Chapter 453: Supporting the National Thieves
Cheng Yue led 30,000 snow troops to drive straight into the territory of Zheng for nearly a thousand miles, and arrived at the city of Xinluo, the capital of Zheng, and Zheng Wanru followed her father in a prisoner car. This way of sleeping in the open air, what rain is the day, even if Lao Zheng's cultivation is not low, and his body is extremely strong, he is also weak and black at this time.
At Zheng Wanru's strong request, Cheng Yue immediately took her to meet Lao Zheng Tou. At this time, Lao Zheng Tou could no longer see the original general's demeanor and aristocratic aura, his clothes were tattered, his description was withered, and his gray hair was scattered down, looking like an old beggar begging for food, which was called a miserable ......
"Cheng Yue, you bastard, how can you treat my father like this?" Zheng Wan was angry, picking up a pair of powder fists and beating Cheng Yue violently.
Cheng Yue couldn't resist it, so he had to flee while holding his head, and at the same time ordered the soldier guarding the prisoner's car to let Lao Zheng Tou out.
The arrival of Cheng Yue and Zheng Wanru naturally alarmed the old Zheng Tou, the old guy was originally dozing off in the prisoner car, but was awakened by the sound of Cheng Yue and Zheng Wanru's fighting, and when he opened his old eyes and saw who the woman outside was making a big fuss, he immediately howled and cried!
"Daughter, my daughter, why have you been arrested too? God has no eyes, let the wicked get what he wants!"
Old Zheng Tou cried, Zheng Wanru was filial piety, and he didn't care about chasing Cheng Yue, he rushed to the side of the prisoner car in three or two steps, poked his arms into the gap in the fence of the prisoner car, held Lao Zheng Tou's hand, and said with a crying voice: "Dad, you have suffered! My daughter never thought that the person who was killed that day would be so unconscionable, wait for me to clean him up later!"
Lao Zheng Tou looked at his flowery daughter with tears in his eyes, and his face was full of pity: "Don't say anything about cleaning up, daughter! ”
"Catch...... Zheng Wanru was stunned, and immediately understood that Lao Zheng Tou had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, Dad, my daughter was not arrested, but sent by Zheng Guojun's ministers." ”
"Sent?!"
Old Zheng Tou was stunned.
Zheng Wanru nodded, with an angry expression: "Zheng Guojun and his ministers are cowardly and incompetent, and when they saw the soldiers who killed that day approaching the city, they were all frightened. In order to let the soldiers who were killed that day retreat, they didn't remember the marriage contract between their daughter and His Royal Highness the Prince, and took the initiative to send their daughter to the army that killed that day!"
When Lao Zheng Tou heard this, he was so hung that his lungs were blown up, and his whole body trembled.
Speaking of which, Lao Zheng Tou is indeed sad, he led the army to fight a bloody battle with the enemy in front, although he was captured by the enemy, but it was also a huge difference in strength, not a crime of war. And after being captured, Lao Zheng Tou did not do anything to be sorry for the king of the country, he would rather die than give in, and always regarded Cheng Yue as an enemy. But he didn't want to think that the king who was loyal to his family would disregard the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, and even his daughter would be harmed! I have to say that this was indeed too unscrupulous, which made a loyal person like Lao Zheng Tou feel angry and chilled.
"Daddy!"
Seeing that Lao Zheng Tou was so angry, Zheng Wanru called out worriedly, for fear that something would go wrong with his father's anger.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Yue came over with a thief's eyebrows and said to the Zheng family's father and daughter: "As the saying goes: Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts over time. After this incident, it must be as if you and your father-in-law have already seen King Zheng's personality clearly, right?"
Old Zheng squinted at him: "Who is your father-in-law? Did I say that I want to marry my daughter to you?"
"Daddy!"
Zheng Wanru's face flushed and snorted.
Lao Zheng was startled, turned his head to look at his baby daughter, and looked shocked: "What? Do you really want to marry him?"
Zheng Wanru's head was almost touching her chest, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "He ruined my marriage twice, so he should always be responsible." ”
Old Zheng Tou looked at Zheng Wanru like this and didn't know what to say, his daughter clearly wanted to marry Cheng Yue, is it really good for him to stop him again?
Cheng Yue hurriedly took advantage of the situation to strike the iron, asked for the key from the soldier guarding the prisoner's car, and opened the door of the prisoner's car.
"Father-in-law, son-in-law help you get out of the car!" Cheng Yue made a gesture of support towards Lao Zheng Tou, and said with a smile.
"Humph!"
Old Zheng Tou snorted angrily, and opened Cheng Yue's arm with a wave of his hand.
"Dad!" Zheng Wanru next to him was unhappy again.
"Alas!" Lao Zheng Tou felt that the hero was short of breath, and couldn't help but sigh, Ren Chengyue stretched out his arm again and helped himself out of the prison car.
"Go! Rectify a table of high-quality wine and food, and this seat will wash the dust for my father-in-law in the Chinese military commander's tent. Cheng Yue instructed the guards.
The guards didn't dare to slack off, so they responded with a "no", turned around and ran away.
Cheng Yue and Zheng Wanru supported Lao Zheng Tou and walked towards the central military tent.
Along the way, Lao Zheng Tou kept his face calm and silent, as if he was thinking about something. Cheng Yue observed the words and looks, and could probably guess one or two, but he didn't break it.
After a while, Cheng Yue, Zheng Wanru and Lao Zheng Tou sat around a round table in the Chinese military tent. Lao Zheng was in the center, accompanied by Cheng Yue and Zheng Wanru.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has offended a lot along the way, please don't care about the villain. Give the son-in-law a chance to make amends. Cheng Yue spoke, respectfully offering a glass of wine to Lao Zhengtou.
Old Zheng Tou didn't mean to hold a wine glass, but just looked at Cheng Yue with burning eyes, and said, "If you are not busy drinking, let me ask you, what step do you have to take to enter my Zheng realm this time before you are willing to stop?"
Cheng Yue laughed, put down the cup, told Lao Zheng Tou about his plans and plates.
After listening, Lao Zheng Tou pondered for a long time and said: "King Zheng is a capricious person, although he now promises to pay you astronomical amounts of gold and silver property, and also recognizes your identity as a divine envoy, but it won't be long before the army of King Qin from other parts of Zheng Kingdom arrives, and the allies also send strong people above the Golden Body Realm to help, they will definitely turn against you, not to mention those gold and silver, it is a question whether you and your 30,000 horses can escape with their whole body." ”
Cheng Yue's eyes lit up, looking at this posture, Lao Zheng Tou is going to give him advice? !
"Don't get me wrong!" Old Zheng Tou snorted coldly and said: "My daughter is in your army right now, if you are destroyed by King Zheng, it will be all chaos, and my daughter will be in danger!"
Cheng Yue smiled bitterly, and secretly laughed in his heart that his father-in-law was really an arrogant man. On his face, he solemnly hugged his fist and saluted Lao Zhengtou: "Please teach me the strategy of retreating with my whole body." ”
Lao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then his face turned cold, and he said murderously: "If you want to live, don't stay here, immediately capture Xinluo, and take King Zheng and his family in your hands, as long as this is the case, no matter where the reinforcements come, you can be invincible! Moreover, you can get all the gold and silver property you want!"
Cheng Yue lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then a happy color appeared on his face, and he said respectfully to Lao Zheng: "Father-in-law, you have a wonderful move!
Lao Zheng stroked his beard and smiled: "It's good that you understand this evil obstacle." ”
"Dad, how can you still call Cheng Yue an evil obstacle?"
Lao Zheng Tou sighed and reluctantly changed his words: "Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, right?"
Zheng Wanru smiled at this time.
Lao Zheng Tou told Cheng Yue: "If you want to do my policy, there are a few points that you must abide by. ”
"Father-in-law, please speak!" Cheng Yue hurriedly humbly asked.
Old Zheng said solemnly: "First, it is okay to conquer Xinluo, but you can't kill Zheng Guo, King Zheng still needs to stay in his Zheng Palace." Second, Fang Yikecheng will send an envoy to the nations, declaring that this move is not to destroy Zheng, but to supervise King Zheng's fulfillment of the agreement, as long as King Zheng fulfills the agreement, you will withdraw your troops and return to China. Finally, before you withdraw your troops, you must completely overthrow King Zheng and support a pro-Xue new Zheng court. ”
Cheng Yue nodded again and again when he heard this, what Lao Zheng Tou said was all good words. Conquering Xinluo, but not destroying Zheng, can prevent countries from hating Snow Country. Second, as long as there is this excuse, you can justifiably garrison the troops in Xinluo, and you will not be left to tell the truth. The third is the most necessary. Because otherwise, King Zheng will think of the past when he was forced by someone to sign the alliance under the city to come to the city, and it will definitely be a great shame, and the sword soldiers between Zheng and Xue will rise again in the future, and his battle against Zheng will not be perfect, because the border trouble has not been eliminated!
"Thank you father-in-law for teaching!" Cheng Yue was convinced and bowed to the ground.
Lao Zheng smiled: "It's good that you can be humble and admonished." ”
Cheng Yue's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Father-in-law, I am not familiar with the Zheng Guo court, even if I want to support a new court that is pro-Xue, I have no clue, you have been an official in Zheng Guo for many years, and you know the disadvantages of this country, so it is better for you to be the number one minister of this new court!"
"Well, this one!"
After all, Lao Zheng Tou is a Zheng person, how can he not be moved in the face of such status and rights? It's just that if he uses Cheng Yue's power to ascend to such a position, he will inevitably be scolded as a national thief in the future......
Cheng Yue could guess what Lao Zheng was worried about, and persuaded with a smile: "Father-in-law, if you marry me, your old Zheng family's reputation will definitely not be good, since there are so many infamy, what can you do? On the contrary, with the skill of your father-in-law, if you can hold great power, you may not be able to make a great career in the future, and at that time, what is a little infamy?"
Lao Zheng Tou pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I promise you, this old man of the country thief has done it!"
Cheng Yue couldn't help but frown.
