Chapter 65: The Villain
Liu Xiang was arrogant and domineering, Wang Lei's heart suddenly became angry, and he couldn't wait to leave on the spot.
However, his face was calm, he suppressed his anger, and said: "Back to Your Highness, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the army into Zhongshan Kingdom, and the momentum was fierce and terrifying. In the thirteen counties of Zhongshan Kingdom, the county orders of each county all surrendered, but Wuji County and Xinshi County swore not to surrender. It is not easy to resist the enemy army, and at present, all the forces in the county are used to strengthen the defense and increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and there is no money left to raise the singer. ”
He got up and walked to the center of the hall, pointed to the wine and meat on the desk, and said solemnly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the table of wine and meat on this desk was purchased with only a little money left in the treasury, and Wuji County has been exhausted, and there is no extra money. ”
The prime minister of Zhongshan snorted and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Who is to blame for the poverty of Wuji County? Of course, it's your fault for the county order, if you have outstanding ability, you won't even have a few singers. ”
The prime minister is Wang Lei's top boss, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Wang Lei replied: "The war is ruthless, if Yuan Shao had not started the war, Wuji County would naturally not be like this." Because of Yan Liang's invasion, all the money in Wuji County has been used to purchase battle armor and weapons, which is the reason for poverty. If the Prime Minister can lead the army to stop Yan Liang's army, I will not be like this. ”
"You...... Rude! ”
Zhongshan Guoxiang's face turned red, and he was angry in his heart.
The county order in front of me is so bold.
Wang Lei took a deep breath and said lightly: "The humble position just stated a fact, and I dare not be rude." Yan Liang's army has entered, and Wuji County may be attacked at any time, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan still has the leisure to watch singing and dancing, which is really inappropriate. The Prime Minister is the ruling official of the Zhongshan Kingdom appointed by the Son of Heaven, who is responsible for the safety of thousands of people, and also takes into account the duties of assisting His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan. His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan made a mistake, and the adults did not admonish and correct it, but they helped to abuse it, and the Minister of State did so, Wang Lei did not dare to agree. ”
"You...... Daring! ”
The prime minister's body trembled, and he felt even more embarrassed.
He couldn't wait to cut off Wang Lei's head, this kid was too arrogant.
Liu Xiang's face was ugly and he was also very unhappy.
Guo Jia sat in the back with a smile, looking like he was watching a good show.
At this time, Liu Tuo, the king of Rencheng, opened his mouth and said, "Virtuous nephew, the old man has to congratulate you." ”
"Oh, where does the joy come from?" Liu Xiang asked.
Liu Tuo threw off his sleeves and said with a smile: "Take a look at my Hejian country, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the army into the country, and no one from the county stood up to resist, and they all submitted to Yuan Shao." On the other hand, in Zhongshan Kingdom, there is such a loyal person as Wang Xianling under the command of the virtuous nephew, how can he not be overjoyed? Wang County's order is straightforward and admonishable, noble and admirable. The virtuous nephew has such a virtuous talent, the old man is envious! ”
This time, Liu Xiang turned his anger into joy, and his mood became happy again.
What Liu Xiang cared about was losing face in front of Liu Tuo, Liu Tuo took the initiative to praise and gave Liu Xiang a step down, so the anger in Liu Xiang's heart also dissipated.
It's a pity that the anger of the prime minister of Zhongshan is still there.
Wang Lei returned to his seat, and the banquet continued.
It didn't take long for a rush of footsteps to come from outside the hall.
A soldier ran to Wang Lei's side and whispered something in a low voice. After hearing this, Wang Lei waved his hand to let the soldiers leave, and then got up and said: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the King of Rencheng, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army have left Lunu County and are heading to Wuji County to kill. The lowly duty must immediately return to the barracks and direct the soldiers to meet the enemy. I can't entertain the two Highnesses anymore, please forgive me. ”
Liu Xiang waved his hand and said, "Go down, go down!" ”
The Prime Minister of Zhongshan rolled his eyes and interjected: "Your Highness, Wuji County is the last checkpoint of Zhongshan Kingdom. If Wuji County fails, we can only go south to Julu County to take refuge. This battle was very important, and the humble position thought that the two highnesses had to personally check the gates, so it was better for the two highnesses to go to the military camp with Wang Xianling to assist Wang Xianling in formulating policies so as not to make mistakes. ”
Wang Lei's face changed, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhongshan Guoguo's face was proud.
Liu Xiang felt that the Prime Minister's suggestion was good, and said with a smile: "Wang County Order, rest assured, this king and Uncle Wang will not interfere in the war in Wuji County, but just watch from the sidelines." After the feast, we went to the barracks together. ”
The corners of Wang Lei's mouth twitched, holding back the intention of killing.
This minister of Zhongshan is really a-stirring stick, and he wants to die tightly.
The villain is a relative!
This person is undoubtedly a disgusting villain.
Wang Lei couldn't refuse, and said: "Since Your Highness has a heart, please follow me to the barracks." The group began to prepare, and soon, Wang Lei and Guo Jia took Liu Xiang, Liu Tuo and some officials to go, and the rest returned to the post house. The military camp was outside the city, and on the way there, Wang Lei and Guo Jia had a carriage.
Wang Lei shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Fengxiao, the people who are restrained are really disgusting. Knowing this, they should have cut off their way to Wuji County and let them be caught by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. ”
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Lord, everything has advantages and disadvantages. We kept the King of Rencheng and the King of Zhongshan, and the publicity of this matter was of great help to the reputation of the lord. It's just that how to make them obedient depends on the means of the lord. ”
Wang Lei rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this matter was not simple.
Coming outside the barracks, the carriage stopped.
Seeing this, the minister of Zhongshan frowned, and scolded loudly: "Wang County Order, the King of Zhongshan and the King of Hejian have come to the military camp, can't they still drive a carriage into the military camp?" Let the soldiers at the gate back out of the way and let the carriage enter the barracks. ”
He couldn't get used to Wang Lei, so he began to provoke again.
Liu Xiang trusted the minister very much, and he himself was unwilling to get off the carriage, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and commanded undoubtedly: "Wang Xianling, time is urgent, enter the barracks." ”
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you can only enter the barracks when you get off the carriage." ”
"Hmmm......"
Liu Xiangyi frowned, and his chubby face flashed with displeasure.
Wang Lei snorted in his heart, he didn't put Liu Xiang in his eyes, and said lightly: "During the period of Emperor Wen, because of the fierceness of the Huns, he personally went to inspect the military camp. When the emperor arrived outside the camp where Zhou Yafu was stationed, the front army arrived, but was stopped outside the camp, even though the forward soldiers informed the guards guarding the gate that the Son of Heaven had come to condole, but the commander of the military gate refused on the grounds that 'the army only listened to Zhou Yafu's orders and did not listen to the edicts of the Son of Heaven', making it difficult for the emperor's convoy to advance. ”
"Emperor Wen arrived, and the envoy took the emperor's talisman to report, and Zhou Yafu opened the gate to greet him."
"I thought that the carriages could enter, but the guards stationed there told Emperor Wen's entourage, saying, 'Zhou Yafu ordered that no carriages and horses should gallop in the barracks', and stopped a large number of carriages. Emperor Wen, the respect of a country, listened to the words of the soldiers guarding the camp, not only did not get angry, but readily agreed with Zhou Yafu's decision, appreciating that such a military camp is the real military camp. ”
After a pause, Wang Lei said lightly: "Emperor Wen is the respect of a country, and he can still follow the rules of the military camp, isn't His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan not complying?" I know that His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan is broad-minded and can listen to advice, but he was misled by the people below. ”
His gaze swept over the country and the country in his eyes.
In an instant, the prime minister's face was hot.
The prime minister scolded Wang Lei for being cunning, and even moved out of Emperor Wen to threaten. With such words, not to mention a Han clan king like King Zhongshan, even if the Son of Heaven is in person, he will not dare to refute.
Liu Xiang, the king of Zhongshan, glared at the prime minister, and had to get out of the carriage obediently. He walked slowly and said with a smile: "Wang Xianling said very well, lead the way ahead!" Immediately afterwards, Liu Tuo also got out of the carriage.
Soon, everyone got out of the carriage and headed towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
