Chapter 330: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain

Zhao Wuxian now has a life-saving grace for both Lu Hou and the Ji family, so although the monarch and ruler of the Lu State are worried about the "Yang Tiger absconding", they will not criticize him. lWxS520.coM

"Zitai welcomed back the king, and recaptured the bow of the treasure bird and the jade of the Great East, which is already a great feat, as for the Yanghu rebel, sooner or later he will be caught, don't take it to heart!"

Lu Hou has been held hostage for the past two days, he has been so frightened and frightened, his eyes have never been closed, and now he is extremely tired, helping Zhao Wuxian up, and after saying this, he couldn't help but yawn.

Anyway, he had been a puppet for eight years and had never participated in political affairs, so Ji Sunsi asked the master of ceremonies Liu to send Lu Hou to rest in the intact palace, and he himself talked about state affairs with Zhao Wuxian with a discussion and tone.

Ji Sunsi is most concerned about the whereabouts of Yang Hu, he hates and fears this retainer who has held his life in his hands for several years, and only wants to catch him in Lu City and behead the corpse, so that the people of Lu can know that he Ji has finally pulled out the skin and tendons of this tiger who has carried the master.

As long as Yang Hu does not die for a day, he will be like a man.

"Yang Hu has absconded to the north, and I have sent soldiers to pursue him, and I don't know if I can catch him......"

"North? Yang Hu and his henchmen still control Yuncheng in the west, Feiyi in the east, Guancheng in the northwest, and Yangguan in the north. ”

Yangguan, that is the dangerous pass on the front line of Mount Tai in the north of the Lu State, and it is also the front line in the face of the offensive of the Qi State, and there are more than 1,000 soldiers stationed all year round. It was once captured by the Qi State, but it was not long before it was regained by the Lu State, Yang Hu unceremoniously put this city into his sleeve, and ran it into the Yang family's lair, although his harsh government caused the dissatisfaction of the Lu people, but there were still many dead soldiers loyal to him in the city.

"Ruoyang Tiger really succeeded in escaping back to Yangguan. That's to let the tiger go back to the mountain...... Yangguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it is winter, and it will be snowed in another month and a half. There are many difficulties in mobilizing troops and transporting grain, and if we want to completely eradicate them, I am afraid that we will have to wait for the beginning of spring next year......"

Speaking of which. Ji Sunsi's eyes lit up: "Zitai is willing to send a good warrior to go?" ”

The distance between Yangguan and Zhao Wuxian's territory to the west is too far away, and even if it is captured, it will be difficult to manage.

For this kind of thankless thing, Zhao Wuxian categorically refused: "Da Situ, after two days of hard fighting, the losses are not small, not to mention that it is not only Yangguan that is in danger, but also Yuncheng, which is related to the traffic between Lu and Wei Jin. I am the Doctor of the Devils. is closest to Yuncheng, Wuxian asked for his life to attack Yuncheng, as for Yangguan, if Da Situ has nothing to do, why don't you ask Da Sikong to think of a way? ”

Ji Sunsi's face was gloomy, the news that Meng's Yiyi Zaigong Yang once wanted to attack him, he had already learned from Zhao Wuxian. During the Yang Tiger dictatorship, the Meng clan was able to retain his authority thanks to this person, and now the Ji clan's vitality has been greatly damaged. In the short term, the strength is not as good as the Meng family, which makes the Ji Sun family, who has always claimed to be the head of the three huans, feel in crisis, for fear that today's events will happen again.

Yangguan is also theoretically the territory of the Ji family. If you let Meng take it, it will be a little embarrassing.

Zhao Wuxian suggested: "I have an idea, maybe I can go to Yangguan without a fight." ”

"Tell me!"

"It's better to send a warrior to lead the army to Yangguan on the road to intercept, if Yanghu has not arrived, you can take the king's pardon to recruit the rebels, and declare that this time only the head will be punished, and the rest will not be blamed in the past."

"This ...... I wonder who can take on this responsibility? ”

"You can recommend a brave man without a shirt, and you can go to Yangguan and your party."

"Who?"

"Zilu!"

Hearing Zhao Wuxian's recommendation of Zilu, Ji Sunsi was slightly stunned.

"Why? This person is not only loyal and brave. Do you still have the ability to excel? ”

"Zilu has a strong personality and has no promises. That's enough. ”

Zhao Wuxian heard Zilu talk about it, he used to stay in Yangguan back then. He still has some friendship with Sima in Yangguanyi. And he has no promises, that is, what he promised to fulfill today, and he will never delay until tomorrow, and he is very trusted.

Combined with what happened today, Zhao Wuxian gave birth to a note, just to borrow Zilu's faith to achieve it!

Ji Sunsi had no other way, Ji's private family suffered heavy losses, and he had to regain his territory in order to expect the people to collect taxes and restore their strength, where could they get together the troops to attack the city, but they didn't want to cheap the Meng family, so they could only agree to sign an amnesty in their ruling capacity to disintegrate the Yanghu Yu Party.

"In fact, although Yangguan is important, it is not the most urgent matter, and now dealing with the rebels in Feiyi and rescuing Da Sima is what Zhu Qing needs to consider immediately. Although Gongshan Bufu is the party of the Yang Tiger, he has always been out of it, and Fei Yi is also the main town of the Ji family, with more than 10,000 household registrations, if he is allowed to sit big, I am afraid it will become a problem for his henchmen......"

Ji Sunsi deeply thought that compared to Yangguan, Fei Yi was more important to the Ji family and to the Lu country. Moreover, their Ji clan is at a disadvantage in the face of the Meng clan alone, and they can only win over Zhao Wuxian to contend with it, but Zhao Wuxian, as an outsider, has not been fully trusted by the Ji clan, and today's Yang Hu's escape is also full of doubts. Therefore, it is not a long-term solution, and it is necessary to welcome back the uncle and grandson and support each other.

Zhao Wuxian's mind is not like this, he doesn't want the Meng clan to be dominant, so now help the Ji clan first, don't let them fall out, but for Fei Yi, first, he doesn't have any good ideas, and secondly, let the Ji clan swallow like a stalk, lest they break away from the fragile alliance with Zhao Wuxian too quickly.

"Wait for the day after tomorrow when the emperor will convene a court meeting and convene the secretary to meet the doctor to reassure the people. Zitai has made immortal achievements and deserves to be rewarded. There will be no less, even if Meng wants to break the promise, I will fully support it! ”

When parting, Ji Sunsi swore an oath and lost no time in hacking Meng's family, while Zhao Wuxian thanked him with a smile. In fact, he still occupies the west of the city, and the military soldiers are still waiting for him, so he is naturally not afraid of Sanhuan's treachery, and dare to lose any benefit to him? First ask the spear crossbow light rider if he agrees.

……

When they got out of the palace and entered the west of the city, all the retainers and subordinates came to report the situation, and when the explanation was completed, it was already the second half of the night, leaving only Feng Rin Muxia on the side, lighting lamps and candles to inspect the money and silk pearls obtained when chasing Yang Hu.

These things were collected by Zhao Wuxian and asked Mucha to be collected and specially transported from the West Gate, covered with thick linen cloth, and pulled directly to the Chengxi Arsenal that was requisitioned by Wuxian.

Feng Rin, who had learned counting, held the abacus and reported: "The subordinates have counted it, and there are a total of eight gold, seven pearls, thirty-five jades, and ...... Nineteen exquisite white Zhao porcelain, and the rest of the scattered curiosities are not counted. ”

"Although Lu Hou has lost his authority, Sanhuan still has to send part of the tribute to the palace every year, which adds up to a lot, so he will not be as embarrassed as Zhou Tianzi. When Yang Hu fled, he took these savings with him, and he wanted to use them as the capital for recruiting soldiers and bribes, but he didn't expect it to cheapen me. ”

Zhao Wuxian looked at the flickering gold and jade, and was in a very good mood, after all, this is worth two or three years of taxes from Zhenyi and Xiaqiu, if you want political stability and a strong military, the first priority is "the country must be rich and there will be more corn", how can he not like it if he has obtained so much property for nothing?

With these, the plan of spring ploughing and land development to build a handicraft industrial chain and dredge business in the coming year can be smoothly implemented!

Feng Rin's ability to do things has improved, and his flattery and sycophant kung fu have also risen, and he saw that Wuxian was in a good mood, so he flattered and said: "The doctor has been planning for several months, and finally has today's complete victory, even Sanhuan has to rely on the doctor to snort, and tomorrow the court will definitely be able to get the fief and title he wants!" ”

Zhao Wuxian sighed and said, "Victory? No, it's just a reluctant compromise. ”

The night in Lucheng in October was already a little cold, and Zhao Wuxian was draped in a large coat left by Zhao Ying, which was sewn by his sister with dozens of fast mink skins, and the needle and thread on it seemed to have Ji Ying's temperature, which was heartwarming. The inner lining has a medicine bag of Le Lingzi, which can wake up the shirtless on a sleepy night, and after the brush, there is a lingering fragrance of Zhilan.

In his mind, the complete victory of entering Lu this time should be to end Yang Hu and Sanhuan in one pot, and then have the capital to return to the country and compete with the Jin Qing within three years, only then can he go home and complete the three-year appointment with Le Lingzi.

"But no matter in terms of strength or prestige, I am destined to be unable to defeat the Three Huanyang Tigers together. If I had come in spite of the situation, the menacing momentum of Dr. Lu and his people would probably have expelled me from this state in turn. If I disrupt the Lu country, it will also cheapen the people of the Qi country, and at that time, I will not only not be the hero of the Jin-Lu Alliance, but a sinner. ”

"At first, I was very hesitant about Sanhuan and Yang Hu's back, Yang Hu is a rebellious courtier, but he is also a strong backbone of the anti-Qi, I only need to move my mouth to join, and pin my hope that he can get a piece of my pie. Although the Ji family and the uncle and grandson in the Three Huans are cowardly and incompetent, I must intervene with all my strength to support them to escape this catastrophe, but it is also easy to fight against them in the future and defeat them individually. ”

Zimi, who only Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan knew, blurted out, and Feng Rin was shocked when he heard it, but he was overjoyed. In the past, he was only responsible for the communication between Zhao Wuxian and Yang Hu, but he couldn't see the whole picture of the matter, and he didn't get a glimpse until today.

He thought to himself, "Is this what the doctor means by taking me as a close confidant?" ”

The reason why Zhao Wuxian did this was to let Feng Rin know some irrelevant past, on the one hand, to show his faith, and on the other hand, to prepare to use him greatly, after all, in the past year, he has also made a lot of contributions and should be rewarded.

This half-deliberate and half-unintentional move flattered Feng Rin, so he boldly asked: "Yang Hu's escape, the subordinate heard about it, did he really go to Yangguan?" ”

Facing Feng Rin's question, Zhao Wuxian chuckled and said, "Yangguan? It's too critical there, it's related to the offensive and defensive posture of the two countries of Qi and Lu, I still expect Zilu to successfully recruit them, how can I let the tiger return to the mountain? The so-called sound in the north and attack in the west, Yanghu is probably about to arrive in Yunyi now, and it is getting closer and closer to the destination Guancheng! (To be continued)
