Wang Jien nodded with a slightly unnatural face: "Yes, General Pan Mei is self-purifying, but it was the miscellaneous family who almost blamed him." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Is there anything else going on with my father-in-law?" Zhao Gu asked.

"It's gone, it's gone, Zhuozhou Valley is waiting to go back and rest." Wang Jien hurriedly said.

"Then I'll go first."

After speaking, Zhao Gu got up and left directly, leaving only the old eunuch Wang Jien with a resentful face.

But why did he look resentful? This also started with the first sentence he said to Zhao Gu.

If Zhao Gu was deceived by him at that time and admitted that he was wrong, what would the result be?

Although the iron ball is very simple in the eyes of those who know it, after all, it is very powerful, and if it is left outside, it will inevitably make Zhao Guangyi like a fish in his throat.

Then the question arises, if Pan Mei hadn't isolated the two thousand soldiers who assisted Zhao Gu in making iron balls, and Zhao Gu admitted that he was wrong, would Zhao Guangyi suspect that Pan Mei had different intentions?

And as Zhao Gu, who leaked this matter, will he be implicated?

Don't forget, Zhao Gu is the same as Wang Jien, everyone is a prisoner, and the iron of 'poisoning' is equally applicable between the two.

Since they are both supervising the army, after the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Guangyi will naturally be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and as a supervising army, as long as the troops win the battle, Zhao Gu and Wang Jien will naturally have no benefits.

In this way, if Zhao Guangyi is angry with Zhao Gu because of the iron ball, then Zhao Gu's credit will naturally be ignored by Zhao Guangyi, and in this way, won't the credit of the prison army be monopolized by Wang Jien?

Wang Jien fought this idea, in this Northern Expedition, he and Cao Bin recovered three state capitals along the way, but Zhao Gu first fought Shuozhou City, kept a state, and then even went down to Yunzhou and Huanzhou, the credit has long been greater than Wang Jien, he is naturally uncomfortable.

Therefore, Wang Jien wanted to use this method to weaken Zhao Gu's role in the Northern Expedition, so as to gain an advantage for himself.

You must know that as an emperor, two people who have made the same contribution are absolutely different in his eyes, and no emperor will dislike courtiers who have made great contributions, and at this time, courtiers who have only made small contributions can only be reduced to foils.

Wang Jien was unwilling to become a foil, so he wanted to deceive Zhao Gu and level the credit between the two.

To put it bluntly, he was jealous of Zhao Gu's credit, and wanted to discredit Zhao Gu and rob him of his credit.

He didn't expect that Pan Mei, as a veteran of a generation, already knew Zhao Guangyi very well, so he solved the possible hidden dangers in advance, which made Wang Jien reveal his true nature.

Originally, Wang Jien wanted to make a deal with Zhao Gu with the iron ball, and let Zhao Gu give him some credit, and even hoped that through this matter, he could always blackmail Zhao Gu and make him obey his orders.

But Pan Mei didn't participate in the production of iron balls at all, so he had no handle to grasp, not only lost the bargaining chips that threatened Zhao Gu, but also made Zhao Gu aware of his bad intentions.

This is the reason why Wang Jien showed a resentful look, and Zhao Gu's sentence of 'showing innocence' deeply stimulated him.

This is Wang Jien, he is an unscrupulous person who has not achieved his goal, otherwise he would not have served the two emperors, and he is still in constant favor.

He knew that Zhao Gu knew his intentions, and he even knew that Zhao Gu used words to squeeze him out because of this, and in his narrow mind, he thought that Zhao Gu would definitely have a dislike with him because of this matter, and even retaliate against him in the future.

Wang Jien was anxious, judging from Zhao Gu's performance in just three months after he appeared, Wang Jien concluded that Zhao Gu would definitely become a high-ranking and powerful party in the future.

Some people are like this, obviously they have violated others, and they don't think about how to apologize and make amends, but they hate each other because of this, and they will never give up if they don't make the other party unable to get up again.

In fact, Zhao Gu definitely had no intention of taking revenge on Wang Jien in his heart.

Although he is a small-minded person, even if Lu Mengzheng offended him, he will retaliate back, but what Wang Jien wants to do has not been done, and Zhao Gu has nothing to lose, so he just scolded Wang Jien in his words, and he did not intend to investigate it deeply.

He didn't expect that he had already decided not to mention anything again, but Wang Jien kept it in his heart, and even decided to get rid of him.

I have to sigh, sometimes people have enmity with others, and it really has nothing to do with enmity!

As for when Mi Dechao entered Wang Jien's room after Zhao Gu left Wang Jien's small courtyard, how long the two had been negotiating, and what they had talked about, Zhao Gu didn't know anything.

When he returned to his simple dwelling, he washed himself and went to bed.

On the second day, Zhao Gu and others gathered together as usual to discuss the next marching plan.

Cao Bin, as one of the founding generals, was the first to express his opinion, saying: "How could the Liao army never think that we would take Huanzhou and Yunzhou so quickly, and now even if they are still increasing troops here, the speed will not be so fast, let's just take the opportunity to take Yingzhou, Xinzhou, Yanzhou, and Ulzhou, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”

Pan Mei obviously agreed with Cao Bin's suggestion, and said: "I also think that we should send troops to take Yingzhou and other four prefectures, and then concentrate all our forces to defend the western defense line and wait for the second counterattack of the Liao army." ”

Yang Yanzhao and Hu Yanzan also had no opinion on this, nodded in agreement, and Cao Bin looked at Zhao Gu and Wang Jien again, and asked, "What do the two generals think?" ”

Wang Jien thought for a while: "Just Yilu Guogong's plan." ”

Zhao Gu also nodded, in fact, what Cao Bin said was exactly the plan he had made, but it was only slightly changed according to local conditions, which was harmless.

Now that it has been decided, everyone immediately discussed the choice of commander to go to these four states, and Mi Dechao, who had not spoken, was the first to speak: "Let Ben General lead 30,000 soldiers and horses over." ”

Cao Bin and the others all frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Mi Dechao.

As we all know, Xinzhou, Yanzhou, Yingzhou, Ulzhou and other four states are located in the hinterland of the sixteen states of Yanyun, there is no danger to defend, and the Liao army did not leave many people stationed there.

Mi Dechao wants to go at this time, it is nothing more than to fight for merit, after all, although these four states are very simple to attack, but after all, they are also such a large piece of territory, and together they are not a lot of credit, at least it sounds good to say.

For this kind of credit, as a general, who doesn't want to get.

The question is, this kind of well-known thing, but Mi Dechao was the first to take the lead, is this when everyone else is a fool?

Why are you going? We still want to go!
