The carriage creaked and staggered all the way forward, and a cavalry of more than 100 people guarded the more than ten carriages all the way towards Wuwei Festival Town. This is the team sent by Weizhou Assassin Shi Pei Ju to escort the Xuanwu envoy and the left servant to shoot Wang Duo. However, Gao Xiangsheng was left in Weizhou to recuperate because Pei Ju's injury was too heavy, and the long-distance journey might lead to the deterioration of his injury, waiting for his injury to improve slightly before sending him to Zhenzhou.

"Yesterday's events shook a lot!" Wu Jian looked at Jing Xiang and said: "Liang Han is just a fifth-grade general, and he actually beat up the fourth-grade officials in public, which shows that the people of Wuwei don't take these things seriously at all." Of course, these people are really worthy of respect. ”

Jing Xiang smiled and said, "This is a good thing!" It's one thing for someone like Wen Song to be respectable, but the political signal sent by Liang Han beating him in public is enough to shake many people. ”

"Xue Ping must be restless!" Wu Jian said: "I think the news is being passed on to them at a rapid pace, right?" ”

Jing Xiang nodded: "It must be like this." Xue Ping will get a glimpse of Li Ze's attitude from this incident, so that he is more determined to restrict Li Ze's physiognomy. So he will definitely spare no effort to rescue these people. And in order to survive in Wuyi, these people will definitely unite firmly around Xue Ping and form a royalist group to fight against Li Ze, so that they can have a chance to live, and further be able to grasp some power, so that they can live better and more comfortably. ”

"That's a clever trick!" Wu Jian looked at Jing Xiang with admiration: "This move of the military advisor must make Li Ze extremely distressed. ”

Jing Xiang smiled proudly: "After this incident, these people will inevitably hate Li Ze, and after joining Xue Ping, of course they will become the vanguard against Li Ze, if Xue Ping and Han Qi and these people fight against Li Ze, they are still limited to a fight but not broken, they still maintain a united front with the outside world, maintain the most basic unity, and still take Li Ze as the leader, but they just want to limit Li Ze's power and ambitions, after these people join, they will inevitably overthrow Li Ze for the purpose." ”

"With the ability of these people, I'm afraid that nothing can be done?" Wu Jian shook his head and said.

"It doesn't really matter if it gets it done or not." Jing Xiang said lightly: "The important thing is that these-stirring sticks will make Wuwei have no peaceful day, everything they do will become the introduction of the confrontation between the two groups, even if they are unreasonable, even if they do violate Wuwei's laws, but Xue Ping will still try their best to defend them, because this is a matter of eliminating one another." Right or wrong, at this time, it doesn't matter. ”

Wu Jian pondered for a moment and nodded approvingly.

"One thing or nothing, but ten things, a hundred things add up, it will inevitably make the contradiction between the two groups of the emperor and Li Ze deeper and deeper, and finally reach an irreconcilable point, which is naturally very beneficial to us."

"It's not easy for you to think through this!" Jing Xiang glanced at him approvingly and said, "So these guys who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures have been specially selected by us to return to the emperor." ”

"I know that." Wu Jian said: "In the imperial court, those who are really capable and can do things have been left behind and entrusted with important tasks, and now they see Wu Wei's methods to deal with these people, but they are afraid that they will completely abandon their half-hearted thoughts, but they will serve the marshal wholeheartedly." ”

Jing Xiang smiled but did not say a word.

This is just another side effect. However, Liang Han made such a play, which greatly strengthened this effect.

Now in Chang'an City, many former court officials who have been appointed by Zhu Wen to important positions are not necessarily willing to serve Zhu Wen, but they are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and in order to survive and for the safety of their families, they have to compromise and seek perfection, and the political position of these people is wavering.

But now, I'm afraid they're going to have to reconsider. Because Wu Wei's means of surrendering people are very cruel, people like Wen Song who have not yet been officials under Zhu Wen have been treated like this, and those of them who have accepted Zhu Wen's official position are afraid that they will fall into the hands of Wu Wei in the future, and the biggest possibility is to cut off the knife.

With such fears, do they dare to do their best for Zhu Wen?

"Strategist, now that the head of Chang'an is preparing to choose a clan to come out and set up another imperial court, you shouldn't come out at this critical juncture." Wu Jian suddenly remembered something, and said with some concern: "You also know that there are many people who have been encouraging the handsome to stand on his own. ”

"What do you think of the handsome self-reliance?" Jing Xiang asked.

Wu Jian smiled: "In the long run, I naturally hope that in this way, I, Wu Jian, can also become the founder of the country!" But this is a matter of the future, now that there is a strong enemy in the north and the south has not been pacified, it is not a matter of setting fire to self-reliance at this time. ”

"That's right. How can a handsome person not be able to figure this out? Besides, the acting marshal is still in Chang'an, and with him, it will naturally make the careful thinking of such a short-sighted person unable to succeed. As for choosing a clan, what does it matter if I'm not there? The left and right are just a puppet, who to choose is not to choose? ”

Speaking of this, Jing Xiang sighed: "Li Ze is really unfathomable, could it be that a few years ago, he planned for today's things, so he entered Beijing, and he would lay down such a team of people in Beijing, and finally succeeded in taking the emperor and the prince away from Chang'an and getting to Zhenzhou." ”

"The emperor went to Zhenzhou, and he is not the same as a puppet!" Wu Jian disagreed.

"It's still different. After all, that is orthodoxy. For this world, from a legal point of view, the status of orthodoxy is still unshakable. Li Ze can now use this puppet emperor to call on other festivals and towns in the north to come and join him, and then integrate the entire northern forces and become the true king of the north. Jing Xiang said: "Although we can establish a new Li Tang clan, but in terms of legitimacy, it is still a step behind, but I am afraid that many people will not buy it, and if we do things, we will do twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Doesn't the marshal already have a way to contain it?" Wu Jian said.

"I have already sent someone to Tibet." Jing Xiang said: "But this price is a bit big." ”

"Those Fanyi, hehe, give them some sweetness now, and when they dominate the world, they have to spit it out for us if they eat us, and if they take ours, they have to give us back, what is there to worry about." Wu Jian said disdainfully.

Jing Xiang laughed: "I hope so, I hope so." ”

The carriage was so jolting that it would stop from time to time, and there was the sound of escorting the guards in front of them, and the noise was heard in bursts. Wu Jian lifted the curtain and looked at the situation outside.

At intervals, groups of people can be seen using various tools to build roads on the roads or digging ditches in the fields along the roads.

It can be seen that these people who are working are enthusiastic and work very hard. There are not only young and strong, but also strong women, and even children and the elderly.

Men and women in the prime of life do heavy work, while children and the elderly do lighter work, and laughter and laughter flow from among them.

"Cash-for-work is not a new thing." Jing Xiang said with a smile: "Whether it's Weizhou or Luzhou, this year, there has been a war, I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year, Li Ze wants to maintain the stability of these places, so he naturally has to give relief, and the work for relief can maximize the potential of these people, so as not to eat and drink in vain." These things are also being done in Heluo and Guanzhong. ”

"Strategist, you are high in the temple, I'm afraid you don't know much about the things below." Wu Jian stared at those who were working, all of them looked ruddy, and there was no such phenomenon of suffering from hunger: "We are indeed doing these things, speaking of which, because we won Heluo Pass quickly, the harvest was less affected, but it seems that the people here seem to be more well-fed than the people on our side." ”

Jing Xiang snorted, looked out the window, and said silently for a while: "This is the reason why I must take you with me, Li Ze's economic policy is indeed ingenious and insightful, I really don't know where he got the grain?" And how to maintain food prices at this level? ”

"Yes, when I was in Weizhou, I went to the market, and the price of their grain was only slightly higher than the price of grain in our best years, and this was in wartime. At present, the price of grain in Chang'an is still high, and it will be possible to alleviate it after the Mid-Autumn Festival harvest in Guanwan. How Wu Wei did this. ”

"Let's take our time, we have time." Jing Xiang closed his eyes and said slowly.

After marching for about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and an escort officer rode his horse to the outside of Jingxiang's carriage, and arched his hand: "Jing Changshi, there is a temporary relief point for us in front, there is ready-made food there, we have eaten here, can we rest for a while before we go on the road?" ”

"Very good, there is General Law!" Jing Xiang is polite and authentic.

On the open space next to the road, there were more than a dozen huge military tents, and in a moment, someone went to negotiate where, and then one of the military tents was vacated for Jing Xiang, Wang Duo and others to rest.

This is a relief point, more than a dozen military tents, but more than half of them are filled with food and other materials, to Wu Jian's surprise, in such an important place, he actually only saw dozens of armed soldiers guarding, and the leader was only a captain of Zhiguo.

At this time, the people who gathered from all directions to prepare for dinner were vast, and I am afraid that there were not as many as thousands of people.

Wuwei people are really bold, aren't they afraid that these people will rob these grains?
