As soon as Wang Gui left, Liu Bao's face suddenly closed with a smile, and his eyes looked at Cheng Chu, "Cheng Chu, this Wang Gang said that he wanted to surrender, do you think it is true or false?"

Cheng Chu pondered for a moment, and said: "Wang Gang is the official under Zhang Yuan, and his position is prominent, even if he changes to the little prince, the official position is only like this, and Zhang Yuan has always been treacherous, so he thinks it is better to be cautious."

Cheng Chu's meaning is naturally that he doesn't believe that Wang Gang's surrender is true, on the other hand, it is also because the Wang family and the Cheng family were originally two major families in Bingzhou, so he naturally didn't want Wang Gang to also submit to Liu Bao and sit with his Cheng family.

"Cheng is out of the way." The voice fell, and Liluo retorted: "I heard that the Wang family even did not hesitate to divorce Zhang Yuan in order to marry Wang Hui, but was rejected by Zhang Yuan, the two sides were very stiff, Wang Gang also gave Wang Hui advice several times, wanting to deal with Wang Gang, and now Wang Gang has no choice but to submit to Zhang Yuan, and it is reasonable to be suspicious of Zhang Yuan, I think that his return to seven points is true." ”

But he wished that Wang Gang could join in to check and balance Cheng Cheng, so that he could benefit from the fisherman and take advantage of the competition between Wang and Chen to secure his position as the mastermind.

"Even so, how can you be sure that Wang Gang's surrender is true, is it only based on that letter and a few words from a so-called cronie and a slave" Cheng Chu immediately asked rhetorically.

He smiled and stroked his short beard and said: "This is also simple, since the messenger said that Zhang Yuan beat Wang Gang's military stick in public, we only need to find out whether it is true or false from the eyeliner in the city, and naturally we will know whether Wang Gang is true or false." ”

Having said that, Liu Bao was most likely inclined to the judgment of the fall, and immediately ordered to go down and make the eyeliner in the city return as soon as possible.

Soon, Xihezhong sent back the news that Wang Gang had indeed missed three days due to grain transportation, and was ordered by Zhang Yuan to be beaten with thirty military sticks at the instigation of Fan Lihua and Zu Di.

After this beating of the military sticks, Wang Gang was beaten with flesh and blood, not only meticulously, but also more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians in the city witnessed it at the same time.

The return of the meticulous work further corroborated the judgment of the fall, and convinced Liu Bao that Wang Gang's intention to surrender was absolutely true.

After finding out the fact that Wang Gang was beaten, Liu Bao sent a fine marriage to Wang Gang, urging him to offer grain and grass as soon as possible, and repeatedly promised to reuse Wang Gang.

Wang Gang also sent Wang Gui to the camp three times and twice, showing his sincerity in surrendering many times, and asked Liu Bao to wait patiently, only waiting for his injuries to heal a little, and personally escorting the grain and grass, which was the day when he offered grain and returned to obedience.

Five days later, Wang Gui secretly came to Liu Jun's camp again, and Liu Bao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately summoned him into the tent for questioning.

"Little prince, two days later, my lord will personally escort 300,000 grains and grass from the northeast trail of the West River.

Liu Bao had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and he was suddenly overjoyed, so excited that he got up and laughed: "I finally waited for this day, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, I really want to destroy you, and Bingzhou is destined to be my Liu Bao's, haha"

After laughing wildly, Liu Bao said happily: "You should quickly go and tell Wang Zizhong that the general will send elite soldiers to rob the grain and grass and bring him to the camp, and a certain general will prepare good wine and meat in the tent, waiting for him to come and have a good drink." ”

Wang Gui was overjoyed, thanked him in a hurry, and hurriedly left.

As soon as Wang Gui left, Liu Bao immediately ordered to quickly summon his confidants, civil and military generals, to come to the discussion.

The order was handed down, and after a short time, important civil and military forces such as Helian, Youliu, Lianzhu, Rouge, Liluo, and Cheng Out all came.

Liu Bao glanced around at everyone and sneered: "I have received Wang Gang's reply, and in two days he will return with 300,000 grains and grass, as long as we get these 300,000 grains and grasses, our grain and grass problems will be solved." ”

When the generals heard that they were going to war, their blood boiled in a blink of an eye, and they all geared up to hunt with murderous intent.

Although Liu Bao was convinced of Wang Gang's surrender, he still did not rashly send troops and horses, but also sent a team of scouts and light horsemen to reconnoiter the grain transportation trail that Wang Gang said.

Half a day later, the scout returned and brought back information that made Liu Bao completely reassured:

On the trail northeast of the West River, a grain transport team was indeed mobilized and was marching towards the east gate of the West River.

Liu Bao's face was already murderous, and he asked excitedly: "How many grain trucks, how many soldiers and horses are escorted?"

"There are more than 100 grain trucks and more than 1,000 soldiers and horses."

More than 100 vehicles should be able to hold 300,000 grains and grass, and only more than 1,000 soldiers guarding grain are not vulnerable at all.

The corners of Liu Bao's mouth were slightly raised, his hand stroked his chin, and a cold smile rose between his eyebrows.

Rouge next to him said excitedly: "Father, since the information is accurate, this is really going to destroy Zhang Yuan's kid, and his daughter will personally lead a team of soldiers and horses to rob that kid's grain and grass to avenge his previous injury to his daughter." ”

Liu Bao's face was a little proud, and he smiled happily: "Very good, my father will allocate you 3,000 elite soldiers, and order you to lead the troops with Helian, and go to rob the grain and grass for my father." ”

Liu Bao immediately gave an order, but knew that his daughter was too anxious to stand alone, so he ordered Helian to lead the troops with her.

"Father, you just wait for the good news from Lingji." Rouge was so excited that he had to retreat.

Liu Bao got up and walked to the tent door, standing with his hands in his hands, his heroic face was undisguised with pride, "Wang Gang betrayed, and lost another 300,000 grains and grass, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, even if you are scheming, you are hit by this double blow, see how you still fight with me." ”

At night, the West River, the inner hall of the state capital.

Under the flickering lights, Wang Gang lay on the couch, his face pale, apparently not recovering from the military stick of that day.

Footsteps sounded, the door creaked open, Wang Gang looked up, but saw Zhang Yuan had walked in.

Seeing that he was too guarded inside, Wang Gang hurriedly wanted to get up, and moved slightly, but the wound was involved, and he grinned in pain.

"Zizhong, you are injured, just don't move while lying on your stomach." Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and gently helped him down, with a caring smile on his face.

Wang Gang lay down again, his eyes were grateful, but he smiled bitterly: "Lord, you are too heavy, and you almost killed me." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled apologetically, "No way, in order not to reveal flaws, except for Pear Blossom and General Zu, no one knows about this strategy, and those soldiers don't know the truth, so they will naturally not show mercy." ”

"I just understood, it's just a joke, the worse they beat me, the more Liu Bao will believe that my defection is true, after all, he has a wise and resourceful person like Er Chen under his command, and if he wants to deceive those two, how can he do it without suffering a little."

After listening to Wang Gang's words, the little resentment that remained in Zhang Yuan's heart against him was also gone at this moment.

He patted Wang Gang on the shoulder, and said: "Zi Zhong is willing to make such a big sacrifice, I might as well give you a secret, after the end of this battle, the grievances between the Wang family and me, this will be a hook, from now on, our lords and ministers will work together to create a great cause, as long as I Zhang Yuan has meat to eat, your Wang family will definitely have soup to drink." ”

Zhang Yuan's heartfelt words, hearing Wang Gang is moved and emotional, a big stone pressed in his heart finally landed.

He knew that Zhang Yuan had reused him before, but in fact, he had used a little more ingredients, and he was still angry about what he Wang Gang had done.

Now, he, Wang Gang, did not hesitate to suffer a heavy injury, took a beating, and helped Zhang Yuan implement this bitter plan, and finally used practical actions to eliminate Zhang Yuan's mustard against his Wang family. (To be continued.) )
