I am the king of the dead

Most of the side generals in Ming Dynasty will use some tricks to support the bandits' self-respect to protect themselves. In this way, for the court, tampering with the side generals will become a difficult thing to balance. If it causes the side to shake, that is the collapse of the sky and the ground.

For example, Sai Yinbuhua back then, Shi Heng, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and Yingcheng Bosunjie, the commander-in-chief of Yongping, the capital of Liaodong.

This Fan Guang's predecessor was Sun Jie, the commander-in-chief of Daming Shanhai Yongping, who was decapitated by the emperor during the first parade of the Ming emperor.

It is because of Sun Jie's self-respect in raising bandits in Liaodong, and from time to time, he let the Jurchens of Jianzhou enter the customs to plunder, kill good people and pretend to be thieves. In the battle of the capital, even Yu Qian dared not use Sun Jie. He was impeached by Yu Qian and Xu Youzhen, who was still the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the time, and finally investigated by Jin Yiwei, and his head was taken before the parade. (120 three chapters read).

But Fan Guang didn't need to engage in those fancy things to protect himself, let Li Manzhu and Dong Shan play various tricks, Fan Guang only had one trick, which was impeccable.

Ara Zhiyuan was silent for a long time after receiving the messenger's reply, and finally let his son go to Samarkand.

When the Ara Zhiyuan blatantly opposed the Ming Dynasty, it didn't just want to rely on Daming's inner ghost, but made many alternatives and disposals, but none of them worked.

The Jiannu in the northeast of Ming Dynasty were willing to make trouble together, but their strength was limited, and they had nothing to do with the God of War at their doorstep; Sabhutan in the north of Ming Dynasty was also up for grabs, and they made up their minds to see the direction of the wind before talking about anything else.

As for the main force of Oala in the northwest direction of Ming Dynasty, the Prefect of Ala hoped that he would be able to recharge his energy in Samarkand first, recharge his energy and save enough elites to counterattack Daming.

But Ara Zhiyuan clearly knew that it was unrealistic.

Since ancient times, among the many tribes that have moved westward, none of them is willing to return.

After entering the west, it is like going home, and only fools are willing to come back and hit the stone with an egg.

The son of Arazhiyuan set off with the letter of alliance written by Arazhiyuan.

And Wang Fu also received a letter from Sai Yinbuhua. Regarding Saiyinbuhua's poisonous plan, Wang Fu can only sigh sincerely, it is really poisonous.

In the second year of Jingtai, Jinshi Jidi, Duntai Yuanhou, and Kang Guobaomin Wang Yue, after reading the letter, said in amazement: "The dog bites the dog, and when the time comes for the prefect of Ara to come to Samarkand, it will be He Ye. For the revenge of killing the son, I can only rely on Kang Guogong."

But Wang Fu shook his head and said, "Not only can we not tell Yexian, but we must ensure that the son of Ara Zhiyuan comes to Samarkand with the letter of alliance."

"Huh? Why?" Wang Yue frowned and asked suspiciously.

What a good strategy, could it be that Wang Fu is the noble spirit in the scholar's bones again?

Wang Yue was born as a second-class Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai. The nobility in his bones has been wiped out after so many years. Does Wang Fu still retain this kind of disposition?

"It's in the best interest of Daming to do so." Wang Fu first raised a point.

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said with a lot of excitement in his eyes: "Kang Guogong is still thoughtful."

Wang Fu picked up the letter in his hand, lit it, and threw it into the brazier. After the letter was completely burned, he sprinkled some water to stir it up, and then continued: "As long as the two sons of Ara Zhiyuan come to Sarah with the letter of alliance, Markan, the matter requested by the Prefect of Ara has become a matter to be discussed in the Advisory Council, and there will be a lot of disputes at that time."

"As for wrangling for one month, three months, or one year, it depends on the opinions of the counselors. When can we reach an agreement? Only if people agree, can I drop the hammer, right?"

Wang Fu is very good at flexibly using the hammer-dropping power of the Advisory Council. When it is needed, it needs the consent of two-thirds of the councilors, and when it is not needed, there must be two-thirds of the councilors. .

The son of the Ara Zhiyuan was killed first, and Wang Fu, the Duke of Kang, had to accept the affiliation of the Ara Zhiyuan, and the Ara Zhiyuan could move westward immediately.

The Great Ming Expedition, when they arrived at the place, people went to the building and the building was empty. Wasn't that a waste of time?

If Wang Fu refused to accept the attachment of the Prefect of Ara, what would Wang Fu do with this Kang Guogong?

Those who want to join you, Wang Fu, will be killed first. As the actual king of Kang and the nominal king, Wang Fu must take action.

But once you get it to the Advisory Council to go through the procedure, it will be very different. How long it takes to go through the procedure can be very flexible.

Ara Zhiyuan can't act without the news of Samarkand. He can only spend day after day in sleepless nights. Aim at the Zhiyuan of Ara.

Wang Fu burned Sai Yin Buhua's letter, which was equivalent to burning the westward route of the Ara Zhiyuan and burning all the retreat routes of the Ara Zhiyuan.

Sai Yinbuhua's poisonous plan is poisonous, but it is not poisonous to Wang Fu, a scholar.

Wang Yue is very clear that the Duke of Kang in front of him thinks and acts like this. In fact, in the final analysis, what Wang Fu is doing is the Duke of Kang of the Ming Dynasty, not the Duke of Kang of the Kingdom of Kang. What he thinks and thinks about is all for the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

With Wang Fu's current power in Kang, he is fully qualified to be a vassal who dominates the separatist regime, but Wang Fu never seems to have this intention.

Wang Fu never forgot why he set off, he only hoped that one day he could stand upright and return to Fengtian Hall, and still be the minister with a straight back in front of His Majesty.

"What are you looking at me for?" Seeing Wang Yue's strange expression, Wang Fu asked with a smile.

Wang Yue expressed his thoughts directly, choosing what to say: "It's nothing, it's just strange, you are willing to give up such a large territory in Kangguo."

This way of communication belongs to the habit of the two of them, and they don't hide it. Everyone has the same goal, so naturally there is no need to hide their inner thoughts.

Wang Fu said with a smile: "Do you think that Kang Guo belongs to me, the Duke of Kang? Don't look at those Taiji and special agents, who are calling each other, but once I can't give them enough benefits, I will immediately Kill me."

"Your Majesty summed them up most clearly, they are all Zhongshan wolves."

"What do you think Ara Zhiyuan will end up with?"

Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "Besieged by the Ming army, or captured, or died in battle, or fled far away, I don't think the Ara Zhiyuan has a chance of winning, and the Ming will definitely win!"

Wang Fu shook his head and said, "I think the chance of him dying in the hands of his own people is greater than that in battle."

Chapter 868 One bang, then decline, three exhaustion

Wang Fu's prediction of Ara Zhiyuan was not just talking nonsense.

Wang Fu understands grassland people very well.

For the grassland tribes, when the distribution of benefits is uneven, it is almost inevitable to choose to fight each other.

If you look at the history of Hu Yuan, in a mere hundred years, a total of eleven emperors were changed, and Kublai Khan himself occupied it for 31 years, and in the remaining 60 years, ten emperors were changed.

This outrageous replacement speed has a lot to do with the culture of the grassland. This kind of betrayal and backstabbing is the norm on the grassland.

On the contrary, people like Wang Fu and Yexian have already reached such a point of trouble, but they still maintain a superficial calm, which can be said to be a minority among the few.

"There is good news that the pigeon route from Luntai City to Samarkand has been opened." Wang Yue said excitedly: "In the future, if there is news from Daming, or news from Samarkand, there will be no need to Wait another half a year."

Wang Fuman said with a smile: "Good news, one day the official road post road can be built to Samarkand, and Kang will truly become a vassal of Ming Dynasty."

The places where the official roads and post roads are all Han land.

"Why don't you say Chidao?" Wang Yue teased.

I don't know how long it will take for the official road and post road to be built from Luntai to Samarkand. Wang Fu and Wang Yue are just eagerly looking forward to the early realization of that day.

Wang Fu and Wang Yue tried their best to conceal the news that Ara Zhiyuan had sent their son to Samarkand, but they were still known by the Taijis of the Wara tribes, and an intensive assassination was brewing.

How easy is it to kill a person?

All you need is a cup of poisonous tea, a dagger that weighs no more than two or two, and an accidental small wound. Life is too fragile, so fragile that everyone is treated equally in the face of death.

How difficult is it to protect a person?

During the process of the two sons of Arazhiyuan being driven from Helin to Samarkand, Yebushou of Daming spent a lot of effort to deliver them safely to Samarkand.

A lot of energy wasted, and no one died.

That's right, Wang Fu and Wang Yue were also powerless to give orders to Yebushou, so they could leave.

As far as Wang Fu and Wang Yue are concerned, they have too many ways to prevent the Arazhiyuan from going west. No matter which method is used, the burial place of the Arazhiyuan is Helin, and it can only be Helin .

Fortunately, the two sons of Ara Zhiyuan arrived in Samarkand smoothly.

Boyan Timur, He Shuote, Ashina Hehuo and other military chiefs gathered in the Kanggong Advisory Courtyard, quietly waiting for Wang Fu to appear.

"Arazhiyuan is a traitor. No matter what, they can't go west, let alone come to Samarkand." Boyan Timur first expressed his position. As Yexian's younger brother, as a Wala, he couldn't accept it anyway. Such traitors go west.

"Then you don't let Ara Zhiyuan go west, why did you attack and kill his two sons who delivered letters? If these two sons are dead, Kang Guogong just doesn't want to do something, so he will do something." Ah As Wang Fu's father-in-law, Shi Nahehuo naturally wanted to support his son-in-law.

Boyan Timur and He Shuo arranged for the assassination, but they couldn't even find them. On the grassland, they were set up by Ye Bushou to make a fool of themselves. Boyan Timur's people couldn't find these two people. The messenger is gone.

He Shuo said with some dissatisfaction: "Now that the person has arrived, we can't do anything."

When Heshuo was talking, Wang Fu came out and took his son Wang Yongzhen. He handed Wang Yongzhen to Ashinayi, and then sat on the first seat, and said with a smile: "How can Heshuo Wanhu be so Thinking about it, our business in Samarkand for so many years is not in vain.”

"What do you think?" He Shuo asked suspiciously.

"The person has already arrived, so we can't do anything." Wang Fu repeated, his tone quite solemn.

Even thousands of households like Heshuo know how to abide by the rules. If this is not the biggest achievement, what is it?

"That's definitely not possible. Everyone has arrived. If you don't enter the city, everyone can pretend that you don't know. If you enter the city, you can't pretend that you don't know. I still understand this." He Shuo was stunned, and then explained some.

"The same idea as Boyan Taiji, I don't want Ara Zhiyuan to come to Samarkand." Wang Fu said quite confidently: "Ara Zhiyuan is lonely and extreme. What does this pot of muddy water in Markhan look like after being stirred up?"

"It's better not to come."

At this time, between Wang Fu and Yexian, there is a delicate balance. Everyone is waiting for the old Yexian to die. Kang Guo belongs to Kang Guogong. restless.

When Ara Zhiyuan came to Samarkand, this delicate balance would be broken. Once the balance was broken, it was impossible to know where the situation of Kang would go.

"Now the two sons of Arazhiyuan have arrived in Samarkand, what should we do?" Boyan Timur asked in a daze.

Wang Fu looked at Boyan Timur and said with a smile, "Let it hang."

"Let it hang?" Boyan Timur looked puzzled.

Wang Fu said quite casually: "When we don't want to do something, we can take it to the Advisory Courtyard to let the Advisory Ministers express their opinions. After expressing their opinions for a long time, it is the best way to intervene in this matter." The time has passed, and we can only express our pity and powerlessness."

"This..." Boyan Timur was stunned. As a prairie man, he is used to going straight. The heart of this scholar is really dirty.

Wang Fu was a little absent-minded, and it was the same when he was in Daming.

When the imperial court does not want to do something, it will discuss, discuss, and push over and over again, just discussing and discussing for a long time. Finally, the time has passed, and it can only be regrettable and give up.

For example, in the matter of maritime trade, when domestic funds dwindled day by day, King Jili was so anxious that he asked his courtiers to discuss the voyage to the West. After two years of wrangling, there was no result. In the end, King Jili ordered Guo Xuan to be the governor of the eight prefectures to supervise the voyage to the West. The fleet was eventually destroyed.

"Then let it hang." Boyan Timur kept nodding and said: "It's good to hang it. Naturally, the emperor will take care of him. At the beginning, he was asked to go west with him, but Ara Zhiyuan was not happy. When he came to Samarkand, he refused in every possible way.”

"It's all right now. Isn't it easy for the Great Emperor's Beijing camp to deal with him in the past?"

Boyan Timur's words were somewhat gloating. In most cases, traitors are more hateful than enemies.

Boyan Timur knew more or less about the Emperor Ming's Northern Expedition. After all, Samarkand and Daming had business contacts, so the news could still be brought.

Speaking of it, there was still a lot of resistance to the Great Ming's Northern Expedition. After all, there was a civil war just not long ago, so the Great Emperor's Northern Expedition was a long-awaited event.

Regarding the current strength of the Ming Army, Boyan Timur knew well, and he was not an opponent of the Ming Army just because of the Prefect of Ara.

The one who knows best is always your enemy. Daming has all kinds of concerns, but Boyan Timur thinks that the Ming army will win.

It's not that Boyan Timur has never dreamed of returning east to counterattack Daming, but seeing the strength of the Ming army's frontier army in Luntai, Boyan Timur also gave up that idea, even the frontier army can't beat it, go If you collide with the emperor's Beijing camp, what is it if you don't hit a stone with an egg?

Wang Fu said seriously: "It was originally planned to continue westward in March this year to Batu Salai, but it seems that it will not be possible."

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Ye Xian, who has been in the Lan Palace all the time, even went to Tianshan to worship the mountains and rivers, praying for the blessing of Changshengtian, and bless the smooth progress of this westward march.

But after returning from Tianshan first, something happened.

A great epidemic broke out in Samarkand, and even the sergeants in the battalion were infected with a lot of diseases. People were panicked all of a sudden. If Wang Fu hadn't handled it properly, there might have been a lot of trouble.

But with the epidemic, the morale of the army is turbulent, and the people are panicked, so it can't be done.

"If you can't make it, you can't make it. If you don't go this year, you can go next year. Can Batu Sarai run with long legs?" Boyan Timur said indifferently.

That is to say, he also wanted to go west, to Batu Sarai. Boyan Timur thought that Samarkand was very good, and if the land was managed well, the country of Kang would be safe and prosperous.

In fact, in the final analysis, whether Kang Guo is the orthodox of Daming or Hu Yuan, this question is important, and for some people, it is very important.It's not important, but it's not important, and it's not important to most Wala people.

He also took it as his duty to reshape the glory of the Yuan Dynasty, otherwise he would not rush in from the Bauhinia Pass without taking down the Xuanfu, and get frustrated in the capital of the Great Ming Dynasty.

But Wang Fu said rather helplessly: "Some things are so short of trembling, but just this trembling, maybe in the future, such opportunities will no longer exist."

I made sufficient preparations this time, but I failed to go. Next time I want to go, there will be such and such changes, and finally nothing will happen.

Boyan Timur spread his hands and said: "Then what to do, the morale of the army is in turmoil, and the sergeants are all panicked, thinking it is a warning from Changshengtian, warning us not to go west. Isn’t that more uncomfortable? It’s better not to go.”

The main reason is the timing of the outbreak of the epidemic. They also went to the Tianshan Mountains to offer sacrifices to the mountains and rivers, praying for longevity and God’s blessings, but they also came back first. There was a epidemic in Samarkand. It is strange that the soldiers were not drumming.

Boyan Timur even maliciously guessed that this was a trap first set by King Kang.

But thinking of Wang Fu's usual behavior, Boyan Timur shook his head and denied this unrealistic guess.

For Wang Fu, the safety of the people in the Kang Kingdom was far more important than the prestige of that old man in Lan Gong.

"If I can't go this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go again. I will go all out, then I will decline, and I will be exhausted." Wang Fu said with regret: "Back then, Dashi used me when I was in my infancy. The most important thing is to If you advance westward, you will not stand without faith.”

For Wang Fu, going west means fulfilling the promise he had made with Lin Duoyexian. After the west going, even if they meet each other in battle, Wang Fu will not have any psychological burden.

A man lives between the heaven and the earth, and what he lives is a letter.

But with the outbreak of the epidemic, Wang Fu couldn't go west, so Wang Fu was naturally regretful.

He Shuo said suspiciously: "Haven't we established a firm foothold in Samarkand? Moreover, the Kang country is running so well, the Duke of Kang should take the lead. When we arrive in Samarkand, it can be considered that we have gone west."

It has gone west, but only a little bit, and it has not been surprising since ancient times that such a thing has not been completed. In the minds of most Wala people, Kang Guogong has fulfilled his promise.

"If Kang Guogong finds it difficult to talk to Dashi, I'll go and talk about it." Boyan Timur thought that Wang Fu didn't know what to do and would explain it first, so he took over everything and took over the errand.

Boyan Timur came to Lan Palace from Kang Palace. In the courtyard of the bedroom, he found Ye Xian who was basking in the sun. Ye Xian was covered with a thick blanket, leaning on the recliner, staring at the sky absentmindedly.
