Chapter 14: Coercion
Ma Xiguang is also a person who loves painting, and when he heard that there are paintings by famous artists, he immediately wanted to take them to appreciate them. 78 High Speed Update .//
In the distance, this picture scroll is a towering green mountain, dark green and water green, showing the green pines all over the mountain, but near is a four-corner pavilion, in the pavilion a man and a woman, the male, the female fuqin, the lines outline the combination of shades, and the figure form is lifelike.
Ma Xiguang looked at it carefully, and said lovingly: "It's a good painting." Looking at this woman, while stroking the piano, the autumn waves are secretly sent, and the characters are vivid, which is really a good painting. ”
"General Zuo loves this character, but the old man likes this towering green mountains and green trees everywhere. General Zuo, you see that this green mountain is undulating, and the pines and cypresses on the mountain are everywhere, I don't know how many trees there are. ”
Ma Xiguang glanced at Li Gao in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine he could sell in his gourd. He shook his head and said, "I can't see the shadow of this pine tree clearly, I don't know how many there are. ”
"Hehe, but the old man counted it." Li Gao said with a smile.
Ma Xiguang's expression was full of disbelief, but Li Gao didn't explain, just raised three fingers slightly and shook them in front of Ma Xiguang.
"Three?" Ma Xiguang asked strangely. The trees in this painting are lush and green, and it doesn't look like just three trees, but if you want to say three thousand, thirty thousand, that's pretty much the same.
"It's not three, it's thirty thousand." Li Gao read softly.
Ma Xiguang's hand trembled lightly with these words, his eyes opened slightly, his pupils suddenly glowed, and his mind also turned sharply. Peng Shuang's girl once inadvertently revealed that the account book was taken by Ma Guangliang. However, at that time, Peng Shuang swore that Zhou Tingzhi was dead.
For a long time, Ma Guangliang has never threatened him with the account book, at most, when he was reorganizing the army recently, he targeted a few junior officers. Only relied on an account book, no one had a certificate, and he was helpless to take him Tiance Zuo. Ma Xiguang's case against Zhou Tingzhi slowly put his mind at ease.
Unexpectedly, at noon today, I actually saw Zhou Tingyu still alive in this world. At this moment, Ma Xiguang was completely confused, and he looked at Li Gao who was smiling in surprise.
For a while, his throat was a little hoarse, and he coughed twice, but he didn't know how to speak.
His expression was cramped and uneasy, how could he hide from Li Gao, who had been observing carefully. Li Gao smiled and said: "Taoists often say that the Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things. It can be seen that these three can refer not only to three trees, but also to three thousand, thirty thousand, not only to trees, but also to all things in the world, such as calligraphy and painting, and silver two. ”
Wise people don't speak secret words. This Li Gao said this, Ma Xiguang was already convinced in his heart that the account book must be in Li Gao's hands, and he was now worried not only about the account book, but also about Zhou Tingyu, a big living person, if this person was also in their hands, then everything would be over.
"General Zuo... General Zuo. ”
"Oh, Lord Li, please speak, listen to me. Hehe. Ma Xiguang came back to his senses, laughed dryly twice, and wanted to hide himself, but the panic in his expression was undoubtedly revealed.
Li Gao also secretly wondered in his heart, what happened to this Ma Xiguang today, it stands to reason that there is only an account book, he shouldn't be afraid to this point. However, the current situation was something he couldn't ask for, and he hurriedly smiled: "General Zuo, we have had many disputes in the court recently, but in fact, they are all out of public interest, and there is absolutely no private intention. What I think is nothing more than that our Dachu can be stable, stable, and prosperous. The second prince commanded the army, thanks to the strong support of General Zuo, and thanked General Zuo for the second prince. As he spoke, Li Gao bowed and bowed.
Obedient and listening, this opening sentence is extremely beautiful, but it has no connotation, and the main thing has not been talked about yet. Ma Xiguang returned the salute slightly and continued to listen to Li Gao's next words.
Li Gao arched his hand and said: "Since King Wumu opened the foundation, the Lingnan Liu clan and my Great Chu have always been enemies, and in the past two years, they have disturbed my Great Chu year after year. At the end of last year, Chu and Tang got married, and Li Tang was busy with the eastward expedition to Fuzhou and Jianzhou, and had no time to look west. This is a great opportunity for me to go south to crusade against the Liu clan. What does General Zuo think? ”
Ma Xiguang didn't speak, just nodded, and said in his heart: Could it be that he wants me to be in charge of the Southern Expedition? No, this must not be promised to him, if I leave, the internal army will have no pillars, and Ma Guangliang will reorganize the army, maybe the internal army will really be in his hands. But... If I don't listen to him, he will turn out Zhou Ting's teachings, then...
Ma Xi's heart was like lightning, and he was nervous.
Li Gao continued: "General Zuo, you have been in charge of the army for many years, do you think it is better to send someone in command. ”
Ma Xiguang lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Li Gao, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "In my Ma clan, when it comes to fighting, in addition to King Wumu, it should be Ma Yun, the deputy envoy of Jingnan Jingnan Jiedu. Master Li, what do you think? ”
"Hehe, General Zuo, I'm kidding... Li Gao laughed.
"My fourth brother has been in Langzhou for many years, and he is also familiar with military affairs, how about asking him to lead the troops?" Ma Xiguang threw out another candidate.
"Langzhou is close to understanding the barbarians, and without the circus calyx general, I'm afraid there will be another chaos."
Ma Xiguang stopped talking, and he also knew that Li Gao would definitely not agree to mention the names of these two people. Because no matter who these two go, once they win, it may become a big and difficult situation again. This is something that Ma Guangliang's party, which lacks the support of the army, absolutely disapproves. If you want to play tricks, play something that does not supply grain and grass on time, these two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, he fights, you dare to cut off his food, he runs back to Changsha and shouts against the sky, and it is Ma Guangliang who can't eat and walk.
"Then what does Master Li think of my seventh brother Ma Xichong?" Ma Xiguang is still reluctant to move his nest.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Gao's mouth, he took a breath and said, "General Zuo, fighting a war is a major national event, and it can't be played." General Ma Xichong, although he is in charge of the troops, but what kind of palm he is, I don't need to say, General Zuo should also know. What if something goes wrong on the front line? Actually, I have an idea, this Liu Yantao is a general in the country, and Liu Quanming is also a fierce general in the army, with the two of them in command, they are sending a civilian official to supervise the army, according to the elite of our Chu army, teach a lesson to the Lingnan Liu family, it should be effortless. Ma Xiguang was stunned, this Li Gao was really ruthless enough, and he suddenly transferred his right-hand man, and they left one by one, not to mention it for the time being. After these two people are transferred, whether they can come back in the future, and whether they will listen to themselves again when they come back, I really don't know at all.
Zhou Tingyu's case was exposed, and if he filed a lawsuit in front of the king of Chu, the king of Chu would inevitably be angry. But if he wants to say that his third brother will kill him, Ma Xiguang doesn't believe it, it's nothing more than greedy for some silver taels, but falling out of favor and being dismissed from office are inevitable. If you listen to Li Gao's words, you may not become a prisoner. At present, the battle for the heir is becoming increasingly fierce, as long as he still has an official position and military power, he may not have no chance, even if he has no chance, as long as he has military power, the future king of Chu will not dare to touch himself.
"General Zuo... General Zuo,,, what do you think? Li Gao asked.
Ma Xiguang hesitated again and again, and finally nodded heavily.
Li Gao smiled and took out a recital from his sleeve, handed it to Ma Xiguang, and said: "General Zuo, we are really heroes who see the same thing, the lower officials have already written a recital, and elected Liu Yantao as the commander, Liu Quanming as the deputy marshal, and Li Jie as the supervising army, raising 30,000 internal troops and going south to crusade against Liu Han." General Zuo, we have the same opinion, it is better to sign together, and we will play the king tomorrow. ”
----------- "Mr. Zhao, I have inquired about the whereabouts of that person." Peng Shuang pushed open the door of the study and said eagerly.
"What? Have you already figured it out? Zhao Pu, who was sorting out the information, put down the work in his hand and stood up and asked. Since Ma Guangliang rectified the internal army, the underwaves of Changsha City have surged, and the struggle of various forces has become increasingly fierce. Ma Yun, who is far away in Jingnan, is in a hurry, for fear of missing a great opportunity. Ma Yun discussed with Zhao Pu, Fan Zhen, Li Xiang and others, and finally decided to send Zhao Pu back to Changsha to deal with the emergency situation in Changsha on behalf of Ma Yun.
At present, Ma Guangliang and Ma Xiguang are equally powerful. And Zhou Tingzhi became a turning point in the victory or defeat of this struggle, if Ma Guangliang mastered Zhou Tingzhi, Ma Xiguang had to wait for the removal of the king of Chu to investigate in addition to raising troops to rebel. But if Zhou Tingzhi is in Ma Xiguang's hands, Ma Xiguang is not afraid of Ma Guangliang, and the two will fight for a long time. This gave Jingnan a chance to develop, but the problem is that Ma Xiguang's prestige in the domestic army is too high, if he does not step down, it doesn't matter whether Ma Guangliang or Ma Yun will be the king of Chu in the future, he will not be able to sit still.
Fortunately, Ma Xiguang and Ma Guangliang didn't know that Zhou Tingzhi was still alive. Therefore, Zhao Pu can still calmly arrange and secretly visit.
"Miss Peng, how did you find out Zhou Tingyu's whereabouts?" Zhao Pu asked carefully.
"This person never went out when he arrived in Changsha, so we checked for more than a month and there was no progress, it is strange to say, this person suddenly appeared on the street at noon today, and was targeted by our people. Found the place. Peng Shuang explained.
Zhao Pu pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Do you know, did he see anyone?" ”
"He hasn't seen anyone yet, oh yes, it's very likely that he met someone - the fifth master, Ma Xiguang."
"What." Zhao Pu was taken aback, he turned around and looked at the information recorded on the table - Li Gao had a banquet for Ma Xiguang, the general of Tiance Zuo, at noon.
Zhao Pu frowned, turned around the study twice, and then said, "Miss Peng, you immediately send someone to give this situation to the prince." Then send someone to crucify Zhou Tingzhi, and then tell General Tiance Zuo the address of Zhou Tingzhi. ”
Peng Shuang nodded.
Zhao Pu suddenly said again: "Find someone to find someone to tell Li Gao about Zhou Tingyu's address quietly." Hehe, long pain is better than short pain, let them completely divide the winner and loser. ”
