Chapter 275: Fellow Townsman Tragedy
Zhang Xuan's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, the Bohai Society has developed very rapidly in Hebei and Shandong in the past two years, including Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Dou Qingde, Lu Mingyue and other bandits are closely related to the Bohai Society, they use the bandits to force the famous family to cooperate with them, and the family has affected the local government, Liang Zhi has become a member of the Bohai Society in this way, and does not hide it from His Royal Highness, the Bohai Society has won over Weichen and Zhang Dashuai through intermediaries, and was rejected by us. ”
Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, saw that Yang Qi was listening very attentively, and continued: "At present, the forces of the Bohai Society have been squeezed out of Qingzhou, but as far as Wei Chen knows, the forces of the Bohai Society have infiltrated the Wagang Army. ”
Yang Qi sighed, "The bandits are not terrible, what is terrible is these political forces, a Guanlong nobleman has given the imperial grandfather a headache, and now the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty are sinking again, menacing, two days ago, Yuwenshu told the imperial grandfather that the Bohai Society secretly colluded with the Yuan family, which made the imperial grandfather very angry, but unfortunately he could not solve the problems for the imperial grandfather." ”
Zhang Xuan had to admire Yu Wenshu's two-faced and three-edged swords, seeing that the tripartite alliance had no gains, he turned his head and betrayed the Yuan family, but unfortunately Yuan Min was too stupid to believe that he was a speculative politician like Yu Wenshu, and he was betrayed.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but secretly think, since Yu Wenshu had already put the boulder on the edge of the cliff, why didn't he push it by the way and let the boulder fall off the cliff completely?
Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, Wechen and his subordinates are competing everywhere in the capital, and I really know a lot of people, all three sects and nine streams, if Your Highness is interested, Wechen can find out about the activities of Bohai in the capital." ”
Yang Qi pondered for a moment, the reason why he took the initiative to mention the Bohai Society. It was out of his distrust of Yuwenshu that he was very worried that Yuwenshu would use the matter of the Bohai Society for personal gain and damage the interests of the Great Sui, but he could not get the truth from other channels, so he tried to ask Zhang Xuan about the situation of the Bohai Society.
Now Zhang Xuan offered to inquire about the movements of the Bohai Society in the capital for himself, which is better than just listening to Yuwen's words.
Yang Qi nodded. took out a gold medal and gave it to Zhang Xuan, "This is the night gold medal given to Gu by the emperor's grandfather, Gu will lend it to you temporarily, you can use it to get through at night, as long as you get the situation of the Bohai Society, you can report to Gu Yu at any time at night." ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Zhang Xuan took the gold medal and sighed in his heart, who said that King Yan snubbed himself and didn't trust himself, if he really didn't trust him. Will you give yourself the gold medal for night walking?
Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left, Yang Qi looked at his back and walked away, his eyes became very complicated, even he didn't know whether to trust this Zhang Xuan or not, but he did not have a capable subordinate, so that he knew that Yu Wenshu had bad intentions, but he couldn't do anything in his memory. Zhang Xuan can curb Yu Wenshu's arrogance, as well as the Bohai Society.
Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh lowly
Xu Yin hurriedly came to Bibo Liquor Shop. He walked into a private room on the second floor and saw Zhang Xuan standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking out of the window.
"Is there something the general is looking for me?" Xu Yin stepped forward and asked.
"Mr. Xu, you should know why I am looking for you." Jang Hyun looked back at him and smiled.
Xu Yin groaned and said, "The general is for the Bohai Society?" ”
Zhang Xuan nodded, "I believe that Yu Wenshu knows a lot more than I imagined. ”
Xu Yin smiled bitterly, "The general is right. He spent a lot of manpower and energy for the Bohai Society, and he really grasped the next move of the Bohai Society. ”
.......
In an abandoned school yard outside the southern city, several pairs of warriors are fighting each other, which is the most common situation in Luoyang City in the past month, and the warriors are fighting each other. Learn martial arts and engage as many weapons as you can to improve your actual combat experience and build momentum for yourself.
At this time, in the southwest corner of the school field, two burly warriors are fighting fiercely together, one makes a big knife, the other makes a long-handled copper hammer, the two are evenly matched, the battle is extremely fierce, in a corner outside the field, Li Zitong and Wu Yunzhao and other more than a dozen people watched the fierce battle between the two from a distance.
The one who made the long knife among the two was Li Zitong's sworn brother Meng Haigong, who was over forty years old and was also the second person in the Eastern Navy led by Li Zitong, Meng Haigong was nicknamed 'Dinghai Knife', good at water warfare, strong martial arts, and skilled in swordsmanship.
And the person who took the single-handled copper hammer is called Wu Shaoyou, and Meng Haigong is a fellow villager, and he is also a famous ranger in the Central Plains, making a fifty-pound long-handled copper hammer, this time the two met by chance in Luoyang, recounting the friendship of fellow villagers, and couldn't help but make an appointment to try it out.
Li Zitong looked at the battle between the two, and he saw that Wu Shaoyou's long-handled copper hammer was dancing impermeable, quite orderly, and he couldn't help but have the idea of loving talent in his heart.
He smiled and asked Wu Yunzhao next to him, "What does Yunzhao think of this person's martial arts?" ”
Wu Yunzhao smiled slightly: "You can be a good general on the battlefield!" ”
A good general means above average, and in Wu Yunzhao's eyes, he can only be regarded as barely qualified, but he can fight with Meng Haigong for more than 30 rounds, which is not bad.
The two of them were fellow villagers on the school field, just to learn martial arts, of course, until the point, the two of them staggered their horses, each received their weapons, and laughed together.
Meng Haigong patted him on the shoulder, "It's noon, let's go have a drink together." ”
Wu Shaoyou was about thirty years old, his face was honest, and he was not good at words, so he nodded, "Then it will trouble Brother Meng." ”
"What's the trouble, let's go!"
Meng Haigong took Wu Shaoyou forward to introduce Li Zitong, and Li Zitong had the intention to recruit this copper hammer general, so he smiled happily: "Haigong's brother is my brother, I have a treat, let's have a drink." ”
Everyone entered the city and came to the Central Plains Wine Shop near Houzaimun, found a private room and sat down, and the bartender quickly served them wine and food.
Li Zitong was in a really good mood in the past two days, first the Son of Heaven agreed to his recruitment conditions, did not disband his army, allowed him to continue to be stationed in Donghai County, and agreed to make him a general and a marquis of Donghai County.
Although the additional condition was to assist the Sui army in exterminating Sun Xuanya and Wang Bo, Li Zitong did not think it was difficult to achieve, he knew Sun Xuanya's details very well, as long as he did not send troops to Xuzhou to contain the Sui army when Yang Yichen attacked Sun Xuanya, Sun Xuanya would be defeated.
Although he accepted the imperial court's recruitment to make Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang and others dissatisfied, he would only consider his own interests and not care about the thoughts of other rebel leaders.
What's more, the imperial court wants to set him up as an example and use it to recruit other rebels, how can he not seize this opportunity and blackmail the imperial court again, at least the imperial court has to solve its own problem of insufficient military rations.
Li Zitong picked up the wine glass and got up and smiled at everyone: "Everyone has been with me for many years, and I will finally come out, no matter what position I am in, I will never treat you badly, I will give you a glass first." ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and at this time, Meng Haigong poured Wu Shaoyou a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Why have you rarely heard from Brother Wu over the years?" ”
Wu Shaoyou sighed, "The year before last, I killed a county magistrate in Liang County, was wanted by the imperial court, and had to die in the world, and now I am working incognito as a martial artist in a martial arts hall in Chengdu to earn some money to make ends meet." ”
Li Zitong frowned, "With such a strong martial arts as Brother Wu, he actually became a martial artist in the martial arts hall, it is a pity!" ”
"So what's the solution? I can only blame myself for being too impulsive at the beginning, but I am not willing to sink like this, so I took advantage of this hero meeting to come to Luoyang to look for opportunities. ”
Meng Hai will understand what Li Zitong means, in fact, he brought Li Zitong to see them compete today, just to introduce Wu Shaoyou to Li Zitong.
He and Li Zitong exchanged a look, and Meng Haigong smiled: "Back then, your father and I went on a boat together in Juyeze, and it was also a lifelong friendship, since the son of the deceased is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, so be it!" You will follow me in the future and be my lieutenant, what do you think? ”
Wu Shaoyou glanced at Li Zitong, and Li Zitong smiled slightly: "I will make you General Zhenwei!" ”
Wu Shaoyou was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and saluted, "I was originally working for Dashuai!" ”
Li Zitong laughed, "Since it's a family, come!" Let's have another drink. ”
Li Zitong was very interested, and he drank several jars of wine with everyone, and he was drunk, not only him, but Meng Haigong and Wu Yunzhao also drank a little too much, but Wu Shaoyou, who had just taken refuge in Li Zitong, remained sober, and he took the initiative to say to everyone: "I'll carry the handsome back!" ”
Without waiting for Li Zitong's personal soldiers to stop him, he carried Li Zitong on his back, and more than a dozen personal soldiers had no choice but to help Meng Haigong and others to walk towards their residence.
Back in the house, Wu Shaoyou carefully put Li Zitong on the bed, covered him with a futon, and the soldiers saw that the lord was too drunk to wake up, so they stopped bothering him and closed the door for him.
At this time, Wu Shaoyou smiled at the soldiers: "I'll go back to the inn to pack up my things, and then I'll come over." ”
The soldiers also knew that Wu Shaoyou was already their own, so they smiled and said, "If General Wu has a lot of things, let's go and help together!" ”
"I don't have anything, it's just some small things, a small package, everyone, I'll be back in half an hour."
Wu Shaoyou said goodbye and left, but he never came back, until the evening still did not see his shadow, the soldiers felt a little bad, and hurriedly went into the house to visit the sleeping Li Zitong, everyone was stunned, Li Zitong's face was dark, and he had been dead for a long time.
