The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 121.1

How many soldiers does Yang Xin have? One hundred thousand! How many does the head of the stragglers have? At most, less than half of Yang Xins! And they are just a bunch of gangsters! There are still Xue Ans Xuzhou soldiers in Xiaqiu! How could he lose this battle?

Wei Shao haughtily got up with hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in front of the desk, stepping loudly.

Ask him how many more soldiers he wants me to give him before he can bring down the head of the stragglers for me! He jerked to a halt and turned back angrily.

Gongsun Yang was a bit surprised.

Yang Xin couldnt suppress Bi Zhi and lost Xiaodi instead. After learning about the battle report, Gongsun Yang expected that the ruler would be unhappy, but what surprised him was that his reaction would be so extreme.

Since Gongsun Yang assisted him, he has experienced over a hundred battles of all sizes, conquering numerous cities and territories. But even if he had encountered a major setback, Gongsun Yang had seldom seen him so angry.

Moreover, although Xiaodis location was significant, as long as there were no more changes on the Xue An side, even if it lost, there would be no major changes to the current pattern in the Huainan area. The reaction of the ruler was really too much.

Gongsun Yang said: My Lord, dont be angry. Its only a momentary negligence of Yang Xin. And although Bi Zhi just turned up into this world, I heard that he is brave and his military tactic is excellent. He is now popular in the Huai Shui area. Countless people want to join him. My Lord should not underestimate him. He said while looking at Wei Shao.

Wei Shaos gaze back to Gongsun Yang. His right hand on the handle of the sword has drawn the sword out of the sheath a few inches. The swords cold light flashed, and a moment later, with a clank sound, he inserted it back and slowly released his grip.

Write on my behalf, tell Yang Xin, regain Xiaodi as soon as possible, at any cost, let that straggler return to Lingbi he paused briefly, Lingbi also can not fall into his hands! We must drive him out! If he needs resources and soldiers, let me know!

Gongsun Yang was stunned, then hesitated: Lord, I have something to say. I dont know if I should say it.

Sir, if you have something to say, just say it.

Wei Shaos anger from a few moments ago seemed to fade. He sat again behind the desk.

Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Henan, and Jiangxia are indeed important places. Although Bi Zhis status was humble, but cannot be underrated. For the Lords plans for the world, naturally, we can not raise a tiger as a problem. But to my mind, it may not be necessary for the Lord to make a big move He looked at Wei Shao.

I heard that the Lady has a sister who seemed married to Bi Zhi. Last year, General Jia escorted her to Lingbi to meet with the couple. She travels a long way to meet them. Obviously, she has a good friendship with Mr. and Mrs. Bi Zhi. It is not advisable to have a relationship with an enemy but to have a relationship with a relative. Why dont you consider warning him instead of war? Not only that, if you can take Bi Zhi under your wing, you will be like a tiger with wings. Since this is a beneficial thing, why not do it? Why dont we stop the war first? My Lord can discuss it with the Lady. I expect the Lady doesnt want to see you and Bi Zhi having a war. If Lady sends a letter or tries to intercede, with the prestige of the Lord, Bi Zhi will be happy to come to

Military Advisor! Do you think that everyone is worthy of my appeasement?

Before Gongsun Yang could finish his sentence, Wei Shao interrupted him.

His expression was cold. Its just a stray bandit leader who occupies a small place! Why should I be so tolerant? You dont have to say anymore! I have made up my mind and will not change it! Just do as I said and send a letter to Yang Xin! After saying this, he lifted the hem of his coat, rose from behind the desk, and strode away without looking back.

Gongsun Yang watched the back of the Marquis disappear with a frown. He knew very well that after the Marquis settled the north and pacified the west, there would definitely be a head-on battle with Xing Xun. It was just a matter of time.

If he wins, his world will be as strong as bamboo.

If he losses, the future of the deer is uncertain.

Although the situation in Huai Shui and Xuzhou was crucial, the war with Xing Xun required the full responsibility of the ruler. Gongsun Yang does not believe that the Marquis does not know this truth.

When he came to Jizhou to summon all the magistrates and generals some time ago at the Xin Palace, naturally, it wasnt for fun. To gather peoples hearts and minds, plan for a rainy day. Currently, the situation in Huai Shui obviously can be solved without war.

According to Gongsun Yang, if Bi Zhi refused, it was not too late to fight him again. However, if they could solve the war without fighting, with the power of Bi Zhi and Yang Xin, it would be easy for them to eat Xuzhou. Therefore, the Huai Shui area will be in the pocket of the ruler without fighting. Not only will he get the land, but he will also get a general like Bi Zhi, who may be able to compete with General Li Dian in the future. This is a good thing, but why did the ruler insist on going to war and order Yang Xin to strike him?

Hearing the Marquis words, it seemed he despised Bi Zhis origin. Thereby, he didnt want to use him. However, Gongsun Yang knew that although he was arrogant, he had done a commendable job of being courteous to his men. Otherwise, there would not have been so many good officials willing to be driven by him. For example, Li Dian, humbly born, was now the first general under his account. But he was so hostile to Bi Zhi now, which was really abnormal.

Gongsun Yang pondered for a long time and had a vague feeling in his heart. He suspects that the ruler was irritated. The Marquis hated the Qiao family but seemed obsessed with the Qiao daughter. There was even a sign that he couldnt extricate himself.

Although it has been some time since Gongsun Yang did not hear him mention the Qiao family in front of him without gnashing his teeth, with Gongsun Yangs understanding of him, he should not be able to let go of his family feud easily. Bi Zhi is also considered half of the Qiao family.
