Jing Xiang looked at Gao Xiangsheng with pity in his eyes, and said, "General Gao, why are you here for this?" I still have to eat something, and in order for you to survive, I have spent a lot of effort and a lot of silver taels? The ginseng soup poured into you every day is worth half your life's salary! ”

"How can you, a traitor, be able to compare with you?" Gao Xiangsheng's throat was obviously injured, and he spoke with great difficulty, hoarse as if he was sawing wood with a saw. "It's just death, don't even think about what you want from me."

Jing Xiang nodded: "Understood, understood." General Gao, even if you don't talk about the network of guards in Luoyang, Chang'an, we will slowly find out about it next, but it will take a little time. So, we're not going to make it hard for you anymore. ”

Gao Xiangsheng showed a disdainful expression in his single eye, and simply closed his eyes.

"Does General Gao know where this is?" Jing Xiang didn't think it was wrong, and still said with a smile: "It's good to teach General Gao to know that the other side of the river is Weizhou, these days, General Gao has been stunned, I'm afraid I don't know that we are about to enter Weizhou, right?" ”

Gao Xiangsheng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Congratulations, General Gao, you are about to be free, at this time, we are in contact with the Wuwei side, and it won't be long before we can cross the river." Jing Xiang said.

Looking at Gao Xiangsheng's puzzled gaze, Jing Xiang explained: "Before General Gao was captured by us, of course, we also knew about our defeat by Wuwei in the Zhaoyi region, in order to exchange for Cao Huan, Cao Dashuai and General Zhu Youzhen, we had to hand over a large number of court ministers, including you, to Wuwei. ”

Gao Xiangsheng laughed loudly, his body twitching with laughter, and his eyes were full of laughter.

"So General Gao, you have to take care of your body, not only do you have to eat more, but you also have to cooperate with the doctor's treatment! Otherwise, when you arrive in Wuwei, you will die with a whimper, wouldn't it be a pity. "Jing Xiang is very sincere.

"Eat, eat!" Gao Xiangsheng's single eye flashed with a strange look, and he struggled to say word by word.

Gao Xiangsheng was carried out, but Jing Xiang could still hear his ugly but full of smug laughter.

A month after the fall of Chang'an, Gao Xiangsheng was betrayed by a traitor and arrested by the Xuanwu army, at that time, he was hiding in a stronghold of the prison guards, in this stronghold, a large number of secret documents of the prison guards were stored, and Gao Xiangsheng and his henchmen resisted and set fire to these documents.

Gao Xiangsheng was actually rescued from the fire by the people of the Xuanwu Army, and when he was rescued, he was already seriously burned all over his body. This person was extremely resolute in his determination to die, and after he was rescued, he did not eat or drink, so that Jing Xiang, who wanted to get something from his mouth, had to ask people to pour him some ginseng soup every day and hang his life.

"Strategist, this man is so stubborn, why do you want to keep him? Such a person, the subordinates think that it is better to kill it earlier. A young general looked at Jing Xiang with some puzzlement. If this person survives, he will definitely be our fierce enemy in the future. ”

"Wu Jian, don't look at the surface of many things, think deeply." Jing Xiang glanced at the young general and said, "Tell me, why are we exchanging these people with Wuwei this time?" ”

"Of course, it's to exchange for Cao Dashuai and General Zhu." Wu Jian was puzzled, isn't this an obvious thing?

Jing Xiang smiled: "Cao Dashuai has been arrested, wouldn't it allow us to better grasp the Tianping Army in our hands and completely integrate them into Xuanwu?" The third son was arrested, and the eldest son and the second son are afraid that their faces are sad, but they are really happy in their hearts, right? ”

Wu Jian was stunned for a while, and then said: "Military advisor, in this case, why have you been promoting this matter in front of the marshal, this, isn't this offending the marshal and the second son together?" ”

Jing Xiang laughed: "The eldest son and the second son may be unhappy or unhappy, but the eldest handsome understands it in his heart." Let's talk about this high elephant ascension, you admire him very much, right? ”

"Putting aside the difference between friend and foe, this person's style and bones are indeed admirable. This is a true man of loyalty. Wu Jian nodded.

"Then you say, is he loyal to the Tang Dynasty, or Li Ze?" Jing Xiang asked leisurely.

Wu Jian is also a smart person, and when he was respected like this, he suddenly understood.

"This person is naturally loyal to the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty." He blurted out.

"yes, so, I'm trying to save his life as much as I can." Jing Xiang said: "Where is Wuwei now, there are too few people loyal to the Son of Heaven, how can this be done?" Of course, we have to send more loyal courtiers to the Son of Heaven, like Gao Xiangsheng, when he arrives in Wuwei, whether it is in terms of ability or discipline, it will be of great help to the Son of Heaven! ”

Wu Jian suddenly realized: "Now Wuwei, Li Ze is the mainstay, but the Tang Dynasty Emperor is under the fence, even if he wants to do something, he is more than willing to do but not enough, but if the Son of Heaven has enough strength, he will inevitably want to take back power from Li Ze, and the internal struggle of Wuwei will become increasingly intense." If they get into themselves, that's great for us. Maybe he can defeat Li Ze without much effort. ”

Jing Xiang sneered: "I look at Li Ze's essence, and we are actually no different from our marshals, but our marshal is now shirtless, but Li Ze still wants to hide it, and still wants to use a legacy of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen his strength." ”

"This is a bitch who wants to be a bitch and set up a torii!" Wu Jian said disdainfully.

"It's not rough, that's the truth!" Jing Xiang said: "Since Li Ze has this thought, it will naturally give us room to operate, we will send back a large number of these Tang ministers to Wuwei, these people have no foundation in Wuwei, no power and no power, after arriving in Wuwei, how can Li Ze treat them, and they want to get the same privileges and wealth as in the past, so what other hope can there be except for hugging the thigh of the Son of Heaven, and then trying to bring down Li Ze?" ”

Wu Jian nodded repeatedly.

"So, in exchange for Cao Huan and Zhu Sangongzi, this is just a incidental thing, the main purpose is to send these people back, and then we can quietly watch the changes within them. Next, our first task is to stabilize the rule of Heluo Pass, and then plot to the south. On this trip, Li Ze and I will discuss a plan for mutual non-aggression and that well water will not interfere with river water. ”

"Will they agree? Now Wu Wei can be regarded as a rainbow of morale! ”

"What's the use of just having a rainbow of morale? Don't you need money to fight? Compared with us now, Wuwei is even more stretched in terms of economy, and Li Ze still needs to deal with Zhang Zhongwu, as well as those northwest festival towns, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? Jing Xiang said with a smile: "This time I went to Wuwei, the purpose of bringing you is to take a good look at Wuwei's economic strategy, your family has actually been doing things for generations, and has a deep attainment in the economy." Speaking of which, Dashuai is really interested in what Li Ze is doing. ”

"I'm afraid we won't be able to learn."

"Why learn?" Jing Xiang shook his head and said: "Knowing him is not to learn from him, but to find his flaws, and then kill him with one blow. ”

A few days later, Wuwei finally replied, agreeing to exchange prisoners and discuss a truce with the envoy group led by Jing Xiang.

On the river, a pontoon bridge was reached at a very fast speed, and this huge team, numbering in thousands, began to slowly cross the river towards the area controlled by Wuwei.

On the edge of the pontoon bridge, a horse-drawn carriage stopped here, and an old man with white hair stood on the wheel, looking back at the south, full of emotion. This person is the one with the highest position and the greatest influence among the prisoners exchanged between the two sides this time.

This person is the real left servant, Wang Duo.

Jing Xiang rode his horse slowly, stopped next to the carriage, looked at Wang Duo with a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "Prince, Jing Mou is here to congratulate first, this time, but the birds enter the sky, the fish return to the sea, but I don't know if there is a time to meet?" ”

Wang Duo slowly retracted his gaze, looked at Jing Xiang, and said, "Jing Junshi is too worried, in my opinion, it will only be three or five years at most, and I will be able to return to my hometown." It's just that when the time comes, our identities will have to be reversed. ”

Jing Xiang laughed: "The prince is an old man, Jing must respect the old and love the old, but he will not refute the prince, I hope the prince's wish will come true!" ”

Wang Duo snorted: "A beautiful woman, why be a thief!" ”

"Who in this world is not a thief? Prince, are you a thief? Jing Xiang asked with a smile.

Wang Duo was silent for a moment, and actually nodded rarely: "In a sense, it seems that I am also a thief. Anyway, Jingjunshi, what you think, Wang also knows it, so I'll tell you first, don't be delusional, it won't be as you wish. ”

"What do I think?" Jing Xiang asked with a smile.

"Wang's family has been an official for generations, and from the Tang Dynasty to my generation, there have been four prime ministers." Wang Duo said disdainfully: "I haven't seen any conspiracy, can you hide this little trick from me?" ”

"It's true that it can't be hidden, but in fact, it's not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy, right?" Jing Xiang said: "Even if the prince knows and understands, what can he do to me? ”

Wang Duo sighed: "I don't dare to say anything to others, but the old man will not do what you want, when I get to Wuwei, I will go to ask for a small house leaning on the mountains and rivers, to send love to the landscape, to be at ease, and enjoy a good appetite, Li Ze's kid, but he has a good meal." ”
