Chapter 49: The end of the year(2/2)
During this period, Bei Gongyu asked Xu Xi: "Besides me, has anyone from Fu Weijun contacted you during this period to seek asylum?"
Since Bei Gongyu was once a high-ranking person in Fuweijun, Xu Xi did not dare to hide anything. He said honestly: "Two months ago, there were a few people who had met several times in Fuweijun. I don't know.
How did you know that I was in Tongxu? Come here
After he came to me and asked me for money, he found another place..." At this point, he paused, maybe with some scruples, and said hesitantly: "According to them, the young master... no, Xiao Luan,
It seems that he has escaped to Weiguo."
"Hmm." Bei Gongyu nodded, and then asked lightly: "How many people went to Weiguo to defect to Xiao Luan?"
Hearing this, Xu Xi's face flashed with a flash of blue and white. After gritting his teeth, he lowered his head and said truthfully: "Those people asked me to sell the Xu family property, exchange it for currency and goods, and join him."
Xiao Luan, I didn’t want to follow, so they threatened me and threatened to reveal my true identity. That’s why…that’s why I killed them while they were drunk and smuggled their bodies out of the city after coaxing them.
Buried."
"..."
Bei Gongyu glanced at Xu Xi with a complicated expression and sighed secretly.
In fact, he had known for a long time that even the bodyguards Xiao Luan originally selected had inevitably lost their obsession with revenge after sneaking into the Wei Kingdom and living a privileged life for twenty years. These people wanted more.
, how to live the next life happily with a wife and children who don’t know what’s going on.
It cannot be denied that even after twenty years, there are still people who are loyal to Xiao Luan. For example, a few days ago, he watched with his own eyes a Fu Weijun who was unwilling to submit to the imperial court and was killed by the Black Crow Crowd.
.
But having said that, when Xiao Luan is now weak, there are only a few people who are still loyal to Xiao Luan, and more people like Xu Xi want to take the opportunity to get rid of Fu Weijun's control.
This made Bei Gongyu sigh with emotion. The 'foundation' that Xiao Luan had worked so hard for twenty years was ultimately a moon in the water and a flower in the mist. In the past, when Fu Weijun was powerful, these people did not dare to expose their inner feelings easily.
Thoughts, but wait. Now that Xiao Luan is weak, this group of people want to get rid of control. Xiao Luan used the cruelest punishment to deal with those who betrayed, and warned those who have not yet betrayed, but this method is destined not to last long.
.
"Perhaps this is the so-called "Those who gain the right will get more help, and those who lose the right will get less help"..."
Feeling secretly in his heart, Bei Gongyu put away Xu Xi's confession and warned: "If Xiao Ni comes to seek refuge again in the future, you can report it to the county government and ask him to arrest or kill him as appropriate."
After that, he simply turned and left.
After a while, after walking out of the mansion, Kaname asked Beigong Yudao calmly: "Is this enough?"
"Ah." Bei Gongyu responded and said with a complicated expression: "Now that Xiao Ni has lost power, anyone with any sense will not die for Xiao Luan again, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince has given me hope.
…”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the tragedy in his family twenty years ago, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
In his opinion, Prince Zhao Run is definitely a more outstanding hero than King Zhao Si of Wei. In comparison, King Zhao Si of Wei was too cruel back then. In order to prevent them from marrying with the Xiao family,
As well as the clans with whom they have deep friendship, the aristocratic family actually took the lead in avenging the Xiao family.
It was a pity that many members of the Nanyan clan and aristocratic families were forcibly charged with conspiracy and rebellion without knowing what happened, and they named Wei Mu and Sima An as generals.
He led his army to massacre the entire Nanyan clan and family.
What's more important is that after the Nanyan clan and aristocratic family were massacred, Wei King Zhao Si was still sending people to hunt down those who slipped through the net. This made survivors like Bei Gongyu follow Xiao Luan without hesitation.
On the road to revenge.
If there is even a little bit of hope, why do we end up here?
"...That's all."
Shaking his head, Bei Gongyu looked at the heavy snow falling outside the house and couldn't help but rub his hands.
This Xu Xi is the last person on his list. Now, he should return to Daliang.
Having said that, last month when he assisted Zhang Qigong in going to Wei to hunt down Xiao Luan, he asked the Qing Crows to bring his wife and children who were hiding in Dingtao to Daliang. So the question now is how to tell his wife about him.
Are you interested in having more than ten concubines?
With this troublesome problem in mind, Bei Gongyu embarked on the return journey to Daliang.
A few days later, Zhang Qigong, the captain of the Prince's Mansion, reported the results of Bei Gongyu's action to Prince Zhao Run. Zhao Hongrun was very satisfied.
Although thinking about it, one knows that Bei Gongyu is unlikely to be able to fully grasp all the traces of all the secret agents lurking in the Wei State, but Zhao Hongrun believes that under the suppression and investigation of both the imperial court and Bei Gongyu, the domestic Xiao Ni forces
, I believe there are not many left, and even if there are still a few fish that slip through the net, it will not be enough to cause any more trouble.
As for Xiao Luan, Zhao Hongrun also believed that after Wei Gongziyu received the handwriting record of the craftsmanship of "refractory bricks", 90% of the time he would help keep an eye on Xiao Luan's every move, waiting to drain Xiao Luan of all his money.
After finding something, try to get rid of it.
After much deliberation, Xiao Ni's demise was just a matter of time.
In contrast, Song Yun of Song County and the Bei Bo Army under his command did a series of things that made the court feel unhappy and made Zhao Hongrun feel unhappy.
For example, Song Yun restored the Song State in several counties close to the Lu State in Song County, and supported a descendant of the Song royal family who was purely a puppet in Zhao Hongrun's eyes. This finally gave the Beibo Army a so-called status and became a
The king's division who joined the Song royal family was no longer just a Song County rebel with no righteous name like before.
After that, according to relevant news, Song Yun was recently committed to visiting Qi to encourage the Qi people to restore the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Lu, and Song."
Zhao Hongrun could roughly guess Song Yun's intentions. He just wanted to use the Qi State to resist his Wei State.
In Zhao Hongrun's view, although the Chu State was the first to openly support Song Yun in restoring the Song State, because at least half of the power of the Chu State is currently in the hands of Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, Zhao Hongrun has no worries about Chu's influence on the so-called Song State. Support would go so far as to send troops to assist the Song Dynasty in resisting his Wei army.
It's not because Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo has any deep friendship with him. The key lies in Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo's character - he is also a person who can't afford to be early unless Song Yun makes concessions to Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. The latter couldn't refuse the generous reward. Otherwise, how could Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, send troops to assist Song Yun?
In Zhao Hongrun's view, what Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, is most likely to do is to try to encourage the people of Qi to restore the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Lu, and Song". In this way, the relationship between Wei and Qi will inevitably deteriorate, and even in the end, Wei will The two countries Qi and Qi, which had joined hands to resist Chu during the period of Qi King Lu Xi, will turn against each other over the issue of Song County (country), and even go to war.
Once Wei and Qi engage in war, Chu can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. In the eyes of Chu, Wei and Qi are both threats. If these two tigers can fight, this will be the most beneficial thing for Chu. thing.
Of course Zhao Hongrun also thought of this.
In view of the fact that neither side is fully prepared for the fateful decisive battle with South Korea that will determine the status of the two countries' Central Plains, Zhao Hongrun is more inclined to cut the knot quickly and get rid of Song County as soon as possible - to be precise, the one restored by Song Yun The problem of the Beibo Army.
Although the Qi State has Zhao Hongrun's sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao as the left prime minister, Zhao Hongrun is still worried that the proud and arrogant Qi State will restore Song's ally status.
As for the reason, it is obvious that it is nothing more than strengthening Qi's influence in the eastern part of the Central Plains and weakening Wei in disguise.
To put it simply, if the Qi State restores the ally status of the Song State, then the Qi State will have three younger brothers "Song", "Lu", and "Yue" at the same time. With these three younger brothers helping to wave the flag, in the secular world It seems that they are the party of 'the enlightened will get more help'. Although this may sound ridiculous, it does help Qi to continue to occupy the position of "Hegemon of the Central Plains" - the ancient "Hui Alliance" "Isn't it just one or two big countries playing with a few small countries, hoping to use this to enhance their voice in the entire Central Plains?
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun really can't guarantee that the Qi National Congress will agree to Song Yun's request.
Therefore, since the Qi State is still hesitating and has not publicly expressed its attitude towards the Song State, Zhao Hongrun believes that the Wei State should take the lead in attacking the "pseudo Song Dynasty" that Song Yun restored.
After all, if the "pseudo Song Dynasty" does not use troops now, if a decisive battle breaks out between the Wei State and South Korea later, the Wei State will have no time to take care of Song County and can only watch the "pseudo Song Dynasty" helplessly. Song" has become an established fact.
As for this war against the "Puppet Song Dynasty", Zhao Hongrun had already made a decision in his mind, what if Qi State intervened.
