Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 277 I want to visit Guodu

On the battlefield, the most difficult place is naturally the front line of the battlefield, where the forward is.

Wang Dun, Gao Shi and others asked for orders to join the battle, but they were sent to the front line. After thinking about it, they must have looked very good.

After the affairs of these scholars were over, Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Chang'an, saying that everything is normal in Chang'an, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"It's just the calm before the storm." Wang Mang said with a sneer, "Let Shang Yang be careful, he is the most prone to accidents when he is on the cusp of the storm."

Wang Mang has already received news that Chang'an City seems to be peaceful, but since he left Beijing for only a few days, Chang'an City has entered a lot of new faces. According to the news from Jin Yiwei, these people are either related to Qi or Chu. They are connected, and the purpose of coming is very clear, they are all to inquire about Li Wenjun, Baishi and others.

Bailu Academy and Jixia Academy are the most powerful forces in the world. After suffering such a big loss in Chang'an, it is impossible not to find their way back. It's just that they seem to have scruples now, and they are hostile to each other, so it's too late I haven't done it yet.

But sooner or later, Wang Mang was prepared for it.

"By the way, Wuji, you came at the right time. I have something for you to do here. It is also for a group of scholars in your staff office who have no energy and no place to find some work." Wang Mang looked at his eldest grandson Wuji road.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji said.

"The rebel Wang Xi led his troops back to Shenshui County. There is a Shenshui River between Shenshui County and Shenmu County. There used to be a bridge on this river, but when Wang Xi fled, he demolished the bridge along the way. As a result, the army is now unable to cross the river and is headed towards Shenshui County." Wang Mang said: "I plan to rebuild a bridge on the Shenshui River, and I am going to hand over this project to you."

"I obey the order." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "It's just that I don't know how to build, and my subordinates don't have the ability to build. This bridge...?"

"Don't worry, Aiqing, I have already prepared for you. Before I left Chang'an, I asked for a few people from the Ministry of Industry. Now I will give these people to you." Wang Mang said: "In addition, as far as I know, your subordinates Among the scholars there are also those who are proficient in construction, you can go and learn about it.”

"I understand." Changsun Wuji blushed. Although he led the scholars, he never knew them. It wasn't until Wang Mang said that he knew that there were still people who could build under him. It seemed After I go back, I need to get to know these scholars well.

When Changsun Wuji left, Wang Jian and Wang Yongji met with serious expressions.

"Why do you two lovers have such expressions?" Wang Mang said with a smile: "Now our army has taken the Shenmu, we have to wait for the Shenshui Bridge to be built, but in a few days, our army will be able to take the Shenshui, and even directly kill the rebel king. Xi captured it, at this moment, the two lovers have made such an incomparable achievement, they should be happy."

"Your Majesty, don't run on the two of us." Wang Jian said with a wry smile: "I have been fighting against the rebels in the south for two years, but I have not been able to eliminate the rebels so far. When Your Majesty comes, the rebels will be forced to die." Escaping from Shenmu County is all due to His Majesty's Tianwei, if it is truly an unworldly feat, it is also due to His Majesty alone."

"You guys are just too modest!" Wang Mang smiled and said, "Well, why are you two here?"

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the frontline spies, the rebel Wang Xi has sent envoys to contact Guo State and Xu State." Wang Yongji said with a gloomy expression: "It is reported that Guo Changfu of Guo State has sent envoys to contact Wang Xi long ago. , seems to want to do something that is not good for Daqin, but at that time Wang Xi didn't seem to agree, but he didn't object. At that time, Guo State gave him the conditions."

"Do you know what kind of transactions there are between Wang Xi and Guo Guo?" Wang Mang said.

"I don't know." Wang Yongji said: "The main body of the rebel army is the princes and nobles and leading generals in the south. Not many of our people broke into the rebel army and gained high positions. A few of them can't be moved easily, and There is no guarantee that they will know these things, but according to my guess, there is nothing more than land, money and other transactions between Wang Xi and Guo State."

"Master Wang is right. Guo State is trapped in the mountains and forests, and has always hoped to obtain land on the plain, and use it as a springboard to expand." Wang Jian said: "I have been in the south for the past two years, and I have met many people from Guo State. , they seem to have a great love for the land that can be cultivated, and many wealthy businessmen from the Guo State have purchased a lot of land in Daqin."

"In addition, Guo Changfu, the monarch of the Guo State, has expressed in public more than once his ambition for Qin to be close to the land of the Guo State." Wang Yongji added.

"Then what do you think of the two lovers?" Wang Mang said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought they would take precautions early in the morning!" Wang Yongji and Wang Jian said at the same time.

"Prevention?" Wang Mang pondered for a moment, and then said: "You two, at this time, there are some things that I am going to explain to you two."

Wang Yongji and Wang Jian looked at each other, and then said: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"What do you two think I brought so many people to the south for?" Wang Mang said.

"Suppress the southern rebels." Wang Jian said.

"Rebels?" Wang Mang sneered and said, "Wang Xina's 20 people are only huddled in the three counties of Shenmu. Is it worth me to bring a million troops? Wang Jian, if I don't want to come, I want to come with you With his talent, within a year, this Wang Xi will have to be beaten to pieces by you."

"Chen..." Wang Jian wanted to shake his head and deny it, but Wang Mang said directly, "Don't be modest, I understand your ability by asking myself."

The Son of Heaven has said so, and if Wang Jian continues to deny it, then he is not being modest, but hypocritical, so he nodded slightly.

Wang Mang is indeed right, even within a year, within half a year, the situation in the southern war will definitely change. He Wang Jian is a famous general in the world, and he would not have played hide-and-seek with Wang Xi here for so long. Love soldiers like sons, Wang Jian couldn't bear to use the bones of soldiers to pile up successfully, which allowed the rebels to be at ease until now, and now with the continuous delivery of the court's military salaries, the time for the decisive battle in the south has arrived. , Wang Jian has also started to formulate a Pingnan strategy.

Why did Wang Jitang surrender? Was he really frightened by the majesty of the emperor?Maybe, but Wang Jian had done a lot of work before, and this happened. As soon as the news came that the emperor's personal conquest came, Wang Jitang surrendered without saying a word.

Wang Yongji glanced at Wang Jian, but said nothing. He knew Wang Jian's talent better than anyone else, and he also knew that the southern war situation was actually dragged down by the court's embarrassing finances.

"Guo State has always been somewhat disobedient to Great Qin, and Guo Changfu even colluded with Xu State under my nose, colluded with the traitor Wang Xi, and even colluded with South Korea." Wang Mang looked at Wang Jian and said: "I'm very dissatisfied with Guo State. This time, I want to visit Guo Capital. By the way, I would like to ask Guo Changfu, what exactly does he want to do?"

Ah!
Wang Yongji and Wang Jian were startled, and looked at Wang Mang in shock.
