In the eyes of the imperial court, even if Gao Shaoyi was conferred the title of General Pingnan, Gao Shaoyi would not be able to mobilize other armies besides suppressing the captives. After all, Marshal Zhang was known for being tough to the outside world and took his own territory very seriously. Why? Maybe he will hand over all his troops to Gao Shaoyi?
Therefore, they believed that even if Gao Shaoyi defeated the Rakshasa Empire's fleet, if he wanted to gain some benefits in the three southern provinces, he would definitely have a conflict with Marshal Zhang. After their conflict was over, the court would come out to clean up the mess. At that time, for For the court, it was of great benefit and no harm.
Although we have agreed to unite with Gao Shaoyi, most of the things in the political scene are lies. If it is beneficial to us, let alone a verbal agreement, so what if it is a written agreement? Isn’t it just a piece of paper? ?
It's a pity that they don't know the true relationship between Gao Shaoyi and Marshal Zhang. After the golden seal of General Pingnan is issued, Gao Shaoyi can truly mobilize all the forces in the three southern provinces.
Of course, we have to do something serious before that, which is to kill the two Wang Luming brothers. With the golden seal of General Pingnan, it can only be a nominal transfer. Other warlords around may be unconvinced. But if the leader is killed, Gao Shaoyi will have the right time, place and people in his hands, will others still dare to dissent?
As expected, the people from the Governor's Yamen delivered the order at noon. When Wang Luming saw the golden seal of General Pingnan on it, he knew that this thing was true and it couldn't be fake.
"What should I do, brother? At worst, let's rebel. We can't leave Buddha City anyway..."
Wang Ludu was also a little panicked at this time. It turned out that he didn't know much about the combat effectiveness of the suppressing army, but he knew that they were a bit tough. However, after reading that little newspaper, Wang Ludu also felt a little scared. Although they were building in the Buddha City Various defensive offensives were carried out, but there should be a gap compared with those of the foreign devils. The Suppression Army was not unambiguous when attacking the foreign devils' concession, let alone our place.
Furthermore, even our weapons and equipment are not good. All the ammunition is bought from foreign devils, and most of them are a bit outdated. It is still possible to deal with the army in the province, but if it is to pay the suppressing army, and The army wielding swords and spears is not far behind.
"You idiot, if you rebel now, do you think you have a way out? Of course we can't leave Buddha City, but we have to think of other reasons. If you dare to disobey, I'm afraid we will Just because Old Man Zhang, an old fox, can't do anything to us, doesn't mean that that kid from the capital can't do anything to us."
The 30,000 troops entrenched in Fucheng really made Marshal Zhang unable to find a way to defeat them, mainly because the military strength gap between the two sides was not large. However, for the suppressing army, this did not pose any difficulty at all.
Wang Luming didn't know that Buddha City was their base, and there was still a glimmer of hope here. If they left here, based on what the two brothers had done, they wouldn't be wronged at all if they were cut to pieces.
"Report..."
While Wang Luming was thinking of a solution, another messenger ran in from outside. These people were not from Lanzhou City. They should have come from the border of Buddha City.
"Reporting to the Governor, our army has found troops suppressing the captives in the southeast direction. They number about 5,000 and carry heavy weapons. They have also been found in the southeast direction. The number of soldiers is unknown at present."
After hearing the report from the people below, the letter in Wang Luming's hand fell to the ground, and he sat on his seat. The suppressing army came too fast. Maybe they had guessed that they would not execute the order. Their army
They have already reached the door. If I dare to say no, I am afraid these people will start fighting.
"Damn you, you don't take us seriously anymore. Why are you still standing there? Hurry down and order the whole army to assemble."
Wang Ludu has a wild nature in him. Although the Suppression Army is relatively powerful, he doesn't think that his people have the strength to fight back. What's more, the Suppression Army people have traveled a long distance and have no idea about the situation here.
Understand, no matter what we do, we are still in the hands of local snakes, and our 30,000 troops can still resist.
"Fuck you, come back to me. No soldiers can be used without my order."
Wang Luming quickly stopped his men. Is the reputation of the Suppression Army a joke? Are all the victories they have achieved nonsense? Even if one family is talking nonsense, it is impossible for all the enemies to be talking nonsense.
, so the combat effectiveness of the Suppression Army is absolutely real. Even if we, the locals, want to go against the Suppression Army, isn’t that just watering our heads?
"Call Master Zhou to me."
Wang Luming thought of his first adviser. This matter must not be fought head-on. If he had to fight head-on, although the fight has not started yet, Wang Luming has already seen the final result, which is that his side will fall apart, and even the point will be broken.
You can't even see the scum.
"I don't care what method you use to go back and collect one million silver coins for me."
After Wang Luming finished speaking, he looked at his second brother. Since we can't fight hard, we have to give gifts. As long as the gifts he gives are heavy and thick enough, there will be no one in this world who doesn't like money.
What is the purpose of fighting? Isn't it just for the interests at hand? If you can have a large income without fighting, then who is willing to fight on the battlefield? No one's army is blown by the strong wind.
"Brother..."
Wang Lu obviously didn't want to pay this part of the money. Usually, he was very happy to send money to his house, but if he was asked to take out the money, it would be more uncomfortable for him than cutting his flesh.
"Shut up. If you still recognize me as your elder brother, go back and get money right away. Master Zhou will immediately set off to Nanzhou to meet the Duke of Guo. If you are lucky, we can buy one with three million silver coins."
Fate, if we are unlucky, we will all die here."
When he heard this number, Wang Lu next to him was dumbfounded. Although they were also local emperors, Fucheng was not wealthy at all, so the money they had was extremely limited. Three million silver coins was almost as much as they had
Most of the family property was invested in the army. If this money was given to Gao Shaoyi, would they have been working for others all these years?
