Looking at the young man sitting in front of him who was personally sent back by his son, Liu Xinda couldn't believe his eyes.

Because this person is the second son of Hunan Observation Envoy Ding Taiyi, Ding Hao. And this guy is the general of the garrison in Zhuzhou that he is about to fight.

He was about to fight Zhuzhou and threaten Xiangtan, and such a person suddenly appeared in front of him, and he felt that it was really a bit ridiculous.

Could it be that this kid really thinks that he has a three-inch tongue, and let him give up this battle plan by letting his tongue shine with lotus flowers?

"What can't I tell Buvu?" Liu Xinda said: "Do you want to see me? ”

Ding Sheng, Ding Hao brothers, and Liu Xinda have all seen each other. Compared with Ding Sheng, Ding Hao is like an invisible person above the Hunan boundary. His appearance is not good, the short man is matched with a baby face, no matter how you look at it, he does not have the majesty that a superior person should have, and when he speaks, he has a smile on his face, and his two eyes are narrowed into crescent moons.

However, Ding Sheng, who has the appearance of Ding Taiyi, has always been recognized as the successor of the Hunan Observer.

And Ding Hao, although he also served in the army, in Liu Xinda's opinion, if it weren't for a good old man, a person like Ding Hao would be afraid that it would be difficult to get ahead.

"Because this matter is very important, even Brother Buwu, I don't dare to reveal half of it." Ding Hao's mysterious appearance made Liu Xinda a little annoyed, if Ding Sheng told him such a thing, he would treat it very carefully, but Ding Hao, in Liu Xinda's opinion, is just pretending to be mysterious.

Knowing that he was invincible, he played some tricks to deceive himself into not fighting Zhuzhou?

Are you kidding? Do you think this is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Any three inches of tongue can change the overall situation?

"Then you can say it now." Liu Xinda said meaningfully, ready to drive him away after listening to this kid's nonsense. Although he wants to fight Zhuzhou, Ding Hao is Ding Taiyi's son after all, and there is no need to kill him, and he doesn't want to fight Ding Taiyi endlessly, but just to serve the strategy of the Northern Tang Dynasty people and get a little money. Ding Hao is no longer liked by Ding Taiyi, he is also someone's own son, if he is really going to die, it will become a blood feud.

Not necessarily.

Ding Hao's eyes fell on several pro-soldiers around Liu Xinda and Liu Buwu, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious.

Liu Xinda was furious: "General Ding, if you have something to say, if you don't say it, I will ask you to leave." ”

Ding Hao straightened up, but a pair of small eyes on his round face were round: "General Liu, I told you, this is an extremely important matter, I can only tell you." You're a veteran of a hundred battles, so you're not worried that I'll be able to assassinate you, are you? Besides, when I came in, I had already been thoroughly searched by Brother Buwu, and I almost took off my underwear! ”

Liu Xinda stared at the other party for a long time, his curiosity was really aroused, when it came to assassination, it was not that he underestimated Ding Hao, if this kid really dared to pay such attention, he must be the one who died.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Xinda motioned for Liu Buwu and the others to go out.

Only Liu Xinda and Ding Hao were left in the room.

"Now, you can say it, right?" Liu Xinda said: "If you entertain the old man, do you know the consequences?" ”

Ding Hao nodded and said, "General Liu, from the trajectory of your actions in Jiangxi, we have long judged that you are going to fight Zhuzhou, in fact, it is not that you want to fight, but someone wants to force you to fight, yes or no?" ”

Liu Xinda didn't make a sound, such a thing is a bit embarrassing to say.

"Our main force in Hunan is now being dragged by Shi Zhuang on the front line of Yiyang and cannot move, which is also the confidence of General Liu to have the confidence to fight our idea, but if I tell you, now in Zhuzhou, there is already an elite army that is not inferior to my main force in Hunan, do you believe it?" Ding Hao said.

Liu Xinda smiled: "If you are willing to say so, I am also willing to believe it." ”

Ding Hao smiled to himself and said: "I know that General Liu looks down on Ding, Ding is above the Hunan realm, and he has always been an important person, but often, sometimes, such a person can do a lot of unexpected things." ”

Looking at the other party's appearance, Liu Xinda was a little inexplicably vigilant in his heart, and the current Ding Hao seemed to be out of step with a second-generation official who didn't learn or relied on his father.

"There is no army in Zhuzhou City. It's just a bluff. Our army was hiding near Zhuzhou, and Liu Chen's troops were busy robbing, but they didn't find these clues. He didn't see our army out of the city, so he thought we were all hiding in the city! Ding Hao said.

"What do you mean by telling me?" Liu Xinda's heart sank, and he couldn't help but scold Liu Chen in the bottom of his heart, is this bastard eating dry rice?

"Because these people are not for General Liu, but for the Tang Army." Ding Hao said in a deep voice: "General Liu came to Zhuzhou, just a passerby, but the Tang army wanted to occupy the dove's nest, and when he came, he wouldn't leave." ”

"You want to fight the Tang Army?" Liu Xinda shook his head: "With all due respect, you are not their opponent, behind me is Ren Xiaonian, and his subordinate generals Qin Kuan, Liu Yuan and others are all fierce generals." ”

"On my own, naturally not." Ding Hao smiled: "But what if General Liu is added?" ”

Liu Xinda smiled: "If I had to choose, I would still choose to fight with you." ”

Ding Hao shook his head, looked at Liu Xinda and said, "It seems that General Liu has been fighting with the Tang Army for many years, and he has been beaten by the other party so much that he has no heart at all. ”

"The lesser of two evils." Liu Xinda said: "I just made a right choice. ”

Ding Hao nodded: "General Liu, don't you hate the Tang people?" You just don't want to get revenge all at once? ”

These words made Liu Xinda silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he smile at himself: "Hate, how can you not hate?" But what's the use of hate? Hate doesn't need much capital, but revenge is based on strength, and if you can't reach it, if you want to retaliate against others, what role can it play in addition to taking humiliation on yourself and being more humiliating? ”

"So you choose to bear the burden!" Ding Hao said with a smile: "If there is a chance for you to take revenge on the person you hate in your heart, and it doesn't cost you much, and afterwards, you go away, but the other party can't reach it, and can only watch you live a free life, will you do it?" ”

"There is such a good thing in the world!" Liu Xinda laughed loudly: "General Ding, how can I believe such a thing when you say it?" I might as well believe that as soon as I went out, a pie hit me in the head. ”

"Anything is possible!" Ding Hao said solemnly: "It just depends on whether we are doing this seriously, General Liu has not worked hard in this regard, so he naturally feels that there is no operability at all, but someone has been planning, and this matter has been carried out for seven or eight years." ”

Liu Xinda stared at the other party and said, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Ding Hao smiled and said again: "General Liu, if you are willing to participate in this matter, then after the matter is completed, you leave this land and go to the place you yearn for, and no one will stop you along the way, and wherever you pass, you will be presented with gold and silver, grain and grass with both hands, so that you will not need to spend a soldier to arrive safely, what do you think?" ”

"Are you giving me a lecture book?" Liu Xinda said coldly.

Ding Hao shook his head, took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Liu Xinda: "This is a letter to General Xiang Zhen to you." ”

Liu Xinda pressed his hand on the letter, but his eyes fell on Ding Hao.

Xiang Zhen, it can be said that he was pitted hard, in a big battle between Eyue and the Tang Army, it was he and Shi Zhuang who reached a tacit understanding, Liu Xinda withdrew, so that Xiang Zhen fell into Shi Zhuang's encirclement on all sides, and finally Xiang Zhen's painstaking army was wiped out by Shi Zhuang and Li Yu's coalition army in Eyue.

I'm afraid that in Xiang Zhen's heart, hating Liu Xinda's mind is much more violent than hating Tang Jun's mind.

After all, the Northern Tang people are enemies, and it is acceptable for the enemy to use any means.

But being betrayed by one's own people is the most uncomfortable feeling.

"Tell the general that he still wants to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin in his heart, but if you know the general situation and the overall situation, and are willing to join forces with us to do this thing, then he assures you that you will not be hindered all the way south from here." Ding Hao said word by word: "From now on, I will never see you again, and it can be regarded as a clear grievance, and each has nothing to do with it." ”

Liu Xinda did not rush to open the letter, but asked rhetorically: "Xiang Zhen, a down-and-out Lingnan general, why did he give me such a promise, why would the festivals in Guangxi and Yunnan listen to him?" ”

"Because the Jiedu envoys in Guangxi and Yunnan are now in Guangzhou, and it is impossible for them to go back." Ding Hao smiled and said, "They will hold important positions in the Guangzhou Imperial Court." ”

Liu Xinda's face was full of incredulity.

"What do you say? Do you mean that Xiang Zhen has now taken control of the Guangzhou court? What about Xiang Xun? ”

Ding Hao smiled and said: "Xiang Dashuai is too old, he is old, he has to be a little sick, if he is not careful, it is too common to have a stroke or something." ”

is a simple sentence, but I am afraid that it is full of blood and violence. Liu Xinda tried his best to make his breathing smoother, so as not to let Ding Hao see his heart ups and downs at the moment.

"So, your old man, can't come back?"

"Tell the general that my father will serve as a servant in the Guangzhou court, and at the same time be crowned a prince." Ding Hao said.

"Even if your father doesn't return, why do you get past your brother to call the shots?"

"My brother is a filial son, so over the years, whether in the army or in the civilian group, the people who are in power are a group of old people at my father's time! Over the years, I have been very respectful and filial to these people. Ding Hao said: "When my father sent a letter, most of the problems were solved, and I will be more sure if I fight a beautiful battle in Zhuzhou." ”
