Wang Shichong had an amiable smile on his face, and said to Wan Zhiguang: "In fact, Wan joined the army should also know me, I have some property at home, and I don't expect to make a fortune by fighting wars, and I can make military achievements and be promoted, this is my main purpose for joining the army to conquer the south, but although Marshal Shi is polite to me on the face and obedient to his words, when it comes to sharing the merits, he has nothing to do with me, and he doesn't even bring me to pursue the plan, which really disappoints me." Therefore, I deeply understand the dissatisfaction and anger of Wan joining the army. ”

Wan Zhiguang nodded, but there was still a look of disbelief on his face: "General Wang, a smart person like you, you won't become friends with me because of this kind of grievance, otherwise why have you never talked to me about this matter in Wei County for so many days?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "That's because although I was not happy with Shi Wansui's arrangement at that time, but I didn't want to turn my face with him because of this matter, I didn't want to come to the southern expedition this time, but the high servant shot my name in front of the emperor, so I had to come, after seeing the dispute between His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Shi Wansui, I even held the idea that no fault is merit, just thinking that I could get through it safely, I also had some military merits in the first battle of Weixian, and I should be promoted enough after I went back, so I was not so urgent to catch the pursuit of the enemy's leader. ”

Wan Zhiguang's face was still full of suspicion: "In that case, why are you coming to me again now?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "It's not because Shi Wansui accepted bribes and secretly released the enemy commander, I can bear it regardless of my credit, but if I implicate his greed, I can't bear it, I can't say that I worked hard to come to Ningzhou, and I will lose my official position and dismiss the surname Shi in the end." ”

Wan Zhiguang nodded. But there was still a little disbelief in my heart: "Then why don't you write to the emperor to expose Shi Banzai." Are you looking for me? If I tell His Royal Highness the King of Shu. You can't get out of it. Besides, you also know very well that I have already verified Shi Wansui's bribery, and now I have come to report to me, is it too late? ”

Wang Shichong made a mysterious expression and lowered his voice: "Wan joined the army, I said just now, in fact, you are not without a handle in Shi Wansui's hands, if you really sue him for his black state." If you find out his gold on the spot, I am afraid that you may not have your good fruit to eat.

Our emperor you may not know much about it, he is not responsible for the generals and ministers who have contributed to the country, as long as there are no more accidents in Ningzhou, Shi Wansui will not pursue the matter of accepting bribes and arsoning with the enemy, when I followed Han to capture the tiger and General Han to destroy Chen, General Han also emptied the inner treasury of the Chen Palace, and also set up arson to rape the palace maid of Chen State. Such a big crime is only because of General Han's great merit of breaking the country and capturing the king. The emperor just didn't add a duke to him, and the other rewards were exactly the same as General He Ruobi He Ruo, I don't know if Wan joined the army has ever heard of it? ”

After the destruction of Chen, Han captured the tiger and He Ruobi, and the two generals competed for merit at the state banquet, all women and children in the world knew, and Wan Zhiguang naturally heard about it, and he suddenly realized that what he wanted to do was likely to steal chickens and rice, and the whole person felt bad.

Wang Shichong saw Wan Zhiguang's expression, and he knew that this guy had already begun to take the bait, sneered in his heart, but continued to say: "I know that Wan Dao Wan joined the army and was very loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, in order to let the King of Shu breathe a sigh of relief and bring down Shi Wansui, he did not hesitate to risk offending Shi Wansui and collect evidence of his crimes, but you have to know that Lu Dao, Shi Wansui is a national general after all, and this time he has made great contributions to Pingnan, even if he is really caught taking bribes and arsoning with the enemy, as long as there is no rebellion in Ningzhou again, the emperor will not do anything to him, At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be tired of offending the generals of the entire Guanlong family, which will not be good for his major affairs. ”

Wan Zhiguang lost his voice and said, "Big deal? What big can our king do?!"

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu's thoughts, everyone knows that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the prince, and there are often easy to save moves, if it weren't for the high servant who married the prince to oppose it, I am afraid that this matter has already been done, this time the high servant shot recommended Shi Wanzai to conquer Ningzhou, just want to marry Shi Wanzai, and in the future, a member of the Dora will stand on the side of the prince. ”

Wan Zhiguang said in a low voice: "General Wang, since you have broken this matter, what is your position in this battle for the crown?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The holy will is unpredictable, the last world does not hold a position on this matter, the emperor decides who will succeed him, then the world will be loyal to which prince, this is also the attitude of most officials in Daxing now, so the world has no intention of interfering in the great cause of the king of Shu, please forgive me for this." ”

Wan Zhiguang suddenly felt that he had been led by the nose by this Wang Shichong, and even a little like a fool, he said a little angrily: "Since you don't want to be loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, tell me what to do so uselessly, make me happy?" General Wang, although you are very smart, don't think that I am a wooden head. ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "Wan joins the army, don't be impatient, if it's a stupid person, I don't have to talk to him about military affairs, right?" The current situation is very clear, you yourself are not clean, if you rashly report Shi Wansui now, it is likely that you will not die by beating the snake, but will be bitten by the snake, so I want to help you think of a way to report Shi Wansui and make yourself safe. ”

Wan Zhiguang's eyes lit up: "What's the best way?" Say it. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Actually, it's simple, don't come forward to testify against Shi Wansui, but write a secret letter to the King of Shu, explain the stakes, and ask him to send an envoy to ask Shi Wansui directly for gold, if Shi Wansui gives money, it is to give to the King of Shu, and it will become an ally that can be used in the battle for the crown in the future, if he doesn't give money, then let the envoy go to Shi Wansui's car to find gold, so that Shi Wansui hates and hates the messenger, and you can't blame the head of the army, don't you say?" ”

Wan Zhiguang was overjoyed when he heard this, this method sounded completely flawless, not only showed his loyalty to Yang Xiu, but also did not offend Shi Wanzai in front of him, he smiled happily and nodded again and again: "General Wang, this method of yours is really good, it really helped me a lot." But he suddenly thought of something again, and put away his smile, "It's just General Wang, in this way, what benefits can you get?" Since you don't want to take refuge in His Royal Highness the King of Shu and overthrow Shi Wansui, it doesn't seem to be of any interest to you. ”

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed green: "I made it clear just now, if I don't do this, sooner or later I will implicate Shi Wansui, the emperor may not embarrass a general like General Shi, but he may not trouble a small character like me who has no roots and no foundation, and if Shi Wansui pushes the matter of accepting bribes on me, I will be in trouble, after all, I am not his descendant, Wan joined the army, my behavior is mainly self-preservation, do you understand?" ”

Wan Zhiguang thought about it, but there was still something wrong: "But if you let the messenger come over to arrest Shi Wansui, isn't it also impossible to protect himself, and he can still rely on you." Right? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It's different, if it is you who reported him, just because I stayed in Wei County for a month and had countless opportunities to contact you, he would definitely suspect that I leaked the secret, so he would turn to take revenge on me, but if it was the messenger sent by the King of Shu who was looking for him on the way to the army, then he would not hate you, let alone be angry with me." Wan joined the army, so you must ask the King of Shu not to mention the specific amount of gold in the secret letter, only to say that I heard that Ningzhou is rich in gold, presumably there are a lot of trophies this time, I hope Marshal Shi can truthfully hand over to the treasury, so as to give Shi Banzai face, so that he will not suspect you. ”

Wan Zhiguang was completely relieved at this time, he believed that the Wang Shichong in front of him must have found himself in order to avoid trouble for himself, he laughed: "Wang joins the army, your loyalty to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Wan Mou will definitely make it clear in the letter, this matter will definitely not cause you any losses, please rest assured." ”

Wang Shichong stood up with a smile and said in a low voice: "Wan joins the army, this matter is all up to you, helping you is helping yourself, how to say and write, you know best, I only remind one thing, you must be fast, it is best to send someone to cross Lushui at night tonight, and it is best to let the king of Shu send an envoy before the army crosses the river." ”

Wan Zhiguang nodded: "I'll write it now, and I'll send it out tonight!" Just wait for the good news. (To be continued......)
