Years of expectations were about to become reality, but Wang Chongwen suddenly lost the slightest joy in his heart.W     wくW★.

くC          MWith Xie Bozhi's threading thread, Wang Chongwen met Guan Suo on the Shanshuitai. Wang Chongwen didn't want to see him at first. He knew that Guan Suo's purpose of this trip was Li Qing's intention. Long Mingyue, Hao Zan and others were naturally happy to see him. If he let Yang Hao go, he would undoubtedly offend these people. Long Mingyue, Hao Zan, it would be fine. The key is Li Qing, how will he explain to her?

Wang Chongwen almost met Yang Hao several times because of Li Qing's incident, but Wang Chongwen still appreciated Yang Hao's behavior. This is also the fundamental reason why he has been able to withstand the pressure of all parties and never conflicts with Fengzhou head-on.

Wang Chongwen was not a city guard. Although he had his weak side in nature, the young man's heart, his territory was expanded and his achievements were still surging. Since taking charge of Shuofang, he has rectified his military preparations and enriched the Hyogo. In a few years, he fought east and west, and continued to recover some towns and forts seized by Tubo, Shatu and Uighurs. The military appearance was so strong that even the Tubo people, who had been many years, had to admire him. The Buddhist Zamp Keli Kezu and his favored monk Bo Chanbu sent envoys to Lingzhou to discuss border friendly trade affairs three times in a row.

Fengzhou was originally a land under Shuofang, and it occupied an extremely important geographical position. The time for regaining Fengzhou was very ripe, but Wang Chongwen delayed it again and again, and finally gave up his plan to send troops north to recover the old land. He was not afraid of Yang Hao, nor did he have no confidence in his army. He did not want to kill each other within his own people.

Tubo has begun to decline, and Wang Chongwen has always wanted to restore the towns in Longxi that they occupied by them in the Anshi Rebellion. Shuofang is a big town, but in the face of a huge empire with a population of 8 million and a army of 400,000, Wang Chongwen still felt his insignificance. He did not want to consume all his limited power in the endless struggles within.

But this time, he had to do this. Li Qing was the female voice in his heart. Her words were equivalent to an imperial edict to him, and every word was worthy of his life to complete. Li Qing asked him to arrest Yang Hao, but he arrested him without thinking.

After Yang Hao was taken to prison, he felt very guilty. When Xie Bozhi persuaded him to see Guan Suo, Wang Chongwen was even a little nervous. He really didn't know what he should say to Guan Suo.

That night, he only brought Xie Boyi to see Guan Suo. Before the trip, Xie Boyi asked him to bring more guards to make the plan safe. Wang Chongwen refused. He expected that Guan Suo would not be disrespectful to him.

Guan Suo was dressed in casual clothes and was waiting in the West Wind Hall under the mountains and rivers. Wang Chongwen did not expect that Guan Suo, who was so omnipotent in the legend, was such a young and elegant boy. The two of them felt quite like they were right at first sight. After a few greetings, Guan Suo directly told him about his intentions and asked Wang Chongwen to release Yang Hao.

Xie Bozhi heard this and hid aside with excuse from Wangfeng. He wanted to leave a way out for himself. According to his understanding of Li Qing, this golden branch and jade leaves will soon become Shuofang's definite mistress. If she pursues who let Yang Hao go in the future, she must not chase this account to himself.

Wang Chongwen smiled when he heard this, looked at the young man in front of him again, and asked back: "I want to hear, what reason do you have to let me release him."

Guan Suo said: "Your Highness the Princess was angry with Lord Yang because of Yang Kai's death, and was instigated by Jin Taoyin, so he designed to harm Lord Yang. As for the grudges between Your Highness the Princess and my family, I won't say much. I believe the Young Marshal has heard of it."

Wang Chongwen nodded and did not deny that he knew clearly the little relationship between Li Qing and Yang Hao and Yang Kai. Whether Li Qing really took his anger on Yang Hao because of Yang Kai's death, or there was another hidden truth, Wang Chongwen did not dare to draw a conclusion for the time being. But Guan Suo counted all the reasons on Li Qing, which made Wang Chongwen a little disgusted, so he said:

"So what? Lord Yang really angered His Highness the Princess. If she wants to let out this breath, I have to help her."

"In order to make His Highness the Princess exclaim, I asked my elders to unjustly undo the Spiritual Martial Arts. What consequences will this lead to? Haven't the young marshal ever thought about it?" Guan Suo was very nervous.

Wang Chongwen pretended to be surprised and said, "I want to ask General Guan for advice."

Guan Suo took out a letter paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Chongwen: "This is what Lord Yang gave me before he set out to escort the princess south. It is equally valid." Wang Chongwen felt something was strange, so he hurriedly opened the letter to watch it, with only two lines of words on it: "This time I went to Lingzhou may be harmed by a traitor. If I am in trouble, the generals of the Xining army will avenge me, and the one who can succeed the lord of Fengzhou." This is the warrant left by Yang Hao to his two confidants, one in Guan Suo and the other in Zhu Qi's hands.

Wang Chongwen naturally understood the weight of this warrant. His face changed slightly. He handed over the Yang Hao warrant to Guan Suo and said with a smile: "Since Lord Yang has long been in such a disaster, why do you still have to take risks alone?"

"We are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. When Chang'an was in trouble, he had a princess to rescue him. He always remembered this kindness in his heart, and his desire to repay him has not yet been extinguished. In the early years of Kaicheng, Qiu Shiliang sent Bo Zhongyan to lobby the young marshal, and used the princess' marriage to Lingzhou as a condition to exchange for the young marshal to send troops to attack Fengzhou. This matter was left unresolved because Dong Bacheng defeated Feng'an.

"But she saw the crisis, she sent Jin Taoyin to Feng'an to meet the Lord and asked the Lord to try to deal with it. The Lord was grateful for his old kindness, but he didn't want Qiu Shiliang to form an alliance with the Young Marshal to deal with Fengzhou, so he went to Chang'an to receive Yang Kai from Feng'an, hoping to cultivate him to establish military merits and become the princess's son-in-law in the future."

When Wang Chongwen heard this, he felt uncomfortable all over. He also heard about Yang Kai leaving Beijing to Fengzhou and made many speculations, but it was difficult to understand the mystery.

"Then Yang Kai was originally a detailed work in the Judicial Hall, but he was assassinated shortly after arriving in Fengzhou. The case is still unresolved, and it is impossible to find out who the real murderer behind the scenes. His princess was sad and dissatisfied with us. At the beginning of the year, Qiu Shiliang quelled the Jiannan Rebellion and he wanted to concentrate on solving the matter in Fengzhou.

"He also knew that the Xining army was no longer the same as before, and the Shence Army that was used to being arrogant and extravagant might not be able to get it. So he brought up the old matter again and still wanted to win over the young marshal. The best way to win over the young marshal is to marry His Highness Princess Yichun to Lingzhou. Before the official operation of this matter, he deliberately revealed Yang Kai's true identity to His Highness Princess.

"The Judgment Hall and the Mass Camp have been fighting each other for many years, and it is already well known to everyone. Yang Kai from the Judgment Hall died suddenly in Fengzhou controlled by the Mass Camp. Isn't it interesting to me? Sure enough, the princess was fooled and she believed that Yang Kai's death was planned by us, and she was determined to avenge the dead Yang Kai."

Speaking of this, Guan Suo paused for a moment and asked Wang Chongwen: "I wonder if the young marshal sent someone to investigate the truth about the princess Yueye being robbed?"

Wang Chongwen said: "The truth I know is that those Shatu people are pretending to be. Mr. Long, General Hao and more than a dozen soldiers from the Jinwu Guard can testify. Do you dare to say that these have nothing to do with Lord Yang?"

Guan Suo said: "They are all my subordinates. All this is done according to the princess's own wishes. The young marshal can doubt it, but it is the fact that the princess's revenge plan has been unfolded from this. All details are linked together, and I have led my adult into the set trap step by step and captured my adult in the colorful shed in Wuhai City."

Wang Chongwen refuted: "Don't put all the sins on the princess."

Guan Suo angrily shouted: "This is the case, how can you argue?"

Wang Chongwen breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking. He said that Yang Hao kidnapped the princess, and this kind of speech was too weird and incredible. What benefits could Yang Hao do to him? Wang Chongwen has never sent anyone to investigate the truth about being robbed. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the cruelty after the truth was revealed. Instead of asking for trouble, it is better to cover the lid and never open it.

"It's time for this, hasn't the young marshal understood it yet? This is completely his princess designing revenge on my grandfather." Guan Suo pressed over step by step, but he also knew in his heart that it was not that he had convinced Wang Chongwen, but that Wang Chongwen had seen all this clearly long ago.

"If Lord Yang was in trouble with Lingzhou, the 20,000 Xining army would immediately gather southward. By then, more than ten states in Shuofang would become a scorched earth."

Wang Chongwen sneered: "You may not overestimate yourself, right?"

Guan Suo said: "Whether it is overestimated, the young marshal himself knows it. Just a few days ago, at the Jiahekou north of Wuhai City, the five thousand flying fish army in Hu Shide fought against our two battalions. You are waiting for your time, but as a result, two thousand people were almost wiped out by one thousand of my 1,000 people, while less than three hundred casualties were killed or killed in our unit. The flying fish army is the elite among the elites of Shuofang. Even if the flying fish army is like this, the other troops in Shuofang are probably not much better, right?"

The two thousand flying fish army's defeat in Jiahekou has become a heart-wrenching problem for Wang Chongwen. Lou Heyan and Hu Shide were called Shuofang's two gems, and they were the backbone of the Shuofang army. After Hu Shide returned from defeat, he told him that the Xining army was no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, and its combat power was very fierce. The Shuofang army should not be confronted with him head-on.

Lou Chuan also concluded that when Shuofang's army was five times the Xining army, it could only fight in one battle. It was less than this number to go to fight to the battle. How many Xining army had? Guan Suo said it was 20,000. Wang Chongwen's information showed that it was nearly 20,000 army, about 60,000 civilian army, about 20,000 servant army, totaling nearly 100,000. Shuofang could not afford 500,000 people, not to mention 500,000 people, even if it was 500,000, it was difficult to get all of them. Moreover, the west of Shuofang was Tubo in the west. The relationship between the two families was good and bad. Who could guarantee that when they were in the Xining army, the Tubo people would not take advantage of the situation to rob.

Before his wings were full, he would not fight with an army like the Xining Army with high technical and tactical skills and rich combat experience. Wang Chongwen thought of compromise. Although he was a little unwilling to accept it, he really couldn't think of a better way. He could not destroy the efforts of several generations of the Wang family just because he married a princess.

Lingzhou really had a conflict with Fengzhou, and the only one who benefited was Qiu Shiliang, who was hiding behind the scenes, who used conspiracy.

"I can let Lord Yang go, but he must give me two promises. First, I promise not to invade Shuofang and the border of Chenjian. Second, you should not contact Quze's tribe anymore and give Quze's tribe to Shuofang."
