Chapter 44: You owe me a favor
Bian Wenzhong's expression was both nervous and excited. The Bian family was a huge family. It is known as the first wealthy family in Qin State and has a profound foundation. Although it has been strongly challenged by Deng in recent years, it is still the first throne. The lord of the Bian family can be said to be the first person under the Qin Emperor.
The big family is full of branches and leaves and powerful, but naturally it has its own difficulties. The most important thing is the competition within the family. The current head of the family is Bian Wushuang, who also used his superb martial arts and political skills to sit steadily on this chair, but it does not mean that there is no challenge. Once a big mistake is made, the family will still knock him off the stage. In recent years, the Bian family stretched out their hands to the border army and suffered repeated setbacks. Bian Wushuang's prestige has suffered some setbacks, especially the families of the Bian family who died in the border army, and they are even more complaining.
Bian Wushuang is like this, let alone the dispute between the next generation of heirs. Bian Wenzhong is of course in a favorable position now. With the escort of his father, he will be prosperous in his career. However, there are still many challengers. There are no concept of father-to-sen or son-in-law in the Bian family. Bian Wushuang is ranked third among the Bian family. In the dispute between the Bian family, the capable and the inferior are eliminated. This is also the root cause of the Bian family that has not fallen for hundreds of years. Anyone who can take the position of the head of the family is ruthless and meticulous.
This was the first time Bian Wushuang had to show Bian Wenzhong that he wanted to support him as the next generation of family heads. Bian Wenzhong was of course excited and frightened. For a moment, even the great enemy, the one who was close to him, was thrown aside. He didn't have this intention, including now he wanted to destroy the death camp and also wanted to avenge this great revenge for the Bian family. In this way, he would definitely have a great reputation among the Bian family, especially those who had died in the family. But he didn't say this clearly. Of course, he also knew that his father was so powerful that he could see through his thoughts at a glance, so he had this heart-to-heart talk today.
"The glorious Tang Dynasty in the past collapsed and the world split into four countries. However, the Great Qi of the Cao family followed most of the territory and power of the Tang Dynasty and was the most powerful country in the world. The emperors of the Cao family were all thinking about unifying the world and restoring the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty. However, for more than a hundred years, the four strongholds have been stable and stable. Although the Cao family has emerged in many talents, they are helpless. Do you know why this is?" Bian Wushuang asked.
"It's because the four countries restrain each other." Bian Wenzhong said.
"Yes, although Qin, Chu and Yue are much weaker than Da Qi, the three countries join forces are stronger than Da Qi. However, it is impossible for countries to have the same interests forever, and naturally there will be dirty everywhere. There are many examples of fighting. Just like now, for the sake of domestic stability, we must attack the people of Chu, but no matter how we fight, we have a degree, that is, fight without breaking." Bian Wushuang said with a smile.
"This is why we won't take Anyang County into account!" Bian Wenzhong nodded.
"Yes, we annihilated the western border troops of the Chu people and robbed all Anyang County, but we then withdrew our troops, which was to show our attitude to the Chu people that we did not want to fight a big battle. The Chu people naturally understood this truth, and the two sides had room for negotiations next, and we wanted wealth and land. But if we stopped when we didn't see the good news, and we also had to rob Anyang County. For the Chu people, there was only one way to go to war with us in a full range. Otherwise, how would they explain to the Chinese people? And if the two countries had a full range of war, who would be the happiest person?" Bian Wushuang asked.
"Of course it's Qi State."
"Yes, the most joyful thing is Qi. In terms of national strength, Chu is strong and Qin is weak, but Qin is strong and the two are evenly matched. The strength of the two countries is almost the same. Once a full war begins, it will not be over in a short time. The longer the battle will be, the greater the loss of national strength on both sides, and Qi will have more opportunities to make profits from it." Bian Wushuang shook his head, "So this battle can only be stopped in a good time."
"But the Chu people have suffered such a big loss now, are you willing to give up?" Bian Wenzhong asked in confusion: "If we, the Qin people, suffer such a big loss and do not find the place, we will be resentful."
Bian Wushuang laughed: "There are many tricks in this battle, and the Chu people will definitely stop because it involves the dispute over the throne in their country. Otherwise, we will not have any advantage. Zuo Lixing has been making us suffer over the years. It is really not easy to make him deceived. However, everything is exceptional. He is such a shrewd person, and he is still unable to avoid the common people. Once a great master falls into the world, he will eventually be swallowed up by the torrent of the world." Bian Wushuang shook his head regretfully.
"Father, without Zuo Lixing, it is a good thing for us Daqin." Bian Wenzhong said.
"It's a good thing, but also a bad thing. There are not many masters of the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Yue, and this time there is one less. If someone hadn't asked to kill Zuo Lixing, how could Li Dashui take action? He ended up seriously injured and returned. Our goal itself was just to defeat the western border troops of the Chu people and re-establish our advantage in the Luoying Mountains. Killing Zuo Lixing is not our will."
"Why is this?" Bian Wenzhong was puzzled: "Who wants Zuo Lixing to die?"
"The Chu people themselves!" Bian Wushuang said: "This time, Zuo Lixing's great defeat was the root of their court. Think about it, if Zuo Lixing did not die, what would he think if he had been framed and had so many subordinates died innocently? Will he take revenge? The revenge of a master is not something that ordinary people can bear, and even the royal family will have a headache, so naturally he will be defeated and killed by using a knife."
Bian Wenzhong's face turned pale. This was the first time he had heard such high-level insider news. Previously, he had always thought that this big victory was all about Maritime Li and his father planning behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, there was such a shocking and dirty deal behind it.
"So Wenzhong, you must remember in the future that sometimes the most terrifying person is not necessarily the enemy opposite you, but it is very likely your comrades-in-arms and your companions. Because you will not be careful of them, Zuo Lixing is an obvious example." Bian Wushuang sighed.
"Boy remembered it."
"This battle is already the end. I don't want to lose a soldier or a soldier. It's a huge price to destroy a Chu army that has the will to die. Besides, sometimes, it doesn't necessarily require us to destroy the enemy. We can do it ourselves. We can do it ingeniously, or they will kill ourselves." Bian Wushuang laughed.
"Father, I have something to do. Since we don't want to expand the war, why did Li Shuai ask General Deng to capture Princess Zhaohua?"
"We need to give the Chu people a step to negotiate, and negotiations also require a lot of bargaining chips. Princess Zhaohua is such a person. The Chu people are not strong, with two sons and one daughter. This Princess Zhaohua is their treasure, and it is a rare item. If you hold her, you can make the Chu people look down on the rat and let those belligerent factions stop. It can also allow us to fight for more benefits at the negotiating table." Bian Wushuang said with a smile.
"So that's it. I think General Deng has captured Princess Zhaohua now?"
"If there is no major accident, we should have succeeded. We don't have to stay here for too long. When the border troops swept through the entire Anyang County, we can return to Yongdu." Bian Wushuang said.
"So it turned out that our arrival at the foot of Anyang County was just an armed parade?"
"Of course not. When we come out, we always have to get some benefits. At least we have to earn back the military spending of this dispatch, right?"
Bian Wenzhongqi said: "Since you don't attack the county city, where can you earn military expenses?"
Bian Wushuang laughed: "Of course, I'm waiting for the enemy to offer it. The army in Anyang County is not Zuo Lixing's border army, but just a group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death. If you are scared, you will definitely give a large sum of gold and silver."
"This time I came out with my father, I really learned a lot." Bian Wenzhong said with emotion.
Bian Wushuang patted his son on the back, "You have a lot to learn. People come and serve you."
The personal soldiers behind him quickly prepared pens, ink, paper and other things to deliver them. Bian Wushuang waved his pen and wrote a line of words. When Bian Wenzhong looked at it, he saw that his father only wrote one sentence on the paper.
"Qin Feng, you owe me a favor. Bian Wushuang."
"Father, Qin Feng is just a little captain, and it is worth your personal writing to him?" Bian Wenzhong said dissatisfiedly.
"Qin Feng is a talented person. It is worth admiring to see that he can lead the Death Camp into such a unit. If you look back, you should take a look at the war history of the Death Camp. If such a person does not die, he will become a great player in the future. Now I just wrote a line of words casually, but it may get huge returns in the future. Why not do it? Just a move of idleness. However, don't miss any details at any time, because details determine destiny." Bian Wushuang looked at his son and said.
