Chapter Ninety-Eight: Plans for Each Other
After leaving the Chu Palace, the anger in Zuo Liangyu's heart still did not weaken in the slightest.
Although his words were a little exaggerated, there were no loopholes, and if he hadn't been unruly to rob the people, the soldiers would have starved a long time ago.
And his attitude is very sincere, there is no half-falsehood at all, even if he really asks for the king of Chu one day, he is just this attitude.
But King Chu's performance, although he had expected it a long time ago, still made him very chilled.
The soldiers fought bloodily, I don't know how many soldiers have died on the battlefield over the years, at this time, for the soldiers to come to the king of Chu to borrow money, he actually has this attitude.
is so selfish, short-sighted and stingy, and is also worthy of being the king of Chu?
After Zuo Liangyu walked out of the distance, he couldn't help but glance back at the Chu Palace, and then thought with hatred in his heart, no wonder he wants to destroy you, you deserve it!
In addition to Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shixiu and Hao Xiaozhong didn't have much hope for the King of Chu in the first place, so they didn't have much feeling at this time.
After returning to the place where they were stationed, Ma Shixiu said directly: "General, when will we do it?" ”
"It's a matter of no sooner rather than later."
Zuo Liangyu completely abandoned his illusions about the King of Chu, and said with a ruthless face: "It's inevitable that there will be a lot of dreams at night, you go and arrange people now, and do it tonight!" ”
"The Chu Palace's Mansion will be handed over to you, so be sure to solve it quickly."
"As for the defenders of Wuchang Mansion, I will bring Hao Xiaozhong to help you block it."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Liangyu said with a serious face: "But you remember, you only have one night, and this matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"General rest assured, the Chu Palace's mansion will be broken tonight!"
Ma Shixiu is now full of the wealth of the Chu Palace, and after hearing Zuo Liangyu's advice, he directly issued a military order, "If there is a little difference, the last general will come to see you!" ”
"Okay."
Zuo Liangyu nodded and said, "You go and arrange it, I'll go to the Governor's Mansion now." ”
After saying this, seeing that Ma Shixiu was about to turn around and leave, Zuo Liangyu stopped him again, "Wait." ”
After Zuo Liangyu hesitated for a moment, he finally whispered: "The King of Chu can be killed, but it is best not to kill the bloodline of the King of Chu's Mansion." ”
After all, the palace of the king of Chu is the blood of the royal family, and the reason why the emperor wants to do it to them is nothing more than because they occupy the wealth and refuse to pay at this time of crisis.
But these people can be dealt with by the emperor, it does not mean that they can directly kill all the people in the line of the king of Chu, if that is the case, Zuo Liangyu is worried that he will be hated by the emperor afterwards.
When Ma Shixiu heard Zuo Liangyu's words, he hesitated for a moment, and he also understood Zuo Liangyu's scruples.
But he wasn't sure what his soldiers would do after they were released, so he didn't dare to pack a ticket with Zuo Liangyu, but just said, "General, try your best." ”
After saying this, Ma Shixiu left directly and arranged for someone to find a way to infiltrate the Chu Palace.
And Zuo Liangyu was not idle, and went directly to the Governor's Palace, but after reporting to the Governor's Palace, what he saw was not the Governor, but another acquaintance.
"Ding Xiu?"
Looking at Ding Xiu and Pei Lun in the Governor's Palace, although Zuo Liangyu was a little surprised, he was not too surprised.
For this person who once put a knife on his neck, Zuo Liangyu can be said to be impressed.
Originally, Ding Xiu said that he would wait for him in Wuchang Mansion, but he didn't see anyone, originally he thought it was a little strange, but now it seems that Ding Xiu has already calculated that he will come to the Governor's Mansion, so he is waiting for himself here in advance.
He looked at Ding Xiu and the others and said, "No wonder my army came in so smoothly, it seems that the person in charge of Wuchang Mansion now should be you, right?" ”
"It's not a matter of deciding."
When Pei Lun was there, Ding Xiu generally didn't speak, and these things were basically arranged by Pei Lun, so he took over with a smile and said: "After all, our Jinyiwei is doing things for Your Majesty, and with Your Majesty's holy purpose, it is somewhat convenient to do things, which is normal." ”
After Pei Lun brought the matter lightly, he asked: "I heard that General Zuo went to the Chu King's Mansion to borrow money, I don't know how the King of Chu replied?" ”
"Humph......"
Zuo Liangyu, who originally had a bad face after seeing Ding Xiu, heard Pei Lun's words, and his face sank completely.
went to the palace of the king of Chu, but he didn't borrow the salary, and he was almost tricked by the king of Chu, and he was not in a good mood, but at this moment, Pei Lun didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, he almost broke out.
"What are you doing?"
Zuo Liangyu barely suppressed the anger in his heart, he looked at Pei Lun's nasty smiling face, and suddenly lost his mood at all, so he simply said straight to the point: "I have already arranged it, Ma Shixiu will launch an offensive tonight." ”
"At that point, I hope you can control the defenders in the city and don't let them interfere."
Although Jin Yiwei had no right to interfere with the local garrison, Zuo Liangyu believed that since these two people appeared in the Governor's Palace, they must have arranged everything, so he directly put forward his own request.
"Don't let the defenders interfere?"
Pei Lun frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said, "General Zuo, is this planning to clean up the portal by himself?" ”
"That's right."
Zuo Liangyu said simply: "My people, I'll solve it myself." ”
"I can't trust the defenders in the city, it's only bad to let them interfere, it's better for me to come by myself,"
"You just need to watch them and don't let them interfere, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Okay."
Pei Lun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Since General Zuo insists, then the humble position has to be done." ”
"If there is any need, General Zuo will directly send someone to the Governor's Mansion to find a lowly position."
"No, just mind yourselves."
Zuo Liangyu dropped a sentence coldly, and then turned around and left directly.
After he left, Ding Xiu suddenly spoke: "Zuo Liangyu, it seems that there are some other plans. ”
"Indeed."
Pei Lun nodded slowly, and then spoke: "It can be seen from the fact that he brought six thousand people into the city that he didn't come just to get rid of Ma Shixiu. ”
Normally, in a surprise situation, if you want to take the Chu Palace, a thousand people can't use it.
After all, Ma Shixiu's soldiers can be regarded as Zuo Liangyu's people, even if it is to get rid of Ma Shixiu, the fewer people he should bring, the better.
But now, Zuo Liangyu directly asked Ma Shixiu and him to bring 3,000 people each into the city.
In this way, if he can ambush Ma Shixiu by surprise, then Zuo Liangyu can control at least five or six thousand troops in his hands.
With so many troops, it can be understood that Zuo Liangyu did this for the sake of insurance, but it can also be understood that Zuo Liangyu had bad intentions in the first place.
In Pei Lun's heart, he never regarded Zuo Liangyu as a person who could be trusted, so he directly ruled out the first option.
"Six thousand troops, this is to monopolize the wealth of the Chu Palace."
A cold light flashed in Pei Lun's eyes, and a guess appeared in his heart.
Zuo Liangyu's idea was to wait for the Chu Wangfu to be taken, and then use the advantage of military strength to directly occupy the wealth of the entire Chu Wangfu.
Even, for this reason, he directly turned his face with the court, he couldn't do it.
After all, the wealth of the Chu Wangfu is too much, so much that Zuo Liangyu can easily pull up a team of 100,000 people.
"That's a big appetite."
Ding Xiu shook his head, with a hint of disdain in his expression.
Zuo Liangyu's abacus is very good, but if he wants to swallow all the wealth of the Chu Palace, he still thinks a little too much.
In Lao Zhu's words before they left, you can take what I give.
What I don't give, you can't rob.
If you want to swallow the wealth of the Chu Palace, it depends on whether they agree or not.
Ding Xiu looked at Pei Lun, and then said, "Do you act according to the plan?" ”
"Hmm."
Pei Lun nodded, and then said, "Since he brought six thousand people, then you don't have to be polite." ”
"Although they are all the army of the Ming Dynasty, it is a pity, but those who can be brought by Zuo Liangyu are all his henchmen."
"If he can die a little more, he can also weaken some of his influence in the army, which directly cuts him from wanting to support the army and respect himself."
Of the 6,000 people brought by Zuo Liangyu, except for Ma Shixiu's 3,000, the rest were Zuo Liangyu's old battalion soldiers, and they were also Zuo Liangyu's most backbone force.
If most of them are buried here, then the generals controlled by Lao Zhu will have more voices in the army.
In the future, it is basically impossible for Zuo Liangyu to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement as before.
……
Inside the palace of the king of Chu.
After Zuo Liangyu left, the henchmen of the King of Chu always felt that what Zuo Liangyu said before was very reasonable, so he vaguely opened his mouth to persuade: "Lord, isn't it a little bad that we don't pay a penny like this." ”
"Not good? What's so bad? ”
Zhu Huakui snorted coldly, and said with some disdain: "These officials and generals, one is more greedy than the other. ”
"Do you really think he's here to get paid? He's here to ask for money for himself. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Huakui stood up and said: "What they say is high-sounding, what they say about governing the army and suppressing thieves, in fact, the money still falls into their own hands. ”
"This king has seen a lot of people like them."
"On weekdays, there are more greedy people than this king, and when something happens, I let this king pay for it, why? Is the money in my Chu Palace's Mansion blown by the wind? ”
"This time the king gave it, so next time he comes again, will the king give it? If others come to borrow money, will the king give it? ”
"If they are all given, how much will this king have enough to give them?"
"This king is just a prince, not an emperor, and they are short of military salaries, so they can go to the emperor, what do they have to do with this king."
Speaking of this, Zhu Huakui glanced at his henchmen, and then said in a deep voice: "Remember, if someone comes to borrow money in the future, you will directly move this chair given by Taizu out, this king wants to see if they dare to move this golden chair given by the emperor." ”
After saying this, Zhu Huakui left without looking back, obviously not taking this matter to heart at all.
