Chapter 119: Chengdu
At this moment, it is a rainy weather in the distant Chengdu Mansion!
Zhe Yanzhi's mansion welcomed distinguished guests, and Sichuan Xuanfu made Cao Rong come to his home!
The two sat in the hall eating wine and drinking meat, and it didn't take long for both of them to get a little drunk!
"Li Gang is no longer the prime minister, and it won't be long before the position of prime minister will be owned by his father! When the time comes, the position of privy councillor will be vacant! Damn, if I were in Hanzhong, this privy envoy would never be able to escape from my palm! But now, I'm afraid this privy envoy will belong to the eldest brother! Orihiko said with some resentment.
Since the last time he failed to stop the Jurchens, he has fallen out of favor in front of his father! Zhe Keqiu thought that he was brave and unscrupulous, so he sent him to Chengdu, Sichuan!
At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he drank even more!
Cao Rong next to him was also inconvenient to speak at the moment! Cao Rong's sister married Zhi Yanwen, speaking of which, Cao Rong and Zhi Yanwen have a closer relationship, and Cao Rong naturally hopes that Zhi Yanwen will sit in the position of privy envoy!
"Father is really old and confused, he wants to marry his sister to that faint king! It's ridiculous to the extreme! After a while, Zhi Yan scolded again.
"Second son, Lord Zhe married Miss to His Majesty, naturally he also has his considerations! At that time, Lord Zhe will be His Majesty's father-in-law and the father-in-law! Now His Majesty is only eleven or twelve years old, and he can't handle state affairs in person, and His Majesty has no other relatives, so only Lord Zhe can handle state affairs for him! In this way, even if Lord Zhe is authoritarian, it is justified, and the people of the world will not say anything! Cao Rong said.
"Humph! The little emperor, he is not worthy of my sister at all! Orihiko asked.
For this sentence, Cao Rong agrees with it unusually! In Cao Rong's view, Zhao Chen is indeed mediocre to the extreme, how can an emperor who only knows how to be a carpenter every day be worthy of a well-known talented woman and beauty in the northwest? Zhe Yueru has a great reputation in the northwest, and the big families in the northwest know that the young lady of the Zhe family is naturally beautiful, talented, and virtuous, such a woman is the object of the yearning of countless big families, and now she wants to marry that faint king!
"Master Cao, what do you say about Li Ruoshui? When my father sent us to Sichuan, let us keep a good eye on Li Ruoshui! Orihiko said again.
"Li Ruoshui is just a scholar, and he has no words! In the past six months, he has spent most of his time pacifying the people, or repairing water conservancy, which is really ridiculous! In such troubled times, he has such a mind! Cao Rong scoffed.
"Yes, a scholar, insignificant!" Orihiko nodded.
"However, second son, let's beware of Wu Jue and Wu Ling!" Cao Rong said.
"What is there to watch out for with these two? The two of them were originally just the deputy generals of Jingyuan Road, and their status was low! Later, they just relied on good luck and repelled the Jurchens! Actually, neither of them has any skills, and I never took them seriously! Orihiko said disdainfully.
"The second son still has to be a little careful!" Cao Rong said.
In Cao Rong's opinion, Wu Jue and Wu Ling can defeat the Jurchens, and they must have a certain ability! As for the person who is Orihiko, he is a complete straw bag! Zhe Yanzhi took 50,000 people to block the Jin Wushu, but he was vulnerable in front of the Jin Wushu, and finally Zhi Yanzhi fled in a hurry, and later Zhi Yanzhi returned to Hanzhong! Zhe Yan is so ashamed, he can't help but continue to remind Zhi Yanzhen!
"The two of them only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I now have 60,000 soldiers and horses, can't I stop them?" Orihiko said disdainfully.
"Second son, as far as I know, these two people are also recruiting soldiers in Yuzhou! Now they are afraid of only one or two thousand soldiers and horses! Cao Rong said.
"One or two thousand soldiers and horses? That's nothing! I'll write to my father in a few days and ask him to send me more soldiers and horses! If it really doesn't work, we'll send troops over now and exterminate both of them!" Orihiko asked.
"No!" Cao Rong said hurriedly.
"Why not?" Orihiko said.
"It's the New Year, the second son wants to have a good New Year, how can he spend his energy on them?" Cao Rong said.
"Hahahaha, you're right! Ben Gongzi doesn't want to waste time and energy on them, so let them have a little more leisure! Orihiko laughed.
He has just found a few peerless beauties during this time, and he hangs out with those beauties every day, and he really doesn't have the time and energy to clean up Wu Jue and Wu Ling!
Cao Rong secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead! In Cao Rong's opinion, Zhe Yanzhi doesn't have much ability, he can't hold Sichuan by relying on Zhe Yanqian, he still has to rely on Wu Yu and Wu Ling to defend Sichuan, how can he let Zhi Yanzhi attack Wu Yu and Wu Luan?
Seeing that Zhi Yanzhi no longer mentioned this matter, Cao Rong was also relieved!
"When I wait until the end of the year, I will come up with a way to restrict Wu Yu and Wu Xuan! If these two people can be used by the adult, it will be the best! Cao Rong drank a glass of wine and said secretly.

Cao Rong and Zhe Yanzhi are drinking here, and in Li Ruoshui's mansion, which is three miles away from here, Li Ruoshui also welcomed distinguished guests today!
Cao Rong and Zhe Yanzhi would never have imagined that Wu Jie would be at Li Ruoshui's house at this moment!
There was no one else in the room except Wu Jie and Li Ruoshui!
The sound of rain outside keeps falling in, the lights in the room are dim, and the two are also discussing big things!
"Lord Li, let's be honest, I now have 20,000 troops under my command! It's just that most of them are new recruits and need to be trained well! Wu Jiedao.
"20,000 soldiers and horses, which is quite good! But it's still too bad to deal with it! Li Ruoshui said.
"You can ask for a strong army, but you can't deal with it! But I can still deal with the waste of Orihiko! Wu Jiedao.
"The general didn't lie to me?" Li Ruoshui said a little unbelievingly.
In Li Ruoshui's opinion, Wu Jie's troops are still too small, and Zhe Yanzhi has 60,000 troops stationed all over Sichuan, how can he fight Zhe Yanzhen?
"Naturally, I'm not lying to you! In fact, I don't need too many troops, only 10,000 people, and I can take down Orihiko! The remaining 10,000 people are enough to go north to occupy Jianmen Pass, cut off the connection between Sichuan and Hanzhong, and make it impossible for the Zhejia army of Sichuan and Hanzhong to support each other! Wu Jiedao.
"Unfortunately, what if the connection between the two places is severed? Your Majesty is in Hanzhong after all, in the hands of the foldable one! Li Ruoshui said.
"Yes! If you want to rescue Your Majesty, you still need another chance! Wu Jie nodded and said.
In fact, when he first came to Sichuan, Wu Jie and Wu Ling had already made contact with Li Ruoshui, and the two had already promised to be loyal to Zhao Chen! During this period of time, the two of them have also been working hard for the "Qingjun side"!
"I heard that Lord Li Gang has been demoted to Chencang County, I am going to go to Chencang County in person to visit Lord Li and see what arrangements Master Li has!" After a while, Wu Jiedao.
"Huh? Are you going to go to Chencang County in person? The time required for this back and forth is only very long! Li Ruoshui said.
"That's no way! This matter involves confidentiality, it is a matter of national society, and I can't hand it over to anyone else! In addition, I am going to Hanzhong for a while, and it is best to meet Your Majesty! Wu Jiedao.
"If you want to see Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's difficult!" Li Ruoshui said.
"Either way, give it a try!" Wu Jiedao.
Late that night, Wu Jie did not rest, he said goodbye to Li Ruoshui, and went to the north alone, the rain was very heavy, but he didn't pay attention to it, and let the rain wet his body! He is a peerless famous general, and his personal martial arts cultivation is also extremely powerful! Rain is nothing!

This night, in the palace, Zhao Chen fell asleep with mixed feelings!
Today in the Baohe Palace, he was humiliated! At that time, his mood was already calm, but at the moment he was a little churning!
"Li Gang, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Wu Jue, Wu Luan, these people are all peerless figures! When it comes to the name of the Hereafter, each of them must be better than the bargain! With so many of them combined, can't they fight for more than one compromise? I will definitely be able to fight! What I need is forbearance, paralysis, and then wait for them to contact me, and then look for a good time! I also have an important person like Kang An next to me to do internal response, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to kill and ask for it, without any suspense! Zhao Chen secretly comforted himself!
It's just that in the middle of the night, Zhao Chen was still angry and woke up.
So he rolled over and sat up and began to meditate! It wasn't until early in the morning that he got out of bed and headed outside!
