Chapter 101: The Central Plains Turmoil

"These things naturally depend on me, and I have just talked to Mr. Limin, and he also thinks it is more appropriate for me to stay. In addition, it is easy to take Yingzhou, but it has to have a name, is this still going according to plan? Zhang Yitai said, but his eyes looked at Zhu Yongji opposite.

Zhu Yongji nodded, and said with a slight smile: "I plan to leave for the south tomorrow and go to Chang'an as soon as possible to investigate the situation, I can only do my best in this matter, whether it can be done or not depends on two words, you have to be prepared in case." ”

"Oh...... Mr. Limin! Why? Zhuang Yi remembered that the last time he talked to him about this, he readily agreed, but now this attitude is actually ambiguous.

"When Lu Long's envoy arrived this afternoon, I came forward to greet him, so I said a few words by the way." Zhu Yongji answered the question.

"Oh...... They didn't ask much about your identity? Did you get any important information? Zhuang Yi couldn't help but perk up and asked curiously.

"Of course I won't say more, it's not that it's important information, but that the situation in the Chang'an court is very bad. In March, the eunuch Tian Lingzi returned to Chang'an today, but after the Huangchao Rebellion, Chang'an had already been dilapidated, in ruins, and the financial situation was difficult. So when it dragged on until July, Tian Lingzi united with Zhu Mei, the envoy of the Suining Jiedu, and Li Changfu, the envoy of the Fengxiang Jiedu, intending to jointly attack Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Jiedu.

But Wang Chongrong has always been an ally with Li Keyong, who is the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, think about it, Chang'an...... I'm afraid it's going to be chaos again, we are a remote place here, and the court is afraid that there is no time to pay attention to it. Zhu Yongji saw that Zhuang Yi was not ashamed to ask, but he was also happy to explain in detail, so he explained the ins and outs of this matter.

In fact, of course, these things are not so simple, Tian Lingzi originally had a holiday with Wang Chongrong, and it was only incidental to seek the benefits of the salt pond. Tian Lingzi also said to Li Yi, the son of today's football: Let the emperor send an edict to transfer Wang Chongrong to Yanzhou to serve as the envoy of Taining Jiedu, Taining Jiedu to make Qi Kerang transfer to Yiwu, and Yiwu Jiedu to transfer Wang Chucun to Hezhong. Because in this way, it is more convenient for him to hold power steadily.

But Wang Chongrong is not good at stubble, he immediately sent someone to tell Li Keyong that the emperor has issued an edict to me, just waiting for you Li Ke to use it, let me kill you with Wang Chucun. He also forged an edict for Li Keyong to see, and lied to him that this was a conspiracy by Zhu Quanzhong, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu.

Because just last year, Xuanwu Jiedu made Zhu Quanzhong attempt to murder Li Keyong, and Li Ke hated Zhu Quanzhong after escaping by luck. And now, the former Huangchao general ogre Qin Zongquan is separating himself as emperor in Caizhou, Henan, turning the hinterland of the Central Plains upside down. Zhu Quanzhong served as the commander of the camp in the northwest of Caizhou, and together with other feudal towns, he crusaded against Qin Zongquan.

Li Keyong immediately believed Wang Chongrong's nonsense, and repeatedly asked for a crusade against Zhu Quanzhong. At this time, Zhu Quanzhong was begging for thieves, and the emperor naturally refused to approve it, and Li Keyu was very angry and decided to send troops to help Wang Chongrong and play against the court. For a time, war clouds were gathering between Gyeonggi and Hedong.

"I see? To put it this way...... The court really can't count on it, what about Youzhou? What do you think Li Quanzhong's reaction will be when he learns that I have taken Yingzhou? "Zhuang Yi has never been very clear about the situation in the Central Plains, so he naturally wants to know more about it at this time.

"I'm thinking, if you are willing to show your sincerity, and then Jizhou Zhao Envoy Jun will take a turn for the better. He, Li Quanzhong, was able to win Yingzhou without spending a single soldier, what is there to dislike, but you have to listen to him from now on. This is not a bad thing for you, at least you can act under the banner of Lu Long, which is also an umbrella. Zhu Yongji said.

"What does Mr. Limin mean you don't have to go to Chang'an?" Zhuang Yi asked a little unwillingly.

"At least now is not the time, if you have to let me go, then I will try my best to run, and by the way, it is good to see the situation in Chang'an." Zhu Yongji said with a smile.

"Haha...... In this case, then I will repair a letter to you, Mr. Lao Limin went to Jizhou to see my father-in-law, you can tell the truth, now there is no need to hide anything. After this matter is completed, I will find another way at that time, and Chang'an will still go. Zhuang Yi said with a slight sigh.

"That's good...... I will wait for your good news in Youzhou, so when will you send the barracks to the state? Zhu Yongji laughed heartily.

"In about half a month, I can't delay it for too long. That's right...... There is another thing, there is a shortage of copywriters around me, and the two disciples of Mr. Limin, why don't you follow me for the time being? Zhuang Yi asked tentatively.

"This ...... They haven't finished their studies yet! Then I'll go back and ask them, and if they're willing to stay, I'll let them come to you tomorrow morning." Zhu Yongji said, and immediately said goodbye and went back. Sooner or later, these two disciples of his will also enter the ranks, and now that they can have this opportunity, it is also a good choice, so it is naturally difficult to refuse.

What's more, the intention of joining the government in his own heart is not ready to move. It's just that over the years, the world has been ****, and the state of the court has been declining day by day, and the style of the Hebei feudal lords has made him even more unpleasant. But Zhuang Yi's situation is different, he is still young, and his career is just starting. Judging from his observations at this time, Zhuang Yi's conduct also recognizes that once he enters the scene, he can participate in decision-making and have a certain right to speak, which is very important.

After Zhu Yongji left, Zhang Yitai also got up to say goodbye, suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Since you have made such a decision, then you shouldn't have offended Lu Long's envoy at the dinner just now!" ”

"This is not offended, they are just a small role, a festival of Yatui, a tooth army waiting, I don't care about it, just take advantage of this excuse to keep them some more time, lest they return to Youzhou too early, then things will not be easy to do!" Zhuang Yi laughed.

"Hey! That being said! You still have to deal with Lu Long, don't underestimate Jiedu Yatui, if he has a bad heart for your good deeds, you will regret it at that time! Zhang Yitai said reproachfully.

"There are gains and losses! When you let them go back, you can just watch and mend the relationship! ”

"How can this gentleman please him? Let's try it when the old man arrives! Zhang Yitai smiled bitterly.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yongji said goodbye to Turus, leaving his two disciples, Zu Xiangrong and Yuan Jingsi, to Zhuang Yi.

Zhuang Yi naturally did not hesitate to use it, took it with him to deal with the copywriting, and expressed his heart to Turles that morning, saying that he was not used to the wind and frost on the grassland, and resolutely took Yingzhou to stand on his own. After thinking about it, I understand that what about the five commanders under King Xi, the power is still in the hands of others, and in the end it is not free. Even if he established his own tribe, he was a Han Chinese, would these Xi people really be willing to obey his control?

Seeing that his mind had been decided, Turus was no longer reluctant, but his original promise to Zhuang Yi was greatly reduced. Borrowing 5,000 cavalry is by no means a trivial matter, and Turles' own Ahui Department is more than 5,000 young and strong, not to mention that the soldiers are used to fight after being lent, and a few can be returned back at that time, if he doesn't return it, this is his own son-in-law, what else can he do? It's really an unknown, so Turus won't be stupid.

It was Zhuang Yi who wore out his mouth, and in the end Turus only agreed to lend him 1,000 young and strong soldiers and 2,000 old and weak soldiers. The only concession is that Zhuang Yi chooses the old and weak soldiers himself, but of course he will choose the thin young soldiers. At the same time, four thousand horses were given to him from the captured horses.

In this regard, Zhuang Yi was also helpless, so he could only passively accept it. Instead, he began to prepare for war intensively, sending Sha Gu to lead 200 people disguised as merchants to Yingzhou to spy on the military situation, and sent Shi Dazhong's younger brother Shi Dali and Kang Zhenghe to lead a ten-person team back to Madu Mountain, and informed Duan Zhongzhong to transfer troops to meet at Wolf Mountain, so that he could assemble with the main force at White Wolf Water and go to attack Yingzhou.
