At dusk.

Jia Hui sent someone to send a message, saying that Wen Qing was willing to surrender, but he wanted to meet King Wen in person.

Wang Xu smiled and quickly came to the military aircraft.

in a prison cell.

As soon as Wen Qing saw Wang Xu, he immediately knelt down and said, "King Wen, Wen Qing is willing to surrender, but I hope that King Wen will agree to the next condition." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand: "Please speak." ”

Wen Qing said: "I want to go to the imperial capital. ”

Wang Xu smiled: "You want to pick up your son, right?" ”

Wen Qing was taken aback: "How did King Wen know?" ”

Wang Xu didn't answer, but said: "Don't worry, your son has been taken back to the Western Capital by this king, and is now in your mansion, but he owes a gambling debt, and this king has paid it for you, you have to give it to me." ”

Wen Qing has a son, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to gamble all day long, so he is mixed in the imperial capital, and Wang Xu has already asked Ye Xiong to send someone to bring him back.

Wen Qing sighed, and secretly said that Wang Xu has great powers, originally he thought that as long as his son was fine, he could let the Wen family continue to burn, but he didn't expect that his only son was brought back, so what else to say, come down.

As soon as he thought of this son, Wen Qing had a headache and said a little embarrassed: "Thank you King Wen for bringing my unfilial son back, Wen Qing is willing to surrender, and the gambling debts will be repaid." ”

Wang Xu helped Wen Qing up and teased: "You are really an honest man, I am joking with you, you have worked for me, can I still ask for your money." ”

Wen Qing felt relieved that he could finally get out of this cell.

Looking at Wang Xu at this time, Wen Qing was much more relaxed and natural, and said with a wry smile: "King Wen shouldn't bully honest people." ”

"Hehe, since you have surrendered, let's listen to the seal."

Wen Qing immediately knelt down.

Wang Xu said: "You are an inch, and I can't give you too high an official." For the time being, I will appoint you as the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department, and grant the sixth rank to assist Jia Hui in handling the important affairs of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department, if your political performance is good. Lift again. ”

"Thank you, King Wen." Wen Qing said. In fact, he didn't even know what Wenyuan Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department were, so he could only wait to find out.

After the official seal was completed, Wang Xu took Wen Qing out of the cell, and the Yulin army outside the gate of the Wen family's mansion also withdrew at this time.

The next day, Wen Qing officially went to Wenyuan Pavilion to take office.

...............

Three days later. Hu Ling's messenger arrived.

Wang Xu received him in the Chengqian Palace, this was the first time Hu Ling took the initiative to send someone to show goodwill, Wang Xu attached great importance to this, because Hu Ling's success or failure in Qingyuan County was directly related to his own interests, in other words, Hu Ling and Wang Xu were on the same front, and the stronger Hu Ling's strength, the easier it was to attract the attention of the imperial court, so that. The pressure on the Western Capital has also weakened.

The envoy came to the Chengqian Palace, saw Wang Xu, and saluted: "General Hu Ling's envoy Gao Quan, pay a visit to King Wen, King Wen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

This is the most basic etiquette, Wang Xu waved his hand and said: "Get up, don't you follow your general to fight the officers and soldiers well, what are you doing here with me?" ”

Gao Quan is Hu Ling's military advisor!

Gao Quan got up and said: "King Yuwen, my general is leading a large army and officers and soldiers to fight to the death, and the victory is not divided. ”

Hehe. No score? Wang Xu has already investigated clearly, this time the Qingyuan County Government has mobilized 30,000 elite soldiers to defeat Hu Ling, I am afraid that the victory and defeat have been divided before the end of the stand.

Wang Xu didn't break it, and said lightly: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Gao Quan said: "The general of my family has always respected King Wen. I was sent here today mainly to express my thoughts. After saying that, Gao Quan asked people to bring up the gifts they brought.

Wang Xu clicked, there are a total of twelve large boxes, each box is heavy, obediently, this will not be gold. It seems that Hu Ling has made a fortune in Qingyuan County.

Wang Xu guessed correctly, it was indeed gold, and these gold could be said to be all of Hu Ling's property, and all the big families in the three counties were looted by him.

Gao Quan asked people to open the box and said, "King Wen, there are ten thousand taels of gold here, and I hope King Wen will accept it with a smile." ”

Wang Xu got up and slowly walked down from the throne, his expression was very embarrassed: "This is not good, as the saying goes, no merit is not lost, and besides, I am not short of gold, you better take it back." ”

Gao Quan's heart suddenly kicked, he really didn't think about it, Wang Xu didn't even like gold, it couldn't be some illness, this is all Hu Ling's belongings, or Gao Quan persuaded him for a long time to let Hu Ling cut his love.

I thought that as soon as the gold was taken out, everything would be easy to do.

The purpose of Gao Quan is to persuade Wang Xu to send troops, since wealth can't move his heart, then change the strategy, with my three-inch tongue, I don't believe that King Wen can't be done.

After thinking about it, Gao Quan said: "King Wen, these are just small meanings, not enough respect, my general has no other meaning, he just wants to reach an alliance with King Wen and reject the officers and soldiers!" In this troubled world, one more friend and one more way. ”

Wang Xu only felt funny, dealing with literati is troublesome, and after talking for a long time, it was a gift and a politeness, until he hadn't gotten into the main topic, it was nothing more than wanting to borrow soldiers, just say no, why bother.

"Don't say anything superfluous, this king is a straightforward person, just say it directly, how many soldiers do you want to borrow?"

I didn't expect Wang Xu to be so happy, Gao Quan felt a little fundamentally rhythmic, straightened his thoughts, and said, "What does King Wen mean to agree to lead troops into Qingyuan County to help?" ”

Wang Xu nodded: "You fought well in Qingyuan County, and you have already defeated several officers and soldiers in a row, but this time it is different, there are 30,000 elite troops here, including 10,000 iron cavalry, you are not an opponent." ”

Gao Quan's face was extremely ugly after hearing this, is there 10,000 iron horses? How come we don't even know about ourselves? If there were really 10,000 iron cavalry, it would be dangerous to fight against the officers and soldiers.

Wait, how did Wang Xu know? Could it be that Cheongwon County's every move is under his surveillance? Gao Quan admired Wang Xu at this time, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to be so powerful and have more information than themselves.

Wang Xu was too lazy to play with Gao Quan, and said directly: "This king can help you, but I have to be paid." ”

Gao Quan frowned and said, "I don't know how much gold King Wen wants?" ”

Wang Xu smiled: "I don't want a tael of gold, this king only needs food!" In a word, give me 50,000 denier of food, and I will ride 15,000 to help, if there is no food, there is no need to talk about it. ”

Belch... Five... Fifty thousand? That's too much, isn't it?

"King Wen, is this 50,000 denier of grain too much?"

Wang Xu said: "It's not much, there are 50,000 deniers in your warehouse, do you think I don't know?" ”

"Ahh Gao Quan was shocked again, and even how much of his family background was known, and he was dizzy. It's still a hair, is there anything else that people don't know?

Gao Quan smiled: "King Wen is really powerful, and he is in the service." ”

After a pause, Gao Quan said: "What King Wen said is right, we do have 50,000 denier of food, but it is to be used for the next big war, if it is given to King Wen, then how can we fight against the officers and soldiers?" I'm afraid there will be no need to fight, and the soldiers will starve to death. ”

Wang Xu's expression was extremely shrunk, and he laughed: "You don't have to worry, this king has thought about it for you, I will send troops to help you defeat the officers and soldiers first, and then collect food." ”

"However, this king first said the ugly words in front, and after repelling the 30,000 army, he will give me food immediately, if you don't honor it, don't blame this king for turning his face and being ruthless."

Gao Quan was happy in his heart, as long as he defeated the officers and soldiers, he could occupy other county towns, and then he was afraid that there would be no food, and there were many of the big families.

Gao Quan said: "Okay, King Wen is really refreshing, I will respond first on behalf of my general." (To be continued.) )
