Chapter 487 Let's Go! Southwest!

Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh

After tempering the last Uzi steel sword, Wang Chong came out of the cave. He ignored the imperial court's order, and got into a carriage. go to the government.

A huge plaque with a red background and black lacquer has the characters of the Ministry of War written on it.

This is the latest office of Zhangchou Jianqiong.

Since Zhangchou Jianqiong took office, the entire Shangfu of the Ministry of War has been replaced by people from his southwest line. With this method, Zhangchou Jianqiong firmly controlled the entire Shangfu.

However, when Wang Chong arrived, the atmosphere in the Shangfu of the Ministry of War was low and dignified. Anyone who passed by could feel the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere in the air.

Almost everyone in the Shang Mansion of the Ministry of War lowered their heads.

Zhangchou Jianqiong was originally the chief protector of the Southwest, but now the Southwest was defeated, 180,000 soldiers died in the battle, and nearly a million Li people were about to be caught in fire and water, being stricken by Mengshe Zhao and Wu Sizang.

As soldiers from the southwest, the pressure on them can be imagined.

Although no one said anything, but as the former members of the Annan Protectorate, all the accusations were undoubtedly attributed to them.

In the current Shangfu of the Ministry of War, there is almost no one who does not know Wang Chong.

As soon as Wang Chong appeared at the gate of the Shang Mansion of the Ministry of War, although no one knew what his purpose was, someone welcomed him in soon after.

In the deepest part of the Shangfu of the Ministry of War, Wang Chong saw Zhangchou Jianqiong, whose head was drooping, looking a little decadent, exhausted, and deeply tortured.

"grown ups!"

Wang Chong straightened his clothes, walked over, bowed and saluted.

"You came"

Seeing Wang Chong, Zhangchou Jianqiong's eyes brightened obviously, but soon dimmed, and his head drooped, looking very unhappy.

With the status of the Wang family, and the friendship between Wang Chong and Yang Zhao, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, and Concubine Taizhen, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong should have been enthusiastic, but at this time, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong was really not in the mood.

It's not a good time to be entertaining, either.

In the heart of the ruling and opposition parties now,

All concentrated in the southwest, it seems that Zhangchou Jianqiong seems to have escaped by luck. But in fact, only Zhangchou Jianqiong knew that all the pressure and accusations were concentrated on himself.

Recently, in the morning court, even the ministers of civil and military looked at him from time to time, looking very unkind.

Zhangchou Jianqiong understood what the ministers thought:

If he hadn't insisted on entering the capital, such a big event would never have happened in the southwestern part of the empire. Moreover, although he is now the Minister of War, strictly speaking, things in the southwest have nothing to do with him.

But Xianyu Zhongtong was recommended by him, and the Southwest was his territory. One hundred thousand Tang elites died in battle, and the troops led by Li Zhengji were also ambushed.

It is not human beings entrusted by myself. In this disaster, I have an inescapable responsibility.

This kind of invisible mental pressure is simply shattering, and what is even more shattering is that even Zhangchou Jianqiong himself thinks it is his own fault.

In the current situation, I am afraid that not only the position of the Ministry of War is not stable, but even the southwest territory, the foundation of standing in the imperial court will be completely lost.

Internally and externally troubled, Zhangchou Jianqiong was so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to deal with Wang Chong.

"My lord is worrying about things in the Southwest?"

Wang Chong walked over, sat down opposite Zhangchou Jianqiong, and said calmly.

"Hehe, besides this, is there anything else?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong smiled wryly.

In his opinion, Wang Chong's question was completely superfluous. Even idiots now probably understand that his situation is not good. Meng Shezhao and Wu Sizang actually joined forces, this is something that he couldn't believe even if he was killed before.

But it really happened.

As soon as he left, Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang took his salary on his back.

He probably won't be sitting in this position in the Ministry of War for a long time.

"Since my lord is worried about this matter, why don't you leave the Ministry of War and go to participate in and direct the Southwest affairs in person?"

Wang Chong said.

"Leave? I am the Minister of War, and I need to preside over the affairs of the court. How can I leave here to participate in the front-line war. The Tang Dynasty has been established for three hundred years. When did you see a Minister of the Ministry of War fighting in person?"

Zhangchou and Qiongdao.

In his opinion, Wang Chong's suggestion was simply a joke.

If he alone goes to the battlefield to charge, then who will preside over the affairs of the army. Snakes have snake ways, rats have rat ways, the two are completely different.

"The rules of the imperial court cannot be abolished, but if the adults leave by force, who would dare to stop the court? Now the eyes of the government and the public are all focused on the southwest. If the problem in the southwest can be solved, who will dare to blame the adults?"

Wang Chong said.

Zhangchou Jianqiong's eyes froze for a moment. If leaving the capital can solve the problem in the southwest, why doesn't he want to go? but

It would be fine if he went before Datang was defeated, but now, what's the use even if he went?

"No! Wang Chong, you don't understand. The rules of the court cannot be abolished. As a soldier in the Ministry of War, I absolutely cannot leave the capital."

Zhangchou Jianqiong struggled, but regained his composure after a while.

Southwest's defeat was irreversible, and he managed to climb to his current position. With so many people watching him, no matter what, he would never allow himself to lose.

The Chief Protector of Annan has nothing to do with him, but at least he can still take the position of the Ministry of War.

"Eh"

Wang Chong has been observing the changes on Zhangchou Jianqiong's face, seeing his expression gradually turning cold at last, he couldn't help letting out a long sigh in his heart.

Zhangchou Jianqiong knew the Southwest like the back of his hand, whether it was Geluofeng, Daqin Ruozan, or Huoshu Guizang, he knew all of these people well, including their marching style.

With the help of the former Annan Grand Protector, the things in the southwest will be more effective with less effort, and there will be greater hope of stopping them.

But the last attempt also failed!

The current Zhangchou Jianqiong is no longer the Zhangchou Jianqiong of the past, the desire for power in his heart has completely overcome him as a general of the empire.

He is no longer the former Tiger of the Empire!

Wang Chong felt a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

In the end, it all depends on yourself.

"My lord, I'm here to say goodbye to you!"

Wang Chong saluted, and got straight to the point.

Now that he had already determined that he could not count on this Great Tang military minister, Wang Chong no longer hesitated.

what!

Zhangchou Jianqiong let out a sigh, his body trembled slightly, and he raised his head to look at Wang Chong, showing a shocked expression for the first time:

"You have to leave the capital!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chong said indifferently:

"Wang Chong has gathered a thousand elites, and will leave the capital in a few days and rush to the southwest!"

Wang Chong said this in a flat, very calm manner, without the slightest ups and downs.

The room was quiet, but there was a sudden change in the atmosphere.

Zhangchou Jianqiong stared at the young man in front of him, startled, and suddenly understood something, the way he looked at Wang Chong was completely different from before.

At this time, the situation in the Southwest is already very clear. Wang Chong's past at this time can only be one thing!

Zhangchou Jianqiong looked at Wang Chong with respect for the first time.

He had heard a lot about Wang Chong, and he had also heard about the reputation of the Qilinzi of the Wang family. But this time the feeling is completely different.

Zhangchou Jianqiong opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to stop him, but he finally stopped.

The situation in Southwest is now precarious, like a drowning man, no matter what it is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not refuse.

"What do you need me to do?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong said, his eyes quickly became clear.

He was the former General Protector of Annan, and since Wang Chong was going to the southwest, everything became very clear.

"I need something from your lord. If your lord believes me, I need a token from your lord. On the other hand, you can control Annan's army of guards, including your lord Xianyu."

Wang Chong said.

His expression was firm, even if he met Zhangchou Jianqiong's gaze, he did not show any cowardice.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Zhangchou Jianqiong seemed to have been stabbed, his pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became extremely dignified.

The Duhu is the great official of the frontier, even though he is the head of the Ministry of War, it is impossible to completely restrain one side of the Duhu. The so-called will be outside, something is not accepted.

But Wang Chong's guess was right, he did have a token, representing his own identity, he could control the 180,000 troops of the Annan Governor's Mansion.

This is also the way he agreed with Xianyu Zhongtong before leaving office.

If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't be able to leave Southwest easily and hand over the position of Protectorate to Xianyu Zhongtong.

This matter is very secretive, except for some people around him, almost no one knows about it.

"What are you still thinking about?!"

Wang Chong observed his words, and Zhangchou Jianqiong knew what he was thinking before he opened his mouth:

"The war in the Southwest has already reached this point. Does your lord think there is another way?"

Wang Chong's voice was raised several degrees.

If Zhangchou Jianqiong is still cherishing the feathers at this time, then he will be the tiger of the empire in vain.

"Eh!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong was at war between heaven and man, he let out a long sigh, and finally made a decision:

"I hope my decision will not be wrong!"

clatter!

Gently tugging with his right hand under the robe on his waist, Zhangchou Jianqiong tore off a heavy black and gold waistband and held it in his hand. But Zhangchou Jianqiong didn't hand it over immediately.

"Answer me a question before that, did you really expect the Lion City in the southwest?"

"Yes!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong let out a long sigh, said nothing more, and handed over the black and gold token in his hand.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

"If your lord is willing, please send me a few more generals around you!"

After Wang Chong said this, he left the Shang Mansion of the Ministry of War.

After leaving Shangfu of the Ministry of War, Wang Chong returned directly to Mount Zhige. "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while", after so many days of training, it's finally time to go south.

"Boom!"

Standing on the top of Zhige Mountain, the earth trembled, and gusts of wind swept in. Zhao Jingdian took the lead, leading a thousand fully armed masters of aristocratic families, riding war horses, and swept across from a distance in an array. come.

Smoke and dust billowed up, followed by thousands of hired masters roaring like a roaring sea tide. And the head of a tall man who is eight feet tall and looks like a giant looks extremely conspicuous, and the big sword that is as tall as a person behind him is even more intimidating.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Siye is probably the only one who can possess such an amazing physique.

The rumbling sound was heard for hundreds of miles, and even the students in the Kunwu training camp were startled. But Wang Chong treated it as if he hadn't seen it and heard it as if he hadn't heard it.

All his attention was focused on the large army that was approaching in front of him.

"The trip to the southwest is full of dangers. If you want to quit, there is still time!"

Wang Chong stood on the top of the mountain with a serious look on his face. He didn't look at the masters of the thousand aristocratic families, but at the group of hired masters who had summoned them.

The wind was howling, and there was a dense crowd, and no one said anything in the mountain-like team, and everyone looked indifferent.

Hiring masters is always blood licking on the edge of a knife. If it is safe and there is no risk at all, wouldn't everyone come to be a hiring master?

In their opinion, Wang Chong's words were completely superfluous.

For hired warriors, they only need to pay money. The greater the danger, the greater the reward. As long as this is satisfied, other things are completely out of consideration for them.

"Humph!"

Wang Chong sneered, there was no mobilization before the battle, and there was no encouragement before the battle. He pulled out the saber on his body and pointed it straight at the sky.

The razor-sharp, razor-sharp Uzi steel sword emitted bursts of cold light under the cloudy clouds.

"Set off!"

With an order, Shi Potian was shocked. Wang Chong rode a white-hoofed crow, took the lead, jumped off Zhige Peak first, and headed southwest.

And behind him, there was a bang, and the dense army roared down, rushing away like a landslide and tsunami.

When the attention of the entire Tang Empire was focused on the imperial court and the southwest, not many people knew that Wang Chong brought the hundreds of millions of taels of gold and a thousand Uzi steel swords to recruit the master who came suddenly. Quietly left the capital, galloped to the far southwest
