Chapter 655 Detention
Na Wei's face was as gloomy as if it was about to drip. He looked at Xiong Yi and Zhou Zheng and said word by word: "You two, I just received the latest information. Tong'an County has been lost! But you two don't seem surprised. ?”
Xiong Yigong cupped his hand and said, "Since the navy's defeat, the prince withdrew his troops from Ruyin County and returned to Danyang. With Tong'an County fighting alone, it would only be a matter of time before the enemy fell. We have been mentally prepared for a long time, so when we heard This news is not surprising at all”
Na Wei was so angry that he laughed: "So, I am still responsible for the fall of Tong'an County?"
"I don't dare!" Xiong Yi said calmly: "Xiong is not familiar with military affairs, and the prince is a military master, so he can make his own judgment!"
Na Wei snorted, looked at the two of them, and said: "If Tong'an County shrinks its troops and waits for reinforcements, we can relieve the siege when tens of thousands of reinforcements from the southwest arrive. However, Xiang Ying did not listen to a certain family's advice and forcibly Breaking through, Li Dachui and Jiang Qian caught the flaw and broke through with one blow."
Zhou Zheng looked at Na Wei angrily.
Na Wei obviously has tens of thousands of southwest wolf soldiers in his hands, but Na Wei uses these people to firmly control Danyang and its surroundings. The so-called tens of thousands of reinforcements are still gathering in the southwest. When they are thousands of miles away, Come to rescue Tongan County?
Na Wei just didn't want Xiang Ying to return to Danyang.
"Now that Tong'an County has been defeated, Yan Cheng surrendered, but Xiang Ying was intercepted by Li Dachui and others during the breakout process, and died in Tong'an County!" Na Wei said.
"What? Impossible!"
"Where did the prince hear the rumors?"
Xiong Yi and Zhou Zheng didn't believe Na Wei's words at all. The defeat of Tong'an was already expected, but Xiang Ying had already decided to leave. For an innate master to leave the army and leave alone, there are many people in the world. Who can stop it?
"Rumors?" Na Wei sneered: "I have confirmed that Xiang Ying is dead. Will I still joke with you about such a thing?"
Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered Chen Yan who he met outside the palace.
Thinking of the frequently mobilized southwest wolf soldiers they saw before entering the imperial city.
Zhou Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and Zhou Zheng looked at Na Wei in disbelief.
"The assistant king mobilized the wolf soldiers to deal with the Xiang family?" Zhou Zheng said loudly.
"Losing an army, losing land and humiliating the country, how can one die to atone for one's sin?" Na Wei's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze on ice: "Tens of thousands of people in Tong'an County fell into the enemy's hands, and the navy was defeated, so we lost control of the great river. Shouldn’t Xiang Ying be responsible for all of this? You must know that Xiang Ying arranged all these wars himself.”
"Prince Assistant, I think you should think more carefully!" Zhou Zheng said carefully: "You have been in the southwest for a long time, so you may not know the influence of the Xiang family in Dachu. Let's not say who the general is. Even if he is really dead, the strength of the Xiang family is still second to none in our great Chu. To touch the Xiang family without permission is to shake the foundation of the country!"
Na Wei looked up to the sky and laughed: "I only know that the emperor of Da Chu is named Xiong. If the Xiang family wants to shake the foundation of the country, then I will kill them all!"
"No!" Xiong Yi shouted: "Your Majesty, the Chu State is in a precarious situation at the moment. We should be in the same boat and help each other. How can we kill each other? This is only painful for those who are close, and quick for enemies!"
"His Majesty issued an order to require Xiang Ying to defend Tong'an County. Xiang Ying acted boldly and refused to comply with the order, which caused serious consequences and put our country in Chu into an extremely unfavorable situation!" Na Wei said calmly: "According to the law and regulations, we will do it ourselves. There must be a strict investigation, otherwise how can we explain to the families of the tens of thousands of soldiers who were trapped in Tong'an County? Will no one take responsibility for such a huge defeat?"
Xiong Yi and Zhou Zheng bit their lips, speechless.
Na Wei occupied the moral high ground,
Na Wei, who returned to Danyang first, issued an order in the name of the emperor for Xiang Ying to defend Tong'an County and not retreat.
At that time, neither Xiong Yi nor Xiang Ying nor even Zhou Zheng cared.
Because they believed that as long as Xiang Ying himself came back, everything would be solved. They never thought that Xiang Ying would not be able to come back.
And looking at Na Wei's completely broken face now, I'm afraid Xiang Ying really died in Tong'an County.
"However, I care about the Xiang family serving the country for generations, and I don't want to go too far!" Na Wei looked at the two people, but suddenly changed his tone and said: "Although the people who captured the Xiang family are The action must be carried out and the investigation must be started, but I intend to let Mr. Xiong be the chief judge. I wonder if Mr. Xiong has this intention?”
Xiong Yi raised his head angrily.
Na Wei smiled and said: "If Mr. Xiong feels that he is old, lacks energy, and is unwilling to take on this matter, then it doesn't matter. Zhu Chizhu Shilang volunteered and volunteered to take on this position."
"I am willing!" These four words seemed to come out one by one from deep in the chest.
That Wei has a sinister intention.
Driving a wedge between the Xiong family and the Xiang family is a secondary matter. The Xiong family is not deeply entangled with Na Wei, nor can it be provoked by a simple stratagem like Na Wei. The key to the matter is that if Xiong Yi is allowed to Serving as the chief officer to handle this matter will give everyone in the Xiang family the illusion that this matter will be settled.
But Xiong Yi knows how can things be so simple?
I am afraid that as the chief officer, I am just a nominal one. The one who really does this is Zhu Chi, whom Na Wei just mentioned.
And this idea must have been given to Na Wei by Zhu Chi, with the purpose of delaying it for a few days.
Xiang's reaction was a little slow, and he would definitely suffer heavy losses this time.
In Xiong Yi's view, Xiang's loss is Da Chu's loss.
Hearing Xiong Yi's agreement, the great man laughed: "Mr. Xiong really understands the righteousness. That's great. I have prepared a place for rest and work in the palace for Mr. Xiong. In the next few days, Mr. Xiong will have to work hard. ”
"In the palace?" Xiong Yi was shocked and angry. Was he trying to trap himself in the palace?
"Of course, the Xiang family is so powerful, and no one involved is an ordinary person, so we people have to gather together. If there is any situation, we can discuss and make decisions at any time, without losing time and delaying It's a big deal!" Na Wei said: "Mr. Xiong only needs to make a big decision and let people like Zhu Chi do the specific actions. Hahaha!"
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and bowed: "Your Majesty, Tong'an County has fallen, and Xuan'an County has been established as the front line against the temptress. As the governor of Xuan'an County, I should go to the front line and coordinate the command!"
Na Wei waved his hand: "Don't worry at this moment. Mr. Xiong is old and sometimes he is not energetic. Commander Zhou has always won the trust of Mr. Xiong, so he just needs to help him first. Don't worry, it won't take a few days. Those who captured Xiang's family in Beijing at once There are not only Zhu Chi but also Chen Yan. In addition, as Jiang Chonggong is supported by force, nothing will go wrong. It will be over soon. After the arrest is completed, it will not be too late for Governor Zhou to take up his post! "
Zhou Zheng lowered his head in despair.
Summoning Xiong Yi and Zhou Zheng into the palace this time was a deliberate detention.
But Zhou Zheng couldn't figure out why Xiang Ying died? Why did Na Wei get the news so quickly? Theoretically speaking, it is more likely that Xiong Yi and himself will get the news first.
Unless...
Zhou Zheng suddenly looked up at Na Wei, only to find that Na Wei was also looking at him and smiling,
That smile was extremely proud.
