Chapter Ninety-Two: Asking for Help
Wei Bo sent a letter to him, and the bandits began to retreat, asking the county venerable what to do next, whether to pursue it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Shi Duan reported the situation to Wang An.
"Wei Bo and they are leading the private soldiers of the Kong family and the Zhuang Ding of the Wang family, and they are already very satisfied with being able to keep a camp, so there is no need for them to make sacrifices." Wang An looked at Shi Duan and replied, "You have to clean up the camp today, and when the Jiangling soldiers come, you can move in directly, so as to save them from disturbing the people." ”
Shi Duan asked a question of concern: "How long will the Gangneung soldiers be stationed?" ”
"If there are no accidents, it will be a month." Wang An replied.
Shi Duan frowned: "One month, will the time be too short?" ”
"It's good that Taishou can send troops over, Taishou plans to recruit and suppress Shuikou after the New Year, and he will probably transfer his men and horses back to protect Jiangling at that time. In order to calm the people's minds, the official planned to establish the third and fourth tuns. ”
"It's going to cost a lot of money."
Wang An sighed: "Who said it wasn't, in order to see the results as soon as possible, the third tun official wanted to recruit here in Lankou." Most of the people of Lankouju fled from the other side, and they hated the Green Forest Bandits, which happened to be of my own use. The fourth tun is counting on Sun Xiaoniang and Uncle Xia, they are both born as bandits, and they can be used as imaginary enemies to help others understand the situation of bandits. ”
"Imaginary enemy? What do you mean? ”
"Little Lady Sun and Uncle Xia's subordinates are all genuine bandits, when the time comes, let them go to the mountain, and you three soldiers will go up the mountain and fight with them, so that the speed of forming an army can probably be much faster."
"We're just watching the Green Forest Bandits move things away?"
"Move, move, take mine now, and in the future I want them to spit it out to me with interest. The key is that you and Dong Xuan led the soldiers of the first and second tuns to follow and monitor the bandits. When they have crossed the river, you will also cross the river and see what is going on on the other side. These soldiers also need to know what kind of people their opponents are. ”
Listening to Wang An's words, Shi Duan seemed unimpressed, he thought that Wang An was trying to reassure himself, so he replied: "The subordinates will lead the men and horses to join Dong Xuan, and then cross the Chu River according to the instructions of the county honor." ”
"Bring the escaped soldiers with you," Wang An added. The fugitives had already returned under pressure from their families and the government, but Wang An had already sent them to Li Mao. "Let them see how the bandits deal with the people."
In the Marquis Mansion of the new capital, Tian Li reported the news from Chang'an to Wang Mang: "Recently, there have been some bad rumors in Chang'an City, and some Confucian scholars are preaching the doctrine of Jingfang, combining disasters with "Zhou Yi", and saying ...... in private" The latter words Tian Li swallowed and vomited, but did not say it.
Wang Mang was reading the newspaper and asked casually: "What did those monks say?" ”
"They said, 'Women are in power, and the kingdom is not still; The rooster crows, and the Lord is not glorious. ”
Wang Mang didn't care: "Ben Hou remembers that Jingfang seems to be talking about Empress Lu at the beginning." ”
Tian Li continued: "Fang Shi mentioned two things that happened when the first emperor was in power. The first is that the little girl Chen held a bow and strayed into Weiyang Palace due to water shock. They said: Those who are frightened by the water are also full of yin energy. The name is said to hold a bow, similar to Zhou's arc kei suit, "Yi" said, the advantage of the arc arrow, to power the world. ”
Wang Mang's face has changed slightly, now His Majesty's biological mother Empress Dowager Ding is dead, His Majesty's grandmother Empress Dowager Fu is seriously ill, Zhao Feiyan is already alone, only the Empress Dowager is healthy, and Your Majesty ...... Don't talk about it. Wang Mang glanced up at Tian Li, then continued to read his newspaper, and said, "What about the second one?" ”
"The second one also happened in February of the second year of Emperor Suihe, and there was a horse in the palace,"
"Smack", Wang Mang slapped the newspaper on the case, the second year of Suihe was the year of the death of the first emperor, Wang Mang was the big Sima at that time, which meant something. Wang Mang tried to calm his anger, straightened up, and asked, "Does the Empress Dowager know about this?" ”
"Not yet, because these rumors are not widespread,"
Wang Mang interrupted Tian Li's words: "Do you want the world to know? ”
"It's just that the Empress Dowager was bedridden during this time, and the Empress Dowager did not summon a noble lady into the palace to accompany her in order to avoid suspicion, and she couldn't inform the Empress Dowager."
"That's a problem," Wang Mang picked up a blank piece of paper casually, ready to practice calligraphy. He looked at the blank paper and said, "When will the paper paid to the Empress Dowager be sent to the palace?" ”
"There are still three days," Tian Li replied, "the subordinates understand, and the subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”
Wang Mang took out a letter: "This is sent by San Lang, and his warehouse in Lankouju was robbed by the Green Forest Bandits." Worried about the punishment of the imperial court, he asked Benhou to send someone to Chang'an to help him lobby for one or two. This kid now knows how to ask for Benhou. Tian Li could see that Wang Mang was very happy that Wang An asked him for help.
"Who does the prince plan to let come forward?"
"No one in the Wang family can come forward in this kind of matter, since you have found out Kong Guang's mistake, and Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Kong Guang, let him come forward." Wang Mang wrote a few words, and then continued, "San Lang said in the letter that he wanted ten horses to be brought back by your boy." ”
Tian Li hurriedly responded: "No."
When Tian Dalang saw Tian Li, he saluted and said, "Father." ”
"Don't worry, San Langjun will be fine," Tian Li comforted, "The prince has promised to send someone to Chang'an to ask the imperial historian Zhongcheng Kong Guang to come forward and exonerate him. San Langjun wrote a letter to the prince for help, explained the situation in detail to his father, and arranged manpower for his father. ”
