Chapter 227: Desperate Mentality

Gao Yu also learned the news in the shortest possible time.

When he left Yangzhou, he naturally arranged a lot of eyeliner, any wind and grass in Yangzhou, he can know in the fastest time, it should be said that a few months have passed, Yangzhou has been calm, there has been no change, which reassures Gao Biao at the same time, accelerated the pace of action, but unfortunately his proposals and requirements, suffered from Tian Lingzi, Yang Fuguang and Zheng Zheng and others ruthlessly refused, and finally the task of pacifying the south fell to Li Rupei and Bi Shiduo.

Stemming from the contempt for Li Rupei and the Iron Army, Gao Biao did not take such arrangements to the imperial court to heart, he quickly wrote a letter to Bi Shiduo after the court meeting, asking the 100,000 troops to stand still, no matter what holy decree the emperor has, or what imperial decree the court has, do not think about pacifying the riots in the south, Gao Biao is very confident that as long as the chaos in the south is a mess, the court will naturally take the initiative to ask him to go back, as for the Iron Blood Army and Li Rupei, they have no ability to quell the riots in the south.

Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi died at the same time, and Bi Shiduo asked to be appointed as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

This news hesitated with a sharp sword and stabbed directly into Gao Yu's heart.

The situation finally had an uncontrollable reversal, and all of Gao Yu's plans, because of the arrival of this news, became an empty and hard work, and finally made wedding clothes for others.

When he received the news, Gao Biao was furious, for a few months, he continued to indulge in divination, from the results of divination, there is not much to do in the south, and the riots can be quelled in a short time, Gao Biao fully believes in the results of divination, but at this time, he found that the direction of his divination is wrong, maybe the riots in the south can be pacified quickly, but he did not come forward to pacify.

Gao Yu's remorse is indescribable, but unfortunately what he doesn't know is. Because he came to the capital and avoided the biggest tragedy, Gao Yu in history was killed by Bi Shiduo, and Bi Shiduo killed him Gao Piao, also to seize power.

Gao Biao knew very well that Bi Shiduo, who had an army of 100,000 troops, could quickly achieve his wish and serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, after all, Tian Lingzi and others in the court. There is not much opinion on Bi Shiduo, as long as Bi Shiduo is willing to be loyal, Tian Lingzi and others are not happy.

Gao Biao recalled that when Bi Shiduo and others took refuge in him, they were groveling, because the army under his command repeatedly defeated Huang Chao, so that Huang Chao had almost no place to stand. The reason why he grovels is that he is looking for an opportunity to make a comeback, but he didn't expect it. After all, Bi Shiduo and the others started as a rebel, how could they be so peaceful.

There is no regret pill in the world.

After all, Gao Biao is a famous general in the DPRK and China, and after learning the news, he immediately made an analysis. Bi Shiduo's soldiers bloodlessly controlled the 100,000 army and controlled Yangzhou, and the next task was to completely control Huainan Dao. This is not something that can be done casually, it takes a lot of effort, at least it needs to face Huang Chao directly, Bi Shiduo used to be a general under Huang Chao, which is equivalent to an apprentice challenging the master, and the outcome is uncertain.

Bi Shiduo's purpose was to become a feudal town, and he would not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, but would force the imperial court to allocate food and wages.

It should be said that Bi Shiduo's biggest opponent is Huang Chao, followed by Li Rupei and the Iron Army.

After all, Li Rupei is the prince of the court and the son of the Li Tang royal family, and he will never allow Bi Shiduo to be a feudal town in Huainan Province, and Huainan Road is a rich land in the Tang Dynasty, and such a good place is occupied by Bi Shiduo, and the emperor will not agree.

Gao Biao finally came to the conclusion that Bi Shiduo's life in Yangzhou was not easy.

Things have come to this point, Gao Biao must find a way to deal with it, the reason why he was able to become the prime minister of the DPRK and the central government is because of the 100,000 army under his command, this is a real force, a force that makes anyone fear, but now the situation has changed, if he can't control the 100,000 army, then he has no status in the court, Tian Lingzi and others can deal with him as much as they want, he Gao Biao has no power to fight back.

After thinking about these clearly, Gao Biao quickly made a decision, no matter what, he can't turn his face with Bi Shiduo at present, and even needs to win the position of Huainan Jiedu envoy for Bi Shiduo in the court, in that case, Bi Shiduo will not turn his face, nominally he can still shake the 100,000 army in Yangzhou, so that the 100,000 army will continue to be his reliance.

In the early dynasty, Gao Yu, who was well prepared, proposed to let Bi Shiduo serve as the envoy of the Huainan Festival.

At this time, Bi Shiduo's recital had not yet reached the middle of the court.

Gao Biao's proposal was full of surprises, and his prediction was partly accurate, and some ministers of civil and military affairs did feel surprised, but Tian Lingzi and Zheng Zheng and others did not feel strange at all.

Tian Lingzi spoke first, agreeing with Gao Biao's proposal, thinking that it was most appropriate for Bi Shiduo to serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, after all, there were a lot of riots in the south, and Bi Shiduo needed to do his best to preside over and stabilize the situation in the south, Yang Fuguang also agreed, and did not express his opposition, Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang, who have always been opposed to each other in the DPRK and China, rarely agreed on this time.

Zheng Zheng did not express his position, also because he did not receive a letter from Li Rupei, and he will not express his position for the time being.

The statements of Tian Lingzi and others made Gao Yu's heart begin to sink, and a trace of despair began to occupy his brain.

Tian Lingzi will never express his position lightly, either because he knew about this matter in advance, or because he received a letter from Bi Shiduo, what kind of promise did he get, so he would make such a statement, in fact, in the DPRK and China, as long as Tian Lingzi expressed his support, the appointment would generally be approved.

Because of the support of Tian Lingzi, Yang Fuguang and others, Bi Shiduo's proposal to serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu was quickly approved, and at the same time, the imperial court asked Bi Shiduo to preside over the pacification of the southern riots as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

Tian Lingzi even proposed that Bi Shiduo be appointed as the commander of the troops and horses of the Zhudao Xing Battalion, unify and coordinate the army in the south, and quell the riots in the south as soon as possible, but his proposal was opposed by Yang Fuguang and Zheng Jin, after all, Bi Shiduo had just served as the envoy of the Huainan Jiedu, and he would immediately serve as the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Zhudao Xing Battalion, and he could not serve the people, and it was difficult to dispatch the army in the south.

After the holy decree of Bi Shiduo as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu came down, Gao Yu's mood was very low.

In a panic about the future, Gao Biao went to visit Zheng Jin.

At this time, Zheng Zheng had already received a letter from Li Rupei, knowing that Bi Shiduo took the initiative to join Tian Lingzi in order to get support in the court, and Zheng Zheng also knew that the next biggest opponent of the Iron and Blood Army was Bi Shiduo.

Seeing Gao Biao coming to visit, Zheng Biao had too much emotion in his heart, this Gao Biao used to be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was relied on by the imperial court, and received too much support from the imperial court, but how many years have passed, and he has fallen into the current situation.

In fact, Gao Biao and Ping Zhangshi, it happened before, Gao Biao once served as the identity of Ping Zhangshi, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Gao Biao at that time, the scenery was infinite, high-spirited, and everything seemed to be out of the question, but unfortunately after the general Zhang Lu was killed by Huang Chao, Gao Biao had a huge change, from a dragon to a worm.

After Zheng Ji took Gao Biao into the study, he watched the housekeeper serve tea to Gao Biao, but did not take the initiative to speak.

Gao Yu couldn't help it and took the initiative to speak.

"Elder Zheng Ge, Bi Shiduo is already an envoy of Huainan Festival, responsible for quelling the riots in the south, a certain is still a little worried, Bi Shiduo used to be a subordinate of a certain person, and his combat effectiveness is good, but he is a little impatient to do things, not to mention that Huangchao is still entrenched in Huainan Road, and the challenge faced by Bi Shiduo is very ......"

Zheng Biao's face has no expression, Gao Biao is too busy to take care of himself, still thinking about these things, Bi Shiduo has made it clear that he has taken refuge in Tian Lingzi, so what else can he rely on, I am afraid that at this time, Gao Biao has become a pitiful worm in Tian Lingzi's eyes, and he can fiddle with it as much as he wants.

After Gao Yu finished speaking, Zheng Ji sighed slightly.

"Gao Ge Lao, the emperor's holy decree has gone down, Bi Shiduo is now the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, responsible for quelling the southern riots, there is no way to do this, presumably Gao Ge Lao knows."

"I know, after all, this Master Bi was once a subordinate of XX, and XX is also worried."

At this time, Zheng Zheng finally couldn't help it, his impression of Gao Yu was not very bad, there was not much contact between the two, and there was not much conflict of interest.

"Elder Gao Ge, I heard that Master Bi expressed his affection for Lieutenant Tian, but I don't dare to determine whether this matter is accurate."

Gao Biao's face turned pale, his body shook slightly, Zheng Jin's words were a bolt from the blue for him, a huge blow, at this time he understood, why Bi Shiduo's proposal to serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu could get Tian Lingzi's strong support, it turned out that Bi Shiduo had already found a way to contact Tian Lingzi, and he Gao Biao was completely abandoned.

When he left Zheng Jin's mansion, Gao Yu's mind was blank.

Three days later, Gao Biao directly handed over his resignation to the emperor, imploring him to go to the post of Pingzhang Shi and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because he was unwell, and in just three days, Gao Biao's beard and hair were white, and his expression became unusually haggard.

The emperor quickly replied to Gao Biao's recital and agreed to Gao Biao's resignation from the post of Pingzhang Shi and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It was Zheng Zheng who insisted, and Gao Biao was appointed as the prince's soldier and stationed in the eastern capital Luoyang.

Gao Biao left the court gloomily and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to retire, the happiest thing is, of course, Tian Lingzi, the contest between the two, ended in Gao Biao's final fiasco, Tian Lingzi didn't even bother to do anything to Gao Biao, seeing Gao Biao with white hair and withered expression, Tian Lingzi suddenly felt that it was the best choice to let Gao Biao live, which would make Gao Biao accept more suffering.

Of course, Tian Lingzi has his own plans, at the beginning he proposed that Bi Shiduo be appointed as the commander of the Zhudao camp, just to make Li Rupei uncomfortable, although this requirement was not met, but Huainan Jiedu made Bi Shiduo really uncomfortable Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army.
