Chapter 731: Xie An, the master of dumping the pot
Sima Daozi's expression had betrayed him deeply. He was very dissatisfied with Sun Tai's procrastination.
Sun Tai quickly expressed his position: "Your Highness, it's not that Pindao refuses to contact his disciple, it's just that Pindao is still waiting for help."
The hierarchy within Tianshi Dao is very strict, and if ordinary disciples want to see Sun Tai, it is basically impossible for them to do so in this life.
The people responsible for contacting the disciples in various places are mainly the Celestial Masters of Celestial Master Tao scattered in various places. When it comes to Sun Tai, the person he trusts and relies on the most is his nephew, Sun En.
"Your Highness, Pindao is waiting for Sun En to come back. As soon as he comes back, Pindao can immediately contact his disciples from all over the country and flock to Jiankang."
subterfuge!
These are all excuses!
Sima Daozi could see it at a glance.
How come a great Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Way doesn't have anyone available around him? He still has to wait for his nephew to come back and contact him?
Besides, when will his lovely nephew come back?
Sima Daozi did not lose his memory, Sun Endu has been gone for many days, and there has been no news to this day.
Sun Tai is sure he is okay?
Two conspirators were wrestling with each other. Suddenly, a boy ran in rolling and crawling.
"Heavenly Master!"
"Oh no!"
"Something big happened!"
What?
It’s already bad enough, is there anything worse?
Sima Daozi's eyes widened, he really wanted to skin Sun Tai, and Sun Tai also became nervous.
What's going on?
Why do the servants in the palace call his name?
"Disciple of the Great Heavenly Master, Sun En..." As soon as the boy heard the news, he ran over without even a moment's delay. He was panting and trying to organize his words. Sun Tai was extremely anxious.
"What happened to Sun En?"
"Can you finish it in one sitting?"
Hachihachi...
The boy took a few more breaths, and then said with difficulty: "To the Great Heavenly Master, Sun En is dead!"
"What?"
"died!"
A slightly aging body fell to the ground in an instant. His originally strong spirit seemed to wither in an instant, and Sun Tai fell into passivity!
"Heavenly Master!"
"Wake up, are you okay?"
No one expected that the Great Heavenly Master Sun Tai, who was full of energy just now, fell to the ground in an instant after learning the news.
His eyelids trembled slightly, but he couldn't open them. His whole body was in a state of feeling dizzy.
No way!
This old man can't be so useless!
Sima Daozi didn't believe that he was really fainted and kicked him a few times. Sun Tai's thin body shook a few times and he actually opened his eyelids.
"Master Tian, you finally woke up, I was so scared to death!"
Blessed by the gods, the Great Heavenly Master cannot have any problems. Since arriving in Jiankang City, although Sun Tai was not eager to develop new powers in the city, he did not stop his preaching activities. Instead, he brought many servants in the palace to serve as slaves.
They all became their true believers.
These believers have not been deceived by Sun Tai. They have great faith in his magical power. How can they watch Tianshi Sun being ill?
I wish I could cut off three kilograms of meat to help the old man tide over the difficulties!
"Get up!"
"Master Sun."
Sima Daozi was not so kind. Seeing that Sun Tai was clearly awake and still looking like he was paralyzed on the ground unwilling to move, he pulled out his long knife.
Click it!
The cold light flashed in front of Sun Tai, frightening the old man, and he immediately became energetic. He jumped up like a carp and stood up.
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
"Pindao, go and gather the troops now!"
Sun En was no longer someone he could count on, and Sun Tai didn't intend to investigate the cause of his death. Most likely, he was killed by those bastards from Jingkou.
It's important to save his old life!
If you raise an army, you are likely to die, but if you don't raise an army, you will die now!
The dog can be there for a while!
Great Heavenly Master Sun Tai, take action!
…………
"Thank you, Mr. Aning, I never expected that you would come to visit me in person. It is truly an honor."
"quick!"
"Please take a seat!"
Wang Gong, on his side, had just finished arranging the defense of the capital, and when he returned to his house, he had not even slept at all, when he received a rare visitor.
It was Xie Gong and Xie Anshi who kept their word and had a transcendent status in the court!
Xie An looked at Wang Gong with surprised eyes. Did this kid become stupid after being promoted?
Is there anything he can't climb through the gate of this palace?
Didn’t you just come here a few days ago?
"Aning, life as a prime minister is not so comfortable, isn't it? I've lost weight just looking at you."
I have lost weight, but my energy is better!
This man really has a strong will and a strong will.
Since becoming a powerful minister, Wang Gong has been physically exhausted, but his heart seems to be blooming.
He doesn't want it if it's beautiful.
As long as he can control the affairs of the Jin Dynasty, it doesn't matter to him no matter how tired he is, let alone the intensity of his current work.
"Thank you so much for your concern, sir. I am indeed a little tired, but this is all for the prosperity of Jin Dynasty. It is what the younger generation should do."
It should and should not be the case. There are countless ministers in the court who want to take on this job. They might even be able to fill up the entire Suzaku Airline if they spread their arms.
Xie An thought a few words to himself, but didn't say much. He came here specifically not for such trivial matters.
"Aning, I heard that the messenger you sent to Beifu has returned. How about it? You have figured out the situation in Beifu now, right?"
There are some words that don’t need to be stated explicitly, just point them to the end.
Of course, Xie An didn't need to know more about the specific situation in Beifu, and there was no need for Wang Gong to explain it to him.
His grandson-in-law was stationed at Jingkou, and the news to Xie An was naturally much faster than that from Wang Gong.
Wang Gong cupped his hands and said: "I do understand. The matter in Beifu can be solved smoothly, thanks to Xie Gong's good management."
"Honestly, I didn't expect that this kid Zhiyuan would be able to control Liu Laozhi and convince him of his words."
"Think about it, Beifu will no longer be a scourge to the court in the future, and we can concentrate on solving the Tianshi Dao."
"It's not enough to just solve Tianshi Dao. There's also Sima Daozi. An Ning, it's time for you to get some refreshments too."
Wang Gong was stunned. He never expected that Xie An would name Sima Daozi so openly.
I thought that talking about this person could only be done using obscure codes that you know and I know!
Thank you, old man, you did a great job today!
It seems that he, Wang Gong, is also going to take action.
"Does Mr. Xie mean to remove Sima Daozi from the court?"
Wang Gong hinted at Xie An in this way, hoping that Xie An could point him to a clear path, which method he, Xie An, admired.
"That's how it should be." Xie An nodded and spoke concisely.
"Did you know that Sun Tai has already taken action? According to the news I received, he is now contacting his disciples around Jiankang and plans to besiege the city from around Jiankang."
I go!
Wang Gong’s whole body jumped up!
"Mr. Xie, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"
The old man can still sit still!
Xie An smiled and let him sit down safely.
"Young man, I just can't calm down. I have experienced so many bloody storms back then, and the situation is much more dangerous than it is now, but I still haven't changed my mind. What can the Celestial Master do to me?"
Of course you are not afraid anymore, but you can't block others from being afraid.
Wang Gong stroked his little heart, which was beating very hard. In fact, he was not afraid of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of Tianshi Dao.
He was complaining that Xie An was not honest in his work.
With his knowledge, status, and experience, it is impossible that he does not know the principle of talking about the key points first. From what he just said, isn't it obvious which one is more important?
"The juniors really have little experience, which makes Mr. Xie laugh." When you should be humble, you have to be humble.
"A-Ning, actually I already have a plan here, so you don't have to worry. I'm here. I just feel that this matter is of great importance. I want to make it clear to you personally to ensure that nothing leaks out."
Wang Gong's whole mood was in a state of ups and downs.
He took a deep breath and showed a helpless expression.
I have long heard that Mr. Xie is famous for his slow movements and his unhurried personality. He was very excited when he came to save his daughter before. He did things neatly. Wang Gong thought he had finally changed his ways.
Unexpectedly, this time, it gave him an excellent opportunity to take it seriously and have a solid understanding of Xie Gong's temper.
It's really unusual.
He wiped his sweat and said calmly: "I wonder what Mr. Xie has in mind?"
No matter what the idea is, as long as Xie An has a way, Wang Gong completely trusts Xie An in this regard.
In Xie An's own words, he ate more salt than Wang Gong ate rice and survived many storms and waves.
Although he pretends to be cool and calm on weekdays, in fact, he is full of bad qualities.
"The important point now is that the Tianshi Dao people are all stragglers. Even if they obey Sun Tai's orders, their combat effectiveness is not strong."
"We must guard the gate of Jiankang City and not let them enter the city. Moreover, we must also pay attention to the defense within the city."
"What should I pay attention to in the city?" Wang Gong understood Xie An's words, but didn't he say that Sun Tai's people gathered from around Jiankang?
Just guard the outside of the city.
"Don't forget, there are also many followers of Sun Tai in Jiankang City."
"If these people cause trouble, it will be enough for us, not to mention breaking our bones."
yes!
Jiankang City is also full of people. According to the Tianshi Dao in Dajin, I am afraid that there will be many disciples of Sun Tai in the city.
Tsk tsk...
Sun Tai is such a bad guy!
When everything calms down, Wang Gong must catch him and cut him into pieces!
"There is no need to worry about the guards in the city. I have already rearranged them here. The generals are all trustworthy and the troops are in good order."
Wang Gong had just visited several major military camps in Jiankang City in the morning. He found that the morale of the soldiers was very high and military discipline was strict.
Because of the successive victories in the north, the appearance of the Jin army can be said to be the best it has ever been. The battles were fought beautifully and the soldiers felt encouraged.
For Wang Gong, the most favorable condition now is that the government and the public have reached a consensus on the issue of guarding against Sima Daozi.
As long as Sima Daozi can be pinned in the mud, the brothers are not afraid of anything and work together to form a rope.
As for those grudges, although you can't let them go with the wind, you can put them aside for the time being.
"With you here, I feel relieved." Xie An said happily.
Wang Gong is worried. You are relieved, but I am not.
"Xie Gong, Jiankang's troops are limited. We can still take care of them in the city, but we have nothing to do outside the city. What should we do if those wandering warriors from Tianshi Dao attack us from both sides?"
"That's easy, we just give them a two-sided attack."
Two sides... a pincer attack?
Wang Gong has a hesitant face, can he hold it up?
"Mr. Xie, with all due respect, we don't seem to have that ability."
Wang Gong knew best how many troops there were around Jiankang City. If the people in the city were peaceful, there would be no problem in guarding the outside of the city.
However, what they are worried about is that someone else will make dumplings for them.
"Aning, this is the purpose of my visit today."
"I want to mobilize Beifu's troops to defend Jiankang on a starry night. Beifu's troops are strong, and the soldiers have rich combat experience and good weapons and equipment."
"Of course, if Sun Tai's disciples are incapable of fighting, we don't have to dispatch the Beifu soldiers at all. It feels like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. However, this is also for prevention in advance. As long as Jiankang City is in good condition, we can wait until the news passes.
Now, just ask Beifu to withdraw its troops."
Beifu sends troops?
Xie An actually has such thoughts?
"If Mr. Xie is willing to send Beifu soldiers to help, that would of course be the best."
OK!
Very good!
Wang Gong couldn’t ask for more!
"Since you agree, I can rest assured."
You see, as long as Xie Anshi is willing, he is very good at getting things done. In fact, he can mobilize the Beifu soldiers alone. Moreover, even if he does, Wang Gong can't say anything.
However, he still gave Wang Gong enough face.
The person in charge of the Beifu affairs now is his grandson-in-law Xie An. If Xie An takes his own way too much, it will inevitably make Wang Gong unhappy.
It's great now. Anyway, it's impossible for Tianshi Dao to formally gather together so quickly. If we discuss it in advance, both sides will lose face.
The big deal was settled and Wang Gong personally sent Xie An out. Having a common enemy, they actually became allies.
It has to be said that Sima Daozi was really the key to promoting the sincere unity of the Jin Dynasty.
"Xie Gong, there is a saying that juniors don't know whether to ask or not."
You said so, of course you can ask.
I’m not allowed to ask, can you take it back?
Xie An nodded: "But it doesn't matter."
"If Beifu comes to Beijing to assist, then Zhiyuan will lead troops. At that time, isn't Mr. Xie worried that Beifu will be empty and others will take advantage of it?"
This sentence struck a chord in Xie An's heart.
Worry!
Why not worry.
But isn’t this something that can’t be helped?
If Wang Zhiyuan is not allowed to come back, who else can be allowed to come back?
Liu Laozhi?
That's not possible. Although he is on the side of the imperial court now, who can guarantee that he will still have the same idea when he has soldiers in his hands and no one is watching him?
Don’t worry about your own people!
"I don't have to worry about this matter, I'll leave it to Zhiyuan to handle."
"I believe that with his ability, he will definitely be able to come up with a good solution."
Wang Gong clicked his tongue. He had worked with the court for many years, and he really didn't expect that Xie An was also a master of blaming others.
