Chapter 243

A few days later, Zhu Can got the news that Cui Xiong really didn't get a good result, and was imprisoned in the prison by Long Zihao, if it wasn't for the intercession of his old subordinates before, he would have been cut down a long time ago.

However, it is said that he was not sad at that time, nor did he beg for mercy, but laughed out loud, "Lao Tzu is not complaining even if he dies, what Zhu Can said is not wrong, you are just a prince with a small belly and chicken intestines." ”

It seemed to have calmed down for a while, Long Zihao was not sending an army to recruit Zhu Can, which also gave Zhu Can a lot of time to develop his strength, and Chaolong City became thriving, at this time, it can be said that the army is strong.

There are 200,000 regular troops and 100,000 chengguan, not counting the recruits who defend the city and the people who continue to join the ranks one after another.

With a reputation, there is no need to deliberately recruit soldiers, and people send them directly to the door themselves.

Xia has several rebellious forces, originally they just couldn't eat to make a rebellion, at this time heard that the general of Zhenguo was raising troops to fight against the faint king, all secretly brought people and horses to take refuge, which made Zhu Can's strength grow rapidly again, at this time he was already able to compete with the three kings, on an equal footing.

The three kings are also kind and pleasant, always communicating with each other, and no one wants to easily offend a person who is ready to attack and uses soldiers like gods.

Spring goes to autumn, and when it comes to the harvest season, Chaolong City has Zhu Can, a god general, and the lucky stars are shining, and a huge harvest has been obtained, but the food seems to be a little insufficient.

It's time to strike, more cities, more territory to follow the soldiers and feed them.

At this time, the reason for the conquest is actually very simple, now is the harvest season, it is the time when there is food, and the conquest can greatly increase one's own strength.

But just when Zhu Can was about to send troops, Long Zihao, the king of the south, suddenly sent a messenger, it was Li Shi, a minister, and the meaning of the full text was that he hoped that Zhu Can and the three kings could conclude an alliance with him to jointly crusade against the faint king Long Pengju and drive out the thieves of the enemy Yasukuni.

Of course, he mentioned something about the imperial power, whoever killed the faint monarch Long Pengju would support him as the emperor, and he Long Zihao was willing to give way to the capable person.

This thing seemed to be a little unexpected to Zhu Can, but he knew in his heart that Long Zihao was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to give up, what kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd?

Everyone in the court made a guess one by one, but in the end there was still no conclusion, but the alliance can be decided, after all, this is the right way, if you refuse, you will be laughed at by the world, sometimes the war is not blindly fought, it must be justified, and it is the road to raise the banner of righteousness.

However, when the envoy left, Zhu Can made a request, asking Long Zihao to release Cui Xiong and ensure that his family arrived safely in Chaolong City.

Ten days later, Long Zihao actually agreed to Zhu Can's request, and Zhu Can took Cui Xiong's hand all the way ten miles away from Chaolong City and walked back to Chaolong City.

Although he was the general of the defeated army, with Zhu Can by his side, everyone still cheered enthusiastically, and Cui Xiong was appointed as a general by Long Tengfei under Zhu Can's protection, and his status was second only to Zhu Can, ranking lower.

This made many people wonder, but Zhu Can trusted him so much, handed over the army of 100,000 recruits to him for training, and of course he also told Cui Xiong about his set of theories for free, which made Cui Xiong feel like he was suddenly opened, and he was even more grateful to Zhu Can.

Since then, there has been one more famous general in Chaolong City, and he is also a general who is known as a general on the Warring States Continent, like a tiger with wings.

Of course, many people are still very unconvinced of Cui Xiong, after all, he was the first enemy general, and he was also the general of the defeated army, which in the eyes of others was just Zhu Can promoting him.

But when Cui Xiong took the initiative to invite Ying, and took 100,000 recruits to capture the five cities of the Southern Longpeng Force, everyone began to admire the general, and the vigorous and resolute means, and the unchaotic arrangement of troops, so that everyone began to be sincerely convinced that the 100,000 recruit army has grown rapidly into a strong army in a short period of time, although the combat ability is not as good as the 200,000 army in Zhu Can's hands, but it should not be underestimated.

With these five cities, the strength of Zhu Can's side suddenly skyrocketed, and policies suitable for the people's hearts began to be implemented rapidly to appease the people.

Zhu Can's big move on this side made the Three Kings and the Southern King Long Zihao unwilling to be lonely, and they formed a trap on the Imperial Capital, constantly advancing from three directions, approaching the Imperial Capital.

"General Zhu Can, the men and horses of the Three Kings and the Southern King have already arrived in the Imperial Capital, why do you want to let Cui Xiong hold his troops still, don't you want to seize the Imperial Capital and kill Long Pengju, so that the emperor can win the world?"

Although Li Min's words seemed to be questioning Zhu Can, his tone was obviously not so domineering and powerful, and in the face of this guy, he felt weak from the bottom of his heart.

"How to use the army is not strong, Lord Li Min bother, you just need to do your own thing."

Zhu Can's disdainful white eyes Li Min turned his head to look to the side, as if he didn't give him any face.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu must have his own plans, so Master Li doesn't need to ask." Long Tengfei came forward to relieve the siege and spoke out, Li Min couldn't say too much, so he could only scold in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister is going to take 200,000 troops to join General Cui Xiong, when the time comes, the city will be empty, the minister is afraid of changes, although another 100,000 troops have been recruited during this time, but these personnel have not yet been trained, and the combat effectiveness is not enough, how about you go to Guangde City for temporary refuge?"

Zhu Can bowed down and said to Long Tengfei.

"Brother Zhu Can, you underestimate me, although I have no power to restrain the chicken, but I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, the army of the Southern King is attacking the imperial capital, and the soldiers and horses of the three kings are also hoarded under the imperial capital.

Long Tengfei replied with a slight smile.

"Since the emperor said so, the minister will lead the troops to the battle, and whether he can take down Long Pengju's head depends on the will of heaven."

Zhu Can and Long Tengfei at this moment between the original brotherly feeling slightly appeared a small crack, although Long Tengfei is a Ming Jun, the proper command of state affairs, but he is also a human being, he also wants to sit in the world, why Li Minming knows that he is a minister, but he has always kept it without killing, it is because he wants to have his own power, so as to contain Zhu Can.

Emperors need a balanced way, he has a subordinate who has a high merit, and he must cultivate a person who at least competes with him, which is why Long Tengfei finally let Li Min take over the affairs of the school, and arrange more people to be placed in various departments, and why Tang Yiyi, the prime minister, is so idle, it is because Long Tengfei knows that the relationship between the two is close, so he deliberately sets it up.

And such a sentence, although it seems unintentional, actually contains too many meanings, it is said to be casual, but in fact, it is the emperor's order, you Zhu Can must take down the head of Long Pengju for me, and I want to sit on the highest person in the world.

Everyone is selfish, or the original sentence, when starting a business, you can eat a steamed bun for two people, and you can share weal and woe, but when the great cause is achieved, the heart will begin to slowly separate, and they will part ways for their own interests.

Long Tengfei is not afraid, he is also afraid, it is precisely because he is a Ming monarch that he will not be willing to be a puppet emperor, he wants to use his talents to build a strong empire.

Although Zhu Can saw it through, he just smiled slightly, because he didn't care about this, as long as Long Tengfei was a Ming Jun, he would calm the world in the future, and he wouldn't want to be the general of Zhenguo, and Tang Yiyi wouldn't be any prime minister at that time, wouldn't it be wonderful for the two of them to stay and fly together.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a request for your approval." Tang Yiyi couldn't help but speak out when Zhu Can's words fell.

"Prime Minister, please speak." Long Tengfei nodded.

"The minister wants to go with General Zhu Can, just to appease the people and do what he can, Chaolong City is already stable, and there is no need for me to be here." Tang Yiyi said loudly.

"This...."

Zhu Can didn't reply, but looked at Tang Yiyi, and seeing the vicious and fierce eyes in her eyes, he swallowed back the words raw, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Long Tengfei saw that Zhu Can did not refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

So Tang Yiyi followed Zhu Can and led an army of 200,000 people slowly out of the south gate of Chaolong City.

The people of the farewell team were cheering, even Li Min and a group of Wenchen were cheering, without these two terrible guys, they could spread their wings and fly high like swallows in flight, and Long Tengfei also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the unhappiness in his heart finally grew out.

The army led by Zhu Can moved very slowly, and it didn't seem to be in a hurry to move forward, which made Tang Yiyi very puzzled and asked, "Aren't you in a hurry to take the imperial capital quickly?" ”

"I never thought about taking the imperial capital." Zhu Can smiled slightly.

"Then what are you sending troops for?" Tang Yiyi was very puzzled.

"Because I have to answer General Cui Xiong." Zhu Can smiled mysteriously, so that Tang Yiyi was stunned for a while and didn't speak, what else was he going to do?
