Chapter 503: Negotiations at the Governor's Palace

When Governor Yang sighed gloomily, Xu Liang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Liang's trip completely broke with the trilateral governor Yang He, and even had to wash the trilateral governor's palace in the end, which was a last resort for Xu Liang.

Whenever there is a chance, Xu Liang doesn't want to go to the step of meeting each other. Because once it comes to that point, it will also announce the complete end of Xu Liang's career in the Ming Dynasty, even if the court is finally afraid of Xu Liang's military power, the court will only do everything possible to suppress Xu Liang, and it is impossible to reuse him. In his heart, Xu Liang still wants to take the right path.

What Xu Liang wants is just deterrence.

Governor Yang looked at Xu Liang and said, "What conditions does General Xu have, let's open it as soon as possible." ”

Xu Liang stopped Liang Jun, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "What, Governor Yang wants to talk to General Ben outside the gate of the Governor's Palace?" ”

Song Shiwen listened, stopped in front of Governor Yang, stared at Xu Liang nervously, and hissed: "Your Excellency the Governor promised to talk to you, that's to give you face!" Xu Liang, you don't have to make an inch! ”

Governor Yang also stared at Xu Liang with a gloomy gaze, and asked slowly, "Where do you want to talk?" ”

Xu Liang looked at the gate of the Governor's Mansion with ill intentions, and said: "After Governor Yang took office, General Ben has never sat in the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, and today is a rare opportunity, why don't Governor Yang invite General Ben in to sit for a while?" ”

Governor Yang's face changed, and he stared at Xu Liang uncertainly. Song Shiwen shouted again: "Presumptuous! The second hall is the place where the Governor decides the important tasks of the military aircraft, how can you be allowed to go wild! ”

Xu Liang frowned, took a step forward, glanced at Song Shiwen, and snorted coldly: "Is the surname of these three governors' mansions surnamed Yang or Song?" Before Governor Yang could answer, a little master jumped up and down, what kind of road! ”

Song Shiwen was so angry that his face was flushed. glared at Xu Liang and gasped.

Governor Yang turned around and walked towards the inside of the yamen, saying as he walked: "Since you want to enter the second hall so much, then come in." ”

Xu Liang listened and smiled slightly. Just as he was about to step forward, Tietou whispered on the side: "Young master, beware of deception." ”

Xu Liang shook his head lightly and walked towards the Governor's Palace. The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion guarding the door looked at Xu Liang with a vigilant face, Xu Liang took a step forward, and the guards took a step back.

Tietou followed closely with a few Tsing Yi guards. Behind him were the soldiers of the Liang Army, who were densely surrounded by the Governor's Palace.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Liang had walked the last step, and he had arrived directly below the gate of the Governor's Palace.

Song Shiwen looked at Xu Liang with a look of resentment. Suddenly inserted behind Xu Liang, stopped Tietou and several Tsing Yi guards, and glanced at Tie Head and a group of Tsing Yi guards with a cold gaze.

"According to the rules of the Governor's Palace, Lord Xu can go in, and the guards will stay!" Song Shiwen shouted.

Tietou sneered, and said disdainfully: "What if I have to follow in?" ”

Song Shiwen's face changed, and he insisted on himself: "The rules of the Governor's Mansion over the years cannot be violated!" ”

"Hey!" The iron head snorted coldly, and was about to get angry. I only heard Xu Liang say: "Ah Tie stays, and the official can go in alone!" An hour later. If the official hasn't come out yet, you will order to attack it! ”

Tietou was stunned, saw Xu Liangruo's meaningful eyes, and said, "Then young master, you have to be careful." ”

Xu Liang looked up to the sky and smiled, and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, it's just a governor's mansion." It's hard to stop me Xu Liang! ”

After Xu Liang finished saying this, he strode into the governor's palace first. Seeing this, Song Shiwen glared at Tie Tou fiercely, and also followed up in the Governor's Mansion. The gates of the Doge's Palace were closed again.

The roads in the Governor's Palace were also lined with angry soldiers from the Governor's Palace. Seeing Xu Liang come in casually, they all glared angrily.

Song Shiwen followed closely, crossed Xu Liang in a few steps, stopped in front of Xu Liang, and said with a cold smile: "Xu Liang, you are too arrogant." I really thought that the soldiers surrounded the Governor's Palace, and you came in alone, and the Governor didn't dare to do anything to you? Haha, God help me! Song Shiwen sneered again and again, his face sank suddenly, and he shouted: "Come on, take him down for me!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion on both sides of the aisle had been waiting for this order for a long time, and immediately several people shouted and rushed towards Xu Liang.

Xu Liang looked at Song Shiwen's eyes, like he was looking at a big idiot! Facing the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who rushed over, Xu Liang stood as steady as Mount Tai.

Seeing this, the smile on Song Shiwen's face quickly bloomed! I was secretly happy in my heart, this Xu Liang was still too young and self-righteous. As long as Xu Liang is caught, those troops who obey Xu Liang's orders will be thrown into the trap, and as soon as Xu Liang falls into the hands of Song Shiwen, the situation will inevitably be reversed quickly! The initiative was in the hands of Governor Yang.

It's just that Song Shiwen's smiling face was still in the process of blooming, and it was like a flash in the pan, and it immediately wilted. Song Shiwen only felt a flower in front of him, Xu Liang came to Song Shiwen in an instant, a snowy dagger was on Song Shiwen's neck, and the chill on the dagger seeped into Song Shiwen's neck, making him shudder.

All this happened so fast that Song Shiwen didn't see clearly how Xu Liang appeared in front of him. Moreover, Song Shiwen confirmed that the distance between himself and Xu Liang was not short, about three meters, and this distance was a safe distance in Song Shiwen's senses.

Safe distances are no longer safe. Song Shiwen looked at Xu Liang with shocked eyes.

"If they dare to take another step, your head will move!" Xu Liang said coldly to Song Shiwen.

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who surrounded them were all frightened, and in the blink of an eye, Master Song fell into the hands of others, but these soldiers did not dare to act rashly. "Retreat, go back!" Song Shiwen had long lost his calm demeanor, and shouted at the personal soldiers of the Governor's Palace.

Xu Liang lifted Song Shiwen's neck and shouted, "Go, take me to see Governor Yang." ”

With Song Shiwen in his hands, Xu Liang's path behind him went extremely smoothly, although a group of personal soldiers from the Governor's Mansion followed closely behind Xu Liang.

In the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, there was only one person in the three governors, Yang He, who saw Xu Liang come in with a dagger and his master Song Shiwen, his face sank, and then he saw a group of soldiers from the Governor's Mansion behind the two, and guessed what was going on. He shouted to all the soldiers, "Retreat outside the hall, and you are not allowed to come in without the orders of the governor." ”

After the soldiers withdrew. Governor Yang looked at Xu Liang and frowned, "General Xu, please let Mr. Song go." ”

Xu Liang glanced at the arrangement of the second hall, and after confirming that there was no ambush and deception in the second hall, he took away the dagger around Song Shiwen's neck.

Song Shiwen was like a frightened rabbit, quickly leaving Xu Liang more than ten steps away. He sat next to Governor Yang. glared at Xu Liang angrily.

Xu Liang sat on a chair in the second hall for a long time, looked at the empty coffee table in front of him, shook his head and sighed: "Your Excellency the Governor is really stingy, everyone who comes is a guest, why don't you even have a cup of warm water?" ”

Governor Yang snorted lightly and said, "Even if you Xu Liang is a guest today, you are also a villain. Without further ado, Xu Liang, what do you want to do today? ”

Xu Liang saw the temples on Governor Yang's head bulging one by one. Apparently he was trying to suppress his anger. Not wanting to irritate him, Xu Liang said to Governor Yang: "Xu's request is quite simple, I want the Governor to fold to the court and withdraw the proposal to dismiss the Liang army." ”

Governor Yang was silent for a while. Xu Liang meant that he understood very well that the cause of all this was caused by Governor Yang's repeated requests to the court to dismiss the Liang army. It's just that it is he Yang He who proposes to be dismissed, and if this will succumb to Xu Liang's military might, he will ask for revocation again. is so inconsistent, where to put his old face Yang He?

Governor Yang stared at Xu Liang. He said in a deep voice: "What if the official doesn't agree?" ”

Xu Liang spread his hands and said very innocently: "Then Xu has no other way, so he has to break the net with the governor." The Liang army is the foundation of my Xu Liang, in order to protect the Liang army, I Xu Liang said that I will not be going to wash the trilateral governor's palace in blood today. ”

Song Shiwen shouted with pity: "Xu Liang, this is to punish the Nine Clans!" ”

Xu Liang snorted coldly. No response.

Governor Yang groaned, unable to make a decision for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Liang decided to add another fire, so he said: "You might as well tell Governor Yang that before the will of the court comes down." Governor Yang wants to remedy it, and there is still a chance. If the decree of the court's abolition has been made, the wood has been completed. Then, this official promises that before the Liang army is dismantled, this governor's palace will be killed cleanly! Governor Yang, you must not doubt the determination and ability of this officer. ”

Seeing that Governor Yang and Master Song's faces had changed drastically, Xu Liang changed his words, slowed down his tone, and said, "Actually, there is no need for Lord Governor to maintain such hostility towards me Xu Liang. I don't know whose rumors the Governor has heard, so he tried his best to deal with me Xu Liang. In fact, if you think about it, it is far more cost-effective to maintain a good relationship with me, Xu Liang. ”

When Governor Yang heard this, his eyes glanced at Master Song, it was obvious that Governor Yang was determined to deal with Xu Liang, and this Master Song did not spare any effort.

Sure enough, feeling the gaze cast by Governor Yang, Master Song couldn't help but speak up again: "Xu Liang, you say it nicely, as a civil minister, you hold the power of the army. And Dong Weng, as the governor of the three sides and the head of the northwest, if you let you develop and grow, won't you raise a tiger for trouble? ”

Xu Liang glanced at Song Shiwen, shook his head and sighed, "Master Song, it seems that you haven't learned arithmetic well. Such a simple arithmetic problem can be miscalculated. ”

As soon as these words came out, Governor Yang and Song Shiwen both stared at Xu Liang. Governor Yang said in a deep voice: "Xu Liang, what Mr. Song said, this governor thinks is very reasonable. If Xu Liang were in the position of the Governor, you would definitely do the same. ”

Xu Liang sighed: "Have you ever thought about it, Lord Governor, that I, Xu Liang, have heavy troops, and several guerrilla generals in Shaanxi who have heavy troops, and the chief officers are basically from my subordinates. The Governor took great pains to suppress such a person, but he never thought that one inadvertent move would force me Xu Liang and tens of thousands of elite Liang troops to raise the flag and rebel? When the time comes, as the governor of the tripartite, will you be able to afford the consequences? ”

According to Xu Liang, once Xu Liang was forced to rebel, the entire northwest would fall back into turmoil, and millions of people would suffer from the war and be displaced. And as the governor of the three sides, he is to blame. And with Emperor Chongzhen's temper, most of them ended up being dismissed and exiled.

Thinking of this, Governor Yang suddenly felt that it was wrong for him to deal with Xu Liang so deliberately. Looking up at Song Shiwen, Song Shiwen also looked over, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and then quickly separated.

Xu Liang saw the eye contact between the two in his eyes, smiled slightly, and then said: "On the contrary, if the Governor treats me Xu Liang well, then at least, the Liang army under my Xu Liang will not be embarrassed by the Governor." And I Xu Liang's friendship with several leading generals in the northwest, Dai Feng, Luo Rucai, Wan Wenshan and others from the Liang army needless to say, famous generals like Qingyang guerrilla He Renlong, Yansui general He Huchen, in previous years, have more or less received the favor of their own officials. If my lord treats me Xu Liang well, I Xu Liang will be grateful for it, maybe I will be the governor for the liver and brain, and then die. ”

After a pause, Xu Liang said with deep meaning: "More importantly, with the effectiveness of my Xu Liang, the governor's appeasement policy must have won a big victory long ago." Why is it that it is difficult to ride a tiger to get to the current situation. ”

The look of surprise on Governor Yang's face flashed, and then he snorted coldly: "This governor's plan to appease everything, everything is going well, how can it be difficult to ride a tiger!" ”

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Really? How did I hear that the leader of the people's army, Shang Tianlong, the fourth lady and others, had been talking to each other for several months because of the big disagreement with the governor about the resettlement costs after the surrender, and Master Song had been talking to each other for several months, but they had not been settled? Could it be that my sources are wrong? ”

Governor Yang was speechless. Xu Liang's words hit Governor Yang's weakness. Thanks to the more than 100,000 taels of silver allocated by the court, Governor Yang's appeasement business was very prosperous at first. But with the death of 100,000 taels of silver, the appeasement behind became more and more difficult.

Especially the Shangtianlong, Fourth Miss and other militia soldiers and horses entrenched in the mountainous area of Gongchang Prefecture, because the final surrender and resettlement costs were not negotiated, these two groups of people and horses became more and more unpretentious to Song Shiwen, the special envoy of Governor Yang's recruitment.

Governor Yang said with a strong smile: "This last few groups of people's army, this governor has already arranged. ”

Xu Liang looked at Governor Yang with a smile, and arched his hand and said, "Xu also believes that Governor Yang has already made arrangements. For example, apportioning the fee to the rich gentry in the northwest or something. However, I think that even if Governor Yang succeeds in your appeasement work, once the resettlement of those people's troops is consumed, with the urine of the people's army in various places, the northwest will not be far from the chaos. Dare to ask the Governor, how should you deal with this situation? ”

This is exactly what happened to Governor Yang's heart. Due to the successive defeats of Zhaofu Yin, according to the report below, the two people's armies that surrendered first showed signs of rebellion.

Governor Yang sighed lightly: "This is also the aspect that makes this Governor make up his mind to target you. In the event that the people's armies in various places surrender and rebel, and the governor does not have a strong army available, then the internal and external troubles will be in danger, and the situation of the officials will be critical. ”

Xu Liang smiled, looked at Governor Yang, and said demagogically: "What if my Liang army is willing to share the worries of the Governor?" (To be continued......)
