Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 694 Lobbyist Samurai Xun

Daibei, Mayi.

Liu Wuzhou stood at the door, looking at the two people who came to visit.One is Xu Wenbao, a big timber merchant who often passed by in Mayi, and the other is a friend from his hometown.

Xu Wenbao was dressed in brocade clothes and silk, with a big belly, while the man next to him was very strong, although his ears were spotted with white spots, his belly was still flat.

Xu Wenbao cupped his hands, "General Liu, let me introduce you to a friend."

"I like making friends the most. The sage said that having friends come from afar is such a joy. Please."

In Liu Wuzhou's mansion, Xu Wenbao introduced to Liu Wuzhou, "This is a friend of mine from the same village. He was a famous scholar named Wu and Xinming. He used to run a timber business with me. Later, he abandoned the business and joined the army. Now he is the marching Sima Kaicao of Taiyuan Prefecture and joins the army."

"It turned out to be a friend from Taiyuan." Liu Wuzhou smiled, but he was a little curious about how a soldier from Taiyuan Prefecture came to Mayi, and he didn't seem to be on business, so he asked a businessman to introduce him.

The warrior Xun didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "I used to be in business and met many friends, so I have many friends. Recently, I heard a story from a friend of mine, saying that the imperial court wanted the king's governor to go north to Dingxiang to succeed Luo Xuanwu. The position of commander-in-chief?"

"Well, there is this matter. The imperial court has decreed that Dingxiang and Mayi will be merged into one Jiedu Mansion and Yi Dudu Mansion, and set up as a new Dingxiang Road, and Wang Dudu will take over as commander-in-chief."

The warrior Xun then patted his legs and said, "Why is the general so happy? Don't you know that disaster is coming."

"how you said that?"

The samurai said, "I heard that General Liu respects Luo Shuai, the loyal army outside the pass, and I also have a little friendship with General Wang Junkuo under Luo Shuai's command. I heard that because of Yu Wenshu's death, there is a chancellor in the court who wants to take this opportunity. , to collect the power of several meritorious generals from the Luo family, but Luo Cheng, Luo Siye, Luo Gui, Luo Yi, etc. have made great military exploits for the country, guarding the frontier, gaining a great reputation in the army, and are deeply loved by the soldiers."

"Especially today, the world is in chaos everywhere. The country should rely more on the border commanders who have great military achievements. Why do they want to seize the power of the heroes and convict them because of some unsubstantiated rumors? Isn't that the case? To chill the heroes and force the general to rebel?"

When Liu Wuzhou heard the word rebellion, his eyelids twitched a few times.

"General Liu, you are also a battle-hardened person, and you should be more aware of the current situation than I am. If the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Duke of Chu surrender their military power at this time, they are afraid that their lives will be lost, so they will never surrender their military power. Yes, and if the king's governor and you go to Dingxiang to take over the military power, I'm afraid it will cause a war."

"It shouldn't be so?" Liu Wu said thoughtfully.

"General, please think about it differently. If you were the Marquis of Xiangyang, would you hand over your military power at this time?"

"Think about it again, general. If the Marquis of Xiangyang rebels, then the Duke of Chu will definitely rebel. At that time, Shandong and Annan will also rebel. At that time, the king's governor and General Liu will be in danger. Maybe the court will try to appease you. Commander-in-Chief, you will be punished. The worse possibility is that you will be directly killed by the Marquis of Xiangyang."

Liu Wuzhou rubbed his chin, "Wu Canjun, you are an official from Taiyuan, why do you say such things? You shouldn't be on the court's side, why do you always say that the Luo family is going to rebel?"

"General Liu, don't you still not see the general situation of the world clearly? Now the world is in chaos, Luoyang is besieged by rebels, and the emperor can only hide in Jiangdu. Now, the soldiers who can fight in the world are only a few in the frontier. Great Jiedu envoy. The emperor wants soldiers now, and the court has no one who can fight. There is no tomorrow in the Great Sui Dynasty. Its strength is exhausted. Now it is time to change the dynasty. At this time, General Liu, you Why not take advantage of the trend and become a hero who supports the new monarch and founds the country from Conglong?"

"It seems that Wu Canjun has already stood up. If I arrest you, I think I can exchange a lot of rewards."

The warrior Xun smiled, "I'm just a small soldier, so what's the use of arresting me, but if you really want to do this, you're putting yourself on the opposite side of Luo Shuai, what will you do in the future?"

Liu Wuzhou smiled, "It's just a joke with Wu Canjun, but I'm just a small general, and I can't control the general trend of the world."

"General Liu, you are also very prestigious in Mayi's army, and you are highly trusted by Wang Dudu. We think you should persuade Wang Dudu on behalf of Mayi soldiers. Your words will have more weight. If Wang Dudu is willing to stand on Luo Shuai's side, In the future, you will not lose the reward of meritorious service, and General Liu, you will not lose the position of prince."

So Liu Wuzhou went to see Wang Rengong and said that we shouldn't go to Dingxiang. If we rush through the current situation, we may backfire. If Luo Siye is forced to turn against us, we may not be able to bear the responsibility, and may even cause the Xuanwu army in Dingxiang to attack. A war with our Mayi Yiwu Army.

"After defeating the Turks, Daibei has just begun to regain some vitality with great difficulty, and the people have resettled their homes and properties. If there is another fight, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

Wang Rengong was not persuaded by his subordinates' words.

He widened his eyes, blew his beard and said, "As the generals of the Sui Dynasty, we must be loyal to the court and guard the border for the emperor. Now the emperor ordered Luo Siye to return to Beijing and let our two towns become one. Okay, as for the rest, we should not consider it. As for Luo Siye's rebellion, that is his business. If he really rebelled, then he is a traitor, and we should punish him. If he accepts the order to enter the capital, then we have nothing to do worried."

"Wang Shuai, the situation is different. Only those who know the current affairs are the best!"

As a result, Wang Rengong scolded him severely, "It's best not to let me hear such words again, otherwise I will punish you."

Liu Wuzhou returned after being scolded, and told the warriors Xun and Xu Wenbao helplessly.

"It's nothing, let's figure out a way to get it done, even if it doesn't work out, but it's worth being happy to have a friend like General Liu." The warrior Xun said with a smile, and then said that he would buy Liu Wuzhou a drink.

"Just drink it in my house."

Xu Wenbao said, let's go to my place. I have a good collection of wine there.Liu Wuzhou is also good at wine, so he smiled and agreed when he heard about it.

At that moment, they went to Xu Wenbao's home in Mayi City together. Xu asked his family to prepare food and wine, and chatted while eating.

At the banquet, Wu Xu and his wife frequently toasted Liu Wuzhou with wine, and even called a few beautiful kabukis to accompany them.

"It's getting late, and I think the general is also drunk, why don't you rest at my place tonight, the girl Yicui whom the general likes just now, I let her accompany the general."

"Hahaha, yes, I will listen to Xu Langjun's arrangements." Liu Wuzhou was already drunk, and the girl Yicui was held in his arms, and he really didn't want to leave this gentle town at this time.

When Liu Wuzhou entered the guest room with Miss Yicui in his arms, Xu Wenbao and the warrior Xun looked at each other and smiled.

"Is it all arranged?"

"Well, it's already been arranged. Since Wang Rengong refuses to cooperate, that's the only way to go. I've already sent someone to lure his favorite concubine out of the mansion for incense, and captured her on the way. I'll wait for Liu Wuzhou When I fell asleep, I stripped this beauty and sent him to bed."

"Can Wang Rengong come here by chance?"

"That's natural. When he follows the clues to find it, he will just find that his favorite concubine is messing around with his most trusted general."

"Then I'm afraid the concubine won't cooperate?"

"There's been a countermeasure. That little concubine has already been drunk, and the personnel affairs are unknown. Even if she is put together with a pig, she won't react."

"Hahaha, although the strategy is a little bit damaged, the effect is definitely good."

The two laughed.
