Chapter 49 Lesion (I)

It has been several days since the occupation of Changding Town, and during this period, the chaotic situation has gradually subsided.

Most of the people of Changding County had plans to escape after the defeat of the old master.

The war chaos is extremely terrible. The victorious soldiers often act recklessly in the captured areas, but few masters will restrain them. At this time, the atmosphere is like this. The lords and generals of the vassal states all use this to raise their soldiers, thereby inspiring the soldiers to fight and obtain greater victory.

After occupying Changding Town, Wang Hongyi immediately issued an order, prohibiting soldiers from disturbing the people, and those who violated the situation would be killed without mercy. This order was like a stone, falling on the lake, causing huge aftermath.

A general raised objection, saying that this order would lead to a downturn in the morale of the army. Once it was proposed, he was severely scolded by Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. The people are like water and the army is like a boat.

As soon as this was said, it spread among the generals in the army.

There are those who disdain, and there are those who are surprised.

A few soldiers despised the law and secretly did some plundering. They were soon arrested by the patrol team and immediately killed in public.

Their bloody heads were hung high on the pole for the people to watch.

This move is very popular.

Since then, the people here have believed that the people who have entered Changding Town have truly pursued the policy of benevolence and righteousness, and the people's hearts have been slightly calm for a while.

Many landlords and wealthy families who had escaped before also returned one after another after watching the situation.

After all, who is willing to leave his hometown if there is a glimmer of hope?

Wang Zunzhi has been watching and seeing the effect of Wang Hongyi's actions of restraining soldiers after the war and implementing pacification policies.

Wang Zunzhi had already changed his mindset about this son. From the beginning, he only wanted to be no one after another, but later he truly appreciated him. As he said before, if he died young, he would have replaced him with a Qilin son, God would have treated him well, and the Wang family would have been good.

Therefore, with the unanimous agreement of the two supreme power members of the Wenyang Prefecture Army, Changding Town continued to implement a pacification policy.

The situation in Changding Town quickly returned to normal.

In addition to the occasional broken scenes on the streets and have not yet been completely restored, the increasingly lively streets have already nurtured new vitality.

September 28

Wang Zunzhi was happy and patrolled Changding Mansion with a car again.

After fighting with Liu Zhen for more than ten years, I finally glanced around as a winner, thinking in my heart whether I should go back to worship the old coach.

He also ordered a banquet.

Of course, the generals can come to hold a banquet, and they all come, but it will take some time to hold a banquet. Wang Zunzhi took a look and saw that there were already people preparing for the banquet, and many familiar faces were chatting, and he was even more happy.

After the banquet was held, Wang Zunzhi stood up and went to each table to persuade him to drink.

It was already good for the Grand Marshal to host a banquet to entertain the ministers and generals. He came down to toast himself, which was even more graceful, and everyone immediately came to the bottom of the cup.

Although Wang Zunzhi only drank a little at a time, he swayed after a round and felt a little dizzy, so he went to the back to take a break.

There were many spoils in the back hall, many of which were armor. Wang Zunzhi watched slowly and played with them carefully, and then he remembered the years of that year.

At this moment, Wang Hongyi came back.

"What, the matter is done?" Wang Zunzhi said.

"Yes, I have been sentenced to death." Wang Hongyi said in a low voice, the person who was talking about it was Liu Chaoyi.

After killing Liu Chaoyi, Wang Hongyi was so angry that he could hold a sixth-rank official position, but he felt very uncomfortable. Killing people on the battlefield and killing people without resistance are completely different.

"Hey, Liu Siming is in the nine springs and knows that this is necessary. In this Changding Town for more than ten years, there are many old subordinates who will not be sentenced to death, and it will be difficult to deal with in the future!" Wang Zunzhi said slowly: "By the way, what do you think of Changding Mansion?"

"Father-in-chief, I think it is very appropriate to have uncle serve as the prefect." Wang Hongyi was talking about Wang Yan.

"What about Kaiming County?"

"Kaiming County has been almost cleaned up. As long as you get close to us and use it, you can appoint it. Of course, it is up to the father and commander to decide."

Wang Zunzhi smiled and wanted to say something, but before he could say a word, he felt that his eyes suddenly became black and his legs fell down as soon as they were weak.

Wang Hongyi was so panicked that he hugged Wang Zunzhi, carried it to the bed, and said to the person who was serving in the room: "Don't be confused, don't make any noise, hurry up, pass it to the medical officer!"

After a moment, a medical officer rushed in and was undergoing treatment.

This medical officer is Medical Officer Zhao. He has been with the Grand Marshal for 30 years and his face is solemn.

But there was not much time when Wang Zunzhi woke up and could no longer struggle. He lay on the kang, opened his eyes hard, and said vaguely: "Mr. Zhao, come here quickly, all the others except my son will go out!"

"Master, I'm here." Medical Officer Zhao hurried up and asked everyone else to retreat.

"I know this time I'm sick, I know in my heart that this time is wrong. I want to ask you... how many days I have left? Tell the truth, so that I can arrange my funeral."

"Just say less comforting words. If you remember our friendship for thirty years, just say it!"

Medical Officer Zhao choked and said, "If the Grand Marshal is careful in recuperation, there is still this number."

As he said that, he raised a finger.

Wang Zunzhi's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy appeared: "Are there one more year?"

Medical Officer Zhao shook his head.

"That's one month left." Seeing the medical officer nodding, Wang Zunzhi closed his eyes weakly and said, "Oh, I understand, you go down!"

Waiting for him to retreat, Wang Zunzhi called his son and held his hand tightly: "I wanted to help you again, but I didn't want to have a chance. Come on, let's go back and send the appointments that should be issued. I will send you as soon as possible - I can't let anyone know about my illness, I want to pass it on to you!"

Wang Hongyi choked up and responded quickly: "Yes!"

However, things did not worsen as expected. After taking the medicine, Wang Zunzhi's spirit improved greatly. On the second day, he barely received all the ministers and generals and sent the appointment.

The first is to appoint Wang Yan as the prefect of Changding Prefecture.

The second is that Li Xian was transferred to Shunyi County Magistrate.

Originally, Dong Dan, the county magistrate of Shunyi County, was demoted to the eighth-rank county magistrate and transferred to Kaiming County.

Li Chengye made contributions to defending the city and was promoted to Deputy Guardian Guoyi, acting as a general of the guard, and actually taking charge of the guard.

On the thirty days, the frame was heading towards Wenyang Town. Outsiders only saw that the coach looked a little pale, but he didn't know that the situation was getting worse. But even so, there was still undercurrents.

The Wang and Li families each gained benefits in this battle. On the surface, the Li family should be grateful to their ministers.

After all, Wang Hongyi made the most profit in this battle.

Not only did it gain popularity, it gradually weakened the power of the Li family, expanded its own strength, and achieved the goal of eroding step by step.

This made the Li family extremely depressed, but they could only secretly swallow the loss of this mute.

"Father, are you looking for me?" On this day, Li Chengye changed his clothes, and a servant looked for him and told him that the head of the Li family wanted to see him. So he came to his father's study and bowed to his father Li Cunyi first with a respectful attitude before asking.

Seeing that his beloved son had arrived, Li Cunyi put down the book in his hand and signaled Li Chengye to sit down. After seeing Li Chengye do what he did, he said, "Chengye, you, my father and son have not had a good chat for several days. This time I came to you, I have something to ask you."

Li Chengye said respectfully: "Father, please speak."

Li Cunyi's eyes fell on his beloved son, as if he was thinking of another person, and his eyes became much deeper.

"What do you think about this battle?" Li Chengye was slightly stunned, met his father's gaze, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "When my father, my son thought that in this battle, the Li family would get one, and the Wang family would get ten."

"Oh? Tell me." Li Cunyi's expression remained unchanged, and he just signaled him to continue talking.

"Yes, father." Li Chengye nodded to his father and continued, "I got Deputy Guard Guoyi, acting as a general of the guard, and I actually took charge of one guard. My strength has not decreased but increased. However, I have died many old subordinates, and it has to take one or two years to replenish it. But finally, I have five hundred people in a dignified manner, and I can get one."

"In comparison, compared to what Wang Hongyi has gained, it is very pitiful. Wang Hongyi seems to be no match for ordinary people now, and he is really a little scheming. Taking advantage of this matter, he not only demonstrates his reputation of benevolence, righteousness and lenientness to the outside world, but also calls it a pacification to our Li family, but it is actually a deprived of power. Although the military strength of our Li family has increased, its control over the territory has gradually decreased, and Wang Hongyi has gradually deepened its control over the entire county, which is really a warning."

Li Cunyi nodded, stood up suddenly, walked to the window, opened the window, and looked outside: "Chengye, what you said is good, this guy is really hard to deal with."

Li Cunyi turned his head, his eyes locked on his beloved son again, and sighed: "I have always said that only my Li family has Qilin's son. Now I think about it, but now I look down on the heroes of the world. How many capable people in the world? How can you and I see through it for a while? Wang Hongyi was just from the devastated clan of the Wang family and ascended the position of this young master. He thought he was only based on luck, but now it seems that he really has some skills."

When he heard his father praise Wang Hongyi, for some reason, the figure of the man flashed through Li Chengye's mind.

He had no good impression of Wang Hongyi. Before Wang Hongyi appeared, Li Chengye was always favored by various forces in Wenyang Prefecture and was incredibly prosperous.

Li Chengye himself is indeed talented, elegant, beautiful, and family background. He is better than his peers everywhere.

But since Wang Hongyi appeared, he not only had a person equal to him in a very short period of time, but also became the future successor of the Wenyang Mansion. All of this made Li Chengye feel instinctively uncomfortable. He thought he was not inferior to Wang Hongyi, but he was not a member of the Wang clan, so he had to surrender to this person?

However, Li Chengye always showed humility in front of outsiders.

Did the old Taoist say at the beginning that those who marry young phoenixes will be able to gain the power of a hidden dragon. If you are a hidden dragon, you will definitely gain power and will always be on the rise.

At present, we only regard it as a strategy of rights and interests.

At this time, even his father praised this person, but Li Chengye's emotions suddenly became ups and downs. Did his father say this? Did he think that he was really inferior to Wang Hongyi?

Li Chengye lowered his eyes slightly and said, "What my father said is very true. This son should not be underestimated, but the Li family has also had a chance to turn things around. You must know that the sea is wide and the fish leaps with high sky, so that birds can fly. Although the foundation in Kaiming County was destroyed, the Li family's forces completely removed from Wenyang Prefecture and went elsewhere, which is likely to develop."

Li Cunyi glanced at his son: "Chengye, now, Wang Zunzhi's body has been getting worse and worse. He was already pale a few days ago. I'm afraid it's been a matter of one or two years. If he left faster, he might have a chance. As the heir to the Li family, you must be careful in your words and actions at this critical moment and not let Wang Zunzhi catch the handle."

"Son understand." Li Chengye hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and said solemnly.
