Chapter 679: Finding an Opportunity to Rescue and Sending a Courier (II)
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and three months had passed since Wang Mang ordered the unification of Gansu.
In these three months, the pattern of Kyushu has undergone earth-shaking changes. I don't know how many people die in the war every day, and I don't know how many small forces and small nobles are wiped out. I don't know how many rebel armies were suppressed in the cradle.
After three months of fighting, all forces suffered heavy losses, and the land of Kyushu was full of holes.
The Ji family wanted to settle the world in a war and force the Ziji Emperor Wei Mingjun to be born, but the Huo family and the Wei family were unwilling to be suppressed and fought hard. Wang Mang wanted to take advantage of this time difference to open up the passage of the whole territory of Gansu, and by the way, he took advantage of the situation to force Huo Wei and the two families to give up their dream of becoming emperors.
The rest of the big and small forces, such as the Xue family in Guangxi, the Guo family in Yangzhou, the Song family in Liangzhou, and other princely families, are also in full swing, and they all want to take advantage of the great opportunity for the Ji family to contain Huo Wei's two top families to develop and grow, and take the opportunity to annex other families.
As for the Wang family in Xuzhou, the Wang family was defeated by the enemy army from all sides, losing three-quarters of the land, and only two prefectures and counties were still in their hands.
In the mighty pass of Gansu, Wang Mang held two letters in his hands, and his whole face was pale.
These two letters, one was sent by Wu Yazi, and the other was sent by Han Fei'er.
Originally, these two letters should have been delivered to Wang Mang as scheduled, but at present, Kyushu is in turmoil and the heroes are fighting, which makes it extremely inconvenient for the letters to come and go, so it was delayed for a month or two before they were delivered to Wang Mang.
"Damn bastards, you're looking for death." Wang Mang's eyes were staring at the letter sent by Han Fei'er, his eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and he couldn't wait to lead the army to kill immediately.
"Xianggong, what happened?"
Shangguan Ningxuan had never seen Wang Mang so angry, and now when she saw it, she couldn't help but shudder.
In her opinion, there should be nothing worthy of Wang Mang's anger at present. After all, although the reunification of Gansu has been blocked by the Ji family, the process is still slowly advancing, and the previously set half a year should be able to successfully complete this plan.
"Yes, Xianggong, what happened to you, why are you so angry?" Wang Jingyan was puzzled: "Could it be that something happened to Huo Rongsheng?" But I heard that Huo Rongsheng's progress is relatively smooth. At present, there are only two counties left in Gansu that have not been unified, and the rest of the places have been taken by us. Could it be that the Ji family transferred all their troops to Gansu?
But even if the Ji family transfers all the troops, we have so many invulnerable armor, the Ji family may not be able to help us, right? If it really doesn't work, let's stop all other plans for the time being, and first concentrate all our forces to fight to the death with the Ji family. ”
"It's not Huo Rongsheng's business, it's something else." Wang Mang's eyes shot out two cold electric lights, revealing a murderous aura, and he explained to the two women: "Two months ago, the Heavenly Wind Sword Lord was invited by Feng Yi to go to the imperial capital to investigate the matter of the Xinlong Inn. That day, the Wind Sword Master's martial arts were so strong that it was impossible to guard against. He found Han Fei'er and the others hiding in Qishan, and captured my cousin. ”
"What? The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord captured your cousin? Shangguan Ningxuan exclaimed, "How would he, a top grandmaster, do such a shameless thing? Han Fei'er, are they okay? What about the others? ”
"Han Fei'er, they are fine for the time being. The Heavenly Wind Sword Master believed that his identity was extraordinary, and he disdained to do anything to Han Fei'er and others who didn't know martial arts, nor did he want to kill those scholars who had no power and no cause and effect, so he only captured my cousin and asked me to tell him all my arrangements within half a year. Otherwise, he will tear up the ticket. ”
"It's a bit of a tough thing to handle." Wang Jingyan said: "The Heavenly Wind Sword Master has a strong martial arts, and if we want to catch him, there is basically no hope. If we lead the army to take revenge on Liaoning, I am afraid it is unlikely.
Also, my uncle has a daughter like Wang Ping left, if we don't save it, I'm afraid that my uncle will be cold. You'd better tell your uncle about this and ask him what he means. ”
Wang Mang said: "It's useless to tell my uncle, it will only worry him." Besides, with my uncle's temperament, can he still let us take care of this? Although my cousin had some conflicts with me before, I got along better with her after that. If I don't pay attention to this, how can I feel at ease?
It's just that it's very difficult to save her, and it's a bit difficult to do. If I tell the Heavenly Wind Sword Master all my plans in accordance with the treaty, he will definitely sabotage my operation, and maybe even tear up the ticket because of his dishonesty. ”
"Save my cousin, I must save it." Wang Jingyan said: "But how to save it, we have to think carefully, and we can't be impulsive." The Heavenly Wind Sword Master was not comparable to ordinary people, and if he acted rashly, he was afraid that he would fall into a treacherous scheme, and the gains would outweigh the losses. ”
"Xianggong, I'll go through this matter." Shangguan Ningxuan said: "Although my martial arts are not as good as the Lord of the Wind Sword, my body skills are not inferior to him. I went to Liaoning to find out the situation, if there is a chance, I will rescue my cousin, if there is no chance, I will think of another way. Besides, you don't have any great masters here to do this. ”
"You? You can't. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "That Wind Sword Lord is too shameless to do such a shameless thing. If you are found by him, will not a great disaster befall you? ”
"Then we can't just sit here and wait, right? Could it be that you still think that with Wang Ping's ability, she can still escape the control of the Lord of the Wind Sword? ”
"Let me think about it." Wang Mang kept rubbing his eyebrows, feeling pressured and anxious.
For him, not saving Wang Ping is the best choice. It's just that if he doesn't want to find a way to rescue, he can't help it. And it's not just Wang Ping, even if the Tianfeng Sword Master captures Han Fei'er and the others, he will find a way to rescue them. Because this matter is related to the fundamental issue of establishment, it cannot be measured by interests.
Wang Mang thought about it for a long time, and read the two secret letters in his hand many times, especially the secret letter sent by Wuyazi a few more times.
"For the time being, this matter can only rely on her to go and find out the situation." Wang Mang gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Xuan, you help me find that Su Rong'er." ”
"Su Rong'er? Okay, I'll bring her here. Shangguan Ningxuan hurriedly got up and walked outside.
Wang Jingyan saw that Wang Mang was not in a good mood,
I didn't bother to say anything else, just sat quietly on the sidelines, secretly thinking about solutions.
After a while, Shangguan Ningxuan led Su Rong'er to the hall.
