Zhu Nao

Even if Wu Cong was killed, he would never have imagined that Zhu Nao's name would be written on this edict.He suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes hard three times, and then looked hard three times.But no matter how he looked at it, the word "Junao" was clearly written on the silk paper, and it couldn't be faked at all.

Wu Cong felt dizzy.

——Could it be that everyone in the capital is crazy?What was the reason for appointing a rebel as Chengdu Yin? !It's like someone stole an ingot of gold from a rich man's house, and it's fine if the rich man doesn't arrest and beat him, but he hands over the whole house, how can such a thing happen in the world? ?

Wu Cong raised his head to look at Xie Wuji, Xie Wuji was not surprised, he said calmly: "Those eunuchs are smart."

Wu Cong was even more shocked.Seeing Xie Wuji's reaction, he actually understood what was going on?

He hurriedly asked: "General, how could the imperial court allow Zhu Nao, a traitor, to be the Yin of Chengdu?!"

"A traitor?" Xie Wuji looked up at him, "Do you think I'm a traitor?"

Wu Cong was startled, and said in disbelief: "How could the general be a traitor? General..."

He was talking, but he was stunned.

The nominal rebels are actually only those rebels who rose up against the imperial court.But the current situation in the world is so complicated, how can "positive" or "negative" be able to speak clearly?Now the eunuchs are in power in the imperial court, and the reason why they let go of their military power is because they don't trust the garrisons that originally belonged to General He Da.They allowed local recruits to attack the original military establishment.

The rebel army is the enemy of the court, but the enemy of the court is not only the rebel army.Perhaps for the imperial court, Xie Wuji, who is currently suppressing the rebels in the north, is a greater threat to them than the rebels themselves.

This world is already a pool of muddy water, with various forces mixed together, who is the enemy and who is the friend? ——Anyone can be an enemy, and anyone can be a friend.At this time, it would be naive and outdated to talk about people as "anti-thieves".

Wu Cong's heart turned a thousand times, feeling ashamed, but saw Xie Wuji walking back to the map and pointing at the map.

Wu Cong took a closer look and saw that the place Xie Wuji was pointing at was Qianzhou.Xie Wuji said: "A few months ago, Xue Baohui brought Liu Buxing's thousands of soldiers stationed near Xiushan into Qianzhou."

After Wu Cong heard the news, he quickly answered, "They want to unite to attack Zhu Nao and occupy Chengdu Mansion."

Xie Wuji nodded: "But they haven't seen anything yet. Liu Buxing has always been indecisive, and he must be waiting to see how the situation changes. Xue Baohui has always been pretentious. I'm afraid he has already taken the initiative to ask the court to provoke Liu Buxing to send troops. "

Wu Cong was taken aback again.

Both Xue Baohui and Liu Buxing are descendants of aristocratic families, especially the Xue family and the Xie family are related by marriage.Even though Xie Wuji had never seen them, he had heard about their deeds, so he had some understanding of their temperament.

"Xue Baohui took the initiative to ask the imperial court for orders?" Wu Cong thoughtfully, "Please order to attack Zhu Nao? Please order to become Chengdu Yin? But those eunuchs handed over the position of Chengdu Yin to Zhu Nao..."

Wu Cong suddenly understood, made a fist with one hand, and tapped the palm of the other hand: "I heard that Zhu Nao was born as a businessman, and made a lot of money after he took charge of the Chengdu Mansion! He must have sent people to spend a lot of money to curry favor with the eunuch, the eunuch He will be given the appointment!"

"Junao flattering the eunuch?" Xie Wuji chuckled unexpectedly, "I'm afraid the eunuch is flattering Zhu Nao."

Wu Cong widened his eyes again.The eunuch currying favor with Junao?Where did this come from? !

Xie Wuji said: "If Xue Baohui, Liu Buxing and Zhu Nao fight, who do you think will win?"

This time Wu Cong didn't hesitate much, after thinking for a while, he replied firmly: "Junao will win."

Although Liu Buxing has led troops for many years, he has never fought a war at all.Not to mention Xue Baohui, he is a civil servant.Fighting involves all aspects, and it is not simply that whoever has the strongest soldiers and horses will win.

That is to say, Liu Buxing thought how powerful he was because he had led troops for a long time.In fact, in the eyes of Xie Wuji and Wu Cong, there was no difference between his soldiers and those newly recruited by Zhu Nao.In other respects, Zhu Nao has already far surpassed Liu Buxing.

Xie Wuji said "Yes", obviously he also agreed with what Wu Cong said, if the two sides fight, the winner must be Zhu Nao.

He pointed to Qianzhou again, and then to Chengdu: "The dispute between the two parties is imminent. Knowing that Zhu Nao will win, why didn't the court follow suit and ask for this favor?"

Wu Cong let out an "ah", and finally enlightened.

The land of Shu has always been a land of abundance, so you can retreat to a quiet corner, and if you can stop a few fortresses leaving Shu, you can enter and spy on the Central Plains.Neither population nor strength should be underestimated.Moreover, the land of Shu is far away from the capital, so the so-called long distance and close attack, at least in a few years, it is impossible for the land of Shu to make an attempt on the capital, and it will not cause any danger to the capital.On the contrary, although the capital looks peaceful at the moment, it is already in danger.The emperor passed away, the new emperor came to the throne, and the ruler of the country was doubtful, and it was a time of turmoil.The imperial court is not sure when they are expected to be rescued by the land of Shu.

That being the case, the imperial court will inevitably try every means to win over the rulers in Shu.

In the half a year when Zhu Nao usurped power, the imperial court did not take any action, and it is estimated that it was just watching the changes.Now that the battle between Xue Baohui and Zhu Nao was on the verge of breaking out, the court did not choose to wait and see, but made its own choice. Firstly, they, like Xie Wuji, saw that Zhu Nao had a greater chance of winning; secondly, this This is an excellent opportunity for the imperial court. If this opportunity is missed, when Zhu Nao himself has established a firm foothold in Sichuan, if the imperial court tries to win him over again, they may not find a place to start.

Because of this, Xie Wuji said that it was not Jun Nao who was fawning on the court, but on the contrary, it was the group of eunuchs who were fawning on Jun Nao.

I just feel sorry for the fans of Xue Baohui and Liu Buxing, thinking that this is still the time when family and connections were used to judge the outcome, but they don't know that the current situation has already become the time when the world is determined by strength.

Wu Cong finally sorted out everything clearly, and his heart was full of emotion.He couldn't help but think about Xie Wuji Tu Xue's family a few months ago.

It seems that the day has really changed.It's just getting too fast, and some people are destined to be unable to keep up...

After a while, Wu Cong asked, "General, shall we let the court's guard of honor enter Shu?" This question depends on whether it will be beneficial or harmful for them to have Zhu Nao as Chengdu Yin.Wu Cong couldn't make such a judgment, so Xie Wuji could only make it.

Xie Wuji didn't answer, and stretched out his hand to draw a line slowly on the map.Wu Cong took a closer look, and saw that his finger was rowing from Jiangling to Jingzhao Mansion.

Central Shu is a land of four fortresses. Historically, if the regime in Central Shu wants to get out of Shu, there are two options: one is to march southeast through Jiangling Mansion to compete for the south of the Yangtze River; the other is to go north through Jingzhao Mansion to compete for the Central Plains.If both Jiangling and Jingzhao Mansion can't take it down, then the regime in central Sichuan can only honestly live in central Sichuan for the elderly.

But now that Xie Wuji is in Yanzhou, he has basically pacified the area around Hezhong Mansion, and according to the plan, he will enter Jingzhao Mansion in a few months.However, due to the fall of Jinzhou, his original plan was delayed.He had to slow down and repair, first stabilize the place where he laid down, and then consider continuing to use troops.

But no matter what, as long as Zhu Nao has the intention to go north, they will fight in Jingzhao Mansion sooner or later.It can be as short as a year and a half, and as long as three to five years.

Xie Wuji said indifferently: "I will have a battle with him."

Wu Cong immediately said: "Then I will send an order now to destroy this edict and kill the honor guards from Beijing."

Xie Wuji said, "No need, let's send them away."

Wu Cong was stunned.send them away?Didn't it say that Zhu Nao is an enemy rather than a friend?

Xie Wuji said: "After intercepting this edict, he can still pacify Shuzhong. There is no need to do such useless things."

Noon is smart.Zhu Nao's acquisition of Shu was already a matter of determination, and this imperial edict was nothing more than a favor that the imperial court took the opportunity to ask for.Since the imperial edict passed on their territory, they can also take this opportunity to earn a favor.Even if there must be a war in the future, it will be in the future. Before they become hostile, they may still have the opportunity to do some business and cooperation.

Wu Cong hurriedly said: "Then I will order someone to prepare some gifts and escort the imperial court's troops into Shu."

Xie Wuji did not object, but agreed.Wu Cong hurriedly prepared to go.
