Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 174 Unsolved situation

Wang Chongying did not expect that there would be a mutiny at this time. From the moment he nodded, Wang Chongying understood that his time in Hezhong Mansion was over.

Without the support of the sergeant, he, Wang Chongying, is nothing.

Wang Chongying looked at Gao Sishan, full of regret in his heart, the biggest bargaining chip with the court has been lost, what will happen to him?Like his younger brother Wang Chongrong, who was killed?
He looked at Wang Gong again, this trash born by himself now had a terrified expression on his face, hunched over, not daring to look into the eyes of the soldiers, staring at the coffee table like an ostrich, as if he could see a flower on it .

It was Wang Chongying's youngest son, Wang Yao, the governor of Jiangzhou, who made people lift Wang Chongying's couch and wanted to carry his father out of the hall.

But the sergeant in front of her didn't give way, Wang Yao turned her head to look at Wang Ke, Wang Ke hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, it's very cold outside, I'm afraid it's bad for your health, so let's take care of it here!"

Wang Chongying was a little disappointed. From the beginning to now, Wang Ke didn't say a word of resignation. By this time, he had already regarded himself as the military governor of the National Defense Army.

"Ke'er, if you still think about the relationship between father and son, let me go back to Shaanxi for my father. I will give you all the foundation in Hezhong, what do you think?"

Wang Chongying knew that if he couldn't leave today, he wouldn't be able to leave Hezhong Mansion until he died. Just like the old lion who was occupied by the lion king, all his cubs would be killed by the new lion king.

He had no choice but to lower his face and beg for each other with the love of father and son. Wang Chongying knew that this was his only chance.

Of course, Wang Ke didn't want Wang Chongying to leave. Wang Yao was the governor of Jiangzhou, with one state's troops, and Wang Gong was the governor of Shaanxi Province, with two states' troops.

But Wang Ke didn't dare to be violent directly, his father Wang Chongjian died early, he was taken in by Wang Chongrong when he was young, and later he was taken in and promoted by Wang Chongying, all his wealth and honor were bestowed by the person in front of him.

Others can kill Wang Chongying, but he can't. If he does something rebellious, it will be a stain on him, and someone will definitely say it afterwards.

"Wang Ke even dared to kill his father who raised him. If he is so benevolent, what else can he not do?"

The soldiers were also in a dilemma. It was easy to kill Wang Chongying, but after that, it was hard to guarantee that Wang Ke would not settle accounts with their heads.

The atmosphere suddenly became dignified, and everyone looked at how Wang Ke would deal with it.

Wang Ke took a long breath. At this time, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. After thinking about it again and again, Wang Ke planned to retreat and advance, and walked in front of Wang Chongying and said:
"Father, today's matter is not what I want. It's just that the father is not in good health. I will take over for a few days. After your health is restored, father should still take charge of the overall situation!"

Wang Chongying let out a long breath, Wang Ke could say such words, he regretted it very much, why did he not realize until now that Wang Ke is just a [-]-year-old boy, and his hypocrisy is terrible.

At this time, Wang Chongying also cut off Wang Ke's thoughts.

He looked at Gao Sishan and Wang Rulin and said, "I'm old and sick. I just want to have a good death, and I don't want to die under the sword. You have been with me for many years. Can't you agree to this request?"

The two looked at each other in dismay. In the troubled times, everyone's first thought was to protect themselves and their families. The risk of letting Wang Chongying go was too great. Although the two felt compassionate, they did not dare to let go.

Gao Sishan thought for a while and said, "The imperial court ordered Wang Gong to return to Chang'an to defend himself. This matter was agreed by Jieshuai. I humbled and secretly thought that Wang Gong should stay here. I don't know what you think?"

As soon as Gao Sishan said his words, Wang Ke's eyes lit up. Taking down Wang Gong is equivalent to taking down the Shanguo army. Even if the father commander has the land of Jiangzhou, so what?
The same is true of Wang Rulin and other generals. As expected of He Zhong's ingenuity, he immediately opened up the unsolvable situation.

When Wang Gong heard this, his legs went limp from fright, and he crawled up to Wang Chongying.

"Father, don't! Son, don't go to Chang'an!"

"Father, my son will die!"

"Father, I beg you!"

Wang Chongying closed his eyes slightly, he was a little annoyed, Wang Gong was so unbearable, and he was also calculating gains and losses in his heart, if he insisted on taking Wang Gong away, no one would be able to escape, if he gave up Wang Gong, at least there would be Wang Yao, compared to Wang Gong Ke didn't dare to kill them all at this time.

"Let's go!"

The sergeant moved out of the way.

Wang Yao and Wang Chongying left the Jiedushi's mansion, but Wang Gong cried and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the soldiers who were staring at him.

He collapsed on the ground, a puddle of foul-smelling yellow urine dripping from his body.

The devil who tortured and killed so many innocent lives showed such an unbearable side at this time.

……

The drastic changes in the river did not surprise His Majesty the emperor, and the towns in the late Tang Dynasty were like this.For the court at this time, this is a huge opportunity!

"Your Majesty, Wang Gong is not dead. It is not easy for the court to take back Shaanxi. It is time to tell the world that Wang Gong has committed many crimes. He intercepted and killed officials ordered by the court. He should be resigned according to the law and beheaded to thank the world!"

Li Ye nodded, and the day after Kong Wei took Wang Gong back to Chang'an, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict to behead Wang Gong and abandon the city, ordering the Zuo Shence Army to station in Shanzhou and Guozhou.

On the same day that Wang Gong was beheaded, Wang Ke sent an envoy to ask the national army to save the envoy.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Wang Ke still doesn't understand?"

His Majesty asked Jing Xiang to write a letter to Wang Ke.

At the same time, the Right Shence Army and the Right Shenwei Army were ordered to approach Hezhong Mansion and camp on the road thirty miles away from Hezhong.At the same time, Zhu Zhen was ordered to lead the troops from the three capitals, to travel lightly, and to hide during the day and night in Tuomaling, the main road of Fenhe River leading to Jinzhou from Hezhongfu.

When Wang Ke saw the letter from His Majesty the Emperor, he looked downcast, and handed the letter to his confidant next to him, Jinzhou Si Cao Ding Fangzhou.

Ding Fangzhou opened it and took a look.

"...Hezhong guards the capital, the terrain is critical, your qualifications are still inexperienced, and you have no prestige in the army. How can you occupy such a high position? With your talent, it is very difficult to be a governor. I see your uncle's credit. What do you think of the appointment of you as the governor of Jinzhou?"

Wang Ke said: "The imperial court didn't grant me the festival, and now there are soldiers pressing down on the border, what do you think Ding Sicao should do?"

Ding Fangzhou said: "The imperial court is powerful, and the armies in the river are at odds and cannot fight. I humblely think that the emperor should follow the order and return to Jinzhou. Jinzhou is close to Taiyuan, and the emperor and Li Junwang have a son-in-law relationship. If you can borrow the east of the river Soldiers and horses, does your envoy have any worries?"

Wang Ke thought so too. When Wang Chongrong was alive, he had already given the dowry. Li Keyong betrothed his eldest daughter Li Youbai, who was only 12 years old at the time, to Wang Ke. Yushan's personal guards could not find out this secret.

At that time, Wang Ke disliked that Li Youbai was not the daughter of the first wife, and he himself was the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family, with two family backgrounds, and his family background was not weaker than that of Li Keyong, so he didn't care much about it all the time.

But at this point, the relationship is too important.

"A few days ago, my uncle sent an envoy to Hedong for this matter, but was blocked by strong people. This time, I can't miss it when I return to Jinzhou!"

Ding Fangzhou nodded.

The current situation in Hezhong Mansion is very delicate. One line is the original Shanguo Army with 1 people, the other line is Wang Ke’s Jinzhou Army with 5000 men, and the other line is the Hezhong Mansion Army under the personal control of Wang Chongying, with 3 people. Now he has taken refuge in Wang Ke.

As for the 5000 troops in Jiangzhou, Wang Ke did not stop them, and they were all brought back to Jiangzhou by Wang Yao.

How to bring these troops back to Jinzhou?

Wang Ke is in trouble again.
