Chapter 269: King of Zhao: People are stupid and have no medicine
Shuangzhou.
It has been ten days since the Suzhou camp came here.
He Feng was not in a hurry and immediately rushed to Hanlin Prefecture, but started training troops from here.
How to train troops?
To put it simply, it means killing the enemy.
New soldiers need blood and fire to temper their courage and condense their military soul.
As a result, the Beiliang bandits in Shuangzhou were in bad luck.
Since Beiliang's army retreated to the interior and Shuangzhou was captured, Daxia has not yet had time to govern it, and no officials have been sent here.
There is no chief official in a state, so there is a lack of restraint, and more people fall into bandits.
As long as you have two horses, you can mount them and rob the people without having to work and farm the land yourself. This capitalless business has been done by people since ancient times.
In the past two months, rogue bandits have been prevalent near Shuangzhou.
Not only those from Beiliang, but also those from Daxia and Western Chu.
"General, after investigation, these horse bandits are disguised by the Western Chu Army and are here to investigate our army's garrison." Wiping the blood on his knife, Xiao Neng walked over and looked up at He Feng on the horse.
said.
It's too cold here, and the blood on the blade must be wiped off in time, otherwise it will solidify and affect the blade's edge.
He Feng sat firmly on the horse, glanced at the corpses, and said: "The spies of the Western Chu Army are all here. They have crossed at least two states, right?"
"At least from two states, the fact that such a large number of people can come here either means that Western Chu has captured the border state capital of Beiliang, or that it has bribed the defenders of Beiliang." Xiao Neng said.
"Clean the battlefield and burn what can't be taken away."
There is no heavy snow today, and under the clear sky, the fat burns, giving off an appetizing aroma.
"Set up a meal on the spot and then go to Linzhou to meet up with the young master." He Feng said.
Xiao Neng was overjoyed when he heard this: "My general, you are now enlightened. I will go and deliver the military order right now."
There is no military merit in Shuangzhou. No matter how many bandits and bandits are killed, they will not be able to gain recognition.
If you want to go, go to the front line, even if you are just stationed in the direction of Linzhou, you will have a contribution to defending the enemy.
Xiao Neng didn't want to stay in this bitter and cold place for a long time, so it was only right to make meritorious service and be transferred back as soon as possible.
"Young Master, can you defend Linzhou?" He Feng narrowed his eyes and looked north. He counted the time. If Luo Yang wanted to take back the four states, his troops would have already arrived at Linzhou.
I was not in a hurry to go there because rushing is not a business.
When Luoyang's army came back, the Suzhou camp happened to appear, which was a timely help.
Moreover, the Suzhou Battalion is indeed too weak. Once it joins the battlefield too early, it will inevitably suffer too many losses. This is all his current wealth, so he must cherish it.
…
Jinling.
Prison Department Prison.
King Zhao came and appeared in front of King Wei with a livid face.
"Uncle King Zhao, what's wrong with you?" King Wei suddenly felt bad when he saw King Zhao's expression, "Did something happen?"
King Zhao was silent and stared at King Wei, lost in thought for a long time.
Then he finally sighed: "You and Prince Ning have a close relationship."
"Does everyone know this?" King Wei said naturally, "What's wrong with Uncle Ning?"
"Yuanji, you were tricked this time."
King Zhao had figured out many things along the way.
This time, he was entrusted by the King of Wei to contact the people of the King of Wei in the Ministry of Justice and ask them to disband the private army.
To be on the safe side, King Zhao also sent his confidants to follow him secretly.
Then he knew the most terrifying inside story of this matter.
Prince Ning is the mastermind behind all this!
"Uncle King Ning?" King Wei was puzzled, "Uncle King Zhao, what happened?"
King Zhao: "Silly boy, you have raised a private army for others...I now suspect that your master of martial arts, Li Deen, is also a member of Prince Ning."
"What?"
King Wei was shocked: "Uncle King Zhao, what are you talking about?"
King Zhao shook his head and explained everything.
"My people secretly followed and found the place where your group of people was stationed. Then when the people sent there announced their disbandment, they were killed on the spot."
"Then, a long history officer from Prince Ning's Mansion appeared and gathered the troops. No one objected in the process."
"Do you know what it means?"
"The people who train soldiers for you are probably instilling in those people that the object of their allegiance is not you at all...but Prince Ning!" King Zhao said in shock.
It is almost impossible to gather these private armies so smoothly without any setbacks.
Even if the chief officer was changed, the people below would complain, but there was no such thing.
That is to say, this group of people may not have known from the beginning that the person who raised them was actually the King of Wei.
"Prince Ning took advantage of you, used your money, used you to take the blame, and raised a group of private troops comparable to the Black Dragon Riders..."
"You were sold by someone and you are still counting the money for him."
King Zhao said: "Did you have a private deal with Prince Ning to let him take over the private army and then settle the account for you?"
King Wei felt guilty and was stunned.
He did not tell King Zhao about this matter, but told him that he would disband these people to reassure him.
On the other side, he actually reached a deal with Prince Ning and asked Prince Ning to settle the accounts for him, so that the Sanfa Division could not find the whereabouts of a large amount of his funds, and thus suspected him of raising a private army for rebellion.
As for why he wanted to hide it from King Zhao, it was because King Wei knew that King Zhao could not cover it up for him.
To deal with this matter, a large amount of money is needed, and only Prince Ning has this wealth.
"Silly boy, do you think you lied to me and this matter is over?"
King Zhao shook his head: "You are lying to yourself. Now that King Ning has obtained this group of people, he is afraid that his confidence will increase... You are being treasonous."
"What?" King Wei couldn't believe it, "Uncle Zhao Wang, you mean...Uncle Ning, he dares...to rebel?"
How is that possible!
In King Wei's impression, King Ning had always been low-key, even timid, so how could he dare to rebel?
When King Ning sent someone to see him in Tianlao, King Wei really thought that King Ning was just like King Zhao, wanting to give him a hand as a relative.
King Zhao sighed: "Are you still waiting for King Ning to settle your account?"
"He got the manpower without any effort. He has buried this lead a long time ago and is waiting for you to tell him where the troops are stationed."
"Do you think he will still give you this money?"
Such a large sum of money was enough for King Ning to use as the starting capital for the rebellion.
"this……"
King Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that he had been King Ning's shield all along.
"Li De'en is actually one of his people. This time Li De'en went to Suzhou, I temporarily moved the camp, so King Ning couldn't find them..."
"Father, does he know?" King Wei said dejectedly.
King Zhao nodded: "I have already reported this matter to the emperor."
"Uncle Zhao Wang, you!"
King Wei stared, feeling betrayed.
"You are too stupid. I can't save you even if I want to, so I can't let you drag me into the water, right?" King Zhao's expression turned cold.
This eldest nephew is really a loser who cannot be helped.
Not enough brains, but very courageous.
King Zhao has covered up for him many times, but this matter is too big. If King Ning is found out about this after the incident, if he does not report it, it will be a crime of treason.
Everything that needs to be done is done. The prerequisite for saving others is self-protection. King Zhao has always understood this.
"Uncle Zhao Wang..."
King Wei was desperate, and he suddenly laughed: "I am stupid..."
Being taken advantage of by King Ning, he always thought that he was very powerful and even tricked King Qin, feeling that his outsmarting had outrun all the princes.
But suddenly I realized that in front of the older generation, I was still a young boy.
"I will try my best to speak for you and at least give you a way to survive. Your Majesty will probably not want to take action against his own prince... Just be prepared to be exiled." After King Zhao said this, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Uncle Zhao Wang..."
King Zhao stopped and didn't look back.
"How is my mother and concubine?" King Wei asked.
After many days, he finally thought of his mother again.
"Concubine De is very good. She has not been punished in the palace, and no one has bullied her. She has been thinking about how to save you all day long... but she never thought that you are still cheating yourself."
After that, King Zhao walked out of the prison.
This silly kid can't be saved, and King Zhao doesn't want to help anymore. It will take a whole day for such a person to fix his mistakes.
King Wei looked at the empty and magnificent prison, and he suddenly felt that starting from today, the conditions here would be beyond his reach in the future.
It was discovered that he was raising a private army and he was charged with conspiring to rebel.
Now he has made a deal with Prince Ning, and it is confirmed that he is committing another serious crime of treason.
How can I wash it?
Even if you can survive, you can only live in the dirt, and you will never have any chance of wealth.
The capital will be the homeland he can never return to.
"Prince Ning..."
The King of Wei got angry, kicked down tables and chairs, broke the tea table, and stopped his hysterical venting until he hit one of his hands on a pillar and broke it.
Finally, he curled up on the ground full of debris, like a steamed shrimp.
