The three hundred and fourteenth chapter worship under the account
When Wang Ba mentioned that he had become a bandit, he became furious.
He widened his small eyes and said harshly: "The governor's family used their power to oppress others and bully men and women. When I saw injustice on the road, I accidentally beat the person to death. After that, I took the family members and ran to Pingdingshan."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu with an apologetic look and explained: "General Liu, I am a villain here. I never rob or oppress ordinary people. It was only today that I heard that officers and soldiers were passing by that... I dared to block the road. I don't know why.
General Liu is passing by here, please forgive me!" After a pause, he added: "I have long admired the reputation of General Liu, and I would like to worship under the general's tent. I hope the general will take him in!"
Seeing that Feng Yi knew the details of Wang Ba and that there was no disgust in his eyes when looking at him, Liu Xiu had a rough idea of Wang Ba.
He bent down, helped Wang Ba up, and at the same time untied the rope around his body, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan is young and promising, has great ambitions, and is not afraid of power. Uncle Yuan can come to help me, but I can't welcome him in time, so what?"
It will be pushed outward!"
Wang Ba was overjoyed when he heard this. He first bowed respectfully to Liu Xiu, then knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please accept the courtesy of Uncle Yuan!"
Liu Xiu first gave Wang Ba some help, and after Wang Ba finished kneeling down, he helped him up again, laughed loudly, and said, "Uncle Yuan, please get up quickly!"
Seeing that Liu Xiuzhen wanted to accept Wang Ba, everyone else was very happy. Only Ma Wu had a gloomy face and looked extremely unhappy. He said: "My lord, Wang Ba is vicious and insidious, so be careful with him."
It’s a scam!”
Wang Ba turned around and rolled his eyes at Ma Wu. Ma Wu could say that he was not capable enough or that he was not good at learning, but he couldn't bear to criticize him for his bad morals and being vicious and sinister. He said loudly: "Subordinate, I'm sorry.
My lord, I have admired your name for a long time and respected you very much. It is my lifelong blessing to be able to get to know my lord today and to gain his respect. If my subordinates have second thoughts, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and the king will die without a burial place."
Liu Xiu's face straightened, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle Yuan's words are serious..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ba suddenly bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "The Analects of Confucius says: A gentleman's virtue is the beauty of an adult; a villain's soil is the evil of an adult. His subordinates thought that some people claimed to be loyal, but in fact they looked despicable.
He is vicious and has vicious thoughts. My lord is a gentleman and a faraway man. He will definitely accomplish the great cause of the Han Dynasty and restore the country of Han Dynasty!"
Wang Ba did not mention Ma Wu by name, but when he said this, his eyes kept looking towards Ma Wu.
When Ma Wu heard this, he was so angry that it went straight to the tips of his hair. He was so angry that his beard and hair were all bald, and he roared: "Wang Yuanbo, who are you talking about?"
"Whoever answers the conversation is naturally talking about who he is talking about." Wang Ba glanced at Ma Wu and said lightly.
Ma Wu was about to burst with anger. He tried to step forward, but Feng Yi and Yao Qi took the lead, stopped him, and whispered, "Zizhang is happy and angry, Zizhang is happy and angry!"
"Fighting for strength and fighting ruthlessly is definitely not the behavior of a gentleman. Even if you are loyal and righteous, you will only have an empty stomach. It is difficult to achieve great results, and you are not worthy of being a general in the army and a role model for all armies!"
Wang Ba is a small-minded person who loves to hold grudges. If anyone offends him, he will definitely not let the other person take advantage of it. This is a typical ruffian character.
But he also read poetry and books, and when he spoke, he always spoke in a consistent way, which made people feel very reasonable.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of being a gangster, but you are afraid of being a gangster with culture. Wang Ba is just such a person. If the competition is not about skill, but only eloquence, ten horses and warriors tied together will not be able to compete with one Wang Ba.
At this time, if Feng Yi and Yao Qi hadn't stopped him, Ma Wu would have rushed forward and fought Wang Ba desperately. Even with them blocking him, Ma Wu looked at Wang Ba angrily, as if he was about to burst out.
Like fire.
Looking at Wang Ba with a relaxed face, and then looking at Ma Wu with unspeakable anger, Liu Xiu felt angry and funny. He had to secretly admire Wang Ba's eloquence.
Zizhang had a hot temper, but he could not be easily angered by a few words. However, Wang Yuanbo had the ability to make Zizhang so angry that his orifices would smoke with just a few words.
He waved his hands to the two of them and said seriously: "From now on, all brothers, as Han ministers, should unite sincerely and must not fight among themselves and cause internal strife!"
Ma Wu was unconvinced and was about to speak, but Wang Ba bowed to Liu Xiu seriously and said, "I will remember your lord's teachings!"
Liu Xiu nodded to Wang Ba with a smile. Upon seeing this, Ma Wu suppressed his anger, raised his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "My lord, I understand."
Wang Ba suddenly remembered something, turned sideways, waved his hand and said: "Master, come to the mountain to talk! Please!"
With Wang Ba leading the way, Liu Xiu and his party climbed to the top of the mountain.
Seeing the residence of Wang Ba and others, Liu Xiu could tell that what he said was true. Although Wang Ba and others became bandits in Pingdingshan, they did not rob the local people. Otherwise, they would not live in such a simple way.
.
There are more than a dozen thatched houses, all of which are temporary structures without walls. Even Wang Ba's own residence has drafts leaking from all directions when entering the house.
There wasn't even any decent furnishings in the room, no tables, chairs, or beds, just a layer of straw mats on the floor.
Liu Xiu came from a lower-class background and had lived a hard life, but he had never lived such a hard life. Wang Ba looked embarrassed and said sheepishly: "My lord, my humble house is simple and there is no place to sit..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiu happily sat down on the straw mat and asked, "How long has Uncle Yuan lived here?"
Wang Ba coughed dryly and said, "I've been living here for half a year. Fortunately, I have some savings at home, and my father occasionally sends people to deliver some food. My brothers and I won't go hungry here."
Ma Wu sneered disapprovingly and said: "I have the strength and the brothers No. 180, and Pingdingshan and Xiangcheng are very close. If it were me, I would have taken my brothers to Xiangcheng."
You are still hiding here and becoming a turtle grandson, you are really a coward and a waste!"
Wang Ba said tit for tat: "You, Ma Wu and Ma Zizhang, have been under the lord's tent for so long, but have you ever conquered a city or a town by yourself?"
"you……"
"What are you?! You can't do it yourself, so you have the nerve to talk to others? After living so long, you don't understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you? It comes from your heart! You look despicable and vicious.
, His heart must be killed!"
Wang Ba frowned and looked at Ma Wu with a serious and worried expression.
Ma Wu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He held the knife pole in one hand and the sword in the other. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard, you and I haven't decided the winner just now. How about we go out now and tell the difference?"
?”
As long as Wang Ba dares to challenge, he will dare to chop him alive today.
Wang Ba said sternly: "The courage of one person is the courage of an ordinary man. The courage of leading ten thousand people is the courage of a general! Although I, Wang Ba, are not talented, I am determined to be a general!" He said, I am not like you.
Everyone cares.
Ma Wu couldn't help it any longer and was about to step forward again. Yao Qi on the side held his arm tightly and shook his head at him. The first was to signal him not to be impulsive, and the second was to signal him not to get into a verbal dispute with Wang Ba.
, you can’t blame this person.
Seeing Ma Wu glaring at him angrily, grinning, as if he wanted to eat him alive, Wang Ba ignored him, turned to Liu Xiu, and asked: "My lord, why did you lead your army into Pingding Mountain this time? My lord... but you want to
Take Xiangcheng?"
Pingdingshan is not a strategic location, so there is no need to send troops to garrison here. Even if they are garrisoned here, they should not be cavalry, but infantry.
Therefore, when Liu Xiu led so many cavalry into the mountains, they were most likely passing by.
There are only Fucheng and Xiangcheng near Pingding Mountain. Fucheng is located in the west and is remote and not an important place. Therefore, the real goal of their group should be Xiangcheng.
After hearing what he said, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up and he nodded secretly. Wang Ba was a very talented person. By entering Pingding Mountain, he could tell that the target he wanted to attack was Xiangcheng. Not bad!
He did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Uncle Yuan's guess is right. I am leading the troops north this time, and the target is indeed Xiangcheng! Uncle Yuan is from Xiangcheng, so he should know the situation in the city better. I don't know that Uncle Yuan
Is there any good strategy?"
Wang Ba looked happy, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "We are indeed going to attack Xiangcheng. This is great! The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and common people in Xiangcheng have been doing evil for many years. If the lord can lead our Han army to garrison
Xiangcheng will definitely be welcomed by the people of Xiangcheng!"
Ma Wu said angrily: "My lord is asking you if you have any good strategy to capture Xiangcheng!"
Wang Bali ignored Ma Wu and said to Liu Xiu: "My lord, my subordinates believe that if you hit the snake seven inches, you can capture the thief first and capture the king first. If you can kill the county magistrate and county captain of Xiangcheng first, my lord will then send troops to capture Xiangcheng."
The city will be easy to build!"
Liu Xiu nodded. Before his own army attacks the city, it would be great if he could kill the county magistrate and county captain first, leaving Xiangcheng County soldiers leaderless. However, this is not easy to do!
While Liu Xiu and others were lowering their heads to ponder, Wang Ba rolled his eyes and said happily: "My lord, I remembered something! In two days, it will be the day when Li Hun, the son of the county magistrate Li Wen, will get married.
At that time, County Magistrate Li Wen and County Lieutenant Jia Xuan will definitely be present, and this is a good opportunity to get rid of them both in one fell swoop!"
It is impossible to forcefully break into the county government office and assassinate him. Not to mention it is difficult to succeed, even if he succeeds, it will be difficult to escape in the end.
But it's different to assassinate someone at a wedding. You can also bring Li Wen and Jia Xuan together, which is indeed a rare opportunity.
"Does Li Hun have a mansion?"
Wang Ba nodded quickly and said, "Li Hun is already married, but his wife passed away due to illness earlier."
Liu Xiu was thoughtful, and after thinking for a while, he said: "What is the current situation of Xiangcheng's city defense?"
Wang Ba said: "There are a lot of county soldiers, at least more than two thousand, but most of them are new soldiers."
Liu Xiu asked: "Bo Yuan, can you bring us into the city?"
Wang Ba was stunned for a moment, widened his eyes, and asked in horror: "Is the Lord also going to the city?"
Liu Xiu said seriously: "Sneaking into the city to assassinate someone, how could I not participate in such a big thing?"
"But……"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and asked: "After the matter is completed, can we arrange an escape route?"
Wang Ba said: "My home is not far from Li Wen's mansion. After the matter is done, can you come to my home to take refuge?"
"If the county soldiers come to search, wouldn't it involve your father?"
Wang Ba said: "Don't worry, my lord, there is a secret room in my house, which is very hidden. I hid in the secret room and avoided being hunted by the government officials!"
"Well!" It's good to have such a secret room to hide in! Liu Xiu asked: "How many people can Uncle Yuan bring into the city?"
"This..." Wang Ba hesitated for a moment and said, "I can bring up to five or six people."
In the past, it would not be difficult to sneak into Xiangcheng, but now the Han army has conquered Kunyang and entered Yingchuan with great fanfare. Although Xiangcheng is not close to Kunyang, it is not far away.
At present, Xiangcheng has already been under martial law, and strict inspections are required for the entry and exit of personnel. It is not easy to bring a large number of people into Xiangcheng at the moment.
