Chapter 409: Ge Hong's Exploits
Qiao Fang's question made Ge Hong's face blue and white for a while. If someone else asks like this, Ge Hong can still justifiably defend a few words, but now there is an expert sitting opposite, which battle, who has the greatest credit, Qiao Fang is also clear in his heart.
Ge Hong held on to his face: "If the Metropolitan Governor is not convinced, we can start a fight on the spot." ”
Qiao Fang said: "I don't mean that Qiao is better than the general. At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, there was the Li family in the court and the Qiao family in the martial arts, and there were constraints everywhere if they wanted to do something. Therefore, His Majesty can only provoke the Li family and the Qiao family to fight among themselves, so that he can get room to move. His Majesty needs to build up his own power, and he needs someone to be completely on his side. Your Majesty has chosen you, and the other people who are with you will be unlucky, and if there is a good thing, it will be given to you first, and then the others. That's why the Great General got to where he is today. Is that right? ”
Ge Hong glanced at Qiao Fang and said, "That's also because Ge is better than others, so he can be Zheng by His Majesty."
Qiao Fang laughed. The soldiers in the distance only heard faint laughter, and thought that the two were having a good conversation.
Qiao Fang suppressed his smile and said, "General Ge really looks up to himself. It's just you and me here, let's open the window and talk. Your Majesty chose you because you are from a humble background and have no foundation, and you are not very shrewd and capable, so it is easier to control. In this way, you can only rely on Your Majesty with all your heart, and without Your Majesty, you are nothing! However, if the general is useless, it is definitely not right, in Qiao's opinion, the most powerful thing about General Ge is to observe words and look at things and come up with ways to benefit himself. ”
Ge Hong was so angry that his face turned purple: "You, you, you spew blood!" ”
Qiao Fang said: "What? Want proof? I won't mention the far ones. Let's hit Yechengguan. Could it be that it was General Ge's ploy from beginning to end? Who suggested that 10,000 cavalry feint to attack Qishan Pass, and then quickly raid Yecheng Pass while the people of Ji were letting their guard down? Who sent a fine worker to infiltrate Yecheng Pass in advance and release the false news that the defenders had surrendered, making the city defense of Yecheng Pass useless, and General Ge captured Yecheng Pass without even using the ladder to climb the city? ”
Ge Hong did not hesitate: "It's Ge Mourao's idea!" Your Majesty knows! ”
Qiao Fang said: "Oh? Could it be that the old man made a mistake? Wasn't it the general's adjutant general Zhang Gong at the time? He has been with you for so many years, how many ideas he gave you, I'm afraid the general himself can't remember, right? ”
Ge Hong replied contemptuously: "Zhang Gong! How much trouble has he caused with his broken mouth! How many times did Lao Tzu wipe his ass! ”
Qiao Fang said: "That's right! Zhang Gongkou was unabashed, he once laughed at the eldest son of the Li family for being powerless and offending the Li family, and he himself knew that there was no hope for promotion, so he could only honestly be a deputy general beside the general. Isn't it because the general tolerates Zhang Gong so much because he can give the general ideas? ”
If you say too much, you will lose, Ge Hong snorted and didn't say anything more.
Qiao Fang continued: "I don't know if Zhang Gong has planned a way out for General Ge? ”
"The way back? Ge is not afraid of shadows, where to leave any way back? ”
"Qiao can say this, but the general must not. Didn't the general think about how your big mansion in Beijing would be kept after a hundred years of Your Majesty? ”
"Qiao Lao Liu! Lao Tzu is plotting against you! What courtier would dare to say such a thing? ”
"Isn't Qiao, doesn't this problem exist? Or is the general thinking in his heart unspeakable, and he is afraid of being exposed, so he doesn't dare to mention it? ”
"You...... Lao Tzu must tell Your Majesty that you are collaborating with the enemy! "Ge Hong is just Qiao Fang, change the threat.
"The general can go and sue, let Your Majesty reward you, let Your Majesty be inseparable from you, and you will be even more inseparable from Your Majesty. When you really get to that point, you have nothing to rely on, where will the reward come from? What will happen to your mansion without a reward? Sell? What about the people in the big house? Do you sell it too? ”
These words were asked in Ge Hong's heart. He didn't know that Qiao Fang had a point, he did worry about these things. It's just that for the sake of face, I can't admit it-" Governor Qiao should think more about himself. The mud bodhisattva crosses the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. ”
"That's right, Qiao does have difficulties, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to the general here. But Qiao didn't wait, didn't rely on, was not afraid of difficulties, and found a way to solve it himself. I wonder if the general saw it? Even if Qiao is in trouble now, the officers and soldiers of the Weizhou Army still have the same heart as Qiao. But if it is difficult to change to a general, are these soldiers of yours really willing to follow you? ”
"What's the best way for the Grand Duke?" Ge Hong's tone softened a little.
"The general might as well get out of the way. In the future, Qiao will naturally remember the kindness of the Grand Governor. ”
"What! Joe Lao Liu! You actually want Lao Tzu to surrender without a fight! ”
"The general wants to summon Jin Fu, why didn't he obey?"
"You were the one who was behind you?!"
"Whether the general believes it or not, Qiao didn't do it. Jin Fu only sensed the danger. Can the general comment on whether Jin Fu is really in danger? ”
"General, you have already disobeyed the command of the Third Route Army all the way, do you think you and Zhu Li still have the certainty of defeating the Weizhou Army?"
"Then it will also be a battle to determine the winner and loser." Ge Hong has a hard mouth, anyway, he doesn't want money or life in a verbal fight.
"So why bother? In fact, the general just lacked a reason to cooperate with Qiao. Qiao has already thought of this reason, it is the common enemy of the two of us - Sheng Lianli. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Could it be that the general doesn't believe that Sheng Lianli is the murderer of the third prince Sheng Lianzhang?"
"Sheng Lianli is also from the Li family, why did he kill his brother?"
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. What is the Li family looking forward to most now? It is to weaken the power of the prince and replace it. The third prince, Sheng Lianzhang, is the crown prince that the Li family intends to support. Now that the third prince is dead, will the Li family give up fighting for the position of prince? No, they will only find a new prince. If the general is the Li family, do you choose the mediocre Lian An Lianping, or Sheng Lianli, who stands out in the new deal? ”
Ge Hong sneered: "The Metropolitan Governor himself is also, it is your Qiao family and the Li family who are fighting, why should Lao Tzu get involved, isn't it good to be a wall-watcher?" ”
"The general's words are wrong. At such a critical time, if the general is a spectator, he will miss the great opportunity to make meritorious service in vain. If he can take this opportunity to get rid of Sheng Lianli, the Li family will only have Lian An and Lian Ping two straw bales that are not to be feared, and the prince will definitely miss the general. Coupled with the credit of giving way, on the day of the prince's reign in the future, will the general still worry that the mansion will not be saved? ”
The future that Qiao Fang described to Ge Hong is really beautiful, and these two credits don't need to be born and die! 166 Reading Network
