The main city of Baiyinguan!

After Wang Mang and Da Shan Yu negotiated various matters, he summoned the heads of the various ministries over.

The major generals of Kyushu looked at Wang Mang who was sitting on the top seat, and they felt a lot of uneasiness in their hearts, and they didn't know how to speak.

Just now, the Ji family led the soldiers and horses to kill, and they were afraid to do it one by one. Now that Wang Mang has united with the Xiongnu to destroy the Ji family and horses, they all feel that they have done something wrong? Just now should not sit on the sidelines.

Wang Mang had no intention of embarrassing these people, "Everyone, before you led the troops to the border pass, your patriarch told you that you would do something to me after I destroyed the Huns, right?" The calculations of the head of your family are very good, but people are not as good as heaven, and the development of things does not develop according to their calculations.

If it is according to the normal situation, even if we defeat the Xiongnu, we will lose our troops and lose our strength. Then you can fight with your damaged forces, and you can take me down. In this way, I could not lead the army back triumphantly, but died on the battlefield and became a dead saint.

But unexpectedly, we didn't lose much on average, and you are not sure that you can suppress me. Now you can tell me what you have planned. ”

"This... That..."

The seven lords were up and down in their hearts, unable to guess Wang Mang's intentions, and the pressure increased greatly. Especially when Wang Mang said their master's plan, they were even more frightened.

At this moment, Wang Mang vaguely reached an alliance with the Xiongnu, and they all felt that Wang Mang at this moment was more difficult to deal with than before, and they could not act rashly.

Everyone thought about it for a long time, and Wei Xianming took the lead in speaking.

He said cautiously: "Lord Wang, my family patriarch definitely doesn't have the idea of being unfavorable to you, otherwise he wouldn't have sent troops to aid Liaoning and help your subordinates fight against the barbarian king." Now that our army has won a great victory, I am preparing to lead the army back to Yizhou. I wonder what else you have to say, my lord? ”

Huo Changhai also said: "Lord Wang, my family patriarch definitely doesn't have any unfavorable thoughts about you. I believe that Lord Wang, you will definitely be aware of everything and will not be provoked by traitors. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refute, for it's useless. What are you thinking in your hearts, I still don't know? But I'm not going to pursue it. Wang Mang said: "Now that the war is over, you can lead your subordinates and horses back." ”

"You're just going to let us go back like this?" Wei Xianming was surprised.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Isn't it possible to take you all down? I have summoned you here to tell you something. From now on, each of you will fight for Kyushu, and I will not participate. You can fight as much as you want, as long as you don't provoke me.

Also, tell your patriarch for me, and say that if there is any difficulty in the future, you can come to me, and I will be happy to put aside all the past grievances with them and work together to benefit the world. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, we will bring your words!"

These generals felt that Wang Mang was too inscrutable and didn't want to stay for a long time.

Now they heard Wang Mang say that they could let themselves go, and they all ran away as if they had been amnestied.

After these people from outside Liaoning were gone, Gongsun Ce said, "Lord Wang, why did you give up Liaoning?" Although the barbarian king was helped by a powerful force, he was only a little capable and did not need to worry. I believe that as long as we lead the troops back at this moment, we will be able to completely unify the entire territory of Liaoning and kill the barbarian king. ”

"The barbarian king can be killed at any time, but the force behind the barbarian king is not easy to kill." Wang Mang sneered: "It's not good for me to deal with the Huo family, the Wei family, the Wang family and other big families, lest the people of the world say that I am not benevolent." Now that I let that force go unchecked, then they will definitely start to annex these big families after they take Liaoning.

In this way, these big families will be difficult to resist and will be gradually eroded. When these things get worse to a certain extent, they will come to me for help. Wouldn't it be better if I made another move then? Another thing, since I have so much free time, I naturally have to prepare for future natural disasters. ”

"So that's what you think, sir." Gongsun Ce suddenly realized, and suddenly understood, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, this is indeed the safest and best way." Not only can the reputation be preserved, but also can be recognized by the major families, and the grievances can be resolved peacefully. ”

Wang Mang said: "The only bad thing about this plan is that I can't avenge my father-in-law sooner." Gongsun Ce, have you ever found out what the force that secretly helped the barbarian king came from? ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they don't find out. Those people are so mysterious that none of the inner agents I sent out could hide from their eyes and ears, and they couldn't penetrate them at all. ”

"You can't be blamed for this, I can only say that these people are too powerful. But they'll definitely show their feet in the future, so let them toss for now. Gongsun Ce, you can clean up later, take a few good people to the imperial capital to be officials, and help me handle the affairs of the new emperor properly. Half a year, I will only give you half a year, and you will let the new Son of Heaven ascend the throne and become the emperor no matter what.

Han Fei'er is a woman after all, and there are some things that they are not suitable for. With your support, these things are easier to do. Also, after you see Jingyan, if she wants to come here, you don't have to stop her. If you don't want to come, then it's up to her. I'll probably be here for about two years. Two years later, it will be a different story. ”

"Yes, sir, I'll clean it up." Gongsun Ce replied.

"Are your wife and children here?" Wang Mang asked again.

"They're on the way, and it's estimated that they will be there in about ten days."

"Well, you don't have to worry about your family's small things. I will take care of them. When you're done with things on your side, I'll pretty much take care of it. If you bring your family to the imperial capital, I'm afraid that there will be some danger. But in this way, it will hurt you, and you can't be with your wife and children. ”

"It's nothing, when the world is really decided, I can be with my wife. Lord Wang, I am waiting for you in the imperial capital. ”

"Go, go, be careful in everything, don't be careless, safety first."

After Gongsun Ce received the order to leave, Wang Mang said to Zhang Gongqiong: "Zhang Gongqiong, you quickly pass the order, let the soldiers of the whole army try their best to build farm tools and vigorously reclaim wasteland." It's the beginning of spring, so don't miss the time to plant seeds.

Also, in a few days, we will have a large amount of grain in Liaoning, and you must also take care of this matter, and you must not be negligent. All in all, I want you to grow me at least 3 million deniers of all kinds of grain within two years. If it doesn't work, I will kill it. ”

When Zhang Gongqiong heard Wang Mang's murderous words, her heart suddenly became nervous, "Lord Wang, your subordinates will definitely complete the task." "Okay, as long as you do this well, I won't treat you badly."
