Chapter 397: Split

Late at night, Wang Xiang's tent was still brightly lit and there was a lot of guarding outside. Xu Enmao and Wang Xiang had been talking secretly for several hours until midnight. Xu Enmao left with a satisfied smile. Then, the generals under Wang Xiang were recruited into the tent one after another, but there was an important figure missing among them, Suo Wenhai. ([] )

Xu Enmao was of course very satisfied. Wang Xiang agreed to all the conditions. He successfully completed an important part of the strategic plan proposed by Shangjing. Wang Xiang was recruited and appointed as the vassal. The generals under his command would all get a formal official body, these mud legs! Xu Enmao sneered in his heart. The conditions offered by Shangjing were enough to blur their eyes. Why are these people rebelling? Isn’t it just to win the opportunity of personal superiority? Now that the opportunity has come, they are still as vigorous as they can?

To recruit Wang Xiang, you can not only get tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but more importantly, Ye Kai was liberated by the 20,000 Weiwei generals trapped in Guizhou City. Xu Enmao did not expect Wang Xiang to defeat Li Xiao in the southern part, as long as he could bring enough trouble to the opponent. The main hope of attacking the southern part was still on Ye Kai. Even if he could not completely annihilate the opponent, he would be satisfied to trap the opponent firmly in the three southern states.

The biggest threat to Shangjing City was still from the 200,000 rebels led by Su Can, Congliang and others, as well as the Mongol Yuan regime that would definitely occupy northern Vietnam. His trip solved the problem in the western region and caused enough trouble for the south. In this way, Shangjing City would be able to concentrate on solving the problem in the north first. Once the north is settled, is the south still a problem?

Xu Enmao and Cao Yi discussed it many times and formulated this strategy. The first thing that was to do was to solve the rebels of Su Can congregate Liang, then negotiate with the Mongolian Yuan, and rule the river. After that, he led his troops south to defeat Li Xiao. After internal stability, with the prosperity of the Great Yue, he had to work hard to govern for decades. Then he could cross the river and fight with the Mongolian Yuan again.

They firmly believe that Dayue can defeat his opponents again and unify the world.

The appearance of So Wenhai was an accident, but it took Xu Enmao less than half an hour to convince Wang Xiang that So Wenhai tried his best to oppose the amnesty only because of the personal grudge between him and the court and the emperor, and this personal grudge will inevitably affect Wang Xiang's future.

Not everyone has the opportunity to join the White Lotus Sect and strive to be the leader of the sect. Isn’t it just for this day?

Xu Enmao did not stay in Wang Xiang's camp for more, but directly brought Wang Xiang's handwritten letter and a trusted general to Guizhou City. Suo Wenhai had a great prestige in Wang Xiang's troops. Xu Enmao noticed this problem through some very small details in the tent during the day. This person is now a poisonous snake. If he takes the risk, he will send someone to assassinate himself, once he succeeds, he will block the road to recruitment.

It doesn't matter if you die, but because of this, the great affairs of His Majesty the Emperor will be ruined. Then don't redeem it for a hundred deaths. Therefore, although he was extremely tired, Xu Enmao decided to leave overnight. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he will not give his opponent any chance to turn the tables.

Suo Wenhai was sitting in the tent, and naturally the movements of Wang Xiang could not be hidden from him. He knew clearly what happened there, and a deep sense of powerlessness emerged from his chest. He beat his unconscious legs desperately, and two lines of old tears flowed down. If he was not the half-dead body of his present, Wang Xiang would be able to sit in that position.

"Military advisor, do you really want to do this?" One person sat opposite him. "In this way, it will anger Buddha."

The person sitting opposite him was Cai Yun. Like him, he was also a poor person who was destroyed by the government and had a deep hatred for the Dayue regime. In fact, there were many such people in the army.

Wiping away the tears on his face, Suo Wenhai said in a dark and silently: "This is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. I want to see if the divine assistant of Dayue died in our camp. Is there any intention to recruit people in Shangjing? Will Buddha still have the intention to be recruited? Don't worry, as long as he succeeds, Buddha will not do anything to us, and he is afraid that he will not succeed."

Cai Yun nodded, "Don't worry, this military advisor, I have more than a thousand people under my command. I suddenly attacked. No matter what Xu Enmao died, he was the only one who succeeded. After I succeeded, the military advisor would save my life. Buddha would definitely kill me."

"Don't worry, as long as you succeed, Buddha will definitely not do anything to you. If that road is gone, he will not touch his own brothers again."

"I understand!" Cai Yun nodded and stood up, "Then I'll go and prepare now!"

Just as he was about to go out, the curtain door of the big tent was lifted open, and another general came in, "Military advisor?"

"Have Buddha made a decision?" Suo Wenhai looked up at him.

"Yes, Buddha has decided to recruit peace!" The visitor whispered. "The court has appointed him as the Marquis of Wu."

Suo Wenhai closed his eyes and said to Cai Yun: "Go on!"

The person who came was shocked, "Military advisor, are you?"

"Kill Xu Enmao and everything will be done!" Suo Wenhai said coldly: "I can't watch Buddha lead us, the miserable brothers, to a dead end."

"Xu Enmao has left!" The person who came was stunned by the shock. Seeing that Cai Yun was about to walk out of the tent, he realized and shouted: "Military advisor, Xu Enmao has left the camp and went to Guizhou City. It was Fo Tuo who personally sent someone to escort him."

Leaving? Suo Wenhai supported himself with both hands and stood up from the chair. His legs were on the ground, and he was unable to touch his strength. He fell down immediately. The two of them hurriedly helped Suo Wenhai up.

So Wenhai collapsed on the chair in despair, "It's over, it's over!" he murmured.

"Military advisors, being recruited is not a dead end! After all, for us, although they occupy two states, the imperial court is still a huge monster to us. To be honest, I really don't have the confidence to overthrow them." The visitor was also someone who Suo Wenhai believed in, and he spoke bluntly.

Suo Wenhai covered his face with both hands and sighed: "You don't understand, you don't understand."

The two looked at each other. They didn't know what Suo Wenhai said they didn't understand.

After a while, Suo Wenhai looked up and looked at the two of them, "Tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to leave here. Will you go with me?"

"Military advisor, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the saint!" So Wenhai sighed, "But can't be reliable anymore. When he marched into the south, he will inevitably be defeated sooner or later."

"The military advisor is leaving? I'm afraid that Buddha won't let you go?" the man later shook his head and said.

"Buddhist wants to recruit a peace, and he always knows that he will hear the saint. I am afraid he still has fantasies and wants to take the saint to join the court. I will ask this mission to convince the saint that he will let me go!" So Wenhai said: "He has recruited peace and become the military minister of the court. He no longer needs me. I am here, and it will only be his burden. He wishes me to leave. If he doesn't kill me to please the court, I will be grateful."

"I'll go with the military advisor!" Cai Yun said loudly: "I believe in the military advisor's vision. Thinking about the beginning, we were like a dog that was stray. If we were not a military advisor, we wouldn't know that we were in that corner and were in a panic all day long. Since the military advisor is so sure, I wouldn't want to wait for death here. Besides, I wouldn't want to kneel down and kowtow to those people for their tribute."

"Where are you?" Suo Wenhai looked at the man.

"Me?" Later, the man hesitated a little and did not answer for a long time.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go. It's just a fight between us brothers. Finally, I advise you that after going to the south, you must be careful in everything. If something is wrong, get out as soon as possible. I will always have a place for you."

"Thank you, the military advisor. I will stay here and try my best. Maybe I will have a day of success." Although the visitor looked ashamed, he was still firm in his choice.

On the second day, Suo Wenhai asked Wang Xiang to go to Shanzhou to persuade the saint Yan Miao to support his actions. Everyone knew that this was just an excuse, and Wang Xiang knew it very well. With the hatred between Suo Wenhai and the current emperor, he was definitely unwilling to be invited. Now his resignation is just an excuse to escape.

Wang Xiang had thought of killing Suo Wenhai as his confession, but then he thought about the influence of Suo Wenhai in the army. If he did this, he would probably feel disappointed. Once the brothers were disloyal, his trip to the south would be really accused by Suo Wenhai.

Now that Suo Wenhai is asking to leave, it is easy to get along and disperse, and not to harm the brothers. He agreed to the other party's request in great magnanimity and allowed Suo Wenhai to take Cai Yun's 1,000 people as the accompanying guards.

Suo Wenhai did not stop at all, and left the Wang Xiang's big tent, carried a small package, got on the carriage, and walked towards Shanzhou without any nostalgia under Cai Yun's escort. Unlike other generals who made a fortune in the rebellion, Suo Wenhai had no belongings, and his ambition was no longer above the wealth and beauty.

Three days later, the siege of Guizhou City was lifted, and Ye Kai's 20,000 Weiwei Guards took the lead in leaving Guizhou and heading south. Behind him, Wang Xiang began to reorganize, and the armor and weapons provided by the court would arrive soon. Before that, he would expand his army as much as possible.

Shanzhou City, Hong Niangzi's Nest.

After defeating Zheng Changping in one fell swoop, Hongniang occupied the city of Shanzhou. With this as the center, the power continued to spread to the entire Shanzhou. Wang Xiang could not compete with him in Shanzhou, so he could only develop towards Guizhou. Unlike Wang Xiang's strategy, Hongniang took a steady route. After occupying Shanzhou City, she did not rush to expand her army, but focused on managing the local area. The White Lotus Sect's best behavior of eating big people, grabbing rich people, and snatching away the place where she is located was strictly prohibited in Shanzhou. On the contrary, Hongniang was more generous to these people and even used the original officials. As long as you have the ability and are willing to do things, you can become an official. Of course, if you have the same intention, the knife will come very quickly.

In two years, Shanzhou has already become a little bit like that. After Hongniang's army expanded to 20,000, no more soldiers were added. For Hongniang and her core team, Shanzhou's financial resources were the limit to supporting an army of 20,000. Instead of blindly expanding the army, it would be better to train these 20,000 people into elite soldiers. People who came out of Yingzui Rock highly praised the way of elite soldiers.

The soldiers are not about the many, but about the essence!

(Correct: The previous chapters mentioned that the state where Hong Niangzi is located should be Shanzhou. The gunman mistakenly wrote it into Huangzhou. Sorry, the VIP chapter cannot be modified, so I will correct it here.)
