Chapter 614: Supervising the Central Plains (15)
However, Chongzhen's joy did not last long, and when he finished reading Liu Ximing's recital, he suddenly became gloomy again.
"What the hell is this Liu Ximing doing, he only won two small victories, and this time he will be allowed to buy land in Huguang, and he will say that the family is insufficient, it is simply presumptuous", Chongzhen angrily raised the fold in his hand, and fell on the royal case with a bang.
"Tell me, what does he mean by this, is this to be proud of his achievements, I can be regarded as seeing him clearly."
Wang Chengen looked up at Chongzhen cautiously, of course he knew why Chongzhen was so annoyed.
It turned out that Liu Ximing not only said about killing Zuo Liangyu in the melody, but also said in the recital that the army under Zuo Liangyu was unscrupulously looting everywhere in Huguang, so that the people were not able to make a living, and the fields were barren.
He Liu Ximing saw the pain in his eyes and heart, so many fertile fields were all uncultivated, thinking of the fact that he couldn't open the pot because of his poor family in Sichuan, so he wanted to ask Chongzhen to allow him to buy some fields in Huguang for family use.
Wang Chengen also couldn't understand why Liu Ximing mixed such a thing in the twists and turns, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble, with the new Anbo's personality, he shouldn't do this kind of thing.
After thinking about it carefully in his mind, Wang Chengen suddenly thought of a possibility.
He bowed down and looked at Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, does the old slave think that this is Xin Amber changing his way to show loyalty to the court?" ”
"Well, how do you say that", Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen inexplicably, "This initiative to ask for rewards can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, I see that you are old and confused." ”
Wang Chengen smiled, "The old slave is naturally not as good as the emperor, but the old slave remembers one thing, when Henkel went to fight Xiang Yu, why didn't Prime Minister Xiao also ask for land to defile himself?" The old slave estimated that this was because Xin Amber was worried that someone in the court was jealous of him and wanted to protect himself. ”
"Hahaha", Chongzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, Wang Chengen also remembered this allusion when he said this, and suddenly felt funny and angry in his heart.
"This bastard, what kind of person is he when he is me, do others have to suspect him if they say a few words, what a bastard."
Wang Chengen grinned and said: "Yes, Xin Anbo is really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, the emperor knows everything, where would he not know his careful thoughts, it's really ridiculous." ”
After laughing, Chongzhen only felt that he was open-minded, and he felt that he had seen through Liu Ximing's plan, but he was more relieved in his heart.
He immediately waved his hand generously and instructed Wang Chengen: "Anyway, the situation in the Central Plains is also difficult for Xinanbo, you draw up a note for him on my behalf, let him do things well, and I will do what he said." ”
Wang Chengen immediately smiled and said, "The slave will do it." ”
~~~
Kaifeng, Henan.
Li Zicheng, who was forced to withdraw from the army after being ordered by Liu Xi, finally met with Luo Rucai, but this time he had nothing to say to Luo Rucai.
If you want to say that the work is not reliable, he Li Zicheng himself with more than 200,000 people has not been able to curry favor from Liu Ximing, but now how to talk about Luo Rucai.
However, when the news came that Liu Xi ordered Zuo Liangyu to behead Zuo Liangyu and collect his army, a sense of eagerness rose in Li Zicheng's heart again.
He couldn't defeat Liu Ximing in the first place, but now he has gathered more than 100,000 troops, so what can he do in the future?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng hurriedly brought Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others to discuss countermeasures.
"Chuang Wang", in Li Zicheng's big tent, Niu Jinxing's triangular eye bones came up with an idea.
He looked at Li Zicheng with pity: "My subordinates think that the reason why our army can't defeat the officers and troops under Liu Ximing is mainly because the people are not aligned. ”
Li Zicheng thought about it in his heart, and he also felt this reason, and immediately asked eagerly: "What Mr. said is reasonable, so what do you think we should do?" ”
As soon as Niu Jinxing's words came out, Song Xian understood his plan as soon as he pondered.
Without waiting for Niu Jinxing to speak, Song Xiance, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, took the lead and smiled: "This matter is also easy to say, although Cao Cao has taken refuge in King Chuang, but after all, he still has his own camp, isn't this what Brother Juming said that the people's hearts are not aligned, you see ...... King Chuang?"
Speaking of which, how could Li Zicheng not understand the meaning of Niu Jinxing and others.
Glancing at Niu Jinxing, who was unhappy because of being robbed, Li Zicheng hesitated a little.
"This is not very good", Li Zicheng turned a circle in the tent with some confusion on his face, "Cao Cao was kind to me back then, and now he has come thousands of miles to vote, but I have received all his men and horses under my command, how can the soldiers be convinced by this?" ”
Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "Oh, King Chuang, it's all at this time, how can you still talk about the benevolence of these women, when you are constantly suffering from it, if one day we are weak, Cao Cao sees that the situation is not good and leads the soldiers and horses to vote for others?" ”
"Yes, King Chuang, as the so-called heaven does not take it, but suffers from it, you can't be soft-hearted in this matter......"
The civil and military forces in the big tent spoke one after another, basically persuading Li Zicheng to take down Luo Rucai.
In the civil and military forces on the right side of Li Zicheng's tent, Huo Zhaowei hid in the middle of the crowd with a low-key face, and when he saw this scene in the tent, he suddenly thought of the order that came from the dragon's head a few days ago.
Seeing that Li Zicheng was still hesitating, Huo Zhaowei changed his usual silent state and bowed down and said:
"King Chuang, his subordinates have a strategy, not only can they collect Luo Rucai's army, but they can also pacify it."
Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his hand to look at Huo Zhaowei, "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”
Huo Zhaowei glanced at everyone in the tent with confidence, made a look of a celebrity, and paced left and right behind him with his hands in his hands:
"The reason why our army is in such a situation is that the priority is not clear, if you want to solve this matter smoothly, the best way is to set the dignity and humility, respect and humility are established, this Luo Rucai is the minister of the king, then he has to pay this soldier and horse if he doesn't pay it."
"Brother Huo means to ......", Song Xiance looked at Huo Zhaowei with a look of surprise.
"That's right", Huo Zhaowei smiled and nodded firmly, "It is to ask for the title of Wang Jianji, we have always been operating as a thief, and now many places in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places are in the hands of our army, and then acting as a thief will inevitably lose morale." ”
"Besides, our army has not negotiated with the army under the new Amber this time, and it has caused a lot of soldiers to fluctuate, if King Chuang does not give him compensation, it is unknown what the future of the army will be."
"Hahaha, King Chuang is really lucky to have a talent like Huo Zhongzhi", Huo Zhaowei was only halfway through his words, and Song Xiance immediately laughed and answered.
Although he and Huo Zhaowei didn't have much friendship, they didn't need to be jealous like Niu Jinxing, so they lifted it up.
Song Xiance had a smug expression, fanned the feather fan in his hand, and looked at the people in the tent:
"Brother Zhongzhi is right, our army now occupies five prefectures and twenty-three states, and it is no longer a rogue, and now it is about to ask for the title of Wang Jianji, and then seal the whole army, so that not only Luo Rucai's problem can be solved, but even the army's heart has been stabilized by the way."
As soon as they heard that they were going to reward the generals, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Zongmin and other generals in the tent were all excited.
Everyone is too lazy to care about the various reasons that Song Xiance and others said, but this matter is closely related to everyone.
Liu Zongmin, who had a cross-faced face, immediately laughed and hugged his fists and said: "King Chuang, what the gentlemen said is very good, the brothers followed King Chuang from birth to death, isn't it just to glorify the ancestors, now that he has been crowned an official, everyone has a hope, and they must work harder to fight." ”
"What Zong Min said is", Yuan Zongdi and others under Li Zicheng hugged their fists one after another, "Please also break into the title of Wang Jianji, and we will conspire to become rich." ”
"Hahaha, all brothers have this intention, then I Lao Li is welcome."
Seeing that the people in the tent were so excited, Li Zicheng's mood also surged.
The title of Jianji, what a distant statement, I didn't expect that I could do such a big thing with a reckless heart.
Li Zicheng was ecstatic in his heart, if he could really do it, then it would be really worth dying.
At that moment, he clapped his head and said, "Okay, then we will build the title." ”
It's just that in a blink of an eye, Li Zicheng said with some bared teeth: "What is the name of this Jianji, do you gentlemen know?" ”
Song Xiance glanced at Huo Zhaowei, and when he saw him signaling to him, he immediately smiled and returned the salute and shook his fan and smiled:
"There are two kinds of Jianji, one is to be the king, and the other is to be the emperor!"
The word "emperor" seems to have magical power, and as soon as it appeared in the big tent, it immediately caused the hearts of the army to be excited.
"It's good to be the emperor, if you want to do it, you can make it big!" , Liu Zongmin said excitedly with a flushed face.
