Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 731 Who Can Be My Wife

Hangu Pass.

Wang Jian returned to Hangu Pass with the remnant soldiers from Hanjiang City. Wang Yi, who had already prepared, went back to the army tent to meet Wang Jian.

Wang Jian waved his hand and said, "Don't call the military doctor for the time being. This minor injury is nothing. Let the military doctor mainly treat the wounded soldiers. Let me ask you, how are the preparations in the city going?"

"The 20 elite soldiers have already arrived at the top of Hangu Pass, ready to meet the enemy at any time." Wang Yi said: "The outer city has also prepared 20 elite soldiers to replace them at any time, and there are 40 elite soldiers piled up on the entire city wall. People come to attack, but they can also defend.”

"Can it only block 100 million people?" Wang Jian frowned. , then this matter will be troublesome."

"Why don't you worry, old general, with me here, the city defense of Hangu Pass can be increased by another 50.00%." ​​Cheng Bushi stepped into the room.

Wang Jian looked at Wang Yi in a daze, and Wang Yi hurriedly said: "This is Master Cheng Bushi sent by His Majesty to assist the defense of Hangu Pass. Master Cheng is good at defensive operations. It is said that in the battle of Yunzhong City, Master Cheng only used After a few days of hard work, the defense of Yunzhong City has been doubled, and after this one item, it can be used as a million troops."

"That's ridiculous." Cheng Bushi smiled and said, "I just have some experience in city defense."

As a general of the Qin State and a family of generals, Wang Jian had already obtained a lot of detailed information about the Battle of Yunzhong City. When he learned that Cheng Bushi was the general beside Wang Mang who was very good at defending the city, Wang Jian immediately stood in awe and said, : "I think what Wang Yi said is a bit low. I have no shortage of generals who can fight in Daqin. What is lacking is a general who can defend the city. The general can double the defense of Yunzhong City. There is absolutely no problem in strengthening the city defenses of the pass to five layers, I believe that the general can do this, the general can save countless casualties for my Great Qin elite with just one move, and he is indeed a famous general in the world."

Cheng Bushi is also a knowledgeable person, he quickly said: "The general is the real famous general in the world, he can attack and defend, unlike me who can only defend the city, compared with the general, I am far behind. "

Wang Jian was very satisfied with Cheng Bushi's attitude, neither arrogant nor haughty, neither humble nor overbearing, the key is still very sensible, and immediately said: "Wang Yi, General Cheng was ordered by His Majesty to come to Hangu Pass to help defend the city. General Cheng will be responsible for all the city defense, and I will ask you for your full cooperation."

"No." Wang Yi nodded quickly, and he would do it without Wang Jian's words. The last time he was caught in a trick, was poisoned and almost died, and missed a major court event. If you want to restore the impact of this incident, you must firmly grasp the emperor's thigh, and Cheng Bushi is the emperor's confidant, so you must cooperate no matter what, now with Wang Jian's endorsement, Wang Yi don't Talking about withdrawing some supplies, even if Cheng Bushi asked him to hand over the command of the army, Wang Yi would do so.

Looking at Wang Yi's appearance, Wang Jian couldn't help sighing. His own son knew that Wang Yi was very talented at first, but he had changed since the last setback. Fortunately, Wang Yi had a What a good son, he got on good terms with the emperor early on, otherwise his royal family might not have been rich for three generations.

Cheng Bushi and Wang Jian chatted a few more words, then took a token from Wang Jian and went straight to inspect the city defense. When Cheng Bushi left, Wang Yi was a little puzzled and said, "Father, Cheng Bushi doesn't seem to have Speaking of the bombing of Hanjiang City, did His Majesty not explain it to him?"

"Who is your Majesty? Do you think he will not explain?" Wang Jian shook his head and said, "This Cheng Bushi is a man of great wisdom. He knows what to ask and what not to ask, but he knows about the affairs of Hanjiang City but he doesn't hear about it. Ask, it’s actually very simple, it’s just that you didn’t want to understand it.”

"Also ask my father to teach me." Wang Yi said hastily.

"The matter of blowing up Hanjiang City is something that His Majesty entrusted to you and my father and son. Now that this matter has been halfway through, if Cheng Bushi intervenes in this matter, then as the emperor's confidant, he must be taken from you and me." The above will share half of the credit, so you and I will feel uncomfortable, Cheng Bushi knows this very well, so he doesn't ask, he knows that if he asks, can you and I not give him credit?" Wang Wang Jian shook his head and said: "Besides, there is a risk in blowing up Hanjiang City. The risk is not whether it can be blown up, but how many civilians will die. When I led people to evacuate, there were still some civilians left in Hanjiang City. Once the city of Han River is blown up, most of these people will not survive. It is not good to kill civilians at any time and for any reason in history. Cheng Bushi must have seen this and cherished his feathers, so he did not I would like to get involved."

Wang Yi suddenly realized that he is also a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to push him to his current position just because of Wang Jian's achievements, but Wang Yi's brain is more used on the battlefield, and he has never been concerned about these twists and turns in the court. How do you know, now that Wang Jian reminded him, not only the things that Cheng didn't know, but also many other things were suddenly cleared up.

"Father, when should we blow up Hanjiang City?" Wang Yi said: "According to the investigation by the spies, about 50 Han and Zhao armies have entered Hanjiang City after you withdrew, Father. 40 enemy troops will die."

"40 people are too few." Wang Jian said coldly: "The first wave of Korean and Zhao armies alone has reached 130 million people, and there will be at least one million people in the follow-up. 40 people are compared to more than 200 million people. It’s only a fraction, far from enough in quantity, and it’s better to find a way to attract more people into the city.”

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Wang Yi shook his head and said, "The spies in front reported that nearly 70 people are already heading towards Hangu Pass, and they must be coming to Hangu Pass soon. I'm at Hangu Pass."

"Arrogance!" Wang Jian sneered, and said, "Last time they were lucky enough to barely have the chance to attack Hangu Pass. This time, I was well prepared at Hangu Pass. Only 80 million people wanted to catch us by surprise. It's really delusional."

wishful thinking?

Shi Gandang looked at the Hangu Pass that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and countless rages burned wildly in his heart. His hatred for Daqin continued endlessly. He should have broken through Hangu Pass last time and became famous all over the world. Unexpectedly, after the Great Qin Emperor Wang Mangyu personally conquered Hangu Pass, he was defeated at Hangu Pass after he was already sure of winning. He even put himself in prison and was almost ransacked and wiped out. With deep hatred coming, Shi Gandang almost smashed Hangu Pass with his eyes.

"Come here, go and shoot this letter into Hangu Pass, and tell Hangu Pass that this general is here again. This time, this general is not going to leave."

Shi Gandang waved his hand, wrote a letter out of thin air, then threw it into the hands of a young general, gave an order, and then yelled at the army behind him: "Warriors from the land of Han and Zhao, conquer the Qin State, capture the Emperor alive, To leave a name in history, at this moment, this general will boil up his fighting spirit."

"Roar!" Behind Shi Gandang, the 70 Han-Zhao coalition forces roared up at the same time. They looked excited, and under the leadership of the leading fighter, they suddenly accelerated and began to run. They cheered and jumped, carrying endless letters of killing intent. Guguan rolled away.

call out!
An arrow carrying Shi Gandang's letter landed beside Wang Jian who had heard the news and rushed to the top of the city. Wang Jian took out the letter, glanced at it, sneered, and shouted to the messenger team downstairs: "Go back and tell Shi Gandang, After this battle, he really wants to stay in Hangu Pass forever, but he wants to sleep forever in Hangu Pass from now on!"

The Han army scout team summoned made Wang Jian's roar almost fall off the horse. The swaying appearance made the Qin soldiers on the top of the city laugh when they saw this scene. The Han army team really had no face to continue He stopped at Hangu pass, and went away on the horse.

Wang Jian's words soon reached Shi Gandang's ears, and Shi Gandang said angrily: "Old man Wang Jian, do you think you, Qin, have a chance this time? Troubled times are approaching, and all countries in the world will be reshuffled, so let I, Shi Gandang, wiped out Qin from all the kingdoms in the world with my own hands, and since then it has been passed down through the ages."

After roaring a few times, Wang Jian waved his hand to signal the army to continue to rush towards Hangu Pass. He knew very well that Hangu Pass was difficult. The last time he was defeated because of lack of preparation, if he had an army of 50, he would have already entered. Hangu Pass, this time he came with an army of 70, and even prepared ten god-killing crossbows. This time, he will not give Qin any chance to make a comeback.

Shangyuan Palace.

Shangguan Wan'er said with a displeased face: "Your Majesty, you should know that I handed over the government affairs to you at that time in the name of not interfering with the affairs of the government from now on. Even the harem was temporarily taken over by me because Your Majesty has no heirs for the time being." Li, now that Your Majesty suddenly entrusts me with the affairs of state after your Majesty goes to Hangu Pass without my consent, isn't Your Majesty afraid of my disapproval?"

"I know the queen mother will not ignore it." Wang Mang said with a smile: "I also know that the queen mother is very difficult, but after I leave, I don't feel relieved to hand over this court to anyone."

"Don't you still have a clone? Just leave it to him." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"He's gone." Wang Mang said.

"Going away? Can the clone still go?" Shangguan Wan'er had an expression that you thought I was stupid.

Wang Mang was also very helpless, how could he understand why this avatar of Wang Laoshi suddenly had some consciousness of his own and then left the palace to find his own way, Wang Mang has not figured out what his way is now , How did a clone suddenly realize the Tao.

Looking at Wang Mang's expression, Shangguan Wan'er understood that Wang Mang hadn't lied to him, she frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, all avatar techniques come from the Taoist ancestor's Three Flowers Gathering Top, Five Qi Chaoyuan, and One Qi Transforming Sanqing I don't know what His Majesty's clone technique is, but Your Majesty must remember that sometimes the relationship between the master and the assistant is not so clear."

Daozu?Three flowers gathered at the top, five qi towards Yuan, one qi transforming Sanqing?Is there any ambiguity between the main and auxiliary?

Wang Mang didn't understand why Shangguan Wan'er said these words suddenly, but he knew that Shangguan Wan'er never harmed him, since there must be a reason for this reminder, but now he is too shallow to know the meaning of Shangguan Wan'er's words.

Shangguan Wan'er knew that Wang Mang didn't understand, and she didn't force Wang Mang to understand, she just said: "Your Majesty still needs to find a suitable person to take charge of the government affairs after His Majesty leaves. After all, I don't always stay in the palace."

"Ah?" Wang Mang was taken aback. Although he had suspected that Shangguan Wan'er often left the palace, this was the first time he had confirmed from Shangguan Wan'er that Shangguan Wan'er did indeed often leave the palace.

"What's so surprising about this? Didn't Your Majesty already guess it?" Shangguan Wan'er said.

"It's one thing to guess, but it's another thing to be sure." Wang Mang said, "But if the Queen Mother is not here, can the Queen Mother choose someone to be in charge of the government?"

"No." Shangguan Wan'er said directly: "Although I have presided over the government affairs for some years, for me, the government affairs have never been my interest. The Shangyuan Palace presided over the government affairs for many times, and Bao Si and the other four were in charge. Not to mention that Li Yueru has already been arrested by His Majesty, but the remaining three are not suitable to continue hosting on my behalf, so I don't have any suitable candidates in my hands right now."

"Then what should we do?" Wang Mang said.

"I have already thought of a way for His Majesty before, but His Majesty himself seems not to be very happy." Shangguan Wan'er said.

"The draft girl?" Wang Mang immediately thought of when Shangguan Wan'er entrusted Wang Xiu to help him select the draft girl. The matter was over after Wang Xiu was beaten by Wang Mang and Wang Xiu hid at home behind closed doors, but he didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er suddenly brought it up at this time, Wang Mang frowned and said: "Queen Mother, I always think that free love is better than blind marriage."

"Free love?" Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, if someone else said that, Aijia might encourage him, but if His Majesty said such a thing, Aijia would solemnly tell His Majesty that, as the Son of Great Qin, you Everything about your marriage and your life before you became a saint does not belong to you personally, but belongs to the whole Daqin."

Wang Mang raised his brows and said, "What does the Queen Mother mean? Is it to force me to marry a wife?"

"Your Majesty thinks too much, and His Majesty is unwilling to force you." Shangguan Wan'er said: "Aijia just wants to tell Your Majesty that from a political point of view, although marriage may not be reliable, marriage is the best way to bring the two major forces closer together. The method, although the current Qin family is not weak in concealment, but since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who thinks that they have many allies, and push out those who should be allies to become enemies."

"The queen mother said that, meaning that the queen mother has prepared a queen for me here?" Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I don't know which girl it is, so the queen mother likes it?"

Wang Mang's eyes just looked at Shangguan Wan'er so coldly, Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wang Mang happily and fearlessly, and said, "Your Majesty really wants to know?"

"Think." Wang Mang said, "I really want to know who can become my queen?"

"Empress, there is no candidate for the time being, but there are already a few concubines." Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "The Ai family is still investigating, and the other party is also observing. If His Majesty wins the battle of Hangu Pass, the matter will be settled." It's about to be put on the agenda, does Your Majesty have any questions?"

"Is the queen mother determined to marry me?" Wang Mang looked at Shangguan Wan'er coldly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
