C95 Capture and Hesse (1/2)
When the two soldiers took over the task and replaced Guan Yu, Xiao Wen and Guan Yu walked in front of Uncle Li.
”General, I didn't expect you to come personally.” Xiao Wen looked at Uncle Li and said with a smile.
Lieberkow lifted his armor, which made a jingling sound. Then, he waved his hand and said to Xiao Wen, ”The movement of your troops is too big, coupled with the illogical military requirements of the southern city wall, if I still do not sense that your trap is in the south, then I will disarm and return to the fields as soon as possible.”
Xiao Wen nodded. In fact, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all, when he and Cai Zhaozheng had planned this together, although they had kept it a secret from Heshen and the other Manchu spies around him, they had not hidden anything from Lee.
After all, regardless of whether it was an unconventional military order or a large movement of troops, Xiao Wen would never be able to overtake Uncle Li in his eyes when it came to these things.
One had to know that the generals of the Han Dynasty had quite a high level of control over the army.
Without this powerful military control, there was no way that the Han Dynasty could become one of the few super military empires in China's history.
”Speaking of which, shouldn't you hand over control of the army to me now? Or maybe, you still have something that you haven't completed? ” Uncle Li looked at Xiao Wen as he answered with a questioning tone.
As he spoke, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was somewhat curious.
Obviously, he saw that Xiao Wen still had an unfinished mission.
”General, I still have unfinished business to complete.” He pointed at Nalan Huo De and said, ”It would be too funny if the entire Qing Dynasty, on the basis of this idiot, wanted to collude with us and kill us all. They would take over the Cloud County and let the North fall. Therefore, there's actually an even more powerful mastermind controlling them from behind the scenes. ”
”Yes.” Lee Bo Ke looked thoughtfully at Nalan Huo De for a while and said, ”This is very risky. If it doesn't work, then just stop.” I know a few rangers in Guanzhong who are no better than the rats in the north. Making them bleed on the streets is a respectable way for anyone to accept it. ”
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment before reacting. This was Uncle Li's suggestion to use a ranger to kill Heshen, and let him die as the Grand Marshal of the Cloud County in the Darkhan Empire.
Normally, if someone dared to lay a hand on a county governor, the power backing him would definitely not let him go.
However, if they knew that He Heshen was the biggest spy in the kingdom, they would definitely not want to make a big deal out of it. They, who had chosen to make this a trivial matter, wouldn't pursue the matter of Xiao Wen ordering the rangers to kill.
After all, selling, betraying, weighing, and reaping benefits were things that had formed the political arena for thousands of years.
He believed that no politician would be willing to spend even the slightest bit of effort talking to someone who had no interest at all.
However …
Did Xiao Wen really want to see this kind of solution?
He remembered what He Heshen had done.
Remembering He Heshen's harm to the Han nation.
Recalling the insatiable greed of this treacherous official in history …
Xiao Wen felt that if this kind of person died in broad daylight without leaving behind any of the curses he should have, it would be a very ironic thing to do.
”Sorry.” Xiao Wen looked at Uncle Li and smiled bitterly: ”I am not a politician. If I can, I want to be a statesman who follows his heart and keeps moving forward for his own goals. ”
