"Wang Chengxi, you are really useless, such a setback, you are ready to give up?"

Looking at Wang Chengxi's gloomy face, Wu Heng was angry in his heart, and the good situation he had created was actually defeated by him.

Before returning to Fengjing, Wu Heng repeatedly told Wang Chengxi to let him firmly control the army, if he was not there, Li Xun forcibly ordered him to do something in the name of the governor, and he could take the four thousand veterans of his headquarters to act, and he would not contribute to the force, and act perfunctorily, and Li Xun could not do anything to him.

But how did Wang Chengxi do it?

A large-scale bandit broke out in Suzhou, Li Xun ordered him to send troops to assist, and there was Wang Renzizi's request for help and troop transfer documents, this is a great righteousness, even if Wu Heng did not go, it was impossible to stop it, send troops to send troops, but Wang Chengxi was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was unwilling to lead the troops to go, but sent his officers to lead the army to Suzhou, which is simply stupid, doesn't he understand the idiom that people's hearts are unpredictable?

In fact, Wu Heng returned to Beijing this time, although he was scolded by the princess of Chu, but the matter was finally resolved, and then he met Yang Binglin and several important members of the right party, and the harvest was very huge, they told Wu Heng to try to stabilize the situation in Wuzhou, and further elevate Li Xun, and soon after, they will be above the court, launch forces, set up a defense envoy in Wuzhou, and send Wang Chengxi to Xiazhou to serve as a defense envoy, and reduce Li Xun's military power and military power to a minimum.

But the development of the situation is often so unexpected, the bandits in Suzhou suddenly broke out, went out of control, Li Xun decisively sent troops to rescue, and finally won a complete victory, taking this opportunity, Li Xun with military merits, to win over the people of various departments, Yu Yanhui, Han Lin and others have defected, Zhao Zhi also took this opportunity, finally had an excuse, completely relaxed Li Xun's military rights in Longyou West Road, Wang Chengxi was marginalized, and Wu Heng, without the support of Wang Chengxi and other generals, also lost the qualification to confront Li Xun.

"Isn't it because of you that I am where I am today? Wu Heng, all your promises, now it seems, are just a piece of shit. ”

Wang Chengxi glared at Wu Heng angrily, roared loudly, his emotions were a little out of control, he now regretted following Wu Heng very much, and now, calm down and think about it, Wang Chengxi suddenly found that he was really stupid, everything that Wu Heng had promised now seems to be nothing more than a piece of paper, a mirror, in the end, Wu Heng should do what he should do, and he has not lost anything, but he has lost everything.

Wu Heng frowned, secretly angry in his heart, but with this kind of rough person, what is there to worry about, and he still has a place to use Wang Chengxi, otherwise, a person who has no use value, Wu Heng should kick him away, the farther away the better, put aside the trouble.

Wu Heng spoke out and comforted: "General Wang, don't be impatient, things have come to this point, you don't want to see, and I don't want to see it, but since it has happened, we should think about how to solve it, instead of accusing each other here." ”

Wang Chengxi sneered: "You can't even protect yourself, what else can you do to help me?" I was too gullible to trust you that day, so I ended up where I am today. ”

Wu Heng said lightly: "Even if Li Xun has all the military power, he has no right to interfere in local government affairs, I am the assassin of Wuzhou, he can't do anything to me." ”

"How do you want to help me?"

Wang Chengxi has slowly calmed down at this time, he is only in his early forties this year, how can he be willing to return to Beijing to retire like this.

Wu Heng said: "It's very simple, what is the reason why Li Xun can have today's situation? It is a war exploit, he has made war exploits in Suzhou, plus some people are behind the scenes, this is to be able to quickly grasp the overall situation of the entire Wuzhou, if you can also make merits, and there are ministers in the court to speak for you and ask for merit, the matter is not irreparable. ”

Wang Chengxi asked, "How to make meritorious service?" ”

"The imperial court asked me to relocate 200,000 foreign people to Suzhou, and you have seen the current situation, Li Xun is unwilling to borrow me, I don't have enough manpower, and I can't complete the task according to the deadline given by the imperial court, so I need your help, as long as you help me complete the migration of the people, I will immediately go to the court and ask for credit for you."

Speaking of this, Wu Heng glanced at Wang Chengxi, who lowered his head slightly, with a contemplative look on his face, so he continued: "Yang Binglin has promised me that after the matter is completed, he will mobilize the power of his family to speak for you above the court, and recommend you as the defense envoy of Xiazhou, and at that time, you will no longer have to look at Li Xun's face to act." ”

After listening to Wu Heng's words, Wang Chengxi was a little moved, who Yang Binglin was, he naturally knew: "How do I know what you said, whether it is true or false?" ”

Wu Heng smiled, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Wang Chengxi: "This is Yang Binglin's handwritten letter, take a look at it yourself!" ”

Wang Chengxi took the letter, opened it and looked closely, it did contain Yang Binglin's commitment, but he had not seen Yang Binglin's handwriting, and the authenticity of this letter could not be distinguished, even so, Wang Chengxi still chose to believe it, because now he has no other choice.

Returning the letter to Wu Heng, Wang Chengxi said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Finally persuaded Wang Chengxi, Wu Heng's eyes narrowed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

The reason why Wu Heng attached so much importance to the migration of the people arranged by the imperial court was actually out of his own safety considerations, what was the reason why Li Xun was able to quickly obtain the military power of the entire Wuzhou? Isn't it that Suzhou has made a contribution to the suppression of bandits, giving Zhao Zhi a chance and excuse to make a move, Zhao Zhi obviously does not want to continue to serve as the assassin of Wuzhou, so it is a great threat and containment to Li Xun, but his identity is not so simple, mobilize himself for no reason, the resistance will not be small, even if it is Zhao Zhi as the emperor, I am afraid it is not so easy, Wu Heng is worried about one point now, if he cannot complete the migration work issued by the imperial court, once Zhao Zhi has an opportunity and an excuse, I'm afraid that he will immediately take action against himself, but Wu Heng doesn't want to go, he wants to stay in Wuzhou, and he has something to do, this action is aimed at Li Xun, as long as he defeats the only relative of King Qi, he will be in the big political force group of the Right Prime Minister and the King of Chu, and his own status will definitely be greatly improved.

Therefore, Li Xun and Wu Heng are actually very similar, the two have a common starting point in a certain aspect, Li Xun came to Wuzhou to make a big deed and create a bright future, isn't Wu Heng the same?

It is precisely because Li Xun and Wu Heng have a common goal that there must be a fight between them, and only one of the two people can stay in Wuzhou, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Li Xun understands, and Wu Heng naturally understands.
