Four hundred and fifty-three temptations from Youzhou

"General Zhao, does you know who the emperor sent to contact Tiefu?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I once heard from my subordinates that I had seen Gu Tong, the sixth prince, near Jinling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wu Zheng nodded after hearing this, the sixth prince was originally one of the three princes who had the hope of succeeding to the throne, and it would be reasonable if Emperor Gu Shu arranged for him to lobby Tie Rulin. And from the perspective of Gu Tong's dignity, what the emperor values should be his special relationship with Tiefu. In other words, he hopes to achieve the goal of tying himself to continue to work for the Gu family by winning over the Tiefu.

"What does General Zhao mean when he asked if he is interested in the Yun family just now?"

Although Yun Yicen, the head of the Yun family, is optimistic about King Song, the largest force led by Yun Yicen's eldest son, Yun Jinxiang, said that if you have to choose a side, it is better to choose King Xiaoyao than to choose King Song. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Chengjun stopped and stared at Wu Zheng tightly, as if he wanted to see through Wu Zheng's mind at this time.

"It seems that there are not many people in the Central Plains who are optimistic about my King Yao, right?"

"The King of Freedom is wrong in saying this, if he said that before receiving the Shuntian Mansion, he was right. But since the King of Joy took the Shuntian Mansion almost bloodlessly, many people have changed their views. ”

"Like ......?"

When Wu Zheng first faced Zhao Chengjun, who took the initiative to surrender, he was suspicious. It is suspected that he was just appointed by King Song to deliberately disclose Liu Shiqing's news to himself, so that the two families could fight to the death, and then King Song would sit back and reap the benefits.

Otherwise, why would there be no more silence after only revealing the news of the ambush in the Black Pine Valley, and then passing on the relationship between the various forces in the Central Plains and the four major vassal kings of the Black Liao Kingdom through Liu Ruyan?

"For example, below. To tell the truth, the initial move of taking the initiative to surrender to King Xiaoyao in Xiaoyi County was half out of sincerity and half out of passivity. Presumably, not to mention it, the King of Freedom must also want to get the key to it. Now that the situation has changed, Zhao Chengjun sincerely hopes to serve the King of Freedom. ”

Looking at Zhao Chengjun who was bowing in front of him, Wu Zheng still didn't express his position immediately. Instead, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Does General Zhao know why the soldiers and horses of Youzhou suddenly withdrew their troops from Shuntian Mansion?"

"There are two reasons for the King of Enlightenment. The first is that the military salary promised by the Song King to the soldiers and horses in Youzhou has not been fulfilled as scheduled, and the second is that a large number of martial arts people have suddenly appeared in Youzhou, so they are worried that if they do not withdraw their troops in time, they will lose their foothold. Therefore, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou hurriedly retreated. ”

"Oh, does Zhao Jianjun know where those martial arts people who appeared in Youzhou came from?"

"The last general hurriedly came to meet the King of Freedom because of the matter of Youzhou. I just got the news that the martial arts people who appeared in Youzhou were from the Taihang faction and the Yandang Mountain Martial Arts Alliance. The people at the head are Xiao Ying, the leader of the Young League, and Zhai Suli, the acting head of the Taihang faction. ”

After listening to Zhao Chengjun's words, Wu Zheng didn't speak for a long time.

Since Taibai Peak said goodbye, his father Xiao Ying and grandfather Xiao Pengju have not seen each other since they returned to Yandang. Moreover, although his father Xiao Ying promised to be responsible for the liaison between the capital, Linshan, and Yandang at that time, Wu Zheng never received any news from his father Xiao Ying. Suddenly hearing Zhao Chengjun mention it, he realized that his father and grandfather had always been paying attention to his every move, otherwise it would never have been possible to send someone to disturb the nest of soldiers and horses in Youzhou so coincidentally.

As for Zhai Suli, the Taihang faction was not far from Youzhou, and he had made a relationship with him, so he would naturally rush to assist his father Xiao Ying in time.

"King Xiaoyao, the most important thing is that the officers and soldiers of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion did not give up to King Song. Otherwise, they would not have hastily withdrawn their troops because there were only hundreds of martial arts people and unpaid military salaries, and they could have divided their troops and went back. ”

"How?"

"King Song is mean and brutal by nature, which most people who have been in contact with for a long time understand. Now that the officers and men of the Jiedu Mansion in Youzhou, especially Guan Xiangying, the envoy of Jiedu, are in the stage of hesitation, how can they fight to the death for the Song King and the officers and men of the Bingzhou Mansion? To put it bluntly, the two reasons for the hasty withdrawal of troops are just excuses. ”

"In your opinion?"

"If there is nothing important at the moment, it is best to go to Youzhou in person. From the point of view of the last general, the forces that Guan Xiangying likes are none other than King Xiaoyao and Emperor Gu Shu. ”

Even if you are not optimistic about the King of Song, because of the special location of Youzhou and the large number of soldiers and horses, you can completely support the army and stand on your own. ”

"King Xiaoyao doesn't know that Guan Xiangying is not ambitious. On the contrary, Kwan Xiangying is cautious. The main purpose of sending troops to Shuntianfu this time was to get part of the military salary from the King of Song, so as to maintain the 60,000 soldiers under his command from rioting. Just from the fact that he only brought half of the army to reinforce Shuntianfu this time, we can see the clues. ”

"Are you saying that Guan Xiang only brought half of the men and horses with him when he sent Shuntianfu to the British soldiers?"

"It's true. ”

In this way, Zhao Chengjun's analysis is 80% certain. Guan Xiangying is indeed not dead set on following Song Wang Gu is.

60,000 soldiers and horses, and concentrated the most capable cavalry in the Central Plains. Youzhou is located at the junction of the Central Plains and the Xiongnu, which is too tempting. Wu Zheng was suddenly a little moved.

"If King Xiaoyao has the heart to go to Youzhou to subdue Guan Xiangying, he will be willing to be the forerunner. ”

"Oh, General Zhao is familiar with Guan Xiangying?"

"It's not a secret, the last general is not only familiar with Guan Xiangying, but our two families are also related. Guan Xiangying's wife is the eldest granddaughter of the last general's uncle's family, and the last general is Guan Xiangying's uncle. ”

"Is General Zhao ready for a complete showdown with King Song?"

To be honest, Wu Zheng didn't want Zhao Chengjun to withdraw from King Song's power group so early, otherwise it would be very difficult to get King Song's confidential information in the future.

"King Xiaoyao doesn't need to worry too much, King Song already has some doubts about the last general, and is arranging people to replace the last general. If you don't make a decision, with the temperament of the king of Song, the last general will die without a place to be buried. ”

Having said that, Wu Zheng has no reason to refuse Zhao Chengjun again, even if Zhao Chengjun is still a fake surrender, he can only agree first.

"Okay, then put aside what you're doing for the time being and go to Youzhou. ”

"Does King Xiaoyao know who King Song is arranging to replace the last general?"

"Who?"

"Willow is like smoke. ”

Wu Zheng looked at Zhao Chengjun in disbelief, but didn't say anything.

"Hehe, of course King Song's treachery will not be unaware of the relationship between Liu Ruyan and King Xiaoyao. The reason why he still has to do this is also because he has to suffer. It's just that the day when the final settlement between the last general and Liu Ruyan is completed, it is the time of the death of the two of us. (To be continued.) )
