Part Three Chapter Thirty-One Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge 6

[69 Book Bar - www.] When I passed through Fudun City after escaping from Gaojiu City for the first time, Du Chun was the officer of the Xifu Army who took me back to the city. At that time, Zhou Nuo, the commander of the Xifu Army, was reorganizing the Third Route Army and preparing to recruit subordinates.

Du Chun originally had great hope in promoting a commander.

Because he heard that Zhou Nuo wanted to keep me, he immediately changed his face towards me. The person Marquis Wen used must not be someone who can't hide things in his heart. I'm afraid Tao Shouzhuo also thought of this, so he

After getting rid of Zhou Nuo's crony Gu Ning, the replacement commander was Du Chun.

Shao Fengguan said: "Yes, you have been to Fudun City. If it's not these two people, then there are still three Li, who do you think is the most likely?"

I shook my head and said, "I can't guess it now. Anyway." I raised my head and smiled, "I'll know it soon."

At this time, Feng Qi loudly shouted from outside: "Captain, Governor Tao of the Xifu Army wants to see you."

Shao Fengguan and I stood up at the same time, looked at each other, smiled, and walked out. Outside, Tao Shouzhuo was standing with several officers. One of them was Tao Baihu, but the others were unknown to him. Judging from their clothes, they were also soldiers.

When the guards and the like saw us coming out, they bowed and said: "Captain Chu, Governor Shao, we are here to welcome you. We are welcome from afar."

Shao Fengguan and I returned the gift and said, "Captain Tao, please rise."

Tao Shouzhuo raised his head and said, "I don't know what the reason why the Governor of Chu came with his troops?"

I said: "His Majesty's decree is here, and Governor Tao will receive it."

Tao Shouzhuo immediately fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Tao Shouzhuo, accepts the order."

Tao Shouzhuo is now Si Chenbo, the commander-in-chief of the Xifu Army. The imperial decree conferred him the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and asked him to quickly come to the capital to serve. After I finished reading the imperial edict, I saw Tao Shouzhuo stood up with tears of gratitude and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty.

Well, it’s hard for me to repay my humble status..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Baihu behind him suddenly took a lunge, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Two governors, this villain will die. Tao Shouzhuo has a disobedient heart and deliberately plots rebellion!"

Falsely accusing someone of treason is a tried and true excuse when it comes to dealing with subordinates who can't get rid of them. But what surprised me was that this person turned out to be Tao Baihu! Tao Shouzhuo was obviously like a bolt from the blue, and said in shock: "Baihu, you..."

"But he was too shocked and speechless to speak.

Tao Baihu stood up and shouted: "Capture the rebel Tao Shouzhuo!" Those soldiers rushed forward and held Tao Shouzhuo down. Although Tao Shouzhuo may not be very good at archery and horsemanship, he is still good at it after all.

Military generals, but those few soldiers were powerful and fast, and none of them were inferior to ten swords. Tao Shouzhuo was held down by them and could not move at all. He just shouted: "Do you want to rebel?"

Tao Baihu sneered and said: "Uncle, do you also know that rebellion is a capital crime?" He saluted us again and said: "Two governors, Tao Shouzhuo intends to rebel. A villain dare not join in the conspiracy, so he can only sacrifice his relatives in the name of justice.

I sincerely hope that the two governors will understand me."

The expeditionary force will go south via Tianshui Province, and the navy army will join me from the navy to Fudun City. When the two armies of land and water gather in Fudun City, I will declare an edict to Tao Shouzhuo, saying that Tao Shouzhuo has made great contributions and will be promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the imperial capital.

A few years ago, when Nangong heard about the ceremony, Shangshu asked for the restoration of the Ministry of Personnel, but Marquis Wen dismissed it on the grounds that things had to be prioritized and the matter should not be urgent at the moment. Therefore, this time, Marquis Wen revived the proposal and asked for the re-establishment of the Ministry of Personnel. But this was not the case.

The position is for Nan

Regardless of whether Tao Shouzhuo was willing to give up his military power and enter the capital because of his interest in Gong Wenli, or whether he was unwilling to leave, took the risk and launched a rebellion, or came up with some means to evade, Marquis Wen had already arranged for manpower, and a commander would be sent out immediately.

After informing Tao Shouzhuo of treason, the expeditionary army killed him with thunderous means and divided the 50,000 Xifu troops into two groups. Half of them joined the expeditionary army and the other half were taken over by Deng Canglan. In other words, according to Marquis Wen's plan, Tao Shouzhuo would undoubtedly die.

This strategy was told by Marquis Wen. This strategy was too vicious. The water army came together to completely dispel Tao Shouzhuo's determination to stick to the city, and then captured him with lightning speed. It was almost the same as Zhou Nuo's defeat back then. A replica of. When Tao Shouzhuo solved Zhou Nuo, he probably never dreamed that this day would come to him. Because of Xiao Xinyu's incident, Tao Shouzhuo didn't have a good impression on me at all, but his end made me feel sad. I He didn't expect the attack to happen so quickly, so he forced a smile and said, "General Tao Baihu is really loyal and loyal. He just said that Governor Tao intended to rebel. Is there any evidence?"

Tao Baihu said: "Tao Shouzhuo hid weapons at home and used the royal ceremony arrogantly. The villain immediately went to search and find out and reported it to the two governors."

Tao Shouzhuo was so shocked that he screamed: "Captain Chu, Governor Shao, that is a false accusation! Baihu, you beast, I have never treated you badly..."

Tao Baihu sneered, interrupted him and said: "Uncle, you treat me very kindly, but it is always a personal relationship. As a royal minister, I, Tao Baihu, only know how to be loyal to Your Majesty. You must know that you are a minister, and loyalty and filial piety cannot be I'm sorry for my nephew's unfilial piety."

Not only was Tao Shouzhuo stunned, but I was also shocked. I never thought that Marquis Wen had actually instigated Tao Baihu's rebellion long ago. With such an insider lying beside Tao Shouzhuo, it is a miracle that Tao Shouzhuo can survive to this day. In the past, it was just because Marquis Wen had no time to take care of it. Tao Shouzhuo wanted to curse something. I sighed and said, "Come here, I will temporarily imprison Governor Tao."

Tao Shouzhuo was immediately dragged down. Tao Baihu was very proud and stepped forward, bowed and said: "Two governors, we have been having long nights and many dreams. Please enter the city quickly to prevent changes in the camps."

When he spoke, he treated Tao Shouzhuo like a corpse. In fact, Tao Shouzhuo was also like a corpse. He was very resourceful and must still be thinking about how to deal with Marquis Wen, but Marquis Wen's attack was so fast that he couldn't help him at all. Reaction. When playing chess, it is said that "one move is too high to tie one's hands and feet." Tao Shouzhuo is not a weakling. When he defeated Zhou Nuo, I was manipulated by him, but now I can't be regarded as the opponent of Marquis Wen.

When Tao Baihu led people back to the city, leaving Tao Shouzhuo paralyzed like a dead body, Shao Feng looked at me, smiled bitterly, and said: "Brother Chu, we have also been tricked by adults."

Marquis Wen asked Deng Canglan to arrive a little later, so that we could read out the imperial edict, and then capture Tao Shouzhuo with lightning speed. People who are loyal to Tao Shouzhuo will definitely hate us to the bone and regard us as irreconcilable enemies. If Marquis Wen in the future After they deal with us and then rehabilitate Tao Shouzhuo, then the Xifu Army must regard Marquis Wen as a benefactor and be completely used by Marquis Wen. This is the whole plan of Marquis Wen, but it is a pity that Shao Fengguan and I did not understand it until now. Raw rice is cooked.

I whispered: "At least, we haven't been jailed for rebellion yet."

Shao Feng looked at Tao Baihu's back and said with some disgust: "Tell me, how much longer can this Tao Baihu live than us?"

If Tao Baihu did such a thing, his death must have been arranged by Marquis Wen, but he was completely unaware of it. I smiled bitterly and said, "Only adults know."
