Wang Rong frowned and said, "Li of that Zhou State was insatiable, and he wanted a fat sheep and a strong cow. The cattle and sheep have been given, and we want grain, grass and war horses, let's go and beg him now, I don't know how high the conditions will be? ”

The Hanlin scholar of the Goryeo Kingdom rolled his eyes, and said to Wang Zhao: "King, why don't you summon Xu Fenglai, the waiter of Guangping, to ask?" ”

Shuangji is a typical Han person, who was originally the Wusheng Army Inspector of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the general Shilang, and the Dali Judge.

In the third year of the Great Zhou Xiande, Shuangji followed the canonization envoy Han Wen sent by Chai Rong to meet Kaijing and canonize Wang Zhao as the king of Goryeo.

Later, due to a serious illness, Shuangji stayed in Goryeo and was appreciated by Wang Zhao.

In just one year, Shuangji was promoted by Wang Zhao to the rank of Hanlin Bachelor, and served as Zhigongju, presiding over the first imperial examination of Goryeo.

Wang Zhao was also so anxious that he had no idea, so he had to return Xu Fenglai, who had been thinking about it behind closed doors, and then found him in the palace.

Xu Fenglai had already learned the bad news of the civil uprising in Guangzhou, and when he saw Wang Zhao asking him, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Although Li of the Zhou State is greedy, he will return to the Zhou Kingdom sooner or later as long as he has money, cattle, sheep, war horses and other things." ”

Last time, Xu Fenglai just relayed Li Zhongyi's request for a war horse, and was ordered to go home by the angry Wang Zhao to think about it.

This time, Xu Fenglai learned to be obedient, but he was vague, went around in circles, and never gave an accurate answer.

Xu Fenglai didn't mean it explicitly, but it was actually very clear: whether it was the mob in Guangzhou, or the traitor Pu Jinjian in the east, or the thieves from the south, what they wanted to do was to swallow Goryeo in one gulp.

Although Li Zhongyi was very greedy, he dared to extort an extremely rare war horse. Exceptionally hateful indeed. However, this Li is a courtier of Da Zhou, and sooner or later he will have to go back to Da Zhou.

Two evils, no, three evils. Take the lighter, although Xu Fenglai did not say it explicitly, the meaning is that Wang Zhao agreed to Li Zhongyi's conditions, and borrowed Zhou soldiers to help suppress it, which is the best policy.

Wang Zhao was very displeased, and glared at Xu Fenglai coldly. I can't wait to slaughter this old boy on the spot.

Shuangji understood Xu Fenglai's difficulties very well, so he smiled and relieved the siege for him, "King, why don't you gather all the slaves of the Xungui family and assist the officers and soldiers in charge of the guard department to defend the city?" ”

Xu Fenglai secretly glanced at Shuangji. He thought to himself, this Han man surnamed Shuang is really cunning. This pair of Ji knew that the private soldiers of the nobles were their lifeblood, but they took the initiative to bring it up, obviously wanting to help Wang Zhao take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take power.

The important ministers present were all human spirits, and they glared at Shuangji viciously. Hate him to the bone marrow.

These people can't discuss the right thing, but they are one set of conspiracies to seize power, and everyone unanimously complains loudly. "The slaves are useless, please ask the king to ask the Zhou army to send troops to help suppress them."

It was difficult to disobey the will of the people, Wang Zhao glanced at Shuangji gratefully, but he had to ask Xu Fenglai helplessly, "Xu Qing, how many war horses do you think Li of the Zhou Kingdom needs?" Are you willing to send troops to help suppress? ”

How dare Xu Fenglai take this stubble? He squeaked for a long time, and couldn't say half a word.

Wang Zhao was half dead of anger. I can't wait to smash Xu Fenglai's ass, but. When employing people, he was helpless.

Seeing that Wang Zhao was out of options, Shuangji planned to share his worries for the Lord, so he took the initiative to come forward and asked Xu Fenglai for Wang Zhao, "Xu Shilang, since Li's appetite is very big, why don't you limit it to fifty good horses?" ”

Xu Fenglai is an old bureaucrat, he knows that Shuangji is deliberately setting him up, how can fifty horses satisfy Li Zhongyi's appetite that can devour a qiē?

"I don't know." Xu Fenglai was also simply, pushing two six five, pretending that no one was fine.

For a time, a heavy deadlock was formed in the court of Goryeo.

At this moment, Kuaima suddenly came to report that the Japanese army had broken through Quanzhou, the capital of Jiangnan Province, and the 2O leaders and Jingyong (Ma Army) 6 leaders of the left and right guards, and the 3O leaders of the local army in Jiangnan Province were completely defeated.

The Goryeo military system, with about 1ooo people in one collar, is equivalent to the strength of two commanders of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army.

The monarchs and ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom immediately felt that the sky was about to fall, although there were still 50,000 elites in the Guangjun Division in the north. However, due to the threat of the Khitans and Jurchens, the Goryeo monarchs did not dare to transfer without authorization.

When the matter came, the courtiers could pretend to be stupid, and it was Wang Zhao's to go to the country, so he had to secretly tighten his teeth, and said to Xu Feng: "Xu Qing, you are more familiar with Li, sue Li, and give him 500 black water horses." ”

Xu Fenglai was worried about settling accounts after the district, so he had a long look and asked cautiously: "What if Li is unwilling?" ”

"Smack!" Wang Zhaomeng slapped the table, just wanted to be angry, but thought of the chaos of the rout, so he had to say weakly, "A thousand horses, no more." ”

Xu Fenglai knew in his heart that the two armies and six guards of the entire Goryeo Kingdom were only more than 10,000 war horses, and Wang Zhao had indeed invested enough.

So, Xu Fenglai came to Zhenzhou to find Li Zhongyi with Wang Zhao's will.

After Xu Fenglai met Fu Zhaoxin, he bluntly said that he wanted to see Li Zhongyi on the sickbed and discuss important matters. Fu Zhao also understood in his confidence that this Xu should have seen it, and in the Goryeo camp, it was Li Zhongyi who really had the final say.

Fu Zhaoxin was not angry, so he led Xu Feng to see Li Zhongyi, who was still lying on the couch "recuperating." ”

Xu Fenglai saw Li Zhongyi, and he didn't care about being polite, and said bluntly: "Li Shuai, the king of my family remembered the hard work of your army all the way, and decided to give three hundred good horses to make a strong appearance. ”

In the past few days, Li Zhongyi has long learned from the mouths of Gao Gaoxiong and Li Anguo that the elite courage of Goryeo, that is, the Ma Army, totals more than 10,000 people.

Gao Gao Xiong and Li Anguo slipped out of the camp gate, drank wine and ate meat, although Li Zhongyi pretended to be confused, he also ordered someone to hint at them to find out the details of Goryeo.

In the second ya, young and golden, and very generous, there are banquets every day in Zhenzhou City and outside the city.

Because they were the generals of friendly armies, ordinary Koreans did not deliberately guard against them, either you invited me, or I invited you, and they came and went, but they also "inadvertently" inquired about a lot of information about the Goryeo army.

"Alas, Duke Xu, he became like this when he was sick, which really dragged down the army." Li Zhongyi secretly sneered in his heart, with only three hundred horses, he wanted to beat Lao Tzu. Is Lao Tzu a flower who asks for food?

"Li Shuai, there are few people in the country, the land is narrow, and the finances of the imperial court are empty, so I really can't take out too many war horses." Xu Fenglai felt that Li Zhongyi closed his eyes tightly, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly turned around and said, "However, the gentry of the contempt country have deep admiration for the righteous deeds of your army, and they may gain something by going down to contact them." ”

Who Li Zhongyi is, he guessed it as soon as he heard it. Xu Fenglai's hole cards are definitely far more than three hundred horses.

"Alas, Gong Xu, it's not that he refuses to contribute, it's just that this body is bones. It's really weak! "Li Zhongyi used his health to talk about things, and Xu Fenglai didn't have any tricks at all.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, Xu Fenglai has dealt with Li Zhongyi many times, and he knows that this person is extremely cunning, and the ordinary bargaining method will definitely not work.

"Li Shuai, even if the lower official sold his wife and children at home. At most, I can only make up a thousand good horses, and I can't do more. Xu Fenglai gritted his teeth and simply had a showdown, but Li Zhongyi refused to agree. He can't really take out his own money and buy a horse for Zhou Jun, right?

Li Zhongyi secretly estimated that the Goryeo people took out about one-tenth of the good horses in one go, and with the stick country's always stubborn temperament, "sincerity" is obviously enough.

However, Li Zhongyi is also behind Xu Fenglai's refreshment. I saw a flaw. Hehe, if it's not for the tight front. Forced to be anxious, is the stick congress so happy?

"Alas. Lao Xu, the way you are about to cry, I feel uncomfortable when I look at it. Li Zhongyi sighed faintly and said, "For the sake of your friendship with me, Ben Shuai is reluctant to make it difficult." ”

Xu Fenglai was relieved to see Li Zhongyi, and his heart was overjoyed, he finally completed the task assigned by the king.

The overall situation has been decided, but Li Zhongyi, in the spirit of chasing the poor with Yu Yong, vowed to take advantage of the advantage, and he put forward a supplementary request, "Fifty stallions, half of which cannot be missing." ”

Xu Fenglai wanted to refuse, but Li Zhongyi's attitude was extremely resolute, and there was no room for bargaining.

Li Zhongyi's request, within the range of the thousand war horses, Xu Fenglai had to bite the bullet and return to the palace to resume his life.

Wang Zhao scolded and scolded Xu Fenglai, and in the end, he was reluctant and agreed to Li Zhongyi's blackmail.

When Xu Fenglai came out of the palace and went to pick a horse, he called a nest fire in his heart, who did Lao Tzu provoke? Isn't it just a trip to the Zhou Kingdom, but he brought back a living ancestor, and he really fucking poured eighteen generations of blood mold!

Hearing that Xu Fenglai had brought a thousand good horses into the camp, among them, there were really fifty good stallions, Li Zhongyi laughed, jumped up from the couch, and did not pretend to be sick.

"Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals." Li Zhongyi ordered a meeting while changing his clothes.

After all the generals arrived, Li Zhongyi called Xu Fenglai into the big tent and asked him to introduce the current battle situation to everyone.

The military situation is urgent, and the national fortune is at stake, this time, Xu Fenglai did not dare to hide it in the slightest, so he told everything about the domestic life in Goryeo.

Fu Zhaoxin blinked and asked Xu Fenglai: "Duke Xu, in this way, your country is now in a dangerous situation?" ”

Xu Fenglai nodded a little embarrassedly, sighed and said, "Originally...... Who knew that the Diao people actually gathered to make trouble at this juncture? ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, behind Xu Fenglai's original words, it should be that the plan has not changed quickly, right?

Yang Lie's heart was very careful, so he took the initiative to ask Xu Fenglai for the official battle report of the Goryeo Kingdom, Xu Fenglai was worried about mistakes, and really brought a batch of the latest emergency war reports.

After reading the battle report, Yang Lie said with a smile: "It turned out that it was a rebellion, and it was only more than 100 miles away from Kaijing. ”

After listening to Yang Lie's explanation, all the generals understood one thing in their hearts, the reason why the Koreans wanted to send a thousand horses was because the situation was out of control.

Liu Heyang deliberately stood up and sang the opposite, he arched his hand at Li Zhongyi and said: "Xiangshuai, our army is only 20,000, but the chaotic army has more than 100,000, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the enemy." ”

When Xu Fenglai heard this, he was really anxious, so many horses were sent, in case Li Zhongyi repented halfway, it would be strange for him not to be torn apart by Wang Zhao when he went back.

"Li Shuai, let's discuss it, you must not regret it, just treat it as a poor villain." Xu Fenglai knew that Li Zhongyi was very difficult, and if you wanted to go around in circles with him, he could go around you into the deepest part of the Black Water Ocean, so he had to beg for mercy.

Xu Fenglai's life and death have nothing to do with Li Zhongyi, what he thinks about is how to further and more effectively squeeze out the treasury of Goryeo. (To be continued)
