Chapter 33 The Sandpiper and the Clam Compete for the Fisherman's Profit
Sun Guo Palace
A group of dignitaries were drinking fine wine and admiring the dancing of many dancing girls, and the occasional lewd laughter filled the palace full of extravagance.
It seems to be holding something similar to a celebration banquet.
Suddenly, a soldier wearing silver armor and a silver sword came in from the outside, quickly came to the ear of Sun Guoquan, the emperor of Sun State, blocked it with his hand, whispered a few words to Sun Guoquan's ear, and then bowed down.
Sun Guoquan, who was already very happy in the excited environment, sank a little after hearing the news from the general, and became even happier, and couldn't help laughing excitedly, causing everyone around him to look at each other and wonder.
"Father, why are you so excited, could it be that there is good news from my sister's side?"
The two men sitting next to the emperor were the eldest prince and the fourth prince of Sun Guo, and they were also the two most favored sons of Emperor Sun.
The eldest prince is burly, and although he is one of the candidates for the future emperor, his appearance is not elegant.
Tiger back, fierce and vicious, has always been a fierce fighting faction, and over the years has also created a great reputation in the war, sitting on a lot of supporters.
And the other fourth prince, Yushu Linfeng, gentle and elegant, his demeanor and demeanor reveal the demeanor of a literati, and he also has many supporters.
Every time there is a major event, Sun Guoquan will definitely carry two people, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is like a move to cultivate a successor.
The future imperial power should be in the hands of one of these two, and the other princes are afraid that they will have no chance.
Therefore, the ministers who did not bet on the treasure before have re-bet on the treasure again, and this behavior also made the faces of the princes and princesses who were originally supported relatively difficult.
But there is nothing to be done, even they themselves have begun to stand in line one by one, hoping that the one who will support them in the future will also be able to get a little benefit when they successfully ascend the throne.
The final result was that there were slightly more supporters behind the eldest prince than the fourth prince.
Although the four princes have the temperament to become emperors, the eldest prince has not only made great achievements in these years, but also established prestige among most people, so the possibility of the eldest prince becoming the next emperor is still greater.
"Haha, that's right, it's indeed news from Fang'er. ”
"Father, could it be that Wei Chigong is already so cowardly that even the 100,000 remnants of the defeated army can swallow his anger and accept it without a word of complaint?" the eldest prince was puzzled and asked.
When Sun Fang sent someone to interrogate, he originally said that he would send millions of troops to assist Wei Chi Gong in his rebellion, but he was suddenly temporarily changed by Sun Guoquan, not only reducing the number of people, but also changing the quality.
At that time, everyone was a little puzzled and asked the reason, but Sun Guoquan didn't say anything, just smiled incomprehensibly and announced the ebb tide.
Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to disobey Sun Guoquan's order and acted according to the law.
"Oh, it's not, on the contrary, his courage is not ordinary, but it is what I wanted. Speaking of which, although the emperor was still very happy, he was still a little angry when he thought of Wei Chigong's approach.
Even if it had been set up for Wei Chigong to jump in, this approach still made Sun Guoquan feel depressed, and Sun Guoquan thought at most that Wei Chigong would only let those people become the vanguard of the war.
But unexpectedly, Wei Chigong was even more cruel, and directly killed these 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Father, could it be that Wei Chi Gong put those 100,000 people under house arrest?"
The fourth prince, who is known as the living little Zhuge , deduced something from his father's tone and guessed.
"The fourth guess is not far from ten, but what we didn't expect was that he didn't directly put the 100,000 people under house arrest, and didn't even give them the right to be cannon fodder, and decisively killed them in the school field. ”
"What?" Not only were the eldest prince and the fourth prince stunned, but even all the civil and military ministers present showed expressions of disbelief.
Wei Chigong's move simply pushed himself to the cusp, no matter whether he won or lost in the end, in the end, Sun Guo had a reputation and could go out to fight.
"Father, how is the eldest sister in her situation now?"
The fourth prince, who had the same mother as the eldest princess, asked his father with a nervous face, if it weren't for this sister of his, no matter how smart he was, it would be difficult for him to become one of the contenders for imperial power.
It can be said that everything he is doing now is given by his sister, and when he heard what his father said, he changed himself to Wei Chi Gong, thinking about what he should do in this situation to be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After thinking about countless situations, but none of them were good, the fourth prince showed a ruthless look in his eyes, and secretly swore an oath, "Wei Chigong, if you dare to hurt my sister in the slightest, even if you die, I will make you die peacefully." ”
"Fang'er was temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon by that kid. "The emperor seems to have said something very insignificant.
Everyone could feel that the eldest princess had become an abandoned son of the emperor, and a smile appeared on the corner of the eldest prince's mouth without missing a trace, which looked a little ugly on his meaty face, but it quickly disappeared.
But the four princes were struck by lightning, and suddenly stopped in place, unable to speak for a while.
"Father, the child is going to rescue his sister. ”
After a while, the four princes finally reacted, knelt in front of the emperor, and asked for orders to rescue Sun Fang.
"Nonsense, look at your current appearance, you are still what a fourth prince should do. ”
The emperor, who was in a good mood, was angered by the sudden admonition of the four princes, and smashed the bronze wine glass in his hand in front of the four princes only three feet away, and the wine splashed in the wine glass, and reprimanded angrily.
The fourth prince was struggling in his heart, and when he saw the eldest prince's smiling smile on the side, he was very angry.
His fists were clenched, but he didn't know that his nails had been cut into the flesh, and the pain was not as good as his heart.
The emperor's angry rebuke instantly made the four princes' whole body sink, and their backs were instantly wet with cold sweat, understanding that if he touched his father again at this moment, he would definitely dislike his father.
At that time, it is very likely that the father will deprive himself of the right to compete with the eldest prince, so that my sister will be in vain for everything she has done, and I am even more sorry for my sister.
On the contrary, now, although my sister is in a bad situation, as my father said, she is not in danger of life.
It may be that Wei Chigong still remembered the ten-year relationship between husband and wife, but he just temporarily pressed Sun Fang into the dungeon and guarded it.
So now the only thing I can do to help my sister is to work hard to make herself the first heir and continue to do it for the eldest prince.
The four princes, known as the living little Zhuge , sorted things out at once, and understood what he needed to do now and what he needed to do but was not in a hurry.
There was a dark light in the lowered head, and it flashed.
"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, the child has just had a hot brain, he should not contradict his father, and ask his father for forgiveness. ”
When the ministers who originally supported the Four Princes were arguing with the Four Princes and the Holy Prince, their hearts had really risen to their throats, and they didn't want to be nervous.
are afraid that the four princes and the emperor will collide, and they will not have a chance to bet on the treasure again.
Now the four princes can recognize the situation, bow their heads and admit their mistakes, so those who can bend and stretch will become great things.
Therefore, not only did they feel that they had chosen the wrong person, but they also helped the four princes talk together and asked His Majesty for forgiveness.
"That's it, don't behave like this again next time, otherwise you won't blame the king. ”
Emperor Sun was happy that his plan was going well, but the four princes ruined all his good mood.
With a wave of his hand, he told the dancers and vocal musicians to step back first.
After receiving the order, they left the palace in an orderly manner.
At this moment, there are only a number of ministers and emperors left in the palace, the eldest prince, and the fourth prince.
"Father, what should we do now?"
The eldest prince spoke appropriately, alleviating the somewhat embarrassing situation.
"Action, hehe, it's not necessary, just look at it, watch the tiger fight from the other side, let's just wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman, hahaha!"
The saint said with a nonchalant expression, picked up the new wine glass that had just been replaced by the maid and was filled with wine, put it to his mouth and tasted it carefully, with a smile on his face, it seemed that he had already expected the ending.
"Good strategy, good strategy!"
"Holy Genius!"
"High moves, high moves!"
When they heard the idea of the saint, everyone below was stunned for a moment, and then as human spirits, they had already figured it out after just a little thought, and immediately praised the saint's clever means, this plan is really wonderful.
Originally, everyone thought that the saint should lend Wei Chigong a million male soldiers to directly conquer Zhang Guo, but they didn't expect the saint's means to be more clever.
Such behavior directly made Wei Chigong treasonous, but did not leave him a way back, so that Wei Chigong could only break the kettle and fight to the death with Zhang Guo.
In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the final winner will only be Sun Guo.
When the time comes, when both sides are defeated, Sun Guo will send troops to suppress it, and in the face of the defeated remnants, it will be easy to take it without much effort.
Even if Wei Chigong angrily starts a war against Sun Guo, Sun Guo can join forces with Zhang Guo to crusade against Wei Chigong, and when the time comes, he will not be able to work hard, and the biggest winner in the end will still be himself.
The emperor is really still the emperor, and he was able to think of such a wonderful strategy when Sun Fang came to borrow someone, and it was really unfathomable mountains and rivers.
......
The light gradually began to shine in the distance, and there were already low voices of discussion in Wei Chigong's tent, sometimes mixed with the sound of disputes.
"General, my subordinates don't think it's possible, if we attack directly from the front, although we have an advantage in numbers, Zhang Guo occupies a geographical advantage. ”
"If we force a frontal attack, we may lose even more horrific casualties, which will not help us cope with the rest of the situation. ”
Shi Ming was the first to follow Yu Chigong, when Yu Chigong was a small soldier, the two already knew each other, and later fought on the battlefield and made great contributions.
In the end, one of the two became the general of Zhenguo, and the other became the general's lieutenant.
On countless battlefields, Shi Ming provided Wei Chigong with countless good strategies, because of Shi Ming's existence, Wei Chigong was like a fish in water on the battlefield and made a great reputation.
"Shi Ming, then tell me, what should we do?"
Although Wei Chigong was very displeased, he still frowned and patiently asked for advice.
This proposal for a direct attack was offered by another lieutenant general, and Wei Chigong was very satisfied with the proposal.
It's just that the calm Shi Ming discovered the multiple flaws in it, and directly refuted it without regard for anyone's feelings.
"General, the general has a plan, but he may take a slight risk. ”
Shi Ming said his thoughts with some hesitation.
"Hurry up, let's hear it. ”
Wei Chigong knew that Shi Ming would not make something out of nothing, so he must have already thought of a countermeasure, and immediately asked.
"General, do you remember General Wang Hu who lives in Beicheng District?"
Shi Ming lowered his voice, and his voice could only be heard by the people in this tent, as if he was afraid that the wall had ears.
"Wang Hu, are you talking about the man who invited me to dinner several times, but I turned them down?"
Wei Chigong thought for a while, and finally remembered that such a person did exist.
"Yes, General, this is the man. ”
"Is that what you said about this person?"
Wei Chigong felt very puzzled, and didn't understand why Shi Ming would choose a person who had been rejected by him many times.
