Chapter 136: Sending troops (Part 2)

Early in the morning of the third day, a light rain suddenly came.

On the streets, there are fewer passers-by, and so are the vehicles.

In front of the Marshal's Mansion, several guards stood inside the door, looking at the rain outside, chatting softly.

At this moment, a carriage came from a distance.

"When people come, I will cheer me up and lose the face of the Marshal's Mansion. You must peel your skin." The butler happened to come out and saw the carriage, and immediately said to the guards.

Several guards quickly stood up straight and the carriage stopped in front of the door.

The coachman got off the car, carried a paper umbrella, and the next one was the next.

"Mr. Qin?"

"Butler Li, why are you standing here?"

Qin Yi, under the escort of the servant, came to the stone steps, looked at Butler Li standing inside, and asked.

Although Butler Li is a servant, he has been with Dashuai's family for three generations, so he should not be neglected.

Butler Li said with a smile: "There is not much in the mansion in this weather, so come out to have some breathing. However, Lord Qin, in this kind of weather, he still comes out to do business? But come to see the Grand Marshal?"

"That's right!" Qin Yi said, "Please take me over and ask for a meeting."

"This is natural. Please come with the younger one." After the housekeeper said that, he said to several guards: "You guys are here to do things well. If you are lazy, be careful of your skin."

"Please don't worry, butler, the young men will never dare to do it again." The guards said hurriedly.

"Mr. Qin, please." The butler said to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded and followed the butler to the mansion.

The Grand Marshal's Mansion is no better than the mansion of ordinary officials. Needless to say, the various pavilions, buildings, halls and pavilions come in from the main gate, and a corridor is directly connected to the back courtyard, so that when it snows and rains, the owner of the mansion can walk comfortably.

Walking in the corridor, it was raining outside, but Qin Yi and the butler ignored it.

Qin Yi was very impressed by this design, but at this moment, he had something to do in his heart and soon remained silent again.

Qin Yi asked to meet Guo Wentong this time, and at the same time brought information from Shu two days ago.

Of course, these information is not too direct. It is impossible for people like Wang Hongyi to have a spy beside him.

From the cumbersome and trivial information, extract useful content and report to the general to know that this is Qin Yi’s responsibility.

"The Grand Marshal is drinking tea with Mr. Chang in the small flower hall. Lord Qin is here for a while. I'll tell you." The butler took Qin Yi and came to the outside of the flower hall. When he was about to get to the place, the two stopped and the butler explained softly to Qin Yi.

Of course, Qin Yi knew that Chang Huaiyuan and his lord had been in love for many years, and their relationship was not as ordinary as that of the monarch and his subjects. After hearing what the butler said, he did not show any dissatisfaction. He smiled on his face and said, "Then I'll be working."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The butler said, walking towards the flower hall.

In the small flower hall, Guo Wentong and his adviser Chang Huaiyuan were holding cups in their hands and were drinking tea gracefully. The faint fragrance of tea mixed with the fragrance lighted beside them, making people fascinated and intoxicated.

There are no servants to serve in the small flower hall, so it is fine. When Guo Wentong talks to his advisers, he will mostly involve some important military affairs. It is inappropriate to be heard by the servants.

Fresh fruit and refreshments are already prepared very well. If you have any shortcomings, you will be able to add them.

In the small flower hall, the two of them were drinking tea while talking about things, talking about Wang Hongyi.

"Huaiyuan, according to your opinion, the matter is really like this. What is the purpose of the court repaying?" Guo Wentong had already talked to Chang Huaiyuan about the imperial edict of the court angels. Now he was thinking about this matter, so he wanted to ask the adviser's opinion.

Chang Huaiyuan put down the cup, raised his hand and stroked his beard habitually, and said lightly: "It is not difficult to guess the intention of the court. The current court is now in name only. Wei Yue has established himself as the King of Wu, and his ambition is so great that ordinary people in the world know it."

"Under this situation, it is conceivable that Wei Yue is under pressure. If you want to distract the world from the attention of the world, this move is obviously very effective." This is what Wei Yue guessed thoroughly.

"Why does Wang Hongyi really not accept the King of Qin?" Guo Wentong asked: "Isn't Wei Yue unable to do it?"

"Otherwise, otherwise. Wang Hongyi does not accept the title of King Qin, and other people may not be like this. The legitimate Duke and Marquis or even the title of King are different from self-praise." Chang Huaiyuan sighed and said: "This plan can make the muddy waters of the world more mixed. When wars in the world are on the rise, where can anyone take care of him?"

"This is an open conspiracy. Even though we know the intention, we have to do it according to his intention. If we don't do it, others may not be moved. Even if we protect ourselves in this troubled time, it will take some time."

"Which Wei Yue can use this plan, even if it is not what he thinks, it means that he has great talents under him, and this person should not be underestimated." Hearing this, Guo Wentong said with a gloomy face.

Chang Huaiyuan smiled and said with some comfort, "Why should you worry about lord? Wu and Yue will not be peaceful in the past few years. The five major vassal states jointly attacked Wei. Even if Wei Yue wins, it will take time to restore its strength."

"Now Wei Yue is too busy to take care of himself, and there are several states separated by him. In addition to killing people with a knife, he has little impact on his lord Qinchuan? In another two years, Wei Yue's strength will be stable. After these two years, your strength has increased greatly?"

"What Huaiyuan said is that the form has not yet been known!" Guo Wentong immediately turned his worries into joy when he heard these words.

Chang Huaiyuan continued: "The most important thing now is to determine the intention of Wang Hongyi from Shu, to see if he wants to attack the Dragon Sword and seize Jingzhou again, or to be interested in Guanzhong..."

"Yeah, Huaiyuan said this very much." Guo Wentong nodded and said yes.

At this time, a servant outside the small flower hall reported loudly: "Master, the butler takes Lord Qin outside to ask for a meeting."

I really want to come whatever I want.

Guo Wentong and Chang Huaiyuan looked at each other. Guo Wentong raised his voice and said, "Let Qin Yi come in."

"Yes, Lord." The attendant retreated.

After a while, Qin Yi walked in from outside.

"My minister Qin Yi, I have seen the lord." As soon as he came in, he immediately knelt down and said.

Guo Wentong was anxious to understand the situation and immediately said, "No gift."

"Thank you lord." Qin Yi respectfully thanked him and stood up.

Qin Yi stood up straight and saluted to Chang Huaiyuan next to him: "Mr. Chang."

Chang Huaiyuan nodded at him with a smile.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Guo Wentong sat on the main seat and asked below.

Qin Yi reported, "You have already discovered it clearly. Wang Hongyi did only accept the map of Guanzhong and reject the title of King Qin. However, now the two counties of Nanjiao and Chengyang surrender, Jinzhuguan, Jiange, and Yangpingguan have all fallen into the hands of Duke Shu."

The news of this investigation was reported to Guo Wen notified Xiao.

When Qin Yi retreated, Guo Wentong frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that Wang Hongyi refused the imperial enthronement."

"This person has always had great ambitions and must not want to be bound by the court." Chang Huaiyuan said with a comment.

Guo Wentong just smiled.

In the world, which lord of the vassal state has no ambition? Who doesn’t want to sit on the throne of supreme with the chance?

"Although Wang Hongyi rejected the title of Wang, he left a map of Guanzhong, which made it difficult to speculate." Chang Huaiyuan touched his beard and continued.

Guo Wentong also thought so, saying: "Wang Hongyi can pacify most of Shu territory within a few years, and his skills and strategies should not be underestimated. I suspect that Wang Hongyi's move is a trick."

"My lord is he going to make a big move next?" Chang Huaiyuan nodded and agreed with Guo Wentong's speculation. "Next, he will definitely conquer Hanzhong. After obtaining the Dragon Sword, Shu is under his control. What he will do below is really unpredictable."

Guo Wentong said: "Rejecting the title of King Qin is to me, and even Qin Chuan, he is not involved in Guanzhong, so as not to affect the strategy, and he does not want to accept the title of King Qin, which has a more relationship!"

After hearing this, Chang Huaiyuan nodded.

Guo Wentong continued: "But although he rejected the title of King Qin, he still accepted the Guanzhong map. It is really hard to see whether he had any intentions for Qin Chuan from this matter."

"Accepting the Guanzhong map and showing that he is interested in Guanzhong, but he is really interested. With Wang Hongyi's talent, how could he reveal this idea so easily?"

"But he expected that outsiders would guess and do the opposite, and he really planned to take Guanzhong next time. This is not impossible."

After thinking about it, I found that any action Wang Hongyi made makes sense.

Guo Wentong sighed and said, "In this way, it is really hard to guess what he will do next. Whether to capture the Dragon Sword and try to take Jingzhou, or directly enter Qinchuan and take me Hanzhong, it is unexpected that this matter is really helpless."

"Master, what are you planning to deal with it next?" Chang Huaiyuan asked.

Guo Wentong was silent for a while and said, "Although I can't guess Wang Hongyi's true intention, the choice is still the same. The general has made up his mind to immediately raise an army and attack Liangchuan County."

"Attack Liangchuan County?"

"That is, in order to prevent Wang Hongyi from confusing the general with tricks and wanting to seize the general Qinchuan, the general must first take action and take Hanzhong into the Qinchuan Pass in his hands."

"Even if the other party's purpose is Jingzhou, it will be a matter of time before this general will unify Qin." Speaking of this, Guo Wentong sneered: "Of course, if Wang Hongyi is incompetent and has not conquered Hanzhong for a long time, I will be able to plan and master the portal of Shuzhong. After all, Shu is the next goal after mastering Qinchuan."

"Once Wei Yue unifies Wu and Yue, he will definitely seize Jingzhou. Jingzhou is not far from this place. If you master Hanzhong, you can go down from the upper edict. The general Qinchuan of this commander should be pacified. At that time, it is unknown whether he can enjoy the benefits of a fisherman."

"The lord is right. Hanzhong has a great relationship. Whoever can obtain Hanzhong can influence Shu, Guanzhong and Jingzhou. The only pity is that the two counties of Nanjiao and Chengyang surrendered. Jinzhuguan, Jiange and Yangpingguan all fell into the hands of Duke Shu. Now the opportunity lies with Wang Hongyi." Chang Huaiyuan said.
