Chapter 34: Bad Intentions
At the court meeting the next day, the hundred officials had already arrived, and Liu Xuan sat on the dragon throne, looking a little sluggish. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Anything else?" After listening to the state and county affairs reported by several officials, he yawned, and lately he had been singing almost every night, and he could not lift his spirits at all.
"Your Majesty, now some counties are still stubbornly resisting, and they have not been attached to our dynasty, in fact, they are watching from the wall, just because the pseudo-emperor Mang still occupies Guanzhong, we can only use our army to capture Chang'an, and the world can be settled." Wang Kuang came out of the column and said.
"The minister thinks that this matter needs to be considered in the long run!" Li Song objected, "The new dynasty has placed 200,000 troops in Yangguan, with our current strength, a forced attack will inevitably cause heavy losses, and there are still many forces around us who are eyeing us, and we should preserve our strength before they are swept away!" ”
"Humph! What do you know as a literati? Wang Kuang sneered.
"I'm afraid Lord Wang has other plans." Li Song's words are pointed,-for-tat.
"You!" Wang Kuang glared at him angrily, but he did have his own little abacus, after the capital of Wancheng, although the generals of the Green Forest series were all sealed official positions, but most of them were false titles, during this time, many positions of real power were occupied by newly promoted officials, and their power has been slowly weakened, which made him vigilant.
Liu Xuan naturally understood very well in his heart that after defeating Liu Xuan's lineage, Wang Kuang became the biggest threat to his throne, so he placed many cronies in the army during this time, just to set aside the old generals of the green forest.
But on the surface, he still had to do the kung fu, he stopped the quarrel between the two, pretended to be entangled for a while, and suddenly looked at Su Yun.
"What does Uncle Wen think about this matter?"
Su Yun's heart is like a mirror, Liu Xuan doesn't have any grand plans at all, he is just obsessed with the throne, in history, the Green Forest Army broke through Chang'an, which was not long after the Battle of Kunyang, at that time Wang Mang's army had been lost, there was not much resistance at all, everything was logical, so it had nothing to do with his personal will at all.
But now that this time and space has changed greatly, Wang Mang's anger is not exhausted, and it is simply impossible to ask Liu Xuan to gamble on the throne of God to fight with him.
"I think Lord Li Song's words are very reasonable, the enemy is strong, if you are not sure, it is better to prepare again." Su Yun replied.
Li Song smiled kindly, and Liu Xuan also nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Kuang poured his anger on him, "Liu Xiu, if you don't fight, how can you take the world!" When we gathered righteousness, we said that we wanted to revive the Han family, do you want us to be content with the status quo! ”
Su Yun laughed secretly in his heart, this Wang Kuang is really a rough man, he actually didn't choose what to say, sure enough, Liu Xuan's brows furrowed, these words in his ears simply referred to Sang scolding Huai, implying that he, the emperor, had done nothing.
As soon as Wang Kuang's words came out, he immediately woke up, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The minister was excited for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, and asked Your Majesty to be considerate, the minister is just worrying about Your Majesty's unification of the country!" ”
"The minister has a play!"
At this time, Li Yi came out of the queue and squinted at Su Yun, with a chill in his eyes.
"This bastard is going to calculate me again." Su Yun simply gritted his teeth.
"Speak." Liu Xuan waved his hand.
"The minister agrees with Lord Li's words, Wang Mang has a strong army, and it is indeed not the best time to attack now, but Lord Wang's words also have some truth, now some of our surrounding counties are self-reliant, and they will not return, and the people of the world will inevitably look down on my big man, so it is better to send troops to sweep one or two, and let other forces know the end of stubborn resistance."
"Well, that's a good idea." Liu Xuan's face improved, attacking the county, it was enough to send a small number of troops, and he didn't have to worry about the loss of military power, "Then do you have any good proposals?" ”
"Yingchuan County guards Feng Yi, who was appointed by Wang Mang to guard the five counties, after the new army retreated to Guanzhong, we sent envoys to surrender many times, but Feng Yi was stubborn and refused to open the city gate, so it is better for us to take this as the goal and make an example of the monkey!" Li Yi was prepared.
"And who will you send?" Liu Xuan swept over the generals below.
"General Liu Xiu is brave and resourceful, and he can take on this great responsibility." Li Yi said.
Su Yun was surprised, to say that this Li Yi would never speak for him, there was definitely something wrong with it, but for a while, he couldn't think of what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Not only Su Yun, but Liu Xuan also had doubts on his face, he was the most active in killing Liu Xuan and Li Yi at the beginning, how could he fight for Su Yun now, but he looked at Wang Kuang, who was eager to try, and still made up his mind.
"Then invite General Liu to fight!"
Su Yun was worried when he came back from the palace, Li Yi's killing intent towards him was obvious, the kidnapping the day before yesterday was definitely from him, what tricks did he have now? But Feng Yi, why is this name so familiar?
Back in the house, Xiao Tiandao was in the yard and didn't know what to do, and the ground was dirty and muddy.
Su Yun walked over to take a look, this little guy actually built a stove, the fire was burning, and there were several lifelike clay figures next to it.
"What are you doing?"
"Uncle, you're back, those bad guys broke my potters last time, and now I'm going to burn a few by myself." She raised her head, her face was muddy, but she looked very happy, "Fortunately, the temperature required for pottery is not high, and this stove should be able to handle it." ”
Su Yun had a black line, "By the way, don't you know a lot of things, is there any information about Feng Yi's name?" ”
"Do you mean this dynasty? Well, yes, the seventh of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, one of the four generalissimos under Guangwu......" She said the information while pinching the mud.
"Oh!" Su Yun patted his head and suddenly realized that such a person had forgotten that there must have been too many things that had happened recently, which made his brain a little short-circuited.
"Then things will be easy to do, no matter what conspiracy Li Yi has, this is a big gift to the door." Su Yun's mood finally improved.
Li Yi just returned to the house, he was also in a good mood today, after the next dynasty, he sent several beauties into the palace, Liu Xuan was very happy, gave him a lot of rewards, and promised him a higher position.
Zhao Meng was already waiting for him in the room.
"Looking at Lord Li's appearance, the emperor must be Longyan Dayue, right?"
"That's it." Li Yi sat down and drank a cup of tea, "Why does Lord Zhao have time to see me today?" ”
"This time I made a special trip to thank Lord Li, if you hadn't recommended the little girl to enter the palace, where would I be able to sit in my current position?" Zhao Meng opened a wooden box placed on the ground, which was shining golden and full of jewels.
Li Yi lit up and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is polite, you and I are in the same breath, and I will count on Zhao Guifei to take care of it in the future." ”
"Haha, don't worry, Lord Li, I have already informed the little girl." Zhao Meng sat down and asked, "By the way, why did Lord Li recommend that Liu Xiu in the court today?" Didn't you ask me to send someone ...... the day before yesterday," Zhao Meng made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Lord Zhao doesn't know, that Feng Yi is proficient in the art of war, the five counties are well guarded, and we have sent troops to attack many times and have returned, how can it be so easy to take? Besides, this time to shoot Liu Xiu, he is a bare-bones commander, and the soldiers and horses are not to be dialed by us? When the time comes......"
Li Yi seemed to have seen the picture of Su Yun being surrounded by enemy troops and dying with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.
