Chapter 364: Surviving in the Cracks
Wang Shichong shook his head: "Where is General Shi, I am purely for the sake of the general, this expedition, in fact, whether you make meritorious service or not, you can't get me, it's not what I value, what I value is to be able to make friends with some Guanlong generals like you, and it can help me in the officialdom and military circles in the future, you told me when you were in the Elysium Villa, the Guanlong military generals have their own circles, if anyone really moves their minds, they will not be able to mix in this circle in the future, so whether I take this money or not, I will be on the same chariot with you, How could it be possible to betray you. ”
The expression on Shi Wansui's face softened a little, and he nodded: "General Wang, I believe that you will not do such a treacherous thing, but even if you have an estate and do not lack this money, are your five brothers willing?" People come all the way to do it, but it's not for the small merit of a thousand heads, if they see that other generals have a whole box of gold to take, but they are empty-handed, can they swallow this breath? ”
Wang Shichong smiled: "Marshal Shi, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has this kind of thought, Wang Shichong, according to my observation just now, General Zhang and General Yang don't really want to take this money." ”
Shi Wansui's pupils contracted tightly, and there was a bit of anger in his voice: "I really don't know what Lu Dao thinks, especially Su Tuo, I have cultivated him all the way this time, but he resolutely refuses to ask for this money, General Wang, is this money really so hot, or do they even believe me?" ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "It depends on personal preference, like Marshal Shi, you can open your own military mansion, and if you want to recruit a large number of elite soldiers and fierce generals for your own troops, the cost is naturally large." And General Zhang turned out to be just a middle- and lower-ranking officer at the rank of lieutenant. I don't have the authority to open a government yet. Therefore, I can't understand Marshal Shi's hardships, and when he arrives in your position in the future, he will naturally know your difficulties. I think General Zhang is a loyal and righteous man, and he will never betray you. ”
Shi Wansui's expression softened slightly, and he nodded: "It's still General Wang, you can see accurately, Sutuo is indeed wise and brave, to be honest, I'm Shi Wansui in the army for many years." It is also the first time to see such an excellent general as him, he is not only proficient in the art of war, but also strong in martial arts, and he is an out-and-out fierce general of 10,000 enemies, even if I am in the prime of life, I may not be able to defeat him.
Alas, I really wanted to cultivate him well, but I saw that he didn't even want to collect money with me, and it seems that he still doesn't know the way to be a general, General Wang. After the end of Pingnan this time, I am afraid that we will soon face a big war against the Turks. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to continue working together at that time. ”
Wang Shichong said secretly in his heart, I'm afraid that General Shi, you yourself don't have the opportunity to go to the Turks, this is your own death, and you can't blame others. But he said: "Certainly, if Marshal Shi takes command again at that time, Shi Chong is willing to open the way for you with a halberd." ”
Shi Wansui Ha Lu smiled: "Okay, then we will cooperate again then, General Wang, let me ask you the last time, do you really want the fifteen boxes of gold that you and your five friends have?" ”
Wang Shichong frowned slightly, he felt that it was still necessary to make the most difficult effort, and persuaded Shi Wanzai: "I don't want that money, Dashuai, I hope that the most reluctant can persuade you, even if you accept the money, you can not let go of the two traitor leaders, as long as the two of them are in our hands, after returning to Beijing, with the emperor's usual benevolence, most of them will not want their lives, I estimate that it is likely to be in Daxing to give them a false position to live, so it can be regarded as a hostage, and then let their son go back to Ningzhou to manage, Dashuai, Then you don't lose your trust in them. ”
Shi Wansui's face sank again: "General Wang, I, Shi Wansui, have been collecting money from people all my life, eliminating disasters with people, and Fu Hui and Ji Zhen have negotiated with me to save my life, which is twenty boxes of gold, and halfway to the road, Shi Wan Sui said that he has never left his homeland in his life, and after arriving in Daxing, he was afraid that he would die there if he was not adapted, so he added thirty boxes of gold and asked me to keep him here, if I collected the money and took him away, I was afraid that the clansmen of Fu Xi would make a big deal about it, and then I would get into trouble." ”
Wang Shichong sighed secretly, it was useless to persuade him again, General Shi was going to play himself to death this time, and the one who stabbed him the most must be this person who was empty of money. He nodded: "Okay, then everything depends on Marshal Shi, I'll go and appease Mai Tiezhu and Duan Da them now, Marshal Shi, when are you going to release the planing and shaking?" When will our army be formed? What do you say about Wisdom Light and the Source Master? ”
Shi Wansui smiled slightly: "The planing and the planing Zhen are being guarded by my personal guards, in the barracks of my army ten miles away from here, since you also agree to my plan, then I will immediately order the release of people, anyway, their gold has been transported in full yesterday, damn, no wonder these barbarians are fighting around in this place all day long, those are real gold agate, I have never seen so much money in my life."
As for the matter of the class division, I will return to the military camp overnight tonight, and tomorrow I will lead the army back, and then officially raise the account and give the order to withdraw the army. By the way, General Wang, do you think I should give Magic Light a box of gold and tell him to shut up? ”
Wang Shichong said categorically: "By all means, Wan Zhiguang has already earned more than a dozen boxes of gold these days by interrogating and screening those white barbarians who surrendered to Xijiao, and he will definitely not help you hide this matter because of a box of gold, and will only give this box of gold to the King of Shu as evidence to make contributions."
Marshal Shi, even I don't think you can start distributing gold here, in case any general is here who thinks that there is little money and complains a few words, when the news spreads, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will not dare to check you, but the general who investigates us has enough authority, if the stolen goods are obtained, then you are full of mouths and can't say clearly. ”
Shi Wansui nodded again and again when he heard this: "General Wang, you are still thoughtful, it was my negligence that almost left a safety hazard for myself, so let's do it, I will keep all the gold by myself first, and after the army leaves the Shu realm, I will divide the money, what do you think?" ”
Wang Shichong secretly said in his heart, Long live Shi, I have done my best to help you, if you still show flaws, then no wonder me. But there was a smile on his face: "Handsome and wise." ”
After leaving Shi Wansui's tent of the Chinese army marshal, Wang Shichong returned directly to his tent, Mai Tiezhu and others had been waiting for a long time, Wang Shichong did not explain too much to them, just said that Marshal Shi out of the need to stabilize the hearts of the people in Ningzhou, in the case that the Ningzhou barbarians have been seriously weakened and unable to set off a rebellion again, temporarily let the brothers Fu Xi and Fu Zhen take charge of the management under the supervision of the Shu army, until the chief executive officially appointed by the imperial court came to take office here, because Marshal Shi has the right to act cheaply and make decisions on the spot, I can't say anything more.
Mai Tiezhu and the others didn't know the mystery of Lu Dao, but they were all typical soldiers, knowing that Lu Dao's military orders were like mountains, after Shi Wansui left Wang Shichong to discuss, Wang Shichong still chose to unify with Shi Wansui, and they naturally didn't have much to say, although Liu Quan and Duan Da still had a trace of confusion in their eyes, but they all kept their mouths shut and didn't continue to ask, after all, they were already very convinced by Wang Shichong now, and they would not question any of his decisions, let alone suspect that Wang Shichong would damage their interests.
Shi Wansui took Zhang Xutuo, Yang Wutong and Yujuluo and other generals back that night, his trip back to the camp was a secret act, Wang Shichong arranged it well, from greeting to security all let Zhang Jincheng and other personal soldiers be responsible, the soldiers of Shu were sent away elsewhere early, and the news that Shi Wansui returned to the camp was well preserved, until the next day Shi Wansui took 10,000 Guanzhong soldiers with great fanfare, gongs and drums and the world returned victoriously, Wan Zhiguang and Yuanshi were still in the dark.
It's just that in the Zhengnan Governor of Weixian County, when Shi Wansui released the decision to release the planing and the Zhenzhen brothers to return to their respective tribes, and each brought one of their sons back to Beijing as a hostage, Wan Zhiguang and Yuanshi also blew up.
