Zhu Nao

Shu military camp.

Xie Wuji walked into the military tent, and Zhu Nao was sitting inside watching the account.

Xie Wuji said: "I have gone down as you said."

Zhu Nao nodded and said, "Okay."

Recently Zhu Nao asked Xie Wuji to do a few things, one is to issue a notice to the army, saying that it is suspected that some soldiers violated military discipline and provoked other army soldiers without authorization, causing disputes.He ordered those who violated military discipline to voluntarily surrender to the chief, and to report to the chief in a timely manner if anyone knew or found suspicious situations.

In fact, Xie Wuji knew that it was someone sent by Xie Wuchen to do the trick, but he pretended not to know, and issued this notice, seemingly looking for the "murderer", but also reminding the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance and vigilance.

Second, Xie Wuji informed the soldiers to prepare for moving the camp.In fact, the reason for moving the camp is because their current camp is in a depression, and once it rains, water often accumulates, so it is better to move to a high ground.But in the eyes of those who are interested, this may be the evidence that Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao are at odds.

Xie Wuji sat down opposite Zhu Nao, and said, "What are your plans?"

Although he didn't intend to take the initiative to trouble Xie Wuchen, what Zhu Nao asked him to do was just some simple things, and it didn't matter if he cooperated.And he was really curious about what Junao wanted to do.

"It's nothing." Zhu Nao put down the account book, and said slowly, "I sent someone to send a message to your seventh brother, saying that you are short of money and food."

Xie Wuji frowned.To be honest, his lack of money and food should not be a secret. Most of the princes in the north who recruited a lot of soldiers also faced this problem.Does Zhu Nao still need to tell Xie Wuchen?

He asked, "And then?"

"Then," Zhu Nao said slowly, "just wait and see if your seventh brother will take the initiative to send you money and food."

Xie Wuji: "..."

He thought Jun Nao was joking, but unexpectedly Jun Nao looked serious and didn't mean to be joking.

"Did you send a wizard to cast a Gu on him?" Xie Wuji asked.

"Haha," Zhu Nao laughed, "it's rare to hear General Xie making a joke."

Xie Wuji: "..." Who is joking?

He was speechless for a while, not knowing what Zhu Nao wanted to do.One must know that Xie Wuchen hated him to the bone, so it would be good if he didn't try his best to trap him, and even gave him money and food?Could it be that you lost your mind and went crazy?

He thought and knew that maybe Zhu Nao thought of some way to fool Xie Wuchen, although he didn't know exactly how Zhu Nao fooled him, but he didn't think that Zhu Nao could succeed.He said: "Xie Wuchen is not that stupid."

Zhu Nao said, "How many fools are there in the world?"

Xie Wuji was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of his words.

Zhu Nao said leisurely: "If a person has obsession, it is easy to be blinded by one leaf. It's not that they can't understand, nor can they think clearly, it's just that they don't want to see clearly, don't want to think clearly. Just believe what you want to believe."

Xie Wuji frowned slightly.When Jun Nao said this, he kept looking at him gently.It made him feel that Zhu Nao's words seemed to have other meanings.It's like telling him.

In fact, there is some truth to this statement.Not to mention the distance, but the nearness. When Liu Song issued the King Qin Order, he might not have thought that the princes of the world would not accept his arrangement and would attack each other.No one around him may have reminded him.But he hoped that the princes of the world would suddenly forget their bodies like a bodhisattva descending from the mortal world, and cut their flesh to feed him. I am afraid that he also found countless reasons to convince himself that this kind of thing would happen, so he came up with this ridiculous alliance of kings.

However, this principle is always very clear to others, but few people are willing to apply it to themselves.Otherwise, there would be no obsession in the world.

Xie Wuji stared at Zhu Nao silently for a moment, then suddenly said: "What about you?"

Junao raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Xie Wuji said: "Have you ever been blinded by a leaf?"

Junao squinted his eyes, but didn't speak immediately.Just when Xie Wuji was whetted by him and wanted to hear what he would say, he heard Zhu Nao say: "I can't tell you."

Xie Wuji: "..."

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Then I'll wait to see if Xie Qi will fall for your tricks."

=====

Jiangning Barracks.

"What? You want to help Xie Wuji?!" Liu Jingfeng was drinking tea, and almost spit out the tea when he heard this.

Xie Wuchen frowned, with a hesitant expression: "I haven't decided yet."

Liu Jingfeng: "..."

Just an hour ago, Xie Wuchen summoned Gao Wen.Ask him about the Shu Army and the Yanzhou Army.

At the beginning, Gao Wen was not very willing to say it, but he had already received Xie Wuchen's gold ingot before, and there was no way to turn back.If he dared to refuse, Xie Wuchen would sue Zhu Nao, and Gao Wen would have to walk around.And if he cooperates honestly, Xie Wuchen will reward him generously.After all, Gao Wen is a greedy person for money and profit, after Xie Wuchen's beating, he obediently obeyed.

According to Gao Wen, the reason why Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji were able to form an alliance is because they have common interests in Guanzhong, and only the two sides work together to carve up Guanzhong.However, this time to King Qin of the Central Plains, the two sides have already gone in opposite directions.Xie Wuji wanted to make some achievements, but Zhu Nao didn't want him to achieve something, because once the Yanzhou Army left Guanzhong, Shu merchants would be driven out of Guanzhong by Jingzhao Mansion.

Not only that, in recent days there have been frequent conflicts between the soldiers of the two armies for unknown reasons. The Yanzhou army has repeatedly provoked the soldiers of the Shu army, and even killed them.Xie Wuji refused to hand over the murderer for a long time, so the relationship between the two armies became more tense.And the reason why the two haven't turned their backs, for Zhu Nao, is because there are no strong soldiers and generals in Shu, and he still hopes to use Xie Wuji's power in the future; for Xie Wuji, it is because his army is short of food, grass and military pay , he still needs the assistance of the Shu people.

Gao Wen said that the spies of the Shu army had found out that Xie Wuji had been secretly investigating the terrain around the capital and the situation in the capital. If it wasn't for the fear that there would not be enough logistics supplies after entering Beijing, Xie Wuji might have left the Shu people long ago and ignored the situation. The other princes went to the capital by themselves.

Then, if anyone is willing to provide logistics supplies to the Yanzhou Army at this time, Xie Wuji will probably take the initiative to break with the Shu people and directly send troops to suppress the bandits; Furious, and at the same time, he will try his best to hinder Xie Wuji.

In other words, if Xie Wuchen used the banner of the Xie family to aid Xie Wuji at this time, then his goal of alienating the Shu army and the Yanzhou army would be easily achieved.Regardless of the small number of the Shu army, they have been in contact with the Yanzhou army for a long time, and they have many secrets of the Yanzhou army in their hands.Moreover, with the support of Jiangning Mansion, Xie Wuji is likely to send troops directly to suppress the bandits.Once he does this, the time for him to suffer is still to come!

Although this approach seems to be to provide benefits to Xie Wuji, it is undoubtedly a "praise and kill".

After listening to Xie Wuchen, Liu Jingfeng was speechless for a while, and said: "Why do I feel that something is wrong? Could it be that they knew your purpose, so they specially arranged for someone to dig a hole for you?"

Xie Wuchen frowned again.

To be honest, it's not like he didn't doubt this possibility, but he didn't think it was very likely—how could the Shu people know what he was thinking?Moreover, it was he who designed to coerce Gao Wen, and it was not Gao Wen who offered advice to him. How could the people of Shu even foresee this?

Moreover, it was not Gao Wen's idea to use the method of aiding Xie Wuji to kill Xie Wuji.During the entire conversation, he extracted the words from Gao Wen's mouth sentence by sentence, and he came up with this idea himself based on the information he obtained from Gao Wen.If this could also be the hole Gao Wen dug for him, how deep is this man's city?

Liu Jingfeng hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head slightly and said, "You should think about it again."

Xie Wuchen nodded: "Well. I haven't made a decision, I just came to discuss with you first... that's all, I'll think about it."

=====

The League of Kings of Qin was held again, and Liu Jingfeng was tired of seeing a bunch of old people who were hypocritical and submissive, so this time it was no longer Liu Jingfeng, but Xie Wuchen, who represented the Jiang Ning Army.

Xie Wuchen brought people to the meeting place, coincidentally Wu Cong also came not far away, the two faced each other, both startled.

Due to the large and complex forces of the Qinwang Huimeng, in order to prevent outsiders from mixing in, the envoys of each government must wear the military uniforms of each army and wear waist badges.Therefore, the two recognized each other's identity at a glance - for Wu Cong, even if he only looked at Xie Wuchen's face, he could guess Xie Wuchen's identity.

Wu Cong bowed respectfully to Xie Wuchen: "Mr. Xie."

Xie Wuchen stopped and looked Wu Cong up and down: "Young Master Wu, I have admired you for a long time."

In fact, only in terms of positions, both of them hold the post of chief historian in the army, regardless of superiority or inferiority.However, Xie Wuchen is a child of the Xie family, so he is naturally higher than others.The Wu family is also a wealthy clan from Jiangnan, but it is far less prominent than the Xie family.

Wu Cong hurriedly said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your kind words."

Xie Wuchen was going to leave, but he remembered something, and said with a light smile, "Mr. Wu, please take care of my sister-in-law. Long time no see, I miss him very much." When he said this, his face was smiling, but his eyes were completely untouched. No temperature.

Wu Cong hurriedly said, "Yes."

Xie Wuchen didn't say any more, and the moment he turned around, he stopped smiling and walked straight in.

……

Before Xie Wuchen came here, he had heard Liu Jingfeng complain that the so-called Qinwang alliance is like watching a group of hozens and skunks mating, they all look ugly.Onlookers may find it novel and quite interesting at first glance.But after watching it for a long time, there is only a disgusting nausea left.

In the alliance, there is still a scene of mutual criticism.However, it was different from before. In the beginning, the envoys from various governments were personable, quoted scriptures, and spoke righteously.Later, people found that talking around their tongues was too tiring, and it gradually turned into a situation of slapping each other and cursing each other, which was much more refreshing than before.Sometimes when someone loses his temper, he still wants to do something, but he is pulled away by the crowd.

All the envoys spoke one by one, and when it was Wei Yue's turn, he looked around the audience and said with a sneer, "Everyone here, when it comes to wealth, one is richer than the other. But when it comes to incompetence, one is more incompetent than the other! Let me say , don’t be kings anymore, go back to each family to farm as soon as possible!”

These words offended everyone, and naturally aroused the anger of the crowd.The envoys from all the prefectures immediately mobilized and attacked.

Wei Yue didn't hesitate at all, and fought against ten with one: "Where am I wrong? You have been arguing for a month for the order of formation, and each of you feels that you have suffered a huge loss! But did you put the Yanzhou Army, And the Jiangling Army pushed them to take the lead, isn't that the biggest injustice? Let me tell you, each army sends out a thousand individuals to charge up together, that's fucking fair!"

Someone immediately retorted: "The army is huge and complex, how to command and how to cooperate? You should stop talking nonsense there. Let the Yanzhou Army and Jiangling Army take the lead because they are good at fighting! They didn't say anything, it's your turn to point fingers ?”

"That's right, what are you, where is it your turn to talk?"

The scene became chaotic again, Xie Wuchen sat in the crowd and frowned slightly.

He secretly observed Wu Cong, and by the way, also glanced at Huang Dongxuan.These two people really didn't complain about the obviously unfair arrangement, but it was the envoy of the Shu army who complained for them.Obviously, the Shu army is unwilling to let the Yanzhou army rush to the forefront.

As expected, what Gao Wen said, Xie Wuji wanted to make a big splash in King Qin, but the Shu army was very afraid of it.

Xie Wuchen thought about it, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

……

Liu Jingfeng was playing chess with himself bored in the room, when suddenly he heard someone shouting outside: "Lieutenant Liu, Xie Changshi is back!"

Liu Jingfeng hurriedly put down the chess pieces and went out to meet them.

Xie Wuchen walked in in a hurry, and when he saw his subordinates, he ordered: "Go and count, how much money and food we have left when we came out this time."

The subordinates took the order and hurried to go.

This time when the Jiangning army went northward, although they did not bring many troops, they brought a lot of money.Liu Jingfeng, Xie Wuji and some descendants of aristocratic families took this opportunity to travel around the mountains and rivers, and collect rare treasures by the way, so the Jiangning army is indeed very rich.

Liu Jingfeng asked: "Why do you want to count all of a sudden?"

Xie Wuchen was noncommittal, walked into the house, and Liu Jingfeng hurriedly followed behind him.Xie Wuchen took off his cloak, turned around and ordered to his followers: "Send a group of people to bring some gifts to the Yanzhou Army Garrison to see their attitude."

Liu Jingfeng: "..."

He said speechlessly: "Are you still going to help Xie Wuji?"

Xie Wuchen paused, and said: "Let's try his attitude first." Although he still didn't finish his words, his attitude this time was obviously more shaken than last time.

"Okay, okay." Liu Jingfeng said, "You help Xie Wuji on behalf of the Xie family, and you can drive a wedge between him and the Shu Army. When he depends on you, if you cut off his aid, he will be isolated The situation of being helpless... Maybe this is indeed feasible. But have you ever thought about what to do if he gets your help, really sends troops to suppress the bandits, really succeeds in serving the king, and makes great contributions? Are you trying to harm him? Still want to help him?"

Xie Wuchen smiled lightly, obviously thinking about this a long time ago: "Compared to driving apart his relationship with the Shu army... If you give him some money and food, you can let him go to serve the king, then I will definitely give this money and food."

Liu Jingfeng was taken aback.If he didn't know Xie Wuchen well, he would have wondered if Xie Wuchen didn't want to put the treasure on Han Rushan, but wanted to transfer Xie Wuji to bet.But this is not Xie Wuchen's temper.Could it be that his purpose was to let Xie Wuji send troops to suppress the bandits, causing heavy damage?

Xie Wuchen said: "What should he do if King Qin succeeds? Heh, I just hope that he will succeed. It's good that he succeeds!"

Liu Jingfeng was even more puzzled: "I don't understand."

Xie Wuchen sneered and said: "Do you know what Xie Wuji has worked so hard for? He wants to hold the emperor and order the princes! He thinks that if he captures the little boy surnamed Zhu, he can make the world submit to him, and all the officials bow their heads. , can restore order to the country, and can quell the chaos of war! It's a pity that he is blinded and confused. I look forward to his entry into Beijing, I look forward to his entry into the court, only then will he know what Huangliang Yimeng is. What is eternal doom!"

Liu Jingfeng looked at Xie Wuchen blankly, not knowing what to say.

Xie Wuchen paused every word, and gritted his teeth: "I'm waiting for that day to come sooner. Let him take a good look at what he has done all these years!"
