Li Xuan looked at Wang Xiongba and asked, "How did the thief Fu Gongyou you said wrongfully kill your right general, Wang Xiongdan?" ”

Wang Xiongba replied: "Fu Gongyou has always been the main battle, advocating confrontation with the Tang Dynasty to the end, and does not support King Wu surrendering to the Tang Dynasty without a battle, King Wu knows this very well.

King Wu left Jianghuai, in order to guard against the conspiracy and rebellion of Fu Gongyou and confront the Tang Dynasty, he appointed the most trusted general, Yizi Wang Xiongdan, as the right general of the Jianghuai Army to command the entire Jianghuai army. Before leaving, King Wu repeatedly instructed General Wang Xiongdan, no matter what the situation, he must not hand over the military power, let alone hand over the military power to Fu Gongyou, who is ambitious and capable, if he holds the military power, he will definitely wait for the opportunity to rebel and confront the Tang Dynasty. This will definitely affect themselves, the Jianghuai army, and the Jianghuai people. General Wang Xiongtan swore an oath that he would never hand over military power to Fu Gongyou.

After King Wu left, General Wang Xiongdan, in accordance with King Wu's instructions, did not give Fu Gongyou the slightest opportunity to meddle in military power, which made Fu Gongyou very dissatisfied.

However, it didn't take long for the bottom of the Jianghuai army to start circulating rumors that General Wang Xiongdan was supporting his troops and was trying to rebel against the rebellion. General Wang Xiongtan was deeply disturbed.

One day, Fu Gongyou came to find General Wang Xiongdan. He said expressionlessly: "The Jianghuai army has been circulating rumors that the right general supports his troops and intends to rebel, and I have reported this matter to King Wu who is far away in Chang'an. I just received a letter from King Wu, so take a look. ”

As he spoke, he handed a letter to General Wang Xiongdan.

General Wang Xiongdan opened it and saw that it was indeed the handwriting of King Wu. In the letter, King Wu accused General Wang Xiongtan of having two hearts, supporting the army and self-respect, and attempting to rebel, which were very unfavorable to him in Chang'an City, and even threatened his own life, and he hoped that General Wang Xiongtan could restrain his subordinates and control the Jianghuai army, and reprimanded General Wang Xiongtan for doing so, which was a villain's act and wanted to frame him for disloyalty.

After seeing the letter, General Wang Xiongtan felt that King Wu did not trust him, and he was extremely sad, so he excused himself from his illness and no longer touched military affairs, wanting to show that he was loyal to King Wu and had no intention of rebellion.

And Fu Gongyou, who forged the letters, took over the entire Jianghuai Army. Later, Fu Gongyou forged King Wu's secret order, saying that King Wu was humiliated by the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, and asked Fu Gongyou to lead the Jianghuai army to prepare for rebellion.

Because Fu Gongyou was King Wu's best friend and the second person in the Jianghuai Army, he had great appeal in the army, and there was evidence from King Wu's secret letter, the Jianghuai Army all believed it and began to build weapons, train soldiers, and prepare for rebellion.

At this time, General Wang Xiongtan realized that he might have been fooled, and King Wu's letter should have been forged by Fu Gongyou, but it was too late. Fu Gongyou sent his cronie Zuo Youxian to persuade General Wang Xiongdan to surrender, and General Wang Xiongdan was loyal to King Wu and swore not to surrender, and finally Fu Gongyou killed General Wang Xiongdan. ”

After hearing Wang Xiongba's words, Li Xuan expressed his skepticism and said, "You said that King Wu has always been wary of Fu Gongyou, why is this so?" Aren't they friends at the same time? Like brothers and sisters, life and death depend on each other, without any suspicion? The name of the love between the two and the name of the loyalty of the auxiliary father, is it famous all over the world? ”

Wang Xiongba replied: "King Wu and Fu Gongyou are like siblings, life and death depend on each other, there is no suspicion, they are friends with each other, these are not false. But this was all before the establishment of the Great Chu State. Fu Gongyou is the friend of King Wu, righteous brothers, the two share weal and woe, regardless of each other together to lay the foundation of Jianghuai, Fu Gongyou is older than King Wu, King Wu respectfully calls him a brother, the army also respectfully calls it "Fu Bo", the prestige in the army is very high, prestige and military exploits and King Wu is even more comparable, with the establishment of the Great Chu State, under the temptation of power, King Wu and Fu Gongyou have a suspicion, King Wu thinks that Fu Gongyou's status is too high, affecting his leadership, has been careful to Fu Gongyou, not only with the means of rising and descending, deprived Fu Gongyou of his military power, and drove the forces and troops that supported Fu Gongyou out of Danyang City, leaving him without support. Fu Gongyou had no choice but to use the excuse of learning immortal Taoism with his friend Zuo Youxian, withdrew from the battle with King Wu, and no longer cared about the big and small affairs of the Jianghuai Army, and no longer asked.

King Wu and Fu Gongyou respect each other on the surface, but in fact, they are already tense and powerful, which is a secret that is known but cannot be broken in the entire Jianghuai and in the upper echelons of the entire Jianghuai army.

King Wu left Jianghuai for Chang'an, he in accordance with the will of the imperial court, handed over the government affairs to Fu Gongyou, who did not care about the world, and handed over the military power to his henchman, the righteous son Wang Xiongdan, and instructed General Wang Xiongtan to be careful to beware of Fu Gongyou, but unexpectedly, General Wang Xiongtan was not Fu Gongyou's opponent in the end, and was killed by the thief Fu Gongyou. ”

Li Xuan was surprised: "Huh? It turned out to be so. They are just siblings on the surface, dependent on life and death, but in fact they are wary of each other and incompatible with each other. ”

Li Xuan thought of the five stages that many entrepreneurs in later generations have experienced: working together in the same boat, sharing joys and sorrows, sharing different dreams in the same bed, fighting in the same room, and ending up together. Forced by life, they can still be in the same boat, share weal and woe, once developed, involving interests, they will be in the same bed and different dreams, the same room, and finally they will die together, and people will die. People, friendship and love are really vulnerable in the face of material, power, and money. We can share weal and beg, but not happiness, maybe this is human nature. Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou should have experienced the stage of being in the same boat and sharing weal and woe, are they in the same bed or in the same room? I guess it's the same room. According to what Wang Xiongba said, Fu Gongyou has already started to kill, and Du Fuwei's henchman and righteous son Wang Xiongdan has been killed.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but secretly cry out in his heart: "Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, you two are too good at pretending, the relationship between each other has deteriorated to this point, but they still show respect and affection in front of the world, love each other, life and death, and no suspicion, so that everyone in the world envies your deep friendship and admires Fu Gongyou's loyalty and courage." The two of you deceived the entire Tang Dynasty and the whole world, and the two big liars, you dug a pit and finally tricked me into Danyang City, which was about to rebel. ”

Thinking about it, Li Xuan felt that he was unlucky. Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou dug such a big pit, and they and the entire Tang Dynasty didn't even find it, and they jumped into it happily before, and the King of Qin, King Zhaojun, who was close to him, and the emperor Li Yuan, who cared about him, all pushed themselves out of kindness. Now it's okay, I completely fell into the pit and couldn't get out.

Li Xuan looked at his good brother Zhao Meng who jumped into the pit with him, and smiled helplessly. After that, he said to Zhao Meng: "I'm going to trouble you again, Mengzi." ”

Zhao Meng said magnanimously: "What are you talking about, who made us brothers?" We are not fake brothers like Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, we are real brothers. ”

After Wang Xiongba shouted to Li Xuan, he wanted to leave. But when he walked out of the tent, he found that he couldn't get out at all.

The eight golden locks outside the camp tent have been laid out, and the eight Jianghuai armies wearing earthy yellow military uniforms are like eight earthy yellow dragons, winding and hovering on the green field outside the camp tent, connected from end to end, echoing each other, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, neat and orderly, densely packed, the entire camp tent has been surrounded by water.
