Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 175 The master has set the ambition of Yunxiao ([-])

"How is Shuai Shao?" Zhu Mei asked from a distance, leading the horse among the dead trees and grass.

The two were far apart, and they both brought a brigade of personal soldiers, ready to fight.

Actually, according to Shao Shude's original intention, he wanted to have an interview with Zhu Mei.But at this point, many things cannot be controlled by yourself. No matter how arrogant you are, people around you will not agree with you to take risks lightly.No, the soldiers held a large shield in front, three horses were prepared behind, and there were dead soldiers on the left and right who were ready to intercept at any time.The battle was so big that this meeting almost became a joke, at least Shao Shude thought so.

"Shuai Zhu is still handsome, and I am very happy to see him. In the battle of the same state in the past, we fought side by side. Today, it is unwise to fight against each other. Zhu Shuai might as well stop fighting here and return to this town. There will be time in the future , Wouldn’t it be nice for us to meet up with wine and talk about old friendships?” Shao Shude said loudly.

"Why does Shao Shuai help Wang Chongrong's generation? The nine towns in the northwest of Beijing are supposed to unite and fight against foreign enemies. Why don't we go east together and break through the river and have a feast with wine?" Zhu Mei also said loudly. replied.

Because I received 30 hu of grain from him, people have to be creditable.

Shao Shude sighed, and said: "If Zhu Shuai only has these words, please go back. Tian Lingzi deceives the Holy One and isolates China and foreign countries. Doesn't Zhu Shuai not know? It is really unwise to be used by such people."

"I follow the imperial edict and have no involvement with others." Zhu Mei replied.

When I help Ximenshi become a lieutenant in the Shence Army, I will write to you as many imperial edicts as you want, will you accept them?
"It's useless to talk more if it's not speculative. Zhu Shuai might as well go back and prepare his troops, and I'll fight this battle later." Shao Shude said.

Zhu Mei was speechless.

He actually had a lot of things he wanted to say to Shao Shude, but judging by his heavily guarded appearance, it was probably impossible to talk about it.Why don't you send your confidants to the Dingnan military camp after you go back to see if you can persuade him to change his mind.There are tens of thousands of Dingnan troops to help, and there should be 7 or [-] combined troops in the four towns in the northwest of Beijing. Even if Li Ke from the east of the river uses it, there is no need to be afraid.

But if that doesn't make sense either, there's no way.Whether to fight or go, a decision must be made as soon as possible.

The meeting between the two broke up without any result.

On the same day, the Dingnan Army continued to invite the battle.The cavalry army sent people to Zhu and Li's camp to provoke everywhere and intercept and kill the messenger.The two couldn't bear it, and sent more than a thousand cavalry to fight, but they were immediately besieged by three thousand cavalry from the cavalry army and two thousand cavalry from the iron forest army, and they returned in defeat.

That night, Zhu Mei's envoy came to the camp again. It was a judge surnamed Li.

"Shao Shuai, my lord sent me here to stop the soldiers." Judge Li said as soon as he came up.

"Oh? But Zhu Shuai has come to his senses and wants to kill Tian Lingzi and his generation?" Shao Shude asked.

Shao Shude's words were blunt, but this judge Li didn't notice it, and continued: "Actually, why does Shao Shuai stand with Wang Chongrong? At this time, it is only necessary to turn against each other, and the emperor is happy, and it is not impossible to be crowned king." .”

"It's not my ambition to be crowned king." Shao Shude shook his head, and said: "A certain person has received the state's favor, and he can't see that the powerful eunuchs are causing trouble and fooling the saint. Now I just want to punish Tian Lingzi, so as to rectify the government. If Zhu Shuai can recognize Tian Lingzi's true face, he will be with a certain To kill them together is to be a fellow-dweller."

The messenger was speechless.He came to persuade Shao Shude to help them, but in the end, Marshal Shao actually wanted his lord to follow him into Chang'an to kill Tian Lingzi, but thinking about it carefully, it seems - it is not impossible!

"Judge Li, why don't you go back and tell Zhu Shuai that if you go back and kill Tian Lingzi together, you won't lose the court's reward. If you continue to be obsessed with it, I will attack the camp with your army. There is an army of [-], so don't make mistakes." Shao Shude said.

Judge Li thought about it carefully.Shao Shude's mind should not be changed, Tian Lingzi must be killed.With such a clear attitude, they have only two options, either to fight the Dingnan army, win everything, lose their lives, or simply lure the Dingnan army into Chang'an, and kill Tian Lingzi together.

There are many fake sons in this life, more than a hundred of them, which one is not a wealthy generation?Not to mention Tian Lingzi himself, food and clothing are better than saints, and it is said that he brought back hundreds of carts of treasures from the middle of Sichuan. If he kills him, the goods are all his own?
How to choose is actually not difficult.

"The nine towns in the northwest of Beijing should be of the same spirit, don't be insulted by outsiders." Shao Shude finally said.

Judge Li stood up, cupped his hands, and left.

"Commander, why did you let Zhu Mei go?" After the envoy left, Chen Cheng stepped forward and asked.

"I thought about it for a while. Li Keyong's so-called '15 troops' is false, but there should be 5." Shao Shude paced up and down in the tent again, saying: "Kill Tian Lingzi, and let the court It is not a broken promise to appease Wang Chongrong. After accepting the benefits of others, it is natural to help him solve the problem. What Wang Chongrong asks is to continue to hold the festival. , there is only one town in Hedong, and I wait for more than [-] people in the four towns in the northwest of Beijing, and the strength is not bad. Let the court make an order to give Li Ke a step, and it is not very interesting for him to come again. Of course, if Come, don’t be afraid, so what if the first battle? It will also let the towns of Fengxiang and Binning see the majesty of our Dingnan army.”

"Then Zhu Mei..." Chen Cheng frowned.

"Let's let him go for now." Shao Shude sighed, and said, "If the Ximen clan controls the Shence Army and controls the center, there will be a chance to punish this generation in the future."

Chen Cheng always felt a little unattractive.If you can defeat the three towns of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Binning, capture and kill Zhu Mei and others, then control Chang'an, and finally force Li Keyong to retreat, then it would be perfect.It's just that he also knows that you have to plan for the worst in everything, how can all the good things in the world fall on you?Then others don't have to fight, just disarm and surrender.

Li Keyong, it's really annoying, why do you want to get involved in everything!
******
"The matter has come to this, Li Shuai should think about it for himself." In the camp, Zhu Mei went to Li Changfu's tent and advised him to go back to Chang'an and kill Tian Lingzi.

But Li Changfu obviously has his own ideas.Fengxiang Town, governs one prefecture, two prefectures and twenty counties, and there are also a large number of Tibetan tribes. Before the Huangchao Rebellion, it was the first in the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing. Because Fengxiang Mansion is relatively rich, has a large number of household registrations, and has strong economic strength.

In the previous battle to encircle and suppress Huangchao, Zheng Tian rewarded the troops with the Fengxiang treasury, and supported [-] soldiers and horses in the four towns with the land of one prefecture and two prefectures. He persisted for a long time before the goods from Shu land arrived.In fact, even if Sanchuan's money and food arrived, the Fengxiang Mansion would still get a large part of it, which shows the wealth of the family.

Sitting in such a strong town, it is impossible to say that there is no idea.

This time the troops were dispatched to challenge Wang Chongrong, of course there was an imperial edict involved, but if you say that the three Marshals are not careful, that is not necessarily the case.

Jingyuan Cheng Zongchu may not have thought too much, but just wanted the court to add an honorary title to himself, that's all.He is not very clear about Zhu Mei, but he feels that this person is loyal and ambitious, which is very complicated.

As for Li Changfu himself, he had many ideas.If the crusade against Wang Chongrong by the imperial edict is successful, the momentum in Guanzhong will be greatly enhanced, and then the government will be able to control the government, win over generals from other towns, annex states and counties, and expand their strength.

Shao Shude's Dingnan Army annexed Shuofang, although they used Li Shao as a front, but who doesn't know who?When you Shao Shude started your business, your capital was not as strong as that of Fengxiang Town. Now that you can have this situation, can you do it yourself?Do it even better?

Therefore, Li Changfu really has a lot of ideas.And he doesn't think there's anything wrong with his thinking. It's not normal for a martial artist of this age to have no thoughts in his mind. He wants to annex Shannan West Road, Jingyuan Town, Binning Town, and become one of the best in the world. Strong Fan.

Sitting in twenty counties of Fengxiang, if you don't fight, you are really a man in vain!
"Shuai Zhu, this is the end of the matter, so let's just say something straight." After thinking for a while, Li Changfu said: "If you go back to Master Chang'an at this time, you will definitely be dominated by Shao Shude. Even if you kill Tian Lingzi, the great contribution If you don't wait for me, what benefits can you get? Zhu Shuai brought thousands of soldiers from thousands of miles away, so he can't make a trip in vain, right? Maybe the soldiers can get some goods, but you and I still value those things? How about Let's move forward and defeat Shao Shude. Even if we can't completely wipe him out, we can make him follow us. Then we can fight eastward against Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong, or return to Chang'an, no problem."

When Zhu Mei heard this, she was also a little shaken.

He is also a warrior and has ambitions.He was intimidated by the might of Shao Shude's [-] troops before, and it was not good to send cavalry to fight a few days ago, so he lost confidence.Hearing what Li Changfu said at this time, it seemed that it was not the case not to fight.

But he was still a little worried.The Dingnan army fought very well in Guanzhong to fight against Huangchao, their combat strength should not be weak, and their strength is twice theirs, so the chances of winning this battle are not high.

What a dilemma!

The warrior's ambition and the fear of the Dingnan army repeatedly saw and saw in his heart, he hesitated, frowned for a while, unfolded for a while, stood up for a while, and sat down for a while, extremely irritable.

If someone Shao was here, he would probably be amazed at the ambition and greed of the Wufu at the end of Tang Dynasty.It's this time, but I still can't let go and want to give it a go.Compared with them, my martial artist should not be pure enough, more like a politician-type warlord.They are the "characteristics of the times" of the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

"Shuai Zhu, why do you have to make trouble?" Li Changfu watched coldly from the sidelines, knowing that Zhu Mei was hesitating, he added fuel to the fire, and said, "When the Dingnan army is defeated, I will let you be the prime minister. This Guanzhong has one government, two states and three states. Aren't the ten counties all in my pocket? At that time, if you want to raise one hundred thousand troops, you can still be afraid of Shao Shude and Li Keyong?"

"As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if we can win at this time, Shao Shude will be defeated and return to Xiazhou, Li Keyong will retreat to Hedong, Guanzhong will be our world, and we can follow the story of Cao Cao." Li Changfu further tempted: "At that time Wouldn’t it be nice for you to be a grand master and a certain captain to be in charge of the government together? As for Cheng Zongchu, he can also be rewarded with a Sikong, which is enough to satisfy him.”

Zhu Mei glanced at him.Cao Cao story?Could it be the matter of Li Jue and Guo Si?
But he also faintly agrees in his heart, perhaps it is time to fight a battle, otherwise how can he be reconciled?

However, cooperating with Li Changhe is decentralization, but cooperating with Shao Shude is not the same?Is there a difference?Shao Shude's army was strong, so he would definitely not be able to take the leading position, but Li Changfu, relying on Fengxiang's wealth, also faintly despised himself.

This matter, you should think about it carefully, what should you do?
