When the two soldiers took over the task and replaced Guan Yu, Xiao Wen and Guan Yu walked in front of Uncle Li.
"General, I didn't expect you to come personally." Xiao Wen looked at Uncle Li and said with a smile.
Lieberkow lifted his armor, which made a jingling sound. Then, he waved his hand and said to Xiao Wen, "The movement of your troops is too big, coupled with the illogical military requirements of the southern city wall, if I still do not sense that your trap is in the south, then I will disarm and return to the fields as soon as possible."
Xiao Wen nodded. In fact, he wasn't surprised at all.
After all, when he and Cai Zhaozheng had planned this together, although they had kept it a secret from Heshen and the other Manchu spies around him, they had not hidden anything from Lee.
After all, regardless of whether it was an unconventional military order or a large movement of troops, Xiao Wen would never be able to overtake Uncle Li in his eyes when it came to these things.
One had to know that the generals of the Han Dynasty had quite a high level of control over the army.
Without this powerful military control, there was no way that the Han Dynasty could become one of the few super military empires in China's history.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you hand over control of the army to me now? Or maybe, you still have something that you haven't completed? " Uncle Li looked at Xiao Wen as he answered with a questioning tone.
As he spoke, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was somewhat curious.
Obviously, he saw that Xiao Wen still had an unfinished mission.
"General, I still have unfinished business to complete." He pointed at Nalan Huo De and said, "It would be too funny if the entire Qing Dynasty, on the basis of this idiot, wanted to collude with us and kill us all. They would take over the Cloud County and let the North fall. Therefore, there's actually an even more powerful mastermind controlling them from behind the scenes. "
"Yes." Lee Bo Ke looked thoughtfully at Nalan Huo De for a while and said, "This is very risky. If it doesn't work, then just stop." I know a few rangers in Guanzhong who are no better than the rats in the north. Making them bleed on the streets is a respectable way for anyone to accept it. "
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment before reacting. This was Uncle Li's suggestion to use a ranger to kill Heshen, and let him die as the Grand Marshal of the Cloud County in the Darkhan Empire.
Normally, if someone dared to lay a hand on a county governor, the power backing him would definitely not let him go.
However, if they knew that He Heshen was the biggest spy in the kingdom, they would definitely not want to make a big deal out of it. They, who had chosen to make this a trivial matter, wouldn't pursue the matter of Xiao Wen ordering the rangers to kill.
After all, selling, betraying, weighing, and reaping benefits were things that had formed the political arena for thousands of years.
He believed that no politician would be willing to spend even the slightest bit of effort talking to someone who had no interest at all.
However …
Did Xiao Wen really want to see this kind of solution?
He remembered what He Heshen had done.
Remembering He Heshen's harm to the Han nation.
Recalling the insatiable greed of this treacherous official in history …
Xiao Wen felt that if this kind of person died in broad daylight without leaving behind any of the curses he should have, it would be a very ironic thing to do.
"Sorry." Xiao Wen looked at Uncle Li and smiled bitterly: "I am not a politician. If I can, I want to be a statesman who follows his heart and keeps moving forward for his own goals. "
"Is that really worth it? How could a mere fame and fortune be worthy of mention in front of the country and individual interests? If you do this, no one will reward you. " Uncle Li tried his best to persuade him.
From his perspective, he didn't want Xiao Wen to take such unnecessary risks and do things that were completely meaningless to him.
However, Xiao Wen still shook his head. He looked at Uncle Li's gloomy eyes and said in a resolute voice, "Adhering to justice is a type of reward."
"Adhering to justice is a type of reward …" Uncle Li carefully savored Xiao Wen's words. After a long while, he sighed and said: "I appreciate your perseverance. "However, I am unable to agree with him."
With that, he turned around and slowly walked away with his back facing Xiao Wen.
His back looked slightly ancient, and with a hint of helplessness, he left behind a few words, "Military Advisor Xiao Wen, listen up. Due to your negligence when surrounding and annihilating all of the spies within the Cloud City, you ordered a portion of the spies to escape into the city. In order for you to atone for your sins, I shall allow you to clean up all the spies before nightfall today. To be caught or to be killed, whatever you want. But during this process, if an accident happens, any damage caused will be borne by you alone. This general, as well as the northern troop, will not bear any responsibility. "
With that, he quickly left the scene.
The burly man was the fire of the Five Deaths, so the Han army uniforms were mostly red. And because of the dust on his cloak, it was dark red without any light.
Looking at the back of his dark red cloak fluttering behind him, Xiao Wen understood that he was willing to let himself be caught. However, all the political risks that would be borne by him had nothing to do with him.
"After all, Uncle Lee is someone with a family. He wouldn't risk his life for you." At this time, Cai Zheng suddenly walked up to Xiao Wen and said with a quiet tone.
When Xiao Wen heard that Cai Chai had suddenly appeared beside him out of nowhere, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
He shouted, "When did you appear?"
"Old Mr. Cai was standing here when General Li left. However, we saw that you, Sir, were too engrossed in your conversation with General Li that we didn't disturb you. " Zhuge Liang said helplessly.
Xiao Wen looked at Zhuge Liang, then looked at Guan Yu, who was beside him. Guan Yu nodded in agreement.
"Phew!" I was really scared to death by you. " Honestly speaking, Xiao Wen was quite wary of spies like Cai Zhaixing.
Unlike Lee, a soldier can start from purely military interests and deepen cooperation with them. It was also different from the Yang family, which only cared about their own family's interests.
As a spy, Cai must use multi-threaded considerations of interest to determine the relationship with Xiao Wen.
Sometimes, Xiao Kuangming would do something that would benefit Song Guo, but this thing did not suit Cai Zhe's personal interests, so he might be able to stab Xiao Wen in the back. On the other hand, if Xiao Wen did something that would benefit Cai Zongming but not Song Guo, he would still be at risk of being stabbed in the back.
As a result, even though Cai Zhen was still in the honeymoon phase of cooperation, Xiao Wen was still wary of his every move, as he was afraid that he would be ambushed at any moment.
Fortunately, this time, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were by his side. Presumably Cai will also not be able to attack me.
"It seems that I have to rely more on Guan Yu's martial power to ensure my safety in the future." Due to his lack of confidence in his own martial prowess, Xiao Wen decided to rely on Guan Yu in the future.
At this time, everyone already understood that their final step was to eliminate the biggest Manchu spy of the Darkhan Kingdom. Therefore, they all set off for the He Heshen Estate.
Arriving at He Heshen's mansion, Xiao Wen ordered the army to take control of the mansion, including He Heshen. No one had a chance to escape or fight back under the force of Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen, did you eat the courage of a leopard? I, a stately and burly man of the Cloud County, a marshal of the border, how dare you treat me like this? If His Majesty finds out, I will definitely kill you without a burial ground. " Before he even entered the main hall, Xiao Wen heard Heshen's shrill voice that sounded like the roars of evil spirits.
