Chapter 3776 Discouraged
Although Changsun Wuji only whispered subconsciously, Yuwenjie, who was close at hand, could hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in his heart - he and Fang Jun had been close to each other, and even met day and night, and they knew each other very well. none The fact that a handsome young man suddenly became a master of poetry and poetry, as well as an astonishing talent, already made people like him who knew him well find it absurd and unbelievable. Now, if he is more resourceful and strategic, he is as unpredictable as Changsun Wuji said. ……
It's scary to think about it.
However, those legends are just fiction after all. No one in the world has ever really seen such things. Zi Buyu has strange power and chaos. If his righteous thoughts are weak, evil thoughts will dominate.
However, he still couldn't help but feel incredible. The events in front of him were interconnected. It was obviously Zao Yuan. Everything developed exactly as he planned. Even Guan Long had not had time to put King Qi under house arrest. The lower class did not dare to harm King Qi in the slightest. All of this was taken into consideration and utilized to kill two birds with one stone. He not only rescued the King of Qi, but also allowed more than a hundred dead men to escape smoothly.
It’s incredible...
Things are too weird, and naturally the thought "This cannot be done by human beings, it is due to God's will" arises. How can human beings be so terrifying?
Yu Wenjie then said: "This may not be Fang Jun's plan. The battle in the north of the city has just ended, and King Qi has just realized that he may be in a bad situation. How could he collude with Fang Jun in advance and flee at all costs?"< br>
Changsun Wuji shook his head, rubbed his bulging temples, and sighed: "It doesn't matter whether Fang Jun planned it all. What matters is that once the King of Qi falls into the hands of the prince, he will definitely fight back and slander us to force him to usurp. Reserve position, this will be a fatal blow to Guanlong’s reputation.”
If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished.
Once the situation evolved into "the Guanlong clan forced the King of Qi to slander the prince, fabricated charges, and intended to depose the East Palace and control the government", Guanlong would immediately become the enemy of the entire world. When some things are hidden under the water, everyone knows what is going on, but they can pretend to be ignorant and indifferent, or even go along with the situation. But when these things are brought to the table, some rules have to be followed.
What are the rules?
Such as loyalty, such as filial piety.
Under the banner of "deposing the East Palace and bringing order to chaos", Guan Long listed the crimes of knowing the work one by one. Furthermore, His Majesty's intention to save money easily was known to the world. This gave everyone the right to rise up and rise up. It was to oppose the foolish prince and to comply with His Majesty's desire to be easy to save, not for myself.
However, when the King of Qi turned back and publicized their "crime" of "forcing the King of Qi to slander the prince", all their righteous reputations would become clouds and drift away in the wind. Guan Long's uprising of troops was a real "conspiracy to usurp the prince". The reserve position will bring trouble to the court."
If everyone finds and punishes rebellious ministers and traitors, Guanlong will become the common enemy of all people in the world,
At least in name only...
Yu Wenjie said: "The humble official has given an order to keep King Qi here no matter life or death!"
This is not a good idea. After all, King Qi is still the nominal successor candidate of the Guanlong Clan. If he is ignored and allowed to die in the rebellion, the Guanlong Clan will be charged with another crime.
But it’s the lesser of two evils, and I can’t care less about that.
Of course, if this is done, the King of Qi will also die in the rebellion. It is also a big question whether the Guanlong clan will give up and completely admit defeat, or whether it will appoint another candidate to compete for the reserve...
Changsun Wuji didn't realize Yu Wenjie's probing intention, or he didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "That's all. King Qi falls into the hands of the prince, and the consequences will be disastrous... Go and deliver the order quickly, the enemy has sneaked into the storage area. Burning grain and ignoring peace talks is the bottom line for training the Guanlong clan, and we will never allow any enemy soldiers to escape! "
Of course, you cannot issue an order like "King Qi must be killed in the rebel army", but the effect is the same.
"Here."
Yu Wenjie accepted the order, turned around and left. He took two servants and his son and rode to the door of Jinguang Gate, fearing that sending others would delay the important event.
Just after Yu Wenjie left, Yu Wenshiji arrived hand in hand with Linghu Defen, Dugu Lan, He Lanyan and others. The situation has been tense and changing rapidly recently. These people all live in the properties of each family in Yanshoufang so that they can reach Changsun Wuji nearby to discuss countermeasures in the event of an unexpected incident.
Tonight, a fire broke out in the storage area, waking up several people immediately. Then they all got up and dressed up, and rushed to gather here.
As soon as they entered the room, they were all shocked when they saw Zhang Sun Wuji looking like this. They all stepped forward and said, "Is the auxiliary machine okay? You must take care of yourself. You are our backbone, and we must not make any mistakes!" ”
Changsun Wuji had just drank the decoction, put down the medicine bowl, and sighed: "You can't do anything, you must make a decision immediately, otherwise the situation will be completely corrupted, and I will become the sinner of Guanlong. I agreed to all the conditions of the East Palace, and Guanlong will only retain one of the three provinces. , Six Parts No. 2, Disciples of Guanlong As long as Donggong agrees, he can immediately sign the contract document and disband all the private armies under the Guanlong clan, and promise that from now on, Guanlong will no longer support private soldiers. ! ”
He is also an outstanding figure of his generation, and his insight into the situation is unparalleled. Just from a fire outside the Jinguang Gate, he realized that Guan Long's morale had been depleted and the situation was reversed. If he could not cut off his strength and admit defeat as soon as possible, he would sooner or later reach a dead end. I want to abandon my son and admit defeat, but I can no longer do so.
Yu Wenshiji, Linghu Defen, and He Lanyan were all startled. They looked at Changsun Wuji in astonishment, unable to accept such a sudden change.
Although everyone knew that once the food outside the Yushi altar was burned, the morale of the more than 100,000 troops would inevitably collapse, but it was not difficult for each family to spend all their money to support it for a while. Peace talks are definitely necessary, but under this situation, peace talks with the East Palace are tantamount to groveling. All the conditions are allowed to be demanded by the East Palace. The private armies are disbanded and promised to never support them again. The backbone of the army - without soldiers in hand, wouldn't life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on the court and the emperor?
This is the most unacceptable condition for Guanlongmen Valve...
He Lanyan looked excited, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, you must not do this! My family still has tens of thousands of stones of grain and grain, so I can donate all of it to help achieve great things!"
He was not confused and knew that during peace talks with the East Palace at this time, the conditions of the East Palace would be harsh, and all kinds of restrictions would be like a noose around the neck of the Guanlong clan. It is absolutely impossible for Guanlong to implement the principle of equal distribution of these conditions within Guanlong. Those who will ultimately bear these conditions will be weak people such as the Helan family, and the Yuwen family, who is in charge of peace talks, and the leader of Guanlong The Changsun family, and even the Dugu family and the Linghu family with deep roots, will suffer the least restrictions and losses.
No one is truly impartial and selfless. In the face of foreseeable huge losses, it is inevitable to pass on the losses...
But for the wealthy family members such as Changsun, Yuwen, and Dugu, their ability to withstand losses is more than ten times greater than that of the Helan family. For them, the loss that breaks their muscles and bones is possible in the Helan family. It's a disaster.
It was impossible to make these powerful men act fairly, so in order to prevent the Helan family from bearing unbearable losses, he could only hope that Changsun Wuji would change his mind and fight to the end.
Everyone is afraid of death. How can you live if I die?
But if we all die together, it is reluctantly acceptable...
How could Changsun Wuji not know He Lanyan's thoughts? However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and all the ambitions in his heart were turned into ashes as the fire at the Rain Master Altar shot into the sky. He did not express any dissatisfaction with He Lanyan, and said warmly: "I had to cut off my hands and feet. I really had to do this. Ten More than ten thousand stones of grain were burned, This battle is certain to be lost, and the morale of the army is about to completely collapse. Maybe our clan can fight with all our strength, and we can all be destroyed. But don't forget that there is a wolf-like tiger-like Li Ji on the other side of Tongguan! ”
Li Ji's inclinations were unknown before, and he even secretly encouraged Guan Long to forge ahead, but it was clear that he had ulterior motives. However, at this moment, no matter how Li Ji plots, when all the food and fodder of the Guanlong army have been burned, the defeat has been determined, and the situation in Chang'an has become clearer, he will definitely fall to the East Palace, which has the advantage, and fight against the Guanlong clan. Add insult to injury and kill them all.
By that time, the Guanlong clan will fall into the abyss of eternal destruction, and whatever bloodline inheritance and clan inheritance will be turned into ruins among the golden horses and iron horses.
He believed that He Lanyan could weigh the importance of it.
Of course, the losses suffered during the peace talks should be distributed as much as possible to other small and medium-sized families to bear most of them. This is inevitable and will never change depending on whether He Lanyan and others agree or not. It is force majeure... ( End of chapter)
