Chapter 124
"Is the king talking about the advice about cutting Wei?" Wang Wei asked without changing his expression.

Yuan Ke nodded and said, "Before that, I want to ask the king a question. If you offend the king, please don't blame me."

"Speak directly!" Yuan Ke disliked his pretentious virtues, "I won't blame you."

"Since ancient times, there have been countless conquests, big and small, and the reasons for wars are also countless. Sometimes wars are fought for revenge, sometimes for peace, sometimes for talent, and sometimes for fame. I don't know what your majesty thinks What was the reason for the use of troops in the Eastern Wei Dynasty?"

Yuan Ke said flatly: "The Eastern Wei Dynasty occupied my territory and hurt my people. Naturally, this battle is for revenge!"

"Other than that, is there no other reason?" Wang Wei asked tentatively.

"Without him." Yuan Ke said firmly.

"Since this is the case, it doesn't matter if you kill people or take the city." Wang Wei said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please kill me quickly!"

After that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Yuan Ke knew that he was testing himself, but once he became curious, he didn't care so much, and immediately stopped him and said, "Hey, wait! Tell me, why did I capture Guoyang? "

Wang Wei turned his head and said with piercing eyes: "I guess, your majesty is accumulating prestige in order to seize the throne of the emperor in the future!"

This sentence was so straightforward that even Yuan Ke was taken aback, and subconsciously said perfunctorily: "Sir, there is no proof, why do you say that?"

I don't know if Yuan Ke realized that his address to Wang Wei has changed from "Hello" and "You" to "Mr." : "Your Majesty admits it, or doesn't admit it. But if Your Majesty really has this intention, it only needs a big victory, and there is no need to attack the city."

"Why is that?" Yuan Ke asked, "Isn't it possible to gain prestige by winning a battle, but not by capturing the enemy's territory?"

Wang Wei's answer is also very straightforward: "Since Liu Song Dynasty, there have been countless coups in the palace, and the main difficulties faced have come from within, not from the North. Putting it aside, let's say that the emperor and his old man are also fighting with The prestige was accumulated in the Northern Wei war, and then the focus was on the country, suppressing the rebellion, eradicating the traitors, and then ascending to the Great Treasure. The king is a smart man, can you still not see such an obvious thing? What's more, now Liang Guo Compared with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, its strength is still slightly inferior, even if the city is captured now, it will inevitably be taken away in the future, which is of little significance."

His long speech was eloquent, but Yuan Ke, a young expert in induction, grasped the central point at once, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you mean, I will become the emperor through a palace coup? Say this Words will kill you!"

Wang Wei sighed and said with a smile: "I am a dying person, now that I have a chance, how can I not hold on tightly?"

"What can you do for me?" Yuan Ke asked bluntly.

"As long as you don't kill me, Your Majesty, I will definitely help you ascend to the throne. If I can't, then you can kill my nine clans!" Wang Wei replied bluntly.

"Did Mr. Wang say that to Hou Jing at the beginning?" Yuan Ke teased.

Wang Wei was not panicked at all, and replied frankly: "Although I think I have a great talent, I can't change everything. General Hou is facing a desperate situation. I told him to give it a go. What's wrong? As for Liu Shenmao's miscalculation of the situation, causing General Hou to be placed under house arrest by the king and unable to meet me again, then I really have no way to recover."

"Hmm..." Yuan Ke felt that what he said was reasonable, and his impression of him changed, "In this case, please ask Mr. Wang to be my assistant!"

The addition of Wang Wei made Yuan Ke even more powerful.It's not that his talent must surpass Wang Sengbian or He Chen, but Wang and He are too decent, while Wang Wei has an evil spirit, and he has no psychological burden when making suggestions. Chen Ping, Liu Bang's right-hand man.

Facing the aggressive Eastern Wei army, Wang Wei's first strategy made Yuan Ke break out in a cold sweat.
-
Knowing that Guoyang City, which had just arrived and hadn’t been warmed up, was returned to its original owner, Gao Cheng, the actual ruler of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was furious, and immediately ordered the governor, Hulujin, to lead [-] troops to the south, cross the Guoshui in one breath, and fight against the south bank. Liang Guo confronted.

Xiao Yan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent troops to rescue Guoyang.But because not long ago, Liang Jun was defeated by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and he couldn't gather too many troops for a while, and the princes and kings from all over the country were also afraid of the prosperity of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so they did not dare to send troops, so they had to be led by the capital official Shang Shu Yangkan. Ten thousand and 5000 men and horses, to meet the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Yang Kan is a famous general, especially good at defensive operations.Under the leadership of Hu Lujin, the cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty launched an offensive against the Liang army in turn. Yang Kan used chariots to form an formation and responded calmly, which did not allow the Eastern Wei Dynasty to take advantage of it.

As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Yuan Ke, who was watching the situation quietly, finally waited for the opportunity!

Woshui is a big river flowing through the northern part of Liang State, rushing all the way, feeding the lush forests on both sides and countless birds and beasts.

In the early morning of this day, a young peasant woman came to the edge of Qinshui to wash clothes as usual, but she was surprised to find that a large area of ​​densely packed reeds had grown overnight on the usually endless water!

What frightened her even more was that these reeds moved slowly on the water!She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was right, and immediately dropped her clothes and ran away.

After a while, the originally quiet village boiled up. The villagers took forks and hoes and came to the river one after another to check the monster that the peasant woman said.

But the calm water is sparkling, where is there a reed pole?

The villagers came back angrily, and the peasant woman who made a fool of herself stood by the river in a daze, puzzled: "Could it be that my eyes were wrong?"

In fact, she didn't have a blind eye, but there were not only reeds, but also a thousand elite soldiers of the Liang Kingdom hidden under the water!

Yuan Ke and Wang Lin with short knives at their waists, wearing blue tights and short jackets, with hollow reed poles in their mouths for ventilation, led the way together at the front.

This is their second day in the water.

Because the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was too large, if Yuan Ke wanted to win, he had to find another way.Chen Ping studied the topographic map for an entire hour, and finally came up with this dangerous plan of sneaking around by water.

How risky is it?At least Yuan Ke felt that this plan was more dangerous than going to Xudu to lurk.
