Chapter 213 Military God [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Chief of Staff Chen Lie." Liang Yue indicated that he knew this person and let Wei Zhongzhou continue.

"He is a descendant of the Chen family in Shendu, and he is quite powerful in the army. Originally, we were just acquaintances. But that day, he suddenly found me and said that he knew my secret." Wei Zhongzhou continued, "Later, I learned that he met Xue Jun who came to see me. Moreover, he investigated my past through Xue Jun, and after a long period of secret investigation, he confirmed that I was a spy."

"At the time, I thought my identity was exposed and I would die at most, so I just hoped they would let Xue Jun go. But I never thought that they would use Xue Jun to threaten me and make me do something that would harm the Beizhou Army."

Wei Zhongzhou frowned and said, "It was not until that moment that I realized that their goal was not to catch the spy, but to provoke a war."

"There has always been a force in the court and the army that has been secretly fanning the flames, hoping that Jiuyang will do more sensational things to damage the prestige of the Yin Dynasty and stir up people's hearts. The ultimate goal is to start a war between the two countries."

What he said made Liang Yue ponder.

I never paid attention to it before, but now when I think about it, many things do seem to be doubtful.

For example, the last time the water monsters in the Beimen River ambushed the royal family of the Haiyue Kingdom, thousands of water monsters sneaked into the waters of the Yin Dynasty. Wasn’t there anyone who discovered them along the way?

They have been hiding in Liangjiang Prefecture for so long, is it true that no one has noticed anything unusual?
Huang Yuancheng, the garrison general of Liangjiang Prefecture, has been married to a monster for so long, but he really didn't notice any clues?
If he had not figured out some clues in time and called on people to stop the ambush, the royal family of Haiyue Kingdom would have been destroyed and the prestige of the Yin Dynasty would have been damaged. He would not have tolerated it in vain and would have taken revenge on Jiuyang.

The war between the two countries may have already begun.

"This time the army is about to start, and the Minister of War is coming to supervise the army. If he is killed by the Nine Yang spies on the way, it will definitely be a major case that will shock the court and the country. The court will definitely retaliate, and the peace at the border will be in jeopardy." Wei Zhongzhou's voice also weakened. "I don't want to do it, but they have captured Xue Jun, so I have to do it. If you hadn't stopped me, the war between the two countries would have been caused by me. I am really a sinner for all ages."

"We will verify what Brother Wei said. Miss Xuejun's safety can be assured. We will protect her." Liang Yue stood up, paused, and then said, "Do you have anything to say to her? After today, there may not be another chance."

All the crimes committed by Wei Zhongzhou are punishable by death. Even though many of them were beyond his control, from the perspective of the law, he may not be given a break.

"No need." Wei Zhongzhou shook his head. "I changed my name because I didn't want my affairs to implicate them. Now it is inevitable. Just tell her that I died in the battle and don't worry about me anymore."

Liang Yue bowed slightly and then walked out of the prison door.

The camp was brightly lit, and countless soldiers in armor and armed with torches were moving between the barracks, arresting those who were involved in the incident.

That night, the Beizhou military town was in considerable chaos.

……

Longyuan City, Bashanhou Mansion.

At that time, the military god Tang Wei had made outstanding military achievements, shocking the ancient and modern times. Emperor Mubei wanted to make him a king, but Tang Wei replied: "How can I be made a king when Bashan has not been conquered?"

He fought hundreds of battles in his life, big and small, and never lost a single one, except when he was fighting against the rebels in Bashan, where he ended up in a draw, which he considered a shame in his life. When the emperor conferred him a title of nobility, he also petitioned to have his fiefdom extended to Bashan, to show his determination to suppress the rebels.

Unfortunately, he had not led troops for more than ten years since he said "Why was he crowned king?" The military god of Kyushu, who had become famous at a young age, was now nearly fifty years old.

The door of Bashanhou Mansion was closed all year round. On the one hand, Tang Wei seldom went out, and on the other hand, no one dared to come and pay a visit.

Tang Wei's identity was too sensitive. He turned the tide in the Northwest War, conquered dozens of countries, and accumulated unprecedented prestige in the army. If he had not been frozen out for more than ten years, there would probably be no other factions in the army, and all of them would be his followers.

Many people could see that Emperor Mubei was afraid of Tang Wei. In the court, there were all powerful ministers, but Emperor Mubei was not afraid, he could command them. Only Tang Wei was the only minister he was afraid of.

On this day, the gate of Bashanhou Mansion was opened.

Parked outside the door was the carriage of the Left Prime Minister.

In the main hall of the Marquis's Mansion, Tang Wei was wearing plain clothes. He was thin, not tall, with slightly pale skin and a rather gentle appearance, looking more like a scholar.

This image may not fit many people's fantasy of a military god.

When Emperor Mu Bei, who had just ascended the throne, first saw the somewhat shy young general in the hall, he probably did not expect that he would be the one who helped him to dominate the world.

"Lord Zuo Xiang has arrived. Please forgive me for not coming to greet you in person." Tang Wei said softly with a smile on his face.

Sitting opposite him was the current left prime minister, Liang Fuguo.

"Congratulations, My Lord." Liang Fuguo said with a smile as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Oh?" Tang Wei looked suspicious. "I wonder why I am so happy?"

"I'm here to congratulate the Marquis. He will be able to come out of retirement soon and take over the command again." Liang Fuguo laughed.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, I dare not speak nonsense about this matter." Tang Wei shook his head slightly.

In fact, everyone knew that Tang Wei hoped to regain military power, conquer Liangzhou Bashan bandits, and even attack Yang State in the northwest. But no one else could say anything except the emperor.

He himself is especially not good at it.

"I am not speaking nonsense. I am just advising you to make early preparations." Liang Fuguo said with a smile, "The situation in the court is unpredictable. The army cannot be pacified unless you come out of seclusion."

"Left Prime Minister, you are too kind." Tang Wei said, "Wu'an Hall has the old Shangshu Qi in charge, it is as stable as a mountain, why do I need to intervene? The three guards of Longyuan are led by King Ding Gou, with him, the capital of the gods is as solid as a rock, how can there be any chaos?"

"Old Qi is highly respected, but lacks ambition; Jiang Zhenye is loyal, but unfortunately he has great ambitions but little talent." Liang Fuguo said without hesitation, "If there is a big event in the country, it will take Bashan Hou to take action to settle it."

"Lord Zuo Xiang." Tang Wei's face suddenly darkened. "I know that you are a man of thunder and lightning, and have unpredictable power, but you have come to my house with such fanfare. Is there any conspiracy to drag me down with you?"

"When the Marquis became famous, Liang Fuguo was just a student in the academy, and he admired the reputation of the God of War. Now the situation is chaotic, and all officials are silent. The country seems to be flourishing, but in fact it has reached a critical moment of survival. If you want to rectify the court, I have me in the court, and the army also needs a pillar to support the sky."

Liang Fuguo still did not explain the situation, but just looked into Tang Wei's eyes and spoke very sincerely.

"My Lord, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

　Good morning.
