Lord of the House

Vol 7 Chapter 68: Who is the stone and who is the bird

In the backyard of Dutingyi Station in Tancheng, the candles were still burning, the weather was not cold, cicadas and insects were chirping in the pond and on the trees in the courtyard. Show up.

"Zuo Hujun, you have withdrawn from the narrow bridge, and you can see that your family is in a bad situation." Yue Lengqiu had no self-consciousness of being in the enemy camp, so he calmly sat at the table and poured wine for himself. , Wang Zheng and another entourage, all stood up behind him, "The Huaidong system envoy Lin Su led a heavy army to settle in Suining, and I led the Chang Huai army to settle the east of Sishui River in Xuzhou, Linyi, Shuyang, and Shukou. The elites are stationed, dare to ask the left guard army in Tancheng, surrounded by heavy siege, how to fight a way to survive?"

"If you wait for peace, the Changhuai Army will be able to withdraw from Xuzhou and force the Sishui River East to stand firm. If you want to fight, you must first ask if the Changhuai Army can stop the attack of my Tianbao and Huangjue rebels?" Chen Hansan is not A three-year-old child who is bluffing, Yue Lengqiu can show himself in Tancheng, he must have a plan, how can he bluff Yue Lengqiu with a few words?

After the spring of last year, when the bandits from the various counties joined forces in Fangling, Liu An'er called himself Huangjue King, and Liu An'er's refugee army also called himself Huangjue's righteous division.

Yue Lengqiu smiled indifferently and said, "Although Liu An'er has a large number of soldiers and horses, but he can't cross Sishui, how can you attack our army with your troops? But it's pointless to say these things. I came here in person to give you a wealth and honor, not I'm here to talk to you..."

"He Fugui, come and listen?" Chen Hansan asked calmly.

"There is only one envoy in Xuzhou, and if you give it to Liu An'er, you won't have any share," Yue Lengqiu said, "but I prefer you to Zuo Hujun, and I would like to find it for you."

"Yue Du thinks I'm a three-year-old kid?" Chen Hansan sneered, "Although Han San is a reckless man, he has heard the story of two peaches killing three scholars. The righteous teacher is torn apart, and who will make the profit in the end?"

"The Zuo Hu army is very wrong," Yue Lengqiu said with a smile. "The Zuo Hu army has made great contributions to Liu An'er. Did Liu An'er regard you as a direct descendant? After the war, Liu An'er may not be suspicious of you. I would like to ask Zuo Hujun, the court promised Liu An'er to give him the land of the four houses, how many counties can Zuo Hujun get?"

"..." Chen Hansan was speechless, Yue Lengqiu spoke of his heartache.

"If I seek you out with Liu An'er, do you think you can escape this disaster?" Yue Lengqiu asked again.

"Why didn't the Governor Yue seek me out with Liu An'er, but he had to personally take the risk and drag me to seek Liu An'er?" Chen Hansan asked back.

"Liu An'er has a lot of plans, I can't give what he wants; Zuo Hujun is born and died, he just wants to be rich, and what Zuo Hujun wants, I can give -- one of these," Yue Lengqiu said, "Liu An'er can't. It is used by me, but the Zuo Hujun can be used by me, and this is the second one!"

Ma Zhen and Chen Hansan were both startled and suspicious. Watching Yue Lengqiu and Chen Hansan clashing with each other, they did not relax for a long time. Listening to the meaning of Yue Lengqiu's words, he came to convince Chen Hansan to kill Liu An'er. In addition to being horrified, he didn't know whether to interject or not, and he didn't even know what to say.

"I might as well tell you the bottom line of this recruitment," Yue Lengqiu saw that Chen Hansan's eyes were erratic, and took out the decree of the shaft handle from his arms, and said, "This is the special decree of the sage that allows me to do things cheaply in Xuzhou, I know that Zuo Hujun is proficient in writing and ink, you can take a look and see..."

Chen Hansan took the imperial decree hesitantly. He was only fluent in brush and ink, and the imperial decree was very confusing. He called Ma Zhen over to read it for him.

Yue Lengqiu explained first, "The imperial court allowed Xuzhou to set up envoys, under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, Pixian, Huaiyang, Suining, Suyu and other seven counties and one prefecture. Salary. If we can't reach an agreement, we will summon Duke Lu to lead a large army to the south and attack them together. Before this matter, Duke Lu was resting in Jinan, and the troops did not advance, but Liu An'er was greedy and wanted to cut the land of the four houses. Do you want Lu Will the Duke stand by again? I won't come here, Liu An'er accepts recruitment on this condition, I want to ask how many counties the Zuohu army can occupy in the seven counties and one state, and the fixed salary of 20,000 soldiers and horses, the Zuohu army can occupy One percent or two percent?"

"..." Chen Hansan was in shock and didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Zheng, who was standing behind Yue Lengqiu, saw that Chen Hansan looked like this, and the three close associates of Chen Hansan who stayed to participate in the secret matter did not refute, and their expressions were quite moved, so he knew that most of the matter had happened.

"How can I trust you?" Chen Hansan asked with difficulty.

"Haha," Yue Lengqiu laughed and said, "I can come to Tancheng, but Zuo Hujun can't believe me once?"

"Yue Du, you are resourceful and courageous, but Han San dare not compare." Chen Hansan was not irritated and said.

"You are just worried that I will free up my hands to clean up you in the end," Yue Lengqiu smiled, and then asked back, "Excuse me, Zuo Hujun, what's in it for me? Could it be that the wealth of a Xuzhou envoy, I Are you reluctant to send it out?"

Chen Hansan and Ma Zhen and other cronies looked at each other hesitantly, wondering if they could believe what Yue Lengqiu said.

If Yue Lengqiu was rejected, Liu An'er finally accepted the recruiting according to the conditions given by the court, separated from seven counties and one state, and could only retain 20,000 elite soldiers. According to the ratio, he can only keep up to 2,000 elite soldiers on his side, and in the end, he is afraid that he will not be able to get even a county.

If he conspires with Yue Lengqiu and destroys Liu An'er, he will not only be able to sit on the throne of Xuzhou's system envoy and become the head of seven counties and one state, but the most important thing is to protect his 20,000 troops from being abolished.

Chen Hansan had to admit that the temptation was too great.

Everything in this world is false, and it is true that there are soldiers in hand.

Chen Hansan also knew in his heart that even if the imperial court promised to give Liu An'er all the 21 counties of the four prefectures, it would not be able to raise 400,000 soldiers and horses. It is not difficult to imagine who Liu An'er will keep and who will be abolished if the soldiers are to be abolished.

Of course, there is also a third way to go, that is to capture Yue Lengqiu and kill him, march westward, first break the Changhuai army stationed on the east bank of Sishui, continue to rebel and never look back. If you want to come to Liu An'er, you can't blame him for sabotaging the security affairs. Yue Lengqiu is the key to Liu An'er.

However, if Yue Lengqiu could come to Tancheng in person, there must be arrangements for the Changhuai Army. Besides, why did they rebel, wasn't it just to fight for wealth? How can there be any reason to seek distance?

"Lin Fu, the envoy of Huaidong's system, has always been at odds with me, must the Zuo Hujun heard about it?" Yue Lengqiu asked.

"I heard a little." Chen Hansan said.

"In July, Lin Fu broke the Yishui Camp, the Suyu River East Camp, and then conquered Suining. He was able to solve the siege of Xuzhou, but the Zuo Hu Army thought that Lin Fu was someone I could conspire with?" Yue Lengqiu asked.

Chen Hansan smiled and said nothing.

Yue Lengqiu continued: "Since the Jiangdong Zuo Army has been defending Huaihuai, it has taken the opportunity to expand its forces, and its troops have exceeded 20,000. Think of me as the dignified governor of Jianghuai. 20,000. I came here to consult Liu An'er with the Zuo Hujun in the hope that the Zuo Hujun can be used by me. If it is too late to maintain you, how could it be harmful to you? The imperial court was forced to formally agree to Lin Fu to guard Huaidong. Do your best to ensure that you come to take the seat of Xuzhou's system envoy, do you want me to explain more clearly?"

"..." Chen Hansan hesitated and did not answer.

"I don't know what kind of hatred Lin Fu has with you, but Lin Fu released Sun Zhuang's generals across Sishui and blocked your troops in the east of Sishui River. The murderous intention is very important. I think you will not ignore it. The matter of reconciliation, although it is in Mingli. I'm hosting, but it's Lin Fu secretly making it happen, so you won't ignore it. How can you know that Lin Fu and Liu An'er didn't conspire secretly?"

"He has a few generals, and he is my former enemy." Chen Hansan said lightly, cold sweat pouring down his back.

The two armies have faced each other for so long, even if he has not met Zhou Pu, Qin Chengzu and others, his subordinates will recognize Zhou Pu and Qin Chengzu. It is not unimaginable that Cao Xiucai and Si Niangzi were kidnapped in Qingjiangpu and took refuge in Lin Fu.

At that time, the hatred was too deep. Qin Chengzu was the main general under Lin Fu's command, and Lin Fu was Qin Chengzu and other subordinate generals. It was indeed very possible that they had murderous intentions on this side in the matter of recruiting security.

"Yang or should I give Zuo Hujun a few days to think about it?" Yue Lengqiu said, "But I've been away from Xuzhou for too long, and Liu An'er may be suspicious! I believe that the Zuo Hu army will not be without Liu An'er's eyeliner. , once this matter is leaked, not only is it not a good conspiracy, but it will become a disaster!"

Chen Hansan and Ma Zhen and other cronies exchanged glances, and after a while, they finally made up their minds~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and asked: "Liu An'er has hundreds of thousands of troops in the west of Sishui, and Han San will follow the advice of Yuedu. , with only 20,000 underdogs under his command, how can it be of great use?"

"Liu An'er has 100,000 troops on the west bank of Sishui, but he is too greedy, and most of his troops have been attracted to Suining. Xuzhou has only 20,000 exhausted divisions, and half of them are stationed at Yunlong Mountain on the west bank of Sishui River. Half of the camps are settled in Xuzhou City. You pretended to agree to withdraw from Tancheng and cross Sishui to the west from Xuzhou. Liu An'er will not doubt you, why can't you make a big deal?" Yue Lengqiu asked.

Liu An'er's troops in Xuzhou may not be more than 20,000, but they will never be many.

Chen Hansan is also a bachelor. Although he knows that relying on Yue Lengqiu at this time, there are many disadvantages and dangers, and the key is to use it for Yue Lengqiu to suppress the Jiangdong Zuo Army, but if you want to fight for wealth, how can you be afraid of the east and the west? After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He pushed the table to the front of the hall, bowed his knees to Yue Lengqiu, and called out, "Meng Yue will not abandon each other, Han San is willing to follow Yue Yue, make a fortune, and never betray... …”

Ma Zhen and Chen Hansan also knelt down together.

"Chen Zhi is the envoy, from now on, you and I will serve as ministers in the same palace, and Yue can't afford such a big gift," Yue Du hurriedly walked out, helped Chen Hansan up, and said, "As long as you serve the court faithfully , the wealth and honor of a feudal lord is as easy as the palm of your hand."

Chen Hansan couldn't care about whether to seal the title or not. The key now is to win the territory and keep the 20,000 troops under his command.

Yue Lengqiu also deliberately did not mention Chen Hansan's previous misdeeds. In his opinion, Chen Hansan turned against the water again this time, and there was no other way out. Even if he had the intention of supporting troops in Xuzhou, it would be difficult for him to become a serious trouble for the court, and he could just use it to suppress Lin Fu. : Donghai fox, Donghai fox, you have tried your best to keep pirates self-respect, and someone from Yue has done it for you!
