Wang Ji finally visited the Zhang Mansion.
Go there shamelessly.
After this visit, Wang Ji felt that he probably would not have the shame to face people from the Zhang family again in this life. His face had already been exhausted.
But there is really no way.
If you want to use a trick, you only have these few days. Once the Sun brothers' West Route Army arrives and joins Lü Meng, Wang Ji wants to use a trick to burn down Lü Meng's food and grass, but his troops are not enough.
Now Lu Meng only has 35,000 people outside Jiangling South City, and he has 12,000 people in his own hands. He can still have some confidence in planning to burn food when he goes out of the city.
Once the Sun brothers led their troops to join Lu Meng, there would be a total of 55,000 people. Is it difficult to allocate 5,000 people to guard the granary? !
So Wang Ji shamelessly visited Sun Shangxiang and asked Sun Shangxiang to come forward and reprimand Lu Meng for betraying the alliance and attacking.
Wang Ji never thought of telling Sun Shangxiang his plan. Considering that Sun Shangxiang was Sun Quan's sister after all, if he knew his plan and did not cooperate with him, or pretended to cooperate with him, but revealed the plan in front of the battle, then Wang Ji would not Any way.
After all, Sun Shangxiang was still Zhang Xi's wife. Even if the secret was leaked before the battle, Wang Ji could not kill her, so it was better not to tell her. He only asked Sun Shangxiang to come forward and ask why Lu Meng sent troops to stab her in the back.
This makes sense, after all, it was Jiang Dong who betrayed the alliance first, and this betrayal was tantamount to putting Sun Shangxiang on the fire, and he had no concern for Sun Shangxiang's safety.
It is normal for Sun Shangxiang to question Lu Meng, and Lu Meng cannot avoid it.
As long as Lü Meng is transferred away from the Chinese army, even if the Chinese army is still stationed in place, as long as there is no timely command from Lü Meng, his plan to sneak attack on the rear army's food and grass camp has a high probability of success.
But Wang Ji had just arrived at Zhang Mansion, saw Sun Shangxiang, and asked Sun Shangxiang to come forward to reprimand Lu Meng. After that, Sun Shangxiang quietly replied to Wang Ji.
"You want to ask me to retreat from the enemy, but you don't tell the truth, why?!"
Wang Ji's heart skipped a beat at that time, and he forced himself to calm down and said, "What does Madam mean by this?! What I'm asking for is to ask Jiang Dong why he betrayed the alliance, and I'd like Madam to bear witness."
Sun Shangxiang still had a sullen face and said to Wang Ji, "If you don't continue to lie like this, I will forgive you for the inconvenience of entertaining Qibao and see you off!"
After saying this, Sun Shangxiang stood up and walked to the back room without looking back.
Wang Ji became anxious and quickly called out to Sun Shangxiang, clasping his fists and cupping his hands to ask for forgiveness.
Then, after much hesitation, Wang Ji gritted his teeth, revealed his plan, and repeatedly asked Sun Shangxiang for help.
If this person doesn't agree, then in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, Wang Ji can only have people surround Zhang's house, and then ask Zhang Xi for forgiveness later.
After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang's expression did not change at all, because Sun Shangxiang already knew about this.
It's not that Wang Ji didn't do a good job keeping secrets, it's because Sun Shangxiang has a spy around him.
Yesterday, Wang Ji and Shi Bao visited Guan Xing and asked Guan Xing to lead troops to help in the battle. They also told Guan Xing their plans.
After Guan Xing agreed, he sent Wang Ji and Shi Bao away and returned to the backyard, feeling quite excited.
After all, it’s the first time to go into battle and kill an enemy.
Then Guan Yinping saw Guan Xing's look.
Guan Yinping immediately asked her second brother, who was only one year older than her, and learned that Guan Xing was going to lead the army.
Guan Yinping said on the spot that as members of the Guan family, she would also go on an expedition together to serve the country.
Guan Xing refused on the spot.
Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for women to go to the battlefield? !
Doesn’t that mean that all men in the world are considered useless? !
But Guan Yinping is not convinced. Who says women are inferior to men? !
If you have the ability, let's go to the martial arts training ground and spar? !
Guan Xing didn't dare. With this big girl's brute strength, he really might not be able to beat her.
But Guan Xing didn't dare to let his eldest sister go to the battlefield.
In any era, men have the obligation to protect women. If their daughters are forced to go to war, then men will be too useless.
Guan Xing likes reading, and is somewhat influenced by thoughts in this area. Although he knows that his elder sister is stronger than him, personal bravery may play a role in boosting morale on the battlefield, but in these days, arrows and swords are no longer available. Changyan, if he hurt his eldest sister, how would he explain to his father and eldest brother, how to explain to Zhang Xi and Deng Ai.
Therefore, Guan Xing refused to agree to Guan Yinping's request to go to the battlefield. Guan Yinping was so angry that he ran to Sun Shangxiang for comfort.
After all, they were friends in the beginning.
When Sun Shangxiang came to Zhang Xi and lived in Zhang Xi's house for a month, Guan Yinping was responsible for Sun Shangxiang's protection during this period.
In addition, it is really not easy for Sun Shangxiang to find a female best friend in Jiangling City who also likes martial arts, so Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yinping have always had a good relationship.
Guan Yinping found Sun Shangxiang, and it was a bitter experience. Sun Shangxiang knew everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
So when he heard that Wang Ji came to visit him today, and then thought of his special status, Sun Shangxiang probably guessed the real purpose of Wang Ji's visit.
If you just ask Jiangdong why he betrayed the alliance, why do you need yourself, the little princess of Jiangdong, to come forward? Don't you know that your identity is embarrassing? !
Obviously, Wang Ji wanted to use his identity to set up Lu Meng. Based on the information he got from Guan Yinping yesterday, and thinking about it, how could Sun Shangxiang not know Wang Ji's plan.
Now Wang Jihe revealed his plan and asked for help. Sun Shangxiang fell into hesitation.
Should I help with this matter? !
Seeing Sun Shangxiang's hesitation, Wang Ji immediately began to make plans in his mind.
If Sun Shangxiang refuses immediately, there is basically no chance of success.
But if Sun Shangxiang hesitates, there is room for persuasion.
Wang Ji immediately started thinking about persuasive words.
"Ji also knows that Madam is in trouble, but Madam, the two families of Sun and Liu have always been in good alliance. Now Lü Meng betrays the alliance and attacks, General Sun may not know about it." Wang Ji tried to blame Lü Meng for the sneak attack on Jingzhou.
In this case, Sun Shangxiang's intervention can be regarded as bringing order to the chaos and reprimanding Lu Meng for sending troops without permission to break the alliance. He shouldn't be in trouble, right? !
But Sun Shangxiang said, "Sir, there is no need to cover up for my brother. My second brother has always been self-centered. Even if I do such a thing, I am not surprised."
"."
Madam, it’s hard for me to find steps for you if you’re like this. Wang Ji cursed helplessly.
Fortunately, Sun Shangxiang didn't want to embarrass Wang Ji and continued, "This time I broke the alliance because of Jiangdong, and I don't want to see the two families go to war. Before the Japanese battle, I personally persuaded Lu Meng to return to his teacher. I hope you will not be offended, and let the Jiangdong soldiers leave. If they don't listen, I will let you arrange it."
When Wang Ji heard this, he was silent for a long time, then bowed his head and thanked him.
In fact, everyone knows that Sun Quan sent troops to sneak attack and Lu Meng personally led the army across the river. It is absolutely impossible for him to retreat just because of Sun Shangxiang's words.
Military and national affairs are never mixed with personal opinions.
Sun Shangxiang said this just to find a step for himself to make himself feel better.
In the end, Sun Shangxiang made the choice and sided with Zhang Xi.
In fact, Sun Shangxiang didn't want to be like this, but there were some things that a person of her status couldn't avoid.
Zhang Xi has always loved Sun Shangxiang very much, although sometimes Sun Shangxiang also dislikes this guy for not being formal and not having the aura of a high-ranking person. When they get along in private, this person always likes to say some nonsense. It makes me feel ashamed and annoyed, but I can't stop.
The relationship between the two has always been very good, Zhang Xi has always respected Sun Shangxiang very much, and Sun Shangxiang also relied on Zhang Xi.
However, Zhang Xi would occasionally say something that made Sun Shangxiang unhappy, especially to her second brother. Sun Shangxiang could clearly feel that Zhang Xi did not respect him.
Although Sun Shangxiang himself doesn't necessarily have much respect for him.
But that was always his brother. Zhang Xi spilled a lot. Sometimes when Sun Shangxiang was in a bad mood, the two of them would quarrel about this matter.
Therefore, although Zhang Xi has never said it clearly, Sun Shangxiang is still more or less aware - the Sun and Liu families will always fall out one day in the future.
After all, the lords of both families are committed to competing for the world.
Now that Cao's army is powerful, the two families have to unite. But one day in the future, if Cao's army weakens, then sooner or later the Sun and Liu families will fall out.
Sun Shangxiang was mentally prepared for this, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Sun Shangxiang can indeed choose to be alone. After all, with her transcendent status, she can ensure the safety of herself and her family whether Jiangling City is breached by Jiangdong's army.
But Sun Shangxiang also knew that it didn't matter if Jiangling City was defended. Once Jiangling City was breached, it was very likely that she would never see her husband again and could only take her son and daughter back to Jiangdong.
It was even possible that his second brother would use his children as conditions to set up some conspiracy for his husband. Sun Shangxiang didn't want to see such an ending.
If that's the case, it's really better to make a decision now.
