"Explain? What else can be explained! "Li Shigu was very angry, and said that tens of thousands of Pinglu army children have already been divided into two parts, one is stationed in Tunyunzhou City with me to deal with Gao Yue; The other one is in Zou Teng, dealing with Zhang Jianfeng, it can be said that it is pouring out, at this time, if Chengde Wang Wujun takes the opportunity to come for a while, the clam pond will really not be able to be saved, and it will be difficult to finish Qingzhou.

Now there is only one way left to fight, and the justification is purely superfluous.

Linghu said: You might as well let me go to the Eastern Capital City and discuss with Gao Jigong, I am confident that I can find a way out for Ziqing.

Li Shigu looked at Ling Huzao suspiciously, and then he paced in front of the map again, and clearly saw that there was Wang Wujun in the north, Zhang Jianfeng in the southwest, and the Yicheng army of the imperial court in the west, as well as the east...... I'm sorry, but the sea is to the east.

As for the Xuanwu Army of the Biansong Dynasty, as well as the Wei Bo Tianxiong Army, they are all unreliable at critical times!

In the end, Li Shigu agreed to let Linghu Zao go to the Eastern Capital to try his luck.

Within a few days, Wang Wujun, Zhang Jianfeng, Li Rong, Li Yuanchun and other envoys of the Tang family were on the border, and Li Shigu was overwhelmed by heavy troops from three sides, and the generals under the command of the Pinglu Army seemed to be wavering.

Li Shigu knew that although his family had been separating more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Ziqing, although it had been some years, its rule was not very solid, and it still relied on the low-level alliance behavior of asking the general for his wife and children and holding him hostage in the military government.

So Li Shigu and his younger brother Li Shidao scolded all day long, scolding Zi Jiazhen, Mencha, and Yuanjing, who were arbitrary, so that they had to assassinate Zhao Jing and harm the entire Fang Town.

At this moment, in Caizhou City, Huaixi, Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping secretly smiled, and also sold the 100,000 stone salt sent by Ziqing, one-third of the surplus, to local merchants, and then these merchants took these salts and transported them to Hankou in Eyue and Jiangmen in Jingnan to sell them again. Wu Shaocheng also sent a batch of secret envoys to Bianzhou City, and went to pick up Li Wanrong, saying that your Xuanwu Army can also fight against the water as soon as possible, so that Chenzhou, Huazhou, and Zhengzhou will all be yours, "The imperial court, that's it, treat us as babies, and only give milk to drink when we cry so much." ”

In Wu Shaocheng's mind, the anti-Tang alliance of Huaixi-Ziqing-Weibo-Biansong will be formed soon!

At the same time, Linghu Zao, who was shouldering an urgent mission of 100,000 people, sat on the stagecoach of Li Shigu's special quasi-quasi, galloped by a horse, like a meteor from east to west, day and night in the direction of the eastern capital.

He didn't even dare to go to Bianzhou, where the Xuanwu army was located, but took the road to slippery and Zheng, and then changed to a small boat, almost a hundred miles in a day, and came to Luoyang.

At this time, Gao Yue was leisurely on the wall of the old king of Shendu Garden, looking at the scenery of the eastern capital.

It is a good place here, at the intersection of Gushui and Luoshui, the north is the stretching mountain, Gao Yue looks to the east, the palace there is the famous Ningbi Pond, this pool then goes to the outskirts of the city, a beautiful mountain and river, there are many luxurious villas hidden in it, including Gao's Lin Ting.

Gao Yue had promised before Gao Ying that sooner or later he would revive the Lin Pavilion.

But now it's helpless, because Lin Tingshang has long been covered by other houses, and it has become another family's industry.

In addition to sighing, Gao Yue also went to pay homage to Yan Zhenqing, although Yan Lugong is old, but he is very strong and strong, he can move up and down in several places on the bed, dozens of times a day, Gao Yue also asked Yan Lugong to say: Pacify Huaixi, Ziqing, the imperial court will want to mint new coins, and the words on it must be written by Yan Lugong.

Yan Zhenqing agreed angrily, and said to Gao Yue, I, I have seen the prosperous era of Kaitian, and I have also seen the most miserable troubled times, and now if I can live until the day of the revival of the country, I will have no regrets, what is the point of writing the year name on a few coins.

When the Ziqing envoy Ling Huzao came to Shendu Yuan, Gao Yue rarely did not go out to hunt, but sat on the Hu bed in the tent and read "Zuo Chuan" carefully.

After listening to Linghuzao's intentions, Gao Yue coughed lightly twice and did not reply.

Linghu Zao hurriedly said: "The death of Zhao Jing, the servant of the Chinese book, is really not known to the Jiexia, but now the testimony is extinguished, there is no argument, and all five are burned, although there is a heart of obedience, but there is no pillar stone to help, in order to eliminate the anger of the holy lord and relieve the suspicion of the monarch and ministers." ”

Immediately, Ling Huzao took another half step forward and said to Gao Yue: "Ask Ji Gong to ease his cheeks for the festival!" ”

"How can I ease this cheek...... It is the ruler of the country who dies. Gao Yue spread his hands.

"For this trip, Jiexia once said that as long as Ji Gong is willing to ease his cheeks in front of the Holy Lord, any conditions can be discussed. In addition, Ji Gong held the festival governor of Huaixi and Ziqing, and the officers and soldiers and horses involved were nearly 200,000, and the monthly cost was more than one million...... According to Jigong, the two towns of Huaixi and Ziqing, who is the trouble of the imperial court. ”

"Originally, it was indeed Huaixi, but since Zhao Zhonglang was killed, you Ziqing has borne the brunt."

"This matter is in vain, if Ji Gong can suspend the offensive, the Pinglu army is willing to sacrifice 300,000 yuan!"

"300,000 is the job."

"500,000 yuan, what is it?"

At this time, Gao Yue looked a little moved, but he quickly sighed again, saying that if the government and the opposition knew that Li Shigu just gave money, His Majesty would no longer pursue Zhao Jing's death, public opinion would rise, not to mention that I had to arouse public anger again and take the blame and resign, even the Holy Lord would not be able to cover his face.

"Please also make it clear." Ling Huzao hurriedly made a statement.

"Let General Jinwu write a letter of apology, and then make up the two taxes this year, and promise that the prefectures and counties of Ziqing will have to pay two taxes every year."

"......" made Hu Zao understand that this condition was a bit powerful.

Originally, the taxes in Ziqing Fang Town were not paid at all, but now if you do what Gao Yue said, then Li Shigu's independence will be greatly discounted.

This is not only the money, but also the legal principle of separation.

"The two taxes are the ones that are offered and sent to the Beijing Division, and the part of the envoy and the state is still at the disposal of the general Fang Yuan. As for the amount of taxes, the imperial court immediately sent an envoy to inspect it, and then it was roughly settled, as long as General Jinwu is willing to pay this money, then I guarantee that not only can I ease my cheeks in front of the Holy Lord, but maybe I can also wash away the grievances that have been placed on your Ziqing Town. Gao Yue swore by it.

Seeing that Ling Hu Zao was still wavering, Gao Yue accentuated his tone:

"Why, Ling Hu Langzhong doesn't believe that I can fulfill this promise?"

"How dare you, how dare you."

Gao Yue smiled, turned his back to Linghu Zao, and began to use his proud words: "This snow is not washed snow, but it is completely in my hands, Linghu Langzhong you rushed here from Yunzhou hundreds of miles, what you want to express is a sincerity, since I really show sincerity, you must not have a strange appearance, if so, you will return in vain, but it will be greatly detrimental to the people of Ziqing." ”

In fact, Gao Yue was originally going to wash the snow and Ziqing, but since Linghu Zao came to negotiate, then make good use of the game and cut Li Shigu's flesh fiercely!

"How, yes or no, say it early." Gao Yue's tone was obviously starting to become impatient.
