Wang Luan's surrender made Shi Jian like a tiger with wings, and overnight, he mastered the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, Xingyang and other places, and he could almost compete with the Xihua Marquis Mansion in terms of force, and the entire Yecheng was completely under his control.

At this moment, Shi Jian vaguely felt that his final victory was coming.

Shi Min was naturally not idle, because he knew that Shi Jian would not let go of the Xihua Hou Mansion, and one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, which was the most obvious truth.

Shi Min sat there, neither speaking nor making any movements, just looking at Wen Cang, which made him a little creepy.

"Master Hou, what are you doing when you come to me today?" Wen Cang finally couldn't help but ask.

"Commander Wen, Ben Hou has always been curious about what kind of means Shi Jian used to make you willing to do things for him!" Shi Min said.

Wen Cang frowned slightly, it turned out that Shi Min was the master of Xing who asked for the crime, so he said, "Why did Master Hou say this? The forbidden army has never interfered in political affairs, let alone interacted with officials and princes in the court, so how can the officials do things for His Royal Highness King Ning? ”

"Really?" Shi Min smiled and said, "Commander Wen has also learned to speak skillfully!" I really didn't expect it. ”

"Xiaguan is telling the truth."

"Where are your wife and children now? Where is Shi Yong's family? Shi Min asked.

Wen Cang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered up: "Yecheng is chaotic, and the lower officials sent them out of the city early!" ”

"Sure enough, Commander Wen is unwilling to tell me the truth!" Shi Min sighed and said, "If I expected it to be true, your family is small and in Shi Jian's hands, right?" ”

Wen Cang pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Originally, the entire palace was controlled by you, and you obeyed Zhang Bao's orders at the beginning, although you don't want to admit it, but Ben Hou knows the truth! Your defection made Zhang Bao defeated! This was something he didn't expect! ”

"What Hou Ye said is all speculation, not to mention, Zhang Bao has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the lower officials are doing this to eliminate harm for the people! Is this also wrong? ”

"There is nothing wrong with eliminating harm for the people, but it is not worth boasting about aiding and abetting!"

"Aiding and abetting? King Ning didn't do anything rebellious! ”

Shi Min smiled slightly and said, "Look, Commander Wen, you yourself have admitted that you are doing things in the Tining Palace!" ”

"You ......" Wen Cang was speechless, but he didn't expect to be so simple as being caught by Shi Min.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Wen Cang looked at the subordinates standing at the door, and ordered, "All stand down!" ”

Seeing Wen Cang's repulsion, Shi Min understood that Wen Cang had acquiesced to all his guesses, and the situation of the conversation between the two began to be in Shi Min's hands.

"I remember that when Commander Shi Yong was here, he never bowed his head to anyone, and only obeyed the orders of Emperor Gaozu. You two are called brothers, and he also protects you everywhere, but you, the commander of Wenda, have now violated General Shi Yong's original intention and involved the forbidden army in the palace battle. ”

"I don't have a choice! If dozens of people from the Xihua Hou Mansion are held hostage, will you choose to ignore it? Wen Cang was a little excited.

Shi Min sighed silently and said, "You're right! Men should not leave their families behind, and they should not neglect the responsibilities we shoulder! ”

"So Master Hou, everything outside the Yongchang Pavilion that day was not my wish! But since Wen Cang has already taken the wrong first step, there is no room to turn back! ”

"Nope! It's too late to turn back! Shi Min said.

"Hehe, Lord Hou, with all due respect, I'm afraid that the Xihua Marquis Mansion can't fight the Ning Wangfu! I advise you to bow to King Ning's Mansion as soon as possible and seek a way to live! ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Mufeng on the side scolded: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death......

"Mu Feng!" Shi Min stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Mufeng and ordered, "Stand down!" ”

"This little brother, when I was the same age as you, I was not afraid of heaven and earth! But people must recognize the reality, otherwise they may not see the sun tomorrow! ”

"It seems that Shi Jian does have some skills!" Shi Min turned his face slightly, glanced at Wen Cang, and said: "In addition to being forced to be helpless, it seems that you also have obedience to Shi Jian. ”

"Master Hou, the lower officials know that you are the number one master of Zhao State, and there are many elite soldiers under your command, but Shi Jian's ability is not much inferior to yours, and in terms of wisdom, he is even farther above you! Now that the entire Yecheng is under his control, when he subdues the defenders around Yecheng and has enough soldiers and horses to compete with the Xihua Hou Mansion, the Xihua Hou Mansion will be at the end of the road! Wen Cang said, looked outside the door, and said to Shi Min: "For the sake of the past, Hou Ye's visit today, the lower officials will not reveal it, and Hou Ye will do it himself." ”

"If I help you regain your and Shi Yong's family, are you willing to help me?" Shi Min asked straight to the point.

"Master Hou, although you and King Ning are nominally uncles and nephews, you are not from the Qian clan, it is impossible to inherit the throne, what good can you do to fight with King Ning's mansion to the end? Can you still command the world to be unsuccessful? ”

Wen Cang's words obviously rejected Shi Min, and Shi Min was not angry, frowned slightly, glanced at Wen Cang, and said: "What Commander Wen meant, Ben Hou understands!" What a disturbance, farewell! ”

Shi Min got up and left, without looking back, Wen Cang did not keep it out of his embarrassing situation, and did not even get up to send him off.

Out of Wen Cang's mansion, Shi Min didn't say a word, put on a cloak and covered his face.

"General, this Wen Cang is too ignorant of lifting! Why didn't you just kill him just now! ”

"It's not time to startle the snake!" Shi Min responded with a side face, and said: "Now that Shi Jian's plan has been determined, he is now afraid that we have tens of thousands of brothers, and he does not dare to find out the matter, and when he is full-fledged, he will do it directly!" ”

"So what are we going to do? You can't sit still, can you? ”

"Send a message to the second uncle and the third uncle, let them find out those who can fight from the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Handan, and practice them! Get ready to head south! ”

"If you are preparing for war, I am afraid that there is not enough food and grass in Handan City, right?"

"After the Han Dynasty was drawn south, the Ao Cang in Xingyang was abandoned, the largest granary in the world, during the Qin and Han dynasties, the grain stored there was as many as several million stones, and now there is no such a big granary at all! The matter of grain and grass is really a headache! ”

"According to the general, this matter must not be delayed for too long, and it must be resolved quickly! Until autumn, we will have enough food and grass to cope with the war! ”

"Let's go home first!"

Back at the Hou Mansion, it was close to the curfew time, Xu San had already been waiting in the front hall for a long time, and when he entered the house, he saw two people sitting in the room who had never met before.

Shi Min couldn't help asking, "Third Uncle Xu, who are these two?" ”

"Meet the master!" The two of them got up at the same time and knelt down to Shi Min and saluted.

Shi Min was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are the two?" ”

"Childe, these two are the dark lines that the general planted in Yecheng back then, and all our eyes in Yecheng are under the control of these two brothers." Xu San introduced to Shi Min.

"I see!" Shi Min helped the two of them up and said, "Shi Min has never met the two, but the two have been working silently for the Xihua Marquis Mansion for decades!" Shi Min thanked the two of you for his father! ”

"Although Gongzi has never seen us, the two of us have watched Gongzi grow up, we are all people who fought with the Huns and survived the catastrophe, if it wasn't for the general personally leading the troops to break off, we would have died in Huangquan. So the lives of our brothers are all from Xihuahou Mansion! ”

The one who spoke was the man who fought with the third child that day, still dressed sloppily and in rags.

"You are dressed like this, you are really wronged!" Shi Min said.

"Don't get me wrong, Childe, we have been able to lurk in Yecheng for so many years without being discovered by Ning Wangfu, because we often change our identities, this outfit, but it has only been more than half a month! It's not a grievance! ”

"Hahahaha! So that's what happened! Shi Min smiled and said, "Two uncles, please sit down!" Let's sit down and talk! ”

Xu San beckoned the two to sit down, and said to Shi Min: "Childe, let me introduce you, this is Hong Ze, and this is Mengtai." ”

"Meng Tai can't speak, don't be surprised, if you have any orders, let the third brother tell our brothers!" Another man named Montai said.

"Third brother? Who is the third brother? Shi Min asked suspiciously.

"Childe, it's my ......" Xu San smiled and said to Shi Min.
