Chapter 929: The Magnificent Power of Han (Fifty-Three)

Tian Fucheng, the second son of Tian, ​​moved into the post house. He was still confused and confused. The scene he encountered on the street today was still flashing in front of his eyes. The attitude of the Eastern Expeditionary Army made him greatly frightened. A small The camp officer naturally does not have that much courage. Someone must be instigating him behind his back. So, does this mean that Gao Yuan's attitude towards him has changed?

"Second Young Master, don't worry too much. If Gao Yuan really wants to fully support the First Young Master and abandon us, then he will never invite us to the ceremony this time." Wang Pei from Jicheng who came with Tian Fucheng consoled him: "Now Gao Yuan They are still deliberately sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and trying to profit from it."

"Then how do you explain what happened today? This is a slap in the face in front of everyone!" Tian Fucheng said angrily.

&nb》;Wang Pei hesitated for a moment, "Second Young Master, did something happen to Tian Feng and the others? If it was because of this, Gao Yuan was angry and deliberately humiliated us, it would make sense."

Tian Fucheng was stunned for a long time, and said bitterly: "If you are old and do not die, you are a thief. If he wants to do good for the people of Qi, he should kill himself to thank the world. If he dies, those guys from Linzi who are both heads and rats will definitely line up to come. If he doesn't die if he takes refuge in me, those people will still hold on to the hope of eventuality. If not, how could the boss stop my offensive?"

Although he has a slight upper hand on the battlefield now, he is still far away from defeating his eldest brother completely. It is precisely because of this that he is being controlled by Gao Yuan. This feeling of being controlled by others makes Tian Fucheng almost feel suffocated.

Wang Pei also smiled bitterly, "The only solution now is to quickly defeat the eldest son on the domestic battlefield. As long as we can unify the country, Gao Yuan will have fewer chips to threaten us, and our room for change will be greater." "

"It's easier said than done!" Tian Fucheng sighed, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said: "Wang Pei, I have sent a secret envoy to find Qu Wan."

"Qu Wan" Wang Pei was startled. Qu Wan was an important general of the Chu State. When the rebellion broke out in Qi, he led his army to occupy Linyi. Now he is sharpening his sword to attack Judu, but the assembled army It is not the main force of the Chu State and its combat effectiveness is limited. After taking Linyi, it seems that some successors are weak. Qu Wan is also training in Linyi. Once he completes the integration and improves his combat effectiveness, the next step will be to directly attack Judu, but Judu is still there. Under the control of the eldest son, it is not their turn to worry about

Wang Pei's face looked a little ugly: "Second Young Master, do you want to join forces with Qu Wan?"

"We can't hang ourselves on a tree. I told Qu Wan that if he is willing to help me, then Judu will be his and Qi will always be brothers with Chu in the future. I can send my The eldest son joins Qi as a pledge," Tian Fucheng said

Judu is one of the five capitals of Qi State. Tian Fucheng's intention is to cede Judu to Chu State in exchange for Chu people's support for him.

"Second Young Master, Judu is one of the five capitals of Qi State, and it is also the foundation of the country. If Judu is ceded, I'm afraid the people of the country will not tolerate it," Wang Pei murmured.

"Nothing is better than losing everything," Tian Fucheng said solemnly: "If this continues, Qi will be completely destroyed, not to mention Judu, and the other four capitals will also be difficult to save. If a strong man cuts off his wrists, removes his limbs and saves his trunk, he will eventually make a comeback. that day"

"That's all we can do now!" Wang Pei said with a bitter look on his face.

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a guard rushed in with a strange expression. Tian Fucheng couldn't help being furious. He was very strict in running the army. This guard was so reckless that he kicked him without thinking." What’s the point of panic?”

After being kicked to the ground, the guard did not dare to defend himself and got up quickly, "Master, Yi Bin from the Zhengdong Mansion Supervisory Office is here."

"Yi Bin" Tian Fucheng instinctively felt disgusted with these guys from the Supervisory Yuan, "They come as they come, why are you so worried? Could he eat you?"

"General Tian Feng, General Tian Feng was tied up and escorted here," the guard whispered. Tian Feng was the leader of these guards. He suddenly disappeared for nearly two months and reappeared, but became a prisoner of the Eastern Conquest Army. How not to surprise them

Tian Fucheng and Wang Pei looked at each other. Sure enough, Tian Feng had already missed. Tian Fucheng was extremely angry and shouted: "Useless thing."

Wang Pei whispered: "Let's go, young master, we can't keep people waiting any longer. In any case, if they send Tian Feng back, they won't delve into this matter any further."

Tian Fucheng took a deep breath and strode outside.

In the lobby, Tian Feng was pushed to his knees. Yi Bin put his hands behind his back and was looking at the picture of seven galloping horses in the lobby. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw that Tian Fucheng had appeared. in his sight

Tian Fucheng put his hand on the handle of the knife and strode out. When he saw Tian Feng kneeling on the ground, he choked and pulled out the knife. He swung the knife and slashed at Tian Feng, "You are a bastard who ran away from your master. What evil things have been done outside that can’t tarnish my reputation?”

Tian Feng frowned and looked at Tian Fucheng, his eyes flashing with tears, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.

With a bang, the two supervisory guards standing behind Tian Feng drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time and held Tian Fucheng's waist sword. Yi Bin also stepped forward and grabbed Tian Fucheng's wrist, "General Tian, ​​please calm down for now."

Tian Fucheng gasped and pointed at Tian Feng, "This person is my guard commander. Two months ago, he suddenly disappeared with some people. I was still looking for this person everywhere, but I didn't know that you would help me." Got it”

Yi Bin laughed, "General Tian was serious. This Tian Feng actually sneaked into Dayan County with some people in an attempt to assassinate General Tian's father, Prime Minister Tian. However, we captured him on the spot. Today we specially sent it to General Tian." , let General Tian decide how to deal with it."

"Thank you, Vice President Yi." Tian Fucheng cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely not spare him lightly. Cutting into pieces by a thousand cuts is light."

"That's General Tian's family matter. We can't comment on it. But General Tian, ​​the King of Han doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again. Prime Minister Tian is a person respected by the King of Han. Because of this matter, the King of Han is already very angry."

"Yes, please rest assured, King Han, such a thing will never happen again." Wang Pei hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This Tian Feng took people out privately, and General Tian didn't know about it at all. Please report it to Vice President Yi on his behalf." The King of Han and General Tian will definitely punish those involved severely and will never let the same thing happen a second time.”

"That's good!" Yi Bin cupped his hand, "Everything is complicated, I don't dare to stay too long and disturb you two."

"Vice President Yi, please! General Wang, send Vice President Yi off for me," Tian Fucheng returned the gift with his hand in hand.

Wang Pei accompanied Yi Bin to the gate. Yi Bin got on his horse, looked at Wang Pei, and suddenly said: "This Tian Feng is a tough guy. He has suffered a lot, but he only said that he acted privately, and Tian Er The young master has nothing to do with it”

The muscles on Wang Pei's face twitched slightly, but Yi Bin's words had several meanings. The main reason was that Tian Fucheng did this, so don't expect to be able to hide it from others. Secondly, I'm afraid it is Yi Bin's private property. , it seems that he still admires Tian Feng.

Silently, he bowed his hands to Yi Bin. Yi Bin smiled and rode away.

In the house, Tian Feng burst into tears, "Second Young Master, please kill me. You can't live up to the truth. I just regret that I didn't die on the spot. I was caught by them later and couldn't die even if I wanted to."

"Who said the Second Young Master wants to kill you!" Before Tian Fucheng could speak, Wang Pei's voice came from outside, "General Tian Feng, you are loyal to the Second Young Master. It's not too late for the Second Young Master to protect someone like you." , how could I kill you?”

Tian Fucheng looked up at Wang Pei in surprise. Seeing Wang Pei wink at him, he followed Wang Pei's words, "General Wang said it rightly, Tian Feng, you have suffered, go down and rest for two days." "I'll send someone to take you back. You can't stay here in Jicheng." He walked over and untied Tian Feng, patted his shoulder, and asked someone to take him down to wash and rest.

After Tian Feng left, Tian Fucheng looked up at Wang Pei with a look of hesitation on his face. He originally wanted to kill Tian Feng, but because Wang Pei interfered with him like this, he had to stop. Moreover, he He also really dislikes people making decisions for him, even if Wang Pei is now his most trusted right-hand man.

"Second Young Master, Yi Bin sent Tian Feng back with such a big fanfare, I'm afraid he was expecting you to kill him. Killing Tian Feng is easy, but our military morale will also be shaken."

"If you don't kill Tian Feng, how will the King of Han explain it?"

"Why do you need to explain?" Wang Pei shook his head and said: "Since the other party sent Tian Feng back, they will not pursue this matter. Both parties are just pretending to be deaf and dumb. It's fine that each other knows what they know. Let's send another sum of money. It’ll be fine of course”

"Silver" Tian Fucheng immediately had a bitter look on his face. Nowadays, silver is also a huge thing for him. Raising an army requires a lot of money, and Gao Yuan often has to steal a large amount. The Qi Kingdom has continuous wars. The economy is in decline, the public sector is in decline, and income is plummeting.

Just when Yi Bin sent Tian Feng to Tian Fucheng's place, at the residence of Master Tian on the other side, Yan Shenghao visited the other party on behalf of Zhengdong Mansion. Tian Yuanyuan carried the credentials of the Qi State, accompanied by the princes and princesses of the King of Qi. Naturally, corresponding treatment should be given

"Yan Yizheng, this time I brought another three million taels of cash. According to the agreement we signed with you, we have already paid five million taels of cash. Should the King of Han release my father?" Tian Yuanyuan said

"According to the agreement, it is naturally like this, but there are unforeseen circumstances!" Yan Shenghao sighed.

"What's going on? Could it be that the King of Han wants to go back on his word?"

"How could the King of Han go back on his word? But the eldest son may not know that just this time when we sent people to Dayan County to meet Prime Minister Tian, ​​Tian Fucheng actually sent his general Tian Feng to sneak into Prime Minister Tian's residence, thinking There was a bloody battle to assassinate Prime Minister Tian. All the men we sent to protect Prime Minister Tian died in the battle. If Yi Bin hadn't arrived just in time, Prime Minister Tian would have been killed on the spot, but even so, he was seriously injured. Not to mention the long journey, it is now difficult to even get up. The King of Han specially sent the best doctor from Jicheng to accompany him there. I am afraid that the eldest son will have to wait for a while."

"What?" Tian Yuanyuan's expression changed drastically, and he stood up with a sigh.

"This matter is not a secret. I think the eldest young master also has people on the second young master's side, so he should be able to find out the relevant situation." Yan Shengxu said leisurely: "The King of Han was also very sorry for what happened, so he decided to do it again On top of the original 5,000 Qi troops that were returned, an additional 3,000 will be considered as some compensation for the eldest son. When Tian Xiang recovers from his injury, how about we send Tian Xiang back to his country?" Yan Shenghao's face was full of sincerity, but he said What he said is a decision that cannot be discussed at all (to be continued...)
