Chapter 115: A Shocking Word
Of course, Cao Xin knows who Gao Xiangsheng is, and he also knows who is behind Gao Xiangsheng. At this moment, he suddenly heard this name from Li Ze's mouth, and he immediately became alert.
"Does Li Gongzi know who this person is?" Cao Xin's speech was very slow, but his tone was unusually cold, and he had lost his previous kindness and casualness.
"Of course I do." Li Ze chuckled and said: "The prison guards are recording the matter of joining the army, behind it is the imperial court, and if you talk closer, it is Chen Bangzhao."
Cao Xin snorted: "Li Gongzi can be valued by Mr. Gongsun, and he is naturally a smart person, so you should know what this person's purpose is to find you, right?"
"Nature knows." Li Ze said disapprerovingly: "But someone rushed to send me officials and money to send people, Cao Gong, what reason do you think I don't want to?"
"Send officials, send money, send people?"
"Gong Cao, it won't be long before I am the general of the imperial court, this official hat is okay, right? Oh, by the way, and 500,000 yuan in money and supplies, and of course, 1,000 armor." Li Ze said with a smile. Gao Xiangsheng's handwriting is very large."
Cao's confidence was cold, why did Chengde unite with Henghai and Zhenwu to launch a war against Lu Long in advance, wasn't it just to keep the power of the imperial court out of Chengde? I thought that such a move would be enough to make those forces in the court die down, but I didn't expect that they would take a different path and directly find Chengde's weakness.
With the banner of the little boy, they can completely pull the tiger skin to make a big banner, and march into virtue in a grand manner, and become virtuous, and they will inevitably fall into civil strife.
"Does Gongzi Li know what this means?" Cao Xin didn't think that Li Ze didn't know about the other party's intentions, and it was obvious that the person in front of him was very clear about all this. Why else did he come to him? And put it all together? Naturally, he also saw the hidden danger here.
The purpose of his coming here is to win his own support.
"Gong Cao, for a person like me who is about to drown in a monstrous flood, if I can grasp a life-saving straw, I will naturally drag it and not let go, don't you say?" Li Zedao: "It's like a beggar who is about to starve to death, and when someone hands him a pie, will he first test whether the pie is poisonous?" Isn't he going to gobble it up right away?"
"Li Gongzi, don't change the concept secretly, it's not the same thing. Even if it's like you say, this beggar will die in the future." Cao Xin said coldly.
"But he can still live a little longer, maybe in this time, he can find an antidote? Isn't that another village?" Li Ze chuckled.
Cao Xin took a deep breath, and he decided to try hard again to persuade Li Ze.
"In this way, Li Gongzi will really become a public enemy of virtue, and everyone will be punished." Cao Xindao.
"The one who wants to punish me is probably a vested interest in Chengde like Cao Gong, as for others, not necessarily, right?" Li Zehe laughed: "For example, the people of Wuyi support me very much, like Yang Kaizheng is working hard for me!"
"Yang Kai is a fart!" Cao Xin rarely burst into a foul mouth.
Li Ze laughed, and it could be seen that Cao Xin was already a little messed up.
"Yang Kai's performance in Wuyi is still very good, at least, now he is much stronger than most of the officials under Cao Gong, he is obedient, has strong execution, and does things vigorously, which makes me very satisfied." He looked at Cao Xin teasingly, "Cao Gong must also know about the things since the spring sowing this year."
Cao Xin stopped talking, but looked at Li Ze quietly.
Li Ze also drank his tea slowly and kept his mouth shut.
The cup of tea was finally drunk, Li Ze put down the teacup, and Cao Xin also stood up.
Looking at Cao Xin, Li Ze said lightly: "Gong Cao, are you leaving?"
"There are a lot of things to set up and of course we have to go. Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Li Gongzi, you can do it yourself!" Cao Xin said coldly.
"Could it be that Cao Gong is going to go back and raise some men and horses, and then go to exterminate Wuyi?" Li Ze chuckled.
Cao Xin laughed: "Li Gongzi, do you think that now that I have five hundred armor soldiers in Yizhou, and thousands of soldiers from the government will go to Shenzhou, there will be no strength to deal with you, you are wrong. You can destroy hundreds of armor soldiers in Shenzhou in the Great Green Mountain, that is to be prepared in advance, set a trap, and hit the other party by surprise, right? If it is true that gongs against gongs, drums against drums, it is not known who will kill the deer, right?"
"Where is all this trouble?" Li Ze spread his hands and said: "I am now in Yizhou City, this is Cao Gong's territory, Cao Gong gave an order, arrested me and killed me, isn't there nothing wrong?"
Hearing this, Cao Xin turned around and sat back again.
"In any case, you are the son of the temperance envoy, and what you do with you must be made a word by the temperance envoy. Li Gongzi, it's not that I underestimate you, if the Jiedu envoy says that he wants to destroy you, with the thousands of men and horses in your hands, it won't take much effort for Cao to destroy him." Cao Xin sneered and said: "As for arresting you and killing you now, there is no need, since you dare to come, there are some arrangements for you to come, and since you dare to come, there will definitely be a way to get out."
Li Ze shook his head: "The more books you read, the more ideas you have, it's a very simple thing, but you just make it complicated, if you're a character like Suning, I'm afraid you'll pull out the knife now, right?" Cao Gong, I won't tell you, I dare to come to Yizhou, so naturally I am not afraid of you turning your face, but it is not my people in Wuyi, nor is it that I have any arrangements in Yizhou, to tell you the truth, I really don't."
Cao Xin's face was noncommittal.
"I dare to come to Yizhou because Chengde can't make a mess of him before I come, because he is about to mess up, and it is very likely to be out of control." LI Zedao.
"Alarmist, in Cao's view, Chengde is now an unstable factor for you. I shouldn't have allowed you to do whatever you wanted in Wuyi." Cao Xin said angrily, "I can't imagine that a piece of kindness has become your capital to threaten me today."
"What if Li Che is defeated this time?" Li Ze suddenly threw out a sentence.
The room fell silent.
"How is this possible?" After a while, it was Wang Mingyi, who had been nervous, who was the first to speak, "Our three-way army is going well, and it won't take many days to encircle Yingzhou City."
Li Ze glanced at him, picked up a section of rouge on the table, and sketched a map on the table, Cao Xin just glanced at it, and saw that this was the map of Yingzhou.
Li Xin made a few more strokes, and then outlined the deployment of troops on both sides.
He looked up at Cao Xin, "What I said is just my speculation, but now it seems that this speculation is getting closer and closer to the truth. Cao Gong, you are all old people in the military, what is it that blinds your eyes?"
Wang Mingyi came over and watched the military forces of the three parties slowly encircling Yingzhou City, but he really didn't see any problems.
Cao Xin stood at the table for a long time before he said, "As long as Zhenwu doesn't have a problem, then there is no problem."
"Why does Cao Gong think that Zhenwu is not a problem?" Li Ze asked rhetorically: "If something goes wrong with Zhenwu, Li Che will be in danger this time."
"Over the years, Zhenwu has been in constant conflict with Lu Long, they are not like us and Lu Long only have a small area of border, most of them rely on Lu Long, and the contradictions with Lu Long are very deep. If you want to say that they hate Lu Long, they are much deeper than us." Cao Xin looked at Li Ze with a sneer, "Li Gongzi created such a crisis just by imagining, and Cao also admires it very much."
Li Ze was unmoved, "From the very beginning, I had a pessimistic attitude towards this war. Zhang Zhongwu has been fighting for more than ten years, and you are all too comfortable. The strength that the three alliances of Chengdu and Germany can gather is no less than that of Hedong, why is Zhang Zhongwu unmoved? Could it be that he thinks you're all mud and paper? I don't believe he will not be arranged, let you take down Yingzhou. You must know that without Yingzhou, for Zhang Zhongwu, the strength will not be greatly affected, at most it will be a small defeat, but the impact on politics will be too great. Zhang Zhongwu, a person who wants to sit in the north and face the south, will not see this? Or maybe you Cao Gong thinks that Zhang Zhongwu is a straw bag. A man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind?"
Cao Xin froze suddenly. Zhang Zhongwu is certainly not a straw bale. On the contrary, he is a man with a great eye for both civil and military affairs.
But Zhang Zhongwu is determined to be determined by Gao Yu, which has to make people suspicious. Second, you said that Zhenwu has been in conflict with Lu Long, and the contradictions between the two sides are very deep, but judging from the information I have gathered, over the years, the conflicts between the two sides have been Zhenwu has suffered a big loss, so Cao Gong, is there such a possibility, Zhenwu has been scared by Lu Long, or Zhenwu has decided that even if the three alliances can't do Zhang Zhongwu, then it is better to join forces with Zhang Zhongwu and defect to him? You must know that if you are defeated, the most unlucky one must be Zhenwu, Henghai, Chengde still has strategic space to retreat, and he Zhenwu is unavoidable."
Cao Xin's face was slowly becoming solemn.
Li Ze pointed his finger on the red map and said: "Cao Gong is an expert, when you can see the distance in between, if there is an accident, how fatal it will be for Chengde's army?" The road behind is cut off, the food and grass are gone, and the destruction is a matter of an instant."
Cao Xin Huo Ran stood up and strode out.
"What are you going to do with Gong Cao? Does the fast horse notify the front? It's too late, the two of us saw the information from twenty days ago, if something really happened, I'm afraid it has happened now, if I were you, what we have to do now is not to find out what happened in front of me? It's about preparing for the aftermath."
Cao Xin glanced at Li Ze deeply. So what do you think should be done?"
"Of course, it is to gather the troops of Yizhou and quickly move in the direction of Shenzhou, if you can't hold Shenzhou, Zhang Zhongwu's troops will go south, and the first thing to take will not be Zhenzhou, but it must be your Yizhou, and then join forces with Zhenwu to attack the core of Chengde in a big way, don't forget, Zhang Zhongwu's men can mobilize a large number of Khitan cavalry.." Li Ze said slowly.
