Volume 1 The Northern and Southern Emperors Chapter 80 Zhou Juqi
The situation in the True Dragon Palace is a great joy for all.
Zhang Yuntao was satisfied, Zhang Yongdian's performance made him have a very good impression of this imperial uncle.
Han Hui got the news that Tong Yeshan insisted on being on the same front as the imperial court, and he was already open-minded about the conquest of Zhang Tianxi's regime.
The one who benefited the most was Zhang Yongdian, and his plan to go down the mountain at this time could be described as a complete success. Killing half of the immortals and clearing the obstacles on his way, originally after he returned to the mountain, in the face of Lan Qingfeng's questioning, only relying on the support of Lu Yiping's Red Dragon Army, it was somewhat difficult, after all, in the rivers and lakes, the authority of the Great Sword Immortal was still difficult to shake, but with the heavy identity of the imperial uncle and the protection of Zhang Yuntao, presumably Tong Yeshan not only would not ask him for the crime, but he also might become a figure who maintained the relationship between Tong Yeshan and the imperial court.
In fact, there is another thing that people do not know. In addition to killing half of the immortals with a pawn, Zhang had one person secretly instructed him.
The battle between the masters of the reincarnation hall hides the power struggle between the higher levels of Tongye Mountain.
Di Xiao, the lord of Tongye Mountain, can't go out of retreat, the leaders at the highest level are the three deacons, and the three of them are respected by Lan Qingfeng, Wang Han has an unusual relationship with him, and it is self-evident who instructed Zhang Yongdian to act like this.
"The situation of Tongye Mountain Sword Immortal's dominance is finally coming to an end. ”
Zhang Yongdian secretly thought to himself that he almost couldn't control the muscles on his face, revealing a hideous color.
He slowly stepped aside, and the next stage was handed over to Lu Yiping.
"Lu Shuai, I have something to ask. ”
Zhang Yuntao cleared his throat and made his tone more serious.
Lu Yiping stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the last general should obey it, how dare you ask Your Majesty for advice." ”
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Zhang Yuntao said: "What is the current situation in Dayue, Lu Shuai also knows that the rebellion of the two prefectures in the south, coupled with the defection of Zeng Xu, the monarch of the Nanxuan Mansion, has gone to the three mansions. ”
"To put it mildly, I sit in this position and have trouble sleeping, and I am often scolded by my former emperor brother Tuomeng, who taught me not to be a lost emperor. ”
"I'm not afraid to talk to you, relying on the strength of Chenghua Mansion, I can't be sure of destroying the rebellion, so I want to ask Lu Shuai to tell me what is the best way to break the enemy. ”
After that, he got up and slowly left the dragon chair, walked down the golden dragon steps, came to Lu Yiping, and said sincerely: "I am a young junior, and to revitalize Dayue, I still need Lu Shuai and other seniors to give advice." ”
This move caused a lot of commotion among the ministers, why did this emperor still seem to be begging Lu Yiping, and his posture was so low? This was just the first time they met.
Lu Yiping hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The last general knows everything." ”
He was secretly shocked in his heart, Zhang Yuntao was so young, he thought that he should be full of ambition and strong blood, but he didn't expect to be so polite and virtuous.
Even Han Hui frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Yuntao like this, it was a good thing not to put on a show, but if he didn't even lose his majesty as an emperor, it was really too much.
But he was immediately relieved, he always used Zhang Yunlan's style to ask Zhang Yuntao, the Emperor of Suzhen was domineering, although Zhang Yuntao was his own brother, but the two personalities were very different, Zhang Yuntao was sincere, benevolent and righteous, but he was very rational before the big right and wrong, and he could often get to the point when dealing with problems.
In the battle between the imperial court and the Red Dragon Army, Zhang Yuntao sent three close guards, which has already shown that his young son of heaven is by no means a wine bag and rice bag, since he already has a strength foundation that Lu Yiping attaches importance to, there is no need to fight for many of these meaningless face issues, such a sincere attitude will make the other party feel good.
The bystanders were clear, and Lu Yiping even glanced at this emperor in his heart.
I can't say, Dayue can really complete ZTE in the hands of this young man.
"The last general thinks that the trouble of Dayue lies in the fact that the imperial court decree does not become a Huafu, all the provinces are autonomous, and the loyal people of each province are at most called ministers to protect themselves, and when the court asks them to contribute, they are almost nine points of shirk and one point of coping, and those who are disloyal are called feudal officials, to put it bluntly, which one is not the king of the land?"
Lu Yiping's style is also vigorous and resolute, and he immediately began his exposition, and the hundred officials in the entire True Dragon Hall have become his audience.
"And the source of the disaster lies in Zhang Yue's lack of way back then, everyone knows it, and I won't say more. Lu Yiping's eyes were serious, and he said in a deep voice: "However, the greater disaster is in the court now, I sent a few people to fight with the representatives of the imperial court before, they are all capable people, my Red Dragon Army is ashamed of itself, but among these few people, none of them are from the Chenghua Mansion Army." ”
"In addition to the Royal Forest Army, the Golden Armor Guard, the Wolf Guard, and the City Defense Army are all gone?"
"This is the fault of the ministers, everyone only cares about doing some small things at hand, but they hand over the military and political affairs to the prime minister, and some people talk about the prime minister's dictatorship, he is not autocratic, can you mediocre people mess around?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yiping's face was faintly angry, he respected Han Hui very much, and after listening to the officials of Chenghua Mansion in many ways, he felt that there were too many incompetent people, so he had this remark.
Sure enough, many of the hundreds of officials had a sudden change in their faces, but they all lowered their heads in unison, and no one came forward to defend themselves.
"Lu Shuai, just talk about things. ”
Han Hui mentioned it on the side, he was secretly happy in his heart, he and Zhang Yuntao and the ministers got along every day, some words were too clear and not good, Lu Yiping said these things as a foreign minister, which invisibly helped him, but he still had to maintain the court on the surface, so as not to make too much trouble.
"Let's talk about your best plan to break the enemy. ”
Lu Yiping restrained his emotions and continued: "As I said before, the princes of each province are divided into territories, and those who can really contribute to the imperial court will not exceed the three provinces, and the three provinces of the south have been lost, if my expectations are correct, the current number one enemy of the puppet emperor is not the imperial court, but the Nanwu Mansion that dominates the south." ”
Speaking of this, many military ministers also nodded secretly, the strength of the Nanwu Mansion, even the Chenghua Mansion did not dare to say that it could compete alone.
If Zhang Tianxi's regime wants to truly divide the north and the south, and cross the south of Shenglei Mansion, which has Panyun Fortress, to conquer the north, it must sweep away Nanwu Mansion and unify the south.
"Nanwu Mansion Jun Luo Zong has always been quite respectful to the imperial court, but the relationship between the Luo clan is intertwined, and he alone cannot influence the attitude of Nanwu Mansion, but at least he can guarantee that he will not be an enemy of the imperial court. ”
"My first suggestion is that the imperial court can give a heavy gift to the Nanwu Mansion and support it in fighting against the puppet emperor group, and trap the opponent in the southern area before the imperial court gathers enough troops to march south. ”
As soon as Lu Yiping's words came out, there were many voices of approval among the courtiers.
"That's right, if Luo Zong can sweep away the rebellion for the imperial court, I won't have to worry about waiting!"
"It's a good plan to kill people with a knife. ”
Looking at these people, Han Hui sighed in disappointment, and Zhang Yuntao and Lu Yiping also sank.
As a minister of the imperial court, how can he just think about relying on external forces?
"Everyone!"
Lu Yiping couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily, which contained internal strength, which shook the feet of the ministers and almost fell down.
Zhang Yuntao was dressed in the Zhenhai Dragon King Shengang Protector, his face did not change, but he was also shocked by Lu Yiping's high skill, no wonder even the drunkard said that he lost to him.
Han Hui had no martial arts cultivation, but at this time, a hand was placed on his shoulder, pouring a cold breath, isolating Lu Yiping's internal force, and it was Wen Jin in a black robe who quietly appeared above the court.
But even he didn't notice it, and at the moment of his exercise, a gaze was fixed on him.
Looking at these mediocre people, Lu Yiping could only snort coldly, and he had to hand over their affairs to Han Hui.
Deterred, he ignored the many resentful looks, and said leisurely: "If you want to prosper, you must first improve yourself, although Nanwu Mansion can restrain rebellion for a while, but the battle situation is unpredictable, no one can predict the result, the imperial court needs to pull out an army in a short time, and take advantage of the fight between the puppet emperor and Nanwu Mansion to cross the Panyun Fortress in one go and wipe them out." ”
"Now the best opportunity is in Wuxian Pass, Liu Bin failed to usurp the throne, was beheaded to show the public, and has become a national thief, Wuxian Pass is now under my control, but this is not enough. ”
He looked at Zhang Yuntao and said: "The last general, please choose one person to be named the Five Tiger Generals, replace Liu Bin in charge of Wuxian Pass, and crown him as the generalissimo of rebellion, so that the imperial court will really take Wuxian Pass into the bag, and the teacher will be famous." ”
Baiguan and Han Hui also looked at Zhang Yuntao, and he had to make a decision on this matter.
Zhang Yuntao thought for a while and said, "Lu Shuai said well, it's just a candidate for this Five Tiger General and Generalissimo of the Rebellion...... Does Lu Shuai have someone to recommend?"
"As a foreign minister, and I control one side, I can't say this question. Lu Yiping smiled: "But since Your Majesty has an order, I have no choice but to obey it." ”
"The last general thought that those who could take on this great task should be good at managing the army, have good plans, and be famous. ”
From this point of view, the last general recommended Zhou Juqi, the defender of the East Acropolis. ”
Zhang Yuntao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Hui, he knew that this person Han Hui must be familiar with.
Because this Zhou Juqi is none other than the eldest grandson of Zhou Hong, the Duke of Dingshan, whose father died early, and now that Zhou Hong is seriously ill, Zhou Juqi is likely to be the next Duke of Dingshan.
