Volume 5 Chapter 36 The Lobbyist
Great gift?" and Bao was a little puzzled: "General Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
Cheng Shiyong looked at the two of them clearly, and when these two people saw Cheng Shiyong's behavior, they were even more puzzled.
Cheng Shiyong said: "Since I came from the sea, it can be seen that my purpose of coming here is not simple. You also know that in Minzhou, where I am located, there is Liu Shiqi in the south, and Cao Mengbo, a red man next to the general, in the north. The young master revolted, I had an idea, but the position was too biased, and I didn't dare to act rashly. “
Seeing that Cheng Shiyong said it so bluntly, after making brief eye contact with Baohe and Hu, he said: "Since the old general came with a rebellious heart, then we are allies." The old general's fear of isolation after the uprising was really well thought-out. In this way, my nephew and Kun are in Yunzhou, and I will send someone to escort the old general over and ask him to think of a way, how about it?"
Cheng Shiyong squinted his eyes at He Bao, and He Bao was a little confused by his look.
This Cheng Shiyong originally looked a little cunning, and this look directly made He Bao feel a little cold.
Cheng Shiyong saw that He Bao's expression was a little strange, so he smiled and said, "If I just want to find the young master, I don't have to come here to see you." ”
He Baohe and Hu's expressions changed greatly, and He Baoqiang smiled happily, he felt that Cheng Shiyong was a bit like he was playing tricks on the two of them.
He Baodao: "In this case, please ask the old general to make it clear." ”
Cheng Shiyong smiled and pointed at He Bao, then at He Kun, shook his head for a long time, and then asked, "You two, how is your relationship with He Kun?"
He Bao frowned: "He Kun is our own nephew, so he is naturally closer than ordinary people." “
Cheng Shiyong shook his head and said, "I heard that your uncle and nephew are not compatible. “
He Bao smiled: "The old general is hearsay, not credible. If there is really discord, how can my nephew rest assured that the two of us will stay and watch over Duzhou?"
As soon as He Bao's voice fell, Cheng Shiyong said: "He Kun took away most of the elite soldiers in Duzhou on the grounds of war, and left the two of them, I'm afraid there is only a fraction." Dare to ask the two of you, even if you have different intentions, do you dare to do anything?"
"This ......" and Bao's eyes turned, but he was speechless.
Cheng Shiyong said in a sympathetic tone: "It's a pity, it's a pity, you think you have a good relationship with this nephew, but this nephew doesn't want to take away your military power all the time, you two, I'm afraid that you will only have the share of pension in the future." “
After listening to Shiyong's words, he asked, "The old general's trip is for the two of us?"
Cheng Shiyong said mysteriously: "To be precise, I am here for myself. “
He Bao frowned: "I am willing to listen to you." “
Cheng Shiyong talked eloquently: "He Kun is arrogant, relying on the soldiers of the White Elephant Clan to be brave and abnormal, in fact, he doesn't take the young master in his eyes at all, and the young master must also know that He Kun is under his banner, but he just wants to be right." He Kun has ambitions, and he wants to be the emperor. “
He Baohe and Hu were a little shocked when they heard it.
Cheng Shiyong continued: "He Kun obeyed the order of this young master under the banner of making Duzhou independent, it was nothing more than wanting to personally master the elite soldiers of the six cities of the White Elephant Clan. At present, He Kun is with these elite soldiers of the six cities, which is basically all the elites of your White Elephant Clan, and this combat effectiveness is not necessary for the Tibetan soldiers who fight on the border all year round. ”
"He Kun is also stopping now, watching the situation develop, maybe as soon as he has the opportunity, he will kill the master and stand on his own. At that time, the two of you will stay in Duzhou for him to confuse the world, and if his business is successful, you may all have to return to your hometown. And even if Hekun's elite really swept the world, when the time comes, as the patriarch of the White Elephant Clan, how will he rule the Han people? ”
"Rather than this, in public and private, you two can take his place. What the White Elephants need is a leader who will lead them to grow and survive, not a leader who blindly takes risks and pursues selfish interests. If you get rid of Hekun, the young master will be very happy. When the time comes, you will recommend me to him, and it will be a matter of course. ”
After Cheng Shiyong finished speaking, the two of them didn't speak for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Shiyong asked, "What's the matter, I don't know the bottom of my heart?"
He Bao said tentatively: "Not to mention whether there is really an irreconcilable contradiction between my uncle and nephew, according to the old general's opinion, what kind of magical power do I have to use to get rid of He Kun with my bare hands?"
Cheng Shiyong said with a smile: "I didn't receive a secret order from the imperial court to transfer troops before, so I knew that the imperial court wanted to move me for more than a day or two. I wandered at sea for seven days and seven nights, risking my life to come, and naturally I had a countermeasure. ”
Both of them focused their attention on Cheng Shiyong's side.
Cheng Shiyong said with a relaxed expression: "I have a plan, let He Kun come back, you first close to the young master, ask his top killer to lie in the city, let your remaining cronies be armed, and when the killer kills He Kun, let them make a noise." You come out again to appease the situation, take over the military power, and hand over all the hatred to the court, from now on, regardless of anything else, just follow the will of this young master. With the military might of the White Elephant Clan, if this young master becomes a big deal and resolutely does not dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, then the two of you will sit in the battle, pass on the family for eternity, and earn a reputation, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
He Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "The old general's plan is a bit hopeful. It's just that if this young master has evil intentions and wants to curry favor with Hekun, but instead informs Hekun of our secret connection with him, and Hekun takes advantage of the situation to raise troops to come, what should I do?"
Cheng Shiyong said sharply: "Since you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, I will go to the young master myself! Ordinary people are like meteors for a short time, the two of you are so afraid and cowering, it is difficult to achieve great things, and you will go down to the underworld, don't talk about regrets, everything is to blame, no wonder others!"
"You ......" He Hu was a little disgusted with Cheng Shiyong's foul words, and He Bao hurriedly stopped He Kun and said to Cheng Shiyong: "Forgive me, old general, in this troubled world, naturally we have to be more scheming." It's just that today is the first time we've met, how can we trust you?"
"I, Cheng Shiyong, have come in person to make you trustworthy. As I said earlier, helping you is helping yourself. ”
And Bao said: "Forgive me, this token is fake!"
Cheng Shiyong sneered: "Since that's the case, I won't stay long." Farewell!"
After that, Cheng Shiyong got up and was about to leave.
He Hu was about to open the door to let Cheng Shiyong leave, but He Bao hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "The old general is not angry, be careful to make the Wannian ship." Our two brothers are indeed a little contradictory to this nephew, and they are in a hurry, and when the old general comes, they are like Daigo empowerment and sober up. ”
