In a room.
Wang Youxiao was placed under house arrest, drinking tea brought by the eunuch and eating pastries, with a team of guards watching him.
Once he comes, he will be at ease. He didn't care at all about his own safety. But he was very concerned about whether Wu Nian's matter could be accomplished.
On the way here, he had already looked everywhere. Chu State had no preparations for war. Especially near the capital of Chu, dignitaries and dignitaries hung out in brothels and brothels, while scholars only focused on reading and playing.
The entire Chu capital is filled with the atmosphere of drunkenness and gold, and the cabinet ministers and six ministers in the imperial court are known as "wood carvings and clay sculptures".
The Taoist emperor practiced immortality and took elixirs, while the eunuchs were corrupt and perverted the law.
No one has the preparation or courage to bear the wind and rain. It has been several years since the Mongols invaded. A few years ago, they watched helplessly as the Liaodong generals were destroyed.
Now, they can still watch Wu Nian grow bigger in Liaodong.
As long as Wu Nian doesn't become king, that's fine.
In this way [Huang Chu] can continue to play music, continue dancing, and continue to live a life of drunkenness and wealth.
Some people only wake up suddenly when a knife is placed on their necks, saying, "I'm going to die."
"Liu Changshi is really a good strategist. The court of Chu State has lost its armor and shed its armor if it can be killed by just one person." In Wang Youxiao's heart, he admired Liu Zhixing very much.
Wang Youxiao sat in this room for an hour, and even went to the latrine in the middle. Continue to drink tea and eat cakes.
He was not anxious at all and was very steady.
Until the chief assistant Wang Guifang walked in from outside.
"Wang Chief Assistant." Wang Youxiao watched him come in, put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up, and bowed.
"Mr. Wang." Wang Guifang returned the courtesy to Wang Youxiao solemnly. Immediately, the two came to the couch and sat down.
Without any nonsense, Wang Guifang said directly: "Mr. Wang, after discussion with the court, the court is willing to send the family members of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu back to Liaodong together with Mr. Wang."
"But the imperial court has another matter to discuss with General Fu Han."
Although he felt that this was a sure thing, Wang Youxiao still showed a little joy after hearing this. But he quickly calmed down, put away his joy, raised his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions, the king."
"The imperial court wants to appoint General Fu Han as the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong, with jurisdiction over the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong." Wang Guifang's eyes flashed as she watched Wang Youxiao's expression changes carefully.
Wang Youxiao didn't feel happy, but felt chilled in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Conditions."
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
"It's so calm." Wang Guifang secretly praised her, and then said: "The condition is that General Fu Han will send his eldest son Wu Min to the court to be His Majesty's imperial bodyguard."
"In this way, General Fu Han can control the actual power of the five prefectures and thirty-two counties without being crowned king. He can also gain the support of Huang Chu. Just like the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
This was the court's strategy to deal with Wu Nian after discussion.
Wu Nian is very strong, really strong.
But Wu Nian's son may not be strong.
Give Wu Nian a nominal official position as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and let Wu Nian take charge of the entire five prefectures of Liaodong. But in fact, Guangyang Mansion and Huanglong Mansion were asked to be conquered by Wu Nian.
The Meng Yuan people are definitely not that easy to fight, and Wu Nian might be seriously injured.
And they got Wu Nian's eldest son as a hostage. Make Wu Nian the same existence as the Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty. When Wu got old and died.
Then they can start to cut down the vassal vassal.
It can only be said that the Chu court was too naive. I thought Wu Nian only wanted to be king in the 32 counties of the five prefectures of Liaodong.
Wang Youxiao knew exactly what the Chu court was thinking. He sneered and said: "The Chief Assistant Wang is too whimsical. My general's eldest son, Wu Min, is less than four years old this year. How can he serve as an imperial guard?"
Negotiations failed.
Wang Guifang smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
Wang Youxiao lived in a hotel in Chudu for more than a month. Because the families of Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu were far apart, it took a lot of time to pick them up.
When Wang Youxiao returned to Jiang County, it was already snowing heavily.
Between the white snow, a road leads directly to Jiang County. A team protected by cavalry from five hundred households headed for Jiang County.
Among them were more than a hundred carts, including baggage, gold and silver, as well as the family members of Guan and Huang, accompanied by their domestic slaves and maidservants.
The team continued to march for a while, and the front suddenly became clear. Wang Youxiao looked at the flat land in front of him, exhaled a breath, and said with a smile: "I'm finally back."
Although there is no fear of life or death. But this journey was indeed very tiring. His whole body seemed to be falling apart and he was in urgent need of rest.
"Go and tell everyone in the Guan and Huang families. Jiang County has arrived, and they will see General Guan and General Huang soon."
Wang Youxiao turned around and said to a follower beside him.
"Yes." The attendant responded, immediately rode the horse, and loudly announced the good news to the team.
Both the people inside and outside the carriage looked happy.
Soon after, Wang Youxiao led people into the city. Then he separated from the team and asked people to take their two families to see Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu, while he took his entourage to the Fuhan General's Mansion to resume his life.
Fu Han General's Mansion.
Wrapped in silver, the armor is awe-inspiring.
backyard. Wu Nian sat in Xiaohong's room, holding his fifth son Wu Shuang and watching.
Xiaohong was lying on the bed, her face full of happiness.
At the beginning of the year, Wu Nian stayed in the mansion of General Fu Han and enjoyed a happy life. Except for Chen, the other wives and concubines became pregnant again.
Sow seeds at the beginning of the year and bear fruit at the end of the year.
Wu Nian had three sons in a row. At this time, Liu Xiang, Wang Ruyan and Xiao Hong were all happy.
Among them, Liu Xiang gave birth to his third son, Wu Ting, and Wang Ruyan gave birth to his fourth son, Wu Yong, plus the little Wu Shuang in his arms.
Wu Nian now has five sons and two daughters.
Regarding the name, there were no disturbances this time. Wu Nian directly asked Liu Zhixing to take action and successfully decided on the names of his sons.
"General. Chen Shenjun wants to see you." Suddenly. A maid came in, bent down and saluted Wu Nian.
"Yes." Wu Young nodded lightly, then carefully handed the little Wu Shuang to the nanny, said a few words to Xiao Hong, then turned and walked out.
outside the door. Chen Jiagui stood in the wind and snow wearing thick clothes.
"General. The Chu court officially replaced Xiong Wuwo and Wu Jing. Wang Zhongbi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Qian Neng was appointed governor of Liaodong."
"They came to Nanhai Mansion secretly and have now completed the handover task."
"In addition, the Chu State's court has added 20,000 soldiers to them. Now the Chu State's military strength in Liaodong has been restored to 80,000."
When Chen Jiagui saw Wu Nian coming out, he lowered his head and said.
Wu Nian's brilliance flashed away, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The traditional skill in the last years of the dynasty is to be suspicious of generals."
"Go and investigate. Who is this Wang Zhongbi and Qian Neng? Especially Wang Zhongbi, who is stronger and who is weaker compared to Xiong Wuwo."
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
Know thyself, ever-victorious. Liu Zhixing's plan had succeeded, but now there was still a problem. What if this Wang Zhongbi is stronger than Xiong Wuwo?
Although unlikely, it is possible.
"yes."
Chen Jiagui responded, turned around and went down.
"Nanhai Mansion, Shanhaiguan." Wu Nian turned around and looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan, with a sparkle in his eyes.
At this moment, a soldier walked over quickly. After standing still, he bowed and saluted: "General. Wang Gongcao is back."
The sparkle in Wu Nian's eyes suddenly turned into a smile.
The captains and troops also rose up.
