Chapter 319: Bitterness
Zhao Kai left here, and all the Jingzhou civil and military officers under his command did not make a sound, no matter whether they knew the reason or not, they did not dare to provoke the two at will at this moment. After all, Zhao Kai and Fu Quan, the two bigwigs who are now in turmoil, are the existence that these people can't provoke, and Zhao Kai is their top boss, and now Zhao Kai is obviously very bad with Fu Quan, and they are really in a dilemma between the two.
However, this is the case, there are Jingzhou officials who do not believe in evil, and take the initiative to come up and be polite to Fuquan after Zhao Kai left. I saw a middle-aged elder who seemed to be in his thirties and polite, also wearing an ill-fitting armor like Zhao Kai, walked up to Fuquan with a smile on his face and said: "Huiji Yang Jiping has seen the prince, the prince is far away, it is better to go back to the camp to talk, how so?" ”
"That's what I mean, please!" Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that he had just been inexplicably instigated, Fu Quan replied respectfully, and stretched out his hand to invite Yang Jiping to go first, and then followed him into the camp, and his attitude was very sincere.
At this time, Fu Quan knew that as an outsider, he had to be more low-key when he came to this Jingzhou territory, but now unexpectedly he had been disgusted by Zhao Kai, the local boss of Jingzhou's assassin history, so he couldn't let other bigwigs in Jingzhou hate him. And this Yang Jiping is one of them, so he didn't put himself on the shelf of the Han Liehou and the Taishou of a county, and even let Yang Jiping enter the camp first as a junior, in order to find a local snake to solve his doubts.
This Yang Jiping is not someone else, it is Yang Xuan, the Lingling Taishou who invited him to rush to aid Exian County, Jiping is his cousin, he is now one of the characters in the Jingzhou army second only to Zhao Kai, the assassin of Jingzhou. Now there is a figure with a high status in the Jingzhou army who invites him to chat, which is naturally undesirable for Fu Quan, after all, if he doesn't understand why Zhao Kai is like this, it is difficult for him to make friends with the civil and military forces of the Jingzhou army.
Entering the camp, I saw the soldiers in the camp walking around, most of them were full of sadness, and Fu Quan secretly said in his heart that something must have happened to the Jingzhou army in Exian County, otherwise it would be impossible to be so without a trace of spirit. And just now I greeted the high-level of the Jingzhou Army, and I didn't find anyone who had an accident, so there is only one possibility that can make them so depressed.
Looking at the county seat of Exian County in the distance, I saw the banner of the rebels standing straight on the city tower, but like the city wall full of messes, the banner flying in the wind was also bloodstained, and it was thought that it had gone through a lot of bloody battles, and the Han army was now so looked, it could not be said that it was a few sieges that failed to capture the city, but lost countless soldiers, causing the morale of the soldiers in the Han army camp to plummet.
As Yang Xuan entered a camp tent near the Chinese army, the camp tent was very simple, except for the collapse of the case, that is, a few piles of bamboo slips on the case made people take a few more looks, which can be seen that Yang Xuan's usual style should be an honest and moral official.
After the soldiers outside the tent brought the tea and retreated, Yang Xuan took a sip of water, and then said to Fu Quan: "The prince is dissatisfied with what Zhao Kai has done, but do you want to ask Yu Xuan?" ”
"But that's the case, I wonder if Yang Lingling can tell me?" Fu Quan didn't think much about it, so he answered clearly, but when he heard Yang Xuan directly call his boss by name, but not "Zhao Jingzhou", he was also puzzled in his heart, after all, he could make his boss very disrespectful in this way, wasn't he afraid that Zhao Kai would know to retaliate against him?
Of course, in fact, Fu Quan directly admitted that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Kai's behavior, and if it spread, people might misunderstand that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Kai, but there were some doubts, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this camp if he didn't ask clearly. After all, I don't know why Zhao Kai is dissatisfied with himself, and he can't have much communication with the Jingzhou army in the battalion, and those Jingzhou officials who are officials under Zhao Kai obviously won't risk offending Shangguan and easily befriend themselves.
After Yang Xuan heard this, he smiled and said, "The prince doesn't know that Zhao Kai is from the Ganling Zhao family? ”
"Ganling Zhao Clan? Zhao Zhong! Fu Quan was puzzled at first, and his mouth was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened and exclaimed, you can't look at it like this, right?
"Since the prince knows, Xuan won't say much, please let the prince be relieved, with the prince's family background, but no one in the Jingzhou army dares to touch the prince and marquis."
Although the words were brief, Yang Xuan's meaning was very clear, and he affirmed the guess in Fu Quan's heart. No wonder this Zhao Kai has targeted himself in various ways since he arrived at the Jingzhou military camp, and he doesn't even want to say a word to himself, it turns out that the problem is here, he is born a mortal enemy with himself, if he doesn't go against himself, who else can he go against him?
That Zhao Kai is from the Ganling Zhao family, and like Fuquan's former boss Zhao Bao, they are all members of Zhao Zhong's clan. It's just obvious that this Zhao Kai doesn't have Zhao Bao's courage and ability, Zhao Bao dared to sever the relationship with Zhao Zhong, and relied on his own ability to become a county guard, but Zhao Kai relied on sycophancy to flatter his own clansman Zhao Zhong and became his henchman in the court.
Since Zhao Kai is a member of the eunuch family, he naturally will not have any good feelings about Fuquan's serious status as a relative. It is speculated that if he hadn't received an order from the imperial court to aid Jingzhou, he would be on an equal footing with Zhao Kai, the assassin sent by the emperor, and because he still had 4,000 soldiers and horses, he couldn't say that he hadn't been targeted by Zhao Kai coldly before he arrived at the camp.
In other words, before entering the camp just now, Zhao Kai was actually respecting himself in his words and deeds, after all, the two of them were destined to be incompatible from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Fu Quan was also a little bitter in his heart, he wanted to rely on meeting with the Jingzhou army, and directly take the other three counties in Jiangxia that were conquered by the thief army with the combined force of the two armies, and then reorganize the army to go to Lujiang to fight a decisive battle with the thief leader Huang Sui, now that this Zhao Kai is his opponent, there is no doubt that this battle will not be easy to fight.
After all, if the relationship between the two commanders of the Han army is not good, can you still expect the two sides of the Han army to work together? Thank God if you don't hold back, I can't say that Zhao Kai will stumble on himself behind his back, Jingzhou supplies his army's food, clothing, ordnance and other logistics, if Zhao Kai does something on these, he really can't deal with it.
After that, Fu Quan and Yang Xuan chatted for a while, only to learn that the reason why Yang Xuan wrote a book to summon him to come to help was because in the unfavorable situation of the war, Zhao Bao never wanted Fu Quan to lead troops to come over to grab merit, even if someone admonished him, he was scolded by Zhao Kai.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Xuan couldn't get used to Zhao Kaiqi, there was a gap between the two, and he wrote a letter to inform Fuquan privately, maybe Fuquan would never have been able to wait for a letter for help. Thinking of this Zhao Kai hating himself so much, Fu Quan couldn't help but secretly say, bitter.
