Daqin Wanchao: The gold list exposed my identity

"Our army has won a complete victory in this battle!"

"Yes, after this battle, the Han army will never dare to fight our army again!"

"To have such a record, it all depends on the master's strategizing."

Gongsun Sheng, Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun looked happy, they were very satisfied with the result of this battle.

At this time, Wang Mang, who had already removed his armor and put on a set of clean white clothes, also came to the meeting hall.

"See Master!" The three immediately silenced and saluted Wang Mang.

"There is no need to be too polite." Wang Mang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Our army gained a lot in today's battle. Let the military commander talk about the damage and spoils of war."

After the war, of course it is necessary to count the war damage.

Gongsun Sheng seemed to have expected his master to ask a long time ago, so he immediately stood up and saluted:

"Returning to the master, in this battle, our army wiped out more than 12 Han troops and took [-] prisoners. The rest of the Han troops all escaped.

Our army killed more than 2000 people, injured 8000 people, seized 100 million dans of grain and grass, [-] horses, and countless other armor, weapons, and siege equipment. "

This result made Wang Mang nod in satisfaction.

Although the Han army fled a little, but on such a large battlefield, the opponent's soldiers and horses are twice as many as his, so it is normal for some people to escape.

As for the other trophies, Gongsun Sheng only picked the important ones, and the other unimportant ones have not been counted yet.

"Very good!" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Mang's mouth: "After this battle, the Han Dynasty will never dare to despise us again."

"As for the captives, I will hand them over to the three of you, and pick out the strong ones and put them into our camp."

"Yes!" The three of them saluted at the same time.

"Next, bring Xiao He up!" Wang Mang said loudly to the soldiers outside.

After dealing with his own affairs, Xiao He is next.

For the famous Xiao He, one of the three masters in the early Han Dynasty, Wang Mang still admired him very much.

Although the other party has been his prisoner this time, in all honesty, Xiao He is actually innocent.

Before Xiao He even reached the battlefield, the Han army had collapsed.

In this situation, even Xiao He couldn't turn the tide.

The defeat of 20 soldiers and horses cannot be stopped by one person.

And if Xiao He had been by Cao Shen and Fan Kui's side from the beginning, Wang Mang also believed that the Han army could not have been defeated so quickly.

However, if you lose, you lose!

Xiao He, who has become a prisoner, can only be escorted to the meeting hall unkempt and disheveled at this moment.

As soon as Xiao He came in, he felt the eyes of everyone present.

He couldn't help frowning, and snorted coldly: "If you want to kill, kill it, why insult a defeated person before death?"

Xiao He still has a backbone, he lost this battle, he thinks that he also has an inescapable responsibility, and he just wants to die as soon as possible.

People who are about to die are not afraid of anything, and they don't look good towards Wang Mang and others.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "Since you are defeated, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Even Chen Qingzhi frowned and said: "This is Yuancheng, not you, you need to show your majesty as a prime minister here!"

The two were not resentful that Xiao He was so arrogant as a prisoner, and reprimanded him one after another.

On the contrary, Wang Mang didn't care, he waved his hand to signal the two of them don't need to talk too much.

Stepping down from the main seat and coming to Xiao He, Wang Mang looked at the depressed face of the other party and said with a smile: "Master Xiao wants to die, but I won't let you die!"

Xiao He's face changed when he heard this: "Wang Mang! Could it be that you still want to torture this old man!"

"Hmph, you are the number one on the odd number list, if this matter gets out, you won't be ridiculed by the world!"

Xiao He thought that Wang Mang let him live just to humiliate himself, so as to make the big man lose face.

In order not to let Wang Mang succeed, he even slammed into the pillars in the hall after he finished speaking!

Chapter 20 Xiao He's Reflection, A Shocking Bet

In the meeting hall of Yuancheng, the upright Xiao He thought that Wang Mang wanted to humiliate himself, so he slammed headfirst into the pillars in the hall.

However, he ignored that Wang Mang was by his side!

Seeing that Xiao He wanted to hit the pillar to commit suicide, Wang Mang shook his head, reached out and grabbed Xiao He's shoulder, immobilizing him.

At this moment, Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi also reacted, and they rushed up immediately, holding Xiao He down on the left and right.

"Let go of the old man, let go of the old man!"

Xiao He struggled desperately, trying to save the face of himself and the big man.

However, Xiao He was no match for Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi, he couldn't move at all because he was firmly held down.

But Gongsun Sheng waved Dao Chen in his hand at this moment, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiangguo misunderstood, my master didn't mean to humiliate you.

On the contrary, my master still wants to keep Xiao Xiangguo to serve in Yuancheng. "

Of course Gongsun Sheng knew the purpose of Wang Mang bringing Xiao He here alone. Seeing Xiao He misunderstood, he took the initiative to stand up and clarify.

As soon as this remark came out, Xiao He, who was still very excited at first, trembled all over, and looked at Wang Mang in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that Wang Mang would want to recruit himself!

You know, he is the prime minister of the big man, and the big man can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people. How could he surrender if he thinks like this!

Thinking of this, Xiao He calmed down, and said with a sneer, "I heard you right, Wang Mang, you actually want to recruit me?

Don't you know the relationship between the old man and the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the status of the old man in the Han Dynasty? "

The meaning of these words is obvious, Xiao He will not surrender.

At his level, fame and prestige are more important than anything else, even if he dies, he cannot surrender to Wang Mang.

But Wang Mang was not surprised by this, and even looked at Xiao He with some appreciation and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as I expected, Xiao Xiangguo is really proud.

But, Xiao Xiangguo, haven't you ever wondered why I, Wang Mang, are at the top of the list of odd numbers?

And why do you want to escape one of the fifty ways of heaven? "

His series of rhetorical questions caused Xiao He's face to change drastically, because he didn't know how to answer.

These have completely overturned his cognition!

Originally, he thought that there was only the Han Dynasty in this world, and he only needed to assist his master Liu Bang well.

But now, the top ten dynasties have appeared, the Jinbang is now alive, and there is also the strange number Wang Mang.

All these are showing that the world is about to be in chaos!

His previous ideals and aspirations, as well as his idea of ​​assisting the big man, were all shaken by Wang Mang's words at this moment.

At this moment, even a well-informed person like Xiao He couldn't help being stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Wang Mang chuckled, and said, "Since Xiao Xiangguo doesn't know, let me tell you!

Today's world is no longer the world you used to be. There will be disputes in the world, and everyone will attack each other in order to compete for the rewards on the list.

And I, Wang Mang, am the odd number among them. I am destined to rule the world and change the whole world.

The defeat of the big man is just the beginning!

If Xiao Xiangguo is sensible, he should understand this and surrender to me. "

These words are categorical!

It not only showed what Wang Mang was going to do next, but also analyzed to Xiao He what was going to happen in the world next.

At the same time, they officially extended an olive branch to Xiao He!

Although Gongsun Sheng had said just now that he wanted to recruit the other party, that was not what he said himself after all.

People like Xiao He have a good face, and Wang Mang will naturally give him a good face.

And Xiao He at this moment was indeed shaken by this.

The sudden appearance of Jinbang and the demonstration of Jinbang made Xiao He realize that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the Han Dynasty he did can only be ranked No.3, and even lost to Wang Mang in this battle.

Could it be that it was God's will to help Wang Mang rebuild a new world?

However, if he really wanted Xiao He to surrender, he couldn't let go of his face and reputation.

His prestige and reputation in Dahan had been accumulated over the years, and if he surrendered, it would be destroyed.

And if he really surrendered, his family would also be implicated.

Based on his understanding of Liu Bang, as long as Liu Bang receives news of his surrender, he will definitely attack his family.

The combination of fame, prestige and the lives of his family made Xiao He shake his head again and again.

Of course, he was indeed moved by Wang Mang's words, but he was not only thinking about himself, but also the lives of his family members!

Thinking of this, Xiao He regained his usual wisdom and calmly said:

"Although your words did move my heart, I, Xiao He, cannot kill my entire family of Xiao for my own sake!"

The meaning of these words is already very clear. If Xiao He had the title, his family would be executed by Liu Bang.

He would rather die here alone than let his family members be ransacked!

However, as soon as Xiao He finished speaking, Wang Mang laughed out loud!

The hearty laughter spread out of the hall, and everyone in the city lord's mansion could hear it.

"This...why are you laughing?" Xiao He frowned, puzzled.

But Wang Mang stretched out his hand to push away Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi's pressing hands, and said with a smile: "I laughed at Xiao Xiangguo, and sometimes he worried about his family, which is far different from Liu Bang.

However, Xiao Xiangguo must have agreed with what I just said.

That being the case, then I will just ask you one question, if I rescued your Xiao family, are you willing to surrender to me sincerely? "

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xiao He was stunned, even Gongsun Sheng, Zhao Yun and Chen Qingzhi were stunned.

They even wondered if they had heard it wrong, that their master was going to rescue the Xiao family?

You must know that the Xiao family is in Chang'an City, which is the capital of the Han Dynasty. If you want to save people from there, or the Xiao family, this is undoubtedly a big problem.

"This... Your Excellency is joking?" Xiao He was dumbfounded, he thought Wang Mang was joking with himself.

Going to Chang'an City to save so many people, are the big Han soldiers and horses in Chang'an City just for display?

Xiao He didn't believe it, he thought Wang Mang was deliberately making fun of himself.

However, Wang Mang's face straightened: "I sincerely recruit Xiao Xiangguo, how can I make a joke about such a thing.

Since Xiao Xiangguo is most worried about your family, I just need to pick them up, Xiao Xiangguo will have no worries, and he can return to me with peace of mind! "

When Xiao He heard this, he remained silent for a long time, staring at Wang Mang for a long time.

Seeing Wang Mang's determined expression didn't seem like he was joking, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha~ If your lord can really pick up my family, then what's the matter with me, Xiao He, surrendering?"

"But there is one thing, I want to make it clear to my lord in advance, if my lord can't pick up my family, please give me my death!"

Wang Mang chuckled: "Xiao Xiangguo said it yourself, a gentleman!"

"Four horses are hard to chase!" Xiao He made a bet with Wang Mang!

Chapter 21 Prepared for a long time, the gold list reappears

"Come here, take Xiao Xiangguo down to entertain you, don't neglect!"

Wang Mang made an agreement with Xiao He, and then ordered the people below to take Xiao He down.

But this time, Xiao He didn't resist, instead he laughed and followed the soldiers out of the chamber.

Perhaps in Xiao He's opinion, it is impossible for Wang Mang to fulfill the agreement with himself, and it is impossible for him to surrender to Wang Mang.

He just waited for the news of Wang Mang's failure in rescuing his family to come back, and then he could die safely!
