Chapter 33: Plotting to send troops

On the third day after Wang Shuo talked with Bailiyan, Wang Rui and her mother left the house and went to their hometown to save their relatives under heavy guard. Before leaving, Bailiyan did not forget to tell her again and again, asking her to remember to eat sea salt, eggs, milk and jujubes in rations, this time, I don't know when I will be able to see her again, maybe from now on it will be the end of the world and never see each other again.

When I was leaving, I heard Rui'er's sweet and intimate voice, like a wind chime:

"Brother Yanzi, wait for me, you must wait for me to come back......"

Bai Liyan stared, her mood was difficult to calm down, and she burst into tears for the first time when she looked at the back that disappeared at the end.

The day after Wang Rui left, Bailiyan instructed the palace guards of the Jin army to go to the Proton Mansion to withdraw consumables and prepare for this expedition to the west.

In the afternoon, the palace guards of the Jin Kingdom dragged a large cart, with jars and wooden boxes on the car, and loaded a whole cart. As a rule, all items were inspected by the palace officials around the King of Jin to prevent the entrainment of letters and collusion in private.

Just when Baili Yan changed his clothes and accessories, the palace officials of the Jin Dynasty seemed to find out, threw down the package, and rummaged through it. At this time, Wang Shuo returned to his house and shouted what the palace officials did:

"Bold, who is so presumptuous, don't you know where this place is!"

The palace official was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed and said:

"General Huiwang, the little one is also acting on orders."

"Presumptuous, this government has applied a degree, and you have been searched. Get lost! ”

"No!"

As soon as the eunuchs dispersed, Wang Shuo stepped forward to pick up Baili Yan's shirt, and recognized it at a glance that it was Rui'er's stitches. With tears in his eyes, he forcibly restrained himself. Then put away the clothes and put them back into the cloth bag. At this moment, I suddenly felt something in my hand.

"Shhhh......h

Wang Shuo touched it carefully and found that there was a difference in the cuffs of the shirt, and the cuffs of the right hand were obviously thicker than the left hand, which was not so abnormal compared to other clothes.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo remained silent, and ordered someone to drag the cart into the mansion, at this time Baili Yan was still in the prime minister's mansion and did not return, Wang Shuo came to the inner house, and let people unload the items from the car and put them in Baili Yan's bedroom.

After a while, when there was no one around, Wang Shuo turned out his shirt, took out a dagger and picked up the needle and thread, and found that there was a silk book inside. When he opened it, Wang Shuo was shocked.

The content is to remind Bailiyan that the king of Jin is planning a westward expedition, and he is secretly stepping up his plot to assassinate him, and wants Bailiyan to take the opportunity to propose to Wang Shuo to go north with the army.

Seeing this, Wang Shuo was already able to guess that the person who set up this scheme must be Wu Suan, and he even had no doubt that Sai Qian's acceptance of apprentices back then was also Wu Suan's strategy.

"Wu Shuna......" Wang Shuo said secretly in his heart, his eyes were even more complicated.

Obviously, except for Wu Suan, few people know the dispatch of the Jin army, Wu Suan supervises the construction of warships, how many warships are dispatched, he knows everything about how many soldiers he can carry, and when the war will start, he can predict. Now, secretly pointing out Gongzi Yan, his meaning is obvious.

"How can this be?"

Wang Shuo's heart was full of contradictions, he didn't want to assassinate Bailiyan, but now Wu Shu secretly helped, which shook Wang Shuo's will even more.

He could immediately report this letter to the King of Jin, so that Wu Xuan would die, and Bailiyan would also die. But Wang Shuo was determined to hide the matter and close his eyes.

Wu Suan is a master of the Ligong faction, and he will not leak the news of the military aircraft. Pingtang City is far away from the front line, and Wu Suan does not know the deployment of the Northern Army, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets. As for Bailiyan, Wang Shuo hesitated, he was still thinking about it. But this letter, Wang Shuo finally burned it, and it would be a disaster to keep it.

So that night, Bai Liyan returned to Wang Shuo's mansion, everything was as calm as ever, without any warning, Bai Liyan missed the last opportunity by mistake.

A few days later, at night, the Jin Palace, through the inner hall of the palace, the Jin State lurked in the Xian State spies on a boat starry night, and sent the news of the Xian civil strife to the Jin State, and the Jin King learned that the Xian State was in turmoil, and quickly summoned Fan Tao to discuss the matter:

"Aiqing, Xianguo is in chaos, can we send troops now?"

"Not the king, Fengyang Jun is still on the way to Pingtang City, the 20,000 Xianguo army under his command has not crossed the border of Xianguo and joined the northern army, the king does not have the name of the division, so for today's plan, Wang Shuo should be ordered to lead the army to the north by land, and join forces with the northern army.

At the same time, after Fengyangjun arrived in Pingtang, the king immediately escorted Fengyangjun to the world in the name of crusading against rebellious ministers and thieves, and rushed by land and water to catch up with Wang Shuo and join the northern army. Then the inside and outside should join forces to break through the border of the Xian State. ”

"If Fengyangjun's 20,000 defenders are wiped out, won't you lose the opportunity?"

"Definitely. At present, the ministers of the Xian king, five or six out of ten oppose Gongsun Yue, and various places have raised troops to crusade, and the Xian country is busy with the extermination of the rebellious party and the rebellious ministers. What's more, Fengyangjun garrisoned the border, and the army of Xianguo was out of reach for a while, so the king could wait with peace of mind until Fengyang Hou arrived in Pingtang City. ”

Fengyang Jun Jiang He is the eldest brother of Jiang Hai, the monarch of Xianguo, because of the abolition of the elder and young, Jiang He was dissatisfied, and the Xian civil strife was designed by the King of Jin to induce him to incite rebellion, causing the Xian civil unrest and inducing rebellion.

The reason why the previous monarch of Xianguo abolished the elder and established the young was that he saw that he had been at war with Zhiguo all the year round, and the national strength and people's power had been greatly lost.

The second son, Jiang Hai, was a friendly person, strict with himself and lenient with others, and advocated reducing taxes to develop agriculture and commerce, and was supported by grassroots officials and ordinary people. Jiang He advocated attaching to the Jin State and Zhiguo, and was supported by half of the middle and high-level princes and doctors, so he was deposed, and Jiang Hai succeeded to the throne and named Jiang He as Fengyang Jun, and has been confined in the fief. But people can be encircled, but people's influence and political legacy cannot be encircled, and once it spills over and is infected, it will break out on a large scale like a plague.

Even so, Fengyangjun secretly crossed Chencang under the support of the Jin State for many years, raising 20,000 private soldiers.

After receiving the secret report, King Jin reported the news to Xiangguo Gongshu Kuo that night, and Xiangguo Gongshu Kuo seconded the proposal. So the next day, in the name of discussing the implementation of the "Bingtian System", the King of Jin held a secret military meeting to accelerate the final war preparations for the crusade against the Xian State.

The meeting lasted for four days, Wang Shuo served as the Sima envoy of the Northern Army, commanded the army and horses to the north, and the Northern Army conquered the Northern Army to conquer the general Han He, and the governor attacked the battle of Xian.

Sima Envoy is equivalent to the military division and chief of staff, and at the same time has the post of supervising the army, and his rights are parallel to the positions of the four generals of the north, east, west, and south. Above Sima envoy and the four major generals, there are Taiwei and Grand Sima.

The governor of the Taiwei is responsible to the king for the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and is controlled by the king, not by the prime minister. Da Sima is subordinate to the State Administration and has a separate government office, and its functions are equivalent to those of the Taiwei, but the functions are different, and it is mainly used to balance the rights of the Taiwei.

The powers of the two are not absolutely constant, and many princes also have the phenomenon of exchanging the powers of the Taiwei and the Great Sima, which depends on the change of power in the inner dynasty and the will of the monarch.

At present, the Jin State is the king of Jin concurrently serving as the captain, the king of Jin himself is the governor of the world's soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and the uncle of Xiangguo is concurrently serving as the great Sima, after falling ill, under the instruction of the king of Jin, in fact, Fan Tao is in charge. This is why the Jin Kingdom has been peaceful for so many years, there have been no mutinies, and to a large extent, the King of Jin has managed the army to death.

It was late at night, four days after the closed-door meeting, and Bai Liyan waited anxiously in the mansion, and all the signs indicated that the war had only happened in the past few days. Wang Shuo entered the palace for four days in a row and did not return, obviously it could not be a trivial matter, it was either a big war or a catastrophe.

With Wang Shuo's qualifications, Bailiyan really couldn't think of what military position King Jin could grant Wang Shuo. The Jin Kingdom has not fought a major battle of more than 100,000 people for more than 40 years, and there are only a handful of 50,000 people in the war, the army has no combat experience, and the generals have no experience in commanding the army, so it is difficult to say what the result of this battle will be.

Anxiously waiting, the time blink of an eye saw that it was almost early in the morning, the horses' hooves sounded on the night road in the market, and Wang Shuo rode a fast horse galloping to the mansion. When Bailiyan heard the news, he immediately came to the front yard:

"Father-in-law."

"You haven't rested." Wang Shuo said, looking Bailiyan up and down carefully.

"My father-in-law entered the palace for a few days and didn't return, and I was very worried."

"The son of the world should go and rest quickly, and at the end of the morning, he will immediately go out with his father."

"Yin Shi!"

At the end of the day, it was about half past three in the morning, that is, it was a secret march, not a fanfare. It means that the front line has not started yet, waiting for Wang Shuo to go to the division, or before Wang Shuo arrives, the war will start.

Seeing that Bai Liyan did not respond for a long time, Wang Shuo said harshly:

"Military orders are like mountains, military law is ruthless, the prince should not disrespect the order and disobey the military order, even if the prince is the son of the country, the army is also treated equally."

"No! It's just that whether my father-in-law can allow my son to return home, I'm worried about ......"

Without waiting for the voice to fall, Wang Shuo cut off and said:

"How can the military aircraft be a child's play, if you leak the slightest bit of news and put my Jin army in danger, what crime should the son of the world be guilty of, let's go down and rest.

"No!" Bailiyan gave a deep salute, and then left gloomily.

Back in his bedroom, Bai Liyan lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, looking at it so closely, how could he escape, he didn't even let the news go, once he went out with the army, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

After a short rest, the time has passed when I wake up. Without waiting to wash, Bailiyan stepped on her bags and joined Wang Shuo in the front yard, and then took dozens of cronies and guards out of the house together, and rode straight to the south gate.

Except for a bag and five days' worth of dry rations, all the quartermaster's baggage was handed over to the quartermaster a few days ago, and the military supplies were sent to the front. In this way, the army can be lightly armed, and the cities will be responsible for receiving food along the way.
