Chapter 48
Suddenly, Chai Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked a little hoarsely: "Is this really what Baili Wuji, my righteous brother means?" ”
Wang Pu was stunned for a while, and then realized that Chai Rong was asking himself, Wang Pu looked at Chai Rong's eyes staring at him, his heart was sour, and he replied with a hard heart: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”
Chai Rong leaned back slightly, let out a long breath and said, "So, I know, you can go back." ”
Wang Pu was stunned again, Chai Rong let himself go like this? I only completed half of the task, and I couldn't complete the most important half.
According to the plan, Chai Rong and Zhou's ministers should have reacted by asking themselves how they could continue the alliance between the two countries, and asking Ming what conditions they had for this. Unexpectedly, Chai Rong did not react at all, and what made Wang Pu even more puzzled was that Chai Rong seemed to agree to destroy the alliance. This is the opposite of what was planned.
And the ministers of the Zhou State, even though they had the intention to persuade and try to bridge the alliance between the two countries, but seeing Chai Rong's expression and reaction like this, they did not dare to risk becoming Fu Lingguang's second, so they closed their mouths together and watched the situation develop.
Wang Pu was anxious and looked at Li Gu, hoping that Li Gu could help him.
But Li Gu is now regretting helping Wang Pu and bringing Wang Pu into the palace, as an important minister of the Zhou State, Li Gu deeply regrets that he should have turned Wang Pu away that night.
Once the alliance is destroyed, the two countries are ruthless and righteous, and in the face of Liao and blocking the strong enemy to suppress the realm, the Zhou State has only two ways, surrender or die. If he surrendered, the Zhou State would inevitably meet the Ming State with soldiers; If the country is destroyed, although the Zhou State is killed in the Liao State. But why didn't he die in the Ming Kingdom?
In this way, how could Li Gu help Wang Pu again.
Li Gu didn't pay attention to it, which made Wang Pu regret it deeply. What Wang Pu regretted was that he had known that he would be in such a situation today, so he should have told Li Gu part of the truth first, so that in this stalemate, Li Gu might be able to help him complete the task of meeting with Chai Rong in private.
The current situation makes it impossible to meet privately with Chai Rong. If Wang Pu tells Chai Rong the truth at this time, then everything in front of him will be in vain, and the Liao State spies mixed with the ministers will spread the news that the Ming and Zhou alliances still exist or even that it is a trap to Shangjing of the Liao State.
The consequences of this are: The Liao State would not be fooled into attacking Yanyun, nor would it send the Liao army from the west to the east to reinforce the Liao army attacking Yanyun. In this way, the Liao State will recruit the army of the Han people to reinforce the Liao army on the battlefield in the west, plus the 50,000 reinforcements that block Bu to go south. The situation will spiral out of control.
Wang Pu was anxious. No, you have to think about it, even if you can whisper a word to Chai Rong, or even a few words, it can make Chai Rong guess that all this is an illusion.
The scene was very weird, Chai Rong had already given the order to expel the guest, but Wang Pu stood there stupidly, and retired without courtesy. nor speak; And the monarchs and ministers of Zhou also looked at Wang Pu silently, and did not urge Wang Pu to leave.
This kind of scene. unprecedented, and the people who have a heart also have their own plans and ghosts in their hearts.
Chai Rong had a strong sense of frustration surging in his heart, taking over the throne from his father-in-law Guo Wei, he was working hard and dedicating himself all the time, but unfortunately, there were Khitan and Divination in the north, Baili Wuji in the south, Tubo in the west, and the sea in the east.
I thought that my father-in-law insisted on making himself a brother with Baili Wuji before he died, and he had a strong backer, and in these two years, Baili Wuji did spare no effort to support the Zhou State, but now, just because of the accidental killing of two Ming students, Baili Wuji broke off his righteousness and abandoned himself and the Zhou State.
If there is really a hurdle that cannot be passed, Baili Wuji will destroy the alliance, and he will have nothing to say, but now, Baili Wuji will kill my important ministers and dig up my corner, and even send him to Kaifeng, claiming to destroy the alliance to threaten, so humiliating me, Shi can be killed but not humiliated, I will die of the country, and I will no longer ask him.
After all, Chai Rong still didn't open his mouth again to drive Wang Pu away, no matter how resentful he was in his heart, subconsciously, he always had a trace of doubt about this incident, whether it was Baili Wuji or Wang Pu in the incident, they were very different from the impression in his mind.
This strange scene is like a bowl of water about to overflow, shaking slightly, and no one dares to add a trace of external force. Even his breathing was controlled very slowly, for fear that if he was not careful, the whole scene would get out of control.
But whether it is the monarch and minister of Zhou or the envoy Wang Pu, even if it is a hundred miles of unscrupulous, it is impossible to predict that things have developed in an uncontrollable direction.
Because, an urgent military report from Pizhou was presented to the court, and after Chai Rong read it, he snorted coldly and ordered the eunuchs to circulate it to Fan Zhen, Li Gu and others.
And everyone who has seen it has looked at Wang Pu with an abnormal eye, which makes Wang Pu and the second monk puzzled. But there is a bad premonition in my heart, and this military report is likely to directly affect the success or failure of the plan.
The matter started from the friction between the Ming and Zhou armies, which was originally just a temporary special operations army, but because of the change of Baili Wuji's temporary plan, it was stranded in Pizhou, and at this time, the two countries were allied, and Zhou naturally did not deliberately drive the special operations army back to China.
As a result, the special operations army stayed, which inevitably had contact with the Zhou army and the people of the Zhou state, and the special operations army, whether it was daily training, or daily supplies, eating, drinking, Lazar, and armament, became the focus of attention. All this is new to the common people and even the soldiers of the Zhou army, and the food eaten by the special operations army every day is even more salivating, in this era, I am afraid that there is no other army that can compare with the supply of the special operations army. Although the special operations army was stranded in Pizhou, all supplies were transported from the Ming Kingdom. And when the soldiers and people of the Zhou army heard that the salary of the special warfare army was more than three times higher than that of the Zhou army, then the matter became extremely strange.
As the saying goes, "a tree attracts a big wind", in addition to practicing literature and martial arts on weekdays, the soldiers of the special operations army also help the surrounding people to do some chores within their ability in their free time, and also maintain law and order in the surrounding areas where the special operations army is stationed, patrolling and sentry. These should actually be the affairs of the Bizhou Mansion and Zhou Jun. But the alliance between the two countries is under the command of Xu Shouren. He was not at ease about leaving the security of the barracks and its surroundings to outsiders.
For Xu Shouren, regardless of whether the Zhou army was brave in battle or not, he really did not dare to compliment the appearance of the Zhou army, and he strictly ordered the soldiers of the special warfare army not to come into contact with the soldiers of the Zhou army, so as not to bring bad to the atmosphere of the special warfare army.
