Chapter 117—Everywhere the Wise (I)

In just three days, the news that Qian Wenheng got was changing almost at any time.

The 50,000 army at the beginning already made him feel heavy, and the next news, when the king of Chu had mobilized an army of 200,000 to prepare to attack Wu, he didn't want to listen to the information that came anymore.

At dusk, just when Qian Wenheng had just finished processing a piece of information, on the official road in the west of the city, a person and a rider rushed towards this small city checkpoint.

Because he was only one man and one horse, the soldiers in the city found him and were not nervous.

The man rode to the bottom of the city, pulled the reins, and shouted upward, "Is there anyone?"

"Who is in the city?" There were soldiers in the city reporting to the team, and one of the teams was poking their heads out, looking down, and seeing that it was just one person and one horse, they were not nervous, but they were very vigilant, and they opened their mouths and asked.

"I am Qian Feng, the nephew of General Qian, and my family is in an emergency, so I came to ask for a meeting!"

"General Qian's nephew, what should I do?" The team was a little embarrassed when they heard this, although they only came with one person and one horse, but at this time, the general had already given a strict order, so it was better to be careful.

"You, go and send a message to the general, and say that there is a man named Qian Feng who wants to go into the city to ask the general to see him, and ask if there is such a person. ”

"No!" the soldier immediately ran down to the city to report the news.

The team rushed down and shouted: "I sent someone to deliver a letter to General Qian, you wait under the city, if the situation is true, I will let you into the city." ”

The man listened, answered, and really waited outside the city.

After a while, the soldier rushed back and said in the ear of the team leader: "Team leader, I have reported to the general, and the general has sent a message to let someone come into the city to meet him." ”

When the team heard this, their attitude immediately improved, and they shouted below: "Young Master Qian, please wait a while, and open the city gate for you immediately!"

He ordered the drawbridge to be lowered, the city gate was opened, and Qian Feng rode his horse, dropped a piece of silver, and entered the city as quickly as possible.

The drawbridge was quickly lifted again, and the gates were closed again, and the team was smiling as they took out their silver.

After Qian Feng entered, he was led by a soldier and soon came to the front of the general's mansion.

Someone went in to report it, and a moment later a soldier came out and took him in.

Outside the small flower hall, the soldiers went in again to report.

After a moment, Qian Feng heard a familiar voice from inside: "Let him in!"

In the small flower hall, Qian Wenheng had already heard the conversation outside and knew that the person had arrived, so after receiving the report, he directly commanded.

But after a while, someone stepped into the small hall from outside, and Qian Wenheng saw that it was his own nephew Qian Feng.

Qian Feng is twenty years old, handsome, dark eyes, thin eyebrows and eyebrows, seems to be an elegant scholar, and there is no weakness, this child was born in the martial arts, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has studied private school, in the last imperial examination a few years before the Yan Dynasty, he also won Xiucai, and is the descendant of the family's civil and military all-rounders.

Qian Wenheng watched him grow up and admired him very much, and Qian Wenheng was very happy to see him.

"My nephew has seen my uncle!" Qian Feng lifted the hem of his clothes and gave Qian Wenheng a big gift, Qian Wenheng hurriedly stood up and helped him up, but stared at him for a moment and asked, "You, why did you come here?"

Although he was very happy to see his relatives, Qian Wenheng was angry, this child was the Qiliner of the Guangda Qian family in his mind, and he valued it more than his son, what are you doing in this city that is destined to be breached?

It's nonsense!

"Uncle, my nephew came here this time to save my uncle's life!" Qian Feng asked the people around him to retreat and said directly.

Hearing this, Qian Wenheng was shocked, and suddenly woke up from the surprise of meeting his relatives, frowned and thought about it, smiled coldly, and said, "You kid, who did you listen to in the family, and came to talk about it? This is not something you can say, why don't you go back quickly?"

Qian Feng took a few steps closer, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, don't be angry, it's my nephew who got the news myself, and I ran over overnight, uncle, please listen to me." ”

"The 200,000 Chu army gathered on the other side of the river, attacked it, a small city, and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye, when not only the life of your uncle is not guaranteed, but the lives of the generals and soldiers below you are not guaranteed, and even the people in this city will suffer, when it comes to you, can you think about it for the people in the city?"

After listening to what Qian Feng said, Qian Wenheng's face suddenly became gloomy, he had followed Wei Yue for twenty years, what world had he not seen?

As soon as I heard this, I knew that my nephew was not only worried about his family, but even a lobbyist for a certain party.

At the moment, he said angrily, "Who are you talking for?"

Qian Wenheng was a general of the Wu Dynasty, and when he was stationed in the city, he was told to surrender by his relatives who came from afar, what was his feeling?

"Uncle, my nephew is on the order of the King of Chu to persuade you to surrender to the Chu army......" Qian Feng was not afraid, bowed down, and replied directly.

"Bastard!" Qian Wenheng was furious: "What are you talking about?! I don't know yet, you are still a greedy for wealth, greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Pointing at the other party with his hand, Qian Wenheng's short beard trembled, his fingers trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't even say anything to scold.

"Please calm my uncle's anger!" Seeing this, Qian Feng pounced and knelt on the ground: "My nephew is not greedy for wealth and wealth, greedy for life and afraid of death!"

After a pause, he said: "First of all, my nephew is not an official of the Wu Dynasty, he has not been an official in Wu Land, and he is also the son of Dayan Tianzi, and he is also the Sheji of Dayan!"

"The general's ambition is to kill the Son of Heaven in front, and to kill the loyal ministers of the royal family to usurp the throne and ascend the throne later! Wu Di is still uneven, and he has washed the court in blood, and recruited beautiful women, lustful, and brutal!"

"Those who are ministers are guilty of the greatest crime of rebellion and forcing the Son of Heaven to death! The master does not care about the people's livelihood and only knows pleasure, and his crime is the greatest! That is, the power of the general is monstrous, and the nephew does not despise doing things for him!"

Seeing that Qian Wenheng's face had turned iron-blue, he was about to be really angry, although Qian Feng was not afraid, he refused to continue to add fire, and suddenly said in a dark voice: "Uncle, do you know that several of your subordinates are going to rebel?"

Originally, Qian Wenheng was already furious and was about to explode, but when he heard this dark voice, he immediately stopped, and his face changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Uncle, don't you know?" Qian Feng said with a sneer: "The people's homes are ready, and now they may have escaped." ”

"If I hadn't met a friend to contact the line, I would have been in the dark and let my uncle die in vain. ”

"Uncle, if you don't believe it, go down and check it now, if these people want to rebel, there will be traces, you couldn't think of it before, now as long as you go and take a look, you can see the traces!"

Qian Wenheng gritted his teeth and smiled: "What you said is unbelievable, I don't believe it, they are all old people who have followed me for ten years!"

"Uncle, have you heard that the tree has fallen and scattered?"

"The foundation of the king of Chu is stable, he has gathered 200,000 elite soldiers, the water and land armies are sent together, and there is a road from Jiaozhou from the heart, this attack is three knives, how can the general resist?"

"Now the army is pressing, leading but not triggering, and the entire Wu land is already boiling, not to mention a few of your battalions, even the old man who followed the general is thinking about his thoughts. ”

"You know the general's methods, there are secret spies under him, and they are everywhere, if in the past, who could hide him? But now that the people's hearts have been dispersed, and everyone is planning to disperse, I got the news and rushed here overnight. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice: "Uncle, this is already openly lost, so I will hide it from the general!"

The five thunderbolts of these words hit the top, Qian Wenheng staggered back a few steps, and hissed: "Nonsense!"

"Uncle, this is all true, the army is scattered, the hearts of the people are scattered, you resist desperately in front, it will be useless, and besides, you resist the Chu army and die, how can it be good if the king of Chu enters Jinling in the future?"

"With the identity of the traitor remnant, how can the Qian family be good? Even if the king of Chu is benevolent and will not be guilty, but with this identity, he will be cornered. ”

"When the time comes, the old and the young in the clan, the men and women will marry, and the academic career, who will have a bright future? Uncle, waiting for the general's old ministers to find a way back, do you still want to pounce on the sunken ship? Please think twice!" Speaking of this, Qian Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, hissing and crying.

When Qian Wenheng heard this, he felt that he was speechless, staggered back, and sat down on the chair.

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

After a while, Qian Wenheng shook his head, and the old voice was hoarse: "Even if I surrender to the King of Chu here, the news will come back, and the Qian family will suffer!"

Hearing this, Qian Feng's heart was relieved, and he immediately said: "Uncle, I have already said before, a lot of people are looking for a way, and now they are running secretly, there are countless people who avoid the limelight, and the general's secret spies themselves are looking for a way, there is one thing, my nephew has not told my uncle, yesterday the Qian family has moved out of Jinling, here is a letter from my father, there are details, please read it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over respectfully.

Qian Wenheng was stunned for a moment, the person seemed to be ten years old, and he took the letter with difficulty and opened it to read.

After reading it, Qian Wenheng looked at the outside of the courtyard in a daze, his eyes seemed to be about to penetrate the heavy building city, and he was silent for a long time, and muttered: "General, the will of heaven is like this!"

However, Qian Wenheng was the one who crawled out of the dead body, and suddenly woke up from his trance, and asked again: "Is the person who contacted you reliable?"

"Reliable, led by Liu Licheng, I already have a large number of people when I see it, if it is a trap, there is no reason for such an implication at this time. ”

"Okay!" This is certain, Qian Wenheng sat up straight with his eyes squinted, and asked again: "What did the person who contacted you say?"

"Uncle, I'll go back and write a letter and hand it over to the State of Chu, as soon as the army arrives, you will surrender, according to the rules of the King of Chu, not only does it not belong to the remnants, but it is still meritorious, and it can protect the official body. ”

There was a faint sound of inspection in the distance, and Qian Wenheng sighed: "I don't want to be an official, as long as I can not implicate the family, I am satisfied, hey!"

looked at Qian Feng with a little reproach: "Why didn't you take out the letter earlier?"

Qian Feng said with a smile: "I presented it to my uncle early, if my uncle can't make up his mind, it's useless." ”

Qian Wenheng nodded, this is indeed the case.

After the two discussed, Qian Feng rushed back and brought back a handwritten letter from Qian Wenheng, which explained that after the Chu army crossed the river, he would give up the city.

Naturally, this letter was quickly passed through secret channels to the relevant parties, and finally passed to Wang Hongyi's hands.

Wang Hongyi raised 200,000 troops, but failed to trigger it, so that his policy of civil strife achieved miraculous results.
