Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Lin Rang is going to make trouble.

This was Wei Man's first reaction...

Sure enough, Lin Rang said: "Wu Jingsheng was dissatisfied with Duke Wei. On the one hand, he sent the covenant, and on the other hand, he tried to win over Chen Ji. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, Wu Jingsheng might go to heaven."

Wei Man followed his words: "In your opinion, how to teach him a lesson?"

Lin Rang looked relaxed, and said very calmly: "Wu Jingsheng wants to form an alliance, okay, we will form an alliance with him. Wei Gong will send a letter of alliance to appease Wu Jingsheng, reduce Chuzhou's wariness towards us, and then kill Chuzhou One was caught off guard. I want to see... how can he get married?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yan slapped his palm vigorously and said, "Yes! Good idea!"

Wei Man and Lu Jinyu raised their eyebrows.

Wu Yan took Xiao Lingxiang, comforted her, and led the people away from the shogunate camp, but Wei Man and Lu Jinyu stayed behind.

Wei Man said: "Your trick...wouldn't it be too damaging? Are you sure you just want to disrupt the marriage, not take Wu De's life?"

Lin Rang still looked indifferent, as if he didn't understand what Wei Man was saying.

Lu Jinyu said: "Once our army attacks Chuzhou, Wu Jingsheng has only three options. The first is to fight to the death, the second is to seek peace negotiations, and the third... is to win over Chen Ji."

Wei Man nodded and said: "The first two possibilities, the marriage will be messed up no matter what, and if Wu Jingsheng chooses the third possibility, then according to Chen Ji's narrow-mindedness, Wu Jingsheng will definitely hand over Wu De's head... "

Lin Rang said: "Then it depends... Wu Jingsheng's own choice."

The matter of the alliance document was left to Lu Jinyu to handle. Lu Jinyu's writing was outstanding and talented, and writing an alliance document was perfect. It was simply overkill.

When Lu Jinyu's alliance was written, Wei Man sent someone to send the alliance letter to Chuzhou, and at the same time sent a lot of gold and silver treasures as gifts from the envoy.

Chuzhou, within the government office.

Wu Jingsheng summoned the envoy of Wei Ying, who was none other than the eloquent Mr. Duan Su.

Mr. Duan Su stood in the hall, smiled very submissively and modestly, and said: "My lord specially ordered the villain to send a letter of alliance, and also asked Duke Wu to show his face."

When Wu Jingsheng saw that Wei Man sent someone to send an alliance letter, he immediately felt proud. He only felt that Wei Man was afraid that he would form an alliance with Chen Ji and attack the Wei army together.

Therefore, Wu Jingsheng was not suspicious, on the contrary, he was very complacent, thinking that Wei Man's son was nothing more than that, and now he still has something to ask of himself.

Wu Jingsheng pretended to be very friendly on the surface, but in fact, Mr. Duan Su had already seen through everything.

Mr. Duan Su said respectfully: "My lord was very happy when he received the alliance letter from you, and he asked the villain to send the alliance letter without stopping. In the future, I will form an alliance with Yanzhou, Luzhou, and Chuzhou. Chen Ji, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles!"

Wu Jingsheng was coaxed around by Mr. Duan Su, and said: "Master Wei Ying said too modestly. It is my good fortune to be able to form an alliance with Duke Wei. Master, I have already ordered people to set up a banquet to welcome the master. ah!"

Mr. Duan Su politely declined, saying: "There is no need for that, Mr. Wu is very worried, the villain still has his life in the army, so he has to go back and report the good news to the lord."

Wu Jingsheng was just pretending to be courteous, he didn't even think about hosting a reception banquet for Mr. Duan Su, so he followed him and said: "Even so, the old man can't force it."

Wu Jingsheng stood up and was about to see Mr. Duan Su off. When Mr. Duan Su walked to the door, he asked Wu Jingsheng to stay and leave on his own.

Wu Jingsheng stood at the entrance of the lobby of the government office, with his hands behind his back, watching the back of Mr. Duan Su's leaving, with a controlled smile on his face.

At this moment, suddenly heard the sound of "Treading" footsteps, someone came out from the back of the lobby and stood in front of Wu Jingsheng, wasn't it just Wu De?

Wu De cupped his hands and said, "Master."

Wu Jingsheng smiled and said, "Have you heard that?"

Wu De nodded and said, "I heard."

Wu Jingsheng patted Wu De on the shoulder and said: "Wei Man has already taken the bait, let's just wait to reap the benefits and watch Wei Man and Chen Ji snipe and clam fight! You did a good job this time, a letter of alliance Just stabilized Wei Man, very good, very good!"

"Next..." Wu Jingsheng said with a smile, "You can just prepare for the marriage with peace of mind."

marriage……

When Wu De heard it, his face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Wu Jingsheng wanted to betroth his niece to Wu De, and Wu De agreed, but he still seemed reluctant.

Wu De's face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, arched his hands, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, there is one thing... You also know that the humble general was born in poverty, his family was in decline, and he didn't have much money in his family. Yes... I really can't afford the dowry money, I'm afraid that the Princess will be offended, so..."

Wu Jingsheng seemed to have expected that Wu De would say this a long time ago, waved his hands, and said generously: "It's okay, it's okay! The only thing that matters is your character, what does it have to do with the dowry gift? Besides, what's unique is Money, do you still need this idea of ​​dowry? Although Gu’s niece is not Gu’s own daughter, she is very caring and considerate, even better than her own daughter. You only need to treat her well, and Gu will feel at ease. The rest is nothing. need!"

At the end of Wu Jingsheng's speech, he waved his hand, very boldly.

He had said everything to this point, and Wu De couldn't get entangled any more, otherwise he wouldn't be able to continue messing around in Chuzhou if he didn't give Wu Jing a face.

Wu De arched his hands and said: "Since this is the case... this humble general is not ashamed of his love for the lord."

Wu Jingsheng clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's right. These days, I have been preparing for the marriage with peace of mind. Wei Jun's side has also stopped, and Chen Ji's side has been delaying as much as possible, just waiting for Wei Man and Chen Ji. If the fight continues, we will profit from it."

Wu De reluctantly nodded, and when Wu Jingsheng left, his face was gloomy and ugly, he turned and left the hall of the government office, and went to the house where he was staying.

Wu De went back to the house, and with a sound of "squeak—" he closed the door behind him.

He fell directly on the couch, stretched all over, looked at the roof of the house, and sighed deeply.

He comforted himself in his heart, the princess of Chuzhou is also very good, although he has never met, but he is still a princess after all, I heard that Wu Jingsheng is very precious as this niece, he will definitely not suffer if he marries her...

Thinking of this, Wu De closed his eyes and seemed to fall into sleep.

The moment he closed his eyes, the appearance of Xiao Lingxiang suddenly flashed in Wu De's mind. Xiao Lingxiang was smiling, bouncing and chasing after him, and shouted sweetly: "Uncle! Uncle!"

uncle……

Wu De suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, unfocused, and his pupils were constantly shaking.

He slowly raised his hand, covered his eyes, and sighed deeply...

"My lord! My lord is not good!"

"My lord! Something happened to General Wu De!"

A servant quickly ran into the hall, Wu Jingsheng was reviewing documents, put down his brush, and said, "What's the matter?"

The servant said: "General Wu suddenly fell ill!"

"fall sick?"

Wu Jingsheng was very surprised, and said: "What kind of disease did you have? Have you ever called a doctor?"

The servant replied: "I have invited all the doctors and doctors in the government office, but I can't find out what the disease is."

Wu Jingsheng was even more surprised, and said: "I can't see what kind of disease it is? Is the lonely government office supporting those doctors for nothing? Can't even see a disease? Go, call a doctor for me, and be sure to give it to me before the wedding date." General Wu cured it!"

"Yes, yes! The villain will go now."

The servants responded with a dozen and quickly rushed out of the hall of the government office, ready to go to the doctor.

"Wu De is sick?"

Wei Man personally led the army, and the [-]-strong army had already secretly left for Chuzhou.

At this time, the army was stationed in the wild, and just after setting up the camp, the spies had come to report the details in Chuzhou.

Wei Man was a little surprised, this Wu De suddenly fell ill, and it was still the kind that could not be cured.

Lin Rang smiled faintly and said, "Sick? I think it's a heart attack?"

Wei Man asked people to inquire carefully, but no one knew what kind of disease Wu De had, but he was so weak that he couldn't get up, he was lingering on the sick bed, and he didn't have a fever or a cold.

Lin Rang said: "This is basically looking for a doctor when you are not sick."

Wei Man laughed and said, "It's Wu De who doesn't want to get married?"

He said, unfolding the map on the table, and everyone gathered around to check the terrain of Chuzhou, and prepare for the attack on Chuzhou later, killing them by surprise.

Wu Yan frowned and said: "Duke Wei, my lord, we only brought [-] soldiers and horses out, can we have the effect of shocking Wu Jingsheng? I'm afraid the number is too small?"

The [-] soldiers and horses were all from Lin Rang. Lin Rang was the governor of Luzhou. Anyway, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

This time, Lin Rang deployed troops on his own. Wei Man didn't need to do anything. Wei Man's forces were still concentrated on defending against Chen Ji, in case Chen Ji got wind of it and made another sneak attack.

Wu Yan was a little worried, and said: "I heard that there are [-] troops in Chuzhou City, and the soldiers are strong. We only deployed [-] soldiers and horses. Is it not enough? If we want to besiege the city, I'm afraid..."

It is already a remarkable thing to have an army of [-] these days. Many novels "bragged" that Wu Jingsheng had an army of hundreds of thousands, but it was not the case. Wu Jingsheng only had [-] troops.

But the [-] was considered a heavy force at that time.

The elder brother of Yang Yue, the prefect of Wuhan, has 12 soldiers, which is why Yang Yue is so tough. With the [-] soldiers and horses his elder brother gave him, he is frightened all day long, jumping up and down.

In the same way, Wu Jingsheng's [-] soldiers and horses also deterred one side, making the surroundings dare not move rashly.

Now that they are coming to play Chuzhou, Chuzhou is considered home, but they are away, and they only bring 3 horses, so they can't get any benefits from the right time and place.

But Lu Jinyu said: "Young master, please be safe and don't be impatient, listen to the master to finish speaking."

As Lu Jinyu spoke, she looked at Lin Rang, as if she trusted Lin Rang very much.

When Wei Man saw it, his heart was sour. Lu Jinyu trusted Lin Rang so much, as if he had a plan in his heart, how could he lose the battle.

So he "compared" with Lu Jinyu, and immediately said: "I believe in the governor."

Lin Rang said lightly: "Although Wu Jingsheng has a very high prestige in recent years, if you analyze Chuzhou carefully, you will know that when the [-] soldiers and horses in Chuzhou are attacked by surprise, at most [-] can take the initiative to attack. too much."

Wu Yan said in shock, "Twenty thousand?!"

Lin Rang nodded and said, "How did Wu Jingsheng get Chuzhou?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Wei Man sneered and said, "How can I get it? I still took advantage of Gu's hands."

When Lin Rang was still "alive", everyone gathered together to attack Tong Gao. Wei Man became the leader of the alliance. Zhe directly killed the governor of Chuzhou.

All the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou surrendered to Wei Man in an instant, expanding Wei Man's power.

After that, Tong Gao, who was far away in the capital, heard about this incident. He knew that if Wei Man took control of Chuzhou, it would be very bad for him.

He sent Wu Jingsheng to "take office" in Chuzhou.

In this era, there are many cases where there are magistrates in a state and county, and other forces send magistrates to "replace" them. This is not the case with Xiao Kongming's uncle. Chen Zhonglu also sent other people to take over Luzhou back then.

Wei Man was the leader of the alliance at the time, and Wuxia went to Chuzhou to take up his post, so Tong Gao was given a vacancy.

Tong Gao sent Wu Jingsheng to replace Chuzhou. Wu Jingsheng took advantage of the chaos to come to Chuzhou, took root in Chuzhou, and took control of the entire Chuzhou.

After Tong Gao's rebellion ended, Wu Jingsheng was Tong Gao's "partisan" and was about to be attacked by the crowd, but Wu Jingsheng was a smart man, and immediately spent a lot of money to pay tribute to the little emperor and became a supporter of the royal family.

At that time, the capital was in chaos, and the little emperor was busy cleaning up Tong Gao's remnant party, so if anyone surrendered, the little emperor would just let things go.

Wu Jingsheng was able to survive and still take root in Chuzhou.

Speaking of this, Wei Man felt dissatisfied. Wu Jingsheng was clearly dug out of his own hands, so it was no wonder that they were at odds.

Lin Rang said: "Wu Jingsheng took over Chuzhou, but he is not from Chuzhou himself."

Wei Man nodded and said, "Indeed."

Lin Rang also said: "Chuzhou's 1 troops have their own factions. These heavy soldiers seem to be Chuzhou soldiers and horses, but in fact they don't obey Wu Jingsheng's dispatch. In an emergency, the troops that can be dispatched are no more than [-], in my estimation, more than [-]."

When Wu Yan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "In this way, if we send [-] troops, it will be crushed."

Lin Rang nodded and said, "Correct answer, and as far as I know, the largest faction in Chuzhou is a faction that advocates surrendering to us. Once Wu Jingsheng's status is shaken, taking Chuzhou is just around the corner."

Wei Man said with a smile: "It seems that the time for revenge has come... The princess's marriage will inevitably dispatch a lot of people, and when the time comes, we will kill them by surprise."

Wu De was ill for several days. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, Wu Jingsheng came to see him in person.

Wu Jingsheng walked into the house, Wu De was lying on the couch, and when he saw Wu Jingsheng coming, he immediately struggled to get up, but he fell down on the couch with a loud "Boom!"

Wu Jingsheng remained calm, supported Wu De, and said in his mouth: "What's the matter? Don't get up when you are sick, so you can rest and recuperate."

Wu De's voice was hoarse and extremely weak, and he said, "Thank you...my lord..."

Wu Jingsheng smiled and said, "Thank you for what? We are all a family, so we have to thank you for this little idea?"

"but……"

Wu Jingsheng changed his voice and said, "You need to get better soon, the marriage is coming soon, if you are not well, Gu can only... have someone help you and get you married."

When Wu De heard this, his eyes froze, and he looked at Wu Jingsheng.

Wu Jingsheng's eyes were half-closed, staring at Wu De, and said in a meaningful tone: "Wu De, you are a smart man, otherwise Gu would not have asked you to marry Gu's niece. This is a good thing. In the future A great future is waiting, don't miss out on a good relationship just because of a moment of pride."

He said, and patted the back of Wu De's hand.

As expected, Wu De was not sick, he was just pretending to be ill, but Wu Jingsheng had clearly seen through Wu De, and made it clear that he didn't want him to take advantage of the loopholes.

Wu De is also a smart and insightful person, Wu Jingsheng has said everything to this point, if he refuses to agree, he may cause trouble and burn himself.

Wu De then said: "The lord is here to visit, I am grateful to you, I am afraid that it will be cured soon."

"That's the best."

Wu Jingsheng said with a smile: "Then you can take care of your illness, so I won't bother you if you are alone."

Wu De wanted to send Wu Jingsheng off, but Wu Jingsheng held him down and said, "Don't get up, don't get up, so you can rest and recuperate, we will be a family soon, don't stick to this etiquette."

After Wu Jingsheng visited the sick, Wu De really recovered. If he continued to pretend to be sick, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he could only get better.

The wedding day is approaching day by day, and soon it will be the wedding day.

The scale of the banquet was not small. Although the princess was Wu Jingsheng's niece, Wu Jingsheng attached great importance to it, so the wedding banquet was very grand.

When Wu Jingsheng came to the wedding banquet, a group of people immediately surrounded him to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, lord!"

"Great joy, my lord!"

"Congratulations, General Wu is an outstanding talent, he is indeed the choice of a good Xu, my lord is wise!"

Everyone flattered Wu Jingsheng, and Wu Jingsheng was also very happy. He looked around and said, "Where's Wu De?"

A servant replied, "My lord, General Wu hasn't appeared yet."

"What?" Wu Jingsheng frowned and said, "It's been this hour, and he hasn't shown up yet? Hurry up and find someone, don't let others see the joke, it's so unruly."

Wu De, the bridegroom, never showed up, so Wu Jingsheng ordered someone to look for him.

The servants ran to look for Wu De, while Wu Jingsheng continued to socialize in the banquet hall.

Because this marriage is actually used to determine the camp of Wude, and it is for Wu Jingsheng to hold onto Wude. Although the scale is not small, they are all "internal" participants. In order not to make Wei Man and Chen Jiqi suspicious, Wu Jingsheng did not invite any outsiders.

Wu Jingsheng was surrounded by everyone, flattering him, with a friendly smile on his face, that smile became more and more stiff and unstoppable.

Wu Jingsheng said in a low voice: "Wu De hasn't come yet?"

The servant said: "I have already sent someone to look for it, but I haven't returned yet, please wait a moment, my lord."

"Wait a minute?!" Wu Jingsheng suppressed his anger and said, "Quick, go and capture Ren Gu back immediately!"

"Yes Yes."

Another servant ran out to "catch people", but before he had run two steps, he heard someone shouting: "My lord! My lord!"

The servant who had gone to invite Wu De just now ran back and shouted anxiously: "My lord, General Wu... General Wu..."

Wu Jingsheng was afraid that he would yell "General Wu has escaped from marriage". Wu De is a proficient skill in escaping, and he also has a history of escaping marriage. Can Wu Jingsheng not be afraid?

The servant shouted: "General Wu is injured!"

"What? Injured?"

"On this great day, where did you get hurt?"

"What happened to Wu De?"

The crowd immediately became noisy, and the banquet hall was full of whispers.

Wu Jingsheng said angrily, "What's going on?"

The servant replied, "General Wu was patrolling nearby during the day, and accidentally fell off his horse. He was injured as a result, and his arm was broken. The doctor is bandaging him."

go on patrol? !

Wu De is about to get married and becomes Wu Jingsheng's door-to-door son-in-law, but he still goes on patrol?

Isn't this just looking for something to do!

Patrol is patrolling, and he broke his arm, even looking for trouble when he has nothing to do.

Wu Jingsheng's face was livid with anger, and he said: "Go, find Wu De, it's just an arm injury, it's not a serious problem, the auspicious time is coming soon, don't miss it."

"Yes."

Wu Jingsheng was determined to make Wu De his "own man", so he sent someone to invite him again.

Wu De's arm was injured, and the doctor was bandaging it, when the servant came in and said, "General Wu, my lord, please, the auspicious time is coming soon, please don't miss it."

Wu De smiled wryly, thinking that Wu Jingsheng was also stubborn and blamed himself for breaking his arm instead of his leg.

Wu De's hands were bandaged and fixed, he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."

It can be said that Wu De was finally willing to "show his face", with bruises on his face, wound cloths on his arms, in a mess, even with blood on his robe, he walked out of the crowd.

"Wu De is here..."

"What kind of groom is this?"

"It's too unlucky to get married and see blood."

"How did Wu De make himself look like this? He's about to get married, so why go on patrol?"

"You don't know? I heard that Wude has an old lover who he never forgets, so he is unwilling to marry the princess."

"I've also heard that it's the princess Lingxiang from Luzhou."

"The princess Lingxiang is a well-known beauty, no wonder Wu De looks down on our princess."

Everyone was whispering, the voice became louder and louder, Wu Jingsheng naturally heard it, his face became extremely ugly, if he didn't get married now, wouldn't his niece and daughter be inferior to Princess Luzhou?

Wu Jingsheng is a scholar, and the most important thing for a scholar is face.

Wu Jingsheng smiled and said: "Okay, son-in-law, don't waste the time, the auspicious time is coming soon, hurry up and get ready."

Wu De didn't speak, he pursed his lips and clenched his back teeth, as if he was about to make a decision.

Right at this moment...

"Report--!"

A hurried voice suddenly broke through the sky, "Bang!!", the soldiers broke through the gate of the government office and ran in from outside in a hurry.

Shouting: "My lord! My lord!! Something is wrong!"

"The big thing is bad!"

"Wei Man!"

"Wei Man is calling!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingsheng said in shock, "What?! Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The soldier said "Gudong!", before kneeling on the ground, he fell to the ground in a hurry.

"It's absolutely true! It's absolutely true! Wei Man and the governor of Luzhou personally led the troops and killed them at the gate of the government office!"

There were so many people in the banquet hall, and when they heard the news that Wei Jun had killed them, they were panicked for a while.

"Wei Jun came to kill?"

"Didn't Wei Jun make an alliance with us?"

"Trap! We fell for it!"

"Report--!"

Just when everyone was panicking, another soldier ran over in a hurry, shouting: "My lord! It's not good! The Wei army has surrounded our city and is about to attack it!"

"Report--!"

One after another, urgent reports came: "My lord, counties and counties in Chuzhou have heard that the Wei army is coming, and they want to surrender!"

"Report--!"

"Wei's army of 3 horses has already lined up, and it's time to attack the city!!"

"What should I do, my lord!"

"My lord, think of a way!"

"Wei army has [-] soldiers and horses, we can't organize so many!?"

"It's over now!"

"It's over..."

Wu Jingsheng thought that everything was under his control, but it suddenly collapsed, fell apart, and turned into nothing in an instant.

He was getting old, and he heard the sound of "reporting——" in his ears, and people whispering "it's over, it's over", and suddenly there was a sound of "嗡——" in his mind.

"Master?!"

"My lord, what's wrong with you!"

"My lord fell down! Call the doctor!"

"Doctor—"

Wu Jingsheng didn't say a word, he suddenly lost his balance, fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

Everyone rushed to catch Wu Jingsheng, and hurriedly called the doctor to check.

Wu Jingsheng was already a little older, but he was "frightened" into a serious illness, and his whole body was chaotic and devastated.

Wu Jingsheng has two sons, the eldest son was planning to inherit Wu Jingsheng's mantle, logically speaking, the eldest son is like a father, but Wu Jingsheng suddenly failed, the eldest son must control the overall situation and fight against the Wei army.

However, when Wu Jingsheng got older, he believed in Pillow Feng'er, so he began to dote on his second son again. In order to save his life, the eldest son kept a low profile these years.

The youngest son has always advocated surrender and is afraid of Wei Man, so he can't accept the big responsibility at this time.

Wu Jingsheng was in a daze, looking at the chaos around him, he waved and said, "Wu De...Wu De..."

Wu De hurried to Wu Jingsheng's sick bed, and knelt down very respectfully.

Wu Jingsheng was extremely weak, and sometimes he couldn't speak clearly, saying: "You and...you and Wei Man have some old friendships...you must...you must stabilize Chuzhou!"

Wu Jingsheng actually temporarily handed over Chuzhou to Wu De, this reaction surprised everyone.

In fact, there is a reason why Wu Jingsheng did this. Although he has two sons, the eldest son is away from home. The second son has no ability, is cowardly by nature, and is a faction that advocates peace. , will immediately surrender and lose the initiative.

Wu Jingsheng also acted helplessly.

Wu De was ecstatic, but crying with grief on his face, he said: "My lord! How can such a heavy responsibility fall on Wu De's shoulders, Wu De has no virtue and incompetence, and really can't take on the heavy responsibility!"

Wu Jingsheng just waved his hands, said everything, and fell into a coma in an instant.

It can be said that Wu De was crying, and at the same time, Wu Jingsheng's second son was naturally crying.

The right to be in charge of Chuzhou was taken away by an outsider, would he be willing?

Wu Jingsheng's son was very unconvinced, pointed at Wu De's nose, and said, "What are you? You are just a son-in-law who comes to the door, a dog of my Wu family!"

Wu Jingsheng had already passed out, Wu De stood up slowly, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were still flushed, but his eyes were abnormally cold, and he glanced at Wu Jingsheng's second son lightly.

Wu De's voice was low, and he was completely different from the one who cried bitterly just now. He said very majesticly: "My lord is in danger and has been ordered. At this time, Chuzhou will be handed over to my future management. I have my own lord's intention. Although this general is stupid, he can't do it." Live up to the painstaking efforts of the lord, if there is any dissatisfaction, take it down immediately, and after the lord wakes up, please let the lord personally send it down."

Wu Jingsheng temporarily handed over Chuzhou to Wu De, which was obvious to all, and the seal was already in Wu De's hands, so no one dared to be stubborn.

Besides, now that Wei Man's army is approaching the city, who wants to take this muddy water?

Wu Jingsheng's second son didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, and stared at Wu De unwillingly.

Wu De said loudly: "At present, the enemy cannot take care of the children's personal relationship. The family and the country should be the most important thing. Today's marriage is forgot."

When he said this, everyone started whispering again. As soon as Wu Jingsheng fell into a coma, Wu De gave up on the marriage. Before that, he had no money, was sick, and was injured. It seems that he made up his mind from the beginning and didn't want to succeed This marriage.

Wu Jingsheng's second son was not convinced, and said: "Since you are in charge of Chuzhou for the time being, what should you do now that Wei Manbing is approaching the city?!"

Wu De narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry... I have my own way."

Wei Ying.

Outside the city of the Chuzhou government office, Wei Man ordered the army to camp.

The counselor Yuan You hurried over and said, "My lord, there is someone in Chuzhou asking to see you."

Wei Man said, "Oh? Who is it?"

Yuan You seemed a little hesitant, glanced at Princess Lingxiang who was squatting on the side, playing with Xiaoman, and said, "It's... Wude."

Sure enough, Xiao Lingxiang raised her head instantly and looked at Yuan You.

Lin Rang was on the side. Hearing the voice, he also looked over.

It was Lin Rang's intention to attack Chuzhou this time and bring Xiao Lingxiang with him.

Lin Rang is going to ask Xiao Lingxiang to "kick the hall" in person, avenge those who have vengeance, and hold grievances for those who have grievances.

Wei Man frowned and said, "Wu De? He still dares to come?"

Yuan You said, "They said they came to negotiate peace."

Lin Rang said: "How many people did Wu De bring?"

Yuan You replied, "I didn't bring anyone with me, I came here alone."

Wei Man laughed, and said: "This Wude is still the same as usual, it looks respectful, but in fact it is extremely rampant! Well... If I don't see him alone, I seem to be frightened by him, invite him to the shogunate .”

"Yes."

Wu De was led to the tent of the shogunate, and instead of sitting down, he stood respectfully.

"Whoa-"

The curtains of the camp tent were pulled up. Wei Man was dressed in black armor and a scarlet blood velvet cloak, with his hand resting on the sword at his waist. He walked in from the outside with long strides, followed by Lin Rang in a long robe.

Wu De hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Duke Wei, governor of Luzhou."

As he was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped, because there were people behind these two people who followed him into the room.

The man was petite, not tall, and extremely slender. His face was like a peach and plum, his complexion was fair, and he had big black and bright eyes.

It is Xiaolingxiang!

Xiao Lingxiang walked in with him, Wu De's voice was obviously cut off, then he cupped his hands, still respectfully saluted, and said: "Princess."

Lin Rang brought Xiao Lingxiang with him on purpose, and when Xiao Lingxiang saw Wu De's arm being hit by the wound cloth, he immediately jumped on it anxiously.

It's just that before she could speak, Lin Rang "caught" her and dragged her over to sit down.

Wei Man smiled, with a not-so-sincere smile, and said: "I heard that General Wu is sick, why? When I saw him now, he was not sick, but injured instead? On this wedding day, both sick and injured Yes, it's a bit unlucky."

Wu De rolled his eyes, glanced at Xiao Lingxiang indiscriminately, and immediately said modestly: "Wei Gong doesn't know, this marriage...in fact, it has been done long ago."

When Xiao Lingxiang heard Wu De's words, she immediately became happy, and tugged Lin Rang's sleeve vigorously.

Lin Rang glanced at Xiao Lingxiang blankly, thinking that Xiao Lingxiang is too easy to coax, with a word from Wu De, how can he make her happy?

Is Leng more comfortable than coaxing Wei Man himself?

Wei Man was glanced at by Lin Rang for no reason, and he always felt that Lin Rang's eyes...

Weird.

Lin Rang "pressed" Xiao Lingxiang, and said flatly: "Whether you are married or not, that is the general's private matter, and we are not good to discuss it."

Seeing that Lin Rang didn't accept the edict, Wu De had to laugh dryly.

Lin Rang said again: "General Wu's complexion is not good, I'm afraid he's still sick, do you need the governor to take your pulse and find out the root of the disease?"

Wu De said: "I don't dare to bother the governor... In fact, Wu De's disturbing today is as an envoy from Chuzhou to negotiate peace with Duke Wei and the governor."

"Talk about peace?"

Wei Man smiled coldly and said: "Chuzhou has no sincerity. On the one hand, it is allied with Gu, and on the other hand, it shows favor to Chen Ji. It is so double-faced and treacherous. What is there to talk about? The words that come out of your mouths , what else is there to believe?"

Wu De said sincerely: "Yes, what Duke Wei said is true, we are wrong."

Wu De's attitude is 120 points good, he immediately admitted his mistake, and said: "But now the overall situation is at hand, Chen Ji is full of ambitions, and Wei Gong shares the worries of the people and saves the world, so it is not surprising how can he put his mind on me What about the villain?"

Hearing his compliment, Wei Man sneered again, and said: "Wu De, I haven't seen you for a few days, your eloquence has become even sharper."

Wu De said: "The villain is just discussing the matter. It is true... On the one hand, Chuzhou formed an alliance with Wei Gong, and on the other hand, it is not right for us to show goodwill to Chen Ji, but please Wei Gongnian. For the sake of letting Chuzhou go, the villain will reveal to Duke Wei today that Chuzhou has absolutely no intention of forming an alliance with Chen Ji, it's just a prevarication."

"Prevarication, prevarication."

Lin Rang opened his mouth suddenly, and even chuckled lightly. This laughter made Wu De's heart tense, and he felt that Lin Rang was about to attack.

Lin Rang said indifferently: "General Yu Wu, everything is prevarication. Taking refuge in Chen Ji is a prevarication that cannot save his life, and defecting to Chuzhou is also a prevarication to plan his future. As for... agreeing to the marriage of Princess Lingxiang, it is also prevarication."

When he said this, Wu De felt a "thud" in his heart, and immediately looked at Xiao Lingxiang.

Just now Xiao Lingxiang was happy because Wu De did not marry the Princess of Chuzhou, but because of Lin Rang's words, her complexion suddenly changed, and she looked at Wu De less warmly.

It can be said that Lin Rang was right in his words, with an arrow piercing his heart, Wu De's careful thoughts immediately had nowhere to hide.

Wu De's eyes shook, and he said: "Wei Gong and the governor are both discerning people, so Wu De is bold and does not speak dark words in front of wise people. Now Wei Gong's crusade against Yanzhou is the most important moment. It's true that Chuzhou shouldn't do it. Now the governor of Chuzhou is seriously ill and unconscious, and the power has been handed over to me. I can guarantee that as long as...the governor of Chuzhou stays awake for a day, Chuzhou will not be Wei for a day. The enemies of the Lord and the governor will not hinder the two plans to crusade against Yanzhou..."

"Furthermore."

Wu De paused, and continued: "Duke Wei sent [-] troops, it is true that Chuzhou can be swept away, but there are so many counties in Chuzhou, and Duke Wei wants to swallow it in one gulp. It would be easy on weekdays, but what happened? When fighting against Chen Jizhi, Duke Wei doesn't want to fight at the front and rebel at the back, does he?"

Wu De said, raised his hand, and said: "Wu De can swear to the sky, as long as Wei Gong let Chuzhou go, Chuzhou will abide by the rules and never go back on his word."

Wu De played both soft and hard, and I have to say that he still has some courage, and he even said some "hard words" in front of Wei Man.

But Wu De was right.

Although Lin Rang's [-] troops are enough to defeat Chuzhou, but Chuzhou's actual troops are [-]. The suppression will be suppressed for a while, and there will be various follow-up tasks, including factions, people, etc., all need to invest energy.

Right now is definitely not the time to be tough with Chuzhou.

Wei Man stared at Wu De, squinted his eyes, did not speak for a long time, then took the table, stood up, and said: "Wu De, you are very talented, and you are also a little clever, but I hope your cleverness will not ruin yourself... …to stand against the camp.”

As he said, he patted Wu De on the shoulder.

Hearing Wei Man's words, Wu De immediately raised his head to look at Wei Man with joy in his eyes.
