Chapter 360 Falling out
"Hahaha, that scene just now was truly delightful. Did you see that, brother? When Han Xin read out the imperial edict, the expression on Wei's face was truly remarkable!"
"That idiot, relying on his former status as a worthless general, has always been against us, never letting us have an easy life. Now he's finally getting his revenge!"
"If you ask me, you are the commander-in-chief personally appointed by His Majesty. Why don't you take this opportunity to find a random excuse to punish him with a few dozen military sticks and see if he dares to act rashly in the future?"
After the discussion, everyone left the barracks one after another.
As soon as Wei Da walked out of the tent, he burst into laughter. Without saying a word, he went straight to Song Yuan with a grin on his face.
People who don’t know him would think they have found a treasure when they see him in such a state.
Song Yuan was infected by this emotion and laughed along.
"Brother Wei is right. However, this guy probably knows what I'm thinking and may not give us the chance to reward him with military equipment!"
"But if I'm deliberately making things difficult for no reason, I'm afraid my father will blame me if he finds out."
"That's right." Wei Da nodded, agreeing with Song Yuan's statement, but he suddenly became excited the next second!
"Don't worry. Judging from that birdman's personality, there's no telling how long he can endure."
"We will definitely have a chance later. Once we finish handling the city handover, we'll figure out a plan. If this birdman shows his teeth at you, you should punish him without hesitation!"
"I just don't believe it. Does this birdman feel scared after being hurt?"
Hearing what Wei Da said, Song Yuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Do you feel scared?
Don’t say you’re afraid!
If I really dare to deal with that guy named Wei in this way, General Wei will probably come after me immediately!
However, for Song Yuan, he now has a solid foundation and complete prestige. Even if he falls out with General Wei, it doesn't really matter.
At that moment, Song Yuan secretly made up his mind that if he, whose surname was Wei, could be smarter, then everything would be easy!
However, if this guy dares to show off again, once I catch the chance, I will give him dozens of military sticks no matter what!
Back at the residence, in such a lively atmosphere, Wei Da immediately suggested, why not liven up the atmosphere with some wine?
Song Yuan frowned slightly. After all, he had to do some serious business tomorrow, so he quickly spoke up to stop him. After much persuasion, he finally persuaded Wei Da to stop.
Wei Da also knew the involvement. Reclaiming the three border cities could not afford any mistakes. Although he failed to do so, he did not blame Song Yuan.
Say goodbye immediately.
After Wei Da's figure completely disappeared, Situ Jing came forward and asked Song Yuan.
"You were so confident before. Did you know that His Majesty would hand over the power to you this time?"
"It would be great if I were really that powerful!" After hearing Situ Jing's bizarre ideas, Song Yuan rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
"After all, I'm not a god. I know you worship me, but you shouldn't worship me to this extent, right?"
"I bother!"
Situ Jing rolled her eyes in annoyance, but the next second she suddenly changed the subject and said, "But if I were to tell you the truth, you're almost a god!"
"Think about it carefully. That Barbarian Princess is quite clever. Among the Barbarians, she would probably be ranked among the best. Yet, in the end, you managed to fool her. You are quite capable indeed!"
"Of course not? Don't you see whose husband I am?" Song Yuan was so impressed by the compliments that he almost laughed to the sky.
Seeing Song Yuan being so flamboyant and showing no sign of restraint, Situ Jing on the side couldn't help but curl her lips.
But deep down, he had already secretly agreed with Song Yuan's statement.
Deep down, Situ Jing had unknowingly developed a certain respect for Song Yuan.
However, with Situ Jing's personality, she could never say such words!
This brat was already so proud of himself, and if I continue to agree to this, he might even be unable to get up from the clouds!
However, Situ Jing also knew one thing.
Song Yuan's cunning was beyond everyone's imagination, and his various plans were as imaginative as a fantasy.
If one day, this huge Zhenbei Army could really fall under Song Yuan's control, perhaps, with Song Yuan's ability, he could really defeat the barbarians and force them to kneel down and beg for mercy!
That barbarian princess was clever, but she was totally wrong this time!
She wanted to use Song Yuan to cause civil unrest in the border areas, but she didn't know that Song Yuan was like a flame, which was totally out of control. If she was not careful, he would completely burn the barbarians!
"Stop pretending. I can see it from your eyes. Anyway, there's no one around right now. If you really admire me, just say it. I promise I won't tell anyone!"
Song Yuan gave a wicked smile and winked at Situ Jing, who glared at him unhappily.
"Go away! Look at your indecent appearance!"
Song Yuan laughed heartily, but suddenly said seriously, "By the way, tonight, send a few people to keep a close eye on Luo Jia. No one except our people is allowed to have contact with him!"
"Especially dry food and drinking water. Apart from what we brought with us, no matter who gave it to us, we cannot give it to Luo Jia!"
"Oh?" Situ Jing raised her eyebrows. "You don't suspect that the Wei man is going to attack this barbarian princess, do you?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's always better to be cautious!"
Song Yuan did not deny this statement, but his expression became more serious: "I know that doing this is a bit mean, but the more important the moment, the more we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake!"
"My father is extremely concerned about this matter, so I cannot let him down. I absolutely cannot let all my efforts go to waste!"
Song Yuan could imagine that with the imperial edict confirming his status, General Wei must be quite dissatisfied with him at this moment.
In order to make himself fall from the altar, the crazy General Wei might do something out of the ordinary!
In this situation, the most effective way to deal with me is to let that barbarian princess die in the military camp!
In this way, no matter how good the negotiations between Song Yuan and the barbarians were before, it would be completely meaningless without the princess!
Although it is unlikely that General Wei would do this, after all, there is no guarantee that the old guy has gone crazy!
It's always good to be on guard.
Situ Jing noticed Song Yuan's determination and nodded immediately: "Okay, I will personally arrange it now!"
……
At the same time, in the tent where General Wei was.
The furious General Wei returned in anger. Even after drinking several cups of tea, he still couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart!
He performed his duties conscientiously and guarded this bitter cold frontier with tens of thousands of people for almost six years!
What did I get in return after six years of hard work?
In these six years, General Wei had only returned to the imperial city once, but that was his home!
Doesn’t he miss his parents, wife and children at home?
He had paid so much, but in the end, His Majesty still didn't trust him!
Even the generals who had originally been convinced by him were now humiliating him in every way.
When did a general who commanded tens of thousands of people end up in such a miserable state?
In General Wei's opinion, the things he did recently might have been a bit too cautious!
But in the final analysis, what losses had been brought to Daqin because of his actions?
I clearly didn't affect the fighter's chances at all, so why would those people not submit to me?
Just because of a small mistake, all his previous achievements were wiped out.
Even a prince who has just arrived at the border for a few months can now ride on his head and shit on him?
The more General Wei thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt very aggrieved.
It's like a fire burning in my heart!
But now General Wei can't find any way to vent his anger!
In a fit of impatience, General Wei suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, General Wei's body trembled, and a crystal light flashed in his pupils.
No, I absolutely cannot just sit there and wait for death.
If he were in a passive position, Song Yuan would probably have to accept the entire Zhenbei Army!
Once that time comes, based on the conflict between him and Song Yuan, death will be waiting for him!
Moreover, His Majesty may have known his little secret. Even if Song Yuan can spare him, it is not certain that he will be able to let him go!
Something must be done, only in this way can I get myself out of the current crisis!
It would be best if...Song Yuan could die next time!
Yes, it’s not just Song Yuan, but also that bastard Wei Da!
If he hadn't brought people to contradict me many times, how could I have caused dissatisfaction among so many people?
As the saying goes, if you want to go all out, just let these two brothers go on the road together!
Anyone who offends you will have a bad ending!
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts swirled in General Wei's mind like a curse.
Once this kind of curse is born, it cannot be escaped no matter what.
Before he knew it, General Wei had fallen into madness.
Thinking of the end, General Wei's eyes turned red, and he would do anything to achieve his goal!
I asked myself again and again in my heart, what should I do to kill these two guys completely?
Not only will it kill them, but it won’t affect you either!
I absolutely cannot let them ruin my bright future!
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
Just when General Wei was going crazy, there was a sudden knock on the door.
This voice instantly interrupted General Wei's thoughts: "Who?"
Facing such questioning, Murong Lie's voice followed: "General, I came to see you!"
Thinking of what this person had done before, General Wei quickly adjusted his mentality, rubbed his face, and tried to make himself look normal.
Only after his expression returned to calm did General Wei wave his hand.
"come in!"
"Brother Murong, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"I just want to talk to you!" Murong Lie said as he sat down opposite General Wei.
"We're old friends, we've known each other for so many years. If I'm not mistaken, are you feeling particularly aggrieved right now?"
"Indeed!" General Wei nodded with some helplessness, then sighed.
"But as you said before, perhaps all of this is my own fault!"
"In the final analysis, you just forgot one thing: the so-called king's heart is always earned through fighting!"
Seeing that General Wei finally realized his mistake, Murong Lie shook his head with a sigh.
"We've known each other for so many years, and I know you well. I believe you are definitely not a coward!"
"Your biggest mistake is that you've been playing defense for the past few years. After playing defense for so long, you've forgotten how to attack!"
Faced with such a statement, General Wei's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"You're not me, so how do you know the pressure I'm carrying? If you were to sit in my position, you'd know what it means to be in a difficult situation!"
"On the one hand, I have to deal with His Majesty and protect the territory under my feet, and on the other hand, I have to be responsible to my subordinates and absolutely cannot let too many casualties occur!"
"Besides, wasn't the order His Majesty gave me to protect this small area of borderland before the spring? Isn't what I've done enough?"
Until this moment, General Wei still did not think that he had acted out of fear.
In his opinion, all this was simply too cautious!
After all, His Majesty had given the order first, and I had already completed the other party's instructions.
Murong Lie on the opposite side heard the reluctance in General Wei's voice and couldn't help but shook his head.
"I'm afraid that His Majesty didn't expect that the border would become so different with the arrival of Your Highness!"
"I know you're feeling unhappy, but I came here just to give you some advice!"
"We still have a chance. This war isn't over yet. The real bloody battle will begin in the spring!"
"All you and I need to do now is stay calm. Then we'll have the chance to achieve great things!"
"Don't worry, I understand!"
On the surface, General Wei nodded.
But in his heart, facing such a statement, he snorted coldly!
The beginning of spring?
Do I still have a chance to wait until that time?
Now Song Yuan is eyeing him covetously, wishing to swallow him up completely. I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Zhenbei Army will listen to him, Song Yuan!
By then, your rights will be undermined, and even if you want to resist, you probably won’t be able to do it!
No!
No matter what, I can't let Song Yuan's conspiracy succeed!
We must not let him continue to be so proud!
