Chapter 200: If You Don't Enter the Tiger's Den, You Will Get the Tiger (1)
Zhang Shumo's words surprised everyone, and Pang Yuan immediately asked, "Zhang Gongzi is going to personally go to Xiu Wuzhi tomorrow to deliver the letter?" ”
"That's natural, and you'll have to choose someone smarter to follow." Zhang Shumo said.
Cai Zhi grabbed Zhang Shumo's hand: "Are you crazy?" How can you go to such a dangerous thing in person? In case you have three strengths and two weaknesses, how can we explain to Miss Lou? Cai Zhi deliberately mentioned Lou Zaiying, wanting Zhang Shumo to give up the idea of taking risks.
Zhang Shumo smiled mysteriously: "Some things must be done by me personally, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger!" Alright, guys, please go back, I'm really going to rest. After saying that, he yawned and returned to the house.
On the second day, Zhang Shumo convened everyone again, because the Niu family wanted to handle Niu Heng's funeral, so Zhang Shumo did not notify them.
When everyone arrived, Zhang Shumo said the reason for convening everyone: "I asked you to come over today to discuss who is more appropriate to send a letter to the people of Jingguo, I don't know what you think?" ”
Liu naturally looked at Zhang Shumo in surprise: "Didn't you say you were going yesterday?" Could it be that I figured it out last night and don't plan to go again? ”
Zhang Shumo shook his head: "I will definitely go, but of course I won't go over as me, I will pretend to be an entourage and follow the past, so now I need to choose someone to choose." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Cai Zhi, the Niu family was not there, and only Cai Zhi could be used by Zhang Shumo's subordinates.
But before Cai Zhi could speak, Liu naturally took the lead in saying to Zhang Shumo: "I think I'd better go." I'm here to protect you. And I am a brother to Zhou Gang, so I have something to do with it, and the people of Jingguo shouldn't be embarrassed for me. ”
Cai Zhi hurriedly said to Liu Tiantian: "But you don't even have a position now, and it seems insincere to send you over, so it's appropriate for me to go!" ”
Who knew that Zhang Shumo said: "The matter of the position is simple, Zhou Gang can be a national teacher, and Liu is naturally his junior brother." Since this is the case, it is so decided, and it will be up to me and Liu Nature to deliver the letter! ”
After speaking, Zhang Shumo said to everyone again: "Everyone, during the time I left, I asked Cai Zhi for political affairs, and Pang Yuan for military affairs. Lord Niu Zheng may not be able to distract from government affairs in the near future, so I bother you to worry a lot! ”
Everything was arranged, and Zhang Shumo and Liu naturally packed up their things and prepared to leave. But the news soon let Lou Zaiying and Hu Kun know, and the two directly stopped Zhang Shumo and didn't let him leave. In the end, it was easy to persuade Lou Zaiying, but Hu Kun insisted on following to protect Zhang Shumo, so Liu naturally had to take a scholar and an escort to Xiu Wuzhi.
The big tea castle is only forty miles away from Xiuwuzhi, and the three of them set off for a short rest at noon, and arrived at Xiuwuzhi at ten o'clock in the evening.
Due to the war, the gate of Xiu Wuzhi was closed at this time, and Hu Kun had no choice but to step forward and shout: "Listen to the soldiers in the city, we are the envoys of the Wu Xiu Army, and we have brought a personal letter from your national teacher, quickly open the door and let us in!" ”
Zhou Gang's disappearance was already known to the Jing Guojun, and when they heard Hu Kun's shout, the guards hurried to report it.
After a while, the city gate slowly opened, and Hao Yang walked out of the city with a team of people. Seeing the dress of the three of them, Hao Yang couldn't help but wonder, two children and an entourage, what tricks does this Wu Xiujun plan to do?
"You are from the Wu Xiu Army? So our national teacher was really arrested by you? Hao Yang asked.
Liu Tianzhi arched his hand towards Hao Yang: "This general, Poor Dao is Liu Tiantian, the national teacher of the Wu Xiu Army. Zhou Gang and I are brothers in the same sect, and this time I came to give a letter to Lord Ji Wen for Senior Brother Zhou, and Senior Brother Zhou said, let me personally hand it over to Lord Ji, so I also asked the general to report it. ”
After speaking, Liu naturally took out the letter and showed it to Hao Yang.
Hao Yang understood the intention of Liu Tiantian and his party, and he didn't dare to make his own opinions, so he had to send someone to report to Ji Wen, and soon Ji Wen sent an order to let Liu Tiantian and others enter the city.
Originally, Ji Wen was having dinner with Yang Xue, and frowned after getting the news from Hao Yang. Yang Xue knew that Zhang Shumo had sent someone to negotiate with Ji Wen and wanted to help, so she took the initiative to ask: "Why is the prince depressed when he gets the news of the national teacher?" ”
Ji Wen sighed: "Concubine Ai doesn't know, this king is angry and hateful to Zhou Gang now, but he doesn't dare to ignore him, otherwise let my brother know that he will have to punish me." ”
Yang Xue's eyes narrowed, and she immediately asked, "Why does the prince hate the national teacher?" Isn't the national teacher a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and has made a significant contribution to Jingguo? ”
"Humph! That's all for my brother! In order to preserve my brother's strength, this Zhou Gang attacked Huaiguo and let the soldiers of Jincheng charge in front of him, and the soldiers of his original city will only hide in the rear to defend the city, and there are only 50,000 of my Jincheng 100,000 troops left, all thanks to Zhou Gang! ”
After hearing this, Yang Xue suddenly had a plan, so she said: "I see, this old thief actually killed the prince, I see that Wu Xiujun killed him to relieve his anger!" However, this time, the Wu Xiujun sent someone to deliver the letter, and the people in the army already knew that if we ignore Zhou Gang and the news reaches the king, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the prince. ”
Ji Wen nodded: "Of course this king is awake, but when I think that the old thief will definitely let this king's men work hard after he comes back, this king is like a fish in his throat!" ”
As he was talking, the guards came to report, and Hao Yang and the envoys of the Wu Xiujun were already waiting outside. Ji Wen ordered Hao Yang to bring someone in, and then wanted Yang Xue to retreat, but he couldn't stand Yang Xue's coquettishness, so he had to agree to let her stay.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu naturally saluted respectfully: "Poor Dao Liu has naturally seen the prince!" Zhang Shumo and Hu Kun also hurriedly bowed deeply.
Ji Wen looked at Liu Tiantian and the others, and directly sneered: "Zhang Shumo is too unreliable, let a stinky boy be an envoy, is it true that your martial arts army has no one anymore?" ”
Liu naturally didn't get angry, and replied: "Don't look at Poor Dao's young age, Poor Dao and Zhou Gang are the same generation, and I am still Zhou Gang's junior brother!" ”
Ji Wenwen heard that Liu naturally had a relationship with Zhou Gang, so he realized in his heart: "No wonder Zhang Shumo didn't kill the national teacher, it turns out that there is a relationship with you!" Didn't you say that the national teacher wrote me a letter? What about faith? ”
Liu naturally hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Ji Wen, who opened it directly and looked at it.
At this time, Zhang Shumo raised his head slightly and looked at Yang Xue who was sitting next to Ji Wen. Although it was only a quick glimpse on the battlefield that day, Zhang Shumo had already guessed that Yang Xue and Ji Wen had a lot to do with each other.
The chariot that Yang Xue was riding at that time drove four horses, which was a chariot that only princes and kings could sit on, and there was only one prince king on the battlefield, and that was Ji Wen. Therefore, Zhang Shumo's main purpose in coming to Xiuwuzhi this time was to contact Yang Xue and persuade her to help him!
