Chapter 292: Foolproof!
Although Wang Mang had already received the secret report, Wang Kun stabbed the words "loyal to the country" in his back, but when he really saw these four words, Wang Mang couldn't help but be a little confused, but these four words meant too much, and he had to make Wang Mang think about it.
But Wang Mang quickly put this matter in the back of his mind, looked at Wang Kun and said, "Your loyalty I have seen, what good news can you bring here for your father this time." ”
"There is good news for your majesty. Wang Kun smiled and took out a letter from his cuff, handed it to Li Lan and said: "Your Majesty, this letter was received by my father three days ago, and it has been confirmed to be true by the internal investigation that penetrated into the rebels. ”
Wang Kun spoke, Li Lan had already checked the letter and handed it to Wang Mang, Wang Mang was stunned when he opened the letter, looked at Wang Kun and said, "Is it really written by Wang Jitang?"
"Sure. Wang Kun said with a look of certainty: "The handwriting is confirmed by someone." ”
Wang Mang immediately rejoiced: "It seems that my trip has been foolproof!"
Wang Jitang, the nominal prince of the rebels, the nephew of the rebel leader Wang Xi, his father and Wang Xi jointly launched a rebellion that swept through the south of Great Qin two years ago, and then unfortunately was hit by an arrow in the process of fighting with the imperial court, and died of serious injuries.
According to the spy's report, although Wang Jitang is not famous, he has a very high reputation among the rebels, and he has integrated his father's old department in two years, and his henchmen occupy a quarter of the rebels' forces, which can be said to be the largest force in the rebels except Wang Xi.
And this person, three days ago, Wang Jian, the general of the imperial court, claimed that he deeply felt the majesty of the imperial court, His Majesty's heavenly might, and wanted to surrender to the imperial court, and also directly trayed out the current deployment of the rebels, which was not left at all, and did not ask the imperial court's attitude and arrangements for him, so he directly led people to surrender.
At this time, the Son of Heaven drove the expedition in person, and Wang Jitang's surrender undoubtedly made the southern expedition almost foolproof, and a quarter of the strength of the rebels surrendered directly under the leadership of the nominal heir of the rebels, which was almost devastating to the rebels in the next counterinsurgency war.
The right time, place, and people are the three major criteria for judging the victory or defeat of a war. Originally, when Wang Mang occupied the sky, the rebels occupied an advantageous area, and half of the people, it can be said that the war really can't tell who wins and who loses, and now Wang Jitang's surrender, it can be said that he and directly stand on the side of the court, and Wang Jitang provided the rebel defense map, and the rebels' geographical advantages are surrendered to the imperial court, it can be said that now the imperial army directly occupies the three major factors of time, place and people, and the balance of victory has been completely pressed on the side of the imperial army.
In this regard, Wang Mang had to be happy, and looked at Wang Kun with a smile and said: "Wang Kun, I didn't misread you, I didn't misunderstand the three generations of your Wang family, you really brought me good news at this time, spread my will, Wang Kun fought bravely to kill the enemy on the frontline battlefield, I am very happy, and my military rank is promoted to one level." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, Your Majesty!" Wang Kun hurriedly kowtowed, he knew that he would definitely have benefits for coming this time, but he never thought that the Son of Heaven would be generous and directly promoted his general position to a higher level, originally he only thought that he would reward him with some money.
At this time, Li Lan and the others also realized that Wang Kun had indeed brought the good news that would determine the outcome of the battle, and hurriedly congratulated Wang Mang loudly.
Wang Mang smiled: "Let's all get up." ”
looked at Wang Kun again and said: "Wang Kun, Li Lan, you know it, this is the trusted Yulinwei commander Li Guang, known as General Fei, but he is a fierce general, you will be transferred to Li Guang's name in the future." ”
"I've seen General Lee. Wang Kun hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Guang.
Although Wang Kun is not famous, Li Guang has always valued talented young people, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, they are all brothers in the army!"
In a word, the relationship between the two was immediately pulled into a lot, and Wang Kun was also in a much better mood for the inexplicable transfer to Li Guangming, after all, it is difficult to find a boss who is easy to get along with.
"Li Lan, you go and ask people to call Wang Yongji and the others, the news brought by Wang Kun has brought great changes to the military situation on the front line, and my army should also change, let them come over and discuss it together. Wang Mang said again.
His Majesty wanted to recruit, Wang Yongji and the others came quickly, Wang Mang let Wang Jitang's letter be held by Li Lan for everyone to read, and then said, "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, is there any fraud?" Wang Yongji raised his eyebrows and said: "That Wang Ji Tangchen has heard that although he is young, he is indeed a very talented person, he is young and has no support, but in two years, he has integrated his father's old department, and his identity as the heir of the rebel army who is not favored is also sitting steadily, and the minister heard that Wang Xi wanted to move him several times, but in the end it was all over, such a person, the minister thought that he should be cautious." ”
"Lord Wang is right. Haifeng generally does not speak on such occasions, but today it is an unexpected speech, Haifeng said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, when Wang Xi and other traitors did not rebel, Weichen once saw Wang Jitang, although he was young at that time, but he was very intelligent, it is rumored that he has the ability to never forget, in the clan, this person has a good name at a young age, and was once regarded as a rising star in the clan, such a person, Your Majesty has to guard against." ”
Wang Mang looked at Wang Yongji and Haifeng with some surprise, he never thought that these two important ministers of the court actually had such a high opinion of Wang Jitang, you must know that these two lords are usually "open-mouthed" people, and what comes out of their mouths, the eight CDs are true.
Wang Kun was a little anxious on the side, this is the credit he brought, and he has been promoted to a higher level with this, how can these two masters be easily wiped out like this, but he also knows that he is a soft-spoken person here, and without His Majesty's holy decree, he must not speak indiscriminately.
Wang Mang glanced at Wang Kun and said lightly: "Wang Kun, the news was brought by you, tell the two adults about this matter." ”
"Yes. Wang Kun nodded hurriedly, and then said: "The last general Wang Kun has seen two adults, Wang Jitang's letter was sent to the general three days ago, and the person who sent the letter directly bit his tongue and committed suicide as soon as the letter was delivered, and the general also thought twice about the authenticity of the letter, and finally activated several internal responses on the rebel side to confirm it, and even ...... it."
Wang Kun stopped talking, peeked at Wang Mang, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The general even sent his cronies to infiltrate Shenmu County in the end, and exchanged tokens with Lu Xiao, the first strategist under Wang Jitang. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Kun actually kowtowed directly to Wang Mang and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not that the last general did not say it before, but that the last general is afraid that if he says it, it will make people mistakenly think that the general has something to do with the rebels.
