Chapter 79: Old Kindness
According to the previous plan, Zhao Di originally wanted to use the channels of Shang Xuan to sell the stolen goods, but now Zhao Di has changed his mind and does not plan to let Shang Xuan handle it anymore, because the uncertainty of Shang Xuan is too great.
Zhao Di didn't plan to target the Taixing Domain so early, because the Taixing Domain was originally planned by Zhao Di to be handed over to Shang Xuan and let Shang Xuan use it to develop and expand himself, but now Zhao Di doesn't plan to do this, even if he wants to use the resources of Taixing Domain to support the development of Shang, then he must control the Taixing Domain in his own hands, because Shang Xuan is too arrogant, not a person who can listen to the advice of others, this kind of person is not so easy to control.
This time, Zhao Di didn't know if the purpose of his trip could be achieved, but after experiencing the threat of Shang Xun this time, Zhao Di felt the need to take a trip.
Although the timing was not the best, many things were man-made, and Zhao Di finally decided to go.
The goal of Zhao Di's trip is Taixing assassin Shi Lang, Shi Lang is still a little related to Zhao Di, because Shi Lang is a talent discovered and promoted by Zhao Di's father Zhao Huan. At that time, Shi Lang was just a poor soldier, because Shi Lang himself had studied private school for a few years, and he was very hardworking, every time he was in the army for a little time to carefully read the scriptures and history, Zhao He once patrolled the camp and found out about this, not only did not punish him, but also praised him, and then the generals in the army looked at him differently, and slowly Shi Lang gradually got out of the army with his own ability.
Shi Lang is grateful for Zhao He's kindness, sometimes he will send some small gifts to the palace on New Year's Day, and Zhao Huan is a person who directly and mercilessly reprimands and returns most of the big gifts of others, but some small gifts will be accepted happily, this back and forth has a better impression of Shi Lang, although Shi Lang never comes to the palace, but everyone knows that Shi Lang has the support of Zhao Huan, the prince, so Shi Lang's promotion in the army has become smoother and smoother.
Zhao He does not form a party for personal gain, otherwise he will not fall into this step, the only time Zhao Di met Shi Lang was in the army, he was very young at that time, but Zhao He is still very careful about the cultivation of 'Zhao Di', so sometimes when he goes to the army to inspect, he will also bring a little 'Zhao Di', so 'Zhao Di' I still have a little impression of Shi Lang, in his memory, once Zhao He took him to patrol the camp and found that Shi Lang's team was exceptionally neat, and then Zhao Huan summoned Shi Lang alone, and asked him about the method of governing the army, at that time Shi Lang had a set of systematic and perfect views on governing the army, originally Zhao He also wanted to use Shi Lang's set of methods to govern the army to rectify a military affairs, but he didn't expect that in less than two or three years, the first emperor's health deteriorated, and then Zhao He's plan to organize the army has been stranded, until he was framed by Zhao Di and his gang and imprisoned until he died and failed to get this opportunity。
Fortunately, otherwise Shi Lang would have been transferred by Zhao Huan to listen to him, it is precisely because of this that Shi Lang escaped a catastrophe and was not cleaned by Zhao Di, and with his own ability, he developed better in the army after Zhao Di took the position, and even directly broke through the Shinto realm and became one of the few generals in the Great Song Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhao Di wants to give it a try to see if it is possible for him to recruit this powerful general of the Great Song Dynasty.
Originally, if this matter was not in a hurry, Zhao Di could calmly lay out, just like Zhao Di and Shang Xun said before, he had a way to help him seize the Taixing Domain, at that time, Zhao Di did not really include Shi Lang in his goal, after all, some kindness back then was not a bargaining chip in Zhao Di's opinion, you want to use this long-expired kindness to blackmail others, this kind of stupid thing Zhao Di does not think that there will be a possibility of success.
It's a pity that Shang Di was too rigid and self-serving, and even threatened Zhao Di with force, which made Zhao Di see the other side of Shang Di, this person is not an ally worth cultivating, so Zhao Di plans to personally control the Taixing Domain.
If Zhao Di didn't target Shi Lang before, it was because Zhao Di felt that it would take more time to plan to subdue Shi Lang, and he didn't pay much attention to Shi Lang, even if he was a rare general. However, now Zhao Di must subdue Shi Lang, because only by subduing Shi Lang can he completely control the Taixing Domain in the shortest possible time, which is the fastest shortcut to achieve the goal.
But if he wanted to subdue Shi Lang, Zhao Di didn't have much confidence in his heart, so on the way back, Zhao Di sent a summons to Shi Qian, so that he could get all the information about Shi Lang in the shortest possible time, and he needed to make a comprehensive assessment of Shi Lang, so that he could start with the target in a planned way.
Although the grasp is not big, but what should be done must go all out, this can be regarded as another test that Zhao Di gave them Shiqian, the last time they did a good job of collecting intelligence on the Su Xingsu family, but that was because of the cooperation of the forces of Shang, this time they were fighting alone, this time it was time to really test Shiqian's success.
But fortunately, the target is people who have been famous for many years, and this kind of intelligence gathering is far easier than targeting some small people, so this test is not a difficult time to move them.
In Zhao Di's ideal, Shi Qian's underground army is to be able to control the emperors of the major dynasties to the people of Limin, and they can designate a target at will, they can quickly take out all the information of this person, only with such a pervasive team, Zhao Di will have the confidence to be able to calmly lay out the world in the future, this is the ultimate secret weapon in Zhao Di's eyes, what other forces and territories Zhao Di actually didn't pay much attention to, as long as he has such a secret weapon in his hand, he wants to establish his own power to dominate the world, in Zhao Di's view, it is just a matter of rebellion。
......
On this side, Zhao Di began to attack Shi Lang, and on the other hand, Shi Lang also received a tip, and heard that the batch of Taixing stones delivered to the big merchants on his side seemed to have gone wrong, and faintly heard the rumors, the Longquan Army military camp under Shang Xuan was attacked, and the Taixing stone and the building ship were robbed by unknown bandits.
Shi Lang, as the assassin of the Great Song Dynasty, and the supreme commander of the Taixing Star Domain Army, it is impossible not to install secret agents in the Minxing Star Domain, after all, it is the adjacent frontier of the two countries, if you don't do this, it can only be said that Shi Lang, the general, is derelict in his duties, so Shang Lang led the army to pursue the robbers, and Shi Lang naturally received the rumors, which made Shi Lang a little restless.
You must know that the Taixing Stone transaction in the Taixing Domain is an important income of the Great Song Kingdom, and if something goes wrong, he may also be the assassin of the end, so he can't afford not to pay attention to this matter.
However, Shang Xun's side did not summon the news, and he could not act rashly, so he could only let his secret agents pay close attention to this matter, and then he could only wait for the result in anxiety.
To tell the truth, this kind of camp robbery seems a bit incredible to Shi Lang, you must know that Dashang is a strong country, he really can't figure out what kind of robbers dare to be so bold, and even directly enter the barracks to rob, isn't he afraid that Dashang's army will attack and sweep away their nest?
