Chapter 298: Continuing the Divisive Scheme
"Is that true? Was Yu Wenhu, the powerful minister of the Zhou State, really killed by Yu Wenyong? How is this possible, this Yuwenhu has controlled the government of the Zhou State for more than ten years, although he was just defeated by the Qi State last year, but with his prestige in the army and his foundation in the court, this puppet emperor of the Zhou State, Yuwen Yong, should not be able to kill Yuwen Hu, even if he is in danger and takes the risk of killing Yuwen Hu, it will also cause a fierce resistance of Yu Wenhu's henchmen, and it will definitely cause chaos in the Zhou Dynasty, maybe this Yuwen Yong will not be able to protect himself! Wu Mingche said in shock.
After all, Wu Mingche is the military commander of the Chen State, and he also knows a lot about the intelligence of the two countries of Zhou and Qi, so of course he knows how powerful Yuwenhu is in the Zhou State! But now Xiao Yao told him that Yuwenhu had been killed, and Yuwenyong, who had been a puppet emperor for more than ten years, had successfully regained power, which of course made Wu Mingche unbelievable.
"Hehe, it's not because of me! Do you think I went to Zhou Kingdom just to run for my life? Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously, and then continued: "The specific situation, I will report to the Metropolitan Governor in detail later, but I heard that now the Metropolitan Governor has been appointed by His Majesty as the Assassin of Yanzhou, and here in Shouyang, he is an existence that covers the sky with one hand, and now that I am in great trouble and have escaped from the north, how is the Metropolitan Governor going to entertain me?" Xiao Yao looked at Wu Mingche with a wicked smile and said.
"What hand covers the sky? I'm a good official who is dedicated to the people! You little fox, you can be said to have died once, how can you still look so cynical! But now that you can come back alive, of course the governor of Pontus will have a big feast for you, you see, today I have brought the entire Shouyang civil and military generals and gate lord clans, I want them to see the rising star in our Dachen army, who killed the Qi army on the battlefield, and can regard tens of thousands of Qi soldiers as the heroic appearance of Xiao Shilang, a war general who can be regarded as a mustard! Haha, what's the matter, are you satisfied with this pomp? We're going to have a good celebration later, let's drink happily together, and get drunk for three days and three nights! Ha ha! Wu Mingche also laughed and said.
"Calling so many dignitaries and nobles to see me, the general of the defeated army, do you still say that you don't cover the sky with one hand? But the Metropolitan Governor, you are pushing me to the fire to roast, I am a little mighty general, a sesame mung bean-like official, you let these people come to meet me, do you want me to offend them all? Xiao Yao said a little speechlessly.
"Who dares to say that you are the general of the defeated army! See if I don't kill him! Wu Mingche looked like a calf protector, and said domineeringly: "Under the whole world, with a mere 5,000 troops, you can dare to resist the encirclement and interception of tens of thousands of troops of the Qi State God of War Gao Changgong, and finally break out of their encirclement, who can compare with such a record?" Even the old man didn't dare to fight such a battle! Although more than half of the casualties were killed, at least more than 1,000 soldiers rushed out and returned to Shouyang alive, which is an immortal contribution to our Chen Guoguo! Now even you, Xiao Shilang, who stayed alone in the Qi country and was rewarded with five hundred gold by the Qi people, came back safe and sound, you are the god of war in the hearts of our Dachen soldiers! ”
"And these gate lords are all begging me to take the initiative to greet you, they know that you are not only outstanding in military affairs, but also young and promising, and they all want to marry their daughters to you!" Wu Mingche looked at Xiao Yao with a wicked smile and said.
"They want to marry their daughter to me? Bleached not pretty? Xiao Yao heard that there was a woman's introduction, and immediately became interested, but when he saw Wu Mingche's sly smile, he immediately forcibly suppressed the commotion in his heart, showing a loyal and upright gentleman and said: "Cut, I don't like these vulgar fans!" In Jinling City, there are three fairy-looking beauties waiting for me to go back and marry them! ”
Sure enough, hearing the three words of Jinling City, Wu Mingche's eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation and worry, but he quickly covered it up, and then said earnestly: "Shiro, we are all worried about you in the past half a year that you have been missing, and during this period, a lot of things have happened in our Chen Kingdom, and we will tell you slowly after you have a good rest!" ”
Xiao Yao thought that Wu Mingche was talking about Xiao Moke, so he said with relief: "Metropolitan Governor, I already know about the removal of my father-in-law from military power, this defeat, my father-in-law did make a mistake, and the Metropolitan Governor just relieved him of his military power and did not hold him accountable, which is already very tolerant of my father-in-law!" Shiro is here to thank the Metropolitan Governor for opening up the net for his father-in-law! ”
"Well, you can understand! Forget it, don't talk about these disappointments! It is a great joy for you to return to Shouyang City today, and we should be happy! Walk! Let me introduce you to those famous families in Shouyang, after all, the old man is now appointed by His Majesty to assassinate Yanzhou, and in the area of Shouyang, we have only taken back from the hands of Qi for only half a year, so to govern this place, the old man still needs to win over these local snakes, only with their support, the old man can stabilize the Huainan area! Wu Mingche said as he pulled Xiao Yao to his side, and then walked in the middle of the crowd, enjoying the officials and soldiers standing on both sides, as well as the cheers of the people watching the excitement!
。。。。。。 The end of the world
Wu Mingche is a thick-skinned old fox who talks like a fart, so although he just said that he wanted to drink happily with Xiao Yao and get drunk for three days and three nights, in fact, he only set up three or four tables in his Thorn History Mansion, and then took Xiao Yao to go around in front of those well-known people in Shouyang City, and became familiar, and finally Xiao Yao only drank a few glasses of water and wine, ate a few chopsticks and dishes, and was pulled into the secret room by Wu Mingche, who had been scratched by the news of Yuwenhu's death, and asked Xiao Yao to tell him in detail about the experience of the past six months!
"I can't imagine that your festival with that Baoliang monk can become your way of escaping, disguised as a monk, and wander among those powerful people in the Zhou Kingdom without being discovered, indeed even the old man can't imagine that you can deceive them and make them think that you are a real monk and treat you with courtesy!" After listening to Xiao Yao's report, Wu Mingche couldn't help but sigh and said, he was really surprised by Xiao Yao's experience in Chang'an City in the past six months!
"Although I have a conflict with this Baoliang monk, he is indeed a Buddhist master, and he usually talks about profound Buddhism, which makes me also familiar with it, so this makes the people of Zhou Kingdom believe that I am a wild monk who travels the world, not Xiao Shilang who is hunted down and killed by Qi State!" Xiao Yao said proudly.
"But why do you want to help Yuwenyong get rid of Yuwenhu? According to what you said, this Yuwen Yong is a master who hides deeply, pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, which means that his ability and means are more clever, and it is more difficult to deal with than this Yuwen Hu, if he is allowed to grasp the power of Zhou State, Zhou Guo will definitely be more powerful than when Yu Wenhu was in power, in the long run, isn't this more unfavorable to our Chen State? You must know that there will be a big war between the three kingdoms of Chen Zhouqi, and in the end there will only be one country left, and then the world will be dominated! But we have let an even more difficult opponent take charge of the Zhou Kingdom, which is a strong enemy for ourselves! Wu Mingche asked puzzledly, as the commander of Chen Guo's army, and he has a heart to recover the Central Plains and unify the world, Wu Mingche's eyes must of course be far away!
"I believe that with Yuwenyong's cleverness and means, even without my help, Yuwenhu would definitely die at his hands, and it is only because of my help that he will become so smooth now! So in this matter, I just played a role in pushing the boat, and then got a favor in front of Yu Wenyong, I believe that even if he now knows that my true identity is Xiao Shilang and is jealous of me, he is still very grateful to me, with this favor in hand, it is also conducive to Chen Guo and Zhou Guo to deal with in the future! Xiao Yao forcibly explained, of course he wouldn't say that he was mainly to help Yu Wenmin avenge his grievances with Yu Wenzhi, so he helped Yu Wenyong eradicate Yu Wenhu!
"No matter what, now that the powerful minister of the Zhou State is dead, the Zhou State must also undergo great changes, I agree with you, the Zhou State will definitely withdraw its troops now, and it will not use troops against the Qi State in a short time, so with the strength of our Chen State alone, it will not be able to continue the Northern Expedition against the Qi State! We do need to be ahead of time! Wu Mingche nodded and said.
"But now we have also taken the Huainan area, and achieved the combat goal of the first phase of our Northern Expedition, as for the Huaibei area, we can fight if we can, if we can't, then we can hold Huainan, as long as we cultivate and recuperate for a few more years, after recuperating and recuperating, we will cross the Huai River in one go, and take Huaibei down!" Xiao Yao suggested.
"Now it can only be like this, although we have been like a bamboo in the past half a year and have taken Huainan in one go, but we have also lost a lot of troops, and the foundation of Qi is thick, we can't afford to spend it with them, and now we really have to focus on cultivation and recuperation! However, we will make a truce and a truce, and we will recuperate, but it is impossible to let Qi State live so comfortably and worry-free, I see that you, a little fox, must be thinking about something, ready to calculate Qi Guo! Wu Mingche looked at Xiao Yao meaningfully and smiled.
"What do I have in mind? But if we want to calculate the Qi country, in fact, we only have one trick to come and go! Xiao Yao smiled treacherously.
"Huh? Do you mean ... Wu Mingche raised his eyebrows, revealing a look that you know and I know.
"Hehe, that's right, it's a discord meter!" Xiao Yao patted his thigh, nodded and said fiercely.
