Chapter 35: Change the vest

After Fu Gongyou retreated, Cao Xu thought in his heart, "In the Wagang army in the north, Li Mi's power is better than day by day, and the contradiction between the big dragon leader Zhai Rang and Li Mi is getting deeper and deeper, and it only takes a little spark to completely detonate this powder keg." It is not difficult to take www.biquge.info the opportunity to gather a few Wagang generals when the time comes. ”

The problem of the lack of generals in the army has seen the dawn of being solved, but the vacancy on the side of Wenchen has made Cao Xu feel a deep headache.

Although Fu Gongyou is talented, he can't carry the beam alone. Although many literati have come to seek refuge one after another, most of them are talents from one county and one county, and there is a big gap between them and the kind of talents who seek the country that Cao Xu expected.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Cao Xu was able to turn out the talents in his head, that is, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, plus a Wei Zheng, these three celebrities.

It's just that apart from the name, I don't know what kind of people these three people are and what they did before they became famous.

In this era of poor information, finding a few people who have never been famous just by name is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. Xuanwutang has also found a few people with the same name and surname, but the talent is not mentioned.

A few days ago, the spies arranged by Xuanwutang in the Wagang Army inadvertently intercepted a person who was about to defect to Li Mi and was also named Wei Zheng, and immediately invited him to go south.

Thinking of this, Cao Xu felt a little more hope in his heart.

In the bustling Yangzhou wharf, a middle-aged man in his thirties got off a big ship.

Looking around, the entire pier is in good order, although it is full of people. It looks very peaceful, completely different from the war-torn north.

Obviously, the people here have recognized the rule of the Yangzhou Army in their hearts.

The people's minds are determined, and there is much to be done.

Wei Zheng touched a sign in his arms, thought about it, and didn't take it out directly. All the way to the city gate, added money, after entering the city, I saw that Yangzhou City was more prosperous, rubbing shoulders, so lively.

The search for someone pointed out the way, Wei Zheng went straight to the door of the governor's mansion and handed the sign in his arms.

In the governor's mansion, after Cao Xu got the report, he immediately ordered someone to invite Wei Zheng in.

"Wei Zheng visited the manager. Wei Zheng bowed his hand and said.

"Mr. Wei doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat. Cao Xu said.

After the two sat down, Cao Xu said: "Now that there is chaos, I want to unify the north with the south and reinvigorate the Han Dynasty, why can Mr. Wei teach me?"

Wei Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "The chief steward should call the king as soon as possible, accumulate grain to store material resources, and train diligently to wait for the opportunity. The northern heroes are divided and the war is endless, so it is not advisable to go north too early, so as not to sink into the mud and find it difficult to extricate themselves. On the contrary, it is Bashu, which should be captured as soon as possible. ”

Cao Xu said: "What does Mr. Wei think of the Wagang Army?"

Wei Zheng said: "Zhai Rang and Li Mi are fighting each other, and the Wagang army will definitely be greatly injured. The governor can take the opportunity to capture several counties in Huaibei as a stronghold for the coming day. ”

Cao Xu said: "Mr. Wei's golden and good words, I have been taught. Sir is talented, I don't know if you can help me?"

"The chief is good, how dare the minister be different, the minister Wei Zheng, meet the lord!" Wei Zheng bowed down and said.

"Mr. Wei, please hurry up!" Cao Xu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Wei Zheng up, and said, "Jiangdu County is temporarily short of a county leader, so Mr. Wei will temporarily take this position, and at the same time enter the political hall to participate in politics." ”

Jiangdu County Cheng, the political hall participates in politics, and ascends to the sky in one step.

Wei Zheng's head felt dizzy, and he hurriedly settled down and said, "My lord, when the minister first arrived, he rose to such a high position, I am afraid it will cause criticism." ”

Cao Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, don't worry, I just want to see who will jump out." ”

As he spoke, his voice was already a little cold.

Wei Zheng felt a chill in his heart, he was really a companion like a tiger.

A few days later, the belongings and armor of Yang Gong's treasury were transported down the river from Xiangyang City to Yangzhou City.

At the same time, there were several people from the Yang Sui clan who were not satisfied.

These people were used by Cao Xuyong to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. You say that you are Yang Yong's son, and you have to be recognized by others.

Empty words, that's bragging.

Shi Zhixuan was very thoughtful in his preparation, and Cao Xu saved a lot of effort.

The identity used by Cao Xu at this time was Shi Potian, Shi Long's nephew. In order to gain a foothold in Yangzhou as soon as possible, it was a last resort.

Now, it's time to change into his other vest.

The Yang Sui clan was scarce, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian's generation was all dead, and Yang Guang's generation was either killed or placed under house arrest. Being able to find a few side branches is already Shi Zhixuan's hands and eyes.

Shi Potian, the governor of Yangzhou, the overlord of the south, turned out to be the son of the late prince Yang Yong.

After this news was confirmed by the Yangzhou army, it spread to the whole world at a very fast speed.

Several counties south of the Yangtze River, which were originally on the sidelines, immediately expressed their submission.

The heroes of the northern division all set their sights on Yangzhou City.

Those who originally thought that the Sui Dynasty was exhausted have polished their eyes and re-examined the general trend of the world.

In Chang'an City, Yang Guang, who was drunk and dreaming of death, learned the news, laughed a few times and muttered to himself: "The sky will not die, my Great Sui." ”

Countless rumors that are true and false, false and difficult to distinguish between truth and reality are circulating in the streets and alleys, and under Cao Xu's instructions, Xuanwutang has added fuel to the fire, and countless versions have been freshly baked.

What is the first master in Yangzhou, "mountain pusher" Shi Long used to be the guard of the crown prince Yang Yong, carrying an incognito surname, or Shi Long walked the rivers and lakes and inadvertently met the orphan who escaped alive and so on.

For a while, even Shi Long's identity became confusing.

The more this happens, the more curious people become. Even Song Yuquan and Wang Zhiyuan in Southern Taoism found the stone dragon who was living in seclusion and cultivated the Tao, and knocked on the side, but they couldn't ask for any news.

Yangzhou City, the governor's house.

Yun Yu is really reporting the situation to Cao Xu, "Li Mi has been called Duke Wei and placed as an official subordinate. Fang Yanzao is the left long history, Bing Yuanzhen is the right long history, Yang Defang is the left Sima, and Zheng Detao is the right Sima. Their generals are different. Pei Renji threw himself in, and his power was already quite huge, and Zhai asked Wang Ruxin to persuade the president to do all the work in order to seize the secret power. It can be seen that neither of the two can coexist, but it has not yet exploded. ”

Was it because the rise of the Yangzhou Army had affected the struggle within the Wagang Army? However, it was only a matter of time.

"Pay close attention to the dynamics of the Wagang Army. Cao Xu commanded.

"Yes, sir. Yun Yuzhen said.

Cao Xu's identity has changed from reckless to noble, and the direct impact is that his subordinates are more respectful and polite. (To be continued.) )
