Chapter 3: Hurricanes (2)
"Yes, General Gao, who else is you?"
"General Gao is indeed the most suitable candidate!"
"General Gao......"
Everyone gossiped and echoed Zhao Kuangyin's proposal. ┡E small Δ said*.
Gao Huaide originally planned to help Zheng Ziming, but now he has earned enough face, and he has strengthened his confidence in making a righteous move. looked around, straightened his back suddenly, and then nodded with a laugh, "Okay, Gao will do his best." Don't let some narrow-minded people ruin Brother Zheng's future. ”
"It's hard work!" Chai Rong smiled and bowed his hand to Gao Huaide, and then turned his gaze to Zheng Ziming, "Third brother, don't worry, even if the sky falls, let's take it together." ”
"Yes, with my eldest brother and me, I will never allow others to stab you in the back!" Zhao Kuangyin also blushed and reiterated in a low voice.
"Thank you, thank you two brothers, thank you General Gao, thank you brothers!" Zheng Ziming's bitter and numb heart suddenly swelled with a few wisps of warmth, bowed down, and gently arched his hands around. "If it weren't for you at this moment, Zheng would really be in chaos. ”
"Your own brother doesn't have to say this!" Chai Rong smiled and waved his hand lightly, "We will solve the matter on the court side for you." But on my uncle's side, we have to find a way to bring him back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will drag on for a while. Many of the Khitans' methods will not work, and they will inevitably become angry!"
"It would be nice if I caught Liu Hao during the day!" Tao Sanchun suddenly interjected, his face full of annoyance.
She is simple-minded and more direct in her thinking. Since the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State tied up Zheng Ziming's father as a meat ticket, why couldn't Zheng Ziming retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and arrest Liu Chong's son Liu Hao?
"Isn't it? If I had known this, I should have sent more people to hunt him down during the day!"
"I thought he was a Zhao Kuo, so I let him go. Alas, how could I have thought that this person would have such a use?"
"yes, why didn't we think about this layer sooner?"
......
is the so-called rush to the doctor, everyone can't think of any other way to help Zheng Ziming at the moment, Tao Sanchun's proposal has become the only solution.
Zhao Kuangyin listened to everyone's discussions, and his already ruddy face immediately became almost bloody. "I, I didn't mean to let him go, really not! When I went to chase and kill the enemy cavalry, Liu Hao didn't appear at all. Later, Yang Chonggui led the army to meet him, but there were too few brothers around me at that time, and there were too many people to retreat, so I could only take the initiative to retreat. ”
"The second brother did the right thing at that time, we didn't plan to capture Liu Hao alive!" Zheng Zimingxun took the conversation and took the initiative to excuse Zhao Kuangyin, "He is a person who is ambitious and talented, and narrow-minded. Keeping him on the side of the hypocrite is far more useful than catching him on our side. Besides, Yang Chonggui is also a general of a hundred battles, and anyone who meets him in a hurry cannot be sure of victory!"
"We don't blame General Zhao either!" Hearing Zheng Ziming say this, the few people who regretted not capturing Liu Hao alive before also instantly realized that their words were easy to cause misunderstanding, and hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Zhao Kuangyin with a smile, "We, a few of us are just, just, alas......"
"Okay, my own brother, you don't have to explain so much!" Chai Rong also smiled and said to relieve everyone, "Besides, Liu Hao is just the son of an emperor, how can his importance be compared to that of his uncle? On the Liao side, they don't care about his life or death. ”
"This ......" In an instant, everyone seemed to have been splashed with a scoop of cold water, and the excitement on their faces disappeared suddenly.
The change of horses and generals pays attention to the equal value of both sides. Even the puppet Han king Liu Chong himself is probably a dispensable old dog in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, and Liu Chong's son is, of course, worthless. The value of the stone is very different.
First of all, this person once served as the emperor of the Central Plains, and he may still have appeal in the hearts of the old and the young. Secondly, when this person was in power, he dared to start a war with Da Liao, and although he was defeated, he was also worthy of respect. Third, as the saying goes, the son respects the father in the last twenty years. The monarch and ministers of the Liao State are now dealing with Zheng Ziming, and Zheng Ziming is definitely the most outstanding one in the generation of young generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Brother Chai is very reasonable, however, the concubine thinks that the idea of the Tao family's sister may not be impossible to try!" Just when everyone was feeling depressed, Fu Ying's words sounded softly, like candlelight in the middle of the night, which made everyone's eyes light up.
"Huh?" Chai Rong was stunned, smiled and turned his gaze to Fu Ying. For this beautiful and intelligent woman, the more he came into contact with it, the more admiration he felt in his heart, "Then you might as well tell me, there are no outsiders here anyway." Even if it's wrong, you don't care!"
"Liu Hao must not even be able to compare to one of his uncle's toes!" Fu Ying smiled and bowed slightly at Zheng Ziming first. Immediately, he raised his voice a few points, and continued to smile and added: "But if we arrest Liu Hao, we can tell the Khitan monarchs and ministers that not only will they do the kidnapping and blackmailing, but once someone starts this, don't blame everyone for following suit." ”
"Shhh
The kidnapping of relatives to blackmail the other party into compliment, this kind of indiscriminate deed, usually only the heroes of the rivers and lakes like to do it. There is hardly any precedent for the two countries to exchange arms. Once someone has adopted it, this move undoubtedly means that they have lost the confidence to defeat their opponents from the battlefield. Secondly, the other party can also use the same means to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.
From the emperor to the civil and military officials, who has no parents, wives and children, three relatives and six deaths? Who can protect all family members impenetrable at all times? Today you arrest my father, tomorrow I will tie up your son, and so on, when will it be an end?
"In addition, although Liu Ho is worthless, the Khitans are reluctant to give up Liu Chong's hound for the time being!" Fu Ying smiled softly at everyone, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky, "This matter is because of them, if we arrest Liu Ho and ask for a change of general, but the Khitans choose to refuse, it will definitely chill the puppet Han King Liu Chong." Other small countries that have contact with the Khitan, such as the Southern Tang Dynasty and Western Shu, I am afraid they will also consider whether the Khitans can really rely on it!"
As soon as the words fell, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin immediately stroked their palms at the same time. "Good, that's good!"
"Sister-in-law's words are polite, let's find a way to catch Liu Hao back immediately!"
"Early tomorrow morning, let's go to Yang Chonggui for a decisive battle. ”
"The puppet Han Kingdom has just suffered a big defeat and is demoralized. Even if Yang Chonggui is born with three heads and six arms, he will not be able to return to the sky!"
"Chase, chase down to Taihang Mountain, and snatch Dingzhou, Yizhou and Zhenzhou too!"
"Chase, I don't believe ......"
Everyone rubbed their fists and grinded their hands, and everyone was eager to try.
Fu Ying's analysis is very reasonable, the Khitans can not care about Liu Hao's life or death, but they can't care about the demonstration effect brought by this matter. If they refuse to exchange Shi Zhonggui for Liu Hao, it means that the other lackeys will be in danger in the future, and they will not be saved. In this way, its appeal and influence will inevitably be greatly damaged, and with Yelu Ruan's cunning, it should be clear which is more important!
For the time being, they can't come up with a better idea, so Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming can only plan according to the idea of changing generals. After clarifying the goal, the big guys worked together, and soon, they came up with a complete plan. Then, each of them dispersed to select their subordinates, reorganized their teams, and prepared to put the plan into action the next day.
As Zheng Ziming's most trusted military advisor, Pan Mei did not say a word throughout the deliberations. When he went out, he returned to his own camp, and saw that there were no outsiders around, but he secretly pulled Zheng Ziming and said in a low voice: "That woman surnamed Fu, her means are so good, I'm afraid she has already obtained the true inheritance of the old wolf Fu Yanqing!"
"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be worthy of the big brother of the Chai family!" Zheng Ziming nodded slightly, and the smile on his face looked so tired.
"I'm not praising her!" Pan Mei suddenly became a little angry, pulled Zheng Ziming's sleeve again, and raised her voice a little more emphasized, "I mean, she keeps her hands behind everywhere she says and acts." She asked Gao Huaide to go back to report the victory, on the one hand, to use the relationship between the Gao family and the emperor to prevent someone from intercepting Chai Rong's letter. On the other hand, it is also to separate Gao Huaide so that you brothers can act according to your own ideas!"
"I know that now Wang Jun has just been promoted to privy envoy, and he is in the limelight. Except for Gao Huaide, when others go back, they may not have the opportunity to see Your Majesty!" Zheng Ziming smiled again and nodded nonchalantly.
"He left Chai Rong here, in fact, to prove to the court that you have no chance to obey Ling Zun's orders at all, and it is impossible to lead the army to surrender to the Khitan!" Pan Mei was so angry that she trembled again, gritted her teeth and continued to remind.
"I know, I didn't plan to listen!" Zheng Ziming nodded, still tepid.
"This is only one aspect, on the other hand, she is probably also guarding against your really impulse and went to vote for the Khitans!" Pan Mei stomped her feet hard, really wishing to give Zheng Ziming a direct blow to his head to make the latter regain his senses.
"As it should be. Zheng Ziming smiled, as if he knew everything. "It's the same with me, after all, once something happens here, the Great Zhou will open the door, and the north of the Yellow River, including the Yedu that His Majesty started, I'm afraid it will have to change hands. What's more, she is her, and Brother Chai is Brother Chai!"
"You, you really want to open it!" Pan Mei didn't expect Zheng Ziming to see Fu Ying's little abacus clearly, but she let it go, and her face turned blue with anger. He stomped his feet again and said loudly: "You're not afraid, when will she really sell you as a fool?" I bet with you, Liu Hao is not so easy to catch, and even if he is caught, the Khitans would rather chill all the lackeys than agree to change generals!"
"If I were a Khitan, I wouldn't!" Zheng Ziming was like a fool, and did not refute Pan Mei's point of view.
"Then, then you still let them toss around?" Pan Mei really couldn't stand Zheng Ziming's Mu Ran, and stepped on his toes fiercely, and asked loudly. "What the hell are you going to do? Can you just say it, and save me from worrying about you!"
At this time, Zheng Ziming finally had a fierce reaction. He jumped back, looked around, and responded in a very low voice, "My plan is that you replace me and go with Brother Chai and them to arrest Liu Ho and bluff." And myself, I personally went to Liaodong to rescue my father!"
"Boom—" There was a faint sound of muffled thunder rolling across the sky, and it was the height of summer, and a storm was brewing.
Pan Mei stumbled as if she had been struck by lightning. He took several steps back in succession before he could barely regain his footing, "You, what did you say? You, you went to Liaodong in person? How did you go? Thousands of miles back and forth, how could you bring people back safely!"
"Go up from the water!" Zheng Ziming's answer was accompanied by thunder, which shook Pan Mei's body again.
"Click!" a bolt of lightning illuminated his white face. looked at Zheng Ziming repeatedly, as if he saw this person on the first day, his eyes were full of strangeness, "You, you, you have been preparing for this day for a long time." You, you, you, you didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a sailor......"
"Click!" Another lightning bolt fell, and the thunder was mixed with the torrential rain, engulfing his words and Zheng Ziming's answer in endless darkness.
