But he didn't want Li Cunhuan to shake his head very resolutely, and said: "If I want to kill you, I will summon you there!" Emperor Corning is dead, and this is irretrievable. The reason why I let Wang Shifan go is just because I don't want Pinglu to suffer the scourge of war. In addition, from a moral point of view, what Wang Shifan did was not wrong. Besides, I can't let Pinglu bleed thousands of miles and lay millions of corpses because of my own selfishness. ”

"But Your Highness, you're too cheap Wang Shifan's kid! And whether he is willing to surrender or not is also two words! Feng Dao muttered dissatisfiedly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Cunhuan's decision.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said: "But Dao, you are good at anything, but you are not mature enough in the overall situation." If Wang Shifan does not surrender, his men will also surrender. Wang Shifan can't see the situation clearly, do his men think they can resist my military might? What's more, haven't you seen the current situation clearly? ”

Yelu Abaoji, Guo Chongtao, and Feng Dao saw that Li Cunhuan had made up his mind, and they didn't say anything more.

However, when it came to sending out who was the lobbyist, there was obviously a serious disagreement, according to Feng Dao. "You should send a person who can speak well, otherwise even His Highness's article is better than Cao Zijian's. I'm afraid it's hard to say that the king is a teacher! ”

And Yelu Abaoji was disdainful of Feng Dao's words, and said with a disdainful face: "Send someone to go, you said it easily, this is a task that is almost sent to death, who will go?" Let you go, will you? ”

This sentence made Feng Dao's face flush with anger, but he couldn't say half a word. In case I went and was clicked by Wang Shifan, whose fault was it? Being impatient is just a momentary pleasure, but being unlucky is something that you can't regret for the rest of your life.

Seeing that Feng Dao didn't speak, Yelu Abaoji immediately became triumphant. "I think I sent a cavalryman to shoot the letter to the position of the Pinglu army, and asked them to hand it over to Wang Shifan. Even if Wang Shifan was unwilling to surrender, he just tore up the letter, and no one killed him if he wanted to kill someone! ”

Guo Chongtao, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and suggested: "Your Highness, I think it is better than this. Letters must be sent, but those who can speak well must also be sent, but they cannot be forced. After all, twisted melons are not sweet. His Royal Highness can promise a heavy reward and let his staff take the initiative to ask for help. ”

Feng Dao's heart moved, and he said, "Your Highness! Guo Sima's words are good, but Xia Guan thinks that the land of Qilu has always been a place of literati, and since ancient times, most of the masterminds have come from this, that is, Zhuge Kongming is also a Qilu person. It is better for His Royal Highness to take the opportunity to set up a recruitment list, without explaining the reason, and only saying that Wang Shifan was the envoy. Those who dare to unveil the list must be wise and brave people, and they can also recruit talented people for His Royal Highness! It could also be used as a substitute for this mission. ”

Li Cunhuan is also moved, now that his family has a big business, it is no longer the same as in the past, and there is a lack of talents. Li Cunhuan also has the intention to recruit a few capable people.

However, Li Cunhuan was originally useless for the time being, but he didn't want Feng Dao to say anything about General Wang Shifan's envoy, and all of his more than ten staff members shook their heads and refused to go. The angry Li Cunhuan summoned all the staff to scold, feeling too embarrassed, the people under him have the ability, but they just don't have the courage.

For example, Feng Dao's articles are well written, he is old enough to deal with government affairs, and he is loyal enough to himself.

Han Yanhui is a well-versed person who has unique insights in many government decrees, and can often put forward good suggestions for improvement.

Park Jinghui is fluent in eight languages, including Khitan, Turkic, Silla, Jurchen, Yueben, Chinese, Bohai and Jiangnan dialects.

These three people are representative figures among Li Cunhuan's staff, but none of them dared to send an envoy to Pinglu. It's all because Wang Shifan's mistake is too big. If Li Cunhuan hadn't said it himself, who would have believed that Li Cunhuan would let Wang Shifan go? And when it comes out of his own mouth, I'm afraid that Wang Shifan will think that he has deceived him, and it is strange that his head does not fall to the ground at that time.

For this reason, Li Cunhuan's staff can be said to be eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and they all wholeheartedly want Li Cunhuan to give up that 'unrealistic' idea. In order to show his determination and punish the staff for not cooperating, Li Cunhuan drove a staff member to a county in Dizhou to serve as a county magistrate.

You must know that these people from the staff have successfully decentralized, and at least they are state officials, that is, one of the marching horses and six divisions of a certain state. Delegating to the county order as the starting point, I am afraid that it will be the person who will be capped in the history of a state. This made everyone in Li Cunhuan's staff silent, but still no one dared to make a head bird and send a letter to Wang Shifan.

Li Cunhuan's people did not dare to be this up-and-coming bird, but it does not mean that no one in Qilu dared to make an envoy. Three days later, someone unveiled the list, and there were still two of them.

Li Cunhuan immediately took time out to summon him, although he was injured now, it did not prevent him from using his brain. He had them summoned. What makes Li Cunhuan strange is that the people who came to unveil the list are a Taoist priest, with a pair of attractive ears and a pair of mouse eyes, but his chin is still combing the beard full of the masculine atmosphere of the general, and the whole person looks a little funny and obscene.

The other person is even more strange, with a righteous face, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it looks like he is not very old, he looks like he is only about twenty-four or five years old, and he thinks he is an official at first glance. However, he was wearing a gray and black linen coat with several patches on it, obviously from a poor family.

The two of them walked up, and the Taoist priest bowed slightly to Li Cunhuan, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Poor Zhou Yanpet has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin! ”

Compared with Zhou Yanpet, the other person looked respectful, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully, and his forehead was a little blue. But he still shouted in a respectful tone: "Commoner Jiang Xuanhui, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Chitose!" Chitose! Chichitose! ”

"Interesting! Interesting! Li Cunhuan glanced at Zhou Yanpet, who had a calm face, and said with a smile.

Zhou Yan's expression remained unchanged, but Jiang Xuanhui, as if he was facing the emperor, was still kneeling on the ground, folding his hands in front of his forehead, touching the ground with his head, and not daring to move.

"Get up!" Li Cunhuan smiled at Jiang Xuanhui.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin!" Jiang Xuanhui kowtowed respectfully, and then stood up, the whole person looked so respectful, but he was courteous. Compared with Jiang Xuanhui, Zhou Yanpet immediately looks like one in the sky and one underground. To put it mildly, Zhou Yanpet's current behavior can even be said to be disrespectful.

"Zhou Yanpet, are you so disrespectful to the lonely king?" Li Cunhuan's face suddenly turned grim, and he shouted at Zhou Yanpet.

"That's how King Qin treats talented people?" Zhou Yanpet was not afraid, but 'boldly' asked about Li Cunhuan, and he looked like he wanted to fight with Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan was not annoyed when he heard this, and his originally straight face suddenly laughed. Feng Baodu, who was waiting on the side, asked, "Zhou Yanpet, do you have a record of this person?" ”

"The Chang'an people's clan, who was rarely affected by the Huangchao Rebellion, moved to Qingzhou and became a Taoist monk. is not very concerned about the world, but he has an important influence on Wang Shifan, and he is half of Wang Shifan's mastermind. Feng Baodu muttered indifferently.

"Oh?" Li Cunhuan just asked casually, but he didn't expect that this Zhou Yanpet was actually Wang Shifan's person. I just don't know why I came to find myself?

Li Cunhuan's face turned solemn again, and he shouted outside: "Someone! Drag it down and chop it up and feed it to the dogs! ”

"I'm afraid the dog won't eat the stinky skin of the poor road, why don't you give it to Pinglu, so angry that Wang Fan has seven tricks to smoke, wouldn't it be more wonderful?" When Zhou Yanpet heard this, he was not afraid, but replied with a smile.

Li Cunhuan was obviously slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately burst out laughing. "The hermit of the prosperous times, the mastermind of the troubled times!" After saying that, he waved his hand, signaled the two Iron Eagle soldiers who walked in, and were about to drag Zhou Yanpet out to leave.

"Thank you Your Highness for your compliment, Poor Dao thinks that he is just a small fish struggling in the turbid waters of troubled times! When you meet the master, you will be born, and if you can't meet it, you will be a mountain person. Zhou Yanpet bowed his head and said.

Li Cunhuan nodded, looked at Jiang Xuanhui, and asked with a smile: "Sir, the official eunuch, right?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, there have been a few officials in the ancestors of the common people, but when you get to the common people's house, you have already fallen into the middle of the road." Jiang Xuanhui responded respectfully.

Li Cunhuan nodded, and commented: "The young man is tenacious, and he hates the world." You're an ambitious person! ”

Jiang Xuanhui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover up, not daring to answer.

Li Cunhuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's good for people to be ambitious." If all the people under my command were saints, I'm afraid that the third pig would have killed me Li Cunhuan for decades. As long as you have the ability, I dare to use you! So you don't have to worry about it either! ”

"Yes!" Jiang Xuanhui wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looking a little submissive, Li Cunhuan smiled and nodded, Li Cunhuan knew that dealing with this kind of person could not be as lenient as treating Zhou Yanpet, he needed to beat, and he needed to beat resolutely.

On the contrary, people like Zhou Yanpet have an ancient style, they just want to show their ambitions, and then they will choose to retire and return to the field. However, this kind of person also has the disadvantage of acting too casually.

Li Cunhuan opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Zhou......"

"Your Highness, don't say that Mr. is not Mr., just call Poor Dao an old Taoist!" Zhou Yanpet interrupted Li Cunhuan's words and said in a deep voice, but his eyes were looking at Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled, he knew that this was a temptation by Zhou Yanpet. didn't care, and said: "The title is just a code name, why should Mr. care?" If you like, it's okay for the Lone King to call Mr. Your Majesty! ”

No matter how unruly Zhou Yanpet was, he was also frightened into a cold sweat by Li Cunhuan's words, Your Majesty, is this what people can call casually? hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't play the poor way, the poor road is timid, but you can't stand the fright!" ”

Li Cunhuan knew that Zhou Yan was subdued, and he didn't chase after him, and said to Feng Baodu on the side: "You write the appointment letter on the side!" ”

"Yes!" Feng Baodu walked to the side and sat down on the small bookcase, holding a pen and preparing to write.

"Mr. Zhou Yanpet was appointed as the general doctor of Youzhou. Jiang Xuanhui was appointed to join the army as Lu Longlu. Li Cunhuan instructed, although Li Cunhuan's words were short, they needed to be retouched, and they were not appointed so quickly.

After finishing speaking, Li Cunhuan said with a smile: "Two days later, the two gentlemen will send an envoy to Pinglu, as for what the task is, I think the two of them already know, otherwise they would not have the courage to unveil the list!" ”

"Know a little bit about it!" Jiang Xuanhui said modestly.

"I know, I just want Wang Shifan to surrender. I can come out and convince Wang Shifan about this, but I need His Highness to do something for me! Zhou Yanpet said with a solemn expression.

"Oh? I don't know what I need to do? Li Cunhuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It is necessary for His Highness and Wang Fan to ride back alone in front of the formation, and swear by blood! Abide by their respective agreements, or the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! Pinglu will be able to take it down without blood, and if His Highness does not agree, Poor Dao will not dare to send an envoy. Zhou Yanpet said solemnly.

"No!" Feng Baodu stood up suddenly, and vigorously objected, "Your Highness, you are injured now, in case that Wang Fan attacks in front of the formation, Your Highness is afraid that he will suffer from the other party's poisonous hands, and it will be too late to regret it at that time!" ”

"Sit down!" Li Cunhuan frowned and shouted.

When Feng Baodu heard this, even if he was unwilling, he didn't dare to anger Li Cunhuan, so he hurriedly sat down.

"How sure is sir!?" Li Cunhuan asked cautiously, how could Li Cunhuan not know about the concerns that Feng Baodu had just said, but in order to quell the rebellion in Pinglu as soon as possible, he had to take risks. Pinglu is too important to Li Cunhuan.

First of all, the Pinglu Navy is more powerful than the Lulong Navy, and Pinglu Dengzhou is the base where the first shipyard in the north is located, and its location is the Bohai Strait, which can block the only passage from the Bohai Sea to the open sea at any time. Wang Shifan only needs to hold this place, and it will cause a heavy blow to Lulong's maritime trade. And Wang Shifan only needs to support for a while, Li Keyong and Zhu Wen may have licked their wounds, and it is no longer so easy for Li Cunhuan to develop during this time.

"Eighty percent!" Zhou Yanpet stretched out eight fingers and said solemnly.

"Good!" Li Cunhuan agreed, "It's enough to be eighty percent sure!" I agreed to this request, do you have any other requests, sir? ”

"No more!" Zhou Yanpet shook his head and said.

Jiang Xuanhui, who was on the side, was moved in his heart and said, "Your Highness, the common people...... The lower official has a request! ”

Li Cunhuan frowned and asked, "Oh?" Jiang Qing didn't know what to ask for? ”

"I need a secret decree from Your Highness! Although Pinglu was resisting, everyone was not optimistic about Pinglu, including Pinglu's generals, they just hoped that they could survive His Highness's onslaught for a period of time, so that Li Keyong and Zhu Wen could contain His Highness. His Highness gave me a secret decree that only required me to allow forgiveness and reward for the mistakes committed by the generals of Pinglu. The subordinate officials are sure that even if Wang Shifan refuses to surrender, his subordinates will tie him up and surrender! Jiang Xuanhui said respectfully.

Li Cunhuan was silent for a while, shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't think you are a thick-faced and black-hearted person!" His face is full of righteousness, but his stomach is full of bad water! Yes, the reward is 100 times! ”

"Your Highness!" When Jiang Xuanhui heard this, he was overjoyed and said that he now has no rice at home, although he has an official position. But it wasn't immediately famous, with Li Cunhuan's Baiguan, things would be much easier.

"No thanks, you have talent, and I won't spare that money!" Li Cunhuan said with a smile.

"Your Highness......" Feng Baodu finally didn't hold back, and said in his heart: Even if he is pulled out by His Royal Highness today, he will not hesitate to dismiss his post and beat dozens of military sticks!

"What's wrong?" Li Cunhuan's tone was obviously a little displeased.

"Your Highness, this Zhou Yanpet is the mastermind of Wang Shifan after all, and His Royal Highness agreed to his request so unexplained! If he is a fine work sent by Wang Shiran, wouldn't His Highness be a wolf in the mouth of a tiger! Feng Baodu strongly admonished.

"Your Highness, please think twice!" When Jiang Xuanhui heard this, he didn't know whether he was afraid of being affected by Zhou Yan's pet, or because he wanted to attack competitors, or because he wanted to be anxious to behave towards Li Cunhuan, he also stood up to admonish.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and asked Zhou Yanzhong, who neither refuted nor begged for mercy, "Can you bring your family with you this time?" ”

"Nope! The family has already died in the war...... In the midst of war. No family. When Zhou Yanpet talked about the disaster of war, there was a deep sadness in his eyes, and his voice suddenly became a little whimpering.

"Your Highness, since ancient times, you have sincerely taken refuge in others, and you don't bring your family as hostages? Here's why! Feng Baodu persuaded bitterly.

"Then I believe that you are not a fine work sent by Wang Shifan!" Li Cunhuan's answer was unexpected, and he actually chose to trust Zhou Yanpet instead of meticulously.

"Ahh Not only Feng Baodu, but even Zhou Yanpet was taken aback by Li Cunhuan's words and exclaimed. Zhou Yanzhong believes that no matter how large Li Cunhuan is, he will only tactfully veto his envoy, put himself under house arrest, and wait until Wang Shifan is eliminated before appointing him. But I don't want Li Cunhuan to be so 'magnanimous'!

Li Cunhuan replied with a smile: "You will say that you have taken refuge in others since ancient times, where do you have no family members?" And when I watched Mr. Zhou talk about his family, his eyes showed deep sadness. This is not something that can be played casually, plus your previous information, since this is the case, it means that Mr. Zhou has no family. If he is a meticulous work sent by Wang Shifan, there will definitely be a family member who brings pretense to earn the trust of the lonely king. ”

"Your Highness! Zhou Yanpet is young and young, and he can continue the strings! Feng Baodu was still unwilling.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said with a smile: "The Lone King believes in Mr. Zhou. Besides, if Mr. Zhou is really a fine work sent by Wang Shifan, the lonely king is deceived, and the lonely king has no eyes. What Li Cunhuan said later was categorical, obviously telling Feng Baodu that there was no room for maneuver.

A deep touch flashed in Zhou Yanpet's eyes, there is a saying since ancient times, a soldier dies for a confidant. When everyone doubted his intentions, Li Cunhuan trusted him without hesitation because of his words, and even handed over his surname to him.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Yanpet knelt down suddenly, with a hint of whimper in his voice, "Poor Dao thank you for Your Highness's trust, Poor Dao will definitely do his best to help His Highness, and soon put down the Pinglu Rebellion!" Let His Highness have the opportunity to lead the army and level Hebei! ”

Li Cunhuan's face changed slightly, he glanced at Zhou Yanpet deeply, and sighed: "The lonely king gets you, even if there is another change in Heyang Temple!" ”
