"This is a long story to say, but it's actually like this..."
Now that things have come to a point, I can no longer hide the fact that Xie Xuan is seriously ill, so I have no choice but to tell the truth.
Although he told the truth, he cut it off and only talked about Xie Xuan, such as the big wedding, daily drinking, etc., all of which were ignored by him.
"You mean, General Xie can no longer come to Beifu to command troops?"
"How can this be!"
Liu Laozhi was really shocked. He could still vividly remember Xie Xuan's appearance when he left Jingkou about ten days ago.
At that time, although Xie Xuan was a bit serious, he was agile in his skills and his body seemed to be in good health. Who could have imagined that he would become seriously ill in just a few days.
Suddenly, the feeling of shock that the sky in Beifu had collapsed replaced the feeling of joy that it was my turn to be the king in the mountains, making Liu Laozhi unable to calm down for a long time.
Wang Mi was also very sorry. If it hadn't been for this talkative messenger, this matter could have been hidden for a while longer.
At the very least, it would be better to wait until the imperial court receives the news from Beifu and deal with the demon Sun Tai before exposing it.
At this point in time, it's a bit embarrassing.
Liu Laozhi...won't change his mind again!
Thinking of Lao Liu's swinging state in history, Wang Mi couldn't help but feel a little worried, but looking at his current expression, he was quite calm.
I just hope that Liu Laozhi's calmness is not just fake, but really calm.
"So, because General Xie is really ill and difficult to recover from, General Xie sent you here because he was afraid that the people of Beifu would be unstable." After a long time, Liu Laozhi guessed.
I knew this guy had been lying to people before.
"That's right."
"Since this situation is now known to me, Zhiyuan, you don't have to continue to deceive me. What do you think about Beifu's military power?"
Now that Xie Xuan is completely ill, Wang Mi's identity will change, at least in Liu Laozhi's mind.
Previously, he just thought that Xie Xuan was ill and could not ride a long distance, so he temporarily sent his son-in-law to Beifu to support him for a while.
However, now, it seems that Wang Zhiyuan will not be able to leave Jingkou for a long time, so can the military power he promised to himself still count?
As we all know, being inferior to others can be tolerated for a while, but if you tolerate it for a long time, problems will arise.
"General Liu is overly worried. In fact, we have hidden the fact that my father-in-law is seriously ill for a while. Wang Gong must have received the news later than me. I already knew about my father-in-law's condition before I came to Jingkou."
"I said that all matters related to the Beifu should be left to General Liu. This is not a temporary excuse. I really want to hand over the military power to the general."
"I still say the same thing. Regardless of whether the general believes it or not, I have feelings for the soldiers of Beifu. I have also witnessed with my own eyes how difficult it is for the soldiers of Beifu to share the joys and sorrows. Although I came to Beifu under the instructions of Duke Xie,
I am not here to seize power, I also want Beifu to develop better."
"As the most powerful army in the Jin Dynasty, it is worth it!"
"Everything I did was to prevent Beifu soldiers from making fearless sacrifices. What kind of virtue does Sima Daozi have? Now, the general should also understand very clearly. Duan is not a person who can do great things. If Sima Daozi is sent to Wanbeifu,
The brothers who were thrown out and fought bloody battles just to support such a person, what a loss to the brothers!"
"Good steel must be used on the blade, and the same goes for Beifu soldiers. The situation in the north is uncertain now. We still have a lot to do. We cannot waste all our troops on internal strife."
"Now it can be concluded that Wang Pushe in the court has the same idea, and everyone has the same goal. That is to hope that the court situation will finally be stabilized, and not to cause another war just because Sima Daozi is unhappy.
"
Liu Laozhi's brows twitched, seeming to be touched.
Sima Daozi.
The Jin Dynasty.
one person.
A group of people!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, and Lao Liu seemed to understand!
"You mean that our Beifu shouldn't fight against the entire imperial court for Sima Daozi alone?"
"With one's own strength, against the strength of everyone?"
Very good!
Lao Liu finally got the idea!
Wang Mi was so excited that tears were about to flow out. Of course, they didn't really flow out, they just rolled in his eyes a few times.
"General Liu can think of this level, and my efforts over the past few days have been in vain!"
"General Liu has worked hard in Beifu for many years and wants to maintain his position. I can completely understand his mood."
"If it were me, I would think so too."
After hearing this, Liu Laozhi burst into tears.
Understand!
Long live understanding!
"Zhiyuan, I'm satisfied if you can understand my thoughts. Since you have this intention, the Beifu soldiers will be at your disposal in the future!"
"I, Liu Laozhi, will follow you!"
Within one day, this was the second time that he expressed his loyalty to Wang Mi. However, for Wang Mi, such an earnest confession did not make him feel familiar again and again.
The closer he gets to Liu Laozhi, the more Liu Yu will drift away from him, which is not good.
As a qualified leader, you must have a good balance with the generals under your command, and you must not pick up this one and lose that one.
In the silent night, two breaking news came from Jiankang City, which made Wang Mi feel frightened.
If there were no troops sent from Jingkou, would Sima Daozi be in a hurry to jump over the wall in Jiankang City?
Unexpectedly, Wang Aning put the new emperor on the throne so quickly, okay!
It seems that he still has some ability.
However, going forward, the Jin Dynasty cannot be said to be stable.
Sima Daozi, who cannot become the emperor, will never sit still and wait for death. If there is any strength that he can rely on, it seems that there is only one choice...
not good!
The Way of the Heavenly Master!
Sun Tai!
"General Liu, write quickly, it's too late!"
What is this kid doing in such a hurry?
Just now you were acting reasonable and leisurely, why did you suddenly become anxious again?
"Zhiyuan, do you have anything to write?"
Liu Laozhi pushed the letter paper over and began to grind the ink.
After the two envoys stirred things up, the old man's drunkenness had dissipated a lot. He calmed down and thought about it, Wang Mi was better at writing letters.
He's such a big boss, so he shouldn't show his embarrassment.
"General Liu, you write first and I will polish it for you. The most important thing is that you must notify the Jiankang court to pay attention to any changes in Tianshi Dao."
Liu Laozhi clicked his tongue: "Tianshi Dao?"
"If Beifu doesn't send troops, how dare they make trouble?"
You see, even Liu Laozhi's somewhat slow mind has thought that Sun Tai repeatedly encouraged Beifu to send troops, and also used various threats and inducements, with the purpose of pushing Beifu soldiers out to serve as spearmen.
Without this gun, would Tianshi Taoism roll up its sleeves and use it on its own?
Liu Laozhi expressed doubts.
"General Liu, I'm afraid the situation in Jiankang City is not as good as we imagined. Sun Tai is indeed cunning, but he still has to obey Sima Daozi after all."
"Once Sima Daozi knew that the Beifu soldiers he thought he could trust were unwilling to support him, given his personality, he would definitely be furious. When the time comes, the one who will bear his anger will be none other than Sun Tai."
Haha, when the time comes, there will be a good show to watch...
However, Wang Mi, who wanted to watch a good show, was not in a very happy mood.
Although this good show is what he has been looking forward to, firstly, he was sent to Beifu by Xie An and was separated from the atmosphere he experienced personally. Secondly, once Sima Daozi's big show kicked off, he would be unlucky.
Are they still the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiankang City?
The disciples of Tianshi Dao are not regular soldiers. For example, the General Liu Laozhi in front of us. Although he is based in Beifu and has a very high prestige in the army, his behavior is really not very formal.
He engaged in looting and lax military discipline. He relied on sharing money and stolen goods to win over people, but even such an army could be considered a regular army.
In comparison, Tianshi Dao is even more stretched.
Without looking, Wang Mi could imagine how chaotic the situation in the city would be when Tianshi Dao's locust troops arrived around Jiankang.
We can only place our hope in Lao Wang!
…………
It was hard to tell for a while whether Lao Wang was reliable, but Xiao Wang, who should be reliable, was trapped in Jingkou and couldn't move.
After receiving the news about Jiankang, Wang Mi also wanted to return to Jiankang several times. He always felt that it was a pity that he was not involved in such an important period of historical change.
However, it is a pity that he really has no skills at all.
Even though Liu Laozhi now understands the truth and will no longer collude with Sima Daozi, he still cannot leave with peace of mind.
I have no choice but to stay in Jingkou and watch the show.
Jiankang City, which seemed to be calm and peaceful, was actually at the end of its tether.
…………
Wuyi Lane, Langya Palace.
"Sun Tai, today, I finally can't bear it anymore!"
"Something went wrong!"
"Something must have gone wrong!"
"Tell me, what should we do!"
After spending a night without incident, Sima Daozi jumped up before dawn and headed straight for Sun Tai's residence.
Coincidentally, Grand Master Sun had also been up all night, and Sima Daozi came to charge him aggressively. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw Sun Tai spiritedly sitting in the room, drinking a cup of tea.
He was actually still in the mood to drink tea!
Sima Daozi became even angrier when he saw it.
"Master Sun!"
"Sun Tai!"
Why didn't the old man reply?
Sima Daozi thought he was going to die!
"Your Majesty, it's not the time to be anxious now, we can wait."
Isn't Sun Tai anxious?
Of course it’s impossible!
He was just waiting. Compared to Sima Daozi, the envoy he sent out would set off later. Even if something went wrong on Sima Daozi's side, he was confident that Tianshi Dao's way of speech would be smooth.
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"do not you know?"
"Just last night, the envoy Wang Gong sent to Jiankang came back!"
"Since his people can come back, why is there no news about any of our people?"
Sun Tai was dumbfounded.
"Is your Majesty serious?"
He couldn't believe his ears. Although he had long sensed that something had happened in Jingkou, he didn't dare to admit that Liu Laozhi, whom he relied on, had completely betrayed him.
And now, if what Sima Daozi said is true, then Liu Laozhi's betrayal is a certainty and can no longer be concealed!
"Does this need to be said?"
"I came back last night. After I got the news, I felt something was wrong no matter how I thought about it. Wang Gong's envoy must have gone to Jingkou to inform the news of Sima Dezong's accession to the throne."
"The departure date will never exceed two days. If you think about it, our envoy will leave at about this time."
"Why is it that someone else's police officer came back, but there is no news about our people?"
"Tianshi, you have to take responsibility for this matter!"
Sima Daozi was not a fool. He hit Sun Tai on the head with a big pot in his backhand, which was called a sure and ruthless move.
No wonder, he is a king after all.
Even if they fight together, they are still eating meat. He, Sun Tai, can only pick up some bones and dregs. Now that the opportunity has been given to him, this Sun Tai will not be unable to do anything in the face of the battle, right?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Pindao will be responsible, and Pindao will definitely handle this matter well!"
"Even if Liu Laozhi refuses to cooperate with us, Pindao still has tens of thousands of followers. They have already spread around Jiankang City. As long as I give an order, they can swarm here."
This old man, why didn't he tell me earlier?
"Then summon your disciples quickly. What are you waiting for?"
"If we delay any longer, we will fall behind!" Sima Daozi was very anxious and urgent. Although he was an ambitious fool, he also knew the importance of seizing the opportunity.
"But...but..." For some reason, Sun Tai looked troubled, which made Sima Daozi very unhappy.
"how?"
"Master Tian, are you trying to trick me?"
Don't blame Sima Daozi for being suspicious. Remember, when Sun Tai encouraged him to seize power and usurp the throne, his attitude was not what it is now.
At that time, the old man was very active and wanted to put Sima Daozi on the throne the next moment.
how?
Now that things are coming to an end, the old man actually wants to back down?
Of course Sima Daozi would not let him get his wish. Now the two of them are just grasshoppers tied to a rope.
Sun Tai's situation doesn't look very good. In fact, the same goes for Sima Daozi.
Now there is no hope for the ministers in the court. Yuan Yuezhi and others are all traitors and have already taken refuge with Wang Gong.
The path of seeking support from important ministers in the DPRK was no longer feasible, but Sima Daozi would never stop making troubles.
Not moving is a dead end!
The more united the ministers in the court are, the more firmly Sima Daozi's thoughts will become. If these people are tightly bound together in the future, will Sima Daozi still have a way to survive?
Daozi had a very high self-esteem and believed that the old Sima family was of his generation and he was the only one with such talent. In order to suppress the power of the old Sima family and continue to use the Sima family as a decoration, these treacherous ministers would definitely not let him go.
The most hateful one is his brother Sima Yao!
If you say you want to die, then why bother having children?
Just give birth to a baby, it's okay to give birth to a girl, but it's still a boy. Although it looks like a retarded child, as long as it is a child, it will be useful.
If it weren't for this doll, Sima Daozi would almost be able to win!
It can be said that Sima Daozi's feelings for Sima Yao are very complicated and contradictory. It is great that he is dead, but why does he still have a wife?
