The river breeze blew, and two figures fluttered in the wind.
Zuo Shiren held down the fluttered corners of his robe, and still had an elegant smile on his face.
"Then, we will hold an alliance meeting in Kezhou ten days later."
"Under the leadership of the leader of the Zuo Alliance, this time, the seven members of our alliance will definitely be able to eradicate the false emperor. By the way, the leader of the Zuo Alliance, Liangcao and Lingzhou Navy, when will they arrive in Kezhou."
Zuo Shiren's tone was calm, "After the alliance."
Old fox.
Xu Mu did not show any displeasure, "In this case, I, Xu Mu, will wait for the day of the alliance."
"Brother Xu, it's easy to say. You and I are like brothers, and Xishu Dongling is more like a lost brother. As long as Cangzhou is captured, you and I, brothers, can live as neighbors."
"That's great! When the time comes, I'll have drinks with the leader of the Left Alliance every day."
"It couldn't be better. I'll prepare banquets and dancing girls every day."
Zuo Shiren stood up, turned his head and looked at the water in the river, looking like he was going to act "compassionate" again.
"Leader Zuo, let's go." Xu Mu said loudly.
With the intention of playing another round, Zuo Shiren nodded, surrounded by many guards, and slowly walked towards the boat on the riverside.
"Brother Xu, don't forget that in Kezhou in ten days, we and the alliance will join forces to jointly carry out a righteous cause!"
"Remember."
Waiting for the boat to go away, Xu Mu had already put down his hand to say goodbye, and his expression was silent for a moment.
He did not ask how many troops the alliance had and how much food and grass it had collected. He understood that Zuo Shiren, an old fox, would not inform him before officially joining the alliance.
"Bo Lie, a small alliance that lives in a corner, in the final analysis, it's all Zuo Shiren's fault."
Si Hu pushed the wooden wheel cart in front of him. Dongfang Jing sat on the wooden wheel cart and spoke in a deep voice.
"My lord, in addition to Dongling of Xishu, this small alliance also has Qingzhou. The other people were probably brought in by Zuo Shiren to make up the number."
"Qingzhou Tang Family."
"The head of the family, Tang Yiyuan, should now be called the King of Qingzhou." As he spoke, Dongfang frowned and said, "During the alliance, the Tang family in Qingzhou, the Lord, must be careful about one person."
"who?"
"Tang Yiyuan's younger brother, Tang Wuyuan."
"Since the beginning of the Daji Dynasty in the Tang family of Qingzhou, there have been countless people who have ranked among the three nobles, but they chose to simplify their ways and take such a charming name."
"My lord, you should not be underestimated. Being a king from a literary and Confucian family must have a trump card."
"Indeed. The Tang Wuyuan mentioned in Bo Lie's words, if we meet at the alliance, we can't even recognize him."
Regardless of whether it is one yuan or five yuan, the entire Qingzhou Tang family has now joined the fight for hegemony. In the future, it is estimated that more characters will spring up one after another.
"Bo Lie, do you think it's possible to have all the princes in the world stop their troops and mobilize a coalition to deal with the two false emperors?"
Dongfang Jing thought for a while, "It should be impossible in a short time. Unless there is an opportunity for the entire Central Plains world to give up the selfish desire for hegemony. In these troubled times, if there are 30% of people who care about the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, how can they do it?
It became what it is now.”
"What Bollie said makes sense."
Previously, Demon Empress Su had seen through this and used the fuse to trigger the separatist struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. It was extremely difficult for Western Shu to break out of the six states under the watchful eyes of tigers and wolves.
...
Returning to the river in Lingzhou, the boat was moored at night.
Zuo Shiren, who was standing on the bow of the boat, was overjoyed, but his face was also full of coldness.
"The alliance has been formed, why is the lord not happy?" A staff member nearby caught a river fish at some time and was chattering in Zuo Shiren's ear.
"My lord, you can wait. I have caught a big fish. I will make fish soup later and have a drink with my lord to celebrate."
Zuo Shiren glanced at his eyes and held back the curse.
"I ask you, where does happiness come from?"
"Of course...it is a joy to have an alliance with Xishu."
"The joy of the alliance? Do you really think that Xu Buyi agreed to it just because the king took a boat? You are an aide after all, and you don't see a trace of the truth in this?"
The aide who was carrying the fish was shocked, abandoned the fish and hurriedly confessed.
Zuo Shiren raised his head, his face a little painful.
"I suddenly discovered something. If there is a big plan that can make decisions, no matter what you do, it will be much easier. Just like Xu Buyi, in the name of drinking, he must have asked his lame military advisor."
"But I, Zuo Shiren, who should I discuss with? There are three tower ships, more than a hundred warships, and thousands of people accompanying me, but no one can hold a candlelight night discussion with me to analyze the pros and cons."
Zuo Shiren closed his eyes.
"Do you think that Xu Buyi joined the alliance sincerely? It was just because of interests and a common enemy that he reluctantly joined the Dongling Alliance. I guess, in Xu Buyi's opinion, how many seats in the Dongling Alliance
People and horses are really out of his sight."
"But there is no other way. I, Zuo Shiren, want to take over the world. These two emperors are a step that cannot be taken."
"Pass my order to the three states of Dongling to immediately visit the famous talents! Once recruited, they will be promoted immediately regardless of the official system!"
"I, Zuo Shiren, don't believe it anymore. In this huge world, there are only five plans and six plans. I only need one, only one great sage who is good at making decisions. How can I, Zuo Shiren, worry about accomplishing great things!"
"Conquer Cangzhou, attack Laiyan again, and conquer the world as soon as we capture half of the south of the Yangtze River!"
"Lord... If we are in an alliance, will the pseudo-emperor Yuan Song launch an attack?" the fishing staff at the side asked hesitantly.
"He is not stupid. He wishes that the Dongling League and Cangzhou would fight fiercely and capture Cangzhou earlier, and then respect him as the orthodoxy."
Although he was defeated by Yuan Song's clever plan at the beginning of spring, Zuo Shiren was not depressed. Seriously speaking, this war should be attributed to underestimating the enemy. In addition, the Tang family in Qingzhou was ineffective and was actually returned to the army by Yuan Song.
The remnants of the army were beaten and abandoned their armor.
"Dog... dog's tail grass grows very well on the river bank. Yuan Song's army is not strong. If it weren't for the purpose of occupying the waterway first, I would have wanted to attack him a long time ago."
"But right now, Cangzhou is still the main focus. Xu Buyi's news should be true. The Demon Queen is secretly deploying troops. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep even if I think about it."
As he spoke, Zuo Shiren raised his hand and touched Jiang Feng and Ye Xie.
"You don't know, I, Zuo Shiren, really want to create a prosperous new dynasty. People in the world say that I am just trying to gain fame, but they really don't know that I really want to create a prosperous new dynasty."
"At that time, I will be recorded in the emperor's list in the bamboo books of later generations. Mingjun Zuo Shiren came out in troubled times, led a vast navy, settled in the south of the Yangtze River, defeated the two emperors, and swept the world."
for a long time.
Zuo Shiren retracted his movements, probably because he felt comfortable as he just said, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"I've even thought about the country's title and year, the official positions, the enthronement celebrations, and even the prince's name... I've thought about it."
