This is indeed a trouble. Wan was attacked by Chang Yu and his troops during the siege. The army was defeated and fled back to Mengzi. She should be actively setting up defenses at this time, because she knew that Mu Tianbo would never spare her this time. Soon Then an army will come to kill you.
And all she has to do is resist desperately, otherwise she will be exterminated!
What kind of resistance could they rely on? Three of his four major men were killed, leaving only Wang Shuo and his counselor Ruan Yunjia. Almost half of the troops and horses were also severely damaged. However, the Wan family was still confident that they could hold off Mu Tianbo's army for a year and a half. That was because of their reliance on The steep terrain of Mengzi.
Historically, after Sun Kewang entered Yunnan, Sha Dingzhou retreated to the territory of Jigelong (now Dehou, Wenshan County) after he could not defeat him. Li Dingguo was stunned for several months and could not defeat him. It can be seen that the terrain is dangerous and one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. .
As for what about a year and a half later?
Wan is not too worried. There are too many uncertainties in the current situation. Mu Tianbo cannot spend so long with her. The situation is changing day by day. Let's wait and see.
So Wan still has the ability to protect herself at the moment, but if you tell him now that you come over and your husband has something to say to you, do you think she will come back? Do you think she will think that Mu Tianbo is fishing? What about law enforcement?
"Just ask her to come over, of course she won't come." Sha Dingzhou sighed: "So you need to send someone over to contact her." The speaker glanced at Tang Jianbin, and Chang Yu immediately refused: "Put away your little thoughts. , it is absolutely impossible for you two to leave Kunming City before Wu Bikui and Wan Shi die."
"Then how to win the Wan family's trust and make her come? If she doesn't come to meet with us, she will definitely not believe you!" Sha Dingzhou couldn't help but speak louder. Chang Yu had already planned for this: "You need to repair the book first One letter, just ask her to send Ruan Yunjia to come and see it to see if it’s true or not. Unless she doesn’t want to save you, she will definitely come.”
"You actually know Ruan Yunjia?" Sha Dingzhou was startled: "How did you know Ruan Yunjia was at my place?"
Mu Tianbo was also startled: "Ruan Yunjia? Why is this name so familiar?"
"Ruan Chenglin's godson" Chang Yu said casually and then looked at Sha Dingzhou and sneered: "Have you forgotten what I do?"
"Yes, yes, you are from Jinyiwei. You can find out that we are connected with Yuan Guohong and others, so how can you not know about Ruan Yunjia?" Tang Jiabin and Sha Dingzhou looked ashen.
So Sha Dingzhou and Tang Jiajia each wrote a letter to Wan in front of Chang Yu and Mu Tianbo, explaining Mu Tianbo's conditions for survival and asking her to come to the interview in person. If that didn't work, they could send Ruan Yunjia first. As long as Killing Yuanmou can save both of their lives.
Then Mu Tianbo immediately sent people to Mengzijiao and Wanshi.
"Eunuch Chang, do you think the Wan family will believe it easily?" Only Mu Tianbo and Chang Yu were left in the room again, but Mu Tianbo was a little confused: "At least she will think that the many chieftain coalition forces here can easily defeat me. Bikui, why would you sell this favor to her in exchange for Sha Dingzhou's life?"
"I have some doubts, but I can't find any flaws." Chang Yu is confident: "She will think of reasons for us. For example, although we have the ability to pacify Wu Bikui ourselves, we are worried about Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan. We had to send troops to guard against that side, so we had to sell him a bargain, and it just so happened that Yang Weizhi led his troops to Huichuan Guard at this moment, and it can be said that there are no flaws!"
"Does Eunuch Chang think she will come in person?" Mu Tianbo asked again.
Chang Yu asked back: "If it were the Duke of the country, would you come?"
"No" Mu Tianbo shook his head: "The risk is too great!"
"Neither can I" Chang Yu smiled.
"Isn't that..." Mu Tianbo frowned, and Chang Yu interrupted him: "It doesn't matter whether she comes or not. As long as Ruan Yunjia comes, it means that she is willing to save the thief Sha Dingzhou, or at least has the intention to cooperate. ”.
Ruan Yunjia could not have arrived so quickly, but someone suddenly came to the door. Although he did not come in the middle of the night like Yang Weizhi, he arrived after the city gate was closed after dark. This person was Wu Bikui, the chieftain of Yuanmou who rebelled a while ago!
Wu Bikui actually has the guts to come to the door?
There is no other way, it’s just forced by the situation!
Just like Sha Dingzhou, he had to survive. Otherwise, he had only two options, either to be killed or to flee his hometown.
He didn't want to choose either of these paths!
So he chose the path Mu Tianbo gave him, admitting his guilt, accepting his punishment, and atone for his sins!
Moreover, Zhou Kui had deceived him into letting his guard down before that. He had repeatedly promised that as long as he was willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, he would survive. He could also find other chieftains to testify. Therefore, before entering the city, he took him to the military camp of Long Zaitian and others. , those chieftains were willing to go with him into the city to vouch for him, which made Wu Bikui completely relieved.
But what made Chang Yu and Mu Tianbo dumbfounded was that Wu Bikui was really kneeling outside the gate of Prince Mu's palace, shirtless and carrying a thorn stick: "I'm guilty, I deserve to die the most. Please give me a chance to change my mind." …”
Wu Bikui was crying at the door with snot and tears. He was so emotional that he slapped himself hard, causing his nose to bleed. Mu Tianbo just watched his performance quietly, while Chang Yu thought it was funny and pitiful. It was a bit cold and raining. This guy had a lot of blood streaks cut by thorns on his back and was shivering from the cold. It was really pitiful.
"For your own selfish reasons, you trapped the people in the flames of war. Do you think you are guilty!" Mu Tianbo shouted angrily?
"The villain knows his crime and knows his crime!"
"Can you accept the punishment?"
"Young man accepts punishment." Wu Bikui kowtows like garlic, with blood pouring from his forehead, and his attitude is very sincere. This is also a bitter trick taught to him by Zhou Ding, but he doesn't know that Mu Tianbo has known about it for a long time, but he just acted as a double act. This guy is completely fooled. Still in the dark.
"Since you accept the punishment, you will be worthy of death." Mu Tianbo shouted angrily, took a step forward and kicked him in the head. He pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and was about to kill him, but was stopped by Zhou Ding, Long Zaitian and others: "Master Guo, The overall situation is paramount, and he is already aware that he was wrong, so give him a chance..."
Hi! Mu Tianbo stomped his feet angrily, threw the knife to the ground, pointed at Wu Bikui and cursed: "If the current situation were not unfavorable, and I don't want Yunnan to be in chaos, I would kill you today!"
"I thank the Duke for his life. I thank the Duke for his life." Wu Bikui climbed up to Mu Tianbo and kowtowed again: "The Duke has left me a life to continue to serve you. I am willing to be punished. I will punish you no matter what the Duke." recognize……"
He was already a little incoherent, and even Zhou Ding couldn't figure out whether this guy was following the bitter trick he suggested, or whether he was acknowledging his mistakes and accepting punishment from the bottom of his heart.
Later in the night, the rain started to fall heavily. In the study room of Prince Mu's Mansion, Wu Bikui quickly changed his clothes, but the bruises and swelling on his face were still there. They were all caused by his own injuries. Besides him, there was also Long. Tian, Lu Yongming and Chang Yu.
They are about to start planning Shadingzhou!
At least Wu Bikui thought so innocently, but Chang Yu and Mu Tianbo were planning to plot with him. But how to make him not doubt it? Then treat him with all your heart and soul, at least let him feel that you have done so. Lungs.
"Sha Dingzhou is in prison at the moment. In order to survive, he wants to trap and kill the Wan family and attack you in exchange. We pretend to agree. Next, he will contact the Wan family to use troops against you, and may even secretly instigate you. Take the opportunity to join forces to counterattack." Mu Tianbo looked at Wu Bikui and chuckled. Wu Bikui was startled: "Even if the kid has a hundred courages, he will not commit rebellion. The sand thieves can't even think of dragging the kid into trouble... "
"If he wants to win over you, he won't be in a hurry to refuse. You can just use the trick to catch him by surprise." Chang Yu took over the words. If nothing unexpected happens, the Wan family will soon agree to cooperate. At that time, he will send troops to Yuanmou to attack you. , Wu Bikui said, really let him fight?
"Of course, if she doesn't hit you, how can you hit him?" Chang Yu chuckled and tapped his fingers on the table. Wu Bikui reacted: "Are you talking about taking advantage of the situation after he sent troops?" Kill him from the void?"
"That's right, as long as you level Mengzi and wipe out all your previous mistakes, it's not impossible for you to resume your position as hereditary chieftain again!" Mu Tianbo drew the cake at the right time. Wu Bikui was overjoyed, but also a little worried: "Little We spent all our troops to attack Mengzi, but Yuanmou came up empty-handed. Didn’t she get an advantage?"
"Do you think we are just decorations?" Long Zaitian and Lu Yongming laughed and scolded. Wu Bikui immediately realized that this was a big game with pitfalls everywhere.
Once the Wan family reaches a cooperation agreement with Mu Tianbo, they will send troops to attack Yuanmou. At this time, Wu Bikui has led his troops to bypass her and attack Mengzi. When Wan family arrives at Yuanmou, other coalition forces are already waiting for her, and even before When he heard that the chicken had been stolen and returned to the army, he had been flanked!
This is a game of chess that Wu Bikui saw!
What he couldn't see was that when Chang Yu and Mu Tianbo were plotting against Sha Dingzhou, they were also plotting against him. In this battle against each other, he, like Sha Dingzhou and the Wan family, must die.
Playing chess is very difficult. In this game, it is not easy for the players at all. The first step is to make both Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui feel that they can atone for their sins, survive and be willing to cooperate. The second step To make Wanshi believe that cooperation can be achieved and be willing to cooperate, the third step is for both sides to send troops to attack the other side's territory according to the steps they planned. The fourth step is that Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou must die in the hands of the other side. In this way, Mu The palace cannot let others go back on their word and break their trust.
Right now, this game of chess has just finished the first step.
