Wang Wenzuo lay back on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and let his whole body and mind go empty. But his mind was spinning involuntarily: If he went back like this, he would have to find a way to get money and repay the debt he owed to Cao Ye. With his military exploits here, he should have an official position after he returned. She is not young anymore, and she almost needs to marry a wife...
While I was thinking wildly, voices suddenly came from outside. "Is dog meat good? Sancho is so quick, maybe he just happened to meet a ready-made dog to kill!" Wang Wenzuo was thinking, the door was pushed open, and the leader was Liu An.
"Wu Lang?" Wang Wenzuo quickly got up from the bed: "Why are you here!"
"I just said that Sanlang didn't go out!" Liu An laughed loudly: "Come on, put the food and wine on the table quickly, Sanlang will get up and have a drink with us!"
Everyone who came with them smiled and arranged the food and wine they had brought. Wang Wenzuo took the chief seat and Liu An took the second seat. Everyone sat down according to their official age. Liu An raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Sanlang has returned this time and has made great achievements again. We fellow countrymen are also honored to come and have a glass of wine first to congratulate Sanlang!"
"Congratulations to Sanlang!"
"Don't dare!" Wang Wenzuo ate the wine, and someone had already rushed to help him fill it up. He could feel the burning eyes around him, which was the desire for power and wealth. This is good. People who have no desires or desires cannot do it. victorious.
"Sanlang!" Yuan Aolie couldn't bear his temper and interjected: "Let's agree in advance that you must take me with you next time you send troops. This time Cui Hongdu and He Bayong took full advantage. It won’t be them next time.”
"Yes, I am not as good as Cui Hongdu in terms of archery, and I am not as good as He Bayong in terms of riding skills, but when it comes to footwork, both of them are not as good as me!" Shen Faseng also looked indignant: "If I were to stand in front of Sanlang's horse , even thousands of thieves can’t get close to me!”
Seeing everyone scrambling for the first place, Cui Hongdu and He Bayong did not argue, but just poured and drank by themselves. The two of them had at least achieved the fourth rank this time, and their promotion was already a certainty. They felt that they had different identities from their former companions, and there was no need for them. Argue with it.
Compared to others, Liu An was thinking more deeply: "Sanlang, I heard that there is a serious dispute at the top about whether to withdraw troops. What are your plans?"
"That's what happened!" Wang Wenzuo put down his wine glass: "Du Changshi and most of the generals want to return to the country, but Liu Jishi advocates staying in Sixian City, and there are many people who support him. The governor is in a dilemma!"
"President Liu is so cruel!" Liu An knew the inside story and said bitterly: "This guy offended Li Yifu. He was afraid that he would be punished when he went back, so he took the whole army to stay in Baekje to bury him with him!"
"You can't say that! By the way, where is your family member? Is he still in Sixian City?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
"Liu Yuanzhen? You have gone back a long time ago. You are a noble person in the palace, why are you suffering here!" Liu An sneered: "Then what's the result? The governor can't just get along with him, he will continue to suffer from it! "
"How could it be possible? It was decided just now!" Wang Wenzuo recounted what happened in the side hall just now. Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this. Liu An said with a smile: "It's better to use your method. Fight when you have a chance, and fight when you don't." Withdrawing troops is a way to get the best of both worlds. By the way, do you think Onimuro Fuxin and Fuyu Fengzhang will really kill each other? Fuyu Fengzhang is married to Onimuro Fuxin’s sister!”
"Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for fathers, sons, and brothers to fight each other for power, let alone marrying a younger sister? What's more, there are Japanese people behind Fuyu Fengzhang. Even if Fuyu Fengzhang doesn't want to do anything, the Japanese people behind him will force him. According to what I learned from the Japanese captives, Buyeo Fengzhang actually married the daughter of a Japanese noble chief in the Japanese country, and after returning to Baekje, he married the sister of Onimuro Fukunobu. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops came across the sea, but Do you believe that I will make a wedding dress for Ghost Chamber Fuxin?"
When everyone heard this, their heads shook like rattles, and Liu An asked: "Listen to what San Lang said, we may not be able to go back. Everyone needs to be strong and ready to fight!"
"Wrong!" Wang Wenzuo shook his head: "The most important thing for us right now is to find a way to win the hearts of the Baekje people. Whether it is Fuyu Fengzhang who kills Onimuro Fuxin, or Onimuro Fuxin kills Fuyu Fengzhang, Baekje Ji is sure that people's hearts are shaken, if we can forgive his sins and pacify him, we can achieve miraculous results!"
"The human heart?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They have held bows and arrows for generations, conquering all directions for the emperor, and killing is their profession. The human heart of foreigners is a completely unfamiliar category to them.
"How is Huicong's temple doing now? Let's go take a look tomorrow!"
The next day, the ruins of Dinglin Temple.
"Please, please, Wang Canjun!" Huicong respectfully stretched out his hand, inviting the uninvited guest to sit down.
The dinner in front of him was the strangest combination Wang Wenzuo had ever seen in his life. This is not to say that the food was not good, on the contrary, the food was simple and delicious: toasted pancakes mixed with nuts, corn, sunflower and melon seed porridge, honey in clay pots, thick The thick soup contains pumpkin, mussel meat, crab, and even Sancho's favorite, fermented birch sap. Wang Wenzuo tasted a little and found that it tasted very good, at least much better than the one in the fat woman's wine shop.
"I can see that you are living a good life!" Wang Wenzuo said teasingly: "Master monk, you have gained a lot of weight compared to the last time we met!"
"I found several old intact beehives in the apiary in the ruins of the temple! After cleaning them, many bees flew back. I grew the pumpkins myself, and the others were sent by surrounding farmers. !”
"So, the surrounding farmers are doing pretty well, otherwise they wouldn't have any extra food to give to you!"
"I can't say it was good! If there had been no war, last year would have been a good year, but -" At this point, Huicong shook his head: "But compared to other places, it is much better here!"
"Then has Zen Master ever thought about making other places like those around Sixian City?" Wang Wenzuo asked.
Huicong glanced at Wang Wenzuo and lowered his head: "The poor monk is an outsider. He is lucky to be able to survive in troubled times. How dare he think of anything else!"
"Really? What if Datang immediately withdraws its troops?"
"Withdraw troops?" Huicong looked at Wang Wenzuo warily: "The poor monk is the meat on your chopping board, life and death are in your hands, why do you bother to play with the poor monk!"
"Not long ago, the Tang Dynasty besieged Pyongyang. Sixi City was already an isolated city. It was inevitable to withdraw troops! This kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time. It can take as long as a month or as little as ten days. You will know whether it is true or false! "
"Amitabha!" Huicong bowed his head and recited the Buddha's name. Wang Wenzuo could feel the thousands of thoughts in his heart. He didn't say anything, just waited quietly. A few minutes later, Huicong asked: "Then what do you want me to do?"
