We are in trouble

Chapter 1258 We are in trouble
The Chang'an army has been stationed in Xingzhou, and Xingzhou was previously Dengzhou.

In the lobby, all the generals gathered.

The map was hanging on the side, and an old general pointed to Dengzhou and said confidently: "I am sure that as long as the army marches in, the Dengzhou army will open the city gate and welcome Wang Shi."

Dou Zhong knelt and sat beside him, noncommittal.

He glanced at Wei Zhong, "What does Old Wei think?"

Everyone knew that Wei Zhong's daughter Wei Ling'er had a close relationship with that Duke of Qin, so Wei Zhong's attitude towards Yang Xuan was also quite subtle.

This is stimulating Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong didn't look at the map, "The Shegu people came from the mountains and forests. They are wild and fierce. Beiliao has lost several consecutive attacks. This is a fierce opponent..."

Dou said in a heavy voice, "Speak directly."

is it?

Wei Zhong looked at him, "Except for the southern army, the rest of the Northern Liao army was as neglected as the Tang Dynasty. After many years of peace, the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty were bound to be defeated in the face of such ferocious savages.

And the northern Liao army in the south has been suppressing Datang for many years, full of confidence.You and I both know that the soldiers are full of confidence, and they can use [-]% of their strength.But such Beiliao people are still beaten all over the place by Beijiang. "

"So, you are optimistic about Yang Xuan?" Dou Zhong's eyes became more cold.

"I don't know why some people always say that Beijiang will lose."

"Then why do you think Northern Xinjiang will win?" Dou Zhong asked.

"Simple." Wei Zhong said: "Chang'an's army attacked, the northern border was terrified, and the foundation was unstable. At this moment, Yang Xuan wiped out the Beiliao, and left the troops to guard Ningxing.

Ningxing is a strong city, there are only over ten thousand Shegu people, and the rest of the troops are soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty. It is very difficult to break through such a powerful city as Ningxing.The Northern Xinjiang army immediately retreated, suppressed the situation, and waited for the arrival of the Chang'an army. This is what Yang Xuan should do. "

"Then, why did General Wei think he didn't return?" the servant accompanying the army asked coldly.

"The old man thought that he didn't return because he felt that this battle must be won!" Wei Zhong said.

The servant chuckled, "The general has full confidence in Yang Niang!"

These words are hinting: Are you and Yang Ni exchanging songs.

At such a critical juncture in the Tang Dynasty, a group of idiots are still fighting against dissidents... Wei Zhong thought of what his daughter said in the letter.

——Aye, you often said that all the great talents in the world are in Chang'an, I believed it, so I went to participate in the poetry meeting.I saw a lot of great talents, brilliant, or full of confidence in talking about military affairs.

But I found that none of these great talents can be compared with Yang Xuan.

——Yang Xuan has the courage to take risks, but he is not that kind of desperate gambler.

——He sits in northern Xinjiang and the most affluent south of Beiliao, and it only takes a few years for him to become so powerful that Chang'an's face will change. So, what is he anxious about?
Wei Zhong always felt that his daughter was a delicate girl, until someone came to the house as a guest, and Wei Linger happened to see it, and turned to him and told him that the man walked with wandering eyes, and looked at the decorations of Wei's house with a kind of scrutiny... Do not have close friendships.

Wei Zhong didn't take it seriously.That man was the son of an old friend of his, and he came to Chang'an to ask him for help.It's not a big deal, but two dignitaries are involved.

Wei Zhong had already decided to make a move, but he was delayed for half a day because of something.Half a day later, he learned that the son of his old friend had sold him out.

Although Wei Zhong was annoyed, his daughter's knowledge of people gave him the joy of what he lost and what he gained.

Wei Zhong couldn't make up his mind about the outcome of the battle between Yang Xuan and the Shegu people. He didn't decide to take a gamble until Wei Linger's letter arrived.

If he wins the bet, he will be far-sighted, and Dou Chong will be swept away.

If he loses the bet, Dou Zhong will probably quietly impeach him and Yang Xuan for colluding with each other.

but!
so what!

Dou Zhong is exerting pressure frequently and looking for his faults. Whether this is Dou Zhong's original intention or the emperor's instruction is still unknown.But as a representative of Xunqi, Wei Zhong is not going to bear it anymore.

So, he bet!
"The old man feels that Northern Xinjiang must win!" Wei Zhong said flatly.

"Oh!" The waiter glanced at Dou Zhong.

It seems that it is the emperor's intention to find the old man's fault?
Wei Zhong felt cold.

Dou Zhong said: "She Gu people, fierce."

Northern Xinjiang is almost meaningless.

The servant smiled sharply and said, "It can be seen that General Wei has a special liking for Northern Xinjiang!"

The use of the word special liking was inexplicable, but everyone felt some undercurrents.

Although the Wei family is quite proud of their relatives, the current situation is becoming clearer: with King Wei imprisoned, King Yue Dugu seeks defeat.The emperor obviously wants to join hands with Yang Songcheng to clean up.

Among the aristocratic families, the Zhou family has almost set a target for extermination.

In the clan, the weakening of Liang Wang and others is a certainty.

Among the dignitaries, Wei Zhong was the first to bear the brunt.

If Wei Zhong wants to survive in this game, it is impossible to compromise.

This is not a child's play, I admit defeat, I think you are the boss and it's over.

This is your life!

Even if Wei Zhong resigns from office at this moment, he still cannot escape the liquidation.

After judging that it was the emperor who wanted to blame him, Wei Zhong knew that it was not for relying on him to go north with the army this time, but because he wanted to take himself down.

That being the case, the old man will take a gamble!
Wei Zhong got up, "The old man has to go to check."

After he left, the atmosphere in the lobby became much more active.

"If Yang Ni is defeated, people in Northern Xinjiang will definitely be panicked. The army does not need to attack, but only needs to approach. I bet the old man will definitely follow the scenery."

"That's right! The majesty of the sky is brilliant, who dares to disobey?"

"As long as the banner of punishing the culprit and forgiving the rest is played, I guess this is a march."

The servant coughed dryly, "The Shegu people are fierce, but the soldiers have the heart of loyalty to serve the country, bravely killed the enemy, and successfully captured Neizhou and other places..."

But Neizhou and other places are now in the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army!
Everyone was startled.

But then I rejoiced again.

If the northern border looks at the scenery, then as long as the Chang'an army is fast enough, it will be able to occupy Neizhou and other places before the Shegu people.

At that time, it will be written in the battle report that the city will be broken through a hard battle. Will Chang'an still care about us?

The emperor was thinking about showing off his power, even if it was fake that the guards in Chang'an broke down the city, he was willing to create a real atmosphere.

In this way, the emperor is majestic and majestic, and I will wait for the credit.

Wonderful!

Sure enough, all the people in the palace are human beings... Everyone looked at the servant with some fear in their eyes.

Dou Zhong said indifferently: "But some people think that Yang Ni will win. What is this doing? The old man thinks that this is just for rebellion! This is to shake the morale of my army!"

The servant sternly said: "His heart can be punished!"

Everyone's heart trembled, knowing that Dou Zhong and the palace had reached a consensus that they wanted to win Wei Zhong on the way of this expedition.

Open your eyes for rebellion!
Shake the morale of the army!

Either of these two can kill the head.

Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor to kill Wei Zhong, otherwise the relatives would be shaken and huddled together.

But what about exile?

How much wealth has the Wei family inherited over the years?

So many people are waiting for a piece of the pie.

Perhaps, among them is the Dou family, who is waiting to get the moon first.

"Paper and pen."

Presented with the Four Treasures of the Study, Dou Zhong looked at the waiter, "Is it the old man, or..."

Whoever comes will be able to please the emperor.

Lao Dou is a good man... The servant smiled and said, "Let's send someone to send me the secret music!"

Dou Zhong nodded, "Alright."

He stood up and said, "Urge the people on the stage to inquire about the news of this battle."

"Yes!"

The person in the mirror stand is on the side, all alone.

"Let someone go to Chang'an to urge you to ask where the Southern Xinjiang army is."

……

"drive!"

Yiqi is galloping on the official road.

The knight was wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, but the last autumn rain stopped half a day ago.In other words, this person didn't even have time to take off his coir raincoat.

After the Chang'an army entered Xingzhou, there were [-]% more checkpoints on the official roads around Xingzhou.

"Stop!"

The refusal horse was pulled up on the official road, and dozens of sergeants stared at the visitor solemnly.

The knight reined in his horse and shouted: "Urgent military situation, get out of the way!"

"What's the hurry?" The brigade commander who led the team came over lazily.

The knight took out a sign.

The Lu Shuai glanced at him and shivered all over, "Pull the horse away, hurry up!"

Everyone has seen it, this is the brand of the mirror stage.

The people of the mirror stand are so eager to come from the north...

"You guys are being reckless, don't be surprised." The brigade commander accompanied him carefully, "But there is turmoil in northern Xinjiang?"

These days, businessmen from the north have been saying that the northern border is uneasy, and the reason is self-evident, it is because of the approach of the Chang'an army.

The knight took this opportunity to take off his coir raincoat, drank a sip of water, ate a few mouthfuls of pancakes, and then went on his way again.

"Hey! What's going on!"

The brigade commander asked.

The knight went away, and his answer came on the wind.

"Big event!"

……

"almost."

Dou Zhong and his servants had a secret discussion together.

"Your Majesty, take advantage of the opportunity of attacking the northern border to thoroughly clean the court and the place. The army is the most important thing. Wei Zhong has some prestige among his relatives. He has been in charge of Youwuwei for many years, so he should go." The servant Leng He said coldly: "But this person is not interested, His Majesty asked people to hint him and bring those people closer to His Majesty, but he turned a deaf ear to it."

After the emperor was accumulating strength and preparing to cleanse, he took complete control of the court.For this, he needs to attract more people.

The power of Xunqi is intricate, if it can be pulled over, it will be a great help.

If Wei Zhong refuses, he is committing suicide!
Dou Zhong naturally hoped that this old enemy would fall, he said: "So, I think it's better sooner rather than later. Just today?"

Thinking of Wei Zhong's achievements, the servant couldn't help feeling hot, nodded and said, "Call all the generals and take him down in public."

"It's not necessary to take it down." Dou Zhong shook his head, "Just strip him of his military power and send him back to Chang'an."

Dou Zhong is indeed cautious!This is because they are worried about offending those relatives!The servant smiled and said: "That's right, a relative without military power is not even as good as us. After that, His Majesty will naturally take care of him."

Dou Chong glanced at the servant, feeling contemptuous in his heart, but smiled and said, "That's true."

Subsequently, Dou Zhong convened the generals to discuss the matter.

The waiter spoke. "We went to inspect the army today and found that morale is low. Why?"

A general said: "The soldiers are a little uneasy when they hear that Northern Xinjiang will surely win."

The joke is in place.

The servant sneered, "Who is looking for Yang Ni?"

Dou Zhong glanced at Wei Zhong, "General Wei!"

Wei Zhong knew that he would come back sooner or later, and said with a sneer, "Is it only possible to say that Yang Ni will be defeated? If that's the case, why call us for a discussion."

"Sophistry!" The servant said coldly, "You are shaking the morale of the army!"

Wei Zhong went all out, "Facing the enemy, must we only say that the enemy will be defeated?"

Uh!
That's right!

But the servant said: "Do you think everyone is drunk and I am sober? Let's see, you are working hard for Yang Ni!"

Hey!
This accusation is somewhat serious.

Dou Zhong frowned slightly, he wanted to overthrow Wei Zhong, but he didn't want to kill him.

The originator has no future.

But the servants are different, they don't care about the outside world.If you want to take revenge, you have to break into the palace first.

Wei Zhong glanced at Dou Zhong.

Dou Zhong was silent.

Wei Zhong took a deep breath.

"The old man is going back to Chang'an!"

The servant wants to kill him, so naturally he won't sit still.

Back in his room, Wei Zhong wrote several letters and sent them to Chang'an.

If the emperor is not benevolent, don't blame the old man for being unrighteous.

He took out his daughter's letter, thought about it, and opened the letter that mentioned Yang Xuan.

He saw behind.

——Aye, don't worry, Duke Qin will surely win.

Wei Zhong shook his head.

He heard hoofbeats.

The sound of horseshoes stopped at the lobby, someone dismounted, and rushed into the lobby with heavy footsteps.

"Urgent report!"

Dou Zhong, who was about to discuss with the servant in private about how to deal with Wei Zhong, asked, "What's the matter?"

"Ten days ago, Duke Qin sent troops to fight the Shegu people..."

The servant looked up.

Dou stood up.

All the generals were calm.

"The people of Shegu were defeated, King Axibao of Shegu died in battle! Shegu is gone."

……

Wei Zhong packed his luggage and his attendants took over.

"go!"

Wei Zhong walked out of the room.

I saw a group of people pouring out from the lobby, led by Dou Zhong.

The servant is very strange, he likes to show off in the past, but this time he stands behind Dou Zhong.

Dou Zhong saw him, hesitated for a moment, and walked over slowly.

Is this trying to do something here?

Wei Zhong sneered, and said softly: "Immediately report to Chang'an, saying that the emperor wants to kill all his relatives."

Since you want to be absolutely, let's go together!
Dou Zhong came over and saluted.

Wei Zhong didn't know what he was doing, so he took a step back subconsciously.Asked: "General Dou, what does this mean?"

Dou raised his head.

"The old man was confused for a moment and misunderstood General Wei."

Dou Zhong was confused... Wei Zhong sneered.

"Shegu, it's gone." Dou Zhong smiled wryly, "We are in trouble."
