Chapter 64: Qu Shuai
"His grandmother's Guan Hai and Guan Cheng are really too deceitful - what are Xu He and Sima Gu? can also be on an equal footing with me, and still want to and pee on my head, Guan Hai and Guan Cheng are really blind to one eye - I don't have a share of good things, why should I share my territory and my incense people with them, not just watching me have more and more people, just coveting me-alas-" It was a middle-aged man with a snow-white chin and no beard who spoke, and he drank sullen wine with an angry face.
"Tang Shuai, you are the most trusted disciple of the Great Sage and Good Master, and you are also the contact person of our Taiping Sect, according to the actual identity, it is equivalent to the mouth of the Great Sage and Good Master, and you should be respected wherever you go, but this Guan Hai, Guan Cheng, Xu He, and Sima Ju are obviously squeezing out Tang Shuai in this Qingzhou realm! Just because you are a person sent by a great sage and a good teacher. Tang Shuai, let's take one! ”
The person known as Tang Shuai is named Tang Zhou, he is currently the highest person in charge of the Taiping Sect in Qingzhou, three months ago Zhang Jiao sent thirty-six messengers to inspect the development of the Taiping Sect in various places, Tang Zhou was sent to Qingzhou to inspect Qingzhou, Qingzhou's Qu Shuai is mainly responsible for Guan Hai and Guan Cheng, and there are two small Qu Shuai Xu He and Sima Ju under his command, they control Donglai, Jinan, Taishan three large counties and some small counties and villages, basically the development of Qingzhou is the best place for the Taiping Sect. Tang Zhou was sent to Qingzhou not only to supervise here, but also to give a secret mission, to contact the internal Ying in Luoyang City and to deal with the military and political power of Qingzhou, and it was necessary to get the grain, grass and money used for the uprising before launching the uprising, and if allowed, some rich businessmen could be used, but these must be done in secret, and the common people could not see the cruel side of the Taiping Sect.
Zhang Jiao has been operating the Taiping Sect for more than ten years, and the number of members in the Taiping Sect is as high as 300,000 or 400,000. Each generous set up a commander to lead 10,000 horses; He also set up a small party to command four or five thousand men. These Qu Shuai are unified under the command of Zhang Jiao, because Zhang Jiao is afraid that these Qu Shuai will have the idea of occupying the mountain as the king for a long time, he will set up 36 temporary patrol envoys to randomly inspect the place, and each time he goes out to inspect for about half a year, during this period of time, the Qu Shuai of each side must accept the command of the patrol envoy, cooperate with the patrol to complete the tasks assigned above, and by the way, investigate the ability of the Qu Shuai, and can report to revoke the right of the Qu Shuai, which is equivalent to the Jinyi Guard in the Taiping Sect.
"Li Dan, you followed me here, I originally planned to take the opportunity to vacate a position for you, but looking at the situation, they don't easily separate their own people, isn't this a naked slap in the face? Brother, is there any way to get the four of them into line? This time the opportunity to come out as a patrol envoy is not easy, if we don't take advantage of the fire to rob some people to gain a foothold, if the great sage and good teacher once the incident, we will be useless, and finally become an insignificant person, in that case, you and I will never be able to stand out. "The one who accompanied Tang Zhou was called Li Dan, a fellow villager of his, who had been living on the periphery of the Taiping Sect after joining the Taiping Sect with him, and Tang Zhou was soon appreciated by Zhang Jiao because of his flexible head and good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder. After taking over this trip to Qingzhou, he wanted his fellow villager Li Dan to become the commander of one party to help him stabilize his position in the Taiping Sect.
But he Tang Zhou was too small to take care of Hai and take care of it, and they had been in Qingzhou for several years as the commanders of Qingzhou, and many of the big and small commanders under them were looking at them as horses. Guan Hai belongs to a second-rate military general, and has read books for several years, and belongs to an all-round handsome talent; Guan Cheng is a rude general, he used to be a mountain bandit, and later he was influenced by Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Sect to join the Taiping Sect, because he was extremely brave with a mace, he was second only to Guan Hai in the Qingzhou Taiping Sect, as for this Xu He and Sima Ju are the little handsomes under Guan Hai and Guan Cheng.
Tang Zhou came without saying a word, and he wanted to add a Qu Shuai, Guan Hai and Guan Chengyi together knew that Tang Zhou, this kid, was not good, and wanted to divide people from them. It's fun to think carefully once it's seen through, and it's not impossible for Guan Hai and Guan Cheng to add Qu Shuai, but they need to add two more people to the assessment. In the case of one to two, Li Dan was defeated, and Xu He and Sima both fought to a draw, so there was no way to add one Qu Shuai in Tang Zhou's reluctance, and it became two Qu Shuai, and in the end, the initiator of this proposal did not catch anything. Guan Hai and Guan Cheng's subordinates combined with about 40,000 men and horses were divided into 10,000 men and horses, and in an instant, Xu He and Sima Ju became the commanders of Daqu who were in charge of one side. In fact, the number of people in charge of Hai and Guan Cheng has been nominally reduced, but it has not decreased much if they still change the soup without changing the medicine. Tang Zhou, a dumb man, could only be decided, so he could only hide in the tavern with Li Dan to drink and get drunk.
"In this case, you might as well give them an order, let Liu Lei, the county candidate of Jinan County, join us within a time limit, if you can't do it, then take advantage of the situation to get rid of Guan Hai and Guan Cheng, and when the group of dragons is leaderless, Xu He and Sima Ju are not tied up! Hey...... At that time, Qingzhou will be our brother's world! How can I do this? Li Dan had a lewd and cruel smile on his face, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Li Dan, you have a brilliant idea, a clever plan to drive away the wolf. What if Guan Hai and Guan Cheng succeed? "Tang Zhou is not a fool, once Guan Hai and Guan Cheng successfully complete the task, then the two of them are not only without fault but also meritorious. If the strategy is successful, he is a little worried about handing over about 40,000 men and horses to Li Dan, and he is still using Li Dan at the moment. Tang Zhou pretended that he couldn't see through the stakes and waited for Li Dan's answer.
"If it succeeds, it is natural to put on a celebration banquet for the two of them, all the grateful, small marshal, and the leader will come to participate, and then bury the knife and axe hand in the side room, and suddenly make a move when the wine is strong, and everyone will rush up to divide their corpses, as long as you announce the evidence of their refuge in the court at that time, and then shout at the heights, the other Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai are not obedient to your command. What do you think? Regardless of whether the two of them succeed or not, they will inevitably die, and only by killing the two of them can the men and horses of Taishan County, Jinan County, and Donglai County completely obey our command. ”
After listening to him, Tang Zhou broke out in a cold sweat, this fellow villager Li Dan looked at the harmless appearance of humans and animals, how could his scheming be so vicious! In fact, this strategy can be seen through by anyone with a little brain, but after all, there are still a few people who are familiar with the art of war strategy, and it can be regarded as a way to get the best of both worlds.
In any case, Tang Zhou was already full of wariness of Li Dan, but there was no other good way at the moment, and he had to take risks if he wanted to take the position.
"Okay—that's it! Li Dan, go and arrange it! Tomorrow we will go to Taishan County and meet them for a while! ”
Li Dan got up and went out happily, Tang Zhou, who was still drunk and hazy just now, glanced in the direction Li Dan went out, got up and walked to the back of the hotel.
