Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 269 Safe!
Although Wang Mang had already received a secret report, Wang Kun stabbed the four words "serve the country with loyalty" on his back, but when he really saw these four words, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel a little confused, because these four words have too many meanings , had to make Wang Mang think more.

But Wang Mang quickly put this matter behind him, looked at Wang Kun and said, "I have seen your loyalty, this time you came here for your father, what good news will you bring?"

"There is a piece of good news that I want to share with Your Majesty." Wang Kun took out a letter from his cuff with a smile, handed it to Li Lan, and said, "Your Majesty, this letter was received by my father three days ago. The insiders of the rebel army should confirm that it is true, and here it is presented to His Majesty, God bless Qin."

While Wang Kun was speaking, Li Lan had already checked the letter and handed it to Wang Mang. Wang Mang was taken aback when he opened the letter. He looked at Wang Kun and said, "Is it really written by Wang Jitang?"

"There is no doubt about it." Wang Kun said with a look of affirmation: "Have someone confirm the handwriting."

Wang Mang immediately rejoiced and said: "It seems that my trip is safe!"

Wang Jitang, the nominal heir of the rebel army, the nephew of the rebel leader Wang Xi, his father and Wang Xi launched the rebellion that swept across the southern part of Qin Dynasty two years ago, and was unfortunately shot by an arrow during the battle with the imperial court, and died of serious injuries In order to stabilize the overall situation of the rebel army, Wang Xi established Wang Jitang as the successor of the rebel army, and publicly stated that if he died, the rebel army should be headed by Wang Jitang.

According to the report of the spies, although Wang Jitang is not well-known, he has a very high reputation among the rebels. In two years, he has integrated his father's old department, and his party members account for a quarter of the rebel forces. It can be said that It is the largest force in the rebel army besides Wang Xi.

And this person, three days ago, wrote Wang Jian, the imperial court's conquest of the South General, claiming that he deeply felt the majesty of the imperial court, His Majesty Tianwei, and wanted to surrender to the imperial court, and also directly revealed the current situation of the rebel army's defense. He didn't leave any room for it, he didn't even ask about the court's attitude and arrangements for him, and he directly led people to surrender.

At this time, the emperor personally marched, and Wang Jitang's surrender undoubtedly made the southern expedition almost foolproof. A quarter of the strength of the rebel army surrendered directly under the leadership of the heir in name of the rebel army. In , the blow to the rebels was almost devastating.

The right time, place and people are the three major criteria for measuring the outcome of a war.In the past, Wang Mang occupied the sky, the rebels occupied the territory, and the people were divided in half. It can be said that the war really does not tell who wins and who loses. But now that Wang Jitang has surrendered, it can be said that Renhe is directly on the side of the court, and Wang Jitang provided It can be said that the imperial army directly occupies the three factors of time, place, people and the three major factors, and the balance of victory has been completely pressed by the imperial army.

Wang Mang couldn't help but be happy about this, and looked at Wang Kun with a smile on his face and said: "Wang Kun, I didn't misread you, and I didn't misread the three generations of your Wang family. You really brought good news to me at this time. According to my will, Wang Kun bravely killed the enemy on the frontline battlefield, I am very happy, and I will be promoted to a military rank."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!" Wang Kun quickly kowtowed, he knew that it would be beneficial for him to come this time, but he never thought that the emperor would be so generous as to directly promote him to a general position. Originally, he only thought that Some money will be rewarded.

At this time, Li Lan and the others also realized that Wang Kun had indeed brought the good news that would determine the outcome, and quickly congratulated Wang Mang loudly.

Wang Mang smiled and said, "You all get up."

He looked at Wang Kun again and said, "Wang Kun, you know Li Lan. This is Li Guang, the trusted commander of the Habayashi Guards. He is known as a flying general, but he is a fierce general. You will be transferred to Li Guang's name in the future."

"I have seen General Li." Wang Kun hastily cupped his hands to Li Guang.

Although Wang Kun is not well-known, Li Guang has always valued talented young people, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, we are all brothers in the army!"

In a word, the relationship between the two of them was pulled into a lot immediately, and Wang Kun also felt a lot better about being inexplicably transferred to Li Guang's name. After all, it is hard to find a boss who is easy to get along with.

"Li Lan, go get someone to call Wang Yongji and others. The news brought by Wang Kun has brought great changes to the military situation on the front line. There should also be changes in our army. Let them come over and discuss together. Discuss." Wang Mang said again.

His Majesty wanted to recruit, Wang Yongji and others came very quickly, Wang Mang asked Li Lan to hold Wang Jitang's letter for everyone to read, and then said: "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, is there any deceit?" Wang Yongji raised his brows and said, "The Wang Jitang minister has heard that although he is young, he is indeed a very talented person. After integrating his father's old department, his status as the heir of the rebel army who was not favored at first is also sitting securely. I heard that Wang Xi wanted to touch him several times, but in the end it was nothing. Such a person, I think Be careful."

"Your Majesty Wang is right." Haifeng usually doesn't speak on such occasions, but today he spoke unexpectedly. Passed Wang Jitang, although he was young at the time, he was extremely intelligent, and it was rumored that he had the ability to never forget. Among the clan, this person was famous at a young age, and he was once regarded as a rising star of the clan. His Majesty had to guard against such a person. .”

Wang Mang glanced at Wang Yongji and Haifeng in surprise. He never thought that these two important officials of the court would have such a high opinion of Wang Jitang. You must know that these two masters are usually "outspoken". Eighty percent of what you say is true.

Wang Kun was a little anxious when he was on the side. This is the credit he brought, and he was promoted to a level based on it. How can these two uncles be easily obliterated like this, but he also knows that he is a soft-spoken person here. Without His Majesty's decree, he must not speak indiscriminately.

Wang Mang glanced at Wang Kun, and said calmly: "Wang Kun, you brought the news, tell the two adults what happened."

"Abiding by the decree." Wang Kun nodded quickly, and then said: "The last general Wang Kun has seen the two adults. Wang Jitang's letter was delivered to the general three days ago. The sender bit his tongue and committed suicide as soon as the letter was delivered. As for the authenticity of the letter, the general thought over and over again, and finally activated several internal agents from the rebel army to confirm it, and even..."

Wang Kun stopped talking, took a peek at Wang Mang, and finally gritted his teeth: "The general even sent his cronies to infiltrate Shenmu County in the end, and exchanged tokens with Lu Xiao, Wang Jitang's top counselor."

Speaking of this, Wang Kun kowtowed directly to Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the general didn't say anything about it before, but that the general was afraid to say it. It will make people mistakenly think that the general has an affair with the rebels. The general's loyalty to the emperor can be shown to the sun and the moon, please learn from your majesty!"
