Chapter 60 Finally Come Someone Who Doesn't Buy It
Chapter 60 Finally, someone doesn’t buy it
Inside the handsome tent.
Wu Sangui sat in the center of the upper hand, with Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo on the left, Liu Zeqing and his fourth brother Wu Sanfu on the right.
At first glance, those who didn’t know better thought Wu Sangui was the coach and the four of them were his generals.
However, the fact is that Wu Sangui, in addition to having the title of general, is one level higher than the three others, and his official position is also the first-grade general military officer.
It can be said that there is no power to control the three of them, and the three of them have no need to buy Wu Sangui's account.
After a while of exchanging cups and cups and complimenting each other.
Wu Sangui seemed to have remembered something, and ordered to the guard outside the door: "Go to the city quickly and inform General Red to send General Huang and General Liu's food, grass and pay as soon as possible."
"Yes, Marshal."
The guards immediately clasped their fists in agreement and ducked out of the tent.
Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo had just arrived. Not knowing the situation, they only thought that the red general was Wu Sangui's subordinate. For the time being, Wu Sangui was the leader in Tongzhou.
Just as the five people were drinking, the soldiers came back to report: "To report to the commander-in-chief, the red general said that the two commander-in-chiefs have not yet arrived, so they cannot allocate food and grass. As for the military pay, they will have to wait until His Majesty orders it."
Snapped!
"How dare a mere bandit be so arrogant?"
"Why do we have to wait for His Majesty's decree? It's obviously an excuse to try to embezzle the food, grass and military pay that His Majesty has allocated to us! It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others..."
Wu Sangui stood up in anger, slammed the wine jar on the ground, and roared angrily.
This scene shocked both Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, but more importantly, Monk Zhang Er was confused. He wondered why Wu Sangui was so crazy.
"Wu Hou, is this...?"
"You two don't know that Tongzhou City is now occupied by a group of rebel thieves who have just surrendered. The leader of the thieves, the Red Lady, is only a woman, but she is very arrogant and does not take us seriously at all."
"When the Marquis of Wu went south to pursue the intruders, His Majesty heard that the slaves were attacking again, so he showed mercy and ordered the bandits who were scattered around the capital to surrender, and then let them build a camp in Tongzhou."
"Who would have thought that the red lady was so ambitious that when we arrived, not only would we not be allowed to enter the camp, but she would also try to take for herself the hundreds of thousands of grains and two million taels of silver that His Majesty allocated."
"If Marquis Wu and I had not arrived in time, these rebels would have fled with the money and food. The most hateful thing is that last night, she contacted Gao Jie and wanted to attack me and Marquis Wu. If we had not been on guard, we might not have been able to survive.
Big loss."
Liu Zeqing patiently explained to the two of them on the sidelines, insisting that the black one be white.
After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other in shock. Neither of them expected that the situation in Tongzhou was so complicated. However, both of them were human beings, so naturally they would not listen to Liu Zeqing's words.
Liu Liangzuo's eyes rolled around, and his whole mind was attracted by the huge amount of food, grass and military pay.
Huang Degong frowned slightly and raised his fist at Wu Sangui: "Wu Hou, didn't your Majesty appoint a supervisor to oversee the army to control and coordinate the armies in Tongzhou?"
"Alas! Brother Huang doesn't know something..."
Facing Huang Degong, who was full of doubts, Wu Sangui sighed, and then explained to him many things that had happened in the capital recently.
"Brothers, I estimate that Your Majesty will not send a civilian official to serve as the supervisor this time. Even the eunuchs who supervise the army will find it difficult to find suitable candidates. Most likely, he will choose a loyal and good general from among you to be the commander!"
After Wu Sangui finished explaining, Wu Sanfu interrupted at the right time.
That means that His Majesty will appoint his second brother Wu Sangui as the head coach and control the general troops in each town.
"Haha, if this is true, it will be a blessing to our generals. As I see below, this commander must be none other than Wu Hou!"
"Yes, looking at the Ming Dynasty, besides Wu Hou, who else can take on this important task?"
The three commander-in-chiefs were not fools either, and they all said: Anyway, the people carrying the sedan chair are just talking, and they will not damage any soldiers or generals.
"Alas! Don't make fun of the three of you. How virtuous and capable is Wu? Can An be responsible for this important task?"
"Your Majesty has made his own decision on this matter. We don't have to worry about it. The top priority is to solve the hidden dangers of the Red Lady, Gao Jie and others as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a disaster sooner or later!"
Wu Sangui first waved his hand and said modestly, and then his face darkened.
"Then I don't know what I should do based on Wu Hou's opinion?"
Liu Liangzuo asked with burning eyes, why don't you understand Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing's plans?
The two of them clearly wanted to plot against the red lady's troops and peep at the money and food in the city, but their troops were limited and they couldn't get it, or Gao Jie betrayed him midway, so they rushed to meet him and Huang Degong.
But even if he guessed it, he would naturally not refuse such a good thing. After all, Gao Jie and Red Lady were only surrendered to generals, so killing them would not be a big deal.
"The Red Lady and Gao Jie are both repeating villains. They were forced to submit due to the situation. If they were left alone, they would most likely run away or directly switch sides when the time came to fight the Tatars.
So what I want to say is, why not take advantage of the fact that before the Tatars arrive, we can combine our forces in the four towns and conquer them first. After that, we will share the troops and horses equally between the two of us, as well as the money and food in the city."
"Wu Hou, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. In any case, the red lady is your Majesty's personal protector general. Not to mention that she is still relatively stable now. She is just a woman. Even if she is a child, if she really wants to take money and food and run away, we will wait.
We should also warn Your Majesty first that if you are following your orders, how can you join forces and attack them without authorization?"
"Huang does not agree with such highly treasonous and unethical things. Please say goodbye!"
As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, Huang Degong stood up, spoke righteously, and finally walked away.
"Brother Huang, wait a minute..."
"Brother Huang stayed here. We are all brothers. We can discuss things easily. Isn't Marquis Wu considering everyone's safety?"
Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing quickly stood up and stepped forward to stop and persuade.
"Even if you have all kinds of reasons, you can't ignore the court's laws like this. Tongzhou is only a hundred miles away from Beijing. Do you think you have the slightest bit of a saint in your eyes when you act like this?"
Huang Degong gasped for breath and finally raised his hands toward the north, his face turned ashen.
"Brother Huang, this is too much!"
The two of them were a little unhappy when they saw Huang Degong going online.
At this time, Wu Sangui's face had already turned the color of pig liver. His expression changed a few times before he stood up and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying: "Brother Huang's words are reasonable. The lesson is that Wu did not think carefully about this matter. I hope...
Forgive me!"
"Second brother must have drunk too much."
"Yes, yes, Wu Hou, your ability to drink is not good."
"Ha ha…"
Everyone tried to smooth things over for a while, and then Huang Degong sat back down. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became much better.
Wu Sangui once again proposed that the four of them should jointly petition His Majesty to impeach the Red Lady. Huang Degong did not refuse this time. After all, it was inappropriate for the life of the army to be in the hands of a general and his wife.
After the memorial was drafted, it was immediately sent to the capital. Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo also said goodbye and returned to the camp.
After all three people left, Wu Sangui finally exploded, violently overturned the case to the ground, and said bitterly: "I'm so angry, that Huang Degong is so pedantic..."
"Second brother, that Huang Degong doesn't know how to praise him, why don't I lead someone to catch him up now..."
As Wu Sanfu said this, he wiped his neck.
"Stupid, if you catch him now and rob and kill him, everyone will know that it was me, Wu Sangui, who sent people to do it. Why don't you use your brain? Besides, this Huang Degong is no better than other generals, and he must not act randomly!"
Wu Sangui cursed, somewhat hating that iron could not become steel.
The red lady and Gao Jie were killed as soon as they were surrendered. When His Majesty found out, he just scolded them and didn't really care.
But this Huang Degong, like Zhou Yuji, was born in the Yongwei camp and was a serious soldier of the emperor.
The weight in His Majesty's heart cannot be compared to that of ordinary generals like Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing.
From that Zhou Yuji and Tang Tong entered the Wei capital together and were both chief military officers, but their treatment was very different, it can be seen that His Majesty trusted and valued the general who came from the Yongwei camp.
No matter what excuse he finds to kill Huang Degong, it will violate His Majesty's taboo. Unless he wants to rebel, he must not move.
Even before he convinced Huang Degong, he didn't dare to secretly attack Hong Niangzi and Gao Jie again.
Otherwise, once that guy secretly tells His Majesty some arrangements, his impression in His Majesty's mind will be greatly reduced, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Second brother, what should we do?"
"Now that things have come to an end, we can only wait. After His Majesty appoints me as the Superintendent, I will have a righteous reputation. If the Tatars come, I have all the means to kill the three of them and make people speechless!"
Wu Sangui waved his hands and said with a ruthless expression.
He had no doubt that His Majesty would appoint him as Superintendent, but it would only be a matter of time.
