Shangguo, the royal palace!
Guo Chong has been much quieter during this period, and he doesn't argue with one person today or another person tomorrow.
There are also fewer restaurants, teahouses and brothels. After all, they are going bankrupt. Who is still in the mood?
But Shangguo Chaotang did not become quiet because of Guo Chong's silence. Instead, at Guo Chong's instruction, some officials who were promoted by him began to impeach Li Lu.
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this."
"Yes, Your Majesty, ever since the General went on an expedition, Lord Wu An broke in before leaving the pass. We only received the news recently."
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, the White Tiger Pass is our Shang Kingdom's sharp weapon against Xia Kingdom, and it is also a barrier to prevent Xia Kingdom from going south. However, in the hands of the general, the guard gate was lost in just a few days. This responsibility must be given to The general will bear it."
another official said.
"That's right."
"Not only Baihu Pass, almost all the 20 or 30 cities north of Zhangshui are occupied by Lord Wu'an. The adults in those cities have complained to the clan."
King Shang was stunned and said angrily, "It's impossible. Let's forget about the small city. Why not take back the big city?"
After speaking, he looked at Guo Chong.
"You never told me."
Guo Chong bent down deeply, with tears in his eyes and a cry in his voice.
"Your Majesty, the general did not want to see Wei Chen, but Wei Chen did not receive any news. Later, he was worried about the safety of Shangguo and sent people to check. The north of Zhangshui River has been occupied by Wu Anjun."
"It's like saying that 20-30% of Shangguo's territory is in the hands of Lord Wu'an, and even if I receive a piece of news, I don't know whether it is true or not!"
King Shang tensed up and secretly regretted letting Li Lu lead his troops on the expedition.
"what news?"
Guo Chong hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.
"I heard that at the beginning, the general and Mr. Wu An fought several tough battles, with both sides suffering casualties. But one day after the two met in the middle of the battlefield, the general refused to send troops."
Guo Chong said this, paused, and then winked at an official next to him.
The official jumped right out.
"I heard that the general took a lot of money from Mr. Wu An, so I let him go. After all, although Mr. Wu An is invincible, he is still young and there is no way he will not be defeated at all when he encounters the general. "
As soon as he said this, everyone from the king to the ministers changed their expressions.
"You bastard, who told you to say that? Come here, take this animal out for me and give me fifty sticks."
Suddenly two soldiers ran over and pushed the official down without even giving him a chance to speak.
King Shang said loudly.
"Hmph, it is indeed the rumor. The general is famous for not loving money and loving the battlefield. He has also served your father, so he will never do anything that harms Shang Guo's interests."
"It's gone, it's gone!"
King Shang flicked his sleeves with a livid face and walked towards the back.
Not long after, Guo Chong, who was planning to run away and cause trouble again tomorrow, was stopped by the eunuch and ordered to go to the back hall.
"Guo Chong, what's going on?"
Guo Chong said helplessly, "Wei Chen heard about it, and there is no evidence, so we can't talk nonsense."
King Shang was so angry that he couldn't deal with Li Lu to begin with, and he was his eldest brother. If he hadn't been really capable, who would have dared to let him lead the army.
But now that I think about it, I find that Li Lu is not loyal to me.
Such a situation is absolutely unacceptable to the supreme ruler of a country.
"Guo Chong, go to Li Lu's mansion and show me."
"good!"
The two grew up together, so how could they not know each other's temper? Maybe Guo Chong knew him better, after all, being a dog licker was also a skill.
After receiving the approval of King Shang, Guo Chong immediately led people to Li Lu's mansion. Completely ignoring the obstruction of Li Lu's family in the mansion, he started searching
Check it out.
When others were not paying attention, Guo Chong placed one or two gold cakes in the utility room.
Guo Chong asked Li Lu's family to identify the two gold cakes. They all said that they were not from their own family, but he had got what he wanted.
He hurriedly walked towards the palace.
Brothel.
Wang Shumai looked at the report sent by Tianshou Division, his mouth twitched fiercely, and he rubbed his face with a headache.
Xiao Wu picked up the report and looked at it, and immediately felt happy.
"Guo Chong, this little guy, didn't prepare anything. He dared to bring bad luck to Li Lu's family. He only found two gold cakes and went to report to King Shang!"
Suddenly, Xiao Wu was stunned.
"Uncle Wang, do you think King Shang will withdraw Li Lu?"
Wang Shumao said unhappily.
"What the heck, I'm not completely sure. Who dares to change generals before the battle? Do you really think they are your own cats and dogs, coming and going when you call them?"
"What should we do? Li Lu won't leave. Your Majesty's order is that no matter what method is used, bringing Li Lu back will not endanger his life."
Xiao Wu also fell into helplessness, it was simply too torture.
Wang Shumao slowly took out a strange tiger-shaped object from his arms and placed it on the table.
Xiao Wu took a closer look and was immediately shocked.
"This, this is the Tiger Talisman. Uncle Wang, you are so awesome. Your Majesty even gave you the Tiger Talisman?"
The corner of Wang Shumao's mouth twitched fiercely.
"Tiger Talisman? That thing is for you, do you dare to ask for it? If you can't own it, don't take it, otherwise you will die without knowing it."
"Then what is this?"
"Tiger Talisman!"
Xiaowu:..........
Aren't you bullying honest people?
Seeing Xiao Wu's sad eyes, Wang Shushu took a deep breath and said.

"This is the tiger talisman of Shangguo's army that was robbed and killed when escorting Shangguo's defeated troops back to Yuntong. Your Majesty has always asked me to keep it. I don't know what it means. It seems that I have to use this today."
Xiao Wu immediately came to a secret room and informed.
Sure enough, not long after, a prostitute staggered upstairs.
There was a "bang" sound.
Wang Shumao's room was knocked open, and the prostitute walked in drunkenly.
"Ah, you can't go in here, this is the owner's place."
People outside the restaurant chased him from downstairs to upstairs, but when they saw Wang Shusui's gesture, he immediately walked away knowingly.
After closing the door, Wang Shushu cupped his hands and said to this person.
"See my lord."
The prostitute shrugged his ears. When he heard the crowd coming to the restaurant, he was shocked and instantly changed from a drunken state to a capable look.
"Why do you want to see me? It was just a notification before, why do you want to meet me today?"
Wang Shumao said helplessly, "You should know your Majesty's orders."
"Yes, not only do I know, but I also need to fully cooperate with you!"
"Guo Chong, a mediocre person, can't do anything well. It's up to you to make something happen. Not to mention tricking Li Lu back, at least keep him away from the military camp. Only by staying away from the military camp can your Majesty succeed!"
The prostitute scratched his head, picked up the wine bottle from the table and took a few sips without any care and rudeness.
"It's difficult. Li Lu is a famous general. It's impossible to transfer him with ordinary excuses or even charges."
Xiao Wu's face was full of headache.
"Oh, Your Majesty's frontier troops are so strong. Why don't you just go up and kill the enemy? Why are there so many twists and turns?"
"Swiss, swiss, swish!!!!"
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, the client took out a small notebook from his arms and carefully recorded it with charcoal pen.
"You, what do you mean?"
The prostitute looked indifferent.
"You just
I have transcribed what I said and will present it to you for your review in the future! "
"You, you~~~!"
Xiao Wu stood up angrily, his face full of anger, but also a little timid. This person did not indicate any identity, but everyone knew who he was.
Must be in an important position.
If you offend this person, you may be in trouble in the future.
Wang Shumao's eyes twitched slightly.
"Sir, is this so bad?"
The corners of the prostitute's mouth raised, revealing an evil smile, and his white teeth shone with a cold light.
"Xiao Wu has been with you for a long time. You are a nostalgic person. Knowing that, the most I can do is reprimand you. If you said bad things about you today and I didn't copy them down, then I may be punished by what you said." The punishment will be a hundred times greater.”
The two of them were in shock for a moment, it was too strict.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, the prostitute was stunned for a moment, and finally showed a smile, "Not everyone can be an Amagari. Stop chatting. If you want us to do something, just give us the order directly. If you don't have a plan, you and Jun will do it yourself." It says, we are only responsible for execution, not planning.”
Wang Shusui took a deep breath and placed the tiger talisman on the table.
"This is all I have, there is no other way!"
The prostitute picked up the tiger talisman and looked at it, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"Shang Guo's tiger talisman? Since the last incident, because you and Guo Chong messed up Shang Guo's grain prices and copper and iron prices, the tiger talisman has never been destroyed. You are lucky, why don't you contact me? I, with your superior’s talents, a small plan will be no problem.”
Wang Shumao sighed helplessly, as expected, there was nothing he could do.
In fact, it's not that the client has no choice, but that he can't come up with ideas. Even if he wants to come up with an idea, it has to be approved by the staff and the emperor. The process is complicated, so it's better to let the client think of his own solution.
Wang Shumao had no choice but to walk directly into the darkroom and start making phone calls.
Not long after, the call was connected.
Sure enough, there was a roar, and after a cup of tea, Wang Shushu walked out with an excited face.
The prostitute and Xiao Wu looked at each other with strange eyes.
"Uncle Wang, how comfortable is it to be scolded by your Majesty?"
After saying that, she gave him a strange look.
Wang Shushu didn't care at all and immediately explained the plan in detail.
The prostitute who was still careless at first suddenly had sharp eyes. After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"As expected of your Majesty, I admire you for coming up with such a plan!"
"I took the tiger talisman with me, so let's go our separate ways."
"good!"
Wang Shumao wrote down some patterns that looked like lines and handed them to the client.
The prostitute didn't say anything and walked directly outside. Just as he left, his whole body was shaken and his drunken expression returned to his previous state, but his drunkenness seemed to be less severe than before.
A few days later.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
Li Lu led a group of generals on a patrol in the military camp. Seeing many soldiers eating and drinking, his expression changed slightly.
