1274 Doubtful in my heart
If Wang Baoyu is here, he will definitely recognize this person, it is the Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan back then, he used the Fan sisters to calculate the failure of Zhao Yun and Wang Baoyu, led his family to flee all the way south, and finally took refuge in the Cangwu Taishou Wu Chen.
Wu Chennian was from an extraordinary background, and he was respectful, and under Zhao Fan's advice, Wu Chen took advantage of the turmoil in Jingzhou to send troops to conquer all ethnic groups in Nanyue, and finally made these barbarian peoples surrender and escape, and had a large territory and established himself as the king of Nanyue.
Zhao Fan made great contributions, so he was promoted to the post of captain of Nanyue and became a powerful arm of Wu Chen, and he served as a military advisor on this expedition.
"The king, his subordinates are unfavorable, they were captured alive by Wang Baoyu, and I beg for punishment." Ruan Xiong took a step forward, stuck Fang Tian's halberd on the ground, and bowed his knees.
"It's good for the general to come back, no need for a big gift." Wu Chen hurriedly helped Ruan Xiongqi up, but seeing that Ruan Xiongqi's body was fine, his heart fell to the ground.
"General Ruan, but surrendered that Wang Baoyu?" Military advisor Zhao Fan suddenly asked.
Ruan Xiong was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and denied in a deep voice: "Why did the Taiwei say this? Ruan would rather die in battle than take refuge in others. ”
"If you haven't surrendered, then how could Wang Baoyu put you back so lightly?" Zhao Fan asked with a cold face.
"This ......" Ruan Xiongqi was speechless for a while, his face flushed, and he said after a while: "Xu is that Wang Baoyu is kind-hearted and unwilling to win." ”
"Kind-hearted? In less than half a day, General Ruan actually looked up to Wang Baoyu so highly. Zhao Fan said coldly.
Ruan Xiongqi was very annoyed, but seeing that Wu Chen didn't speak, he gritted his teeth and said: "If the military advisor really wants to make something out of nothing, don't blame Ruan for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”
"Before the two armies, the soldiers have heard you say that if you are captured, you will surrender to Wang Baoyu, but is there such a thing?" Zhao Fan asked again.
"Reckless words cannot be taken seriously." Ruan Xiong sweated and explained embarrassedly.
"General Ruan prides himself on being a big husband, and he thinks he is a good man, how can he go back on his word and lose his trust to others?"
"This, does the military advisor have to force Ruan to surrender that Wang Baoyu to be happy?"
"Military advisor, General Ruan has been with me for many years, his loyalty can be learned, and he doesn't need to be suspicious." Wu Chen glared at Zhao Fan.
"The king, it's not that his subordinates are suspicious, the war horse brought back by General Ruan should be a thousand-mile horse, and the gem inlaid on the Fang Tian painting halberd is as big as a chicken egg, and it is even more valuable, dare to ask a defeated general, why did he receive such courtesy?" Zhao Fan asked reluctantly.
The war horse is really good, Ruan Xiongqi knows this in his heart, but what gem, he really doesn't know, and now he finds out that there is indeed a gem inlaid on his Fang Tian painting halberd, and the color is by no means an ordinary thing, but he is only to blame for being in a hurry for a while, and he didn't take a closer look.
Ruan Xiong broke down in a cold sweat, immediately kowtowed, and swore to the sky: "King, your subordinates really don't know about this, if you have the heart of betrayal, you are willing to be destroyed by heaven and earth, and you will not die well." ”
"I can trust General Ruan, please get up!"
Although Wu Chen said this, his tone was cold and reluctant, anyone could hear it, Ruan Xiongqi was even more bottomless in his heart, and repeatedly explained and emphasized: "King, if it weren't for the subordinates who were like arrows, how could they bring back such an eye-catching thing, and they would definitely be discarded in Changsha City!" ”
"I already know the general's intentions, stand down and rest!" Wu Chen was displeased in his heart, said coldly, and walked away.
Ruan Xiongqi stayed where he was for a long time, and then returned to his big tent, naturally depressed, it is not difficult to see that Wu Chentong Guò Zhao Fan has become suspicious of him, and the future will not be easy.
Sure enough, Wu Chen then took over Ruan Xiongqi's military power and handed it over to another general, and Ruan Xiongqi did not argue, the matter has come to this point, and the more it is described, it is useless to say more.
Subsequently, Wu Chen thought twice and wrote a letter to Wang Baoyu, and at the same time announced that he would withdraw the army to South Vietnam.
In the official residence of Changsha City, Wang Baoyu was chatting with Mo Qianxun, and Mo Qianxun smiled and said: "Ruan Xiongqi's return this time will definitely make Wu Chen suspicious, and he will not be reused!" ”
"It's a bit unorthodox to do this, but in order to subdue a general, it's not a bad way." Wang Baoyu nodded.
The idea of giving away BMWs and gems was exactly what Mo Qianxun came up with, and with Wang Baoyu's approval, this move really made Wu Chen suspicious, and in the future, on the battlefield, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Ruan Xiongqi's figure.
"Chihiro, did Ruoxi ask for anything?" Wang Baoyu asked.
Mo Qianxun shook his head in embarrassment and said: "It's still those previous words, the father and daughter have a thin relationship, and they have been worried for a long time. ”
At this point, no one can see that the matter is by no means as simple as Ling Ruoxi said, but because of Mo Qianxun's face, Ling Ruoxi cannot be forcibly interrogated.
As he was talking, the guards sent Wu Chen's letter, and Wang Baoyu opened it and looked at it, his brows furrowed.
Wu Chen's letter did not contain much content, to the effect that Wang Baoyu should immediately return his daughter Wu Ruoxi, if he did not agree, he would keep harassing the four southern counties, and he would never give up lightly.
Mo Qianxun read the letter, and at the same time frowned, and said sullenly: "Baoyu, if you want Jingnan to be peaceful, you must uproot Wu Chen's forces. ”
"Anyway, I want to go to the South China Sea, and it seems that I can only conquer South Vietnam." Wang Baoyu nodded, and it was not difficult to see from Mo Qianxun's words that he was protective of his little daughter-in-law.
Wu Chen's army retreated, which could have been intercepted by the armies of Lingling and Guiyang, but Wu Chen was also an army of 100,000 and could not be careless, and in the end he retreated to the territory smoothly.
It has been a few days since he came to Changsha, and on this day, Wang Baoyu bid farewell to his reluctant parents and led the army to continue south.
His younger brother Wang Baochuan asked several times to follow him to conquer South Vietnam, but Wang Baoyu did not agree, but just let him continue to stay in Changsha City and take good care of his parents.
"Brother, I made a big mistake before, I hope my brother will give me another chance to make meritorious contributions!" Wang Baochuan pleaded earnestly.
Looking at his younger brother's pitiful appearance, Wang Baoyu's heart softened, and he almost nodded in agreement, but Wang Baochuan's temperament still needed to be honed again, so he comforted: "Baochuan, I have said many times, the past is over, don't always stay in the shadow of the past." Changsha is also very important, as long as you keep Changsha, it will be a great achievement. ”
"Brother......
"My parents are getting older and older, and we both go to war, and they are not sure, so you can be filial to them instead of me." Wang Baoyu added.
Wang Baochuan didn't dare to disobey, so he could only agree unwillingly.
The army marched south unimpeded, passing through Guiyang City, Wang Baoyu went to visit Jian Yong again, the old man lived a very leisurely life, planted a lot of flowers in the official residence, and raised some birds.
