Chapter 46: Li Lu forms an alliance

In fact, there is a reason why Li Kuangshou is so angry, but he is not angry at the people who were plundered. In Li Kuangshou's eyes, those people are as humble as ants, anyway, now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, no few people have fled to Lulong over the years. One or two hundred thousand fewer people just made Li Kuangshou frown.

The reason for Li Kuangshou's anger was that he didn't mind hearing a small official say not long ago: "This year is really miserable! When Li Jiedu was here, where did the Khitans dare to plunder so much. And alas! ……”

Li Kuangshou appointed himself as Lu Longliu, but he was not a festival envoy, and this festival envoy undoubtedly referred to the dead Li Congwei. This undoubtedly made Li Kuangshou extremely angry, even if someone had ordered the execution of the short-sighted little official, it still couldn't calm the anger in Li Kuangshou's heart for half a minute.

Although Li Congwei annihilated his younger brother and daughter-in-law, Li Kuangshou rebelled, which is a ridiculous reason from the perspective of righteousness. It's like the princes of King Zhou You's beacon play. Of course, from a personal point of view, Li Kuangshou is right, at least Li Kuangshou feels that he is right.

But in the eyes of Lu Long's hierarchy at all levels, this Li Kuangshou is too disregarded for the overall situation and too stingy. As a result, Li Kuangshou was okay in the two battles of defeating Li Congwei and Liu Rengong's rebels at the beginning, but he seemed to have become a tiger in the back. attacked Chengde, not only defeated, but also pushed Chengde, who was fighting against Hedong, to Hedong's side. As a result, among the four towns in Hebei, three towns fought against Lu Long, making Lu Long's position very dangerous.

And later he also gave Shi Shanyou to seize Ulju, which was the loss of land. This is undoubtedly a further blow to Li Kuangshou's prestige. Fortunately, Li Cunhuan fought for him and not only defeated Li Keyong. also brought thousands of soldiers and horses from Hedong and more than 10,000 households, plus Li Cunxiao, the world's first fierce general. It's also kind of a fig leaf.

But now even the Khitans, who were quite obedient to Yueping, have come to take advantage of the fire to rob, which undoubtedly makes Li Kuangshou extremely angry. In any case, Li Kuangshou will not admit that he is worse than his brother Li Congwei. However, now the idea of remembering Li Congwei has appeared among lower-level officials, which is undoubtedly a big slap in the face of Li Kuangshou.

In fact, it is very simple, people who have gained power through usurpation will always have an inferiority complex in their hearts. I want to make others think that I am better than my predecessor and that my choice to usurp the throne is the right one!

And the most successful of those who have been recognized for usurping the throne is undoubtedly Tang Taizong. Generally speaking, the founding emperor Yanjing is well-known, but there is one who is not, that is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who called him a very capable son, Tang Taizong. When I think of Tang Taizong, I always think of him as good, but as for his changes in Xuanwumen, people always beautify him or even ignore him.

And Li Kuangshou also hopes to achieve such a height as Tang Taizong through his own efforts, so he will not allow any failure, and he does not want him to appear.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Li Kuangshou, who was originally in an irritable mood, was even more angry. Rushing to the door, he roared, "Who's making noise outside!" Pull it out and beat a hundred sticks. ”

Lu Yu, who had just stepped into the threshold, couldn't help but pause, revealing an embarrassed look. "Xiaguan, this Xiaguan ......"

Li Kuangshou was also a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Palmetto, after all, Lu Palmetto was one of his two major think tanks, and he couldn't beat him with a hundred military sticks because of the other party's footsteps. Coughing a few times in embarrassment, Li Kuangshou ignored the words just now, waved his hand, and let the tooth soldiers who had just come to the door and were about to catch Lu Yu go down. He asked, "Is there anything you have to do at this time?" ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he put away his embarrassed expression and showed a calm look. I didn't mind glancing at the Dali inkstone on the ground, and I felt that my choice was not wrong. coughed, took out a fold from his arms, and said with a smile: "Jie Shuai, great joy!" Li Cunhuan, the assassin of Danzhou, broke through 8,000 enemies, killed 3,000 heads, and captured more than 4,000 Khitans. Less than one or two out of ten escapers are a great victory! ”

Li Kuangshou heard the words everywhere, but he didn't believe it very much, there was a hesitant look in his eyes, and he asked tremblingly: "You, what did you just say?" ”

Lu Yu didn't mind, a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he repeated what he had just said with a smile, and handed over the fold at the same time. Li Kuangshou didn't wait for Lu Yu to finish speaking, he had already snatched the fold, opened the fold and looked at it at a glance. Li Kuangshou really became happier the more he watched it, the bigger the smile on the corner of his mouth, and after reading it, he had already let go of his throat and laughed.

The laughter was unprecedentedly excited, Li Kuangshou walked a few steps excitedly, squinted happily and said, "Okay!" Good! Good! Huan'er really deserves to be my good boy! Immediately order that these heads will be passed on to the counties of Lulong Prefecture! ”

Lu Yu lost no time in saying: "Marshal, then I don't know how to reward General Li Cunhuan?" ”

Li Kuangshou couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this, Li Cunhuan is only nineteen years old now, and he is already in the position of a state regiment training envoy. If it's a feudal official, it's not easy to do. If he was rewarded with treasures, Li Kuangshou didn't have so much money, and Lu Long's treasury would have already been left because of the wars over the years. In addition, Li Kuangshou's usurpation of the throne and a series of civil strife wars before him used a lot of money, where is there any money to reward Li Cunhuan.

Li Congwei thought hard for a long time and had no choice, pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Let's discuss this matter tomorrow!" ”

Lu Yu was not easy to force, so he could only nod and retreat.

As soon as Lu Palmetto returned to the study, he asked his confidants to invite the eldest grandson Chengliang to meet, and it would be strange to see someone here, why would Lu Palmetto invite the eldest grandson Chengliang to meet?

In fact, it was Li Cunhuan who was bribed by An Shihuan to Yang Zhong before, which led to being put on a side. This will make him learn to be obedient, and send the eldest grandson Chengliang to Youzhou, not to see Li Kuangshou first, but to see Lu Yu. Lu Yu and Yang Zhongping have always been Li Kuangshou's two major think tanks, and they are also extremely important left and right arms. However, this pair of left and right arms is not very harmonious, smiling on the surface, looking like a good brother, but secretly there is a sword and a sword, and he can't wait for the other party to die, so that he can become the first strategist by Li Kuangshou's side.

Helplessly, the intelligence of the two sides is about the same, this is not the idea of foreign aid, Yang Zhongping has roped in An Shihuan's group of generals during this time, and he is pressing step by step, but Lu Yu has not had a good night's sleep.

Li Cunhuan's eyes and ears in Youzhou City sent this information to Li Cunhuan, and Li Cunhuan took the opportunity to join Lu Palmetto. Lu Palmetto didn't think much of Li Cunhuan, but the eldest grandson Chengliang sent three hundred taels of silver, and Li Cunhuan's residence in Youzhou attracted Lu Palmetto. However, now Lu Yu felt that Li Cunhuan's strength would definitely expand after this battle, so he immediately wooed the eldest grandson Chengliang, and at the same time, the two also discussed how to fight for the maximum interests tomorrow.
