Since Wang Laogangzhi has accepted the recruitment, why does he continue to stay in Erlang Mountain and still consider himself a bandit?
Let’s start from the beginning!
The reason why Wang Laogangzi was secretly recruited by Song Wenhui, or the reason why he was recruited, was because he was entrenched on Erlang Mountain, occupying this key geographical location, and holding a force of three thousand soldiers with fairly good combat effectiveness. horse.
The distance between Erlang Mountain and Guangning Mansion, the home of the Cui family, is less than a hundred miles. As long as Wang Laozhi is willing, he can lead his troops to attack Guangning Mansion within a day and threaten the safety of the Cui family!
Therefore, as long as Wang Lao Guangzi stays on Erlang Mountain for a day, the Cui family must concentrate a lot of energy to deal with him, and the family's manpower and material resources will be constrained.
From this perspective, Wang Laozizhi is a poisonous thorn in the heart of the Cui family, threatening the safety of the Cui family at any time...
For their own safety, the Cui family certainly wanted to pull out this poisonous thorn. Although no one in the family directly led the army, the Cui family still mobilized their own network of contacts to prompt the official army to conduct three sieges on Erlang Mountain where Wang Laogangzi was located. , among which the third encirclement and suppression campaign mobilized more than 20,000 troops.
However, hindered by the natural dangers of Erlang Mountain, these three sieges all ended in failure.
Not only did he fail to destroy Wang Laogangzi, but he helped Wang Laogangzi and made a name for himself in Liaoyang!
Over the years, under the leadership of Cui Shao, the head of the Cui family, the family's strength can be said to be flourishing. They have made further progress, not only in terms of strength, they have left behind the Gongsun family and the Yun family, both of which are among the three clans in Liaoyang. Jie, it also has a strong appeal among the nobles!
In addition to possessing powerful power, although the Cui family appears to be subordinate to Governor Song Wenhui, they are actually extremely independent. The family is also tightly united around the head of the family, Cui Shao. Therefore, Song Wenhui can exert an extremely strong influence on the Cui family. limited.
The emergence of a powerful and uncontrollable force under the rule is difficult for any superior to accept. Although this force behaves very low-key and has an unassuming style, it seems harmless to both humans and animals.· ··········
Although under the leadership of Cui Shao, the Cui family has tried its best to cover up its own edge, Song Wenhui, who has a strong desire to control power, still feels the threat from the Cui family. In order to check and balance the Cui family, he found a secret to recruit Wang Lao The stick, let this poisonous thorn at the heart of the Cui family be used by him to tie up the Cui family for him!
Although Song Wenhui's move was hidden, the Cui family, as a local snake, was certainly aware of Song Wenhui's move.
However, it is true that Wang Laogangzi cannot be eradicated. Secondly, as Song Wenhui's deployment, his actions are controlled by Song Wenhui, so the Cui family can only be forced to make a choice, to hide this matter and swallow this bad breath silently. inside.
After learning about this matter through the Supervision Department, Ye Mingsheng immediately realized that he could make a fuss around this Wang Lao stick and sow discord between Song Wenhui and the Cui family, which was not a very reliable relationship of mutual trust!
This is why Ye Mingsheng is willing to speed up the recruitment negotiations with Guo Zhiping even though he knows that he can suppress the price in Guo Zhiping's hands during the recruitment and security negotiations!
The grudge between Guo Zhiping and Wang Lao stick will be his biggest weapon against Wang Lao stick!
Let me ask you what would happen if he, Ye, solved the problem of Wang Lao Stick and the Sword of Damocles that Song Wenhui placed on their heads for the Cui family?
Ye Mingsheng believed that after hearing the news, Song Wenhui would have a question in his heart!
That's why you do this?
Song Wenhui's first reaction must have been some agreement reached between Zhenwu Army and the Cui family? Is the Cui family going to unite with the Zhenwu Army?
After this second reaction, Song Wenhui will start to think about what the Cui family will do next without Wang Laozhi to restrain them?
Will he join forces with the Zhenwu Army to completely resist him?
For Song Wenhui, a vassal prince who has dominated Liaoyang for decades, the Gongsun family's backstabbing has revealed the decline of his rule in Liaoyang...
In order to deal with the Gongsun family, Song Wenhui has concentrated all his energy, but he has been unable to deal with the Gongsun family.
And if the Cui family counterattacks at this time, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Song Wenhui's regime. As long as Song Wenhui still doesn't want to admit defeat, he has no other choice but to choose a big showdown and start fighting for his life.
Therefore, in order to prevent Song Wenhui from being caught off guard by the Cui family's rebellion, he would definitely concentrate his original strength to prepare for dealing with the Gongsun family, and allocate some to defend the Cui family.
As a result, the siege of Gongsun's family was resolved, and Ye Mingsheng's strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao was successful!
However, Ye Mingsheng's move was not just as simple as encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. He was very deliberate and wasted so much effort. He also had a deeper purpose...
Ye Mingsheng was in the room and did not wait too long. Cui Dakai found him. After taking a deep look at Ye Mingsheng, he said:
"The master of the house is waiting for you in the study!"
Seeing that the other party was finally ready to have a good talk with him, Ye Mingsheng was naturally happy to go.
Under the guidance of Cui Dakai, Ye Mingsheng came to Cui Shao's study. Looking at Cui Shao, whose face was still as calm as water and looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, he smiled slightly and sat down on Cui Shao before Cui Shao could speak. On the chair opposite.
The two looked at each other like this for a few seconds, neither of them said anything. Faced with Cui Shao's powerful aura and intimidating gaze, Ye Mingsheng did not waver at all, and his eyes did not dodge in any way.
After a stalemate for nearly ten seconds, Cui Shao nodded slightly, seeming to recognize Ye Mingsheng's performance, and broke the silence and said:
"Can you tell me how you attacked Erlang Mountain?"
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he didn't try to be mysterious and said directly;
"It's very simple. One of my subordinates has a grudge against Wang Lao Sticki. I used my subordinates and a lot of money as bait to lure Wang Lao Sticki down the mountain, and then concentrated my superior forces to ambush him.
"It's not difficult for my seven thousand men to defeat his three thousand men. One hour is enough to end the battle. Once Wang Laogangzi is dead, the remaining remnants on Erlang Mountain will not be able to do anything!"
Cui Shao fell into silence when he heard this. He didn't seem to have thought that Wang Laozhi, who had been bothering him for several years, would be solved so easily by this young man who looked about the same age as his son. This made him Unable to help it, I let out a sigh from the bottom of my heart.
"The next generation is to be feared..."
