When Wan He shouted, Tai Shi Feng's hand instinctively retracted. At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Du Hao also restrained Tai Shi Feng again. Tai Shi Feng looked sad and said to Wan He: "Your Highness. "The last general deserves to die. I have no face to serve the prince anymore. Please let the prince give me death." Tai Shifeng shouted while struggling. But this time Cheng Yaojin and Du Hao did not dare to be careless. Death He strangled Tai Shifeng's arms tightly, preventing Tai Shifeng from moving.
Wan He shook his head slightly, but slowly walked to Tai Shi Feng's side. He just stared at Tai Shi Feng in silence. After a long time, Wan He suddenly raised his hand and slapped him. A snapping sound was heard on Tai Shifeng's face. Tai Shifeng's face remained motionless. Only a light red appeared on his bronze cheeks. But Wan He himself was covering his palms and gritting his teeth. call.
Wan He's behavior made everyone present confused. Even Tai Shifeng, who was beaten, looked at Wan He with a blank expression. After a long time, Wan He finally recovered and shook his palm a few times. At the same time, He also blew into the palm of his hand repeatedly. He glared at Tai Shifeng and cursed: "Damn it, why are you so thick-skinned? You are like a stone."
"This..." Tai Shifeng was also a little speechless. The one who was beaten didn't cry out in pain. Why did the one who hit others hit him with a rake? Being so disturbed by Wan He, Tai Shifeng also temporarily forgot about seeking death. He just looked helpless. He looked at Wan He.
"Okay. Let him go." After struggling for a while, Wan He finally returned to normal. He put his red palm behind his back and gave instructions to Cheng Yaojin and Du Hao. Then he said: "Taishifeng did something wrong. Of course he needs to be punished. But I have just punished him. Whether he wants to die or what he does next has nothing to do with me. Even if he dies, it is not because of He did something wrong and was punished. He wanted to die. It only means that there is something wrong with his mind. But it is a pity that Tai Shigong was such a hero back then, but now he has passed down a descendant whose head is all mush. And because of this The bloodline is cut off. It’s sad. It’s deplorable.”
After Wan He finished speaking, he sat straight back to his seat, closed his eyes and rested, completely ignoring Tai Shifeng. Cheng Yaojin and Du Hao also looked at each other strangely, and then cautiously let go. Tai Shifeng, especially Du Hao. He and Tai Shifeng were sworn brothers. Although he had to let go of Tai Shifeng after hearing Wan He's words, he was still worried that Tai Shifeng would do something stupid. His eyes were fixed on his hands. He was always ready to stop him. Looking at Tai Shifeng himself, after listening to Wan He's words, his face was also uncertain. He kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, Tai Shifeng's face became stern and returned to normal again. In his usual appearance, he bowed to Wan Hena and shouted: "I understand the prince's hard work. I will remember the responsibility for this crime for the time being. When the day comes, I will definitely pay for my crime and make meritorious service. I will not let the prince down." Kindness."
When Tai Shifeng said these words, it meant that he would not commit suicide again. Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief. They watched Tai Shifeng stand up directly and slowly walked to Du Hao's side. No more words were spoken. At this moment Wang Gui also reacted. He looked at Wan He who was concentrating with his eyes closed with a strange look on his face. Originally he thought he had overestimated Wan He, but he didn't expect that he underestimated him in the end. No wonder he could transform from a merchant to The disciple became the world-famous Prince of Liang. He originally only joined Wanhe's front because of the relationship between Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Now he is sincerely worshiping Wanhe.
Wang Gui took a deep look at Wan He and took a step forward. He smiled at Du Ruhui and others and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. King Liang has already solved this matter just now." After that, Wang Gui told everyone what happened just now in the Prince's Mansion.
After listening to Wang Gui's words, Du Ruhui and others were also extremely surprised. They did not expect that so many things would happen in just half a day. Du Ruhui immediately frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "The matter is solved like this. That was really a blessing in disguise. As for Luoyang, Master Changsun and Qiao Song were planning it, so there should be no problem. In fact, before that, Master Changsun and the others had already made a corresponding plan to ask Master Liu to go to Hebei. The purpose It was just to create the illusion that the prince was in Luoyang. I didn’t expect that this plan would be effective so quickly.”
Liu Wenjing went to Hebei to contact Xue Shixiong. Fang Xuanling naturally knew about it. Now that he said this, Wang Gui also breathed a sigh of relief. He said with a happy face: "Yes. Yes. If so, then this matter is indeed possible. It has been solved satisfactorily. Next, we just need to be careful during this period of time and not to be caught by people from Prince Qin’s palace. We might as well ask the prince to reduce the number of times he goes out during this period of time to avoid risks."
"No." At this moment, Wan He, who had been keeping his eyes closed before, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "The more things are like this, the more I have to walk around outside. This is the only way. So as not to arouse suspicion."
Wan He suddenly said this, which also made Du Ruhui and Wang Gui stunned for a moment. But soon Du Ruhui figured out what Wan He meant. The Qian Que that Wan He pretended to have also suddenly appeared in the past few months. Appearing in Chang'an. If Li Shimin wants to trace Wan He's whereabouts, then this person who suddenly went to Chang'an to do business and then caused so many troubles and money shortages is undoubtedly the biggest suspect. But over there, Li Shimin just wanted to trace Wan He. He's whereabouts. He's staying behind closed doors when he's short of money. Doesn't this raise suspicion?
Wang Gui was not an idiot. He soon figured out the joints. His face immediately turned red, and he admired Wan He more and more. Then Wan He frowned again and said in a deep voice: "Apart from this matter, I I also got a very important clue from Xiaowu. That is the clue about the treasure of Shang Dynasty. Keming, please come and listen to what it is like."
..... dividing line .............................
Ever since the Xue family army sneaked into Gaojibo and defeated Gaojibo in one fell swoop, the Xue family brothers led more than 10,000 Xue family troops to station in Gaojibo. And soon, Dou Jiande, who learned of the fall of Gaojibo, immediately dispatched various armies. came to attack Gaojibo. Among them was Dou Jiande's general Wang Xiongshu.
Dou Jiande is already a veritable overlord of Hebei. Although he suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with Wang Shichong to attack Luoyang, his main force was not lost. He easily dispatched nearly 50,000 troops to besiege Gaojibo. It is rumored that Dou Jiande is preparing to personally lead an army of 80,000. Although the Xue brothers are brave, facing such an offensive, I am afraid that the Xue brothers, even with their heads and six arms, will not be able to defend this Gaojibo.
Fortunately, Gaojibo is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is surrounded by swamps and reeds. It is also very difficult for the soldiers and horses outside to attack Gaojibo. When Dou Jiande attacked Zhang Jincheng who was stationed at Gaojibo, it was all because of Zhang Jin said he had no knowledge of military matters and his subordinates were all rabble-rousers. Even so, Dou Jiande paid a considerable price to capture Gaojibo. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Gaojibo would be in his own hands. Lost again. This is probably why Dou Jiande was so angry.
On the outskirts of Gaojibo, General Wang Xiongshu frowned. He watched the waves of attacks being repelled. Wang Xiongshu's face also became very ugly. He led his troops to besiege Gaojibo. It was almost Ten days have passed. But Gaojibo is like a turtle shell. No matter how bombarded, the defense line remains motionless. Wang Xiongshu stood on the shore of the swamp, looking at the small island in front of him and the island with an angry face. The military flag with the word "Xue" soaring into the sky made me hate it so much.
"General Wang." At this time, behind Wang Xiongshu, a scar-faced general came over. It was Dou Jiande's confidant Ling Jing. However, Ling Jing changed from his usual scholar attire this time. Instead, he was wearing armor. It was also quite heroic. Ling Jing said to Wang Xiongshu: "It will definitely not work if this continues. In the past ten days, our army has lost tens of thousands of people. But Gaojibo has not moved at all. We want to capture Gaojibo." .I’m afraid it’s still difficult to win just by relying on such a head-on confrontation.”
Wang Xiongshu also nodded vigorously. After experiencing the defeat at Sishui Pass, Wang Xiongshu has become much more mature than before. At least he will no longer just shout and kill. After these ten days of fighting. Although Wang Xiongshu was not convinced, he had to admit that what Ling Jing said was right. It's just that Gaojibo is surrounded by water. The entire Gaojibo is like a big turtle shell. What if there is no head-on confrontation? Go attack.
Seeing Wang Xiong's drooling look, Ling Jing also understood what he was thinking. This was also a headache for him. The predecessor of Xue Jiajun was one of the four powerful soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. In addition, Xue Shixiong himself was a strong soldier of the Sui Dynasty. Veterans. And the Xue brothers are also tiger fathers without dog sons. They are all brave and good at fighting. With only ten thousand people, they actually turned Gaojibo into an iron barrel for defense. I'm afraid Wang Xiong's 50,000 people alone can't really defeat him. How to capture Gaojibo? Is it really necessary to wait until Dou Jiande's reinforcements arrive and combine an army of more than 100,000 to defeat the Xue family army?
Thinking of this, Ling Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Dou Jiande's army will have to wait at least five days to arrive. Now the food and grass in Gaojibo have been taken away. The entire Xia army in Hebei is short of food and grass. The current Xia army can be said to be the most powerful. When he was weak, he was surrounded by strong enemies around Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande gathered his army to attack Gaojibo, which would inevitably lead to empty defenses on all sides. What should be done if strong enemies around him invaded. If he doesn't do it right, it will even destroy Dou Jiande's career over the years.
