Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

 Chapter 1577 Liu Che VS Wang Mang

 Chapter 1575: Liu Che VS Wang Mang

 Youzhou, Guangyang County, Jixian.

Jixian County, the original administrative seat, has now been renamed Yanjing City, and the former Duke of Yan's Palace has also been changed into the Imperial Palace of the Northern Han Dynasty.

At this time, in the main hall of the Northern Han Palace, Emperor Liu Che of the Northern Han Dynasty, who had just ascended the throne, looked down with a cold expression on his right minister, Wang Mang, who was kneeling respectfully on the ground.

“I need an explanation.” Liu Che said coldly.

Wang Mang raised his head slowly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the killers of the Qin army attacked the mission. Zhang Anshi and Ji An died. If I don't activate Gongsun Shu and other secret agents, Gongsun Xuanyuan will definitely If you completely fall to Qin Hao, there will be no chance to start."

Wang Mang had anticipated Liu Che's reaction and directly put the blame on Qin Hao. Anyway, Zhang Anshi and Ji An were dead, and there was absolutely no evidence for their deaths. Even if Liu Che would doubt this, there was nothing he could do without evidence.

As Wang Mang expected, Liu Che just frowned in thought after hearing Wang Mang's words. After a long time, he sighed: "Your Prime Minister did the right thing. Since Xuanyuan doesn't know how to praise, don't blame me for not remembering the old relationship."

“Your Majesty, there are currently insufficient troops in Yanjing City. I propose that Gongsun Shu be stationed in Yanjing. Firstly, it can consolidate the defense of the capital city. Secondly, if the troops in Jizhou are insufficient, Gongsun Shu can also lead the army south to assist Jizhou.”

Hearing Wang Mang's words, Liu Che's eyes flashed with a sharp look, but he hid it well.

 “No need, Yanjing’s troops are more than sufficient.”

"Can…"

“Okay, I’m tired too, so please step aside first.”

 “I obey the order.”

Wang Mang lowered his head, his eyes full of gloom, but he had no choice but to bow and leave.

As soon as Wang Mang left, Zhang Tang stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Wang Mang cannot be trusted."

Liu Che smiled coldly and said, "Of course I know this.

I originally thought that although Wang Mang was ambitious, as long as I treated people with sincerity, I would be able to make them come back sooner or later. Now it seems that I was too naive, and Wang Mang was not someone who was inferior to others. "

“Your Majesty, since you know everything, how about…”

Liu Che interrupted Zhang Tang and said calmly: "Wang Mang took the greatest credit for the establishment of the Anti-Qin Alliance and the Northern Han Dynasty. Now that the enemy has not been defeated, if I attack the hero, what will Yuan Shao think of me? What will Han Xin think of me? Me? What's more, I want to use Wang Mang to appease Gongsun Shu."

“But this person is a hidden danger after all.” Zhang Tang said with a look of reluctance.

"Wait a minute, now is not the time to touch him. After we defeat Qin Hao, we can settle the accounts with Wang Mang." Liu Che said coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

 Liu Che loved and hated Wang Mang.

 Because of Wang Mang's mediation of all parties, the anti-Qin alliance was established, and Liu Che became the emperor as he wished.

But after all, Wang Mang was not someone who could be inferior to others, and he kept making small moves under Liu Che.

 Liu Che ignored some of the harmless things before, but now Wang Mang actually used the resources of the Northern Han Dynasty to strengthen himself, which Liu Che couldn't bear.

In Liu Che's plan, if he failed to win over Gongsun Xuanyuan, he would plan a rebellion so that Gongsun Xuanyuan would be unable to participate.

What Liu Che didn't expect was that Wang Mang actually instigated Gongsun Shu, the second-in-command of the Liao army, to rebel, and the coup he planned was successful, and he also sold Gongsun Xuanyuan to the front line to the Manchu Qing.

Liu Che instigated many high-level officials of the Liao army to rebel in advance, but Gongsun Shu was not on the list. After all, he had always been a die-hard supporter of Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Liu Che never expected that Gongsun Shu would betray his clan brother, nor did he expect that the top officials of the Liao Kingdom would be so shameless, surrendering one-sidedly at the slightest sign of something wrong. He felt that Gongsun Xuanyuan was not worth it. Liu Che had planned so hard for so long, but in the end he didn't even get a cent. On the contrary, Wang Mang used the resources of the Northern Han Dynasty to accept the fruits of victory with a little manipulation. How could Liu Che accept this?

Liu Che had murderous intentions towards Wang Mang, but now that he was facing a powerful enemy, if he killed Wang Mang, he would only benefit Qin Hao in the end, so he could only endure it and settle the accounts with Wang Mang after repelling Qin Hao.

Early the next morning, Liu Che summoned Wang Mang and said: "Right Prime Minister, I have decided to order you and Gongsun Shu to lead 30,000 Liao troops south to Qingzhou to help Song Jiang destroy Li Jing in Beihai.

Beihai Li Jing is a hidden danger after all. It is better to get rid of it as much as possible. In the past, there were insufficient troops and we were unable to attack him. Now that we have extra troops, we should send out troops to attack him as soon as possible. "

Wang Mang couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said quickly: "But if Gongsun Shu leaves, what will Gongsun Xuanyuan do?"

Liu Che said calmly: "Gongsun Xuanyuan can't protect himself now. How can he still have the strength to come back and seize power?"

 “What about the Manchu and Qing Dynasties? Who will guard against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties? Are they really not on guard against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties?”

""Haha, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are eager for us to fight with the Qin army and both sides will lose. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties will never send troops before our army and the Qin army can decide the winner.

If the Manchus and Qing Dynasties really break their agreement and send troops to Youzhou, I will send reinforcements from Yanjing to support the Liao Kingdom. Your Prime Minister will not be more worried. "

Hearing this, Wang Mang still didn't understand that Liu Che wanted to use the Qin army to weaken his own power while attacking the Qin army.

But Wang Mang couldn't refuse because Liu Che's arrangement was very reasonable, because for the current Northern Han Dynasty, it was really urgent to get rid of Li Jing.

The situation on the front line is not optimistic. Even if Han Xin, recommended by Wang Mang, took charge of the entire army, he still could not repulse the Qin army's offensive. Today's Jizhou occupation is still at a disadvantage.

The best way to resolve this situation is to increase troops, but where will the troops come from? Song Jiang and Gongsun Shu.

 But Song Jiang and Gongsun Shu each have responsibilities. Song Jiang needs to be prepared for Li Jing. Once Song Jiang leaves, Li Jing can attack Yuan Shao's rear, and the entire front is likely to be passive.

Gongsun Shu needs to guard against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. It is impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty to be undefended against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. After the Manchus clear out Gongsun Xuanyuan on the front line, Gongsun Shu will take over this important task.

Now Liu Che wants Gongsun Shu to lead an army of 30,000 people to kill Li Jing together with Song Jiang, and then liberate these two troops to join the battle in Jizhou. This is indeed the best way for the current situation.

After Gongsun Shu led the army and left, he also left 20,000 soldiers and horses. If the Manchus came, Yanjing would immediately send reinforcements, which would ensure that the Liao Kingdom would not be lost in the short term, and this would allow Gongsun Shu to Talk about peace of mind.

Whether it is Song Jiang, Gongsun Shu, or Wang Mang, they will definitely suffer losses in the confrontation with the Qin army, but it is not Liu Che's people who will suffer the losses.

 After repelling Qin Hao, the more serious the losses to the forces of all parties will be, the more beneficial it will be to Liu Che, because only in this way can his position become more stable.

“Liu Che, I really underestimate you.”

Wang Mang secretly thought that he would definitely be targeted by Liu Che. The main reason was that he had been too high-profile recently and had touched Liu Che's bottom line. It would be better to be as honest and responsible as possible in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Mang immediately bowed in a deep voice and said: "I obey the order."

 When Liu Che saw this, he couldn't help but smile in victory.

He thought it would take a while for him to go through a verbal battle, but he didn't expect Wang Mang to agree so easily. It's easy to communicate with smart people.

The first update of Guarantee is a little slow, mainly because the stall is a bit big and all aspects must be taken into consideration. The author is a little out of control, so I stopped writing yesterday and re-conceived it.

I also thought about it for a long time today. I sat in front of the computer for several hours without writing anything. I didn’t start writing again until I made sure there were no logical loopholes.

The missing guarantee will definitely be made up, so don’t worry.
