That girl was definitely not a spy.

The hanging of corpses is too cruel. But Jin Ling also understands that this is likely to be a way to quickly find the girl's black hand.

The change in the girl's expression before she died clearly indicated that the person who had sent her the letter was someone she trusted very much. She didn't expect the letter she trusted so much to send her was poisonous.

Wu Guohu's investigation did not end there.

Because after this investigation, a group of people with unknown origins were also found.

Most of these people say that they are from Qi or Liang, and they are all from their relatives, many of them have a guide, and of course some people have no guide.

For this part of the people, Lu Xuan ordered to be locked up and strictly investigated.

At the same time, the screening of various checkpoints has been strengthened, and anyone who passes through must be registered.

The Liang side has been under martial law since Jin Ling's northward journey, and when the imperial court and the Wu state went to war, they sent additional men. This time, I heard that Wu Guo caught the spy and hung the body for three days to set an example. Liang Guo once again sent additional manpower to strictly defend it.

Not to mention the Qi side, since the eldest son of Da Sima, Long Jincheng, was put on death row, the entire northern front was five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. After learning the news of Qi Huan's injury, Taifu Liu ordered the entire Qi country to also enter a state of combat readiness and put under full martial law.

Wu, Liang, and Qi were all under martial law, and soon Lu and Chu also set up full martial law.

In this way, all the five countries in the south entered a state of combat readiness.

The total martial law of the five countries soon caused controversy among the civil and military ministers of the imperial court.

Morning upwards.

Before Sima Yu arrived, the civil and military officials formed their own camps and quarreled endlessly.

In addition to those who should be natural, these officials also have the following countries. Of course, there are also quite a few officials from the five countries in the south.

Among them, Li Wenbo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has the highest official position.

For a time, the officials of the five countries all stood behind Li Wenbo.

Li Wenbo is also the proud protégé of Wencheng Guogong, so he naturally stood behind Wencheng Guogong again.

Da Sima could not go to the dynasty, and the official position of the Chinese Chengguo was the highest.

Some people suggested that in view of the martial law of the five countries, officials from each country should be sent back to find out whether the five countries were ready to go to war with the imperial court.

Seeing that it is about to reach the beginning of the year, if the five countries do not pay tribute, will they send troops to levy at that time?

When His Majesty arrived, the ministers stopped arguing.

After the monarch and the ministers saluted.

The main battle faction represented by Sima Han stepped forward first: "Your Majesty, the five countries have privately set up martial law, which is to demonstrate to the imperial court!" The minister invited 400,000 soldiers, and by surprise, he took Wu State in one fell swoop! Capture the wine fairy alive. The five-nation alliance is self-defeating! ”

Without waiting for Sima Yu to make a decision, the main faction headed by Wen Chengguo Gong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, whether the five countries form an alliance or martial law, it is all the business of the five countries." The first emperor set the rules when he canonized the Nine Kingdoms. As long as the nine kingdoms pay tribute and pay taxes on time, the rest of the affairs will be handled by the nine kingdoms. The old minister thinks that against the five countries, they should salute first and then soldier! Be ready to send troops, but we can't send troops first! ”

"First strike!" Sima Han said angrily, "It will be too late to make a move when the Five Kingdoms don't pay tribute." When the time comes, they will rush to it! Which one are we better to deal with? It's better to take a country by surprise. Punish someone as a warning to others! ”

"The five nations have formed an alliance!" Gong Wen Chengguo said in a deep voice, "The general sent troops to the five countries, what if the other four countries came to attack Yingtian!" They and Yingtian are separated by a water! At that time, the general is far away in Wu State, and he may have saved Yingtian? ”

"General Ben took away 400,000, and there are still 600,000 troops in this Yingtian City! Soldiers, you are fast! They won't be able to attack it in a few days. This general will be able to capture Wu in just three days. After the capture of Wu, plus Chen, Liang was also attacked on his back. You concentrate your forces on the Liang Kingdom. Strive to capture the Liang State within five days. After that, concentrate forces against the Qi State. As for the Chu State and the Lu State, they have a long way to go, and when their soldiers arrive, the Qi State may already be ours! After taking the Liang State and the Qi State, the Chu State and the Lu State will not be a problem. ”

Sima Han's words were magnificent, and it seemed that Wu Guo and Liang Guo were already in the bag.

There was silence in the court for a while.

Sima Han only squinted at Sima Han.

He's used to the position.

In fact, it is not difficult for the emperor to do it.

Something happened, isn't there a civil and military official? He just needs to listen attentively and then make a choice.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sima Yu did not speak.

Sima Han said to Sima Yu again: "Your subordinates will lead the troops to Wu State, and Yingtian's army will be under the control of your subordinates' second and third brothers, as well as generals from all walks of life, as well as people from the Great Sima Mansion. With concerted efforts, it is not a problem to resist the attack of the Qi State in a few days. If Wu goes to war, Qi will definitely send troops to help, so it will divide half of their troops. The country of Qi is full of 600,000 horses. As long as Liang does not send troops, we will win. ”

Sima Yu squinted at Sima Han and said, "How do you guarantee that Liang Guo will not send troops?" ”

"The minister thinks that Liang Guo may also be able to adopt the advice of Duke Wen Chengguo, salute first and then soldier! That virtuous German duke is the most greedy for life and afraid of death! Now that the situation has become clear, the wine fairy and King Qi are walking together. Liang Guo can't get any benefits if he follows! The minister thought that he could send someone to persuade him to surrender! As a matter of fact, as long as one of these five countries is united with us, the alliance will be self-defeating. ”

"Who do you think is appropriate?"

"Rite Squire!" Sima Han said loudly, "Lord Li's family is in Jinling City, and he can lobby and defend it!" Seeing that it is about to reach the beginning of the year, Lord Li will go back in the name of worshipping his ancestors, even if Liang Guo does not agree, it will not hurt Lord Li. At that time, Liang Guo's attitude will be clear. ”

"What does Master Li think?" Sima Yu looked at Li Wenbo carelessly.

As soon as the "minister......." remembered that he had been forcibly poured wine by King Lu when he went to the winery to spread the decree, Li Wenbo felt scared. At that time, King Liang and Xian Degong were all there. He was an official in Yingtian, and he hadn't returned to Jinling City for many years. Suddenly go back to worship your ancestors, wouldn't you not be a self-confessor? Besides, the state of Liang is already under martial law. As soon as he moves, King Liang and Duke Xian will know. If King Liang had the intention of rebelling, he was directly detained. It is said that his family is in Jinling City. But Ying Tian also has it, but he hasn't crossed the clear road. Spoiled wife and young son, how can he give up.

"This plan works!" Wen Chengguo Gong said on the side, "Wen Bo, you just have to work hard, the sooner the better!" The country's public will also send a letter to the virtuous duke, explaining to him the benefits and disadvantages! ”

Wen Chengguo spoke publicly, but Li Wenbo couldn't refuse, so he had to reply stubbornly: "The minister's order!" ”
