Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy governed the state as Luzhou, and the whole territory of Weibo was captured by the Pinglu army. The news had already spread here. Kang Chengqian, the envoy of Zhaoyi Jiedu who has been paying close attention to the Weibo battle, has been discussing with his confidantes and generals how to deal with it these days.
Unlike Cao Zhongming, a soldier who started his own army, Kang Chengqian was born as a scholar, and he didn't have so much domineering spirit, but he looked more like a middle-aged Confucian scholar.
He looked at the staff in the hall with a worried face, and said frowningly: "King An has assembled an army in Weizhou, and he will arrive in Zhaoyi soon. What to do, what do you think, for this sake, but it doesn’t matter.”
This topic has been discussed many times, and at different times, the opinions of the staff are also different. In the beginning, everyone's opinion was similar to Wei Bo's, they all felt that the time of great struggle was a time for great achievements, and King An should not be allowed to enter the country, putting Zhaoyi in danger.
Li Ye was ordered to march into Hedong. Although his division was well-known, outsiders didn't buy it at all. Li Ye, the Shangshu Ling who governed Shandong, and the Dutong who controlled the world's soldiers and horses, didn't take it seriously.
After all, after the Huangchao Rebellion, everyone no longer paid attention to the imperial court, and now all they looked at was their strength, so naturally they would not pay attention to the false names of the imperial court.
After Kang Chengqian asked the question, all the staff in the hall turned their eyes to an old man with a dignified look. That was Shi, the Chief of the Jiedu Envoy, Kang Xigui, who counted as Kang Chengqian's uncle, who had always held a high position in Zhaoyi, and even Kang Chengqian had to respect him. He didn't speak, and everyone dared not speak nonsense.
Prior to this, Kang Xigui had a very tough attitude and advocated occupying troops outside his jurisdiction.
Kang Xigui's reason was very good. Even if the Pinglu army did not seek justice, it would be a military disaster. Who knows what troubles will arise? If Li Ye took a tough attitude and asked Zhaoyi's army to fight together in the name of the imperial court and asked Zhaoyi to provide food and grass, would Zhaoyi obey orders? Therefore, Kang Xigui believes that he should keep in touch with Hedong and refuse to flatten the Lu army.
Of course, Zhaoyi cannot allow the Hedong Army to enter the country, so once the Zhaoyi Army fights with the Pinglu Army, Li Keyong must be asked to provide the Zhaoyi Army with food, fodder and ordnance. This is also the reason why the envoy from Hedong came to the Jiedu envoy's mansion.
Every time after Kang Xigui's impassioned speeches, he would end with the same eight words: It's better to be broken than to be whole!
Sensing that everyone was looking over, Kang Xigui, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, slowly opened them. Although he is old, he is still strong, especially his eyes, which always reveal a majestic light that cannot be disobeyed.
At this moment, Kang Xigui looked around at everyone, still with the attitude of righteousness and words, and the words he said were loud and loud: "This old man suggests, welcome King An to enter!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.
Most of the staff members' faces were surprised and shocked, and some people's eyes were confused, as if they were wondering whether they had heard wrong, or whether Kang Xigui had said something wrong. But looking at Kang Xigui's awe-inspiring face, how could it be that he said something wrong
Everyone looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. It's not that no one had this proposal before, but it definitely couldn't be Kang Xigui. Before that, no one would think that Kang Xigui would make such a proposal.
The judge of the Jiedu Mansion was uncertain: "Changshi means that Zhaoyi not only did not resist the Pinglu army, but also took the initiative to welcome King An into the country?"
Kang Xigui snorted coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with the judge's suspicion, which was the same as questioning his old eyesight. In fact, Kang Xigui is a strong man in the ninth level of Qi training. His dissatisfied cold snort brought out the strength of his cultivation, and immediately filled the hall with oppression.
Only then did the aides affirm Kang Xigui's opinion. Not only did their doubts disappear, but they were even more puzzled.
Kang Xigui bowed his hands to Kang Chengqian, and what he said next caused an uproar in the hall, and he said solemnly: "Not only must we welcome, but the Lian envoy will go to the border to greet him in person!"
"What, envoy Lian welcomes you in person?"
"Not out of the city to meet each other, but to the border?"
"The gift of welcome, thirty miles out of the city, is already as high as the sky, and this time let the envoy Lian go to the border?!"
The staff members could no longer suppress the shock in their hearts, they whispered to each other and talked a lot.
When Kang Chengqian heard this, although he was also puzzled, he didn't show any special expression, just smiled wryly.
A young officer who joined the army stood up and clasped his fists at Kang Chengqian and the others. With an excited expression on his face, he said impassionedly: "The chief minister's words, the officials don't agree! The troubled times are approaching now, the imperial court exists in name only, who is the strongest in the world? Not the Xuanwu Army, not the Pinglu Army, but the Hedong Army! Why? Hedong is a vast area, with eleven prefectures, and a large population! The Hedong Army has 300,000 soldiers, and there is also the Daibei Army, which is particularly powerful , and Shatuo Jingqi, invincible!"
"Hedong is the land of the Three Jins. It has a favorable location, overlooking the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Taiyuan Mansion is a place with deep walls and deep trenches, where soldiers are extremely dangerous! In this way, King An only brought one hundred thousand Pinglu troops. Why dare to say attack? He asked Li Keyong to go to Qingzhou to report on his duties. Why do this?"
"There is no other reason. Entering Hedong is just an excuse. King An's real intention is to use the name of sending troops to Hedong to annex neighboring towns and expand his own power!"
"King An and Li Keyong have always had a feud, and this time sending troops, in the final analysis, is just a personal grudge! Right now, he just wants to occupy the two towns of Weibo and Zhaoyi, so as to lay the foundation for a real confrontation with Li Keyong in the future! Therefore, King An's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed! He must not be allowed to enter Zhaoyi! If the Lian envoy welcomes the Pinglu army into Zhaoyi, how is it different from leading a wolf into the house? If so, Zhaoyi is in danger!"
The words of recording affairs and joining the army are spoken in cadences and emotions, which can be said to be reasonable and reasonable, and it is impossible to refute.
All the staff, whether they agree with him or not, are all infected by his spirit, and many of them showed admiration. In any case, the demeanor was indeed extraordinary. Others were lost in thought.
This recorder joins the army, his surname is Guo and his name is Zhangming. It is said that he is a descendant of Guo Ziyi. Although he is still young, he is the most famous young talent in Zhaoyi. On weekdays, Kang Chengqian was very kind to him and meant to cultivate him. If it wasn't for his extraordinary status and talent, he wouldn't dare to disobey Kang Xigui.
Of course, there is another reason right now. Before that, Kang Xigui had been on the same front with him, resolutely resisting the entry of the Pinglu army. Kang Xigui suddenly "rebelled", which surprised Guo Zhangming and made him feel betrayed, so he couldn't sit still.
After hearing Guo Zhangming's words from the bottom of his heart, Kang Xigui didn't feel touched at all. Instead, he let out a cold snort, and still sat motionless. He only glanced at Guo Zhangming and asked, "Is there a general in Zhaoyi?"
Guo Zhangming was startled, realized Kang Xigui's intentions, and immediately said loudly: "Although Zhaoyi has no military generals, the soldiers are loyal and brave..."
"The old man asked if you have any. You just need to answer yes or no." Kang Xigui interrupted Guo Zhangming coldly.
Guo Zhangming's face turned red, he hesitated to speak, and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. Zhaoyi is in the north of the Yellow River, and has not experienced the Huangchao Rebellion, and it is not a frontier, so there are few battles. Where did the generals come from
"No, but..." Guo Zhangming wanted to say something else.
Kang Xigui didn't give him a chance to speak, but looked directly at him and asked, "Pinglu Army's Shangguan Qingcheng, on the bank of the Yellow River, with 3,000 elite cavalry, defeated Wei Bo's 10,000 cavalry in one round, which is a display of military skill. General's cultivation level! May I ask, in Zhaoyi territory, who can stop Shangguan Qingcheng from leading the charge? Can you join the army as a recorder?"
Guo Zhangming opened his mouth and was speechless.
On that day, Shangguan Qingcheng, with an absolutely inferior force, fought with his back on the banks of the Yellow River and defeated Cao Xijin face to face. He has already become famous in the first battle! There are so many vassals and towns in the world, it's not that there are no military generals, but military generals... Looking at the whole world, there is no one who dares to say that he can resist Shangguan Qingcheng head-on, let alone defeat him. up!
Guo Zhangming's face was ugly, but Kang Xigui didn't let him go, and continued to ask: "If it's just a superior official, then that's fine. Let me ask you, the Zhaoyi Army has gone through bloody battles in these years, and there is a group of invincible Really elite?"
"I, a soldier of the Zhaoyi Army, also fought bravely..." Guo Zhangming's voice was obviously lacking in confidence, and he was just pretending.
Kang Xigui sneered: "Zhaoyi's army fought bravely, how is it compared to Wei Bo's army? In the Battle of Bozhou, 50,000 Wei Bo's army defended a city, and it was captured within a few days, and 50,000 reinforcements were brought in! Such a Pinglu army, again Who can stop it?"
Guo Zhangming was speechless.
Kang Xigui glanced at everyone in the hall, his eyes were like lightning, "Old man ask again, is there a great monk in Zhaoyi who is a real person?"
No one spoke. Meeting Kang Xigui's gaze, the staff all lowered their heads unconsciously. Wei Bo only has Cao Zhongming as a real person, and he is still a new breakthrough. Zhaoyi is weaker than Wei Bo, so there is no such thing as a real person.
Kang Xigui's voice gradually turned chilly: "During the battle in Weizhou, King An went straight to the residence of Wei Bo Jiedushi, and took off Cao Zhongming's head in full view! At that time, what everyone saw was four real people! Four real people, this What does it mean? If King An repeats his old tricks and comes to my Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy, who will protect Lian envoy? Who can protect Lian envoy?!"
When the last sentence was asked, needles could be heard in the hall, and Guo Zhangming also lowered his head.
"It's true what the recorder said about joining the army. Wang An's wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed, but so what? Even if you and I know about it, who can do anything to him?"
Kang Xigui's voice was cold, and unconsciously there was a murderous intent, "King An is so powerful, even if he wants to show righteousness, what can we do? After all, King An is not afraid that we will see through his intentions, because we will see through him. Use! This is an upright conspiracy. He has this strength. If he doesn’t follow, he will die! Everyone here, who wants to die? Who wants to kill Lianshi? Cao Zhongming’s lesson from the past is not bloody enough, and it’s not enough for you to recognize Reality?!"
Kang Xigui's words overflowed with murderous intent.
Among the staff in the room, no one has the heart to speak out to refute, because there is no way to refute. Many people were secretly wiping their sweat, only feeling the chill behind their backs.
Kang Xigui looked at Kang Chengqian, cupped his hands and said: "Emissary Lian, now the Pinglu army has gathered in Weizhou, and they will come to me immediately to show righteousness. At this time, the envoy Lian must come out to meet him! Master Wang is seeking rebellion, how can envoy Lian come?" Can you not welcome? The Pinglu army is the king's division, not because they have a righteous name, but because they are strong enough! Lian envoys welcome the king's division, and they are the loyal officials of the Tang Dynasty. King An punished treacherous officials, killed eunuchs, and suppressed rebellion. Everything we do is for the purpose of helping the society, and there are virtuous names outside. If the honest envoy is dedicated to his duty, King An will definitely rely on him, at least he will not make things difficult! This is the way to preserve the honest envoy and the righteousness! Otherwise, it is to repeat Wei It's a big mistake!"
Kang Chengqian nodded, and had to admit that this is the reality. Seeing that none of the staff had any objections, and knowing that the matter was settled, he stood up and saluted Kang Xigui, "Thank you, Chang Shi, for teaching me."
After saluting, he looked at the crowd and made a decision: "Prepare the things for the labor force. I want to greet King An and Master Wang in person!"
The aides looked at each other, got up one after another, and saluted Kang Chengqian: "The incorruptible envoy is wise!"
Kang Chengqian sighed secretly, "Next, let's discuss how to cooperate with King An in the battle."
In fact, Zhaoyi has another way, which is to form an alliance with Hedong. However, if the Hedong army did not enter the country, Zhaoyi would not be able to defeat the Pinglu army. If the Hedong army entered, let alone the battle situation, the Zhaoyi army would have been convicted of rebellion first, which was a hidden danger.

In addition, if the Hedong army won, wouldn't Li Keyong take advantage of the trend to plot Zhaoyi? No one can guarantee. Even if Li Ke used the guarantee, no one would believe it.
Right now, Li Ye's crusade against Li Keyong is a fight between gods and gods. It is impossible for Zhaoyi to have both sides, so he can only choose one side to attach to.
Since you want to be a minion, you should naturally be the minion of the stronger side, so that it is possible to get some soup. The Pinglu Army with military generals, elite divisions, and four real people is of course the stronger side.
