Chapter 121: The Messenger of High Mail
Li Bosheng came from a humble background, he was a friend of Zhang Shicheng when he was a child, and he followed Zhang Shicheng to traffic illicit salt in his early years, and he was one of the "eighteen flat burdens" that Zhang Shicheng first raised his army.
"Li Bosheng, the prime minister under King Wu, has seen the governor of the Qingfeng Army of the Red Turban Army!" Li Bosheng was dressed in Mengyuan's purple grandson clothes, wearing a hat, the official uniform of Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, following the old system of Mengyuan, and stepped forward to give Hao Ren a half-kneeling chest shake.
"Is Prime Minister Li Cheng a man of lust?" Hao Ren looked at Li Bosheng, who was half-kneeling below, and said very unhappily.
Li Bosheng was full of doubts, and he didn't know what was wrong with his behavior. Meng Yuan's clothing and clothing color were not qualified to be worn by ordinary harms in the past, but now they are all 'noble' standards. He raised his eyes and glanced at Hao Ren, and replied puzzledly: "Back to the capital, Bosheng is a Han Chinese." ”
Hao Ren Hao Guozuo said: "Since Prime Minister Li Cheng is a Han and the governor of Bendu is also a Han, why don't you practice the etiquette of the Han family?" ”
Li Bosheng scolded Hao Ren thousands of times in his heart, and said in his heart: "Hao Thirteen, a slave of the household, wants me to kneel and bow to him, which is really hateful", but there is no way, he has to ask for others, he has to salute, if a head can knock out 10,000 or 20,000 reinforcements, it will be worth it.
Li Bosheng stood up again, and said: "Li Bosheng, the prime minister under the account of King Wu, see ......" As he spoke, he had to kneel on his knees when he talked about his skirt.
"Wait!" Hao Ren saw that Li Bosheng was about to kneel on his knees, so he hurriedly stopped him: "The governor of Pontus doesn't want you to make a big salute, nor does he want to make things difficult for you, so don't be polite!" Mr. Shi, please salute Master Li! ”
Hao Rentian is cheap, but he doesn't like to kowtow to others the most, in his opinion, except for heaven, earth, parents, and gods, no one is worthy of him kowtowing. 'Do unto others what you don't want to do to yourself', he doesn't like others to kowtow to him, and even the people of Shouzhou City have come over stiffly.
Shi Nai'an knew that this was the governor who asked him to be a teacher for Li Bosheng, so he hurriedly left the table and gave Li Bosheng a long courtesy: "Qingfeng Army Luzhou is too shou Shi Nai'an, I have seen Lord Li!" ”
Li Bosheng had a cold sweat on his face, and said in his heart: "I will do this simple etiquette!" "Hurry up and return the gift to Shi Nai'an, and according to Shi Nai'an's standards, I saw the governor and Yiying Wenwu again.
Hao Ren just owes a bow, nods, it can be regarded as a return of the gift, and the rest of the generals return the salute in different ways, holding their chests, holding their fists, and holding their fists, all kinds of things, but no one knelt on the ground.
"Now the Tartar court sent a million troops to invade Gaoyou, my king of Wu, for the world's righteous army, is ready to refuse to defend Gaoyou, and take off to the death, but the difference between Gaoyou's soldiers and horses and the official army is too great, please Hao Du Du read the truth of the death of the lips and teeth, send troops to rescue Gaoyou, King Wu is willing to scatter his gold leaf property, thank the governor for the kindness of regeneration." Li Bosheng set out from Gaoyou, passed through Liuhe and Chuzhou, and then went to the Qingfeng army to ask for troops.
Hao Ren said: "Lord Li should also have heard, I just fought with Yexian Timur in Hezhou, and now the army has not yet recovered, the cost of grain, grass and military funds is extremely serious, and the Yu Que of Anqing threatens my flank, I have no ability to defeat Yu Que and relieve the security of our flank!" ”
When Li Bosheng heard this, his back was already half cold.
Usually do not burn incense, temporarily cramming Buddha's feet, this is not effective.
Zhang Shicheng occupies a rich place, and does not belong to the camp of the Red Turban Army, and the surrounding rebels usually do not have much contact, in this critical moment, ask for help from the neighboring rebels, all the rebels are guarding their own doors, gold leaf, women, goods, all the princes are not lacking, how can there be willing to send troops for Zhang Shicheng, Qingfeng Army Governor Hao Ren said this, isn't this what it means?
"As long as Hao Dudu is willing to send troops to help, Gaoyou's gold leaf, goods, and women, as long as Dudu starts, King Wu will definitely give them generously!" Li Bosheng saw that Hao Ren was going to refuse, and once again tempted him with benefits.
"Gold leaf, goods, women, leave it to your King Wu to enjoy by himself!"
Li Bosheng said anxiously: "Governor, don't do this, as long as the governor is willing to send troops, whatever you want, our King Wu will give you!" ”
"Hehe" Hao Ren smiled: "What do I really want, what does he give?" Seeing that things were turning for the better, Li Bosheng hurriedly replied firmly: "Seriously! ”
"What if I let him go to the title of King of Wu?"
Li Bosheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "King Wu is not a member of the Ming Sect, unlike the Ming Sect, which has a sect leader, protector, hall master and other leaders to recruit the people, King Wu relies on this title to order the army, go to the King of Wu, this can't be done, but - King Wu is only the King of Wu of the Gaoyou Army, not the King of Wu of Hao Dudu, Hao Dudu can be called a brother to my King Wu." ”
"Hehe, I know that your King Wu will not want to, I'm just joking" Hao Ren smiled: "I admire Zhang Shicheng as a character, he is the title of emperor, and it has nothing to do with me for the time being, but I read that he is a man, so the governor of Pontus decided to personally handsome elite soldiers to assist Gaoyou!" ”
Li Bosheng was sure that he had heard correctly, Hao Ren not only wanted to send troops, but also personally sent troops, and he knelt on the ground with a 'plop': "Hao Dudu is simply the savior of the Gaoyou army, I don't know when Dudu is going to send troops?" I asked my family King Wu to prepare a mansion and beauties for you in Gaoyou! ”
Hao Ren said: "But the governor of Pontus has a request to your king of Wu, I don't know if your king of Wu can agree!" ”
"Don't say it's one thing, it's ten, a hundred, my King Wu can also agree, but it's okay to say it!"
"I just want to open a few salt farms on the territory under the jurisdiction of King Wu, and the salt produced in the salt field will be transported back to the territory of the Qingfeng Army for sale, so as not to disturb King Wu's salt market, I don't know if your King Wu can agree!"
Li Bosheng thought that Hao Ren would ask some difficult questions, just to open a few salt farms, Hao Ren just wanted to sell some private salt and make some extra money! Li Bosheng and Zhang Jiusi are both from selling smuggled salt, and Li Bosheng feels that this problem is not a problem.
In ancient times, salt has always been monopolized by the government! Jiang Ziya's governance of Qi can make Qi rich and strong, mainly relying on the Shandong Peninsula rich in salt, Zhang Jiusi can be claimed to be the richest at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to the rich places he controls, the important reason is that he controlled the salt market at that time, and he can also block the north-south traffic waterway Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
"Such a trivial matter, there is no need to report to my family King Wu, Bosheng is here to call the shots, and the two salt farms in the east of Gaoyou Lake will be sent to the Qingfeng Army Hao Du Governor for free, if it is inconvenient for the Governor to send someone from Shouzhou to manage, I can help the Governor recruit people on the spot!" Li Bosheng was full of promises.
"Haha! Readily! Hao Ren exclaimed, he didn't expect Li Bosheng to answer so briskly, "Okay, then ask Lord Li to go back first, and tell Zhang Shicheng that the governor of Pontus will sort out the troops and horses, and rush to Gaoyou in a few days, and join him to resist the army!" ”
"Governor Gaoyi, I'll rush back to Gaoyou, buy a mansion and beauties for the governor, and wait for the army of the governor to come!" Li Bosheng ran short legs, wore out his mouth, and finally got Hao Ren's promise, he was very excited, and retired and returned to Gaoyou, there is no need to elaborate.
When Wenwu heard that Hao Ren was going to personally lead the troops to Gaoyou, they stepped forward to advise: "Zhang Shicheng is capricious, don't be gullible!" ”
"The governor is the backbone of the Qingfeng army, and he can't be in danger."
However, Hao Ren had already made up his mind, even if the nine cows couldn't be pulled back, Hao Ren comforted everyone: "The heroes of the world need to know that when they preserve their strength and sit and watch their success or failure, it is the governor of Pontus, who is not afraid of the million-strong army of escape, personally commanding the troops, and supporting Zhang Jiusi from afar!" ”
When the generals saw that the governor was going to fight, they took the initiative to ask for help and follow the governor to fight, but Hao Ren only named four people, Tu Danhu, Wu Liujiu, Hu Dahai, and Geng Zaicheng, they were all cavalry, and Hao Ren didn't want to lead the infantry and let a million people chase and fight.
"Tu Shan Hu, you go to Anfeng, find my father-in-law Yang Zhengtai, and ask him to replenish a thousand cavalry for me!"
"No!" Tu Dan Hu took the order and left.
Hao Ren said again: "Jiao Yu listened to the order and ordered you to build twenty horse cannons that can be used for horses and camels, two thousand iron-tired hard bows, two thousand portable crossbows, and a large number of 'swarm bees', which will be of great use to the governor of Pontus!" ”
"Jiao Yu commands!" (To be continued.) )
