I have just recruited a group of capable ministers from the Wagang Army, and now it is my turn?
Wu Xin really couldn't figure it out. Unless he was ambitious and wanted to be the leader of the country, being a minister of Liguo could be said to be the best treatment in the world. In addition, now that Liguo was so prestigious, all the forces tried their best to prevent their subjects from defecting to Liguo. Why?
Are there any Liguo people who want to rebel?
The sixth-rank Weinan general Di Zhen, the sixth-rank Yingzheng general Di Zheng, the sixth-rank Nan Zhengong Cao Dilin, Wolong Duke Dilong...
Wu Xin communicated with the "vassal list", and the list of ministers who wanted to rebel was somewhat unstable. It was easy to find the ministers from the country who "intended to rebel", and soon they roughly guessed what was going on.
The officials who had the problem were all barbarians, and they were basically the leaders of the barbarian army marching south.
"court death!"
Wu Xin's eyes were cold, and he just ordered the four houses to act, but he paused in time and began to think deeply.
Seriously speaking, except for a few barbarian courtiers, everyone else can only say that they have the intention to rebel, but have not yet decided. It is really inappropriate to overturn a boat of people with one pole.
Apart from anything else, Duke Wolong, Emperor Long, the censor of the Three Lords, Priest Dimo, Elder Dizheng, and the leader of the accompanying army, Bo Di Mingdie, etc., except for Emperor Long who showed a vacillating stance, the other three showed no obvious signs of betrayal, even Di Mo
The priest didn't know anything about it and didn't react at all.
More importantly, based on what Wu Xin knows about the barbarians, especially the southern barbarians and the southern environment, if you want to conquer the south, you really cannot do without the help of the barbarians. Otherwise, Li Guoguo will be stuck in the southern battlefield and will be unable to extricate himself. The army will suffer heavy losses.
If they miss the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains, they will suffer huge losses. This is one of the main reasons why Wu Xin generously promised to "capture the eastern capital".
Where is Dongdu?
Of course, one has to have great achievements to be worthy of such a great reward.
"Some are determined to rebel, others are still hesitating, and most of them show no signs of rebellion or are unaware of it. We certainly can't deal with them all, lest they chill people's hearts! What's more, they haven't really rebelled yet, so how should we deal with them?"
Wu Xin racked his brains and thought. He originally thought that it would be easier for the Ancient Barbarian Imperial Clan to take the lead in conquering the Southern Barbarians, and maybe they could solve the Southern Barbarian problems that countless dynasties had struggled to solve without bloodshed.
Who knows, now it is obvious that the ancient barbarian imperial clan has been instigated by the southern barbarians to rebel. Things are unpredictable!
…
Lidu, the palace of the imperial censor of Sangong.
With Dilong's acquiescence, Elder Dizhen and other anti-Li faction quickly sent people to Lidu to contact the priest Dimo.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Liguo is the city with the most powerful people and the most immortals. Di Zhen, Di Lin and other leaders of the Southern Expedition did not dare to return to the capital rashly. Instead, they sent a great monk from the imperial clan who was not among the civil and military officials.
Emperor Ironthorn comes.
Priest Di Mo had just returned home with a solemn expression when he received news from Di Tieji secretly requesting an audience, so he met him with doubts.
"Priest of God?!"
Di Tieji told the truth about the situation in the south, the Southern Barbarian tribes and the decisions of the Imperial clan, etc. However, when he saw the face of the priest Di Mo was gloomy and silent, with obvious anger rising, he couldn't help but shout in anxiety, after all, what he was talking about was a major matter of treason.
"I just came back from the palace!"
Priest Dimo God stared at Di Tiezhi with sharp dagger-like eyes and said inexplicably.
"..." Di Tieji was puzzled and speechless.
"On my way back home, I thought about it all the way and couldn't figure it out. Now I finally understand!"
Priest Di Mo's gloomy face remained unchanged, and he said to himself. He paused and continued in a deep voice: "My king has been in seclusion, and there are no surprises in the war in the south. It is basically a good news. Why did my king suddenly decide to go on a personal expedition?
?”
"ah?"
Di Tieji's mouth opened wide. Being able to serve as the liaison person for such an important matter is naturally quite shrewd. In a blink of an eye, he understood what the priest Di Mo meant. He couldn't help but shook his head solemnly and continued:
"Impossible! There are no more than ten people who know about this, and they are all core members of our clan. They will never betray!"
"Whose idea was this? Young Master?" Di Mo didn't bother to dwell on the issue and asked solemnly.
As powerful as the Emperor's Iron Thorn, he was so nervous that his cheeks were sweating, and he quickly responded: "That's not true, the young master knew it, but didn't say anything, he just acquiesced. It mainly depends on the wishes of the priest!"
"What do you want me to do?" Di Mo asked with a glare.
"This..." Di Tieji opened his mouth and was speechless. He was just a messenger runner, how could he know?
Emperor Mo laughed angrily and calmly reminded: "My king is driving the army personally, and the three princes and nine ministers are not allowed to leave the capital or leave their posts without permission, no matter what reason. I dare say that as long as I dare to leave the capital without permission, I will not even leave the capital.
Don’t go!”
"How is that possible? With the strength of the God Priest, who in the world can keep the God Priest?" Di Tieji exclaimed in disbelief.
The Imperial Clan is the most brave and capable of fighting among the barbarians, the priests are the most sacred and mysterious beings, and the barbarians are famous for being difficult to deal with.
With the power of Priest Dimo, there is nowhere in the world that he cannot go to?!
"If it were so simple, since the founding of our country, no one would dare to cause chaos in Lidu? I have just been promoted to the divine realm (fairyland), do you really think that I am invincible? Even if I can leave, what will the people in the city do? Sacrifice them
?”
Priest Dimo God responded angrily, paused, sighed and continued: "Besides, you underestimate my king and our country too much. The living environment of our clan has just improved, so why are you messing around?"
"Then... the god priest doesn't agree? This is indeed an excellent opportunity for our clan to make a comeback and regain the country! Those who achieve great things will naturally have to make sacrifices." Di Tieji said solemnly and with some reluctance and awe-inspiring righteousness.
"Pass on my king's oral message: Emperor Mo, the imperial censor, will immediately bring people to the palace for an audience!"
Just as Priest Dimo was about to speak, a high-pitched and feminine voice suddenly sounded and spread throughout the house.
"Ah?!" Di Tieji's face turned as white as paper and he exclaimed.
Priest Di Mo's face also changed drastically. His body swayed and then he held back, his face changing rapidly.
Bringing people?
Who to bring?
Do I need to say it clearly?
Di Tieji was panicked and in disbelief, he stammered and asked for advice: "God... God Priest... appears... now... what should I do?"
"Let's go! What else can we do? Do you still think you can leave?"
Priest Di Mo took several sharp breaths, exhaled for a long time, his voice was hoarse and smiled bitterly. He paused for a moment, and when he saw Di Tieji's eyes wandering, he couldn't help but remind him: "Now that the matter has come to this, do you still think that my king doesn't know about it?
Is it a coincidence?"
"This...this...this is impossible! Anyone who knows this will never betray our clan!" Di Tiejiao muttered in a daze.
Priest Dimo didn't agree just now. As one of the three princes and a priest, he has a high position and great significance. He should not be touched lightly. King Li may not necessarily deal with the priest. What should he do as a person who instigates rebellion?
Cut into pieces with a thousand cuts? Divided into pieces by five horses? Devoured by thousands of poisons?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Di Tieji also knew that the matter had been exposed, and King Li knew his whereabouts clearly, it was just his front and back legs, so how could he take any chances?
"Hey... don't think too much! What should I do if I don't think about us now, but what should I do if I only think about my clan?"
Di Mo reminded him with a long sigh, thought about it, and comforted him:
"Don't worry! Our clan has not really done anything so far. My king is quite generous to his own people, so he may not necessarily do anything to you. Otherwise, it would not be Hua Gonggong summoning us, but the strong men surrounding the house!"
