Chapter 374: Face-to-face

Because in Zhao Ziyu's mind, their black-clothed army is already the most powerful rebel army in the world.

In that case, they can now completely replace the Tianwan regime. After annexing the Tianwan regime, it is natural that the political capital left over from the Tianwan regime can be used for its own use.

Anyway, Zhang Shihua's nominal allegiance is Han Lin'er, the son of Han Shantong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the north, and there is no half-dime relationship with the Tianwan regime in the south, even if the Tianwan regime is completely annexed, Zhang Shihua cannot be betrayed at all.

However, Zhang Shihua disagreed with such an idea.

Because if this is the case, Xu Shouhui, the nominal emperor of the Tianwan Imperial Court at this time, will also become a hot potato in Zhang Shihua's hands.

Think about it, if Zhang Shihua swallowed up the Tianwan regime with the help of his own strength so simply and rudely, then the so-called Tianwan Emperor, Zhang Shihua naturally couldn't stay.

Because if Zhang Shihua wants to annex it, then the first thing to do is naturally to destroy the country.

But in this case, the negative impact is too great. will destroy the country, Zhang Shihua himself will naturally be hostile to the people who want to end the sky. Similarly, at that time, the rebels from all walks of life will also regard Zhang Shihua and the black-clothed army as flood beasts.

And from the perspective of personal morality, he formed an alliance with others first, and finally betrayed him, Zhang Shihua himself is undoubtedly regarded as a trustless and unrighteous villain.

So in this way, what is gained and what is lost is not proportional at all.

Naturally, the more this is the case, in terms of the alliance between the two, the person who is anxious will not be Zhang Shihua.

No, that is, three days later, Zou Pusheng, who was under house arrest in disguise by the black-clothed army, couldn't help but sit still.

"Hey!" With a long sigh, Zou Pusheng looked at the food on the table, obviously he still didn't move, but he didn't have any appetite at all.

"Why, do you think the food is unappetizing?" A post guard in the post house, seeing Zou Pushengkong looking at the food on the table for a long time, couldn't help but ask with such concern.

"Oh, it's fine. The food was good, but I didn't have an appetite. Hearing the post guard's question, although Zou Pusheng's heart was full of trouble, he was unwilling to show it on his face.

Therefore, when he saw him like this, the post man bowed to him, and then bowed his head and retreated.

And Zou Pusheng over there arrived at this time, and after eating some food like chewing wax, he couldn't help but get up and leave, and returned to the backyard where he lived.

"Taishi, what did you say about Zhang Shihua's idea in his heart. We've been here for a few days, but why hasn't he seen us yet? In the backyard, Ming Yuzhen, who had been under house arrest for three days in disguise by the black-clothed army, was already very impatient.

Because after Zou Pusheng returned to the backyard, Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but follow and asked Zou Pusheng.

"Don't worry, calm down, I think he Zhang Shihua just wants to use this method to dry us for a few days, and then take the initiative to the greatest extent in the future." At this time, Zou Pusheng's heart did not have much confidence.

But in the face of Ming Yuzhen, who was several years younger than him, Zou Pusheng still tried his best to pretend to be confident.

After all, he is the chief envoy of the mission, and if even he is panicked now, then the people in the mission will really be panicked.

Therefore, seeing Zou Pusheng's appearance, although Ming Yuzhen's heart was still restless, it was much better than just now.

So at this time, he couldn't help but bow to Zou Pusheng, ready to retreat and appease the soldiers under his command. These people in the province are making some kind of mess because they are panicking.

But then, at this very time, one of his soldiers came over in three steps and two steps.

"Master Qiyu, General Qiyu. The fat prefect who came a few days ago is here again today, and now he is walking to the backyard. Stepping to the door, facing Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen, the soldier couldn't help but be busy.

"Great, Master. It seems that Zhang Shihua is ready to meet us. Suddenly, hearing the words of his subordinates, Ming Yuzhen's face couldn't help but show a smile that could not be concealed.

However, at this time, compared with Ming Yuzhen's undisguised joy, Zou Pusheng, as the main envoy, was much more reserved at this time.

Although at this time, he Zou Pusheng was also very happy in his heart. But he just smiled, then tidied up his clothes, and then took Ming Yuzhen out of the room with a posture that was not arrogant or impatient.

"Hahahaha, I've seen two noble envoys. Two noble envoys, are you still used to living here in the past two days? Over there, Zhou Sijiu, who was born wide and fat, when Lang Xiao walked into the backyard, he saw Zou Pusheng and Ming Yuzhen, who came out of the room and greeted him in the backyard, so he couldn't help but bow to the two, and then greeted him knowingly.

"It's fine." For Thursday Jiu's knowingly question, Zou Pusheng's face was not unhappy. At this time, he still said very indifferently: "The conditions of the post house are still good, and they are used to living in it." However, 'the food of the king, the worry of the king'.

We waited for the emperor's order, but we couldn't see Zhang Pingzhang as soon as possible, but I was also very panicked in my heart. ”

Zou Pusheng said this, and couldn't help but euphemistically express his dissatisfaction with Thursday Jiu.

However, Thursday Jiu was also thick-skinned, and he didn't care at all about Zou Pusheng's complaints, and even as if he hadn't heard them, he still smiled at this time: "The two noble envoys are at ease." Tomorrow my lord will be free, so early tomorrow morning, your envoy will go to the marshal's mansion and be in front of my lord. ”

"Oh!" At this time, suddenly hearing Zhou Jiu's words, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but be moved.

"That's great. To be honest, for Zhang Pingzhang, the two of us really yearn for it, I just can't wait to see it soon! Zou Pusheng said this, and he couldn't help but compliment Zhang Shihua in front of Thursday Jiu.

"Haha, my father-in-law is a rare heroic husband in the world, and it is normal for your envoy to have this heart." But Zou Pusheng didn't expect that in the face of his compliments, Zhou Jiu, a very thick-skinned guy, actually followed his words and flattered his lord.

So in such a situation, Zou Pusheng could only smile and say nothing, not knowing what to say.

"Hehe, I've already brought the news. In this way, the two noble envoys will also prepare, and they will be able to leave the post house and go to the Marshal's Mansion at the beginning of tomorrow. Okay, I still have some business to attend to, so I'll take my leave. ”

Over there, Thursday Jiu said like this, and he didn't stay here for long, so he couldn't help but bow to the two of them again. Then, under the eyes of Zou Pusheng, he turned around and left here.

Then, when Thursday and Jiu left, Zou Pusheng over there couldn't help but sigh and ordered: "Okay, let's prepare now." Wait until tomorrow. is about to meet Zhang Shihua, the generalissimo of the black-clothed army. ”

......

The next day, the next day. Before dawn, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but get up early in the morning.

To be honest, after so many days, especially after having a general understanding of the black-clothed army, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but feel a faint sense of nervousness about the Zhang Shihua he was about to meet.

Although it has been said that after so many years, he Zou Pusheng is definitely well-sighted. But like Zhang Shihua, who has saved such a big foundation in the world of cannibalism at such an age, and who will also manage the foundation under his rule so well, he Zou Pusheng has really never seen one.

You must know that Zhang Shihua is only twenty-three years old now.

is only twenty-three years old, for Zou Pusheng, who is nearly forty years old, he is just a child who has just reached the crown, and he is completely a figure of his own generation of children and nephews.

But such a person has miraculously risen to this extent in just three years.

It can be said that if he hadn't seen all this with his own eyes, Zou Pusheng would never have believed it.

After all, it's simply legendary. If you think about it, you know that in an environment like the end of the Yuan Dynasty, you can be born at the bottom and mix well. A character like this, the one who doesn't have a few brushes.

But in the face of such a group of people, Zhang Shihua, who is only in his twenties, can single-handedly recover and suppress them, and the depth of such a person's city and ruthlessness can be imagined.

So at this time, Zou Pusheng was sincerely willing to form an alliance with Zhang Shihua.

Therefore, only in this way will Zhang Shihua not regard their Tianwan Imperial Court as his goal. And as long as Tianwan forms an alliance with Zhang Shihua at this time, it will be possible to make a comeback and return to the peak of the year.

So under such gains and losses in his heart, how could Zou Pusheng not be nervous.

However, at this time, no matter what Zou Pusheng thought in his heart, under the quiet passage of time, at the first moment of the hour (seven o'clock in the morning), he couldn't help but take people to the post house, wearing the official uniform of the Tianwan Imperial Court, and rode towards the marshal's mansion in the city.

……

"Tianwan Taishi Zou Pusheng, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor Tianwan, is willing to come here to form a brotherly alliance with Marshal Zhang. I've seen Marshal Zhang. "Xiangyang City, in the front hall of the Marshal's Mansion where Zhang Shihua is located. At this time, almost all the civil and military generals who could rank in the black-clothed army came here.

Therefore, under the watchful eyes of these people, Zou Pusheng looked at the young man who was sitting on the main seat, and the young man who was born was majestic and heroic, and he couldn't help but say in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant. And in the end, as a messenger who represented Xu Shouhui at this time, he couldn't help hugging his fists at Zhang Shihua and making a similar salute.

"Haha" But for this, at this time, Zhang Shihua, who has never left his seat, has no intention of returning the courtesy.

After Zou Pusheng gave him a peer salute, he just chuckled, then looked at Zou Pusheng in the hall, and said in a playful tone: "Xu Shouhui, oh, no." It's His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Heaven, and I've heard of it a long time ago.

I remember that when I first heard about the deeds of Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Heaven, I really thought that I was just a deputy Wanhu. Therefore, at that time, I really longed for your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Heaven to be honest.

As you all know, I, Zhang Shihua, came from a humble background. The reason why the army rose against the Yuan at the beginning was only out of righteous indignation. So, Mr. Zou, you said that you thought that such a character would form a brotherly alliance with your Emperor Majesty, how could I climb high? ”

At this time, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, said in a light tone. On the surface, it seems to be modest, but the meaning of the words is obviously clear.

That is, Xu Shouhui and I, who were getting worse and worse at the beginning, are both brothers, so he is really unworthy.

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Shihua's words, Zou Pusheng in the hall couldn't help but look a lot uglier.

To tell the truth, he and Zhang Shihua are brothers, and he came up with it in the first place. After all, Xu Shouhui is much older than Zhang Shihua in terms of age, and after forming a brotherly alliance with Zhang Shihua like this, Xu Shouhui, as a brother in name, can also protect the last bit of dignity of their Tianwan Kingdom in the past.

However, it was unthinkable, and Zhang Shihua did not agree at all.

But also, in this world of chaos and great controversy, it is the strong man who is the king. At this time, Zhang Shihua is far superior to them in all aspects in terms of strength, so why should he be subordinate to you in name when forming an alliance.

Thus, in the face of such a situation. After Zou Pusheng was slightly silent for a moment, he couldn't help but say: "Since the general started his army, he has chased the Tartars and eliminated the grievances. In just three years, it made the Yuanmeng Tartars frightened.

Moreover, the people under the rule of Xiangjing can have their fields, those who live in their homes, those who are poor can have their clothes, and the poor can afford to eat. It also makes the military and civilian people under his rule have their old age, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, widows, lonely and sick people have all been supported.

The general's exploits are really comparable to the overlords of the late Qin Dynasty. Therefore, for the general, my majesty the emperor of the Tianwan Dynasty is also yearning for him. Therefore, after De'an was attached and the road was smooth, he became brothers with different surnames. I really can't think that His Majesty the Emperor of my Tianwan Dynasty will be abrupt because of this.

However, I really didn't dare to hide it from the general. For the general, my Majesty the Emperor of the Tianwan Dynasty is really a sincere friend. And I'm also willing to form offensive and defensive allies with characters like you, general, at this time. Expelled the Tartars and contributed to the Han people of the world. ”

I have to say that Zou Pusheng is really good at arguing and is used to seeing the wind and waves. With such remarks, while slapping Zhang Shihua's ass, he couldn't help but give each of them a step down.
