Chapter 90: The Choice (Part 2)
"What do you say? Shi Mo Yisun is dead? Sang Ge shuddered, and confirmed with red eyes.
"You're funny! Who can lie to you about such a big thing? The messenger looked at him like a fool and replied impatiently, "Besides, Lord Shi Mo has been trapped in Fanling for almost a month, and there is no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, how can he still hold on?!" ”
"That's it, it's a pity for a good man. was killed by the Pu family in Quanzhou! Several other messengers also pouted and added.
"The Pu family, how did the Pu family cheat him?" At this point, Sang Ge lost no longer caring about the other party's arrogance or not, grabbed the reins of a messenger's horse, and continued to get to the bottom of it.
Calm down and think about it carefully, Shi Yi wiped Sun to die in battle, there is really nothing strange about it. After all, he had been trapped on Fanling for so long, and the imperial court had not been able to make any moves to relieve him. And a few days ago, he spontaneously rushed to rescue his Xinzhou Ludaru Huachi, and the Khitan Mairigus fell into Hu Dahai's encirclement plan to help, and the whole army was wiped out. In this desperate situation, even the reincarnation of Sun Wu could not guide Shi Mo Yisun to turn the corner. What's more, the sea of thieves has also received reinforcements from Xu Thief Tiande, and the strength of the army has suddenly doubled.
But it is a little suspicious to count Shi Mo Yisun's death on the head of the Pu family in Quanzhou. Although Zhu Butcher invaded the south this time, the banner was revenge on the Pu family. But in fact, who doesn't know that he has taken a fancy to the anointed land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and wants to take advantage of it?
"Your lord looks like you've just come down from the capital, and you don't know the twists and turns underneath!" The messenger pulled off the reins of the horse and responded angrily, "If it weren't for the Pu family covering the sky in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province with one hand, and forcing him to die with Prime Minister Baizhuge, would Shi Mo Yisun be guilty of pulling the soldiers to Fanling?" Duck back a little and go to Shinshu to meet Master Mirigus, can Hu Dahai still chase him? As a result, Lord Shi Mo Yisun was killed in battle, Lord Mairigus was also killed in battle, and Lord Chen Youding was struggling to support in Qingyuan. And his Quanzhou Pu family is still like no one else, not even a single soldier! ”
"Huh?!" Sang Ge was stunned again. In the court, he only knew that Shi Mo Yisun was loyal and brave, and the Pu family in Quanzhou was rich and rivaled the country, but he didn't know that Shi Mo Yisun led his troops to fight to the death with the Huai'an army, and there were so many mysteries hidden behind it. And what is going on with the Pu family covering the sky in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces? Brother Baizhu, the prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, isn't he a descendant of the golden family? How could he ignore state affairs and let the Pu family manipulate and manipulate him?
I can't find the answer to my questions. Wanting to know more details, the messenger under Li Siqi's command was already impatient, pulled the reins a few more times, and said in a low voice, "My lord, you shouldn't ask me about this." Stay down there for a few more days, and you'll understand everything. However, it is useless to understand. Hu Dahai immediately went to Fuzhou, and it didn't cost me enough to even owe the food and salary of our Baoyi Army for several months! It's all at this time, who still has the ability to save Jiangsu and Zhejiang? ”
With that, he slammed the horse's belly and took the lead in rushing past Sango Lost's side. The other messengers quickly caught up, and in the blink of an eye, they threw the group from the capital into the smoke and dust splashed by the horses' hooves.
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, you are usually cautious in your words and deeds, why did you talk so much to that guy today?" It wasn't until they had run four or five miles away that someone in the messenger team whispered to their leader for advice.
The leader of the messenger who was called Brother Hu looked back, convinced that there were no outsiders around, and sneered: "Why are you talking so much? I want him to have a score in his heart, don't expect our Baoyi Army to fight with Zhu Butcher again. are all raised by their parents, who is much cheaper than whom? Grandma's, in order to save a Pu family, how many good men have been put in? Why? Lao Tzu confiscated the benefits of the Pu family, and whoever took it carried the knife himself! ”
"That's, that's, we even have to get the food and salary ourselves, why should we work for the Pu family?" The rest of the messengers also pouted and nodded.
"But will it work?" One of the messengers, who seemed to be a little older, thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "That kid looks like a stunned young man who has just debuted a few days ago. If you tell him this, can he stab him in the sky except for calling out twice? ”
"Lao Li, you are wrong, the more stunned you are, the more you ignore it!" The leader who was called Brother Hu pursed his lips again, and continued to sneer and shake his head, "If you change to an old and serious person, you should think about the overall bullshit." Who would take our life and death seriously! ”
"That's, that's, Brother Hu is worthy of being trained by an adult, that is, he has a long-term vision!" The messengers nodded their heads and patted their leader's ass as they ran away.
A few of them set a fire and didn't ask about the result. Sang Ge lost his heart, but he was indignant again. The Pu family in Quanzhou and the prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces worshiped Brother Zhu and became angry and framed Zhongliang. Too little to spoil food and salary, passively avoid war. Li Siqi, the marshal of the Baoyi Army, was arrogant and domineering and connived at his subordinates. Looking at all the places under the rule of the Great Yuan, there is no place that is not erosive. If one day Zhu butcher turned the horse's head from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he waved his army to the north. Who can hold the Yellow River defense line for the imperial court?
I can't count on Hama and other old people, Tai Buhua, Xue Xue and other fierce generals, I'm afraid they have already secretly communicated with Zhu Butcher. The imperial court must reorganize its armaments and wars as soon as possible, remove the generals, and take precautions.
While waiting for the ship, Sango lost his huge pen like a rafter and gave Tuhuan Timur a twist. However, this time he learned the lesson of the previous time and did not entrust it to his father. Instead, he directly dispatched his henchmen and ordered him to deliver the fold to the crown prince Aiyu Zhilitra. Then he bathed and fasted, changed into a brand new four-grade senate robe, put on a full set of honor guards, and boarded the ship and headed southwest.
With the heroism of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold", he walked against the current for an hour and came to the outside of Bianliang City. The warships of the Red Turban Army had already come forward, pointing at them with the muzzles of the black holes, asking for their intentions. When he learned that the envoys of the Tartar Emperor were sitting on the great generalist's ship, he immediately adjusted the sails and rudder, and escorted Sango to the shore from both sides.
"If that Liu Futong doesn't know what to do, he makes threats. Even if I die immediately, I can't embellish the face of heaven! "If Liu Futong asks for a price, I will fight for it on the basis of reason, and I must not let him get too much cheap, but he will not send troops for a long time!" "If he is willing to treat each other politely, I might as well give it a little bit. Tie Jin Lan with him, slow down his mind, and then"
Along the way, Sang Ge kept imagining how he could enter the tiger's den alone, neither humble nor arrogant. The countermeasures in my heart have been prepared by hundreds and thousands. However, the moment his feet stepped on the dock on the south bank of the Yellow River, his knees suddenly softened, and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the civilian officer of the Red Turban Army who came to greet him was quick, quickly grabbed his arm, and dragged forward a few steps to avoid him making a fool of himself in public. But a face has become more red, and it almost dripped blood!
"Hahahaha" The other Red Turban soldiers who were watching on the dock were not as good as the generals. Seeing that a big official from the imperial court almost fell to the ground as soon as he got off the boat, he couldn't help laughing wildly.
"Alright, alright, haven't you ever seen anyone wrestle? The northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats. This adult came on horseback, and he had never been on a boat, so he was naturally not easy to adapt! The civilian officer of the Red Turban Army raised his head and whispered to the surrounding soldiers, "If you ride a horse for the first time, I'm afraid you will also be virtuous!" ”
After teaching the subordinates around him, he turned his gaze to Sang Ge Li, "In Xia Sheng Wenyu, dare to ask the name of this adult?" What's the matter with my big song? ”
"I've seen Master Sheng, in Xia Sango, he is a senator of Dayuan Zhongshu Province. On the orders of His Majesty, I have something important to discuss with Prime Minister Liu Cheng! Sang Ge looked around, and deliberately raised his voice a little in response.
When the red-scarf soldiers around heard this, their smiles immediately condensed on their faces. The Tartar Emperor sent an envoy to meet Prime Minister Liu Cheng with such fanfare, what kind of heart did he have? Events? The soldiers and horses on both sides are now fighting for life and death in the Xiangfan area, and the high-ranking Tartar officials and Prime Minister Liu Cheng are sitting together, what important things can they talk about?
This is what Sang Ge wanted, and when he saw that there were people around him who were fooled, his confidence suddenly increased. was about to provoke a few more words, Sheng Wenyu, who had been supporting him, raised his head and laughed, "Hahahaha, I thought you were here to deliver the surrender book, didn't it?" What is your emperor going to discuss with my prime minister Liu Cheng? He is finally willing to admit that my Great Song Dynasty is a country that was established side by side with Mengyuan? ”
"This" didn't expect that a mere Sheng Wenyu would be so difficult to deal with, and Sang Ge immediately saw sweat on his forehead. The Great Yuan monarchs and ministers, of course, will never admit that the Great Song Dynasty established by the Bianliang Red Turban is a country on an equal footing with the Great Yuan. But if he can't even explain this problem clearly, he will not be right to come to see Liu Futong. After all, in the official proclamation of the Great Yuan Dynasty, those who did not take the initiative to accept the court's recruitment at the moment were all thieves. And the Bianliang Red Scarf, even if it is the largest and the second most powerful one.
"Your emperor refuses to recognize the Great Song Dynasty?" Sheng Wenyu didn't give him enough time to react at all, pursed his lips, and continued to laugh and say, "That's it! My Royal Highness and Prime Minister have never recognized Dayuan. The two sides continue to see the real chapter on the battlefield, and they save each other a lot of trouble! ”
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and prepared to turn around. Brother Sang was so anxious that he didn't dare to play some small tricks that couldn't be put on the table, so he hurriedly chased a few steps, pulled Sheng Wenyu's sleeve and said loudly: "Wait, don't worry about it." We can discuss everything slowly. Didn't His Majesty send me here, naturally I was going to temporarily stop fighting with Prime Minister Liu Cheng and your King of Song, so that the people could recover their lives. As for the name, His Majesty once said that you can follow the old example of Zhou Gong Ke Wu Geng! (Note 1) Note 1: Wu Geng, the son of the king of Shang. After the death of King Zhou, he was left in Yindu by King Wu of Zhou to manage the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, Wu Geng rebelled and was killed by the Duke of Zhou. King Cheng of Zhou and Duke of Zhou learned a lesson, expanded the feudal princes, and newly sealed seventy-one kingdoms.
