Zhu Nao

Since he didn't fall asleep all night, Samoun didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.I don't know how long he slept, but when he opened his eyes, the sun was already high.

He stared at the bright sky outside the window for a moment, then immediately turned over and jumped off the bed, angrily said: "Where's the person? Why didn't anyone wake me up?!"

Those envoys are going back to the Shu army camp today.It was agreed last night that he would send them off in person, and by the way, discuss with everyone to determine what conditions should be put forward to the Shu army.However, it was clearly past the hour, and no one called him to get up!

Immediately, he realized something was wrong - it was so quiet outside, it seemed like there was no one there!

Sha Mowen was full of doubts, quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, and stumbled to the door.When he opened the door, he was dumbfounded when he saw the situation outside - he saw soldiers standing around his house, a small table and chairs were placed in the yard, and a young man was sitting on the chair, looking upright and relaxed drinking tea.

Summerwin didn't know any of these people.His heart skipped a beat, he had already realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Who are you guys?!"

The man in the courtyard put down his teacup and said with a smile, "The Shagong finally woke up."

After speaking, he stood up unhurriedly, bowed his hands very politely, and reported to the door: "General Wei Yue, the general of the Xiashu army, has been waiting here for a long time."

Samoun: "..."

When he heard the word "Shu Jun", his legs were already weak.Hearing the word "Wei Yue", there was a "buzz" in his ears, and he almost fainted!

General of the Shu army? !Wei Yue? !Is that Wei Yue? !Why is it here! !

Even though he hadn't figured out what was going on, he already realized that something was wrong: he turned around and ran away.Wei Yue stood there calmly, with no intention of catching up.However, after running a few steps, Shamowan realized that he had made a fool.

——Man has been waiting here for a long time, how can he be given a chance to escape?The surrounding area of ​​his residence had already been surrounded by the Shu army airtight, and it was difficult for him to escape even with wings.

He looked eagerly here and there, hoping that his men would come to the rescue.However, after looking around, he realized that outside his yard, his cronies had long been surrounded by the Shu Army, and they were all trembling at this moment.

Shamoun's heart sank instantly.

At this moment, he finally understood—it turned out that Jun Nao's gift to him was fake, and the truth was that he lured the snake out of the hole.Fortunately, he had a good dream all night yesterday, but now it has all become a daydream!

He was terrified, and his mind was in a mess, so he could only go to the doctor in a hurry to protest: "You, you can't kill me! I am in Liangzhou, and I have many subordinates in Liangzhou! If you kill me, someone will replace me Revenge! You... You are demagogues, you are perfidious, who in Liangzhou will dare to submit to you in the future?!"

Wei Yue raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Kill you? Sha Gong must have misunderstood you, right? I came here today to declare our army's sincerity to Sha Gong's surrender, and there is absolutely no disrespect."

Samoun: "..." Does this mean there is no disrespect? !

Wei Yue clapped her hands, and immediately a soldier came out of the crowd.Shamowen thought that Wei Yue had called thugs, and was so frightened that he put on a defensive posture, but found that what those soldiers brought out was a stool.

The soldiers of the Shu army half-forcibly "invited" Shamowen to sit opposite Wei Yue.Shamoun didn't know what their plans were, and was trembling with shock and fear.

Wei Yue cleared her throat, and said unhurriedly: "Regarding Sha Gong's submission to our army, although we have negotiated with your envoy for many days, we have not yet reached a conclusion. The governor of Zhu Fu is worried that Sha Gong will wait for a long time, and he is worried. Doubts arose, so he ordered me to come personally to meet Sha Gong, and discuss this matter as soon as possible, so that both parties can feel at ease as soon as possible..."

Sha Mowen was stunned.He is already a fish on the chopping board, and Wei Yue wants to talk to him about surrender?

Wei Yue glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Speaking of which, I thought that Mr. Zhu's worries were a little overdone. How could Shagong have doubts in his heart? But just now I had a chat with Shagong's subordinates." , I heard Shagong really changed his mind? Huh?"

Shamowan was startled, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead instantly.He stammered: "No, no, I, I, I... no..."

His arrogance from last night was completely gone, he almost bit off his tongue in anxiety, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Wei Yue admired his panic-stricken appearance with interest for a while, and then said leisurely: "It seems that someone is talking nonsense. So, Sha Gong is still willing to submit to our Shu army?"

How dare Shamoun say no?I can only nod like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Since that's the case," Wei Yue said, "Let's settle this matter today, so as not to have long nights and dreams. I don't know what Sha Gong wants?"

Samowin didn't even dare to wipe off his cold sweat, so he could only continue to nod his head.

So Wei Yue took out an alliance letter that had already been drawn up from his bosom, and pushed it in front of Sha Mowen: "Then please have a look at it. If there is no objection, then it will be settled."

Shamoun stared at the letter of alliance, dumbfounded.After a while, he tremblingly held up the letter of alliance.

After reading two lines, his eyes went dark.When I looked down, I felt ups and downs in my heart, sometimes gnashing my teeth, sometimes secretly rejoicing, sometimes filled with grief and indignation, and sometimes filled with surprise.

Only now did he finally fully understand Jun Nao's trick.What reuse, what gift, are all deceptive tricks!This Zhu Nao is really insidious, cunning and scheming, and he actually fell into his tricks!

It's a pity that whether you are unwilling or unwilling, it's too late to regret now...

Wei Yue waited patiently for a long time, after he had finished reading the contents of the alliance book, he said, "Do Sha Gong have any objections?"

Wei Yue's tone was polite, as if she really wanted to discuss it with him.However, when soldiers approached the city, how dare Shamowen say a word?He could only nod his head without tears, accepting all of this.

=====

"Report to the general!"

Xie Wuji returned to the barracks after finishing his garrison work. Before he could enter his tent, the messenger chased him up from behind.

"General, the governor of the Zhu family just ordered someone to spread the word that Shamoun has signed the surrender document!"

Xie Wuji immediately stopped in his tracks: "Oh?"

Wu Cong, who was by Xie Wuji's side, was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Is it the one we drafted together earlier? Did Shamowen bargain?"

The messenger shook his head again and again: "Sha Mowen has accepted all the orders!"

Wu Cong immediately smashed his palm happily with his fist: "Beautiful!"

A smile appeared on Xie Wuji's face.

A few days ago, Xie Wuji had a dispute with Wei Yue over whether to accept Shamoun's surrender.Xie Wuji insisted on dismantling Samoun's military power to avoid raising tigers; Wei Yue believed that being able to successfully recruit Samoun was the top priority, and he could make some concessions for this.When they were at loggerheads, it was Jun Nao who stood up and resolved the conflict between the two sides.

Zhu Nao's view is that they should not only surrender Samoun, but also cannot continue to let Samoun hold military power.

If it can be realized, of course it would be great for the Yanzhou Army and the Shu Army.But the reason why Xie Wuji and Wei Yue had conflicts was precisely because Na Shamowen would not easily hand over his military power even in a deadly battle.

Ordinarily, this fact is difficult to have both, but when this problem comes to Zhu Nao, there is a way to resolve it very quickly.

Throughout the ages, the most critical move in the art of war to defeat the enemy is often "soldiers never tire of deceit".Samoun figured out that Zhu Nao planned to recruit the remnants of the Liangzhou Army, and needed to set an example; while Junao figured out Samoun's thoughts.So Zhu Nao resorted to tricks and asked Wei Yue to coax the envoys into a dizzy, ecstatic mood.The envoys really let go of their guard, and gradually believed in the sincerity of the Shu army to surrender.

Originally, in the vast desert, it was not easy to find Sha Mowen and his subordinates, and Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji didn't have so much time to spend in Liangzhou.But with those envoys leading the way, they found Shamowen's residence without any effort, and then overnight, the magic soldiers descended from the sky, and before the Liangzhou wild wolves could react, they grouped them together Surrounded and disarmed smoothly.

At this point, even if they wanted to kill Samoun and wipe out his soldiers and horses, it would not be difficult.But Junau's plan wasn't like that - he was still planning to surrender.

What about Samoun?It's already an alliance under the city, how can he still have room for negotiation?Naturally, accept it honestly.

Ever since, Shamowen handed over the military power, and all the soldiers under him were reorganized as officials, and the Shu army reorganized them.He also obediently handed over the land under his jurisdiction, and it will be under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou Prefecture reorganized by Zhu Nao in the future.

However, Zhu Nao did not treat Shamoun well, on the contrary, he gave him good treatment.Zhu Nao appointed him an official position in Liangzhou Prefecture, and asked him to supervise the Hexi horse farm.Although this position does not lead soldiers, it is definitely a fat job, with a lot of power in his hands, and the money he handles is even more flowing. It is really a good job that everyone covets.

With Zhu Nao’s arrangement, it is indeed more convenient to hand over the matter of the horse farm to local people in Liangzhou; secondly, it is also for other forces in Liangzhou to see. Sha Mowen can have such a good treatment after he surrenders, presumably other forces will follow suit.As for those who refused to give up their military power, they were not the ones Jun Nao wanted to recruit to surrender; San Ze Samoun had no soldiers in his hands, and even if he was given an important position, Jun Nao was willing to do so.If he does not do well in the future, it is just a matter of lifting him to dismiss him and investigate him.

In this way, the military power that should be surrendered has been surrendered, the future troubles that should be eliminated, and the example that should be set has also been set.The best of both worlds, but that's it.

After hearing the messenger's report, Xie Wuji suddenly changed his footsteps and did not go to his tent.

Wu Cong was taken aback for a moment, hurriedly chased after him and asked, "General, where are you going?"

Xie Wuji said nothing, but Wu Cong immediately understood: he is going to find Zhu Nao!

……

Xie Wuji came outside Jun Nao's tent, only to see that the curtain was open, and a spy inside was reporting to Jun Nao.

Seeing this, Xie Wuji didn't go in immediately.However, Zhu Nao saw Xie Wuji.After commanding a few words with the spies, the spies withdrew from the tent.

"Thank you, General," the man said respectfully, "Your Majesty Zhu is here to invite you."

Xie Wuji then walked towards the tent.

In the past few days, the two of them have business affairs to deal with, and they have been so busy that they never touch the ground.Occasionally, there is always a group of subordinates waiting for them to give orders, so they haven't had a chance to talk properly these days.Until now, Xie Wuji took a seat opposite to Zhu Nao, and there was no one disturbing the surroundings.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to speak, but Junao spoke first.

"General Xie came just in time." Zhu Nao said, "The spies came to deliver a letter just now, saying that something big happened in Jiangling Mansion, did General Xie hear about it?"

Xie Wuji was slightly taken aback.Zhu Nao was always more informed than he was, he shook his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Nao said: "A while ago, the Governor of Changsha sent troops to invade Jiangling under the pretext of rampant Jiangling water thieves. The governor of Jiangling sent troops to resist, but they were defeated in a row. A few days ago, the Changsha Army attacked the city of Jiangling, and the Jiangling Army had already opened the city gate and surrendered. gone."

Xie Wuji frowned.

After the death of the Son of Heaven, there was no master in the world, and all the prefectures were separated one after another.The melee for the Central Plains has already begun.Prior to this, there were wars in Henan, Guangjin, and Taiyuan.However, due to lack of strength, Xu was worried that the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind, and the scale of the previous battles was not large.It seems that this is the first time that Changsha Mansion directly annexed Jiangling Mansion.

But it won't be long before such things will happen more and more.

He thought for a while and asked a name: "Where's Huang Dongxuan?"

He asked nonsense, but Zhu Nao had a tacit understanding and said, "I heard that he didn't go out for this battle."

Xie Wuji understood, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Sometimes this person acts recklessly, but sometimes he is considerate."

Zhu Nao smiled: "Yes."

When King Qin met for the alliance, not only was Zhu Nao attracted to Huang Dongxuan, but Xie Wuji was also very impressed with him—you must know that Huang Dongxuan's night break into the capital almost ruined his plan.

After the King Qin League ended, Huang Dongxuan left Jiangling Mansion with his navy and joined Changsha Mansion Yin.It is conceivable that he and the governor of Jiangling must have had an extremely unhappy quarrel, but he was able to settle the matter. In the end, the governor of Changsha exchanged land and money from the governor of Jiangling for Huang Dongxuan and his army.

Ever since, a matter of betraying the original owner was turned into a deal, and it was the person who was sealed by the Governor of Jiangling himself. At least Huang Dongxuan had no harm in the law.

And the governor of Changsha got Huang Dongxuan and his navy back, and his covetous heart for Jiangling's mansion was also clearly revealed.Sure enough, within two years, the Changsha Mansion found an excuse to send troops to Jiangling.In this battle, if Huang Dongxuan led his troops to fight, based on his knowledge of Jiangling Mansion, he would definitely be able to make a lot of military exploits, but he did not do so.

This does not mean that Huang Dongxuan really did not participate in the battle. The Changsha Army can win so smoothly, it is hard to say that Huang Dongxuan did not play a role in it.But in any case, he avoided the war with the old master, and he did enough to save face.

Whether it was changing to the Changsha Mansion or avoiding the war with the Jiangling Mansion, Huang Dongxuan was beyond reproach in terms of legal principles.Of course, this does not prevent others from calling him disloyal and unrighteous.But he didn't do this to stop others from scolding him.

——He was leaving a way out for himself.

Whether he stays in Changsha Mansion in the future, or one day he wants to switch to another person, and wants to gain the trust and reuse of the new owner, he cannot be a treacherous person.He can be unfaithful, but at least he can't harm the Lord, and if he wants to leave, he will walk openly instead of stabbing him in the back.If not, who would dare to keep him in the future?

It can be seen from this that this person is a very intelligent person.

This inevitably makes people think of a person who lacks such wisdom——Han Fengxian.

Xie Wuji wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back and didn't say anything.After a while, he whispered, "Master Zhu."

Junao looked up at him: "Huh?"

Xie Wuji looked into Zhu Nao's eyes, thought for a while, and finally opened his mouth slowly: "Xie Mou joined the army on the thirteenth year, was in command at the seventeenth, and has been in the army for more than ten years. He only knows the outcome of the battlefield, and does not know the pros and cons of the current situation..." He said There is a pause here, but there is actually a lot I want to say, but when it comes time to say it, I suddenly don't know how to word it.

After a while, he gave up those words and said bluntly: "There were many offenses in the past, please forgive some rudeness."

Junao was stunned.Jing Zhe behind him widened his eyes in disbelief, while Wu Cong, who followed Xie Wuji, turned pale with shock.He has been by Xie Wuji's side for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen Xie Wuji apologize to anyone!

The tent became quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Zhu Nao finally said, "General Xie didn't..."

Xie Wuji knew that he wanted to excuse himself, so he interrupted: "It's my fault."

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhu Nao had already told him the reason why he insisted on taking in Han Fengxian.Zhu Nao didn't fancy Han Fengxian's talents, but bought bones with a lot of money to show his love for talents to the heroes of the world.The reason why he objected was that he did not understand Jun Nao's position.

He has been in the army for many years and knows the importance of military discipline.How powerful an army is depends not on its numbers or its armaments, but on its discipline.It's not that he doesn't pay attention to talents, but rather than making the best use of people, he is more worried about the bad consequences of military discipline and laxity, which will be irreversible.He originally saw Junau as the same person as himself.

But it wasn't until Shamowen took the initiative to surrender and Zhu Nao outsmarted him that he suddenly realized his omissions - he was in charge of a huge army, but Junao's chessboard was far larger than him.

Zhu Nao's game of chess is the world.

Governing the world and running an army, although they have something in common, are not the same thing.

After a while, Junao laughed.Xie Wuji's apology was not so much an apology as a concession.The two have formed an alliance so far. Although they are close, there is no clear difference between them.Because of this, there will be disputes about Han Fengxian.

But now, Xie Wuji actually took the initiative to give in.What he gave up was not just a Han Fengxian.

Zhu Nao was full of smiles, but his eyes were quite sincere: "General Xie has a broad mind, I accept this love."

Hearing the word broad-minded, Xie Wuji's expression became a little strange.He glanced at Cheng Jingzhe first, and Cheng Jingzhe vaguely realized something, and immediately looked at his nose, nose, nose and heart, without moving.

Xie Wuji withdrew his gaze, and said slowly: "Speaking of... Zhu Fuyin's measure really surprised me."

Zhu Nao was startled: "What?"

Xie Wuji said: "A few days ago, why did you order people to throw stones at me?"

Cheng Jingzhe: "..."

Wu Cong: "..."

Junao: "??"

Junao: "????"
