Chapter 818: Cao Hu'er's Ambition That Was Stirred Up
Chapter 818
Because if he does that, he will anger Zhao Xiang, for Cao Hu'er, there is still room for turning around to anger the Son of Heaven, but he does not dare and cannot anger Zhao someone, after all, he has too many handles in the hands of Zhao Linfu.
Just as Cao Hu'er watched the army march south, the voice of Zheng Junshi came from his ears. "The general's face is sad, could it be that he is worried about something?"
"yes, how can you not worry?" Cao Hu'er shook her head helplessly. "Damn, Lao Cao and I have been working hard in the border town for one or two decades, begging my father and suing my grandmother, so I got such a little belongings, and now, with Zhao Xiang's words, my Lao Cao will have to break his leg, maybe even the whole family will have to get in."
"The general doesn't have to be so worried, do you really think that Zhao Xiang asked you to go south to the Immortal Palace, just to protect the unconscious emperor, as well as the queen mother and the eleventh prince?" Zheng Junshi smiled gloomily, stroked his long beard, and said disapprovingly.
"Why, I said Master Zheng, could it be that there are other arguments here? You also know that my old Cao's brain is turning slowly, I'm afraid that even if the army arrives at Youxian Palace, it may not be able to turn around......" Cao Hu'er squinted his eyes and thought hard for a long time, and finally could only shake his head with a wry smile, and said with a look of anticipation towards Zheng Junshi.
"Hehe, since this is the case, then Zheng Mou has overstepped, general, do you think that with Zhao Xiangzhi's talent and vision, he has been in charge of the court for more than ten years, and the court of the Tang Dynasty has almost become his Zhao Linfu's hall, but Zhao Xiang is not satisfied, not only supporting the general for a long time, but also extending his hand to other border towns, and even taking Zuo Yu Linwei's Xu Shou into his command, do you really think that he is just to be a ruler?"
Cao Hu'er narrowed her eyes, and the pupils of those gray-green eyes condensed slightly. "Master Zheng, is this over?"
"Passed? Hehe, general, if Zhao Linfu is only willing to dominate the Tang Dynasty, then just follow the steps, when today's son is favored by him, far above the hundred officials, not to mention that after Chen Guifei was able to do it, Zhao Xiang contributed a lot...... With the Son of Heaven's favor for Empress Chen, and now that all the adult emperors have been driven back to their fiefdoms, it is clear that he wants to pave the way for the eleven princes. ”
"Under such circumstances, as long as Zhao Xiang can maintain the friendship with Empress Chen and try to help the eleventh prince ascend the throne, his merits are not too much. Why ......" Zheng Junshi knew very well that Cao Hu'er was not unexpected, not even unwilling to think about it, but just, some words are more suitable to come out of his mouth, well, to put it bluntly, that is a slut is hypocrisy.
"I can't imagine that Zhao Xiang is so far-sighted, I'm afraid that my old Cao will live for another twenty or thirty years, and I'm afraid that he won't be Zhao Xiang's opponent......" After hearing Zheng Junshi, Cao Hu'er couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed with emotion.
"General, you are a martial artist, if you want to compare your brain with Zhao, who has played with the power of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, you are naturally not his opponent. However, you are a martial artist, which is not only your weakness, but also your strength. Zheng Junshi's eyes narrowed, and his voice suddenly lowered to a very low level, so low that only Cao Hu'er and his party could hear it clearly.
When he heard Zheng Junshi call himself a martial artist and inferior to Zhao Xiang, a cruel and fierce light flashed in Cao Hu'er's narrowed eyes, and he quickly retreated, and when he heard Zheng Junshi's words, Cao Hu'er's gray-green eyes narrowed more and more tightly. "Master Zheng, what do you mean by this, are you provoking the relationship between my Lao Cao and Xiangye?"
"The general's words are fallacious, Zheng is just a broken scholar who can't lift his hands and can't carry it on his shoulders, fortunately the general values it and regards it as his right-hand man......
"The general is heroic and heroic, decisive in killing, and has the talent of heroes, so that Zheng is willing to fight for his life and say these words in front of the general, if the general feels that loyalty is the way of the general, then take Zheng's first head, think about it, Zhao Xiang will definitely look at the general's conscientious work for more than ten years, so that the general has the grace to return to his hometown......"
Cao Hu'er had a cold face, looked at Zheng Junshi, and was silent for a long time, while the others were far away, and no one dared to walk within ten zhang. "Zheng Sleeve, Zheng Sleeve, you are forcing my old Cao to be that treacherous man......" After a long time, the cold killing intent in Cao Hu'er's eyes gradually dissipated, and Cao Hu'er shook his head with a helpless expression and said with emotion.
"In the world, those who are outstanding do not know the ordinary, but how many people can be heroic? Treachery, that is just the words of the loser's grievances, General Cao, are you still afraid that the rumors will not come true? Zheng Sleeve smiled faintly, and the light in his narrowed eyes flickered.
"The important thing is that the opportunity is fleeting, General, there is not much time left for you to decide......"
"Lao Cao has the family background of more than 30,000 sons, even if he adds the 10,000 private soldiers who stayed in the border town, can he dominate the world with this less than 50,000 sons?" Cao Hu'er took a deep breath, smiled, and laughed bitterly, but the flame of ambition in those gray-green eyes had already been lifted by Zheng Sleeve.
"If it was in the past, it would definitely not work, but the current opportunity is the most suitable." Zheng Sleeve confidently stroked the three strands of long hair and smiled coldly. "Zhao Linfu wants to replace Tang Zi, what he lacks is soldiers and horses. Therefore, over the years, he has continued to cultivate power in the army. ”
"Now, the reason why Zhao Linfu wants to let the general go south to the Immortal Palace is that he knows that it is impossible to replace Tang with his mind alone, and he still needs strength to speak in the end......"
The two stayed on the top of this cliff for nearly an hour, and in the end, Cao Hu'er left the cliff first and hurriedly went down the mountain, while Zheng Sleeve looked at Cao Hu'er's back, and on his face, which originally had no expression, a trace of a successful crazy smile gradually rippled.
"Zhao Laogou, I'm afraid you can't think of it, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and there are yellow finches behind, and I don't know if you know that there will be such an ending and end in the future, will you regret what you did at the beginning......" Zheng Sleeve opened his mouth, on the cliff, laughing silently, that strange scene, seeing that the cavalry who were ordered by Cao Hu'er to protect the military division had a chill in their hearts.
That night, after the army set up camp, the torches inside and outside Cao Hu'er's Chinese army tent were not extinguished, a famous general came and went, and a famous herald ran around, until the next morning, the army pulled out the camp, and the army continued to move south, but the direction was somewhat deviated from the original route, not directly to the fairy palace, but more like to intercept someone.

"It's a mess, it's really messy, and the situation in Jingshi is really incomprehensible now." Duan Shaojun scratched his head, looking at the information placed in front of him, it was really incomparably big.
At this moment, Li Youwen, the general who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, was talking to Xu Xiangjun and the three women of the Duan family on the side, not knowing what to talk about, and laughing from time to time, which made Duan Shaojun really a little uneasy.
And here, several bigwigs all have a sad face, which is really speechless, well, it's not all because of Xu Xiangjun's words, if you bigwigs can't do it, come and ask us women again.
As soon as these words came out, they directly squeezed the bigwigs enough, at least Duan Dagongzi's face turned black directly, and the man could say anything, but he couldn't say no. The machismo of others is not much less than that of Duan Dagongzi.
However, the information collected during this period of time in front of me is really a little confusing, obviously he has warned Zhang Jiuling and others who are far away in Beijing, and told them that Zhao Linfu's conscience is very bad, and after the assassination of Princess Zhaoyang fails, there must be a new plot now.
Well, His Majesty's life and death are unknown, which means that Zhao Linfu is the most suspicious, but so much time has passed, and the intelligence transmitted from other angles shows that although there is an undercurrent surging in the Jingshi, the problem is that at least on the surface, it is still very calm, and there is no sign of chaos at all.
And Zhao Linfu is still in charge of government affairs every day, and General Duan continues to stumble into the barracks as usual, there are almost no other changes, no, there are still changes, at least Duan Shaojun has received a letter from Chu Chu's sisters, they have left the Beijing Division, and Zhang Jiuling also told Duan Shaojun that he asked his son to go back to his hometown to save his relatives.
In other words, they all vaguely agree with their own opinions, but the problem is that it is one thing for you to agree, you have to move, even if you can't turn Jingshi upside down, you have to make some movement.
