Chapter 22: Speechless
Xie Tong said, "This is an idea of Lord Wang Daoxun, and I ask Brother Lai to keep it secret!" He quickly laid out the plan and laid it out, secretly observing Lai Kezhong's reaction as he spoke. He was almost sure of his thoughts, Lai Kezhong's personality was too upright, and he couldn't be reused by Ke Xu Cheng, what kind of treacherous people did Ke Xu Cheng like, if it weren't for Lai Kezhong's bravery, he would have been kicked out of the Yanjing Army.
After Lai Kezhong heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "This task is difficult?"
Xie Tong was also embarrassed to get up, and he was trying to win him over to complete such a difficult task, and his life was very likely to be lost, was it too difficult for him to do so! He smiled and didn't make a sound.
Lai Kezhong suddenly stretched out his big hand and said, "I am willing to join your camp, not for anything else, just to be able to kill happily with a hero like Brother Xie!"
Xie Tong didn't expect Lai Kezhong to agree so quickly, he hurriedly stretched out his big hand, and said excitedly, "It's an honor for the junior brother to be able to fight side by side with Brother Lai!
Lai Kezhong drank all the wine in the bottle, and said, "Lai has been following Kexucheng for ten years, this person is open-minded on the surface, but in fact he is a villain, and he doesn't know how many appalling things he has done behind his back. ”
Xie Tong finally understood why such a loyal person as Lai Kezhong had to defect from him, but what Xie Tong was puzzled about was that after he came to Sizhou. But inexplicably, he stood on the opposite side of this heavy soldier.
Xie Tong said, "I'll go back and find a way to do this, and I must let Kexu City release people openly!"
Lai Kezhong said: "Wait for the good news." However, Brother Xie only has three days, three days later. And the army departed!"
Lord Wang was going to the banquet, and Xie Tong was inconvenient to disturb him, so he had to go to Huo Zixin to discuss and see if he could think of any good way!
Huo Zixin was drinking in his room, and when he saw Xie Tong walking in, he waved his hand and said, "Lao Tzu knows that you won't go to the banquet, well, it's all ready for you!
Xie Tong sat down at the table and said, "Is Lao Tzu a drunkard? Lao Tzu didn't go to the banquet to prepare for the upcoming expedition." If everyone is as careless as you, it won't take three days to get to Jiangnan, and the whole army will be wiped out!" he said this, but he still poured a glass of wine and took a sip gently.
Huo Zixin glanced at him and said, "It's death both horizontally and vertically, Lao Tzu doesn't enjoy it more before leaving, I'm afraid that after leaving Tianchang, I won't be able to drink it in this life!"
Xie Tong put down his wine glass and said, "Where do you say frustrating words! This old man has found a good helper?"
Huo Zixin didn't look at him and said, "Look at the entire Eastern Route Army." In addition to you and me, I will take out the fearless martial arts to take a look, and no one else is worth mentioning, but there are thousands of troops and horses on the other side!
Xie Tong said, "I really picked up the treasure this time!" He hurriedly told Lai Kezhong about it!
Huo Zixin listened. "Lao Lai's archery skills are still trustworthy, but can Ke Xu Cheng easily let him go?"
Xie Tong said, "Aren't you looking for ideas?"
Huo Zixin said, "Lao Tzu is just a small commander, and he has no right to speak. Even if you listen to others in a battle, what's the use of you looking for Lao Tzu".
Xie Tong said: "Usually, you have a lot of crooked ideas." At the critical moment, Mao can't be used!"
Huo Zixin said, "It's not that there are no ideas! Is this like begging for someone? Empty-handed!"
Xie Tong hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, say quickly, if it is easy to use, how can my brother let you suffer, why don't you give you Old Man Wang's daughter!"
Huo Zixin scolded, "Get out of the way, Old Man Wang's daughter is not your daughter, can you be the master?" He couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's very simple, the key is whether Lao Lai is determined to go with us, and he will never deal with Kexu City in the future!"
Xie Tong said, "I can guarantee this, he has lost confidence in Kexu City!"
Huo Zixin said: "That's easy to do! You go directly to Kexu Cheng to ask for someone!"
Xie Tong said: "Is this also called a method? It's strange that Ke Xu Cheng can agree!"
Huo Zixin said, "I don't know what you generals have in their heads, have you forgotten the traitor Li Gong? Li Gong is in our hands, he is a smart person, he should know what to do?"
Xie Tong said in his heart that it was really a clever plan, and he hurriedly rushed out.
The banquet has dispersed, and Ke Xu Cheng is seeing off the guests at the gate of the courtyard! Seeing Xie Tong suddenly coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Did General Xie remember the wrong time?"
Xie Tong smiled and said, "The last general was busy with official affairs and couldn't go to the banquet in time, so I ask for forgiveness!"
Ke Xu Cheng piled up his hypocritical smile and said, "General Xie is my Tang Dynasty Lucky General, just after the southern expedition, he has already won two big victories, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will still praise it when he hears about it, how dare the old man blame General Xie." I don't know what General Xie is talking about here!"
Xie Tong looked at both sides of the gate and said, "The last general has something important to do, please enter the adult's mansion for a while!"
Ke Xu Cheng was also confused, Xie Tong didn't participate in the banquet, and it was clear that he wouldn't give him face, but he talked to him after the banquet, I really don't know what kind of routine this kid is! But he still smiled and said, "General Xie, please!"
Xie Tong followed Ke Xu Cheng to his reception room, someone had already served tea, and the two of them had used tea, Ke Xu Cheng finally didn't stay, and said, "I don't know what General Xie is talking about!"
Xie Tong said neatly, "The last general has encountered a little difficulty recently, and I want to ask for help!"
Ke Xu Cheng's eyes were lost, and he smiled and said, "General Xie is the blessed general of my Tang Army, and he can do everything on the battlefield, but I am afraid that the old man will not be able to do anything, not only will he not be able to help, but he will miss the general's big thing!"
Xie Tong shouted in his heart, sure enough, it was an old fox, and he politely refused Xie Tong when he came up, for fear that Xie Tong would make some excessive requests!
Xie Tong smiled and said, "My lord said that I am joking, since the last general has asked for help, the adult must have the ability to complete this matter, and I hope that the adult will help the last general in the face of serving the country!"
Ke Xu Chengpi said with a smile, "Then it depends on what the general asks, as long as the old man can do his best, he will definitely go all out, general, please speak!"
Xie Tong said, "The commander of the dreadnought battalion under the command of the last general, was seriously injured in the battle of the Great Wall of Heaven, and the dragons are currently leaderless, so that the army is disheartened, and the last general heard that there is a warrior under the command of the adult, named Lai Kezhong, who has a way to govern the army, and I hope that the lord will borrow it for his own use, and return it to the adult after the injury of the commander Yi recovers!"
Ke Xu Cheng laughed and said, "General Xie really has good eyesight, Commander Lai is indeed a brave general, but it's a pity that the old man is about to attack Yangzhou, and he is still short of soldiers and major generals, and the old man is still worried about this, I don't know if General Xie has any people who can lend the old man a use, and after the capture of Yangzhou, he will return it, the old man will not forget the strong support of the general, and he will play the Son of Heaven in the future, and show the general's merits!"
Xie Tong almost wanted to scold his mother in his heart, this guest Xu Cheng was cunning and cunning, not only did he not let Lai Kezhong go, but also plotted against Xie Tong's people, but he also said it out of the blue, so that Xie Tong couldn't refute it.
Xie Tong didn't have to think about it, Ke Xu Cheng must have fallen in love with Huo Zixin, although Huo Zixin had no brains when he started fighting, he was still a tiger general.
Xie Tong said, "The last general didn't know that the adults had such difficulties, the soldiers were still loyal to the country, and the last generals were admired, since the adults were in difficulty, the last generals would definitely support it!"
Ke Xu Cheng couldn't believe his ears, he had already heard of Xie Tong, and the rumors described Xie Tong in great detail, treacherous, cunning, never suffered, and flaws would be reported, but the person in front of him seemed to be far from the rumors, and even contrary to them, he was simply happy, and just about to open his mouth to ask for someone, Xie Tong had already interrupted him.
Xie Tong smiled and said, "Lord Ke, there are a thousand commanders under the last general, named Li Gong, who is brave and martial, still above Huo Zixin, and he is full of wisdom, how about giving it to the adult!
Ke Xu Cheng's face finally turned dead gray, when he first received the fake news from Li Gong, he guessed that Xie Tong and the others knew about the traitor, but he didn't expect that he would find out who the traitor was, which really caught him off guard, but he was also scheming, how could he let Xie Tong see the flaws, and his face did not change and said, "What? There is such a character, hey, the old man is lonely and unheard, and he no longer knows the rising generation of the rivers and lakes! When the southern expedition is over, the old man will definitely return to his hometown and enjoy a comfortable life."
Xie Tong was aroused by his last sentence, everyone will grow old, and the day when they are powerless, what are they doing when that day comes! Is it to travel the world with Hong Shan and live some carefree days, or to live in the fate of the master all day long! He shook his head, this question is too cruel. He looked at Ke Xu Cheng, this old and cunning person, Ke Xu Cheng was talking about everything, deliberately changing the topic, obviously not admitting the matter of hard work. He smiled and said, "My lord said a little farther, but Li Gong is indeed extremely powerful, especially proficient in the way of pigeon stocking, and must be very useful for adults to pass on the news." He deliberately mentioned this matter, not afraid that Ke Xu Cheng would not admit it.
Ke Xu Cheng's body trembled slightly, Xie Tong is really powerful, this move grabbed his key point, the other party grabbed Li Gong's matter, which made him dare not act rashly, Li Gong was he inserted into the Hebei Army through Xue Yue many years ago, and mastered a lot of information about him, if he was caught by the other party in this matter, he would definitely fall short, yes, he was not playing tricks, but calmed down, and said with a smile, "Xie Tong really lives up to his name, the old man admires it very much, and asks General Xie to draw a line to see if there is a way to solve it!"
Xie Tong looked at Ke Xu Cheng with a smile and said, "The adults are quick to talk, and the end will admire." I don't have any delusions, for adults, the usefulness of Li Gong is probably much greater than that of Lai Kezhong, so it's better to exchange it, and the two sides will not suffer."
Ke Xu Cheng also showed his due demeanor, although he was displeased, he still sighed and said, "The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and it is the first time that he has been calculated by a junior, Xie Tong, there is you! You must have met Lai Kezhong, otherwise you would not openly ask me for someone, okay, these old men have been estranged from Lai Kezhong a lot, remember to treat him well, but you remember this, one day, the old man will definitely find this field!"
