Chapter 404 Li Chaosheng's Countermeasures

"Oh, so that's what you meant."

Li Dezhen and Li Chaomeng looked suddenly enlightened after hearing these words, and the corner of the messenger's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but relax, finally understood, and it was time to negotiate conditions.

The messenger was thinking this way, when Li Dezhen said: "Let's see off the guests."

Ok?
The messenger was dumbfounded, staring at Li Dezhen with staring eyes, you understand and see off the guest?

At this moment, Li Chaomeng scratched his ears and said, "Be gentle with the messenger, and don't drop the messenger when you put it down in the basket."

"Yes."

The adjutant should be, the messenger was dumbfounded, he stared at Li Chaomeng and Li Dezhen and said: "You two generals, you understand, don't you want to talk to me? As long as the four commanders of my family are released, our king will I am willing to turn hostility into friendship with you, and I will not take the initiative to beat you."

The messenger shouted at the top of his voice, and Li Chaomeng stood up and said, "Okay, don't make things difficult for you, go back and help me tell Zhang Xianzhong, Lantian is not something he can get his hands on, he wants to attack Lantian County, he has to ask Do we agree to the guns in our hands? In addition, if we want Ai Nengqi and Zhao Ding, yes, our county lord said, Ai Nengqi is 5 taels of silver, and Zhao Ding is 1 taels. Of course, if your king wants If you don’t have any money, you can exchange it with someone. Sun Kewang is worth 6 taels. Send him here, and Ai Nengqi and Zhao Ding will return it to you. Of course, your king still wants to earn some money. Send Li Dingguo here. Our county magistrate will find you 2 taels of silver, do you understand?"

"Well, I understand."

The messenger nodded at this.

"Understood, don't leave yet."

When Li Chaomeng finished speaking, the messenger cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely tell the truth to my lord what the general said, but I ask the general to think carefully about whether you, Lantian, can bear the consequences of offending our lord."

"Hehe...there is no consequence in this world that we, Lantian, can't bear, so don't worry about it. You should go back and inform your lord, and tell him to fight as soon as possible. We, Lantian, have never suffered in this life. Threats to anyone."

After hearing this, the messenger looked at Li Dezhen and Li Chaomeng and said, "Since the general has made up his mind, I will leave."

After saying this, the messenger turned around and sat down the city wall with the adjutant in a big basket.

After the messenger left, Li Dezhen looked at Li Chaomeng and said, "Uncle Mengzi, it seems that Zhang Xianzhong doesn't really want to fight us."

Li Chaomeng heard the words and said: "That's for sure. A few days ago, I had a telegram with the county lord. The county lord said that Zhang Xianzhong must be thunderous and rainy this time. He didn't dare to fight Lan Tian, ​​because if his troops fought If he is disabled, then the imperial court will clean him up easily, and will not agree with his Zhaoan, so he is also a weapon of choice. After all, he has dug the grave of the old Zhu family. As long as the emperor's surname is Zhu, he will not be killed Accepted by the court."

"It's better for the county magistrate to see thoroughly. By the way, just now you said that Ainengqi was [-] yuan, Sun Kewang was [-] yuan, and Li Dingguo was [-] yuan?"

"Given by the county lord, the county lord said that only Li Dingguo under Zhang Xianzhong's command is a talent, and the rest are mediocre. He intends to recruit, but this Li Dingguo is not someone who can be recruited easily, so he can only try to drive a wedge between the few people around Zhang Xianzhong. .”

Snapped!
"What? Li Chaosheng actually asked me for money?"

In Zhang Xianzhong's camp, Zhang Xianzhong threw the teacup in his hand directly, with a look of anger on his face. I've been a robber all my life, and now I let Li Chaosheng tie my flesh ticket. It's a shame and a shame.

Zhang Xianzhong roared angrily, and the messenger knelt on the ground tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, they also said that if your Majesty is not willing to spend money, you can exchange it with someone."

"Employ people?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the courier, and the courier said at this time: "They said that the four commanders and General Zhao Ding can be exchanged with the Grand Commander."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang, who was sitting in the first position on Zhang Xianzhong's left hand, sneered and said, "Hmph, Lan Tian has a good idea. I will naturally lead my troops to rescue my brother."

As Sun Kewang said, he was very angry in his heart. This Lantian thief made a good idea to let me change the fourth child, he must be crazy.

Zhang Xianzhong narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said nothing. The condition was the same as if he hadn't said it. He couldn't exchange the eldest for the fourth. If he did so, the boss still hated himself to death.

Besides, the fourth child is also more brave in fighting. Although the eldest brother is not good at fighting, he is good at home affairs, so this cannot be changed.

"What else did they say?"

Zhang Xianzhong asked in a deep voice.

The messenger said: "They also said that the second commander can be exchanged. They said that if the second commander is exchanged, not only the fourth commander and General Zhao Ding will be sent back, but also 2 taels of silver can be given to the king."

After saying this, Li Dingguo frowned slightly, and Zhang Xianzhong also frowned, but Sun Kewang clenched his fist at this moment, and became even angrier in his heart. He was angry when he was asked to change the fourth child, but when he heard that his price was lower than that of the second child, he became even angrier. up.

It's strange to say that people sometimes have some inexplicable comparisons. For example, at this time, Sun Kewang felt that Lantian underestimated him. Why is he not as valuable as Li Dingguo? Is it because Lantian thinks that he is not as capable as Li Dingguo?
Who the hell does she look down upon?

Sun Kewang thought about it and couldn't help but said: "Second brother is so famous, even the Lantian County Lord appreciates you so much, and even offered you a reward of 8 taels of silver. It seems that the second brother must be a high-ranking official when he goes to Lantian Houlu, let the second brother choose."

"Sun Kewang, what do you mean?"

When Li Dingguo heard Sun Kewang's eyes widen, Sun Kewang said: "It's not interesting, it means that the second brother has a bright future, and the talent of the second brother is so appreciated by the Lantian county magistrate, so if he joins Lantian, his future is limitless."

"You fucking fart, how can I betray my adoptive father and take refuge in the shit Lantian, stop spitting blood here."

Li Dingguo got angry and stood up and stared at Sun Kewang.

At this time, Sun Kewang said in a strange manner: "Second brother, to be honest, the conditions in Lantian are much better than ours. This person walks up high and the water flows down. If you are tempted, second child, you can tell your foster father in advance. , don’t secretly bring your troops to Lantian, we have no place to cry at that time, the soldiers and horses under your command were all accumulated by your adoptive father little by little, so they can’t be a stepping stone for you to seek refuge in Lantian.”

"Sun Kewang!"

Hearing Sun Kewang's words, Li Dingguo was as angry as a lion. Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Li Dingguo at this moment, and his heart skipped a beat. He is very tempted.

If he loses the battle with Lantian and cannot get this place, and Li Chaosheng throws an olive branch like the second child, the second child may not be rebellious.

After all, the most worthless thing these days is conscience, and the most untrustworthy thing is loyalty. Zhang Xianzhong has seen many things about fathers killing sons and sons killing fathers for the sake of profit and power. What about father and son?
The second child usually performs well, but I often pull sideways. The second child has grievances in his heart. I know it, but I don’t usually feel it, but now this grievance is an unstable factor, and it is definitely too late to make up for it. I have to guard against it.

Zhang Xianzhong thought about looking at Li Dingguo, it was very subtle, trust, that only exists between gentlemen, how can there be any trust between rogues?

The former leader of the bandits, Wang Jiayin, is the best example. Wasn't he killed by his brother-in-law in the end?
Brother-in-law, godson, nephew, and own son are all unreliable in the face of interests and rights. Wang Jiayin is a lesson from the past, and Zhang Xianzhong, who is used to betrayal, does not feel that he is special. Across the belly, who knows what the other party thinks?
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong murmured in his heart. This is also related to Zhang Xianzhong's lack of self-confidence. People go to high places. If Zhang Xianzhong is stronger than Lan Tian, ​​then you let Li Dingguo betray him, and Li Dingguo will not betray him, but he does not have Lantian. Strong, that's why Zhang Xianzhong became suspicious.

But as long as suspicion arises, it will take root in my heart like a devil, and he will come out from time to time to toss about it. Zhang Xianzhong is like this. At this time, seeing Li Dingguo's angry expression, he is also muttering in his heart, is this acting for himself? What about?
But he doesn't know whether Li Dingguo acted for him, but he wants to act for Li Dingguo.

"Boss!"

"Father."

Sun Kewang clasped his fists quickly at this time, Zhang Xianzhong said with a dark face at this time: "If you don't apologize to the second child, how can you become suspicious if you are all brothers, and ruin the brotherhood."

Sun Kewang was not very convinced at first, but when he saw Zhang Xianzhong's dark face, he immediately waved his fists to Li Dingguo perfunctorily and said, "I'm talking too much."

Li Dingguo wanted to say something else, but Zhang Xianzhong said, "Dingguo, don't take this matter to heart. This is Lantian's trick to sow discord."

Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said: "Father, Lantian insults me carefully, this revenge will be avenged on my son, I also ask my adoptive father to approve, I will lead my troops to Mangdangkou and attack Pingli in the hinterland of Lantian, in order to avenge Lantian's humiliation."

Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said. After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong turned his head and looked at the military map on the side. Mangdangkou is not far from Tongqian Pass, but it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. To allow one person to pass through, if you want to attack this place, you can only take it by surprise.

But if you can enter through Mangdangkou, then Lantian County will appear flat in front of you. At that time, you will go around from Mangdangkou to Tongqian Pass and attack the outside army inside and outside. county.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong was a little moved. This is a good idea. If he can enter through Mangdangkou, he can win the copper coin gate. If the copper coin gate is in his hands, his game of chess will be alive. Lantian may not be without Zhang Xianzhong A piece of fat.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Li Dingguo and said, "Dingguo, this step is dangerous, if you make trouble, you may be ambushed by Lantian."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo cupped his fists and said, "Father, Lan Tian insulted me carefully, I will kill Li Chaosheng to vent my anger."

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Okay, since my son is not afraid of danger, and as a father, he can't stop you, then you go, the foster father is waiting for you to return in triumph."

"Thank you, righteous father."

Li Dingguo clasped his fists, Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "Go, let's rest well, tomorrow the foster father will allocate food and grass for you."

"Yes."

Li Dingguo turned around and left the barracks. Looking at Li Dingguo's back, Zhang Xianzhong nodded in satisfaction: "The second child should be reliable. At this time, he is willing to take risks. It doesn't look like he is in the same boat as Li Chaosheng. , and as long as Li Dingguo enters Lantian County and kills the people of Lantian, with Li Chaosheng's character, he will never allow Li Dingguo to enter the Lantian system."

Li Dingguo left Zhang Xianzhong's camp, Wang Jiadong came up to him at this moment and said: "Dingguo, how is it?"

The meeting just now was very high-level, and Wang Jiadong did not attend. At this time, Li Dingguo said: "Notify the troops to rest and set off tomorrow to attack Mangdangkou."

"Mangdangkou? It's a dangerous place!"

Wang Jiadong said to Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo said: "I know, but there is nothing I can do. The Lantian County envoy is trying to drive a wedge between me and my adoptive father. The foster father should have already become suspicious. At this time, I will not show any more and dismiss the foster father." Doubt, otherwise we will not have a good life in the future."

Wang Jiadong frowned and asked, "What's the matter with Dingguo?"

When Li Dingguo told the story, Wang Jiadong frowned and said, "No way, just because Lan Tian is willing to give you a reward of 8 taels of silver, the Eighth King doubts your loyalty?"

Li Dingguo nodded and said: "Well, the adoptive father is suspicious in nature, and Sun Kewang is provoking discord, the adoptive father must have become suspicious. At this time, we must do something to dispel the suspicion of the adoptive father, otherwise..."

Li Dingguo didn't go on, just sighed and said: "Okay, let's stop talking, go back to the camp, as long as I take down Mangdangkou and break into Lantian territory, my foster father's suspicion will be eliminated."

Li Dingguo walked back as he spoke, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, how could Zhang Xianzhong's suspicion be dispelled with my presence.

Thinking of Wang Jiadong chasing after him, he said, "Dingguo, wait for me."

……

The Lantian county government office was brightly lit at this time, and Li Chaosheng was sitting on a chair looking at a document, when Guzi came over and said, "Master, Fengchu urgently calls."

Li Chaosheng was stunned, and looked up at Guzi, who said at this time: "Fengchu called urgently, saying that the county lord's plan to sow dissension has taken effect, and Zhang Xianzhong has already become suspicious of Li Dingguo. Open your mouth to show your loyalty."

"Oh."

Li Chaosheng closed the document in his hand, took Guzi's hand and read the detailed information, then said with a smile: "Zhang Xianzhong is really a stick, such a simple plan, he actually became suspicious, hehehe ...and this Sun Kewang is really a pig teammate, if Li Dingguo can really vote for our Lantian County, his Sun Kewang will be the first to remember."

Guzi also laughed after hearing this, and said to Li Chaosheng: "Master Xian, are we setting up an ambush at Mangdangkou to make Li Dingguo suffer a lot?"

"Do not."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng raised his hand and said, "Call me Li Dezhen and Li Chaomeng, let's continue singing this trick."
