Chapter 1262: Just open your mouth and speak your mind
Huang Gongshao then knelt down. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but staggered and hurriedly put his head on the ground.
"The sinner Huang Gongshao has seen your majesty. My emperor is destined to return to conquer the Yi and Di, recover all the Xia, and be famous for eternity!"
In fact, he could think of more words to praise virtues, but he was distracted by Princess Rui's words and couldn't remember them for a moment.
At this moment, all I can think about is that matter - did Ping Zhanggong send the princess to Li Xia? How is that possible? Could it be that Ping Zhang Gong had already surrendered to Li Xia? But, how could I not even know about it?
Thinking of this, another even more unbelievable idea came to Huang Gongshao's mind.
"Am I not Ping Zhanggong's confidant?"
He glanced at Weng Yinglong secretly, only to see Weng Yinglong kneeling there with a confused look on his face, obviously not knowing about this.
Only then did he realize that this so-called Luocheng Palace didn't even have carpets, and the floor tiles were painfully scratchy.
Li Xia didn't ask them to get up. She turned to look at Zhao Jin and said in a voice that only she could hear: "You said it too early."
"I'm looking at your clothes."
But Zhang Jue might send an ambush into the mountain road to ambush him and cut off his retreat.
Li Xia seemed a little surprised, and his electric eyes fell on the two of them again.
Weng Yinglong said: "I don't know about this, but Marshal Zhang asked me to tell Marshal Lu that you can try it."
Lu Wenhuan glanced behind him in shock, blinked again, and found that Weng Yinglong was still standing in front of him.
Lu Wenhuan cursed again, this was the time when he was most like his brother, rude and irritable, as if he would not listen to whatever Weng Yinglong said next.
Weng Yinglong said: "Whether you believe Marshal Lu or not, why so many clans, famous ministers, and mere officials like us have joined the Tang Dynasty today is because the Zhao and Song Dynasties have exhausted their strength, and the Meng Yuan Dynasty is nothing more than a bandit. Whoever conquers the world,
He must be the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
After thinking about it, Lu Wenhuan recruited his own soldiers and asked, "Did Zhang Jue send an envoy?"
In the battle of Luoyang, he was defeated by Zhang Jue and retreated after his defeat.
But with this mouthful of phlegm, his anger was almost gone.
Only confusion remains.
Lu Wenhuan first walked to the bronze mirror, got closer, looked at the dark circles under his eyes, thought for a while, then lay back on the couch and closed his eyes.
Li Xia shook his head, then looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "Ping Sheng, I'm not going to court today, so you don't need to thank me. Is there anything you want to report to Wang Qing?"
He kicked open the table with the map.
Lu Wenhuan stood up quickly and said, "I'm going to see... No, I'll take him to the front of the hall and wait."
Moreover, they themselves had not slept for two days and had been tortured. There was no other news at all.
However, less than half a stick of incense had passed before Lu Wenhuan stood up again.
"Sinners are also willing to do the work of dogs and horses for Your Majesty!"
"Send one more troops to the south..."
"Damn it, they took advantage of me again."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
On the map, Songzhou City is square and square, and several lines are drawn on the south side of the city to represent the Funiu Mountains.
"Pooh!"
"no?"
~~
Two days later.
"Your Majesty, no." Jiang Fan said: "These two people are the Zhao and Song officials whom Marshal Zhang captured this time. They committed a heinous crime and should have been killed to thank the world, but they are willing to pay for their crimes and perform meritorious service."
He is good at defending but not good at attacking.
"No?"
~~
Songzhou.
This requires great caution.
Lu Wenhuan spit out thick phlegm on Weng Yinglong.
Even if Lu Wenhuan has the mind and vision, he still can't be the master now.
Weng Yinglong and Huang Gongshao were astonished when they heard this, but what surprised them even more was the words that followed.
"yes."
However, Boyan is still resting in Nanyang, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
Finally, Li Xia asked them: "Are you sent by Jia Qing to see me?"
He walked to the hall in a majestic manner, and Lu Wenhuan turned around the screen with an impressive momentum.
Zhao Jin responded with a smile: "Uncle said that he can control people, so he can govern the country and have free time to play."
Lu Wenhuan became uneasy, turned to look at the map, and murmured: "No matter how sophisticated your troops are, you only have so many troops. Are you really not afraid that I will join forces with Boyan?"
"In this way, the situation in Henan can be stabilized without mobilizing too many troops. It can also reduce the threat from the Song Dynasty to the end for the time being, which is the best."
"Report to the marshal, no."
"allow."
"Your Majesty, the sinner was not with Mr. Jia Xianggong in Pingzhang a long time ago, so he did not know about this matter. However, the sinner was determined to restore the Central Plains and had long wanted to repay Your Majesty. However, he had not repaid the great kindness he received from Jia Xianggong and did not have time to go to Beitou. Today.
I was overjoyed to learn that Xianggong Jia had given up the dark side and turned to the bright side."
Zhang Jue grew up from a soldier to a commander-in-chief, and experienced countless battles in his life; while Lu Wenhuan had been protected by his brother when he was young, and he had been stationed in Xiangyang steadily.
"I'll write a letter and send someone to bring it to Zhang Jue."
"Fuck you! You shameless bitch..."
Lu's reputation and power are great, but when it comes to fighting, there is not much comparison between him and Zhang Jue.
"Exact words." Weng Yinglong said: "How can Marshal Lu confirm that Boyan will arrive in time? Maybe he has searched everywhere in Nanyang to supply supplies."
Lin Zi asked: "Then how to reply to Marshal Zhang?"
"Is that what I said? What I'm saying is that your Majesty has strict laws and regulations. After the world is pacified, he will wipe out the long-standing abuses of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and eliminate the powerful families, so as to..."
"Marshal Lu, I have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Today I have learned that cowards and foreigners cannot rule the world. It is up to the Holy Emperor to reopen the prosperous age."
"This...I don't believe it."
Weng Yinglong and Huang Gongshao were horrified and knelt down quickly.
"He's handsome!"
"Weng Yinglong! Do you still remember that not long ago, I didn't want to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty? It was you...it was you! I persuaded me to attack Li Xia. I dare you, the faces of you literati, to become faster than prostitutes! Damn,
I'll put it in your dirty mouth! It's even worse..."
"Without Wang Xianggong's strategy, if we were to face Boyan and Lu Wenhuan head-on, we don't know how many soldiers and horses would be restrained here, and we don't know how long it would take." Jiang Fan said.
In other words, it can be said that without the Funiu Mountains to rely on, Lu Wenhuan did not have the confidence to fight Zhang Jue again.
"Ai Buhua arrived in Yanjing with the soldiers and horses from Hetao. After His Majesty left, Kublai Khan changed his previous defensive attitude and began to launch a counterattack against our army."
Weng Yinglong sighed and said: "Marshal Lu, when I advised you that day, I never thought that Boyan would be defeated so quickly. I underestimated the King of Tang Dynasty's ignorance, but now it's not too late to regret it. I have realized it."
Wake up and come here to advise you."
"You don't have to persuade me." Lu Wenhuan said: "I will be born as a Song minister and die as a Song ghost!"
"Mr. Weng...Mr. Weng?"
Maybe he can join forces with Boyan to attack Zhang Jue... Maybe he can join forces with Zhang Jue to attack Boyan, but if he fails to deal with Boyan, he might just go south to rob him and take a detour from the Song Dynasty back to the north.
Weng Yinglong smiled and said: "Yes, Marshal Lu is still a Song minister now, so there is no rush."
"Exact words?" Lu Wenhuan's face turned cold.
"Mother, you told me that Li Xia will not let go of the Lu family."
Wang Yinglin came out with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "I ask your Majesty to issue an edict as soon as possible to canonize the princess of Song Dynasty as a concubine, and to announce to the world that Zhao Yu has regicide and usurped the throne..."
"As for Jia Sidao's official position, he can be named Wei Guogong, and he can serve as the official secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the envoy of the various provinces in Zhejiang and Zhejiang."
If the situation didn't reach that point, if he dared to mention it, the Lu family would kill him first.
"Marshal Zhang said that the Yuan army's offensive was rapid and violent, and that he did not have enough troops. He asked Your Majesty to mobilize troops and horses for support."
And he also wants to gain greater benefits.
When Lu Wenhuan was angry, he said: "Marshal Lu, please calm down. As the saying goes, this moment is the same as that moment."
But no matter how much he cursed, Weng Yinglong still looked calm and calm.
But when he saw the person clearly, he froze there for a moment.
In the distance, the sound of a scouting horse reporting back was heard, and Lu Wenhuan secretly said something bad.
Because he found that he couldn't sleep at all, he simply put on his armor, held his saber and went to the hall to see the messenger.
They also suspected that all this was fake, but Princess Rui was sitting there, and her expression could not be concealed, and she did not look like she was being held hostage at all.
His eyes widened and his neck leaned forward, feeling angry because what he was seeing was so ridiculous.
This is where his ability is far inferior to Zhang Jue.
Getting more and more angry.
He was not in a hurry because he knew that if he wanted to join the Tang Dynasty now, the Lu family would lose too many existing interests.
Li Xia then dismissed his ministers and met Lin Zi alone.
"Today...are you here to act as a lobbyist on behalf of the Tang Army?"
~~
On this day, after giving Weng Yinglong and Huang Gongshao an errand, Li Xia discussed it with Wang Yinglin, Jiang Fan and others for a long time. At the end of the discussion, he could finally breathe a little relieved.
"Oh, I couldn't help it."
"Call me again when it's time for a stick of incense."
In short, the army is now blocked in Songzhou. If you want to break out, you have to take a detour from the east to Xuzhou. The terrain there is flat, and Zhang Jue has cavalry and infantry, which gives him an advantage.
Lu Wenhuan suddenly realized that Boyan was a cavalryman and would not walk through the Funiu Mountains to meet him.
"Report!"
"Commander, the Tang Army has sent an envoy."
But he still took the document and after scanning it twice, his expression changed.
Lu Wenhuan took a big sip of wine and felt that the irritability in his heart had subsided a little.
Nowadays, the best Lu Wenhuan can do is wait and see.
"Marshal Lu, you are polite." Weng Yinglong cupped his hands and saluted.
Li Xia refused to answer them and turned to Zhao Jin and said, "No wonder Jia Qing has a talent for using people. There are many useful talents behind the scenes."
"yes."
It takes someone with an extremely strong mind, who is not trapped by external things, and has a long-term vision, to be willing to sacrifice the Lu family's overwhelming wealth now and give up the future of countless incompetent people in the Lu family to strive for a long-term goal.
s future.
After hearing this, the two aides, who had always been extremely smart, finally lost their ability to think.
Li Xia was still not surprised. He nodded and said, "I promised him that I would let Zhang Jue come up from Shandong Province after Boyan is annihilated."
"Your Majesty, Secretary Lin would like to see you."
"It's normal. It's not because I left. He ordered Boyan to attack our rear in Henan while sending troops to Yanjing. This is his strategy."
Although Lv Wenhuan had read books, he was still Lv Wende's younger brother. He got really angry and kept spewing vulgar words.
Weng Yinglong still had a modest smile on his face and said: "Marshal Lu, why don't you take a look at this first? This is your majesty's edict to the world."
At this time, there was another communication.
Lu Wenhuan wanted to speak, but the corner of his mouth twitched twice before saying, "Don't you think it's ridiculous?!"
"Tell him not to be impatient, grit his teeth and hold on, there will be results soon in the south."
Just looking at Lin Zi walking in with a letter, Li Xia said: "Bad news?"
"I can join forces with Boyan and defeat Zhang Jue."
"What are your conditions?"
"Simple, Marshal Zhang lets you return south, and you block the way to the west and south of Boyan."
"He wants to hurt both Boyan and me? Why?"
Speaking of it now, Weng Yinglong did not offer Lu Wenhuan any good conditions, but he still looked confident and said with a smile: "Marshal Lu, I have one last good word for you... The general trend of the world is coming, and if you follow it, you will prosper.
