General Shu knelt for a long time and did not speak.

Gonggong Li waited for a moment, looked down at him, and said sharply, "You still don't get the order?"

General Shu slowly stood up and said, "Please also ask my father-in-law to learn clearly, now that the three-legged position is strong, it is not the best policy to send troops easily." Our army can wipe out the rebels without much effort, and sending troops at this moment will only make the previous efforts completely undone. It's really unwise to send troops!"

Gonggong Li patted the arm of the chair and shouted: "Bold, you dare to say that the long live lord is unwise? If you immediately send troops to rehabilitate, the miscellaneous family should have never heard this sentence." If you dare to disrespect ......"

General Shu said in a deep voice: "The generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to them. Gonggong Li, I will personally write to Your Majesty to explain the reason why I will not be able to fight. As for what happens after that, there is no need for Gonggong Li to care. ”

Gonggong Li was so angry that he trembled, pointed at General Shu, and was speechless. But General Shu ignored this father-in-law, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Lei Tianluo was shocked, judging from the observation all along, no matter how well General Shu said it, he was just a turtle with a shrunken head. He never imagined that he would be so stubborn when it comes to fighting. But then again, according to General Shu's strategy, it is indeed the best policy.

Out of the main hall, glancing at the sloppy Taoist, Lei Tianluo said in a low voice: "Brother......"

The sloppy Taoist sighed and said, "It seems that the big tree of General Shu is not very reliable. Brother Lei, that's what you think, right?"

Lei Tianluo hurriedly said: "Brother, in front of the public, these words can't be easily spoken. If General Shu hears about it, you don't want to stay in the General's Mansion anymore. ”

The sloppy Taoist leaned next to Lei Tianluo and said, "Brother, don't pretend, right?" Presumably you have already seen that General Shu is at odds with the imperial court, and Shu Xujie has the same heart as his father, so he held the second young master Shu Zhitang in his hand early. The elder brother is really far-sighted, not long after coming to the General's Mansion, he can think of this step, and the elder brother really admires it. ”

Lei Tianluo laughed dryly and didn't say anything.

The sloppy Taoist said again: "Don't hide it, brother, my brother eats meat, don't you even leave a mouthful of soup for my brother?"

Lei Tianluo's evaluation of the sloppy Taoist in his heart suddenly dropped by an unknown notch. This guy who sees the wind makes the rudder change so fast. But after thinking about it, Lei Tianluo pushed the boat along the way and said, "Brother, are you really willing to stand aside with me?"

The sloppy Taoist laughed a few times: "Seeing that the tree is about to fall, and still staying under the tree, isn't that a fool's business?"

Lei Tianluo asked the sloppy Taoist to come over and whispered: "This time, it's not me who eats meat and drinks soup, but my brother who eats meat and I drink soup." ”

The sloppy Taoist wondered, "Oh, how do you say that?"

Lei Tianluo said: "Tell me, is the General's Mansion powerful, or is the castrated Gonggong Li powerful?"

The sloppy Taoist said as a matter of course: "Of course, it is the red man around the emperor, and Gonggong Li is more powerful." ”

Lei Tianluo said: "General Shu has offended Gonggong Li, doesn't Gonggong Li want to get rid of General Shu? I will help Shu Zhitang to ascend to the throne, and you can take the head of General Shu as a vote, and you will be able to take the line of Gonggong Li." In this way, my brother will talk about it, who eats meat and who drinks soup?"

The sloppy Taoist looked puzzled: "Why doesn't my brother ...... it himself?"

Lei Tianluo patted his legs and said, "I have difficulty moving, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to go to the feet of the Son of Heaven." I just want to stay in the poor countryside, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and be a squire. Brother, why don't you find an opportunity to probe Gonggong Li's tone first, and see if he has the meaning of replacing the general's mansion in addition to this open word. ”

After breaking up with the sloppy Taoist, Lei Tianluo went straight back to the secluded courtyard. summoned Shu Zhitang and said, "Your Shu family may have a big crisis." ”

Shu Zhitang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lei Tianluo explained the situation of Fang Cai, and finally concluded: "No matter what happens in the end of this battle, your father will retire from the position of general." It's okay to win, maybe you will have an idle post in the military department, if you lose, I'm afraid your Shu family will have all your heads on the ground. ”

Shu Zhitang thought for a while, and then said: "It is indeed unwise to send troops now. But the imperial court pressed down and forcibly sent troops, and it was impossible to know the victory or defeat. If Khayasha and Sun Wei join forces, it will be difficult for us to win. ”

Lei Tianluo looked straight at Shu Zhitang's eyes and said, "Do you want the Shu family to win?" If you win, your father will still have to abdicate, and you will be able to take over as a general. It's always been your dream. ”

Shu Zhitang sighed in his heart, and immediately said: "Master, I have expressed my stance with Uncle Fu Yuan many times, and I am no longer interested in the position of general. What I want to do is to practice well. Otherwise, you will really live up to Master's cultivation. ”

"So you don't care about winning or losing this battle at all, and you don't care about the survival of the Shu family?"

Shu Zhitang nodded and said, "These things are nothing to care about. But ......," Shu Zhitang paused, and said, "The general is my father after all, and I don't want his head to fall to the ground." ”

Lei Tianluo took out a fake death pill and put it on the table, and said, "This is a fake death pill, you should have seen the Ye shopkeeper lying in the corner, he just ate this thing." Now he is no different from a dead man, but in a few days, he will be alive. ”

"What does Master mean?"

"Gonggong Li has already murdered your father, if you want your father to be safe and sound, then let him take this pill, and then send it to a place, incognito, and never appear again. ”

Shu Zhitang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my father won't eat this." Master, I vaguely feel ...... You seem to ...... about this"

Lei Tianluo sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you, the real purpose of my coming here is to borrow grain from the Great Zhou Dynasty and provide disaster relief to the west." ”

Shu Zhitang was stunned for a moment: "Disaster relief, Master, where is there so much food in the General's Mansion for disaster relief?"

Lei Tianluo said: "There is no general's mansion, but there is one in Lin'an City, the granary of the world." As long as the fight starts here, the grain and grass will come back in a steady stream. ”

Shu Zhitang suddenly realized, and immediately shook his head and said, "Master, I'm afraid that this grain and grass will not be robbed." ”

After saying this, Shu Zhitang found that Lei Tian was looking at him steadily. He finally reacted to what Lei Tianluo said at the beginning. When the grain and grass arrive at the General's Mansion, if you are a general, it is indeed easy to release things out for disaster relief. But in this way, the rebel forces will expand, and Daxing City will inevitably be unprotected. The General's Mansion is also about to fall.

Lei Tianluo was silent for a while, and said, "You think about it yourself." ”

Shu Zhitang was silent for a while, and finally held the pill in the palm of his hand, and said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more decaying, in fact, our Shu family has done enough things for the emperor. In the end, it is not an exaggeration to take some grain and grass from the Great Zhou Dynasty in exchange for me to go to the Quanqing Taoist Temple. ”
