Chapter 214 Back

At the dinner table, Zhao Yu and Gongsun Xuanxu naturally inevitably talked about the banquet at Zhao's main store tonight.

Zhao Yu picked up a piece of mutton slices, put them in a bowl, and asked calmly, "Sir, do you have any thoughts on tonight's banquet?" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu looked at Zhao Yu's face and said with a smile: "It seems that the prince already has a tendency!" Otherwise, how could it be so fearless? ”

Zhao Yu was made to laugh and cry by Gongsun Xuanxu's words, and said, "Is it difficult for Mr. to want this king to learn from Liu Bei?" ”

What is Liu Bei's biggest feature? Cry! Many people say that Liu Bei cried out of a Shu country, although this is biased, but there is also his truth.

Gongsun Xuanxu restrained his smile when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Correct solution!" ”

Stunned, Zhao Yu said tentatively in disbelief: "Mr. is joking, right?" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu shook his head and said, "Definitely! ”

After a pause, Gongsun Xuanxu asked, "Why does the prince think Liu Bei can still fight again and again after repeated defeats?" relies on crying, everyone will sympathize with the weak, plus his identity as the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty. Although the prince is now the king of Changsha, isn't he weak against Lu Yijian? ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhao Yu said: "What Mr. said is very true, as for his identity as the uncle of the Han Emperor, I think he can win the hearts of the people of the world." Although this king can't win the hearts of the people of the world, there is no problem if he wants to win the hearts of the officials! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu nodded and said: "As long as the prince shows weakness, not only will he not be attacked by a group because of this banquet, but he will benefit!" It's just that the operation of this needs to be carefully pondered, otherwise it is easy to be self-defeating! ”

Zhao Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, let's go to the study after dinner and plan carefully!" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu suddenly asked, "Do you want to invite the prince to go to the Zhao family's main store for a banquet?" ”

Speaking of Chong Shiheng, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be clouded with a layer of haze in his heart, since returning to the capital, the relationship between Chong Shiheng and Zhao Yu has become a little inseparable, and he can also push Zhao Yu's invitation. According to Cao Feiliang's report, it is said that Chong Shiheng planned to return to the northwest, presumably because he did not want to get involved in the whirlpool. However, this is also the consistent thinking of most of the military generals of the Song Dynasty in this era, they understand that in terms of playing with the heart and eye, where are they the opponents of scholars?

If you can't fight, you naturally have to choose to hide wisely.

Sighing, Zhao Yu said: "That's it, it's okay to let Zhongping return to the northwest, he should have stayed in the northwest in the first place!" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu was a little strange, why did the prince say that Chong Shiheng should have stayed in the northwest in the first place?

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, as if there was something important, Gongsun Xuanxu immediately put aside the less important questions in his mind, and hurriedly looked at the door of the dining room.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but pause the chopsticks that had been raised and put them down.

"Lord Wang!" Cao Feiliang walked in a little out of breath.

"What happened?" Although Zhao Yu was also infected by Cao Feiliang's anxious mood, he still remained calm on the surface.

Cao Feiliang saw that Zhao Yu was so calm, and he was a little calmer. Taking a deep breath, he said: "Lord Wang, there has just been news from Zhongshu Province, and it has been determined that the original Jingdong East Road will be judged to be under the jurisdiction of Shiheng Zhihuanzhou and Huanqing Erzhou, and the main thing is to build Qingjian City and defend against Western Xia. ”

"It was approved by Prime Minister Lu personally, don't look at the official position is not high, but the power is no worse than the judgment all the way. With 13,000 troops and 300,000 yuan. Cao Feiliang was quite angry when he spoke.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and Lu Yijian's capital was lowered. Because of the 30 years of Chengping, there were not many soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty, although there were signs of redundant soldiers, but at this time there were not many soldiers and horses in the world. Because the Northern Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's strong branches and weak branches, it has unswervingly implemented the national policy of strong cadres and weak branches since the founding of the country, and there are always about 200,000 soldiers and horses in Bianliang City. And there are not many soldiers and horses in various places, just like Hebei, as a big country in the east in the face of Liao, the Song Dynasty only arranged 100,000 forbidden troops and more than 100,000 soldiers.

In Shaanxi, because of Li Yuanhao's troubles, some soldiers and horses were added one after another. Even so, it was only a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses. Chong Shiheng alone has mastered the strength of one or three troops, even if it was Zhao Yu at the beginning, it was only an army with a victorious army, three thousand men and horses!

With such lucrative conditions, it's no wonder that Chong Shiheng would choose to betray himself. Thinking of the word betrayal, Zhao Yu felt a tingling pain in his heart, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart with a dagger. The hand holding the chopsticks can't help but exert force. The chopsticks of "snap" were broken, and Zhao Yu's face was ugly and said: "The quality of these chopsticks is really poor, someone is coming...... Get a new pair of chopsticks! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu looked at Zhao Yu and said seriously: "The prince and Zhong Ping have been together for three years, don't you know Zhong Ping's personality?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, feeling that he seemed to be blinded by anger, but what exactly to say, Zhao Yu was a little confused.

Gongsun Xuanxu said seriously: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is Lu Yijian's divisive plan. Zhong Ping didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool, so why did he turn to Lu Yijian? Taking a step back, even if Zhongping has the heart to go to the next level in the whirlpool. He Lu Yijian is indeed more powerful than the prince, but the prince is obvious to Zhongping and the officials of Jingdong East Road. With such a person, does Lu Yijian dare to matter? And Zhongping, is he such a person? ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, nodded his head a little clearly, and said, "Well, thanks to Mr.'s words, otherwise I'm afraid I would have fallen for the old fox's annihilation scheme!" ”

However, it is impossible to say that Zhao Yu has no problem with Chong Shiheng. A person who has worked hard to win over and cultivate, but in the end chooses to abandon himself, and it is impossible for anyone to change without a little anger.

Cao Feiliang said unwillingly: "Mr. Gongsun, even if you really say this, the prince treats this kind of Shiheng like this, but he runs away, is this reasonable?" Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, you will never be able to let him go! ”

Zhao Yu sighed, his heart was messy, he was really chopping constantly, and he was messy.

"Lord Wang!"

turned his head to look over, but it was Du Xiansheng standing outside the door.

"What's wrong?" There was a faint dissatisfaction in Zhao Yu's tone.

Du Xiansheng said a little nervously: "Plant ...... Kind of judgment to see! ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Cao Feiliang gritted his teeth and said: "Such a ruthless and unrighteous villain still dares to have a face to come to the door? Just get out! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu hesitated, but finally did not speak.

Zhao Yu didn't speak, Du Xiansheng naturally couldn't listen to Cao Feiliang's words and go to catch up with Shiheng.

"Lord Wang! What's there to hesitate about? Cao Feiliang said hatefully.
