Chapter 502: There is no way to heaven and no way to the earth
Five thunders struck.
Even though Wei Zhengdao has experienced countless ups and downs in his life, overcome countless obstacles, and defeated countless political opponents, he was still shocked after hearing the news brought by Wei Yi.
Is Li Dachui the posthumous son of Li Zemin, the deposed prince of the former Qin Dynasty?
The rise of the Wei family lies in defeating the former crown prince Li Zemin and supporting Li Anmin to come to power. Thus, together with the Kou family, they dominated the political situation of the Qin Dynasty for decades.
But now, when the Wei family is facing the greatest crisis, they find that the ally they relied on as their last resort is actually their biggest enemy.
If Li Dachui is really Li Zemin's posthumous son, then of course he is his biggest enemy.
There is no doubt about this.
Is it possible that you naively think that Li Dachui is a saint with a big belly who can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world?
No, no, no, even a saint will never let go of an enemy who killed his father and his mother.
And as a prince, putting aside the blood feud, he also has more reasons to take revenge on himself.
All previous transactions with the Beiting Protectorate were nothing more than traps set by the other party.
Wei Zhengdao's legs went weak and he fell into the mud with a thud.
Hong Zhan on the other side also opened his mouth wide and did not react for a long time. Otherwise, with his martial arts training, how could Wei Zhengdao be so out of control?
Wei Yi quickly stretched out his hand to help Wei Zhengdao, but failed to lift Wei Zhengdao up from the ground despite several attempts. The father and son looked at each other, but they both saw deep despair in each other's eyes.
Just like a person who fell into the water and was about to drown, he suddenly found a piece of wood floating on the water. When he stretched out his hand to grab it, the piece of wood twisted, and the part hidden under the water lifted up, but it was long. The poisonous snakes with sharp teeth and long snakes made a hissing sound and were rushing towards them, trying to swallow them whole.
Thinking about what I have done in the past year or so,
it really proves the saying, you are still helping count money after being sold!
The rain suddenly came down hard.
It was just drizzling, but in an instant, big raindrops fell, throwing up balls of yellow muddy soup, turning everyone into drowned rats in an instant.
"Hong Gong, help me up, let's go back first!" Or maybe the cold rain finally woke Wei Zhengdao up from his panic. Although his legs were still a little disobedient, his reason came back first. They were like this The embarrassing situation must not be seen by the soldiers below, otherwise rumors will inevitably spread. Not to mention the shocking news brought back by Wei Yi, even if Wei Zhengdao has a physical problem, it is enough to shake the morale of the army. shake.
Hong Zhan bent down, holding his hands up, and his true energy surged out. He did not touch Wei Zhengdao's body, but he had already helped him up, and then walked towards the way he came from. Wei Yi and a few others stood in front, also blocking Wei Zhengdao, whose footsteps were almost touching the ground as he moved forward.
"Is the news true or false?" After returning to the Tsuchiya, Hong Zhan still couldn't help but ask.
He approached Li Dachui privately and reached some deals with Li Dachui, but he could not imagine that Li Dachui's identity was so terrifying.
“The news was released by the Beiting Protectorate in the form of an edict to the world!” Wei Yi’s face turned pale. Apparently, he was also shattered by the news: “There are Li Zemin’s relics and Chang’s. The endorsements of heavyweights such as Princess Le and Yu Entai are already convincing enough, so whether it is true or false is no longer important.”
Hong Zhan was speechless.
Yes, is it true or false, is it that important?
Those who think this is true will naturally believe it. "Li Tai must have been killed by Li Dachui!" Hong Zhan glanced at Wei Zhengdao and said: "On that timeline, Li Dachui happened to be in Chang'an."
"Every step is... It’s planned!” Wei Zhengdao lowered his head, thinking about these two things. All the interactions with the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate over the past few years, many things that seemed scattered and unrelated in the past, are now strung together by a thread, like a sudden light in the dark mist. With a flash of lightning, all the truth was revealed to the world.
It's only now that I understand that it seems too late.
The Wei family has almost been sucked off by Li Dachui.
Countless property, technology, and manpower have been continuously imported to Shu County for more than a year. When doing this, I thought I was leaving a way out for myself and accumulating strength for a future comeback. , but never thought that he would be supplying a steady stream of his own blood to the enemy to quench his thirst.
Cutting meat to feed tigers is nothing more than this.
Now, what to do?
"Chief Assistant, I don't understand why the Beiting Protectorate chose this time to announce this matter?" Hong Zhan felt that his head was a little confused.
Wei Zhengdao sighed and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do? Of course I want to eat it up."
After all, he is the figure who has dominated the world of Qin for decades. , within a short period of time, he recovered from the extreme shock. Not only did he figure out the connection between the dots in the past, but he also understood why the other party did what he did at this time.
“They want to swallow up Hanzhong as well!” Wei Yi said bitterly: “Announcement of this news at this time will definitely cause shock to the military. You can imagine what will happen when this news spreads in Hanzhong. What kind of scene is this? They want to take advantage of the chaos to avoid being controlled by us in the future!"
"That's right!" Wei Zhengdao struggled to stand up and said, "Wei Yi, You immediately lead the most elite troops to set off overnight and rush to Hanzhong. We must stabilize Hanzhong. Our Wei family's life hangs on a thread, and this thread is tied to Hanzhong!"
"I'll leave right away!"
"How could the news of Beiting reach here so quickly? It was just planned in advance. If this is the case, someone will definitely add fuel to the flames and spread the news quickly. , Every moment is precious to us now! Go, go!”
Wei Yi didn’t say anything more, waved his hand, and left quickly with a group of trusted generals. After a while, The sound of drums suddenly sounded outside.
"Gong Wei, even if we control Hanzhong, what can we do? Are we surrounded by enemies from both sides?" Hong Zhan was worried. The army led by Linghu Shili had already chased him, but what he thought was reinforcements now turned out to be He also became an opponent. In the blink of an eye, it seemed that there was no way to heaven and no way to earth.
"Ling Huye is also Li Dachui's enemy!" Wei Zhengdao said calmly: "If we, the Wei family and the Kou family, were the masterminds of overthrowing Li Zemin, then why bother? Zudao and his son are the sharpest ones. Knife, and Linghuye is also one of many other knives. Will those who suffered in this incident be forgiven by Li Dachui? Will we become natural allies? "
"Make peace with Linghuye?" Hong Zhan suddenly realized.
"So we need Hanzhong! We need His Majesty the Emperor!" Wei Zhengdao turned his head and looked at the little emperor who was sleeping soundly on the bed without knowing what was going on, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
It was never his choice to surrender without mercy.
