Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan sat next to Wang Mang, and now the two girls were a little surprised to see Wang Mang so excited. Then Wang Jingyan took the secret letter in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After watching it for a while, a smile appeared on her face. After that, she gave the secret letter to Shangguan Ningxuan, and after reading it, Shangguan Ningxuan immediately realized why Wang Mang was so excited.

After Wang Mang was excited, he immediately splashed ink and gave his own views and approvals, as well as follow-up plans.

When the reply was completed, Wang Mang handed the secret letter to the soldier, "You quickly give the reply to the person who sent the letter, and let him be sure to deliver it to that person as soon as possible, without delay." ”

"Yes, sir." This person took Wang Mang's reply and quickly left the hall.

The generals asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know what the happy event is, why are you so happy?" ”

Wang Mang replied: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will know when the time comes." Alright, now let's start working on the current plan...."

"Report ....."

As soon as Wang Mang's words were finished, another guard rushed in outside, and he said to Wang Mang: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Huo Rongsheng of Liaoning, Lord Chen Chong, General Yan You, General Chen Shou, General Dong Wu and other adults have led an army of 80,000 to Weiwu Pass.

And with them came about 1.7 million people, and a million deniers of grain. Huo Rongsheng and the others are asking to see the adults outside, do the adults want to summon them? ”

"Oh? Are they all here? Hurry up and bring them in. Wang Mang said happily.

"Yes, Lord Wang." The guards were instructed to retreat.

After a while, Huo Rongsheng, Chen Chong and others came to the hall under the guidance of the guards.

Wang Mang said: "Brother Huo, Lord Chen, General Yan.... You're here, so please take a seat. ”

Huo Rongsheng and the others nodded, found a place and sat down. Then he sighed at Wang Mang: "Brother Wang, I really don't want to come, then Liaoning is our hard work, when we built Liaoning together to reclaim the wilderness, I don't know how much energy it took to build."

It's just that the barbarian king has the help of the Ji family, and the four elephant sword masters have helped, and we are really difficult to match, so I have to come. If I can stop it, I will never give up on Liaoning. I was very reluctant to evacuate Liaoning this time. ”

Wang Mang shook his head and said: "Brother Huo, although we spent countless hard work and hard work when we built Liaoning, for the sake of the whole world, what if we temporarily give up over there?" Liaoning's evacuation plan is completely under my arrangement, and there is nothing too wrong. ”

After speaking, he turned to Wang Xianzhi and asked, "Uncle, how many people are there in our whole army at present?" ”

Wang Xianzhi replied: "Not counting the 80,000 troops brought by Huo Rongsheng, we currently have 470,000 troops under our command, including 150,000 cavalry. ”

"Four hundred and seventy thousand? plus the people brought by Huo Rongsheng, that's 550,000? ”

Wang Mang said to Huo Rongsheng: "Brother Huo, you came just in time, I have a big matter I want to ask you for a favor, I don't know if you are willing to help?" ”

Huo Rongsheng said: "Brother Wang, you are really not interesting, I just arrived with you, and I didn't even have time to drink tea, so you arranged a task for me." But since you've spoken, how can I not agree, you say, what's the matter? ”

Wang Mang said in a deep voice: "Originally, I didn't plan to start this plan now, but I just received a secret letter, this secret letter is related to the time of my plan, and I need to speed up and arrange some things." I want you to raise 200,000 troops at once, unify the whole of Gansu, and limit you to half a year.

You also know that at present, in the Gansu region, I only control the places from Yumen Pass to Dingxi Pass, but those places outside Dingxi Pass, such as Tianshui Pass, Qingyang Pass, Pingliang Pass and other places are not under my control. I have to get all of these gates in my hands now, and I'm about to put them to use.

If you encounter stubborn resistance when you act, you can use iron and blood, and don't care about my reputation. All in all, you'll have to take all those passes for me in half a year. ”

"Reunify Gansu? Iron-blooded means are also good? Huo Rongsheng asked.

"Yes, as long as you can take other passes within half a year, you can use any means. After taking these passes, I will be of great use. ”

"It seems that you are going to make a big move, otherwise you won't give such a military order." Huo Rongsheng nodded and said, "I promise you this, and I promise to take those passes within half a year." ”

"Good!" Wang Mang set his sights on the other generals, "General Jingsheng, General Zhang Sheng, General Hanyang, you can select thousands of elite soldiers to rush to Jingzhou, hide in Enshi County, Shiyan County and other places, waiting for an opportunity to disturb the foundation of the Huo family."

I have calculated that the Ji family will definitely attack the Huo family in the near future. I want you to secretly help the Ji family, and strive to make the Huo family lose more than half of their control of Jingzhou within half a year. At the same time, you must grasp the situation and make the Ji family lose some troops. Of course, I will also help you in time to complete your mission.

In short, your task is to be a two-faced conspirator between the two forces, to provoke them to fight on a large scale, and to make them both lose a lot. When the strength of the Huo family is depleted to a certain extent, I have my own arrangements to make the Huo family put away the idea of sealing the sky and becoming the emperor.

Of course, you must keep your actions confidential and do not divulge your relationship with me. To let the outside world know that I have never interfered in the affairs of the outside world. Only in this way can I calm the situation of the princes fighting for hegemony at the minimum cost. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, we'll do it right away." Jingsheng and the others commanded.

After arranging this, Wang Mang gave almost the same task to some other generals. However, this time, the mission goal was changed to the Wei family.

When the tasks of the Huo Wei family were arranged, Wang Mang set his sights on the five commanders of the Tianhan Battalion.

"The Great Commander, the General of the Left Capital, the General of the Right Capital, after the southern Xinjiang, the Marquis of Linyuan, since the five of you led the troops to help me break through the Yumen Pass, you have been leading the troops to be stationed here, helping the people to reclaim wasteland and accumulate rice and grain. Now I have an important task that I need you to help me do, I wonder if you would like to? ”

The Grand Commander said, "Your Excellency Wang, you have an arrangement, as long as we don't have to wave the butcher's knife at the people. ”

Wang Mang said with a smile: "My task is very simple, I want you to lead the 50,000 horses of your Tianhan camp back to Liangzhou as soon as possible." And strive to launch a charge against the large and small forces around your Tianhan camp within a certain period of time, and advance towards the goal of unifying Liangzhou.

Of course, if your Tianhan battalion is not strong enough, it will definitely not be able to unify Liangzhou. There is no need for you to worry about that. My goal is not to completely unify Liangzhou, but to take as many places as possible, to fight against those scattered bandits, to win over the people, and to strive to gather as many forces as possible. When the time comes, you will know what I am trying to do. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, we promise to complete the task." The Five Commanders replied.
