Chapter 406: Wuhuan forms an alliance with the new dynasty
"Your Majesty, Cen Peng has successfully negotiated with Wu Huan. Now, Wuhuan Shan Yu is willing to form an alliance with our new dynasty! Da Sima Yan You said with a smile.
Wang Mang felt strange and asked, "How did he convince Wu Huan?" β
Da Sima Yanyou talked about the experience:
After Cen Peng arrived in Wuhuan, he told Wuhuan Shan Yu about Wang Mang:
"Lord Sima! In fact, the armor was borrowed by Master Fu Yan! β
"How so? King Dingtao is already the crown prince! Since this is the case, does Fu Yan need to rebel? β
At this moment, Wang Mang's face was completely incredulous. He thought to himself: Not really! Fu Yan wouldn't be so confused, right? If you rebel now, wouldn't you even be the crown prince? It's really stupid!
Chen Tang saw that Wang Mang was still so hesitant, and thought: If Lord Sima is still so naΓ―ve, our big man will be in danger. Fu Yan clearly wants to take action to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seize the throne!
Wang Mang continued: "General Chen Tang. Lone still thinks that maybe you are too careful! Could it be that someone else borrowed it? Are you misremembering? β
"No! Borrowing armor is such a big thing. How could Wechen be mistaken? Am I a fool? β
"General Chen Tang, I believe it! You should indeed have lent it to Fu Yan. However, Fu Yan can't be so bold, right? King Dingtao is already His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Does he need to take a risk? β
Chen Tang saw that Wang Mang was still so pedantic, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he shouted: "Lord Sima! You're wrong! Fu Yan's character, I understand! He belongs to that kind of gambler. He got some and wanted more! He only has interests in his heart, not family affection. He may be afraid that after His Majesty has a prince, he will rebel and depose the crown prince of King Dingtao! β
Wang Mang thought to himself: Yes! Chen Tang is not unreasonable! Perhaps, Fu Yan had already planned to usurp the throne! What a terrible thing!
"General Chen Tang. Lone thinks it's a terrible thing! This is a shocking conspiracy! If you really let Fu Yan implement his plan. I'm afraid that our Han temple is in danger! β
Chen Tang continued: "Yes! Lord Sima! It's a conspiracy! β
"But this thing. We still have to make big things small, small things! Otherwise, it may force Fu Yan and others to rebel! β
Wang Mang looked at Chen Tang timidly, his eyes a little confused. He thought to himself: If this continues, Fu Xiangguo will really rebel. Our Han Empire will surely set off a bloody storm!
Wang Mang seemed to see a group of soldiers carrying the flag of Dingtao State showing off their might in the city tower.
The soldiers of Dingtao barked, "We have won. β
The sound was as creepy as a wolf's howl.
"Wang Mang! We are sons and daughters. I'll just get straight to the point! Why are you so cowardly? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fu Xiangguo are basically plotting to usurp the throne! Do you not indulge them in such a way as to tolerate adultery? β
Chen Tang's eyes felt sore, and tears poured down like a waterfall of a yellow fruit tree. He wept sadly: "Lord Sima! It's really dangerous for you to take it for granted! Crown Prince Liu Xin is a two-faced wolf. He was ostensibly a virtuous gentleman. In fact, there are all male thieves and female prostitutes in secret! β
"General Chen Tang, after all, you were born in the army, and you don't know that the world can be edified! Not everything in this world has to be solved by force! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and he can be educated! β
Wang Mang is still a person like a head, and he still pretends to be a saint.
"Wang Mang! You're really stupid to read! The rivers and lakes are sinister! Can people talk so well? Do you think they are all good babies? β
Wang Mang's bookish spirit is destined for him to be planted again.
The next day, Wang Mang summoned Fu Yan.
"Fu Xiangguo! I still miss you very much! You are training soldiers in Dingtao Country to consolidate national defense! What a general! β
Fu Yan had just sat down, and when he heard what Wang Mang said, he suddenly trembled with fright, as if he had epilepsy.
"Could it be that Lord Sima asked: Is it about the official's six thousand pairs of armor?"
"You don't need a hammer to beat the drum! Fu Xiangguo is indeed witty! This official admires it! β
"Yes! Recently, there are villains who say that the official is going to rebel. This official is just wronged! This official is just to consolidate the armament of our Dingtao! Now that there are many disasters and famines, there are too many anti-thieves! β
"Really? Do you just say it alone? Fu Xiangguo is the uncle of the current crown prince! How can there be a rebellion! In that case, when will the six thousand pairs of armor be returned? β
"Tomorrow! It's just for recruits training! β
Fu Yan thought to himself: This Wang Mang just became the big Sima, so he gave me such a dismissal. He's not easy! It seems that the official can't underestimate him in the future! Otherwise, it's going to be troublesome! Wang Mang still has two hits!
Fu Yan's blood was already swollen at this time, trembling all over, and sweat soaked through his jet-black official uniform. His caps were already wobbly.
"Good! Lone will be waiting for you at the Great Sima Mansion tomorrow to see if the armor is damaged. If it is damaged. You have to pay for it! β
Fu Yan turned his eyes sideways and thought: What should I do? That batch of armor, the official has already smuggled it to the Huns! Isn't that revealing? Now the armor in the arsenal of the Dingtao Kingdom has long been rusty! What to do? Where can I find that batch of armor?
Wang Mang thought to himself: Seeing Fu Yan's frightened appearance like this, he guessed that he must have done something unsightly with that batch of armor! It's up to you to do it! If you go on like this, Lone will forgive you. Our Han court captain can't spare you!
Fu Yan saw Wang Mang looking at him so calmly, and thought: Wang Mang probably doesn't know anything! Now the only way to go is to the traders who are smuggling weapons. As long as they are willing to sell their armor to their own officials. Even if it's ten times the price, the official will admit it. Anyway, it's to break the wealth and avoid disasters!
Wang Mang thought to himself: Now, Fu Yan is really in trouble! It's up to him to see what he does!
Fu Yan stood up and whispered, "Okay! Lord Sima. Xiaguan will rush to Dingtao Country to clean up the arsenal now! Let's get the weapon back tomorrow! β
Wang Mang smiled: "Yes! Hopefully, tomorrow, you can come soon! β
Fu Yan hurriedly turned around and walked out of the Great Sima Mansion.
After listening to this, Wuhuan Shan Yu said: "Wang Mang is really kind-hearted! It's great that we're allied with your new dynasty! β
