Chapter 762 Jiang Wei Instigates Bai Wuan's Rebellion
Bai Wuan smiled and said,
"Not rich or powerful, but more like a wicked and evil person."
The two women laughed sweetly and said,
"You are such a joke, what do you do? You are so vicious and evil."
"Murder and arson."
Bai Wuan was telling the truth, however, the women were not afraid at all. They all laughed and said he was bragging.
Bai Wuan didn't explain, but just enjoyed it calmly.
Several of the women were veteran technicians...ah, service staff, with extremely high emotional intelligence. They spoke in a gentle and eloquent manner, chatting with Bai Wuan about family matters and listening to Bai Wuan talk about some strange stories from other regions.
Serve people comfortably.
Half an hour later, a woman leaned over to Bai Wuan's ear and said,
"Master, you seem to be feeling uncomfortable. There is a private room upstairs. We sisters can help you relieve your heat."
"That's not necessary."
Just kidding, if it was an ordinary brothel girl, Bai Wuan would have slept with her, but this place was introduced by Jiang Wei, and the people were also arranged by Jiang Wei, so he didn't dare to take the risk easily.
Here, the guards are outside the curtain and will rush in immediately if there is any movement. But it is different once you enter the room. The guards cannot follow you in. And when people are most relaxed, they are also the easiest to be killed.
Although Guan Shouchang had let down his guard against Jiang Wei, Bai Wuan still hadn't.
Guan Shouchang was used to recruiting surrendered generals under his command, but Bai Wuan did not have this habit.
He has a natural sense of vigilance towards the outside world.
He followed Jiang Wei out this time just to see what he was trying to do.
Now that the army is about to set out, if Jiang Wei wants to do something, he must do it within these few days.
If Jiang Wei remained silent, he would be able to trust Jiang Wei when the army set out south.
If there is any movement, he can deal with it calmly.
When the two women heard that Bai Wuan had rejected their kindness, they immediately put on an aggrieved look and said pitifully,
"Master, are we not serving you well? You can beat us or punish us."
"No, you guys are serving me very well, but I still have things to do."
"Then next time you come, please choose us. My name is Yingying."
"My name is Yanyan."
"Yingying Yanyan, good names, go down."
Jiang Wei was surprised to see that Bai Wuan did not go to the prostitute, but he immediately asked the two beauties beside him to go down.
After they left, Jiang Wei asked with a smile,
"Bai Shuai, is there anything inconsiderate?"
"No, I'm just not in the mood today."
"Yeah, I understand Bai Shuai's feelings."
Bai Wuan: ???
I just said it casually, what do you understand?
"Let's go out and take a walk. I think the scenery here is nice."
Bai Wuan stood up, dried himself and put on his clothes.
Jiang Wei also followed.
The two of them left the villa and came to the observation deck. No one knew where the literati here had gone. I guess they went straight to the point.
The guards followed from a distance, and the two of them came to the observation deck on the edge of the cliff. The railing was only up to the knees, and there was a thousand-foot cliff below.
It really is a great place to kill people and dump bodies.
Bai Wuan looked at the clouds rolling in the distance, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes melancholy, but he was always on guard against Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei sighed and said,
"Actually, I knew Marshal Bai was in a bad mood, so I asked you out. I wanted you to relax, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't make you happy."
Bai Wuan remained calm and asked tentatively,
"Oh? Why should I be unhappy?"
"General, I understand everything. Before this, not only you, but also me and all the brothers in our Longxiong Army all agreed that you must be the one who stayed.
If you stay in Sichuan, you can become a local emperor and live a carefree and happy life.
But unexpectedly, His Majesty chose Chen Qing."
coming.
finally come.
Bai Wuan had almost figured out what Jiang Wei meant, but he still said in a cold voice,
"Are you questioning His Majesty's decision?"
"General, I'm not questioning His Majesty's intentions. I'm just saying that His Majesty chose Chen Qing over you because she doesn't understand you and has never met you.
If she had met you, Bai Shuai, she might not choose Chen Qing, but would definitely choose you.
Oh, what a missed opportunity, I feel so sorry for you, so I understand how you feel."
Oh? Sowing discord?
Bai Wuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
"Yeah, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Why can't it be me? But I can't change His Majesty's decision."
Hearing this, Jiang Wei's heart moved. As expected, Bai Wuan also had resentment.
"Marshal, not only this matter, but there is another thing that I feel sorry for you.
After all, you were a famous general who led an army of 400,000 and destroyed the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop. You led troops in battles for more than 20 years and made great achievements.
As for General Guan, I'm not saying that he's a bad guy, it's just that he has too little experience. He was just a juggler before, so how could he know how to lead troops in battle?
If it weren't for your advice, would he have been able to invade Sichuan this time?
But now, the idea was yours, the Emperor Chuan was captured by you, all the credit belongs to him, and you are just a foil."
Bai Wuan nodded and said,
"Yes, if I were the commander-in-chief, I would have fought better in the battle to destroy the Chuan Kingdom, and there wouldn't have been so many deaths."
"Oh, that's right. Think about it, if you had taken the main force and detoured from the west, and only sent a small number of troops to contain Li Yu and me, then both of us wouldn't have lost so many people, and many of our Yan army brothers would have been able to return home alive.
Now, all the bodies are buried in the wilderness.
That’s all for now. Marshal Bai has a bad reputation and everyone is afraid of you. You are the best person to guard Sichuan and suppress the rebellion.
But Your Majesty chose Chen Qing, how unfair."
"What can I do if I'm not happy? He's the emperor. Even if I want to be the local emperor, I still need his approval."
Bai Wuan's tone was filled with resentment.
Seeing that the temperature was almost right, Jiang Wei said in a low voice,
"General Bai, if you really want to stay and be the emperor, I have a plan. I wonder if you dare to listen?"
"Humph, I destroyed Liang and Chuan, and buried four hundred thousand soldiers alive. Is there anything in this world that I dare not hear?"
"Then I'll tell you, there are still 100,000 surrendered soldiers outside Chengdu. As long as you can give them weapons tonight, these 100,000 surrendered soldiers, plus the 100,000 Longxiang Army, will immediately enter the city, surround the General's Mansion, and force Generals Guan, Chen, and Su Xiao to order the Weihu Army, Wushuang Army, and Baipao Army to surrender, leaving them as hostages, and taking over the 300,000-strong army.
By then, you will have an army of 500,000 at your disposal. As long as you defend the natural barriers in the north and the east, the 800,000 troops of Yan will be unable to break in even if they die of exhaustion.
When the time comes, you will establish a country and become emperor, and you can remove the word "local" from the word "local emperor."
Hearing this, Bai Wuan's face became serious. After a long silence, he looked at Jiang Wei and asked,
"Are you... serious?"
