, "How is it?" ”
"Tao Zijie brought up the matter of Xichiguo." Wen Bufan said.
"Gallop West?" The Holy Maiden Xiyue said, "He means Sui Shang and them. ”
Wen Bufan nodded.
"Sui Shang, after the last crusade against the Northern Hu Kingdom, he only transferred Song Wan and Sun Qian to the south to serve, and Sui Shang is still stationed in the north of the original Xichi Kingdom, with heavy troops." Saint Xiyue said.
After the end of the last Northern Hu War. Song Wan and Sun Qian were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they were both sealed and sent to the south to serve. Sui Shang remained at the border. Although the deputy generals around Sui Shang are no longer the generals of the original Xichi Kingdom, the military power is still in the hands of Sui Shang.
"What do you think?" Wen Bufan looked at the Holy Maiden Xiyue and asked.
"It's indispensable to guard against people." Saint Xiyue said.
To be honest, Wen Bufan didn't know much about Sui Shang. This man is a good fighter, but what will happen to him if this time the Western Fortune Kingdom also joins the ranks of the rebellion?
"To be on the safe side, call him back first!" Wen Bufan said.
"But it's too late." Saint Xiyue said.
"It doesn't matter! As long as he is willing to come back, we are relieved! Besides, haven't those princes and nobles of the Western Chi Kingdom already begun to march towards Donglai City? I don't think the Coach will join this rebellion! Wen Bufan said.
"Over the years, the princes and nobles of Xichi Kingdom have come to Donglai Kingdom every year to worship, and they are very pious. They probably won't join. The Holy Maiden Xiyue said.
Wen Bufan looked at the Holy Maiden Xiyue and said, "If you have confidence, there is no need for us to recall Sui Shang." ”
"I'm confident!" Saint Xiyue said.
"Okay, just give Sui Shang an order, tell him that there has been an abnormal movement in the Beihu Kingdom recently, and let him lead the troops to the south of the Gudra Desert and guard the border with Feng Yong!" Wen Bufan said.
Sui Shang's army is still stationed in the area of Xiyuguan, and Sui Shang has also felt some changes in the past few days. Originally, I wanted to report the situation here to Donglai City, but before I could do it, the royal decree of Donglai City had already arrived.
After Sui Shang received the Wang Shu, when he saw it, he thought that he would be transferred elsewhere, but he didn't expect that the order he received was to lead his headquarters to the southern part of the Gudra Desert for garrison!
Sui Shang sent the envoy away, thinking in his heart, it seems that Donglai City still trusts him.
"Dashuai, what does this king say in the book?" Sui Shang's staff Ouyang Shan asked.
Sui Shang handed the Wang Shu to Ouyang Shan and said, "Let me lead my troops north!" ”
"Oh?" Ouyang Shan took the letter, read it and said, "You didn't transfer the handsome man?" It seems that this king's bearing is indeed extraordinary! ”
"yes!" Sui Shang said.
"How are you going to go?" Ouyang Shan asked.
"Naturally, I'm ready to wave my troops north!" Sui Shang said: "Sir, do you think it's impossible to reconcile? ”
"Yes, the handsome man is so the best. The king asked the marshal to go north, also to protect the marshal! Ouyang Shan said.
"Oh, why does the gentleman say that?" Sui Shang asked.
"Going north to fight against the Northern Hu State is a matter within the responsibility of the commander. If you leave the land of right and wrong, even if there is something, no one will find the handsome. Ouyang Shan said.
"What do you mean, sir?" Sui Shang asked.
"I always felt that this matter was not that simple!" Ouyang Shan said.
"No matter what happens here, we can naturally stay away from right and wrong when we fight against Beihu in the north, but what if Donglai City wants us to be escorted by King Qin?" Sui Shang asked.
"It's better not to move!" Ouyang Shan said: "I see that the king's book says that the main area of Dashuai's defense is the west side, even if the royal city is lost, the one who goes back to King Qin is the nearest Feng Yong. And our mission is to stop the Northern Hu Kingdom from going south! So unless it is the king's decree that he wants to be handsome and diligent, it is best not to move! ”
"That's it! Inform you to go down and set off on the same day to go to the Great Desert of Gudra! Sui Shang said.
"How's the preparation going?" It was still in the thatched hut in that valley, but this time there were only two people inside, Situ Tong and Ran Qingyuan.
"Lord Duan's side is ready, and the troops will start on time tomorrow!" Ran Qingyuan said.
"Good! You go back and tell Duan Wang Ye that you will act according to the plan tomorrow! Situ Tong said.
It was getting dark.
In Donglai City, Li Dakui had not yet fallen asleep, standing in the courtyard and looking ahead.
"It's so late, let's go back to sleep." Madame Li came over, took a cloak from the maid's hand, and put it on Li Dakui.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, ma'am, and rest in peace soon." Li Dakui said.
"Anything else?" Mrs. Lee's tone was full of concern.
"It's okay! Don't worry, they're all little thieves! Li Dakui said with a smile.
"Then you have to be careful, besides, it's all old husbands and wives, if it's some little thieves, how can you make a move." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Li Dakui looked at his wife and said, "The royal city here, the king has been here for the past few days, so I have to be extra careful!" ”
"I see." Mrs. Li said.
At this moment, an arrow suddenly shot out of Donglai City.
"All right, ma'am, go back to sleep! Go and come back for your husband. Li Dakui said and walked outside.
"You have to be careful!" Mrs. Li said.
"Don't worry!" Li Dakui went out and led the crowd to ride away.
"General! Those places were all surrounded by us, and a team of 100 people actually infiltrated the palace! But it's also controlled by our people. Zhonglang Jiang Lin said.
"What? Someone infiltrated the royal city? Li Dakui said in surprise.
"Yes!" Jiang Lin said.
"Let's take a look! How's going on over there in the temple of the Holy Maiden? Li Dakui asked.
"No one has shown up yet!" Jiang Lin said.
"No matter whether anyone passes over or not, the people who are defending there can't be withdrawn." Li Dakui said.
"Yes!"
When Li Dakui and Jiang Lin came to the royal city, the battle here was already over.
Li Dakui saw Wen Bufan, hurriedly ran over, knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general is not effective in guarding, please punish the king!" ”
Wen Bufan glanced at Li Dakui and said, "Get up!" I'm not lazy about this, I haven't lived in the royal city for a long time, and the people here are naturally a little mixed, so it's okay to interrogate these people well and find out all the servants who are connected with them here! ”
"Yes!" Li Dakui glanced at the captured assassins and said to his subordinates: "Take them all!" ”
