C45 Squirrel Rebellion (1/2)
Wei Yutian was unconscious. Although he had consumed too much energy, his life wasn't in danger. However, after he regained consciousness this time, the energy in his body would definitely be able to suck him dry and thin.
The end of the war, be it for the citizens or the warriors of the two nations, was a matter to be congratulated on. No matter what, the death due to bloodshed was not the best solution to the conflict and desire.
After all, Qin Yong could not sign the agreement for the Anhui, so he and Nan Jifu could only reach an oral consensus.
There were many things that he needed to report to Nan Jifu in order for him to truly repent. The matter that caught his attention the most was naturally the crime of framing General Sun Linhu.
”Uncle, nephew is guilty, please punish me!”
”You have indeed committed many crimes. Let's talk about it after we return to Jinnan City!”
”No, while General Qin Yong is here, I have to return General Sun Linhu's innocence first.”
Lin Jingquan knelt on the ground. He was sincerely repenting, even if it meant death.
Nan Jifu did not speak. He also felt guilty towards Sun Linhu, he had never truly trusted him back then either. However, the other party had always been loyal to him.
Soon after, Lin Jingquan and Qin Yong completely explained the entire sequence of events, and finally restored Sun Linhu's innocence. They also decided to recuperate at General Sun's tomb and properly nurture his descendants.
After everything was over, Qin Yong first returned to the Huyue City, and a few days later, he directly led the remaining fifty thousand odd soldiers back there. However, Qin Yong also knew that if he went back this time, he would be in trouble. Not only did he not take down a city, he had even lost over forty thousand soldiers' lives.
Nan Jifu very quickly reassembled himself and went back to the Jinnan City. After that, he announced that he would study the Xiang Mu and the Chuan He Guo, and remain neutral in this chaotic world, believing that the people would benefit the entire nation. There were no martial generals within the city, so there were naturally no objections.
As for Wei Yutian, he was in a coma for a long time. During this time, he had also arranged for a maid to take good care of him.
Wei Yutian who had gone mad with Daoist Cha had already been taken care of by someone, and then quietly disappeared. However, in reality, he was secretly observing the other party's situation. He hoped that the other party would be treated well in the future and recover his consciousness. At that time, he would truly be able to follow them.
The next ten days were peaceful and peaceful until Jinnan led his troops back to their country. Then, everything changed.
Your Majesty, this subject is truly puzzled, why did you give up on the West Qin Nation that we painstakingly captured with our own blood?
Hu Xiong was originally an extremely loyal general who wasn't ambitious at all. After entering the Great General's position, he didn't even need to be renowned for a thousand years, and he was completely in the state of being wherever Nan Jifu pointed at.
That was why when he heard that Nan Jifu wanted to give up the Western Qin Empire, he did not have a good control over his fiery personality and actually spoke out against the Jinjiang's Emperor, Nan Jifu.
Even so, in the end, it was to contradict and doubt the Emperor, causing those courtier who were already dissatisfied with Hu Xiong to privately ask Nan Jifu for advice, wanting Nan Jifu to take away his military power. Otherwise, if Hu Xiong were to continue doing so, he would definitely become a threat to Nan Jifu.
However, many of these advice were heard by Hu Xiong.
”Great General, all these years we have fought for His Majesty and fought for him. We did not expect that His Majesty would want to strip us of your military power. This really makes our hearts tremble!”
Tao Yong, who was one of the deputy general, was an old man who had been through many battles with Hu Xiong, and was also Hu Xiong's trusted aide and trusted general. Although he had unparalleled intelligence on the battlefield, he did not understand the politics of the imperial court.
”General Tao is an honest and straightforward general, but he doesn't understand politics at all. His Majesty's actions were not unreasonable. To give up the war and remain neutral meant that he had to ensure the balance of power between the imperial court and the imperial court. And with three hundred thousand soldiers from the Great General, not only will it make those people who have ulterior motives in the dynasty uneasy, it will also make His Majesty uneasy. ”
The one who spoke was Hu Xiong, the first person to join the army, he had his own understanding of the situation in the imperial court and the battlefield.
Hu Xiong was a little annoyed by their conversation, and said: ”This is just a rumor. I have been following behind His Majesty for many years, so His Majesty probably won't do such a thing. Furthermore, even if we are to remain neutral, we must prevent other countries from invading us.
It would be weird if Hu Xiong wasn't worried. After all, other than managing the army, he didn't know anything else.
”The Great General has to be on guard, I wonder which side His Majesty is singing, he has always been ambitious and wants to rule the Central Plains. But now, my nature has changed. If I were to say that there is no conspiracy behind this, I wouldn't believe it anyway. ” Duan Zhi said.
These words had actually connived with the other soldiers, causing some of the full-time officers to nod in agreement.
