Chapter 15: Lobbying
As soon as Gao Cheng entered the lobby, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the wine nose of the person who was in the first seat.
I knew in my heart: he was the sect master of the Li family of Zhao County, the drunkard Li Yuanzhong.
Look at him carefully, his face is dull and yellow, and he has obvious characteristics of alcoholism and liver damage, he is only forty-six, but he looks very old.
The other person is seated, and it should be a clan cronie.
After some courtesy.
Li Yuanzhong didn't have any extra politeness, and asked directly:
"Xiaolang is from Jinzhou, can you know Gao Jinzhou?"
"Don't hide it from Sect Master Li, Jinju Gao Cheng is the father of the family."
Li Yuanzhong and Li Mi glanced at each other, although they had already guessed, but when they really got the answer, they were somewhat surprised in each other's eyes.
Introducing Gao Cheng and the three of them into the seat, Li Yuanzhong said with a smile:
"Xiao Langjun traveled far away when he was young, and his courage is commendable, but I'm afraid this trip is not just for studying, right?"
"The study tour is just a closed ear and a closed ear, my father was entrusted by the king of Yingchuan County (Er Zhu Zhao) to rule the six towns to descend people, coinciding with the frost and drought in Jinzhou, with the permission of the king, he will lead the people to the east and come to Hebei to eat, I am just a guide for my father."
Li Yuanzhong, as the head snake of Yinzhou, is well-informed, and he has long known about Gao Huan's stationing in Dawang Mountain, otherwise he would not have been reluctant to respond to Xindu.
"In this way, Gao Jinzhou is afraid that he will be disappointed, Hebei is now full of beacons, and he is still too busy to take care of himself, how can he afford to support the people under Gao Jinzhou."
Li Yuanzhong, as a scholar from Hebei, did not have a good impression of Hu Sheng in Beizhen no matter what, not only did the rest of the six towns revolt in Hebei, and they killed a lot.
Moreover, because they opposed the Sinicization policy of Emperor Xiaowen and advocated force, a large number of official positions were occupied by martial artists, blocking the road to promotion for the children of the gate lord family.
"Sect Master Li didn't know that Erzhu Yinzhou invited his father to send troops several times to quell the war in Hebei, and he was willing to provide grain, but his father was busy with the reorganization of the department, so he didn't agree for a long time."
"I don't know how many troops Gao Jinzhou has?"
"My father had ten thousand brave people in Beizhen, and the king of Yingchuan County was forced by the thieves in Hexi, and recruited the rest of the six towns in exchange for my father to go north and kill the thief.
After setting up a camp in Dawang Mountain, 10,000 warriors were selected from more than 200,000 people in six towns, with a total of 20,000 elite soldiers, and the generals under his command gathered. ”
Gao Cheng bluntly told him that he believed that Li Yuanzhong could understand the gold content of these 20,000 soldiers.
Sure enough, Li Yuanzhong frowned, he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Beizhen warriors, and he had repelled Ge Rong's small army several times with the strength of the dock fort, but when the other party mobilized a large army, Li Yuchuan also fell immediately.
These martial artists are not comparable to the people coerced by Liu Lingzhu.
After a long time, Li Yuanzhong spoke:
"I heard that the six towns have rebelled twenty-six times in the state, and their wild nature is untamable, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Gao Jinzhou to convince them."
"Sect Master Li is too worried, in the past, Ge Rong gathered people in Hebei, known as millions, and his father rode into the enemy camp alone, and the seven kings came to vote, and there were thousands of people with him, so prestigious, why not worry about the hearts of the people in Beizhen."
Gao Cheng said disapprerovingly.
"I wonder when Gao Jinzhou plans to send troops?"
Gao Cheng didn't answer, but pointed the finger at Liu Lingzhu:
"What does Sect Master Li think, how does Liu Lingzhu this person?" "Liu Lingzhu was fortunate in divination, and he was deeply favored by Tianzhu, and he didn't think about reciprocating, but took advantage of Tianzhu's death, openly rebelled, and was ungrateful and treacherous, I hate him deeply."
"Sect Master Li, although Cheng is young, he is also the eldest in the family, I have worked tirelessly and come to Hebei from afar, so naturally I want to be with you, why do you lie and deceive me? Since Sect Master Li doesn't want to tell the truth, please let Cheng Weijun analyze one or two. ”
Without giving Li Yuanzhong a chance to refute, Gao Cheng stood up and said:
"As Sect Master Li said, Liu Lingzhu was fortunate to be used for divination, and was appointed to the four states to travel to the platform, and with the help of Fan Yang Lu's family, he was able to control Youzhou, and then used the people of Youzhou to coerce the people of various states, but the people who were coerced were easy to gather and disperse.
The reason why Liu Lingzhu has been able to live so far is just that the kings of the Erzhu clan have no time to look north because the Son of Heaven was abolished and divided their rights in Luoyang.
When Luoyang is finished, the king of Yingchuan County and his father will go east together, and Liu Lingzhu will help a fortunate disciple to bring the people to the countryside, how can he resist!
Once the decline is revealed, how can the Fan Yang Lu clan take the entire clan for him. ”
After Er Zhurong broke Ge Rong, the northerners understood a truth: soldiers, expensive essence, not too expensive.
Liu Lingzhu himself is not good at military affairs, and he has no elite troops under his command, so it is destined to be difficult to succeed.
Li Yuanzhong chose to cooperate with Xindu.
After the Heyin Change, Gao Qian and Gao Gao rebelled according to the land of Heji, repeatedly defeated the imperial court to recruit the army, and were recruited by Emperor Xiaozhuang with old feelings, and the Gao brothers chose to be attached.
"What is the intention of Xiao Langjun's trip?"
After some temptation, Li Yuanzhong actually had a general understanding of the purpose of Gao Cheng's trip.
"Liu Lingzhu is not the master, if Li Gong follows him, he is afraid that the pearl will be secretly invested, and although Xindu has the courage of the Gao family, there are only thousands of people, and it is also difficult to achieve great things."
"In this way, according to Xiao Langjun's vision, who can achieve great things?"
"Father."
Li Yuanzhong laughed when he heard this:
"If what I hear is not bad, Gao Jinzhou and the king of Yingchuan County are incense brothers."
Gao Cheng Zhengse:
"My father and Erzhu Zhao are righteous, it's just a personal relationship, Erzhu Zhao killed the Son of Heaven, but it is a national hatred, how can he forget the national hatred for personal feelings?"
"How does Gao Jinzhou plan to avenge the Son of Heaven?"
"The people of the consulate went out of Hebei in the east, and took Hebei as the foundation, waiting for the opportunity to build righteous deeds."
"Xiao Langjun is not afraid that I will tie you up and hand you over to Erzhu Yinzhou?"
"My father ordered me to go east to contact comrades, and I watched the people of Hebei, and Duke Li can trust him with his confidants, and he is not suspicious."
"Xiao Langjun's words are conclusive, but Gao Jinzhou stopped at Dawang Mountain, wandered and watched, and did not act like a British lord."
"The gentleman judged the situation, the camera moved, Cheng visited Li Gong today, just to find out the mind of the scholar clan for his father."
"Why is Xiao Langjun so confident that Gao Jinzhou can achieve great things?"
"My ancestors came from the Bohai Gao clan, because of the sin in Huaishuo, my father and son were Han people, and my father grew up in Beizhen, won the hearts of the six towns, Hebei, Han anointment, what is lacking, elite soldiers and strong generals.
My father is a child of the Bohai Gao family, and he brings the people of the six towns, if it can't be a big thing, Li Gong might as well put on his hair as soon as possible and be the people of Qihu. ”
Li Yuanzhong was still hesitating, Gao Cheng hit the railway while it was hot:
"Didn't Duke Li hear that Er Zhurong once said in the past that only his father could replace him to lead the army, Er Zhurong has always had the ability to know people, why did Li Gong hesitate."
Er Zhurong would never have thought that the words he had reminded his relatives to beware of Gao Huan that day would be used by Gao Cheng to contain people's hearts.
Gao Cheng looked at Hu Luguang and said:
"Mingyue, please also inform Li Gong of your home."
Hu Luguang said proudly:
"My father, Hu Lujin, is the second chieftain of the people, and he is also the general of Zhennan."
Li Yuanzhong was horrified in his heart: Hu Lujin is a general under the command of the Erzhu clan, and he also secretly served Gao Huan?
