Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1303
Even though that Zhao Sheng was just a humble eunuch, he was introduced by Shi Xuan as his confidant because of his cunning, resourcefulness and gentleness.

However, all the sons of the Shi family are perverted and violent, and what they do is absolutely unreasonable.For example, in front of him, Zhao Sheng never dreamed that because of his status as an eunuch, he would be stripped of his clothes in full view and allowed to be played by others.

The eunuch's body was originally broken and he had a low self-esteem. Now this shortcoming is exposed for people to appreciate, which made Zhao Sheng even more ashamed and angry.He curled up desperately and bent his body, his skin was indeed fatter and fairer than ordinary people, and his skin was dyed a layer of deep red due to shame and anger, which fell into the eyes of others, and the laughter inevitably became louder.

Shi Tao was also very playful, and swiped the scabbard in his hand on the eunuch's back muscles. Seeing the redness and swelling of the eunuch's skin visible to the naked eye, he couldn't help being amazed. After a while, he put away his playfulness and returned to the table. Sitting in the middle, pointing at Zhao Sheng who was still bent into a ball, he sneered and said: "My brother, I hope that I have the heart to die. He said that brotherly love is deep and loves me. If you eunuch dare to act like this again Say, I will cut you off immediately! Why did he send you to call me, why didn't he come quickly?"

That Mr. Zhao was full of resentment and shame at the moment, and tears were streaming down his face, he was so choked up that he couldn't even speak, his posture was disgusting.It wasn't until the warrior who had stripped his clothes before stepped forward and kicked him hard a few times, that the crying gradually stopped, but he remained silent, just kowtowing and begging for mercy, which showed that his thoughts were completely disordered and he didn't dare to speak out in a hurry.

Although the eunuch didn't answer, Shi Tao still said to himself: "Shen Weizhou, the southern prisoner, what kind of person, he was able to compete with the Lord in dividing water in the past, the river defense he set up, is it my stupid pig like me?" Brother can kick it away with one kick? What a great achievement you have in your hands, what a joke! If it’s so easy to overwhelm, why does the Lord come later in person and call me from the middle of the country to fight?”

Speaking of this, he stroked his short beard under his chin and said with self-pity: "I have never seen Shen Weizhou's posture in person. But I often hear people say that he shows off the southern land, and he has an extraordinary style. He has seen all over Hebei. I am the only one who can tell the difference. What I heard is false after all. I don’t know if Shen Weizhou will come in person this time. He is a southern hero with the ability to defeat the Lord. I don’t expect to take away his glory, but I can make him Knowing that there is no one in Hebei, this trip is worthwhile."

Now that the forces in the north and the south have been reversed, when Jie Guo talks about the people in the south, he no longer dares to underestimate the people in the south as before, especially for the power minister of the southern country who has repeatedly defeated them.Because when they heard what Shi Tao said, they all echoed him, saying that His Majesty's demeanor and determination to chase after him is already considered a very high praise.

"Still don't underestimate heroes. Although General Shen and I both came from border barbarians who didn't enter China, after all, I rely on my father's shadow, and I haven't boasted about the morals of the world yet, but he has been able to fight against the Lord. , I am still a little inferior to him after all, but I am better than him in my prime, after the Spring and Autumn period, I don't know who is better or worse."

To Shi Tao, such words are rare humility. In fact, in his eyes, the whole of Hebei, except for the master Shi Hu, such as the crown prince Shi Sui and elder brother Shi Xuan, are nothing more than stupid talents of the family and are not worth it. It should be mentioned that for Shen Weizhou, a southerner who was a young man in his country, he has a sense of recognition and admiration for his talent and achievements.

Not to mention the flattery and comparison between the master and the servant in the tent, the eunuch Zhao Sheng finally cleared his mind at the moment, although he hated Shi Tao and the generals in the tent very much in his heart, but at the moment he was a fish on the table. , but also did not dare to be strong, and continued to say in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty is truly wise, with a heavy responsibility and wisdom in mind, no wonder the Lord has given you a strong army..."

"Don't talk nonsense, what is the master's appointment, you, a lowly slave, can talk about it? How about Henan's secrets, tell me quickly, or I will knock you out of your mouth!"

Shi Tao snorted again, his tone softened a bit, it was also because the eunuch talked about his pride, the Lord cherished him because of his useful intelligence, unlike his brothers who were proud of their bravery.

Zhao Sheng was still naked at the moment, but he didn't dare to ask for anything to hide his shame, so he could only quickly say: "There are many Jin troops going west, and the air-raid shelter of the Fengfen Camp, and the Pingyuan Duke's army can enter by knocking at the pass. It is indeed true. However, there is a shortage of goods in the Jinkou camp, and there is no thick reserve, so the army will inevitably be in a hurry. The country's storage and use must be treated with respect to the Lord's army. When the heart of Henan..."

"The southerners are able to operate well, and they are indeed better than those in our country. The army has been traveling in the wild for a few days, and the income has been quite rich. It is a pity that the south is fighting, the boats are scarce, and there are no good cavalry to go south. It is inevitable that the deployment of troops will be slow. Several people around people also rushed to help..."

When Shi Tao heard this, his face showed a certain expression, and then he added cleverly: "The southerners, tigers and wolves are about to gather around the area, and your master attacked south without authorization. Because the harvest is not as expected, I am afraid that the Lord will ask me, because I want to ask me to go south to help, so as to reduce my own crimes?"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng showed a bit of panic on his face when his secrets were discovered, and then he quickly bowed his head and said: "Besides, my Highness really wants to make peace with the king. All the roads, apart from Mount Tai and Shen Mu, are all ordinary county soldiers and villages. If the great king's army enters the south, they will surely gallop unimpeded and collect the best of Henan's essence..."

"Taishan Shen Mu? I have heard of this name before. It is said that he is the elder brother of the great general Shen. He has tens of thousands of people and Chen Bing has been in the south for several years. He has not made any achievements in Hebei. It can be seen that it is nothing more than that." A mediocre choice, General Shen is just a man who favors selfishness and trusts the family, and he is a good match for my bad brother. They are two mediocre people, one south and one north, raising thieves for self-respect..."

Hearing this, Shi Tao interrupted again, with an expression full of disdain for his elder brother Shi Xuan and Shen Muju from the south.

Zhao Sheng's face was full of embarrassment, but he still bite the bullet and said: "In the past, due to the lack of military resources, my highness offended the king, and he often reported regret in his heart. But now the crown prince regards his highness as an enemy, and it is even more difficult for each other to coexist. His highness and the king are blood relatives. Thickness is far superior to the rest, now that he has the door of Henan in his hands, he also wants to share his great achievements with the king and present it to the Lord, all of them will be happy..."

"He's quite scheming. Since he intends to make peace with me, why doesn't he bring Nan people's supplies and present them to me? No matter how nicely he put it, he still wants to recruit me Nan to be his reinforcement? Even if I am Xiang Nan, What does it have to do with him because I took the resources from the Southerners? He wants to bribe me with other people’s wealth and ask me to help him win the storage position. This sincerity is really ridiculous!"

After Shi Tao heard the words, he laughed out loud, as if he had already expected it and was unmoved, but anyone could see that he was already greatly moved.After all, the southerners are far richer than those in Hebei, and even the stone tigers have to compare pennies and pennies. Even if they are vassals like them, the money and food they can squander in their hands is really limited.

Shi Tao directly pointed out that Shi Xuan wanted to seek the crown prince based on his achievements, but everyone in the tent was not surprised, as if what Shi Tao said was just a trivial matter, not a major matter of a country's succession to the country. It can be seen how the atmosphere of the department is.It has also become a consensus that Shi Sui's reserve position is on the verge of collapse.

When Shi Tao talked about this issue, he didn't have any special expression on his face. Although he is also Shi Hu's son and is very popular with his dear, he may not have the opportunity to fight for this position.But relatively speaking, he didn't feel any urgency about it, at least he wasn't as imminent as Shi Xuan was, if he didn't struggle to make progress, he would be killed by the prince Shi Xie.

So regarding this, Shi Tao was not lacking in open-mindedness, pointing at Zhao Sheng and scolding with a smile: "My elder brother, his intelligence is limited, the reason why he is determined to seize the throne cannot be done without the coercion of you eunuchs and scumbags, who want to be proud of the master. Not to mention that the master is in his prime and ambitious, and he is far from being old and faint. Even if he looks outside, there is still a great enemy in the south, and even the master is worried about this. Is it Nanxiu's opponent? At that time, we still have to rely on the strong support of the feudal clan..."

At this point, Shi Tao paused abruptly, then pointed to Zhao Sheng and said, "Since I led the army to the south, I didn't just wait and see. I had to go south to fight the bandits. But I am by no means your master. I don't care who wins and who loses with the prince, who lives and who dies, it's too far away. But if he wants me to go south to help, he only lends me the door. This is too little sincerity. You eunuch I can't make big decisions for him, it doesn't matter, remember my conditions, turn back and report to your lord carefully, if you miss one, don't even think about welcoming me across the river!"

Zhao Sheng also knew that the sons of the Shi family had perverted and weird personalities, and he couldn't be normal. He knew that this time would not go well, so after hearing the words, he could only kowtow and say yes.

After remembering Shi Tao's conditions, he was finally able to walk away on his knees. After leaving the big tent for a certain distance, he took off his entourage's clothes and put them on his body. The Xingguo Canal that came out went down the river and returned to Fufen.

After returning to Fufen, Zhao Sheng reciprocated Shi Tao's various conditions one by one.

These conditions, in the eyes of outsiders, are also ridiculous. For example, in a certain year and a certain month, Shi Xuan robbed Shi Tao of how much food and slaves, and at this moment he has to pay back doubled, and he has to show his arms to show his guilt. Classes, and how to distribute the looted goods among each other.Among them, the more important ones are how many warships to provide for him to carry supplies, and give half of Shi Tao's resources and so on.

"Zhuzi is greedy and despicable, it's really hateful! Am I fighting for my own wealth and future? It's so related to the fate of the country, and he wants to have a private dispute with me!"

Hearing Zhao Sheng relay Shi Tao's conditions, Shi Xuan couldn't help but curse.But his current situation is really not good. In addition to the Jin army navy on the upstream sliding platform getting more and more aggressively invading the 碻磝, the Jin army in the south has gradually approached here along the Jishui River.

And when he asked Hebei for help, besides Shi Tao's here, he also asked for help from various armies gathered in Pingyuan.But the generals from all walks of life refused to send troops because they dared not violate the Lord's order, but they all offered their own prices in private. They all thought that after Shi Xuan won the Suijinjin, he would definitely get a big profit, and at this time Extortionate profits.

In order to get rid of the isolated and helpless state as soon as possible, coupled with the fact that Shi Tao's Longxiang Army is indeed a powerful army, Shi Xuan has a strong desire to merge. After the person leads the river, we will discuss the details.

Zhao Sheng was not lacking in embarrassment and said: "Bo Hai Gong is too arrogant, and he will be troubled for a long time! This time, this servant was ordered by His Highness to go north, but he was so humiliated. Although the honor and disgrace of a lowly slave is not worth mentioning, he dared To humiliate an envoy like this, one can know how to underestimate His Highness..."

"Shut up, Diao Nu!"

Although Shi Xuan was not lacking in embarrassment, he still had some sense of shame about his family's ugliness, especially when he was looked down upon by his own brothers. , is also worthy to represent my face? Li Zikuang, this is not a moment, you are ordered to be an envoy, but you are still disgusted by the sound, and you are humiliated by this, who do you blame? , I will peel your dog's skin!"

Zhao Sheng was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't dare to provoke anymore, he hurriedly kowtowed on the ground and begged for mercy, but he felt resentment towards the cold temperament of the Shi brothers in his heart.
