Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 262 One Month
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Jiang Ziya, the Xiqi army went all the way like a broken bamboo, broke through Mianchi, crossed the Yellow River, flattened Mengjin, and approached Chaoge City, causing turmoil in the dynasty.Because Deng Jiugong was in the middle of the court, Jiang Ziya did not dare to act rashly.

On the other side, Chongyingluan raised 30 soldiers, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chaoge, making Chengtang's already dire situation even worse.For a time, Chaoge, the most prosperous capital, was shrouded in gloom.

Faced with the collapse of the building, King Zhou was so enraged that he fainted. Instigated by Lu Renjie, Deng Jiugong was released from military power and placed under house arrest in the mansion.When Deng Jiugong was not in the court, Lu Renjie was promoted to the rank of Marshal of the Army and Horses. The first thing he did was not to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy. .

"Master Zhang, why did you come to see me today?"

Deng Jiugong said with a smile on his face, he didn't feel unwilling and decadent after being dismissed at all, which surprised Zhang Qian very much.Zhang Qian cupped his hands and said, "King Pingnan, now Chengtang is in danger, please come back and save Chengtang Jiangshan."

As a brave general, Lu Renjie has mediocre abilities. It is wishful thinking to expect him to repel two powerful enemies.

Deng Jiugong said: "Master Zhang, please relax. Chengtang has been rotten to the root after more than ten years of perverse actions by King Zhou. The previous ten years of peace are just a flashback. Do you think there is still hope?"

If it wasn't for Deng Jiugong's intentional cooperation, Lu Renjie's methods would not be able to bring him down.Although Lei Fu is at home, the general situation of the world is completely under his control.

Zhang Qian was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Does Your Majesty also think that this country is hopeless?"

Deng Jiugong said: "Destroy and then build, this is the general trend, an irresistible general trend. Mr. Zhang is kind to me, I advise you, don't fight against Lu Renjie, otherwise it will be bad for you."

Zhang Qian sighed and couldn't help being disappointed: "Since Your Majesty mistrusts Lu Renjie, it's worth noting that the position of prime minister is not good. I will resign tomorrow and return home."

Deng Jiugong said: "At this time, the court is in the vortex of power, and leaving is the best way to protect yourself."

Zhang Qian glanced at him and offered to leave.

……

In the Lu Mansion, Li Qi and Ma Shan were sitting in the lobby drinking tea. After a while, Lu Renjie walked in, and the two quickly got up and greeted each other: "The last general has seen the Generalissimo."

Lu Renjie smiled and said, "The two generals are exempt."

After Deng Jiugong was placed under house arrest, Lu Renjie poached Deng Jiugong's corner while consolidating his power.After a lot of coercion and temptation, Li Qi and Ma Shan tactfully turned to Lu Renjie, Zhang Kui and Gao Jineng were already tempted, and I believe that they will become his loyal subordinates in a short time.

Ma Shandao: "Commander, Jiang Ziya has been stationed outside the city for five or six days. He has never dared to attack the city. He is obviously intimidated by the commander's prestige. According to the general, if he leads an army and horses to take the opportunity to attack the camp, he will be able to attack the city." Jiang Ziya was caught off guard."

Li Qi echoed: "The last general thinks what General Ma said is reasonable, so please send troops."

Lu Renjie said: "The two generals are not in a hurry. There are still many people in the court who disobey me. If they are not wiped out, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. Besides, Zhang Kui has not yet joined me, and the time to send troops is not yet." arrive."

Ma Shan said: "Marshal, don't worry, Zhang Kui is loyal to the imperial court. Now that your lord is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, it's time for us to show off our generals. How can he refuse the commander's kindness?"

"These words sound good. Deng Jiugong, what are you doing these days?"

Lu Renjie suddenly thought of Deng Jiugong. This man was well-known in the army, and he was afraid that he would not be reconciled if he lost power all at once.He was worried about what small tricks Deng Jiugong was doing in private.

Ma Shan said disdainfully: "What can I do, just hide at home and read books honestly every day. Without power, this person is just a toothless tiger. The commander-in-chief doesn't have to worry."

A flash of complacency flashed in Lu Renjie's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Back then, I went to Deng's mansion to give gifts, but was rejected by Deng Jiugong again and again. When I mentioned him, I gritted my teeth. When the crisis of Chaoge is resolved, we will Slowly clean him up!"

Li Qidao: "Why do you need the commander to do anything, just a word from you, and the general will guarantee that he will not be able to survive or die."

Lu Renjie nodded, and said again: "How is the situation of the two princes outside the city recently?"

For these two talents who were proficient in magic, Lu Renjie had a lot of trust in them, and even entrusted them with the task of monitoring the enemy's situation.

Ma Shan replied: "The princes of the two groups seem to be in harmony with each other, and they are suspicious of each other. Jiang Ziya is counting on Chongjun to attack Chaoge, and Chongyingluan is counting on Jiang Ziya to attack Chaoge. Both sides want to benefit from the fisherman."

"Okay, that's it. Chaoge can be as stable as Mount Tai. Ma Shan, you find an opportunity to provoke a war between the two families, so that I can reap the benefits of the fisherman." Lu Renjie was in a good mood when he heard that, For a long time, he was crushed to death by Deng Jiugong in the court. When Deng Jiugong was away, he was squeezed out by Zhang Qian again.

Ma Shan looked distressed, and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. The last general went to investigate. The two camps are heavily guarded. Unless you lead a large army to attack at night under the banner of Chongbing, it will be difficult to fish in troubled waters. "

Lu Renjie was a little disappointed and said: "Since this plan is not feasible, let's stand still for the time being."

……

"Hmph, this old man is cautious. It seems that Zhang Kui should come here early, otherwise it will be difficult for him to make a decision." As soon as the two left the house, Ma Shan's face suddenly changed into a look of disgust.

Li Qidao: "This person is greedy for life and afraid of death in his bones. Unless he is absolutely sure, it may be difficult for him to send troops to fight the Xiqi army to the death."

Ma Shan sighed: "Your Majesty asked us to take refuge with Lu Renjie, make false claims with him, and try every means to help him make up his mind. It's just that this old man is obsessed with fighting for power all day long, and turns a blind eye to the two armies outside Chaoge City. It's really hateful."

In order to become famous as a teacher, Deng Jiugong made some secret arrangements, which finally aroused the suspicion of King Zhou, deprived him of his military power, and pinned all his hopes on Lu Renjie.Deng Jiugong successfully changed from a pillar of the country to a demoted minister, which is more beneficial for him to carry out his plan to win the world
Li Qidao: "Those who are ministers serve the Lord. Since the king has entrusted us with important tasks, no matter what, we must complete the task."

"I don't know, let's wait for a few days. If the old man refuses to cooperate, let's kill him first. There are many generals in the court, and there will always be one who is willing to cooperate with us."

A stern look flashed across Ma Shan's face. He was impatient. If Deng Jiugong hadn't repeatedly confessed, he would have killed Lu Renjie directly.For him, every time he said something against his will in front of Lu Renjie, he was so disgusted that he wanted to throw up.

Li Qi instructed: "Be careful and mess up your Majesty's plan. Even if you and I die, we can't afford this responsibility." Now Lu Yue's attitude towards him is more than ten times better than before. From his point of view, all this is because of Deng Jiugong, and he doesn't want to do something that disappoints Deng Jiugong.

Ma Shandao: "Don't worry, I have my own measure. The king gave us the power to act cheaply. We can't be too careful when we do things. We must take risks when we have to take risks."

Li Qi nodded irrefutably.
