Four Hundred and Ninety-Five: Attacking Fengyi County (3)

Huang Song was not a fool, he could hear the hidden meaning in Feng Jue's words.

However, he was really unwilling to do so!

He has known since he was a child how low his status as a eunuch was. The people he wanted to make friends with looked down on him, and the people he looked down on wanted to keep him. The obsession with being recognized has penetrated deep into his bones. How can you be respected and recognized by everyone?

Only by becoming an able minister and a pillar of the country.

Huang Song is still working hard towards this goal. With the help of the earthquake to save people, Huang Song has become the most valued young talent by the emperor. He is already a captain at a young age, but the cruel reality does not give him any further opportunities.

Should he choose to remain loyal to the emperor and his country, or should he choose to save himself and his family?

Feng Jue gave him the best advice, and now it's up to Huang Song to choose.

After a while, Huang Song asked Feng Jue in a hoarse voice, with only a glimmer of hope, "What if... I could write a letter and tell His Majesty secretly, pretending to agree to King Changshou's solicitation, and secretly find a plan to trick King Changshou." How about this?"

Feng Jue's expression was cold and he poured a basin of cold water on Huang Song, which hit him hard.

"First of all, King Changshou will not believe that you are sincerely surrendering. Even if he does, he will always be wary of you. Not to mention that he has many advisers. He may use this as a breakthrough to tear open Chenzhou's defense line. By then you will be full I can’t even explain it with my body or my mouth.”

Feng Jue took a breath and continued, "Moreover, Your Majesty is narrow-minded and suspicious. Do you think he will believe that you are pretending to surrender to King Changshou? If you tell him that, I'm afraid he will be even more suspicious of your rebellious intentions. Everyone in the family will believe that you are pretending to surrender to King Changshou." Everyone will be implicated.”

After saying that, he looked at Huang Song calmly, waiting for the other person to wake up completely.

Now the north of Dongqing has fallen into a melee, and the people are in dire straits. In the south, King Changshou and the emperor are fighting against each other.

As a result, no matter who loses or wins, the world is already in chaos, and only a saint can turn the tide.

Is Huang Song a saint?

He is not!

Therefore, he can only do the simplest self-protection, find ways to increase his strength, and strive to have a place in troubled times, so that he can protect the people under his rule, and then plot more things. Today's Huang Song is still too young and weak, he still needs to be more ruthless.

After a while,

Huang Song's struggling face calmed down, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, making up his mind.

"Song knows, so he will write a letter to inform the Holy One. He is retreating in order to find a place to settle down... Huaijie, thank you for your hard work."

Huang Song's choice was expected by Feng Jue. Compared with his ambition to stabilize the country, Huang Song valued his own life more.

Now that he was cornered by King Changshou's vicious plan, Huang Song naturally had to find a way to escape and seek revenge in the future.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

Having made up his mind, Huang Song wrote a secret letter and sent it to the palace, which almost arrived at the Emperor's Dragon Case with another secret letter.

Today's emperor seems to be schizophrenic. When facing the imperial concubine Huijun, he speaks softly and meticulously. When facing other people, he often gets angry. If he is unhappy, he may draw his sword and kill everyone. In fear of themselves, nobles and celebrities did not dare to talk about political affairs.

Some courtiers originally complained about Concubine Huijun's appearance in the front hall, but now they are afraid that her absence will increase the risk.

If Concubine Huijun was here, even if the emperor was furious, he would just throw something and keep a straight face, feeling a little wronged but not worrying about his life.

If Concubine Huijun is not here, haha, then you have to be careful. Being able to walk out of the front hall intact is definitely the blessing of the ancestors.

I saw it today. Concubine Huijun said that she was not feeling well and did not accompany the emperor.

The personal attendant Chang Shi waited on the side tremblingly. After the emperor read one of the secret letters, Long Yan was furious. He brushed away the pile of folds on the table with his sleeve. The nerves in his whole face were twitching faintly, as if he was extremely angry. pain.

The emperor stroked his head and suppressed the splitting headache. At the same time, he was panting like an ox, making other people scared and afraid to come near.

Chang Shi was hesitating whether to secretly send a message to Concubine Huijun for help. The emperor picked up another secret letter and opened the seal in an extremely rough manner. When he opened the secret letter and took a look, his frown relaxed slightly, and his eyes Flashing with a strange look that flickers on and off.

The first secret letter was a spy's report that King Changshou secretly recruited Huang Song, and Huang Song had a long and detailed discussion with his close aides in the tent.

The second secret letter was written by Huang Song. He spoke frankly about the ambition of King Changshou and intended to sow discord among them through such despicable actions. He sincerely expressed his loyalty, but also declined by saying that he was not feeling well and might not be able to do so. He relieves the emperor's worries on the front line. If the emperor feels that he can be of great use, it is better to transfer him to a more remote place in the rear and continue to shine for the emperor.

If the second secret letter hadn't arrived in time, the emperor might have ordered the spies and confidants to secretly eliminate Huang Song.

However, even though this secret letter came in time, the emperor also had a bad reaction towards Huang Song. He couldn't help but wonder whether Huang Song had accepted the generous treatment given by King Changshou and whether he was disloyal to him. He wanted to find a reason to send Huang Song to Huang Song. Huang Song got rid of all his positions——

Now that Huang Song was self-aware and asked to leave the front line, the emperor was no longer so disgusted and suspicious.

After thinking about it, he wrote down a summons edict and quickly sent it to the front line to recall Huang Song.

He didn't want others to think he was heartless, so now that Huang Song took the initiative to give him a step, he took advantage of the opportunity and stepped down.

After writing this imperial edict, he wrote another letter appointing Huang Song as the county magistrate of Zhaiyang County, Maode County, Haozhou.

Because he was suspicious and Huang Song was young, he did not give Huang Song a high official title, but only gave him a position as the county magistrate of a small county that was quite poor and remote. If Huang Song did well, he would be promoted later.

Haozhou is one of the twenty-one counties in Liuzhou, Dongqing, and the poorest and weakest place among the six states. Among them, Maode County is considered to be a relatively prosperous place in Haozhou. Zhaiyang County in Maode County is the best place among them, which can be regarded as an alternative compensation from the emperor.

All of this was within Feng Jue's expectations, and he helped Huang Song find a place to settle down by retreating.

When the two imperial edicts were passed to Huang Song, Jiang Pengji was already ready to lead the troops to the battle.

Although Xiangyang County is not large in area, it can mobilize 10,000 soldiers, all of whom have been trained hard. Although they are far from being the "elite soldiers" in Jiang Pengji's mind, they are much better than those "soldiers" who are crazy as dogs when the wind is favorable and betray their comrades when the wind is against them.

Jiang Pengji is disgusted in various ways, but others are already satisfied and have great expectations for this army.

Xiangyang County is Jiang Pengji's base camp. She wants to conquer the entire Fengyi County, so it is naturally impossible to take away all her belongings.

After some discussion, she left Feng Jin, Wei Ci, Luo Yue and 4,000 soldiers to guard the house, and pulled all the others out.
