In the lobby of Zhang Shanxiang's house, Zhang Xing and Mrs. Huo were chatting and laughing. They talked about Liu Heifu's request for help before, to the past events in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and from the current situation to Mrs. Huo's generation who fell from official ladies to smugglers. wonderful story.
It can be seen that Zhang San is really interested in these stories, and Mrs. Huo is excited about Chief Zhang's visit.
However, compared to these two, the other three had different reactions.
Qin Bao was also a little curious. He listened attentively, but did not participate in the conversation excessively. Zhang Shanxiang, who rushed back after hearing the news, felt that he was sweating profusely, especially since his aunt often had to turn around with the chief to ask questions, asking herself to To supplement the verification of his childish behavior back then; as for Zhuge Dewei, he only felt that he should not have stepped in. Now there are big people everywhere in Baima City. Since he has made an explanation with Chief Zhang, if he has this time, he might as well go find him. Gu Shan Tonghai and Xu Shiying are arguing... However, although he feels this way, he will not show it. Instead, he is the most enthusiastic one among the three.
After some conversation, people praised him, and he listened to stories. As he watched the sunset emerge after the rain stopped, Chief Zhang was ready to leave.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Xing said something specifically before leaving: "I have an idea, please ask Mr. Huo for more details."
"Chief, just say it." After talking all afternoon, Mrs. Huo was still in high spirits.
"That's it." Zhang Xing said seriously. "I thought about it before. It has been four years since our Dragon Gang rebelled. We have experienced many wars and many people have made meritorious deeds. Some of them are in the right positions and have enough merits, including promotions and land grants, but These people are still a minority, and after many people have made great contributions, our rewards are not enough..."
"I haven't heard of such a thing!" Mrs. Huo interrupted the other party immediately. "Everyone says that our deposed dragon gang has the most fair rewards and punishments in battle! There is no ranking for the officers and soldiers to record their merits!"
"That's not what I'm talking about." Zhang Xing spread his hands and spoke. "For example, those who died in battle were given pensions and some more permanent land in the fields. Although there is no other way, they always feel that there are some shortcomings and that they should be given some titles..."
Mrs. Huo was stunned and nodded immediately.
"There are also some people who have participated in every battle and have accumulated a lot of merit, but because they are stuck at the team level, it is difficult to move up... Although it is difficult for some people to break into the house, but the parties involved will inevitably have some worries. If you are angry, even some leaders will become a little uneasy after a long time, not knowing whether they are doing well or bad." Zhang Xing continued to speak sincerely. "These people must also be comforted."
"That's true." After coming back to his senses, Manager Huo certainly wouldn't let Chief Zhang be left alone in his own hall.
"As for some of them, they are not from the army at all, or they are not from our army, just like those reinforcements from the north who left... there are still those who have not fought on the front line but have made extraordinary achievements, or they have accumulated a lot in the rear. Difficult... For example, this time you took Liu Heifu to Xingyang, which was a great achievement. There was also the military uniform workshop in Jiyin. Several major logistical preparations were made without making any mistakes. Military uniforms worth tens of thousands of dollars were made. It's good and fast, really outstanding." Zhang Xing continued to explain. "In addition to the basic land granting and rewards, shouldn't there be an explanation?"
"Compared with those soldiers who died in battle, the hard work of thousands of palace people overnight is incomparable, but this time I can urge Shan Longtou and the others to send troops, I feel that I have done something." Mrs. Huo heard this, and she felt happy Don't refuse. "I just don't know what the chief is going to give? If he really gives you more money, I won't need it."
"So we need to create something other than monetary rewards, mainly to show off our reputation." Zhang Xing answered seriously. "I have been thinking about this for a long time, but the matter is really urgent. This time I have to deal with the imperial army in the south... As a result, today I saw everyone in the gang wearing forehead wipes, and I had an idea in my mind. I came to you I have another thought in my house...Do you think this will work, Madam? For example, those who have fought against Lishan will have a special Lishan Xun Seal, just like the people in Jing'antai in the government before wore black ribbons and white ribbons. Like a ribbon, it can be worn on the body; for example, on your house, you can hang a vertical or horizontal plaque, just like those of the Guanlong clan, recording meritorious deeds in front of the door... Is it possible?"
"Why can't it be done?" Manager Huo answered immediately, even visibly excited. "Life in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune. Who doesn't want everyone in the family to show their dignity?"
"Then you and Mrs. Ding must have the same brand here." Zhang Xing was extremely sincere.
"If I take it, I won't show it to him conspicuously. I'll just hang it back in the village for the surrounding villagers to see, because this is what I, a widow, earned by myself, and I won't be next to my nephews or anything like that." Manager Huo He said it proudly, but he took the initiative again. "But speaking of it, it's hard to sit around this time no matter what, Chief Zhang, but we must say half of what we are asked to do, otherwise we will have to wait for our achievements last time? This is too embarrassing. .”
Zhang Xing wanted to refuse or fool him, and he was already ready to leave, but his eyes glanced at Qin Bao beside him and Zhang Shanxiang who stood up awkwardly, but his heart moved slightly, and he continued to sit and talk: "There is really one thing. I wonder if I can ask the old lady for help?”
"Come, Chief."
"This is Qin Erlang, my long-time brother." Zhang Xing pointed at Qin Bao. "He came to join us from Dongdu, but his mother and wife stayed there. Although Sima is a very particular person there, and there are officials in Dongdu to take care of him, the separation between mother and son will not last long after all..."
Qin Bao didn't react at first, but after hearing half of it, he quickly stood up and saluted.
Manager Huo immediately woke up and jumped up from his seat: "Leave this matter to me! I'm an old woman, I don't have any armor, I just come when I go, it's more appropriate."
Hearing this, Qin Bao knelt down and worshiped directly.
Mrs. Huo immediately stood up and helped her.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Xing laughed instead: "Why don't we meet one more person, become a godmother, and have a place to live, but I don't know if you two are willing, or are there any taboos?"
Qin Bao did not hesitate, kowtowed again, and then raised his head: "The old lady will solve the problem with just one word. She not only claims that her loyalty is like the sea, but also that her kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Why can't Qin Er recognize her as her godmother as a sign of filial piety?"
Manager Huo also raised his eyebrows and said happily: "I just think that these local young people are ignorant and want to find someone who can stand out. You know who is on the right path. You abandon your comfort to do great things. You know you are a hero. How can I dislike it? Besides, you know who is right. You abandon your comfort to do great things. You know you are a hero." , I have accepted my adopted son, and it will be easier to talk to my mother-in-law when I see her."
Qin Bao did not dare to neglect and kowtowed again.
When Zhang Shanxiang and Zhuge Dewei saw this, they naturally would not spoil the atmosphere... Zhuge Dewei even felt a little sour in his heart after looking at Zhang Shanxiang, whose face turned red. It's a pity that his mother died early, otherwise he would have wanted to be like Qin Er. The Chief's confidant formed a sworn relationship... Of course, he also knew that the key to this kind of thing was Chief Zhang's approval. If someone really knew about it and tried to learn from it, they would end up like Cheng Dalang.
In short, things have progressed to this point. Although it was a temporary idea, everyone is happy in the end. Zhang Xing simply asked Zhang Shanxiang to pay for the treat and he would come again in the evening... Before that, he still had to go back and issue orders.
Back at the government office, a plan has been made. Not to mention the specific layout, the fifteen battalions on the front line are the first to launch. Their leaders are:
Shan Tonghai, Wang Shuyong, Wu Jingfeng, Liu Heifu, Li Zida, Fan Wang, Zuo Caixiang, Xiahou Ningyuan, Guo Jingke, Han Erlang, Shang Huaien, Cao Chen, Wu Changzai, Chang Fu, Zhai Kuan.
This list seems random, but in fact there is a saying. It is based on a leading leader, and then one big leader as the general, and two corresponding leaders as the standard generals, divided into five combat groups... At the same time, try to The mobile cavalry was concentrated, and as far as possible they were mainly people from Henan and Jianghuai, but they were not completely elite. Instead, they specially added some new battalions and battalions with insufficient combat power in order to confuse the enemy.
After Zhang Xing examined it for a moment, he no longer hesitated and immediately signed the military order.
As the military order was issued, these fifteen battalions no longer wasted any time. Including Shan Tonghai, the leader, many soldiers and horses near Baima left almost overnight, and the rest will receive military orders tomorrow. Then immediately headed south.
At this time, instead of seeing him off, Chief Zhang took Li Ding, Dou Lide, Xu Shiying and others back to attend the banquet where Mrs. Huo recognized her son.
It can only be said that this style of work feels like the soldiers are half dead in front of the battle line, and the chief officer is still having a good time before the case.
Of course, it may be that the excellent matching system played a role. On this day, a banquet was also held in Xuzhou City, and it was a big banquet in the day and a small banquet in the evening... Sima Huada entertained Xiong Bonan and Xie Minghe publicly during the day, and held a special banquet in the evening. He took his younger brother, Zhao Xingmi, Linghu Xing, Zhang Qianda, Yu Changnan, Niu Fangsheng, Feng Chang and other confidants to entertain Xie Minghe privately.
Why didn't Xiong Bonan come at night?
Of course it's not because Sima Zuopushe is afraid of death... but it is said that Sima Zuopushe has always been a romantic figure. He has nothing to say to rough guys like Xiong Bonan and only wants to associate with famous people like Xie Minghe.
In this way, a few people arranged the table and placed the wine. After three rounds of drinking, Sima Huada, who was holding the wine glass, winked at his brother on one side, who immediately handed over to the other side:
"Thank you sir!"
Xie Minghe, who was sitting across from him, said nothing and only raised his glass to express greetings.
Upon seeing this, Sima Jinda also lowered his head and drank the cup in one gulp, and then prepared to ask questions... However, when the words came to his mouth, he changed his straightforward plan and asked an interesting question: "Thank you. Sir, if the Deposed Dragon Gang and us had a decisive battle at this time, who would win and who would lose?"
"We should have won... a miserable victory." Xie Minghe thought for a while and gave his answer.
"Why?"
This answer seemed to be sincere, so Sima Jinda and the others were a little curious, but Sima Huada, who had taken over, just kept his head down and drank.
"If you ask me, the strengths of the two families are actually similar, but each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The current situation is complicated, and both families have their own pros and cons." Xie Minghe held up the empty cup and looked at it repeatedly under the light. Although his tone was casual, the content was Appear sincere and serious. "For example, we have just finished a big battle and suffered heavy losses. You have moved in a hurry and have limited luggage. We are defending the homeland and you are returning to the army. We have several battalions of organized cavalry, but the practitioners among your troops are greater than ours. As for the upcoming rainy season, of course it will be beneficial to us, but you may also have reinforcements from Dongdu, and we will definitely have to divide our troops to prepare for it..."
These few examples are indeed pertinent, and the few far-fetched ones are also human nature, so everyone nodded.
After Xie Minghe gave a few examples and saw that everyone agreed, he turned around and said: "But there is a place where the comparison between the two sides is not a simple matter of superiority or inferiority, but can directly determine life and death... For you, this is fate. The door is also the reason why we must win."
At this point, he suddenly shut up and stopped talking. It seemed that he was showing off, but also seemed that he didn't want to say anything.
Sima Jinda didn't say anything when he heard this. Instead, he turned to look at his brother because he was not sure whether to listen or not.
After all, as an envoy of the enemy, Xie Minghe's next words will obviously bring risks... They all still remember Zhang Shizhao's clever words and the collapse of the witch alliance with one mouthful.
However, Sima Huada, who was sitting in the first place, did not express his position. Instead, he was minding his own business and slowly poured himself a drink. Not only that, even Xie Minghe was not in a hurry and also sat there and poured himself a drink.
Finally, after waiting for a while, before Sima Jinda could speak, Zhang Qianda in the seat couldn't help it anymore: "Manager Xie, what is the life gate you are talking about?"
"Although your army is powerful, it has left many sects without a leader, and its name is inconsistent with its name. Although our Deposed Dragon Gang has experienced many twists and turns, we finally deposed Li Shu based on the last incident and took the opportunity to establish a large bank." Taiwan, the order comes from one place." Xie Minghe said proudly. "Under this situation, if the two sides insist on a decisive and deadly battle, we will definitely be able to continuously gather strength under the command of the chief and firm up our strategies to win, but you will inevitably cause chaos and then collapse."
As soon as these words came out, the private banquet became slightly quiet, and Sima Huada stopped drinking.
After a while, no one refuted, but Sima Jinda came and laughed: "Manager Xie, your tactic of alienation is too straightforward."
"You said estrangement is estrangement, it doesn't matter." Xie Minghe didn't care. "It's as if I, an outsider, can make you kill each other out of thin air with just a few words. You must know that since ancient times, those of us who have been lobbying have never relied on our words... If there is a quarrel, it is your own fault. If it is an alliance, both families will benefit from joining together; if it is to persuade them to surrender, then there will be a clear distinction between the strong and the weak; if it is to seek peace, it will be because they have something to rely on... If Sima Pushe firmly believes that the Forbidden Army is one and united, why should he dislike me? How about opening your mouth after drinking in private?"
Sima Jinda was embarrassed for a moment, and the other people also looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Niu Fangsheng broke the silence and asked others: "Manager Xie, you come from Dongdu, how is Dongdu?"
"After all, the Eastern Capital has so much storage. Old grain is also grain, and it can also make wine. These days, as long as the common people can have enough to eat, it's OK if the nobles have wine to drink... After Cao Lin goes, everyone will need a Sima General like this Decent people come to maintain the safety of the Eastern Capital... The only turmoil is that you killed Cao Che, which caused some people to doubt General Sima, and some people are hesitant to establish a new king on their own to compete with you." Xie Minghe answered seriously. , asked again. "You have been in Xuzhou for more than ten days. Didn't General Sima send someone to talk to you? Why did you ask me, a passing outsider, instead?"
Many people present were speechless.
"Sure enough, you don't need me to create a estrangement, right?" Xie Minghe sighed. "As far as I know, the Eastern Capital is actually willing to accept the imperial army, but not so many; it is willing to accept the empress dowager and the new emperor, but not willing to accept the regicide... For example, your father from Niushe is like this General Sima himself also somewhat agrees with this theory... That's why Dongdu cannot make accurate calculations with our Deposed Dragon Gang, and that's why I'm here..."
"I knew it!" After hearing this, Niu Fangsheng was of course sad, but Sima Huada was the first to get angry and threw the wine glass directly on the ground. "He has never regarded me as a father in his eyes, and he even regards me as his enemy! While other fathers and sons neglect private matters for the sake of public service, he neglects public affairs for the sake of private matters!"
Sima Jinda was one head and two older, and he wanted to get up and persuade the other party not to expose his flaws in front of Xie Minghe.
But since it fell, it was helpless.
Still Feng Chang smiled and waved to Xie Minghe: "Mr. Xie, let's not talk about Dongdu."
"Okay, Sima Pushe, you generals and ministers are from Jiangdu. Do you know how Jiangdu is doing?" Xie Minghe asked calmly. "You have been in Jiangdu for four years, and I have been hiding for three or four years."
Several people present simply remained silent.
"Everyone, I understand that it is useless for us to talk more...but as the foreign affairs manager of the Deposed Dragon Gang, I still want to reiterate the gang's intentions before leaving."
Xie Minghe finally shook his head and stood up as he spoke.
"We are not afraid of war, but if we really fight this war, the gains will outweigh the losses. Moreover, when you arrive in Dongdu, our two families may not necessarily be enemies, because the Bai family will definitely kill you. If you are stronger, we will be stronger than our Dragon Gang." Not a bad thing.
"Therefore, as long as you restrain the entire army, go upstream, along the Huai River from the northwest of Huai River without entering the northern part of Qiao County and the northern part of Pengcheng County, threatening our base areas, and hand over Xuzhou to us, we are willing not to pursue it When you captured Xuzhou before, you tried your best to restrain your troops and not attack.
"In order to show sincerity and make the two families trust each other, and since Cao Che is dead, we really have no worries, so we are willing to accept the new emperor's imperial edict... But we don't want to be in vain. We only want one thing, and that is to give our chief Zhang Established the authority and responsibility of the Daxingtai Governor to oversee hundreds of prefectures, counties, and city guards in Hebei, Dongjing, Beidi, and Jianghuai.
"Furthermore, since the two families have agreed to make peace and not fight, they must return the surrendered people, such as Fu Boshi, Wang Hou, Wang Zhuo and others, so that we, the Qianlong Gang, can deal with them.
"Let's stop here. The King of Heaven and I will leave tomorrow. I also ask Sima Zuopushe to think clearly and give an answer. If Sima Zuopushe cannot make the decision, please discuss it with the other Zuopushe and the new emperor as soon as possible. , the results will be given before noon tomorrow.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands to the person on the main seat, cupped his hands to the people around him, and left straight away.
Once people left, the atmosphere became lively.
"The request for peace is all fake. His original intention is to sow discord." Feng Chang sneered. "Let's fight among ourselves!"
"That's not entirely true, right?" Linghu Xing shook his head. "Of course this person is not trustworthy, but some of his words are sincere... It is always true that the Deposed Dragon Gang has not yet recovered its strength and does not want to fight us."
At this point, the man paused for a moment before continuing: "It should be true that we may not win if we fight."
"I think they are stalling for time." Zhao Xingmi said solemnly. "We can't always think from our side, we have to think from the side of the Deposed Dragon Gang... Every time the time goes by one day, the Deposed Dragon Gang can regain some combat power. When they return to their full strength, they can fight or not. And we are gradually getting into trouble, so it’s hard to say that this is not what we were thinking... Zuo Pushe, why were you delayed in Xuzhou for another four or five days?"
"Didn't Sima Deke say that he wouldn't do anything if Zhao Guang didn't do it?" Sima Huada spread his hands. "But Zhao Guang just didn't take action, so what can I do? Besides, I discussed this matter with you, and you all agreed. We really took Zhao Guang out, but there was another fight in the field, and he suddenly killed him. Which of us is the real disaster?"
Zhao Xingmi was silent for a moment and then felt sweating on his back for no reason.
"It doesn't work on the left or on the right. Why don't we wait for Xiao Guogong (Smadek) and deal with Zhao Guang ourselves?" Zhang Qianda finally spoke.
"After taking action, what if we suffer heavy losses and even the seventh child is injured, and then Smadek comes over and takes the opportunity to send troops to kill our brothers instead?!" Sima Huada suddenly became angry and directly scolded the case. "Zhang Qianda, how do you feel at ease?"
Zhang Qianda, who had only said one sentence tonight, stood up in shock, panicked and at a loss.
Linghu Xing, on the other hand, quickly left his seat and grabbed Zhang Qianda, and in turn advised Sima Huada: "Zuopushe, General Zhang is loyal to you and will never have second thoughts."
After saying that, he came to blame Zhang Qianda again: "General Zhang, can't you distinguish between priorities? The people in front of you are the backbone of the Forbidden Army. Don't always side with Sima Huben."
He actually only called Sima Deke his old job.
Zhang Qianda was in a daze for a moment: "Do you mean to deal with Zuopushe as well?"
Everyone can tell clearly who Zuo Pushe is talking about.
But Sima Huada still pretended to be confused: "How can I deal with myself?"
Zhang Qianda wanted to explain: "I'm talking about Sima Huben, Duke Xiao..."
"That's the problem. There are two Zuopushes, and they both have the surname Sima. The people below don't even know who the order came from." Feng Chang, a member of Nei Shishe, also stood up and spoke. "But it's not necessarily necessary to deal with Sima Huben... The key is what General Linghu said, which is to clearly distinguish priorities."
Only then did Zhang Qianda react: "Do you mean to disparage Sima Huben?"
"The Duke of Xiao has made great contributions to the country, how can he be denounced so easily?" Feng Chang explained quickly. "As long as Duke Rui is allowed to go further alone... I think that Duke Rui can imitate Bai Hengqiu as the prime minister, or imitate the governor of Dongyi as the grand master. In this way, while the priorities are clear, Zhao Maybe the light issue can also be solved, killing two birds with one stone.”
"Why did Duke Rui go one step further and be able to deal with Zhao Guang?" Zhang Qianda was really confused.
"Because Zhao Guang and his gang claim to be loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty, and since Rui Guogong is the Grand Master, we will spread some rumors, saying that General Sima in the Eastern Capital has established a new emperor, and the current little emperor will be deposed. The Dragon Gang borrowed knives to kill people and put them to death... He will definitely be unable to bear it." Feng Chang gave the final answer.
Zhang Qianda understood it completely, thought for a moment, and then spread his hands: "Such a good idea, why are you saying it now?"
"The main reason is that I'm afraid that Duke Xiao will be upset and that he can't do it if Duke Rui becomes the Grand Master." Feng Chang immediately answered.
"I'll tell you." Zhang Qianda was relieved. "What's the point? In terms of family and reputation, even though his surname is Sima, how can he be compared with Duke Rui Guo? And when he arrives in the Eastern Capital, he still has to count on General Sima to make the decision... If General Sima doesn't get along with Duke Rui, then Rui Guo will The title of Grand Duke will also belong to General Sima in the future, so we are not close to each other! It’s time for Grand Duke Xiao to wake up!"
Sima Huada nodded repeatedly, stood up and came over to hold Zhang Qianda's hand: "It's true that I misunderstood General Zhang. If this happens, I will be rewarded generously when I come to the Eastern Capital."
With that said, without waiting for Zhang Qianda to be grateful, Sima Huada looked around at the other people in the seat.
Yu Changnan stood up without saying a word, bowed his head and stood.
Sima Jinda and Zhao Xingmi looked at each other, and then the former tried his best to say to the latter: "If this matter comes to pass, it will not only be Zhao Guangneng who can deal with it, but then it can be done quickly. The key is to return to the Eastern Capital. Please don’t underestimate me too much.”
"As long as we can leave quickly, anything is fine." Zhao Xingmi's face was ashen, but he still replied. "However, I would like to remind you that in the past ten days in Xuzhou, although there have been things and opinions, the morale of the military has been unstable."
"So this matter must be resolved quickly without further delay." Sima Huada dragged Zhang Qianda with one hand and raised his other hand to declare. "Zhao Guang will be killed within three days. If he doesn't fall into the trap, he will be killed by force to ensure that we don't have any hidden dangers. After three days, we will definitely leave the city."
Zhao Xingmi was slightly refreshed: "Then do you have to accept the terms of the Deposed Dragon Gang?"
"You can give Zhang Xing this reward, it's just a name for nothing." Sima Huada responded on the spot. "But it's impossible to surrender to him, otherwise who would believe me? You don't believe me anymore! Just delay it."
Yu Changnan stretched his figure slightly, but happened to catch Feng Chang's gaze.
"Where is the road?" Zhao Xingmi hurriedly asked. "Should we avoid the northern route and go along the Huai River?"
"How can we determine this?" Sima Huada waved his hand immediately. "If the logistics are insufficient, if the morale of the army is unstable, if the second brother finally wakes up and has troops to support him, if the dragon thief is deposed, he is strong on the outside, but he is strong on the inside, and if the situation changes, we must adapt accordingly."
Zhao Xingmi nodded immediately and felt relieved.
Sima Jinda, on the other hand, thought for a while and continued to ask: "Brother, who will be the envoy if I go to award the reward? Depose Long Gangzhan and Wending, you may not be able to come back after leaving."
Feng Chang immediately moved forward and handed over his hand: "Zhang Xing, after all, has been living in Jing'an Taichung and will not kill the messengers wantonly. Therefore, this matter is simple. I just want to go around and get some information."
Sima Huada looked at his confidant who was born in Hebei, smiled, and then looked at Yu Changnan who was born in Jiangdong and settled in Dongdu, and gave the reply: "I can't do without you as a think tank here, let Yu Sheren go away. Bar!"
Feng Chang's expression remained unchanged and he just nodded.
Yu Changnan also surrendered as usual.
"Then once we set off... what will we do with Xuzhou?" Sima Jinda still considered everything comprehensive.
"Give Fu Bo Shi?" Sima Huada also came up with a fairly clever arrangement. "As soon as the army leaves, Xuzhou will inevitably be vacant. It just so happens that we can't trust Fu Boshi. It would be inappropriate to give him the option of having him fight with the Deposed Dragon Gang and the Huaiyou Alliance."
"It's not impossible." Sima Jinda immediately agreed. "Now that Fu Boshi has made arrangements, and Wang Zhuo is waiting for us in front, where is that Chishiro? What's the plan for the eldest brother? Should we throw it away altogether?"
"I'm useful, Zhi Shilang." Sima Huada finally let go of Zhang Qianda's hand, breathing heavily on alcohol. "I plan to use him to take care of the emperor and the empress dowager, as well as the civil and military officials and palace residents."
Everyone was stunned.
Linghu Xing blurted out: "How can this be done? How can a surrender and a bandit be entrusted to the emperor and the queen mother?"
But as soon as the words came out, he seemed to realize something, and then asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister, do you mean that Duke Xiao doesn't have to look after the emperor?"
"That's not what I meant." Sima Huada glanced at this person and shook his head quickly. "I am worried that there will still be a war along the way. In a big war, we must use all our combat power to move forward, but it is not easy to divide the troops and stay to look after the emperor and the civil and military officials. Otherwise, who will be left? On the other hand, Tomoyo Lang himself is trustworthy, but where are his subordinates? If they are brought to the front line to fight against the Deposed Dragon Gang, I'm afraid there will be trouble... That's just right."
Several people had nothing to say.
However, Sima Jinda bit the bullet and reminded: "He himself may not be trustworthy."
"There is a way to try him. It was Feng Sheren's idea." Sima Huada smiled instead. "We might as well let him take care of the emperor starting from tomorrow night in Xuzhou City. Wouldn't it fit in with the rumors that we will send the emperor to the Deposed Dragon Gang? Then wait for the roc to rescue the emperor... then Let’s see what Chishiro’s reaction is? Will he use the knife, will he fight tooth and nail? Will he come and notify us? Look, doesn’t this strategy work? It’s just right.”
Sima Jinda looked at his eldest brother, and then at Feng Chang, who was smiling. He was inexplicably flustered, but speechless... It was not because of the method, but because he suddenly realized that his eldest brother was actually He had a think tank and had already made a decision, but he didn't even explain it to himself in advance.
PS: Thank you to the new alliance leader, senior security guard Mo Yue Ba Ba, I am grateful!
