When Marquis Siping asked him to lead a team of thousands of people to infiltrate hundreds of thousands of people in a roundabout way, Wang Sheng didn't say anything, but he wanted to find out the reason and he felt the same way.
Could it be that Pingjiang Houfu’s reply is the answer?
Wang Sheng raised his ears and decided to listen more clearly.
"Master Marquis, the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion was in trouble, and the entire city was burned to the ground." The messenger panted.
Wang Sheng was stunned. This was an answer he had not expected.
No matter how hard the two princes fight, they have to consider the cost of rebuilding the city in the future and the reputation of killing people indiscriminately, right?
The Marquis of Siping was furious, looked at him with his hands behind his hands, and gritted his teeth and said, "Listen, what's wrong with removing the people in advance?"
Throwing half a piece of dried meat in his hand on the ground, he stamped his feet and cursed: "How can I trust them when they ascend the throne! That is a city and a city of people. Even if the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion has a huge crime, the capital is still there and cannot tolerate it.
Others are acting wild."
Wang Sheng slowly picked up the half piece of dried meat. They were out and about, so they tried their best to cherish the dry food. However, the general's posture was stiff and sluggish, bringing his inner confusion to the surface.
In his mind, he quickly came up with maps of the three locations of Prince Shunxing, Prince Qingchang, and the Marquis of Pingjiang. The directions of the two Princes to the capital. If that was the head, Guangyang City would also be at the head, and Pingjiang.
The territory under the jurisdiction of the Marquis Mansion is closer to the end of their area.
It is understandable that Shunxing would besiege Guangyang City with the idea of entering Beijing. If Shunxing had Guangyang City, in addition to the smooth supply of supplies, he could also blackmail the Qingchang County Prince from entering the capital. Vice versa, the same was true for Qingchang.
It is completely unnecessary to destroy the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion first.
This move revealed that the two county princes had first eliminated their differences and eliminated those who did not agree with their entry into the capital or even held a wait-and-see attitude.
Wang Sheng could have imagined that Shunxing Qingchang had a greater chance of winning the throne due to its large number of soldiers and horses, and the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion should also be able to imagine it.
Compared with either of the two princes, the Pingjiang Hou Mansion, just like the Siping Hou Mansion, cannot compete with the soldiers and horses. Pingjiang Hou is not in the area that blocks the entry of the two princes into the capital. He can pretend not to know that the two princes are coming to the capital.
Stay on the fence until the new emperor ascends the throne.
The Marquis of Pingjiang wouldn't be so stupid as to run hundreds of miles away and stand in front to block someone from entering the capital.
"Is this," Wang Sheng took a breath and finished his sentence: "In the name of going to Beijing, killing people to seize military power?"
By annexing the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion, you can get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which will increase your chances of winning the throne.
When the Marquis of Siping heard this, he and Wang Sheng looked gloomy, as if a solar eclipse had suddenly appeared.
The man who came back took a breather and presented the evidence he had retrieved, including several weapons from the two princes.
After Sipinghou and Wang Sheng took a look at it, they said in unison: "Why are there no weapons from Pingjianghou's mansion?"
"I couldn't find it. I only saw half of the plaque of Pingjiang Marquis Mansion."
"Have you searched carefully?"
"I didn't search the scene carefully, but when I found these weapons, I looked casually and couldn't find them."
Sipinghou raised his eyebrows, and Wang Sheng looked happy.
"Master Marquis, it's hard to say whether the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion will be destroyed or survive."
Marquis Siping also said: "Yes, even though I haven't seen Marquis Pingjiang for many years, I heard that his family is full of scheming people. Otherwise, how could they suppress three families of princes and one family of marquises? They shouldn't fall easily."
"The one closest to him is Taiping Hou. Could he have gone somewhere?"
"It's hard to say."
Wang Sheng was not deliberately testing, but from a tactical point of view, he should advise: "Master Hou, are you really saving Guangyang City, or do you just want to contain Shunxing Qingchang's troops? The best way is to join forces with Taiping Marquis first.
Although the Taiping Marquis has only a small number of soldiers and horses, only 10,000 people, but he is the surname of the country, and he also has the right to enter the capital and sit in the golden palace. If his people stand in front of Shunxing Qingchang, they can suppress others based on their seniority."
After saying this, Wang Sheng thought to himself that the Marquis was unwilling to answer the purpose of his detour just now. If he said this, he would be asking for an answer in disguise.
Sure enough, Sipinghou looked at him meaningfully, chuckled and said: "We don't have time to unite the troops now, so don't be nagging. Eat and rest quickly. We will set off at noon. According to my military order, we must arrive at the designated place in the evening and the watch must start.
Feint attack."
Wang Sheng ate in silence, silently savoring the words of Marquis Siping.
Who does he send away?
If someone is picked up, who is picked up?
As early as when Lei Fengqi ascended the throne, news came out that at least a hundred people from all over the country who had a stake in the throne were out, including more than thirty uncles, brothers, brothers and princes in Beijing, and the rest were in other provinces.
We know that Shunxing Qingchang, Taiping Marquis, and Xuchang Marquis all have a share in the throne, which is related to the fact that their mansions are also prominent in this generation, while the bloodline of the imperial relatives who have no enough food in other provinces is unknown.
The Marquis has only 30,000 elite soldiers plus 20,000 levied troops and horses. With Master Yu by his side, do you dare to pick up an unknown royal relative and send him to ascend the throne?
Master Yu, can he agree?
Wang Sheng was puzzled, but after asking a few questions, his doubts were relieved a lot. Then he rested and set off without any nonsense.
...
That night, Miao Bao and his party marched thirty miles again, getting closer and closer to Guangyang City.
In peacetime, the road of 1200 miles could be reached in one day or one night, but now it is not possible. After Siping Marquis pretended to attack a place and attracted troops, Miao Bao and his party dared to take a small road to bypass it.
Everyone rested in different places, preparing for the next feint and preparation for the next pass.
...
There are still eighty miles away from Guangyang City, and the road is blocked by the company's camp, making it impossible to see the way forward.
Lei Wuchen, who entered the mortal world in troubled times, maintained his chic demeanor, and his snow-white coat was not stained by dust. He probably changed it several times a day to maintain this appearance.
His complexion was now snow-white, the same color as his coat.
Not to mention him, Yin Feng and Pin Lu also turned pale with anger. They clenched their fleshy fists and encouraged them: "Sir, let's fight with them. Even if they both want to ascend the throne, there is no need to attack the city first. This inland area
The people in the city can no longer live their lives."
The three masters and servants were sitting in a gorgeous carriage. In the carriage was Lei Wuchen, and the carriage was driven by two boys.
Faced with the company blocking the way, cars and BMWs could not pass. Lei Wuchen walked down angrily and said angrily: "You won't let us pass? We insist on going. Boy, take your baggage and carry it on your back. Let's just walk a few steps."
yes."
"Okay."
Yinfeng happily got into the car to get his luggage. After Pinlu got off the car, he hugged the two snow-white horses in front of the car and said to his ears: "Be good, go home by yourselves. Don't be kidnapped on the way."
The carriages and horses turned around, there were three masters and servants, two bags and three musical instruments. Lei Wuchen only carried his own piano, and the two boys each carried a baggage with their own flutes on their waists, looking for a way between the companies and camps.
pass.
Suddenly, Yinfeng raised his hand: "Sir, our purple bamboo flute! There are thieves who have stolen the flute."
Lei Wuchen shrank his head and walked back: "The evil little fish actually came to Guangyang City, let's run away."
Pinlu pinched her fat forehead and said, "Sir, please stay here, there is no flute thief there."
"No evil little fish?"
Lei Wuchen came back in high spirits, looked at the group of people across a forest from a distance, and smiled happily: "It is indeed our flute, and there is indeed no thief who took the flute. I am really happy today, even the evil little fish was beaten and robbed by others.
