As Changsun Wuji listened to Changsun Anshi's introduction to Wang Xuanying's military strength, his face became darker and darker. In the end, he couldn't help but cursed: "Wang Shichong is a tycoon after all. How could he have such a useless son? Even my own nest can be emptied by others!"
The eldest grandson Anshi sighed helplessly, and persuaded the eldest grandson Wuji: "Why should the auxiliary engine be so angry about this matter? As long as there is civil strife in Luoyang, His Highness King Qin can take the opportunity to defeat Wang Shichong's main force in one fell swoop. As for what kind of chaos Luoyang will be, you don't know. Why should you care?"
"No, Luoyang must not be controlled by the Sui army. We must keep Wang Xuanying."
Changsun Wuji said categorically: "Once Meng Gong captures the entire Luoyang, Xue Rengui from the Central Plains will definitely lead the main force of the Sui army to march westward. At that time, it will be difficult for us to capture Luoyang. On the contrary, if we keep Wang Xuanying, That is equivalent to planting a nail in Luoyang. After capturing Hongnong, His Highness the King of Qin will also let Wang Shichong live and let him return to Luoyang to fight the Sui army, and we can reap the benefits."
The eldest grandson Anshi sighed and said: "I am not attacking my virtuous brother. According to my observations for many days, although Meng Gong is not well-known, he is definitely a rare and good general. Just based on Wang Xuanying, even if the two men's positions are Either way, I wouldn’t be optimistic about Wang Xuanying.”
Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Then capture the thief first and capture the king first, and kill Meng Gong and other Sui army generals first. The Sui army is leaderless for a while, and we should be able to hold on for Wang Xuanying until Wang Shichong comes back!"
The eldest grandson Anshi asked suspiciously: "Did Brother Xian plan to ask my brother to propose suggestions to Wang Xuanying and arrange a Hongmen Banquet for Meng Gong and others?"
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Meng Gong just refused Wang Xuanying's request to withdraw from Luoyang. At this time, he must be wary of Wang Xuanying and will never come to the banquet."
"Then what are you going to do, brother Xian? It's impossible to go to the military camp and assassinate him, right?"
"There are so many powerful generals in the Sui army. If Meng Gong can't protect him, what kind of generals will there be? And I don't have many manpower in Luoyang now! What's more, if Meng Gong is suddenly assassinated, then Wang Xuanying must be aware of our existence, and maybe he will do it because of this. And temporarily give up the idea of falling out with the Sui army."
Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face: "The only way is to lure him out and then use Wang Xuanying's hand to kill him!"
The eldest grandson Anshi shrugged and said, "But didn't the wise brother just say that Meng Gong was wary of Wang Xuanying and wouldn't fall for it easily?"
"If you want to catch big fish, you must use scented erbium!"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said to Changsun Anshi: "Immediately tie me up and go to see Wang Xuanying. Make a big noise. It is best to make it known to everyone in Luoyang. Then you take the opportunity to propose a plan to Wang Xuanying. On the pretext of getting important information from me, they lured Meng Gong here and took the opportunity to kill him."
The eldest grandson Anshi was shocked when he heard this and said: "No, absolutely not! Although Meng Gong can be killed in this way, it is very likely that you, dear brother, will be killed by Wang Xuanying. Anyway, it is to attract Meng Gong, so I can directly By offering this plan to Wang Xuanying, there is no need to actually hand you over."
Changsun Wuji shook his head firmly: "Your offering advice to Wang Xuanying for no reason will only make people suspicious. Only by handing me over to Wang Xuanying can you gain his absolute trust."
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly as he spoke, and said: "Moreover, I am the chief counselor of His Highness King Qin. Now that the Tang army is suppressing the country, Wang Xuanying may be afraid of my identity and not kill me for the time being. As long as Luoyang City is in chaos, you will You can rescue me during the chaos."
Changsun Anshi was not as optimistic as Changsun Wuji. He still said worriedly: "But what if Wang Xuanying kills you on the spot? Maybe Wang Xuanying has other plans to temporarily spare your life because of your identity. But you Don’t forget, Tang Jun and Wang Shichong have fought countless battles, large and small, over the years. Their hatred for each other is very deep, and the possibility of him killing you on the spot is not small!"
"Then it can only be said that God refuses to bless my grandson Wuji!"
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, and then showed a resolute expression: "Shimin treats me with all his heart and treats me like a brother. I will definitely complete the tasks he entrusts me, even if it means death!"
The eldest grandson Anshi stared at the eldest grandson Wuji for a long time and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you."
After a pause, he spoke again: "If you survive this catastrophe, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your father's. Driving you and Wu Gu out of the Changsun family is the worst thing that the Changsun family has done in the past few decades. The most stupid thing ever."
After the death of his father, Changsun Sheng, Changsun Wuji, his sister Changsun Wugao and their mother were kicked out of the house by their half-brother Changsun Anye.
But at that time, Changsun Wuji's uncles and brothers, such as the eldest grandson Anshi in front of him, all looked at each other with cold eyes and watched the mother and son in trouble. If it hadn't been for the kindhearted uncle Gao Shilian who took his mother home and adopted the two brothers and sisters, they would have starved to death on the streets.
This matter has always been a pain in Changsun Wuji's heart. Now that he heard Changsun Anshi's tactful apology, Changsun Wuji felt a sore nose. He suppressed his emotions, nodded and said: "If I survive this disaster, I think we can still be together in the same palace ten years later." minister!"
. . . . . . . . . .
An hour later, inside Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Changsun Wuji, who was tied up with five flowers, stood with his head held high in the center of the outer hall, surrounded by several officials, old and young, all of whom had interacted with Changsun Wuji in the past.
Several people observed Changsun Wuji carefully for a long time, and then they all raised their hands to Wang Xuanying who was sitting at the top and said: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee with my head that this person is Changsun Wuji without a doubt!"
"Hahaha!"
When Wang Xuanying heard this, he laughed wildly and said to his eldest grandson Anshi, who was standing aside: "Master eldest grandson is really loyal to our Wang family. Even his own brothers can't shake your loyalty to our Wang family."
The eldest grandson, An Shi, smiled slightly: "It's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Although Wuji is my direct cousin, we are each our own masters now. How can An Shi dare to dethrone the public servant for personal gain?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Wang Xuanying nodded with satisfaction towards his eldest grandson Anshi, then turned his gaze to eldest grandson Wuji, and said coldly: "Changsun Wuji, I'm afraid you didn't expect that you would fall into my hands, right?"
"The villain succeeds!"
Changsun Wuji snorted disdainfully, glared at Changsun Anshi and said, "If this ruthless and unjust guy hadn't betrayed me, you would never have caught me in this life!"
"You dare to speak harshly even when you are about to die!"
Wang Xuanying suddenly became furious. He slapped the table and said, "Come here, drag Changsun Wuji out and behead him. Hang his head at the palace gate and tell them that this is what they will get if they work for Tang Gou!"
