Chapter 426: Scolding Wang Lang
During the days of the march, all kinds of news were constantly transmitted.
The first news came that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was not in the rebel formation.
However, Wang Xiao was skeptical. If Cao Pi took the lead in doing this, would he really have the courage to kill his father?
Wang Xiao is out with tens of thousands of elite troops, if Cao Pi really kills his father, then Wang Xiao will not be able to spare him no matter what.
Sima Yi may have the courage to do this kind of thing, but Cao Pi's words, it's not that Wang Xiao looks down on him, he really doesn't have the guts.
And the news from the school secret agent is that no one has seen the body of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and no funeral has been held.
In Wang Xiao's opinion, it is very likely that Cao Cao was arrested and is now locked up by Cao Pi as a hole card.
The news that followed was that Cao Pi defeated the rebels who were plotting rebellion, and then succeeded to the throne of King Wei in Xudu.
For this, Wang Xiao sneered.
Since they are all in a group, it is normal to act for the world to see.
The so-called extermination, supporting death is nothing more than pulling a group of death row prisoners to pretend.
Later, news came that Cao Pi accepted the Han Emperor's concession, changed the Yuan to the early Huang Dynasty, and granted amnesty to the world.
This guy's ability is okay, but his ambition is not small.
It's not fun to be the king of Wei, so he simply accepted Zen and became the emperor in one step.
Not to mention anything else, in the name of righteousness, it definitely occupies the first opportunity.
The garrisons in Yecheng and other places were marching towards Xudu before, preparing to quell the rebellion and avenge Cao Cao.
But with Cao Pi's series of dazzling operations, Xiahoudun, Li Dian, Yu Ban and other departments all stopped at a loss.
Even, even rumors appeared in Wang Xiao's army.
For the rebels have been destroyed, and what are they going to do now?
The anger of avenging the prime minister has gradually turned into a worry that the two brothers will fight each other.
Later, news came, saying that Cao Pi appointed Jia Xu as the Tai Lieutenant, Hua Xin as the Xiangguo, and Sima Yi as the Imperial Doctor. and let Jia Xu lead the army to Yecheng to receive the city.
The families of the civil and military officials are all in Yecheng, if he really lets him take it, Wang Xiao will be completely unable to hold it down.
Cao Pi also sent envoys to the whole world, and made a wish to occupy the righteousness and stabilize everyone.
Not to mention anything else, this series of combination punches is indeed not bad. Even if it is in the past, Wang Xiao can not do much.
Then, Cao Pi's envoy came to Wang Xiao.
"Rippling the Ground?" Looking at Cao Pi's letter, Wang Xiao smiled very happily, "The capital is not small." ”
As the envoy, Wang Lang saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty said, Zijian Gongzi is brave and brave, and your brothers will work together to bring peace to the world." When the time comes, you can seal the country across the river and divide the world equally. ”
This kind of bait is not small, but it is okay to deceive Xiao Xiao, but it is useless to Wang Xiao.
Experienced Wang Xiao naturally couldn't be fooled by this kind of trick, "The abacus is very shrewd, do you want to say let me attack Sun Wu and Liu Bei?" At that time, all the territory that was fought down will be counted as a fiefdom for me? You are when I am two hundred and five. ”
"To kill people with a knife, first use this method to determine the name of righteousness. If I agree, it will be tantamount to accepting the identity of the second brother as the master in the eyes of outsiders. When the time comes, he will be righteous in his hands, and when I and Dongwu will fight hard, he will stab me in the back to completely eliminate the hidden danger. This kind of rotten street method, how embarrassed are you to use it on me. It's too contemptuous of people. ”
Wang Lang listened to it sweating profusely, and now he understood why he chose the messenger, everyone looked like they were going to die, and only he, a fool, took the initiative to jump out and take over this task.
Before he came, he didn't know that Cao Pi and Sima Yi and Jia Xu had such plans. Now that Wang Xiao said it, looking at their age, I can only sigh in my heart that a generation of newcomers is better than the old.
Wang Xiao stood up and scolded Wang Lang in front of everyone, "You have plotted to kill the prime minister, and now you dare to pretend to be innocent and come to me to have fun." You really think that everyone in the world is blind and stupid! Don't play tricks with me. ”
Taking a deep breath, without waiting for the sweating Wang Lang to explain anything, he directly turned the spearhead to Wang Situ, "You old man was deeply favored by the prime minister, and he was defeated by Sun Ce's hands to survive, and it was the prime minister who gave you the opportunity to rise again." You should have been grateful to repay the prime minister's great kindness, but you helped the rebel and conspired with the rebellion! Shameless old thief, you are guilty of great sins, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”
Wang Lang trembled and wanted to explain, but here Wang Xiao had already scolded angrily, "Old thief! You murdered the prime minister, I can't wait to pick your skin and eat your flesh! How dare you sophistry with me. I was ordered by the Prime Minister to crusade against rebellion. You pig and dog who are only worthy of waving the flag and shouting, wash your neck and wait for death! ”
Wang Lang was short of breath and sweating like rain. He was really afraid that Wang Xiao would hack him on the spot.
Wang Xiao's scolding here was not enough, and he scolded sharply, "You old dog still has the face to show off in front of me, and you want to fool me into giving up avenging the prime minister, and being deceived into being that stupid stupid donkey." You overestimate your own IQ and underestimate my intelligence. I can't understand how you have the face to bark at me. I've never seen such a brazen person! ”
Wang Lang held his chest with one hand and his throat with the other. After a few gurgles, his face turned pale, and he shook it for a while and fell to the ground.
He was stuck in phlegm.
Wang Xiao didn't have the idea of scolding him to death, and the two countries would not fight each other. If Wang Lang really dies here, it's not a good thing.
When Wang Lang was rescued, Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Go back, tell those rebels, wash your neck and wait for death!" ”
After Wang Lang left in despair, Wang Xiao's eyes fell on everyone in the military tent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to go with me to crusade against the rebellion and avenge the prime minister?"
Strictly speaking, among this army, those who completely obeyed Wang Xiao's orders, in addition to his headquarters soldiers and horses, that is, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Cao Chun and other troops.
Moreover, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry was sent out by Wang Xiao before, and now the whole army has been wiped out.
As for the others, such as Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang, who each led a soldier and horse, they were not sure how they would choose Wang Xiao.
Now there is no evidence that Cao Pi has anything to do with those who plotted rebellion, and if he participates in the battle for succession, it will be unpredictable.
Among the crowd, Xiahou Yuan was the first to speak, and he came out to salute and said, "Zijian, the prime minister has ordered you to inherit the throne, and the identity of the son has been determined before." Regardless of whether Zihuan is involved in the rebels or not, he will kill you to understand. ”
Wang Xiao smiled approvingly: "General Zhengxi is really loyal to the prime minister. ”
When he said this, everyone was speechless for a while.
If we don't fight Cao Pi with you, then we will be disloyal to the prime minister? If you really don't agree, I guess you will kill the people who don't go with you first.
Zhang He, Gao Lan and others quickly came out of the queue as a cheer to enliven the atmosphere.
They were co-opted by Wang Xiao as early as the Battle of Guandu, and they had long been labeled with Wang Xiao.
Now that Wang Xiao and Cao Pi are competing for the throne, there is naturally nothing to say, and it must be fully supported.
Because even if they defect to Cao Pi's side, they will be reused in the short term, but the final result will definitely not end well.
The atmosphere has risen, and the rest of the people have nothing to do. They all came forward to express their willingness to follow Wang Xiao to avenge the prime minister.
Haosheng comforted everyone and asked everyone to go back and reorganize their troops and horses and prepare for the camp. But he left Xun Yu behind.
"Lingshu Pavilion Marquis."
The smile on Wang Xiao's face gradually faded, and he looked at Xun You with a slightly cold gaze, "Your Xun family is really worthy of the prime minister." ”
Xun Yu is Cao Cao's mastermind, Xun Yu is the leader of government affairs, and has been staying in Xudu.
The rest of the Xun family Balong is not very good, but these two are real talents, with Zhang Liang and Xiao He's ability.
Although Xun Yu said that he was sick, he was in the capital. How could he not have noticed that something so big had happened.
Not to mention anything else, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entered Xudu, can they still hide it from him, Xun Lingjun?
Xun Yu knew, and his nephew Xun Yu naturally knew. But Xun Yu didn't say anything.
Wang Xiao walked over with his hands behind his back, stretched out his hand and tapped Xun You's chest, "I'll just say, why you were always restless some time ago." Fighting against the Kansai coalition forces, you also have no plan. The prime minister treats your Xun family well, and your conscience is eaten by dogs? ”
Xun You smiled miserably, spread his hands directly, and said, "No matter what the son says, our Xun family is not involved." ”
"Your Xun family is not involved, but you know, but you didn't say it."
They were all Cao Cao's subordinates, but they chose to remain silent when they learned that someone was plotting against Cao Cao.
From the courtier's point of view, this is disloyalty. Judging from their relationship with Cao Cao for many years, this is injustice.
In this era where reputation is more important than life, the Xun family is estimated to be scolded to death.
Xun You closed his eyes and raised his chin, "What does Childe want to do, there is nothing to say." ”
"Tell me everything you know."
Xun You looked like a dead pig who died if you came, and he was not afraid of boiling water, "I don't know anything." ”
Wang Xiao was also laughed angrily, "Okay, good, you have a kind." When you arrive in Xudu, if the prime minister really encounters an accident, I will never let go of your Xun family. ”
Xun You was still pretending to be a dead dog and didn't say a word.
Seeing his performance, Wang Xiao's doubts deepened. He always felt that this time things were not as simple as he imagined.
After passing through Hangu Pass, he returned to Kanto, and when he passed through Luoyang again, there was a disagreement about where the army would go next.
Many people think that they should go to Yecheng first to repel Jia Xu's threat to Yecheng.
After all, Yecheng is the fundamental place for everyone, and most of everyone's family members are over there.
The rest of the people thought that they should take this opportunity to go straight to Xu Du and wipe out Cao Pi's forces in one fell swoop.
What both sides said made sense, argued with each other, and finally kicked the ball to Wang Xiao's side.
When the heated argument quieted down, Wang Xiao spoke slowly.
"It's too late to go to Yecheng now, Jia Xu's soldiers and horses should have arrived. So we can only go to Xudu. ”
After a pause, Wang Xiao's eyes flashed with confidence, "But don't think that Jia Xu can be defeated when he arrives in Yecheng." I've already left a surprise for him. ”
