Wang Jun of Youzhou Thorn History was only strong because he relied on the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people at first, but with the betrayal of the Xianbei people and the Karasuma people one after another, coupled with the locust plague, military disaster, and drought for many years, Wang Jun's power was greatly reduced.

Shi Le always wanted to get rid of Wang Jun and then take all the two states, but he had not fully explored Wang Jun's reality, so he planned to send an envoy to Youzhou to find out the truth before the expedition.

After Zhang Bin learned of Shi Le's idea, he asked Shi Le to follow the example of Yanghu and Lu Kang in treating the enemy with the courtesy of neighbors and send a letter to Wang Jun. Shi Le had never read any books and couldn't understand what Zhang Bin meant, but he never lacked the desire to learn and be motivated, so he humbly asked Zhang Bin for advice.

Zhang Bin explained: "Wang Jun was nominally an important vassal of the Jin Dynasty, but in fact he had long planned to establish himself as the emperor, but he was afraid that no one would follow the heroes of the world. For a world-famous hero like you, General, it's like Xiang Yu wants to get Han Xin. ”

"The general is powerful in the world, if he treats Wang Jun with humble words and rich gifts, and treats Wang Jun with a humble attitude, with Wang Jun's arrogant character, he will definitely let down his guard against us. Although it is a bit embarrassing for the general to let go of his identity in this way, he can easily achieve the goal of pampering the enemy. ”

"Good! Good strategy! ”

In the first year of Jianxing, in July, Shi Le sent Sheren Wang Zichun and Dong Zhao to bring a lot of treasures, and ran to Youzhou with the sincere words written by Zhang Bin on his behalf.

Wang Jun was originally very jealous of Shi Le, but when he suddenly heard that a messenger from Xiangguo was coming, he didn't know how to react for a while. At this time, after Wang Jun repeatedly slaughtered the upright people in Youzhou, most of the remaining villains under his command were greedy villains. In particular, Zao Song and Zhu Shuo's greed and arrogance are more prominent. At that time, there was a folk song in Youzhou that said: "The mansion is great, it is Zhu Qiubo; Ten bags and five bags, all into the jujube. ”

Usually, Wang Jun didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but at the critical moment, he realized that there was a shortage of talents, and at this time he couldn't find someone to discuss. I had no choice but to find my sons-in-law Zao Song and Zhu Shuo. But Wang Jun didn't know that these two people had already accepted Shi Le's bribe, and they were full of gibberish as soon as they met.

In the end, Wang Jun, at the instigation of Zao Song, still met with Wang Zichun and the others. However, Wang Jun didn't give Wang Zichun a good face at first, he asked with a cold face, "Why did Shi Shilong send you here?" ”

Wang Zichun didn't care, and stepped forward with a look of humility on his face and said, "My lord specially sent Zichun to meet the prince to express his obedience. If the prince can be magnanimous and not care about the offense of my lord, General Shi is willing to serve the prince as the lord. ”

"Huh?"

After listening to Wang Zichun's words, Wang Jun was stunned for a while, he didn't expect Shi Le to take the initiative to pay tribute to him anyway, even if Wang Jun's IQ was low, he also felt that this matter was a little weird. He looked to both sides, expecting his subordinates to give him an idea, but the people standing below were either greedy and incompetent, or they were timid and afraid to come forward, and no one responded to Wang Jun.

Seeing the unresponsive subordinates below, Wang Jun was a little annoyed for a while, so he had no choice but to ponder for a while and ask Wang Zichun: "Shi Shilong is a heroic man for a while, according to the old land of Zhao and Wei, his strength is strong, even if he establishes himself as the king, it is okay, why do you call the vassal a lonely, this is ...... How is this possible? ”

Wang Zichun replied unhurriedly: "Indeed, as you said, General Shi is outstanding and strong. It's just because you are from a noble family in Zhongzhou, and your prestige is up to the world. Since ancient times, there have been Hu people as famous ministers who assist the monarch, but there are no Hu people who are emperors. ”

"Before coming, General Shi specially instructed the lower to tell the prince that General Shi will support the prince's honor!"

"Shilong's love makes Gu a little flattered!" Wang Jun looked proud.

Seeing that Wang Jun couldn't find the north because he was flattered by himself, Wang Zichun hit the railroad while it was hot: "General Shi didn't resign to the prince because he hated the status of the emperor, but he was just worried that because the emperor has his own heavenly qi, it can't be obtained by relying only on intellectual strength, even if he forcibly obtains the throne, it will definitely not be recognized by heaven and people." ”

"Just like in history, although Xiang Yu is strong, the world is owned by Han Gaozu after all. Compared with the prince, General Shi is like the moon to the sun, so in view of historical experience, he devoted himself to the prince, which is where General Shi's foresight and wisdom far surpass others, what else can the prince doubt? ”

After saying that, Wang Zichun presented Shi Le's letter to Wang Jun, Wang Jun took the letter and took a look at it, only to see that it was written: "I was originally a little Hu man, who was affected by the current situation of hunger and chaos, wandered around and guarded in a place of distress, and then fled to Jizhou, wanting to gather each other to defend and save my life." ”

"Now that the royal family of the Jin Dynasty has fallen, the Central Plains has no owner, the prince is a noble family in the state and township, respected by all over the world, who else is the emperor? In the past, Leso risked his life to raise troops and punish the violent and rebellious people, just to drive out these robbers and thieves for the prince. It is hoped that the prince will obey the will of the people and ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Shile I respect and support the prince as I respect the parents of heaven and earth, the prince sees my heart, and should treat me as a son! ”

After reading this humble letter, although Wang Jun still had a trace of doubt in his heart, under the attack of Shi Le and Wang Zichun's sweet words, he had already put down all his guards. At this time, Wang Jun knew that he was secretly thinking: I knew that Shi Le was so knowledgeable, why didn't he recruit him earlier?

Shi Le's plan to implement the arrogant enemy can be said to be prepared, and his target is not known to Wang Jun. After Wang Zichun came out of Wang Jun's mansion, he turned around and went to Zaosong Mansion. not only brought a lot of treasure to Zao Song, but also swore to Zao Song: Once Wang Jun ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Shi Le will be the pastor of Zao Song and the Duke of Guangping.

Zao Song was stunned by Shi Le's big stroke, and the whole person was dizzy, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south. Under Wang Zichun's wanton activities, from Wang Jun to the gatekeepers in Youzhou, all regarded Shi Le as a boy of scattered wealth and a person for himself.

Fortunately, Wang Jun was not stupid enough to go home, and when Wang Zichun left, he sent a henchman to Xiangguo to visit Shile back, and took the opportunity to see if Shile admired him very much as the letter said.

After Shi Le received Wang Zichun's secret letter, under Zhang Bin's suggestion, he continued to adopt a plan to paralyze Wang Jun. In order to further reduce Wang Jun's vigilance against him, Shi Le deliberately hid his elite soldiers, and only arranged for thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people to be watched by Wang Jun's envoys.

In addition, Shi Le also treated the envoys with great kindness, sent beautiful women every day for his enjoyment, and sent a large sum of money to the other party when he left, and at the same time wrote to Wang Jun again, saying that he would go to Youzhou in person in mid-March next year to persuade him.

As soon as the envoy who had been bribed by Shile returned to Wang Jun's side, he swore that Shile's army was weak and that he was loyal to Wang Jun and had no two hearts. As long as a normal person would not believe this, Wang Jun was convinced. So Wang Jun not only became more arrogant, but also greatly relaxed his vigilance against Shile.

Although some people had seen through Shi Le's tricks and explained them to Wang Jun, Wang Jun did not believe that Shi Le had different ambitions. At this time, an incident happened that once again deepened Wang Jun's trust in Shile.

Guangping people You Tong, Wang Jun's Sima, is Wang Jun's very trusted subordinate, guarding Fan Yang all the year round, and bears the heavy responsibility of guarding Shile. But You Tong saw that Wang Jun was declining day by day, and he was afraid that he would end up with no bones left with the other party, so he wanted to secretly cling to Shi Le.

Unfortunately, contrary to You Tong's expectations, Shi Le not only did not accept him, but instead beheaded his envoy and gave his head to Wang Jun. Wang Jun was very moved when he saw the head sent by Shi Le, so he believed in Shi Le even more and no longer doubted it.

The news that Wang Jun and Shi Le were friendly again soon reached the ears of Shao Xu and Wei Shuo, and the two didn't know how to react except for being dumbfounded. Wei Shuo really regretted choosing a pig ally like Wang Jun, after this incident, Wei Shuo completely understood, Wang Jun was already a pig to be slaughtered, and if he wanted to avoid Youzhou falling into the hands of Shi Le, he had to rely on himself.

Shao Xu was also disappointed, he didn't expect that Wang Jun, the dignified Youzhou assassin, had a low IQ like a fool, and was played around by Shi Le. Just when the situation in Youji was about to change drastically, Wei Shuo was busy with maritime trade again.
