Section 163 Human Nature

Wang Guohua was speechless when his brother's words were told, but he knew that his brother's words were not a false statement.

My father never had a warm attitude towards them. In fact, although many soldiers in the Pinglu army still adhered to the concept of establishing a legitimate and a eldest son, they could not change this reality, especially when Saburo was also considered a legitimate son, he and his brother were actually excluded from the heirs.

My father seemed to have never considered the issue of heirs. Maybe he felt that he didn't need to consider this issue before.

However, the situation has changed drastically now, and it is hard to say where the situation will take.

But the elder brother's analysis of his father's mentality should be correct. Now his father will no longer consider the Pinglu army, because as long as his father cannot escape, the Pinglu army will not exist intact. Instead of turning this Pinglu army into a chaotic army with civil strife, it is better to use it in exchange for his own future. Things that were originally impossible have become natural now.

"Huai Youjun wants his father to make an appointment? Will the second uncle and General Liu agree?" Wang Guohua frowned, "I'm afraid this is not an easy thing."

"Hmph, Erlang, don't worry, my father will make arrangements. Even if Huai Youjun cannot consider it, his father will consider them carefully. He values ​​himself more than anyone else. Since he has lost the Pinglu Jiedushi, he will definitely not be willing to lose the rest of his life. Humph, everyone will think so, especially if there are two best examples, do you think his father will not be moved?"

Wang Guorong was obviously able to see the essence better than his second brother. When his father fell into the opponent, he was destined to be the end of the Pinglu Army. The result of one hand covering the sky was that once he lost this pillar, it would be like the pillar that supported the tent disappeared, and the tent could not cover up the others.

"Okay, Erlang, we don't need to think too much, there will be a result soon." Wang Guorong said indifferently: "For us, no matter how bad it is, it will be nowhere to be bad. Jiang Fengfei and other people may not want Pinglu Army, but if he removes the skin of Pinglu Army, tens of thousands of soldiers will be a good help for him. Maybe we will not be much worse than our original situation in the future. We did not expect to end up in Pinglu Army, right?"

There are too many meanings in the elder brother's words, which made Wang Guorong a little confused for a moment, but he knew that his elder brother had always seen far-reachingly than him. He said nothing, then nothing, he said the future would be better, and the future might be really better.

******************************************

For the Huai Youjun, taking down Wang Shouzhong, controlling Qingzhou City, and dealing with Pinglu's remnants was just the first step.

Since Qingzhou City is easier than expected, this also brings some situations that were not expected before.

Like the Pinglu Army with more than 6,000 people, even if they have no weapons and weapons, these people are trapped in the field, which is still a hidden danger and needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Of course, it is just a hidden danger. Without weapons, even if these people are cut off their minions, in this era, you say you want to raise thirty or even hundreds of weapons and weapons at once, and the gentry can get it, but if you want to get thousands of weapons and weapons in a short time, it is illusory.

When iron tools in the folk village are still treasures, no one would keep so many weapons at home, and even the gentry and big families would not. In addition to private soldiers, it would be great to use a hundred pieces of spare parts.

But for these more than 6,000 soldiers, if they want to fight against the Huaiyou Army, which has an absolute advantage in quantity and morale, it would be a death sentence, and even a fool knows the result.

Ding Man led Guo Yue, Gu Tao and Ya Jun to clean up the entire Qingzhou City. In such a huge battlefield, of course, there were some dead and hard-working elements who refused to put down their weapons and wanted to take a risk.

However, the atmosphere in Qingzhou City has gradually calmed down. After losing its backbone, everyone has to face a reality, that is, Huaiyou has entered Pinglu.

The next step should be to consider how to get along with the new rulers and how to win the recognition and trust of the new rulers. This is the top priority for the gentry and wealthy families in Qingzhou City. Even if they have feelings for the past, as the helmsmen of a family, they have to give up all feelings and face it with reason.

Negotiations with Wang Shouzhong are undoubtedly the most important. If you deal with Wang Shouzhong, Huaiyou can face Wang Shouxin from Mizhou and Liu Yansi from Haizhou calmly.

There are still 40,000 troops from Lu in these two places. If they refuse to stop the war and accept the reality, it will be another protracted war for Huaiyou that he will never want to see.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhong was not that kind of stubborn and paranoid personality. After realizing the reality of being imprisoned and the possible future of Pinglu Ping's future without his own existence, he finally accepted Jiang Feng's suggestion to exchange the future of the Wang clan for Pinglu's peaceful solution.

Wang Shouzhong asked Jiang Feng a question at the end, that is, joining Pinglu without invading Haizhou in the south, so how would Huaiyou, who took Xu Yan, treat Pinglu? Jiang Feng's answer was that it might be later, but sooner or later there would be this battle.

This answer made Wang Shouzhong very satisfied. He seemed to have let go of his inner entanglement and no longer had too much resistance to Huaiyou.

***************************************

"Wang Guorong and Wang Guohua's brothers have a good relationship with their father. This should be a target that can be fought for. His mother died early and the family's influence was not strong. Therefore, the two brothers actually showed signs of marginalization before. The third brother Wang Guoxi should be the heir of Wang Shouzhong's inner tendency, but now all this has been broken, and there is no big impact on the two brothers Wang Guorong and Wang Guohua."

Wang Miao and Zhang Wanshan were discussing how to utilize the contradictions and resources within Pinglu to resolve the negative impact that the fall of Pinglu Army, a behemoth, might have on the entire Pinglu Qizhou as quickly as possible.

"Well, our idea is to ask Wang Guorong to take Wang Shouzhong's letter to Haizhou, and Wang Guoxi to take Wang Shouzhong's letter to Mizhou, asking the Pinglu army to lay down their weapons and accept the reorganization." Wang Miao introduced his thoughts in an orderly manner.

"Well, the two dissatisfied sons go to each other. What will Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi think about it?" Jiang Feng stroked his jaw with interest and leaned on Hu's chair, with a bit of thinking still flowing in his eyes.

"It's not easy to say now. In the Pinglu army, Wang Shouzhong was absolutely arbitrary and autocratic. Liu Yansi was Wang Shouzhong's number one confidant and was only loyal to Wang Shouzhong. Wang Shouzhong's sons and even Wang Shouxin had no influence on him. However, now that Wang Shouzhong is in our hands, it is difficult to judge what he would think. However, with our understanding of Liu Yansi's personality, he should consider Wang Shouzhong's life safety, otherwise his loyalty to Wang Shouzhong would become a joke, which may greatly damage his reputation."

Zhang Wanshan's ideas are also very clear, and he is cautious and meticulous in considering problems. Over the years of polishing and training have successfully transformed him, and he can also look at problems from a higher and farther angle.

"We think that Wang Shouxin is a person who is unique is relatively small. It is very likely that he will wait and see in the early stage, contact in the middle stage, and accept it in the final stage. His personality determines that he is unlikely to carry the burden of the entire Pinglu army, and his prestige is not enough to rule the entire Pinglu army."

Jiang Feng agreed with Wang Miao and Zhang Wanshan's analysis and judgment, but the most urgent thing now is to act quickly. The situation in Xuzhou and Xuzhou is tense, which makes him feel pressured.

"Since you have made this decision, then arrange people immediately." Jiang Feng made a decisive decision. "Wang Shouxin's side, he will be free of conditions. He wants to lead the army, like a lifetime of wealth, he will be allowed to lead the army, but he must follow the rules of Huaiyou. We need to explain this to him clearly, and he should also be clear about it. As for Liu Yansi's side, I think it's a bit troublesome. This guy may not be surrendering as you judge. If you don't do it well, you will have to make trouble."

"We have also considered Liu Yansi's side, but we think that as long as we take down Wang Shouxin and get stuck in Mizhou, we will not be afraid that Liu Yansi will cause trouble. A Haizhou and its foundation is unstable. Even if Liu Yansi wants to cause trouble first, he has to consider whether he can accomplish something. He is just powerless."

Wang Miao was also very sure that Liu Yansi was definitely more difficult to deal with than Wang Shouxin, but he had a fatal weakness, which was that he was stationed in Haizhou.

Haizhou was originally a territory of the Invasion Army, but now he has just joined the hands of him. Moreover, the local gentry did not support him. Many gentry secretly communicated with Xuzhou. Liu Yansi needed to prevent chaos among these gentry and salt merchants in Haizhou at any time.

If Liu Yansi was stationed in Mizhou, then the problem would be troublesome. Mizhou has always been the base of Pinglu Army, so you can try it with Mizhou.

So the most urgent task now is to solve the Mizhou problem. As long as Mizhou is a little bit off, it is stuck in a corner of Haizhou. The surrounding area is full of Huaiyou territory. If Liu Yansi wants to cause trouble, he can only sit and wait for death.

Of course, these are all the worst plans. With Liu Yansi's loyalty to Wang Shouzhong, the generals did not think that Liu Yansi would resist Wang Shouzhong's orders, especially when the situation was not superior, this possibility would be even smaller.

"Wang Guorong also has an advantage when he goes to Haizhou. The two have different statuses and different levels of trust from Wang Shouzhong. Both of them have their own thoughts. It is impossible to unify them. Wang Guorong cannot trust Liu Yansi, and Liu Yansi cannot be complacent about Wang Guorong, but what about the Ziqing Army under Liu Yansi? The Ziqing Army has not been established for a long time. They only know that Wang Guorong is Wang Shouzhong's eldest son, which is another unstable factor. So based on the above factors, we judge that Liu Yansi cannot cause trouble."
