Zhuge Changmin frowned slightly and looked at Wang Xuanmo: "What can you do to help me break the city and get to it first?"
Wang Xuanmo smiled and said: "The kind of throwing stones and arrows when the two armies are fighting is one way I have always said, but this move is just the beginning. If the Yan army suffers heavy losses at the top of the city, they will speed up the dispatch of reinforcements to the top of the city, and At this time, their defense will be mobilized and other areas will be empty. At this time, our opportunity will come."
Zhuge Changmin's heart suddenly moved: "Could it be that there is Fatty's internal agent in this city? For example, opening the city gate or something?"
The corner of Wang Xuanmo's mouth curled up strangely: "That is Liu Changshi's arrangement. I am only here to take care of it. In fact, he should already know the layout of the city. If he didn't know how to communicate with it, Wherever people are defending, why would they let me come here?”
Zhuge Changmin laughed: "I'm really lucky. The direction I attacked happened to meet the fat man's internal response. But how did the fat man know that this person would definitely come to Dongcheng? Could it be that the black robe's thoughts and Fatty also knows about the arrangement?"
Wang Xuanmo shook his head: "This is not something I can know. You are also familiar with Liu Changshi's approach. This kind of thing will only make us act in accordance with the order and will not inform the city in advance. The method is left to me, but Brother Changmin, you now have tunnels to attack the city, which Liu Changshi didn't expect. Maybe, without that internal agent, you can directly take over the city!"
Zhuge Changmin nodded with satisfaction: "The fat man is not a god. He can predict everything. He has his internal support, and I have my own soil attack method. However, I still have to thank him. Even if I win the first As for the merits of ascending, he also needs his help for the post-war arrangements. Send the slave, uh, Marshal Liu probably wants Ah Shou to be here. I'm afraid even if I take Guanggu City, I may not be allowed to guard it here. .”
Wang Xuanmo said calmly: "Liu Changshi said that after Guanggu is captured, the entire army will return to fight the demon thieves. Due to emotions and reasons, a strong general like Liu Guanjun is the helper the commander needs most. In addition, you have made great contributions. , if you cooperate with me, a local scholar, to guard Guanggu, even the commander-in-chief can’t fault it. I just don’t know if Brother Changmin himself has the will to guard Guanggu for a long time?”
Zhuge Changmin smiled and patted Wang Xuanmo on the shoulder: "Xuanmo, since you are willing to tell me such a confidential matter, what else can I hide from you? You also know that I, Zhuge Changmin, follow The other Beifu generals are different, and they are even different from the general. They fight for their own ideals and for their own honor. Of course, it was my ideal as a boy to join the army and serve the country with meritorious deeds, but for me For me, what’s more important is real wealth.”
Wang Xuanmo smiled slightly: "Brother Changmin, every time you take up an official position, you will buy properties and amass wealth. Of course, you will also recruit many veterans with strong martial arts skills, such as the elite swordsmen that Brother Limin took away just now. Many of these people you recruited were originally disciples of Tianshi Dao."
Zhuge Changmin nodded: "Yes, I am not a marshal. I don't have the power and prestige like him. I am not Brother Xile. With so much industry and wealth, I can only rely on myself. Everyone in the world calls me Zhuge Changmin." I am greedy for money and profit, and exploit the people, but I don't want to think about it. Is it just for myself to occupy more fields and raise more people? If I take over and manage these fields and industries, it is better than those children of aristocratic families who just eat and drink all day long. Be strong to the death."
Wang Xuanmo smiled and said: "Liu Changshi knows Brother Changmin's thoughts very well. He told me that this Qilu land is a newly expanded territory. If it is left to Liu Guanjun and the others to take care of it, it will be The local big families such as the Yang family, the Han family, and the Feng family continue to occupy land and encircle people. This is no different from before. In the future, Marshal Liu will make great contributions and regain all the lost land in the world during the Northern Expedition. This must ensure that the land of Qilu must be controlled. In the hands of our own people!”
Zhuge Changmin laughed and nodded: "That's great. I, Zhuge Changmin, joined the army with Marshal Liu, trained together, and lived and died together for decades. I am not one of our own, so who else is? Ashou He is good at charging into battle, but when it comes to running the country, hehe, he is far inferior to me. If he is appointed as the governor here, it will definitely give space to the local wealthy people, such as..."
At this point, his expression suddenly changed slightly: "The insider contacted by the fat man should be the powerful local Han people. It is impossible for him to have anything to do with the Xianbei people."
Wang Xuanmo said sternly: "Brother Changmin, there is no need to make wild guesses about this kind of thing. If these internal agents are really used, we will naturally know when the time comes. What I want to say is what Liu Changshi, including Wang and Queen, meant. This land of Qingzhou was finally won with great difficulty. It cannot fall into the hands of these local noble families again. Otherwise, once the army withdraws, I am afraid that this place will no longer belong to our Jin Dynasty. You are the most suitable person to take charge of this place. As you said, Liu Guanjun is very brave, but he is simple and may be deceived by these local wealthy families."
"If you can use up these local Qingzhou soldiers and horses during the siege this time, and then leave Qingzhou for you afterwards, that would be a great benefit to the Jin Dynasty. Liu Guanjun himself wants to stay here. If you insist on fighting with him, , I am afraid that it will make things difficult for the commander, so only by capturing Guanggu and winning the first victory can you have the confidence to stay here, and only then can I stay by your side with this assistance."
Zhuge Changmin laughed: "Of course that's what I want. Brother Wang, I, Zhuge Changmin, have some skills in fighting and some experience in government, but I am not familiar with this land of Qilu. You are the Wang family of Taiyuan. Although my status is noble, I am suppressed by the local big families here, but you can rest assured that as long as I am here, the benefits will be indispensable to you. When the time comes, how much land you want and how many people you want to recruit are all a matter of words."
Wang Xuanmo nodded vigorously: "I, Wang Xuanmo, am so lucky to be able to serve the country with Brother Changmin in the future. I know all about the details of the powerful local families. When they came to join the army, they didn't love the Jin Dynasty very much. It's just that It's because the Yan army was defeated miserably in the battle of Linqu. They felt that Nan Yan must perish. In order to protect their own family interests, they came here just to make a gesture. Their intentions were not sincere. In the future, we can use their names to liquidate many names. The land and population that were previously privately hidden have been taken over, oh, no, Brother Changmin is the one to take care of it for the Jin Dynasty, and I can help you with this inventory task."
