"Wang Chengxi, you are really useless. Are you ready to give up with such a little setback?"

Looking at Wang Chengxi's depressed face, Wu Heng was so angry that he had lost all the great situation he created.

Before returning to Fengjing, Wu Heng repeatedly told Wang Chengxi to let him firmly control the army. If he was not here, Li Xun forced him to do something in the name of the governor, and could lead the 4,000 veterans in the headquarters to act. If he did not work hard, he would act perfunctorily. Li Xun could not do anything to him.

But how did Wang Chengxi do it?

A large-scale bandit crisis broke out in Suzhou. Li Xun ordered him to send troops to assist, and Wang Renzi's request for help was a document to send troops. This is a great thing. Even if Wu Heng did not leave, it would be impossible to stop him. Just send troops. However, Wang Chengxi was greedy and afraid of death. He was unwilling to lead his troops to Suzhou. Instead, he sent his officers to lead the army to Suzhou. This was simply stupid. Doesn't he understand the idiom that people's hearts cannot be measured?

In fact, although Wu Heng was scolded by the Princess of Chu when he returned to Beijing this time, the matter was finally resolved. He then met several important members of Yang Binglin and the Right Prime Minister's Party, and gained a lot. They told Wu Heng to try to stabilize the situation in Wuzhou and further undermine Li Xun. Soon after, they will mobilize their forces in the court, add a defensive envoy in Wuzhou, and send Wang Chengxi to Xiazhou as a defensive envoy, so as to minimize Li Xun's military and military power.

But the development of the current situation is often so unexpected. The bandits in Suzhou suddenly broke out and went out of control. Li Xun decisively sent troops to rescue him and finally won a complete victory. Taking this opportunity, Li Xun won all troops with his military merits and titles. Yu Yanhui, Han Lin and others turned against each other. Zhao Zhi also took this opportunity to finally have an excuse to completely relax Li Xun's military rights in the West Road of Longyou. Wang Chengxi was marginalized, and Wu Heng, without the support of generals such as Wang Chengxi, also lost the qualification to continue to fight against Li Xun.

"I am today because of you? Wu Heng, all your promises now seem to be a piece of shit."

Wang Chengxi glared at Wu Heng, roared loudly, and his emotions were a little out of control. He now regretted following Wu Heng. Now, after calming down and thinking about it, Wang Chengxi suddenly realized that he was really stupid. Everything that Wu Heng had promised before now seemed to be nothing more than a piece of paper, mirrors and moons. In the end, Wu Heng did whatever he should do, and he did not lose anything, but he lost everything.

Wu Heng frowned and was secretly angry, but what should I care about with such a rough man? And he still has some things to use for Wang Chengxi now. Otherwise, Wu Heng should kick him away with a person who has no value. The farther he can, the better, let go of trouble.

Wu Heng spoke out to comfort him: "General Wang, don't be impatient. Things have come to this point today. You don't want to see it, and I don't want to see it, but since it has happened, we should think about how to solve it, rather than criticize and insult each other here."

Wang Chengxi sneered: "You can't even protect yourself, what else can you do to help me? I trusted you too easily that day, so I ended up today."

Wu Heng said indifferently: "Even if Li Xun has all the military power, he has no right to interfere in local government affairs. I am the governor of Wuzhou, so he can't do anything to me."

"How do you want to help me?"

Wang Chengxi has slowly calmed down at this time. He is only in his early forties this year, so he is back to Beijing for retirement. How can he be willing to do so?

Wu Heng said: "It's very simple. What is the reason why Li Xun can have this situation today? It is because of military achievements. He made military achievements in Suzhou, and some people were helping the fire behind it. This is how you can quickly grasp the overall situation of the entire Wuzhou. If you can also make contributions and there are ministers in the court to ask for merit for you, things are not impossible to be restored."

Wang Chengxi asked, "How to make a contribution?"

"The court asked me to migrate 200,000 foreign people to Suzhou. You have also seen the current situation. Li Xun deliberately couldn't get along with me, and he refused to lend me one soldier. I didn't have enough manpower and could not complete the task according to the deadline given by the court. So I need your help. As long as you help me complete the migration of the people, I will immediately write to the court to ask for you."

Speaking of this, Wu Heng glanced at Wang Chengxi, who lowered his head slightly, with a contemplative look on his face, so he continued, "Yang Binglin has promised me that after the matter is completed, he will mobilize the power of his family to speak for you in the court, and recommend you to be the Xiazhou Defensive Envoy. At that time, you will no longer have to act according to Li Xun's expression."

After hearing Wu Heng's words, Wang Chengxi was a little moved. He naturally knew who Yang Binglin was: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"

Wu Heng smiled, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Chengxi: "This is Yang Binglin's handwritten letter, you can take a look!"

Wang Chengxi took the letter and opened it to see it carefully. It was indeed Yang Binglin's confidence. However, he had never seen Yang Binglin's handwriting. The authenticity of this letter could not be distinguished. Even so, Wang Chengxi chose to believe it because now he has no other choice.

After returning the letter to Wu Heng, Wang Chengxi said, "What do you want to do?"

Finally convinced Wang Chengxi, Wu Heng narrowed his eyes and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "No hurry, let's sit down and chat slowly."

The reason why Wu Heng regarded the migration work arranged by the imperial court so seriously was actually due to his own safety. What was the reason why Li Xun was able to quickly gain military power in the entire Wuzhou? Isn’t it because Suzhou’s bandit suppression made contributions and gave Zhao Zhi a chance and excuse to take action. Zhao Zhi obviously did not want him to continue to serve as the governor of Wuzhou. This was a great threat and restraint for Li Xun, but his identity was not that simple. If he mobilized himself for no reason, the resistance would not be small.

As the emperor, Zhao Zhi may not be so easy. Wu Heng is worried now. If he cannot complete the migration work issued by the court, Zhao Zhi will probably attack him immediately once he has the opportunity and excuses. Wu Heng does not want to leave. He wants to stay in Wuzhou and have some action. This action is aimed at Li Xun. As long as he destroys the only relative of the foreign affairs of King Qi, his status in the large political power group of Right Prime Minister and King Chu, his own status will definitely be greatly improved.

So, Li Xun and Wu Heng are actually very similar. They have a common starting point in one aspect. Li Xun came to Wuzhou to make a big move and create a bright future. Isn’t Wu Heng the same?

It is precisely because Li Xun and Wu Heng have a common goal that there must be a fight between them. Only one of the two people can stay in Wuzhou, and one mountain cannot withstand two tigers. Li Xun understands, and Wu Heng naturally understands it too.
