Chapter 681: Wolf Ambition (1)

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Maxima 0208, and thank you for the encouragement of fkingbitch.

Xiao Mo waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang, don't be impatient, please listen to me." In fact, there is a lot to be done. ”

"During the period of the first emperor, there were actually a lot of large-scale wars with foreign countries, and the three large-scale wars of pacifying Wei Chi, destroying Nan Chen and breaking the Turks all made many Hu generals promoted and made a fortune, and more importantly, they won the title, which can affect their descendants, which is far better than the reward effect of tens of millions of dollars."

But Yang Guang now has an attitude of not paying attention to General Hu. Now that the four seas are calm, unless large-scale troops are used externally, the generals will have no way to be promoted to the rank of lord, and they will definitely be dissatisfied. If the Hu generals in Daxing City do not fight, they will not be rewarded, and even if they lead the troops to practice, they are far less fast than those civil officials who are corrupt and corrupt in peacetime, so it will soon reflect the huge gap between the civil and military classes. ”

"If at this time, Brother Wang can consciously and publicly hand over some properties to Yang Guang, and then write to ask him to transfer these properties to the Hu generals who have not fought to appease their hearts, so as to not only clear themselves, but also make the Hu generals grateful, and the relationship will naturally be much closer in the future."

Wang Shichong had never thought of this strategy before, and he was slightly stunned when he heard it at first, but soon realized that something was wrong, and said: "But what if the emperor is unwilling to transfer these properties to the Hu generals?" ”

Xiao Mo laughed and said, "This is the effect you want, with Yang Guang's greedy personality, he will definitely not give it to the Hu generals." But Brother Wang has already written publicly. That's not afraid. If Yang Guang swallows these industries by himself, those generals will only hate Yang Guang even more. ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, this idea is indeed very novel, and with his own understanding of Yang Guang, he will indeed do this.

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said, "What can that aunt of yours do in this regard?" Persuade the emperor to give away the property in hand? ”

Xiao Mo said with a smile: "My aunt will look at the face and follow the trend, Yang Guang is very assertive, you can only follow his wishes." Push him when hesitating, but never try to influence him. ”

Xiao Mo paused and continued: "In fact, Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, has fallen to the point where he is today, and he has also committed some taboos in this regard, many times he is trying to go directly to the emperor to come up with a set of plans that he thinks is appropriate, instead of looking at the emperor's intentions, this qiē is also in Yang Guang's eyes, and he will naturally be jealous. ”

"Su Wei has done a good job in this regard, he is always aware and welcome, so this person is even in Yang Guang's dynasty. There will be no problems, and he can continue to keep his official position. ”

Wang Shichong snorted disdainfully. said: "That old slippery head, don't mention it." ”

Xiao Mo waved his hand and said, "He is an old slippery head, but he can survive and climb to a higher position, and this person is also talented, not incompetent." However, I want to remind Brother Wang, this person has always been dissatisfied with Brother Wang, Brother Wang's official position is not high for so many years, and he has not posed a threat to him, but if Brother Wang really wants to move up, he will inevitably be suppressed by this Su Wei crazy. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it seems that you know Su Wei very well!"

Xiao Mo said with a smile: "I told Brother Wang one thing, you will know, Shangshu Youcheng Li Gang, and at the same time impeached Yang Su and Su Wei, this time with Liu Fang's army to the south to conquer Linyi, along the way by that Liu Fang in every way, almost seeking death, this should be Brother Wang's handiwork." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Yue Guogong shouldn't have thought about harming Li Gang, let alone given this kind of order to Liu Fang, he just hopes that Li Gang can experience the battle and not be so nerdy." ”

Xiao Mo was silent, looked at Wang Shichong carefully, as if he wanted to see from his expression whether the other party was lying, and after a long time, he sighed: "If what Brother Wang said is true, it is not the same as the outside world's understanding of Yang Su." ”

Wang Shichong's face did not change, and continued: "Yue Guogong is just a little more competitive and arrogant, and he is not the kind of person you imagine who will repay him. ”

Xiao Mo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Where, where!" I believe in Brother Wang's words, if it wasn't for the order of the Duke of Yue, then it must be Su Wei who is playing tricks, otherwise Liu Fang would not have tossed that Li Gang for no reason. ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "Now that Liu Fang has won a big victory, there is no need to embarrass Li Gang anymore." ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Brother Wang imagined things too simply, Su Wei didn't kill Li Gang, would he continue to come back and be his enemy?" It's impossible to think about. ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, and he let out an "oh" and said, "What's going on now?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "After Liu Fang's army occupied the capital of Linyi, it began to be unadaptable, the epidemic was epidemic, and in less than ten days, about thirty percent of the soldiers fell, and even Liu Fang himself was infected with the epidemic, so he had to order the destruction of the capital of Linyi, and then withdraw the army and return, Liu Fang himself was also seriously ill on the way to the withdrawal, and he died. ”

This news was a bolt from the blue for Wang Shichong, and he blurted out: "How can this be? Liu Fang is dead? ”

Xiao Mo sighed and said: "Yes, the news is true, it is really jealous of the heroes, Liu Fang has established an immortal feat that is no less than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty General Fubo Ma Yuan, but it is actually gone." Yue Guogong must have been disappointed, after all, this Liu Fang was personally recommended by him. ”

Wang Shichong thought that before leaving, he had discussed with Pei Shiju about Liu Fang for a long time, and was ready to work this person in the future and help him, but there was no need to say anything more now. So Wang Shichong's expression also became gloomy, and after a while, he sighed: "What about Li Gang's result?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "According to the news that just came back from Daxing yesterday, after Li Gang returned to China with the army, because he was unwell, he may also realize that he was more or less infected with the epidemic, or he wanted to stay away from these soldiers who had the epidemic, so he temporarily left the army and found a place to recuperate. When Su Wei heard about this, he immediately went to the table to impeach Li Na for leaving his post without permission. asked Yang Guang to cure his sins. ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly asked, "Did the emperor punish him for his crimes?" Wang Shichong has always believed that Li Gang is a loyal and righteous person. Although it is likely that it will be opposed to its own position in the future. But he didn't want him to kill Su Wei like this.

Xiao Mo was slightly stunned and said, "Su Wei's removal of Li Gang is beneficial and harmless to Brother Wang, why doesn't Brother Wang seem to be happy at all?" ”

Wang Shichong realized that he didn't hide what he was thinking just now, which made Xiao Mo a little suspicious, Xiao Mo decided that he was as ambitious and unscrupulous as them, so he would find a way to make friends, if he showed too much sense of justice. Maybe this person will let Empress Xiao immediately persuade Yang Guang to attack her family.

So Wang Shichong smiled "hehe", tried his best to put on an evil expression, and said: "Su Wei instructed Liu Fang to hurt him too hard along the way, just now I was just anxious to know the final result." ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "I see." The emperor did not kill him, but issued an order to cut off his official position and demote him to a commoner, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and wanted to leave a benevolent and good impression in front of the people, so Li Gang could be regarded as picking up a life. However, he has now been demoted to civilian office. is not above the court, and he will not be able to threaten Brother Wang in the future. Brother Wang can rest assured. However, judging from this matter, Brother Wang should be able to see Su Wei's personality clearly. ”

Wang Shichong's heart suddenly sank, and a few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, Su Wei dealt with a Li Gang who had just impeached him and killed him like this, so once he posed a threat to Su Wei in the future, with his sinister nature, he would not put himself to death? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and even his breathing became a little heavy.

When Xiao Mo saw Wang Shichong like this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Brother Wang, don't be impatient, Su Wei's words are far inferior to my aunt's, even if Su Wei and Yu Wenshu slander Brother Wang every day, my aunt will definitely try to deal with it." ”

Wang Shichong calmed down, glanced at Wei Zheng, who was thinking on the side, calmed down his mood, and said, "Then according to the three things you said, can I, Wang Shichong, really be safe?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, and said, "Brother Wang, you have imagined things too simply, Yang Guang is very resentful, and sooner or later he will attack you." Doing those three will only delay the disaster in your family, but sooner or later, he will still get rid of you sooner or later. ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "Then speaking of which, the emperor still can't let us go, and your aunt can't stop it, according to the three things you said, it can only be delayed, so why should I listen to you?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "Brother Wang, the mystery is here." Just now we talked about our views on current affairs, Yang Guang's suppression of martial arts and promotion of literature is only one aspect, but Yang Guang has a strong sense of vanity and is so happy with his achievements, once the country is stable, he will definitely want to start a foreign war, so that he can add a martial character to his nickname. ”

"So it doesn't matter if your Wang family is temporarily unpowered, as long as you have time, you will have a chance to make a comeback. As long as it is dragged until Yang Guangdong's expedition to the west and the domestic people's resentment boils, then Brother Wang will come forward again and raise his arms, under the banner of exterminating the tyrant, plus your brother Wang's heroes are invincible, are you afraid that you will not be able to achieve great things? ”

Wang Shichong felt funny in his heart, this person was obviously expecting others to make him angry, but he could say so righteously and sternly without changing his face, which was really disgusting.

But Wang Shichong didn't show any abnormal expression on his face, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao is probably overestimating my Wang Shichong's strength, if according to the three you said, our Wang family closes the door, gives up power, hands over military power, and even transfers property, even if it really comes to the day you say, what can we do?" Who will remember an outdated family that has been away from the political center for several years or even decades? ”

Xiao Mo waved his hand and said: "An old minister like Yue Guogong and He Ruobi can't wait for that day, but Brother Wang, you are in your prime, if Yang Guang wants to conquer the Quartet or suppress the rebellion in the country, you must be used, so there is no need to doubt that he will not be able to take charge of the army and power in the future, my aunt will also help you." ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, does Empress Xiao really have such a great influence on the emperor?" In the past, when the emperor acted in front of the emperor, he naturally had to pretend to be in love with his husband and wife, and at that time, Queen Xiao was also a couple in distress to the emperor, but now? ”

"The emperor has ascended to the throne, and there is no need to be afraid of anyone, and Queen Xiao is already a. As far as Wei Zheng knows. The emperor is now pampering Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua. Empress Xiao is afraid that it will not be so easy to see the emperor now, let alone speak like before. ”

The muscles on Xiao Miao's face jumped, obviously being said to be in the sore spot, but in an instant, he laughed and said, "Mr. Wei is too worried, Yang Guang has been suppressed for many years, and now he has no control, indulge himself." Find some young and beautiful concubines to try it, this is human nature. Even if it is the first emperor, when he has the opportunity, won't he still be fortunate to be a good girl? ”

"But for military affairs, especially about the East Palace, who else can Yang Guang talk to besides his aunt? Just like the former emperor, even in his old age, Queen Dugu Wenwen is already close to the age of sixteen, isn't it still a major matter to discuss together? So Mr. Wei can rest assured that his aunt will always be able to speak in front of Yang Guang. ”

Wei Zheng smiled. Didn't go any further. And Wang Shichong is very bright, Empress Xiao is indeed unlikely to exert influence like Yang Guang when he was still the king of Jin or the East Palace. Therefore, the beautiful future painted by Xiao Mo is mostly a castle in the air, and Wei Zheng is using this way to remind himself that the other party's hole cards are not credible!

So Wang Shichong's heart was warm, in this era of careerists everywhere, how cherished and touching the heartfelt friendship between Wei Zheng and himself was.

Wang Shichong smiled at Xiao Mo and changed the topic: "Mr. Xiao, even if what you say makes sense, but the future is too illusory, and Xuancheng also makes sense, the emperor is not the first emperor, he doesn't miss the old feelings very much, what is the status of Queen Xiao in the future, it's really hard to say now." Can you be a little more practical, like what you can do in the future? ”

Xiao Miao's face changed slightly, and there was a bit of anger in his voice: "What do you mean by this, Brother Wang?" Is it evaluating Xiao's strength to judge whether it will be useful to you? ”

Wang Shichong replied without hesitation: "Yes, it's that simple, we are sincere in cooperation, but this sincerity must be based on the equal strength of both sides." Now no matter how you talk about the lotus, say that our Wang family is useless, and a catastrophe is coming, but at least now our family is rich and powerful, you should also know that my Wang Shichong's industry is all over the world, if the emperor forces us, if he really makes a move, it is really hard to say who will kill the deer. ”

Wang Shichong stared at Xiao Miao's eyes tightly and continued: "You should be more aware of the process of counterinsurgency this time. Yang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops, more than a month under the attack of the imperial army was wiped out, a large number of proud soldiers and fierce generals have been able to be promoted to the rank of knight, what you can think of is to ask Wang to transfer the industry, in order to make friends with these Guanzhong generals, but I tell you Mr. Xiao, you have never been on the battlefield, you don't understand the mind of a man on the battlefield, life and death are shared, and the love of the bloody battlefield is far more reliable than money. ”

Wang Shichong said excitedly, stood up suddenly, and burst out with an awe-inspiring and inviolable momentum all over his body, so that Xiao Mo on the opposite side was sweating like pulp, and he couldn't even breathe, and his two ears continued to drill into Wang Shichong's breathy, and like a cannon.

"Mr. Xiao, if you say that cooperation should be sincere, you should openly and honestly admit the strengths and weaknesses of both parties. Instead of being like a profiteer, desperately saying that other people's goods are worthless, and at the same time inflating their own value, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to bargain and seek a false cooperative status. You say, don't you? ”

After Wang Shichong finished speaking, the anger in his heart was vented, his mood was much better, his expression calmed down, and he even smiled and saluted Xiao Miao, and then sat back on his stool peacefully.

Xiao Mo was robbed of Wang Shichong's white just now, and his face was blue and red for a while, and finally when Wang Shichong finished speaking, he laughed dryly, which was regarded as relieving the atmosphere, and he also smiled on his face, and said: "Brother Wang's strength and Brother Wang's bravery, Xiao Mou has always admired it tightly, otherwise he would not have specifically chosen to cooperate with you, Brother Wang may have misunderstood me a little just now." ”

When Xiao Mo said this, the words suddenly changed and said: "It's just that Xiao thinks that although Brother Wang is powerful, it is also true that he is now suspected and guarded against by Yang Guang. ”

"Although Brother Wang said impassionedly just now, you also said that now you don't have a single soldier in your hands, and all the soldiers in the counterinsurgency are from the imperial court. If the emperor really attacks your family, may I ask if you can still recruit more than 100,000 troops to protect yourself? ”

When Xiao Mo said this, he seemed to have regained some confidence, let out a sigh of relief, and continued: "I don't deny the strength of your Wang family, let alone underestimate Brother Wang's ability to run rampant in the world, but if your Wang family wants to challenge the imperial court and pull out an army like Yang Liang in the short term, I'm afraid it's unrealistic!" Brother Wang, you said that you want to be honest, then can you tell me honestly, is what I just said right or wrong? ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said slowly: "Yes, what you said is the truth. But please don't forget, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how much our Wang family attracts the emperor's jealousy, now we have the ability to pull out more than 2,000 dead soldiers in Daxing, not to mention the branches all over the country. ”

"May I ask how much power your Xiaoliang royal family can have now? In addition to an aunt who became the queen, a deposed last emperor, the current uncle of the national princess, a cousin who served in front of the history of the five products, and you, the down-and-out folk dynasty clan, what else can you do? Why do you want to cooperate with our Wang family on an equal footing? ”

Xiao Mo replied unhurriedly: "Brother Wang is afraid that he underestimated the power of our Xiao family, my aunt has been operating in the palace for many years, and after the death of Queen Dugu Wenwen, she took control of the East Palace as the crown princess, far from the frustrated queen who is old and decrepit and is about to be beaten into the cold palace." Even if Yang Guang is no longer fortunate to her, just because she gave birth to two princes, her participation in major events in the court is indispensable. ”

"As for my cousin Xiao Yu, he is only eight buckets tall and full of wealth, and when Yang Guang is surrounded by a bunch of sycophants, he can also give some advice from time to time, and this alone is destined for him to have a place in the court in the future."

"Finally, although Xiao is just a cloth cloth, or even a cloth that has just cleared the name of a fugitive, he is already well-known in the Yingzhou area, and even in the Jingxiang area further south. In the past few years, I have secretly gathered the old ministry here, and there are also many loyal people who have been favored by me and are willing to repay with death, such as the old couple who are now guarding the wind for us outside. ”

Wei Zhengqi said: "Didn't they sleep?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "Xuan Cheng, you are too underestimating others, Xiao Gongzi is here to talk to us about the destruction of the Nine Clans, how can they sleep peacefully?" I could feel their murderous aura when I entered this courtyard. One must be hiding behind a pyre, and the other is lurking in a water tank, right? ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "Brother Wang really has good eyesight, and the keen intuition cultivated on this battlefield is really not covered." ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "But Mr. Xiao has exposed his identity with such fanfare, and he will presumably enter the court as an official in the future, is it possible that you can still control these old departments remotely in Luoyang?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head, and said: "Of course this won't work, but my aunt has already arranged it, and when the time comes, let Yang Guang give me a county order or a state and county official in the Jingxiang area, as long as I have an official body, and then I go to this place, I will naturally be like a fish in water, and as long as I have enough money, I can naturally secretly recruit a large number of dead soldiers for my use." ”

Wei Zheng said suddenly: "So Mr. Xiao hopes that the lord can fund your Xiao family with a large sum of money, so that you can recruit enough people who are willing to work for your Xiao family?" ”

Wang Shichong heard what Wei Zheng meant, he was reminding himself of Xiao Miao's true thoughts, Xiao Mi said so much before, in fact, the real intention is this, they have no funds, it is impossible to buy and recruit enough people, so they can only rely on their own family's strong financial resources, this is the cooperation that Xiao Mi really wants to talk about with himself today.

Xiao Mo also heard what Wei Zheng meant, and secretly scolded Wei Zheng in his heart It was really annoying, and he reminded Wang Shichong several times today at critical moments that he would spoil his own big things, but he was still very calm on the surface, smiled slightly, and said: "What Mr. Wei said is that eight-nine is not far from ten, which is an important part of our plan." ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "What an important link, your Xiao family first provoked the relationship between the emperor and the emperor, forced them to be incompatible, and forced our Wang family to a dead end, and now he has taken a fancy to our family's money, and wants us to pay for you to recruit troops, is there anything more shameless in the world?" (To be continued......)
