Although Wang Muzhi was not very sensitive to politics, Shen Jianzhong was very good at talking. Naturally, he could hear what Shen Jianzhong wanted to express. He frowned and said with some confusion:

"Master Shen, are you saying that Cui Shao intends to support Ye Mingsheng?"

"But didn't you just say that Cui Shao was waiting for the final winner to appear?"

"Does that guy Cui Shao think Ye Mingsheng can be the final winner?"

At the end of the sentence, a hint of disdain could be seen on Wang Muzhi's handsome face. It was not known whether he was disdainful of Ye Mingsheng or dismissive of Shen Jianzhong's ideas...

Shen Jianzhong heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Master Wang, Cui Shao not only wants to win, he also wants to win more!"

"Whether it is Song Wenhui or Mr. Chen, although they need the power of these powerful families headed by the Cui family, given the power of the powerful families, it is necessary to be wary of and guard against them."

"But Ye Mingsheng is different. He has little power. If he wants to be the final winner, he must rely closely on the power of the family members! In order to win, he can promise some conditions to the family members that neither Song Wenhui nor Master Chen can agree to.

!”

"For example, Mr. Chen once wrote to Cui Shao and told him that if the Cui family supports the Zhenwu Army, they can obtain half of the fertile land in Guangning Prefecture, and officials in Liaoyang will also give priority to talents learned from the Cui family!"

"And if Ye Mingsheng wants to gain the support of the Cui family, he can hand over all the Guangning Mansion to the Cui family, and let people from the Cui family serve as half of the officials in the government. Ye Mingsheng can even agree to rule Liaoyang with the Cui family!"

"For Cui Shao, the temptation is very great!"

Listening to what Shen Jianzhong said, Wang Muzhi's expression gradually became serious. He pondered for a moment and said:

"Cui Shao and the others can get more benefits from Ye Mingsheng, but the premise of the matter is that Ye Mingsheng laughs at the end!"

"But Ye Mingsheng now has only 20,000 fighting troops in several counties in Fengzhou. Under the current situation, he can barely protect himself!"

"How dare Cui Shao put his treasure on Ye Mingsheng? Isn't Cui Shao afraid that Ye Mingsheng's defeat will drag the Cui family into the abyss?"

In response to Wang Muzhi's question, Shen Jianzhong frowned, but still answered seriously:

"Master Wang, you underestimate Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family!"

"Do you know why I dare to threaten Ye Mingsheng, but I am never afraid that Ye Mingsheng will defect to Song Wenhui?"

In response to Shen Jianzhong's rhetorical question, Wang Muzhi thought for a moment and then replied:

"Song Wenhui has taken action against Ye Mingsheng many times before. Because of this, Ye Mingsheng resented Song Wenhui and held a grudge in his heart, so he will definitely not join Song Wenhui, right?"

Shen Jianzhong shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Master Wang, if you were Ye Mingsheng, you might do this, but based on my understanding of him, he might have a grudge against Song Wenhui, but he would not give up seeking refuge with Song Wenhui just because of this...

···”

"The real reason why Ye Mingsheng will not choose to join Song Wenhui is that Ye Mingsheng knows very well that he has a close relationship with Zhenwu Army. If Song Wenhui takes care of Zhenwu Army, he will be the next one to take care of him! So he has to consider it for himself.

I won’t take refuge in Song Wenhui!”

"Betraying the Zhenwu Army and seeking refuge with Song Wenhui now is tantamount to committing suicide for Ye Mingsheng himself! He will never do this!"

"But once Ye Mingsheng has the support of the Cui family, things will be completely different..."

"Several generations of the Cui family have been developing in Liaoyang for more than a hundred years. Their cellars are full of money, their granaries are full of grain, and they have tens of thousands of tenants and slaves. Their connections are all over Liaoyang. Only Cui Shao is willing to

He can definitely recruit tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time!"

"The only thing the Cui family lacks is people who can fight, and the courage and determination to stand up! For a family like them, even if they choose the wrong person to support in the struggle, it is not the most fatal!"

"As long as they are willing to surrender, admit defeat, and spit out some benefits, the final winner will also be willing to accept them and use them for the sake of their influence..."

"The real crisis for the aristocratic families is that they themselves end up competing for the world. Once they end, it means there is no way out. Once they fail, their family will be confiscated and exterminated!"

"And Ye Mingsheng's recent actions of annihilating Wang Laogong, defeating the invading Khitans, tax-free land distribution for immigrants, etc. have shown that Ye Mingsheng can fight! He dares to fight! And he never lacks courage and courage.

, and determination!”

"What Ye Mingsheng and Fengzhou lack is foundation, money, food, and connections. Therefore, he and the Cui family can be said to have complementary advantages and are a match made in heaven!"

"And the Cui family is not alone. They only represent themselves. They are the head of the three families in Liaoyang. Half of the aristocratic families in Liaoyang are following the Cui family. As long as the Cui family decides to support Ye Mingsheng, they can mobilize other aristocratic families.

Those who have money and food will give money and food, and those who have people and horses will give people and horses!"

"In less than two months, with the support of these aristocratic families, Ye Mingsheng's army can soar to 100,000 people, and there is no need to consider the problem of money, food and logistics. At that time, why should he be afraid of Song Wenhui?"

"Ye Mingsheng is no longer afraid of Song Wenhui, and the quarrel between Fengzhou and Changqing Mansion has naturally disappeared. He can naturally cooperate with Song Wenhui to attack the Zhenwu Army from both sides and eliminate the Zhenwu Army. No matter whether it is him, Song Wenhui, or Cui

Shaodu is beneficial··············"

"Master Wang, how long do you think the Changqing Mansion you are guarding can last under the attack from both sides by Song Wenhui and Ye Mingsheng? Half a month or a month?"

After hearing Shen Jianzhong's thorough analysis, Wang Muzhi, who realized that the situation was critical, gradually became serious, and his whole person fell into silence.

As the commander of the Zhenwu Army, Wang Muzhi can be said to have a very good understanding of the current situation between the enemy and ourselves. Without Ye Mingsheng's 20,000 troops, the Zhenwu Army would only have 50,000 people at most in Changqing Mansion, and Song Wenhui had obtained

After the Shiwei people reinforced the army, the number of troops already exceeded 100,000.

Therefore, it is already very difficult for the Zhenwu Army to face Song Wenhui alone. If Ye Mingsheng, who is blessed by the power of the family, stabs him in the back, then even if the gods come, they will be unable to do anything. The only thing waiting for the Zhenwu Army is

An unusual failure·················

After thinking for a while, Wang Muzhi seemed to have thought of something again, and asked Shen Jianzhong in confusion:

"Since we have such good cooperation with the Cui family, why does it look like Ye Mingsheng doesn't want to completely fall out with us from the way he looks today?"

"This is the crux of the problem!" Shen Jianzhong said meaningfully:

"It's not easy to get money and food from aristocratic families! It's not easy to receive their troops either!"

"Ye Mingsheng's current power is still too small. For him to accept the support of these aristocratic families headed by the Cui family is equivalent to a snake swallowing an elephant. The Cui family can use any means to oust Ye Mingsheng. As long as Ye Mingsheng

If Ming Sheng doesn't satisfy them, they can replace him with another one!"

"For someone like Ye Mingsheng, who has a strong desire for control, he will not accept such a situation of being controlled by others unless he has to..."

Wang Muzhi's serious expression softened slightly after hearing this, but he still seemed a little unwilling to do so. He hesitated and said in a deep voice:

"Even so, Mr. Shen, it would be too hasty for us to judge that the Cui family intends to support Ye Mingsheng based on just one letter!"

Shen Jianzhong was not surprised by Wang Muzhi's thoughts. He looked at Wang Muzhi and asked calmly:

"Master Wang, do we dare to bet now? Does Zhenwu Army dare to bet?"

After hearing Shen Jianzhong's words, Wang Muzhi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and shook his head sadly.

Although he still doubts whether the Cui family has decided to support Ye Mingsheng, Wang Muzhi also knows one thing very well, that is, the Zhenwu Army cannot bear the risk of losing the bet...

Once things are really as Shen Jianzhong thought, then the Zhenwu Army will lose everything. It is a small thing for them to be defeated and die. If they delay the great cause of the chief minister, they will really die.

!

"In this case, what should we do now?" Wang Muzhi asked Shen Jianzhong:

Wang Muzhi's words had not yet completely finished, and when Shen Jianzhong was about to answer, Cao Xin burst into the room again and said to Shen Jianzhong urgently:

"Sir, my spies are here to report that Ye Mingsheng has just ordered the whole city to be under martial law. The camp in the north of the city has also transferred two thousand soldiers into the city, and one thousand of them are coming to us!"

As soon as these words came out, both Shen Jianzhong and Wang Muzhi suddenly changed their expressions.

"No, Ye Mingsheng has already discovered that the secret message has been stolen! He is going to betray him and use your and my heads to send a letter of surrender to the Cui family..." Shen Jianzhong smiled bitterly.

Said to Wang Muzhi:

"snort!"

Wang Muzhi snorted coldly, then showed his fierce look and said viciously:

"Ye Mingsheng has a pretty good idea. He wants my head. His surname is Ye, and he doesn't even want to see if he has the ability!"

Compared with Wang Muzhi who wanted to fight Ye Mingsheng desperately, Shen Jianzhong seemed much calmer. He thought for a while, with a flash of light in his eyes, and immediately told Wang Muzhi who was about to greet his men and fight Ye Mingsheng to the end.

road:

"Master Wang, it will take some time for Ye Mingsheng's people to arrive. Now you can put on a disguise and leave through the back door to go to the Sun Kee Tavern on Beisantiao Street in the city!"

"The boss there is a secret agent of our Supervision Department, and the secret code for contact is "I miss you forever, but I miss you forever!"

"After you tell him the secret code, he will protect your safety and send you out of the city!

Hearing Shen Jianzhong's words, Wang Muzhi showed hesitation. As a general, he did not want to abandon his men and escape alone. Rather than escaping, he wanted to fight to the end with Ye Mingsheng's rebels. Let Ye Mingsheng...

A wolf-hearted man, let’s see what is the character and blood of the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Seeing Wang Mu's appearance, Shen Jianzhong could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and said anxiously:

"Master Wang, please stop hesitating. You are the commander of the Zhenwu Army. If you stay here, the Zhenwu Army will be finished! Please put the overall situation first!"

Wang Muzhi made up his mind and nodded after hearing this, but he still subconsciously asked Shen Jianzhong:

"Then what are you going to do, Mr. Shen? You and I can go together!"

"No, I'm going to find Ye Mingsheng and have a good talk with him!" Shen Jianzhong straightened his clothes and said in a very free and easy manner;

"Master Shen, this is too dangerous! Ye Mingsheng is a thief with vicious methods. You are undoubtedly falling into a trap!" Wang Muzhi tried his best to dissuade him:

Shen Jianzhong waved his hands and said in relief:

"Don't worry! No matter what happens, I will still be his teacher! He still has concerns about me. If he kills me, it will be genicide, and everyone in the world will poke his spine!"

"I believe that Ye Mingsheng has not completely turned against the Cui family, and things are still turning around. For the survival of the Zhenwu Army, I must seize this last opportunity!"

Seeing Shen Jianzhong with a calm expression and willing to go to the disaster, Wang Muzhi's respect for him spontaneously arose in his heart. He bowed to Shen Jianzhong and gave a long salute, then quietly left according to Shen Jianzhong's arrangement.

After watching Wang Muzhi leave, Shen Jianzhong looked much more relaxed. At this moment, Cao Xin, who was following him, whispered:

"Sir, let me go with you to see Ye Mingsheng!"

"No need, you are still young, go away!" Shen Jianzhong said with a smile:

"Sir, I am willing to follow you even though I am wounded by the sword and in the sea of ​​fire..." Cao Xin said firmly:

Feeling the firm will in Cao Xin's eyes and knowing that he could not persuade him, Shen Jianzhong could only shake his head helplessly, then pointed to the sparrow's body on the ground and said:

"Take her with you!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Cao Xin put the sparrow's body on his shoulders.

In this way, Shen Jianzhong took Cao Xin out of the Antai Inn and waited for the arrival of Ye Mingsheng's men. He did not let the two men wait for too long. Ye Dong took thousands of soldiers and surrounded the entire Antai Inn.

The water is blocked!

Although it was already a sword-to-sword encounter at this time, since Shen Jianzhong was still his young master's teacher after all, Ye Dong still maintained basic respect for Shen Jianzhong. Seeing Shen Jianzhong standing outside the door, he decided to bow first and then fight, and stepped forward to greet him.

said:

"Lord Shen, the General Military Mansion was stolen. Our General Soldier was furious and ordered us to search door to door throughout the city. Now it's the turn of the Antai Inn where you live. Sir, do you think your army will come out or we will go in?"

After glancing at Ye Dong and then at the murderous Fengzhou soldiers behind him, Shen Jianzhong waved his hand to Cao Xin to put down the sparrow's body, and then said lightly:
Chapter completed!
