Chapter 196: Leveraging Strength
The Wang family's large army came majestically and highly, and the commotion was too loud, how could Fang Jue not know, but in addition to being furious, he was helpless, who told him to have no military power in his hands?
But he didn't worry about his life at all: first, killing the county magistrate is tantamount to rebellion, and any dynasty has zero tolerance for rebellion, as long as Wang Shihua is not crazy, his life can still be saved. Second, the main purpose of the Wang family's visit this time was to deal with the vendors, or Liwei. Therefore, instead of fleeing, he closed the gates of the city and left his men to defend them...... He is more worried about his political future.
Fang Jue was still a little bloody, and in order to boost morale, he actually climbed the city wall in person. But for his secretary Yuan Tianbi's request to immediately send a telegram to the state and province for help, he refused: covering the lid is a point, and more importantly, he wants to talk to Wang Shihua, hoping to break the pattern of being surrounded by Xiang's family.
What he never expected was that the Xiang family actually took the initiative to stop the Wang family, which made him very excited: as long as the Wang family and the Xiang family fell out, and the pattern of the four major families joining forces to deal with him was broken, he would be able to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters...... In every way, he can get the benefits of a fisherman.
It's just that after seeing tens of thousands of horses and horses facing each other, his heart fell into the ice cave: once the fight starts, the county will definitely be affected. What's more critical is that this lid can't be covered, and his political future will be over.
Fang Juechengfu was quite deep, and he still endured it. But as soon as the shell of the small steel cannon exploded, he couldn't help it: it was okay for the two families to fall out, but it was too much. Therefore, he hurriedly took his secretary Yuan Tianbi out of the city quickly.
"Under the blue sky and white sun, the two of you dare to mobilize the people of the clan to fight outside the county seat. Do you still have a national government in your eyes, and a royal law? ”
This step came at a better time.
Xiang Dingtian and Wang Shihua glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and tilted their heads at the same time.
"Xiang Dingtian, what do you mean by letting your clansmen carry weapons for a long time and stationing them outside the county seat?" Fang Jue shouted solemnly, "Are you trying to rebel?" If you want to rebel, okay... I'll give you a chance, and you don't need so many people to stay outside the city every day, as long as you kill me with one shot, you can guarantee the success of your rebellion. ”
Xiang Dingtian looked at him and sneered: "County Magistrate Fang, one yard is one yard." You have to figure it out, now the Wang family is coming to attack the county seat, and I am here to help you. You don't ask him if he wants to rebel, but he comes to ask me? Why, you really think that you are the county lord and can cover the sky with one hand? ”
This was said very politely, but after hearing this, Fang Jue's heart was very happy: As long as you don't fight, I am happy to cause trouble for you.
Wang Shihua subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but he thought of something, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he held back stiffly.
"I'll take care of his business." Fang Jue waited for a while, and saw that Wang Shihua was not fooled, and after glancing at Wang Shihua, he shouted: "You tell me first, when will the thousands of people you stationed outside the city withdraw?" ”
"The surname Fang, what you are asking is really interesting." Xiang Dingtian glanced at Wang Shihua, then looked at Xiang Qiankun beside him, and said with a smile: "He is the head of the security regiment, your subordinate, not mine, you actually asked me when I will retreat?" Hum... It's my business..."
Xiang Qiankun on the side patted the general's belly, and the other party sneered: "Everyone has wives and children to support, since they are soldiers, there must be a place to pay for them, right?" Our security team is here to receive salaries this time. County Magistrate Fang, when did you pay the brothers of our security corps? ”
I don't know how many times the two sides have fought a war of words on this issue. Seeing that Xiang Dingkun changed the topic, how could Fang Jue be fooled. looked at Xiang Dingkun and sneered: "Xiang Dingkun, give you half an hour." If, in half an hour, I saw so many people outside the city, I would have reported it to the higher-ups. When the time comes, the army will be sent from above to track it down, and you don't blame us for being unsympathetic. ”
"No questions." Xiang Dingkun looked at Wang Shihua coldly, and said lightly: "As long as his family retreats, I promise to leave immediately." ”
Seeing Xiang Dingkun's ability to kick the 'ball', how could Wang Shihua let him get his wish, and sneered: "Xiang Dingkun, you have to figure it out." Now the county magistrate is asking you, a flat-headed common man under his rule, in his capacity as the county magistrate: Do you want to rebel when you send hundreds of people to be stationed outside the city for a long time? You just have to answer yes or no, where is all that? ”
"Wang Shihua, you don't have a dog and a mouse...... Have a finger in the pie... Is it your turn to take care of my business? ”
"It's not my turn to take care of your business, but it's your turn to take care of my business?" After speaking, seeing that Fang Jue was not speaking on the side, Wang Shihua didn't want to trap himself in, so he immediately kicked the 'ball' to Fang Jue. hugged his fists and smiled: "County Magistrate Fang, in Xia Wang Shihua, the first time we met, it was polite." ”
As soon as Fang Jue came up, he aimed at Xiang Dingtian, and the purpose was naturally self-evident. Now seeing Wang Shihua's goodwill, he is naturally willing to join forces with Wang Shihua temporarily, and he also hugged his fists and replied: "The head of the Wang family is polite." ”
The scene is so strange: the three parties are holding each other back: Xiang Dingtian wants to prevent Wang Shihua from stepping into Xiangjia's territory; County Magistrate Fang hoped that the two would fall out, but they didn't fight directly at the gate of the county seat, but more importantly, they wanted to use this to pull Wang Shihua into the water and muddy the pool, so they targeted Xiang Dingtian; And Wang Shihua's purpose this time is to target the county magistrate...... This kind of intrigue can only be seen by the three parties and use their strength.
Seeing that Wang Shihua and Fang Jue might cooperate, how could Xiang Dingtian not be in a hurry. sneered at the moment: "Yo~... The head of the Wang family and the county magistrate Fang really hit it off at first sight. But I seem to remember that the head of the Wang family came to fight the county seat this time. County Magistrate Fang, if you make friends like this, aren't you afraid that the higher authorities will track you down for the crime of being a bandit? ”
"Xiang Dingtian, you can drink more wine, and you can't talk nonsense. If my Wang family is a bandit, your Xiang family is probably the biggest bandit in this county. If you dare to besiege the county seat, if you want to suppress bandits, you should be suppressed first. Wang Shihua looked at Xiang Dingtian with a smile and said, "As for how I got along with County Magistrate Fang, I won't bother you to eat radishes...... Don't worry about it. ”
"Wang Shihua, have you forgotten the covenant of our four major families?"
"Naturally, I don't dare to forget the covenant, but the question is, Xiang Dingtian, have you forgotten that there is another clause in the covenant: when you are external, you must not fight internally... Now that you have led someone to block my way, have you broken the covenant? ”
Without giving Xiang Dingtian a chance to answer, Wang Shihua raised his head and hugged his fists and said: "County Magistrate Fang, I came here this time, first, to invite, and second, to sue." ”
"Please..."
"I remember that at the beginning of your tenure last year, you ordered that all townships in the county should be re-elected. I am young and shallow, and I really don't know how this election should be conducted. I would like to ask the county magistrate to come to Longtang Town in person to preside over the election of the mayor of Longtang Town. I wonder if County Magistrate Fang can give this thin noodle under it? ”
After speaking, Wang Shihua looked at Xiang Dingtian with a smile.
Territory is the greatest interest: Xiang Jia regards the county seat as the scope of his own strength, Wang Shihua led troops to come, and Xiang Jia still sent troops to block even if he didn't deal with the county magistrate, which is the best proof. On the other hand, the dispute between Xiangjia and the county magistrate is the most fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides. And Wang Shihua's words were obviously throwing an olive branch to the county magistrate, intending to help the county magistrate Fang compete with the Xiang family.
Sure enough, Xiang Dingtian's thoughts were like electricity, and he immediately thought clearly about which was more important, and Gao Sheng shouted: "Wang Shihua, do you really want to violate the covenant of the four major families?" ”
"Didn't I tell you about it just now? Xiang Dingtian, I, Wang Shihua, don't need you to nod my head yet. "Wang Shihua has the upper hand, so naturally there will be no gentleman's etiquette to talk about. smiled and said, "As for whether or not you don't keep the covenant, it depends on your current appearance." ”
Seeing that Xiang Dingtian's face was stunned, his eyes were shining, but Wang Shihua grinned, and turned to the other county magistrate to hug his fists and said: "County magistrate Fang, you are the head of a county, and I will sue you next......
It is a trivial matter to sue or not to sue, and you have to get the invitation in your hand first. Fang Jue was scheming, how could he let go of such an opportunity for implementation, and answered at the moment: "The head of the Wang family, since he is the parent official of a county, he should do his best to serve the people of the county. I have accepted the invitation you have just received, and I will definitely go to congratulate you in person when the time comes. ”
As soon as Xiang Dingtian heard this, he raised his head, looked at Fang Jue with bright eyes, and squinted at Wang Shihua, waiting for Wang Shihua's reply.
The three parties are all using their strength, and now that they have the upper hand, how can Wang Shihua really help Fang Jue deal with Xiangjia. smiled at the moment: "Okay... When I go back next time and make arrangements, I will personally come to invite the county magistrate to come and guide. ”
This is obviously said to Xiang Dingtian: Xiang Dingtian, when I will arrange it properly, and when I will invite the county magistrate, it depends on what you do now. If you really want to force me, I will invite the county magistrate, what can you do with me? If you have the ability, you will abandon the county seat and see who loses the most.
Xiang Dingtian looked at Wang Shihua with a low look, and saw Wang Shihua looking at it with a smile, and his eyes did not give in at all. Xiang Dingtian smiled angrily, hugged his fist at Wang Shihua and said, "Master Wang, solid... It was inconsiderate and offended. ”
Then he turned around and shouted, "Retreat..."
How could Wang Shihua let him slip away, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute." ”
"Wang Shihua, don't go too far." I took the initiative to admit defeat and retreat to my family this time, in exchange for your support from the other county magistrate, and you don't have the idea of fighting the county seat, you don't have to make an inch.
"Oops~... Brother Xiang, everyone is a friend, so it is natural to speak and talk. You have to talk too~..."
Seeing that Xiang Dingtian was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of these words, Wang Shihua smiled very amiably: "I remember, I ordered 100,000 catties of grain from your Xiangjia, and the deposit was given, I don't know when this grain will be given to me today?" ”
Xiang Dingtian's eyes stared at Wang Shihua like a poisonous snake, and after a while, he said coldly: "The price has increased by two percent." ”
"Okay..."
Waiting for Xiang Jia's horse to slowly withdraw from the mountains and forests and get out of the way, Wang Shihua hugged his fists and smiled at Fang Jue: "Thank you County Magistrate Fang for your help, my grain is a serious business, and I also ask County Magistrate Fang to uphold justice." ”
"It's nature..."
"Thank you. In the next farewell..."
"Wait a minute." Fang Jue smiled and said to Wang Shihua: "I don't know what you just said is still a good word?" ”
"That's nature, I, Wang Shihua, have always been a spit and a nail. It's just that this time is still a little hasty, and please rest assured that County Magistrate Fang. However, I think that County Magistrate Fang, you are still optimistic about the city gate, I think that the Xiang family is going to be heavy-handed this time. ”
"Thank you... Farewell..."The county magistrate Fang hugged Wang Shihua with a smile, and slowly rode back with the secretary.
