Chapter 366: Private Meeting with Zhang Xutuo

THANKS TO NETIZEN FRANKLIN FOR HIS MONTHLY TICKET SUPPORT, ALTHOUGH TIANDAO DOES NOT ASK FOR A MONTHLY PASS, BUT IT IS STILL VERY TOUCHING TO SEE THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF BOOK FRIENDS. Tiandao will continue to update steadily this month to repay your love......

Wang Shichong's face sank suddenly, and he was still a little surprised that Zhang Xutuo was so straightforward: "I don't understand what General Zhang is saying." ”

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Xutuo's eyes: "General Wang, my words have come to this point, why are you still pretending to be stupid and ignoring it, General Zhang came back early to discuss that matter with you, I thought you would do your best to stop it, but I didn't expect you to agree with his approach." ”

Wang Shichong was basically sure that Zhang Xutuo was not here to test himself, and Shi Wansui didn't have this need to let him get anything from him, so he looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one else within a hundred steps nearby, he smiled slightly: "General Zhang, you are Marshal Shi's favorite general, and this time you have followed him all the way to chase the enemy, even you can't persuade him, how can I, an outsider, stop Marshal Shi?" ”

Zhang Xutuo's eyes were blazing, he took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Although I was also temporarily promoted to General Yitong because of my military exploits, after all, I have a relationship with Marshal Shi who is superior and superior, and General Wang's opinion, Marshal Shi attaches great importance to it, otherwise he would not rush back to deliberately obtain your support before acting. ”

Wang Shichong replied calmly: "General Zhang, I see that you still haven't figured out the situation, Marshal Shi didn't come to me to discuss at all, but directly asked how to distribute the gold, and it is not a secret, Marshal Shi knew about the abundance of gold in Ningzhou before the expedition." I also had the intention of earning a vote for myself after the victory.

Because he is in a high position after all, and the authority to open the government allows him to have a large number of elite soldiers and fierce generals as private soldiers, and at the same time, he also has to bear the military salary expenses of so many parts, and the place to use money is much more than that of us, General Zhang, you have been in the army for many years, don't you even know these truths? ”

Zhang Xutuo closed his eyes and shook his head: "Of course I understand this truth, but this money is too dangerous, and you don't know the relationship between His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Marshal Shi." He is now looking for an opportunity to grab Marshal Shi's handle, this money is definitely not available now, General Wang, will you not know what to do with a smart person like you? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, his mind was racing in thought. It is obviously not the time to fully explain to Zhang Xutuo, and it is necessary to further figure out his intentions. He's here to complain. Or do you want to change your court and switch to yourself, or do you want to pull yourself in and then make a suggestion to Shi Wansui? This is also what Wang Shichong wants to figure out now, if he can take this opportunity to improve his relationship with Zhang Xutuo and make him his friend in the future, it will be the biggest gain of this southern expedition.

So Wang Shichong said: "It's not that I don't understand this truth, and it's not that I haven't told Marshal Shi. But he was full of confidence, saying that as long as Ningzhou did not have an accident during the time he returned to Daxing, the emperor would not hold him responsible, and said that the emperor was most worried about the generals was to support the army and respect themselves. If you are interested in power, if you are just greedy for money, you won't care much, I can't convince him, so I can only persuade him to be more wary of Wan Zhiguang and Yuanshi sent by the King of Shu, and the other is that the gold is not in a hurry to share, and I will talk about it after I get out of the Shu realm.

General Zhang, I have done my best to persuade Marshal Shi, and now all we can do is pray, pray that Ningzhou will not have an accident during the time we return to the army. ”

Zhang Xutuo was speechless for a long time, and then sighed: "It seems that I am wrong to blame General Wang, Xu Tuo originally thought that General Wang was born as a businessman, heavy on money and greedy for profit, so he instigated Marshal Shi to accept bribes and release the enemy marshal privately, I didn't expect that General Wang also persuaded Marshal Shi like me, Su Tuo spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and made amends to you!" After speaking, he officially gave Wang Shichong a long bow to his waist.

Wang Shichong smiled and helped Zhang Xutuo: "It turns out that General Zhang thinks like this, but it's no wonder, maybe in your eyes, I am a businessman better than a soldier, alas, in fact, I am also quite regretful, the number of battles for the country is not small, almost every major war in the country since the opening of the emperor can catch up, but in the eyes of your General Zhang, or in the eyes of the world, I Wang Shichong is still a businessman, not a soldier." When he said this, his expression became lonely, and the green light in his eyes became dim.

Zhang Xutuo hurriedly said: "No, General Wang, I didn't mean that, you have fought more battles than me, and your judgment and performance in the battle formation made me Zhang Xutuo also very convinced, what I said just now mainly means that you, General Wang, may think more about things after the war, not that you are not a soldier." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "The general is victorious, how can it be on the battlefield, the enemy on the battlefield is visible, just ahead, after getting off the battlefield, the enemy may become the closest comrade-in-arms, this is a helpless thing, and now Marshal Shi has also encountered this situation."

To be honest, the industry that my Wang Shichong runs is still a little rich, and I don't need to use the war to earn some money for myself to raise private soldiers like him, so I refused to share the money this time, General Zhang, since you came to me today, it shows your sincerity, you might as well tell you the truth, I think even if we can leave Shu Realm safely and arrive in Guanzhong, you had better not ask for this hot money. ”

Zhang Xutuo immediately said: "General Wang, I won't ask for this money, and I hope Marshal Shi doesn't want it, now we haven't crossed the Lushui, if you cross the Lushui and enter the realm of Bashu, it is impossible to make up for it, today I came to you, just to see your attitude, since you are also against Marshal Shi collecting money to indulge the enemy, then we will go together to persuade Marshal Shi, ask him to take back his life, and recapture the Brother Xuan, even if the Xuanzhen people are in Dongjiao, it is not easy to capture, but the Jiazhen people are Wei County, and there is no problem to take him down." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "General Zhang, this is a thankless task, Marshal Shi has worked so hard to finally get this money, how can he watch this money go down the drain?" If I could, he would have listened to me that day, would he have waited until now?

Besides, if the army returns to the division now, I am afraid that the planner who hears the wind will escape, even if we take 10,000 steps back, we can recapture the planing brothers, then their clansmen will definitely poke out the matter of Marshal Shi collecting money and letting them go, and when the time comes, Wan Zhiguang and Yuanshi will hear it, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu will also make a fuss about this matter, which is called taking the initiative to give people a handle!"

Zhang Xutuo was speechless, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "General Wang, according to what you said, I came to you today, is it too much?" Is there no way to salvage the situation? ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, and after looking around again, he walked to Zhang Xutuo's side, and said in a low voice: "No, in fact, I am also worried about this matter, that Wan Zhiguang has obviously set his eyes on Marshal Shi, Marshal Shi's fifty boxes of gold are too heavy, although they are mixed on the baggage car, but it is obviously much deeper than the wheel prints of other cars, I am afraid that Wan Zhiguang already knows which cars have gold on them, as soon as he enters the Bashu realm, I think he will find someone to check the gold on this car, and when the time comes, he will ask people to get the stolen goods, and Marshal Shi can't defend it at all." ”

Zhang Xutuo was so anxious that his voice was a few degrees higher: "There is such a thing? What the hell is going to do about that?!" He already faintly saw large beads of sweat on his head, obviously really worried about his handsome situation.

Wang Shichong realized that this was an excellent opportunity, and some of the words he said might not be listened to by Shi Wansui, but the effect of Zhang Xutuo's words was completely different. He smiled slightly: "Actually, there is a good way, it depends on whether General Zhang is willing to make suggestions to Marshal Shi." ”

Zhang Xutuo perked up: "What other good way?" ”

Wang Shichong pointed to the Lushui in front of him and said with a smile: "Actually, it's simple, as long as you sink these gold into this Lushui, you will no longer be afraid of others finding out." ”

Zhang Xutuo first had a happy face, and then a sad face: "But it is too difficult to ask Marshal Shi to take the initiative to sink gold in Lushui, now it is all Marshal Shi's personal guards guarding the gold, if we do it ourselves, we will definitely not be able to hide it from him." ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "As long as General Zhang helps, I have my own clever plan!" (To be continued......)
