Chapter 230 - Multi-party Liaison and Counting Boats (7)

Zuo Youxian personally escorted a team of 1,000 catties of pig iron on the way to Luoyang. In advance, Zuo Youxian sent his henchmen to Luoyang with the edict given to him by the Turks, and informed Wang Shichong to prepare for hospitality and reception:

"Zuo Ah Si, you go to Luoyang, be careful all the way, and don't reveal your identity when you don't see the king of Luoyang." Zuo Ah Si was an orphan adopted by Zuo Youxian when he was a Taoist priest, and after Zuo Youxian became an official, Zuo Ah Si immediately returned to the vulgar and became Zuo Youxian's attendant, and was Zuo Youxian's henchman.

"Lord Xiangguo, you sent the villain to Luoyang to contact, the villain understands, but what the villain doesn't understand is why you should be cautious when you ask the villain to contact, but you want Wang Shichong of Luoyang to respond to you with great fanfare after receiving the news?" Zuo Youxian patiently explained to Zuo Ah Si:

"Ah Si, you are still young, and you don't know that fashionable people are sinister. This 10,000 catties of pig iron is a big fat meat in the eyes of others, the Turks are skilled in bows and horses, and the separatist forces in the north of the Central Plains are all connected with the Turks, so no one dares to move the Turkic two thousand catties of pig iron, Dou Jiande of Le Shou is located in Shandong, holding the power of salt, the economic lifeline, no one dares to touch his share, even if someone moves, this is Liu Wuzhou's territory, it is none of my business. The 6,000 catties sent back to King Wu were personally escorted by Wu Liuyi, he was strong in martial arts, and what I was really worried about was the 1,000 catties sent to Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong is the weakest among the many forces, the foundation is the most unstable, and his 1,000 catties are the most unsafe, so I want you to stand up first, remember, you must hand over the letter I wrote to Wang Shichong, and ask him to send someone to answer it as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Zuo Ah Si took the order and left. Zuo Youxian took the team to walk slowly on the road, every day, Zuo Youxian was scared, Zuo Youxian himself knew that this time Liu Wuzhou was miserable, Liu Wuzhou would not let go of himself easily, when Zuo Youxian wanted to take the initiative to escort a thousand catties of pig iron to Liu Wuzhou's ears, Liu Wuzhou took the initiative to find Zuo Youxian to discuss:

"Lord Zuo, are you still used to living in my horse these days?"

"Ahh Thanks to the prince of Dingyang for caring so much, the food here is good, the accommodation is good, and there are people who make beds and quilts for me at night, warm the bed and sleep, and I am still used to living in the next few days. Thank you for the arrangement. ”

"Where, where! These are all things that I, as a host, should do. Liu Wuzhou stared at the thousand catties of high-grade pig iron that Zuo Youxian wanted to transport away.

"Ugh! The target of this thousand catties of pig iron is huge, is it appropriate for Lord Zuo to escort only these three or five hundred people? "Zuo Youxian's heart tightened. How? Liu Wuzhou: What is this going to do? What are Liu Wuzhou's intentions? Zuo Youxian didn't dare to show suspicion, and said to Liu Wuzhou:

"Don't worry too much about the prince of Dingyang, although these three or five hundred people are small, they are all veterans of many battles in our country, who doesn't have a few scars on their bodies!"

"Yes! Wu Yue's infantry is brave and good at fighting, and the world is famous! However, the goal of this thousand catties of pig iron is too big after all, and now the world is not good, there are many thieves and bandits, and these three or five hundred people are probably not enough! Yikes! Chen Weiming, come here. With Liu Wuzhou's shout, a sturdy general in his thirties hurriedly ran over:

"Subordinates see the prince!" Liu Wuzhou introduced to Zuo Youxian:

"Lord Zuo, this is my former personal guard, and later this king sent him to the army for training, and now he is an official and a partial general, and he is also a brave general on the battlefield. This king asked him to lead two thousand strong soldiers to escort with Lord Zuo, and come back when he arrives in Luoyang, Chen Weiming, you hurry up and come over to see Lord Zuo! The sturdy general immediately knelt down in front of him leisurely:

"Humble to see Lord Zuo! Please take care of me in the future! "Zuo Youxian understood Liu Wuzhou's intentions, he took a deep breath, 'It turns out that his Liu Wuzhou's intention is here, first escort with me, and then as soon as he leaves his Liu Wuzhou's territory, he will kill me, fortunately, I sent someone to send a letter to Wang Shichong in advance, but I still can't take it lightly, it's not a trivial matter to lose my life!" When I said this in my heart, I didn't dare to show half a point on my mouth.

"That's great! It's still thoughtful and thoughtful to the prince of Dingyang! As the escort team got closer and closer to Shanxi and Luoyang's Wang Shichong's territory, Zuo Youxian's heart became more and more unconfident. Zuo Youxian began to slowly slow down his pace.

"Ugh! It's about to go to the territory of Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang, everyone sits down and rests! Zuo Youxian said that everyone should take a break, and at the same time thought that the soldiers on his side made eyes, suggesting that they should step up their precautions. Chen Weiming walked in front of him leisurely:

"Lord Zuo, why did you stop again?" Zuo Youxian looked up at the sun in the sky. Said to Chen Weiming:

"General Chen! Look at the sun in the sky, it is so poisonous, everyone is tired of walking, let everyone rest well, and sympathize with subordinates is a compulsory course for our superiors! "Chen Weiming thought to himself, 'Hmph! What kind of sympathy for subordinates, you just want to stall for time, but no matter how much you delay, you will die! Chen Weiming recalled the scene when Liu Wuzhou summoned him in Mayi:

"The last general will see the prince!"

"Hmmm! General Chen, please get up! ”

"The last general has thanked the prince!"

"General Chen! You have followed me for many years, tell me, how this king treats you? ”

"The last general was originally a civilian, thanks to the prince's refusal to abandon it, used as a personal soldier, and simply promoted the last general to serve in the army, and has been promoted, the prince's great kindness, the last general is unforgettable!" Liu Wuzhou was very happy when he heard Chen Weiming's confession. Liu Wuzhou lifted Chen Weiming up from the ground.

"General Chen, on that day, you also saw that Zuo Youxian relied on the prestige of the Turkic Khan, humiliated the king, and extorted 10,000 catties of high-grade pig iron from the king when he left, so the king wanted to take revenge on the Zuo Youxian who didn't know whether he was alive or dead." Liu Wuzhou himself didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for Liu Wuzhou himself wanting to blackmail Fu Gongtuo into taking Zuo Youxian hostage, Zuo Youxian would not have taken the opportunity to make trouble and humiliate Liu Wuzhou, but Liu Wuzhou himself wouldn't think so, Chen Weiming immediately understood:

"Lord Wang, the last general was also at the scene that day, that Zuo Youxian was really hateful, and the last general's heart was also very uncomfortable. Please rest assured, the last general will definitely pull off the head of that dog's day and give you the night pot. Hearing Chen Weiming say this, Liu Wuzhou's heart was even more happy:

"Good! Very good! General Chen is really a pillar of talent under this king, a loyal minister and a righteous man! Remember, no matter what, you can't do things on the ground of my Shanxi, and you must not let others keep their eyes on the land of my Shanxi. ”

"Yes! The last general understands what the prince means! The last general swore to the prince that if the last general couldn't complete this matter, he would definitely come to see him! Liu Wuzhou nodded and waved his hand to let Chen Weiming go down.

Chen Weiming thought of this, looked at the surrounding environment again, and found that the terrain here was empty, Chen Weiming said in his heart: "Hmph! Zuo Youxian, it's not that I'm ruthless, I'm also innocent with you, who wants you to offend someone who shouldn't be offended? When you get to Lord Yama, you can't blame me. As he thought, he reached for the hilt of the saber at his waist. Zuo Youxian and the soldiers under his command also felt the danger, and one by one they also tightened their hands on their weapons, and the battle was about to break out. The atmosphere was a little weird. Suddenly, Zuo Youxian heard:

"Lord Zuo! Look! Someone's coming over there! Chen Weiming immediately withdrew his hand and slashed over there with Zuo Youxian, only to see a large number of cavalry rushing towards Zuo Youxian.

"Everyone hurry up and be on guard, if you don't see the flag, be careful that it's a bandit robbery! Fast! Chen Weiming took the opportunity to pull out his saber, and Zuo Youxian also pulled out his saber. I thought, 'My friend wants to come!' Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die here. Thinking about it, the hand holding the sword kept shaking because of nervousness. The soldiers under Zuo Youxian were also nervous to death, feeling that they might lose their lives here today. Chen Weiming's heart was also very nervous, and he was also thinking in his heart: "I should have killed him earlier, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome, or if this gang of bandits helped me, he would have saved me a lot of trouble!" ’

"Lord Xiangguo, Zuo Xiangguo! Where are you? As soon as Zuo Youxian heard this voice, he immediately became happy.

"Ah Si! I am here! I am here! Zuo Ah Si heard Zuo Youxian's shout, and immediately rode his horse to Zuo Youxian's side.

"Lord Xiangguo, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission, this is Lord Shan Xiongxin, the son-in-law of His Majesty Emperor Wang Shichong, Emperor Zhengguo."

"Oh! It turned out to be the concubine of the enlightened emperor! Although Zuo Youxian has always looked down on Wang Shichong in his heart, and on other occasions he has called the king of Luoyang in the past, but now that he is almost in Luoyang, he naturally calls Wang Shichong the enlightened emperor. Shan Xiongxin jumped off his horse and saluted Zuo Youxian.

"Emperor Dazheng's concubine Shan Xiong believes in the order of the Holy Lord to come to greet Lord Zuo." asked Chen Weiming vigilantly:

"Who is this lord?"

"Under the Dingyang throne, Chen is the name."

"Oh! It's a subordinate of the prince of Dingyang! Now that General Ben is here, there is no need for General Chen to escort him here, please go back! "Saying that, Shan Xiongxin held his weapon, Chen Weiming knew Shan Xiongxin's prestige, and he thought about it, knowing that he would not be Shan Xiongxin's opponent, and he was extremely remorseful. This surname Zuo's life is really big. ’

"Since General Shan Xiongxin said, then I will go back to Mayi. Left Xiangguo! General Shan Xiongxin took his leave. After saying that, he took his soldiers and left without looking back. Shan Xiongxin saluted to Zuo Youxian and said:

"Lord Zuo, Wei Chen was ordered by the Holy Lord to come one step ahead to greet Lord Zuo, and the Holy Lord is still behind with a large team of soldiers and horses, I believe it will arrive soon." Two hours later, Wang Shichong also led a large number of troops to come:

"That is Lord Zuo Youxian Zuo!" Zuo Youxian saw Wang Shichong wearing gold chain mail, and said in his heart: "Labor and management have been everywhere, and it belongs to you Wang Shichong's biggest pomp." ’

"The envoy of the Turkic Lili Khan, the governor of Jianghuai, the prime minister of Wu Wang Fugongtuo, Zuo Youxian, has seen the enlightened emperor." Zuo Youxian deliberately hung the Turkic Lili Khan in front, suggesting that Wang Shichong should not despise himself, Wang Shichong was scheming, and naturally he would not be as arrogant as Liu Wuzhou, and tried his best to flatter Zuo Youxian.

"Ahh Lord Zuo, you are really my great savior! I have attacked and fought several times with Li Tang, there is a shortage of weapons, Zuo Xiangguo sent a thousand catties of pig iron just to solve the urgent need of our dynasty, and I heard Zuo A four people said, you heard that my dynasty suffered a salt panic, immediately repair a book, let King Wu send a batch of salt, you are really meritorious! Please bow down to me! As he spoke, he knelt down to Zuo Youxian. Where did Zuo Youxian dare to ask Wang Shichong to kneel down for him, and immediately supported Wang Shichong.

"Why is the emperor so polite, Zuo used to be a cultivator, and cultivators are all compassionate, and they don't want others to suffer, so what should be done at this time. I don't know if the batch of salt has arrived. ”

"Oh! That batch of salt has not yet arrived, please Zuo Xiangguo is repairing a book, urging! ”

"There is no problem, repair the book to King Wu immediately and ask him to speed up." Wang Shichong really gave Zuo Youxian face, and Zuo Youxian naturally wouldn't let Wang Shichong pull down his face. Zuo Youxian immediately repaired another book, let Zuo Ah Si work hard, go to Jinling, and explain to Wu Wang Fugong in the letter, the importance of Wang Shichong, Fugong Tuo did not say a word, immediately shipped 100,000 catties of salt, when 100,000 catties of salt fainted in Luoyang, Wang Shichong was very happy, and carried out a greater woo for Zuo Youxian:

"Lord Zuo, I hit you off at first sight, if you don't think I'm shallow and stupid, how about I want to be a brother with you?" As soon as he heard that Wang Shichong was going to become a brother with him, Zuo Youxian opened his mouth wide in shock!

"This!" Wang Shichong didn't care whether Zuo Youxian objected or not, he directly took his hand leisurely and came to an altar that had been built in the imperial garden, on which the tablet of the emperor's earth had been placed, and the three animals and fruits, Wang Shichong knelt down on the tablet of the emperor's soil and said:

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below. In the next Wang Shichong and Zuo Youxian hit it off at first sight, and today they specially sacrificed it with three animals and fruits, and asked the emperor to testify. I, Wang Shichong, would like to be brothers with Lord Zuo Youxian. After speaking, Wang Shichong bowed respectfully to the altar three times. Zuo Youxian had no choice. also according to Wang Shichong's appearance, he said respectfully to the altar:

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below. In the lower left You Xian and His Majesty Wang Shichong hit it off at first sight, and today they specially sacrificed it with three animals and fruits, and asked the emperor to testify. I, Zuo Youxian, would like to be brothers with His Majesty Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong helped Zuo Youxian up, held Zuo Youxian's hand, and said sincerely:

"Brother Xian! Now that you and I have become brothers, I won't cover anything for my brother, and now I need a wise person like Brother Xian by my side, so please leave Brother Xian to assist. Zuo Youxian also held Wang Shichong's hand and said:

"It's rare for Your Majesty to value it, and the ministers obey the order!" Zuo Youxian said to Zuo Ah Si:

"Ah Si! You are working hard, and said to Wu Wangye that the action can begin, and in addition, he said that the minister will stay in Luoyang now to observe Li Tang's movements in Guanzhong, so that he can react in advance. "In fact, Zuo Youxian mainly wants to see what Li Jiancheng's reaction and countermeasures will be, since Li Jiancheng's measures in Guanzhong helped Li Tang resolve the crisis again and again, Zuo Youxian has a kind of mind to compete with Li Jiancheng, and wants to know who is Sun Bin and Pang Juan between himself and Li Jiancheng. Zuo Ah Si bowed and replied:

"Yes! Obedience! ”

What kind of conspiracy will Zuo Youxian carry out against Li Tang? How will Li Jiancheng resolve the conspiracy? Please see the next breakdown.
