Chapter 81: All as one
Wang Xiong's voice resounded in all directions outside the city lord's mansion!
The people around him suddenly fell silent, and everyone instantly looked at Captain Pang in disgust.
Wang Xiong is qualified to preach to Captain Pang, but if it was before, what is the use of counting Captain Pang? The Oriental Palace's name only, Wang Xiong's words, have little effect. Even if it occupies morality, it will not play a big role.
Because, at that time, Wang Xiong had no power, no power, no power, and no help, and Pang Taiwei didn't have to pay attention to people's soft words.
However, today is different, there are tens of thousands of officials and people behind Wang Xiong, and the officials and people are on Wang Xiong's side, which increases the momentum of Wang Xiong's attack.
Let the original weightless words become as heavy as a thousand pounds.
In the past few days, on the one hand, Wang Xiong is hanging Pang Taiwei, and on the other hand, he is also sending the children of the Wang family to quietly enter the city to create momentum and awaken the people's old feelings for the palace.
Wang Xiong did it, and the people remembered the old love and followed Wang Xiong, which became Wang Xiong's greatest help. Even if the people don't say anything, the momentum of all people is enough to add thousands of weight to Wang Xiong's words.
Pang Taiwei looked at Wang Xiong, and then at the tens of thousands of people behind Wang Xiong, his face sank.
As the subordinate said just now, Wang Xiong came to force the palace.
If Wang Xiong came to force the palace alone, he could just say a few perfunctory words, but Wang Xiong actually brought tens of thousands of people, and even the whole city came one after another, constantly adding momentum to Wang Xiong. Help Wang Xiong force the palace.
Kinetic strength? Pang Taiwei didn't dare, after all, Wang Xiong was the king of the East, if he could directly use force, Pang Taiwei didn't have to calculate so much.
Muddle through? Originally, it was possible, but now, how can it be perfunctory when everyone is forcing the palace with one heart?
"Eight days ago, when the Red Lian Army attacked, the lower officials will naturally give an explanation to the King of the East, the King of the East, please enter the mansion, and the lower officials will explain to the King of the East!" Captain Pang invited.
Invited?
Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed, revealing a sneer.
Pang Taiwei's thoughts, how could Wang Xiong not see it? Today, he brought countless officials, soldiers, and people to here, just to put pressure on Captain Pang and force him to back down.
At this time, enter the house with him? The general trend of the people behind him is gone. How will Captain Pang compromise then?
Once he couldn't force Captain Pang to back down in one go, the momentum of the officials and people behind him would be dissipated. As soon as the anger of the people is vented, it will be in vain today, and it will become a joke.
"No need, Taiwei Pang wants to give an explanation to this king, just here!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.
Captain Pang's face sank. I don't seem to want to speak.
"Captain Pang, you were sent by the Emperor of the People to assist the Eastern Mansion in governing the fiefdom, not by the Emperor of the People to destroy the Eastern Palace. This king wants to hear, eight days ago, when the Dongfang Wangfu was in great trouble, how did you Pang Taiwei assist the Dongfang Wangfu? Assist, just ignore it and watch the palace wait for death? Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang coldly.
Wang Xiong's tone was extremely sharp, and every sentence was heart-wrenching. Approaching the essence of Captain Pang's purpose in the Eastern fiefdom.
The subordinates behind Captain Pang were suddenly sweating profusely.
Driven by Wang Xiong's tone, the surrounding people also became hostile.
Taking a deep breath, Captain Pang said in a deep voice: "The King of the East has misunderstood, since the King of the East wants to know here, then the official is here to solve the confusion of the King of the East!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang.
"On that day, 500,000 Chilian troops attacked, and the official did not send troops out of the city, not because he didn't want to rescue the Dongfang Palace, but to protect the safety of the people in Zhendongcheng! The people are noble and the king is light, this is what the king of the east said many times in the previous generation, the official follows the instructions of the old prince and protects the people of Zhendong City for him, may I ask the king of the east, what the official did, is there any mistake or omission? Captain Pang said solemnly.
Excuses, everyone understands that this is an excuse. However, when Captain Pang said it, he was suspected of currying favor with the people. Wang Xiong came to force the palace with the general trend of the people, and Pang Taiwei wanted to separate Wang Xiong from the people, so on the grounds of protecting the people, the people couldn't find a thorn. Wang Xiong couldn't say anything was wrong.
The subordinates behind Captain Pang were overjoyed. Wang Tiance and other officials changed their faces.
There is nothing wrong with protecting the people! How does Wang Xiong find fault?
"The people are noble and the king is light? Captain Pang, that's right, then in the eyes of Captain Pang, your million-strong army, in the face of 500,000 Chilian troops, can only defend one city in the east of the town? Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang and asked.
Pang Taiwei's eyelids were raised, and there was a sudden silence, because although Wang Xiong's words were simple, there was a big hole hidden.
If you admit that a million-strong army can only face 500,000 Chilian troops, it seems that a million-strong army is extremely incompetent. But if you don't admit it, then why didn't you send out a surplus army to support eight days ago?
"This official just wants Zhendong City to be foolproof, and he didn't think about it so much!" Captain Pang said in a deep voice.
"Heh, in this way, Captain Pang's ability can only be limited to one city, and there is no way to take into account the addition of one city? Since Captain Pang's ability is limited, then my Eastern Fiefdom, presumably Captain Pang is also limited in assistance? There are thirty-six cities in my eastern fiefdom, and Pang Taiwei's ability can only defend one city, so I don't know, what does this king want you to do? Wang Xiong looked at Captain Pang coldly.
Wang Xiongtu was so poor that he asked, which immediately made Captain Pang feel a sigh in his heart.
"Hehe, this official came to the Eastern Fiefdom, guarded the frontier, and governed the cities, this is the order of the emperor, not that you can overthrow it with a sentence of 'what do you want', without this official in charge, the Eastern Fiefdom has already been in chaos!" Captain Pang said coldly.
"Guarding the frontier? Hahahaha, I think you, the captain, are also not worthy of the name, a million army guarding the frontier, and being frightened by 500,000 red training troops and not daring to move? What is the use of this million-strong army? Wang Xiong said coldly.
"King of the East, please don't slander my Great Qin army!" Captain Pang glared.
"Isn't it? Your million-strong army is as fearful as a snake and scorpion, and the Manbaizi desert that was chased and killed by the guards of this palace escaped, can't it explain the problem? Guarding the frontier, your million-strong army can't play a role at all, with my palace here, everything is enough, where did your million-strong army come from, where can you go back! Wang Xiong snorted coldly.
"Where did you come from, where did you go back!" Wang Tiance shouted.
"Where did you come from, where did you go back!" Suddenly, countless officials and people shouted.
The sound shook the whole city, and a huge oppression rushed straight into the hearts of Pang Taiwei and the others.
The faces of everyone behind Captain Pang changed, and only Captain Pang could suppress the anger in their hearts.
"King of the East, the million-strong army is not something you can retreat if you say it, they are defending my Great Qin territory!" Taiwei Pang bit the word 'Daqin' and said coldly.
Pang Taiwei is telling Wang Xiong that the Eastern Fiefdom is also Daqin's, not what you want.
"I know that they are here to assist the king in guarding the frontier, but in the frontier land, the king's palace guards can guard it, so what are they staying for? Do you continue to waste food in the city? Since it was the Great Qin army, it was natural that they should be sent to the place where they were needed, instead of eating and drinking here. Zhendong City, don't raise idlers! Wang Xiong said coldly.
doesn't raise idlers, not only talking about a million army, but also talking about Captain Pang.
"Heh, hahaha, can the Eastern Mansion guard the frontier by itself?" Taiwei Pang stared at Wang Xiong and said coldly.
"Captain Pang thinks that the battle eight days ago is not enough to explain everything? Whether or not my palace can guard the frontier or not, it is better than your million-strong army, which only dares to do it, right? Wang Xiong said with a smile.
Captain Pang was speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, this official was appointed by the emperor, but it was not ordered by your king of the east, and he came to the eastern fiefdom for the sake of the fiefdom. If this official stops administering, the thirty-six cities will be in chaos in an instant, do you believe it or not? Captain Pang said in a deep voice.
Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed.
Believe, how can Wang Xiong not believe it! In the past few years, the positions of important officials in the major cities have long been replaced by Pang Taiwei's people. Wherever he wants, he can mess up.
Wang Xiong is persecuting Pang Taiwei, and Pang Taiwei is also threatening Wang Xiong.
Once the major cities are chaotic, Wang Xiong's influence cannot deter the major cities in a short time, then Great Qin will have a reason to come and take over. At that time, the Eastern Fiefdom will be more thoroughly infiltrated by Great Qin.
Now, at least on the surface, it is stable, and the thirty-six cities are all under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Fiefdom.
"Pang Taiwei assists this king in managing the Quartet City, this king is naturally grateful, but there is no need for Pang Taiwei to deter the Red Lian Holy Land, Zhendong City, Pang Taiwei staying is useless, but delaying Pang Taiwei to assist this king in managing other cities, how about Pang Taiwei go to the west to sit in the 'East Heart City' today? Here in Zhendong City, this king can sit in town! Wang Xiong stared at Captain Pang and said in a deep voice.
Managing a Zhendong City, Wang Xiong still has self-confidence, this is the most influential city in the palace, the relationship network of the Wang family is all here, and it is also the place where officials care about the palace the most. As long as Captain Pang leaves, he can take over immediately.
Pang Taiwei squinted at Wang Xiong.
This is also the bottom line in Captain Pang's heart. Wang Xiong took advantage of the general trend of the people to force the palace, and Zhendong City was obviously not a place to stay for a long time, but if he gave up the power of other cities, it was impossible for Pang Taiwei to agree even if he tore his face with Wang Xiong.
Now, in exchange for the control of his other cities, Pang Taiwei reluctantly accepted it in his heart.
"It's okay, since the king of the east has the ability to guard the frontier, the official will not be on the side, but before the official leaves, he still wants to ask the king of the east and the marquis of Tiance, the daughter of the official, Pang Hongfan, I don't know where he is?" Captain Pang said in a deep voice.
"What the captain said is funny, your daughter, how does this king know?" Wang Xiong sneered.
Taiwei Pang's face sank, and he turned to look at Wang Tiance. Pang Taiwei doesn't care about Pang Hongfan, what he cares about is whether the copy of "The Book of Removing the Decree of the State" has fallen into the hands of Wang Xiong?
"What Captain Pang said is funny, your daughter, how does Ben Hou know?" Wang Tiance also learned from Wang Xiong's words and sneered.
Captain Pang suddenly became angry.
"Okay, good, good, this official will go to Dongxin City in three days, and after Zhendong City, he will trouble the Dongfang King!" Captain Pang gritted in anger.
"Okay, then it's hard work!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"In this way, this official has also explained to the king of the east, the king of the east, do you want to enter the mansion for a while?" Captain Pang asked politely.
"No need, this city lord's mansion will borrow the Taiwei to live for three more days, and after three days, it will become a new Oriental Palace, and at that time, this king will have time to appreciate it slowly!" Wang Xiong laughed.
In the midst of laughter, Wang Xiong patted the tiger's head and turned his head to look at the excited people and officials around him.
"All the people of Zhendong City, this king hereby decides that when Pang Taiwei leaves Zhendong City, all the taxes in the city will return to the way his father was back then!" Wang Xiong shouted loudly.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
The people of the city immediately cheered.
"Great, the prince has the demeanor of an old prince!"
"Blessed are we!"
"Then Captain Pang is finally going to get out!"
"The prince is wise!"
"Captain Pang, leave early! Come on! ”
…………………………
………………
……
All around was a sea of joy.
Wang Xiong stepped on the tiger and cheered away from the crowd. All the people and officials worshiped Wang Xiong incomparably. Escort Wang Xiong back to the Oriental Palace outside the city.
Watching Wang Xiong and his entourage leave, Captain Pang and the officials behind him all looked ugly.
"The King of the East? Hum! Captain Pang snorted with a gloomy face.
