Chapter 302: Let them not eat and walk in their pockets
Shenshui County Ya.
The atmosphere was depressing and terrifying, and since the envoy to the Kingdom of Yu came back, Wang Xi had a gloomy face, and none of the generals in the government dared to speak.
Everyone knows that Wang Xi's temper is not very good, and it would be troublesome to provoke Wang Xi at this time.
Syllable!
After a long time, Wang Xi slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Guo Changfu, Pifu also, he is robbing with fire, and he is not afraid of eating!"
Zhao Wuji said with a cold face: "The prince has been humiliated, and the last general is willing to assassinate Guo Changfu in the Kingdom of Yu to avenge the prince!"
"You?" Wang Xi angrily pointed at Zhao Wuji and said, "Why did you assassinate Guo Changfu?
"The last general...... With a lot of blood!" Zhao Wuji said.
"Hot blood?" Wang Xi snorted and said: "Don't talk about those useless, Guo Changfu, this old horseman, is sure that this king has a request for him now, and there is no way to take him, this is to blackmail this king, but he also did wrong, take advantage of the fire to rob, who wouldn't, if this king sits in Guo Changfu's position, this king will be the same." ”
Seeing Wang Xi say this, it was even more difficult for the generals present to say anything, Wang Xi pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think of Guo Changfu's request?"
"The last general will listen to the prince. The generals spoke.
"Listen to this king, won't you do anything without this king?" Wang Xi snorted and said, "What is Wang Mang doing with Xiao'er?"
"Staying in Shenmu County, the former commander Sun Wuji and a group of people are now building a bridge on the bank of the Shenshui River, it seems that before the bridge is built, the imperial army will not come. A general came out of the ranks.
"What is the morale of our army?" Wang Xi said again.
"Morale is like a rainbow!" said a general.
"Tell the truth!" Wang Xi said.
"I heard that the imperial court sent a million troops to quell the rebellion, and Wang Jitang surrendered to the imperial court with his soldiers and horses, and the morale of the soldiers was a little low. ”
"Just low?" Wang Xi said coldly: "Don't think that this king is deaf, blind, and this king is not a fool, although the king of the barracks does not go often, but some news still often reaches the ears of this king, and the morale in the military camp is not so low, this king sees, if the imperial army really comes, I am afraid that the soldiers of this king will be the first to kill this king, and take the head of this king to beg Wang Mang Xiaoer for mercy." ”
"The soldiers are still loyal to the king. Zhao Wuji whispered.
"Loyalty?" Wang Xi sneered and said: "Wang Mang Xiao'er has a sentence, this king thinks it is true, loyalty is only because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, Guo Changfu Lao Pifu is sure that this king has to beg him!"
"The King...... Do you really want to agree to Guo Changfu's conditions?" Zhao Wuji said in surprise.
"What if you don't agree? Does this king have a choice? Does Wang Mang'er choose the time with this king? Are the soldiers under this king willing to give this king time to choose?" Wang Xi's series of rhetorical questions made the generals present look panicked, Wang Xi's question is also their problem, no one knows when the army of the imperial court will come, and no one knows how long their heads can be put on their heads, it is really uncomfortable!
"Zhao Wuji, this king authorizes you to negotiate with Guo Changfu on behalf of this king, and what he wants, as long as this king has it, this king can promise him. Wang Xi changed his words and said: "But this king also told him that what he wanted, this king can give it, but this king must win this battle, and Wang Mang'er must die!"
"The last general will live up to the prince's trust!" Zhao Wuji said solemnly.
On the bank of the Shenshui River, Wang Jitang listened to Lu Xiao's report with an indifferent face, and what happened in Shenshui County fell into Wang Jitang's ears in a trace.
After a long time, Wang Jitang said leisurely: "Wang Xi is crazy, fight with the imperial court, that is the internal affairs of Great Qin, bring in the country of Qiu, not to mention luring the wolf into the house, at least logically, Wang Xi is tantamount to treason, the sage said, if you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy, I think it's good, what do you think, Lu Xiao?"
"Wang Xi is indeed crazy, so what should we do?" Lu Xiao said.
"Nothing is needed. Wang Jitang shook his head and said: "We have done enough, any more will make people jealous, we have to be low-key in everything we do now, not too high-profile, easy to misunderstand, these things, we just need to know them." ”
"Your Majesty, do you need to tell me?" Lu Xiao said.
"No, you don't. Wang Jitang shook his head and said: "On the rebel side, now countless people are squeezing their heads and wanting to show favor to the imperial court, do you think that the people in Shenshui County are all of the same mind as Wang Xi, and there are not many people in it who want to cut off Wang Xi's head and make meritorious contributions to the imperial court? ”
"Childe is wise, if it weren't for Childe's quick decision, I'm afraid I'm also in Shenshui County now, and I'm thinking about how to serve the court in a depressed mood. Lu Xiao said.
"In this world, you have to be the first person to eat crabs, otherwise you can only follow the first crab eater and eat the bones and scum left by others. Wang Jitang said softly: "Lu Xiao, Wang Xi doesn't have to keep an eye on it, put more claws in the country of Qiu, I always feel that Your Majesty is not so simple here." ”
"Yes. Lu Xiao nodded.
At the same time, Li Lan was reporting to Wang Mang, and as the head of the spy under Wang Mang, Li Lan was doing quite well.
Shenmu County is a place where the rebels have been entrenched for many years, and it is accessible in all directions, harboring a lot of big fish that have not had time to run with Wang Xi.
In addition to Nangong Zhe, the envoy of Shenmu River who was beheaded for public display before, he also found a lot of officials who originally served in the south of Daqin, especially in the three counties of Shenmu, most of these people were in the rebellion, and Wang Xi was originally mixed up, but soon, under Wang Jian's strong blow, the rebels were driven all the way to the three counties of Shenmu, the land of the three counties, there are many people and few positions, and many people are idle at home, and the mix is very unsatisfactory.
This time, Wang Xi fled to Shenshui County with people, leaving behind many people, who were hidden in Shenmu County, and under Li Lan's search, they were soon arrested one by one.
For these anti-bone boys, Wang Mang just took the imperial pen and gently hooked it and said: "It's all cut, I don't need wall grass!"
"The minions obeyed. Li Lan nodded, and said: "The spies over there in Shenshui County have sent news that Wang Xi seems to be in contact with the Kingdom of Qiu, intending to lure the army to assist him in fighting against the imperial court, Wang Xi, the old thief, is simply crazy, doesn't he know that the State of Yu has been ambitious for the wolf son of Great Qin for a long time?"
"Even you know something, can Wang Xi not know?" Wang Mang sneered and said: "It's just a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, don't worry about him." ”
"What about the Kingdom of Qiu?" Li Lan said: "Do you send some people to the Kingdom of Qiu to pay attention to the news of the Kingdom of Qiu at any time?" ”
"Pie. Wang Mang said: "Not only will the State of Yu send people, but also the State of Xu will send people to go, and in addition, I will send an order to Hanguguan to let them pay attention to the movements of Korea at any time. ”
"......" Li Lan.
