PS: Welcome to the main site of the starting point Chinese network Sui Mo Yin Xiong next to the author name of this work, click on the light icon of the great god pointing to Yun Xiao Tiandao 1, to receive the reward, I heard that there is a subscription discount.

Wang Shichong moved at will, and his subordinates pointed to the dragon and snake: "But this Chen Ling is different, he is a native of the Southern Dynasty, his hometown Lujiang is next to Jiangling, and he is half of Jingzhou, and he has his own cronies in the south, which can be seen from his ability to shelter Xiao's father and son for many years, and he has become a powerful local person in Lujiang, plus the factors of Empress Xiao and Xiao Cong, Xiao Mo definitely does not want Chen Ling to stay here all the time." ”

"And this Chen Ling may not be without ambition, his father Chen Xian betrayed the Xiao family back then, and ran to Nan Chen to be a assassin, although Chen Xian later followed with the demise of Nan Chen and was unlucky, but at least Chen Ling can see the possibility of throwing away the Xiao family and becoming independent."

"The Xiao family is already a dilapidated royal family of the former dynasty, this Chen Ling is not a fool, and they are just using each other, first used Xiao Mo as a springboard to take refuge in Queen Xiao, if there is a more powerful backer, he may change the court again."

Wei Zheng watched Wang Shichong write so much, and he was silent until Wang Shichong finished writing the last few words, he sighed and wrote: "What does the lord mean that if we take the initiative to approach this Chen Ling, this person may switch to us from Empress Xiao?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "That's right. ”

Wei Zheng immediately waved his hand and quickly wrote on the table: "Never! ”

Wang Shichong wrote with a smile: "Why not? Xuancheng, you also said just now that Jingzhou is the land of kings, and you can retreat and divide it, and you can enter the Central Plains. Jingxiang in the south, we can't intervene for the time being. Then support a Chen Ling in this Yingzhou. Didn't you lay out a dark chess piece early? ”

Wei Zheng's face was stern, and the candlelight reflected his uncertain face, reflecting the changes in his heart: "The result of this is to offend Empress Xiao and Xiao Mo at the same time, lord, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Xuan Cheng misunderstood what I meant, I didn't want to take the initiative to win over Chen Ling and let him switch to our Wang family, but I wanted to get Queen Xiao's permission first." Then transfer the five million money to Chen Ling on the spot and let him run here. ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned: "But lord, didn't you say that this place should be controlled by us?" Chen Ling, whether he is self-reliant or doing things for Empress Xiao, is not our person, so why should we support this person? ”

Wang Shichong said: "That was just my idea before I came here, and now that I have straightened out the whole idea, I find that the one we originally envisioned may not work." ”

"This small Yingzhou, the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, now there are at least four forces wrestling. In addition to us, there is also Xiao Milling. Chen Ling, Hu Sizheng and Li Jing represented the government forces. It's not as simple as we thought when we came out. ”

"Remember my grandfather? He just wanted his family to dominate and completely annex the other wealthy clans in Guzang City, so in the end he was expelled by others, which is a situation that we need to avoid as much as possible. ”

Wei Zheng laughed: "Since the lord said so, there must already be a formed plan." ”

Wang Shichong's eyes were shining, he nodded firmly, and wrote: "Yes, the alliance can be united, and the attack must be attacked!" ”

Wei Zheng let out a slight "oh", drank another bowl of wine, ate two pieces of beef, and praised: "I can't imagine that in this Yingzhou City, the wine and meat in this tavern are really good. As he spoke, he wrote on the table: "I wish I could hear it!" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Among these forces, Li Jing regards this Yingzhou City as a place to practice intelligence, and among all the public enemies who want to establish their own forces here, the first one to be eliminated is Li Jing." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "That's true, his existence threatens everyone, Hu Sizheng has actually always turned a blind eye to Xiao Miao's affairs, and Li Jing is serious, but the lord you won't really want Li Jing's life, this matter will be resentful of the nobles of Guan Long's military merits." ”

Wang Shichong said: "Of course not, as long as Yang Su finds a way to promote this Li Jing as an official of the Criminal Department, transfer him back to Luoyang, and leave Yingzhou." ”

Wei Zheng frowned: "But Li Jing himself resigned, he doesn't have an official status here, and I don't know how he got the authority to track down Xiao Miao's intelligence network, but he didn't completely crack the Xiao Miao Group here, and he can't talk about making great contributions, how can he be promoted without merit?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "This is what Yang Su is considering, he should have the ability to let Li Jing be transferred to other places." Han Shige is leaving, and Li Jing naturally has no reason to stay. ”

"Next is Na Hu Sizheng, this person's attitude is **, I haven't contacted him now, it's hard to say, how to deal with him, wait until I see this person in the future and then draw conclusions."

Wei Zheng wrote: "What about the others? What can be united, and which must be combated? ”

Wang Shichong thought for a while and wrote: "Now it is Empress Xiao who must be united, only she can really make our Wang family temporarily safe, if the relationship with her is stiffened, as long as she slanders in front of Yang Guang, then our catastrophe will come at any time, and now the layout has not been completed, at this time, we still have to endure the word." ”

"Chen Ling is the person that Empress Xiao put here to spy on Xiao Milling, so if you want to contact Empress Xiao directly, you can only pass guò this Chen Ling, regardless of whether he has the idea of self-reliance or not, at least at the beginning, he must pass Gu ò Chen Ling to send a message to Empress Xiao to show that our Wang family is willing to cooperate with Empress Xiao."

"Xiao Mo got rid of the old woman killer sent to him by Queen Xiao today, of course, he can say afterwards that this old woman was eliminated by Li Jing, but we can go and explain to Chen Ling that Xiao Mo wanted to be self-reliant, and the old woman heard it, so he wanted to kill people, Chen Ling should believe it. Because since we found him directly, it means that Xiao Mo must have leaked his identity, and with the death of the old woman's killer, Chen Ling will definitely fall to us. ”

"At this time, we will give the five million money, whether it is to Queen Xiao or Chen Ling herself, they will not refuse this big gift. That's why you choose to work with us. ”

"As for that Xiao Mill. If he knew each other, he should take the initiative to withdraw the people who were still here. If he doesn't know each other, in the future, we will find out the secret agents left by Xiao Mo in this city, and then report to Chen Ling, I believe that Chen Ling will have a way to get rid of Xiao Miao's subordinates, and in the end, this Yingzhou City will only leave us and Chen Ling, and Chen Ling can be our ally to help us develop and grow here. ”

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "But that's it." Will Chen Ling also become uncontrollable and want to stand on his own? Let's get rid of one Xiao Mill and another Chen Ling, which doesn't seem to be a good thing. ”

Wang Shichong nodded and wrote: "This is just a preliminary assumption for me, even if what Xuan Cheng said happens, at worst it will not surpass Xiao Miao's power is still here, because whether Chen Ling is self-reliant or loyal to Empress Xiao, his power here as a local tyrant in Lujiang is far inferior to that Xiao Miao, and if he wants to maintain it, he may have to continue to rely on the financial support we give him." ”

"So it's possible for Chen Ling to control it. And Xiao Milling, as Xuan Cheng said, can't control it. In this case, it is clearly in our interest here to drive out a more capable wolf of ambition. ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and wrote: "But if you offend Xiao Mo like this, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against us?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "The current Xiao Mill can't develop without money, and six million dollars have become one million, which will naturally greatly delay his development here in Jingxiang." However, we have to choose the timing of Chen Ling's showdown, not too early, otherwise if Queen Xiao knew that Xiao Mo had different intentions, maybe she would not have recommended him to be an official, this plague god can't go anywhere else, and he is bound to fight us to the death in Yingzhou, which is not good. ”

"So it's best to wait until Na Xiao Miao's exact appointment is confirmed, and then we will go to have a showdown with Na Chen Ling. In this way, it will not offend Xiao Mo too hard, so that there is no room for turning. ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "That's very good." It's just that in this way, Xiao Mo is not a fool, he will still hate us, my lord, this person is insidious and vicious, and capable, Wei still feels that since he can cooperate with Queen Xiao, it is better to get rid of him. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "There are two reasons why we can't do this now. First, we are still laying out for possible troubled times in the future, and this Xiao Mill can also be regarded as an ally of ours in the land of Jingxiang, and when it comes to making a move, it is better to have him than not to have him here. ”

"We can tolerate people like Xu Gai and Xue Ju, and we should also tolerate Xiao Miao, as for whether the territory of Jingzhou will be occupied in the future, that is a matter for the future, another matter. Otherwise, if the news of our fire and cooperation with allies spreads, Xu Gai, Dou Jiande, and Xue Ju may all have different intentions and no longer cooperate with us. ”

"Second, Xiao Milling is also a chess piece that can be used to contain Queen Xiao or Chen Ling, when we tell Chen Ling that Xiao Milling has a different heart, they are afraid that they will turn their faces, and when the time comes, it is estimated that the two sides will fight openly and secretly, and they should all come to us for support, so as not to let Xiao Mill develop too smoothly, but at the same time, we can't let Chen Ling swell too fast, so that we can have smooth sailing and smooth sailing here."

After Wei Zheng finished reading it, he raised his thumb at Wang Shichong, and his face was also full of admiration: "Lord, you are really clever in this view, and Wei is not as good as you." ”

Wang Shichong was secretly happy in his heart, it was really a very fulfilling thing to be able to get Wei Zheng's affirmation of his strategy, it seems that the books he has read over the years have not been in vain, and following Gao Xi and Yang Su to learn this kind of checks and balances has finally come in handy. Thinking of this, Wang Shichong's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

After Wei Zheng saw Wang Shichong's smug face, he wrote: "In fact, there is one thing that Wei has always wanted to ask for the opinion of the lord, but he has never had the opportunity to mention it. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Wei Zheng, under the flickering candlelight, the black and thin face looked unusually strict at this time, Wang Shichong's heart sank, and he quickly sat up straight, and wrote: "Xuancheng, please speak." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and wrote, "In the future, if it really comes time to eradicate the tyrant, what will happen to the puppet that is ready to be erected?" What is the lord going to do with him? You just said that you wanted to help Yang Zhao ascend the throne, but at that time, Yang Zhao, who had a grudge against us for killing his father, could still cooperate with us? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, and wrote on the table: "I also have a plan for this matter. In fact, we will be able to raise troops to fight violence in the future. It is not necessary to physically eliminate Yang Guang. Just remove him from the throne. And then let Yang Zhao take the throne, I think this should be the best solution. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to think of such a good solution, he also laughed, and praised with his palm: "Good plan, good plan!" ”

Wang Shichong patted Wei Zheng's shoulder and continued to write on the table: "But Yang Zhao's younger brother is really a headache. Empress Xiao calculated the road deeply, and planted the fuse of their brother's rebellion early on, even if Yang Guang would not make a big mess in the world, I was afraid that Empress Xiao would also make a fuss about her two sons. ”

"According to the situation revealed by Xiao Mo and us, Yang Zhao will only be thrown in the old capital Daxing in the future, and he will go to help Yang Guangzhen Fuguanzhong with the name of the prince of the East Palace. His younger brother, Yang Hui, the king of Qi (who had been promoted from Yuzhang to Qi after his accession to the throne), had heard that he would be allowed to return to the new capital of Luoyang from his current position as governor of Yangzhou. Hyun Sung, you should be able to see what that means. ”

Wei Zheng nodded heavily: "Yang Zhao has a docile personality and is unwilling to fight with others in everything, and King Qi is so aggressive now. I'm a little worried now that Yang Zhao may not be able to wait for us to start an incident, and he will be replaced. Lord, is there anything we can do for him? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head blankly and said in a low voice: "I can't think of any good way in a hurry, let's think about it later." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said to Wang Shichong: "Let's think about this matter later, let's get busy with the things in front of us now." So the identity and tasks of our group, has the lord arranged it now? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and wrote: "I have already thought about it along the way, Xuan Cheng, you will be a little wronged, first serve as my staff, you have no official status now, I can't directly give you an official position like Changshi or Sima, but this staff member does not occupy the establishment of the state government officials, and only needs to follow me every day, money and food, as well as the formation of an intelligence network, these are more troublesome Xuan Cheng to contribute." ”

Wei Zheng smiled, did not speak, and looked calm, this qiē had been expected by him.

Wang Shichong continued: "As for Zhang Jin, the last time he fought with me, he also got the military position of a lieutenant of the light car, and now he has the status of a six-rank military attaché, and he came to Yingzhou to assist me at the behest of the imperial court. ”

"Angata came here specifically to do the affairs of managing the accounts in this city, and the specific position to be awarded depends on the results of our dealings with Hu Sizheng. If Hu Sizheng is willing to take refuge in us, then let Anjiatuo be his deputy, and by the way, it can also serve the purpose of monitoring this person, if Hu Sizheng does not give us face and refuses Anjiatuo, then I will find a way to transfer Hu Sizheng and let Anjiatuo directly take over the post of the long history of Yingzhou. ”

Wei Zheng frowned deeply, and wrote: "Lord, Anjiatuo has no official status, is it not appropriate to directly appoint him as a governor in this way?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I have already arranged this, before I sent Anjiatuo to follow me, I recommended Anjiatuo to be a member of the civil department of the school of the sixth grade, so that he could go to the local area to inspect the financial account books of various states, if the long history of a state in charge of money and grain is not there, then Anjiatuo can temporarily manage the finances of this place." ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "It turns out that Brother Wang has already made arrangements. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "As for Renze, although he is my nephew, I, Wang Shichong, will not be too partial to them because of this, and will arrange tasks for him." At the beginning of our new arrival in Yingzhou, Xuan Cheng was responsible for establishing the entire underground intelligence network, and Ren had to follow Xuan Cheng first, familiarize himself with this set of operation process, and then arrange his future work according to what he learned. And Xiongxin is both wise and brave, so he will be my guard first."

Wei Zheng's smile was a little teasing: "Lord, you can really spare no effort to cultivate this eldest nephew, what to do with Xuan Ying and Xuan Shu, you have to grasp it." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Resign yourself to fate." At least my son can't help now, and Ren Ze is very well-behaved and very powerful now, I don't know if they will be equally obedient after going to the state government tomorrow? ”

In front of the gate of Yingzhou City, a group of officials in court clothes were lining up, facing the official road in the distance, waiting eagerly.

Standing at the front of the row is Han Shige, who is dressed in a purple official uniform, hanging a goldfish bag, and has a body like an iron tower, he is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a black gauze official hat, a purple face, eyebrows as thick as an ink knife, a leopard's forehead and ringed eyes, an eagle nose and a lion's mouth, and a full face of steel hair. If you change this civil official's dress into a full set of armor robes, it will be more suitable for his awe-inspiring general.

On Han Shige's left hand side, there was Hu Sizheng, who was obviously a head shorter than him, his thin and white face was full of wrinkles that did not match his age, his eyebrows were sparse, and his eyes were slightly squinted, his sharp gaze flashed, and he was wearing a crimson official uniform and a silver fish bag, which was in line with his identity as the governor of Yingzhou from the fifth grade.

And Li Jing is dressed in the same attire as Na Hu Sizheng, because although he resigned from the errand of the military department, he still has a military position as a general, and he is also from the fifth grade, but Li Jing's figure is obviously bigger than Hu Sizheng, although it is not as good as the tower-like Han Shige in front, but he can be regarded as a big man in this group of civil officials, which is a bit of a standout.

Standing on the opposite side is a group of military attaches from the state and county, the first one is that Chen Ling, he is about forty years old, with a fair complexion, a round face and small eyes, and a beard, but it is rare that his face is a little kind and kind, and there is no arrogance and fierceness of ordinary generals at all.

Even Chen Ling's beard, as well as the large armor and general's robe all over his body, seemed a little out of line with his amiable temperament, looking neither like a general nor an official, but like a wealthy businessman.

Behind Han Shige and the other three, there stood a group of subordinate officials in the county order and the state government in green civilian robes, and behind Chen Ling stood more than a dozen military attachés with full body drapes, from the commander to the brigade commander, according to the different military positions, the dress is also different, but there are a few officers who are powerful and powerful, not angry and arrogant, which forms a sharp contrast with Chen Ling, who is like a peacemaker.

The day is empty, two o'clock in the afternoon has passed, these officials of Yingzhou City have been at the gate of this city for nearly two hours, I heard that the new assassin Wang Shichong sent by the imperial court will arrive today, so even the eight counties and county orders of Yingzhou have explained their official duties on this day, and rushed to the city gate early, wanting to leave a good impression in front of the new assassin.

After being pestled here for two hours, there was still not a single figure on the official road, and even the people who were waiting at the Chang Pavilion in the north of the city had sent messages back several times, and there was still no movement of the new assassin.

Han Shige's face began to become more and more ugly, behind him, except for Li Jing, Hu Sizheng and Chen Ling, who were still as stable as Mount Tai, and Zhi Yue Yuan stopped, the other civil and military classes had begun to whisper, discussing why Wang Shichong had not appeared for a long time.

"The new Wang Thorn Shi is here today, is the news accurate?"

"I don't know, yesterday it was news from the state government, brother, I rushed over from the county as soon as I received the news. Brother Li, please look, didn't Han Tingshi and them also come here to greet them in person? You can't go wrong. ”

"But I heard that this new assassin didn't take the official road, he seems to have disappeared as soon as he left Luoyang, and no one knows where he went."

"Hey, you don't understand, I heard that Wang Tingshi is now under the suspicion of the emperor, and he has just put down the rebellion and returned to the dynasty, so he will release our Yingzhou as the assassin to the emperor, of course, he doesn't dare to call forward and hug, and he has taken office all the way."

"What Brother Liu said is very true, this Wang Thorn is very rich, and he has always been very pompous. In the past, even his family came out to run errands, all the way high-profile, and officials from all over the country had to be ushered in, not to mention, not to mention, at the end of last year, Wang Tingshi asked his nephew Wang Ren to go to Jiangnan to transport tea, and that Feng Lun also set off from Daxing all the way, and the scale of the caravan of thousands of people went to Luoyang. ”

"This time he himself came here to take office, and he actually had to take a small road, it seems that Wang Tingshi is really in trouble."

"Brother, I don't see it that way! I heard that Wang Shichong, that is, our new assassin history, has the name of a civil and military all-rounder, and has made great contributions in the past ten years to destroy Nanchen, Pingjiangnan, break the Turks, and Ding Yang Liang. Even if you don't have a good background and are not in a family, there is nothing wrong with doing this Yingzhou Thorn History. According to the etiquette of the imperial court, he is a thorn in history who walks all the way to the official road and lives in the official post, which is in line with the etiquette and law. (To be continued......)
