Wang Mang's 'smart tongue' can reduce the opponent's intelligence according to the opponent's intelligence.
Therefore, when facing an opponent with low intelligence, Wang Mang is naturally invincible, but when facing an opponent with high intelligence, his clever tongue will naturally be unable to work.
Zhang Liang's basic intelligence is as high as 103, which is second only to Guiguzi in history so far.
Therefore, this time, the effect of Wang Mang's skillful tongue can suppress Zhang Liang's intelligence by at most 1 point. Any more would be beyond Wang Mang's own ability, and 1 point of intelligence has almost no impact on Zhang Liang.
"Pick up Madam? Do you want to pick up Wei Zifu?"
Zhang Liang looked surprised. He felt that Wang Mang was not a greedy person, but he felt that this shortcoming was better, so he smiled and said: "Wei Zifu is the wife of Liu Che, the former queen of the Han Dynasty. You want to take her away from her?"
, isn’t this an active provocation?”
While talking, Zhang Liang was also secretly observing whether he could get rid of Wang Mang's future trouble.
If Wang Mang did not do these small tricks and was willing to act as a tool of the Qin army, the Qin army might not be able to support him in unifying the three Koreas.
But now he has not even unified the three Koreas. While doing business with the Qin army, he secretly joins forces with the Qi state to rescue the Qin army's mortal enemy.
From this it can be seen that Wang Mang is definitely not an obedient chess piece. He has always regarded the Qin army as his opponent in his heart. It is better to get rid of such a restless chess piece as soon as possible.
Although Zhang Liang wanted to get rid of Wang Mang, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, at this moment, the Qin army was at a disadvantage.
The Qin army only had five warships and 500 sailors, but Wang Mang had 38 ships, and the number of sailors was more than ten times that of the Qin army.
Although the Qin army has three powerful generals, Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, and Huo Qubing, the bravery of these generals cannot be used in a water battle, so if there is a fight, Zhang Liang can only avoid the edge temporarily.
Under this situation, if you want to get rid of Wang Mang now, you can only rely on hidden arrows.
That's why Zhang Liangcai came to see Wang Mang in person, hoping to get Wang Mang to let down his guard so that he could find opportunities. However, he didn't expect Wang Mang to be cautious to the core. Even though he was at an absolute advantage, there was a large group of shield-wielding guards around him, obviously to prevent him from committing evil tricks.
ah.
Wang Mang looked at Zhang Liang warily, suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, and said: "Sir, you have misunderstood. The wife Mang mentioned is not Wei Zihu, but Mang's wife."
"Your wife?"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned slightly, and Ye Qingmei stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "When Wang Mang was the right minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Che married his sister Liu Ling to him."
"Is there anything else?"
Zhang Liang turned his head and glanced at the excited Liu Ling beside Wei Zifu not far behind him. He really didn't know that Wang Mang and Liu Ling were husband and wife.
But it doesn't make any difference whether you know it or not. After all, how can a man like Wang Mang care about women? Taking his wife back is just an excuse for him. The real purpose is to rescue Huo Guang, Xue Gang and others.
Even Wang Mang would not have the guts to directly rescue Huo Guang and others, but using the excuse of picking up Liu Ling would be more justifiable. After all, it is only natural for a husband to save his wife, so there is still some room for change between him and Qin Jun.
Already.
Before the arms purchase was completed to unify the three Koreas, Wang Mang did not want to offend the Qin Army. After all, he could only buy arms from the Qin Army.
Zhang Liang did not expect that Wang Mang was so impeccable in his work, and he was even more afraid of Wang Mang. He said calmly: "Sir, if you want to take your wife back, Liang will not stop you, but those hypocritical remnants have nothing to do with you, sir, right?"
Please hand them over, they are all wanted criminals by our army."
The implication is to exchange Liu Ling and Wang Mang for Huo Guang and the other six people.
Wang Mang naturally would not agree to this, and said with a smile: "There are not many remnants on the boat, only Mang's close relatives."
"Clam?"
Zhang Liang laughed angrily at Wang Mang, but he was a little curious about what Wang Mang would do next.
Wang Mang pointed at Huo Guang and said, "This is my teacher, no, this is my foster father."
Huo Guang suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. He obviously didn't want to accept Wang Mang as his adopted son, but he couldn't escape if he refused, so he had to force a smile and say: "Mang, Mang'er."
Wang Mang nodded, then pointed at Xue Gang and Xue Kui and said, "This is my adopted brother, and this is my nephew."
Xue Gang's face suddenly stiffened, and he forced a smile and said: "Brother."
Then he patted Xue Kui behind him, and Xue Kui reluctantly shouted: "Uncle."
"What about them? What do they have to do with you?"
Zhang Liang pointed to Zhang Tang, Xu Meizu, Feng Qianlang and three others, while Wang Mang said: "Mr. Xu and my sworn brother are sworn brothers, and naturally they are also my Wang Mang's brothers.
General Feng has become sworn sworn brother to my nephew, Xue Kui, so naturally he is also my nephew to Wang Mang.
As for Mr. Zhang Tang, he is my wife’s step-brother, and of course he is also part of the family.”
"you……"
Zhang Liang was completely dumbfounded. This was a complete lie with open eyes. There are such shameless people in the world. It’s really a long time since I’ve lived.
In order to rescue Huo Guang and others, Wang Mang also risked his life. Not only did he recognize a father, he also recognized a lot of adopted brothers, and even recognized Liu Ling as an adopted father.
Do you want to work so hard?
It can also be seen from this that Wang Mang is so thirsty for talents that he even loses his face in order to conquer them.
Although Wang Mang was a bit reckless, everything was within the rules. Even Zhang Liang could not find any loopholes and could not accuse him morally.
Zhang Liang looked at Wang Mang and said coldly: "Come here to see Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang reunited."
Wang Mang was relieved when he saw this. Fortunately, he was facing Zhang Liang today, and not a reckless man who refused to listen to him and started a fight. Otherwise, even if he could take people back, his life would not be easy in the future.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, Wei Zifu, mother and son, are the widows of my uncle, can you please..."
Wang Mang asked tentatively, wanting to bring Wei Zifu and his son over, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Liang's cold voice.
"Wang Mang, if you want to start a war, just say so."
Liu Ling was of little use, and there was nothing wrong with returning it to Wang Mang, but Wei Zifu, mother and son were different. They were related to the surrender of the Northern Han Dynasty and the famous general Wei Qing. Naturally, Zhang Liang could not give them to Wang Mang.
Seeing Zhang Liang's attitude, it was impossible for Wang Mang to take Wei Zifu and his son away. He secretly said it was a pity and said with a smile: "Sir, don't get excited, Mang is just joking with you."
Zhang Liang looked at Wang Mang deeply and said meaningfully: "Wang Mang, I remember you." Then he ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Looking at Zhang Liang's retreating figure, Wang Mang's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.
Zhang Liang wanted to get rid of Wang Mang, and Wang Mang didn't want to kill Zhang Liang, but he didn't dare to do so.
Wang Mang had to find a perfect reason even to rescue Xue Gang and others. If he really killed Zhang Liang, he would definitely face endless revenge from the Qin army in the future, and with his current strength, he could not stop the Qin army's revenge.
Of course, Wang Mang was not sure that he could kill Zhang Liang. After all, since a wise man like Zhang Liang dared to appear in front of him, he would be sure to escape unscathed. Wang Mang did not dare to risk his entire power.
