MTL - Take Taobao to the Ancient Times-Chapter 1101 You arrive
"Your Highness!"
Zhou Qingyang didn't expect the Seventh Prince to stand at the door waiting for him, so terrified, he quickly dismounted.
"I guess you will come, what about the account?"
Zhou Qingyang nodded and followed the seventh prince into the big tent. The seventh prince sat in a high position and signaled his soldiers to retreat first.
"What does the letter sent to me by your Highness mean? Can you ask at the end?"
The seventh prince nodded, he could naturally ask. As the defender of Miancheng, he moved his whole body with a single move. Naturally, he could not act rashly with such a big move.
"Yes, I can also help you, but General Zhou, I want to ask first, you can trust me?"
Zhou Qingyang still believes in the Seventh Prince. He is not only his majesty's biological son, but also the guard of the border. There is no need to lie to himself, but the impact of this matter is too great, so he must be cautious.
"Does your majesty really want to abandon Miancheng? There are still tens of thousands of people and soldiers in Miancheng, don't you care about it?"
The Seventh Prince sighed, Zhou Qingyang was considered a rare pure minister, and he had never doubted Emperor Wu at this time.
"General Zhou, when I said this to you, I hope you will forget whose son I am. I am just a general and speak to you in this capacity."
The Seventh Prince's remark was a bit rebellious, but Zhou Qingyang understood it, and nodded, motioning him to say.
"Your Majesty, you should know the attitude towards human life. If he really cares about the lives of tens of thousands of lives in Miancheng, then I will not be guarding the border and fighting a group of civilians, and fighting so hard. ."
Zhou Qingyang sighed, knowing that the Seventh Prince was talking about Emperor Wu's murder of refugees. When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it, but what his Majesty did made people have to believe.
"Although your majesty has a bad attitude towards refugees, the people in Miancheng have no sins. Why are they abandoned?"
The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhou Qingyang. He didn't expect that he still didn't understand Emperor Wu's temper. No wonder he would stay in Miancheng for so long.
"Because of face!"
"face!"
Zhou Qingyang couldn't accept such an answer, and looked at the Seventh Prince in shock. Could it be that so many lives can't be compared to the top?
"How is it possible? This is a living life. Is it important to lose face?"
The seventh prince gave a wry smile, yes, anyone who heard this would not believe it, but he knew that the lives of these ordinary people were not as important as the face of their father.
"If you stick to Miancheng, can you hold Zheng Chi's army?"
Zhou Qingyang shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't defend it. Zheng Chishou's Shucheng was one of the most populous cities, and the Miancheng he guarded was just a small city with a small population, so naturally there were fewer garrisons.
"Naturally, I can't hold it. If Miancheng is now facing Zheng Chi, I'm afraid it will be impossible to resist hitting the stone with a pebble."
The Seventh Prince nodded, Zhou Qingyang was still very self-aware, knowing that Zheng Chi's army was numerous.
"If you can't hold Miancheng, then you are destined to be sacrificed, and then Miancheng will be held by Zheng Chi. At that time, at most people will say that you are incompetent and unable to guard the city."
Zhou Qingyang thought for a while. This is indeed the truth, but whether he is incompetent or not, Miancheng absolutely cannot resist Zheng Chi's army.
"But if your majesty ordered you to retreat from Miancheng and cede Miancheng to Zheng Chi, what would the world say?"
Zhou Qingyang only thought about it, and he was convinced of what the Seventh Prince said, "They will say that your Majesty is afraid of Zheng Chi, and give away such a city!"
"Yes!" The seventh prince nodded. Wasn't his father worried that he would give up Miancheng only if he was so worried?
"Even if they didn't think of it at first, wouldn't Zheng Chi not let it go? A good city was given to him without any guards. Do you think he would say that? The verdict of the people of the world is very useless. It doesn't affect anyone, but the words of the people of the world are very important. An emperor cares most about this!"
Zhou Qingyang has gradually sweated on his forehead. What the Seventh Prince said was really shocking, but it was really the truth.
"So, General Zhou, I hope you can listen to my opinion and withdraw all the soldiers and civilians from Miancheng. You should understand, which is more important, face or life!"
Zhou Qingyang nodded solemnly. After guarding Miancheng for so long, he naturally valued the lives of the people in the city.
"His Royal Highness, I forgive my subordinates for being rude, and I must leave first."
The seventh prince nodded, personally sent Zhou Qingyang out, and told him again, before he settled the big account with peace of mind.
"Send the letter to Wen Qihua, Wei Xianzu came prepared, his news channel was robbed, be prepared!"
Zheng Chi really arrived in Miancheng, and when the mighty army arrived at the soles of Miancheng's feet, it was like a dark cloud, crushed by darkness, and the people watching could not breathe.
"General, are we leaving?"
Zhou Qingyang looked back at Miancheng. Most of the people in the city had been quietly moved to the border or other cities, and now they were the only people left.
"Seal the city gates, and the scarecrows that you prepared before must also be prepared. The military flag must not fall easily. Ten rooms and nine empty spaces, do you understand?"
The soldier nodded. When they transferred the people, they had told them that nothing useful could be left to the other party.
"let's go!"
Zhou Qingyang finally looked back at Miancheng, which he had guarded for such a long time. He could have held here, as long as Emperor Wu was willing to send troops to support.
It's a pity that Miancheng is too small to be missed if you don't look carefully on the map. Such a small place will not make Emperor Wu's heart, and he will not consume his precious troops to come to support.
The Seventh Prince led people to meet Zhou Qingyang at the gate of Bianguan, and settled the people he had brought with him. In a blink of an eye, he found him looking at the direction of Miancheng with a sad expression.
"What is General Zhou thinking?"
Zhou Qingyang was yelled by the Seventh Prince so he pulled back from his thoughts and shook his head.
"I have one thing, I want to ask your Highness."
The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhou Qingyang, and probably understood what he was going to say, and motioned him to go to the big account to speak.
As soon as Zhou Qingyang walked into the big tent, he fell to his knees, and the seventh prince couldn't get up. "What is the general doing! Get up!"
Zhou Qingyang shook his head and brushed away the hands of the Seventh Prince. "His Royal Highness, I know it's a dead end, please take good care of this group of brothers for me!"
Zhou Qingyang abandoned the city and left. According to the law, he had to immediately decapitate his head, and his cronies would also be enrolled in death row camps as a death squad.
"General Zhou, this matter has not been finalized yet, why should it be like this now? In case your Majesty..."
Before the Seventh Prince had finished speaking, Zhou Qingyang cut off the conversation.
"His Majesty, your Majesty, don't even save the lives of so many people just to save his face. Now I abandon the city and give Miancheng to Zheng Chi. Will he keep my life?"
The seventh prince was stunned when he heard this, and put himself back in midair. Zhou Qingyang's words were right, and Emperor Wu really would not let him go.
"General Zhou, this matter is still inconclusive. Don't think of the worst outcome. This king and Wen Qihua will definitely intercede for you before your majesty."
Zhou Qingyang smiled bitterly, he was mortal, how could Emperor Wu, who cares about face so easily, let him go.
"His Royal Highness please agree to this request. As long as my brothers are well, Zhou Qingyang will die without regrets!"
The seventh prince sighed, and finally nodded. In fact, he was really not sure about this matter.
Wen Qihua looked at the letter from the Seventh Prince, and felt chills in his heart for the first time. He didn't expect Wei Xianzu to be such a person.
"what happened?"
Min Sheng had never seen Wen Qihua's expression before, and he was a little confused. Such an expression made him feel that something major had happened.
"The dark one!"
An Yi was also the first to see Wen Qihua's expression on the side. He had also met many winds and waves when he was young and famous, but he was always confident.
"grown ups."
Wen Qihua wanted to open his mouth several times, but felt that he didn't know how to say it. "Collect all our manpower and shops outside. Don't have any news exchanges during this period of time. All lines must be disconnected for me within a day!"
Min Sheng looked at Wen Qihua in surprise. What did he mean by this sentence? He snatched the letter from Wen Qihua, and after reading it, his expression was very subtle.
"It turned out to be like this! Wei Xianzu actually intercepted your communication!"
Wen Qihua nodded. This was the first time someone intercepted his correspondence. He didn't know whether Wei Xianzu only intercepted this time, or whether the interception in the past was not discovered by his own people.
"I underestimated the enemy. Wei Xianzu is very dangerous. I don't know how much he knows about us now or whether he has just started to take action now."
Min Sheng also suddenly felt cold, and Wen Qihua's correspondence had now gradually replaced his own intelligence network.
He always felt that the two intelligence networks really didn't have much effect, because the news they received came from a few people at the border, and there was really no need for Si Chichi and the others to write two letters.
But now it seems that Wen Qihua has obviously been targeted by others, and his intelligence network is no longer available.

"All the dark guards?"
An Yi didn't believe it. Their intelligence network was established by Wen Qihua in his early years. After such a long time, it has been very mature. How could it be intercepted so easily?
"Yes, all the dark guards, although we only know that Zhou Qingyang's line is intercepted at present, this line is actually the most insignificant, but if this continues, every step of our arrangement will be known by others, so we must all Clean again."
Anyi sighed. This was the first time that he was forced to purge all his forces.
"You go down and do it."
Anyi originally wanted to ask Wen Qihua again. After all, such a sudden cleansing is a very big thing for the organization, and it is not easy to be stable. But Wen Qihua said so, and he couldn't ask more.
"Wei Xianzu is indeed very dangerous, but Anyi's words are also reasonable. It is indeed a very big thing to clean all the dark guards."
Wen Qihua waved his hand. If the secret guards were not cleaned and re-planned, their news would only be intercepted again and again.
He is willing to take this risk, even if it is to temporarily suspend the power of the dark guard for a period of time, it is worth it.
"Wei Xianzu doesn't know when he will attack the dark guards, but what is certain now is that he already knows our situation very well. It is always easy to hide with a spear and difficult to prevent an arrow. If we are not careful in such a situation Beware, it will not only affect us at that time."
Min Sheng thought for a while. If Wei Xianzu has been using Wen Qihua as an enemy but has never revealed himself, then no one really knows how much news he has received.
"Master, the dark guard has been purged."
Wei Xianzu looked at the subordinates in front of him in surprise, and smiled. He didn't expect Wen Qihua to be so decisive.
"Everyone?"
Wei Xianzu nodded. For a while, all the news about the dark guards was gone. It seemed that they should have been cleaned up.
"Wen Qihua is smart, and it's not in vain that I spent so much time collecting news about him. It's okay. Go down. I will tell you what to do next."
After the people left, Wei Xianzu slowly stood up, opened the dark room of his room, and walked in.
For so many years, as long as he knew the news about Wen Qihua, he would stay in the dark room for a period of time in order to calm himself down.
He has never underestimated Wen Qihua, knowing that he is his own worst enemy, and every decision about him is only after thinking and thinking before ordering.
Wei Xianzu was in the dark room alone, enjoying the darkness. He hadn't been here for a long time.
After Wen Qihua became famous, after Wen Qihua took control of the government, for a long time, he did not act on Wen Qihua again, just watched all his actions coldly.
He looked at Wen Qihua's style of dealing with things over the years from the perspective of a bystander. Many times, he felt that he might not be able to do this well either.
Wei Xianzu gradually opened his eyes in the dark night, and his eyes, like a snake, looked bright in such a dark place.
He sneered, knowing that he would win with this move, but it was because Wen Qihua had never regarded himself as his hostile.
"Wen Qihua, I have used you as an enemy for many years, but you underestimated me like this, so... not good!"
Wen Qihua was also called sick for a while. If he had been sick for such a long time before, Emperor Wu would definitely be a little worried, but this time he seemed to have forgotten the existence of Wen Qihua.
Because there appeared a figure more loyal than Wen Qihua and comparable to him on the court.
"Wei Xianzu is not in the limelight right now, when are you going to come out?"
Sun Ruo looked at Wen Qihua anxiously. Their forces in the Sixth Department had already taken refuge in Wei Xianzu unsteadily. What they had to do was now even more difficult.
"Not urgent."
Wen Qihua leisurely traced the portrait in front of him, very attentive, as if he did not take Sun Ruo's words to heart.
"Are you in a hurry? Do you know how many of our people are left in the sixth? If this continues, you will have no chance to come out."
Min Sheng also looked at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Now that the cleaning of the dark guards has been completed, Wen Qihua has changed to a more effective and secretive method. In principle, there should be no need to worry about Wei Xianzu.
"Now that the cleaning of the dark guards has been completed, what are you waiting for?"
Wen Qihua finally raised his head and took a look at Sun Ruo and Min Sheng. Their eyes were full of anxiousness, which was too easy for others to catch.
"Don't worry, he is now in the midst of the sun, and the limelight is so high, coupled with your majesty's love, who can compete with him? Even if I take the shot now, I fight him hard with my current wealth, Do you think I can have an advantage?"
After listening to Wen Qihua's words, Min Sheng and Sun Ruo calmed down, thought about it carefully, and didn't speak any more.
"What are you going to do now? You can't just let him slowly climb higher and higher, right?"
Wen Qihua shook his head, naturally it was impossible for him to climb higher and higher, not only he refused, but Emperor Wu would not agree.
"He will not climb higher and higher, because his family background determines his position, and will never be as high as he imagined."
Wen Qihua smiled. Wei Xianzu is indeed a capable person. At least he was caught off guard, but his family background was his stepping stone and his stumbling block.
"How to say?"
Sun Ruo looked at Wen Qihua with some doubts. Wei Xianzu's family background is not worse than that of Wen Qihua at the beginning. Why doesn't he climb higher and higher?
"Because he is from a family of military commanders! The military commander is indeed the most important one in the country at this time, because there is war in the country now, but the military commander is now jealous of your majesty. There was a Wang family and now there is Zheng Chi. Do you think your majesty also tolerates others? The rise of the military commander family?"
Min Sheng nodded. According to Emperor Wu's suspicious temperament, it was indeed impossible for Wei Xianzu to rise to a position that could threaten him.
"Do you know why your Majesty allowed me to control the government for so long, but only cultivated different forces to suppress me, but never really attacked me?"
Sun Ruo glanced at Wen Qihua and said embarrassedly, "Because you are too insidious?"
Wen Qihua was choked by Sun Ruo's words, closed his eyes, and sighed. "Well, I admit that this is one of the reasons, but it is not the most important. What is really important is that he knows that I have no connection with any generals, and there are no generals under my faction that can be cultivated, a group of civil servants. In your majesty’s eyes, what is the use?"
Only then did Min Sheng understand why when he persuaded Wen Qihua to have a good relationship with the military commander in the DPRK, he just smiled and did not answer himself.
"What's more......Wei Xianzu is so smooth now, how can I go out and block others' way? At this time, avoiding the edge is the best choice. Wei Xianzu can because I have been living at home for so many years, he treats me As an opponent, how can I save his face? How can I lose weight if I don't climb high?"
Wen Qihua did analyze the current situation very accurately, and Wei Xianzu himself naturally understood such things.
The Wei family is now gaining more and more power in the DPRK. For a time, there is a constant stream of guests coming and going.
Wei Xianzu still thanked the guests behind closed doors and acted as if no one was contaminated, but Wei Mingqi was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was very happy to establish his own relationship among people.
"Now that Wen Qihua is declining, it's a good time for my Wei family to rise, but you don't seem to care about anything. Wouldn't it be said that my Wei family is overwhelming?"
Wei Xianzu glanced at Wei Mingqi, who was a little angry. He called several generals to the mansion today, and wanted him to go out to meet guests, but he didn't expect that he would not agree.
"Father, it's just a mob, why bother?"
Wei Mingqi slapped the table fiercely. He didn't know what madness Wei Xianzu had gone into. After waiting for so many years, he finally got to his current position, but he seemed to care nothing.
"You are faint! Those people are all important ministers in the court, but you treat them as a mob! You are crazy!"
Wei Xianzu sneered. Wei Mingqi had waited too long, and he had no patience. Now a little sweetness made him dizzy and forget his identity.
"Father, the child said something that is not acceptable. Now my Wei family is prominent, but don't forget, this world is your Majesty's world after all. If we step on foot, we will make a mistake. I'm afraid we can only wait for a paper edict. !"
Wei Mingqi looked at Wei Xianzu and knew what he meant, but after waiting so long, should he be cautious at this time?
"Xianzu, what on earth are you thinking? You have been dormant for so many years, didn't you want this moment?"
Wei Xianzu shook his head. He didn't want this at all. If he just wanted to get his current position, he didn't have to wait. As long as he was careful, how could he not get such a position?
"Father, you are wrong. The child is not for the current position. What am I now? A small military control is not as high as your Wei Guo Gong. If I want a position above ten thousand people under one person , Can’t you just wait to inherit your position?”
This is to say that waiting for Wei Mingqi to die and inherit his position by himself. This is undoubtedly cursing his own father. How could Wei Mingqi endure such words?
"Nizi!" Wei Mingqi patted the table fiercely. Although Wei Xianzu's words are true, such words really sound shocking.
"You are bold, you dare to curse your biological father!"
Wei Xianzu smiled. If he cursed him to death by saying something like this, wouldn't he have died on the battlefield many years ago?
"Why is my father angry? The child is just a joke. Now there are guests in the backyard. You should show your hospitality and don't neglect them. What's the point of telling the child about this here?"
Wei Mingqi knew that he couldn't persuade Wei Xianzu. He was angry again, and naturally he didn't want to say anything, so he turned and left, and met Mrs. Wei who had come to give Wei Xianzu soup at the door.
"master…………"
Before Mrs. Wei had spoken, she saw that Wei Mingqi's expression was very bad, and she was thinking about leaving quietly. Who knew that Wei Mingqi would not let her go.
"Bitch!"
Wei Mingqi slapped Madam Wei fiercely. Wei Mingqi has been a military commander for many years. After saying that he still has strength, he slapped Madam Wei to the ground with a slap, and the cup in his hand clinked to the ground.
