So I play chess

Chapter 173 Missy's Conspiracy
Wen Gu showed Tang Mingyi all that should be seen at one go, and the next step was nothing more than repeating the information he had received several times in detail, so that he could speculate and judge how old the prefect aunt was. ability.

It's fine for Jin Wanhuaji and the others to do these things independently, and she doesn't need to bother.

When he was in Liangzhou, Wen Gu's purpose was very simple. Since he couldn't defend Liangzhou City, he had to defend Liangzhou Army and let the [-] soldiers and horses follow him to live.

Entering Tongcheng did not really accomplish this goal. After she took this step of stealing the horse, although she did not have to face Beiyu's army for the time being, in other respects, Liangzhou's army was still in a difficult situation.

The reason why he is safe for the time being is because Nan Chu's spirit is still on the succession of the court and the war with Bei Yu.

If the Northern Yu army breaks through Anping and Guangyang, and then attacks southward, at least it will put some pressure on Lianzhou, which is close to approaching the city. state.

At that time, the Liangzhou army can use Tongcheng as the foundation, take advantage of the chaos and go west to take down Yongzhou, and then look for opportunities to take back Liangzhou.

But now it seems that although Southern Chu has accumulated evils for a long time, it is not in a hopeless state. At least it can compete with Beiyu for a period of time.

The dangerous mountains on the south side of Anping Guangyang are not so easy to pass.

If the war is stable during this period or if the new king ascends the throne, the Southern Chu court will have nothing to do. Once they come to investigate Tongcheng, they can't help but ask carefully.

Moreover, if Tang Mingyi lost to Tang Xianyao, Chuyang Pass would definitely attack from the north, probably the same as his plan.

The last time Chuyangguan failed, it was only because he didn't know the real situation in Tongcheng, and he only learned of Tang Mingyi's death after he set off.

If he had to prepare well before sending out troops, the situation of the Liangzhou army would never be easier than it was in Liangzhou.

Therefore, if you want to survive, it is not enough to just prefer Antong City.

Nan Chu and Bei Yu went to fight on their own, and although Wen Gu didn't care who lost and who won, she was absolutely unwilling to help Bei Yu take the lead.

It happened that Tang Mingyi came to Lianzhou at this time, and his current situation is generally clear to Wen Gu. The Southern Chu Emperor Tang Chengjing's heirs are too simple, and Tang Xianyao is a few years older. The commander-in-chief made contact in private.

Tang Mingyi was born a few years late, and was "protected" by his elder brother for a few years, so his contacts were also delayed.Only the Chu family, who was not ashamed by the eldest prince, and a confidant like Chu Yangguan, the general of the Dingyi Army, supported him.

It is still unknown what role Ling Guangjun will play in the meantime.

But overall, Tang Mingyi was at a disadvantage.

Judging from these few brief encounters, the Second Prince of Southern Chu is not a mediocre person. Since he is at a disadvantage, he must concentrate all his strength as much as possible to fight for the position he wants.

Isn't the helpless Liangzhou Army and the helpless General Wen's only daughter one of the best helpers?
As long as Liangzhou Army is accepted by Tang Mingyi, the situation in Southern Chu will no longer be so difficult.

Now, then, there is a problem that needs to be solved.

Because of Wen Gu's own arrangement, the group of them had a really good time in Tongcheng, so good that it had nothing to do with the words "desperate" and "helpless".

If Tang Mingyi thought about it carefully, he could see that Wen Gu had, at least had, the intention to take down Tongcheng and stand on his own.

In this way, wouldn't there be suspicion and suspicion between the two of them?
So what Wen Gu has to do is to bring his situation closer to those eight characters.

Now, the chessboard has been drawn, and it is only necessary to invite Tang Mingyi to place the pieces.

On the second day, Tang Mingyi and the guards still acted according to the errands assigned to them by Wen Gu.His Highness the Second Highness of Da Chu still condescended to chat with the aunt of the prefect of this small border town, and everything in the city was normal as usual.

But a small incident happened on Master Sun's side.

Not only impoverished refugees came to Tongcheng from Anping Guangyang, but also some wealthy sons like "Tang Mingming", who fled to the city with a lot of belongings in order to avoid the war disaster.

Regardless of whether these people have followers or not, they all have some money in their hands, so they disdain to make a living.

Seeing that the city is comfortable and safe, after living in a stable place for a few days, he resumed his usual manner of a nobleman.

Since they don't have their previous contacts here, and they have to properly hide their wealth, they will only find places like restaurants and teahouses boring.But there is always some entertainment, so in the end they all gather in the trick hall and gambling shop opened by the Sun family.

Of course, these sons with no roots have become fat sheep in the mouth of Master Sun.

The silver on his body, the deeds of the servants, the treasures passed down from his ancestors, even his wives, concubines and children, as long as they are willing to mortgage, Master Sun will accept them all.

But today, there was a young man surnamed Lu who was irreparable, lost his last tael of silver in the Sun family's gambling shop, and owed more than 100 taels of debt.

Originally, the money owed to the Sun family was nothing, but Mr. Sun was merciful and did not cut off their livelihood. They could also sell themselves into the Sun family as slaves.

But this Mr. Lu really didn't know what was good or bad, so he yelled out in public that the Sun family's gambling house was bad for Mr. Sun's reputation.

Naturally, you will be beaten for speaking rudely, but just after a while, this Mr. Lu, who has never experienced human suffering, begged for mercy. He only said that he could pay it back, and then he stripped off his clothes, boots, belt and a pile of messy things I took it out.

The cabinet owner of the gambling house looked at it briefly, but it was not worth five taels of silver. When he was about to arrest him and take him to the small room at the back of the gambling house, and give him more knowledge, he pretended to be a cashier and was in charge of the Sun family. People in the news channel saw something different from it.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as the accountant opened his mouth, the cabinet owner fell silent. He sorted out the pile of sundries, and then asked in a harmonious voice, "Mr. Lu, let me ask you, you brought all these things yourself. ?”

The bruised and swollen Mr. Lu timidly replied: "I won't steal or rob, it's all my own."

"Mr. Lu is not willing to tell the truth." The accountant smiled expressionlessly, "I still have to let him work hard."

The second half of the accountant's sentence was to the cabinet owner, and the cabinet owner didn't talk nonsense, he came up and stretched out his hand to lift Mr. Lu's collar.

Mr. Lu hurriedly dodged, and said anxiously: "Don't, don't, who do you want to ask? I'll tell you all."

Hearing this, the accountant picked up a water bag from among the sundries: "I'll ask about the origin of this thing."
