Chapter 244: Wu Yi's Calculations
"Now that so-and-so has said that, how do you want to choose justice?" Wu Yi said solemnly. He said what he should say and what he shouldn't say, and the rest depends on Zhang Ren's own choice.
Zhang Ren lowered his head when he heard this, glanced at the Yuan army camp in the distance again, and the Liuzi banner on the city wall, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty has decided, is there any other choice?" ”
Wu Yi smiled: "I know that righteousness, although you are upright, you are not such a stupid person." Defecting to Jiangdong is not necessarily a good thing for you and me. With your ability to be righteous, it is too wasteful to succumb to this Shu, and this world is your best battlefield. ”
Zhang Ren was able to agree to surrender to Jiangdong, which was very suitable in Wu Yi's opinion. What kind of person is Yuan Shu Wu Yi has heard of, in the face of such a domineering and pragmatic master, if you don't have any real skills, you basically don't want to stand out under his command.
Just look at the current situation of the Jingzhou family, what kind of bullying has been made by the Yangzhou family. On the other hand, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, who were important ministers under Yuan Shu, were in a prosperous family.
Wu Yi is his own people know his own affairs, compared to those weak and incompetent Yizhou families, his own family is not much stronger, at this time, of course, he has to find a capable thigh!
Zhang Ren is just right! Born in a poor family, alone and without any foundation, he just can complement his own family. And he is upright, he doesn't think carefully, and he is the same Yizhou general as himself, which is the best thigh.
Compared with Zhang Ren, who is cumin and has no desire, Wu Yi's ambition is much greater. He had already made a small calculation in his heart, if it was really as Liu Yan planned, I am afraid that the strength of the entire Yizhou family would be greatly damaged. At that time, his Wu family may be able to take the opportunity to rise and become the leader of Yizhou.
As the contemporary head of the Wu family, Wu Yi's scheming is not inferior to that of other Yizhou family heads. However, because the Wu family is an outsider after all, they have been ostracized by the Yizhou family group, so the development over the years has not been very good.
At that time, Wu Yi's father, as Liu Yan's close friend, did not hesitate to follow Liu Yan all the way to Yizhou, just to find a way out.
As a result, Liu Yan did not disappoint Wu Yi's father, and trusted his friend and confidant, so that the Wu family, which was not even a small family in the Central Plains, became a second-rate family in just a few years.
But the good times didn't last long, with the death of Wu Yi's father a few years ago, Liu Yan's support for the Wu family began to decline rapidly, and people went to tea and cooled down. Seeing this, other families in Yizhou also began to suppress the Wu family, a foreign family with shallow roots.
After all, Yizhou is so big, and one more family will definitely share the interests of other families. Compared with other families with mixed forces in Yizhou, the Wu family is much easier to deal with.
If it weren't for Wu Yi's smooth wrists, in the past few years, he has wandered between the family and Liu Yan, all kinds of foxes and fake tigers, and borrowed strength, the Wu family would have declined a long time ago.
If it weren't for Liu Yan's hasty claim to be emperor this time, Wu Yi felt a trace of crisis, and he would have planned to marry his sister to Liu Yan's son, so as to gain Liu Yan's complete trust.
Don't look at him as Liu Yan's confidant on the surface, but in fact, Liu Yan doesn't trust him very much. Because he didn't stand on Liu Yan's side completely as Liu Yan thought, he had some inexplicable relationship with the Yizhou family.
In fact, Wu Yi was also very helpless to do this. If Liu Yan is angry, why is he unwilling to stand on Liu Yan's side from the beginning to the end as a loyal minister? It's purely because Liu Yan is not angry!
I don't know if it's because of his age, or because of his comfortable life, Liu Yan's ambition has been eliminated. During this period of time, Liu Yan no longer insisted on facing the family as before, and became more and more weak. In this case, if you stand on Liu Yan's side, you can only be regarded by Liu Yan as a victim of compromise with the family.
Standing on the side of the Yizhou family is definitely not good. He is an outsider, and once the Yizhou family fights infighting, the first person to suffer is himself, and doing so is tantamount to asking for his own death.
And Liu Yan's father and son are both that virtue, which is not enough to rely on, and the arrival of Yuan Shu just gave Wu Yi the best choice.
And as far as Wu Yi knew, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, Yuan Shu once married the daughter of the Cai family and the daughter of the Lu family respectively, and he didn't mind the daughters of many Yizhou forces. And Wu Yi himself has a younger sister.
This sister of his is not ordinary, she has a vision, she is unspeakably expensive in the mouth of the Xiangshi, in this superstitious era is the destiny of heaven, and she will definitely be able to become the queen and princess in the future. Otherwise, Wu Yi would not be so confident in the marriage with his sister.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was another woman who had a mandate of heaven like Wu Yi's sister, that is, the famous Luoshen, the wife of Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, Zhen Mi.
Those who represent Han should be painted high! At the end of the Han Dynasty in history, this kind of prophecy was enough to make great princes like Yuan Shu crazy. And with the destiny in place, others are even more convinced.
You know, after the establishment of the Shu Kingdom, who is the person who is Empress Liu Bei? Although Mrs. Gan, who gave birth to Liu Chan, was named Empress Zhaolie, she was only posthumously crowned.
The real queen is not in power, Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Quan, who is the hub of the Wushu Alliance, but Wu Yi's sister Wu Yuan, that is, the later Empress Mu.
You must know that Wu Amaranth is a widow, and her previous husband was Liu Mao, the son of Liu Yan, who is of the same clan as Liu Bei.
To be the wife of a person of his own clan and make him the queen is a big disapproval, in addition to the intention of appeasing the Yizhou family, Liu Bei is afraid that he also attaches great importance to this kind of prophecy!
With such a baby sister in hand, Wu Yi naturally wants to find a better home! Yuan Shu happens to be the most suitable person. Maybe the Wu family can develop into a family as powerful as the Lu family and the Cai family!
"The general's thoughts are far-reaching, and he can't do anything. Ren only hopes that Yuan Gong can ignore his past suspicions and continue to let Ren lead his troops to fight on the battlefield. ”
Zhang Ren knew that Wu Yi must have his own considerations. But he doesn't care, cumin, his only ** is to fight the world and prove himself on the battlefield.
Since returning from his studies under his master Tong Yuan, he is bent on proving himself and revitalizing his position in the military family.
Wu Yi glanced at Zhang Ren with appreciation: "It is said that justice is not good at communication and power scheming, it seems that the rumors are wrong." Justice seems to be impersonal, but in fact, it is inwardly showy! Yi is really lucky to be a friend of righteousness. ”
"The general has won the award, Ren really doesn't understand people, it's the general who thinks too much." Zhang Ren said with a straight face.
He didn't want to get involved in Wu Yi's, he only had the battle on the battlefield in his heart.
Wu Yi is not angry but happy, and the more rational and shrewd Zhang Ren is, the more he feels at ease.
After all, no matter whether Zhang Ren is willing or not, once the two defect to Yuan Shu, they will be people in the same boat, and even if Zhang Ren is unwilling, he will not be able to erase this relationship.
Wu Yi is so sophisticated, he can naturally see this, so he never thought of wooing Zhang Ren to add to this kind of thing. For him, as long as Zhang Ren does not fall, the better Zhang Ren mixes, his status will naturally rise. Whether Zhang Ren wants it or not, this is inevitable.
Unless Zhang Ren is willing to be a lonely man, isolate himself from Yizhou, and become an enemy of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi expected that even if he was just like Zhang Ren, he would not do such a self-inflicted thing. Now that both sides are both prosperous and loss-making, why should they make each other unhappy?
