Send troops to Luoyang?
Indeed, now is the most suitable time.
Nowadays, Wagangzhai has strong soldiers and horses. If it does not use troops externally, I am afraid that this balance will not be maintained for long.
If such a force is not used to deal with foreign enemies, but is instead led to internal strife by someone with ulterior motives.
That would be a pity!
After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, everyone also agreed.
Even Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin were gearing up, saying that they had long wanted to have a big fight.
Xu Xingzhi and Li Jing even offered suggestions one after another, speaking from their respective fields and providing their opinions to Zhao Mingyuan.
Everyone saw that Zhao Mingyuan treated the two of them with such courtesy and entrusted them with important tasks as soon as they arrived. It was obvious that the two of them were quite talented.
But it wasn't until they heard their analysis, involving the impact on politics, military, economy, and people's hearts, that they realized that they were indeed extraordinary, far beyond their expectations.
It was finally understood why Zhao Mingyuan treated the two of them so politely. The rejection of the two people in everyone's hearts gradually disappeared.
Although they are not narrow-minded people, they also know that with Zhao Mingyuan's current reputation, it is inevitable that he will need the support of more talents to complete his great cause.
However, when new people really join and are reused, they still feel inexplicably a little disappointed in their hearts.
This is also human nature.
On the one hand, the arrival of new people will give them a sense of crisis that they may be replaced by new people.
On the other hand, if you feel that you are the first to come, and you have worked hard to open up the situation, but you may be overtaken by the latecomers, you will inevitably feel resentful in your heart.
It is common for new people and old people to feel disconnected.
These are also questions that every newcomer will face.
Especially Xu Xingzhi and Li Jing, both of whom have not made any achievements yet, will be put in the important position of Zhao Mingyuan as soon as they arrive, and it is inevitable that they will be squeezed out.
Now seeing that the two of them can solve these problems with their own talents, Zhao Mingyuan naturally doesn't have to worry.
The next day, when he learned that Zhao Mingyuan had returned to Wagang Village, Zhai Rang held a banquet and invited almost all the leading figures in Wagang Village to celebrate Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhai Rang, Li Mi, and Zhao Mingyuan sat at the top, looking like the Big Three, while the other civil servants and generals took their seats.
Looking at the group of civil servants and generals below, they were faintly divided into three parts, as if there was an invisible barrier separating them.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Mingyuan knew that he could not delay it any longer.
So, after drinking for three rounds, Zhao Mingyuan stood up and said loudly: "Nowadays, there are many rumors in the world that our Wagang Village is divided into three factions, and there will be internal chaos in the future and a complete defeat.
Some people even say that all of us in Wagang Village are grassroots farmers who only care about immediate interests and have no long-term plans. They will inevitably fight for the petty profits in front of them, and it is difficult to escape the situation of destruction.
Therefore, like this Cihang Jingzhai election of emperor, no matter which side is chosen in the end, it will never happen to our Wagang Village. "
After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, the entire audience fell silent.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan would lift this fig leaf in public, which was extremely unwise.
Many people looked at Zhai Rang, waiting for him to be furious.
But Zhao Mingyuan actually turned to Zhai Rang, and then said: "Big Dragon Head, since there are rumors in the world, it may not be without reason. What we need is to solve the problem, not cover it up."
Zhai Rang's face was as dark as water, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
After a long while, Zhai Rang finally said: "Brother Zhao, do you have any way to solve this problem? Please tell me."
Zhao Mingyuan did not refuse and immediately replied: "Attack Luoyang!"
Attack Luoyang?
This was Wagangzhai's established strategy. Zhao Mingyuan proposed it at this time, obviously saying that the time had come.
Everyone somewhat understood that Zhao Mingyuan's intention was to transform the internal conflicts in Wagang Village into external conflicts. Go and attack Luoyang, so that you can postpone the long-brewing conflict in Wagang Village that is about to break out.
However, this is different from what he just said!
Isn't this also covering one's ears and deceiving others?
Zhai Rang thought this was a good idea. After all, for him, the sooner the conflict breaks out in Wagang Village, the better, and maybe there will be a turn for the better.
After all, this was what happened with Li Mi back then. Didn't Zhao Mingyuan suddenly appear? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
However, before Zhai Rang could agree, Zhao Mingyuan seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and continued: "At the beginning, when the Qin Dynasty died in chaos, King Huai of Chu made an agreement with everyone, whoever enters the pass first will be the king.
Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was the first to enter the Pass and conquer the Qin Dynasty. Although he went through ups and downs, he finally established the 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Even though Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had strong soldiers and horses, and his martial arts shocked the world, he could not change this outcome.
It can be seen that this is destiny!
Now the hidden dangers in our Wagang Village have become apparent, with a three-point trend.
Bu Ruo also follows the example of the sages and swears here that the one who defeats Luoyang first will be the king.
If our troops in Wagang Village can unite and attack Luoyang. Then he must be the God of Destiny, and he should have the power to wipe out the world! "
Hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, everyone's expressions changed. No one expected that Zhao Mingyuan would try to show off.
There are too many variables in attacking Luoyang.
Just like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then, even though Xiang Yu had strong soldiers and horses, he was met by the main force of the Qin army, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to enter the pass first.
Therefore, who can conquer Luoyang does not necessarily rely on whose military strength is stronger. Among the three parties, it is indeed unknown who will finally gain the upper hand and break through Luoyang first.
Even Zhao Mingyuan, who proposed this idea, was not completely sure.
For a moment, everyone's minds were in a state of flux, and they couldn't help but think about the pros and cons.
However, there are too many possibilities, and it is impossible to reach a conclusion in just a moment.
Even though Li Mi was cunning and Shen Luoyan was resourceful, they couldn't make up their minds.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Zhao Mingyuan was ready to add more fire, so he said: "You must have heard rumors in the world that I hold the secret of Mr. Yang's treasure house."
Upon hearing this, many people didn't even care about the question just now, and all looked at Zhao Mingyuan.
After all, the temptation of Yang Gong's treasure house is too great.
If it weren't for the rumor that Mr. Yang's treasury fell into the hands of the powerful Zhao Mingyuan, and it was just a rumor, I'm afraid someone would have wanted to snatch it away.
Now, the person involved, Zhao Mingyuan, has to face this problem head-on.
Is this to refute rumors?
However, this rumor cannot be eliminated so easily. Even if Zhao Mingyuan tried his best to deny it, it would be difficult for others to believe it.
Unexpectedly, facing the inexplicable looks in his eyes, Zhao Mingyuan actually said: "Yes, the rumors are not groundless. I do know where Mr. Yang's treasure house is?"
Li Mi's eyes flashed, as if he guessed why Zhao Mingyuan mentioned Yang Gong's treasure house at this time. Then he said: "Could it be that Duke Yang's treasure house is in Luoyang?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes became even hotter.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "That's right. In fact, this Yang Gong's treasure house was built when Yang Guang ordered Yang Suying to build the eastern capital Luoyang. Only in this way can he be unnoticed and avoid the eyes and ears of everyone."
As soon as Zhao Mingyuan said this, everyone couldn't help but feel that it made sense.
Yes, the project of Yang Gong's treasury should be quite big. How easy is it to hide it from others?
It happened that there was a lot of construction work going on in Luoyang City. As the person in charge, Yang Su was able to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone and build the treasure house without anyone noticing.
When Luoyang City was built, many buildings were built by Lu Miaozi. For example, the famous Tianjin Bridge was built by Lu Miaozi's skillful hands.
The Yanggong Treasure House was also created by Lu Miaozi, and it is very possible that it was built in Luoyang City.
Thinking of this, everyone already understood what Zhao Mingyuan wanted to say.
Sure enough, I heard Zhao Mingyuan continue to say: "Yang Gong's treasure house and He's jade, if you get one of them, you can conquer the world.
Today, both Yang Gong's treasure house and He's jade are all in Luoyang City.
If we, Wagang Village, can conquer Luoyang and obtain Yang Gong's treasury and the He family's jade, we will naturally become the master of the world.
No matter who can finally unify the world, I only hope that this person is from Wagang Village. "
"Okay! Okay! Well said!" Zhai Rang happily slapped the table and cheered repeatedly.
Zhai Rang glanced at everyone in the hall and said solemnly: "Brother Zhao said it well!
According to what Brother Zhao said, our troops in Wagang Village are divided into three groups and come out in full force. We will not give up until we break Luoyang!
Whoever defeats Luoyang first will be the master of the world!
I, Zhai Rang, am willing to abdicate in favor of talents and obey his orders.
However, I will add one more thing.
No matter who wins the world in the end, my brothers in Wagang Village must be treated well. "
This is indeed a sign that Zhai Rang has realized that his talents are insufficient and he does not have the ability to become emperor.
As for the method of attacking Luoyang to determine the outcome, it was just Li Mi and Zhao Mingyuan fighting against each other.
He is prepared to help both sides, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, as long as he does not lose his wealth.
After listening to Zhai Rang's words, Zhao Mingyuan immediately replied: "You must obey the order of the big dragon head."
After both parties agreed, all eyes were focused on Li Mi.
The two parties have already agreed. Even if Li Mi objects, it will be difficult to change the trend.
What's more, Li Mi didn't feel that he was really hopeless.
If Luoyang can be defeated first, then the matter is really settled.
So Li Mi immediately replied: "Good!"
When the three giants unanimously agreed, it naturally became an iron fact and could not be changed.
Of course, what's even happier is the generals below.
Because no matter which side conquers Luoyang first and wins in the end, their prestige will be greatly increased.
Then he can unify Wagang Village, integrate all the forces, occupy Luoyang, and possess Yang Gong's treasury and He's Bi.
With such a momentum, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the world is settled, but it has indeed taken the lead and has a great possibility of unifying the world.
So as the founding fathers of the country, they dare not say that they will be crowned kings. At least they can expect the position of princes, and they can expect to be rich and powerful for generations.
Who would be unhappy?
From now on, Wagangzhai began to mobilize, pointing its sword at Luoyang!
