Daibei, Mayi.

Liu Wuzhou stood at the door, looking at the two people who came to visit. One is Xu Wenbao, a big timber merchant who often passes by in Mayi, and the other is his fellow villager and friend.

Xu Wenbao was dressed in brocade and silk, with a shy belly, while the person next to him was very strong, although he looked at the white spots in his ears, his lower abdomen was still flat.

Xu Wenbao arched his hand, "General Liu, introduce you to a friend." ”

"I love to make friends the most, and the saint Yun has friends from afar, so I'm happy, please."

In Liu Wuzhou's mansion, Xu Wenbao introduced to Liu Wuzhou, "This is my friend from the same township, surnamed Wu Mingshi Tong Zi Xinming, who used to run a timber business with me, and later abandoned business to join Rong, and now Sima Kaicao, a marcher from Taiyuan Mansion, joined the army." ”

"It turned out that a friend came from Taiyuan." Liu Wuzhou smiled, but he was a little curious about how a soldier from Taiyuan Mansion came to Mayi, and it seemed that it was not a business trip, but a businessman to make an introduction.

Wu Shi Tong didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "I used to be in business and knew a lot of friends, so I have a lot of friends. Recently, I heard a friend of mine talk about a matter that the imperial court wanted to let the governor of the royal capital go north to Dingxiang and take over the position of Luo Xuanwu's marshal? ”

"Well, there is such a thing, the imperial court has decreed that Dingxiang and Ma Yi will be integrated with the Yidu Governor's Mansion and set up the new Dingxiang Road, and the Wang Du Governor will take over as the Shuai Yin."

The samurai then patted his leg and said, "Why is the general so happy, don't you know that this is a disaster." ”

"Why?"

Wu Shi Tong said, "I heard that General Liu respects Luo Shuai of the loyal army outside the Guan, and I also have a little friendship with General Wang Junkuo under Luo Shuai, I heard that now the imperial court because of the death of Yu Wenshu, the prime minister in the court wants to take this opportunity to collect the power of several meritorious marshals of the Luo family, but Luo Cheng Luo Siye Luo Gui Luo Yi and others have made great achievements in the country, guarding the frontier, and are famous in the army, and are deeply loved by the soldiers. ”

"Especially today, when there is chaos everywhere, why should the country rely more on the border commanders who have great achievements in heavy armies, but because of some rumors without evidence, they should seize the power of the heroes and condemn them? Doesn't this chill the heroes and force the generals to rebel? ”

When Liu Wuzhou heard the word rebellion, his eyelids twitched a few times.

"General Liu, you are also a battle-hardened person, and you should know the current situation better than me. If the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Duke of Chu surrender their military power at this time, they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed, so they will never hand over the military power, and if the prince and the governor go to Dingxiang to take over the military power, I am afraid that if it is not done well, it will cause war. ”

"Probably not, right?" Liu Wuzhou said.

"General, but please think about it from another perspective, if you are the Marquis of Xiangyang, will you hand over the military power at this time?"

"Think about it again, if the Marquis of Xiangyang is opposed, then the Duke of Chu will definitely be opposed, and then Shandong and Annan will also be opposed, and then Wang Dudu and General Liu will be in danger, maybe the imperial court will punish you for your crimes in order to appease a few border marshals. And the worse possibility is that you will be killed directly by the Marquis of Xiangyang. ”

Liu Wuzhou touched his chin, "Wu Senjun, you are an official in Taiyuan, why did you say such things, you shouldn't stand on the side of the imperial court, why do you always say that the Luo family wants to rebel?" ”

"General Liu, can't you see the general trend like today? Now if there is a great chaos today, Luoyang is besieged by rebels, and the emperor can only hide in Jiangdu. Nowadays, the world's capable soldiers are also in the hands of several major festivals in the frontier. The emperor now has no soldiers, and the court has no one who can fight, how can there be any tomorrow in this Great Sui Dynasty, the number of qi has been exhausted, and now it is time to change the dynasty, at this time, General Liu, why don't you take advantage of the situation and be a father who supports the new monarch and starts the country from the dragon? ”

"It seems that Wu Senjun has already stood up, and if I arrest you, I guess I can exchange a lot of rewards."

The warrior Tong smiled, "I'm just a small member of the army, what's the use of you arresting me, but if you really want to do this, you are putting yourself on the opposite side of Luo Shuai, what will you do in the future?" ”

Liu Wuzhou smiled, "It's just a joke with Wu Senjun, but I'm just a small general, and I can't control the general trend of the world." ”

"General Liu, you are also very prestigious in the Mayi army, and you are deeply relied on by the governor of the king, we think that you should persuade the governor of the king on behalf of the soldiers of the Mayi, and your words will carry more weight. If the governor of the royal capital is willing to stand on Luo Shuai's side, he will definitely not lose the reward of the father in the future, and General Liu, you will not lose the position of prince. ”

Liu Wuzhou then went to see Wang Rengong and said that we should not go to Dingxiang, the current situation, we rushed over, we are afraid that it will backfire, if Luo Siye is forced to rebel, we are only afraid that we will not be able to bear this responsibility, and it may even cause a war between the Dingxiang Xuanwu army and our Ma Yi Yiwu army.

"After defeating the Turks, now Daibei has finally begun to recover some vitality, and the people have settled down again, and if this fight starts again, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

Wang Rengong was not persuaded by the words of his subordinates.

He widened his eyes, blew his beard and said, "As a general of the Great Sui, I must be loyal to the court and guard the border for the king." Now that the emperor has issued an order to transfer Luo Siye back to Beijing, so that we can unite the two towns, we should follow the order, and the rest is not something we should consider. As for Luo Si's rebellion, that is his business, if he is really opposed, then he is a traitor, and we should crusade against him. If he accepts the order to enter Beijing, then we have nothing to worry about. ”

"Wang Shuai, the situation is different, those who know the times are Junjie!"

As a result, Wang Rengong scolded him bitterly, "It's better not to let me hear this kind of thing again, otherwise you will be punished." ”

Liu Wuzhou was scolded back, and told Wu Shitong and Xu Wenbao helplessly.

"It's okay, let's find a way to do it, even if it doesn't work out, but it's worth being happy to make a friend like General Liu." Wu Shi Tong said with a smile, and then said that he wanted to invite Liu Wuzhou to drink.

"Just drink it in my house."

Xu Wenbao said, let's go to my place, I have a treasure of good wine there. Liu Wuzhou is also a good drinker, so when he heard about it, he agreed with a smile.

Immediately, they went to Xu Wenbao's house in Mayi City, and Xu asked his family to prepare wine and food, and chatted while eating.

At the banquet, Wu Xu and the others frequently saluted Liu Wuzhou and wine, and even called a few beautiful kabuki to accompany them.

"It's not early, I see that the general is also drunk, why don't you rest here tonight, the Yicui girl that the general liked just now, I asked her to accompany the general."

"Hahaha, yes, just listen to Xu Langjun's arrangement." Liu Wuzhou was already drunk, and the girl Yicui was even more held in his arms, up and down, and he was really unwilling to leave this gentle township at this time.

When Liu Wuzhou hugged Miss Yicui into the guest room, Xu Wenbao and Wu Shi Tong looked at each other and smiled.

"Is it all arranged?"

"Well, it's been arranged, since Wang Rengong refuses to cooperate, then it can only be like this, I have sent someone to trick his favorite concubine out of the house and into incense, and kidnapped her halfway, and when Liu Wuzhou is asleep, I will strip this beauty and send her to his bed."

"Wang Rengong can just find it, right?"

"That's natural, when he follows the clues, he will just find out that his favorite concubine is actually messing with his most trusted general."

"I'm afraid the little concubine won't cooperate, right?"

"There is a countermeasure, this will be that little concubine has been drunk, I don't know who is going to know, even if I put her with a pig, she won't react."

"Hahaha, although the strategy has lost a little, the effect is definitely good."

The two laughed.
