Traveling under the stars and at night, it took only a few days for Wen Yu to raise 20,000 troops and set up camp outside the city of Liuzhou Prefecture.
Even though Wen Yu set off extremely quickly and led his army northward only three days after finishing the incident in Tianxi City, the news still spread to the clan elders. Except for Wu Lugu, the six most powerful clan elders in Liuzhou naturally Being able to rely on their respective entangled forces to get the news first, it is inevitable that they will be suspicious. They gather in the clan elders' mansion to discuss countermeasures and speculate whether this foreigner who is now in the limelight and showing his profound cultivation under Tianxi City is influenced by the emperor. I rarely read it again, so I came to ask for help.
The rules for dispatching troops and horses during war are cumbersome and strict. Generals who are not in charge of one side are not allowed to dispatch troops. Every move of troops and horses requires a jade seal. Only after strict inspection can troops and horses be dispatched. This Wen Yu led his headquarters from Bailou Prefecture. They took a detour and fought for hundreds of miles to reach Tianxi City. The number was only tens of thousands. But now news came from various sources that there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Most of them were soldiers and horses from Liuzhou rushing to help Tianxi City. In fact, it only takes a little thought to realize that Wen Yu is probably coming with the jade talisman of the General's Order. He has great power to mobilize more than 10,000 troops. Of course, it will make the elders' minds change suddenly.
A general with profound cultivation and a large number of troops ignored the initial situation in Tianxi City and rushed his army northward. No matter who it was, it was an extremely unusual move, not to mention that everyone in the clan elders knew it well. Ming Dynasty, if the two elders of Wu and Lu hadn't handed over the order to force the troops to rush for reinforcements, Tianxi City might not have been able to securely hold it, not to mention the amount of money, grain and baggage allocated to the south, even though everyone kept it secret and never mentioned it, most of the incoming and outgoing were very serious, so it was difficult to The thief had a guilty conscience, so when he heard that Wen Yu was coming with his troops, he immediately lost his sense of proportion.
Fortunately, Shi Jingzhai, who had the deepest foundation among the six clan elders, spoke up and suppressed the panic among the clan elders.
Shi Jingzhai's lineage was full of great talents and his family was prominent. The head of the Shi family was proficient in Tao strategy. He followed the predecessor Hehan throughout the Yuan Dynasty and often came up with good strategies. He had early obtained untitled officials among the civil servants and settled in the city. After that, Hehan advocated cutting off the power of the elders of the clan. The historians were not as good as before, but they were still far from being weakened by the decline of the population. On the contrary, great talents repeatedly appeared in the generation. Merchants, scholars and generals frequently came out of the historians, but Liuzhou was The control here is more solid and reliable. Logically speaking, among the eight clan elders in the Liuzhou Clan Lao Mansion, half of the clan elders must be attached to Shi Jingzhai, the current head of the family, to watch the latter act with a face. Moreover, because Shi Jingzhai is inherently changeable in his methods and sophisticated in mind, Of course, words carry a lot of weight in the clan elders' mansion.
The four elders of the Yuan, Ding, and Huang families strongly recommended Shi Jingzhai to take charge of the overall situation. The two elders of the Wu and Gu families were still in the dark room. Only the head of the Lu family was left. He was just past his age. He was quite idle on weekdays. He didn't care about anything and saw the general trend. So, I was so busy that I responded.
We set up camp in the middle of the night, and in the early morning, there was an old man with a pale appearance coming from outside the camp holding a stick.
However, the soldiers refused to allow the old man to enter the camp. They said that their leader had important matters to attend to, so the old man in ordinary clothes waited for a while before he could enter the camp.
The old man was not in a hurry. He took out a cloth handkerchief from his waist and covered it with the old wooden post. Then he sat down quietly, holding up the wooden stick with both hands. His face was always calm and tight, as if he had barely survived the cold weather not long ago. In the extreme winter moon, I went out for a while to have a glimpse of the spring. The sun shone down on my body, which made me feel more and more comfortable. It was not until the soldiers guarding the camp came forward to greet me that the old man got out of his half-sleep and half-awake. He still did not forget to thank the soldiers and took some time to relax. Set foot in the camp leisurely.
Wen Yu had been sitting in the military tent since the late moon had faded before the stars could be seen. He still showed off his face after disguise. While the old man was waiting outside the camp, soldiers came to report every tea break, but the old man started from scratch. In the end, he didn't do anything superfluous. He just kept guarding the wooden stake and took a nap with his stick, but Wen Yu was quite surprised.
"Young old man Shi Jingzhai, I have never heard that Commander Wen came to the capital of Liuzhou and failed to welcome him from afar. Everyone knows that Commander Wen led his troops to fight in various places and defended Tianxi City, which is a great achievement. This is really a neglect. I am ashamed to kill this old man. .”
A set of confessional tone flows smoothly, and can be retracted and released freely.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I just walked through the two states during the war, firstly to relieve the siege, and secondly to train troops. I can't claim to be a great achievement at all. For example, my subordinates seemed to have been cooked in oil for two times. The soldiers and horses of the common people in Liuzhou and Guzhou seemed to have fallen into a forest of swords and rolled countless times. After a hundred kilograms of flesh and blood, only thirty or forty percent remained." Wen Yu smiled brightly and signaled to Shi Jingzhai. Sitting down, he slowly smiled and said, "If it's rude, I should be rude first. When I set up camp last night, I went to visit the clan elder's mansion first. I saw that the houses in the city were in order, and the gatekeepers in the clan elder's mansion were there. His clean clothes and rosy complexion are all due to the well-organized arrangements made by the clan elders. Being relegated to Liuzhou is a bit of a hidden talent."
"Wars have been raging for years, so Duan didn't dare to say anything boastful." Shi Jingzhai looked like an ordinary old man. He neither had rich clothes nor was he surrounded by servants, but he only had a piece of jewelry hanging from his lapel. After hearing Wen Yu's words, the poor old jade looked calm and even sighed. He stroked his beard for a moment and said slowly, "This matter cannot be regarded as favoring one thing over another by the Liuzhou clan. Since we are so close to each other in the world, It is necessary to stand in front of you and block the road. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can be alone, but if you are rich, you can help all directions. Compared with the entire Yuan Dynasty, Liuzhou is just a small place. It is lucky to be able to barely protect Liuzhou from falling. As for the No matter how much we do, it will be of little use but will not be of great use.”
Today, in the Great Yuan Dynasty, there are gradually signs of spring. For example, in the past there were still hidden activities, but now it has slightly changed its appearance. The spring breeze is getting warmer, and it is no longer shy at the beginning.
In fact, it is better in spring. People do not need to light braziers and add thick clothes and other cumbersome expenses. Even if they have no money, they can still endure the slight chill of spring. It is not a bad time for the people in Dayuan City, but for the year-round shepherds. It's not a big deal, after all, the winter wind and snow can still be overcome with physical strength, but now that there is a sudden war, it is really impossible to make a living, so it is still miserable.
"Spring is a beautiful day, but if you have a lot of money in your arms, you can always enjoy the spring scenery more peacefully."
Wen Yu took out a piece of moist jade from the table. The water quality was so good that even Shi Jingzhai couldn't help but look at it twice. However, before he could praise it, Wen Yu beat him to it.
"Since ancient times, during wars, jewelry items may not be sold at a suitable price. On the contrary, gold, silver, soft grains and rice can best support the family. Such a jade with good water content may only be exchanged for a few liters of rice in severe times. Old Sir, you are right, there are not so many things in the world that put others before yourself, but it is different in Liuzhou Prefecture."
"It's a rare thing to live in. If this jade is replaced by Minghuang Qi, not to mention a way of life, it is not empty talk to live in a city with thousands of households."
"When the body is weak, the head is indispensable, but if the body is bloated, even replacing the head seems to be of no importance."
His face was as calm as Shi Jingzhai's, but his brows immediately trembled.
When Wen Yu was young, he always thought that others might not be able to see what he was thinking, and because he was smart since he was a child, he was very confident in doing things and was very proud of himself. However, after meeting Yan Qiye in the inn that day, Wen Yu I no longer feel that I am the wise man with good intentions, and the Liuzhou clan Laofu is no exception.
The sky was calm and the air was clear. Shi Jingzhai didn't know how he walked out of the military camp, let alone how a young practitioner could separate his thoughts from all kinds of wars and happen to hold him within seven inches. When I think about it carefully, what the Liuzhou clan Laofu did was not comprehensive and unreasonable. The reason why he was so confident was because the branches were so intertwined that it was not the Liuzhou clan Laofu’s turn to bear the blame. , according to common sense, several layers will be peeled off, as long as those with power in various places can do things, but in the beginning, the accounts of the clan old man's house were false, which could not be hidden from Wen Yu's eyesight. Secondly, the decision has been made. Who is the leader of the Royal Court and the Xu Meng Mansion? For these noble families who are already full-fledged in Liuzhou and do not need to worry too much about being uprooted, it does not matter who is the vassal, so there is This move was first a test, and then another attempt.
It's a pity that all these things were defeated by Commander Wen's extremely tough methods. It was precisely because of the Minghuang Qi in the latter's hand that could replace Hehan's order, and all his plans were wiped out in one fell swoop.
No matter what, Shi Jingzhai couldn't figure out why today's Hehan would hand over such a bright yellow relative to someone from a foreign country. He even couldn't figure it out for a while. How could this person be so sure that the clan leader had a change of mind? The key point where Laofu is most confident is like having a sword hanging above everyone's head, to the point where they are really at the mercy of others.

I know that you, King Shi, Yuan, Ding, Huang, and the five prominent families are all in the same family, accounting for more than half of the people in power in the clan old manor. However, if you do whatever you want, the three states of Guliu and Bailou are still under the rule of the royal court, let alone Tianxi City. After a tragic victory in a battle, all the soldiers forgot to die, and the people shared the same hatred. How could a clan mansion alone be compared with the royal palace of the Zhengzhang, Hehanling. If Shi Jingzhai cannot leave the camp today, Liuzhou will still be the same Liuzhou, and the royal court will still be the same royal court. The only difference lies in the power of the Shi family. He will have to be eaten by others for free. From now on, it will be worse than the day before, like falling into the clouds. .
The other way is even more fruitless. Since Wen Yu is willing to come, he must have all the details in order before he comes to ask questions. Even if the grass falls in the wind, he wants to seek benefits from others or The most important thing to keep the Shi family alive was Liuzhou. The former rich man who had squandered all his wealth was regarded as useless in the eyes of others. The most horrifying thing is that the swordsman is a foreigner. With this bright yellow qi in his hand, if he wants to make a profit, it would be most suitable to strike at the Liuzhou clan old man's house who has exposed his flaws. It's easy to pick a prominent family member to kill and replace him as a warning to others.
After Shi Jingzhai left, Wen Yu hurriedly set up camp and headed south that day. However, after marching for three to five days, he learned that there had been changes in the Liuzhou clan old manor, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
In this bet, Wen Yu is the winner.
The two prominent families of Yuan and Wang violated the military law by favoring private interests and concealed the secrets of deducting countless amounts of money and supplies. The elders of the clan took away their power and ordered them to be banned from death row for life. The two prominent families of Ding and Huang were also punished because of their unfavorable jurisdiction. ??????? There were more than thousands of people implicated, but Wu Lu and Gu Gu returned their powers and returned to the clan's old government to participate in politics.
