Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 62
One month later, in Youzhou City, Hong Zaixing was furious in the palace.

"What, Zuo Houde raised his troops and captured more than ten cities in the southeast!" Hong Zaixing looked at his prime minister and said, the army was defeated these days, and today he heard the news of the treason, Hong Zaixing couldn't help it for a while anger.

The prime minister clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Houde took advantage of General Huang's defeat and his troops were divided, attacked ten cities in a row, and captured a land in the southeast. Shall I raise troops to encircle and suppress?"

Hearing the prime minister's words, Hong Zaixing was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Where are the soldiers from Zuo Houde?"

The prime minister replied, "I guess it's Zuo Houde's own private army."

Hong Zaixing said with a trace of anger: "Pursuing a private army! Sure enough, he is a rebellious minister and traitor, and he has long thought of plotting against him. Let me ask you how many troops Zuo Houde has now?"

The prime minister bowed his head for a moment of thought, and then said: "Judging from the soldiers Zuo Houde sent to attack the southeast, Zuo Houde has about 20 private troops, plus the [-] troops in Dingcheng and the defenders in ten cities, Zuo Houde has about [-] private troops. Germany now has at least [-] troops!"

Hearing what the prime minister said, Hong Zaixing couldn't help thinking, and murmured: "20 troops! No wonder he dared to lead troops to rebel!"

At this time, Hong Zaixing really didn't dare to send troops to crusade. After all, Dayan had just been defeated, and more than half of the 20 army lost, so he raised troops to encircle and suppress this option. Hong Zaixing just thought of it, and immediately put it down.

Hong Zaixing slowly put away his anger, started to think, and asked, "Is Zuo Houde's family still in the city?"

The prime minister said: "My emperor, Zuo Houde's family members have all been taken away, but Zuo Houde's family members and Yuezhang's family are still in the city."

Hong Zaixing waved his hand and said, "There's no need to embarrass them, just send someone to watch over them! Pass my decree, General Pingdong Zuo Houde, who has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, will be promoted to General Zhengdong."

After Hong Zaixing finished speaking, he thought of something again, and immediately ordered: "Immediately let the guards at the border gates immediately change defenses in Youzhou City, and the guards at the border gates will be changed every three years in the future!"

After everyone left, Hong Zaixing was the only one left in the hall. Hong Zaixing was a little angry, and directly swept the pen on the desk to the ground.

After a while, Hong Zaixing sighed again, he really had nothing to do with Zuo Houde at this moment, after all there was Nanming watching over him outside, so Zuo Houde could only be regarded as a minor trouble in comparison.

Of course, what Hong Zaixing was most afraid of was that he pushed Zuo Houde too hastily, and directly let Zuo Houde take refuge in Nanming. Then the whole Dayan would be completely exposed to Daming's horseshoes, so Zuo Houde only Can be appeasement!
……

Jiangling, Daming Palace.

When Han Tingzhi received the information, he couldn't help laughing: "Ruoxu, look, Hong Zaixing's backyard is on fire!"

Jiang Ruoxu took the secret report from Han Tingzhi, read it, and after a long time, he also laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, this Zuo Houde does not seem to be a virtuous person! He can conquer ten cities in a row, clearly It’s just keeping a private army in captivity.”

Han Tingzhi gradually put away his smile, and said lightly: "In recent years, a large amount of iron and ordnance have been smuggled from Dingcheng, and this Zuo Houde is the guard of Dingcheng, do you think he can be a kind man?"

Jiang Ruoxu then asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think Hong Zaixing will do to Zuo Houde?"

Han Tingzhi first frowned, and said slowly: "I'm afraid Hong Zaixing can only appease this Zuo Houde. After all, although the Great Yan's General Pingdong ruled in one side, he did not fight against the flag. At the same time, Hong Zaixing just joined forces The defeat, plus the fact that I have a big Ming outside, but for a while, there is nothing I can do about this General Pingdong."

Jiang Ruoxu saluted slightly, and said: "Since this General Pingdong has already rebelled against Hong Zaixing, he also knows Hong Zaixing's character, and now he can only rely on us, why not send Pei Ju to win him over, if he succeeds , we can start from Mobei and go straight to the hinterland of Dayan."

Han Tingzhi thought for a while, and said, "According to what you said, send Pei Ju to lobby!"

……

More than ten days later, Dingcheng.

An angel came from Youzhou, but it was to deliver a decree to Zuo Houde.

Zuo Houde sat on the chair and looked at the envoy in front of him. He didn't dare to say anything when he saw the envoy. He was also a member of the palace, so he knew that General Pingdong's behavior was like conspiracy, so he didn't dare to say anything. Take out your own angel shelf.

The angel showed a smile, and said to Zuo Houde with a smile: "General Pingdong accepts the order!"

After finishing speaking, the angel unfolded the imperial decree in his hand and read: "General Pingdong Zuo Houde has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, and he was promoted to General Zhengdong!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately handed the imperial decree to Zuo Houde.

Zuo Houde looked at the imperial decree and ordered the left and right to send out the angels.

Zuo Houde had known for a long time that Hong Zaixing would only appease himself, one was afraid of his own strength, and the other was that he was afraid that he would vote for Han Tingzhi, so Zuo Houde was not very surprised after receiving this imperial decree.

Hearing that he was promoted to General Zhengdong, Zuo Houde was also a little dazed, he couldn't help but ask himself, if Hong Zaixing hadn't suppressed his merits a few years ago and had directly promoted himself to General Zhengdong, would he still be independent?

After thinking about it carefully, Zuo Houde still thinks it will. After all, a few years ago, Zuo Houde really didn't think that Dayan would have a higher winning rate than Daming. The development of the past few years has gradually proved Zuo Houde's opinion.

So a few years ago, regardless of whether Zuo Houde was suppressed or not, Zuo Houde would choose to take over the military and political power, so that he could sit and watch the situation in the future, and once he took control of the military and political power, his ambition would naturally breed.

Of course, there is another result, which is just a hypothesis. If Dayan was really invincible back then, Zuo Houde would naturally not have undue ambitions. opportunity.

At that time, Zuo Houde's network resources will be incomparable to ordinary people. Zuo Houde only needs to learn from Sima Yi. After all, Zuo Houde's greatest advantage is his long life span!
Of course, the above are all hypotheses, because Zuo Houde is not optimistic about the ship Dayan, so he has already disembarked, and has taken advantage of the fire between the two countries to separate one side and have Zuo Houde's own foundation.

What Zuo Houde needs to do now is to develop this foundation, and at the same time sit and wait for a good opportunity, but when the time comes, Zuo Houde will naturally have a day when he will rise to heaven.

Of course, the biggest advantage of being in the southeast is its convenient location, connecting the north and the south, and Zuo Houde's "smuggling" business can double its expansion.

Of course, the division of interests this time needs to be changed again. Zuo Houde is already a small prince sitting in the southeast, so Zuo Houde will naturally not give up his interests. To expand the army, the more money the better.

At the same time, Zuo Houde also wants to take this opportunity to unify the Chamber of Commerce under his rule and stabilize his rear, so that Zuo Houde can develop with peace of mind.
