Chapter 1293 1293: Concealing the truth (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
A group of high-quality warriors joined Kang Guo's branch in the central continent in such a magical way, successfully making up for the current imbalance between civil and military affairs. This also allowed Shen Zixu Tang's power to expand and quickly became a weapon that could threaten the heart. Sharp blade.
The forces along this road cooperated with Qu Guoli and Wai, and the effect was remarkable.
It was precisely because it was so obvious that it aroused Zhai Le's suspicion.
What do you suspect?
Naturally, she suspected that Shen Tang was lying before.
It is suspected that Kang Guo still has the strength to mobilize troops here while dealing with the Southwest Allied Forces, and this is fundamentally different from Shen Tang's previous promise. Zhai Le remained calm and ordered people to secretly investigate the truth. He transformed into Zixu and managed time in the central continent. Short, how can she win over so many combat forces in a short period of time? It is normal for her to hide it from Qu State. After all, Qu State has limited external penetration, but it is outrageous to be able to hide it from the central countries. The forces in the central continent are complex, and they have not been managed by her for many years. Talk about Northwest!
When investigating matters in other countries, the intelligence network of the Gods Society will be more accurate. Within two days, Yu Hai's deputy sent the detailed inside story to Zhai Le: "Before the Lord takes a look, it's best to put down the tea cup."
Well, it's best not to have anything in your mouth.
Zhai Le smiled and put down the tea cup in his hand: "Have you seen it?"
The minister's expression was hard to describe: "I took a look."
Zhai Le thought about Shen Tang's endless tricks in his youth, and he felt confident, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
It took the young and calm minister a long time to hold back his true thoughts.
"Well...it's shocking!"
"It's natural, she always has so many unexpected abilities." When Zhai Le said this, his heart felt refreshed and his eyes were smiling, "...it's like...the most amazing stroke in the chaotic world of scribbling."
When the minister thought about the content, his expression became even weirder.
Amazing, very amazing indeed!
Zhai Le opened the booklet.
Zhai Le closed the book.
Zhai Le sat cross-legged and crossed his chest on the throne, bulging with energy like a puffer fish, with some traces of his childhood.
After a while, he said in a daze: "Is this okay?"
Because most of the country's leaders abuse the national destiny for their own selfish purposes, coupled with poor national governance, there are almost no countries that do not have a deficit in the national destiny, and the national destiny allocated to military generals is not always measured on time. This has also led to some brave warriors Refuse to solicit, choose to dominate the mountain and become a local tyrant among the people. This group is a mixed bag, and even gold can be found in the waves.
The State of Qu promoted many generals who were former folk rangers.
They each have their own specialties and varying levels of strength.
As a result, my friend easily used two boxes of calf-nosed robes and a little force to intimidate, and with the two-pronged approach, he recruited so many powerful generals for his own use. Alas, no, it seems that other countries, including Qu State, have Very silly!
When other countries recruit talents, they either rack their brains to recruit them or sell them with a lot of money. But when it is Shen Tang's turn, she doesn't have to do anything or spend money. She just comes to the door with a small nose and asks people to fight for her.
Zhai Le can highly summarize it in one sentence at this time.
If you heroes are being coerced, please blink!
Courtier: "These reckless men are really unpredictable."
How many people came to invite people with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but these people all made things difficult and looked down upon them. They sneered at the high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but couldn't take their eyes away from the two calf-nosed crotches...
How is this not a miracle?
Zhai Le held his head: "I can't figure it out."
As everyone knows, let alone an outsider who can't figure it out, the victims who are involved in the matter don't understand either. With so many enemies joining in to help, it is naturally not difficult to conquer the city. Taking advantage of the attention of the royal court being attracted by Qu Guo, Shen Tang also accelerated the pace of expansion. .
Some of these sites are themselves victims' nests.
A typical example is the neighboring county magistrate.
Regarding this special situation, Shen Tang accepted it all.
After a small victory in the battle, she was generous and arranged a celebration banquet with a wave of her hand - although in the eyes of the victims, there was no need to celebrate such a victory. But since Shen Tang was the host, they naturally did not I will feel sorry for Shen Tang's money.
"What kind of celebration party is it without singing and dancing?"
The only thing worthy of praise is the rich variety of dishes.
Many of the dishes have never been seen before, and they don't know where the specialties are. After a brief taste, they tasted good, which barely relieved their resentment. They couldn't help but complain, they had never seen something like this in their entire lives. A shabby banquet.
The vast majority of victims are not convinced by Shen Tang.
Even if Shen Tang showed his strength to absolutely suppress them, and even brought some monsters and enemies into his account, personal strength belongs to personal strength, and power belongs to power. Which power's development depends entirely on the force of one person? As opponents, they are convinced; as ministers, We still have a long way to go before they can be convinced. This is not something that can be won with just a few small dishes and a few false and empty good words.
Due to the fact that they had lost to Dubisi against Gong Xiqiu and the others, and because Shen Tang was not weak at all, he could barely give him some face.
On the contrary, who is willing to pay attention to her?
The atmosphere of the banquet was very dull.
There is a clear distinction between civil and military officials, and they do not communicate with each other.
Some of the victims also knew each other. They were close to each other but did not dare to look at each other. They were afraid of seeing sympathy or ridicule in each other's eyes. Such humiliating experiences are so shameful that they want to be covered up. Who would want to publicize it? It is shameful. It's really embarrassing!
So we made a tacit agreement and unanimously chose to turn a blind eye and not recognize it.
"Hey, I don't even have any wine."
Just as he complained, dozens of soldiers entered carrying dark wine jars.
The wine altar was tightly tied with red cloth, but you could still smell the mellow aroma of wine when you got closer. All the victims were very powerful, so they could naturally feel that the aura of heaven and earth became active in the aroma of wine. Needless to say, it was definitely... Good wine, don’t ask where the wine comes from.
As long as you can drink it into your stomach.
"Um?"
“Good wine!”
Spiritual wine has been around for so many years, and the Central Continent is the place with the best information about resources. How could Shen Tang let this big piece of cake go? Overtly and covertly, he was developing sales channels. He was running a serious business on the surface, and he was also smuggling under the hood. All of you here The victim is also considered to be the best among brave warriors, so he naturally has the opportunity to come into contact with good things like spiritual wine. But good things are not authentic.
When I tasted it today, my face changed.
Shen Tang sat at the top and observed the faces of the victims.
She smiled and poured herself a cup: "In the early days of creation, my money is tight, and I don't have much good things to entertain you, so I will punish myself with a cup first."
"W-where is it..."
Victims who resist communication with the outside world exchange glances with each other.
For a moment, I was a little unsure whether Shen Tang's words were true or false.
Not just any family can do this, but some of them were invited to the banquet. Although the wine at the banquet was effective, it was bland and tasted better than the rice wine we usually drink. After only two bowls of this wine, their faces started to burn, and they felt a little tipsy. They were also worried that there was something added to the wine, and they were secretly lucky enough to travel through the meridians without finding any clues. They just felt that the martial energy in the meridians was more active and agitated than before. …
One by one, they drank to cover their thoughts.
Putting aside the humiliation of the calf, this wine is very good!
Few of the courageous warriors were not good at drinking. They drank according to their usual drinking capacity, but they misjudged the stamina of the drinks.
As the alcohol got to his head, his mind was numbed.
As they drank and drank, the atmosphere finally calmed down, and the embarrassment that almost made people suffocate before was gone. A military general with white hair and beard took advantage of his age and drunkenness to ask what was on his mind: "I don't know if the female monarch has gathered a crowd to start an uprising, but... What are your plans?"
In other words, how ambitious is she?
What goal are you ready to achieve before you stop?
These people are just helping out for a short period of time, and they are here because they have no choice. Once the time is up to pay off the debt, they will all return to their respective positions without mercy. However, for the sake of these drinks, if the goals are not much different, You can also be tolerant.
For example, when she was about to leave, she had achieved 99% of her goal, and the remaining points would not waste much time. If the relationship was good during the period, he would be willing to stay and make up for the last bit, without taking any favors from the other party, and he would treat it as his own. Good deeds.
Shen Tang said: "I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."
"Humph, I've lived for seventy years, and I'm still scared?"
Shen Tang shook the wine cup: "I want the central part of the world."
"What a big breath."
"Where there's a will, there's a way."
Only those who fail to complete the task are arrogant.
Seeing her serious expression, the general with white hair and beard exchanged glances with the others and couldn't help pouring cold water on Shen Tang: "It's admirable for the female monarch to have such an ambition, but one must also take a look at the reality. With the female monarch's current background , it’s not difficult to get a piece of land, but if you want more, it’s not easy. If you really want it, I can show you a clear path, maybe there’s a chance.”
If you want to hang out in the central area, you have to visit the pier.
If a country wants to be established for a long time, it also needs to win over wealthy families.
Without the support of wealthy families, I'm afraid it won't work.
Everyone here, especially the Victims Alliance, are all from ordinary folk backgrounds and have no favorable impressions of the wealthy families in the central region, but they have to admit these rules of survival. If a young lady wants to gain a foothold, it is best to recruit the children of wealthy families for help.
Otherwise——
It's easy to be targeted.
"When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, when the flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will bloom. The fragrance will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor." Shen Tang was so drunk that her eyes were blurred. She lazily held her chin and tilted her head, asking a meaningful question. Everyone said, "Gentlemen, have you ever heard of Huang Chao?"
For a moment, the whole place was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Shen Tang seemed not to notice, and chuckled: "Why are you so serious? I didn't say that I wanted to imitate Huang Chao. I just thought of Kang Guo. He is not far behind Huang Chao."
She doesn't mind doing everything in the central continent for what she failed to accomplish in the northwest continent. At worst, she could frame the crime on Zhai Le, whose straight waist is perfect for taking the blame.
The victims let out a sigh of relief.
There were many people among them, and they were keenly aware that the expressions of the scribes did not change, as if they had not heard what shocking remarks Shen Tang said. You must know that it is easier for aristocratic families to produce scribes, and the more outstanding scribes, the higher their origins. Each person has a good temperament, unlike what ordinary people can raise...
This is quite interesting.
After the celebration banquet was over, He Shu sent Shen Tang back.
There was no one around, and Shen Tang, who had been drunk just now, regained his clarity. He said: "Your Majesty, this move is too rash."
After all, the central continent is dominated by aristocratic families.
There is no guarantee that none of these people are from aristocratic families.
The master recited Huang Chao's words, his malice was too obvious.
Shen Tang said: "We have different paths and we don't want to conspire against each other. Instead of breaking up in the future when the relationship becomes deep, it's better to figure it out now."
As for bringing trouble?
That's not the case.
Firstly, the news was transmitted too slowly. By the time someone jumped out to deal with her, she would have probably already joined Qu Guo. Secondly, her power in the central continent was still too small, just like a stronger ant jumping around. Kill the elephant...
The elephant won't care.
Shen Tang smiled again and said: "Don't you think that I am recruiting them, and they are all welcome, right? Before Jimo Qiu challenged these people, he had a brief understanding of their background. According to the information they provided, and Jimo Qiu's Divination, these people will be included in my plan. Today's celebration banquet is purely for everyone to get familiar with each other. By the way, we can see that they clearly know other people, but they have to pretend to be unfamiliar for the sake of face... "
It’s a great tool to lighten your mood!
He Shu: "..."
To put it bluntly, you just want to see these people laugh?
This cunning and narrow-minded hobby is indeed the same as Qishan. How else can these two be emperors and ministers? He Shu complained in his heart for a while, and the control of his body was taken away by the congratulatory letter. He listened to the congratulatory letter and asked: "The Lord is not happy. , but the front line lost?"
Shen Tang said: "It's not considered a defeat."
The good mood of the night disappeared without a trace.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and recalled: "It's just that I have been playing the Thirty-six Strategies for so many years, but I didn't expect that someone would turn an army against me and make people run away under my nose. That was really a... cunning opponent..."
There was not much displeasure in her tone, but more of a hunter appreciating the calmness of his prey as they fled here and there. The resistance of the weak was also a kind of fun in her opinion. He Xin never went to the southwest front, and was kept in the custody of Qi Yuanliang. They were all working. If the central region had not matched the attributes of his eldest brother, he would not have had the chance to run out and get some fresh air, but he knew who the opponent his boss was talking about was.
"So tricky?"
"It's just a stubborn resistance." This speech sounds a bit like a villain, and he is also a villain who opened the champagne at half time and was slapped in the face. "She wrote a sincere letter to Shousheng, and Shousheng gave the letter to me. These are all in Her plan was to create an illusion - an illusion that the army was trapped in a desperate situation and had no choice but to make a foolish move. Is this actually the case - "
In fact, they had already run away.
When Shen Tang said this, his teeth became sore.
She thought of many possibilities. She speculated that the deserters might be Mei Meng's trick. They looked like deserters, but in fact they were elites secretly plotting against Chen Cang. They cooperated inside and outside to attack Kang's troops. She also speculated that Mei Meng used Lu Jue to pass on wrong information to her and took the opportunity to counterattack... ...I even guessed that among the deserters were spies from the Southwest Allied Forces. The spies took advantage of the chaos to send out battle reports and moved in to rescue the troops.
Mei Meng didn't do these bells and whistles.
Deserters are real.
It is also true to prepare for a last-ditch battle.
However, it is true that a deserter became the leader of Qi State.
Shen Tang commented: "It's really shameful to do this."
She gave each other a step down.
With enemies on all sides in place, why didn't the leader of the Qi Kingdom follow the example of the Overlord and make a dignified exit? Instead, he left Mei Meng behind and escaped with other elites from the Southwest Allied Forces. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to make a dignified exit next time. .
"Isn't this the return of the tiger?"
"There is a prerequisite for letting the tiger return to the mountain. The tiger you let go must be a tiger." Shen Tang chuckled, "Now it seems that it is just a sick cat with no courage. It's a pity that Mei Meng really has the momentum to fight against the odds. It's just that the most crucial breath was pinched away by her lord. Now, it's time to catch the turtle in the jar!"
