Chapter 403: Killing two birds with one stone
In fact, Zhang Xiong had the same question as Duanmu. Since Xie An was determined to create a tragedy in the court, why should he recommend the Weijie to become the General of the Vehicle and Cavalry, and also the Commander of the Imperial Army? Are you really not afraid that the Weijie will become an uncontrollable variable?
You know, Wei Jie has the ability to fight back and turn the world around. Could it be that Xie An is really so confident?
Liu Muzhi could understand some of it, but he just asked him to explain it, but he couldn't say it. At that moment, he could only shake his head and look at Wei Jie!
"Mr. An wants to count birds with one stone!" Wei Jie said with a wry smile.
"From the beginning, An Gong did not underestimate the ability of the Wei rank. However, An Gong was an extremely confident person and had the spirit of adventure. He arranged the Wei rank next to Sima Yao, so that the Wei rank was at a high position in the court and commanded the imperial guards. He thought he was preparing to let the Wei rank take the blame for the darkness of the court!"
Liu Muzhi suddenly realized and said, "I guessed it long ago. Gong An was afraid that he would have the idea of asking Wei Jie to help Sima Yao fight against Wang Gong and Sima Daozi. After all, if the emperor was too incompetent, he would not be able to take the blame for indulging the slander ministers. In this way, Gong An was very thoughtful!"
"That's true. At that time, Wei Jie's fate will be tied to Sima Yao. He is a foolish monarch, and Wei Jie is a slander!" Wei Jie shook his head and said.
"Then we will be executed in public together, and An Gong will naturally be able to ascend to the great treasure!"
"Mr. An really disappointed Zhang Xiong again and again!" Zhang Xiong sighed.
"If I hadn't known the general and learned so many secrets, who would have thought that Xie An, the number one scholar in Jiangzuo, who was famous in the world, would be such a sinister and cruel person!"
"No, Mr. An is not sinister and cruel!" Liu Muzhi shook his head and said.
"Mr. An is striving for his ideals. It is inevitable that he can use some means in the face of his ideals. Moreover, Mr. An is much better than Sima Yao and others as an emperor. If Mr. An was not determined to kill Shubao, Mu Zhi might have helped Mr. An fulfill his wish!"
"Currently, I can only sigh and everyone will be their own master!"
Liu Muzhi was free and easy-going, and this confession made everyone in the house look up to him a little more.
Wei Jie said: "I have asked Zhang He to lead his old subordinates to strengthen the defense along Jiankang to Shitou City. I believe he will not slacke in this matter!"
"Shubao, you haven't explained it clearly yet!" Liu Muzhi woke up. It seemed that he was still indignant about Wei Jie's inaction!
"Why don't you explain the interests of this to Sima Yao clearly?"
Whether it is the Weijie, Liu Muzhi, Zhang Xiong and others, they never called Emperor Sima Yao during their private chats, and they all called him their name directly. From this, it can be seen that the emperor Sima Yao has no status in their minds!
"Many times the explanation is to cover up. If you explain too much, it will only backfire. Do you understand Taoism?" Wei Jie said with a slight sarcastic look.
"Dao has nothing to say about your IQ, but it's really unsatisfactory!"
"IQ? EQ?" Not only Liu Muzhi, but Zhang Xiong and Duanmuhe were also confused. This is the first time they heard about these two rankings. IQ is a little easier to understand. It is nothing more than whether it is smart or not. But what does this EQ mean?
"You know that IQ doesn't need to be explained. This emotional intelligence refers to a person's behavior and his ability to control himself when facing seven emotions and six desires!" Wei Jie organized the language and said in words that the three of them tried their best to understand.
"Sima Yao's rejection of my proposal means that he not only does not trust me, but his concern for me is not a little bit. Under his mental state, explaining to him will only backfire and deepen his distrust of us. It will only increase the difficulty of future cooperation!"
"In fact, Wei Jie really hopes that Huan Xuan or Hou Liangsheng can see the importance of Stone City, send people to cut off the connection between Jiankang and Stone City, and let them prove that Wei Jie's proposal is correct!"
Liu Muzhi sneered lightly and said disdainfully: "Shubao, are you showing a low emotional intelligence?"
"Your idea is just to act voluntarily. Sima Yao is currently indispensable to us. If he dies, you will just wait for death!"
"Haha, it's good to learn and apply it, it's good to be Daohe!" Wei Jie said with a smile.
Of course, Liu Muzhi's words made sense. Xie An always kept the Wei rank and refused to kill it because Sima Yao, the emperor, was still alive. If he wanted to kill the Wei rank, he had to be justified. If Sima Yao died, Xie An would naturally attack the banner of rectifying the chaos and achieve the throne. At that time, there would be only one way to die for the Wei rank!
"Wei Jie hasn't finished speaking, it's very impolite to interrupt like this with you!" Wei Jie continued.
"Wei Jie naturally has my reason to say this. Just imagine, if we make the worst plan and make countermeasures, will it be possible to kill two birds with one stone?"
"Two kills you in one go?" Liu Muzhi was slightly stunned.
"Shubao means to build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly? On the surface, he allowed the Jingzhou army to cut off Jiankang's retreat, but in fact he took another way to transfer Sima Yao to Shitou City?"
"In this way, we can not only use this matter to gain Sima Yao's trust, but also destroy Hou Liangsheng and Huan Xuan's plans, and control all the rhythm in our own hands!"
Wei Jie nodded slightly, without saying a word, acknowledging that what Liu Muzhi said was exactly what he thought!
In the next few days, except for the slightly busy Wei Jie, everything in Jiankang City was in order, as if nothing had happened. Wei Jie was worried that after he raised it in the hall, it would be like a small stone thrown into the pond, causing a ripple, and then disappeared without a trace!
After the first attack, everyone threw away the threat from Huan Xuan and the Jingzhou Army. No one really took this possibility to heart. It can be said that he was browsing the brothels and scattered the five stones to accompany him!
In fact, in the Weijie side, except for Liu Yu and Zhang He, each with their own tasks, everyone else also performed their own duties, and the recruitment work was still proceeding in an orderly manner. In three days, nearly 5,000 new people were recruited. After less than ten days of recruiting, the scale of the imperial guards had become full.
The fourth day was the blink of an eye, and the sense of crisis in Wei Jie's heart became stronger and stronger. However, the atmosphere in Jiankang City became more and more calm. For four consecutive days, Wei Jie stayed at the city defense center at the North City Gate. In the evening, Liu Yu, who had not seen a few days, finally came back!
"How is Liu Yu? Have you noticed it?"
