The letter king Zhao Zhen knows that Ji Qianqian is a bit arrogant. With her high IQ, Ji Qianqian has changed from a female master who only understands gunpowder to a female Zhuge, even if she is not good at some intrigues. Things are also well done. I am afraid that even if Elder Wu came to do this, it would not be much better than Ji Qianqian. Immediately he comforted: "Qianqian, don't say that, I think you handled it very well. Those old foxes are indeed a little harder to deal with."
After listening to Wang Zhaozhen’s advice, Ji Qianqian's face finally improved, but she clenched her fist hard, waved it in the air, and said, "I underestimated that Cao Chengzai. I didn't expect this old thing to be the only one. It's a real old fox. That Shitengshan is the guise that this old fox puts on the bright surface. If you want this old fox to loose its mouth, I'm afraid you have to work hard.
That's right, the way that Ji Qianqian came up with to the letter king Zhao Zhen was to contact Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan in the Guiyang army, a line of civilian officers in the Guiyang army. Originally, the situation of the Guiyang Army was that Master Xue joined forces with Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan to suppress the historical control faction, but because of the offensive of the King Zhao Zhen, Master Xue had to re-use the historical control system that was good at fighting.
The management of Master Xue's re-use of historical control will surely make the people of Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan feel dissatisfied. When they believed in Wang Zhaozhen and chose to attack the Guiyang Army first, didn't they just take a fancy to Guiyang Army's current internal contradictions and weaknesses. Now that the war is at a stalemate, it is natural to make good use of this weakness.
It's just that everything was not going as smoothly as Ji Qianqian imagined. Then Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan had already prepared for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to contact them, which made the people sent by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen a disadvantage from the beginning.
These days, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen has always been in a passive situation, and Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan spoke loudly from the beginning. It's okay to welcome the letter Wang Zhaozhen to join the Guiyang army, but the credible Wang Zhaozhen has to give them a lot of benefits. And there are many conditions that Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't agree to at all. Because of this, the secret negotiations between the two sides finally reached a deadlock.
The letter king Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "We have to speed up. The news of the capture of Linjiang Military City will definitely not be blocked for long. If they know the news of Linjiang Military City, not only will they not back down, they might even make progress. Therefore, we must rush to finalize this matter before they don’t know about the Linjiang Army’s battle."
Ji Qianqian also nodded in agreement, thinking about it, but couldn't think of a good way. In the end, Ji Qianqian gritted her teeth and said to the letter Wang Zhao Zhen: "Otherwise, just let me go personally. Guiyang Army. There are some things, it is indeed a little troublesome to rely on this letter to communicate."
"No." Ji Qianqian made such a suggestion, but it shocked Xinwang Zhaozhen. She quickly shook her head like a rattle, and directly rejected the suggestion. Ji Qianqian is the baby of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's pimple. Naturally, Ji Qianqian can't let Ji Qianqian go into danger in any way. The letter king Zhao Zhen said directly: "If you are allowed to go, it is better to let me go to the Guiyang Army personally."
"That won't work." Ji Qianqian refused to agree with Wang Zhao Zhen's suggestion. "How noble is the true identity of an adult? How can I go deep into the dangerous place?"
After the two vetoed each other’s proposal, it was even more difficult to handle now. Now that the Guiyang Army has problems, no one who can handle things goes to Guiyang Army, Cao Chengzai, and Shi Tengshan. They coordinate. Just relying on this letter to communicate, there are many things that can't be explained clearly. If this continues to be delayed, even if there is no change on Liu Guang's side, this will happen in the Guiyang Army.
The two stared at them for a long time, but they didn't think of a good way to come. At this moment, they heard a voice outside the door, but it was Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's personal soldier leader Wang Ji who shouted outside the door: "My lord, General Xia Wenruo asks to see you."
"Xia Wenruo?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen frowned, and then I remembered that Xia Wenruo was sent to inspect outside by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen two days ago, and has never come back, not even attending the meeting just now. I'm back now. This is to report the results of this inspection to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen first nodded to Ji Qianqian, this matter can only be put aside temporarily, and then shouted at Wang Di outside the door: "Please come in."
Ji Qianqian also got up, bowed to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and left. Not long after, Xia Wenruo, dressed in a uniform, entered the hall, fisted at the letter king Zhao Zhen and shouted: "I will see the lord in the end."
The letter king Zhao Zhen looked at the somewhat thin officer and soldier in front of him. After Xia Wenruo took refuge in the account of the letter king Zhao Zhen, the letter king Zhao Zhen also specifically asked Wang Hu about Xia Wenruo. Later, I learned that this Xia Wenruo had received the instruction of Thunderbolt and Archery by Zhao Gou's first fierce general in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Don't look at the Yingshan army camp, Lei Hongbao was beaten away by the three people, Zhao Zhen, Shan Hongfei, and Lin Yuhu who did not do their best, but Lei Hongbao's archery skills were top-notch. I'm afraid that compared to Shan Hongfei's archery skills in Huazhonglong, it might as well be more. Xia Wenruo had actually accepted Lei Hongbao's archery instruction, and Xia Wenruo's archery skills were evident. No wonder there would be such an outstanding performance on the battlefield.
Now Xia Wenruo is under the account of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen knows that this Xia Wenruo has a calm nature, but he can be regarded as a rare general. Therefore Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also pays special attention to him, and specially handed the archers left by Shan Hongfei to Xia Wenruo. Take care of.
These thoughts flashed in his mind, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen looked at Xia Wenruo, who was kneeling in front of him, and said: "General Xia don't have to be polite, get up."
"Master Xie." Xia Wenruo drank again, and then stood up and fisted and shouted at the letter king Zhao Zhen: "Return to the Lord. At the end of this time, I will go to the west of Chenzhou by the order of the adults. Now the task has been completed, I will come to Xiang Your lord reports."
"Yeah." The letter king Zhao Zhen also knew the reason for Xia Wenruo's visit this time, nodded, first signaled Xia Wenruo to find a place to sit down, and then said faintly, "What did General Xia find during this inspection?"
After Xia Wenruo sat down, he straightened his waist all the time, and said solemnly to Xinwang Zhao Zhen: "Return to Sir. The final general did not meet with the enemy during this tour, so nothing was discovered. It's just that the final general is here this time. On the way back, he accidentally caught a scholar who was passing by. At that time, the general mistakenly thought that they were spies sent by the Guiyang army. Later, after careful investigation by the general, he figured out that it was a misunderstanding. It’s just that I’ll see that the scholar speaks extraordinary, as if he has some talent, so I’ll bring the scholar back and give it to the adults."
Hearing what Xia Wenruo said, the letter king Zhao Zhen suddenly felt dumbfounded. When Xia Wenruo dared to see other talented scholars, he even forcibly arrested him. This barbaric practice, speaking of it, really fits the style of their former officers and generals. But after hearing Xia Wenruo's words, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was also a little interested, and asked: "Oh? What kind of scholar is it?"
Xia Wenruo still had the look of neither humble nor arrogant one, and said: "This scholar is less than 20 years old. He seems to be from the south of the Yangtze River to hear him, but his eloquence is very good. Well, it seems to be Cheng Wanli."
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen thought for a while, then summoned this person. Unexpectedly, this Cheng Wanli was a talent sent to help him by Sima Gao Yunfei, the marching Sima Gao Yunfei of the commander-in-chief of Wang Jun.
The reason why he volunteered to come here was naturally because the Wugong Mountain Volunteers were soldiers and horses of the Xinwang Army in the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Wugong Mountain Army never looted the people. And the scholar’s words were sharp, Wang Zhaozhen looked at him, smiled slightly, and moved a thought in his heart.
"The name of the person Wugongshan sent to negotiate is Cheng Wanli?" Shi Tengshan frowned and turned to look at Cao Chengzai who was sitting in the main seat. He seemed to be waiting for Cao Chengzai's decision. Shi Tengshan, a group of Guiyang army civil servants sitting in the hall all looked towards Cao Chengzai. At this moment, Cao Chengzai no longer looked like the old man he had when he was in the mansion, stroked his beard with one hand, his eyes flashed from time to time.
Cao Chengzai did not speak, but looking at his appearance, everyone knew that he might have never heard of this person, and slowly lowered his head again. Up to now, Shi Tengshan couldn't figure out why Cao Chengzai would rather give up the manager Xue, who has been supporting for so many years, and turn to Zhao Yan. I don't know why, but Cao Chengzai made this decision without any hesitation. He even deliberately pushed Master Xue to the side of historical control at the previous meeting, completely cutting off their back.
That's right. After the meeting that day ended, Cao Chengzai deliberately called Shi Tengshan to his house for a discussion. Shi Tengshan learned that at the meeting, Cao Chengzai deliberately asked Master Xue to reuse the historical control. Even today, what Shi Tengshan said to Cao Chengzai that day is still fresh in his memory.
"Could it be that you are so naive to think that if we don't take the initiative, Master Xue will not fall to the historical control side? No matter whether the old man will do that, how can he use Master Xue's eyesight? I don’t know, to resist the invasion of the Wugong Mountain Army, you can only rely on the soldiers and horses controlled by history? Do you think that Master Xue will give up this only way out because of his scrutiny for us? The old behavior today will actually let the experience pass. It makes Master Xue and Shi control think that we have no threat for the time being, and relax our vigilance against us. In this way, it will be easier for us to plan for the future."
Recalling what Cao Chengzai said, Shi Tengshan was not a fool, and he naturally understood what Cao Chengzai said. However, the changes in the following period of time made Master Xue's heart cold by Shi Tengshan's thorough confrontation with Jinglue. Under the acquiescence of the economic envoy Xue Daren, the historical control system used the excuse of resisting the Wugong Mountain Army and replaced all the defensive generals of the Guiyang Army with his own confidantes. Over the years, Shi Tengshan has finally been in the Guiyang Army. China took a place, and now it's all over. In the face of historical control, Master Xue was indifferent and did not miss old feelings at all. Now Shi Tengshan completely lost confidence in Master Xue, which was caused by the economics.
Since this is the case, then taking refuge in Wugong Mountain is the only way out for Shiteng Mountain now. The problem is that before taking refuge in Wugong Mountain, you should first determine how many benefits you have. Benefits are always the first choice of the aristocratic family. If there is not enough benefit, even if it is the death of Master Xue and the historical control system, the Guiyang army family behind Shi Tengshan will not choose to go to Wugong Mountain. of.
And everything is as estimated by Cao Chengzai before, after the Wugong Mountain Army was blocked by soldiers and horses led by the historical control system, it really sent people to the Guiyang Army. In the previous discussions with the Guiyang army envoy, the two sides did not reach an agreement, but for this, Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan were not in a hurry. The longer it drags on, the greater the losses suffered by the Wugong Mountain Army, and the greater the importance of the Guiyang Army civilian officers of the Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan faction. That will only allow them to participate in the next negotiations. Take the initiative more and more.
And just yesterday, upon receiving the news, the Wugong Mountain Army sent people again, but unlike the previous messengers, this time it seemed that someone had been sent to discuss the matter with them. It’s just that this person named Cheng Wanli, Shi Tengshan and everyone present are completely ignorant, but Shi Tengshan knows that he can be selected by Zhao Yan to send Guiyang army at this time, this Cheng Wanli is definitely not simple.
At this time, Cao Chengzai seemed to have given up thinking about Cheng Wanli's identity, and said to his servant: "In this case, all the adults are here, you can let someone bring him."
"Yes, my lord." The servant can be regarded as the core member of the faction of Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan. Not only him, but all the people present are the adherents of Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan. Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan did not hide this matter from everyone present. These Guiyang Army officials are all human beings. In the past, they were attached to Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan. It has already been branded by the faction of Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan. If Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan collapse, they will have no good results. Therefore, even if they had learned the news, none of the people in the room had thought about going to the manager, Mr. Xue, to report it.
After the servants retreated, Chen Huang, the summer envoy of the Guiyang military service, said to everyone: "If you don’t guess wrong, this is Cheng Wanli, I’m afraid it’s a lobbyist sent by Wugong Mountain. When he comes, we First think of an idea to suppress the spirit of suppressing this person."
Chen Huang's idea was also approved by everyone, but Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan, who were the heads of the crowd, were noncommittal. The two looked at each other and they were silent. Although the rise of Wugong Mountain Zhao Yan has only been in the past few months, both of them knew that Zhao Yan was absolutely extraordinary. What they care most about is that the Wugong Mountain Army is said to have a background of believing in the King's Army. Not because of this, Cao Chengzai will not change his camp to support the anti-thief Wugong Mountain Rebel Army.
Now that the war is so stalemate, the letter king Zhao Zhen sent this person named Cheng Wanli. It seems that Cheng Wanli should have some ability, and he will have to deal with it later. As for Chen Huang's suggestion, although Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan didn't think it had any effect, they might as well let them try this Cheng Wanli's jinliang.
Everyone discussed for a while, and it didn't take long before the old servant brought a young literati. Seeing that the Lord was coming, everyone hurriedly sat upright, without squinting, waiting for the old servant to come in with the man named Cheng Wanli.
Naturally, the old servant didn’t know what plans the adults had, so after leading the young literati into the hall, he first bowed his hand to Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan, and said, "Master Cao, Master Shi, I will follow you. Mr. Cheng from Wugong Mountain brought it."
After the servant finished speaking, the young literati behind the servant also took a step forward, bowed his hands to everyone, and said loudly: "I have seen all the adults of the Guiyang Army in my next journey."
"This is Zhao Yan's messenger Cheng Wanli?" When everyone saw Cheng Wanli's appearance, their faces were full of disbelief. Although the servant had said before that this Cheng Wanli was less than twenty years old, everyone was surprised when they saw Cheng Wanli's too young face. I am afraid that they have never seen such a young messenger. And because Cheng Wanli was so young, in everyone's minds, he couldn't help expressing a bit of contempt.
However, Cao Chengzai and Shi Tengshan did not have this idea. On the contrary, they had more scruples in their hearts. This Cheng Wanli was so young that he could be appointed as a messenger by the leader of Wugongshan Xinwang Zhao Zhen. This can only explain one reason, that is, this Cheng Wanli does have abilities beyond ordinary people and must not be underestimated.
