Chapter 731 Whose Chance

Chapter 731 Whose Chance
Twelfth lunar month twenty.

At dawn, Mr. Lushu walked into the lobby of Zhang's house in Hanzhong, and saw that Zhang Hongdao had gotten up early and was taking care of his beautiful mustache.

"Wulang, the little old man has placed Wang Xiao in the post house in the north of the city, and the Public Opinion Department has arranged people around him."

"It's New Year's Eve, come here to spoil my mood." Zhang Hongdao said without raising his head, "Let's write a greeting card and invite him to drink."

There are servants who run errands to do this.

Lu Shu Lao is an aide and a think tank.

He waved away the others, sat down beside him, and asked, "Wu Lang, have you ever thought about why the county king asked Wu Lang to entertain Wang Xiao?"

"It can't be to make me vent my anger, right?" Zhang Hongdao asked with a smile.

After that, his expression became serious, and he said, "I'm thinking about this too. The county king wants to give Wang Luo a chance to take the initiative. Or do you still not trust Wang Luo? Let me find out."

"Li Fen has been preparing for many years, and he is bound to reverse it." Lu Shu said: "But the position of the Wang family and his son is really strange."

"There are too many things I can't figure out." Zhang Hongdao rubbed his forehead, and said: "Wang Wentong has blatantly helped Li Fen to plot rebellion for many years, and Kublai Khan can still use it. But I did a little thing, but Kublai Khan has already done it." Order Kuro to kill me."

"Maybe Kublai Khan didn't trust Wang Wentong, so Wang Wentong still decided to rebel." Lu Shu said: "Wang Wentong's presidency of Zhongshu Province is either very favorable. Or..."

"Either Kublai Khan has been on guard against them, and everything they do is seen by Kublai Khan." Zhang Hongdao sneered again in a low voice.

"Mortal wisdom."

"Exactly." Lushu Laoshu wanted to list these possibilities clearly for Zhang Hongdao.

"I'll find out when I talk to Wang Luo..."

~~
Chengbei post house.

A few dishes and two jugs of fine wine were placed on the table.

The sitting postures of the two people sitting opposite each other are quite different.

Wang Luo stepped on the wine jar, laughing from time to time, looking very unrestrained and relaxed.

But he leaned forward, looking straight at Zhang Hongdao who was across from the table.

Zhang Hongdao didn't smile, his face was a little flat, and his body was slightly leaned back.

"Have you been five years?" Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Back then, Wu Lang had worked so hard to capture King Li. Looking at it now, it turned out that he was looking for a brother-in-law, hahaha..."

"Looking back, it turns out that your father made suggestions for Li Fen back then, so that he could rise to the top and be reused by Kublai Khan?"

At this point Zhang Hongdao raised his wine glass, and said, "The son of the Minister of Zhongshu... should be called Wang Ya Nei, come, have a toast to Wang Ya Nei."

"My father is here to protect everyone!"

Wang Luo suddenly shouted, looking very excited, and said: "Wu Lang always blames my father for telling everything in front of Kublai Khan. But think about it, did Kublai Khan punish anyone for this? Isn't it because of my father? His frankness dispelled the original suspicion."

Zhang Hongdao shook his head and said: "It's like this again for Muqiao. Whenever there is a result, he will take credit for himself. I don't know?"

Wang Luo leaned his head forward again, and said, "Wu Lang really understands me, so he should know my intention of treason, and the sun can learn from it."

He thought what he said was quite funny, and his big mouth grinned again.

Zhang Hongdao had no choice but to lean back a little more, and asked, "With your father's authority today, are you willing to betray Kublai Khan?"

Wang Luo first confidently threw out a title.

"King Qi..."

Zhang Hongdao understood that this was referring to Li Fen.

In the past, Li Quan wanted Song Ting to make him king of Qi.Now, Li Fen must want the title of King of Qi.

"King Qi is my brother-in-law." Wang Luo smiled and said, "He is also my father's son-in-law. How could Kublai Khan really trust my father? Of course, according to Qi Lu's actions, King Qi was restored as the lord of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and my father succeeded Xuanling minister."

"Minister of Xuanling? Do you think Li Fen is Tang Taizong, and you also regard yourself as the founder of the country, Fang Xuanling?"

Wang Hao spread his hands and said, "Otherwise?"

Zhang Hongdao smiled disdainfully.

Although he didn't say it, the meaning in his smile was obvious - Li Fen was not worthy.

"What?" Wang Luo asked, "Does Wu Lang think that your brother-in-law is stronger than mine?"

"I don't know who named this 'King of Qi'? Is it the Song Dynasty or Mongolia? It can't be self-appointed, right?"

"As long as there is strength, even if it is self-proclaimed, it can be recognized by Mongolia and Song."

Zhang Hongdao asked: "Li Fen only wants to be the king of Qi?"

"You might as well tell Wulang the truth." Wang Luo said, "Now that Kublai Khan is marching north, my father can respond in Yanjing, and cooperate with King Qi both inside and outside, and win the world in one fell swoop."

"I might as well tell you the truth, Kublai Khan has ordered Zhang, Shi, Yan and other princes to guard against Shandong."

Wang Luo smiled and asked: "If my father responds in Yanjing, and Shi Tianze raises troops in Kaifeng?"

"Shi Tianze?" Zhang Hongdao put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were deep in thought, "Is it reliable?"

"It's reliable, he has already agreed." Wang Luo said: "At this moment, the Han people can join hands to retake the Central Plains!"

His eyes became brighter, and he continued to persuade.

"King Qi, King Li, and Shi Tianze, as long as these three families join hands, no, there is also the Zhang family. Isn't it you Zhang Wulang in front of me? Presumably, when the time comes, as long as your father sees the momentum of my Han family man, he will definitely be willing to support him. That's it. Come on, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the Mongolian captives?"

Although Zhang Hongdao felt that Wang Xiao hated him, he also felt his enthusiasm.

And as Wang Luo said, if the people mentioned just now can join forces, Kublai Khan will have to go back to the grassland in despair.

"Shi Tianze can really..."

"This is exactly the ability of my father and son to fight side by side." Wang Luo said, "Wulang, think about it, how loyal you were to Mongolia when you and I first met? What happened in the end? You made an alliance with me. What about today? You have devoted yourself to King Lijun .My son of the Han family, working together to expel the captives is indeed the general trend!"

As Wang Luo spoke, he leaned forward more and more, and the man stood up from the chair.

But Zhang Hongdao wanted to avoid it again, but he could no longer lean back.

He could only listen to Wang Luo start talking again, frothing all over his mouth.

Like his father, Wang Hao is good at moving people with words, and he speaks these words impassionedly.

But Zhang Hongdao asked: "If according to what you said, once Yanjing is captured, will Li Fen be willing to serve as my king?"

"Goro, Goro, this has not happened yet, you are thinking about fighting for power, how can you achieve great things?"

"This is the key."

"King Qi will definitely enter Yanjing first, and then he will be the master of the world..."

In the middle of the conversation, Wang Luo saw the disapproving look in Zhang Hongdao's eyes, and said again: "The opportunity is rare, so it's better to focus on the overall situation first. How about we get together to discuss after the dust has been swept away?"

~~
"He said that Shi Tianze has already agreed to the incident?"

"Yes."

Li Xia thought for a while, then asked, "What do you think?"

He and Zhang Hongdao talked quite casually in private, and they didn't pay much attention to each other's names.

"In November last year, Shi Tianze made a great contribution in the battle of Ximu Tunaoer. Later, when Kublai Khan marched north, Shi Tianze stayed in the Central Plains." Zhang Hongdao pondered, "If it is said that he is proud of his victory and has a different heart again, it is not true. impossible."

"But can Shi Tianze regard Li Fen as his master?"

"Impossible." Zhang Hongdao did not hesitate, "There must be lies in Wang Luo's words, but I don't know how much exaggeration there is."

"What about the timing?" Li Xia asked: "Li Fen chose this time to start the incident, is it because he is sure that Kublai Khan is trapped in Hara and Lin?"

"According to what Wang Luo said, this is what Wang Wentong got. In addition, Li Yanjian, the son of Li Fen, was originally a hostage in Yanjing, but now he has escaped from Yanjing to Shandong. Li Fen has no choice but to launch."

"Is it because Li Yanjian found out that the timing is good, so he fled back to Shandong? Or was it because Li Yanjian fled back to Shandong, that's why Li Fen rebelled?"

"I don't know." Zhang Hongdao asked, "What are you going to do?"

"This will be a rare opportunity to weaken Kublai Khan again in a few years, and it must be grasped." Li Xia said: "But I always feel that something is wrong..."

~~
Baozhou.

During the New Year's Eve, the Zhang family's mansion in Baozhou is very lively.

The Zhang family is already thriving, and it will not appear deserted because of the departure of Zhang Wulang and the eldest sister.

But after the cousins ​​gathered in the lobby that day, Zhang Hongfan looked around and frowned.

He turned around and walked to the backyard, searched for a while, and finally found Zhang Wenwan who was taking the pony for a walk.

"Second sister, why don't you go to the hall?" Zhang Hongfan said with a smile.

Zhang Wenwan glanced at him and ignored him.

"What? Are you angry with Brother Jiu?"

Zhang Wenwan glared at Zhang Hongfan suddenly, and said, "Did Fifth Brother leave because of me, or because of you? Tell me!"

"Huh? He wants to go. It has nothing to do with you or me."

"Hmph. I thought it was me who said to my fifth brother, 'Ninth brother treats me better, and fifth brother manages too much', which made him angry. But the tenth brother told me that it was the ninth brother who handed over Bozhou. Going back to the court and resigning from office, this made fifth brother angry, and I will ignore you from now on."

After Zhang Wenwan finished speaking, she pulled her horse over and walked straight away.

It's calm now, but no one knows how sad and guilty she was when Zhang Hongdao just left.

Recently, I found out that these are all Brother Nine's fault, so I couldn't help being angry.

Zhang Hongfan lowered his head and smiled wryly for a while, then suddenly shouted at Zhang Wenwan's back: "After the new year, your ninth brother will be recruited, are you really going to sulk?"

Zhang Wenwan turned her head and said, "Conscripted again? Didn't you get dismissed?"

"Recovery, in case I die on the battlefield, I don't want my second sister to sulk at me in this last New Year's Eve."

"Bah, bah, don't say such bad words."

Zhang Hongfan smiled.

It was nothing more than an excuse to scare my sister.

What is the danger of enlisting Li Fen from Shandong?
It is also thanks to Li Fen that after Zhang Wulang's defection, he can have another chance to be reused...

~~
Outside Yanjing City.

In the snowstorm, a group of cavalry came from the north.

There were also cavalry in Yanjing City to greet them, and when the generals from both sides met, there were laughter and Mongolian words.

"Haha, my Chibi He'an is back, it's a damn snowy day, let's go to town and drink a bowl of milk tea."

"I heard that a little mouse escaped from Yanjing?"

"Haha, this time is also an opportunity to let Da Khan know that he should dismiss those Han people from their military power..."
