Chapter 489: Drowsy, sedentary, etc
As soon as Wang Mang came to Baiyin Pass, after meeting with the eight main generals, he said many things, pointed them out one by one, and strictly ordered them to be suppressed.
However, although he said a lot about military affairs and soldiers, he didn't mention a word about Ji Yun and a few people, as if he had completely forgotten it.
As the supreme commander of the three armed forces, he issued various military orders, and the commanders did not dare to disobey or rely on the strength of their own family to show off their might.
Because although Wang Mang had never dealt with them before, since Wang Mang led the army, he had to retreat step by step with the oppressive Xiongnu Dadan Yu, and completely lost his fierce momentum. They asked themselves if they were not as good as Da Danyu, and they didn't dare to fight against Wang Mang at this juncture.
If Wang Mang didn't come, they would still dare to make trouble, and they had many other selfish thoughts. Now that Wang Mang came, they were all honest, like a good baby.
This situation is as if Wang Mang is their teacher. When facing the teacher, this group of students did not dare to make mistakes, listened to the lecture in accordance with the rules, and obeyed any orders.
Of course, Wang Mang didn't give any excessive orders, did not force them to hand over their military power, and everything was done in accordance with the rules.
After Wang Mang finished talking about the affairs in the army, he turned his attention to Yang Hong and Murong Xin, and asked, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that something happened to Jinchangguan? ”
Yang Hong replied: "Lord Qiqi, the last general is here to deliver the letter. ”
"Sending a message? What letter to send? ”
"Send you a big order, and the letter is on the table in front of you. On the second day after you left Jinchang Pass, Da Shan Yu sent a messenger to Jinchang Pass, and instructed General Wang Xianzhi to deliver the letter to you. I ask you to go to the Alpa Plain between the Silver Pass and the Weiwu Pass to negotiate in ten days. According to the Courier, you can go or not. ”
"Negotiations? He asked me to negotiate? ”
Wang Mang was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Yes, my lord, that's what the Messenger said. He also said that if you don't go, you will bear the consequences. General Wang Xianzhi didn't dare to delay, for fear that there would be some disparity between Da Dan and Yu, so he specially asked me to send the letter urgently for 800 miles. ”
When Yang Hong said this, Liu Zhi, Huo Changhai, Zhang Gongqiong and others also spoke: "Lord Wang, a few days ago, Da Shan Yu also sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it must be given to you. We have already sent the letter to Jinchang Pass.
The messenger's statement was consistent with General Zhang Hong's. The messenger said that Da Danyu did not know where you were, and had written two letters so that the letters would be delivered to you. ”
Wang Mang nodded, closed his eyes and pondered silently, without speaking or looking at the letter on the table.
He didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, so they all sat and waited.
A minute passed, and Wang Mang did not open his eyes.
Ten minutes passed, and Wang Mang still didn't open his eyes.
Half an hour has passed, and Wang Mang is still like this.
Many of the generals in the hall fidgeted and felt very uncomfortable. It's not opening, it's not opening.
After two hours, the peace was finally broken.
But it wasn't the people present who broke the peace, it was the people who walked in from the outside.
There are a total of four of these people, it is Ji Xuan, Ji Yan, Ji Shuang, and Ji Xue.
Since Ji Xue saw that Wang Mang came back safely, she hurriedly found Ji Xuan and the others and told them about the situation.
When Ji Xuan and the three of them heard this, they almost vomited blood and died.
They had just discussed that they were going to kill Wang Mang. Now that Wang Mang has returned safely, nothing has happened, which makes them feel like they have fallen from heaven to hell.
After they heard the news, they sighed a few times, and then packed up their minds one by one and hurriedly came to hear what arrangements Wang Mang had.
As for Ji Xue, she has also adjusted her mentality now, as if she has never had any intimate relationship with Wang Mang, very calm.
As soon as the four of them entered the hall, they saw Wang Mang sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and silent, and many of the generals below were also like fugue too void and did not speak.
This strange situation shocked Ji Xuan and the others, they didn't know what was going on, and wondered why these people sat one by one without speaking.
They walked to Liu Zhi's side in a soft voice and asked in a low voice, "Master Liu, what are you doing here?" Cultivating the Tao? Why don't you speak? ”
Liu Zhi made a boo gesture at them, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang is thinking about sending someone to deliver a letter. We speculated that there must be a major mystery in Da Shan Yu sending someone to deliver the letter, so he didn't dare to speak, for fear of disrupting Wang Mang's thoughts. ”
"I see!" Ji Yan nodded, understanding everyone's approach very well.
"When thinking about a major issue, you really can't be too noisy next to you, otherwise it is easy to be interrupted and it will be difficult to come up with a clever plan. Wang Mang has a heavy responsibility, and he has to consider many issues, and he can't be careless. ”
"He's thinking?" Ji Xue secretly glanced at Wang Mang with a pair of apricot eyes, and then quickly changed her direction, as if she didn't dare to look at Wang Mang.
After glancing at it, she frowned slightly, and then said to Liu Zhi: "Master Liu, I don't think he is thinking about a problem, but asleep." ”
"He's asleep? Not thinking about the problem? It's true? ”
"It's not like you're thinking about it. Maybe he was too tired these days, and now he has free time, so he fell asleep unconsciously. I've seen him do this before. Ji Xue said affirmatively.
Liu Zhi rolled his eyes and looked Wang Mang up and down.
He looked at it for about half a minute, and then called out softly, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang...."
He called several times in a row, and Wang Mang was awakened, "What's the matter?" What happened? Did the Huns call? ”
"I ....."
When everyone saw Wang Mang's reaction, they didn't know that Wang Mang was really asleep just now, and he wasn't thinking about a big thing.
When the generals thought of this, they almost vomited blood in anger.
Wang Mang saw everyone's expressions, wiped his eyes, and thought about it for a while.
When he remembered what had happened, he said with an embarrassed face: "Generals, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep with a little bit of eyes, and everyone waited for a long time, but this is mine, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, my lord, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and your energy is not high, this is also normal." Although there was some fire in the hearts of the people, what they said was better than what they sang.
Wang Mang said to Liu Zhi: "General Liu, you still have eyesight, and you can see that I am asleep." If you hadn't woken me up in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long I would have delayed you. ”
When Liu Zhi heard this, his face turned red, and he said, "Lord Wang, I didn't find out. It was Miss Ji Xue who told me that you didn't seem to be thinking about a problem, as if you were asleep, so I called softly. ”
"Is it Ji Xue?"
Wang Mang glanced at Ji Xue and knew it in his heart.
Ji Xue and Wang Mang have been together for a month or two, so Ji Xue knows some of Wang Mang's mannerisms and gestures well.
Now that Ji Xue was looked at by Wang Mang like this, she felt a little guilty in her heart, thinking that she shouldn't tell Liu Zhi, and Wang Mang didn't sleep well.
