Chapter 274: Rong Sleeping Crane: On the Use of My Father!
When the people of Chang'an City were panicking in the turbulent changes, Rong Sleeping Crane, who was far away in the western frontier, was turning over from a horse with a black body and smooth fur like silk, handed over the horsewhip to the attendant next to him, and strode towards Le Yangwen, who came up: "How is it?"
"The pigeon letter has just arrived, and everything went smoothly. Le Yangwen suppressed the joy in his eyes, and bowed his head slightly, "Judging from the forbidden army personnel launched by King Gaomi this time, the back hand left by the first emperor to him, even if it is not used all, has been exposed to eight out of ten, and the rest is no longer to be feared!"
This amount is very easy to estimate, because if the first emperor left more manpower for King Gaomi in the forbidden army, this prince would not need to pinch the Meng family for so long, and he could forcibly ascend the throne as early as when Meng Boqin had not yet entered the Northern Frontier Army.
Rong Sleeping Crane nodded slightly, he entrusted all the government affairs of Yizhou to a cadre of civil officials headed by Le Yangwen during this time, and almost all of his food and accommodation were in the barracks, accompanying the freshly baked cavalry, busy and tired, he had no time to take care of his appearance, so that he left a circle of short hair, looking at the vicissitudes of life.
This person was originally beautiful, fair-skinned, and a typical handsome appearance, most suitable for riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, and full of red sleeves. After this period of military career, his face is still fair, but his outline is a lot rougher, and his smile is as sharp as a blade. A pair of eyes are particularly bright and sharp, looking forward to it like an eagle falcon, even if it is due to the temperament that has been disguised for many years, talking and laughing freely, it is still difficult to hide the momentum.
Yiliu once joked when he was in a good mood: "The king of the county is now more and more prestigious, the last time Yanying came to reply, after going out, he stood on the corridor with his chest for a while, and said that he was scared when he saw you at this moment, and it was so easy to go down and hurry up!"
After Rong Sleeping Crane heard this, he felt that he might be a little anxious in his heart, so that he had no time to disguise.
He was not anxious about anything else at this time, it was the matter of Sheng Weiqiao being in northern Xinjiang. He didn't mention things like prophecies, and his wife's pregnancy was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't easily come back to him.
As Meng Guiyu said, his growth environment is destined to be able to reach this day step by step, and his temperament is inevitably suspicious. Especially at this time, the government and the opposition are not very peaceful, and an important person like Sheng Weiqiao, according to Rong Sleeping Crane's temper, he can't rest assured that he will be handed over to anyone to take care of, and he must be put by his side to watch it personally.
However, Le Yangwen and others think that there is no need to restrain such a temperament: "The king of the county is young, even if he has achievements along the way, in the eyes of those who judge people by appearance and seniority, there are doubts after all. However, being young has the advantage of being young, that is, it is like a rising sun, and hope is infinite...... What I want is this indomitable momentum!"
So Rong Sleeping Crane didn't deliberately hide his edge, at this moment, he took the water bag handed over by the guard, opened it and drank a few sips, squinted his eyes, the cold air overflowed, and said lightly: "That's good, we have more things to do at this time, who has the kung fu to deal with his toss all day long? Obediently show his hole cards, use Lao Tzu as a guise to weaken Meng Shi as a bait, and then turn around and roll off the stage honestly, whether you die or live, you don't need Lao Tzu to worry about it...... can come in handy for these things, and it is not in vain those 'fathers' that Lao Tzu shouted in front of him!"
Le Yangwen smiled and said: "The king of the county is decisive, and we will be relieved." ”
He hesitated, looked around, and finally asked tentatively, "There's something I don't know about below, but I don't know if it will offend the king of the county if I say it?"
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt. Rong Sleeping Crane glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Sir, I want to ask, is there anyone in the forbidden army?"
Le Yangwen praised: "The king of the county is really insightful! Yes, I heard that in order to insert people into the forbidden army, the king of the county did not hesitate to put Meng Guiyu, the son of the fourth room of the Meng family, to the position of general Zuo Weiwei, even if he knew that Meng Guiyu and his brother Meng Guihan were sowing discord in front of the Shu sisters and were ambitious, but because they never expelled the righteous brother of the county king and others from the forbidden army, they have been enduring it...... I feel strange below, isn't there any other person in the forbidden army who is the king of the county?"
"It's strange to say it. Rong Sleepy Crane groaned for a while, motioned for him to walk a few steps towards the place where there was no one next to him, and then said in a low voice, "The dark records in the roster left by the teacher at the beginning can be described as dotted all over the place, up and down the government and the opposition, in the streets and alleys, the three major border armies and coastal sailors...... Even if the position may not be important, and it may not be reliable for many years, the teacher may not serve me, but at least it is recorded in the roster!"
"The problem is that only the forbidden army has not said a word!"
"Even if they have stayed in the forbidden army until now, they have never received any secret letters, secret words, etc. ”
"Lone even wondered for a while, is it because the teacher has no manpower in the forbidden army?"
Le Yangwen was stunned and said, "This is impossible!"
"Lone also thinks it's impossible. Rong Sleeping Crane said, "Back then, the first emperor was almost looking for death and life, and he didn't want to stand today, so it was all thanks to the teacher's strategy and efforts to turn the tide, so that there is today." Now, he did not perform well before ascending the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he only cheered up for a few days before he became addicted to alcohol, where did he come from the ability to win more than half of the hearts of the people in the forbidden army? In the final analysis, it is all thanks to the teacher's merits! Therefore, if the teacher had no one in the forbidden army, with the men and horses mobilized by King Gaomi, he would have killed Jinshang himself as the emperor a long time ago, how could there be all these decades of ups and downs?"
"Is it left to the Huan family?" Le Yangwen pondered for a while and said, "In fact, the reason why King Gaomi and the Meng family have treated the Huan family with courtesy over the years, and let their respective children pursue the county lord of Jingshu, is not only to fancy the reputation left by Duke Huan, but also to fight the means that Duke Huan used to protect his ascension to the throne today. ”
Rong Sleeping Crane said: "Lone once borrowed the Five Festival Banquet to test, that is, the time when it was held in Shanglin Garden, didn't the concubine fall from the building boat and fall off the deck, so that she was seriously injured on the spot, Your Majesty and Zhaoyi were furious about this, and almost wanted to kill Ouyang Arc, the former commander of the Chunbo Lake Water Division? ”
He frowned, "In this way, the teacher does have a legacy for the Huan family." However, Gu still felt very strange, because the county lord of Jingshu was between King Gaomi and the Meng clan, and if he had been separated for many years, he had never had a choice!"
"It's really weird. Le Yangwen said puzzledly, "If the Huan family has the right and left forbidden armies, even if it is the strength of most of the forbidden armies, it will be enough to overturn the situation of confrontation between the two armies that has lasted for decades." And the purpose of the Huan family's public over the years is to seek justice for the Huan family! When King Gaomi and the Meng family wanted to win them over before, they secretly agreed to this condition and swore that they would hand over the Shu sisters to the Huan family for disposal, and it was unlikely that they would break their promise, so why did they still remain neutral and not choose?"
"Could it be that they are also like the Meng clan, and they plan to replace the Rong clan?!"
"The Meng family is a relative, and the Queen Mother is still there, their Huan family doesn't even have a mother, even if the forbidden army is all in hand, it is not the enemy of the border army...... If you think like that, it's whimsical!"
"The Huan family's approach is not reasonable, and it doesn't make sense for Duke Huan to leave Ouyang Arc and the like to the family!"
"Where is the right place for you to give these manpower to the Huan family?"
"Even if you need the Huan family's help to maintain the relationship...... After the king of the county got in touch with the Huan family, did he ever ask the Huan family for someone?"
Rong Sleeping Crane snorted: "The hints have been expressed, but the county lord Jingshu has always pretended to be confused. With such an attitude, Lone couldn't bear the reliability of the manpower that she was forced to hand over, thinking that she had the team of Tortoiseshell Island on her left and right, and when she came to Western Xinjiang, she had the help of her brothers from the Jishan battalion, and the forbidden army would be dispensable. ”
That being said, no matter how powerful the Wuyi Battalion and the Jishan Battalion are, in the end they are not as dangerous as the position of the forbidden army stationed in Shanglin Yuan, how can normal people be willing to give up?
Le Yangwen didn't know that Rong Sleeping Crane didn't fully trust Huan Guanlan, the teacher, and for the legacy left by Huan Guanlan, he always had a picky and selective attitude of never forcing it, and he secretly thought when he heard the words: "It seems that the king of the county is thinking of the cultivation kindness of Duke Huan, and he can't bear to put too much pressure on the Huan family! The problem is ...... Why is the Huan family reluctant to give it to people? They have been torn between King Gaomi and the Meng family for many years, but they don't plan to choose the king of the county, what are they talking about?!"
Could it be, the brave and loyal only want Emperor Xuanjing to be well?
"But even if those people weren't handed over to Lone, it wouldn't be anything. Rong Sleeping Crane said, "Since the Huan family has not chosen King Gaomi all these years, Bacheng will not give him the opportunity to usurp the throne at this time, and it is equivalent to doing things for Lonely." ”
"It's that the three brothers of Zheng Hou are cunning and cunning, I don't know if they can succeed smoothly?" Le Yangwen thought for a while when he heard this, and said, "King Gaomi obviously forced the palace to commit a crime, how can those three not die?"
Rong Sleeping Crane said: "I may not be sure, but the princess of the county is messing around, and she actually sent Ah Xi over!"
He frowned when he said this, and then continued, "This kind of thing, Ah Xi caught up, and he would do it anyway." I know what he's capable of, and the probability of success is high!"
He also said, "It doesn't matter if Ah Xi misses, Gu has always kept Meng Guiyu's brothers, and when he sent people over this time, he also asked them to tell Ge Zhongpeng in the palace that they must pay attention to Meng Guiyu's brothers...... Isn't it just for them to mend the knife to Meng in time?"
Although Meng Guiyu and Meng Guihan and Zheng Hou are blood relatives, they are estranged.
In the face of a series of things that Meng Guiyu did earlier under the coercion of Rong Sleeping Crane and later driven by hatred, he didn't kill Zheng Hou and those people, and he felt uneasy!
Therefore, if King Gaomi fails to force the palace this time, Meng Guiyu is afraid that he wants Zheng Hou to die more than anyone else!
Otherwise, after King Gaomi was ruined and became a stepping stone for the further growth of the Meng Clan, even if Zheng Hou and the others had no intention of cleaning up the portal at this time, Rong Sleeping Crane only needed to shake the matter and evidence about Meng Gui Yukeng's Meng Clan outward, which was enough for them to be wiped out in the four rooms!
For this reason, Rong Sleeping Crane did not let the envoy tell Meng Guiyu in particular, and he also believed that Meng Guiyu did not need to be specially told by himself.
"Meng Guiyu's brothers' family background is even weaker than ours, so they may not be able to send masters to assassinate Zheng Hou and the others while they are in chaos, but it is not impossible to take advantage of the fire to rob and devour the Meng family's foundation, plunder power, kill and maim several peers or juniors, in-laws, etc. Rong Sleeping Crane said lightly, "This is the opportunity for Gu to prepare for him to rise, I hope he won't let Gu down!"
When Le Yangwen heard this, he frowned, and finally asked: "King of the county, Meng Guiyu is not a good type, aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"
"Lone once fought an adult tiger with his bare hands in the mountains and forests, let alone Meng Guiyu?" Rong Sleeping Crane said contemptuously, "And how can Lone's advantage be so easy to take advantage of? Now that he has been strengthened by Lone's grace, he will naturally have a time to return it one day!"
He didn't tell Le Yangwen how to let Meng Guiyu repay his debts, but said, "Although the training method provided by General Cao Lao is detailed, but when you look at it alone, it is not as good as what Mr. sent two days ago...... Since Mr. has such great talent, now a veritable elite cavalry is a necessity for us in western Xinjiang, why don't we put aside the government affairs at hand and improve the training strategy first?"
