Chapter 282
Hearing Li Chongjiu mention the word Li Mi, all three of them were thoughtful.

Su Suyan said: "If Li Mi seizes the Eastern Capital, Dou Jiande and Li Yuan will regard Wei Gong as the lord of the world. This is already a well-known fact. Now we are against the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. Of course we can be of great help to Wei Gong."

"This statement is wrong. The eastern capital is located in the world and extends in all directions. How can it defend itself? If it is about the land of kings and hegemons, how can it compare with Guanzhong." Lu Ziqian said a lot of truth, showing his understanding of the world. insight into the situation.

Su Su said: "Mr. Lu, you can't say that. Things can only happen because of people. There is no reason for things to happen. Don't you hear that the ancients said that virtue is not danger?"

Lu Ziqian said with a sneer, "Is virtue not dangerous? Li Mi killed Zhai Rang who was kind to him. Is this called virtue?"

Wen Yanbo said immediately: "The imperial court has no way, the world is like a boil, and there has been an uprising. It is a pity that Shandong Wang Bo, Hebei Gaoshida, and Bohai Geqian can't shake the imperial court. Only Wei Gongchu raised Wagang with only a few thousand people. Hebei gained 20 troops from Liyang Cang, and another 20 from Luocang. Now under his command are Shandong's anti-king Mengrang, Hao Xiaode, and Wang Deren. They have 50 soldiers. What's more, Li Mi's hairpin tassels from generation to generation are enough to command the heroes. Its momentum is not something that Li Yuan can compete for."

Wen Yanbo also hesitated for a while before saying these impartial words.

Lu Ziqian glanced at Wen Yanbo, and said with a smile: "Where did Wen Sima say that? I heard that Tang Gong held his younger brother Wen Da very seriously, and entrusted his second son Shimin to him, so that brother Daya and younger brother Daya are in the same hands. Confidential. And do you think twice about them."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "Why did Mr. Lu say such a thing, I'm just talking about things."

When Lu Ziqian saw the rest of Zhao, the two Gaos were moved, and they thought that they should not be given to Su Su. Wen Yanbo, you have a word, and I have said it. If you can't convince Li Chongjiu, it doesn't matter. If you let the two of you The allies were also lured over by Li Chongjiu, which was bad, no, they should have been lured over by Li Mi.After all, right now Li Mi is the person most likely to take over the world.

Lu Ziqian then said: "I bet that Wei Gong will not be able to attack Guanzhong. Although Xue Shixiong has gone, the emperor has sent Jiangdu Tong to guard Wang Shichong to lead the Jiang and Huai Jin soldiers to the north. Qing Weiji, Henan Ambassador Huyalang General Wang Bian, Hanoi Tongshou Meng Shanyi, Heyang County Wei Dugu Wudu and other commanders went to the Eastern Capital together to get acquainted with Li Mi. The Eastern Capital has a 20 army. How will Li Mi defeat it. "
"Shijun is a wise person, so it's too short-sighted to put everything on Li Mi so easily?"

Li Chongjiu turned around and said, "But Li Yuan may not really be able to take Guanzhong, and Lu Gong put all the bets on one person, isn't it too risky? Lu Gong, it is really the so-called selfishness that cannot abolish the Duke."

While waiting for everyone to discuss, suddenly a person went to the county guard's mansion to report to Li Chongjiu, saying: "Your envoy, Duke Wei is here!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the scene jumped up, and Li Mi suddenly sent an envoy, why?

Li Chongjiu shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's just right, I estimated the date, and it will be just a few days away."

"You..." Lu Ziqian's face suddenly changed, but he immediately suppressed it.

Li Chongjiu smiled and looked at the leaders of the three major gentry clans in Zhuo County present. They were also people who had experienced many storms. After the initial shock, they settled down immediately.

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Zhao Heran, Gao Xudao, "It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's meet Wei Gong's envoy together and listen to what he has to say."

Now Li Chongjiu received Li Mi's envoy in the middle hall.

There were three envoys from Li Mi, Wei Zheng and Zu Junyan, he recognized them all, and the other one was wearing a Lin Zong scarf, and his toga with big sleeves looked like a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Li Chongjiu, Wei Zheng, and Zu Junyan are all around this person, which means that this person is an envoy, and his status is higher than that of Wei Zheng, Zu Junyan, and his age corresponds to him, so he can guess who the other party is.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu clasped his fists and said, "Isn't this the history of the head of the house who won Yuzhou for Wei Gong?"

Fang Yanzao was most proud of telling Li Mi to descend to Yuzhou. Hearing Li Chongjiu's words, he was very happy at the moment.

Li Chongjiu smiled, and said immediately: "Brother Fang is too modest, let me introduce to you this is Lu Ziqian Lu Gong from the Lu family in Fanyang, and this is Zhao Heran from the Zhao family in Zhuo County. It's Gao Xudao, Duke Gao of Yuyang Gao's family!"

"Happy meeting!"

"Happy meeting!"

Fang Yanzao bowed to them one by one in accordance with the etiquette of scholars, and the three of them did not hold back their airs, they avoided each other and bowed to each other, and then bowed back.

So Li Chongjiu introduced Lu, Gao, and Zhao one by one, and Fang Yanzao also knew that these three were from Zhuojun gentry, so he couldn't help but take a look at Li Chongjiu, thinking that Li Chongjiu occupied Zhuojun for only a dozen days, but he regained it It is not easy to win the hearts of the local gentry.

Fang Yanzao didn't know that the meeting happened just in time for him.

For Lu Ziqian of Fan Yang's Lu family, Fang Yanzao couldn't help but look favorably at him, and immediately said alone: ​​"Mr. Lu has really admired his name for a long time."

Lu Ziqian didn't slap the face of Li Mi's number one civil servant, and said: "Brother Fang has worked so hard to come to Zhuojun for thousands of miles. How about letting the old man hold a banquet for you tonight?"

Fang Yanzao laughed when he heard the words, and said, "I have heard that Mr. Lu is very polite. Brother Fang must be nagging, but first the public and then private. Let me talk about the business, Li Shijun. Wei Gong heard that you took Zhuojun I am very pleased and have decided to appoint you as Shangzhu Kingdom, Lord of Shanggu County."

Shangzhu Kingdom is a military honor, and Shanggu Duke is a famous knight, who bestows honor on him.

When Li Chongjiu heard the words, he gathered his sleeves and robes, bowed to the south, and said: "Li is here to thank Duke Wei!"

Fang Yanzao, Wei Zheng, and Zu Junyan all smiled happily.

In the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Baozang, the prefect of Wuyang County, surrendered Li Mi with a county, and Pei Renji, the ambassador of Henan Province, was sealed as the Shangzhu Kingdom by Li and bestowed titles.The Shangzhu Kingdom is the highest military honor in the Northern Dynasty, just like the Eight Pillar Kingdom back then, Li Mize and Li Chongjiu were the Shangzhu Kingdom, that is to say, they are regarded as equals to Yuan Baozang and Pei Renji, and their status in the Wagang Army is much higher than what led the army Come to seek refuge with Meng Rang, who was appointed as the general manager, and Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, who have just descended to Wagangzhai.

If the Wagang Army wins the world in the future, he will be the first-rate minister in the founding of the country.

Although Lu Ziqian and the others were prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help being shocked at this moment.From Lu Ziqian's point of view, although he has been with Li Chongjiu not long ago, based on his countless experiences, he can see that this kid is not so calm about the world on the outside.

But at this moment, Zhao Heran was the first to react, and cupped his hands to Li Chongjiu and said, "Congratulations to Duke Shanggu, congratulations to Duke Shanggu."
After Zhao Heran finished speaking, Su Su and Wen Yanbo also congratulated immediately, while Lu Ziqian's face was ashen, Gao Xudao was also a little thoughtful, but both of them congratulated Li Chongjiu face to face.

Li Chongjiu immediately said to Fang Yanzao: "Wei Gong is really interested. I wonder if Wei Gong agreed to my request?"

Fang Yanzao laughed loudly and said: "Regarding Li Shijun's persuasion to join Wei Gong and use his title, Wei Gong replied that the Eastern Capital is not peaceful, and this cannot be discussed. This is a secret letter from Wei Gong to Shanggu Duke. Watch it slowly." (Note [-])

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized that Li Mi was now the Duke of Wei, with the right title, and he would be the king one step further. Even with his current status, it would be too much to call him emperor directly.But Li Mi refused, which shows that he is not a proud person.

Before Li Chongjiu opened his mouth, Zhao Heran showed a regretful expression, and said: "You have no way, if Wei Gong doesn't come out at this time, who else in the world should do it, and I advise Wei Gong to make a decision as soon as possible."

When everyone heard this, they immediately thought that this person would really turn the wheel when the wind blows.Fang Yanzao nodded reservedly when he heard the words, and said: "I will definitely pass on the words of Zhao Gongcao to Duke Wei, and here I will thank Duke Wei first."

"Where? Where?" After Zhao Heran finished speaking, the expression on his fat face restrained.For the leader of the gentry of his sect, to flatter him to this extent has gone too far.

Li Chongjiu then accepted Li Mi's secret letter.

Contrary to Zhao Heran's reservedness, Fang Yanzao said to Li Chongjiu with a pleasant face: "Wei Gong also said that although there are Luo Yi in Youzhou at present, Gao Kaidao has not yet been determined, but it has generally calmed down. The Turks are in the north, and Goguryeo is in the east. , Both of these are my confidant's troubles, and they must be suppressed heavily, and the people of Youzhou also need to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Wei Gong said that Li Shijun can now be called the prefect of Zhuojun, pretending to be the governor of Youzhou. When Wei Gong breaks the Eastern Capital, Li Shijun will definitely be the governor of Youzhou."

Li Chongjiu said immediately after hearing this: "Wei Gong is very considerate for me."

Seeing this scene, Lu Ziqian and others still had any doubts. Li Chongjiu had obviously communicated with Li Mi in secret for a long time. A governor of Youzhou, a general of Shangzhu Kingdom.

It's really too clever to figure out all the tricks.However, Lu Ziqian understood that Li Chongjiu really didn't have the ambition to be self-reliant and Zhuolu world, otherwise he wouldn't show up to Li Mi to persuade him to come in.So since it was the Li family of Zhaojun who took over the world, that's nothing.

Zhao Heran and Gao Xudao were already thinking about how to build a relationship with Li Mi, and although Lu Ziqian was unwilling, he thought that as long as Li Chongjiu was not self-reliant, he would not be very good at uniting with the Youzhou gentry to oppose him. After all, against Li Chongjiu, now It is against Li Mi. Once Li Mi wins the world, it would be bad to go back and deal with them.

Lu Ziqian, Zhao Heran, and Gao Xudao would never know. According to normal history, Li Mi did not capture the Eastern Capital and become emperor, but Li Chongjiu knew this.As for the Wagang Army, Li Mi, Li Hu, Su Su, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Junkuo all maintained correspondence.

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo were very happy after learning that Li Chongjiu had established himself on the frontier.Everyone agreed that once the world is settled down, everyone will return to Luzhou Juxian Village for a reunion. At that time, heroes from all walks of life in Bingzhou will gather again, and everyone will not return if they are not drunk.

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo are both heroes of the time, with great arrogance, but for Li Mi and Li Chongjiu, the thinking at the moment is much more complicated.

Note 180: Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume [-], Dou Jiande, Zhu Can, Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang, etc. sent envoys to persuade them to enter, and the secret official Pei Renji also sent the table to ask for the correct number. The secret said: "The eastern capital is not peaceful. , this cannot be discussed.”
