"Ping, it seems that the messenger sent by the Ji family is on the orders of the Ji family patriarch to send troops to attack Gansu. You stay here for a while, and then I'll come back and talk to you about the child after I've resigned. ”

Most of Gansu was plunged into a terrible natural disaster, the people were killed and wounded, many soldiers were damaged, the city was dilapidated, and the people's hearts and soldiers were in turmoil.

The main body of the Tianfeng Sword expected that the head of the Dingji family would definitely take advantage of this great opportunity to attack Gansu and kill Wang Mang.

At the beginning, he himself thought that now was indeed the best time to attack Gansu. But when he heard Wang Ping's instructions, he expected that this matter would not be so easy, and it might even allow Wang Mang to take this opportunity to completely settle the world.

Therefore, he didn't want to obey the will of the Ji family patriarch for any purpose, and he didn't want to lead his troops to Gansu. As for dissuading the Ji family patriarch, he couldn't persuade him, and the Ji family patriarch couldn't listen to his persuasion.

Wang Ping said: "How are you going to resign?" ”

"I'm sick." The Tianfeng Sword Master said: "Although I can't refuse Tianyang Mountain's order, I can still refuse the Ji family's order." Of course, if the patriarch of the Ji family came to give me an order in person, I wouldn't be able to refuse. But I don't think it's possible for him to come in person. I'm just a bit of a thug in his eyes, and I don't have much value. ”

"Okay, then you go, make a sense of proportion when you speak, don't be too tough, and save the Ji family from making trouble for you at that time." Wang Ping instructed: "My cousin once said that most of the people in the Ji family are very ruthless, if your attitude is too tough, maybe they will not find fault and retaliate." It's even possible that they'll let the people of Tianyang Mountain teach you a lesson. ”

"I know this, you can rest assured." The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord smiled and answered, then picked up a mask from the table next to him and put it on his face, then turned around and walked out the door, walking in the direction of the council hall.

When he stepped out the door, he flipped his palm and slapped his chest, and then he could only hear him snort and his body tremble.

Wang Ping heard the muffled snort, her heart was clear, she prayed silently in her heart, and then sat down at the table, lifting the brush and writing the current predicament on the brocade silk.

After a while, a letter from home had been written, and she called the maid outside the door, handed the letter to the maid, and said, "You have someone quickly send this letter to Gansu and give it to my cousin Wang Mang." Remember, it must be delivered within a month, and you can't afford to delay. ”

The maid hesitated: "Madam, do you want to talk to the master about this?" ”

"It's the same whether you say it or not, you just go ahead and do it, it's fine." Wang Ping said.

"Yes, ma'am." The maid took the letter and hurried out of the room.

Wang Ping stood outside the door and looked in the direction of Gansu and muttered: "Cousin, only you can help me in this matter, if possible, please help me this time, I really don't want to lose this child." ”

In the council hall, the messenger of the Ji family waited for about ten or twenty minutes before the Heavenly Wind Sword Lord appeared in the hall.

The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord sat high on the throne, and he said to the messenger, "Who are you?" What did the Ji family patriarch ask you to do? ”

The messenger saluted: "Meet the Sword Head, my name is Ji Yuancheng, and I am the cousin of Ji Xuan, the Lord of the Earth Sword. My patriarch asked me to come this time to ask you to immediately send 100,000 troops to attack Gansu. ”

"Send 100,000 troops?" The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord smiled dumbly and said, "You're not wrong, are you?" Most of my soldiers and horses in Liaoning have already been transferred to Yizhou and Jingzhou by the other three Four Elephant Sword Masters to help, and at present, I only have less than 30,000 men and horses here to defend it, so where do I still have 100,000 soldiers and horses? ”

The messenger Ji Yuan admitted: "My patriarch said that Lord Jianshou, you are rich in Liaoning, with a population of more than two million. I think that as long as you use a little means, it shouldn't be difficult to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses. Now Gansu has continuous natural disasters, earthquakes and frequent floods, and the soldiers under Wang Mang's command are tired of responding to disasters and have no combat power. Send troops to attack at this moment, and you will surely win. ”

"A little bit of a trick? Are you saying that I am forced to conscript? The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord asked.

Ji Yuancheng nodded, but he didn't open his mouth to give a clear answer, as if he was acquiescing.

"Hmph, forcibly conscripted to attack Gansu? It's funny to say that you will win. Are you Ji family so stupid? Is there anyone in Liaoning who doesn't have a heart for Wang Mang and doesn't miss the time when Wang Mang was in charge of Liaoning?

If I recruit these people to attack Gansu, they will not have to mutiny one by one? Otherwise, Feng Yi attacked Gansu that day, why didn't he take Liaoning's soldiers and horses? And just use the Zhuzhou soldiers and horses and the Ji family's heritage? ”

Since Liaoning was taken over by the Four Elephant Sword Lords, the Four Elephant Sword Masters left Liaoning one by one after a short time, causing the people who were really in charge of Liaoning to become barbarian kings. After the barbarian king monopolized power, he ran rampant, forcibly captured the people's daughters, demolished the hero's tomb, beat the people, and suppressed the turmoil with blood, causing the people's resentment to boil and the righteousness to be lost.

For these situations in Liaoning, the Lord of the Wind Sword is very clear in his heart. Therefore, when he returned to Liaoning, he immediately killed the barbarian king and calmed the anger in the hearts of some people.

However, it is easy to lose but difficult to gain, the people's hearts have been lost, and no matter how much the Heavenly Wind Sword Lord makes up for it, he can't completely repair the rift. He expected that the people of Liaoning were looking for Wang Mang from the bottom of their hearts, and they all hoped that Wang Mang would be able to return to Liaoning to govern.

Therefore, after killing the barbarian king, he didn't bother to waste too much energy to govern. He knows that no matter how hard he tries, even if he does something really better than Wang Mang, in the hearts of the people, Wang Mang is still the first that cannot be surpassed. Because Wang Mang is the first to come, the first to win the hearts of the people, the latecomers basically can't surpass, not to mention the tyranny of the barbarian king for a period of time in the middle.

After the Heavenly Wind Sword Lord secretly scolded the Ji family a few times in his heart, he asked Ji Yuancheng again, "What about Ji Yun, Ji Xuan, Ji Yan, Pi Tong, and Li Zhong?" Will they go to Gansu or not? ”

Ji Yuancheng shook his head and said: "I don't know the situation on their side, but before I went down the mountain, the patriarch said that he also ordered the soldiers and horses of those two places to quickly send troops together to attack Gansu." I think that as long as my patriarch's order arrives, they should all go. With such a three-way attack, where can Wang Mang turn over? ”

"Three-way flank? Isn't Patriarch Ji going to ask for Jingzhou and Yizhou? ”

The Heavenly Wind Sword Lord continued to ask: "If Li Zhong and Pi Tong send troops, then the Jingzhou Huo family and the Yizhou Wei family will definitely take advantage of the situation to fight back, in this way, wouldn't all the efforts you have made before be in vain?" Could it be that you still think that only a small number of left-behind men and horses can block the crazy counterattack of the Huo Wei family, or that you can take Gansu by mobilizing a small number of people?

Although there are continuous natural disasters in Gansu, Wang Mang should not be underestimated. If there were fewer troops, we would have just sent him food in the past, and we couldn't help him at all. ”

"I don't know." Ji Yuancheng shook his head and said, "My patriarch may have other arrangements. Also, Wang Mang's value seems to be greater than that of the Huo family and the Wei family combined.

If you can destroy Wang Mang first, and then clean up Huo Wei's family, it is estimated that it will not be a difficult task, at most it will take some effort. However, if Wang Mang is not destroyed, it will be really difficult to take him down in the future. Now that there is a huge natural disaster in Gansu, this is our only chance. ”
