Chapter 67, The Traitor (3)
Xuan Yinzi listened, just smiled slightly and said: "Dashuai, Poor Dao just said that Poor Dao divination is just mixed rice, to put it more clearly, he is just a liar who sees people and talks about people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts." If this kind of thing is really destined, if it can be calculated, what kind of fate does the poor road have to calculate, lie directly in your own home, if you are destined to get rich, isn't lying down also to be rich? If you are destined to starve to death, then don't you starve to death if you run around? Therefore, the poor way does not believe in fate, but only believes that there is no way for good and evil, and only people are called. Since Poor Dao doesn't believe in it, how can he tell his fortune? After spending all his strength, can he still cheat money from the poor Dao himself? It's cheated out, and it's also poor for your own money, isn't it? So when he returned to Dashuai, Poor Dao only knew that he would definitely die, but he didn't calculate how he would die. ”
Zuo Liangyu listened, stared at Xuan Yinzi with eyes, and after a while, suddenly laughed: "You Taoist priest, it's really interesting!" Well, as you said yourself, you are a liar, so how do you want to deceive Lao Tzu when you come to Lao Tzu now? ”
"Dashuai." Xuan Yinzi said again, "The poor road is here, naturally to ask the big handsome to let the eight kings and Cao Cao live." ”
Zuo Liangyu laughed and said: "Ben Shuai is an official of the imperial court, why should he let that thief live?" ”
"If the wealth and nobility of the handsome man are really all from the imperial court, how dare the poor Dao come to the handsome to talk about it. But are all the wealth and nobility of the handsome really from the imperial court? Xuan Yinzi asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense, why didn't Ben Shuai's wealth come from the imperial court?" Zuo Liangyu seemed a little angry.
Xuanyinzi was not flustered, and said slowly: "Dashuai, what is the meaning of wealth and nobility from the imperial court?" For example, in the Song Dynasty, Yue Dashuai was invincible and invincible, but as long as the imperial court sent a random person who did not take anything except a holy decree, he could deprive him of control over the army, and only one decree was needed to make him behead in a different place. Everything about him belongs to the court, even his own life. The court can take it back whenever it wants, and it can take it back as much as it wants. This is the wealth that comes completely from the imperial court. But are you really like that, Dashuai? ”
Zuo Liangyu smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
Xuan Yinzi continued: "Dashuai has been fighting in the north and south over the years, and there are only a lot of people who have offended. To say that there is no contradiction between the imperial court and the marshal, does the marshal himself believe it? The imperial court can tolerate all kinds of practices of the marshal, for what? Isn't there still a rogue in this world? If the commander really destroys us. Think about it, how will the court treat you? Not to mention anything else, the marshal is from Liaodong, and the current threat to the imperial court is one of us rogues, and the other is Dongxuan, you say, the matter here has been calmed down, and the marshal has made meritorious service again, will the imperial court let you go back to Liaodong to fight Dongxuan? Are you going or not going? If so......"
"Alright, don't say any more!" Zuo Liangyu suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's useless to talk about these things. To be honest, Zhang Bingzhong wants me to let him go, how much money is he willing to pay! ”
This time it was Xuanyinzi's turn to be stunned. However, he immediately understood: "If the marshal is willing to help, the eight kings are willing to give 50,000 taels of silver......
"Then let Zhang Bingzhong take his fifty thousand taels of silver to die! I really think Lao Tzu is called Hanako! Zuo Liangyu said coldly.
"What should be the meaning of the handsome?" Xuanyinzi asked.
"How much do you think the heads of your eight kings are worth?" Zuo Liangyu said, "There is no need to talk about less than 200,000 taels." ”
"Thank you, Dashuai, for looking up to the heads of our eight kings." Xuan Yinzi said with a smile, "It's just that this time the Eight Great Kings sent Poor Dao, and what he wanted to buy was not his own head, but the heads of our subordinates." ”
Zuo Liangyu listened, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, do you eight kings think that your head is more than this price, or do you think that Ben Shuai can't cut off his head?" ”
Xuan Yinzi smiled and said, "Dashuai, if we guessed correctly, something happened in Henan, right?" ”
Zuo Liangyu was shocked, but on the surface, he said quietly: "There is a disaster and famine in Henan, and there are some little minions jumping around there." But if you want to talk about things, this can also be a thing? ”
"Dashuai, I'm afraid that a giant like Huang Zide is not very good, right?" Xuanyinzi said with a smile......
Xuan Yinzi said this sentence quickly changed the situation of the talks, after which the two sides had friendly and cordial talks, enhanced the friendship between the two sides, the two sides of the talks on some issues of common concern fully exchanged views, and reached a lot of key consensus, and finally reached an agreement in line with the interests of both sides, the facts will prove that this is a win-win talks.
After completing a friendly visit to Zuo Liangyu's camp, Xuan Yinzi returned to Zhang Bingzhong's camp and reported the results of the talks to Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde.
"In addition to money, Zuo Liangyu has several conditions: first, we can only go to Sichuan, not to Huguang. Second, it must not stand out from the direction occupied by his men. Thirdly, he only gave us three days to break out. Xuanyinzi said.
"What the fuck are you doing, can you take our money for nothing?" Zhang Bingzhong asked.
"Zuo Liangyu sold us all the arrangements of the officers and troops on the Sichuan side, and he promised that when we broke through in the direction of Sichuan, none of his soldiers would move." Xuanyinzi replied.
"Damn, Zuo Liangyu really didn't do anything, he just wanted to take the money." Zhang Bingzhong said.
"Eight kings, in fact, what we want, isn't it that Zuo Liangyu doesn't do anything? As long as Zuo Liangyu doesn't do anything, we are still sure to break through those Sichuan soldiers. Romond said.
This is true, the Sichuan soldiers are actually very capable of fighting, such as the world-famous white pole soldiers, which are from Sichuan. It's just that over the years, the world has been in chaos everywhere, and the army in Sichuan has been constantly mobilized to fight in other regions. In particular, the white pole soldiers were even transferred to fight in distant Liaodong more than once. As a result, as a guest army, the Sichuan army is often pitted by teammates when it goes to the field. For example, the white pole soldiers who fought in Liaodong were once used by their comrades-in-arms as "immobile as a mountain". The law has killed thousands of people at once. almost wiped out the "white pole soldiers". As a result, not only is there a shortage of troops in Sichuan, but the rest are all recruits who have not fought much. If there were no other armies, especially Zuo Liangyu and He Dalong, who were following Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde, it would not be easy to block the combined forces of Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde by relying on them alone. Now, as long as Zuo Liangyu is really willing to abide by the agreement, Luo Mengde feels that it is not difficult to break through the interception of the Sichuan army and enter Sichuan.
"Humph! Sooner or later, let him spit out everything he took from me! Zhang Bingzhong said viciously.
……
After reading Yang Fei's recital, Emperor Chongde fell into the hesitation of gaining and losing. At first, he did plan to recall Huguang's army to stabilize the situation in Henan according to Fu Yuanxian's suggestion, but Yang Fei told him in the recital that he had led a large army, set up an ambush on all sides, and surrounded the giant Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde in the area of Daning and Dachang. Now that the officers and soldiers from all walks of life are in place, the two anti-thieves Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde are already unable to fly. If the troops were to be withdrawn at this time, all the time spent planning and efforts would be in vain. In the future, it will be difficult to find another opportunity to annihilate Zhang Bingzhong and Luo Mengde in one fell swoop. This really made Emperor Chongde feel unwilling.
In addition, Yang Fei also said that although the army of Huguang seems to be slightly closer to the armies of Shandong and Anhui from a geographical point of view, they are now in the battle with the Liukou, and it is not so easy to withdraw. After withdrawing from the battle, it will take time to rest and recuperate before it can go to Henan to fight. In this way, their arrival in Henan will not be faster than the army in Anhui and Shandong, and may even be slower.
Emperor Chongde felt that Yang Fei's statement was still very reasonable. However, Fu Yuanxian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, resolutely opposed Yang Fei's strategy, and even said that Yang Fei was gambling with the future of the country. That's it, he actually taught himself a lesson, saying that the reason why Yang Fei dared to gamble with the future of the country was because he also had such a problem in the throne. He also said that he should cultivate his own self-cultivation and morality, and degrade evil.
"The last time I hit him, it was too light!" Emperor Chongde couldn't help but think so.
"Wang Banban, you go to the celebrant to say something, and ask them to draw up a holy decree to mobilize Shandong and Anhui military horses to Henan." Emperor Chongde said.
"Your Majesty, you have to allocate another amount of money to do this." Wang Chengen reminded in a whisper on the side.
"Let the military department and the household department think of a way, and they can always squeeze out a little, but if it doesn't work, let's borrow another year's rent from the people of Beijing." Emperor Chongde said tiredly.
Wang Chengen didn't say anything anymore, kowtowed, and prepared to withdraw. But at this moment, he saw Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, coming over.
Emperor Chongde also looked at Wang Dehua and asked, "Why did you come here at this time?" What's the matter? ”
Wang Dehua knelt down and kowtowed first, then stood up, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in Liaodong!" ”
"What?" Emperor Chongde stood up and knocked over his chair in one fell swoop.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Chongde asked.
"Zu Dafu, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, sent someone for help, saying that the Tartars had raised an army of 100,000 and surrounded Jinzhou." Wang Dehua replied.
"Can there be a recital for Hong Yan?" Emperor Chongde asked.
"Liaodong Governor Hong Yan has a chapter, which confirms Zu Dafu's statement." Wang Dehua replied, "The Tartars have come from all over the country and have surrounded Jinzhou. However, Inspector Hong said that the city of Jinzhou was strong, and the Tartars could not defeat it. And unlike the Daling River, there is plenty of grain and grass in Jinzhou City, which can support more than a year and a half. So the emperor doesn't have to be too anxious for the time being, and he can think about it in the long run. ”
