Chapter 25 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 25 Taking advantage of the situation
The establishment of the state has been decided.
The surrounding area was reduced to ruins.
Some of his closest associates were killed in the melee.
Those confidants of Xu Jun who were captured were all terrified.
The moment before, they were still dreaming of great achievements, but the next moment, not to mention them, even Xu Jun was tied up tightly like a dead dog.
"Wang Ben, you!"
Xu Jun cursed angrily, extremely unwilling.
"General Wang, Lord Chang Yun and his trusted aides have all been captured. What should we do with them next? Should we detain them?"
At this time, a middle-aged man came over.
His name is Luo Yun, and he is at the second level of Tongtian.
The second most important figure in the Jianzhou army after Xu Jun.
The military affairs of a state are so important that it is impossible to put all the power in the hands of one person. There must be checks and balances.
He had anticipated that Xu Jun might rebel.
However, he was a cautious person and was aware of Jianzhou's predicament, so he acted according to the current situation and did not rush to make a choice.
The battle of Tianyong brought them a great shock.
This time, the court sent Wang Ben, who was at the seventh level of Tongtian, which made him calm down instantly. He also understood that he had to put away his unrealistic thoughts and obey Wang Ben's orders obediently.
"well done."
Wang Ben nodded.
He Shan hesitated for a moment and said, "General Wang, how should we deal with Xu Jun?"
Wang Ben said, "I have temporarily controlled a fourth-level Tongtian statue with the Heaven Binding Chain, but he is still a nuisance, and we don't have time to waste with him. The rebels are coming, and we cannot allow any unstable factors. This time, His Majesty has given me full authority to handle Jianzhou affairs, including the power of life and death."
"Does Lord Wang want to kill Lord Chang Yun?"
He Shan's heart also trembled.
It is true that He Shan rebelled, but he was the Earl of Daxia after all.
He has no right to kill.
"Great chaos requires severe punishment. If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. The internal chaos in Daxia has become so corrupt that it will cost you blood if you want to solve it. The rebels will attack soon. In my opinion, they have been waiting for news from Lord Changyun and want to solve the Jianzhou issue at the lowest cost."
Wang Ben said firmly.
At that time, his father was able to bring Pingxing Hou to Dijing to deal with him because it was very close to Dijing.
Besides, bloody deterrence is also needed.
Jianzhou is far away, unless he goes there to escort it personally.
Otherwise I won’t feel at ease.
"Just kill a count directly."
He Shan also understood Wang Ben's helplessness, and nodded, "General Wang, do whatever you want."
"How dare you kill me? I am the Great Xia Changyun Earl, conferred the title by Emperor Taizu himself. I have made countless contributions. You don't have the power to do that!"
When Xu Jun heard this, his scalp exploded.
As a proud and brave general, he has not enjoyed enough in his life.
"Betraying His Majesty means your death. His Majesty, the Marquis of Pingxing, has been beheaded, not to mention that you are just an earl!"
Wang Ben was decisive: "This time, I will personally kill those who are disloyal and disloyal by Your Majesty, as a sacrifice for the war!"
The sword rises.
Wang Ben didn't waste time talking to Xu Jun.
Suddenly, the sword in his hand pierced through Xu Jun's head.
Destroy vitality and shatter the soul of Tongtian.
When the long sword was drawn out, it brought up strings of bright blood.
He watched helplessly as a towering figure died in front of him.
Everyone present was trembling with fear.
This General Wang was truly ruthless.
He dared to kill the earl.
Of course, when Xu Jun betrayed the court, there was nothing to worry about.
This time, if Wang Ben had not arrived, they knew that Jianzhou would have fallen into the hands of King Ning.
This was something the emperor could not tolerate.
After Wang Ben killed Xu Jun, he looked at his group of confidants, waved his hand, and directly ordered, "Kill them in Jianjiang."
Like a wolf or a tiger.
Someone rushed over.
Ahhh! The screams continued.
After a while, more than half of the confidants were killed, and the remaining confidants knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy.
"Sir, please don't kill me. I am still useful. I know a lot of things and can make contributions to the court!"
At this time, a middle-aged man kowtowed and shouted, "I can redeem myself by knowing the deployment of some of the rebels!"
"His name is Lin Rong. He is Xu Jun's confidant and his right-hand man."
Luo Yun said.
"Tell me everything you know."
Wang Ben said.
"Lord Chang Yun, no, it's Xu Jun. He has been conspiring with the rebels to control Lord He first, and then take over Jianzhou in one fell swoop. This banquet is a trap, and the rebels have been waiting for news from us."
How could Lin Rong not dare to say it?
Conspiring for treason is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.
His family, both young and old, is still in the process of building a state.
"Say something useful. We all know this information." Luo Yun said impatiently.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Lin Rong continued, "There are some Western Territory families supporting the rebels this time. Don't kill me. I am very useful because I am helping Xu Jun communicate with the rebels. There are many things I can do."
"I never thought of betraying His Majesty. It was Xu Jun who forced me to do it!"
"Work together from within and without, wait for news, and take over Jianzhou."
Wang Ben pondered, then suddenly smiled and said, "You are still useful. So, you continue to communicate with the rebels and say that Lord Chang Yun has taken control of the situation, that he has occupied Jianzhou Prefecture, and that Lord He is seriously injured and has escaped from Jianzhou Prefecture!"
"General, you are trying to use the opponent's tactics against you."
He Shan understood Wang Ben’s plan.
"That's right. We should use the enemy's trick. If we say something too exaggerated, it will be hard to believe. If we compromise, it will make the rebels believe it. It's not surprising that there are Western families joining the rebels. After all, some people believe that Prince Ning will succeed."
Wang Ben said: "Then I will wait for them to arrive in Jianzhou Prefecture. Even if this plan fails, we can only fight hard. We should be prepared for both situations."
"it is good!"
He Shan clapped his hands and laughed.
One general guards the country.
Wang Ben is very powerful and can overwhelm all the other heroes. With him around, Jianzhou will not be in chaos.
"Should we inform Duke Yang of the news here?"
He Shandao.
"Don't notify them yet. If a fight breaks out in Jianzhou, Duke Yang will know about it."
Wang Ben said: "At the same time, I will also send someone to inform Your Majesty of the news here as soon as possible."
At this moment, Luo Yun was listening, and suddenly asked, "I wonder who the general and General Wang Jian are?"
"That's my father."
Wang Ben said.
No wonder.
His father was brave, and his son was equally strong.
Your Majesty has this royal father and son.
The country can be stable.
Daxia Imperial Capital.
The secret letter was delivered to Chu Feng via the teleportation array at the fastest speed.
"Well, Wang Ben has taken control of the situation in Jianzhou and is still trying to lure the rebels to attack. With Wang Ben here, Jianzhou will be stable. My fourth uncle, who has a noble family in the western border supporting him, is starting to act dishonestly."
Chu Feng looked cold and said, "It's fine if Wang Ben kills Lord Chang Yun. Killing Lord Chang Yun is also to save more people and make those frontier officials listen to my orders honestly and not have those thoughts."
The shock in the imperial capital certainly stabilized the political situation a lot, but it was not enough.
And Chang Yunbo was killed by Wang Ben.
Then, the strong men and unstable factors in each state would calm down, fearing that one of the strong men sent by the imperial court would be someone like Wang Ben.
As long as Jianzhou is held, the imperial army will launch a counterattack.
The confidence of the powerful people in various places will increase greatly.
Not all of them, but most of them will not be infiltrated by Prince Ning.
This was considered to be an invisible move that broke Yang Tianhai's hidden chess plan.
Chu Feng's counterattack momentum will be formed.
"The layout of everything and the pace of the future all depend on Wang Ben."
Chu Feng said: "Disrupt the war rhythm of Prince Ning, let the rebels become chaotic, and gradually abandon Prince Ning!"
