Chapter 335: Undercurrents are surging
In fact, when Chen Xu was in Annan, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, and then he was suddenly sent here.
Then every time Mu Pingshan paid a salary, he had to mention King Han, Chen Xu knew in his heart that it was definitely unreasonable and illegal.
But he couldn't say anything.
Hearing such news at this time, he asked with a little irritation: "Is the news confirmed?" ”
Sun Xiaolao said in a deep voice: "The king of Han opened the sea ban, and a large number of merchants from Guangdong and Fujian came here to run the merchants to receive the goods, the news will not be wrong, the last general estimates that many brothers in the army have heard about it, but no one snorts." ”
Wang Shenbao also said: "The treasures obtained by my brother are sometimes sold to these merchants, and the news will not be wrong, it is spread everywhere outside, and the king of Han is reversed, and the sea is opened." ”
It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to leave the camp, but these generals often had to sell what they had in hand, and now merchants often come to Angkor Thom to receive the goods.
Because the Tonle Sap Lake outside Angkor Thom is connected to the Mekong River and leads to the South China Sea, it is very convenient for merchants to come and go.
Chen Xu asked at this time: "What is the situation outside?" ”
Sun Xiaolao said again: "I heard that the imperial court has lost four consecutive battles in Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Fujian, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and now the king of Han occupies several southwestern provinces and is confronting the imperial court. ”
This is half of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Han is really fierce, Chen Xu sighed secretly, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What do you two think?" ”
Sun Xiaolao hesitated and asked cautiously: "Do you want to gather all the brothers of more than 100 households and talk about this?" ”
Chen Xu sneered: "And then? ”
"Take your brothers and go back to Annam?" Sun Xiaolao asked tentatively.
"Kill your mother." Chen Xu was scolding in his heart, but said on the surface: "I'm afraid that my brother is used to living a good life here, and he doesn't want to do this." ”
Sun Xiaolao and Wang Shenbao looked at each other, Sun Xiaolao scratched his head a little irritably, thinking about it carefully, during this time, the King of Han kept giving money to everyone, and most of the brothers really had no reason to oppose the King of Han.
"King Han is so buying people's hearts, now you say that you want to fight back to Annan, let's see how many people are willing." Chen Xu said helplessly.
"Also, after all, this is a one-sided statement by some businessmen, without the holy decree of the imperial court, can we move troops indiscriminately?" Chen Xu said: "The King of Han is an order issued by a holy decree. ”
Before the King of Han did not rebel at the beginning, the holy decree summoned the generals to make it clear, and Sun Xiaolao and Wang Shenbao were both at the level of commanders and knowledge, and they were also present at that time.
So now they have no reason to gather soldiers and horses to kill back, then they are rebelling.
Sun Xiaolao and Wang Shenbao were silent, and then looked at Chen Xu, obviously feeling that Chen Xu didn't want to do this.
Chen Xu was even more annoyed to listen to the disturbance: "Before the imperial decree comes, we can't act rashly, everything is business as usual, let more people inquire about the news, try to spread these news to the ordinary sergeants, test the thoughts of the brothers, plan and then act, and don't overdo it." ”
After saying that, he glanced at the two of them, and his expression moved slightly: "We are going out on orders, no matter who wins or loses in the future, there will be no major crimes?" ”
"Do you understand?"
Sun Xiaolao and Wang Shenbao glanced at each other, and finally understood what Chen Xu meant.
To put it simply, they should not know, before receiving the imperial decree, concentrate on fighting outside, and at the same time spread the news, see the reaction of the brothers below, if there are many people who support the fight back, they can consider doing this, otherwise, they can only be ignorant.
In the future, if the king of Han wins, he will definitely not treat them badly, and if the court wins, they are not very wrong, they are acting according to orders, and no one dares to mess around without a holy decree.
Wang Shenbao immediately said: "It's okay to have Yunyangbo's words." ”
The implication is that with Yun Yangbo in the way, of course they are not afraid.
If the imperial court wants to investigate, it must first investigate the one with the biggest official.
Chen Xu sighed helplessly: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to, but what can be done, the Zhu family fights for the world, and the gods fight, don't harm us mortals." ”
"What Yun Yangbo said makes sense." At this time, Sun Xiaolao also said: "That's the case, let's all listen to Uncle Yunyang." ”
Chen Xu glanced at them weakly and waved his hand: "It's much easier to fight here, think about it." ”
Sun Xiaolao glanced at Wang Shenbao, and the two hurriedly left.
Chen Xu actually said very clearly, that is, look at the direction of the wind, pretend to be confused, first look at the direction of the wind in the army, there are not many people who are willing to fight back, now I don't know that the King of Han is reversed, and then fight here, because the Angkor Dynasty is easy to fight, if you want to return to China, it is not easy to fight the same Ming army, especially the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, who has won a hundred battles.
Sun Xiaolao and Wang Shenbao left the hall quickly, and after arriving outside, Sun Xiaolao said in a low voice: "Yunyang Bo wants to make two-headed grass, but if the imperial court wins, he will definitely be investigated afterwards, besides, our family members are all in Daming." ”
Wang Shenbao's face changed slightly: "What do you mean, Brother Sun?" ”
"Gather the brothers, turn the king of Han against him, say it, look at everyone, are you willing to kill us back?" Sun Xiaolao actually wanted to do this.
Wang Shenbao said: "Will it be too urgent, Yunyang Bo let us let go of the wind first and test the direction of the wind?" ”
"And the battle here, easy to fight?" Wang Shenbao reminded carefully.
The soldiers and horses of the Angkor Dynasty were vulnerable, so why bother to go back to fight the Ming army? Hit your own people?
Sun Xiaolao shook his head: "Our family members are in China." ”
“。。” When Wang Shenbao heard this, his expression was a little excited.
"And if the King of Han loses, we won't do anything, and if the court wins in the future, we will definitely be unlucky." Sun Xiaolao said.
Wang Shenbao thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to do." ”
"This is easy to do, as long as Mu Pingshan is killed and Chen Xu is held hostage, other generals can only follow."
When Wang Shenbao heard it, it seemed to make sense.
"How?" Wang Shenbao asked.
"Gather more than 100 households, talk about the anti-Han Wang, see how everyone reacts, if most of them are willing to kill back, kill Mu Pingshan first, and then go to Chen Xu and force him to take us back."
"If everyone doesn't react, then think of a way, anyway, I think that as long as you kill Mu Pingshan, you have a good chance of success."
"And a Sun Bo." Wang Shenbao said: "Sun Bo is the real henchman of the King of Han. ”
"Yes, kill that Sun Bo again." Sun Xiaolao said in a deep voice.
Sun Bo is the eldest son of Sun Lin, the commander of Lu Liangwei in Yunnan.
Sun Lin had three sons, and the youngest son, Sun Cheng, was introduced by Cao Long and married the daughter of Zheng Xiang, the chief military officer of Yunnan, and later directly pulled Zheng Xiang into the water and became a person of the King of Han.
His eldest son, Sun Bo, followed Mu Pingshan, and in the army of the Angkor Dynasty, he is now the deputy general (command envoy level) of the Chinese army.
Sun Bo is usually with Mu Pingshan, and he is a real confidant of King Han.
Sun Xiaolao seems to be determined to fight back, after all, this guy is one of the henchmen of the Eight Hundred Yan Mansion raised by King Yan.
But the same Eight Hundred Yanfu henchmen, Ma Yong'er is now very good with Muping Shanguan.
Wang Shenbao said: "That's it, but let's find our own people first." ”
The two are relatively shrewd, one is from Zhejiang and the other is from Shandong.
In the afternoon, the two of them summoned more than 100 households from the two capitals.
Today, King Han just sent money, and everyone was still quite excited, and they were talking about these things again.
Sun Xiaolao listened to it, stretched out his hand and waved: "Silence, brothers." ”
The surroundings gradually fell silent.
Sun Xiaolao looked at these familiar people in front of him, some of them were his confidants, and some of them usually had a good relationship with him.
He thought for a moment and said slowly, "Recently, I heard a message from an overseas businessman. ”
"It is said that the king of Han rebelled and is at war with the imperial court."
There was silence in the "hiss" hall, and everyone looked at each other.
The scene was suddenly quiet and terrifying.
For a full dozen breaths, there was no sound.
"Hahaha." Sun Xiaolao laughed at this time: "I don't know if it's true or not, Lao Tzu suspects that this businessman is deliberately joking with Lao Tzu." ”
There is still no sound in the hall, and the generals will look at me, and I will look at you.
This hour ago, many people took a lot of treasures and wealth in Muping Mountain on the spot, saying that it was sent by the King of Han, and now you are talking to us about the opposite of the King of Han?
Everyone didn't know how to respond.
When Sun Xiaolao saw that there was still no one talking around, he knew that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.
King Han gave everyone a good impression, if everyone didn't like King Han, someone would immediately join him.
Wang Shenbao also knew that it was a little sudden, so he had to smile bitterly: "I don't know if this is true or not, just listen to it, don't spread it everywhere." ”
Only then did the generals nod their heads.
No one spoke from beginning to end, and Sun Xiaolao's face was very ugly, so he had to wave his hand: "Disperse, it's nothing, just ask casually." ”
The crowd dispersed one after another, but there were two henchmen of Sun Xiaolao, both of whom were at the level of thousands of households, and did not leave.
There are also two thousand households and one hundred households, who seem to be Wang Shenbao's henchmen, and they haven't left.
The seven or eight people were in a circle.
Two thousand households in Zhejiang greeted him at this time: "General, this is true, we have also heard the news." ”
“。。” Sun Xiaolao glared at them, did you already know?
"Not only do we know that there was news in the army last month (November), and many brothers know about it."
"But many people say that the king of Han is now giving us more money and three times the salary."
"Brothers below, most of them still support King Han."
The reason is very simple, whoever gives money to whom, the king of Han made three times as much money in the Angkor Dynasty, although it is all robbed wealth, but it is also money.
Special mother, Sun Xiaolao scolded in his heart, he thought that he was well-informed, but he was the last one to know, and he didn't expect that the brothers below would recognize money and people, these bastards.
If you are an ordinary general, you should know that you can't do anything.
But when Sun Xiaolao was in Jingjing, it turned out to be the general banner of Yanwangfu, the descendant of Tie Tie, and Zhu Di.
You must know that in the original history, after the success of Jingnan, in addition to having an extra title, the actual military position, Li Bin was just the commander of the Daning Xingdu, Meng Xiang was just the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu, and Sun Xiaolao's actual position was the commander of the Zhejiang Du.
Li Bin and Meng Xiang have both made great contributions in the Jing Martyrdom, and they are also more famous than Sun Xiaolao, Sun Xiaolao is an unknown person, and the officials are above Li Bin and Meng Xiang, so it can be seen that he is definitely Zhu Di's confidant.
Of course, Sun Xiaolao couldn't control the 300,000 army of Jiaozhi like this.
As a general in charge of the army, he understands too well the huge role of these 300,000 people in Jiaozhi.
If the troops have been standing still, after Zhu Gaochu stabilizes the overall situation and defeats the official army, these 300,000 people will turn around and become Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses.
If you can encourage everyone to raise troops to resist Zhu Gaoxu and enter Yunnan from behind, you will definitely be able to turn things around, turn the tide, and make immortal achievements.
But looking at the situation now, others are unreliable, only the seven or eight henchmen in front of them can be relied on.
