please make me king

Chapter 514 each with their own minds

After hearing Wang Pu's words, Mabu couldn't help but look at him in surprise.It turned out that after he took refuge in Wei Congyi, he had heard many times how wise and good the "King Shun" was.

It's just that I heard a lot, and after I followed Wei Congyi to Baodu Village, I only saw King Shun twice from a distance, but found that there was nothing special about it.

He couldn't help being disappointed, and adding that "Little Yuchi" Wei Congyi was left out by Zhang Shun, Mabu even had the idea of ​​changing his family.

It's just that this old guy is very slippery as a master, for fear of showing his flaws and being chopped off by the ruthless Wei Congyi.

After Wei Congyi expressed his unwillingness to join the officers and soldiers, he said to him: "If the general wants to win the favor of King Shun, I have a plan. Not only will the general repay King Shun's favor, but he can also make him owe the general a favor."

"Oh? What's your plan?" Wei Congyi asked strangely, not believing it.

"Tonight I will pretend to serve the officers and soldiers, tell the true and false facts of the city, and urge the officers and soldiers to attack. At that time, the general will inform King Shun to lie in ambush in the valley. !"

Wei Congyi couldn't help being skeptical when he heard this, and Mabu hurriedly persuaded him: "The opportunity must not be missed, and the general will tell King Shun of this plan. Whether it will succeed or not, King Shun will decide."

When Wei Congyi heard this, he agreed with the same reasoning.

In fact, according to Mabu's mind, if the officers and soldiers really obeyed him, he was ready to really join the officers and soldiers and give himself a background.

It's just that after he finished talking about the method, Ni Chong, the general soldier, spoke ill of him, and Wang Pu, the general soldier, was only half-doubtful.So, his mind turned back again, and he thought about how to trick the two people from the Beijing camp.

When Mabu heard the words, he deliberately laughed and said: "The two general soldiers mistrusted the rumors. In fact, there are not many troops under King Shun's command. When he was in Hui County, he just unified the strength of the volunteers."

"Now the rebels complain that he is taking credit for being arrogant, and they have already parted ways with him. The current King Shun is no longer the same King Shun as before!"

"Oh? There is such a thing!" Ni Chong and Wang Pu couldn't help but look at each other, and quickly asked, "Do you know the details?"

"Ma Mou is a person who has personally experienced it, why doesn't he know?" Ma Bu laughed.Anyway, bragging about not paying taxes, he already knew a lot of details from other rebels, so he added fuel and vinegar to them.

The details determine success or failure. Ni Chong and Wang Pu were also military generals. Hearing that the master Mabu had a good nose and eyes, he immediately believed it.

After all, military combat is also a very professional industry, and it is difficult for laymen to know the details, even if it is fabricated, it is not perfect.

"How is the reality in the city?" Wang Pu asked again hastily.

"In the city of Luoyang, there is only fiction, not reality!" Mabu laughed, "King Shun just took advantage of the danger and attacked Luoyang City by surprise when the officers and soldiers surrounded other rebels. Now if you hear that the two generals are leading an army to beg for it, you must be frightened. , Abandon the city and abscond!"

Ni Chong and Wang Pu couldn't help frowning when they heard the words. The news of Cao Wenzhao's defeat in the previous battle was low in rank and they didn't know it yet. Naturally, they might be a little worried about what Mabu said.

My family knows their own affairs. Although Jingying has a great name, its combat power is not very strong.This time the two led the Beijing camp to reinforce the governor of Henan, and Emperor Chongzhen had great expectations for them.

Chongzhen is not really a fool, he has read a lot of poetry and books anyway, so he naturally knows the evil consequences of "emphasizing the outside and ignoring the inside".

Therefore, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, in addition to having to rely on the frontier army, he has been trying to restore the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.

Although Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of War, rectified the Beijing camp before, it ended without a problem, but Chongzhen was still vigorously cultivating the generals of the Beijing camp. Now Ni Chong and Wang Pu are the people who are given high hopes by Chongzhen.

Ni Chong and Wang Pu couldn't help feeling hot in their hearts, and quickly asked with a cold face: "Although your story sounds good, do you have evidence?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Mabu has no integrity at all, and quickly replied: "A hundred miles to the east of this place, there is a village called Baodu Village. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the foundation of King Shun. !"

"If the two generals don't believe it, they can personally lead the army to encircle and suppress, and they will surely capture King Shun's family."

"Okay, let's go down for now!" The two general soldiers drove the linen down without comment.

As soon as the linen left, Ni Chong couldn't help asking: "Wang Zongbing, what do you think of the job?"

"This matter is easy to hear. The county magistrate here, as a local snake, must know a little bit. We only need to call this person and ask to know the truth." Wang Pu is not only eager to make contributions, but also eager to take revenge.

Not long after, the disheveled Baizhi County was overwhelmed by the soldiers, and Wang Pu asked, "Baizhi County, are you convicted?"

Bai Zhixian looked confused, and quickly shouted: "I'm wronged, I've always been trembling, I don't know which villain falsely accused me?"

Wang Pu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then let me ask you, more than a hundred miles to the east, there is Baozhen Mountain, and there is a Baodu Village in the mountain, and there is a nest of bandits in the village, do you know if this is true or not? "

Hearing the words, Bai Zhixian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly responded in a low voice: "It's true, the magistrate is incompetent, and he has been encircled and suppressed several times without success."

Of course, Wang Pu and Ni Chong didn't dare to do anything about Baizhi County.After all, they are military officers, and they are civil servants of Mushou's side. Although their rank is higher than the other's, it's hard to say about their own status.

Seeing that the scaring was almost over, Wang Pu asked again: "Then this stronghold is not easy to attack? Who is the head of the stronghold?"

Upon hearing the words, Baizhi County quickly persuaded: "This place has high mountains and far distances, winding roads, and fierce folk customs. It is really a poor mountain and a bad river. If the two chief soldiers want to cut off the bandits for me, I will definitely do like dogs. "

"I really don't know what the name of this village is. It's just that I suddenly occupied this place last spring and didn't leave. I'm a little county magistrate, and I can't do anything about him."

"Oh? It's okay, Baizhi County should go to rest!" Seeing that the "fact" had been verified, Wang Pu felt a little embarrassed, and sent him back without caring about Baizhi County scolding his mother behind his back.

"How are you doing? Could it be that you still want to help Lushi County suppress the bandits?" Chief Soldier Ni Chong asked suspiciously.

"Suppress what kind of bandits!" Wang Pu laughed, "Your Excellency is going to go to war, I didn't expect to deal with such a thing."

"If I had wasted too much time waiting in Baodu Village, I'm afraid this thief would have been caught by Governor Chen long ago. The two of us traveled thousands of miles from the capital to this place. How could we return empty-handed?"

"In my opinion, it's better for us to hurry up and do double-duty. First break Luoyang City and capture King Shun alive."

"Isn't that good?" Ni Chong stroked the beard on his chin, and persuaded in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be that we are taking the credit of Governor Chen?"

"What is Governor Chen? He was originally the governor of five provinces, but he was relegated to be the governor of one province. You should know about his relatives." Wang Pu sneered disdainfully. We have always used the fastest sword, wore the strongest armor, and rode the fastest horse. If we can't make some achievements, how can the emperor tolerate us?"

"If we win this battle, the emperor will be our backing; if we lose this battle, Chen Qiyu will be our lesson from the past!"
