Although Shangguan Hongyuan's tone was very calm when he said this, the words were as heavy as a thousand pounds in Qian Buli's ears, making him break out in a cold sweat... ············
Without any hesitation, Qian Buli knelt down in front of Shangguan Hongyuan and kowtowed to Shangguan Hongyuan.
While kowtowing, Qian Buli said very sincerely:
"Master Chief Assistant, I just met by chance with that traitor Ye Mingsheng, who is worse than a dog than a dog. We are not close friends at all. If I had known that he was so ambitious, I would have killed this traitor on behalf of the court and for you, Mr. Chief Assistant. Except for this extremely vicious person!"
"Sir, Chief Assistant, I am incompatible with this thief, and we are irreconcilable with each other! I can't wait to eat his flesh raw, sleep on his skin, break his bones and scatter his ashes! Please, Mr. Chief Assistant, tell me clearly!"
Seeing Qian Buli, who swore he was banging his head harder and harder, his forehead already blood red, Shangguan Hongyuan gave him a weak hand and said calmly:
"I understand that I don't want to leave you! I'm just asking. If I can't trust you, how can I keep you with me?"
After hearing what Shangguan Hongyuan said, Qian Buli slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shangguan Hongyuan with tears in his eyes:
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Chief Assistant! I am willing to devote myself to you, Lord Chief Assistant, even till death!"
In response to Qian Buli's statement, Shangguan Hongyuan nodded slightly and said:
"I know what you're thinking. It's getting late, so go back and get some rest early!"
"Thank you for your consideration, Sir Shofu, and please take a rest early!"
After bowing deeply to Shangguan Hongyuan again, Qian Buli bowed and exited the tent...
After walking out of Shangguan Hongyuan's tent, Qian Buli finally relaxed. After walking seven or eight steps, a cold wind blew over him at night. Qian Buli felt a chill on his back. When he touched it with his hand, he realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat. Wet, Qian Buli couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
After a cup of tea, he returned to his tent. Although it was already late at night, he was not sleepy at all after being fucked by Shangguan Hongyuan.
With the help of the guards, Qian Buli applied medicine to the wound on his forehead. Looking at his embarrassed appearance in the bronze mirror, Qian Buli could not help but have a bitter smile on his lips.
In recent years, he has been living on thin ice, surrounded by an abyss. If he is not careful, he will be doomed!
He, Qian Buli, is the biological son of Qian Zhirui, the head of the Qian family in Luo'an and the former Shaoqing of the Zhengsanpin Dali Temple. Although he is a biological child, he is the son of a concubine, so he has no status in the Qian family. Fortunately, Qian Buli himself passed the Jinshi examination and was very smart and sensible, so he was very popular with his father Qian Zhirui.
So with the help of Qian Zhirui, Qian Buli filled the position of seventh-rank chief in the Ministry of War. Although it seemed that his career was going smoothly, Qian Buli knew that this was the limit of what the family could help him. After all, the family's Political resources are mainly allocated to his eldest brother who is a direct descendant, rather than to a boy who is a concubine...
Therefore, in order to climb up, Qian Buli also thought carefully about it. Before the Luo'an Incident, Shangguan Hongyuan, as the chief assistant, had overwhelming power, so Qian Buli thought that if he wanted to climb higher, the best way was Taking advantage of the big tree of the Shangguan family, it would be best if she could marry the daughter of the Shangguan family.
Although he knew that he was just the son of a concubine of the Qian family and it was very difficult to marry a daughter of the Shangguan family, Qian Buli still did not give up. He felt that there were thousands of Shangguan clan and dozens of girls of the right age. He If you can't marry someone who is your direct descendant, you might as well marry someone who is your descendant.
However, what disappointed him was that Shangguan Hongyuan was in power, and the Shangguan clan also followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. Too many people wanted to have relations with the Shangguan clan, so let alone the side branches, even married widows were very popular and worked hard. After more than a year and seeing no progress, Qian Buli had no choice but to give up.
Although he had no choice but to give up the idea of marrying a woman from the Shangguan clan, Qian Buli did not give up on the big tree of Guan Hongyuan. At this time, a new seventh-grade chief officer named Qiu Qingquan came to the Ministry of War, and it was said that this person was white-robed He was born in a family where several generations of his family have been farmers.
After knowing the news, Qian Buli also became somewhat interested in Qiu Qingquan. After all, as one of the six departments of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Ministry of War was the real power department of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was also a very profitable position. Even if he could serve in the Ministry of War, he would be a A small boss must have his own background and path, and it is definitely not something that an ordinary white-coated person can take on...
With Qian Buli's unremitting efforts, he successfully dug out the details of Qiu Qingquan. Qiu Qingquan was indeed born in Baiyi, but he had two sisters. The eldest sister was named Qiu Xueer. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Shangguan Tingshu took a fancy to the concubine and made her a concubine.
Although she is just a concubine, Qiu Xueer is very proud. She gave birth to two sons in three years. In addition, Shangguan Tingshu's eldest wife has never given birth to a son, so Qiu Xueer is also a mother. With a phoenix on his head, he was very favored by Shangguan Tingshu.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Qiu Qingquan was successfully promoted by Shangguan Tingshu under the influence of his sister, and came to the Ministry of War to be a seventh-level chief. After learning about this situation, Qian Buli could not help but envy Qiu Qingquan for having a good person. Sister, if he has a sister like this who can join the line of Shangguan Tingshu, then he doesn’t have to worry about his future future!
With such envy, Qian Buli also had an idea. Qiu Qingquan also has a second sister named Qiu Susu. Although she is not as beautiful as her sister Qiu Xueer, she is also beautiful, gentle and kind. If she can make this If Qiu Susu gets it, won't she become brother-in-law with Shangguan Tingshu? Isn't this the connection between Zhuoguoguo and the Shangguan family?
When he thought of this possibility, Qian Buli became enthusiastic. However, despite this idea, as a child of a noble family, Qian Buli still had his own reservations. He was unwilling to marry Qiu Susu, the daughter of a commoner, as his official wife. In his opinion, It is already very good for him to marry Qiu Susu as his concubine...
Under Qian Buli's persuasion, Qiu Qingquan also felt that his second sister Qiu Susu, although she was a concubine, was already a high achiever for marrying Qian Buli, so she agreed to the marriage. But just when Qian Buli felt that the matter was sure, Qiu Xueer stabbed him horizontally.
This concubine of Shangguan Tingshu was not a simple character. She saw Qian Buli's thoughts at a glance. She told Qian Buli straightforwardly that you are just a concubine of the Qian family, nothing special, and you want to marry her. My sister can but must be the head wife! Otherwise there would be no door!
Devour
Qian Buli was also very angry about the conditions given by Qiu Xueer, and wanted to give up this choice, but while feeling that there was no hope of his promotion, Qiu Xueer began to give Qiu Susu, planning other husbands, and saw that the relationship was obtained As he was about to fly away, Qian Buli finally chose to compromise and marry Qiu Susu as his official wife.
Qian Buli was a little reluctant to marry Qiu Susu at first, but I have to say that Qiu Xueer was also very capable. He soon introduced Qian Buli to Shangguan Tingshu. Within a few months, Qian Buli was promoted from chief officer to foreign minister of the Ministry of War!
Seeing that his choice was reported, Qian Buli's reluctance dissipated a lot, and he treated Qiu Susu more gently and considerately. However, at this time, he never thought that his speculative move would actually save him a few months later. Fate······························
Just three months after Qian Buli was promoted to be a member of the Ministry of War, the Luo'an Incident broke out, marking the complete countdown of the Zhou Dynasty. As a member of the aristocratic family, the Qian family also chose Lin Shize. In order to keep the matter confidential, the Qian family will Qian Buli, a concubine, regarded him as an abandoned son and did not inform him of his plan to evacuate Luo'an.
After the Luo'an Incident, in order to retaliate against those who betrayed him, Shangguan Hongyuan also used the clan members of these aristocratic families who had not evacuated as a vent to be executed, and Qian Buli was also affected, and at the critical moment of being asked to be executed At that moment, Qiu Susu found her sister Qiu Xueer and asked Shangguan Tingshu for help.
With Shangguan Tingshu's endorsement, Qian Buli also managed to escape. Qian Buli was very angry at the family for treating him as an abandoned son. He drew a clear line with the Qian family in anger. At this time, due to the withdrawal of the aristocratic family, , took away many people in the imperial court, among which there were especially many vacancies in the Ministry of War. Under the care of Shangguan Tingshu, Qian Buli also rose rapidly.
The three thousand divine weapons produced by Qian Buli more than a year ago were delivered as scheduled. They were also appreciated by Shangguan Hongyuan and promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, becoming one of the few high-ranking officials in the Luo'an court... ···············
At the same time, Ye Mingsheng became Shangguan Hongyuan's main enemy, and Qian Buli's close relationship with Ye Mingsheng was also found out. However, with Shangguan Tingshu's protection, Qian Buli also stood up. Overcame this difficulty!
However, Qian Buli never expected that Shangguan Hongyuan would take the initiative to bring up this matter today!
Sir, what does this mean?
Do you want to beat yourself up?
Or does it have other meanings?
Thinking that his country's supplies were exhausted, but he didn't even see the city gate in Jinzhong, Qian Buli had a clear idea.
As the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, Qian Buli knew very well that for Ye Mingsheng's Eastern Expedition, the Luo'an court could be said to have devoted all its efforts and money to support the 200,000-strong army. Before the war, everyone in the Luo'an court was very confident. It is believed that Jinzhong can be wiped out within half a month, and even Ye Mingsheng's rebel regime can be wiped out in one fell swoop by sending troops to Yi Jing.
However, the reality is that everyone is disappointed. The Yunbin War lasted for more than two months. The imperial army suffered heavy losses and the Luoan court was ruined. But now the city wall of Jinzhong has not even been seen, let alone captured. Jinzhong!
Therefore, even though five county towns were captured and more than 10,000 Fengwu troops were besieged in Dakou Township, the Eastern Expedition was still a failure... ··········
This failed Eastern Expedition also severely damaged the vitality of the Luo'an court. For at least three to five years, the Luo'an court would no longer be able to gather so many soldiers, horses, food and supplies to fight against the Fengwu army. Therefore, perhaps this The chief minister should be thinking about how to end this war to maintain the dignity of the Luoan court and himself!
Hearing that his old friend had defeated Xu Zhaojie in Jiyu and was leading troops to Yunbin, he would definitely launch a counterattack when he came to Yunbin.
The five county towns captured from the Fengwu Army were the last fig leaf for the Shofu Lord's Eastern Expedition. In order to prevent this Eastern Expedition, which cost countless money and food and lost countless soldiers and horses, from falling into complete failure, the First Assistant Fu Da was the one who planned this annihilation plan against the effective forces of the Fengwu Army.
If you want to reduce the number of soldiers and horses of the Fengwu Army in Yunbin and weaken the counterattack force of the Fengwu Army in the future, taking this into account, the Chief Assistant may force Ye Mingsheng to sign an alliance under the city in the near future to make Ye Mingsheng give up the counterattack. Plan to abandon these five counties!
So who will send the envoy to Fengwu Army?
Thinking of this, Qian Buli's eyes flashed with light. He realized his own value, and secretly thought about what he would do if Shangguan Hongyuan really left this matter to him.
···························
···························
On June 16, it was just dawn in the morning.
Although he slept very late last night, because he was old and had things on his mind, Shangguan Hongyuan got up immediately. Accompanied by his guards, he came to the sentry tower in the camp and raised his hand. He picked up the monocular telescope seized from the Fengwu Army and looked at Dakou Township in the distance.
The more than 70,000 soldiers and horses under his command have been besieging the more than 10,000 Fengwu troops in Dakou Township for five days. If he had chosen to attack by force at the beginning, then the Fengwu troops in Dakou Township would probably Having been completely wiped out, Shangguan Hongyuan will also reap the biggest victory since the Eastern Expedition!
But Shangguan Hongyuan never did this. This was not because he was afraid of excessive casualties and did not dare to order his soldiers to attack Dakou Township. He already understood the principle of Ci not to command troops twenty years ago!
The reason why he chose to encircle rather than attack was actually very simple. Shangguan Hongyuan felt that annihilating only more than 10,000 Fengwu troops was not satisfying. He wanted to use these more than 10,000 Fengwu troops as bait to annihilate more The Fengwu Army was so powerful that Ye Mingsheng could no longer launch a counterattack...
