Chapter 87 Persuasion
Wang Yan was taking a nap when he received the news. After hearing the news, he hurriedly got up, called Dahonglu Wang Dun, who was also a left-behind court official, and drove to the palace together.
The guards guarding the palace have fled.
Inside and outside the palace, there were all Luoyang soldiers under Shangguan Si's tent. After reporting their identity, they were allowed in, but the entourage was drugged and left outside the gate.
Wang Yan and Wang Dun entered slowly, accompanied by a small school with dozens of soldiers guarding them.
The Wang brothers watched quietly.
As far as the eye can see, there are soldiers with big and small bags and even carts full of belongings everywhere.
They were beaming with joy, talking and laughing loudly, looking at the "trophies" full of them, their mouths were smiling crookedly - since they could gain so much by plundering the palace, why bother fighting the Ye soldiers to death? Woolen cloth?
There is smoke rising in the distance, which seems to be in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.
"Prince, please relax. Special personnel have been sent to guard the queen and concubines. The general has spoken first, and anyone who rushes without permission will be killed without mercy." After seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the Wang brothers, the principal , explained in a low voice.
"General Shangguan is really a pure minister." Wang Yan said without any yin or yang.
“It is admirable to be loyal and brave to the country.” Wang Dun also said with a smile.
The words of the two combined with the smoke in the palace are really ridiculous. They are all from the old Yin Yang family.
But they did not dare to rebuke him directly.
There is great terror between life and death, and the Wang family does not have the spirit to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.
Under Shi Le's butcher's knife, the so-called celebrity, whose reputation is hard to live up to, suddenly appeared, and his knees and licks were extremely smooth.
Shi Le's sword is a sword, and Shangguan Si's sword can also kill people. It's just that the latter is more familiar with it and can bargain a bit.
Tai Chi Hall arrived soon.
There are more soldiers here, and they seem to be quite well-behaved. There are many sentries and they are heavily guarded with swords and guns.
Wang Yan calmed down.
Although he is shameless, he has matured with age and is good at controlling his emotions in front of outsiders.
In the past two years or so, the situation in Luoyang has really become different from that in other states.
The warriors all over the city were raping, looting, killing and setting fires at every turn. It was almost up to them to make the final decision.
If there is any city that is least like the Jin Dynasty, it must be the capital, Luoyang.
In other states, children of aristocratic families can travel around, recite poems and compose poems, appreciate the beautiful scenery in the forest, and appreciate the splendor of the mountains and rivers.
When you are tired, you can lie down in the bamboo forest and listen to the wonderful sound of the wind blowing in the bamboo sea.
If you are tired, you can ignore your appearance and enjoy yourself in the wells of Qiuyi City.
When you are angry, you can curse others with true temper to let yourself understand your thoughts.
But all this is not feasible in Luoyang.
Zhang Fang won't talk nonsense to you, and the soldiers under his command are extremely vulgar.
He doesn't understand when you display the demeanor of a scholar since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He only cares about the feeling on the tip of his tongue.
Shangguan Si may be a little better, but we have to meet him to find out how he is.
If you have to, you still have to coax.
"The king's servant has arrived." After Shangguan heard the announcement, he quickly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and laughed.
Soon, he seemed to have noticed Wang Dun. He nodded reservedly and said, "Chi Zhong is here too."
The villain succeeds!
Wang Dun's expression changed, he was a little angry, but he quickly calmed down and returned the favor to Shangguan first.
Shangguan has returned gifts to the Wang brothers one by one.
"General Shangguan has returned with the crown prince. He has done a great job, but he doesn't know what his plan is?" Wang Yan asked.
Shangguan was slightly stunned.
In fact, he didn't understand it, he just subconsciously wanted to do something.
Before, they ridiculed Mi Huang, Man Fen, and Miao Yuan, none of whom tried to control the palace. Now that Wang Yan asked this question, he felt that it didn't make much sense. After all, the emperor was still there.
"Luoyang cannot be left without an owner for a day." Shangguan had been holding it in for a long time before he said this.
Wang Yan knew what he was doing.
From the beginning of the meeting to the conversation just now, he has already figured out a little bit of Shangguan Si's sense of proportion and bottom line.
So he asked: "What does General Shangguan want?"
"The emperor is on patrol, so naturally he has to supervise the country with the prince." Shangguan said.
Wang Dun secretly thought, this is harming the prince.
If the emperor issued an edict and ordered the prince to supervise the country, it would make sense.
But now that a group of warriors are supported to supervise the country, that is another matter.
As long as the prince is not stupid, he will not agree. Shangguan is completely messy. Under the influence of his greedy nature, he wants to follow the example of Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty?
"General Shangguan is loyal, but others may not understand it." Wang Yan sighed.
“We need Wang Pushe’s help.” Shangguan looked at Wang Yan and said.
Wang Yan was noncommittal and did not answer directly. He only said: "The general is indeed brave and has a heart of caring about the country and the people. However, he may not be able to convince the public before he has made great achievements." Shangguan was silent.
He and Miao Yuan joined forces. Although they were outnumbered, there were still three tribes in the city: Mi Huang, Man Fen, and Chen Jin.
Chen Jin only has a thousand people, so there is nothing to worry about.
The Manfen tribe originally had three thousand people, but now it is estimated that there are five thousand.
But Mi Huang's troops heard that they had taken in some defeated troops. Isn't there six thousand in number?
It adds up to a lot, almost as much as my own.
In a real fight, he could certainly win, but it would also take a lot of effort.
"How to make meritorious service?" Shangguan Si asked.
"Does the general know that Zhang Fang led his troops south?" Wang Yan asked rhetorically.
“I know something about it, but I don’t know where I am now.”
“It’s not far from Luoyang. It takes three days if it’s slow, two days if it’s quick, and we will definitely reach the foot of Bo City.”
"So fast? How did Pushe know?"
Wang Yan smiled reservedly: "My family must have some eyes and ears."
Shangguan Si's expression condensed, and he was a little suspicious of Wang Yan. Yan is tricking him.
With the war outside, it is not easy to collect intelligence. But you can’t lie about this kind of thing because it’s easy to verify.
For a time, he was suspicious, and Wang Yan's image in his mind became more mysterious and unpredictable.
Wang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, this guy is not like Zhang Fang, who cut off his head with a knife, but he is still able to communicate. As long as he can communicate, he will have a solution. What he fears most is that if he does it directly without any nonsense, that is really difficult to handle.
"Please ask Pu She to teach me." Shangguan bowed again and said sincerely.
"If the general can defeat Zhang Fang, who can stop him when he returns to the army?" Wang Yan said: "In the battle of Julu in the past, Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army, summoned all the princes and generals, and all of them knelt down when they entered the camp gate. No one dares to look up at him. Xiang Yu has become the general of the princes. How can the princes be so proud? "
Shangguan is already a little moved.
He had a solid base of 3,000 Chinese troops, and gathered more than 2,000 scattered Chinese soldiers who had been defeated on the road. At this time, they had all been reorganized.
It can be said that this is his greatest confidence and the main reason why he dares to act recklessly in the city.
Miao Yuan also had five thousand soldiers, but compared with his five thousand veterans of the Chinese army, they were nothing.
Although the East China Sea Kingdom Army has the brave general Shao Xun, the soldiers are not good enough and it is not worth worrying about.
Chen Jin has too few soldiers, and his old foundation is being wasted. Thousands of men cannot achieve great things.
If he can defeat Zhang Fang and gather Zhang Fang's surrender troops, his momentum will become stronger. By then no one in Luoyang will dare to oppose him.
Kneel forward, don’t dare to look up, haha, so majestic!
"With General Shangguan, Luoyang is as stable as Mount Tai." Wang Yan complimented with a smile.
Shangguan was even more happy.
Wang Yifu is the most famous scholar in the world. If there is peace, he will definitely be like a city. Even if I want to meet someone like me, I'm afraid I won't be qualified. Now he is complimenting himself, haha, how wonderful!
Thinking of this, he called a general and ordered: "Take five hundred people to patrol the city and restrain the sons and don't make too much trouble. Just ask for money, don't disturb the women. Don't kill people indiscriminately."
"No." The general took the order and left.
"The general's high righteousness is admirable." Wang Yan's face straightened, he took two steps back, bowed and praised.
Shangguan Si quickly helped Wang Yan up and said, "You must never do this great ceremony."
"It should be." Wang Yan said solemnly: "The general is loyal to Xu Guo, and he is about to Bravely defeating the stubborn enemy and resolving the crisis in Luoyang, a mere courtesy means nothing."
"The only one who can defeat Zhang Fang and protect Luoyang is the general." Wang Dun took advantage of the situation and added fire.
Shangguan's smile grew stronger.
After years of hard work, have you finally reached this point? The Langya Wang family all bowed to me, haha, I couldn’t even dream of it before.
The soldiers of the Western thieves are not very good at fighting. When the king of Changsha was there, he defeated them and defeated them.
Now that we have more than 5,000 elite soldiers, we can use this as a basis. Then we can recruit Chen Jin, Man Fen, Miao Yuan, Mi Huang and others to attack them together. After a great victory, I will take power. day.
“I heard that Pushe has a girl named Hui Feng who has been a widow for many years.” Shangguan was already proud and said: “Quanzi is seventeen years old and is a perfect match for Pushe’s daughter. I don’t know...”
Shangguan Si's son is seventeen years old, and Wang Huifeng is twenty-five years old this year. They are indeed a perfect match.
The third-year girl holds a gold brick, and the eight-year-old girl can’t imagine what she can hold.
Wang Dun's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Wang Yan didn't take it seriously at all, but laughed and said: "The general killed the enemy with all his strength and returned from defeating the thieves. He has made great contributions to the country. The little girl usually admires heroes the most, and she will marry the general. Mansion, it can be said that God fulfilled his wish.”
Shangguan was excited when he heard that Wang Yan seemed to agree.
This is the daughter of the Wang family. Even if she is a widow, how can she be looked up to by her family?
Unexpectedly, it happened?
"That's it if Zhang Fang doesn't come. If he comes, Yifu will watch me from the top of the city beating the thieves." Shangguan patted his chest and said loudly.
