Chapter 1205: The last days of the commander (Part 3)

In Jinghu County, the city gate was already open before dawn.

A carriage creaked out of the cave in the city gate, and behind the carriage, the people followed the soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned. Although there were not many people coming, each one was a big shot in Jinghu County. It can even be said that in the entire Great Chu, there were also famous names.

Of course these people came to see them off. Everyone's faces were different. Some were calm and sarcastic, some were sad and angry, and some were secretly regretful.

Cheng Wuben had received an imperial edict to return to Beijing to report his duties. Yang Qing, the commander of the inner guard, came to announce the edict himself. A thousand inner guards and horses were also entering the city with him.

The city of Jinghu County was very peaceful, and Cheng Wuben had already made preparations. Before Yang Qing entered the city, he had already moved with Bian Wushuang and handed over the commander's mansion to Bian Wushuang.

Yang Qing's time was very stuck. The day after Bian Wushuang entered the city, he appeared in Jinghu County.

Cheng Wuben's courtesy was extremely simple. He didn't even bring any armor and weapons that he had accompanied him for many years. He left all these things to Jiang Shangyan. He was wearing a commoner and the two old men walked out of the Marshal's Mansion in peace.

Cheng Wuben's family originally lived in Jinghu County, but now they are gone. Yang Qing didn't even ask questions. He knew very well that as long as Cheng Wuben was willing to return to Beijing with him, he could bring him back to Beijing safely, and everything else would be a cloud.

If he still wants to take the blame, he is afraid that he can leave Jinghu County City. Since Cheng Wuben has made arrangements, Yang Qing doesn't feel that he has the ability to destroy Cheng Wuben's plan.

Your Majesty, all you want is the basis of your work.

Trembling and walking on thin ice is the most true portrayal of Yang Qing's heart now. He will not be at ease for a day without stepping out of Jinghu County.

He believed that Cheng Wuben would never make trouble, but Cheng Wuben's subordinates were unsure. Even though Cheng Wuben had sent all his trusted generals to fight against the Qi army, the hostility he felt after Yang Qing entered the city yesterday was still overwhelming.

Yang Qing is the commander of the inner guard. This is a yamen that made all the officials of the Great Chu crazily talk. Everyone wants to retreat and never have any contact with this yamen. But after entering the city yesterday, Yang Qing could feel the full malice and hatred of those people who did not shy away from him.

This made him feel very bitter. He wanted to tell these people that I was also fighting for the country and that I had just walked out of the war on the battlefield. But he also knew that it was useless to say anything, because the person he was going to take away was Cheng Wuben. Just this thing alone was enough to make them hate themselves for the rest of their lives.

Yang Qing didn't even dare to live in the city. After Cheng Wuben received the order, he left the city and stationed outside the city with his thousand inner guards. There was no need to monitor Cheng Wuben, because if Cheng Wuben really wanted to do something, his thousand people were in Jinghu County and could not even splash out a wave.

Even if Bian Wushuang is now in Jinghu County.

Because it was not only the army of the former Jinghu County, but more of the people of Jinghu County. If the ordinary soldiers or ordinary people knew the ending after Cheng Wuben left Jinghu County this time, Yang Qing felt that those angry people would tear him to pieces.

When the city gate opened, Yang Qing had already gathered outside the city with his thousand subordinates, leading his horse and standing in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the lights on the city. No one could see the expression on his face.

He was wearing a commoner and with clean sleeves, Cheng Wuben, who walked out of the door, turned around and looked at Zeng Lin, Suqian and other civil and military officials who were seeing him off, clasping his fists and bowing to the ground.

Everyone bent down deeply.

"Everyone, please regain your territory and revitalize the Great Chu!" Cheng Wuben stood up straight, "Before leaving, Cheng has a few words to you. Gathering together is the beginning, unity is the process, and working together is the success. Now the Great Chu is in full swing, and Cheng cannot force anything more. Just ask everyone to be honest and say goodbye!"

Cheng Wuben turned around, straightened his body, and walked forward. Bian Wushuang, who had been with him, followed him out, "Shuai Cheng, let's take away this last journey!"

Cheng Wuben turned his head and looked at Bian Wushuang with a calm face, and smiled: "Okay."

The two of them moved forward side by side, and a faint sob came from behind.

The two walked slowly forward. Yang Qing's inner guard was in front of them, but both seemed to ignore it. Wherever they passed, the inner guards made way out and gave up a passage for the two.

Yang Qing's face was a little complicated. He stood there in the same place, watching the two men gradually moving away. Behind him, two veterans were following slowly in the carriage. Inside the carriage was Cheng Wuben's wife.

Turning his head toward the city gate, countless civil and military officials still stood at the city gate.

Yang Qing sighed and followed the carriage with his horse in his arms, "Let's go!" He said a little lonely.

The flat road extended to the distance in front of the two of them. They seemed to be friends for many years, walking side by side.

"What is Bian Shuai going to do next?" Cheng Wuben asked casually.

"A little rest, we will continue to march." Bian Wushuang said: "The six eastern counties will also bring back at least three counties this year. This will save your Majesty's trust to me!"

Cheng Wuben smiled: "In fact, with Zhou Jiyun's current strength, even if he takes back all six counties, there will be no big problem."

"The reason is this, but I can't do it!" Bian Wushuang said: "I don't want to help the Emperor of Qi too much. It's almost done to do this. I have to leave some capital for Zhou Jiyun so that they can cause more trouble for Emperor Qi."

Cheng Wuben nodded in appreciation: "Cheng has always been worried that Bian Shuai would make great progress in order to repay His Majesty's kindness. This is great, very good. Bian Shuai, you are a bystander. How dare you ask me the biggest problem in Da Chu now, where is it?"

"The foreign enemy is so calm, and civil strife is hard to recover!" Bian Wushuang said simply.

"Well said!" Cheng Wuben glanced at Bian Wushuang with appreciation: "It turns out that the bystander is clear. I have only thought about this matter very much recently."

"Dare to ask for advice?" Bian Wushuang asked.

"The Emperor of Qi treats us as a knife! Zhou Jiyun's representative figure of the wealthy family of Qi, the army under his jurisdiction can be said to be basically controlled by the wealthy family. Emperor Qi did not dare to act rashly, but let Zhou Jiyun attack us, allowing us to continuously consume the strength of Zhou's troops. Until now, Emperor Qi's goal can be said to have reached most of the goal. Bian Shuai saw through this point and left Zhou Jiyun some capital to fight against Emperor Qi, which is very good. As long as the Qi army is in chaos for a day, the Qi army will not dare to use large troops against us, because there is another big worry lying beside him. Mingguo!"

He looked in the direction of the Ming Dynasty with emotion, "I have put in a lot of effort in Qin Feng's rise, but I really didn't expect that he could do this. Now that even Qin State is going to fall into his hands, who will his next target be?"

"Of course it's the Great Chu!" Bian Wushuang said in the intercept.

"Yes, it's the Great Chu." Cheng Wuben nodded clearly: "Qi State is hard-working, but it's easy to deal with. They still haven't wiped out all their shits. As long as I, Da Chu, can naturally stop it. The Ming people are soft knives, and each knife is stabbed to our vital points. The initiator of the Chu State's chaos today is Qin Feng."

"Shishuai Cheng can see clearly that this victory of the Great Chu was just a little reversal of the decline. In terms of national power, the Chu State is actually declining continuously, and the Ming Dynasty's all-round infiltration into the Chu State was unstoppable." Bian Wushuang said.

"How can I see clearly? I am Bian Shuai only has the leisure to think carefully about what happened in the past two years, and look at the flowers in the fog! I have been diligent in military affairs all my life, but in other aspects, I am very dull. Bian Shuai is a sensible person. I will only ask one question, is there any rescue for Da Chu?"

"Difficult!" Bian Wushuang said.

"Will you do your best for Da Chu?"

"Of course!" Bian Wushuang said with a smile: "This is the truth."

Cheng Wuben stopped, looked at Bian Wushuang, and after a while, he said: "If there is really a day when Chu State is irrescueable, please ask Bian Shuai to put the people of Chu first."

"Don't you put the royal family first?" Bian Wushuang asked back.

"It's irrescueable, so I naturally don't care." Cheng Wun's face had a certain resolute look on his face. "It's better for a family to cry than cry all the way, and a country to cry. What's more, the people who rule this land in the future may still have the bloodline of the Min family in their blood. This may be the only comfort of the late emperor."

Bian Wushuang laughed: "Shishuai Cheng is trying to persuade me to surrender to Ming Kingdom at that time? I have a deep hatred with Qin Feng!"

Cheng Wuben narrowed his eyes and looked at Bian Wushuang, "You are not a loyal minister of Qin, nor will you become a loyal minister of Chu. What you are seeking is just the survival of the Bian family. My request for you is to do your best for Chu before the form is unknown. Bian Wushuang, maybe with your efforts, the Great Chu can be reborn in the fire? At that time, you will be the revival of the Great Chu, and will surely be remembered in history, and your Bian family will also become the number one wealthy family of Great Chu, which is much better than if you went to Ming."

Bian Wushuang laughed. "Okay, I agree. Before the situation is unclear, Bian must have fought bloody battles for the Great Chu, and worked hard to do everything, but when things cannot be done, Bian Wu will definitely take the people of the world as a concern and not create a meaningless killing disaster!"

"That's all!" Cheng Wuben bowed: "Just leave here!"

The carriage came over squeakingly, and Cheng Wuben jumped onto the carriage.

Watching the carriage gradually fade away, Bian Wushuang clasped his fists and bowed.
