"Actually, this junior will not take this secret letter from the general in vain. Before, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and talked to Han Zeng about the possibility that the general might collude with some people in our court. In order to gain his trust, I Promise him that he will get evidence from the general about the general's collusion with the enemy and treason, so that he can use it to deal with the general. And my plan may be a little complicated, I wonder if the general will listen carefully?"
When Fu Zuoliang heard what Shao Xi said, he immediately became interested.
"Appreciate further details."
After sorting out his thoughts, Shao Xi said to Fu Zuoliang: "The junior's idea is this. Like the general, Han Zeng has been in the court for many years and has many close followers. If we use ordinary means, we may not be able to collect him. Evidence of crime, so I thought of a way to make progress by retreating, and at the same time I planned to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. However, this matter requires the cooperation of the general, and the general will suffer some injustice."
Seeing Shao Xi's confident look, Fu Zuoliang couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what method Master Shao has in mind? Now I know that you are pretending to cooperate with him, pretending to collect my criminal evidence to gain his trust. , are you planning to stage a cruel trick with me to confuse him, and then defraud him of his evidence?"
Shao Xi raised his hand to Fu Zuoliang and said with admiration: "The general is wise! This is what I planned. First of all, since everyone already believed that the attack on the mission was done by the general, Han Zeng also tried his best. We have tried our best to create all kinds of evidence to prove that it was the general who did it, so we will simply use this to give him an opportunity to attack the general. The general also needs to say hello to Commander Na Xu in advance and let him have a chance to be punished. I was prepared to be wronged. Then I took the secret letter the general gave me to obtain evidence that he secretly colluded with someone inside me. At the same time, I used the secret letter from the general as evidence to make him insist that the general Collusion with foreign nations.”
When Fu Zuoliang heard this, he lost his composure and said with some displeasure: "In this case, wouldn't the Holy Lord think that I have rebellious intentions? Wouldn't this push me to a dead end? How does your idea sound? It’s not like you’re helping me, but you’re helping Han Zeng?”
Shao Xi saw that Fu Zuoliang was a little anxious, so he quickly explained: "General, please rest assured that there is no loss in the attack on the mission. If the younger generation deliberately wants to suppress this matter, it should not be difficult. In addition, before that, I I will definitely find an opportunity to explain this matter to your Holy Lord in private. I believe that as long as your little emperor is not confused, he will definitely understand that Han Zeng is the one who really wants to control the government. When the time comes, he will cooperate with you and me. First, stabilize Han Zeng, and pretend to magnify the general, causing the general to temporarily leave the court. At the same time, let the red and purple flag guards in the capital leave the capital together with the general. In this way, only the general is left in the capital. Without the black flag guards and yellow flag guards, Han Zeng will have no soldiers to use. When he is the only one in the court, he will definitely relax his vigilance. We only need to wait for him to make a mistake and grasp his subsequent criminal evidence to find an opportunity to bring him down in one fell swoop. However, this period of time may not be too short, and I hope the general can bear his temper."
Fu Zuoliang fell silent again, with a worried look on his face. He seemed to be thinking about whether Shao Xi's plan was feasible?
"Master Shao, your plan is indeed very risky. At present, I can still compete with you in the court. If I leave the court and he takes over the power alone, won't the Holy Lord be completely controlled by him?"
Shao Xi nodded. He could understand Fu Zuoliang's worries. After all, if he didn't retreat well, he might retreat to a dead end.
"The general's worries are not unreasonable, but this plan is to risk his life and survive. An old fox like Han Zeng is so cunning. If the general is still in the court, he will definitely be cautious, step by step, and will not reveal the slightest flaw. Come on, if we want to catch this fat fish like him, we must throw in the bait, otherwise how could he take the bait? With the general’s prestige in the army, the red and purple flag guards brought out would not be interested in the general. If it poses any threat, the black and yellow flag guards remaining in the capital can pretend to surrender to Han Zeng and save them for critical moments. In this way, Han Zeng will definitely get carried away and become careless. As long as he relaxes, we will catch him sooner or later. Sore feet."
Fu Zuoliang finally understood Shao Xi's intention. He tied a big bag and took Han Zeng into it. Putting aside the civil and military officials in the court, in the circle centered on the little emperor, Shao Xi brought everyone together and made a special game for Han Zeng.
Except for himself, everyone else openly sided with Han Zeng, but secretly everyone was plotting against Han Zeng.
On the grounds of monitoring his movements, he sent Han Zeng's two most trusted flag guards to his side, while his two trusted flag guards stayed behind and pretended to join Han Zeng, giving Han Zeng a feeling that he was being betrayed by his people. Monitoring, and his two most trusted flag guards separated from him and switched to his command.
After this operation, on the surface, he was alone and without any threat. Han Zeng has since gained control of the power in North Korea and China. But in fact, he himself became truly alone, with no troops available at the critical moment.
However, what worries Fu Zuoliang the most is whether the little emperor can be persuaded by Shao Xi? How did the two flag guards who stayed in the capital gain Han Zeng's trust? How could Han Zeng agree to take the two flag guards he wanted to take away smoothly? These are all matters of detail. If one operation is improper, all previous efforts may be in vain.
When Fu Zuoliang expressed these doubts, Shao Xi smiled and persuaded him not to worry. These things had already been thought of for him in advance.
First of all, it can be confirmed that the little emperor is not a stupid person, but has been smart and thoughtful since he was a child. Over the years, it seemed that Fu Zuoliang controlled the government and acted arbitrarily, but it was Han Zeng who was really always around the little emperor.
On the surface, it seemed that Han Zeng wanted to seek the opinion of the young emperor on many things, but in fact, most of the time it was Han Zeng who made the decisions, and he just pretended to follow the emperor's orders in everything.
As the person involved, the little emperor should know this better than anyone else. What he has experienced personally does not need to be reminded by others. At this time, all it takes is one person to light the fire and intensify the dissatisfaction with Han Zeng in the little emperor's heart.
Secondly, if the black and yellow flag guards want to gain Han Zeng's trust, they still have to perform another bitter trick.
Since the previous attack on the mission had been framed on Xu Yinbiao through Han Xiao, it would be better to let Fu Zuoliang find an excuse to blame Xu Yinbiao. The impression left on outsiders was that Xu Yinbiao failed to assassinate the envoy and was punished by Fu Zuoliang, but the impression left on Han Zeng was that Fu Zuoliang believed Xu Yinbiao's assassination was true and was angry with him for taking action on his own and acting privately. discipline.
In this way, it becomes reasonable and reasonable for Xu Yinbiao to express his dissatisfaction with Fu Zuoliang and encourage Zhou Hong to join Han Zeng. In this way, when Xu Yinbiao and Zhou Hong expressed their loyalty to Han Zeng, Han Zeng would not have too many doubts.
As for the troops led by Han Xiao and Jiang He, as long as Shao Xi reminds Han Zeng, Han Zeng will feel that Fu Zuoliang has been in control of the military for so many years and has a high prestige in the army. Now he is If you don't have someone you trust around you to monitor you at all times, you will definitely feel uneasy. At this time, Shao Xi suggested that the red and purple flag guards should be placed next to Fu Zuoliang for surveillance or custody. Han Zeng would not be suspicious.
In fact, once these two soldiers and horses were taken out by Fu Zuoliang, they only needed to hold down the commanders of the two flag guards, and it was impossible for the sergeants below to resist Fu Zuoliang. This is actually equivalent to transferring the only available troops and horses in Han Zeng's hands away from him in disguise. Only when the cards are finally turned over, he will find that the two troops and horses left by his side are actually used by Fu Zuoliang to monitor and take care of him. of.
As long as we proceed step by step according to Shao Xi's arrangement, if nothing happens, we will definitely be able to bring Han Zeng into the situation.
When he thought he had gained power, squeezed Fu Zuoliang out of the center of power in the capital, and took control of the little emperor and the black and yellow flag guards, in fact everyone around him was pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, waiting for him Make your own mistakes.
This is what Shao Xi told Fu Zuoliang at the beginning: retreat in order to advance, and play hard to get.
Instead of confronting him tit-for-tat and forcing him to be cautious, it is better to show weakness and make him lower his guard. When a person is proud, he will be lucky in doing things. If he is lucky, he will definitely make mistakes. If he is given a little guidance at this time, he will run all the way on this wrong road without realizing it. By the time it was discovered, it was too late.
Listening to Shao Xi's plan, Fu Zuoliang began to sweat on his head. He thought that a young man from the Jingyuan Dynasty had such deep thoughts and deceitful plans. If one day he really became an enemy of the Jingyuan Empire, Will they use the same method to deal with themselves? Fortunately, I had only verbally opposed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries before, and the northward expansion that I had always advocated had never been implemented. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have been so plotted by others that I would lose my life one day without even knowing it. Victimized by whom?
The Central Plains is indeed full of talented people, and it cannot be compared with it in terms of military strategy. Maybe it was a mistake to advocate using troops to the Central Plains back then. Fortunately, Shao Xi is on his side this time.
Fu Zuo knew very well that he probably couldn't refuse this cooperation. If he chose to refuse at this time, Shao Xi would join forces with Han Zeng to deal with him. This was obvious.
The two important ministers in Southern Zhao were at odds with each other, and Shao Xi made it clear that he wanted to get rid of one of them. When the bright cards are revealed and they are being played against you, you have to fight them even if you want them to, and you have to fight them even if you don't. Whether it is for Nan Zhao or for himself, Fu Zuoliang must choose to cooperate with Shao Xi.
Thinking of this, Fu Zuoliang gave up all other thoughts and decided to cooperate with Shao Xi on this dangerous plan. As long as Han Zeng can be eliminated, even if Fu Zuoliang knows Shao Xi's little thoughts, he has no choice but to do anything.
So he got up and walked to the back hall. After a while, he walked out with a letter and handed it to Shao Xi.
Shao Xi opened the letter, and after just a few glances, his eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Lao Wu beside him.
"Sure enough, it's him! Sure enough, it's him again!"
When Fu Zuoliang heard what Shao Xi said, he asked in surprise: "What? Could it be that Lord Shao had already guessed it was him?"
Shao Xi nodded silently and handed the letter in his hand to Lao Wu.
Not only Fu Zuoliang, but also Shao Xi found Lao Wu's expression a little strange after reading the letter.
Some people died, but not completely...
