11. The rise of infighting
After saying that, Shang Jiezan forced the servants around him to send Zanpu's messenger away.
Wu Ren, the second son of Shang Jiezan, was stunned.
At this time, Prince Mou Ru was very angry. He immediately pressed the hilt of the sword and said to Shang Jiezan: "Why dare Naoshi do this!"
A group of armed slaves from the Nam clan quickly proved that they "dare to do this". They rushed forward and pulled Prince Muru off the horse. Muru scolded Shang Jiezan endlessly. Shang Jiezan was also excited and pointed at him with a horse whip, "Your mother's family is just Cai Bang Xiao, but she bewitched the god Zanpu. In the battle of Taiteng City, you saw my son begging for cover and destruction and refused to save him. You should have killed you, but I don't want the god Zanpu to suffer the pain of losing his son, so I send you gifts back to Luoshecheng first."
Soon, Shang Jiezan summoned all the 20,000 heads of the Dongdai Imperial Army, Cao and the accompanying cage officers, in the camp, and deceived them, "The Uighur thieves have reached the boundaries of Shazhou and Guazhou. We cannot delay any further. We will march quickly from the momentum and have no stay. We must gallop at least seven post routes (210 Tangli) in one day!"
The soldiers of Xifan were the most tenacious and had great endurance in the saddle. Even though they were not clear about the truth, they followed Shang Jiezan, who was personally sprinting forward, and went straight out of Hehuang and headed towards Liangzhou like a strong wind.
Before leaving, Shang Jiezan asked Wu Ren to lead his 30,000 slaves, to stay behind to guard the camp and baggage, and to follow him, and told him: "These slaves are all equipped with weapons and war horses. If any political enemy comes to rob you, you will distribute the clothes and money in your luggage to them, so that they can be loyal to the honor of the Nam. After success, I will give them freedom."
After saying that, Shang Jiezan left.
Prince Mou Ru, who was driven back at this time, did not go to the Tuyuhun place in Qinghai. He rode eastward to the city of Shanzhou and shouted to the guards at the city: "Shang Jiezan has rebelled. He took Zanpu's Dongdai and went to the north of Liangzhou to join forces with Ma Chongying!"
Soon the gate of Shanzhou was wide open, and the host's great remark Shang Qi Xiner hurriedly accepted the prince. After asking for advice, Shang Qi Xiner said to Prince Mou Ru: "Shang Jiezan is committing suicide. Now is the best time to completely remove the Nam clan! Just like Zanpu defeated the Ga clan at the time."
But now Prince Mou Ru was a little uneasy. He knew that if Shang Jiezan was really tied to "rebellion", the Nam clan, which had two fiefs and 300,000 serfs, would become the public enemy of the country. This would definitely be a life-and-death bloody battle, not to mention that there was a large-scale Tang army on the periphery. It is unknown what consequences would be brought about by doing so.
But Shang Qixin'er had already made up his mind. He knew that if he wanted to do something, he could only be now. Ru Shang Jiezan took these 20,000 imperial guards away. When he arrived in Liang and Gan, he would be able to unite with Ma Chongying. If he refused to admit that he had committed a crime, then no one could do anything to him, and he would even be in trouble.
So Shang Qixin'er told the prince that this is your mother's long-cherished wish in her life and that it is also the foundation for you to ascend to Zanpu's position in the future. To become the most majestic man in the snowfield, you cannot hesitate when making major decisions. At that time, the Ga clan's power was greater than that of the Naun clan, but Zanpu destroyed the other party's family in every move. Only in this way can Zanpu's power become greater and greater and maintain his rule over the snowfield.
Prince Mou Ru could only nod in a trance.
It was so lightning that Shang Qixin'er, who had delayed the rigidity in the defense of Chengzhou and Qinzhou, quickly lit up three thousand host cavalry, and was very clever to not use Shang Jiezan's old subordinates. He summoned all of them under his own command and went straight to the Huangshui River in Shanzhou.
After leaving the city gate for only thirty miles, he encountered the third wave of bird envoy sent by Zanpu, who was furious. He held a full twelve silver falcons in his hand. Zanpu now doesn't know that Shang Jiezan's self-independent journey.
When the flying bird saw Shang Qixin'er leading a whole cavalry team, he asked why.
Before Prince Mou Ru could reply, Shang Qixin'er answered first, "Shang Jiezan disobeyed the will of the god Zanpu. Even if he used twenty-four silver falcons now, he could not save his madness and absurdity. He must use severe means to suppress it!"
These words shocked the birds and made them stunned and unable to move.
Shang Qixin'er said again: "You don't have to go forward any further, but you should go to Qinghai as soon as possible, let Lundebo send 5,000 cavalry to stop Shang Jiezan, chase back the loyal and brave imperial guards of Zanpu, and participate in the war to Victoria!"
By the Huangshui River, in front of Wu Ren's camp, Shang Qixin'er and Prince Mou Ru's three thousand cavalry chased after him, circled around the wooden fences and trenches erected in Wu Ren's camp, raising huge dust, mixed with all kinds of intimidation and reprimand.
Wu Ren sat in the tent, unable to sweat in his palm, and his face turned pale.
He had 30,000 slaves under his command, and had already been armed and controlled the situation of the entire camp. If he had made up his mind, Shang Qixin'er would not be able to do anything to him.
However, Shang Qixin'er had a prince Mou Ru around him, and he also had a Zanpu imperial edict in his hand, which was a moral advantage.
In other words, if he handled it improperly, it would likely cause the great Nao family to be completely ruined.
"Before my father left, I entrusted the entire camp to me. I must not let him down. Even if I bear the reputation of rebellion for this, I will take the camp to Liangzhou."
Wu Ren has made up his mind.
At this moment, Shang Qixin'er saw that Shang Jiezan was not in the camp. It must be his son Wu Ren who was in command, so she began to speak sweet words: "Zanpu has promised to continue to let the noble Shang Jiezan lead the army, but he needs to ask the Naun family to be at ease. Let this theory come just to inform. This is better, I will retreat ten miles away from the cavalry, and then you and I will only lead three cavalry and horses to exchange oaths. Zanpu, Cai Bang and Naun family will never harm each other, how about it?"
But secretly, Shang Qixin'er made people shout to the slaves of the Nam clan in the camp, "Your master has rebelled, Zanpu wants to hunt Shang Jiezan with golden arrows like a beast. Anyway, the time for slaves to be masters has come. Whoever can kill Wu Ren can get gold and silver, whoever helps can get silver and bronze, and after the matter is completed, all the slaves in the camp are released as free.
For a moment, many slaves who were obsessed with greed gathered to discuss. They surrounded Wu Ren's tent and shouted, saying that we did not want to believe that the master was rebellious, but Young Master, you should also leave the camp and explain the whole story clearly in front of everyone.
As he was noisy, Wu Ren's face changed drastically again, not knowing what to do.
Because many close and loyal servants knelt in front of him, saying that this was Shang Qixin'er's trick and must not be fooled. Young master, you can take the opportunity to lead us to raid, use the trick, kill Shang Qixin'er who was negotiating, and seize the troops of Shanzhou. The local area is the host of your father's long-term governance, and many soldiers are willing to obey the orders of the Nam clan.
