Chapter 7 What's so powerful
Li Ye suddenly became violent, which Wu Hook did not expect, but after he was stunned, he did not mess up. Since he dared to take the initiative to ask for an envoy to Hedong, he naturally had some rhetoric, and he was confident that he could move Li Ye.
He carefully said: "King An asked Zhongwu to send troops, and Zhongwu did not dare to disobey. However, Qin Lian is also a loyal and righteous minister, and he just wants to serve the country in troubled times. And if Qin Lian felt uneasy and worried that he would be questioned by King An in the future...... I'm afraid that the immortals of the Daomen will reach Zhongwu, and Qin Lian's envoy will not be able to resist. ”
His intention was naturally to make Li Ye's attitude better, after all, this was doing something beneficial to Li Ye, if Li Ye forced Qin Zongquan to be anxious, he might go to Zhu Wen.
Li Ye laughed: "It's not that the Lone King looks down on him Qin Zongquan, it's true that Qin Zongquan doesn't have the capital that the Lone King looks down on." This world is not fair, without the power of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it is destined to not be able to achieve much climate. Although Qin Zongquan is making a lot of noise now, in the final analysis, it is just fish on the chopping board. ”
"Wu Changshi, doesn't he know that Qin Zongquan is already dying? Zhu Wen has the support of the Daomen, and intends to set foot in the Central Plains, and the loyal military is the first to bear the brunt, if Qin Zongquan wants to live, he can only obediently be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty and bow down to the Lone King. In this way, if the lonely king is in a good mood, he can still save his life. Otherwise, even if Zhu Wen pacifies Qin Zongquan, there will be no loss to the Lone King, how should the Lone King deal with Zhu Wen in the future, or how to deal with it. ”
Wu Gou opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
He didn't expect Li Ye's attitude to be so tough.
From the perspective of connecting horizontal and vertical, Li Ye should indeed unite with Qin Zongquan and let Qin Zongquan create chaos for Zhu Wen from behind. However, what Li Ye said was right, Qin Zongquan really didn't have this strength, and if he wanted to make trouble for Zhu Wen, he had to send a great monk to help.
And once such a great monk is sent to Xuzhou, Qin Zongquan's life will be in the hands of others, and it is not what people say?
Wu Gou's forehead was sweating, and he finally understood what Li Ye meant by asking him first if he was a Confucian, and Li Ye just wanted to make sure whether Qin Zongquan had Confucian support behind him. No, it's not worth looking at each other properly.
In the face of absolute strength, even if Wu Gou can bloom lotus flowers, he will not be of any use.
Seeing that Wu Gou had nothing to say, Li Ye waved his hand: "Wu Changshi, go down, relay the words of King Gu to Qin Zongquan, and let him do what he wants." ”
Seeing that Li Ye gave the order to send off the guests, Wu Gou had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.
When he left the palace, Wu Gou felt that the sky was extremely dark, and all the previous high-spirited spirit had become a joke at this moment.
After Wu Hook left, Li Ye received a report from the Tsing Yi Yamen that Shangguan Chengcheng had arrived in Qingzhou and was working with Cui Keli to defend the city. The third group of monks of the demon clan has also arrived, and they have fought with He Jingcheng's people, and the two sides have won and lost each other, and overall they have not suffered any losses.
Seeing that Qingzhou was safe for the time being, Li Ye got up and went to Chengde.
......
In the wing room of the Taoist temple, Wang Jingchong on the main seat looked at the people in front of him behind the small case, and felt a little strange no matter how he looked at it.
The white-robed Taoist man holds the snow-white dust in his arms, closes his eyes and refreshes his mind, as if he does not eat the fireworks of the world; the Confucian man sits upright, and the corners of the robe are very smooth, although he does not do anything extraordinary, but he gives people a meticulous feeling.
The soldier's man's small case was placed next to Lao Dao, and he sat there with a big golden sword, which was quite a bit of a deep and a mountain. He is also the most oppressive of the three.
Behind each of the three stood a junior, different from the three of them who were as steady as Mount Tai, when the juniors looked at each other, they all had hostility in their eyes.
This posture fell in Wang Jingchong's eyes, making him feel a big head for a while. It was hard for him to imagine that these people represented the three Confucianism, Taoism, and soldiers to help him stabilize the situation in Chengde and resist Li Ye's annexation.
In fact, according to Wang Jingchong's original intention, whether to confront Li Ye or not is between the two sides. He has heard of Li Ye's treatment of Zhaoyi, Henghai, and Tianping, as long as they obey Li Ye's orders, they will still be their festival envoys.
This is not unacceptable for Wang Jingchong, although he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity in troubled times to make a career, but he also has to do what he can, right?
Wei Bo, Chengde, and Lu Longsu are called the three towns of Hebei, and the imperial court only has the nominal right to appoint and dismiss them, but in fact they all go their own way, and their fathers die and their sons succeed, as if they are independent kingdoms.
Now that it is a troubled time, Wang Jingchong feels that as long as Li Ye does not break this rule, he can respect Li Ye's orders and even follow him to fight. After all, Li Ye represents the Tang Dynasty to a large extent, and listening to his orders is not a loss.
But now that the three Confucianists, Daoists, and soldiers are here, they have the intention of helping him, and he is happy to take a look while walking. If it is really as the three families said, Li Ye has no possibility of reviving the Tang Dynasty and is doomed to perish, then he is not without the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.
What if it succeeds?
The soldiers supported Li Maozhen, and the Taoist men supported Zhu Wen, and the princes selected by Confucianism were not yet known, and this Wang Jingchong knew it. But he doesn't care, the troubled times are in power, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, as long as they can use each other, they may not be without opportunities.
After everyone greeted each other, the first one who couldn't help but go straight to the topic was Zhao Weihuang, a soldier from the military family, who said: "My soldier is willing to send five generals and two generals to help the Lian envoy fight against Li Ye!"
As he spoke, he looked at Confucianism Liu Zhixing, as if he looked at Confucianism more unpleasantly than Daomen, and mocked: "What is Confucianism going to do?
Wang Jingchong was overjoyed, there were no generals in his army, and he was short of this now.
Liu Zhixing glanced at Zhao Weihuang and said lightly: "Confucianism is governing the people, not fighting. Confucian scholars can make the people of Chengde calm and ensure military supplies. ”
Wang Jingchong was overjoyed, and Confucianism's ability to govern the people was well known.
"Both of them are quick to talk, and the old way is not easy to hide. Daomen can send immortal realm monks over to help Chengde light the fire in the backyard of Hedong. Lao Dao laughed.
Wang Jingchong couldn't help but be overjoyed, with the immortal court monk by his side, he was not afraid that Li Ye would send someone to assassinate him.
Wang Jingchong got up and left his seat, and hugged his fists to everyone: "With the help of the three families, I will become strong and strong, and it is really easy to block King An's soldiers!"
Liu Zhixing was humble, the old man smiled and said nothing, and Zhao Weihuang said hardly: "The three families work together, no one in the world has such power, if Wang Jiedu can't make it, then there is really no heavenly reason!"
Wang Jing Chongzhi was proud, and it was a bright smile on his face, "Wang is not talented, it is really an honor for Wang to be able to participate in the grand event of the three families!"
Wang Jingchong immediately ordered a banquet to be set up in the Taoist temple and invited the three to drink.
However, before the banquet was set, an emergency military order was quickly delivered to Wang Jingchong: "King An's men and horses have entered the territory of Chengde and are heading towards Zhenzhou, which is less than a hundred miles away from Tuoshui!"
When Wang Jingchong heard the military report, he couldn't help but change his face.
The land of the four states of Chengde, Zhenzhou is the closest to Hedong. It was not far away, and Li Ye's soldiers and horses set off from Hedong and could arrive at Zhenzhou City in a few days.
But before that, Chengde did not make it clear that he would not obey Li Ye's orders, why did Li Ye's soldiers and horses come?
When there was nothing to do before, Wang Jingchong didn't feel that there was anything to be an enemy with Li Ye, but now that Li Ye's soldiers and horses arrived in Zhenzhou, he suddenly remembered Li Ye's brilliant achievements. The shadow of the famous tree, Li Yeping and Wei Bo occupy Hedong, but it didn't take much time at all, and those soldiers and horses in Chengde were much inferior to Hedong, so how to compete with Li Ye now?
Wang Jingchong suddenly felt a burst of shock: "This ...... How's that okay?"
Zhao Weihuang sneered: "Why should you panic if you are here, Li Ye is really here, and my soldiers can also help you stabilize the situation!"
Not only him, Lao Dao is also very calm and relaxed, Liu Zhiyuan is always serious and rigid, there is no joy or anger on his face, but his eyebrows are very calm.
Seeing this, Wang Jingchong's heart was a lot calmer, "Yes, yes, yes, now that Wang has all the help, why should he be afraid of King An?" He hurriedly stabilized his mind and asked the military envoy: "How many people are here from King An?"
The military envoy's expression was slightly strange: "Ten thousand...... 10,000 steps to ride!"
"10,000 people?only 10,000 people?" Wang Jingchong was stunned, the second monk was confused, he looked at Zhao Weihuang and the others, "What does King An mean by this? Does he think that he can capture Zhenzhou City with only 10,000 cavalry?"
Zhao Weihuang slanted at Wang Jingchong, who was frightened: "It seems that King An didn't take you seriously!"
Wang Jingchong was annoyed and ashamed, his face turned red, and he struck the knot fiercely: "King An is too blind to no one! With 10,000 steps of riding, he dares to offend me Chengde? This time, I must let King An know how powerful Wang is and let him see the military might of my Chengde!"
When he first heard that Li Ye was coming, he was in a mess, and now when he heard that there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses, he immediately settled down and became arrogant again.
It's a pity that his arrogance is fleeting.
Because a mocking voice had already sounded: "The Lone King really doesn't know, what is so powerful about you Wang Jingchong!"
"Who?!" The people in the room couldn't help but change color when they heard the voice, and Liu Zhixing, who had always been indifferent, and Liu Zhixing, who had never changed his face, couldn't help but be startled at this moment, and looked out of the door one after another.
"Don't look for it, the lonely king is on your head. The mocking voice became playful and came clearly from the rooftop.
"Not good!" Lao Dao exclaimed, jumped out in one step, as fast as lightning, and was about to rush out of the house when he lifted Wang Jingchong's back collar.
Not only him, but Liu Zhixing and Zhao Weihuang also hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to leave the house.
However, they are too slow.
Before they could get to the door, the roof suddenly collapsed entirely, and smoke and dust rose everywhere!
No, it's not the roof that is collapsing, it's the whole house, with the foundation, suddenly sinking into the ground!
The roof, walls, and masonry suddenly cracked, and in an instant, the wood and stone in the house flew vertically and horizontally, and the whirring wind howled like a ghost, enveloping everyone in it!
Before the horrified crowd could react, they were crushed to the ground by the collapsed roof and walls, like dead people buried in a mound of earth!
The monks in the vicinity heard the noise, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they were speechless by the sight before them.
The house was gone, except for a smoky ruin, in a huge square pit a few feet below the ground.
And above the ruins, at the location of the original roof, a young man dressed in a black robe and with a lofty aura stood with his hands hanging over, like a god.
