Li Fazhu's previous life was indeed the heroic Li Mi.
In the blink of an eye, with a little trickery, he took all the troops of Fengxiang and Hedong into his possession; this ability to make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess.
As a result, the faces of Yue Pengju and others became ugly, but they could only stare helplessly.
Some people may say, since we can't stop it, why not leave
But in fact, even if Yue Pengju and others turned around and left, it would not have much effect.
The hunting area is limited to the Kunming Lake area.
The area is only forty miles in radius. If Master Li can really succeed in forming a coalition, Yue Pengju and others will still have nowhere to hide in this palm-sized area.
Instead of leaving first, it is better to stay and see the result, so as to find out who will be won over by the other party.
First came Shi Hu, and then Li Cunxiao, who successively joined Li Fazhu's alliance; then, who would be Li Fazhu's next target
With such doubts, everyone couldn't help but look at this big liar; at this time, Master Li's eyes couldn't help but fall on a deep and burly general.
This man's name was Tian Yu, and he was a famous general under Yang Xingmi. In this hunting competition, the leading general of the Yangzhou hunting team was this man.
Li Fazhu looked at the other party and said politely: "This general is obviously a pillar of the army. He must be Tian Yu, the famous general in Huainan."
Seeing this capable man who won two battles and instantly won two strong teams with just his mouth looking at him, Tian Yu hurriedly said politely: "General Li, you are too kind. I am just Tian. I wonder if you can give me any advice?"
There was a reason why Tian Yu was so polite to Master Li.
On the one hand, the ability just demonstrated by the opponent made Tian Yu astonished and he had to admire him; on the other hand, Yang Xingmi controlled Huainan, and his situation was not much better than that of Zhu Quanzhong.
The entire Huainan Road, to its north, from west to east, was occupied by three major warlords, namely Qin Zongquan who ravaged Caizhou, Zhu Quanzhong who dominated Henan, and Han Zhi who stood firm in Xuzhou, all of whom were powerful vassal states.
In the southeast direction of Huainan Road, there is a very restless Liu Hanhong. These four major vassal states alone are enough to give Yang Xingmi a headache; now in the southwest direction of Huainan, Wang Yueyao suddenly rises like a comet in Jiangyou.
Li Fazhu was a smart and capable man. In less than three months, he had taken over all the 19 states in Jiangyou. Naturally, Yang Xingmi did not want to make enemies with him. Even Yang Xingmi, the boss, had this mentality. As a general under Yang Xingmi, how could Tian Yu dare to neglect Li Fazhu
Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, Master Li's expression flickered and he said calmly: "I don't deserve your advice, but I have a small request.
General, would you allow me to have a word with you?"
It turned out to be this request. Tian Yu agreed without hesitation and immediately bowed and said, "Why not, General Li, please."
"General Tian, you are too polite. Please go first. After all, it is Li who is rude first to ask for help." Since Tian Yu gave him face, Master Li would naturally return the favor.
The two of them performed this drama on the spot, and others were naturally confused.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of Yue Pengju and others, they naturally knew Master Li's intention; when the old thief Li asked Tian Yu to move away, he naturally wanted to persuade this person, but it was not convenient to do it in public.
Avoiding the crowd, Li Fazhu and Tian Yu walked to a secluded place. As soon as they stood there, he sighed: "I have heard that 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but only one rabbit it catches will die'. Mengchangjun got Feng Huan, who served as the prime minister of Qi."
"It can be seen that whether it is being a person or doing things, we must leave some room for maneuver. Do you agree with this, General Tian?"
Tianji
Hearing this, his heart moved, and he thought to himself: What does this old fellow mean? Does he want him to "be in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han"
Suspicious, Tian Yu frowned and asked doubtfully, "General Li, if you have something to say, please speak frankly. Please forgive Tian's stupidity. I don't know what the general wants to do."
Playing dumb
Seeing that the other party was asking a question that he already knew the answer to, Master Li snorted secretly. According to the information he had received, although Tian Yu was an old friend of Yang Xingmi, Yang Xingmi did not like him.
There was no other reason. This man was extremely ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others, which naturally made Yang Xingmi unhappy.
In real history, Tian Yu had an affair with Zhu Quanzhong, and later rebelled against Yang Xingmi, but was defeated and killed. In this time and space, Tian Yu's character seemed to have not changed at all, but his signs of having second thoughts were noticed by the old fox Li Fazhu.
Since he knew that Tian Yu had two minds, as a qualified lobbyist, how could Li Fazhu not make use of him
"I have heard that the general once asked for Chi and She states from General Manager Yang, thinking that they would be annexed states, but was rejected by General Manager Yang. Could this be a rumor?" Master Li asked in surprise.
When these words came out, Tian Yu's heart trembled.
No wonder this Mr. Li advised himself to leave a way out. It turned out that this embarrassing incident had leaked the news.
"General Li is truly an amazing person. He even knows such trivial matters. I really admire him." Upon hearing this, Tian Yu was slightly displeased and made a sarcastic remark.
"General, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Although what I did was reckless, I have been friends with my family's steward since childhood. Things like this happen from time to time. It doesn't mean anything, right?"
It doesn't mean anything, Master Li laughed secretly, it is precisely because you are old friends that you will feel particularly embarrassed once you are rejected by the other party.
He just didn't believe that Tian Yu had no complaints against Yang Xingmi because of this incident.
"General, you are a deep and generous person. These trivial matters are naturally nothing to you. But do you know what others will think?" Li Fazhu said meaningfully.
Since Tian Yu has a thorn in his heart because of this matter, then Master Li will continue to poke at this thorn. He does not believe that Tian Yu can endure the depression.
"Looking back on the general's life, he captured Yangzhou and defeated the bandits in Bi; he captured Zhao Xun and conquered Xuanzhou. He was brave and brave among the three armies, and he was always the first in every battle. What does it matter if General Yang assigns the two states of Chi and She to the general?"
"But General Manager Yang just doesn't want to assign these two states to the general. The reason behind this is really hard to guess. General Tian, there is a saying that goes, it's easy to share weal and woe, but difficult to share wealth!" Master Li sighed with ulterior motives.
It has to be said that Master Li was a very shrewd man. With just a few words, he hit the sore spot of Tian Yu.
Tian Yu was originally an extremely ambitious person. Since he followed Yang Xingmi, he has been always at his service and has made countless achievements.
Nowadays, his old brother Yang Xingmi has already become a powerful figure in a region; and although his current status has risen along with his old brother, he is still living under someone else's roof after all, and he naturally feels aggrieved.
In addition, he had previously asked his old brother for two states as his own vassal states, but was rejected by his old brother. How could he not feel aggrieved
In the words of later generations, "Comparing people will make you angry; comparing goods will make you throw them away."
When they were poor, no one was nobler than anyone else. He and Yang Xingmi could each get a chicken leg when they stole a chicken. However, once they became rich, the simple friendship of "what's mine is yours" no longer existed.
Yang Xingmi and Tian Yu both came from grassroots backgrounds; the difference was that Yang Xingmi was a rogue, while Tian Yu was well versed in classics and history, and had great ambitions.
Now the scoundrels have become the governors, and he, a man who can read and write, can only "work" for them. This tone, Tian
Naturally, I can't swallow it.
In fact, sometimes, it is better for people to be down-to-earth; the success of most people is not accidental. Even if the other party is just an illiterate rogue, if he succeeds, it means that the other party must have something extraordinary.
In later generations, many top students from famous universities could only sell pork after graduation; and there were also many people who did not even graduate from elementary school who became extremely wealthy.
In a word, if you have the ability, you also need a stage to display it; if you have the stage to display it, you also need a little luck; so what if you are a college student, you just have a good starting point.
Once you leave school, if you don't have a stage or luck, you will still be miserable.
Tian Yu, a talented and ambitious young man, was indeed much less fortunate than Yang Xingmi.
Perhaps, it was because of his bad luck that he was defeated and killed in real history.
In fact, as long as you stay in your position and do your job well and make it known to everyone, you can still be remembered for generations. Why do you have to rebel and lose your life in vain
This is reasonable, but Tian Yu just can't understand it; now, hearing Master Li provoking the thorn in his heart again and again, the depression in his heart instantly reached its peak.
"I am deeply grateful for General Li's kindness. But if it is according to General Li's wishes, what should I do?" When his depression reached its peak, Tian Yu finally stopped hiding his thoughts.
It's not that he is not calm enough, but that Master Li is too sinister and cunning; he is even more cruel and thick-skinned than a shameless hooligan.
If you observe your surroundings carefully and observe every detail in your life, you will find an interesting phenomenon.
Those gentle and virtuous girls are always in the arms of ruffians and hooligans; while the wives of honest men are not only ugly but also have bad tempers.
In fact, this is true. A good girl is afraid of a clinging man. A shameless gangster who keeps pestering her will naturally win the girl's heart. However, an honest man is thin-skinned and can't bring himself to do that. So when he finally musters up the courage and wants to confess his love, he finds that the girl he likes has a child who is about to go to college.
When faced with the gangster-like Li Fazhu, no matter how tight-lipped Tian Yu was, he was finally pried open by him.
As soon as he saw the other party give in, Li Fazhu's eyes immediately brightened, and he instantly became energetic, and hurriedly said: "The general is both civil and military, and is feared by Huainan; but he is servile to a master who is illiterate, stingy and suspicious. Sooner or later, trouble will arise."
"If the general trusts me, as long as the general helps me in this hunting competition, I will definitely recommend you to my chief steward."
"At that time, the general will come to serve in Jiangyou. Not to mention the territories of just two states, even if the general wants to become a governor in the future, it is not a bad idea."
"I am not talking nonsense. My family's steward is destined to be a wise and capable ruler who will conquer the world. By then, with your talent as a general, will you be afraid that you will not be able to hold a high position?" Master Li spoke with conviction.
Upon hearing this, Tian Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Master Li intently.
In his mind, he couldn't help but compare Yang Xingmi and Wang Yueyao; this comparison showed that the gap between the two was really huge.
Yang Xingmi worked hard for half his life, and by chance, he occupied most of Huainan Road and controlled more than a dozen prefectures and counties.
However, Wang Yueyao occupied the entire Jiangnan West Road, a total of 19 states, in less than three months.
In terms of territory, Yang Xingmi had half as much as others, but it took him dozens of times longer to capture prefectures and counties. After making this comparison, he found that Yang Xingmi was not even worthy of carrying shoes for Wang Yueyao.
Rather than being wronged under the command of a rough guy, it would be better to follow Wang Yueyao, the fair, rich and beautiful woman. As soon as the thought came to Tian Yu, he made the decision instantly.
