"How can we let go of the people who killed us so easily?"
"Actually, we won more. This time, Xiong Bonan took action and finally released our people."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the deposed dragon thief does not have enough fighting strength. It should be because he was seriously injured in the last battle, so he is afraid of us."
"That's exactly what they mean. Judging from the fighting experience these days, they only have a dozen or so battalions at most, and it should be for the sake of compilation that they are a bit mixed."
"But the cavalry should be here."
"If the cavalry hadn't come, we would have eaten them whole battalion!"
"Can't you eat now?"
"You can eat it, but you have to go step by step and clear all the town ferries one by one, otherwise it will be too dangerous. How many cavalry battalions are there? There are quite a few infantry battalions that are organized and have powerful leaders...their soldiers The horse is no good, but the leader above is really good."
"This means that the dozen or so battalions in front of us are real. They are the real members of the Deposed Dragon Gang. We have really defeated them."
"No matter how bad it is, whoever is invincible should bring more towns to the city. We don't have enough rain gear, and the food is also moldy... I only lived in Jiangdu before. It's not that I haven't seen this kind of rain, but I really didn't think about moving to the wilderness. It’s so powerful.”
"This is a matter of caution. Insufficient rain gear and moldy food are not unpleasant things. You will get sick and die. Even if you are alive, you will be weak when the time comes to fight."
"So we want to fight north? Isn't this an extraneous problem? How do you know that there are not dozens of battalions behind these dozen battalions?!"
"There must be dozens of battalions, but don't the deposed dragon thieves need to guard against General Xue and General Sima? And how can these dozens of battalions be like the previous dozen battalions that all need to be tailed? Such soldiers and horses come to support, Firstly, it cannot be considered from beginning to end, secondly, the organization is incomplete, and thirdly, trekking through the rainy season, isn’t it just what we want?”
"Do you really want to fight? Don't we have a covenant?"
"What a heck! Not to mention that the fight has already ended like this, even the Yushe people who went to declare the decree were detained. What kind of covenant is this?! There is also Bai Youbin, who has obviously surrendered to them! They all deny it! "
"Pretending not to know or admit some things is already an attitude. We are officials and they are thieves. Do you really think we want to form an alliance?"
"Everyone is a traitor..."
"Shut up..."
"Ahem! Xuzhou and Huankou are already here. If we take Huaixi as the target, we are already halfway there. If we work harder, we will reach Pengcheng and Qiaojun, right? Why bother?"
"Now that we have arrived at Huankou, I will say a few words and follow the Huanshui River. It is faster to take the road of Qiaojun, Liangjun and Xingyang, because the official road is different from the official road, and the river channel is different from the river channel. The Huanshui River This river and the official road next to it were originally used by the imperial court to transfer taxes from Jiangnan and Huainan, and were most suitable for marching armies... Walking from here, the army would actually be much faster and safer than walking through Huaixi, because it was basically It doesn’t have to be like now, where the troops have to be spread out over dozens of miles before they can move through.”
"Yes, if we go to Huaixi, we have to cross one river after another. Our troops and horses will be separated by these rivers. As the saying goes, we must not have the intention of harming others, and we must have the intention of guarding against others. We must counterattack Come here to prevent others from coming down and cutting our backs... On the other hand, it would be much more appropriate if we all go from Huanshui to the west bank together."
"It makes sense. You can tell by looking at the regulations of the Huaiyou League lobby and the number of restaurants left here. They all relied on this water that day."
"What you said is wrong... General Tuwan Lao is still to blame for the troops spreading out now. He only had more than 10,000 people in front, but he took away all the food and rain gear along the way. Don't say this if you don't disperse. We can’t even get enough firewood.”
"What does this have to do with General Tuwan? His 10,000 people are also human beings. After all, there are more of us, and we are unwilling to be restrained... Who wants to camp when there are towns where we can stay overnight?"
"That's true..."
"Stop." Prime Minister Sima, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's quarrel and raising glasses to each other. "Everyone, we have worked so hard to come here and took shelter from the rain in the lobby of Huaiyou League. After all, we should have a drink first to warm ourselves up and get rid of the moisture!"
After saying that, he stood up and took a drink proudly.
The people around did not dare to neglect. From the left servant shooting Sima Deke to the right servant shooting Sima Jinda, they all stood up and congratulated in unison: "Thank you, Prime Minister."
Just now we raised our glasses and drank together.
The lobby of Huaiyou League in the rain seemed to have returned to its most glorious moment.
After finishing the drink, Sima Huada just sat down and then squinted his eyes and asked the people around him: "We have been fighting for a long time, but someone can tell me clearly what we are fighting about?"
Sima Deke wanted to answer with his hand, but he simply kept silent and only glanced at Sima Jinda opposite.
Sima Jinda had no choice but to answer: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I have been walking in the rain these past few days, and have been fighting intensively with the Deposed Dragon Gang. It can be said that it is difficult both internally and externally. Therefore, some people think that we should abandon the original plan and start from Huankou." We will turn here and no longer go against the Huaihe River to the west of the Huaihe River, but go against the Huan River to Xingyang and return to the Eastern Capital. For this reason, we will not hesitate to formally fight with the Deposed Dragon Gang."
"Is this it?" Sima Huada was completely unimpressed, even dismissive.
"That's it." Sima Jinda bowed his head and replied sincerely.
"Then should we turn?" Sima Huada continued to ask.
Sima Jinda first took a long breath, then looked at the broken decorations on the roof of the lobby that had not been replaced in time, and then turned to look at the rainwater under the eaves outside. Finally, he turned back and looked at his brother under the gaze of many generals in the hall. He spoke slowly: "I don't think it's necessary."
"Why?" Sima Huada asked a little more seriously this time.
"Although the Deposed Dragon Gang does seem to be lacking in combat strength, we have also suffered significant losses due to the rain. In this case, instead of risking a fight with a powerful force like the Deposed Dragon Gang, go north. It’s better to hurry west and enter Huaixi so that you can rest and recuperate.” Sima Jinda replied seriously. "The current fighting is actually just friction. It can be clearly seen that the person at the helm of the Deposed Dragon Gang does not want to fight."
Obviously, this is not a temporary conclusion made by Sima Youpuse, but the result of careful consideration. It is not his own intention, but represents the final decision made by the group of people in the core team of the coup who have completely surrendered to the Sima brothers. .
Of course, Sima Jinda's hesitation in replying can also explain the problem, but he still gave a clear answer.
Therefore, Prime Minister Sima, who used to be the head of Juyi Hall, thought for a while and nodded: "That's it, let's leave quickly! Go to Huaixi!"
"That's it, we have to leave quickly." It was still the first day of May in Hebei. In the large iron workshop outside Jiangling City, with the light of the clear sky, Zhang Xing read the letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and then looked up He spoke to a few people around him. "Go to Huaibei!"
"Is there still fighting in the south?" Dou Lide, the leader of the new General Lingxingtai, immediately became nervous. "The Imperial Army is really coming towards our hinterland?"
"No." Zhang Xing shook the letter in his hand and spoke concisely. "The Forbidden Army did not cross the border on a large scale, and our people did not take the initiative to provoke a war. It was just that Li Ding and Li Longtou went to the front line and took a look. He felt that the opponent had flaws, so he planned a southward raid at Huankou, relying on the Huaibei water network to divide the main force of the Forbidden Army. It's just a plan to lose part of the other party...and since we have this plan, even if we want to reject him, we should immediately go to the front to take a look and explain it clearly to him."
At this point, Zhang Xing turned to look at Qin Bao: "Erlang, we're afraid we won't have time to wait for your mother and Yueniang on the white horse. We need to go south from Jibei County immediately."
Qin Bao nodded and said nothing.
Xie Minghe, the director of foreign affairs, came to ask seriously: "Do you want me to follow you now?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Just stay in Hebei for now. When it comes time to do something, I'm afraid you'll still have to go east. There's no need to go south. And you haven't had a good rest since a year ago, so you should take a rest. Rest... Leader Zhang, although you have just come back from Hejian, you can go south with me." Zhang Xing turned to look at Zhang Shizhao.
"Okay." Zhang Shizhao nodded immediately. "My old face is somewhat effective when it is first revealed, but it is useless when it is later... In fact, Old Feng is also good, or even better, because he came from Jiangdu and is familiar with people there. "
"Will transferring Mr. Feng here now disturb Xue Changxiong?" It was Ma Wei who spoke.
"Director Ma is overthinking." Zhang Shizhao smiled while twirling his beard. "Transferring Lao Feng from the north is an ordinary move. How could it surprise Xue Changxiong? Let me tell you, if you don't transfer him, it's unlikely that Xue Changxiong would be surprised."
Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately: "That's right! Feng Gong has just surrendered. It would be generous not to make any arrangements, but there is no harm in making some arrangements."
The rest of the people are also smart people, and almost everyone is awake.
Let's say that before, Li Ding quickly reorganized his army and went north, combined with some of the previous reinforcements from the north, won three battles in three battles, quickly defeated Wang Chenkuo, and drove the opponent into the mountains. Under the pressure of the army, they came as reinforcements. The shaken Feng Wuyi naturally chose to cooperate and obey... From the outside, it was a surrender... However, due to the continuity of the war, this surrender was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. The Yizi of Erba Jing is a public announcement.
Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for the Deposed Dragon Gang to take Feng Wuyi away from Zhao County and let him make a statement.
It even kills two birds with one stone, because the Deposed Dragon Gang really needs Feng Wuyi's formal surrender... If he can go south to deal with the Forbidden Army together, it will be an act of formal submission to the Deposed Dragon Gang.
"If you really want to confuse Xue Changxiong, you can ask Yuchi Qilang to continue sending the two remaining reinforcements from Beidi back north to Dai County..." Ma Wei came back to his senses and continued to propose. "Let him think that we have a big appetite and want to continue fighting, and withdraw our attention to the northwest corner of Hebei."
"Okay." Zhang Xing nodded immediately. “It’s just these families who need to remember their favors!”
"There's nothing we can do about it." Ma Wei tried his best to persuade. "One south and one north, Bai Hengqiu and Sima Huada are connected together. It's too urgent!"
"Call Feng Gong to go south, and let the reinforcements from the north go to Daijun and go home together. Is there any more?" Zhang Xing nodded and continued to ask.
"I think Xue Changxiong may not move. He was obviously mentally exhausted when he sent out the army last time. Now the troops are also exhausted. How can he come again? The one who should be worried most is Sima Zheng of Dongdu." Xie Minghe reminded seriously.
"So Ma Wei won't follow me. He is going to Baima. Several battalions led by the Military Law Department are there. King Xiongtian is not here, so someone has to capture him." Zhang Xing blurted out. "Even if we know that it is unlikely that Sima Zheng will come out from there, we still have to show up and take precautions."
Everyone immediately fell silent, and Ma Wei was even more powerless... He was smart, but he was not the one who could make the decision with Qiao, so he essentially wanted to follow Zhang Xing or stay in a certain organizational structure as an assistant. But now we still have to take charge of things on our own, even in a misplaced way.
But there is no way, this is the result after the stalls are spread, and it is also the helplessness under the continuous military pressure.
You know, the previous breakout with heavy casualties only ended in mid-February or late February, and since April, the Deposed Dragon Gang has entered a new state of combat readiness on the southern front.
Moreover, during this period, the Deposed Dragon Gang even restructured its organizational structure, reorganized sixty-one battalions, and mobilized forty of them to go south, so that the current situation is that forty battalions are concentrated on the southern line, and the northern There were only a dozen battalions on the front and a few battalions on the western front...a typical emptiness in the rear.
In this case, it would be strange if there was no misalignment or anything.
It is even normal to see large-scale chaos in personnel, military affairs, and intelligence.
In this case, the one who broke the silence was Zhang Shizhao. He twirled his beard and smiled: "So, the chief still doesn't want to fight?"
"How did Lao Zhang figure it out?" Zhang Xing came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh.
"If the chief wants to fight, he doesn't have to worry about this or that. He can just press forward. Being so entangled means he doesn't want to fight." Zhang Shizhao said with a smile. "At the very least, hesitant."
"Not bad." Zhang Xing said frankly. "I really don't want to fight. I'm really afraid of losing my troops in vain... But what Li Ding said makes sense. We should weaken the Forbidden Army appropriately. Otherwise, if so many Forbidden Army enter the Eastern Capital, they will have to expand outward and take some territory to support themselves. , we will still have to fight when the time comes. But the trouble now is that even though we and the senior officials of the Forbidden Army don’t want to fight, they still start fighting when both sides are ambiguous."
"Chief, there is no need to worry." Zhang Shizhao continued to smile. "I understand what the chief means. Two armies, hundreds of miles of battle front. The top is hesitant, and the soldiers below have different minds. No one knows how the situation will develop. Anything can happen... However, if it really turns out to be confusing in the end When a war starts, it won't just appear out of nowhere. He always has a turning point, so we just have to pay careful attention."
"Well said, he always has a turning point." Zhang Xing nodded. "So no matter what, let's go south! Feng Gong and the others can follow later."
"No matter what, let's go south! The rest can follow later."
On the second day of May, in the upper reaches of the Huan River, more than a hundred miles away from Huankou Town, west of Mangdang Mountain, a very dangerous place for the Deposed Dragon Gang, a very dangerous guest suddenly came - maybe He was the last governor of Beiya, Yu Liao. "The main force of the Forbidden Army will enter Qiaojun along the Huan River, and then head west. The Niudu Guild will meet you thirty miles away. Let's go first and meet with Prime Minister Sima for follow-up..."
"Eunuch Yu, drink tea." Wang Zhuo, the leader of the chamberlain army, said in one breath as he looked at the former subordinate in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer directly.
Yu Liao lowered his head to pick up the tea that was a little hot. He only took a sip and quickly put it down. Then he continued to ask hurriedly: "I wonder when Wang Duong is going to let the men serving in the army leave?"
"Do you have to leave?" Wang Zhuo smiled half-heartedly.
"Why don't you leave?" Yu Liao was obviously puzzled. "Duke Niu was worried before that you were pretending to surrender. It was Zhang Sanlang who sent you to serve as internal agents. But today you took the risk and sent me here. Mr. Wang, you told me personally that Zhang Sanlang came to see you personally and allowed you to come and go. Freedom, if there is no fight, we will just go back to the Eastern Capital with the Forbidden Army... If there is a fight, we have nothing to say... Now both sides are restrained, Zhang Sanlang is generous here, and Sima Qilang doesn't want to cause trouble, Isn’t this a good opportunity to return to the Eastern Capital?”
"So what if the key is to return to Dongdu?" Wang Zhuo still smiled half-heartedly.
"When we return to Dongdu, Sima Jinda has personally promised us that Xiyuan will provide us with accommodation... In addition, Dongdu has a lot of warehouses, so we will always have enough old grain, so we don't have to worry about not getting it." Yu Liao said sincerely. "And Governor Niu is still here. He can keep us safe in just one day."
"Duke Niu didn't even protect His Majesty, how can he protect us?" Wang Zhuo still had the same expression.
Yu Liao was finally a little surprised: "Does Duke Wang resent us for not helping His Majesty and sitting back and watching His Majesty be killed?"
"Of course not." Wang Zhuo replied quietly. "Your Majesty has made the world like that. No matter how many times you die, it won't matter. I mean, even your Majesty's illustrious starting point can end up being betrayed and buried in a tree pit within a few years. Niu Dugong can only be regarded as a master What’s the use of practicing as a guarantee to so many of us gentlemen and some of the palace people?”
Yu Biao suddenly realized that he felt desolate for a moment, so he could only try his best to persuade: "It's just like Wang Dugong said, but so what? The sky is big and the earth is big, how can we, a group of rootless people, put down roots? The Wei Dynasty will be overthrown. , Lord Niu will protect us for a few years, the elders seek peace, and the younger ones are waiting for the results of the new dynasty in Dongdu, the capital of the world, which can be regarded as leisure and waiting for work... Going elsewhere will only make things worse Oops."
Wang Zhuo still didn't speak.
Seeing this, Yu Biao had no choice but to persuade again: "Old Wang, Wang Du Gong, is this the time for you to become discouraged? Firstly, since you have sent the letter of surrender, you must give an account; secondly, now that you have done what you want, serve the army. The leader must protect these men from wind and rain; thirdly, to say the least, you have changed your mind now, or the previous letter of surrender was to help Zhang Sanlang trouble the Forbidden Army, but the Forbidden Army has arrived at Huankou, Even if you go to Huaixi immediately, you still have to brush against the southernmost edge of Qiao County. When the time comes, the army will make a slight U-turn, and it will be able to crush you dozens of miles away... What can you say under the pressure of the red mountain? of?"
Wang Zhuo nodded, but then raised his hand: "Eunuch Yu, drink tea first."
Yu Liao had no choice but to pick up the teapot again. This time, the tea was warm and soft, and it was actually suitable. In addition, after talking for a long time, his mouth was already dry, so he simply drank it all, and then wiped it with his wet sleeves. Lower your mouth.
At this time, Wang Zhuo finally spoke seriously: "Xiao Yu... Governor Yu."
"I don't dare take it seriously." Yu Liao obviously misunderstood and stood up quickly. "After Duke Wang has gone to Dongdu, you and Duke Niu will still be in charge."
"That's not what I meant." Wang Zhuo waved his hands and sighed. "Xiao Yu...according to your statement, Sima Huada and the others just arrived at Huankou yesterday, and they made the decision to continue to Huaixi after arguing on the spot?"
"yes."
"Then Mr. Niu Du knew the news and was originally planning to come directly to look for me, but he was worried that his cultivation and identity would be too deep to cause misunderstandings. In addition, King Xiongtian has been lingering nearby, so he specially invited you to come here?"
"yes."
"You arrived in the morning and we met directly until now?"
"nature……"
"Okay." Wang Zhuo raised his hand again to stop the other party from speaking. "So in other words, I was not prepared at all for your coming today, right?"
"Wang Du Gong, it is not up to you to prepare for this matter."
"You still don't understand what I mean." Wang Zhuo laughed. "Eunuch Yu, I mean, since I'm not prepared, why don't you go out for a walk in person and ask in person whether the people serving in the army are willing to go with you?"
Yu Liao was obviously taken aback, and then said solemnly: "In that case, I will make it clear to them face to face, and I will never put Wang Dugong in any trouble, so I can win their trust."
Wang Zhuo stood up without even nodding his head, and Eunuch Yu stood up and left regardless of his fatigue after traveling all night.
It was still raining outside, and in May, the plum rain was already obvious, and the place where the two were talking was surprisingly the county office in the north of Qiao County... Thanks to the two base transfers of the Huaiyou League, as early as two years ago Many years ago, Shijun had expanded his territory from the south of Liang County in the north to this place. However, because of Shijun's limited strength, even if a huge power vacuum was created, he could only stabilize a few surrounding counties. It did not continue to expand... and ever since the Forbidden Army appeared in Huaibei, Wang Zhuo, the leader of the Imperial Guards and the leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang, has been here.
Arriving at the street intersection outside the county government hall, Wang Zhuo looked at the rain above his head and took the initiative to ask: "Would you like to ring the bell and call all the chamberlains over?"
Yu Hao looked at the glimmer of light on the other party's shoulder, and felt an inexplicable feeling of anxiety in his heart. However, he suppressed it and shook his head slightly: "I'll go and talk alone first... Where are they all?"
"The county official in the county government office." Wang Zhuo raised his hand and pointed casually. "The sergeants patrolling the streets, as well as the shops over there, which sell cloth and clothes, and the garrison on the city... all have servants from Dongdu. Looking outside, in the village outside , in the livestock shed, in the blacksmith shop, and on the Huanshui ferry."
Yu Liao nodded perfunctorily. He did not choose to go back to the county government office to find the county official who was a servant. Instead, he stopped a patrol team wearing raincoats on the street and informed the other party of the relevant situation.
Unexpectedly, several chamberlains in the team behaved strangely, and only one leader pressed his knife in the rain and replied: "Eunuch Yu should not have come to ask us. Although we were servants, we are now sergeants. We can go wherever the military orders us. "
After saying that, he actually led the team to leave.
Eunuch Yu had no choice but to stamp his feet on the street in the rain, and then went to look for several county officials. However, the county officials did not say a word after hearing this, but only wanted to look at Wang Zhuo's face. So Eunuch Yu could only Abandoning these people, he walked towards a clothing store pointed by Wang Zhuo.
When they arrived at the shop, they were not waiting for guests, but were packing things. More than a dozen people were packaging many pieces of cloth and clothing, including some linen and silk items. They stopped when they saw Wang Zhuo and Yu Huo come in.
Yu Biao was overjoyed when he came in, because he actually recognized one of them, and then immediately came up to him and asked, "Zhang Gui'er!"
The chamberlain was obviously shocked when he saw Yu Liao, but after taking a look at Wang Zhuo behind him, he took two steps back and asked in shock: "When did Eunuch Yu come? Why are you here at this time? What's going on with the Forbidden Army?" explain?"
"What can I say? I'm coming to take you back to Dongdu." Yu Liao took the other person's hands directly, regardless of the fact that he still had some clothes on his hand. "Zhang Gui'er, it's been six years since we separated, right?"
"Yes." The chamberlain named Zhang Guier's eyes flickered, but he still talked about the past between the two with some emotion under the strange attention of the people around him. "I entered the palace two years later than Eunuch Yu, but I met him in the inner school when it was first built. At that time, Eunuch Yu was good at studying and was number one in the inner school. He became a clerk early. I was not that material. After that, he went to the Cloak and Clothes Supervisor instead... Later, Eunuch Yu became the author of Beiya and often accompanied the emperor. He also didn't forget to look after us men in the inner school... We started staggering from the Western Tour, which really lasted six years. .”
Yu Liao almost cried after hearing what the other party said: "It doesn't matter, we can be together again now!"
Zhang Guier pursed his lips, glanced at Wang Zhuo again, and then asked the person in front of him sincerely: "Does Eunuch Yu also want to join the gang? That would be great."
"You don't know yet, right?" Yu Liao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then maintained a rough peace between the Forbidden Army and the Deposed Dragon Gang. The Forbidden Army was about to go to Huaixi, while the Deposed Dragon Gang allowed the servants to come and go freely, while Niu Dugong He also briefly talked about the benefits such as obtaining Xiyuan for the chamberlain. "We men can go back to Dongdu and have fun together in Xiyuan in the future."
Zhang Guier nodded and simply replied: "I'm not going!" He took his hand away regardless of the other party's shock, turned around and continued folding clothes, "So what if I go back to Dongdu? Dongdu is not home... I won't go, stay here It’s good to go down.”
Yu Liao wanted to come and persuade him, but when he turned around and saw Wang Zhuo's strange expression, he was speechless and just lowered his head and walked out.
When he came outside in the rain, Yu Liao clasped his hands and pondered for a moment, then told Wang Zhuo seriously: "Wang Du Gong, it would be best to ring the bell to gather everyone..."
Wang Zhuo nodded and went to call someone.
Yu Haofu stopped the other party again: "Can you just ring the bell to gather people, and Wang Dugong will not show his face?"
Wang Zhuo nodded immediately: "I will wait here with Eunuch Yu. When people arrive, Eunuch Yu, you go and I stay."
Yu Huo just nodded.
After a while, the bells began to ring in the county government office, and officials rode out on donkeys, shouting along the street, asking people who were servants to go to the county government office. Within a short time, hundreds of people gathered.
"There are still people outside the city. Do you want to wait, Eunuch Yu?" Wang Zhuo reminded seriously.
"No need." Yu Hao also replied seriously. "I must make it clear to them alone. Neither Governor Niu nor the rest of us Jiangdu men will leave them alone."
After saying that, he went to the county government office alone in the rain.
Wang Zhuo stood there with his hands behind his hands, looking at the other person's slightly shrinking back through the drizzle with a complicated expression.
On the other side, Yu Liao came to the county government office. He didn’t know how many times he started to tell the whole story again today, but he actually shivered and trembled a little while talking... You know, this is the May rain, and the main thing is continuous rain. It's extremely high temperature, and I don't know why he's shaking. On the street in front of the county government hall, more than a hundred servants, including Zhang Guier, were dressed in different styles and looked different, but they all stood in the rain and looked at Eunuch Yu who was explaining the situation sincerely with complicated eyes. , also don’t know what they are thinking.
In this way, after a while, Yu Huo finally explained the situation clearly and became more sincere: "Men, come with me. Neither Governor Niu nor any of us Jiangdu men will leave you alone." No one cares!"
However, no one paid any attention to him.
It was raining in the county town in broad daylight. It could not be called noisy but it was definitely not quiet. But now, these hundreds of servants just stood there without saying a word.
To be honest, this scene is almost weird.
However, while Eunuch Yu was obviously a little uneasy and frightened, he was not overly surprised... Maybe it was because he was traveling all night, or maybe he was so frightened that he didn't notice it himself. As smart as he is, I have noticed a little bit of the truth of the matter, but I haven't turned the corner yet.
After a while, some of the chamberlains who knew Eunuch Yu, including Zhang Guier, perhaps feeling pity for him or feeling helpless, spoke:
"We're not going."
"We're not leaving."
"Eunuch Yu, please go back."
"It's okay to stay, but we're not going anyway."
"When we return to Dongdu, Xiyuan is ours. Let's repair Xiyuan and move forward and retreat freely." Yu Huo seemed relieved to receive the response and tried to add.
"Eunuch Yu, what do you mean by being able to advance and retreat freely?" Zhang Guier said with a frown, he really didn't understand.
"That is to say, we can stay behind closed doors in Xiyuan, using Du Gong Niu's ability as a shield, and using the coarse grains stored in Dongdu, waiting for the world to change hands." Yu Liao explained quickly. "Think about it, we have no roots, we always have to rely on an emperor and a palace? Unlike palace people, we can still get married."
"Then I won't go." Upon hearing this, Zhang Guier's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "I will never serve anyone again in my life!"
"We don't need anyone to protect us. We can protect ourselves." A waiter in a raincoat said, holding a knife.
"We're not going to Dongdu anyway!"
"We'll stay here!" The following words were very similar to the sporadic replies before, but almost everyone shouted at the same time.
Eunuch Yu was there, dumbfounded. The governor of Beiya was both frightened and puzzled, but he vaguely thought of something, and then became vaguely curious and expectant.
"Everyone go back!" After a while, the big leader Wang Zhuo appeared behind everyone and calmly gave the order. "I will talk to Eunuch Yu in private again."
Everyone dispersed as told, Wang Zhuo walked forward with his hands behind his back, came to the other party, and then looked at the angry Eunuch Yu and said calmly: "Xiao Yu, you understand, the reason is very simple, they like these few people." The days of the year..."
Yu Hao nodded, then shook his head again, as if he still couldn't believe it.
"I'm here to tell Eunuch Yu where our troubles lie... The trouble lies in Eunuch Yu. You think our life must be very hard and tiring, so we are not comfortable in the palace no matter what. There are supplies in the palace, and at worst there are old grains. Come and eat, so you think you guys are saving our guys." Wang Zhuo leaned his head forward and whispered softly into the other person's ear, almost with his mouth. "But have you ever thought about it, you and the men on the Niu Du Gong side have only experienced that kind of life, but they have never experienced the life we have. And the men on our side have enjoyed both sides of the life, but we all feel that Life is better now... So tell me, who should you listen to? Or to be more direct, which day is better?"
"Life is easy here." Yu Liao was the first born person in the inner school after all, and he came up with the answer in an instant. "It can only make life better here."
"That's what I mean." Wang Zhuo turned back slightly and stared into the other person's eyes. "We men are living a better life now, so whoever wants us to live the same life of serving others and abandon the food produced here to eat old food, we have to fight with him to the end...Xiao Yu, you, Mr. Niu, and those men from Jiangdu, you have to choose one now, do you want to live this good life with us, or do you want to fight with us men to the end?!"
"I will live a good life with you." Eunuch Yu, whose breath had stabilized again, was still so responsive. "No matter what, we can't kill each other."
Wang Zhuo nodded immediately... Beiya Governor's position has never been for idlers... If the other party is really stubborn, don't blame him for being ruthless.
