All eyes were on Wang Daizhao, the one who had spoken.
Wang Dajiao was being watched by so many comrades and senior officers for the first time. He scratched his head and said, "I don't understand those things. All I know is that my parents died at home, and I had no way out, so I joined the army. My luck was good, and I was chosen to lead Wu Shuai's horse."
"Wu Shuai didn't look down on us, a mere squad leader. Instead, he took good care of us and gave us opportunities to fight on the front lines, kill the enemy, and earn military merit. He always rewarded merits and punished demerits fairly, never treating anyone unfairly."
"Our great general is even more so. I started as a squad leader, eleven years ago during the Huershan battle, we eight thousand faced off against three times that number of Liaoning's elite troops. We fought for a day and night, out of our eight thousand brothers, only forty-six remained. It was the general who pulled me out of the pile of dead. If not for Wu Marshal and General Zhao, there wouldn't be us today."
"You're all here, some of you might not have followed Wu Shuai before, but I ask you this: one by one, who among you hasn't received kindness from our great Shuai When has Shuai ever done you wrong"
“Don't say that Marshal hasn't wronged us. Even if Marshal really sides with some prince of the Eastern Palace, we don't know or care about any so-called prince. It has nothing to do with us. But as long as Marshal approves, we'll follow him. After all, we ultimately guard the mountains and rivers of Qin, the people of Qin. We haven't read many books, but we also understand that 'the ruler is the guide for his subjects'. Following Marshal is there anything wrong with that”
Wang Da zhao's words, though unadorned and lacking in profound meaning, went straight to the hearts of the people. This caused the atmosphere in the tent to quickly settle down.
A group of senior generals looked at each other and said in unison, "We, the undersigned, are willing to obey the orders of General Wu and Grand Marshal."
Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan looked at each other again, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Wu Ban Shan spoke, "Good, you all haven't let me down, and I will certainly not let you down. Still the same words, the matters of Yueya Pass are to be resolved at Yueya Pass. No matter how the imperial court struggles, within Yueya Pass, traitors are absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, those bones of our predecessors who covered Yueya Pass inside and out with yellow sand, I fear they will never rest in peace!"
But please command, my lord.
Looking at the assembled generals, Wu Banshan and his brother Wu Qingcang let out a sigh of relief. Finally, Wu Banshan spoke, "Below, I ask you all to accompany me to the camp of this rebellious general. The most important thing right now is to prevent any mutinies from unsuspecting soldiers. This commander will go with you all. Those who need to be killed will be killed, and those who need to be appeased will be appeased. Everything, still requires everyone to work together with this commander."
"Yes!"
A roomful of neat and spirited responses indicated that the situation at Yuetye Pass had stabilized.
Soon, a large group of high-ranking officers from Yueya Pass poured out of the tent, with Wu Ban Shan and his brother Wu Qing Cang walking in the middle.
"Big brother, what if something happens with the imperial court" Wu Ban Shan asked.
"I have been in private contact with Zhao Xuanji for many years. Although I have only met him a couple of times, over the years my feeling about him has always been one of terror. This elder statesman is not an easy person to deal with."
Wu Qingcang said lightly, "Our prince is not simple either."
He raised his hand to stop Wu Ban Shan who hesitated to speak, and Wu Qing Cang said: "You and I, brothers, don't need to worry about so much. Just remember that we are the royal family."
Wu Ban Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Just for this, they can make your eldest brother waste twenty years of his best time The first thing you should do after coming out is to use the influence of our two brothers to control Yueya Pass. Can't we at least help your eldest brother restore his reputation and status"zled, he didn't dare ask too much. He respectfully agreed and took the work from Xiao Tiannan's hands.Xiao Tiannan gave Xu Wei a look, then led him around to a deserted spot outside."Are you crazy! Co...
