When Xiang Zhen walked into the post house where Sheng Zhonghuai lived, he was surprised to find that Sheng Zhonghuai was sitting on the edge of the table waiting for him, and on the table, seven or eight dishes were still steaming.

"Sheng Changshi knows that I'm coming, so I have time to prepare?" Xiang Zhen walked directly to the table, sat down, looked at the wine glass in front of him, picked it up, and drank it cleanly with a tilt of his neck.

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said: "If you want to come to the general to clean up the situation, it will be almost dawn, and then you must go to Fujian to observe the envoy Rong Hongrong, and then, most of them will come to me, so I prepared the wine and food first, and I didn't expect it to really let me guess." ”

"It is said that Sheng Zhonghuai is a masterpiece of a generation, but it is not true." Xiang Zhen nodded. "If Zhu Youzhen weren't for you, it's hard to say whether he would be able to enter Yizhou, let alone tidy up Yizhou in a short period of time."

"I've won a prize to the general!" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Come, try this Yizhou cuisine." ”

Xiang Zhen didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks and ate, and said while eating: "After being busy all night, people turned over on their backs, and went to Rong Hong's place to fight wits and courage, and they didn't even drink saliva, and they were really hungry." It's still intimate, hahaha! ”

"I'm afraid you won't be used to eating Yizhou cuisine!" Sheng Zhonghuai looked at him gobbling up, but he couldn't hide the appreciation in his eyes.

"I have a cook at home who can cook Yizhou cuisine!" Xiang Zhen looked up at Sheng Zhonghuai and said, "Sheng Changshi, to be honest, your Yizhou cuisine is not very authentic. ”

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "The taste is a little worse, but the person who makes this dish is different, her name is Dai Shu!" ”

Xiang Zhen was stunned, stopped his chopsticks, and said: "I know that the former queen mother of Daliang has arrived in Guangzhou City, but I didn't expect her to be able to cook." ”

Sheng Zhonghuai laughed, "Come out, I said a long time ago, you came to Guangzhou City, and you can't hide it from General Xiang." ”

The door of the back hall rang softly, and Dai Shu came out in palace clothes, and bowed out.

Xiang Zhen stood up, arched his hands into fists, turned to look at Sheng Zhonghuai and said, "Sheng Changshi, if you don't say it, I will always treat it as if I don't know." ”

"If it was before, I would naturally cover my ears and steal the bell, but now that General Xiang has the overall situation, it is better to admit it, after all, we have to leave from your land." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "General, please do it, madam, you can sit too!" ”

Xiang Zhen looked at the two of them playfully, and then said, "Are you worried that I will detain Mrs. Zhu and his children to coerce you?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai nodded: "There are considerations in this regard. If the general wants to do great things, he must want to combine the forces of all aspects, Sheng did not dare to be arrogant, and was a little worried that the general would use their mother and son as bargaining chips. ”

Xiang Zhen laughed: "Sheng Changshi, if I really think so, will you change my mind because of your current confession?" ”

Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head: "General Xiang, I just want to tell you that you don't have to do this at all, because I appreciate you and absolutely support you with all your strength for what you want to do." The so-called heroes sympathize with each other, nothing more than that. ”

Xiang Zhen smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said: "You and I both suffered big losses under Li Ze, and if you lose again and again, you are about to lose so much that even your underwear is exposed." It's not about heroes sympathizing with each other, it's just that they need to huddle together to keep warm. Sheng Changshi said this, but I let go of most of my heart. It seems that our next conversation will be very pleasant. ”

"A few heroes have risen and fallen! As long as people are alive and still have some capital, there is no time to turn over! Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Why is General Xiang a little lacking in energy!" ”

"Of course I have the heart, otherwise, I washed my neck early, wouldn't it be more convenient to wait for Li Ze to cut it, why bother so hard! It's just that although he has the heart, he still can't help but lack confidence and feel uneasy. Xiang Zhen said: "Sheng Chang Shi Mo wants to tell me that you are confident that you can defeat the Northern Tang Dynasty, or think that King Liang can be safe and sound by relying on the natural danger of Yizhou." ”

"If the Southern Alliance is defeated, how can Yizhou survive alone?" Sheng Zhonghuai said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. ”

"That's exactly what happened!" Xiang Zhen clapped his hands and said: "King Liang is in Yizhou, for more than a year, the people have gradually stabilized, and the combat power of the army has increased greatly after the reorganization, and it is Xiang Mou's biggest help." I'm still thinking about how to convince Sheng Changshi? It seems that you don't have to bother with words, it's just Sheng Changshi, can you be the lord of King Liang? ”

"This is our own business, General Xiang doesn't have to worry." Sheng Zhonghuai said: "Now I just want to ask, is Xiang Dashuai okay?" ”

Xiang Zhen frowned slightly, took the chopsticks and pulled them a few times on the plate in front of him, and said, "My father drank too much wine last night, and he was attacked by the wind and cold, so he accidentally suffered a stroke, and he is already in danger." ”

"As it should be!" Sheng Zhonghuai didn't care, if Xiang Xun could still speak, it would surprise him, and at the same time, it would also make him put a big question mark on the cooperation with Xiang Zhen.

"Does Sheng Changshi feel ruthless to someone?" Facing such an understanding person, Xiang Zhen did not hide it, and said directly.

"To be honest, I didn't have much hope for this time. The more important thing is to send his wife out, as for the meeting with Xiang Dashuai, it is likely to be a false story. Because Xiang Dashuai and our Yizhou appeals are in the opposite direction, I don't want to highlight to the general, but it really makes me feel like I have two birds with one stone on this trip. It's worth it, it's worth it! ”

"The third child was originally going to send someone to respond to the story, but he was very dissatisfied with Brother Sheng having to come to see me off in person, thinking that Brother Sheng was making a big fuss, leaving behind the major affairs of Yizhou, and leaving at this time for the sake of me as a woman. Now it seems that Brother Sheng will return with a full load. Dai Shu on the side stood up and filled the wine glasses of the two.

Xiang Zhenxu got up as a salute, no matter what, Dai Shu is also a person who has been the queen's mother, no matter what happens now, this person's identity and status are also here.

"General Xiang, Xiang Jun is leading the troops, you still did this decisively, if my guess is correct, you should also have corresponding arrangements in Xiang Jun's army, and on the Jiangxi side, you should also have allies, right?" Sheng Zhonghuai asked.

"Not bad! When Qian Wenzhong arrived in Guangzhou City, the power of Jiangxi fell into the hands of Qian Wenxi and Qian Shouyi, but Qian Shouyi and I had the same interests and had already formed an alliance. When Xiang Jun arrives in Jiangxi, he doesn't have to come back, and the 10,000 imperial battalion troops he brought with him will also stay in Jiangxi. ”

"Over in Hunan?" Sheng Zhonghuai pinched the wine glass, thoughtful.

Xiang Zhen smiled slightly, but stopped making a sound.

Seeing this, Dai Shu smiled slightly, stood up, raised his wine glass, and said, "General Xiang, this time I borrowed your place to leave this land of right and wrong, and caused you trouble, Dai Shu toasted you with a glass of wine." ”

"Don't dare!" Xiang Zhen stood up, held the cup in both hands, bowed slightly, and drank it all.

Dai Shu also drank the wine in the cup, bowed to the two of them and said, "The two of you talk slowly." The children are so naughty that I have to take care of them. ”

"Madame, please!" Xiang Zhen reached out sideways.

Watching Dai Shu leave, Sheng Zhonghuai was a little displeased: "General Xiang doesn't have to avoid her. ”

"Not to avoid her!" Xiang Zhen shook his head and said: "After all, Mrs. Zhu is about to leave here, but the boat she is on is inextricably linked with the Northern Tang Dynasty, and no one knows how many internal guards of the Northern Tang Dynasty are on this ship?" These people may not have any interest in Mrs. Zhu, but they will definitely be interested in what Mrs. Zhu knows. The less Madame knows, the safer she will be, Sheng Changshi said, right? ”

"Not bad." Sheng Zhonghuai nodded and said, "It seems that you actually have an arrangement in Hunan, which really surprises me, it's hard to imagine how you did it." ”

"I've been obsessed for decades, and nothing else has been left behind, but I still have a lot of friends." Xiang Zhen is quiet.

"Ding Taiyi also went to the city of Guangzhou, his eldest son Ding Sheng, who has always won the trust of his father, and he also holds great power in Hunan, he cannot be your person. And if you want to do something, then you must not let Ding Taiyi go back, and you must overthrow Ding Sheng, and this person has no ambition in Hunan, but he must have a certain foundation, I guess, this person is Ding Taiyi's concubine, Ding Hao. ”

Xiang Zhen wordlessly gave Sheng Zhonghuai a thumbs up. He really couldn't imagine that he hadn't said anything yet, and the person in front of him had seen through most of his old bottom.

"Sheng Changshi, I won't tell you, don't think about going back to all the envoys who came to Guangzhou City this time, the Guangzhou Imperial Court will soon vacate a lot of important positions, which is enough to accommodate them." Xiang Zhen said: "If you can go back, you are the only one who has a long history." ”

"If King Liang comes, will you let him go back?" Sheng Zhonghuai asked with a smile.

"King Liang is different!" Xiang Zhen said: "If King Liang really comes, I will definitely send him back with respect." Compared with those old decay, King Liang still has an enterprising heart and a sense of revenge. ”

Sheng Zhonghuai smiled and said: "Since you have Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, plus Lingnan, in the Southern Alliance, you do already have overwhelming power, whoever dares to oppose you will have enough strength to pacify them first, so they can't be disobedient." Now that things have come to this point, I think that General Xiang will definitely do something that everyone expects to do in the future to stabilize your rule. ”

"Sheng Changshi might as well guess again!" Xiang Zhenxiao asked.

"The most effective way, of course, is to defeat the Tang Army face to face, so that everyone understands that the Tang Army is not invincible, but I really can't think of how to do it?" Sheng Zhonghuai shook his head and said.
