Chapter 1561: Xue Ju rebelled against Ming
Hearing Wang Mang say this, Zhu Tianpeng's face became even more ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Sir, what do you want to say?" ”
"I suspect that there is a secret agent of the Qin State lurking next to King Qi, and this person's identity and status are not low, and he may even be one of the people at the last meeting, otherwise how would he know his whereabouts."
Wang Mang kept talking to himself, he thought he was doing it for the good of Qi Guo, but he didn't know that he had touched Zhu Tianpeng's reverse scales.
"That's enough."
Zhu Tianpeng said lightly, but because he said it too lightly, Wang Mang didn't notice it, and still gushed endlessly: "Such a scourge must not stay, and I am willing to find out this traitor for the King of Qi......"
"This king said enough is enough."
Zhu Tianpeng suddenly roared, frightening Wang Mang, he didn't understand why Zhu Tianpeng was so out of shape, is this still the King of Qi who collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change his face?
Zhu Tianpeng also realized his gaffe, waved his hand irritably, and said, "This king is tired, send Mr. Wang to the post house." ”
"No. Mr. in front of this side. ”
Before leaving, Wang Mang glanced at Zhu Tianpeng deeply, although he didn't understand why Zhu Tianpeng suddenly lost his temper, but he didn't believe that Zhu Tianpeng would be indifferent to his words.
"Farewell."
Looking at the back of Wang Mang's departure, Zhu Tianpeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Chang'e walked up to Zhu Tianpeng and asked with a puzzled expression: "Big brother, Mr. Wang Mang is also for your good, why are you angry?" ”
Zhu Tianpeng turned his head to look at Chang'e, but quickly twisted away again, and said in a deep voice: "He crossed the line, and the affairs of my Qi country are not something that he can interfere with as a wanted criminal." ”
Chang'e showed a sudden look, but she still didn't understand why her brother-in-law was so angry, after all, it was just a passover, and with her understanding of her brother-in-law, she shouldn't be so angry.
Just as Chang'e was thinking nonsense, Zhu Tianpeng sat back on the main seat and asked in a deep voice: "Sister Chang'e, do you think I will end up with the same fate as my brother?" ”
When Chang'e heard this, her heart suddenly shook.
Who is Zhu Tianpeng's brother? Zhu Yuanzhang.
What happened to Zhu Yuanzhang? Betrayed by someone he trusted, he died a tragic death.
As soon as she thought of this, Chang'e couldn't help but feel empty, she felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was doubting herself, and these words were testing herself.
Chang'e raised her head and found that Zhu Tianpeng was looking at her steadily, which also made her even more weak-hearted, but her long-term spy career also allowed Chang'e to develop a strong psychological quality.
Chang'e forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "How can it be, the eldest brother is different from Zhu Yuanzhang." ”
A trace of loneliness flashed in Zhu Tianpeng's eyes, and he said with a wry smile: "What's the difference, my brother treats people sincerely, but he is still betrayed, I'm not the same as him now." ”
Chang'e was shocked when she heard this, she felt that Zhu Tianpeng was talking about herself, and she was ashamed and frightened in her heart.
Zhu Tianpeng, like Yang Jian, is wholeheartedly good to her, but he has been using them, which has made Chang'e suffer from her heart.
"Is it finally over? It's a good thing, it's a miserable day like this. ”
At this moment, Chang'e was not only not frightened in her heart, but faintly felt a sense of relief, but she didn't want Zhu Tianpeng to change her words and said: "Brother is not unkind to Xue Ju, but Xue Ju betrayed him when his brother died, I asked myself if there was anything wrong with my subordinates, but there were still people who were bought by the Qin army."
The people who saw Wang Mang at the last meeting are all brothers' henchmen, why did they betray me? ”
Chang'e was stunned when she heard this, it turned out that the betrayal Zhu Tianpeng said was referring to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xue Ju, not suspecting her.
This also reminded Chang'e of the information that came from Xuzhou not long ago.
Fan Zeng and Xu Shiji designed to get rid of the ambitious Xue Ju, but somehow leaked the news, so that Xue Ju realized that Xu Shiji was Fan Zeng's person, so he set up a Hongmen banquet to capture Xu Shiji in one fell swoop.
Xue Ju not only did not kill Xu Shiji, but prepared to take Xu Shiji as a hostage and forcibly absorb and subdue the army under Xu Shiji.
Fan Zeng and Xu Shiji have a special contact method, seeing that Xu Shiji did not contact him on time, he immediately realized that the matter may be exposed, although he doesn't know which link went wrong, but now the most important thing is to rescue Xu Shiji and kill Xue Ju.
Fan Zeng, who was aware of Xue Ju's conspiracy in advance, sent Xiang Zhuang to contact the generals under Xu Shiji's command, preparing to lay an ambush in advance, and at the same time sent Guan Yuqi to rescue Xu Shiji.
On the day of Xue Ju's incident, Xiang Zhuang and Guan Yu fought on both sides, Xiang Zhuang ambushed Xue Ju, and Guan Yu went to rescue Xu Shiji, and both succeeded.
Guan Yu is simply like a natural mortal, one person killed the camp but killed the guards in one fell swoop, and easily rescued Xu Shiji.
Xiang Zhuang's side was not so smooth, so that Xue Ju could see the flaws, and in the end, the two sides fought and stalemate for a while.
But Zhang Yan and Zang Ba led the army to help, and Xue Ju's general Chu Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu, which also made Xue Ju realize that he couldn't do anything, so he led the army and retreated, and finally fled back to Guangling County to prepare for the secession.
Xue Ju's brother, Langya County guarded Xue Andu, and learned that Xue Ju had raised troops, so he gave his full support.
Xue Ju easily seized the two counties of Guangling and Langya, and at the same time won over Li Guo and Li Yan, who were immobile, and actively contacted the princes of the Central Plains on the other hand, preparing to completely carve up Zhu Di's Ming Kingdom.
Xue Ju's move is not poisonous, of course, it can't be that he came up with it himself, it was Zhang Liang who wanted to use this famous infighting to use the power of the Central Plains princes to weaken the famous.
However, there were not many princes who sent troops to respond to Xue Ju, only Sun Jian and Huang Zu.
Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin are not stupid, they can see that there must be a battle between Zhu Di and Xue Ju, so sit back and watch the two fight to lose both, and then it will be possible to send troops to carve up the Ming Dynasty without much effort.
Seeing that Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin did not send troops, Zhu Di was also secretly relieved in his heart, and at the same time he was more eager to quell Xue Ju's rebellion.
Although Zhu Wenzheng was in Hefei and the Jianghuai defense line was impregnable, Zhu Di still sent Xu Shiji to take control of Jianghuai to prevent Zhao Kuangyin from suddenly raising troops to attack.
Zhu Di was determined to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible, so he decided to personally lead the army to boost morale, and Fan Zeng was the military advisor, Guan Yu was the vanguard, and the army embarked on a journey to conquer Xue Ju's rebellion.
The infighting of the Ming army officially began, and the Central Plains was once again surging and wolf smoke was billowing out.
Chang'e estimated that Zhu Tianpeng was probably because of Xue Ju's betrayal of Ming, and thought of the days when he worked with Xue Ju in Zhu Yuanzhang.
At that time, although Xue Ju also had a lot of ambitions, he was indeed loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, but now he resolutely rebelled, which caused Zhu Tianpeng's resonance with the assassination of Wang Mang and the rebellion of his henchmen.
"Big brother, Xue Ju has wolf ambitions, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, when he becomes a leader, I am afraid that sooner or later he will rebel. As for this traitor within my Qi country,......"
Saying that, Chang'e asked a little tentatively: "Maybe she has some last resort, or maybe an important person was kidnapped by the Qin army, so maybe she betrayed your eldest brother?" ”
"But whatever the reason, betrayal is betrayal, and it is unforgivable."
Zhu Tianpeng's words made Chang'e's heart tremble, and then she laughed at herself in her heart: Yes, betrayal is betrayal, why are you looking for so many reasons!
