In this way, Wang Yuanxiang defeated 1,200 imperial troops and defected to Li Zhen.
It is a true surrender.
He had long wanted to come to Dongzhou to join Li Zhen, but he never had the chance. If he came to seek refuge alone, it would be meaningless and wouldn't help Li Zhen much. And Wang Yuanxiang deeply understands that the reason why a person is valuable is that he is valuable in the eyes of others.
If there is no use value, then this person is useless.
Wang Yuanxiang defected to Li Zhen himself, but his strength was too small to be of great use.
However, Wang Yuanxiang did not dare to instigate his troops to defect, as there was no guarantee that someone would retreat and report on him.
But this time, I never expected that the emperor would send him to capture Li Zhen. This was a good opportunity. Now the whole world knows that the Xun family's court is useless, but Xun Jiayuan himself doesn't know.
On the way, he incited his subordinates to rebel. Unexpectedly, there was a response. Everyone felt that going to Dongzhou would have more development prospects.
There is no betrayal or anything like that.
The imperial court...Does betrayal still need to happen? Kyushu is torn apart, and there is no such thing as betrayal or betrayal.
What Wang Yuanxiang didn't expect was that Li Zhen said to him: "Brother Wang, I can't take you in."
"Why?"
Wang Yuanxiang asked in surprise, did he do it badly
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Because if you come to Dongzhou now, then you can only become a security captain. Brother Wang, you will definitely have a bright future in the future. It is a pity to be the leader of a small Forbidden Army." .”
Wang Yuanxiang was stunned: "Li Zhen, what you said...why can't I understand you?"
"The effect of open chess is far less than that of hidden stakes. Let me tell you a secret. Come here."
Wang Yuanxiang approached curiously, but heard Li Zhen whisper: "Do you know about the Nanzhou Uprising?"
"I know, Wang San Dao Department..."
"Do you know who is behind the Nanzhou Uprising?"
"Is there a master behind Wang Sandao?"
"The former prince of Kyushu, Xun Shifei."
"What!"
Wang Yuanxiang was completely shocked. The prince Xun Shifei, who was fucked by the eighth prince, disappeared for so long and suddenly became the master behind Wang Sandao? This news is not shocking.
Wang Yuanxiang is a smart man. He completely understands the hidden truth behind this and what Li Zhen generally means.
"Li Zhen, what do you mean..."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "The clear way I will show you is to go back to Zhongzhou. Pretend that you have never met me. Don't worry, these people in Dongzhou will keep secret. No one in this world can bribe them yet. , the future is not my world, the future is still Xun Shifei’s world.”
Wang Yuanxiang said: "Li Zhen, you have such great cohesion, why don't you fight for the world?"
"Haha, what's the point of being an emperor? Once an emperor and a courtier, he will be nothing more than a wisp of withered bones a hundred years later. At most, he will be mourned by the descendants in the ancestral hall. I don't like it."
"All right."
Wang Yuanxiang gave a helpless smile, not believing that there was anything more meaningful than being the emperor. If he doesn't even value the position of emperor, what does Li Zhen value
Li Zhen patted Wang Yuanxiang on the shoulder: "Tell your guys to keep their mouth shut, you know what to do."
"What's the specifics? You can't be careless about this matter. Li Zhen, you have to give me some guidance."
"There is nothing to advise. From now on, you can secretly develop your own power in Zhongzhou. When the time comes, there will be trading houses in Dongzhou giving you money, which you can use to win people's hearts."
"Then what?"
"Then just wait and don't do anything. Just have a lot of power. In addition, secretly wink at the Wang San Swordsmen and show your strength. If what I expected is good, you will This kind of military strategist with an innocent background is the target of Xun Shifei's bribery. If you have enough energy to attract Xun Shifei's attention, then he will drag you into an organization called the Taiping Regiment, and you will become rich."
"What happens next?"
"Then, when Xun Shifei's troops arrive in Zhongzhou, you only need to help Xun Shifei open the city gate at the critical moment. You only need to help Xun Shifei secretly capture the Emperor of Kyushu alive, and then you only need to wait for your rise to prominence."
Wang Yuanxiang took a breath of cold air: "I only need to help Xun Shifei open a door, and I can rise to the top?"
"Haha, taking the initiative to open the door is an attitude. Xun Shifei needs some people who take the initiative to open the door, because this can prove that everyone is not satisfied with Xun Jiayuan. Be the first to take the initiative to open the door, take the initiative to welcome Xun Shifei into Balong City, take the initiative to use I will use all my manpower and material resources to support Xun Shifei's ascension to the throne. In the future, your old Wang family will make a mark in the history books."
"Then I understand, Li Zhen takes leave."
"Farewell."
Li Zhen stood in front of the steam car and looked at Wang Yuanxiang with a smile.
Wang Yuanxiang took two steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "Li Zhen, so this time, I still surrender to you. Right?"
"That's what I've been waiting for. Go ahead, Brother Wang, I will make arrangements for you."
"I will say goodbye."
“…”
Wang Yuanxiang left.
No one understood what Li Zhen was doing. He personally summoned the Forbidden Army who came to kill him. The Imperial Army said they wanted to surrender to him, but the situation turned out to be twists and turns again. Li Zhen refused his surrender
What kind of psychological change is this? What is hidden behind this
No one could understand that Li Zhen started to prepare the ground for Xun Shifei from this moment on.
He had already determined that Xun Shifei would definitely ascend the throne, and the November 1st date he told himself was definitely not a joke.
So how will Xun Shifei treat Li Zhen after he ascends the throne? What will be the attitude of the DPRK and China towards Li Zhen? Will the country sit back and watch a terrifying capital team grow bigger
Don't know any of this.
It is because of the unknown that Li Zhen must bury a hidden secret in the future court. A secret agent with a high voice in the court.
As expected, after Xun Shifei ascends the throne, Wang Sandao will become the number one leader in the Kyushu army, and if Wang Yuanxiang does well enough, Wang Yuanxiang will become the second person in the army. The best official residence.
Isn't it too late to win people's hearts after the court is firmly established? People's hearts are based solely on the relationship of interests, and this relationship is unstable.
And those who bury a future secret device in advance before the new dynasty is established, who will not arouse anyone's suspicion, and who are loyal secret stakes, are the ones who can exert their power.
Li Zhen had no doubts about Wang Yuanxiang's sincerity towards him. If he dared to accept the order to kill him, he had already shown his determination to surrender to him.
It's a paradox, but it's very practical.
They have been watching Wang Yuanxiang put on his heavy armor again, mount a tall horse, and lead more than a thousand riders to leave quickly.
Li Zhen smiled and returned to the steam car: "Let's go."
The large army returned to Laoshan in a mighty manner.
Recently, he feels that he is getting more and more sinister. Alas, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
