betray
"Fu Gongyou has already talked with my father, and he expressed his willingness to support my father with all his strength!" Next to the quiet and uneasy fire, the pale face of Shen Luoyan looked like a jade carving under the swaying firelight...
But what she said made Du Fuwei feel like falling into an ice cave. Fu Gongyou was his best brother and the deputy commander of the Huainan Army. The two were in love with each other. When Du Fuwei was so poor that he had no food to eat, Fu Gongyou went to steal sheep for him. As a result, because he was discovered by the government, the two brothers had to gather people to stir up trouble. After the two brothers fought all the way to the southeast, gradually establishing a great reputation.
He still remembered that he called himself the chief supervisor at that time, and Fu Gongyu was the chief minister. Because Fu Gongyu was older, Du Fuwei kept calling him a brother, and the soldiers in the army called him a Fu Bo. The two fought in Jianghuai and shared life and death for many times. It can be said that they were no longer brothers but better than brothers.
Later, Du Fuwei surrendered to the Wang family, and relied on the power of the Wang family to merge Miao Haichao, Li Zitong and other Jianghuai uprising troops. Their power increased greatly and their prestige increased greatly. However, at that time, Wang Zhihui began to plant the Wang family's confidants in the Huainan army. The Huainan army was originally a confidant who was trapped by various generals and the Wang family. One side was a rebel peasant, and the other side was mostly a family of aristocratic families. The two sides did not buy each other, and in the end they became even more powerful. In the end, Miao Haichao and Li Zitong rebelled one after another. If Du Fuwei had not survived several times, he would have lived to this day.
The two rebellions of Miao Haichao and Li Zitong greatly reduced the strength of the Huainan Army. Wang Zhihui also intervened one step closer to the Huainan Army. Wang Zhihui used Du Fuwei's adopted son Kan Ling as the left general, Wang Xiongdan as the right general, while Wang Bao of the Wang family was the former general, Wang Yan as the latter general, and Wang Mao as the lieutenant general. However, he also promoted Fu Gongyou, the brother of Du Fuwei, an important figure in the Huainan Army, as the deputy commander, named Zun Chong, but in fact he was exhausted. From then on, he successfully provoked Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, which made a crack between the two originally closest brothers.
Later, Du Fuwei also explained to Fu Gongyou several times, but the gap always existed, and the two could no longer return to the intimacy of the past.
At this time, Du Fuwei heard that Fu Gongyou had turned to Chen Faxing without talking to him, and his heart was completely disappointed and all kinds of feelings flashed through his heart. For the first time, he felt a sensation of blood flowing from his heart. If it were the past, such a thing would have never happened, and Fu Gongyou would have discussed it with him first. But now, he would not have notified himself and reached an agreement with King Chen Faxing of Wu, and he did not even tell him afterwards.
"How could he do this?" Du Fuwei murmured himself, over and over again, until now, he couldn't believe that his best brother would betray him.
Chen Luoyan stared at him, "One is your adopted father, Wang Zhihui, and the other is your good brother, Fu Gongyu. You can only choose one of two at the moment, probably you feel embarrassed? Maybe the same is true for Fu Gongyu. Fu Gongyu and Wang Zhihui have been in a disagreement for a long time, which is well known. At the moment, private hatreds and public grievances are combined, so he will stand up and oppose Wang Zhihui. You are Wang Zhihui's adopted son, so he didn't tell you."
"Don't distinguish him, no matter how you distinguish it, it's useless. Can't my brotherly relationship with him for more than ten years be exchanged for his trust?"
"What should you do? You only have three or two defeated soldiers in your hands now, and Fu Gongyou has 80,000 soldiers in your hands. Moreover, the King of Wu and the generals still have 180,000 soldiers in your hands, so you have to think clearly!"
"If I don't agree with your plan, what do you plan to deal with me? How will Fu Gongyou deal with me?" Du Fuwei's face was full of loneliness, and his tone was indescribable. At this time, he felt that the betrayal and hurt he was suffering was even more powerful than the arrow on the battlefield in Yingchuan.
Chen Luoyan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If you refuse to act according to our plan, the King of Wu will transfer Fu Gongyou to bring the 80,000 Huainan army to stop you from going south. You must know that among the Huainan army, his reputation is second only to you. And you have just lost the battle, and your adopted son Kan Ling, Ximen Junyi and other generals have been injured but have not healed. If you really want to start, you will definitely not be Fu Gongyou's opponent."
"He dares, how dare he dare, how can he do this? Brothers who have been doing this for many years?" Du Fuwei, the young man, had a flushed face with excitement and blue veins.
"General Du, sometimes, don't believe and expect these things too much. You two established the Huainan Army, but you have always regarded you as yours for years, and he may not have complained. But when you chose to join the Wang family, he didn't agree. Later, the Wang family used you more, but underestimated him. Do you think he is really only dissatisfied with Wang Zhihui, but never dissatisfied with you?" Chen Luoyan's words were like a needle piercing Du Fuwei's heart, making him tremble in anger.
a long time.
"Forget it, forgot!" Du Fuwei sighed, "What do you want me to do?"
Chen Luoyan finally compromised when she saw a tough guy like Du Fuwei. She felt happy and had a smile like a spring flower blooming on her face.
"General Du, all this you will do is for the Huainan Army and for the peace of Jiangnan. You will not regret it." Chen Luoyan smiled and said, "I have a letter here, you just need to do it as planned."
"If I do what you ask, what can I get?" Du Fuwei said coldly.
"I can guarantee that you will still be the marshal of the Huainan Army. If you want, I am willing to tell King Chen of Wu that he will accept the general as his adopted son." Chen Luoyan said with a smile.
Du Fuwei clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Fu Gongyou, what reward will he receive? Will the King of Wu also accept him as his adopted son?" This is the first time Du Fuwei called him his name after hearing Fu Gongyou betray him, and it was a name. In this era, referring to a name has already shown great insults. This sentence also means that his many years of brotherhood and Fu Gongyou have disappeared.
Chen Luoyan looked at all this, but felt a sigh. She slowly looked at the injured man and said, "Fu Gongyou has always felt that you are unfair to him. He thinks that you can do what you are today, and he has made great contributions. However, the Huainan army only respects you and forgets him aside. In fact, Fu Gongyou is more ambition than the sky and is full of ambitions. Now he is openly betraying your brotherly friendship for many years. Do you think the King of Wu will really look down on him with such a character?"
He smiled sarcastically and Chen Luoyan said again, "In fact, not only the King of Wu has seen through him, but Wang Zhihui has seen through his ambitions, but he is not very good at it. Fu Gongyou left you, but he is just a ridiculous clown. The King of Wu used him just to treat him as a chess piece. How could the King of Wu accept such a chess piece as an adopted son? How could he use it more? But you are different from General Du. General Du is brave and good at fighting and has good command. He is a commander who cannot be taken away. What's more, General Du is a kind person and a trustworthy man."
Du Fuwei sneered, "Is affection and righteousness? Since that's the case, don't you still ask me to fight with my brothers who have been around for many years, or even my adoptive father? I'm just wondering, the King of Wu asked me to betray King Yue today, why isn't he afraid that I will betray him for others again in the future?"
Chen Luoyan smiled, but did not answer, but pointed at the letter in Du Fuwei's hand, turned around and left.
When Chen Luoyan left, Du Fuwei sat there alone, looking at the thin letter on the table. After an hour of silence, the people sent by Du Fuwei came back. He sent a spy who had investigated the words of Chen Luoyan, and told him everything he had found. All the things Chen Luoyan said were true, and no one was false. And I heard that Fu Gongyu had secretly met many middle and lower-level lieutenants in the Huainan Army camp in Wanqiu.
After hearing that everything was confirmed, Du Fuwei plucked out his great sword and split the long desk in front of him into pieces. Then he finally opened the letter!
Late at night, Wanqiu City.
In the temporary courtyard of King Yue, Wang Zhihui, teams of close servants of King Yue were packing their luggage. Boxes and bags were packing a large number of personal items brought by Wang Zhihui with his army. In fact, these large and small boxes were filled with daily necessities, ranging from a bed to a teacup. Wherever Wang Zhihui went, he brought his full set of daily necessities, even if he was marching and fighting or traveling thousands of miles apart.
Unlike the busy scene in the courtyard, the hall was shining brightly with red candles burning. There were dozens of small mats on both sides of the hall, and teams of attendants and maids presented them with delicious dishes like flowing water.
In the upper seat, Wang Zhihui was chatting and laughing with the former general Wang Bao, the latter general Wang Yan, the lieutenant general Wang Mao and other Wang family members. A little farther away from these people, there were other Wang family members in the Huainan army and the Wang family's confidant generals. And further away, the positions of generals such as Fu Gongyou, Du Fuwei, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling, and Ximen Junyi were the positions of generals.
Fu Gongyou and others had arrived and sat in the seat on the left. However, the seat on the right was always empty, and Du Fuwei and others had arrived for a while.
Although Wang Zhihui, who was sitting in the upper head, was talking to the Wang family's children on the surface, her eyes were constantly sweeping Du Fuwei and others with her own light. Seeing that Du Fuwei and others had not arrived for a long time, her face gradually became gloomy.
It was not until the moment before the banquet that Du Fuwei and others arrived late. However, as soon as Du Fuwei came in, he immediately presented an exquisite gift, and he and his subordinates all came in big shirts and robes, without swords, which made Wang Zhihui, who was already unhappy, happy again. He ordered the banquet to start and ordered the genius women collected from the city to perform a dance.
