Pang Tong explained: "What you have done during this period of time has been seen by the people in Chengjun City and the surrounding areas, and they feel that there is a good hope for a good life with such a benevolent and righteous lord, so they have come to take refuge one after another. ”

"There is another reason, they are all coming for you, His Royal Highness, and I believe that it will not be long before more people come to take refuge."

Wang Qizhi became worried, and said: "We recruit soldiers privately in southern Xinjiang, and once Wang Sheng'an, the lord of southern Xinjiang, finds out, he will definitely send troops to crusade, although he is incompetent, after all, there are still 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and if we really fight, we will definitely not be able to parry." ”

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, if you give me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets, I will naturally be able to do this well." ”

Wang Qizhi only has more than one million taels of silver in his hand, and he will take out hundreds of thousands of taels at once, if this matter is done well, it will be fine, if it is not done well, he will have to die of distress.

Pang Tong seemed to see Wang Qizhi's thoughts, and he said his plan.

"Lord, this Wang Sheng'an has a close minister by his side, this person's name is Chen Qing, he has won the trust of the lord of southern Xinjiang, but he has a shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for money, as long as he gives him these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, let him speak for us by Wang Sheng'an's side, I believe that this lord of southern Xinjiang will not do anything to us."

Wang Qizhi nodded, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, took out half of them, handed them to Pang Tong, and said, "I'll give you some more silver taels, this matter must be done." ”

Pang Tong took the silver tael, and just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wang Qizhi and said: "Military advisor, it is difficult for us to rely on this small place to achieve the climate, we must take action."

"Once this is done, let's act immediately."

It is said that in a palace in the middle of southern Xinjiang, there is a big fat man sitting on the high throne, about fifty years old, and he is holding a graceful woman on his left and right, this person is Wang Sheng'an, the lord of southern Xinjiang.

Below, on the left and right, stood several rows of officials, on the left were civil ministers, and on the right were military generals in armor.

A tall general in his fifties on the right stood up and arched his hand to Wang Sheng'an on the throne and said:

"Lord, according to the news from the spies, a group of people have recently come to Chengjun City, with more than 20,000 people, and the leader is the prince Wang Zhizhi, who is recruiting new soldiers there, it seems that he is plotting against our southern Xinjiang, I hope that the lord will send troops to eradicate this group of thieves, and by the way, the prince will be arrested, and learn from Wei Meng to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes."

As soon as these words came out, a thin man immediately stood up among the ministers on the left and retorted: "The lord must not. ”

This person is Chen Qing, some time ago Pang Tong personally went to the former's mansion, and after handing over the silver ticket to him, he said his request, and said that if this matter is done, there will be benefits in the future.

This Chen Qing was originally a master who recognized money but not people, and after seeing so much money, he immediately agreed to the matter.

Wang Sheng'an looked at the official and said, "Chen Qing, why can't you tell me?" ”

Chen Ping said solemnly: "Let's not talk about the authenticity of the identity of the king abandoned, let's just say that with their 20,000 horses in such a remote place, they can't set off any storms at all. ”

"Moreover, if that kid is really His Royal Highness the Prince, if the lord sends troops to fight, he will be charged with great disrespect, and he will be caught by the people of the world."

The military general who spoke just now really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "Chen Qing, don't talk nonsense here, how can we in southern Xinjiang let others come here to spread wilderness, in this way, the reputation of the lord will be ruined." ”

Chen Qing sneered and said: "If that king abandons him is really His Royal Highness the prince, in this way, he has the same root and origin as our lord, and this kid will still call our lord grandpa!" You say it's still not an outsider. ”

His eyes changed suddenly, he looked at the military general coldly, and said, "General Huang, if you don't ask the lord for instructions, and send someone to investigate the situation in Chengjun without permission, are you guilty?" ”

General Huang didn't expect this bastard to hit a rake, so angry that he scolded, "You traitorous villain, Southern Xinjiang will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!" ”

Wang Sheng'an was a little angry by General Huang's words, he pushed the two beauties away, and said angrily: "Huang Wenxuan, are you saying that I am a faint master who doesn't know right from wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Wenxuan immediately knelt down, "Lord, I didn't mean that......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shengan hugged the two Meiji again and said, "Let's do this according to Chen Qing's wishes!" I'm tired, Sanchao! ”

Huang Wenxuan stood up in frustration, his heart was full of despair, there was such a mediocre and incompetent lord in southern Xinjiang, and sooner or later it would be over.

Chen Qing came to Huang Wenxuan's side and said mockingly: "General Huang, you can do your own thing, don't come against me, otherwise you won't have your good fruit to eat!" ”

Huang Wenxuan stared at this traitorous minister, if he could, he really wanted to eat this bastard alive.

Huang Wenxuan wrote the content of the court on the letter, sent someone to send it to Pang Tong, and after receiving the letter, he found Wang Qizhi, and shouted before he entered the door:

"Lord, it's done!"

Wang Qizhi took the letter and read it carefully, and said, "It seems that these silver taels are not in vain, and it seems that it is time to take the next step." ”

Pang Tong said: "The lord already has an idea? ”

Wang Qizhi nodded and said, "I want to unify the land east of the county town first, only in this way can we stabilize our foothold and attack the west with confidence."

Although the eastern side occupies a pitiful amount of land, the population is not very large, and the total number of forests is less than one million, this step must be taken, otherwise when they launch an attack, Wang Sheng'an will be very uncomfortable to attack left and right.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "This lord and I thought about it together, but it was just ......"

Wang Qizhi hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

"According to my estimates, there are at least two or three cities on the eastern side, at least four or five hundred thousand people, and there are many towns and cities, and it will take some time to attack them."

Wang Qizhi added: "Not only that, there are at least 20,000 defenders in the southern Xinjiang in the towns in the east, and there are thousands of Jianghu sects to help each other, and if they want to attack it, although it is not full, our side will also lose a lot of people, so we must slow down." ”

One of the more important reasons is that these recruits have just been recruited and have not yet formed combat effectiveness, and it will take at least eight or nine months for them to let them go to war with weapons, so that money will not be able to keep up.

In this regard, Pang Tong gave a suggestion, saying: "As far as I know, there are many thieves nearby, we can send people to attack, and the money obtained can be used as military expenses, and we can also experience these recruits." ”
