Chapter 1562 Assassination of Wang Mang


    Chapter 1560: Assassination of Wang Mang


    Chao Gai didn''t think of swords and weapons at first. After all, Liangshan''s foundation was not strong, and it was Liangshan who was hurt by swords and weapons. However, Wu Yong saw through the Hongmen Banquet he had set up, so he had no choice but to force the army to launch a coup.


    At Wu Yong''s reminder, Song Jiang was already prepared for Chao Gai and recruited all his confidants in advance. He quickly recalled his younger brother Song Yu, Lu Junyi and other leaders to return to suppress Chao Gai''s rebellion.


    Song Yu also had very little understanding of Song Jiang''s tearing down the alliance, but Song Jiang was his only alive brother after all. Song Qing and other brothers have now died in battle, so he naturally could not see Song Jiang''s body and head.


    Song Yu immediately prepared to lead the army back to suppress the rebellion, and nearly half of the other leaders also returned to help Song Jiang, but nearly half of the leaders chose to wait and see, neither helping Song Jiang nor Chao Gai, including Lu Junyi.


    Lu Junyi did not agree with Song Jiang''s decision, but he had been brothers with Song Jiang for many years, and his personality was a bit indecisive, so he could not completely break up like Chao Gai, so he chose to wait and see without helping each other.


    Song Jiang has been in charge of the Liangshan Army for many years, and his prestige is naturally not comparable to Chao Gai. Chao Gai suddenly launched a coup, which really caught Song Jiang off guard. However, with the four leaders of Song Yu, Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo and Lu Zhishen returning, the rebellion was gradually suppressed, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to Chao Gai.


    Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chao Gai was unwilling to give up, so he sent Yan Qing to lobby Lu Junyi. He knew that Lu Junyi also supported the recruitment, so he wanted to get Lu Junyi''s support to defeat Song Jiang.


    At the critical moment of the internal struggle in Liangshan, Lu Junyi''s indecisiveness was deficient again. Even with Yan Qing begging, Lu Junyi was still hesitant, so he missed the excellent opportunity to send troops.


    After Lu Junyi made a decision, the coup initiated by Chao Gai had been suppressed by the leaders.


    During this coup, more than 5,000 casualties in Liangshan, and Li Jun, who supported Chao Gai, was also killed in battle on the spot.


    Chao Gai was shot by Hu Yanzhuo with an arrow, but escaped under the protection of Shi Jin and led 5,000 remaining troops to Beihai and surrendered to Beihai Prefect Li Jing.


    After learning about this, Lu Junyi regretted it, but it was useless and could only continue to stay under Song Jiang''s hands.


    Liangshan''s total strength was only 40,000, but after such a turmoil, it directly reduced by one quarter of its troops, and the total strength dropped to 30,000, which was a serious injury to its vitality.


    Qingzhou, Qi State


    After leaving Liangshan, Wang Mang came to Qi non-stop again, preparing to lobby Zhu Tianpeng to join the Anti-Qin Alliance.


    Huang Chao was forced to surrender to the Han Dynasty. Although it was equivalent to pursuing a rebellion after all, he had not changed his flags and banners. Therefore, Qi was nominally a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, so he could naturally join the newly established new dynasty.


    However, Zhu Tianpeng is not as easy as Song Jiang. Even if Wang Mang struggles, he can''t speak out. So Wang Mang realizes that it is impossible to convince Zhu Tianpeng without taking the ultimate move, so he stays in Qi and waits for the opportunity.


    When news of the internal strife in Liangshan came, Wang Mang had no unexpected expression on his face. He had long guessed that Song Jiang''s rebellion would cause a turmoil in Liangshan.


    Song Jiang decided to accept the envoy himself, and everyone in Liangshan thought so, but now he suddenly turned against him and slapped himself in the face. It is natural that someone would object.


    Wang Mang had long guessed that there would be internal strife in Liangshan, but he did not remind Song Jiang in advance, but used Liangshan as bait to lure the Qin army in Beihai to go on a move, and Qi State would not watch Liangshan collapse.


    The Liangshan in Wang Mang''s plan is actually not important. After all, Liangshan has only a total of 40,000 troops, and its overall combat power is generally not high. Even if it joins the Anti-Qin Alliance, its role is destined to be limited.


    Therefore, the real purpose of digging for this trip south was not just to lobby Song Jiang, but also to use it to Laqi Zhu Tianpeng to go into the water.


    Wang Mang wanted to use Liangshan as bait to provoke a war between the two countries. Once Zhu Tianpeng and Li Jing start a war, he can only join the anti-Qin side to fight against the Qin army. Wang Mang wielded the tiger skin of the Anti-Qin Alliance and used his own strength to storm among the Qingzhou princes, but he still underestimated Li Jing''s prudence.


    When Wang Mang learned that the Qin army did not take the opportunity to send troops, his face was full of shock and surprise. This was obviously different from what he expected. Li Jing took the initiative to let go of such a good opportunity, and at the same time, Wang Mang''s follow-up plan was stuck.


    Wang Mang went south this time mainly to pull Zhu Tianpeng into the water, but if Zhu Tianpeng''s Qi State has not been involved, he will only win over Song Jiang, who has been seriously injured, which will not help the overall situation.


    "It''s tricky. It seems that you have to think of other solutions. You have to hurry up." Wang Mang said in his heart.


    As the leader of the Anti-Qin Alliance and the first hero of the establishment of the new imperial court, Wang Mang must rush back before Liu Che became emperor, otherwise his work back and forth would become a wedding dress for others in vain.


    Although Wang Mang is not sure to convince Zhu Tianpeng, he will try it again no matter what.


    "Jiu Wuba, let''s go to the Qi Prince''s Mansion."


    "No."


    Under Ju Wuba''s escort, Wang Mang went to the Qi Palace again, but unexpectedly he was assassinated on the way.


    "The traitor was killed."


    Assassination is already normal for Wang Mang, but this time the lineup of the assassin group is unprecedented. Not only are there masters at the level of a half-step master, but there are even masters.


    "Hoho, is Qin Hao so unwilling tolerate me?" Wang Mang said with a wry smile. Even the Grand Master was sent here, and he would not give up until he killed him.


    This assassination was arranged by Zhang Liang. Wang Mang''s various actions in Qingzhou still made Zhang Liang unbearable, so he sent assassins to assassinate him.


    This time, the great master sent by Zhang Liang was Dongfang Shuo, the half-step great master was Qin Yijue, and Chang''e was secretly providing information. It was logical that it was absolutely impossible to fail, but in the end, it was because the patrol generals such as Xia Luqi, Wang Yanzhang arrived.


    Although Wang Yanzhang blocked the city gate in time, he still failed to capture Dongfang Shuo and Qin Yijue, but the Black Ice Platform also lost three top-notch assassins for this.


    "Mr. Wang Mang, you were frightened."


    Zhu Tianpeng said with a bad face. He didn''t expect that the Qin army assassins would be rampant. The courage to assassinate Wang Mang, the envoy of the Three Kingdoms, was simply slapping him in the face.


    "The public security of Qi is really good. The spy from Qin will come whenever he wants and leave when he wants. Wang has really gained knowledge."


    Wang Mang praised and implicitly sarcastically, and after a strange sarcasm, he said, "King of Qi, no one knows this time when I am disguised myself as Qi, but the Qin assassin knows what he is doing and sets up assassin in the street. Don''t you find it strange about this?"
