Chapter 138: Receiving People and Hearts
Xiao Guang, who left, of course, would not give up the credit at his fingertips, and he sent someone to secretly monitor the Liuyun Inn, and at the same time reported the situation here to his boss Li Cheng. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Wei was born as an archer and was extremely strong. The Jin soldiers captured Hebei, and he gathered a large number of fleeing soldiers and civilians in Zichuan, and traveled south, staying in the Jianghuai region. Although Zhao Gou was dissatisfied with him, the Great Song army was already stretched thin to fight against the Jin soldiers and pacify the mob, so in desperation, he rewarded Li Cheng with the Jianghuai area.
Li Cheng knew very well that the people he brought had no chance of winning against either the Jin soldiers or the Song soldiers. So he accepted the reward of the imperial court, and became the highest official in the Jianghuai area of the Great Song Dynasty - the Jianghuai pacification envoy.
Although he accepted the reward of the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, in private, Li Cheng and Ben did not take the Great Song Dynasty seriously, and still went their own way, and completely became the emperor of the Jianghuai area.
Although many officials have reported Li Cheng, the Great Song Dynasty is now worried about internal and external troubles, and he is unable to conquer Li Cheng. In the end, the court had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let Li Cheng toss.
Regarding Xiao Guang's report, Zhao Shuo had already guessed it. It can be seen from Xiao Guang's support of Jimu that Xiao Guang is a person who is eager for quick success, and now that Zhao Shuo has crossed his legs, he will never give up.
So after Xiao Guang left, Zhao Shuo's originally smiling face became serious. "Chu Jiu, how are the preparations I asked you to make?"
"Tell the prince, before arriving in Jiangzhou, the last general has already passed your words to Lieutenant Ju and Lieutenant Shi, presumably the team that came to meet should not be far from Jiangzhou." Zhang Chujiu replied.
It turned out that after Zhao Shuo found the ships transporting officers and soldiers on Poyang Lake, he secretly asked Zhang Chujiu to contact Juzheng, Shi Zong and others. Let them send a team to Jiangzhou to meet the generation in case of emergency.
Now it seems that this decision was too right.
"In that case, you should go and inquire now, and come back to report to me as soon as you have any news." Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Chujiu bowed and left.
"Lord Wang, those sneaky people outside, do you want to ......" Gonggong Feng made a head-killing motion.
Zhao Shuo shook his head. "Don't do it for now, so as not to startle the snake." Scratching his nose, he said again. "Send a few men to keep an eye on them."
"Yes!" After Gonggong Feng saluted, he turned to look at Mu Chun. "Brother Mu Chun, we are understaffed, so I'm sorry for you."
Although Mu Chun was dissatisfied, he still sent the family nursing home behind him.
"Lord Wang, what you asked me to do, Mu did it." Mu Chun exhaled a few breaths of turbidity. "Mu wants to ask, my brother Jiang Jing?"
"If this king is not mistaken, Jiang Jing should have written you a letter asking for help!" Zhao Shuo stared at Mu Chun and asked.
"This, how does the prince know?" Mu Chun was stunned. He didn't tell anyone this secret, but Zhao Shuo obviously knew. What the hell is going on? Mu Chun couldn't figure it out.
"Anything I want to know, I know." Zhao Shuo replied with a smile and a little mysterious.
Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Mu Chun understood that there was no need to hide it. "As the prince said, Jiang Jing did give me a letter of thanks."
"He was originally living well in Tanzhou, but because he was relatively close to Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi traitors of the Dongting Lake generation, the imperial court has been sending people to keep an eye on him. Of course, Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi did send someone to contact him. A few days ago, the imperial court suddenly made a decree and once again invited Jiang Jing to assist the imperial court. Zhao Shuo paused and looked at Mu Chun, who was shocked. I guess you've also received a call from the imperial court. ”
Mu Chun had already been suppressed by Zhao Shuo's words, and nodded in a wooden voice.
"Jiang Jing didn't want to serve the imperial court, and he didn't want to defect to Zhong Xiang and Yang Mi, so he left Tanzhou and wanted to come to you to discuss it." Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo sighed. "Alas! But his life was not good, and when he passed through Liuyang, he was caught by Liu Zhong's people. At this time, Liu Zhong was ready for a rebellion. Although Jiang Jing was not happy, Liu Zhong still played his banner. As a result, there was the fact that Liu Zhong and Jiang Jing rebelled. ”
"Lord Wang, this~, you know this?" Mu Chun opened his mouth, surprised beyond measure, and didn't know what to say.
"This king has already sent someone to rescue Jiang Jing, and it won't be long before you can be reunited in the army." Zhao Shuo said lightly.
"That~" Mu Chun thought about it, arched his hand, and saluted. "Thank you, if the prince is sent in the future, he will never give up."
Zhao Shuo shook his head. "This king has always respected the heroes of Liangshan, so he always wants to gather you all around." Sighing, Zhao Shuo continued. "However, after today's events, this king has changed his mind."
Mu Chun was completely stunned, and he didn't understand what Zhao Shuo was going to say.
"When the king was in Hangzhou, he visited the Wudu head of the Liuhe Temple, and wanted to invite him to come west together, but the head of the capital had lost an arm, and the king couldn't bear it in the battle. So, Lin Feng, the son of the head of the Lin sect, was summoned. Then, he wanted to recruit Ling Zhen when he was recruiting refugees, but the imperial court sent his son Ling Yun over. Seeing the head of the Mu family today, this king suddenly felt that this king seemed to be wrong. Zhao Shuo said slowly. This king wants to gather the heroes of Liangshan, but he never thinks that after that bloody and tearful expedition, you don't want to be involved in the war anymore. ”
"Alas!" With a long sigh, Zhao Shuo continued. "You should spend your old age in peace, the court owes you too much."
"Lord Wang!" The corners of Mu Chun's mouth twitched slightly, and two lines of hot tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.
"This king will not force you, but you should also know that even if you want to live your old age in peace, the current court will not allow it." After a pause, Zhao Shuo said again. "This king has an idea, maybe a little selfish, but this king will feel better in his heart by doing this."
Mu Chun took a deep breath, did not speak, and looked at Zhao Shuo quietly.
"This king will gather all the living heroes of Liangshan, and then arrange a mansion for you, so that you can spend your old age in peace. In this way, the king thinks, you should not be lonely. The corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth rose and he laughed.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Mu Chun couldn't cry.
"You don't have to thank me, this can be regarded as the court's compensation to you. After all, it was the imperial court that was sorry for you back then. After Zhao Shuo finished speaking, he turned around and looked out the window.
Quiet, there was only a heavy wheezing sound in the quiet room, and after a quarter of an hour, Mu Chun suddenly fell to his knees. "The prince is very loving, although Mu is old, he still has some uses......"
Hearing Mu Chun speak, Zhao Shuo suddenly turned around and helped him up.
"Lord Wang!" Looking at Zhao Shuo, Mu Chun said in a deep voice. "Mu is willing to be a pawn under the prince and die without regrets."
"This, you can't ......," Zhao Shuo waved his hand again and again.
"Hasn't the prince already arranged Mu's life in his old age?" Mu Chun smiled. "In order to achieve that kind of life, let Mu also contribute."
Hearing Mu Chun say this, Zhao Shuo pondered for a long time and nodded. (To be continued.) )
