Section 163 Human Nature

His brother's words left Wang Guohua speechless, but he knew that his brother's words were not false.

Father's attitude towards the two of them has never been warm, in fact, although many soldiers in the Pinglu Army still uphold the concept of establishing a successor, but they can't change this reality, especially when San Lang is also a son-in-law, he and his brother have actually been excluded from the heir.

My father never seemed to have thought about the heir, and perhaps he didn't think he needed to think about it before.

However, now that the situation has changed drastically, it is difficult to say which way the situation will go.

But the elder brother's analysis of his father's mentality should be correct, and now his father will not consider the Pinglu Army anymore, because as long as the father can't get out, then the Pinglu Army will not be able to exist in its entirety.

"Does the Huai Right Army want my father to pass on the confession, will the second uncle and General Liu agree?" Wang Guohua hesitated and frowned, "I'm afraid this is not a simple matter. ”

"Hmph, Erlang, don't worry, my father will arrange it, even if Huai Youjun can't think about it, my father will think about it for them, he values himself more than anyone else, since he has lost the Pinglu Jiedu Envoy, then he will definitely not be willing to lose the prosperous life of the second half of his life, hmph, everyone will think so, especially under the premise that there are two better examples, you say that his father will not be tempted?"

Wang Guorong obviously can see the essence more clearly than his second brother, when his father fell into the hands of the enemy, he was doomed to the end of the Pinglu army, and the result of covering the sky with one hand was that once he lost this pillar, it would be like the pillar that held up the tent disappeared, and the tent could not cover the others.

"Okay, Erlang, we don't need to think too much, there will be results soon. Wang Guorong said indifferently: "For us, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse, Jiang Feng is not an idle person, maybe he doesn't want the Pinglu Army, but after removing the skin of the Pinglu Army, tens of thousands of soldiers are a good help for him, maybe we will not be much worse than our original situation in the future, and we don't expect to end up in the Pinglu Army, right?"

There are too many meanings in his brother's words, which makes Wang Guorong a little confused for a while, but he knows that his brother has always seen more far-reaching than himself, he said nothing, then it is nothing, he said that the future will be better, then the future may really be better.

For the Huaiyou Army, taking Wang Shouzhong, controlling Qingzhou City, and solving the remnants of Pinglu is only the first step.

Since Qingzhou City was easier to win than expected, it also brought some situations that were not expected before.

Like the Pinglu Army of more than 6,000 people, even if there are no weapons and blades, these people are trapped in the battlefield, which is still a hidden danger and needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Of course, it's just a hidden danger, without weapons, even if these people have been cut off their minions, in this era, you say that you want to raise thirty or fifty or even hundreds of weapons and blades at once, and the gentry can make it up, but if you want to get thousands of weapons and blades in a short time, it is illusory.

In the case that the iron weapons in the folk township are still treasures, no one will hide so many blades and weapons at home, and the gentry will not either, except for private soldiers, that is, one hundred and ten spare pieces is considered very good.

But for these more than 6,000 soldiers, to stubbornly resist the Huaiyou Army, which has an absolute advantage in numbers and morale, with bare hands, is to kill themselves, and fools know the result.

Ding Man led Guo Yue and Gu Tao to clean up the entire Qingzhou City together with the Ya Army, a huge battlefield, and of course there will be some diehards who refuse to lay down their weapons and want to take risks.

However, the atmosphere of the entire Qingzhou City has gradually calmed down, and after losing the backbone, everyone has to face a reality, that is, Huaiyou has entered Pinglu.

The next step should be to think about how to get along with the new ruler, how to win the recognition and trust of the new ruler, this is the primary task of the gentry in Qingzhou City, even if they have feelings for the past, but as the helmsman of the family, they have to let go of all their feelings and face them with reason.

The negotiation with Wang Shouzhong is undoubtedly the most important, and if Wang Shouzhong is done, Huaiyou can calmly face Wang Shouxin in Mizhou and Liu Yansi in Haizhou.

There are still 40,000 Pinglu troops in these two places, and if they refuse to stop the war and accept the reality, it will be another protracted war that Huaiyou will never want to see.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhong is not the kind of rigid and paranoid character, after realizing the reality of his imprisonment and the various things that may occur in the future of Pinglu without his own non-existence, he finally accepted Jiang Feng's suggestion and exchanged the future of the Wang family for a peaceful settlement of Pinglu.

Wang Shouzhong asked Jiang Feng a question at the end, that is, he joined Pinglu and never invaded Haizhou in the south, so how would Huaiyou, who took Xu Yan, treat Pinglu, Jiang Feng's answer was that it might be later, but sooner or later there would be this battle.

This answer made Wang Shouzhong very satisfied, and it seemed that he had let go of his inner entanglement, and he no longer had too much resistance to Huaiyou.

"Wang Guorong and Wang Guohua brothers and their father are not harmonious, this should be an object that can be fought for, his mother died early, and the influence of the family is not good, so the two brothers actually showed signs of marginalization before, and their third brother Wang Guoxi should be the heir of Wang Shouzhong's inner tendency, but now all this has been shattered, and it does not have much impact on Wang Guorong and Wang Guohua brothers. ”

Wang Miao and Zhang Wanshan were discussing how to make use of the contradictions and resources within Pinglu and solve the negative impact that the fall of the behemoth of the Pinglu Army might bring to the entire Pinglu Seven Prefectures as soon as possible.

"Well, our idea is to let Wang Guorong take Wang Shouzhong's letter to Haizhou, and Wang Guoxi take Wang Shouzhong's letter to Mizhou, asking the Pinglu Army to lay down its arms and accept the reorganization. Wang Miao introduced his thoughts in an orderly manner.

"Hmm, the two sons who are not on good terms will go to one side, what will Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi think?" Jiang Feng stroked his chin with interest, leaned on the chair, and his eyes still flowed with a little thinking emotion.

"It's not easy to say now, in the Pinglu Army, Wang Shouzhong is absolutely dictatorial, Liu Yansi is Wang Shouzhong's number one henchman, only loyal to Wang Shouzhong, Wang Shouzhong's sons and even Wang Shouxin have no influence on him, but now that Wang Shouzhong is in our hands, what he will think, it's hard to judge, but with our understanding of Liu Yansi's character, he should consider Wang Shouzhong's life safety, otherwise his loyalty to Wang Shouzhong will become a joke, which may greatly damage his credibility. ”

Zhang Wanshan's thinking is also very clear, he considers the problem carefully and meticulously, and the polishing and training in the past few years has successfully reborn him, and he can look at the problem from a higher and farther perspective.

"Wang Shouxin is a person, we think that the possibility of him being unique is relatively small, it is very likely that he will wait and see in the early stage, contact in the middle term, and finally accept it. His personality determined that he was unlikely to carry the burden of the entire Pinglu army, and his prestige was not enough to command the entire Pinglu army. ”

Jiang Feng agreed with Wang Miao and Zhang Wanshan's analysis and judgment, but the most urgent thing now is to act quickly, and the situation in Xuzhou and Huzhou is tense, and he can't help but feel pressure.

"Since you have decided so, then arrange for people to go immediately. Jiang Feng made a decisive decision, "Wang Shouxin's side, the conditions are as open as he wants, he wants to lead the army, like a rich life, he can do it, but the leader must follow the rules of Huaiyou, we need to explain this to him, and he should also be clear." As for Liu Yansi's side, I think it's a bit troublesome, this guy may not be as you judged, and he will have to come out with a moth. ”

"We have also considered Liu Yansi's side, but we think that as long as Wang Shouxin's side is taken down and Mizhou is stuck, we are not afraid that Liu Yansi will make waves, a Haizhou, and the foundation is not stable. ”

Wang Miao is also very sure that Liu Yansi is definitely more difficult to deal with than Wang Shouxin, but he has an Achilles' heel, that is, he is stationed in Haizhou.

Haizhou originally belonged to the territory of the probation army, but now it is in his hands, and the local gentry do not support him, many gentry are secretly communicating with Xuzhou, Liu Yansi needs to prevent these gentry and salt merchants in Haizhou from rioting at any time.

If Liu Yansi is stationed in Mizhou, then the problem will be troublesome, Mizhou has always been the base of the Pinglu Army, and it can be fought by relying on Mizhou.

So now the top priority is to solve the Mizhou problem, as long as Mizhou is stuck, it will be stuck in a corner of Haizhou, which is surrounded by Huaiyou's territory, and Liu Yansi wants to make trouble, so he can only sit and wait for death.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, with Liu Yansi's loyalty to Wang Shouzhong, the generals do not think that Liu Yansi will resist Wang Shouzhong's order, especially when the situation is not advantageous, this possibility is even smaller.

"Wang Guorong also has an advantage to going to Haizhou, the two have different statuses, and the degree of trust with Wang Shouzhong is not the same, both of them will have their own thoughts, it is impossible to unify them, Wang Guorong cannot trust Liu Yansi, and Liu Yansi cannot put his heart into Wang Guorong, but what about the Ziqing Army under Liu Yansi? The Ziqing Army has not been formed for a long time, they only know that Wang Guorong is Wang Shouzhong's eldest son, which is another unstable factor, so based on the above factors, we judge that Liu Yansi cannot afford to make waves. ”

Zhang Wanshan's analysis made a final conclusion on the arrangement of Mizhou and Haizhou, and even Jiang Feng and Wang Miao were very satisfied with the growth rate of this guy.
