Chapter Twenty-Eight: "The Empty Apparatus"

Few people know about Pei Gai and Cheng Yao's secret correspondence. If he is still in Xuzhou, if this matter is leaked, it will be detrimental to his reputation, but now that he has become a great Sima and stayed in Chang'an, Taiwan, his identity is different, and the perception that may be caused to people will naturally be different - everyone will believe that it must be Pei Gong who wants to lure Cheng Yao into the intermittent time.

But for Cheng Ziyuan, no matter what the identity of the other party is, if this matter is leaked, he will be ruined - Shi Le will definitely not let him go, and Zhang Bin also took this opportunity to step on it hard.

Therefore, this matter must not be leaked lightly, and of course Wang Gong will not tell Wen Qiao to know. He just said:

"Every time Pei Gong takes the slave as a great trouble for the country, and the cloud, the slave becomes powerful, and if he has Zhang Bin by his side, he wants to defeat the slave, and he must first make his monarch and ministers discord......

When Wen Qiao heard this, he nodded again and again: "What Pei Gong said is true." ”

Wang Gong continued: "Therefore, Pei Gong asked me to take the east matter, and asked me to secretly study the situation, and find an opportunity to use Shi and Zhang ......" At this point, he paused, and then said with a slightly bitter smile: "Before Gong left Chang'an, I thought that this matter was not difficult, but to Pei Gongyun, this will make Shi Le kill Zhang Bin with his own hands." However, after coming to the east, he repeatedly plotted, but he couldn't touch Zhang Bin, and he was deeply ashamed......" pointed to the letter left on the desk: "I can't hide it, I also have a visit in Xiangguo, and this book inquires about Zhang Bin's strategy, but unfortunately, there is nothing to do." ”

Wen Qiao asked: "I know that Zhang Bin is the master of the slaves, but I don't know what to do to make Wang Jun tie his hands?" ”

Zhang Mengsun became famous in later generations, because Shi Le Shicheng became the emperor, and Zhang Bin took up the post of "great law enforcement", and his power leaned inside and outside. Today's history has not come to that point, Shi Le is just a town warlord, although Zhang Bin is the bull ear of his ministers, outsiders also know that he is Shi Le's right-hand man, but what specific plan did he set up for Shi Le? What is he capable of, and what has he accomplished? Not many people know - even Wen Qiao, who is about to face Shi Le.

Wang Gong sighed lightly and said, "If you talk about Zhang Bin's ability, there are two things that can be seen. Then he arched his hand towards Wen Qiao: "I just got the information, and I haven't had time to inform Wen Jun yet, don't be surprised-the matter of Duan Youzhou's southern expedition to Jizhou has been decisively settled." ”

When Wen Qiao heard this, he was really taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why not?" ”

Wang Gong said: "This is Zhang Bin's plan...... so Zhang Bin designed Duan Piyan to summon Duan Ji and Lu to the meeting, and then made Duan Moqi secretly obstruct it, and explained in detail the cause and effect - this half was obtained by him by relying on the intelligence network, and the other half was also made up by Cheng Yao in this letter. Then he also said Zhang Bin's suggestion to Shile to make Li return to the town to pacify the displaced people.

Wen Qiao couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Good calculation...... In this way, this Zhang Binji is good and peaceful, and it is a great disaster for the country! ”

Wang Gong nodded and said: "Even if it is not as good as Liuhou and Chen Chengxiang, it is also the Fan Zeng of the slaves." And the slave is dedicated to trust, just like Xiang Yu's letter to Fan Zeng, and Zhang Binzhi's cautiousness, and above Fan Zeng, he is a guest behind closed doors, retreats without personal friends, and is not friends or parties...... I really have no gaps! ”

Zhang Bin was actually arrogant, so Wang Gong had only planned to ask Cheng Yao to trap him by relying on a fake letter, who would have thought that Zhang Mengsun was extremely slippery, and slipped away when he found a gap, and Cheng Yao could only cut off one of his tails - Zhang Pi - only. And this matter is tantamount to startling the snake, because of Zhang Pi's death, Cheng Yao's momentum is even stronger, and Zhang Bin deeply feels that Shi Le still has a certain suspicion and reservation about himself, so he is all his body, and he has been a man since then......

Wang Gong therefore said: "What he did is quite similar to Jia Wen and after Tou Cao, the slave is not taboo, what can I do?" Asked Wen Qiao: "Do you have anything to teach me?" ”

The two talked for a while, and Wang Gong realized that this General Wen was also a resourceful man. Of course, Wen Qiao is upright, and when it comes to engaging in conspiracy and trickery, he is definitely not as good as himself, but as the saying goes, "the stones of other mountains can be wrong", maybe he can come up with any good ideas? No matter how smart you are, you will inevitably miss something, maybe Wen Qiao will find some opportunities?

If it weren't for the intention of asking, why would Wang Gong reveal his mission to Wen Qiao?

Wen Qiao held the wine cup and was silent for a long time. Wang Gong waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party didn't react, he said in his heart that you probably didn't have a trick, so he asked, "What do you think?" "As long as Wen Qiao said: I'm thinking about what you said, but I don't understand; Or: Fang thinks about other things, then Wang Gong can take the opportunity to divert the topic, so as not to be cold.

Who would have thought that Wen Qiao would be silent again, and suddenly replied: "What I think is in Ji Han's Xun Lingjun." ”

Wang Gong couldn't help but be at a loss, and hurriedly asked, "What about Xun Wenruo?" ”

Wen Qiao drank all the wine in the lacquer cup in one gulp, and then asked rhetorically: "It is rumored that Wei Wu fed Xun Ling food, but it was an empty vessel, Xun Ling was depressed, and he knew that he could not tolerate Wei Wu, so he committed suicide with medicine - I don't know how credible this is?" Without waiting for Wang Gong to answer, he asked again: "And why did Wei Wu want to harm Xun Ling and hurt himself?" ”

Wang Gong replied thoughtfully: "Wei Wu gradually abolished the courtesy of the ministers, Dong Zhao and others please add Jiuxi, Xun Ling advised, so he touched Wei Wu's anger ......" His eyes suddenly lit up: "Wen Jun's intention is to make the slave stand on his back, and if Zhang Bin admonishes him, he will not allow the slave?" ”

Wen Qiao nodded, and then asked three questions in a row: "Wang Jun thinks that today's powerful person is who is except for the slaves?" His power is great, and he is not on good terms with Liu Cang, so the generals under his command really refuse to have different intentions? However, in today's situation, whether the karnu are loyal to Hu or turn their backs on Hu, which is beneficial? ”

If Pei Gai and Zu Ti are not regarded as the same force, and they are separated, then any of them, with their control over a wide territory, the prosperity of their households, and their power in the group, are all inferior to Shile - of course, half of Shile's Jizhou and almost the entire merge state are still empty, and it will take time to calm down and integrate.

So since Shi Le's power is so great that no one in the world can compare with him, is he still willing to be only a vassal of Hu Han? Now the strength of the Pingyang regime is estimated to be less than sixty percent of Shile's, how can the monarch be small and the minister is big, how can it be safe for a long time? In addition, Liu Cang and Shi Le are not on good terms, and the world knows that once Liu Cong hangs up and Liu Cang succeeds to the throne, how likely is it that he and Shi Le will continue to maintain even superficial harmony, and will not immediately meet each other?

People are ambitious, but they just want to increase or decrease according to the situation. Even if Shi Le himself still wants to be a loyal minister of Hu Han, and there are many generals under his command, will no one covet it? Will one or two Dong Zhao's generations jump out, and also put forward any suggestions to add nine tin, claim the king, or even practice Zuo directly in Xiangguo?

But doing so, in Wen Qiao's opinion, is actually very unwise. Because of today's general trend, the Jin Dynasty has gradually stabilized its foothold, blocking Hu Shi north of the Yellow River, north and south, Jin is big and Hu is small. If Pingyang and Xiangguo can work together, there is still a possibility of salvaging the situation, and if there is a discord, then Jin will have a gap to take advantage of. Even if it can't shake Shile for a while, Pei Gaigazu is enough to completely end Pingyang, which lacks foreign aid from the east. If Hu Han is destroyed, Shile's chances of survival alone will inevitably become smaller.

Therefore, far-sighted people will not hope that Shi Le will tear his face with Pingyang in the short term, if Zhang Bin is really as resourceful as Wang Gong said, so capable, then he will inevitably persuade Shi Le to suspend self-reliance just like Xun Yu advised Cao Cao. But in this way, he stood on the opposite side of the support of the ministers-there are few far-sighted people, and those who want to make a contribution to the support must be the majority-Qianfu pointed out, can Zhang Mengsun still be as relaxed and calm as he is now?

Besides, Cao Cao's hero, his relationship with Xun Yu may not be under Shi Le and Zhang Bin now, but Li Ling Zhi is faint, even Cao Cao will be suspicious of Xun Yu, can he Shi Le be more wise than Cao Cao?

There is no need to be heavy on the drum, Wen Qiao only asked three questions, and all the analysis and judgment were integrated into it, and Wang Gong listened to it and understood it. But Wang Gong thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Or Zhang Bin can't see this...... "Everyone may have a time when they are confusedβ€”β€”" Or for self-protection, and go along with the public, and do not admonish the slaves, how to deal with it? ”

Wen Qiao said with a smile: "Then Hu and Zhang are divided, and it is a great benefit to the country, and if it is a slave and Zhang, what is there to worry about?" ”

Wang Gong couldn't help laughing: "I know." Then he picked up the wine cup and saluted Wen Qiao: "What is Zhang Bin, Wen Jun is really good, peaceful Ya Yan, Jin is a king, and the country is lucky!" ”

Wen Taizhen's words woke up the dreamer, and after Wang Gong sent him away, he immediately wrote a reply to Cheng Yao. In the letter, he first analyzed the current situation, explaining that the world is strong, and there is no more than Shi Gong, so why should Shi Gong cling to the Pingyang regime anymore and be low and small? I really should go further. So Cheng Ziyuan, if you can build this support, are you afraid that you won't be able to kick Zhang Bin over, or even step on the soles of your feet?

Wang Gongcai is not worried that Cheng Yao himself is very far-sighted, and he doesn't want Shi Le to be self-reliant or at least self-reliant in a short period of time, the two sides have also dealt with each other a lot, how can Cheng Ziyuan be like a person, can he still be unclear? In his letter to Pei Gai, Wang Gong once compared Cheng Yao to Guo Tu and Xiao Ji, who were good at infighting under the warlord Yuan Shao of the Ji Han Dynasty.

Of course, Cheng Yao can't jump out and make the first bird by himself, he has to first incite the generals to support him and get a broad mass base before he can follow Dong Zhao's example. I thought that there was a stupid uncle named Geng Bao under Yuan Shao's hands back then, but he didn't see the situation clearly, and there was no public opinion to help, so he dared to run to persuade Yuan Shao: "Red virtue is exhausted, Yuan is Huang Yin, and it is advisable to obey the will of heaven." Yuan Benchu consulted his ministers all over the court, but no one agreed, but he was forced to kill Geng Bao to show that he had no disagreement with the court. In Wang Gong's view, Cheng Yao is stupid, but there is a lower limit, and he will not follow Geng Bao's mistakes.

In this way, it is necessary to build momentum first. How do you build momentum? There are two points, one is to strengthen Shile's strength, and the other is to make Shile's generals more disgusted with the Pingyang regime. The former, Wang Gong, will definitely not help Cheng Yao come up with an idea - my duty is to weaken the karma, how can I help the karma to sit big? For the latter, he had a clever idea.

That is, let Cheng Yao forge the secret book of Pingyang and lure the generals under Shi Le's command - this plan will never be revealed, and it is impossible for Shi Le to throw the fake book in Liu Can's face and question it, right? And even if Liu Cang denies it, will Shi Le believe it?

To tell the truth, Wang Gong suspects that he doesn't have to plot by himself, Pingyang must have started doing this a long time ago, but the scope is still too small, and the intensity is not enough, it doesn't matter, we can help fan the flames.

If there is a fake book, Cheng Yao can find it out immediately to build a miracle. However, it is estimated that most of the generals will definitely report the fake book to Shi Le to understand their own intentions, so can Shi Le not hate the Binh Duong regime even more? The generals under his command are naturally worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and they will not say any good things about Pingyang anymore. As long as the group discussion is raging, they all want to turn their backs on Pingyang and stand on their own, then the plan behind it will come naturally......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Time flies, like flowing water, and shortly before the autumn harvest of that year, Shi Le finally gathered 15,000 soldiers and horsesβ€”of course, he didn't really transfer back to Shihu and other troops from Bingzhouβ€”and drove to the end again. Shao Xu got the news from Wang Gong in advance, and hurriedly asked Su Jun and Duan Piyan for help.

Duan Wenyang asked for his life again and led his army south to save him. As for Xuzhou, Su Jun had an agreement with Cao Wei, and the army was not Weishui - although this was not a covenant, it was just an agreement, and it was originally something to tear and play, but under the premise that his own preparations were not sufficient, it was not yet time to tear it up- so he politely refused Shao Xu's request, but promised to supply some supplies.

So how should the materials be transported? Su Jun sent an envoy south to ask Bian Yan for help, and Bian Yan immediately summoned his subordinate guards to defend him.

Wei Xun was originally engaged in Huaihai by Pei's office, and was not only responsible for water control projects, sea salt steaming, but also asked him to build boats and ships to prosper maritime trade. After he received Bian Yan's order, he immediately mobilized dozens of large ships to transport supplies to Leling Kingdom in Hebei Province - of course, before arriving, he had to go to Chengyang to say hello to Su Jun.

Su Jun got the reward, so he rode his horse to the shore and waited. From Gumu to the east is Qianxi, under the jurisdiction of Jiji City, which used to be the land of Juguo, and its territory is near the sea - that is, the west side of Jiaozhou Bay in later generations. Let's say that Su Zigao set off from Jiji City and arrived at the seaside according to the agreed date, but saw that in the rough waves, countless sail shadows slowly rose......

He was shocked on the spot and fell directly off the horse's back - fortunately, he twisted his waist and bent his legs in time to stand firm, pretending that he had jumped off the horse on his own initiative, and did not embarrass himself in front of his subordinates.

To say that Su Zigao is not uninformed, and he is from Donglaiye County, which is not very far from the vast sea, and he has seen a lot of boats, but ...... I've never seen so many ships of this size!

He had seen fishing boats on the beach in the past, and compared with the big ships in front of him, they were like silver carp and whale sharks; He had also seen river boats carrying grain on inland rivers, and I am afraid that ten of them were put together, and they were not as large as this one.

After waiting for a long time, the ship finally approached the shore, got off the rock, and then put down a small boat and carried the guards to the city. When the two sides met and saluted, Su Jun's attitude was still quite enthusiastic.

- In fact, with Su Jun's current identity and status, he is more than one step higher than Wei Xun, but he knows that the other party is Pei Gongwei's former official, so how dare he slack off and put on a show?

Wei Xun turned around, pointed to the fleet, and said, "Six thousand stones of bran wheat, a hundred bows, three hundred bundles of arrows, ten collars of armor, and six hundred spearheads of fine iron are enough to cover the second place." As he spoke, he smiled at Su Jun, which means: We subsidize Shao Xu with so many materials, shouldn't the price drop? In fact, no matter how much you get, you can get it, but Shao Xu only has a total of how many soldiers, and it is useless to give more.

Su Jun said repeatedly: "Enough, enough." Then he bowed his hand to the guard: "Ask the guard, can this ship carry troops?" ”
