Chapter 536: Lobbying Zhang Xianzhong
The arrival of the Manchu envoy Ning Wan me made a different voice within the Great Western Army, and some people felt that Gao Yihuan, who had cut off his brain, had repeatedly opposed the Great Western Army, and it was a good choice to destroy him first.
Not long after Ning Wan and I arrived in Hanzhong, Zhou Ronghua also arrived in Nanzheng, but because I was taken advantage of by Ning Play, the situation was relatively passive.
Zhou Ronghua came to Nanzheng for a long time, but he couldn't see Zhang Xianzhong, but he moved around and finally found a little relationship.
At this time, in a house in Nanzheng City, Zhou Ronghua and Sun Nian, a civil official who escorted him, stood at the door, as if waiting for someone.
"Captain Zhou, why haven't you come yet?" Sun asked the listing.
Sun Listing is a student of Nanyang Academy, Nanyang Academy is the place where Gao Yihuan cultivates talents, and Sun Listing is the first batch of students to take refuge and was sent by Licao.
Zhou Ronghua licked his lips, "Wait!" ”
After a while, a general of the Western Army hurried to the front of the house with a few horses.
Seeing this, Zhou Ronghua and Sun Listing immediately got up to greet each other, "General Liu, you're finally here!" Let my brother wait! ”
The person who came was called Liu Tingju, who was the general of Zhang Xianzhong's imperial camp, and Zhou Ronghua spent a lot of effort to get in touch.
This person is a native of Huangzhou, Huguang, when Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Huang Degong and fled into Huguang, he, as a gentry in the city, took the initiative to surrender and join Zhang Xianzhong's team, so he was deeply valued by Zhang Xianzhong.
Originally, Zhou Ronghua could use his identity as an envoy to ask to see Zhang Xianzhong, but the official in charge of military and political affairs was angry that Gao Yihuan attacked Jingzhou, but he didn't help report it at all, but let him sit on the cold bench.
Liu Tingju is in his forties and has a big belly, he smiled, "There is something going on today, it's a little late." ”
Zhou Ronghua smiled: "It's just right, General Liu is here!" After speaking, he ordered the next person to serve the food.
A few horses sat outside, and the three of them entered the house and sat down, and after a while, the next person brought a few big dishes such as Baihe meat cake, steamed vegetables with chicken trotters, and roast lamb legs, and then put wine on the table, and Liu Tingju ate and drank a lot, and didn't pay much attention to Zhou Ronghua.
Hanzhong was first occupied by the Shun army, and now it is occupied by the Western army, and the commerce in the city has been seriously damaged, and the restaurants and inns are basically closed.
Zhou Ronghua bought a house at a very low price and invited a few cooks who had nothing to do.
Zhou Ronghua waited for him to eat half a chicken before he picked up the wine glass and said straight to the point: "Hehe~ General Liu, what did I say last time?" ”
Liu Tingju put the chopsticks down, a little unhappy, "Brother Zhou, let's eat first, and then talk after eating!" ”
Zhou Ronghua said with a smile: "Yes, it's me who is anxious." General Liu, am I still not at ease? Come, I'll give General Liu a drink, and I'll do it first. ”
After speaking, Zhou Ronghua raised his head and drank, but Sun Dian on the side was a little annoyed.
The turtle grandson eats and asks for cards, eats a few meals, and collects a lot of things, and when it comes to business, he is vague and official, which is really fucking angry.
Liu Tingju picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then ate a few more bites of food, "When you're full, you go back and wait for me to hear from you first, and I'll tell you about it." ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to get up, and as soon as Sun Youtian was about to speak, Zhou Ronghua kicked him, and then took out a gift box, "General Liu, brother's little meaning." ”
Liu Ting raised his eyes and smiled into a line, and when he received it in his hand, he found that the weight was very light and did not look very valuable, so his face was a little unhappy.
Zhou Ronghua said: "A gold and iron flower belt, it turned out to be a three-grade master's thing, and I asked people to change the pure gold button, which is not valuable, only a few hundred taels, I hope General Liu likes it!" ”
"Haha~" Liu Tingju's face was instantly covered with a smile, and the whole person was like a Maitreya Buddha, "Actually, Brother Zhou wants to see His Majesty, and it is not without a chance." ”
Liu Tingju put the gift box aside, and his attitude changed again.
Zhou Rong smiled: "Do you want to add two dishes again?" ”
Liu Tingju sat down again and said with a smile: "It's still early, so let's eat for a while!" ”
Zhou Ronghua hurriedly poured Liu Tingju a glass of wine, and then took a sip, before he said slowly: "Your handsome man is very inauthentic, and he attacked Jingzhou, and His Majesty and many officials hate your handsome." Now Your Majesty is still angry in your heart, and if you want to repair the relationship, you have to let Your Majesty lose your anger first. ”
"We also know this, I was sent by the marshal, and I will compensate you!" Zhou Ronghua said: "The current situation, presumably the Western Army can also understand, the Qing is as strong as Wei, we are like Shu Han and Eastern Wu, if we don't unite, but attack each other, in the end, we can only cheapen the Qing Army." I'm ready to talk about it openly and honestly, and I think everyone in your country understands this! ”
Zhou Ronghua used his experience of reading the Three Kingdoms.
Liu Tingju said lightly, "Brother Zhou, these truths are useless, Your Majesty doesn't listen to this." Your marshal snatched Xiangyang and attacked Jingzhou, ruining Your Majesty's good deeds, do you think that if you are reasonable, this matter can be passed? ”
Sun Listing couldn't help it, "What does General Liu mean?" ”
"Gotta get something!" Liu Tingju glanced at Wang Dana, not very fond of a young man.
"Isn't there a person in the Western Army?" Sun Listing said angrily.
Liu Tingju was a little displeased, "If you didn't understand people, the Western Army would have attacked Jingzhou a long time ago." ”
Zhou Ronghua stretched out his hand to stop Sun Listing from continuing, and said with a smile: "General Liu, don't mind, and ask General Liu for guidance, what should we prepare in order to meet the emperor of your country." ”
Liu Tingju's expression softened a little, "This matter is easy to do, you prepare a few generous gifts, give one to several ministers, they are relieved, I can help you!" Of course, if you want Your Majesty to feel your sincerity, you have to prepare another gift for Your Majesty, and I will find another opportunity to mention it in front of Your Majesty, and then it will depend on your luck. ”
Zhou Ronghua said: "There is no problem with this, I have already prepared for these, the civil officials are five hundred taels each, plus one literary play, and the military attache will send one thousand taels, plus a war horse." In addition, prepare ten good horses, plus 20,000 taels, and give them to the emperor of your country. ”
"Oh." Liu Tingju said slowly: "That's okay." ”
Zhou Ronghua immediately said: "After the matter is completed, brother, I will prepare three thousand taels, thank General Liu." ”
Liu Tingju nodded with satisfaction, reached out and picked up the gift box on the table, mixed his armpits, and said with a smile: "What, Brother Zhou, you are too polite." Let's settle it first. I've got something to do today, I'll come over and play another day! ”
Zhou Ronghua hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's decided!" I'll send General Liu. ”
After leaving the house and sending Liu Tingju away, Zhou Ronghua wiped the Han water on his forehead, and said to Sun Listing on the side: "The same is true of Prime Minister Dashun Niu at the beginning, I think Daxi will be finished sooner or later!" ”
