Zhao Dezhao said goodbye to Yan Zhehui and went to the south of the city again, and was very pleased to see Zhao Kuangmei doing things very hard. That night, after closing, the wind outside has been blowing, and it has been blowing all night, and it has not stopped. Zhao Dezhao and the others went up to the wind and took the car home. In this day, Zhao Dezhao did several things, and after a day of dealing with it, he was very busy, and after going back, he was so tired that his skeleton was loose, and Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Kuangmei complained about their work.
In the house, the two of them tonight are in Zhao Dezhao's room.
Zhao Dezhao loosened his shoulders, sighed and said: "Alas, I am so young, but unfortunately it is destined to be a hard life, if it goes on like this, this small body will be tossed and scattered, and it is not good for my growth and development if it goes on like this." β
Zhao Kuangmei lay down on one side, too lazy to say, and said: "What I do is hard work, I haven't done rough work since I was a child, and now I can't bear it after only two days, I won't do it tomorrow, I can't bear it, Zhao'er should ask another masterββ"
Zhao Dezhao heard Zhao Kuangmei say that he would not do it, and said unhappily: "Yo Yo Yo - what are you shouting about bitterness, but I have been working for two days, I have been doing this for a few years, and I don't feel bitter." Who swore in my ear this morning, how did it become invalid at night, are you not afraid of being struck by lightning? β
Zhao Kuangmei said: "Forget it, forget it, it's okay to be killed by thunder." β
Zhao Dezhao continued: "I don't care about you, you can do whatever you like." I just feel that doing so is hindering my growth. We're not stout guys in our twenties. But then again, where can I find the person who works in place of me for a while, less than a few months after the opening of Guangwei Building, Bai Gucheng accepted the big thing of Guangwei Building, I am just a chairman, just a decision-maker, and now Bai Gucheng has been gone for so many days, and he has not come back. Li Yuanchang and Li San'er can do some trivial things, Tang Hua is in charge of accounting, and the others are cooks, junior and helpers, how can they be up to the task? I'm only five years old now, if only I were one of those twenty-somethings......" Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, and muttered endlessly.
Zhao Kuangmei turned around and said, "I'...... I ....... my ...... Hey, it looks like we all need help! β
After a period of grumbling, he fell into silence again, and today he was tired after a hard day, but fortunately he fell asleep, regardless of the toil.
β¦β¦
The wind outside the house was blowing very strongly, and the doors and windows that were not closed were swaying with the wind, making a stabbing sound, plopping, a gust of wind hit, the doors and windows were blown loudly, and suddenly a cat "meowed", fell from the attic, and made a terrible scream, and the flagpoles of the shops on the street went for a ride, popping, and the outside world was in chaos.
In the corner of the wall outside the house, the willow trees rustled, the wind was not calm, and people were panicked.
In the inn in the north of the city, there are so many people every night, Lao Jiu sits under Yang Meng, and Wan Song and Lao Jiu's brothers are guarding behind the door outside the house to prevent others from intentionally or unintentionally bumping into the people who are talking inside.
Since coming to Kaifeng, only a few months have passed, but Yang Meng thinks that this trip to Kaifeng is a meaningful trip for his life, because in Kaifeng, he has clearly seen the general trend of the world, the trend of the world, and the vast soup, not for Yaocun, not for the death. He entrusted the next half of his life to the hatred of the country, and he was bound to set off a monstrous wave from the puppet Tang State, and now in Kaifeng City, he saw hope.
Inside the house, Yang Meng and Lao Jiu were silent inside, the candlelight room, shining on the shadows of the two, the wind blew the candle flames up and down, and the figures were reflected on the window paper, at this time the two people who were contemplative inside began to speak.
Lao Jiu, who sat down and sat down, heard the report of the eighth old man of Jinyang in the north, and said worriedly: "Lord, there is a wire report from Jinyang, Guo Rong's army has not been able to attack for a long time, and Xiao Siwen, the upper echelon of the Khitan, sent an army to attack the grain road of the eastern front of the Zhou army, originally the Zhou army could defeat the Khitan cavalry that added to aid the Han State, but the Zhou general Shi Yan was super light on the enemy, and was killed by the Khitan army, dragging down the rear army, at this moment the Zhou Guo Rong army has been stationed outside Jinyang City, I don't know if the emperor of Zhou can take Jinyang City, this matter has been beyond our expectations, I wonder if the Lord's plan is working? β
Yang Meng pondered for a moment, kept silent, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put down the cup in his hand, at this moment he had a strategic ambition in his chest, the twenty years of Changchun Hall all over the world, eyeliner penetrated all over the place, he summarized a little from these news, suddenly got up slowly, turned his back to Lao Jiu, and then said: "Lao Jiu, now the old man is more than fifty years old, and I know the year of destiny." As the saying goes, 'there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people are blessed with misfortune', this matter is difficult to complete, as long as the old eight and the people who are lurking in the Zhou army do it wholeheartedly, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not succeed. But I think that even if I fail, it doesn't matter, as long as Emperor Zhou is safe, it's okay. So Lao Jiu, you don't have to worry about the war in Jinyang, the so-called, 'success is in the people, and the plan is in the sky', even if it is not successful, it can also damage the strength of the Han State. Also, Lao Jiu, don't forget that Emperor Zhou is a big bargaining chip in our hands, his life and death are very critical, heaven and earth are the chessboard, and the sun, moon and stars are chess. We are chess players, but we have a destiny in life and death, and wealth is in the sky, so what can we do? Now the Han State is just relying on the topography of Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain, surviving for a long time, and begging to rely on the Khitan, recognizing the Khitan lord as the father emperor, and harassing the Zhou army with the help of the Khitan cavalry. The Han Lord's plan is nothing more than that, it has not been pinched and pounded in the hands of Guo Que'er for more than three years, if Guo Que'er lives for a long time, I am afraid that the Han Kingdom will definitely perish, and it is our turn to worry about it behind our backs.
Liu Min of the Han State just took advantage of Guo Qi'er's death and the new emperor's position of the Zhou State was not solid, so he invited the Khitan to send troops south, wanting to recapture Kaifeng, the plan was good, but he conspired with the Khitan and the tiger, and worshiped him as the emperor, Shi Jingjiao was the second, it was really shameful, such a person had no backbone. And the Khitan once captured Kaifeng a few decades ago and harassed the people, if it weren't for Feng Dao, I am afraid that the Central Plains would have to fall into the hands of barbarians sooner or later. β
Yang Meng felt very thirsty in his mouth, turned his back, so he picked up the teacup, took a sip, turned his back, and then continued: "Now that the Han and Khitan coalition forces are going south, Guo Rong defeated the coalition army in Bagongyuan, and then waved his army north, wanting to destroy the Han State, this is a good thing, it can be seen that Guo Rong has seen the danger in the north, as long as the crisis in the north is solved, it is possible to attack the rest of the countries in the south." And Zhou Emperor Guo Rong's attack on the Han State has caused great damage to the national strength of the Han State, and the Han State is only 11 states, 100 miles, and the entire border can be crossed in one or two days. However, I look at Guo Rong's ambition is quite big, now in the Gaoping battle, destroy the elite of the Han State, heavy setback Khitan Ruizhi, and then besiege Jinyang for more than a month, although the army can not be attacked for a long time, but Jinyang is like a lonely boat in the sea, the lonely palm is difficult to sing, the Zhou army has become a siege, sooner or later it can still capture Jinyang City. Han Liu Min joined forces with the Khitan again in a panic, the Khitan cavalry harassed the Zhou army behind the first army, and killed Shi Yanchao, who was a light enemy, although it was to relieve the siege of Jinyang, but the Han State was not able to make a comeback within a few years after this war, and the national strength of the Han State was greatly reduced, and the Khitan was just a reckless country, and the Khitan country was a few years ago because of the struggle for the throne, the nobles fought for power and profit, and the contradictions between the nobles were irreconcilable. The state had a rebellion of the Khitan aristocracy, and under the dozen states of Yanyun was the place where the Han people lived. Hu and Han are mixed, and contradictions between various nationalities are continuous. It is difficult for various tribes and ethnic groups to gather together, and now the government is in the hands of a 'sleeping king', and the kings are like this, not to mention the Khitan lower class. I'm afraid that the Han State and the Khitan State will not go south for a while, and in this way, within a few years, the Zhou State will lose the two hostile forces in the north.
The northern crisis of the Zhou State can be cut off, but the pseudo-Tang Dynasty in the south has been expanding its territory in recent years, and the results are there, which shows its ambition, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is the first power in the south, and everyone says, 'Richer than the year, there is more than enough food for the soldiers', but the current puppet Tang lord Li Jing is extravagant, political, cowardly, hobby, and prefers flattery. He often drank and wrote poems with his favorite ministers Han Xizai and Feng Yansi, with Feng Yanji and Chang Mengxi as Hanlin scholars, Feng Yanlu as Zhongshu Sheren, Chen Jue as privy envoys, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenhui as deputy envoys. Chang Mengxi was on duty in the Xuanzheng Palace, specializing in the secret order, while Feng Yanji and others were all treacherous and autocratic, and the Tang people called them the 'five ghosts'.
In the past few years, the 'five ghosts' have created a miasma in the puppet Tang Dynasty, and the officials have complained, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, and the people are uneasy. The land of Chu and Fujian is lost, such a person can only be defended, and the pseudo-Tang lord takes his younger brother Li Jingsui as the emperor's younger brother, Li Jingda as the marshal, and the king of Qi; With his son Li Hongji, the king of Nanchang, as the deputy marshal, he was named the king of Yan, and his son Li Hongji was suspicious and strict, but he was quite talented in military affairs. Li Jingsui and Li Hongji will definitely lay the groundwork for the dispute over the throne of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty in the future.
Looking at the overall situation of the world, the puppet Tang Dynasty has been external to the outside world in recent years, but it has not touched a finger of the Central Plains country, and the puppet Tang lord has been uniting with the Khitan and encircling the Central Plains, wanting to use the power of the north and south to destroy the country of the Central Plains and chase the Central Plains, this plan is really wise and insidious. Now it is different, the Zhou State has no worries about the north, if the Zhou Lord is a man with the same eloquence as Qin Shi Huang, swallowing the world, then the puppet Tang Kingdom will be difficult to stabilize, then the Zhou State army can go south to the fullest, and destroy the puppet Tang Kingdom, then the expectations of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be disappointed, and when the time comes, the fact that the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the first step of our great cause of restoration will be realized. β
Lao Jiu heard Yang Meng's analysis of blocking the general trend of the world, nodded frequently, and felt that the matter was in the hands of the Lord, as soon as Yang Meng finished speaking, he got up from the bottom, and then bowed to Yang Meng for a long time, and said: "The Lord's strategy of destroying Tang in the fake Zhou is really praised." As the Lord expected, then the general trend of the world will be in the hands of the Lord, and the great cause of the Lord's restoration of the country will not be far away. The Lord is wise, and we are willing to go to the soup and fire for the Lord. β
Yang Meng heard Lao Jiu say this, although his face was very excited, but he still felt a little indebted in his heart, but he didn't know if this fire was burning, so he said: "Lao Jiu, I'm just relying on personal conjecture, as for the general trend of the world, I just think so, if this is the case, this fake Zhou to destroy the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely be realized, these twenty years I have been incognito, migrating to various countries, for the sake of national hatred and family hatred, you in order to achieve the goal in my heart, follow me to suffer humiliation, this great favor I Yang Meng remembered, I guess I won't be able to return it to you for the rest of my life. Lao Jiu, you have followed me for more than 40 years, you know my temperament, although this strategy is feasible, but it has taken a lot of effort, I don't want things to come to an end, turn into nothing, like a mirage, you can't see it. β
Lao Jiu said: "The lord is serious, if it wasn't for Emperor Taizu in the past, I'm afraid I would have become a dry bone on the battlefield by now." Later, Emperor Taizu asked my subordinates and me to serve as the Lord's guards, and I have dedicated my life to the Lord since then, so whatever the Lord asked me to do, I was willing. As for the Lord has been worried about the great cause, then there is no need to be so, our people and horses in Changchun Hall must only look forward to the Lord on the horse, swear allegiance to the Lord, and do their best to worry about the great cause of the Lord. β
Yang Meng sighed and said: "In the past quarrying, I was chased and killed by the son of Zhou Ben, and fell into the boiling river, I thought I was going to die in the river, if you didn't fight hard and jump into the red water, I'm afraid the world will not have me Yang Meng, so you are also kind to my Yang family, fortunately, people in the world think that I died in quarrying, so it is much easier for me to do things." In just twenty years, the power of Changchun Hall has taken root in various countries, and when I am here, it is okay, but in case I die. β
"Lord, don't talk nonsense, now that the Lord is in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you sigh so much!" Lao Jiu said again.
Yang Meng's brows were still furrowed at the moment, although he was in his fifties, he looked like he was already an old man in his sixties, and he continued: "Old Jiu, people are going to die after all, but sooner or later." Although I can control Changchun Hall, if after my death, my successor can't control Changchun Hall, then my hard work will be in vain, and in the end, I won't make a wedding dress for others. After I die, who do you think will take over my position in the future, although I am still in good health, but in ten years, twenty years, and a hundred years......"
Lao Jiu listened to the sigh in Yang Meng's heart, and said helplessly: "Your Lord, what you are thinking about is not unreasonable! Lao Jiu is stupid and can't share the big things for the Lord, and Lao Jiu deserves death. β
"Lao Jiu, this is not your fault, you have always been worried about the matter of Changchun Hall, and you have done your best to assist me, I am grateful that you are too late. I'm worried about what will happen to me a hundred years later, my wife is dead, there is nothing to come out of, and there is only one righteous son, but you see that Wan Song's qualifications are only suitable for a general, and courage is still okay when he goes to the battlefield. I'm not saying that Wan Song can't do it, it's just that he has always lived for hatred since he was a child, so he has always learned martial arts, and he thinks that he can run rampant in the world with his martial arts, and this wisdom and strategy is not his specialty. β
"Who, then, does the Lord think has the qualifications to do this?"
Yang Meng turned his back at this moment, facing Lao Jiu, and then looked at the distance outside the house, and said, "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, what does Lao Jiu think?" β
"What the Lord said is ......" When Lao Jiu said this, he deliberately lowered his voice and prolonged his tone, and then smiled on his face, and he didn't know if he guessed Yang Meng's thoughts.
"It seems that Lao Jiu also knows who I am thinking about, but I still don't know how to contact this person, which gives me a headache, although people follow me every day, but I still don't know sure to know this person, his temperament still knows some, it is said that last time he funded a group of disaster victims, and built houses for them, such a person we don't know whether he is benevolent or buys people's hearts, and the rest we also inquired that his family is a military attachΓ©, and his father is now going to Jinyang with Zhou Emperor Guo Rong, It is rumored that the battle of Bagongyuan that day, if it were not for this person's heroic and invincible, I am afraid that the life and death of Emperor Zhou is a problem, our people and horses were originally going to come out to rescue, it is precisely because of this person's courage and resourcefulness that Guo Rong can be stable, and Liu Min's men and horses were killed, I think this person's father is also a great character, I have inquired in many ways, this person must be a hero in the future. All in all, it's still a viable path. β
Lao Jiu said: "The Lord has praised it, it is better to wait for the opportunity, and I will send someone over there to see the movement tonight." β
Yang Meng replied: "It's okay, let Wan Song go!" β
Lao Jiu also said yes, so he ordered Wan Song outside the door to come in and sent Wan Song to explore at night. Wan Song received the order, dressed in a night suit, and disappeared into the night wind.
β¦β¦
The wind outside the house was very strong, the doors and windows were whirring loudly, a window was blown open by the wind, and at the same time the tiles on the eaves fell, and there was a pull, Zhao Dezhao was woken up, at this time Zhao Dezhao turned around, and saw half of the window wide open, so he jumped up from the bed, and then got up to close the doors and windows, but when he looked out through the half window, and then seemed to see a figure on the eaves, he thought it was a dazzle, and then loosened his sleepy eyes, and when he went to see it again, the figure was gone, Zhao Dezhao thought it was a flower, I didn't pay attention to anything, then got up and went back to sleep.
On the eaves, Wan Song was lying on it at the moment, and then jumped lightly, fell to the ground, and then went over and leaned into the Zhao Mansion. Wan Song saw a face through the window, but then he saw that the man seemed to see himself, so he hid behind the eaves and continued to stare. But after a while, the window was closed, he couldn't start, his stepfather asked not to startle, he was a martial artist, not good at resourcefulness, so he had to give up this operation, and choose a time tomorrow night to find out the situation.
