Chapter 637: Fulfilling the Promise
Xue Chengyi chose to die!
In the surprised gaze of Xiao Zhongze and Xiao Jingteng, he walked calmly to the edge of the big table, raised the wine pot, and drank the wine in the pot in one breath without leaving any traces of silk. Read
The general of the auxiliary country fell down, fell in Chen Fengxiao's arms, and calmly closed his eyes in the other party's Taosheng. From beginning to end, he did not say a word. No one knew that this man had led hundreds of thousands of troops.
What was the general thinking before his death? He hated Xiao Zhongze's betrayal and lamented his bad luck. He chose to leave with a peaceful look on his face with a puzzled look on his face.
The gates of Tongzhou were wide open, and Xiao Zhongze, Xiao Jingteng, Chen Fengxiao and others led Tongzhou civil and military officials to surrender to Li Xiao, and Tongzhou changed hands. Xiao Zhongze prepared a lot of apologizing to Li Xiao without a chance to say it because Li Xiao
At this time, it was not in Su Can's army at all.
Yi'an, Li Xiao and Cheng Qun sat down at each other.
All the annihilation of Xue Chengyi was a honeymoon for two cooperatives. With the demise of Xue Chengyi, the short honeymoon period of the two was also declared over. At this time, Cheng Qun no longer believed in anyone. He has experienced too many things over the years, so
He deeply realized that only when he is strong enough can he control his own destiny, rather than being slaughtered by others. Li Da is not trustworthy, and Li Xiao is still not trustworthy. When they can use you, they can be called brothers and brothers with you.
If you don’t need it, it’s not much slower than turning a book.
"Fourth Master, I have fulfilled my promise. Now, it's your turn!" Cheng Qun looked at Li Xiao and said word by word. "I need food, salary, weapons, and assistance after I cross the river.
”
Li Xiao was a little annoyed. Although he annihilated Xue Chengyi, the road ahead was still not smooth. If Cheng Qun could confess to cooperation all the way and work together, it would be much easier to get the job of going to Beijing, but he also knew that this was impossible. He and Cheng Qun were both friends.
The cooperation is based on their common interests in a short period of time. Now, Cheng Qun will never damage his strength for himself.
"General Cheng, don't worry, Li promised you no less. But you also know. Over the years, Su Can and Congliang have also struggled, and there was no extra stuff in the army, these. I believe you also have to do it.
I saw it, as long as I take down Tongzhou, there will be everything. Then I will satisfy you first."
Cheng Qun nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Fourth Master. Fourth Master, actually helping me, and I am also helping you. I cross the river to fight, which is actually to relieve your worries. The battle between Mengren and Yun Zhao will not last long, I must
We have to seize the time, once they decide the outcome, I will pay more money after crossing the river."
"Maybe the situation won't be that bad!" Li Xiao looked at Cheng Qun, "I will definitely give you what I promised you, but it's already the middle of winter, and heavy snow is everywhere in the north. It's no longer suitable for military use, and the Mongol Yuan and the North are invincible.
It is obviously impossible for the confrontation between the troops to end their previous confrontation this winter, but our side is different. General Cheng. If we continue to cooperate, we will be able to end the war in the Central Plains faster. I want to restore the peace of the Central Plains.
The unified Central Plains, a calm Central Plains, and a Central Plains that restore economic and people's livelihood will be of greater help to your battles in the North."
Cheng Qun stood up and said decisively: "Fourth Master, Cheng Qun will not step further. Maybe you don't know Yun Zhao, but over the past few years, I have watched this person step by step from a place that is not worth mentioning.
The young player grew up to be a giant today. His tenacity is surprising. The wind and snow will not stop this person from moving forward. The faster the calmness in the south, the faster he will attack the Mongols, because he will not think
Seeing a peaceful and unified Central Plains appear in front of him, no matter what you think, I think that this winter, Yun Zhao will try to end the war against the Mongolian Yuan, and turn his attention to Jiangnan, if he succeeds
, Then, I will have no place to gain a foothold in the North. This is not good for me, and I think it is even less good for you."
"So, I don't want to cause trouble. I will lead my troops back to Jingzhou. Once I cross the river to fight, Yun Zhao will inevitably order him to launch an attack on Xiangzhou in the Fifth Battalion of Xiangzhou. There, he has more than 20,000 elite troops of the Fifth Battalion.
The soldiers and the Bailian Army's troops have the strength to be underestimated. Fourth Master, I hope that the sooner you promised me, the better. My victory will make the rule of the Greater in the Central Plains more stable, and you will have more time to come.
Work hard to govern, reorganize the army and prepare for war, so as to hope that the northern land can be recovered again in the future." Cheng Qun bowed and said, "Fourth Master, I will say goodbye!"
Li Xiao nodded, "General Cheng, in the future we will be both monarch and minister and ally. I hope you can show your might in the north, look down on your shoulders, and set up a powerful barrier for the Central Plains!"
Cheng Qun's face showed a smile, "This is what I wish! The prosperity of Dayue has always been my wish. No matter how current affairs change, this has never changed in my heart. This is also what I am willing to cross the river and fight.
One reason. Goodbye, Fourth Master, Cheng wishes you all your wishes come true and smooth sailing, recover Yanjing as soon as possible, rebuild the country and rebuild the country."
"I won't give it to you!" Li Xiao said with a smile.
Looking at Cheng Qun's back as he strides away, Lian Zhongwen behind Li Xiao said angrily: "Fourth Master, this person is too rude and has no rituals from the monarch and ministers. Let this person leave, I don't really raise him again.
Snake.”
Li Xiao didn't care, "He did become a wolf, but this wolf is still loyal to Dayue. This wolf is stronger, which is beneficial to us. Northland... Northland! It can be predicted that Northland
It will definitely become my biggest concern.”
Lian Zhongwen paused for a moment, "Second Master, since it is a wolf, why do we have to return the families of these people who have been rescued from a lot of hardships to them and put them in our hands, wouldn't it be better?"
Li Xiao laughed, "Why do you have to do this villain? Cheng Qun will never change anything because of these things. I will detain his family, but instead make him underestimate me. Why not give this favor to the end?
After all, he would leave some incense. If he could defeat the Mongolian Yuan and Yun Zhao, his family would dominate, he would inevitably fight me in the end, either surrender to me or perish, and if he was the Mongolian Yuan or
It was Yun Zhao who was defeated and could not gain a foothold in the North, so he had to come back. At that time, such a talented wolf was also what I needed. I hope he could hold on in the North for more time, the longer the time,
The more beneficial I am!”
Lian Zhongwen nodded, "The Fourth Master is far-sighted and far beyond his ability. I respect you!"
"You went to Shangjing this time and met Xinmei?"
"Yes, the Fourth Master, I will sneak into the capital. I was originally planning to rescue the Empress when I secretly took out Cheng Qun and others' families, but the Empress refused and said that her goal was too big and that once she disappeared, it would inevitably cause her.
The search for the whole city is not conducive to the great affairs of the Fourth Master, so he would rather stay in the capital than leave with the last general!" Lian Zhongwen lowered his head and said.
Li Xiao was silent for a moment, "With this happening to his wife, what's the point of saying? Zhongwen, are they mother and daughter okay?"
"The two princesses are very nice, but the empress looks very old!" Lian Zhongwen whispered: "I saw countless white hairs on the empress's head!"
With a thud, Li Xiao punched the case with a punch, and bowed his head in pain, "I and the boss are alive and die, how can she be better in the capital? Her family has been implicated, and all the casualties are gone. She is so scared and afraid,
How can you not grow old? Xinmei, Xinmei, you must live well, I will compensate you."
"Fourth Master, please rest assured. When I left the capital, I asked to meet Cao Cao. He had promised to protect the Empress's safety. No matter what happened, the Empress and the two princesses would not be harmed." Lian Zhongwen said.
Li Xiao nodded, "It's so good. Cao Yi is not a person who promises casually. Since he said that, he should be able to do it. I didn't expect that Cao Yi's power is so powerful that he was weakened by the boss so drastic, and he could still control the world.
The overall situation can be successfully made him loyal to me, but he will be better than a hundred thousand troops! Tongzhou will be sent to the capital as soon as it is sent, and Weizhou is already in control. It won’t take long before we can come to the capital.”
"Fourth Master, your success is the failure of the uncle. If the uncle still regards Cao Yi as the chief assistant, I am afraid that our journey to Beijing will not be so smooth." Lian Zhongwen smiled and said, "Fourth Master, Cao Yi,"
The young master Cao Zhen is still in Tongzhou now and is waiting to see you!"
"Oh?" Li Xiao nodded, "It seems that Cao Yi has something to tell me, well, Zhongwen, let me know, I'll go to Tongzhou right away."
Shangjing, the core of Dayue, has fallen into panic. At the center of Dayue, under the feet of the emperor, the war has always been so far away from them, but this time, the residents of Shangjing truly felt the threat of war for the first time.
The bad news of the destruction of the 100,000 troops of Xue Chengyi, the general of the auxiliary country, had not yet been digested. Xiao Zhongze, the governor of Tongzhou, surrendered the city and the rebels once again shocked the capital. Tongzhou was lost, and Weizhou was directly exposed to the attack of hundreds of thousands of enemies.
After Weizhou, it was Shangjing.
The capital is in chaos, prices soar, and it has almost reached an out of control. The prices of daily necessities are rising. The chief assistant Xu Enmao tried all his best, but he still couldn't stop the economic storm that swept the capital.
, as Shangjing's economy is on the verge of collapse.
Xu Enmao has no choice but to do anything. He does lack experience in controlling a country's political affairs. Under such circumstances, an aide gave him a note. You might as well ask Cao Yi. Cao Yi has been in charge of the chief minister of Dayue for decades and has encountered countless
This is an unexpected event, and has rich experience in dealing with such things.
To be honest, Xu Enmao was unwilling to lower his head to Cao Yi, but the harsh facts were placed in front of him. He had to put down his face and put down his posture. He came to Cao Yi's mansion in person as the chief minister and asked to see Cao Yi.
