Chapter 67: Difficult Paths, Divergent Paths (7)
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and a piece of burning red charcoal in the copper basin burst open, and a cloud of sparks rose, dotted with stars, blinked, and disappeared again.
This is the CD Yizhou Thorn Shi Mansion, Qiao Deng's eyes looked at the charcoal burning in the brazier, and his ears listened to the report of Lu Qiang, who had just returned from Langzhong County, Brazil County, and was sitting in the middle of the Jing Pavilion on the side.
"Lord Envoy, my subordinates met Lord Xi in Langzhong, who was the governor of Yizhou and Liangzhou to discuss the affairs of the displaced people, and also saw with his own eyes the imperial court ribbon and scepter he held. However, his subordinates privately inquired about it, and this Lord Xi's scepter and seal ribbon were stolen from Lord Liu, who had originally come to the Governor of Erzhou to discuss the affairs of the displaced people. Do you want to see this, Your Excellency?"
Luo Shang had already received the news and knew that the imperial court had originally sent Liu Shen, a three-grade monk with very old information, to come here. Although he had never worked with Liu Shen before, he also knew that this person was extremely capable and prestigious, and his family was also a wealthy family in Youzhou. For Liu Shen's arrival, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he could accept it.
But this Xi Wei is only from a poor family, and he is only a fourth-grade monk. In terms of identity, he is a three-grade monk, a dignified county marquis, and a dignified assassin of a state, that is, the king of Shanghejian, Huangfu Hao, and Luo Shang have always been treated equally. Now this Xi Wei, a cavalry governor under the palace of General Zhengxi of Hejian Wang, actually took Liu Shen's scepter to supervise him, such an old and senior court minister, which really made him extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
"This King of Hejian has always been cautious, but I don't know why he is so bold this time?" Luo Shang was puzzled in his heart, but his face was expressionless, still calm and calm.
"What did Xi Wei say?" Luo Shang did not directly accuse, but asked lightly.
"Lord Xi, he supports your plan. Lu Qiang said respectfully, "He said that there is an envoy to Lord Jun in the CD, and Yizhou should rest easy." ”
He paused when he said this, looked at Luo Shang's face, and continued: "Lord Envoy, I went over this time, and I saw that Xi Wei's heart was very weak. Those people in Jiangzhou, Basiba County, also privately said that they would impeach Xi Wei to the imperial court, do you see us?"
"Lord Envoy," Ma Long, who was sitting on the other side, said loudly at this time: "This Xi Wei is only a cavalry governor under the tent of the king of Hejian, what qualifications does he have to come to the capital to assassinate the two states. According to the subordinates, I, Yizhou, should immediately take a clear banner to drive away Xi Wei. ”
"It is true that he Xi Wei does not have any qualifications to supervise the affairs of the displaced people in the two states of Liang. Luo Shang frowned slightly, and said slowly: "It's just that we still have to focus on the overall situation." It is necessary to explain this to the court, and as for impeachment, we will not need it for the time being. As long as Xi Wei does not affect the overall situation of encircling and suppressing the displaced people, and can guard the area of the Sword Pavilion in Langzhong in Deyang with the newly appointed Xu Envoy, then I will not care how his scepter came about. ”
"But how can His Royal Highness King Qi give up?" Ma Long continued to say loudly: "Lord Envoy, not only is it justified for us to play the banner of driving away Xi Wei, but His Royal Highness the King of Qi will definitely support your lord even more. ”
"Hmph, Ma Cheng," Qiao Deng couldn't help sneering when he heard this, and said, "This world is the world of the Great Jin, not the King of Qi and the King of Hejian." ”
"You," Malone couldn't help but blush when he heard Jordon's sarcastic words. He also knew that he was about to lose his words for a while, and he was ashamed at this time, and then turned around and walked out of this fine pavilion with an angry face.
Qiao Deng looked contemptuously at the back of the disappeared door, and continued: "Now that the displaced people are compressed in these small areas of Zitong, Guanghan, and Xindu, as long as we stabilize the defense line for three or four months, there will be a crisis in the food of these seventy or eighty thousand displaced people. Now that Xi Wei said that he had replaced Liu Shen, the current situation is really not suitable for any more infighting......
At the same time, in a tent in the camp of the displaced people in Hande County, Zitong County, Li Xiangzheng convened the leaders of the displaced people to discuss matters together. A burly middle-aged man with several pigtails on the back of his head was standing in the middle of the tent with a cold face, and said loudly: "Prince, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. In the past, many families secretly sent us food, but now most of them find various reasons to stop sending food. If we continue like this, within three months, we will run out of food. Today's plan is to concentrate a part of the troops to forcibly capture a few dock forts, kill a group of people, and the rest will naturally send food over. ”
The person who spoke was called Kui Gong, who was the leader of Qiang Di in Yinping County, Qinzhou, and when the six counties were in turmoil, he also led a hundred families to Liangzhou to beg for food.
Kui Gong's words immediately aroused echoes in the camp.
Li Xiang, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.
Now his situation is extremely serious. Yabo's army occupied Jiameng Pass and Jiange Pass, and fought several times, and the two sides were evenly matched. With Yabo here, the main force of the exile army was pinned down on Hand's side and could not move. And his partial army was blocked in Deyang. In such a situation, many Shudi families who were originally optimistic about him now began to flicker their words again, obviously thinking about other things.
He glanced at Yan Shi who was sitting on the left-hand side, and after the two made eye contact, Li Xiang finally spoke: "I waited for the incident just to protect myself, not to rebel, let alone kill someone." You and I came to Shu from Yongzhou, Qinzhou, although there are all kinds of conflicts with the Shu people, but after all, it is the Shu people who have fed us for nearly a year. I will not forget this kindness, and I hope you will not forget it either. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at the people in the tent, and continued: "The eldest husband is alive, and he should be based on faith. Since the big guy trusts me Li and jointly elects me Li to be the co-leader of everyone, I Li will naturally find a way out for everyone. The expedition of the Ya Blogger Army will not last long. As long as we hold on, victory will be ours. ”
"Woman's kindness!" Kui Gong looked at everyone in the tent and nodded involuntarily, and couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart.
