The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 346 Saint and Hero

Qi Wentai was tangled and hesitating, Jiang Chuan stood two steps away from him, quietly watching the tangled and changing look in his eyes through the light, waiting for his answer.

Finally, in fact, it didn't take too long, that is, less than half a stick of incense, the look in Qi Wentai's eyes finally calmed down, no entanglement, and became firm.

"My lord, I admit that I am at odds with Zu Dashou, and I have been suppressed by him all the time. If I say that I don't want to replace him, it's a lie. But what I want, Qi Wentai, I still like to get it clean. I never A small soldier was promoted to the current position of deputy chief soldier, nothing else, relying on my military achievements to get up step by step.

The reason why the emperor sent me here is because I, Qi Wentai, live up to my conscience and deserve the trust of the emperor.Today Wu Sangui sent troops to prevent the prince's army from entering the pass, although Zu Dashou was wrong, but he was not guilty of death.If the lord wants Qi to speak against his conscience for his own future and life, please forgive Qi for not being able to do so.If the prince wants to kill Qi, please do so. "

Qi Wentai's tone was very calm and decisive, revealing a sense of determination, obviously he had really made up his mind.

Jiang Chuan slowly put away the smile on his face, looked at him with a serious face and said word by word: "Qi Wentai, do you think this king won't kill you if you put on such a high-spirited posture? You Since you want to die with all your heart, then this king will help you, and you can be a companion with Zu Dashou when you get down."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuan glanced at Shanjia and turned around.

Shanjia said coldly: "Qi Wentai, I will give you one last chance to confess your mistake to the prince, and the prince will spare your life."

Qi Wentai said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Qi has made up his mind, please general."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, waiting for the blade to join him.

Shanjia's eyes flashed, the long knife was raised, and it slashed down suddenly, the long knife made a sound of wind in the air.

……

With his back to the door, Jiang Chuan sat on a chair with his eyes closed, wondering if he was thinking about something or fell asleep.

There was the sound of steady footsteps, and he stopped two steps behind Jiang Chuan: "My lord, several generals are here. I see that your lord is resting, and they are all waiting in the hall outside."

Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes, stood up and faced the visitor: "Bai Mu, let them all come in."

Bai Mu responded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Chuan again: "Have those people from Zu Dashou been cleaned up?"

Bai Mu said: "My lord, don't worry, I have cleaned up all the hands that I personally led, and the corpses are now buried. Zu Dashou's soldiers and family members were also executed together."

Jiang Chuan nodded lightly, then suddenly said: "Bai Mu, do you think this king should kill them?"

Bai Mu was stunned for a moment and then said: "The general only knows that there is always a reason for the prince to do what the prince wants to do. The prince will kill whoever the prince asks the general to kill. Even if the general kills himself, the general will have nothing to do." complain."

Bai Mu's tone was so calm and so natural, obviously that's what he thought in his heart.

Jiang Chuan sighed as if he was talking to himself, "Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui would have to die even if they didn't show up today. If these two people don't die, my king's thoughts will not be clear. There will be a feeling of swallowing a fly. It is very important for a person to be alive, otherwise he will be awkward for the rest of his life."

Bai Mu couldn't understand what Jiang Chuan was saying, but he was still listening carefully, with only firmness in his eyes.

Without Jiang Chuan, there would be no such people.

Jiang Chuan picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea inside in one gulp. Then he felt a little calmer in his heart, and asked again, "How is Qi Wentai?"

Bai Mu laughed: "Qi Wentai thought he was bound to die, but he didn't expect that the prince not only spared him, but also let him take Wu Sangui's place. When the last general accompanied him to the barracks to appease the Ming soldiers, he looked like he was still alive all the way. Some lingering fears. I am currently in the camp to appease those Ming soldiers."

Jiang Chuan nodded, and said with emotion: "Character is the most important thing in life and death. Qi Wentai faced high-ranking officials and threats of death, but finally chose to stick to his principles and bottom line. Such a person is available."

Bai Mu was a little puzzled and said: "But my lord, this person hesitated for a while before making a decision."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said: "If he said that without hesitation, the king would not dare to use him. This kind of person is either a saint who has no fear of life and death and no desire or desire, or he is deeply scheming and wants to use his life The hero of the gamble.

Neither of these can be used.A sage who has no desires, no desires, and no fear of life and death, so what else can attract him to follow this king?A scheming hero, this kind of person is even more afraid to use, once the power is strong, he may backlash at any time, let alone use it.

Only those who insist on respecting their own bottom line and principles after hesitation and entanglement can use it. They are entangled because they are also afraid of death, and they are also tempted by high positions in the future. This shows that they are ordinary people who want something. People tend to follow you as long as you give them what they want.

But after hesitating and tangling, he finally chose to respect his bottom line and principles. Such a person has a sense of proportion and a bottom line, so he can use it, and he can use it with confidence. "

After hearing this, Bai Mu suddenly realized, and said with a kind of admiration: "My lord is wise, congratulations to my lord for gaining another talent."

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said: "People with good character and a bottom line will not do too bad things. But if you want to do good things, you need to have the ability. Let's see."

Bai Mu went out with a vague understanding.

Hu Zongxian, Di Qing, Bai Shan, and Shan Jia quickly filed in.

"The last general will wait to see the lord!" The four bowed and saluted.

Jiang Chuan waved his hands and smiled, "Excuse me, let's all sit down."

After thanking the four of them, they sat on both sides. Hu Zongxian and Di Qing sat on Jiang Chuan's left, Bai Shan and Shan Jia sat on Jiang Chuan's right, all looking at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan glanced around the crowd and said: "Shanjia should have told you all about the situation, and I called you here to discuss how to fight this battle."

Shanjia first said: "My lord, Hao Yaoqi's [-] bandits are nothing to be afraid of. The general will take [-] strikers and he will be able to deal with them."

Bai Shan took it over and said: "Of course Hao Yaoqi's [-] bandits are not to be feared. I think the main point of the master's meaning is not this, but the capital."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "That's right, Hao Yaoqi's 5 horses are not worth mentioning. What I'm thinking about now is how to solve the siege of the capital, and if we want to solve it, where should we solve it? It came under the banner of King Guan Qin. If you just sit and watch the capital besieged and remain indifferent, I’m afraid it’s not justified. So, let’s talk about your thoughts.”

As soon as Jiang Chuan said, the four of them began to think deeply.

Soon, Hu Zongxian said: "My lord, this is back to an old question that I considered before. Do you want a living Emperor of Ming Dynasty or a dead Emperor of Ming Dynasty? Only when this is clarified can we formulate corresponding countermeasures."

Jiang Chuan's expression froze, what Hu Zongxian said was indeed a key issue.

　The second one arrives.There is one more.
