"General Wei, how is my Xingyang Zheng family treating generals?" In the Xingyang Governor's Mansion, Wei Lu and Zheng Shanguo sat next to each other, Zheng Shanguo's hair was gray, but his face was ruddy, and his eyes were shining, as if he could see through what Wei Lu was thinking.

Although it was in Wei Lu's mansion, Wei Lu didn't have any sense of security, although he was surrounded by his own guards, but the old man in front of him was not simple, and his eyes showed a cold murderous intent. He still admires this old thing very much, so he comes to him openly, and he is not afraid that he will kill the other party in anger. Wei Lu knew that he didn't have any way, the Zheng family of Xingyang was the overlord of the entire Xingyang, and he was the emperor of the soil. Wei Lu knew that he wanted to kill the other party, but the other party didn't take himself to heart at all, and in the hall, it seemed like he was in the mansion of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"Since my Zheng army entered Xingyang, with the help of the Zheng family, we have today. The last general has to thank the patriarch here. Wei Luqiang laughed, but there was a dark anger in his heart, the Zheng family helped him a lot, but in the same way, what the Zheng family did in Xingyang also caused Xingyang to be dissatisfied, and there were many complaints in the army about Zheng's domineering and domineering. It's just that the strength of the Zheng clan in Xingyang is strong, which makes Wei Lu feel very awkward. But I also have to admit that Zheng's army still needs Zheng's support in Xingyang.

"What is the general's impression of Zheng Guo?" Zheng Shanguo's eyes flickered, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Wei Lu and said: "Now that Zheng Guo's rivers are declining, even Luoyang City is besieged, I heard that there is a shortage of food in the city, and now they have begun to eat people, general, you have to make plans early!" ”

"Luoyang City is high and deep, and there is a lot of grain and grass in it, how can there be a lack of grain and grass? I'm afraid the patriarch is laughing! Wei Lu looked at Zheng Shanguo with some dissatisfaction and said: "I, Wei Lu, have received the emperor's holy grace, and I dare not forget it, Luoyang will be saved sooner or later." ”

"Really? But why did the old man hear that the general had gathered Guo Qing, Wang Yaohan and others to gather in the governor's mansion not long ago! It won't be that you want to return to Shun Guanzhong! Zheng Shanguo looked at Wei Lu and sneered: "My Kanto family is incompatible with Li Xin. I hope the general won't disappoint our Kanto family! ”

"Hmph, Mr. Zheng, I heard that the most important thing for the Kanto family is bloodline, and the favorite is the Miao descendants of the Han family. Then Li Shimin is of Xianbei blood, how could your Zheng family marry Li Shimin, this general also heard that Li Shimin colluded with the Turks in Hebei and wreaked havoc in Hebei, and then look at what Hebei has become now? Thousands of miles of people, why does the old gentleman support Li Shimin? Wei Lu said with a somewhat unkind expression.

"Hmph, a general is a military general. I don't know how the world has changed, whether it is Xianbei or Han people, as long as you live in the Central Plains, you are all Central Plains people! Li Xin is something, but he is just a side doorman. How can it be compared with the Li family in Longxi? Don't look at him now, but this world is still the world of the family in the end, and Li Xin will be defeated by the Li family in Longxi sooner or later. ”

"I didn't expect the old gentleman to be so sure?" Wei Lu said disdainfully: "It's a pity, I, Wei Lu, am Zheng Guo's general." It's not Li Shimin's general, the old gentleman came to persuade him to surrender, I'm afraid it's still a little worse, if you can get the emperor's holy decree. Let General Ben surrender, and General Ben will surrender. If not, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Xin. I won't let General Ben surrender, and if Li Xin comes, I will also raise troops to resist. Li Shimin is here, and so am I. ”

Zheng Shanguo's face was gloomy after hearing this, he originally thought that Wei Lu would give up to Li Shimin for the sake of the Zheng family's face, but he didn't expect Wei Lu to be so uninteresting, after his own persuasion for a while, he actually wanted to stick to his loyalty, and he was still so loyal to Wang Shichong, didn't he know that the building was going to collapse, and this broken ship would collapse at any time? At the very least, one should be chosen between Li Shimin or Li Xin, but I didn't expect this guy to choose a dead person. It made him angry and angry.

"So, does General Wei take our Xingyang Zheng family in his eyes?" Zheng Shanguo's face suddenly looked bad, he thought that if he came in person, Wei Lu would bow down and never dare to disobey, but what he didn't expect was that Wei Lu actually rejected him, which made him very angry in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.

"Don't dare, Wei Lu is loyal to the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven makes a holy decree, I will defect to whoever I want. The Zheng family in Xingyang is powerful, why don't you go to Luoyang and ask for the edict of the Son of Heaven, and I, Wei Lu, will naturally obey the holy decree. Wei Lu looked at Zheng Shanguo with a smile and said, "I believe that the soldiers will think the same way." Of course, if the Zheng family can help me convince the brothers below, I will also agree. ”

"Hmph, don't forget, Li Xin's army is about to kill. With 20,000 men and horses in the city, the general could resist Li Xin's attack? Zheng Shanguo said dissatisfiedly: "I'm afraid that Xingyang will also be owned by Li Xin at that time, is the general so willing?" If the general joins Li Zhao, the old man protects the marquis of the general, what does the general think? ”

"Li Zhao? I'm not a member of the Gaomen family, and I'm not the queen of the Li family, the marquis? That's impossible. Wei Lu said indifferently: "I, Wei Lu, am just a soldier, who pays attention to protecting the family and defending the country, if the old gentleman wants to persuade me to surrender, unless he defeats General Ben on the battlefield, otherwise, don't say it." As he spoke, he picked up the tea in front of him, this is the rhythm of serving tea to the guests!

"Hmph, I hope the general doesn't regret it." Zheng Shanguo glanced at Wei Lu with a cold snort, and said, "General, don't forget, this Xingyang is still the Xingyang of the Zheng family, general, you have to be careful about the road in the future." ”

"Hmph, I also want to tell the boss that although Li Shimin is close to him, he doesn't dare to attack, because he can't beat Li Xin. The three balance each other, if you provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will take refuge in Li Xin and dedicate Xingyang to him, I want to see if Li Shimin has the courage to deal with me Xingyang? Wei Lu said proudly.

"What do you want?" Zheng Shanguo turned around, looked at Wei Lu and said. After Wei Lu said this, he really didn't dare to offend Wei Lu, once Wei Lu took refuge in Li Xin, the forces around Xingyang would change, as the Zheng family who supported Li Shimin, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen. In the face of the attack of Li Xin and Wei Lu, Li Shimin definitely couldn't support it for long, and in the end he could only retreat to Hebei. All advantages will be lost. This is not what Zheng Shanguo sees.

"When this general resists Li Xin, don't make trouble in the back of your Xingyang Zheng family, otherwise, I will open the city gate and let Li Xin enter the city, your Zheng family and Li Xin have a bad relationship, hehe, will the Zheng family of hundreds of years be wiped out by Li Xin in one go?" Wei Lu snorted coldly and looked at Zheng Shanguo and said. There was a hint of smugness in the depths of his eyes. He just wants to tell the Zheng family that in the troubled times, the family is nothing at all, and having military power in his hands is the most important thing.

"I hope the general doesn't regret it." Zheng Shanguo's face was gloomy, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and walked out of the governor's mansion. He was angry and angry, thinking about how majestic his Zheng family was in Xingyang, but today he lost face in front of a general, which made him unbearable.

When they arrived at Zheng's mansion, Zheng Yan took it in and said, "Father, has Wei Lu agreed to our conditions?" Ready to submit to the King of Qin? ”

"Hmph, I see that he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, and he really thinks that Wang Shichong can turn it up, and he is actually loyal to Wang Shichong." Zheng Shanguo snorted coldly and said: "What is Wang Shichong, it is impossible for Wei Lu not to know, I suspect that he does not want to be loyal to Wang Shichong, but thinks about the opportunity to surrender to Li Xin." That's what worries me the most. ”

"Yes, Zhang Zhenzhou's prestige in the army is relatively high, and now that even Zhang Zhenzhou has surrendered, Wei Lu and these guys may not surrender!" Zheng Yan hugged Zheng Shanguo and said.

"So the old man is ready to let the King of Qin attack Xingyang and seize the important town of Xingyang." Zheng Shanguo said: "The only thing that feels a little bad now is the situation in Guanzhou and Bianzhou, although our Zheng family has some prestige in Xingyang, but it is different in Guanzhou and Bianzhou, Guo Qing may not necessarily sell the face of our Zheng family, especially when they decide to surrender to Li Xin." ”

Li Xin suddenly attacked Wang Shichong at this time, not only caught Wang Shichong off guard in terms of time, but also King Qin did not expect it. That's why the current situation is caused, although King Qin's soldiers and horses are elite soldiers, they are not necessarily Li Xin's opponents! Zheng Yan said with some worry: "The king of Qin is now aiming at Hedong, hoping that the Turks can win in Hedong, so that Li Zhao can open up the situation, but the child is worried that it will be difficult for him to open the situation in Hedong!" ”

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, wasn't that what Li Xin did back then? Since King Qin is unreliable, we will choose other methods, in Xingyang, there is not only one Wei Lu, we can find other people. Zheng Shanguo said without thinking: "Xingyang must not fall into the hands of Li Xin, otherwise, we will become the second Dugu family, the money in the family is taken by Li Yuan, and the land is owned by Li Xin." Whether it is Li Yuan or Li Xin, they are all emperors, and the emperor and the family are interdependent, but they are mutually restricted. While suppressing the clans, they increased their own power. Li Xin did it on the surface, Li Yuan sat in secret, he was even more hateful than Li Xin. We also need to guard against him. ”

"Yes, father, I see." Zheng Yan nodded, and sighed in his heart for a while, when he married his daughter to Li Shimin, he was against it, because Li Shimin was the second, and it would not be his turn to inherit Zhao Jiangshan in the future, and now there are more and more contradictions between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and the battle between Li Zhao and the dynasty is becoming more and more serious, Zheng Yan regrets it even more.
