Chapter 199: Mutual Temptation
This sentence is exactly what Ge Rong wants to hear, he has learned that Zilong has been enthroned by the imperial court, but he is not sure of Zilong's current attitude, this time Zilong came to relieve the danger of Dingzhou, but also a test of Zilong.
"There is a change in Yingzhou, the imperial court has sealed Wuwang Yuanrong as the governor of the left army, and Guangyang Wang Yuanyuan as the hussar general, and is preparing for war, preparing to attack Dingzhou, Dingzhou is in danger!"
When Zilong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, because on the way here, he didn't feel the slightest sign of rearmament in Yingzhou, and it seemed that this matter was extremely secretive.
However, how did Ge Rong find out?
Besides, if he could even know such a secret thing, then it would be impossible to make a storm of the imperial court closure incident, Ge Rong didn't notice it at all, it seems that Ge Rong has ulterior motives for doing this!
Thinking about it, Zilong glanced at Ge Rong, who was full of anxiety, pondered for a long time, and said: "This matter is indeed tricky, we have just won the two states of Youyan, and now Youyan Huan is determined, between the counties and counties of the five states, the hub is in Yingzhou.
If there is a change in Yingzhou, the north and the south cannot be connected, and the east and west are difficult to echo, wouldn't it be truncated by people, and the five states cannot echo each other? In this way, the fighter plane has been delayed, and the state and county have not only failed to gain a foothold, but have become a burden. ”
Zilong analyzed, and Ge Rong's heart, Ge Rong also thought about it, if Youyan came to Dingzhou to report something, and Yingzhou set up a checkpoint against Guangzhou, then he had to take a detour, wouldn't it delay time?
And Youyan Huanshuo is okay, after all, it is located north of Yingzhou in Jizhou, and they can still communicate with each other, but the situation of Dingzhou is embarrassing, and between the heavy siege of Wei Ting, it is even more difficult to make a difference.
But let Ge Rong give up Dingzhou, he was very reluctant, after all, Dingzhou has been in business for a long time, is Ge Rong's foundation is the most stable place, the upper inheritance of the six Han Baling Tombs, the lower can figure the Wei Ting capital Luoyang, is the place to use, quite important!
What Ge Rong could think of, of course, Zilong already knew, but what he was thinking at the moment was another matter.
If the memory is correct, then when Ge Rong takes Yingzhou, he will call himself the Son of Heaven, and then he will sit on Qizhou, occupy half of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and reach the peak of his career.
This can be said to be an opportunity, and it is also the time when Zilong has been looking forward to the harvest for a long time, when he stayed under Ge Rong, it was to go public through the backdoor, and now Ge Rong is fighting in the south and the north, Zilong's prestige is becoming more and more prosperous, and Ge Rong's power is becoming more and more mature.
It seems that it is indeed time to reap the fruits.
However, there are a few things that must be determined at this time.
First, whether Tao Hongjing and Rushuang are in Ge Rong's hands is what Zilong is most worried about and a question he values the most.
If these two people have fallen into the hands of Ge Rong, Zilong will be restrained in whatever he does, and even be controlled by Ge Rong, but he can't resist, such a passive situation is something Zilong never wants to endure.
It is imminent to find Tao Hongjing and Rushuang.
Second, although many important generals, including Gao Aocao, are now all promoted by Zilong, it is uncertain whether their loyalty is enough to support their own power to devour Ge Rong.
If one of them becomes a wall-to-wall grass, it is definitely not good news for Zilong, and Er Zhurong is still in the dragon's seat, and even does not hesitate to give up Youyan and Youyan Prefectures in exchange for greater benefits in the future.
Such a force that cannot be ignored is on the side, Zilong can't rest easy, if there is a disagreement internally, it is tantamount to giving Er Zhurong a chance to return everything to the right track of history.
Therefore, it is imperative to determine the hearts of the generals and the movements of Er Zhurong.
Third, it is the attitude of the imperial court, this is more ethereal, and Zilong is honest, it is not necessary to create the rebellion of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but whether the imperial court can do what he wants in his heart is worth playing.
Although the imperial court gave him an edict, it is impossible for Zilong to go to Luoyang City to face the saint in his current state, unless the safety of Tao Hongjing and Rushuang can be guaranteed, Zilong may still be able to consider it.
Of course, this third item is the least important thing, because Zilong does not have a bad impression of the current Northern Wei court, of course, there is no good impression, it is completely an ambiguous state.
It seems that it is still necessary to start with Tao Hongjing and Rushuang, but how should Zilong be sure?
Except for Demon Jiang, he doesn't have any ideas now, and he is honest with Ge Rong, it is a joke-like choice.
"Ge Shuai, have you heard about the imperial court's edict on Zilong?"
Zilong decided to test Ge Rong's attitude first, and perhaps he could find some clues from it.
Sure enough, after Ge Rong heard the news, he was not much shocked, but a little uneasy.
"Ben Shuai believes that Zilong will never be in the same stream as Wei Ting, since we have held high the banner of righteousness, in order to fight for the interests of the people who are suffering in the world, before we achieve our goal, I think Zilong will stand with us!"
Although Ge Rong's answer was consistent with Zilong's thoughts, it was not at all in line with what a rebel leader should say to his subordinates, at least when Zilong confessed that he had been rewarded by the imperial court, it should not be like this.
"Those who know my heart, only Ge Shuai!"
Saying such disgusting words, Zilong was enough, but he had more important things to ask, so he had to reassure Ge Rong's heart first.
With a knowing smile, Zilong asked, "What are Ge Shuai's plans now?" ”
Of course, Ge Rong was psychologically taboo, Zilong was originally the one he didn't trust the most, but he had to use it, with that kind of talent, if he didn't use it, wouldn't he lose a lot of vested interests in vain?
"I'll tell you the truth, Er Zhurong is eyeing you, Wei Ting's offensive against Zuoren City has never stopped, and now there are more Yuan Rong and Yuan Yuan, and I am already in turmoil.
But now that we are sitting on the five major states and counties, if we take Yingzhou again, if we think about it, we can be regarded as owning half of Wei Ting's country, to this extent, how can we make the situation to a higher level! ”
Ge Rong said it was honest, and Zilong also heard what he meant in his words that he wanted to be the emperor, but Zilong was not ready to break it, and it was better to let Ge Rong say it himself.
Moreover, Zilong decided to let Ge Rong assist him before he died, and the matter of becoming the emperor is the best reason!
"Well, this matter can be talked about later, it seems that Ge Shuai has seen that the situation is not good now, but Zilong has already been prepared, and he has to drag Ge Shuai Hongfu more!"
One has been prepared for a long time, which makes Ge Rong happy, but also makes Ge Rong worried.
Zilong's strategy for everything like this is really scary, and even Ge Rong has made up his mind that after the danger of Yingzhou is solved, he will end this scourge forever.
Thinking about it, Ge Rong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked, "Oh? What preparation? ”
Although Ge Rong's killing intent was fleeting, he couldn't escape Zilong's eyes, but these were all expected things, Zilong didn't care, he just smiled meaningfully at Ge Rong's question. (To be continued.) )
